PROGRAM Two Cao Give As Easily As One Does your employer participate in the Matching Gift Program? Over 400 companies will match your gift to your college. Some of these companies even contribute twice as much as their individual emplOyees. In effect, your employer is recognizing the contribution which you, as an ed­ ucated person, are making to your company. It s the boss’s way of saying "thanks” to the college which helped to provide your education. To be sure, gift matching is only one way in which businesses and corporations are assisting education. But it has become an increasingly significant source of annual support. Perhaps the most pleasant aspect of gift matching, next to the good such contributions do, is how easily you can arrange to have them sent. Once you have made your gift, just inform the appropriate persons at your company that you’ve done so. A matching check will be sent to your college soon thereafter, indicating that your gift made the matching gift possible. Listed below are fifty-one businesses and corporations that have matched the gifts of their employees to Wilkes College. Abbott Laboratories Aetna Casualty American Home Products American Tobacco Co.

It was a one-day event on May 11, 1968. The Executive Committee chose the general topic of Dissent for discussion and decided to keep everyone in one group. The Seminar Committee chose the participants and asked them to discuss their individual points of view on the topic. These formal presentations took place in the Center for the Performing Arts in the morning. John Doran ’57, intro­ duced the topic and the participants. Dr. Charles Reif was the first speaker and was followed by Dr. Robert Werner, Dr. Gerald Perkus, and Michael Worth. Their speeches have been printed here in the Alumnus as they were given for the Sem­ inar. Remember that these were speeches and that they represent no group. The speeches are their own views. Paul Cunningham spoke at the luncheon. At his request no part of his speech can be reported. He started with his own opinions about Vietnam as a result of a three months stay in Vietnam. He then asked for questions from the floor. The participants from the morning session of the Seminar served as a panel for an open discussion on the topic of Dissent in the afternoon. Dr. Hugo Mailey served as moderator for this panel. He asked questions of the individual panel members and followed this with the opportunity for the panel members to ques­ tion each other. The third phase of the discussion concentrated on questions from the floor. About 100 alumni, faculty, students, and friends were in attendance. page | 5 �by Dr. Charles B. Reif — Professor of Biology DISSENT p-"-, ■" j ! 1 ! r‘ In choosing the word DISSENT as the topic of today's seminar, the Alumni did not specify as to the part of speech. Dissent can be a noun, an in­ transitive verb, and an expletive. I have presumed to use the word as a noun in the meaning of dissension, that is as given in Webster, disagree­ ment in opinion, especially partisan and contentious division, a breach of friendship, or discord. Needless to say, the Alumni have chosen a topic con­ cerning which examples abound. Dissension is thus, for my purpose in this seminar, the act of disagreeing with what is considered to be the norm. Throughout history many at­ tempts have been made to establish what society in general, or a specific society, could consider to be an ac­ ceptable pattern of behavior. Varia­ tions from what has been accepted by any population can. be accomplished by an individual or by a group. If we take dissension as being such a variation from the norm, we can easily see that variations can be ex­ pressed in any direction away from the norm. If we use as an illustration the idea of a bell-shaped normal curve, we may indicate that at either end of the curve are incidents of variation. If we use a sphere as an illustration, we may see that incidents of variation are possible of expression in all directions away from the center of the sphere. In either illustration, the greater the distance each incident from the mean of the curve or from the center of the sphere, the greater the dissent for each case. Society has recognized that within any human population individuals may be rated as being outstanding or differ­ ent for a number of reasons, and so­ ciety has dealt harshly with the de­ viating individuals at both ends of the range. Granted that ideas of good or bad are relative, and vary during dif­ ferent times and in different societies, history is full of records about those who have been banished, imprisoned, or executed because their ideas ap­ peared to be dissenting from what was accepted at the time. In retrospect, later populations have judged their deviant predecessors and decided that although two persons may have been treated to the same form of execution at the same time, one was a saint and the other a sinner. However, both were dissenters. Within the framework of organic evolution, the normal action is that of divergence; each succeeding genera­ tion is composed of populations of re­ lated animals which are in some slight way different from each other and from their ancestors. The natural ten­ dency is for differences to come into being. The more the variation in the environment, the more the response of living forms in becoming different. The divergent forms, in order to sur­ vive as different populations, must move away from the parent group. Any individual who finds that he is different from his contemporaries, in most animal species, can stay with the group and take his chances of sur­ viving during intra-specific competi­ tion or he can move out of the terri­ tory of the standard individuals and thus have a better chance of contin­ uing not only his own life but also of having a chance to found a population of his own kind. If he successfully stays with the original group, his prog­ eny mix back into the gene pool of the standard population and tend not to be divergent. If a new kind of popula­ tion comes into being, the new population may find itself competing with the population from which it sprang. However, generally, two species compete with each other in the same niche until one is successful and the other has left the arena, having moved to another territory, having adapted itself to an­ other kind of habitat, or having be­ come extinct. Thus, intraspecific com­ petition becomes interspecific compe- tition and the reason of dissent be­ tween the two species or incipient species is settled by some kind of an adjustment. The term niche is applied to the parameters, that is, to all of the factors of the environment, which describe a way of life and/or a place for life, which can be occupied by any single species. As we have said above, two different kinds of animals cannot oc­ cupy the same niche in the same place at the same time. However, as organic and inorganic evolution continue, as they have since the creation of planet Earth, new niches become available for occupancy and the niches are filled as fast as new kinds of organisms can adapt to them. The new niches invite differentiation. This is a basic law of nature; and in human society new economic and social niches are con­ stantly being created as technology gives rise to the need for people with new kinds of training. The constant evolution of new niches, and the filling of those niches, invite disciples to be­ come different and to exploit the pos­ sibilities of each niche. The more complex society becomes, the more niches appear, and the faster the rate of their appearance. Man's mind has few limits. Within a normal human population some in­ dividual usually appears who can recognize a new fact, a new concept, a new application, and that individual opens the door to people in general. In some areas of knowledge, society provides that originator with a patent to develop his niche and so social dif­ ferences become multitudinous. At any rate, the new niches make for differently trained people in positions which may have conflicting interests, and so causes for dissension appear. Further­ more, as inorganic factors [such as rainfall, temperature, and those affect­ ing primarily agriculture and grazing) as well as the organic factors (such as disease and population growth) vary, the pattern which has become the norm in a society also changes and adjustments must be made. This is |int]B | 7 �true of non-human and human popula­ tions. In either case, new pressures appear within the pattern and dissent becomes more pronounced. In human society, historically, diver­ gent groups have tended to occupy different geographical territories, or have in some way isolated themselves within a city, a state, or a nation. The power of a leader who commanded allegiance, or the power of the state, or the religious and/or social mores, established rules so that in any case the group was forced to accept a pat­ tern of behavior. History has many cases in which groups have managed to escape from the accepted norm and have colonized an unoccupied terri­ tory. In some cases the colonizers have displaced a more primitive culture, not without dissension between the na­ tives and the colonizers. America was largely settled by those who were dis­ satisfied in the Old World and who had the initiative to migrate, or by those who were dissatisfied but who had to be persuaded to move through some kind of promotion on the part of a commercial interest. In the second half of the twentieth century geographic expansion is lim­ ited and replacement of native popula­ tions is considered to be unsporting. Some hardy souls still attempt to oc­ cupy marginal land but generally they end in economic failure or poverty. Thus, divergent groups are forced, to­ day, to face each other in a limited arena wherein they must resort to con­ flict or transcend their differences. The old attitude of “If I don't like it here. I'll go some other place” is now rather difficult. Very few other places are available. Another aspect of the human pro­ pensity is the ecological principle of each individual's personal territory. Each of us has surrounding him a set of concentric zones within which he, unconsciously perhaps, does not like to have others intrude. Members of‘ his immediate family are permitted within the most proximal zone, per­ sonal friends within the next distal zone, business associates in the next zone out, and strangers in the outer­ most zone. People T _ ’ vary ,................... in the width of‘ these zones but many people feel un­ easy when a zone is trespassed and their reactions take various forms of dissension toward the trespasser. But territorial separation is not the patju | H only kind of spacing which alleviates dissent. Among plants, animals, and human beings other kinds of divisive phenomena are employed. Separation in time may keep divergent groups apart. Most people are on some kind of daily pattern which works to avoid interaction with others. Animals at a watering hole have evolved a system whereby all may have a drink without interfering with the others. Certain daily patterns of urban dwellers create traffic jams periodically, but for the most part the chronological separation keeps them happily apart. Nearly everyone makes some kind of mental adjustment in order to en­ dure the failure of spatial separation. Some are by nature more gregarious than others; some are withdrawn. The loner may be expressing his dissent by his very separateness. The gregarious types may be better able to deal with the differences they encounter but they also create more opportunities for dissent. Within many populations, the gregarious souls (and some not so endowed) band together for any of a number of reasons, a peck order is generally established, and the majority learn to live within the framework of the peck order. Those who dissent from one peck order go off to start another peck order in which each individual hopes for a better position. Regardless of the framework, crowd­ " ing makes more difficult the mech­ anisms which keep any social order operable. Within any system, the dissenter is one who has had some experience which has hurt him. Either he has been personally aggrieved or he has ob­ served some other person’s being mis­ treated. Had the experience not been as marked, the dissenter probably __ ___ would not have reacted; he would have accepted the experience and been undisturbed. However, because the experience stung him and surprised him he has been moved, individually, or with others, to espouse a cause and so his dissension has taken form. The better the dissenter is informed, the easier his focusing upon the ex­ perience and the better disciplined his reaction, for good =—1 c. or evil.■ Much of what 1=„o noB , . is. . called —human ----- —1 prcg progress has been initiated by high-minded dissent­ ers. However, some people take a dogm-the-manger attitude and strike out in response with little rational action in their dissent. The better 'nfornied person may be able to act c°nstruc. tively as a result of the experience and in such a case is expressed an entire different kind of dissent. Instead being eager to sink the boat and all th passengers in it as an expression Df dissent, the better informed person may at least wait until he himself is safely ashore before he takes action As I have indicated at other times in other places, dissension frequently results in damage to the environment and by environment I include the inorganic, organic, and human aspects which make up the total environment for each of us. We are here because for each of us his own particular en­ vironment makes it possible. Damage of any kind to the environment casts a shadow on all of us. Some who dam­ age the environment may do so with­ out knowing it. Others damage the en­ vironment knowingly but do not cease their detrimental activity. Too many of us are plainly self-centered and con­ tinue to plunder with full knowledge that what we do is causing a deteriora­ tion of the environment. AU who com­ mit some damage are dissenting from a behavior which would preserve the environment for the general good. In an affluent society, comprehen­ sion of the basic facts of life is diffi­ cult. Few Americans are pushed to the fundamental necessities' of survival. Perhaps not one of us is faced with an honest need to see what kind of per­ son he really is. The kind of environ­ ment in which each person can fulfill his genotype is perhaps beyond hu­ man achievement. Certainly, the diver­ sity to which we have alluded makes the likelihood of such an environment remote. The remarkable fact is that many people do realize much of their potential despite the troublemakers who interfere. In all populations through the span of human history, troublemakers have been present. These people have been the good or bad dissenters to whom I have pre­ viously alluded. Probably the percent­ age of people in the human population who dissent remains the same (al­ though I am inclined to believe that the percentage increases as society be­ comes more complex); however, the real number of people who are dis­ senting in a disrupting fashion today is increasing as the population grows. Even those who preach nonviolence are causing strife with resultant dam­ age to the environment. The average man of today, thanks to technical ad­ vantages which his ancestors did not possess, can personally damage the environment with ease and often does so with impunity. The kinds of dissenting action may take many forms. Vocal expressions are common, but preaching reaches few people, unless one can afford prime time on television. Fighting or some form of overt aggressive action may kill not only the dissenter and his target of opposition but also some in­ nocent bystander. The secretive sab­ oteur may use arson, poison, smut, or drugs. In this aspect, many support the view that such techniques are being pushed in the United States by agents who espouse some form of govern­ ment other than democracy. With­ drawal as a form of dissenting makes lonely people thus have less chance to realize their potentials and also sel­ dom able to make a contribution to the common good. A strong leader who goes off on a dissident tack may popularize an idea and attract a following. The popularity of his cause may not assure individual action but may soak up energy which might be otherwise expressed. Few of the workers who are attracted to such a crusade have had the practical ex­ perience needed to assure quality of the crusade. And many crusades are highjacked by other dissident groups who bend the crusade to their own designs. The constructive accomplish­ ment of the dissident crusade is often difficult to see. Complaining about a situation is much easier than doing something positive. Granted that the organization of the contemporary en­ vironment makes taking worthwhile long-range action very trying, true ac­ complishment requires both wisdom and dedication. The actions of students these days have several aspects. A small percent­ age of the nation's students have been publicized as protesting certain as­ pects of the status quo. Certainly one must admit that the students have chosen a fertile field in which to find objects worthy of protest. The future does indeed look gloomy, for human­ ity has reached a point in history where the choice is between (1) quick annihilation by atomic nuclear means, or (2) slower and more ghastly death by overpopulation, or (3) paying the price necessary to improve the situa­ tion in time to avoid the first two al­ ternatives. Deterioration of the en­ vironment is a reality. However, the students who have little trouble in seeing what is wrong are exceedingly myopic about seeing what is good in the status quo. None of them would be in a position to protest were it not for the years of honest toil and sincere concern on the part of the vast major­ ity, past and present. Among the students is a hard core of chronic negative dissenters who are not without the help of off-campus in­ fluences. In attempting to analyze the situation, one finds it hard to differen­ tiate between protests against some of America's honest mistakes and pro­ tests which have been subverted. The results of permissive childhood make the assumption of responsibility by the students the more difficult. And lately the appearance on the faculty of people who have been trained in pro­ test has changed the nature of many college faculties. Furthermore, many of the parents of student activists, if not giving outright support to their offspring, at least suggest tacit ap­ proval. The students find strength in their greater numbers. Each is trying to find himself and his place in the confusing situation. In all of this, the need to express individuality in a crowded population causes some people to go overboard. Among the influences outside of the academic environment which promote unrest in the United States and which contribute to the generally accepted ideas of the younger people, as well as many adults, are the news media. Because of the condensation, fragmen­ tation, and bias of news in both the newspapers and on television (the majority of radio reports being practically useless), the American pub­ lic tends to be misinformed or poor­ ly informed. Advertising, especially through the mass communication me­ dia, has younger people as its main target in selling much which is trash and environmentally deteriorating. Ad­ vertising also accomplishes much in shaping the thinking of people and thus contributing to their misinforma­ tion. Paradoxically, the more informed a person is, the less sure he is of ab­ solute answers, but the poorly or par­ tially informed person frequently has definite answers and takes an adamant stand. The quality of democracy de­ pends upon an informed electorate. Voting intelligently requires more learning and more maturity. Those candidates for office who advocate re­ ducing the voting age instead of rais­ ing the voting age reveal a lack of understanding concerning the popula­ tion problem. One often hears mention of freedom as related to the current atmosphere of dissent. Complete freedom is a willo’-the-wisp. An individual is free to act only within the limiting factors of his environment. While it is true that intelligent, or unintelligent, action can change some of the factors of the en­ vironment, to tamper with the environ­ ment requires great wisdom. Any mis­ take invites disaster. The crowding brought on by the phenomenon of overpopulation (and I cannot miss this opportunity to repeat that the United States of America is the most overpopulated nation on Earth today) tends to restrict the amount of freedom granted to individuals. As I have in­ dicated above, the larger the popula­ tion, the more limiting factors. To be in a state of complete free­ dom necessitates being without a goal and without standards. Any goal or any standard limits one’s actions and reduces his degree of freedom. The lack of a goal promotes emptiness and a sense of futility. The sense of futility creates a desire for attachment to something in which the individual can believe. The something may be a cause which the person takes upon himself but more likely the cause is promoted by a dissenter who has as­ sumed leadership. This may lead to good or evil. As one engaged in what is called education (which certainly is intro­ spective in its attempts to improve) I believe that the goal of education is so to inform the younger members of the population and so to train them in modes of action that the population continues to have some goal which specifically precludes destruction of the environment. Destruction of the environment, of course, includes the death of "the population. In this frame­ work, the individual has the privilege of dissent only so long as his actions do not trespass upon the environment, personal or corporate. ° paqe j 9 �my experience in teaching management groups. To their credit, firms are typ­ ically aware of this problem and at­ tempt to deal with it. Obviously, the dissent does not take the form of re­ volt or rebellion because of the job consideration. However, it may mani­ fest itself in subtle ways such as a higher quit rate, less cooperation, low­ er productivity or inertia. First of all, I would like to extend my personal greetings to all of the alumni. I suppose a professor can tell he is getting older if at succeeding meetings he recognizes more and more of his former students in the audience. THE RULE OF THE PROFESSOR IN THE CHANGING ACADEMIC 1 SCENE patjit 11(] At this point, I wish to turn to the topic we are considering today, dis­ sent. I thought it might be of interest to the alumni to know how my topic finally evolved. I only hope that it does not confirm the belief that the profes­ sor's thought process is obscure, or shall we reveal the word confused. I have a sneaking suspicion that this was a belief you may have had as students. Indulge me if you will. I must confess that when I was first asked to participate, and was informed of the theme of the presentations, I im­ mediately began to think in terms of a glorious talk based on dissent or dis­ agreement among economists, or of the history' of dissenting economists. How­ ever, wiser heads among the colleagues of my craft gently suggested that few audiences, however tolerant, would care to listen to such an obscure pre­ sentation. I suppose this is the manner in which the academic mind operates. A term or word sets up a Pavlov-like reflex, and you tend to equate it in the dimension of your own field. The next step taken in attempting to obtain a grasp of the subject was the traditional act of the academic plodder, define it. Dissent, according to my modest desk dictionary, means: to dif­ fer in opinion; to disagree. Actually, in today’s world, the word is often used to cover conditions ranging from mild disagreement to raging rebellion. I then decided to go back to the familiar, to go back to what I know, to go back to what I teach, and finally to go back to my own environment. In following my own dictates, I will turn first to dissent in managerial or­ ganizations and unions, as management and labor are areas of academic inter­ est to me. Finally, I will turn to dissent in the academic world, the world that is my work environment. Dissent In Management And Labor I shall deal very briefly with dissent in business and dissent in organized labor. Note, I am not referring to labor­ management disagreements. In the light of spectacular political dissent, and in the light of happenings on the campuses, we may tend to for­ get or ignore the fact that other institu­ tions are also undergoing strains, in some cases convulsions. I am simply suggesting that the forces that are cre­ ating tension, alienation and disrup­ tion, exist in other institutions. Let me deal briefly with the business world. No one in this area can ignore the current preoccupation, in the liter­ ature and in practice, with organiza­ tion theory, channels of communica­ tions, and relationships between one level of management and another. Strains appear; one level of manage­ ment is alienated from another level o management, lower levels of manage­ ment often feel remote or left °nt. They may feel that they are caugh in the grip of something larger than themselves, with the resultant reper cussions. I have often met this reality of sentment, dissent and remoteness, >n If we turn to the internal workings of the labor union, we note several parallel manifestations today. Our at­ tention is drawn to the emergence of the large union. Through a process of evolution, bureaucracy and routiniza­ tion set in. The member feels more and more remote from the levels that de­ cide his destiny. He may work for a firm where the decisions are made at some high level that is only dimly per­ ceived. These are decisions affecting him. His union official, who negotiates and sets policy in his behalf, occupies this same high, remote level. As a re­ sult of this, we have manifestations of the so called “Revolt of Membership” against their leaders. been the stock in trade of the thinker from time immemorial, otherwise we would probably still be chipping stones in the same old way, and be chasing lightning to obtain fire. If you will indulge me, as an economist I cannot resist making at least passing reference to the great fig­ ures of dissent in my field over the last hundred years. Henry George, whose ideas were anathema to academic economists, provides one such exam­ ple. The name John R. Commons comes to mind. His emphasis on social institu­ tions rather than quantitative measure­ ment scandalized many of his col­ leagues in his time. Keynes, in the thirties, and even today, is still a sub­ ject of controversy. Finally, no economist of this cen­ tury has enraged the academic com­ munity or scandalized the public as much as Thorstein Veblen. Today, we find diluted versions of some of his concepts calmly accepted as paperback best sellers. Any economist can add to the list for after all, one man’s anath­ ema is another’s champion. The literature notes the ousting, in recent years, of leaders who had lost touch with the rank and file’s wants and aspirations. We also note the num­ ber of cases where the national union has negotiated contracts with manage­ ment, presumably to the satisfaction of both sides, or at least acceptance, only to find the union leaders embarrassed in that their recommendations for ac­ ceptance are overturned by the rank and file, or the rank and file stay out on other local issues. I am simply sug­ gesting here, that strains of violent dis­ sension and revolt seem to be found in many organizations and institutions today. What I am inferring at this point is simply this, historically, the academi­ cian need not apologize as being an apostle of the status quo. I am sure that the history of every discipline from Archeology to Zoology is one of ferment, change, and if you will, dis­ sension, but dissension with a quali­ fication, responsibility. At this point, I would like to turn to the heart of my presentation, the ma­ jor area of concern: dissent in the aca­ demic world and the role of the professor. Academic dissent may seem man­ nered and artificial in terms of the formality of statement, counterstate­ ment, rejoinder and rebuttal, as found in the journals. However, we have found this to be effective in the pre­ sentation of our ideas which may be of life, death, and career considerations to us. It has been said that the rela­ tionships, both social and professional, of one academician to another is as prescribed as the steps of the minuet, The dimension of the problem is wide, the areas of conflict are diversi­ fied, therefore I would like to pursue an orderly appraisal. First, we may investigate the back­ ground of dissent and disagreement in the academic world. It need hardly be emphasized that disagreement and im­ patience with present knowledge has We in economics have been known to disagree. As a matter of fact, it was recently stated that if you laid all the economists end to end, they would point in all directions. In effect, dis­ sent or disagreement is the lifeblood of the field. This does not mean that we do not care or that our blood runs thin, but rather we have found that deep dis- agreement may still be carried out in an orderly, responsible manner. In effeet, we do not, I repeat we do not tear down our opponent’s publishing house or hold his editor hostage. As one elderly professor recently remarked to me, this is still an occupation of gentle­ men, with an emphasis on the true meaning of gentleman. Leaving scholarly controversy, let us turn to the history of dissent in ex­ treme form among the students. If we follow the popular press, we find two divergent attitudes subtly presented. One view holds that the recent drama­ tic outbursts are a new development in our culture to be looked upon with ap­ prehension and trepidation. On the other hand, we can perceive the view­ point that outbreaks and disruption, although to be deplored now, have had a long history' in our society. Inevitab­ ly' the more learned columnist of this school makes reference to the unruli­ ness of the students in the ancient scene, the student escapades of the middle ages, or the revolutionary' per­ iod in Germany in the last century. Whatever the case may be, I submit that the practices of the present may not be attacked or defended solely on the basis of the happenings of the past. Different problems, different genera­ tions, and a different cultural context, demand that each period make its own evaluation. Historians of such matters note that students in our early institu­ tions of higher learning engaged in gunfire to emphasize their point. This neither condones nor conderrins the present actions in the academic scene. In effect, let the actions of each period justify themselves. The Causes Of Dissent On The Academic Scene Frankly, I do not pretend to know what specifically has caused the dis­ ruptions that have recently’ occurred on various campuses throughout the country. I am not confident of my knowledge to the extent that I would isolate one causative factor as the fo­ cus of the problem. In short, I am not a monist. On the other hand, I refuse to ignore the problems presented because of the complexity of causative forces. At this point, let me refer once again to the popular press. In recent weeks, the turmoil has been described in terms of awakening, page|11 �h activism, relevance, involvement, metoo-ism, and alienation; terms such as permissiveness are used and inevit­ ably, the affluent economy enters into the story. I wonder if any of you noted the article appearing recently in the New York Times, reporting some psycho­ analysts’ views on turmoil on the cam­ pus. One felt that the real goal of the students was to, “radicalize the facul­ ty." Another psychoanalyst’s view was that the students were following the long tradition of violence in the United States. Finally, it was reported that yet another member of this panel de­ scribed disturbances as, “exhilarating turmoil that purges the students of feelings of futility and despair." In this wealth of description, I should like to focus on relevance and alienation and the professor's role and relationship to the student. Let me state my proposition. I be­ lieve that some part of the problem involves the relationship of the pro­ fessor to the student. To illustrate my position. I believe that the professor should occupy a rather special rela­ tionship with the student I believe the professor's contact with the student personifies the institution, it is a point of contact with the institution. I be­ lieve it is the professor’s job to ex­ plain, in lecture and in his office, the relevancy of the student's study and work. I believe that this relationship is important in conveying to the stu­ dent the feeling that he is an important part of the institution and society. The point I am making can be illus­ trated in reference to management and labor organization theory. It has long been held that few people identify with an abstract institution or organization whether it is General Motors, The United Automobile Workers, or Siwash University. They identify with an individual or group. To the worker in General Motors, the foreman is General Motors personified; to the fel­ low with a grievance, his shop stew­ ard personifies the United Automobile Workers; finally, to the student, his human point of contact is his profes­ sor or his advisor, the university per­ sonified. I am well aware that my col­ leagues will wince at my comparison. The foreman, shop steward, or profes­ sor is inevitably Janus faced in that his importance, his significance in the page 112 channel of communications, this chain or human relations, extends in both directions. I have. indicated that the professor ’._:t role to play. I has a personal contact also oTthe belief that the profesam -ell be introspective enough sor may well enoug to perceive his role. It is true, of course, that different people have diverse conceptions of their jobs. However, various occupa­ tions would seem to call for specific interests and preoccupations. The art­ ist is concerned with form and color, the musician with tone, rhythm and sound, the engineer is concerned with form and structure, and the actuary is concerned with values, expectations and predictability. It would be as­ sumed that the professor would be concerned with scholarship, truth, and students. Of course, no matter what our func­ tion is, our image in the eye of the stu­ dent may be something different. One author lists our images as follows: eager beavers, bom teachers, scholars, artists, dullards, drones and organiza­ tion men. I might note somewhat rue­ fully, that only three of the seven are complimentary. I hope our batting average is better than that. No matter how we view our own role, or whatever the critical eye of the undergraduate perceives, I believe it is important that we are there, and that we realize the importance of our re­ lationships to students. But note, while the professor is there, he is, in the eye of the beholder, whatever image he may project. Unfortunately, the problem is that in many cases, the professor is no longer there, or he is only dimly perceived on a detached, lofty, Olympian cloud dur­ ing a weekly lecture. He is represented in quiz sections or breakdowns, in the large university, by a harried, young teaching assistant better known as the T.A. I am obviously suggesting that a necessary person in the channel of communications, an iimportant ingredient in the making off a university, something more than an i..., ______ impersonal conglomeration of people, is missing. The link that connects the undergrad­ uate to the institution is broken. This may induce a feeling of isolation and alienation, In no way am I suggesting that his presence is necessary as some type f big brother, or scout leader. I do b° lieve that this availability is important in terms of conveying, both in and out out of the lecture room, the subject and its relevancy. The professor provides a bridge of understanding, and as stern but human critic, not a simple printed deficiency report, he relates to the student to the university and its ideals. He personifies it in his human­ ity, he is a human link to the academic community. However, circumstances have removed him or have dulled his image. If we look at the raw statistics, we note that he is there, but yet not there. In looking over some pertinent data during the past several weeks, I found my fears somewhat confirmed. The following material is from “Fact Book On Higher Education” by The Ameri­ can Council On Education, 1967. The following statistics apply to higher ed­ ucation in the United States. They compare the academic year 1953-54 with the academic year 196364; it is noted over this period of a decade, that the total faculty for resi­ dent instruction in degree credit courses increased from 208,547 in 1953-54, to 358,153 in the 1963-64 school year. However, this 150,000 in­ crease conceals the fact that the junior instruction staff, teaching assistants, increased from 26,519 in 1953-54 to 52,694 in 1963-64. When we look at these statistics pre­ sented in a slightly different way, we observe that if we view faculty for degree credit courses as part of the total faculty, which apparently in­ cludes deans, administrators, faculty for non-degree credit courses, exten­ sion staffs and professional library staff, we find that part of the faculty for degree credit courses, instructor or above, has fallen from 60.1% in 195354 to 54.8% of total designated facul­ ties in 1963-64. The junior instructional staff has increased from 8.8% to 9.5 % of what is designated as faculty. During approximately the same in­ terval, enrollment in undergraduate courses increased from 2,418,000 >n 1955, to 4,945,000 in 1905. However, graduate enrollment increased fr°m 242,000 in 1955 to 582,000 in 1905. an increase of approximately 140%. might be noted that graduate students demand a higher faculty-student ratio. To summarize these findings, we see that faculty increased about .70% in a period of a decade, while enrollment has more than doubled. It is also shown that the use of graduate assist­ ants had doubled while that part of the designated faculty meeting degree classes face to face, had decreased from approximately 60% to 55%. What is indicated by these statistics is made even more apparent by the New York Times in reporting the im­ pact of the new selective service pro­ visions on graduate students. They are, of course, the source of the teaching assistants who meet undergraduate classes. The importance of the teach­ ing assistant at the University of Illi­ nois, which is a somewhat typical large university, is contained in the following excerpts from the report on the impact of the draft on graduate students. I quote: “As college enrollments have swelled in this country and more and more of these bedroom towers have sprung from campus soils, the T.A. has taken his part as an absolute essential in the beginning process of freshman rhetoric, elementary math, chemistry, physics, biology, and lab­ oratory and quiz sections in the so­ cial sciences, economics and the humanities.” Professor William A. Ferguson of the University of Illinois, who directs the freshman math program, is quoted as follows, “Do you realize that this uni­ versity could well be put in a position of not being able to teach new fresh­ men the very courses we require of them?” He notes that the problem is compounded in the following: “The university is now talking in terms of increasing the freshman class from 5,200 to 5,700 to make up for enrollment lost by drafted graduate students. That means fewer T.A.’s to teach more un­ dergraduates." Finally, the article gives insight in terms of numbers, 60 teach­ ing assistants in the freshman math program, 150 in the freshman rhetoric program, and so on. Let me point out at this time that no one has greater sympathy for this in­ dividual who works so hard and ranks so low in the teaching hierarchy. I re­ member my own years of apprentice­ ship at this task. I submit that this young teaching assistant, harried by his own course demands, everlasting­ ly concerned with money and perhaps a growing family problem, will have little time to devote to the student’s problems or the relevancy of the course outside of class. It would ap­ pear that the teaching assistant, who is typically little older than the students, is no substitute for the professor. course I believe in research, I think the scholar should publish. I believe that the instructor should finish the require­ ments for his terminal degree, and fi­ nally, I would support the use of teach­ ing and research assistants. I do think that we should be aware of changing developments and trends and possible consequences. Is the future black? Not completely.

Perkus - Assistant Professor of English The Meaning of Student Dissent ment of the two party system within our federal government insures the dissent of the minority party, which ideally should continue to challenge the opinions and acts of the majority party so as to force that party to jus­ tify its policies to the people, or to change them if they are unjust. Traditionally, the word “dissent" has meant the disagreement in word or act by a minority with the opinion or action of a majority. Dissent has a long and honorable past. Socrates, as well as being the first great philos­ opher of the western world, was also its first great dissenter. When the an­ cient Greek city-state of Athens con­ demned Socrates for refusing to stop exposing the hypocrisy of its leaders through close questioning, he laid down the principle that in matters of morality, of good and evil, or right and wrong, the opinion of the majority was not necessarily right. If nine men out of ten believe that it is right to torture a suspected criminal until he con­ fesses, and one man believes it is wrong, that one man should have the freedom to express his conviction, based on moral principle, even though he is in the minority. h In the Middle Ages, dissent was mainly of a religious nature, and, as we 1know, heresy from the established church was generally punished with burning at the stake. Yet we must not forget that our own country was founded largely by dissenters, by groups who sought freedom to practice religions that dissented from those of the Established Church. We must also never 'forget. that the American _ Rev­ olution began as the dissent of a small minority against the unjust laws of the majority. Furthermore, the develop- paqi* 114 In a democracy, the individual has the right and responsibility to express his assent or dissent with its leaders and po]icies directly through the power of the ballot. However, the im­ pact of an individual citizen on his government decreases as the govern­ ment increases in size and power, be­ comes more centralized and more bu­ reaucratic, and regulates increasingly more of the individual’s life. As the individual grows further away from the power source, it becomes more difficult for any single man or minority of men to have any real impact on the decision-making which affects their fives. Individuals and minorities may come to feel frustrated at the apparent hopelessness of exercising dissent through traditional means of dissent such as the voice, the ballot, petitions, etc. When this happens, they often feel impelled to give their dissent meaning through dramatizing it by per­ forming a symbolic act, which may purposely break the law of the gov­ ernment. Henry David Thoreau formulated and put into practice this type of dis­ sent which he called Civil Disobe­ dience. In Civil Disobedience an in­ dividual or iminority ’ y purposely _ uand publicly refuses to obey a* law of the state because they believe that to obey that law would make one d; o,' disobey a higher law, that of individual -1 moral conscience. Thoreau himself went to jail because he refused to pay a tax which he knew would be used to sup­ port what he considered to be a very unjust war, the Mexican War. Thoreau championed Civil Disobedience, not only because he believed that it al­ lowed the individual a meaningful way to dissent from the acts of the majority, but also because he firmly believed that if enough citizens took the direct action of publicly refusing to obey an unjust law, society might become disrupted to such an extent that the majority would feel impelled to change the law, Mahatma Gandi’s successful use of passive resistance in India, and today’s Civil Rights, AntiWar, and Student Power movements share basic principles, methods, and goals with Thoreau's Civil Disobe­ dience. They all look upon “dissent” as meaning not mere disagreement with the so-called will of the majority, but as meaning active opposition to the laws, policies and actions which they deem to be unjust and to have been perpetrated by a bureaucratic power-structure which continues to make decisions bearing little relevance to the real needs and interests of sig­ nificant segments of society. In every case, dissent is intended to force the power structure to bring about desired change as rapidly as possible. Much has been written lately about the autonomy of the huge power blocks within the federal government, the big corporation and the large uni­ versity. Dr. Seymour Melman, for in­ stance, author of the book, Our De­ pleted Society, in speaking at Wilkes recently, stressed the unbelieveable degree to which the federal govern­ ment today seems to have lost contact with the real needs of the people through over-emphasis on military pri­ orities, If a large segment of the pop­ ulace, for example, the Negroes, feels that the government is ignoring their real needs for the sake of priorities which seem irrelevant to their lives, the inevitable result will be increased anxiety and despair as well as the in­ creased possibility of violent dissent. Like the power structure in the fed­ eral government, the power structure in the large university has become modeled after the corporation. It typ­ ically has a board of trustees and ad­ ministration that too frequently neg­ lect the real priorities of its main con­ stituency — the student body, which does not even have the power of the ballot to influence change. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College, declares that: The universities have become cor­ porations for producing, transmit­ ting, and marketing knowledge, and in doing so have lost their intellec­ tual and moral identity. At the time that they should have been creative centers for the development of strategies for peace, disarmament, and world unity, they were busy with Defense Department contracts. and who feel that the university power structure is denying them a democratic voice in formulating external and in­ ternal policy actions, then feel they must resort to organized physical pro­ test, non-violent, such a boycotts, but more recently, violent protest in order to make their voices heard. President Taylor makes the case clear — it is clearly an ethical one: If the university and its present leadership fails to act, either to stop the war, to reform the archaic cur­ riculum, to grant legitimate student rights, to take its students seriously, to take a stand against racism and racial injustice, then what else can serious people do, students or any­ one else, than to move beyond acquiescence into protest and re­ sistance? sent may have failed. Thus the North­ western University occupation by Negro students of a building ceased after the administration agreed to ad­ mit a higher percentage of Negroes to the University, immediately. Columbia had to agree, after unprovoked and extensive police brutality to protesting students and faculty had outraged the neutral majority, to reconsider plans for the controversial gymnasium in the Negro recreation area. It also had to make a commitment to provide a new framework through which faculty and students could more effectively contribute to university decision-mak­ ing. Mr. Hechingen draws an instruc­ tive conclusion from the Columbia ex­ perience: It was a reminder that an unscrup­ ulous minority can disrupt, provoke, and destroy — especially if institu­ tions are vulnerable in their policies and deficient in their internal de­ mocracy. It is always conceivable that free institutions must, as a last resort, call the police. The crucial question is not . . . 'What else could Columbia do?’ The question is: ‘What should have been done long ago and, having been left undone, must be done now?' Of course when this protest and re­ sistance take on violent forms, as it has in recent weeks, most of us are appalled.

Of course, due to the much-publi­ cized violence on campuses in recent weeks, many a university and college president must be spending sleepless nights wondering, "When will it happen here?” When will activist students seize and occupy Weckesser Hall, let us say, right here at Wilkes, and make all sorts of excessive demands under the guise of "participatory democ­ racy?” Could such a thing happen here? Well, let me relieve you. I think not. I think it highly unlikely that vio­ lent protests will ever take the place of responsible dissent on this campus, and I base my opinion on some exten­ sive analysis of acts and statistics ap­ pearing in articles and books written in the last few years about the conditions which breed violent dissent and the type of student who participates in activist protest movements. Let me ____________ share my findings_____ with you at this time implicaand then let us analyze their ..... tions for dissent at Wilkes College. First, ive can note that the actual percentage of student activists among the total number of students in higher education is very small indeed, al­ though reports in the mass media would lead us to believe otherwise. Out of a total student population of 6 million, no more than 20,000 or about 3% belong to all so-called “new left" organizations, such as Students for a Democratic Society. At Columbia, the SDS group of about 200 which planned and led the uprising represented no more than 2% of the University's stu­ dent body. Furthermore, in a recent study published by the Educational Testing Service at Princeton, 74% of the Deans of Students from 849 insti­ tutions reported that they had no rad­ icals. Most of the remaining 26% re­ ported less than 5% radicals. Of most relevance to Wilkes, the study reports that “The smaller private and denom­ inational colleges . . . have seen no demonstrations, have no chapters of left-wing or civil rights groups, and their student bodies do not exhibit much political awareness.” Indeed, studies reported by Seymour Lipset and Philip Altbach reveal that violent student protests typically oc­ cur in large, urban universities, with large graduate schools and largely non­ local student bodies that live away from home in off-campus housing. Berkeley, Wisconsin, and Michigan clearly meet these specifications. Wilkes does not. In the larger univer­ sities like Berkeley, much greater pres­ sures weigh on faculty and graduate students, pressures which are frequently passed.1 on to students. Under­ graduates at such institutions often feel alienated. A 1966 national survey of Freshmen conducted by the Amer­ ican Council of Education revealed that “40% of the first-year students at public universities feel that they are like numbers in a book. The corres­ ponding percentage for private Univer­ sities was 20, while only 6% of fresh­ men at four-year private nonsectarian colleges [like Wilkes) felt the same way.” Clearly, at such latter colleges classes are smaller, student-faculty re................. lationshipss are closer, and a student does not have to go through 15 levels of bureaucracy in the power-structure in order to make a grievance heard. The President or Dean of a small college may not agree with the student or give him much satisfaction, but at least he can be easily reached. Furthermore, studies indicate that at the best small private institutions, while students may sympathize with their protesting brethren at the universities, they are too busy working for grades to get into graduate school or too busy pre­ paring for vocations to actually par­ ticipate in demonstrations. When we consider studies made of the family background of the typical student activist, our suspicions that Wilkes has very little reason for alarm are confirmed. One most striking find­ ing is that, contrary to what one might expect, student activists are not rebelling against the values of their parents. On the contrary, student ac­ tivism often represents identification with parental values. Typically, rad­ ical SDS students come from homes where the parents are liberal and sec­ ularly-oriented. As we know, the typ­ ical Wilkes students still come from homes where the parents are conser­ vative, and highly religiously-oriented. Furthermore, the parents of activists are generally intellectually-oriented and highly educated, with a high per- centage having gone to college and many with graduate degrees. In contrast, the typical Wilkes College student is a first generation college student. During the long years of „„ u_ economic deprivation in Wyoming Valley sy his parents considered themselves for. 1-J 1 S tunate to get a high school diploma Another characteristic of student activists is that they frequently come from relatively well-to-do-families. On the other hand, the relatively poorer homes tend to produce conservative students. Lower family income is con­ ducive to concentration on upward mobility and relative disinterest in pol­ itics. I hope that my analysis of the types of campus and student background that breed student activism has shown how unlikely it is that a student re­ volt like that which struck Berkeley or Columbia would happen here. The danger here, as at many smaller col­ leges, is not that there will be too much violent dissent, but that students may now be provided with too few op­ portunities to express responsible dis­ sent because administrators and fac­ ulty are unreasonably fearful that “stu­ dent power” will somehow infect the campus. Yet, if we are to perpetuate the best traditions of the “liberal arts college,” then we must safeguard for our students an atmosphere of toler­ ance and even of encouragement of responsible dissent in the sense of the word's original meaning, disagreement, within the total college community, and not merely in the classroom. We must keep constantly aware fhat to­ day’s students, even those like our own who would never resort to vio­ lence, are far more critically con­ cerned than their predecessors with having a voice in national issues such as Civil Rights and the Administration War Policy. Recent student participa­ tion in the presidential primary battles right here in Wyoming Valley, in April, showed conclusively how much responsibility, how much energy, how much innovation today’s Wilkes Col­ lege students are capable of when they are given a chance to participate re­ sponsibly in the democratic process. Students who disagreed with Pres­ ident Johnson’s Vietnam War policies did not burn their draft cards here, rather, they channeled their dissent constructively through actively work­ ing for a candidate, Senator McCarthy, who himself had the courage to dis­ sent vigorously from these policies within the framework of the democra­ tic process. This form of dissent was recognized as valid by citizens of our community, who responded warmly to the students and frequently comment­ ed on their dedication and maturity. It is only natural that these students would also be more concerned than their predecessors with having a voice in matters that affect them directly in the college community. In the large university environment the student leaders who feel denied such a voice may have a tendency to resort to vio­ lent dissent. In a smaller school such as Wilkes College, frustrated student leaders are much more likely to take another course, that of remaining silent, of "opting out” in a spirit of hopelessness, of concentrating instead on getting through their four years of course work and getting out as quick­ ly as possible. The choice seems clear. If Wilkes students are now showing signs of “waking up” to a direct con­ cern in the matters that vitally affect them, then we must now be ready to provide channels for their active par­ ticipation in these matters. In his 1965 annual Report, President Farley made some very pertinent com­ ments concerning the problem of stu­ dent unrest and the direction in which Wilkes College should move: Whenever college faculties or ad­ ministrations forget that the student is both the beginning and the end of education, a sense of isolation and frustration by the student is in­ evitable and unrest is the natural consequence. Although Wilkes is planning to ex­ pand its facilities and its services, you may be sure that we will en­ deavor to maintain a close rapport among students, faculty, and admin­ istration. To maintain and strengthen this rapport, we will strengthen ex­ isting lines of cooperation and, in addition, we will establish new channels of communication so that students, faculty, and administration may gain a greater sense of coopera­ tion. First and foremost we will, in the future as in the past, encourage responsible participation by both students and faculty in the mainten­ ance and improvement of intellec­ tual, moral, and social standards. It is important that the president emphasizes the college’s intent to "en­ courage responsible participation" by students in the areas that vitally af­ fect them. I am confident that the President includes in his definition of “responsible participation” not only the right to participate in formulating new college policies but also the right to dissent from administration policies without fear of reprisals, when that dissent is made responsibly and with the sincere attempt to improve the col­ lege through constructive criticism, whether that criticism is expressed in the classroom, in the office, or in stu­ dent publications or petitions. “High intellectual, moral and social stand­ ards" can only be maintained and im­ proved in an atmosphere that tolerates responsible dissent and encourages the clash of conflicting ideas. Committees on Development, Continu­ ing Education, Undergraduate Affairs, and Residence Operations. An important innovation at Penn is the University Forum, sometimes called the “super committee,” a group of 20 students and 20 faculty and ad­ ministration representatives, including the university president, provost and college deans. The Forum discusses, in an atmosphere of give and take, any topic of current issue. Recently it has ranged over Civil Disobedience, the adviser system and draft law changes. Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell, president of the University, speaks strongly in favor of the new developments. “We talk more to our students than most other schools,” he says. Thus, “We have a more coherent community than if you treat students as small sponges who sop up information.” Further, he points out, “It’s a great impetus to their careers, to their life together; they learn from one another as much as from the faculty. We now have a student-oriented administration. We hope they will learn from working together on social problems and will get practical experience in human nature at their own and different age levels.” Furthermore, he stressed, students now “get a sense of responsibility for their own rules and regulations for society and are glad to accept the rules because they help make them. That makes for a greater degree of conformity; if you don’t like the rules, you try to change them." The President also stressed in his comments the college’s intent to "strengthen existing lines of coopera­ tion" and to “establish new channels of communication” to foster a greater sense of cooperation among administration, faculty and students. This admirable intent to encourage “participatory democracy” on campus is gradually being fulfilled at Wilkes. I understand that recently a Student Life Committee was formed, including leaders of student government and several Deans. I know that the faculty has also been considering adding stu­ dent members to some of its commit­ tees. Many of us on the faculty hope that this will soon be accomplished.

The Student Power Movement and Organized Labor Dissent has become a way of life for the American college student. The issues of Vietnam, Civil Rights, and the McCarthy campaign have involved the passions and energies of students in massive numbers. But, I wish to limit my discussion to the area of dis­ sent known as the “student power movement." Students across the na­ tion are demanding not that their views merely be heard, but that they have an active voice in the policy­ setting, formerlj' the exclusive func­ tion of the university administration. Students demand a voice in deciding student and faculty dismissals, design of the curriculum and courses, social regulations, and student disciplinary matters. And their demand for a voice goes beyond those issues of concern only within the college community to issues of social significance. Students have championed such causes as get­ ting more scholarships for Negroes, ending discrimination in fraternities, and blocking the construction of a gymnasium in Harlem. But in each case they seek to erode the power of the administration to set policy with­ out influence or interference. This brings to mind that these goals are parallel to the traditional goals of labor unions in industry, to act as a check on the decision-making power of management and to gain an influ­ ence over the policy of the firm. The opposition to the student power movement centers about concern with the "proper” and "inalienable" rights and prerogatives of the administration. The right to decide college policy is seen as the exclusive right of the ad­ ministration, and it is argued that since the student’s attendance is wholly vol­ untary, he is free to leave the univer­ sity whenever he disagrees with its policies. It is significant that these ar­ guments are identical with the tra- ditional arguments offered by business management to oppose union en­ croachment on their prerogatives. In the early days of unionism, and to a lesser extent today, it was argued that the rights of management to make policy decisions for the firm were ab­ solute and that if a worker were dis­ satisfied he was free to leave the firm’s employ. Again, the attitudes involved in labor-management dealings closely resemble those which provide the set­ ting in which the student power move­ ment exists. I make no value judg­ ment here regarding these attitudes; I merely note that these attitudes do exist in both the labor case and the student power case and that here is a point of parallel between the two cases. That the nature of the defense is similar suggests that the nature of the threat may be similar, which sug­ gests that similar forces may be at work. Student demands and worker de­ mands bear close resemblance in many cases. Students demand a voice in passing on student dismissals for aca­ demic or disciplinary reasons. What is this but concern with job security? Workers seek to control the conditions under which they may be dismissed and students now seek identical pow­ er. Students demand a voice in deter­ mining such aspects of college life as dress codes, dormitory regulations, and other such issues. What is this but concern with working conditions? And students who claim that the de­ cisions of college administrators do not take into account the social needs of the day, as was the case in the Columbia dispute, are expressing the oft repeated conviction of labor unions that the decisions of managers have too wide a social impact to be the un­ checked power of one group. The anal­ ogy between student unrest and work­ er organization carries further. Management’s usual reaction to the threat of unionism is one of incredibil­ ity, born of a genuine feeling of pater­ nalism. They believe themselves and the firm to be better protectors of the worker’s interests, which they cannot see as different from their own, than any union. They cannot understand the worker's discontent. College ad­ ministrators today find equal shock in student unrest. They see their school as a "community of scholars" and they see themselves as protectors of the interests of the community as a whole. It is paternalism in both cases. Again, we find analogous attitudes in the fac­ tory and on the campus, and the sim­ ilar nature of dispute in both settings becomes apparent. Labor scholars have noted that unionism first arose among the skilled craftsmen, the elite of labor. The anal­ ogy holds, then, for the movement known as student power began on the campuses of the more affluent univer­ sities. This may seem a strange para­ dox with students as with workers, but it is just another similarity be­ tween the two situations which lead us to suspect similar forces involved. It will undoubtedly be pointed out that there is a fundamental difference between workers paid to work and students who pay money to be ed­ ucated. But, the element of money makes less difference than is apparent. All labor demands have not been wage-related. Non-wage concerns, such as working conditions, have been predominant. Students earn no wages, thus ask for no wage increases, but as I have indicated previously, they make demands which are the equiv­ alent of many union non-wage de­ mands. It may be pointed out that a college has no profits to protect, and that the administrators have no stockholders to answer to. It may be said that the settings are therefore not analogous. It is widely believed that the power of workers to inflict financial harm on the firm is the only force that can pro­ vide motivation for constructive labor­ management bargaining. But if stu­ dents hold no such economic power, what bludgeon can there be to induce realistic bargaining between adminis­ trators and students? Again, non-eco­ nomic factors enter the picture. A stu­ dent strike or demonstration can cost the school prestige, cost the adminis­ trators prestige, make faculty recruit­ ment and fund raising more difficult. Thus, each side has the power to hurt the other, there is much reason for wanting to avoid a strike, and the power relationships in the college turn out to be the same as those in the firm. The analogy still is valid. became divided into managers, who, faced with the threat of competition, were sometimes forced to cut wages or lay off in order to meet this new competition, and workers, whose for­ mer identity of interests with the em­ ployers was now lost as the icy breath of economic insecurity became felt.

The anal­ ogy is now complete. Group relation­ ships in the university parallel those in industry, and the stage is set for similar unrest and dissent. It is sig­ nificant that while many explain cam­ pus dissent by how this generation is different from previous ones, I find an answer in how they are similar to all generations of men, and in how they react the same when the same conditions are present. Fred M. Hechinger, writing in the New York Times, has dealt well with this new character of the university situation: Thus, on campus, the polariza­ tion grows worse. The trustees and the administration are seen as — and sometimes unhappily act out the role of — the reactionary establish­ ment. And the faculty, which also seeks greater freedoms, is often torn between its desire to go its own way, unhampered by odious admin­ istrative functions, and the respon­ sibility to channel youthful im­ patience into realism. What makes the universities so vulnerable is that neither the admin­ istrations nor the faculties, except in a crisis, have given priority to updating the universities’ govern­ mental structure. A distinguished scholar, Jaroslav Pelikan, professor of ecclesiastical history at Yale, said last week: ‘A convenient, if oversimplified, way to put (the malaise that turned at Col­ umbia) is that at most universities the president is a member of both the trustees and of the faculty, but that his principal role now is as executive secretary of the board rather than as first professor of the faculty. In such crises as those at Berkeley or Columbia, the manager­ ial mentality of such presidents can- pagp | 20 not make clear to students, profes­ sors and neighbors the distinctive nature of the university community. The president hides behind his vice presidents, who hide behind the deans, etc. in an infinite regression.’ Prof. Pelikan acknowledges that many' aspects of the university ad­ ministration are, and cannot help but be, similar to those of running a grocery chain. But, he warned, when it comes to the real mission of “scholarship cum service” the pri­ orities are so out of kilter that stu­ dents and faculty naturally feel that they must close ranks against the “entrepreneurs.” Professor Pelikan, while admitting that many aspects of running a univer­ sity are like running a grocery chain, indicates that he somehow blames the administrators for occupying the roles they do. But if the administration has become a bureaucracy and the pres­ ident has become “executive secretary of the board rather than . . . first pro­ fessor,” it is because of the social forces which have come to play upon the academic world, with all its strains and pressures — it is because of these social forces that the nature of col­ lege administration has changed and it has become removed from the rest of the academic community in func­ tions and in interests, not because of any conscious design on the part of the administrators. Like the employ­ ers of the age when new competition changed the setting of the workshop, the college administrator has been pushed into his role. Social forces often act independent of the men in­ volved. Change cannot be stopped. It does no good to decide whether the stu­ dents are wrong or whether the ad­ ministrators are wrong — it is signif­ icant only that both sides think they are right, and that both sides are wil­ ling to perform certain actions to up­ hold their views. A solution to the problem cannot be had by deciding which side is right; deciding that a problem should not exist does not make it go away. The best procedure, rather, is to accept its existence and to seek a way in which to live with it, and to seek such an answer inde­ pendent of our own value judgments. The university is now a business firm — a large one in many cases -— and it is now faced with the problems --3 with which every business firm must con­ tend. Unrest is new to the academic world. The business world has learned to cope with the clashing of view­ points — management and labor have devised machinery through which their differences may be resolved Management has accepted the right of workers to bargain and to have a role of power within the industrial community, and labor has become more willing to accept its responsibil­ ity to be responsible. I have shown that in demands and methods the student power movement resembles the labor movement. And I have shown that in attitudes and ac­ tions, the college administrators re­ semble business management. And I have shown that the power relation­ ships and group relationships on campus resemble those in the indus­ trial setting. When two problems re­ semble each other in so many ways, we can only assume that they are but two variations of the same problem, and that solutions to each may be found to be equally alike. The uni­ versity is new at this game, and is unfamiliar with the nature of the prob­ lem. But once it is realized that it is the same problem in a new setting, a rich field of experience becomes avail­ able to offer inspiration in the search for solutions.

In searching for this machinery the analogy to labor dispute must be carried beyond the point to which I have carried it, to the area of solutions. In closing, I wish to note that in the early days of unionism there were those who dispaired that the system could ever be preserved. But the threat seemed less frightening as its nature became understood and means for dealing with it became established. And the system was preserved and strengthened. In this case, the analogy between the labor movement and the student power movement offers en­ couragement that American higher ed­ ucation will survive and be strength­ ened in the future. 0 paqe|21 �GROTON, CONNECTICUT AREA WILMINGTON CHAPTER PHILADELPHIA-NORRISTOWN AREA A meeting was held at the Holiday Inn in Wilming­ ton, Delaware, on February 27. About eighteen alumni and guests were present. George Ralston, George Elliot Art Hoover, and Millie Gittens accompanied Sam Dav­ enport to Wilmington for this meeting. Howard Allen '60 and Howard Ennis '55 were acting chairmen of the meeting. Kay O’Donnell was asked to serve as secre­ tary for this chapter.

The following alumni and guests were present at this meeting: TRENTON CHAPTER Because of the number of Wilkes College graduates in the Groton area, a meeting was held there on May 20. It was a good attendance for a Monday evening meeting. John Chawalek and Ralph Rozelle had ap­ pointments in the Groton School District on Monday and they stayed over for the meeting of the alumni with Sam Davenport. As has been our custom, it was a social get-together in order to find out what is hap­ pening on Campus and to get to know the other alumni in the area. The Alumni here hope to get together again in the fall of the year on a weekend.

The northeastern area of this same region had scheduled a meeting for the end of May but was unable to obtain accommodations. The Morristown area chapter covers the western sec­ tion of northern New Jersey. J. Paul Thomas was in charge of the meeting. The alumni started to work out the details for their next meeting in early fall. This chapter was very active in the past and the alumni are looking forward to the coming meetings. Bill Tremayne, President of the Alumni Association, was present, as well as Al Groh, John Whitby, and Sam Davenport who drove in from Wilkes-Barre.

WILKES -A School of Achievenient November 16 — Lebanon Valley — H At a recent meeting of the Executive Committee of the Alumni Association two resolutions were unan­ imously adopted which we feel will significantly im­ prove our alumni programs. The first change involves the elimination of the annual business meeting from the Homecoming pro­ gram. We shall, of course, retain the Warm-up Party for Friday evening. The second change will expand the annual seminar to an alumni weekend with an expanded program. This weekend will fall about the first weekend in June — the weekend following commencement. The dorm­ itories will be made available for alumni and their spouses for the weekend. Class reunions will be held at this time starting with 1969. (Note: The 1968 re­ unions will still take place at Homecoming.) The an­ nual business meeting will be held in conjunction with the seminar program. Elections will be held for class officers of the reunion classes then meeting. Homecoming, as a consequence, will become essen­ tially a social weekend and the Seminar weekend ex­ panded. hopefully into a more inspiring experience. Your Executive Committee is most interested in re­ ceiving your comments and reactions to these pro­ posals. In addition, we would appreciate your specific thoughts with reference to any additional activity you would recommend be incorporated into any of the plans as outlined. Il is the hope of your Executive Committee that through the implementation of these new ideas, a new spirit and identification will result from the members of the Association. Each year our numbers increase substantially but the involvement of our individual members remains substantially constant. We are aiming to change this trend and seek your cooperation. paqu 23 �This three-part article appeared in the Pennsylvanian, in December 1967 and January ai February 1968. WHAT IS THE MISSION OF TODAY’S COLLEGES? Early History What is the role of an institution of higher learning in today's world? It would seem that all aspects of knowl­ edge have their institutional reflections in three missions for a college or uni­ versity: to acquire knowledge through research; to transmit knowledge through teaching; and to apply knowl­ edge through public service. There is neither the need nor the space to trace the emergence and development of these three missions over the past five hundred years. Suffice to say, we are today at the third mission. The ques­ tion is why did we get here, and what does this third role for the institution of higher learning involve? It seems to me that the earliest be­ ginnings of this mission go back to World War II and the period immed­ iately following. There were connec­ tions between strong schools of sci­ ence and engineering on the one hand and vigorous regional development on the other. And though nobody has yet defined just what those connections are, or measured their economic sig­ nificance, the circumstantial evidence is sufficient enough to cause many re­ gions to strive for the same kind of excellence that seems to be causing the prosperity around those strong schools. Other communities, recogniz­ ing that a gap existed between their technical schools and private industry, encouraged the development of insti­ tutes of applied research. It was felt that new industry would be attracted to a community where existed a bridge between the technical university's res­ ervoir of knowledge and the industrial community. Such was the conclusion in the “hard sciences." But few of the new institutes were very successful. Industrial or govern­ mental organizations which need the kind of aid provided by an established institute will go to that institute to get paqi! | 24 it, though the institute may be a thou­ sand miles away. It was also found that today most research-oriented in­ dustrial organizations have research and developmental capabilities of their own, hindering the growth of the ap­ plied-research institute as well as the regional economic growth that such an institute might simulate. It was during the period following the unsuccessful experience with re­ search parks and research institutes, that there began to appear a new answer: the Ph.D. The reasoning be­ hind the answer was that certain re­ gions — great “producers" of the Ph.D. — were growing faster than other re­ gions. As was found with the “research park” and "research institute,” the Ph.D. did not do justice to the problem. One cannot explain the growth of the Boston region simply by saying “Ph.D.” Nor can one explain the growth of Florida, which is a poor Ph.D. producer. And so it was found that there is more to the answer than simply: “Produce Ph.D.'s.” _____ ______ r____ .leaders __ __ beResolute metropolitan gan to scale downward their goals: comprehensive program of graduate and small schools of undergraduate engineering and science. Given ten years in which to develop these new capabilities, and given other neces­ sities, such as venturesome financial communities and that nebulous qual­ ity called “cultural environment,” an ambiguous community's chances of success would be quite good. As with the earlier mistakes in following too closely in the footsteps of the “brain centers of the nation, the leaders soon were faced with an eescalation of requirements. What is that "cultural environment?” Recruiters for communities were told the new technical people wanted galleries, opera, theater, museums, li­ braries, nice places to live, good schools for their children, good facil­ ities for themselves, a symphony orchestra, a couple of good chamber music groups, a good French Restau­ rant, opportunity to associate with first-rate scientists and engineers, ready access to beaches in summer and ski slopes in winter, and a work environment that would enable the fullest development of their intellec­ tual resources. What could the insti­ tutions of higher education do by way of fulfilling these demands? At the same time the knowledgeable leaders turned to the “hard sciences" and made appeals for more “art." The institutions in the big technological complexes such as MIT, Stanford, and Harvard began to reach out for new problems — not military problems, but problems of a changing society. There was a conviction among the profes­ sorial that in these institutions they _______ of should contribute to the. rebuilding our great cities, to the proper use and development of our water resources, to the solution of our transportation crisis, and so on. And whether one accepts or not that these are problems that lend themselves to academic scrutiny, the point is that many insti­ tutions began to step forward, eager for involvement, ready to accept the challenge, And so the “soft sciences” (social sciences) of a college or university be­ came involved following the footsteps of the "hard sciences” — community involvement. To recast the function of a college or university is to apply the knowledge within its halls through public service. New Role of Public Service Assuming then, that public service is a modern mission of institutions of higher learning, can the research and teaching resources of a college or uni­ versity be tapped to better understand and control our urban environment? Can any small college provide "urban agents" to deal with the complex prob­ lems of a whole region? How can the small college or large university ex­ tend itself out into the community? Specifically, what are the roles that an . to itself, or have assigned to it? Is it presently structured to assume urban commitments? Are there limits engagement in community conflict? to Can the universities and colleges that undertake these extension operations use the same system of academic re­ wards for staff as they use in so-called line departments? It should be stated at the outset that an institution's new function or re­ sponsibility in the community must be so adapted to its traditional functions of teaching and research that those same functions will be strengthened. It seems to me that one of the great contributions of the urban studies cen­ ter movement is the benefit which will accrue to the university itself from bringing together research, education, and extension. There may be a tend­ ency on the part of traditionalists in universities to look down their noses at extension as the "vulgarizing” of knowledge by taking it out to people who are not matriculated for degrees. But getting out into the community can be very invigorating for scholarship. It might even change the research agenda, to some extent, in the college halls. It may have an influence on what people feel is worthwhile to teach to undergraduates or graduate students in the classroom. Perhaps the “Mickey Mouse” research formerly conducted in academic halls needs some updating. Certainly the academ­ ician ought to do more than pontificate to his students about life, death, and immortality. There is a great deal to be learned from testing theories and tools in the world of action. Resistance to action only puts blinders on those who dwell in the academic halls. Education in a dynamic society must keep pace with social changes and new obliga­ tions. In many instances, the intellec­ tual structure has grown obsolete. Col­ lege professors must recognize the sim­ ple fact that their undergraduates must receive an intensified and broadened learning which will accurately reflect the realities of their generation. Millard E. Gladfelter, Temple Uni­ versity’s former President, recently stated that the urban university will be this half-century's distinctive crea­ ture of American high er education. He added that it will be so because this is the half-century during which our major attention is directed to the in- recon­ struction of cities. The liberal educa­ tion of today cannot be defined in terms of the needs met by the colonial college, the early land grant colleges, or even the small church-related col­ leges that dot America. This is not the place to debate whe­ ther or not the university should have a conscience to society and the ab­ solute necessity of having to solve problems in order to establish good public relations in its community. No matter how one looks at it, a univer­ sity is a disturbing and upsetting force in any community. Community growth is often accelerated by the presence of a college or university, which in it­ self employs a large number of people. A college creates a beehive of activity in the cultural arts and recreational activities, which result in attendant problems. Student cars cause traffic and parking problems. Rooming houses adjacent to campuses may not always meet regulations. The police have their problems with the pranks of a college student body. Universities erode the tax base of a city to the point where the city fathers live on borrowed money. The demands which universities make upon their imme­ diate environment may become dis­ integrating forces in the very areas in which the institutions may be located. Witness Chicago, Philadelphia, New York or any other large city with a city institution. College administrations today have, therefore, come to recognize that their institution must make a strong con­ tribution to the community. The old traditional point of view to disregard what was happening beyond the Uni­ versity property is being replaced by a broader recognition of the interrela­ tionship of the “gown with the town.” The challenges of today are partic­ ularly pointed to a college that has a mandate to serve the community. If "community,” once predominantly rural, has changed in location, ethnic composition, economic activity, and needs for services, a college must ac­ commodate accordingly if it wishes to remain a relevant and progressive force in that community. Although every college exists primarily to pro­ vide education and to sponsor re­ search, it is also a community institu­ tion bearing all the responsibilities this fact implies. Community affairs have an impact on any college even as the development of a college affects the community. What’s more, the 20th century uni­ versity or college in a metropolitan area cannot perform its contemporary function in the old-fashioned or tra­ ditional sense of sitting and waiting for the community to come to it for instruction or for light. It must, to use the common expression, “extend” it­ self and its capacities out into the community. It must find ways of send­ ing out the special knowledge, infor­ mation, capacities, and expertise that are assembled at the university into the marketplaces within the commu­ nity in which they can be used and transformed into action and policy by the agents who are really in the com­ munity itself. In reply to a question on the role the university should play in the de­ velopment of urban areas put by Sen­ ator Robert Kennedy before a United States subcommittee in August, 1966, Daniel P. Moynihan, Director, Joint Center for Urban Studies, Harvard and MIT, gave the following reply: “The land-grant universities in this country have made a big difference and a very clear marked and measur­ able difference in the productivity of American agriculture, in the farm ar­ rangements generally in the country, and in the social arrangements of the American countryside. “Now it is certainly possible that universities can concern and associate themselves with the same kind of problems in the urban areas where increasingly universities are located. I think while this service function is important, really the main thing that universities should do in this country is to call things as they see them. I think the function of universities is to seek knowledge, to identify problems, and to identify failures -— to solve them wherever they are encountered, and however it may offend the per­ sons involved. But the main point about universities is that they make independent judgments on the effects and the efficacies of public policies, and they ought to remain independent, even at the cost — if it comes to that -— of not involving themselves in the formation of public policies as much as some of us may like to think they ought to." The pace of social change is forcing page|25 �a reexamination of the definition of a university. A university must be func­ tional to its society and an activist in­ stitution in today’s world. If there is conflict and tension within the society as certain near-term and long-range objectives collide, then such conflict and tension also belong in the univer­ sity halls. Academic tradition cannot be utilized as a defense against change. The modern university or col­ lege is in serious trouble if it thinks that it can survive an isolated life as an island of excellence. Uncommitted to public service it is bound to gener­ ate destructive tensions throughout our society. Because the university is a pivotal social institution, the need to engage in problem solving activities is now. The ultimate purpose of the Insti­ tute of Regional Affairs in what was once a depressed area is to contribute to improving the quality' of regional life. It can be said the Institute has effectively established and maintained communications and working relation­ ships between Wilkes College and or­ ganizations and individuals serving the immediate community' and the region. In the last thirty years, Northeastern Pennsylvania communities experi­ enced a state of economic decline with corresponding high unemployment. Only' in very recent years has this re­ gion made any progress in economic development. These same communities which have gone through an economic transformation face drastic readjust­ ment to the stern realities and the de­ mands of an urbanizing society, not as acute as in larger metropolitan centers, but nevertheless, just as painful. The on-rushing transition from a relatively simple agrarian set of conditions to the highly technical and baffingly com­ plex conditions of urban life call for vigorous and alert response from local institutions, be they governmental, educational, economic, or social. Since its establishment in 1947, Wilkes Col­ lege has participated in every com­ munity effort towards economic and social development because its faculty leaders believed that the College’s ex­ pansion and development are inextric­ ably linked to the fortunes of the com­ munity and the region. Although the College does have im­ mediate financial responsibilities and long-range educational commitments to its academic programs, it has be- paijf! | 26 come increasingly aware of the fac that community affairs have an impact on the College as the development of the College affects the community. The mutual desire of town and gown to work with one another for the ad­ vantage of both is not only a demon­ stration of teamwork between higher education and the region, it is an edu­ cational venture into the field of adult extension education, wherein the Col­ lege is acting in the role of “urban agent.” The Institute of Regional Af­ fairs in attempting to create the “to­ morrows” from the “todays, for the region acts as an umbrella for the so­ cial sciences and represents the Col­ lege as “urban agent." Commitment There appears to be a growing real­ ization that responsiveness to the ur­ ban environment calls for total acrossthe-board commitment. An isolated college department devoted to urban affairs appears to have limited impact upon the college as a whole. A multi-purpose college organization which views regional and urban prob­ lems as belonging to no simple aca­ demic disciplines, but rather as a con­ temporary phenomenon spilling into many disciplines soon becomes a ne­ cessity. Its resources must include not only the College faculty in the social sciences — economics, education, psy­ chology, government, sociology — but also those experts in the region who can lend their talents to teaching, in­ formation, research, and consultation. Such an organization must be a cross section of the social sciences and Col­ lege administrative officials. Its crea­ tion must be the natural integration of all the activities in the social sciences. Steps must be taken to bring an in­ creasing number of the faculty in the social sciences into the ever-increasing activities of such an integrated organ­ ization. There is a possibility that many community organizations will want all types of action and research projects undertaken. It must be the aim of an "urban studies” center to serve as a vehicle to help make research and action programs on urban problems a process of continuing data collection and analysis rather than relying, as was the case so many times in the past, on issuance of sporadic and single-shot reports by individual ulty members. Only in this way can the "extension" approach be fully re. alized. Any organization that affects the total commitment of a college should be administratively independent of any of the academic departments. Its Director should report directly to the President of the institution. Such a structure must be deliberately de­ signed to emphasize the organization’s extension or extramural orientation, and also to prevent its staff from being captured by pressures for teaching man hours and traditional academic interests. Herein will lie the secret of its success. It should be responsible directly to the President because of its specific mission. Projects by members of the faculty may be undertaken for part-time or summer research. Re­ search and action programs can then serve to encourage originality with only general requirements that the work deal with problems of urbaniza­ tion. The commitment of Wilkes College in regional affairs has a long and satis­ fying history. The Institute of Municipal Govern­ ment formed in 1951 had as its funda­ mental purpose to guarantee the semiautonomous structure of American local government. Many innovations in local government in the northeast­ ern area had their beginnings in work­ shops and conferences sponsored by the Institute. A part of the plan for greater industrial harmony in Greater Wilkes-Barre includes a Labor-Man­ agement-Citizen’s Committee initiated through the Economics Department of Wilkes College. To establish a climate for industrial progress, and recogniz­ ing a special need of the industrial community, the College has pioneered a management training program under which special classes were organized for personnel in industry, commerce, and banking. In 1960, an Area Research Center was established on the campus to co­ ordinate the many economic studies that had been done prior to its estab­ lishment. In 1965, the Area Research Center was phased out and replaced by the Economic Development Council of Northeastern Pennsylvania, a broad­ based citizen organization for all of Northeast Pennsylvania. Quite a num­ ber of Wilkes College faculty and ad­ ministration members are active of- ficials of many social welfare organizatjons_ too numerous to mention. The commitment by the College in com­ munity affairs was duly recognized in I960 when the Ford Foundation fund­ ed several of these College activities. This financial support generated even more interest on the part of the Wilkes College faculty members to seek com­ munity involvement. The formation of the IRA in 1966 is intended as that multipurpose col­ lege organization that can act as an "urban” umbrella over the social sci­ ences. It is proof positive of the full across-the-board commitment on the part of the College. Its creation was nothing more than the natural integra­ tion of prior activities in which mem­ bers of the College staff and adminis­ tration have engaged for over 20 years. Just as some of the faculty have sought to work among community groups, so the community has sought out the many services that the Col­ lege could offer. It is no wonder then that the community at large in North­ eastern Pennsylvania has shared in the Institute's growth and has encouraged its development. The work of the In­ stitute of Regional Affairs can be viewed as an investment that has yielded ideas, techniques, and insights that a small liberal arts college may profitably examine as it ventures more deeply into complex community and area problems. Roles In emphasizing the modern mission of urban agents, there are a number of identifiable roles in which an institu­ tion of higher learning can appropri­ ately relate its skills to the community. FIRST. The function of special ed­ ucation would be the primary role. This is the more or less traditional type of extension activity, giving spe­ cial courses or institutes for particular groups in the community. The univer­ sity must, to some extent, talk not just to very small key groups, but to the arge community. It may mean con­ ducting policy seminars, workshops, and conferences. In such an instance, the college may seem like a mere con­ vener of groups. But it may be that merely by welcoming a group of peoP e —sometimes at their own request, sometimes with a slight hint from uni­ versity personnel — to a college camPus, many surprising innovative ideas can be imparted to rival and conflicting interest groups. SECOND. The college can act as a clearing house. This means bringing university and academic resources to the community through newsletters, pamphlets, or bulletins on a regular periodic basis. Library materials on urban research must not only be made available but must be brought to com­ munity leaders. THIRD. The attention of the func­ tion of consultant on specific problems will become important if related to the first and second roles discussed above. FOURTH. There may be demon­ stration experimental projects or re­ search projects on a small or very large dimension that university people can perform. Obviously, the research must be of an applied nature and tied to the need of finding a specific solu­ tion to a specific problem. In all of the activity that has been summarized, an overriding considera­ tion is the fact that any college or uni­ versity must be first and foremost a service organization providing a pro­ gram of training, consulting services, information, and research all inter­ twined and prompting specifically in­ telligent and capable public spirited leaders in facing the changing needs of today’s complex society. Involvement In the “soft” social sciences, to what degree are there serious hazards in getting involved when political figures, elected representatives, or profession­ als in public or quasi-public agencies asked faculty members to take respon­ sibility by the process of their getting involved? How deeply can the urban university or metropolitan college get involved in the decision-making pro­ cess in society? Another way of put­ ting it is: On whose back will the monkey rest when something goes sour from a decision which has involved the participation of the institution it­ self or that of its members on the fac­ ulty? It should be recognized at the outset that the nature of a given urban area, the structure of the college, the disciplines of its staff, the philosophy of its president—all color the involve­ ment and that outcome of the involve­ ment in community affairs. The element of danger arises from the involvement because in urban ac­ tivities and conflicts one rarely knows what is going to be the basis of com­ munity disagreement until after the de­ cision to get involved has been made. One thing for faculty members to re­ member is that the university is not the policy-making area of society, the mere providing of information in­ volves risks. There isn’t any use pre­ tending that it doesn’t. And just how far a university-based person or agen­ cy can afford to go will depend to some extent upon the individual’s or the agency’s own capacity to play the role of politician. The emancipation of our generation from immature dependence on past re­ ligious and intellectual authority has forced people to think for themselves. We live in a time of disestablishmentarianism in all fields, and particularly in the social science area. It is an un­ founded naive piety and certainly mis­ directed effort to establish a new church in the name of a company of scholars who are to deal with political, social, and economic problems of a community. Certainly today's colleges and universities seem unlikely can­ didates for any' new sacred mantle. In the field of social problems, an urban studies center cannot be a “court of last resort" established in self perpet­ uating ivy towers. It seems to me that an urban uni­ versity can meet several distinguish­ able situations easily and without too much difficulty. The first is when peo­ ple are genuinely' fundamentally in disagreement over goals. This is def­ initely the political arena. Unless the faculty member can stand the “heat,” he had better not get into it. The sec­ ond is when people agree on goals but disagree on instruments or methods to attain the goals. This area is also a political thicket. The word is beware. The third situation is w’hen community' groups are in agreement on goals and methods, but they’ simply' do not have all the desired information for decision making. The operations of an urban center can safely be predicated on the third situation wherein the task is the simple one of providing information. The difficulty arises because college people do not have a crystal ball and therefore cannot anticipate which of the three situations will predominate until commitment to action has already been made. The most creative function of a uni­ versity is to nurture the environment paiju 27 �__ of If the foregoing is the state of things, tion and management, and a 1host better that the urban college limit it­ other challenging areas.

