Unfor- tunately, this minority has not learned from history that in order to accomplish a freer, more democratic society , the government must be separ~ted from all religious institutions . It amazes me that this minority can cite the second amendment from memory, and yet they do not understand the first amendment, and do not believe that it applies to them. . For those of you who are unaware , the next Speaker of the · House, NewtGingrich,haspromised a vote on such an amendment by the fourth of July. I believe such an amendment would be wrongforthiscountry,andlwould like to tell you why. When I was in third grade, around 1980, I had a homeroom teacher who kept a large book comprised of Bible stories for children on his desk. And, each moming, this teacher would read us "history lessons" from this book. But, as I got older, and I became more aware of the history of this country, the more uncomfortable I became with these "history lessons". I still, to this day, wonder how many of my fellow class- mates felt, not only uncomfortable, but downright ashamed for their beliefs. Here was a teacher, someone that they respected, telling them that their religiou s be• liefs were wrong. That is why I believe the school prayer amendment is wrong. Any attempt, even though it may be "voluntary", to bring religion into our schools is an attempt to force a certain religious view upon our children. Picture yourself in that classroom with a religious view that does not "conform". Now ask yourself if you can still support such an amendment. While this is not the only argument against school prayer, I do believe that this is at the heart of the question. I doubt very much that such an amendment would pass, but stranger things have happened. Those of us who believe in a country free from the religious intolerance and strife that has plagued so many other countries must be vigilafit in our views. I urge all of you to contact your Representatives and Senators and make all your views known.

Hydeia teaches Dlany something about life By ANDITA PARKER- LLOYD Features Ediwr Imagine sitting in a room and being told by.a ten -yearold that there is a madness going on that kills and you have to face the music.That's what happened when Hydeia Broadbent of Las Vegas came to talk about the disease that is killing her and many globally today. She told us that AIDS is the third largest killer around and that safe sex helps. She expalined to a packed Dorothy Dickson Darte CPA that, "five minutes of thrill is not worth AIDS." She of course knows about not wanting AIDS for she has to live the rest of her life with a back-pack full of her medicine to be injected into her system daily. "I can't flip it out of my mind," Hydeia said when referring to her condition. A condition that doesn't slow down her normal activities like the dishes on Tuesday nights, but does change her life. · Her speech was very enlightening and possibly was more effective to students than a grown person's speech telling them the exact same things . Hydeia interspercedsomehumorintoher speech that made her a charming as well as loveable person to meet. The audience learned that they sometimes complain about minor things that they can easily change, butHydeiacan'tchange what she has and urged the highrisk unsafe sex practicers Gunior high to college students) to practice safe sex. 'That's not the way it goes, thinking you can't get it!" said Hydeia. If the audience wasn't convinced by then, imagine having your little brother or sister telling you to have safe sex so you won't possibly catch the same diease they got and then them tell you they saw half of their freinds die of the _same disease already. \!roe l}jeacon ~age 5 Hydeia and her new found friend Kiley Morgart, of Wilkes-Barre, at the Discovery Zone.

Colonels survive home opener By JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Copy Editor It looked like a sure thing in the mens' basketball home opener on Tuesday night. The Colonels went into the locker room at the half with an 37-26 lead, and it looked as though the team was just beginning to come alive, building a 15-point lead early in the second half. But that lead dissipated quickly and Wilkes was forced to play comeback to defeat the Utica College Pioneers. Center Jason Turner scored 10 points in an impressive first half for the Colonels. Turner recieved ample help from forwards Eric Davis and Matt LaBuda, who added nine and eight first-half points, respectively. The Colonels played well early in the second half, main- t}age 7 taining a double-digit lead for nearly the first ten minutes. But then Utica's Rick Bush hit a three-pointer that ignited a Pioneer fire. Utica scored 12 unanswered points and regained the lead for the first time since early in the first half, 60-59, with just over 7:00 remaining in the game. Chris Parker tied the game, 67-67 , with a bucket from the charity stripe and then gave Wilkes a 69-67 lead on a fast break with 1:55 remaining. The Colonels (3-0) were not about to let this lead dissolve, using some aggressive, yet smart defense and clutch freethrow shooting to wrap up the win. Turner led Wilkes with 19 points and 9 rebounds. Parker finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Davis had 14, and Matt LaBuda, coming off two very impressive games (27 and 18 points) chipped in 12.

Schroeder ran in for the two point conversion that tied the game. Stony Brook won the coin toss in overtime and elected to play defense. However, the first play for the Colonels went for 22 yards on a screen pass to Elijah Powell. Three plays later, Perry ran it in from two yards out and Joel O'Donnell added the extra point. Stony Brook got to the Colo11els' 14 yard line before a Woodward interception. The tiebreaking rule states that if the first team in possession scores, the next team must match it or Wilkes wins. Wilkes took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter, when Powell scored the first of his two touchdowns from three yards out. Ryan Alston was the main weapon on the drive when he dazzled the crowd on a 29 yard reception ~ Late in the first, Powell scored from 7 yards out to make it 14-0. Stony Brook 9ffense started to move the ball a little, to record a 29 yard field goal, however, a personal foul penalty set that field goal up. Perry engineered a later drive in the second quarter, as the MVP of the game scored from nine yards out for a 21-3 half-time lead. Stony Brook quarterback Schroeder only completed four passes in the first half, but was unstoppable in the second half. First he marched Stony Brook 53 yards and diving in from 2 yards out, and closed the gap 21-10. Then after Stony Brook settled for a field goal on another drive, he took them 56 yards in the fourth quarter to tie the game. Mike Gundersdorf finished the day with eight receptions for 109 yards while Perry finished his career with over 5,000 yards in the air. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Run for the hungry By REGINA FRAPPOLLI NeH·s Editor Hunger and Homelessness week at Wilkes University began with the run for the hungry on Sunday, November 13. Beginning at 2 pm, several students assemb led in front of the Center for Performing Arts, with their running shoes on, to participate in the three-mile run to benefit local soup kitchens. Donated from Boscov's were two $25 gift certificates, which were give n to the male and female that finished first. The winners were Sheila Bubbaforthe females and Phil Marko for the males. "Although there were not as many applicants as expected, it was still nice to see a few of the students showing their support," said Amy Mazur, Community Service Coordinator. "A good amount of money was raised for the soup kitchens and that is all that re~lly matters." Students help to raise money for the hungry. Photo by Meghan La Vigna �Equality for those who are hungry & homeless By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor On Tuesday, November 15, faculty, staff and students joined together in Rumours to participate in the Hun ger and Homelessness panel discussion. Partici pants i nclude d : Bruce Davidson, advocate for the Home less, Jose ph Cosgrove, Esq. , attorney in Lu zurne County , Vin ce Kabacinski, director of VISION she lte r, Ann e Marie Mcc awley, direc tor of St. Vincent DePaul Kitclien and Dr. Ashirn Bashu, professor of Political Science and Public Administration at Wilkes University. Joining in to head the discu ssion was Thomas McCaffrey, professor of Health Administration. He acted as the Master of Ceremonies and helped to administer the presentations given by the panelists. The main fu nction of the discussion was to "bring consciousness and awareness to.the community regarding the hun- gry and the homeless," said Dr. Christopher Breiseth, president of Wilkes University in his opening remarks. · No other spe aker could bring a better understanding of what it is like to be homeless, than Davidson. As a recovering alcoholic and former homeless person, Davidson said, "At 39, I am just beginning to live my life." Although Davidson would like to blame his homelessness on the Republicans or the Nixon Administration, he said, "I owe it all to low self-esteem, a dysfunctional family and the sense of false pride." Davidson claims he was lucky that he ended up in Scranton, since they provide numerous opportunities to aid the homeless. Due to his willingness to help himself, Davidson entered the 12-step program and is in the process of rebuilding his life. Most of the panelists mirrored Davidson' s thoughts and words and explained how important it is fo r the community to recognize the homeless as THRIFTY BEVERAGE 734 Sans Souci Parkway (next to McDonald's) 1/4,s BEER 1/2,s LOWEST PRICES BALLS LARGEST SELECTION LARGEST SELECTION MICRO BREWS-IMPORTS 823- 1/4's &· 1/2's 211 7 BIRCH BEER AVAILABLE HOURS 9-9 equals. Cosgrove explained how the homeless are just like everyone else but "they were unfo rtuna te e n ough to get caught up in the vicious cycle." Mccaw ley agree d that "hunger has no limit-all kinds of people come." From this general statement, the discussion turned to the floor. Kabacinski asked the students, "What would you do if you found out two minutes ago your family was killed in a fire and in an instant you lost everything? Nothing is left. You have no one to go to and no money to live on. NOTHING ! What would you do?" "The first thing I would do is look in the paper and get my se lf a j ob," said Chad Edwards, a student at Wilkes. ."There are hundreds of want ads." Immediately the panelists became disturbed. Kabacinski explained how hard it was for a homeless person to get a job since they had nowhere to start. "We can not just expect the homeless to live normal when they have been out on the streets for so long," said Kabacinski. They have been deprived of simple things that we take fo r granted fo r so long-like taking a shower, warm shoes in the · winter.. .We need some type of transaction pro gram so they can learn how to get their lives back in °i:~:~son agreed with the other panelists that it is hard to start over, explaining that it takes a great deal of cooperation and willingness to help yourself. "Just like I have a hard time identifying with your lifestyle, you would have a hard time identifying with mine," said Davidson. "Sooner or later, it all equals out."

The Wilkes-Barre area was in an economic downturn because of the declining mining industry. Wilkes stepped forward to take a leading role in dealing with this and many other related issues by working with local civic and business leaders and community governments. One area rel ated to dollars and cents was that Wilkes was very generous with economic aid for students who otherwise would not have been able to attend college. For a great majority of us, including many Korean War veterans, this was, in fact, the only way we gained a college edu cation. We were fortunate for that aid, plus we were fortunate to be associated with professors and administrators who played the leading role in esta blishing Wilkes' early outstanding reputation and some of whom are today considered legends. These included: Eugene Farley, John Chwalek, George Ralston, Chuck Reif, "Mike" Michelini, Catherine Bone, Eugene Hammer, Art Hoover, Welton Farrar, Al Groh, Hugo Mailey, Cromwell Thomas, John Reese, Millie Gittins, Stanko and Nada Vujica, Francis Salley, Alfred Bastress, Sam Rosenberg, Stan W asileski, Voris Hall, Sheldon Cohen, Torn Richards, Joseph Kanner and Bronis Kaslas. While I have many, many fond memories and experiences, I would like to relate two. The first was freshrn~ hazing which took place during the beginnin5 of the fall semester and lasted two or three weeks. As freshman, y.;e had to wear a Wilkes tie, dink, button, and name tag. We had £~ cordially greet upperclassmen, refrain from smoking on campus and penalties included wearing two different shoes and pajamas, lipstick on boys, pants rolled to the knees, always carrying an open umbrella and wearing potato sacks or bags for dresses. The hazing program for fr~shrnen ended with a tug-of-war with upperclassmen. This event was always won by the upperclassmen because they were on both ends of the rope. The purpose of hazing was to invite us into the student body. We never had any problems and everyone enjoyed much laughter, fun and an overall good time. The second fo nd memory and fun eventoccured in 1960 when the Class of 1961 sponsored a donkey basketball tournament. Several teams competed including orie composed of faculty and administrators, one from Theta Delta Rho sorori ty, and one fro m former students. The donkey~ wore special shoes designed not to damage the gym t1oor and they were trained to do some interesting things. A player had to be seated on the donkey to score. The faculty team included George Ralston in a top hat and Dr. Mike Michelini in a pilot' s helmet. As the games went on, it was evident that the ladies from Theta Delta Rho might win. The thing we knew was that the ladies had two new players that weren' t very good. (George Ralston and Dr. "Mike" in dresses and hats.) Needless to say, the sorority team quickly collapsed and the tournament ended in a tie. I don't know how much longer donkey basketball continued. We had events in 1960 and 1961 with the gym packed with spectators, all enjoyning it tremendous. Fred R.

But if you can get your facts straight in the first place, you needn't was.te your time on corrections. Last week,.the Chatter incorrectly reported that it was Tim Worley who was forced from football due to head trauma. With the flexibility of a Wilkes construction deadline, we now change our story. Merrill Hoge was the Chicago Bear who retired because of head injuries. Tim Worley was suspended for drug abuse. I'm obviously suffering from a little of both. With that out of the way, here are a few issues to ponder as you stuff your turkey (i( you know what I mean). Issue 1 Last week's scathing Editorial. I never knew you could say@#?*%! in the newspaper. Incidentally, I have no idea what that means; I just like the way it looks. New column title: Idle @$#&! Chatter. Seriously, the reaction of this column mirrors the sentiment of most people on campus who have expressed their opinion to me, hoping I'll put their names in the paper (kidding!). The message was correct, but the word choice was inadequate. With it being Parent' s Weekend here on campus , many parents were offended at the choice of language. They .weren't the only ones. Issue 2 A reason to write my column this week: Walking out of the Bookstore with Monday's New York Times , one Chatter head remarks that she reads the column religiously. Thank you. Issue 3 A reason to say @$#& ! more often in my column : one hour later, that same Monday, another Chatter reader remarks that she is going to read last week 's column. After reading the first line, she lets loose on this massive yawn. Once again , thank you. Issue 4 Speaking of the New Yo rk Times, did you catch last Thursday's crying towel edition? The Times, now j ust slightly to the ri ght of Th e Village Vo ice, lamented the massive Republican gains in both the House and Senate. Never fear , the Times cooed, this probably won 't last long anyway. Better change that motto from "All the News That' s Fit to Print" to "Liberal Democrats and the Newspaper that Loves Them. " Issue 5 The death of Pedro Zamora of MTV ' s "Real World" fam e. Anyone who has seen this often unw atchable show kno·ws that these characters are selected by the higher ups at MTV. It has been suggested by many better than this columnist that Zamora was chosen only because he had the AIDS virus and the MTV execs knew he would die. Zamora should be martyred, but not because MTV used him like a slab of beef. Pedro remained true to his principle of educating the viewers that anyone can contract HIV. His work will not soon be forgotten . As for the principles of the people at MTV, your guess is as good as mine. .< Issue 6 So what are you stuffing your turkey with? I know , I know; you're going to tell me to@$#&! . . That's all for now. Have a good @$#&!

Everyone whose parents came up enjoyed themselves and some even partied at Keenan's at the Ramada on the Square for the aftergame huddle. Therivalry withKing's ,our neighboring school, gave lots excitement as the game ended in our favor. "It gave us a common rivalry. We put King's in their place," said Maiisa Rae, a junior. Some stundents took their parents tailgating. "It was fun. My mom and I went tailgating,"saidMarci Albeit, a senior. Her mom agreed it was fun and she hasn't missed one Family Day in Albe1t's school yeai· at Wilkes. "She showed me how to tailgate which she didn't do before," said Dorothy Albert. Gary Scott's mom Sheryl Johnson said,"I'm going to miss coming to them when he graduates. It's warm here at Wilkes compared to big schools." What wasn't planned for half time was the behea_ding of the Colonel that resulted when John Dorsey, the Colonel and ex-cheerleader tried to help with the microphone. Dorsey is a senior and said that his position of Colonel started with the Homecoming bonfire and his first game was the Homecoming game. · "I was secretive at first game just in case I didn't like it," said Dorsey" but my friends t1gured it out." During this last regular season game against King 's he said,"King's were hostile to me when I went over to the other side as I usually do. I hear·d the Boo's almost immediately."

In 1982, guitarists Dave Mustaine and then corded in Phoemx, Arizona, at Fat Planet m Hangar Metallica bandmate James Hetfield developed a new and exciting guitar style driven by speed riffing, profuse distortion, and rip-roaring volume. After parting ways with Metallica due to personal-problems, Mustaine used this fn;~h and furious sound to form Megadeth in the doldrums of Los Angeles when glam rock was peaking. Through their first three albums, Megadeth's personnel changed as quickly as Madonna's hair color. Finally in 1990, Mustaine and longtime bassist Dave Ellefson hired an intense, eastem influenced lead guitarist named Marty Friedman and astrong and reliable drummer named NickMenza to solidify the band.

He did not finish college at Old -I By L YNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Editor-in-Chief How do Linus, basketball, rum raisin ice cream and theology all fit together? Ask Jason Turner. It's his life. Although the 6-foot-7inch, 23-year old basketball player can seem intimidating at first glance, it only takes one of his bright smiles to show his waim personality. The junior communications major is Wilkes University's secret weapon on the court. Turner has been playing basketball since he was in fifth grade and shows no signs of stopping after college; he has aspirations of playing professional basketball after graduation. But basketball is not the only life he has. His true loves, off the court, are people, their music and their cultures. Ask Turner which type of music is his favorite and you will have to wait to get your answer until he takes off his headphones. Continually glued to his CD walkman, Turner experiences all forms of music from R&B to rap and reggae. Where does the reggae come into play? From his Jamaican heritage. Turner 's mother, Winsome, a Jamaican native , moved to London, where she met and maITied his father, Michael. Six years later, they moved to the U.S. where Turner has lived for the past 17 years. But, not in one place, of course. His father was an Air Force serviceman _ and the family moved from one base to another. But adapting was not difficult for him. He spoke two international languages: music and basketball. When entering a new neighborhood or a new school, he only needed to speak these languages to be accepted by those around him . See C.B. in Colonels of the Week. With all of his experience, both abroad and at Wilkes, it is no wonder why his philosophy is, "Who is to judge? Who are they to cast the first stone? We are all here to live with one another, so let us live." Photo by Meghan La Vigna Jason Turner With this philosophy, it is clear that Turner's feet are firmly planted on the top of the key and he can either slam dunk reality or take it from the outside shot.

Powell fumbled on the Colonels · first two possessions and both were recovered by King's. The second resulted in a 91yard drive for the Monarchs, capped off by Dwayne Weldon's 2-yard touchdown run that put the Monarchs on top early. "We passed up a lot of opportunities early," said Coach Joe DeMelphi. "The fumbles caused some problems." But, things could not go the Monarchs way all afternoon. The Colbnels' defense began to tighten down on the wishbone offense of the Monarchs, taking away the ground game and leaving them with little else. "They played us tough early on, but they couldn't stay with us for four quarters," said senior defensive back Ben Mc Keown. "They certainly improved a lot since last year though." · Boo Perry ( 10-16, 164 yai·ds, 61 yards rushing) connected with Mike Gundersdorf on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the second quarterto bring the Colonels within 7-6. The Elijah Powell school of rushing opened session shortly thereafter. Powell scored on a 4yard run to give the Colonels a 12-7 lead going back to the locker room for halftime. In the third quarter, he broke loose and exploded down the left sideline on a 55-yard touchdown run, extending the Colonels' lead to 19-7. Powell then put the game out of read~, catching a short Perry pass and scooting 22 yards into the end-zone. The Wilkes defense was led by linebacker Bob Delbo. The senior finished hist'inal regularseason game with an astounding 19 tackles, finishing the season with 120. Six other Colonels recorded double-figure tackles on Saturday.

