sive background in the field of higher ed
ucation, which includes both administra
tive and academic experience, will be
valuable to Wilkes as we continue to
build upon our traditions of academic
quality and fiscal responsibility. The pres
idential search committee, under the di
rection of Mrs. Patricia S. Davies, is to be
commended for bringing to Wilkes and
the Wyoming Valley a person of Dr.
Breiseth's stature in the educational
field."
"We look forward," Conyngham con
tinued, "to working with Dr. Breiseth as
the College embarks on its second fifty
years of service to the Wyoming Valley
and Northeastern Pennsylvania."
Prior to becoming a member of the
Sangamon Stale University faculty in
1971, where during his tenure, he served
as chairperson of the. history program, the
faculty senate, and the faculty budget
committee, Breiseth spent eight years at
Williams College in Williamstown, Mas
sachusetts. At Williams, the Minneapolis,
Minnesota, native served as an assistant
professor of history and director of stu
dent activities.
From 1967 to 1969, the 47-year-old edu
cator worked for the Office of Economic
Opportunity in Washington, D.C., serv
ing as chief of the policy guidance branch
for the Community Action Program.
A UCLA Phi Beta Kappa, Breiseth has
compiled numerous writings and has
authored several publications, including
"Lincoln and Frederick Douglas:
Another Debate;” "George III and Abra
ham Lincoln Face the Rebels;" "Compe
tency and Cooperation: A Pilot Pro- *
gram;'' and "Reshaping the Past: History
Curriculum, Competency Education and
the Contemporary World."
Active in community service, Breiseth
served as co-director of three summer in
stitutes on interracial education for
Springfield (Illinois) school teachers and
administrators between 1972 and 1974.
Breiseth is married to the former Jane
Morhouse of Ticonderoga, New York;
they have three children: Abigail, 15,
Erika, 13, and Lydia, 3.

Salurday morning's highlight will take

feature of this year's tailgate will be the
opportunity for members of the five- and

the classes of '39, '44, '49, '54, '59, '64,

Colonels wrapped up a 14-8 season after
getting off to a 9-1 start. Senior Kim Smith
(1309 pts) and junior Charlene Hurst
(1096 pts) both reached the 1000 - career
point plateau. Junior guard Deanna Kyle
led the team in scoring, 487 points and a
6
22.1 ppg average. She ranked nationally
in scoring, field goal percentage (.640)
and free throw percentage (.800). Kyle
was selected to Kodak's All-Region team
and named All-MAC.
SPRING SPORTS
OUTLOOK
BASEBALL — With a 30+ game sched
ule the Colonels appear to be solid in the
hitting department and few in pitching
arms. Senior Ken Sorick, 1982 All-MAC,
returns wi(h a 400 bat(ing average;
RBrs and 4 home runs. Other .300 hilt
litters
.
include Dave Orman, John Good, and
Dave Kerdesky.
Four of the nine returning lettermen
were members of last year's hurling crew
that ranked 6th nationally with a 3.15
ERA. Coach Bob Duliba's ace should be
basketball star Rick Sheaffer who had a
3.20 ERA in over 45 innings last year
earning a 3-3 record.
SOFTBALL - Coach Nancy Roberts re
turns five letterwomen from last year's
10-4-1 Northwest League champions. Hit
ting and fielding should prove to be
Wilkes' strength led by sophomore sensa
tion Michelle Zawoiski. As a freshman
shortstop, Zawoiski led the nation in
home runs, triples and RBI average. She
batted .357 with 8 homers, six triples and
25 RBI's.
With the loss of pitching superstar, Sue
Schwartz, Roberts must find a good, reli-
able pitcher in order to make this year's
group a contender.
GOLF - Six lettermen return for Rollie
Schmidt. Heading the list is junior captain
Jeff Tbkach. The two-year letterman
turned in the fifth best score at the 1983
MAC championships. Schmidt evaluated
this year's incoming group as the most tal
ented and experienced in years. The team
will be looking to improve last year's 7th
place finish in the 20-team MAC champi
onships.
TENNIS - Second-year coach Dave
Smith continues in his effort to build a
solid program. Once again freshmen
dominate the scene and are expected to
hold down three of the top six single posi
tions.

ONLY FOR
ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
OF WILKES COLLEGE
I®
The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House
A signed and numbered (S/N) limited edi
tion pointillist graphic . . . perfect for
home or the office. ''The Annette Evans
Alumni and Faculty House" depicts in
detail a pointillist graphic of the building
which served as the presidential resi
dence of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the original
home of the Health Sciences Office, and
now serves as the Alumni/Faculty House.
Pointillism is a post-impressionist art
form exemplified by Seurat and his fol
lowers in the late 19th century France.
The method is characterized by the appli
cation of ink in small dots to create a
blending illusion.
ABOUT THE ARTIST...
William O. "Bill" Williams was born in
Sayre, Pennsylvania, in 1932. Because his
father was employed by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, travel for the family was fre
quent, and he attended nineteen schools
before graduating from high school in Jer
sey City, New Jersey. Even as a child of
five, Bill felt a need to draw with dots, al
though it was not until much later as an
adult that he learned the name of his unu
sual artistic technique: pointillism.
A Korean veteran of the U.S. Air Force,
he attended St. Francis College in Brook
lyn, and finally Hobart College in Ge
neva, NY. As a talented self-taught artist,
Williams has been on many television
shows to discuss his unique style, and he
draws full-time as a professional artist.
Specializing in buildings and unusual ar. chitectural structures, Williams has
drawn the Golden Gate Bridge, the
George Washington Bridge, the Empire
State Building, and many other state and
county buildings, including the State Cap
itol in Harrisburg. Here in the Wyoming
Valley, Bill has drawn the Luzerne
County Courthouse, the Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, the skyline of WilkesBarre as viewed from the West Side, and
now the Annette Evans Alumni House.
Bill exhibits his works regularly, and it
is not unusual for an original pointillist
work by him to require in excess of four
hundred hours of intense drawing effort.
AN OFFERING...
The Alumni Association commissioned
Bill Williams to provide us with the origi
nal signed graphic and 200 signed and
numbered graphics of the Alumni House,
to be used as a fund-raiser in conjunction
with the Alumni Fund campaign.

Capin's Farewell
In his final address to a graduating class
as President of the College, Robert S. Capin asked the class to reflect with him on
their years at Wilkes and how the educaion they received will affect their future
hves "A sound education," he said, is
one that helps us to appreciate and better
understand the experiences that come
from literature, from laboratories, from
art, from athletics... in short, from the
wide and diverse world around us, and
from the quiet, private, intimate world
within us. My prayer for you is a simple
one: May the influences that have helped
to shape and direct your years at Wilkes
College also prepare you to face your
future with courage, confidence, and
conviction. May God bless your endeav
ors as you go forward from this... our
College."

Mrs. Davies begins the duties of her
two-year term immediately.
If the efforts of a small group of Chem
istry alumni from the Class of 1970 come
to fruition, the College will add yet
another named scholarship to the list, of
those already appearing in the Bulletin.
Dan F. Kopen, a general and vascular sur
geon from Kingston, PA, along with Jo
anne Levandowski, a chemistry teacher
with the Wilkes-Bane area school dis
trict, conceived the scholarship as a me
morial tribute to David Findora, a fellow
Chemistry graduate with the Class of
1970, who died January 1, 1984.
Kopen recently sent a personal mailing
to other members of the 1970 Chemistry
class, asking for their support over the
coming five years. Dan's letter was so
well-written, and is sufficiently universal
to apply to other members of the Class of
1970, regardless of major as well as to
other Chemistry majors, regardless of
year of graduation, that it is worth repeat
ing verbatim:
"You may know that one of our Wilkes
College classmates, Dave Findora, died a
tragic death on New Years' day of this
year. At the time of his death, Dave was
employed by the U.S. Department of En
vironmental Resources, as a lawyer in the
division devoted to the preservation of
our nation's wetlands.
"Many of us remember Dave as a class
mate who always pulled his own weight,
who was an asset both to our class and to
the College, and who was a reliable per
sonal friend. Over the nearly fourteen
years since our graduation, Dave and I
kept in touch on occasion. I know
through our conversations during that
time that Dave held a fond place in his
heart for Wilkes College and for the peo
ple he knew while we were students at
the College.
"It is my feeling that it would be appro
priate for us, as the Chemistry Class of
1970, to provide a lasting tribute to Dave
in the form of an endowed scholarship in
his name, and I invite you to join me in
this most worthy endeavor.
"What I propose is that we seek to en
dow a DAVID J. FINDORA MEMORIAL
SCHOLARSHIP, to be awarded on a
yearly basis to a junior- or senior-level
chemistry major who best exemplifies the
characteristics of teamwork and reliabil
ity as judged by the Chemistry Faculty in
conjunction with our class. The details of
the selection process can be worked out
in the future.
"According to the College's develop
ment officials, a minimum of 54,000 to
$5,000 is necessary to endow a scholar
ship. Depending upon both the amount of
money we can accumulate and prevailing
interest rates, the amount of the scholar
ship will vary from year to year.
"While this $5,000 amount may be
more than we as a group could comfort
ably pledge in one year, it does seem rea
sonable to expect that we could raise or
even exceed this minimum over a fiveyear pledge period if we all join together
on behalf of our classmate Dave.
"I would appreciate your thoughtful
consideration of this endeavor; please use
the enclosed pledge form to designate
your commitment to the memory of our
friend. With some determination, we can,
over the next five years, raise the neces
sary funds to establish this tribute in
memory of Dave at our Alma Mater."
This initial mailing has already resulted
in pledges from several members of the
Class of 1970, and additional commit
ments are anticipated as others make
their decisions to become personally in
volved as the result of follow-up letters
that Dan and Joanne plan to mail.
Alumni or friends not already on the
mailing list can obtain a pledge form by
calling the alumni office or by simply not
ing the amount of the gift for each year of
the five-year pledge period, and the fre
quency of payment (monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually, or annually) that best fits
the circumstances of the donor, noting
that the gift is designated for the Findora
Scholarship Fund; such pledges should be
mailed to P.O. Box 111, Wilkes-Barre, PA
18766.

�A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
ONLY FOR
ALUMNI AND FRIENDS
OF WILKES COLLEGE
j: ...
The Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty House
A signed and numbered (S/N) limited edi
tion pointillist graphic . . . perfect for
home or the office. "The Annette Evans
Alumni and Faculty House" depicts in
detail a pointillist graphic of the building
which served as the presidential resi
dence of Dr. Eugene S. Farley, the original
home of the Health Sciences Office, and
now serves as the Alumni/Faculty House.
Pointillism is a post-impressionist art
form exemplified by Seurat and his fol
lowers in the late 19th century France.
The method is characterized by the appli
cation of ink in small dots to create a
blending illusion.
ABOUT THE ARTIST...
William O. "Bill" Williams was born in
Sayre, Pennsylvania, in 1932. Because his
father was employed by the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, travel for the family was fre
quent, and he attended nineteen schools
before graduating from high school in Jer
sey City, New Jersey. Even as a child of
five, Bill felt a need to draw with dots, al
though it was not until much later as an
adult that he learned the name of his unu
sual artistic technique: pointillism.
A Korean veteran of the U.S. Air Force,
he attended St. Francis College in Brook
lyn, and finally Hobart College in Ge
neva, NY. As a talented self-taught artist,
Williams has been on many television
shows to discuss his unique style, and he
draws full-time as a professional artist.
Specializing in buildings and unusual ar
chitectural structures, Williams has
drawn the Golden Gate Bridge, the
George Washington Bridge, the Empire
State Building, and many other state and
county buildings, including the State Cap
itol in Harrisburg. Here in the Wyoming
Valley, Bill has drawn the Luzerne
County Courthouse, the Wilkes-Barre
General Hospital, the skyline of WilkesBarre as viewed from the West Side, and
now the Annette Evans Alumni House.
Bill exhibits his works regularly, and it
is not unusual for an original pointillist
work by him to require in excess of four
hundred hours of intense drawing effort.
AN OFFERING ...
The Alumni Association commissioned
Bill Williams to provide us with the origi
nal signed graphic and 200 signed and
numbered graphics of the Alumni House,
to be used as a fund-raiser in conjunction
with the Alumni Fund campaign.
While the edition will not be offered for
sale, alumni and friends of the College
can obtain a graphic (S/N) by pledging
$100 or more to the 1984 campaign in ex
cess of the pledge made to the 1983 cam
paign. The image size of the graphic is
23" x 14" unframed; for framing pur
poses, the overall size is 25" x 16". Each
graphic will be shipped via United Parcel
Service at an additional cost of $5 per
graphic. In view of the limited supply, all
pieces are subject to prior commitment,

CAMPUS CONSOLIDATION CONTINUES
Our New Look
Parrish, Chapman
Halls Sold
Another round of changes to the Wilkes
College campus has taken place during
the summer of 1983 designed to result in
a more compact, more efficiently utilized
physical plant. Among those changes is
the sale of Parrish Hall, Chapman Hall,
and the "Parrish Parking Lot" to a
private developer who plans to convert
the structures into an office complex.
Parrish and Chapman Halls were con
structed originally by the former Lehigh
and Wilkes-Barre Coal Company during
the early 1900's; Parrish, in fact, still
bears the name of the coal company in its
cornice, and several doorknobs with the
coal company insignia still remain in the
building. Chapman Hall had served as a
women's residence hall through the
1982-83 school year.
The administrative offices formerly
housed in Parrish Hall have been moved
to Sturdevant Hall on South Franklin
Street, including the Business Office,
Finance, the Registrar and Recorder, and
the Office of Graduate Studies, Summer
and Evening School. Joining those offices
in Sturdevant, formerly another women's
residence hall, are Financial Aid {from
the lower level of Weckesser Hall) and
the Upward Bound Program (from Ross
Hall).
The Department of Commerce and Fi
nance, the last remaining academic
department in Parrish Hall, has been
reheated to Bedford Hall on the comer
of River and South Streets, a former
men's residence hall. In addition to hous
ing the offices of the faculty, several
rooms will be used as classrooms in the
building.
"Moving the administrative offices to
Sturdevant Hall will be a blessing to the
students," remarked Dr. Andrew Shaw,
Dean of Management and responsible for
the physical plant of the College. "The
registrar, finance office, and financial aid
will be much closer to the student deans
in Weckesser Hall and to the Admissions
Office in Chase Hall, thus making it
easier for students needing those services
to walk from one building to another,"
he continued.
Three buildings were determined to
have outlived their usefulness to the Col
lege-Gore Hall and Dana Hall, both
residence halls and both on South
Franklin Street - have been razed along
with Conyngham Hall Annex, The Gore

College Receives Bequest
President Robert S. Capin recently announced that the College has received a be
quest in excess of $500,000 from the estate of the late William L. Evans of Harvey's
Lake, PA. A native of Wyoming Valley, Evans died in May, 1983, at the age of 91.
As a tribute to his generosity ana philanthropic support for Wilkes and higher
education, the Board of Trustees has officially renamed Founders Hall the William L.
Evans Residence Hall. Located at the corner of South River and East Northampton
Streets, Evans Hall is a 205-unit residence hall which was opened in September of 1982.
"We are extremely grateful to the late Mr. Evans for his generosity and vision
which will assist us in maintaining the quality of education at Wilkes," said Capin in
making the announcement. "Wilkes remains, and shall continue to be a strong force in
the educational, cultural and social development of the students of Northeastern Penn
sylvania largely because of wise and unselfish benefactors like William L. Evans."
A graduate of Coughlin High School, Evans began his professional career in the
plastering business with his father, Daniel H. Evans, of Wilkes-Barre. Following a part
nership with Builders Supply Company here in the city, Evans joined with William
Sworcf in 1942 to originate the Petroleum Services Corporation of Wilkes-Bane.
Evans served as a member of the former Franklin Club, the Westmoreland Club,
and Irem Temple Country Club in Dallas.
The end of the 1982-83 academic year
also brought with it the final issue of the
Wilkes College Quarterly, the college
magazine which was distributed to alum
ni, parents, and contributors to the Col
lege, and published jointly by the Public
Relations Office and the Office of Alumni
Relations. After analyzing both the costs
of the publication and the reaction of its
readers to last year's alumni survey, Ex
ternal Affairs Dean Thomas Kelly and his
staff decided to change the format to
what you are now reading.
■8The 1982 alumni survey resulted in
some interesting data concerning the
readership of the Quarterly. For exam
ple, of the more than 500 survey re
sponses, 40% indicated that the Quar
terly was read only by the alumnus/a;48% discarded the magazine within two
weeks after receiving it; and only 3%
passed it along to someone outside the
family after reading it. Based on these
findings, it was decided to publish the
Alumnus as a less expensive black-andwhite offering rather than the very costly
four-color magazine.
In terms of content, the survey respon
dents indicated their highest interest in
the areas of class notes, prominent alum
ni, and campus happenings. As you read
through the pages of this issue, you will
notice that we have attempted to include
topics from these areas, along with other
features that will appear from time to
time.
The Alumni Christmas Shopper on
page 6, for example, offers graduates and
parents, especially those unable to make
a personal visit to the Bookstore, the op
portunity to purchase souvenir items dis
playing the College seal as well as a
variety of articles of clothing, just in time
for the holiday season. If you are in
terested in purchasing any items not pic
tured in the Shopper, just call or write
Gene Manganello, manager of the Book
store, for prices and availability of ar
ticles. You will want to order quickly,
however, to ensure delivery in tune for
your gift-giving.
Another External Affairs change be
came effective on June 1, when the
Development Office was reorganized
under the directorship of Randy Xenakis.

Public Relations and Publications, fol

the inner campus, especially Pickering
Hall. The Conyngham Annex lot will be
paved for narking to help offset the loss
of spaces from the Parrish Hall lot.
Ross Hall, located on South River
Street, will be deactivated as the Act 101
Program is relocated in Kirby Hall, while
plans call for Hollenback Hall to be used
once again as a residence hall. College
employees recently completed the reno
vations to the third floor of the Con
yngham Student Center into office spaces
tor various student organizations and the
Beacon, further consolidating the stu
dent-oriented activities on campus. The
College Infirmary, formerly located in
Conyngham Annex, has moved to the
second floor of the Student Center.
President Capin noted that "not only
will these changes result in a more effi
cient utilization of our physical plant, but
students will also benefit by the campus
consolidation.

was advanced to Assistant Director of
Development. Betsy will continue to
write a column for the Alumnus, as will
Randy and other members of the Exter
nal Affairs Staff. Because the alumni play
such a key role in the future progress of
the College, a full page of each Alumnus
will be devoted to the development func
tion, bringing you items of interest about
annual campaigns, special bequests, and
ongoing needs of the institution.
While the change in format of this
alumni newsletter was based on the re
sponses to the survey conducted by the
Alumni Office, we are very much inter
ested in hearing from alumni who were
not included in that survey (the survey
sample was randomly selected by the
computer) with their reactions to the
Alumnus. Whether it's praise or criti
cism, or even contributions of original
material, we offer each reader the oppor
tunity to share with us and the alumni
association your feelings. Keep in touch!

WILKES PITCHING SIXTH BEST IN NATION
Bob Duliba's Wilkes College baseball
team had found itself back in the national
spotlight with a sixth-place ranking in the
NCAA pitching statistics for Division III
colleges and universities.
Over its 22-game schedule, the Colonel
pitching staff 13-9, recorded a 3.15
earned run average, sixth best in the na
tion. In 180 innings pitched, the Colonels
gave up 109 runs, only 63 of which were
earneo.
The Wilkes pitchers included Nick
Volpetti, Coughlin; Rich Sheaffer, Cen
tral Bucks West; Rich Geffert, Coughlin;
Dana Colavetti, Tunkhannock; Jack Delfino, Carbondale; and Gene Nosovitch,
Carle Place, NJ.
Excellent pitching should remain with
the Colonels as Geffert is the only player
lost through graduation.
UNSWORTH HAS CHOICE OF QB THIS YEAR
Entering his second year as head coach
of the Wilkes Football Colonels, Bill
Unsworth has recruited heavily and is
looking to improve upon last year's 1-8
record. Last year's team operated under
a wide-open passing game, averaging
nearly 40 passes an outing. That team
established three offensive records.
Fall practice sessions were slated to get
underway in late August, with 30 let
termen and one of the largest incoming
freshman crops in recent history ex
pected to assemble at Ralston Field.
One of the major areas of concern in
the early going will be to find the best
man to direct the offense from among the
three returnees and three incoming
freshmen. Lost through graduation was
last year's starting quarterback Wayne
Lonstein.
The leading candidate is sophomore
Randy Rice. The 6'1", 185-pound West
Hazleton product replaced the injured
Lonstein in 1982 and finished the season
ranked third in passing in the Middle At
lantic Conference. He is an intelligent
quarterback and has good working
Knowledge of the offense.
Expected to battle for the spot are
junior Andy Haradel and sophomore Eric
Reidinger. Harakel, from Robesonia, is
smaller at 5'10", 170 pounds. He played
quarterback in early season relief last
year but was moved to wing back where
ne played well.
Reidinger, 6'1", 195 pounds, from
Danville, started last season with arm
trouble. He played in the last two games
and was the leading rusher against Fair
leigh-Dickinson University of Madison,
NJ. He has good physical size and a
strong arm. In order to help the Colonel
cause, he needs to become more accurate
and better familiarize himself with the
offense.
Three freshmen who will be arriving
on the scene this fall are Chuck Man

�ANNIVERSARY BALL A BALL!
Gala Evening Had by 600
MM
More than 600 people from the com
munity and from the Wilkes College
Family were on hand to celebrate the
College's 50th Anniversary at a ball held
on May 7 at Genetti's Best Western in
downtown Wilkes-Barre.
The gala affair was the grand finale for
the Golden Anniversary year at Wilkes.
Guests included friends from the com
munity, visitors and alumni from across
the country — literally. John Jastrem '77,
an accounting manager with Arthur An
dersen & Company in Los Angeles,
coupled a family visit with the oppor
tunity to attend the ball. Jerry Moffatt
'63, a member of the Wilkes Board of
Trustees and a partner with Arthur An
dersen in New York City, also attended,
giving us coast-to-coast representation of
the Alumni.
Special recognition was given to those
whose efforts were instrumental during
the year of celebration, including W.
Carey Evans '41, a member of the Wilkes
Board and Chairman of the 50th Anni
versary Celebrations, and John Chwalek,
campus coordinator of the anniversary
activities. Also honored were Trustee
Emeritus Charles H. Miner, Jr., and the
latexF. Ellsworth Parkhurst.

ously." By fall (here will be 110 user ter
minals at various locations on campus,
with a potential 85 additional terminals
able to be added.
This will allow all students in all dis
ciplines to become computer literate.
"Students in the sciences will usually
have, by the nature of the field of study,
access to computers; however, those who
are in the humanities previously had lit
tle of the vitally important hands-on ex
perience they will need in a computeroriented job market," Nejib stated.
The program, once fully developed in
place, will be unique in the area, and one
of the most important aspects of the
MV-10000 is that it will allow Wilkes to
put in place a new degree in software en
gineering and eventually a master's pro
gram in engineering.
The Data General, which will be used
solely for academic purposes, replaces
two Hewlett Packard computers, which
previously supported both academic and
administrative applications. One of the
Hewlett Packard units will continue to
service the administrative functions,
while several options are being consid
ered for the second unit.
DATA GENERAL INSTALLED
Computers in the classroom have be
come commonplace, and the public tends
to associate the highly sophisticated
machines exclusively with science or
science-related courses. Wilkes, a tradi
tionally liberal arts institution, will help
to dispel that concept as the newlyacquired Data General MV-10000 time
sharing computer system will be used in
academic programs in both the sciences
and the humanities.
Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the De
partment of Engineering and Director of
Computer Services, stated, "We fully ex
pect that all students will benefit. Our
Philosophy Department has already de-
veloped a self-learning program for its
students, which students can use on an
individual basis at times convenient to
them."
The computer has a capacity of 8 mil
lion characters of memory, 602 million
characters of disc storage, a magnetic
tape unit, and a 300-line-per-minute
printer. It has the capability of perform
ing over 7 million simple arithmetic
operations per second and of reading or
writing data on disc storage units at the
rate of 14 million characters per second.
This kind of speed, according to Nejib,

MARKETING STUDY UNDERWAY
What is Wilkes College? What are
the strengths of the institution? The
weaknesses? What kind of image do we
profess ... and project to the commun
ity? What characteristics of the college
appeal to current and prospective stu
dents? Where will Wilkes College be
five years from now? Ten years from
now?
If these questions Seem obvious — as
they must to anyone involved in any
way with the field of marketing, it is just
as apparent that the answers to them are
not so obvious. Such has been the feel
ing of senior administrators at the Col
lege for the past several years, during
which time the prospect of a marketing
study has been under consideration.
As a result of the deliberation, the
Long-Range Planning Committee listed
the market analysis as one of the institu
tional priorities for the 1983-84 aca
demic year, and requested President’s
Staff to make a decision if the study
would be performed by College person
nel or by an outside consultant. Two
professional consulting firms, each
experienced in the marketing of institu
tions of higher education, were invited
to the campus to make a presentation
and a proposal.
Although both presentations were
impressive, with critical and construc
tive comments along with some insight
ful suggestions, the approximate
$35,000 price tag on the first year of
consulting hastened the decision to use
the expertise already assembled on cam
pus by asking a cross-section of faculty
and administrators to serve on a Mar
keting Study task force.
Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, Dean of Exter
nal Affairs, was named by President
Capin to head the marketing study.
Subsequently, six task forces were
established to deal with the areas of
Admissions, Publications-Communications, Student Retention,
Financial Aid, Research, and Outcomes
And Environment; chairs for the task
forces include Dr. Walter Karpinich,
Dr. William Sterling, Dr. Lester
Turoczi, Dr. Virginia Nehring, Dr.
Joseph Bellucci, and Dr. James Rodechko/Dr. Thomas Kaska, respectively.
Much has already been accomplished
by the various task forces. Since early
October, the groups have been meeting
to identify the kinds of data needed to
accomplish their goals. Ms. Cheryl Scalese and the Office of Institutional
Research provided chairpersons with a
listing of the types of information
already gathered along with recommen
dations for additional data-gathering
devices. In this regard, it is interesting to

GILBERT D. TOUGH
Mr. Gilbert D. Tough, C.A.M., president and chief executive officer of Blue
Cross of Northeastern Pennsylvania, has been named chairman of the 1984 Wilkes
College Alumni Fund Drive. Tough will assist the college in raising funds which will
help Wilkes “Maintain Excellence Through Scholarships.”
A 1956 graduate of Wilkes, Tough is a native of Lehman and graduated from
Lehman High School, the Wyoming Seminary Dean School of Business, and the
Penn State Extension Evening School, where he received an associate certificate in
Surveying and Coal Mining in 1945. In 1973 Tough was designated a Certified
Administrative Manager (C.A.M.) by the Professional Accreditation Commission
of the Administrative Management Society. Tough was among the first one
hundred executives in the United States and Canada to be designated a C.A.M.
Tough has held several positions at Blue Cross, including supervisor of the
accounting department, coordinating director, director of services, and vice presi
dent of operations. In August, 1983, he was named president and chief executive
officer.
“I am very proud of my Wilkes degree in Accounting,” Tough stated, "and also
proud of the fact that I earned the degree in the Evening College while holding a
full-time work position. My own experience tells me how important it is that the
College be able to attract and retain capable and deserving students by offering
scholarships and other financial support to ease the burden of their educational
costs.” "And we will rely upon the backbone of this Institution, the alumni, to
provide an increasing share of the financial resources that the College must have to
continue to serve its students with a program of excellence.”
Active in numerous community organizations, Gil is an associate member of the
American Management Association and the Administrative Management Society.
He serves as a member of the United Way’s Finance Committee and is a member of
PEG, Pennsylvanians for Effective Government. He resides in Lehman with his wife
Vera. They are the parents of rwo children, Linda, and Gary who completed his B.S.
in Business Administration at Wilkes in May, 1983.
Other principals in the 1984 Campaign include Atty. Eugene Roth *57, Chair
man of the Development Committee of the Board of Trustees, Harold "Jake”
Trethaway, Chairman of the Community Campaign, and Beverly Hiscox '58, Vice
chairman of the campaign and head of the Corporate Phase.
The '84 Alumni Fund Appeal will consist of several letters and other direct
mailings as well as the annual Alumni Phonothon scheduled for early 1984. The
alumni goal for Campaign '84 has been set at $140,000.

note that the 1982-83 Alumni Survey
conducted by the alumni office was
helpful to several task forces. Ms. Scalese is currently in the process of design
ing another questionnaire which will be
sent to recent alumni members during
December. If you are one of those sur
veyed, we hope you have already com
pleted and returned the instrument to
the Research Office. In addition to
input from alumni, students, commun
ity residents, and members of the Col
lege Family will also be asked to provide
information to the marketing study.
It will be the responsibility’ of the
Research Office to perform the neces
sary analyses of the data, and to furnish
each task force chair with that interpre
tation and findings of significance, at
which time the task forces will reassem
ble to develop recommendations in the
various areas.
In describing the charges of the task
forces, Dr. Kelly noted "Each task force
has been charged with responsibilities
to investigate a specific area of concern.
In addition, the Outcomes and Envir
onment Task Force, which is for the
most part, philosophical in nature, will
also look at those aspects of College life
which influence enrollment management and which may not fall within the
specific purview of other task forces,
including image, morale, curricular
requirements, student life, communica
tion, parking, and physical facilities.”
Kelly also noted that the results of the
marketing study will be shared with all
elements of the College family, includ
ing alumni. While the current market
study is scheduled for competition in
Spring, 1984, with the final written
report being presented to President
Capin, it is recognized that ongoing stu
dies to engage in continuous market
research will undoubtedly continue in
the future to enable the College to more
effectively manage its enrollment.
Hello! I think the change in the for
mat of the Alumni Newsletter is good.
However, the print is too small. This
makes reading it very frustrating and
straining to the eye.
Hope you can adjust this for future
issues - keep up the good work.

I received my copy of the ALUM
NUS this past weekend and noted with
sadness the sale of Chapman Hall and
Parrish Hall to a private investor.
I spent all four years at Wilkes in
Chapman Hall, and as a Sociology
major, was lucky to have many 8 a.m.
classes right next door in Parrish. Of
course living in Chapman also gave its
residents the distinct honor of walking
the greatest distance to the cafeteria,
especially on long, cold, windy winter
evenings.
Being a campus "outpost” never
inhibited its residents from campus par
ticipation and we did what we could to
be noted academically, politically and
socially. I’m certainly glad I had the
experience of living in that intimate
lifestyle with a unique array of rooms
and a charm that was reminiscent of the
great coal mining days. I hope the build
ing W*U be preserved.
I’m sure all former women of Chap
man Hall share my feelings in the loss of
another legend, yet welcome the growth
and expansion of the campus in other
directions. It will always remain a part
of the Wilkes Campus in my mind.
An update on my whereabouts: My
husband Patrick and I relocated to the
Sarasota, Florida area a little over a year
ago. I am presently Admissions Direc
tor for Heritage Healthcare Center, a
long-term care facility. We love Florida
and enjoy the year-round sailing in the
Gulf in our sailboat "Puffin.”

�Presidential Search
Narrows
“The process through which a Col
lege or University selects a new chief
executive officer is necessarily an elaborate, time-consuming exercise,”
according to Mrs. Patricia Davies,
chairperson of the Presidential Search
Committee charged with the awesome
responsibility of recommending to the
Board of Trustees that person who will
succeed Robert S. Capin as president of
Wilkes College.
And if time and energy expended are
any indication of the quality of that
exercise here at Wilkes, we can rest
comfortably knowing that Davies’ com
mittee has devoted many, many hours
following through their charge. The
Committee consists of Davies, fellow
Board of Trustees members Frank
Henry, Arnold Rifkin, Mary Rhoades,
and Richard Ross; Faculty representa
tives Robert Heaman and Donald Hen
son; national alumni president James
Ferris; and student David Fife. The
Committee has been guided in its
procedures by a representative of Presi
dential Search Consultants, an affiliate
of the non-profit Association of
Governing Boards of Colleges and Uni
versities, of Washington, DC.
And rather than taking the passive
stance of simply receiving applications
from interested individuals, this com
mittee functioned as a true "search”
group by actively seeking individuals
and encouraging them to participate in
the application process. As a result, the
committee reviewed credentials of
approximately 200 individuals during a
series of some 10 to 12 meetings, and
succeeded in narrowing the pool of
applicants to about 20 persons. A
further series of steps in the process
resulted in the paring of that list to a
group of “ten eminently qualified peo
ple," all of whom are from outside the
Wyoming Valley area.
Those individuals will be brought to
the campus, where they will have the
opportunity to meet with various
groups and individuals, including
departmental chairpersons, committee
representatives, and the entire faculty,
and at the same time see, feel, and other
wise get to know Wilkes College. It is
anticipated that the Board of Trustees
will ultimately select the next president
of Wilkes College during the Spring
semester.
The work of the search committee
has been conducted thus far with a very
high degree of secrecy, so that only a
minimal amount of information has
been released by its members. In much
the same way, President Capin has
decided to withhold release of his plans
until sometime after his successor is
named, although he has indicated that
he will not be with the College in any
capacity during the first year of the new
president’s tenure.
Whoever is selected to fill the role of
president of our institution, we know
that person will be the best one quali
fied to lead the College through a most
crucial period in its development, and
the Search Committee certainly merits
our thanks for their diligence in meeting
their responsibilities.

Help
"America’s Team”
Through The Colonel
Wrestling Club
by Chuck Tharp ’69
Wrestling coach John Reese has been
trying to do the impossible — compete
on the Division I level with a Division
III budget. Amazingly, he has been suc
cessful against the megabuck schools
like Penn State, Lehigh, Syracuse and
Oregon State. He deserves an equal
opportunity to recruit the blue chip
athletes as his competition does. How
ever, to offer the same scholarships as
other Division I schools require a large
amount of money.
To help satisfy this financial need, the
Colonel Wrestling Club has been
formed as an independent non-profit
corporation whose main goal is to pro
vide scholarships. Although rhe pur
pose of the dub is to raise money, the
members receive many benefits for
their donations.
Currently, with a $25 annual dona
tion - which is fully tax-deductible each member receives a free pass for
himself and a guest for every home
meet. Members have access to block
seats for major away meets and the East
erns. Coach Reese mails a newsletter
several times a year to keep all members
informed of team results. The Colonel
Wrestling Club has several meetings - at
least one social and a team dinner each
year. This is a great opportunity to meet
new members of the club and also the
team. One of the intangible benefits for
the members is the opportunity to
become a part of Wilkes team’s success
on a personal level. It is exciting for
Wilkes, the smallest school in the
nation to compete on a Division I level,
to challenge larger and more heavily
endowed schools, and WIN!
If “America’s Team” is chosen
because it is an underdog faced with
unbeatable competition, then Wilkes
certainly deserves that title. If you
would like to help, please contact
Coach Reese at the Wilkes Athletic
Office to learn how you can become a
member of the Colonel Wrestling
Club. Won’t you give him a call today,
or drop him a note for full information.

Dame H.S.), an All-State honorable mention.
The Colonels will tackle a 23-game schedule

20-game winner Moravian College, a NCAA
regional qualifier last season . . . the abbreviated
home schedule is highlighted by games with East
Stroudsburg, Bloomsburg, inter-city rival King’s,
and 1983’s NCAA Division III national champion
Scranton University.
If Bellairs can blent the talented freshman class
with the seven returnees, look for the Colonels to
improve last year’s 8-15 record.

SOCCER . . . The Colonels booters finished
their best season since 1976 with a record of 8-8-2,
which
..... —• included a 1-0 loss to Division I power
Notre Dame.
CROSS COUNTRY ... The harriers recently
placed 11th in the Middle Atlantic Conference
championships at Fort Indiantown Gap, PA. Lead
ing the way for the colonels was freshman Mike
Keohane, of Livingston, NJ.
FOOTBALL , , . Coach Unsworth’s charges
continue to improve, posting a 2-7 slate for the
1983 season. Ed Kennelly, Allan Roberts, Gerry
O’Neill, Don Sparks, Mike Slepian, Rich Murray,
and Tony Popple all played their last game as
Colonels. Highlight of the season had to be the
FDU-Madison game, which the Colonels won 3026 after trailing 20-6 at halftime.
It will not take the Colonels long to get an
indication of what they can do as their first three
matches are against Oregon State, Navy, and
Lehigh... the team’s top returnees include seniors
Kurt Rowlette(14-4), Mark Correll (18-8-1), and
sophomore Marc Sodano (41-8-2). The return of
Gene Clemens (3rd place EIWA in 1979) has
given the team a big boost in attitude. Top recruits
include Glenn Whiteman (2nd PIAA State Tour
ney, at 145), Tony Troyan (5th PIAA State Tour
ney at Hwt.),John Cherry (3rd PIAA at 132), John
Pauley (4th NY State Tourney at 105), Gary Lee (3
time District II, PIAA champ at 155), and Brandon
Serratore (Region champ in PA at 119), who
recorded a 39-1 season in his senior year.
A very tough schedule lies ahead for the
grapplers . . . top home matches include Oregon
State, Navy, Temple, Penn State and Indiana State.
Road matches are at Lehigh, Harvard, Princeton,
Army-Rutgers, and the Virginia Duals (LSU, Wis
consin, Missouri, Ohio State, and North
Carolina).
If the Colonels perform up to ability and avoid
key injuries, look for them to be back in the top 20
after a disappointing 12-7 dual record last year.

�A Way To Create
Providing Excellence Through Scholarships
ENDOWED AND NAMED
SCHOLARSHIPS AT WILKES
WILKES
COLLEGE
A Way To Create
A Living Legacy
by Dr. Thomas F. Kelly ’69
Dean of External Affairs
During my senior year at Wilkes Col
lege (1968-69), I was fortunate to
benefit from the Dr. Arnaud Cartw
right Marts Scholarship. At that time I
learned that friends and colleagues of
Dr. Marts had endowed a scholarship in
honor of his outstanding contributions
to Wilkes College and American higher
education. Since that time I have come
to know in greater detail about the
many other memorial and named scho
larships which have been established by
CAMPAIGN ’84
friends and alumni of Wilkes over the
years. Such endowments have enabled
friends and alumni to honor or memor
ialize their loved ones in a way which
will not only perpetuate their memory,
but will assist capable and deserving
students to complete their education at
Wilkes.
Over the years, although I was not
obligated to do so, I have repaid my
scholarship grant many times through
my annual contributions to the Wilkes
College Scholarship Fund. And during
these years, I have been honored to
work with individuals who have elected
to establish similar endowed scholar
ships at the College. I also have had
great satisfaction in seeing those who
have created the scholarships sit at our
annual luncheon with the students who
benefit from their generosity. This
experience is a joy to both the giver and
the recipient.
At the present time, Wilkes College
lists 58 named, endowed, and/or mem
orial scholarships. Several recent addi
tions include memorial scholarships
created for the late Dr. Samuel Rosen
berg, long-time chairman of the Com
merce and Finance Department, and the
late Miss Mildred Gittins, who man
aged the Wilkes College bookstore for
many years. These two individuals have
touched the lives of many alumni, and
for that reason, we want to present the
opportunity for you to help enlarge
these funds in their initial stages.
Last year also witnessed the establish
ment of scholarships to honor Presi
dent Robert S. Capin and Dr. CHarles
B. Reif. In both cases these were created
by alumni who benefitted from interac
tion in the classroom with Bob and
Chuck. The endowed scholarships will
provide annual support for students in
accounting and biology, respectively.
Toward the end of this article, I am
listing the named scholarships at
Wilkes College. It is our hope that
alumni will provide gifts to these funds
during the 1984 Annual Campaign. We
also encourage you to think of these
funds on those occasions when you
consider sending a gift to a charitable

WILKES ..
A SMART
INVESTMENT
By Betsy Bell
Condron
A week before this article’s deadline
came around, I was still in a swivet,
trying to choose among all the wonder
ful goodies I have in my pack to write
about. .. planned giving programs that
are so enticing you couldn’t fail to be
charmed into at least one of them!
Should I emphasize our truly secure
source of life income, the Wilkes Col
lege Pooled Income Fund, which has
been earning in the 12% - 13% range? or
perhaps, I should stress the tax advan
tages of setting up one of our trust plans
that could be just perfect for you?
Maybe it’s time to tell about the medley
of ways life insurance can benefit both
you and your alma mater? I’ve talked so
much about wills lately that I had better
not get on that bandwagon again or
Jessica Mitford will add me to another
chapter in her book about the Ameri
can way of dying. And then I keep
wondering whether everybody out
there knows that their real estate, secur
ities, and collections might become
even more valuable if tied into a Wilkes
planned gift?
On the last day I could write this
column my problem solved itself,
because some interesting figures
crossed my desk. (Why do figures

seeming to stop there’) I decided you'd
many years. Without them this College
might not be in existence today.
Nor do I wish to take away from the
huge number of loyal graduates who
support Wilkes every year ... by gifts
they work hard to create. As Dart
mouth College’s Vice president said,
"Every gift is a major gift to the person
who gives it.” Alumni who think
enough of their college to support it
annually, to the best of their ability,
form the very base of our survival. And
of course, as our statistics show, many
of them will eventually grow into the
farger gift categories so’esKnual to pri-
sary Convocation address . . . "The
strength of this institution has come
from the faith of people who supported
its purpose: to provide educational
opportunities for young people of abil
ity with the desire for personal better
ment, and to assist the community
which it serves.”
A maven I am not. However, 79
brand new alumni donors of gifts in
sizable amounts tells me Wilkes will not
only continue to grow in excellence and
stability, but with an ever-healthier root
system to sustain itself. As director of
planned giving, I needn’t add that those
figures also tell me that there are 79
more alumni who may someday wish to
create a deferred gift plan here, and who
will certainly consider adding their alma
mater to the bequests in their will
making ... if only on a contingent basis.
(You know, when it comes to giving some people stop at nothing. It’s nice to
know that’s one "club” this esteemed
new group will never join at Wilkes.)
Now let’s see . .. what’ll I talk about

friends or loved ones or in memory of
their passing. Such gifts can be added to
any endowed fund at the College in
honor of or in memory of your friend
or loved one. The College promptly
acknowledges such gifts to the donor
and to the family of the one in whose
honor or memory the gift is made.
We also hope you will consider, if
circumstances permit, the establish
ment of a scholarship fund in memory
of or in honor of your parents, spouse,
or a significant person in your life.
Recently I have had the pleasure of
working with an alumna, who, together
with her family, is planning to memor

Editor:
The issue of your new paper sent to
my daughter, Elizabeth M. Kilduff,
Class of 1980 was received the other
day. Before passing it along to her I
enjoyed reading it myself. In so doing, I
noticed the little item asking for any
address changes for your alumni.
Therefore, I am writing this letter to
give you an update on Elizabeth (Pez as
she was called by many of her
classmates.)
Since June 1980 she has been work
ing at Middlesex General-University
Hospital, the primary teaching hospital
for the University of Medicine and
Dentistry of New Jersey, Rutgers Medi
cal School, on a surgical floor. She has
recently transferred to the recovery
room, and in light of this change, has
just completed a critical care course.
Needless to say, she has taken and
passed her boards. So much for her
professional career.
Now on to her personal life. Elizabeth
will be getting married in eight days,
October 29, 1983. Her fiance is Ste
phen Musial. That is the reason that I
am writing to let you know of her
change of address. Any future corres
pondence should be addressed to her in
Somerset, NJ.

Editor:
I just wanted to tell you about the
birth of our new daughter! She arrived
on March 25, 1983. Her name is
Kristen Irene.
Kristen has an older sister Erin, who
is now 414. My husband David is doing
well. He works for a manufacturer of
hotel and restaurant equipment and is
their technical service representative
for the western United States, and also
Mexico and parts of Canada.
I keep busy with the two children and
am on the school board at Erin’s school.
Our favorite pasttime is lying on the
beach. Southern California definitely
agrees with us! Thanks for the wonder
ful updates on former classmates. It
makes being so far away a bit easier.
Please give my best to the folks in finan

�Alumni Help Needed
For Corporate
Entred
%
z. la
Marilyn Krackenfels Snyder ’62
Every institutional development
officer worth his salt knows the "big
three” of alumni involvement: recom
mending the College to prospective stu
dents through the Alumni Referral
Process; assisting the Office of Career
Services by identifying job opportuni
ties for recent graduates; and support
ing the institution financially by
participating in the Annual Alumni
Fund. These three avenues have cer
tainly been well-traveled by Wilkes
Alumni, and we are justifiably proud of
the interest shown by our graduates in
each of the areas.
A fourth major opportunity for
alumni awareness was recendy unveiled
by President Robert Capin and Dean of
External Affairs Thomas Kelly: the
identification of corporate foundations
which might be approached by Wilkes
through a formal proposal. It was recog
nized that many business organizations
had such charitable gift offices or com
mittees, and if entree to these offices or
committees could be obtained, the Col
lege could then present its case for
support.
Capin and Kelly then drafted a letter,
targeted at alumni employed by organi-
rations with "matching gift programs,”
that is, any gift made to the College by
an alumnus would be matched dollarfor-dollar with a corporate gift, and ask
ing those alumni for advice. In Capin’s
words, "... you may also be able to help
the College in another important way.
You may be able to provide entree for
us to present a proposal to your corpo
ration’s charitable gift committee.”
Kelly reports that the responses to
the inquiry letter have been most
encouraging. "We have already heard
from alumni with information on more
than 20 organizations, each of which
has some form of charitable giving. We
are now analyzing the recommenda
tions of our alumni and deciding on the
best way to present our request for
assistance,” he commented.
One of the problems with the target
group of the letter, however, is the reali
zation that there are other organizations
which do not participate in an alumni
matching gift program but which do
support either a foundation or a pro
gram of charitable giving. It was felt that
the most effective way to reach such
alumni would be through the pages of
the Alumnus. Consequently, your
help is now being sought: Does the
organization you work for provide such
support? If the answer is yes, and if you
know - or can identify - an individual in
your company responsible for this area,
you are encouraged to contact Tom
Kelly in the External Affairs Office.
Tom can be reached at 824-4651 from
the local area, at 342-5617 toll-free
from rhe Scranton area, or by using the
College’s toll-free WATS numbers (800) 572-4444 from within Pennsyl
vania or (800) 537-4444 outside of
Pennsylvania.
Tom also extends thanks to the following individuals who have responded
to the original request for help: Carol J.
Allen ’72, Andrew J. Gubanich ’71,

. Why Does Wilkes Need an
Annual Campaign?
About this Issue
This issue of the Wilkes College
Quarterly focuses on the 1983
Annual Fund Raising Campaign
of the College. Similar to
selected past issues of The
Quarterly, including the 50th
Anniversary Issue and The
Presidents Annual Report Issue,
our intent is to give you as
much information about the
College as possible while, at the
same time, saving additional
publication costs which would
be otherwise incurred for
separate printings of these
special College publications.

/.' Like most private colleges, tuition
XTlk at Wilkes only helps cover part of
a students education. A portion of the
difference is made up through funds
secured in the annual campaign which
assists us in providing scholarship
assistance to capable and deserving
students. A large percentage of Wilkes
graduates have benefited from past
annual campaigns ar the College.
' How Are the Funds Used That
Are Raised in the Annual
Campaign?
Persons who support the
annual campaign and/or
other areas of the College
help insure that Wilkes will
continue to grow and
prosper in the future.
Knowing that you have
helped worthy and deserving
students obtain a quality
education has its rewards.
IA large portion of these funds are
4 A used to provide scholarship
assistance as well as other financial aid
needs to our students with some
restricted gifts used to support other
areas of the College. Of course, the
students that benefit are the capable
students that are in need of monetary
assistance.
i i . Who is asked to give to the
\
< Campaign?
Alumni, members of the College
xA Family, friends in the community,
parents of our students, corporations,
foundations, and, in general anyone
who benefits or has benefited from the
existence of Wilkes College.
Hoiv does a person benefit
from the existence of Wilkes
College?
/A There are many ways. The
XlL community benefits from the
numerous cultural and educational
programs open to them; corporations
benefit as a result of securing our
graduates for employment; alumni
continue to benefit from their quality
education and the growing traditions of
their Alma Mater, and of course the
economic impact of our institution on
the community and the area is
significant (see economic impact on page
14). I could go on and on.
What are some of the ways in
which someone can give to the
College?
There are many ways which
-A jL range from monetary gifts to
gifts-in-kind. On page 9 of this
campaign issue we have listed
numerous ways in which you may give
to Wilkes.
What is the difference between
an annual campaign and a
capital campaign?
The annual campaign is designed
" . to secure funds on an annual basis
which will help students with their
financial obligations at Wilkes. The
CAMPAIGN ISSUE 3
�capital campaign is designed to raise
substantial funds which support
building projects or other programs
requiring extensive outlays of funds.
You may be interested in reviewing t e
abbre\iated Glossary of Fund Raising
Terms on page 14.
xpfe How much money should an
\ . individual contribute to the
Annual Campaign?
There are no restrictions. Any
Jnk amount, large or small, is
extremely helpful and greatly
appreciated. Many people believe that if
they cannot give a large sum of money
then it is not worth giving. This would
be a mistake.
If someone contributes money
to the Annual Campaign, does
it have to be given in one lump
sum?
No. Payments may be made over
an extended period of time
convenient for the donor. Pledges paid
in installments covering a twelve-month
period are the most common.
7
What if a donor wishes to
support Wilkes in the future,
but cannot afford a substantial gift
now?
Fortunately, there are several
ways a sizeable gift may be made
during lifetime, with no loss of income
to the donor, through our Planned
Giving programs described on page 10.
/
Campaign '83 . .
GOAL: $400,000
. meeting our annual scholarshin
needs by filling the gap in financial
aid for capable and deserving
students.
The 1983 Annual Scholarship Campaign for Wilkes College
is of vital importance in this 50th Anniversary year. During
these difficult times, community progress and betterment will
depend upon the quality of leaders and scholars we can
produce. Sustaining programs of high quality for deserving
and capable students presents the College with one of its
greatest challenges.
As the College embarks on its second fifty years of
community service, the signs of the times are ominous.
Curtailment of state and federal funding, economic
uncertainty, and increased financial pressure on families
facing a greater burden for a college education means that
some students will not be able to meet the monetary
challenges. Friends and alumni like you will have to rally to
their support!
Tomorrow's community leaders and scholars are worthy of
our support. Please help the College fill the gap in the
financial aid packages for capable and deserving students. By
responding positively to the 1983 Annual Scholarship appeal,
you are helping our students, the College, and our
community.
We are depending on your generous support.
Can donors have their gift(s)
matched?
If the donor is emoloyed by a
Matching Gift Company (a listing
of these companies can be found in this
issue or by contacting the College
Development Office) his or her
monetary gift will be matched by the
employer, thus substantially increasing
the amount received by Wilkes.

