T oring t rhe vi s Colo fan i f fi nal -9 pite the rainy s outside, a record gathered last Friday at Center to get a idea of what the future ce.. isno business in the t now, Marty ovitz, president of Interactive Media told high schools. However, he assured students that it will form the basis of the new media. Currently, only one out of every ten households is connected to the Internet. "We should be talk'.ing to the nine out of ten that do ._not care," Yudkovitz said. The key to reaching a larger audience, according to him, is to give people better value for their time. With the current state of the Internet, first -time users usually have a reaction of great disappointment. "It's simply too slow, and it's boring, it 's frustrating," Yudkovitz explained. His solution is to make the Internet faster, easier to use, and more worthwhile. The first thing he would change, is the "http://" that begins every web site's address. "Make it go away!" he complained. Next, he would make sure that people were not wasting their time on worthless clutter. "If we are going to take your time, there had better be value there, " he added. Although he sees the Internet as the new medium of the next century, he does not see it as a r~placement for _the existing media of television and radio. Television will remain popular for two reasons, Yudkovitz said . First, television is a group activity; whereas, using a personal computer is usually done alone. Also, people look forward to certain television sh_ows airing at certain times. The Internet could be the gre1tt enhancement to radio, Yudkovitz said. People would be able to tune in stations from around the world instead of being limited to stations on the local dial. Yudkovitz also had some good advice for the future journalists, who seemed overwhelmed by this new media technology. "Speed, ,simplicity, and selfconfidence," he stated. "Don't talk about megabytes. Bring it down to simplicity." · The most important thing to have is a positive attitude, Yudkovitz said. Be dedicated and passionate about your work, and focus on getting along with other people .And, don't be affraid to start at the bottom. As he put it, "get in the door." revitalized Wilkes-Barre in the works GBURNS, ESCHEMBARI KEITH PACYNA youwalk through the wn you cannot help C' the wear and tear buildings.

According to officials, neighborhood watches have been in place for a few years and residents are more committed to taking their city back. Also, the city has added more patrols throughout th~ night, which is when the crime rate rises. On e member of the audience commented, "this is · a great town. It has a lot of potential." When speakers were confronted with the question of why it has not worked yet, in reference to Sterling Hall, the r.esponse was that the peopl e are not comfortable enough with the investment. This city can once again be prosperous. with investment, time and downtown housing renovations, people will move in and business will prosper. L.. �~ ~-- 1 l' i!WS Page ·2 The Beacon Wilkes and -King's join to offer students a broader course selection B y R O B BOZZO NETTI E R T Special ro rhe Beacon Each year Wilkes University and King' sCollege enj oy a healthy ri valry in sports, student recruitment and academic experience. In contrast, both schools take part in a reci proc--al academic relationship in which they agree to share certain resources,and namely course offerings. The purpose of the agreement is to broaden students' options. For example , if a Wilkes student needs to take a course that is not being offered here, he or she may take it at King's and the credits will transfer and be added to their transcripts . The reciprocal relationship began in 1980 and each year it has been reviewed to make sure it is mL1tually beneficial for both schools. Furthermore, student reaction has been very positive, with one exception being complaints of conflicting semester schedules between the two s~hools. However, according to Dr. Jack Meyers, Wilkes Registrar, the cont1ict is being worked out for the spring semes ter. Meyers also explained that courses in business, dance and art departments are what attract King 's students to Wilkes. In fact, Professor Richard Fuller, the chai,man of Wilkes' art department, pointed out that a few King's -students actually fulfilled their major in art at Wilkes since there is no degree in this subject offered at King's. Professor Fuller added that many King's students easily assimilate to their new surroundings at Wilkes. Concerning how Wilkes students take advantage of this -arrangement, Dr. John Natzke, a professor of Socio! o gy , explained that approximately 12 · Wilkes students take criminal justice courses at King 's each semc'ster. Often these students arc sociology majors who wish to pursue a career in law enforcement. One Wilkes alumnus who made use of the Wilkes-King's aii-angern.ent in criminal justice was Paul Middleton who graduated in 1990. He is now a Sergeant in the Wilkes-BalTe Police Department. In regard to the arrangement between Wilkes and King 's, Professor Natzke claims, "It is the most s uccessful endeavor I've witnessed in this department in a long time." The ari-angement has in fact proved so successful that an identical relationship with College Misericordia will begin next year. Finally, in addition to Sergeant Middleton and many others, I have also taken advantage of the academic relationship between our school and King's and have benefited by being abk to pursue a minor in criminal justice, a field or study that has interested me for a long time but that is not being offered at Wilkes. Anyone interested in this opportunity to broaden their area or study, avoid schedule cont1icts. or increase their course options should contact the registrar for further information.

We _ha ve a brand new classroom office buildi ng and hopes, in_the future, for a new bookstore. The proposed downtown bookstor, is still up in the air. Wilkes, Kings and other organizations had a meeting on Wednesday, November 11 regarding the future of the joint bookstore. Paul O'Hop said, "more study is needed for this project." The extension of the greenway , a.k.a. The Fenner Qu1drangle, is another project that the university is currently involved in. A-II or th e sidewalks are in and hopefully, will be leveled out by next week. The Fenner Quadrangle .will also include n new fl ag pole and sun dial that will be added in the near future. The new grass probably won't be added until the spring. The grand opening for the pharmacy program was held on Sunday, November 3. Paul O' Hop commented that 400 people attended and they were impressed with the facilities. Hopefully , we will see other projects ocurring in Wilkes' future, but for now Wilkes is continuing to serve its students the best wa-y it knows how, by giving them the bes t facilities possible. l'cor 3S I - AMP ■ WRY ■ MIKAN B ■ s I S ■ N ERO 'o'A 'ij SI D L E• p T A• 's'Ew DA R K ■ A WE FR IN GE • M OR ASS L I N K IAPPLEPIE THE CINE ED GE TAG s WE ST _._._ ■■ 's'1ol HELP WAN ,= = ~ - ~ ; ~ - -EBJf:.

Boy, was I hungry. and boy, was I in a hun-y. In a hurry because I had to go somewhere, sure, but more in a hurry because I only had three minutes to get something to eat. Did I get something to eat in time to use my meal card? Sure. Was it worth the aggravation, watching four out of five workers sweep the floor while only one served the customers? Hell no. I mean, what were they doing, preparing for the evening rush? Guess so ... I reaHy don't haye much to talk about this week, and the fact that I have to get this article to The Beacon office in like two seconds doesn ' t really give me much time to think of a topic. If there's one thing worse than not having an idea, it's not having enough time to have one. Sound familiar? I think everyone is suffering a case of the end-of-the-semester blues. Someone actually told me that they couldn't wait for Christmas to get here. I agree only if I can skip the next month of work it takes to get to Christmas. Those of you that are gearing up for the holidays better just calm down, 'cause they're a lot farther away than you r:ealize. The next four weeks won't be full of Christmas cheer. They'll be full of people walking around like zombies, with coffee flowing through their veins instead of blood. You all know what I'm talking about. I was -up all night last night, and it's only the second week of November. It makes me want to cry, but at least I'll only have to put up with it for a little while longer. It's worth it, too .. .I'll be able to get my $80,000 piece of paper at the end of the year. For all you freshman out there·, either looking fcrward to or dreading the next three or four years, keep the faith. It's more good than bad. But make no mistake, it's hard. Is all the work worth it? The only person that can really answer that question is you. I think it is, but the only people that seem to give a damn about what I think are my friends and the people at Commonwealth (oops ... better strike that one from the record). Well , friends and neighbors , I have to cut you loose for now . You see, I have to go do about a thousand things if there's any hope of getting drunk tonight. Sorry if the article was a little seri ous, compared to last week's. . Things will get back on track next week, I assure you. It's just that I'm already late, and I'm so damn tired. Keep your chin up, people. We'll be able to eat some turkey soon. (I won ' t say anything about the week of turkey sandwiches afterwards.) Have a good week, and we' ll talk again soon.

They are also a means of gaining experience in the professional world. According to Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chair of the Communications Department, "Internships give you hands-on experience and they also allow you to see the professional world." In some instances internships could evenhelpstudentsgetjobsafter graduation. Professor Tom Bigler, before joining the Wilkes Communication Department, served as News Director at WBRE -TV 28 for 20 years. Bigler advises all of his students to take internships. "Take internships_and do as well as you can. At channel 28, an intern was there when a job opened up. They were in the right place atthe righttime, we knew the intern could do the job and they became our top candidate." Kevin was one of fouJ communications majors to internoverthesummerof1996. He interned with the Human Resources Department at Sears in the Frackville Mall. His main purpose for interning was to develop interpersonal and organizational skills. Kevin assisted the Director of Human Services in initial interviewing for the hiring process. He also had a hand in orientation training for new employees. Kevin attended weekly staff meetings and did on the job training with the Human Resource Manager. He was introduced to some of the payroll functions at Sears, and was shown how to fill out a 45/45A, an unemployment form. Kevin learned many newbusinessconceptsduring his internship.

Holyfi eld entered the fight as a heavy underdog, at one point the odds were 24-1 against him. Holyfield was considered old, somewhat ironic in a in which George Foreman is still racking up wins. Holyfield's last three bouts, against much weaker competition, were not very impressive. There were questions about his heart, which cardiologists had said would force him into retirement until he was "healed" by prayer. Holyfield answered all the questions with authority and silenced the so-called experts who had predicted another Tyson slugfest. Tyson versus Holyfield was supposed to be the fight of the decade a few years ago before Tyson was imprisoned for rape. Many people had wond if Tyson would ~e the same fighter when he came back to the ring last year.

Wilkes University has sponsored several opportuniti~s for students to pick up literature on registering. On Monday, Nov. 4, a political rally was held at noon on Chase Lawn, organized by Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall' s Persuasion class, which drew an approximate total of 100 to 200 students. Red and blue ribbons were distributed to remind students to vote, and literature on Voting procedures was also available. Sarah Stone, .one of the organizers and speakers of the rally, was disappointed by the turnout. "It really didn't go as well as we'd hoped, although holding it at lunch time probably had a lot to do with it," she said. "The students who were really interested in the election were obviously sincere about their right to vote."

Special to the Beacon . Whatever you do, don't call him president of , the MSNBC. That isn ' t his title and even though he works for a top news agency, he is not a journalist. However, if you ever get the chance to talk to Marty Yudkoyitz, feel free to ask about Bill Gates because he enjoys talking about Bill Gates. Why? Because Marty Yudkovitz is the president of NBC's Interactive Media, an historic collaboration with Microsoft, MSNBC. Marty Yudkovitz will be on the Wilkes University campus November 8, 1996, to be the keynote speaker at the !"Ourth annual High School Journalism Conference, sponsored by the Wilkes Department of ·Communications. Yudkovitz will address over 200 high school students on the future of interactive media and the news at the conference luncheon, located in Rumours in the lower level of Marts Center of the Wilkes cam pus. Yudkovitz, a native of Kingston and graduate of Wyoming Valle y West High School, says his interest in media began while he was a regular contributor to his high school newspaper and other high school publications. He was editor in chief of the "72 Spartan " WVW ' s award winning yearbook. After graduation, Yudkovitz attended Rutgers University, where he served as president of "The Daily Targum ," the university's daily newspaper. Following graduation from law school at Columbia University, Yudkovitz became an associate with the New York law firm of Kelley, Drye and department where he was responsible for corporate and contract work, ranging from NBC's satellit© unit to "Saturday Night Live." Yudkovitz moved from his role as vice president for Business Affairs, for the network's 1992 Barcelona Olympics project to become NBC's Senior Vice President for Strategic Development. Several projects he helped develop in this role were the firstseedsofNBC'sinteractive Media business. Presently, :titBC Interactive Media is seen in 20 million homes and is expected to be in 50 million homes in the next five years. Yudkovitz is quick to make it clear that this venture was not his idea alone, but a collaborative one. As president of NBC's Interactive media, he now directs all of NBC's major business initiatives related to the internet, interactive television, CD-ROMS and other "new media ." Planning the future of the national network technology is a real challenge for Yudkovitz. He was a primary architect for the NBC-Microsoft Strategic Alliance and later MSNBC Cable Channel and the MSNBC Internet Interactive News service deal. That is until NBC convinced them to get involved. Thinking ahead is often a matter of going out on a limb, of taking tremendous risks. According to Yudkovitz, "the task at hand for both NBC and Microsoft is to think beyond their own industries. This is an extremely risky endeavor. It could fail for any number of reasons, especially since this is a rapidly shifting industry. But, we established our " brand" When asked about the impact interactive media will have on the way the public receives information in the future, Yudkovitz replied that one can't look at any given news service as helping or hurting. It is what the people decide to do with that service that matters . "The internet contains information ranging from sports scores to sto'ck quotes, from pornography to government directories. What matters is not what or how much information is available, but rather how people decide to use th'at information. Presently, we have an internet page dedicated to the elections, 'Decision '96.' It contains every bit of information conceivable concerning the election, and it is very helpful ifpeopleuseit.Ifinsteadthey look at the sports pages, 'Decision 96' won't help." Clearly, Marty Yudkovitz enjoysthechallengeofstarting a new business venture. "Nothing is more exciting than working with a blank slate and making your own rules. It is the scariest, and at the same time, the most invigorating experience," said Yudkovitz. NBC's Interactive ·Media is much more complex than the average person may see. To those on the outside of the industry, it appears to be an organized, cutting edge news medium that is taking the lead in news presentation for the . future. Pay attention because if everything goes according to MaryYudkovitz' splan,NBC's _Interactive Media will not only set the precedent in this area, but will stay at the top.

Box 0887, Miami, FL 33164 �Page 4 EDITORIAL PAGE A roach with an attitude < I For a good 45 minutes I sat in front of a blank computer screen racking my brain as what to write this week. I figured I could remind everyone that Monday, November J 1 is Veteran' s Day, where we honor all who have fought for the U.S. Then I thought about friendships, good-byes and other sappy thoughts which I wasn't in the mood to discuss. Concentrating a bit more, which nowadays seems to be a chore, I remembered a vivid image from the cafeteria, which has yet to leave my mind. While sitting eating dinner with my ever so cool friends, I looked at the wall beside me only to see a cockroach that would strike fear in the hearts of the most courageous big-game hunters. Later the next day, his twin brother was seen running ragged across the opposite side of the cafe. There is no doubt in my mind that the remaining roach clan isn ' t too far behind. What a nice way to spend a pleasant dinner at the Wilkes cafe. I'm sure that every institution has problems with bugs, to put it gently, but in our eating space ...that is just disgusting. And what about those who live in Pickering? You know there's something seriously wrong when the boys of Pickering are complaining about bugs. The issue can only be avoided fqr so long. What does it take to stop this problem? Rumor has it that a student in the last few years jarred a few of these lovely creatures making sure the administration knew exactly what was going on. The bugs are back and students demand answers. As student's we cannot cower in the cafeteria corners and allow the roaches to overthrow our "beloved'; and wellfinanced institution. Let this serve as a clarion call for student's across Wilkes campus - speak out, don' t freak out! We just rocked the vote, now rock the roach. November 7, 199 .

I still do at times, but only when I'm driving my favorite car .... someone else's. Lately my own car has developed some rather disconcerting habits aimed, I think, at the notion that it's had about enough of this, thank you very much. With the odometer pushing the 87,000 mile mark, my 12 year old Buick Regal (only Wp of the line for me) is not quite as subtle as it used to be when it came to complaining about something. It's even taken to spitting oil back at me when I administer it's biweekly feedings . Ingrate. Coaxing it into life every morning has become a challenge of somewhat Biblical proportions. When the wind is right, neighbors for miles around can hear the dulcet tones of my gentle chiding . When it finally roars into consciousness, grown men cross themselves and stare fearfully at the sky, while mothers clutch their children to their breasts and mutter unintelligible prayers. Because I pride myself on being the sensitive type, I know it only took six or seven months of this untoward behavior for me to realize the seriousness of the situation. Besides, my seventeen year old daughter had the bad taste to, first, actually get her driver's license, and, second, belong to a high school swim team that has 5 a.m. training sessions three times a week. All winter. So, brimming with the anticipation I usually reserve for final exams and the thought of ever becoming pregnant again, I quietly slunk through a couple of the local car lots in pursuit of the real American Dream - a ~ar that will run for more than a week without a visit to the nearest mechanic. . While the intent of actually slinking, unnoticed,through a car lot was a noble one, the reality of the experience was the type of rude awakening usually reserved for people who unwittingly stumble into the charming presence of Texas border guards. As soon as my foot hit the ground in the first lot, a platoon of salesmen started power walking in my direction, each trying to outdo the others in their effort to appear as if they were merely out taking their morning constitutional. When a clear winner was determined, the others peeled out of formation as quickly as a Vietnam jet pilot on a successful bombing run and went back to polishing car windshields with the sleeves of their suit jackets and staring longingly at the entrance. While "Happy Stan the Used Car Man" proceeded to guide me around the lot, t1ashing an impossibly hearty smile (that never quite made it past the quiet desperation in his eyes), my two boys, who are unusually studious and we·ll trained individuals , proceeded into the back of the nearest pickup in order to test the limits of its shock absorbers. After whiling away and hour or two listening to the scintillating merits of each and every new and used car on the lot (in various states of disrepair), I broke fre e of my cheery, heavily sweating gm·de . I had his most sincere offer of a deal I couldn't possibl y refuse - as long as it was made by the end of the m_onth . This deal was deperi.dent, of course, on the prerequisite donation of my first born male child (tempting), and a quart or two of whole blood BEFORE the cr~dit check, \~hich sho uld send them into such prolonged gales of laughter that hospitalization may be required for those with weak hearts. As we chugged away from the second lot, my daughter was clutching a CD from one of the salesmen who claimed to be on the best of terms with one of her favorite rock stars - \vhich naturally explains HIS career decision. And location. The third lot was a bit of a joke because even the used cars were about the same price as a small house in this -area, but test driving a car that actually moved when I stepped on the gas was a thrilling experience for us. I only hope they can get the chocolate stains out of that upholstery. Once you announce your decision to purchase a new (OK- someone else's) car, e\'eryone you never wanted to know will come out of the woodwork and offer you something, sight unseen. for an unbelievably low price just because they' re friends with your third cousins d~\'orced wife's old classmate from .Public School 154 in New York. Sure thing. Where do I sign? While the pickins' are scarce right now due to the laughable state of my financial affairs, I'm fully confidant that the right c_ar wil_l eventually appear at my door. You know .. . like most husbands and stray cats do. It better hurry, though. Those early mornings are killing me. - ~;;iii be-af;.b~s"°;po~~;;dbyStude~tGo';e-;;~;;t-;;;d-the~he";r"ie;ck;; fo-; th; Wilke;;;.-Ly~;;;hlg \ ootball game on November 16, free of charge.

When asked if he expected anything before starting his internship Noone said, "I tried riot to expect anything, I wanted to go into this internship as open minded as possible." When talking about Conyers, Noone had nothing but praise for the Congressman. Noone feels that regardless of Conyers' age, he relates very well to the younger generation. "Congressman Conyers still goes back to his district every weekend to maintain his contacts. Also, what helps him relate to the younger generation is that he has a very young staff and the people of his district are relatively young," stated Noone. During the seven week internship, Noone spent much of his time working in the Press Secretary's Office. "I did a lot of press releases. I wrote 'them and then they were distributed." Noone also worked a lot of press conferences, helping prepare materials for distribution. One of his obligations was to attend all committee hearings and to help when needed. Noone stated that the internship took up a lot of time, about 35 hours a week. He also had to attend two classes at Georgetown University as another part of his internship. The classes were part of the Institute of Political Journalism. Noone also had the opportunity to be around other prominent political figures and journalists like Anne Richards-, former governor of Texas, ABC's Brit Hume and also NBC's Brian Williams . He met Richards, Hume and Williams while attending seminars at the National Press Club as part of the two classes he was taking this summer. Before taking this internship, Noone was undecided whether to go to law school or to pursue a career in the communications field. After the internship, Noone feels that law school is the best decision for him. "I always was interested in law. I feel the education that I will get in law school is the best preparation for any careerin public policy.'' Noone said of his experience in Washington, "everyone was extremely nice an,d very helpful." He was made aware of this internship through Professor Dana Alexander Nolfe of the communication~ department. Noone has taken many things from this internship, one is that he does not agree with the feelings of a lot of people towards politicians. "Working in Cortgress, you get a better appreciation of how difficult it is and all the work these people really do. They put forth tremendous effort and many long hours. I think it is unfortunate how people feel. These people have the constituents' best interest in mind at all times," stated Noone. However, the most important aspect is that this experience reaffirmed many decisions he was unsure of. Noone now plans to attend law school upon graduating from Wilkes. After his summer experience, why not? He had an internship that opened many doors to him and, he got to see the operation of Congress from the other side of the door. something many people never get to take part in. ston to London: opportunities are endless 'tit be nice to go country,meetnew their working trategies and gain c and work Dixon, a senior major with a on in marketing opportunity last explore London, Dixon went abroad ·sing/marketing and to also take international do · an internship.