Colonels earn ECAC bid By MICHA~L BUTCHKO and JOHN-ERIK KOSLOSKY Columnist and Copy Editor, respectively The Wilkes University football team learned on Sunday that it will be seeing post-season play for the second consecutive year. The Colonels will he facing the Stony Brook Seawolves on Saturday in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Championships. The Colonels (8-2) are the second seed from the Southern Region. The Sea wolves (7-3) are the top seed from the Metro New York/New Jersey Region and will be hosting Wilkes for the Southeast Title. The two teams exchanged films on Sunday, since neither had the chance to see the other team play this year. "They run a lot of the same offensive formations as we do." saidCoachJoeDeMelphi. "They like to throw . .. and they have great potential to move the football." "I think we should match up ptetty well," said defensive back Ben McKeown. "But, it will be difficult to tell how good they really are until we step on the field on Saturday.'' Defensively, however , Stony Brook runs a diiferent formatio·n than the Colonels are used to seeing, with a four-man front, four linebackers and three defensive backs. "It should be a good game," said offensive lineman Keith Fox. "If we play to our capabilities, we should win." The Seawolves are seeing post-season play for the first time on Saturday, but are coming off a 54-0 victory over UMass-Lowell in which they racked up 599 yards of total offense. - The Colonels' will be playing post-season football for the second straight year, something that DeMelphi feels will ~ertainly help in recruiting. "The possibility of post-season play," will certainly help to keep talented players coming to Wilkes. The post-season game is also very important for the seniors on the team. For some, it may be The last time they put on the pads. "they have been a big part of the turnaround here," said DeMelphi . "It's nice to know that they will play again in the post-season." In the other ECAC Title game, top-seeded Frostburg State will face Kean College. Frostburg State eliminated Wilkes in the first round of the NCAA playoffs last year,bringing one of the Colonels' finest seasons to an end. Kean College was forced to fmfeit their victory over Widener because of the participation of an ineligible player. Kean is the second seed from the Metro New York/New Jersey Region.

But, due to their huge success, they have decided to make November 13 through November 17 a week full of activites and chances to show the community a bit of generosity. Events begin with a threemile run for hunger at 2 pm on River and South Streets,which will be held to benefit local soup kitchens. Registration starts at 1 pm in front of the Dorothy DicksonDarte Center. There is an entry fee of $5. Gift certificates for $25 each will be awarded to the first male and female participant to cross the finish line. Later Sunday · evening at 7:30pm in StarkLeamingCen- ter room 1, Dr. James Merryman , assistant professor of Sociology/ Anthropology and Director of International Studies will present a speech on his days in the Peace Corps. Monday's activities consist of various volunteer drives such as a soup kitchen and coats for the homeless. Volunteers are needed. To expeliencethetruesense of being without shelter, asleepout will be held at the Bell Tower from 9:30 pm to dawn. Also throughout the week are various presentations , prayer services, and a continuous film series headed by professors and actual homeless people, who will reveal the perspec ti ves on hunger and homelessness. Throughout the week donations of food and money will be collected at information tables across the campus. All students are asked to be aware of hunger and homelessness and be involved in the search for solutions. 'The programs planned for this week offer us a chance to consider our good fortunes and the harsher realities of others in our midst," stated the Hunger and Homeless Task Force, "all help would be greatly appreciated."

W ilkes gets wild in the Streets Over the past few weeks, the Student Community Servic es Council, in conjunction with several other student organizations, worked to organize several volunteer projects for Into the Streets. By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Duling the week of N ovember 1 through 6, Wilkes University students participated in Into the Streets. It is a nationwide program that introduces more college students to community service activities in an effort to challenge them to volunteer on a regular basis.

Last year, Wilkes University was one of 120 colleges and universities nationwide that participated in this all important program. The event drew over 200 student volunteers goingoutinto the Wilkes-Barre community who worked on 20 different projects. This year, over the one week peliod, 27 projects took place. Newspapers such as The Times Leader and TJ:te Citizen 's Voice along with Channel 16 Newscameoutto give live coverage of a number of events, Specific events such as the movie with children from divorced or abusive homes, sponsored by Campus Interfaith in coordination with Saint Nicholas School Gym, was such a huge success that the participants have been invi_ted back on a regular basis. Coordinated by Dan Smith, domestic violence featured a table display, a relation speaker and several drives for abused children. "Overall, this year was the most successful ever," stated Amy Mazur, coordinator of Volunteer Se!·vices. "Not only did we have a numberof volunteers, but many people attended the various activites. We are very pleased with the outcome." All students who participated as volunteers received a free Into the Streets T-shirt and ended the week with a reflection dinner so that volunteers could share their experiences.

The people at this school really piss me off. Not only are they non-committal, irresponsible and immature, they are also selfish whiners. What makes me think this way? Well, I am glad you asked. Take for instance, the now available Sports Editor position. How many have we been through now? (We are working on our fourth one this semester for all of you who have been counting.) But, our on-again, off-again Sports Editor(s) is (are) just one . example of the attitude that has infected this student body. A more mild form of this infectious attitude, can be observed in the lack of letters to the editor. Have you no opinion people? And, if you d_on' t, then why the hell do we slave every week to publish a paper for the "Wilkes community?" Does it really matter? Does anyone out there read it? Hello? Is anyone out there? Maybe I should clarify; is anyone out there who cares? Who has enough initiative to think who cares? Who has enough initiative to think, care and do something about it? _ Everyon~ here bitches and complains, but will anyone do anything to change anything? Vague term, I know, but I am beginning to think that is all this community can understand. Being vague allows room for laziness, carelessness and ignorance. Hmm ... sounds like some of the people I see on campus. As for the few people on campus that are active and try to right the wrongs you run into, I commend you. Trying to talk to a brick wall can be very difficult Keep up the good work. And if they really begin to drive you nuts, tell them to kiss your *!@ #* To the rest of you, next time you want to criticize someone about the way they do something, why don't you try to do it better.

See, there was this fell ow from Arizona named Barry Goldwater, who took the Republican party just a bit too far to the right that year, and lost the Presidential election by a minor landslide. Now, I really do like Barry Goldwater (you folks figure that one 011t.) But the fact is, Dan Quayle, Phil Gramm, and friends are not Barry Gold waters. So, now that the history lesson is over, what do these facts have to do with anything? Nineteen-ninety six is shaping up to be another sixty-four. I guarantee it. Whenever a political party moves too far to one extreme - such as the Republicans in '64 and the Democrats in '72 - it tends to lose. Badly. And now, you can add to that list 1996. The Republicans won this election by exploiting anger. This election was not a mandate for conservatism, it was an election of anger and frustration. Try telling them that. Over the next two years, as the Republicans attempt to govern, they will split into two distinct factions: the Christian Conservatives and the Fiscal Consen atives, and these two groups will be at each others throats. Both of these groups will attempt to say that they are the reason for the '94 win. And the Christian Conservatives will win that battle. But, they will lo$e the war. They are just too far to the right of the American mainstream. And, in '96, we will get our chance to take our country back. I guarantee it. 1 HUNGER+ HEBIDEL€SSN€SS Sunday November 13th Run for Hunger 2:00 pm River and South Streets three-mile run to benefit local soup ·itchens.

It's been a while since this column began with a song lyric, so Bob Seger was nice enough to provide one. As the deadline approached, the Chatter was once again a ship without a captain, wandeling aimlessly. Then it hit me; we're going to discuss a four-letter word that begins with "f." Now before Tania, our brand new Copy Editor, gets nervous, the word for today is fear. Fear hit this columnist in the face twice these past few days, and both times made an impact. The issues being . . . Issue 1 Tuesday's Fear. I did my civic duty on Tuesday morning and voted. . Being an election nerd, I was relatively bewildered at the American electorate swinging like an ape from a vine over to the side of the Republicans. If Tuesday morning taught this voter anything, it's that a certain sect of the American electorate is terrified. Being born in an economically stagnant valley and a senior citizen town, I've always been amazed at the impact seniors have on Washington. Yet as I waited in line to cast my ballot, I heard older folks discussing Rick Santorum as Public Enemy No. 1. They weren't angry; they were scared. They were scared enough in Swoyersville that over 300 voters showed up in the first four hours at just one of the towns many precincts. This column was written before the election results came in, but the jury has returned on seniors: · they're frightened, and rightfully so; and no matter what your age bracket is, that's sad. Issue 2 See any good football this weekend? How about Tom Waddle of the Chicago Bears getting speared in the chin by Thomas Everett of the Buccaneers? Or Don Beebe being rendered unconscious by the New York Jets from a helmet-to-helmet collision? Now don't expect the Chatter to side with the Op-Ed page of th~ New York Times and suggest that football be banned. But something needs to be done to further protect these · players. You want fear? Take Tim Worley, formerly of the Bears, who was forced to retire because of too many concussions, the impact of which ranged from splitting headaches to total memory loss. Or Al Toon, fo1merly of the New York Jets, who still suffers from post-concussion syndrome, and considers himself to be only 80 percent mentally functional, even after being away from the game for two years. Bottom line: any player leading with-the crown of the .helmet should get thrown out of the game. Any player suffering a concussion should be forced to sit out at least one week.

Staff Writer tie. With 9:53 remaining in the first half, sophomore forward Tonya Massen heimer p u t Wilkes on top 1-0. Seven minutes later, Dickinson tied the contest with a goal by Sarah Dawn. In the shootout, Cres twood products Angie Polny and Kim Kaskel netted goals, along with junior forward Heather Quick, w ho clinched the victory. Goalie Tracy Engle denied all Dickinson shooters the thrill of scoring a goal. Not only did Saturday's win give the lady Colonels a chance at the title, it also gave them their 12th victory of the season, a new Wilkes single-season Brockport j umped out to a 1-0 lead on a goa l by Amy Jacobowitz with 30:00 remaining in regulation. Wilkes would answer fo ur min utes later with an unassisted goal by Kaskel. The 1-1 tie stood for tw o scoreless overtime periods, leaving the title to be determined by a shootout. When a torrential rainstorm erupted , so did the Wilkes shooters. Polnv connected to put Wi lke s up 1-0, afte r Brockp ort' s fi rst shot was stopped. Following a successful Brockport tying stroke, Amy Pyle converted to put Wilkes ahead for good. Kaskel would give the Lady Colonels a two goal advantage after drilling a shot into th e ca But, Brockportkepttheirhopes alive with a stroke that bounced in off the goal post. Quick, once again, ended the shootout with the clinc hing goal, giving Wilkes its second ECAC title in as many years. The Lady Colonels (13-71) finished their most successful season in school history in appropriate fashion. "It' s the mos t rewarding wav to end the season. especially for our seniors," said Malatesta. "I credit a lot of our success to our senior leadership. W hen you' re in postseason play, you always think about the seniors," continued Malatesta. Kim Kaskel was named the MVP of the ECAC Cham ship tournament for the second year in a row. However, Tracy Engle would have been a valid choice as well. Engle had 23 saves against Brockport. She also handled the extreme pressure of the shootouts with great poise. Engle stopped opposing strokers with an array of hand, stick, and split saves, giving the Wilkes strokers a legit shot to win the games. Going into the ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Championship To urnament in Brockport, NY this past weekend, the Lady Colonels had two objectives. The fi rst was to win the ECAC championship. The second was to prove that they are a better team than they ;eemed to be in a 5-0 loss to Messiah in the MAC title game two weeks ago. The Lady Colonels had Ii ttle difficulty accomplishing either goal. Wilkes conquered the pressure of the championship atmosphere and the unfavorable weather conditions to win their second consecutive ECAC Division III Mid-Atlantic Title. "Weweremotivated by the oppo1tunity for redemption, for both the program and the players," said Head Coach Addy Malatesta. Wilkes defeated two highcaliber squads of Dickinson College and host SUNYBrockport in overtime shootouts to bring home the championship. The entire tournament was played in inte1mittent rain showers with the deciding shootout taking place in a gusty rainstorm blowing off Lake Ontario . "The weather this time of year in upstate New York isn' t conducive with the sport of field hockey," said Malatesta. The Lady Colonels advanced to the title game by up1st row-Shannon O'Neill, Jeanette Uhl, Brandi Erlacher, Steph Hastings, Amy Pyle, Nikki Reisinger, Carrie <:::hipego, Jessica Azarewicz, 2nd rowending Dickinson in a 3-0 -Assitant Coach Mary Jo Hromchak, Heather Evanish, Angie Polny, Heather Quick, Tracy Engle, Phuong Bui, Tonya Masenheimer, Lee Meyers, Head shootout on Saturday, after both Coach Addy Malatesta 3rd row--Kim Tremel, Becky Farrington, Nancy Lowery, Sue Richardson, Noell Brooks, Kim Kaskel, Theresa Havel, Christy teams battled·to a 1-1 overtime Palilonis, Sherri O'Brien, Laura Gantz Photo courtesy of Sports lnfomation The entire field hockey team was named Lady colonels of the week! �~ouember 10, 1994 ~be ,ieacon ~toker on~ports with Aaron Stoker There is a lot of talk about who is No. 1 in the college foo tball polls. Nebraska and Penn State fans both feel that they deserve to be No. 1. In my opinion, Nebraska dese1-=¥es to be No. 1. The Cornhuskers dominated Colorado. Enough said. What about Alabama? They are the team that is 9-0. They are the team with 12 Nafio nal Championships. If you have ignored them so far this year, you will soon be hearing from them. If Alabama goes undefeated, they will have beaten Mississippi State, Auburn, Florida arid Florida State in co nsecutive weeks. Much has been said about Alabama quarterback Jay Barker. Not much of it is good. I will say one thing about Barker: he is the greatest quarterback in the history of college football. A football team's success is measured by wins. Jay Barker has a record of 321-1. Here are this week's P1ime-Time picks. (Home team in CAPS.) Vikings (2-1/2) over PATRIOTS The Yikes should be giving more than two-and-a-half points to the Pats. Warren Moon was awesome last week against the saints, passing for 420 yards. former Meyers Mohawk Quadry Ismail scored the winning touchdown for Minnesota. New England played horribly in their loss to Cleveland last week. Like I predicted, Drew Bledsoe had one of his worst games. This game should be an easy one for the Yikes. Their defense will shut down any offense Bill Parcells tries to utilize. Do not be surprised if the Vikings defense scores more points than the Pats offense in this game. BENGALS (pick 'em) Qilers Cincinati won their first game of the season last week. Who is this Jeff Blake guy? The Seahawks know him aU-to well. Blake threw fo r 387 yards. Kicker Doug Pelfrey was the real hero in this game ; kicking six field goals. His sixth was the overtime game-winner. The Houston Oilers offense cost them the game last week against the Steelers. The Oiler defens e pretty much stuffed a great Steeler · ground game. Jack Pardee will not last the entire season as head coach. I expect a close , low-scoiing game. The B.engals will win this one. Houston will then be the proud owners of the worst record in the NFL. 49'ERS (-3) over Cowboys I will not say much about this game. I would probably end up getting fans of both teams angry. These two teams are awesome; great defense, great offense and great special teams. I see two fac tors that might affect this game. One, the game is at C andlestick Park. Two, Dallas is coming off a Monday night game. This game look~ to be the making of a classic. By the end of the ,veek, this srread could be a pick. Jlage 11 Colonels of the week The Lady Colonels Field Hockey Team A team ' s success in any sport depends on the team 's total effort. The Lady Colonels won their second consecutive ECAC Mid-Atlantic Championship over the weekend. They defeated Dickinson College in a si1ootout and SONY-Brockport in a shootout to win the championship. <I> With these wins, the Lady Colonels broke the rec ord fo r most wins in a season by a Wilkes field hockey team. Junior forward Kim Kaskel won the ECAC Mid-Atlantic Tournament MVP Award for the second consecutive year. She tallied three goals in the tournam ent. Four Lady Colonels played their fin al games in the tourn ame nt. They are Nancy Lowery, Am y Pyle, Steph Has tin gs and Angie Poln y. Congratulations go out to the Lgdy Colonels field hockey team fo r another outstanding season ! FLORIDA (-27) over South Caroli na The Gators have the best depth at quarterback in the entire country. Danny Weurffel , Terry Dean and now E1ic Kresser lead this potent offense. Florida blows out any unranked team. When they play a good team, they lose. South Carolina is not a good team I expect a blow-out in the "Swamp." Colorado (-13-1/2) over KANSAS Jayhawk fans, take heart. Basketball season is here. So much emphasis is put on baske tball at Kansas, tl1at they forgot how to rec ru it a good football team. Why did Kansas sched ule Nebraska and Colorado back-to-back anyway? Colorado has shown that they have heart, winning all of their games after the Nebraska disaster. I still believe that the Buffalos have one of the best offenses in the country. They sho.w their stuff in Jayhawk land. Rashaan Salaam needs a big game to keep his Heisma n Trophy votes. Alabama (-3) over MISSISSIPPI STA TE I have started my case with Alabama's title chances . They played uncharacte ristically against LSU. Going into the game, ' Barna had just six turnovers. Against LSU, they turned over the ball four times. Ironically, the 35 points that they scored against LSU was . the highest point total they had since their opener against Tennessee-Chattenooga. Mississippi St. Coach Jackie Sherrill would · love nothing better than to beat Alabama. What you want and what you get are two different things. ' Barna wins this one by a small margin. Mike Gundersdorf '~ ~ Mike, a sophomore wide receiver, had a-¼ec ord settin g day in the Colonels' win over Susquehanna. Gundersdorf caught 11 passes for 236 yards. The 236 yards he gained is a new Wilkes record. Gundersdorf also scored two touchdowns. He made the ECAC honor roll for his outstanding performance. On the year, Gundersdorf has 47 catches for 799 yards. He also has four touchdowns. Mike is from Hackettstown,NJ.

On October 22, MoITison ·s Food Company left Wi l kes, due to the end of their co ntract. Metz & Associates, Ltd. oft'ered Wilkes a lower bi d and were accepted as the new food service. Although it has only been a short time si nce thi s took place, many positi ve changes have been made to the cafeteria. Sporti ng the school colors, blue ancl gold linens decorate the tables. With a sl ight adjus tment in the arrangement, the salad i tern s, soups, and condiments have been separated . The deli no l onger is part o f the servi ng area, but is stati oned in i ts own co rner. A nother change was the way the ca feteria wo rkers are dresse d and how they prese nt themse lves.

Drezak, wh o had worked w ith Mo1Ti son ' s for 14 years, was unsure of wh at he w ould do when Wilkes changed food services . A lthough people we re concerned w heth er or no t ~ . Drezak w ould ha ve to leave, he states, " I feel fo rtunate I am allowccl to remain at Wilkes." In coo rdinati on with the changes in th e cak teri a· s style, th e food menu is also under rev isi on.

Remem ocr Queensryche? Over die past two years, this progressive rock quintet was locked away in a big log cabin, on a secluclcd island in nonhwestem Washington, recording their long-awaited LP, Promised Land . Promised Land is not a conceptual LP as l988's Operation: Mindc1ime was. Rather, it is a collection of songs wid1 intern ining diemes of We, deadi and cve1ything in between, from an intro f)l.'Cti ve standpoint. Queensryche (GeoffTate-vocals, ChJis Dt.'<:iaimo-guitar, Michael Wilton-guitar, Eddie Jackson-bass, Scott Rockenleld-drums) is talented widi intelJigent musicians who have tile ability to consitently wtite distincti ve songs.

On Promi<;ed Land , Queenst)'Che incorporates acoustic guitar, acoustic piaiio, cello and sa.xophone witll their already genuine sound to create modern rock compositions unique to the 1990' s.

"Disconnected" is motivated by tile rhythm St.-X:tion and a jumpy, yet simple guitar riff What makes this song different is tile lead vocal consl!uction and odier assoned vocal noises. Tate's deep talking of die verses sets up the simple four-syllable choms, "Dis-con-nect-ted" ixrfectly. Tiie laid-back and moody title-u·ack sounds like it may explode from the get-go. but Q11eensryche knows when to play and when not Lo play.

