Just how did the students land a_joh with one of the most respe cted no n-profit organizatiuns in the area'! "The advanced puhlic rclations class actually has a waiting list or non-profit clients,'' said Dr. Elmes-Crahall. " Stude nts work in teams and select actual clients from the univcrsity and community who do not have the staff or money to carry out a communica tions projL'Ct on their own. ·· Working in collahoration w ith the instructor and clie nts, students take un a proje ct from creati ve cuncq,tion to a final prescntatiun to their client.

Since January, the students have hccn busy wo rking on se veral ufthe League ' s ma_jorpuhlicatiuns. The group helped the League compile the 1994 Government Directory, a reference listing of stale and local ollicials.

The question gtids we proposed to the League allow voters to analyze candidate information easily," said Jennifer Barkas, a scnior communications majur from Tunkhannock , PA . It hasn't only he cn writing that the group has hccn husy with for the League . The student group also worked on designing dehatc formats forthe 14th Legislative District State Senatorial race between Raphael Musto, Neil O ' Donnel I and Frank Trinise wski . Students ncgotiateddirectlywiththecandidatcs and helped design formats for a radio call-in dehate, a voters ' forum and a televised dehate.

We, al the Beacon , feel that this is a very important topic and we !"eel that John's piece completel y relates llUr opinion as well as his own . Here it is, what do you think'' It seems our values arc so lost in this imperkct world that weak heroes take center stage over those we really should praise. Most recently, the lead singer ror Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, has captured the hearts or millions by commilling suicide. In this crucial time, we don't need individuals like Cobain dealing a hlow such as he has to an already fragile society. He has lcrt millions or young people asking, why'! Suicide and drug ahuse arc the crimes for the weak at heart. When it comes to values, how can we say the man was a hero? Sure, some say he started a way or life with grunge for millions to follow . But all he started was a trail to death that cam e with a bullet in his hrain . He told us such a sad story in his suicide note ahout keling that his music and lik weren't genuine anymore and he'd rather die than continue faking it. Well Mr. Cobain , that's the way lil"c is. Sorry ... Our media circus gave this man a grand finale . They gave this man a week's Wllrth or newstimc , and they will probably turn him into the next Jim Morrison. For Morrison, or th e Doors, life and death were quite similar to that or Cohain 's. We need lo turn our allention to the true heroes or our day. We need lo focus on the strong individuals , who contribute positively to our society and do whatever possible to keep it strong. Where are our values focused when so-called hasehall hero Darryl Strawberry admits to abusing drugs and alcohol and on the same day a homeless man dives into a hurning car to save an elderly couple, and Strawhcrry gets the spotlight '1 Strawhe1Ty will always he long rememhered, hut the stronger of the two will soon ht.: forgollen. The everyday heroes who deserve the spotlight don't ask for the allention or complain to millions ahout how miserahle and trouhlcd their lives are. There are hundreds of thousand single parents in this country working night and day to put food on the tahle for their children . Police officers risk their lives every day to keep city streets sak and drug rree. Teachers, make hollom or the harrel salaries in inner city schools to give those children an nlucation to allow them a shot for a prosperous future . They and many others arc the strung or this country, and they arc the ones' to he called heroes . Cohain and Strawhcrry , arc _just two examples or so-called heroes who have fallen . They hoth have the millions or dollars and not a thing to show for it. People say heroes arc remembered , hut legends never die. I say lets erase these weak suhstitutcs for heroes rrnm our minds before they add to the list or losers some call legends. Let's save the title or legend rorthc parents, the educators, and the hravc who do all the small things that help this country move forward and prosper.

Time time, Li cking ticking ..... T couldn't tell you the nam e of that song m fur that matter the title, hut it is most definitely the only lin e that's heen going through my mind since we returned from Spring Break . 1can ' Lhe lieve that we have less than four weeks left of the semester. Where does the time go? Back in Fehruary , I thought May would never ge t here, time seemed to he at a standstill. (I suppose a lot of that has Lo do wi th th e fac t that th at wh itestull kepl falling out of the sky and fur some very strange reaso n that seemed to make the days l:.tst even longer.) Now that May is _just around the corner (three weeks to he exact) time is moving right along. A hit too fast if you ask me! All of a sudden the work seems to he quite overwhelming and al times I have to remind myself to hreathe. I think I have taken more exams in the last two weeks than I have all last semester. Note: last semester I had at least one every week 1 Even though the work keeps piling up and the tests are plenty I don ' t lel it get me down. At least not for very long. I plan <in gradual ing nex I semester and if I keep telling myself I can't do it , that the work is just way too much, 1 won't be ahle lo do il. On the other hand, if I keep telling myself I will make it through , I won't fail. To make sure I will make it through I use two things to moti vale me: 1. I WILL graduate in Decemher 1994 (t he only way my cousin, Michael graduate before me is because E comes before K). 2. Every night I write a note to myself and it says: I can and will make it through, I will not quit. Actually I should add a third reason I use to motivate me: 3. TUITION- lcan'tallord any more semesters! I have never p1ided myself on the fact that ever since I was a lillle kid I gave up on just ahout everything very easily .. Last year when I lost my joh I got it in my head that I was going hack lo school lo get my Bachelors degree. This worried my parents quite a hit. I always talked ahout gelling my Bachelors hut I never followed up on it and now they realized that I meant husiness. Knowing n-iy past record, they were quite hesitant about my decision because they felt it was an expensive one if I wasn't going to stick with it. I agreed with them wholeheartedly. I was well aware of my record too, but I was also aware that if I didn't gel that degree I was going nowhere. I was sick and tired of working low paying jobs for institutions that went under and left me to suffer. Come December I will have that Bachelors degree that I have wanted for so many yearsnow. Iknow itmaynot be easy findingajob, nothing is ever easy, but it won't be . near as hard as it was. And now when I get that "dream _job" it will he something Lhat I wont to do and not hove to do and employers will want me because of my work, experience ;ind educatio n an d not just because I'm cheap lahor! I'm glad that I have stuck with school and have finally followed up on my dream. But most importantly, I am thankful that my parents stuck hy me, I know I haven't been easy on them . and I'm thankful for the Gina's, Jane ' s and Marsha's who e ntereJ my Ii fe when I came to Wilkes. These are people who wouldn't let me give in even ifl promised them mo ney. Education, it sure is a great thing to have' It's hard getting it but once you have it everything falls into place. 75 S.

This production had a lot or polenti;_il. Unfortunately, this pntenti;_il was only partially achieved. The m;_iin drawhack seemed tn l ie in Kevin Cost ley's direetiun of the play. His presentational style left very little room rm realism in the piece. Every time ;_i character sang or had anything important to say Costley had them turn directly toward the audience. Playing the lead role or Cervantes/Quixote is Wilkes alumni Francis Carmi! McMullen. McMullen'sperfonnance provedexactlywhy tion or this play . The show requires an oulslansding actor with a strong singing voice. McMullen was tuu inexperienced as an act\lr to conquer this role. However, his singing was impeccahlc. Victoria Moss Gallagher turned in a fine perl"ormance as Aldzona, the kitchen wench with whom Quixote finds his purpose._ Sam Troy proved his versitality as an actor by playing the surly realist Dr. Carrasco, the play's voice or reason. Troy recently played the opposi te, an ideal is tic husinessman in "Other Peop le's Money." Music Box regular Michael Gallagher practically stole the show as Quixote ' s squire Sancho. Gallagher 1s one of the area's hesl charcter actors, and he keeps gelling helter. His comic timing was the work or a genius . Cynthia Millington rared well with her sexy helly dance funny cameo as the barber. On the downside, Nicole Ross as Quixote's niece came off stage and unfocused. John Owen Kennedy, apart from being too young for the role of the padre, sang his solo "ToEachHisDulcenia" off key. He improved, however, with his rendition of "The Psalm." Given a better interpretation, this production of"Man of La Mancha" could have been an outstanding success. As it was, it became average dinner theater fare. f o •· Do l"l"l e.s t. ic V i.-o (.e. n-c e. Ce. n- - t.er & Ou-st.e-t·ft.ou.t.

B reiseth has announced a 6.2% increase in tuition, room and board -- the smallest increase in five years -- and a 9.6% increase in financial aid for the 1994-9'5 academic year. As an independent, nonsectarian, co mpre hensi ve University, Wilkes is largely dependent on the income from tuition and fees for its operating budget. "Our mission is to provide our students with an outstanding education," said Breiseth in .a letter mailed to students and their families. The tuition at Wilkes remains below the private college and university average for the nation and in the state of Pennsylvania. In fact, among the p1ivate colleges and universities in Northeastern Pennsylvania, the total tuition increases at W ilkes have been the smallest during the last six years. The Wilkes University Board of Trustees recently passed the preliminary 1994-95 budget of $34.6 million which seL5 tuition at $11,150 and room and board at $5 ,130. The Trustees have also ap- proved a 9.SlJ~, increase in the amount of financial aid available to University students. The total aid available now stands at $5.2 million, which represents lY½, or the University's 199495 budgel. The approved aid also includes as much as $130,000 in new financial aid ror eac h or the next four years which will he made available to top students. The additional money is in response to a 60% increase in the number of students competing for Trustee Scholarships. The University's top academic orize for incoming freshm e n, a Trustee Scholarship is a full, four-year paid scholarship which is awarded annually to six students. The additional aid will allow all of the students who do not receive a Trustee Scholarship to he awarded half tuition scholarships to the University.

Or, arc you sick and Li red or people complaining ahoul your smoking hahil'! The members or Lhe Campus Smoking Commillee have fonnulated a survey in which Lhe faculty and students can voice their opinions on the matter. The committee is comprised of students, faculty and administratiors. There are both smokers and non-smokers involved with the committee. So far, approximately lJ()(l surveys have been returned and they have mainly come from faculLy and on campus students. (The commuter student surveys have only recently been sent out which would explain the lack of returns.) The results of the survey will he in hy next week and they will he presented to general officers and President Breiseth. In addition to the surveys a plan of action will also be provided depending on the results. The president has the final say no matter whal the survey reveals. An unnamed source has said that the ma_iority of the returned surveys have been leaning towards a smoke free campus. What docs this mean'/ Docs iL really matter whal Lhc survey says or are they _iusl humoring us? How are they going to go ahoul converting the whole school Lo smoke free? Authorities have tried it in my high school and it worked as long as you didn't enter the bathrooms. As for The Beocon, we arc smoke free with the exception of our features editor.