By STEVE ROTH Beacon Staff Writer The Wilkes field hockey team fought a cold wind, a tough Lebanon Valley team and a 1-0 deficit as long as time would allow them, until it finally ran out. In suffering the heartbreaking loss, the Lady Colonels were defeated by the Flying Dutchmen for the second straight year in the MAC Semi-fi nals. "We had our shots, but we just couldn't put them in," said coach Addy Malatesta. "Their goalkeeper (Joanna Bates) came up big and their defense did a good job shutting clown Carrie (Chipego )." The only goal of the game was scored at the 7:09 mark in the first half when ijrin Schmid redirected a shot from Casey Iezzi off a penalty corner. "It was a legitimate goal. We had them marked up well and Tracy (Engle) was in good position in goal," said Malatesta. Wilkes and Lebanon Valley are no strangers to one another. In the 1994 MAC Semis, Kim Kaskel and Carrie Chipego combined for four second half goals to defeat the Flying Dutchmen 4-3. Last season in the same scenario, Lebanon Valley eliminated Wilkes from the MAC Championship tournament with a 2-1 win. Earlier this season, the Flying Dutchmen defeated the Lady Colonels 2-1 in overtime. The Wilkes/Lebanon Valley match-up has turned into an MAC rivalry over the past few seasons and last Thursday ' s game lived up to the competitive nature of the rivalry. The Flying Dutchmen dominated the first five minutes of play by obtaining six penalty corner opportunities. But a strong Wilkes defense led by goalie Tracy Engle killed each one of them. Midway through the first half, Wilkes would display some•offensive dominance as well, by earning three penalty comers in just three minutes. And just as Wilkes did, the Lebanon Valley defense and goalie Joanna Bates, who has 10 sh utouts on the season, stopped the offensive attack. Bates denied a long shot by Jeannette Uhl and consecutive shots by Sara Clause and Tonya Masenheimer. Following the Lebanon Valley goal, the game was a . back and forth struggle for both teams, as each squad played solid defense. Both teams matched up well. Wilkes was only outshot 1716 and Engle recorded 14 saves to Bates' 12. But, the contras t was in the penalty comer department, where the Lady Colonels had only six to Lebanon Valley's 17. It's only ironic that Lebanon Valley would score off a penalty corner. Despite the difficult loss, the Lady Colonels were rewarded on Monday for their tough schedule and 11-1 record by be_ing selected host this weekend's E Mid-Atlantic Champio tournament at Artillery in Kingston. Wilkes will face C of Notre Dame, from Baltimore, at 11 a.m. on Saturday in a first roun~ contest, which will be followed by another frrg round game featuring C Misericordia against Gettysburg at 1 p.m. The first round wi will square off in the championship game on Sunday at noon.

As this .season opens up, there are old faces in new places, high priced nts, off court antics and a little basketball, too. · · dlining the list of high profile acquisitions are Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal. prominent all-stars are both on high profi'le teams trying to regain lost glory. Houston Rockets traded away a good portion oi' their back-to-back championship mtwo years ago for the 33-year-old Dream Teamer in an attempt to contend with the Supersonics and Utah Jazz for supremacy in the west. Barkley was more than ready to. Phoenix after failing to lead the Suns to the title and nearing the end of his ionshipless career. Time is running out for Barkley, who has been bothered by back sbut does not want to retire until making one last run at the NBA title. Playing on the team as perennial superstars Hakeem Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler may give Barkley his hance to make his career complete. quille O'Neal, on the other hand, followed the free agency money to Los Angeles so kcould be the biggest athlete in a town full of big stars.

Jackson deserves Coach of the Year honors if he is able to keep Rodman on basketball and not preoccupied with piercing something, thumbing his nose at the ,manying himself or becoming the next RuPaul. When temperamental players such as Pippen and Toni Kukoc are thrown into the mix it becomes apparent that the toughest nts the Bulls will have to face on their way to another title may be themselves. ith all of the off season changes that have taken place in the NB A and the unpredictable alities of its superstars one thing is clear about the 50th season - it is going to be very # By TOM McGUIRE Wilkes Sports In.formation Director By TOM McGUIRE Wilkes Sports Information Director The Wilkes women ' s soccer team tied Beaver College in its final game of the season last week.

The university was involved in negotiations to aquire adjunct property that would permit access through the mid-center block area. "The sidewalks and grass," O'Hop said, "were intentionally put down topreventpeoplefrom walking through mud. It wasn't meant to be permanent," Bob Saffian, staff architect, said the drawings of The Greenway (a.k.a . the Fenner Quadrangle), weren't available when COB was completed in September, 1995. The temporary accomodations were installed with the knowledge that it would all have to be dug up again, in order to level off the dips and rises in the ground and correct the drainage structure. Saffian said the additional time was useful to see in which directions the students walked.

According to Paul O'Hop, Learning Center and the Classroom/ Office Building (COB) appeared to be complete; however, it was only a ® the walkways," he said. The extra construction has brought up the questions of extra cost. Capital monies from bond issues, which can only be·used for capital purposes, is how all construction on campus, including the new student center, is being paid for. The exact figures for the total cost of just the Greenway were not readily available, but Saffian estimated that the price ranges somewhere between $100,000 and $200,000. The replaced walkway is approximately two pcru:11t of the entire cost. O'Hop said that the base of the ripped up sidewalk is already in place so the only purchase and installment cost is cement. Whatever can be utilized again will be, such as the top soil. The Fenner Quadrangle, is intend.e d to be a place for students to call theirown. O'Hop anticipates the "quad" to be used for picnics, playing games, such as football and frisbee, and eventually the addition of a plaza for an outdoor theatre. Presently, an ellipse area is being built to provide a place for a flagpole. In the spring the planned arboretum, native trees, plants and flower gardens, will be planted. A site has also been designated for the placement of a sundial that was donated by the family of the late Thomas Kiley, former member of the board of trustees and former chairman: O'Hop is assured that the result is worth the wait. " It is going to be beautiful when it's completed." Saffian agreed with O'Hop , "It's great being apart of helping shape Wilkes for the future."

"We need to encourage a wider, more di verse group of people to get involved and tell us what they think for the future of this country to survive and prosper." The Community Voices Caucus does not establish ari agenda for the participants. It is not sponsored by a community or professional interest. And it does not invite speakers or panelists to make presentations. Nearly two hundred individuals have taken part and organizers hope the caucuses end with the largest crowd to date.

Wilkes has Leader joined in the post been doing its part in debate discussion to learn what first time voters thought. Many students agreed that SenatorDole'sperfo1mancewas better than the first debate. However, the majority of students did not find Dole convincing enough to vote for him. They felt that he avoided talking to young voters, like college students. President Clinton, on the other hand, :was more successful in addressing his _stand on issues toward college students. "I liked how Clinton spoke of more job opportunities, and how the percentage of job opportunities have increased since he was elected and would continue to grow if he was reelected. Since I am going to be entering the working field soon, it is good to know that someone is making an effort for the 21st century," said Boo Perry, a senior communications major. It is true that many people, specifically, college students are concerned about job opportunities because they keep hearing about unemployment rates increasing. Many students expressed concern about job opportunities when they leave college. Job opportunities were not the only issue that was important to students. To some, it was the environment, taxes, foreign relations and many other issues that the government plays an important role in. Nicole Depew, a sophomore nursing major felt, "managed health care quality concerns me most-I don't believe America has the best health care system ever, as stated by Dole.

Next Tuesday, November 5, 1996, is the day we, as Americans, will go to the polls to elect the last president of the 20th century and the first president of the 21st century. Who will it be? Who will we vote for? Will you vote at all ? Voting is a very sensitive subject amongst 18-21 year-olds these days. As of the 1992 election, only 18% of eligible voters aging from 18-21 years-old voted. Statistics show that these numbers are continually dropping. What is the problem? Two words - apathy and cynicism. Most people don't care. And even if they do care, they don't believe they can make the difference. That's where they're wrong. If you think your vote doesn't count and then you don't vote, obviously your vote didn't count. But if you do vote, at least your voice will be heard. It's as simple as pulling a lever to the name you want. Everyone has something negative to say when things go wrong. And when they do, a finger is always pointed at someone else. But what about when things go right? Who takes the credit for that? Voting is your chance to make things right. I'm not saying that , you voting in this election will change the world overnight, but at least you can say that you tried to make things happen, by voicing your opinion. On Monday, November 4, prior t<? Election Day, SmartVote '96 is sponsoring a political rally to entice students to vote in this year's presidential election. From noon to I p.m. on Chase Lawn, students, faculty and community members will gather to increase student awareness regarding the importance of voting. The main speaker will be Cheryl Giberson, President of the League of Women Voters. Student speakers will include Aaron Stoker focusing on "Changing the face of Generation X voters," Karen Handley, "We vote! Politicians need to care," and Sarah Shone, featuring "The Power of the vote." All students are invited to bring posters and make noise.

To the editor: While reading the October 3 issue of The Beacon, I was disturbed by a letter and" article containing similar information, and penned by the same author, Cindy Kem. It should be noted that the "news" article was, in fact, an opinion piece carelessly pla the news section. It's also necessary to note that Ms. Kern capriciously stated as facts, several claims were not attributed to any sources; some of which were obviously false. A "news" article · the proper medium to convey political propaganda. That should be restricted to the edi opinion pages and paid advertisements. That having been expressed, I would like to refute Ms. Kern's statement (in her letter President Bill Clinton "cares" about his constituents, which is why he has "protected" s the social welfare programs which older Ame1icans often rely upon for their retirement i and medical insurance. Bill Clinton is a politician's politician, Ms. Kem. His._"vision" is tunneled, extending no than political polls and focus groups, and no further than the year 2000. His campaign has been highlighted by new ideas, but these won't take us into the2lstce Protecting Medicare for 10 years is like tying a few extra feet of cord Onto a burning fuse d for a full powder keg. Spending billions to ensure that all children are able to read by the end of the third grade sound great, but it skirts the more crucial issue: children aren't learning to read in gradeso two. I should note here that I'm not intending to single out our current President. He isn't th: politician who has lied and forsaken his principals in order to get elected (or reelected). might be the best at doing so (hence his current status). His annoying smugness and plastic smile convey a look of confidence to some, but are more than an indicator that he's a much better liar than Mr. Bob Dole, who has told hiss tales since he threw his hat into the race as well. The truth is fyts. Kern, Republicans and Democrats aren't that far apart on most issues. can!t afford to be. The polls show most Americans are moderate. American voters arenol . , for big change, as much as they say they are. So, while politicians like Mr. Clinton and Mr. Dole continue to apply band-aids and b closures to the festering wounds of our system, the people of America sit back and occasional sighs of relief that the sky hasn't fallen since the last presidential election. What they don't realize, however, is that it is falling, slo_wly but surely. It has beenD some time. You won't hear that from either of the two "major" candidates. "They'd concede the election than tell the truth to the American people. After all, the truth isn't what people want to hear. And if you're running for President, there's no reason to tell especially if lying fiiis you ahead in the polls.

The Beacon staff would like to wish you a safe and enjoyable Halloween. Page 5 .Rendezvous: Backst~ge and Beyond with Donna Talarico On October 20, close to 2,500 Billy Joel fans gathered in the Marts Center for "An Evening of Questions, Answers and a Little Music. Billy Joel answered many questions about his own career and the music industry in general. He also perfo1med a few of his biggest hits, including the amazing grand finale, "Piano Man." It seemed as if the audience was on a one-on-one basis with Billy Joel during the question/ answer session. What could be more exciting? _ I'll tell you. Wilkes University Programming Board Chair, Jessica Beirbower actually was on a one-on-one basis with him. Jessica, a Communications major with concentration in Public Relations and Journalism, greeted the Piano Man as he came from his car. "I didn't get to talk to him too long, but I asked him how his ride went and directed him where he needed to go," she said. "He congratulated me after I introduced him to the audience." Jessica said she could not believe she actually met Billy Joel. "I've always loved his music. It was something I'll never forget," she said. As a member of the Programming Board, she has encountered several other celebrities including members of Live, Rusted Root and Alanis Morisette. She also had the chance to talk with the orange-haired comedian/inventor Carrot Top. "He was funny and real nice," said Jessica. "Really willing to talk to the crew members and give autographs." If you have had an encounter with the rich, the famous, the admired, drop me an e-mail at talarids@wilkesl.wilkes.edu or a note to campus box 1953. I'd love to hear your story. Letters to the Editor continued from page 1 To the Editor: • As we approach the midpoint in our fall semester of 1996, I want to congratulate the entire staff of The Beacon for putting out a first-rate newspaper for our Wilkes University community. The stories have been informative, well presented, accurate and interesti9g. You have captured the mood of a campus in the process of self renewal, including coverage of student initiatives which both offer opportunities for personal growth and community service. As journalists you have demonstrated a commendable professionalism in every aspect of The Beacon's production. I urge more students, staff and faculty to write letters to the editor in response to your columns as well as to raise issues of community interests we should all be discussing. I hope everyone is preparing to vote in the general election and thereby exercise the franchise, one of our most precious rights as a free people. Sincerely Christopher Breiseth To the Editor: It is now time for me to discuss something that I have always found peculiar, but have really never had the time nor incentive to question. It is only now that I am sickened with the flu, that the absurdity of some of this school's policies (specifically the one I will ta.lk about) becomes "intuitively obvious". (That was thrown in as humor for all those who have had Dr. Faut.) What, you ask, am I rambling about? The policy I question is that of the cafeteria requiring those ofus who might want an extra burger for lunch to bring our plates back to the servers rather than dirtying another plate. The only possible reason I can conceive for a policy such as this one being enacted is to lower the amount of dishes that have to be washed. As stated before, I have the flu. See the problem yet? I am quite sure you, the reader of this letter, don't want to be behind me in line when I bring back my plate for an extra helping of mashed potatoes. The same scoop that flopped my extra potatoes onto my already used plate will now be filling your plate with those wonderful spuds. The reason for this practice, I don 't know. It may simply be the dish cleaning problem, or there may be some more complicated reasoning. It seems to me to be a blatant disregard for student health and sanitation in an effort to save a few of our Board dollars. Whatever the case, I would like to know why this happens. I would also like to see this policy end. I think that you, the reader, will probably agree with me on this topic because you never know, I might just be that person who jumped in front of you to get another helping.

By DONNA TALARICO Beacon Staff Writer ,· t • r ' .. Tonight is Halloween and you really have no plans. As you relax in your dorm room with this issue of The Beacon, you receive a phone call. "Hey Wilma! Waldo is having a huge costume bash at his place tonight around 8p.m.! Wanna come? " You really would like to attend the party, but she said it was a costume party. A costume party? You glance at your Indiglo. 6: 15 p.m. 'fl1ere is absolutely no way I can throw a costume together in a little over an hour, you say to yourself. You take a look in your coffee can/money tin and see a few nickels lying there. No money. No time. What should you do ? Then it hits you! You were reading a nifty article about costumes when the phone rang! You go back to your bed and proceed to read The Beacon. If you e.lperieni:e a scenario such as the latter, you hwy want to consider these quick, easy and cheap costume ideas. l. Mummy: Everybody has toilet paper! (If not you have serious problems! I don't really want to know what you use as a substin,te. ) Anyway, if you are running low, get a roll or two from your friendly RA. If they inquire, tell them your roommate just fi nished off a bag of microwaveable burritos. Wrap yourself up from head to toe with the toilet paper and tape each end. Oh, and make sure you leave a spot f9r the eyes, nose and mouth. Enter the party with your hands in front of you, like a sleepwalker:, or do like the Bangles did in 1986 and walk like an Egyptian. You'Hbe a big success and your pals will "roll" with laughter. 2. Farmer: This one is a bit more on the normal side. All you really need is a pair of overalls, a flannel shirt and a pair of boots. Most of us brought these items to college with us anyway. If you can find a bandana, that will add a special touch to the Farmer Brown style. If you are a girl put your hair in pigtails and draw freckles on your cheeks with your eyeliner. If ypu are male, wear a_ straw hat if one is available to you and borrow eyeliner from a female neighbor. Actually, she should draw them on for you if you want them to look like freckles. For the final touch, search through the hay in the Greenway and find a piece of wheat to chew on as you walk to the party. (Nothing like a little grain to spruce up a farmer!) , 3. Athlete: There's plenty of athletes on campus who don uniforms. One of them might even live across the hall from you. Go knock on the door and ask to borrow their football jersey or wrestling headgear. If ou don 't alread belom? to the fine group of sports stars here at Wilkes, now is your chance to represent one, at least for the night. (And guys, I'm sure some of you can squeeze into a .cheerleading jumpsuit.) 4, .Gre.ek: Admitted, most of us college students like to dress up our dorm rooms with fancy bedclothes. But, some of you do have white sheets shoved in a drawer somewhere. In just minutes, you can look like the famed Socrates by wrapping the sheet around you like a toga. Find a green leaf or grass to stick behind your ear to top things off. To look like a Greek athlete, carry a Frisbee around. (This will resemble the discus competitions in the Athens Coliseum.) Of course there are many other things you could wear to a party that can come right out of your dorm room closet. You can wear your pajamas and slippers, or wear a robe and put your hair in a towel. You could also dress as a bum and of course, guys always look funny in dresses and pantyhose! Sure, us college kids don ' t have much money to spend on a killer costume, nor the time to design and construct one. And, since we are away from home, we can' t head up to the attic and get out old clothes. But, we can still get a good costume together in a short amount of time.

The New York Yankee manager waited longer than any man in baseball history to participate in a World Series. After 4,272 games over 37 years as a player and manager, Torre took the Yankees to their record 23rd championship this past Saturday. Torre, the only New York native to manage the Yankees to the title, became the sentimental favorite for fans across the country. Earlier this season, Torre's brother, Rocco, suffered a heart attack and died. His brother Frank had heart transplant surgery last Friday morning at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, about two miles from Yankee stadium. His sister, Sister Marguerite, is a principal at a Catholic grade school in nearby Queens. The human interest stories surrounding Torre brought together the city of New York as one of its own was leading its favorite team to baseball's promised land. The series featured great baseball as well. The Atlanta Braves opened the series looking as though they were going to easily win their second consecutive title. Completely unaffected by the mystique of Yankee Stadium and riding the momentum of their comeback win over the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series, the Braves took the first two games from the Yankees by a combined scores of 16-1. Nearly everyone counted the Yankees out as they prepared to go down to Atlanta for three games, everyone except Joe Torre and his players. In one of those bizarre yet prophetic sports moments, Torre calmed his excitable boss, Yankee owner George Steinbrenner, after the 12-1 debacle against Atlanta. Steinbrenner told Torre that Game 2 was a must-win. Torre, in an admittedly weird p10od, responded by saying the Yankees may even lose 6ame 2, but they were going to sweep down in his town ofi Atlanta, and win the title back in New York on Saturday. . Sure enough, the Yankees swept the Braves on the Georgia clay right in front of Ted and Jane, then c_ame back to the Bronx to win the series in dramatic fashion. Yankee J catcher, Jim Leyritz hit a heroic• • home run. Leading contender for tllt Cy Young Award, Andy Pettine pitched a classic game.-A badly hQbbled Paul O'Neill made a game saving catch. The buUpen, as expected, was dominating. The Braves scored a total of two runs after the seventh inning in the entire World Series. John Wetteland became the first pitcher to earn four saves in a World Series and wifs 'named Series MVP. This Tuesday New YorkCitythrew a victory celebration for its champions as only New York can.

King's didn't fair much better with a total of 114 yards. The Wilkes University defense had an excellent game · despite the weather. They were lead by junior Jim Poepperling who had an outstanding 15 tackles and three sacks. Wilkes scored in the first quarter with a bit of luck. On a pitch play, quarterback Boo Perry (five of 18 for 103 yards with two int.) fumbled the snap. However, a fortunate bounce put the ball back in his hands allowing him t_o run for a 39 yard touchdown. Andy Coolidge's extra point gave the Colonels a 7-0 lead. It was an all defensive game until the fourth quarter. The Colonels put together a nine play, 57 yard scoring Mike Hankins (34 carries for 12_1 yards) ended the drive with a one yard run for the touchdown making the score 13-0. Wilkes would have another opportunity to score late in the fourth as a blocked punt gave the Colonels the ball at the King's eight yard line. With a show of true sportsmanship, Wilkes elected to run out the 1:40 on the clock instead of trying to run up the score. Thus, the game ended Wilkes 13 King's 0. Quarterback Brian Cooney hit receiver Stephen Urbanowicz with a 10 yard pass for a touchdown. The extra point added by Mike offensive drives in the fourth quarter.

Game 2, American League Championship Series. The Yankees are down to the Baltimore Orioles, in desperate , need of a rally. A pitch is hit and the crowd roars as the ball streaks their way, the ball detennined to make its way out of the park. Seemingly a home run ... so a ten year old boy sticks out his hand, hoping to catch a little of the American pastime. · He actually reaches in a bit, hanging ever so slightly over the railing which separates the fans from the playing field. The ball is almost caught; the boy drops it, and a more enthusiastic (actually, probably obsessed, but we'll get to that later) fan snatches the ball from the stands. Fan interference, ladies and gentleman. It seems to be the only thing the sports world is focused on, especially now that · the Yanks have ended the Orioles World Series hopes. The outraged fans call for justice, saying that the ball would· not have been out had the little boy not reached for it. But the umpires rule it a home run, and the Yankees squeak by the Orioles, putting another stone behind them in their quest for the pennant. But here's the thing: when fans come to the stadium to see their favorite teams play th~ game, why do you think they're carrying gloves with them? It's not because they're going to use them as a seat cushion. So for all you out there still griping about fan interference and how the Yankees should not have been given the home run, put a sock in it. It happens. It happened again in a later game in the ALCS, when a ball bounced over an Orioles' outfielder and was snatched by a fan. Could he have made the play? Doesn ' t matter. ..the play was ruled as a double, and the game · went on. The game has to go on, unless baseball is going to adopt an instant replay system. And what about the boy, who seemingly won a major league base.ball game at the age of lO? He didn't even get to keep the ball. The other fan who got the ball after it was deflected by the child called the boy's home the next day, saying that he could get the ball back "for the right price '. I'll tell you what - that guy should be ashamed of himself. Steinbrenner should have bought the ball back for the 10 year old. Poor-kid. Or, maybe not- word around the campfire is that the boy has season tickets next year, along with getting some pretty nifty box seats for the remainder of the now past American League Championship Series. I think he even got to be on Regis and Kathy Lee the next day. Good for him he certainly deserves it. As you can all see_after reading this, I did not discuss Commonwealth Long Distance this week. I am meeting this week with some of their representatives to discuss some· . things before running the article. Sooner or later, I'm sure the article will be run. I didn't think that many people were paying attention to this weekly piece. I'm glad someone is, though - for better or worse. As always, any comments, questions or suggestions, you know where to reach me. I hope everyone has a good Fall Break; enjoy the day off while you can, before it gets too cold out.