"With changing state and federal priorities, Wilkes College must
increasingly turn to the Corporate sector for financial support.
The 1983 Annual Campaign will involve soliciting Wilkes-Barre
area businesses and firms. Hopefully, a large portion of the
annual goal will be fulfilled by the Corporate sector."
Frear H. Scovell

Campaign '83
Does a donor benefit from his
or her support of Wilkes?

the annual campaign and/or other

Joe Pinola '48 Cites American Management Styles vs.
those of Japanese at Wilkes Symposium
Is Japan a strategic ally willing to pur
chase our goods and teach us its method,
or is it a financial antagonist seeking to fill
its coffers at the expense of our flounder
ing economy?
Those differences in description were
on the minds of the more than 250 local
business, civic and judicial representa
tives in attendance at the November sym
posium on Japanese-American manage
ment styles at Wilkes College's Dorothy
Dickson Darte Center for the Performing
Arts.
Sponsored by Wilkes as part of its 50th
anniversary celebration, the three-hour
long presentation featured Joseph J. Pino
la, a Wilkes alumnus and Chairman of the
Board of the First Interstate Bancorp, Los
Angeles, Ca., and Teruo Yonemura, a con
sultant to Japanese firms doing business
in this country and President of the Tokyo
Businessmen's Club.
The symposium, which included
speeches, question and answer periods
and a movie presentation, was presided
over by Robert DeYoung, Associate Pro
fessor of Economics at Wilkes.
The topic of Japanese-American corpor
ate relations was especially timely in light
of recent political and financial develop
ments in this country. Simply put, one of
the situations being blamed for much of
this country's poor financial health is the
influx of lower-priced and better-built
Japanese goods into this country, especial
ly in the areas of autos and electronics.
Professor DeYoung set the tone for the
symposium during a brief summation of
the history of events leading to the cur
rent state of affairs between the two coun
tries.
Noting that since World War II, the
once-devastated Japanese economy has
managed to make the right decisions at
the right time, he said, "The Japanese
have not allowed frugality to succumb to
gluttony, nor have they allowed vigor to
become sloth."
Pinola, who graduated from Wilkes in
1948, interspersed his remarks with fre
quent references to his college days
At one point in (he event, Professor De
Young asked Pinola how the attitudes of
labor and management in this country
could be changed.
"I knew if I came back here I would
have to take some kind of test," he said.
The basic thrust of Pinola’s remarks
was that the gloomy picture of this coun
try's economic landscape is due in part to
government interference, a breakdown in
the work ethic and unfair trade advan
tages enjoyed by the Japanese.
Although his views on the first two
problems were not sharpened, his sugges
tion for creating parity between the two
countries in (he international marketplace
Organizers and Participants of the Business Symposium include (left to right): Dr. Thomas F. Kelly,
dean of external affairs at Wilkes; Dr. Howard Williams, associate professor of economics; Robert S.
Capin, president of Wilkes; Pinola; Yonemura; and Mr. Robert DeYoung, associate professor of
economics.
hinged on economic retaliation against
Japan.
Yonemura, as expected, took a different
stance. He called for more cooperation be
tween the two countries, reminding the
audience both in his speech and in a
movie presentation that the Japanese con
cept of doing business has been success
ful.
Furthermore, he reminded the crowd
that Japan stands as a strategic political al
ly in the eastern Pacific — an area where
both Communist China and the Soviet
Union pose a threat.
Pinola offered a six-point plan of sugges
tions for improving this country's eco
nomic footing.
Briefly that plan consisted of the following:
— Restore the emphasis on research
and development. As proof of its decline
he cited the diminishing number of pat
ents being approved each year in this
country.
— Restructure the organiratio
of
American industry. He cited Japanese
seven-layered organisations in their auto
industry while this country operates its
auto industry with 12 layers of organisa
tion.
— Discard the traditional adversarial
roles of labor and management.
— Tie any reward to employees with
performance.
— Rebuild the financial foundation of
this country by slowly balancing the
budget and re-examining basic entitle
ment programs.
Yonemura, on the other hand offered
his own six points on the Japanese system
to explain its success.
They are:
— A workforce which has always be
lieved in skilled craftsmanship.
— An educational system that is intense
in the fields of engineering and vocational
skills.
— The lack of law schools and business
schools, a situation that Yonemura wryly
hinted may be behind this country-s prob
lems.
— Good labor/management relation
ships.
— A banking system that works closely
with the corporate world.
— Few disruptions in the workplace ei
ther through labor strife or employee ab
senteeism.
Of the dozens of questions fron the au
dience aimed at the two participant per
haps one of the more deliberate came
from U.S. Third Circuit Court judge NLsx
Rosenn of Kingston.
Rosenn outlined the de velopment of Ja
pan s success and the American trcuKe
since the XVtitid War suocintiy cahing at
tention to the governmental ex? ities and
yregn-.ms that have aoocuntod :cr a
change in this country s anhude.
What can we do to shift gars? the
federal butist asked c: Pinola.
Pinola responded in a way that made
full use ot the academic surroundings he
was in.
If a bank talks about the problems c:
the country everybody thinks its propa
ganda. If a lalvr union otters suggestions
we dismiss it. Perhaps the wax to go is
through independent academia

merit consideration for the awards. Consequently, we need you to nominate yourself or other alumni who meet the
criteria for selection.
You will note that the nomination form is somewhat more detailed than it has been in the past, however, as a

the information already contained on the form. Nomination forms will be accepted with or without the name of the

Because the information needed by the committee is the same for both awards, only one form is included in this

Alumni Planning Career Shifts
John Meyers, Director of Graduate and
Part-time Undergraduate Programs re
ports that many graduates of the College
are taking advantage of the Alumni dis
count to re-tool. Particularly attractive
this year are the Nursing, Engineering,
and Computer Science courses that have
recently been added to the Evening Col
lege as majors available to part-time stu
dents.
For the past several years, according to
Meyers, alumni have been returning reg-

ularly to pick up the undergraduate pre
requisites and the graduate courses for
their Masters Degrees in Business Admin
istration or to complete Masters Degrees
in Education, Mathematics or Physics.
Now, with the addition of these technical
majors to the Evening College offerings,
Meyers notes that a new population of
alumni seems to be returning to the Col
lege. Not confined to any particular field
or age-group, these alumni are specifically
looking to change careers, and many of
them are enrolling in programs leading to
a second bachelor's degree.
Meyers advises that two things have
pleasantly surprised the returnees. One is
that graduates of the College can take un
dergraduate courses at a cost pegged at
75% of the current undergraduate tuition.
|Alumni also receive a discount of S10.
per credit for graduate courses. | The sec
ond is that courses and credits earned
toward the first degree fit so well into the
requirements for the second degree. For
example, a student with a major in Eng
lish or History might only need 50 credits
to complete a second degree with a major
in Computer Science.
Alumni interested in returning to the
College are reminded that the Spring Sem
ester (1983) begins on January 17, 1983.

Alumni Directory Reprinted
After some fifteen months of planning,
gathering, and organizing biographical in
formation on our Alumni, the Harris Pub
lishing Company recently published the
"Golden Anniversary Edition” of the
Wilkes College ALUMNI DIRECTORY.
Both the work and the wait were well
worth it, though, as the Directory has met
rave notices from those alumni who pur
chased a personal copy of the book. Each
alumnus is classified in three sections: a
biographical listing in alphabetic order
lists all graduates of Bucknell Junior Col
lege and Wilkes College through the Class
of 1981; those same individuals are also
listed in a geographic section indexed by
state and post office. A third listing shows
all members of the various classes at the
College, through the Class of 1982.
In his letter to the Alumni in the pre
fatory pages of the Directory, President
Capin acknowledges the accomplish
ments of the members of the Association
with his statement "The DIRECTORY
contains certain proof of the breadth and
diversity of influence that Wilkes and its
graduates have already achieved in the so
cial, economic, and political fabric of our
Nation.” The truth of his remark is con
tained on the following 229 pages of list
ings which show alumni in each of the fifALUMNUS 9
�ty states as well as 34 foreign countries
and U.S. possessions.
Alumni who did not order a copy of the
DIRECTORY during the telephone phase
of the project, but who would like to do so
now should contact

Anniversary Bail Scheduled
Save the date of May 7, 1983 on your
calendars — for that is the date of the 50th
Anniversary Ball.
A gala affair is being planned under the
chairmanship of Bill Umphred '52 to cli
max the year-long celebration of the 50th
Anniversary of the founding of the Col
lege. Umphred is President of the Com
monwealth Telephone Company, head
quartered in the Wyoming Valley, and is a
member of the Board of Trustees of
Wilkes.
The Anniversary Ball will be held in the
Empress and Embassy Ballrooms of Gus
Genetti's Best Western Motor Inn in
downtown Wilkes-Barre (the site of this
year's Homecoming dinner-dance) and
will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, fol
lowed by dinner at 7:30. Continuous
dancing to the music of two musical or
ganizations will take place from 9 p.m. to
1 a.m.
Members of the Anniversary Ball Com
mittee include members of the various
elements of the College family: Jenny
Centrella '74, John Chwalek, Campus Co
ordinator of the Anniversary Committee,
Betsy Condron '79, Mark '76 and Janine

trol over the integrity of the information a
few fictitious names and addresses were
placed in the Directory. If you feel that
the information has passed into unauthor
ized hands, perhaps indicated by mailings
that you receive, you are asked to contact
the Alumni Office or Harris directly so
that the situation can be investigated.
If on the other hand, you cannot find a
Directory listing on a specific individual,
that person may have asked to be omitted
from the Directory. Any graduates who
made that request are assured that their
wishes have been followed.
The Alumni Office plans to update the
Directory on a regular five-year basis. As
you read through the Golden Anniversary
Edition, your comments and suggestions
for improvement in content or procedure
will be welcome. Please send them to the

FROM YOUR HOUSE. . .
After several years of planning and ex
pectation, the Office of Alumni Relations
has taken up permanent residence at the
Annette Evans Alumni and Faculty
House. The building, located at 146 South
River Street, between Stark Learning Cen
ter and the Conyngham Student Center, is
the former home of first president Eugene
S. Farley and his family.
Shortly after Dr. Farley retired in June,
1972, the Office of Health Sciences, head
ed by Dr. Ralph Rozelle, were located to
the second and third floors, and the first
floor was designated as a faculty lounge
and alumni house. Both faculty and alum
ni found the first floor to be a convenient
area for committee meetings, fund-raising
phonothons, luncheons, or just a quiet
area in which to relax between classes.
As part of the funding for Founders
Hall, the J. N. Pew, Jr. Charitable Trust of
Philadelphia, provided a grant which re
sulted in the establishment of a Health
Science Wing as part of the new residence
hall. Dr. Rozelle and the Health Science
Office moved into their new quarters in
August 1982, thus paving the way for the
Alumni Office to relocate from the third
floor of Weckesser Hall, to the Evans
Alumni House.
The first floor of the Alumni and Facul
ty House remains as public areas, with
the three spacious rooms heavily used in
to the evening hours. The rooms are also
available to civic and community groups
for meetings. We are happy to report that
such groups as the Luzerne County Read
ing Council, the Reymont Club, the Hano
ver Township Women's Club, and the
County Lawyers' Wives Club have used
the rooms for their meeting place.
The Office of Alumni Relations occu
pies the three rooms on the second floor,
with the back room reserved as a confer
ence room, complete with blackboard, for
various committees and individuals need
ing a more private meeting area. The bank
of telephone jacks have also been relo
cated to the conference room, from which
the annual alumni phonothon will be
held. By moving the phonothon center to
the second floor, the first-floor meeting
rooms will continue to be available to
campus and community groups even dur
ing the phonothon season.
The two rooms on the third floor of the
building will eventually become guest
rooms, thus allowing visiting alumni, cor
porate recruiters, or College guests the op
portunity to spend a night on campus at a
nominal cost. This will be possible, how
ever, only when the third floor can be
brought into compliance with life-safety
code requirements, which include the
construction of external fire escapes,
emergency lighting systems, and
smoke/fire detectors, along with some re
furbishing of the rooms and the bath
room. Alumni who are interested in mak
ing this a reality have the opportunity to
"name" one or both of the guest rooms
with a donation of 515,000 for each of the
two guest rooms. These and other "nam
ed gift" opportunities are explained else
where in the campaign section of this is
sue.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Morgan of Lehman,
Pennsylvania recently donated an AM-FM
receiver along with a record player and cassette
tape player to Wilkes for use in the Alumni
House. The Morgans, longtime friends of the
College, indicated their happiness in being able
to repay the College for some of the service and
value it has performed for the community over
the past fifty years. Receiving the sound
equipment on behalf of Wilkes College was Mr.
Richard Raspen (left), director of alumni
relations.
Alumni and friends have already begun
helping the Alumni House acquire fur
nishings and equipment which will help
make the building a warmer, more com
fortable place, but for which items fund
ing was not included in the College budg
et. Upon hearing of our desire for a stereo
sound system to provide background mu
sic in the house, for example, Mr. and
Mrs. Richard Morgan of Lehman gra
ciously donated an AM-FM receiver along
with a record player and cassette tape
player. The Morgans, long-time friends of
the College, indicated their happiness in
being able to repay the College for some
of the service and value it has performed
for the community for the past fifty years.
Another of our desires was a color tele
vision set for the first-floor front lounge,
but again, the funds were not in the budg
et. The 1982 Homecoming Committee
sold chances, at SI each, for the prize of
the game football which was used in the
Wilkes-Trenton State homecoming game.
The ball, which was autographed by the
Colonel footballers and their coaches, was
won by Steve Sadowski, who is with M.
W. Wood at our Food Service. The pro
ceeds from the game ball chanced off at
halftime realized a profit sufficient to pur
chase a console television set, which will
be donated to the Alumni House in the
name of the 1982 Homecoming Commit
tee.
Other items in our "shopping list" of
needs for the Alumni House include a mi
crowave oven for the convenience of fac
ulty and other users of the building, new
lounge furnishings for two first-floor
lounge areas, sets of table lamps for those
rooms, book collections for the book
shelves in the front lounge, a new set of
draperies for the first floor, and so forth.
While there is not a sense of urgency in
acquiring these items, they would certain
ly help to dress up "our house”. . .
ATTENTION GOLFERS
The Alumni Association is planning for
a "southern golf swing" to a golf resort in
North Carolina set for early Spring. The
trip will coincide with the Spring class
break, and will depart from Wilkes-Barre
on Sunday, March 6 and will return the
following Saturday or Sunday. Depending
on the size of the response, a bus coach
may be chartered, thus relieving golfers of
the tiring drive to the south. To the extent
that space is available on the bus, we
could arrange to make stops along the
route to pick up golfers who reside be
tween Wilkes-Barre and North Carolina.
Alumni who reside close enough to the
golf resort and who prefer to meet us
there would be able to take advantage of
the low group rate which we are now neg
otiating. Further information will be
gathered shortly, but we would like to get
an estimate of the number of individuals
who would be interested in making such a
trip. Women and men are equally wel
come, so contact the Alumni Office for
further details about time of departure,
costs, and the location of the golf resort
which will be ultimately chosen.
ADMISSIONS REFERRAL
PROGRAM
One of the most effective ways that
alumni can help the College is in the iden
tification of prospective students through
the Alumni Referral Program. Dr. Jerry
Wuori, Dean of Admissions, reports that
referrals of prospective students have in
creased each year since the program was
set in motion, and encourages alumni to
continue referring friends and relatives in
their local areas. While special referral
cards are available, Jerry reminds alumni
that they can simply jot down names and
addresses of high school juniors and sen
iors and mail those notes to the Admis
sions Office, where each student will then
be contacted on an individual, personal
basis.
Another way in which alumni can assist
in the admissions process is to host a "Get
Acquainted With Wilkes" reception at
their homes. For example, if the Admis
sions Office has received six applications
from students at Westfield (New Jersey)
High School, an alumnus in Westfield
would invite those applicants and their
parents, perhaps, to a Sunday afternoon
reception at the home of the alumnus. In
this way, the prospective students would
have the opportunity to meet Wilkes grad
uates in a social setting and discuss vari
ous aspects of the College with them.
Again the College would perform the nec
essary clerical functions in preparing the
invitations, mailings, local publicity, and
so forth. Officials from the College would
also be on hand during the afternoon or
weekday evening to talk with the prospec
tive students. Alumni willing to perform
this service for Wilkes should contact the
Alumni Office.
Alumni Survey Underway
The Office of Alumni Relations, assisted by the Of
fice of Institutional Research at the College, is in the
process of surveying a random sample of BUJC and
Wilkes Alumni. The survey instrument was mailed
in early December to approximately 1,500, or 10%
of the total graduates of the College. Those graduates
were selected from the total alumni file by the com
puter.
The purpose of the 1982-83 Survey is to determine
demographic characteristics of the alumni, along
with attitudes of alumni toward such items as alum
ni activities, the QUARTERLY, and fund-raising ap
proaches. If you are one of those alumni selected to
take part in the survey, you are assured that none of
your responses are personally identifiable. We are
interested only in gathering summary information
about your current status and your feelings for the
College and the Alumni Association. Your participa
tion in the survey, however, is especially important
considering the fact that your response also repre
sents nine other alumni whose names were not sel
ected by the computer.
As responses are returned to the Alumni Office,
the data will be coded and fed into the computer for
tabulation and analysis. The results of the question
naire will then be published in a future issue of the
QUARTERLY for the information of all alumni.
If you received a survey instrument and have not
yet responded, please do so as quickly as possible:
we need your input and advice on the various issues
raised to better serve the entire alumni body, o

Football Team Snaps Losing Streak
The football team snapped its 16-game
losing streak on November 6, when it
convincingly defeated Farleigh
Dickinson University of Madison, 45-6.
The losing streak dated back to
November 13, 1980 when the Colonels
defeated Susquehanna University, 9-7,
closing out the 1980 campaign. At the
time, the 16-game losing streak was the
longest losing streak in NCAA Division
III.
First-year head coach, Bill Unsworth
commented after his first collegiate win,
"Our win over FDU was by a score
similar to those defeats suffered by FDU
at the hands of our conference's football
Latini Captures National Title
Beth Latini, a 17-year-old freshman at
Wilkes, recently captured the American
Amateur Racquetball Association's
National Women's Open Doubles
Championship held in Federal Way,
Washington.
Latini and her partner, Tammy Hajjar,
a sophomore at Marist College in
Poughkeepsie, NY, had captured the
1982 Pennsylvania State Doubles
Championship Women's "A" Division,
earlier this year.
The duo's opponents in the finals were
two local Washington women. Playing in
front of a partisan crowd, the match was
even after the first two games (21-9,
11-21) but Latini and Hajjar captured the
third game tie-breaker, 11-6.
Winning the national championship
qualifies the ladies for the North
American Zone Competition in Montreal
in March and also qualifies them for the
1983 World Games, held in Munich,
Germany, in August.
Latini, a biology major, is a member of
the Lady Colonels volleyball team. A
native of Wayne, PA, she attended
Archbishop John Carroll High School.
She is the daughter of Tony and Nancy
Latini.

powers. This is an indication that
can play good football."
The 4-5 points amassed was the highest
poing total by a Wilkes team since the
1969 season, when the Colonels beat
Dickinson College, 49-0.
The team has set two single game
offensive records: most passes attempted
at 46 versus Susquehanna; and most
passes completed with 22 against
Delaware Valley.
A new individual game record was
established by senior quarterback,
Wayne Lonstein, when he attempted 38
passes against Trenton State.
Now that the "monkey" is off the
team's back, Unsworth and his staff will
continue to build their program with the
most important win under their belt —
the first one.

Wingert appointed as SID
and Soccer Coach
Phil Wingert has been appointed
Sports Information Director and Soccer
Coach at Wilkes.
Wingert holds a Masters Degree in
Athletic Administration from Virginia
Tech and a Bachelor's Degree in
Physical Education from the State
University of New York at Cortland.
Following his graduation from
Cortland State, Wingert served as
Director of Athletics and as a physical
edcuation instructor at Middleburgh
Central School in xMiddleburgh, NY.
Wingert has coaching experience at
both the college and high school levels.
Last year he served as assistant soccer
coach of Virginia Tech's Division I
program.
o
Art Hoover, Associate Dean of Student
Affairs and resident expert on Broadway,
announces that the annual Theater Week
end has been set for March 18-20, 1983.
For just S68 per person, the weekend in
cludes round-trip bus transportation from
Wilkes-Barre to New York City and two
nights lodging at the Edison Hotel (two
persons per room) and baggage handling
(one bag per person).
Interested individuals are asked to send
a non-refundable $15 deposit to Art as
soon as possible — make checks payable
to Wilkes College. Art also advises that
theater tickets should be written for — or
arranged now. As has been the case for
the past several years, it is again likely
that the trip will be an eventual sellout;
Art reminds us that the cost of the trip
would be much higher without the bene
fit of the group rate which he arranges.

Regional Receptions Planned
Attention Floridans —
Watch your mailbox for notices of win
ter receptions planned for the central east
ern (Orlando-Winter Park-Lakeland-Cape
Canaveral), South Eastern (the Miami
areas — Hollywood-Fort Lauderdale), and
western (Tampa-Clearwater-St. Petersburh-Sarasota) areas of Florida. An addi
tional reception may also be held in the
Palm Beach-Delray Beach area.
Other Areas —
In our Fall round of regional receptions,
gatherings were held — or are planned —
in various locations. In Baltimore, for ex
ample, a group of staunch football fans
took in the Wilkes-Johns Hopkins contest,
then reassembled for a dinner meeting
that evening. Alumni in the Lehigh Valley
area of Pennsylvania (Allentown-Bethle
hem-Easton) enjoyed the 50th Anniver
sary slide show and a dinner reception.
With the extent of our various regions,
however, it is not possible for the elected
Regional Vice President to arrange local
get-togethers accessible to all alumni, so
you can help in this effort. For example,
the dozen or so Alumni in the Phoenix,
Arizona area could organize a reception in
their area by just contacting the Alumni
Office and expressing their interest in
such a reunion. The Office will gladly
handle the clerical duties of mailing the
announcements to the alumni, and will
even "Wilkes-up" the party by sending
banners, souvenirs, and other decorations
and informational materials for the occa
sion.
Small-group receptions can be held at
the home of an alumnus, or if the group is
larger, arrangements can be made for a
meeting at a local restaurant. Your inter
est and local knowledge is of vital impor
tance. What a perfect chance to spend
some time reuniting with fellow alumni
and relieve the winter doldrums at the
same time! Call or write the Alumni Of
fice for more details.
Crossword Puzzle Reminder
Remember the Wilkes College Crossword
Puzzle that you received during the sum
mer? The Public Relations Office has al
ready received hundreds of completed
puzzles from alumni and friends of the
College! If you have not yet completed
your puzzle you still have time (until Feb
ruary 28, 1983) to send yours in as a possi
ble prize winner ... If you did not receive
a puzzle (or you lost the original one) send
to the Wilkes PR Office for another one.
Good Luck!

financial aid programs, capable students depend on gifts
from friends and alumni to meet educational costs.

Endowment
Gifts to create endowment funds insure the future of
the College. Unrestricted endowment provides financial
strength to sustain the quality of academic programs.
Restricted endowment provides annual income for
special purposes including memorial scholarships,
funded lecture series and art exhibitions, faculty
salaries, student scholarships within a particular
academic area, and memorial awards. The annual
"Bulletin” of the College lists all such special
endowments and includes a description concerning the
donor and purpose of each fund.

daughters of its employees. Students who
meet the College admissions requirements
are eligible for an annual scholarship
grant of a minimum of $500. Above, Mrs.
Norene Bradshaw (left}, director of
personnel at Metropolitan Wire, talks
with two Wilkes students who are
benefiting from the endowed scholarships.

"planned”), with their full effect unrealized by Wilkes
until some future time. Such gifts may provide tax
advantages and life income for the donor and a second
beneficiary.
Gifts made through wills may be Outright, Charitable
Remainder or Contingency Bequests.
Methods of Planned Giving include the Charitable
Remainder Annuity Trust, Unitrust and Pooled Income
Fund. Gifts of cash, securities, real estate, life insurance,
and valuable collections are used to fund planned gifts.

Extracurricular activities which supplement my education and add
a special personal touch."
Tom Swirbel
Junior — Engineering Major
Mountaintop, Pennsylvania
"While I was in high school I found out that the Wilkes
engineering program was very successful in preparing students
who could satisfy the growing needs of industry. The recent
addition of Engineering Management to the curriculum enabled
me to transfer from Lehigh to Wilkes and finish my degree here
locally."
Jane Natushko
Junior — Elementary Education Major
Jessup, Pennsylvania
"I chose Wilkes College for several reasons. It is small which
enables me to meet many people from varied backgrounds. It
provides a friendly atmosphere in which a person can grow and
become a well-rounded individual. Finally, the faculty and staff
take a personal interest in the needs of each student."
Dave Fife
Junior — Earth & Environmental Sciences Major

One of the reasons why I decided to attend Wilkes is because of
ks high academic standards and its successful track record in the
relatively new field of earth and environmental sciences. Equally

Economic Impact
Update
Wilkes College is in the business of
education. That's obvious. What
may not be quite as obvious is the
fact that Wilkes College contributes
greatly to the economic base of our
region as well as Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
Here are some examples:
• Wilkes College employees are paid in
excess of $5,500,000 annually;
• Services by independent contractors
amount to $1,600,000 per year;
• Utility bills amount to more than
$750,000 each year;
• Students spend approximately half-amillion dollars in the Wyoming Valley
each year;
• Campus visitors add another $200,000
annually for local businesses;
• Maintenance materials purchased
locally add another $300,000 each year
to the local economy;
• Over the past 15 years the College has
poured back into the local economy over
$15,000,000 through refurbishment and
renovation programs as well as new
building construction;
• The Wilkes College annual budget
currently stands at $14,500,000.
Wilkes College is proud of its
tradition as a strong liberal arts
college and the role it plays as a
major economic catalyst to our area.
14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
VVILKES COLLEGE
Character:
An independent, coeducational liberal

some 2,000 feet in altitude. With their
forests, lakes, streams, state parks and
game lands, they offer a wide array of
possibilities for outdoor recreation.

The Wilkes campus is comprised of an
architectural blend of stately 19th
Century buildings and the newest and
most imaginative of modern structures.
A number of buildings have been built
within the last 15 years, while six of
them are on the Pennsylvania Register
of Historic Places, and four are on the
National Register of Historic Places.

HOMECOMING '85 A REAL SUCCESS
AND HOMECOMING '86 PLANS ARE UNDERWAY
Wilkes College celebrated its 38th An
nual Homecoming on October 4, 5 and 6,
when students, faculty and staff were on
hand to welcome hundreds of returning
alumni to campus for the weekend cele
bration.
A special part of this year's festivities
was the honoring of the first graduating
class of the college, (then known as Bucknell University Junior College). This class
of 1935 concluded the weekend with a
gala dinner dance held at the Sheraton
Crossgates in Wilkes-Barre, where they
were honored as the “Golden Colonels,”
and each received a commemorative di
ploma.
While the afterglow is still there, Tony
Shipula is busy planning the next homecoming which will take place on October
17, 18 and 19, 1986. Mark your calendar
and watch for further details.
Shown are the Golden Colonels, from

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING
ARTS CELEBRATES 20th BIRTHDAY
Wilkes College marked the 20th Anni
versary of the Dorothy Dickson Darte
Center for the Performing Arts at the En
core Gala performance on Tuesday, Octo
ber 22 and the John Wilkes Club Dinner
on Wednesday, October 23.
The Encore Gala, an evening of theater
in the Center for the Performing Arts,
showcased many alumni and friends who
had their first taste of theater on the
Wilkes College stage. Performers in
cluded many well-known community
members and other out-of-thc-area peo
ple who are professionally established
from all walks of life, and who have fond
memories of their years spent at Wilkes
College.
The Encore Gala also paid tribute to the
Darte-Darling family, whose support has
contributed significantly to cultural de-
velopment at Wilkes. Dorothy Dickson
Darte was largely responsible for the
building of the Center for the Performing
Arts, but insisted that her contributions
remain anonymous. It was not until after
her death that the Center bore her name.
Following the Encore Gala, Mrs. Darte
and her family were honored by the
Board of Trustees at the John Wilkes Club
Dinner on Wednesday evening. The Cen
ter for the Performing Arts was rededi
cated in the memory of Mrs. Darte's
daughter, Kitty Darling, and grandson,

Annual Report of Gifts

I
A Message from the President
1 able of Contents
_
Dear Friends of Wilkes:
College hopes to emphasize the crucial role ofphilanthropy in college
Private giving to Wilkes College in 1984 reached a total of $1,455,742.92
from 2,762 individuals and organizations. It is worth noting that, tor
planning and comparison purposes, in 1984 Wilkes College began to report
gifts on a calendar-year basis. Thus, annual giving to Wilkes has become
£
coincidential with most individual and business fiscal years.
I want to underscore the challenge and opportunity which annual giving affords to friends
of Wilkes to strengthen the College. Like many other private colleges, Wilkes is heavily
“tuition-dependent. ’’ Approximately 85% of the education budget is funded by tuition. While
not higher than many similar colleges, such dependence on tuition makes your contributions
particularly important in providing additional resources in support of the Wilkes educational
mission. If Wilkes can meet increasing costs by increasing annual and scholarship gift
support, for example, tuition increases can be held down. By stabilizing tuition costs —
already below many better-known, though not necessarily better - quality colleges — Wilkes
can be more attractive to high school seniors and their families. The College can thereby
preserve access to quality higher education for students ofmodest means in Northeast

Pennsylvania and in the neighboring regions.
Your annual gift, then, has the double effect ofhelping the academic budget and the
WILKES COLLEGE
admissions
program.
Special commendations
goes, also, to those responsible for the record established in 1984,
reflecting the help of hundreds ofpeople who gave their interest, time and resources. I would
especially like to thank the volunteers in the Wyoming Valley Campaign for Wilkes, rhe
Alumni Executive Committee, the student and alumni phonathon callers, and the many
members of the College staff and Board of Trustees who encouraged over 2,750 people to
support Wilkes College in 1984.
What lies before us is the challenge ofimproving this record as Wilkes College prepares for
the twenty-first century.
off
The growing support from those closest to the College represents the appreciation and
respect Wilkes enjoys among its alumrn and friends. It is obvious that the quality of the
College s programs is held in high regard. I applaud the desire of those ready to help provide
the financial resources necessary to sustain that quality for new generations of students
With appreciation,
Christopher N. Breiseth
President

“The College is exceedingly
grateful to both of our fine Chairmen
for this excellent record,” President
Christopher N. Breiseth stated, “and
the College is also fortunate to have
such leaders as Frank P. Cuscela ‘58,
who chaired the recent corporate
campaign, and Gilbert D. Tough ‘56,
who is our past chairman of the
alumni phase.”
During the “Campaign 84”
victory meeting, Chairman
Trethaway told an elated audience
of campaign volunteers that the goal
for that campaign was exceeded by
24%, bringing a total of $531,890 in
scholarship assistance for capable
and deserving students. That figure
is included in the overall totals
reported above.
The 1984 Campaign was the final
one under the leadership of Wilkes
President Robert S. Capin, who had
announced his resignation a year
earlier to enter private business. In a
statement to officers and volunteers,
he said, “Your willingness to give of

You might say that annual giving Wais.
founded by Benjamin Franklin. To
finance the academy that is now the
University of Pennsylvania, Franklin
personally pledged £5,000 - - “to be
paid in quotas yearly,” the earliest
known annual giving pledge.
Dedicated support such as Franklin’s
has also been a tradition at Wilkes, from
the day of its founding 1933. Since then,
hundreds of far-sighted persons have
given the financial leadership required to
build a superior College.
While tuition has always been the
primary source of College income,
private gifts have lifted Wilkes to its
current position of educational quality.
Indeed, it is only through the thoughtful
annual giving of many people and
organizations that private higher
education — at Wilkes and nationwide —
is nurtured and advanced. Annual gifts,
particularly in their yearly continuity,
constitute a needs, in fact vital resource
which significantly strengthens the
academic program.
Looking ahead, Wilkes has adopted a
new program of mission, building on the
outstanding quality of the past, Wilkes
now embarks on an intensified plan to
undergird the liberal arts core
curriculum while engaging students in
the quest for knowledge and preparation
for life.
In order to accomplish these ambitious
goals for this decade and beyond, Wilkes
must broaden and improve College gift
support. This is the challenge and the
test. With the continued involvement
and interest of loyal alumni, local
businesses and national corporations,
parents, and other friends of the College,
the goals for the 80’s will be met, and the
tradition which is Wilkes will thrive for
future generations.

The Eugene Farley Club
As the first president, Eugene S. Farley established
ideals for strengthening character and goals of
scholarly excellence which the College has always
endeavored to emulate. These qualities have been
essential to the continued success of Wilkes.
Taking the name of the exemplar whose vitality still
infuses the institution, the Gene Farley Club is also
an essential part of Wilkes College. Resources given
by Club members, in the form of gifts of $100 to
$999, provide a critical margin of assistance insuring
that Wilkes retains its position as an outstanding,
private, liberal arts college.
Membership in the Farley Club is open each year

�Student/Faculty Research at
Wilkes Coltegje
Then and Now (1950-1986)
Wilkes College students in a biology laboratory ofthe early 1950’s.
An article entitled, “Science Studies Thrive at Small Colleges,’
appeared in the June 18th edition of the New York Times and
focused on a conference held at Oberlin College. Forty-eight
representatives from liberal arts schools met there to discuss
the various successful science programs involving
faculty-directed research for undergraduate students.
4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
These programs were designed
specifically to give students the practical
experience so essential to their
development as future scientists. Wilkes
College was not represented, a fact that
disturbed Dr. Sheldon Cohen, M.D. and
a former member of the biology faculty at
Wilkes. Dr. Cohen, who is now director
of the Immunology, Allergic, and
Immunologic Disease Program at the
National Institute of Health in Bethesda,
Maryland said, "As I read the article with
so much emphasis placed on the
perceived newness of the concept, yes, I
was disturbed. I had the feeling that they
were reinventing the wheel at Oberlin.
This kind of research began at Wilkes
College in 1953 when, with a lot of
enthusiasm and a little seed money, Dr.
Chuck Reif and I and later Dr. Francis
Michelini put together just such a
program.”
Dr. Cohen reminisced about those early
days. In the second floor of a converted
carriage house behind Conyngham Hall,
the three biology professors set up
laboratories and started an ambitious
program of faculty-directed student
projects in bio-medical research.
According to Cohen, the National
Institute of Health provided a series of
small grants ($880 to $1,400), which
supported the beginning of the model for
research at Wilkes.
It wasn’t long before the program
attracted the attention of the Veterans
Administration, the Northeast Chapter of
the American Heart Association, and the
then newly created National Science
Foundation, all of whom recognized and
supported the development of the
designated undergraduate student
projects. Thus, according to Dr. Cohen,
in the early 1950’s bio-medical research
evolved in a most improbable setting —
small liberal arts college in Northeastern
Pennsylvania and, “Wilkes College,”
Cohen said, “found a new source of
pride.”
Today counted among the Wilkes
alumni who participated in the program
are research immunologists, biologists,
bio-chemists, and American Board
certified specialists in pathology, internal
medicine, pediatrics, allergy and
immunology, and public health, all of
whom hold academic positions and/or are
engaged in clinical practice. Included in
this prestigious group are three
chairpersons of medical schools: Dr.
Leslie Weiner ’57, who is chairperson of
the Department of Neurology, University
of California; Dr. Thomas Saba ’63,
Chairman, Albany Medical College; and
Dr. Martin Tansy ’60, dean. Temple
University School of Dentistry. There is
Dr. William Davis '67, who is head of
allergy at Columbia University Medical
Center; Dr. Doris Bartuska ’49, director
of the Division of Endocrinology and
Metabolism at the Medical College of
Pennsylvania; Dr. William F. Raub '61,
deputy director of the National Institute
of Health; and Dr. Catherine DeAngelis
’65, professor of pediatrics at Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine. There are
many more according to Dr. Cohen, "Far
too many to list here.”
It is interesting to note that the three
pioneering professors have an impressive
history, too. Dr. Cohen, in his role at the
NIH, heads one of the most prestigious
research facilities in the nation. Dr.
Francis J. Michelini was to advance to
the presidency ofWilkes College and
serve as its C.E.O, until accepting his
present position as president for the
Commission for Independent Colleges
and Universities. Dr. Chuck Reif chose to
stay on at Wilkes College as chairman of
the department he helped to establish
until he retired as professor emeritus in
biology in 1985.
Cohen, still speculating on why Wilkes
wasn’t at the Oberlin conference, decided
to contact his former colleague, “It was
wonderfully reassuring to hear from
Chuck Reif that a program of
opportunities for faculty-directed
research with undergraduate students, is
alive and well at Wilkes. This was
confirmed by Dr. Lester Turoczi,
chairman of the Wilkes Biology
Department, who noted that the Oberlin
conference was intended for schools with
a high percentage of students going on to
Ph.D. programs, while the highest
percentage ofWilkes students go on to
medical schools. We’ve continued in the
same tradition,” he said, “however, the
emphasis is changed as the needs of
society and the marketplace has
changed.”
“The methodology we use is aimed at
equipping the student with a critical eye,
enabling them to interpret experimental
design. We introduce them to the jargon
of science so that they can read and
evaluate. They are taught to prepare
manuscripts in conventional scientific
format.”
The department has continued in the
tradition and has added to the hands-on
experience in the labs, and according to
Turoczi, the students’ self-image is
enhanced each year when they attend the
Eastern Colleges Science Conference,
"Our students, at this conference, are
among presenters from all of the
prestigious colleges in the eastern United
States. Each year they come away feeling
that they are well qualified to function as
independent researchers because of their
education and experience here at Wilkes
College." This year, ninety percent of
these students were accepted to medical
schools across the nation.
The tradition does continue and the list
ofWilkes College alumni who influence
the health care of a nation will also
continue to grow.

“Faculty sabbaticals provide
learning experiences valuable to
both professors and students.”
ON FACULTY
Dr. James DeCosmo
Although most sabbaticals are
taken by professors in order to
pursue independent interests, Dr.
James DeCosmo, professor of
Mathematics, spent his sabbatical
time differently. From fall, 1983, to
spring, 1984, DeCosmo enrolled in an
intensive Computer and Information
Science program at the State
University of New York at
Binghamton (SUNY).
DeCosmo’s sabbatical was one of
the first steps toward developing a
faculty retraining focus at Wilkes
College. Faculty retraining provides
professors with an opportunity to
investigate new developments in their
areas of expertise, which can then be
incorporated into the Wilkes College
curriculum. DeCosmo’s goal was to
gain a broad perspective on computer
use in business. He could then utilize
this perspective in building a new
program at the College — Computer
Information Systems (CIS), instituted
this fall.
When he first enrolled at SUNY,
DeCosmo found himself in the midst
of a drastically different experience.
As a professor, he was accustomed to
teaching such subjects as applied
mathematics, calculus, and beginning
computer science. As a student, he
enrolled in courses in Pascal, Cobol,
File Management, and Data Base. In
order to focus on the growing role of
computers outside the field of
mathematics, he was also exposed to
graduate MBA coursework at SUNY.
It was this marriage of mathematics,
computer science, and business
information that he feels gave a
direction appropriate for the CIS
program at Wilkes.
DeCosmo views his work at SUNY
as “an invaluable opportunity to
investigate the computer as a tool in
new areas.” Although the academic
demands placed on him during a
short period of time left him with
little else to do but study, he does not
6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Dr. Owen D. Faut
see this as a negative aspect of his
experience. Says he, “the intellectual
challenge was very demanding — as
much as any math coursework I have
taken.”
Now that his sabbatical is
complete, DeCosmo is anxious to
utilize his knowledge in building the
new CIS program here at Wilkes.
Before studying at SUNY, he
considered the computer as an
important resourse for mathematics.
Now that he has gained an
appreciation for computer
applications in a variety of fields, he
is eager to pass this perspective on to
his students. In his view, the CIS
program, which features less technical
and mathematical computer courses
and more business and management,
gives liberal arts and business majors
an idea of the computer’s potential,
not just its detailed workings.
Due to the highly progressive
nature of the computer field, the
introduction of a CIS program into
the Wilkes curriculum is a timely one.
DeCosmo hopes that the course he is
currently teaching, “C.S. 115:
Computer Information Science,” will
be the first step in an exciting new
opportunity for non-computer science
majors at the college. He is far
sighted in his hopes for the program,
envisioning further opportunities for
educating area businesses and
professionals in computer
applications. He stresses, however,
“Our first obligation is to our
students. The CIS program will show
them that, while computers are only
tools, they have incredible potential
in all creative work.”
During the 1981-82 academic year,
Dr. Owen D. Faut, professor of
chemistry at Wilkes College, spent a
sabbatical at the Lewis Research
Center, Cleveland, Ohio. For one
year, he conducted intensive studies
in tribology, the science of friction,
lubrication, and wear.
Faut’s sabbatical came about as a
result of earlier research he had done
on tricresyl phosphate (TCP), a liquid
lubricant additive. TCP is known as
an anti-wear or extreme pressure
additive, which causes a coating to
form on a metal’s surface. This
coating helps to prevent wear on the
metal, thus making machinery last
longer. Although the implications of
such a substance to industry are
obvious, the United States
government does not currently
support tribology research. In fact,
there is only one United States facility
dedicated solely to fundamental
lubrication studies — the Lewis
Research Center.
In 1981, Faut applied for and was
awarded a National Research Council
Senior Associateship, a post-doctoral
position sponsored by the National
Academy of Sciences, in Washington,
D.C. Since he had spent two previous
summers as a member of the
lubrication fundamentals group at the
Goddard Space Center, his expertise
earned him an invitation to the Lewis
Research Center. Faut and his family
relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where
they lived and studied from August,
1981 to August, 1982.
During his year at Lewis, Faut’s
research on TCP earned him
professional and scientific acclaim.
One of his papers, “On The
Mechanism of Lubrication by TCP —
The Coefficient of Friction,” was
presented at the National meeting of
the Society of Lubrication Engineers,
October, 1982, and was published in
the society’s journal, Transactions. A
second paper, “The Adsorption and
Thermal Decomposition of TCP on
Iron and Gold” was published in
Applications of Surface Science in
1984. This work, co-authored by
Donald R. Wheeler, a Lewis Research
Center physicist, was nominated by
the tribology branch at Lewis for its
prestigious paper of the year
competition. Faut also co-authored a
paper with Donald H. Buckley, an
internationally recognized tribology
expert, which is slated for publication
by NASA.
Although Faut’s sabbatical ended
in August, 1982, he was invited back
to the Lewis Research Center in the
summers of 1983 and 1984. At the
conclusion of this fellowship, he was
asked to continue his work at Lewis,
but returned to Wilkes College for
personal and professional reasons.
Faut feels that his experience at the
Lewis Research Center was valuable
to himself and to Wilkes College
students. He is still conducting TCP
studies here, and has made valuable
contacts for several Wilkes students.
Two Wilkes College graduates have
already begun graduate research in
tribology, and an undergraduate
student has received an internship at
the Goddard Space Center to conduct
lubrication studies. Faut is also
excited at the implications of his own
research, saying, “If we understand
the mechanism by which TCP works,
there are other additives whose
mysteries can be unlocked — we can
attack them more knowledgeably.
TCP is almost the foundation to this
research, and we are on the way to
solving the mystery.”

Responding to a
Changing World
Dr. Robert Ogren
When Dr. Robert Ogren, professor
of biology, was granted a sabbatical
leave, he did not apply for a
fellowship at a large university or
travel to a foreign country. Instead,
he chose to spend his sabbatical at
the institution best suited to his own
research purposes — Wilkes College.
Ogren, a parasitologist of
international reputation, conducted
his research using resources available
at the Farley Library and the Wilkes
biology laboratories.
Ogren is known to Wilkes students
as an instructor of cytology, the study
of the structure and function of cells.
But he is best known in the science
world as an expert on the land
planarian. Planarians are minute,
flattened soft-bodied worms.
Although they usually exist in aquatic
environments, land planarians, as the
name suggests, are terrestrial
organisms. Native species are found
living above the ground during warm
seasons. Exotic species, often
originating in soils in greenhouses and
hothouses, may also make their way
into the environment if climatic
conditions are favorable. Ogren has
been instrumental in locating and
identifying many of the land
planarian species in the United States,
and has aided research in other areas
of the globe. During his sabbatical,
he collaborated with colleagues in
India and Japan on manuscripts he
hopes to publish on the land
planarians of India.
Although Wilkes College served as
the home base for Ogren’s research,
he managed to find time to travel to
pursue his studies. He visited the
American Museum of Natural
History in New York on two
occasions, consulting key references
and examining specimens in the
museum's collection. In fact, because
he is considered one of the foremost
researchers of the land planarian, the
museum loaned him several
8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
i
specimens, which he brought back to
Wilkes for more intensive analysis.
Later in his sabbatical, he traveled to
England, Scotland, and Wales, where
he formed contacts with scientists at
the University of Manchester and the
Natural History Museum in London.
During his final week abroad, he was
a guest at the Third International
Congress on Systematic and
Evolutionary Biology at Sussex
University Campus in Brighton,
England.
When asked to name the most
rewarding aspects of his sabbatical,
Ogren mentions a variety of topics,
from presenting his research at the
spring meeting of the Pennsylvania
Academy of Science, to reading and
programming his new personal
computer. But undoubtedly the most
exciting work he accomplished was
the identification of a new species of
land planarian, now designated as
Bipalium n.sp. Hl. Ogren discovered
the species in Pennsylvania, and
began to compare it to similar
organisms in the United States and
Japan. When the new Bipalium did
not fit any existing descriptions, he
and other specialists became
convinced that his was a species that
had not been previously identified.
An article describing the organism in
detail has now been submitted for
publication in a scientific journal. If
the article is published and no one
comes forward to dispute it, Ogren’s
land planarian will be confirmed as a
new species.
It would seem to some that Ogren
accomplished a great deal during his
leave, considering the fact that he
decided to remain at Wilkes. But he
does not see his decision as anything
less than a profitable one. As he puts
it, “Everything I needed was here —
the library, the equipment, the
facilities. The real value of such a
sabbatical was that the college
provided me with the time to do my
work. The bonus was that they also
provided the resources.” Of course, it
is only fitting that the resources
available at Wilkes should benefit a
man who is, himself, one of our most
valuable scientific resources.
®
Enrollment in the graduate classes
at Wilkes College is higher this year,
Spring of 1986, than it has been since
the inception of the program in 1959.
This announcement was made
recently by Mahmoud H. Fahmy,
Dean of the Graduate Division. “We
are pleased and proud of course, but
we are not surprised. The expansion
of the graduate level curriculum has
been carefully designed to meet the
needs of a changing society.”
Curriculum for the graduate division,
according to Dr. Fahmy, is based on
a close monitoring of societal change,
which will affect the needs of the
community at large. These needs have
been manifested recently in the areas
of health, education, business,
industry, and governmental agencies
dealing with the environment.
Accordingly, Fahmy initiated new
plans to meet the needs indicated. To
its already broad degree granting
program, three new degrees have been
added to the list: The Masters in
Health Administration (M.H.A.), the
Masters in Electrical Engineering, and
soon to be offered is the Masters in
Engineering and Applied Sciences. In
addition, it has extended its Masters
in Business Administration (M.B.A.)
to Allentown where the response was
immediate and overwhelming.
In discussing the Masters in Health
Administration, he said, “The
M.H.A. was established to provide
effective and skillful managers in the
field of health care delivery. Our
program is the only one providing
access and opportunity to
professionals in the field, which
allows them to pursue graduate study.
We have a current enrollment of well
over one hundred candidates whose
membership include doctors, dentists,
and health care executives.
The M.B.A. program has
maintained high enrollment on the
campus and its excellent reputation
caught the interest of administrators
at St. Francis de Sales College in
Allentown. Its President, Father
Daniel G. Gambet, contacted Dean
Fahmy to ask if Wilkes would
consider making the degree available
to Lehigh Valley residents by offering
it at the Allentown campus. Fahmy
said, “Of course, we were delighted
to investigate the possibility. Now,
several months into the program, we
have formed a close affiliation with
St. Francis de Sales and the degree is
sought by nearly three hundred
people.” In addition to all of this,
Wilkes graduate division is serving
teachers and educators throughout
the state of Pennsylvania by assisting
them to develop, through workshops
and seminars, more effective methods
of teaching and administration skills.
These courses are offered in
affiliation with Performance Learning
Systems (PLS).
One of the most important new
offerings is the Masters in Electrical
Engineering. Fahmy said, “In this
highly technological society, this
degree is so very significant and
necessary. It has been said that
‘Engineers invent everything and we
use everything they invent,’ and this
degree has double impact. In addition
to serving the needs dictated by the
region, it will also assist the region of
Northeastern Pennsylvania in
attracting industry.”
Approval is pending for the M.S.
in Engineering and Applied Sciences.
The engineering degrees firmly
establish Wilkes College as the center
for engineering and applied sciences
in the northeast Pennsylvania area.
Asked about the future plans for
the division, Dean Fahmy said he sees
the need for the graduate programs
developing in the areas of computer
science, nursing, and environmental
education. Under Fahmy’s direction,
it is safe to conclude that the Wilkes
College graduate division will indeed
meet the needs of Northeastern
Pennsylvania in education at the
graduate level and will become a
resource for a nation in need of
highly qualified professionals.

�Wilkes College Music
From Baroque to Jazz
A Chamber Ensemble
There’s an old New England
anecdote that says, “If you don’t like
the weather, just wait — it’ll
change.” That line can easily be
adapted to the musical performances
at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center
for the Performing Arts. In a given
week, the Wilkes College Percussion
Ensemble may open its season, but if
jazz is more to your tastes, wait until
the next week when the Wilkes Jazz
Band performs. Of course, the week
after that, the Cap and Bell Singers
will treat you to vocal music, and the
Wind Ensemble will present
contemporary music or selections
adapted for concert bands. Over the
next few months, you can hear
chamber music, a full orchestra, and
even music theater — all presented by
the Wilkes College Department of
Music.
The list of performance
organizations within the department
covers the musical spectrum from
baroque to jazz. Included are the
chorus, orchestra, Wind Ensemble,
Jazz Ensemble, Music Theater, Wind
Quintet, Brass Quintet, Vocal and
Instrumental Chamber Ensembles,
Contemporary Music Ensemble,
10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Chamber Players, Percussion
Ensemble, and Cap and Bell Singers.
All groups offer concert
performances free of charge,
providing the opportunity for
audiences to hear, and students to
perform, a wide variety of music.
Such diversity on stage has its roots
in an equally diverse curriculum that
provides an immense range of
opportunities for all music majors.
When the music program switched
from the Bachelor of Arts and
Bachelor of Sciences degrees to the
Bachelor of Music degree, the music
requirement jumped from 50 credits
to 80 credits. Those extra 30 credits
can be used to pursue individual
interests in applied performance
studies, theory, historical analysis,
literature, methods, and large and
small ensembles. Students are also
offered exposure to internationally
famous musicians through guest
concert performances and workshops.
The result of such a broad
educational experience is a musician
who is prepared for many options
upon graduation, from symphonic
playing to teaching to music
publishing.
According to Jerome Campbell,
Chairman of the Department of
Music, “Our strength lies in the fact
that we offer exposure to a range of
musical opportunities and styles that
is unique for a small institution. At
the same time, we maintain a very
personal attitude toward our
musicians, as our seven to one
student/faculty ratio allows for
individual attention to all students. In
an age of mass-produced mediocrity,
we still believe in hand-crafted
quality, and we try to produce that
quality in our music program.”
The records of the department’s
graduates support this belief, as the
department boasts success stories in
as many areas of music as they
pursue. Some of the brightest stars
who credit their early training to
Wilkes music are:
Ed Yadzinski ’62, clarinetist and
saxophonist, performs with the
Buffalo Symphony Orchestra. He is
also a member of the music faculty at
the State University of New York.
Thomas Hrynkiw ’63, is a concert
pianist and solo recording artist. He
accompanies many of the world’s
great instrumentalists on recordings
“It’s the training beyond the
education that made my time at
Wilkes worth the effort. ”
for the Musical Heritage Society
label.
Richard Probert ’64, is now Dean
of The School of the Arts, State
University of New York at
Plattsburg.
Marty Hurley ’68, a renowned
percussionist, teaches, performs, and
serves as a clinician for the Ludwig
Drum Company.
Christine Donahue ’74, soprano,
was a finalist in the Pavarotti contest
and a winner of the Metropolitan
Opera Auditions. She sings with the
opera companies of Houston,
Wilmington, and Annapolis.
In addition to these outstanding
individuals already established in the
field, there are rising musical stars
who hold undergraduate degrees from
the Wilkes Music Department.
Among last year’s graduating class
are musicians engaged in areas from
graduate study to studio teaching. In
all, one hundred percent of the class
of 1985 is now placed in the field.
The variety of careers being pursued
Jazz Great — Milt Henton and student
The Brass Ensemble
by the graduates is consistent with the
versatility of the department and is
evident from the achievements of just
a handful of these students:
Mary Beth Zuvich, a soprano
attending the University of North
Carolina, and Pamela Bricker, a
clarinetist at the University of Ohio,
are currently teaching assistants.
Maureen McDermott, flutist, and
Michael Pryor, saxophonist, are
pursuing performance studies at
Syracuse University and the Peabody
Conservatory, respectively. And Roy
Clark, organist, majors in early music
and baroque instruments at the New
England Conservatory.
When speaking on the value of the
Wilkes music program, these students
invariably mention the broad
experience they enjoyed in their
musical training and education.
According to Clark, “The diverse
musical foundation that Wilkes
offered me enabled me to be accepted
at one of the best conservatories in
the country. I’ve found the training
to be invaluable in developing my
instrumental work, but just as
important to me were the extensive
music history courses. 1 can’t say
enough about how they gave me both
the knowledge and direction to
pursue a somewhat unusual major —
baroque instruments.”
Michael Pryor also notes the
significance of a diverse musical
foundation to his graduate studies.
“It’s the training beyond the
education that made my time at
Wilkes worth the effort. Not only can
I play my instrument with confidence,
I can go beyond that. The range of
experience I had at Wilkes has made
me capable of appreciating the
talents, needs, and situations of
others. That kind of insight is a
definite asset in my position as
manager of The Wind Ensemble at
Peabody.”
Obviously, it is the versatility and
depth of a Wilkes music education
that distinguishes it in the minds of
graduate students, outstanding
performers, and eminent educators.
But this point comes as no surprise to
the thousands of afficianados who
attend Wilkes concerts each year.
They have come to count on Wilkes
as a center for all kinds of music. So,
if you’re looking for a change, just
wait — Wilkes music will provide
one. But don’t expect one thing to
change — the quality of a Wilkes
College music education.