There are agents in our urban society who are in the policy making arena. The task of the urban college is to find them and re­ late to them. The risk taking will be minimal if the environment is properly nurtured and if identification with ex­ isting agents is made. If, on the other hand, risk taking professionals must continually' operate at the intersection of public and private actions to facili­ tate the nurturing process, then a reevaluation of the college’s educational role becomes critically important. He broke a College record against Ursinus College when he gathered in a punt at his own four and galloped to paydirt 96 yards away. Wiendl’s pass theory was aptly demonstrated in the PMC encounter when he intercepted two Cadet passes and took both for scores. One covered 90 yards, another College record, and the other for 55 yards. Wilkes’ "Mr. Everything” also holds the College's season record for punt return yardage. Joe's post-season honors list: a second-team selection at a safety position on the 1967 American Football Coaches Association, College Division, All-American Team; a sec­ ond-team selection to AP All-State Team; and a first-team choice on the All-Middle-Atlantic Conference Team. Joe was also honored when he was chosen “Outstanding Opponent” by Drexel Tech’s Varsity Club for his per­ formance in the Colonels' 13-3 victory over the Dragons. record and 10-3 MAC log. During this streak Wiendl went into a 10-16 bat­ ting streak and served as the team’s offensive leader. With his 12 stolen bases, the junior should be near the top of the nation’s standings in that category, too. The 1967-68 story now ends for Joe Wiendl; however, next year he will serve as a captain of the wrestling squad and also as one of the tri-captains on the gridiron. A proven and capable leader, he has commanded the respect and admiration of all who have had the opportunity to meet him. At Wilkes College Joe Wiendl stands out as a man.

This is less than we expected and after the loss of the usual five that come out for a look we were down to the bare minimum. We had the smallest group of freshmen we have had for the last four years. Since we had a few weights to fill in this year we had to depend on the fresh­ men to do the job. Fortunately three of them stepped in and did a com­ mendable job. Wilkes College WRESTLING COLONELS 1967*1968 Our first competition was a scrim­ mage at Princeton. Princeton won the Ivy League Championship last year and had most of their boys back for this year. We were very pleased with our performance as we won 70% of all the bouts we wrestled. Millersville was next 28 to 3. Then came our big rival, Lycoming, in our big home meet and we wrestled very well, winning 28 to 5. We then made a trip to New England and wrestled the University of Connecticut on Friday night, winning 44 to 2, and on Sat­ urday afternoon we wrestled Univer­ sity of Massachusetts, winning 51 to 0. The following Wednesday we wrestled our toughest opponent, East Stroudsburg, and although the bouts were close we lost by a big margin, 9 to 20. We finished up with Ithaca, winning 30 to 3. This was the last meet of the season and we got ready for the Mid­ dle Atlantic Tournament at Lebanon Valley College. I figured it to be a three-team tour­ nament (Temple, West Chester and Wilkes) with the team that got the breaks winning it.

Rainey displayed ingenuity and’" imagination and virtually over­ whelmed most of his taller opponents. Game after game, the dwarfted Colonels were forced to battle back m an attempt to gain victory. Rainey’s strategy was fundamental: es­ tablish a tight 1-2-2 zone defense, utilize the entire squad, and RUN. The plan proved successful as the self-disciplined and conditioned Colonels knocked 12 opponents to the wayside. 1967-68 COLONELS BASKETBALL TEAM 1st row Ken Miller, Billy Grick. Jay Reimel, Bo Ryan, Wally Umbach, Carl Cook, and Phil Howe. R^h r^a'ney' coach; Jim Smith, captain; Fred Bauer, Herb Kemp, Rich Davis, Bob Ockenfuss, Bill Klaips, Dave Silberman, and Rich Delvino. Sophomore forward, Herb Kemp was the team statistical leader in most depart­ ments but a superb team effort was .re­ sponsible for most of the victories. Kemp enjoyed a banner season as the 6’3” na­ tive of Glenside, Pennsylvania was af­ forded the following honors: named to a first team forward position on the sea­ sonal Eastern Collegiate Athletic Confer­ ence All-East squad; given an honorable mention in AI1-MAC balloting; ranked among the top ten rebounders in the na­ tion with an 18.8 average (college divi­ sion); and also ranked first in the MAC in rebounds with a 19.2 average. Bob Ockenfuss, showing vast improvement from his freshman season, finished sec­ ond in both the scoring and rebounding derbies with marks of 335 and 251 re­ spectively. Guards Bo Ryan and Bill Grick were the only other Colonels to tally more than 200 points. Grick teamed up with Jay Reimel (former high school team­ mates at Montrose) to lead the Colonels floor game by piling up a combined total of 306 assists. The "dynamic duo” was devastating on defense and forced count­ less opponent turnovers that resulted in ea^y Colonel baskets. Captain Jim Smith suffered an ankle injury early in the seasonn and — was used sparingly. Rich Davis, 6 6 center, and Wally Umbach, 5'11” guard, proved invaluable as reserves in their freshman seasons. The Elizabethtown Blue Jays, with two ?Gn towering over the 6'10” mark, oforeu the Colonels stiff competition in the season’s lid-lifter. The mighty Jays Wore humbled 02-75 ’* 32-73 as Kemp (23 pts.) and page 32 Ryan (21 pts.) led the onslaught Tl The visitors from E-town could not adjust t to the Colonels’ “go-go” offense. The Colonels had their "cloud nine" knocked right out from under them as hey dropped their next four contests. Ithaca trounced the Wilkesmen 83-52 completely dominating both boards; Lvcoming whipped the local eagers 86-77 as captain Jim Smith severely injured his ankle; Madison-FDU overwhelmed the Colonels 96-77; and Philadelphia Phar­ macy surprised the squad in Philly, 70-63. The December 14 clash with the Uni­ versity of Scranton proved to be the turn­ ing point of the entire season as the Colonels rallied their forces and con­ quered the mighty Royals in convincing style, 93-83. The host team outrebounded the taller visitors from up north 53-27. The offense began to jell as four men hit double figures in a well-rounded attack: Grick (29), Ryan (21), Ockenfuss (17), and Kemp (16). The upset provided the Colonels with their first victory over Scranton in eight years. Drew University invaded Wilkes-Barre during the Christmas holidays and were handily defeated 110-61 in a Colonel romp. The fans noticed an air of confi­ dence and a sense of pride as the Colonels displayed a sound defense and an electrifying offense. During the Christmas vacation, the eagers journeyed to Wilmington, Dela­ ware to participate in the first annual St. Edmond’s Holiday Tournament. Other squads seeing action were: Kutztown State College, Pennsylvania Military Col­ lege, and Drexel Tech. Drexel loomed as the tourney favorites as the Colonels were given no consideration at all. In opening action, the Dragons defeated Kutztown in an overtime thriller, 64-62. The Colonels rallied from a four-point half time deficit to emerge triumphant over PMC 63-50. The championship stage was set — the undefeated Dragons of Drexel were pitted against an upstart midget crew from Northern Pennsylvania. Sam Cozen’s crew had to exert all the energy possible as they won in an over­ time squeaker, 69-68. All was not lost, however, when Bill Grick was named the tourney’s outstand­ ing player. The 5’10” speed merchant scored a total of 16 points in the two day affair, but was instrumental in the Colo­ nels pressing game, handing off for nu­ merous assists. It was later announced that Grick, Ryan, and Ockertfuss were named to the all-tourney squad. The Colonels opened their 1968 edition of the hoop sport with impressive MA victories over Albright, 80-69, and Leba­ non Valley, 71-70. The local squad re­ ceived a shock at Harpur a few days later when they dropped an 82-78 decision to the up-state New York School. ‘ s were next The Delaware Valley Aggies Wilkesmen — a game qu the V» ****»•“-— ’s agenda — which involved the number one and num­ ber two teams in the MAG’s Northern Division. The game proved to be a nipan-tuck affair as the lead exchanged hands 17 times. When Herb Kemp sank a field goal with eleven seconds on the clock, the Colonels held an 80-79 edge and an apparent victory. Ken McEntee dribbled the ball to half court and let loose with a desperation heave as the buzzer sounded. At that same moment, official Phil Walsh noticed a Colonel in­ fraction and assessed the home team with a technical foul. With no time showing on the clock, Aggie Tom Wetzel stepped to the charity stripe in an effort to knot the score. The Freshman’s conversion at­ tempt fell short and the Colonels were en­ trenched in first place with a 6-1 record. The Wilkes winning streak was ex­ tended to three games with victories over arch-rival East Stroudsburg State, 96-90, and Rutgers of South Jersey, 88-76. The Colonels’ victory express was derailed at Juniata where the upset-minded Indians knocked Rainey’s crew into second place with a 74-72 win. Lycoming rang up win number two over the Colonels when they annihilated the eagers, 95-69 in Billport. The Wilkesmen racked up win number seven and broke their two game losing streak, by conquering the Vikings of Up­ sala, 69-60. The high flying Seahawks of Wagner College invaded Wilkes-Barre two nights later and thumped the locals, 97-76. The Colonels next faced the Mora­ vian Greyhounds in what amounted to a “must victory." However, the home court advantage and a hot scoring hand by senior Tom Bonstein propelled the Grey­ hounds to an 88-76 victory. "Rainey’s Raiders” took to the road again and surprised the Crusaders of Susquehanna university, 100-90. Arch­ rival Scranton now posed the lone ob­ stacle to a playoff bid, for Raniey’s crew. Nat Volpe’s squad, playing a slow* down game, held the Colonels scoreless for seven minutes and 30 seconds and walked off with a 62-59 victory. The gallant Colonels returned to their home grounds where they would ring down the curtain on a brilliant, but dis­ appointing note by hosting the Red Devils from Dickinson College. Rainey gave his freshmen the opportunity to display their wares as Wally Umbach, Rich Davis, Billy Grick, and Jay Reimel joined Herb Kemp in the starting line-up. The ingenious move paid dividends as the hustling Colo­ nels breezed to an easy 96-84 victory.

These words, “For Want of Necessity,” were written i by myse!f an English paper about -1-—‘ one of my favorite heroes - J SDeak EngniishDpVldf Th°reaU' And because English professor, Dr. Frank Davies, page | 4 money was needed. - - So - Thoreau ,by ,his . own admission did not go to Walden Pond to live cheaply, for Thoreau y purpose in 8°ing to Walden Pond was not to live cheaply' nor to live dearly there, but to transact S°me private business with the fewest obstacles; to be hindered from accomP'iSh'n8 "'hiCh f°r Want of a Iittle common sense, a little enterprise and busi­ ness talent, appeared not so sad as foolish." Now the sad thing about Thoreau these days is not that he is neglected. But the sad thing, in my' opinion, is that there are many' supposed imitators of Thoreau who have completely' missed his message. For in reality the modern day hippie movement does not represent Thor­ eau’s thinking but rather represents the thinking of a group of people in an earlier age. For the hippies closer to the Cynics who ar? 'nuch early Greece than they are trj Thahit6d For these Cynics, accoTdina h,7 ,°reau-- according scholar, W. W. Capes, "would ° the life to its barest element*-- u. rerJuce , ’ theV ?gave up their property to live mJ? ave nUpon the beg. gar's dole; they were content , 7/ scantiest clothing; they would i-' b the with house or bed and stretch Pkn3e selves to sleep upon the stones in some convenient tub- th . °r even plainest diet and proposed i-vp*? !hf! pense with the help of fin. . dla" all their food uncooked; thnv the ties of family as artificial- m.dTt regarded all governments asy of fortune." So believe,! H,,. Cynics. '"Wlent And that is precisely what most of the modern day hippies practice and preach, if the reports I have been ri I ing are correct. But in these b>-|,',.f' there are at least two areas where dll ferences with Thoreau arise. In th, first piece Henry Thoreau believed In individual responsibility. Thoreau did not enter the wilderness at Walden Pond to live upon the "beggar's dole." He might have lived simply ami pl.,jn. ly, but he took care of himself. He did not become a burden on society, nor did he expect someone else to lake care of him for the rest of his life. And there is a second and very im­ portant area of difference especially to one who is a preacher in this age — and that difference is reverence. The Cynics and their modern counterpart , tend to be an irreverent lot. Since they (the Cynics) had no respect for their own property, they had little respect for the property of others. And since they (the Hippies) have little or no respect for anything, they have little respect for the things of God. Now Thoreau might not have been a re­ ligious man in the traditional sense. But he was a deeply religious man in his over-all practices. /And a story to < about Thoreau serves as an illustration of this point. For according to t is story while Thoreau was on his deatheat leighbor if bed, he was asked by a neighbor it he had made his peace with Go . which Thoreau reportedly replied, never quarreled.” And Thoreau had some devastating things o . about the people who Pre®ume' n’t. they were religious but realty ' For Thoreau once wrote a ou . book t(i-• e-• risy: “I know of no book Bible) that has so few readers." And then Thoreau cites several of the fam­ iliar passages from the Bible: "For what does it profit a man. if he shall gain the whole world and lose his soul?" "Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" "And if Thou wilt be perfect, go and sell what you have and give it to the poor and you will have treasures in heaven." And after quoting these verses from the Bible. Thoreau then declares: "Think of this. Yankees These words were never read They were never heard. Let but one of these sentences be rigidly read from any pulpit in the land mid there would not be left one stone of that meeting lions,- upon another." You see, Thoreau had reverence for God mid for religion no matter who >e religion It wan. And that Is what sep­ arates Thoreau from the Hippie mowmont; ami. in fact, this in what sepnrale-i Thoreau from the whole Amer­ ican culture For the Hippies are not alone in their misuse, or at least, abuse, of religion All of America is sadly lacking in th,- understanding and prac­ tice of religion And I would argue this evening that if Dr. Paul Tillich is cor­ rect in lii-i definition of religion, then religion in America Is dead. For Dr. Tillich in his last book before his death defined religion as being grasp-1 by an ultimate concern And if his definition of religion is correct, and I believe his definition is correct, then I proclaim to you this evenin'.; that re­ ligion in the United States of /America in the year of our Lord 1968 is dead Now don't misunderstand me I am not a part of the God-Is-Dead Move­ ment. 1 believe that God is very much alive. Hut I equally believe that re­ ligion — that is. a concern for God in men, or man being grasped by an ulti­ mate concern — is dead. Perhaps this death of religion in 1968 is not the first time that this has happened in our world. For religion must have been in a sorry state of af­ fairs in the 1800's also. For at the very same time that Henry Thoreau was lamenting the lack of religion in Amer­ ica, there was on the continent of Europe a Danish philosopher by the name of Kierkegaard who was lament­ ing the lack of religion in his part of the world. Kierkegaard reportedly not only lamented the sad state of religion in the pews of the churches but even in the pulpits. For Kierkegaard once declared that if the government de­ creed that the moon was made of green cheese, then all the preachers in the land would declare it from their pulpits. And once again we see the religion of a nation in a sorry disarray. Now I know there are some who are very happy over this death of religion, much the same as those who lead the GodIs-Dead movement proclaim their hap­ piness over the reported death of God. But let those who rejoice over the sorry stale of religion in the 1 mill's remember that the sorry state of religion in the 111.ID's and 1II5O'h was followed by the sorry stale of the whole nation in the tlltiO's. And the best answer to this death of religion in our American society is found in tile writings of Thoreau and in the title of lids address. For Thoreau also wtote "Men have come to such a pass that they frequently starve, not for want of net e isarieii, but for want of luxuries Or if I may paraphrase Thoreau's words: Men uro flint losing their concept of religion, mid yes their very .oiib. not fur want of nocminlly, but for their Intense hunger mid den p--r.it*- yearning for the iimidl, Incon .-• jucnli d tiling', of life. Ami jn-il look about you and view llm mud rush for ■ , . d standing, llm craving for .mu',, the iii'iallulile de ...■•• t < e,quire more and more power and wealth. And then you will come Io r dize that what was true in Thoreau's lime is equally true in our lime: that men starve not for want of necessity, but for want of luxury. Now perhaps the recent reports com ing to us about starvation in these United States of America are correct. .And perhaps as the- reports indicate there are people actually starving for the basic necessity of life for food — even in our own country. And if there are 10 million Americans who are starving for food in our country this very night, then I will predict that there are nearly 190,000 million Amer­ icans who are starving for luxuries. Now some of you might argue that this idea is foolish — that there are some Americans who have everything. But I would argue that even those Americans who have the financial power to buy nearly everything under the sun are still starving for luxuries, whether it be social power or political power or even religious power. (Do not forget even though religion might be dead, religious organizations are still alive and active.) And all we need do is to read the newspapers and mag­ azines to see the struggles going on for power in the fields 1 just men­ tioned. We have not learned the lesson of the wise man in the woods at Walden Pood who warned us of the dangers of this world over a century ago. And the best advice that 1 can give to you this evening as you finish one part of your lite and set out into other areas of life is found in tin- words of Thor­ eau: "(Men) me employed . . . laying up trc.isuies which moth mid rust will corrupt and thieves break through mid .1,- , I. It la a fool's life, mi they will find when they get to the end ol it, il not before; (For Men) ftequenlly starve, not for want of . ...... a.aiic'i, but lor want of luxuries." 3hi iilcmoriam GEORGE A DUSSINGFR '65 George A Duooinger '65, of Schwenks villa, Pennsylvania, died suddenly on June 21, 196?

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS WILKES COLLEGE HIGHER EDUCATION IN AN URBAN SOCIETY PAUL R. ANDERSON President, Temple University One of the most spectacular develop­ ments affecting modern man is the great increase in world population. It was not until 1830 that the gross pop­ ulation of this planet reached the one billion mark. By 1930, just one century later, the second billion mark was reached. In just one generation later, by the early 1960's, the third billion level had come about, and if present rates of growth continue, the demo­ graphers expect that the four billion mark will be reached by about 1975. By the year 2000 it is anticipated that there will be some seven billion people on the face of the earth. If these staggering compound in­ creases in population were evenly dis­ tributed, perhaps our problems would not be as complex as they are. The fact is, however, that all predictions indicate that the agriculture-oriented populations are destined to diminish in size and the vast majority of these new people will cluster in urban areas, as they are already tending to do. Current population figures show that we are already adding to our urban areas, every year, the equivalent of be­ tween 25 and 30 new cities of 100,000 people apiece — and that is equal to the entire new city devlopment in the world for the last decade. The Pres­ ident put this very dramatically when he told Congress that “during the next 15 years, 30 million people will be ad­ ded to our cities — equivalent to the combined populations of New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Baltimore.” He added that in less than 40 years "we will have to build in our cities as much as all that we have built since the first colonist arrived on these shores. It is as if we had 40 years to rebuild the entire ur­ ban United States.” In the face of this rather overwhelm­ ing evidence of the tendency toward urbanization in the United States, it seems very clear that institutions of higher education, if they are to adapt to the times, must give increasing at­ tention to the effect an urban society has on the college or university — and the effect which the institution has, or should have, on the community. This is true whether the institution be a very large one in a sizable metropolitan area, such as Temple University, or a smaller one in a relatively smaller ur­ ban area, such as Wilkes College. A review of the efforts which our two institutions have made to adapt to our respective urban areas indicates a record of achievement about which we can both be proud. Both institutions have recognized that if they are to pro­ vide real educational leadership in an urban area, then “education’1 must be meaningful in the urban context. At Temple University, we have deliber­ ately sought to synchronize the efforts of our College of Education with those of the Philadelphia School District so that we can jointly improve the quality of education for students at all levels in the area. We have developed a pro­ gram known as Primesite which aims to respond to the severe problems of maintaining an adequate number of able teachers in the so-called disadvan­ taged schools in Philadelphia's inner city, Project Headstart Training Pro­ gram, a six-day initial training program for teachers new to the Project Head­ start nursery and kindergarten classes held in Philadelphia and surrounding school systems, preparing 200 such teachers annually, an Upward Bound program through which 175 Philadel­ phia high school students spend the summer before senior year living in Temple's dormitories and attending classes and cultural events on campus and in the city (the aim of the program being to raise the youngsters’ sights to post-high school study], Temple Op­ ........................................... portunity Program, designed to recruit able students and provide financial as­ sistance, counseling and tutoring to those admitted to the University. Your own institution has sought to make “education" more meaningful in Northeastern Pennsylvania by estab­ lishing an Institute of Regional Affairs which provides a broad range of courses, seminars, conferences, and studies relating to urban affairs for the municipalities of your area. Your in­ service training courses for local gov­ ernment officials have been extremely useful to the more than 2200 persons who have completed the courses over a sixteen year period. Every analyst of our “urban crisis" places employment high on the list of problems which must be solved if we are to convert the “crisis" into oppor­ tunities for our urban residents. Rapid advance toward an increasingly technologically oriented society has created a widespread concern for the scarcity of adequately trained manpower. The federal government's Office of Eco- nomic Opportunity exists to address it­ self primarily to this problem, and through OEO, Temple University’s Center for Community Studies was given a contract to define immediate and long-range manpower concerns of the Office and to make appropriate recommendations. At Temple, itself, this particular responsibility consists of operations of varying scope, the most far-reaching of which is the Multi-Purpose Training Center Pro­ gram. Expressing accomplishments — not in the hundreds of people trained, the development of training tech­ niques, or the significant research done — but rather in simple human terms, the Center makes it possible for a man, now possessing an essential skill, to secure employment, to find satisfaction and worth in his life, and to contribute effectively to society. Your institution, too, has been alert to the importance of the employment problem. You sponsored a three-week, pre-service training institute for coun­ selors and administrative staff of the Keystone Job Corps Center, introduc­ ing the personnel of the newly created program to some of the many and varied kinds of sociological, psycho­ logical, and other problems that they might encounter in dealing with un­ employed youth. Your co-sponsorship of Annual Community Growth Con­ ferences where such topics as "Our Manpower Problem of Industrial Growth" have been discussed, are an­ other indication of Wilkes College's dedicated interest in the future of the urban area of which it is such an im­ portant part. The Health Sciences Center of Tem­ ple University — which comprises a hospital, medical, dental, pharmacy and nursing schools, as well as the College of Allied Health Professions — is located in an area where the oppor­ tunities for community service are tre­ mendous. The death rate of infants born alive in North Philadelphia is two to three times the national average. Perhaps a third of the mothers deliver­ ing these infants have received no pre­ natal care before the sixth month of pregnancy.

K' u_._ — I 13 7 �EAST EUROPE, January 1968, Vol. 17, No. 1 — Published by Free Europe, Inc.. 2 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10016 The Young Marx or the Old? by Stanko M. Vujica Chairman, Dept, of Philosophy ■& Religion Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pa. What did Marx really mean? This question, long a subject of debate in the West, is now openly discussed by scholars in east Europe. Yugoslav philosophers have been particularly energetic in searching for the answer. In the West, the explication of the texts of Karl Marx’s works has given rise to a veritable academic and polit­ ical industry. There has been a similar output in the Soviet Union and in east Europe, with the difference that com­ munist scholars were perforce limited to defending every Marxian viewpoint, and shied away from noting contradic­ tions in the Marxian canon. Within recent years, Marxist schol­ ars in east Europe have been some­ what less inhibited and have begun to publish studies of a more critical na­ ture. The process has been most ad­ vanced in Yugoslavia, where the phil­ osophical journal Praxis, published by the Croatian Philosophical Association in Zagreb, has opened its pages to a wide-ranging discussion of “socialist culture.” In 1965 Praxis published the papers delivered at the Korcula Sum­ mer Seminar on Marxism, and the de­ bate has since been continued in the Zagreb monthly and other journals. pagej14 "Is Socialism a phase or a phrase?" Underlying the debate and running through it like a red thread is the con­ frontation of two contrasting concepts of Marxism: the official version — upheld by those in power — and the humanistic, advocated by “freethinking” Marxist intellectuals, the most outspoken and radical of whom are loosely organized around Praxis. The confusion that is evident in all Marxist writing on culture goes back to the inconsistencies of the founders of the philosophy, particularly to the different, even contradictory, views expressed by the “early” and the “late" or “mature" Marx. The classic Marxist Weltanschauung, the ideological framework of the com­ munist movement from the time of Marx and Engels to Kosygin and Brezhnev, is based on such mature works of Marx and Engels as The Communist Manifesto, Das Kapital and Anti­ Duhring. The key doctrine of these works is dialectical materialism, which asserts the primacy of the material over the spiritual, of economics over ideology. Culture is seen as a “super­ structure,” a reflection and rationaliza­ tion of an economic "infrastructure." Economic man, man as producer and consumer of goods, is the focal point of Marx’s mature work. His criticism of capitalism is based on economic, not anthropological, premises. Capital­ ism is bad economics; it is inefficient and wasteful; it doesn’t work. In an age of complex technology, the old jungle law of private ownership of the means of production can only lead -to chaos, waste and ever ggreater pauperization of the working class. Capital­ ism is full of inherent contradictions that will inescapably bring about its downfall. Marx hated moralizing and preaching, and heaped1 scorn on iwhat he Politika (Belgrade), November 28,1967 called utopian, humanitarian communism; his was a scientific system, he claimed. Neither he nor Engels had _ ---much to say about what sort of society would succeed the doomed capitalism, It was simply assumed that once the infrastructure had changed, the super­ structure would inevitably be reshaped — presumably for the better — though such ethical categories as “good” or “bad,” “better” or "worse," were de­ liberately omitted from Marx’s anal­ ysis. The Ideas of the Young Marx There is however, a youthful Marx, still in his twenties, who wrote a series of articles most of which were not published until this century. The most important of these were first brought to light in 1932 under the title Economic and Philosophical Manu­ scripts of 1844. In them Marx makes his criticism of capitalism not on the basis of economics but from a human­ istic, anthropological viewpoint. His focus is on man, the free creative be­ ing. He argues that hitherto man has always led an alienated life, estranged from his true nature as an original, practical creator. Marx visualized ulti­ mate communism as the “positive tran­ scendence of private property, of hu­ man self-alienation, and therefore as the actual appropriation of human na­ ture through and for man.” Once he had regained possession of his former­ ly enslaved inner productive powers, man would produce things spontan­ eously for the pleasure of doing so. Some of his products, of course, would be material goods necessary for physical existence, but even such eco­ nomic activity would not be compul­ sory work but artistic creation. Freed from the compulsive acquisitive drive and the agonies of monotonous, alienated labor that had dominated his life until then, man would regard as joy­ ous creativity; industry itself would be an outlet for his creative instinct. Be­ sides, under ultimate communism there would be such affluence that only a fraction of man’s time would be spent on purely economic production; the rest would be devoted to the cultiva­ tion and enjoyment of the arts and sciences. In Philosophy and Myth of Karl Marx (Cambridge University Press, 1961), Robert C. Tucker asserts: "Marx's conception of ultimate com­ munism is fundamentally esthetic in nature. This utopia is an esthetic ideal of the future man-nature relationship, which he sees in terms of artistic crea­ tion and the appreciation of the beauty of the man-made environment by its creator.” Freeing man from the en­ slavement of alienated labor and re­ leasing his spiritual energies for crea­ tive activity are, for the “early” Marx, the ultimate motive and justification for the whole revolutionary effort. Capitalism has to be overthrown be­ cause it has dehumanized and es­ tranged man, perverting his real nature and awakening in him what Hegel calls "unhappy consciousness.” The young Marx defined communism as the overthrow of alienation, man’s “regain­ ing of himself” or Selbstgewinnung. The humanistic Marxists contend that the early manuscripts distill the quintessence of Marxism. The Praxis group argues that this side of Marx’s teachings has been smothered by the trappings of dialectical materialism and “vulgar economism." The theory that there were two Marxes, an “early” one who is incompatible with the “ma­ ture" one, is specious, they say; his writings merely have two emphases. In his early work, Marx formulated his over-all objective; the creation of a truly human society where man will be able to cultivate the life of the mind and exercise his creative abilities free­ ly; in his later work, he concentrated on the economic aspects, but always mindful that economics was a means to an end. The humanist group holds that the disciples and successors of Marx who have concentrated exclusively on his later works have obscured and per­ verted the purity of Marx's vision, paving the way for Stalinism, which is the supreme distortion of Marxism. The humanistic Marxists around Praxis have made Stalin the whipping-boy and Stalinism the prime target for their "uncompromising criticism of all that exists." It is obvious, however, that Stalinism exercises them only because it is the words of one of their leaders, Rudi Supek, “the most widespread Marxist conception in the contempo­ rary socialist world.”1 ated. The arts, forced into the service of economics and politics, were stifled by the insistence on so-called socialist realism and constant administrative in­ terference with the freedom of artistic expression. Instead of portraying the problems and agonies of contemporary man, artists were compelled to study the problems of growing corn and to The Label of Stalinism sing the praises of the “wise leader­ Stalinism, of course, has a multitude ship.” The social sciences, under the □f meanings — in fact, anything a constraint of ideological dogmatism, Marxist dislikes in his socialist society were not merely hamstrung but virtu­ is condemned as a "remnant” of Stalin­ ally outlawed. This the critics regret ism. Such “remnants” abound, the all the more because these studies have Praxis philosophers say, because “deep made tremendous strides in the West are the roots of dogmatism,” which is in recent decades.

Is There A Socialist Culture? There are other contradictions in the humanistic Marxists’ "uncompromising criticism of all that exists.” They ar­ gue that culture is the raison d’etre of socialism, so they are theoretically committed to the idea that there exists a socialist culture distinct in nature from bourgeois culture. Yet this is ex­ plicitly denied by some Praxis contrib­ utors and implicitly by all of them. In an article, “Culture as Fetish and the Economic Approach to Culture,” Bruno Popovic holds that 20 years ago the Stalinist thesis that there was such a thing as a new socialist culture and that it was every cultural worker's duty to develop it was understandably accepted. Something, however, was radically wrong with this concept of new culture. Popovic says — it is a “soap bubble.”4 "Socialist culture” is a meaningless term, Jozo Lausic asserts, unless it refers to what is more prop­ erly called “cultural politics," that is, page j16 the policy of a socialist society to treat culture somewhat differently from bourgeois society.5 Yet even those who cling to the idea of a different socialist culture seem to deny it in practice. This is clear in their discussion of the “old" and the “new" cultures. It is a Marxist tenet that history proper, human history, be­ gins with communism (what preceded it is “prehistory”] and, since the cul­ ture of "prehistory" was a reflection of inhuman economic and social real­ ities, the “old" culture must itself be essentially perverted and dehuman­ ized. It must be transcended by a “higher" socialist culture. The orthodox Marxists' interest in the old culture is strictly of the museum variety: it should be exhibited as ea monument to man's stupidity. Suchk uncompromising a priori theories have a way of collapsing before stubborn reality; no socialist country has yet been able to live up to them. In­ deed one of the many paradoxes of socialist society is the increased in­ terest in the past evidenced by the ood of historical publications. In their general introduction to the Yugoslav culture series, Praxis’s editors ex­ pressed what seems to be the con­ sensus of their contributors: “A nihil­ istic attitude toward cultural heritage is essentially a no-culture or anti­ culture attitude, no matter how one attempts to justify it with the accept­ ance of the new, 'higher' culture, for it lowers the point of departure to below the level of what has already been attained.” Moreover, they add, “in what we have called ‘commodity-rid­ den,’ feudal or ‘bourgeois' culture, there is often more of the all-human, truly humane than in what is some­ times explicitly proclaimed to be so­ cialist culture.”6 A similarly ambivalent position is shown toward the culture of the West. As Mihajlo Mihajlov reminded Pres­ ident Tito in his open letter, Marxism came from the West, yet the “West, in communist terms, represents the un­ redeemed remnant of mankind which, like sin, fascinates and repels true Marxist believers. The Praxis editors state: “The affluent society of the West has fulfilled man's physical needs and in the realm of culture has thrown into the market in large quantities products that can satisfy the needs of the alien­ ated human soul.”7 It is acknowledged that alienation has not disappeared from the socialist countries. Supek says that because it was assumed that political revolution and revolutionary government were sufficient to guarantee man’s liberation from his status as a commodity and all other forms of his alienation, the prob­ lem of alienation was simply dropped out of discussion during the Stalinist decades. Events, however, disproved this facile assumption. First, socialism inherited certain forms of alienation from capitalism that could not be elim­ inated overnight, such as the state, class, party, nation, bureaucracy, re­ ligion, money. There are also other, more subtle and complex forms of alienation inherent in an advanced economy and technology. The in­ creased specialization and fragmenta­ tion of labor accentuates its monotony, uncreativeness and tedium, and alien­ ates the worker from his work. And the problem of automation will have to be faced under socialism. After pointing out that a sense of "helpless­ ness and lostness” characterizes the feelings of many people in “organized capitalism,” Supek added: “It is naive to suppose that these new problems of social contradictions are faced only by bourgeois society. Equally, though under somewhat different conditions, they confront socialist society.”8 In short, then, though overcoming the sense of alienation was said to be socialism’s major advantage over cap­ italism, it transpires that this advan­ tage is quite slight. But it gives Marx­ ist philosophers the answers as to why everything Western, particularly American, has such fascination in com­ munist countries, be it the decadent poetry of T. S. Eliot, the existentialist philosophy of Sartre, pop art or pop­ ular entertainment. Another, and per­ haps more realistic reason is the fail­ ure of socialist literature. During the early postwar years Yugoslav writers tried to outdo their Soviet models in so-called socialist realism. Their work became thinlyveiled propaganda, glorifying the “motherland of socialism," the “genius” of Stalin, and the “National Liberation Struggle,” which was elevated to cos­ mic proportions, and stirring up enthu- siasm for building roads and factories. The most important esthetic criterion was "partiinost" (party consciousness], Yugoslav literary historians date the break with socialist realism from Miro­ slav Krleza’s programmatic speech to the Third Congress of Yugoslav Writ­ ers in Ljubljana in 1952. “To write does not mean to describe or tran­ scribe ... or else every county clerk would be a poet," Krleza declared. Since then the rejection of socialist realism has been total and ridicule of it has become a fad among younger Marxist writers. The Movement of Repudiation Encouraged by the repudiation of socialist realism and political interven­ tion in art, some writers have moved away from social themes altogether. Even some liberal critics level such Zhdanovite epithets as “formalistic," “narcissistic," “individualistic," "petty bourgeois" and "selfish" at their col­ leagues. What has happened is that such writers have withdrawn into themselves, express existentialist feel­ ings of cosmic loneliness and the meaninglessness of existence, or sim­ ply write about Common human prob­ lems with no reference whatever to “socialist reality." Unlike their col­ leagues in the field of philosophy, writers on literary themes seem to care so little that they no longer deign even to criticize. This total indifference hurts. Con­ demning what he called the “privatiza­ tion” of the arts, Vlado Gotovac wrote: “Many (writers] have withdrawn into their own world, protecting in silence their own private relation to events ... To be respected means to be one who does not get involved in uncertain ven­ tures, one who risks nothing. . . .” The debate, while attesting to the intellectual courage of the disputants, has created a new dilemma for them. Pressed too hard, the argument could call into question some of the basic assumptions of the Marxism they still profess. ■a v ~e FOOTNOTES 1 Praxis (Zagreb), No. 6,1965. 2 Ibid. 3 Ibid. 4 Praxis, No. 3, 1965. 5 Praxis, No. 4, 1965. 6 Praxis, No. 3, 1965. 7 Ibid.

I have served e College in varied ways. This Xt Spring. I had the distinct privilege of acting as chairman of the Commun"on of the Annual Scho arship and Research Appeal. Prior to hat, mv service took the form of; contrib­ utor panelist, spectator tuition-paying father, a campaign worker, team cap­ tain, and division colonel. By virtue of this multiple type service I have viewed Wilkes from all angles and have drawn certain conclusions that I feel compelled to share with the Where Are The Alumni? by Ben Badman '41 O alumni. At the end of this recent campaign, which technically was June 30th, the record indicates the community phase had 916 contributors for $102,578. It also shows 551 alumni contributors gave $13,835, making the grand total of 1467 contributors and $116,413. At a quick glance it would seem we did well, but when the figures are broken into parts the picture changes con­ siderably. To set the record straight let us ex­ amine this past campaign. The com­ munity phase had a goal of $100,000 and actually raised 102%. The alumni had a goal of S25.000 and raised only 55%. The local community accounted for 62% of the total contributors and about 88% of the total dollars raised. The average gift from the community was about $112 while the alumni aver­ age gift was only $25. If we were to pursue this further and realize there are now 6,000 alumni, this divided in to the $13,835 raised would give an average alumni contribution of only $2.30 each (and that is per year]. As we can easily see, the figures are heavily weighed on the community side and this should not be at this stage in the history of Wilkes College. Wilkes College has been good to this local community. It has helped the community economically, socially, ed­ ucationally. Wilkes has provided leadership in most ail worthy civic endeavors, loaned its facilities for important functions and provided mature and educated youth for industry and business. In short Wilkes has been an exceptionally good citizen. By the same token, the community has been good to Wilkes.

I know much of the greatness of any college is the greatness of its alumni. I know people are looking at us and wondering when will we begin to pull our load. I know that in the years to come, more and more of the burden must fall on the shoulders and pocketbooks of the alumni, and I also know first hand that alumni dollars and number of con­ tributors are not increasing as fast as the college is graduating new alumni. SUMMER THEATER WORKSHOP I The second five-week Summer Theater Workshop from June 23 to July 25, 1968, was attended by 47 high school juniors and seniors from the Wyoming Valley area, Allentown, and Pittsburgh and by 13 graduate students to whom Lehigh University granted six hours of credit toward a Master’s Degree in Education. The project is funded by the Pennsyl­ vania Department of Public Instruction in coopera­ tion with the Luzerne County Schools. Leo J. Pelton, Associate Director of Region M, assisted in coordin­ ating the project. Charlotte Lord and Myvanwy Williams of the Wilkes College faculty were members of the instruc­ tional staff; Andrew Palencar was art director; Richard Fox, a teacher and theater technician at Easton, was technical designer; and David Frey, who graduated last June, was stage manager and in charge of the undergraduate student staff. Klaus Holm, noted Broadway lighting designer, was guest lecturer and consultant. John Chwalek, director of Guidance and Placement, supervised the program with Alfred S. Groh, director. In the two years a total of 100 high school stu­ dents and 29 graduate students have received instruc­ tion and theater training at the Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts. Seven students of the first Summer Theater Workshop are presently enrolled as freshmen at the College. All of them are par­ ticipating in the theater. Some of us paid our own way through Wilkes. Some of us received all or part scholarship aid. Some of us had a college job in addition to scholarship aid. Whatever the case may be, no matter how you cut the pie, we all got much more from a Wilkes education than we gave. And as such, we owe something to Wilkes, we owe something to those who come after us. Over these many years Wilkes Col­ lege has matured to where it is an im­ portant cog in the American Educa­ tional Wheel. We as alumni should learn to mature with it, for if we don’t, we’re no better than the day we en­ tered as a freshman, and our education was for naught. As you can see, I feel strongly about Wilkes College. I know what it did for me, and I know what it must have done for you.

The charges of Coach Roland Schmidt exploded the 1968 micro-mini batting average trend by hitting a sizzling .291 for 15 games. The 1968 Wilkes baseball schedule began on a sweet note on April 3rd, as sophomore Joe Zakowski fired a one hit shutout at Delaware Valley. In re­ cording his 4-0 whitewash, the 6'1" southpaw struck out nine Aggie bat­ ters. Upsala provided the opposition for the next contest, and the Colonels almost knocked the visitors back to New Jersey with a 19 hit, 16 run bar­ rage. Leading batsmen for Wilkes were Pal Salantri and Joe Wiendl. collecting three hits apiece. The Colonels ran into rocky sailing for the next two games bowing to East Stroudsburg 7-3. and Scranton 4-1. to even their their season mark at 2-2. In a rematch at home with Scranton the Wilkesmen turned the tables with a 4-2 triumph. Freshman hurler John Baranowski posted the win. getting ninth inning relief support from Char­ lie Fick. Facing Juniata in a home twin bill the Blue and Gold gained a split, taking the first game 5-4, and dropping the nightcap 8-5. Playing through what appeared to be another so-so-year, the Colonels lost their fourth and final con­ test to Muhlenburg 4-3. Located in the lower half of the MAC standings with a 4-3 (4-4 overall) log the Wilkesmen began their miracle conference tilt. Wiendl again looked streak to the top.

He was considered as one of the top glove men on the team. Pete Patalak and Barry Tiras were both four year lettermen who saw plenty of action during their years at Wilkes. Tiras proved to be a pinch hitter de­ luxe this spring collecting six hits in 1 nine official at bats for a sizzling .667 batting average. Patalak excelled at de­ fense making a couple key plays during the course of the year. RESULTS OF ’68 BASBALL SEASON I The Blue and Gold were behind 4-1, in the bottom of the fifth inning when umpires sent both squads under cover from the downpour that had been threatening the entire game. After a 30 minute wait the Colonels and the visitors from Lycoming were ordered back on the field. Within five minutes the game changed complexion as the Wilkesmen roared in with nine runs to sew up the contest and the Colonels' first MAC Championship in history. Zakowski, who had been starting his fourth contest in eight days, was chased off the mound in the fifth. Re­ lievers John Baranowski and John Ladomirak limited the Indians the rest of the way. batted in as the duo knocked in 13 apiece. Wiendl brought additional hon­ ors to himself and the Colonels by leading the MAC in stolen bases with 12. Batting wasn't the only reason for the Wilkes 1968 success story. A strong pitching corps, led by ace Zakowski compiled a brilliant 2.02 earned run average for the 15 games.

Those of you who attended Professor Stroup's lecture several weeks ago gained another insight into the contemporary nature of the prob­ lem as Professor Stroup stated that there are some 16 million refugees in the world today — the living dead of man’s various armed conflicts. These data have led many scientists to the same general conclusion re­ ported by Freeman (1964), “that no group of animals is more aggressive or more ruthless in their aggression than adult members of the human race. In­ deed, the extreme nature of human destructiveness and cruelty is one of the principal characteristics which marks off man, behaviorally, from other animals.” If I may digress for a moment, I would like to point out to those mem­ bers of my audience who may be un­ aware of the fact, that the one major conclusion drawn from field work on all types of organisms is that animals, although displaying aggression, rarely kill members of their own or other species. On the contrary, those animals with the fiercest natural weapons have developed a variety of inhibitions to control control the the use use of these weapons other than than for for bringing bringing down down prey. prey. Most Most organisms appear to show three reactions in a conflict situation. One choice is for the animal to flee from an aggres­ sor; the second is to fight, but the fight rarely is resolved in human fashion as pointed out by Ardrey (1966).

Final!, ’ the teeth of Australopithecus are toy’ similar to our own to have been ° ployed “for the endless grinding and munching of a vegetarian creature who must gain from low-calorie foodstuffs sufficient daily nourishment to support a fair-sized body.” 1 Along with this anatomical data Dart presented other data which again re­ enforced the nature of Australopithe­ cus as that of a predator. Among the three sites in which Dart had found the sothern Ape Man were the remains of 58 baboon skulls. Of the 58,16 were considered too fragmentary for study but the other 42 all showed specific damage to the skull or muzzle. Among these skulls, 27 had severe damage from some type of frontal assault, six had been struck from the rear and the remaining nine had been struck from the side. The key point here is that apparently Australopithecus, with no natural weapons of his own, no ca­ nines, no claws, and weighing approx­ imately 90 pounds, had brought down a large, dangerous, troop-defended animal. Dart concluded that these in­ juries must have been caused by a weapon. He presented other evidence which indicated that the humerous bone and the lower jaw of antelopes appeared to be the favorite weapon of Australopithecus (see Ardrey, 1961). In summary, the Australopithecines are seen by another anthropologist (Freeman, 1964) as “an evolutionary innovation,, a primate species that becoming terrestrial, achieved an unpre­ cedented evolutionary advance by a predatory and carnivorous adaptation to their new environment, based on an upright stance and the adoption of lethal, manual weapons." Along these same lines Ardrey (1961) concludes that “in the first evolution­ ary hour of the human emergence we became sufficiently skilled in the use of weapons to render superfluous our natural primate daggers” (canine teeth), Ardrey adds that he knows “of no other scientific explanation for the remarkable reduction in our canine teetht other than the substitution of weapon in the hand."

This experience and ■ - followed .. auu many others which i sub____ 1 m connonT ____ “ sequent years nr. on various other organ­ isms led Darling to conclude in 1959 in an Article titled “Social Behavior and Survival” that organisms attach themselves to territories for psycho­ logical reasons, not for reasons of physiological need. Darling concluded that territories are established because of the psychological need for security and for the stimulation provided by others of their own kind. “Stimulation may come from the mere presence of other animals as in a herd or flock, but territorial behavior enhances it." Dar­ ling apparently felt that too much em­ phasis had been placed on the amount of fighting which occurs within ter­ ritories; in actuality “the hostility is more of a show than a fight, an act rather than an action. The tumult of a colony of sea birds is a vast cha­ rade . . .” in which few birds get hurt but where stimulation is at a maximum (after Ardrey, 1966). Darling, therefore, saw the territory as providing the security needed by an organism to mate and nest and as also providing a “border region where the fun goes on.” Ardrey adds a third psychological advantage provided by territory. He describes territories as providing iden­ tity to the organism. “The bird," states Ardrey, “seeks his invariable branch from which to advertise his presence; it is a portion of his identity. The im­ mature Atlantic salmon seeks his un­ changing pattern of pebbles on the bottom of lllo his swift moving ___ stream; A of Canadian geese seeks that tract of marsh which is distinguishable only to the eyes of a goose, but which distinguishes the flock from all others . . • the animal seeks to differentiate itself from all others of his kind.” Ardrey emphatically states that to discuss the psyche of the animal is to walk across dangerous ground.” And pt how else is one to account for the dition is s’-------p ’ successful if it satisfies a the end of the road where further im­ data presented by the ornithologist maximum of innate , , -......... “”3 need."

Actually, he made known hie decision to thei chairman Of the board in a letter dated October 4. In it he wrote, "... the year 1970 wiU be ai pro­ pitious time. By that time, the college should be re-accredited and other questions resolved. Dr. Farley, who has been associated with Wilkes College for 34 years, expressed deep gratitude for the friendship, encouragement and support that has been offered him during that time. "When I came to Wilkes-Barre, I was ad­ vised that there was no hope for the future of the community and that I was making a mis­ take coming to the area. I must admit there were times when I agreed . . . However, after a few years, I was obsessed with the idea that, while building a sound college, it might be possible to use the college as an instrument to assist in the rehabilitation of our community. This double challenge captured and held me. "The dream that I had would have been a nightmare but for the loyal support of faculty, trustees, and friends. I am eternally grateful for their loyal support and for the encourage­ ment that they offered me. "As I end my services as president, my great concern is that the impetus of the past be continued into the future. Higher education will be confronted with many difficulties dur­ ing the next two decades and it will be im­ perative that the work of the college be con­ tinued with a renewed sense of dedication. Only by continuing the momentum of the past and by directing it into new and con­ structive channels will it be possible to main­ tain that which has already been created " Born in Phoenixville, September — Dr. Farley was one of four child;rre29, i899 and Mrs. Robert Farley.

The turnout of alumni this year surpassed pre­ vious attendance records. The story of Homecoming is told best in the montage of pictures which follows. Dr. Farley crowned Jean Marie Chapasko Homecoming Queen during halftime. Her court included Ruth Bartoletti and Florence Napoli. The Queen and her court received bouquets of flowers as well as gifts from Student Govern­ ment, the Inter-dormitory Council, and the Alumni Association. The Biology Club won the best over-all dis­ play and the best club display trophies. Sturde­ vant Hall received the best women's dormitory display trophy with Warner House having the best men's display, and TDR had the best float. During summer vacations, Dr. Farle employed on farms and in a shipyard to money to continue his education. In 1921 received a B.S. degree at Penn State, then' 6 tered the University of Pennsylvania in 1923' Aided by a Harrison Scholarship he earned his M.A. degree in history in 1927 and a Ph D degree in education in 1933. A veteran of World War I, the Wilkes Col­ lege president taught at Germantown Acad­ emy from 1922-25 and was a member of the faculty at the University of Pennsylvania from 1927-29. He was director of research for the Newark, N. J., Board of Education until 1936. The All-Alumni Dinner honored the classes of '38, '43, '48, '53, '58 and '63. A large turnout heard Bill Tremayne, George Ralston, Francis Michelini, and Eugene Farley following the din­ ner. Joe Shambe served as the master of cere­ monies. According to our new policy the classes of '39, '44, '49, '54, '59, and '64, will hold their reunion sessions during the Alumni Seminar weekend, the second weekend in June. ----------- — - i ■ ■■■! It was at this point that Arnaud Marts, then president of Bucknell University (now, pres­ ident, Marts and Lundy, New York), invited Dr. Farley to become administrator head of Bucknell University Junior College in WilkesBarre. He was appointed president of Wilkes College when it received its charter as an in­ dependent, liberal arts college for both men and women on April 1,1947. Only a handful of students were receiving their higher education in a four-story rented building. Through his efforts and dedication to the cause of education, today Wilkes Col­ lege boasts of a 50-building complex on a campus embracing 23 acres. Dr. Farley during his tenure of office has worked unceasingly for the industrial development of the area and an has integrated the college in this area of activ ity. In the words of Attorney Waller, Wil es College would not be what it is today without the perseverance and foresight of a man w 0 knows that the hopes of the world rests 1 the hands of the young.

Farley Speaks to the Student Body of Wilkes College on the occasion of the Opening Convocation This article was reproduced, and mailed to the parents of all Wilkes students. page /10 You are attaining maturity in the midst of the greatest revolution known to civilized man. It is a revolution that had its origins in the Renaissance, in man's quest for freedom, in his quest for truth, and in the triumphs of science and technology. When you consider its origins, you may conclude that it is too prolonged to be termed a revolution. You will note, however, that man's increasing knowledge of himself and of his universe creates periods in which surges of change are so great that more is demanded of society than it is able and ready to deliver. In con­ sequence, periods of relative tranquility are inter­ spersed with periods of radical change and violent reaction. We are now caught in one of these great forward surges and it is yet to be determined whether we can survive the turbulence resulting from the un­ dercurrent of ideas growing out of scientific and tech­ nological developments of the past century. We are all aware of the physical changes that have been produced by technology; but we are much less aware of changes in values, standards, ideals, and aspirations which have been the inevitable accom­ paniment of change in our way of living and of earn­ ing a living. Although it is inevitable that cultural change shall result from physical change, it is not inevitable that the cultural and social changes shall be beneficial to man. The assurance of beneficial re­ sults is only a possibility when a mature and intelli­ gent people give direction to change so that it will benefit mankind. Such direction requires a rare com­ bination of human qualities — curiosity, creativeness, pragmatism, patience, and stability. And only when men keep the welfare of man foremost in their plans, can we expect that physical change will be so directed. Today we must sometimes feel that our material gains may jeopardize our survival. We reluctantly sense that our survival will require greater intelligence and dedication than have been applied to the dis­ covery of new truths and the harnessing of physical power. But to this awareness we must add a measure of maturity and common sense if man is to maintain a measure of equilibrium in the midst of physical, social, and spiritual revolution. It is to cultivate and direct this intelligence that education is required. Un­ less your education encourages creative thought and constructive action, and unless you recognize the need for creative thought and constructive action, your own education will be inadequate; and may I remind you that your education cannot be adequate unless you are willing to recognize the nature of the undercurrents that pull us in many different direc­ tions. In light of our need for maturity and under­ standing, I will discuss with you a few thoughts that are pertinent to our current condition and our future prospects. RELEVANCE Some of your student peers complain that their courses are not relevant. It is always difficult to deter­ mine the truth of this criticism, but regardless of its truth, all thoughtful educators must be concerned by it. For, to be effective, their teachings must be both relevant and challenging and to make them so, able faculty members must constantly adapt their courses to new conditions and new students. Experienced teachers are aware, however, that that which seems relevant today may seem irrelevant tomorrow; and every alert teacher is as concerned with relevance of tomorrow as with those of today. In good conscience, the thoughtful teacher must always strive to relate the transitory relevances of today to relevances that will be accepted by students at twenty-five, at forty, at fifty, and even at sixty. And, although you may not now believe it, you will live to attain these ages and you will also find that growing responsibility and experience will change your values and your concerns. Possibly a study made of some fourteen thousand General Electric engineers will illustrate this con­ tinuing change in personal values. Twenty years after graduation, these engineers indicated that communi­ cation and writing were the aspects of their college education which had been most slighted and which they would enlarge were they able to repeat their college years. They reached this conclusion, however, only after experience had convinced them that a clear expression of ideas and an exact presentation of facts were essential to successful accomplishment. Pro­ longed experience had demonstrated that they could achieve little unless they could communicate much. In consequence, that which they considered relevant at forty and at fifty was not that which they had con­ sidered relevant at twenty. At twenty, if they were like most engineers of their generation, they con­ sidered courses in language and communications to be a nuisance imposed upon them by an unreasonable college faculty. This single illustration of changing relevances is perhaps too specific and too narrow to illustrate the point. In consequence, we may gain a better under­ standing of changing relevances by comparing the engineering program of 1940 with the engineering education of today. In the past, engineers were trained to use facts and to apply techniques and, in consequence, they devoted themselves to drawing, surveying, and the operation and design of machines, roads, and structures. Because they had these skills, they were well paid upon graduation, but too many of them reached their top achievement by the time they were thirty. Their training had equipped them for routine technical work but had not encouraged them to think creatively and imaginatively. By con­ trast, today's engineers study principles and are en- page / Il �» IM"1 ‘“'“y,"'1k S'i- lhe>' because this type ^"Lerformance. The man will reach no early PIateau k with others— who thinks creatively-if he can nor Courses in History also illustrate the need[forr a broader and longer view. There is an 011 aphorism that "history repeats itself for those r know the past." And your generation, which is impatient with the mistakes of earlier generations must know your history if you are not to repeat these same mistakes. But knowing the past is not enoug , you must also critically examine the past so that your knowledge of the past may not become the pattern for the future. You must recognize that history is taught sometimes to perpetuate the parochialism, the prejudices, and the misconceptions of the past. There­ fore, you must study history critically and objectively if it is to release you from narrowness and bias. And, some of you may consider the study of religion and philosophy to be irrelevant in today s world. On the contrary’, when properly conceived, they may be the most relevant of your studies. They are concerned with human values and with the sig­ nificance of life, and in today's confused world we must rediscover the meaning of existence if we are to retain hope. For those who are concerned solely with material and physical conditions, religion and philosophy may seem irrelevant. They are most rel­ evant, however, for all who believe that man posses­ ses the intellectual and spiritual capabilities to im­ prove himself and his society. With the passing of the years you may expect your relevances to change and if your present education is relevant, it will enable you to adopt new and sounder values which, in turn, will lead to new rel­ evances. As the years pass, you may perhaps measure your growth by comparing the relevances of an early period m your life with relevances that will seem of most significance in your later years.

Ultimately, : -------new patterns1 r -- -• develop, 1 1 must for without accepted standards and common goals, society disintegrates and anrl man retrogresses. The acceptance of new moral guide­ lines will not be easily attained, however, for each culture will cling to its own patterns of thought and behavior until shared experiences dispel resistance to change. To the bitter end, we must expect that change will be decried by those who wish to maintain the status quo, while constructive change will be wel­ comed only by those who seek to improve the moral conscience of their time. If we compare the morality of today with the mor­ ality of the Puritans or of the Victorians, some will say we have retrogressed. In some instances, it may be that we have done so, but, on the whole, it would appear that we have moved forward. In the ethic of the Puritans and the Victorians, there was a staunch­ ness and conviction — but there was also an indiffer­ ence and unawareness that condoned practices which today are unacceptable. Self-righteousness and com placency were interwoven with the exploitation o people in a manner that could be endured only Y those who were indifferent or who deemed themselves superior to others and who, therefore, felt themselves entitled to exploit those who were less fortunate^ Only such indifference and unawareness could excus slavery, child labor, the Coal and Iron Police, an Your generation is neither unaware nor indifferent; it recognizes the needs and desires of others. You do not believe that you should have a superabundance while multitudes live in want. You have developed a concern for and an awareness of others that could not be attained in an era of indifference and com­ placency. Because of your awareness — which is con­ stantly increased by the new and varied media of communication — you sometimes repudiate the old morality while failing to replace it with a new and more personal morality. Having discovered the in­ adequacy of the old morality you yield to cynicism; but, if it is true, as Ernest Becker has stated, that morality is essential both to your own personal in­ tegrity and to the integrity and vitality of your so­ ciety, you can neither afford to alienate yourself from society nor yield to cynicism. Because "no man is an island unto himself," each of you must develop stand­ ards of conduct that will satisfy your own conscience while giving others reason to place their trust in you — and some measure of trust is essential to all who would live and work with others. Without trust, man becomes less than human, and without morality and conscience, there is no reason for man to trust his neighbor. If these thoughts contain truth, all must acknowl­ edge a need for morality which will sustain personal integrity and give meaning to social relationships. If man is to improve his lot in this world, he must be­ lieve in progress, and he must maintain his liberties. He must recognize that, without morality, neither freedom nor human progress is possible. FAITH, REASON AND SERVICE You not only live in a period of inquiry and unrest but you are at an age when doubt and uncertainty are an expected phase in your own personal growth. In a sense, society is groping for a sense of social maturity just as you are groping for greater personal maturity. In consequence, men of all generations are now experiencing and sharing the doubts that for­ merly were supposed to be the exclusive experience of young adults. To sustain themselves in the midst of social crisis, thoughtful persons must strive for greater awareness, greater understanding, and greater wisdom — and faith is an essential element in under­ standing and wisdom. In the midst of this period of personal and social transition, many of you may question the significance of religion; and, for a time, this questioning may lead to a loss of perspective and of faith. Ultimately, it should enable you to develop a broader perspective and a deeper faith and, if you gain a more rational faith, it will enlarge your perspective and sustain your hopes in the midst of revolutionary change and the clash of conflicting ideologies. At the end of the last century, my father's library contained a number of books dealing with the con­ flict between science and religion. At that time, such conflict was inescapable. Science challenged the authority of theologians by questioning many beliefs that for centuries had been unquestioned. Inevitably, long accepted authorities responded by attacking scientists whose methods of inquiry challenged their authority. Had these protagonists been willing to accept the idea that both religion and science were designed to serve the needs of mankind, there would have been no significant conflict. Unfortunately, they admitted no common purpose. Each followed a sep­ arate path and each offered different answers to the same questions. Each failed to recognize that they were working for a common purpose — enrichment of the lives of men. In consequence, their differences led to conflict just as today the clashing claims of conflicting ideologies lead to conflict. Had science and religion recognized a common purpose — service to mankind -— the bitterness of this conflict would have been avoided. Instead of fighting the other, each would have sought to demonstrate the effectiveness of its offerings and each would have adopted the best ideas of its rival. Their ideological conflict would have faded away as men tested and compared the effective­ ness of each camp's proposals. Each would have been judged by its fruits — not by dogmatic claims of superiority. As it was with science and religion in the last half of the nineteenth century, so it is today with the cur­ rent ideologies that claim the minds of man. If each acknowledges its purpose to be the enrichment of human existence, each would then strive to prove the merit of its own ideological system; and each would study the other in the hope of improving its own. Today, at long last, there is some suggestion that the ideological camps are examining the practices of their opponents so that they may adopt practices which have proved to be effective. If this is so, pragmatism and enlarged understanding of man's spiritual and physical needs are creating an awareness that the future of the race is jeopardized by problems which have no regard for ideological differences. Overpopulation, the pollution of our environment, and possible extermination by the misuse of thermo­ nuclear weapons affect all mankind. They have no regard for ideology, nationality, or race. They are worldwide in their threat, and their solution will re­ quire worldwide cooperation. The artificial divisions of the past, if maintained, are barriers to the survival of mankind. And, at this point, I suggest that sur­ vival is highly desirable — or at least I hope it is — to all of you whose "futures" will be longer than your "pasts." every conceivable exploitation of man. page / 12 page / 13 �of man's contemporary dilemma This discussion — — ’• .• It is, on tne unrelated to faith and religion, may seem man's higher aspira, - d contrary, definitely related to forces him to „ tions.

The problem of modem man is to relate his need for faith with his increasing dependence upon reason. Rational man requires both reason and faith to main­ tain his integrity. If this is so, religion and science complement one another. Each offers promise and hope, but each requires the active involvement o men's hearts and minds if they are to sustain men in the midst of doubt and uncertainty. FREEDOM AND DISSENT Freedom of conscience and the privilege of dissent are two of democracy's greatest privileges. As such, they must be guarded jealously for they can be de­ stroyed by neglect and by abuse. If treated carelessly, the right to dissent is crushed by those w’ho would impose their will upon a people. If not guarded jealously, the right to dissent will be used to destroy these freedoms that can be maintained only where dissent encourages continual and constructive review of ideas and institutions. Today it is abused by those whose purpose is the destruction of the American colleges and universities. In consequence, those of us who consider dissent essential to freedom must guard against both neglect and abuse. We must decide when the fine line that distinguishes freedom from anarchy is jeopardized by dissenters who use the privilege of dissent as the first step toward the imposition of their arbitrary rule upon a careless people. The abuses of dissent at Berkeley and Columbia have resulted from carelessness on the part of many and of accepted purpose on the part of a few. The many have been inhibited by their belief in the right of dissent. The few have been inspired by their knowledge that they could obtain some measure of support from those whose belief in freedom caused them to accept a measure of dissent that is ultimately designed to destroy both freedom and dissent. It is to be hoped that the announced plan of the Students for a Democratic Society to destroy the American colleges and universities has awakened us to the need to carefully distinguish betwen the use of dissent and the abuse of dissent. page / 14 Reasonable dissent is essential t; " e Pre_ t0 th of our freedoms and must be jealously --^y guardedVX'On lent protest is the tool used by thoseJ ,¥ ---- 2 who k V1°faith in themselves and in their society; th sent to destroy the very freedoms that a^f be Uls, to protest. -lovv them Dissent is essential to freedom because t reasonable alternatives and without alternaf ' offers ' -3 We are caught in the determining and confining inflVeS of "habit and tradition." Where men are allo Uences reasonable alternatives, violent protest is the n° means of gaining essential reforms.

Responsibll sons must continually guard against violence are aware that violent protest assures a violent action and that the irresponsible abuse of freed creates chaos and chaos leads inevitably to totalit °m controls. Because man cannot exist in a social vaT uum he must choose between imperfect institution' that protect his freedoms and those rigid controls that curtail his freedoms. As has been said many times, "democracy is the most inefficient of all forms of government until you compare it with the others" To preserve democracy, every responsible individ­ ual has an obligation to dissent, but he also has an obligation to conform. If freedom is to be preserved, the individual is obliged to dissent when principles of fair play and justice are ignored or violated. It is just as essential to the maintenance of freedom that law and order be maintained. The conscientious citizen is, therefore, called upon to draw that fine line which distinguishes rational dissent from divisive conten­ tion. The maintenance of our democratic institutions requires that responsible citizens assume this obliga­ tion. As J. N. D. Anderson of the University of Lon­ don has written, "In a democracy indeed every citizen bears a measure of responsibility for misgovernment, bad laws, or wrong policies unless he has played his full part in trying to get a better government into power, better laws on the statute book, and better policies adopted." You and I live in a nation that was founded upon ideals of freedom and democracy. To be sure, our practices have never fully accorded with our idea s, but the stated ideals of our leaders set a goal whic we must seek. If we fail to continue the struggle or human and social improvement, we assure the e cline of our civilization. Progress — human an so eial — is possible only when men strive for some thing better. There must be a recognized goal com bined with dissatisfaction with existing practices. Without a better goal to give us hope and to susta our efforts, nihilism and anarchism are the inevita philosophies of escape. Dissatisfied with existing conditions, but seeing no feasible alternative, the de­ sire to destroy dominates the thought and spirit of the individual and destruction seems preferable to existence. I believe that Freud describes this as the "death wish." I hope that with all of us the desire for life and constructive effort will always counter­ balance the so-called "death wish." It is possible that this discussion of freedom and dissent seems irrelevant to those of us at Wilkes. I wish that it were, but it is not. There are those at work throughout the nation who wish to destroy our nation and our society. They have received financial support from varied sources and their representatives are "working in many colleges, and Wilkes is one of their selected targets. They strive to discover and nurture discontent, violent protest, and despair. They are now working with individual students and they are planning to organize unrest. Although as pro­ testing "anarchists" they oppose organization, they have developed techniques to organize protest and violence. One of them, who has endeavored for two years to encourage revolt, has promised students from another college that there will be violence at Wilkes in 1968-69. Some of us have been aware of efforts to infiltrate the faculty, student body, and administra­ tion with thoughts of rebellion and violence. We now deem it necessary to alert all others to these efforts so that their claims of an immediate Utopia may not cause us to lose sight of the great struggle for human and social betterment in which all con­ cerned persons must involve themselves. In these changing and disturbing times, each of us must seek alternatives that will give us some rational freedom of choice. Wilkes College is committed to this quest for crea­ tive alternatives. We hope that you will join with us in making your College, your Nation, and your Civil­ ization more human and more creative. To this end, we seek your support, your cooperation, your counsel, and your constructive criticism. Our doors and minds are open to you. RECAPITULATION It is possible at this assembly to suggest only a few of the ideas and questions that involve thought­ ful people in this period of unrest. Undoubtedly, you would have chosen other topics of equal or greater significance. I hope, however, that these suggestions will encourage you to examine your own questions and concerns more critically so that you may be pre­ pared to act intelligently and constructively. May you ever remember that constructive thought and action are the ultimate goals of your education. Knowledge and skill, which may now seem pre-eminent, are but tools required for creative thought and constructive action. May I now review my reasons for selecting the four topics that I have discussed with you. Relevance was selected in the hope that the rel­ evance of your studies would be judged not by its momentary significance, but because of its longrange significance. Morality is deemed important because the skep­ tics and the cynics of our times strive to ridicule it, whereas historical perspective suggests that morals — change though they may — provide an essential base for both personal and social integrity. It is doubtful that civilization can survive without a moral foundation. Faith, Freedom, and Service were chosen because men need to be sustained and encouraged by the conviction and the hope that they can improve their lot if they involve themselves in a work which enables them to maintain a creative perspective. Freedom and Dissent are discussed because dis­ sent is essential to freedom and also because the abuse and misuse of dissent by the irresponsible, the cynic, and the nihilist provide instruments for the destruction of free institutions. Because dis­ sent is essential to freedom, we must cherish and preserve the right to dissent. Because its abuse can destroy our freedoms, we must guard it from those who would use it to destroy those freedoms that are most cherished by peoples who once enjoyed them, but have since lost them. At Wilkes we offer no final answers to the great questions that challenge mankind. We are not "authoritarians" nor do we believe that final answers are attainable. We do believe that only by a contin­ uing search for better answers and by a consideration of all alternatives can we hope to improve man's lot on this planet. page/ 15 �by George Ralston, Dean of Students As we approach another year in the between liberty and r— f«Ponsibiiity _ academic community we are told the between a man’s right to'iiy, ’e his own American college students today are life and his obligation as a Cltlzen of engaged in a painful struggle for free­ the human community? dom: freedom of curricular choice, Fortunately, at Wilkes, vfreedom from the administrative ^estab­ student community whichjve have a lishment and its structures, and free­ seeks honest answers, QUr SIncerely . student dom for more meaningful integration leaders do not scorn into society.

In closing, I would like to offer a quotation that served to inspire me in preparing a speech to be delivered to the freshmen this Thursday. From the pen of Henry David Thoreau comes the thought, “The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths that the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity! I did not wish to take cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world . . . ." We of Student Government have asserted that any freshman who is courageous enough to secure and main­ tain the desire and determination req­ uisite to the successful pursuit of edu­ cation will find that at Wilkes College he is not confined to the ruts of medi­ ocrity. Now we are charging you, mem­ bers of the faculty, with the responsi­ bility of providing in fact those oppor­ tunities which we have often heard so eloquently expressed — so that every Wilkes College student can, if he so desires, . go before the mast and on the deck of the world.........” ent Pelude rMthe y C01ncide nt should J?pten'°t seating of students ous faculty committees Th® Variics of such an arrangement areThatlmg of a thorough study ana deservthat by working with you thi, ,We Se dent government can effect student-faculty relations in flv “ ulis areaWhat I am illustratim what illustrating js the ^aconcerted for a concerted effort in orde-t need vide the highest quality educating prosible, and if our efforts r°-.°n poslnt to the need for a change in our P° standards' policies, then in our attempt to -3 Of seek truth we must explore the open to us and adopt those options methods which we feel would serve the best interests of our college. Thus, these criticisms of som. some of the aspects of our system do not —t constitute an attack on our college. We of this committee are justifiably proud of what it stands for; and no less impor­ tantly, we take an active pride in grasping the opportunity to play a con­ structive role in shaping the structure of our campus to the changing needs of college education. Rather than cyni­ cism, what we are expressing is a deep-rooted concern for the quality of the opportunities that are open to stu­ dents of our college. However, in pointing out the educational opportun­ ities that exist at Wilkes College it is not enough that we are able to read the eloquently phrased ideals of an ed­ ucated man as contained in the col­ lege handbook; for, these ideals, if they possess any meaning at all, are defined by the degree to which they are translatable into classroom exper­ iences by the students and faculty. And as the underlying philosophy oi our liberal arts institution, these ®ar ® of an educated man should constitute the basis of course offerings; hkewi ' the degree of success of an ind,v’du®L curriculum must be measured V degree to which these concep s been embodied by the studen ■ . t could reasonably say that a s who receives a “4” for coursen but who has acquired no aPPr anj for truth, vision, ethical standar . ’ — 3 ™ jT'faded "n understanding passage has, in effect, ta be 1 niiARt quest for prhiration. education. It cOU PAUL WENDER President, Student Government 4 Interaction is defined as an exchange between two or more groups. The cause of such an exchange and its re­ lationship to the student body and faculty of Wilkes College is relevant to any attempts to understand and im­ prove this institution. It is manifested in the communications or dealings be­ tween our two groups, the Student Government and faculty, and it is bas­ ically an interchange of services, ideas and feelings. This concept, the cause of student-faculty interaction and in­ terchange and why it is necessary or unnecessary is actually the purpose of my presentation. First let us consider our relationship and its basic features. The primary purpose of the faculty is to educate the students. Similarly the students are enrolled in college so that they may reap the benefits of this educational process. Finally, the administration, in their basic role, exists in order to maintain and develop the high stand­ ards set forth in the philosophy of Wilkes College. This College, as well as similar institutions of higher edu­ cation, is therefore an educational community. As such this environment provides a unifying force for those who teach, those who learn and those who serve in an administrative capa­ city. The effective functioning of this commmunity requires an awareness of mutual responsibility, understanding, trust and respect so that all its mem­ bers can actively contribute to the de­ velopment of policies and programs. This concept can best be achieved only through the aforementioned total in­ terchange. Cooperation and interchange within most educational communities has not yet been fully attained. Berkeley, Col­ umbia and Stanford are obvious exam­ ples of disorientation to effective inter­ change. Herbert Stroup, the Dean of Students at Brooklyn College, felt that the reasons for these disorientations could be attributed to six fundamental disvalues in student participation in college affairs other than the class­ room. These disvalues are: 1. Discontinuity—The college’s chief responsibility is to see to it that a complex organization of educa­ tional and other services are main­ tained for the benefit of the stu­ dents. These services require a high degree of “time-binding” to be effective. Now since the stu­ dent body is everchanging, there is no stability or permanency in its relationship to the college. 2. Incompetency—It is assumed that a committee, in order to be truly effective, holds some degree of competency for the responsibility which is given to it. To place per­ sons of low competency on a re­ sponsible committee is to nullify the committee’s function. So it may be that students generally do not possess sufficient knowledge and understanding to be granted positions on committees for which the faculty in terms of education­ al or even legal responsibility should be held accountable. 3. Immaturity — He (Dean Stroup) feels students are too young to make mature contributions. 4. Limited time of students — Stu­ dents should devote themselves to their highest potential in the pro­ cess of education. 5. Lack of authority — For most col­ leges the clear responsibility for the operation and development of a college is imposed upon a board of trustess, an administration and a faculty. Therefore, the student would serve no purpose in relat­ ing to any of these groups, espe­ cially since they possess a great deal of authority over them. 6. Power-mindedness — Many stu­ dents today are striving for pow­ er merely for its own sake. They plan no effective use of it but more commonly misuse. On the basis of these reasons many educational communities have forced the alienation of the student body and student government from the faculty and administration. The existence of this condition is usually the preface to irresponsible protesting and rioting. Therefore there is a need to re-exam­ ine these reasons, for I firmly believe that student involvement is not only necessary but is the key to a success­ ful educational community. 1. Discontinuity — I recognize the four-year career of the college student, but, because a person is here for a relatively short period of time does not mean that he could not contribute to the correct analysis or resolution of a prob­ lem. It only means he is not here to consider all problems. 2. Incompetency — Sure, the faculty and administration has more com­ petency because of their longer experience exposure with the campus problems, but the student is also competent enough to rec­ ognize problems and the basic shortcoming here is rather a mu­ tual incompetency to communi­ cate ideas and feelings. 3. Immaturity — Time nor age does not categorize a person’s maturity but rather his capability in hand­ ling problems of a mature level. Some students have found this easier to accomplish than many of the “more mature” administrators. 4. Limited time of the students—Ac­ tually students have more time than the faculty and administra­ tion because they are oriented on­ ly to the educational process while the latter have family, business, community, and many other inter­ ests. 5 and 6. Lack of authority and power-mindedness — Both are similar in that with authority and power comes a degree of responsibility. It is only a minority of students who have not accepted the re­ sponsibility as a necessary part of change. page / 19 �I would like to add that I am sym- SnouP^f^de- ized the Student Governs coming year.