In addition, all scholarship recipients receive $150 a month taxfree stipend (spending money), plus free room and board for students transferringto Wilkes and King's. Sophomores will not get this opportunity again next year. You must have two years of schooling remaining to take advantage of this offer and you must apply early enough this year to be selected to attend summer field training.

However, less than two minutes later, the Aggies struck back when Melinda Ormsbee scored off a penalty corner to tie the game. A back hander off the stick of Masenheimer gave Wilkes the overtime win. "Carrie just passed it, and I got the shot off,'' said Masenheimer. Two days earlier, the Lady Colonels defeated an intense Gettysburg. "They were mean," said Chipego. "But we were mean right back." Chipego displayed her aggression by scoring the games' only goal withjust5:25 remaining, after being sidelined for five minutes due to a mouth injury. "My fiTstshot was blocked by the goalie's pads," said Chipego. "Then I got the rebound and knocked it in." Chipego has been in a scoring zone lately. She's scored a goal in four out of the past five games, including a hat-trick in Wilkes' 5-0victor over Susquehanna last Tuesday. As it's done the entire season, the Lady Colonel's defense came up big once again. Defender Heather Evanish was in the face of the Bullets leading scorer, Tedra Fazendeiro the entire game, denying her any formidable scoring aiances. The defense as a whole played very strong. Especially in the first half, when Gettysburg had control in their offensive zone for over five minutes. Noell Brooks, Jeannette Uhl and Lee Meyers cleared consecutive penalty corners to hinder the Gettysburg offense. Goalies, Tracy Engle and Pam Truszkowski combined for the shutout. In fact, Truszkowski had the shutout rn the 5-0 victory over Susquehanna. "I_>am has played very well in practice," said Malatesta. "We're trying to give her some playing time." The combination of two talented goalies could be an important asset for the Lady Colonels in the post-season. with Michael Noone Baseball is a kid's game. Never was that more clear than in the eighth inning of Game I of the American League Championship Series, when 12year-old Jeffrey Maier got his glove on a ball hit by Yankee Derek Jeter and knocked it away from the Orioles' Tony Tarasco. The umpires called it a home run instead of fan interference, and the Yankees eventually went on to win the American League pennaqt in five games. Immediately young Maier was a darling of the New York press. "Angel in the Outfield" was the headline in The New York Post. Maier even upstaged the presidential campaign. A new star was born in New York, a kid who plays little league in New Jersey. Maier didn ' t hold onto the ball, but it didn't matter as far as Yankee fans were concerned. Maier was treated like a hero during Game 2 of the ALCS . He was given seats directly behind th'e Yankees dugout. He signed autographs for his adoring fans and he was honored by chants of "Jeff-rey, Jeff-rey'' by the New York faithful. Now the Yankees will be in the World Series for the first time in 15 years and all of Maier's life. Enjoy the Series, Jeffrey, but you probably should stay out of Baltimore for the next couple of years. ....................... ~ HELP WANTED Help Wanted Men/Women earn $480 weekly assembling circuit boards/electronic components at home.

About 25 students and faculty gathered in Rumours on Sunday, October 6 at 9 p.m. to watch the 1996 debate between presidential contenders former Senator Bob Dole and President Bill Clinton. The main purpose of · this event, sponsored by the communications and political science departments, was to help the students "get the most out of the Clinton-Dole Debates." With a big screen television, free pizza and soda, and coverage by WBRE-TV, students sat down to watch the debate and discussed the issues that were being addressed. In addition, suggestions that were prepared by Dr. Diana Carlin of the UniversityofKansasforSpeech CommunicationAssociatesand the "Politics Now" www site and the League of Women· voters, were distributed to the students as a guide. It consisted of list of issues that might emerge from the debate, a "g!.:aded" system of problem solving and knowledge between Clinton and Dole. It asked a variety of other questions. For example, to whom did the candidates appeal, did the candidates address the concerns of young voters, and based on the debate, who would make a better president? Many college students remain skeptical about who to . vote for in this election, even after watching this debate. One a major concern for college students is whether or not the candidate addresses young voters like themselves. "I felt that by attending this program, I could . gain better insight toward the candidates' stand on the issues. Since this is my first presidential election, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity so I can make a wise choice this November," said Mike Beachem, a junior communications major. After the debate; students stayed for a brief discussion lead by Dr. Jane ElmesCrahall. It seemed that the majority felt that Dole lost the debate for a variety ofreasons and that Clinton had more credibility. For example, Dole's poor posture made many feel that he did not appear to be confident. As noted by Kathy Schmucker, a senior communication and political science major, "Dole sounded like a bitter old man," because he continuousiy attacked Clinton. "This debate reaffirmed my support for Clinton.Dole'sskirtingaround the issues and personal attacks on Clinton, in my eyes, showed a lack of preparation and an overall fear of the President," said Kalen Churcher, a senior communications major. Another interesting comment, concerning Dole's poor performance was from Sonya Ormsby, a senior political science major who noted "Senator Dole did not followtherulesofengagement. He gave quite a few cheap shoots thatgavean Senator Dole coul~ com pared to Presi Although both pitched themselves ideas, I feel Clint the winner."

Everybody ready for Homecoming ? I am, but my professors aren' t - either that or their mission in life is to make the weeks before and after.the biggest event of the year a living hell. Personally, I've already had three nervous breakdowns (and it's only halfway through the week as I'm writing this). But the profs keep· piling it on. You'd think they would want to take a little break- don't they get sick of grading all those papers and teaching all the time? In a way, though, I guess it's a good thing - at least the professors here care enough about our education to keep pressing on, even when the time isn't right. But you can just see them, gathered around a huge table in some secret room in the Stark Leaming Center, trying to win a bet on who can assign the most work in a two week period. Just a hunch... I want to comment a little about the topics I've been discussing in the last few columns. First of all, I have a correction about the PNC MAC machine story that just ran. I was griping about the MAC mftchine ~ere on campus because it charges a dollar for every transaction - if you are nofa PNC bank member. Yes, it's true-if you have an account at PNC, you will not be charged a dime for a transaction. However, if you are a PNC member, you will be charged for transactions at a Mellon MAC machine. You see, I was only using the machine here on campus as a model of how ridiculous the world is becoming. I mean, you put money in the bank, and they use that money to make money for themselves. Then they get together with their comrades and say "hey, let's make more money by charging each other's customers!" Just another example of the cutthroat business world in' action. But now, at least, you have two alternatives: you can hide your money under the mattress, or you can join a bank and stick to the same MAC machine. The other thing I wanted to touch upon is the little comment I made at the end of last week's article. I used the word scandal when referring to the Commonwealth Long Distance company, which apparently" caused a bit of a ripple in the pond. I would like to point out that this column is a little fact mixed with a great amount of opinion. When using the word scandal, I was only trying to make a few people laugh. So I_therefore advise everyone to take some of the · off-color things I say as nothing but a bit of dry humor. For those of you that are interested, a piece of mine concerning Commonwealth will be run next week. However, I will first speak with tlie CLD representative on campus to make sure that any facts I may have stated in the article (which was slated to run this week) are correct. Once everything is straight, I promise to bring this story to you. Well, I'm a little pressed for time right now, since I didn't expect to be writing a column on Wednesday night to be published on Thursday. I would like to offer my apologies to the Commonwealth representative for using a "red flag" word when discussing their company, but I assure everyone that I meant no harm. All I want is for people to laugh along with me as I discuss some of the things that sometimes puzzle me in our community. I'd like to wish - everyone a happy Homecoming, and best of luck to all of the members of the Homecoming court. Until next time, have fun, but please be safe this weekend so we can talk again next week. · Octobe~ 10~ Become a Best Bud By MIKE BEACHEM Beacon Staff Writer ,Are you looking to meet a friend?

It features, "a variety of situations that can can take place in a typical American dining room." In the vast array of situations, each actor plays many roles. For example, Wilkes student Jennifer John portrays five women characters. As the scenes weave together, the performers walk off stage as one character and in the next scene return as a c01:npletely character . The result in her words is a, "difficult play to do, but a lot of fun - it.is well worth the effort." The production of this play has been made possible through the efforts of the director, Joe Daws~m. stage manager Dan Craig, assistant stage manager Nicole Monahan, and the actors and actresses.

That's the message this October . during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month . Today in America, there are over 1.6 million breast cancer survivors. Thes_e women are living proof that although it cannot be prevented, breast cancer can be ' detected at an early, treatable stage. For most women on campus, early detection begins now. At age 20, all women should begin doing monthly breast selfexaminations. The exam takes only three steps: 1. E xamine breasts with the fi ngers during a b~th or shower.

I'in very much looking forward to it,"· said Keelan about his upcoming performing debut with the orchestra Keelan also noted that there is a lot of excitement amongst the musicians for these concerts. "Rhapsody in Blue" is . often credited as a work that forever erased the lines between jazz and classical music. It was· one of the most popular works at a time when jazz was Jrying to be respectable , and was one of the first jazz works performed in a concert hall rather than a dance hall . But all of the music for these performances was written at a strong moment of crossover between classical and jazz, according to Keelan. Another highlight in the evening will be an extremely high-energy work by Leonard Bernstein, "Prelude , Fugue, and Riffs." The piece was originally written for Benny Goodman and includes a demanding solo and lead for clarinet which will be handled by ----- the Philharmonic 's principal music, and from Kurt clariI1etist, Todd Levy.

The free exhibit will be on display from noon to 5 p.m. to the public and Wilkes community. Atget was a French photographer who took pictures of France, . particularly Paris, in the 19th century. Atget was a commercial photographer who worked in -and around Paris for much of bis life, taking close to ten thousand photographs. In thirty years of work, he never photographed popular sites such as the Eiffel Tower or the Arch of Triumph. Instead he focused on expressions of his own day. Atget photographed doorways, city blocks, parks, and statues on overcast days to give the feeling of abandonment and isolation. He used an adjusting lens and large format camera to capture perfect edges and comers of buildings without the curving effect sometimes found in long range photographs. Dr. Stanley Grand of the So~doni Art Gallery . said, "anyone who is interested in Paris should come see these photographs. Eugene Atget is someone who is very representative of France and the 19th century. Atget's photographs are synonymous with Paris." Atget' s photos can be seen in the newly created print room across the hall from the gallery. •During Atget' s exhibit, the Art Gallery will show items from its old collection, art work that has been on loan, as well as some new acquisitions. The Sordoni Art Gallery is open daily from noon to 5p.m. For more information about the exhibits, contact the Sordoni Art Gallery at (717)831-4325 or 1:-800WILKES-U, ext. 4325.

After a few years virtual nonexistence, the crew has reorganized with 20 bers and is working hard,to blish itself as a serious contender ong rowing schools.

In addition to , the University of Scranton also various boats there that the ilkes CrewTeam periodically uses. The crew team rows four times week. Practice begins at 5:30 . onthe weekdays (Tuesday, ednesday and Thursday), and at 11 . onSaturdays. During practice crew can typically be seen rowing both the eight and four person ats. Every good school has a wing team and Wilkes University 1h it campus adjacent to -the uehanna River is no exception.

Wilkes' course runs from the railroad bridge, which is located about 1.5 miles below the Market Street Bridge, to the Pierce Street Bridge, which is adjacent to the Luzerne County Courthouse. The crew team members also meet regularly in the gym to work out and condition. They also meet during club time on Thursdays to discuss various issues. The team is presently training for the upcoming Occoquan Regatta in Fairfax, VA. The Occoquan Regatta features a grueling 3.2 mile course. While there·, the crew team will represent Wilkes University by competing against as many as 400 rowing teams from all over the country. While most of the other rowing teams are provided with an annual operating budget from their respective schools, our team is not yet a varsity sport and therefore receives no funding from the_ _ __ university. Entering the Regatta, renting boats, obtaining hotel rooms and providing transportation is an expensive venture, so among . other things the team is organizing a series of fund raisers that include a sweater sale in Stark lobby, selling jackets, T-shirts and sweatshirts to pay for the trip. · According to crew team members, rowing is not only a great way to meet people and make frie nds, it is also an excellent cardiovascular workout and a great way to build endurance and strength. Although the Wilkes crew team is relatively small compared to other rowing schools, which may typically have 40 plus members, they are off to an impressive start and are definitely building a strong foundation from which the program will continue to grow in future years. After all, we are a university with great river front property. It would be foolish not to use it to our advantage. Anyone up to a rowing challenge that would like to become part of the Wilkes University Crew Team is encouraged to attend their weekly meeting on Thursday at 12:15 p.m. in Marts Center room 117 or just show up to any of the practices. - 'iJaniei: ·10·"the· ·n·ooth·· • ·_·h·••••~ ·h·••••••••• •••••••••··i 1 wit Mic ae Noone :• It's that time of the year when the boys of summer take the field in the crisp autumn air.

The senior duo, has scored 12 of Wilkes' 20 goals throughout the first 10 games of the season. Two days later, in blustery cold conditions, the Lady Colonels overcame the elements and a tough Scranton team to remain unbeaten (3-0) in Freedom League play with a 1-0 victory. "We played very well," _ said coach Addy Malatesta. "We combined our short passing game and our long passing game." A firm Lady Royal Brooks and Suzanne · Fisher had superb defensive . performances.

"We moved Carrie up to the point, and she ended up scoring the winning goal," said Malatesta. The scoring opportunity was a picture perfect demonstration of quick dribbling, accurate passing and precise shooting by the Lady Colonels' "triple threat" of Palilonis, Masenheimer and Chipego. "Tonya dribbled in from the right side and passed it across the circle," said Palilonis of the scoring play. "I passed it to 'Chip' and she just slavved it in." "It was a total team effort," added Chipego. The Wilkes midfielders and defenders consistently hampered the Scranton forwards and continually fed the Lady Colonels from the line with pinpoint passes the entire game. Jeannette Uhl, Heather Evanish, Noell the ball out of the scoring circle with a long pass to a wide open Masenheimer at the 50 yard line. Masenheimer proceeded to poke the ball from a charging defender and dribble all alone into the offensive zone. But, Scranton goalie, Jen Taylor, raced out of the goal cage to kill the break away.

ABM held the contract with Wilkes but as of July 1, of this year, Wilkes has taken over the responsibilities of maintenance, janitorial and grounds upkeep: Patrick Taylor, janitorial supervisor of the college's Facilities Management Department agreed with the clerks and added t~at if it rains during a weekend a utility person is automatically sent to the mailroom to help clean it up, and this often means an interruption of assigned duties.

A little sluggishness, a lot of moodiness and no desire to do anything related to school. Then it hit me. I still wanted to goof off and pa11y. I still wanted. to be sociable. I just didn't want to work. It's the sixth week of school and I have it bad - Senioritis. I sho~ld be concentrating ... studying ... preparing myself for a career. I can't even think of anything worthwhile to write about. So, you know what? I'm not going to waste your time babbling about my untreatable illness. Let's talk about you, the students at Wilkes University. These last few weeks I've been waiting patiently, which isn't my best trait, and I've only received one, let me repeat one, letter to the editor. How pathetic! Campus activities are numerous. Controversies are far from none. However, none of you have written. Your opinion counts. I personally would like to know what you think concerning the many changes to Wilkes University. Or why not offer your own suggestions as to what improvements could be made. Each one of us is paying a large sum of money to attend this University. It is up to us to keep it running. With that in mind, I hope some of you will take the time to voice your questions and concerns. Maybe your opinion could make a difference. A quick thought from the Cheatnotes of Life: If you think you have a great idea, DON'T LET ANYONE TALK YOU OUT OF IT even if it sounds foolish.

Dear'Editor, Why hasn't any major political figure visited Wilkes University? I'll tell you why; Wilkes students don't seem to be interested in this election. Iain amazed, shocked and slightly embarrassed of the lack of activism on campus. At the Victory '96 office at 68 S. Franklin Street, less than ONE block from our camous. I am the only Wilkes student, to my knowledge, who volunteers. I work side by side with students from Kings and Misericordia. On Wednesday. October 2 there was a Students for Clinton/Gore eve nt in fronl the gym at Kings College. This was attended by students from Kings, Misericordia, and Pittston Area High School. Again I was the only Wilkes student present. The Crown (the Kings' newspaper) took the time to interview their stude nts and even sent a photographer. The Times Leader also cov.ered the event. Where was Th e Beacon ? If students show no interest in what is happening politically, don't vote, or when they do vote, don't vote according to their bet interest; who's fault is it going to be when "President Bob Dole" and Speaker Newt Gingrich eliminate direct student loans, slash Pell Grants and cut work study? Why has President Clinton protected Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security fo r our parents and grandparents? It's nol just because he cares, and we know he does; it is also because our parents and grandparents VOTE! The reason why Bob Dole, as form er Senate Majority Leader, co ul d repeatedly and consistently vote against Pell Grants, work study, Americorps and student loan reform is because he need not fear our wrath on November 5th.

", $30 or $40, depending on the drawing power of the babe's current TV show, movie, and/or MTV video. Being a thrifty sort, out of dire necessity due to the thoughtless reproduction of more of my species, I passed over Cindy, Cheryl and Jane, and grabbed a tap~put together by someone a little less well known .... uh, Ethel Joe? In my rush to bounce, stretch, and strain my way to fitness, I promptly left the tape, still sealed, somewhere in ct:ie depths of my bedroom for the next two or three weeks. Unlike several friends of mine, who seem to take a perverse joy in "hitting the wall" on a regular basis, I tend to consider my daily relaxing routine of working, studying, cleaning, and washing dishes, clothes, small dirty bodies, cuts, scrapes, bedclothes, lunchboxes ... ok, ok, you get the point, more than enough exercise needed to keep, at the very least, conscious. Besides, I hit a wall once. It hurt. A couple of my more ambitious (masochistic) friends spend a good chunk of every day either jogging themselves nearly to the point of pale, sweaty expiration, constantly clutching at their wrists in an effort to locate a pulse, or playing tennis until the veins and arteries in their necks bulge and pulsate, with their lips drawn back in a death's head grin from the effort of having so much fun .. . or both (you know who you are). They're probably on the mailing lists of every orthopedic surgeon within a radius of 50 miles. Just in case. ~ My obvious sloth displays a deplorable lack of innate desires to become the answer to some medico's dreams of financial success. I can live with that - despite the fact that I heard much good work has been done in the area of treating intlamed rotator cuffs, shin splints, and carpel tunnel syndrome. It wasn't until, during one of my semi-annual bursts of half-assed ambition aimed at creating some semblance of order out of the chaos of my home that I discovered the thing, with Ethel Joe still patiently, sweatily. toothily leering ai me, under my bed. Sudden visions of myself with the same taut, glistening body of the ever-lovely Ethel Joe sprang into my head, and with all haste (another week or so) I carefully draped myself in my best T shirt and sweats and-unwrapped the wonder of wonders .. . Vigor in a Box .. . in 20 minutes a day, three times a week. Everything of steel. Eureka. The gods of fitness would be smiling down on me for sure. Thirty minutes later (they lied), as I eased my trembling arms back down to my sides, I gratefully contemplated, between occasional bouts of unconsciousness, the astounding benefits of my new-found health regimen. Vitality and endurance would be recaptured ... muscles that hadn't seen any functional use in years would spring back to life ... lack of oxygen would cause (more) brain dainage ... my heart would stop ... blood vessels would burst .. . Reassured in my decision to continue with the pliant and disgustingly cheerful Ethel Joe, who never developed my own quite attractive technique of gasping for air until the tendons stood out in my neck, I reverently set aside the Holy of Holies until the next day. Promptl y at 6 a.m. I attempt.ed to leap out of bed, sure that all my straining efforts of the previous day would have already developed the beginnings of muscles that would cause Arnold to bl ush in shame. Confident that the screaming protest in joints and ligaments was the unhappy result of merely sleeping in the wrong position during the night, I blearily made my way downstairs and bolstered my sagging spirits 'fith seven or eight mugs of coffee before approaching the TV. In a feyer of caffeine-fired ambition, I plugged the tape into the VCR and waited for the Answers to tender voice of.Ethel Joe to urge fue into performing the contortions required to "warm up" King Crossword SCAM •BOB before the real fun begins.

Beacon Staff Writer Saturday afternoon's blustery winds, cloudy skies and nagging rains failed to put a damper on the men's soccer team's 4-2 overtime win over Elmira ·college. The win was Wilkes' first non-league victory of the season, lifting its overall record to 2-5. The game proved to be an intense one right from the beginning, as it was mostly a mid-field battle with few shots being taken by either team. The first goal didn't come until the 22nd minute, after the Wilkes offense strung a series of one-touch passes together at the Elmira perimeter. Wilkes freshman mid-fielder, Brian Wukitch, at the receiving end of the passes, took the ball at his · feet and struck it well, sending it into the sidenetting off the inside of the goalpost. Elmira nearly _equalized the score seven minutes later, when the ball sailed over the Wilkes defense a_nd found the Elmira forward's head. The ball clanged off the post, but somehow managed to stay out of the net. Elmira was vulnerable at this point, and Wilkes was wise to take advantage with a quick counter-attack. James Lacy, a late-half substitution, received the ball at mid-field, turned and dribbled with speed, drawing several Elmira defenders. This opened up space for a streaking Rob Roll~nd, who made a sprint from Lacy's left flank.