By LUCIA PJCCOLINO Sroff Wrirf:'r What is Ll1is? A gla'>s area being put in Stark lobby for studcnL<; who smoke') Yes, it is true. A proposal was made last year to make sections or Wilkes University campus buildings smoke free. One or Ll1osc buildings is Stark Learning Center. The g]a<;s room that you will be able to smoke in is being constructed on the carpeted area in the lobby. '·J think a smoke free aim is a good idea for Ll1osc people who can· t abide with cigai-ctte smoking for astl1matic or physical reasons; said Jan Kijowski. ··1do not presently smoke, but I did for more then IO ycai·s, before I decided to quit, and I don 't pretcr to be ai·ound it.'' When the proposal wm; acted upon, the 01iginal idea was to develop a system similar to that in the airpons of San Francisco, where smokers are allowed only in Ll1e glass-enclosed smoking area. "I do smoke and I feel Ll1at it's not a good idea for this glass area being attented for Ll1e smokers," said Vivian Naughton. Lonst11.1clion began thiS \veek. Large ventilation fans W\: being installed to ventilate the smoke outside. There is a sensitivity to Ll1e fact Ll1at Stark lobby is the only area tor commuter students. The 01iginal proposal was proposed by Andy Mazzeo, Student Government president, who was not available to comment on Ll1e proposal and who is not a commuter. In PresidentBreiscLl1 ·slettcrto the Wilkescommunity, he mentions Ll1at.'·Societal responsibilitiesrequire Ll1atsuch pursuit must not impinge upon on asimilai· pursuit by others. For some. one aspect ol"happiness is Ll1c enjoyment or a cigcu-ctte. for 0Ll1crs. happiness requires that their space be smoke-free. Both attitudes ai·c valid ai1d must be respected. ·111e policies explained in this letter arc designed tu respect the 1ighLi; or b0Ll1 smokers and non-smokers and to keep our campus ai1d facilities a<; clean and plci.1sai1t a'> possible." 1l1csc provisions ai·e effective immediately except tlmse nuted below. l .1l1c Man.sCenter: Smoking is pcnnittcd only between Ll1e double duors at the front or Ll1c building. and on the second 11oor balcony. 2. Ncwcla<;sroom/ol"ticc building: When it opens in August ISJ<.J5 . this building will be smoke-free. J Other buildings: Smoking is not pc1111ittcd in public aJGL~urothcr buildings. For cxainplc. clcL'>srooms, conidors, lobbies and rcstruoms should remain smoke-free. 4. Conynghain Student Center: One dining room is designated a'> smoke-free. Smoking is pcnnittcd in the other. 5. Cainpus orticcs: Faculty ai-e a<;kcd to refrain ti·om smoking in Ll1eir ortices du1ing posted ortice hours. Staff working in orticcs which routinely serve studcnL<; ai1el/or visitors should refrain from smoking in Ll1csc ortices. 6. Stai·k lobby: A smokers' lounge will be constructed in one ponion or the lobby. 1l1is will be comfortably furnished and will be vented to Ll1c outside. 1111.:: conidors, stairwells. rcsu·ooms or Stark will be smokcrrce. 7. New/renovated buildings: As each new building iscompleted or old one renovated, a decision will be made about Ll1 c extent lo which smoking will be pcnnitted in that building. In this rcgai·d. when Capin Hall is ready for rc-cx:cupai1ey, it will be smoke-free. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Halloween Execution Scheduled ■ ■ . ■ Do ghosts 1-eally haunt Kirby HaU '1 Show up on F1iday Octobcr28 at 7J0pm ai1d lind out for yoursclf ■ : as Sigma Tau Delta and English Department Student Faculty Activ ities Coordinating: •■ Commiltec(EDSFACC) hosL<; Ll1c rounh annual Halloween Execution' •■ : Slurp, munch, and sit in Ll1 c dai-k witl1 your lcllow studc1m ai1d listen to gha<;tly talcs.

Photo hy Skve Roth On Sunday. 43 year-old Dale Earnhardl drove Lo his record-Lying seventh NASCAR Winston Cup Championship wilh his viclory in Lhe AC-Delco 500 al Lhe North Caro lina Speedway. The vicLory is his fourth or the season and his 63rd of his illusLrious fifteen-year WinsLon Cup career. Earnhardl'sl 994 title tics him with the King. Richard Petty for career championships. His ingredient for success, besides his intimidating driving tactics is simpl y consistency. Rusty Wallace can win all the races he wants, but when he's not winning his Mi ller Genuine Draft Ford is usually sitting in the garage area, while Earnhardt's Goodwrench Chevrolet is roaring around the track accumulating points. or the 29 of the seasons 31 races. Wallace has won a NASCAR leading eight times and failed to finish five times. On the other hand, Earnhardt has taken the checkered flag four times and failed to finish only twice. Whether Earnhardt starts second or 40th on raceday, the race leader will at least once see the grille of his hlack Chevy and the sly grin or the ··tntimidator" in his rear view mirror. It's ironic that Earnhardt won this years championship in North Caroli na, considering that he was horn into the racing world on April I5. 1951 in Concord, North Carolin a. His father. Ralph was a proYcn ASCAR Late Modd Sportsman driwr in the so· sand 60's. until 1973 when he died or a heart attack while working on a race car in his garage. AL that point Earnhardt. who has only a ninth-grade education did the only thin g he knew. Race car dri,·ing. He began racing seriously at little dirt tracks like Metrolina Speedway in Char lotte. where he won the 1973 Hohhy Division Championship. In 1974, he mo,·ed up to NASCAR Late Model Sportsman class where he competitive ly competed until 1978. when a wealthy California car owner named Rod Osterlund gave him a chance. Osterlund tahhed Earnhardt to drive hi s Chevrolet in Charloue ·s Octuher 500 miler. A young and aggressive Earnhardt drove to a fourth-p lace finish , trading paint with the likes of Allison and Waltrip. He also drove to a well-financed ride hy Osterlund for the full 1979 season. A season where Earnhardt took home Rookie or the Year honors. A year later, Earnhardt won his first Winston Cup Championship, an accomplishment that gained him the Wrangler Jean sponsorship. He's the only driver in history to win the Rookie or the Year title and the chainpionship in consecutive seasons. Though he won regularly in the early eighties with Bud Moore's Ford team , another championship didn ·1 come until 1986 for Richard Childress' Good wrench Che vrolet team .The Earnhardt/Childress team is cuncntly the most successful in NASCAR racing . Earnhardt raced his now legendary black #3 Chevy to the championship in 1987, ' 90, ' 91 , '93 and now ' 94.

As of October 22, 1994, Morrison· s Food Company will no longer be the primary food services of Wilkes University. Due to the end of the contract, Wilkes was forced to open up bidding opportunities. The new company, Metz, immediately offered a lower bid and the University accepted them as the new food service. Although Metz is in association with TG!Friday 's, no real changes will be made to the menu al the present time. ·The Student Government food commillee is still hoping to revise the current system, s but we wanted to wait until Metz was fo nn ally accepted so that the changes made will be enforced,"' sa id David Donlin, IRHC president. The menu may not be affected at the present time, but there is a strong question to whether or not Denny Drezek, the cafeteria manager, will be te1minated . "All the cafete1ia workers are employed by Wilkes, so they will not be affected," said Donlin. "But, since Denny is technically employed by Morrison's , we are not sure if he"ll be able to remain here at Wilkes . Al though both the students and Wilkes administrat ors would like Lo sec Drezek remain , it is not up Lo them LO decide his future .

But for whom is the work being done? Obviously students of the new phannacy school will benefit from the construction and yes, the new student union building will be much appreciated by the students. But is all of the construction really neccessary? Shouldn ' t Wilkes be working on something that has an immediate effect on the all of the students already enrolled as well as the future students of Wilkes. Shouldn ' t Wilkes work to improve what they have before they become concerned with what they don't? There is a certain facility at this school where every student must do work. A place where every student must, at one point or another, ask himself, "why is. this school so lacking?" I am referring, of course, to the library. *** I must tell you, this was my original editmial until I actually researched the number of serials and ti ties Wilkes holds as well as the library budget. After seeing these numbers on paper, I had to rethink my argument. I came to the realization that my argument had no grounds on which to stand in comparing Wilkes' library to other local private universities. Believe it or not, Wilkes actually has more holdings and a larger budget than all of the local school libraries with the exceptions of the University of Scranton. L-ibra1ian Jon Lindgren was also helpful in explaining the ever changing mission of the library since the introduction of automation. Lindgren also reminded me that once we become familiar with how to obtain infonnation and are introduced to the massive amounts of serials, we want them all, or more . eloquently said by Lindgren, "one always wants for more." Lindgren also said it is helpful when students air their frustrations ; it makes the administration aware of what the students need in their library. So, next time you get stuck, let the librarian know, they'll do their best to help you out. {EJJc j:.~cacon welcomes Letters to the Editor but requests that they be 500 words or less.

On Monday, September 26. a comprehensive tour of the campus was made by myself, Andrew Mazzeo, president of Student Go vernment , John Pesta, director of Campus Support Services, and Jack Zikoski , director of Physical Facilities. Our purpose was to ascertain and identify needs for additional lighting on campus. We have identified 16 locations where we will install/upgrade lighting to enhance visibility and the utilization of lighting as a crime deterrent. It should also be noted that the University is undertaking a concerted effort to remove overgrown shrubbery around Doane, Chase, and the elimination of the bushes along the walkway leading to Pickering from South Street.

We're all angry. And most ofus do not realize how dangerous this fact is. Look atthe politicians. watch the current debates. They ' re angry at crime, at the welfare sy~tem. at each other. And the voters are angry at them. TheGubemato1ial. Senatorial and Congressional debates have de veloped into a one-upsmanship of which candidate can be made angry. And the anger doesn't stop at the polls. Watch and listen to the talk shows. Tempers flare, ratings go up and the sponsors are happy. Go to the movies sometime. Goodguy blows away bad guy. And why are these movies so popular? We're angry at the bad guys. and we'd like to think we could blow them away, too. Listen to the popular music, full of angst and rage. Anger sells. Why do you think Ross Perot is still popular? Be angry at the system and vote for Ross. Anti-abortion loons are shooting doctors dead in the street. Why?

Hooked on Vanillo ~ ~ Dear Hooked, It doesn't sound like a good sign that he snickers when you mention itto him, for whatever reason. What's the diJference if he's snickering because you' re black or, bc"Cause he's just not interested? It would seem that if he were interested, he would use the oppo1tunities that you have given him to express it. One question: are you telling him this when you are alone or with others around? ff there are always others around, ~rhaps he is afraid to express his trne teelings. At this point, you have two choices that I see. Either ask him to explain the snicke1ing or leave it alone and let him make the next move. This is a tough one. Good luck.

The tie nulified the Colonels' six game winning streak. Despite the winning streak, the Colonels (7-7-1, 4-1-1 MAC) have . to win their remaining games and need a loss by Lycoming to make the playoffs. FDU-Madison became the first to score with just over 15 :00 remaining in the first half. With most of the action taking place in front of the Wilkes goal, a Devil forward had a = = = - ' - - - - - - - - breakaway. Colonel goalie Brian Pho to by Eric !Vl otinell o Jacobson darted out of the goal Wilkes' Bucky Craft dribbles against FDU-Madison on to successfully stuff the forward, but a following halfback got the rebound and chipped a lofting shot that reached the open goal. Seconds later, the Colonels took advantage of a corner-kick opportunity. Bucky Craft sent a beautiful kick in the air that Mike Herb got his head on, to send it into the goal. Herb ' s goal is his sixth of 1994. Not only does the Wilkes football team have a strong defense, the soccer team proved they have a tough defense as well by turning away the Devil offense all afternoon. Led by Chad Heffner, the Colonel defense frustrated the Devils, causing them to lose their temper late in regul ation play. Yellow cards \~ere flying left and right, and there was even an ejection that left the Devils with a ten-man team for the remainder of the game. TheColonels showedgreat poise and kept their cool when the Devils demonstrated cheap tactics towards them . In the overtim e pe ri ods, goalie Brian Jac obso n w as magnificent.

After shutting out Kansas City 17-0, San Diego was harshly turned away by Miami 31-0 in the divisional playoff game. Going into 1993, the Chargers were the pre-season favorite to dethrone the Bills as the AFC representative in the Super Bowl.But, the Chargers disappointed their fans and critics by falling to fourth-place in the AFC West at 8-8. It looked as if 1992 ' s winning season was just a tluke. Not only do the 1994 Chargers have the best throw-back uniforms in the NFL, they also have the best record at 6-0 and a two game lead over second place Kansas City in the crazy AFC West. They ' ve been tested and they'll continue to be tested the remainder of the season. Important victories included a 37-34 opening day win over Denver at Mile High Stadium, a 26-24 victory over the Raiders at the Colosseum and they harassed Joe Montana and the Cheifs 20-6 two weeks ago. The season 's not over yet and the Chargers know have they some tough games ahead of them. Most notably, back to back games at Atlanta and Kansas City and a west coast showdown against San Francisco. But San Diego is no longer just .an offensive team. Remember Air Coryell? Just imagine if Don Coryell had the present day Charger defense to back-up Dan Fouts' high powered offense of the early 80' s. The current Charger defense, led by defensive end Leslie O' Neal and linebacker Junior Seau, is a defense to be reckoned with in the NFL. The offense is well-rounded with running back Natrone Means, who is second in the AFC in rushing with 586 yards and first in touchdowns with eight, and quarterback Stan Humphries is the top-rated passer in the AFC. The receiving corps isn't as extravagant as Kellen Winslow, Wes Chandler and Charlie Joiner of the early 80's. They're simply efficient and led by Tony Martin, Shawn Jefferson and Ronnie Hannon, a running back who is one of the best third down receivers in the game. The last time San Diego made it to the AFC Championship game was in 1982 when they lost to the Bengals in -59 degree wind chills at Riverfront Stadium. Remember, it was one week after San Diego dekated Miami 41-38 in overtime, in or the best footbal I games ever played. Just ask Kellen Winslow. With the Chargers marquee players producing on both sides or the ball, San Diego has a serious shot at the AFC Championship and maybe this year it'll be played at a wanner site, like maybe Jack Murphy Stadium . Repeating will not be easy By JOHN-ERJK KOSLOSKY Copy Ecliror The road to the Middle Atlantic Conference title is a bumpy ride. The MAC is one of the strongest Division III football conferences in the country. The competition is tremendous, and for the Colonels, the biggest bumps are yet to come. The first true test in the MAC came last week in the Colonels' 21-15 victory over FDU-Madison. That was bump number one, and the Colonels are still on the road. Bump number two will take place this Saturday at Ralston field.

Alth ough eve ry one claimed to enjoy their night, ma ny students complained about the cost of their ticket, which didn't even inc lude an open bar. "I payed $18 for my ticket and expected that at least the drinks wo uld be free. Not only did we have to pay, but a 12 oz. beer cost $2.50. I'm soJTy, but I find that a little ridiculous," stated one anonymous Wilkes student. Jim Talerico also stated, "although the food was good and I had a really great time, I think another choice of food could have been offe red . Maybe next year, they could set up some sort or buffet.'' The following day, Wilkes hosted Juanita for their annual Homecoming football game. Students, parents, and alumni from all over, crowded into Ralston Field where the Students request Tyrone Tutt lVIemorial Fund By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Due to the tremondous loss of a fellow worker and friend, a memorial fund has been set up for Tyrone Tutt. Since school was not in progress when his death occmTed, not many students were aware of the reasons behind his absence. "Some thought he had just left Wilkes for a awhile. No one really knew the real story. The students wanted to do something in memory of this great man and a memorial fund seems to be the answer" stated Jane Kwiatkowski, head of the memorial fund. Since so many people felt they owed something in his memory, large canisters have been set up at eac h doo r of the cafeteria and at the ex it of the sub. Although it is unknown what wi ll be done with the money raised, at the present time, a trust fund has been opened in Tutt's name at a local Wilkes-Ba~rre bank. Anyone who has any ideas about the memorial fund can call Denny Drezek at ext. 4991. Homecoming festivities were underway. The parking lots were full of tailgaters who got an early start in the festivjtes around 9:30 am. Hot dogs and hamburgers burned on the grills, music blared in the background , and beer cans lay at the feet of all the partygoers. By the 2nd quarter of the gam e, people started to stumble in for the announcement of the 1994 Homecoming King and Queen. The final court. which consisted of six candidates included : Patti Gardner, Jennifer Gregory, Sabeth Ryan, Stefan Clausen, Jessie Gross, and Devon Licklider. With a short conclusion or the Homecoming res ti vities by Presi dent Breiseth, the King Jessie Gross and the Queen Sabeth Ryan were anno unced.

Other announcements deal with community related activities, non-profit events, support meetings and health screenings. Dr. Bradbury feels that all of the PSA' s aired on WCLH have, "some relationship to our target audience, and are there to promote a healthier audience." PSA' s are not the only informative pieces found on WCLH. T he station offers various educational and cultural programming, news, and information on campus activities. The educational programming is available five days a week for 30 minutes to an hour, and the station is always looking for more entertaining educational programs. Interested in volunteering? During the week of November l through 6, any Wilkes student interested is asked to participate in the "Into the Streets" (ITS) program. ITS is an event designed to introduce college students to community awareness with the hope of broadening their desire to help with the community needs. I The ITS planning group has developed several different projects centered around five issues: literacy, race relations, children and youth, domestic violence, campus security, and the environment. Each issue has a coordinator and eac h service activity within that issue has a club sponsor. The Offices of Volunteer Services and Campus Interfaith are asking that anyone from any club, not necessarily the head of the club, devel op a community service project within one of the areas. "Last year, many people participated and we had a really good turnout. A lot of different activities go on throughout that week and if everyone gets involved, it is a lot of fun ," said Amy Mazur, ITS coordinator. All volunteers participating will be given a free t-shirt at the beginning of the week so that students can wear the shi1ts during the service projects. Anyone interested can contact either Amy Mazur ext. 5094 or one of the following people depending on what issue the club sponsor would like to focus on: Kellie Klein (83 l-5056)for the Environ ment, Karen Kline (825-0667) for Campus Security, Dan Smith (822-1531) for Domestic Violenc e, A rad a Kunyosying (829-4870) for Children and Youth, LaTanya Urguhan (824-9541) for Race Relations, Maria Rebollo (8200299) for Literacy. ••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••••••• : During the 1994-95 academic year, the : Community Service Office is tallying the : number of sevice hours that sudent : groups and individuals contribute to the • : community.