I regard this letter as much more than an opportunity to communicate about our activities, to provoke some resourceful thinking, to exchange some ideas, rather than a chance to pontif­ icate, because I have the distinct feel­ ing that the Wilkes alumni ranks are filled with many well-informed and promisingly helpful people. Throughout the years, scholarships at Wilkes College — as in every insti­ tution of higher learning — have been a necessity. Without financial assist­ ance, many outstanding students would be unable to gain an education. Our graduate program cannot meet the needs of the 1970's without substantial annual gifts. What part has the alumni of our Col­ lege played in the support of these programs? The answer is a very dis­ appointing one. In 1968 only 14% of the 6,000 proud, flag-waving Colonel SU[_ supporters made contributions to this ■ stifiiHnn institution. I have come to one conclusion al­ ready, however. No dramatic innova­ tion will prove to be the panacea to the 1969 Wilkes College Annual Alum­ ni Appeal. It will be the cumulative result of just plain hard work. It will be successful because a large number ot enthusiastic participants will be sparked by enlightened self-interest; it will be successful because the Wilkes alumni will realize their responsibilities.

To maintain competitive relations with colleges having similar scholastic and athletic policies it is agreed that for each incoming class no more than two tuition scholarships per team may be granted to students who: 1. Need financial assistance; 2. Agree to participate in at least one intercollegiate sport; 3. Graduate in the upper two-fifths of their high school class; 4.

It wasn’t too long ago when every school wanted to schedule Wilkes Col­ lege for their annual homecoming mas­ sacre, but now the story is almost quite the opposite. By winning their 29th straight vic­ tory over Lebanon Valley, the Colonels reached further milestones on their four-year rampage — their third con­ secutive unblemished 8-0 seasonal rec­ ord, fourth Middle Atlantic Conference crown in a row, and finally regaining the big one. The big one is the Lam­ bert Bowl, which is symbolic of East­ ern small college supremacy. After gaining the first bowl ever to be awarded in 1966, the Wilkesmen had to take a backseat to Wagner College last year, as the Seahawks breezed to a 9-0 record, just edging the Colonels in final bowl balloting. This season, after a close fight with Kings Point, the coveted award again returned to the Wilkes campus. The schools that made a habit of clobbering Wilkes season after season now cringe at the thought of schedul­ ing them for future seasons. Just what happened to the Colonels? Northeastern Pennsylvania has for the last 50 years held the proud dis­ tinction of being one of the football hotbeds of the nation. Many former coalcracker alumni still dot the many collegiate and professional football squads of the nation. At Wilkes Col­ lege, however, a winning season ap­ peared a memory of the past. _J The Greyhounds of Moravian College were the next victims on the Colonels' waiting list. Senior quarterback Rick Simonson, who had replaced Zakowski in the second quarter, found Joe Skvarla eight times to scuttle the punchless Hounds 40-0, Ted Yeager had his sec­ ond hundred-plus-yardage game, run­ ning the ball for 115 yards and two touchdowns.

The game was a lot closer than the final 31-3 score seemed to indicate. With previous losses coming by scores of 6-0 and 14-13, the high-flying Aggies seemed intent on knocking off the Schmidtmen. After a first-half defensive stand­ off the mauled Wilkesmen led 10-3. The game was close until the Aggies saw lightning strike for the second and third time in a space of a year. Last season Del Vai made the mistake of punting to Joe Wiendl and number 44 proceeded to run it back 67 yards for a touchdown and a 14-13 victory. In a space of ten minutes, Wiendl struck terror into the hearts of all Del Vai fans, breaking the game wide open with’ touchdown punt return gallops of 86 an[] 62 yards.

Piling up a 21-7 fourth-quarter lead, the Colonels had to hold on for dear life as the Bombers unleashed a torrid passing at­ tack to come within two points of sub­ duing the Wilkesmen. An Ithaca lastsecond drive was thwarted by a 39yard interception touchdown return by Jay Holliday, giving the Colonels a 2819 victory. Upsala, the last team to defeat the Schmidtmen, provided the opposition for the next contest. As usual, the Colonels scored early and first, but the initial counter proved to be the last as the Wilkesmen were stopped by an inspired Upsala defense. Wilkes saw their 9-0 lead evaporate to 9-7 in the fourth quarter. The closing play of the game was a 37-yard field goal attempt by a very capable Viking kicker. The attempt was short and wide and the Blue and Gold were thus destined to ride again. Coach Schmidt summed the whole situation by saying, "We were lucky to get out alive." page/ 28 The headline for victory number 27 was provided by Rick Simonson. Hav­ ing taken over for the injured Joe Zakowski, the field general had one of his finest games of the season, hitting 16 of 32 passes for 240 yards and a 28-0 conquest of Dickinson. Late in the third quarter the outcome of the game was still in doubt, until Joe Wiendl put everyone at ease with a 52-yard inter­ ception touchdown return. In the annual Alumni homecoming contest, the Gold Machine gave the old grads something to cheer about by an­ nihilating the visiting PMC Cadets. The outcome of the game was never in doubt as the charges of Roland Schmidt played relaxed football for the 34-0 whitewash. Rick Simonson had another big day hooking up with his favorite receiver Joe Skvarla for three touchdowns.

S' ' ' ffaculty, and ........ Students, alumni, the Board of Trustees participated in the program. Over 1000 people were in attendance at the impressive ceremony. Dean Thaddeus Seymour gave the main address which is reproduced here in the Decem­ ber ALUMNUS. Following this address Francis Michelini presented three candidates for the conferring of honorary degrees. Thaddeus Seymour was awarded Doctor of Humane Letters "in recognition of his concern for excellence in the teaching of communication skills." He was hooded by Stanko Vujica and Ben Fiester. Fred Hechinger was awarded Doctor of Humane Letters "in recognition of his excellence in communicating to the public an aware­ ness of education in our society." He was hooded by Ralph Rozelle and Fred Bellas. Eugene S. Farley was awarded the Doctor of Science "in recognition of his lifelong devotion Io Wilkes College and its Community." He was hooded by Charles Reif and Hugo Mailey. Following the Convocation the Board of Trustees held a dinner in honor of Dr. Farley in the new dining hall. Fred Hechinger, Education Editor of THE NEW YORK TIMES, gave the address which is reproduced here in the ALUMNUS following the dinner which was attended by 300 people. I count it a privilege to participate in this ceremony to dedicate the Eugene Shedden Farley Library. I offer my congratulations to those who devel­ oped the plans for this magnificent facility and my admiration for those who have made it a reality. I am moved to celebrate all that this new library stands for — books, ideas, the aspirations of the men and women who will study here, and, most of all, the orderly and rational process of ’learning which is ’ symbolized ....by a house of books. These are violent times, and violent ideas are astir across the land. Let us use this occasion to dedicate ourselves to the rational, reasonable processes by which peaceful men confront chal­ lenge and change. I believe that we have reached a point of crisis in American life which requires the dedication of each of us, particularly those engaged in the pro­ cess of higher education, whether we are students, teachers, administrators, or trustees. My text is a simple state­ ment of wisdom by Will Durant, whose life has been devoted to the study of man's earthly history and whose eyes have traveled across the whole panorama of western civiliza­ tion. He epitomized our present strug­ gle in these few words and warned, “hunger When foTorder liberty destroys order, the” will destroy liberty. and order have reached the point of open conflict, and the college campus has become the battleground for con­ frontation. The most cynical of cam­ pus radicals seek to destroy all that this new library stands for. I want to speak briefly about the stu­ dent revolt, and I do so as a battlescarred veteran who may qualify for several Oak Leaf Clusters. I have observed the approaching conflict for the past ten years from behind (fortunately never under) a dean's desk, where I have been picketed, sat-in on, and marched on. I have addressed a protest rally from the steps of the administra­ tion building, and I have scrubbed off paint from the pavement in front of my home. I think I understand the style of the would-be revolutionaries who have so successfully exploited the generous instincts of the academic community. I am sure that it is no surprise that I am utterly intolerant of the violent and coercive tactics with which young radicals have disrupted campus after campus. Their style is tactics; their mood is cynical; and their goal is po­ litical power. But it may be a surprise that I sympathize very much with the causes which they proclaim. I bought a book recently about the New Left, and the cover carried the message that “campus radicals are marching against racism, puntanism, militarism, All of us are too painfully familiar and bureaucracy.” Well Pm marching with the evidence that order has been against these things, too — as 1 dare ---*—say everyOne in this hall is — but to a strained to breaking in recent years. vio- different drummer.

I have tried to define what I con­ sider the most urgent problems facing American higher education today, and I have urged a collaborative effort on the part of all of us to solve them for ourselves. Edmund Burke, writing two hundred years ago, described the stakes in a few short sentences; “So­ ciety cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the con­ stitution of things that men of intem­ perate minds cannot be free. Their pas­ sions forge their fetters.” A pessimist would predict more passion and more fetters, but I con­ fess myself an optimist who puts his faith in peaceful men. I sense that the academic community has already re­ pudiated violence; that colleges are in­ creasingly sensitive and responsive to the needs and interests of their stuents; that there is emerging a new student leadership which is motivated by rationality and good will. May this new library stand as a symbol and an inspiration in the years ■ ahead. page / 33 . �An Address by Fred M.

Wilkes College received much praise because of the turnout for the luncheon. There were over 100 persons in the Wilkes College delegation (pictured below leaving), the largest delegation present. The Hub, the First National Bank of Wilkes-Barre, Laz­ arus, and the Frank Martz Coach Company volunteered to send any football player that was able to attend the luncheon, in addition to the eighteen seniors who were scheduled to attend. Coach Rollie Schmidt gave special recognition to the seniors in the course of his remarks for their academic achievements as well as their diligence on the gridiron. Dr. Farley paid tribute to Rollie and the coaching staff in addition to the team. The rest of the delegation was made up of parents of the football players, faculty, administrators, alumni, and friends. All alumni in the New York City area received notification of the luncheon. Delaware Valley Ahmni Renmion A buffet was held on Saturday, October 12, 1968, for the Wilkes College alumni, faculty, and friends following the Delaware Valley football game. The event was held at the Jug-In-The-Wall of the Doylestown Inn. There were about forty in attendance. Douglas MacNeal '48 handled the arrangements.

Mine water pools in Wyoming Valley can be cited as good examples. For example, one pool in the Nanticoke area contains approximately 15 billion gallons of alkaline water. If this water were aerated to remove iron it would improve the quality of streams it was discharged into. On the other hand, a mine water pool in the Alden area, which contains approximately 11 billion gallons of water, is decidedly acid. Discharge of this water into streams of the Common­ wealth would result in a chemical re­ action between the acid in the mine water and alkaline material in streams. Destruction of alkalinity would result in a lower pH value (pH being a meas­ ure of acidity; lower pH values indi­ cate more acidity), and production of an environment in water which may not support life. If this happened, a fish kill would result. Mine drainage which is acid and, if untreated, polluting has been the ob­ ject of study at Wilkes College for the last four years. Research projects were sponsored by the Pennsylvania Coal Research Board, and the Public Health Service and Federal Water Pollution Control Agency. Both research investi­ gations have produced significant results. Mine drainage which is acid is pro­ duced by combined action of Iron Py­ rite [fools’ gold), oxygen, water, and bacteria in mines. Removal of any of these would halt acid mine drainage production. However, as a result of complex chemical reactions, acid is produced and the iron in pyrite is placed in solution in the form of ions. Not only is the acid polluting, but also when the iron is exposed to oxygen in streams, it is oxidized and precipitates forming “yellow boy," which is clearly visible, and more acid. Other materials such as aluminum and manganese may be detrimental if they exist in large quantities, but the two major problems in treating acid mine water in this re­ gion are removal of acid and iron. Research sponsored by the Coal Re­ search Board centered on the use of ozone (a highly reactive form of oxy­ gen) to oxidize iron and hence aid in its removal from mine drainage. This method proved very effective but was considered economical only for remov­ al of lower quantities of iron which may otherwise be difficult to remove. However, the economics were based on production of ozone by electrical discharge through oxygen, such as oc­ curs during an electrical storm. Investigators at Brookhaven Nation­ al Atomic Energy Laboratory have shown recently that oxygen in water may be converted to ozone by use of a nuclear reactor. Thus possibilities exist for using nuclear energy for treatment. Brookhaven and Wilkes College are undertaking joint investigations on a pilot plant scale as a result of the orig­ inal results of the Coal Research Board study and the findings at Brookhaven, Research on the Public Health Service-sponsored study produced a math­ ematical model for controlling mine drainage pollution by regulating the amount of acid and alkaline water in­ teracting in the Susquehanna River Ba­ sin at any one time. Dams on both acid and alkaline feed streams could regu­ late the flow. The model can be used to predict water quality at any point in the river as a result of this regula­ tion. Although continuing research on mine drainage is and will be carried on, the investigations at Wilkes have made contributions toward solving the overall acid mine drainage problem. page/3 �the SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS IMPRqv PROJECT I SMIPI: A PROGRAM TO UPqr.

In addition to the above-mentioned activities, the staff has engaged throughout the life of the program in general consulting with the schools on any problems that might arise.

The mechanism of a reaction involves the individual motions atoms un­ dergo during the course of a chem­ ical reaction. By understanding reaction mechanisms, the scientist is able to adapt a given reaction to make important new compounds. Of special interest is a study of the mechanism of ther­ mal and photochemical reaction. Photochemistry is most familiar through the action of photosynthe­ sis, whereby plants absorb light en­ ergy and transform it through the action of various chlorophyll pig­ ments into chemical energy. The chemical energy can then be used by the plant cells to provide the energy necessary for the synthesis of complex biological molecules (growth). Light Energy Changes Organic Molecules Similarly, in the laboratory, organic molecules can be made to undergo changes in structure when w L ji SB. Dr. John Labows at work in Wilkes College laboratory. subjected to light energy. This is usually done by using a mercury arc lamp, which provides high en­ ergy ultraviolet radiation. When a simple organic molecule such as benzene, is exposed to this ultravi­ olet light, it absorbs energy and, thus, exists in a high energy or ex­ cited state. In such a state, it can be made to undergo interesting molec­ ular rearrangements or other reac­ tions with other molecules to form more complex molecular structures. Also, it is of interest to study the effects of high temperature (as high as 500 degrees centigrade, for in­ stance) on molecular structure. Such extreme temperatures provide new synthetic routes to complicated molecules which have not been pre­ viously synthesized. These synthetic molecules found in such reactions created by high temperatures and ultraviolet light are then analyzed by special infra­ red and nuclear magnetic resonance instruments, which are available in the Wilkes College Laboratory. Results of the work are then pub­ lished in scientific journals and may facilitate the synthesis of biologically important molecules, which are vital in this processing of the increasing number of synthetic products on the American market. Outside Support for Research Projects In addition to the study of the mechanism of chemical reactions at Wilkes, the Petroleum Research Fund, administered by the Ameri­ can Chemical Society, and the National Science Foundation are supporting research work on the structure of communication sys­ tems of arthropods, such as insects, beetles and millepeds. The main vehicle for communica­ tion among these small creatures involves chemicals. The chemical messages are divided into two types: (1) communication within the same species, where chemicals serve as sex attractions, alarm sys­ tems and territorial and trail mark­ ings, and (2) communication be­ tween different species where chemicals serve defensive purposes in a type of chemical warfare. The classical example of a de­ fensive secretion is the spray of a skunk. Among arthropods, chemi­ cal defenses comparable to that of the skunk are widespread. In fact, the vocabulary of protective chem­ ical signals possessed by these or­ ganisms may be one of the richest in the entire world of life, and scientists now are beginning to understand a small part of this vast domain, thanks to research comparable to that being done by Wilkes College Chemistry Department. page / 7 �R Wilkes College CondUctS Study of 25 Lakes in Nearby Region A PROPOSED PROGRAM TO PREPARE FILMSTRIPS ON REGIONAL GEOLOGY FOR EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE COURSES by Dr. Alvan Bruch and Kathryn A.

Associate Professor of Physics Bodies of Water Among This Area's Most Valuable Resources with Data Needed to Better Utilize Assets Dr. Charles B. Reif, chairman of the Wilkes College Department of Biol­ ogy, prepares an analysis of a water specimen, which he is pouring into a millepore filter, in connection loith further study of a small relative of the lobster called Daphnia. Barre several times during the Pleisto­ cene Epoch.

Teaching Problems in the Earth and Space Science Courses I There is today increased emphasis on earth and space science in the pub­ lic schools across the nation. This is due, at least in part, to the growing problem of pollution of air and water and to the NASA space program. At any rate, the demand for teachers trained in the earth and space sciences far exceeds the supply and in many states the need is being filled by any­ one with a science major or, in ex­ treme cases, a science minor. Admin­ istrators seem to think that because the subject matter is environmental, any educated person who knows the scientific method can intelligently guide children through the course. Their reasoning may be correct in principle, but it fails to take into ac­ count several factors in the school sit­ uation that we believe make it difficult for even the teacher who is well pre­ pared in the earth and space sciences to teach the subject effectively. These factors tend to separate the student and the phenomena he must study, which is outside the school — some­ times at a considerable distance. If these administrators would provide a little assistance, however, they could justify their assignments, increase the effectiveness of both experienced and inexperienced earth and space science teachers, and meet a demand which is not unreasonable in this day — that public schools provide instruction in that area of growing concern, the en­ vironment of man. The geology unit of the earth and space science course pro­ vides a good example of the type of assistance that can be provided. Teaching Problems in the Geology Unit Geology is the scientific account of the development of the earth from the earliest recorded events to the present. The record is, of course, not in learned books but on the face of the earth. A first course must deal with this record, at least in part. That is to say, the stu­ dent must be familiar with the data be­ fore he is introduced to the scientific account. There are two ways to give him visual experience in this presenta­ tion of the geologic record. One is the field trip directly to the side of that part of the record to be studied; the other is the use of pictures — films, slides, and filmstrips. The field trip has the force of personal involvement and would be the natural choice of any teacher; and, once he had learned where the interesting phenomena were located, the inexperienced teacher would no doubt find he could guide the children through the observation intelligently. However, the field trip is not practical in most school situations: too much advanced planning is neces­ sary, poor weather may force a can­ cellation, the total classroom time lost may be excessive, the most rewarding observations are often in the most haz­ ardous locations, and the student-toteacher ratio which might be satisfac- tory in the classroom is unacceptable in the field. Films, slides, and filmstrips provide indirect visual experience without per­ sonal involvement. Many excellent ex­ amples are available and, judiciously selected, they may be used to provide a full survey of the field. However, economic considerations dictate that these visual aids have no regional characteristic that would limit their commercial value. Thus, several prob­ lems arise: 1) there is no possibility for personal involvement in the obser­ vation; 2) there is no basis for selec­ tion for the inexperienced teacher; 3) detail and relevance must be supplied by the teacher who too often does not have adequate background. If the teacher has sufficient back­ ground, he can bias the selection of material toward his interest and train­ ing. This will always be the satisfac­ tory basis for a meaningful course. An­ other satisfactory basis for selection of material is bias toward what is nearby, and this might even serve well the ad­ equately trained teacher. For the inad­ equately prepared teacher, it is the only reasonable basis for selection. Without such a criteria, the alterna­ tive is to show it all. This is, in fact, what is most commonly done, at least in the region in which the authors have studied the problem. The result is a rather steady march through the en­ cyclopedic pages of the text with visu­ al aids used without clear point or emphasis. Detail and relevance are lost in the press to get through it all. The student finds his interest and attention decreasing as the number of things he must commit to memory increases. The natural inquisitiveness he initially brought to the earth and space science class has been suppressed by an ava­ lanche of facts he cannot relate to. page / 9 �some thing for the amateur.

Proposed Solution to the Problems of the Geology Unit Life of Cells Studied In Wilkes Laboratory Dr. Robert E. Ogren Associate Professor of Biology It was once said by Disraeli, "The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do." So it is with the cell biolo­ gist. The reason for doing basic studies, according to Dr. Robert E. Ogren of the Wilkes College Biol­ ogy Department, is "to advance knowledge.” The more that is known about life of any kind, the more man will be able to under­ stand his own life and health. The cell biology laboratory at Wilkes represents an awareness that life depends upon the health of cells. The more that is known about the life of cells, the more will be known about the life of humans. Does a cell biology laboratory have any particular significance for Wyoming Valley? Of course it does. It can and does give technical ad­ vice on microscopical and biologi­ cal problems to other laboratories and education institutions. It pro­ vides a laboratory for professors and students to learn. Its awareness of new advancements gives aid to other interested persons. Advance Training Through the National Science Foundation Summer Institute, it provides advanced supplementary training for teachers of science in secondary schools. The college's re­ search into the microstructure of living things results in publications distributed throughout the world thus making Wyoming Valley bet- ter known. There are, of course, other laboratories in the Valley do­ ing diagnosis and research along medical lines associated with our hospitals. However, the Wilkes lab­ oratory is unusual. It is one of the few in the world where a small tapeworm embryo is being used as a basis for cell studies. iments. He needs a good library. At Wilkes he has the recently com­ pleted Eugene Shedden Farley Li­ brary, fully staffed and experienced in obtaining publications needed for research.

DR. THOMAS J. MIZIANTY Assistant Professor of Biology A series of three lectures delivered at Muhlenberg Col­ lege, Allentown, Pa., on February 10, 11, 12, 1969 at the annual Institute of Faith program entitled, "From the Hands of the Scientist, Deliver Us, Good Lord?". Lecture Number One THE ETHICAL BASIS OF BIOLOGY It is customary to begin a lecture with the presenta­ tion of a joke. With this, say those who are experts in the art of public speaking, you put the audience at ease, permit an air of joviality, and if the talk is an after din­ ner speech, help, I suppose, to aid in digestion. But to joke is entirely alien to the nature and purpose of this series of lectures. It is my purpose to arouse you to a sense of awareness, concern, shame, fright, and hope­ fully, action. We will not be speaking of pleasant things. If at times these lectures sound like the classic fire and brimstone sermons, they are intentionally designed so because, if one cannot be motivated by brotherly love, at least one can be activated by fear. These lectures are a distillation of a course that is offered at Wilkes College for the non-science major. It is our intention to acquaint these students with enough facts of biology so that they may qualify as scientific literates, and also to impress them with the fact that science is relevant to their lives and futures as ordinary citizens. My colleague, Dr. Don­ ald Tappa, will be here tomorrow to aid in our discus­ sions. Another colleague, upon hearing that I was sched­ uled to give a series of lectures, asked regarding their nature. When I told him that I would be speaking about the ethical basis of science, he said that, in effect, I would be, to paraphrase a German idiom, "feeding the horse the same old hay". This is an attitude that is quite common among professional people and students, and, it is an attitude which is one of the roots of the present crisis. Crisis? Yes, I said crisis! We are living in a revolu­ tion, a revolution that will change drastically our pat­ terns of life — and most people are not aware of it. We have had industrial revolutions, scientific revolutions, and now, we are in a biological revolution. Biologists are only dimly aware of it themselves! There are in the world about 200,000 biologists, each of them pursuing his own specialty without regard to the movement of the entire field. Only occasionally does a prophet arise to distinguish the forest from the trees and present to the biological community the direction in which it is headed. These prophets at present recommended courses of action to governmental agencies. These agencies rare­ ly responded. If then there is professional and political neglect, one can hardly blame the public for its neglect. Moralists also can be included in this category, but theirs is a particularly sad lot. So far behind in their knowledge of what biology is doing, they cannot, therefore, com­ ment on the morality of what is happening. They will be forced to change their ideas before they can adequate­ ly study them. Science will simply sweep them off their feet like some gigantic tidal wave, and if they wish to organize an opposing force, it will have to be of such a magnitude which knows no precedent in history. Since a great many theologians are still debating the thirteenth century, I doubt that this can happen. Gordon Rattray Taylor calls this revolution The Biological Time Bomb, the title of his recent book. Physics in the first half of this century underwent such a rapid growth of knowl­ edge, much of it under the cloak of governmental secre­ cy, that it brought into the world the atomic bomb. No one ever asked the moralists or the public for their per­ mission to enter the nuclear age. It was only after the fact, and after the horrible use of this knowledge in war­ fare that the public became concerned about the uses of atomic energy. Likewise, much of the work in biology is unheralded and secret, and soon a biological bomb (and Taylor means bomb in the allegorical sense) will explode in our society. Let me digress a moment and build a little historical background. The scientific method arose in challenge to systems of authoritarian knowledge. Its chief tool is the experimental test, repeatable hence predictable, con­ firmed by others as objective fact. The scientific method gets down to brass tacks. It leaves alone questions that are unanswerable and it concerns itself with that which is answerable according to its own methods. This ap­ proach has been remarkably successful. It has been a brash approach looked upon with disdain by other aca­ demic disciplines. Ninety percent or so of all scientists who ever existed are alive today. It is quite easy to un­ derstand that there is a knowledge explosion. Whereas in the early days of science discoveries were centuries apart, important advances now occur daily. Coupled with this is the scientific emphasis on efficiency. The ordinary person in reaction to all of this develops an in­ feriority complex. There is simply too much to know. It takes years of specialized training to understand even basic concepts and to acquire the skills necessary for efficient productivity in the sciences. This attitude may have permeated society and created, some complain, a depersonalized world with an emphasis on facts. Facts are important because facts are practical. The truth be­ comes scientific fact. That is true which can be proven to be true. Religion, once the queen of sciences, has been dethroned.

So obsessed by truth, as the stereotype goes the scientist forgets all moral principles, and we have literature's Dr. Jekylls and Dr. Frankensteins. To counter this mistaken notion, Dr. Jacob Bronowski has taken up the challenge of restoring science's good name. In Sci­ ence and Human Values, he analyzes the scientists search for truth in terms of its effects on ethical sys­ tems. The body of scientists is a society based upon the principle of truth. We should inspect this society more closely to see if it can serve as a model for the rest of society. The men and women who practice science make up a company of scholars that has been more lasting than any modem state, and yet has evolved as no church has. The fellowship of scientists is free, uninhibited and communicative. From this pursuit of truth flow other values which include independence in observation and thought with the usual result being a variety of opinions. In any growing area of science, hypotheses abound and until the principle is proven conclusively, many schools of thought exist. This means that dissent is absolutely necessary in science but it is a disciplined type of dis­ sent, one that must follow the rules of the game of sci­ ence. The society of scientists must be a democracy, one in which many are able to practice, and upon which is based a tolerance of the work and opinions of others. Science respects those who have contributed to its for­ mation even though their theories are not presently held. Science is kind to its fallen heroes, they are not ignored as heretics, or forced to recant under threat of excom­ munication, nor has any scientist ever been shot exiled or convicted as is quite probable in a political state This does not sound like the image of science that we are used to. Instead it is a positive one, endorsing all those values traditionally regarded as humanistic ones Bro­ nowski points out that science flourished in two agesancient Greece and the period since the Renaissance’ These were periods that brought forth democratic so­ ciety. The correlation between the growth in science and gr°Mh in democracy is more than merely coinci­ dental. The scientific spirit is akin to the longing for freedom and justice. Science has nothing to be fshtmed in its basic nature. Applications of scientific knowl edge by governments and other self interested Ln •’ by far the major question. Dr. Bronowski's thelis was a valiant defense by a scientist-humanist, There ar few of these. C. P.

Biologists have taken the first steps leading to the conclusions out­ lined and they are meeting remarkable success. Each new advance is heralded as a step in the right direction. In 1965, Charles Price, President of the American Chemica Society, suggested that the creation of life be declare a national goal. Fortunately or unfortunately, his sug gestion was not adopted. , Let me pause here again so I can weave a new t rea into the fabric of these lectures. Taylor's time sea seems to indicate that the future will be determined oy the advance of science, that all these things will c°!?a t pass. Yet, many biologists feel that mankind W1 survive the present century. There are factors at W which will limit the scientists in their researches a which will limit ourselves. They are just as bio but stem from neglect rather than planning. e cjen_ not turn our attention to the moral sensitivity O 5 tists but to the sensitivity of the average person. One hundred years ago a man by the name of Charles Darwin proposed a theory of evolution. Although most people now give tacit approval, very few have an under­ standing of what Darwin tried to say. One hundred years without Darwin is enough! The essential blow of Darwinism attacks the human ego. The religious roman­ tic fallacies which have placed man in control of crea­ tion, with animals and plants subject to his command, and which has supplied him with the view that he is some link between the world of protoplasm and the world of spirit prohibit man from fully accepting Dar­ win. To accept this view of evolution, man must view himself as a creature subject to the same laws of nature as other living forms, of having his origins among them, and the view that man is not an essential member of the biosphere. To an egotist, this is a big mouthful to swal­ low. Darwin did not speak of his idea as humbling, he spoke of grandeur in his view of life, of biological forms being most wonderful and beautiful. He pointed to ev­ olution as a process; a process which continues to work today. There is indeed a nobility in the fact that man is aware of the process which shapes him. Unlike the rab­ bit or the oak tree which lives and dies and has no knowledge of the vast scheme which has given them their chance at existence, man can perceive the vast cos­ mic process. Sir Charles Lyell, founder of modern geol­ ogy and friend of Darwin, likened this ability to that of the Spirit, which the poets say, animates the universe. This can hardly be described as a degrading view of man. The question before man now is; faced with the knowl­ edge that man has an evolutionary future, what can man do to plan for that future? So far, we have done little planning. We worry if we can correct in time our past mistakes. The evolution which formed us was an entire­ ly mechanistic process. No body was consulted to see if man would make a nice addition to the earthly scene. We are here as a result of an amoral process. Will we stay here? The new evolution will be moral because what we do or do not do will affect our chances of sur­ vival. If we can agree that survival of our race is a moral good and extinction a moral evil, a code of ethics can be based upon this norm. I am not the first to propose this; for it is a basic tenet of a philosophy called evolutionary humanism advanced by such distinguished gentlemen as Sir Julian Huxley and George Gaylord Simpson. Failure to follow this philosophy will certainly mean extinction, a most unusual aspect of this philosophical system. To­ morrow I will take a closer look at man's evolutionary problems and on Wednesday I will say a few words placing them into the Christian perspective. Lecture Number Two EUGENICS, EUTHENICS, AND EUTHENICS IN THE SHAPING OF MAN'S FUTURE Yesterday, we placed an emphasis on man's future. Shall he neglect his evolutionary future, shall he control it intelligently, or shall it fall into a third category, that of diabolical control? The issue may soon be forced, per­ haps within the next twenty years. There are a number of trends that so indicate this. The first that we shall consider is that of the population explosion. Surely, this should not be unfamiliar to us. We have all heard of Thomas Malthus and he published his Essay on Popula­ tion before Darwin about 150 years ago. Modern day news media have presented the public with much infor­ mation. The information has been available. But, yet, we seem to think that it is not at all that serious, that there is plenty of land still available. Most of western U.S.A, is barren wasteland and it would take a modern pioneer of stout heart to settle there. Most of the Amer­ ican population is concentrated in three megalopolises; one extending from Boston to Richmond, Va., on the east coast, another in the Great Lakes region, and a third on the west coast. These areas are overpopulated and ex­ hibit all the ills and symptoms of social congestion. Far beyond the borders of the United States, the rates of in­ crease in other parts of the world are staggering. If you have ever seen a graph which plots the numbers of peo­ ple living in the world versus the periods of human his­ tory, the rate of rise in this century is best described as exponential. People with mathematical leanings should get a clear picture. Asia and South America exhibit the greatest increases. These rapidly expanding populations consist of people who are still young, therefore, having their reproductive years ahead of them; they are poor and unable to care for their families; and they are for the most part illiterate, unable to cope with the nature of their problem and unable to communicate with others in an attempt to solve it. If we speak of education as a remedy and think it is really our only solution, we are engaging in high flights of fancy. There is no time to undertake the massive educational program and have it become effective before famine strikes. I am not saying that we should give up educational attempts but it will not save us at the last minute from disaster. We will see millions upon millions of people die because they have no food. When Pope Paul spoke to the United Nations, he said that we should not cut down the number of those who feast at the table of life but rather increase the amount of food on the table. This statement may be poetic but it is certainly unrealistic. Increased technology may temporarily relieve the problem but continuously rising birth rates will obliterate any technological ad­ vance. This does not attack the problem at its roots. Birth rates will have to go down or death rates rise. The moral choice seems plainly simple. Birth rates must go down and this means birth control. What will it be like living in a world in which millions of men, women and children will be undergoing the agony of starvation? Famine may not hit the United States as early as 1975. We need not fear ourselves being left to this horrible fate. I wonder if even when famine strikes other areas of the world, will we have learned our lesson? The news reports will come in, but after station identification we will soon forget about the problems of other people. I am not joking. How many of us really care about the starving people of Biafra? How do those pictures of starving children with their huge eyes, sorrowful faces, and bulging stomachs really move us today. These are tokens of things to come. I can envision a situation aris­ ing in which some organization, powerful enough and world encompassing, would have to, after the human population had taken a tremendous beating, take control (continued on page 30) page / 15 page / 14 �The Search for anol Development of SI Professional Public Accountant by Robert S. Capin, CPA The author presents an excellent "picture-window" look into the internal structure, recruiting and training policies of the small, medium sized, and large CPA firms. professo, at Robert S. Capin, CPA, is a professor Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, where he has taught full time since 1959. He has had supervision of the Wilkes Accounting Internship Program since 1960. In order to evaluate the performance of the students, visitations are made throughout the country to the offices where students are interning. He is a member of the Pennsylvania Institute of CPAs, the AICPA, the American Accounting Association and NAA. The tremendous and rapid growth of the accounting profession currently poses a manpower shortage, and with­ in the very near future this shortage will become acute. It is therefore in­ cumbent upon the profession to search for solutions by continuing to analyze the structure of the profession, the em­ ployer, and the professional staff. It is also necessary to study those factors that now affect and will affect the profession in the future, so that adjustments may be made where necessary; namely in pre-professional and post education, salaries, turnover, state laws governing entry into the profes­ sion and recruiting policies and prac­ tices. These problems, as they relate to public accounting, will be considered in this paper. Growth of the Profession At present there are approximately 600,000 accountants in the United States, of which approximately 100,000 are Certified Public Accountants. Avail­ able data indicates that the number of accountants has at least doubled every 10 years for the past 40-year period. The following figures disclose the rap­ id growth in the past and projections for the next 12 years. page / 16 Demand continues to outrun supply Igoo—Less than 50 public account­ ants listed in all the larger and the demands of the 197O's will cities of England and Scot­ cause this gap to widen.

The Structure of the Employer Accountants have the opportuni y working in public practice (i.e.. s”’ medium, or national accounting or becoming an individual practition­ er], for industry, for government, or teaching primarily at the college and university level. Are there advantages of one over the other? A brief analysis of the public, private, and government sectors of accounting is important be­ fore moving to the other areas of dis­ cussions. Following this analysis, the other areas of discussion will be lim­ ited to the public accounting sector. The Large C.P.A. Firm The large CPA firms are often re­ ferred to as the “Big Eight." In alpha­ betical order they are: Arthur Ander­ sen & Co.; Ernst & Ernst; Haskins & Sells; Lybrand, Ross Bros. & Montgom­ ery; Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co.; Price Waterhouse & Co.; Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart; and Arthur Young & Company. Other ranking national firms are Laventhol, Krekstein, Horwath & Horwath; S. D. Leidesdorf & Co.; Alex­ ander Grant & Co.; Hurdman & Cranstoun; Seidman & Seidman; Main Lafrentz & Co.; Clarence Rainess & Co.; J. K. Lasser & Co. and Harris, Kerr, & Forster? The large firm primarily deals with large company clients; how­ ever, medium size and smaller clients are also served. The large firm offers a more formal training program, and indeed, insists that staff men participate. In addition, the firm helps the young staff men pass the CPA examination by offering spe­ cial courses geared for the examina­ tion. Although the large firm has a sophis­ ticated personnel department, the very size of the firm prevents the staffman from getting to know many of his coworkers. Large firms offer the opportunity for attaining the partnership level within the firm. On the other hand, large firms also make available opportunities with clients for staffmen who feel that they have reached their highest level with the firm, or consider the position with private industry a substantial advance­ ment. In the latter case, both the large public accounting firm and the em­ ployee are satisfied because the em­ ployee has advanced himself, and the public accounting firm knows that it has one of "its own boys" working for a client. The Medium Size Firm The medium size firm serves clients of various sizes and permits the young staffman to assume greater responsi- bility at an earlier stage in his career. Closer working relationships, both within the firm and with clients, are developed because the structure is less formal than the large firm. Partnership opportunities in this size firm are good, especially for one who can bring new clients to the firm. Ex­ perience acquired in a practice of this size opens doors" for varied positions with other public accounting firms, in­ dustry, or self-practice. The Small Firm The small firm offers the opportunity to become involved with all areas of accounting and taxation within a very short time after joining the staff. How­ ever, the caliber of work may not be as sophisticated as that of the medium or large firm. Because the number of staffmen may be very limited, many of the jobs will be conducted alone or with one assistant. The opportunity for partnership ex­ ists; however, it may very well be predicated upon bringing new clients into the firm. Private Accounting In most cases, the fledgling account­ ant in private accounting begins his career as a trainee. He will probably receive additional job-oriented school­ ing, and will certainly receive on-thejob training. He will probably be as­ signed to a specific job (i.e. cost ac­ counting, budgeting, etc.) rather than one that is all-encompassing in nature, and may remain at the job for a period of time and then move on to the next assignment. Advancement in these firms is rela­ tively slow; however, excellent posi­ tions (i.e. controllerships) may develop if the person has the ability and is willing to wait long enough. He may, in fact, become an executive of the company in due time. Government Accounting Practically every government agen­ cy is searching for accountants. The shortage is so great that the govern­ ment will permit an almost unlimited number of aliens to enter this country to fill the available positions. In fact, Robert Half Personnel Agencies, Inc., the nation's largest agency specializing in financial and accounting personnel, is opening an office in Great Britain for the main purpose of recruiting Brit­ ish accountants for the United States? In recent years many of the state and federal agencies have been en­ gaged in upgrading their professional staff. They have hired many people who have passed the CPA examina­ tion, and have encouraged those who have not passed the examination to study and ultimately take the examin­ ation. Much of the work in these agencies involves examination of financial data and a critical management analysis of operations where government money is being spent. These examinations are conducted to test the effectiveness of the particular agency, and to confirm that services being rendered by out­ side firms are being performed in ac­ cordance with contract stipulations. Staff size will vary according to the size of the agency. The largest em­ ployers of accountants are the U.S. In­ ternal Revenue Service and the U.S. General Accounting OfficeStarting salaries are competitive with medium-size private concerns; however, maximum salaries are not as high. An important factor is that job­ security in government work is much greater than in private industry, and the pressure from top management is not as great. Structure of Professional Staff Rank Every effective organization at­ tempts to assign responsibility by es­ tablishing a table of organization. This is accomplished in public accounting firms by designating rank to the pro­ fessional staff based upon experience, assignment of responsibility, and lon­ gevity. Typical staff categories in the large firms are as follows: Assistant Semi-Senior Senior (after approximately 2 to 4 years’ experience) Manager (after approximately 4 to 7 years' experience) Partner (after approximately 10 to 15 years' experience) (Average age of partners in the large accounting firms 1965, 1966, and 1967 was 37-38 years)7 Some large firms use the designation “supervisor” which would fit between senior and manager, and the designation "principal" which would fit be­ tween manager and partner. Obviously, the formality of staff rank is not as great in the medium size and small firms.

Coach John Reese got good traction out of his squad as team members fired out to 103 match wins against 19 defeats. The Blue and Gold’s only loss of the vear came at the hands of the War­ riors of Lycoming College, 15-14. The Reesemen recorded big triumphs over such perennial nemises as Springfield, 27-0; New York Maritime, 17-16, and East Stroudsburg, 22-8. Probably the top wrestling performance in Colonel history was chronicled by senior captain Joe Wiendl. The Wilkes Mr. Athlete posted a fine 15-0 dual record which boosted his lifetime output to an eyecatching 49-1. The 160pound matman became the third Wilkes wrestler in history to ever cap­ ture a Wilkes Open crown.

Another Colonel faring well in the “Rose Bowl of Wrestling" was 115. pounder Andy Matviak. The Easton bred bomber became the second Wilkes winner in record pages of the tourney by virtue of an 11-7 comefrom-behind victory over Jim Fiore of Temple. In the second period of the match Matviak had been behind, 6-0. The Middle Atlantic Conference wrestling championship trophy re­ turned to the Wilkes campus after a one-year lapse and for the eighth time as the Reesemen captured the crown at the Conference championships at Muhlenberg College. The Blue and Gold were aided in their championship quest by staunch performances from John Marfia, Dennis Verzera, and Joe Wiendl, who all emerged as titlehold­ ers in the 130, 145, and 160-pound classes, respectively. Wilkes replaced Temple as the team champion. The Colonels had won the crown in 1966 and 1967. Fresh from regaining the MAC title, the Wilkesmen traveled to San Luis Obispo, California, to participate in the NCAA College Division Tournament. The trip was financed by friends, fac­ ulty, alumni, and students who held a month-long campaign to raise $2,500 needed for the team’s expenses. Un­ fortunately, the change in climate proved too strong for the Colonels, as the charges of John Reese left the 20degree Wilkes-Barre freeze for the bal­ my 75-degree weather of sunny Cali­ fornia, which slowed down the squad. Joe Wiendl made the trip worth­ while by regaining the 160-pound championship. The Wilkes captain swept easily through the pairings, edg­ ing by Rick Arnold of Cal Poly 3-2 in the finals.

The record, however, does not tell the whole story. As in the past, the squad was hampered by a lack of practice facilities. To add to the year’s misery, the diving board at the YMCA broke during the Harpur meet, and the team was forced to forfeit diving events for the remainder of the home schedule. The Colonels’ only victory of the season came in an exciting 62-58 win over Philadelphia Textile. The outcome of the meet was decided in the final relay which Wilkes won. Key perform­ ances were turned in by senior co­ captain Pat Burke in the 200-yard backstroke’ and by freestyler Jim Phethean. With only two squad members be­ ing lost through graduation, the Wilkes aquamen should be vastly improved to meet opponents next year. studded career by finishing fifth at the NCAA University Championships at Provo, Utah.

It wasn’t too long ago when 3-17 and 2-20 rec­ ords were commonplace. The young mentor has finally succeeded in injecting a once hapless cage program with winning spirit. This year’s 13-11 log follows on the heels of the 12-11 mark of a year ago as the first winning season since the 1957-58 school year. To cite past rec­ ords, the back-to-back winning seasons have only been accomplished once be­ fore in the 23-year history of the sport at Wilkes. Again Rainey utilized a 1-2-2 zone defense to spread havoc among foes and instructed his team to run-run-run on offense. Midway in the season, after center Bob Ockenfuss sustained an in­ jury and reserve center, Rich Davis, was kept out of action on account of mononucleosis, the mentor was forced to card a starting lineup with only one player over the six-foot barrier and yet posted a 10-5 mark against squads well above the 6-2 average. Junior forward Herb Kemp again led the Wilkesmen in most statistical de­ partments. The Glenside native, who _____ weekwas named once to the All-East ly squad, led the team scoring effort with 401 points and a 16.7 average per contest. After a sparkling sophomore year the Colonel mainstay slumped in the rebounding column but still man­ aged to clear the nets for 10.7 re­ bounds per contest. Jay Reimel, soph­ omore playmaker, led in the assist department with 144, while fellow second-year man Bill “Wally" Umbach connected with 171 shots through the nets to establish himself as team lead­ er. Umbach was the second highest scorer for Wilkes with 379 counters while captain and the only senior Bill Ryan produced 304 scores. “Cowboy” Bill Grick, Reimel’s Montrose High teammate, complemented Reimel in the backcourt with 228 points and 86 assists. Trustees.. . presidents. . .faculty ... students, past and present: who governs this society that we call ‘the academic community’? r ■^he cry has been heard on many a campus this year. It came from the campus neigh­ borhood, from state legislatures, from cor­ porations trying to recruit students as em­ ployees, from the armed services, from the donors of funds, from congressional committees, from church groups, from the press, and even from the police: “Who’s in charge there?” Surprisingly the cry also came from “inside” the colleges and universities—from students and alumni, from faculty members and administrators, and even from presidents and trustees: “Who’s in charge here?” And there was, on occasion, this variation: “Who should be in charge here?” z^wtrange questions to ask about these highly X^. organized institutions of our highly organ. a?) ized society? A sign, as some have said, that our colleges and universities are hopelessly chaotic, that they need more “direction,” that they have lagged behind other institutions of our society in organizing themselves into smooth-running, efficient mechanisms? Or do such explanations miss the point? Do they overlook much of the complexity and subtlety (and perhaps some of the genius) of America’s higher educational enterprise? It is important to try to know. page/ 20 Here is one reason: ► Nearly 7-million students are now enrolled in the nation’s colleges and universities. Eight years hence, the total will have rocketed past 9.3-million. The conclusion is inescapable: what alTects our col­ leges and universities will affect unprecedented numbers of our people—and, in unprecedented ways, the American character. Here is another: ► “The campus reverberates today perhaps in part because so many have come to regard [it] as the most promising of all institutions for developing cures for society’s ills.” [Lloyd H. Elliott, president of George Washington University] Here is another: ► “Men must be discriminating appraisers of their society, knowing coolly and precisely what it is about society that thwarts or limits them and there­ fore needs modification. “And so they must be discriminating protectors of their institutions, preserving those features that nourish and strengthen them and make them more free.” [John W. Gardner, at Cornell University] But who appraises our colleges and universities? Who decides whether (and how) they need modify­ ing? Who determines what features to preserve; which features “nourish and strengthen them and make them more free?” In short: Who’s in charge there? �Who's in Charge-I The Trustees ■yi say the letter of the law, the I J charge of our colleges and universif 'n I the trustees or regents—25,000 r'eSare J according to the educated guess f principal national organization, the Associaf Governing Boards. 1011 of “In tl -atl°n ;n America. recentlyj I Copyright 1969 by Editorial Projects for Education, Inc. “trustees have seldom been cast in a heroic role.” for decades they have been blamed for whatever faults people have found with the nation’s colleges and universities. Trustees have been charged, variously, with representing the older generation, the white race, religious orthodoxy, political powerholders, business and economic conservatism—in short, The Estab­ lishment. Other critics—among them orthodox theologians, political powerholders, business and economic conservatives—have accused trustees of not being Establishment enough. On occasion they have earned the criticisms. In the early days of American higher education, when most colleges were associated with churches, the trustees were usually clerics with stern ideas of what should and should not be taught in a church-related institution. They intruded freely in curriculums, courses, and the behavior of students and faculty members. On many Protestant campuses, around the turn of the century, the clerical influence was lessened and often withdrawn. Clergymen on their boards of trustees were replaced, in many instances, by businessmen, as the colleges and universities sought trustees who could underwrite their solvency. As state systems of higher education were founded, they too were put under the control of lay regents or trustees. Trustee-faculty conflicts grew. Infringements of academic freedom led to the founding, in 1915, of the American Association of University Professors. Through the association, faculty members developed and gained wide acceptance of strong principles of academic freedom and tenure. The conflicts eased— but even today many faculty members watch their institution’s board of trustees guardedly. In the past several years, on some campuses, trustees have come under new kinds of attack. t> At one university, students picketed a meeting of the governing board because two of its members, they said, led companies producing weapons used in the war in Vietnam. > On another campus, students (joined by some faculty members) charged that college funds had been invested in companies operating in racially divided South Africa. The investments, said the students, should be canceled; the board of trustees should be censured. > At a Catholic institution, two years ago, most students and faculty members went on strike be­ cause the trustees (comprising 33 clerics and 11 lay- men) had dismissed a liberal theologian from the faculty. The board reinstated him, and the strike ended. A year ago the board was reconstituted to consist of 15 clerics and 15 laymen. (A similar shift to laymen on their governing boards is taking place at many Catholic colleges and universities.) ► A state college president, ordered by his trustees to reopen his racially troubled campus, re­ signed because, he said, he could not “reconcile effectively the conflicts between the trustees” and other groups at his institution. V ’YTOW DO MOST trustees measure up to I __ I their responsibilities? How do they react to the lightning-bolts of criticism that, -Z-^by their position, they naturally attract? We have talked in recent months with scores of trustees and have collected the written views of many others. Our conclusion: With some notable (and often highly vocal) exceptions, both the breadth and depth of many trustees’ understanding of higher education’s problems, including the touch­ iness of their own position, are greater than most people suspect. Many boards of trustees, we found, are showing deep concern for the views of students and are going to extraordinary lengths to know them better. In­ creasing numbers of boards are rewriting their by-laws to include students (as well as faculty members) in their membership. William S. Paley, chairman of cbs and a trustee of Columbia University, said after the student out­ breaks on that troubled campus: “The university may seem [to students] like just one more example of the establishment’s trying to run their lives without consulting them. ... It is essential that we make it possible for students to work for the correction of such conditions legitimate­ ly and effectively rather than compulsively and violently. . . . “Legally the university is the board of trustees, but actually it is very largely the community of teachers and students. That a board of trustees should commit a university community to policies and actions without the components of that com­ munity participating in discussions leading to such commitments has become obsolete and unworkable.” Less often than one might expect, considering some of the provocations, did we find boards of trustees giving “knee-jerk” reactions even to the most extreme demands presented to them. Not very long ago, most boards might have rejected such The role of higher education’s trustees often is misinterpreted and misunderstood �Ity. What part should it have in running the A college’s heart is its facto place'? predominantly in the greatness of its faculty. But faculties ... do not themselves build great faculties. To build great faculties, administrative leadership is essential.” Shortly after the start of this academic year, however, the American Council on Education re­ leased the results of a survey of what 2,040 ad­ ministrators, trustees, faculty members, and students foresaw for higher education in the 1970’s. Most thought “the authority of top administrators in making broad policy decisions will be significantly eroded or diffused.” And three out of four faculty members said they found the prospect “desirable.” Who’s in charge? Clearly the answer to that question changes with every passing day. TT TF T7™ IT ALL’ tbe job tbe Pres’^ent \\ J has grown to unprecedented propor%/ \\/ tions. The old responsibilities of lead- V V ing the faculty and students have proliferated. The new responsibilities of money­ raising and business management have been heaped on top of them. The brief span of the typical presi­ dency—about eight years—testifies to the roughness of the task. Yet a president and his administration very often exert a decisive influence in governing a college or university. One president can set a pace and tone that invigorate an entire institution. Another presi­ dent can enervate it. At Columbia University, for instance, following last year’s disturbances there, an impartial factfinding commission headed by Archibald Cox traced much of the unrest among students and faculty members to “Columbia’s organization and style of administration”: “The administration of Columbia’s affairs too often conveyed an attitude of authoritarianism and invited distrust. In part, the appearance resulted from style; for example, it gave affront to read that an influential university official was no more in­ terested in student opinion on matters of intense concern to students than he was in their taste for strawberries. “In part, the appearance reflected the true state of affairs. . . . The president was unwilling to sur­ render absolute disciplinary powers. In addition government by improvisation seems to have been not an exception, but the rule.” At San Francisco State College, last December, the leadership of Acting President S. I. Hayakawa, whether one approved it or not, was similarly de. cisive. He confronted student demonstratorised to suspend any faculty members or*^0111' -—3 or who disrupted the campus, reopened the instit under police protection, and then considered1'^ dissidents’ demands. t'le But looking ahead, he said, “We must eventual! put campus discipline in the hands of responsTi responsib], faculty and student groups who will work C co°peratively with administrations . . . .” TT yno’s in charge? “However the power \ l\ / mixture may be stirred,” says Dean VZ %/ W. Donald Bowles of American Uni▼ ▼ versity, “in an institution aspiring to quality, the role of the faculty remains central. No president can prevail indefinitely without at least the tacit support of the faculty. Few deans will last more than a year or two if the faculty does not approve their policies.” The power of the faculty in the academic ac­ tivities of a college or university has long been recog­ nized. Few boards of trustees would seriously con­ sider infringing on the faculty’s authority over what goes on in the classroom. As for the college or university president, he almost always would agree with McGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foun­ dation, that he is, “on academic matters, the agent and not the master of the faculty.” A joint statement by three major organizations representing trustees, presidents, and professors has spelled out the faculty’s role in governing a college or university. It says, in part: “The faculty has primary responsibility for such fundamental areas as curriculum, subject matter and methods of instruction, research, faculty status, and those aspects of student life which relate to the educational process. “On these matters, the power of review or final decision lodged in the governing board or delegated by it to the president should be exercised adversely only in exceptional circumstances. . . . The faculty sets the requirements for the degrees offered in course, determines when the requirements have been met, and authorizes the president and board to grant the degrees thus achieved. Faculty status and related matters are primarily a faculty responsibility. This area includes appoint­ ments, reappointments, decisions not to reappoint, promotions, the granting of tenure, and dismissa • • . . The governing board and president should, °n f questions of faculty status, as in other matters where the faculty has primary responsibility, concur with the faculty judgment except in rare instances and for compelling reasons which should be stated in detail. “The faculty should actively participate in the determination of policies and procedures governing salary increases. . . . “Agencies for faculty participation in the govern­ ment of the college or university should be estab­ lished at each level where faculty responsibility is present. . . .” Few have quarreled with the underlying reason for such faculty autonomy: the protection of aca­ demic freedom. But some thoughtful observers of the college and university scene think some way must be found to prevent an undesirable side effect: the perpetuation of comfortable ruts, in which individ­ ual faculty members might prefer to preserve the status quo rather than approve changes that the welfare of their students, their institutions, and society might demand. The president of George Washington University, Lloyd H. Elliott, put it this way last fall: “Under the banner of academic freedom, [the individual professor’s] authority for his own course has become an almost unchallenged right. He has been not only free to ignore suggestions for change, but licensed, it is assumed, to prevent any change he himself does not choose. “Even in departments where courses are sequen­ tial, the individual professor chooses the degree to Who’s in Charge-Ill The Faculty y 4 W.

Paley: “It has been my own observation that faculties tend to as­ sume the attitude that they are a detached ar­ bitrating force between students on one hand and administrators on the other, with no immediate responsibility for the university as a whole.” at least, faculty members seem to favor the idea of taking a greater part in governing their colleges and universities. In the American Council on Education’s survey of predictions for the 1970’s, 99 per cent of the faculty members who responded said such participation was “highly desirable” or “essential.” Three out of four said it was “almost certain” or “very likely” to develop. (Eight out of ten administrators agreed that greater faculty par­ ticipation was desirable, although they were con­ siderably less optimistic about its coming about.) In another survey by the American Council on Education, Archie R. Dykes—now chancellor of the University of Tennessee at Martin—interviewed 106 faculty members at a large midwestern univer­ sity to get their views on helping to run the in­ stitution. He found “a pervasive ambivalence in faculty attitudes toward participation in decision­ making.” Faculty members “indicated the faculty should have a strong, active, and influential role in de­ cisions,” but “revealed a strong reticence to give the time such a role would require,” Mr. Dykes re­ ported. “Asserting that faculty participation is es­ sential, they placed participation at the bottom of the professional priority list and deprecated their colleagues who do participate.” Kramer Rohfleisch, a history professor at San Diego State College, put it this way at a meeting of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities: “If we do shoulder this burden [of academic governance] to excess, just who will tend the academic store, do the teaching, and extend the range of human knowledge?” The report of a colloquium at Teachers College, New York, took a different view: “Future encounteis [on the campuses] may be even less likely of et in theory, 1-7 < which he will accommodate his course to others in the sequence. The question then becomes: What restructuring is possible or desirable within the context of the professor’s academic freedom?” A NOTHER PHENOMENON has af- A\ fected the faculty’s role f—\\ in governing the colleges -etL. J k and universities in recent years. Louis T. Benezet, president of the Claremont Graduate School and University Center, describes it thus: “Socially, the greatest change that has taken plac<:e on the____________________ American campus is the professionalization of the faculty. . . . The pattern of faculty activity both inside and outside the institution has changed accordingly. The original faculty corporation was the univer­ sity. It is now quite unstable, composed of mobile professors whose employment depends on regional or national conditions in their field, rather than on an organic relationship to their institution and even feculw011 tHr the PreSent difficulties unless both nersr^ tmember.S and students soon gain widened perspectives on issues of university governance.” . '▼’HO s IN charge? Today a new group / has burst into the picture: the colW w/ leSe and university students themv V selves. The issues arousing students have been numerous. Last academic year, a nationwide survey by Educa­ tional Testing Service found, the Number 1 cause of student unrest was the war in Vietnam; it caused protests at 34 per cent of the 859 four-year colleges and universities studied. The second most frequent cause of unrest was dormitory regulations. This year, many of the most violent campus demonstra­ tions have centered on civil rights. In many instances the stated issues were the real causes of student protest. In others they provided excuses to radical students whose aims were less the correction of specific ills or the reform of their col­ leges and universities than the destruction of the political and social system as a whole. It is impor­ tant to differentiate the two, and a look at the dramatis personae can be instructive in doing so. W at the left—the “New Left,” not to be con/\\ fused with old-style liberalism—is Stuf \\ dents for a Democratic Society, whose -A. J_V leaders often use the issue of university reform to mobilize support from their fellow students and to “radicalize” them. The major concern of sds is not with the colleges and universities per se, but with American society as a whole. “It is basically impossible to have an honest university in a dishonest society,” said the chairman of sds at Columbia, Mark Rudd, in what was a fairly representative statement of the sds attitude. Last year’s turmoil at Columbia, in his view, was im­ mensely valuable as a way of educating students and the public to the “corrupt and exploitative” nature of U.S. society. “It’s as if you had reformed Heidelberg in 1938,” an sds member is likely to say, in explanation of his philosophy. “You would still have had Hitler’s Germany outside the university walls.” The sds was founded in 1962. Today it is a loosely organized group with some 35,000 members, on about 350 campuses. Nearly everyone who has studied the sds phenomenon agrees its members are highly idealistic and very bright. Their idealism has ‘Student fowed has many meanings, as theyoung seek a role in college governance �3 Attached to a college (intellectually> enwtwnally) and detached (physicallyf alumni can be a gteat and healthy force - ■ W -■ i 1 ■•.-F ■ K ?"■ ?\ C../; led them to a disappointment with the societ around them, and they have concluded it is corn ? •upt. Most sds members disapprove of the RUssian experience with socialism, but they seem to admire the Cuban brand. Recently, however, members re! turning from visits to Cuba have appeared disy lusioned by repressive measures they have seen the government applying there. The meetings of sds— and, to a large extent, the activities of the national organization, generally— have an improvisational quality about them. This often carries over into the sds view of the future “We can’t explain what form the society will take after the revolution,” a member will say. “We’ll just have to wait and see how it develops.” In recent months the sds outlook has become in­ creasingly bitter. Some observers, noting the escala­ tion in militant rhetoric coming from sds head&J quarters in Chicago, fear the radical movement soon j may adopt a more openly aggressive strategy. I Still, it is doubtful that sds, in its present state of f f; organization, would be capable of any sustained, concerted assault on the institutions of society. The organization is diffuse, and its members have a strong antipathy toward authority. They dislike carrying out orders, whatever the source. p -y-|—siar more influential in the long run, most [Jj observers believe, will be the U.S. National j 1 Student Association. In the current spectrum -/ n of student activism on the campuses, leaders of the nsa consider their members “moderates,” not radicals. A former nsa president, Edward A. Schwartz, explains the difference: “The moderate student says, ‘We’ll go on strike, rather than burn the buildings down.’ ” The nsa is the national organization of elected student governments on nearly 400 campuses. Its Washington office shows an increasing efficiency and militancy—a reflection, perhaps, of the fact that many college students take student government much more seriously, today, than in the past. The nsa talks of “student power” and works at it. more student participation in the decision-making at the country’s colleges and universities. And it wants changes in the teaching process and the traditional curriculum. In pursuit of these goals, the nsa sends advisers around the country to help student governments with their battles. The advisers often urge the students to take their challenges to authority to the < courts, and the nsa’s central office maintains an up-to-date file of precedent cases and judicial decisions. A major aim of nsa this year is reform of the academic process. With a 5315,000 grant from the Ford Foundation, the association has established a center for educational reform, which encourages students to set up their own classes as alternative models, demonstrating to the colleges and univer­ sities the kinds of learning that students consider worthwhile. The Ford grant, say nsa officials, will be used to “generate quiet revolutions instead of ugly ones” on college campuses. The nsa today is an organiza­ tion that wants to reform society from within, rather than destroy it and then try to rebuild. Also in the picture are organizations of militant Negro students, such as the Congress for the Unity of Black Students, whose founding sessions at Shaw University last spring drew 78 delegates from 37 colleges and universities. The congress is intended as a campus successor to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It will push for courses on the history, culture, art, literature, and music of Negroes. Its founders urged students to pursue their goals without interfering with the orderly operation of their colleges or jeopardizing their own academic activities. (Some other organizations of black students are considerably more militant.) And, as a “constructive alternative to the disrup­ tive approach,” an organization called Associated Student Governments of the U.S.A, claims a mem­ bership of 150 student governments and proclaims that it has “no political intent or purpose,” only “the sharing of ideas about student government.” These are some of the principal national groups. In addition, many others exist as purely local or­ ganizations, concerned with only one campus or specific issues. Tl ^xcept for those whose aim is outright disLd ruption for disruption’s sake, many such student reformers are gaining a respectful ® ■ hearing from college and university ad­ ministrators, faculty members, and trustees even as the more radical militants are meeting greater resistance. And increasing numbers of institutions have devised, or are seeking, ways of making the students a part of the campus decision-making process. It isn’t easy. “The problem of constructive student SJ ipar?”~ParticiPati011 that §ets down to mtty-gntty -ls of course difficult,” Dean C. Peter A the University of Nebraska’s College of Arts and Sctences has written. “Students are birds of passage who usually lack the expertise and sophistication to function effectively on complex university affairs until their junior and senior years, ithin a year or two they graduate, but the ad­ ministration and faculty are left with the policies they helped devise. A student generation lasts for our years, colleges and universities are more permanent.” Yale University’s President Kingman Brewster, testifying before the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence, gave these four prescriptions” for peaceful student involvement: > Free expression must be “absolutely guaran­ teed, no matter how critical or demonstrative it may be.” I> Students must have an opportunity to take part in “the shaping and direction of the programs, activities, and regulations which affect them.” > Channels of communication must be kept open. “The freedom of student expression must be matched by a willingness to listen seriously.” > The student must be treated as an individual, with “considerable latitude to design his own program and way of life.” With such guidelines, accompanied by positive action to give students a voice in the college and university affairs that concern them, many observers think a genuine solution to student unrest may be attainable. And many think the students’ contribu­ tion to college and. university governance will be substantial, and that the nation’s institutions of higher learning will be the better for it. “Personally,” says Otis A. Singletary, vice-chan­ cellor for academic affairs at the University of Texas, “my suspicion is that in university reform, the students are going to make a real impact on the improvement of undergraduate teaching.” Says Morris B. Abram, president of Brandeis University: “Today’s students are physically, emo­ tionally, and educationally more mature than my generation at the same age. Moreover, they have become perceptive social critics of society. The re­ formers among them far outnumber the disrupters. There is little reason to suppose that ... if given the opportunity, [they] will not infuse good judg­ ment into decisions about the rules governing their lives in this community.” �•Z K Who's in Charge? Ideally, a Community A \!- * As far as the academic community is concerned, Z1 Benjamin Franklin’s remark about hanging to­ gether or hanging separately has never been more apt. The desire for change is better expressed in common future-making than in disputing who is in and who is out—or how far. —John Caffrey, American Council on Education �ned well only by a sense of its community A college or university can be govern >s IN charge? Trustees and ad\\ A\ / ministrators, faculty members and W/W Students. Any other answer-any from one of V v authoritarian answer outside for more the groups alone, any call from — j » ♦ centralization of authority to restore or er the campuses—misses the point of the academic enterprise as it has developed in the United States. The concept of that enterprise echoes the European idea of a community of scholars self-governing, self-determining—teachers and students sharing the goal of pursuing knowledge. But it adds an idea that from the outset was uniquely American: the belief that our colleges and universities must not be self­ centered and ingrown, but must serve society. This idea accounts for putting the ultimate legal authority' for our colleges and universities in the hands of the trustees or regents. They represent the view of the larger, outside interest in the institu­ tions : the interest of churches, of governments, of the people. And, as a part of the college or university’s government, they represent the institution to the public: defending it against attack, explaining its case to legislatures, corporations, labor unions, church groups, and millions of individual citizens. Each group in the campus community' has its own interests, for which it speaks. Each has its own authority to govern itself, which it exercises. Each has an interest in the institution as a whole, which it expresses. Each, ideally, recognizes the interests of the others, as well as the common cause. That last, difficult requirement, of course, is where the process encounters the greatest risk of breakdown. “Almost any proposal for major innovation in the universities today runs head-on into the opposition of powerful vested interests,” John W. Gardner has observed. “And the problem is compounded by the fact that all of us who have grown up in the aca­ demic world are skilled in identifying our vested interests with the Good, the True, and the Beautiful, so that any attack on them is, by definition subversive.” In times of stress, the risk of a breakdown is especially great. Such times have enveloped us all in recent years. The breakdowns have occurred on some campuses—at times spectacularly. Whenever they happen, cries are heard for abolishing the system. Some demand that campus authority be gathered into the hands of a few, who would then tighten discipline and curb dfcsent Others—at the other end of the spectrum—demand the destruction of the whole enterprise, without proposing any alternatives. If the colleges and universities survive these demands, it will be because reason again has taken hold. Men and women who would neither destroy the system nor prevent needed reforms in it are hard at work on nearly every campus in America seeking ways to keep the concept of the academic community strong, innovative, and workable. The task is tough, demanding, and likely to continue for years to come. “For many professors,” said the president of Cornell University, James A. Perkins, at a convocation of alumni, “the time re­ quired to regain a sense of campus community . demands painful choices.” But wherever that sense has been lost or broken down, regaining it is essential. The alternatives are unacceptable. “If this com­ munity forgets itself and its common stake and destiny,” John Caffrey has written, “there are powers outside that community who will be only too glad to step in and manage for us.” Chancellor Samuel B. Gould, of the State University of New York, put it in these words to a committee of the state legislature: “This tradition of internal governance ... must— at all cost—be preserved. Any attempt, however well-intentioned, to ignore trustee authority or to undermine the university’s own patterns of opera­ tion, will vitiate the spirit of the institution and, in time, kill the very thing it seeks to preserve.” -\7" -yr yao’s in charge there? The jigsaw \\ A\ / puzzle, put together on the preced\y \\/ ing page, shows the participants: V V trustees, administrators, professors, students, ex-students. But a piece is missing. It must be supplied, if the answer to our question is to be ^niidtaneously, 'much power is held by education, nothing could be more eloquent.

Here is a hard look at what this influence has meant. It was written by Clark Kerr for the Brookings Institution’s “Agenda for the Nation,” presented to the Nixon administration: “Power is allocated with money,” he wrote. “The day is largely past of the supremacy of the autocratic president, the all-powerful chairman of the board, the feared chairman of the state appro­ priations committee, the financial patron saint, the all-wise foundation executive guiding higher educa­ tion into new directions, the wealthy alumnus with his pet projects, the quiet but effective representa­ tives of the special interests. This shift of power can be seen and felt on almost every campus. Twenty years of federal impact has been the decisive in­ fluence in bringing it about. “Decisions are being made in more places, and Who's in Charge—V The Public accurate and complete. It is the American people themselves. By direct and indirect means, on both public and private colleges and universities, they exert an influence that few of them suspect. The people wield their greatest power through governments. For the present year, through the 50 states, they have appropriated more than 555-billion in tax funds for college and university operating expenses alone. This is more than three times the $1.5-billion of only eight years ago.

It reached explosive proportions in World War II, when the govern­ ment went to the colleges and universities for desperately needed technology and research. After the war, spurred by the launching of Russia’s Sputnik, federal support of activities on the campuses grew rapidly. ®"illions OF dollars every year went /B to the campuses for research. Most of I %/ I it was allocated to individual faculty _A_ V members, and their power grew pro­ portionately. So did their independence from the college or university that employed them.

The Ithaca encounter was the ini­ tial game of the year for Rainey's Raid­ ers. After trailing the Bombers 28-27 in the first-half play, the Blue and Gold staged a second-half scoring flurry to win handily, 69-61. The Colonels’ win­ ning effort was paced by 17-point per­ formances from Bill Umbach and Herb Kemp, coupled with a defensive stran­ glehold over Ithaca’s All-American center Gregg Albano. The low scoring basketball games of 30 years ago came back to life against Delaware Valley. In a defensive stick­ ler the Colonels only managed to score six goals and yet took the measure of the visiting Aggies, 29-27. Confronted with opponents measuring in at 6-9, 6-6, and 6-5, Coach Rainey was forced to keep the ball from the big guys and thus the game plan was laid. In the stall-down the Blue and Gold used four guards and one forward.

Beside the normally placid waters of the South China Sea, the mainland rises up into the Central Highlands to some of the highest peaks in Vietnam.

The sound of distant artillery was common in Saigon those days, so you got used to it. Despite this, coupled with the noises of the celebrants down on the streets, I slept a sound sleep. At about 3 a.m„ a thunderous noise al­ most knocked me out of bed. The force of the concussion rattled my hotel door and shook my Venetian blinds. 1 couldn't see much looking out my win­ dow (leaving the lights off, of course) as it overlooked small courtyards, not the street. The sound of the blast seemingly came from the opposite side of the hotel in the general direction of the Embassy. Within minutes, the sky was full of helicopters sweeping low over the buildings, many of which were dropping flares. Sporadic gunfire could be heard, mostly automatic weapons. My first guess was that this was more than just another VC hitand-run raid because of the helicop­ ter sweeps. But I had no way of know­ ing that the VC had launched their ^sw.‘famous“ TET offensTve and that the blast , heard was the breaching of the U.S. Embassy wall. I could only u.'c J S1 an wal ' Just before dawn, I walked the block and a half to our Saigon office fully expecting ground transportation out to Bien Hoa as I originally planned.