A solid defense can win a team a bunch of games. Just ask the Wilkes field hockey team. The Lady Colonels proved the cliche on Saturday afternoon when their stingy defense stymied a pesky FDUMadison offense en route to a 2-0 shutout. From the start it looked as though the Wilkes offense . would dominate the affair. The Lady Colonels came out with a fluid passing game that established a firm field ' position in the offensive zone. They took advantage of their offensive stability two minutes into the game when Tonya Masenheimer dribbled into the scoring circle from- the left side and slapped a shot on goal that was blocked, but Christy Palilonis knocked in the rebound to give the Lady Colonels an early 1-0 lead. For the remainder of the first half the FDU-Madison defense clamped down on the Wilkes offense, as they killed the many fast breaks and scoring chances the Lady Colonels generated. Wilkes almost broke the clamps with four minutes remaining in the half when defender Heather Evanish, who pinched up into the offensive zone, drilled a shot off the right goal post and out of bounds. In the second half, Wilkes continued to send shot after shot at FDU goalie 'April · Sharnitz, but she denied all of them. With 12 minutes remzi.ining in the contest and the Lady Colonels clinging to a 1-0 lead, Wilkes goalie, Tracy Engle did some denying of her own. Engle displayed a variety of charging kick saves to stall several FDU scoring chances. She finished with six saves. Evanish, MasenQeimer, Sarah Reed and Noell Brooks had great defensive performances, as they frustrated the FDU forwards all day with their quickness and effective poke-checking ability. Brooks would eventually be a factor on offense, when she set up the Lady Colonels much needed insurance goal. With 9:12 remaining, the senior defender sent a pass to Palilonis in the scoring circle from 35 yards out. Palilonis then poked a short shot past Shamitz, who came out to challenge it, as lunging Carrie Chipego pushed the loose ball into the cage to seal the victory. Wilkes defeated crosstown rival King's College 2-1 this past Tuesday. The Lady Colonels improved to 5-3 on the year with the win. Extended coverage of the game will appear in next week's Beacon.

If your answer is yes, 're not alone. Students to become active in protecting and preventing crime in their own neighborhood: Last Tuesday night at 7 p.m. in the Marts Center there was a meeting discussing the possibility of ·Wilkes :University starting its own crime watch group. Lt. Rushton of the WilkesBarre Police Department, Chief Gerald Cookus Head of Security at Wilkes University, Guy Izzo President of the Crime Watch Coalition and Coordinator of the South Wilkes-Barre Area Crime Watch, Dean Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, CJ Copely, President of the Off Campus Council, along with other crime watch members were present to discuss how a crime watch group can be formed and what it actually does. The Crime Watch's main objective is to report susp1c10us or criminal activities to the police. The Crime Watch leaders will also organize walk or bike patrols around the Wilkes University campus. The primary goal of these patrols is to let the criminals know that Wilkes University students are concerned with crime on and off campus. Lt. Rushton made the point several times that these "patrols are non-confrontational, the students are simply there to observe and report any suspicious or criminal activities to the police department." Students who join the Crime Watch Coalition do not have to attend every patrol, they can take part whenever their schedule allows them to. Lt. Rushton also said that the students are not in any danger because "students are not to intervene. If students stay within watch group regulations, and they remain within a group they will remain safe." Although there was agood turnout for the first meeting, if Wilkes is going to form a crime watch group more students need to get involved.CJ Copely said, "The key to getting more people involved is to let them know that crime can affect everyone's life."

Breiseth, is the new vice-president of Alumni, ~evelopment and University Relations. "Wilkes is a real treasure in the community and I'm excited to have this opportunity," he said. Strunk expressed admiration of the accomplishments of his predecessor, Thomas Hadzor, and he hopes to have the same impact on the University. Hadzor has taken a position at Duke University in North Carolina. The description of Strunk' s position includes chief external relations officer and a general officer of the University. · His main responsibiliti~s are to oversee marketing and communications with constituents both locally and nationally, plan and manage fund-rai si ng activities, and organize the University's relations with alumni and friends. "With all of us working together we can try to get people in the community, and hopefully the nation, to understand all that's happening here on campus;" said Strunk. Strunk comes to Wilkes after 11 years at the University of Scranton. Over the years, he was directorofthedevelopmeqt,annual giving, planned giving and capital campaign departments. Claire Fox, director of annual giving,seesStrunk'sappointment as advantageous for the University. Shesaid, "We'rereallypleased to be able to get someone of Paul's caliber here at Wilkes. His breadth of experience in fund-raising is really going to help us gain support ~ for our annual and capital needs." Fund-raising has always been a large part of Strunk' s career and he works with the attitude that all donations are equally important.. He said, " If someone gives you a million dollar gift (and it's all he/ sheisabletogive)it'sbecausehe/ she wants to help the organization. If someone gives you a $10 gift (and it's all he/she is able to give) it's for the same reason;. therefore, they're in the same Strunk added, "Thee give is different desire to give is the are sponsori fan bust support o football te playing Albright , 0 Sign-up sh will be int cafe. and@ t even th ver 29 lo ackin•g the s into lobby la of a ers.

I didn't mean to criticize or condemn anyone. To each his or her own. For those of you that did read the column, arid were thoughtful enough to comment on it, thank you. For those of you that did read the column and didn ' t comment on it, please feel free to do so, at any time. There are a few topics of interest that were introduced to me over the course of the past week. I'd like to discuss these topics this week, but please keep in mind that the views expressed are not necessarily of the writer. Well , maybe not, but if I give incorrect information about something, please let me know ·(nicely, of course), because I may not "know it all" ,about some of the things I'm asked to talk about. The first topic is the subject of Ethernet connections. As we allknow, some of the dorms here at Wilkes are equipped with Ethernet connections which allow direct access to such goodies as w~lkesl.wilkes.edu, bl9ndie.matcs . and yugo.mme. I will admit that I don ' t know which dorms · are, but I do :\(now that some are. Regardless, someone mentioned to me that some people are not taking advantage of the Ethernet connections. This person informed me of the facts that dialing up to wilkes 1 with a modem is slower than using the Ethernet connection (in fact, five times siower). Also, using a modem rather than the Ethernet "bogs down" wilkesl, which means that the mainframe will run slower for others. I have only one thing to say about this topic: for those of you that are capable of utilizing the Ethernet connections, please do so. It will benefit both you and others which are on line for long periods of time, whether it be to check your e-mail, write a computer program or play fantasy games. (Not those kinds of fantasy games, for those of you with sick minds). The other topic which I would briefly like to touch upon is the SUB. As we all know, the SUB is open "late night" between the hours of 8-10 p.m. A disgruntled student mentioned to me that he tried to get a cup of coffee at 9:30 p.m . and couldn 't because the coffee maker was already turned off for the night. I will not sit here and criticize the SUB , because it is a great convenience to be able to pick up something to eat later in the evening. But if it is open until 10 p.m., there should be things available to eat and drink until 10 p.m. I could understand why the student was upset - after all, all he wanted was a cup of coffee. Well, that's all for ow. As always, if you have any comments, questions or topics of discussion, please e-mail me at rtym@wilkes.edu. Have a good week, and we'll talk again soon. Any club or organization wishing to publish information in The Beacon, can contact us x2962 or stop by Hollenback Hall, 2nd floor.

Freshman Communications major, Jessica Aikey, freshman Secondary Education and English major, Nicole Del Priore and I share a common bond. We are all dedicated fans, and that is one hard job. You may disagree, but being a dedicated fan takes tons of patience and persistence. You also have to be sly and work well under pressure. For instance, if a big, hairy bouncer shouts that you cannot go backstage, you have to quickly come up with a scheme to get backstage before the tour bus departs. Enough about the characteristics of a die-hard fan. We all share another common bond-;-- Davey Jones. ''I'm in love with Davey Jones, even though he's 50 !," exclaimed Nicole. "The Monkees are my favorite band." Nicole was in the second row at the Monkees' concert at the Kirby Center on August 23, and she too, ended up meeting the classic group. Nicole explained that she and her friends waited outside the back entrance of the Kirby before the show. Peter Tork carue in and signed Nicole' s postcard and posed for a picture. Mickey Dolenz and Davey Jones also got dropped off, but rushed inside. However, Nicole got a good look at the van that delivered the musical trio, and noted that it said 'The Woodlands." She had a blast at the concert and even handed Davey a red rose as he sang "She." "After the concert, instead of waiting outside like everybody else, we went straight to the Woodlands," she said. She continued that they waited for close to two hours before a tour bus pulled up. When the bus arrived, Davey and Mickey came out and signed autographs for them and posed for pictures. , "Davey was really short and really nice," she said. "When I told him my favorite 'Monkees' episode was 'Frotis', he laughed and said, 'I can't believe you remember that!" Nicole was very excited about meeting her all-time favorite music group, but she did have one complaint, "I was jealous of Donna because she got to dance with Davey!" Jessica Aikey also met Davey Jones while she was waitressing at a bar/restaurant in her hometown of Mifflinburg. "I didn't even know it was him until my boss pointed it out to me," she said. "I remember what he ate though. He doesn't eat red meat so he specifically asked for broiled haddock." Jessica's real idol, however, is not some short guy whose show airs on Nickelodeon re-runs. Her idol is female rock star, Tori Amos, and Jessica had a run-in with her after her May 19 concert at Kirby Center. (The Kirby seems to be the good luck spot to meet supers~:1rs). "I waited by her tour bus for an_hour and a half after the show," she said. "When she came out, she gave people hugs and said hi. Then she looked at me, smiled and said 'Hello.'" "I was so excited to meet her. It was weird because I realized she's a real pers9,n ! It's so much different when you see them in person than when they are on stage," concluded Jess. And to nobody's surprise while interview_ing Jessica, "Precious Things" by Toti Amos was blaring in the background. · Meeting an idol can be like a dream-come ·true. As stated earlier, you have to be a very dedicated fan to actually wait for hours on end to get an autograph or picture. And some of us dedicated fans are lucky enough to get the chance of meeting a favorite star. if you have a story about an encounter with a well-known political figure, musician, actor, sports figure, artist or anyone inspirational, please feel free to contact me so I can include it in an upco.ming edition of "Rendezvous: Backstage and Beyond."

Congressional citations, greetings from PA Governor Tom Ridge aQd resolutions from community leaders and area legislators were · presented to Bigler. But, the most moving tribute came from one of his students, Kathy Schmucker. Schmucker, a senior communications and political science major who is interning with Congressman Paul Kanjorski, was asked to present the Congressional Record citation. She also turned to her teacher and said, " Professor Bigler, if someone like you believes in me , then I know I can believe in me." The principal address was given by Sanford Ungar, Dean of the School of Communications at American University. Ungar, a good friend of Bigler, spoke about the distrust Americans have of journalists and referred to naOu f Susqt tch , Lu ecreatit nt, Wil lub am unications ·ng compa keting ex1 e County i Photo by Dave Honoring a colleague. it as, "blaming the messenger for the me ssage."

Although he deviated from his intended speech about his latest book, Fresh Blood: The New American Immigrants, he presented an enlightening speech about journalism, political communication and its transformation through time. Senior Kalen Churcher, a communication major, felt Ungar's information was relevant to her and her other students, "Dean Ungar's speech was really good for communication majors, he has good insights into the media aod how they deal with political as well as other topics." Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chair of the communications department attended Dean Ungar's lecture with some of his students, "what he said was pertinent to people today, because most people only hear what they want to hear in the political process."

'Because of budget traints we're always lenged to come up affordable recreation all Luzerne County. This project makes sense because it uses available resources and equipment in a creative way for the common good," says John Charles, Recreation Director 0f Luzerne County. Scott Spinucci, project director of Susquehanna Outfitters says he came up with the idea just a few years ago while working as marketing and public relations director with a major outfitter near Jim Thorpe and as a volunteer with local river-front groups. "I realized first hand, the positive economic and recreational impact canoeing and rafting had on the Poconos' economy. Why not bring the same level of quality recreation to the Susquehanna and Wyomi!).g Valley?," asked Spinucci of Kingston. He added that "Undoubtedly, the Susquehanna River is our most under-utilized recreation /tourism resource. We've talked a lot about recreating on the Susquehanna in the past and we look to an even brighter future as water quality increases each year, but there's never been a . better time than right now to enjoy what we have." "This is a perfect example of what people can do if they work together," says Dr. Gerald Reisinger, executive director of the Wilkes-Barre Rowing Club. The club recently donated office space in their modular headquarters atop the levee in Nesbitt Park. Reisinger will also oversee water safety training classes. "The support we've received from local businesses has been good but we need more help from companies like hardware stores, sign shops, newspapers, tv stations, etc. to help us both promote and defer costs," .says Spinucci. Recently, members of the Wilkes-Barre Tomorrow joineq _Susquehanna Outfitters as a "quasi" test . group for canoe excursion3. The response from members who canoed the river this past weekend was _ overwhelmingly positive. "I. was amazed at the natural beauty the Susquehanna River offers. The stretch (of river) between West Pittston and Forty-Fort is like a beautiful untamed wilderness. During our journey we saw River Otter, Osprey and Blue Herron. It was unbelievable," says Jay Nardone, Wilkes-Barre Tomorrow member. People in the Wyoming Valley really don't give the river a chance. But when you canoe it, you see it from a different perspective." In addition to the many people involved in bringing this project to fruition, Susquehanna Outfitters would also like to thank Mayor Ray Crisi, West Pittston, Bette Saxton, Kingston, Genoa Wholesale Foods, Plains, and Charles· Urban and Ed Zygmunt, Susquehanna River Watch for their support and guidance. Initially, canoeists will disembark from the West Pittston public boat launch and end their trip at the Nesbitt Park's public boat launch. Future plans include excursions from Tunkhannock to Shickshinny and others, such as West Pittston to Nanticoke and Nanticoke to Shickshinny. A river guides program was started recently to assure water safety along with providing education concerning river history. Anyone interested in becoming a river guide can contact Scott Spinucci at 288-3729. Canoe rentals will be provided on weekends through the e_nd of October and will be by reservation only. Group discounts are available. Also, special programs will be developed to encourage canoeing among local elementary and high schools. The cost is $15 per person and includes canoe usage (half-day), transportation and water safety training. For more mtormauon call 288-3729, ext. 7 .

"We've finished off our scoring chances, which is what we needed to work on and our passing game was strong."

Following a goal by Masenheimer at 30:35, Carrie Chipego hit a dashing Christy Palilonis with an accurate pass as she was slipping through the Albright defensive line. Palilonis then slapped a low shot past the right side of the charging goalie and into the_cage at 10:55. Four minutes later Chipego scored on a penalty stroke, which she vaulted into the right corner of the goal. With 1:45 remaining in the half, the Lady Colonels scored the goal that eventually took the roar out of the Lions' game. Once again Chipego set up the goal, when she poked a short pass to a wide open Masenheimer in the scoring circle, who knocked it into the cage to give Wilkes a 4-0 half-time lead. It was obvious the Lions, who had only thirteen players on their roster, were fatigued by the intermission. The Lady Colonels had fresh legs on the field at all times, as Malatesta went to her bench often. "We wore them down," said Malatesta. "I played 22 different players in the first half." Palilonis added two goals and Masenheimer added one in the second half, as the Lady Colonels completed their triumph over Albright to improve to 2-1 on the season. The weekend didn't go as easy for Wilkes as they played a competitive St. Lawrence and the nationally ranked William Smith squad. On Saturday against St. Lawrence in Geneva, New York, Masenheimer continued her offensive rampage by scoring her fifth goal of the season and assisting on what ended up being the game-winning goal by freshman forward Sara Clause. Wilkes went on to defeat St. Lawrence 2-1 . The Lady Colonels _ out shot St. Lawrence 18-3 and senior goalie, Tracy Engle had three saves. William Smith handed Wilkes a tough 1-0 loss on Sunday. The Lady Colonels played strong , but their only lapse occurred 42 seconds before the half when William Smith scored the game ' s only goal.

Susquehanna received the opening kick-off, but did nothing with their first possession. An errant snap on fourth down gave the ball to the Wilkes offense within · striking distance of the endzone. The Colonels wasted no time getting on the scoreboard first. Sophomore Brian Manger (2 catches for 25 yards) caught a 12 yard touchdown pass from Boo Perry at 13: 11. Andy Coolidge kicked the extra point giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The remainder of the first half looked as though it would remain scoreless. Wilkes had several ·opportunities to score, but the offense could not capitalize. Susquehanna was the next to put the pigskin in the end zone. With 53 seconds left in the half,- the Crusaders' quarterback, Meckley (six carries for 13 yards and one reception for four yards) would carry the ball one yard for the touchdown. Boo Perry passe the ball to Ryan Alston fort two point conversion. This gave Wilkes a 21-14 lead wi a little over 11 minutes left to play. Susquehanna tried everything they could to sco again, but the Wilkes defense would not go away. Wilkes linebacker, Joe Sinkovich came up big by taking down the quarterback in the backfield during a fourth ano one play from the Wilkes 19 yard line.

Batory 's SZJ,rvey will rget students'views on°-, int bookstore MIKE SOBOLEWSKI AND ELLEPUZA Does the Wilkes-Barre community want to put int Wilkes and King's bookstore downtown ,. to pcreate a college town atmosphere?'Dr. Anne ·neman Batory, associate professor of Business inistration at Wilkes University, was asked to duct a market feasibility survey at Wilkes to out what our students think about a combined kstore at Pubic Square. The proposed bookstore is to be at the Public are Commons building on Market Street. The kstore is likely to carry supplies that would Wilkes and King's students make it through ·r college days, as well as licensed products for n State, Misericordia and Luzerne County munity College. Dr. Batory is getting assistance from three cnts in her consumer behavior class, Maureen , Eric Pucilowski and Joseph Russo. Cheryl ese, management analyst for Wilkes will also t. The technique that will be used to get a crosstional sample will be the common hour Wilkes University Shoppe ique. The survey will be handed out to all students who have class at a certain time on a certain day, with the ission of the instructor. This way every.student who has class at that time will have an opportunity to fill out the survey. The survey, hDr. Batory plans to distribute in the near future, will.address topics such as parking at the proposed bookstore, venience for on-campus students as well as commuters, and what the.students want. There is also an open ended tion for students to give there personal opinions. Dr. Batory said she, "would really like the students to take this survey very seriously, because it is for the nts benefit and the future of making Wilkes-B arre a college town." The next step in developing the downtown college bookstore will take place at a meeting with the sentatives of-Wilkes, King's College and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Wilkes-Barre. At a later another survey will be conducted to find out if students would be interested in an Internet Cafe or an ice cream Campus expresses ixed reactions By MIKE SOBOLEWSKI AND NOELLEPUZA . Special to the Beacon To build or not to build a joint bookstore for the students of Wilkes and King ' s seems to be the question of the semester. The idea for this joint bookstore came from Wilkes-Barre city officials, the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Wilkes-Barre representatives and members of Wilkes University and King's College. This collegiate center would provide a social environment that could bring students from both colleges together. The joint bookstore could also attract more shoppers to the downtown business area. A shuttle service is also being discussed. This would be especially important to students during the first week of the semester when they do most of their purchasing. But there is a a downside to all of this bookstore generated enthusiasm. If the bookstore is not going to benefit the students then the Wilkes administration does not want to be part this project. Because of this, the developing plans for the new Wilkes student uriion building, which could house a bookstore, are on hold until -this bookstore issue is resolved. Paul O'Hop, vice president for business and auxiliary enterprises stated, "I am looking for the wisdom and truth of objectivity from the students." It is now up to you to make the decision. �News The Beacon _Page 2 -September 19, 19 Smart Vote '96 prepares studen~ for upcoming electio time voters are especially By JEN JORDAN welcome.

It can happen anywhere. Yesterday, it happened at Happy Valley. At 9 a.m., a suicidal 19-year-old State College resident opened fire at the center of Penn State University's campus. In a matter of seconds, Jillian Robbins' pulled out a high-powered ritle, killi_ng a female student and wounding another unsuspecting victim. But the story doe.snot stop there. Though this incident happened on a campus where about 40,000 students attend, no one is secure. We may think we're safe. We may think we're invincible. But unforeseen tragedies prove us wrong. Just last night, I lay in bed as sirens wailed in the background. Earlier in the evening in the Insalaco ' s supermarket plaza, a man was repeatedly stabbed in the upper body for just $10 in food stamps. The scary part -- the stabbing occurect just across the street from where I live. While in college, many of us think we can escape the so-called "real world." But college, no matter where it's located, is a microcosm in itself. We need to realize that we are not safe no matter where we go. It's imporatnt to always be on guard. Obviously no one could have helped the situation which occu.rred at Penn State University, And unfortunately, that's a sad thing. But what we can do is enjoy what we have while it lasts. Just this week I realized how quickly these past few years have flown. And I ask myself, what do I have to show for it? My advice to you, don' t look back on what could' ve been. Don't look foward to what could be. Stop and live for today. It may be your last chance. means Working you can __________ '.'}} 1lacintosh.

He pfoceeded to spend the next three to four hours explaining to me the progression of chords. He showed me in thirds how to play up and down the scale. He demonstrated seventh's and ninth' s. In a very short pe1iod of time he had me playing the piano by using the .guitar chords on a piece of sheet music. Was I playing the piano? Of course not! Neither is the person whom I have manipulated through a performance truly acting. It is an insult to any artist to not have his craft taken seriously. It is only those who are unaware of the craft of acting who erroneously assume a craft does not exist•. My business is huge. There are many job opportunities available. The wonderful . thing about my craft is once you have committed yourself to it, it will take you where you belong. I have had students who are now producers, directors, casting directors,,make-up and set designers, writers, directors of photography. I have doctors and lawyers who are now specializing in show business. I have actors on TV, in the Movies , on Broadway and Off, on National Tours, in Regional Theatres. All are making very good livings. Some are making exceptional livings. ,The thing is you cann•ot be lazy and be in my business. The people· who do not achieve their goals are either lazy, not motivated or ignorant of what steps to take to guarantee a career. I teach people the latter, the first two are strictly up to them. But isn t that true of any field. If you have had a dream that may sound like what I have been talking about but because of pre-concieved ideas, yours onomeone else's, you have been afraid to pursue them, give me a call, x4433, and we can talk about it. Do not let a misunderstanding of a craft keep you from fulfilling a dream.