The only indoor spot Lhat should allow smoking is a personal dorm mom. The dorm room is Lhc student's personal space and if someone has a problem with that students smoking they can leave. Then there is Lhe yuestion of what exactly does second hand smoke do to a person? Does anyone really know? NO! That, my friendly neighborhood reader, is precisely Lhe point. No one knows if second hand smoke is hannful or nol. Why should the non-smokers he forced Lo 1isk their health? We shouldn't have to and hopefully with Lhe help of this survey, we won't.

(Student..;,who live two or more hours away, follow this statement with: "Residence Halls close? You mean I have to drive/go home again?") Is there a reason why we are on spring break for a week, we come back for a week and three days and then we go on Easter break again for three days? By the time we get back there will he very little school left. Last year, we got back from Ch1istmas hreak at the end of January and then had a winter hreak in the middle of February. Then we had spring break in mid April and came back two weeks before finals. Why does this school insist on having hreaks so close together? Couldn't we come back from Christmas break towards the end of January, have our Winter break in the end of February or first of March and then Spring Break/Easter break together so we can still have a couple of weeks between each break? By having breaks so dose together it is hard to get motivated to do work. It makes it even harder since we had so many snow days this semester. It seems like we have hardly heen in class. Yet, it's time to start pre-registration and registration with advisors and at the Registrar for next semester. Everyone has to register except for all of the crazed students with senioriLis who are counting the days until graduation. * * * * * Getting off the subject and on to more pressing matters. For those of you who happen to be faithful Days of-Our Lives fans, this has heen a sad week. One of the few original actors left on the show has died. MacDonald Carey, who played Dr. Horton and who was also the announcer during the opening credits, passed away at the beginning of the week due to cancer. He will be deeply missed hy his family, friends, fellow actors and especially his fans.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist This week, the Chatter ran into a dose of mild writer's hlock. The other day, l asked one of my loyal readers for subject matter for this week ' s column . She suggested my usual opening lines of welcome, so without further ado ... Weko1n'e back . Hope your spring hreak was sunny, warm, and relaxing. But where do we go from here? A hevy or topics were discussed , from Harding ' s pica to North Korea's nuclear weapons. All indications, however, pointed to March Madness, or the NCAA Tournament. More than one person has stated that the tail-end or their spring hrcak consisted of four straight days of basketball. Is it just a coincidence that Wilkes had a hrcak the same week as the first two rounds of the tournament? I don't think so. With the Spring Break, I was unahle to give to you, faithful reader, my Final Four picks. That was a blessing. They were (and I emphasize were) North Carolina, Kentucky, Cincinnati (stop laughing!) and Michigan. In one sense, I'm still alive; I firmly helicvc that Michigan will make it to the title game. But hey, I've been wrong before. The tournament did provide its usual excitement. Y ct the Challcrjust wouldn't he the Chatter without taking someone to task. This week's victim is a victim hccause he t1icd (in vain) to diminish one of the greatest upsets in modern times. Dean Smith, head coach or Carolina, drop and give me ten. Instead of giving Boston College their propers for a well played game, Coach Smith focused on a hard foul committed hy Danya Ahrams, a freshman for BC. Smith said that he made his players aware that Mr. Abrams has hccn known to he a dirty player, and it was too bad that he had to ruin the game. I'll tell you what's too bad. It ' s too had that a legend or the game had to resort to whining ahout one play. Yes, it was a hard foul. But if anything, it gave Carolina the angry, emotional hoost they were looking for, a boost that Coach Smith could not provide. Carolina' s hig men , E1ic Montross and Rashe~d Wallace, are also big babies who throw their weight around under the haskct; hut when they get pushed, look to the refs for a foul call. When people look hack on this North Carolina team, they will be dumbfounded as to how Dean Smith couldn't win with all t➔ f this talent. Just like he won only one title with a threesome of Michael Jordan, James Wortl\y, and Sam Perkins . Coach O'Brien of Boston College is Lo he applauded. His reaction to Dean 's crying was, "We just had the best basketball win probably in the history of BC and we have to defend ourselves against this? Will .somebody please give these kids some credit'!"' Good idea. That's all for now. Have a good Easter hreak, enjoy the hoops and we'll chat again in two weeks. Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I thought the students of Wilkes University would be interested inthe national service opportunities created b the recent passage of the National and Community Service Trust Act of 1993. Over thirty years ago I stood with President Kennedy on the south lawn of the White House while we sent the first Peace Corps volunteers overseas. From the very beginning of that international venture, we always looked forward to the day when the idea, spirit, and logic or the Peasce Corps would he hrought home to serve American families and Amc1icancommunities. That day has now arrived with the creation or Americorps, which over the course of the next three years will challenge roughly 100,000 young people to serve. It is estimated that in the first year of the Americorps program, 20,000 men and women will receive a stipend while becoming eligible for school tuition assistance or loan forgiveness . Weare fortunate in our state to have a prototype or Amcricorps already up and running caked the Pennsylvania Service Corps. The Pennsylvania Service Corps can he contacted at 717-233-8577, and they arc currently recruiting volun teers.

However, unlike the streets of Wilkes-Ban:e, these streets have heen untouched. These avenues of learning are the exchange agreements between Sofia University, in Sofia, Bulgaria and Wilkes University. The exchange agreement between these two learning institutions is such that a student may enroll in either a semster or a full academic year of classes at their respective university as enrollment for the other university. The most impressive feature of this exchange is that housing and meals are paid for hy the host school; this expense is not that of the students. Students will he housed hy hulgarian families and recieve a small "allowance" in hulgarian cmTency. However the students must pay for his or her own travel costs to and from the host institution and hooks, etc. Don't fret yet, you don't need to speak hulgarian to take advantage of this opportunity. Wilkes students who attend Sofia University will he taught hy englishspeaking professors. Wilkes Students will he enrolled in a special program designed for this student exchange agreement. Students will study Sofia University's East European Studies Program . The East European program offers classes in history, politics, economics, sociology and various cultural fields such as literature and the arts. Also offered are courses in the hulgarian and russian languages. Dr. Dennis P. Hupchick, director of the Wilkes East European and Russian Studies Program and assistant professor of history stated, "This exchange opens the door to valuable firsthand knowledge of Bulgaria, the Balkans and Eastern Europe for undergraduates, whose only sources of information about these places are textbooks, TV and the print media. Nothing heats being immersed in the culture and day-day affairs of a foreign country and people for learning. Expe1ience is a wonderful teacher."

Lend Me a Tenor, lend them something more By TOM MACKE WITZ Special to the Beacon iS Farce is a very difficult fonn of theatre to do _justice to. TheHumoroffarceisall in the timing. In spite of the h1illiant vision or director Vince Kaporch and some good effort hy about half the cast, The Little Theatre of Wilkes-Barre production of "Lend Me a Tenor" failed to evoke satisfaction. The amusing plot concerns the tri hulations or a Clevland hased opera company. There are romantic twists and cases of mi staken identity galore as director Henry Saunders (Keith Edwards) secures the talents of tenor Tito Morolli to sing ... , ,, the lead in their current production. Tito however is a womanizer and a drunk. He is also head-honcho to his diva like wife (Cynthia Millington). · When Tito passes out from too much alcohol and drugs, Saunders thrusts his assistant Max (Frank Chadwick) on to stage to impersonate the doped up tenor. Add the confusion of two women chasing one or the "tenors" and you should have a very funny show. Unfortunately few actors in the s how understan d face well enoug h to pull it off well. The us ually amusing Keith Edwards overacts te rrihly as Sau nders and at ti mes his delivery is downrig ht annny111g. Little T heat re reg u la r Ellen O'B1ien plays Maggie, Edward's daughter who is also Max's girlfriend . O'Brien is very disappointing in the role. Her acting is forced and her delivery inaudible. Not to mention she is closer to Frank Chad wicks age than to Chadwick and could not convincingly play his daughter. Frank Chadwick as Max showed nice promise, hut unfortunately O'B1ien looking at least ten years older than Chadwick make their scenes together look almost1idiculous. King's graduate Billy Joe Herbert as Ti to Morolli brings in a very fu nn y performance and is well matc hed hy Cynthia M illingto n who ad ds j ust the right amount of selfishness to her role.

It is truly unfortunate that a show or this calihre could not have come off heller for all involved . My advice to Little Theatre is to hecarcful or the shows they choose and if they don't think they have the actors to pull it oil then choose another show.

At Wilkes there really aren't many sports teams to talk about. The baseball team was the only sp1ing sport that has seen action thus far, and that was in F101ida. The Colonels were able to go 4-4 in eight games, which is pretty impressive considering they didn't practice outdoors at all before the week began. As for the softball, tennis, and golf teams, they will just have to wait for the hig thaw. The forecast does look favorable however, so it might not he long until they can get their respective seasons underway. When the seasons do start, I think it is important that these teams get the same respect from the students as the fall and winter sports teams have so far this year. The past couple years, the attend ance at these events have been minimal at the least. However, with Colonel Boh leading the way, more and more people will want to get ou t their in the sp1ing air and root for their Colonels. *************** When we left for sp1ing break, the NCAA tournament was not even selected yet. Now we are down to the Sweet 16. If these next two rounds are as exciting as the first two, we are in for a special treat. The field that remains has a great mixture of underdogs and powerhouses, trying to pick a winner is almost impossible, Arkansas seems like everyone's favmite, hut there are many teams that are capahle of heating the Hogs, such as Michigan, Louisville, UConn, or Purdue. And hey, I warned everyone about those Oral'1gemen, so keep your eye on them as well. The hig surprises of the the tournament .so far have been Tulsa, a number 12 seed, and Maryuette making it to the round of 16. Arkansas must face Tulsa now, and remember, the Razorbacks needed overtime to heat the Hunicanes hy two back in December. Rememher there are no locks in this tourney. One thing that is certain ahout this years tournament i.s there won't he a returning champion thanks to Boston College. I must admit however, that even though I detest North Carolina, they were my pick to win it all going in. So going into the Sweet 16, J will not make any predictions, because whoever I pick will prohahly lose ju.st to make a fool of me. 24, 1994 Add A Little Credit To Your Sununer Plans • If you'd like to concentrate on just that one tough course ... • If you need credits to keep your degree on track ... • If you want to graduate early by fitting in an entire extra semester ... ...