A recent exhibition in the Sordoni Art Gallery, entitled Vale of Wyoming: Nineteenth
Century Images from Campbell’s Ledge To Nanticoke, generated so much interest
that hours were extended to accommodate guests.
The exhibit, supported in part by a grant from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts,
included paintings, prints, illustrations and ceramics, which gave visitors a visual
perspective of what Wyoming Valley was during the early part of the 19th century.
The following excerpt is by Judith O’Toole, Director of the Sordoni Gallery.

Edmund Lovell Dana, View of Wyoming Valley and Wilkes-Barre from the West End ofRoss Hill,
c. 1866, wood engraving. 3 ux6
Since the seventeenth century, the
Wyoming Valley of Northeastern
Pennsylvania (roughly encompassing the
area from Nanticoke in the Southwest to
Pittston in the Northeast) has been cited
as an area of extraordinary natural
beauty1. Poets, writers, and artists have
drawn inspiration from this scenic green
valley and its colorful Indian history.
The last glacier age formed the
picturesque bluffs and narrows that now
mark the Wyoming Valley. Ironically, the
great ice masses were also responsible for
shearing off the mountain heights, which,
in the middle of the nineteenth century,
would make anthracite more accessible to
mine. During the course of the nineteenth
century, industry changed the primeval
paradise that was the Wyoming Valley to
reflect the modem, technological
industry which took advantage of its
natural resources.
Artists and w'riters w ere not the only
ones inspired by the grandeur of the
Wyoming Valley. The journals of
soldiers, scientists, and travellers tell of
their reactions to its beauty. In the 1790s.
Issac Weld, Jr. (historian and author)
noted that the mountains almost always
face wide plains across the Susquehanna
River but “during the course of one mile,
you will perceive more than a dozen
different changes from one side to the
other,” mountains switching with plains
to create a variety of picturesque views.
Weld continued, saying “At every bend
the prospect varies . . . [with] scarcely a
spot.. . where the painter would not find
a subject worthy of his pencil .”
Jacob Cist’s views showing the falls of
Solomon's Creek were reproduced in The
Port Folio in 1809. These show the
pristine, unspoiled beauty of the area.
Cist was a scientist and inventor as well
as an artist and, as early as 1813, he and
14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
two painters leased the Lehigh Coal Mine
property near Mauch Chunk where he
was responsible for the first river
shipment of anthracite. Therefore, while
he had recorded the early beauty of
Northeastern Pennsylvania in his
drawings, his scientific researches
demonstrated the variety of uses for
anthracite — leading to the industry
which gradually changed the area’s
topography.
Baldwin Brower’s view of the bridge at
Wilkes-Barre in 1823 shows the charm of
this bustling community set in the
picturesque Wyoming Valley. The bridge,
horse-drawn carriage, and workmen
indicate the prosperity of commerce in
the area. The people walking in the
foreground lend an air of gentility and
civilization to the scene while the view
into the mountains reminds us that the
surrounding land was still largely
unsettled.
William H. Bartlett's views, The
Descent into the Valley of Wyoming (as
seen from Campbell’s Ledge), and
Wilkes-Barre, Vale of Wyoming, both
published in N. P. Willis’ American
Scenery (London, 1840), were copied
innumerable times for a variety of
publications. Both show the splendor of
the mountains and the charm of the valley
city and river.
By the time that Jasper Francis Cropsey
visited the area in 1865 and completed
studies for his mural-sized view, Valley of
Wyoming, the valley was dotted with the
smoke stacks of industry even though,
overall, it retained its bucolic look.
Cropsey shows a coal breaker, the canal,
and other symbols of industrialization,
but also shows a farm and the dramatic
cliffs of Campbell’s Ledge. On the gilded
frame are inscribed verses from
Campbell’s poem, “Gertrude of
Wyoming.” which emphasize the pastoral
beauty and goodness of the valley.
By the twentieth century, the industrial
developments of the nineteenth century
showed visibly on the landscape of the
Wyoming Valley. No longer were its
people able to maintain the balance
between natural paradise and industrial
center.
Artist's renderings show this
development more clearly than any
written accounts. The exhibition shows
nineteenth century images within the
geographic boundaries of Campbell’s
Ledge and the city of Nanticoke. The
works were drawn from public and
private collections, including the
Wyoming Historical and Geological
Society. Paintings and prints from the
Gilbert S. McClintock Collection of the
Eugene Shedden Farley Library at Wilkes
College will be exhibited, many for the
first time outside the library.
More than any other exhibition, this
one has been the effort of many people.
Vale of Wyoming: Nineteenth Century
Images from Campbell's Ledge to
Nanticoke was the vision of Annie Bohlin
and Charles Petrillo, who suggested the
idea a year ago and agreed to locate and
select the works. Their perseverance and
love of the subject is reflected in the
exhibition and in this catalog. I would
like to thank them more specifically for
their individual roles: Charlie for his
essay which gives a historical perspective
to the objects, and Annie for her catalog
design. Together, we would like to thank
Roger Stein for coming through with an
enlightening essay with just a few
months’ notice. We are also indebted to
Kathleen Luhrs of The Metropolitan
Museum of Art in New York for
information on J. F. Cropsey and to
David McCarthy of the University of
Delaware for helpful insights on Paul
Weber. Much of what we have done could
not have been possible without the
groundwork laid by Gilbert S.
McClintock in his Valley Views of
Northeastern Pennsylvania (The
Wyoming Historical and Geological
Society, Wilkes-Barre, 1948) and George
G. Raddin, Jr. in his “Painting in
Wyoming Valley 1808-1957” (a series of
articles for the Sunday Independent,
Wilkes-Barre, reproduced in the Catalog
ofthe Edward Welles, Jr. Collection,
compiled by Mary Barrett and published
by King’s College, 1974). As always, we
are deeply grateful for the loans made
available to us. We particularly thank
Burt Logan, Executive Director of the
Wyoming Historical and Geological
Society, and P. Robert Paustian, Director
of the E.S. Farley Library, Wilkes
College.
Speech, Communications, and
Theater Arts —
Wilkes Introduces a New Discipline
David Tucker is the new chairman
of a new department (Speech,
Communications, and Theater Arts) but
he hasn’t acted like “the new professor
on the block,” since arriving on campus
in September. 1985.
He had definite plans for his fledgling
department and all the experience
necessary to implement the plans. Tucker
recognized the challenge he accepted
when he made the decision to come to
Wilkes as chairman of the new discipline.
He said in an October interview, “There
is much to be done, but I’m looking
forward to it. We have great facilities, an
enthusiastic faculty with good
credentials, and we are all looking
forward to the challenge.”
Tucker set his priorities early with
plans for a complete revision of
curriculum. “We've spent the entire fall
semester revising our course offerings.
Consultants are now reviewing the
changes and the Faculty Curriculum
Committee will examine it after that.”
One thing that becomes obvious in
conversation is that Tucker will build into
that curriculum a combination of
classroom and hands-on experience for
Dr. David Tucker
students, he said, “Our students will
benefit enormously from the
sophisticated equipment and labs Wilkes
offers its communications majors. They
will be able to translate classroom theory
into practical experience in the theater, in
radio, and in television.”
The facilities to which Tucker refers
are a fully equipped 500-seat professional
theater with complete design and lighting
capacities (The Dorothy Dickson Darte
Center for the Performing Arts), a 2,000
watt FCC approved radio station WCLH,
and television labs which provide
state-of-the-art equipment. “This is
unusual in undergraduate institutions,”
Tucker said. “Students rarely have this
available until their senior year. Our
students will be working in the second
semester of their freshman year in these
professional environments.”
Tucker, who holds both the M.A. and
Ph.D. from Bowding Green State
University, has a broad background in all
aspects of communications including
on-air performance, college teaching,
and industrial research experience. His
writings in this field range from
commercials, to journal articles, to

was his interest in research that led him
out of the classroom at James Madison
University' in Virginia (where he taught
13 different courses ranging from
broadcast history, to audience analysis, to
audio production) to serve as senior
research project manager at Arbitron
Ratings Company in Laurel, Maryland.
There he was responsible for improving
survey procedures, testing and analysis,
and recommending changes based on test
results. The job also entailed “a large
amount of writing.”
It was a challenging and rewarding
career, yet Tucker found he missed “the
college atmosphere and the students, and
he wanted a different challenge.” He
decided to return to the atmosphere he
missed.
With the experience he’s acquired both
in academe and in industry, it’s obvious
that the new professor on the block knows
his way around the block. Through the
strong leadership he provides and the
strong faculty he leads, Wilkes College
communications majors will have a

Dear Wilkes Alumni,
As you read through this edition of the Quarterly, you will see only a sampling ol the
many things happening here at Wilkes. We were faced with space limitations, forcing us
to select among the many newsworthy happenings to share with you.
I call your attention to the dramatic growth of graduate studies (page 9). Wilkes now
offers master’s degrees in health administration and electrical engineering, and the
response ot students has been most positive. Student/Faculty research, always a
feature of the Wilkes education, continues (page 4). The spirit ot professional
development among faculty, as reported in the Chronicle olHigher Education, is crucial
<=
to the College's institutional vitality (page 6). I hope these examples suggest the vibrancy on campus.
What we can do today to improve the quality of teaching and learning at Wilkes will help assure the College's
long-term success in the highly competitive environment of American higher education. One of the most
important issues challenging us at present is a five-year effort to revise the core curriculum in response to the
changing needs of students preparing for the twenty-first century. We are drawing on the best from our excellent
faculty to complete this task because nothing will have greater impact on the future of Wilkes College than the
quality of its liberal arts and sciences core curriculum, complementing the strong professional and
pre professional degree programs which attract many of our students.
I have heard from many ot you with sound suggestions and insights for our future development. Such
communication is not only gratifying, it is exhilarating as a sign of how much you value the education you
received at Wilkes and how much you want the College to go from strength to strength. Please continue to stay
in touch.
In our continuing effort to make your relationship with the College mutually beneficial, we have decided, in
consultation with the Executive Committee of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, to give children of alumni a
10% discount on tuition at the undergraduate level. To be eligible, students must meet Wilkes' academic
requirements for admission, whether as incoming freshmen or as students transferring from other institutions.
Dependents now at Wilkes are also included. To be considered dependents, your son or daughter must meet the
standards defined by the Internal Revenue Service. You will soon receive a letter from Beverly Hiscox, the new
President of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, giving you more details about how your children may apply
for the discount. Call our Admissions Office right away if you are interested for this coming academic year.
In the weeks ahead, I will be on the road to visit as many of you in the various chapters as possible. The dates
confirmed for March are: March 5 in New York, March 17 in San Diego, March 19 in Los Angeles, March 20 in
San Francisco. There will be other meetings in our own Northeast and East Central Pennsylvania area. Tony
Shipula, the Director of Alumni Relations, will alert alumni in advance ot my visits of the details for our meeting. I
look forward to seeing many of you.
Your demonstration of interest in Wilkes and your readiness to be identified with your alma mater will help
those of us charged with maintaining and strengthening this tine college to do our jobs.

Although the season has passed and
snow covers Ralston Field, it is hard for
us to forget the 38th Annual
Commencement of 1985. One of the
people who made this occasion so
memorable was Dale R. Corson, eminent
physicist and President Emeritus of
Cornell University, who delivered the
address to the graduating class. At
commencement ceremonies, Corson
received the Doctor of Science honorary
degree from Wilkes College.
Dr, Corson, a 1’h.D. in Physics from
the University of California, is n recipient
of tin Air Force Commendation and the
Presidential Certificate of Merit, and is
listed in Who’s Who In Aniei icn,
Amerlcim Men mid Women of Science.
Lenders In Edncntimi, and The
Intel imtlomd Who’s Who.
The following is an exeeipl from his
elinige to the Class of I OKS;
"In Antoine de St, Fxiipery’s story, D:.

I'rinee;'(hie must observe the piopei

'Those are actions too often neglected,'
replies the fox. 'They are what makes one
day different from other days, one hour
from other hours.'
"And so it is with Commencement.
Today is a punctuation in our lives. It is a
day that sets apart a portion ofour liv es
now ended from a portion about to begin.
So let us celebrate this rite, this
Commencement, and enjoy it.

by Melissa Meyers
Madison Avenue advertising executives
seem to be spending a lot of time on Wall
Street these days, sending out messages
about the fast-paced business world and
the crunch of technology on the modernday business office. All of this talk can be
a bit overwhelming to the student of
business and economics — after all, just
what does this rapidly changing field
expect from today’s graduate?
According to Theodore Engel. Dean of
the School of Business and Economics,
the answer is easily obtained by keeping
in touch with the business world, and
listening to its expectations. This is what
members of the business and economics
programs at Wilkes have done for years,
and these days, they’re receiving
surprising information. Today’s business
leaders expect from students precisely
what yesterday's did — proficiency in
their chosen specialization, but with a
strong foundation in liberal arts and an
eye to the future.
4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
These expectations spell good news to
students in the new School of Business
and Economics, since a strong liberal arts
foundation, topped off by professional
level training in the areas of Accounting,
Business Administration, and
Economics, and interdisciplinary
ventures such as Computer Information
Systems and Engineering Management is
precisely what the School has to offer.
And the advent of the new school
structure, notes Engel, provides the
perfect forum within which the balance of
traditional education and contemporary
business training can be reached.
Although maintaining a liberal arts
tradition in the face of a changing society
may seem contradictory, Engel notes that
a sound knowledge of business practices
today proves otherwise. “In a day when
people are concerned with landing that
first job, receiving that first paycheck,
Wilkes has moved beyond that. We have
already proven our ability to place our
graduates in the field (last year, the
Accounting Department alone boasted
nearly a 100% success rate for graduates
entering the job market), and we are now
concerned with producing a well-rounded
human being that is flexible and
proficient enough to move beyond that
first position into top management.
“The importance of developing as a
person is not being ignored at Wilkes; nor
is it being ignored by business schools
across the country. There is a general
trend at work here; a trend that
recognizes the individual. And of course,
the individualism of each student that
enters Wilkes has always been of
paramount importance.”
In capitalizing on this national trend,
Engel sees the role of the School of
Business and Economics as presenting a
myriad of opportunities to the student,
but letting him or her choose which
opportunities to take. It is a matter of
motivating the students in the right
direction, preparing them to take that
direction, and supporting them in their
endeavors. But, even as the school
remains faithful to the liberal arts
tradition, the wealth of opportunities
available in a growing market must effect
change within the Business and
Economics curriculum.
Among the most noticeable curricular
changes at the School of Business and
Economics is the integration of
microcomputers into academic programs
at the introductory level; admittedly, a
move to “keep current with technology’s
influence on business.” However, even as
the business world recognizes the value
of technology, many technical fields are
recognizing the value of business skills in
effective management. The School of
Business and Economics plays an active
role in programs at the College of Arts
and Sciences and the School of
Engineering and Physical Sciences,
which answer the call of these technical
fields on business.
One such program, developed in a
cooperative effort between the College of
Arts and Sciences and the School of
Business and Economics, is the
Computer and Information Systems
(C.I.S.) major. This program, which
stresses the role of computer systems in
business and industrial organizations,
requires the student to take courses in
programming, systems analysis, and
database management, as well as
accounting, marketing, and managerial
finance. A C.I.S. major is then qualified
to provide computer expertise in a variety
of business situations, depending on
which business concentration he or she
chooses.
Another program that utilizes business
and managerial skills is the School of
Engineering and Physical Sciences’
Engineering Management program.
Students pursuing an Engineering
Management degree declare a preference
in electrical, environmental, or materials
engineering, and supplement that
concentration with business and
economics courses. Upon graduation, the
successful student is qualified for
management positions in engineering,
and can go on to complete the
requirements for an M.B.A. in only one
year.
The School of Business and Economics
has many programs that interface with the
College and the other School; for
instance, the Earth and Environmental
Scicnces/Business track and the
History/M.B. A. five-year track arc
already on the books, and programs that
link business with areas such as
Psychology and Communications are in
the planning stages. And, working with
the Division of Graduate Studies and
Continuing Education, they offer two of
Wilkes most successful graduate
programs: the Master of Health Services
Administration, which trains managers in
various health care fields; and the popular
Master of Business Administration,
which carries the highest enrollment
among Wilkes graduate programs.
The cooperation across the college for
these interdisciplinary programs is not
only admirable, it is necessary for the
development of the School as Engel
envisions it. “We have a strong track
record with brokerages and banks, and
strong majors in traditional areas like
marketing, accounting, and finance. Now
it is time to branch out into technical
areas as we are doing, and to develop a
stronger international bent. As the School
garners more enrollment from
metropolitan areas such as Philadelphia,
Elmira, Binghamton, and central New
Jersey, it becomes necessary to meet
these students' interests in this area. This
will also help us to develop the potential
for international markets and trade that
exists in northeastern Pennsylvania."
One of the major factors that will help
the School of Business and Economics to
realize its goals while maintaining its past
reputation is, certainly, its faculty. The
School employs full-time instructors from
across the United States and other
countries, whose broad backgrounds give
their students an equally broad overview
of the national and international business
scene. These faculty boast years of
experience in education, industry', and
business-related fields, and continue to
maintain strong ties with the business
world. For this reason, they are sought
after in the business community as
consultants and advisors.
The reputation and quality of this
faculty is currently being maintained and
even upgraded by a newly-established
faculty development program, funded by
the Pew Memorial Trust. The program
encompasses faculty throughout the
college, and Engel notes that "a
substantial number” are members of the
School of Business and Economics.
In addition to a dedicated full-time
teaching force, the School makes
valuable use of “adjuncts," part-time
faculty who are currently employed in
business fields. Adjuncts, says Engel, are
a major asset to the School because they
are on the cutting edge of developments
in the world of business, and can present
a practical, working approach to business
situations. The combination of full-time
instructors of long-standing reputation
and adjuncts who are willing to lend their
insight to business education provides a
balanced experience for students that fits
perfectly into the School's philosophy for
producing a well-rounded individual.
The classroom experience for business
students has always been augmented by
opportunities to discover the “real
world" of business. The annual Business
Symposium, sponsored by the school,
and various workshops and clinics
offered throughout the year bring
business leaders from across the country
onto campus to discuss current business
issues and trends. And, since these events
often feature Business and Economics
faculty as principals, they create a
symbiotic relationship in which the
WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 5
�To the Alumni of Wilkes College and ofBucknell University Junior College

Dr. Wagina Taylor instructs a class in Economics.
college itself serves as a resource for the
business world.
An exciting new dimension of the real
world experience offered to the Business
and Economics student is the inclusion of
the Wilkes Small Business Development
Center (SBDC). Small Business Institute
(SBI), and Anthracite and Community
Development Instiutute (ACDI) under the
jurisdiction of the School of Business and
Economics. According to Engel, students
will assume increasingly active roles in
the projects of these organizations, which
offer assistance to small businesses,
firms, and coal operators in the
northeastern Pennsylvania region. This
arrangement again provides students with
6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
experiential knowledge while they serve
as a resource to the community.
The success of the educational format
outlined by Engel — a liberal arts
tradition enhanced by solid business
experience and an awareness of the
contemporary — is proven by the records
of many alumni. Joseph J. Pinola is a
1949 graduate who is receiving more and
more attention on the national and
international business scene as Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer
of First Interstate Bancorp (For more on
Pinola, see Chronicle, page 22). Dr.
Thomas F. Kelly '69, formerly served as
Dean of External Affairs at Wilkes and is
now Dean of the School of Management
at SUNY Binghamton. William V.
Leandri holds a B.S. in Economics
(1969) and an M.B.A. in Finance (1976)
from Wilkes. He serves as Senior Vice
President of the Marketing and Data
Processing Division of Merchants Bank
North, and credits the college with
preparing him for the position he now
holds. His words are an affirmation of the
ideals that continue to operate today in
the School of Business and Economics:
“The college gave me an accelerated path
to management in banking. I always
recommend it highly, since my education
there helped me to recognize and
confront issues in my field and to fully
understand management and its nuances.
There is excitement in the air at
Wilkes. As the Quarterly goes to press,
we are expecting the biggest
Homecoming of alumni in many years. In
addition to celebrating Dean Ralston’s
forty years of service to Wilkes and his
present missionary work among alumni,
we will be commemorating the great
unbeaten football team of 1966 and
cheering the fine 1986 Colonels.
The WILKES TOMORROW $ 18
million Campaign, led by Eugene Roth
’57, has been announced, with $5.2
million already paid or pledged,
including $2 million from the Board of
Trustees. The four-week Alumni
Phonathon, led by Dr. Dan Kopen '70, at
the end of three weeks has exceeded its
$75,000 goal, which was itself $20,000
above the phonathon results of last year.
This puts us, with your help, within
striking distance of raising the $ 151,000
in unrestricted gifts from alumni, which
will secure a $50,000 challenge match
from the Surdna Foundation. Already the
proportion of alumni responding
favorably to our phone calls and letters is
up dramatically.
The trustees have authorized the
College to bid the construction of a
handsome Sports and Conference Center
designed by architect Peter Bohlin of the
architectural firm of Bohlin, Powell,
Larkin, Cywinski to be built on the site of
the present gymnasium and the vacant lot
to its north. The land originally belonged
to the late Dr. Charles H. Miner, Sr.,
father of our present trustee Charles H.
Miner, Jr. The Sports and Conference
Center will have two stories above
ground at the front, including a
conference center, and a complete lower
level, including a dedicated wrestling
area, physical fitness-weightlifting room
designed by Frank Zane ’64, and
extensive general recreation space. The
large gymnasium will be at the rear of the
structure and provide space adequate for
an active intramural basketball and
volleyball program as well as seating
space adequate for Commencement and
all-College convocations. The trustees
will decide on the time of construction at
their December 5 meeting in light of our
fund-raising success by that date.
The new Dean of Admissions, Bernard
Vinovroski ’69, has pulled faculty,
alumni and students together in a bold
recruitment campaign for next year’s
freshman class. Early signs indicate that
top students in our Northeast
Pennsylvania high schools are seriously
considering Wilkes. The financial
incentive for alumni children also seems
to be stimulating interest around the
country.
Bernie is armed in his work with the
sharpened image of Wilkes as a
comprehensive institution with a School
of Engineering and Physical Sciences, a
School of Business and Economics, and a
College of Arts and Sciences. The
reorganization, described in this issue of
the Quarterly, has increased our capacity
to draw the many elements of the W'ilkes
family together to make this an even
better place for students.
Our WILKES TOMORROW
Campaign objectives include increasing
the endowment to strengthen our faculty
and increasing student financial
assistance. While the major appeal to the
alumni will be made in 1987, we urge
you to consider support of the 1986
Annual Fund effort to help us secure the
Surdna grant. Because of the major tax
reform just enacted, you may also wish to
consider making vour capital contribution
to the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign
before the end of the year. Such early
gifts, taking advantage of tax incentives
for charitable giving which will disappear
after December 31, will also make you a
leader of this ambitious effort to build
Wilkes into an even finer institution for
the next century.

�will be expected, as well, to continue
your annual support to the College.
This is the same as was the case in the
Alpha Campaign and every other
Capital Gifts Campaign we’ve ever
had. Unlike so many institutions, we
are ready for a capital campaign and
perhaps overdue for it, as our last
broad-based capital campaign was in

Wilkes College to
Conduct Campaign
for 18 Million
Dollars
entrance into the Twenty-first
Century. Frankly, the $18 million
represents what the Board of Trustees
believes is the minimum requirement
for a campaign effort through the year
1990.
A campaign for S18 million, the largest
ever conducted locally, was announced by
Wilkes College at a press conference held
in the Dane Center for the Performing
Ans on the Wilkes College campus.
Funds raised through the “Wilkes
Tomorrow” Campaign will be used in
support of faculty', capital construction,
scholarship assistance and current
academic programs.
Eugene Roth, a prominent local
attorney, trustee of Wilkes College, and a
Class of 1957 Wilkes graduate, will head
the “Wilkes Tomorrow" Campaign as
National Chairman.
The following is an interview with
E. Roth '57:
Q. The 18 million dollars is an ambitious
goal, especially now, when many
private colleges are talking about
"retrenching." What led Wilkes to the
decision to gofor SI8 million ?
A. First of all. the decision was not made
without careful evaluation and
deliberation. It was made based upon
the primary needs of the College,
where we have a responsibility to
maintain the quality of faculty that we
have and to continue to attract quality
faculty; and that's going to cost a
certain amount of money. In addition
to that, there are physical assets that
have to be addressed; the construction
of the Sports/Conference Center; the
maintenance of some of the historic
facilities and other buildings on
campus; the responsibility of
increasing the endowment of the
school; and generally the
requirements necessary to meet our
8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Q. What message is the name WILKES
TOMORROW intended to convey?
A. It is a two-fold statement. First, if
Wilkes is to meet its destiny, as well
as its responsibility to the students of
today and tomorrow, if it is to meet its
responsibility to the community and
the nation, it must begin today to do
so. That means to raise the money
now, so that we can do what we have
to do tomorrow. Secondly, to say as
resoundingly as we possibly can that
not only has Wilkes had a
distinguished past and an exciting
present, but it has a dramatic future,
which we hope will be all the more
enhanced as a result of the campaign.
Q. Wilkes does seem to be turning a page
in its history, considering recent
academic restructuring and
administrative reorganization. How
does the campaign interact with those
changes?
A. Wilkes College today is not accurately
depicted, in my opinion, at either the
national level or at the local level. I
think that its prior administrative
structure and its prior reference as
small liberal arts college failed to
address the fact that Wilkes is an
institution with multiple disciplines. It
is the only College in northeastern
Pennsylvania that offers a four-year
degree in Engineering and allied
fields, the only institution in
northeastern Pennsylvania with an
aggressive and expanding graduate
school; and I believe the restructuring
will begin to portray to the
community the real Wilkes College.
Q. The goal of $2.5 million forfaculty
support and scholarship endowment
and $5 million for the
Sports/Conference Center are
self-explanatory, but you have a goal
of$10 million for ongoing programs.
Would you explain what is meant by
ongoing programs ?
A. As you know, the College relies on
annual giving, bequests, foundation
gifts, and certain government grants
not related to scholarship assistance in
order to accommodate its operating
budget. We realize at the present time
a substantial amount of money on an
annual basis in that respect. Those
monies will be ongoing throughout
the period of the campaign and we
anticipate that that will aggregate $10
million. In short, what we are saying
to the world is, that you are going to
be called upon not only to give a
i
Q. In the announcement, Dr. Breiseth
stated that there is a nucleus find in
place that exceeds $5.1 million.
Could you tell us how you raised such
a substantial fund so soon? The
campaign was just announced on
September 15th.
A. It’s sort of like giving birth to a child.
You measure from the first day of the
birth but there are nine months that
preceded it, and that’s almost the case
here. In fact, our efforts began back
in 1985 with intense meetings,
discussions, plans, evaluations, etc.,
at the trustee level culminating in
some preliminary decisions in 1985 to
explore the viability of a capital gifts
campaign. Starting way back then, we
invited the very generous support of
the trustees. Their support has
culminated in gifts of $2 million plus.
Again, measuring the annual support
during that same period of time and
certain select gifts and bequests, we
have in that period of time
accomplished the $5 million plus
figure.
Q. Is there really a donor out there who
will give Wilkes a million dollars?
A. There are many people who have the
capacity to give a million dollars and
more. It becomes incumbent upon
every individual who is now or has
ever been affiliated with the College,
to develop those potential contributors
to a point where they would see the
worthiness of the College as a
recipient of such a gift. It’s not
uncommon to pick up a newspaper
every day in the week and read of
contributions of many, many millions
of dollars to major institutions in this
country. All we have to do is connect
the cause with the contributor and we
think that’s very possible.
Q, There’s been comment from some,
questioning the need for a gym. How
do you respond to that?
A. First of all, we are not talking about a
gym; it’s not just a gym. It’s a facility
that the school desperately needs.
When I attended Wilkes College
during the period of 1953 to 1957, we
had a student enrollment in the
aggregate of approximately 600 to
700 people. The gym that we then
had, and now still have,
accommodated that student
enrollment. At the present time, we
have the full-time equivalency of
3,000 students with a multitude of
inter and intra collegiate activities.
This forces certain students to use the
facility for training as late as 9, 10 or
11 o’clock at night and all hours
during the weekend to accommodate
their practices. After all this, the
facility is then made available for the
student body, and that is just
unacceptable from all sorts of
standpoints, including the fact that the
Middle States evaluation has on at
least two occasions commented on the
inadequacy of the facility. The reality
is that our competition is offering
facilities comparable to those we plan
to build and if we don’t provide the
new complex, we cannot compete; we
lose — and we are not losers!
Q. Your position is National Chairman of
the WILKES TOMORROW
Campaign. IWiy "National"?
A. It’s intended to connote the fact that
Wilkes College, although having as its
primary mission the encouragement
of local students and industrial growth
and activity among other things, that
it still is an institution of national
consequence, having national
influence, having friends and
supporters and alumni throughout the
country and, indeed the world, and to
make it clear that we are going to be
that expansive in our reach. We intend
raising this money throughout the
country as a whole.
Q. I understand that the
Sports/Conference Center can be
namedfor $1.5 million, and that other
spaces can be namedfor specified
amounts. Is that true?
A. We have created, through a very well
thought-out process in arriving at the
$18 million goal, a potpourri of
requirements and needs, which will
afford people the unique opportunity
to affiliate their name permanently
with the College. That support ranges
from the brick and mortar type
categories in the Sports/Conference
Center to the naming of Academic
Chairs in the institution (I am
delighted to remind those who will be
reading this article that we have
already established the first Wilkes
Chair — the Tom Bigler Chair). We
also want to create a whole host of
other academic programs carrying the
names of people either in memoriam
or in honor, and I would prefer the
latter than the former because I
believe it is far more enjoyable to see
where your money goes when you can
still see it.
Q. Obviously raising $18 million
requires time. What timeframe have
you setfor the WILKES TOMORROW
Campaign ?
A. The Campaign is an effort as I
indicated earlier that commenced in
1985 and will continue through 1990.
That period of years is pertinent for
several reasons:
1. It identifies the parameters of the
payment of the gift,
2. It identifies the parameters of the
time period within which we
intend to raise the dollars.
For a lot of reasons our ability to raise
the required dollars closer to 1985
than 1990 becomes important.
Obviously, we want to give the
contributor the longest period of time
within which to pay his or her
commitment, but we would like to get
the use of the money — the sooner the
better.
SUMMARY:
In the life of every person and the life
of every institution there are windows of
opportunities and there are steps where
we either go forward or we go backward.
I think that for Wilkes College this is a
time of unique opportunity to not only
realize what I perceive as the College's
mission but to take the institution to
heights that were not even dreamed of a
decade or two ago. I think that the
College has an enormous opportunity to
be particularly helpful to the community
and to continue to produce quality
citizens for our country. But to do that, it
is just absolutely necessary that we raise
these dollars. Our supporters have to
understand that in order for an institution
like Wilkes College, which is so heavily
tuition-dependent, to continue the
creative and innovative things that we
would like to do. we just have to have an
outside source of dollars. That means we
need the ability to enhance the
endowment, the ability to get direct
allocations for specific academic
programs, and the ability to meet the
current and immediate physical facilities
needs on the campus required by a more
and more selective student who has more
and more alternatives for his education. w,

EXPERIENCE PREFERRED —
Wilkes Interns
Over the past several years, enrolling
in internship programs has become the
rule, rather than the exception, for Wilkes
College students. As the job market
becomes increasingly competitive, the
experience gained by serving an
internship can often make the difference
to a student seeking to land that first job.
This was the message delivered by five
Wilkes interns recently, as they recounted
their experiences before members of the
Board of Trustees.
Chris Bolcarovic is a senior
Communications major from
Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania, who served
a summer internship in the Promotions
Department of WBRE-TV, the NBC
affiliate station based in Wilkes-Barre.
Her duties included preparing press
releases, monitoring newspaper
coverage, writing copy for use on the air,
responding to viewer mail, doing library
research, and covering on-location shots.
Chris was also appointed station manager
of Wilkes' own WCLH radio station only
weeks before her internship began, and
commuted from Tunkhannock to work at
both stations throughout the summer.
Obviously, one of the skills Chris
learned during her internship was
10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
effective time management, but she
recalls a more weighty lesson. “As an
intern, I gained a lot of things, like real
world experience, meeting important
figures in the media, and making myself
more marketable as an employee in the
future,” she says. “But as a student who
was unsure of what career direction to
take, I learned a more valuable lesson —
that this field is right for me, and that I
am right for it. I can finally feel secure in
the fact that I made a sound choice in
entering Communications.”
Another student who made the right
career choice is Thomas Morpeth, a 1986
graduate from Cranbury, New Jersey.
Currently employed as an accountant
with the firm of Laventhol and Horwath
in Wilkes-Barre, only months ago
Thomas was an intern with the same
firm. Thomas recalls the actual
preparation for his internship under the
Accounting Internship Program. “Before
I even got the internship, I had a ‘mock
interview,’ where I was asked actual
interview questions and put on videotape.
After the interview, the tape was played
back so that I could see my mistakes and
strong points. The experience really
helped when it was time for me to
interview for the ‘real’ job market, since I
had a total of seven interviews before
joining Laventhol and Horwath.”
And, since Thomas served as a staff
accountant in the firm, he says, “The
internship didn’t just help me prepare for
the job, it was the job.”
Tom Walton, a senior Computer
Science major from Jackson, New Jersey,
didn’t even need an interview to get a job
— in fact, he has two offers waiting for
him when he graduates in May. As a
member of the Air Force ROTC, active
duty takes precedence over other offers,
but nonetheless, he was asked to sign
with a firm that contracts with his
internship employer, Pennsylvania Power
and Light. Tom began his internship in
May, and will remain at PP&L through
December. There, he writes computer
programs that operate the Nuclear Power
Plant Simultator, a complex device that
mimics the activities of the real nuclear
power plant in Berwick, Pennsylvania.
In his internship, Tom is gaining
knowledge that he might otherwise not
have during his four years in college.
“The computer science program here is
excellent, and definitely prepared me to
handle the computer-related aspects of
this position,” he says. “But I’m learning
more in my internship than I could
possibly fit into eight semesters — about
Physics, about Engineering, about a
broad scope of topics that I knew so little
of before.”
Learning about new topics was also a
part of Kristyn Porter’s summer
Wilkes interns, speaking before members ofthe Board of Trustees, related the value oftheir individual internship experiences. Pictured left to right

internship at the Michael Reese Hospital
and Medical Center in Chicago. Kristyn,
a native of Canton, Pennsylvania, was
one of forty students chosen from across
the country to participate in the Michael
Reese Research Training Fellowship
Program; but she is not a nursing or
pre-medical student — she is a senior
Electrical Engineering major, and was the
computer expert in charge of organization
and analysis of information at the
facility’s Stroke Data Bank.
The Stroke Data Bank is a collection of
data on risk, demographic, medical, and
stroke-specific factors on stroke victims
from four centers across the country. As
an intern, Kristyn organized incoming
information on the basis of race and
gender and applied statistical analysis
techniques to find the difference between
expected and observed frequencies or
values of these factors. She also worked
on an artificial intelligence program at the
University of Illinois that correlated
stroke information to predict stroke
subtypes.
Kristyn notes, “The internship gave me
new direction, since I was offered a
position for graduate work in
Epidemiology or Biostatistics and am
considering pursuing that. In addition, I
learned how the hospital system really
functions in research, and gained
professional experience in statistical
methods and case-control methodology.”
Pamela Jones, a senior English major
from Kingston, Pennsylvania, landed two
jobs at the end of the last academic year:
the 1986-87 editor-in-chief position on
the Beacon, the Wilkes College
newspaper; and a summer internship with
Fashion Flash magazine in Washington,
D.C. While Pam’s internship
undoubtedly prepared her for the editorial
job that awaited her back at Wilkes, it
prepared her even more for her planned
career in publications, preferably national
magazine publication. At Fashion Flash
Pam’s regular duties included writing,
editing, and interviewing; but she also
initiated a special syndication project for
the magazine. For this project, Pam
composed a sales letter and publicity
request that targeted movie companies,
fashion designers, and television studios
throughout the United States. During her
internship at the magazine, Pam also
authored an editorial guide for use by the
Fashion Flash company.
Pam says of her summer, “It gave me
better direction in my career plans — in
an internship you can learn what you
don't want to do, as well as what you
want to do. I feel as though I’ve
benefitted from a real learning
experience, and am even putting my
knowledge to work before I enter the job
market, in my position at the Beacon."
The internships served by these five
students are certainly worthy of
recognition, but it is important to note
that they are hardly the only “success
stories” among last year’s — or any
year’s — student interns. The internship
programs on the Wilkes campus are
continuously growing and improving,
proving to today’s employers the value of
a Wilkes-educated student, and proving
to today’s Wilkes student the value of
experience in quality education.

Wilkes has never adequately told the
story of its Engineering Department;
never adequately described the excellent
education engineering majors receive
here. There hasn't been adequate public
focus on the caliber of its alumni, many
of whom hold leadership positions in
industry, government, medical research,
and education. And. there has been too
little focus on the superb facilities and
faculty and state-of-the-art equipment and
programs. Wilkes College will alter that
in the near future because now there is a
new story to tell.
The Department of Engineering has
combined with two allied and equally
strong departments. Earth and
Environmental Sciences and Physics, to
form the School of Engineering and
Physical Sciences.
Wilkes proudly heralds the new
School, and will work to introduce it to
all its publics.
12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
The new structure was announced on
June 1, and according to the Dean of the
School, Dr. Umid Nejib, it was initiated
to meet current and future needs of
students moving into an era where the
changes in technology move at a speed
that is mindboggling.
Nejib said, “The scientists who will
move competently into that environment
will be those who have been given a
solid, basic education both in their special
field of study and in the allied fields of
science connected with whatever a
project may entail; and, they will have
been team-oriented.”
He continued, "By going to a School
structure wc have developed, by
accessing the faculty of three
departments, a vast pool of experience
and scientific know-how — solidly
connected, yet independent disciplines
interacting for research and problem
solving. Students benefit immeasurably
from this structure and interaction. There
have been such new and explosive
developments in society and technology
that the day of a single scientist working
alone in a lab to solve a single problem is
long past.”
The vast pool to which Dr. Nejib refers
consists of a faculty all of whom hold the
Ph.D., and with areas of interest and
expertise that cover every aspect of
undergraduate education in the three
disciplines. These areas range from
quantum mechanics to robotics, to
tribology, to geology. In addition to this,
there is a new dimension to the School —
the development of a liberal arts
component for engineering students.
Faculty from history and English and
political science are team-teaching
courses that will enrich the scientific
areas, giving students a full perspective
of their field of study; and, insuring that
these future scientists will be prepared
not only to know their special fields but to
articulate them both verbally and
graphically.
This innovative program of
interdisciplinary teaching at Wilkes
College is having an impact in the
academic community and, as a result of
this, Dr. Thomas Kaska, professor of
Language and Literature, and Dr. Nejib
were invited recently to discuss the
program at the National Center for
Research to Improve Post Secondary
Teaching and Learning, located at the
University of Michigan.
The word “unique” is one that must be
measured carefully before it can be
accurately or safely used. The dictionary
lists it as “peerless — one of a kind." The
Engineering Department can use the
word comfortably to describe not only the
equipment and labs but the fact that
nowhere in the country do undergraduate
students have access to the
ultrasophisticated equipment that Wilkes
students are given throughout their four
years at the school. There is not another
undergraduate school in the nation giving
its students access to this kind of
hands-on experience on a daily basis as
part of their required curriculum.
This part of the program has also been
recognized by the academic and industrial
communities. Wilkes has been lauded in
its approach by industry, by other
universities and colleges, by professional
accrediting agencies, and by professional
societies.
If anything can be the shining star on so
bright a list of accomplishments, it would
have to be the practical experience given
students. This is accomplished by either
placing students in major companies to do
research and design, or by bringing
research and design projects into the labs
at Stark Learning Center. This procedure
is used in all three departments and
especially in Earth and Environmental
“The day of a single scientist

Sciences. Students serve under faculty
guidance as highly trained professionals
in the microbiological water-testing
facility, the air-quality lab (including
meteorology and air-quality monitoring
equipment), the rock lab (sedimentology,
mineralogy and soils testing), and in
partnership with Northeastern
Pennsylvania Environmental Council
(NEPEC) to study the implications of
radon gas.
In the scientific outreach that the
School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences stresses, there has been a strong
affiliation between the School and the
Ben Franklin Partnership to aid research
and development, education and
technology training. Funding of joint
college industry projects has underscored
Wilkes high level of engineering
expertise, and has included relationships
with not only local firms but with world
leaders in industry.
Other outreach programs include the
Technology Transfer Program; this is
Wilkes alone and is used to assist local
industry to gain inroads to a vast
technology resource through the
engineering department. This allows
industry to tap the manpower, facilities,
and resources available from the
department. There are two conference
series which lend themselves to outreach.
One is the Advanced Technology Seminar
Series, the only technical regional forum
where local industry can meet, discuss,
and present their capabilities and share
information with each other and the
educational community. The other, the
College and Industry Technology
Conference, allows the industrial
community access to the college’s
scientific and technical abilities.
These series are designed to serve the
industrial community by Wilkes School
of Engineering and Physical Sciences,
now recognized as the Center for
Advanced Engineering and Technology in
Northeastern Pennsylvania. There is also
a wide selection for degree programs.
For example, students entering
engineering at Wilkes may select a
four-year program leading to a B.S.
degree. These students receive a broad
and strong foundation in basic areas of
engineering science, and mathematics.
Specialization and concentrations in one
or more areas of engineering are achieved
by selecting a sequence of courses and
special electives under the direction and
supervision of a faculty advisor.
The four-year major degree programs
in Electrical Engineering, Environmental
Engineering, and Materials Engineering
are noted for their strength and diversity'
of emphasis. In the Engineering
Management program, students must also
develop expertise in the areas of
electrical, environmental, or materials
engineering.
Five-year B.S. degree programs
emphasize a broader education in the arts
and sciences while fulfilling the
requirements for a degree in engineering.
Those students with experience in both
engineering and computer sciences,
physics, chemistry, mathematics, or
sociology, as well as other fields, are
qualified for a variety of careers.
The Department also maintains
two-year academic programs designed
for students wishing to transfer to
accredited engineering institutions to
complete their junior and senior years.
These programs include aerospace, civil,
chemical, and mechanical engineering. ®

An evening program is available in all
degrees for those students who are

Technological advancements and
changing emphasis in the engineering
fields may occasionally require
curriculum modification. The dynamic
structure of the Wilkes curriculum lends
itself to the incorporation of new
developments in the field without the
necessity of major curriculum alterations.
(From Engineering Brochure, 1986)
The track record established by Wilkes
College Engineering is illustrated by the
number of alumni employed by
world-class corporations both here and
abroad. A recent survey made obvious
just how effective the School’s
preparation is. Wilkes College regularly
supplies personnel for leadership
positions in such corporations as
Rockwell International, Owens Illinois,
Texas Instruments, I.B.M., Motorola,
Lockheed, Martin Marietta, and
Westinghouse, among others.
President Breiseth recently praised the
School of Engineering in its concentrated
effort for such scientific outreach.
Breiseth said, "The School’s goals
closely follow the newly-developed
Mission Statement at Wilkes, which
states: ’the strength of a Wilkes education
is its balance of the theoretical and
practical, of liberal learning and
professional preparation. Students have
the opportunity of applying knowledge to
real problems by working in
well-equipped laboratories, serving
internships, and participating in
cooperative education. Beyond balancing
theory and practice, a Wilkes education
seeks to increase students’ capacity to
serve others with intelligence,
imagination, and integrity.’ ”
There is a new story to tell; and with
the ideas being generated, the growth and
the enthusiasm, this is obviously only the
first chapter.

��“Faculty are united by a
generalfeeling of collegiality
as people from 15 different
departments meet on
common ground.”
College of Arts
and Sciences
By Jane Manganella and Melissa Meyers
In spite of an academic restructuring of
the College, which happened on June 1,
1986, Wilkes has stayed committed to its
core curriculum in the liberal arts. Dr.
James P. Rodechko. Dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences, and President
Christopher N. Breiseth emphasize on a
consistent basis the fact that the historic
restructuring and Wilkes’ move to stay
abreast of advancement in technology and
science, in no way erodes the liberal arts
tradition developed over a fifty-year
period. According to Rodechko, “This
commitment to the liberal arts curriculum
and tradition will have its focus in the
College of Arts and Sciences.”
The 15 departments within the College
represent the ideal structure for the
liberal arts curriculum encompassing the
humanities, the social sciences, the
natural sciences, and mathematics.
Rodechko stated that the philosophy is
succinctly summed up in the College
Bulletin. It reads, “All students at Wilkes
College will complete some course work
in these disciplines since study in the arts
and sciences provides many of the basic
learning skills, which enable one to write
and speak effectively, to think critically,
and to understand one’s place in a
complex and changing society.”
Although the concept of a College of
Arts and Sciences is new to Wilkes, it is
13 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Dr. James P. Rodechko, Dean ofthe College ofArts and Sciences.
commonplace to the world of education
and is used throughout the United States.
Rodechko said, ‘‘The reasons are clearly
defined and beneficial to both students
and faculty. Faculty are united by a
general feeling of collegiality as people
from 15 different departments meet on
common ground.” The feelings of
isolation that kept faculty from the
interaction this structure provides have
been eliminated. There are mutual
concerns and mutual needs. This tends to
unite rather than separate faculty. The
communication enhances their ability to
anticipate the needs of students across the
board. For example, a biology or nursing
student no longer does the narrow
research and report that is written and
given to a single professor for a grade.
The report is now researched, written,
and presented orally to several professors
or a team of peers. "Cooperation among
faculty to assure student development is
the fundamental goal for all of us,”
Rodechko said.
Rodechko considers as one of his major
tasks the promotion of a positive
self-image within the faculty. “This is,”
he said, “a very easy task. When I went
from teaching to the deanship, I needed to
become familiar with the credentials of
faculty in the College. It was a rewarding
discovery. I knew there was excellence
but had no idea it existed to the degree I
found in those resumes. The faculty is
balanced in scholarship, in teaching
skills, in field experience, and in
performance. However,” he continued,
"the emphasis is always on teaching and
we excel at that.”
Students obviously become
beneficiaries of this new approach at
Wilkes College. Through more integrated
programming and interdisciplinary
courses, both internally in the College of
Arts and Sciences and externally between
the College and the schools, students
have the opportunity to explore. It can be
the "make your own sundae” approach to
career goals. For example, a history
major may now be asked to do research
on the history of chemistry rather than on
the Civil War. In that research, it would
be possible for the student to find that he
or she has a high level of interest in
chemistry'. The opportunity is now there
to allow that student to pursue chemistry
within the context of the discipline of
history. “The goal is to promote
discovery of self in students and then to
nurture the interest that exploration
produced,” Rodechko states.
This is not a philosophical approach for
enrichment only but has its basis in the
very real context of preparing these
students for a demanding job market.
They will be eminently prepared to
compete in a world that is a mix of
science and liberal arts.
The College of Arts and Sciences, with
its diverse and broad-based mix of
disciplines, is able to produce and has
produced students who can succeed in
this world.
Wilkes Health Sciences has a record of
100/c acceptance of its students to

medical schools and pre-professional
programs throughout the United States.
The medical profession has within its
ranks hundreds of M.D.’s who received
their early training at Wilkes, and have
assumed leadership roles throughout the
nation’s prestigious universities,
hospitals, and health care facilities.
In the legal profession, Wilkes claims
alumni who are outstanding deans,
judges, lawyers, and political figures,
and have contributed immeasurably to
public service. The College’s
mathematics and computer science
graduates are also leaders in top-caliber
corporations and businesses, both as
technologists and managers.
The College can also boast playing a
major role in cultural enrichment both
locally and nationally, as alumni include
noted musicians, artists, actors and
actresses, and opera stars. An intrinsic
part of these and all graduates’ success
lies in the ability they are given to not
only think clearly, but to express thought
effectively through the spoken and
written word. Developing this ability in
its students is the paramount concern of
the Language and Literature Department.
Rodechko emphasizes that the College
is extremely sensitive to the needs of
students of the future. This is apparent in
its approach to course design and
implementation. For example, health
care is recognized as the leading
employer in the nation. Wilkes Office of
Health Sciences, in addition to
maintaining its enviable acceptance
record to medical schools, also has
affiliated programs in Dentistry,
Optometry, Pharmacy, Podiatry, and
Allied Health Professions. In that same
area, the Wilkes College Nursing
Department has been a major supplier
and, indeed, a pioneer in providing
Northeastern Pennsylvania with qualified
Baccalaureate degree nurses.
Wilkes has also pioneered the teaching
of teachers in specific areas, and last year
alone (1985-86), through its many
programs, brought over 1,500 teachers to
campus for upgrading teaching skills in
such progressive areas as computer
education.
This is only a portion of the
information needed to cover the fifteen
viable departments that comprise the
College of Ans and Sciences.
At Wilkes College the new approach is
to produce the well-rounded student,
conversant in science and humanities, in
business and performing arts. Rodechko
says emphatically, “The possibilities are
essentially limitless. The rewards are
guaranteed fora lifetime."
Professor Emeritus Charles B. Reif
It was September 17, 1942, when Dr.
Charles B. Reif arrived in Wilkes-Barre
to begin his new position on the biology
faculty at Wilkes (then Bucknell Junior
College). Tired from his trip from
Minnesota, the young professor was
anxious to find “campus” and settle-in.
He began asking directions, “I asked a
policeman, who asked two or three other
officers; and after a lengthy discussion,
they agreed that I should look on South
River Street.”
Suitcases in hand, Reif started his
journey — a journey that would wind its
way through 41 years of devoted service
and distinguished teaching at Wilkes
College.
He reminisces about those early years
and the beginning of his career at Wilkes,
, I d completed my doctorate in June of
41 and was hired as the Curator of
Education for the Minnesota Museum of
Natural History at the University of
Minnesota. For the academic year
1941-42, I'd earned the grand sum of
i 00 and decided that I had better start
ooking for another position; so I listed
my name with the Fisk Teacher's Agency
20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
"On September 10,1 returned from
fishing (for my supper) and was told that
Dr. Eugene Farley from Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania, was trying to reach me.
When I returned Dr. Farley’s call, he
asked if I would be interested in teaching
biology at Bucknell, and said the salary
was $2,500. Obviously I was interested
and said yes to his offer. He then
described the job. I was to teach the
course in general zoology to sophomore
biology majors; the survey course in
general biology to non-majors; the survey
course in physical sciences to
non-majors; and a course in hygiene to
everyone. ‘Do you think you can handle
that?’ Farley asked. I told him ‘yes,
certainly,’ hung up the phone and nearly
fainted."
One week later Dr. Reif was in
Wilkes-Barre and caught up in the
activities of the fledgling college and the
teaching career that would become his
vocation and avocation.
He would, during the next41 years,
become the only person to carry the
college mace for all ceremonies on
campus... He would be the
standard-bearer and role-model for
thousands of students.
Alumni give consistent testimony for
the strong, positive influence Dr. Reif has
had on their lives. They say in part. . .
“He gave everything, he did his best and
he'd accept nothing less than our best.”
“He taught me more than biology, Dr.
Reif taught me how to work." “Dr. Reif
demanded more than I thought I could
give; then, when I succeeded, he
delighted in that achievement as much as
I.”
One prominent physician says, “When
I was a student, I considered him an
unreasonable perfectionist. Then, when I
began the practice of medicine, I realized
1 approached every problem with a
question . . . how would Reif handle this?
He had become my role-model.”
When Dr. Reif announced his
retirement, former students endowed a
scholarship in his name. The plaque
presented to him appropriately read,
“Your excellent teaching has shaped the
lives of students who have become
eminent physicians, dentists, scholars,
and teachers." Their joint contributions
have greatly affected the quality of life in
our society.