Although Bailey has been stricken with the AIDS virus, he continues to live a positive lifestyle. Due to his respect for human life, Bailey wishes to deliver the message that, "AIDS kills and no one is immune to it." Bailey is the AIDS educator of Action AIDS, Philadelphia, a non-profit AIDS ser- vice organi zation, which provides direct care and emotional support to more than 2,000 HIV-positive people in the Philadelphia area. Housi ng , educational programs and corporate education are a few or the services provided by Action AIDS. Bailey will be assisted by Deborah Lowman, a volunteer for Action AIDS. The event, which is free of charge and open to the public, is being presented by the Wilkes University Student AIDS Awareness Committee. The committee will also be sponsoring AIDS Awareness week from November 24- December 1. Observe the City The Sordoni A11 Gallery at Wilkes University is presenting an exhibition, "The City Observed" from Sunday, October 2 through Sunday, November 6. The three artists featured will be Barry Roal Carlsen, Madison, Wis.; Douglas Safranek, Brooklyn, NY; and Stuart M. Shils, Philadelphia. These small scale paintings use a variety of styles and materials to explore different aspects of the urban environment. Although Carlsen, Safranek and Shils each create small-format paintings depicting contemporary urban landscapes, their sensibilities, formal concerns and content differ considerably. With dramatic contrasts of light and dark, glowing enameled colors, and a multiplicity .of detail, Carlsen depicts a poetic borderland where different world's intersect and loyalties di verge. Despite their small scale, Carlsen's paintings share some of the grandeur of classic 19th century American landscapes. Safranek paints from an intellectual point of view, bringing a Cartesian sense of order to his paintings. His choice of medium , egg tempera, expresses his relationship to his subject. The medium requires the artist to work slowly, so as to eliminate chance effects. Shils' works reflect the din, the noise and the dirt of thecity. Workingquicklywith oils on paper in a painterly, gestural style, his p/ein oir cityscapes capture the transitory and impermanent nature or the urban scene. He has said that his paintings are abo ut the "visual quality or the place." Concerned primarily with visual phenomena, he records what he see~ but refrains from making oven programmatic or political statements. The Sordoni Art Gallery is open daily from noon until 5 pm; Thursday evenings until 9 pm, and is closed on all major holidays. .. . Each year during the holiday season the John Heinz Institute offers free toy modifications to parents of children with disablities. This program has grown consistently over the past years. The increase in requests for toy adaptions has made it increasingly difficult to get the toys modified in time for Christmas. In order to help rectify this situation, the Heinz Institute is solic-iting volunteers to assist with the modification of these toys. Volunteers will be asked to attend a training seminar held at The J0hn Heinz Institute on Thursday, November 3, at 7 rm. At the seminar the volunteers will learn the basic skills necessary to adapt toys for children with disabilities. Volunteers will also be asked to specify times and dates that they are available to assist in the actual toy modifications. Any questions about the program, contact Donna Majikes at 826-3700 by Monday, October 31. The Student AIDS Awareness Committee or Wilkes University will sponsor the Fall 1994 Wilkes Walk for AIDS Awareness on Sunday , October 16 at I pm. Registration is scheduled for noon in the Stark Learning Center Lobby, 150-180 South River Street where the walk will begin. Teams of walkers (minimum of five walkers) will then proceed along South Franklin Street to Public Square, to North Street, to River Street and back to the Stark Lobby, where light refreshments will be served. Individual walkers are also welcome to participate. Walkers are asked to get as many sponsors as possible and collect the donations prior to the walk. The donations can be turned into Wilkes University AIDS Awareness Committee during registration on the day of the event. Info1mation and registration forms for anyone interested in becoming a pan or the Wilkes Walk for AIDS Awareness can be picked up in room 366 of the Stark Leaming Center or by calling 831-4753 or 1-800-WILKES U,,ext. 4753 .

Beginning with registration at 12:30, the rally began with motivational speakers and some music to follow. Sponsored by the Church World Service, there were almost 2,000CROPWalks last year, involving some 3.3 mil- lion people as participants and sponsors. The CROP Walk is an international program that is working to eliminate hunger. Through the walk , money is raised to help both the local and world community. Everyone who participates is asked to find a number of sponsors who will donate money to them for walking a certain distance. Wilkes University's Community Service coordinator, Amy Mazur said that a number of volunteers helped Photo by Eric Mo1inello out during the CROP Walk event. " Although they didn't necessarily participate in the walk itself, they helped organize the registration and were available whenever one of the chairpersons needed them," said Mazur. All proceeds will benefit those less fortunate in the world, by providing them with relief supplies, refugee assistance, preventive health care, improvements in food production, and the development of water resources to name a few. Painting for a purpose Police Blotter- From le ft : Debbie Zehner. Julie Werkhei ser. Sabeth Ryan . Bob lVlazzeo. Marlene Mala sky . Bill Smith. Phil Basha By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Bob Mazzeo, a local artist from Wilkes-Barre, recently presented a painting to the Wilkes University Student AIDS Awareness Committee to remind everyone -about the risk of AIDS . Photo cow-tesy of University Relations The oil painting, which depicts people of all ages, is part of a collection Mazzeo created on HIV. Mazzeo feels this particular painting shows the realization that anyone can become infected with the disease. "If the painting has a positive impayt on one per.son who looks at it, then it will have served its primary purpose," states Mazzeo. Debbie Zehner, faculty advisor to the Student AIDS Awareness Committee and a biology professor at Wilkes, plans to display the painting in a showcase in the Stark Learning Center, during AIDS Awareness Week, November 29 through December 1. The week includes numerous events which will focus on AIDS in today 's society. A few events will be: a panel discussion about AIDS education with local experts, and a keynote address from a 10-year-old girl who was infected with HIV at birth. The committee hopes that everyone will try to participate in this week's events. AIDS is effecting everyone and awareness is the only answer.

It almost seems a contradiction in terms. Alcohol awareness and college students ? You go figure . But after thinking abo ut it for a while, it does n't seem like such a bad idea after all. National Collegiate Alco hol Awareness Week wants us to learn the e ffec ts of drinking and how to do so res ponsibly. The pro gram directors do not want us to give up dri nking but to reali ze the way drinking impairs our th oughts, actions and reactions. One of the more relevant aspects of alcohol awareness is drinking and driving. You may have noticed last week on page three of ZEIJc j°!acilcon a poem written by R. Taylor, a woman who lost not only her leg, but also loved ones. Yet, her loss was self-inflicted, a loss which was completely avoidable. That is the key to National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week; making us aware of the harm we can do to ourselves and to others. Speaking of being aware of harm we can do to others while intoxicated, why doesn ' t this university have a Students Against Drunk Driving (S.A.D.D.)? With all of the student groups on campus, one would think that Wilkes would have a S.A.D.D. chapter, especially beca use of all of the commuter students. Although National Collegiate Alcohol Awareness Week lasts only one week, alcohol awareness should not. So remember, when you are out with your friends, "party smart." w WIU<ES UNMRSITY ~~t!-) ~y Kirby Hall 1Letters to tbe Qf:bitor You might notice this space is empty. Pretty sad , don't you think?

Fan clubs, parades, and building comemorations would be my reward fo r such a fine column. Unfortunately, these columns tend to be as well thought out as our lovely school' s bureaucratic structure: late, confusing and with gramatical quirks and various misspelled and misplaced words. And, my biggest disappointent, my ideas presented wi thin this column have been, let' s say, less th an inspiring. And as another week passes , and I have absolutely no idea what to w1ite for this week 's column (as if you couldn ' t te ll) I would like to give you a brief ove rview (a.k.a. a chees1 list thi nly disguis-ed as hum or) to possible topics for this colum n in the future: • I will not write about this university nor its student population. I do not like any of you. • I could write more about my home town. However, one needs more to write about than cow-tipping and naked men in sheep pastures. • Every third column will be about baseball. Accept it. • Any chance to skewer the Repu blican party will be fully utilized. It brightens up my spirits. • I will not write about, well, him. You know, big guy, ran fas t, white Bronco, etc .. . No joke here, I j us t could care less about the case. •Reader suggestions are always welcome. Of course, I probably would never receive them. Or, for that matter, read them. And, even if I did read them, I'd just have to make fun of them in the follow ing week's column. But please, feel free to write. Anyway, that's my column for this week. I don ' t have a snappy closing for this week, then again, I didn't have an idea either. Just accept it. Say it with me now: one more week until break. If yo u want to call one day a break, that is. The news front has been picking up this past week, as a number of old issues return to haunt us. Or annoy us. For instance : Issue 1: Back to Iraq. There are nume rous ways to interpret what has happened concerning Saddam Husse in this past week. From the standpoint of the United States, the issue is a little confusing . Was n' t th at President Clinton on the news just a short time ag o remarkin g how we are not the world 's policeman ? lsn ' t Clinton a memberof the party th at cried "No blood for oil" during Desert Storm I? T hen why is the United States getti ng involved ? Clinton said in his tele vised address the other night that, "We will not allow Saddam Hussein to defy the will of the Uni ted States and the intern ational community. " How is he de fying the will of the U.S.? Once again, it seems that Clinton is caught in a statement he made before he thought of the repercussions. Not a shot has been fi red and we' re in Kuwait, but bloodshed elsewhere still does not merit our involvement. Stay tuned; if Hussein makes a move, this will get very interesting. Issue 2: Two wrongs don ' t make a Religious Right. Senatorial candidate Oliver North, while speaking at a forum in Virginia, said that the U.S. doesn't have the forces to defeat Iraq. O.K., Ollie. Joseph Rae ' s column last week is required reading on the North candidacy. When the " throw the bu ms out" mentality is so intense that a felon might be elected, there' s a problem. Change is one thing; dum bing down is another. Issue 3: C ongratul ations Patty Puerlin g. I guess good thin gs do happen to good people. That' s all fo r now. We' ll chat again next week.

The Wilkes offe nse didn ' t start clicking until their third possession of the first half. The Colonels received a punt on the Eagles' 44 yard line to start their drive. The scoring drive consisted or on ly four plays, as freshman tailback Elijah Powe ll dashed in to the endzone from l I yards out. Once again , the defense came up big, with two forced fumbles and the secondary intercepted five passes. Greg Yankow had three picks for 44 yards, while Ben Mc Keown had two, one of which was returned for a 42 yard touchdown, giving the Colonels a 14-0 lead at the half. The second half started off on the right foot for Wilkes as defensive end Jake Cole recovered a fumble on the Wilkes 16 yard line.

N. Y.. home of the Buffalo BiUs. Buffalo, New York. What usually comes to mind is cold and snowy winters and tasty chicken wings. However, the past few years the usual image of this western New York community has been diluted by four consecutive Super Bowl losses by their beloved Bills. This past weekend, 1 made the journey through the now colorful hills of New York to attend the Bills/Dolphins game. I now know from experience, that Bills fans are the most dedicated fans in professional sports. They've been through hell the past four January 's and they still stick with their team . Throughout the middle class suburbs of Hamburoc • East Aurora and Orchard Park, homes and businesses are blanketed with Bills paraphernalia. Bills fans have led the league in attendance the past six consecutive seasons (1989-93) and they hold the NFL single season home attendance record of 653,899 set in 1991. On Sunday, I awoke at 6:45 am expecting a below freezing start. To my surprise the wake-up weather was very comfortable. But two-hours later, as my feet hit the pavement in the parking lot at Rich Sta- Photo by Steve Roth dium, so did a gusty rain storm blowing off Lake Erie. A little rain and wind didn't disturb these fans, as the drinks were flowing and the grills were cooking consistently throughout the morning. Hell, these fans have tolerated snowstorms, howling winds and below-zero temperatures to root their team on. Ten minutes before kick-off, I made my way to my seat, five rows from the top of windy Rich Stadium, just as the 12th man was warming up. During Miami's first oftensive series, the 79,000 Bills fans rocked Rich Stadium. A deafening crack of thunder would not have been heard. When Miami linebacker Bryan Cox (who stirred controversy last season when he gave a two-middle finger salute to the Bills faithfuls) missed a tackle on a Thmman Thomas touchdown run, all that my ears absorbed was sarcastic c1ies of " Bryan, Bryan !" An interesting observation occurred when a highlight of O.J. Simpson rushing for 250 yards during his 2,003 yard season of 1973, was displayed on a $5.7 million Sony Jumbo Tron videoboard. Following a plethora of "boa's", the stadium erupted into chants of "innocent, innocent!" After the Bills 21-11 win over their most hated rival, the Dolphins, it was evident Bills fans were confident the Drive for Five • , \. b ·!- { J m 95 was still alive (the win ), : 1 ,; 1 1 • J 1, I moved the Bills into a first place tie with the Dolphins) . 'The Bills will definitely make the Super Bowl again", said 17-year-old Donald Thiry, a longtime Bills fan of Hamburg. However, Karen Berner, a 42-year-old mother of four wasn ' t so certain. "I think we need a year off to recuperate, and it may be time to find anew quarterback," said Bemer. Buffalo is an underdog 's city. It isn ' t as economically stable and majestic as New York City or Los Angeles. Until the Bills recent success, their sports teams have been mediocre for quite sometime. Just imagine if the B_ills won four-straight Super Bowl s. They' ct easily be considered the best NFL team ever and the city would be known as a "major metropolis" instead of the mistake by the lake. Bills fans reek loyalty and work just as hard as the players do on gameday, giving opposing quarterbacks pounding headaches. They ' re amajorreason why the AFC road to the Super Bowl has eone throueh Buffalo three out of the last four years. The fans are the fuel that keeps the Bills Super Bowl train rolling, and the train hasn 't run out of fuel yet.

Arter falling 1-0 to Marywood last Thursday, Wilkes regrouped to upend a tough Drew squad led by Cara Williams, the MAC' s leading point scorer. Senior midfielder Steph Hasti ngs and sophomore defender Noell Brooks contained Williams and stayed in her face the entire game. But, Williams did manage to score one goal late in the game off a penalty comer. Following a scorless tie at halftime, junior forward Kirn Kaskel scored a breakaway goal ten-minutes into the second half. Nine-minutes later, fellow junior forward Sue Richardson scored what eventually became the game winning goal. After losing a 30 point scorer in Toni Farinella to graduation , the Lady Colonels offense had a big vacancy to be filled this season. Richardson has stepped up her play considerably from last season to fill the vacancy. In 20 games last season , Richardson had one assist resu lting in one point. So far this season in 14 games she has nine goals, one assist, 19 points and a 1.35 ppg average , good for 8th in the MAC. Kaskel is fifth in the division with 10 goals, three assists, 23 points and a 1.64 ppg average . Goalie Tracy Engle is second in the MAC in goalkeeping with a 0. 78 goals against average.

An inspiration for all By AMY PLUTINO Staff Writer Ten years ag o, Mic helle Smithdas e nroll e d m the master' s program at Columbia University's Teachers College at the age of 36. Today she is an instructor at the Helen Ke ller National Cente r for deaf-blind youth and adults in Sands Point, New York. What makes her story remarkable is that Michelle is herself a deaf-blind woman. Michelle was born hard of hearing and by the age of 16 she was to tally deaf. She l os t her sig ht 1n a snowmobiling acc ident when she was 21. In 1972, she was enrolled at the Helen Keller Center. Michelle later became an assistant teacher at the center, but needed a maste r's degree to become a full-fl edged instructor. She tried twice and failed, mostly because she lacked a dedicated interpreter. Then she met Linda Stillm an, wh o agreed to help with vari ous aspects of her studies and to act as a go-be twee n with Miche lle's professo rs. Ultimate ly, the attainment of her goal cons umed about 35 hours a week over five years. Michelle's dedication and tenaci ty in the face of tremendous odds should serve as an inspi ration to all of us.

Dr. Heaman 's letter strikes me as a rationalization, at best- I'm reminded of the Pacification Program, when it was said that we needed to destroy a country in order to save it. Let's be clear. The facu lty did, after years of quarreling with members of the Administration, the Admissions Office, and each other, vote to eliminate the language requirement. We were told that students will not come to Wilkes if they are required to stud y a fore ign language. If this is trne, I fai l to see how we can expect to "enjoy the resurgence at Wilkes that they are experiencing at other colI 0 ,, ' ' II' _ ~ Why was this lot carved out of the much bigger visitor's lot already there? Why has the library been given authority to issue temporary parking passes? I've been told that the library director is issuing temporary parking passes ro library staff who are running ernnds to pick up office supplies. I cannot believe that this is the intent of the "visitor" lot. Name witheld upon request that word-of-m outh advertising from a few dedicated students will inspire wild enth usiasm among th ose who come to Wilkes to avoid language stud y. My predicti on would be that, with languages not being required, the level of competency will actuall y decline. Instructors will be forced to lower expectations in order to maintain any interest and enrollment in their classes. I believe th at the elimination of at least some kind of fore ign language requirement cheapens our instructional program and the Wilkes degree .

But a picture on the fron t or the Metro Sec tion or this past Monday 's N en· York Times narrowed the scope of issues covered to just one. The afo rementioned photo has the Revs. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton scrubbing the sidewalk in fron t of the 30th Preci nct in Harlem. The reason for this gesture is a symbolic cleansing of the 30th, which has been hit by the largest police scandal in the 146-year history of the NYPD. The Times writes that since the middle 1980s, the station house has "decayed into a den of drug dealing , extortion, and pe1j ury." You could have guessed it was something heinous ; when Al Sharpton is cleaning your walk, you have to be dirty. How many of us are surprised, however? Police corrupti on has become so commonplace that it is no longer shocking . The policeman who was our fri end in kindergarten is now our blood enemy in college. The long arm of the law is now referred to as bacon or pigs. Credit the social revolution of the 1960s wi th another victim: during the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago, we saw how brutal and unfair police can be. That perception has yet to change. For their part, the police haven' t done anything to improve this percepti on. This New York scandal is nothing compared to the treats the Los Angeles Police Department gives us, fro m abusing motorists to bungling a double homicide in vestigation. Locally, a off-duty Wilkes-Barre policeman was aITes ted fo r DUI. This week's quotation is comtesy of Mayor Richard Daley of Chicago, circa 1968: "Gentleman, let's get the thing straight, once and fo r all. It's not the job of the police to create disorder; it's the job of the police to maintain diso rder." And what a fine job they' re doing. What, then, is our resolution? As usual, it's somewhere in the middle. Po lice * * * * * Finally, I would like to congratulate \[lJc ~ ca con un instituting a security log need to clean up their reputation, and the public needs to once again trust our frie nd the policeman. If the O.J. tlial is any indic ation, however, this is goin g to get much of illegal activities in and around the campus. While I was attending Bucknell, the school newspaper had a security log, worse before it gets any better. If you don' t believe it, just rewind the O.J. tri al to the point where Johnny Cochran is asking the LAPD detective, "Why were yo u searc hing and it was helpful to many students to see the activities that occured. the woodpile behind O.J.'s house?" Like the NYPD scandal, the answer wo n' t I hope that the Wilkes student population find s it as useful. surprise you. That's all for now. Have a Happy Homecoming, and we' 11 chat again next week. A good friend of mine, who is cmTently in law school at the Un iversity of Virginia, wrote me the other day, commentin g on the relief he fe lt that, as a Pennsylvania resident, he wouldn ' t have to vote in the Virginia Senate race this year. I find this hard to believe. How any red-blooded, nag-waving, motherloving American wo uldn ' t want to vote for Oliver North, is baffling. Singlehandedly, he violated Congressional mandates, lied to both Congress and the American people, squirmed his way out of a conviction, and expects us to install him in one of our highest offices. Yes folks, the American Dream come true. If Oliver North is elected to the Senate, it will be the single biggest fail ure of the American politician system, bigger than Joe McCarthy, Ric hard Nixon, or any other blight our system has produced. Nolth represents the ultimate a1rngance of the political system, a constituency that has no grasp of the real problems of America, and that constituency is the Radical Right. The Christian Right, as they prefer to be called, appeals to the darkest elements still remaining in our system, preaching of God, family values, and free enterprise, while subliminally hoping for that white, ethno-centric , smalltown bigotry and homophobia that many people secretly hope for. I do personally hope that Oliver North loses, obviously, but that this years Senate race becomes forum on the Radical Right. And as the influence the Radical Right has on the Republican Party becomes known, I wouldn' t place any bets agai nst a second Clinton term. 13oires from tbe past .

There will also be a chance for all who donate blood to win $20 gift certificate to Blum Brothers and Strouds, brunch for two at Genetti ' s "Legends" Restaurant, a desk clock from the Auto Club / AAA, 2 pairs of tickets to a movie at the Kirby Center and a $450 mountain bike from Sicklers Bike Shop.

The grand prize, the mountain bike will be give n away May 2 and each student has up to six chances to win. Students get a chance to win each time they donate blood or bring a first time donor. Why all the give-aways and prizes? Because Wilkes blood drives have been steadily declining over the past six years.

Diane O'Brien, Coordinator of Health Services, believes participation has slipped due to the amount of time required for a student to give blood . O ' Brien has worked out a sc hedule with the Red Cross to ensure that the donation process only takes an hour to an hour and a half. With time requirement cut back, more students should be able to fit donating into their schedules. Also making it easier to donate blood is the lower weight recp1irement from I I 0 to 105 pounds.

Should I just walk away from the problem and just let it it rest or should I confront her on it? We have been friends for quite a few yeai·s now and have always had a relationship. Unsure of what to do Be careful how you use your powers. Battle of wills may prove to be very unprofitable. Dear Unsure, Dear Kira, Let's start with this.