Because her father could not care for her, Mojica was sent to live with her grandmother. As she grew older, it was difficu lt for her grandmother to handle ,her. She ran away from home after several disagreements with her grandmother. Upon her return, Mojica was placed in foster care and hecame a ward of the court. Placed in a detention center with approximately 50 other girls, she found herself in the company of drug addicts and c1iminals. After three years in the detention center, Mojica convinced her case worker that she did not belong there. She was transfeITed to a smaller home for Helena Jienez Mojica two years and was eventually allowed to return home to begin the 11th grade. The New York City School District placed Mojica in the 10th grade. She was very frustrated, but decided to continue her education. School in the city was very dangerous. Mojica had to deal with vioJenee, weapons and drugs each day. She was !"tightened and discouraged,andatage 17 decided that it just wasn't worth the effort. She was not doing well in school because of a language deficiency. When Mojica was a child, the primary language in her home was a Puerto Rican dialect of Spanish. She was placed in bilingual classes when she entered school, but could not understand her lessons or the Spanish her instructors spoke. HerEngljshproficiencywas minimal. By the time Mojica was 18 years old, she was the mother of · 11 a d.1sab·1· a son wit 1 1ty. He requires braces to walk and will eventually require surgery so that he may walk. They moved frequently, staying with relatives. Mojica moved to Wilk~sBa!Te in 1992 to get away from the city and provide a safer environment for her son. She also wanted to rest,me her education. Ente1ingAdultLiteracy Program and GED classes, co-spnnsored by the Luzerne Intennediate Unit#l8 and the Luz~rne County Human Resources Department, Mojica took and failed the GED test. She was referred to ,the SPOC II Program, sponscred by the LIU #18, the Luzerne County Human Resources De- partment, and Wilkes University, which specializes in individual instruction for students with serious deficiencies in reading and math. After seven months of tutoring, Mojica was transfe1Ted to the SPOC GED classes. On her third try, she passed the test. Mojica persuaded her boyfriend to return for his GED, and also encouraged her sister to return to classes. Mojica and her boyf1iend graduated at the Seven th Annual Adult Literacy GED Graduation Ceremony in 1993. Since graduation, they have manied and are both currently attending Luzerne County Community College. She would like to pursue a career in Child Development. The Pennsyvania Department of Education recently named Mojica as one of 10 Outstanding Adult Students.

Somehow it does not seem possible. With the cancellation or classes due to the snow it seems like we have barely gotte n anything accomplished . What is going to happen when it comes time for mid-terms and finals and we haven ' t had enough time to get anywhere let alone be tested on anything? This isn't like high school (thank God) where the school can keep us until the end of June to make up for lost time. The 1ui1ion we pay is good for a certain time period. If we increase 1he time pe1iod we increase the tuition. ( I for one am not going IO shell out anymore money than necessary!) Don't get me wrong. I love having classes cancelled. And for safety's sake it is important whe n it comes to commuters and professors who live off campus. I love to be able to sleep in and watch my soaps, hut irI really wanted to do that I would save the 15+ grand and stay home. Old Man Winter (where ever he is) is watching us and laughing.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist 'Twas the week before spring break, and all through tilt.: col!L:gt.:. this (insert your own colorful adjectivt.: ht.:rt.:) snow is imrll:ding our know!L:dgt.: . Enough poetry. On to the chatter. The campus here at Wilkes was enlightened hy tilt.: prt.:scnct.: or tilt.: Honorahle Ciencvive Blatt. senior judge, PA Commonwealth Court. This past Monday. tht.: Wilkt.:s Univnsity Faculty Women's Conference held it's second annual Women's Day Conference. Bdort.: you get the opportunity to ask why I was tht.:rt.:, I' 11 tell yuu a little about Judge Blatt. Now most or her vital statistics will he covered dscwhert.: in this week ' s Beacon. But the one which hears rcpt.:ating is that silt.: graduated rrom law school in the l lJ'.\0s. Which is absolutely amazing, especi ally when you consider tht.: dirliculty women had in being considered equal at the time. Whatever you do, however, don 't ask Genevive Blatt to sing thcsccondchorusofthc ''Woe is Mc" song. When asked if she feels women have attained equality or salary, position. etc.. the Judge (yes. capital ".I") responded, "No, they haven't. But should they?" Now hdort.: either or my rcadt.:rs gt.:t his/her shorts in a bunch, what the Judge was so eloquently saying with so few words was that tilt.: equality or opportunity is there. Her whole message centered around the cry to ''help out." regardless or sex, race. etc. (~overnmcnt is in continual need of good people. Especially those that can destroy documents, right Bill'! But I digress . The Judge was appealing to the yout.h to make a difference in the community. You never know what you can do until you try. And although it sounds like a clichc. it hears listening to ror one important reason . In a country where generations sometimes appe ar to care very little roreach other (sec also: tht.:sc kids today, or those senior citizens), for a person in her eighties to ex press conct.:rn ror the youth, and to t.:ncouragc them never to tire, hecause they are ta!L:nted and worthy t.:nough to do anything they damn wdl please in this world, is atthe very least refreshing. Judge Blatt chost.: to rocus on the college students in the room, knowing full well from her years in politics and behind the bench thal we arc the ruturc. and all someone needs is a push. Just like 111e one she received when she was first starting her career. What a wonderful woman. Real quick now: Spring Break t.:xcrcise.

On behalf of the Admissions Staff, I want to thank the students, faculty, and administration, and especially the ABM crews who si mpl y did an outstanding job in getting the campus ready under difficult circumstances. I hope everyone enjoys the spring break and, again, thank you very much. Emory P. GutTrovich, Jr. Dean of Admissions Dear Editor: A Blood Stained Sky The first day of spring is approaching us. The ice and the snow wi ll melt and we' ll rorgt.:t about tht.: hitter co ld. The sun will he warm and friendl y and it will shine upon the green trt.:t.:s , and the rtowcrs that almost st.:cm to he smiling. A certain rcding is ignited within our hearts as we fed tht.: renewal and t11c rchirth. Spring is a season rull or li fe . It's unfortunatt.: that during spring. as well as cvt.:ry otht.:r season, 500.(l!l animals arc killed every hour in the Unitt.:d Statt.:s ror their mt.:at. This is w hy March 20t h. the first day or spring. has hccn declart.:d the Cireat American Mcatout. A singk day that you arc asked not to t.:al any meat. I remember when I was a child.so innocent and unaware or all the hellish things in this world . all tht.: laughter that spring would bring. I will always ha ve those menmrics hut I ha ve rort.:vcr lost the innocence. As I grew older I hccamt.: more aware or how this world operates and questioned it. I re-evaluated my own morals and came to the conclusion that the lifest yle I had been li vi ng greatly conflicted with my beliefs. I could no longer support the exploitation and destruction of innocent lite. therefore adopting a vegetarian diet. I encourage you to educate yourself and learn ahout the advantages or a vegetarian diet. Consider the rollowi ng stat isl ic quoted in John Roh bins' hook Diet fora New America: number or people who could he adequatdy red by the grain saved if Americans reduced their intake of meat by IO percent : 60 million. On March 20th. when the sky is that hcautirul shade or blue. and that feeling orrehirth drifts ahout in the air. consider the diet that can only he hcndicial to you and to the earth. Co nsider the diet that ends the eternal mist.:ry thrust upon lhe ddcnsdcss . Consider the diet that rejoices in life, and at the end or tht.: day when the sun goes down, and the sky turns black. consider vegetarianism as a Ure commitment.

On the second day, the good Lord created man. On the third day, the good Lord created baseball. On the fourth day, the good Lord created hall parks. On the fifth day, the good Lord created baseball fans. On the sixth day, the good Lord created George Steinbrenner. On the seventh day, the good Lord c1ied. Well folks, iLs; hasehall season again, and once again I have a reason to trudge through another foot of snow. So, for this week, hefore I offer a human sac1ifice to Mother Nature, I'll try to brighten everyone's spirits hy previewing the 1994 Major League baseball season. For those of you that have heen on Neptune for the past year, first, congratulation, and second, you might have heard that the MLB has gone to a six division fonnat, with one wildcard playoff team in each league. Granted Personally, I don't care very much for the new system, although it should add some Septemher excitement for many fans. Also 1994 brings new labor tensions to hasehall, again the threat or a strike looms. Looking at the divisional races, the real treats this year should he both Eastern Divisjon races. I like the Orioles in the East, with a fairly solid pitching staff and the incredible jewel of the East, Camden Yards, to play in. (If you ever have the chance to visit Camden Yards, plea.-,e go it's simply incredihle.) The main challenge to the O's will he the Yankees, also with a solid pitching staff thanks to the addition or Terry Mulholland . Those dreaded Blue Jays will he solid contenders, hut i very much douht they'll have a chance at three in a row. In the N.C. East, the race hetween the Braves and the Phillies is simply tc, close to call. I'll give the edge in pitching to the Braves, hut the edge in hitting and team unity to the beloved Phillies. (By the way, t those who may scoff at my predictions, I did pick the Phillies to 94 last year. Se1iously.) Whoever finishes second in the East will get the wild card. I still feel Montreal is a year or two (and a pitcher or two) away from a September run. NL Central - I sort of like Houston . I hear they got a good hit closer over the winter. NL West - Giants in a cakewalk AL Central - White Sox (with #45 Jordon, in August), also, in a walk. AL West - Rangers , although look out for Pinella 's Ma1iners. In the series, I predict an eastern shutdown, Oriels and,of course, the Phillies (another I-95 se1ies, anyone'') And the winner, please ..... Phils in six . But, the again, I say that every year.