TRUSTEES: Update
Joseph J. Pinola
In the past nine months, Joseph J.
Pinola. class of 1949 and a member of the
Board of Trustees since 1979, has had
major coverage in the New York Times
(June 8, 1986). Newsweek (August 4,
1986). The Los Angeles Times (April 26,
1986), and U.S. New's & World Report
(October 14, 1985): an impressive tribute
to one of the Titans in American Banking.
Pinola is the CEO and Chairman of the
Board of First Interstate Bancorp. Inc.
and obviously F.I.B., Inc., the ninth
largest holding company in the nation
(assets $49.7 billion), is national and
international news. But, the news focus is
on Pinola as the guiding force behind
what interstate banking might look like in
the future.
As overseer of the ever-expanding
company, Pinola has made historic and
sometimes controversial decisions that
have put F.I.B. into an enviable position
of growth. He is credited with
single-handedly building First Interstate
into an empire of 23 banks with more
22 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
than 950 branches in 12 western states.
R. I. Mandle, an analyst for
Payne-Webber, says it succinctly. "Pinola
wisely took a company that was a set of
independent fiefdoms and merged it into
one independent whole.”
William F. Raub, Ph.D.
William F. Raub. Ph.D., Wilkes
College Class of 1961, has reached
another milestone in a distinguished
career.
On September 3, Dr. Raub was named
Deputy Director of the National Institutes
of Health, Bethesda, Maryland. The
N.I.H. is the nation's major health
research agency. The announcement of
Raub's appointment came from Dr. James
B. Wyngaarden, Director ofN.I.H., who
characterized Raub as “particularly
well-qualified to meet the challenges and
opportunities ofN.I.H.’s second
highest-ranked position.”
Raub was honored by Wilkes in 1983
as the recipient of the Eugene S. Farley
Memorial Alumni Award. In 1982, he
received the H.H.S. Distinguished
Service Award; the S.E.S. Meritorious
Executive Rank Award, and the S.E.S.
Outstanding Performance Award in 1983
and 1985; the Toastmasters International
Communications Achievement Award
from the N.I.H. Toastmasters Club.
From 1966 to 1978, Dr. Raub led the
effort to develop PROPHET, a computer
system for pharmacologists and others
who study chemical/biological
interactions. PROPHET is the most
comprehensive set of information
handling tools for this area of science
ever presented in a unified system and
offered as a national resource to the
biomedical research community.
During his tenure at N.I.H., Dr. Raub
held several leadership positions
including Health Scientist Administrator
in the Special Research Resources
Branch; Chief, Biotechnology Resources
Branch; Associate Director for
Extramural and Collaborative Programs,
National Eye Institutes; and until his
appointment as Deputy Director, he was
Associate Director for Extramural
Research and Training.
Wilkes President Breiseth said, “We,
as an institution, benefit immeasurably by
the caliber of our Board of Trustees.
These are only two of the 36 trustees
whose membership is made up of experts
in various fields. We are proud to
introduce them to our alumni and will
continue to do so on a steady basis.”
GIFTS AND GRANTS
A National Science Foundation Grant
was awarded to Dr. Levere C. Hostler,
professor of Physics, to continue his
research in “Scalar Formalism for
Quantum Electrodynamics with
Application to Bound State Problems.”
The grant is the second such award given
to Hostler on the basis of his research. In
accordance with the terms of the grant, he
conducted his studies during the summer
semester at Cornell University.
The Pennsylvania Department of
Commerce awarded $125,000 to the
Wilkes College Anthracite and
Community Development Institute to
lead a coal industry development
program among four colleges and
universities. The grant will be used to
expand existing programs that provide
small coal operators in the anthracite
region with expertise and information
free of charge.
Program activities will be coordinated
among the Small Business Development
Centers (SBDC’s) at Wilkes College,
Lehigh University, Bucknell University,
and the University of Scranton. Projects
in coal testing, government procurement,
foreign markets, and the development of
an operator’s directory will be conducted,
utilizing SBDC staff and students and
faculty from all four institutions.
A bequest in the amount of $175,488,
with an additional distribution of several
thousand dollars to follow over the next
several weeks, has been received from
the Harriet Ripley Estate. Mrs. Ripley
was the wife of Julian Ripley, who served
on the Wilkes Physics faculty from 1960
through 1966.
Also donated to the college at the time
of the bequest was a portrait of Harriet
Ripley. The estate funds and portrait were
presented to college officials by Janet P.
Cabrera, Mrs. Ripley’s sister.
Gifts totalling $81,600, received under
the auspices of the Commonwealth’s Ben
Franklin Partnership, will strengthen
Wilkes College’s engineering and science
center. The grants include $20,400
supplied by the Ben Franklin Partnership
program and $61,200 in matching
donations from regional businesses,
industry, and alumni. The funds will be
used to purchase electronic equipment for
the $chool of Engineering and Physical
Sciences.
According to Dr. Umid R. Nejib, Dean
of the School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences, a major portion of the $81,600
total is targeted for developing a
state-of-the-art Computer-Aided Design
(CAD) facility. The facility, to be
operational this year, will be capable of
standing alone or linking with the
college’s computer system, and will
greatly enhance research activities in
computer-aided engineering. A portion of
the money will also be used to purchase
electron microscopy equipment for the
school’s diagnostics laboratory, and to
expand electronics facilities.
In August the Ben Franklin Partnership
funded five additional projects at Wilkes.
The first was $37,000 in support of the
college’s Small Business Development
Center. Other projects funded were in the
School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences, these include: $37,225 with the
American Electronics Labs in Lansdale,
Pennsylvania for the development of
thick film” microelectronics
technology; $46,000 for a mechanical
stress model with RCA in Mountaintop,
ennsylvania; $26,500 for system
automation development for Midway
Tool, Inc. in Jenkins Township,
Pennsylvania; $21,000 for a materials
requirements planning system for
errnan Schwabe, Inc. in Hazleton,
Pennsylvania.
These grants from the Ben Franklin
artnership, combined with matching
unds from regional firms, bring gifts
totalling $797,781.
Lecture Series Examines History of the Wyoming Valley
' r 7 ’ I
Dr. Owen Faut, right, originated the History ofthe looming Valley Lecture Series at
the college. He is pictured with Dr. William Stine, who will coordinate the lecture series
during Faut’s leave ofabsence from Wilkes.
This fall, Wilkes College initiated a
new lecture series for the college and
community on “The History of the
Wyoming Valley.” The series, consisting
of eight lectures, began in September,
1986, and will continue through April,
1987. All lectures in the series are
presented in the Dorothy Dickson Darte
Center for the Performing Arts, and are
offered to the public, free of charge.
The “History of the Wyoming Valley
Lecture Series” was developed by Dr.
Owen Faut, professor of Chemistry at
Wilkes. Faut explains his reasons for
coordinating the eight-lecture series, “I
thought it would be an excellent idea to
develop a series on the area that would
inform the entire community of its own
heritage. Several months ago, I began a
search of the Wilkes College community
in order to determine what sort of
resources it had to offer, and was pleased
to find that we had a wealth of expertise
to draw upon from our faculty,
administration and alumni.
All presenters in the series are Wilkes
faculty or alumni and are active in the
areas on which they will speak, making
the college the sole resource for the
series.
Dr. Faut, who is currently on leave of
absence to pursue a research fellowship at
the Lewis Research Center, has appointed
Dr. William Stine, professor of
Chemistry, acting coordinator of the
series.
Two lectures in the series have already
been presented to large audiences in the
Dane Center. The complete schedule for
the series is as follows:
September 13 — President Christopher

The Wilkes College Master of Health
Services Administration (MHA) program
has received a positive evaluation report
from Dr. Ashim K. Basu. Director of
Health Services Administration at
Sangamon State University. The MHA
program is subjected to an annual
voluntary evaluation to ensure the quality
of the program on a year-to-year basis.
During the evaluation period, Basu
spent four days on the campus, reviewing
the curriculum, faculty, and students of
the MHA program. He also interviewed
MHA graduates in order to evaluate their
progress in the health care field. At the
conclusion of this period, Basu stated, “I
am very optimistic about the progress of
the MHA at Wilkes. 1 have found the
commitment to quality within the
program to be tremendous, on the pan of
students, faculty, and administrators.
This is the third year I have examined the
program, and I am pleased that the
upgrading process is continuing
regularly.”
According to Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy,
Dean of Graduate Studies and Continuing
Education, periodic evaluation is a
necessary step in guaranteeing the quality
of the MHA program. “Since health care
is changing rapidly and dramatically, it
can be difficult to predict problems
before they arise,” he said. “Our aim is to
train students as thinkers and problem
solvers, so that they are prepared to
tackle new conflicts as they arise. To
accomplish this, we are expanding the
liberal arts components and research
opportunities for students, and will
continue to upgrade our program."
In an effort to help train community
residents in professional skills, the
Division of Graduate Studies and
Continuing Education, in agreement with
the Luzerne County Human Resource
Center’s Development Department, is
offering a course on “Electronic
Bookkeeping and Accounting” to
economically disadvantaged individuals.
Wilkes was selected as a participating
institution for the project from among
many applicants, and will draw upon
college faculty and community experts
for instructors. Twenty individuals have
been selected as students from a field of
sixty-five, and will attend classes through
December.
Instructing the course are Cynthia
Chisarick, Assistant Professor of
Accounting; Fred Croop, Assistant
Professor of Accounting; James
DeCosmo, Associate Professor of Math

Shown with "Society Lady ” by George Luks are Sordoni Gallery director Judith
O 'Toole, left, and assistant to the director, Jean Adams.
George Benjamin Luks, known to the
art world as a member of "The Eight,” is
the only artist in this revolutionary, early
twentieth-century group never to be
featured in his own showing. During the
upcoming year, the Sordoni An Gallery
will remedy this oversight with a major
retrospective on Luks, which will open at
Wilkes in May of 1987 and tour
throughout the Eastern United States
afterward. The exhibit is undoubtedly the
gallery's most ambitious undertaking to
date, and the acquisition of two major
works by members of “The Eight,”
accomplished in preparation for the
exhibit, is one of the gallery’s major
achievements in recent years.
The two new paintings which now hang
in the gallery’s permanent collection are
"Society Lady,” a portrait in oils by
Luks, and “Path through the Willows,” a
landscape in oils by John Sloan. Both
paintings came to the gallery as a result of
director Judith O’Toole’s search for a
Luks work to include in the May
retrospective.
“The gallery commission has made a
custom of purchasing at least one work
from each major showing,” she explains,
“and we learned of an available Luks
which might be appropriate.” However,
disappointed with a photograph of the
painting, O’Toole had nearly decided not
to pursue its purchase when she was
contacted by Helen Farr Sloan, gallery
commission member and wife of the late
John Sloan. Mrs. Sloan, who had seen the
Luks herself, persuaded O’Toole to travel
to New York to view the painting. There,
both agreed that the painting would be a
valuable addition to the gallery — if they
succeeded at the next day’s auction.
While Mrs. Sloan and O’Toole
discussed their prospects for obtaining
the Luks, a severe snowstorm blanketed
the eastern portion of the country. At the
auction, O’Toole recalls, "hardly a soul
showed up. The bidding for 'Society
Lady’ opened at an unbelievable figure,
and we finally purchased it for
approximately half its estimated value."
As if the victory were not enough for one
day, Mrs. Sloan then offered to donate
one of her late husband's works of the
same period to the gallery collection.
Thus, “Path through the Willows”
became the latest Sordoni Gallery
acquisition.

In Memoriam:
William R. Gasbarro, age 65, a
member of the music faculty for 28 years,
died Sunday, August 17, of an apparent
heart attack.
Gasbarro received his baccalaureate
degree from Juilliard School of Music;
his master's degree and teacher’s diploma
from Columbia University. He came to
Wilkes in 1958, later becoming chairman
of the Music Department, a post he held
until 1979.
He is mourned not only by his wife and
three sons, but by his students whom he
considered an extended family and with
whom he stayed in touch.
Gasbarro’s eulogy included the
following poem written and presented by
Alfred S. Groh.
For Bill Casbarro
Life is an instrument of the Lord
Struggling to be perfect all its days,
Rehearsed in the quiet ofthe soul
the music is exquisite when it plays.
For many life is a burden to bear,
For the artist life is a gift to share.
In the hands ofmany it's the struggle nr hear,
In the hands ofthe maestro it's the music clear.
Yer, for both, life's agony is no less real,
For both, pain and beauty have the power to heal.
For both the pain and beauty ha ve power to heal.
Life is the instrument ofthe Lord
Struggling to be perfect in all its ways.
Rehearsed in the quiet ofthe soul
The music is exquisite as it plays.
Allred S. Groh

_?"fe/sfcf :-fi & Teacher
By Jane Manganella
Introducing Dr. Catherine DeAngelis
isn’t easy. She is a physician and teacher
- a professor at Johns Hopkins School of
Medicine and one of only four women to
receive that pediatric professorship in the
97-year history of the institution; she is
the deputy chairman and chief of the
Division of Pediatrics and Adolescent
Medicine there; she is an author (several
publications and a book on pediatric
primary care), and was recently named
one of the top seven women pediatricians
in the country. She is the wife of Dr.
James C. Harris, a professor in
Psychiatry and Pediatrics at Johns
Hopkins, and she is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Sandy DeAngelis, Old Forge,
PA. Of course, when we at Wilkes get the
opportunity to introduce her, we preface
that whole impressive list by saying that
Dr. DeAngelis is an alumna of Wilkes
College, class of 1965.
Her accomplishments suggest that this
was a carefully chartered course plotted
by someone with definite career goals,
starting with a diploma in nursing from
Scranton State Hospital and working
steadily toward her prestigious position in
4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Johns Hopkins today. Cathy answered the
goals question quickly, “No, what I really
wanted to be in high school was a doctor,
and mostly a medical missionary for the
Maryknolls who would work with the
underprivileged in third world countries.
But my father saw things a bit differently
and refused to sign the necessary papers.
I didn’t completely give up the idea of
becoming a Maryknoll, I just kind of
shelved it for a while. What I did pursue
was medicine. Sure, I wanted to be a
doctor but at that time it would have been
an impossible financial burden for my
family. So I went to nursing as an
alternative.”
When she graduated from the Scranton
State Hospital School of Nursing, Cathy
decided to go on staff at Columbia
Presbyterian Hospital in New York,
"Because it was a good hospital,” she
said, “and because it was only a one and
one-half hour train ride to the Maryknoll
headquarters in upstate New York.” She
took that train ride to the Maryknoll
novitiate and had a lengthy interview
with a woman who proved that her father
was absolutely right all along. “It was
incredible. In an hour, this woman
focused on all the restrictions of the
lifestyle of a Maryknoll. She didn’t tell
me what I could do; she told me what I
would not be allowed to do. Well, this
was what I was facing now in nursing.
The course I’d need to follow as a
novitiate was too restricted and lengthy.”
It would take years more before she
would be out among the sick and the
poor.
Cathy did, however, know that she
couldn’t stay in nursing. “My level of
frustration was extremely high. I wanted
to do more. I wanted to be a doctor, but
how?” On the train ride back to New
York, Cathy decided to try. “I had a
chemistry teacher at Old Forge High
School, a wonderful man by the name of
Ed Claus, who had always encouraged
me to pursue medicine as a profession. I
decided to see him and ask his advice;
and when I walked into his office to tell
him that I wanted to go back to school,
that I wanted to look into becoming a
doctor, he was not surprised. He picked
up the phone and called John Whitby,
who was then Dean of Admissions at
Wilkes College. Mr. Whitby said he’d
wait for us (it was a Saturday morning) to
come down to campus to see him.” As she
told Whitby about her experiences at
Columbia, about how she asked to work
intensive care because she felt more
needed there, about how she looked for
volunteer duty at the healthcare clinics
during her off-hours, and about her
driving need to become a doctor, Whitby
made the decision to accept her as a
student. "And it was then that I began to
ask about the cost and tuition. Whitby
was wonderful, he assured me that we
would investigate every possibility for
financial aid that would allow me to
pursue my dream.”
The one thing that Cathy remembers
clearly is walking around campus that
day, “For such a long time I’d had the
feeling that I was looking for something,
and walking through Stark Learning
Center that Saturday morning I thought,
this is it, this is the beginning." She was
right. Her career in medicine, she is
proud to say, was launched at Wilkes
College and nurtured by two people she
met there, Dr. Charles Reif, professor
emeritus in Biology and then a member o
the faculty of the Bio Department, and
Dr. Sheldon Cohen, director of the
Immunology, Allergic, and Immunologic
Disease Program at the National ^ns'1'Llte
of Health in Bethesda, Maryland. T ey
were amazing teachers and they expecte
amazing accomplishments from their
students,” Cathy said. Cathy remembers
nearly freezing to death at Harvey s a
on one of Dr. Reifs famous (or infamo
field trips. She laughingly tells you that
“For such a long
time, I’d had the
feeling that I was
looking for
something. Walking
through Stark
Learning Center that
Saturday morning I
thought this is it, this
is the beginning.”
WILKES C01
you not only collected and analyzed
samples, you took photos of the thing and
catalogued it. “He pushed you to your
limits, and beyond to show you what you
could and should accomplish.” “Dr.
Cohen,” she continued, “forced you to
think with him in research. He also taught
you how to do everything you had to do
from cleaning the lab cages to doing basic
research in sophisticated projects.”
According to Cathy, there perhaps were
other schools that had more diversified
curriculum but none, and she emphasizes
none, who could have given more
one-to-one research interaction between
professor and student than at Wilkes.
She graduated from Wilkes in 1965 and
chose the University of Pittsburgh for
pre-med, where she received her M.D.
in 1969. Cathy never let go of the
missionary idea and in the next three
years, after receiving herM.D., would
serve in Nicaragua, in Africa, and in
Peru. “There was such need and the
doctors had to be resourceful. We had to
use our hands, minds, eyes, intuition to
help those people. There was little else to
use in those countries.”
When she was in Peru, Cathy spent
three and one-half days a week teaching.
She would then drive into the hills to
work with the uneducated poor who
needed immunization shots for
everything. Even measles was still a
killer there. She remembered an incident
that occurred while she was in the
Peruvian mountains. “I met another
woman who was doing the same thing,
immunizing and teaching these people.
She was a nurse and guess what else, a
Mary knoll missionary.” They are still
close friends and now' colleagues.
Cathy’s amazing career has so many
highlights that it is difficult to list them in
sequence. But one of the things of which
she is proud is the nurse practitioner
program that she developed and
implemented first in Peru, and then back
in the United States in the ghettos of
Roxbury and Harlem.
Another highlight happened when
she returned from Peru. She renewed a
friendship with a colleague. Dr. James C.
Harris. “We’d worked together as interns
at Johns Hopkins, and we were good
friends.” Then the friendship deepened
and when he proposed, he suggested to
Cathy that she could still take vows in the
Maryknoll chapel; they'd just be a
different kind. They were married.
A proud Wilkes College bestowed
another honor on Cathy at
Commencement Ceremonies in May.
She was selected as the recipient of the
Eugene S. Farley Memorial Award for
Alumni.
In her address to graduates she called
attention to the “excellence in humanistic
and academic education” that she
received at Wilkes, which she said
would, “enable you as graduates to
pursue with pride and assurance any
field of endeavor you choose.”
She concluded her talk with a special
thank you to her parents, “who were my
inspiration and support and who served as
role models for my life.”
The following is a quotation from the
dedication in one of her books. “This
book is dedicated to the butterfly, who
escapes the ugly cocoon to become a
thing of beauty in flight; and to the bee
who also flies despite science which
proves that she cannot; but especially to
my parents who have taught me the
importance of such things and to my
husband, who reminds me of them daily.”

The Alumni Award for Leadership is
given annually by the Wilkes College
Alumni Association to "the member of
the graduating class considered by a
special committee to have made the
strongest contribution to student life and
the student activities program at Wilkes
College.” This year's recipient, Charles
V. McCoy, illustrates the ideals of
campus and community service through
his contributions and achievements.
McCoy, a native of Pittsford, New
York, attended Wilkes College as a
resident student. He served as treasurer
for the Dormitory Council of Priapus
Hall his sophomore year, as resident
assistant of Diaz Hall his junior year, and
as resident assistant of Denison Hail his
senior year, proving his commitment to
the quality of residence life at Wilkes.
The finest illustration of McCoy’s
dedication to student life, however, is
hi', nxord as a member of the college s
hirst Aid Squad. McCoy joined the squad
as a freshman, and within a year was
promoted to first lieutenant. In IdHd. lic

academic year. As squad captain. McCoy
was an instrumental force in securing a
new vehicle for the college, used to
transport students to local hospitals.
McCoy’s involvement in the
community is no less impressive than
his work on the Wilkes campus. He
has been an ambulance dispatcher in
Pittsford, a driver for the Back Mountain.
Pennsylvania. Mobile Intensive Care
Unit, and a driver for the West Side
Paramedic Unit of Nesbitt Memorial
Hospital, Kingston, Pennsylvania. He
has also served the American Red Cross
as a member of the Disaster Emergency
Response Team, a C.P.R. instructor, and
an Advanced First Aid Instructor.
Dean George Ralston. Special
Assistant to Alumni Relations, served on
the committee that selected McCoy. In his
words, "Charles is a young man who
personifies genuine service. He is
concerned with helping others, without
thought of personal reward or gain. He is
an unsung hero who doesn't look for
credit, and a very tieserving choice for
this award." Ralston's comments also
reinforce McCoy's selection as the
winner of die Teresa Jordan and Flunk

award is given to "that undergraduate
who . , . most nearly represents the ideal

The Carpenter Outstanding Teacher
Award, established in recognition of
the B. G. Carpenter family and their
contributions to the Wyoming Valley,
is presented each year to a deserving
member of the Wilkes College faculty,
elected by a faculty committee. This year,
the award was presented to Dr. Claude W.
Anderson, III, Assistant Professor of
Mathematics and Computer Science at
the college.
Although Anderson has only been a
member of the Wilkes family for five
years, he has distinguished himself as an
outstanding educator in the minds of both
students and faculty. According to Dr.
James Rodechko. chairman of the
selection committee and a past recipient
of the Carpenter Award. “Dr. Anderson
won out this year over some very stiff
competition. In the selection process, we
rely heavily on student evaluations, and
these were probably the biggest single
factor in Dr. Anderson’s case. Student
opinion reflected the highest regard for
him — in fact, we received several
unsolicited letters from students who
cited his ability to communicate, his
thorough explanations of academic
material, and his approachability.'’
“Students today,
have a desire to be
challenged, and to
achieve more than
they think they can."
Perhaps Anderson is able to
communicate so well w ith his students
because of his personal pb.ilosoph) on
teaching. "Students today.” ho says,
"have a desire to be challenged, and to
achieve more than they think (hey can.
Bringing out the potential in a student
requires a creative approach, so that the
student w ill strive to do more w ithout

�Headquarters for the Wilkes College
Earth and Environmental Sciences
(E&ES) Department are located on the
fourth floor of Stark Learning Center.
■There is no mistaking this department for
any other on campus — its corridors are
filled with geology display cases, hanging
plants, maps, and even a weather station.
And there's no mistaking the purpose of
the E&ES Department — it's a place
where students and faculty work together
to make a difference, whether they are in
the classroom, the laboratory, or the
field. Wilkes E&ES is a department
where things happen!
1985-86 has been a busy year for
the department. In the minds of many
students and faculty, it will be
remembered as the year of the radon
project, conducted by members of the
E&ES senior seminar in cooperation
with the Northeastern Pennsylvania
Environmental Council (NEPEC).
Working under the direction of Dr. Brian
Redmond. Chairman of the Department,
and Ed Dructor. executive director of
NEPEC. seniors examined levels of
radon gas, a naturally-occurring decay
product of uranium found in soils and
rock formations. Radon gas in the
atmosphere is not considered a dangerous
outdoor pollutant, but it can concentrate
in significant levels indoors, and has been
implicated in the formation of lung
cancer. For this reason, radon is an
important environmental concern, and
the sort of issue that draws the attention
of the E&ES Department.
The Wilkes/NEPEC radon study
placed detectors for the substance in
buildings throughout northeastern
Pennsylvania, and in parts of Central
and Southern Pennsylvania. New York,
and New Jersey. Several months later,
detector levels were analyzed and placed
in a computer database developed by the
class for this study. Results were then
compared to questionnaires completed by
participants in the study, in an effort to
determine factors that might affect indoor
radon levels.
The radon project proved to be an
enormous success, both for the students
and the affected community. Months of
study culminated in a series of meetings
and press events, as public demand for
information on the issue grew. The
completed preliminary radon study has
evolved into a continuous monitoring
program for NEPEC. and will serve as
the model for a similar study to be
conducted ar West Che. ter University.

WELCOME The hallway leading to the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department offices
provides visitors with a visual introduction to the discipline.
Facility, now familiar across the state as
the Wilkes Giardia Lab. The laboratory
was established as a result of the 1984-85
giardiasis crisis in Pennsylvania (see
Quarterly, Winter 1985), and has been
increasing its operations ever since. As it
enters its second year of operation, the
facility is capable of testing for a variety
of contaminants in addition to giardia,
and has become a consulting and
educational resource for the community
According to Dr. Mike Case, assistant
pro.e /.orof E&ES and director of the
Giardia Lab, students play a vital role as
skilled technicians, working under the
close supervision of appropriate faculty,
in all water quality and air quality
facilities in the E&ES department.
"In the face of rapid expansion,” he says,
“we are still faithful to the philosophy
that student involvement is necessary for
the success of our work. Students here
arc thought of as ‘junior associates,’
occupied with very real scientific work
that may have far-reaching consequences.
They are educating themselves while
helping others, and in the process they
are receiving invaluable experience.
The wealth of opportunities available
to E&ES students is also evident when
Redmond speaks of the nature of E&ES
education. “Our students have developed
a reputation for environmental ethics,
scientific knowledge, and a positive
attitude that makes them sought after
as interns and employees. As
undergraduates, E&ES majors have an
incredible number of opportunities to
gain experience in the field, through
independent studies, topics courses,
senior seminars, field studies, laboratory
work, and internships. An E&ES major
would be hard-pressed to earn a degree
without having participated in at least
one, and usually more, of these
activities.” Case agrees. “We supply the
opportunities — it’s up to the students to
take them.”
And take them they do. E&ES
graduates can be found in some of the
nation’s top graduate programs, and are
employed as geologists, meteorologists,
water quality and hazardous waste
specialists, technical writers, teachers,
and more. Erie Johnson received his
B.S. in E&ES from Wilkes in 1983, and
in three short years, has completed his
M.S. in Geology at SUNY-Binghamton
and begun work on a Ph.D. in igneous
and metamorphic petrology. In
completing the requirements for his
Master’s, Johnson conducted research
in southwestern Montana, and worked
for the New York Geological Survey
mapping in the Adirondacks. During the
1986-87 academic year, Johnson will
serve on the full-time faculty of
SUNY-Binghamton, teaching Optical
Crystallography and Mineralogy. To
Johnson, the strength of his Wilkes
experience lies in "the breadth of the
scientific background I was given by the
department. Although my specialization
is geology, I can talk about meteorology,
water quality, and any other
environmental science — a definite
advantage in a classroom situation. Now
that I am teaching, I can really appreciate
the quality to which I was exposed at
Wilkes."
E&ES majors are not the only students
who credit the department with providing
career experience. Yvette Simmons
received her B.A. in English from Wilkes
this year, and is already employed as a
technical writer. As she puts it, "The nine
months I spent as an intern with the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Resources was a valuable
supplement to my academic training.
I learned of the complexity of
environmental problems facing our
generation, and feel that 1 am now able to
make a significant contribution io public
awareness of these problems. Without the
help supplied by Dr. Redmond and the
department, I might have missed an
incredible opportunity.” Proof of the
success of Simmons' experience is the
upcoming publication of her article,
“Acid Mine Drainage in Northeast
Pennsylvania Waterways,” in the fall
edition of Water Pollution Control
Association ofPennsylvania Magazine.
The success enjoyed by E&ES
students, both during their college years
and in various fields upon graduation,
owes much to the academic training and
professional experience this program
offers. But Bill Toothill, executive
director of the Susquehanna River
Tri-State Association (SRTSA) and a new
member of the E&ES faculty, sees
another dimension to the educational
program. "There is a certain attitude in
this department that you can sense almost
immediately,” he says, “and in the year
that I’ve been here. I’ve discovered the
reason behind it. E&ES faculty are
dedicated to motivating each student, and
when that motivation takes hold, the
energy becomes infectious. This is a
close-knit group, supportive of all its
members, and its result is a level of
scientific creativity and productivity that
is amazing.”
The standards that exist in the
department have also proven beneficial to
Toothill at the SRTSA. where E&ES
students are employed as interns on a
regular basis. “They bring both scientific
knowledge and professionalism to the job
— how can you lose with that
arrangement?
In all. E&ES projects have been
conducted this year in alliance with
institutions such as the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources.
NEPEC, the Environmental Protection
Agency. Pennsylvania Power and Light
Company, the Susquehanna River
Tri-State Association, the Pennsylvania
State University, and others. Many of
these also involved the Wilkes College
departments of Biology. Physics.
Engineering. Chemistry. English, and
Communications. A stranger to the
college might view such a record as
ample reason for a vacation. But not
for this department. Plans are already
underway for next year, which promises
to be just as busy as the last. Obviously, it
takes a special kind of department to keep
up a schedule, and a reputation. like that
of Earth and Enx ironmental Sciences. As
one F&ES graduate remembers. "They
ncxer promised y ou that the work would
be easy; they did promise tl would be
interesting. And it was alw ay s
worthwhile.”

�“At Wilkes, professors know
students by name and look on
them as individuals. This is
unusual and it creates an
atmosphere conducive to
learning”
Vinovrski Named New Dean of Admissions
at Wilkes College
Second, I do agree there is a
challenge here, but anyone in
admissions, whether private or
public, faces a challenge. It is a
highly competitive field. But,
for me, it is a different kind of
challenge, and one that I’m
looking forward to because we
have so much to offer students at
Wilkes. It is a family school. It is
great for us (admissions staff) to
know that a student will come
here and be happy because there is
an atmosphere at a small school
that you can’t talk about in
recruiting for the big universities.
Even at Bloomsburg, where
enrollment is 5,000 — not really
too big — students cannot get that
feeling they derive from the
one-to-one interaction with
faculty. At Wilkes, professors
know students by name and look
on them as individuals. That is
unusual and it creates an
atmosphere conducive to learning.
By Jane Manganella
WILKES-BARRE - Bernard J.
Vinovrski, former Wilkes College
admissions officer, has returned to
head the College's student recruiting
program.
Vinovrski's selection was the final
step in a six-month national search by
Wilkes officials. He was formerly
serving as Director of Admissions at
Bloomsburg University' where he has
been a member of the administrative
staff for eight years. His extensive
background includes experience at
every' level of the admissions proces
During his tenure at Bloomsburg, he
advanced from assistant to associate
to director of Admissions. He also
served as interim assistant to the
President and was a member of the
President's Cabinet.
Vinovrski, a 1969 graduate of
Wilkes College with a degree in
Business Administration, also earned
the M.S. in Education in 1976, and
the M.B.A. in Marketing in 1978
from Wilkes. He is familiar with the
admissions process at Wilkes and has
worked closely with the high schools
in Northeast Pennsylvania for 15
years, having served as assistant
director of admissions at Wilkes from
1971 through 1974 and as associate
director during the period 1976-78.
His duties at both Wilkes and
Bloomsburg included planning
institutional strategy for recruitment,
coordinating the recruitment effort
between the Financial Aid office and
the Admissions office, and serving as
a liaison between the Public Relations
office and Admissions for
publications.
10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
I ~
The following questions
and answers are
excerpts from a recent
interview with Dean
Vinovrski.
Q. Wilkes, like most other private
independent colleges, relies more
on tuition-generated income than
colleges in the public sector. This
has to represent a greater
challenge to you here than at
Bloomsburg. What are some ofthe
reasons you decided to come back
to Wilkes?
A. Let me say first that I didn’t make
the decision quickly. I’ve been in
admissions for a number of years,
certainly long enough to know the
enormous amount of accountability
the position entails. I spent a lot of
time evaluating the move. I first
talked to high school counselors
and found they were very positive
about the direction Wilkes College
is taking. They feel we arc
projecting, planning, and meeting
the needs of students who arc
moving into a highly sophisticated,
technically-oriented society.
Q. You have indicated that you
will work closely with alumni in
recruitment. What are your plans
fordoing so?
A. We are fortunate to have
outstanding alumni throughout the
country. I would like to ask their
help as we move toward a more
comprehensive, more structured
admissions program. However,
we must first identify alumni who
are willing to be involved as
admissions representatives,
especially those who live in New
York, Philadelphia, New Jersey,
Connecticut, and Washington,
D.C. When we do identify them,
we would begin to conduct
training workshops so that they
could be reintroduced to Wilkes
College and what is happening
here. I believe that these
workshops are necessary. It is
awkward for alumni who are
asked questions to which they
cannot respond. For example,
they need to know enrollment
figures, tuition and residence
costs, faculty-to-student ratios;
they even need to know who the
coaches are. It is our responsibility
to give them that and any other
information they may need.
Q. Many colleges have elaborate
networking systems between
admissions, faculty, and
administration as well as alumni.
Do you plan to enlist the help of
faculty and administration ?
A. Yes, and thanks to Tony Shipula
(our alumni director), President
Breiseth and Jack Meyers (acting
dean of admissions for the last
academic year, 1985-86) much of
the basic work has been done.
President Breiseth and Tony have
been visiting alumni throughout
the country and have developed an
agenda for 1986-87. This is an
important outreach approach,
(look for this agenda in the next
issue of the Quarterly) and I hope
alumni will come out and visit
with us. In reference to faculty.
Jack Meyers has developed a good
rapport with them and individual
departments have offered to help
with or sponsor college nights and
visitation days on campus. This is
a vital part of the admissions
process.
Q. Wilkes has just gone to a new
academic structure. . . the School
ofEngineering and Physical
Sciences, the College ofArts
and Sciences, and the School of
Business and Economics. Will this
reorganization help in your
recruitment efforts?
A. There is.no doubt that it will help.
It will answer the ever-increasing
need to prepare students for the
job market without losing the
ability to give them the
broad-based, liberal arts
background they need to articulate
whatever field of study they
choose. This new structure and
the curriculum it produces will
give Wilkes College students the
best education they can get
anywhere. It will help us achieve
the excellence in education to
which we at Wilkes have
dedicated ourselves.
Q. I know you have extensive plans
for admissions but briefly, what is
sour immediate plan ofaction for
1986-87?
A. We will coordinate and intensify
our program. We will identify our
market and then reach it. Wilkes
has, as I said, excellent faculty,
facilities, and programs, and we
now have to let people know
we're here. Fortunately 1 have a
staff who are equipped and eager
to tell that story .

��“Within the legal and ethical
parameters of the profession,
the nurse assumes the role of a
practitioner, client-advocate,
teacher, researcher and leader.”
DEPARTMENT
A Decade has Passed
byJane Manganella
A decade has passed since Wilkes
College conferred its first Bachelor of
Science in Nursing (B.S.N.) Degree. In
that comparatively short span of time the
profession of nursing has grown up. and
the department at Wilkes College has kept
pace and can take pride in a faculty,
curriculum, and educational facility that
can be looked upon as a model in higher
education for nursing students.
The concept of the profession of
nursing w as, in the not too distant past,
one of limited vision and held not only
by doctors and patients but by nurses
themselves. Nursing was generally
considered a career but not a profession;
a service organization whose membership
was deper.dem on others for leadership
ar.d decision making. Wilkes College
sought to change that w hen in 1972 it
admitted its first class of students who
would pursue the B.S.N. instead of the
Bachelor of Science in Nursing Education
B.S.N.E.; that it had offered since 1954.
In the ercmng 10 years the concept
ha; changed. In a self-study by the
1985, it is stated precisely that, “Within
rite legal arc ethical parameters of the
profession, the nurse assumes the role
of practiticr-er. client-advocate, teacher,
researcher, and leader..." a rar different

about many things, one of which was
the financial burden that initiating the
program might entail. I said. ‘Do you
want to seek monies in the form of grants
to support the program?' He looked
rather surprised and said. ‘Are there
monies?' When I said that there were
government funds available but proposals
would have to be written and I
volunteered to do that, he said. ‘When
can you start?'” Start she did in June of
1971, and she didn't stop until she retired
in 1981.
During those years Mrs. McHenry' not
only wTOte successful grants, bringing
almost one million dollars from various
sources to help fund and establish the
department, she also designed a
curriculum in 1971 for the nurse of the
1980's. This curriculum, written long
before the changes in healthcare were
obvious, fits perfectly into the
contemporary healthcare needs of society
today. Many of her contemporaries have
called Ruth's designing of that curriculum
almost visionary. There are so many
specialities within the curriculum that
apply to the needs of the general public in
healthcare. She also put great emphasis
on faculty development and the excellent
credentials held by Wilkes nursing faculty
today reflect that emphasis.
It became critical then, in 1971, to get
approval for the curriculum from the
myriad of accreditation boards necessary
before the plan could be carried further.
*'J presented and defended the curriculum
before the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania State Board of Examiners
in June. It was fully approved and I knew/
we were on our way.” The department is
also accredited by the National League of
Nursing.
A major part of Mrs. McHenry’s plan
•xas to provide students a self-learning
center at Wilkes where they could
develop hands-on skills they would need
as practitioners, "1 wanted students to
have available to them a facility where
•■ie-.j criuld go to practice classroom
theory. There they would work
independently to develop clinical skills
that would assure self-confidence in the
professional arena." This center was
designed by her and is now housed on the
third floor of Stark Learning Center. It
has been a model for other institutions,
many of which send representatives to see
the mini-hospital setting on the campus at
Wilkes College.
Mrs. McHenry’s diverse career
in nursing included a diploma from
Wyoming Valley Hospital, followed by
15 years of private duty nursing; a B.S.
from Teachers College at Columbia
University; and the M.A. in Nursing
Education Administration. Her goal was
to use her knowledge accumulated over
the years to help build a sound
baccalaureate program at Wilkes
College. She retired in 1981.
A search was conducted to find her
successor, and in July of that year
Virginia Nehring was appointed chairman
of the department. Dr. Nehring holds the
B.S.N. from University of Bridgeport
and her M.S.N. from Yale University
School of Nursing. Sixty-four credits of
her doctoral work were done at Boston
University School of Nursing, and she
completed her Ph.D. in Nursing
Research at Walden University.
Dr. Nehring believed in preparing
nurses to be “politically astute, aware
of ethical issues in nursing,” and her
overriding goal she stated succinctly,
“Our ultimate goal is excellence. We
will direct our energies to the preparation
of excellent practitioners — nurses
well-trained clinically and in nursing
theory.” It was under her tutelage that
faculty development reached new highs.
Credentials for faculty also achieved
excellence during her tenure for the
next five years until she decided, in
June of 1986, to step down from the
chairmanship and “get back to teaching,
which I miss very much."

Honorary Degrees
Awarded To Donley, Winsor
At Wilkes 39th Annual
Commencement ceremony, honorary
doctorates were conferred upon Edward
Donley, chairman and chief executive
officer of Air Products and Chemicals,
Inc., and Eleanor W. Winsor, (below)
founder and vice-chairman of the
Pennsylvania Environmental Council.
Donley (above) received the honorary'
Doctor of Humane Letters degree, and
Winsor received the honorary Doctor of
Science degree.
In presenting the degrees. President
Christopher N. Breiseth delivered the
following citations:
“Edward Donley, you have actively
fostered the crucial partnership between
business and education for the vitality
of our nation and its economy in an
increasingly competitive and
interdependent world.
“You have used your corporate
leadership position to secure business
support for higher education. As
chairman of the Business-Higher
Education Forum of the American
Council of Education, you have worked
to increase financial investment by
corporations in our colleges and
universities recognizing the dependence
of a competitive American economy upon
an ever-more educated work force and
iO
V

upon research in all fields carried out in
our institutions of higher education.
“You have been as determined as a
corporate leader to support effective
education in your neighboring local
schools, recognizing that an educated
citizenry and work force begins in
elementary school.
“You have also focused on the quality
and cost of health care.
“Having just assumed the
chairmanship of the United States
Chamber of Commerce, the first
Pennsylvanian to serve in this leadership
position in the 75-year history of the
Chamber, you become a spokesman for
American business not only within our
country but throughout the world.
“Quiet but thorough, balanced yet
determined, you bring a finely tempered
sensitivity to your many responsibilities.
“A son and grandson of teachers, you
have carried the role of educator into the
world of business.
“At a time when American higher
education faces crippling financial
problems, we in the academy celebrate
the presence in national and international
business circles of such a leader who
is bending his efforts to increase the
investment by businesses in our
educational institutions.
“Eleanor W. Winsor, you
have provided leadership to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in
the effort to protect our environment.
Through the Pennsylvania Environmental
Council, which you helped found and
have led for the past sixteen years, you
have sought to educate the public, to prod
our government and to stimulate industry
to find ways to clean up our water and our
air. Rather than searching for scapegoats
for the many abuses of the environment to
which we have all contributed, you have
brought together people from the public
and private sectors to discover the extent
of the damage and to develop techniques
and incentives to reverse it. Rational,
clear, persistent, articulate, you have
been in the lead in focusing our attention
on what we all must do.
“From your efforts, the public
regulations have taken shape and been
adopted, and our behavior as corporate
and individual citizens has improved.
What you did over the last decade and a
half to mobilize our understanding and
our energies to improve our air and
water, you have been doing more recently
to help the Commonwealth address the
problems of hazardous and solid waste,
which you regard as urgent for the
economic and ecological health of this
state.
-You have brought research and
ction together through the effective
organization of the Pennsylvania
Environmental Council and the
Pennsylvania Environmental Research
Foundation. While you now leave these
institutions to a new generation of leaders
and seek other avenues of service to
protect the quality of our environment,
Wilkes today recognizes your continuing
contributions.
“From our own efforts at the College
to help vouchsafe the environment of
Northeastern Pennsylvania to future
generations in better shape than we found
it, we recognize in you a colleague and a
leader.”

To the Alumni of Wilkes College and ofBucknell University Junior College
By the time you read this, the Breiseths
W1 1 have reached their second anniversary
in Wilkes-Barre. It has been an eventful
beginning. My letter to you is something
of a progress report on these first two
years, as well as an appeal.
Before I arrived on campus, Wilkes
College had achieved a remarkable
half-century of growth, with a reputation
for providing its students with a quality
liberal arts experience. Increasingly,
and in line with other colleges and
universities, Wilkes had been attracting
a greater proportion of its students to
professional and pre-professional degree
programs. When I arrived in 1984, more
than 75% of the students were majoring
in such programs.
In addition, full-time enrollments
had dropped since 1980 in line with
the changing demography of the
Northeastern United States, while
part-time and graduate enrollment
increased. Financially, these changes
stimulated a long-range effort to deal
with difficult staffing and budgeting
issues. Fortunately, under Robert Capin’s
leadership the College remained in the
black, an essential condition for private
colleges and universities with small
endowments if they are to survive the
rigorous challenges of the 1980s.
Wilkes, in 1983-84, conducted a
serious marketing study which presented
me with a valuable starting point to
analyze the strengths and weaknesses of
the College. I agreed with the study that
Wilkes College needed to sharpen its
definition of mission since it has become
a more diverse and ambitious institution.
While still a relatively small liberal arts
college, with a full-time undergraduate
enrollment of about 1,750, Wilkes has
also become a graduate school offering
programs not only on the Wilkes campus
but throughout Pennsylvania. If one adds
all the part-time undergraduate and
graduate students working for degrees,
the enrollment shoots up to nearly 3.000.
If one adds the continuing education and
special program students, that number
nearly doubles.
In the past two years, we together have
redefined the mission of Wilkes. We have
made important progress in strengthening
the quality, accountability, and energy ot
the faculty through an imaginative
program of peer evaluation and
professional development. This plan.
Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth
designed by the faculty themselves, was
greatly aided by a three-year. $300,000
grant from the Pew Memorial Trust.
The recognition of these efforts in the
Chronicle of Higher Education brought
us some valuable national attention and
alerted us to our potential for providing
leadership in these sensitive areas to
others in higher education, while
increasing the national reputation of
the College.
Organizationally, we needed both to
be more cohesive and to give greater
definition to some of our professional
programs which account for a substantial
part of our enrollment. The result is that
we have announced the formation of the
School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences, combining engineering,
physics, and earth and environmental
sciences and the formation of the School
of Business and Economics, formed from
the Commerce and Finance Department.
At the same time, and to provide
leadership for other departments and
for the critical revision of the core
curriculum now underway, we have
created a College of Arts and Sciences.
These changes will facilitate our
recruitment efforts for the broad and
specialized publics we must reach. (The
next issue of the Quarterly will focus on
these changes.)

heard the following:
• "I did not realize when I left Wilkes
how well I had been educated. In
graduate school. I was as well, if not
better, prepared than students from
the top colleges and universities.”
• “Wilkes faculty taught me to write
and to think.”

20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
In all the efforts to build Wilkes, and to
rebuild it after the flood of 1972, there
has not been the opportunity for staying
in touch with our 15,000 alumni. Wilkes
needs, and we hope you want, this kind of
communication. With alumnus Bernie
Vinovrski '69 taking over as Dean of
Admissions, we think you will be hearing
more from Wilkes, encouraging you to
learn enough about the College today
so that you can feel confident in
recommending it to your children and
grandchildren and to friends and
acquaintances. I hope we will be
enrolling increasing numbers of alumni
dependents using the 10% reduction in
tuition. Through the efforts of alumnus
Tony Shipula '78. Director of Alumni
Relations, working with the Wilkes
Alumni Association and President
Beverly Blakeslee Hiscox ’58, you will
have the opportunity to relate directly
with other Wilkes alumni in your area.
This opportunity should be enjoyable for
you and serve to strengthen the College
as only active alumni can.
Joining these individuals in building
relations with our alumni is Dean of
Student Affairs Emeritus George
Ralston. Drawing upon his unparalleled
knowledge of the College and his
friendships with students from the last
forty years, he is going to help mobilize
our efforts to construct a new Recreation/
Confcrencc/Sports Center on the site of
the present gymnasium. Every
comprehensive report on the College,
written by visiting accrediting teams and
by College committees, has identified the
urgent need to improve the recreational
and sports facilities at Wilkes. This effort
to build the new Center will be one part
of a capital campaign to be announced
this fall, which will also focus on the need
to increase faculty salaries and student
aid through an ever-larger endowment.
The endowment is presently valued at
$8,000,000. If you want to help in the
early stage of this critical campaign,
please get in touch with Tony Shipula or
George Ralston.
To help us with the raising of funds, the
Surdna Foundation has just awarded us a
$50,000 challenge grant to increase both
the percentage of giving and the amount
raised by the alumni in the 1986 annual
campaign over the result in 1985. The
annual campaign must continue and grow
even when we are going through a
three-to-five-year capital campaign. If
you have not given to Wilkes in recent
years, I urge you to give this fall when
you are approached, whether in person,
by phone, or by mail, in order to help us
increase the percentage of alumni giving.
If you have given, I urge you to increase
the amount to help us exceed last year’s
total by at least $50,000. The Surdna
grant will be used for student financial
assistance. In the first two phases of the
1986 annual campaign (the community
and corporate phases) we have
substantially exceeded our goals. With
your help, we can do so among the
alumni.
I was impressed by the Wilkes College
I encountered two years ago; I am proud
of the progress the College has made in
the last two years. As we work together
to strengthen the College for the next
century, we are engaged in a most
rewarding kind of investment in
ourselves and in our posterity. I am
confident that you will find Wilkes
College playing an increasingly active
and visible role in the crucial debates
over our nation’s educational system —
and I am confident you will be proud to
say aloud, “Wilkes is my alma mater.”
Stay in touch.
Sincerely,
Christopher N. Breiseth

On The Cover:
The late Jon Carsman's (1944'1987) "Edwardsville 1968” is one of the many pieces
selected from the Sordoni Art Gallery's collection to be featured throughout this publication.
Mr. Oarsman was an alianntts of Wilkes College, Class of 1966, whose work is
increasingly well known and appreciated.
Quarterly — Spring 1988
You might say that annual giving
was founded by Benjamin Franklin,
lb finance the academy that is now
the University of Pennsylvania,
Franklin personally pledged £5,000 —
“to be paid in quotas yearly,” the
earliest known annual giving pledge.
Dedicated support such as
Franklin’s has also been a tradition at
Wilkes, from the day of its founding
1933. Since then, hundreds of
far-sighted persons have given the
financial leadership required to build
a superior College.
While tuition has always been the
primary source of College income,
private gifts have lifted Wilkes to its
current position of educational
quality. Indeed, it is only through the
thoughtful annual giving of many
people and organizations that private
higher education — at Wilkes and
nationwide — is nurtured and
advanced. Annual gifts, particularly
in their yearly continuity, constitute a
needed, in fact vital resource which
significantly strengthens the academic
program.
Looking ahead, Wilkes has adopted
a new program of mission. Building
on the outstanding quality of the past,
Wilkes now embarks on an intensified
plan to undergrid the liberal arts core
curriculum while engaging students in
the quest for knowledge and
preparation for life.
In order to accomplish these
ambitious goals for this decade and
beyond, Wilkes must broaden and
improve College gift support. This is
the challenge and the test. With the
continued involvement and interest
of loyal alumni, local businesses and
national corporations, parents, and
other friends of the College, the goals
for the 80’s will be met, and the
tradition which is Wilkes will thrive
tor future generations.

Even the foul weather on March 4 could not dampen
the enthusiasm for the groundbreaking for the Sports
and Conference Center. It was a great day and, despite a
feeling of nostalgia, a big step forward in the $18,000,000
WILKES TOMORROW Campaign.
President Christopher N. Breiseth said, “We’ve been
wrestling with this building for a long time. It has
fulfilled the purposes of its construction in 1950 and we
must now look ahead to our future. We expect the new
facility to do a good job of serving current and future
needs.”
Frank M. Henry, Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
said, “the old gym has many memories but we hope to
create even stronger and better remembrances in the
SCC. It is going to be a great addition to campus.”
Also participating in the ceremony was Wilkes-Barre’s
new mayor, The Honorable Lee A. Namey, a member of
the Class of ’68. The Mayor said the new building
would be an asset not only to the College but also to the
city.
Pictured (above, left to right) in the formal
announcements are: Namey, Breiseth, and Henry. At
the groundbreaking portion of the ceremony (below, left
to right) are: Peter Bohlin, Architect; John Homza,
Sordoni Construction Services; Philip L. Wingert,
Chairman of the College’s Physical Education
Department; David C. Hall, Chairman of the Board's
Physical Facilities Committee; Mayor Namey; President
Breiseth; John Rosania ’89, President of Student
Government; Patricia S. Davies, Past Chairman of the
Board of Trustees; Eugene Roth, Esq. ’57, Chairman of
the WILKES TOMORROW Campaign; and Stella
Miner Moat, member of the Miner Family who gave the
land on which the new facility is being built. In the cab
of the bulldozer is Frank Henry.
By the way, the shovels didn’t do much good on the
frozen ground but the bulldozer saved the day!