Minutes later, freshman midfielder Carrie Chipego put the Lad y Colonels up 2-0 with her rirst collegiate goal. On Tue s day, se nior midfielder Steph Hastings got the Lady Colonels rolling with a goal with 27:44 remaining in the first half. After a continuous offensive attack, Hastings found an opening at the le ft side of cage to knock in her first goal of the season. Hastings goal proved to be the only goal of the first hair, but more would come. Two-minutes into the second half, junior forward Sue Richardson scored her seventh goal, when she stole a rebound from the goalie and slammed it in the goal. Richardson would score once again, eight-minutes later, off a beautiful free hit from Hastings outside of the scoring cirlce, that Richardson one-timed into the goal. Wilkes improves to 84overall and 3-0 in the MAC. The Lady Colonels are awa y at Marywood this afternoon at 4 pm. with Steve Roth The Eagles flying high, but for how long? On Sunday, the Pmladelphia Eagles proved they are serious contenders in the NFC, defeating a predicted Super Bowl team in the San Francisco 49ers, 40-8, in their worst loss ever at Candlestick Park. The Eagles have clawed the 'Niners continuously in the 1990' s. In 1992, the 'Niners won a squeaker (2014) over the Eagles. With the Eagles driving the field late in the game, they went for it all on a key fourth down. The Eagles looked as if they converted a first down, but the officials thought otherwise and they gave them a poor spot for measurement. First and ten for the 'Niners. Last season, a battered Eagles team deteated the ' Niners on a Monday night in overtime 37-34, in one of the seasons most exciting games. It was evident on Sunday, the Eagles meant business on their first offensive drive of the game. The 10-play 75 yd. scoring drive calmed the Candlestick Park crowd quickly, as Randall Cunningham consistently connected with wide receiver Calvin Williams, and rookie running back Charlie Garner scurried through the ' Niners supposedly improved defense for a I-yard TD run. On the 'Niners ensuing drive, Eric Allen picked off Steve Young on their first play from scrimmage in 'Niners territory. One play later, Gamer weaved his way through huge holes formed by the Eagles dominant offensive line for a 28-yard TD. Very early in the second quarter, defensive end William Fuller sacked Young in the endzone for a safety. Eagles 16 - 49ers 0. The Eagles started quick, taking the 'Niners out of the game midway through the second quarter with 23-0 lead . The Eagles won every aspect of the game. Oftensively, defensively, special teams and most importantly the line of scrimmage. On the defensive side, the Eagles defensive lineman and linebackers were in Young's face all day. The oftensive line gave Cunningham so much time to throw it was ridiculous. Cunningham, who was 20-29 for 246 yds with 2 TD's, was exquisite, especially on a scrambling 28-yard TD pass to a double covered Victor Bailey in the back of the endzone. The big win definitely gives the Eagles (3-1) respect and a tie with Dallas and New York in the NFC East, but Eagle fans are not thinking Super Bowl yet. . The past two seasons, the Eagles have started 4-0 and have plummeted after week five . In 1992, after beating Dallas 31-7 in a hyped Monday Night Matchup, the Eagles lost five of their next eight and luckily won their four remaining games to reach the playoffs. Last season, the Eagles won a contest over the Jets 35-30, but also had two losses in the game, when Cunningham and wide receiver Fred Barnett were seriously injured and out for the season. The Eagles lost eight of their next nine and again finished strong with three respectable wins that almost nudged them into the playoffs. The next tew weeks are going to be critical for the Eagles. If they can stay healthy and play as they are capable of the entire season, the Eagles could be legit contenders in late December.

By KALEN CHURCHER Sraff Wrirer In 1991 , a group of 20 Japanese students and faculty anived at Wilkes in order to study the educational system. This began a correspondence between Tamagawa University and Wilkes University, with the Japanese delegation returning twice in the interim. Apparently, the next logical step in the relationship was for Wilkes to send its own delegation to Tamagawa, located in Machida, Japan. This group , led by Dr. Diane Polachek, an associate protessor of education, not only studied the Japanese university, but also public and private schools of all grade levels. An observation made by the Wilkes team, which also ineluded graduate students, was the Japanese excellence in comp u ta ti on al mathematics . Polachek noted, however, that this does not ~urpass American skil I at critical and creative thinking and problem solving. The Wilkes delegation also found that the Japanese are open- ing up to avenues of change, a stark contrast to their traditional past. Crossing elemen ts of the two cultures may provide universal benefit. "We need to have a broad perspective of what's happening in the world today," said Dr. Polachek. The visit of the Wilkes delegation lasted a total of ten days and will hopefully be followed by a second trip in May 1995. Tamagawa plans to send its own follow-up group back to Wilkes in March.

Ahh! Shoot it, Shoot it! ! !" Have you ever hea1·d yourself screaming these words to your roommate and wonder where the bugs are coming from ? There have been so many sightings of different kinds of bugs in Wilkes University's residence halls, that people should be charged to view them. You have to admit they are pretty amazing. If you haven ' t seen them, you're sure in for the surprise of your life . Many students have complained about bugs in their dorm rooms. "While staying in Pickering in the summer, I came across not only mice, but cockroaches, spide rs, and even big flying things," said a summer resident student. "They don 't call it 'The Zoo' for nothing." Another Pickering resident said, "I didn't find any bugs , but I did find a couple of dead rats near the outside of my window. I didn't even try to touch them, I just left them there." Not only have larger d01ms had bug problems, but so have some of the smaller dorms on campus. "It was the hairiest bug I have ever seen," reported Jessica Wood, a freshman resident of Ross Hall. "It looked like a cross between a daddy-long-legger and a caterpillar all in one." "What we have to do is keep the lounge area clean," said a resident of Slocum. "We don ' t want to attract more of them, so we're not leaving anymore pizza boxes lying around." Further down the street, in Sullivan Hall, there was a report of a colony of fleas that decided to dorm there for free. Since a pattern seemed to be arising, a few students felt they deserved an answer to the problem concernin g the bugs. Doug Lane, South Area Coordinator of Residence Life said, "We were notified about the flea problem in Sullivan and had an exterminator eliminate the bugs," said Doug. "So far, Sullivan is the only house that we were told had any kind of pest problem." Lane alsostated that an exte1minator visits the campus dorms on the first week of every month or soo ner ifthere are any unwanted guests. Hopefully the bug problem that is taking over Wilkes campus will soon be solved. Until then, get used to it becuase they seem to be getiig very comfortable. Fun and Flirty UPBEAT.

Act 1 is causing a commotion Police Blotter By COLLEEN HENNON -SraflWrirer Recently , the WilkesBarre area has been more or less, a home away from home for many juveniles. While it may be good for these kids, neighbors residing near the homes see it differently.

Staff Writer AIDS awareness is an issue relevant to all ages. "It can't happen to me," could be a dangerous rationalization for a significant number of people in the thirty-something and above age groups. A study at the University of California at San Francisco warns that people in these age groups are less likely to use condoms or to get tested for HIV than a similar group in their twenties. This nonchalant attitude could be dangerous for those at risk of contracting this dead! y virus. Those at risk include individuals who received a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1984, individuals who have been I.V . drug users, one who is a hemophiliac , and those who have had multiple sex partners. Health care providers should raise the issue of sex and sexual health with patients of all ages. Without an adequate sexual history, early symptoms of AIDS can easily be mis-diagnosed as other common illnesses.

By AMY PLUTINO Srqff Writer For many students returning to sc hool full-time , stress is a common complaint. Many students still unsure of their life 's direction, feel pressured by family and friends to "get it together". Many find it difficull to balance studies, relationships, and families. According to researchers at the University of Michigan, some stress can have positive effects on people. Their findings concluded that those who deal with stress as a positive challenge, rather than an anxiety-producing situation, achieve more positive results to the task at hand. or course, if they are stressed to the point or exhaustion, they will need to prioritize and cut hack in some areas . Organization and effective time managemenL can reduce stress and repetition. A "Lo do" list referred to throughout the day can help students stay focused and productive. Don't try to "cram" in more things than can realistically be accomplished in a given time period. Start off the day with exercise. This can be as moderate as a deep breathing session. Eat breakfast to avoid that midmorning crash that sends students running for more nervejangling coffee. Take a walk at lunchtime. This will release frustration and give the student a shot or energy. or cnurse even the most carefully planned agenda doesn·L take imo account that endless parade of "dail y disasters". Robert M. Sapolsky, Ph.D., professor of neurosciences at Stanford University says, "you can keep the small stuff from getting to you by realizing it's psychological." He suggests students can handle anything if they have access to fourthings: an outlet, the facts, control and "a shoulder to·cry on". One last Lip: lighten up. Humor can be a great tool for getting over the "rough spots".

Looking at the Police Blotter the past couple of weeks doesn ' t give a person much hope for the number of crimes decreasing. With a rape occmTing two weeks ago and burglaries and assaults piling µp, it makes you wonder what Wilkes is doing about it. Campus security has been beefed up by the addition qf another guard , but personal experience lends ZJrlJc ~cilron staff to wonder if security shouldn 't have added two or three more guards. Parking in Park-N-Lock South doesn't make you feel especially secure at night, but neither does parking in the Dennison lot on the far south end of the campus. What happened to the lighted walkways around the campus that were supposed to be part of the construction? The walkway between Park-N-Lock South and Weckesser is in the works , but what about more lights in general around campus? Although Wilkes is not located in downtown Philly like Temple University, maybe Wilkes should have personal safety demonstrations like Temple does. A course is being offered to women on self-defense, but the course costs $36 for Wilkes students, faculty, staff and their family members. Do most students have the money to spend on a course like that? Most are scraping out their piggy banks to pay for school. If a course was offered at Wilkes, free to students, would students attend? I think so. If you were offered a free self defense course, would you go? Write in and let us know, we'll let the administration know too . \[I.Jc ~cilron welcomes Letters to the Editor but requests that they be 500 words or less. All letters must be signed.

The Roving Reporter asks students what they " think about the termination of the Foreign Language Department." I want to assure students that foreign languages are not being eliminated at Wilkes. We hope to build a firstrate Foreig n Language Department here, one that will be at the heart of our solid liberal arts offerings and will indeed prepare students to meet the needs of our increasingly globally interdependent society. We need to reorganize in the short te1m in order to accomplish this, however. As the result of a vote by the faculty, foreign languages were eliminated from the core cun-iculum as a skill requirement this past year. Since students were no longer required to take a foreign language, enrollments declined. Our hope is this decline is temporary. Foreign language classes are now populated by students who genuinely want to learn a foreign language and not by those who are forced to take a foreign Ianguage. As a result of having students in class who want to be there, we expect that students will be more enthusiastic about their courses and that the word will spread about the value of studying a language and a culture other than our own, and that as this discovery is shared by other students, foreign languages will enjoy the resurgence at Wilkes that they are experiencing at colleges and universities across the nati on. I am delighted that students are concerned about the fate of foreign language at Wilkes. The best way to ensure their vitality is to enroll in a course. I assure that you will discover a high quality faculty, now and in the future. ,Robert J.

I wasn ' t taken back. I'd heard all the cracks before . Bigfoot, saskwatch, shag , etc .. . Yep, the Good Lord sure pulled a good one on me when he gave me size 15 feet. (He also gave me webbed toes as well, but I'll explain that at the trial. If just one more person quacl.s at me ... ) And after the age of fourteen, when my feet broke through that magical size 13 banier, finding shoes that I like and fit me has been as easy as getting health care legislation through the Congress. "Hello, Shoe Store, this is Al, how may I help you?" "Hi, do you have any size 15, low top sneakers?" "No, but my brother owns a boat shop. He might be able to strap two rowboats to your feet." He laughs as I flip through the phone book trying to find Al's home address. For those of you that have never tried, the largest shoe that you can buy in most stores is size 13. And through begging , pleading, congressional lobbying, and intense praying on my behalf, most stores still only cany size 13. On the other hand, some stores do Cai.Ty lai·ger sizes, but they come with names like Air Jordan, Shag something-or-other and others that are supposed to make you jump 20 feet high and cost slightly more than our tuition. "Hi, do you have any size 15 sneakers?" "Sure, please sit down and fill out this mortgage application, sir." and each fall, without failure, I begin the month-long process to procure new foot appai·el, only because duct tape and wire only hold soles together for so long. And this fall will be no different. So, the next time you're in a shoe store, please think of poor old Joe. And also think of those other poor souls wandering the streets, searching, enduring years of public humiliation and frustration just to find those ever elusive loafers.

Issue 1: Colorado 27, Michigan 26. One professor referred to it as a "defining moment" for him. One Notre Dame fan asked, "How does it feel?" Let me answer that for you . Without question, from this sports fan 's perspective , it was the most depressing loss ever suffered. I thought being a Ranger fan was tough. With a victory, Michigan could possibly have been on the road to their first national championship since 1948. I can hear the snickering of Penn State fans everywhere.

By RYAN ALSTON Staff Writer Before the start of their match on Monday, the Lady Colonels volleyball team broke to the cry of "intensity". That is exact! y what the Lady Colonels played with, defeating the Marywood College Pacers in four sets. After a series of net serves by Marywood to start the first match, Wilkes took control and built a 12-2 lead. Unexpectedly, the Pacers battled back, scoring ten consecutive points, and taking the lead. After an exchange of a few points, Marywoodfinally gained the two-point advantage needed to win the set 1715. Th e Lady Colone ls Photo byKaren Kline jumped out to an early lead in the second set also. Once again, Marywood put together a comeback, but this time they fell short, and Wilkes won the set 15-9. The third set was similar in action to the first, as the Lady Colonels took a 10-5 lead and then won the set 15-9. Wilkes dominated the final set. The entire team gave their best effort, digging and spiking, to put the Pacers away with a 15-7 victory. Leading the Wilkes attack was Andrea Kilmer with six aces, Wendy O'Connor with 16 kills and Carrie Wilkes with 10 digs. Next up for the Lady Colonels will be an away match against King 's on Tuesday.

Although the packages made the freshmen feel more at home on campus, there was a very important reason underlying the selling of the care packages. The committee raised approximately $1,000 to help cover the cost of bringing AIDS Awarness Week to Wilkes. The committee sent letters to the parents of the freshmen, offeri ng to send in exchange for a s mall fee, a basket full of college essentials. The baskets contained soda, juices, snack foods , fruits, pens, a Wilkes keychain and other small items including toothbrushes and coffee mugs. Kristie Hallam, an AIDS Awarness Committee Member said, "We feel the care packages went over real well. The parents response was great. The underlying cause was not just to make the freshamen fell welcome ut to help further the education of AIDS Awarness ." AIDS Awareness Week is November 28 to December "' 2. The keynote speaker for this year will be Hydeia Broadbent, a ten-year-old girl from Las Vegas, Nevada, who was born with the HIV virus that causes AIDS. She will be speaking on Tuesday, November 29, at 7 pm in the Wilkes University Center for the Performing Arts. Other events include lee- ture discussions , S .T.A.R.

By STEPHANIE KRAMER Staff Writer Each summer, at the begmning of August, the contents of a thin envelope are nervously awaited, anticipated, and contemplated by college students everywhere. Inside, they find a single sheet of paper that marks their fate for the next three months. We know this better as the tuition bill. In these times of rapidly rising college costs, both at public and p1ivate institutions, tuition increases unfortunately come to be accepted every year. However, many public universities are finding their halls more crowded every year, as private educations simply become unaffordable for many working and even middle class families . In 1987-88, Wilkes College had the highest tuition and fee rate of the five local colleges and universities: King's, Marywood, Misercordia, and the U niversity of Scranton. Today, Wilkes is over $850 cheaper to attend than Scranton, and within $200 of the cost of attending any of the other three institutions. Nonetheless, let's face it. This place is not "cheap", even though it is cheaper than most private colleges. It is often difficult for students to realize how expensive it is to actually operate a university; thus mandating such an increase. Student's tuition pays 75% of the operating budget. Dr. J. Michael Lennon, Vice President of Academic Affairs said, "faculty salaries constitute a large percentage of the bill. This year there are 13 8 faculty members at Wilkes, only slightly more than last year. Return faculty were given a modest raise and better benefits this year than previously. Building upkeep, both of classroom buildings and d01ms, is also a major expense. Remember that many build11 ings on campus arc more than 100 years old. Many of the older homes and building experienced problems with their roofs and heating systems, due to the hard winter, including Capin Hall, which is cuITently undergoing renovation. Parking improvements have also been expensive. With the university renting spaces in Park - N ·· Lock South, more security guards had to be added to the staff. Eventually, a walkway to the Park · N ~ Lock will be created with lights and surveillance cameras for added security. A percentage of our tuition is also funding the development of new university projects. One or these is a fiberoptic cable system which will allow telephone access, cable TV, and computer hookup to all do1ms on campus, except McClintoc k and BaITe. New computer labs will also be installed in the new classroom building . In athletics, the pressbox at Ralston Field is being upgraded and additional sports coaches and interns are being hired. Dr. Lennon was very optimistic about the new improvements in store for Wilkes. Despite the increases in tuition, he reported that Wilkes still intends to remain a moderately priced school with maximum potential. �~be ,Seacon · t)age 2 ~eptember 22, 1994 To smoke or S tudent Student Raped ' teac h.1ng not to smoke begins By REGINA F RA PPOL LI News Editor On Monday, September 12 at approximately 10:30 pm, a female student reported thatshe was raped while returni ng to her dorm room after night class. The assailant is repo11ed as a 30-40 year old white male. The assault occurred behind the Dorothy Dickson D arte building in the area adjacent to Temple Israel.

If a student calls for an escort, one of the security guards will accompany the student from one on-campus location to another. A new edition to Wilkes secu1ity is the new roving secu1ity g~rd, who will be walking a beat between Weckesser, Park -N-Lock South and South Street as of last night.

To take advantage or this service all the student needs to do is call the above number, give their current location, ask for an escort, and state their desired destination. Students are strongly urged to take advantage of the services Wilkes University has for their students. Gerald Cookus, Chief of Secmity, has two daughters attending Wilkes Unive rsity whom he gives the same advice as to other students on campus. "Use the Escort Service. Be very careful, stay in groups and avoid any possible indication of trouble rather than walk intc it." Remember - 4999 for Campus Escort Service. I ' By KALEN CHURCHER Staff Writer The debate between smokers and non-smokers is an old issue, but ce11ainly not a dead issue. No n-sm okers express their right to breathe clean air while smokers defend their right to pursue happiness. To accommodate both sides of the de bate, Wilkes University is doing its part by designating a specific area of Stark Learn ing Cen ter's lobby forthe smokers. According to Vice Preside nt Paul O'Hop, a portion of Stark will be enclosed with glass walls so that smokers will be able to relax with their cigarettes while not infringing on the rights of others. A venting system will also be installed to circulate the air. Originally, the lobby of Stark was to be used by commuters so that they would have a place to relax between classes. However, the lobby is now used by anyone who wishes to get together with friends . Many of these students are smokers and those who do not like that "smokey smell" must fi nd another place to go. While the recommendation was to make Wilkes a smokefree campus, many smokers protested the idea, and the University has decided on what Mr. O'Hop considers a, "compromised solution" . Currently, engineers are looking into a venting system and walls have already been ordered . Ir all goes as planned. the smoking section will he in full operation by late October.

The student teaching program runs from September 12 through December 16. During that time the students will earn 15 credits plus valuable fulltime teaching experience. The school districts where the student teachers will work include: Wilkes-Ba1Te Area, Tunkhannock, Wyoming Area, Wyoming Valley West, Hanover Area, Dallas, Northwest Area, Pittston. Old Forge. Riverside, and Mid-Valley. According to Professor Edwin Johnson, the program· s director, after student teachers successfully complete their semester of teaching in secondary education, elementary education, or early childhood education they can go on to graduate school or seek a teaching job. Several of thestudentteachers we spoke to are enjoying their teac ing duties including making lesson plans, helping individual students with school assignments, and dealing with disciplinary problems.