D49 THE BON•TON Congratulations to the winter sports teams �M ARCH 10, 1994 SPORTS Colonels upset in ECAC semi-fin By DAVID McCABE Sports Editor A tale of two hair's could be the Litle of Saturday's nights East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) championship semi-finals, as the Wilkes University men's haskethall teams 1993-94 season came Lo a stunning halt when the Colonels were shocked hy the Frosthurg State Bohcats hy a score of 67-62. hair, scrning 15 points in the hair alone. Seniors Chris Patackis and Jay Turman had seven and six points respectively in the opening frame. Wilkes also shot the hall well in the hair, shooting 50 percent, while holding the Bohcats to just 31 percent. But you must play all forty minutes in college haskethall, and the Colonels came out of the locker room a very cold hall cluh. Ironically, the Bohcats were the same team that ended the foothalls teams season hack in the rail or last year. The Co lonels were hoping to prove a point to the NCAA committee who snuhhed them of a invitation to the tournament despite the best record in the school's history. In the first half, the Colonels got off to a rocky start, but were able to put things back together, taking a 37-25 halftime lead into the lockeroom. Sophomore Ch1is Parker was the big gun in the first In the second half, it was the Bohcat's shooting the hall at a 50 percent clip, while the Colonels shot _just 33 percent. The hig story however was the Colonels, who are usually a very good outside shooting team, hitting just 2 of 22 from the three point arc. The Bohcats came out hot, led hy Jason Simms' 16 second half po ints , and outscored the Colonels 42-25 in the second half, enroute to the five point victory. For the Colonels, it was Parker and Patackis leading all scorers with 17 apiece, while freshman Eric Davis _just missed doubles with nine points. Freshman Tim Burlew had a steady game, pulling down 10 rebounds, to go along with his three points. Patackis also played strong on the boards with nine caIToms. Although Wilkes' season ended on a down note, this years Colonels could hold their heads up high. Not only did the Colonels have the best record in school's history , they proved to the rest of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) that they are a team to he reckoned with . Although the Colonels will say goodbye to five seniors, Turman, Patackis, John Harlan, Phil Marko, and Matt McCaffrey, they have a lot of players who saw a significant amount of playing time this season. So the Colonels will be hack in the hunt for a MAC title next season. The final numbers on the Colonels this season look like this. Parker was tops in scoring with 13 points per game, with Tunnan a close second at 12.8 a game. Davis finished al a 11.2 clip, with Patackis scoring at a 10.6 pace. Marko and Harlan both averaged seven points a game, while Nikia Tillman and Dave Maci.:do a six and 5.2 points tively. Patackis li.;d the nels in rebounding wi game, while thi.; you Davis pulled down game. Davis also team in blocki.;d sh 33. Wrestlers compete in EIWA champions Hy DAVID McCABE Sports Editor The Wilkes wrestlers traveled Lo Cornell this past weekend for the EIW A championships . The Colonels sent 10 wrestlers to the championships, but were only able to pick up seven wins. The Colonels came in 13 place and and wereahle to have one wrestler place in the tournament. Wilkes' hest showing on the day came from Barry Yan Scoten who picked up four wins for the Colonels, good for fourth place. Other wrestlers picking up wins were, Nelson Perera at 118 pounds, who finished with a 2-2 record on the day, and heavy weight Heath Fleisher, who came up short in his first match, hut was able to get a win, before falling in the second round in the losers hracket. On the season, the Colonels finished with a l 0-13 overall record, despite having key wrestlers hurt for most of the year.

Davis ' speech, which is entitled 'Job Search Strategies for the 9O's,' "is designed to give an overview of the options out there for students interested in communications and marketing degrees/' stated Dr. Jane Elmes-Crahall, adviser of!ABC, "The kids (IABC members) wanted something a little different this year. Every other year we had_iustinvited various employers to the workshops, who only recruited student<; by issuing internships and part-time jobs. Since this disappointed the students a little, we decided to restructure the program and giving the kids more options for a career in the communications and marketing fields is all we came up with." To involve the students, IABC has developed various workshops, which begin at 1:30pm. The workshops include several Wilkes alumni and others working in the Wilkes-BaITe/Scranton area, who are now involved in various aspects of advertisingand the communications fields. By sharing portions of their portfolios, talking about their own strategies to ielp focus on a career, the panelists will be ahle to help advertising and communications majors who would like to begin their joh searches.

Steve Moloski and the 19 Dwarfs come up with win Once again, this year's unusually harsh winter threw a kink in weekend plans for students. Over 450 students planned on participating in Winter Weekend activities this past weekend, but bitter cold temperatures and, uh , some system-wanning liquids convinced many to forego the competition and remain inside. The event is the biggest Student Government-sponsored activity of the spring semester. Traditionally, turn-out by stuoents is high. F1iday night was no exception. Almost all 25 teams competed in the Banner and Spi1it Contest. Most came back for their first volleyball game. However, temperatures · in· the low 20's on Saturday kept many teams away from Ralston Field to compete in events like the batspin and the amoeba. Even on Sunday, when the games were held inside the Marts Center, only about 100 students were on hand to compete. "Our team didn't come back in the afternoon on Saturday hecause we felt it was too cold to be waiting so long in between the events," said senior Joe Finn, a member of Captain Kegman. The weather did have at least one positive effect on this year's Winter Weekend. Because of all the snow on the ground, the tray race, a familiar event in the 1970's, was revived. A spinoff on the wheelbanel race, competitors used a cafeteria tray to push one of th eir team members, ·- cont'd on p. 4 · Wilkes University will host an Open House on Saturday, March 5, from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. for interested student<,; and their families.

I �MARCH 3, 1994 PAGES FORUM EDITORIAL The time to recognize all of the talented music performers came and went last Tuesday night. The 36th Grammy Awards chose their winners, and what winners they were. Istillcan't believe that "A Whole New World", the theme from Disney'sAlladin, won song of the year! A Disney song? What happened to Billy Joel or Sting? Don't get me wrong, I love the movie as much as anyone else but I don't think it heat Billy Joel' s " River of Dreams", Sting's "If I Ever Lose My Faith In You", or any of the other songs sung hy talented performers up for the award. Another outrage of the night was the illusttious Bono. The IeadsingerofU2 proceeded to say" F@ !#" the music indus try as he accepted his award in front of millions of people. Later he did make a public appology saying he was soITy for offending anyone. The only thing that bothers me about Bono and U2 is that they used to be a great hand. What happened to them? All I have to say is " F@!#" Bono! There still is hope for our favorite performers to win. There will be The People's Choice Awards. Hopefully, there won ' t be any mention of the Disney movie Alla din or the other ever popular soundtrack from the Bot~vgaurd They say the race for best band is between Aerosmith , Guns & Roses and Pearl Jam.

Sincerely, Christopher N . Breiseth President IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist You can come out now . It's safe. TI:ie games of the umpteenth Olympiad are over. But they did not go quietly into that good night. From a United States standpoint, the games were very successful. We can skate, we can whine, and our hockey team will have to wait tcir another miracle, which would require God to play goalie. And He's weak on the stick side. But at least we had our darling figure skater, the lovely Nancy Kerrigan. It seems the little snot had a moment of nastiness (no!) following the final skate last Friday. What happened was there was a slight delay in getting gold medalist Oksana Baiul to the medal sta nd . The reason ror this delay was that the people in charge were having difficulty in locating the Ukranian national anthem. 13ut hey, which one of us could? The Columbia Broadcasting System mistakenly told viewers that the reason for the wait was that the lo vely Oksana Baiul was back reapplying makeup. Nancy must have thought this as well, as she was overheard saying "Oh, come on. So she's going to get out here and cry again. What's the difference?" Now there are many theories as to why Nancy said such a thing . My favorite is that it was Tony;-_ Harding's voice and they just got Nancy to move her lips. How? The Mister Ed technique, which works for most three-year-olds : they put peanut butter on Nancy's gums. Maybe she was questioning her role in the new series of Revlon commercials with Cindy Crawford, Tonya and Nancy as "The Good, the 13ad, and the Ugly" (respectively). Or maybe her hair was pulled back a little too tight. Call this what you will, but the bottom line is that tl1is wonderful young lady with a tragic story was just a spoiled little witch who got her knee knocked (and not very well obviously) and became our only medal hope after we realized that the other American skater smokes unfiltered Camels and works on her car for fun . The real story which those goofs at CBS overlooked was Ms. Baiul , who lost both of her parents to cancer and is only sixteen years old. And her tears, Ms. Kerrigan , were because she was overwhelmed at what the Olympics sl1ould be: the never-ending practices paying off with a medal. So while Nancy skipped Saturday's closing ceremony to ride shotgun with Mickey (and get paid handsomely), there was a sixteen year-old champion from the Ukraine who represented both the dream of the Olympics and the American dream better than anyone. For me, Oksana, not some overhyped ice princess, is the true hero of these games. And a wonderful young lady as well. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. Organized Anarchy By JOSEPH RAE Columnist 111.is week I've decided to try a different format, totally random thoughts organized haphazardly in a semi-coherent fasllion . In other words, it's Wednesday morning, midnight and I have no clue for a column idea. Did anyone notice that on the first day of spring training, the temperature here in the Greater Scranton/ Wilkes-Barre/Centermoreland metropolitan area hit 60 degrees . .Just proves God is a baseball fan. I hope Michael .Jordan makes it in the major leagues. No, really. Even though, as a baseball purist I do advance the public execution for the inventor of Astroturf. I want to see .Jordan succeed. Astroturf in the back of the pick-up trick. Great idea, it's a shame to waste money on a hotel room. I see Nancy Kerrigan arrived safely at Disney World. No word yet on whether or not her teeth arrived as well . I wish to publicly thank CBS for not airing most of the Olympic events live. However, I actually did listen to Ladies figure skating live on the radio . My, my, my, how low I've sunk. Leno sent Paula Poundstone to the presidential conventions. Dave sent his mom to Norway. Memo to Jay: go home, you lost. You know, for all the complaining about the weather, this is the best time of the year for cow tipping.