The John Wilkes Club
Wilkes College has been shaping the lives of its
students for more than five decades. In order to
maintain its tradition of academic excellence,
Wilkes needs the continued and substantial
support of alumni and friends, thus helping the
College advance its heritage as an outstanding
institution of higher education.
The primary goal of the John Wilkes Club is to
provide a strong base of unrestricted support for
current operations. During 1987, gifts from John
Wilkes members provided $1,176,253 in gift
support, including $220,625 in direct support to
the academic program and $955,628 to designated
projects.
Membership in the John Wilkes Club is open to
alumni, parents of students, and other friends of
the College on a yearly basis. Active Memberships
are available in the following categories: Trustee
Associate — a gift of $10,000 or more; Founder’s
Circle — a gift of between $5,000 and $9,999;
President’s Circle — a gift of between $2,500 and
$4,999 and John Wilkes Associate — a gift of
between $1,000 and $2,499. Active Memberships
may be fulfilled with gifts of cash, securities, real

Lifetime Honorary membership is attained by
individuals when cumulative contributions to the
College reach the level of $100,000 or more.
Annual Active and Lifetime Honorary

Trustees, is held to provide John Wilkes members
with special insights into College programs. In

TOM
Susan Behuniak-Long
Outstanding Teacher
Susan Behuniak-Long, Ph.D.,
Assistant Professor of History and
Political Science at Wilkes College, was
named the recipient of the B.G.
Carpenter Outstanding Teacher Award for
1987. Dr. Behuniak-Long accepted the
award at Commencement ceremonies.
The award was established by the
Carpenter family in recognition of
excellence in teaching.
Dr. Behuniak-Long joined the Wilkes
faculty in August of 1985. She earned
both her M.A. and Ph.D. at the
Rockefeller School of Public Affairs of
the State University of New York
(SUNY), Albany. Her major field at
SUNY was Public Law with minors in
Political Theory and American
Government.
Dr. Behuniak-Long, whose
baccalaureate degree was in Journalism,
admits that she did not plan on a teaching
career at that point. She said, “I went into
a Master’s program at SUNY on what
was supposed to be a research
assistantship. However, it turned out to
be an assistantship in teaching. I knew
after a very short time that I had found
my niche and would make it my
profession.”
Prior to her appointment at Wilkes, she
served on the faculty at SUNY-Albany
both as an adjunct professor and an
academic advisor. She has done research
in: Affirmative Action, Women and the
4 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
BEHUNIAK-LONG
Law, The Mass Media, and her Ph.D.
dissertation was entitled “Rocking the
Cradle: The Uncertain Policy of
Withholding Medical Treatment from
Anomalous Newborns.”
Dr. Behuniak-Long attributes
successful teaching to “presenting
material to students that will both engage
their minds and be relevant to their lives."
She believes that the enthusiastic
approach is a necessary part of teaching.
She said, “Enthusiasm is contagious, and
I am enthusiastic about what I teach. I
also believe in challenging students to
learn; in pushing them to their own
preconceived limits and beyond, and they
grow because of the challenge.”
In addition to her teaching at Wilkes,
Dr. Behuniak-Long has served as
Chairperson for the Teacher Recognition
and Effectiveness Committee, served as
curriculum advisor for 20 student majors,
reactivated the Political Science Club,
served as a member of the Constitutions
Bicentennial Committee and conducted a
Mock Constitutional Convention
involving Wilkes students and local hig
school students, and organized a food
drive and a material goods drive for the
needy of Wyoming Valley. She also
serves as a volunteer in the Big Brother^
Big Sisters Program of Wyoming VtllWShe is the daughter of Frank and
Barbara Behuniak, Peekskill, New Yor
and is married to Walter R. Long-
SORBER
Charles A. Sorber ’59, Dean of the
School of Engineering at the University
of Pittsburgh, and James H. Calkins '76,
President of Calkins Enterprises, Florida,
were honored as distinguished alumni by
Wilkes College at Commencement.
Sorber received the Eugene S. Farley
Memorial Award and Calkins the
Distinguished Young Alumnus Award.
Sorber, a Kingston, PA native, is a
renowned specialist in environmental
engineering. He earned his Master of
Science degree from Pennsylvania State
University and his Ph.D. from the
University of Texas at Austin.
Prior to his appointment at the
University of Pittsburgh, Sorber served
as the Associate Dean of the School of
Engineering at University of Texas. He is
nationally recognized for his research in
environmental areas generally, and in
water pollution and control specifically.
He is also well known for his work with
supercomputers. Sorber served on the
planning for the U.T. supercomputer at
Balcones Research Center, and will use
that expertise at the University of
Pittsburgh where a National Science
Foundation Supercomputer Center is now
in place.
Sorber has been awarded numerous
citations and is listed in: American Men
and Women of Science, Who’s Who in
America, Who's Who in Engineering,
Men of Achievement, Personalities of the
South, Who’s Who in the South and
Southwest.
He is a member of the Boards of
Directors of: M.P.C. Corporation, The
Bituminous Coal Research National
Laboratory, and the Pittsburgh Applied
Research Corporation. He is a consultant
for the United States Protection Agency
and the Pan American Health
Organization.
Dr. Sorber’s father, the late Merritt W.
Sorber, served for several years as the
Superintendent for the Northwest Area
School District. His mother, Marjory,
resides in Wilkes-Barre. His wife, Linda,
is a lawyer and is Assistant Director of
the University of Texas Development
Board.
Calkins ’76, is a native of Plymouth,
PA. After graduating from Wilkes, he
attended George Mason School of Law
where he earned his law degree. He then
moved to Palm Beach County in Florida,
and in 1980 was admitted to the Florida
Bar. Calkins, while still attending law
school, became interested in real estate
investment. With an operating budget of
only $50,000, he began purchasing,
rehabilitating, and selling properties.
That initial investment would grow in the
next five years into the Calkins
Enterprises, a multi-million dollar
venture employing 275 people.
Calkins sees his real estate
entrepreneurship as a means of serving
the needs of others, and he has
consistently searched for distressed
properties in distressed cities. He
purchases the property and rehabilitates
it, using local tradespeople to increase
employment, and then returns the
properties to support increased
occupancy and the local tax structure.
And this entrepreneurship has benefitted
several towns and cities in the United
States.
For example, in early 1984 the
International Harvester Plant at Fort
CALKINS
Wayne, Indiana, closed its doors. There
were few places in the Midwest more
distressed than unemployment-ravaged
Fort Wayne. Calkins began to purchase
real estate for rehabilitation there. Two
years later his total investment in five
major Fort Wayne properties had reached
$15,000,000.
At the present time his company,
Calkins Enterprises, owns and operates
approximately 45 to 50 million dollars
worth of real estate. Future plans for the
company include proposed acquisitions in
South Carolina. Ohio, Georgia, and
Florida.
Calkins and his wife, Wendy, are the
parents of three children. His parents,
Mr. and Mrs. James Calkins, Sr.. former
school teachers, are residents of
Plymouth, PA.

WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 5
�PRIMATIC
Each year at Commencement, Wilkes
College presents six major awards to
members of the graduating class who
have distinguished themselves through
academic achievement and exceptional
contributions to student life. These
awards are:
The Mabie Scott Wandell and
Sterling Leroy Wandell Awards —
presented to the man and woman graduate
having attained the highest academic
average for four years at Wilkes College.
The Humanities Award — established
in 1958 by Annette Evans, a member of
the Board of Trustees, and awarded to the
man or woman in the graduating class
who has demonstrated outstanding
scholarship in the humanities.
The Social Sciences Award — the
Hugo Mailey Memorial Award, given
annually to that graduate in the social
sciences who has best demonstrated
overall abilities in scholarship,
intellectual curiosity, and community
service during his or her career at Wilkes
College.
The Natural Sciences and
Mathematics Award — given annually
to the graduate who has attained the
highest academic accomplishment in the
pursuit of knowledge across the breadth
of the division.
Alumni Award for Leadership —
presented by the Wilkes College Alumni
Association to the member of the
6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
graduating class considered by a special
committee to have made the strongest
contribution to student life and the
student activities program of the college.
Nada Vujica Memorial Award —
established in 1972 in memory of Nada
Vujica, and given annually to a deserving
international student of the graduating
class.
Six awards and six outstanding students
seem a perfect match, but it is a credit to
the Class of 1987 that the matter is not
that simple. Each of these six students
garnered multiple honors at
Commencement ceremonies and various
events leading up to Commencement.
Several students shared awards, and
several awards shared the same recipient.
The records of the following students
speak volumes, showing that these
individuals, through their diverse
contributions and achievements,
exemplify the ideals of a Wilkes'
education.
This year, for the first time in Wilkes
history, four graduates tied for the honor
of the Wandell Awards. They are- Karen
Mane Dragon, Robert Louis Doran
Daniel R. Duttinger, Jr., and Agesino
Primatic, Jr.
Dragon, who graduated with a perfect
4.0 average, received the Bachelor of
Science degree in Computer Science at
Commencement. She is also the 1987
winner of the Computer Science Award,
and earlier this year, was named to
“Who’s Who Among Students in
American Universities and Colleges.”
During her four years at Wilkes,
Dragon was active in the Wilkes Circle K
Club, and played percussion with the
Wilkes College Wind Ensemble. She also
served as a tutor in the college Writing
Lab and Mathematics Department. An
outstanding member of the Wilkes
Cooperative Education Program, she
designed computer systems as an intern
for The Committee for Economic Growth
and the Economic Development Council
of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Her
dedication to these projects earned her
last year’s Keith A. Topfer Memorial
Award from the Cooperative Education
program.
Dragon attended Wilkes on a Trustees
Scholarship, and now plans to pursue
graduate work in her field. To date, she
has been accepted into graduate programs
at Johns Hopkins University, Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute, and University of
Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of
Marianne and Edmund Dragon, Danville,
PA.
Robert Louis Doran, in addition to
receiving the Wandell Award, was the
recipient of the 1987 J. J. Ebers Memorial
Award of the Institute for Electrical and
Electronic Engineers (IEEE). He served
as president of the Wilkes chapter ol that
t
organization, and was active in Sigma Pi
Sigma, the Physics student society.
Doran was a member of the Wilkes
Engineering student research team that
won top honors this year at both the
Walter B. Morton Research Paper
Competition, open to students from
Wilkes, Lehigh, Lafayette, and Bucknell;
and the prestigious Eastern Colleges
Science Conference (ECSC), open to
students from over 30 institutions
throughout the Eastern United States.
While at Wilkes, Doran was also a
research assistant in polymer dielectrics
at Jet Propulsion Laboratories, and
earned a National Science Foundation
Fellowship Honorable Mention.
The son of Robert and Rose Doran,
Wilkes-Barre, PA, he attended Wilkes on
the Walter S. Carpenter Memorial
Scholarship and a Presidential
Scholarship.
Duttinger graduated with a Bachelor of
Science degree in Accounting, and was
named as a winner of both the Wandell
Award and the Social Sciences Award. In
addition, he received the Award of
Excellence from the Pennsylvania
Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(PICPA) earlier this year; last year, he
was the first Wilkes recipient of the
PICPA First Place Scholarship Award.
During his college career, he assumed
an active role in student life, serving as a
resident assistant in two dormitories, and
as a member of the college's Academic
Standards Committee. He was a disc
jockey for WCLH-FM, the Wilkes radio
station; feature editor for The Beacon, the
college newspaper; and a debater on the
Wilkes Speech and Debate Team.
Duttinger recently accepted a position
with the firm of Arthur Andersen. New
York City. He is the son of Daniel and
Lois Duttinger, Sunbury.
BOLCAROVIC

Agesino Primatic, Jr., was a Wandell
Award winner and the Natural Sciences
and Mathematics Award winner. He
earned a Bachelor of Science degree in
Electrical Engineering from Wilkes, and
was named as the recipient of the
Outstanding Engineering Student and
Electrical Engineering Achievement
Awards.
Primatic was another member of the
award-winning research team that
excelled at the Walter B. Morton and
ECSC competitions. He served as a

Jeanne Primatic, Wilkes-Barre.
Two other students recognized at
Commencement for outstanding Wilkes
careers are Christine Bolcarovic and
Fatimah Jamaludin.
Bolcarovic was the recipient of both the
Humanities Award and the Alumni Award
for Leadership. A double major, she
earned a Bachelor of Arts in both
Communications and English, and was a
Dean’s List student. This year, she was
appointed as station manager for
WCLH-FM, and became the first woman
to hold that post in the station's 20-year
history.
Bolcarovic was active in the Wilkes
Theater, as cast member and musical
director for several productions, and in

�Charles H. Miner. Jr.. right,
receives congratulationsfrom
Christopher N. Breisethfor 50 years
ofdedicated service on the Wilkes
Board of Trustees.
The 1987 Spring Meeting of the Wilkes
College Board of Trustees will prove to
be especially memorable to members of
the Wilkes community in the years to
come. The meeting served not only as an
occasion to welcome a new Chairman of
the Board, but as an opportunity to honor
two individuals whose records of service
to the College as Board members are
unmatched. At a gala celebration held on
the eve of the Spring meeting, the Board
honored fellow members Charles H.
Miner, Jr., on the occasion of his fiftieth
anniversary as a Wilkes Trustee; and
William L. Conyngham, currently
serving in his thirty-fifth year on the
Board.
Family members and friends of the
Honorees joined in the tribute to the two,
and President Breiseth issued the
following resolutions to them, on behalf
of the Board of Trustees;
“Rarely, in the history of American
education, has an institution of higher
learning had the pleasure and privilege of
saluting a trustee on completion of fifty
years of service. In 1937, just three years
after his graduation from Harvard Law
School, Charles H. Miner, Jr., became a
member of the Advisory Council of
Bucknell University Junior College and
thereby planted the seed for his unique
and continuous relationship with Wilkes
College over the next half century.
“As a member of the original Board of
Trustees of the new Junior College and its
secretary for the next four years, until he
answered his country’s call in World War
II as a naval officer, Charles Miner
played a vital role in laying the
foundation for the growth and
8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
development of the Junior College and its
offspring, Wilkes College. In 1947, he
successfully chaired the committee
charged with the responsibility for
drafting the original Constitution and
By-Laws of Wilkes College and in the
following year resumed his role as 'Mr.
Secretary’ of the Board of Trustees, an
office he held thereafter for most of the
next thirty years.
"Faithfulness, integrity, and
steadfastness have characterized the
remarkable service that Charles Miner
has given Wilkes College for fifty years.
Serving in various important capacities
is Conyngham's wife, Corky.
from time to time, including Chairman of
the Capital Campaign for the Farley
Library, he has provided the Board of
Trustees with continuity and wisdom,
quietly but firmly mindful of the
important goals of the College. A
distinguished gentleman of the utmost
probity and commitment, Charles Miner
knew from his own intellectual ambience
and education the enormous significance
that a liberal arts institution held for the
future of the youth of and the quality of
life in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
"BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,
that the trustees of Wilkes College
Conyngham. secondfrom left. Pictured thirdfrom right
assembled on this 7th day of May in the
year 1987 acknowledge the long and
distinguished service and significant
contributions of Charles H. Miner, Jr. to
the well-being and development of the
College. The trustees sincerely express
their cherished wish that he continue his
faithful interest in the College for many
years to come.”
“In 1952, just ten years after his
graduation from Yale University and after
three years of distinguished service in
World War II as a naval officer in the
South Pacific, William L. Conyngham
was elected to membership on the Wilkes
College Board of Trustees. It is,
therefore, the Board’s special pleasure
and privilege to salute an outstanding
trustee who has completed thirty-five
years of continuous service to this
institution.
“In the course of the last thirty-five
years, William Conyngham has held a
series of important Board positions. He
has served as Treasurer of the College,
Chairman of the Instruction Committee
(now known as Academic Program),
Chairman of Finance, and is currently
Chairman of Nominations. In 1981, he
became the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees, a responsibility he fulfilled in
his accustomed exemplary fashion.
“In a lifetime devoted to a wide range
of activities, a life characterized by
profound devotion to family and
community, William Conyngham has
given his allegiance to Wilkes College a
primary place. Integrity, intelligence, and
humane understanding have
characterized the remarkable service that
William Conyngham has given Wilkes
College these past thirty-five years. He
has provided that Board with continuity
and stature and has presided over
ceremonial occasions with dignity and
style. From the background of his own
fine education and his inherent kindness,
he has generously endeavored to create
opportunities for the students of Wilkes
College and to enhance the usefulness of
this unique institution.
“BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED,
that the trustees of Wilkes College
assembled on this 7th day of May in the
year 1987, acknowledge the long and
distinguished service and significant
contributions of William L. Conyngham
to the well-being and development of the
College. The trustees sincerely express
their cherished wish that he continue his
faithful interest in the College for many
years to come.”
The entire Wilkes College family
echoes this wish of the Board, and joins
them in their respect and admiration for
Conyngham and Miner.

�“Evidence of increased
alumni participation is a very
important sign to foundations
and major donors”
we really can work together as a cohesive
team, while we are large enough to have a
diverse and comprehensive curriculum at
both the undergraduate and graduate
levels. The re-organization has also put
us in the position to study the question of
whether Wilkes ought to seek university
status.
Q. You mentioned considering university
status. If Wilkes does move in that
direction, will it be in the near future?
A. It will take at least two years from the
time the Board approves the decision to
formally apply to the Commonwealth. I
cannot predict at precisely what point we
might apply, but I think there is increased
interest on the part of all constituencies to
seriously consider this change. Many of
the reforms at the College and the
An Interview
with the President
Q. It’s been a year since we organized
into the new academic structure, giving
us the School of Engineering and
Physical Sciences, the College of Arts
and Sciences, and the School of Business
and Economics. What benefits have
students and faculty derived from this
new structure?
A. Externally, we have been able to
communicate our curricular programs
more effectively. Students have been able
to look at Wilkes in comparison with
other institutions in the professional
areas. When we look at this year’s
recruitment statistics, we find that the
new structure has had a direct impact on
increasing enrollment in particular areas
such as Engineering and Pre-med.
Internally, we have had more creativity
this past year when working to reform the
core curriculum, developing a
performance evaluation system affecting
salary decisions, and expanding faculty
development across the disciplines, to
create the new curriculum that is
emerging at Wilkes.
This restructuring has promoted a
sense of teamwork by people throughout
the College. Wilkes is small enough that
10 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
tightening up of procedures and systems
within the College have put us in a strong
position to make the application for
university status if the Board judges this
to be a wise step.
Q. It’s clear that Wilkes, whether it
moves to university status or not, is a
College on the move. You have credited
much of the recent progress to the quality
of our alumni. How has their support and
interaction helped?
A. In two major respects. The first is
financial alumni giving has increased
by 18% over the past year. Evidence of
increased alumni participation is a very
important sign to foundations and major
donors that the recipients of the Wilkes
education are loyal and want to keep the
institution healthy. Each year that we are
able to show an increased proportion of
alumni contributing to the College, we
strengthen our fundraising potential
elsewhere.
A second, equally important show of
support includes ever-increasing alumni
involvement in helping to identify
students for recruitment, representing
Wtlkes at College Fairs, helping students
locate internships or co-op ed
experiences, assisting students with
career placement opportunities in their
firms or practices — all contributing to a
sense that we are a connected family.
Participation by alumni in fundraising
recruitment, and career placement helps’
show the world, including our students
and prospective students, that this is not
only a talented but also a dedicated family
of Wilkes people.
Q. The Budget Crunch — We are all
feeling that crunch both on federal and
state levels. What about Wilkes College
financial aid packages? Are we doing
anything that is looking at short-range,
long-range goals to make education more
accessible?
A. The efforts of our Financial Aid
Office in concert with the Admissions
Office have made the financial aid that is
available from the College, from the
state, and from the federal government
much more accessible to our students.
Our Financial Aid Office has a reputation
of being very sensitive to the needs of our
new students. We are spending a large
amount of money out of our operating
budget to fund student aid. We are
attempting through the present capital
campaign to increase our endowment so
that it can be directed at more scholarship
assistance.
I happen also to believe that public
sources of loans and outright grants will
gradually increase as the public support
for education grows. This sector of our
economy will receive its share of tax
dollars. That is perhaps an optimistic
view, but I think the Presidential
candidates of both parties, as well as
governors throughout the nation, have
recognized the absolute centrality of an
effective education system, if America is
to be competitive in a world economy.
That means education from pre-school on
through Ph.D. training in graduate school
and continuing education throughout
one’s adult life.
The challenge to a college like Wilkes
is to be worthy of the students who join us
to advance their own education and to be
eligible for whatever public financing
strategies have been authorized by the
taxpayers. I’m optimistic that we will do
well with both private sector dollars as
well as public dollars.
Q- Would you advise then that college is
still a good investment for parents who
have to pick up the tab for their children’s
education?
A. I am hard-pressed to look at the
world’s economy and see what
opportunities are available to a young
person without a college education.
Students may get specialized training for
some technical fields where fairly good
salaries are possible. But leadership and
even middle-level management jobs in all
sectors of our national life are going to
people who have prepared themselves
through higher education and continuing
education. Thus, parents who do not find
ways to help their children to gain access
to this marvelous educational system of
ours, are really abandoning them to a
complex economy that will change even
more dramatically over the next 40 years
than over the last four decades.
We in higher education are also being
forced to change dramatically because of
the requirements of a new economy.
That’s part of what I see happening at
Wilkes, in a very exciting way. With over
70% of our students in pre-professional
programs, we are required to find new
and effective ways to balance a liberal
arts and science education on the one
hand, and a rather focused
pre-professional and professional
education on the other. This balance is
being called for across the country, while
one may earn a professional credential at
college, one should be educated as a
whole person, ready to be an ethically
aware, moral individual within a
profession, as well as citizen and perhaps
a parent. For students to be directly
involved in this educational process,
along with their teachers, is an urgent
need. Wilkes is going to be right in the
middle of reform efforts to meet this
need.
Q. Parents are confused because the
Secretary of Education is constantly
attacking colleges and universities. I
understand that you recently responded,
in national media, to those attacks. Can
you briefly say why he is doing this?
A. In asking that question you, of
course, trigger the historian in me.
America has always been ambivalent
about higher education. There is a strong
anti-intellectual streak in our history that
is the other side of our commitment to
education. Bill Bennett is, himself, a
product of that education system. I
observed him as a student at Williams
College when I was there on the faculty.
He is a very bright man. I think, without
getting into a psychological analysis of
Dr. Bennett, he reflects some of the anger
against intellectuals in America, which is
expressed by many in the present national
Administration. The abandonment in the
1960’s and 1970’s by university faculty of
rigorous discipline learning offended Bill
Bennett deeply, as a serious scholar and
humanist. He let that anger spill over in
his present job by campaigning against
the institution of higher education. In
taking on the most obvious symbols of
that system — Harvard, Yale, Princeton
— he ignored the impact of his attack on
more modest institutions such as Wilkes,
and many of our sister institutions in this
region, which are struggling with the
financial realities of small endowments,
heavy dependence on tuition income, and
families with modest incomes who want
the best education possible for their
children.
To our kind of people Bennett’s attack
has been irresponsible in the extreme. He
has damaged the middle rank, modestly
financed private institutions, which
account for some of the best quality
higher education for middle and lower
income Americans. That he comes from
such a background himself, makes his
cavalier attack all the more confusing. At
the same time, there is evidence that
privately, he has received the message
from members of both parties, who are
listening to their constituents and
realizing that while we are all concerned
with cutting the deficit and moving
towards a balanced budget, severe cuts in
financial support for education are
self-defeating if America is to increase
the quality of her performance in an
increasingly competitive world.
Q. Can you give me what you think
should be Wilkes' top five priorities'?
A. Educationally, the top priority is
completing our review of the core
curriculum, which is our effort to make
sure that our general education
component and the student’s major or
professional area are in balance. In
almost every other area of need at the
College, additional funds would go far to
alleviate the pressures we feel and allow
us to take advantage of the opportunities
that are there. Hence, the Capital
Campaign and with it the ongoing Annual
Campaign are top priorities.
We will be working through the next
two or three years with every'
constituency to reach our ambitious goal
of $18,000,000 forthe Capital
Campaign. The priorities of that
campaign are threefold. Let these be my
priorities three, four and five. One is
increasing endowment to improve faculty
salaries. A second is increasing
endowment to expand scholarship and
financial aid for our students. A third is
the construction of a new Sports and
Conference Center. The last will cost
$5,000,000. This is a large sum of
money, particularly for Wilkes College.
But I am convinced that the impact on the
quality of student life on this campus
from the construction of this building,
and the signal that its successful
completion will give to our many
constituents, will be the greatest shot in
the arm Wilkes has had in the last quarter
century'. I can scarcely overemphasize the
importance of raising the money to
complete that project.

The Uses of Learning
L
First of all, permit me to say what a
great honor and pleasure it is for me to be
here and to participate in the
commencement exercises of Wilkes
College. Although a relatively young
institution of higher learning, Wilkes has
already had its impact not only on this
community but in the area and in the
nation. I have no doubt that its service
and effectiveness will continue to grow
under the dynamic leadership of one
whom I had the pleasure of having in my
classes some years ago. Dr. Christopher
Breiseth. It is especially thrilling for me
to become an alumnus of this institution
and thus to enjoy still another intimate
association with the Breiseths and Wilkes
College. I am grateful to this institution
for its expression of confidence and
esteem.
Secondly, permit me to extend to the
members of the graduating class, their
parents, loved ones, and friends my
heartiest congratulations for reaching this
significant milestone. By your arrival at
this juncture, you have indicated a
capacity and a willingness to move to the
next stage in your education, whether it
be a formal pursuit in graduate or
professional school or to take up the
duties of a constructive contributor to
some aspect of life here or elsewhere. I
hope that the members of the graduating
class will join me in expressing thanks to
the officers and instructional staff of this
college and to the parents and others who
have made this day possible by their
sacrificial contributions in numerous
ways. For their help, I know that the
graduates are truly grateful. And there
are those whom you have never seen and
12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
An Address by Professor John Hope Franklin ofDuke
University, at the Commencement Exercises of Wilkes College,
May 17, 1987
will never know who have given much to
the enormous fund of knowledge from
which you have drawn and will continue
to draw. They are the dreamers, the
gifted scientists, the talented humanists,
the poets and philosophers, the great men
and women who have stimulated our
thinking, inspired moments of grandeur
for us all, and moved us to work even
beyond our own capacities to fulfill the
dreams that each of us holds for
tomorrow. We are grateful to them for
helping us see the distinction between
ourselves and lower orders of beings.
The sheer volume of information that
the members of this class have been able
to acquire would put to shame that
knowledge available to the college
graduate of a mere half-century ago. For
those of us who are separated from this
graduating class by a half-century or
more, it is difficult to resist the
temptation to envy you for the wonderful
academic fare on which you have been
able to feast. With a curriculum much
richer in so many ways than ours was,
you who graduate today have been
exposed to new sciences such as nuclear
energy and space technology and to a
completely new language of the
computer, to say nothing of the
availability to you of numerous African,
Asian, and exotic languages from the four
corners of the earth. These areas have
brought within your reach the great
civilizations as well as the immortal
wisdom of the great sages of China,
Japan, India, Russia, and Egypt, to name
a very few.
I assure you that I will not envy you for
your academic achievements, whatever
they may be. I can only congratulate you
for what you have done here and hope
that you will use what you have learned
here in a way that will bring great credit
to you and the society of which you are a
I
I
part. Indeed, it is the uses of learning
about which I wish to speak to you quite
briefly.
Twenty years ago. at the height of the
so-called revolutionary movement on
campus, students expressed the deepest
concern for their fellow human beings on
and off the campus. Indeed, the selfless,
compassionate concern on the part of
those young people — whether it was for
the victims of the Vietnamese conflict or
for those who fell before Bull Connor’s
fire hoses in Birmingham — was one of
the most inspiring moments of our recent
history. We can all admire the idealism of
those young people as they demanded that
the world be made over according to their
designs, and the sooner the better. They
demanded courses that were relevant to
the problems of the day; and with the
knowledge thus gained they declared that
they would set out to rectify the ills of
society. They were not necessarily good
judges of what academic programs could
best serve their objectives; and all too
often they insisted that their advisors and
counselors set up programs for them that
would suit their fancy if not their needs.
They would have received a much better
education had they listened more
attentively to the voices of wisdom and
experience. As it was, they entered upon
their careers with an idealism that was
often greater then their skills.
All was not lost, however, but it did
mean that the graduates of a generation
ago spent an inordinate amount of time
and energy overcoming what can only be
called naivete and, in the process, losing
some of the idealism that had promised to
take us into a newer, better world. And
many of them turned out to be quite
different people from what one would
have reasonably expected them to be.
Having dined sufficiently on a collegiate
fare of radical social consciousness they
turned to their own development, looking
toward a degree of financial stability for
themselves and forgetting much of their
earlier intense concern for others. They
went into Wall Street or its local
equivalent. They became experts in
mergers and takeovers, hostile or
friendly. They joined corporate law firms
that provided counsel for such activities.
They began to spurn socially responsible
but financially unattractive careers in
teaching, social work, public safety, and
other positions in the public interest.
Meanwhile, their interest in community
improvement, higher standards of public
education, and the eradication of racism
WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
13
�in our society lagged as they found little
time, interest, or inclination to deal with
such matters. Thus, the very group of
which the nation had every reason to
expect so much and which had vowed to
change the world for the better could no
longer be relied upon to do anything for
anybody except themselves.
It has been suggested that the forces
that transformed the generation of
idealistic social activists into leaders of
the me-too generation were created by the
hyperactivity of the group during their
college and post-baccalaureate years.
They experienced what some have called
the “burn-out” that left them suffering
from varying degrees of social, political,
and even moral lassitude. I am not
prepared to make a diagnosis of their case
and reach conclusions about the causes of
their malady. Nor am I prepared to say
that all or even most of that generation
was infected with the virus. What I can
say is that our society, suffering as it does
from virtually every form of social ill,
from family disintegration to racism to
child abuse to lawlessness, cannot afford
to lose any of its more intellectually
privileged men and women to
over-zealous advocacy or to intensive
self-aggrandizement that tends to bum
them out.
The experiences of some earlier
generations, at times intense and frenetic,
at times inward-looking and self-serving,
suggest that perhaps we should
reconsider the uses of learning. I have no
doubt that when people begin their
pursuit of higher education their objective
is to secure the very best training possible
in order to prepare them for a full and
satisfying life of service. Anyone who
has taught undergraduates has doubtless
been impressed with the idealism, the
sense of social responsibility, the
commitment, and the determination to
seek self-fulfillment through service to
others. I do not mean to imply any
sentimentalism or disingenuousness on
their part, for they usually combine their
admirable idealism with a hard-headed
realism regarding the nature of society
and its problem.
It is not difficult to maintain this
admirable posture throughout college, for
the entire academic climate offers support
for its continuation. I would be the last
one, moreover, to suggest that the years
in college have a hardening effect that
turns idealists into cynics. Indeed, the
years spent at institutions like this one
usually have the effect of reaffirming and
highlighting the importance of exploring
and absorbing the world of learning as an
important preparation for the
post-collegiate years. It is in the years
following graduation, however, when the
14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
going gets tough and when the real world
begins to take its toll, that one tends to
lose sight of the worthy objectives that
had been so well-formulated during those
undergraduate years. The pressures to
acquire and maintain financial stability
are frequently so great, even among the
more affluent, that it becomes a
preoccupation if not an obsession, to the
exclusion of virtually everything else.
Before one is able to realize what has
happened, he or she has been caught up in
a meaningless and fruitless pursuit of
material things, as if they contributed
something significant, in the long run, to
making this a more healthful, sane, and
civilized world in which to live.
“What kind of reassessment
will you be able to make of
yourselfa decade from now
and by what standards will
you make that assessment?”
It is at this point that one must raise the
question, in all seriousness, about the
uses of learning. A college curriculum is
carefully designed to expose the student
to a variety of subjects, most of which
have little or no vocational or even
professional objectives. History,
literature, philosophy, political science,
sociology, languages, mathematics, and
similar subjects are at the heart of a
college education. They were not placed
there to send the graduate rushing out into
the world with an almost mindless
determination to amass a fortune and, in
the process, to run roughshod over one’s
peers and competitors. They were placed
there to provide a quality of life for those
exposed to such subjects, to shape one’s
outlook and attitude toward the world as
well as one’s fellows, and, perhaps most
of all, to sharpen one’s sense of social
responsibility.
What good will it do for you to amass a
fortune if you live in a world threatened
by a nuclear holocaust and the only thing
you have done about it is to hold your
fortune ever closer to your chest? How
well can you enjoy your own security,
financial and otherwise, while much of
the world starves and with thousands of
homeless and hungry people yearning for
succor here in our own country? How
much time can you devote, out of your
busy lives, to work for the improvement
of your community as it faces problems
of unemployment, housing, education,
the environment, and race relations? Will
you value your own family, your school,
and other community institutions to the
extent that you will devote time, energy,
and resources to their preservation and
improvement? Will you take the time to
reflect upon your own life, your own
pains and pleasures, your own failures
and successes? What kind of
reassessment will you be able to make of
yourself a decade from now and by what
standards will you make that assessment?
Let me venture to suggest that you have
already been exposed to the best answers
to those questions. You certainly learned
that there is no such thing as safety from
nuclear destruction so long as one nuclear
device remains in the world, and that
device, wherever it is, requires our
attention to its eventual dismantling.
(And it is well to remember that this
nuclear device can be in any one of
perhaps a dozen countries.) You have
learned that there are sufficient resources
in the world to provide food and shelter
for all of the world’s needy if we would
place at their disposal our generosity as
well as our organizing skills. You must
know that if you do not use your ample
knowledge and talents to address the
problems of your community, it is not
reasonable to ask others to do it for yo
You have learned how fragile the family
and other basic social institutions are, and
that your own happiness and well-being
depend on your willingness to invest
yourself, literally, in the happiness and
stability that can come only from such a
commitment.
Then, there is your own self, with
whom you must live and whose ability to
perform effectively and successfully
derives from your assessment of your
own worth as well as respect for the
dignity of others. Your sense of self and
your sense of responsibility can provide a
sure guide for all that you do for yourself
and for others. Finally, you have, I hope,
a full appreciation and understanding of
the social responsibility that should
permeate all learning. It means that
whatever we have learned and whatever
we do with what we have learned, we
must be ever mindful that society looks to
you and to all of us to use that knowledge
for the benefit of all. That is, after all, the
highest use to which learning can be put;
and I commend it to you new graduates
on this your day of days.

Man-of-the-Year in the Arts; and in 1986

The following citation was conferred
by President Breiseth.
Honorary Degree Citation
For Samuel Hazo
May 17,1987
Samuel Hazo, as teacher, editor, and
poet you have helped bring men and
women in touch with themselves.
Drawing upon personal and spiritual
roots in the Holy Land, and from a sense
of time linking you with the ancient
Assyrians as well as with your
grandchildren’s grandchildren, you have
drawn from the full canvas of one human
drama to make the daily experiences of
each of us part of the universal. Magna
Cum Laude graduate of Notre Dame
University and Doctor of Philosophy in
English from the University of
Pittsburgh, you have spent nearly three
decades at Duquesne University where
you have been student, English Professor,
Dean, and Director of the International
Poetry Forum. Focusing your talents and
energies on your adopted city, you have
helped make Pittsburgh a city of poetry.
Pittsburgh in return has named you her
poet. A Marine Captain who knew the
Korean War, a member of corporate
boards who knows and understands the
captains of industry as well as the
workingman, an entrepreneur of culture
who has helped secure support for art as a
necessity of life, you have helped bridge
the marketplace and the mind. Reader of
your own poems throughout America and
the world, you need no text to read from
because your poetry is you. Conscious
and sharing of your role as son, husband
and father, your poetry helps make vivid
for the rest of us those relationships we
take the most for granted. You underscore
our connectedness not only with those
closest to us but with those who lived
thousands of years ago and those who
have yet to be bom.
As we join with others, who even this
weekend seek to pay you honor, we recall
your challenge to your freshmen to “dare
life as lovers dare the dark and learn less
stubbornly than blinded soul that light
comes from within or not a all.” For our
graduates today we recall your challenge
to a son:
“After you learn that governments
lie and happiness is undefinable and
death has no patience, you’ll
understand me. Meanwhile the
ignorant but well informed will try
to keep you mute as a shut book.
“Forecasters of the best and worst
will hurry to retreat infallibly into
the future.
“Ministers who talk on cue with
God will weigh you dowm like
serious furniture.
“Assume that what you lose to such
distractions you will gain in
strength.
"By then you’ll learn that all you
know will help you less than how
you think.”
By the power vested in me by the Board
of Trustees and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, I confer upon Samuel
Hazo the degree of Doctor of Humane
Letters with all the rights and privileges
pertaining thereto.

Joseph J. Pinola, Class of 1949 and
member of the Board since 1979, has
accepted the Honorary Chairmanship of
the 18 million dollar WILKES
TOMORROW Campaign. The following
is an excerpt from Pinola’s message to
friends of Wilkes:
Dear Friend:
When Ifirst learned ofthe College’s
plans for what has become the WILKES
TOMORROW Campaign, I remarked that
it was an ambitious program. And that it
has proven to be.
The Board of Trustees has embarked on
a comprehensive plan, tying together the
key elements ofany college: students,
faculty and rhe academic program.
Students are, ofcourse, the point ofit
all. They are truly the ‘‘seeds oftime"
which we must nourish at this critical
time in their development. That‘s why
Campaign objectives emphasize students,
their needforfinancial support, their
needfor superiorfacilities, their needfor
a distinguishedfaculty, and above all,
their needfor an academic program of
the highest quality.
As a Californian, I’m especially
impressed with the way Wilkes College
looksfrom my perspective. As a center of
engineering and science, as a leader in
business education, yet firmly grounded
in the liberating arts and sciences, Wilkes
has carefully and deliberately set its
priorities to serve the students oftoday,
the leaders oftomorrow. The very theme
ofour endeavor, WILKES TOMORROW,
stresses the point ofthis campaign: to get
our College and our students even more
preparedfor the challenges to come.
Of the 543 Wilkes degree recipients at
the 40th Annual Commencement, 105
received Masters degrees from the
Wilkes College Division of Graduate
Studies. These students successfully
completed the requirements for a Wilkes

Wilkes Athletes of the Year
The Wilkes Department of Nursing has
announced the formation of a new
Nursing Advisory Board, composed of
community leaders, legislators, and
health care and educational professionals
from throughout the region.
According to department chairperson
Ann Marie Kolanowski, M.S., R.N., the
board was formed to assist the
department as it faces the educational and
health care challenges of the 1990’s. She
explains, “The individuals who will
serve us in this capacity are eminently
qualified to do so, and we are pleased that
they have accepted this challenge. They
will provide an invaluable service as we
examine the directions, concerns, and
issues that we, and our students, must
address as educators and practitioners in
the health care field.”
NEWS NOTE — The Department of
Nursing recently established a new
procedure that will allow diploma and
associate degree R.N.’s to begin to earn
baccalaureate Nursing degrees from
Wilkes by challenging a single exam, the
Mosby Assessment Test, instead of
challenging the three eight-credit courses
previously required for admission. Use of
the Mosby Test, which was designed to
evaluate knowledge gained in the basic
nursing program, will facilitate the
acceptance of R.N.’s who are
well-qualified through professional
experience, yet because of time and
expense limitations, would otherwise not
be able to take the required courses.

�Dr. Robert Brown is recognized both
regionally and nationally as one of
the foremost authorities and
spokesmen on AIDS research. He has
worked tirelessly to educate the
public on issues dealing with this
international crisis.

Dan Kopen, M.D., class of'70, has
completed spearheading an effort at
Wilkes College that led to the publication
of the first edition of the Wilkes
Physicians Annual Report: The Report
calls attention to the over 450 Physicians
who graduated from Wilkes College and
who now are emanent physicians,
teachers, and administrators in various
fields of medicine. Because of limited
space we are able to give you only the
briefest kind of example taken from the
Report. We profile two of the students
and three of the Physicians who are
among the hundreds of success stories
that began here at Wilkes College.

educational efforts in Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
As Managers
Charles A. Krivenko graduated cum
laude in biology from Wilkes College in
1964 and received his M.D. degree from
Temple University School of Medicine in
1968.
He served his internship at the
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital between
1968 and 1969 and his residency at the
Tyler Memorial Hospital in
Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania. Dr.
Krivenko began his family practice in
1969 and was affiliated with rural family
practice in Laceyville, Pennsylvania.
Between 1971 and 1986 Dr. Krivenko
was in family practice and pediatrics with
the Dallas Family Practice, Dallas,
Pennsylvania, before moving to General
Medical Services in Dallas,
Pennsylvania, where he now practices.
Dr. Krivenko earned certification from
the American Board of Family Practice in
1973 and has served as a fellow of the
Board from 1978 until the present time.
He is licensed to practice both in the state
of Pennsylvania and the state of Vermont
and is currently pursuing the Master of
Health Administration degree at Wilkes
College in its graduate division.
Between 1978 and 1985 he was a
member of the program committee and
the teaching faculty at the Wilkes-Barre
Family Practice Residency. He also
served at the Carlos Otis Clinic in
Stratton, Vermont, on the doctor rotation
program. He is on staff at the
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital; Mercy
Hospital, Wilkes-Barre; and Nesbitt
Memorial Hospital, Kingston,
Pennsylvania. In addition, he holds
membership in several professional
societies including the American Medical
Association, the Pennsylvania Medical
Society, the Luzerne County Medical
Society, the Greater Delaware Valley
Regional Medical Program (Board of
Directors), the American Heart
Association, the Back Mountain Intensive
Care Unit, and the American College of
Sports Medicine.
In his studies relating to the M.H. A.,
Dr. Krivenko has done intensive research
into the MEDISGROUPS systems and on
“Medical Goals in an Aging Population.”
His activities associated with M.H.A.
have included:
• Development of strategic marketing
plan for implementation and acceptance
of the MEDISGROUPS system to the
Wilkes-Barre General Hospital staff as
a function of compliance with Pa. Act
89 (the cost containment council act)
The project involved the collection of
data on staff physician attitudes toward
regulation and review, the design of an
educational schedule, and the design of
an implementation calendar and plan
for the system.
• Attendance at Mediqual, Inc.
Pittsburgh conference on physician
evaluation through the
MEDISGROUPS system.
Development of a plan for
dissemination of clinical and financial
data generated by the MEDISGROUPS
system at the Wilkes-Barre General
Hospital.
• Study of intensity of care and outcome
of the selected diagnoses of acute
myocardial infarction and pneumonia
using the MEDISGROUPS system for
standardization of severity of illness at
the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital,
Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
Dr. Charles A. Krivenko states that
"as medicine inceases in its
complexity both in its technology’ and
organization, there is an increasing
needfor the physician-manager, a
person who understands the language
ofboth administrators and clinicians,
who is able to consolidate, transfer
and add information to benefit all
parties." In this area Dr. Krivenko
has taken a leadership role.

Renee Strucke
Renee Strucke was looking at options
and opportunities that would give her the
kind of intensive real laboratory
experience that she wanted to add to an
already impressive undergraduate
profile.
“I was applying to labs but doing it
blindly in a kind of hit or miss format
because there isn't a lot of literature out
there that gives you specifics about the
research you will be doing. But I
continued the applications procedure and
watched for opportunities.”
The opportunity presented itself in the
form of a guest lecturer who w as invited
to speak to biology majors as a guest of
the department's lecture series. Dr. Jack
Able, Professor of Biology and Director
of the Center for .Molecular Bioscience at
Lehigh University spoke to students on
reproductive biology at the molecular
level. Renee took advantage of the
department’s policy that gives students
access to all guest lecturers as experts in
various fields of the biological sciences.
“We met and talked about several
things including my areas of interest and
my goals. Before Dr. Abel left campus I
6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
knew the graduate research program I
wanted was at The Lehigh Center for
Molecular Biosciences and Bio
Technology in Bethlehem, PA, and that
the research would be in cell biology of
the ovaries.” She applied for and was
accepted for the project.
On June 15, 1988, Renee met with
members of the team with whom she
would be working for the summer. “I was
more than a little nervous at the very
beginning, but that disappeared almost
immediately because I realized that I was
well prepared to deal with all the ideas
and implications the research required. I
w-as comfortable and really enjoyed the
next several weeks.”
The research project centered on one
goal, that was to find a diagnostic method
(or kit) that could be used to detect
ovarian cancer in its earliest stages.
Renee speaks consistently about the
team spirit that existed in the lab. There
were graduate students, post doctoral
fellows, Ph.D’s and physicians working
together. She feels she had first hand
exposure and hands-on experience to
advanced technology and equipment as
well as to advanced methods in cell
biology research.
And, Renee feels that it was all a
positive experience because of the
undergraduate education she received at
Wilkes. Because of the academic
atmosphere within the Department of
Biology, which includes not only the
curriculum but the interaction between
faculty and students, the faculty student
research projects that are ongoing and the
overall exposure to good sound basics in
science and liberal arts, I was able to
function as a viable part of the research
team at Lehigh University.
I am sure now that I can pursue
whatever area I want to pursue. My
choice is solidified now, and I’ve decided

Manbeth Montaldi
Maribeth Montaldi got a taste of what
medical school will be like this past
summer, when she was one of eleven
students in the country chosen to conduct
research through the University of
Medicine and Dentistry of New
Jersey-Robert Wood Johnson Program at
Rutgers University. According to
Montaldi, the experience was both
challenging and rewarding.
“What makes the program so
challenging and so great to be a part of is
that there are undergraduates in the
program from schools from all over the
country working on graduate level
research projects in a medical school
atmosphere. It was very demanding but it
was well worth it. The facilities were
outstanding, and now, because I had the
opportunity to experience that type of
independent atmosphere, I am able to
better organize myself. I am more
confident and organized in my lab work.
Maribeth’s soft-spoken outward
characteristics seem to be in contrast with
her strong determination and the type of
schedule she maintained during the
Robert Woods Program. Many of the
students were looking for breaks from the
work load to relax and alleviate some of
the stress, but Montaldi said she wasn’t
really overwhelmed by the workload,
although it was very demanding. “If
there is something worthwhile,
something I want, I will go after it and try
my best to achieve it.”
Montaldi’s research was on the effects
of sugars and proteins on aging and
diabetes, and specifically the relationship
to cataracts, kidney problems and
stiffening of tendons in joints. Others in
the program worked on separate research
projects, and according to Maribeth, they
all had different experiences. She said she
enjoyed the diversity of her colleagues
and the experience of working with
several specialists in a medical school
atmosphere.
“I had the opportunity to interact with
medical students and professors, and I
attended interesting seminars, although I
think it was the interaction with people
that was most valuable and enjoyable.
Everyone was conducting individual
research on their own projects and there
were so many specialists who could help
you in different areas of your own
research.”
Currently she is working with Dr.
Lester Turoczi, chairman of the Biology
department. They are conducting Ames
Tests on various chemicals to determine if
certain substances in the environment are
dangerous to D.N.A.
She is very happy with the opportunity
to be able to do this kind of research with
Turoczi. “The faculty student research at
Wilkes is great, especially combined with
the courses that are offered. It is so much
better to be taught by professors and to
work with professors on research. At
larger institutions it is usual to have
teaching assistants or graduates assistants
working with undergraduate students.”
Maribeth’s goals have changed since
her freshman year at Wilkes. “When I
first enrolled, I came for the optometry
program. But several of my professors,
especially those in Biology, gave us
exposure to many areas of science,
including medicine.
From the Desk
of the President..
Dear Alumni,
As I look at the ambitious efforts everywhere in evidence on campus this
fall, I am eager to find ways to stay in touch with all segments of the Wilkes
community. We need you as alumni to be a vital part of our community. I have
resolved to review with you happenings and issues to stimulate
communication, suggestions, and initiatives that can help further strengthen
Wilkes.
I will use this letter in the Quarterly to keep you informed. I hope you will
write, call, or visit me in response to these communiques so that we can be in
touch. If you cannot reach me. talk with my new Executive Assistant. Dr.
Robert Heaman.
Now to bring you up to date.
Board Meeting
The Wilkes Board of Trustees met on September 15. 1988. Amidst
evidence of much change on campus, members toured renovated buildings
and reviewed changed space assignments for many activities including
additional space for residence halls. The Board heard the report on
enrollment indicating that Wilkes has its largest freshman class in almost a
decade. We have opened the semester with 1,892 full-time undergraduates
compared with 1,7000 in 1987. Such a dramatic increase stimulated much
discussion on how we plan to meet future pressures for classroom and
laboratory space, parking, and dormitories. I indicated that the administration
would present a report at the December Board meeting suggesting options to
consider for both short- and long-term planning. Clearly, one of the most
important factors for our short-term planning is the successful retention of
this new class of freshmen and transfer students. In addition, the efforts of the
Admissions staff working with all of us, including alumni, to recruit the Class
of 1993 can have a great impact on the College’s future.

Solid Science Base Leads to
Medical & Graduate Schools
Wilkes College students who plan on
medical school have a 90 percent success
rate in gaining admission. Once admitted,
they frequently return to Wilkes to tell
former professors how well they were
prepared for the rigorous medical school
curriculum.
But you won't find a “ pre- med"
major in the catalog. Although Wilkes
offers a variety of special services for
students who choose this demanding
field, pre- med students do well because
they are expected to meet the same liberal
arts standards as all other students, said
Biology Department Chairman Lester
Turoczi.
He should know.
Some 90 percent of the students who
plan to attend medical school major in
8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
biology at Wilkes, and nearly 80 percent
of the 175 biology majors plan to work in
the health sciences. Yer Dr. Turoczi is
adamant that his is not strictly a “ pre
med” department.
“We teach biology,” he says.
He and his colleagues al) do research
and they expect their biology majors to do
likewise. “We help students hone their
skills as young scientists,” he said.
Why is biology such a popular major
for those who plan on medicine as a
career? “Chemistry is tough,” he said.
“Physics is tougher.” Not because the
courses are harder but because the
systematic thinking skills which help
people excel in chemistry and physics arc
“a mindset that’s not widely distributed
when brain hemispheres arc given out.”
Agreeing that his discipline is difficult,
chemistry Prof. Frank Salley contends
that it’s also a good predictor of success
in continuing studies. “The best predictor
of how well you can do in the health
sciences is how well you do in organic
chemistry,” he said.
And students can’t avoid the rigors of
chemistry by majoring in biology — there
is a great cross over of information
between the two, Turoczi and Salley
said.
Even students who plan on medical
school must pick an academic major and
complete all its requirements from the
related sciences to English composition.
One of Turoczi’s favorite pre-medical
students was an English literature major.
And Turoczi thinks that’s just fine.
“We try to say, we’ll teach you biology
— not medicine. Let the graduate
program do what it does best and layer on
top of the good base developed at
Wilkes.”
Though students might not agree while
they’re on campus — some would prefer
to be practicing neurosurgeons after a few
months as undergraduates, he quips —
most of those who come back to visit
after enrolling in professional school
agree that “they can’t believe how well
prepared they were for professional
school.”
Nonetheless, students who identify
themselves as “ pre- med” get special
support on campus, said Dr. Ralph
Rozelle, dean of health sciences. They
are closely advised to ensure they meet
medical school admissions standards and
they are closely counselled to ensure that
they can handle the pressures of this very
demanding preparatory work.
The commitment is long-standing,
Rozelle says, In the 1960 s, Dr. Charles
Myers did research for the Luzerne
County Medical Society which indicated
that 60 percent of the physicians in
Northeastern Pennsylvania were over 55
years old. The implication was clear —
when they retired in the none-too-distant
future, the region would be severely “
underserviced,” Rozelle said.
Reacting to that research, Wilkes
developed a six-year medical program in
cooperation with Hahnemann Medical
College. Students admitted into the
highly competitive program studied two
years at Wilkes and moved directly to
medical school, earning both a Bachelor
of Science degree from Wilkes and a
medical degree from Hahnemann.
Because the two formed a joint
admissions committee, Wilkes students
had a much better than average chance of
being admitted to medical school.
“The program was a tremendous
success,” Salley said, bringing in the
very top students and encouraging them
to stay in Northeastern Pennsylvania
Rozelle echoes that the vast majority of
the 27 to 35 year old physicians
practicing in this area are graduates of the
Wilkes- Hahnemann program.
That program was disbanded recently,
but a new agreement with the
Philadelphia College of Osteopathic
Medicine has been established this year.
Although this program takes seven years
to complete, it offers the student the
same option of a quicker degree and more
reliable acceptance into medical school,
and it offers the community the same
reassurance that new primary care
physicians will continue to establish their
practices in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Recognizing that the fast-track medical
program is an intense, high-pressure
academic situation, the federal
government supported a psychological
counseling element, specifically for these
students.
“These are very serious and very
competitive students,” Rozelle said.
“The counseling program helps to relieve
the stress.”
Wilkes faculty members Prof. Joseph
Kanner, Dr. Carl Chametskiand Dr.
Joseph Bellucci were named to help.
Although government support has run
out. the college has continued the
counselling program, Rozelle said.
Informal counseling also occurs in
relationships with other faculty.
“The personal touches that we make
claims about at Wilkes are the real
thing,” Turoczi said. “It’s not just hype
and propaganda.”
As he talks a student pops in for advice
on a scheduling problem. Turoczi knows
his name, the background of the problem
and several options he might try. He also
knows the student’s reason for returning
to college after several years in business;
his hopes for the future, and his academic
quality.
“We counsel with our students,” he
says. “We interact socially to make them
__________ *i_________
more comfortable.»»” Building
on those
friendly relationships, faculty members
can help students with the little troubles
that could plague them later — poor
speech patterns, irritating personality
quirks.
“ We’re still willing to be proxy
parents,” he said. “It’s a luxury that a
small school offers."
Highly motivated and highly
competitive, these students know what
they want, Turoczi said. Although there
may be “some shifting once the dust
settles,” students don’t come to college
uncertain whether they want to be marine
biologist or a dentist. Their plans are
much clearer. Some may need direction
— but most are headed where they
belong, he said.
Those who aren’t will be picked up
through the counseling program, Kanner
added. Turoczi says many faculty
members wish those who left after three
years had stayed the fourth. “It’s partly
selfish,” he admitted, “but some could
benefit from the extra work, the extra
polish, the ripening on the vine."
Those who do choose to stay, he said,
"really cherish that fourth year, They’ve
struggled all along and now have the year
to bask.”
“But when they get there and find
they’re still little fish but in a bigger
pond, they also find that fish swim just as
well as sharks."

WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 9
�The Details
^V^Iany college students aspire to
health careers. They w'ant the challenges
of caring for their fellow human beings
without the life and death responsibility.
For that growing number of students,
Wilkes offers a variety of programs in the
health sciences — cooperative and
affiliated programs leading to
professional degrees in optometry,
dentistry, podiatry, pharmacy, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, health
records administration, medical
technology and nursing.
1 ?•.’ >
Health
Sciences
Another
Option
Wilkes has developed the programs,
said Health Science Dean Ralph Rozelle.
“to improve health care delivery in
Northeastern Pennsylvania and to do so
by improving our educational system.”
“The catalyst,” added psychology
Prof. Joseph Kanner. "is our tremendous
strength in the sciences.”
Building on that strength, Wilkes has
developed affiliated programs with
several of the professional schools of
Temple University; the Pennsylvania
College of Optometry and the
Pennsylvania College of Podiatric
Medicine. These programs allow students
to take two or three years of
undergraduate education at Wilkes, move
on to professional school, earn a Wilkes
bachelor's degree after completing basic
science coursework at the professional
school, and in many cases earn a
professional degree in one year less than
normal.
What's the hurry?
Not only does each year of saved
schooling bring a career that much closer,
but it’s a tuition savings in the
10 V/1LKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
Dr. Rozelle reviews Pre-Med Health Sciences options for students and parents.
neighborhood of $10,000. And the
student’s eligibility for financial aid can
be extended into the early years of
professional school.
Moreover, the affiliation between
Wilkes and the professional schools
makes it easier for Wilkes graduates to
find a place in the advanced classroom.
The close contact between Wilkes and the
professional schools means that the
admissions committee already has a good
idea how' well qualified the students will
be — they are, in essence, already a
known quality.
The need for health professionals is
still intense, Rozelle says.
In dentistry for example, even those
states with the most dentists per
population have underserved rural and
inner city areas. Pennsylvania is no
exception, he noted, and Wilkes’
program is designed to meet the needs in
the underserved areas in Pennsylvania
and contigious states.
The federal government predicts the
need for podiatrists will double in the
next decade.
Although some students come to
Wilkes hoping for a career as a physician
and are counselled or themselves decide
to pursue other fields in the Health
Sciences, Rozelle insists that these
programs are not the stepchildren of the
health science curriculum.
Many freshman are coming in
specifically for these related programs
Rozelle said.
“Optometry is very strong,” he said,
with 10 students standing for admission
to professional school next fall.
Podiatry is listed as the seventh most
rapidly growing profession in the
country, he added. A podiatrist with an
active practice in the Wyoming Valley
might easily top $150,000 a year in
income.
Health records administrators —
indispensible to hospitals since the advent
of federal regulations on the Medicare
reimbursements for various illnesses —
can look for $50,000 a year in salary and
consulting.
Strength in the related health
professions springs from the same
sources which support Wilkes
pre-medical programs, Rozelle said.
From the first, Dr. Eugene S. Farley
was committed to the sciences — a
commitment he had to meet when he
invited RCA to locate in NE Pa. From
that moment, when graduate engineering
and science programs were established,
Wilkes had the basis for today’s
programs.
The basic science faculty today
includes six full-time biology professors,
six full-time chemistry professors, and
seven full-time physics professors. All
but one of the full-time basic science
faculty members hold Ph.D. degrees.
That, in itself, helps the way graduate and
professional schools regard applications
from Wilkes students.
For those students who choose the
health sciences, the future, too, looks
bright, Rozelle said.
Although the promise of a respectable
career in a responsible profession with an
excellent salary potential is attractive,
“none of these fields is too full,” he said.
Moreover, with American life
expectancy growing each year, the need
for health professionals is growing. Not
only are there more people, but older
Americans, by and large, need more
services than younger ones, he noted.
Dentistry
Students who qualify may opt to
study two or three years, including
summers, at Wilkes before entering
the Temple University School of
Dentistry. Students in this program
will earn a Doctor of Dental
Surgery degree from Temple and a
Bachelor of Science degree from
Wilkes. The need for dentists is
expected to rise for several reasons:
some portions of the country have
too few dentists; awareness of the
importance of oral health is
increasing, and new methods of
dental care are being developed.
prevent, diagnose and remediate
problems of the visual system —
calling for a comprehensive
background in basic sciences.
Pharmacy
In this five-year program,
qualified students complete the first
two years at Wilkes before
enrolling at the Temple University
School of Pharmacy. At the
conclusion of the five-year
program, students receive a degree
in pharmacy from Temple
University.
Podiatry
Wilkes and the Pennsylvania
College of Podiatric Medicine offer
a seven-year program leading to a
Doctor of Podiatric Medicine
degree with the Bachelor of Science
degree awarded by Wilkes after the
first year of professional school.
The doctor of podiatric medicine,
specializing in the care of the
human foot, shares with the doctors
of allopathic (M.D.) and
osteopathic (D.O.) medicine and
dentistry (D.D.S.) the legal
authority to make independent
professional judgments and to
administer medical and surgical
treatment. Federal figures indicate
a need to double the number of
practicing podiatrists in ten years.
Health Records
Administration
This four-year program includes
two years at Wilkes and two at
Temple University. Health records
administrators, who provide
information to patients for
insurance, health care professionals
for self-evaluation, facility
administrators for evaluation and
planning, the community for public
needs and others involved in
research and education, are in high
demand throughout the nation. This
program is accredited by the
Committee on Allied Health
Education and Accreditation in
collaboration with the American
Medical Records Association.
Optometry
In this program, qualified
students spend three years at Wilkes
before moving on to the
Pennsylvania College of
Optometry. They earn the
professional degree as well as the
Wilkes College Bachelor of Seicnee
degree. In addition to the traditional
performance of refractions and
prescription of vision aids,
optometrists today also work to
Physical TherapyStudents interested in physical
therapy study three years at Wilkes

Combining phy sical therapy with
psychological and sociological
principles to motivate patients, this
profession offers career
opportunities in hospitals,

�Editor’s Note: Dr. Dan Kopen
graduatedfrom Wilkes College in 19 70.
Ten years later he was the inaugural
recipient ofthe Distinguished Young
Alumnus Awardfrom his Alma Mater. He
has been exemplary as an alumnus and
Wilkes College has had occasion again
and again to thank him for his efforts in
behalfofthe institution.
In the 1970's Dr. Kopen twice served as
class agent for the annualfund drive. In
1986, he chaired the Annual Alumni
Phonathon and was an active participant
each and every evening the sessions were
being conducted, often coming in to
either make calls or encourage volunteers
after he completed a long day ofsurgery
and ofmaking late night rounds at the
hospital.
Currently he serves the college on the
Steering Committee ofthe WILKES
TOMORROW Capital Campaign and is a
member ofthe Wilkes Board of Trustees.
Interview with Dan Kopen
Q: How do you think that Wilkes has
changed since your graduation in
1970?
A: There have been several changes.
Some are obvious, such as structural
changes. I think the campus has
never looked better than it does
today. There have been other changes
in addition. The curriculum has been
strengthened and expanded. There
are far more opportunities for
preprofessional training today than
there were two decades ago.
We are in a different phase of
development than we were 20 years
ago. For instance, recovery from the
flood and fiscal survival are two
problems that have been successfully
addressed by previous
administrations, and now we’re at a
phase in our development when those
types of concerns are no longer the
vital issues confronting us. We are
looking toward expanding our
horizons in service to students and to
the community. We can concentrate
more on these aspects, knowing that
the fundamentals are secure.
Q: As a member ofthe Steering
Committee for the WILKES
TOMORROW Campaign, you realize
the success the campaign has had so
far. How do you explain that success
and how do you see it continuing
through the Campaign s conclusion
in 1990?
A: The success, in large part, is a
measure of the confidence that people
12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
and institutions have in Wilkes. It
stems from their belief in the basic
mission of the College, and their
willingness to support what they feel
is a vibrant, expanding institution.
It goes without saying that a large
number of people have put
tremendous effort into the campaign.
Through serving on the Steering
Committee, I see some of those
people on a regular basis. It has been
an educational experience for me to
see so many people dedicated to a
single purpose — that being to
enhance Wilkes' ability to serve its
students and the community.
I think of people such as Gene Roth,
Chairman of the Campaign, Joe
Pinola, Honorary National Chairman
of the Campaign, and Frank Henry,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees
and the countless hours of dedicated
effort they’ve put in. I’m seeing
major industralists, bankers, and
professionals meet on a regular basis
and give their time and effort to the
College through the Campaign. It has
been and eye-opening experience that
has revived my faith in my fellow
man in terms of seeing how people
who are already so successful still
feel that the basic mission of Wilkes
is such a solid one that it is worthy of
their support. I feel that the campaign
will not only reach its goal of $ 18
million, but that we will exceed this
figure by 1990.
Q: What are some ofthe things that have
stimulated you to maintain such close
contact with Wilkes and to support
the College so enthusiastically?
A: My interest in Wilkes has been
vigorous since I first arrived on
campus as a freshman. I was very
fortunate to have had an opportunity
to meet and get to know some of the
key administrators and faculty at
Wilkes. Going back to my days at the
College, I remember Dr. Farley and
the integrity upon which he built this
institution and his life. I remember
meeting men like Dean George
Ralston, Chuck Reif, Ralph Rozelle,
and people who were instrumental in
my education at Wilkes. They
instilled in me a feeling of
commitment and a feeling that
someday I would like to repay the
school for the education it provided.
The bottom line is the personal
friendships that evolved during my
student years and then continued
afterward with people such as past
presidents Michelini and Capin.
Working with President Breiseth and
seeing the tremendous ability, energy
and enthusiasm that he brings to
Wilkes certainly makes you feel
happy and proud to be part of this
organization.
Q: How did Wilkes and some ofthe
people you mentioned before help
you to develop the qualities that have
been valuable to you in your career
and in your life?
A: The qualities Wilkes engenders in the
student population and among its
alumni are ones of personal and
professional integrity, ethical
standards, a willingness to serve your
fellow man, and respect for the role
that responsibility plays in preserving
the traditions of freedom in our
society. These are the types of values
that are fundamental in a Wilkes
education, and that education is most
effective because the instructors and
administrators whom students meet
live lives based on those values.
These aren’t values to which we give
lip service. They are values that
people believe in, and they live their
lives accordingly. That is perhaps,
the most profound lesson that a
student takes from Wilkes College.
Q: In accordance with some of those
values, how do you believe Wilkes is
already supporting the community in
terms ofhealth care and in general?
A: Wilkes is playing a major role in
health care in the Wyoming Valley.
We now know that there are well over
400 Wilkes physician alumni, and a
large percentage of them have settled
in Northeastern Pennsylvania. By the
quantity and quality of these
physicians, Wilkes has had a
tremendous impact on health care in
this area.
Wilkes has always had a history of
turning out students of high quality
and high ideals, some of whom have
gone on to become physicians, and
they’ve carried those ideals through
their professional lives. We see
Wilkes physician alumni in positions
of responsibility throughout the
country. The impact that the College
has had through their careers is
widespread and is important.
More recently, in the late 60’s and
early 70’s, it was the work of people
like Dr. Farley, Dr. Rozelle, and Dr.
Michelini, who recognized that our
area was underserved by physicians,
and that there needed to be a unified
effort to attract young physicians
back to this area. From their initial
efforts, the Wilkes-Hahnemann
Program was developed, and from
that single program 150 physicians
received their medical degree. A
large percentage of these graduates
are in primary care in the
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
The advantages of a program like the
Wilkes-Hahnemann Program, and
the current Wilkes PCOM Program,
are that a student who wants to
achieve a career in the medical field
can save time in terms of his
undergraduate education years, and
the advantage of saving time also
carries the advantage of reduced
cost.
Other benefits for students are that
the program is well designed and
well advised by people from
multi-disciplines within the College
community, as well as from the
medical schools involved; and the
students receive personalized advice
as they advance along that medical
tract.
Over and above the role that is played
by physicians, Wilkes has an
important role in continuing medical
education efforts for physicians, as
well as community-wide educational
efforts. For example, you can see
this in the form of the AIDS
Awareness Committee, of which
Wilkes faculty, alumni, and
administrators have been an integral
part.
Additionally, the Graduate Division
of the College offers the Masters of
Health Service Administration
degree and we offer continuing
education for physicians who are
interested in developing
administrative and business abilities
to compliment their roles as
physicians.
Q: The participation ofalumni in college
activities and contributions has
increased significantly during the
pastfew years. To what do you
attribute that success and do you see
it as a trend that will continue to
grow?
A: Part of this impressive improvement
can be attributed to the maturing of
our alumni as a whole. We now have
nearly 17,000 alumni from Wilkes,
but as you look at the demographics
of the alumni, you will see that it is
still rather young as a whole. Wilkes
is 55-years-old, but if you divide the
alumni body into thirds, the first
third graduated in the first 30 years,
the next third in the following 10-12
years, and the final third in the most
recent 10-12 years. So, two-thirds
have graduated within the last 25
years, which means that we are a
young alumni. I think that time was
required to develop alumni
awareness at a point in their
professional lives when alumni can
afford to be generous. This has been
necessary in the maturing of Wilkes
alumni participation.
Three forces are converging at
Wilkes — the alumni who are in a
better position to serve the school;
the school itself which has matured to
the point where the alumni support
can be used in partnership and
progress to a better future; and the
administration, which is energetic,
capable, and engenders a spirit of
cooperation. I think those three
forces are coming together at one
time, and that’s why we are seeing
such an improvement in overall
alumni participation.
Q: How is Wilkes preparing its students
to tackle the challenge ofmedical
school and a career in medicine?
A: Speaking from personal experience,
the best training that any premedical
student can get is the training they
receive in the basic sciences and
liberal arts that an undergraduate
institution offers. Attending a
medical school where I was in a class
with people from colleges and
universities throughout the country, 1
can say that Wilkes prepared me as
well as any schools prepared any of
their graduates. For the most part,
the first two years of medical school
were probably easier for me than
they were for most of my classmates
because those years of basic sciences
were so well prepared for by the
Wilkes premedical education
In addition to that, the qualities the
Wilkes College education seeks to
instill in a student are the types of
characteristics that serve you well in
a profession such as medicine.
Certainly they stand you in good
stead among your medical school
classmates when you are impacted by
several different forces, some of
which seem to be overwhelming at
times, but none of which are able to
defeat you when you have an
education that is so well founded on
the basics as a Wilkes College
education is.
Q: How helpfal to the students is the
Wilkes faculty/student ratio of 15/1
and the diversity of Wilkesfaculty?
A: The student/faculty ratio at Wilkes is
ideal for students who want to know'
and interact with the faculty. When
premedical students are involved in
research at Wilkes, they work with
the professor rather than a research
assistant. An atmosphere such as this
can be described as a family
atmosphere and facilitates the types
of interchange that enhance an
education, making it an enjoyable,
participatory event rather than an
impersonal one, as it may be on a
larger campus.
When I was a student, I remember
well some of the courses taught by
professors who were able to add a
perspective to their course material
based on their varied backgrounds,
and that enriched the curricular
experience. The ability to involve
oneself in a quality liberal education
exposes one to perspectives from
various cultural backgrounds. That’s
one of the strengths of an
independent, non-denominational
school such as Wilkes.
Wilkes’ main asset is its people. The
character of the people is what shapes
the institution and what really lends
truth to the meaning of higher
education. Wilkes stands for the best
of what a true liberal education is
supposed to mean in our society. It
stands for the best in terms of solid
pre-professional training. When you
take the liberal tradition of an open
society and combine it with the
emphasis on excellence and integrity
that is ingrained in preprofessional
tracts at Wilkes. I think you get the
best that education has to offer.

�Science in Service to the Community
Science in Service to the Community is
epitomized by the Department of Earth
and Environmental Sciences at Wilkes
College. Its facilities, its students and
especially its faculty so closely interact
with the community on public
environmental issues and concerns that
they are among the first consulted for
expertise in crisis situations. They also
provide leadership and mentoring for
numerous agencies and organizations
dealing with ever changing technology in
the field; and they are acutely aware of
health related environmental issues and
information.
The facilities that figure most
prominently in this affiliation with the
community are called centers and are
under the Department of Earth and
Environmental Science and the
Department of Engineering and all are
encompassed within the School of
Engineering and Physical Sciences.
The most significant center in its
relationship with the community and the
region is the Center for Environmental
Quality. Under its broad umbrella it has
the capacity to test water, soil and air. The
Water Quality Lab, under the direction of
Dr. Michael Case, was a most important
player when, in 1986, there was a severe
outbreak of Giardiasis in Northeast
Pennsylvania. The lab was the only local
resource equipped to test water for the
giardia lamblia parasites and other
water-bome pathogens causing the
dangerous and debilitating disease. This
lab was utilized by state and other
health-care agencies in the area to
determine the safety levels for water
consumption within the region. The
faculty worked on a daily basis with
members of the media to inform and
educate the public about the potential
danger for untreated water consumption.
It has since expanded its capacity for
certification for multiplicity in testing
water.
Another of the important outreach
programs that is beneficial for the
community is the Radon Testing
Laboratory. Under the direction of Dr.
Roger Maxwell this lab was widely
publicized as a community resource
available to monitor and test for radon
gas. Recently recognized as a national
health issue rather than one localized to
limited sections of the country, radon gas
became a major media focus. Wilkes
College was able immediately to serve
the community by using the laboratory to
help test, evaluate and monitor radon and
to implement plans of action if that
became necessary.
During a recent crisis initiated by a fire
at a chemical plant, the Center for
Environmental Quality assisted local
authorities’ response to the toxic fumes
produced by the fire. This resulted in the
orderly evacuation of the entire city of
Nanticoke and its environs.

world. Used to measure radon gas and develop methods to combat it. Seated, Dr. Roger Maxwell,

The Center has also supported through
staff and facilities the Susquehanna River
Tri-State Association. This community
organization housed on the Wilkes
College campus is dedicated to public
education and consciousness raising in
caring for and maintenance of the
Susquehanna River as a recreational
facility and a natural resource.
Dr. Brian Redmond, associate dean of
the School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences, is well known as a leader in the
community, the region and the
Commonwealth on environmental
matters. He is a member of Governor
Casey’s cabinet on Environmental
Quality and Control. He serves on several
committees dealing with environmental
problem-solving so critical to the
well-being of Northeastern Pennsylvania
and its citizens including solid waste
management and the numerous landfill
problems confronting the state of
Pennsylvania.
*Dr. Redmond and Dean of the School
of Engineering and Physical Sciences Dr.
Umid Nejib, were recently invited by the
Swiss Government to travel to
Switzerland and to meet with them to
discuss a project that would turn garbage
and trash into environmentally safe
pellets that could be used as building
products. They were also solicited by the
government of Ireland to advise them on
the issue of radon gas in that country.
The Center has made available to the
region all of its resources in terms of
faculty expertise and technical facilities
to benefit the health and well-being of its
citizenry. The educational experience it
provides students will eventually supply
the region and the nation superb leaders
with the ability to create and maintain an
environmentally sound country.

�About Nursing at Wilkes
One of the most publicized issues in
health care today is the national shortage
of nurses. According to national media
health care facilities are in desperate need
of highly qualified nurses capable of
coping with a rapidly changing field.
Wilkes College Department of Nursing
is doing more than its share of helping the
region and a nation solve this dilemma.
The Department serves virtually every
aspect of nursing education from an
extraordinary' undergraduate program, to
a program designed especially to serve
the returning R.N. or diploma and
associate degree candidate, to a Master of
Science Degree with a major in Nursing.
All programs and curricula are
designed with an eye on the future and the
rapidly changing needs of society' for
health care.
At the undergraduate level, students
are introduced to their chosen profession
as beginning , self-directed practitioners,
capable of initiating, implementing, and
revising nursing care. This is
accomplished on campus in the unique
Learning Center, a simulated,
fully-equipped hospital environment
laboratory and then through clinical
experience (still under the direction of the
faculty) in private, government, acute,
rehabilitative general and special
hospitals and agencies in the
Wilkes-Barre area.
The result of this rigorous education is
the Wilkes B.S.N. — a self-directed
practitioner capable of professional
practice in primary', acute and long-term
care settings.
R.N.’s (Diploma and Associate Degree)
are especially welcomed to the program.
Completion of the B.S. can be planned
for either part-time or full-time study
according to the applicant’s desires and
need for concurrent employment. It is
often possible to complete the B.S. in two
calendar years of full-time study.
Advanced credit examinations are offered
to applicants who wish to enter the
program at their level of competency.
A natural outgrowth of the strong
undergraduate program is the Master of
Science with a major in Nursing.
The graduate faculty believe that study
at this level is used to synthesize
knowledge acquired from the humanities,
physical and social sciences and nursing
with a greater capacity for its application.
According to Ann Kolanowski,
chairman of the department, “the focus is
on health in its broadest definition and
includes promotion, prevention, acute
16 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
care and rehabilitation.” The program
goes beyond the norm for nursing
education, she said: “our students are
introduced to the research process and
theory development and management.”
Especially proud of her faculty, most of
whom are engaged in doctoral study.
Kolanowski states “the Wilkes nursing
faculty have extensive experience in
various aspects of our profession. They
are prepared in clinical specialities such
as Family Nursing, Adult Health and
Aging, Community Nursing, Psychiatric
Nursing and Pediatric Nursing. Many
faculty are certified by the American
Nurses Association as clinical
specialists.”
Often referred to as “a college within a
college” the Department of Nursing at
Wilkes continues its long tradition of
providing students the education and
practical experience they need to provide
leadership in this increasingly important
profession of Nursing.
Wilkes Has Record Breaking Freshman Class
Clinical experiencefor Wilkes’ Nursing
students in the self-learning labs.
Nesbitt Memorial Hospital Offers New Scholarships
to Nursing Students
Each year five students at Wilkes
College who are pursuing the
baccalaureate degree in nursing
will each receive $3,000 per year in
scholarship/forgiveable loans from
Nesbitt Memorial Hospital in
Kingston. The program was
initiated by Nesbitt with Wilkes
College as a joint effort to help
alleviate the shortage of nurses that
is evident both locally and
throughout the nation.
John Francis, Administrator at
Nesbitt Hospital, said “We hope to
encourage students to enter the field
by helping them defray the cost of a
college education.”
The scholarship/loan will be paid
back by recipients through an
employment agreement with the
hospital for those graduates who
qualify.
Francis said. “Through this new
program, we hope to provide
needed jobs in our community so
that these graduates won’t find it
necessary to leave home in search
of quality employment.”
Nesbitt Hospital has entered
similar agreements with other
colleges in Nonheastem
Pennsylvania and these affiliations
will result in 15 registered nurse
graduates each year.
While the program will be costly
for the hospital it is considered a
sound investment that will result in
additional professional staffing that
is needed to continue the level of
excellence in family health care that
the public has come to expect from
Nesbitt Hospital and Wilkes
College graduates.
“Nursing is a rewarding,
challenging and fulfilling career.
As our society changes, the entire
medical field will be on the cutting
edge of technology and it will
require the latest skills available.
This will be made possible through
the quality educational programs
available at our colleges and
universities.” Francis concluded.
Wilkes College, this past fall,
welcomed its largest freshman class in a
decade.
Dean of Admissions Bernard Vinovrski
said the 1988-89 class will number 702
including freshman and transfer students.
This represents a dramatic 120% increase
over the 1987 freshman enrollment.
Vinovrki said, “There is an across-theboard increase in enrollment at Wilkes,
with all three schools — Arts and
Sciences, Engineering and Physical
Sciences, and Business and Economics —
showing substantial increases in student
enrollment. There is special interest and
activity in Pre-med, Engineering,
Pre-law, Accounting and Education.”
President Christopher N. Breiseth
expressed special pride in the quality of
the student who is responding to Wilkes.
“This year’s class includes 10
valedictorians from various school
districts. Among the Trustees’ Scholars
there are 3 valedictorians.” He added,
“The academic restructuring that was
initiated 3 years ago and the commitment
of a dedicated faculty to provide students
the best possible education is showing
results in this year's freshman class.”
Not only the quantity but the academic
quality of students choosing Wilkes is on
the rise. What are the reasons that
prompted students from across the
country to choose to attend this college in
Northeastern Pennsylvania? The general
consensus seems to be that word about
Bernard Vinovrski
the “evolving” Wilkes College is out and
spreading. There is a new vibrancy at
Wilkes based on many things including
faculty reputation and credentials, a
curriculum and programs that provide a
solid educational base for students that
allows them multiple choice in
professional and career options. And,
Wilkes is located in an area with optimal
benefits that appeal to both students and
their parents ... a “brand new city”
environmentally sound and beautiful and
having one of the the lowest crime rates
in the country.
According to Dean Vinovrski Wilkes is
reaching stride: “We have an
extraordinary faculty and a diversity of
curriculum that gives students just exactly
what they need for today’s market. We
knew that all along and now the public is
beginning to take notice.”
The increase in enrollment necessitated
new space allocations to accommodate
residence hall students, and three
separate freshman orientations were held
prior to the opening of the school year to
introduce the new class to each other and
to the campus.
In addition to the students recruited in
Wilkes’ own environ, there are registered
students from fourteen other states
including Alabama, California,
Connecticut, Florida, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Virginia, Vermont, Tennessee, and
Washington D.C. There are also students
enrolled from six foreign countries.
Vinovrski cited the “outstanding
participation by alumni throughout the
nation” for this success.
Wilkes Joins C.A.S.E. in Public Issues Campaign
Is tuition too high at American colleges
and universities? Will it continue to rise
beyond the reach of all but the wealthiest?
And what about the quality of the
education students are receiving? Are
colleges and universities preparing
students for life, living and a competitive
job market?
A confused and often angry public is
asking questions that higher education
administrators feel must be answered and
answered quickly. The drumbeat of this
criticism emanated primarily from
William Bennett during his tenure as U.S.
Secretary of Education. Mr. Bennett’s
often unsubstantiated but sweeping
derogatory statements about American
higher education, about students and
student life styles, were eagerly picked up
Ity media as headline stories and used in
national press.
Add to that the several task forces
initiated to examine American education
— In Search of Excellence, A Nation at
Risk, to mention just two that received
national coverage — and we begin to
understand how public perception about
higher education began to erode. Parents,
legislators, community leaders and media
no longer take for granted that our
colleges and universities operate only for
the public good.
What can the educational community
do to change this public perception? The
Council for the Advancement and
Support of Education (C.A.S.E.) has
issued a "Special Advisory for College
and University Presidents" that has a
dynamic plan of action on public issues.
Dr. Robert Heaman, Executive
Assistant to the President, is chairing the
committee that is now implementing a
plan of action tailored especially for
Wilkes College.
For example, in December a series of
luncheons will be held for newspeople
and the centerpiece for discussion will
address the role media should play in how
to change or balance public perception.
The Wilkes plan also involves giving
maximum exposure to those faculty and
administrators as spokespeople for
getting the real story in front of the public
via television/radio talk shows, speeches,
op-ed and editorial pieces and literature.
This pan of the plan should be
operational in spring.
President Breiseth, Dr. Heaman, and
the General Officers of the College share
C.A.S.E.’s goals to better communicate
with the public on these issues.

�Dr. Judith Eaton Speaks at
Convocation/Commencement
On September 1, Wilkes once again
opened the academic year with
convocation/commencement ceremonies.
The annual event welcomed members
of the class of 1992, the largest in a
decade, and bid farewell to 50 summer
graduate students who received
baccalaureate and masters’ degrees.
Dr. Judith Eaton, president of
Community College of Philadelphia, was
principal speaker. Dr. Eaton’s address
stressed the importance of education as it
applies to the quality of life.
Dr. Eaton has been president of
Community College of Philadelphia since
1983. Prior to her appointment at CCP,
she held the administrative posts of
President, Clark County Community
College in Nevada (1979-83), Academic
Vice President, Johnson County
Community College in Kansas (1976-79),
and Dean of Administrative Services at
Oakland Community College in
Michigan (1975-76). Dr. Eaton has a
baccalaureate degree in philosophy and a
master’s degree in history from the
University of Michigan. She earned a
Ph.D. in education from Wayne State
University (Michigan) and has taught
Wilkes Names SCC in Honor of
Arnaud C. Marts
history of science, history, and
philosophy at Wayne State University and
Oakland Community College. She holds
honorary degrees from Hahnemann
University and Drexel University in
Philadelphia.
Committed to strengthening the
collegiate dimension of community
college education, Dr. Eaton has devoted
extensive time to national leadership roles
in higher education including the Boards
of Directors of the American Association
of Community and Junior Colleges
(AACJC), the American Council on
Education (ACE), the Community
College Humanities Association, and the
League for the Humanities. She chaired
the AACJC Board in 1984-85 and
presently serves as Chair of the American
Council on Education Board of Directors.
Dr. Eaton is also chair and founder of the
League for the Humanities, a national
consortium dedicated to the enhancement
of humanities education in community
colleges. At the state level, she chaired
the Pennsylvania Commission for
Community Colleges in 1986-87 and
served as chair of the Pennsylvania
Association of Colleges and Universities
in 1987-88.
Dr. Eaton has produced articles for a
variety of educational publications
including Educational Record, the
Community and Junior College Journal
and Liberal Education and is editor of
Women in Community Colleges (1981).
She is author and editor of Colleges of
Choice: The Enabling Impact ofthe
Community College (1988).
Concerned that a clear message of
educational partnership, commitment to
academic achievement, and a pragmatic
approach to educational quality be
conveyed to those whom an urban
community college serve, Dr. Eaton also
devotes significant amounts of time to
working within Philadelphia leaders to
stress the value of community college
education for the future of the city. This
involves her participation on such boards
as the Greater Philadelphia First
Corporation, the Greater Philadelphia
Chamber of Commerce, the Economics
Roundtable, the Private Industry
Council, and the Urban Affairs
Partnership.
the Mondale campaign of 1984. We have
been concerned with the rights, rather
than the responsibilities, of groups of all
kinds.
We have paid much less attention to
shared interests ... the common good,
the general purpose of society. Shared
interest was with us in the 1960’s and the
1980’s but lacked importance.
Again, whether you are entering this
institution or leaving as a graduate, this
issue, shared interest, is the much-needed
agenda of the 1990’s.
Shared interest refers to our
commitment to the fabric of our society.
It refers to the willingness to look at
individual and group rights in relation to
the general purposes of our society. It
refers to thoughtful, valued visions of our
society. It refers to good judgment about
what is valuable for all.
I want a civil society, a concerned
society, a caring society. So do you. I
want a society of hope. So do you. How?
I offer several suggestions for your
consideration. Value social justice; we
are only as safe as those about us. Value
personal freedom, but only in relation to
the freedom of others. Value dignity,
realizing that one’s personal dignity only
exists if there is dignity for others.
I ask you to leave here thinking about
those three interests, self, special,
shared, and the society we might have.
Consider the quality of existence, the
quality of life available to us.
We no longer have the luxury of using
education only to fit in or to become part
of our world. We must do more. It is
essential that we use education and its
benefits to sustain a society of substance
and to sustain that quality of life. This is
the urgent demand before us.
Dr. Eaton’s Commencement Address Follows:
The Importance of Education for the Demands of our Society
by: Dr. Judith Eaton
President Breiseth has asked me to
address education and demands — the
importance of education for the demands
of our society. This brought two thoughts
to mind, two issues: education and work,
education and the quality of life.
Whether you are a freshman at Wilkes
today or a graduate, you have a certain
faith in education for work and, in
general, it is a faith well-substantiated. It
is a fact that high school graduates earn
more than high school dropouts. It is a
fact that college graduates earn more than
both.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported on
August 30, that twenty-five percent, or
one in four, of all United States workers
are college graduates. This compares
with one in five in 1978. Fifteen percent
of all workers lack a high school diploma
— versus twenty-four percent in 1978.
Education is of increasing value for
work.
The about-to-be former Secretary of
Education Bennett has constantly
18 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
reminded us of the greater earning power
associated with collegiate education. One
is forced to wonder why, then, Secretary
Bennett has so consistently fought making
higher education available to more and
more Americans.
At the 1988 Democratic National
Convention, Senator Ted Kennedy spoke
of three societies in America: a society
doing reasonably well, a society barely
hanging on, and a society “trapped in
hopelessness, anger, violence.” What do
we do? There have been at least three
approaches to dealing with the question
of “what do we do?” in the past
twenty-five or thirty years in this country.
As I describe them, they are a self
interest approach, a special interest
approach, a shared interest approach.
We reinvented self-interest in the
1960’s. In that decade, this referred to
our preoccupation with ourselves, the
personal, the private.
We have been especially concerned
with special interest in the 1980's. Recall
I?

At the John Wilkes Club Dinner in
September, President Breiseth announced
that the Wilkes Board of Trustees
approved the decision to name the
College’s newly constructed Sports &
Conference Center in honor of Dr.
Arnaud C. Marts (1888-1970), the man
recognized as most instrumental in
founding of Wilkes College. The center
will be dedicated on Feb. 17 at 11 a.m.
Marts, president and founder of Marts
& Lundy, the nation’s first and foremost
professional fund-raising firm, had
several successful careers during his
lifetime. He was a business executive,
financier, author, military leader and
government advisor. In 1935 Marts added
higher education administration to this
distinguished list of professional
achievement, when he agreed to serve as
acting President of Bucknell University.
It was in that capacity that his long
affiliation with Bucknell University
Junior College (later to become Wilkes
College) began, and it was in that
capacity that he decided to keep the
Junior College open in the midst of the
great depression.
If he decided to keep it open, he would
add to his already overwhelming
responsibilities that included serving as
president of his new firm and as executive
officer at the two colleges. It would have
been easier for Dr. Marts to allow the
satellite campus to close since it had
fulfilled its original purpose of
assimilating the high school students of
the depression years into the mainstream
of higher education. But Amaud Marts
was conscious of the young men and
women who were eager for a college
close to home and so it survived. In 1947
Bucknell Junior College became Wilkes
College and was chartered as a four year
liberal arts institution.
It was Dr. Marts who discovered
Eugene Farley and persuaded him to take
on the leadership of the struggling
college. Marts secured the lovely homes
that formed the original Bucknell
University Junior College Campus: Kirby
Hall, Chase Hall, and Conyngham Hall.
He served on the Wilkes Board of
Trustees as Vice Chairman for more than
three decades. The college awarded
Marts an Honorary Doctor of Humane
Letters posthumously at the 1988 Spring
Commencement.
President Breiseth observed that
“Wilkes has recognized significant
leaders in its history by dedicating and
naming important buildings in their
honor. We have the Stark Learning
Center named for Admiral Harold R.
Stark, the Eugene Shedden Farley
Library named for our college's founding
president, and the Dorothy Dickson
Darte Center for the Performing Arts
named for one of our major benefactors.
It is altogether fitting that we name this
major new building for our true founding
father, Arnaud Cartwright Marts.”
The son of a minister. Dr. Marts was
bom in upstate New York educated at
Oberlin College where he graduated Phi
Beta Kappa.
He is survived by his widow Anne
McCartney Marts, who has remained a
close friend and ardent supporter of
Wilkes College. She is donating the
Nicholas Cortiglia portrait of Dr. Marts
that now hangs in the livingroom of her
New York residence. The portrait will be
prominently displayed in the new Marts
Center.

Forbes, chairman and editor-in-chief of
Forbes Magazine, Inc., in October when
he visited the area to dedicate Fortinsky
Hal], new home of the Wilkes School of
Business and Economics.
President Breiseth welcomed the
internationally acclaimed economist and
publisher. Breiseth said “Mr. Forbes
brings special feeling to a very important
day at Wilkes College.
“I can think of no one better able to
represent all that is ethical in the world of
business, nor is there a better role model
for today’s students of business than
Malcolm Forbes. Both Wilkes College
and Wilkes-Barre are more than pleased
to welcome him to our campus and to our
town.”
Forbes first entered the newspaper
business only two days after graduating
20 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
from college. He became owner and
publisher of the Fairfield Times, a weekly
in Lancaster, Ohio. The following year,
in 1942, he founded the Lancaster
Tribune, also a weekly publication.
His publishing career was interrupted
in 1942 when he went into the United
States Army where he served during
World War II as a staff sergeant. Forbes
saw action in France, Belgium and
Germany and was awarded the Bronze
Star and the Purple Heart.
Immediately after his militap' service,
Forbes decided to join the business
publication founded by his father and
became vice president of Forbes Inc.
In 1954, Malcolm Forbes was elected
editor and publisher of Forbes Magazine
and is now the chief executive officer of
the following companies: Forbes
Investors Advisory Institute Inc., Forbes
Trinchera Inc., Sangre de Cristo Ranches
Vice Presidential Candidate Lloyd
Bentsen visited Wilkes in October and
met with hundreds of local senior

Fortinsky Hall is named in honor of
Shirley and Robert Fortinsky, whose
generous gift to Wilkes made the
purchase of this building possible.
Breiseth said, "We extend our gratitude
to the Fortinskys. The buildings on our
campus are the best graphic example of
how friends from the community
supported Wilkes during its formative
years. The names on these buildings
throughout our campus are familiar
within the community, names such as
Darte, Stark, Sordoni, Weiss,
McClintock, Evans, Weckesser, Kirby,
Conyngham, Roth, and so many others,
who gave not only financially, but gave of
themselves. We are pleased to add the
names of Robert and Shirley Fortinsky to
that list of friends.”
The Wilkes School of Business and
Economics offers a variety of programs
leading to a B.S, in Accounting and
Business Administration, and a B.A. in
Economics. Minors in all three areas also
are available. The various courses
offered through the School of Business
and Economics at Wilkes prepare
students for management positions in
business, industry, the nonprofit sector,
and government, as well as professional
licensings and graduate education.
Interdisciplinary ventures, such as the
Computer Information Systems and
Engineering Management programs,
provide opportunities for students to

RCRC Receives One Million Dollar Grant
A one million dollar grant, approved
unanimously by the state, has assured
Wilkes that it will be able to continue to
provide computer education courses to
elementary and secondary teachers in
Northeastern Pennsylvania.
State legislators in both the House and
Senate unanimously approved a four-year
grant for the Wilkes College Regional
Computer Resource Center (RCRC). The
funding is a continuation of a similar one
million dollar grant received four years
ago. Since that time, Wilkes RCRC has
served thousands of teachers from
hundreds of schools in Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
A press conference, which included a
tour of the facilities at the RCRC was
held to announce the grant, and it was
attended by several legislators who
approved the funding.
The RCRC at Wilkes is the only center
of its kind in Northeastern Pennsylvania
and one of only 14 in the state. Each year
it offers a variety of classes, workshops,
and seminars designed especially for
educators. Last year more than 1,500

WILKES-BARRE — Members of
Wilkes students and administrators met
recently to discuss plans for
implementing Campus Compact, an
action-oriented effort by 17 Pennsylvania
Colleges to foster greater commitment to
public service among college students.
“It’s an effort to educate
undergraduates to become responsible in
the community. We already have
numerous outreach programs that benefit
the community, but this is a program
especially designed to raise awareness
among young people about the value of
community service and reduce the
disincentives for service work,” said Paul
Adams, Associate Dean of Student
Affairs at Wilkes.
According to Adams, Wilkes students
have participated in nearly 60 community
service projects over the past two years.
Among these were charitable
fund-raising efforts; internships with
social service organizations; tutoring at
the YW/YMCA; and recycling projects.
He cited the service organizations that
already exist at Wilkes, including Circle
K, Arnold Air Society, Human Services,
Wilkes College Fellowship Program, and
Wilkes Hunger Education and Action
Task Force (WHEAT).

School of Engineering and Physical Sciences Addressing National Radon Problem
With the construction of one of the
largest radon chambers in the country, the
Wilkes College School of Engineering
and Physical Sciences will now be better
able to address the concerns of the
national radon problem. Interest in radon
increased since a recent federal
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
study was released warning that radon
gas was much more pervasive than
previously believed. Federal officials
issued a national health advisory saying
that millions of homes have elevated
radon levels.
The chamber was recently constructed
and equipped in the basement of the Stark
Learning Center under the supervision of
Dr. Roger Maxwell, Associate Professor
of Physics, and it attracted national
attention as the Associated Press (AP)
disseminated news of the chamber
throughout the country.
According to Maxwell, the chamber
will allow for calibrating equipment,
measuring detection methods; testing of
methods to reduce radon; and testing of
materials used to control radon.
Jack Madden, Scientific Officer at the
Nuclear Energy Board, Republic of
Ireland, recently visited Wilkes to
examine the chamber. He said, “It is very
interesting to see a modular finished
version like the one here at Wilkes. It is
one of the largest chambers in the world,
comparable to the chamber in the United
Kingdom at the National Radiological
Protection Board. Ireland is only now
taking an interest in the radon problem,
24 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
and it is my responsibility to construct a
radon lab, so I am here to compare notes
and exchange information.”
Madden met Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of
the School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences, and Dr. Brian Redmond,
Associate Dean of the School of
Engineering and Physical Sciences, while
they were in Ireland in August as part of
the Irish-American Partnership, which is
designed to involve Americans in the
economic development of Ireland and the
sharing of technical, economic, and
academic ideas between the two
countries.
The addition of the radon chamber is
the latest in a series of advancements the
School of Engineering and Physical
Sciences has taken toward addressing
radon. Earlier this fall, representatives
from Wilkes faculty, the EPA, and TEQ,
a radon testing company in Wilkes-Barre,
held an information seminar at Wilkes to
help educate the public.
In addition to the work Wilkes faculty
is doing with radon, Dr. Redmond is
helping to correct landfill problems. He is
currently working with a firm exploring
an innovative Swiss technique that
transforms common garbage into
construction materials. When successful
in adapting the project to the area, the
result will be new plants, new jobs, more
money in the area, and Jess need for
incinerators and landfills.
Redmond and Nejib were in
Switzerland earlier this year to examine
first-hand the Swiss method that turns
trash into a product that can be used as
filler for cement blocks. Redmond said
the purpose of the trip was to answer any
questions that may arise when the
implementations of the new plants begin
here, which will mark the first of their
kind in this country.
"This project could make an enormous
difference to the area and eventually to
the environment in the region, said
Redmond. “The problem with other
solutions is that they are only partial
answers. For example, in the case of
incineration, you have the problem of
what to do with the ash. With this new
project, everything is usable and there is
no combustion.”
Redmond explained that the process
collects ordinary garbage, then shreds it,
dries it, removes the metals from it (so
they can be recycled), and bonds it with a
plastic-like substance. The result
produces pellets that are used as fillers in
cement blocks. “Instead of mixing
cement with crushed stone, you’d use the
garbage,” said Redmond.
The Catrel Corporation of
Pennsylvania, a division of the Catrel
Corporation of Switzerland, contacted
Wilkes more than two years ago and
indicated an interest in jointly exploring
the possibilities of a new type of waste
disposal system. The project was
received with enthusiasm by Wilkes and
by the Ben Franklin Partnership, a statesponsored group that funds cooperative
education/busincss projects such as this.
WILKES-BARRE — Dr. Christopher
N. Breiseth, has announced that Thomas
Hadzor has been named Vice President
for Development at Wilkes. Hadzor,
former Executive Director of
Development at the college, will retain
his previous fund-raising responsibilities,
including the capital campaign, annual
giving, planned giving, and foundations
and grants. In addition, he will now
oversee alumni relations.
For nearly three years, Hadzor has
been instrumental in helping Wilkes reach
the initial high level of giving to the
WILKES TOMORROW Campaign from
major benefactors in the local area. Now,
he and his staff are focusing upon the
alumni nationally. WILKES
TOMORROW is a five-year effort to
raise $18 million by 1990.
Hadzor joined the Wilkes
administration in 1986, as Director of
WILKES TOMORROW, and was
responsible for the campaign, gift
research, fund-raising programs and
regional alumni campaigns. In August of
1987, he was named Executive Director
of Development, and in addition to his
previous responsibilities, he supervised
the offices of Annual Giving,
Foundations and Grants Management,
and Planned Giving.
Prior to coming to Wilkes, he served as
Director of Development at Scranton
Preparatory School from 1981-1986.
From 1979 until 1981 he served as
Director of Development and
Coordinator of Special Programs at the
Mercersburg Academy.
A graduate of Mercersburg Academy,
Hadzor holds a bachelor’s degree from
Muhlenberg College and a master’s
degree from Michigan State University.
He resides in Dallas with his wife, Debra,
and four children.

The 1988 Wilkes College 41st Annual

300 alumni returning to their Alma Mater

alumni vs. varsity team contests, a
five-mile run, homecoming campus
tours, alumni recruitment workshop,
crew team rowing exhibition, judging of
various displays built by students, a

Dear Fellow Alumni,
Having spent the last two days on the road in
Connecticut recruiting students at Ridgefield High
School and visiting with alumni in Norwalk, I thought it
would be a good idea to take the advice of one of our
graduates, George Pawlush ’69 and communicate with
alumni about the many positive things taking place at
your Alma Mater and share with you the excitement
permeating the Wilkes College campus.
You are one of 16,715 individuals who makes Wilkes
College what it is today. Our reputation and our
promising future is the direct result of the success you
are achieving as alumni of Wilkes in science, medicine,
business, education, the arts, just to name a few.
First of all, let me bring you up to date on what role
the Wilkes College Alumni Association plays here on
campus and around the country. Also, I would extend an
invitation to any one of you to react to our program,
good or bad, and to become an active member of the
Association. I will include phone numbers and an
address for your follow-up at the end of this
correspondence.
My office is here to serve as the link between Wilkes
College and its alumni as well as our alumni and Wilkes
College. How do we do that? We maintain records of
alumni, so we can communicate on a regular basis. The
Alumni Office provides opportunities for our alumni to
gather socially, on campus or in cities throughout the
country. We encourage alumni to support our College’s
efforts to give current students an opportunity for
employment. This can be accomplished by having your
company conduct interviews on campus or by you
participating in a career consultants program; which puts
alumni willing to talk about professional careers in touch
with students interested in specific fields. Another
program that is increasingly important and popular
among our alumni is the Admissions support program.
This is a program where our Alumni attend College
Fairs as representatives of Wilkes College. Also, alumni
have been recommending Wilkes College to young
adults who are considering their post secondary
educational opportunities. Last, but in no way least. our
1. The Bums Alumni Tower and Carillon was
completed on Center Campus earlier this year
(the quadrangle formed by Chase, Kirby.
Church Hall, the Farley Library) and is
dedicated to Dr. Charles N. Bums ’35, M.D. —
member of the first graduating class of Bucknell
University Junior College.
2. The Mans Sports and Conference Center (on
the site of the old gymnasium) is rapidly
nearing completion. Ground was broken for
this project during the first week of March,
1988.
3. This past May, we held our first Reunion
Weekend celebrating quinquennial class
reunions (five-year intervals) for those classes
ending in 3 and 8. This program was very
successful and I expect the start of a great
tradition for both Wilkes and her alumni. Plans
are currently underway for the second Reunion
Weekend which will be held June 2, 3, and 4.
1989. Dean Emeritus George Ralston is
coordinating this effort and will be contacting
members of those classes ending in 4 and 9
(1939, 1944, 1949, and soon) so if your class is
one of those, mark your calendar now and plan
to join us.
4. Homecoming for 1989 is scheduled for the
Weekend ofOctober 20,21.22, 1989.
Please let us know what you are doing so we can share
that information with your classmates through our class
notes section. If you would like to be involved in any one
of our programs I described earlier, please drop me a
line:

The Board also heard a report from the WILKES
TOMORROW Capital Campaign indicating that we have
gone over the $6 million mark towards the $8 million
capital objective (including the Sports and Conference
Center and endowment for faculty salaries and student
scholarships). We have surpassed $15 million toward the
overall $18 million goal (including the $10 million
objective for operating support). To handle the total cost
of the new Sports and Conference Center, the Campaign
must raise an additional $3 million over the next year
and a half.
In reviewing the official audit for Fiscal 1987-88, the
Board expressed its pleasure at the financial condition of
the College.
The Board unanimously approved a resolution to name
the Sports and Conference Center in honor of the late
Dr. Arnaud C. Marts, the Bucknell president, who,
more than any other individual, fostered the early
growth and development of Bucknell University Junior
College and its successor, Wilkes College. The Marts
Center should be open for use by the beginning of the
spring semester in January 1989. We are planning to
dedicate the Center at 11 a.m. on Friday, February 17,
1989, and will be delighted to see as many of you as
possible at that time.
Dedication of Fortinsky Hall
We dedicated another new building when we gathered
at the Darte Center on Wednesday, October 12, at 2:15
p.m. In response to the generous benefaction of Robert
and Shirley Fortinsky, who were part of the ceremony,
the Board named our new building, located on South
Franklin Street, Fortinsky Hall. To help us celebrate this
new home for the School of Business and Economics,
Malcolm S. Forbes, Sr., Editor-in-Chief of Forbes
Magazine, spoke to a standing-room-only audience on
the relationship between the national and world
economies. The title of his address was “How Now and
What Next?” He also received an Honorary Doctorate
of Humane Letters from Wilkes. Those of you who
graduated with degrees in Business or related fields are
particularly welcome to visit Dean Theodore Engel and
his colleagues in the new home of the School of Business
and Economics.
Association of General and Liberal Studies
Conference
Wilkes College hosted the annual national conference
of the Association of General and Liberal Studies from
Thursday, October 13, to Saturday, October 15. The
presentations by faculty colleagues from throughout the
nation addressed the theme of “Liberal Learning in a
Post-Industrial Culture.” The Committee at Wilkes who
organized this ambitious undertaking included Patricia
and Robert Heaman, Robert Maxwell, Michael O’Neill,
Sharon Telban, Lee Terry, Bing Wong, Florence Lauth.
and Jane Manganella. Bob Heaman deserves special
thanks for bringing this prestigious event to Wilkes.
Highlights included speeches by Dr. John Karakash,
Dean Emeritus of Lehigh University’s College of
trustee; Dr. Joan S. Stark, Director of the National
Center for Research to Improve Post-Secondary
Teaching and Learning University of Michigan; and Dr.
Sandra E. Elman, co-author of a book that has been
especially significant for Wilkes. New Priorities for the
University: Meeting Society’s Needs for Applied
Knowledge and Competent Individuals.
The Core Curriculum
The AGLS sessions provided a national context for the
critical decisions we have been making as a faculty in
reference to a revised set of core course requirements.
The proposal, a culmination of a sustained four-year
effort to conceptualize a coherent program of general
education for all Wilkes students which complements
their major fields of study and prepares them for lifelong
learning, was presented to the faculty for a vote. The
revised core curriculum proposal was overwhelmingly
approved. This action is one of the most significant steps
we have taken to prepare for the 1990’s.
Institutional Assessment
We are in the process of gathering data to make formal
application to receive university status from the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We hope a favorable
decision will be forthcoming in 1989.
The self-study for the ten-year review for Middle
States accreditation is progressing under the leadership
of Dr. Carl Chametski. Almost everyone on campus will
be involved in this task in one way or another, and I view
this as an excellent opportunity to stimulate the college’s
long range planning effort.
With regard to institutional structure, our task over the
next few years will be to consolidate and perfect the
recent innovations in terms of academic units. At some
point in the future, we may take up the question of
additional schools, but it would not be timely to do so in
the midst of both the self-study and university
application process.
I hope to be visiting with many of you as the regional
capital campaign progresses. Tom Hadzor, our new Vice
President for Development. Beverly Hiscox. the
national chairperson of the alumni Regional Campaigns,
and others on the staff, the Board, and among the
alumni, have already visited several cities. The
responses in Berkeley, Los Angeles, San Diego.
Allentown, Pittsburgh. Harrisburg. Boston. Farmington
and Norwalk. Connecticut give us great cause for
optimism that the alumni of this wonderful college will
support it with significant capital pledges and
contributions over the next year. The time has arrived
for the alumni to join the many local residents in
Northeastern Pennsylvania in providing the major
financial support upon which the future quality and
character of Wilkes depends.
Sincerely,
Christopher N. Breiseth

WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY 3
�Alumni Honored for Achievement
Teaching is Dr. Berard s
commitment, her life’s goal. When yo
talk to her about it there is an enthusiasm
that is contagious." This comment came
from a student, Mary Jo Zukoski, class of
1988, and there are hundreds more who
would give like statements in evaluating
the impact that Louise Berard's teaching
has had on their lives.
At commencement. Dr. Berard's
commitment to her students and her
profession was rewarded when she
became the recipient for the 1988
Carpenter Outstanding Teacher Award.
This award is presented each year to a
member of the faculty who is nominated
by his/her colleagues and selected by a
peer committee in recognition of
exceptional teaching ability. Dr. Berard
received strong support from every'
segment of the academic community.
Dr. Richard Sours. Chairman of the
Mathematics and Computer Science
Department, said, “Teaching is Dr.
Berard’s real area of strength. Her
dedication, hard work, and attention to
detail are immediately evident. She has
refused to compromise academic
standards in her courses. Instead, she
continually "goes the extra mile’ to find
ways to help students overcome
obstacles. It is especially tempting these
days to water down our mathematics
courses by de-emphasizing theory and
proofs. Dr. Berard believes that students
need to grasp the theory and learn to do
proofs. Doing this requires time with
students outside of class and demands
very detailed preparation for lectures.
She expects a lot from her students, but
she gives them a lot of help in meeting
those expectations.”
Dr. Berard is a Conyngham native and
resides in Hazleton. She joined the
Wilkes faculty in September, 1980. She

Wilkes-Barre, in 1975 and then received
a fellowship at Brown University
Providence, R.I, After receiving’research
teachmg assistantships, she earned
the Ph.D. from Brown in 1980.
The positive influence Dr. Berard has
had on students perhaps is best
Dr. Breiseth.
“This fall I will begin a Ph.D. program in
mathematics and I hope to teach. I had
never really considered teaching as an
option because I felt the rewards were
just not enough. But, if I can ‘turn on
students to mathematics, help them
discover the beauty of this subject, ma
them feel about learning — and about
themselves — the way Dr. Berard has
made me feel, then I think that would
ihc greatest reward.”
Jesse H. Choper, ’57, dean of the
School of Law at the University of
California at Berkley, and Gregory
Franklin Hollis, ’74, senior research
specialist, Monsanto Company, St.
Louis, MO., were honored as
distinguished alumni by Wilkes at
commencement.
Dr. Choper received the Eugene S.
Farley Memorial Award and Dr. Hollis
the Distinguished Young Alumnus
Award.
After graduating from Wilkes summa
cum laude in 1957 Dr. Choper, a native of
Wilkes-Barre, entered the University of
Pennsylvania to pursue the LL.B degree
and to teach in the prestigious Wharton
School. He graduated magna cum laude
from U. of P. in 1960 anil was then
among a select few law clerks chosen to
serve with the late Chief Justice Earl
Warren until 1961. Upon completion of
that, he joined the faculty as an associate
professor at the University of Minnesota
Law School. There he taught
Constitutional Law and Corporation Law
until 1965. He then accepted a
professorship at U. of C. Law School at
Berkley where he was appointed Dean of
the School in 1982.
The recipient of numerous awards. Dr.
Choper is recognized as a leading author
and lecturer in his field.
He is the past recipient of an honorary
Doctor of Humane Letters from Wilkes,
conferred in 1967 by Dr. Farley. Dr.
Choper is an elected member of the
American Academy of Arts and Sciences
and the American Law Institute.
Dr. Hollis, a native of Union City.
N J.. graduated from Wilkes summa cum
laude in Biology in 1974 and earned his
Ph.D. in Biochemistry from John
Hopkins University in 19SI. He did
post-doctoral research at both the
National Institutes of Public Health and at
Harvard University.
Dr. Hollis, whose special research
interest is in Molecular Genetics and
Immunology, has been published
extensively and is the author of over forty
articles and papers relative to his areas of
research in both fields.
Between 1974 and until his
appointment at Monsanto last year. Dr.
Hollis has had experience and has done
research at prestigious institutions
including the National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development.
N.I.H.. Bethesda. MD.. and The
National Cancer Institute, where he
served as Senior Staff Scientist. He now
holds a joint appointment and is a
member of the faculty at Washington
University.
Dr. Hollis is a member of the Editorial
Board for “Molecularand Cellular
Biology.”