By week’s end, the heavier action was concentrated in three places, all at a considerable distance from the hotel: the air field, about four miles away; the race track, about two miles away; and in the Chinese colony of the city, called Cholon, about four miles to the south. The momentum of the attack in Saigon proper, the American Embassy, the presidential palace, police stations, power stations, etc., had withered away. (I speak only for Saigon. Other cities under attack, notably the ancient imperial capital at Hue, several hun­ dred miles to the north, would even­ tually be flattened before the last of the VC were driven out.) The TET hol­ idays were over, but strict curfew laws were still in effect and travel was cur­ tailed. But, by the following Tuesday things were quiet enough to permit daytime travel. I managed to get a car out to Tan Son Nhut where traffic was snarled for miles at every gate while identification was being checked. A Vietnamese policeman wasn’t satisfied ” with my travel orders so I had to call in the aid of a U.S. military policeman standing nearby. My plane was the first flight north since the offensive began. I was the sole passenger except for a courier who made the trip regularly with mail and sealed documents. The pilot took liberties with his regular flight plan. We circled low over Cholon to see what we could see. Whole blocks were smoking ruins, leveled by the fury of war.

Al- J**"- w page / 29 page/ 28 �The Muhlenberg Lectures (continued from page is) of the matter and try to produce order out of chaos. Since the condition would be so critical, questions of in­ dividual rights may have to be discarded. Before one can philosophize, one must first be able to eat. Let us hope that this organization will be benevolent. An expanding population carries along with it a whole host of associate evils. Increasing numbers of people de­ mand more food, consume more resources, and produce more wastes. So the brother of the population explosion is the pollution problem. The air we breathe contains in­ creasing amounts of smoke and dust particles, toxic gases such as carbon monoxide and sulfar dioxide, and the presence of noxious odors. The water we drink con­ tains remnants of human wastes, a number of discarded chemicals, plus some detergents for good measure. To­ day there is not a single major river east of the Missis­ sippi which is not polluted to some extent. Lake Erie has reached critical stages of pollution. One Great Lake down and four to go. The food we eat contains a goodly dose of insecticides which are slowly poisoning us along with the insects. Penguins as far away as the Antarctic, certainly not near any apple orchards, have been found to contain DDT in their body tissues. All around us, in our food, in the air, in the water is present radioactive fallout which accumulates in our bodies and begins to damage the life of cells and mutate our gametes. The human body, or indeed few organisms, has never de­ veloped the ability' during its evolutionary history’ to withstand this tremendous outrage upon physiological and genetic processes. A pollutant is any disturbing fac­ tor of the environment and these include noise, garbage dumps, junk yards, sprawling cities and highways. Be it so that man succeeds in his death wish and leaves the scene of his occupation, he will have changed the face of the planet in his wake. As the atmosphere contains increasing amounts of pollutants, the amount of heat energy given by the sun yet retained on earth will rise. This rise of temperature will produce the greenhouse ef­ fect and this added heat will be enough to melt some of the ice of the polar regions, enough to raise the level of sea by 300 feet. This would place many of our present cities underwater. Others feel that the greenhouse effect will initiate a new ice age. Increasing numbers of people seem to bring out the worst aspect of one's temperament. The pushing and shoving, the traffic jams, the standing in line, the Christ­ mas shopping, all bring out the desire to be one up on the other fellow’, to get there before him, to grab that last bargain special. More seriously, it creates a disre­ spect for life. Many simulated experiments which test the effects of population density' on behavior of animals have been performed. For example, rats in crowded cages may become neurotic, aggressive, even to the point of devouring their own young, exhibit abnormal sexual ac­ tivity, etc. Sociologists like to point to the increasing moral decay' of city dwellers, the rising crime rates, and the increase of sexual promiscuity' and perversion as be­ ing due in part to population density. Another study of a deer population revealed that as density increased, cer­ tain hormonal and glandular changes occurred which led to a decrease in reproductive activity and hence to a pop­ ulation decline. If such natural innate controls exist in page / 30 the human species, we certainly do not know of their presence and most certainly would not wish to wait to see if they will operate. Euthenics deals with the improvement of the environ­ ment. The concerns I have expressed up to this point have dealt with the external environment. Let me now turn your attention to the internal environment. A dis­ cussion of artificial organs and organ transplants will be of benefit here. If any organ of the body fails to perform, one hopefully would wish to replace it with a substitute organ. Where do these substitutes come from? They may be entirely synthetic devices such as a kidney dialysis machine, an artificial heart, or silicone joints. They may be transplants utilizing animal organs but these involve such severe problems of immunological rejection that they are hardly practical. Other human beings constitute a supply of organs. Where do we get the donors? The donors must be young since replacing a worn-out organ with another worn-out organ from an old person seems hardly worth the effort. Is one justified in removing or­ gans from healthy persons? This seems to be against the principles of modern medicine. Young victims of acci­ dents then seem to be the only answer. The organ re­ moval must be quick before there is damage done to the tissues. Presently, the legal code requires that permis­ sion be granted after death by the next of kin for an organ to be utilized in this manner. To accomplish all of this in the limited time available is next to impossible. But if these rules are relaxed, it would not be hard to imagine a black market situation in which innocent vic­ tims are attacked and killed and their organs sold, much as the grave robbers of old supplied medical schools with bodies for dissection. There are even complications in­ volved with artificial substitutes. The kidney dialysis machine is a good example. In 1967, in England, 200 people had access to a kidney machine out of a demand for 2,000 machines. This meant that 1,800 people died because the technological know-how was not available. Hospital boards must then decide priority of use; who gets to use the machines and who does not. Will it be the young or the old; the rich or the poor; the influential or the inconsequential? You probably know some of the answers already. Matters will be no less acute in the future. If you had difficulty locating a doctor in 1968, you haven't seen nothing yet! For years survey after survey has indicated that medical schools must increase not only in their enrollments but in the number of new institutions. Yet, practically none of these are making any effort to supply the future with the doctors it will need. Only a handful of new medical schools have ap­ peared on the scene. Instead of responding to the needs of the times, the medical profession has demonstrated shocking unconcern. Qualified candidates are turned away because of the unconvincing reason that there is no room available. The excuse is unconvincing since there have been no attempts to stop this tremendous waste of talent. Perhaps an all-out governmental pro­ gram in the area of human health, designed for the pro­ tection of public interests, is what is needed. Modern medicine may be a temporary benefit but it is an evolutionary disaster. Evolution is the survival of the fit. Those forms of life that are so deformed or hin- hey are unable to reproduce would have been deredth j from the population.

A great number of diseases ''“Abnormalities which cause suffering are genetic, or an“l enetic, in origin. For example, some diseases are partly g caJged by some outside virus or bacteria, yet ’nfeCtthese have a genetic component, a predisposition to even ;ensitivity to the causative agent. Many of these develop si are due to a single gene defect, or as geneticists defects ; malitative factor, an either-or type possibility. A say, a Sis1 either diabetic or he is not, hemophiliac or he person ■ not etc. These genes are easier to recognize and to 'ome extent easier the control than the polygenic, quan­ titative genes that control factors such as personality, intelligence, height, and so forth. It may be hard to dis­ tinguish nature from nurture. Yet, there are some tech­ nicalities that must be described. One must distinguish between dominant and recessive traits. A dominant trait is one in which the deleterious gene when present is phenotypically (externally or visibly) expressed. Ob­ viously, such a gene can be controlled since its effects are easily recognized. A recessive trait is one that may be masked or hidden and only in certain combinations will it ever express itself. Hence, normal healthy parents could produce an abnormal child by the chance com­ bination of the same recessive gene from each parent. This is why marriages between close relatives are dis­ couraged, since they are more likely to have the same defects hidden in their genomes. Each of us here is esti­ mated to contain an average of five defective genes. Since a dominant deleterious gene is recognizable, the simple heart of the matter is to convince the person, if he is physically capable, not to reproduce and pass the gene on to the next generation. Eugenics in the case of a dominant defect is very effective. The problem be­ comes more difficult in the case of a recessive trait. One is not sure whether he carries a particular deleterious gene in his genetic complement. A number of indirect methods are available to test the heterozygosity of the Parents. One of the most common is study from a fam' "f Pechgree which is a complete genetic history o the person in question.

If the original six people had been persuaded not to produce offspring, some human misery would have been reduced. This is the moral im­ perative of Eugenics. More sophisticated techniques, those involving bio­ chemical analysis of enzyme amounts, are aiding in the detection of heterozygous carriers of defective genes. Such tests also should be made mandatory for those con­ templating marriage and whose family records show the occurrence of a recessive defective gene. Advances in fetal research make it possible to study cells removed from the amniotic fluid surrounding a fetus and analyze these in terms of chromosomal complement. Many ge­ netic disorders are due to alterations in the structure and number of chromosomes. If an abnormal chromosomal count is detected, for example, the possibility that a child is to be mongoloid, the decision will have to be reached whether to abort the embryo. This is different than simple non-reproduction. Legality and morality may argue that this constitutes murder. In contrast to negative eugenics, the elimination of un­ desirable genes from the gene pool, positive eugenics ’ frequency ' J--1--L1- ^enes in the strives to increase the ofr desirable gi box population.

He selects intelligence and cooperativeness as the desired traits; encourages voluntary artificial insem­ ination as the means, and suggests benevolent geneticists as the controlling group. New areas of research open the possibility of gene insertion of desirable genes and gene deletion of undesirable ones. The process of transduction, the changing of genes in a host organism by means of a viral vector, is w’ell studied in bacteria and some exam­ ples are known in humans. Joshua Lederberg feels that this method will become an important tool in the future and has coined a new term for its use in changing the genetic information, euphenics. Is man really on the genetic decline? Will he become a pitiful sort of creature, dependent on artificial devices to keep him alive and functioning? It is true that due to the actions of modern medical techniques, defective genes are kept in the gene pool and are passed on to fu­ ture generations. It is also true that the mutational input of new defective genes is increasing. Yet it is not an im­ mediate serious problem. Population and pollution will demand the attentions of our race long before genetic detrimental symptoms prevail. If, as I have suggested, a powerful organization might have to come to grips with the above problems, why not consider the possibility of improving the quality of the race if it has to limit the quantity? Why not? Lecture Number Three SCIENCE AND CHRISTIAN REVELATION With all the portents of doom as described in the pre­ ceding lectures, one wonders if there is any salvation for man. Truly he will have to be shocked into action, and if he acts now the amount of suffering can be reduced; but hopefully once he is convinced of the necessity of action he may save himself from eventual extinction, or at least prolong his stay on this planet. Alfred North Whitehead states, "The fact of the religious vision, and its history of persistent expansion, is our one ground for opti­ mism." The purpose of this final lecture is to analyze a bit more closely the role of religion in face of the things to come. How do all of these things, the condition in which man finds himself today, fit into the scheme of revelation as perceived in Christian thinking? Science and revelation constitute two different forms of knowl­ edge. So different are they that a firm believer in one often has a resentful attitude toward the other. Science is knowledge achieved by testing. It is based on faith in man's abilities to uncover the mysteries of nature. Rev­ elation, on the other hand, is knowledge given to man by a superior intelligence. Supposedly, it is knowledge that man could never attain even with all the resource­ fulness of his mind. Revelation may be of various kinds. It may be personal, in which God or some supernatural spirit communicates directly with the individual, as for example the conversion of Saint Paul on the road to Damascus, or the mandate to take up arms in defense of France given to Joan of Arc by supernatural voices. Rev­ elation may be more formalized and constitute sacred inspired writings, such as the Bible or the Koran. Revela­ tion may be of a third type, a type called institutional­ ized revelation. The Roman Catholic Church believes Page/ 32 that the Holy Spirit constantly guides the institution and will not permit it to fall into error, and official ex ca~ thedra teachings of the Popes and Ecumenical Councils constitute divine revelation. We may react with a degree of skepticism to claims of revelation. Many people claim to have daily conversations with God. More than one church claims itself to be the one true religion. The vast multitude of Christian sects seems to attack the idea that there is a single Christian message. But if we put aside all superficialities such as modes of worship and esoteric doctrines of no great consequence, it is pos­ sible to see in Christianity a single unified theme. Chris­ tianity is evolutionistic in approach. It seems ironic that Christianity reacted so harshly to the Darwinian idea (some sects still don't know what to do with it), but evolution is most at home within a Christian framework. Christians see a historical continuity with gradual glimpses into the Divine Plan. God reveals himself slow­ ly. In the Old Testament, God is the all-powerful father, protector of the Hebrew people, creator and ruler of na­ ture. With the coming of Christ, a different aspect is re­ vealed. Christ exemplifies the merciful and loving as­ pects of the deity. He is a God who submits to rather than controls the forces of nature. In Christ, God's love expands to the universal family of man. To Christians, Christ is the personification of the abstract deity. The Holy Spirit guides the continued growth of the Christian message under the third and final stage of revelation. When this growth and work were to be essentially ac­ complished, Christ would return to a world ready to re­ ceive Him. This is a straight-line development idea with ever-increasing stages of development. The religions of the East, Hinduism and Buddhism, are not based on this idea but are cyclic. Life goes round and round in cycles of reincarnation. The external world is something to be despised and transcended. The classic Buddha, sitting and contemplating, illustrates the priority given to intro­ spection and self-control. There is room for introspec­ tion in Christianity; it has its cloistered monks, nuns, and mystics, but Christianity is not basically an intro­ spective religion. It is a religion of action, of involve­ ment with the world, of tackling the world's problems and attempting to solve them. Christ sends his apostles to teach; to labor in the vinyard; to build his church. The Christian work is dedicated to the greater glory of God as the motto of the Jesuits says. The humble, or­ dinary actions of life are endowed with spiritual mean­ ing. Birth, marriage, death have their sacraments. The flocks and fields are blessed, grace is said before meals, Christmas trees and Easter baskets are secular manifes­ tations of spiritual meaning. Ordinary things become in­ spired symbols: bread, wine, candles, the cross. The earth is not to be despised. It is to be encountered and made holy. Although the Christian is aware of God's plan, he is convinced that he must do things to help to accomplish the Divine Will. In other words, it will not be done for him. The Christian Church has changed but changed rather slowly. The question before us is not whether the church will accommodate to the changes wrought by science, but if it will change fast enough. Christianity is almost 2,000 years old and has accum­ ulated some unessential accessories that it seems unwill- return to the simplicity, vigor, and flexohed to Mlity^^re,! ” I stated Bronowski's thesis that hulb*In firV,esCofrfreedom and liberty flowed from the te manisHE e.

There are a number of ■ke ndicating this. Many scientists are concerned about Amoral implications of their work. Theodosius Dob­ hansky has coined the phrase, "The Biology of Ultimate Concern," for moralistic biology. Many people are hor­ rified a/the idea of using biological organisms in warfar On March 4 of this year, the faculty of M.I.T. has declared a one-day strike on research to emphasize the point that science should be turned away from military pursuits. There is an increasing number of young men who question the premise that serving one's country in a military capacity is always right. The Vietnam War with its nebulous moral basis has highlighted this point. The new student activism is not without some Christian merit in its search for relevance and honesty. The issue of racial equality is indicative that some of the members of society feel guilty about social conditions and others feel deprived of justice. Many of these movements were not sponsored by an official church. They sprang from the people with little guidance from the clergy. Of course, there are exceptions as in the case of the late Martin Luther King, but for the most part the official church has become accommodating. It is regrettable that the concern for Christian values is to a great extent sep­ arated from the official churches. It is hoped that these churches undergo an examination of conscience so that they once again can become effective moral leaders. I spoke of the necessity of some organization coming to grips with the problems of world population and pollutlon'and I added that I hoped that this organization would be benevolent.

It is part of the human condition. It may be man's original sin. White does sug­ gest an alternate view and this view is that of St. Francis or Assisi. To St. Francis, all of nature constituted his brothers and he addressed every animal of the forest in a personal fashion. Many legends grew in connection with St. Francis. It is said that birds flocked to hear his sermons and wild animals became tame in his presence. It doesn't matter if these stories are true but they do teach an important lesson. We are as much a part of creation as the animals. To be kind to them is to be kind to ourselves. To be kind to our environment is to be kind to ourselves. To be kind to our genetic endowment is to be kind to our race. This is clearly the position of modern man. He should respond to any exploitation of our natural resources with decisive action. The legislatures and moral authorities should give these matters prime attention. In correcting the abuses of the past and in the planning of bold, new experiments for the future, man would be fulfilling the Christian vision. It seems hard to understand why there is little commitment with today's youth or why they should ever complain of boredom. Man faces the great­ est challenge he has ever faced. With Christian hope we would like to think that we will overcome our problems and meet the challenges which nature presents but with a Christian sense of reality, we know that we have to work to accomplish it.

Salaries It is basically a seller’s market. A qualified young person entering the profession discovers that positions with the large firms are available any­ where in the country at salaries that are averaging approximately 8740 per month (88,880 per year) in the larger metropolitan areas. Salaries are scaled downward in areas outside of the large cities, and would not be as high in the medium and smaller size firms. An in­ dication of what has happened in the past 13 years is indicated by the fol­ lowing salary information, which might be considered typical of the large firm. $300 $400 $546 $599 $675 $740 Graduate Degree 350 450 600 684 786 850 The primary reason for the difference in salaries being paid by the large firms is attributable to the fact that they engage in campus recruiting and bid against each other in order to ac­ quire the superior student. The table following presents prevail­ ing salaries for accountants for the years 1968 and 1967. It is interesting to note that these recent figures have already been outdated by the begin­ ning salary offers made to June. 1968 graduates. Offers of 89,600 per year have been made for positions in New York City to beginners holding the un­ dergraduate degree, and approximate­ ly Sil,500 to those holding the grad­ uate degree. The College Placement Council, which publishes an annual survey of beginning salaries, reported that sal­ aries paid by public accounting firms during 1966-67 to beginning account­ ants were higher than the previous year; and disclosed the greatest in­ crease in any' field. The average month­ ly' salary in public accounting was S646, while the average in private in­ dustry was S637.9 Average Starting Salary1 1955 1958 1962 1965 1967 1968 4-year degree Little analysis is required to note the significant and dynamic changes that have taken place over a short span of time. According to the table, starting sal­ aries are generally' higher for the be­ ginner in public accounting firms; how­ ever, salaries seem to level off at the senior level, increases in salary are based primarily' on experience and ability rather than educational background. PREVAILING SALARIES FOR ACCOUNTANTS” 1968 AND 1967 The compilation below represents country-wide statistics and is probably the largest cross-section of data available on accountants' salaries.

As a general practice, most firms do not offer promotion based upon a move from one office to another Transfers are based upon desire and willingness of the employee to move, and staff requirements of the firm. As to external mobility, movement from one large firm to another can be accomplished during the early stages of an accountant’s career. Thereafter, mobility is restricted because most firms are concerned about the adverse effects on staff effectiveness and mor­ ale if a person is hired for a position above those who have been with the firm for a period of time and are look­ ing forward to advancement. As to turnover, I think it is appro­ priate to examine some statistics re­ lating to the motivation of students toward accounting and later relate this information to some turnover statistics. Why Students Choose Accounting Several recent surveys revealed some interesting facts about what col­ lege students consider important today in selecting their careers. One such study" asked accounting honor students around the country to indicate the specific factors that moti­ vated them in choosing accounting as a major. The answers: Employment Opportunities 30% Interest and Aptitude (without reference to potential employment) 29 Salary Potential 27 Social Prestige 5 2 Parental or Social Pressures Other 7 100% to the small firms.

One firm recently made a detailed, firmwide survey of its staff, and ana­ lyzed approximately 2,500 replies to a detailed questionnaire. One question relating to goals of the staffmen was answered as follows: To become a partner To acquire experience and 47% 10% leave the firm 22% Not yet sure of goal (Only significant percentages are cited)” It is obvious that almost half of the staff looks forward to becoming a part­ ner; however, it is also obvious that the firm has a great deal of “selling” to do if it wants to retain the majority of the staff. This same firm asked pertinent ques­ tions about the strong points and weak points of the firm. The following re­ sults rvere obtained: Strong Points Opportunities to learn 26% Excellence of professional development program Opportunity for advancement Concern, attention and respect 18% 14% of individuals 12% Weak Points Compensation 21% Lack of communication 18% Too much overtime and travel p ........... 17% rotessional development program 10% (Only significant percentages cited)" 470/ 'S interesting to note that although 5.500- 6,800 6,800- 7,500 7.500- 9,000 9,000-15,000 20,000-25,000 13,000-25,000 12,000-25,000 35,000-60,000 18,000-40,000 17,000-40,000 There are certain large firm person­ nel policies that directly affect reten­ tion and turnover of staff.

He had suf­ fered a broken hip and had under­ gone corrective surgery at Doctors Hospital in New York City. Widely known for his long ca­ reer in philanthropic fund-raising, Dr. Marts was co-founder and hon­ orary chairman of the board of Marts ir Lundy, Inc., one of the oldest and largest professional fundusing firms firn in the country.

From the beginning of his fundraising career, Dr. Marts was de­ voted to the cause of establishing and maintaining high ethical stan­ dards and practices in the fundraising calling.

However, he promised to give the petition careful thought, thanking everyone for their expression of confidence in his leadership. After consultation with his wife, his business partner, George Lun­ dy, and other officials, he agreed to drop the word “Acting” from his title, but with the understanding that he would continue to divide his time in New York and in Lewis­ burg on the same schedule which he had been following as Acting President. The Board of Trustees agreed to this arrangement. * I •g- I I rr'lHE election of a university I president by student, faculty, administrative, and employee petition is a rare phenomenon, even for 1937. In just three years Dr. Marts had made his impress on Bucknell. His leadership abilities had been recognized by the board of trustees as well as by the stu­ dents. He had confronted major problems and had achieved major solutions. He had accomplished all this on a part-time basis, commut­ ing from New York to Lewisburg for three days of intensive work as an academic leader, returning to New York for four active days as a partner in one of the major fundraising concerns in the United States. But drama seemed to accompany the events of life for Dr. Marts. The son of Reverend William G. and Irene C. Marts, he was bom at Reeds Comers, N. Y. He worked his way through Oberlin College, Ohio (two of his summers were spent in an occupation he humor­ ously described as a “tree sur­ geon”), and graduated in 1910 with honors and election as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He became af­ filiated with the Standard Life In­ surance Co., Pittsburgh, after grad­ uation and became a vice president of that firm in 1914. Early attracted to the Boy Scout movement and other welfare work, he served as Associate National Director of the M8-miIhon campaign for War Camp Community Services in the first World War. He was also a member of the National Committee 2 President Marts at cornerstone laying ceremonies for Davis Gymnasium (September 30, 1937). of 35 in charge of the United War Work Campaign for $175-million. After the war, he continued in the work of raising funds for philan­ thropic institutions. He served as president of the firm of Marts and Lundy until 1957 when he was elected chairman of the board. It was in 1932 that Dr. Marts agreed to accept election to the board of trustees, a post he was to hold for two decades. Three years later Dr. Homer P. Rainey, President of Bucknell, resigned his post to become Executive Director of the American Youth Commis­ sion. A special meeting of the board of trustees was called on short no­ tice and the trustees agreed to in­ vite Dr. Marts to accept the presi­ dency. Judge J. Warren Davis ’96, then vice chairman of the board, journeyed to New Jersey to convey the invitation to Dr. Marts. This is how his biographer, Dr. Carter, de­ scribes that meeting: “Marts thanked Judge Davis for the honor and confidence, but IS 1 • Kfc declined the election. He ex­ plained that he and his partner, George Lundy, were engaged successfully in building a new business and he would not leave his partner in such a manner which would be unfair to him, nor would he turn his back on 40 employees of the firm who were dependent for themselves and their families upon the suc­ cess of Marts and Lundy, Inc. Judge Davis was a determined and persuasive man and he per­ sisted until the two men came to a compromise agreement. Marts agreed to give one-half time for a limited period for a year or so as Acting President of Bucknell, and in that limited term he would help the trustees find the right man for their president, and meanwhile would help work out Bucknell’s pressing problems. It was agreed that Marts would spend a portion of each week in Lewisburg and he would retain his business office in New York and his residence in New Jersey. Thus Marts began the Wednesday - night - sleeper ride from New York to Lewisburg where he was to arrive at six o’clock each Thursday morning for a stay of two or three days each week. This agreement was reported to the board of trustees who promptly approved it. They elected the dean of the universi­ ty, R. H. Rivenburg, Vice Presi­ dent of Bucknell, who would be in charge of faculty and academ­ ic affairs and who would be in authority during the days of Marts’ weekly absences.” (pp. 146-147). r I MIE new president was preI sented to the faculty and stu­ dents at a special assembly on October 15, 1935. At the beginning of the 1935-36 term, the university had enrolled the largest freshman class that had so far entered, 325 students. Total enrollment stood at 1,085. The faculty numbered 78.

SEPTEMBER 1970 3 �at that time was $1,300,000, and the interest-bearing debt stood at 4 1 I i $335,000. There were other problems, ana the acting president attacked one of these with vigor. “Old Main had been destroyed by fire in 1933, and the debris of a portion of this build­ ing was still in evidence. The onset of the depression had made it diffi­ cult to raise funds to replace tiffs building, but at tire first meeting of the board of trustees Dr. Marts asked them to authorize a fundraising program of $350,000 with which to rebuild the destroyed cen­ ter section of the building and to recondition and modernize the East and West wings. He received both the approval and help of the board, including a gift of $100,000 from trustee Daniel C. Roberts H’38. Since Dr. Martz was a firm believer of building only when money was at hand, construction on tire central part of the new structure did not begin until 1937, and Daniel C. Roberts Hall stands today as a me­ morial to the generosity of the for­ mer honorary chairman of the trus­ tees. The new president also brought some streamlining to the Adminis­ trative Office. He appointed an Ex­ ecutive Committee of the trustees to work intensively on university business and created a Faculty Ad­ visory Committee to examine the situation in the university from time to time and report its findings to tile faculty for adoption or re­ jection. A man who believed in the collection of facts and the study of those facts in the process of deci­ sion-making, Dr. Marts was to an­ alyze many facets of the university’s operation, laying a factual ground­ work for the solution of the prob­ lems of the University. By the time the 1937 academic aonnad be8un’ a freshman class ol 399 was enrolled and total en­ rollment reached a new peak of L-°o students. The trustees voted o restore faculty salaries in full cuts which had been made at the onset of the depression during a With 01 fdeelining enrollments. Dr M f Mai” under ennslruction, Dr. Marts pushed a building pro4 to those already cited, the inaugur­ ation of a faculty pension retire­ ment system; the creation of a fac­ ulty study group known as the Bucknell Scholars; the appointment of a Dean of Men; the organization of “Friends of the Library;” the in­ stallation of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa; and the wiping out of a capital debt of $350,000. While all this was going on at Bucknell, Dr. Marts was working to build the Bucknell Junior Col­ lege at Wilkes-Barre. During these years, he simultaneously led Buck­ nell out of its depression days and laid the foundations for the ulti­ mate creation, in 1947, of Wilkes College on the superstructure of the former Junior College. Dr. Marts was also defining his attitude toward education and the goals it must serve. In an address to the Northern Baptist Convention in 1940, he observed: - • •- v -Max -7 LjMt '■ KjM ’x tty' 4*A .. . -J i.ty'" , ;t.(. ■ jityy r. '-v.V I 1^ “. . . Too many of us have become more interested in the subjects we teach than in the young people we teach. We must begin to care with all our hearts about the character and life pur­ poses of the young people who walk out of our halls into the ac­ tive life of our nation. We have built up a system of education that is bigger and more powerful than are we, the people who built it. We no longer run it. It runs itself. We no long­ er set goals for it. It has become an end in itself—rather than a means to an end. I believe it is time to de-institutionalize it—to re-humanize it—and to make it serve a large and noble end.” Afr. Daniel C.

Roberts Hall (November 13, 1937)’ gram to complete the Engineering Building and to equip it, and also initiated efforts to build the first unit of the gymnasium. By the end of 1938, President Marts reported to the trustees that the first unit of the new gymnasium for men was complete and that Tustin gymnasi­ um had been remodeled for the use of women students. Meantime, a service building had been erected to house repair shops and equip­ ment, and the Engineering Build­ ing was complete for 375 freshmen admitted for the 1938-39 school term. Enrollment reached a peak figure of 1,322. Dr. Marts outlined some of his problems in his book, The Generosity of Americans (1966): , 1^1 U first job on the presiden­ tial side of the desk at Bucknell was to raise one half million dol­ lars to rebuild ‘Old Main’ which had burned down a couple years previously. That was scarcely accomplished when I was in­ formed by the Engineering Council of Professional Develop­ ment that I would have to reor­ ganize the Engineering courses and build a new Chemical Engi­ neering Laboratory in order to retain the accreditment of the Engineering courses. And then came the necessity for a new gymnasium, a new library and the transformation of the Buck­ nell Junior College at WilkesBarre into a fully accredited four year college which is now called Wilkes College.’ "pa a booklet prepared by the I board of trustees and issued in A April 1939, accomplishments of the “Acting President” were de­ tailed. These included, in addition THE BUCKNELL alumnus * That large and noble end was his constant inspiration, and it must have been this inspiration which the entire faculty and student body sensed when they petitioned him to become President of Bucknell. When the war years came, Dr. Marts enlisted for other duty. In addition to his roles as President of Bucknell, driving force on sev­ eral boards of trustees and private business executive, he became a member of the cabinets of Pennsyl­ vania Governors Arthur H. James SEPTEMBER 1970 President Harts served as a member of the Cabinet of Pennsylvania Governor Arthur James (1938-42), shown here re­ ceiving a Civil Defense pin from Mrs. William Clothier, and of Governor Ed­ ward Martin, successor to Mr. James. The president of Bucknell also participated in several coust-to-coast radio programs (be­ low). and Edward Martin, serving as ex­ ecutive director of the State Coun­ cil of Defense. In January 1943, he was commissioned as a Captain in the U. S. Coast Guard Reserve in charge of the Division of Tem­ porary Reserves. At the conclusion of this tour of duty he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal and Ribbon. To these varied roles he brought his driving energy and talents. He told the graduating class of 1941, in a speech entitled, “Under Three Flags”: “I fear we have put more em­ phasis than we should in recent years upon physical comforts and social security as aims of human happiness. Ease is not the great­ est good. Pain and discomfort and danger are only necessary parts of human experience. J, personally, do not want a flabby, sweet-scented life of constant ease, and I know you do not either . . . Do not mourn the loss of the sort of life you had. expected. Per­ haps the days of pain and diffi­ culties will prove to be finer and more rewarding than those easier days which we have lost. Out of travail and agony a new world is being born. That new world promises to be either a world of 5 �areat shame and disaster, or a world of great hope and free­ dom. 1 believe it will be the lat­ ter.” cial support and an adequate phy­ sical plant, for the depression had weakened the university and to save it a strong leader was required. President Marts became that lead­ er.” Though he returned in 1945 to full-time duty as founder of Marts and Lundy in New York City, Dr. Marts remained a driving force at three educational institutions. He continued his service on the board of Bucknell University, and joined the board of Wilkes College (founded in 1947 as an outgrowth of Bucknell Junior College), and accepted a position on the board of trustees of his alma mater, Oberlin College. In June 1944, President Marts presented his resignation to the board of trustees and told the Alumni of the University: “. . . When the Selective Ser­ vice Act was enacted and then when America entered the pres­ ent war, I realized that it would be my duty to stay at the helm until the special problems of the war period would be met. I have done this, and now Bucknell must begin to shape its plans for the postwar years. Our Navy training unit is decreasing in size, aland returning veterans are al ready on our campus, the ad­ vance guard of an important ele­ ment of postwar Bucknell. This provides a semicolon, as it were, when it seems quite timely to me to make the change which I have long desired and to ask that my successor be selected to lead us into the coming era. . . . Bucknell will enter upon its finest era immediately follow­ ing the war, in my opinion. High­ er education will surge forward as never before in America. Buck­ nell will be in the forefront of that advance. As soon as feasible, we shall build a new library, raise faculty salaries, and enlarge the faculty, erect new scientific lab­ oratories, and new recitation halls and other buildings, and en­ deavor in every possible way to make our 300 acres’ a campus of the highest standards and of the noblest spirit.” I i i H % Dr. Marts greets his successor as president of Bucknell, Dr. Herbert L.

His most recently published work was The Generosity of Americans (1966). In June 1970, his biography, written by Dr. Paul C. Carter, was published by Algonquin Press. The honors he has received were numerous and included honorary doctorates from Oberlin, Hillsdale and Hobart Colleges and Bucknell. In addition, many words of praise have been spoken or written about Dr. Marts. But none perhaps define more clearly his vision and role as seventh president of Bucknell than those he spoke himself at a chapel talk he gave on January 18, 1940: Coast Cuard Captain Marts wins convratulations of Admiral R. R. Waesche as he receives the Navy Commendation Ribbon (August 1945). of Humane Letters. And on March 22, 1968 the administration center at Bucknell was named Arnaud C. Marts Hall in honor of the school’s seventh president. The building which bears Dr. Marts’ name was completed in June 1961 and is an extension of the Vaughan Litera­ ture Building. It completes the north side of Bucknell’s Academic Quadrangle and houses the major administrative offices of the univer­ sity. Speaking at the dedication cere­ monies, held in the Union League Club in New York, President Charles H. Watts II said: “Not only was Dr. Marts’ term as president critically important for Bucknell in particular, but his long and illustri­ ous career has contributed im­ mensely to education and progress in general.” Dr. Watts emphasized that no ordinary measures sufficed to describe the tremendous growth which Bucknell had experienced under the direction of Dr. Marts in his ten years as president. The institution was strengthened in so many ways that his was truly a decade of decision for' Bucknel . The academic program was, o course, his principal concern, but this in turn required strong finan- ♦ * “I am doing what I am doing at Bucknell because I believe with all my heart that here in this beautiful spot can be creat­ ed and maintained a little world of nobility in the midst of a world of mediocrity and sham and cruelty. That here in this lit­ tle world, young men and women may develop such deep and un­ dying loyalty to the nobler way of life that wherever they may go thereafter, they will carry some measure of that nobility to enrich life about them. It is because I believe that, that I have been willing to pay the price to serve you."

Smith ’46, profes­ sor and chairman of the depart­ ment of psycholog}', has been ap­ pointed provost of the Universit}’. He began his new duties on Sep­ tember 1. In announcing the appointment, President Charles H. Watts noted: “I was most interested in finding someone with considerable admin­ istrative talents and with a back­ ground in the sciences and feel that Professor Smith most ably meets these qualifications. His scholarly capabilities have been much in evi­ dence during his 24 years on the Bucknell faculty, his tenure as chairman of one of the University’s very' strongest departments has been highly productive, and he has served with distinction on nu­ merous faculty' committees. Profes­ sor Smith’s abilities as a teacher were formally recognized by the University when he was named re­ cipient of a Lindback Award in 1965.” The President also noted: “I am most grateful to Professor Lester Kieft for the service he has rendered as iacting I..o r ------ - Bucknell provost. has been fortunate to be able to call upon a man of his diverse tal­ ents.” Recipient of B.A. and M.A. de­ grees from Bucknell and a Ph.D. degree from The Pennsylvania State University, Dr. Smith served 8 Provost W. I. Smith ’46 as director of educational research for the McGraw-Hill Book Co. for one and one-half years and has also been a consultant with the Bureau of Research of the U. S. Office of Education and a consultant on mental health for the Common­ wealth of Pennsylvania. He was promoted to the rank of professor in 1955 and succeeded the late Dr. Phillip Harriman as chairman of the department of psychology in 1957. Vitally involved as a citizen of the local area, Dr. Smith has served varied roles in community affairs, including election as a member of the Lewisburg Area School Board. He resigned that post on August 1. The author or co-author of sev­ eral books and numerous scholarly articles, Dr. Smith’s latest publica­ tion is Human Learning. The book is co-authored by Dr. Nicholas Rohrman, a former member of the psychology department, and is part of McGraw-Hill’s El Pro series. Currently he is the administrator of a $250,000 grant awarded to the University by the National Institute of Mental Health for a special pro­ gram designed to prepare psychol­ ogy students for a mid-level pro­ fessional career in research or col­ lege teaching. Known as the “3-2 Program,” both the A.B. and M.A. degrees are awarded to students who complete it. The new provost is married to the former Mary Haupt and they are parents of a son, Alex, an honor graduate of Lewisburg High School who began studies at Bowdoin Col­ lege this month. President Watts also thanked the student-faculty committee which aided in the selection of a provost. Student members included Law­ rence Baker ’70 and Melvin Hill ’70. Faculty members included Pro­ fessors Lester Kieft, chemistry; Mi­ chael Santulli, philosophy; Hugh McKeegan, education; and Charles Walker, electrical engineering. This committee evaluated nominees from other institutions as well as Bucknell faculty members before a final selection was made. THE BUCKNELL ALUMNUS I •4 The Class of 1974, just beginning studies at Bucknell, already posses­ ses some statistical distinctions. Numbering 800, one of the larg­ est freshman classes admitted to Bucknell, in terms of scholastic ap­ titudes and high school rank, it may be one of the strongest groups of students to enroll at the Univer­ sity. The class is composed of 528 men and 272 women. Of the 5,270 applicants, the larg­ est in the University’s history, 2,075 were offered admission (1,485 men, and 590 women), and 930 poten­ tial students were placed on the waiting list. There were 182 Alumni children (or 3.4 percent of the total) among applicants for admission. Of this number, 120 were offered admis­ sion and 76 were enrolled. Seventysix percent of these applicants were in the top fifth of their graduating classes, and Alumni children make up approximately nine percent of the class of 1974. Among the class are 32 National Merit Scholarship recipients, a Presidential Scholar, and 404 mem­ bers of the National Honorary So­ ciety (222 men and 182 women). Ranking in the top tenth of their high school graduating classes were 56 percent of the men and 88 per­ cent of the women (in the top fifth, 85 percent of the men and 97 per­ cent of the women). The average S. A. T. scores for men were 593 verbal and 661 math; for women, 627 verbal and 643 math. The range of interests of fresh­ man class members has some ba­ rometers: 58 men and 12 women served as class presidents; 21 men and four women served as student government presidents; and 65 men and 79 women served as editors of their high school publications. In addition, 136 were members of the Boy Scouts and 30 were Girl Scouts. There are 112 men and 65 women who were part of high school drama groups; 109 men and 40 women who are debaters; and 14 men and two women who have been disc jockeys. Eighty-one percent of the class SEPTEMBER 1970 Members of the Class of 1974 arrived on campus Monday, August 31, to begin an orientation program. Classes- began on Friday, September 4. comes from the Mid-Atlantic states; nine percent from New England; five percent from the North Cen­ tral States; three percent from the South and one percent from the West. About one percent are stu­ dents from outside the continental U. S. Financial aid amounting to $340,000, including scholarship loans and jobs, was offered to 187 of the students enrolled who had estab­ lished need—or about 25 percent of the freshman class. try.

They are Dr. J. Ernest Keen, associate professor of psychology; Dr. David S. Ray, associate pro­ fessor and chairman of the depart­ ment of mathematics; and Donald E. Wagner, assistant professor of civil engineering. Professor Keen was also named recipient of the 9 �t ? A i f Dr. J. Ernest Keen, associate professor of psychology, is one of three recipients of the Lindback Awards for Distinguished teaching. He also is recipient of the Class of 1956 Lectureship awarded annually for inspirational teaching. Class of 1956 Lectureship, a grad­ uation gift of the Class of 1956 which is awarded annually for in­ spirational teaching. The Lindback Awards, which in­ clude cash prizes, have been made available each year since 1961 by’ a grant from the Christian R. and Mary’ F. Lindback Foundation. The late Mr. Lindback was a member of Bucknell’s Board of Trustees from 1937 to 1950. A member of Bucknell’s faculty' since 1964, Dr. Keen received a bachelor of arts degree from Hei­ delberg College in Ohio and a Ph.D. degree from Harvard Uni­ versity. While studying for his doc­ torate he held fellowships from Harvard and from the National In­ stitutes of Health. Before coming to Bucknell he served one year as a clinical psychology' trainee at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Boston. Dr. Ray, who also joined the fac­ ulty' in 1964, earned a bachelor of arts degree at Washington and Jef­ ferson College, a master of arts degree at the University of Michi­ gan, and a Ph.D. degree at the University of Tennessee. He served as an instructor in mathematics at Tennessee for six years before com­ ing to Bucknell. In addition to serv- 10 ing on the mathematics faculty, Dr. Rav is also coordinator of graduate studies at the University. Professor Wagner, who has re­ tired from active teaching and now holds the title of assistant professor of civil engineering emeritus, grad­ uated from Bucknell in 1927 with the degree of bachelor of science in electrical engineering and received a professional degree in electrical engineering from the University in 1932. In addition to working as a professional engineer, he served 24 years with the Pennsylvania State Police before joining the Bucknell faculty in 1956. Summer Study Grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Insti­ tute of Mental Health made it pos­ sible for nine undergraduate stu­ dents to spend 12 weeks, at Buck­ nell University this summer gain­ ing experience in research in psy­ chology and animal behavior. The students, seven of whom at­ tend Bucknell, worked with Dr. Douglas K. Candland, professor of psychology, and Dr. Tim T. L. Dong and Dr. Alan I. Leshner, as­ sistant professors of psychology. Two of the participants, Pamela G. May, a Bucknell sophomore from Wilmington, Del., and James Kuisma of Lafayette College, stud­ ied how syntax and grammar are learned and remembered. The gen­ eral purpose of this study is to un­ derstand the mechanisms of human memory. Four Bucknell students, R. Jay Poliner, a junior from Easton; Jef­ frey J. Kassel, a junior from Balti­ more, Md.; Richard B. Zandler, a sophomore from Pennsauken, N. J., and Q. Thomas Novinger, a sopho­ more from Williamsport, worked in the psychology laboratories at Bucknell learning how to telemeter heartrate from the Japanese snow monkey and studied the relation­ ship between heartrate and social behavior of these primates. Three of these students spent a month at Bucknell’s field station in Goulds, Florida to study the behavior of the 200 free-ranging monkeys living in Monkey Jungle. John A. Gardner, a Bucknell junior from Clarks Green, Kirk A. Speicher, a Bucknell senior from Wilkes-Barre, and William Wal­ ker of Union College, studied ef­ fects of overpopulation on the en­ docrine system of rodents in order to determine how overcrowding produces changes in the reproduc­ tive system. Top Award t I Bucknell Review An interpretation of John Booth’s Giles Goat-Boy by Dr. John W. Tilton ’52, associate professor of English, is one of seven scholarly articles included in the Spring, 1970 issue of the Bucknell Review. Among the other articles are “Westernization: Russia and China,” by T. H. Von Laue, Wash­ ington University; “Hesiod and History,” by Douglas H. Stewart, Brandeis University; and The Problem of Philosophy in the Nov­ el,” by Donald Pizer, Tulane Uni­ versity. Issued three times per year, the Bucknell Review is edited by Dr. Harry R. Garvin, professor and chairman of the department of En­ glish. THE BUCKNELL ALUMNUS David P. Wohlhueter, Bucknell’s sports information director, is the University’s latest winner of a na­ tional honor. Bucknell’s 1969 football bro­ chure, compiled and edited by Mr. Wohlhueter, was judged the finest in the country among College Di­ vision schools in competition spon­ sored by the Football Writers As­ sociation of America. The award presentation was made at the sum­ mer meeting of the College Sports Information Directors of America in Chicago. The Bucknell brochure was judged the best among College Di­ vision schools in District Two (New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl­ vania, and Delaware) and then was victorious in competition among the eight district winners. Syracuse University captured Dis­ trict Two and national honors in the University Division. The 1970 Bucknell Football Guide, which some have said is better than the prize-winning 1969 edition, has been mailed to news­ paper, radio, and television sports reporters and a copy will be sent to every Bison Club member. The book includes biographical sketch­ es of the Bison players, a rundown on the ten 1970 opponents, bio­ graphical sketches of the coaching staff, complete 1969 statistics, alltime Bucknell records, a capsule outlook for the 1970 season, a com­ plete team roster, scores of all Bucknell football games, and a complete list of all former Bison football lettermen. Higby Memorial 4 The University has received a $5,000 bequest under the will of Jane McKinney Higby as a me­ morial to her late husband, Profes­ sor Chester P. Higby ’08. An historian on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin, Professor Higby received his M.A. degree from Bucknell in 1909 and an hon­ orary doctorate in 1934. A similar bequest in his memory was made to the University of Wisconsin. SEPTEMBER 1970 5^:1 Miss Trennie E. Eisley ’31, director of public relations, congratulates David P. Wohl­ hueter, sports information director, irector, for his award-winning work. Dave’s 1969 football brochure was voted best in the nation by the Football Writers Association. Funds from the bequest will be used to aid the teaching and study of modern European history. Since the adequacy of library facilities was a primary concern of Professor Higby during his teaching years, initial funds will be used to pur­ chase books in the field of modern European history. Bookplates will be placed in each volume to indi­ cate purchase by the Chester P. Higby European History Fund. Glyndon, Md., secretary-treasurer.

They are the fifth and sixth persons to be enrolled in this special program. One of the first four was Mrs. Irv­ ing’s brother, Lawrence. The BS/MS program in chemis­ try at Bucknell provides an oppor­ tunity for outstanding students in chemistry to take a special course of study which is significantly more advanced than the normal under­ graduate program. The goals of the program are to give the student the opportunity to participate in a sustained, in-depth research effort under close faculty supervision, and to present more advanced chemistry courses to fill the gap caused by a growing ten­ dency in the larger universities to reduce the amount of classroom work for doctoral candidates. Students accepted for the pro­ gram have taken the same courses during the freshman and sophomore years as other bachelor of science candidates in chemistry, but begin­ ning in the summer after their sophomore year they return to the campus for three successive sum­ mer sessions devoted principally to research. During the regular aca­ demic terms of the junior and se­ nior years the students in the pro­ gram take more, and more ad­ vanced, chemistry courses than the bachelor of science candidate. SEPTEMBER 1970 Fulbright Scholar Dr. Gerald B. Cooke, associate professor of religion at Bucknell I niversity, has received a Ful­ bright-Hays Faculty Research/ Study Grant which he will use for six months study in Japan during the coming academic year. Also the recipient of a sabbatical leave from the University for the first semester of the 1970-71 year, Professor Cooke plans to study the modernization of Japanese Budd­ hism and its sociological implica­ tions. The Fulbright-Hays grants were established as a program of support for foreign language, area, and in­ ternational studies which will con­ tribute to the development of the knowledge of the American people of other countries, people, and cul­ tures. Their purpose is also to pro­ mote mutual understanding and co­ operation and to strengthen our re­ lations with other countries. A member of the Bucknell facul­ ty since 1962, Dr. Cooke was the recipient of a Faculty Training Fel­ lowship from the American Insti­ tute of Indian Studies in 1963-64, and currently holds a tcn-week Na­ tional Defense Foreign Language Grant with which he is studying Japanese at Columbia University. A magna cum laude graduate of Colorado College in 1950, he also received a bachelor of divinity de­ gree from Yale Divinity School and a Ph.D. degree from Yale Univer­ sity. Professor Cooke was on the faculty at Oberlin College for sev­ en years before coming to Buck­ nell. Research Grant Bucknell University has received a grant of $62,596 from the U. S. Office of Education for a research project entitled “Behavioral Pro­ tocols in Language Development: Reading.” The grant, which will be admin­ istered by Dr. William H. Heiner, associate professor of education, was awarded through the Bureau of Education Personnel Develop­ ment of the U. S. O. E. Gulf Scholarships Four Bucknell University stuents will receive scholarships this fall from Gulf Oil Corporation. John C. Hayward, director of fi­ nancial aid, has announced that a freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior majoring in chemistry will be selected jointly by the chemistry faculty and the financial aid office to receive the Gulf Honors Schol­ arships. The grant to the senior will be for one-year, but the grants to the others may be renewed until the stu­ dents complete the normal four years of undergraduate study or until they receive the baccalaureate degree. An incoming freshman will be selected in each subsequent year so Gulf will have four continuing scholarships in force each year. When the program was set up last year, Gulf had planned to in­ troduce one Honors Scholarship a year to a freshman so that by 1972 and in subsequent years four stu­ dents would be benefitting from this program. But, according to E. L. Butcher, secretary of Gulf’s Aid to Educa­ tion Committee, “Since it now ap­ pears that there is a very serious need for scholarship support on campuses, Gtdf has decided to speed up the procedure by making all four scholarships available im­ mediately.” The Bucknell students will be among 98 receiving Gulf grants in 26 departments of 23 colleges and universities in the United States. $30,000 Grant Bucknell Universityr has announced receipt of an iunrestricted grant of $30,000 from The Charles E. Merrill Trust. Bucknell President Charles H. Watts expressed his deep apprecia­ tion to the officials of the Merrill Trust for the grant and indicated that it would be used to help fi­ nance the University Center cur­ rently under construction on the Bucknell campus. The Center is expected to be ready for use in September 1971. 15 �The Varied Worlds of Bucknellians o / Ruth Braden McNamee ’42 The Mayor Is a Lady “ ‘Hizzoner’ Is a Lady’ in Bir­ mingham” was a headline in an April issue of The Detroit News. The lady’ is Ruth Braden McNamee ’42, and she had just been unani­ mously' elected may'or of Birming­ ham by’ the city' commission. She has been a member of the commis­ sion of that Detroit suburb of 35,000 since 1965. On May 18, 1970, May'or’s Exchange Day in Michi­ gan, she became mayor of the city’ of Detroit as she traded places with Mayor Roman Gribbs. During her one-day' tour of duty’ as a big city’ mayor, she cited her strong belief in the mutuality' of interest and the interdependence between core cities and their suburbs. Her stand on this was greeted with general acclaim, and the Birmingham City Council backed her in passing a resolution calling for support of a tax program which would raise tax­ es on non-residents working in De­ troit. After earning her B.A. degree in English and history at Bucknell, Ruth graduated in 194.3 from the School of Business Practice and Speech of Rockefeller Center. She then worked in public relations for Pan American World Airways until 16 she married her husband, William A. McNamee, who is now an execu­ tive with Ford Motor Company. While her husband was earning his master’s degree from the Harvard Business School, Ruth taught at Erskine Junior College in Boston. Since moving to Birmingham in 1947, she has been most active in community' affairs and has been a member and often the president or chairman of many different civic groups. Before her first election to the city' commission she was a member of the city planning board. In 1968, she received the Ford Citizen of the Year Award for com­ munity service. The McNamees have two chil­ dren, JoAnne, a 1970 graduate of Bucknell, and Jeff, a student at Hillsdale College in Michigan. Good Satire A satiric article written eight y'ears ago by' four Bucknell Univer­ sity students, is being reprinted in a book entitled The Headshrinkers Handbook by Dr. Robert Baker, chairman of the department of psy­ chology at the University of Ken­ tucky. The spoof, entitled “Effect of a Pre-Frontal Lobotomy on the Tsetse Fly,” was written in 1962 by' four women, all members of the Class of 1963, who were students of Dr. Douglas K. Candland, pro­ fessor of psychology. It was originally published in The Worm Runner’s Digest, a jour­ nal devoted originally to work on transmission of DNA and RNA, but which from time to time poked fun at itself and the scientific commu­ nity with satiric articles. The paper by these students was first reprinted in 1965 when it came out in a hardback edition of The Best of the Worm Runners Digest. Authors of the article are Mrs. James E. Sayre, Jr. (Joan M. Klein), 902 Pierce Road, Norristown, Pa.; Mrs. Malcolm C. Moore, Jr. (Kay S. Lathrop), 69 Boardman Road, Poughkeepsie, N. Y.; Mrs. Graham E. Johnson (Elizabeth Lominska), 69 Hamilton Street, Sayville, N. Y.; and Mrs. William W. Hussey (Les­ ley Seaman), Star Route, Franklin, N. Y. Honor Physician The Commonwealth Committee of Woman’s Medical College of Pennsylvania chose Edithe J. Levit, M.D. (Edithe Judith Miller ’46), secretary and associate director, National Board of Medical Exami­ ners, as recipient of its citation giv­ en annually to an outstanding WMC alumna from Pennsylvania. A member of the WMC Class of ’51, Dr. Levit was cited “in recog­ nition of her outstanding contribu­ tions in the field of medical educa­ tion. As secretary and associate di­ rector of the National Board of Medical Examiners, she has served as consultant and adviser to medi­ cally-oriented groups. She has also played an active role in the Board’s research and development activi­ ties, especially those related to new testing methods. By her dedicated and unique services she has brought honor to her Alma Mater, to her native state of Pennsylvania and to women in medicine.” During Dr. Levit’s past nine years with the National Board of Medical Examiners she has particiTHE BUCKNELL ALUMNUS r Dated in major decision making, and helped formulate policy. She also has been involved in “some of the exciting changes now taking place in medical education, meet­ ing with distinguished physician­ educators in this country and abroad.” In April, 1970, at the in­ vitation of the Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, Dr. Levit worked with international educators in Toledo, Spain to help medical schools in that country plan for the future. From 1957 to 1961, Dr. Levit was director of medical education at Philadelphia General Hospital. Her association with PGH began with an internship in 1951, fol­ lowed by a fellowship in endocri­ nology and later a clinical assis­ tantship in this field. She received her B.S. degree in biology from Bucknell and was a student assis­ tant in psychology. Currently, Dr. Levit serves on the Board of Directors of PGH’s Charitable Foundation, and on the Board of the Philadelphia Council for International Visitors. She is a fellow of both the American Col­ lege of Physicians and the College of Physicians of Philadelphia.

Medal Winner Army First Lieutenant Robert A. Vater ’68 has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal. The Medal was presented by Colonel N. D. McGin­ nis, XVIII Airborne Corps and Ft. Bragg G-L in a ceremony July 22 in the office of the commanding gen­ eral. According to the citation accom­ panying the medal, Lieutenant Vater was cited for, “. . . meritori­ ous sendee in connection with mili­ tary operations from May of 1969 to April of 1970 while serving as district intelligence operations and coordination adviser in Thanh Tri District, and later Ke Sach District, Ba Xuyen Province, in the Republic of Vietnam. “He was instrumental in estab­ lishing a detailed intelligence base which contributed greatly to the denial of areas of operation and bases of supply for the Viet Cong Infrastructure. ” Through his efforts, Lt, Vater, “. . . contributed immeasurably to the effectiveness of allied intelli­ gence operations in Vietnam and ground operations against a hostile force.” A 1964 graduate of New Britain (Conn.) High School, the 24-yearold Army lieutenant received his 18 bachelor of arts degree in political science from Bucknell. He is pres­ ently serving as Chief of the Com­ mercial Entertainment Branch of Special Senices at Ft. Bragg. Campus Minister The Rev. James A. LaRue ’59 plays a variety of roles in his post as campus minister at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland, Ohio. In an article in the March, 1970 issue of the Crusader, Jim notes: “We have a tense situation here. Eight}’ percent of our students are white and we are in the midst of one of our city’s worst black ghet­ tos. There are 55,000 black people living within four blocks of the school. The pressure is on for the college to relate meaningfully to the community'.” Jim has gone into the community to understand its needs. For a year he met with a group of black stu­ dents for four hours every Sunday. “We read a book a week—every­ thing from Kant to Malcolm X. Some would come with dictionaries under their arms — it meant so much for them to understand eve­ rything there was to know. “They called me the ‘Jesus cat,’ but there was never any question that I would be working with whites when the chips were down.” The administration and faculty are seeking Jim’s help. So Jim be­ comes an interpreter of the commu­ nity. Beyond this, Jim works with faculty and administration in other ways, does draft counseling, and tries to interpret for the local churches what is happening. “There is a great myth floating around that says religion and Jesus Christ are dead on the campus,” Jim says. “True, no one goes around shouting ‘Jesus Christ saves,’ and they may start off the conversation by asking me, ‘Say, do you believe all that stuff about the virgin birth?’ “But students are ready and will­ ing to talk about faith and theolo­ gy. Hardly a day goes by that they don’t bring it up. What we some­ times fail to see is that underlying all their concerns about peace, racism, ecology, inter-personal re­ lations and other issues is one basic question, ‘What does it mean to be a human being in these confus­ ing times?’ I can’t think of a more theological question.” Ordained in 1962, Jim is a grad­ uate of the Colgate-Rochester Di­ vinity School. He received his B.A. degree from Bucknell and was a member of the D. U. fraternity. He is married to the former Cor­ inne Royer and they are parents of two children.

Like all history, it is con­ cerned with the interactions of im­ personal forces, which are some­ times vast, and human beings, who are always fallible — men who squabble, cooperate, and, above all, attempt to control and shape not only the forces of destiny that move and change them but also the indi­ viduals who stand in their way or are amenable and serve them. “The effect that men and their occupations and preoccupations have on each other may be called the personal equation in history. It is all too rarely mentioned in military studies. Sometimes it is of little importance. At the Rapido River it was a vital consequence. There, a conflict between ambition and compassion, duty and morality played a prominent role in the be­ havior of men who arc responsible for the lives of thousands under their command. Their struggles— with the enemy, with their col­ leagues, and within themselves—is what this book is ultimately about." These are the final two para­ graphs of the Preface to Bloody River, the Real Tragedy of the Rapido, by Martin Blumenson ’39. The work is one of two recently published by the distinguished Bucknellian, whose works include a study of Kasserine Pass and of Anzio: the Gamble that Failed. Af­ ter service in the European theater in World War II, Mr. Blumenson commanded the Third Historical Detachment in Korea and was the historian of the joint task force that conducted the atomic weapons test in the Pacific.

He is currently' working on the papers of General George S. Patton, Jr. Mr. Blumenson acknowledges that Bloody River is based in very large part on a segment of his docu­ mented Salerno to Cassino (Wash­ ington, 1969), a volume in the se­ ries U. S. Army’ in World War II. It is also the other side of the Anzio beachhead coin and forms, in a sense, a companion volume to his Anzio work. The second studv published by’ Mr. Blumenson, Sicily: Whose Vic­ tory? is part of Ballantine’s Illus­ trated History of World War II series. This paperback edition is generously’ illustrated and exam­ ines in dramatic fashion one of the significant battles of World War II. All the details are there, includ­ ing Patton’s wild dash to capture Messina before Montgomery’s troops could enter that city, and the episode involving the slap by’ a general that had effects around the world. Mr. Blumenson does not dodge the issues or the facts, and he does draw his own conclusions. The same can be said for Bloody River. This is a book which cer­ tainly will stir controversy' in Texas, for it was the men of Texas who were at center stage in this battle. “The action at the Rapido was one of the most shocking defeats of ■World War II. The .36th Division, originally' a National Guard Unit from Texas, suffered complete dis­ aster, a debacle for American arms. Within the shadow of Monte Cas­ sino in January’, 1944, the troops tried to cross the river against Ger­ man opposition and failed. The casualties were heavy,” Mr. Blu­ menson candidly’ states. In seeking to determine who was to blame, if the battle was even necessary, or if it was mismanaged, Mr. Blumenson is involved in a detailed study of men and the things that make men leaders of other men. The book is introduced with a quotation from Sun Tzu, 22 learning, our feelings to a religion and a church in which we no long­ er believe and which we no longer truSt__ that is the single, but atro­ cious, failure of our civilization.” Masaryk characterizes this failure with the German noun Halbbildung (“half-education”), using the term to describe the lack of unity in the world view of a society. It is “half-education” that rules in the “sick” society, and suicide rates are an index of the depth of the illness and the extent of the divorce be­ tween the intellect, the spirit, and the moral act. Masaryk noted in later works that his work on suicide “gives in a nutshell a philosophy of history and an analysis of the modern era” (The Making of a State, English ver­ sion, 1927, p. 291). He also remarks in another book (The Spirit of Rus­ sia, Vol. 2, p. 557, English, 1919): “In my attempts at philosophico- Work on Suicide Martin Blumenson ’39 writing On the Art of War around 500 B.C.: "There are five danger­ ous faults which may affect a gen­ eral: . . . the fifth one is solicitude for his men . . But solicitude is but one of the qualities examined. The others include determination, ambition, fortitude, bravery, cow­ ardice, intelligence, competence, and insight—in short, all the quali­ ties of being human in an inhuman situation which has kept philoso­ phical discussions going for many centuries. The battle of Rapido, in fact, continues to stir controversy—only a part of it philosophical. In 1946, more than two years after the en­ gagement had been fought, the Committees on Military Affairs in both the U. S. House of Represen­ tatives and the U. S. Senate invited witnesses to appear before them in order to determine whether a fullscale investigation of the battle was justified. Many of the commanding officers of the troops involved tes­ tified at these hearings. No fullscale investigation was ever held. Committees concluded that the evi­ dence warranted no further exami­ nation of the matter. The finding of Robert P. Patterson, then Secretary of War, was confirmed: the attack at the Rapido had been necessary. But a real tragedy had occurred at the Bloody River, and Mr. BIumenson probes skillfully and por­ trays masterfully the event and the men involved in it. An English translation of Thom­ as G. Masaryk’s Suicide and the Meaning of Civilization, originally published in German, has been made available in the Heritage of Sociology series of the University of Chicago Press. Dr. Morris Janowitz is general editor of the series. Two Bucknellians are the trans­ lators of the work, Robert G. Bat­ son ’55 and William B. Weist ’50. Mr. Batson, a former Fulbright scholar, is a communications con­ sultant in New York City. Mr. Weist, a former instructor in so­ ciology at Bucknell and former newspaper editor, is managing edi­ tor of the Bucknell University Press. The translators acknowledge their debt to Dr. W. Preston War­ ren, professor of philosophy, who introduced them to the work of the Czech philosopher during their studies at the University. Thomas Garrigue Masaryk (18501937), founder and first president of Czechoslovakia, was one of the most revered liberal democrats of modem times, a man who perhaps came closer than any other to em­ bodying the Platonic ideal of the philosopher-statesman. Suicide and the Meaning of Civilization, pub­ lished in German in 1881, was his first empirical study in sociology, a pioneering attempt to analyze the role of philosophical and moral perspectives in the life of the indi­ vidual and society. In the late 1960’s there was a resurgent interest in the life and work of Thomas Masaryk. Czech intellectual and social concerns in­ cluded a new investigation of the alleged “suicide” of his son, Jan Masaryk (1886-1948), Czech for­ eign minister at the time of the Communist coup of February 26, 1948. This investigation by the Dubcek regime, in its turn, formed part of the background to the dra­ matic events of August, 1968. “We surrender our intellects to historical explanations I start from the conviction that religion consti­ tutes the central and centralising mental force in the life of the in­ dividual and society. The ethical ideals of mankind are formed by re­ ligion; religion gives rise to' the mental trend, to the life mood of human beings.” Almost three decades after its original publication, in 1910, Mas­ aryk sent the work to Tolstoy, with whom he had discussed the sub­ ject. Tolstoy, at work on an essay on suicide, noted in his diary for May 3, 1910: “I walked up and down in the park and read Mas­ aryk. I thought about suicide and again read over the book which I had already begun. It is good. It would have been good to write. Wrote Masaryk." (I. Silberstein, “L. N. Tolstoy and T. G. Masaryk,” Slavische Rundschau, Vol. VII (1935), no. 3, p. 162.) Masaryk analyzes and evaluates a considerable volume of literature and statistical material which had accumulated on the subject of sui­ cide at the date of writing. He dis­ cusses suicide in relation to the ef­ fects of nature—climate, weather and seasons; and in relation to the conditions of society—economics, social and political. He also consid­ ers, as variants in suicidal behavior, sex, health, age and population growth, concluding with a study of suicide among prisoners and of the effects of one’s occupation on suicidal tendencies.

Ellsworth Parkhurst, Jr. Richard Pearsall John A. Perkins Hon. Frank L. Pinola Max Rosenn Aaron Weiss I would like to thank all of you for participating in this, my first press conference as President of Wilkes College. Education is of great interest and concern to all Americans and I hope to be available to you on future occasions to discuss matters of importance to higher education and our community in the years ahead. Since April 17, when my appointment as the second President of Wilkes College was first announced, the response and congratulations of friends, faculty, and students have been most kind. I will make every effort to jus­ tify their confidence in me. As I indicated on April 17, I am indeed fortunate in assuming the pres­ idential responsibilities following a man like Dr. Farley. His outstanding leadership and sound administration have built a strong, well-balanced institution. I have much to work with, and in trying to continue this progress, much to work for. His continued efforts on behalf of Wilkes as Chancellor, will be very important to me in my efforts as President. Dr. Francis I. Michelini, new president of Wilkes College, and his wife, Anne Marie, look ahead as they inspect the model of the proposed S4-million addition to Stark Hall, which is on display at Weckesser Hall. Inaugural Planning Underway The first meeting of key personnel who will handle the arrangements for the inauguration in November of Dr. Francis J. Michelini as the second president of Wilkes College was held recently in the Board Room at Weckesser Hall. General chairman of the inauguration is Thomas Kiley, vice president of the Board of Trustees, and co-chairman is Dr. Ralph Rozelle. CHANCELLOR It is natural to look forward to continued growth and change within the College. Today we hear much in the press about dialogue with students, faculty, and community. It has been a tradition that such dialogue has always been part of the operations of Wilkes College, and I intend to in­ crease the input of information and ideas from student, faculty and com­ munity sources as well as expand such input from another important re­ source, our Alumni. Ideas and opinions will be incorporated directly into our administrative operations. Eugene S. Farley PRESIDENT Francis J. Michelini ALUMNI OFFICERS Thomas J. Moran, '49 President I plan to implement two new divisions in the college structure: a Divi­ sion of Humanities and a Division of the Social Sciences. These will com­ plete the divisional organization begun in recent years when the Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics was created. Nev/ responsibilities have been defined for these organizational units and these v/ill be reviev/ed with the department heads and the faculty in the Fall. A number of such admin­ istrative modifications are inevitable as Wilkes grov/s. Francis S. Pinkowski, '50 Executive Vice-President Carol J. Rhines, '63 Secretary Carl Urbanski, D.D., '57 Treasurer Arthur J. Hoover, '55 Director of Alumni Relations My primary concern as President will be the continued pursuit of qual­ ity by both faculty and students. This has been the strength of Wilkes in the past, and it must continue to be in the future. Our private colleges must be strong in our society as constant challenges to our public institutions. This is the strength of our pluralistic American society in which public and pri­ vate resources combine to better serve our people. This system is envied throughout the world, and we must keep it healthy. One of our many chal­ lenges during this exciting period in education is to make our public under­ stand the values of freedom necessary in institutions of higher education if this nation is to continue its great history of commitment to education as one of its guarantees of opportunity for all. Wilkes College end Dr. Farley have been major instruments of change in this community for the past thirty-four years. I intend to devote my efforts to maintaining this role for th-- college as a significant and construc­ tive instrument for social and economic change in our community. ALUMNUS STAFF Thomas J.

Farley, who guided the college for 34 years. Dr. Farley immediately upon stepping down from the presidency became the first chancellor of the college. The committee working on the ceremony in­ cludes representatives from the Board of Trus­ tees, college administration and faculty, and the student body. Although only preliminary discussion was conducted at the first meeting opened by Atty. Louis Shaffer, chairman of the Board of Trus­ tees, plans were made by frequent additional meetings and assignment of committees to handle the many vital functions which will conto the inauguration of the nevi president. k committee to select an appropriate speaker for the occasion will be announced shortly and wide-spread publicity will be attached to the event. It is anticipated that the ceremony wiil be held sometime during November, although this date has not as yet been finalized, pending selection and availability of a speaker. Those attending the meeting were: Mrs. Eber­ hard Faber, Thomas Kiley, Atty. Louis Shaffer, Dr. Michelini, Dr. Charlotte Lord, Dr. Hugo V. Mailey, Dr. Charles B. Reif, John Chwalek, Misses Sally Donoho and Maureen Klaproth, Drew Gubanich, Aldo Farnati and Mrs. Mickey Stella. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree from Seton Hall University, his Master of Sci­ ence Degree from the University of Delaware and his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. A veteran of World War II, Dr. Michelini as­ sumes the leadership of a college with a full time enrollment of 2,500 students and an equal number of part time and evening students. He will oversee an institution with an oper­ ating budget of $50-million with tangible assests of more than $20-million. The campus now has 54 buildings and plans are being finalized through "Operation Forward Thrust" for a $4million addition to Stark Hall. Dr. Michelini is extremely active in com­ munity affairs and various civic and govern­ mental groups. He is married to the former Anne Marie Ster­ ner of Lansford. The couple has three daughters, Michelle, Lisa and Lucia. n Members of the committee who are forming plans for the inauguration of Dr. Francis J.

History was made at Wilkes College on July 1 when the title of chancellor was added to the upper eschelon of administrative officers. Dr. Eugene S. Farley, who retired on June 30 as pres­ ident of Wilkes College after 34 years as the leader of the educational institution, became the first chancellor in re­ sponse to an invitation from the Board of Trustees that he continue his vital services to the college. Two professors — Dr. Thomas Mizianty and Dr. Donald Tappa — have contributed greatly to the pre­ sentation of the college student as one who is deeply concerned with putting to work the education and training he has received at Wilkes. nXmTLVLT"V^Vj_LLl.tl_tl_Ll_u. In his new position. Dr. Farley will devote his time to the responsibilities of all external matters pertaining to the present, and future, welfare of the college. With Dr. Francis J. Michelini, the new president, handling the in­ ternal problems of the administration of the school, Dr. Farley will be free to do the long-range planning. Their efforts right here in the col­ lege community stand as evidence. The results have added up to an enthusiastic community involve­ ment by the senior biology stu­ dents. It was pointed out that while the two roles will be somewhat related, both men will be working in different capacities for the continued development and success of Wilkes College. It all began five years ago when Mizianty and Tappa changed the format of the senior biology sem­ inar class. It was their aim to make the subject matter relevant to the community. Dr. Farley’s new role follows 34 years as president of the college — 11 of which were as president of Bucknell Junior College, the forerunner to Wilkes. During the more than three decades as the leader of the institution, Dr. Farley has guided the growth of the college from a one classroom building and less than 200 students to its present status of 54 buildings and a total of 5,000 day and evening students. Under his leadership, the remarkable growth and suc­ cess of the college and the achievements of its alumni have won it respect academically and athletically. Dr. Farley’s guidance has kept the college constantly on the course on which it was founded — a liberal arts college, open to all serious students, regardless of race or creed. These same policies accompanied the academic ex­ pansion into other areas which followed during its 34 years under his direction. While much of the inspiration behind Wilkes lies with Dr. Farley, he is quick to credit the success of the insti­ tution to the many who supported him — names like Ad­ miral Harold Stark and those new deceased, Dr. Arnaud C. Marts. Atty. Charles B. Waller, Miss Annette Evans. Gilbert McClintock, Mrs. Dorothy Darte, and countless others. These powerful, community-minded individuals sup­ ported the president when many people in the region tended to discredit his oream of providing higher educa­ tion to what at the time was a depressed area. Dr. Tappa put it this way: “Dr. Mizianty and I felt that the class, as seniors, should be ready to ‘put into action’ some of the training they had received during their four years in the major.” In the field of education, the role of chancellor is an old and respected one, carrying equally important roles in the fields of government and religion. The reaction from the campus to the community to Dr. Farley s acceptance of the new position has been ex­ tremely enthusiastic. Typical of the comments was this editorial published in a Wilkes-Barre newspaper. It said in part: After 34 years of devoted service, he was more than •willing to retire and enjoy the leisure that he had earned. But the board of trustees hesitated about severing all ex­ isting ties for obvious reasons and created the chancellor­ ship especially for him. Since he grew up with Wilkes, he is the outstanding authority on its past and, important, on its future. Freed of routine duties, he will be the ideal contact with colleagues in education, community leaders, and the alumni. It would be a shame to waste all this talent at a time when higher institutions of learning need guidance and experience, such as he is able to make available in his new capacity.” page/4 4 To that end, each student was ex­ pected to participate in some active project within the area. They pitched in with enthusiasm — each choosing an area of involvement within his personal realm of in­ terest. It might be pointed out that long before ecology became a popular preoccupation, Wilkes students were out lobbying for anti-pollution bills. The results have been outstand­ ing. The students infiltrated the Wyoming Valley area, bringing fresh ideas and facts concerning biology to the attention of high school students, faculties, the press and the public. It was not long before 20 area Five members of the Senior class who worked on the environmental project are, left to right, kneeling — Bernie Holleran, Wilkes-Barre; Dave Roberts, Kingston.

Some students made reports to Harrisburg on pollution and conservation. Others attended town meetings in nearby Tunkhannock to discuss a proposed nuclear plant. Many stu­ dents with literary inclination in­ undated national magazines with letters and articles, and some in­ vestigated matters of vital import­ ance to Wyoming Valley — such as the effects of miner's asthma and the burning culm banks. Much of the success of the in­ volvement program can be under­ stood through the type individual who eagerly participated. There is Jack Blannett. a recently graduated biology major from Wilkes-Barre, who was instrument­ al in organizing Earth Day locally. page / 5 The tall, intense young man's areas of involvement have not remained confined to his major field. Direct­ ing a school Reach-Out Project for area orphans occupied a great deal of his time during the school year. Blannett was only one of the many who took part, but he is typ­ ical of the type individual who wants to become involved for the benefit of others. His efforts and the efforts of others pointed up an unplanned, but satisfying result of the seminar. Students pursued their interests with a dedication that did not seem to end with the final grade from a professor. Once involved, the students tended to follow-up their interests. The influence was felt in many ways. �GROTON MS A LIKING FOR WILKES EDUCATION GRADUATES Congrautlations were in order for the new president of Wilkes College recently when James Shaughnessy, assistant superintendent of schools in Croton, Conn., (second from right) renewed acquaintances with Dr. Francis J.