By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor FAO Schwarz stopped byWilkes University for two days last week and although u1ey didn't b,ing that big floor pian o that Tom Hanks jumped around on in the movie "Big," they did come looking for students to _join their team. Wilkes alumni employees William R. Miller, '81, Shari Salsbury, '92, and Meg Fallin, '93, interviewed juniors for summer internships and graduating seniors for the company's management training program . Miller holds the title of director and general manager of the flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City. He believes FAO Schwarz is a great place to begin a person's career and with seven new stores opening there are opportunities for graduating students throughout the co untry. FAO Schwarz, the store, was founded by Frederick August Otto Schwarz (It's no wonder why he used his initials. Can you imagine trying to write that name o ut on a check?) in 1864 in Baltimore, Maryland. He later moved his operations to New York in 1870 and the store has been growrng ever srnce. With 20 branch stores nationwide and another seven on the way, FAO Schwarz provides personal shopping and also mail order with delivery anywhere in the world. With ·the customer as their top priority, FAO Schwarz has earned the distinction of the "ultimate toy store." FAO Schwarz will be coming back again later in the semster for those of you who missed them this time around. However, if you would like more infonnation before F AO Schwarz returns, contact Carol Bosack on the third floor of the Max Roth Center. Pictured above: Carol Bosack, standing.

At the beginning of the '93'94 season Haag had high expectations for her squad and what coach in her position wouldn't'! Haag was returning four starters and a number of players who saw quality minutes on the floor and had key roles in the past season. She also had a strong nucleus of freshmen recruits coming 111. However, it seemed the Lady Colonels were "jinxed" from the first few weeks of pre-season conditioning. First of all, some recruits didn ' Lpan out and some people decided against coming out for the team. Next, the second leading scorer from the ' 93-'94 season, Stacey Boyer, was lost Head Coach Karen Haag. due to a serious back injury. Then, in the middle of the season, Colleen McGarry and Kristen McNally both suffered injmies which prevented them from seeing any action for the remainder of the season. This past season was tough for the Lady Colonels and the coaching staff, especially because they had just come off of one of the best seasons ever in the history of women's baskethall al Wilkes University. Last year' s team broke several team · records, worked hard all season for their 18-8 record, the best in the history of the program, and won the ECAC championships. The change from last year's team to the Lady Colonels of this year was impressive. This year, the freshman played a major role in the coaching staff's game plan. "Some of thi)se freshmen worked very hard. They stayed late every night to work on individual things . They seemed so eager to learn all they could," said Haag. And from what I saw, while the lack of confidence of being a freshmen was present, the girls made up for it in their constant hard work. During our conversation, I asked Coach Haag about her accomplishments and ·goals this year. One thing she stressed was the growth of her young team. With an offensive system in place for only two years, "we [the coaching staft] finally saw that click when the offense was run ." Another thing Haag was impressed with was rebounding. At one point during the season, the Lady Colonels "big man" was 5' 8" Amy Kuzmic. Everyone else averaged 5'6" and under. "That was guts and hussle," Coach Haag replied about her team's amazing rebounding ability this past season. Haag believes she learned a lot about the character or her team this season. "It's easy to make things happen when everything is going well. One of the things I was most proud of was that no one pointed fingers. The players took responsibility and didn't try to blame each other or the coaching staff when things didn't go our way." Haag added that in fact, "they [the team] tiied harder to find solutions and work more. For freshmen and sophomores this impressed the hell out of me. It proved their loyalty program and each n Lastly, Coach H pleased with the atti her bench. "They p vital contributions," put it. And as I saw Lady Colo nels bench volved, vocal and sup of whoever was on the at the time. It seems like the reckoned wi th next · coaching staff is tryi to sign, the '94- '95 looking brighter. Haag has leamedo important lesson. "I the hard way that you really coun t on anyth· What we can co however, is Coach H· All-time Super 16 Wrestling team named WILKES-BARRE Ten former Wilkes University wrestling greats were honored on Saturday night by being named to the Super 16 (Years) Wrestling team dming a dinner celebrating John Reese's 500th win. The Super 16 team honors those who wrestled for the Colonels from 1978 to 1994. The Colonels had previously honored a Silver Anniversary team for those who had wrestled from 1953 to 1978. Named to the team at 118 pounds was Dennis Mejias' 88; at 126 pounds Bryan Billig' 80; Andre Miller' 87 at 134 pounds; Lenny Nelson '83 at 142 pounds; Mark Popple '83 at 150 po unds; Mike Schroat '90 at 158 pounds; Craig Rome' 88 at 167pounds; BartCook'80at 177 pounds; Rick Smith '81 at 190 pounds; and Steve Schannauer '89 at heavyweight. "The wrestlers that we honor as members of the Super 16 team represent the finest from the Division I era al Wilkes," said coach John Reese. "They were class young men then and remain so today," Reese commented . "They will always be remembered as one of the best ever to wear a Wilkes singlet." Of the ten wrestlers hon ored, Mejias, Miller and Nelson were All-Americans, while the others were all EIW A placewinners. n �MARCH 3, 1994 P AGE Wilkes names wrestling room in honor of John Reese WILKES-BARRE On the occasion marking his S!Klth win as a collegiate wreslling coach, Wilkes University has named the wrestling room at the Marts Sports and Conference Center the John G.

The matmen led only once during the meet, but it was only by 8-7 and that was not enough to hang on to the win for Reese's team. With only E1ic Strunk, John Klessinger, and senior Mike Evans, who was wrestling his final regular season meet, winning their matches the matmen had no way to stay on top. Ending their season with a record of 10-13 marked the second losing season in just 41 years for Coach Reese. The matmen will now participate in the EIW A Championship at Cornell University F1iday and Saturday. Those on the team who qualify will then go on to the NCAA Championships at the University of North Carolina on March 18 and 19. And like everything else in this world so ends the Wilkes wrestlers 1993/94 season. It was a season of losing streaks and winning streaks. Luckily , it was a season of relatively few in_jmies and a season in which Coach Reese received his 500th career win. A season in which there was little to complain about.

Never fem·: law enforcement takes over. No, we won't talk about the snow removal (or Jack t11ereot) by the city or Wilkes-BmTe on South Street. Or tJ1e ridiculous pm·king tickets. Instead, we'll have our own version of law and order. First, the order. Once again, police have been felled by the videotape. Except this time, it was their cmnera. I'm sure we've all seen the footage of t11e two men who were apprehended for oulstm1ding tickets. After their cm· was stopped, one mm1 cooperated and one did not. , While the cooperative one was stm1ding t11ere in hm1dcuffs, the other m,m was told first to get !Kl then lie flat.

Shouldn't two guys he ahlellt one suspect? Why hadn't he been restrnined'! · So law enforcement screwed up, once again. NotJ1ing new. But this gentleman was sentenced tot probation for his "assault" of tJ1is officer. So fm·, t11e policemen have received no rep1imand. And another 4uick 4uestion: why no riots this time?

This is a week! y news feature in The Beacon with articles pertinent to the adult learner and nontraditional student.. II you have any story idea~ for this reature please contact Gina M. Tagnani, News Editor, c/o The Beacon at rn-2962 Adult learners go for the gold Before Dan Jansen there was E1ic Heiden. You remember him he won five gold medals in the 1980Winter01ympic games in speed skatmg. Back 111 1980 I thought he was the greatest thing to come along since peanut butter and jelly Poi Tarts. Eric retired from speedskating but he never really gave up the Olympic limelight. You can still sec him at the Olympics on CBS as the color commentator for w h at else, speedskating. I am the type of person who can never get too muc h of the Olympics, although I must confess that I have had more than my share or the Harding/Ken-igan story. While watching the Olympics this past weekend, I came to find out that, like myself and all of our other adult learn- student in college. Yes, America's winningest Olympic speedskater is also an adult learner. This got me to wondering how many other Olympic adult learner/athletes there are out there. Norway's Johann Olav Koss, who just this week won the gold medal in the men's 500m in speed.skating, is studying to be a doctor. From America, pairs' figure skater 26- year-old Jason Dungan is a student at the University or Michigan. In 1992 a guy by the name of Paul Wylie, at the age of 27, was finishing up his senior year at Harvard and at the same time earning a silver medal in men's figure skating in the Olympics. After taking a short break Wylie will be going back to school to earn his law degree. If you are watching the Olympics take a look at the people over the age of 24 who are competing and also going to school. There seems to be at least these athletes are doing is no easy task. They're getting up early every morning to train, going to classes, and returning back to train in their respective sport. Let's not forget that somewhere in between classes, practice and competition these people are (are .you ready for this'!) studying!!! By no means is it easy, but they're doing it. Just like in all of our cases, the pressures are also there for these Olympic athletes. They have the pressures of bills, family, studies and competition. Also remember that some of these athletes do need to earn some money. They, just like us, also work through their pressures and problems. They too depend on their families and peers for support and encouragement. That's why it's so sad to see someone fall and be eliminated or drop a few places in the standings. They worked so hard for that one moment. To think of all the training these athletes put in, and then to hear some of them also go to college, is incredible. I find it hard enough just going to school and working a part time job, never mind training to go to the Olympics or anything else for that matter. My point here is that if you put your mind to it nothing is too hard. We may not have the same pressures that the traditional student<; have, but we do have pressures and most or the time they are far from few and not always easy. Look at the E1ic Heidens, Jason Dungens and Paul Wylies of the world. They may be just the thing that you need. Imagine, E1ic Heiden a college student. Studying to be a doctor at the age of 35. When most doctors are reti1ing will just be starting out. In 1980 he was older than me and now we are in the same situation doing the same thing. If he can do it, I can do it too.