�1st Annual Alumni Weekend
.. A Huge Success
Editors Note:
There is no way to convey the spirit of
fun, collegiality, and warm feelings that
were part of the 1ST ANNUAL
WILKES COLLEGE ALUMNI
REUNION held on May 27,28 and 29,
just a week after Commencement. We
hope the collage of photos on these pages
will tell you how wonderful and
successfill it was.
On Friday with registration in a
brightly colored tent on the student center
lawn, the weekend of events got off to a
great start. There were barbeques, tours,
picnics, cocktail parties, and dinner.
There were also information sharing
sessions about programs, curriculum, and
people.
The following text is taken from the
welcome by President Breiseth to Alumni
from the classes of’38, '43. ’48, ’53,
’57, ’58, ’63, ’68, ’73, ’78 and ’83.
This first alumni weekend comes at an
important stage in the development of
Wilkes College. Last week we had a
wonderful Commencement ceremony,
held outside between rainstorms. While it
was the 41st Commencement of Wilkes
College, it was the 55th anniversary of
the founding of the institution which
began as Bucknell University Junior
College. The previous week, at the Board
of Trustees meeting, we reported a most
successful year of recruitment of new
students, which has required us to
scramble for space both in terms of
available beds for students and academic
space for programs that continue to grow
in response to regional needs and
enrollment demand.
The trustees unanimously endorsed the
application to the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania to change the name from
Wilkes College to Wilkes University.
While this process is only just beginning
and we must not presume how the state
will respond to our application, the
consensus of each of the significant
constituencies — alumni, faculty,
students, and trustees in their unanimous
vote — indicate an awareness of the
increased ambition and
6 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
comprehensiveness of Wilkes and its
programs.
While there has been a heightening of
activity — and I would like to think a
focusing of activity — in my first four
years at the College, the developments
you are hearing about reflect progress
built on foundations that go back a very
long way at Wilkes. We have been a
strong liberal arts institution since the
beginning of Bucknell University Junior
College. We began our expansion to the
graduate level in science in the late 1950’s
in response to the needs of this region for
economic development. The partnership
between RCA and Wilkes College goes
back to that period and represents ±e
kind of commitment to this region that
Wilkes has made throughout its history.
Indeed, in reflecting on Dr. Mans’
accomplishment as the President of
Bucknell in finding and hiring Dr.
Eugene Farley to be the Director of
BUJC, I had occasion to reflect upon how
fundamental the commitment to this
community and this region was in the
very founding of Bucknell University
Junior College.
The expansion of our degree programs
in business, in health care, in
engineering, in the teaching of teachers
— both those preparing to teach and those
already in the classroom working on their
own professional development —
represent commitments that are of long
standing. The discussion over university
status comes as a response to the richness
and comprehensiveness of our curricular
offerings.
The keynote for this emerging new era
at Wilkes is to preserve the intimate
contact between faculty and students of a
small liberal arts college with the
comprehensiveness of a university
serving its region. This has been the
balance at Wilkes almost since it began. It
matches the balance between the liberal
arts and the professional and
pre-professional curricula which has
become a particular hallmark of Wilkes in
the last decade.
At last week’s Commencement we also
acknowledged the distinguished
contributions to their professions of two
of our alumni. The Eugene S. Farley
Distinguished Alumnus Award was given
to Dean Jesse Choper, Dean of the Law
School at the University of California at
Berkeley. In his remarks, Dean Choper
acknowledged the importance of knowing
our alumni and their accomplishments
throughout the nation, indeed the world.
He also emphasized the importance of
recognizing the contributions of Wilkes
alumni who have stayed here and helped
to rebuild this economy and culture.
While no one would press the claim
that Wilkes is the only institute of
significance in this turnaround, if we took
away the Wilkes alumni who serve this
region in so many different ways, one
could argue that you would not be
witnessing the renaissance now underway
in the Wyoming Valley and Northeastern
Pennsylvania.
The young alumnus of the year was Dr.
Gregory Hollis, ’74, a distinguished
biologist doing research into the immune
system at the Monsanto Corporation in
St. Louis, MO.
Dr. Hollis described his first academic
experiences after leaving Wilkes College.
They mirrored so perfectly the responses
I have had from alumni all over this
country that I want to share them with
you. Greg recalled his first exam in
biochemistry at Johns Hopkins
University. The problem set in the exam
covered material the course had not
introduced but required an application of
the methodology developed in the course.
When comparing notes with the other
students, individuals from prestigious
colleges and universities, he found that
they felt unprepared for the exam which
he had found to be a snap. At that
moment he realized that the lack of
confidence he had in going from a modest
institution like Wilkes College to a great
research university like Johns Hopkins
evaporated and he recognized that he had
experienced a first-rate education at his
alma mater.
If I were to define the broader job
which is mine to do as the fourth
president of this grand institution, it
would be to articulate the virtues that this
college has demonstrated to help assure

On Students
Wilkes Students Honored
At Commencement
The diversity of Wilkes College
students was exemplified at the College's
1988 Commencement when the six major
student awards were presented. Among
those receiving the awards for excellence
were an international student, a mother, a
trustee scholar, a ROTC member, and a
leader in Wilkes Student Life.
These six major awards are presented
each year at Commencement to members
of the graduating class who have
distinguished themselves through
academic achievement and exceptional
contributions to student life. These
awards are:
The Mabie Scott Wandell and
Sterling Leroy Wandell Awards —
presented to the man and woman graduate
attaining the highest academic average
for four years at Wilkes College.
The Humanities Award — established
in 1958 by Annette Evans, a member of
the Board of Trustees, and awarded to the
man or woman in the graduating class
who has demonstrated outstanding
scholarship in the humanities.
The Social Sciences Aw ard — the
Hugo Malley Memorial Award, given
annually to that graduate in the social
sciences who has best demonstrated
overall abilities in scholarship,
intellectual curiosity, and community
service during his or her career at Wilkes
College.
The Natural Sciences and
Mathematics Award — given annually
to the graduate who has attained the
highest academic accomplishment in the
pursuit of knowledge across the breadth
of the division.
Alumni Award for Leadership —
presented by the Wilkes College Alumni
Association to the member of the
graduating class considered by a special
committee to have made the strongest
8 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
contribution to student life and the
student activities program of the college.
Nada Vujica Memorial Award —
established in 1972 in memory of Nada
Vujica, and given annually to a deserving
international student.
This year, the six awards were won by
five students, who through their diverse
contributions and achievements,
exemplify the ideals of a Wilkes College
education.
The major award winners for 1988 are:
Arijit Mittra, Elizabeth A. Mazzullo,
Joan B. Meehan, Darcy J. Broody, and
Susan B. Imboden.
Arijit Mittra, an electrical engineering
major from Calcutta, India, is one of two
Wilkes students to be presented with two
(2) awards, receiving both the Wandell
and the Nada Vujica honors. Winner of
the Carpenter Scholarship (full tuition)
for the past three years at Wilkes, Mittra
graduated magna cum laude. While at
Wilkes, Mittra was President of the
International Organization of Wilkes
College, and an active member in the
Engineering Club.
He recently completed an internship in
engineering at Owens-Illinois in Pittston,
and hopes to continue his education by
pursuing a masters degree before
beginning a career of research work on
Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI)

“Wilkes has helped me make my
dreams come true; they helped me
achieve what I could not do otherwi:ise.
Wilkes was a fine choice; I knew
instinctively it was a good place for me,”
said Mittra.
Elizabeth Mazzullo, recipient of the
Wandell and Humanities Awards, is the
second of the two students who graduated
from Wilkes in May of '88 with a major
award in both hands. A summa cum laude
graduate, Mazzullo was an English major
with a minor in history, and she wrote for
several of the College’s student
publications.
For "The Beacon” (the College’s
student newspaper), she has filled the
roles of photo, news, and copy editors,
and a staff writer, and columnist. She has
also been a staff member of the
“Amnicola” (the College yearbook), and
the "Manuscript” (the student literary
magazine), as well as the Phi Alpha Theta
(History Honor Society).
Mazzullo now plans to attend the
University of Michigan in the fall on a
Regents Fellowship, through which she
will pursue a Ph.D. in English Literature.
"Wilkes has helped me in two ways.
I’ve been able to get to know some of my
professors well and work with them
closely on papers and projects in my
field. At the same time, I’ve had
opportunities at Wilkes to develop
personal interests through extracurricular
activities like photography,” she said.
Mazzullo is a past recipient of the
Davies Award in English (a Trustee
Scholarship), and a member of "Who’s
Who Among American High School
Students." At her high school in
Williamsport, she was Editor-in-Chief of
the student newspaper, a National Merit
Finalist, and recipient of several awards
for articles she wrote for the student
newspaper.
She is the daughter of Ben and Karen
Mazzullo, Williamsport.
Susan Imboden received the Alumni
Award for Leadership for the great
amount of support she gave to Student
Government and student life. A Nursing
major from Easton, she has been a vice
president and representative of both
Student Government and the
Interresidence Hall Council, as well as
vice president of Human Services and a
member of the Student Life Committee.
Among her honors are: the Nursing
Student Organization (NSO) Leadership
Award, “Who’s Who Among American
Colleges and Universities,” and Sigma
Theta Tau (the Zeta Psi chapter of the
International Nursing Honor Society).
Winner of several scholarships and
awards at Easton Area High School,
Imboden now plans to return to that area
and work as a graduate nurse at the
Allentown Hospital.
"Wilkes has allowed me the
opportunity to become an active member
of the Wilkes Community and by doing so
has helped me to achieve leadership
qualities I could not have learned
elsewhere. The personal closeness I have
felt here will always be an integral pan of
me wherever I go,” she said.
Joan Meehan, an accounting major
from Shavertown, was the recipient of the
Hugo Mailey Award. Meehan recently
completed an internship with one of the
largest accounting firms in the nation,
Arthur Andersen Co., NY, NY. She
began her pursuit of an accounting degree
at Luzerne County Community College,
where she earned an Associate in Service
Business Administration with a grade
point average of 3.97, and a Certificate of
Specialization in Accounting with a 3.94
G.P.A.
Since enrolling at Wilkes in 1986, she
has not missed being on the Dean’s List,

degrees at Commencement.
Helen Farr Sloan, artist, writer,
educator and philanthropist, was honored
and a posthumous degree was conferred
on Dr. Amaud Marts, one of the founders
and sustainers of Bucknell University
Junior College.
Mrs. Sloan is the widow of John Sloan,
who was an influential American realist
painter, co-founder of “The Eight," and
promoter of an independent forum for
artists at the tum of the century.
She established the John Sloan
Memorial Foundation through which she
has funded a plethora of events, from
exhibitions, books, catalogs, and
advanced research, concerning American
art of the early twentieth century. Mrs.
Sloan has been responsible for the
production of major monographs and
retrospective exhibitions on such stellar
figures in American art history as
William Glackens, Robert Henri, John
Sloan, and numerous secondary artists
whose work she has documented. Her
concern for historical accuracy has set
straight many misconceptions of the era.
At the Sordoni Art Gallery, Wilkes
College, she has assisted with The Eight.

George Luks.
In the Spring of 1987 Mrs. Sloan,
acknowledging the need for a center of
studies in American art history, opened
the Sloan Archives at the Delaware Art
Museum which is quickly becoming a
significant center for primary research in
19th and 20± century American art. She
has acquired the personal papers of many
artists, collectors and critics by
recognizing their importance and
consolidating them in one important
accessible research center.
The young scholars who were
recipients of her financial support and
encouragement are now influential
museum directors, curators, collectors,
and educators. Their cumulative impact
on the academic world alone warrants the
presentation of an honorary doctorate for
Mrs. Sloan. More importantly, her role in
shaping the success of Wilkes’ Sordoni
Art Gallery makes this distinction both
appropriate and significant.
Dr. Arnaud C. Marts was a
past-president of Bucknell University
who brought that institution out of the
Depression and helped turn it into one of
the country’s leading smaller universities.
With George Lundy, he founded and
developed Marts & Lundy, Inc., one of
the nation’s foremost professional
fund-raising firms, raising well over $2
billion for thousands of colleges, schools,
hospitals, churches and other institutions.
Through his dynamic leadership, he led
in the founding of Wilkes College, the
American Association of Fund-Raising
Counsel, and a score of other agencies
that now play vital roles in the nation’s
educational and philanthropic life. Called
upon by his government, he created
Pennsylvania’s Civilian Defense Program
during World War II, and organized and
directed the 100,000-man Temporary
Reservists Program for the U.S. Coast
Guard Reserve, serving with the rank of
Captain.
Dr. Marts was a central participant in
many of the events that shaped the
nation’s destiny. But it was in his dual
roles as a college president and as a
founder of the modern profession of fund
raising that he made his most far-reaching
contributions. He perceived the need for
sound financial development and
planning for America’s vast system of
independent schools and colleges,
hospitals, social service organizations,
and other volunteer agencies upon whom
millions of Americans rely for their
well-being and development.
adequate enrollments of future students,
both at the undergraduate and graduate
levels, and to secure the support of
alumni for an institution, which they
rediscover with pride, has been a
significant source of their success as
adults, as professionals, perhaps even as
citizensand parents.
To release this pride and the
commitment to support Wilkes is a joyous
task, but is not a straightforward one.
The humility of people in this Valley
about themselves and about this area
following its own traumatic history has
inhibited the kind of open and confident
expression of pride that one sees more
routinely elsewhere. On the other hand,
there is a fierce devotion and loyalty to
family, and to region even by people who
have been gone from here for two or
three decades.
My job along with my faculty and
administrative colleagues, with the
Alumni Association and our Board of
Trustees, is to mobilize this devotion, to
release the pride, to explain in effective
and honest terms what is going on at
Wilkes.
We need to justify that full measure of
support upon which any college depends
from its alumni. We must secure alumni
contributions to the recruitment of
students around the country, support for
our graduates in terms of career
opportunities, and the financial support
upon which the capital investment in a
continually improving Wilkes must
ultimately depend.
This weekend of reunion marks the
beginning of our national alumni
campaign in support of the WILKES
TOMORROW capital campaign. The
campaign is chaired by Eugene Roth,
Class of ’57, and our honorary national
chair is Joseph Pinola, Class of ’49. Our
capital objective is $8 million in an
overall campaign of $18 million. We have
already raised nearly $5.3 million toward
the $8 million. The major project within
that $8 million is the Sports and
Conference Center. We are currently
seeking the next $3 million to complete
that project in order to pay off early the
bonds we issued to do the bridge
financing for construction.
For planning purposes, we see a
million dollars coming from a single gift
which we continue to pursue, another
million coming from the solicitation of
major projects which we have been
working on for the last two years, and a
million dollars coming from the alumni
nationally. That one million secured from
our alumni nationally may seem modest.
The nature of the task, however, requires
recognition that through our history only
33 % of our alumni have ever given even
a single gift to the College and there has
been no systematic national capital
campaign prior to this time. Thus we can
only go up in this effort to build the
support of our alumni for Wilkes.
As that support begins to grow and as
the alumni come back into closer touch
with what’s happening at Wilkes and
become a part of it, we will see a subtle
shift in the balance between the support
from the local community — much of this
is from non-alumni who are supporting
an institution crucial to this region — and
the support from the alumni body which
expresses the importance of their alma
mater, a type of support in the greatest
tradition of American higher education.
Symptomatic of this shift in the
balancing of support from its several
constituencies, the Wilkes Board of
Trustees is increasing the membership of
alumni on the Board. We have just added
Dr. Dan Kopen of the Class of 1970 and
Dr. Catherine DeAngelis Harris, Class of
1965. They are taking as their particular
challenge the securing of support for
Wilkes from nearly 500 physicians who
went to Wilkes and who now represent
successful practices all over the country.
Bruce Gover, ’72, ’77, has joined the
Board as representative of the Alumni
Association in a seat on the Board which
has been filled by presidents of the
Alumni Association since Joe Savitz
performed that duty 30 years ago. The
present Board includes 14 alumni out of a
membership of 32. Thus the leadership
role for the alumni has been growing at
the Board level. It needs now to grow in
other ways, through alumni chapters and
other support activities across the land.
Your presence here as a sign of your
affection for Wilkes, of your appreciation
for fellow students with whom you shared
this experience, of your gratitude for
faculty who helped broaden your
horizons and challenge you to become an
educated man or woman all help the
effort by which we, together, secure
Wilkes for tomorrow.
Dedication of Burns Tower
& Carillon
Funds from the Class of 1970 and
donations from alumni and friends made
possible the construction of the Charles
N. Bums Alumni Tower and Carillon,
which was dedicated at the First Annual
Alumni Weekend. The tower was named
in recognition of Charles N. Bums,
M.D.. who was a member of the class of
1935 and was among the first of Wilkes’
graduates to be accepted into medical
school.
A plaque unveiling was included in the
dedication, and in addition to honoring
Bums also recognized John J. Chwalek,
whose outstanding leadership in the
fund-raising for the tower helped make it
a reality.

�Wilkes — The Last 55
Years & The Next Era
of Progress
Commencement Address by George W. Waldner
Vice President for Academic Affairs
Mr. President. Honored Guests,
Alumni. Members of the Class of 1988,
Colleagues and Friends.
I was pleased to accept the assignment
given to me by President Breiseth and the
Executive Committee of the Board of
Trustees to comment on the history of the
college, as we prepare to celebrate the
55th anniversary- of Wilkes' founding. I
was asked to direct my remarks to the
graduating class and also to the Wilkes
community, so that we may all have a
better understanding of the development
of this institution and where it fits in the
broader picture of American Higher
Education. My purpose is that those of
you who are soon to become Wilkes
Alumni will know something more about
your Alma Mater. My remarks will also
serve as background information for the
next portion of the commencement
program in which we shall honor five
individuals, including three of our
alumni, who have rendered valuable
sen-ice to Wilkes and have reflected
credit on the college through the conduct
of distinguished careers in Education,
Science, and Cultural Affairs.
But now to my assignment, which is to
characterize Wilkes College in terms of
the structure and history of American
Higher Education.
I would hasten to assure the members
of the Class of 1988 that this is the last
12 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
lecture you will have to endure before
receiving your diploma and it will be a
relatively brief one — brief for a college
professor, that is.
I should begin, perhaps by sketching
for you four different models or types of
colleges that constitute the richly diverse
world of higher education in the United
States.
The first model is that of the English
college, particularly the kind of college
which developed at Oxford and
Cambridge in the 18th and 19th
centuries. The distinctive features of such
colleges are:
1. An emphasis on the basic
academic skills:
Reading and analyzing
complex texts,
Writing with precision and
style,
Speaking persuasively.
2. A curriculum stressing a
broad cultural education in
the Liberal Arts and
Sciences, as the best
preparation for positions of
leadership and responsibility.
3. Close, interactive
relationships between
students and faculty, in the
classroom and in
extra-curricular life.
At its best, this type of college
produces graduates who display, in their
skills and habits of mind, the ideal of a
liberally educated person. That is, a
person who is prepared to excel in a free
society and to uphold its fundamental
values.
John Henry Newman, a great
educational philosopher, summarized
liberal education in this way in an essay
he wrote in 1851. Given the year, he did
not use gender-neutral prose, so please
forgive him ... or her for that lapse of
prescience and mentally supply the
feminine equivalent, as I read the quote.
What is liberal education?
■‘It is the education which gives a man
a clear conscious view of his own
opinions and judgments, a truth in
developing them, an eloquence in
expressing them, and a force in urging
them . . .
It teaches him ... to go right to the
point, to detect what is sophistry and to
discard what is irrelevant.
It prepares him to fill any post with
credit, to master any subject with
facility.
It shows him how to accommodate
himself to others, how to influence
them, and how to come to an
understanding with them.
It is a blessing, a gift, a treasure, first
to its owner and then through him to the
world.”
This is the great tradition of Western
higher education, which is the heart and
soul of the English collegiate model and
which has tended to define the ultimate
intellectual horizons of many American
Institutions of Higher Education.
The second great model or ideal type of
institution is the German Research
University, which developed in the 19th
century on the European continent in a
number of countries.
The Johns Hopkins University was one
of the first institutions in the United
States to emulate the research university
model.
This model emphasizes:
Basic research to discover
new knowledge, particularly
in the natural sciences.
Professional education,
particularly in medicine.
Research-focused graduate
studies leading to the Ph.D.
Degree.
The third influential model for
institutions of higher education, unlike
the preceding two, is of American origin.
This concept, embodied the Morrill
Act passed by Congress in 1862, created
a uniquely American institution, the
Land-Grant University.
The large state universities of the
midwest are notable examples of this type
of institution; so is Cornell University
here in the Middle Atlantic region. The
essential characteristics of the land-grant
model are:
1. An emphasis on applied
research, which is then made
available to the society
through extension services
and other outreach programs.
2. The systematic study and
development of technical
fields, such as Agriculture
and Engineering.
3. A vision of the university as
an integral component of the
process of regional economic
development.
Here the ideal is not the
college as separate from
society, a serene place where
either character and
intellectual skills (as in the
English model) or basic
research knowledge (as in the
German model) are quietly
cultivated. Rather, the
Land-Grant University is
fully enmeshed with society,
not different or better than it.
In the land-grant concept the
University becomes a
democratic institution and
brings into touch with the
lives of people in their
day-to-day occupations and
even their leisure activities.
The fourth model takes the concept of
democratization one step further and
closer to the people. If the land-grant
university views its focus as the state and
technical support of agriculture and
industry, the community or junior college
focuses on the country or city in which it
is located, defining its clientele as local
individuals seeking to better themselves
through training beyond high school.
Moreover, the community- or junior
college is an institution which allows
families to economize on college costs,
since the student typically lives at home
and, often, works on a part-time or
full-time basis. The characteristic
emphases of the community or junior
college are:
1. Access to educational
opportunities for all
purposes, especially those
whose economic
circumstances do not permit
them to attend college far
from home or on a full-time
basis.
2. Community development
through professional and
vocational training
WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
13
�3. Talent identification, in that
the most able junior college
students are encouraged to
transfer to a four-year
institution to complete a
bachelor’s degree and
perhaps go on to graduate and
professional study.
The vision of the junior college is
service to those who have been forgotten
by the higher education establishment.
The focus is on helping members of the
community to better themselves and
identifying persons of great promise but
humble circumstances to go on for further
study.
These, then, are four models of
different kinds of colleges and
universities.
How can we best characterize Wilkes
in terms of these models? Which one does
Wilkes resemble most closely?
I would argue that a review of the
events and developments in the 55-year
history of this institution and Wilkes’
current realities and goals require us to
say that Wilkes represents a dynamic
combination of all four models. The
combination is dynamic in that, even
today, Wilkes reflects important aspects
of each of the four models, aspects which
at times may have appeared to be in
conflict or in contradiction to each other,
but which are turning out to be mutually
consistent and reinforcing. Indeed, the
richness of Wilkes’ history and eclectic
combination of educational traditions
represented in it are great sources of
energy for the future progress of the
institution. Let’s take a minute to look at
Wilkes in terms of the four models and in
the sequence of Wilkes' institutional
history.
Wilkes was founded in 1933 as ajunior
college. In the early 1930’s, Dr. Frank G.
Davis, chair of Bucknell’s Education
Department conducted a study of
Pennsylvania’s educational needs. One of
his findings was that many of the 1200
high school graduates in Luzerne County
each year lacked the funds to go away to
college and had no local institution to
serve their needs. Thus, Bucknell
University Junior College was begun, on
Dr. Davis’ recommendation, to help the
youth of this area, who did not have
effective access to opportunities for
post-secondary' training of any kind.
BUJC was to provide convenient Access
for any who wished to attend college.
It was not long, however, until
Bucknell University Junior College began
to lose one of the essential characteristics
of a community college — open door
access — and to begin to exhibit purposes
such as leadership development, rigorous
education in the arts and sciences, and a
14 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
full program of extracurricular activities.
As we know these are the defining
elements of the English Liberal Arts
model.
The key person in this transition was
Dr. Eugene S. Farley, who became
BUJC’s Director in 1936 and, in
consultation with Dr. Arnaud Marts,
President of Bucknell University, decided
that in the area of admissions:
“We would exclude those who showed
little possibility of benefiting from
strenuous intellectual exercise and
large doses of academic work.”
This decision, made in 1936,
foreshadowed the appearance of Wilkes
College in 1947, as an independent,
four-year institution, emphasizing a
broad education in the arts and sciences
and a full program of campus activities.
However, change and development
continued to transform Wilkes and lead it
in new directions. In the later half of the
1960’s when graduate programs in
physics, engineering and other fields
were developed to attract and support the
area’s industrial development, Wilkes
began to take on some of the functions of
a land-grant institution. The crucial
decision, again, was made by Dr. Farley,
when he promised the leaders of the
Radio Corporation of America that
Wilkes would extend its curriculum in
engineering to the graduate level, if RCA
would locate its planned new facility in
the Wilkes-Barre area.
To a lesser extent Wilkes also has some
of the characteristics of the German
Research University, but less in terms of
its programs and policies than in the
quality and credentials of its faculty, the
overwhelming majority of whom possess
the Ph.D. or equivalent terminal degree
in their fields and who completed their
graduate training at some of the nation’s
leading research universities. The faculty,
as a group, reflect the commitment to
truth, scholarship, and inquiry that is at
the heart of the ethos of the research
university.
Wilkes today, and in the next decade, is
poised to develop further as a composite
of all four of the models, combining
many of the most worthwhile and
attractive features of the four models we
have discussed.
In its support services for student
learning and emphasis on careful
academic advising, the tradition of its
founding as a junior college lives on. In
the core curriculum’s breadth and rigor as
well as in the full program of extra
curriculum activities the essential
characteristics of the British Liberal Arts
College survive. And with an increasing
capability to offer graduate programs in
business, education, engineering,
nursing, and health care as well as
improved mechanisms for the conduct of
extension activities to business, industry
and education Wilkes makes an important
and increasingly significant contribution
to the economic and cultural renaissance
of this region, which is happening before
our eyes.
Wilkes’ primary purpose is to produce
graduates who have developed the
essential skills of educated persons, who
are well trained in their chosen fields and
disciplines, and who are prepared for the
next stage in their lives, whether that is a
career position or graduate study. We
expect our graduates to distinguish
themselves in a variety of fields, here and
in other parts of the country and the
world.
Our secondary and complementary
purpose is to offer programs and
extension services which will facilitate
the further progress of this region. Our
deepest heritage is service to the
Wilkes-Barre area and the Wyoming
Valley. It is a heritage we shall not forget.
You, the members of the class of 1988,
are about to become members of an even
more special and distinguished group —
the Alumni of Wilkes College. We of the
faculty and staff wish you great success
and happiness. You can be sure that your
professors will follow your careers with
great interest, and your successes will
bring great joy. If you settle here, we
shall hope to see you frequently. If your
career and life take you far from here, we
shall expect that you will keep in touch,
but, wherever you go, you should know
and feel deeply that Wilkes is your Alma
Mater and that you will always be
welcome here among friends.
In closing I’ll be bold enough to give
you some advice, not my own, but the
thoughts of Dr. Farley:
Make your life meaningful by doing
every day something which helps the
community or uplifts another in need of
your concern, for it is in extending
yourself to others that you will find the
person you are and discover that you
admire the person you have found.
Good luck and thank you.
George W. Waldner
Editors Note:
On March 7, Dr. Ernest L. Boyer,
President of the Carnegie Foundation for
the Advancement of Teaching, spoke at
Wilkes College, a guest of the Wyoming
Valley Council of Presidents. Dr. Boyer,
a former U.S. Commissioner of
Education and an eminent scholar and
author, is recognized as the foremost
authority on education in the nation. We
are pleased to share with you on the
following pages, Dr. Boyer’s lecture
entitled “A Celebration of Teaching.”
I am delighted to be here. This has been
a remarkably satisfying day for my wife
Kay and me. We have felt the vitality of
this valley, the generosity of your
relationships, and your dedication to the
cause of excellence in education. It is that
goal — and the centrality of teaching in
its pursuit — that has brought us here this
evening. In the end, we will achieve
excellence in the nation’s colleges and
schools only to the extent that we give
dignity and status to those who meet with
children every day.
For more than 300 years. America has
had a love affair with education. Our first
college began when the little colony on
Massachusetts Bay was only six years
old. In 1647, the colony passed a law
requiring every town and village of fifty
or more souls — that is, white, male
landowners — to hire, at public expense,
a schoolmaster to teach all children to
read and write. One hundred and thirty
years before the American Revolution,
this nation decreed that education was too
important to be left to chance.
George Washington said that
knowledge is the “surest basis of public
happiness.” John Jay declared that
knowledge is the "soul of the republic.”
Thomas Jefferson drew up a plan for
universal education. In 1787, the
Congress of the United States passed a
law to set aside land in the Northwest
Territory for the benefit of education.
And during the dark days of the Civil
War, President Abraham Lincoln signed
the Morrill Act, which planted colleges
from Maine to California. We love
education; we have from the first. It has
been inextricably intertwined with the
vision of a democratic people.
But there is a darker side to all of this.
While Americans have had a love affair
with education, we have been
enormously ambivalent about teachers.
Dan Lortie of the University of
Chicago captured our ambivalence when
he wrote in his remarkably interesting
book. Schoolteacher: A Sociological
Study, that teaching in America is at once
honored and disdained. It is praised, he
Celebration
of
Teaching
by Ernest L. Boyer, Ph.D.
said, -‘as dedicated service” and
lampooned as “easy work.” “Real regard
shown for those who taught has never
matched professed regard,” Lortie wrote.
Several years ago, when we were
preparing our report on the American
high school, I read a fascinating story
about a late-nineteenth century Nebraska
school that colorfully captured the
ambivalence of our attitude toward
teachers. The writer said the first teacher
who worked at the little one-room school
on the western prairie was “run out of
town by a boy who used stones as
weapons of assualt.” The second teacher,
he said, met with the same agony. When
the third teacher had soundly thrashed
one boy and the father of another, the
reign of terror ended. Parents sometimes
need to be disciplined, too. Still, many
students at that Nebraska school
considered the teacher public enemy
number one.
Today, we don’t stone our teachers or
run them out of town, but we do expect
them to work miracles day in and day out.
Teachers arc expected to do what our
homes, communities, and churches have
not been able to accomplish. They are
called on not only to teach the basics, but
to monitor the playground, police for
drugs, reduce teen-age pregnancy, teach
students how to drive, and eliminate
graffiti. If teachers fall short anywhere
along the line, we condemn them for not
meeting our idealized expectations. The
harsh truth is that teaching in this nation
is still imperiled.
In just fifteen years, from 1969 to
1984, the number of parents who said
they would like one of their children to go
into teaching dropped from 75 percent to
48 percent. In 1981, more than one-third
of the nation’s public school teachers said
they would not become a teacher if they
had to do it over again; that’s up from
one-fifth in the mid-1970s.
The good news is that in the five years
since a “Nation at Risk,” the priority
assigned education in this country has
gone up. For the past two years, the
number of college students who said they
would like to become a teacher has
notched upward. I consider that cause for
great celebration. Indeed, that is why we
are here tonight.
Still, during our research for High
School, it became clear that the basic
problem of teaching in America is not
salaries or merit pay, but the working
conditions of teachers. Too many
students, too much paperwork, and too
many mindless interruptions. And we
concluded that the P.A. system is a
symbol of all that is wrong with public
education. During one school visit, the
public address system interrupted one
class three times without warning — once
to let a student know that his lunch money
had been delivered to the office!
Throughout, the teacher was expected to
maintain a state of dignity' before
beginning again with a sense of
equanimity.
I am troubled that while we want better
education, we aren’t celebrating the
essentialness of teaching or assigning the
profession the status and dignity it
deserves.
Several years ago, when I was U.S.
Commissioner of Education, I called
together twenty high school students from
around the country. We spent the day
talking about schools. Near the end of
that revealing conversation, I asked the
students to give a grade to their teachers.
I asked. "When you average the grades
out for your teachers from kingergarten
to grade eleven, what do you get?" When
all was said and done, we ended up with a
solid “B.” Pretty good. I thought, given
the inclination of students to be somewhat
critical.
I then asked another question: “How
many of you have had a teacher who has
changed you life?" Every' hand went up.
Finally, 1 asked, “How many of you have
WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
15
�ever thanked a teacher?” Not one hand
was raised. Teachers are expected to
work day after day to enlighten and
inspire their students, yet they don’t get
one word of thanks. I told the students,
"That’s asking too much from any human
being.” I asked them to promise me one
thing: “Before you graduate, take a
teacher to lunch.” They agreed they
would.
There are poor teachers, to be sure, and
the teaching profession must do a better
job of regulating itself. We cannot defend
incompetence in the classroom. Indeed, I
think a poor teacher is more dangerous
than a poor surgeon, because a surgeon
can cut up only one person at a time. But
the larger point I want to make is this: No
profession can be made healthy by
focusing only on what is bad. Since the
early 1980s, the preoccupation of the
reform movement has been to clear out
the bad instead of affirm the good, and
that is enough to make any profession
psychotic. If you get out of bed in the
morning, stare at yourself in the mirror,
and say, “I’m going to the dogs,” I
guarantee you will be a basket case within
a week. The only way to get out of bed
and do what needs to be done is to believe
in yourself. So it is with a profession.
I visit The New York Times occasionally
to talk to the education and editorial
writers. Not too long ago, I noticed a
bulletin board in the lobby. On it were
pictures of reporters and copies of stories
being recognized by the publisher of the
paper. Each time I go to the paper, the
pictures have been changed. Not once
have I seen the bulletin board say, “Dud
of the Week.”
You don’t improve an institution by
focusing only on what’s wrong. The only
way to move a profession forward is to
affirm the good, establish standards of
excellence, and remind the practitioners
that there is a higher level to which they
can aspire. If we want better teachers, we
must not be preoccupied with the failures.
Instead, we should affirm the successes
that are occurring every day in
classrooms from coast to coast. Frankly,
I’m convinced that most school critics
could not survive one week in the
classrooms they so eloquently condemn.
We hear a lot of talk these days about
education in Japan. I do not believe that
we should import the Japanese system of
education. The Japanese do have two
conditions worth considering, however.
First, there is a close connection between
the family and the school; indeed, parents
are assumed to be extensions of the
school.
Our grandchildren have gone to school
in Japan, and when our daughter took our
16 WILKES COLLEGE QUARTERLY
little granddaughter to school on the first
day, she thought she would walk in and
drop her off. Not at all. She discovered
that the first day of school in Japan is a
day of celebration. My daughter and her
daughter were there all day. The Japanese
mothers were dressed in their finest.
They sat in the back of the room while the
children participated in a ceremony up
front. A big banner proclaimed
“Welcome To School” and “You Will All
Succeed.” The parents and the children
were engaged in a common cause with
the teachers. The parents also would get
notes each Friday from the teachers,
reminding them of the work they had to
do to continue their parenting as a
teacher.
A second characteristic we might want
to import is the status the Japanese give to
the teacher. To be a “sensei” in Japan is
to be a person of great honor. The teacher
is regarded highly by students and
parents. A teacher is seen as someone
who provides continuity to the culture.
Several years ago, I couldn’t sleep.
Instead of counting sheep, I tried to count
all the teachers I had ever had. I
remembered about fifteen rather vividly. I
must confess there were a few nightmares
in the bunch, but, on balance, I was
rather pleased. Since I was still awake, I
tried to recall the teachers who had truly
changed my life. I thought of three.
First, I thought of my first-grade
teacher, Miss Rice. I remember walking
with my mother on my first day of school
in southwest Ohio and asking her whether
I would learn to read that day. “No,” she
said, “you won’t leant to read today. But
you will before the year is out.”
Well, mother didn’t know Miss Rice. I
walked into the room, and there she stood
— half human, half divine. I sat there
awestruck with twenty-eight other
frightened, reverential children, and Miss
Rice looked at us and said, “Good
morning, class. Today we learn to read.”
Those were the first words I ever heard in
school. And not one student said, “No,
not today; Jet’s string beads.” If Miss
Rice says you learn to read, you learn to
read. We spent all day on four words —
“I go to school.”
I ran home after school, ten feet tall,
and I announced proudly to my mother,
“I learned to read.” I showed her a piece
of paper that said, “I go to school.” I
probably had memorized more than I had
decoded. Miss Rice had taught me
something absolutely fundamental — that
language is the centerpiece of learning,
and we must become empowered in the
use of symbols.
I thought of Mr. Wittingler, a high
school history teacher. One day he passed
my desk and asked me to stop by after
class. I had sweaty palms. What awaits
me now? I was not what you would call a
model student. Later, Mr. Wittingler told
me, “Ernest, you’re doing very well in
history. You keep this up, and you just
might be a student.”
That may sound like an academic
putdown, but it was the highest accolade I
had ever received. “You just might be a
student,” Mr. Wittingler had said. Not a
cowboy, or a fireman, or a sandlot
softball player. As a result, I started to
redefine who I was and what I might
become — all because a teacher, acting
more on faith than evidence, gave me a
new vision to which I could aspire. Great
teachers live forever.
I thought of Dr. Joseph Smith, a
literature professor who loved to read
Shakespeare aloud in class. Dr. Smith
relished every line; he brought each word
to life, and he reread passages with joy,
even though he had read King Lear and
Macbeth a thousand times before. He
taught me something about the power of
the spoken word, as we take from print
something that holds powerful, spiritual,
and aesthetic meaning for us all.
I then asked myself what made these
teachers truly great. Why did these three
people stand out from all the rest? What
are the characteristics of excellence in
teaching? As I reflected on these
teachers, three conditions came to mind:
• First, great teachers are
knowledgeable and informed. That
is, they have a message to convey;
there is something there to teach. So,
while we’re thrashing about, let’s
agree that teaching involves
something to be conveyed. We need
substance.
• Second, great teachers can
communicate at a level students
understand. That is, they can take
their knowledge and connect it with
the reality of their students’ lives.
They not only know their subject,
they know children.
During research for High School, I
visited a junior high school in New
Haven, Connecticut and walked into a
sixth-grade classroom, unannounced. At
first, I was appalled because thirty
students had crammed up against the
teacher’s desk. I really thought the
teacher was suffering some kind of
physical abuse.
Then I observed that something truly
remarkable was happening. The students
were crowding the desk, not in anger, but
in enthusiastic engagement with the
teacher. They were reading Charles
Dickens’ Oliver Twist together and
discussing whether Oliver Twist could
survive in New Haven. This teacher had
brought the urban jungle of London to
New Haven, and little Oliver was their
hero. They knew the good and the bad
guys, and they weren’t sure that Oliver
could make it in New Haven. Here was a
brilliant teacher who not only knew
nineteenth century literature, he knew
twentieth century New Haven and
children as well.
• Finally, and most importantly, great
teachers shape lives because they are
authentic and believable human
beings. There is something about
their relationships with others that
students automatically understand.
They not only know their subject and
their students, they are able to reveal
themselves as believable human
beings as well. In addition to
teaching subjects, these teachers
teach themselves.
In the end, I believe that great teachers
are viewed as good and trusted friends. I
suspect that everyone in the audience can
remember at least one great teacher who
has changed your life. If this were a
Quaker meeting, I would suggest a
moment of silence to recall the
outstanding teachers that we have known.
Bear in mind, many of the influences
likely came in the early years.
About two years ago, I was in the
airport in Kansas City and read an
opinion-page article in the newspaper that
poignantly reminded me of the influences
of early education. It was written by
Robert Faughum and was entitled, “All I
Ever Really Needed to Know I Learned
in Kindergarten.” Faughum wrote:
Most of what I really needed to know
about how to live, and what to do, and
how to be, I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top of the
graduate school mountain, but there is
the sandbox at the nursery school.
These are the things I learned: Share
everything. Play fair. Don’t hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess. Don’t take
things that aren’t yours. Say you’re
sorry when you hurt somebody. Wash
your hands before you eat. Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good
for you. Live a balanced life. Learn
some and think some and draw and
paint and sing and dance and play and
work every day some.
Take a nap every afternoon. When you
go out into the world, watch for traffic,
hold hands, and stick together. Be
aware of wonder. Remember the little
seed in the plastic cup. The roots go
down and the plant goes up and nobody
really knows how or why, but we are
all like that.
Goldfish and hamsters and white mice
and even the little seed in the plastic
cup — they all die. So do we.
And then remember the book about
Dick and Jane and the first word you
learned, the biggest word of all:
LOOK. Everything you need to know
is in there somewhere. The Golden
Rule and love and basic sanitation.
Ecology and politics and sane living.
Think of what a better world it would
be if all of us — the whole world — had
cookies and milk about 3 o’clock every
afternoon and then lay down with our
blankets for a nap. Or if we had a basic
policy in our nation and all other
nations to always put things back where
we found them and to clean up our own
messes.
And it is still true, no matter how old
you are, when you go out into the
world, it is best to hold hands and stick
together.
(Reprinted from the Kansas City Tunes,
September 17, 1986.)
We have an arrangement in our society
in which the higher up the ladder you go
the more status we assign teaching. Why
not reverse this pattern and affirm that the
most profound influences and the most
sustaining lessons are learned during the
foundation years. Indeed, if this nation
were to give as much status to first grade
teachers as we do to full professors, we
might well bring excellence to education
in that one act alone.
I would like to say a word about my
colleagues in higher education. We
should be honest enough to confess that
very often it is the climate on campus that
discourages the brightest from entering
teaching. During our study of the
American college, we talked to students
who said, “I would love to be a teacher,
but my senior adviser said that is the
worst choice I could make.” Despite the
inclement climate on campus, the higher
education community has the audacity to
criticize the schools.
I would like to see high school students
recruited into the profession because
some teacher said, “You’re good enough
to be a teacher.” I would like to see
summer seminars in which young people
are brought to campus to celebrate good
teaching. If we are truly serious about
recruiting the coming generation into
teaching, we should start with those
students who are in today’s high school
classrooms; they are the teachers of
tomorrow.
I also believe that colleges can offer
symbols to indicate how important this
nation feels about its teachers. I was
complaining to President Tim Healy ot
Georgetown University a few years ago
that we don’t give adequate attention to
teaching, especially in higher education.
Father Healy allowed me to rant and rave
and then, in his very gentle, judicial
manner, said, “Let me tell you about
what we have done at Georgetown.”
In looking over the records of
freshmen, he discovered fifteen students
from Bronx High School of Science, one
of the best schools in New York City. He
was so intrigued that he called the
students into his office and asked them to
tell him about their experiences at Bronx
and why they had chosen Georgetown.
He then turned to them and asked,
“Could you name a teacher at Bronx
High School who is truly outstanding?”
After consulting with one another, the
students agreed that one particular
teacher had been truly unusual in their
lives.
That evening, Father Healy called the
teacher. “This is Father Healy of
Georgetown. I would like you to come to
our campus this spring because I have it
on good authority that you have devoted
your life to the education of the coming
generation. I would like you to accept an
honorary degree from Georgetown.”
The teacher was speechless, but, come
the spring, the man participated in
commencement exercises. When it came
time to award the last honorary' degree,
Father Healy said. “The last honoree is a
high school teacher who has given
seventeen years to the education of the
next generation.”
Father Healy said he wasn't prepared
for the wave of support from the
audience. Students, he said, were
reminded of the teachers they had had
before coming to Georgetown. Parents
were reminded of the importance of
teaching in our culture, and faculty
members were reminded that education
did not begin with them. For one
powerful moment, this teacher who had
given his intelligence and soul to young
people was celebrated. By awarding that
honorary' degree, Georgetown recognized
that it could not exist as a great and
distinguished university w'ithout teachers
in the public schools.
To achieve excellence, this nation must
affirm the essentialness of teaching. I
would be very pleased if the next
President of the United States would
declare that a top priority for the nation
must be to give status to our teachers —
the unsung heroes of America.
To do so, would celebrate the singular
importance of teachers to school
improvement and school reform. In the
end, the quality of American education
can be no greater than the dignity we
assign to teaching.

WILKES BEGINS NEW PRE-MED PROGRAM
WITH PCOM
From left, Dr. Joseph Dietetic, Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth, President of Wilkes: Dr. Peter J. Tilley,
President ofPCOM; and Dr. Ralph Rozelle. Wilkes Dean ofHealth Sciences.
Wilkes now has a new pre-med
program with the Philadelphia College of
Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). The
program will enable qualified students to
earn both a baccalaureate and a Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine in just seven years,
and guarantees at least 15 qualified
students annually admission to PCOM.
“We are enthusiastic about the
opportunity this pre-med program
provides for students. We are especially
pleased that the affiliation is with PCOM,
the largest osteopathic medical college in
the nation,” said Dr. Christopher N.
Breiseth, President of Wilkes.
According to Wilkes Dean of Health
Sciences, Ralph B. Rozelle, the career
track requires students to complete
(successfully) three years at Wilkes
before entering the selection process that
will take them to PCOM for four years of
study. Upon graduation from PCOM, the
students will hold both the baccalaureate
degree from Wilkes and the Doctor of
Osteopathic Medicine degree from
PCOM.
Dr. Peter J. Tilley, President of PCOM,
said, “This joint program is a good fit.
Using curriculum adjustments, we will be
able to coordinate with Wilkes College to
reduce the overall cost of medical
education. In addition, we will be
preparing a stream of general practice
physicians, many of whom will return to
practice in an area of the state that has
been historically underserved.”

Wilkes Drug and Alcohol Center Receives Grant
WILKES-BARRE — Wilkes Drug and
Alcohol Center recently received a grant
which will allow instruction of law
enforcement officers and parents. Wilkes
is already helping to educate high school
teachers on how they can play major roles
in the fight to eliminate drug problems in
their respective schools.
The program, which is funded through
a “Drug Free Schools and Communities
Program Grant” from the United States
Department of Education, is the only one
of its kind in the state. This spring, the
first two of eight cycles were completed.
Approximately 30 teachers representing
12 public schools in Luzerne and
Wyoming counties were in each cycle.
"The course was practical and
informative. The insight I gained was
invaluable, it was fantastic!” said Al
Dobrowalski, psychology teacher at
Wyoming Valley West. “They taught us
to help with treatment, rather than just the
punitive measures. We found out, it’s a
disease, and we hope to treat it and help
the person go on.”
The course for teachers is under the
direction of the Division of Graduate
Studies, and graduate credits will be
awarded. However, the courses for law
enforcement officers and parents, which
will begin in September, will be under the
Division of Continuing Education. Both
are part of the college’s “Center for
Excellence,” an educational resource
center on campus.

Wilkes Breaks Ground for New Sports and Conference Center
A groundbreaking ceremony was held
in preparation for the construction of the
new Sports and Conference Center,
which will replace the previous gym at
the same location on South Franklin
Street.
The basic structure of the S4.9 million
building is to be completed by September,
and it should be ready for occupancy by
December.
The existing gym was built in 1950 to
serve a student body of 750. However,
the facility became overwhelmed by the
requirements of the current 3.000
full-time, part-time, graduate and
undergraduate students.
To be included in the three-story.