TENTION: Page 5 On the Oth er Hand ... with Sue McCarty While the joys of starting a new semester can often be compared to a four-hour visit to your oral surgeon, nothing can prepare you for the dubious exhilaration of starting that semester in ·a new college. · In my case, the term culture shock is a slight understatement. Because I started my recent career in the hallowed halls of higher learning at a slightly later age than most students (I remember watching the Beatles' first visit to New York City on the news. Live.}, any trepidation I felt on the first day of classes a couple of thousand years ago was surpassed only by the fact that I knew I was working with a few less million brain cells (not necessarily chemically induced) than the rest of the students. Although being the "new guy on campus" is obviously a different experience at a two-year college with a student body of over 7,000, the feeling of being a stranger in a strange land (something I almost remember from the late 60's) doesn' t usually last right up until the day of graduation. I hope. Relax freshmen - you've only got 3.75 years to go. Being on a campus full of kids who basically know, live, eat, study, work, and (uh) occasionally sleep with each other (not in the coed dorms, of course) is like dealing with a whole different breed of animal-even though I've been familiar with the campus itself since I was a kid (yes, once) here in Wilkes-Barre. For years I've dispassionately watched the annual hordes of out-of-towners descend on the city, tramping up and down the streets of the campus, skittering in and out of the buildings with their parents while clutching reams of brochures, schedules and newly purchased Wilkes paraphernalia (don ' t ask) in their eager little hands. Every available apartment in the immediate vicinity would suddenly come alive with the sounds of Led Zeppelin and Vanilla Fudge and the sights of peace signs, Zig-Zag man posters, and American flags being used as curtains ... oops - uh- sorry ... I meant to say Nirvana and Alanis (ugh) Mcirisette and bed sheets and beer signs. This year I get a taste of their (your) reality. It's a whole different feeling to be walking on the campus instead of merely by it on the wav to town. It's a whole different experience to have to actually enter and learn the names of the buildings I've been familiar with for as long as I can remember. And it"s a whole different sensation to be glanced at, cataloged and dismissed as one of those eccentric older types who really have no business being on this campus unless they have a clerical or food service career in mind. But I digress - often; and whine - occasionally. (Being an equal opportunity dissident, I wouldn't be opposed to any ideas or complaints from other students-I love a good cause.) The great thing about doing a column, however, is having the chance to vent. Those of you (three) who may be familiar with my writing know that, and some even have the intestinal fortitude to come back for another look. Those of you (most) who aren't - well - you'd be surprised what you can acquire a taste for... snails ... octopus ... Taking on the monumental task of transferring to another college at this point in my life is only.en.hanced by the knowledge that I actually volunteered to write for yet another student newspaper. Meeting deadlines, conjuring up material for a column every few days, while writing lengthy papers and studying for tests is only enhanced by the fact that I now (tenuously) hold down a full time job and know the indescribable pleasure (insanity) of being a parent of four (disgusting, isn't it?) kids, two of whom managed to survive my tender ministrations long enough to be considered ~ ahh - your age. I always used to wonder why so many people from this area wanted to go away to college when there were several perfectly good ones right here. Now that I've successfully (or not) completed several hundred years of parenting, I understand. And I fully encourage it. I heard the University of Nevada, Las Vegas has excellent programs and a great campus. My daughter should be getting the brochures any day now.

Hot 97 radio nality, Mark McCarthy promotions assistant Stephen Gionta were on-hand to MC the event, as well as give out several prizes donated by the sponsors. The line-up of competitors in this year's tournament represented a varied musical spectrum, but they all came to the square for one purpose: to s_hine the brightest. From Penn State Wilkes-Barre was the "Blue House Band," hailing from Luzerne County Community College was "Chair in the Moon" and representing King's College was "Civil Khaos." Finally, performing for Wilkes was "Bedford." "Bedford," an indie-punk trio is no stranger to band tournaments. Last year, they took the belt in the Wilkes' Battle of the Bands. "Bedford" consists of senior art/education major Phil Price (lead vocals/bass), senior art major Chris Sleboda (vocals/guitar) and LCCC freshman, Ed Oieda (drums, vocals). The band, which has been together for over a year, has played in clubs and punk/ hard-core shows across Northeast and Central Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. They have also performed at the Budlight Amphitheater at Harvey's Lake. Following the show, the audience and band members paraded to the Ramada Hotel, to await the announcement of the winning band. At-'1e mixer, a variety of refreshments were generously provided by the Downtown Association. While the anxious audience munched on fresh veggies, mini-egg rolls and pizza, one of the members of the judging panel announced that "Chair in the Moon" took first place. Phil Price, of "Bedford" said, '"Chair in the Moon' is very talented and dese1ved to win. The most important thing was that the event happened and was positive." Overall, the event seemed to go over .well with public and students alike. Price thought the '.'All College Band Blast" was a very positive event for the community. Price noted, "it was important because WilkesBarre really needs to recognize students as assets, not liabilities." Amy Ellis, a Wilkes freshman, agreed with Price by noting, "I think WilkesBarre hosting an event like this was a great way to tum th_e area into the college Mecca for local students. It was also a great way to mesh students of all backgrounds together, giving them a common bond, which was to enjoy the music, instead of rivalry." The "All College Band Blast" was just one example of how the students can come together to create a better atmosphere in the city.

Wilkes cheerleaders earn national recognition By ERIN LOFTUS Special to the Beacon This past summer, four members of the Wilkes cheerleading squad had the opportunity to participate in the United Cheerleading Associ~tion camp held at Rutgers University. For four days, Steff Follmer, Megan Hunter, Missy Rasnick, and Heather Tahan learned new cheering techniques, made new acquaintances and were able to get to know each other on a closer basis. The camp, which featured approximately 30 schools, allowed the Wilkes f~ursome to inter.act with much larger schools such as ·Syracuse University and Georgeto~n University. Along with learning new material and making new friends, all squads were evaluated. Each squad performep one cheer, one sideline, and one dance and were then awarded ribbons based on their performance. A blue ribbon was the highest honor given followed by red and then white ribbons. The Wilkes goal was to achieve at least one blue ribbon, but they greatly surpassed their goal and earned not one, but six, blue ribbons. And although this was a remarkable accomplishment, the best was yet to come. On the last day of camp, only two trophies were awarded to the two squads who improved the most throughout the duration of the four days. The Wilkes squad was one of the two squads to receive this trophy. An impressive mark for the squad that aimed to win just one blue ribbon. A new season has started for.the cheering squad which has grown considerably in number thanks in large part to the freshman class. Heather Tahan said that the squad is looking forward to a great year and should only becorn'e better with tht>ix new additions. • •• •••••• •••••••••••••••••••••••• ces volle yball e part in the ley Tournam t1g IBPI INTERSTATE BLOOD & PLASMA, INC.

Semptember 12, 1996 NEWS Page 4 Upcoffling Campus Events for -The Talmud "I'll take care of it. I'li get to it as soon as possible. I'll handle it, whenever I get the chance." These are just a few of the many excuses we make to avoid tackling a project. Whet~er the project is as mundane as washing your car, as complicated as writing the first draft of your tenn paper, as dreadful as going to aerobics or even as pleasant as calling home, we tend to put things off until a later date; otherwise known as procrastinating. Procrastinate, as defined in the Random House Webster's College Dictionary can be defined as 1. to defer action; delay 2. to put off till another day or time; defer; delay. · Listed directly beneath the definition, I wouldn't be surprised if you found the phrase most college students. For instance, every week I know well in advance that my editorial is due by Tuesday at 4 p.m. Yet each weekend comes and goes and it isn't until Tuesday evening that I actually sit down to write it. But what I begin to realize is that not only have I put off doing my editorial, I haven't yet paid my bills or called home - the anxiety of too much to do continues. Soon, my projects begin to pile up like dirty laundry and all I'm left with is a big mess of complications. Does this sound familiar to any of you? Think about some of the projects you've been putting -off. Can they really wait this long to be attended to? What would make life easier for you other than a new car, a million dollars or possibly a new mate? Try writing out a To Do list each and ·every morning when you awaken. And when you finish each project, highlight it on your list so you know you can finally put one thing aside. Sometimes it's even helpful to put little · reminders on post it pads and hang them around your house ' or office. When the list stares you in the face each time you use the bathroom, sooner or later you'll b_e annoyed enough to start that most anticipated project. Begin to eliminate the pQrase "I'll get around to it." Why put yourself under more stress by avoiding projects which will soon need accomplishing? All it takes is a little time and attention on your part to scratch those complications off your list.

Smee this 1s my hrSt column of the year, I'd just like to quickly say i" to the Wilkes community, which includes all returning students and also the. biggest shman class ever. I'd also like to ask everyone to please bear with me, because not ly is this my first column of the year, it's also the first time I've written for The eacon. When the editor of The Beacon suggested that I pick up a column to fill in some the white space left behind by graduating senior members of the newspaper staff, I ped at the opportunity. But there's only one problem with writing a weekly column. Yes, you guessed it: hat the hell to write about week after week. I'll be honest. Although there are a few (and lieve me, some would say many) conditions at Wilkes which merit complaining, I don't ant to just sit here and bitch for a full year. Granted, I might complain some of the time, t I don't want this column to be a list of complaints, week after week. I know there's a million other topics I could write about, such as politics,' economics, e state of the union ... whatever. I'm sure the "real world," as many of our professors I it, can offer many interesting topics. But another thing I don't want to do is get up on soap box and lecture on why you should vote for one person and not the other. Vote for hoever the hell you want to. In my opinion, both Clinton and Dole are idiots, and I don't en know why I bothered to register to vote this year. .As far as economics and the state the union ... enough said. I guess you could say that I really don't know where this column is headed just yet. ut I do know one thing. I want people to enjoy it. I'd like to make some of you laugh, me of you angry and a lot of you think. I'd like to be reacted to, whether it be in a sitive or a negative manner. If you like what you read, let me know. If I piss you off, let know. In this age of technology, my e-mail address has got to be around here mewhere. Let me know what you think. A newspaper column can only be as teractive as its readers. · Well, I've babbled enough for this week. In addition to welcoming everyone back, I'd like to wish everyone at Wilkes, students and staff alike, luck and success as the new demic vear kicks off. e-mail address: rtym@wilkes.edu Beacon 192 South Franklin St., W-B, PA 18766 Hollenback Hall , 2nd floor Main# (717) 831-5000 x2962 Fax# (717) 831-5902 Wilkes University's Weekly Student Publication Editor-in-Chief - Regina Frappolli News Editor - Colleen Herron Features Editor - Christine Gaydos Sports Editor~ Michael Noone Photo Editor - David Parfitt Copy Editor - Glenda Race Copy Editot - Toni Oden Business & Advertising Editor - Chris Court Subscription Manager - Michael Beachem MAC Technician - Chris Court Distribution Manager - Chris Courtffoni Oden Advisor - Dana Alexander Nolfe what you, want, when you want it ...

Three friends and I ventured to Hershey, PA to attend the event we'd been anticipating all summer: The Live concert. At this show, we were introduced to the moshpit. As sweat trickled off our sweltering bodies, we were thrust back and forth between total strangers. Mashed between massive amounts of other Live fans , my friends and I were totally absorbed by the scene. All the Live fans were one, as the group presented a spectacular, powerful performance. Nothing else could fill us with such a rush. Nothing else could be more exciting than being part of this screaming, hot and anxious crowd . ...Or could it? · · After the show, the departing traffic was horrendous. We opted to wait by our car to let the traffic die down before we left. Then my bladder hinted that I had to relieve myself, so back to ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ •.,.__________;;;;;;;;;..;;;;;;;;;;.;========= ■ ■ Donna and Al, a weird combination. •the station we went. A bathroom we found not, but an open gate to the field caught our eye. There he was! Amidst the litter, torn-up clothes, lost shoes and cigarette butts left ■ from the mosh-pit was Ed Kowalczyk, the lead singer of Live. : That day began my "obsession" with meeting stars. Ever since my encounter with Ed, I vowed to at least attempt to get backstage at each concert I attended. ■ The next lucky group to sign my glossy photograph was Little Texas. Yes, after living in Tulsa, Oklahoma for four years, I have grown to be a country fan . I talked my way :backstage when they performed at Montage during the summer of '95 . The six country boys were extremely friendly and talkative. Much more so than Ed. : Do I have to mention where I saw the next group? Okay, I won't. I saw Collective Soul at that private college a few blocks away on November 16th. Again, I was in the ■mosh-pit, which wasn't as rowdy as Live's. This time I floated. This was quite an experience. The chilly November evening did not stop us from waiting for someone famous :to walk.out of the door after the concert. Around midnight, the band Rust, who opened for Collective Soul made their exit. Of course they stopped to talk to us and sign the scrap 1 •paper we found in the bottoms pocket of our heavy ski jackets. At that time, I had never heard of Rust before, but they were down to earth and fun . Now, they are making it 1 ■ ■pretty big and I frequently play their album, Bar Chord Ritual. Collective Soul bassist, Will Turpin also passed by to scribble his autograph, although he was not as friendly , :as the opening act. ■ I never thought I would meet Weird Al Yankovic, let alone at one of his concerts. When I found out he was coming to the Kirby Center in May, I figured he would be a :riot in concert, so a friend and I bought tickets. I was right. The concert was absolutely side-splitting and very enjoyable. My friend and I were dancing and•singing along with •the master of song parody having a grand old time. Of course, our endeavor was to meet Yankovic was successful, although we waited outside the Kirby with about 30 other ■ ■fans for well over an hour. Weird Al. along with his nuttv band were verv pleasurable to speak with. Yankovic was probably the nicest famous person I've encountered. Mind :you, I did not say normal. · • · Friday, August 23 was the last official day of my summer. It was the best day of the summer for me. My pal Jenn took me along to see her all-time favorite group in concert ■ . • at the Kirby center. You might remember the Nickelodeon re-runs: The Monkees . Okay, so our mothers worshiped them, but they were truly excellent in their revival tour. Of :course, Jenn had the best seats in the house! Front and center, we danced and sang along to classic hits of their television show. Then, Dave Jones, once the sex symbol of millions ■of teenage girls, performed a solo song, "Girl." Before the song, he spoke about Marcia Brady. Jenn and I instantly shot up and began doing the Marcia Brady dance. (You know :the _one! She had the entire high school gym doing it in "Brady Bunch: The Movie") Davey acknowledged us with a smile, then a chuckle. What happened next is way too good :to be true: He invited us on stage to dance with him. So together, Jenn, Davey and I grooved to "Girl." Totally exhilarating! People were cheering for us. It was just absolutely ■incredible! Just when we thought things were as cool as they could get, a roadie handed us each a backstage pass for the "Meet and Greet" after the show. So we got to hang : out with Davey Jones, Peter Tork, and Mickie Dolenz. What a way to end the summer! They were all pretty cool. Davey autographed my backstage sticker, "To Marcia...

Some ofmy friends just think that I have a pure obsession .with the stars and label me as a "groupie." Whatever they call me, I am extremely overwhelmed by my brushes with the rich, the famous and the admired. Whatever it may be, :a simple twist of fate or just pure luck, I have made some wonderful, exciting memories. Hopefully, I will have many more rendezvous with celebrities.

Bigler helped to put a new station on the air in Washington, PA in 1942. In the summer of 1942 Bigler enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corp. After he served in WWII from 1942-1945 he returned home from the war in time to · help shape the new medium of television in this region. He began as Program Director at WHWL (now WNAK), then moved to WILK-TV until ifrnerged with WARM-TV to become WNEP-TV. In 1962 he joined WNEP-TV as its News Director, leaving in 1966 to become the News Director at · WBRE-TV. He retired from WBRE in 1986 with the title of Vice President of News President of News and Public Affairs. From 1962 until his retirement from WBRE in 1986, Torn Bigler wrote and delivered award-winning editorials. Four generations of residents grew up hearing Bigler use the power of progressive journalism to speak for those in our communities who have little voice in shaping their own destinies. In 1986 he joined the staff of the Wilkes-Barre "Times Leader" as a daily columnist. In 1987 he resigned from their staff with the commitment to write two columns per week. Professor Bigler never considered teaching as a profession. In 1986 through the generosity of his friends, an endowed chair was started in his honor in the department of communications. "Teaching," according to Bigler, "is the greatest challenge that I have ever faced. Education is a multifaceted effort, not only do you teach students a craft or trade, but also integrity, social responsibility, and respect for fellow people." Even after all these years Bigler is still learning from his students. "The students are why I am here every day. They keep me up on what is relevant and current. They make me push to do better, and think about what I am doing." Bigler is a man that , according to communications professor Dr. Jane Elrnes-Crahall, "looks to the common good and sacrifices individual gain." He is a trusted . colleague and friend to many. Dr. Bradford Kinney, chair of the Communications Department describes working with Mr. Bigler as a pleasure. "He brings the professional business world life experience to the academic world. His · experience in the professional world makes him a valuable resource in teaching what the world is like," says Kinney. Students who take classes with Bigler come away with a better understanding of the communications field. He teaches his students that the quality of the story is the most important factor. Kalen Churcher, a senior communications major, feels that, "Bigler offers the students so much more than a book can. He is full of knowledge and willingly gives it to students." Members of the WilkesBarre community have recognized Torn Bigler for his many contributions to the area. He was awarded and honorary Doctorate of the Humanities from King's College in 1983. Ten ):.ears later, and 50 years after leaving Ithaca College, at the age of 71 Bigler received a B.A. in Communications. For over a decade Bigler has been drawing on his 50 years· of professional experience in broadcast journalism and a lifetime or civic leadership to teach, advise and inspire his students. His students join .members of the community in congratulating him for being honored by the Ethics Institute of Northeast PA. ilkes and WOW! 4 seasons stron g "WOW! is an excellent opportunity for children from the region to participate in adventures in learning and at the same time be a part of a live television shoot," states Dr. Polachek.

The return of senior quarterback Damon "Boo" Perry will provide the Colonels with experienced leadership on offense. Perry missed all of the season with a back injury after leading Wilkes'to the Division III national playoffs in 1993 and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference playoffs in 1994. Perry, 23-6-1 as starter in his career, has thrown for a Wilkes record 4,909 yards and 40 touchdowns in his career. The Colonels also have the added luxury of an experienced backup quarterback. Sophomore Neil Rine threw for the third best single yardage total in school history with 2,258 yards last season when he replaced the injured Perry. Rine also set a school record for passing yards in a single season with 363 yards and was ECAC South Rookie of the Week four times.

Local area newspapers have recently reported that the faculty at LCCC is presently working without a contract. According to Thomas Moran, LCCC president, instructors are operating on a revised three year contract that expired August 31, 1996. "Right now the faculty is working on a ·day-to-day basis. The _college is willing to work in conjunction with the umon tor a peaceful negotiation," he said. Moran added that work stoppage is not imminent and the first concern of both the college and the teachers is the students. James Paley, regional director for the State Bureau of Mediation, is the mediator ·between the college and the teachers. He said they will return to the bargaining table to resolve the remaining open .. issues within the week. Paley also said the priority issue is salary. At last week's negotiations the main issue was health care. Moran reported that the union managed to get a 35 percent health · care co-payment proposal "off the table" which means that the faculty will continue to have fully paid health care. He addressed the negotiating teams in favor of keeping the health care status quo. Other issues discussed were jo,b titles and early retirement. Approximately 50 LCCC graduates transfer to Wilkes University every year. Assistant Dean of Admissions at Wilkes, Joseph DeMelfi, said that a strike would not immediately affect Wilkes, but could in the future. "Students work on a timetable. If there's a strike at LCCC the students that wanted to transfer here in the spring would have that timetable thrown off. Hopefully, they will resolve their differences so it won't effect Wilkes dowll' the road," he said. Brian Overman, architecture coordinator and president of the LCCC teachers union, echoed the same concerns regarding the students. Overman said, "Our first concern is always with the students; that's why we're ~ere. We don't want to disrupt their semester. We're hoping to.settle as soon as possible, but if we can't come to an agreement there will be a strike." The unfortunate possibility of LCCC having to close its doors if a lingering strike does occur was disputed by the teachers' representative from the Pennsylvania State Education Association, Gloria Bartnicki. "A lot of things have to occur before that could happen. There has to be a clear and present danger that the students would miss too much of the semester, and tuition money has to be refunded. Then the college could go to court, seek an injunction to end the strike and force teachers to go back to work. It can get very complicated," said Bartnicki.

"For the seventh year in a row over 6,000 students are enrolled," said Leary. He added that none of the students have indicated · concern mailed incremental messages, letters, and informational brochures, coupled with a group of volunteer · student and university staff telecounselors who call interested parties and communicate with them on a personal basis. This year, Wilkes received 1800 applications. According to Vinovrski, selecting the right college is, at first, emotional. It then becomes realistic and practical. This service allows prospective students to build a relationship with experienced students and staff. "Most people are not aware that there is an elaborate, sophisticated community plan in effect to attract students to Wilkes University," he said, "and this plan is working." Vinovrski said a similar program will be available for transfer students next year. Statistics show that n approximately 77% of last year's freshmen returned to Wilkes for their sophomore year. Michael Noife, Coordinator, Student Activities, said it's important, from the students perspective, to offer a wide variety of entertainment, clubs, social activities, and sports in order to keep them interested and involved in college life, but the students have to let the staff and faculty know where their interests lie . "The more they get involved, the more we can offer them in the way of activities," he said . "It's important to try to create a vibrant campus atmosrhere for the students." For the nc.,n-traditional students, Nolfe said certain program times could be altered so those with families and other responsibilities won ' t have to come back to the campus at night. According to Nolfe, students should take an interest in what the college has to offer outside of the classrooms such as the student government, the off-campus council, and the various clubs and organizations at Wilkes. 1 �ptember 5, 1996 EDITORIAL PAGE ollege town, U.S.A.