(Photo by Paramount Studio) To James Shaughnessy — assistant superintendent of schools in Groton, Connecticut — a visit to Wyo­ ming Valley means a chance to play some golf on the fine local courses, an opportunity to exchange plea­ santries with old friends and a search for teaching talent at Wilkes College. Shaughnessy has a special liking for people who gained their training in education at Wilkes for a very simple reason — they have proven to be wellqualified in all respects and they “fit” the educational system at Groton. To prove his point, Shaughnessy did a quick men­ tal recount on the number of Wilkes students who have been plucked from the local campus and signed on as faculty members at Groton. “In the past 10 years.” Shaughnessy said, “wre have hired about 150 Wilkes education graduates. This year we are taking eight from the 1970 grad­ uating class.” Robert Strouse, who accompanied Shaughnessy on the trip, is principal of the West Side Junior High School in Groton. the Groton school system, slightly more than 50 are graduates of Wilkes College. “That must be some kind of record,” according to John Chwalek, Wilkes placement director and per­ sonal friend and golfing partner of Shaughnessy’s. The assistant superintendent of the New England school said he first came in contact with Wilkes Col­ lege “about 11 years ago” while making a tour of the northeastern part of the country for teaching talent. Reflecting for a few seconds, Shaughnessy’s face suddenly glowed with a satisfied grin as he said, “I can even remember the first person we hired. Her name was Sandra Feldman.” Since then it has been simply a case of Shaugh­ nessy thinking in terms of Wilkes College when it came to looking for replacements. During this most recent trip, Shaughnessy made it a point to pay a special visit to Weckesser Hall — “just to say hello again to Dr. (Francis) Michelini and congratulate him on his recent move up to the pres­ idency.” Strouse reminded Shaughnessy that percentage­ wise Wilkes ranks rather heavily when it comes to teaching jobs at Groton. As further proof that Shaughnessy is well satis­ fied with the way educational training is provided at Wilkes, he informed Dr. Michelini that he will have a personal representative on the campus for the next four years. This caused Shaughnessy to make another esti­ mate — figuring roughly that of the 550 teachers in “My daughter is enrolled in the freshman class which begins in September,” he explained. page / 6 4 X' HOMEFRONT ALUMNI GATHER TO FORM STRONGER CAMPUS CHAPTER Coing over some ol the recommendations made by Wyoming Valley alumni for creating a stronger campus chapter are three people who are vitally concerned with the success of alumni development. Lelt to right are: Walter Mohr, director of development; Art Hoover, director of alumni affairs; and Thomas J. Moran, president of the Alumni Association. In an effort to revitalize what was at one time the strongest chapter of the Wilkes College Alumni Associa­ tion — the one which included graduates living in Greater Wyoming Valley — a special meeting of those who have been interested in the college's efforts was held on July 23 at the College Dining Hall. The purpose was to reactivate the campus chapter as a nucleus around which events might be planned and de­ veloped for the overall benefit of alumni living elsewhere and to provide a working body to handle assignments on the "homefront” for special events to which those living out-of-town would be invited.

Left to right are—Mr. and Mrs. William Harman, Beverly Harmon, student from Canton; Charlene Bryant, student from Boothwyn; and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Bryant. The days were busy and hectic. At night the lights burned late as the 22 participants in the Wilkes College Summer Theater Workshop became acquainted with all phases of the stage at the Center for the Performing Arts. The program, designed for high school junior and senior students, un­ dergraduate and graduate students, ran from early July into the first week of August. The workshop provided total theater experiences in production, lighting, directing and acting for the eager group. The program allowed high school students to gain the instruction of professionals in all aspects of the­ ater production. They were involved in the building of sets and rehearsing and production of scenes. The project also gave graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to work with the high school students. The students worked under the super­ vision of Richard Fox, Easton Area High School, who served as technical director. The college students were re­ sponsible for directing the scenes. Also supervising the workshop were: Al Groh, Wilkes College; Miss Myvfanwy Williams. Wilkes College: Jean McClay, Easton Area High School, pro­ duction consultant: Murray Popky. costume director; David Frey, technical director: Mary Ellen Neiman, ward­ robe mistress; Joel Fischman, stage manager; Michael Gallagher, faculty assistant; and Kathi Rifkin, properties and makeup. Formerly the Workshop was funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Education, but this year was conducted on an independent basis. High School students who partici­ pated in the program were: Carl An­ derson, West Wyoming; Gary Kessler, Kingston; Michael B. Libenson, Ann Marie Brisk, Maria Csala, Regina En­ gel, Shari Garber, Gloria Maksimik and Ann Mermelstein, Wilkes-Barre. Anthony Nardella, Jr., Dunmore; Chris Peterson, Exeter; Margaret C. Brown, Hickory; Charlene Bryant, Boothwyn: Beverly Harman, Canton; Lee Rachel Nemchek, Plymouth Meet­ ing; Holly Phillips and Kathryn Anne Vernon, Trucksville; Sharon Stanek, Ashley; Margaret S. Trotzky, Forty Fort; Karol Namutka, West Pittston; and Debbie Pool, Kingston. Graduate and undergraduate stu­ dents enrolled were: Douglas E. Abrbetman and Marlin M. Boylan, Scran­ ton; Nancy Karp, Lansdale; Judith Panzini, Easton; Anne Richey, Harris­ burg; Grace Perkinds and Elliot Rosen­ baum, Kingston. page/8 W ' udiaate plaiiit Ai'derway in Mathematics A graduate program leading to a Master of Science Degree in Math­ ematics Education at Wilkes College was initiated recently under the de­ partmental chairmanship of Dr. Bing K. Wong. The program differs from the usual Master of Science Education Degree in that it is strongly subject-oriented. Of the 30 graduate credits required for the degree, 18 credits must be taken in mathematics. This is the first time that graduate courses in math­ ematics have been made available in Northeastern Pennsylvania. There are over 30 graduate students presently enrolled in the program. Many of these are high school teachers of mathematics in the area. Classes Scheduled Late Classes are held during the academic year in the late afternoon and early evening to enable teachers to pursue these graduate studies. Plans for a parallel M.A. in Math­ ematics at Wilkes have been com­ pleted recently. It is hoped that stu­ dents interested in pursuing a degree wholly in mathematics will have the opportunity available within a year. Dr. Wong also announced that Dr. John Wasileski, a native of Nanticoke, will join the department in September. Following his graduation from Nan­ ticoke High School in 1961, Dr. Wasil­ eski attended Wilkes College and was granted a B.A. degree in mathematics in 1965. He then went to Penn State for his doctorate. His father, Professor Stanley Wasileski has been a Wilkes faculty' member since 1945 and is still teaching mathematics cm a part-time basis following his retirement last February.

Its main purpose is a form of response to many alumni who have expressed a strong desire to hear more about the "grass-roots" side of the college, its student and faculty families and what is taking place in the everyday, casual routine of keeping our educational institution going. If you like it, please let us know. If you feel it has no place in your Alumnus, such knowledge would also be welcome.) Under ordinary circumstances this item would be listed under the special “In Memoriam” part of the Alum­ nus at the end of the publication. But this seems to call for more of a tribute to one of the all-time football greats at Wilkes College, who passed away after a lingering illness in late June. It was with sad hearts that the campus family, many former lettermen and the local sports world in general heard of the death in the Veterans Administration Hos­ pital of Jack Feeney, ’51, a former All-Scholastic end at Kingston High School and a four-year letterman at Wilkes College, where he gained national fame for his perform­ ance as one of the greatest ever to play for the Colonels. 0 0 0 of the 1970 graduating class, who received their diplomas in the gymnasium with the temperature in the 90’s, are voicing approval of an editorial in The Beacon, campus newspaper, that some thought be given to holding the 1971 commencement outdoors at Ralston Field. Wilkes Placement Director John Chwalek and his staff are compiling figures on members of the recent class who have made employment connections as a direct result of interviews held on campus ... 41 juniors and seniors from area high schools are enjoying the Wilkes campus this Summer as part of the Upward Bound program . . . Also visiting the campus for educational benefits were some 50 high school teachers of biology from schools in 17 states, who attended the annual Summer Institute, sponsored by the National Science Foundation. + New college President Francis J, Michelini, who is still referred to affectionately as "Dr. Mike," had his first joust with the news media on July 1 and came off very well. To a question from one member of the press concern­ ing the financial state of the small private colleges, the new president laughed and said, “Please wait until I have time to fully acquaint myself with the budget!” Many of the 7,000 alumni of Wilkes College can still participate in “Operation Forward Thrust” — the cam­ paign to raise 54,000,000 for the construction of an addi­ tion to Stark Hall as a replacement for Conyngham Hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1968. Walter Mohr, director of development, has made a special plea to all those who have not as yet sent in con­ tributions. “We realize that many of our alumni cannot give gigantic gifts," he explained, “but our problem is in trying to make each one realize that even a small con­ tribution is most welcome." Dr. Eugene S. Farley, new chancellor of the college after retiring as president on June 30, finally found time for a vacation — a trip into New England and even a chance to stop off at the hotel and art center conducted by Wilkes faculty member Phil Richards . . .

Many graduates have expressed a desire to maintain a closer tie with Wilkes College and what is happening here on a week-to-week basis. It was with this thought in mind that The Beacon, campus student newspaper, has made plans to offer subscriptions to former students at the rate of S4 for the regular school year. All one has to do is send a check or money order along with his name and address and The Beacon will be mailed each week. �1970’s - The Quality of Life . scribed as radical and revolutionary. The science and technology of the Western world have put man on the moon, everyone is living longer and is in better health and yet we are only now discovering new words and new forces that pose for civilization real concerns for our survival: environmental control, the urban problem, pollution, over-population, and the other concerns that describe man’s long and careless abuse of the world in which we all must live. The real danger however is man himself. We must solve these problems of our environment and rediscover ourselves in time to make certain that we begin to devise plans and active programs so that in 1980, when we stop again to review the accomplishments of the '70's, the record will show that we have im­ proved our performance as individuals in shaping our future. (The following is the complete text of an address given before the graduates and their guests nt the 1970 Wilkes College Commencement by Kenneth C. North­ rop, president of Holt, Rinehart and Winston, New 1 ork publishing firm.) I am pleased and honored to have been asked to speak to you on this occasion ac­ knowledging the accomplishments of the 513 graduates of Wilkes College. I am especially pleased to have been asked by Dr. Farley to speak to you. I might say parenthetically that it is hard to say no to Dr. Farley. This is the second commencement address that has been given by an alumnus of the college, and I hope that in the years ahead many graduates will return to address themselves to the individ­ uals in the graduating class. Tonight I am going to spend more of my time on the future, the years ahead, and try to give you some of my thoughts about the quality of life that we, as individuals, that Wilkes, as an institution of higher learning, and that our country, as a free people, might anticipate. The one force that is equally important for survival for all three, whether individual, institu­ tion, or nation, is for us to be able to cope 'with, plan for, and be successful at dealing with and managing change. Change is a very interesting concept. It has many facets and some advocates that have compli­ cated the understanding of the simple fact that noth­ ing stays the same, that change is inevitable, that it may be one of life’s only constants, that it has a vel­ ocity, and, in different eras, moves at different speeds. It is the velocity of the change we now are witnessing that is of such great concern to the na­ tion, its institutions, and to us, as individuals living in these troubled times when tranquillity is not the order of the day. It is not enough for us to react to change; we must shape our future with imaginative ideas and practical action. This class of 1970, I am certain, is one of the best, if not the best, educated class to graduate from Wilkes College. There are some today who doubt that education at all levels, whether elementary, high school, or college, is what it should be, or, perhaps more precisely, what it used to be. But, from where I sit, today’s student at every level is the recipient of a better education and is a much better critical thinker than yesterday’s student. As we move for­ ward in time, the goals and objectives of education by Kenneth G. Northrop have changed rather dramatically. Today it is of little value to fill minds with facts that soon are discovered not to be facts — more information was accumulated in the last ten years than in all the rest of recorded history — to survey and trace the span of history, and, as we look back to history, we find only that historians agree to disagree, that each interprets his­ tory differently, and that in their conflicting inter­ pretations, the only sensible thing to ask of students today is: Who do they think was right? What mean­ ing does history have to me today? What lessons can be learned from the past? Education today is a life-long process. We define our business as "the cradle to the grave” — the rail­ road analogy: pre-kindergarten, elementary, high school, college, four or five different careers. Educa­ tion is, in reality, an investment much like land, our great unreproducible asset. It has always been an odd phenomenon to me that in the zero years we stop to examine the past and make predictions about the future after gliding through the one-to-nine years. For the class of '70 there is today much information in every sort of for­ mat making predictions about the years ahead, es­ pecially the 1970’s, and ten years is about the span for which most long-range planners are willing to stand up and be counted. The characteristics of the 1970's are, in my judg­ ment, going to be much different from the recent '60's and '50's. The last twenty years could be char­ acterized by their relative stability, their predict­ ability, and change was a rather evolutionary process. Today, after only five months in the new decade, the characteristics of change in the '70's can onnly be de- page/ 10 This rediscovery of ourselves and our society will not be an easy task and will not be accomplished un­ less the gaps — the generation gap, the communica­ tions gap, the gaps within generations, and the listen­ ing gap are greatly reduced. Human intelligence must be applied to the solution of our social problems, and we must find ways for individuals and institutions to be capable of continuous change, continuous respon­ siveness, and the self-renewal of the kind that John W. Gardner, one of the country's wisest men, has written about so eloquently. Mr. Gardner's recent experience in Illinois when the Illinois Constitutional Convention would not let him deliver a speech he had been invited to prepare has some interesting aspects. The first, I believe, is that his speech was given wide treatment in all the media because he was not allowed to deliver it. If it had been delivered, I doubt whether many of us would ever have had the benefit of his wisdom and insights into our social problems. I would like to quote for you: Virtually all of us have failed our duty as Americans. The failure goes to every level and every phase of American life: drug addiction in the slums and corruption in high places; crime in the streets and cor­ porate fraud; personal immorality and betrayals of public trust. I think all of you will find it hard to believe that these are not the words of John W. Gardner, but the words of Abraham Lincoln in his farewell address at Spring­ field as he departed for Washington in February of 1861. What Lincoln said 109 years ago showed evi­ dence of the same social disintegration that Mr. Gard­ ner meant when he wrote in his undelivered speech: But there is something better in us ns Americans, something better than fear and anger and pre­ judice, something better than selfishness, some­ thing better than the lazy, comfortable inclination to blame others. There is in us, if our leaders will ask for it, the courage and stamina to face our problems honestly, to admit that we are partly to blame for them, and to identify paths of constructive action. In this case, John Gardner has addressed himself to some of the qualities that society, its institutions, and its individuals need to reach self-expression and self-realization. But, in the last analysis, society and its institutions are really individuals, and it is with you, the individual, that the hope for tomorrow re­ sides. If you, the men and women in the class of 1970, are determined to succeed, the chances are much in your favor that you will be successful. It has been my observation that the successful men and women in the world can isolate and identify those personal characteristics that become the principles on which they live their lives. Gardner identified some when he said, “courage and stamina to face problems honestly,” one of the better definitions for the larger concept of integrity. Other qualities might be initia­ tive, the willingness to work hard to accomplish your goal. In my judgment, American corporations have been successful because of one basic reason: they do a better job of planning where they want to go and how they are going to get there than any other nation's corporations. Planning is a way of life. Amer­ ican institutions will have to do a better job of plan­ ning for their future than they have in the past. We should redesign many of our institutions to meet the needs of tomorrow. Individuals, loo, must have a plan, a dream, of where ho wants to go and what he wants to do with his life. He, too, must deal with change. There are many high school guidance counselors who will tell you rather positively that it is not diffi­ cult to predict the students who will succeed in high­ er education and at whatever vocation they choose in life. They characterize them as the "achievers." Why do they achieve? Why are they successful? Most will say it is because the achiever has applied his intelligence: he is committed to what he does: he has the willingness to work for what he wants. But. most of all, he combines all of these qualities in an orchestrated effort that results in achievement. It may be trite to say, but I believe it to be true: excel­ lence is just a little bit better than good. It is some­ times only the next step, but it must be taken.

Farley o (The following is the complete text of the Baccalaureate address given by Dr. Eugene S. Farley as his last official talk as president of Wilkes College to the members of the 1970 graduating class and their guests.) Man has changed his world so rapidly that he is now an alien in the world of his own creation. He has created a new house in which to live but he has not yet learned to live in it. During the past half century, he has multiplied his knowledge and increased his confusion. He has abandoned old beliefs and old in­ stitutions, but as yet he has failed to adopt new beliefs and better in­ stitutions. The physical changes, that we note so readily, affect us less than those unseen changes that have taken place in the minds of men. and the irrational, I suggest that you look about you. If you do so, you will see that intelligence sus­ tained by faith has released the atom and has taken men to the moon. The men who conceived these great advances were, just a few years ago, looked upon as im­ practical visionaries who believed that the impossible was possible. What is this, but faith? choosing requires great intelligence, massive information, difficult deci­ sions, and great self-discipline. It is possible that mankind is as yet un­ ready to make such critical deci­ sions or to adopt essential disci­ plines. In 1970, it may still be true, as it was in the 1920’s, when Som­ erset Maugham wrote, “man has always found it easier to die than to learn the multiplication tables. We are confused and threatened by the conflicting forces that sur- In this age of contradiction and paradox, man still finds it difficult to recognize and accept the alterna­ tives that lie before him. In spite of the growing evidence that sur­ rounds him, he may still be un­ ready to accept those ideas and alternatives that will enable him to reconcile his conflicts so that he may unite in a common effort to humanize mankind. For the first time in the history of mankind, man has it within his power to destroy simultaneously, the several current civilizations that he has painfully created over eons of time. We are faced with the need to make critical decisions for which few of us are prepared intellectual­ ly. If we opt for the survival of our civilization, we face the necessity of acting with intelligence and of sustaining this intelligence with faith. Our need for clarity of vision and an informed intelligence should be apparent to all thoughtful per­ sons. In the midst of our current dilem­ ma — with nation opposing nation, ____ , neighbor clashing with neighbor, and ideology discrediting ideology — we need a clarity of vision that will penetrate the animosities of groups. To sustain ourselves, we re­ quire a clarity of vision that will enable us to analyze and evaluate lhe competitive efforts of govern­ ments and groups to control the minds of men. If this union of a visionary i' ' ■ • ■ intelligence and a sustaining faith seems to require a union of the rational .. DR. EUGENE S. FARLEY Chancellor round us, and our consciousness is hammered by the daily reports of conflicts and tensions. If we are to resolve this confusion, we must understand its causes and its na­ ture. Il may help if we accept the fact that this confusion is a product of ignorance multiplied by intelli­ gence. Ignorance sustains prejudice and bigotry; it closes the minds of men to the nature of the threats that confront them and to the pos­ sibilities of a new world that can be theirs for the choosing. But this page / 14 To attain this unity, man must restore meaning to his life and re­ gain confidence in himself. And, to accomplish these complementary goals, I suspect he must first ac­ knowledge that there can be a pur­ pose to life and that man can create this purpose. By adopting construc­ tive goals, he can give purpose to his life and can motivate his own efforts. By involving himself in con­ structive effort, he may resolve both his personal and social crises and avoid the great abyss that yawns before humanity at this point in its immense journey. There is always the danger that we will oversimplify our problems in the hope that we can avoid those prolonged uncertainties and intense efforts that are required for the res­ olution of these problems. There is also a danger that we will permit lhe complexity of our problems to confuse and paralyze us. Today, as I meet with you for lhe last lime, I am risking oversimplifi- cation of our condition. I do so, however, in the hope that it will encourage you to encompass the infinite complexities of modern so­ ciety in a concept that may enable you to equate the contradictions of our times. By so doing, I hope that you may be prepared to participate in and to resolve the human prob­ lems that confront us. —■ And, by human problems, I mean all things that affect the lives of men. These may be such personal problems as fear, prejudice, inner conflicts, and alienation; or they may be social problems created by technology, pollution, overpopulation, or cul­ tural lag. If we are to resolve these varied problems, we must relate them to the welfare of man; and then, as some contemporary think­ ers suggest, we must painstakingly create a society that is worthy of man, a society that will enable man to attain the stature and condition that can be his if he will but use his knowledge and mind to envision and create such a society. The creation of a society de­ signed to enhance and enrich the lives of men is visionary, utopian, and possibly impracticable. It is just possible, however, that such visionary thinking is required if science and technology are to save man rather than destroy him. We may be living in a day when the inconceivable must be conceived and the impossible must become the commonplace. If this in itself sounds impossible, I remind you that this has happened time and again during this century. Surely, if the impossible has already been accomplished, the impossible can again be made possible. And now, may I suggest to you that the first task to be undertaken is the restoration of man’s image of himself. This means that he must regain a new measure of faith, not the blind acceptance of his forebears but a belief that man, who can release the force ------ of the atom and can journey into the vast spaces of the universe, can also cultivate his greatest resource, "the unsovereigned beaches of the mind". Never again are we likely to con­ ceive of ourselves as being created in the image of God, but we may yet recognize that the resources of man s mind and spirit are our great­ est assets. We must remind our­ selves of the immense journey man has made during his many millenia on this globe. We must remember that the human mind and spirit have raised man beyond the level of other animals. But we must also remember that if we are to attain the full stature of which human beings are capable, it is essential that we first be healthy organisms. A healthy mind and a vital spirit are our only means of shaping our future in freedom. Only these two things, mind and spirit, differentiate us from the other species of the animal world. It is, therefore, the mind and spirit that we must cul­ tivate. Sometimes the rational mind finds itself in conflict with irrational be­ lief. When this happens, the rational mind must examine belief to deter­ mine its validity. As Kierkegaard noted, this can be a disturbing ex­ perience, for there is a tendency of the mind to reject any fact or truth that cannot be fitted into a system of belief. To accept such an alien fact causes the whole system of be­ lief to crumble. Therefore, the un­ trained or the regimented mind re­ jects the truth in order to retain the belief. The principle of rejec­ tion enunciated by Kierkegaard has page / 15 always been true, and my own awareness of it first came while I was teaching at the University of Pennsylvania. A group of able and idealistic students often remained after the formal class had ended. As I became familiar with them, I was surprised to learn that all of these fine young people considered themselves to be agnostics or athe­ ists. Only after hours of discussion did it dawn on me that they were neither atheistic noi- agnostic in any true sense. They were, however, unable to accept the symbol of God that had been given them in their early years. They had been taught to accept an anthropomorphic god, but the universe, of which they were gaining knowledge, was too great an entity to have been created by any deity resembling man. So in rejecting the symbol of God that had been given them, they thought they were rejecting all belief in a divine power. Thirty years after this experience, a Christian Scientist visiting the University of Moscow was asked by students how he could believe in God. His answer was very differ­ ent from the symbol that equated man with God, but it was accept­ able to the convinced atheists. To their question he replied, God is a creative force that pervades the universe and is present in every man. After a few moments of thoughtful silence, the predeter­ mined atheists replied, “If that is your concept of God, we can be­ lieve with you.” Possibly these two examples il­ lustrate the dilemma of man. For long centuries he thought of him­ self as a human replica of God. It was, of course, a grandiose concept, for who can conceive of man as God? Yet grandiose as it was, it �gave man a sense of significance, at such an answer, unacceptable and for centuries this concept sus­ though it must be, it may help to tained men. But, as science revealed consider briefly a few of those the vastness and diversity of the great advances in knowledge which universe and the infinite smallness have both enlightened and confused and complexity of the atom, the mankind. concept of a God resembling man Gravity is one of the phenomena could hardly be accepted by the in­ formed mind.

And unhappily, in later knowledge so that he may relate it centuries, sociologists and psycholto himself and to his institutions. ogists drew upon this concept to So it is that when confronted by a create the image of a mechanical threat resulting from his own gen­ man. ius, he fails to apply this same in­ telligence to his own survival. We are fortunate, however, that a few men of genius now strive to unify this growing pool of knowledge and to relate it to the welfare of man­ kind. They endeavor to cultivate an understanding that will enable man to rediscover his place in a world that, although infinitely old, is very new to man. They anticipate that as he rediscovers his place in this new world, he may rediscover himself and lose that sense of alien­ ation which today creates inner strife and external conflict. You will recall that I earlier re­ marked that I was groping for a simplistic answer that would en­ compass some of the complexities of our time. In attempting to arrive Two centuries after Newton, the studies and theories of Charles Dar­ win suggested that life on this globe had evolved over eons of time. His explanation of man’s probable ori­ gins clashed with long-accepted be­ lief, and the resultant strife was bitter, prolonged, and irrational. Those who refused even to consider Darwin’s facts and theories natural­ ly rejected all his accumulated evi­ dence. Those who were willing to consider his theory examined his facts and added to them. In con­ sequence of continual inquiry and fact finding, the concept of evolution is now widely accepted and the evidences that support it go back for billions of years. A few years after Darwin, Sig­ mund Freud began his studies and, Page/ 16 again, his findings and ideas collid­ ed with accepted belief. For cen­ turies, those who had conceived of man as being created in the image of God had endeavored to suppress the sexual instincts that assured man's survival. In the effort to deify man, sex had been looked upon as an evil that had to be sup­ pressed. Unfortunately, this sup­ pression brought culture into con­ flict with nature — to the detriment of mankind. By revealing the inner conflicts and emotional disturb­ ances created by man’s attempt to suppress one of nature’s fundamen­ tal drives. Freud also opened a Pandora’s box. For more than half a century, the Victorian concepts of morality clashed with the findings and rev­ elations of psychoanalysts. And, unhappily, in the clashing of opin­ ions, emotions again submerged rational inquiry, and extreme posi­ tions were taken by both the Freud­ ians and the anti-Freudians. Al­ though much has been gained, and will be gained, from Freud’s find­ ings, it is only in the last two dec­ ades that reason has modified, corrected, and improved some of his findings and his methods. The total impact of these accum­ ulative findings and theories dem­ onstrates the power of man’s mind and should enhance his self-image. They have not done so, however, for these findings and theories cre­ ate a temporary conflict between man’s conscious mind and his sub­ conscious mind. The results are traumatic, for they destroy the irrational image of man without creating a new and more realistic image. In destroying the irrational image, they create a conflict within the minds of those whose beliefs are nurtured by the subconscious. By so doing, they add to man’s problems. Man has always found it easier to deal with that which is familiar than with that which is unrecognized and unknown. But, man's image was to be still further undermined. Pavlov's ex­ periments with dogs led psychol­ ogists to explain man’s character and behavior in terms of stimuli and response. This concept was grasped so firmly and was so wide­ ly accepted in the 1920’s that John B. Watson, a leading determinist of his time, abandoned the study of psychology to enter the field of ad­ vertising. From this vantage point, he apparently hoped to manipulate and control the lives of men. [And who can say today that we are not manipulated by advertising?] So we observe that man's self­ image has been, for several cen­ turies, battered and bruised by the findings of scientists and the con­ jectures of intellectuals. It appears now' that, at long last, we are reach­ ing a point where additional infor­ mation and new thinking suggest that man is neither a mechanical machine nor a predetermined ani­ mal. There is growing evidence that he can, in some measure, determine his own life and govern his own actions. He is more than a machine; he is more than an animal: he has within him a mind that can give him a measure of freedom — if he will but use it to that end. Eric Fromm, some years ago, sug­ gested that although man’s freedom is limited by environmental and social influences, he can gain a measure of freedom by creating his own alternatives. His ability to choose from these alternatives is the measure of his freedom to in­ fluence his own destiny. Only where he has a choice is he free. Without alternatives, his thinking is predetermined and he is entirely the creature of his environment. In each age, those who have faith in man's ability to improve his lot have cultivated the great concepts upon which freedom must depend. They have sensed sensed that that freedom freedom must be based --.J upon upon respect respect for for others, a willingness to accept and , „--- .j accept and evaluate new ideas, equality of op­ portunity, and faith in man’s ability to improve himself. To support these principles, men have devel­ oped political and social institutions which are designed to protect the individual from the oppression of the masses, while simultaneously protecting the masses from the dep­ redations of individuals. To be sure, we have not succeeded in attaining these goals, and we never will, for they will ever be beyond us. parity. This is the consequence of our search for better ways of deal­ ing with one another. We have dis­ covered alternatives to long accept­ ed practices and beliefs but we have yet to demonstrate our willingness to accept a choice that will unite us. In consequence, we live in the midst of tension which is the in­ evitable concomitant of uncertainty. Man always seeks for a sense of certainty even though this certainty clashes with his sense of justice and violates his own ideals. It is tension that gives man an incen­ tive to move ahead, but it is also tension that leads to alienation, encourages violence, and creates instability. Tension, in proper quan­ tities, is a great motivator; in ex­ cess, it destroys reason. Man’s quest for identity, for sig­ nificance, and for freedom has never been easy. Those who believe in the creative capabilities of man have always been challenged and deterred by the doubters and the Today, physical, social, and ideo­ disbelievers. This is true today as it has always been. However, the logical changes engulf us.

CALL YOUR OLD COLLEGE FRIENDS AND MAKE UP A PARTY! page / 17 �Nothing but optimism precedes the 1970 coming of the "Golden Horde" but football is a funny game and the prudent fan will realize there is often little differ­ ence between an 8-0 team and one with an 0-8 misfortune. © © na © © Fall Outlook Football fever is right around the cor­ ner as the Wilkes Grid Colonels are rapidly approaching their 25th year of pigskin activity at the college. Coach Roland Schmidt, who has seen his teams glide through the last five years winning 37 of 40 games, would like nothing better than to see his upcoming edition enter the 1970’s with the same "pride and poise” shown in the glorious 1960’s. The 1970 season should indeed be very interesting for all Colonel followers. On September 1, Coach Schmidt anticipates the arrival of 100 hopefuls, which would be the largest turnout in Wilkes history. Returning are 31 lettermen, including 15 who saw starting duty in 1969. The most critical areas of concern of the Blue and Gold coaching staff will come at the offense — both on the line where graduation has taken Ed Burke, Les Loveland, and George Conway and at the quarterback slot which will find the name of Joe Zakowski missing after four record breaking campaigns. The season officially starts at home on September 26 with Lycoming providing the opposition and ends seven weeks later with Muskingum at the same locale. Brand new foes on the 1970 card include Alfred, Central Connecticut, and Mus­ kingum while East Stroudsburg returns to the fold after a four-year lapse. Sen­ iors Harry Hoover and Jim Loveland have been chosen by fellow teammates to co­ captain the Blue and Gold. The complete schedule includes: (H) September 26 — Lycoming October 3 — Moravian (A) October 10 — Delaware Valley (A) (Homecoming) October 17 — Ithaca October 24 — Alfred (H) October 31 — E. Stroudsburg (A) November 7 — So. Connecticut (A) November 14 — Muskingum (H) Another Fall sport which has gained increased fan appeal is the Wilkes soccer team. The soccermen have been peren­ nial winners and the upcoming season does likewise look very bright. Equipped with a new coach Thomas Rokita, the Wilkes soccermen will lift the lid on a new campaign on September 19 with an exhibition match with the Alumni and include 12 matches ending on November 14. The 1970 schedule: September 25 — Upsala September 29 — Moravian October 3 — Phila. Textile October 7 — Muhlenberg October 10 — Lycoming October 13 — Scranton October 17 — Stevens October 23 — Wagner October 28 — Harpur October 31 — Madison FDU November 7—Susquehanna November 14 — Elizabethtown (H) (A) (A) (A) (H) (H) (A) (A) (H) (A) (H) (A) Spring L iesuits Wilkes College Spring athletic squads closed out one of their most successful schedules in history, combining for a 26-17 record. The baseball and golf teams, both under the tutelage of first year men­ tors, led the pack with 11-6 and 8-3 rec­ ords respectively. The diamondmen of Gene Domzalski stayed in the thick of the MAC pennant race until two late season loses to Ursinus and Philadelphia Textile knocked them out of competition. For the second year in a row, the Colonels finished run­ ner-up to Upsala for the Northern Divi­ sion title. The Wilkesmen did receive some consolation with an early season 6-3 win over the Vikings, which snapped a 24-game winning streak. Roland Schmidt, rookie golf coach bet­ ter known for his gridiron teams, wasted little time in putting the Wilkes duffers back on the golf map as he guided his linksters to a 8-3 finish. Marty Monaghan, the only senior on the entire squad was the surprise of the year as he posted a 9-1-1 dual record in addition to a second place tie in the Middle Atlantic Confer­ ence Tournament. Another first year coach, Ron Rainey, directed the Wilkes tennis team to a 5-5 record. The future also looks bright for the netmen with Doug Valenteen and Jon Schiffman, both Juniors coming through with 7-3 logs. The lacrosse team in their initial year of intercollegiate competition, fought to a 2-3 talley. Senior defensemen Dave Bogusko led the charges of Jon Hobrock in the scoring department with 10 points. a 97® ®<ST©ISEK a 7 ibi®w©©mew It will be a mad scramble for his va­ cant position by no less than seven can­ didates.

The addition of several outstanding freshmen from last year should add the spice to what may be the premier de­ fense of Wilkes annals. Offensively, the Colonels should move with fullback Bob Gennaro (446 yards, 7 TD’s in 1969) and mini-mite Ted Yeager (1331 yards from 1968-69) running out of the stables.

It will not be, as in the past, the industrial sector. I hope that colleges will adopt the Princeton Plan and that in the last two weeks in October some college stu­ dents will take an active involvement in our election of public officials. As a nation we have been far too apathetic about our politics and politicians. We must, I believe, vastly improve both if we are to change for the better many of our national political and social problems, because their solutions call for new federal legislation and more federal funds. These will not come about unless our elected representatives in Washington rethink our problems, restructure the government, and reallocate our taxes. What better experience would there be in our politics than an active part in a political election. In last month's Fortune Magazine there is a very interesting article written by Louis Banks, the Man­ aging Editor of that magazine. He was the recipient of the Nieman Research Fellowship at Harvard and spent last year on campus there. The central theme of his article is that today’s graduate, because of the unresolved conflict between science and technology and business, "is the first generation in American his­ tory to graduate into adult life without optimism." I don't agree with this premise presented by Mr. Banks. In 1792 Edmund Burke said: "To complain of the age we live, to mur­ mur at the present possessors of power, to lament the past, to conceive extrava­ gant hopes of the future are the common dispositions of the greatest part of man­ kind." Certainly, thirty-four years ago, when Eugene and Eleanor Farley came to Wilkes-Barre in the middle of a so-called “Great Depression” to start a college in three rented rooms to provide an education for the sons and daughters of mostly poverty-stricken coal miners, that, loo, could have been considered a generation without much hope. If ever there was a living testimonial to how one dedicated man and woman can shape an institution, and, indeed, a re­ gion, its culture, and the lives of the several thousand graduates of Wilkes College, it is in the task per­ formed so brilliantly over more than three decades by our beloved and retiring president. Il is the indi­ vidual, in the last analysis, that shapes our institu­ tions and our nation. In your careers in business there will be no room for the so-called “organization man.” What is needed is the non-organization man. Whether or not you can shape the policy of your in­ stitutions as well as its operations will depend on you and your commitment and dedication. There is much written today in the folklore of management about what makes one corporation or business organization, whether profit-making or non­ profit, better than its competitors and outstanding in its field. In my judgment, it is not money and the capital it takes to run an enterprise. It is not really the effective and efficient use of time. Nearly all or­ ganizations have about equal amounts of money and time. The real determiner of success of an enterprise is the human effort. What do I mean by human ef­ fort? Quite simply, I believe that the forces that mo­ tivate and drive people in an organization toward its pre-determined objectives are its pride, its spirit, its self-respect, and a sense of real accomplishment in the realization that that organization is using its knowledge and information more successfully than its competitors. Of course, pride, spirit, self-respect, and a sense of accomplishment are only words unless there is a leader who is directing the human effort and managing the resources of the organization. Dr. Eugene S. Farley has built this institution from the three rooms into the vital, strong, growing college it is today and will be tomorrow under the dedicated leadership of our new President Dr. Francis Michelini. And, for the qualities of leadership in both of these men, we take great comfort and pride. I must confess that last February, when Dr. Far­ ley asked me to talk to you, I was rather surprised. And it is with a real sense of humility that I have approached this task. The events of April and May make February seem a long time ago. At the time he asked me, I said to myself, who made the speech at my graduation ceremonies here in 1951. I confess to you I do not know, and I think that nineteen years from now few, if any of you will remember who spoke to you at your commencement ceremony. And that is really not important. What is really important, and I hope you will always remember it, is that as you go through life you will do many things in your professional and personal careers. Do them well. You are and always will be a self-directing individual. The freedoms we enjoy as Americans living in a free society began with the individual. It must not end there. page / 22 THE WSLEEJ COLLEGE CHAIR • Wilkes College Seal is a Gold copy of the original design. • Suitable for office or home. • Made of northern birch and finished in black and gold trim. • Distinctive and comfortable.

MIKE'AS NEW PRESIDENT HIGHLIGHTED 1970 ACTIVITIES AT WILKES COLLEGE �De David R. Goddard Extends Multiple Greetings By Dr. David R. Goddard Provost, University of Pennsylvania Representative, American Philosophical Society National Academy of Science University of Pennsylvania Delegate Governor Scranton, Chancellor Farley, President Michelini, delegates, trustees, faculty, students and friends: I have been asked to bring greetings to Wilkes College and to your new president. First, I would like to bring greetings from all the delegates of all the institutions of higher learning that are sharing in honoring Wilkes and its president this day. This Saturday, I would like to bring greetings from all of the scholarly societies represented here. Of the educational institutions, Harvard is much the oldest of us. In the scholarship societies, the American Phil­ osophical Society, founded in Philadelphia by Ben­ jamin Franklin, is the oldest. And the National Acad­ emy of Science in Washington sends greetings. But perhaps I can be personal for a moment. When Francis Michelini took his Ph.D. degree at the Uni­ versity of Pennsylvania, the professor—his professor —who shared the direction of his work is here today as are some of his fellow students of that day. And to the second president of Wilkes College, may the twentieth Provost of the University of Pennsylvania bring you greetings and a word of advice. I will not repeat the eloquent speech of our former Governor; I can only say that he so completely un­ derstands academic freedom, I wish he were also my student. But let me say to an administrator from an old administrator, the business of higher education is education and learning. The conservation of knowl­ edge is its transmittal. I: is not propaganda; it is not doctrine; but is free inquiry. The president of a col­ lege must be a teacher. Fie can no longer order faculty and students; but he can lead them, if he is a real teacher. Wilkes College has a proud tradition. I am sure that your new president will be its greatest teacher. Over 7,000 Alumni Forward Wish To 'Dr. Mike' By Joseph Savitz, Esq. Alumni Representative by EUGENE S. FARLEY President Michelini, Chancellor Farley, Governor Scranton, reverend clergy, fellow members of the Board of Trustees, distinguished delegates and guests, and friends and alumni of Wilkes College: Chancellor and First President Wilkes College A proud and happy alumni of over 7,000 Wilkes collegians, spread throughout this country, are related to extend their warmest greetings to the newly-inaugurated president of Wilkes, Dr. Francis J. Michelini. This is a rare occasion at Wilkes College. I hope that it will remain a rare occasion. In other words, I am hoping that the man we in­ augurate today will serve for a great number of years and that he will realize some of the goals that he has set for himself and for the college. I am privileged on behalf of the faculty to wel­ come the delegates from other sister institutions and friends of the college. Over the last few days I have been impressed by an unusual feeling about this inauguration. On Thurs­ day, the students had a special program for Dr. Michelini, and in jest they expressed the good will that they feel for him, and then last night, there was an all-college party for those who work for the col­ lege: and one of the guests at that party remarked “the thing that impresses me is the happiness of the people there.” And to me, this expresses something of the influ­ ence and character of our new president. It is a happy occasion for all of us who have joined in the effort to make this a significant occa­ sion for Dr. Michelini. As I indicated, the students added warmth to their program of greeting; the faculty demonstrated and all the employees demonstrated at the party the hearty warmth of their feelings, and I must say, the person who appreciates this most of all is the man who is succeeded by Francis Michelini. So, I want to thank you for coming and I hope you will sense something of the warmth and feeling that we have for our new president. And now, I want to introduce our speaker. He is known to all of you, but to us he is a neighbor, a fiiend, and an honorary alumnus of the college. 7 n it is for these qualities and these associations we feel a particular warmth towards him. He's a man has been distinguished, not by the offices he has helm even though he has held distinguished offices a has refused distinguished offices. Rather, he is di mguished for services he has rendered. I am happy to introduce to you William Scranton. Affectionately known as "Dr. Mike," this young educator will bring to Wilkes a background of scholarly achievement, an administrative know-how, the confidence of the faculty and administration; indeed, of the entire alumni and student body; and above all, his noble and intense dedication to the college he has come to revere in his short 15-year tenure. His experience has been forged and tempered by the strong right hand of our first president, Dr. Eugene S. Farley. We know that Dr. Michelini's education, his drive and his devotion and good sense which he exemplifies in these days of unrest and frustration will lead Wilkes College to newer and greater heights. We predict that “Dr. Mike" will take off from the threshold of Dr. Farley's prior achievements, which have resulted in a strong and solid foundation. "Dr. Mike's" keen mind, his experience as a student in government, as a scholar and—yes—as a devoted partner and father; and above all, his humility and sense of humor will help him to lead Wilkes College to newer plateaus from which this institution will grow from strength to strength and further distinguish itself in the realm of education and civic betterment. The alumni are delighted and thrilled to welcome "Dr. Mike," his charming wife, Anne Marie, and his three lovely children to the family of Wilkes College. May his tenure be a long and happy one. page / 5 Page / 4 __ �Principal Address Given by Hon. William W. Scranton Former Governor of Pennsylvania and Chairman of President's Commission on Campus Unrest The Counselor to the President of the United States, Pat Moynihan, says, "Anyone who attempts a serious statement about higher education at this moment courts serious trouble.” I and my fellow commissioners are example number one of the truth of this statement. The answer, of course, is that solu­ tions to major problems don’t come easily. They are hard, real problems and demand hard, real solutions. That takes work — and sometimes much trouble. After the killings at Kent State and Jackson State this past spring and the bombing at the University of Wisconsin this summer, this fall has been compar­ atively calm on the campuses. There is, what one President called, “an eerie tranquility.” President Nixon's "peace initiative” has helped. Not only is it a vital statement concerning the war itself, but it also helped greatly in abating disorder on the campuses and, more importantly, in uniting the country. But no intelligent person would say that we can now become ostriches with our heads in the sand and forget the whole problem of campus dis­ order convinced that it will never occur again. What must we do? Well, the President’s Commis­ sion has made recommendations to all of us — the law enforcement agencies, the universities, the gov­ ernment, students, and many others. I shall not bur­ den you with recantations of these recommendations or the Commission's findings, but I do hope that you will take the time to read the report, unlike others, particularly politicians, who insisted upon comment­ ing without reading. Certainly, it behooves us all to think very care­ fully what kinds of alternatives to disorder we want. It would be simple, for example, to insist upon going back to the status-quo ante. In my judgment, that is no answer; it will simply assure further disruption. We can go the route of repression which as Mar­ garet Chase Smith pointed out is the road we will take rather than have disorder turn to anarchy. No responsible American wants a repressive society. Today I wish to discuss just two aspects of the answer to the question "What must we do." First, something we must not do. Many young people, and some older ones, in America today are questioning basic values, they are saying that America has become too materialistic, authoritarian, dehumanizing, and unjust. They mean to change all that and supplant it with “the new values.” It is not easy to find a precise definition of what these new values are. In one big mouthful I have de­ scribed them as having elements of Christianity, Judaism and the Declaration of Independence! In short, there is much that is good in the new values if we would but try to learn what they are and under­ stand them. Just as colleges and universities are the major arena for this movement for change; so they are be­ coming a major target of criticism from the public. In the pendulum and cycling of conditions in a Re­ public this happens to institutions from time to time — to business, to labor, to government, and now to higher education. In the last two years the public at­ titude toward higher education has changed percept­ ibly and in many ways it is now quite unpleasant. Up until recently, higher education had been pretty much left alone — even by legislators. “It was as­ sumed the educators knew best." Obviously, this assumption is disappearing rapidly, partly because universities have not been responding to people gen­ erally or to public opinion. As the public becomes more and more deeply concerned about higher edu­ cational institutions in this country, these institutions become subject to much public pressure, a situation to which they are not in the least accustomed. What I am trying to say in one simple sentence is this: There are two growing pressures on higher education in America, from the advocates of the new values on the campuses and from the public outside. One possibility resulting from these pressures is the politicization of the university and the curtail­ ment or eradication of academic freedom. It could happen. In some ways it is happening now. Many people in their desire for change are demanding that the universities "choose up and take sides.” This can be very tempting. Those of us who are deeply con­ cerned about the social injustices in this country, particularly for Blacks and Chicanos, can be enticed by the idea of using the universities or any other in­ stitutional structure to help effect the changes in our society that are long overdue for these minorities. Many of the old defenses of academic freedom are falling. Even such a basic one as tenure. Let me quote a recent commentator: "Tenure was at one time page / 7 �a generally effective a™ f°rA hi ]d of tenure, a freedom. Once safely behind the stueia fgar faculty member could speak his , is a[most of being fired. Now ‘hat academic freedom y js dead or menaced most sharply, espe institutions, by radical students and faculty, tenure no longer a sufficient guard for freedom. In fa , irrevelant, because the threat now is not losing one* job, but losing one’s classroom or safety pment life." This may sound like an exaggerated statement right now, but last spring it was not. On politicization I quote three brief paragraphs from the Commission report: “The university should be an open forum where speakers of every poin view could be heard. The area of permitted speecn and conduct should be at least as broad as that pro tected by the First Amendment.” "Academic institutions must be free — free from outside interference and free from internal intimida­ tion. Far too many people who should know better both within university communities and outside them — have forgotten this first principle of academic free­ dom. The pursuit of knowledge cannot continue with­ out the free exchange of ideas." "Obviously, all members of the academic com­ munity, as individuals, should be free to participate actively in whatever campaigns of causes they choose. But universities as institutions must remain politically neutral except in those rare cases in which their own integrity, educational purpose, or preserva­ tion is at stake." I think at long last Americans generally are alert and awake to the possibility of an infringement upon the principle of academic freedom from within the university communities themselves. I wonder if they are quite as alert to the possibility that this could take place from without. There is now so much criticism of the higher edu­ cational institutions in this country, some of which is well warranted, that there is a possibility we "shall go much too far.” If you think I am exaggerating this contention, I suggest you see a list of the educational bills that have been introduced in legislatures all over the country and in the Congress of the United States. These include not only conditions to the appropria­ tion of funds but actual infringements on the civil liberties of persons within the university commun­ ities themselves. Fortunately, wise heads are becom­ ing alert to these efforts also. President Nixon, from the very beginning of his administration, has taken a position unequivocally opposed to such legislation I suggest you read his message to the Congress in March of 1969. Having discussed one element of this problem from the standpoint of what we should not do I now turn to the universities themselves and what should selves together. eih- At the turn of the Century, university presiH were very powerful; in some cases, almost di Frequently, the Boards of Trustees were rub‘h°rsstampish. Clearly that has changed perceptively7' dav in most instances, the taculties are very Dm ful indeed, and the exercise of these powers hasT' come quite difficult as faculties grow in sizeS be, diversity. At one university, a President reports th . for three years the faculty meetings consisted nJ?1 of taking roll call. Finally, the roll call was abandons except for votes and so practically nobody turned for meetings! When I told this story to another PrpsP ident, his retort was "Hovy did he ever get the facu] to have a roll call in the first place?!" y Many of the powers that once ident’s now are in the hands of the desired by the students. As we know, subject is often the basis for campus were the Pres faculty and are this contentious protests. Most Boards of Trustees are still comparatively innocuous. One of the greatest mistakes that the public makes in its conception of a university is that the President has strong administrative powers similar to those of the President of the United States or the Governor of a State or the President of a business corporation. Some do — by force of personality. Most are hemmed in by committees, faculty prerogatives, governmental interference, alumni interests, etc. In short, a look at how most universities operate leaves one in wonder that they operate at all! In addition, the universities and colleges in this country for the most part have grown in size by leaps and bounds in recent years. In some instances, like Topsy “they just growed” and now they are topsy­ turvy. Some are overgrown. Students become IBM numbers. Faculty members, more ivory-towered than ever, under-teach and over-research and strive to publish. Immediately, there is a need for universities to pull themselves together to respond to disorder. The administration must be organized for crisis. The role of the students, the faculty, the administrators, and the trustees must be clearly defined and practically applied; the limits of permissable conduct defined, the disciplinary system modernized and understood, and where there is a university police force (or stu­ be thoroughly dent and faculty marshals), they must L. rained and their roles understood. Likewise, in pulling the universities together there !? n<ied ,for reform in governance; services, both ‘he local community and the Federal Government, and the commitments of the faculty thereto; reforms currlcula and degree requirements. (Continued on page 23) Page / 8 �‘... It is important to realize that the President serves .• • by Francis J. Michelini President, Wilkes College It is truly an honor to have been selected as the second President of Wilkes College, and I accept these symbols of office with the promise to exert every effort to fulfill the responsibilities of this or fice. It is appropriate to recognize, however, the tra dition and symbolism that belong to the ins in > not the President. It is important to realize hat the President "serves” the institution as he implements the philosophy of education developed by its toun ers, its Board, and interpreted by its Presidents. Wilkes College is unique in its good fortune of having had Dr. Farley leading and guiding it through its formative years. His influence in the interpreta­ tion of the philosophy of this College is commemo­ rated forever in the two symbols presented here to­ day: the Medallion Chain of Office — its key link bearing his likeness — and the Mace, with that ex­ quisite statement “Unity Amidst Diversity.” Equally apparent to all in the beautiful words and music of our Alma Mater is the shared sensitivity to his mis­ sion of his late wife, Eleanor Farley. Few institutions have such a statement of love and hope for its stu­ dents as we have in our Alma Mater. The symbols of office warrant our closer attention. The physical description of the sterling silver, handhammered shaft rising to a bowl is symbolic of the melting pot of Wyoming Valley and this Nation. It is representative of the immigrant status of this Nation’s people. Central to this bowl is the inserted College Seal, and it truly represents the commitment of Amer­ icans — from the earliest days of our national in­ ception — to education. The inscription around the rim of the bowl “Unity Amidst Diversity” clearly states how the founders of this institution and its leaders, like Dr. Farley, Arnaud Marts, Gilbert Mc­ Clintock, Admiral Stark, Andrew Sordoni, Walter Carpenter, Dorothy Darte, Reuben Levy, Annette Evans, Charles Waller, viewed education in this Community. They recognized it as the only way the divisive forces of ethnic origin, religion and social class, could be minimized — the only way a unity of respect for the individual could be achieved. Actually, it is reflective of the American Nation which, in its two hundred years of history as an in­ dependent nation, has always recognized education as the way in which it would achieve the true oppor­ tunity of this country. Look at the dates of the found­ ing of the educational institutions represented here today, and you see a history of our national commit­ ment to education. The people who came to this Na tion to make a new life saw the freedom, the oppor" tunity to progress as individuals. They saw that in such a society, they would not be limited by thp. race or their creed or their background, their pci'*61? origin, their social or economic standing, by ia^ ° primogeniture - but could earn respect by individ ° human achievement and worth. And you know t don’t stop often enough to recognize what has achieved in the accomplishment of this unity amid , the diversity of the people of America. When vn? look around the world and see a country, such a Ireland with a thousand years of common culturP common background, presently in a conflict between Protestant and Catholic, and unable to reconcile thi single difference; when you look at Canada, again a Nation of common heritage that is undergoing the agony of the separatist movement that cannot recon cile differences in language; when you look at Euro", pean nations where cross-cultural exchange for thou­ sands of years has consistently failed to reconcile national differences. Then as you look at America and our own Wyoming Valley and find forty-two different ethnic groups, seventeen different churches within three blocks of where you’re sitting with countless more in the Valley; people that have learned to live in harmony, to work together to enjoy the common achievements of this society. Certainly we have in this College and in this Community the proof of the diversity of our culture. And we also have the proof of the benefits that can derive from working with unity to accomplish particular ends. a problem that derives from our success, not from failure. It's a problem that must be looked at from the context of what we have achieved in this diversity of cultures, and this diversity of interests. And it must be looked upon as a challenge rather than as a defeat. But really, the question we have to ask ourselves today is “Are we in danger of losing this base of diversity and the benefits of the variety of ideas that are required to generate solutions to these new prob­ lems as solutions to our problems in the past were found.” On campuses where we see the trauma of disruption, the disrespect for the rights of those of a different view, are we not in danger of losing the unity that comes from the strength of our diversity? Does an institution that moves into the arena of tak­ ing political positions lose sight of its basic strengths, the opportunity to encourage expression of all posi­ tions? We see this trend on campuses where there is a wish to impose a specific position and force en­ dorsement of a particular view on all. Does an institution that can no longer bring to bear every possible human resource in our educational mission really expect to fulfill its role? Our respon­ sibility is to provide young, active creative minds with the tools of our intelligence, of the accumulated experience of thousands of years of human history in an objective, rational, unemotional way, so that our society can continue to resolve its problems and move forward. Education needs from its students, its faculties, its administrators, its Boards of Trustees and especially from the American public, a new look at our heritage, a new understanding of the strength to be drawn from a unity of respect amidst the diversity of ideas. We cannot let the radical terrorist or the campus dis­ rupter make us lose our confidence in the historic commitment to education that has made possible the satisfaction of man's material needs, his commitment to social justice, his expressed idealism for brother­ hood, his concern for social conscience, and to jus­ tice. No other society in the history of man has achieved what has been achieved in this Nation with this philosophy. And I repeat that our society’s prob­ lems are the problems that come from achievement and they are the problems that are the challenges of education and our entire society today. The challenge to all of us at Wilkes is great. We must never forget that an academic community is a unique community. We have a responsibility to each other in all that we do. Any actions which discredit the institution or disrupt the ability of the institution to perform its function effectively cannot be tol­ erated. The freedom for us to perform our creative function is a precious thing that few societies enjoy. We must maintain the mutual respect that can bring unity to our efforts while sustaining the diversity that has made us great. All of us in this undertaking of education today share the excitement of this challenge, and I welcome your support in our attempts to continue to fulfill the commitment of this College. As Mr. Scranton so bluntly put it — our future depends upon your under­ standing and continued concern for preserving the freedom and strength of our Colleges and Univer­ sities. Thank you. We have diversity and we have unity, and this unity is based on a respect for each other, a respect for each other’s ideas. And this is really what educa­ tion and what this Nation and what Wilkes College is all about. The freedom and the opportunity to speak from the background of different cultures, dif­ ferent experiences, different insights. The freedom to approach a new Nation’s economic, social, and cultural future from this diversity of background of all of its immigrant people. This was really the unique nature of the American experiment, and it has brought opportunity and greatness. We have seen the greatest achievement of satis­ faction of material needs that any man-made society has been able to accomplish. We have seen the great­ est awakening of man’s social conscience, of his humanity, of his concern for others, of any Nation in the history of man. We have seen the greates awakening of those basic, what we call the religious concerns of man’s inhumanity to man, of justice, o equality, expressed in this society. We have also been awakened to our faults, and the many areas that are o deep concern in our contemporary society and particularly to young people.

It is important to realize , that the President serves . • • by Francis J. Michelini President, Wilkes College It is truly an honor to have been selected as the second President of Wilkes College, and I accep these symbols of office with *e promise to exe every effort to fulfill the responsibilities ot this or fice. It is appropriate to recognize, however, the tra­ dition and symbolism that belong to the insUtutxon, not the President. It is important to realize hat the President "serves” the institution as he implemen the philosophy of education developed by its found­ ers, its Board, and interpreted by its Presidents. Wilkes College is unique in its good fortune of having had Dr. Farley leading and guiding it through its formative years. His influence in the interpreta­ tion of the philosophy of this College is commemo­ rated forever in the two symbols presented here to­ day: the Medallion Chain of Office — its key link bearing his likeness — and the Mace, with that ex­ quisite statement “Unity Amidst Diversity.” Equally apparent to all in the beautiful words and music of our Alma Mater is the shared sensitivity to his mis­ sion of his late wife, Eleanor Farley. Few institutions have such a statement of love and hope for its stu­ dents as we have in our Alma Mater. The symbols of office warrant our closer attention. The physical description of the sterling silver, handhammered shaft rising to a bowl is symbolic of the melting pot of Wyoming Valley and this Nation. It is representative of the immigrant status of this Nation’s people. Central to this bowl is the inserted College Seal, and it truly represents the commitment of Amer­ icans — from the earliest days of our national in­ ception — to education. The inscription around the rim of the bowl “Unity Amidst Diversity” clearly states how the founders of this institution and its leaders, like Dr. Farley, Arnaud Marts, Gilbert Mc­ Clintock, Admiral Stark, Andrew Sordoni, Walter Carpenter, Dorothy Darte, Reuben Levy, Annette Evans, Charles Waller, viewed education in this Community. They recognized it as the only way the divisive forces of ethnic origin, religion and social class, could be minimized — the only way a unity of respect for the individual could be achieved. J Actually, it is reflective of the American Nation which, in its two hundred years of history as an in­ dependent nation, has always recognized education as the way in which it would achieve the true oppor­ tunity of this country. Look at the dates of the found­ ing of the educational institutions represented here today, and you see a history of our national commit­ ment to education. The people who came to this Na tion to make a new life saw the freedom, the oppor" tunity to progress as individuals.

Geringtitutions The college graduate of today is charge resnonsibility of bearing an ever-increasing ro e helping to establish and maintain the dellca^e ba “Cig among different factions of our society. If America is to continue to draw forth from its people the laad,er‘ ship of the world, today’s graduate must remember the demands of our different factions and not let them head us into what could well be total fragmen­ tation. Unquestionably, this is a large order for our insti­ tutions to fulfill, but they have met the needs in the first two hundred years of our history and MUST continue to do so in the years ahead. To maintain the forward thrust in this direction, Wilkes, like each of its sister institutions, has the responsibility of chan­ neling the vast potential of its students and faculty into positive and creative channels. If an institution of higher education is to achieve THIS goal, then its own leadership must possess stable judgment and the highest of integrity. The students of Wilkes see these characteristics in Dr. Michelini. rr ( (i Every student who has had the opportunity to work with President Michelini has had the oppor­ tunity to learn from him. Every student who has had the opportunity to debate an opposing point of view with him has learned that not only is he a man of fine ideals but of great academic scope as well. Every student who has had the opportunity to discover the type of man Dr. Michelini is, has inevitably come to establish mutual respect and confidence with him. Today, the students of Wilkes come to pay tribute to the man that is inaugurated as our President, and to those ideals and principles for which he stands. The reputation as an outstanding administrator which Dr. Michelini has earned at Wilkes can be jus­ tifiably indicative of the fine standards by which he will continue to conduct his administration as Presi­ dent. I think that the “Marks of an Educated Man” so so amply suggest that a man who has ethical standards by which he lives can always be counted on to set the highest standards for himself — and those with whom he works. To you, Dr. Michelini, let me say that BECAUSE you have shown that you conduct yourself by the high standards you believe in, BECAUSE you have always respected the opinions of our students, an BECAUSE you have continually made an honest an sincere effort to communicate with ALL elements o the College community, I can sincerely pledge e support and cooperation of our student body in mee ing the difficult challenges which we must and wi face. As a student, I can truthfully tell you that■ c° lege life is never easy. As a Student Government r ident, I can tell you that no presidency is ever wi out its complications—but neither distinction is wi out its rewards. As a devoted friend and mem er YOUR student body, I pray that you may aIways able to find the wisdom to sustain your convic and the peace and happiness which truly are labors of love. It is indeed an honor to be here today to share this inaugural ceremony for President Michelini, and if I’m not presumptuous, “Dear Mike.” Mine is the privilege of extending to your new president greetings on behalf of Govern­ ment, recognizing that education today is in­ creasingly a corporate concern in which the common good of society is sought, we hope, by all. This becomes very involved, as you and I have found out in so very many recent days. It hardly needs emphasis, but we are in the midst of very troubled times. Ah dear, for our beloved Nation, and indeed for the whole world-wide community. Ideals, values are challenged, yet these are also times of creativ­ ity and opportunity. Yet, we of this generation must . . . shall . . . find new hopes for old, old problems. We have come to see that education embraces the whole man and touches every aspect of our contemporary society. Dr. (Da­ vid R.) Goddard, you mentioned Benjamin Franklin. One day in Philadelphia when the conven­ tion was in session, he walked down the hall, and the newspapermen said to him, “What government did you give our people?" And he said, “We gave you a republic.” And since the dawn of history, no republic has lasted more than two hundred years. On July fourth of this year, we celebrated the 196th birthday. Well, I sit in my committee and hear them come like Greyhound buses for six months. We think we should issue wound stripes, battle stars. I am sure your insurance premiums have risen. You have a hazardous occupation. Well, the best insurance for the future of America is to be found in those college presidents who are dedicated. They have the power of the law to main­ tain an atmosphere of order, to protect aca­ demic freedom for student and teacher from the extremists of the right and the left. And Governor, you remember with me and Frank­ lin Delano Roosevelt . . . extremists on the right and on the left, a plague on both your houses! You sponsor creative research. Mr. Presi­ dent, you will continue to build an academic community here. This will upbuild the entire society. Now the great difficulty for you, Mr. Pres­ ident, summing up, the greatness of education is to get experience out of ideas. Mr. Presi­ dent, that challenge is your task. Lord McGovern, some of you might remem­ ber (as I see your degrees, I can pick them out), said, “Education can make a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to engulf, but impossible to enslave." Mr. President, it is that duty for govern­ ment. It is my duty to salute you, the faculty and the students. I have watched you grow. I had lunch today with a gracious lady who lived just back of this building. Mr. President, in the nation at large; Mike, not only do I congratulate you, but also my community, and my country that they are so fortunate as to have you. page/ 13 page/ 12 E>ir.

Left to right, first row —■ Ron Rainey, college basketball coach and speaker of the evening; Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini; Aldo Farneti, president of Student Government; and Denny Brew, member of SG. Second row — Carl Zoolkoski, chairman of the meeting; fames Moss, Dean of Student Affairs; Al Kenney, member of SG; and Art Hoover, director of college alumni affairs. The spirit which was demonstrated during the last Homecoming was one best described as the "new image” of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. It is the preservation of that “new image” which is currently considered extremely vital by the officers of the association — particularly where it pertains to the building of interest among some 2,000 local alumni who are the potential nucleus of a truly strong cam­ pus chapter. This was stressed recently when the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chapter held a meeting at the Genetti Hotel and during a brief outline of what is being planned for the alumni through the Spring it became obvious that the college office of the association and the officers are making every effort to present an at­ tractive program. Almost 50 regional alumni turned out for the meet­ ing and an interesting program. Ron Rainey, head bas­ ketball coach at Wilkes, provided a rundown on,this year's Colonels’ quintet. This was followed by three members of Student Government — President Aldo Farneti, Denny Brew and Al Kenney — describing t e proposed college judiciary which will serve as a de- (Continued on Page 19) Page/ ie page / 17 cision-making body for student violations of college regulations. Art Hoover, director of college alumni affairs, re­ ported on the proposed London trip which will be taken under special rates in April. Hoover also announced that additional meetings of the “campus chapter” have been scheduled for Wednesday evening, March 3, at the Hotel Sterling, and on Wednesday, May 5, at the Brothers Four in Dallas. Al Groh, who is well known to all alumni as "Mr. Theater” at Wilkes, will provide the entertainment for the March 3 meeting and Dr. Robert Riley, head of the Psychology Department at Wilkes, will be the principal speaker at the May 5 meeting. Preliminary plans were also made for the forma­ tion of committees to make arrangements for what will amount to a Spring Homecoming to. be held on the Wilkes campus on May 14, 15, 16. This affair will be a combined seminar-social event, including a fam­ ily picnic, dinner and general get-together similar to the successful events held during the Homecoming in the Fall. �College Mapping Plans For Major Campaign And Continuing Program of development Key businessmen and leaders of the community met recently in Weckesser Hall at Wilkes College for the purpose of receiving a proposal that a continuing year-round program of development be adopted which will incorporate appeals for all purposes — facilities, endowment and scholarships. Shown at the luncheon session are, left to right: Seated — Richard Pearsall, Wilkes Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, Atty. Louis Shaffer, chairman of the College Board of Trustees; Leo Namey and Charles Robbins. Standing — Charles Epstein, Ronald Simms, Wil­ liam Umphred, Edward Boltz, Harry Hickman, Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini, and Ben Badman. Campaign leaders are Charles Robbins and Edward Boltz. The first gifts to the College were made in 1937 to provide needed educational facilities. In that year, Conyngham and Chase Halls were given by Mrs. Bertha Conyngham and by Admiral and Mrs. Harold Stark. To adapt these buildings to college usage, $30,000 was requested from the local community and a little more than $31,000 was given. The next gifts were made by two trustees, Gilbert McClintock and Dorothy Darte. These gifts were made to assist able ambitious boys meet the charges for tuition. Since these first gifts were made in the late 1930s, the College has alternated annual campaigns for scholarships with special campigns for funds with which to acquire or construct essential facilities. In the three decades that have passed since this small and fumbling effort, the character and size of the College have changed so much that these alter­ nating appeals for facilities and scholarships are no longer adequate. It is proposed, therefore, that a continuing year-round program of development be adopted which will incorporate appeals for all pur­ poses— facilities, endowment and scholarships. Un­ der this plan, the annual scholarship campaign will be conducted each Spring; and throughout the year trustees, friends and members of the Administration will enlist the support of selected individuals for the advancement of our long-range plans. To accomplish these purposes, specific responsi­ bilities will be assumed by the Development Commit­ tee of the Board, and working committees of inter­ ested friends will be formed to guide and sustain all fund-raising efforts. To sustain these efforts, the Office of Develop­ ment will prepare literature and guidelines which ex­ plain the varied means whereby friends can help the College. This supporting literature will deal with be­ quests, income trusts and annual gifts. It will discuss the advantages of planned giving and will suggest procedures which will enable the individual to give the largest possible sum to the College at a minimum of cost to the donor. Over the years, all of Wilkes’ improvements have been made possible by the gifts of Foundations and Friends. These Foundations and Friends will continue to support our College, but Wilkes has now reached a point in its growth when it should be able to count upon the counsel and involvement of those who at­ tended the College, it was pointed out by Dr. Eugene S. Farley, chancellor, who is spearheading the devel­ opment program. Page / 18 llEGE mapping PLANS ,...]kes has come a long way since koainning in 1933.

The appointment, effective Feb. 1, was announced recently by John G. Reese, Chairman of the Wilkes College Phys­ ical Education Department and athletic director. Long on the drawing boards, Skvarla will coordinate a vastly enlarged pro­ gram of athletic intramurals. Athletic Director Reese stated, “With the rapid increase in our student en­ rollment over the past years, we must begin a well rounded program of extra­ curricular activities to meet with this influx. In addition to serving as the director of intramurals Joe will also serve as an instructor on our physical education staff.” Some of the areas to be expanded by the new Wilkes appointee include: basketball, baseball, volleyball, table tennis, handball and bowling. A recipient of All-East, All-State and All-MAC football honors during his undergraduate years, Skvarla is still regarded as the greatest pass catcher in Blue and Gold history. Swimming Co-Captains Rich Marchant and Ray Salsbnrg are leading the Colonels' water squad this year.

Senior lineman Murphy was the team's leading point gatherer with ten goals and five assists (15 points), while junior Rich Combellack (four goals, five assists) and freshman Bill Spence (seven goals, one assist) trailed closely behind.

Finally finding the groove after their six-game misfortune, the Wilkesmen came on strong in the end to record memorable triumphs over Southern Connecticut, 20-17; and Muskingum, 14-12; to finish the year with a 3-4-1 log. The only other conquest came in the form of a 16-14 squeaker cast upon Alfred, a blinding loss which even­ tually cost them the Lambert Bowl and a spotless 8-0 record. Coinciding with the change of for­ tune, head coach Roland Schmidt was plagued by the lack of experienced personnel at key positions, a situation brought on by the MAC freshman ban of 1969. Basically, the 1970 edition was on par with teams of recent vintage . . . as wins over Alfred q (Continued from page 8) Most of all, "the proper functions of the university are teaching, learning research and scholarship. An academic community best serves itself, the country and every principle to which it is devoted by con­ centrating on these tasks.” All this sounds so simple. And yet, a little too preachy, too much sermonizing. And, like many ser­ mons, it is easy to say and very hard to follow. As we try to meet this problem and solve it, I hope that it may be of some help to you to think in terms of the lives of two people who have given us two rather simple principles on which to base our work as we go ahead — one because of what he was and what he meant and what he still means today and the second, because of what happened to him. John Kennedy’s murder in Dallas jolted this Nation as few events ever have. We mourned then for him and for America, and we will for years to come, be­ cause a dark shadow crept upon our national con­ science that day. This generation of Americans tnen and there, lost forever the easy privilege of deaden­ ing that conscience with a narcotic of complacency.

Senior splitend Bill Lazor also had his moments of brilliance, catching 30 aerials for 402 yards. Oddly enough the 6-3 flycatcher closed out his col­ legiate career with 61 receptions, with nary a touchdown ever coming his way. Ground power was supplied by the junior-senior punch of Ted" Yeager and Bob Gennaro, who turned in outputs of 586 and 306 yards respectively. Looking ahead to the 1971 campaign, mini-mite Yeager his final eight games with 1917 yards gained on 406 trips, both already landmarks in the Colonel record books. Defensive tackle John Mazur re­ sulted as the only recipient of post season . away All­ season hnnnrc honors as he carted East laurels, achieved previously by only Ron Rescigno (1957), Al Yatko (1965,66), Joe Skvarla (1968), and Joe Wiendl (1968).

Dedication for a pur­ pose, the freedom of human beings. Jack Kennedy gave us that. The other man is Abraham Lincoln. We stand in the long shadow cast on the pages of history by that gentle man.

Our shining virtues, which I shall mercifully not try to catalogue here, are generally overlooked by our detractors, who pile on us all manner ot nig crimes and misdemeanors, as the following quota­ tion from one of our most eminent critics illustrates. “Can any man recollect a period when the press groaned with such a variety of desperate libels? Such is their number that one would imagine there is not a . . . single scrap of paper bought but in order to manufacture a libel.” This was not extracted from the catalogue of re­ proaches that are now being compiled by our Vice President, Mr. Spiro Agnew, but was published two centuries ago, on April 22, 1771, in the Massachu­ setts Gazette as a part of the righteous complaint of the British Prime Minister, Lord North, against John Wilkes and some of his journalistic colleagues. I wish I could emulate the enthusiasm of the American colonists for the eloquent defense of their rights that was undertaken by Wilkes in his historic President Francis J.

I shall turn, instead, to the future, the h py hunting ground of the journalist, and set myself a relatively safe period of 50 years from some of the massive problems of the present. I find this 6 procedure attractive for two reasons: first, that there isn’t too much chance that I shall be proved wrong in whatever I say, and second, that if I am, I shall not be around to suffer the consequences. Under the circumstances, it is no wonder that we journalists have developed such a knack for dis­ cussions of this nature that some of my colleagues now glory in the title of “Futurologist.” If I may be forgiven for a purely personal observation, I do not aspire to such eminence; it puts the journalist in the same generic category as the palmist, the crystal ball gazer and the reader of old tea leaves. And while the public may suspect with some justice that there are journalists who clothe these practices with the same regard that is given to the well-informed but un­ mentionable source and the all-knowing but equally anonymous impartial observer, I would rather not be ranked among them. I see little future in that kind of futurology. Nor should I absolve academe entirely of collu­ sion in the development of this art — or is it a sci­ ence?— of exploring the future. For some years at Columbia, I belonged to a seminar of professors a seminar on peace — that was devoted to the prop­ osition that war could be dispensed with as an in­ strument of national policy at some future time. However, we took four years to determine what it was we were talking about and came up, finally, with the absolutely stunning definition that peace is the absence of war. At the very least, journalists are less time-consuming about their arguments and I sha try, accordingly, to set my concepts of the future before you in a concise framework. Within the life span of the graduates of this col lege generation, we have been told by our futurolo­ gists that we can expect great marvels to unto across our land — and many others as well.