Anyone interested from the community was welcome to attend the festivities, which were held at the Kirby Health Center located on 71 N. Franklin St., WilkesBarre. A number of children attended and were welcome to participate in numerous ativities such as face painting, a magic show, and various other games. Parents who participated were escorted around to the different displays which explained the program and what the Children 's Association is all about. The program, WVCA, provides family centered services to children who are developmentally disabled. Whether they have cerebral palsy, down syndrome, or a mental deficiency to name a few, the Children's Association offers physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, preschool programs, parent programs, family support groups and medical services.

One of these areas for men and women alike may be the desire to establi sh or re-establish credit.

Some ideas for es tab lishing credit and repairing an unfavorable credit rating fo llow: 1. Open a checking or savings account at a local bank. Manage these accounts carefully and use checks to pay for goods and services at area stores. Creditors consider checking and savings accounts as a sign of stability. 2. Apply for a store or gasoline credit card. Their policies tend to be more lenient toward extendin g credit than the major card iss uers. 3. Pay all bills promptly. 4.

What would our world be like if they hadn ' t? Granted. Wilkes University is pretty far removed from the implications of a military invasion, but is it? If there had been an invasion, it would have affected all of us both direct,y and indirectly. There are many students on this campus who have military obligations, more than most of us realize. For those of us who do, we have spent the last couple of weeks in limbo, hoping everything would work itself out before we were called back into active service. For those students that do not have military obligations, they would still feel the effects of a military invasion. Classmates, friends and relatives could have been called away. In a worse-case scenario, they might have been drafted themselves. But it didn 'thappen, so why should we worry about it right? Or should we? U.S. troops landed in Somalia and that went well for the first couple weeks, but then things turned sour. American service men and women lost their lives in Somalia. Will similar events take place in Haiti? Will service members loose their lives again? And why give General Cedras until October 15 to resign his power? Shouldn't he have been ousted immediately? And what about Aristide? Is he a competent, stable leader? with his political history, should we feel safe with Arstide in power? With so many unanswered questions, the Haitian situation is, by no means, stable . How do you reel about the threat of military invasion to force the military heads to respond to the wishes of the U.S. government? Do you believe the President should continue to send U.S. troops to the "hotspot"' countries through out the world? Please think carefully and r.::spond responsibility.

In the interest of promoting accuracy in reporting , however, I should like to note that the article " fore ign language is no longer required' " did not quite reflect what I said, or how I said it, in my brief telephone interview with the staff reporter. Be assured, however, that we value your effort and look forw ard to your continued interest in and future articles on the Department. U bung macht den Meister ' To the Editor, Does the Wilkes guide to learning, which states, "An educated man or woman ... is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among all people," no longer hold true? We are writing in response to a recent article in 'Ol:IJc ]lacacon. In the Campus Life section, there was an article concerning the Foreign Language Department. We are concerned with the changes that are underway. We would appreciate straightforward answers for the questions we are about to put before you from someone that has a clear understanding or what is going on. First and foremo st, our major grievance concerns the future of the Foreign Language Department and its students, as well as the effects of upcoming changes on the university as a whole . Can we realistically expect to main- tain Wilkes' concept of internationalization by minimizing the Foreign Language Depa1tment? The article stated that at least two-thirds of the department have recieved their letters of termination. Are we truly preparing our students for a culturally diverse society by minimizing their oppurtunities to experience other cultures ? Won ' t this affect other departments ' options, such as Business, International Studies, Psychology, Pharmacy, etc? Other universities are reinforcing cultural diversity by expanding their foreign language departments. Can Wilkes maintain a competitive edge and produce students of the same caliber as other universities? Wilkes boasts diversity in both its student body and its faculty. By not supporting this diversity, isn ' t this being hypocritical? We question the motives behind these changes. Because enrollment has declined in some languages, does this give the university the right to make students such as those who attended Wilkes because of the expe1tise of our current faculty members, suffer? Will this practice of streamlining a department be universal for all departments with declining enrollment? For instance, if enrollment decreases in the Engineering department, would this practice occur? In conclusion , is this a diturbing trend or is it simply a commandment handed down by the gods of Wilkes University'? Dear Editor: To the Editor: Every now and again this own football games!!!

Brenner - - · · · · - · · · · · - · · · · · · · • · ·· �~be ,Seaton $eptember 15, 1994 with Joseph Rae In 1904, John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, refused to play the Boston Pilgrims after winning the National League pennant. McGraw was still bitter at Ban Johnson, president of the American League, for suspending McGraw several years before, and McGraw refused to have anything to do with the American League. * The Giants won the National League pennant again in 1905, however, this time the Giants played, only because the Giants' players were still angry about losing their $1,000 World Series Bonus the year before. And through two World Wars, one police action, a great depression, an earthquake, a presidential assassination, social and cultural revolutions, the cold war, the resignation of a President, and even the birth of the New York Mets, the World Seiies has been a fall institution. No matter the adversity that Americans may face, the World Series has always been our connection to our past, to our present, to our future, through good times and bad, the World Series gave all Americans the insight into our future, one season at a time. Whatever the changes that we, as Americans, may face, baseball and the World Series will always connect the generations. But now, it's gone; the victim of greed and arrogance. Ninety years of tradition thrown away by the current inheritors of our national pastime, Lhose who have deemed Lhemselvcs imponanL enough Lu Linker wiLh the fundamentals or an institution . But what is just as disturbing is the fan apathy toward the cancellation of the World Series. In our ten-second sound bite society organization, that brought our society competition, the sport that brought our society together, is declining because all of us are losing that link with the future, too concerned with our petty squabbles of today and not concerned with our future. Unfortunately, baseball is just following the trend , a retlection of the larger trends in our society. When the future historians debate the decline of the United States, they will look toward this baseball season as the beginning of the end. What a fitting epitaph to the close of the American Century. t)age 7 lble <!Cbatter with Michael Butchko Ir Rush Limbaugh has Dittohcads, and Jerry Garcia has Deadheads (unless you entered the Dead fold after 1987, then you ' re a Touch Head) , can we assume that this entity has produced Chatter Heads?

In loving memory of Tyrone Tutt By LYNNMAR1E ROSEN CRANCE Editor-in-Chief There is a smile, a laughter, and a song missing from the cafeteria this year. The smile, laughter and song belonged to Tyrone Tutt, a 17 year veteran at the Wilkes University cafeteria. But Tyrone was more than just a 17 year vet at the cafe. He was the cafe's lifeline, its heartbeat, its heart. Many of you probably knew Tyrone. In the morning you may have passed by and heard his morning "heyyyy" . This was the symbol of the beginning of another day at the cafeteria, not a day went by without Tyrone. Tyrone Tutt was more than an outstanding worker who received an award from Monison' s Cafeteria for never being late nor missi ng a day of work in all those yems. He was more than just a hard-workingemployee who always helped out his fellow workers hy refilling the milk containers on the cafcte1ia floor or lining heavy objects for some of the ladies with whom he worked. He was a wann,caiing, giving, happy man who shared all of his heait with everyone he came in contact with. He was a man who cared so much for the children that Michael Jackson was his idol because of all Jackson did for the children of the world. He was so in awe of Jackson that he used to say "Thank Michael" instead of "Thank God". When something good happened to Tyrone, he used to say it was because "Michael" was looking after him. He was a man who would do anything for anyone. He cared so much for all of the P'"Ople in his life. Ifhe overheai·d students talking about a party over the weekend, he would tell them, "never you mind about that, you hit the books! School is ver'y imp011ant." Bishop Hoban High School even did a video feature on him because he would tell them the same thing. Tyrone was a m,rn who would give you the shirt off his hack if you needed it He loved and he was loved. This summer he passed away and the cause or his death is still under suspicion. But his memory will never fade. It hums b1ighter than any star known to man. For all or the students who knew him. remember his smile, his laughter and his song. May his memory live always within us. Tyrone, you will not be forgotten. =enter. Christmas 1991. bottom left. Christmas 1990. bott o m center. Christmas 1987. bottom right. l'vlcxican night al the cafeteria .

Leading the way for the Colonels was sophomore sensation Ryan Alston. The speedy wide receiver, almost single handely di ssected Lebanon Valley ' s defense and special teams with two touchdown receptions, a two-point conversion and a 70 yard punt retur1;1 touchdown. In the first quarter, Alston's spectacular 37 yard touchdown catch from pre-season alf-amcrican quarterback Boo Pen-y capped a six play 63 yard drive. Lebanon Valley tied the score in the second quarter, when Lebanon Valley quarterback Alan Futrich hit B.J. Frey with a 10 yard touchdown pass. Colonel kicker, Joel O'Donnell displayed his ability as a future star in the MAC. The j unior hit two field goals, from 36 and 29 yards respectively , to give t 11 e Colonels a 13-7 lead halftime . Perry set off fireworks with a six play, 86 yard scoring drive, topped off by a 16 yard to uchdow n pass to wide receiver Bill Butkey, to open the second half. Wilkes converted the two-point conversion when PeITy hit Alston to increase the lead to 21-7. The most exciting player in the MAC could possibly be Alston. nected with Alston, on a 9 yard touchdown pass with 3:25 left in the third quarter, on a drive set up by a Joe Woodward interception at the Lebanon Valley 40.

By JOHN DORSEY Staff Writer Unfortunately, when we go to Wilkes athletic events this year, there will be no helicopters motorcades, horses, unicycles.or dummy-dragging gocarts. The Colonel Bob era is over. Filling the shoes of Bob Wachowski will not be an easy task. There are not many who could perform the antics that Bob did. This year, Wilkes opted for a costume and mask-wearing mascot, and although many expected a disappointing reaction, not many expected what was to happen at the home football opener last Saturday. Fans heckled the new mascot, yelling "You ' re not Colonel Bob !" And these fans were not just a few rowdy college students, some of them were par- ents and other older adults. One woman even attempted to trip the Colonel after he tried to shake hands with her. While the games may not be quite the same without Colonel Bob , it is ce11ainly poor spirit on the part of the fans to put down anyone who represents the Colonels, especially the team mascot. Although no one may be able to fill the shoes of Colonel Bob, fans need to support the Colonel, regardless of who it is. Photo by .Meghfip La,Yigna ...

He·s been a Most Valuable Player, he 's won a batting crown, he 's been an All-Star and he's won countless Gold Glove Awards . But, New York Yankee First Baseman, Don Mattingly, has one goal to achieve to fulfill his baseball career. His goal is to play post-season baseball, before age gets the best of him . Mattingly, 33, and the Yankees were destined to make the playoffs this season, until the tlreaded strike disrupted play on August 12. Now with the 1994 season officially over, without any type of post-season, Mattingly's .304 batting average and the Yankees 6 1/2 game lead in the Ame1ican League East are worthless. The post-season has been within reach several times , since Mattingly's rookie season of 1983. But, like a long-distance runner collapsing 20 yards from the finish line, the Yankees could never linish strong. In 198 5 and '8(- . the Yankees finished second, 2 games behind Toronto and 5 1/2 games behind Boston. The 1987 season saw the Yankees with a 3 game lead in the American League East at the AU-Star break. Injuries proved to be fatal in the second half as the Yankees plummeted to fourth place, 9 games out of first. An obviously frustrated Mattingly predicted the Yankees to win the 1988 American League East pennant, in the spring of that year. But, Ma_ttingly and the Yankees didn't live up to expectations as the te;i m fini~hPrl fifth, 3 1/2 games behind Boston. The 1989-1992 seasons were primarily rebuilding campaigns for the Yankees. In this period, a nagging back injury caused Mattingly to bat a disappointing .286 with 51 HR 'sand · 309 RBI's. This coming from the same player who batted .3.:n with 119 HR's and 483 RBl"s in his first four full seaso ns. Last season, the Yankees were contenders, but the multi talented Toronto ball club ran away with the pennant ancl the championship. The bright spot for the 1993 Yankees was that they led the Major Leagues in team hitting . -Led by Mattingly, Wade Boggs, Paul O ' Neill and Mike Stanley, this was an important confidence builder for the 1994 Yankees. With Boggs and Mattingly having consistent seasons and O'Neill and pitcher Jimmy Key having career seasons, the only thing to keep the Yankees out of the post-season would be some sort of cancellation. Like a curse, the cancellation happened last week with acting commissioner Bud Selig announcing the end of season, because the owners and players couldn ' t resolve the 34 day strike. Dming the strike, Mattingly mentioned retirement and with the 1995 season now in question, his last serious playoff contention may have also ended last week. If so, years from now he'll look back in disgust, knowing his possible "dream season" was ended by a group of businessmen fitted in expensive suits, sitting at a negotiations table. At least in the past, his season was determined by fellow baseball players, sweating, in the heat of competition on a baseball diamond. Over the years, the money situation in baseball has grown out of control, so rapidly that an interuption like this was inevitable. The 1994 season will be remembered as the season the "game" lost to the almighty dollar. And for Don Mattingly, it will be the season that could have been. �~be ~eacon ~age 16 Volleyball tealil dolilinat.es Delaware Valley th ~eptember 22, 1994 eAd Pad NEED EXTRA CASH then this job is for you nexible hours, paid training , bonuses and opportunities for advancement No Selling Required! call Allison at 823-2833 This i s an opportunint y you don't want to pass up !! take a ree ' . .-• .••,II! . ; c;-: MockGRE ""'-"" ' '--"--~...-...- • Mock GRE, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m . to noon • Cost is only $10 • Real test conditions • Score your own tes t and take it home • Find out yo ur strengths and weaknesses • Register in SLC 329 or SLC 366 MCI .Thi• -.8'l, take• file photo free 2 112 or 3 hour test, proctored exactly like the real thing.

Magnetic Strip aimed to provide maximum seruri By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor Do th e lines at the Registrar's office seem longer somehow? Could it be that there is just one more line to wait in? If students have been wondering what all the fuss is about, it's the new magnetic strip on the back of the Wilkes UniversityIDcardsthatiscausing such a frenzy. Many students were annoyed when they learned upon their return that they must update their ID card. Not only did they have to stand in lines for books, financial aid forms, and class schedules, but now students had to stand patiently in a new line. As students forced themselves through the wait, their minds wondered what the point of all this was. "The point of the magnetic sttip," said Mr. PaulO ' Hop, VicePresidentfor Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterp1ises, "is to provide maximum security for the Wilkes Campus." With the development of the magnetic strip, Wilkes is hoping to convert the entire campus into a united infrastructure system. Although at the present time, the ID can only be used as a meal card and to enter parking lots, within a few years the whole campus will revolve around the magnetic strip. For the students, this is an improvement compared to the prese nt system. Instead of ''I'm Hungry... howabouttheSUB?'' opening a door with a key, one only has to insert their card in the slot. For the administration, there are even greater advantages. When entering the parking lots with the ID card , the time, date and length of the visit is recorded on a slip of paper. This can be reviewed by officials so maximum security can be enforced. Another advantage is since the lines for the system will run underground instea d of ove rhead , Co eral Motors C orp. in Colorado fast and save for later on Springs, Colorado) originally said in the day.

He added that dropping foreign languages from the core, "make their study look more attractive to the student body" and feels it,"should be advantageous to the depaitment in the long run." According to Dr. Walter Karpinich , enrollment has dropped slightly in low level courses, as would be expected. But he's confident that it is good for the department to have only interested students enrolled. He thinks that, "Foreign language study should not be a blind requirement with no rationale and enhances students' character, education, and employability." Dr. Karpinich is optimistic that the future of the department looks good. But comments from the faculty paint a vastly different picture. Dr. Robert Steele, the department's French professor, says that he and another faculty member have received notices of termination from the University. Dr. Steele states that the reason given for his dismissal is, "declining enrollment" and admits that his class size this year is, "two-thirds to threefourths of what it had been in the past." Together, they comprise two-thirds of the department's full- time professors. Dr. Karpinich is the third. The remaining courses have been taught by adjunct faculty in the past, but surely the loss of both professors cannot be absorbed by part-time professors. Steele wonders what will happen to the study of French and Spanish on campus since next year there will be no one to teach them. Who will teach the truly motivated students? Dr. Steele had only this to say, "I have absolutely no idea what the future of his department is ." onstruction Corner ofthemajorconstruc1ects that Wilkes Unihas been working on is and improved bookLocated on the corner th River and South adjacent to Bedford the bookstore will be ted into the new Stumon Dining Complex, th them ail room, vari- ough many people, lythestudents, would a larger bookstore, te size has not been set ds to be pro gram med architects. architects chosen for hthedesigning group ve their own opinions gthe new bookstore, several students also feel a few suggestions should be made. Melissa Koslap remarked, "I don't totally dislike the bookstore, but I think there is so much more they could do with it. I really liked the new idea of the cards. It's so much easier to walk to the bookstore for a card, rather than going to the square." Liz Achaaf feels, "the new bookstore should include some type of convenient store atmosphere. Maybe if there were more accessible items, a larger number of students would go there for more than just the books." Another problem that has really annoyed the students us the fact that the present bookstore is very crowded. Marisa Rae suggests, "when the new bookstore 1s built, I think they should have a separate line just for returns and exchanges. It's really a hassle when you have to wait 20 minutes just to return one book. " Lance Costello agrees the lines are too long, but also remarks that a definite munber of book orders need to be made. "Too many times I've gone there and the books I need have been out. It may not be their fault, but I think an ample supply should be kept in stock so we don't have these problems every time we go to get books." Administration is very aware of the students needs and hope that the overall layout will accommodate with what they'd like to see. All in all, a lot of time, money, and planning has been put into this new project and hopefully everyone at Wilkes University will benefit in the long run. S.G.

USAir Crash deadJieq since 1987 Veto Overturned By REGINA FRAPOLLI News Editor By REGINA A. FRAPPOLI News Editor It was the deadliest crash in the United States since 1987. On September 8, 1994, at approximately7:10pm, USAir Flight 427 took a nosedive and crashed, killing 127 passengers and five crew members. There were no survivors. The flight was scheduled to leave O' Hare at 4:50 p.m. and aITive at the Pittsburgh International Airport near Aliquippa, Pa. at 7:09 pm . Although the flight was running a few minutes behind schedule, the Public Relations department at USAir reported that "the crew radioed in to Pittsburgh tower when the aircraft was within six miles of the airport and there was no indica- Do tion at that time of any difficulty." Routine maintenance checks which are done every 1,150 hours, were completed on July 20, 1994. The heavy maintenance check, which is done every 11,000 hours, was completed in February 1993. According to the USAir Public Relations Office, "the aircraft was manufactured in October 1987. It had accumulated a total of 23,846 flying hours and completed 14,489 cycles (takeoffs and landings)." Captain Peter Germano, 45, of Moorestown, NJ, and first officer Charles B. Emmett III, 38, of Nassau Bay, Texas, were the 2 pilots on board. Captain Ge1mano had been employed with USAir since February 1981, and had 9,112 hours of total flying time, 3,269 hours in 737-300 aircrafts. First Officer Emmett, who had 9,119 hours total flying time and 3,645 hours in the 737-300 aircraft, had been employed with USAir since February 1987. Of the 132 people on the flight, there were four people who were residents of Wyoming Valley. Our prayers and thoughts are with the following families : Dwight Evans of Tunkhannock Twp., Charlie Famtacha of Montoursville, B1ian Nichols of Nanticoke, and Daniel Kafcas of Trucksville. Wilkes-Barre creates wall of diversity They said that they would oveITide it and they did. Last Thursday, September 8, the Wilkes-Barre City Council unanimously overrode Mayor Namey's veto, which was presented before council on July 14, 1994, prohibiting, "standing, sitting, walking or idly milling about..., obstructing pedestrians ... , and ... begging." When the loitering ordinance was first proposed to rid the streets of undesirables such as prostitutes and gangs, Namey felt the wording was too vague. He vetoed the bill in hopes that clarifications could be m stating, "if I can hardly und stand the meaning of the wor how could the people on streets." Since the councilmen f very strongly about the or nance, instead of removin~ from their agenda, they agr to make amendments.