There are a couple of things that we want you to be aware of: 1) First, your yearbook cost is included in your tuition, so don't forget to pick up your edition. Since you paid for your yearbook already, this gives us all the more reason to ask you for your assistance in making your yearbook special. ' 2) The 1995 yearbook is finished (in fact, it was finished last spring). Juniors and Seniors who have not picked up their copies may do so during the Amnicola meeting time on Tuesdays from 11 :30-12:30 p.m. at Hollenback Hall (across from the library). 3)The 1996 yearbook is in production. This edition should be out by the end of the fall semester or early spring semester. 4) The Amnicola staff is looking for new members. Story writers, sports writers, layout designers, artists, business managers, etc. are all needed to help make the 1997 book the best ever. If you are interested, please stop by our office on Tuesday from 11 :30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m: 5) There will be a new photography staff set up to take pictures for the Amnicola. If you are interested in just taking pictures, but do not plan to be a permanent staff member of the Amnicola, please contact Mike Beachem, Amnicola Photography Editor at ext 5043 {on campus or 831-5043 off campus) or e-mail: beachemt@wilkesl.wilkes.edu. An interest meeting is scheduled for Thursday, September 12th at 11 a.m. in the Amnicola Office (second floor Hollenback Hall). 6) Also, ·the AmnicoJa will accept candid pictures taken by faculty, staff and students of events or friends on campus. Please note that we may not be able to use all the pictures submitted. Also, please submit print doubles because pictures may not be returned. Make sure your name and address is on the back of the photo. To submit a photo, place in an . envelope and send to: Box 54 c/o Michael Beachem, Amnicola Photography Editor. 7) Dorm photos will be taken on Sunday, September 15th at the Alumni House. See your RA for the time and more detailed information. 8) Finally, I need to have some feedback from the underclassmen (freshmen, sophomores and juniors). You may respond to me by snail mail: Box 54, e-mail, or through a letter to the Beacon. · · I need_ to hear from you soon concerning a certain issue. !w ant to know how you feel about havmg underclass formal pictures taken like they do in many high school yearbooks. I have found that many colleges are including formal pictures and label the secti~ns 1st year, 2nd yea~, 3rd year, etc. to eliminate ~e confusion of students in the 5 or 6 year · progra?1s. Wilkes has never done this because the interest was not there.years ago. Thmgs do chan~e, and I want to know what your opinion is now. Personally, I think formal underclass pictures are a good idea because we would be able to include commuter students (in the past they have been excluded since we have only pictured underclassmen in dorm and apartment photos). It would also feature students who missed their dorm photos. Dorm and apartment photos would still be taken and incorporated into the layout of the underclass section. I have s~o_ken with our photography consultant, Davour Photo Inc., and they said they would be willmg to set up a photo session if the interest was there. Please let me know what you think ASAP.

Reynolds was an established merchant with an excellent. reputation. The bricks were carefully chosen and shipped fro m Philadelphia. The building was fashioned to follow traditional New England style. Elijah Reynolds sold the home to his brother, William Ghampion Reynolds, who was a prominent businessman active in_political affairs. Four generations of the Reynolds family lived in the home before it was sold to Wilkes College in 1957. The home was renamed in honor of the artist, George Catlin (17961872) who had a reputation for his controversial work. Catlin was born in Wilkes-Barre and was educated to be an attorney. However, his true love was art. Catlin produ_ced hundreds of sketches and paintings depicting the American Indian. His journals and art works have been used as resources to learn about American Indian life and culture.

Escort service offered By AMY CONNELLY Beacon Staff Writer ----------------------------------The Wilkes University Security Department has been running a vehicle escort service. It began on March 28 and runs between the hours of 4:45 pm and 6:00 am daily.· The vehicle is a four wheel Cushman -Tram that can transport up to five passengers on each trip. "The service is available to all members of the Wilkes community upon request," said Gerald Cookus of the Wilkes Security Department. "You can arrange for an escort by calling security at ext. 4999." ·. . Many other colleges and universities use such services with great success. These trams are helpful in getting around a college campus. "The tram at Wilkes has been used, but not heavily," said Cookus. An example of this service may be transporting groups to the Park and Lock Garage on Main Street from various locations on campus . The students, faculty, and staff at Wilkes can use this service whenever they need a ride, on, or near campus. r -- --- _---- ---- - --- - - - ---- - - -----~ : Learning disabilities discussed-: Education Club , invited have been identified.

Letters to the Editor 'f I ' .;i f "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but . . nothing can be changed until it is faced:" -James Baldwin What is it that we don't like about change? Are we fearful of the unfamiliar or does the threat of failure cause us anxiety? Too often, our minds are locked on one set track and in seeing only black and white we leave no room for the shade of gray. In adapting one set pattern, I've come to learn that while taking the time to ·stare at the closed doors beh_ind us, we sometimes don't realize the many windows of opportunities that have opened before us. We tend to believe that better possibilities are non-existent, so we settle for the hum-drum of our everyday lives-hoping, waiting and anticipating. Yet in that time, what we come to find out is that by resisting change, life becomes boring and tedious. A person who hardly ever changes begins to function more as a robot or a machine than a human being with feelings and . emotions. Everyone needs a certain taste of newness, excitation and freshness in their lives. To experience this, you can start by looking at the familiar people and places in your life in a different light. For instance, instead of viewing exams as a time of stressful endeavors, look beyonq to the beginning of summer._When you walk past Capin Hall and come upon Mr. Fenner' s bright red and yellow tulips, stop and take in the delic :e beauty of the changing seasons. And walking through, mpus, watch closely those bask in pleasure _a t the fresh air 1d bright sun. Life is too short to dwell on the past feeling shame and contempt, or to dread the future feeling anxiety and apprehension. Change is everywhere. It's fresh, clean and full of possibilities. Accept it, don' t run and hide. So I close this year in saying that to simply live, is a wonderful privilege in itself. Take the time to smell the roses, the change might do you good.

April 25, 1996 Letters to the Editor g~ulelines: . o the Editor: . Letters should include you'; I'd like to respond to the two lab attend;mts who name and phone number. commented on the computer s~rvey article in the last issue of They should be no longer the Beacon. First of all, the intent of the article was to than 250 words and must be identify areas of student concern for making a student's signed in order. to be printed. Letters will be printed in the learning experience in the computer lab as user friendly and order they are received, and efficient as possible. The fact of the matter is that students as must be submitted by 5 pm on well as myself identified several areas of deficiencies within the Tuesday prior to publicathe computer labs. Let me be more definitive in my tion. observations and factual information regarding these issues. New Policy: It is the policy of The Beacon not First, computer documentation is non-existent in all of to a/Jer any submitted letters. our microcomputer labs in the COB. Do we see any evidence Grammatical errors are those of of SPSS, MINITAB, SAS , PASCAL, C, or FORTRAN theauJhor. manuals? If so, tell me where they are? The point I'm trying to establish is that both faculty and students need this institution and quality research are truly viable objectives of this institution. In the business school meeting and at a departmental meeting both this year and last year. Yet nothing was done to accommodate our business student' s needs. With attrition rates· within the School of Business that are doubled the National Average, it is unwise to ignore students and faculty concerns when these issues are thoroughly justified and easily attainable. If we are truly concerned with student attrition, isn't this a plausible problem that we should resolve. Furthermore, the administrative "leadership" within the School of Business knows fully well that Corporate America is requiring more computer literate employees than ever before. So doesn't it follow that our administrative efforts be directed toward increasing our student's computer literacy skills rather than discouraging this growth? Secondly, why not provide our computer lab assistants with the needed expertise required for fulfilling the expectations of their position. Student assistants could receive their skill training during the month of August. For example, at the U. of Cincinnati computer lab attendants are not onlv trained for their positions but are scheduled according to their expertise. Students with specific questions know when their problems c~n be properly addressed by the designated attendants. Third, no one more than I, recognizes the lack of funding currently available for academic computing. In spite of the lack of adequate resources over the last 5 years, Gus Stangline has certainly performed a superhuman task. Since a $100 dollar technology fee is collected yearly from our 1700 full time students and generates revenues in excess if 170000, why not designate a portion of the $170000 to Gus Stangline so that he can provide the necessary resources for both students and faculty. With $170000 of revenues generated -yearly, I'm still dumbfounded as to why students are assessed 10 cents per copy for printing on our laser printers. Aren't our students entitled to something beyond the privilege of utilizing the computer hardware? The fourth point I'd like to address is to the lab attendants who took exception to the news article which I, please note, didn't author. However, reference was made to 'My Expectations' of a NASA type microcomputer lab at Wilkes. The next time either of you are out and about visit a microcomputer lab at either Scranton and/or Lehigh Universities. In both setting you will see either a help desk or a resource center for students to receive ·software assistance or to check out needed documentation. Do you realize that the U. of Scranton has in excess of 20 professionals and/or lab attendants serving their students in academic computing? Until this year Wilkes had but one professional-Gus Stangline acting in this capacity. There is an old adage that is worth noting: "Anything that one has never experienced one never misses." The bottoiJ? line is that the scc,pe and depth of .academic computer services at Wilkes must be increased. We are attempting assistance to students completing Math 115, students who have not taken Math 114 and students who are not up to speed using recent Micro Computer applications. In order to intelligently respond to these needs, documentation of "productivity" and advanced software packages are essential, thus an expanded technology staff is needed to address these requirements. Finally, I'd like to state that if Dr. Breiseth believes in making Wilkes University a school that is perceived as a quality institution, he will judiciously resolve these issues. We must recognize that in previous years Wilkes has been overly dependent upon the RCRC labs and the generosity of Dr. Bellucci in fulfilling its commitment to computer technology. It is now time for this University to step up and assume its responsibility for directing, funding and planning the future of academic computing and becoming more autonomous in all computer related matters.

" . .. he acknowledged that the generation of young people now entering the work force is generally perceived as apathetic ... ," the reporter wrote. Of course, the type of apathy Mailer was referring to is far too broad to adequately examine in the space I'm · provided, but for one example, one has to look no further than our political participation. - Statistics say few of us vote. But I will waste any space encouraging anyone to vote. I despised MTV's "Rock the Vote" campaign during the 1992 Presidential race. It might have motivated thousands of uneducated voters to run to the polls. The only remedy for poor political participation I found more appalling was the "motor-voter" bill, which allows oversimplified registration·. Voter registration was as easy as it should have been before this measure was put on the table. The apathy that is most disturbing is not the apathy that keeps so few Generation X' ers from voting. The apathy that is most disturbing is the apathy that results in so many fewer members of our generation making any attempt to understand the issues at hand-issues that have impacted and will continue to impact our lives . While giving my father's Zenith remote control a workout-a few months ago, I made a brief stop at MTV. The brevity of the stop resulted from the frightening scene that soon appeared. An MTV reporter was on a man-onthe-street assignment, surveying young adults about their voting habits. Not surprisingly, a sparse few said they had never made it to the polls. The reporter proceeded to ask one group why they hadn ' t voted. The response: They didn ' t know how to register. The response provoked a segment in which the reporter takes the group to the local office of voter registration and instructs them how to complete the simple form. The same individual who could not even figure out how to register to vote is now expected to make an intelligent decision on election day. Doubtful. There is an old adage regarding lousy voter turnout. "If you don't vote, you are voting for the winner," the adage says. An educated voter who avoids the pools on election day does himself a great disservice. An uneducated voter who makes sure he casts a vote does a great disservice to everyone else.

Students are talking about outdated versions of application software such as Windows, Microsoft Word, Minitab, and especially Lotus. Students pay a technology fee of $100 per year. What is this money being used for? Was any of this money for the two computer labs in COB that are constantly locked and unused? I feel this money should be used to train lab assistants and update software. Special attention should be given when hiring students as lab assistants. I understand that the lab has to be monitored for security reasons, but as the University continues to use people as security guards and babysitters, then let's take away the title of "lab assistant". Is it fair to give someone a good job, that looks good on a resume when they have no idea of what they are doing. Scott Schwabe l To the Editor: Were you ever typing a paper when all of a sudden your screen froze and you had to start all over? Or were you ever in a hurry to check your email and waited for the computers in COB to boot up only to find out that you couldn't access the internet? Or how about, trying to print without any success? These-were some of my undesirable experiences that took place especially in the brand new, state-of-the-art COB computer lab. However, my biggest frustration wasn't being able to print my statistics lab assignments done in Minitab, a program we use in the internet. The program? The printer in COB that would print minitab was not hooked up. It just sat there for a couple of weeks .•When I asked some of the lab attendants for help, some of them had not even heard of Mini tab! "Minitab? What's that?" But I don't want to be unfair. There was a way to print my labs, I was told. All I had to do was send the printing command to SLC 257 lab and "just" walk over to Stark (2nd or 4th floors) and pick up my printouts, that's all! However, it turned out not that simple-what happened was that my printouts didn't come out until late in the evening when the job was completed in the morning! At that point, I was very discouraged in doing my statistics lab assignments. What was supposed to be an experience for me became a frustration, for I didn't know what else would go wrong. That's when I decided that something had to be done. Thus, I teamed up with my statistics professor Dr. Ronald Schwartz to realize the 1996 computer survey that you've been hearing about lately. My intention was to find out from other students their level of satisfaction regarding our microcomputers labs. And if you realize that those are the feelings of 200 students who took this survey and not merely my opinion on this issue! The fact of the matter is that our computer labs are far from being accommodating to our students' needs. The survey is a proof that there is a lot of unsatisfaction regarding this service and all I ask is for this issue to be given proper attention it deserves, for how can one expect to survive in today's world without having access to technology?

The Beacon Staff bids you adieu! �Across Campus April 18, 1996 By CHRISTINE GAYDOS and MELANIE MARKEY · Beacon Features Editor and Beacon Staff Writer In an attempt to tame his mass of fiery red curls, Carrot Top popped out frombehind the lid of a large black trunk in a bright green baseball cap with bright yellow letters reading John Deere. Swinging his head in a circular motion, a matching yellow tassel appeared, and the comedian hit the crowd with a joke about the hat being a rural graduation cap. This was just one of the catalysts that caused a wacky storm of humor Sunday night at the Marts Center. His opening act was Mark Price, "Skippy" from Family Ties, and was a great zany comical antics. Price performed for half an hour, warming up the crowd and poking fun at his role on the popular 1980s sitcom. He also shared jokes about his family that the crowd obviously related to, judging by their chuckles. There was still fun left to be had, however. The main attraction was to appear momentarily. The wild-haired, grinning comic began without wasting any time. Within seconds, laughter buzzed throughout the gym as Carrot Top worked with his many props. Crazy colors and outrageous toys are just accessories to this grandiose young comic. The large stage was cluttered with his trunks of props, fog machines, and added to the spectacular show. A unique mix of comedy and music, Carrot Top's show was an excellent comical performance and a rock and roll show rolled into one. The end of his act was unforgettable as he, "modeled outfits that accompanied the music in a rock montage that ranged form Guns 'n Roses to Elton John, " claimed a Carrot Top fan. Carrot Top's brand of comedy brea:ks from the norm of regular stand-up comedians. A few of the favorite jokes were the use of an oversized dog bone as means of home security, hoping thieves would believe that an equally large dog resided at the home. Another favorite was a ·Multicultural Celebration By GLENDA RACE "Beacon Staff Writer On Monday April 22, at 8 pm the Kelileihua and Company Dancers brought the cultures of the Middle East, Tahiti, and Polynesia to Rumours . The first dances featured were from Morocco, and were followed by dances from Hawaii and other Polynesian cultures. One Hawaiian dance featured Meilami, whose name means "precious child." The following Hawaiian dance number "I am Going to the Island of Maui" featured three dancers, Kelileihua (a rare flower precious to the gods), Alohima:ki (bright eyes), and Kahalani , (heavenly dew). For this number the performers wore green: red and blue flowered dresses. Kelileihua was joined by her brother, Keilani (from the heavens) in performing a Venetian dance. The music background featured fast paced drumming and the dance included intricate steps, the costumes for the Venetian dances were very ornate with brightly colored headdresses and grass skirts. Page 7 The Beacon try to intimidate a pizza delivery person by wearing an identical outfit as theirs and mimicking each and every one of their moves. Comical critics have suggested that Carrot Top, "is a fresh new Gallagher of our generation." In this case, though, the audience had to wipe away their tears of laughter rather than pieces of smashed melons. The Montreal Gazette; in reference to a comedy festival held during the summer of 1993, called Carrot Top "an endearing mass of orange curls and hyperactivity, definitely the year's crowd pleaser ... he came closest of all festiv:al performers to causing mass convulsions of laughter in the aisles." His performance has touched all hysteria. While the show was most enjoyable, it didn't end when Ca:rrot Top walked off the stage. Both he and Mark Price came down to the floor to sign autographs and mingle with the crowd. "They were very cordial, and interested in speaking with the crowd," shared one of the audience members. Wfiile ticket sales may not have met expectations, a'. l truly enjoyed themselves at this weekend's performance.

At the end of the 1 presentation, members of the audience were invited to learn a Hawaiian dance to the song "Little Brown Gal."

"' Featuring: "Make Your Own Sundae" �Page 8 FEATURES April 18, 1996 Listen close for Dr. Elmes-Crahall By KATHLEEN SCHMUCKER Special to the Beacon This summer many students plan to relax without the sound of lecturing professors in their ears. Well, this may not be the case. _ Don't be surpised if you are changing the stations on the radio and you hear a familiar voice. The voice will be that of Dr. James Elmes-Crahall. Jane, as she is referred to by many students, has been asked to speak at the Chautauqua Institute and her speech will be carried on National Public Radio. The Chautauqua Institute, a national historic landmark, is one of the most historic summer centers for education and the arts in the United States. Founded in 1874, Chautauqua has been a major influence in our country, -reflecting and shaping the thought and the culture of our nation. Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall will be speaking on the Chautauqua Lecture Platform on August 16, during the 10:45 am time slot which has been labeled the most provocative lecture of the day. Following her delivery, , she will stand for 20 minutes of questioning from a very well informed audience. The lecture platform, held in the 5,0Q0 seat Amphitheater, has hosted nine United ~tates Presidents as well as other national and world leaders. Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall will find herself on the same platform that such famous orators as Frederick Douglass; Anna Dickinson and Mark Twain stood on. "It is a humbling experience, part of it is in the history of Chautauqua. In the 19th century to be a speaker at Chautauqua meant one was at the top. Orators in the 19th century were also entertainment stars. Chautauqua orators were agitative. They pushed for strong ethical justice and spoke-of political reform." A large number of the speakers at the modern day Cha~tauqua are authorities in their respective fields, most have published books on their area of study. Dr. ElmesCrahall feels that this is a challenge to her as an or:ator. She compares iJ to the Freshman level speech at college. "I teach public , speaking and political rhetoric, I also have published research but not books. I hope to be asked back. And, just as freshman year Speech 101 is the beginning of college, this is more of a career beginning, a new challenge. It is ncit a culmination of my career as a public speaker." Each week of lectures has a theme. The theme for the week Dr. Elmes-Crahall is scheduled to speak is "The Value of the Spoken Word." The title of her speech is "Rhetorical Savvy and Political Campaign Civility." Jane feels that this speech will carry over from what she teaches in the classroom, "I challenge students to get involved in the political process. The skills that are learned in debate and public speaking carry over. Students become better critical thinkers. They possess a more informed critical voice, which ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ AM NE SI A The Area's FRIDAY SAFE SIX It's all you can physically eat & drink from 9:30 pm-11 :30 pm for only $6.

Dr. Elmes-Crahall graduated from Bloomsburg -State College with a B.A. in Political Science and she received her Ph.D in Rhetoric and Communications from the University of Pittsburgh. Her doctoral research was on the role of gender in Geraldine Ferraro's 1984 vice-presidential campaign. She joined the Wilkes faculty in 1985 after serving _ as the director of forensics and chairperson of the Department of Speech, Communication and Theaterat Clarion University from 1974-1985. She and her husband, Brinley, reside in Larksville. So, as you are driving this summer and hear that familiar voice, turn the volume up as Jane speaks from the Chautauqua Lecture Platform.

Dr. John Gilmer, professor of Electrical Engineering at Wilkes will be attending the 43rd Annual National Security Forum, June 2-7 at the Air War College, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama. Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of the School of Science and Engineering was selected last year to participate. The forum is composed of 20 seminar groups of 11 US and foreign military Officers, Civilians, Government officials, and university faculty. The selection of any university official begins with a nomination that is reviewed and either chosen or rejected. The process is highly competitive and it is an honor to be selected. Gilmar was nominated by Lt. Colone~ Christopher F. Greco, of the ROTC department and eventually selected by the forum committee. When asked about the recent honor, Gilmar said that he, "feel[s] excited ...and is looking forward to it." �FEATURES April 18, 1996 *· ·-* ~·•-~~~ Aries (March 20-April 19) Be sure to keep an eye out for a surprise in your mailbox.

By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Beacon Sports Editor For the Wilkes University softball team, Saturday's home doubleheader against the Jersey Devils of FDUMadison has simple playoff implications: Win and you're in. Wilkes is coming off a week of doubleheader contests. Last Thursday, Wilkes split a pair of games with Drew University, losing 7-6 in game one and winning 9-1 in the nightcap. The Lady Colonels held a 4-2 lead going into the bottom of the sixth, when they allowed five runs. Wilkes, however, bounced back in the second game scoring nine runs over the last two innings. Steph Hastings went three-for-four with two RB I and two runs scored. Shannon O' Neil had two hits , while scoring two runs for the Lady Colonels. The doubleheader split made Wilkes 9-8 on the year, 6-2in the Middle Atlantic Conference Freedom League. Last Saturday, the Lady Colonels dropped a twin bill to Lycoming, losing 9-1 and 4-2 . . Both games saw strong pitching performances victimized by bad defense. In the first game, Amy Rosengrant allowed only two earned runs. Rosengrant struck out seven and walked one.

"It's Fas in Frank, R-A, two P's as in Peter and Paul, 0-L-L-I." And as many times as I have repeated th_ose J·umbled bunch ofletters, it's ·sad that I still have no idea what my surname really means. ' Everyday we scribble our last names'on tests and papers or call our friends by their last names. Yet it's amazing that few of us even know the origin or meaning behind that name. A surname is linked to us like a birthmark that will never go away. As a child, our name holds our place in line or the order of seating in our classroom. As· adults, we marry, and although the shared name may not always hold the marriage together, it instills a hopeful future for what may come. Since a male's last name never changes, he is fortunate to have the chance to pass his family name from generation to generation. And although women must leave that name ~hind, they are still linked with a past and a life that can never be forgotten. But how many of us really know what that past life is all about and how we arrived where we are today? Yes, it's very easy for me to categorize myself as Irish-Italian and some of you as Japanese, but ethnicity entails so much more. To some it may be letters on a name tag or a flag hanging in the front of the house. To others it means a lifestyle, a look, a feeling and a culture that can never be erased in our minds.