Within our laboratories, the conquest of disease has made such strides that perfectly responsible scientists are willing to consider such rapturous possibilities as a cure for cancer and a wholesale replacement of dis­ eased hearts with better ones made of plastic. Even the secret of the creation of life itself is said to be within our grasp, together with a postponement of the aging process. In our ventures into space to search for evidence of life elsewhere in the universe, we are assured that planetary exploration is a strong probability and the penetration of outer space beyond our solar sys­ tem is possible. While people are going to keep right on seeing flying saucers, I have found no responsible scientist who is willing to lay in supplies to enter­ tain visitors from distant stars. But there is no doubt that the vastly improved techniques of rocketry will make possible a whole series of space platforms out­ side the earth's orbit and a great coming and going of peoples in the skies, but for purposes that quite honestly elude me at present. Our communications, too, are certain to undergo massive change. Optical transmission by laser beam is regarded as a practical and far less expensive al­ ternative to electric current either by wire or radio in certain circumstances. Nor are our present cum­ bersome printing and distribution methods fixed for all eternity. Our newspapers are not likely to go on indefinitely presenting their news and opinions in their current shape and weight; but, whatever changes there are, newspapers will be with us for as long as people are able and willing to read. As for television, I am sure that we are not fated forever to look at a world of Tom Thumbs — three-inch sex queens or two-inch football heroes — or take what passes for wisdom from equally tiny figures with bellowing voices that shake the walls. I can only hope that the new TV will be an improvement. Equally significant changes are certain, too, in our housing, roads, automobiles and railroads, our air­ craft and our shipping, our system of education and its physical structure, even our food and clothing and the many diversions that occupy our leisure time. I cannot say that I shall enjoy the prospect of getting a book in the shape of a one-inch cube from the library by presenting a number and pressing a button. But if the pages can be projected on a screen so that they can be easily and comfortably read — and you must pardon me if I have my doubts — I shall make the best of it. page / 5 �Fifty Years From Wow Somehow, these tales of wonders yet to come never seem to create a favorable glow either in I J auditors or myself. Very often, quite the oppos e re­ action is observed. I recall that one of my contem­ poraries, a social scientist of consequence, once walked out of a brilliant discussion of futurology with the angry comment that he didn’t want to be a part of such a world. And the young people, who are going to have to live in it a lot longer than the rest of us, probably have their own reservations as well. The reason for this very basic dissatisfaction with a highly organized scientific world is not difficult to discover. As responsible scientists are the first to point out, it does not take sufficient account of the hun-­ human condition or of the quality of life for hun dreds of millions of people on this planet. Nor is the scientist — without a lot of help — going to be able to put together a unilateral method of outlawing war in 50 years, or persuading vast illiterate masses to accept birth control, or perfecting synchronized sys­ tems of government, or devising legal frameworks for the more immediate settlement of disputes at all levels. I would hope that there would be progress toward all these distant goals in the half-century to come, but it is useless to expect perfection from a necessarily imperfect world. There are some who argue that methods will be discovered to condition public responses and per­ suade people to do the bidding of an all-wise and benevolent government, thus creating instant law and order and doing away with such inconveniences tions ^°ring men and student demonstracantnrpH f b Ju™ " WOfd °f iL A nation ^n be captured from wfihm, as Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini and iSSSSMB ■#<***»»??«!** S55S5? the Japanese war lords of the 1930s proved end result in no case will be an all-wise M the olent government; nor can such dictatorship etlevinsure peace and plenty or even a modicumPA 6ver sonal security. The lessons of history, ;n ? 01 Perother instances, ranging from China to the lafeSe and itary dictatorship in Latin America, indicate th mil" results may often be quite the opposite. As the the tion was put by Benjamin Franklin, the first in P°si’ ist of his time: “They that give up their lib??91' obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither?0 erty nor safety.” bo­ lt is a bitter lesson that mankind has had to 1 again and again at the cost of untold suffering eatn To be sure, the technocratic state, which is k u up to us as a beguiling model for the future d d have its attractions.

The answer is perfectly obvious. There is a finite limit to what science can do. Polykarp Kusch, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist from Columbia University, has warned: "Science cannot do a very large number of things and to as­ sume that science may find a technical solution to all problems is the road to disaster. ... I am quite cer­ tain that the mass of men believe that the better world of tomorrow will come through science. I think that belief ought to be publicly combated.” When I was graduated from Columbia, I would not have understood this — and neither would most .

For when my generation was very young, and there are some in this audience who well remember it, we dreamed of a brave new world. It was a time of great hope, of unbounded faith. And those of us who were still in school also had great expectations of the transformations that science would accomplish during our time. I still remember my wonderment, as the teen-age proprietor of Station 7UL in Seattle, when a voice thundered in my headphones for the first time in­ stead of the monotonous dots and dashes of the wireless code. It was a mundane voice, heard through crackling static, and its message was as wearily routine as it was painfully ungrammatical: “I read you real good, over.” And then there was silence. I never knew if the person who had been read real good ever replied on another wavelength; certainly I did not hear that voice again, nor did I hear other voices on the air for some time thereafter. The burst of verbal com­ munication died as suddenly as it had been born, and all that remained was the workaday beeping of the wireless code from stations on land and ships at sea. This unexpected evidence of the approach of radio broadcasting, it became clear to me, was no Voice from the burning bush, commanding a chosen people to push on toward the Promised Land, but a fallible human being trying to reach his fellow-men through a new and uncertain method of communication. I still sigh when I think about it today: the thun­ derous voice proclaiming so confidently: "I read you real good, over,” and the totally damning lack of re­ sponse. For it was typical in many ways of our in­ sane era of wild and irresponsible speculation in a land that tried, and failed, to withdraw itself from the rest of the world. Even a schoolboy could understand, as events de­ veloped, that we Americans were saying that we listened to each other when we weren't listening, that we understood each other when we didn't un­ derstand, that we promised each other many things that no force on earth could help us realize. And often, we didn't even care about the consequences of our irresponsibility, our refusal to involve our­ selves in the great issues of our time. That, I think, was the worst part of all for the peoples of a free society. How else would it have been possible for us to de­ ceive ourselves into believing that we had just fought the war to end all wars, that we had made the world safe for democracy by putting down the autocrats of two countries of Central Europe? How else could so many of our newspapers and magazines, and our new and erratic radio plaything, have betrayed us by assuring us of a blessed existence in a nation bound to normalcy? (A strange term that I still do not fully understand.) But we went along, save for a few benighted rad­ icals who were promptly clapped into jail. That was the sine qua non of our young generation — to go along, to accept what happened as the best that could be expected in this best of all possible worlds. Science was trying to tell us in those days that we were not as secure as we thought we were, but we paid little heed to these warnings. And that was our mistake. As early as December 30, 1922, the New York Times reported from Cambridge. Mass., that a new method was being devised to “exploit” the atom and thus cause elements to disintegrate — the process was to bring about the atomic age.

The negotiations for the control, containment and reduction of the spread of atomic weapons are not being carried on by sci­ entists, important though they are in the process, but by the diplomatic representatives of the United States and the Soviet Union. In our own country, the first social problem of our time—the integration of our minority groups into our society on a fair and equitable basis — is scarcely a scientific matter only but one that concerns our entire population and our leadership at all levels. I am sure, in due course, that this generation will place science in its proper perspective as Polykarp Kusch has urged us to do: “Both science and tech­ nology should be explored in the context of history and of the society within which it flourishes.” not hLeTlly Certain that our younS Pe°PIe will abdieaH™ * S° ?any °f my 8eneration were, of carelessly at election timn tk * best, when their future is at stakl ,r““" ° 1 ssed around d h°Ping f°r the “• a useless war that Page/8 has divided us in these past few mination to make our society workYears, jt j and h heaFn From everything I see and O!1„ b^ ettteeitrthaM> this abundant land, I t™ convincedtraveis* bas. -terinvolvonr^^P^ mood is settled on a greater invob ocratic process, and not less; cise of freedom, and not less; .On a develOpder .exet. tence on the right of petition discussion, not less. p This is our birthright.

We have passed the lowest point in our national existence in this country — the era when we were so divided as a people over the Vietnam War that we found it difficult, if not impossible, to talk sense to each other. Today, we are at least listening to each other — and that is something. There may very well be more hard knocks ahead for all of us, but I cannot envision another national uprising of the magnitude of 1968 or 1970. Once we are able to achieve a measure of peace abroad, and that time is approaching, then certainly we can pro­ ceed to mount a real attack on the major issues at home — among them inflation, unemployment, the integration of our society, and the improvement of our surroundings. No work of science, no formula of the scientist now or in the future, can insure us of success, or science needs a lot of help from all the rest o usNor would it be prudent to follow the demagogue who almost daily tell us that they — and they a — hold the key to our national destiny.

Some of you presen here, and listening to these words, may simply rejec the idea that such a distinction can be made. It th burden of this address to elucidate the nature of a truly moral or spiritual authority, that is, the kind ot authority and the exercise of authority that can ac­ tually set men free and bring them to their own moral maturity in which they can acknowledge the autonomy of individual conscience and at the same time acknowledge the interdependence of social re­ sponsibility and obligation. What I am striving to establish is an understanding of freedom and author­ ity that cannot be defined without reference to each other. There is no moral freedom without the ac­ knowledgement of authority and social obligation. Similarly, there is no moral authority which does not call its subjects to the exercise of freedom in the claims that authority makes upon them. When I speak of moral or spiritual freedom and authority, I am speaking from the perspective that shares a vision of man in his wholeness as well as society in its wholeness. It is when this vision of wholeness is lost that freedom and authority become contradictory and antagonistic to one another. This lack of a sense of wholeness leads man into two very dangerous misinterpretations of himself both individually and socially. On the one hand, man will stress his independent individuality to such an ex­ treme that he denies the claims of society or of other individuals upon himself. In this mentality, man ex­ periences any claim of authority upon himself as a threat to his own personal well-being. On the other hand, society or government can become so oppres- a,?w°d” ,ew,‘h pus “Individualism (he writes) understands only a it part of man; collectivism understand as a part.

In doing this I shall h/l"1 the erence to three modern analyses of the relaf ref" between freedom and authority; one in scienffi1311'1’ ucation; and two dealing with modern religion C 6d’ munities in the Jewish and Christian traditionsC°m' I have made reference to authorities which th en to tyrannize us and those authorities which T,?3? en us to the self-fulfilling realities of freedom and^ sponsible action. Let me elaborate on the many iT recognized authorities that make their claims upo^ us every day. In doing this, I am implying a very general definition of authority. That definition would sound something like this: an authority is anything that claims us in some way, and that claim becomes authoritative in our lives when we submit to that claim, and incorporate it into the set of priorities that govern our thoughts, feelings, and actions. I am also implying a very general definition of freedom. Freedom is the ability or power to make a personal response to such a claim so that one actually does intend to carry out what the claim implies in con­ crete personal behavior. Thus authority and freedom imply each other. Authority and freedom cannot ex­ ist without each other. The anarchist is a good case in point. The anarchist does not defend freedom against authority. He does not deny the existence of authority. He simply denies it to everyone else, and he claims it all for himself. The anarchist simply claims for himself what he refuses to grant to others. He cannot be free, because he refuses to admit that the freedoms of other persons make any claims on himself. Apart from persons in community with ot er persons, freedom has no meaning at all. On e other hand, authority does not establish itse Y imposing itself by coercion. Authority can on y come morally effective when it is freely ackno edged and responded to. - aU. Now what am I referring to when I speak 0 thoritative claims that are not tyrannical or cive? Well, for one thing, consider the aut on reason. Reason cannot establish its claims ov ^gj. minds and our public actions by any kind o cion. That would contradict the very essence ,veS son itself. Nevertheless, we do find 0 claimed by reasoned thought and action simply in the way that we value it and seek to follow it. Only by subordinating ourselves to the claim of reason do we ourselves become reasonable and rational be­ ings. In other words, we attain the freedom of rea­ soning only as we submit to the authority of reason. We could make arguments in the case of conscience, or law, or morality, or truth, or personal competence and skill. Let us consider personal competence and skills. When we see someone who can perform some skill with competence, and we value that perform­ ance in such a way that we feel that we ought to appropriate that competent performance for our­ selves, then we set into motion the operation of authority and freedom. It is that personal act of valuing some bit of personal behavior in which we have the experience of being claimed. That perform­ ance could be almost anything: the polished skill of an accomplished athlete, or musician, or artist; the competence of a businessman, a statesman, or scien­ tist; the compassionate insight of a physician, a family counsellor, or a minister; the moral courage of a civil rights leader or a recovered alcoholic; the tenderness and sensitivity of lovers, or the kind of love shared by a particular family, or that quality of peaceful saintliness that some people emanate. These are just a few of the numberless ways in which we seek to appropriate from each other highly valued at­ titudes, performances, and skills. When we seek to appropriate some personal trait from another person, that person becomes a moral authority for us, and we seek to attain for ourselves the very freedom of per­ formance which that person already enjoys. We at­ tain freedom only as we submit to the authorities that claim us. Authority does not reside with just one person; it constantly roams from person to person. It can also shift from person to person within a given relation­ ship. For example, a teacher is not always an author­ ity for his students. There are many ways in which they can become authorities for him. They have al­ ready developed a degree of competence in reason, conscience, and knowledge which makes a consid­ erable contribution to the whole educational proc­ ess. Then there is that peculiar competence they have in their awareness of student consciousness and interest, which must be taken into account if schools are going to reach students "where they live,” so to speak. Education is a community enter­ prise, and it takes the vital participation of all its members, if it is to maintain a healthy growth. Authority and Freedom in Scientific Education The Nobel Prize-winning British scientist and philosopher, Michael Polanyi, interprets the whole enterprise of scientific education in terms that in­ corporate the concepts of freedom and authority that I wish to elucidate. He regards the budding sci­ ence student as an apprentice who submits to a com­ munity of competent authorities so that he, too, may become an authority and a competent investigator. “At every stage of his progress towards this end he is urged on by the belief that certain things as yet beyond his knowledge and even understanding are on the whole true and valu­ able, so that it is worth spending his most in­ tensive efforts on mastering them. This rep­ resents a recognition of the authority of that which he is going to learn and of those from whom he is going to learn it. It is the same atti­ tude as that of the child listening to its mother's voice and absorbing the meaning of speech. Both are based on an implicit belief in the signifi­ cance and truth of the context which the learn­ er is trying to master. A child could never learn to speak if it assumed that the words which are used in its hearing are meaningless; or even if it assumed that five out of ten words so used are meaningless. And similarly no one can become a scientist unless he presumes that the scien­ tific doctrine and method are fundamentally sound and that their ultimate premises can be unquestioningly accepted. We have here an in­ stance of the process described epigrammatically by the Christian Church Fathers in the words: fides quaerens intellectum, faith in search of understanding.” Polanyi is here identifying the crucial role of im­ plicit faith and trust in the educational process. Even though the student cannot explicitly articu­ late what the meaning and value of his yet-to-belearned skills will be for him; he trusts implicitly the community of competent practitioners to open his eyes to this new significance. If we live in a time of low trust, then we must face the ineffectiveness of authority. We must learn to exercise authority so as to awaken trust. Furthermore, without this im­ plicit or tacit recognition of such authority the stu­ dent excludes himself from participation in the aca­ demic community and loses an opportunity for his own intellectual growth. Polanyi regards the learn­ ing process as an attempt to master something, but the achievement of mastery requires an act of sub­ mission to authority. The goal of submission is to be­ come an authority. The importance of Polanyi’s analysis of scientific education is that it recognizes how the submission to certain kinds of authority are essential to the at­ tainment of one’s own freedom. Freedom is the ex­ ercise of personal authority, but such authority must of --------submisbe appropriated from others by an act — sion. “Thus the authority to which the student of science submits tends to eliminate itself ... As he approaches maturity the student will rely for his beliefs less and less on authority and more and more on his own judgment. His own intuition and conscience will take over respon­ sibility in the measure in which authority is eclipsed. This does not mean that he will rely no more on the report of other scientists — far from it — but it means that such reliance will henceforth be entirely subject to his own judg- page / Il Page / 10 �will henceforth ment. Submission to authority '*"5 of discovery, form merely a part of the process as a whole — he for which — as for the process as will assume full responsibility before his own ^fuJpnts should be trained to share'the ground on which their teachers stand and to take on their stand for their own inde­ pendence. The student will therefore practice a measure of criticism even during his period ot study, and the teacher will gladly foster any signs of originality on the part of the student. But this must remain within proper limits; tne process of learning must rely in the main on the acceptance of authority. Where necessary this acceptance must be enforced by discipline. It is obvious that Polanyi regards education to be an authority-sharing process. Students should be en­ couraged and challenged to exercise their own au­ thority while constantly acknowledging the general authority of the scientific community at large. The student and the acccomplished scientist never be­ come so absolutely free that they are no longer an­ swerable to other scientists who test their compe­ tence and the correctness of their findings. The scientist, in exercising the freedom of his own au­ thoritative performances, recognizes his responsi­ bility to the community in which he functions. Free­ dom implies responsibility. For Polanyi, the education of scientists, as a com­ munity enterprise, has its moral and spiritual di­ mensions. Polanyi argues strongly for the student’s need to develop a scientific conscience as he learns to share the common ideals, values, and goals which shape and direct the community of scientists. “Before the student’s own conscience, then the conscience of each is borne out by that of many others. There exists then a community of consciences jointly rooted in the same ideals recognized by all. And the community becomes an embodiment of these ideals and a living dem­ onstration of their reality." Polanyi emphasizes the role of community further; bringing out a similarity between scientific inquiry and religion. “The art of scientific work is so extensive and manifold that it can be passed on from one gen­ eration to the next only by a large number of specialists, each of whom fosters one particu­ lar branch of it. Therefore science can exist and continue to exist only because its premises can be embodied in a tradition which can be held in common by a community. This is true also of all complex creative activities which are carried on beyond the lifetime of individuals. We may think for example of the law and of the Chris tian religion. Their continued life is based on traditions of a structure similar to that of sci­ ence and it will help us t_ to understand tradition in science — if we proceed1 .... now to include such fields as law and religion in our further dis­ mission.” Like our spiritual and religious heritage, S0 th tific and intellectual heritage of man r’equi re ^cientions of wisdom, aspiration, and competent r- tradiPerform, ance which preserve our past achievement provide a launching ground for the achieverne5/and future generations. These traditions are vit ] a of and growing phenomena which are kept alive b E “u communities which embody them. y the Tradition can often become static and burde if the tradition itself does not incorporate me"1801116 vitally awaken the conscience of the age in wvto it lives. Tradition itself must not only preserve attainments, but it must also constantly growPkSt fostering a process of its own creative renewal °y "Such processes of creative renewal alwa imply an appeal from a tradition as it is to a traS dition as it ought to be. That is to a spiritual reality embodied m tradition and transcendin it. It expresses a belief in this superior realitv and offers devotion to its service. We have seen how in science this devotion is first established at the stage of apprenticeship and we could parallel this act of initiation and dedication in the field of law or religion.” Polanyi clearly recognizes the difference between an authority that demands unthinking obedience and an authority that demands freedom. For an author­ ity to demand freedom it must share its own author­ ity with those seeking to enjoy the freedom of auton­ omous judgment and competent performance. Such freedom can never be achieved in a social vacuum or in some abstract generalization. Freedom can only be realized by particular individuals in particular circumstances seeking j to fulfill particular obligations. “We have seen how this dedication, pledging the apprentice according to his own conscience, represents an obligation to be free. Freedom of this kind, it would seem, must be described in the particular as freedom to act according to particular obligations. Just as a person cannot be obliged in general, so also he cannot be free in general, but only in respect to definite grounds of conscience.” Freedom and Authority in the Biblical Tradition This stress upon developing an individual con­ science which trusts its own autonomy is important for our religious and spiritual communities as well. To be autonomous is to be literally a “self-law.” This does not mean that we create our own sense of law­ ful or just behavior. Far from it. Polanyi emphasizes the crucial role of community in arousing and shap­ ing the individual conscience. He also stresses the ideals that transcend even the total community. Al­ though the spiritual and moral ideals come from be­ yond both individual and community, it is necessary that both individual and community strive to em­ body those ideals within themselves. To be autono­ mous means to have inwardly appropriated the idea s which we do not create, but to which we submit. Page / 12 0 biblical heritage confronts us with the divine Our - itv behind those highest spiritual ideals which ai1U Bible acknowledges as divine law. Both our Jewthe „d Christian heritages stress the need to inish 3 approPriate this divine law, so that we do wardly el„ain alien to the spirit of God, but by humble not remai ussion give expression to that divine spirit withsubmi“ ir own mortal lives. The Prophet Jeremiah exin■B3 our sed this very eloquently: presse “Behold the days come, says the Lord, that I dll put my law in their inward parts, and write wi-, it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people ... For they shall all know me, from the greatest of them to the least of them.” The divine law is not only a power that comes to us from beyond ourselves, but it also wells up from within us, claiming us as its own. The New Testament is well aware of the distinc­ tion between tyrannical or hypocritical authority and authority that calls us to freedom. For example, the Gospel of Mark recounts that “they were amazed at his teaching, because, Jesus taught them as one who had authority and not as the scribes.” Jesus himself gives us a graphic comparison between the authority exercised by the scribes and the author­ ity that he called his own disciples to exercise. Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his dis­ ciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so practise and observe whatever they tell you, but not what they do; for they preach, but do not practise. They bind heavy burdens hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with their finger. They do all their deeds to be seen of men . . . they love the place of honor . . . and being called rabbi by men. But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have only one teacher, and you are all brethren. And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called masters, for you have one Master, the Christ. Whoever is greatest among you shall be your servant. ..” In Jesus’ eyes, the one who wields authority is the one who serves. The only authority we wield is the authority to which we submit. Jesus constantly re­ ferred to himself as one who lived under divine au­ thority. He never usurped that authority, but he con­ stantly witnessed to it by his subordinate freedom. The problem of freedom and authority has also been met head ton by modern religious scholars, try------------ our biblical heritage'in both its Jew­ ing to elucidate ish and Christian expressions. James Gustafson (Chicago Theological Seminary) in a recent article, concerns himself with how the churches are to ex­ ercise their moral authority in our pluralistic society that appears to becoming more and more secular. He stresses the persuasive power of moral author­ ity exercised by religious communities. tion of authn t ’ We end t0 look at the ^esmake thn h y “ prlmarily s°Hal terms, I will ChnrrV ?ersuasive waning of cense. consent to the th hn lnslghts and proposals the ____ _ - —3 central ol->ela,e y consent I do not mean subservient obedience which requires others to conform their minds and wills to the Church’s words and proposals for action. Such a position is in error tor several reasons, among them the violation of the individuality and autonomy of persons and communities . . . Thus consent does n° r^er C0n^0rmiiy to insight or teachings which are extrinsic to the persons and commu­ nity; it is rather the internalization of the teach­ ings, values, and insights on the basis of the conviction that they have validity and signifi­ cance. Monolithic uniformity ought never to be expected on the part of the Church as a moral community, though within generous limits con­ sensus is sought based upon a common loyalty and perspective. When Gustafson speaks of the “internalization of teachings, values, and insights" he is echoing Jere­ miah’s vision of God’s law written within our hearts. If our religious communities are to become effec­ tively persuasive in society at large, then they must bring their moral influence to bear upon particular, crucial issues with a clarity of focus without losing their appeal to universal values. For example: The way to make a case for peace or against capital punishment, or for any position on abor­ tion, that maintains the integrity of the Church is by persuasive moral argumentation. Other forms of action (such as political, disruption of institutions, etc.) might well follow, but are themselves to be justified by a persuasive con­ sent process. To put the matter abstractly, the moral au­ thority of the Church depends upon its capacity to give reasons for what it says and does, which on the one hand do not compromise its integ­ rity as a particular religious community, and on the other hand are stated in such a way that the public sphere will be influenced by them and by actions that are consistent with them. The implications of this view need to be suggested for three sorts of moral activities in which the churches engage. These are the Church as the critic of the social order, as the proposer of new visions of the social order, and as a participant in social change. To put Professor Gustafson's argument in the terms alreadv stated by myself and by our scientist, Michael Polanyi, the moral authority of our religious communities will be felt only if they make their case with the kind of competence that will claim the conscience of society at large. The Church's constructive task is to propose alternatives for policy. It can cry out that it is for peace rather than war, for justice rather page / 13 �for man either to claim or to acknowledge a right which is God’s alone. than injustice, for love rather than enmity. Such cries are necessary to make, but they are not sufficient without proposals about how condi­ tions of war might become conditions of peace, how conditions of injustice might become con­ ditions of fairness, and how conditions of en­ mity might become conditions of love. To do this requires research and argumentation; it re­ quires some mastery of the facticity of the cir­ cumstances to which policy is being addressed, as well as the persuasive ethical use of this in­ formation in proposals for alternatives. In this sort of activity competence in making a case is more significant than the rhetorical passion of what in moments of irritation I call “gee-whiz” ethics, that is, the passion of indignation evoked by the presence of actual or potential moral evil that is expressed in dirges for the dying of mankind. It is not that the “gee-whiz” is un­ necessary or useless, but that persuasive alterna­ tives within the realms of possible developments have to be spelled out. To win a hearing, not to mention consent, to proposals for social policy, the Church must make a competent case. Why is it that men are so prone to surrender their freedom of conscience to totalitarian powers? Why do we so often fail to claim the authority of our own conscience? Herberg answers that man's freedom is sometimes felt to be a dreadful burden. To be free man must accept the accountability for his own ac­ tions, and he must often endure conflict and anguish to uphold his own personal integrity. Freedom is hard to bear, an intolerable bur­ den for those who have lost their grounding in the divine. Freedom means responsibility; it means decision, and the responsibility of de­ cision engenders that painful anxiety which Kierkegaard has called the “dizziness of free­ dom." The urge to renounce one’s freedom so as to relieve oneself of responsibility is an im­ pulse deeply rooted in the human heart; in our own time, it has driven whole peoples to seek a self-annihilating security in the totalitarian herd. Anything is welcomed if it promises escape from the dreadful anomie of contemporary existence. From the viewpoint of Hebraic religion, sur­ render to the lure of totalitarianism is treason to God. For the renunciation of freedom and re­ sponsibility is the renunciation of human per­ sonality; it is the repudiation of the divine de­ mand upon man to fulfil himself as the unique image of God. “Man,” says J. P. Sartre, “is con­ demned to be free.” True, but it is precisely this “condemnation” to freedom that constitutes the grandeur of human existence, which no one may renounce and yet remain truly human. Totali­ tarianism therefore confronts us with a double responsibility: to reorganize social life so as to make possible the emergence of true commu­ nity in freedom, and to strengthen within us our spiritual resources of personality and responsi­ bility. Both tasks alike imply unswerving alle­ giance to the divine law as the law of our life. Competence of performance bears its own authority. Turning now from the moral authority of the re­ ligious community to the responsible freedom of its individual members, I shall make reference to the modern Jewish scholar, Will Herberg. Herberg strives to defend the inwardness of man’s spiritual freedom as it is rooted in biblical tradition He warns against the excesses of radical individualism on one hand and of the totalitarian claims of society on the other. The individual can only be free in his obligations to community life. The individual is in duty bound to serve the society of which he is part and to respect its authority: “Separate not yourself from the com­ munity,” is a familiar rabbinic dictum. Yet the individual transcends his society and all pos­ sible societies, for society has no jurisdiction over him in the things that matter most — his conscience and his relation to his God. Standing on the divine law, he may judge and even defy the merely relative justice of his society. “The example of the Hebrew nation,” Lord Acton states, “laid down (the line) on which all free­ dom has been won — ... the doctrine of the higher law, . . . the principle that all political authorities must be tested and reformed ac­ cording to a code which was not made by man.” Greater Witas-Barre Alumni Chapter Elects Officers I would only add to Herberg’s words that the divine law is both our authority and freedom in life. When God's law confronts us, challenges us, and awakens our consciences, it becomes our authority; but when it becomes grafted in our hearts and finds spontane­ ous expression in our feelings, attitudes, and ac­ tions, then it becomes our freedom. It therefore goes without saying that the total­ itarian claim of society or the state to control a man’s entire life is utterly repugnant to Juda­ ism. Neither society nor the state can make such absolute claims; they are barred from doing so because, in the Jewish view, man is totally sub­ ject only to God, and it is an affront to Heaven page / 14 Sources of quoted material: Martin Buber, Between Man and Man Michael Polanyi, Science, Faith, and Society James Gustafson, “Moral Authority in the Church,” Chicago Theological Seminary Register, May 1971 Will Herberg, Judaism and Modern Man New officers of the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chapter of the Wilkes College Alumni Association were elected re­ cently and have already met several times with the special committee which is making plans for the 1971 Homecom­ ing in October.

Leonard Mulcahy has accepted the chairmanship 0 the next Homecoming and as one who contributed much to last year's event is well aware of the work ??t out for the committee in making this year s event b‘gger and better. Mulcahy will announce his committee members s °rtly and meetings will be scheduled so that su committees can be assembled and begin working toard the Alumni Association’s high point of the year. Art Hoover, college alumni affairs director, has an­ nounced that the Hotel Sterling has been reserved for that week and all the fringe services which were pro­ vided last year will once again be available. The last Homecoming set a precedent in Wyoming Valley as the dance was held in the huge lobby of the central city hotel — something which went over ex­ tremely well with all those who attended and caused many outsiders to wonder why they hadn’t thought of doing the same thing years ago. It is anticipated that the Friday night program will include the usual get-together —or warmup — party, but under another title will be among the leadoff events and that all of the regular items, such as foot­ ball, soccer and dorm judging, will be included. page / 15 �Fall Sports Season Is Promts!□mg MM1 SPRING REUNION CONDUCTED W lUMffl 4 The Alumni Association concluded its three-day Sprin weekend with a dinner at the Hotel Sterling.

From the many points of view expressed at the various meetings one recurrent view emerged from the thinking of fellow-alumni. It was felt gen­ erally that area alumni clubs would, in addition to providing a direct means of involvement with the College, provide an effective means of self-help to fellow alumni within a given club area. As one example, the help which an alumni club could offer to a fellow alumnus moving into an area finding an apartment, establishing contacts and making friends — would prove highly beneficial. Currently, in most of the areas visited, steering committees have been meeting to further plans for the organization of alumni clubs. The Philadelphia Club has planned a major meeting and invited representatives of the Athletic Department of the College. In the Lehigh Valley, a family picnic has been scheduled for May and the Northwest New Jersey (Dover) group is planning a major social function before the summer months. Locally, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Area Club is conducting its election of officers with the winning candidates to be announced at a buffet-style dinner to be held at the "Brothers Four" in Dallas on May 5.

Jonal conflict he destroys. Because the past always influences the future and in great measure determinepresent and lial that all who Ya^soncie eRecognize that de- - «-*•'to ch“- acter and influence of the College. In this period of revolutionary change, earlier influ­ ences areP continuously modified. Material changes which occur with unprecedented and ever-acceleratina rapidity influence our standards, our values und our thoughts. In this decade of the 1970’s, it is pos­ sible that change is the greatest constant in the wide­ ly varied cultures of our world. If change is the great­ est constant of this era, we must accept it so that we may direct it into constructive channels. To guide the currents of change into constructive channels, we must draw upon divergent resources. We must be receptive to new ideas without carelessly jettisoning those personal values that are essential to individual and social integrity. If we are not to be immobilized by tradition or overwhelmed by illconsidered acceptance of new proposals, we must be ready to examine long-accepted mores and customs; we must be prepared to strengthen the best of them and to abandon the worst of them. We must some­ how combine openness with firmness; we must tem­ per desire with sound judgment and firm conviction. ACADEMIC PLANNING With knowledge doubling each decade and with the constant increase of social and economic prob­ lems in our society, new facilities will be needed if outmoded material and equipment are not to inhibit the development and usefulness of specialized knowl­ edge and research. Simultaneously our specialists will be challenged to keep abreast of their own spe-A cialties, but they will be even more challenged to re-"1 late their specialties to the individual and social problems that affect our lives. In spite of those who insist that education should encourage abstract think­ ing without concern for everyday problems, it is quite apparent that the supporting public expects education to prepare students for participation in the practical affairs of today and for participationi in he unknown problems of tomorrow. This pr p will require the breadth of vision and c arty thought desired by the Vocational idealists, As we meet the present and prepare for the future we must recognize that every decision is, in some dete,rmined by de“a that were made yesterday, and every decision made today will in □me measure, affect decisions that will be mad tomorrow. Because today's decisions will determine ^“xtrure °f the c°ni= mate effect nf with one another. And, if they are to assist the stu­ dent to gain and maintain some measure of equilib­ rium in the midst of uncertainty, they must cultivate a sense of continuity so that the student may recog|||nize that the present is a product of the past and a ^^determinant of the future.

While continual changes will be form­ ulated in the undergraduate curricula, it is probable that the requirements of modern society will call for an extension of our slowly developing graduate pro­ gram. As this program was introduced to serve indus­ try, so will it be expanded to meet the growing needs of modern business for scientists, researchers and informed managers. Simultaneously, it must satisfy the increasingly critical needs of our society for en­ lightened and effective human services. It is inevi­ table that new developments in industry, in social and health services, and in the professions will re­ quire continuing modification and enlargement of our existing graduate programs in the years ahead. Because the material and human resources required for graduate study are great, it is neither desirable nor practicable for Wilkes to expand its graduate offerings in isolation — nor is it necessary for the College to act in isolation. The College is already in­ volved in cooperative arrangements with Temple and Lehigh, and it is anticipated that a continuation of this cooperation will enable the College to introduce ^^specialized graduate programs earlier than would be ^^possible were we to operate independently. Coopera­ tive arrangements can also assure better instruction with greater economy. THE FACULTY The faculty must be enlarged to keep pace with the growth of the student body, and every effort must be made to improve its personal and professional competence. It is anticipated that the proportion of Ph.D’s will increase from the present 45 per cent to approximate­ ly 60 per cent by 1975. This proposal to increase the percentage of Ph.D.’s does not suggest that there will be less interest in attracting and keeping faculty mem­ bers whose first commitment is to the student. It is rather based upon the recognition that professional preparation and competence are essential to effective teaching. To obtain the type of faculty that can exert a stim­ ulating and creative influence upon students, it will be necessary to select faculty members who are pro­ fessionally competent and who also are committed to teaching. This, of course, will require a dedication ^^and loyalty that some persons claim cannot be ob^Jtained in "today’s world. Our experience up to this time indicates, however, that many qualified teachers still seek positions in institutions that are committed to teaching and which conceive of teaching as re­ quiring a commitment to the student. They recognize that the student is the reason for teaching and for the existence of the College. This personal commitment does not mean that re­ search, independent study and writing will not be encouraged. It does mean that faculty will be chosen who are interested in independent work but who also recognize that subject matter is the means by which they hope to arouse and stimulate the interests and creative energies of students. It is also essential, if we are to sustain our free in­ stitutions in an open society, that indoctrination and cynicism be avoided. To maintain any measure of freedom and to sustain intellectual curiosity and crit­ ical inquiry, faculty members must encourage and re­ spect differences of opinion among their students. Any faculty member — and there are an increasing number today — who seeks to impose his ideas and his values upon students, fails to recognize that the purpose of education in a free society is to encourage independence of judgment, a consideration of varied and conflicting ideas, and the habit of critically eval­ uating all ideas, ideologies and theories. It is likely that faculty members possessing these qualities will also bring perspective to their special­ ties and breadth of vision to their teaching. In a day when research and burgeoning knowledge require some specialization, it is essential that interdisciplin­ ary relationships be developed so that the interde­ pendence of all knowledge is acknowledged. Recognizing that education is designed to encour­ age personal growth, it will be our intent to cultivate within the faculty an atmosphere and influence that will encourage self-development and social respon­ sibility. ENROLLMENT The purpose of the College and its relationship with the Community will to a great extent determine the ultimate size of the enrollment. During the past decade, enrollments have increased about 10 per cent per year. During the next decade, it is anticipated that the rate of increase will be lessened and that undergraduate enrollment may be stabilized at about 3000. This figure is suggested as sufficient to permit diversity and depth in both the under­ graduate and graduate areas while simultaneously permitting a free exchange between faculty and stu­ dents. The extent of the graduate offerings will relate directly to the economy and culture of Northeastern Pennsvlvania and the nation. For instance, if plans for the proposed medical center develop as now en­ visioned, there will be great need for graduate pro­ grams in the health and physical sciences. page / 5 �but the means for encouraging such involve not been fully developed.

And, as the complexity of our society increases, its health and even its survival may de­ pend upon our ability to cultivate broader vision and deeper understanding. To cultivate this essential vision and understanding, the humanities and the so­ cial sciences must sharpen man’s awareness of hu­ man and social values. ,ve should plan to acIt is suggested that by 1983 we commodate an undergraduate enrollment t.».„.....__ of about 3000 and a graduate enrollment of approximately 775. If these figures are accepted as reasonable goals, it will be necessary to formulate plans for at­ taining and sustaining such enrollments. We must recognize, however, that their attainment will be de­ termined not only by the vigor of the College but by regional, national and world-wide conditions. These cooperative programs have been adopted encourage student involvement in and responsibility for the governance of the College. The opportunities for involvement will increase as students demonstrate their readiness to assume increased responsibility All should recognize, however, that this sharing of responsibility does not lessen by one iota the re­ sponsibilities of the Trustees, Faculty and Admin­ istration. They can share their responsibilities with students, but they bear the ultimate responsibility for the strength and development of the College. As has been remarked by the head of one of cour great corporations, “In assigning responsibilityj to others, I lose none of my own responsibility for the operation of this company.” STUDENT INVOLVEMENT No age group is more directly affected by the pace of change than college students. We know that they reach physical maturity earlier than previous genera­ tions. but their assumption of responsibility ls de­ layed bv economic and social requirements which prolong their education and their dependency. In the long run, this delay in assuming responsibility may be fruitful to the individual but denial of early re­ sponsibility creates restlessness and sometimes a sense of frustration. In addition, our students are aware of the uncertainties resulting from the headlong pace of technical change and the consequent changes in our personal and social lives. They sense that old values no longer guide us and long-accepted morals no longer seem relevant. Many parents give more at­ tention to business and social affairs than to their children, and frequent moves from place to place loosen the family ties and create a sense of rootless­ ness. In addition, the professions and occupations change so rapidly that students prepare for a chosen vocation with some doubt that their preparation will be relevant, and even with some doubt that their chosen careers will be open to them. All of these factors influence the college student in varying degrees, and all of them combine to in­ crease the expectations of students. These expecta­ tions confront college faculties with new demands and require a continuing evaluation and considera­ tion of all programs. Because of increased uncertainty and rejection of long-accepted patterns of behavior close cooperation between students, faculty and ad^■strators is essential if a sense of alienation and frustration is to be avoided. This cooperation can be expected only where there is a sense of common pur pose and mutual involvement.a sense of com: P There has been increased student some recognition of the need for involvement and responsibility" To meet the changing influences of our time, it isW essential that programs be developed which encour­ age cooperation, involvement and mutual trust. The cultivation of confidence and mutual trust are per­ haps the greatest challenges confronting the College in the midst of radical change. FACILITIES It is impossible to continue the development of the College without adequate educational facilities. It is necessary therefore, in planning for educational de­ velopment, to also plan for the enlargement and mod­ ernization of our educational facilities. The facilities for which we can now foresee a need are listed be­ low with an estimate of their costs: TEAM TEACHING AND LEARNING BUILD^Ng: The first requirement is completion of the Team Teaching and Learning Center. throne? n°W fairly wel1 assured of $3,000,000 for sary to r hOn °f this building, but it will be necesof rnnef iSe. VetT Promptly an additional sum. StarA to avn'd^1011. by December 1971 was mandatory 1 forfeiture of $741,000 in federal funds. It is urgent, therefore, that we raise an additional $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 as promptly as possible. GYMNASIUM. The present overcrowding of our ^Pgymnasium and the growing need for an enlarged physical education plant necessitate the construction of such facilities as soon as money is available. It is estimated that this addition will cost $600,000. DORMITORIES. With the continuing increase of enrollment, additional dormitory expansion will be necessary. It is anticipated that dormitories will be constructed in the area bounded by West South, South River and South Franklin Streets, and Diver Lane. In the immediate future, newly-acquired houses can be used as dormitories but, ultimately, it will be necessary for the College to construct new dorm­ itories in this area. Were funds now available, immediate construction would not be possible as the College does not now own the land needed for such buildings. To complete plans for construction of the dormitories, a number of contiguous properties must first be acquired through separate negotiations. A conservative figure for the construction of dormitories is $3,000,000. LAND. To complete our long-range plans, some three dozen properties must be acquired in the area zoned for College development by the City Planning Commission. This area is bounded by West North­ ampton, South Franklin, West Ross, West River, South and South River Streets. On the basis of pres­ ent real estate valuations, $750,000 may be required for this purpose. CLASSROOM FACILITIES. Although none of us wish to think of moving out of the first block of South River Street, the present zoning plans call for this move. It is essential, therefore, that we plan for the construction of a classroom building which will house the departments of social and political science and business administration. A conservative figure for this building is approximately $6,000,000. EQUIPMENT AND REFURBISHING. To equip and refurbish existing and newly-acquired buildings, and to provide for planned programs, it is estimated that approximately $500,000 may be needed. ENDOWMENT The stability of an independent college in this period of crisis and change will depend not only upon the annual contributions of its friends but upon the character of its endowment. It is proposed, therefore, that a consistent attempt be made to attain the follow­ ing endowments by the time the College observes its 50th anniversary in 1983: ENDOWED CHAIRS. Compensation of the fac­ ulty is the most significant item in the College budget. It is the faculty that determines the character of Wilkes and their support must always be our primary goal. In addition to their teaching, these men and women must create the climate that will stimulate and sustain those intangible influences that encour­ age and challenge students to strive for continuing improvement. Only by providing adequate compensation can Wilkes hope to attract and retain a faculty of high quality. To attain this goal, endowed professorships are most desirable. These endowed chairs will bring and hold men of ability who will, in turn, attract others of comparable ability. For this purpose, we suggest the endowment of 6 chairs at $400,000 each. This will total $2,400,000. UNDERGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS. To pro­ vide educational opportunities for able students, Wilkes must be prepared to assist ambitious and able students of limited means. As a private, independent institution with no oper­ ational funds provided by the Commonwealth, Wilkes, of necessity, must raise tuition and other charges as costs increase. If the College is to main­ tain its “policy of equal opportunity,” there must be a substantial increase in scholarships beyond the funds obtained from the Annual Appeal. To assure the education of able students, regardless of their economic condition, a number of endowed scholarships are required. Today these endowed scholarships approximate $550,000. It is suggested that these endowments should be increased to $2,000,000 as early as possible. To gain this goal, an additional $1,500,000 will be required. GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS. As Wilkes College enlarges its program of graduate studies, it is inevi­ table that many of these men and women will require graduate fellowships. At present, the College does not have adequate resources to assist graduate stu­ dents. It is desirable, therefore, that funds for the support of graduate fellowships be attained. To sup­ port these fellowships, an endowment of $1,000,000 will be necessary. page / 7 Page / 6 �LIBRARY. At the opening of the 1966 Library Campaign, Miss Annette Evans, trustee, stated, "A library is a collection of books, but it is also a place to house them. The one must be worthy of the other for a library is the heart of a college. It is the center of learning. It is the storehouse from which good ;omes from the mind and spirit." C( New educational programs, which increasingly emphasize independent study, and our expanding graduate and professional programs require a steady and substantial expansion of reference materials. To provide these materials, an endowment fund which will provide urgently needed funds and which will permit long-range planning is needed. For this, we should seek an increase increase of 8600,000 in endowment. ,10C 1j state andconcern federal governments. their has grown asWith: decade, u power to tax is the ,a* they , learned uu> --- power■ tn 9St stroy.” to de.

FARLEY, Chancellor Although Wilkes College has maintained a balanced budget and has not been dis­ turbed by violent confrontations, we cannot hope to escape public reaction to acts of violence. To date, we have escaped violence because of the stability and loyalty of ex­ perienced faculty members and because of the steadying influence exerted by student leaders. The College may also have been spared from violence by the purposes which moti­ vate our efforts. Since its beginning, in the midst of the great depression, Wilkes has been committed to a program that will prepare its students to assume a constructive role in our society. Simultaneously, it has endeavored to participate in all efforts which are designed to improve the economy and culture of the geographic region of which it is a part. To assure the continued vigor of its efforts, the Trustees, Administration, Faculty ano Students have recently considered and approved long-range plan1; io guide our present and future efforts to improve the College.

Today it is an urgently relevant question ... one that is uppermost in the minds of campus offi­ cials. For institutions that depend upon public confidence and support for their financial wel­ fare, their freedom, and their continued exist­ ence, it is perhaps the ultimate question: Are Americans Losing Faith in their Colleges? A SPECIAL REPORT �Dear X: Wo ° were not so complex. But in fact these are serious problems to which there are no easy answers. We wrestle with them every day. You are certainly right to be worried about the existence of this university (and all campuses) as a forum for the free discussion of ideas. There are many w o wou d use the American college or university in a political struggle to a vance their own political ideas. Even well-meaning students would do so, because they do not understand the dangers of such action. Those of us charged with the responsibility must fight with all our wit and strength to prevent that from happening. I do not think we can win by using force or repression. Rather, we must continue to work with students to convince them that their efforts to politicize the university can destroy it, and this would be terribly costly to society as a whole. When and if the line must be drawn, then we will draw it and deal with the consequences. But we will do everything we can to avoid actions that will limit our options and bring about the violence and polarization that have crippled some great institutions. It is clear to me that the colleges and universities in America are, to a very considerable degree, reflecting the problems and divisions of the larger society. That can be unpleasant and painful, but it is in some ways a proper and very useful role for a college or university to play. Consider, if you will, society’s other institutions. Can you think of any that are not in similar turmoil? The church, the public schools, the courts, the city halls, the political parties, the family—all of these institutions are also feeling the profound pressures of change, and all are struggling to adapt to problems and needs that no society has ever faced before. If we as citizens and mem­ bers of these institutions respond simply by withdrawing from them or repu­ diating them, then I fear not only for the future of our institutions but for the future of our nation. Disraeli once said, “Individuals may form communities, but only institutions can make a nation.” nutted and the ^8'°™ L longer make a meaningful contribution to these >r- to students and parents. And I cannot with enthusiasm ask my fellow alumni to make financial contributions when I personally have decided to withhold Like many alumni and alumnae, I have been increasingly concerned over the manner in which the university has permitted the student body to take over the “running of the store.” Even worse, our colleges and universities seem willing to have them take over the country. I am not anti-youth, but I do not believe that there is something magical about being 18 or 20 years old that gives students all the correct answers and an inherent right to impose their views about everything on the rest of us. The faculty has clearly demon­ strated that it is unwilling or unable to exercise moral leadership and, indeed has often guided the students into actions that are irresponsible at best and dangerous at worst. The university, it seems, is easily intimidated.by the students into support­ ing strikes, canceling classes, disregarding academic standards, and repressing individuals and groups who speak for the so-called “establishment.” By fail­ ing to take a stand and to discipline those who violate campus rules, you have encouraged an atmosphere in which laws, traditions, and basic moral values . are held in contempt by growing numbers of our young people. I fear for the existence of Z University as a forum for the free discussion of ideas, A great chorus of anti-establishment rhetoric has issued from a vocal left-wing group on the campus, supported by ultra-liberals on the faculty. I am afraid the university has abandoned its role of educator, to be­ come a champion of partisan politics. And this bodes ill for our democratic society. All of this may sound like the rantings of a hard-hat conservative. But it is the measure of the situation on the campus that one who has always been rather liberal politically can sound like a reactionary when he takes issue with the radical students of today. Sincerely, Alumnus Y Dear Atamis Y: I am very sorry to lose the services and support of an alumnus who has worked so hard and so successfully for Z University. I am equally sorry that you seem to have lost confidence in the university. An institution of higher education depends on its alumni and alumnae for understanding and support even in the quiet times. In troubled days like these, there is nowhere else to turn. won t try to persuade you to accept any assignment or even to continue your financial support, But I do feel compelled to comment on your loss of faith in the university. Your concern obviously centers on such perplexing and basic questions as . e rig ts and responsibilities of students and faculty, the problems of camp115 governance, and the danger of politicizing the university. We certainly share y ur concerns. It is tempting to long /or the good old days when problem f J_Lhis university is indeed involved in the controversy which en­ gulfs America and from which progress and constructive change will one day come. Our students and faculty are indeed concerned and vocal about the rights of their fellow citizens, about the war, about the environment, about the values of our society. If it were otherwise, our alumni and alumnae would certainly be justified in refusing to support us. Very simply, Mr. Y, the current generation of young people will one day run this nation. They are here and cannot be traded in for a quieter, more polite, more docile group. Nor should anyone want to trade them in. This university cannot abandon them, or isolate them, or reject them. Our mission is to work with these young people, to sensitize them, humanize them, edu­ cate them, liberate them from their ignorances and prejudices. We owe that to the students, but even more to the country and to our alumni and alumnae. The course is uncharted, to be sure; it will be uncomfortable at times and somewhat hazardous in spots; but it is the only course a great university can follow. I’m sorry you won t be on board. Sincerely, President X �he letters on the preceding two pages typify \ a problem of growing seriousnessfor U.S. colJ I leges and universities: More and more Ameri’ cans—alumni, parents, politicians, and the general public—are dissatisfied with the way things have been going on the nation’s campuses. “For the first time in history,” says Roger A. Free­ man, former special assistant to President Nixon, “it appears that the profound faith of the American people in their educational institutions has been shaken, and' their belief in the wisdom of our educational leaders and in the soundness of their goals or practices has turned to doubt and even to outright disapproval.” The people’s faith has been shaken by many things: campus violence, student protest, permissiveness, a lack of strict discipline, politicization of the campus, the rejection of values and mores long-cherished by the larger society. Complicating the problem is a clash of life-styles between the generations which has raised a deafening static and made communication extremely -difficult between students and their off-campus elders.. (At one meeting not long ago, an angry alumnus turned on a student and shouted, “I just can’t hear you. Your hair is in my ears.”) How many people are disenchanted, how strongly they feel, and how they will act to express their dis­ content is not yet clear. But there is little doubt about the feelings and actions of many political leaders at all levels of government. Vice President Spiro T. Agnew spoke for many of them: “When one looks back across the history of the last decade—at the smoking ruins of a score of college buildings, at the outbreaks of illegal and violent protests and disorders on hundreds of college campuses, at the regular harassment and interruption and shouting down of speakers, at the totalitarian spirit evident among thousands of students and hundreds of faculty members, at the decline of genuine academic freedom to speak and teach and learn—that record hardly warrants a roaring vote of confidence in the academic community that presided over the disaster.” Many state legislators are indicating by their actions that they share the Vice President’s views. Thirty-two states have passed laws to establish or tighten campus regulations against disruption and to punish student and faculty offenders and, in some cases, the institutions themselves. A number of states have added restrictive amendments to appropriations bills, thus using budget allocations as leverage to bring colleges and universities into line. "The public has clearly indicated displeasure with higher education’ The chancellor of California’s state college system described the trend last fall: “When I recently asked a legislator, ‘. . . Why did the legislature take what appears to me, and to most faculty and administrators in the state college system, to be punitive action in denying [a] cost-of-living in­ crease to professors?’—he replied, ‘Because it was the public’s will.’ “We find ourselves confronted with a situation unlike that of any previous year. The ‘public,’ through the legislature, has clearly indicated displeasure with higher education . . . We must face the fact that the public mood, as reflected in the legislature, has taken a sub­ stantial turn against higher education overall.” A similar mood prevails in Washington. Federal sup­ port of higher education has slowed. Congressmen who have been friendly to higher education in the past openly admit that they face growing resistance to their efforts to provide funds for new and existing programs. Rep. Edith Green, chairman of the House of Representatives subcommittee that has jurisdiction over bills affecting colleges and universities, observed during the last ses­ sion, “It would be most unwise to try to bring to the floor this year a bill on higher education, because the climate is so unfavorable.” TTF THIS APPARENT LOSS OF FAITH PERSISTS, Amer- B • ica’s institutions of higher education will be in I deep trouble. Even with the full confidence of the American people, most of the nation’s colleges and universities would be experiencing financial difficulties. Without the public’s confidence, it is now evident that large numbers of those institutions simply cannot sur­ vive. Three years ago, the editors of this report published a special article on the financial oudook of American higher education at that time. The article began: “We are facing what might easily become a crisis in the fi­ nancing of American higher education.” And it con­ cluded: “Unless the American people—especially the college and university alumni—can come alive to the �reality of higher education’s impending crisis, then the rroblems of today will become the disasters of to­ ff »» morrow. Tomorrow has arrived. And the situation is darker than we, or anyone else, anticipated—darkened by the loss of public confidence at the very time when, given the best of conditions, higher education would have needed the support of the American people as never before in its history. If the financial situation was gloomy in 1968, it is desperate on most campuses today. The costs of higher education, already on the rise, have risen even faster with the surging inflation of the past several years. As a result of economic conditions and the growing reluc­ tance of individual and organizational contributors, income is lagging even farther behind costs than before, and the budgetary deficits of three years ago are even larger and more widespread. This situation has led to an unprecedented flood of appeals and alarms from the academic community. > James M. Hester, president of New York Uni­ versity and head of a White House task force on higher education, states that “virtually every public and private institution in the country is facing severe financial pressures.” > A. R. Chamberlain, president of Colorado State University, sees financing as “the most serious prob­ lem—even more serious than student dissent—that higher education will face in the 1970’s.” Many state legislators are angry, and the budgets of dozens of publicly supported colleges and universities are feeling the effects of their wrath. t> The smaller and less affluent colleges—with few financial reserves to tide them over a period of public disaffection—may be in the direst straits. “We are dying unless we can get some help,” the president of Lake­ land College, appearing in behalf of small liberal arts institutions, told a congressional committee. He added: “A slow death as we are experiencing goes practically unnoticed. This is part of our problem; nobody will even notice until after it happens.” (Few noticed, perhaps, the demise of 21 institutions reported in the 1969-70 Office of Education Directory, or that of several others which have decided to go out of business since the directory was published.) > Preliminary figures from a study of financial problems at the 900 member institutions of the Asso­ ciation of American Colleges indicate that an alarming number of colleges are going into the red. William W. Jellema, the association’s research director, estimates Photographs by Erich Hartmann, Magnuni The situation is darker than we—or anyone else—anticipated that about one-fourth of all private liberal arts colleges >n the nation are now drawing on their endowments m one way or another to meet operating expenses. At least half of the 70 private colleges and uni­ versities in Illinois are operating at a loss. A special commission created to study their fiscal problems warned that deficits “threaten the solvency, the quality, the vitality—even the survival—of some institutions.” The lieutenant governor of Illinois predicts that onethird of the nation’s private colleges may go out of existence by the end of the decade, unless state govern­ ments provide financial assistance. P* Predominantly black colleges and universities are feeling the pinch. The former president of one such institution put the problem in these terms: “If all the black students at Harvard, M.I.T., Brandeis, and the main campus of the University of Virginia were sud­ denly to drop out of college, there would be headlines all over the country. But the number of black students who will drop out of my school this year is equal to the number of black students at those four schools, and nothing will be said about it. We could keep most of them for another $500 apiece, but we don’t have it.” Even the “rich” institutions are in trouble. At Yale University, President Kingman Brewster noted that if the present shrinkage of funds were to continue for another year, Yale “would either have to abandon the quality of what we are doing, or abandon great dis­ cernible areas of activity, or abandon the effort to be accessible on the merits of talent, not of wealth, or of race, or of inheritance.” As the current academic year began, Yale announced that its projected deficit might well be larger than anticipated and therefore a freeze on hiring would be in effect until further notice—no new positions and no replacements for vacancies. The rest of the Ivy League faces similar problems. TTV\ ETRENCHMENT has become a household word LU in campus administrative offices and board I\ rooms everywhere. It is heard at every type of college and university—large and small, public and �' ■ ■ ■ ■ •. 1 private—and in every part of the country, For example: P p> One morning several months ago, the trustees of a member-institution of the prestigious Association of American Universities spent several hours discussing the eventual necessity of scaling down th a small-college operation. p> Saint Louis University has closed its school of dentistry and is phasing out its school of engineering. Tufts University has eliminated its school of theology. > Case Western Reserve University has terminated its graduate physical therapy program. j> A large university in the South has been forced to phase out six Ph.D. programs. > Huston-Tillotson College has cut back on its athletic program, reduced the number of course offer­ ings, and eliminated several faculty positions. > Reed College has taken steps to cut the size of. its student body and to raise the student-faculty ratio. > A high-priced nuclear reactor at an Eastern state university stands idle for lack of research support and operational funds. The Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, president of the University of Notre Dame, sums it up this way: “In the 25 years that I have been associated with the uni­ versity ... I can think of no period more difficult than the present. Never before has the university taken on more tasks, and been asked to undertake many more, while the sources of support, both public and private, both moral and financial, seem to be drying up.” is nowhere more urgent than in the medical schools. Forty-three of the country’s 107 medical schools are in such severe financial straits that they are getting “dis­ aster grants” from the federal government this year. Dr. John Cooper, president of the Association of American Medical Colleges, warns that “the whole financial structure of our medical schools is gravely threatened.” He blames cuts in federal funding (which provides more than 50 per cent of many medical school budgets) as well as inflation and reductions in Medic­ aid to hospitals. Cutbacks in federal programs have also begun to erode the quality and effectiveness of academic science. Prominent scientists, who are not given to overdrama­ tizing the facts, have issued urgent warnings.' Jerome Wiesner, provost of M.I.T. and former Presi­ dential science adviser, said: “Cutbacks now in scien­ tific research may cost the nation its leadership in he financial situation techn0108y> m the decades ahead.” oJan”ed oU^th^5 its economic well-being technicians’ Painstakingly Trainin t, a yearS’ are now being scattered. countrvS eduCaUonal Programs that provided the 7 SClentlfic manpower are faltering, and some have been forced to shut down. hilip Handler, president of the National Academy ciences, has said: “Our national apparatus for the con uct of research and scholarship is not yet dis­ mantled, but it is falling into shambles.” The universi­ ties are the backbone of that apparatus. When support of the universities weakens, science weakens. That all this adds up to is a crisis of un\y \ y precedented proportions for higher educaV V fi°n the greatest financial crisis it has ever had,” in the words of Clark Kerr, chairman of the authoritative Carnegie Commission on Higher Edu­ cation. Dr. Kerr s commission recently determined that two in every three U.S. colleges and universities were facing financial “hard times.” Some 540 institutions, the com­ mission estimated, were already “in financial difficulty”; another 1,000 were found to be “headed for financial trouble.” “Serious enough to be called a depression,” was the estimate of Earl F. Cheit, professor of business admin­ istration at the University of California, who studied, higher education institutions of all types for the Car­ negie Commission and concluded that almost all colleges and universities eventually may be in financial difficulty. (In the course of his study, Mr. Cheit found that most college presidents believed that the loss of public con­ fidence in higher education was, in large measure, at the root of much of the trouble.) about higher education’s financial plight have been raised regularly over the years, simply because financial hardship has always been a fact of life for colleges and universities. In the past, the warnings and admonitions have produced at least enough response to provide some monetary relief and to forestall disaster. But the problem has grown steadily worse in recent years, and educators are pessimistic about the federal government’s, or the state legislatures’, or the alumni’s coming to the rescue this time. In fact, the turmoil on the campuses and the growing antago­ nism toward the academic community could result m the situation becoming even worse. A larms �basic fiscal problem of colleges and universities The • rather simple. They are nonprofit institutions which depend for their income on tuition and fees, interest idowment, private gifts, and government grants. on en( and fees do not cover the cost of education^ Tuition Ocularly - of - graduate education,, so the difference must be made up from the other sources. For private institutions, that means endowment income and gifts and grants. For state institutions, it generally means legislative appropriations, with relatively small amounts' coming from endowment or private gifts. In recent years, both costs and income have gone up, but the former have risen considerably faster than the latter. The widening gap between income and expendi­ tures would have been enough in itself to bring colleges aiind universities to the brink of financial crisis. Reduc­ tions in funding, particularly by the government, have' pushed the institutions over the brink. Federal support for higher education multiplied nearly fivefold from 1960 to 1971, but the rate has slackened sharply in the past three years. And the' future is not very promising. The president of a Wash­ ington-based educational association said bluntly: “In Washington, there is a singular lack of enthusiasm for supporting higher education generally or private higher education in particular.” Highly placed Administration officials have pointed out that colleges and universities have received a great deal of federal money, but that the nation has many urgent problems and other high priorities that are com­ peting for the tax dollar. It cannot be assumed, they add, that higher education will continue to receive such a substantial share of federal aid. Recent actions make the point even more dramatic­ ally: > The number of federally supported first-year graduate fellowships will be nearly 62 per cent lower in 1971-72 than in 1967-68. The National Science Foundation has announced that it will not continue to make grants for campus computer operations. The foundation reports that— when inflation is considered—federal funds for re­ search at colleges and universities declined 11 Per cent between fiscal 1967 and 1970. The Higher Education Facilities Act of 1963, Which helped to pay for much of the construction on campuses during the past seven years, is being phased In 1967 the outlay was $700-million; last year Resident Nixon requested no x» —--------funds for construction. nstcad he proposed an interest subsidy to prompt insti- The golden age: “we have discovered that it was only gold-plated” C°nStrUCti0n Private missions .rVCy °f Sta‘e higher education co“oer cent “ m°St StateS fewer than 25 L u institutions could borrow money, on enable repayment terms in today’s financial market, iix states reported that none of their private institutions could borrow money on reasonable terms. > The federal government froze direct loans for academic facilities in 1968. On June 30, 1969, the Office of Education had $223-milIion in applications for Ioans not approved and $582-million in grants not approved. Since then only S70-million has been made available for construction. I> The National Aeronautics and Space Administra­ tion has reduced its obligations to universities from $130-million in 1969 to $80-million in 1971. “Losing federal support,” says a university research scientist, “is almost worse than never having received it.” Since much of higher education’s expansion during the ’60’s was financed with federal funds, the withdrawal of federal assistance leaves the institutions with huge commitments and insufficient resources to meet them— commitments to faculty, to students, to programs. The provost of a university in the Northeast notes wistfully: “A decade ago, we thought we were entering a golden age for higher education. Now we have dis­ covered that it was only gold-plated.” "TA ZTuch the same can be said about/tate funds \\/ for public higher education. The 50 states 1 y M appropriated $7-billion for 1970-71, nearly Sl-billion more than in any previous year and five times as much as in 1959-60. But a great part of this increase went for new facilities and new institutions to accommodate expanding enrollments, rather than for support of existing institutions that were struggling to maintain their regular programs. Since public institu­ tions are not permitted to operate with fiscal deficits, the danger is that they will be forced to operate with quality deficits. . .... , “Austerity operations are becoming a fact of life for �[ Ti Abe consequences 6 Many public institutions found their budgets cut i : . year or their requests for capital funds denied or duced. Colorado State University’s capital construcr-on request for this year was cut from $11.4-million to ° 6-million in the face of projected enrollment increases A-"'a .■ '* ■ i Ik w :■ Ri i of 3 600 juniors and seniors. As state support has started to level off, public in­ stitutions have begun to raise tuition—a* move that many feel is contrary to the basic philosophy of public higher education. The University of California is im­ posing a tuition charge for the first time in its history. The University of Illinois has boosted tuition by 60 per cent. Between 1959 and 1969, tuition and required fees doubled at public institutions. Tuition in public institutions still does not approach tuition in private colleges and universities, which is now nearing $3,000 in many places. At these levels, private institutions are having increasing difficulty attracting applicants from middle-income families. Many, small liberal arts colleges, which depend on tuition for as much as 80 per cent of their income, are losing students to less expensive public institutions. Consequently, many smaller private colleges reported vacancies in their entering classes last fall—an indication that they may be pricing themselves out of the market. Private giving is not likely to take up the slack; quite the contrary. The tax reform laws, recent declines in corporate profits, pressures to redirect resources to such pressing problems as environmental pollution, and the mounting unrest on the campuses have all combined to slow the pace of private giving to colleges and univer­ sities. The Commission on Foundations and Private Philanthropy concluded that “private giving is simply not keeping pace with the needs of charitable organi­ zations.” The commission predicted a multibilliondollar deficit in these organizations by 1975. Colleges and universities have been working harder in their fund-raising efforts to overcome the effects of campus unrest and an ailing economy. Generally, they have been holding the line. An Associated Press survey of some 100 colleges throughout the country showed that most schools were meeting fund-drive goals in­ cluding some which experienced serious student disrup­ tion. Although the dollar amount of contributions has risen somewhat at most schools, the number of contrib- ut°rs has declined. may go well beyond the campuses onm ni m Part °£ h” Rented one develfor the f K Can CaU On g00d friends but « g We need t0 reach the annual goal, tntion in the number of donors will cause serious problems over the long run,” A LL OF this quite obviously bodes ill for our Z=X\ colleges and universities. Some of them may X .LX. have to close their doors. Others will have to retrench—a painful process that can wipe out quality gains that have taken years to accomplish. Students may find themselves paying more and getting less, and faculty may find themselves working harder and earn­ ing less. In short, a continuation of the fiscal crisis can do serious damage to the entire higher educational es­ tablishment. But the negative consequences will go well beyond the campus. “What happens to American higher edu­ cation will ultimately happen to America,” in the words of one observer. Examples: > Much of the nation’s technological progress has been solidly based on the scientific effort of the uni­ versities. To the degree that the universities are weak­ ened, the country’s scientific advancement will be slowed. > The United States needs 50,000 more medical doctors and 150,000 more medical technicians right now. Yet the cutback in federal funds.is leading to retrenchment in medical schools, and some 17 are threatened with closing. > For two decades U.S. presidents and Congress have been proclaiming as a national goal the educa­ tion of every young person to the limit of his ability. Some 8.5-million students are now enrolled in our col­ leges and universities, with 12-million projected by 1980. The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education recommends the creation of between 230 and 280 new community colleges in the next decade and an addi­ tional 50 urban four-year colleges to serve metropolitan areas Yet federal programs to aid in campus construc­ tion are being phased out, states are cutting back on �^penditures, student aid programs are l_l„ being& capital exP< and colleges are being forced to close their reduced, d°°rS Governmental rulings are now clearly directed to • rg black Americans into the larger society and ating integf equal _ j educational pfiiicational opportunities for tb Pm and them creating nation’s poor. Many colleges and universities for the disted in that cause and have been recruiting have enl linority'grcmP students. This is a costly venture, for mil—. require almost complete scholarship support the poor _ _to matriculate in a college. Now, the shortage in order funds is hampering the effort. > An emergent national goal in the 1970’s will be the cleaning of the environment and the restoration of the country’s urban centers as safe, healthy, and sane places to live. With this in mind, the National Science Foundation has shifted the emphasis in some of its major programs toward the environmental and social sciences. But institutions which face major retrench­ ment to offset growing deficits will be seriously con­ strained in their efforts to help solve these pressing social problems. “The tragedy,” .says the president of a large state university, “is that the society is rejecting us when we need it most—and I might add when it most needs us.” p| he public’s loss of confidence in the colleges i 1 and universities threatens not. only their fiJ I nancial welfare, but their freedom as well. Sensing the public’s growing dissatisfaction with the campuses, state legislators and federal officials have been taking actions which strike directly at the auton­ omy and independence of the nation’s educational insti­ tutions. Trustees and regents have also begun to tighten con­ trols on colleges and universities. A number of presi­ dents have been fired, frequently for not dealing more harshly with student and faculty disrupters. “We are in a crossfire,” a university, president points out. “Radical students and faculty are trying to capture our universities, and they are willing to destroy our freedom in the effort. Authorities, on the other hand, Would sacrifice our freedom and autonomy to get at the radicals.” The dilemma for college and university officials ls a particularly painful one. If they do not find effec­ tive ways to deal with the radicals—to halt campus Vlolence and resist efforts to politicize the institutions— utside forces will exert more and more control. On the ei hand, if administrators yield to outside pressures Alumni who understand can help t0 restore ‘he public confidence d°Wn °n radlcals’ theV are hkety to radicalandTnrt a ,StUdentS damage academic freed<™ and individual rights in the process. McGeorge Bundy, president of the Ford Foundation, summed it up this way: To the degree that violence subsides and the uni­ versity community as such is kept separate from polit­ ical conflict, the danger of attack upon the freedom of the university from the outside will be reduced. No institution which depends upon society for its resources will be allowed—as an institution—to choose sides in the general contests of the democratic process, and vio­ lence by the privileged is an uncommonly unpopular phenomenon. If it be true, as I believe, that both poli­ tics and violence must be restrained in the academic world for reasons that are intrinsic to the nature of the university, it is also true that when violence spreads and the university is politicized, society as a whole turns hostile—and in a prolonged contest with society as a whole, the university is not a likely winner.” Freedom would be the first casualty—the freedom to teach, the freedom to learn, the freedom to dissent, and the freedom of the academy to govern itself. Truth, objectivity, vitality, and knowledge would fall victim in quick succession. Were this to happen, society as a whole would suffer, for autonomous colleges and uni­ versities are indispensable to society’s own self-renewal, its own cultural and intellectual advancement, and its own material well-being. Samuel Gould, former chancellor of the State Uni­ versity of New York, once told his legislature some­ thin" that is especially relevant today: “A society that Zot trust its universities,” he said, “cannot trust itself.” tty HE crisis on American campuses has no parallel in the history of this nation. It has its roots in divisions of American society as deep as any since the Civil War. The divi­ sions are reflected in violent acts and harsh rhetoric and in the enmity of those Americans who see themselves �II . 1• L as occupying opposing camps. Campus unrest reflects and increases a more profound crisis in tire nation as a whole.” Thus did the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest begin its somber “call to the American people last fall. Only greater tolerance and greater understand­ ing on the part of all citizens, the commission declared, can heal the divisions. If a major disaster for higher education and for so­ ciety is to be averted, moderate Americans in every' seg­ ment of society' must make their voices heard and their influence felt. That effort must begin on the campuses, for the primary’ responsibility’ to increase understanding ! I i J lies with the academic community’. Polls and studies have made it abundantly clear that the overwhelming majority of faculty members, students, and administrators are moderate people who reject vio­ lence as a means of changing either society or the uni­ versity. These people have been largely silent and in­ active; in the vacuum they have left, an impassioned and committed minority’ has sought to impose its views on the university’ and the society’. The moderate majority’ must begin to use its collective power to re-establish the campus as a place of reason and free expression where violence will not be tolerated and harsh rhetoric is scorned. , The majority must also rethink and restate—clearly and forcefully—the purpose of our colleges and uni­ versities. It has become clear in recent years that too few Americans—both on and off the campus—under­ stand the nature of colleges and universities, how they function, how they are governed, why’ they must be centers for' criticism and controversy’, and why they must always be free. Only such a moderate consensus will be effective in restraining and neutralizing extremists at either end of the political spectrum. The goal is not to stifle dissent or resist reform. Rather, the goal is to preserve colleges and universities as institutions where peaceful dissent and orderly -Lchange can flourish. Violence in the naiuo inevitably results in cither repression or a of reform i-----new orthodoxy'. , and studies show that most alumni are also Polls .derate people, that they support most of the campus mo<---ivw.„t tthat has occurred in recent years, that they share reform many of the concerns over social problems expressed by activist students, and that they sympathize with college officials in their difficult task of preserving freedom and order on the campus. “What is surprising,” notes a college alumni relations officer, “is not that some alumni are withdrawing their support, but that so many have continued to support us right through the crises and the turmoil.” He went on to point out that only one of four alumni and alumnae, on the average, contributes to his or her alma mater. “Wouldn’t it be something,” he mused, “if the ones we never hear from rallied round us now.” Wouldn’t it alumni SPRING WEEKEND MAY 14-15-16 turnout is anticipated for the Annual Sprin° A laSg6which the Wilkes College Alumni Association Weekend, wi 14_ 15> 16 as a cijmax to one of willtSPucncessful y®ars of active ParticiPation hi the organization’s hl^°rry college alumni affairs director, has ex- Art| the feeling that the association will continue to pressed ward with the same enthusiasm and desire for move bthat was displayed during last Fall’s extremely Sttenp«ful Homecoming. sU“ ffair will open on Friday evening and conclude c Mv morning with activities planned for the Center on .^ Performing Arts, various sites on the campus, the IthUtic field and the Hotel Sterling. indeed! Alumni and alumnae, by virtue of their own educa­ tional experience and their relationship to colleges and universities, have a special role to play in helping to restore public confidence in higher education. They can make a special effort to inform themselves and to under­ stand, and they can share their information and under­ standing with their fellow citizens. Too many Americans, influenced by mass-media coverage which invariably focuses on the turmoil, are ready to believe the worst about higher education, are willing to sanction the pun­ ishment of all colleges and universities in order to retaliate against the disruptive minority. Too many Americans have already forgotten the great positive contributions that colleges and universities have made to this nation during the past three decades. Here is where the alumni and aliimnae can make a contribution as important as a monetary gift. They can seek to cool passions and to restore perspective. They can challenge and correct misinformation and misconceptions. They can restore the public confidence. Education; Charles m. helmken, American Alumni Council; GEORGE c.