Box 111 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 �<ebitoral Procrastination is a terrible thing. Unfortunately, many of us are procrastinators. So the questions arise: Is it our generation? Is it a college thing? Is it societal or are we just lazy? Of course, none of us want to consider ourselves lazy, that would be too self-destructive. But are we? Or are we too easliy distracted from our obligations as we wander off on tangents? Is it our generation? Generation X, as Rush Limbaugh and many other people have labeled us, has taken a lot of hits. We have no identity according to many an anlysist, so that would strike the generation theory. If we as a group have no identity, then we have no common traits, right? Is it a college thing? Maybe. As students, most of us wait until the last minute to do research papers, daily homework assignments and study for exams. There are some among us who truly do work systematically and follow a time schedule. And there are many of us who say every semester, "I am going to do everything on time this year. I am going to start my research project the second week of class and diligently work on it all semester." And, like New Year's resolutions, it usually doesn't happen. Well, if it is a college thing, do we leave it in college after we graduate? Chances are we don ' t. Once we get used to waiting for the last minute to do something, we will probably never try to do it in advance. Unless, of course, we learn our lesson early. At '{!];JJe ~e11co11 , we have not yet learned our lesson. One would think we would have by now. We seem to be unable to get our paper together before the early morning hours of Thursday.

Faculty, staff and students turned out Tuesday morning to witness the Wilkes University officials turn shovels full of dirt at the future site of a 'SJ million classroom building. Preceding the ground breaking ceremony, Greentree Nurseries removed and replanted a hydrangea and two holly trees. The Allentown fi.tm owns one of the largest tree spades in the United States and charges $250 per hour for tree removal. Each tree that is removed will cost the university between $5,000 and $10,000. Drningremoval, themonsuuus spade is positioned above tl1e uee as mechanical arms enclose the trunk. 1l1e spades are then thrust into tl1e tl1e earth and the tree is uplifted. According to Staff Architect Robe1t D. Sartin, Wilkes would like to keep as many trees as they can, but, the large tlee that divided the parking lot cannot be saved due to the enomlity of its trunk system. The u-ansplantation process would leave little chance for the tree's survival. Many students and faculty are concerned about the well-being of the uees,especiallythehydrangea, which seems to be a favorite. All can rest easy.

Greyholill~ a ~ Lady Colon---·· By ANGIE ZA WA TSKI Sports Writer It was quite obvious Saturday that the Lady Colonels were out to play a great game. Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as planned, thanks to a tough Moravian team that defeated Wilkes 1-0 in an evenly matched game. Coming off their first loss of the season to Lebanon Valley on Thursday, the Lady Colonels had very little time to rebuild. The evident enthusiasm of the Lady Colonels helped Wilkes dominate the entire game at every aspect, except where it mattered the most, on the scoreboard. After a scoreless first half, Moravian 's Sue Zimmennan scored the only goal following a penalty corner, with 30:31 left in the game. The most disappointing play of the game came with 20:21 left on the clock. Wilkes scored an apparent goal that was called back because of an off sides call. Wilkesheldal4-5advantage in shots on goal an d a 14-4 edge in penalty corners. Although the Lady Colonels had many opportunities, they failed to score. Wilkes record now stands at ??'I.

Cowboys still Super? Many questions about the two-time defending Super Bowl Champion Dallas Cowboys have been answered in the first two weeks of the season . A big question this pre-season dealt with Barry Switzer's ability to coach in the NFL. Many football analysts said Jerry Jones' decision to hire Switzer as a replacement for a great motivator like Jimmy Johnson would be devastating to a team that can win an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl. Switzer, who hasn't coached any level of football in six years is very similar to Johnson. Both have won national championships on the college level and both have the motivation to carry a team. Johnson built the current Dallas team and won two Super Bowls. He achieved his goal quicker then expected and he had nothing left to prove in Dallas. Switzer, has a fresh drive to win the Super Bowl and he'd love to accomplish this in his rookie season. He has done a great job of just being a "willing observer" and not trying to take over the team. His motivation could be the key to unlocking a third straight Super Bowl victory. Don't get me wrong, Switzer didn't inherit an average team. Although, they have been dismantled a bit, the core of the team is still present. The offense will still score 23.5 points a game, but the defense was questioned this pre-season, due to freeagency losses. The big blow to the team was the departure of AllPro linebacker Ken Norton. So far, replacement Robert Jones has been superb. This shouldn't be a surprise, considering Jones started 13 games at linebacker as a rookie in 1992, when Dallas had the NFL's top-rated defense. In the 1994 season opener, Dallas faced a Steeler ream that was supposedly "threatening" to the Cowboys. The turning point of the contest was two-straight sacks by defensive end Charles Haley in the first quarter. After that, the Pittsburgh offense was paralyzed.

On a key third down at the Dallas 20 yard line, late in the third quarter, safety DaITen Woodson intercepted a pass that set up a scoring drive capped by a 53 yard TD reception by Alvin Harper. Harper's TD proved to be pivotal in Dallas ' 2017 win. It's too early to say if Dallas will win the Super Bowl, but under extreme pressure the past two weeks, Dallas has responded as a Super Bowl team should, by winning. �Volleyball team spiked By RY AN ALSTON ► Staff Writer On Tuesday, September 13, the Wilkes University women 's volleyball team battled the Albright Lions at The Marts Gymnasium. Coming off a strong performance in the King 's tournament, Wilkes did not come out with the same intensity, dropping three sets. Coach Haslin said, "They're a much better team (Wilkes) than they showed tonight, it was the first game jitters." Albright jumped out to an early 10-1 lead in the first set. Wilkes played hard but was unable to come back from such a large deficit and fell 15-3. Wilkes hied to regroup and come back. In the second set, Wilkes tied the score at three, before Albright explo ded fo r ten straight points and ended the set with another outburst of five straight points. After dropping the first two sets and being put on the defensive, Wilkes came out very intense! y and kept the game close. Albright had a very deep squad and physically wore down the Wilkes team , opening a 10-5 lead before ending the match 15-5. Wilkes got a strong effort from sophomore front blocker, off hitter, Samantha Smart, who, when asked when asked about the loss, stated, "We need to work in practice on defensive play and team spirit." ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► ► Al thou. ~ ~ TAC011ELL® f Bring your hungry friends into The Bell, and scarf down a load of tantilizing TACO BELL, food and get a fat discount to boot! ~ ► ~ ► thomeon , very imp rlying thE ackages.

ByJEFFZAPOTOCZNY Staff Writer What happened to that low 13: 1 studenttofacultyratiothat Wilkes so proudly advertises? Many students attend classes so large that theyfiU Stark 101 , the largest lecture hall on campus to capacity. These complaints are coupled with speculation to the whereabouts of the rumored 20 new faculty members hired for the 1994-95 acedemic year. Oh, I know, they are all in the new pharmacy program. Or are they? Many students also seem to think that since Wilkes gained university status a few years back, its student population bas grown considerably. Has it? The real question is: Has the student to faculty ratio changed or is it just being misinterpreted? The truth is that it is being misinterpreted. .According to Scott Bodfish, Wilkes' official statistician, confusion is due to the misreading of data There -is a difference between the term, "student-to-faculty ratio." It is supposed to be 13:1, but the actual class size, currently rests at an average of nearly 18:1. The definitions of full-time and part-time students and faculty plays a large role when the ratio is calculated. To be considered full-time, the student must be enrolled in at least five· coursespersemester. Forteaching faculty, the minimum number of courses that must be taught is four. When the figures are compiled, the total number of fulltime students equals the sum of 1) those with five or more courses, and 2) a combination of part-time students whose total classes equals five. Wilkes really bas not grown. Onlyninemorepeopleenrolled as full-time undergraduates this fall than did last year. That's U!iardly a dramatic increase, and that number could go down as students are permitted to drop courses without penalty until early October. Andallthosenewprofessors? Almost all of them are filling vacancies, wbicbinsomecases, have been open for more than a year. In fact, only two faculty members were added to the buddingphannacydepartment. What is interesting is the difference in definition between full-time student and full-time professor.

True, if a current full-time Wilkes professor was required to teach five classes instead of four, class size would go down, but the missing time that cannot be accounted for is comprised of office hours spent by faculty as both advisors and tutors, which of course varies from professor to professor. Where does this leave Wilkes? "More or less even with our size last year," said Dr. J. Michael Lennon, the Vice President in charge of Academic Affairs. Ice cream welcome By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor The faculty and staff at Wilkes University gathered with family and friends on Weckesser lawn, Wednesday, August 31, for an ice cream social hosted by administration.

It could happen in Iowa, Maine, or especially on a campus like Wilkes University, which is located in the middle of the city. Just recently, a man who mostly everyone considered a normal-looking guitar player, gallavanted around Wilkes campus performing for anyone who would take the time to listen. Only a few days after his brief appearance on campus, John Charles Blaum was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and harassment. While on campus, not only was he seen in Stark lobby, but several reports were made by various dorm members that Blaum was seen lurking around their halls. By Wednesday evening, the first call was made to the police by Jerry Cookers, the head of security. He reported that not only had Blaum been seen in the admissions, registrars, communications, and residence life offices, he had Dr. Breiseth, President of Wilkes University was very pleased with the turn out and stated, "how nice to see all the faculty and their families together again to begin a new year. Wilkes University welcomes the new faculty and staff joining us and we are glad to see the old returning." John Charles Blaum also visited McClintock Hall, where he serenaded the donn members and left them a bag of tomatoes. September 2, Blaum wa arrested by the Wilkes-Barre police department and involuntarily admitted in to am en tal hospital. Last week, King' College also made complaint concerning Blaum, and he was later arrested on the same grounds of disorderly conduc and harassment.

Free FONCARDs from Sprint for Wilkes students By REGINA FRAPPOLLI News Editor On September 1 &d 2, Sprint long distance offered a calling plan that no college srndent could pass up. Without paying any money at all and having no obligation to change long distance carriers, all students who filled out Sprint FONCARD applications were offered a wide variety of advantages. Just by filling in the application the students were automatically entered into a grand prize drawing. WiL1<:es students seem to be very excited about the new Sprint Collegiate FONCARD.

One of the hardest skills to learn is one which is not taught by a professor, there is no text book in the bookstore to guide us through the mastery of the skill. Instead, patience is more like a lifelong practicum. We work at being patient (through our errors) and it is something we all must go through to graduate into a world of understanding. The actual act of being patient is especially difficult to master in the first couple weeks of school. Everything seems to whirl by us as we try just to grasp hold of something and hang on for dear life. It is in this death grip where our patience ususally snaps. There are no quick fixes for a lack of patience but an occasiuonal step back from the situation for a few moments can help restore it a little. Whenever mbe jSeacon staff begins to become impatient, we try to step out of the situation mentally and recall that we are not the only people on campus suffering from stress and impatience. We are not the only people with deadlines, working with people who are unfamilar with the Wilkes system of doing things. Take for instance parking. Newcomers to Wilkes do not understand the physical constraints of parking on campus. Another example is ABM. If an organization, department or office on campus needs anything repaired, replaced or _ removed, a request must be submitted. The request must also be processed. All of these proceedures take time. And waiting any amount of time is what turns us from understanding, giving human beings into vicious and mean people. Waiting in line at the Bookstore for 45 minutes will tum any socially accepptable person into a raving maniac. Wilkes University is a society in itself and as with society it has its own norms, rules and moores. It is important to understand that people who don ' t know the "Wilkes way" are also very frustrated with those who do. For those who don't know the "Wilkes way," being lost in the system is worse than being lost in New York without a city map.

One question that may not have run through a lot of adult learners minds is, "if I go away to ge will I be able to make it through?". It was, in fact, a decision that Babette Schuchart had ~~~~ t . When Babette graduated from high school in 1981 started working at Hanover General ital in the Pharmacy Department. After about one year with Hanover General, Babette ·ded she wanted to become a pharmacist. . Then came the news Wilkes University was beginning a pharmacy program in the fall of . It would be a six year program and at the end of the six years you would receive your orate. It was just all too tempting for Babette. She applied to Wilkes. She was accepted and Emory Guffrovich, Dean of Admissions,began get all her paperwork ready and filled out her class schedule for her. "I couldn't believe it," Babette, "things like that just didn't happen at York College, you would have to go through secretaries before you got to any dean at all." Score one for Wilkes! "I feel so welcome at Wilkes. The people here are much more friendlier and helpful." said Babette. Score two for Wilkes! Babette agrees with most of the adult learners when she says that deciding to come back to school isn't an easy decision. The fact that most of the students in her classes would be 18 was also something that would play on her mind but fortunately it did not hold her back.. Because Wilkes puts more of an emphasis on their adult learners. Score three for Wilkes! Lucky for us Wilkes is committed to die adult learner. On one of Babette's first day of classes, a professor she had told her he enjoys having adult )earners in his classes, he looks to them to help with the younger students. Talk about making aperson's first day to a new school a little bit better and brighter! Thoogh Wilkes is where Babette wants to be she is still going to face a few challenges during six-year stay her. She will have to endure time away from her husband. As it stands now, she plans on returning Hanover every weekend but, even so, it will still be tough on her. She will be away from family and friends and money will more than likely be a little bit tighter. When Babette was attending York college, she was working full-time and Hanover General lped pay her tuition. Now that she is at Wilkes, she pays her tuition 100%. Though her husband is working full-time as a paramedic down in Hanover she has been reduced to working part-time. Babette and her husband realize that things are going to be tough for the next 6 years but with lot of love and support things will work out. ' Babette is just one of many adult learners at Wilkes. We all have are different stories on how got here but one thing is for sure, our goals are all the same. And that goal is to graduate from college and be the best we can be in whatever it is life has ned for us after aduation. Welcome, or welcome back, to Wilkes. I realize that this is t!Q)e illtamn·s second issue, but because this is only the first Chatter, the welcome mat must be laid. This semester will be an especially trying time on everyone's patience, with the massive con~iruction undertaking on campus. But all of this will eventually lead to great changes, and a better university. It is in this spirit that this week we examine two areas of extracurricular interest at Wilkes. First, as you've probably already seen, ~ t illtamn is looking marvelous, inside and out. The office on the second floor of Hollenback Hall is renovated, and the paper is enjoying a renaissance of sorts. The appearance, as well as the substance, are improved. Special acclaim should go to the new Editor-in-Chief, who has many great ideas and the guts to implement them. Let the word go forth: 11rbe ~eacon is back. There is another issue that is not as heart warming. As most of you know, this pseudo-journalist also dabbles in the broadcast media, specifically the radio coverage of sports here at Wilkes. Along with my trusty partners, and a very exciting newcomer, this football season was going to be enjoyable. Then the news came that Wilkes has hired WBAX to cover the football games, and is paying them. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. This is a democracy, however, and you have choices. Just as the school chose not to promote their own sports coverage ( which, I might add, is not half bad), you now have an option for your listening pleasure. You can tune in to WBAX, and here the players' names butchered as the "professionals" refer to the Colonels as Wtlkes College (sic). Or you can give some hardworking and devoted college students the minimal credit they would greatly appreciate, and truly deserve. You be the judge. Go ahead. You '11 be in for a pleasant surprise, and then ask,"Why are we paying someone else to do the same game?" when you discover the answer, please let me know; I'm curious as well. <!&rgani~eb ~narcbp withloseph Rae Strangely enough, I cried when I first learned that baseball players were paid. I believe I was nine, already on my way to become the worst little league ballplayer, and the concept of baseball as a career seemed rather alien to me. Each day at 4 pm. I'd faithfully attend practice or proudly show off my uniform on occasional Wednesdays and Saturdays for games, never once imagining that people, my heros, were paid to play this great national pastime. However in this era of professional sports, my romantic visions about the sport of baseball without the harsh world of economics are ancienL Without a doubt, baseball is experiencing economic difficulties. With stiff competition from other forms of entertainment for dollars, declining television viewing, loss ofrevenues, rising salaries, and a decline of baseball as our national pastime, club owners have found themselves in a rather shaky position; a position lbat they feel will be stabilized by the implementation of a salary cap. The salary cap, utilized in the NBA and the NFL, is designed to pay the players less than market value for their talents. The worth of a player would be measured in percentage share of the salary pie, rather than a dollar amount. In a free-market system, asalary cap would limit the ability of the player to earn a fair market value; while baseball is not a true free-market system, due to our limits on player and franchise movements, a salary cap would artificially lower salaries. A cap would hurt all players, especially those players on backup role (as evidenced by the NFL). Baseball is huge industry, but moreover, a player driven industry without quality players, baseball would cease to exisL The nature of ec_onomics has changed 1he game of baseball. Owners can no longer own a player for their entire career and pay them as they please. Due to free-agency, player salaries are in line with 1baseball revenue.

Wilkes opens the season ranked in five pre-season publications. The Colonels are ranked third in Football Digest, eighth in Sports Illustrated, eleventh in Street & Smith, fifteenth in Don Hansen's Football Gazette, and eighteenth in College Footbal Preview. The Colonels return five starters on offense and five on defense. Among those on offense is 1994 Street & Smith pre-season All-American Damon "Boo" Perry (Jr., Canton, Pa.) at quarterback. Boo is the gasoline that runs the Wilkes ·offense. He is just 756 yards shy of tying the school record for career yardage and just three touchdown passes shy of the school record. Perry's favorite ' targets will once again be Ryan I Alston (So., Ocean, NJ.) and Mike Gundersdorf(So. , Hackettstown, NJ.). The ground attack will be keyed by Florida's Class "AA" State Player of the Year Elijah Powell (Fr.,Tampa, FL.)attailback. BillBachman (Fr., Hackettstown, NJ.) will also see a great deal of time. The fullback spot will be manned by Marc Jackett (So., Moscow, Pa.) with Wayne Meckley (So., Turbotville, Pa.) backing him up. The defense will be anchored by 1993 Champion U.S.A. All-American defensive end Jake Cole (Sr., Mt. Carmel, Pa.). Cole led the Colonels in sacks with 14, tying a school record. He is joined by defensive backs Ben McKeown (Sr., Wilkes-Barre, Pa.), Aaron Wilk (Jr.,Shamokin, Pa.), and Joe Woodward(Sr.,Ashland,Pa.), and linebacker Bob Delbo (Sr., Mt. Carmel, Pa.), as returning starters. Look for John Reid (Fr., Little silver, NJ.), Steve Molowski (Jr., Berwick, Pa.), and Chris Cunningham (Jr., Schuylkill Haven, Pa.) to start up front while Lou Atkinson (Jr., Landsdowne, Pa.) and Shawn Masich (Jr., Berwick, Pa.) will join Delbo at linebacker. On special teams, placekicker Joel O'Donnel (Jr., Plymouth Meeting, Pa.) returns in 1994 after converting 25 of 34 extra points and 7 of 13 field goal attempts. Joe Machuzak (Sr., Marion Hts, Pa.) and Augie Mitschke (Fr., Bloomfield, NJ.) are battling it out for the punting chores. The game on Saturday will be the second ever meeting of the two teams. Wilkes won the only meeting 20-17 in 1970. This will be the second game of the season for the Owls of Southern Connecticut.