Also, there is the question of what does r Nature have in store for us in the future? When it comes to snow and the decision of what to do classes, I think it is obvious when every other school in area is cancelling that we here at Wilkes, should cancel This past Friday (Feb. 11) was ridiculous. While all of the es re inf :z Ka of M at 83 PAGES FORUM tions. 978, the • ~•nee 1>0 sl 17, 1994 ls in the area had cancelled school before 7 a.m., Wilkes no action at all.

(Even 98.5 KRZjumped and said that Wilkes was cancelled in the morning with all of the rest of the schools.) Most of the roads in and around Wilkes-Barre were not cleared and meanwhile the snow continued to fall. Even acompressed schedule, which is what Wilkes opted for, s were not better, but worse, by 10 a.m. Although I do realize that we need to fullfill a certain t of hours for our students in class, I don't feel making dents and professors risk their lives to get to class is the todo it. Wilkes did finally agree to dose down at l :45 p.m. ver, what about the commuters that left early for class to the weatheronly to anive at the school and find out that was planning on closing?

The Wilkes University men ' s basketball has swept the season series with Scranton for the first time in a long time. Hearty congratulations go out to Coach Rickrode and the rest of the team. They have brought back much of the athletic pride that Wilkes had lost over the years. I have had the pleasure of broadcasting both the men's and women's team this year. Along with my tag team partner Michael Noone, I was amazed and entertained by the quality of basketball that has been played this year. The amazing thing is the youth of these teams. The ladies will only lose one senior,and the young team played superbly this year. The heartbreaker against Delaware Valley this past Saturday was very tough to take, but the b1ight light remains: the girls will he tough to heat next year. As for the men, well, what can you say'! If you had the pleasure of seeing the performance against Del Val, you saw the high-flying athletic talent at its maximum. If you had the pleasure of listening to the radio broadcast, you heard Mike and myself speechless - which is quite a feat for us. If all went well last night against FDU-Madison, then the Colonels are at a plateau of 20 wins, which has been rare. It all starts at the top and Coach Rickrode and Coach Haag have not only coached h1illiantly, but also recruited masterfully. Playoffs, anyone'! Speaking of sports, you fans of college basketball were hopefully shocked and appalled by the run-in between John Chaney and John Calipari after the UMass-Temple game on Sunday. After a close win, it was overheard that Calipari was complaining ahout the officiating. So Mr. Chaney took matters into his own hands by walking into Mr. Calipari's press conference and screaming at him. When Calipari tried to respond, Chaney told him to "shut up" and then said 'Tl! kill you." Next game, Chaney has promised that his players will go after the UMass players. The President of Temple University brushed off the incident, and when interviewed by ESPN, said that the network should he pleased by the incident, because it will boost the ratings for the rematch, to he carried by ESPN. Classy bunch. Now on to truly classy people. The Chatter was saddened to hear of the passing of President Breiseth's mother on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Breiseth family as they cope with this great loss. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. ~ Organized Anarchy By JOSEPH RAE Columnist Two weeks ago, 68 people died in a Sarajevo market, slaughtered as they tried to carry on with their lives. The cowards in the hills did it. And they'll do it again. Life in Bosnia will go on. And we, the West, have failed. Over 22 months have passed since Yugoslavia erupted into civil war. In that same time, we have filled the international scene with empty promises. But now, we promise to do something, anything. Air strikes, lifting the arms embargo against the Muslims, anything to stop the siege. Too little, too late. Way too late. We failed. And we will he paying the p1ice of that failure for years to come. Because if anyone believes this will stop in the Balkans, they're sorely mistaken. Every two-hit leader with is eyes on the property next door is watching. And planning. And he knows the West will do nothing. We may have won the Cold War, hut we're losing the peace. The fall of the Berlin Wall simply meant the closing of one door and the opening of another. But we have never acknowledged that fact. And probably won't, until it's too late. The world today is a rather scary place. North Korea, South Africa, the Middle East, Russia ... Bosnia could be just the beginning. I just wonder if the cowards in the hills know that. �FEBRUARY PAGE6 17, 1994 Security UPDATE-By PATTY PUERLING Editor-i11-Chief , Wilkes University cm~f"orms with Pennsylvania Act #73 and the Federal Right to Know Campus Security Acto <~ti 990.

Although people who receive surveys through the mail might find it tiresome to fill them out and return, the amount of work the organizational communications student~ put into the survey far exceeds the amount of effort to fill it out. Conducting a survey is a common way to audit specific groups of people, but it is actually a fairly complex research procedure in communications. The students chose to survey commuter students over outside topics from lo- cal corporations. The students saw parking as an escalating problem at Wilkes, especially with the campus completion plan. The class had many brainstorming sessions on the topic and decided to elaborate and refine the parking issue. Because of the data Elmes-Crahall had available to her as a member of the Recruitment and Retention Task Force, the students were aware of studies indicating that commuter students are often out of the loop, uninfo1med about campus activities and less in- volved than on-campus student~ in University activities. The class then devised questions to discover who commuters are, what their needs are and how they receive information and communication from Wilkes. The survey, which is five pages long, is actually three times shorter than it once was. Included in the survey are many opportunities for the students to offer suggestions on how to improve problems at Wilkes. Although most people feel their opinion won· t count, this survey does mat- ter a great deal. Unlike all other university-generated surveys, this one was a student-initiated project whose results, if complete and sound, will be brought to the attention of the administration. The organizational communications group is hoping for strong survey results. For those of you who received a survey, but didn't return it, additional copies can be picked up and returned to the Institutional Research Center on the third lloor of Weckesser Hall. 7 �PAGES F ElllWARY ROVING RI: PORT I: R 17, 1994 By LYNNMARIE ROSENCRANCE Features Editor Do you think Wilkes' compressed schedule and class cancelation during inclima weather is timely and effective? me 111 Cathy Kobilinski Nancy Kulikoski No, they wait too long.

Wilkes could share a tie for fourth place with a win tonight. On Thursday, February 10, the Lady Colonels played host to Marywood College and racked up their fourth straight win in a six-day span. Itseer:ied like Coach Karen Haag's young squad had matured and stepped up a notch after losing all but one of their upperclassmen leaders. Three sophomores took control and showed what they were capable of in the game against Marywood. Sophomore Michelle Shaffer led all scorers with her career-high 24 points. She also added solid play by accumulating seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Lee Ann Azarewicz also gave the Lady Colonels a solid performance, poming in 16 points, a game-high 11 rebounds, and six assists. Jamie Land hit doubles with 15 points, seven boards, two assists and three steals. But on Saturday, February 12, the Lady Colonels winning streak came to a crashing halt with a 52-51 loss to Delaware Valley at the Marts Center. The loss also hurt, but did not end any hope of a Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) playoff berth for the Lady Colonels. Going into the half, Wilkes held a five point lead over Del Val , 30-25. However, the Aggies sparked in the second half or play and went on a 13-5 run to take the lead, 38-36. With :06 left on the clock, the Wilkes Lady Colonels had one last try for a victory as Melanie Falkiewicz of Del Val missed the front end of a one and Olm one. Azarewicz got the rebound and drove the length of the court to try and score. However, Azarewicz was tied up by three Aggies as the buzzer sounded. One of the bright spots on the evening was given to the Lady Colonels by sophomore Amy Kuzmic. Kuzmic had a career high 14 points and 19 11 lHIOMlE rebounds. Also receiving double figure status was Shaffer who WlililCIE chipped in with 15 points. The Lady Colonels wrap up the season with two games on tlie road.

The students' explanations for wanting to help vary from a chance to improve "their [own] self value," to "being able to contribute to others less fortunate." Although the group has no idea of what to expect come March 12, when asked about last year's volunteer trip to Florida, senior Mike Holly found "that helpmg others was something I enjoyed and through this trip I learned a lot about myself and others.

There are ma ny differen t yuestions that arise and need to be answered when dealing with th is iss ue .. As with most controve rsia l subj ects there are a co uple of different opinions. Some viewers feel there is too m uch violence on TV and it sho uld be regulated by the tele visio n ne tworks and the government before it reaches the households. Others believe TV vi o lence should be left up to the viewer Lo detenn ine and reg ula te acco rding to the ir own personal preference. Unfortun ately their is no clear-cul way of dealing wi th this issue. (Is there ever one?). T he problem with the view that television should he reg ulated before it reac hes the households is that it takes away the viewer's freedom of choice. Many say that they should be able to watch whatever they want Lo. However, leaving viewing regulation up to individual watchers doesn't Lake into consideration today's youth. This last argument also has two sides. Some people would say that we, as a nation, must regulate and protect what our young viewers watch on TY . Others feel that the regulation or TV for young viewers should be up to the parents of the children. Finally, who is lo say that TV is violent in the first place? Why does the violence need lo he regulated? Is it because some people feel the violence on TV is affecting the violence in the world today? Is it because people are trying to hide from the reality of the violence in our society? Who is to say that TV violence has any influence over the way people (both adults and children) act? As you can see, there are many difficult decisions that need to be made regarding this issue. Whal is your opinion on this issue? Please feel free to write lo the Beacon and give us your thoughts on the subject. Letters received will be printed in the letters to the editor section. S. G.

Anyone travelling through Stark Lobby on Tuesday can testify to the long waiting lines of this computer game. When students were asked if they were turned off by the wait, the answer was almost always no. Students received two tickets each to use on the machines. After students used their tickets there was a nominal fee. Students who really enjoyed Virtual Reality seemed to have no problem dishing out the extra dollar. All of the students I spoke to had neverexpe1ienced Virtual Reality and were anxiously awaiting their tum. A few of the comments from students were: " I'm a virgin, a Virtual Reality virgin; I'm pumped; This is cool, very cool; It's wild, awesome; This is better than that thing [computer music video simulation] that they [Programming Board] brought last time; I'm really excited."