Now some observers of the academic scene think a major redistribution of power may be taking place within it. Two trends seem to stand out: —The traditional autonomy of the college and university faculty shows signs of erosion. —The public, through its elected officials, wants a greater say about what goes on in the institutions. At the state level, for example, education offi­ cials report that legislators have become increas­ ingly interested in campus “accountability"—a concept that implies closer supervision by the leg­ islatures over how the colleges spend their state appropriations. In addition, bills have been pro­ posed in at least five states to limit or re-examine faculty tenure at state institutions. The erosion of faculty autonomy has been tied most prominently to the role of some faculty members in campus protests and political activi­ ties. One university administrator thinks that fac­ ulties have lost much of their credibility with the public because of a reluctance to make “hard decisions" during campus crises. Another analyst, however, puts most of the blame on external forces, especially lawmakers with a penchant for intruding hastily and punitively in campus affairs. What is the significance of these developments for colleges and universities? To preserve their independence, they may have to change the ways they govern themselves. That is the conclusion of the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education, which has pleaded with the campuses to recognize that many of them are “in a new situation.” The old informal consensus won’t work any more, the commission says, and the institutions must adopt a more formal approach to discipline that takes account of the rights and responsibilities of all their members at the same time. » Deferred Tuition: A plan that someday could revolutionize the financing of colleges and uni­ versities will be started experimentally at Yale University next fall. Yale's plan, variations of which have been discussed for years, would enable students to postpone part of their tuition by pledg­ ing to pay back a fixed portion of their future annual income for up to 35 years. Many other institutions are looking into that kind of arrange­ ment. Duke University, for example, will try something like the Yale plan next fall on a limited basis. The Ford Foundation has begun a $500,000 study of whether a broader test should be made at different institutions. And the governor of Ohio has proposed that students at senior public col­ leges there agree to repay out of future earnings the state’s subsidy for their higher education. The ideas are highly controversial. Proponents talk about making it easier for financially pressed colleges to charge higher fees. But the chief critics, leaders of public higher education, warn against shifting too great a share of education’s costs from society to the student. ■ Sweeping Change? A federally initiated task force has disputed the “conventional wisdom” that many of higher education’s problems could be solved simply by an expansion of the present sys­ tem. In a report strongly endorsed by the Secre­ tary of Health, Education, and Welfare, the panel called for an entirely new kind of system. It said colleges and universities should break away from “nearly universal” organizational forms, teaching methods, and faculty preparation. A panel of lead­ ing scholars recently made the same point, saying that academic people needed to do a better job of scrutinizing themselves. Don’t try to do the same thing in the same way, said the panel, known as the Assembly on University Goals and Governance. n In Brief: Junior college officials are worried about a sharp jump in the number of students who want to enroll in their institutions. “It’s a fallacy that we’ll be able to handle them all,” says one prominent administrator . . . College placement directors have told prospec­ tive June graduates to seek jobs aggressively. Sur­ veys of employers and colleges disclosed about a 20-per-cent drop in companies’ recruiting activities on the campuses .. . Two major programs for offering college degrees for off-campus study are being developed in New Tork State. The board of regents will award de­ grees on the basis of tests and the state university will set up a non-residential college. Interest in such activities is at a high point among academic planners . . . Many colleges and universities have strength­ ened security operations in the face of a rise in crime on campus, particularly theft. Expansion of the campus police force is common, and several institutions arc using trained student­ policemen. , alving long and considerate thought following consul Afternh members of the Administration, Dr. Frances T tBtI^lini president of Wilkes College, rejected a proposal thai Michelm1-*' bg allowed visitation beyond the privileges al nide gues'ved in the lounge areas of the women’s dormitories ready enJ 3 „ =ident Michelini conveyed his decision in a letter to students, who represented a group advocating wider ‘ • mdon privileges, and then reaffirmed it before a meeting ^students held for the specific purpose of discussing the matter. , his letter denying the request for Vls*tation privileges, In Michelini wrote: wrote: Dr. I- “To: Susan M.

I have also been aided in arriving at my decision by the letters written by students and the reasons they have given for and against such revision of our present dormitory policies. “After considering all responses, I must communicate to you my rejection of the proposed change. I do not disagree with the need to view students as people, question the need for developing social maturity, or disregard your wishes for privacy as presented in your proposal.

We do not question this, but we do have a responsibility to determine the nature and pace of this change as it affects our institution and its students. An unwise course of action tends to become irreversible, and our concern is that such changes, when they occur in our dormitory situations, will truly be productive in developing both socially and academically sound young men and women. “In the weeks ahead, I will be reviewing, with our Deans of Women, each of the concerns expressed in your communi­ cation relative to the desired privacy for study and social exchange I feel that our women's dorms and lounges can be remodeled, to some degree, to provide the environment de­ sired.

A group of 65 Wilkes alumni and their friends headed by President and Mrs. Michelini, Dean of Women Jane K. Lampe and College Alumni Director Art Hoover, spent the Easter Weekend on a four-dav special junket to London. The Wilkes College campus will go on the air — FM, that is — in September following approval by the FCC of a license for the school to construct an educational radio station. An Ad Hoc committee has been set up by President Francis J. Michelini and headed by James Berg and Dr. Harold Cox. Kimon Friar, Greek scholar and lecturer, spoke at Wilkes College before a large audience in the Center for the Performing Arts. The event was under the guidance of Dr. Benjamin Fiester, chairman of the English Department. Friar lectured on "Men Are the Saviors of God, The Spiritual Odyssey of Kikos Kazantzakis,” author of “Zorba the Greek.” Wilkes College is currently not one of the inde­ pendent colleges in Pennsylvania which is operating at a deficit, according to President Michelini, who commented on the rather bleak report released by the Commission for Independent Colleges and Uni­ versities of Pennsylvania. The Wilkes president said the college has constantly operated so as to avoid excessive drains upon its resources in attempts to keep the costs to students as low as possible. Wilkes College was the regional collection point for art from Northeastern Pennsylvania which was submitted for possible showing in Pennsylvania 71 — the first state-sponsored juried exhibition in the his­ tory of the state. The event will take place from June 12 to August 15 at the William Penn Memorial Mu­ seum in Harrisburg. The Deans’ Council announced that 319 students achieved cumulative averages of 3.25 or more to place them on the Deans' List during the Fall Semester.

Selected to head classes for next year are: Sophomore — Carole Lowande; Junior — Joel Fischman; and Senior — Mark Paikin. George Pagliaro was elected as president of the Inter-Dormitory Council and Howard Tune was picked as the president of Student Government. A capacity crowd turned out at the Center for the Performing Arts to hear a daytime address by the Rev. James Groppi, militant civil rights priest, who spoke on “Civil Rights and Human Rights — The Movement Today.” Dr. Foriey Honored by 0 0 0 The names of students to serve as Resident As­ sistants in the college’s dormitories were released. Students were selected by the deans from a list of applicants who expressed a desire to handle the chores of overseeing the campus residences. The Wilkes College Education Department announced that it will supervise a reading clinic for elementary and secondary school children beginning next October. The instructional staff is composed of experienced master Elementary School teachers who hold Pennsylvania Certification and are trained spe­ cifically in clinical techniques and applications in the Masters’ Degree Program at Wilkes College. Wilkes College has announced an increase in tui­ tion of S150 for the 1971-72 school year — or $75 per semester — in response to rising costs and to bring the total tuition fee per semester to $875. President Michelini pointed out that the increase “although considerably below the national average, was reluct­ antly made due to unavoidable financial conditions. No increase is contemplated at this time in the col­ lege charge of $585 per semester for room and board. following io a speech delivered by the Hon.

This exciting, frightening and glorious 20th Cen­ tury was ushered in with the birth of our Guest of Honor just several months before. Dr. and Mrs. Rob­ ert Farley, were not only wonderful parents, but they were great "Friends.” As everyone knows, Quakers make mighty fine "Friends.” Until our guest of honor made his appearance on this planet, the United States was a big empty coun­ try. The 1900 census showed a total population of only 76 million. While the population of this country has multiplied almost three times during his lifetime, I do not credit all that growth to him. He made a modest contribution — two fine sons and a lovely daughter. A bright and significant event in the early days of the depression was the award of a doctorate in the Spring of 1932 to a handsome, bright graduate student nun16 University of Pennsylvania. This new Doctor of hilospphy, with a winning smile, blond leonine head, arge hands and big feet, had already begun to carve ?u ,a working career in education.

These were Prepara^ A'1 years and also the seven long years in Arnaud °r ^’s lifetime work. Here, in 1936, Dr. tappeJik acls’ President of Bucknell University, nn lor the awesome challenge of a lifetime. Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, former president of Wilkes Col­ lege, accepts a special award from Judge Max Rosenn, U. S. Federal Court, as the B'nai B’rith "Man of the year,” He was the answer of the Dean of Education of the University of Pennsylvania to Dr. Marts’ prayer for an energetic, brilliant educator to direct a foundling junior college. The Dean told Dr. Marts that the man we honor tonight was the best graduate student he had ever had at the University. Dr. Marts called quickly and invited that bright, blue eyed young man to meet him in Wilkes-Barre. Wilkes-Barre was a desolate, dreary and shabby place in 1936. The coal mines had been shut down in large numbers under the deadly competition of other fUe]s _ gas, oil, electricity, imported coal. Mechan­ ization was also taking its toll. Unemployment was widespread. Breadlines were common and the food­ line at the institution district office on North Franklin Street was growing longer each day. This B'nai B’rith page / 20 page / 21 �Lodge opened and fully supported a highly successful employment and placement project under the leader­ ship of Charlie Weissman. Unemployment compensa­ tion and public assistance were still unknown. People in the Valley were dispirited and numb. This was an area of unparalleled natural resources and a super­ abundance of wealth in its hills and in the ground. Men had been extracting its mineral wealth for many decades. But they were returning little, if any, to the Valley. Except for a small girls’ school in Dallas, there were no schools of higher learning here. There were no scholarships to colleges or universities for our bright young men. Recreational facilities were at a minimum. Cultural and intellectual opportunities were blacked out. The industrial life of the com­ munity was in a straight-jacket. The future for our young people was black, indeed. This was the dark and forbidding picture that our young educator found when he first met Dr. Marts. He lingered on in Wilkes-Barre for several days after Dr. Marts returned to Bucknell. He walked up and down the streets talking to businessmen and pro­ fessional men, probing into the lifeblood and heart of the community’. He found no one who expressed any hope or faith in its future. No one encouraged him to stay. Yet he stayed, because he sensed the desperate need; and his Quaker conscience would not allow him to disregard the clear call to serve. This new administrative head of Bucknell Junior College was not only a giant in physical stature, but equally’ majestic in spirit and purpose. Though young, he had already earned a reputation as an educator and scholar. He had published a number of important educational articles which had established his intel­ lectual capacities and expertise. But he was more than an educator and scholar. He was a builder and a visionary’, and he too had a dream. And by’ his side, stood his beautiful and talented wife, Eleanor. She knew of his dream. She understood and she was steadfast and strong in her support and devotion. And so our guest of honor commenced his fear­ some task in an old building on West Northampton Street, once the site of a bankrupt business school. In only one decade, he succeeded in elevating a low­ ly junior college into an independent, liberal arts in­ stitution for men and women. He moved it from an old, rented building into a number of the best homes on South River Street. In a few short years he con­ verted Wilkes from a poor tenant to one of the landed aristocracy. And he taught us how to own property without mortgages and interest paymients. The stu­ dent body’ grew steadily and as it grew, subtle changes occurred in the community’. An institution is the lengthening shadow of the man who leads it. The great and dramatic history of the growth and development of Wilkes College is a reflection of the strong and sensitive spirit of its first President — of his courage, foresight and persever­ ance. He denied himself and his precious family pleasures and possessions so that his institution might grow and flourish. He denied himself and his family' great opportunities that opened up ^elsewhere. blazringnzeaCia— hk wife, children, faculty and friends — also made sacrifices in support of his dream. Sal­ aries were curbed but teachers' spirits were un­ restrained. In a few short years, a little known school grew into a college of national reputation. The seeds planted painstakingly began to bear fruit. Graduates were becoming distinguished businessmen, doctors, lawyers, accountants and educators. Accredited, up­ grading its curriculum and study, expanding its plants and salaries, Wilkes was also developing its respon­ siveness to the needs of the community. Its services and its presence were transferring a dull, dreary coal community into a bright, thriving, vibrant area. For the first time in its history, the Wyoming Valley had come to life. Major industries were seeking new sites here. The presence of the college was an important attraction. Our economy was being diversified and enriched. Cultural pursuits had overtaken the com­ munity and lifted it from the caverns and strippings onto the hills and mountains. Wilkes had attained new dimensions of excellence and with them had come new levels for the Wyoming Valley. Wilkes had developed a style, a tone and quality which was in­ fectious. It had also become a valuable ally of the Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Fund. Greater Wilkes-Barre in its new garb, its color, its vitality, its strength and power is a reflection of a college which has played a dominant role in trans­ forming the character, the spirit, the hopes and future of this community. This and very much more, were the fruits of the labor, the planning, sweat and tears of our distinguished guest. When the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania is written, I am confident that the smiling countenance of our Honoree will occupy the frontis-piece. His great qualities of leadership have been ac­ claimed throughout the land. The Foundation for Independent Colleges of America elected him its president, as had the American Association of Junior Colleges some years before. Colleges have honored themselves by conferring honorary degrees upon him. Industry, hospitals and other institutions have claimed him for their boards. Above all, service to others — in the college, in the local community and in the broader reaches of the state and nation — was a basic element of his personal creed. He found ful­ fillment in life by service to his fellowman. Having reached the impossible dream, our Guest of Honor has earned the right to rest and relaxation. Demonstrating his usual intelligence and wisdom, he has passed the mace of office to able, talented but younger hands. And he still pursues a major role as the College’s first Chancellor. And he has yet another dream for this, his community. He has high hopes for a beautiful medical campus, the center of which will be a medical school proudly serving this vast and (continued on page 29) page/ 22 �Commencement At Athletic FieM Jnne 6; Author, Pulitzer Award Head T® Speak.

They were there all the time. All that was needed was for someone to put them together. Two people did — Art Hoover, college director of alumni affairs and Pete Winebrake, general chairman of the 1970 Wilkes Co ege Homecoming. They believed in what they felt was a fairly large group of former Wilkes students still residing in this area — plus several thousand oya followers who are now out of the region. The way they had it figured was that you just don’t go to a school like Wilkes for four years — or even a few semesters ■— without catch­ ing the "Colonel Fever.” (This is a strange malady which causes one to always want to come back to what was or used to be.)

Mrs. Eberhard L.

Scranton, former governor of Pennsyl­ vania, offered this advice to alumni: —That thev "refrain from hasty judgments on complex university problems and . . . avoid stereotyping entire groups because of the actions of a few of their members.” —That alumni not insist "that universities re­ main changeless, or be surprised if their institu­ tions are not the same as they were when the alumni were students.” —That "constructive criticism and sustained financial support from alumni are essential to the vitality” of colleges and universities, many of which are in an “unprecedented financial squeeze.” The commission added that "disagree­ ment with specific university policies or actions should not lead alumni to withdraw their general support from higher education.” Speaking more generally, the panel warned that continued intolerance and hostility between young people and other citizens would threaten the “very survival of the nation.” It called on President Nixon to use the prestige of his office to “urge all Americans, at once, to step back from the battlelines into which they are forming.” By the time the President received the com­ mission’s report, his views on campus violence already had received wide public attention. In a speech at Kansas State University, he declared that only the academic community—not the gov­ ernment—could “save” higher education. In a subsequent letter to educators, he said there could be “no substitute for the acceptance of responsibility” by college administrators and fac­ ulties for campus order. Then, in a surprise move, the President asked Congress to authorize immediate federal interven­ tion in cases of campus bombings and arson. The request was quickly approved and signed into law, although some legislators warned that it could result in “prowling FBI agents" and encourage an “aura of repression.” PREPARED FOR OUR READERS BY THE EDITORS ■ Hitting Bottom? The long-expected “financial crisis” in higher education has struck with such force this year that college administrators can scarcely find words strong enough to describe it. "The Day of Judgment is upon us,” says one. “It is here—now.” Another says the money shortage is so grave that it outranks student dissent as the main problem of the 1970’s. The situation is acute because several factors have come together at the same time. Inflation, soaring educational costs, declining stock prices, lagging federal aid, public hostility to increased state support—all have combined to put a tremen­ dous drain on institutional budgets, especially those of private colleges. At least a score of colleges have closed in the past year or so, and many others report substantial operating deficits. With tuition rising almost everywhere, small private colleges seem to be in particular danger of pricing themselves out of business. Admissions people report an accelerating shift of enrollments from such institutions to state universities and to low-cost community colleges close to students’ homes. A growing number of private institutions have had to seek state support to supplement their income from private sources. At the established public institutions, mean­ while, officials say that the steady rise of state aid in recent years has failed to keep pace with their expanding needs. State appropriations for higher education’s operating expenses in 1970-71 have topped $7-bilIion—a new high—but for many public institutions that apparently is not adequate. “Austerity operations are becoming a fact of life,” says one of their associations. Federal aid is not picking up much of the slack. A government agency reports that the growth of U.S. financial support, which averaged about 24 per cent in the mid-sixties, has slowed considerably since then. - Limited Access: Despite the addition of some 600 colleges and universities in a 10-year period, more than half a million high school graduates a year fail to continue their education “simply be­ cause they happen not to live near an accessible college,” according to a study by the College En­ trance Examination Board. It showed that only 789 of 2,600 two- and four year institutions in the country could meet the test of “accessibility” nonselective, within reasonable commuting dis­ tance, and costing no more than $400 a year in tuition and fees. 9-°^' Discussing the future of the "Campus Chapter" are, left to right — Carl Zoolkoski, chairman of the evening's affair; Wilkes President Francis J. Michelini; Chancellor Eugene 5. Farley, and Arthur Hoover, college director of alumni affairs. (Greater Wilkes-Barre Alumni Hold Key Meeting With an estimated 2,000 Wilkes College alumni resid­ ing in the Greater Wilkes-Barre Area, it appeared reason­ able to believe that the "Campus Chapter” of the Alumni Association should be one of the most active and certainly the strongest. That it hadn’t been caused a great deal of concern and something was done about it! Invitations sent out to all local addresses of alumni brought a response of over 100 to the first meeting of the new year — a meeting designed to revitalize the "Campus Chapter" and transform it into a firm site of alumni oper­ ations from which all other chapters throughout the country might gain assistance and have a home base. Carl Zoolkoski headed a program that turned the eve­ ning into one of the finest and most promising that the Alumni Association has had in a long time. Among those who spoke at the combined social­ business gathering were: Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, for­ mer college president, who is directly involved now with OF THE CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION page / 6 page / 7 development and alumni affairs; College President Francis J. Michelini; National Alumni President Thomas J. Moran; Chairman Carl Zoolkoski; and Pete Winebrake, chairman of the Homecoming. It was agreed by all who attended that "more of the same" should be programmed for the current year and since the event there have been many reports of regrets on the part of other alumni that they did not make the affair. Another meeting will be announced for the "Campus Chapter” before the end of the year and plans will be made for the formation of committees to handle a variety of categories ranging from social to academic to develop­ ment. All agreed that the Wilkes College Alumni Association members wanted to have a greater voice in the future of the school and were unanimous in their pledge of support for those projects which will enable the college to con­ tinue its growth and meet its commitments to the students of today and tomorrow. �A Quarter Century of Campus Theater If he had laid the bricks himself — Al Groh could not have been more responsible for the development of the Wilkes College Theater. And for the record, he even tried to do that — Groh displays a hard hat in his office that was a gift from the Sordoni construction men during the building of the Center for the Performing Arts. If building the CPA seemed like a labor of love__it is understandable. After all, with this Fall’s production of “Guys and Dolls,” Groh marks his 25th year at Wilkes, including two years as a student of the then Bucknell Junior College. And after 60-odd theater productions, Groh fondly re­ calls that Dr. Eugene S. Farley asked him to fill in as di­ rector of the “Barrets of Wimpole Street in 1947,” until they found someone else. Member. o;. n-h co-’fege After three years serving without contract, the College finally signed on Groh, and today he sits- in his modern office in the CPA and jokes, “I guess they haven’t found anybody yet!" at ptoio fn honor of Class of 1974 at farm of Dr. Eugene 5. Farley. ---------- l~-——-1 700 Freshmen Become Members of Campus Family' I Groh likes to tell how the old carriage house had a turnstile in the center of the floor for washing cars, and, “We even washed cars there — sometimes when we were in rehearsal.” Improvisation was a key part of the program in the early years, and up until the opening of the new CPA in 1965, Chase was considered a temporary stage. Groh held some of his rehearsals on the lawn, and it wasn’t unheard of for student thespians to make an entrance or exit through the windows. President Francis J. Michelini and Dean George Ralston (second and third from left, standing) 'welcomed four Greek students and their travel companions to the col­ lege. The four are part of the new Freshman Class. Pr. '■ Al Groh has come a long way from his student days here at Wilkes, where he once played the role of Elbert Lovberg in “Hedda Gabler.” His memories cover the whole span of theater at Wilkes — beginning in the days when Chase Hall served as the theater. Approximately 700 new students joined the Wilkes College "Campus Faculty” during the Fall Semester and after the usual problems of registering, finding out where everything is located and solving the countless other items so necessary to their new effort, they involved themselves in the social activities. there was no hazing this year for the first time, but the freshmen were kept busy with a week-long period of orienta­ tion and social events which enabled them to quickly become acquainted with life as it is on the Wilkes Campus. They were welcomed at a luncheon by Dr. Francis JMichelini, president, and told that Wilkes exists only for the sake of serving them and providing them witli an education which will prepare them for the greater tasks ahead. -id Mr Francis /. Michelini taking part in outdoor festivities Groh defends the students ingenuity and sense of hu­ mor — and fans attending the recent Homecoming concert of "Blood, Sweat, and Tears” might be surprised to learn that the light board used at the Armory that evening was one built by Groh and his student crew in 1948 for the Chase Theater. "When we moved over here (the CPA) we brought it with us — it still comes in handy for the Fine Arts Fiesta on the Square,” Groh explains. Despite a successful quarter century directing Wilkes theater, Groh places the credit with everyone from the playwrights, to the students, to the audiences themselves. He firmly believes that the theater belongs to the students, and above all, it should be an educative experience. He chooses plays that give an opportunity to the great­ est amount of students to participate, that provide a meaningful theatrical experience, and which combine sound intellectual and emotional experiences. If the play fits in with the student's other areas of study so much the better says Groh — and he empliasi '.cs ilitil hi con­ cern is not to turn out professional stage performers, but to provide training for the students to go out .nd teach theater on a public level. Asked what makes good theater, Groh shot back with the answer, "good audiences!" Al Groh goes over the script of his latest production, "Guys and Dolls," with the leads Elliot J. Stabler and Rita Singer. But he reflected that his aim is not to offer simply a theatrically entertaining experience. “That’s not valid. You don’t try to divert an audience — you offer an imaginative challenge.” His favorite plays over the years have included “The Master Builder,” “Enemy of the People,” “Raisin in the Sun,” and “The Music Man.” Out of some 60 plays, he maintains he liked them all, but, naturally, was more attuned to some than others. As he bounds about the huge stage directing the cast of the latest Kiwanis musical (he has directed all of them), Groh seems completely attuned to not only the play, but to the theater itself. It seems hard to believe that five years ago, following a quick move from Chase, Groh had to call the Century Lighting Company for fast directions on where to find the lights! Groh is a Wilkes-Barre native, and a graduate of Meyers High School, Bucknell Junior College, and Syra­ cuse University. During the war he flew 60 missions with the 15th Air Force, stationed in Italy. Following his dis­ charge in 1945, he received his master's degree in com­ parative literature at Columbia University. It was then that Dr, Farley asked Groh to "fill in" and he’s been here ever since. Today, there’s no sign on his office door in the theater — Groh explains that it isn’t really his — it belongs to everyone. There are those at Wilkes who might disagree with him. page / 9 page / 8 �Wilkes Alumni Return To C ��Need For New Patriotism (The following address was given recently by Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, former president of Wilkes College, before a gathering of Legionnaires at their convention in Wilkes-Barre.) by EUGENE S. FARLEY Chancellor We enter an unknown world as we enter the eighth decade of the twentieth century. This world is unknown because man, its creator, has released physical and human forces that are beyond his comprehension. To live in this new world of his own creation, he must gain a greater comprehension of himself, of his institutions, and of the new forces he has released. Simultaneously, he must adapt his old beliefs and loyalties to these new conditions, and he must do this without sacri­ ficing those great personal values and national ideals that have given hope and integrity to succeeding generations.

The full impact of change upon our nation and our personal lives is seldom com­ prehended; we take too much for granted. But, if you think that our lives have not been affected by technology, those of us who were members of the services in 1918 have only to review the sixty to seventy-five years in which we have lived to create an awareness of the changes that have taken place. We were bom in the serene days of the "horse and buggy"; we are now living in the age of automation and instant communication. And, those who served in the 1940’s are very aware of the material, social and moral changes that affect the lives of their children. The standards and influences of the 1940’s are not those of the 1970's. And yet there is need to preserve those values that are enduring in all generations. Probably the changes in our mode of living during the past three decades have exceeded the changes that have occurred, heretofore, in any three centuries. And if we consider the changes of the twentieth century, we are shocked to discover that the changes resulting from sci­ ence and technology have altered men’s lives, and values, and institutions in seven decades more than they were altered in the preceding thousand years. And, the rate of change continues to accelerate so that the changes of the next decade will probably be greater than the changes of the last three decades. To prepare to live in the midst of radical change, we must give thought to the effect of these changes upon the quality of our lives. We are painfully learning that mate­ rial progress, if unguided, can destroy the quality of our physical environment. So it is that we are, of late, con­ cerned with pollution, overpopulation, and waste of our natural resources. So it is that we are at last awakening to the fact that our spiritual and human values are also being altered and eroded. To conserve these values, it is necessary that they be equated to the changing needs of modern man. And, as patriotism has been one of the great but unseen forces of the past, we need to give thought to the nature and the ettects of patriotism in the new world in which we live and in the newer world that is emerging. The nation, like e atom, contains so much power that it must be gov­ erned carefully. And because patriotism is the unseen force that sustains the nation, we must give much thought to the nature of this force. In the past it has unified peo­ ple; in the future it may be called upon to unify nations. As it is no longer possible for modern man or modern nations to exist in isolation, we are now compelled by common sense to reconsider the nature of our patriotism and the effects upon our nation and upon all peoples whose lives are affected by the economic, social, political and military power of our United States, “the Colossus of the Free World.” In this decade, the powers of the two super states are so great that these powers must be used carefully and thoughtfully. Like the atom, their power is so great that it can destroy; like the atom, this great power can be use­ ful only when used judiciously. You and I were raised in that period when the Amer­ ican Dream offered hope to men in our own and in other countries. On this new continent it seemed possible to break the fetters of the past and to gain new opportunities for self-realiziation under a system of laws that guaran­ teed “liberty and justice for all.” It was a great dream and it led to great advances and great achievements. It seems, somehow, to have been lost to the post-war generations, and some regard it as an irrational delusion. These critics condemn our failure to translate the great ideals and as­ pirations of the past into a Utopian reality. They do not sense that our progress was made as men of many nations became the diverse peoples of one nation. They see only the failures and none of the gains. They have not yet learned that human betterment re­ sults from man's eternal quest for something better. The ideal must always lure us toward a goal that is better than goals already attained. Our critics have not yet learned that all gains in human welfare are the results of pains­ taking effort, dedicated involvement and human suffering. They believe that ideals which have sustained our efforts should be today’s reality. They do not recognize that it is acceptance of these ideals that causes dissatisfaction with “what is" and leads us to search for something better. Nor do they realize that it is man’s continuing quest that nur­ tures the best in man. You and I can agree that patriotism requires loyalty, integrity and courage, but in this complex nation of ours it is not possible for all of us to possess the same values or to seek the same goals. We can, however, be united in our quest for decency, justice and equality of opportunity _ not for people of one nation, or creed, or color but for all peoples. If we do this, we restore the American Dream and give new vitality to our patriotism. We may even, in spite of the fear created by our vast power, regain the confidence of those people who have come to mistrust and fear us. Because we have become so powerful, we must use this power for the welfare of mankind and of nations. If we can restore some measure of faith in our national ideals, the Statue of Liberty may once again be- page / 15 (continued on page 17) �Ecological Meanderings .. evolutionary principle of modification for survival. The more dominant characters march four abreast apparently unmindful of the ancient rhymes and cadet-like cause old ladies, faculty members, and dogs to step from the pavement to the lawn or even into the shrubbery. These somewhat humorous behavorial activities are manifestations of thought patterns which some ecologists now think are hereditary. And, we may note, psychologists put great value on the desire to explore, for the explorers are, of course, the pathfinders. by DR. CHARLES B. REIF Chairman, Biology Department That I should be asked to „ write an ecological essay for THE ALUMNUS came as a complete .. r'_ surprise r/„to me but fortunately the word "ecology’’ has been bandied about in the public press sufficiently so that I1 have some idea of the meaning of the word, and, more fortui fortui-­ tously, I recalled the letter' which I had written to the editor of THE BEACON last winter and gratefully realized that my letter had ecolog­ ical connotations. Thus it came to pass that my meditation was directed t- **■--------- "■ ..................................................... to the ecological significance of paths and pathways, large and small. In early days (and even before) of r Wilkes College, exclusive of that faraway I complex consisting of Conyngham Hall and | Weckesser (The First) Hall, the entire cam- | pus was composed of Chase Hall, Kirby Hall, and their contiguous yards. In those halcyonic days, when aesthetics seemed more important than activism, and the world was once again being made safe for democracy, the college's paths were laid out sensibly enough, tastefully enough, and large enough to handle the traffic. Even the Army Air Corps Cadets, who I when in formation marching along Rivsr DR- Charles b. reif Street crowded ordinary students and elderly civilians from the sidewalk with military impartiality, found the gently curving path between Chase Hall and Kirby Hall to be ample. Furthermore, both ordinary students and cadets were trained to stay on the path and off the grass so that the greensward flourished so luxuriantly that none had yet needed to invent Spartanturf2. But, alas, even the early leaders did not envision what would hap­ pen to that path and to that lawn. As the student population burgeoned and the students became more and more serious in their pursuit of education, cutting corners became the name of the game. Every second saved in going from one class to another, or from a class to study in the library, was a second saved for more storing of knowledge. Not only was the student body growing but the campus was ex­ panding, from Market Street to Ross Street. Saving seconds became a necessity if one were not to be late to a lecture in general zoology; more and more corners were cut; and less and less grass had a chance to contribute its little bit of oxygen for the brain cells of those eager students. As each new building changed from taxable (civilian status) to non-taxable (academic freedom), the students found new ways to travel from building to building and thus came into being many new muddy tracks (paths, in this context) across the greensward. The erection of the musical portion of the CPA (Center for the Performing Arts and not Certified Personnal Accounting, as you might suspect) brought into being that unsightly path beneath the Kirby Elm which in turn brought into being a letter to the campus newspaper editor; the principle being exemplified here is known as the Rodda3 Law, the main idea of which is, that in planning a campus the architect should not lay out a single path but rather make lawn all over and wait to see where the students decide they are going to walk. The Rodda Law in practice accomplishes (in addition to the location of the campus paths) some much-valued student participation in academic affairs4. All of the above illustrates various ecological habits of both students and civilians. Within the population are many differently oriented indi­ viduals whose relationships to paths are of significance in this context. Some are set in their ways and stick to paths, even preferring one path to another because of past associations established by use of this path or that path. Others change paths frequently and easily adjust to changes in the environment. The latter are adaptible and follow the 1 ...... .......... 2 » by Dr. Charles B. Reif But let us shift our attention from campus pathways winding among ivy-covered halls and consider highways in the world of reality. As America’s roads become bigger and bigger, and reach farther and far­ ther, they divide towns long established, alter scenery long admired, and extend into pathless parts of the land like cancer into healthy tissue, taking with them the blight of culture. Whereas the human death toll on American highways may be a useful, but piddling, form of checking the population explosion, the insidiousness of the extension of traffic into unspoiled areas is certainly degrading the environment. Creatures other than men also have their favorite paths in their worlds and despite man’s attempts to fence them out how many of those creatures (who, unbeknownst to them, do have a part in main­ taining a livable environment for mankind) are slaughtered by fast­ moving automobiles! Even the fowl of the air have their nesting areas taken away by the building of roads, and they have their flyways en­ dangered by the roar of traffic. Some ecologists think we are on the road to ruin,6 quite literally! McHarg7 has made some kind of progress in suggesting where new highways can best be put, but even his suggestions are forced choices, the best of what can be done in light of previous damage to Mother Earth. The need to establish new and necessary pathways as the human population continues (Woe is me!) burgeon (What a beautiful word!) is ecological problem number one. The impatient young want to throw away the road map. Some of them want to build new roads; some sound as if they want to do away with roads altogether. And as more and more individuals within the human population attempt to do it their way, many people will have trouble telling whether they are on or off the path. Past experience has shown that the greater the crowd to be handled peacefully, the more careful the planning must be and the greater the amount of regulation needed. The clash between those who want to throw away the road map and those who want stricter enforcement of the traffic code is a fundamental ecological interaction. The day of endless streams of automobiles, each automobile carrying one person from home to office, waiting for numerous traffic lights to change, all the while uselessly spending millions of dollars pouring hydrocarbons into the atmosphere, may soon be forced to terminate. Men must soon discover how to get from here to there less destructively or else their going from here to there may no longer have any appeal. Come, join me at Boovil Lice Acres, where we can still see the hills of Noxen as yet unspoiled except for several night-shattering yard lights, and we shall walk where no path exists beneath the trees up to Fairlea,8 the while searching for mushrooms and looking for birds. I don't think the racket of the motorcycles in summer or the wail of the snowmobiles in winter will bother you, too much. We have already become desensi­ tized to a degree more than we realize.

Page / 16 'Forward Thrust' Needs Increased to $5,250,000 In a new appeal to the alumni and friends of Wilkes College, Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, who has personally accepted the challenge of continuing the growth of the institution, announced that the cost of the new building under the Operation Forward Thrust campaign has risen to $5,250,000. He made the announcement in a letter to all those who have in the past indicated a strong desire to see Wilkes College continue its growth and keep pace with the edu­ cational demands of the times. Dr. Farley’s letter reads: "When last I wrote to thank you for your support of the College, I anticipated that my services at the College were coming to an end. Since that time, the Board of Trustees has asked me to continue with that portion of my work which had to do with long-range planning and development. In consequence, I am writing once again to thank you for your support and interest and to report the progress that we have made, thus far, in our Forward Thrust Campaign. “The total funds that now seem to be available approx­ imate $2,250,000. Had the estimated cost of the building not increased during the campaign, this would put us within striking distance of our S3,000,000 goal. Unfortun­ ately, inflation and enlarged plans have increased ihe estimated cost to $5,250,000. “Because the new building is so essential to the con­ tinuing development and maintenance of new programs in environmental science, electronics and materials engi­ neering and the arts, the Trustees and Administration feel that every effort must be made to assure completion of the building. Failure to complete this important building would necessitate abandonment of these forward-looking programs which are closely related to the needs of stu­ dents and to the future needs of Northeastern Pennsyl­ vania. “We have progressed because of your help. Because you have supported our efforts, I wished to advise you of the gains that we have made and of the challenge that still confronts us. "As always, I am Gratefully yours, EUGENE S. FARLEY PATRIOTISM (continued from page 15) come a symbol of hope. I have spoken of a "new patriotism" but have not de­ fined this new patriotism. To do so would be presump­ tuous for each of us must determine within his own heart what he can do to translate our great national ideals into national goals and achievements. We are challenged by the gains we have made and by the ideals upon which we have been nurtured. We have placed our faith in the hope that man under law can attain and maintain a measure of freedom — a freedom that is sustained by justice and by the belief that man responds to good will, integrity and fairness. Let us search our consciences as did the founders of our nation. Let us renew our faith in ideals that will enhance the wel­ fare of our neighbors and will unite us as we move into the uncertainties of the unknown future. page / 17 �s p o Roland Schmidt experimented with four hopefuls before making his per­ manent selection prior to the start of the Ithaca Homecoming game. Jeff Giberson, a 5-11, 175-lb. soph­ omore is the Colonels new field gen­ eral and in less than three full games has shown the same brilliance as his oredecessor Joe Zakowski. The bright­ est hour for the young sophomore came in the 16-14 win over highflying Alfred, where he picked the Saxon defense apart for a record breaking 17 of 34 pass completions for 210 yds. R T S Colonels Find Key Against Alfred Eleven After encountering early season dif­ ficulty the 1970 Colonels seem to have found their -winning combination and are off and running like the Wilkes­ men of the late 1960's. Pre-season skepticism had pointed toward the quarterback slot as being a major cause for concern and the ap­ prehension proved true as Head Coach Junior tailback Ted Yeager continues his wizardrj' on the gridiron and with each carry and yard gained adds a new entrv in the Colonel record book. His career totals after the first five games of the 1970 season are a rush­ ing total of 1635 yards on 353 carries well above the old standards of 1286 and 347 previously held by Paul Purta (1963-66) and Marv Antinnes (1957-60) respectively. Wilkes opened the grid season against a spirited Lycoming College eleven, and the visitors stung the Blue and Gold with a 21-19 defeat. The Colonels held an early 16-7 lead in the contest until a late second quarter touchdown and unseasonal fall heat turned the tide against the hosts, who had not lost at Ralston Field since its dedication in 1965. Poor second half pass defense took its toll in the second encounter of tti year as Wilkes built up a 14-q fj. ® half lead over Moravian only to se' the Greyhounds unload via the air ways in the vesper half for two scores' The game ended in a 14-14 stalemate Untimely interceptions and fumbles proved to be the culprit in game num ber three as the Wilkesmen miscued their way to a 16-10 defeat to Dela­ ware Valley. Homecoming may very well have spelled the turning point for the hap­ less Colonels as the Blue and Gold displayed their finest effort to date before the visiting alumni. The charges of Coach Schmidt played almost fault­ less offensive and defensive football until the waning seconds of the con­ test when Ithaca pushed across a late score to humble the Colonels, 25-21. Alfred University invaded WilkesBarre with an unblemished 5-0 record and a second place rating in the week­ ly Lambert Bowl rankings, but went home a defeated team as the Colonels finally put it all together for a hardfought 16-14 victory. The winning touchdown was scored by sophomore Giberson, who very well will be the key to the future.

Two of their de­ feats came at the hands of powerful Philadelphia Textile and Muhlenberg. Both Colleges are leading the respec­ tive Northern and Southern Divisions of the Middle Atlantic Conference. Bill Murphy and Drew Gubanich are the only seniors on the varsity squad which would seem to indicate that happy years ahead are in store for Rokita and his soccermen.

Stark H°n°"'ychahm* M,ss Mary r K A Work Of Art... By ART HOOVER, '55 Director of Alumni Relations Mcmber Reuben H. Levy ™"Orary Menrbe, Louis Shaffer, Esq. 1 A A Chairman While it hardly seems possible, another Alumni Homecoming is rapidly approaching — my second since becoming your Director of Alumni Relations. As I pause to reflect on last year’s successful Homecoming and to an­ ticipate the potential of our 1971 program, I gain the impression that as alumni we are on the move" and “moving forward.' Although our annual Homecoming Week­ end is just one of our alumni programs, it is a significant one because it provides an ideal “built-in” opportunity for our grads to return to the campus. Despite the tendency of fellow alums to discount the impor­ tance of college memories, nostalgia and homecoming are synonymous and they can be meaningful to us individually and collectively. Moreso, a visit to the campus at homecom­ ing can help to provide greater insight into the current state of college growth — both in physical terms and programs and in reputation. Last year's Homecoming Weekend attracted hundreds of fellow alumni because the program was different. Again this year, the program of activities is slightly different because the committee has retained some of the “old” and added something “new." For example, an ecumenical church service on Sunday morning at the Center for the Performing Arts with one of our own alumni, Jim Moss, '54, as speaker, is something entirely new to our program. This service, with representative clergy from all faiths, will be followed by a coffee-hour at The Commons. Hopefully, this type of activity may become traditional. Overall, I’m certain that as you review the entire pro­ gram scheduled for our 24th Annual Alumni Homecoming Weekend, you will find many events that appeal to you. There­ fore, why not plan now to join with hundreds of our fellow alumni for a bigger and better HOMECOMING at WILKES on OCTOBER 29-31. You won't be sorry! Lai; Charles H.

Subscription —S2-00 Make Plans Now To Attend HOMECOMING on October 29-30-31 page / 3 �Al ExfliH Time To Bt Alive By William Attwood Publisher, Newsday in an address before The Class of 1975 So I’d like to take these few minutes and talk about what these next few years could mean to us__ and especially to you who will be choosing your life’s work in this decade. And I also have a few notions on how each one of you can make the most of this ex­ citing moment in human history. As you’ll find out someday, one of the few priv­ ileges of growing older is handing out unsolicited advice to captive audiences. Maybe you’re all hoping I'm going to be an exception to the rule. Well, I’m not. The title — or theme — for my remarks today is, “An Exciting Time to be Alive." I realize this is a tried and true topic — I might even say trite and true, because a case can be made — and has been made over the years by countless speakers — that the pres­ ent is always an exciting time to be alive. In fact, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale and others go so far as to say that just being alive is exciting. Well, I can remember too many toothaches and headaches and dreary Monday mornings to subscribe to that philosophy. But I picked this theme anyway, because I doubt if any single period in man's 100,000year history can match the one we are now living in for sheer excitement. Just consider this decade of the seventies into which you will be graduating. At long last, we are exploring the mysterious universe that surrounds our planet. At the same time, we are faced with the choice of giving up organized warfare or maybe end­ ing this long adventure by atomic suicide. Ten years from now, life on earth may have been made impossible by human stupidity — or it may have been transformed by human intelligence and in­ genuity into something better than we have ever known. Page/4 First off, let me stress the fact that you are grow­ ing up in a world that is changing faster than it ever has before. It may be hard to realize, here in placid Pennsylvania, but we are in the midst of a world­ wide revolution — or rather, several revolutions. The old colonial order — and with cy of the world’s white, Christian vanished. New nations — and new are rushing into the vacuum. This revolution. it, the suprema­ minority — has imperialisms — is the political Most of the new nations want to break through the sound barrier of modernization in a few years. I've spent some years in those nations. Billions of people are hungry for the things we take for granted. This is the economic revolution. But they are trying to do this against the back­ ground of a population explosion that will double the number of people in the poor countries during the next generation. This is the biological revolution. Meanwhile, supersonic flight, atomic energy and the missile have made the world much smaller and much more dangerous. No place on. earth is very far away: last June I left China early ione morning and was home in Connecticut the same day. In a few more years you’ll probably —j be— able ____to commute to Europe and a lot more Cuiniui muiy than man my neigh u ­ comfortably bors in New Canaan commute to New York on the New Haven railroad. And no one in this world is safe anymore. A naan in Washington or in Moscow could pick up the phone right now and we could all be dead in thirty minutes. Never in history have so many people been at tie mercy of so few. This is the scientific revolution. Together, these revolutions have made the world a far different place than it was when I was a college freshman. and let's not forget that the endangered plankton in the oceans produce 80 percent of the oxygen that all of us on the globe need to survive. That is why your generation — whose minds are not so cluttered with pre-atomic age attitudes — will have a big part to play. Similarly, we all have an interest in closing the gap between the rich and poor nations of the world, where, incidentally, a dollar spent on birth control can do more for economic development than a dollar spent in any other way. (I wasn’t surprised to find the future-oriented Chinese preoccupied with contra­ ception.) There are just four words that together sum up the life and death problems facing your generation. Most of these words, curiously enough, begin with the letter “P.” They are peace, poverty, pollution and population. [Some people might add pot, pornogra­ phy and publishing — but at least they won’t kill you!) Peace. The nations of the world have spent over two thousand billion dollars for military security in the past twenty years — but are any of us more se­ cure? And what in fact, is security when it depends on our capacity to murder hundreds of millions of innocent people? Can we still regard war as a legiti­ mate instrument of foreign policy? Poverty. Isn’t the real division in the world north­ south rather than east-west — that is, between the one-third of mankind who are well-off and the twothirds who are poor? Can we keep our eyes on the stars and the earth at the same time? Can we avoid the invidious implication that we, the rich, are con­ tent to explore the heavens, while the poor inherit the earth? And how long can we put up with urban ghettoes in America — colonies, really, that spend $29 billion a year — of which 98 percent goes out of the ghetto? Pollution. Are we ready to make our peace with nature? Or will we go on treating nature as our ene­ my until we realize — too late — that in destroying the balance of nature we also are destroying our­ selves? It is already much later than we think. Population. Are we ready to face the fact that only drastic action to control population growth in this decade can prevent mass famine and worldwide sav­ agery? Or will we drift along until we reach that day in the year 2700 when the graphs show that there’ll be just one square foot of space left for each human being to stand on? All these life-and-death problems are interrelated — all are international (atomic fallout knows no boundaries) —and all require American initiative be­ cause of our enormous wealth and power. All are inter-related because without population control poverty and hunger will become endemic. Peace will then be endangered. And nuclear war, while perhaps solving the population problem, will pollute our planet beyond redemption. And all these problems are international. For ex­ ample, Lake Baikal in Siberia is getting as filthy as Lake Erie and Shanghai as smoggy as Los Angeles — As for peace, I recall an evening I spent two years ago at my home in Connecticut with two high offi­ cials of the Soviet Foreign Ministry. After a good deal of vodka and bourbon whiskey, one of them con­ fessed: "Our problem is not with each other, it is with our generals — the ones in Moscow as well as the ones in Washington." And I remembered being kept awake in Peking by 'round-the-clock construc­ tion of an air raid shelter outside my hotel. We have internationalized outer space and Ant­ arctica. We must now soon move to internationalize the ocean beds, as President Nixon suggested last year. But these are only small though essential first steps towards the ultimate internationalization — or detribalization — of mankind. Fortunately, the youth of the world — on both sides of the iron curtain — sense this better than their elders. Except in China — a special case — ideology — whether communist or anti-communist — means less and less in a world where urgent problems are crying out for practical, not doctrinaire, solutions. This is especially true, I think, in the United States which, as I pointed out, has such a big role in shaping the future. So that is why I remain an optimist — and why I often wish I were young enough to see the new world that is going to emerge from our present agony and turbulence. The space age has given a fresh impetus to inter­ national understanding, for it has enabled many peo­ ple [especially here in TV-viewing America) to see the world for the first time as it really is, not as the vast and mysterious arena of past centuries where hostile tribes called “nations” vied for territory, but rather the way the poet Archibald MacLeish de­ scribed it the day after the astronauts of Apollo II landed on the moon: “To see the earth as it truly is, small and blue and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the eternal cold — broth­ ers who know now they are truly brothers.” How does all this apply to you? How do you pre­ pare yourself so as to take an active part in the ad­ ventures and challenges of the seventies and be­ yond? How, indeed, can you have some fun in the midst of this turmoil? page / 5 �the advice but before I inflict you Well, here comes the advice, 0 . gtevenson You with it let me quote againfro the will remember that.he died1 some s y way all of us would finished a day s work walk a London street on the “‘ye.,. ««. Aaiei hfa I. w >• • seniors: “What a man knows at fifty that he did not know at twenty is, for the most part, incommunicable . . . the knowledge he has acquired with age is not the knowledge of formulas, or forms of words, but of people, places, actions - a knowledge not gained by words but by touch, sight, sound, victories, failures, sleeplessness, devotion, love - the hrnnan experi­ ences and emotions of this earth and of oneself and other men.” Well, the gap in our ages is about the same. I be­ long to the generation to whom a swinger was a bobby soxer who danced to Benny Goodman and to whom the injunction “keep off the grass” had noth­ ing to do with smoking. So the problem of trying to communicate the uncommunicable remains. Still, I will start by saying a few words about one of the phrases in the Declaration of Independence — the pursuit of happiness. Some of my contemporaries have knocked them­ selves out in hot pursuit of this elusive state of mind: some can't even define it. But all of us are interested in it All of us want to spend whatever years we have on earth — since we are all condemned to death — as happily as possible. Albert Schweitzer once defined happiness as having good health and a bad memory. President Kennedy liked the ancient Greek definition: “The exer­ cise of vital powers in a life affording them scope.” Another way of putting it is having the ability to stay young —not in years; you can’t do that —but in heart. Being young in heart means that you spend more of your time thinking about the future than about the past — more planning for tomorrow, which you can do something about, than remembering yes­ terday, which you can’t change. Secondly, to be happy you have to be generally optimistic. I don’t mean optimistic like the man who fell off the Empire State Building and shouted “So far, so good," as he passed the 32nd floor. I mean very carefully. But I will say that I think ation is going to be a turbulent one to b i|0Ur Sener. the cold war subsides — and I believe it’s h8 to’ ■ As people are going to see that the world's r i°Und to are more north-south than east-west, mor Pr°blemS and ideological.

And nobody who’s content to be confused can ever be really happy. Next — point five — try to be creative. By that I don’t mean you have to paint a picture, write a book or compose a song — though all can be very satisfy­ ing. There are lots of other ways of being creative. In Kenya, I knew a Peace Corps volunteer named George Owen who, at twenty-four, was supervising 900 African farms and running a cattle dipping oper­ ation for the local cooperative. He designed it him­ self. That was creative — just as anything is if you can say about it, “It’s there because of what I did.” Creating something by your own talent that you can be proud of is about the only way you can ever recapture, if only fleetingly, that rare feeling of being fully alive and seeing the world in bright colors. Rare, because far too many people get it only once -— usual­ ly when they are very young and in love for the first time. You’ll never really know the world just by reading books about it. You’ll never begin to understand India until you spend your first night in one of its villages or take your first walk through a Calcutta slum and you’ll never really understand the Communist system until you see it in action and talk to the people who have to live under it. If you can — and this, I think, is my sixth point — get involved somehow in the history of your own time. For a boy I guess that's been pretty easy these past few years if you carried a draft card. But I don’t mean Vietnam; believe it or not, that won’t last for­ ever. Of course the world is changing. As I said, we are part of a dynamic civilization evolving at supersonic speed. But that’s all the more reason to move with it and, each in our own way, each doing our own thing, to influence the evolution for the better, to make this increasingly mechanized and violent society more human — and more humane. And you’ll find that be­ ing a working idealist is more fun than sticking your head in the sand or saying “What’s the use?” The Peace Corps, on the other hand, will endure because its volunteers are needed wherever there are people to be taught and helped. George Owen was one of the happiest young Americans I’ve ever met, galloping to work on horseback through the green highlands of Kenya, playing his guitar for his African friends, enjoying their affection and gratitude for what he was teaching them. He was really living, really involved in history. A few years ago, a Unitarian clergyman named Powell Davies said: “The world has become too small for anything less than brotherhood, and too danger­ ous for anything less than the truth.” There’s plenty to be done here at home, too, to im­ prove our society. In business, in medicine, in teach­ ing, in journalism, in government or what have you, there are opportunities for participating in history. Or even in raising children, if you do it right and help them to be the kind of citizens our world needs. Well, the brotherhood of man may not be around the corner, but we will certainly get there sooner i we all come to know more of the truth about sac other. So I would say that point four in this pseu ° sermon is quite important, and that is: Learn to 1S Government: don’t knock it. Your votes in 1972 can make a tremendous difference in what happens to us all. So can your participation later on. tinguish between what’s true and what isn't. SXS5 £ are This isn’t always easy, whether you’re looking a^ television commercial, listening to a political sPee or even reading the New York Times. For the opP tunities for diffusing nonsense have multipH6 . the growth of’ mass communications. Our senS^l ^g under constant harassmentour emotions are i Why not go into government as I did? Today we need dedicated, hard-working men and women to make the decisions on which our lives and our future depend. Here is what former Secretary of State Dean Acheson recently wrote about a career in govern­ ment: “How then does one present to young people a life of public service? Not, I am sure, as an evangelist appealing to the young squires to turn their backs on the world and dedicate themselves to a sort of secu­ lar order for ministering to peasants, nor as crusad­ ers to bring Communist infidels to capitalism or the sword. Rather, I think, one educates them to know the world in which they live; to understand that gov­ ernment will go on whether they take part in it or not; that command is too important to be entrusted to the ignorant, even though they may be well-mean­ ing and dedicated, and to an understanding of the good life, of happiness as the Greeks saw it, of the joy of exercising vital powers in a life affording them scope, of the limitless scope of governmental re­ sponsibilities.” Whatever you do, I doubt if you will find real sat­ isfaction in just making money. And without real satisfaction in your work you'll never make much headway in your pursuit of happiness. Finally, I would say that acquiring skills is essential to leading a full and happy life. Nobody can do every­ thing well, but everybody should try to excel at something — whether it’s speaking a foreign language, playing a musical instrument or building a ham radio. The ability to do something better than other people opens doors that are otherwise closed. In my own case, when I went to work for a newspaper after the war, I was sent to Paris as a foreign correspondent — because I could speak French: otherwise, I’d have started as a copy boy in the city room. And now I see that like all speakers of my gener­ ation, I’ve violated some of my own rules. I've gone overtime, I've given unsolicited advice, I've acted like a PR man for Consciousness II and I’m now on the verge of sounding like Ann Landers. Forgive me for the overtime. As for the advice, it’s more fun to give than to receive — as you’ll find out. And if I hadn’t yielded to the temptation to pontifi­ cate, somebody would have felt cheated. So now let me just urge you to make the most of these next four years — most people don't — and to close these remarks with a quote from the inaugura­ tion speech of Jack Kennedy — the one man I've known who would have persuaded me to take time out from journalism to work for my government: “Now the trumpet summons us again — not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need — not as a call to battle, though embattled we are — but a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle, year in and year out, ‘rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation' — a struggle against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself.” You’ll be busy. I envy you. page / 7 Page/6 �The National Scene Tuition increases generally escape the price freeze, but many faculty members bristle over denial of higher pay ■ Early Frost: From the standpoint of most col­ leges and universities, the 90-day wage-price freeze ordered by President Nixon in mid-August began at least two weeks too soon. Had the freeze come only days later, after the start of the new academic year, higher education would have escaped much uncertainty and many problems. As things turned out, the freeze had an uneven effect in the academic world, varying according to circumstances at particular institutions. By and large, the colleges were spared what they had most feared—cancellation of previously an­ nounced increases in tuition. But at the same time, many if not most college teachers were being de­ nied salary increases during the freeze simply because their contracts did not take effect until September. The result, said one observer, was a “very serious morale problem” on the campuses. In the confusion—official and otherwise—that surrounded the freeze in its early days, the tuition issue was one of the first to be resolved. Pressed by higher education’s representatives in Washing­ ton for a prompt ruling, federal authorities said that tuition increases could take effect if they were announced prior to Aug. 15. This was later clari­ fied to mean that an increase at a college would be allowed as long as at least one person had paid a deposit toward the higher rate. The same princi­ ple was applied to increases in room and board rates. While the tuition ruling was generally acknowl­ edged with great relief among the institutions—. though not, perhaps, among students and their parents—there were exceptions. At Wayne State University, for example, a substantial tuition in­ crease had been planned but had not yet been announced when the freeze hit. The university stood to lose about Sl-million, and its president foresaw that “important programs” would have to be curtailed. There was widespread dissatisfaction, mean­ while, among the national teachers’ organizations. I hey argued that many of their members who were being deprived of wage boosts were the vic­ tims of major inequities. This view was shared by leaders of the institutions, who hoped they could help bring about some adjustments during the post-freeze period. One university president warned that without such action the collective­ bargaming movement among faculty members could be “accentuated” in a way that might work against the Administration’s economic goals For the moment, however, the Administration’ was page/a standing firm. A top official said the policy on teachers’ pay was the same as for other wage earners. “I would hope,” he added, “that our na­ tion’s teachers do not expect special treatment.” ■ Court Rulings: Is it constitutional for the fed­ eral government to provide direct aid to churchrelated colleges? In a landmark 5-4 decision af­ fecting grants for construction, the U.S. Supreme Court has said Yes, such aid is permissible, as long as the facilities in question are not used for religious purposes. However, for some 800 col­ leges with church affiliations, it remains unclear whether other forms of government aid will be allowed. This is because the Supreme Court alsc has ruled decisively against state programs of aid to parochial schools that involved “excessive en­ tanglement between government and religion.” Some analysts believe that future cases at the col­ lege level will be decided on the basis of the char­ acteristics of specific institutions and specific aid programs. In another ruling affecting higher education, a three-judge federal panel has struck down key parts of two Pennsylvania laws aimed at depriving disruptive students of scholarships and loans. The provisions were “unconstitutionally vague and overbroad,” said the court. □ In Brief: Notwithstanding the effects of the wage-price freeze, many colleges face another year of financial strain. One important barometer —appropriations by state legislatures—points to a marked slowdown in the growth of operating funds ... A self-survey by the country’s major state universities has found that most of them are losing ground financially . . . The National Student Association, represent­ ing about 500 student governments, plans to test the enthusiasm of students for a national union that they could join as individuals. The associa­ tion also will seek a student role in collective bar­ gaining by faculty members . . . Students over 18, entitled by the 26th Amend­ ment to vote in all elections, have had trouble registering in their college towns. But their right to do so has been supported in legal rulings in at least a third of the states . . . Enrollments are growing faster at colleges and universities than at any other level of education, federal statistics show. Preliminary estimates put the total of college students this fall at over -million, a 6-per-cent increase since last year. 1970 Wilkes Graduate Proves That Books and Beauty Do Mix If your image of a librarian is a little old lady who tells you to be quiet and not disturb the books — you haven't seen Joan Harvey! Joan, a member of the Wilkes class of 1970, is an as­ sistant children's librarian at the Osterhout Free Library on South Franklin Street in Wilkes-Barre. But she’s also a tiny (five-foot), 105-pound, brown-haired, blue-eyed bundle of charm who holds the title “Miss United Fund." For all her charm, Joan is quick to point out that the Miss United Fund title is not just part of another beauty queen pageant, however. Her primary responsibility in the next few months will be to urge people throughout the Wyoming Valley to give generously to the United Fund cause — hopefully reaching a goal of $1,503,000. All of this excitement has happened very quickly to the bubbly young librarian. She was approached in August to represent the Osterhout in the pageant, and as Joan de­ scribes it, “I hesitated about three seconds and said yes.” Of the contest itself, Joan says she found every part of it to be fun, especially meeting the other contestants, who represented 23 area organizations. "It wasn't like we were competing with each other. We just all wanted to do the best job possible. We had fun, but we were also aware that it wasn’t only for fun. The United Fund was in the back of our minds — and for that reason we wanted to put on a good show.” She confides that she didn’t think she'd even make the semi-finals, and what happened after that is pretty much a blur. All at once, Lee Vincent's orchestra was playing the Miss America theme song, and last year's winner, Judy Zeedock, was placing a tiara on her head and handing her roses. Then came the camera flashes and the microphones. Joan still seems a little dazed by it all, but talking to her is a pleasure. She's natural, poised and articulate. Most of her conversation centers around her work and her main interest — not surprisingly — reading. As assistant in the children's room at the Osterhout, she explains that her duties bring her into constant contact with the public. She has been active in visiting area schools to encourage young people to read, and helps with story hours and the sum­ mer reading club. Mainly she tries to help children locate books or find ones that might interest them. Part of her job requires keeping up with new trends in children’s literature. She has drawn several conclusions from this reading. "Children's books are better today than they have ever been. I'm not certain that's so with adult literature — but I am fascinated with the range of good books we have in the children's room. I think the stories are becoming more realistic than they had been." Joan continues, "I don’t know how many people real­ ize it, but the philosophies guiding children's reading seem to go in cycles. For example, for a long time violence was considered out of place in children's stories. In order to be a good influence, we thought everything had to be sweet­ ness and light, even if it wasn't real. Joan Harvey Aside from her library work and her United Fund duties, Joan likes to read fantasy and science fiction, is entranced by the period of King Arthur, has been bowling in a women's league for six years, and likes to get in a car and take long drives for relaxation. A continuing interest has been the field of art, and Joan lists sketching, pastels and photo-montages as her favorite artistic pursuits. Other than the 101 art course at Wilkes, she has had no training. "I thought about majoring in art or English before I started college, but I realized that just about the only thing I could do in those areas was teach. Besides, for me, art is something I can do only when the spirit moves me. I didn’t like the idea of required class assignments.” After choosing psychology, she stayed with the major throughout her college career, and recalls Dr. Robert Riley and Joe Kanner as two teachers who influenced her at Wilkes. Asked how she came to work at the Osterhout after majoring in psychology, Joan laughs and says, “It doesn’t make a very good story. I needed a job, and a friend called and told me one was available at the Library. I filled out an application, had an interview on a Wednesday and began the next day.” That was a year ago, and now she admits she likes the work so much that she’d like to go for a master’s in library science someday. When asked how the new title and its responsibilities will change her life, Joan replied, "I think it will be a lot of fun. I enjoy meeting people, and my contact with the public at the Library, combined with my college activities and work with the Young Republicans, are bound to help me during the United Fund campaign. Even my major, psychology, seems to tie in. After all. what is psychology but wanting to help people — and that’s what the United Fund is all about!” page / 9 �coroner and are under his jurisdiction.

As we arrived, Dr .Hudock was examining a slide under a modern medical microscope and “talking" the observations into a modern medical dictaphone. Prominently displayed was the motto: Mortui Vivos Docent, which the doctor translated for us, "The Dead Teach the Living." We were to see that same motto later in the autopsy room in the building's basement. The Dead Teach the Living could well be the life motto of Dr. Hudock. He is a pathologist by choice and admits to en­ joying his work in that capacity. ____ o with . the coroner we get the impression that After ttalking there are a number, perhaps too many in number, of so-called grey areas concerning normal procedures at the time of death. For instance, the law is rather hazy concerning the decision to be made whether or not to call the coroner. Whenever patients die on the operating table the coroner is to be called and yet in practice such is not always the case. There are cases where a judgement must be made by someone, perhaps the attending physician. Is the death normal or should the coroner be noti­ fied? Dr. Hudock said that he is convinced that many of the deaths attributed each year to heart attack are not actually caused by heart attack. He said the number of heart attack deaths may be only 50% of those reported as coronary deaths. Dr. Hudock said he believes there should be an expansion of the coroner post, more consultations with the coroner and more autopsies in cases where doubts exist. We asked the doctor his greatest “beef” about the present coroner process in Luzerne County. He was quick to reply, "The law doesn’t set up any requirements for a person aspir­ ing to become coroner. A used car salesman or a plumber can be coroner.” He said that New York City and Philadelphia require an MD as coroner. He feels this should— be thecase in —--------every county. Dr. Hudock also reminded us that the coroner’s office is basically a part-time job. We asked if he would accept the job if it were full time and he said, "I didn't say that ... I don’t know whether or not I would.” When we asked him how he would improve the coroner's system, he mentioned a central morgue with a coroner to serve a large area, perhaps several counties. He said only two hospitals, the Nesbitt and the Gen­ eral, have “coolers” where bodies can be kept for any length of time. He said an autopsy should be a careful, slow, cautious procedure and should not have to be hurried. Here in Luzerne County, Dr. Hudock has under his com­ mand a total of 50 deputy coroners, six of whom are physi­ cians. The deputies have the s1™- primary ------- ' function as the same We asked if many autopsies are performed for medical search. “A great percentage of autopsies are performed fo' that reason,” he said. In most hospital deaths the hospital will ask the survivor for permission to perform an autopsy. We wondered if it were true that young mothers would at­ tempt to “get rid of" unwanted babies after they are bom. He said there are on record many such cases. When we asked about young babies suffocating in bedclothes and pillows, his reply was rather surprising to us. “It has been proven that a baby won’t suffocate in bedding. They just don’t suffocate." Realizing that the job of coroner can be gruesome at times, we asked if he ever becomes upset. He said, “I’m bothered when I have to perform an autopsy on a child. There’s some­ thing upsetting about that. I then go home and hug my kids and give thanks.” Dr. Hudock said that as he studies and works at his profession he becomes more deeply involved in religion. “I find I want to go to church more than just on Sun­ days. When I see how the body turns from a living thing into a decaying mass so quickly I realize there is so much to life. I become more religious.” About the abortion controversy he said, “Life is valuable, it should never be taken.” He did say, however, that he feels this at times is an individual problem. He related that there are cases where a woman comes in for a “D&C” and fails to reveal that she is pregnant. Dr. Hudock indicated that he feels there are many cases where autopsies should be performed and are not. He would like to see a central morgue with regular staff coroner serving a large area, and believes the law should require that the cor­ oner be a licensed physician. He said there is such a bill be­ fore the State Legislature, Bill 716 by number. Each year some 5,000 deaths occur in Luzerne County. Of these, about 1,200 are reported to the Coroner’s office. More than 1,000 of them are due to natural causes, 100 require autopsies. At Wyoming Valley Hospital we saw some of the modern equipment used by laboratory technicians. Machines automa ically measure blood count and other functions, flashing a series of numbers, much like a tote board at a race track, r. -‘-n with Hudock laughed, "Where the physician used to listen the body stethoscope here and there, do some thumping on the indications and examine the eyes, we now get most of our from blood. The blood indicates about 99% of distress in the system.” As we took leave of Dr. Hudock we didn't expect to r member the Latin, “Morui Vivos Docent” but the P*Jr?se impressed English, “The Dead Teach The Living” was im nrfisse in minds. Valley Observer — Courtesy of Wyoming WILKIES HAHNEMANN AND GE IN MEDICAIL PKOGRAM A revolutionary pilot program to turn out medical doctors in six years is approaching finalization and is expected to be put into operation by September of next year as a result of planning currently underway by Hahnemann Medical College and Wilkes College. Spearheading the development of this innovative program, which will cut two years of training under the current system, are: Dr. Wilbur Oaks, professor of Medicine in the Department of Internal Medicine, Hahnemann Medical College; Dr. Ralph Rozelle, Wilkes College Graduate Division chairman; Dr. Fran­ cis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College; Dr. Eugene S. Farley, chancellor of Wilkes College; and officials of the General Electric Corporation. Congressman Daniel J. Flood (D-Pa.J, chairman of the Sub­ committee on Labor, Health, Education and Welfare, is being kept informed of the development of the program. Congress­ man Flood, who has long had an interest in the health needs of Northeastern Pennsylvania, was instrumental in obtaining var­ ious medical assistance for the region, such as the 500-bed Veterans Administration Hospital more than two decades ago. The pilot program proposed by Wilkes College and Hahne­ mann will allow for the first two years of study to be taken at the Wilkes-Barre, Pa., college, the next two years at Hahne­ mann Medical College, and then the initial group of 25 stu­ dents in "family medicine” will return to a cooperating net­ work of Wilkes-Barre hospitals. Those not accepted in the special program or interested in other career goals in medicine could continue their studies at Wilkes and apply through the normal channels at the end of four years for admission to medical colleges; elect to special­ ize in another medical branch; or continue their course work in allied health professions. The first two years at Wilkes would find the selected stu­ dents taking basic science, social science and humanities courses in a program specially tailored to meet the needs of individuals going into medical school. The next two years would be spent at Hahnemann Medical College, where the pro­ fessional medical training would be provided and then the last two years would find the students returning to Wilkes College. During the final two years they would work under the guidance of regional medical doctors, who would act as pre­ ceptors at a network of Wilkes-Barre area hospitals. Through the use of General Electric Corporation’s Telstar biosatellite, a closed-circuit television system will be initiated between Wilkes College and Hahnemann Medical College. The video system will enable medical students here in Wilkes-Barre to obtain instant contact with the specialized personnel at Hahnemann, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of consultation, specialized lectures, and observation of vari­ ous medical and surgical techniques as they are being per­ formed at the Philadelphia medical center. An added feature of the closed-circuit television system of the General Electric telecommunications will be a telediag­ nostic service which will be available to all medical doctors in Northeastern Pennsylvania. This will allow them to contact specialists at Hahnemann in a matter of minutes for the pur­ pose of gaining assistance in regional emergency problems. Dr. Ralph Rozelle □arre, the uiu training uauuug During these last two years in Wilkes-Barre, will be directed by Hahnemann and will involve personnel from the college and regional hospitals. Under the plan, officials point out, the students will get their medical degrees at the end of six years. By so doing, they will not only save two years of training, but the program will also reduce the cost of medical education and will enable Hahnemann with its existing facilities to graduate a minimum 25 more physicians a year in Family Medicine. Dr. Oaks, in commenting on the program from Hahnemann recently, said that the educational program is intended to be a totally integrated educational experience and will no longer have the boundaries and partitions of previous medical school education. “It will include,” he said, "not only the educational program, but also a residency program in family medicine, in­ creased opportunities for paramedical personnel, who will participate in the team medicine concept.' He further explained, "Continuing education will be carried out in a meaningful fashion for all. Through the General Elec­ tric Telecommunications and Diagnostic Network, the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania will have backup medical col­ lege expertise for hospital care." Jointly, officials of Wilkes and Hahnemann described the program as one in which both schools have long had an inter­ est. Discussions of appropriate alternative methods of provid­ ing quality medical education in Northeastern Pennsylvania have been in progress for many years. As it is envisioned, as many as 100 students could be ad­ mitted to the program next fall with up to 25 being selected on the basis of academic qualifications and aptitude at the end of a two-year period for continuation in the program at Hahnemann Medical College. page / 11 Page / 10 �©LASS op 1975 JOINS WSOIkos <§©H[gg(g ‘FamoD^ During to es jman Wet 9ttfact rs^- Approximately 600 freshmen and 100 transfer students at which new students were briefed attended the traditiona| ■ —'-J on college life. conference Dean GeorEe Ralston, ^^'’orieTtatlo^as^ha °" ?h° C” campus, continued to be a key port as he presided at -t most The freshmen were introduced to “Fair-Lea” — Dr. Farley’s farm—where the., wound up their week of orientation with a picnic and pep rally. gatherings.

Julian Bond, Georgia legislator, told a capacity crowd at Wilkes College's Center for the Performing Arts in the first of the 197172 Concert and Lecture Series. Bond, who gained national prominence during the 1968 Democratic convention when he received a num­ ber of votes for the vice presidential nomination, identified racism as the major ill plaguing America today, and he indicated that political activism on the part of United States citizens is the key to be used in attacking racism. “The racist policies of the American government and institutions guarantee that black people suffer in good times and bad.” Bond said. Persons who are opposed to racism must organize in the 1972 election to elect a new president, a new vice president and a new Congress. “In 1972, the nominee of the Democratic Party has to be someone who delivers reality and not rhetoric to the blacks,” the speaker asserted. Responding to a question from the audience, Bond made clear how this political activism might work on the local level. According to Bond, the impetus for political acti­ vism in each of the states could be provided by hav­ ing local black politicians run in the presidential pri­ maries. “In state primaries, where there are several candi­ dates on the ballot, it is possible that a man like this would be able to win with a plurality of the votes,” Bond indicated. “Then, when convention time rolls around, this man could use his delegate strength to gain concessions from one of the major candidates. He could turn his delegates over to the candidate who says he will do the most for blacks." In attacking racism, Bond stated: “It is racism which elected the present President, racism which makes our cities wastelands and racism which is tak­ ing the lives of our young men in Vietnam. And un­ less there is a growth of political activism in this country, racism will not be solved." Bond said politics in the United States is not the art of the possible or the art of compromise as it has sometimes been described. “It is much more serious fviu>tma& Ulee& Stelidaty DEC. 25 - JAN. 2,1972 8 DAYS-7 NIGHTS | playamar ® Torremolinos (Malaga) Ok Spain ES. s279* ( + 10% Tax & Service) Per person-Double occupancy Single Supplement - S60.00 I Cwimy dtbaictumA, Acapulco LONDON ULSTER VACATION HOLIDAY MARCH = 1,1^72 & and exacting than that," the speaker explained. "Basi­ cally, politics boils down to who gets how much of what from whom.” Blacks and poor people must take a new and meaningful direction to determine the course of their futures, Bond said. “Politics in this nation is what puts money in our pockets, politics determines that people live in thirdclass homes in the slums, politics makes black people the last to be hired and the first to be fired, politics makes the United States first in war and last in peace,” Bond noted. Bond pointed out that those who are attempting to change society should not play this type of politics, the politics that has been played on us should not be played by us,” the speaker remarked. A constructive movement can be built by organ­ izing the dispossessed into a force for change," Bond said. It must be remembered that power concedes nothing without a demand," page / 14 $249 ( + S24.50 Tax & Service) Per person-Double occupancy THANKSGIVING 1972 $199 ( + S29.90 Tax & Service) Per person-Double occupancy • ROUNDTRIP JET • DELUXE ACCOMMODATIONS •MORE...