The new college, known as Bucknell University Junior College, was successful in attracting as students, ahle and highly motivated yo ung persons , virtually all of whom were the first members of their families to hendit rrom l1igher educatio n. The college also received support and encouragement from leading memhers or the Wilkes-Barre community, many of whom served on the Board of Trustees. The stately mansions on campus donated to the college, that are now used by the University for some of its residence halls and offices. tes tify to the tradition of community service and generosity characteristic or the Wilkes-Barre area's leadership. The college was especially fortunate to have its own inspired and talented leaders in Arnaud C. Marts, president or Bucknell, and Eugene S. Farley, director of the Wilkes-Barre campus. In 194 7, t11e institution became Wilkes College, an independent, non-denominational r< iur -year c< illege. with programs in the arts and sciences and a numberofprotessional fields as well as a full program ofcxtraciricular acitivities. The student body and faculty grew rapidly in the 19.'iO's, and expansion into graduate studies followed in the 1960's and 1970's. ln the 1980's, Wilkes gained recognition a an increasingly sophisticated regional center for teach.ing, academic research, cultural affairs, and public service programs. Designation as Wilkes University in 1990 capped an eventfitl and productive half century of development, and signaled the hegi nni ng or a new era of pro gress as an increasingly distfoguished and prominent academic institution. �pa11e2 url)e ~eacon ~tt1Jtt$t 29, 1994 <!Ebitorial Welcome and welcome back It seems like it was just yesterday when we all said goodbye for the summer but here we are already! Where did the summer go? We at 'filbc :Ifilcacon would like to welcome everyone to Wilkes, both new and returning students, and wish you Go<l speed as you travel through the halls of Wilkes. In my years here I have had many successes and have been lucky enough to share them with my friends and family. However, ther have been many times in where I have stumbled too. Luckily, I had the support of my friends and family to pick me up and put me back on my feet again. I wish for all of you the success which I have enjoyed. But if I may, let me tell you my secret. When I fi rst anived at Wilkes, I ha<ln 't lived in the area fo r four years; I was a stranger. I felt very alone until Ijoine<l a few clubs on campus. It was in those clubs where I found my second family: my.fi-iends. But it wasn't just the getting to know people that made me feel better about Wilkes and myself. It was the way I became a part of Wilkes that changed my outlook. I've noticed in the past that many people here are apathetic. They will complain about the way things are but never <lo anything to make them better. I don't understand that concept. If you can change something for the better, why not <lo it? Actions sp~ak louder than words. So I ask you, as a student of Wilkes, as a reader of this publication, if there's something you don't like, <lo something to fix it. As far as our plans here at 'fillJc :Ifilcucon goes we intend on increasing our coverage from 12 to 16 pages. The four new pages will cover world and local news, the word on campus, spotlight of an outstanding member of our campuscommunity, an adult learner page and a classified ads section for your use. As you read 'fillJc :Ifilcaron, I hope you will let us know if you don't disagree with something we have ptinted or if you think we should cover an event. 'filbc :Ifilcacon is a student publication.

But look very closely at the grandfather clock; can you tell which side of the clock was carved by the master and which was carved by his apprentice? ~ugust I ~eptCmber $Ullbap iffilonbap urue%bap Wene%bap W::1Jnr%bnp jfribap $flt1trbnp 28 29 30 31 l 2 3 Registra- .C lasses tion and begin bookstore 8 a.m. open 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Bookstore S.G. meeting hours 8:30 6:30 p.m. a.m. to 6:30 p.m. (MonThru) 4 6 Labor Day Recess 5 Labor Day Classes reRecess sume 8a.m. Club Day 11 a.am to 1 p.m. Airborne Comedians 11 a.m. Commence- Labor Day reces s bement 11:45 Henry gins 5 p.m. Gymnasium .

''A short term inconvience for a long term inprovement" page 3 Transfer Student ✓ Checklist -by Gina M. Tagnani ByLYNNMARIE ROSENCRANCE Editor-in-Chief New Parking Plan It has been said that "this is a time of change," and Wilkes is changing. For Wilkes students, parking has always been a problem. Tlus year, however, the Administration believes they have a solution. On September 6, the new parking plan goes into effect. As students at Wilkes, we have heard the word new a lot: the new core; the new, new core, the new classroom building, the new Pharmacy School, and now, the new parking plan. The Details The most important change of course is the parking fee. Full time students will be charged $60 a semester (approximately 68 cents a day for a five day week.) Part time students will pay $20 asemester, as they spend less time on campus. Faculty and Staff will pay $180 a year. Also paying a fee will be all outside contractors. Summer semesters and intersession have not yet been assigned a dollar amount. Students who are granted a parking permit will be required to pay the $60 fee before they recieve access to the parking lots. Permits will be awarded as they have been in the past. Each application will be reviewed by either the Interresident Council for resident students or Commter Council for commuter students. Appilcants will be awarded pointsforthestudent'syear(freshman, sophomore, junior, senior), credits taken, distance traveled and extra-curricular acitivities. Two-hundred-fifteen spaces have been alotted for students, 140 for commuter studentsand75 for resident students. Commuter students parking lots are Bedford, Temple Isreal, .... ·- 8 -everyone pays -parking 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for commuter students, faculty & staff -60 more parking spaces for students -1.D. cards encoded for park. 1ng access -more secutiy gaurds patroling parking lots on campus and at Park-n-Lock South Pickering,StudentServicesand Gutman (south side of the Mats Center.) Commuter students will have access to these parking lots from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. After 5 p.m., parking on campus is not guaranteed. Oveflow parking will be directed toPark-n-Lock South on South Main Street. Resident student parking lots are Dennison Hall, Design Systems, Marts Center and Doane Hall. Resident students will have 24 hour access to these parking lots. Evening students will have access to the parking lots after 5 p.m. Parking on campus after 5 p.m . is on a first-come, firstserve baisis. Faculty and Staff have been alotted a total of 309 parking spaces, 59 on campus, 250 at Park-n-Lnck South. Faculty and Staff on campus parking lots are the lots behind Evans, Chesapeake/Delaware, Chase and Weckesser Halls. These lots are on a first-come baisis as well. Faculty and Staff have access to these lots fmm 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Handicap spaces are available in the lot between Chase Hall and Stark Learning Center as well as in the rear of Weckesser Hall. For the lucky 215 students who are awarded parking spaces, thier I.D. cards will be encoded with a magnetic strip which will provide them access into the parking lots. Towing will be readily enforced for those who violate the parking plan. Added security is also afunction of this new plan. Additional security gaurds will patrol the on campus parking lots but will patrol more heavily atPark-n-Lock South. With this new system going into effect, there are sure to be some gliches in the system. TheAdministrationaskesfor the understanding of everyone on campus as the system goes on line in early September. As Mr. Mark Davis, DirectorofUniversityRelationsputs it, "it will be a short term inconvience for a long term improvement." 0 Make contact with your advisor A.S.A.P. If you are unsure of who your advisor is contact the Dean of Admissions, Emory Guffrovich at 8314400. Also if you are dissatisfied with your adv isor at any time for any reason, don't hesitate to take up the complaint with Mr. Guffrovich. 0 Make sure you have a copy of the handbook or bulletin which outlines the courses from the institution you transferred from. This is important so that if a question ever arises about your transferred credits, you have a description of your prior coursework. 0 Keep a running count of you academic transcript evaluation, issued by the Dean of Admissions. Be sure to check and double check that your credits were transferred in accurately, because when it comes right down to the nitty gritty, it's your responsibility. 0 Neverforgetthatyou need 60 credits from a 4year degree granting institution and at least 3 0 of those credits need to be from Wilkes. For example, if you transferred from a 2-year Associate Degree granting istitution, no m atte r how many credits you transfer, you must complete 60 credits at Wilkes, even if it exceeds the amount needed for a baccalareate in you major. 0 Half of the credits for completion of your major must be completed at Wilkes. 0 Take note that the Core Curriculum looks more confusing than it actually is. 0 As far as parking goes, good luck trying to get a spot on campus. You can pick up a application by contacting Commuter Council on the third floor of theConygham Student Center on South River Street. If your luck fails, a ton of Wilkes students park in Park & Lock South over on South Main Street. It costs $24 per month or $2 a day. To get more information on that see the attendant at the exit of the parkade. 0 By all means don't be afraid to get involved. Even though you probably feel like a Freshman, because of the new atmosphere, you're coming to Wilkes University with college experience under your belt, and that, as yo u will notice, is highly valued. □ DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK!Wedon'tbite. The faculty, staff, administration and students were all new at one time too, they know how you feel and won't dodge a question, but instead help you out as best as possible. 0 Lastly, R-E-L-A-X, Wilkes has alot to offer you, and a lthough you'll feel like a n idiot when someone asks you if you want to go to the SUB* and yo u say no because you're clostrophobic and yo u can 't swim, soon enough you'll blend in and become a part of the close-knit Wilkes family. *Student Union Building �page 4 m:IJe 1Jjeacon ~ugugt 29, 1994 urbt it Everything you need to know but were never told!

I can very honestly say that I am far from sad to sec it go. This semester took a long time getting started but once it did there was no stopping it. I'm sure al one point there, everyone at Wilkes was heginning to wonder if we would ever ha ve a complete week of school. That white stuff just kept falling out the sky as if it had to make up for the past six years. In case you haven ' t noticed, the white stuff is finally gone and now that everyone has gone out and bought th e mselv es a snow hlowcr, we'll never see it again! This semester was a hard one for me. hut I arn su re that I wasn't alone. Just when I though t I co uld hreatheagainsomc.thing else was thrown at me. At one point I hegan to wonder if all or my professors got together once a week to decide whattheycouldthrnwmy way the following week. I was doing pretty good up until the last three weeks. I didn ' t do too well in one or my classes this semester and that really bothers me. I tried really hard hut it seemed that no matter how hard I tried it just wasn' l hard enough. When I was younger, that kind or thing never bothered me. I don't know, maybe that was hccausc hack then my parents paid my tuition and now I am paying it. What a difference it makes! You live or and you learn! This semester has taught me a lot or things. One is know who your professors are before you take their class and another is know who your friends are and if they will kt you cry on their shoulder. do it. I learned this past week that if you try and handle something on your own and keep the anger locked up inside of you it just makes you even more angry. Again, you live and you learn! I think that as an adult learner I tend to do something that the traditional student doesn't. I tend to look at people my age who arc now successful in their johs and envy them hig time. All nf my friends from high school are now in stable jobs and have familiesoftheirown. I envy that. I wish it could he me, mostly hecause I am tired of studying. Ten very long years ago , I sat over at Spartan Stadium on a very hot J unc night and grad uated from high school. At that point I thought I kn ew exactly what r was going to do in life . The following September I was going LO start co ll ege al w hat is now Liberty University and graduate from there with a degree in Communications. I was going to move far away from Wilkcs-8~11Tc. work al a network alliliall'.

Somewhere in till~ past ten years, I must have come LO a fork in the road, I went one way and my plans all went the other way .

Though my dream is to work in the PR office of a major league baseball team, I will he more than happy to take a job with any PR department in any company anywhere in the United States. See, I'm not going to he the least hit picky. Hey you adult learners out there, things may not he easy right now for you, hut are they ever? It may he hard now hut eventually your payday will come. Just remember the words of the late Jim Valvano "Don't give up , don't ever give up!" The way I look at it is that I made it this far and no one will prevent me from making it further. The only one stopping me, is me! Ten years ago as I heard my alma mater for the last time I thought I knew it all. Today, I know that I do not know it all. And, in seven s hort months as I am sitting at my college graduation I still will not know it all. And that -is what will get me through next semester and therestofmy life. You see, it is not how much you know hut what you do with that knowledge. My life has changed in ten years. My plans have changed in ten years. But, one thing that never changed was that I was going to get my Bachelors Degree. I was not sure when. hut I knew it would happen. Dreams, goals, knowledge, plans they are all a part of life and what we do with them and how we handle them is completely Breiseth on Cre for Life Experien By JAY TURMAN Spec:iol to Beacon Most students at Wilkes University an: unawan:ol'C Life Experience, even non-traditional students who could from the option. According to the Wi lkcs University Bulletin, "Creditfi Expe1ience will he granted for documented college-level ing that a student acquires through non-collegiate expe · Dr. Paul Adams, dean or Academic Support Servi that everyone who has received credit for life expe · Wilkes was an adult learner. There are 500 adult students at Wilkes. Many had work experience before returning to college and credit experience may apply to many or them according 10 Christopher Breiseth . However only six students have Credit for Life Expe,ience (CLEP). CLEP is a very controversial topic here at the Uni ve a recent interview with Breiselh he outlined the contm regarding CLEP. He said, "Many !"acuity hel ieve that givingsomeoneac credits for work expc,ience does not get out the i'ull pot that studen l." There's an adult student named Jim, who worked al newspaper as sports editor r(ir fil"teen years hefore returnin his degree. He was initially told that he had 10 take: newsw1iti11g.

The issue is whether credit should he awarded !'or the experience when what was learned on thejoh can 1101 heev the same way classroom instruction is evaluated. Who is to measure the amount or learning'' Well Brciseth came up with a so lution. He said, "Ir a student arrroached my class and wanted for lire expe ri ence I would have them present sorne or 1he1 and also have them write an ess:.1y on some selected read This is one way and prnhahly the unly way you can measu much a student has learned. Another question regarding CLEP is, ii' studen ts do credits for previous work experience, how much should the cost' 1 Currently they rnsl $27 per credit. Breiseth said.

Since I was one or the seniors represented in-that show, I decided to read what was said. It was not what the reviewer had thought ahout the show that upse t me, fo r that is one man ' s opinion, instead it was how poorly the article was rescarcl1L'. d , wrilt e n and e dited .

" KRAMER Beocon Smff Writer This spring, instead llf presenting the usual two act play, with the usual star aclllrs, the departments llf Music. Till'.atcr, and Dance decided to dll sllmcthing different. The resull or this hrainstllrming, an opera entitled " Dido and Aeneas", was featured at 8:00 pm in the C.P.A. on Friday and Saturday, April 29th and 30th . The opera runs esscntiall y like any other. Royal lord meets royal lady and they fall in love. The central question usually concerns hllw the rnyal lady chooses to kill herself when she is jilted by her royal lord. That is, at least, how I viewed opera in general hefore I went to see "Dido and Aeneas." Although the plot was not the most exciting, the actors were excellent. Heather Petruzelli who starred as Didll, Queen or Carthage, was cxccptillnal in the leading rnle .

Tuhy, Dinxtor or lnslitule or Regional Allair.s, ju.st recently returned from his five month .s ta y in Bratislava which is th e capitol city or the Slovac Repuhlic. Although Professor Tuhy has severa l family memhers who reside in the Slovac Repuhlic , one or the main reasons he visited 1he Ea.slern European cm111try was hecause he is an expert advisur for the Foundation or Civi l Society . The Society, which i.s hased in New York, helps countries .sett le and reorgani/.C their educational institutions. To help rchuild the cullegc infrastruc Lure in these areas, the Society prepares ideas and aids in devcloping a more .sound foundaLi o n for the students and teach- e r.s. A long with his work for the Society, Profe.s.sorTuhy was an advisor Lo the rector, equivalent to a university president, of Trnava University and helped Lo teach a political .science course to the .students. In 1990,whileon.sahhatical leave, Professor Tuhy al.so leelured al Comenius University in Bratislava and Safa1ik Univer.sity in Pre.scov, where he also helped to e.stahli.sh a puhlic administration curriculum. In 1992, Tuhy worked with the director or the Slovac Advanccd Research Center, where he. helped with a study for the chemica l faculty or the Slovac Technical University 111 Bratislava.

Tuhy said that the ,S lovac stude nt-,; are very se1ious ahout their studies, much more so than most or their American counLerpart.s in fact. Since their room and hoard al college is funded e ntirely hy the state, st udents hecom e very com pe ti tive so that they may remain in school. As far as intelligence levels, Tuhy thinks that U.S . .students have a greater advantage in developing their skills hccau.se there is only limited information availahlc to Slovac students . Prore.s.sor Tuhy al.so said, " the Slovacs arc very computer literate and arc .slowly hut .surely trying to get away from .speaking Czech or Slovac hy speaking the English language more frequently.'' All in all, Tuhy helieve.s the higge.sl improvement theSlovac Repuhlic i.s trying to make is how they run their colleges.

And every time we have tried lo suppress them, it has resulted in large scale hatred. violence, death, and ignorance. And I stress the word ignorance. · You would think hy now that we would have"f'e arned from the mistakes of history. We should recognize now, bel"ore it is too . late, that we are all equal no mailer where we come from, what we look like, or whom we choose lo love. Adolf Hitler decided in the late l 930's that he didn ' t Iike members of the Jewish religion. It resulted in mass butchery of innocent people as well as World Warll. Do we want this to happen again? What is so had about a person loving someone of the same sex? Just because homosexuality exists, doesn't mean that everyone will have to or want Lu try it out! It doesn 't mean that those people who are "straight" will automatically turn to homosexuals. Whal it dues mean is that the people who want the freedom to he homsexual (or heterosexual) can have it. The only reason why this topic has become such a large controversial issue 1s that people arc scared. Americans become scared at every little change that comes their way. The hate crimes and discrimination exist in our area because there is little appreciation for the diversity in this community. The only way to solve this prnhlem is tu L'.duca te people and rid ourselves or ignorance. Ignorance is society's greatest enemy. This is Victims· Rights Week. a week wcslrnuld celebrate with diversity, unity and community. However, th ere have been many discriminatory acts being taken against people who have a differing sexual prel"crencc. Last night, the Wilkes-Barre City Council voted down a hill for a civil 1ights amendment to end discrimination based on sexual preference in our arL'.;t. The question is why? We need to break the silence and allow closets to open, minds to open, and hearts to open . To bar them shut would he to open old historical wounds. .... . .. . . . _J - IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist We here al !he Chatler realize 1ha1 1he l.kct:mhn holidays ;ir<.: rou ghl y t:ighl 111011l hs away. 13111 Ihis is lht: limt: of ye.u- that wishing is at its peak. save for Decemhn.

The lecture started with Dr. Michelini who began his lecture explaining the years before he took office of president of Wilkes Col lege and his predecessor, Dr. Eugene Farley.

WILKES UNIVERSITY Art students & their masterpieces By AZAHNl RASHIOI Special to the Beacon Wilkes' Bachelors and Fine Arts trndergraduates created a masterpiece that would have surely sculptured your st::nses.

It featured an array of Twentieth Century art such as paintings. calligraphy. sculpture. photography. and dyed cloth painting that left your senses numb. The incredible displays had been selected by the chairperson or the Fi11L'. Arts DepartmenL; Professor Eme1itus Simon, Associate Professor J. O'Tonle and other faculty stall. Upon the first inspection or the exhibit. some displays. such as the abstract paintings. might have appeared unclear for those who don't know much about it. Therefore, it was empirical Lo view the work in different perspectives. Situated at the entrance of the gallery was a bust made out of molded metal seemed to visualize the head or a wounded soldier. The use of layer upon layer or metal gave the man a startling image of being crushed by heavy artillery. . Richard Heberle 's "North Shore'' was a display not to he missed. His attempt to visualize the 'tide' was exquisite. Done on acrylic plaster on canvas, he seems to capture the nuance and soft touches of rolling waves. The impact of the strokes was delicate yet not sustained, thus creating a realistic image on the canvas. Photography, a strong point in Rachel Acri's exhibit focused on her life on the farm. She has a unique touch and a humorous knack of catching the animals at the right place at the 1ight time. One that stood out most was in her photo of eight cows that she calls " Judge and Jury." She seemed to understand the discussion that went on between the cows. The way they were gathcreel closely almost looked like they were in some sort of debate. Last hut not least. is the work of Jennifer Nyman. whose display was of her art of indigo dying cloth. an ancient art miginally practiced in Japan . She hiilliantly worked magic especially on her piece called the "Mokume Shihori." The color she mostly played with is indigo, which gives an exotic amhiencetothecloth. Inspiteofthewi1Jkles of the fabric. her work was simply extraordi nary . · That old saying will have to change-in this case.

He spoke of the profound affect the University and its members has as a private institution on the Wyoming Valley community. Dr. Breisth spoke or the past. hut focused mainly on the future and the goals himself as president and those of Wilkes University. The history shared in this lecture was very enlightening. But even more enlighte ning was the insight to the founders of this University.