Movie Review: "Other People's Money" a hit with the crowds By TOM MACKEWICZ Features Writer Although it was a huge hit on the big screen, few people realize that "Other People's Money," a seething black comedy about greed and a small town's futile attempts to protect against it, was a long-running hit on the New York stage as well. This past weekend Showcase Theater presented its revival of the Jen-y Sterner play . In the play, Lawrence Garfinkle is a New York take-over artist who has set his sights on New England Wire and Cable, a small-town industry run by 65-year-old Andrew Jorgenson. Not wanting to be a sitting duck, Jorgy' sable secondin-command Bill Coles hires a lawyer. Attorney Kate Sullivan is an attractive girl who happens to be the <laugh terofJ orgy's long-time lover Bea. Family grievances are aired as the corporate battle is waged. Kate not only fights with Garfinkle but also locks horns with the stubborn Jorgy as well. Kate falls for Garfinkle butGarfinkle' s ideas of love are strongly tested along the way. Eddie Reynolds delivered a strong standout perfmmance as the flashy and an-ogant New York take-over artist. Reynolds nearly stole the show as he fleshed out Garfinkle' s strengths and weaknesses. He was despicable, yet likable. Dawn Korvs made Kate Sullivan a pleasing character at every turn. Korvs shone as the attractive and gutsy chainsmoking young lawyer. Her scenes with Reynolds were some of the show's best. Sam Troy, although sometimes awkward in movement, was convincing as the old Andrew Jorgenson. Troy delivered a fine speech on oldfashioned business ethics. Russel Curtis delivered a sympathetic perfo1mance as Bill Coles as he kept the audience informed of the action and the needs of the average American. Over all "Other's Peoples Money" proved to be a hit for the Showcase Theater and all involved. Organize 15 fri and your trip i FREE!

Unable to escape from his opponent within 30-seconds, Fleisher lost his match and Wilkes lost the meet 20-17. Fleisher's loss in overtime marked the third time that day that a Wilkes matman went into overtime and lost. The loss leaves the Wilkes wrestlers with a losing streak of ten in a row. Hopefully that streak ended on the night of this p1inting, at a home match against East Stroudsburg. The Colonels next home match is Wednesday, February 16, at 7 :30. at three which moved them into sudden death. Still tied at three at the end of sudden death, they were forced into a 30-second rideout. This meant that the winner of a coin toss got to choose if he wanted control or not. If the wrestler in control stayed on top he won and if the wrestler on the bottom escaped from his opponent, he won. Fleisher won the coin toss and chose to be on the bottom. The first try Fleisher was able to escape from his opponent but the officials called the men out of bounds. Once again they got into his win with a pin and both Evans and Stout had a major decision. With three straight wins, the Colonels were up 17-6 and had hopes of ending their losing streak at nine. However, F&M came back strong winning two in a row to tie the meet at 17. With the score tied, heavyweights Heath Fleisher of Wilkes and Andrew Sharader of F&M stepped up to the mat, knowing that whoever won their match won their respective team a victory.

The Colonels came into the game with a 17-2 overall record and sole possession of first place in the Freedom League with an 8-1 mark. The Monarchs are 11-8 overall and 7-3 in league play. An interesting note to last night's match-up is that the last time the Colonels lost a game was back on January 20, when the Monarchs came into the Henry Gymnasium and beat the Colonels 73-66. This time, Wilkes not only wants to avenge that earlier loss, but a Colonel win would almost lock up an MAC playoff spot with just four games to go. This past week, Wilkes won both of its contests over Lycoming College (90-64), and Drew University (8575). li1 the win over Lycoming, the Colonel defense held the Warriors to just 41 percent from the field.

It's hard to believe that another semester is here. lt seems just like yes terday I__ was shopping for Christmas gifts and now here we are buying Valentine's Day presents. I chose not to get out or the hahit or studying and took an intersession class. I heard all kinds or horror stories about intersession classes and I was somewhat nervous about taking one hut it turned out to he 4uite harmless. Learning over the break wasn't confined to the classroom. I learned it's possible to survive several feet or snow and -21 degree weather. Another lesson for me was that the next time I take my car to the garage I'll take anything that is in the car and anything that can he removed from the car off (i.e., Orioles license plate and frame, money and hubcaps.) That isn't exactly hypothetical. But, it proved to me that, ir nothing else, there is one other Oriole fan in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Well, we're growing in numher. Adult learners that is. We're looking forward to starting an Adult Learners Association this semester so that the 24 and older crowd can meet with their peers. Returning to college or even starting college for the first time is not an easy decision to make, I can most certainly attest to that. Once you've decided to return to school you've got to try hard to stay there. It is important to have your peers cheering you on and to have others in a similar ir not same situation as you to he there for you when you'reready to throw in the towel. I lucked out in that respect because last semester when I returned to school I met a girl who became a good friend. She isn't an "adultleamer"(although she understands the needs of adult learners very well). She was the one who kept me going last semester and even though she doesn't know this, when I was ready to "throw in the towel" she was 1ight there and said the right things and pulled me through. There aren't many people like her around. That's why I'm lucky. Not trying to insult anyone else, hut her kind are few and far bet ween. In fact, as far as I can see her only bad trait is her choice of baseball teams, hut that's neither here nor there. It's important to have someone who understands what you're going through. Someone who'll he there for you and that's why we want to initiate an Adult Learner Association. I know things will seem tough the next few months hut you'll make it through. If you find the classes seem to he a little difficult because it has been a while since you were in high school. I highly i·ecommend you take advantage of the Act 101 program. It's a tenific program and it helps tremendously. Youcan find the Act 101 office on the thirdfloorofConyngham Hall. If you're problem stems from that fact that it's just too much, tum to another adult learner and you'll he amazed how much the load will be lightened. Good luck this semester to all of the adult learners. -Sandy Kendig World Travel.

IDLE CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist Welcome back, faithful reader, to the chatter that doesn't stop, but just takes long breaks. As usual, sincere wi shes for a successful and enlightening semester. Cold enough for you'! So much has happened since December and most or those issues will be addrcsseu in this column. The weather has captured more than its share of air time and it continues to chill. Ir you like snow , then this winter has been fruitful; if you're into power crises, then you ' re in your glory right now . Some issues have been predktable. The I3ills lose in the Super I3owl , and a Clinton nominee resigned while accusing the world of conspiring against him. Senator I3ill I3radlcy or New Jersey, when asked why he would vote not to confirm Mr. Inman ror Secretary of Dclensc, responded that he didn't like the sound or. "Bobby Ray, where are the missi les'!" Speaking of President Clinton, he's momentarily avoided any fallout from the Whitewater "scandal." And his 90 minute pep rally last Tuesday was very impressive. I3ut make no mistake about it, he'll have quite a fight on his hands over health care. Cold enough for you'! And how 'bout them Cowboys!'! But the most interesting thing right now is the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan affair. The way I see it, Harding would have made a wonderful Secretary or Defense. Her shady past has been hashed and rehashed an<l all indications are that she is guilty. As of this writing. she is still on the Olympic Team. Forgive me ir this is outdated. but copy will hang my butt out to dry if the chatter isn't punctual. Although we can ' t convict her right now, she should not be on the Olympic Team. Could you sec Tonya and Nancy rooming together in Lilehammer'! Memo lO Nancy: sleep with one eye open. I'm saddened to report the departure of one of my original staff. As you know, my tenure as News Editor was brief, but it was brightened by having Allyson Hannigan as a writer. Ally has left school ti.If personal reasons and all who know her will miss her terribly . More than once I can remember Ally rescuing me with a story that I assigned late. To Allyson: Communications misses you, the Chatter misses you, and we all hope to see you again. Cold enough for you'! How 'bout them Cowboys!'! And go Wilkes, beat Scranton. That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. To the Editor: I mn the Vice-President of Student Government and :un chairperson of the recently redesigned Oun pus F<x>ll Committee.

Kei Takahashi is one or those new faces that is now becoming familiar here on cam pus. Kie is a graduate student from Japan who is wo rking towards he r Master's Degree in Education . I first met Kei in March or 1992 when she visited Wilkes with a group of students from Tamagawa University of Tokyo. They had come for a two week program to observe the American educational system . During her stay, Kei was impressed with the beauty and the histo ry of many of the buildings here a t Wilkes , and also with the friendliness of both the faculty and the stude nts. At that time, Kei was a junior :.tTamagwa University and had no definite plans concerning her graduate studies, except that she knew she wanted to study in the United States after graduation. Her decision to attend Wilkes University was prompted in part by Dr. Brieseth's suggestion when he visited Tamagawa University last January. Kci graduated from T amagawa University last M arc h with a B .A. in Education. Her goal is to obtain a Master's Degree in Education here at Wilkes and to return to Japan to become a guidance counselor. This past summer I had the opportunity to stay in Japan for six weeks with Yoshiko Shoji of Kawasaki City, Japan, who is also attending Wilkes. One of the high points of my stay in Japan was my visit to the campus of Tarnagawa University. Yoshiko and I atTived there by train and were greeted at the station by Kei and a J Adult Learner News group of stude nts fro m Tamagawa Unive rsity. Kei and the other students gave Yoshiko and me a tour of Tamagawa's campus. I was impressed with the beauty and the size of the campus. Like Wilkes, Tamagawa is a private university, however it is more than that. Tamagawa's educational institution begins at the kindergarten level. On the campus there are the kindergarten and elementary school, the middle sc hool, and the high school, along with the university. Many students begin and This is a weekly news fe;1Lurc inThe Be;1con with articles pertinent lo the a<lull learner anti nontraditional student.. If youhave an ystory i<le;L~ for this fo11ure ple;L~ewntact Gina M. Tagnani, News Editor, do The Beaconal 831-2962 The semester is finally over Hard to believe, but the e nd of the semester is upon us already . For those adults who returned to school a while back, it is another semester closer to graduation and for those adults who just completed their first semester back to school, the hardest is behind them With every day that passes you question many times if you are doing the right thing, and if going back to school is re ally worth all the sacrifices you made. or course you realize that the answer is a great big resounding yes ! For whe n it comes to bettering both yourself and your family no sacrifice can be too big or too small. Though there may be some adults leaving Wilkes University at the end of the se mester ( hopefully becaw;e the y are graduating), even more will appear on campus next semester. As reported early in the semester, statistics show that thenumberofadultlearnersis growing. This semester alone 'there were 506 undergraduate adult learners. No longer will you sit in a classroom and feel like the "granny" of the class. It seems like now that now the re is a good chance that the person sitting ne xt to you graduated from high school with you. Congratulations to all of you adult students who made it through the semester j uggling school and family or school and _job or whatever your particular situation may be. You made it through almost three and a half months of long lectures , lots of notetaking and endless hours of studying. Give yourselves a pat on the back, How many times have you been sitting in class and thinking to yourself that you could be at home watching ESPN's Sports Center or for the soap fans , "Days of Our Lives ·~ How easy it would have been to call it quits, but you prevailed, stuck with it and made it through the semester. After you finish your final your teacher isn't going to give any special award. However, your family and friends will give you all the congratulations and encouragement that you will need. What it comes right down to is that you came back to s'c hool to be tter yourself so it really doesn 't matter what the 18 yearold student you 're sitting next to you thinks of you or if the teacher is wo ndering if he/she is going too fast for you. More than likely, the 18 yearold is thinking, "Hey, that person is somewhat older than me and they're back in school. Cool !" And the teacher is more than likely thinking, "at least I know that one person is listening to 1ne." What does matter is that you e nd their entire educational Tamagawa. I was impressed wiih university in many ways was glad fo r the invitation tour the campus.I had a derful time in Japan. Many of my experie were no t only very enjoy but educational as well. anyone who has the op nity to visit Japan to take advantage of it. You will learn many about another people and culture, and in the pr~ will undoubtedly learn m about yourself. -Darle11eJ ______ .... .. .. ....... . _,. . . ................................... . . .................................. ..... ::CRUISE SHIP J ............ - ................... ... . ..................... ,,. ... ,. . ....... ... .._ A ...