Wilkes Campaign Raises
$121,000
Wilkes Community/Corporate/College
Campaign announced, following an
evaluation meeting, that over $121,000
had been raised, which surpasses this
year’s goal and the amount raised by the
time of the Final Report Luncheon by
over$11,000.
The 1988 Community/Corporate/

$110,000, ten percent higher than last
year’s. This part of the campaign is a
phase of the Annual Fund which has an
overall goal in 1988 of $750,000. The
Capital Campaign is a separate project
with a five-year goal of $18 million.
This is the first year that Wilkes has
added the College Division to what was
called the Community/Corporate
Campaign, and it proved to be successful,
with the college collecting over $21,000.
According to Richard Hendershott,
Director of the Annual Fund the
successful dollar amount was reached in
spite of the fact that 30 percent of the
1,200 pledge cards were still out at the
time of the evaluation meeting, and work
was bring done to follow-up on those.
“We got tremendous input and
suggestions about the campaign at the
evaluation meeting. Overall, everyone
thought the campaign went well,” said
Hendershott. "We’ve got great people
who are willing to give time and effort to

In Memoriam
Professor Catherine H. Bone, a former
member of the Wilkes College Chemistry
faculty (1946-1965) died May 1988 at the
age of 95. She will be missed by the
Wilkes College Community.
Professor Bone enjoyed a very fruitful
and rewarding life as an excellent teacher
and professor. A graduate of Bloomsburg
State Normal School in 1914, she
subsequently received her B.S. and M.S.
degrees in chemistry from Pennsylvania
State College during a period when very
few woman worked toward advanced
degrees in science.
At Wilkes College she taught the
introductory courses in chemistry until
her retirement in 1965. Anyone who was
fortunate enough to attend her lecture and
laboratory classes at Wilkes will testify
not only to her effectiveness as a
professor but also to her sympathetic
understanding of students’ problems.
At Commencement in 1976, the Wilkes
College Board of Trustees designated her
Professor Emerita of Chemistry.
Professor Bone devoted her entire adult
public life to teaching and was an ardent
conversationalist. Her colleagues had
occasion to visit her periodically
ollowing her retirement and observed
1 iat her keen mind remained until the
end.

away," i.aid alumna Carolyn Kresge
I'.rman, who now resides in El Centro,
California, eight miles north of the
border of Mexico.
Since coming to Wilkes in 1959,
Chapline has been both a musical director
and conductor for musical theatre and
opera productions for more than 25
performances at Wilkes. At the colleges
commencement exercises last year, he
was named professor emeritus, and in
that same year, at Philadelphia’s Music
Academy, Chapline was one of ten
Pennsylvania music editors to receive the
1987 Citation of Excellence Award
presented by the Pennsylvania Music
Editors Association.
“Normally, I’m not one who is at a loss
for words, but I’m still speechless. From
beginning to end, it was wonderful. I
couldn’t look into the people’s faces when
I was conducting because I might have,
broken down. I’ve never seen anything
like it,” Chapline said after the concert.
Although he is retiring, Chapline said
he will remain active in Wilkes’ Music
Department.
RICHARD CHAPLINE
Included in the program were remarks
by Jim Ruck, former student of
Chapline’s and coordinator of the
concert, and a poem in tribute to
Chapline and commemorating the
occasion by Alfred S. Groh, Special
Assistant for Cultural Affairs. Chapline
also received congratulatory letters from
Governor Robert Casey and President
Ronald Reagan.
Ruck said in his remarks at the concert,
“The performance of Mr. Chapline’s
students clearly reflects the uncommon
ability to communicate in public the high
standards of artistic performances held by
Mr. Chapline . .. People from all walks
of life have come together during the past
24 hours to share in the joy of music and
to honor our teacher, Mr. Chapline.”

HOMECOMING '85 A REAL SUCCESS
AND HOMECOMING '86 PLANS ARE UNDERWAY
Wilkes College celebrated its 38th An
nual Homecoming on October 4, 5 and 6,
when students, faculty and staff were on
hand to welcome hundreds of returning
alumni to campus for the weekend cele
bration.
A special part of this year's festivities
was the honoring of the first graduating
class of the college, (then known as Bucknell University Junior College). This class
of 1935 concluded the weekend with a
gala dinner dance held at the Sheraton
Crossgates in Wilkes-Barre, where they
were honored as the “Golden Colonels,”
and each received a commemorative di
ploma.
While the afterglow is still there, Tony
Shipula is busy planning the next homecoming which will take place on October
17, 18 and 19, 1986. Mark your calendar
and watch for further details.
Shown are the Golden Colonels, from
left to right, seated:
Front row, (left to right): Eleanor Scureman Fox, Mrs. Wanda Bonn, Robert
Bonn, Christopher Breiseth and Beverly

ock, James Mollahan, Vincent Loftus, Dr.

CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING
ARTS CELEBRATES 20th BIRTHDAY
Wilkes College marked the 20th Anni
versary of the Dorothy Dickson Darte
Center for the Performing Arts at the En
core Gala performance on Tuesday, Octo
ber 22 and the John Wilkes Club Dinner
on Wednesday, October 23.
The Encore Gala, an evening of theater
in the Center for the Performing Arts,
showcased many alumni and friends who
had their first taste of theater on the
Wilkes College stage. Performers in
cluded many well-known community
members and other out-of-thc-area peo
ple who are professionally established
from all walks of life, and who have fond
memories of their years spent at Wilkes
College.
The Encore Gala also paid tribute to the
Darte-Darling family, whose support has
contributed significantly to cultural de-
velopment at Wilkes. Dorothy Dickson
Darte was largely responsible for the
building of the Center for the Performing
Arts, but insisted that her contributions
remain anonymous. It was not until after
her death that the Center bore her name.
Following the Encore Gala, Mrs. Darte
and her family were honored by the
Board of Trustees at the John Wilkes Club
Dinner on Wednesday evening. The Cen
ter for the Performing Arts was rededi
cated in the memory of Mrs. Darte's
daughter, Kitty Darling, and grandson,
Edward Darling, Jr. Mrs. Darling's hus
band, Edward Darling, Esq., and daugh
ter, Dorothy Darling Mangelsdorf, ac
cepted a rededication plaque, to be
placed in the lobby of the Dorothy Dick
son Darte Center.

alumni who did not specify the amount of
their gifts.” Tony also praised the volun

�July, 1989
Dear Friends,
Speaking at Wilkes
College’s 42nd annual Com
mencement, U.S. Senator Bill
Bradley challenged us all to work
for a better America.
We at Wilkes believe that
preparing young men and women
for the next generation of leader
ship is a profoundly important part of meeting that challenge.
In this issue of the Quarterly, we celebrate the new begin
nings for our newest graduates.
As you read the stories of our honor graduates, you will be
struck especially by Dolores Vida, who set her sights on a college
degree and worked steadfastly for 18 years to make her dream
come true. That kind of persistence and determination is evi
denced by many Wilkes students in many different ways — by
Renee Strucke and David Garber in earning unsurpassable grades;
by Mark Vetovitz in demonstrating outstanding leadership quali
ties.
And in Tom Zuback we find another valued quality — the
ability to recognize that we don’t do it alone. Zuback nominated
his high school teacher, Karen Burke, for the inspirational teach
ing award, recognizing her influence in guiding him where he is
today: ready to embark on a career as a graphic artist.
Like Tom, none of us does it alone.
At Commencement and throughout the year, we thank those
of you w'ho make it possible for us — like our new graduates__
to meet our goals and dreams.
On behalf of the entire college community, let me express
our gratitude.
Sincerely,
Christopher N. Breiseth
President

The Quarterly
Bradley challenges Wilkes grads
to work for an America of Excellence
I’d like to offer my congratulations to all of you on this
special day. Today you achieve a goal you set many years ago
and you and your families can be proud of the hard work and
accomplishment this day represents.
Woody Allen once offered the following advice to a
graduating class. He said “Two paths lie ahead of you; one
leads to utter despair and the other to total extinction. May
you have the wisdom to choose wisely.”
During my senior year in college, because I was a good
basketball player, I became the subject of much public
attention. Every day, stacks of letters arrived from strangers.
They bore offers, advice, admiration, criticism, and questions
about everything from what I ate to “what is beauty.”
One day came an offer to appear on the cover of a new
magazine called Geraleman sQuanerly. I was asked to pose
for a picture wearing my favorite attire — a problematic
request because my clothes could never be mistaken for
attire. But, I said yes, admitting to youthful self-satisfaction
and the twitter of celebrity. Years later one Knick teammate
who believed my chances of being mugged in New York
were small because I dressed as if I’d already been mugged,
called that picture in that magazine in my senior year at
Princeton, “the most counterfeit image in the history ofjour
nalism.”
I can remember that Spring back in 1965 — studying
for final exams, taking a moment to look up from my books,
gaze out the window and dream. I dreamed of the moment
when I w-ould hand in my thesis and finish my exams and I’d
be free. I dreamed about going to Oxford, reading novels,
playing basketball, seeing far away lands, and, yes, about
making the worlds betterplace. That was nearly 25 years ago
but I bet on any day I could walk into Farley library and sense
100 drcams drifting in the air.

J0ur Yearns to face a

We live in a time;
— When the global environment is threatened;
— When 1000’s die each year from a disease unheard
of a decade ago;
— When drugs create no-parent families;
—When kids kill kids in our cities and people sleep on
the streets;
— When our productivity and prosperity depend on
how often we cooperate, how much wc invest, and how well
wc innovate;
— When a new age struggles to be bom in The Pacific
Rim and Europe, China and the Soviet Union.
U.S. Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey
Andasalwaysatsuch times,ourcapacityforimaginaUon wi"
Woodrow Wilson once said that leaders
“never demonstrated achievement. They conceived it.” This
is particularly important today as wc look at the USSR and
decide what we should do.
Everyday I pick up the newspaper and read a news
story about the Soviet Union I never expected. It’s like a
Dickens novel unfolding before my eyes:
Hie Soviets pull out of Afghanistan; unilat
erally reduce conventional forces by 500,000;
and propose reductions in weapons grade ura
nium.
The Kremlin asks for price reform; admits
udget deficit three times greater titan the US in

What is going on?
In 1985 Mikhail Gorbachev took over a country with
a rising infant and adult mortality rate; a country where 13%
of all deaths were due to bad water; a country that was corrupt
to the core, not only in the normal sense of criminality, which
was rampant, but also in the sense of people losing faith that
the system could deliver anything better for their children.
When Gorbachev took over, he decided that the Soviet
Union would remain a fourth-rate economic power and could
slip lo a second rale, military power by the turn of the century
unless he embarked on massive reforms.
Will perestroika, glasnost, and democratization work?
Il is too early lo tell. But one Soviet reformer I know says the
way wc will be able to tell if perestroika has w orked is when
more people want to get into the Soviet Union than want logci

But what if the Soviet Union really ischanging? What
if there’s an historic transformation going on?
For 50 years, ever since FDR said that the w orld was
divided between human slavery and human freedom, wc
have known which side we were on. We were against
Imperial Japan, the Nazis, Communist China, Soviet Com

ive honorary degrees
Rescigno shares a moment with George Ralston
Wilkes College conferred the honorary Doctor of
Humane Letter on two distinguished guests at the 42nd
Annual Commencement
Senator Bill Bradley, who was commencement speaker,
and Dr. Ronald Rescigno, an alumnus of Wilkes and an
internationally respected educator, received the honorary
degrees in recognition of their individual contributions to
education and to society.
Wilkes President Christopher N. Brciseth praised the
two men for their commitment to leadership in areas of
education, national issues, and public concern.
Breiscth praised Bradley’s “disciplined intelligence
and passion for excellence (applied) to issues in education,
children, the elderly, economic development, the environ
ment, free and fair trade worldwide, providing intelligent
leadership to self-governing, democratic people.”
Rescigno has received world-wide acclaim for his role
in developing the “SmartClassroom,” the revolutionary new
approach in teaching and learning through computers in the
classroom. Brciseth praised Rescigno for his pioneer efforts
in “orchestrating the most advanced educational technology
to help students leant through teacher directed-individualized instruction ... to motivate and empower students to
prepare for adult roles in the technologically sophisticated
21st century.” Brciseth added, “Dr. Rescigno has inspired
teamwork and investment among teachers, parents, business
and government leaders to revitalize our public schools and
prepare our children for productive, fulfilling lives in the
information age.”
Bradley holds degrees from Princeton University and
Oxford University, where he was a Rhodes Scholar.
Rescigno holds degrees from Wilkes College, Colum
bia University, and the University of Northern Colorado.
Bradley
If the Soviet threat diminished, in fact, then our chal
lenge will be for positive definition.
Some will say find another enemy — maybe Japan,
Iran, Cuba, Nicaragua.
Others — and I put myself in this ealegory' — seek as
an opportunity fcr us, in a rapidly changing world, to define
who wc are and what we believe and offer the world a positive
new' vision.
What should be the goal for American society?
In one word, excellence.
Thomas Jefferson believed every person in our de
mocracy is potentially "an athlete of body and Aristotle of
mind.” Everyone in our democracy—healthy and educated.
Impossible you say? Unrealistic ' The musing of an
agrarian idealist? Maybe. But why shouldn't the goal of
American democracy be "every person — healthy and edu
cated?”
If not that, whom do wc relegate to the “no-chance”
category before we start?
New Jersey teacher cited as most inspirational
“Teachers need to remember that subject matter is secondary and
the student comes first,” said Karen Burke, the Hillsborough (NJ) High
School English teacher who won th is year's Wilkes College Inspirational
Teaching Award.
Her philosophy of teaching, put into action, prompted Tom Zub
ack, a graduating senior at Wilkes, to nominate Burke for the award which
honors an outstanding high school teacher.
“Perhaps Ms. Burke’s greatest contribution was her tremendous
personal and emotional support towards me when I was having some very
difficult times,” he wrote in his nominating letter. Burke also helped him
leant about college applications, interview techniques and financial aid,
Zuback said.
Although he appreciated her then, Zuback said it was only after
wards that “I realized how much time she sacrificed for me. Later you
realize that teachers don’t have to do that — they aren’t required to be
concerned.”
Zuback and Burke first met when he was a sophomore and wanted
a position on the publications staff. She advised the yearbook staff in a
workshop class. He was chosen as a photographer and assistant sports
editor that year and as editor for senior class materials the following year.
Tom Zuback with teacher Karen Burke
He has followed that path in college, working as layout editor of the Wilkes yearbook for the past two years.
In nominating Burke, Zuback praised his teacher’s ability to work with students personally and her ability to present
subject matter. She “embedded design rules and principles that I still take into account today,” said Zuback, who is graduating
with an bachelor of fine arts degree and plans on a career in graphic design.
“Shealsoalways encouraged acreative and literary side out of me that wasn’t tooprominentpriortopublications staff.”
Burke also had praise for Zuback. “Having him was like having a gift in class,” she said.
Although she was not surprised that Zuback has done well in college and pursued the interests she nurtured, she
confessed, “I am surprised that he remembered me in the way he did.”
Bradley
Without a goal, how do wc measure success? With a
__ how can wc live up to the promise of our
lesser goal,
Founders?
For America, a sense of promise is not a source of
pride unless it is pursued and realized.
America should have a big ambition. A continental
nation blessed with liberty, natural resources, and diverse
peoples needs a big ambition. The nation of Paul Bunyan,
Davy Crockett, Pecos Bill cannot accept some miniature
ambition. A nation that settled a continent, built an “empire
of liberty,” saved Europe twice from itself, put a man on the
moon, shed an institution and legacy of racial shame, and
created a culture imitated around the globe -— such a nation
cannot accept some miniature ambition.
Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton believed they
•were creating anew society different from all others, purified
in nature yet true to man’s universal yearning for individual

perfect people but wc are called to a perfect mission.”

depression and against the advance of Fascism, that America
represented the last, best, hope of mankind.
So what wc need is not the ambition to survive but
rather the ambition to flourish — to reach our potential for
greatness — which wc do not always sec.
Wc Americans are modest people who arc taught from
childhood that greatness conceals itself. Just think of Superman—disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter for
a large metropolitan newspaper — until greatness calls him.
When the need for greatness passes, he returns to his former
life, content that he responded to his challenge.
In real life think of Washington and Jefferson who
governed as President and then returned to the farm, to their
debts, and to a peace of mind that comes from having served
well. An article of the Democratic faith is that greatness lies
in each citizen, just as it did in 1 larry Truman.
So why not a big ambition? Why not every person in
America — healthy and educated, an athlete of body and
Aristoileof mind.
When Jefferson set that goal he was arguing philosophy, but today the need to realize our human potential may
very well be the key to our economic and political future in
a competitive world. Just think, forexample: every American mother who can’t afford prenatal health care: every 10
year-old who doesn’t have enough to eat; every teenager who
can’t read the instructions on a frozen food package, much
less on a job application; every life wasted by drugs — these
mean America not only is less than it could be, but less than
we need to be.
So today inaworldw ith a global economy and aglobal
ecology our national goal must tv excellence.
And, our national agenda must be;

rt~rererefrrre Sterling added. “His
■. ersadlhy is based on a willingness to
re-pend u the needs of students and to
train himself to fulfill those needs.”
In accepting die award Fuller
talked about his philosophy for teach
ing. “Perhaps my ultimate effective
ness as an educator lies in a willingness
to respect my students, to share my
knowledge and to help them realize
they have something worthwhile to share
with others and that through their par
ticipation in the visual arts, the quality
of their lives may be enriched in a more
meaningful way.”
Fuller has continued to study new
concepts and techniques both here and
abroad. In 1984 he spent his sabbatical
in Japan to study Japanese textile de
sign with the prominent indigo dyer,

Vida survives tragedy to earn psychology degree
Dolores Cigan Vida married at
19 and prepared to live the life that
entailed in the mid-1950’s — wife and
eventually mother of three children.
She was happy with the life she had
chosen, but Dolores dreamed of going
to college.
“The desire was always there,”
she said, “but at first it was just a dream.

come true, physician graduates of Wilkes College and

three men in mid-Fcbruary.
The 150 physicians who earned their degrees
through the Wilkes-Hahnemann program represent the
fruition of the vision of Drs. Lester M. Saidman and
Charles E. Myers and Congressman Daniel J. Flood, Presi
dent Breiseth said, adding that “Part of the remarkable
health care of the valley is due to this program.”
Recounting the history of the program, Dr. Ralph
Rozelle, dean of health sciences at Wilkes, recalled how he
had been summoned to an urgent meeting with Chancellor
Farley, President Michclini, Saidman and Myers at the
Farley home in 1971.
The two physicians, members of a committee
studying local health care, had noted that more than half
the valley's doctors were over 56 years of age. In Luzerne
County, 72 physicians were between the ages of 62 and
65, while only 23 were between 31 and 35. All agreed that
help was needed to ensure continuing medical care for the
valley.
They turned to Hahnemann, which was receptive
but skeptical about practical matters.
U.S. Rep. Dan Flood solved those problems,
Rozelle said. The program received more than S2 million
in federal grants, enabling it to operate for 16 years.
For Wilkes, “the biggest benefit was the outstanding

young men and women who were such a
pleasure to teach and have made such an out
standing contribution to our community,"
Rozelle said.
But the celebration focused on the
three individuals who helped make it all
possible. Dr. Lester Saidman, Dr. Charles
Myers and Rep. Dan Flood were awarded the
Distinguished Medical Service Award from
the Wilkes College Board of Trustees.
Presenting awards to the individual
honorees were Dr. Bruce Saidman, Dr.
David Greenwald, and Rozelle.

Kanjorski dedicates Thin Film Laboratory
"The Wilkes College School of Engineering and Physical Sciences
has recognized and responded to an important high-technology need in the
Commonw ealth of Pennsylvania," said Congressman Paul E. Kanjorski as
he dedicated the school’s new S350,000Thin Film Laboratory, housed in the
Center for Materials Processing and Diagnostics.
Kanjorski toured the new facility- in June and discussed with faculty
the many ways in which the facility will now serve the private and public
sectors. Kanjorksi also gave high praises to an ever-broadening curriculum
that continues to give students practical applications for high technology.
Dr. Ali Razavi, associate professor of engineering and director of
the laboratory, made special mention of the lab’s ability to process and test
a variety of thin films, including superconducting films.
"Although the facility has just been officially dedicated, it has
already been involved in various projects with government and industry,"
Dr. Razavi said. 'It has an established reputation not only in the area of thin
films, but also in areas of high-temperature superconducting thin films and,
in fact, our present activities are concentrated heavily in superconductors."

Chwalek portrait unveiled in Career Services
Wilkes College recently unveiled a portrait of John
Chwalek, which will hang permanently in the office of
Career Services.
Chwalek, a special assistant for college advancement and an employee of the school since 1946, was the
founder of the guidance and placement department, which
became Career Service in 1980.
"I feel very good about the honor," Chwalek said,
"In 1947, when Buckncll Junior College became Wilkcs.Dr.
Eugene Farley asked me to create a service for the seniors
because they needed jobs. We only had a budget ot S100.
Within five years, we had 250 companies and school systems
involved and hundreds of students were placed.
"I went out and visited most of the firms and
companies and formed lies. For example. I instituted the
internship program for accountants, something which went
on to become a big part of accounting at Wilkes."
Chwalek remembers some trying times in the early
stngcsofplacing Wilkes students. "It wasalwaysabaitle, he
said, "Wilkes College wasn't well known. But once out

Dear Fellow Alumni:
Our second annual Reunion Weekend was one of sharing the warmth we
as alumni feel for Wilkes College. We have included one special highlight — a
toast from Al Groh — on the back cover because I know it will touch those who
were not able to attend as well as those who were.
Another Reunion highlight was the announcement that the Class of 1949
had surpassed its Class Gift goal of $40,000 — by committing to give the College
more than $107,000.
All the rest of us have the chance to be part of a successful gift by
responding to a challenge grant from the Surdna Foundation which has pledged to
match alumni donations dollar for dollar up to $75,000. Details on that challenge
are outlined below.
Finally, I wanted to suggest that you mark your calendars two very special alumni events — Homecoming
October 20-22 and a 10-day alumni cruise to the Hawaiian Islands leaving April 28,1990.
Hoping to see you on the ship or on campus,
rj. Shfpula II, '78

Class of '49 pledges $107,000 reunion gift
In December of 1988, Alumni Director Tony Shipula met with Dr. Philip Baron, a graduate of the Class of 1949, to

Dear Friends,
We have already shared the news about Wilkes University
with our alumni and friends, but we have outlined for you in
this issue the decisions that led to our new status. We will
share the celebration itself in the next issue of The Quarterly.
We have devoted this issue to our business program and its
far-flung alumni. I expect you will especially enjoy the
success stories shared by Gerald Moffatt, Deborah Eastwood,
Colleen Gries, John Miller, Ferris Miller, David Hoffman,
Michael Bianco, Rhea Simms, Luciana Suraci, Mary Louise
Schaefer and Thomas Kelly.
This issue also includes profiles on seven freshmen —
members of the Class of 1993 — who are maintaining the
Wilkes tradition of good scholarship, good fellowship and
high ideals and aspirations. They reflect well on themselves,
their high schools and families and on Wilkes University and
its Dean of Admissions, Bernard J. Vinovrski.
Cordially,
Christopher N. Breiseth

“Unthinkable,” says a group of
local bank executives.

an admitted bias. All earned at least
one degree from Wilkes. But their
perspective from the world of finance
is unanimous. The city wouldn’t be
the same without its colleges and
university. It wouldn’t be nearly as
stable economically.
Clearly, the city’s economy is
directly affected by the university.
First is the payroll, a fairly
straightforward amount generated by
the 355 faculty and staff.
Not only does the community
benefit from the buying power of
students, faculty and staff but also
from the university's “collective
buying power,” said Ciarmatori.
It certainly affects the hotel and
restaurant business, said Gover.
Many hotels and motels report that
their busiest times are key university
events: commencement, homecom
ing, parents weekend.
Moreover, the university has a
less tangible effect, he added.

Bruce Gover
A 1972 graduate of Wilkes, Gover found
himself well prepared for his first job with the state
auditor general, a job he got through a Wilkes
interview. Joining Northeastern Bank in a manage
ment training program, he has progressed to vice
president in the trust division. He earned a Wilkes
M.B.A. in 1977 while working at Northeastern and
praises the academic arrangements which allow
graduate students to earn advanced degrees while
maintaining their employment. “It helps you target in

Bankers' View
said. If your parents own the business, you’ll get the job with
or without a degree. But getting that degree may enable you
to expand the business.
They also believe the university should continue to
work closely with industrial development, offering the spe
cialized programs that attract specific businesses. Wilkes has
a long tradition of doing just that — beginning with the
decision to offer a graduate science program to bring RCA to
the area and continuing with management training programs
at Sallie Mae, RJR Nabisco and Diversified Records.
Throughout the business community, Wilkes is recog
nized as a stable institution, the bankers said. University
Libro Ciarmatori
A 1972 graduate, Ciarmatori says, “I had an
overwhelmingly good experience at Wilkes.”
“The college didn’t prepare me for what I do on
a daily basis, but I don’t think anybody could have
done that but the bank. But the general background —
how to talk to people, write to people, thought
processes and a lot of things you kind of take for
granted — Wilkes helped tremendously on that.”
A senior vice president in the commercial
lending division of Merchants Bank, Ciarmatori also
earned an M.B.A. degree in 1978.

Robert Matley
A 1973 graduate of Wilkes College who earned
an M.B.A. in 1981, Malley is now vice president for
commercial lending at Hanover Bank of Pennsylva
nia. Matley said he “grew a lot as an individual”
during his undergraduate years.
“The experience was much broader than the
classroom,” he said and has been “very helpful in my
career.”
The university doesn’t pay property taxes on any of its
real estate, Matley said. Although Gover, a Wilkes trustee
noted that the university does make a contribution to cover
municipal services, he said, “It’s nowhere near the potential
lax on the physical plant’’
Wilkes-Barre has a significant problem with non-prof
its, Ciarmatori added. “Fifty percent of the real estate in the
city is non-tax paying — owned by parking authorities,
colleges, churches and the city itself.”
But, Ciarmatori warned, “there might be no tax base
anyway.” Sometimes the city has had to forego back taxes to
keep downtown properly active.
One of Wilkes's most important contributions to the
region is providing a well-educated work force.
The early 1970s graduates remember well that when

A 1971 graduate, Dente earned his undergradu

because of the fine reputation of its accounting pro
gram. He wasn’t disappointed — his undergraduate
education “benefited me tremendously,” he said.

status enhances that, said Gover. Wilkes is generally seen as
a positive force in the community, he added.
Most of its buildings were never commercial, but
always residential. The 1972 flood accelerated trends to
move business away from downtown, into strip and mall
development, the bankers said.
Wilkes-Barre has hung on, and the colleges have helped
maintain a beautiful look to downtown.
And, they asked, if the university weren’t here, what
would be? “Could anyone else have maintained the historic
buildings?” Dente asked.
“Nobody could afford to live in those homes — they
couldn’t pay for heat,” Gover added.
Without Wilkes, what would be on South Franklin
Street?
Says Gover: “Zip.”

said.
The graduate program benefits undergraduate students
as well, he said, since faculty members’ experiences with
advanced students can be shared in undergraduate classes.
“We are primarily an undergraduate institution. We
wouldn’t have a graduate program if we didn t think it
supported and complemented our undergraduate program.”
While the skills acquired in an MBA program may not
necessarily be used in entry-level jobs, just possessing an
MBA can help one applicant stand out over the others, Engel
said. Later on the career path, an MBA can be a valuable
credential for earning senior management status.
Master's in Health Administration
Ever since hospitals were fust administered by business people, there has been an adversarial relationship between the doctors—whose top priority is the patient — and
the administrator — whose top priority is the bottom line.
Wilkes’s master’s degree program in health care administration is helping to bring both sides together to work for
a common purpose.
Developed in 1984 and under the direction of Dr.
Ashim Basu since 1987, the MHA program has some 90
students, most aiming for promotions within the health care
organizations where they are now employed and the remainder looking al entry level management positions in health
care insututions. Because most students are already employed, 90 per cent attend part-time.
Nurses and allied health professionals such as dieti
tians, x-ray technicians and medical technologists are com
mon in the student ranks, along with mid-level managers and
ahandfulofphysicians. Someofthe students haveabachelor’s
degree in a liberal arts field and are working toward a new
position in a variety of health care settings.
The MHA program is flourishing, Basu said because
“health care is a dynamic area and changing rapidly ”
In 1988, health care costs amounted to S550 billion and

MHA students concentrate on four major areas:
— Policy, with special attention to how it’s made and
who makes it; what interest groups influence it; the Great
Society and War on Poverty programs that affect it so much,
including Medicare and Medicaid; and the health care professions with their associated professional power.

—The public nature of health care. “Too many people
considerhealth care in a selfish way,” Basu said. “It’s not just
for you and me but for the whole society.”
Building on Dr. Basu’s special expertise in interna
tional health care, the Wilkes program also includes an
overall focus on international health issues, looking both at

Graduate Study in Business
Who wants an MHA degree?
Don Cameron, M.D., was feeling frustrated. As a physician, he was bothered that hospital administrators with no
medical training were intruding and making decisions that affect medical care. “If we are going to have a more managed and
efficient medical delivery system, then physicians have to be involved in the decisions because they do affect medical care,”
he said. “Physicians have to have the administrative training to interface with administrators at the heart of the system and
be more involved in making total decisions,” Dr. Cameron said. Although he has no intention of ending his practice of
medicine, Cameron enrolled in the MHA program to prepare himself for a combined career in medicine and medical
administration. “Ideally, physicians have to manage themselves,” he said. Costs must be addressed, but not without an eye
to medical care. He is intrigued by the HMO-type settings which are completely administered by physicians and may look
for a position as a physician manager when he completes the MHA program late this year.
“Most of the people in health care are trained in clinical, not administrative, fields,” said Gail Potter, director of
marketing and social services for a 131-bed skilled nursing facility in Broomall, PA. Potter, who finished her MHA degree
in May, enrolled in the program because she was working in long-term care and wanted to pursue long-term care administra
tion. The course work was “definitely relevant,” she said, adding that she found the marketing courses most valuable.
Basu promotes internationalism,
public policy in health care
The internationalflavor of Wilkes's graduate
program in health care administration directly reflects
the international background of the program director,
Dr. Ashim Basu.
A native of Calcutta, India, Basu
traveled the world with his family,
following his father's career in interna
tional banking. He earned his under
graduate and master's degrees from
Jadavpur University, Calcutta, followed
Ashim Basu
with a second master's and a PhD. in
political science with a public policy concentration
from the Claremont Graduate School in California.
Dr. Basu joined Illinois Governor Jim
Thompson's Bureau of the Budget stiff to help with
health care issues, then moved to Sangamon State
University in Springfield, Illinois—a state institution
specializing in public policy issues— to organize a
health administration program there. He returned to
public life on the policy setting team for Illinois
gubernatorial hopeful Adlai Stevenson III in 19S4. He
returned to Sangamon State, where he worked closely
with Dr. Christopher Breiseth, who taught history there,
and enjoyed the opportunity to work on the innovative
public affairs programs.
In 1987 he was invited to join the Wilkes faculty
and direct the MHA program. He teaches courses in
leadership and health care policy issues.
He has studied health care worldwide and spent a
year as a Fulbright Scholar in the Middle East.
AlexApaliski '87 had been in the landscaping busi
ness and enrolled in the MHA program to facilitate a move
into the health care field. While an MHA student, he served
an internship at Blue Cross and from that won his current
position in operations managementat the HMO of Northeast
ern Pennsylvania. “The program is great,” said Apaliski.
“I’ve learned from it and it’s helped me be a more effective
employee for the company.” He especially appreciated the
leadership courses “because they bring to the table a lot of
things that are absent in health care now and present the tools
you need to make those changes.”
John Bustin used his CPA status as a springboard into
health care. Butafter 10 years at Williamsport Hospital, when
the position of vice president for planning and business
development opened, Bustin realized that he had the wrong
credentials and might not get the promotion. After lengthy
talks, he convinced the new administrator that he was right
for the job, then promised to get the credentials to prove it.
Wilkes’s MHA program was perfect for him. He espe
cially values the ability to take the courses while he's on the
job. “A lot of the material can be applied the minute I bring
it back to work,” he said.
Orlanna Frye, R.N., headed into nursing manage
ment with only her nursing education behind her. She wanted
management training and enrolled in Wilkes’s MBA pro
gram. Shortly after she enrolled, the specialized MHA pro
gram was opened and she moved into that program instead.
Among her bestexperiences in theprogram was the opportu
nity to interact with nursing managers from other hospitals
and with health professionals from other parts of the health
care industry. “Talking about common problems helped
develop a new perspective,” she said. A veteran of 17 years
at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital.Frye directs nursing in the

Farrar and Gera honored with scholarships
Scholarship funds have been established to honor two
veteran members of the business faculty, Professors Emeriti
Welton Farrar and George Gera.
Farrar, who taught more than 40 years at XVilkes, had
helped establish a new speciality in risk management shortly
before his retirement and continues to teach in the program.
Farrar’s career was distinguished with fellowships from the
Foundation for Economic Education; the Ford Foundation; the
General Electric Foundation, and the Insurance Information
Institute. He chaired many Wilkes committes and also served a
term as sports publicity director. Farrar earned his bachelor’s and
master’s degrees from the University of Pennsylvania and
completed additional graduate work at Harvard University.
George Gera
Welton Farrar
Gera joined the XVilkes faculty in 1958 after teaching
secondary school business courses. He built on that secondary teaching background to coordinate the business e-.-i-—

the U.S. Department of Labor. During World War II, Gera served in the U.S. Navy and worked for the Civil Aertinactics
Administration. He earned the B.S. from Bloomsburg State College and the MA. from Columbia Uttivetsity.
Raspen wins Sears teaching award
Professor Richard Raspen has been selected as winner of a 19S9 Sears-Roebuck
Foundation “Teaching Excellence and Campus Leadership Award.” Raspen received
a 51,000 cash award and Wilkes received SI,500.

Foundation for IndependentHigher Education. "They are one ofournation’s most im
portant and finest resources.”
Professor Raspen was honored for innovative approaches to improving business
students' writing skills. Dr. Christopher Breiseth, Wilkes President calls Professor
Raspen, an outstanding educator whose pioneering efforts in the 'writing across the
curriculum program have greatly bene fited the educational programs as a whole. XX'e

Great Professors: Sam Rosen berg
faculty member at Wilkes, George Elliot, would say about
those Hampton years, “The Rosenbergs gave a large
portion of their lives to helping black people long before
the latter were presumed to have any rights or potential
whatsoever.”
The only thing that could have moved Dr. Rosenberg
from Hampton was the promise of new and even greater
challenges for the benefit of others. He left Hampton
Institute in 1943 to accept a position as an economic
advisor and cooperative specialist with the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), an
organization established to help repair the enormous
physical and emotional devastation caused by World War
II. He traveled in Europe, Egypt and Africa where he
helped administer relief, medicine, hope and good will to
countless thousands.
Soon it would be Wilkes College’s tum to benefit from
all of Dr. Rosenberg’s energy and experience. He returned
to the United States in the late 1940s and completed his
Ph.D. at the University of North Carolina. In 1948 he was
invited by Wilkes President Eugene S. Farley to chair the
commerce and finance department at the new College in
Wilkes-Barre.
The department flourished under his leadership for the
next twenty-five years. He established the Internship
Program in accounting. He helped organize the M.B.A.
Program. He encouraged his faculty to follow his lead in
service to the community by establishing professional
enrichment programs, resulting in the strong affilliation
between Wilkes and the business community that is
enjoyed today.
The faculty took great pride in the achievements of
what they called “our department,” and they worked
cohesively as a team, gently pushing the set boundries for
their expanding department- In fact Dr. Farley often
chided them for “sitting together-—and slightly to the left”
at faculty meetings. There was a great deal of nurtual
respect and admiration between the two men and Dr.
Farley was among Rosenberg’s statschest supperters.
We are told that we cannot be all things to all people
but it seems that Sam Rosenberg came as dose as anyone
could. His legacy of caring and service to others and ids
unmatched skills as an edunatcc are evident still tn
Wyoming Valley and beyond.
The philosophy by which he Lived is szre_~ed np in
what was, for those who knew bi—, a
ttcrc:-: “d'

One after another of those who spoke at the dinner
made it very clear that Sam Rosenberg’s life was rooted in
service to others. He had been at Wilkes since 1948 but
his service to others as an educator began much earlier.
Dr. Rosenberg earned both the B.A. (1929) and the
master's degree (1931) at Boston University, before
leaving New England to pursue a college teaching career.
Another very important event had taken place in 1929: he
married Lillian Feinberg on November 23 that year,
begirding a marriage that would grow ever stronger and
span 45 years.
1931 it -was not at all in vogue for an aspiring young
professor to seek a position at a black college. But Dr.

“Accounting is orderly and I like that,” she said. “It’s

It’s not abstract. That’s the type of person I am.”
She chose Wilkes because of the fine accounting fac
ulty — Robert Werner, Robert Capin, Irwin Morrison and
Paul Zavada — all of whom had plenty of practical experi
ence.
In her second semester she became a student assistant
in the accounting department, then moved up to the college
business office. She quickly got away from clerical duties
routinely performed by students and began making up sched

offered a part-time job in the bookkeeping department of the
Rosenn, Jenkins and Greenwald law firm.

before the internship was over, she was asked to stay on
through tax time as a part-time employee.
She joined the firm full-time in 1976 in die accounting
and auditing department, one of four specialty divisions of
the major international accounting firm.
Although she moved up through die ranks in the accounting and auditing department, she maintained her intercst in taxes, helping out during tax time.
After she had been promoted to supervisor, she shifted
from accounting and auditing to the tax department — an
almost unheard of lateral shift of specialties. But she never
faltered on die upward path.
She became a manager in 1987, the same year her son
Christopher was born.
Becoming a manager is not a routine promotion. Every
partner in the local office must recommend the promotion in

When Gerald A. Moffatt started college, he was cer
tain he wanted a career in the exciting world of big business.
Looking back, Moffatt admits hehad very little idea
what was involved in the world of big business. Luckily, he
said, he made the right choice.
A Forty Fort native, Moffatt selected Wilkes from
the colleges that would allow him to stay at home while in
school, without investigating its reputation or program in
accounting. Lucky again, he selected a school that let him get
to the top in his chosen field.
Graduating in 1963 with an accounting major,
Moffattjoined Arthur Andersen & Company. By 1974 he had
worked his way to partnership and since 1988 has been
managing directorof Arthur Andersen’s worldwide telecom
munications consulting practice.
Since the break-up of the Bell System five years ago
and with almost daily breakthroughs in technology, Moffatt
has found telecommunications to be a most exciting field.

through a litany of impressive names: Wharton Business

to make it in the Big Apple.”

Although the companies he works with — Bell,
AT&T and others — have their primary business relation
ship with Arthur Andersen as an auditing firm, they have
come to rely on Moffatt’s company for business consulting
services as well, he said.
“They go where they get advice that makes sense,”
Moffatt said. “We fill the role of trusted adviser.” Arthur
Andersen offers consulting services in general business,
systems consulting, tax and mergers and acquisitions.
Consulting is “more fun” than pure accounting,

her Wilkes degree has actually made a difference in her
career. Without that degree in economics, she wouldn’t be
where she is now — executive director of Maternal and
Family Health Services, Inc. in Wilkes-Barre.
Schaefer’s career began with the flood. The same week
she began making the drive from Tunkhannock to WilkesBarre the rains started.
She remembers being told to head home from work early
that day, how the half hour drive took seven hours and how
for days and days, she could not return to Wilkes-Barre.
So her earliest days with Maternal and Family Health —
a multi-faceted social service agency offering family plan
ning, the WIC nutrition program for women, infants and
children, maternity services, and cancer screening — were
spent not in health care, but assigned to the Small Business
Administration, helping people recover from the flood.

In 1979, she was asked to become family planning director, but the job required a college degree and she didn’t have
one. She had taken some nursing courses and a few courses
toward a baccalaureate degree, but her young family had
taken priority and she had never finished a degree.

C lassmates who remember Rhea Poli tis Simms from the
1950s probably expected her to shine on Broadway. A music
major, she played the leads in The Sound of Music and
Camelot.
But then she left college behind, married Ren Simms
and had three children. Encouraged by a friend, she studied
for and passed the real estate licensing exam in 1972and west
to work at Bell Real Estate in Kingston, selling in the
executive home division.
When her youngest started college, she decided to go
into business for herself and purchased Lewith &. Freeman
Real Estate.
In preparation, she had gone back to Wilkes to finish her
degree. “I got much more out of Wilkes in the last two years,"
said S imms, who earned her degree in history in 197S. “I bad
a much more serious attitude."

Hoffman: A Wilkes-Barre landmark
David Hoffman '70 is a man with a plan.
From age 9, when he first decided to own his own
business, he’s been on the road to hiscurrentpost as president
of Town & Country’ Furniture in downtown Wilkes-Barre.
Hoffman clearly recalls his decision about going into
business. He had gone with his dad to take the car for service
and the service manager was rude. “I realized then that I
wanted to have a business and to treat people decently,”
Hoffman said. “One of the prerequisites of people working
for me is treating people the way they want to be treated. We
treat people with dignity, respect, caring and honesty.”
Although Hoffman early realized that he wanted to own
a business, it took a while to know just what kind of business.
He had finished college and a stint with Bache Securities and
embarked on a career in furniture with Burlington Industries.
Operating from a home-base in Wilkes-Barre, he became
entranced with Town & Country Furniture on South Main
Street. Owning the store became his goal. When it came up
for sale four years ago, he bought it “lock, stock and barrel.”
Town & Country has always enjoyed an excellent
reputation, Hoffman said. “We have built on that and have

come a long way—totallyrenovating three of the store s five
floors. He is computerizing all his business, including inventory. He expects to see sophisticated room-planning and
computer-aided design in his store soon, along with a new
Henrcdon computer system whichillustratesfumitureframeworkandaddsfabricsothecustomercanseeexactlywhatthe
piece will look like.
“Furniture is a constant challenge, especially in a highend store that’s a trend setter,” he said. “We’re not expensive.
We sell a better product with value oriented pricing.”
“People buy furniture eclectically,” he said. "Virtually
anything goes if it s put together by the right designer, he
said, adding that Town & Country' has several designers on
staff, among them his wife, Janet, who also attended Wilkes.
Wilkes offered Hoffman some of his most important
insights into operating a business. He served as social event
chairman forstudentgovemmentandisproudof the tradition
he started of offering concerts that made money: The Classics
Four, Jay and the Americans and Country Joe and the Fish.
Hoffman didn't like Country Joe, especially when he tried to
cancel out of the concert, but Hoffman chose the group
because that’s what other students wanted.
“I had a ball at Wilkes," said Hoffman, who majored in
business administration. “1 got a good education and fairly
good grades. As I got into the major, my grades got better.”
More important, he said, “Wilkes taught me how to
think — to be my own person, to solve problems and to set
priorities. Il was a real education. I learned how to do things
on my own and to depend on myself.”
Finishing Wilkes in 1970, he started working with

Bache Securities in the coupon department. By the time he
left Bache, he was in charge of overnight loans, controlling
the lock box with negotiable securities.
Now a major in the Army Reserves, Hoffman was a
brand new second lieutenant when he was called to active
duty June 23, 1972 — when the rampaging Susquehanna
began threatening the entire Wyoming Valley. “Talk about
scary. We were working on that dike and it started leaking
underneath us.”
Hoffman enjoyed the Reserves, but has become inaclive because he works seven days a week.

Getting
to work
Career Center helps students plan life after Wilkes
Careers Services is like a broker, matching students
with jobs, said Director Gene Domzalski.
Working with students throughout their four years on
campus^ he tries to teach them to develop the strategies “to
lake care of their careers for the rest of their lives.”
The worst thing a student can do is to wait until the final
term of senior year and schedule a five-minute visit with the
career center, “expecting magic,” Domzalski said.
“There are people going through school who aren’t into
careers,” he said. “They want to do well in school and expect
a career to take care of itself. The more mature student is
looking ahead. They get involved in the planning process.”
From the earliest days on campus, students are encouraged to visit the office, explore careers through the SIGI Plus
computer system, make contacts with alumni already working in the student’s prospective career field and use printed
resources to find out about career opportunities.
All these services, and a wealth of contacts in the
business world, have developed over the years since John
Chwalek initiated the service in 1947. Although Chwalek
now works as assistant dean of admissions, his long-time sec
retary Regina Meschini still greets students and
handles records for the office.
In a routine survey of 1988
graduates, 79 per cent of the
460 students earning under
graduate degrees re
sponded, indicating
that 79 per cent were
employed full-time and
another 15 per cent

academic units: the School of Business,

the 1986 restructure.
The move to University status was not
done without consulting the backbone
of Wilkes, its students and alumni. A
random survey of alumni questioned
how the change might affect their loy
alty to Wilkes. That survey was very
positive with a large segment of the
alumni favoring the change. Said one
graduate: “Wilkes must be allowed to
grow. To prevent Wilkes College from
changing to Wilkes University would
be like denying one’s child the opportu
nity to graduate from high school.”

Germany: Students' Vi
By Diane Seo
Times Leader Staff Writer
In addition to chipping chunks of the
Berlin Wall, 10 Wilkes University stu
dents who recently traveled to Germany
witnessed a government protest involv
ing 30,000 angry citizens and intro
duced two East German border guards
to McDonald’s Big Macs.
It was the first time any of the stu
dents had been in Europe, and as sopho
more James Clark explained, “It was
our first contact with communism.”
Led by Wilkes communication professorThomas Nelson, the students in a

eled to such cities as East and West
Berlin, Regensburg, Heidelberg, Mu
nich and Dachau for three weeks over
Christmas break.
While in East Berlin, the students
watched an angry demonstration erupt
against the secret police.
They were shouting, “Stasi Raus” or
“get the police out,” Nelson said.
Clark said the people were protesting against the government’s attempt to
reassemble the secret police after the
departure of hard-line CommunistPary
chief Erich Honecker.
“The protest is on my list of the top
ten events of my life,” Nelson said. “I
was absolutely pumped. In Berlin, if
you step out of the door, you arc at the
vortex of world events.”
On a different occasion, a few students began conversing with two East
Berlin patrol guards while chipping
away at the Berlin Wall.

“We started talking to
them about
politics and we asked them about their

Celebrating Wilkes: the John Wilkes Club dinner
More than 175 people were on hand to
celebrate the University' at the John Wilkes Club
dinner this winter.
The annual event honors benefactors who
contribute SI,000 or more annually.
Joseph J. Pinola '49, honorary chairman
of the Wilkes Tomorrow campaign, gave the group
cause to celebrate when he announced that the
campaign now tops S18 million, makingitthemost
successful fund raising campaign in the 57-year
history' of Wilkes.

Thanksgiving Dinner is
sponsored by the Interna

Top business leaders from Japan and Northeastern
Pennsylvania businesses laid the groundwork for closer
relationships at the “Japan and Northeast Pennsylvania
in the 1990’s” conference at Wilkes in October.
The session was designed as a starting point for a
dialogue between leaders from the Greater WilkesBarre area and Japanese business executives and gov
ernment officials posted in New York City.
Current trends in U.S. - Japan relationships were
examined in the major address by the Honorable Hiroshi
Yokokawa, deputy consul general in the Consulate
General of Japan.
Masaharu Masuyama, deputy general manager of
Mitsubishi International Corporation, discussed export
ing to Japan and other foreign markets.
Other presenters were Kitaru Sato, senior vice
president and corporate secretary, Marubeni America
Corporation, on patterns and growth points of Japanese
business in the United States; David MacEachron, advi
sor to the board of The Japan Society, on avenues lor
developing new relationships between Japan and
Northeast Pennsylvania; Kazuhiko Takatsu, director of
public affairs of the Japan External Trade Organization,
on trade patterns, and Stephen Barrouk, President of die
Greater Wilkes-Barre Partnership, on economic trends
and prospects,
Although Japan has ties to business and industry in
Pennsylvania, the northeast quadrant has had liule or no
significant interaction with major Japanese business
leaders. The conference was designed to change that
lack of interaction into increased communication be
tween Japan and Northeast Pennsylvania.
Other conference participants include Congressman
Paul Kanjorski, Democrat, 11 th Congressional District;
Richard Ross, chairman of lite board and chief executive
officer of First Eastern Corporation and William W.
Scranton, former Governor of Pennsylvania.
George Waldner, Vice President for Academic Affairs
at Wilkes University, served as conference chairman.
Wilkes will provide follow- up and non-credit courses on
Japan. Wilkes is also working on an exchange program
with a Japanese University for students and teachers.

L
Prc-Mcd Day, 1989, was once
again “a beginning point” for hundreds
of high school juniors and seniors who
arc considering careers in medicine.
Medicine is “one of the most
challenging and demanding but also
one of the most uplifting careers in the
human family,” said Wilkes President
Christopher N. Breiseth in the opening
remarks.
That concept was illustrated
with personal examples from Wilkes
faculty, students and physician alumni.
Keynoter Robert Brown, M.D.,
traced the history of two new, highvisibility diseases: AIDS and Lyme
disease. Using his keynote address to
inform future colleagues about the two
diseases, he also took the opportunity to
urge the young adult audience to mod
ify their social behavior to prevent
contracting AIDS.
“AIDS is actually the end stage
of HIV infection,” said Brown, an au
thority on the disease. “Once infected
with HIV, if you live long enough, you
will get AIDS.”
“It’s not real easy to get this
disease,” he told the assembled stu
dents. “If you develop a monogamous
relationship and don’t abuse IV drugs,
you arc not at much risk.”
Citing Center for Disease Control data, Brown said there have been
102,000 cases reported with 50,000
deaths. “I don’t foresee a cure in the
near future if ever. The real hope is a
vaccine and that’s still a way off...”
Hospital personnel have now

Of getting AIDS front an infected needle
or scalpel are only 6 in a 1,000. he said,
"but if you gel it, it’s 100% and it
doesn’t matter that the chances were

Walter H. Sauvain
Nascent Bucknell University Junior College survived because of the untiring
efforts of many dedicated educators who went the extra mile. Among them in those
days of long ago was Dr. Walter H. Sauvain, Emeritus Professor of Education at
Bucknell University.
It was Walter Sauvain who for many years in the late Thirties and early Forties
taught the necessary courses in education and who gave good guidance and encour
agement to aspiring teachers at BUJC, as well as on the Main Campus. Without
the formal structure of a Department of Education at BUJC, Walter Sauvain and
several teachers of the Wilkes-Barre Area School District managed to prepare
students who then went on to continue their educations elsewhere.
Walter Sauvain, alone or with other professors from the Main Campus, made
the trip from Lewisburg to Wilkes-Barre, roundtrip, several times a week to meet
the classes at BUJC. The last time Walter was on the Wilkes campus was for the
celebration of the Fiftieth Anniversary' of Wilkes College in 1983.
Walter Sauvain graduated from the University of North Dakota and took his
graduate degrees at Columbia University. He joined the faculty of Bucknell in
1936. He served several terms as Chairman of the Department of Education. He
also took his turn at being Director of Extension as well as Director of Summer
School on the Main Campus.
At various times in his long career, Waller was President of the Pennsylvania
Higher Education Association, ofPennsylvania’s Liberal Arts Association forthe
Advancement of Teaching, as well as of the Pennsylvania Institutional Teacher
Placement Association. In 1968, he was awarded the Brother Azarins Plaque for
“Outstanding Contributions to Teacher Education in Pennsylvania.”
In addition to his professional life Walter Sauvain participated in many phases
of community life in Lewisburg. He was a Ruling Elder of the First Presbyterian
ChurchofLewisburg.andamemberofthcchoir.rightupuntflthe timeofhis death.
He contributed more titan two thousand hours ofvolunteer service to the Evangeli
cal Community Hospital ofLewisburg. Walter was an expert philatelist, a master
bridge player, and an accomplished raconteur who was frequently in demand as an
after dinner speaker.
On the morning of July 11,1989, Walter was involved in an automobile accident
in Lewisburg. Whether the accident was caused by a stroke or whether a stroke
caused the accident is not clear; however. Waller died shortly thereafter, at the age
of eighty-five.
His was a life of good will and service.