New Policy: It is the policy of The Beacon not to alter any submiJted letters. Grammatical errors are those of the author. To the Editor: I would like to make a point about Beacon staff writer Eric Freedland's March 28th front-page article on Rabbi Michaels' presentation of the film "From Dangers to Dignity: The Fight for Safe Abortion." Please note that I am not commenting on those issues to which Freedland's story refers but to his over-simplification as stated in the second line of the story: "People are either pro-life or pro~choice" (Vol. 48 No. 23, 1). Here is a sentence that makes no sense. Which people? Does "People" include me? No, because am neither "prochoice" nor "pro-life," nor are many other people; we are somewhere in between. Furthermore, I will not be tricked into using the terminology "pro-life" or "pro-choice," for these terms are loaded with implications. What remains of Freedland' s sentence once one strikes out the terms and the assumption People-areis the illogical-and impossible-oversimplification that all of us take one side or the other, when the truth is that many sides exist (think polygon, not fence). For definition 'o f this logical fallacy, by the way, see "either/or" in your writing handbook. No complex issue_:_legal, moral, aesthetic, ethical, ever personal-can be this simple. Human beings are not computers; the logic underlying our thoughts and behavior is not binary. "Either/or" makes only as much sense as do (some) people who consider "yes" or ''.no" to be the only possible responses. Senator Michaels voted "yes" after analyzing many arguments, not only two . . This troublesome (and Revolutionary) phrase should be handled with care. I would be pleased were all the journalists in the world io pledge its abandonme1_1t forever, unless quoting either an advertiser or a campaigning politician. J.F. Battaglia • To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to an article printed in the March 28th issue of the Beacon entitled "Computer Survey has Surprising Results." I am a junior and I have been a computer lab attendant since my freshman year. When ·I applied for this work study employment, I.knew I had ~onsiderable knowledge of both Macintosh and DOS environments to provide adequate assistance for students. A major point overlooked in Toni Oden's article is that we are employed to help students but not do the students assignments. We never refuse students who ask for help, however, we feel we are sometimes taken advantage of because of student's lack of attention during classes in which some specialized programs may be utilized. All University students are required to take Computers and Applications (CS 115) in which the computer basics are taught and it is the students' responsibility to learn these basics themselves. In response to Dr. Schwartz's comments, helping student's IS our number one priority, but it is expected that if teachers assign work requiring the use of a computer, the instructors themselves should be able to do the assignment with some degree of competency while making themselves available to their students for any question or problems. The teaching should be done in the classroom, not in the computer lab, which is why you, the faculty, are salaried and we earn only minimum wage. I hope, Dr. Schwartz, that you do not let your frustrations with computers affect your understanding of the job description of lab attendants. We feel our assistance to all who request it_ is com_petent, but we byte back when unjustly criticized.

The riame of the group is Southern Culture on the Si(fds, and the song from whence this stell~ lyric sprang i's "Camel Walk." It would appear to have little or no relevance to the ceremonial "thank you" tone this column will seek to achieve for the next two weeks. As a graduating senior (Whoo!), I'm feeling slightly nostalgic about my four (yes, only four) years at Wilkes. Next week, the Idle Chatter Farewell Tour will pay homage to friends and Beacon staff. But this week, it's the faculty which receive thanks. Most, if not all, of the faculty I've encountered at Wilkes has lead me on a walk through the barren desert of ignorance in search of truth, but usually not pointy boots or snack crackers. I've never been a big fan of singling out people by name in this column, unless they are national figures who deserve to have their feet held to the fire. Otherwise, the Chatter (specifically, the Zenmaster) is fond 9f nicknames, or sly references that only half of the readers of this column*will understand. So listen up, both of you. When.I first came to Wilkes University, the one organization which immediately drew my participation ·.vas the Speech and Debate Union. Aw.ards did not come easily at fir st , but the coach kept insisting that I not quit. In return, I insisted on telling him••• well, that's not important. I was on the team for over two years, and there is no greater satisfaction th_an communicating your message successfully in competition, whether in a speech or a piece of literature. But there was no worse feeling than the corruption which developed on the circuit, such as coaches writing speeches for competitors, or blatantly biased judges. My coach, I am proud to say, is a man of unquestioned integrity. Beyond speech and a million other things, he taught me that ethics should never disappear. The same can be said of my admiration and respect for him. Thanks, Dr. K. I have also had the opportunity to work with another one of the people who attracted me to Wilkes. As my advisor, he steered me through the challenges of the Core Curriculum. As my boss, he dealt with my version of "Name That Tune" on two trips to Harrisburg. He also greatly assisted me in my run towards graduate school, pulling some strings and making some calls. In return, I promise to deliver on my end of a bet, which had me eating an entire Pontiac Bonneville because Paul McCartney does sing the song, "To You." What else can I say, except, ironically, "You were right." Not "on the Right." Thanks, Dr. B. Finally, I owe a great deal to the person who introduced me to Lloyd Bitzer a~d Quintillion (not personally, of course).

I tell anyone wh? will _liS ten that while Rhetorical Criticism is one of the toughest classes I have taken at Wilkes, it was also the best. I thank you for your advice, as wep as your professionalism; I hope to emulate it some day, in front of my own class. Thanks, Dr. E-C (aka Jane). Because of the guidance and knowledge of these three, along with many others at Wilkes I will be attending the University of Rochester next year, to pursue my MaS ters Degree' in Public Policy Analysis. From there, because of their support, the sky's the limit. • Thank you so very much. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. h·~· ~ii. ih~ ·wiik·~~· ·~~~p·.ii~·~ h.·o··;s· ·w· .. =. w· ... Page 5 ''Letters to the Editor'' continued from page 4 To the Editor; After reading the article in The Beacon about the general quality of the Wilkes computer lab, I have a fe\1/ remarks in support of the lab which I would like to put forth. The first is on the quality of the software applications. Being that I aI!l familiar with both PC and Macintosh computers, I would have to state that both types of computers have ample amounts of software applications for word-processing, graphing, Internet use, WWW browsing,etc.Andconcerningthequalityofthevarioussoftware applications, it should be noted that they are fairly recent versions, and they do very well in serving their intended purpose. Inresponse to the criticism directed toward the lab attendants, I believe comments are inaccurate and very bias. Lab attendants are provided to help the students with their hardware and software problems and questions. I believe thatthe lab attendants are familiar with the computer applications, and are always willing to try and help students with their dilemma. The lab attendants are students too, they know many aspects of computer operation, but it is impossible to know everything_and fix every problem. I believe that the attendants try their best to help the students remedy their problems, and when they cannot find a solution, they offer their best advice to the students. I believe that some complaints arise when students expect lab attendants to guide them through every operation of the computer. A lab attendant should·not be expected to give lessons on computers, but rather they should be there to help when a problem is encountered. Idonotseeanyreason tocomplainiftheattendants do other work in-between helping the students with their problems. I fully encouragebr. Ronald Schwartz to point out problem areas within the computer lab, so as long as he understands the entire situation beforehand. It appears to me that Dr. Schwartz has much to say, but is lacking the computer lab background information to justify his statements. It seems that his view of the operation of a computer lab should meet the requirements of a NASA laboratory. Any lab a person enters will have some problems. What Dr. Schwartz should realize is that our computer lab does the best it can with what it has to serve its students in the best way. I also believe that if Dr. Schwartz has enough free time to allocate toward criticizing our computer labs, he should re-examine his actions, and devote some time to his students to explain to them how to go ab.out doing their computer assignments. co~p~~r~!~~eb~~:~1~~:t:::ei:1:~:~::de:nt\~!;~1;:~ne~:: • if they encounter a problem of this nature.

Someone got shot. The one person who could figure out who the killer was I was me, Nick Danger, Private Eye. The Master of Ceremonies decided that the show would continue while I was investigating. Just a few of the tunes are from ,West Side Story, Annie, The Phantom of the Opera, Miss Saigon, Grea$e, Sunset Boulevard, Les Miserables, and Man Of La Mancha that were being performed. Anyone in any of those songs might have had a motive to kill. Soon I had two murders and not a clue. That's when I found the note attached to the knife used in the last murder. Now I knew I'd be able to find the killer- hopefully before he killed again.

Drumming is my first love , but it also doesn't pay the bills," Shinkus says. .Shinkus started seriously drumming in fifth grade w~en he began taking lessons. He then entered Wilkes in 1986 as a music major, but later switched to communications. At Wilkes, he met his roommate John McLaughlin who is now the bassist for "Lynqal's Burning." At that time, Shinkus used his drumming talent as a source of income. "l played in a polka band to put myself through college. We played weddings, dances, Elk's Club meetings. We all dressed exactly alike. we had some of the most disgusting flowered shirts," Shinkus says, laughing. After graduating Wilkes in 1991, Shinkus played with many different bands. Often, he would play until 4 am and get up for his job at 8 am. His schedule with "Lyndal's Burning" is much less hectic. "I'm not playing so much, right now anyway, that it's a real chore. It doesn't affect what I do here [at Wilkes]," Shinkus says. · What Shinkus does at Wilkes affects his role as a drummer, however., it has helped his be more businesslike about his drumming work. "You have to be dependable. If a job starts at 8, you have to get there at 7 or 7:30 as apposed to five or 8. I may not be the best drummer in the Wyoming Valley, but if you call me on Sunday about a job, I'll call you back on Monday," Shinkus says. Shinkus never turns down work as a drummer. He has played with a jazz group on the Square, with Little Theatre, and with orchestra and choral groups at Wilkes. Right now, he has nothing scheduled with "Lyndal's Burning."

One of the NHL's biggest and most physical teams is the Philadelphia Flyers. They went down the final stretch of the season winning 13 games and losing only three. With a front line of Eric Lindros, John · LeClair, and Dale Hawerchuck they will be tough to beat with this awesome trio. They will be matched up against The Tampa Bay Lightning, whoforthefirst time in franchise history made · the Stanley Cup Playoffs with an impressive season-ending drive of 16 wins, eigh~ losses, and four ties. Their top scorer is Alexander Selivanov, with 31 goals on the season, and he has lead the way for them so far this season. Along with defensive player Roman Hamrlink, who is a force on both ends of the ice, they have the potential to go a long way. Another good matchup in the playoffs this season is Pittsburgh versus Washington. Pittsburgh lead the league with 4.41 goals per game . Considering they have the two top scorers in the league in Mario Lemieux with 161 points (69 goals), and Jaromir Jagr with 149 points (62 goals), they are once again going to be a top competitor this season, as in every season. As for Washington, they are facing Pittsburgh for the fifth time in six seasons. The Caps have only won once in the four'previous series. Washington' s 9efense has been playing great this season, with the third lowest goals against average at 2.26. That also has a lot to do with goaltender Jim Carey, who lead the league with nine shutouts. The New York Rangers were one of the hottest teams in the league this season, going 18-0-6 at home over one stretch. Then they his the skids, going on a five game losing streak to end the season. Key players like Mark Messier were injured down the stretch which was a key to their loss of momentum. They will be going up against Montreal in the first round. The Habs are 17-1 -2 in the last tw enty games against the Rangers at home. They also have an arsenal of players who can light the lamp. Pierre Turgeon and Vin cent Damphouse lead the team with 38 goals apiece. The only thing standing•in their way is their lack of experience. 2.19. They are incredibly fast, and the bench depth is a plus for Detroit. However, theirlack of size could be a factor in the postseason. It is interesting to note that the only team to beat theRedWingstwice thisseason is to match up against them in the first round. The Winnipeg Jets are not the same team they were three years ago. Only five pl aye rs re main fr om tha t season. Key player Alexander The Chicago Blackhawks are in the playoffs for the 27th consecutive season. That is the · _ second longest streak behind Boston' s. Their defense is lead byNorrisTrophy candidate and team le ader Chris Chelios. Jeremy Roenick should play, but could be on short shifts due . to a reoccurring ankle injury. Tony Amonte needs to play above himself tofill thevoid of the missing Roenick. The Calgary Flames have not advanced past the first round of playoffs si"nce they won the Stanley Cup in 1989. Their top scorers are Theo Fleury, who was ranked eleventh in scoring with 46 goals, and Gary Roberts who was subject to injuries late in the regular season. The Toronto Maple Leafs were 6-2 in their last eight regular season games, but are 0-10-1 in their last 11 games again st opp one nts with an above .500 winning percentage. The team had turned things around since fi ring Pat Burns as head coach.' Prior to that they went 3-16-3 in Burns' final 22 games.

People are either pro-life or pro-choice. In many cases, people feel strongly about the issue and are willing to put themselves on the line for what they believe. This is the case for senator George M. Michaels, and is the topic of "From Dangers to Dignity: The Fight for Safe Abortion." "From Dangers to Dignity: The Fight for Safe Abortion" is adocumentaryfilm by Academy A ward no_m inated filmmaker, Dorothy Fadiman . The film chronicles the abortion rights movement in the United states . Fadiman was a victim of an unsafe abortion in 1962. The film 's showing is on Thursday, March 28, at 7 pm in COB 107. A little over 26 years ago, it was illegal for a woman to have an abortion. If they had one, it was done in secrecy. In most cases, it was done improperly and left many medical complications after the procedure. In 1970, the New York state abortion ban and made it legal. This decision · sparked other states to change abortion laws and was the foreshadower of Roe v. Wade. One man who was instrumental in making this decision was George M. Michaels, a Democra!ic senator from upstate New York. Michaels cast the deciding vote which legalized abortion in his state and, at the same time, terminated his political career. His son , Rabbi James Michaels of Temple Israel, Wilkes-Barre, will be at the film to introduce its Pennsylvania premiere. After its showing, he will answer the audience's questions. According to Michaels, his father was originally going to vote against New York's Michaels was going to do this for political reasons, even though he believed the bill should pass . However, when he learned that his vote would be the deciding one, Michaels reconsidered and voted for passage.By doing this, Michaels broke political ties, and ended his political career. . "My father ' s decision reflected a long series of conversations my family had with my father," sa·ys Rabbi Michaels . "When he cast his vote, he said, what was the use of · getting elected to something, if you do not stand for something." Senator Michaels said this because his son convinced him that abortions should be legal • after witnessing people in poor areas suffering from complications from illegal Dr. Nancy McKine ly, lecturer of English and Women's Studies, says that this is an excellent way for students to become aware of the conditions women faced 20 to 30 years ago. "The documentary takes the historical perspective and is geared to make people aware," says McKinely. " It is not meant to be a political statement."

Like the cozy sound of someone's voice on the phone that you know all to well. Or the taste of fresh watermelon on a warm summer's day. But like these things that become so · customary throughout your life, there also lies many mysteries and events that you must seek out and explore. If not for enjoyment, the well-roundedness the experience provides will later be a great asset. I was forced into this type of situation last Tuesday. Not by my choice, I visited the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society on South Franklin Street for my Feature Writing class. Myself, along with two other class members were instructed to travel throughout the museum and in a 400-500 word feature piece, describe how we viewed the experience. In my initial impression, I was quite disappointed in the overall decor. With all due respect, the main room's open space was quite extensive. But due to the spatial design of how the artifacts were placed, my visit left me guessing that the museum has a far road ahead before it can come close to comparing to The Smithsonian. Yet bashing the museum was not the point of my visit or of this editorial. After allowing myself adequate time to take in everything else the museum had to offer, I actually found myself enjoying my "forced" visit. Without pausing to stare at one specific display for too long, I began to notice what interesting artifacts the museum held. While the first floor held artifacts dating back to the 18th century, the second floor's decoration revolves around the Native Americans existence and their affects on this area. What I found intrigued me the most was the bottom floor, which contained a full display of the coal mining era and its progress from the early stages · of development to its final decomposition. From the giant size green and black marble wall clock to the run-down sword, canteen and bat of Colonel R. Bruce Ricketts, native of Wilkes-Barre and First Lieutenanant in the Civil War, I found that here in the midst of this renovated museum, lies an interesting part of the Valley's past, that seems to be all too often taken for granted or forgotten. For example, how many of you know the whereabouts of the museum? Furtherm ore, how many of you even knew it ever existed? To be perfectly honest with you, in my three years at Wilkes, rve probably passed it on my way to Boscov' s over 100 times and until my class traveling trip this past · Tuesday, I myself was unaware of its presence. But, you know, I realize now that I was missing out on something important. While I may have been initially disappointed in the museum, I found .that without that experience I would still be unaware of the many interesting places I still have yet to visit. I have always been taught that to become a more knowledgeable individual each and every day you should be willing to take in something new. Whether it be a new word, food choice or an hour of your time to take a trip to Wilkes-Barre's museum, it can't hurt to become familiar with something you hardly even knew existed. Well-roundedness is a good thing and an ·unfamiliar situation may sometimes even prove rewarding. - Letters to the editor guidelines: The Beacon will return.

It is the inspiring true 'story of Sir Thomas Moore, Chancellor and friend of King Henry the Eighth and his silence on the king's divorce and remarriage; a silence that leads to his execution.

By MICHAEL NOONE Beacon Sportswriter The Wilkes University Lady Colonels softball team split a pair of games in the Bloomsburg Tournament this past Sunday. The Lady Colonels lost to the host Huskies, 2-0 in a pitcher's duel, and defeated the University of Scranton, 9-3. Amy Rosengrant pitched a complete game for Wilkes in picking up the win over the Lady Royals. Rosengrant helped herself at the plate as she went twofor-four with two RBI. Christy Palilonis also had two hits and two RBI for the Lady Colonels. Kristen Cookus and Jamie Derhammer each added two hits for Wilkes. In the next game, Bloomsburg freshman Christy Kittle pitched h~r second shutout of the tournament against the Lady Colonels. Kittle had a perfect game through five innings until Wilk es' Danielle Benson ended the bid for perfection with a single. Kittle finished with a twohitter, striking out six with no walks. Tricia Kirk was the losing pitcher for Wilkes, despite allowing only five hits to the Huskies. The Division II Huskies trounced the University of Scranton, 12-0, to complete the tournament sweep. The tourney was originally scheduled as a two-day event. However, wet conditions canceled Saturday's action. The Lady Colonels are now 3-3 on the season. They will play Misericordia in Dallas, PA, this Thursday afternoon at 3 pm. The Wilkes home opener is this Saturday afternoon at 1 pm, when they host the Lady Greyhounds of Moravian College.

Marseco Scholarship needs donations By TONI ODEN Beacon News Editor Each year at about the same time, you start to wonder how you are going to finance your college education. After some furious scrambling and penny-pinching, you finally scrape together the amount needed to pay off the debt and register for classes. However, these tuition payments do not fully cover the cost of attending Wilkes University. For this reason, past Alumni and other organizations make contributions to Wilkes to help cover the remaining costs. Because of this financial burden, and as a waytohonortheirclassmate, theClassofl996hasdecided to establish the Anthony D. Marseco Memorial Scholarship as their Senior Class Gift. It will be an endowed scholarship in which all money donated to the effort is invested by the University, and the interest -earned is awarded as a scholarship. By using this process, the funds are able to continue generating interest for scholarships for needy students forever. Anthony Marseco (a.k.a. "Badger") had a great impact on students and faculty at Wilkes before he was tragically taken away from his family and friends last year. This endowed scholarship would serve as a tribute to his memory, as he wastograduatewiththeClass of 1996 in May. A minimum gift of $10,000 is required to create an endowed named scholarship. The goal of the Senior Class, as friends of Tony, is to raise the needed $10,000inhonorofhisname and contributions to the lives of many. Through this effort, his memory will be kept alive for many years to come. About $5,600 has already been raised through donations to the scholarship fund. So far , 45 seniors, 11 underclassmen, and 28 facult)'., staff, or friends have contributed . However, participation of all seniors is necessary to make the Anthony D . Marseco Scholarship a reality. Each senior is being asked to pledge only $ 100 to the Senior Class Gift, payable over the next four years, although other donations are welcome. All who were touched by Tony want to express their thanks by keeping his spirit alive through the scholarship fund , and they are asking you to become a part of it. If you have any . questions, or want to make a pledge, please contact Maureen Burke, Assistant Director of Annual Giving, at 831-4311.

Robins weren't chirping, flowers weren't blooming and the sky was gray and bleak. While I'm not an experienced meterologist, I'm pretty sure that a predicted snowstorm is not a sign of spring. But before you get yourseives in a_tizzy, I am proud ~o report t11at th~e are many other reasons to celebrate today. For starters, it's Memory Day. To observe this ~. auspicious occasion, you could look at old photo albums or tie a white piece 9f string around your forefinger. Think back to certain e".ents that made you smile and reminisce to your hearts content. Since it''.' also Children's Poetry Day, reread the Mother Goose poems and regress back to the good ol' days. There once was an old woman who lived in a shoe ... Although robins may not appear for a few more weeks, Bird Day is another reason to take a look at nature. While you're walking down the street, take a minute to see if you spot any different kinds of birds. Most of them should soon be migrating north after a long; rested southern trip. · When was the last time you surprised your mate with a bottle of cologne or perfume? Fragrance Day is the perfect chance to buy Farenheit orTrue Love. The scent will not only bring memories of today, but every special moment spent with you. With spring on its way, National Tree Planting Day and Master Gardener Day is a perfect chance to buy a seed and watch it grow. When returning for a Wilkes class reunion, you can look at how much your trees and flowers have grown and remember the full impact of college. If today is too hectic, the remainder of the week commerates many other holidays that you may or may not wish to add to your agenda. Sine~ it's Children and Hospital week, volunteer at a local hospital or nursing home. Visit a children's reading hour and take the time.to narrate a story. In observance of American Chocolate Week, don't worry about those extra calories. Snickers and Hershey Kisses always taste better when you're cheating on ·your diet. While there are many other reasons to consider March 21 a holiday, I'm not going to bore you with all the details. The weather may not be warm or sunny and you may not be getting a ton of gifts, but think of all the other reasons you have to celebrate today. , If nothing else, it' s Thursday and the weekend is only one day away.