Now that the hour of decision is at hand, how will Colonel teams stack up this fall? With memories of last year's 3-4-1 effort still vivid on the horizon, things will move more cautiously in the football camp of Roland Schmidt. Jeff Giberson, a 5-11 junior, spar­ kled in pre-season drills and ap­ pears ready to guide the Blue and Gold to bigger and better heights. The presence of Mike Barski, a 6-1. 190-pound junior, and Dan____ Maze, _a 5-9. 170-pound freshman, ggives the Colonels good depth in the quarter­ back department All-time ground-gainer Ted Yea­ ger gives Wilkes a fine outside run­ ning threat but the bread-and-butter punch is still up in the air with the potential of Bob Ozgar and Jim Yanora untested. The halfback position of the ‘T” formation belongs to Neil Langdon, who in the past two years has gained the reputation as a fine re­ ceiver. With veterans Nate Eustis and Bill Hanbury providing the bulwark, the offensive line showed signs of mid-season form in fall drills and looks to be a big plus in the Colonel arsenal. When it comes to an ace in the hole, the Wilkes defensive align­ ment takes a back seat to no one. The forward wall has been rein­ forced with the move of Bob Ash­ ton from linebacker to defensive end. Much of 1971's excitement will be generated at linebacker where Frank Galicki, Tony Cardinale, Ron Hillard, Charles Graziano, and Rich Lack reign as the meanest and most hard-nosed unit in Wilkes history.

Teamwise, the charges of Coach Roland Schmidt have set standards for yards gained in a game, 654 versus Haverford, 1967; game rushing yardage, 473 versus Haverford, 1967; and fewest yards allowed in a season, 27.1 average, in 1965.

John Reese and his remarkable wrestlers lead the way in victories with a 74-7 (.914) record while the gridsters of Rollie Schmidt trail close behind, 40-7-1 (.843). Rounding out the Colonel slate are: baseball, 57-31 (.648); soccer, 35-27-7 (.558); golf. 36-30-1 (.545); ten­ nis, 29-31 (.484); basketball, 63-69 (.477); lacrosse, 5-9 (.357); and swimming, 11-40 (.216). The Blue and Gold football team won five consec­ utive “Northern Division” Middle Atlantic Confer­ ence titles between 1965-69, while the grapplers also brought home five MAC crowns, only missing the victory platform in 1968. Other MAC championships were garnered by the 1966 soccer squad, 1968 baseball team, and the 1971 golf squad, giving the Wilkesmen 13 separate team crowns in six years! Coach Roland Schmidt is the winningest mentor in championships won with seven (five football, one baseball, one golf), while Reese is close on his heels with five trophies.

Moran President, Alumni Association My position in two roles here has afforded me the luxury of viewing situations from two sides —- aium! Outgoing alumni presidents are supposed to say somethFng in their farewells which will have a lasting impact upon the members, but as I pluck away at th kevs of this typewriter I find that I have nothing to write that is going to make you suddenly leap out of your easy chair, sing a chorus of the "Wilkes Drm -ing Song” and immediately pledge one month’s salary for the next 20 years. I do want to say that the honor of having served as alumni president of Wilkes College is one I never expected and certainly did not deserve, but one that I will never hesitate to mention whenever I can maneu­ ver the conversation into convenient position. I must warn one and all that I write this as an alumnus. If the Alumni Association has progressed in its contribution to Wilkes during the past two years — and I sincerely feel it has — the credit belongs to Chancellor Eugene S. Farley, the college’s first presi­ dent, who continues to dream and bring to life the dreams he has had for more than three decades. It also belongs to President Francis J. Michelini, who every honest man must admit, had to follow a really tough act, but one year later has made those who selected him look better than the mystics of folklore. And behind these two advocates of an even great­ er Wilkes College is Art Hoover, who is somewhat a legend in his own right as a former student, teacher, proctor, assistant to the dean and now as college alumni affairs director. So many college development and alumni programs have succeeded here and else­ where because of the presence of a person like Art Hoover. And so many, many more have failed, much to the amazement of the best planners, because they didn't have someone like him. There is more to the team, which of course in­ cludes the entire college family, but I am writing about one from whom you will be hearing many good things — Tom Kelly, assistant in the office of devel- ni president and college administrator. I would hope that the double view has not blurred my vision as to where we are, where we should be going and what must be done. First, I would suggest that we look inward as alumni of Wilkes College. Take a good, long look and ask yourselves if you have honestly appraised your responsibilities not only to the college but to young people such as you were when you walked this campus. Has it really been easy to convince yourselves that you owe nothing to Wilkes? I have never met anyone who was ashamed to say that he was a graduate of Wilkes College, but I know from the amount of participation in campaigns and college affairs that there are literally thousands who would be embarrassed if you ask them what they had ever done for Wilkes or its young people. The future of private institutions of higher learn­ ing has never before faced a greater responsibility beneath the yoke of a heavier burden and greater threat to academic freedom than it does today. It is my personal belief that the time has come for those who in any way have even a small interest in the future existence of Wilkes and those who need it to come forth and offer even the slightest help to those who have assumed the responsibility up to now. There is little more I can say in leaving office after alerting you to the need :ed for your help and asking y°u to provide it. I can, of course, express my wish or new horizons and greater accomplishments3 to the certainly person who will succeed me. That, I most c pass along. I will close by saying that I have seen Wilkes st dents in situations where they have been up a down. I assume as alumni they pass throng same stages. The time has arrived for those who a h Mn away o.far ........... .. i...... .......... . nn,l been too long to .return and lend lend aa mUCi> ©Dass ©ff ’72 Joins Ssddo©^ [Program During their senior year the Class of 1970 made a commitment to collectively participate in the support of the College. The approach by which they chose to express their commitment was the Class Gift Fund Program. Likewise, the Class of 1971 elected to join their predecessors by creating a similar Gift Fund. This year the Senior Class (Class of 1972) has agreed to maintain what seems like the beginning of a tradi­ tion which can become extremely important to the continued development of the College. Here's how it works: 1. The Class Officers appointed a Committee whose membership agreed to contact each member of the class. 2. Each classmate was asked to consider mak­ ing a pledge of an appropriate amount to be paid annually for fifteen years. 3. The first payment was not due until one full year following commencement. 4. The monies paid to the fund will be in­ vested by the College's investment counsel. 5. At the end of the fifteen-year period the class will conduct a reunion and, in con­ sultation with College officials, decide up­ on the application of the fund in a manner which would benefit the College within the framework of its needs at that time. It is interesting to note that 38% of the Class of '70 made pledges to the gift fund while 47% of the Class of '71 made this commitment. Considering the economic uncertainty in the job market over the last two years, there is much hope that the Class Gift Fund Program will become an ongoing and increas­ ingly more important source of cultivating alumni interest and providing the college with a greater measure of support from its Alumni. During a period in which corporations, founda­ tions, and individual donors are likely to ask what Wilkes’ Alumni are doing to support their institution, the College can respond with a discussion of the Class Gift Fund Program. It is the hope of the College that the Gift Fund Program might serve to maintain and strengthen the ties between Wilkes and her Alumni — and by so do­ ing provide sustenance for the College and meaning for the Alumni. Forward Thrust Presently under construction is the new Learning Center designed to provide additional facilities for the departments of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science, Fine Arts, Physics and Psy­ chology. This structure, on the planning boards for some time, became urgently needed following the fire which destroyed Conyngham Hall. More recently, the decision to join Hahnemann Medical College in an innovative program in medical education was based, in part, on the realization that the Learning Center would provide ample facilities to house the new program. The Hahnemann-Wilkes cooperative program in Family Medicine is designed to accomplish the fol­ lowing through a coordinated program which will in­ sure the quality of medical education: 1. increase the number of physicians in the field of family medicine 2. reduce the time and cost of medical education for the student 3. improve medical care and education in North­ eastern Pennsylvania. Additionally, a two-way microwave audio-visual communication system will be constructed by Gener­ al Electric Company to provide increased communi­ cation between Wilkes and Hahnemann. This com­ munication system will be used for diagnosis and consultation and for the exchange of materials relat­ ing to medical programs. The necessary facilities on this end of the communication system will be located in the new Learning Center. The original estimate of the Learning Center was S3 million — which has been secured. However, an expansion of the original concept of the building in combination with escalating construction costs have increased the firm bids to $5,860,000. Because the need for these facilities has become more urgent within the framework of the agreement to implement the medical program, the College has decided to begin “Phase I” of the Learning Center. These plans call for the completion of the frame of the entire building as well as the furnishing of the first and second floors. It is hoped that by the time Phase I is completed (Sep­ tember 1973) the additional $2.8 million will have been secured to assure the continuation of construc­ tion under "Phase II." This second portion of devel­ opment prescribes the completion and furnishing of the third and fourth floors as well as the construction of a large lecture hall adjoining the Learning Center. The College has accepted perhaps its greatest challenge with the hope that friends and alumni will recognize and support this most promising endeavor. needed hand. page / 5 Page / 4 �ALUMNUS INTERVIEW Wilkes College, Wilkes-Barre, Penna. A WORK Name of Applicant— OF ART... Tel. No. Address Date Yes School by Art Hoover, ’55 Setting of the Interview: (location, time, others present, etc.) Director of Alumni Relations Among my wishes for a joyous holiday season i my personal wish that all of us, as alumni, will approach the significance of the season with a re­ newed spirit of concern for and faith in our Alma Mater. Because Christmas is generally considered o be a time of remembering and giving, it is an appro­ priate gesture to include Wilkes in our holiday holiday thinkthink­ ing. By way of suggestion, there are two significant means available for us to consider. As the current year ends, we are approaching die halfway mark in our Alumni Challenge Gift Cam­ paign. This campaign, as you may recall, challenges the alumni to provide S300,000 from 3,000 alumni donors between July 1,1969, and June 30,1973. Upon the attainment of this challenge, six friends of the College will contribute an additional 525,000 each for a total of S150.000. As I write this appeal to you, we are near the 50% mark in meeting the challenge, but again, renewed effort is a “must” if we are to meet the challenge. Some time ago, you received a published list, by class, of alumni contributors to the Alumni Fund and the Challenge Gift Campaign. If your name was miss­ ing from the list you still have an opportunity to rectify the omission. All gifts and pledges received by January 15 will be incorporated into the Alumni Fund Report which will be published early in 1972. Consequently, your new gift or additional gift now will add your name to your class list, increase your total class contribution, help to meet our challenge — and, most of all, renew our spirit of concern for and faith in our Alma Mater. Another significant means of support for the Col­ lege is your active involvement in the recruitment of students for admission to Wilkes. Many times in the past, Dr. Farley has communicated to all of us the importance of alumni efforts to attract qualified stu­ dents to Wilkes. Many fellow alumni have taken con­ siderable time to talk with high school seniors about the type of educational experience available at Wilkes and this alumni help has contributed sub- page / 6 No Scholarship Applicant If known, SAT scores Ratings: (Please use a scale of 1 to 6 with 1 being best pos­ V M Class Rank Academic Application submitted Catalog received Extra-curricular Overall rating Outstanding talents or accomplishments:. stantially to the continued maintenance of quality education. Now, more than ever before, our recruiting efforts assume added importance and need to be intensified. As an independent liberal arts college, tuition income (supplemented by gifts from friends and alumni) pro­ vides the basic source of support; whereas, public institutions receive their basic support from public sources. As a consequence, tuition charges at public institutions are considerably lower and students throughout the country are looking to the public in­ stitutions for their collegiate education. Fortunately, the student who prefers the independent liberal arts college may gain some help through college and state scholarship programs, loan programs, etc. Our job as alumni is to advance the cause of the independent colleges — especially Wilkes — through the recruit­ ment of prospective students. Reprinted on the facing page is a copy of *he “Alumni Interview Form” which was devised spe cifically for use by our alumni in the recruitmen process. When you interview a prospective Wi es student, complete the form and return it to the A um ni Relations Office.

Long-term, low-interest loans are available to students who demonstrate financial need under the National De­ fense Education Act of 1958. The amount of each loan is determined by the. College, based on an analysis of the Parents’ Confidential Statement, with a maximum Ioan of $1,000 per year. While the student remains in school, no repayment is made; and no interest is charged. The loan is repaid beginning one year after graduation, with 3 per cent simple interest. This program includes loan cancellation provisions for persons who enter the teaching profession, or military service. (Funded 90% by the Fed° eral Government, 10% by the College.) Total 1969-70: $181,075 State Guaranty Loan Program Most states now operate loan programs which enable full-time students to borrow as much as $1,500 per year ($750 for part-time students). The loan is made by the student’s bank or savings-and-loan association, while the State guarantees repayment to the bank if the student should fail to make timely repayment. If the student's adjusted family income is below $15,000 per year, the Federal government pays all interest plus a lender partici­ pation incentive (up to 3%) while the student remains in school and for 9 months afterward. The loan is repaid in monthly installments of at least $30, with 7 per cent in­ terest.

Ask Ellen Taggart, a former Kingston native and Wilkes College alumnus, who was recently named managing editor of Jack and Jill Magazine, one of the nation’s leading children’s periodicals. “It all started with a letter to the Curtis Publish­ ing Company in Philadelphia during my senior year at Wilkes,” related the 24-year-old Glenside resident who has moved from assistant editor to managing editor in just two years. “I had always wanted to write for a children’s magazine, and Jack and Jill was a relatively popular publishing house located near home. But as luck would have it, soon after I was appointed to the staff in January 1970, the firm transferred to Indianapolis, Indiana,” she said. The move turned out to be a blessing in disguise for Ellen as she was one of the few asked to move with the company. Shortly after arriving in Indian­ apolis, the Wilkes graduate was promoted to the posi­ tion of associate editor. “Things happened so fast and then Mrs. Melle Bell, who had served as editor for many years re­ tired,” she explained, “and I was asked to move up to her position. I naturally accepted." She traces much of her success to Wilkes College and it’s English faculty. “I received a strong English background at college and I’m extremely thankful to Dr. Philip Rizzo and many of the other instructors.” Jack and Jill magazine has a circulation of about 700,000. It is published 10 times a year and directed mainly at the 4-12 age group. Speaking on the nature of her duties, she stated, “We have five people working on the book. Most of our work is done six months in advance. The major­ ity of our manuscripts come from free lance contrib­ utors, and surprisingly, 6,000 are submitted each year.” A big part of her job centers on the tedious task of selecting the manuscripts and the scheduling of deadlines. The book has recently enlarged from 52 to 64 pages and is printed in four colors. Noting the biggest change in children’s writing, “We're not saying life is absolutely all beautiful. There are now some sad endings. We try to look at the positive side of things and not be peachy.” “We want to help kids solve their own problems. Our major goals are achieved if we can get the child to read for pleasure on their own rather than turn on the television.” The most popular subjects in demand are stories written about mystery, adventure, and science. “Children are definitely reading more than they have been. They want controversial subjects. Finally they ask a lot of questions and want to know the answers.” Another big moment in her rapid rise to success came last month when she was designated to tour the new Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida, prior to it's official opening. Details of the experience will be related in the April issue of the magazine. Probably the proudest fan of Ellen is her mother. Nan Thomas Taggert, a former teacher in the Abing­ ton High School District, near Philadelphia, and a graduate of Bucknell University. “I am very happy for Ellen. She knew’ all the time what she w’anted and went out to get it,” related the proud parent. Ellen's father is deceased. page / 9 page / 8 �The National Scene Higher education’s ‘uncertain’ future: Will students want what colleges offer? Will colleges have enough space? I backward glance at the growth of higher /\ education over the past century shows that the pattern was almost always predictable. • “ Enrollments kept rising, doubling every' 15 years or so. An ever-increasing share of the college-age population was actually going to college. New colleges kept going up. Old ones kept getting bigger. And this year, the federal government estimates, enrollments are up again—by six per cent But what of the future? Can we expect more of the same? What will higher education be like—and how big will it be—in 10, 20, or 30 years? The answers aren't that predictable anymore. Too many factors in and around higher education are changing. Never before, says the noted Car­ negie Commission on Higher Education, have the colleges been faced with a comparable situation. Amid many uncertainties, here’s w’hat the panel sees ahead: ► In the 1980's, higher education will have the unusual experience of a pause, if not an outright decline, in enrollment growth. New campus con­ struction will cease, faculty members will be re­ cruited far more slowly’, and the opportunities for reform that tend to accompany periods of expan­ sion will be reduced. There may be some qualita­ tive improvements, though, as the demands of quantity subside, and adult education may come in for some dramatic expansion. £> The end to enrollment growth in the 1980’s will be preceded by a decade of reduced growth, at a rate of perhaps 50 per cent. In the 1990’s, enrollments will rise once more, by some 30 per cent. But compare those figures with the 124per-cent increase of the past 10 years! > In the long run, higher education will find that it is growing “more nearly with society,” in­ stead of far ahead of it. The portion of the col­ lege-age population in college at any given time may well level out to about 50 per cent a year by the turn of the century. Taken together, those developments would be unprecedented for higher education, the com­ mission says in a report on New Students and New Places. But as it looks at past and current trends, the panel stirs in some ideas of its own about where the academic world should be going. It expects greater college opportunities for lowincome students and for adults to add to the en­ rollment pool. It wants to reduce the time students take to earn degrees. And it projects a shift of Page/ io enrollments to two-year colleges, along with a decline in graduate rolls. The overall result, it says, would be a net drop of about 1 million students in the total estimated for 1980 on the basis of previous trends. The panel’s revised total is 12.5 million students by 1980, with 16 million estimated for the year 2000. None of this can be forecast with great confidence, however. The panel points to these “new uncertainties”: ► As colleges continue to be hard-pressed financially, will they be able to afford “new places” for new students? ► Most jobs today don’t require a college degree. What happens when the labor market stops absorbing college graduates “at the level of training they have acquired?” ► Will students want what the colleges have to offer? The effects of the cultural revolution are a “great unknown.” ► What will happen to the birth rate, which is now showing a dramatic decline? ► In the midst of the “new technology” of tapes and computers and video-cassettes, will the campus survive as the main center of higher education? As academic leaders ponder such questions, they must also weigh proposals concerning the number, location, and size of their institutions. If they take the Carnegie Commission’s advice, they will create at least 175 new community colleges and at least 80 new “comprehensive” public fouryear colleges, mostly in urban areas, by 1980. They will not create any more Ph.D.-granting “research-type universities.” And they will not let their institutions stay too small or get too large. n In Brief: For a long time now, the country has not been sure what to do about its traditionally black colleges. Should it save them, or scrap them in the name of integration? The wealthy and in­ fluential Ford Foundation, long-time supporter of higher education generally, has made a choice. It will devote about three-fourths of its higher-edu­ cation grants over the next six years (some $100miliion) to aiding minority students and a limited number of black colleges . . . Minority enrollments are growing at a faster rate than those of the rest of the college popula­ tion—20.4 per cent to 5.7 per cent between 1968 and 1970, federal statistics indicate . . . Many private colleges arc in worse financial shape than they had forecast. A survey has found more than 100 of them approaching bankruptcy. 1971 Homecoming Brings Entertainment Reunions for Many �1971 “72 Wilkes College Basketball Team Winter Sports Season Look^ [BoiglM WRESTLING create excitement before his departure from the Wilkes scene in 1974. If early season success is any indi­ cator, the 1971-72 winter schedule of sports should be a happy one in Colonel land. Wilkes, 2-1 at writing, holds wins over Oneonta State, 32-10; and Mont­ clair State, 34-14. The setback inflicted by Buffalo, by the way, ended a 17had traced meet winning streak sircsk which _____ back to the 1969-70 season. Graduation has cut deepest into the wrestling program where John Reese, starting his nineteenth year of colle­ giate coaching, must find replacements for four-year veterans Dennis Verzera, Gerry Willetts, Ron Fritts, and Rich Ceccoli. Filling in most of the upper weights, the quartet carded a combined 142-297 mark during their stay at Wilkes. Despite an early loss to the Univer­ sity of Buffalo, the Blue .andx Gold mat. ­ men will be favored a<_ igam to cop t eir >nrir IConference nnroranro eleventh Middle Atlantic title. This year's hopes will be centered around team captain Al Zellner [158], who had a 24 dual meet string snapped at Buffalo; Jay McGinley (118), Bob Roberts (126), Art Trovei (134), and Alain Arnould (Hwt.J. All five are sea­ soned veterans. Newcomer Mike Lee, a sophomore transfer from Navy, also promises to Still remaining on the Colonel slate are meetings with Oregon State, Army, Hofstra. and East Stroudsburg, which should give Coach Reese a few more lost hairs before the year is out. BASKETBALL Excitement is also being generated by the cagers, enjoying a fine 3-0 start, as thev begin their first year under new basketball taskmaster Rodger Bearde. The new mentor has the hardwooders hopping and a fifth consecutive winning year is within reasonable thought. Wilkes has registered triumphs ver­ sus Susquehanna, 87-76; Philadelphia Pharmacy, 78-69; and Elizabethtown, 105-86. The latter win had the Wilkes faithful speechless, as Bearde’s charges came through with 62 points in the second half. Sights are still set at one of four MAC playoff berths, something which has eluded the Wilkes eagers since their entrance into the Middle Atlantic Conference in 1957. Like wrestling, spring commencement cut deep into the basketball ranks, taking four starting veterans. To close the experience gap, Coach Bearde has gone with Dave Kurosky, a 6-5 senior; Mike Bachkosky, a 6-4 junior; Roman Shahay, a 6-0 junior; Mark Cat­ erson, a 6-3 junior; and Greg O’Brien, a 6-0 junior, as his starting five. The rapid development of freshmen Clarence Ozgo, Greg Buzinski, and playmaker Steve Ference gives hint of continued victory in the months and years ahead. SWIMMING A wave of optimism also greets the arrival of the swimming year, as Coach Bob Corba ~ has assembled one of the most talented squads in school history. Middle Atlantic Conference diving champ Doug Krienke returns along with sprinter Rich Marchant. The speedy junior copped two fifths and one sixth :th place medal at the MAC confab last winter. The 1971-72 Wilkes College basketball squad is under the tutelage of first-year mentor Rodger Bearde.

Pawlush It was the return to “good times” this fall as Colonel athletic teams enjoyed some of their finest hours. After feeling the wrath of a 3-4-1 record the previous season, the football charges of Roland Schmidt turned the corner in 1971, recording a fine 6-2 showing. Wilkes soccer also got big play, as the hooters fought Elizabethtown College down to the last day for MAC championship laurels. The Colonels closed with an overall 8-4-2 tally, 7-2-1 in conference play. As expected, the cross country of team, undergoing its first season c. varsity competition, fell prey to in­ juries and seasoned opponents, and completed its baptismal year with a2'101o°- campaign occurred on Oct. 23 when freshman placekicker Terry Blaum booted a 24-yard field goal with three seconds remaining, to give the Colonels a 3-0 victory over Juniata. The Colonels finished thii ’ ' ird « the Lambert race, symbolic of e— ‘ eastern "Division III” supremacy ~ - • LaThe Schmidtmen copped previous un bert honors in 1966 and 1968 ' ­ Another ego builder was a 15-14 nod over across-Pocono-Mountainrival East Stroudsburg State Col­ lege. The Warriors had buried the Paced by the sharpshooting toe of junior forward Ed Garabedian the Wilkes soccer team put forth its best single-season effort since i96r when it compiled a 9-2 log and brought home the MAC champion­ ship. Schmidtmen, 30-0, in 1970. Passing became a prime weapon in the Wilkes arsenal as the Col­ onels struck for 1,354 yards via the airlanes. The gridsters were equally awesome on the running paths, blis­ tering the turf for 1,342 yards. Ted Yeager was the prime mover in the ground attack, scampering for an all-time season record of 952 yards on 217 carries while accumulating 13 touchdowns. Not to be overlooked by plaudits was 5-10,175-pound junior quarter­ back Jeff Giberson, who connected on 86 of 162 aerial attempts for a whopping 1,290 yards, His prime receivers Langdon [25-295 yds.), 1UP (19-216 yds.), and (15-329 yds.). The latter turn next year. were Neil George SilBill Horan two will re­ Holding down the defensive side of the ledger was the interior line­ backing duo of Frank Galicki and Tony Cardinale, who accumulated tackle totals of 179 and 148, respec­ tively. Both were bona fide post­ season honors candidates along with Yeager. Seniors making their final ap- Pearance in the Wilkes Navy Blue and Gold included: Bob Ashton (DE), Charles Graziano (LB), Kent Jones (LB), Ron Hillard (LB), Ron Fritts (DT), John Kerr (DB), Garf Jones (DS), Nate Eustis (OT), Steve Balia (OT), Lili Hanbury (OG), Neil Garabedian was nothing short of sensational, ramming home a rec­ ord total of 17 goals and 11 assists Also producing in double figures were Rich Combellack (10 goals — five assists), George Bene Hoane (11 goals, one assist), and Stellios Patsiokas (six goals-four assists). Bene Hoane, an Ivory Coast na­ tive, established a new Wilkes onegame standard, slashing the nets for five goals in an 8-1 win over Upsala. Coach Tom Rokita’s team dropped a 3-0 decision to powerful Eliza­ bethtown on the final match of the campaign, resulting in a title for the Bluejays and a runnerup placing for the Colonels.

Fielding a six-man squad, the harriers of rookie mentor George Pawlush took the lumps of inexperience, but managed wins over Leb­ anon Valley and Cheyney State. Onty setbacks to Ithaca, 41-28; and Indiana (Pa.), 13-7, prevented the Blue and Gold from attaining their fourth perfect football season in six years.

Nixon V:isits W:ilkes With $4"Million Check '—'---President Richard M. Nixon (left) pre­ sents a check for $4-million to Wilkes Col­ lege President Francis J. Michelini with a warm handshake as presidential aide Frank Carlucci (center) looks on. "Operation Snapback" efforts reaped suc­ cess with the arrival of President Richard M. Nixon on the Wilkes College campus and the presentation of a check in the amount of $4-million. President Nixon presented the check di­ rectly to President Francis J. Michelini, say­ ing, "this is one check that won't bounce. Dr. Mike." The check was only a first installment, with $6-milIion more to arrive in the near future, covering the estimated loss of $10million caused in June by the record flood­ ing of the Susquehanna River. "Operation Snapback" represents an allout effort on the part of students and col­ lege personnel who responded to a plea for "manpower and elbow grease" from Dr. Michelini in an effort to overcome what had at first appeared to be an almost fatal blow to the liberal arts institution. The future growth of the college and the efforts to keep the institution at its present high level of operation depends on financial grants from the federal agencies, alumni contributions, and other sources. "Operation Snapback" was termed a ma­ jor success when, on July 5, some 10 days after the flood, summer day and evening classes resumed. The early return was a re­ sult of the cleanup and the fact that facil­ ities above the first floors were unharmed. Phase II of "Operation Snapback" began in August when paint buckets and brushes replaced shovels and payloaders. The dorm­ itories and classroom buildings were al(continued on page 6) Fall, 1972 25th Homecoming Draws Hundreds Last month marked the celebration of Wilkes College's Silver Anniver­ sary Homecoming with a host of activities for the alumni and the under­ graduates. Highlighting the weekend's activities was the crowning of Miss Debbie Koch, a senior elementary education major from Bricktown, N. J., as Homecoming Queen at halftime activities o fthe Wilkes-Ithaca football game. Miss Koch's court consisted of Paula Cardias, Long Island; Josephine Schifano, Pittston; and Randy Wells, Lebanon, Pa, Homecoming activities first began in 1947 — the same year Wilkes was chartered as a four-year liberal arts college. Since that time, the Homecoming Weekend has con­ tinued to grow with the addition of new activities for the alumni and undergrad­ uates. This year was particularly important in that it marked an important step in the College's recovery from the SlO-million in damages resulting from the June 23 flood. At halftime activities for the football game, Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, reminded the spectators that four months ago they would have been sitting under 28 feet of Susquehanna water. At the Saturday evening Homecoming Dinner, the College delivered a special sa­ lute to the silver anniversary class of 1947. Featured spe; eaker at the event was Dr. Michelini on "V 'Wilkes College: Pre-Flood and Post-Flood." An Ecumenical Church Service in the Center for the Performing Arts drew the Dr. Francis J. Michelini doos tho honors of congratulating Miss Debbie Koch as queen of the 25th Homecoming festivities. weekend's activities to a close with a Wilkes alumnus as the principal speaker, Lt. Col. Robert L. Benson, Class of 1952, Chaplain, U. S. Air Force Academy. Wilkes Learning Center Progresses Out of the tons of mud and debris de­ posited on the Wilkes College campus fol­ lowing the record flooding of the Susque­ hanna emerged a small, though powerful ray of hope—as construction of the Wilkes Learning Center on So. River St. continued. Last June, Wilkes College was able to announce, with a great deal of pride, plans to construct a S5-million learning center. This center would represent the hopes and dreams of a small community dedicated to the ideal that through education the dreams of the future will be realized. A year of construction followed with alumni and friends of the small liberal arts college watching the workers mold their contributions into a new educational facility. Last summer also meant destruction—the demolition of five mansions that had once housed some of the most prominent fam­ ilies of the Wyoming Valley Area. Directly hit by the gushing water which breached the dike on June 23, was the frame work of the Wilkes College Learning Center. Fortunately, the damage was easily repaired. When Wilkes College President Francis J. Michelini returned to the flood ravaged campus shortly after the waters receded, (continued on page 8) �Incoming Frosh Welcomed h Post-Flood Recovery "Ask yourself what am ;? I?

It was an emotion-packed address that President Michelini delivered to the Class of 1976 as he reminded them that they will always be remembered as the freshman class that came to the campus immediately after the institution had been restored fol­ lowing the "great flood of 1972." While he had words of advice and wel­ come to pass along to the new students, President Michelini also took time to recog­ nize many in the audience who had come to Wilkes during the Summer crisis as "vol­ unteers who wanted to simply do some­ thing to help out even though you at that time weren't actually active students." Many of the returning students expressed some surprise at the condition of the cam­ pus and the buildings, stating they had ex­ pected more signs of the destruction from the Summer flood, but expressed pleasure and amazement over the accomplishments of the many volunteers who had worked throughout the Summer months putting the 58 buildings and grounds back into condi­ tion far greater than any believed possible at the end of June.

"I speak to you with humble awareness of the many who came forth when we needed you so desperately and I am grateful." Moving into the philosophical vein, Dr. Michelini stressed the important contribu­ tion the recent disaster would have on the incoming students in terms of understand­ ing and involvement. He emphasized the role of the college students in helping the community snap back after the disaster. College students pitched in to help with the flood recovery efforts, before, during and after the disaster. WILKES COLLEGE REPORT Published by The Wilkes College Public Relations Department.

He gave generously of his time and energies, and always led our campaign for funds by a generous gift He interested his friends in the the College College and and used his influence in its behalf." Dr. Farley once wrote, "it is the individ­ ual who gives substance and vitality to an institution." With the death of Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations and former commander of the United States Naval Forces in Europe, the Wilkes College com___ •• t, i .. c • . . muruty lost a long-time friend and supporter of educational ideals and the role of education in the community. When Wilkes was founded in 1933 as Bucknell Junior College, Dr. Eugene 5. Far­ ley had a dream and the determination to prove to sceptics in the Wyoming Valley Area that there was a definite need for a college and the type of education it could provide for the area. The veteran educator was determined that a college education would not continue to be limited to children of families fortunate enough to be able to afford the costs. Ad­ miral Stark was one of the few individuals who demonstrated a positive interest in the college and encouraged Dr. Farley in his endeavors to make the liberal arts institulion grow. Admiral Stark demonstrated his interest in the establishment of a permanent insti­ tution in 1937 by donating his family home at 184 South River Street to the College as a memorial to Fred M. Chase and his wife who was Admiral Stark's sister. RJ" 7Stark joined the Wilkes College card of Trustees and from 1959 to 1964 he served as Chairman of the Board.

Within a rehtivdj short The substance and vitality supplied by one man—Admiral Stark—helped Wilkes College realize a potential for increased community service and improved education. Dr. Francis J. Michelini, second president of Wilkes College stated, "I think it is fit­ ting that the people of our Community recognize the significance of the contribu­ tions of this great leader of men, who, in his most quiet and humble way, influenced the lives of so many thousands of people in our Community." Several areas on the local campus will serve as reminders for thousands of stu­ dents entering the institution of learning, telling of the vast amount of aid Admiral Stark had given to the private institution. One such reminder is the special room in the Eugene S. Farley Library, dedicated in his honor. The other is the Stark Science Hall, which the Admiral was largely re­ sponsible for creating. Admiral Stark was born in Wilkes-Barre in 1880. He graduated from the Harry Hill­ man Academy, receiving a commission as Ensign in the United States Navy a e graduating from the U. S.

"Many young people were looking for a cause to fight for, and they have found it in the Wilkes restoration program—a cause that will last for a good many years, but make us stronger in the end." A VALLEY UNITED The following letter was written by Dr. Eugene 5. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, in the aftermath of the June 23 disaster and ran as a Letter to the Editor in the August 3 edition of the New York Times. July, 1972 While memories of water, mud and devastation are still fresh maybe each of us will join in planning for the re-birth of our Valley. One hundred and fifty years ago the "Vale of Wyoming” was reputed to be one of the most beautiful spots in the East. One hundred years ago our Valley was still beautiful but mining was slowly destroying its natural beauty. Fifty years ago our Valley was noted for its labor strife and for the physical and psychological scars left by the mining industry. Fifty days ago we were struggling to create a new and more attractive Valley and we were succeeding. Slowly but surely new jobs were being created, the general economy was improving and old eye-sores were being replaced by modern, attractively landscaped buildings. And — then in a few hours we were inundated with flood waters and left with inches of mud and material damage that had to be seen to be believed. But — in the midst of this devastation neighbor helped neighbor and Civil De­ fense maintained order and provided leadership in the midst of muck, mud and devastation. In the midst of crisis we were united. Now that we are slowly recovering may we maintain and enlarge this unity. May we unite to restore the beauty of our Valley while we strive to rebuild our homes and our industries. If we possess the vision, the will, and the desire, we can, in cooperation with our neighbors, or state and federal governments, restore the best of the past. And while so doing we can create a more beautiful and wholesome environment. This is a dream but America was built by dreamers who were also doers and our Valley was being rebuilt by men and women of vision who also were doers. Can we not work to sustain this dream? There are many agencies at work to provide the instruments for new growth. Let us work with them to build a new and better economy and a more beautiful community. It can be done if we envision it and possess the will to do it. EUGENE S. FARLEY, President Emeritus Alumni Fund Appeal Set By Wilkes College A campaign involving approximately 8,600 Wilkes College alumni—3,000 living in Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties—in the task of raising funds to help offset the $10-million in flood damages and loss was begun last month. In a special appeal to the alumni by letter and illustrated newsletter, Alumni President Reese Jones told the former Wilkes stu­ dents that "never before in the history of our college has your full support been more urgently needed than it is now." Jones, who is president of the First Valley Bank of Bethlehem gave a complete ap­ praisal of the damages to the alumni, plac­ ing emphasis on four sites: 1. The Eugene Shedden Farley Library: Over 50,000 volumes (half of the total col­ lection) lost—plus special collections, all basement furniture, shelving, carrels, car­ peting and much first floor shelving as well. Estimated loss—$1,250,000. 2. Stark Hall: Loss of laboratory and sci­ entific equipment alone valued at $500,000. Total estimated loss--$l,500,000. 3. Center for the Performing Arts and the New Music Building: Instruments and equipment loss in the tens of thousands of dollars. In the theater itself, water level covered all but the lop six rows of seats. Estimated loss—$1,750,000, 4. Gymnasium: Entire gym floor washed out and buckled into five-foot waves. Esti­ mated loss $125,000. Jones, who only three months ago as­ sumed the two-year post as national pres­ ident, called upon his colleagues to "give all the support that you possibly can to aid our Wilkes College 'Operation Snapback'." International Club Offers Understanding Another person's country can be a very lonely place unless someone offers the hand of friendship and understanding. That, in essence, is what the International Club of Wilkes-Barre is attempting to do by its existence and efforts on the local campus. Mary Cheung, ar" native of Hong Kong and president of the International Club, determined to work with her five-member executive council to make life on the cam­ pus and in this country more enjoyably familiar to the foreign student. The charming resident assistant has a humble but convincing way of making someone listen when she expresses her con­ cern for the plight of the foreign student— especially during their first years in this country. Finding a solution to the problems facing the foreign students is one of the key points of interest that Mary is counting on to put new life into the three-year old In­ ternational Club. Assisting with the overall revitalization of the organization is Assistant Dean Ed­ ward Baltrukitis, who had experience on the college level with International Club Organizations on other campuses. �homecoming It was a unique occasion on the lawn of Weckosser Hall on Friday afternoon on the Wilkes College campus as tho presidents of tho classes of 1947 and 1973 met for the first time and bridged a 25-yoar span of Alumni Association homecomings.

This became evident with the announce­ ment by Wilkes President Francis J. Michel­ ini, who revealed that the $10-million in damages to the college and the disruption of classes for slightly more than a week did not seriously hamper the program. Dr. Donald W. Tappa, dean of academic affairs, received the initial report on the results of the campus flooding and damage to property as it related to student attend­ ance when classes resumed on July 5. Mobile Homes On Campus Western Electric Grant Presented to Wilkes The Western Electric Fund presented con­ tributions of $50,000 to Wilkes College and $5,000 to King's College to assist the two local institutions in restoring their cam­ puses following the massive damage done by the recent flood. Wilkes President Michelini privately ex­ pressed his appreciation for what he termed "a most welcome and timely financial con­ tribution that will help immensely in our battle to overcome the tremendous $10million in damages inflicted upon our college by the flood." King's President Kilburn joined in cxpressing appreciation on behalf of the in­ stitution he heads for the generous gesture by Western Electric Corporation and its Foundation. it Shown during tho prosontatlon luncheon hold at tho Troadwoy Motor Inn am, loft to right: Dr. Francln J.

Frank Carlucci, President Nixon's special representative in the Wilkes-Barre area to coordinate the federal flood recovery oper­ ation, met with Dr. Michelini and toured the campus over the summer. Carlucci said, "the damages to private institutions were quite extensive." There were 41 private institutions in the area hit by the flood. The American Enterprise Institute is a publicly supported, non-partisan research and educational organization located in Washington, D. C. It was established in 1943 to assist the nation's legislators and educational leaders by providing factual analyses of important national policy issues. Major issues of national significance are discussed through legislative and special analyses, long-range studies, regional de­ bates, seminars and symposia. AEI also publishes basic handbooks for use in both the National high school and national in­ tercollegiate debates. <r * it it KAREN SAKADU3KI 72 wn recently married to Richard Daywood it <1 it NANCY HAWK MERRYMAN '69 hr. h ’:. 13 month asJignnwnt with th* Mannomte Centr-d Com mittee in Kenya 5h« will be teaching Engl.sh m HaransbM School In the Gorhsa ara> it it it Harry Keller, a 1970 graduate of Wilke.

Raspen and Keller have been working together throughout the flood emergency to aid students affected by the disaster in obtaining greater financial assistance. Students from families who have suf­ fered losses from the recent flood have been notified by the Wilkes College Finan­ cial Aid Office that both state and federal attention is being given to new avenues of greater assistance. Raspen said, "Both state and federal sources of student aid funds were ap­ proached. We received their assurances that they would do everything in their power to assist students and families who suf­ fered flood losses." ☆ ☆ JOSEPH MENTYKA 72 WJ5 ☆ it if it it it MARGARET M.

Alumni Rolls Increased by 600 A bit of the Watergate controversy touched the Wilkes College campus on June 3 when Senator Ervin (D-NC), chairman of the senate committee investigating the highly publicized break-in, delivered the main address at the 26th Annual Commencement Exercises at Ralston Field. The senator built his entire address around the safeguarding of freedom as he charged that the federal government is also discouraging people from their "First Amendment rights to the freedom of association and to peaceably assemble and petition government for redress of grievances/' One of the highlights of the program was the conferring of two honorary doctorates, Doctor of Humane Letters, to Senator Ervin and to former Wyoming Valley flood coordinator, Frank C. Carlucci, new Under Secretary of the Department of Health, Edu­ cation and Welfare (HEW). Earlier in the day, the Rev. Dr. Jule Ayers, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Wilkes-Barre, offered the Baccalaureate address to over 600 members of the 1973 graduating class. Dr. Ayers based his message on "Seeing the Invisible." Among the special tributes paid to distinguished members of the class was the "Outstanding Graduate of the Year" award, pre­ sented by Reese D. Jones '56, president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association. For the first time the award was given to three people — Michael J. Barski, past president of the Student Government; Joel Fischman, president of the Senior Class, and Robert Linaberry, outstanding scholar-athlete. Graduation ceremonies officially concluded with an informal open house at the Hotel Sterling. The event is sponsored annually by the Alumni Association for the new graduates. For the first time in history the "Outstanding Graduate of the Year" award was divided between three distinguished students.

Dr. Govinda Chandra Dev Recent letters from the University of Dacca, Bangladesh, have indicated that the library at the University of Dacca will be re­ built in memory of Dr. Govinda Chandra Dev. Dr. Dev, one of the leading scholars of East Pakistan, served as a Fulbright Exchange professor at the college during the 1966-67 school year. He was a victim of the countries civil uprising in 1971.

In JUNE, 1973, Wilkes College is on its way to emerging from that devastation as an even stronger institution — although much remains to be accomplished to achieve complete rehabilitation of the College. During the devastation, all 58 campus buildings were inundated with total damage estimated in excess of $15 million. L—- During the summer, the initial and perhaps most difficult restoration was accomplished by National Guardsmen and crews of volunteers who included faculty, students, parents, and friends. To the astonishment of many, the College struggled through the summer, completing classes in the upper floors of its buildings, and began the academic year on September 25 in campus facilities which were considered "operational." Throughout the year, the restoration process has continued. Construction crews have replaced the Guardsmen and the volunteers, and more thorough restoration has continued where the initial cleanup concluded. �Recognizing the tremendous needs of the community, the College sought to of attention. The devastation and recovery of Wilkes is symbolic provide increased services for flood victims. A grant of $50,000 from the Haas Community Fund enabled the College to establish the Wilkes Community Effort. WCE, as it is called, has provided many services for flood victims which include: of the destruction and rehabilitation of the communities of ^providing student labor for cleanup and Throughout the year, the College has been a focal point Wyoming Valley. Programs of federal support were launched to assist not only the College but also the families and communities which experienced severe losses. Consequently, many political dignitaries visited the area during the year and invariably visited the campus to view the recovery process and, occasionally, to hold press conferences. home-repair work for elderly or needy flood victims; ^arranging transportation of individuals from their temporary post-flood homes in trailer parks to the polls on Election Day and to cultural and athletic events at Wilkes throughout the year; ^providing educational workshops and recreational activities for flood victims. �FEDERAL SUPPORT Support from many sources has financed the restoration of the College to this point. The bulk of the cost has been covered by federal funds released through the amendment to the Disaster Relief Act. The College has received and spent several million dollars of federal funds for documented flood repairs. As repairs and replacement continue, so do negotiations with federal officials concerning the expenditure of the funds. Since each policy decision sets a precedent for this, the first such application of the law, decision-making is accomplished slowly and with great care. PRIVATE SUPPORT Areas of recovery which cannot be federally funded have been covered, in part, by support from corporations, foundations, friends, and alumni. Last year, the College determined a need to raise at least $2 million to supplement federal support. The College has received pledges of $1,618,730.37 from private sources.. . �S’ d § < 3 AREAS OF NEED NOT COVERED BY FEDERAL FUNDS 1.

The toil and faith and support of many individuals helped to make this recovery possible. But much remains to be accomplished as the College approaches the last stages of recovery.

Tf all began in the fall of 1960 when '64 the eldest son of Mr. and Andrew Gubanich, 10 Galicia p^ve, Phoenixville, officially enrolled at the college. Brother Larry '65 matriculated the next autumn and then Drew'71 and Guy '73 followed to make the Guban­ ich family affair complete. Man responsible for setting the quartet in motion was Charles Jackson, a 1951 alumnus, and a teacher and coach at Phoenixville High School. Through the efforts of Jackson sev­ eral other Wilkes students including Ted Travis-Bey '65, Dick Morgan '64, and Russ Jenkins '67 also found their way to the Wilkes-Barre campus. Not only did all four Gubanich sons attend Wilkes College but each made a valuable contribution to campus life. xleGe Wilkes-Barre,Tc lyMnia 18703 Alan is currently on the faculty of the University of Nevada at Reno.

The Blue and Gold raise the curtain on their 27th varsity season on Sept. 22, entertaining Susquehanna University at Ralston Field. l>^t- ? moments this fall. Supercharged by an explosive offensive backfield, the Wilkes GRIDDERS return their most potential since the late 1960's when the Colonels went rampant over the east, winning 37 of 40 outings. Least person affected by the wave of excitement is Colonel taskmaster, Roland Schmidt who observed, "We have the talent but in the end it is going to take hard work, desire, and the right Kings Point on November 17. First task for Schmidt in pre-season drills will be finding J a Leadreplacement for record breaking field general Jeff Giberson. Lac ­ ing candidates are sophomores Chuck Suppon, more noted in the running game, and Greg Snyder, a rifle-armed passer. Backfield is seasoned with the return of last fall's two leading ball toters — sophomore Fred Lohman and junior Andrew Check. The pair rushed for 495 and 435 yards respectively last annum. Joining the duo are newcomers, junior John Baron, a transfer from Temple; and sophomores Rodney Smith and Charlie Cala­ brese. Wilkes is deep in pass receiving with junior Bill Horan, 35 re­ ceptions, 425 yards; and senior John Collins, 25 receptions, 303 yards; lighting the way. Only loss in the offensive line was tackle John Holland. This years unit should stack up with All-MAC senior co-captain Rich Lorenzen, seniors Tom Boshinski and Tom Panetta, juniors Bob Mazzitelli and Bill Metzger, and sophomore Joe Dettmore. Defensive line also rales a big plus with senior co-captain Jeff Grandinetti anchoring a beefy and experienced "front four" of senior Joe Pavill and Steve Adamchak plus junior John Van Gorder. Despite the loss of All-East, All-State Frank Galicki, the line­ backing corps will be more than respectable with seniors Craig Deacon and Rich Lack, junior Terry Blaum, and sophomores Steve Leskiw and Don Kulick providing the saavy. Major questionmark may be in the defensive secondary where the Colonels need a big man to team up with junior Alan Barrett and sophomore Fred Marianacci. Any of the following areas could be significantly bolstered with the rapid development of outstanding incoming freshmen athletes. Colonels start the year with a 106-101-6 all-time record. SOCCER enters its 25th season at the college and Colonel coach Tom Rokita would like nothing better than a reversal of last falls 4-8-1 log. After an 8-4-2 effort in 1971, Rokita's troops took a nosedive last year as the Wilkes offense became silent and the loss of goalie Chip Eaton became apparent. A seasoned defense plus the rapid development of junior for­ ward Ray Grysko could make the Blue and Gold contenders. Improvement can also be expected in the CROSS COUNTRY team as the Colonel harriers begin their third campaign of varsity competition. Coach George Pawlush has all but one lettermen back from last years squad which went 1-11. Key man in Pawlush's camp is senior co-captain Jere Woods, who registered two firsts and three seconds before becoming lame in late season. Best output by any team last fall was the 4-3-1 showing of the WOMEN'S FIELD HOCKEY squad. Coach Gay Meyers has per­ formed wonders with the Colonelettes after previous mediocre seasons.

The same bit of mini-philosophy applies to a battle that the Wilkes College Alumni Association is going through now under the direction of Atty. Jeffry H. Gallet '64, chair­ man of the annual Alumni Fund Campaign. would have been forced to close its doors without the support of Government agencies, private foundations and former students. "But the doors are open and they will re­ main open if we do something about it. What This year's campaign is quite different in­ asmuch as there is a "challenge gift" of $150,000 riding on the outcome of the drive which ends on June 30. Under the provisions of an agreement made a few years back, an anonymous donor agreed to give Wilkes College $150,000 if the alumni would contribute $300,000. ■< Since the offer was made in 1970, alumni have contributed $235,000 — leaving a neces­ sary balance of $65,000 to be attained by a June 30 deadline. Reese Jones Reese D. Jones, national president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, was one of several prominent individuals named to the Wilkes College Board of Trustees at the year-end special meeting of the institution's governing body held in May at Weckesser Hall. Jones, a 1956 graduate of Wilkes, is cur­ rently president of the First Valley Bank, with regional offices throughout the Wyom­ ing Valley. He resides with his wife, the former Anne Swartwood, and their two children, Abby, 11, and Scott, 10, at 704 Pinetop Drive, Beth­ lehem. Jones is also director of the Philadel­ phia United Life Insurance Co., and received a Master's Degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania. Gallet, who is a prominent New York law­ yer and was one of the most active students in the history of Wilkes during his college days, has the difficult task of pulling together alumni who will be able to assist him in meeting this June 30 deadline. In a letter to the nearly 9,000 alumni, Gallet wrote: "We have an outright gift of $150,000 for Wilkes College if our alumni can come up with $65,000 by June 30,1973. Jeffry H. Gallet we can do right now is raise $65,000 by June 30. Every bit helps. Give what you can . . . $10 to $10,000. June 30 is almost here. . , "The $150,000 gift from anonymous do­ nors will go to Wilkes if our alumni have raised $300,000 within the four-year period ending June 30th. This campaign by the Alumni Associa­ tion is run independently of the annual Wilkes College community fund campaign, which was concluded several weeks ago with the raising of some $257,000. "Contributions from concerned and gen­ erous Wilkes Alumni now total $235,000, leaving the sum of $65,000 still to be met. This is within our grasp and that is exciting. Add to this the knowledge that government experts calculate that the college suffered a staggering loss of almost $17-million in flood damage, a nearly fatal blow. The College At the same time, it was pointed out by Thomas F. Kelly, director of development, that the success of the community campaign in no way lessens the need for the alwaysimportant financial support of alumni, who have been a key link in the college's con­ tinual growth and development as a leading private institution of higher learning. �By Thomas F.

Michelini. Following the initial disclosure of the groups, Director of Development Thomas F. Kelly identified and defined them for some 60 division leaders and team captains. The six segments of the Wilkes College As­ sociates will be known as the "John Wilkes Club," the "Gene Farley Club," "Friends of Wilkes," the "Arnaud C. Marts Society," the "Admiral Harold R. Stark Society," and the "Gilbert S. McClintock Society." Kelly, in emphasizing the importance of these clubs and societies to the college, told the campaign leaders that the idea for the formation of the "Wilkes College Associ­ ates" was planned approximately a year ago, but because of the interruption in many such plans by the June flood it was impossible to implement until this year's campaign. In a statement contained in a brochure, passed out to campaign leaders after Presi­ dent Michelini spoke, the founding of "Wilkes College Associates" was described in this way: "Wilkes College, as is true of every inde­ pendent college, depends upon the support of friends. Without the generosity of indi­ viduals, foundations and business, Wilkes cannot provide the quality of education or maintain the public services to which it is committed. "As a means of showing appreciation for the generosity of friends, Wilkes has estab­ lished the 'Wilkes College Associates'. All contributing friends are included in the As­ sociates but three clubs and three societies have been formed to give recognition for special services. These clubs and societies bear the names of men whose names have been associated with Wilkes College during its formative years." The clubs and societies are: The John Wilkes Club —Friends giving $1,000 or more in any year become members. The club was named for John Wilkes, for whom the City and the College were named. He was Lord Mayor of London and a mem­ ber of the British Parliament during the American Revolution. Members of the club will receive an appropriate expression of ap­ preciation and will be guests of the College at specific affairs throughout the year. The Gene Farley Club — Friends giving $100 to $999 in any year become members.

Kelly, college director of development; William Umphred, vice chairman of the campaign and an alumnus of the college; and Charles Epstein, chairman of this year’s drive. The 1973 Wilkes College fund drive closed on a successful note recently as campaign chairman Charles Epstein announced to a gathering of 150 workers that the effort had realized its goal of $250,000. It was the most successful drive ever conducted by the college and brought to a culmination four weeks of solicitation by over 250 volunteers. Haskins & Sells Inc. Presents Flood Check With 265 cards still outstanding, a record total of $257,147 was reported to the gath­ ering in the Crystal Ballroom of the Hotel Sterling. A check for a substantial sum has been presented to the Eugene Shedden Farley Li­ brary at Wilkes College for flood recovery by the Wilkes-Barre and New York offices of Haskins & Sells, certified public accountants, and the Haskins & Sells Foundation, Inc. Present at the recent presentation in Weckesser Hall on the Wilkes College cam­ pus were Dr. Robert Werner, chairman of the college's Commerce and Finance Depart­ ment; President Francis J. Michelini who ac­ cepted the check from John McHale, princi­ pal, Haskins & Sells; Michael Worth, assis­ tant to the president at Wilkes; Thomas F. Kelly, college director of development; Ed­ ward Ceol, principal, Haskins <Se Sells; and Robert Cavalari, senior accountant with the firm and a 1968 graduate of Wilkes College. In presenting the check, Haskins & Sells wrote: "We at Haskins & Sells are pleased to be of assistance to you and extend our hope that Wilkes College will recover from the disaster to achieve even greater success in its academic program in the future." Although the actual drive has been com­ pleted, a final report will not be given until the remaining cards have been covered. The principal speaker at the luncheon was Dr. Francis J. Michelini, president of Wilkes College, who expressed the heartfelt thanks of the college to the many volunteers. He pointed to the existence of the college as "a fundamental service toward the growth of a community." "We are living in an exciting era," he said, "and the Liberal Arts program is pre­ paring the student to intelligently handle information and understand people." "The understanding of people is the most important product of higher education, but the least susceptible to evaluation," Dr. Michelini noted. Director of Development Thomas Kelly called on division leaders for their reports and each gave an accounting of his unit. �.

FRANCIS J. MICHELINI President �INTRODUCTION The College was founded upon the belief that the human misery of economic denr which then gripped the region need not be perpetual, but that men and communiX5'0" STUDENTS be captains of their own fate if they are willing to act boldly and wisely to improve th and circumstances. The translation of this belief into action is reflected in the progra^ — Wilkes College Bulletin reviewed in this report, all of which represent "new paths" and all of which are direc/d toward the alleviation of human ills — in the world, in our nation, and in our comrnunT It is appropriate that Wilkes College be sensitive to human miseries in a community wl/' misery has been such a frequent and so recent a visitor. "Education is not a right or a privilege but an opportunity that carries with it obligations prescribed by the College and responsibilities shared with the student." Enrollment ere Commitment to constructive action stands at the heart of Wilkes College today and provid a link with our historic past. The quotations which head each section of this report have b largely drawn from official College literature, such as the Bulletin and the Faculty Handbook They represent the thoughts which have comprised the philosophical basis upon which°° our College has been built and upon which it continues to stand. Their inclusion in Despite the fact that an estimated 800 of our students resided in the area affected by the June, 1972 flood, full-time enrollment in September, 1972, fell to only 2479 from the 1971 level of 2575. In view of the tremendous losses suffered by many of our students' families in the disaster, we regard this result as evidence of our students' courage and determination to continue their education. This determination was evident during the summer of 1972 when over 90% of our summer students returned when classes were resumed within two weeks following the receding of the floodwater. However, we must not be blinded to the difficult realities faced by private higher education in the 1970's. It is a fact of life for all such institutions that substantial enrollment gains in the next decade are exceedingly unlikely. The success of Wilkes College and all of private higher education in the face of a declining college-age population and increasing competition from public institutions will depend upon our ability to: (1) improve efficiency of operation so as to minimize operating costs and hence minimize the gap between tuition charges at private and public institutions; (2) maintain a program of financial aid which meets the needs of students of limited means; (3) maintain and improve the quality of instruction and curriculum so that the student can perceive the advantages that make a private, liberal arts education worth the sacrifices necessary to obtain it. this report signifies the continuity of our philosophy and the unchanging nature of our fundamental principles. But with continuity in principle we must combine constant change in the ways we seek to further those principles and achieve our ends. The pages which follow present several new paths along which we are embarking in a "constant renewal of strength" and in search of "progress." While progress can be less comfortable than stagnation, it can also be exciting. Excitement will outweigh discomfort if we approach change armed with a thorough understanding of where we have been. We must, therefore, look to the past as well as the future. We must recall that this College, founded in depression, has survived wars, fires and floods in the past, and has emerged stronger from each ordeal. We must The balance of this report will discuss our actions in all of these areas — the effect of the new Learning Center upon instructional efficiency, the search for additional sources of student support, and the efforts of the Faculty and the Academic Dean to improve both the efficiency and quality of instruction and the curriculum. believe that as College and community emerge from this latest and most severe of all catastrophes, an opportunity exists for both to rebuild for an even better future. And beyond believing, we must work together to make this future a reality — we must work together in seeking new paths, in a constant renewal of strength, and in a constant renewal of our commitment to quality, character, and decency. Student Freedoms and Responsibilities This report looks to the past and to the future, but most of all it looks to you — the faculty, students, alumni, trustees, and friends of Wilkes College. The experiences of the recent past have taught us that far more than bricks and mortar, it is you who are Wilkes College, and it is you upon whom its future will primarily depend. £ Francis J. Michelini The efforts of our students following Tropical Storm Agnes and its devastating effects on our College demonstrated the degree to which so many of them regard Wilkes as truly "their" College. It also demonstrated the strength of character and sense of commitment present in our student body. While indeed heartening, the discovery of such characteristics should give us no surprise, for the College has always attempted to provide its students with a sense of attachment to and involvement in "their" College, while adopting policies designed to grant them the freedom and responsibility for their own conduct which leads to the development of character. We are mindful of the words of John Stuart Mill that "before you can make men doctors and lawyers, you must first make them men." Our faith in the ability of our students to grow through the simultaneous acceptance of freedom and responsibility has been proven sound. The Resident Assistant (R.A.) System adopted in our women's residence halls for the first time in the fall of 1971, replacing the "housemother" system, has proven most successful. It was the success of the R.A. system which led the Administration in 1971-72 to extend the visitation privileges already in January, 1973 2 3 �existence in the men's residence halls to the women's dormitories and operation of the system throughout the College. In the same spirit the Ad e*tenci the moved in the fall of 1972 to remove the directive that College personn l"1"1■■^trativer '5' on alcoholic beverages; therefore, the Council reaffirmed its judgment^ 01051 responsibilities, such as compliance with the law and with the dictates of 6ntrUst directly to the students. ° pr°Per behavior With the granting of certain freedoms, the students have been asked to responsibilities.

Student involvement in the affairs of the Coil TJe8e faculty Was broadened in December, 1971, when the faculty elected to invite non-voting student representatives to regular faculty meetings. 1969 1970 1971 1972 The Administration of Wilkes College has never responded unthinkingly to th of students on campuses across the country. Our actions have always bee dVk8'"8 role consistent with a coherent philosophy regarding the development of our stud ' and responsible citizens of a free society.

In this regard, the future of our Col|ePB aooears most promising. Our faculty has continued to grow professionally through its ow graduate study, writing, research, and community service, representing achievements too numerous to list individually in this report, while retaming for the function of teaching its rightful first priority. The growing professionalism and dedication to be found among the Wilkes College faculty is exemplified by the recent establishment of three new faculty committees. y A significant step toward increasing the effectiveness of teaching at Wilkes College was the Committee on establishment by the faculty in the Fall of 1971 of a Committee on Teacher Recognition and Teacher Recognition Effectiveness to "determine and administer techniques for evaluating and improving and Effectiveness teacher effectiveness." The Committee consists of six faculty members and three students. The establishment of the Committee on Teacher Recognition and Effectiveness is significant in that it was initiated by and is operated by the faculty. This Committee reflects the commitment of our faculty to quality education, and through its inclusion of student members, the committee embodies the philosophy of the College as expressed in the Bulletin, that "as student and teacher engage in the experience of creative thinking, the heritage of learning becomes the responsibility of everyone." Tenure Policy Committee Faculty Policy Committee In July, 1972, an ad hoc faculty committee was appointed to discuss the institution of tenure at Wilkes College and to make recommendations concerning appropriate policies for the future. At Wilkes, as at other colleges and universities, there is a need to evaluate tenure polity in light of its relationship to current realities. It is significant that at Wilkes the faculty has undertaken responsibility for this important examination. In the Spring of 1972, the faculty established a new committee to "deal with a broad range of faculty concerns" and to "concern itself with faculty policy matters not specifically delegated to any other faculty committee." The Faculty Policy Committee will provide the Administration with the responsible input of faculty wisdom and vision which must precede the important decisions faced by institutions of higher education in the coming decades. The continuing involvement of the faculty in consideration of the challenging questions which face us is our best assurance that critical decisions will reflect the collective judgment of the College community and will reflect a shared responsibility for the future of our institution.

Wilkes College is growing and developing and its curriculum reflects a concern with the needs and challenges of our time. Allied Health Services Recognizing the growing crisis represented by the critical shortage of trained health manpower in our community, where in 1971, prior to the flood, over 50% of the physicians were over 56 years of age, the College moved decisively in 1971 and 1972 to develop its * programs in the area of allied health sciences. The June, 1972 flood destroyed the offices of many local physicians, a number of whom have elected not to reestablish practice. Hence an already serious situation is about to become worse and our programs designed to increase the supply of health care professionals have assumed an even greater importance in this post-disaster period. One aspect of the College's thrust in the area of health sciences is development of a B.S. degree program in nursing, which commenced in September, 1972 with federal funding. Another significant program which commenced in September, 1972, also federally funded, is the six-year Wilkes-Hahnemann cooperative program in family medicine. This revolutionary program entails an integrated curriculum utilizing the facilities of Wilkes College, Hahnemann Medical College, and Wilkes-Barre area hospitals. The student completing the program will receive, at the end of six years, a B.S. degree from Wilkes College and an M.D. degree from Hahnemann. Receipt of these degrees may be followed by a residency in family medicine in Wilkes-Barre hospitals under the tutelage of practicing physicians. This mode of education is designed to encourage the young physician's interest in family medicine and a practice in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The program has received national attention and has been well-received by federal officials as evidenced by program sponsorship from the National Institutes of Health. Also related to the health field is a new program proposed by the Department of Biology in 1971 and endorsed by the faculty, to offer a 5-year B.S.-M.S. program, providing another opportunity to students interested in the life sciences/health area. Engineering Environmental Science In June, 1973, the first students to complete our four-year engineering programs in electronics and materials engineering will receive their degrees. The engineering department was among those severely damaged by the flood, but has "snapped back" to enable the fourth year of these programs to be completed. Programs in engineering will continue to develop in recognition of the need for trained manpower in a growing, technological society. Future development of these programs is, of course, closely linked to completion of the Learning Center, now under construction. • > one of man's The restoration and preservation of our natural environment promises to be most significant undertakings in the last third of this centurry.

To meet these needs the College established programs in environmental sc le some years ago, before the current concern with the environment had emerged. The 'enC<:e logical extension of these earlier efforts was the establishment in October, 1972 of a Department of Environmental Science. The possible future development of a degree pro in this field offers a significant opportunity to our students and addresses itself directly fo3"1 an area of concern which will determine the future survival of our society and our species Drama and Theater Arts It has long been the philosophy of Wilkes College that education must reach the spirit as w as the mind, and that it requires cultural growth as well as the development of technical 6 skills. To promote such cultural growth our programs in the area of drama and theater arts have been expanded over the past few years and in January, 1972 the faculty approved the offering of a B.A. degree in English with a major concentration in Drama and Theater Arts. It is hoped that this program will enable us to make full use of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts and to attract students from all areas of the country interested in this type of program and attracted by our superb facilities and faculty. Air Force R.O.T.C. After several years of exploration and consideration, Wilkes College was selected in January, 1972 to be the location of a new Air Force R.O.T.C. unit. A Department of Aerospace Studies was established and this program commenced in September, 1972. This voluntary program makes available to our students another career opportunity and will contribute to the input of civilian-trained officers into the nation's military, a tradition of long-standing in our free society. Graduate Programs The College has long recognized the importance of opportunities for graduate training to the progress of Northeastern Pennsylvania. With this recognition we have continued to develop our graduate programs in the areas of business administration, biology, chemistry, education, English, and physics. As our region continues to rebuild and grow following the recent disaster we will continue to serve the needs of local firms, educational institutions, and individuals for graduate education. WCLH-FM The establishment in 1971 of a student-operated campus radio station, WCLH-FM, offers yet another opportunity for our students to gain extra-curricular experience in a field of growing career opportunity, communications and broadcasting. In addition, this educational station provides another source of cultural enrichment to the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Future development of academic programs in the area of communications remains a real possibility, toward which the establishment of WCLH is an important step. In a time of trial many independent colleges have enacted a program of retrenchment, often eliminating programs and sometimes generally limiting the opportunities available to students. We at Wilkes also feel the need for economy, particularly in the aftermath of flood destruction, but we recognize that the key to continued progress for independent colleges must lie not in the narrowing of our horizons but in the quality and imagination which we bring to the design of our curriculum. As reflected in the programs discussed above, the curriculum at Wilkes College is growing and changing. In a time of economic and social change the skills and strengths demanded of educated people are constantly shifting, and the role of educational institutions must change to keep pace with changing needs. Wilkes College can do no less than meet this exciting challenge. io �________ ~ '.. "That the College could make such significant progress in so short a time is a genuine tribute to its legion of friends - alumni, faculty, parents, and Wilkes-Barre citizens who have believed in its mission and supported it loyally. In essence, the Wilkes record is their record." — To Maintain the Forward Thrust, 1968 Following the disaster of June, 1972, the Development Office and the Alumni Office have been engaged in a concentrated campaign to raise the funds which will be needed to supplement the laboratory, and lecture hall facilities, the Trustees voted in October, 1972, to authorize a review of the resources required for completion of Phase II of the Learning Center, which includes completion of the third and fourth floor interiors and construction of an adjacent lecture hall. This facility is needed availability of this facility, designed for maximum program quality and economy of instruction m The need for additional student aid funds, cited Gulf Oil Corporation Student Loan Fund to be established at Wilkes College with annual grants of Although the activities of the Development and Alumni Offices have been particularly intense in this Act for restoration of the campus and replacement beyond the traditional approaches to fund-raising to secure new friends for the College and to maintain the interest and confidence of our supporters. story.

Drawing our strength from the community, we have always recognized our responsibility to contribute to the growth and progress of the region. Our academic programs have been tailored to the needs of local industry and local educational institutions, and our many programs of service to the community and local industry have been directed to the specific needs of local people. Never has this bond between college and community been stronger or closer than today. Thus, in ways visible and in many ways unseen, the future of Wilkes College is intertwined with that of this region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our goal in the months and years ahead will be to continue to build upon this cooperative relationship between College and community and to work to solve our mutual problems so that the quality of life may become better for us all. The Wilkes College Institute of Regional Affairs (IRA) has a long history of service and a solid record of accomplishment under the leadership of the late Dr. Hugo V. Mailey. The appointment of Andrew Shaw- in 1971 to succeed Dr. Mailey assures the continuation of this outstanding record, which has placed the IRA in a position of high regard throughout the region and state. In the aftermath of the recent disaster, the IRA's activities have been expanded and it is working closely with the Community Flood Recovery Task Force and local officials to establish a strong foundation of local government upon which the region's recovery' can be built. administration "The Administration is primarily an instrument for coordinating the energies of all and for assuring attainment of the finest possible results in all departments." — Faculty Handbook, 1971 The Administration of a college faces a diverse constituency of students, faculty, trustees, governmental agencies and officials, and the public. Success in meeting the concerns of these diverse segments of society can only be achieved through the skillful coordination of efforts by trained, dedicated professionals, who are possessed of diverse backgrounds, skills, and interests. Then when we choose as our goals the immeasurable qualities of character, wisdom, and understanding, the function of academic administration becomes an unequalled challenge in which the ideal practitioner must be philosopher, statesman, and mystic. The Administration of Wilkes College has attempted to serve its diverse constituency and provide needed strength while holding administrative expenditures to a minimum, thus freeing resources for the all-important task of education. In October, 1972, the College was awarded a grant from the Haas Community Fund to support a program of service to area flood victims, now known as the Wilkes Community Effort. This program is designed to bring the resources of the College directly to the residents of the emergency mobile home parks and to other flood victims. It will utilize the talents of faculty, administration and students in a people-oriented effort which will complement the programs of the IRA, the Flood Recovery Task Force, and federal, state and local governmental agencies. However, formal programs of community service comprise but a part of the College's role in the community. Less visible, but most significant, is the position of Wilkes College as a major local employer and a significant component of the local economy. Between 1963 and 1968 the College spent over $6.5-million for new construction, by local contractors with local labor. Currently under construction by local construction personnel is our Learning Center, with an estimated cost in excess of $5-million. Wilkes College itself has operating expenditures exceeding $6-million per year and most of the nearly $3-million paid in wages to faculty and staff is spent in the local economy. In addition, during 1970-71 the College paid $108,660 in wages to students under its work-study program and awarded $713,645 in scholarships and loans, much of it to local students. In 1972 these figures were considerably higher. A recent study revealed that full-time students at Wilkes spent approximately $1,912,500 in local businesses during a typical academic year, and the many parents and friends who visit the College from outside the area spend additional tens of thousands of dollars in the local economy each year. The economic activity generated by Wilkes College clearly represents jobs and income for local households and places the College in the position of a major local industry. Less tangible, yet of even greater importance, is the contribution which the College makes to the cultural life of the community through its many plays, concerts, lectures and art exhibits, 14 is Student Personnel A new generation of students has been accompanied by an increased need for counseling and consultation. Expansion of our student services personnel in recent years has proven to be a wise investment in an atmosphere of peace and cooperation on our campus. Our students' understanding of the less-than-ideal circumstances under which classes commenced in September, 1972, is a product of the skill with which our deans and housing officers maintained open lines of communication with the student body and contractors throughout this trying time. Data Processing and Management Information A growing enrollment has in recent years created an increased burden of record-keeping and financial accounting. The development of our data processing capability in the past three years has relieved a significant portion of this burden while at the same time providing a new educational resource for students and faculty. In addition, as the Computer Center becomes more fully integrated with the operations of the Registrar's Office and the Comptroller's Office we will have increasingly available the kind of management informatton upon which sound decisions must be based. The ability to spot trends in applications, enrollment, revenues, expenditures, and other variables, and to evaluate the implications of alternative courses of action is essential to sound planning, programming, and budgeting operations. The soundness of such operations is essential in a time of fmanc.al stnngency and the Board of Trustees has received initial studies in this area of mst.tut.onal cost accounting. �FINANCES igency demanding skillful m---retrenchment to minimize deterioration^^ - ' . . ■ O'" --------ion in educational quality." — McKinsey Report, 1971 ,Or l"d<iPe"d“t The dismal prospect portrayed by the McKinsey Report presents a double challenge to Wilkes College. As shown m the accompanying chart, Wilkes is heavily dependent upon tuition as a source of revenue. Our commitment to maintain a high degree of accessibility to a Wilkes College education for young people of all economic backgrounds prevents us from greatly increasing the tuition and fees charged to students. At the same time, "to minimize the deterioration in educational quality" is far from an adequate goal for Wilkes College in the years ahead. Indeed, we are dedicated to improving quality and expanding the range of career choices available to our students. The Administration is keenly aware of its heavy responsibilities in achieving these twin goals - the improvement of quality while holding down the rising costs of education. Additionally, we face a responsibility to our faculty to maintain salary levels competitive with other institutions and commensurate with the cost-of-living. While the June 23 flood prevented a year-end audit for 1971-72, it is clear from our records that the College finished the year substantially in the black. Faculty and Administrative salaries for 1972-73 were increased by the maximum amount permitted by law, while a balanced budget was maintained. There is reason to be proud of this record of fiscal responsibility. However, it must be remembered that the maximum salary increment was made possible by a $100 increase in tuition for 1972-73. While tuition at Wilkes remains below that of most comparable institutions, we have a special responsibility to minimize these charges. Accordingly, the 1973-74 budget will anticipate a salary increase with no increase in tuition. It will be a balanced budget, founded upon expected improvements in the efficiency of our operations which will generate the savings needed to finance improved salaries. In a sense, our 1973-74 budget sets a high goal for all of us at Wilkes College. It is the first budget since 1965 that anticipates no increase in tuition but rather calls for improvements in instructional efficiency to provide the increases in salaries which our faculty and staff require and deserve. The achievement of this goal will require the best efforts of the Administration, faculty, and staff, and the availability of facilities to permit efficient learning. Completion of the Learning Center and the adjacent lecture hall plays an important role in this effort. But its success will depend most heavily upon the awareness, concern, and cooperation of the entire college community in the coming months and years. We must approach this challenge with an awareness that it does not confront us alone. Every independent institution of higher learning in America is faced with the fact that the college-age population is not increasing at a rate to match the growth of the 1960's and that the tuition gap between private and public institutions is nearing a maximum. Faced with these circumstances, many institutions have in recent years operated at a deficit, some have frozen salaries, and some others have closed their doors. Through sound planning and careful management, Wilkes College has avoided their fate. We approach the task of improving efficiency and maintaining quality from a strong base, but we must not permit our strength to breed complacency. The needs of our students, our community, and our nation demand that Wilkes College continue to build upon its history of success, and we are dedicated to that end.