To the editor, It was very disturbing to read the editorial in last week's Beacon about the Spring Break trip to Cancun. As organizer, along with Paula Van Fossen, we wanted to give this school the opportunity to go on Spring Break, as Wilkes University. A lot of hard work went into making this idea a reality. I am very sorry that the editor did not have a good time in Mexico. However, I would like to make the readers aware that the writer's editorial does not speak for everyone that went on the trip. The editorial gives me the impression that the Cancun trip was a total flop. Well, as one of the organizers of the trip, I feel it is my responsibility to defend • New Policy: the other side of the trip. It is the policy of The Beacon There were many opportunities for everyone to have a not to alter any submitted letters. Grammatical errors are those of great time in Cancun. I did not run into any of tne problems the author. that the editor encountered on the trip, and ·if I did, maybe I viewed them in a different light. In defense of the trip, I would like to say that we did hav~ a four hour delay at the mexician airport. The airline posted a sign that our flight was delayed due to bad weather. 'Take a Break" represetatives were provided at the hotel if we had any questions. They got us to the airport and in the correct check-in lines. Finally, they made sure that everyone that was supposed to be on the plane was at the airport. And as for the "ironically" disconnected 1-800 number? Two numbers were provided on our luggage tags. One.was for nside the United States (the 1-800 number) and one was for outside the United States. In conclusion, I would like to say that I personally had a fantastic time on this trip, and I have talked to many people who cannot wait for next years trip. Even though Mexico is a third world country, Cancun is a beautiful place to spend a vacation. Why else would it be a major year-round tourist attraction? Sincerely, Bill Pastewait To the editor, In response to the editorial "South. of the border, not all it's cracked up to be," I was flabbergasted that the writer was unable to take advantage of all the wonderful opportunities that were available to her on spring break. 1. Orientations that were given in the U.S. and enroute to our destination clearly stated that this was not going to be a trip to Hawaii - tthis wa a third world country. 2. An itinerary was provided to enable our group to take ~dvantage of.the many parties and food and drink specials. The gold card entitled us to food, drinks, and. first preferences in lines to parties and clubs. It was a tremendous money and time saver, when used as intended. 3. The market place was an interesting experience providing b9th the opportunity to bargain with the merchants and give a peso (15 cents) to entrepreneur children selling yarn bracelets. These activities are common and expected in a third world country. 4. The trip was furnished with guides who stayed with us continuously in our hot~l until it was our time for departure. Leaving us at the airport and in proper lines for checkins, our guides checked our names off of a master list to assure that everyone was present, and then left for their next scheduled tour. 5. Our four hour wait at the airport was due to uncomfortable weather conditions that delayed our flight home. The writer did not read the explanation for the delay that was posted at the check-in counter. 6. We were provided with two phone numbers for contact with our travel agency. If used properly, the numbers did work. One was for dialing in the U.S. and the other was dialing outside the U.S. Using the wrong number, would make the caller think that the number dialed was "ironically" disconnected. 7. Most students never considered spring breaks to be a "room service" vacation. Cancun was an affordable escape from winter and classes. Vacations are what you make of them, and I spoke with more than 20 Wilkes students who made this Spring Break . a great one. Sincerely, Paula L. VanFossen 'i �Page4 March 21, 1996 OPINIONS Idle Chatter with Michael Butchko "How many times must we tell the tale; how many times must we fall?" If the English department is correct in saying that there are only four or five basic themes in literature, and we just continue to repeat them, then that would explain the events of the past week. Yet each incident appears new at first, until it is compared to other past occurrences. Maybe Clapton is correct; we are just "Pretending" that all of this is new. Sadly, the same songs continue to haunt us. For example ... Tale 1: So many of you have addressed to my response to the first ever Chatter-related hate mail. The responses have ranged from agreements with Mrs. Martin that I am a whiny first-grader to compliments on my refusal to engage in namecalling. To those who don't approve, instead of writing your opinion to me, next time, just spray paint it on the side of a building. Thanks, huh? Tale 2: International aggression. This time, it's China, looming over Taiwan like this wee}<:' s winter storm. If the elections in Taiwan are dissatisfying to China, then they might respond militarily. My question is this: if Republicans don't like Dole as the nominee, can we mobilize the National Guard in response? Please? Tale 3: This week's winter storm . If you expected Spring this week, well, I guess you have to wait. The weather patterns of the past few years are frightening, especially · when a storm of this magnitude effects the Southeast with tornadoes for days, and then -effects the entire East Coast of the United States. By graduation, it will probably be 95 degrees in the shade. Tale 4: The Scottish massacre. The Chatter has a range of responses, from wondering aloud why it never occurred to anyone that this suspected child molester maybe shouldn 't be allowed around youngsters. Ironically, just a few days after the incident, the New York Times ran an article condemning Megan's law, and its application to offenders found guilty before the law was passed. Maybe Megan 's law wouldn't have prevented such an incident. But, who knows how many such incidents it has prevented in the U.S.? Furthermore, the outpouring of sympathy from around the world has been tremendous. But instead of constructing a mile long chain of flowers, why not pool the resources of these concerned humanitarians to employ a qualified therapist or two for the mourning school children, their teachers and parents. Flowers will die, whereas the benefits of therapy would last much longer. Tale 5: The Chatter sports season. This year is especially bleak, with Villanova bowing out of the NCAA Basketball Tournament in the second round. Other Chatter faves who continue to struggle include the Celtics, who should just get out, and the New York Rangers, who are slumping at the . worst possible time. To add insult to injury, the one bright spot amongst my teams, the New York Mets, have lost one of their young pitchers for the next two weeks, possibly more. Unfortunately, this tale doesn't get better. Tale 6: Movie Recommendation. The Chatter suggests Dead Man Walking, which won't change your opinion about the death penalty, but will change your opinion about Sean Penn. Susan Sarandon is ·deliciously ironic as a nun, especially if you've ever seen Bull Durham.The documentary style is effective, and1lie characters are compelling. That's all for now. we:11 chat again next week. r--------------------, Attention Off-Campus Students 1 Last date to submit apartment pictures : for _the 1996 yearbook is : Friday, March 29 1 NO exceptions will be made after this date I Submit a clear (non-fuzzy/blurry image) photograph: Amnicola c/o M.

This week, March 19th to 25th is American Chocolate Week. People have devoured chocolate since 200 B.C. Chocolate comes from cacao beans or as scientists like to call them "Theobrama Cacao", which means "food of the gods." In 1519, Hernando Cortez noticed that cacao beans were considered priceless treasures "by the Aztecs. Cortez also tasted "Cacahuatt", a chocolate drink enjoyed by the last Aztec emperor, Montezuma II. Cortez brought the cacao beans and recipe for "Cacahuatt" back to Spain where the chocolate drink was enjoyed only by the nobility: Eventually the secret was revealed and by the mid1600' s everyone craved this chocolate deink. By the late 1700' s chocolate houses were as common as coffee houses in England. In 1765 the New World's first chocolate factory opened in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Sixty years later a cocoa press that allowed people to make chocolate candy by mixing cocoa butter with finely ground sugar was invented by a Dutch chemist named Conrad Van Houten. Milk chocolate was invented in 1876 when Swiss candy-maker, Daniel Peter added condensed milk to chocolate liquor. The Swiss were also responsible for · giving chocolate a smoother texture. Perhaps the best contributor to the chocolate industry known by people today as Milton Hershey. In 1894 Hershey established the Hershey Chocolate Company which manufactured Hershey's cacao, Hershey's baking chocolate, and Hershey' s sweet chocolate. Hershey was a great entrepreneur who "measured success, not in dollars, but in tenns of a good product to pass on to the public, and still more in the usefulness of those dollars for the benefit of his fellow men." Hershey is known as the '.'Henry Ford" of chocolate because he mass produced a quality chocolate bar at an affordable price. Hershey played a large role in the development of chocolate. But although chocolate is America's favorite flavor it often receives a bad rap because of the belief that "anything that tastes good must be bad for you.': The truth is chocolate is not high in saturated fat, the fat that raises blood and cholesterol levels; chocolate actually has a neutral effect on blood cholesterol levels. An eight ounce glass of milk contains a cholesterol level almost four times more than 1.55 ounce Hershey's milk chocolate bar. It has not been proven scientifically that chocolate causes tooth decay or hyperactivity in children. Wilkes University student Mike Sobolewski doesn't consider himself a ~'chocolate lover" but when he needs a "chocolate fix" he reaches for a Nutrageous candy bar. Wilkes University bookstore employee Estelle Broadhead isn' t addicted to chocolate either, but she estimates th~t the bookstore sells about two dozen candy bars a week. Snickers are the most popular. Be sure to celebrate this tasty part of American culture this week by giving in to this sweet temptation.

Hastings, a two time MAC Freedom League AllStar, hit.27 4 a year ago with 10 RBI. Two seasons. ago, Hastings hit .377 for the Lady Colonels, and is widely considered one of the top defensive players in the MAC. The Lady Colonels also return infielders Christy Palilonis and Kristen Strack for the 1996 season. Palilonis, a · junior, started at third base for Wilkeslastseasonandhit.306. Strack, a _sophomore second baseman, had a remarkable freshman season hitting .354 for the Lady Colonels. TheWilkesoutfieldersalso have the benefit of experience. Kristen Cookus returns for her sophomore season after hitting .333 last year with. nine stolen bases. Junior Amy Webb will see time in the outfield this season after hitting .310 in a reserve role last year. Shannon O' Neill, a sophomore from Lansdale, Pennsylvania, will round out the Wilkes outfield. Second-year coach Kevin Vrabel has talent and depth at first base and in the pitching rotation. Senior Tricia Kirk returns after posting a record of 6-2lastseasonwitha3.38ERA. Kirk is 17-12 for their career at Wilkes and has led the team in wins each of the two seasons. Junior Amy Rosengrant was just 3-3 a year ago, but posted a team-best LOI ERA. Rosengrantallowedonlyseven earned runs all season. When not pitching, Rosengrant will play first base for the Lady Colonels. Rosengrant hit .237 last season and was third on the team with 13 RBI. Sophomore Carrie Wilkes will also split time between pitching and first base. Wilkes was 4-3 last season with a 2.50 ERA while batting .250 for the Lady Colonels. The Lady Colonels did suffer a major loss during the off-season when infielder Kellie Cookus transferred to Division 1 Rhode Island. Last season Cookus led Wilkes with a .427 average, two runs scored, and · 13 stolen bases on her way to being named an MAC All-Star. "We return a solid group of players who I believe will blend very well with ournewcomers," said coach Vrabel. "And with such strong pitching staff returning I think we can do a very good job in the Middle Atlantic Conference and once again challenge for a playoff spot." Wilkes opened the season ''Beacon Sports Quote of the Week'' Darvin Ham, ; of Texas Tech, on his reaction to a backboard shattering dunk: ''I didn't know what to do. - Ifelt like flexing.'' in South Carolina with a 2-2 record , beating Allentown twice, 18-7, and 4-0.

Imagine buying your books , relaxing in a coffeehouse, and chatting with friends in an internet cafe. These are the proposed plans that Leadership }Vilkes-Barre has in store for Wilkes University and Kings College. In an effort to revitalize the downtown, Leadership Wilkes-Barre, a local civic group, has approached both Wilkes University and Kings College to work together and build a joint- campus bookstore . The project is not only to enhance "Center City", but also to make Wilkes-Barre a. true college town. The proposed site for the store is o~Market Street near the Hotel Sterling. According to the project's planners, the location is in the middle of both college campuses. However, some Wilkes students disagree. "Sure it 's close to the students who live on the North end of campus, but what about those who live in Barre and Doane Hall," says Lee Meyers. "It is almost a · four block walk." Wilkes University Vice President for Busil)ess Affairs, Paul O'Hop, recognizes the problem and says that the University will look into all aspects of the project before committing to it. "Right now we are in the pre-planning stages. Before Wilkes moves forward on the project, several things must be considered," O'Hop says. There are three aspects that Wilkes needs to look into before it gives the go ahead to build. First, the students must want the new bookstore and entertainment complex. ' Second,Follet,the University's · bookstore, must be willing to commit to such a project. Third, the city must be willing to give support to make the new bookstore a success. Overall, Wilkes students support the project. Many see it as an enhancement for student life on campus and will provide better shopping opportunities. . "If books are cheaper, I am all for it,'' . says Brian Grimko. "I think it is a good idea if it joins the two campuses," Kalen Churcher, says. "It will be a good place to relax and hang out." Similar to the way students feel, O' Hop feels that the project is a great way for Wilkes and Kings to be active in the revitalization of "Center City". O'Hop says, "The success of the downtown will coordinate directly with th e Unversity' s success."

To the Editor: While visiting the Wilkes University Shoppe recently to purchase tickets to the NCAA basketball playoffs, I picked up the February 22,1996 copy of The B_eacon. As a 1977 graduate of Wilkes College and former reporter, advertising manager and business manager of The Beacon, I was very disappointed to read a column entitled "The day the Valley stood still" by Michael Butchko. Mr. Butchko's whining and derogatory comments about King's College were uncalled for. •· King's College was chosen as the sight for President Clinton's visit for a variety of reasons, I'm sure, none of which had anything to do with Wilkes not being able to handle an event of such magnitqde_. Perhaps Mr. Butchko should have been happy with the fact that he had the opportunity to get inside the King's gym to hear the President speak and with the fact that Dr. Christopher Breiseth was invited to sit at the table durning the President's town meeting. Mr. Butchko's column read like that of a whiny first grader, rather than sounding like the woJds of a college student studying in the field of journalism. H_is column certainly did not speak well of either Wilkes University or of The Beacon. Sincerely, Dotty Martin Editor and Publisher of Westside Weekly ~--------------------, .

Cold strawberry daiquiris at the wet bar, staring at John Claude (the hottest Frenchman alive) and five days of 8 am to 5 pm sunshine, who could ask for a better spring break? With its green grass, crystal blue waters and colorful flowering trees along the coastline, at face value, Cancun is truly a beautiful place. And while this may sound like heaven-for those of you confined to the cold snow, let me say that my praising Mexico stops here. From the daily served guacamole to the XX Dos Equis beer, spring break '96 in Cancun, Mexico was one eyeopening experience I'Jl never forget. Maybe I was not prepared for the full-fledge tourism Cancun had to offer. Mexican shop owners groping at any person who walked by their store. Waiters of all ages, pulling and touching in places, which they could only get away with during the spring break week. Children 12 years and older waiting for you outside the clubs at 2 am, begging you to buy their hand-made yarn bracelets. Not to mention the number of children in the shops, showing off the different bowls they have to smoke marijuana. Imagine having to be dressed and ready for the evening almost two hours before the opening of a club, just so you could get your foot in the door. Then you pay the all-you-can-eat-and-drink "special spring break" price and arrive at the beginning of the line only to find out that the "special" hour is up, meaning you can only receive one more place full of food and few more beers, if you're lucky. While I'd like to report that the rest of the week went more smoothly, let m~ say that it's a miracle that we even made it home. Upon returning to the U.S., thirtysome Wilkes students, including myself and over a hundred remaining spring breakers from all over the country were left tired, penniless and irate at the Mexican airport. For some unknown reason, Flight 420 had taken an ''accidental trip" to Savannah, Georgia instead of Cancun, Mexico. And the worst part was that our friendly "Take a Break" tour guides were nowhere in sight with a 1-800 number · that ironically was disconnected. How's that for a recount of the week? Though there were many exciting memories I would rather not mention in my editorial, for the sake that tomorrow you would may look at me in ·a different light, I have to say that overall, my experience in Mexico is not one that I found 100% enjoyable. I don't know what a trip to Italy or Jamaica would be like for spring break, but what I do know is that Mexico is not the dream place I would like to spend any future trips. And if yo~ decide otherwise, make sure whatever you do, "don't buy the gold card." : ulty and staff of Wilkes University I Thursday, March 21 : 9am to4 pm I Annette Evans Faculty and Alumni Page I : : 1 ·1 L--~-----------------~ Mr. Butchko responds: In the words of a truly great Editor-in-Chief, Ben Bradlee, fonnerly of the Washington Post, "I stand by my story." Over 1,000 people were turned away from President Clinton's open forum at King's College, even though they had tickets. King's should have considered the amount of tickets they were distributing, as compared to the capacity of the gymnasium. Had I been shut out of the event, Jbm I would have·used "whining and derogatory comments." · I was "happy" (sic), nay honored to see the President of the United States address my friends and neighbors. But frankly, I'm tired of anyone calling our first-rate university '-'Wilkes College." If someone refemd to Clinton's school as "Oxford College," he would correct the person, regardless of the source. He should have thought before he spoke, or at least checked his facts, which are not subjective. · Finally, the "whiny first grader" remark is a personal attack, best left to tabloid journalism, and therefore I will not respond. As for her assumption that I am "studying in the field of journalism," I am, rather, a Political Science major with a triple minor in Psychology, History, and Communications (specifically Rhetoric). Wilkes is a University where interdisciplinary involvement is now the nonn, and that should speak well of Wilkes University and The Beacon. �Page4 March 14, 1996 OPINIONS Idle Chatter with Michael Butchko "We hear you're leavin', that's o.k.; !thought ourlittle wild time had just begun." There's a reason why this column is mentioned on the sports pages this week. There's a reason why Steely ·Dan is crooning "Rikki Don't Lose That Number'' in the background. There's a reason why the only mental picture available to thiscolumnistis a dimmed Henry Gymnasium, with a lone basketball sitting peacefully on the floor, at either fourline. As you already know, the men's basketball team played their last game this se~son, losing to Franklin & Marshall in the Great Eight of the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Championships. Four members of this year's squad have played their last Wilkes game, never to wear the C,olonel Blue again. As a senior, I can almost understand how Matt LaBuda, Chris Parker, Dave Macedo, and Jason Turner feel. As a WCLH broadcaster and Beacon Sports Editor, I have covered a great many games in my four years here at the university. It seems like only yes_terday that this "little wild time" started. And as the players walked off the floor on Saturday, it was extremely difficult to watch. But this year has provided so many great moments. The two victories over Lycoming, MAC regular season and postseason championships, and a preseason number one in two_national publications all brought Wilkes University to the front of the Division III college basketball class. Some people may feel disappointed because this team did not reach the Final Four. But when you play a team shooting 65 percent from the tloor all game, well, even the Chicago Bulls would have trouble pulling out a win. It ~as the Diplomats' night, and the Colonels couldn't have used any legal means to stop them. I know I considered the illegal ones, because it was painful to watch. More than pain, the night w~ almost unfair. With the score 28-27, an,d t,oth teams shooting theJights out, I remarked on the air to my partner, Mike Noone.''Somebody' s going to go cold:;, Why couldn't it have be~n F&M? Now , that the sadness is retreating, · I hope everyone remembers the sights and sounds of the:past years, many· of which will never be seen again. Such as Matt LaBuda shooting the final free throw before the announcement .of the starting lineup. Or Dave Macedo guarding the other team's best player, and shutting him down like only "The Glove" could. Or Jason Turner setting up in the low post, contemplating which of his many moves he would use on the defer1der to get the hoop and the foul. Or Chris Parker grabbing a rebound, dribbling in the open court (while going behi!!,d-the-back once or twice), and then stopping at the top of the key. "Parker for three . . .let it rain!" To the seniors, then, a fond farewell. You have brought this university a great deal of happiness and positive energy in the past four years. At a school where apathy reigns, much like · LaBuda's three-pointers, only this team could fill a gym over Spring Break, and make it rock like never before. Throughout your careers, you were gracious in victory and professional in defeat. This season,you had many miraculous comebacks, ' playing with the heart of a champion.

Or when Larry Bird scored 52 points against the Atlanta Hawks, and, in the words of former Celtic Quinn Buckner, "He was so hot, the Hawks were giving each other high fives." Wilkes University was the site of an amazing accomplishment during .the NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Tournament. For fans of Wilkes athletics, Saturday, March 2, 1996, will forever be remembered as the night Jay Williams caught' fire. The Cabrini College Cavaliers had run with the Colonels all night, and with 1:41 remaining in the game, they held a 77-68 lead. Six seconds later, sophomore guard Jay Williams was fouled. He made both free throws, to cut the lead to seven. The strategy used by Wilkes was fouling Cabrini's Far' d Nasir intentionally and hoping for a miss.

With the Mayser Center in Lancaster as the setting, the Wilkes Colonels battled the 'Buffalo State Bengals last Friday night for the right to advance to the round of eight. The Bengals slowed the pace of the game, forcing Wilkes to adjust. As they had all year, the Colonels adjusted well. Despite trailing by as many as seven points in the second half, the Colonels made their shots when necessary, and pulled out a 64-59 win. Wilkes trailed by three at halftime, 29-26. Thesecondhalf,however, was more to Wilkes' liking. "In the second half, we did a better job on the boards, and we had the pace going our way," .said head coach Jerry Rickrode. · With Wilkes trailing at the 14minute mark, Jason Turner drew an offensive foul which shifted momentum to the Colonel side. Turner hit the floor hard, but was able to remain in the game. "I've taken charges before, and I'm not afraid to take them," Turner said at the post-game press conference. The Colonels trimmed the Bengal lead, and earned a tie score of 54 at the four-minute mark. Wilkes was unable to take the lead until 1:57 remained in the game, when senior guard Chris Parker nailed a long three-pointer. The Colonels led 60-59, and the Bengals would not score again. - Wilkes played extremely well in the second half, executing the fundamentals of basketball.. "We had big rebounds, - three by [senior guard Dave] Macedo in the second half. Jason Turner also took two charges, and Dave Clancy did a good . job of boxing out," commented Rickrode. Senior Chris Parkerled the Colonels in scoring with 19 points. Matt LaBuda hit for 16 points in the second half, giving him 18 fo_r the gam~. Jason Tuner also chipped in nine points.