You made it this far and you can make it all the way from here. Next semester we would like to start some type of organization for adult learners. We would like to get a place where only adult students can go and sit and study or talk with their peers about whatever is on their mind. If you wo uld like to help out in the organization of such a group or just be a part of the group contact either myself at 287-8829 or Gina Tagnani at The Beacon office. Good luck with your finals.

Thi: presense of the AIDS Quilt dming the Wilkes AIDS Awareness Week touches many. Although it touches everyone, it hits everyone in a different way. I feel that it is a great honor for the Quilt to be here at Wilkes and from the turnout lhat I have seen, I think most people would agree with me. What does the Quilt mean to you? Have you gone to see it yet? There is still time you know. For someone who hasn't been touched personally yet by lht: disease, like myself, the Quilt was moving. However, it was hard to know how to feel. It was emotional to think of the familit:s and loved ones that have been left behind. I found mysdf thinking how hard it must be for these people and I couldn't imagine it ever happening to me. Unfortunately, I know that the odds of this disease never coming within my circle of friends and loved ones are not good. It was definite! ya new expe1ience because I did not know what to expect. I had heard of the Quilt but I could not picture iL For many, including myself this will most likely be a onetime expe1ience. One person I talked to described the Quilt in a way that I bad not thought of before. She said it was like having a graveyard in our gym . In a way, that is exactly what it is. Each panel is a memorial to one or more loved ones who have died. Some of the panels were very personalized while others were simple. , The panels also brought to life the fact that their are many different people who are affected. There are panels present for men, women, children.gays, blacks, whites and all different backgrounds. For me, although they are all tragic, the panels made for the children who have died are the most upsetting. Education is the key to understanding and preventing this disease and the Quilt is the heart of that education. Until a cure is found, are only weapon against AIDS is knowledge.

I'm graduating after this semester, but didn't want to leave without a few last words. Since I've spent four and a half years finishing my four year degree, I have to he one of the last students that remembers Wilkes College. The SUB and The Bookstore (now Wilkes University. the snackbar, and the Campus Shoppe, respectively.) Despite these few changes, many things have remained untouched by the passage of time, one most prominent is that Financial Aid is still an oxymoron. A rebuke? Well, maybe. Anyway, I'll have more time to reminisce standing in employment lines, so I'll move onward *** to more important things. All of us at the Beacon would like to wish you luck on First, and of course, most important, "I did it, Mom!" Also I'd like to thank my best friend, Jim. fmals and we hope you have a happy holiday and a safe break. I hope that you're both proud.

I would like to thank Teri and Julie for all that they have I'd also like to make a special dedication to Mr. Fuller of the Art Department (the man who's done for us this semester.

NEWS �P AGE6 , D ECEMBER 2, 1993 THE BEACON "The Christmas $pirit" BY SEYMOUR BUTZ To get you all in the mood: "Tis the season lo spend money, Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la, la-la: Can I have Your Visa, Honey? fa-la-la-la-la; la-la-la-la Well, you gel the idea The shopping season is upon us, and Amanda is visiting clothing stores as much as Lorena Bobbit is collecting cutlery. Now · don't get me wrong; Seym o u r does not condemn the lesser sex's for pmg. just the excess with which women shop. Before Amanda hits any mall, she goes to U-haul to rent the proper equipment to carry her packages. And it's still not enough. But why am I complaining? Gentlemen, we may complain abotu these actions, but why should we? In this holiday season, it's better that women give thean receive, especially when they are giving to us. Rule Number l of being a man: Greed is good. When the shoe is on the other foot, and we have to do the shopping then the dilema becomes worse. Recently one fo Seymour's amigos complained that his girlfriend had l'lought him muliiple presents, while he was having difficulty finding one thing for her. In typical Seymur fashion, I asked, "So Whats' the problem?" But thsi is the holiday season, and I guess we need some kind of moral. So combining two common features we end with a i993/94 morality holiday quiz. Question: Which of the following should you tell your mate this Holiday season? A: " Amanda, when they say the economy is poor, they don't want you lo simulate il by yourself." B: "Amanda, what's this Lorena Bobbit Yule Log you bought?" C: "Amanda, I really love you. Now give me back my wallet." D: All of the above The answer is "D" , gentlemen. That's what he says. HE SAID The Staff of The Beacon wishes everyone very happy holidays and we look forward to our first issue of the Spring Semester on Feb. 2, 1994. By AMANDA HUGINKIS Seymour and I had originally planned to discuss the Bobbitt battle this week, but, in the end, we chose a subject that was a little less painful and hopefully, a lot more humorous. Scalpels aside (Sorry Seymour, you can uncross your legs.), it's that time of the year again. Yep, you guessed it. With Thanksgiving dinner still settling in your tummy, the holiday shopping season is upon us. While fighting the crowds of frenzied shoppers and battling the cars in the parking lot for that las ts pot by the door is enough to give anyone a headache, guys and gals have a more seiious problem atltand-what to get each other. No matter what, I always hear some of my friends moaning about what they ' re going to buy for their ctment flame at Christmas time. Or, even scarier, what their man might buy for them this year. · So to further the relationship between men and women, I have prepared a short list of do's and don'ts for holiday shopping for that special someone in your life. We'll cover the female side of this first, since that inevitably will be the easiest. First and foremost guys, no matter how often she says, "I don't care what you buy me" or ''I'd like anything as long as it' s from you," don't believe her. Every female knows exactly (down to the specific store where the gift should be purchased from) what she wants from her guy. Keep that in mind while shopping and listen to those subtle hints she may be dropping. Now that the pressure's on to perfonn, here's that promised list of do' s and don 'ts for youto follow. (And trust me, I've been getting bad gifts for years, so I'm a veiifiable expert on this subject.) , *Don•-~ purchase jewelr_y_ with ~ny typy of heait on it. _It was cu_te in seve'.1th grade, bu~ the 12 pieces o f heart Jewelry tram . previous beaus will last me a lifetime thanks. (Can someone please explain to m why guys insist on buying heart jewelry?) *Don't buy anything pinl *D~n't ~uy.th~ wron l s'.ze in clothing. If_i~ doubt, go with a size __ --She ll love you even 1111 is a pink. *Do be original when it comes to buying a gift for that special gal. you into something you know your girlfriend will hate. *Do shop before December 24. *And do keep your gift ideas to yourself. Why is it that a girl's best friend and her mother alway know way in advance what THE gift is going to be? Take it from me, this male habit only makes a bad gift worse. Imagine hearing about THE gift for three weeks only to find out that it is a cheap $5 bottle of imitation perfume. Now on to the ladies. Not much advice is needed here since most of us are world class shoppers, but I promised Seymour I'd pass on a few hints for his ... mom. *Don't bother with cute wrapping. Guys never notice that kind of stuff. _ *Don ' t purchase tickets to "The Nutcracker" in hopes of enlightening your guy's appreciati1 of th~ arts. Trust me, he won't appreciate it. *Do purchase anything electronic. Guys love any type of toy, especially if it's sports rela *Do buy something you can wear, just in case he doesn ' t like it. Follow the above lists and I'll guarantee you a menier Christmas. So you see, shopping for the holidays isn't as hard as it may seem at first. The important th' to remember, all joking aside, is that it really is the thought behind the gifl'"thal matters. As wi so m_any o_ther _things, what the gift is isn't really the issue here. It' s what the gift says abouty relatwnslup with each other that makes a present so special. __ So take heart (not literally please) all you starving college students, you can still give the pert· gift to that Seymour or Amanda in your life even if you are down to the last dime. Simply something nice, something unexpected to let your significant other know you appreciate the · you share together. Clean her car. Bake those cookies you ' ve always promised. Do her Imm Or do his laundry. Simply say, "I appreciate you ." Have a safe holiday season and this year, make sure your gift says what you' re feeling for special someone. And that's what she said. j :ff s rr£ s► '71Jffl /1.... V / /2 / �D ECEMBER 2, 1993 P AGE7 FEATURES e fee[ of a qui[t.

Strawberry Jam is a quintet that is comprised of John Shemo and Lee Matchett on guitars, TeITy Cummings on bass guitar, Dave Chaump on keyboard, and Ron Blight on the drums. Shemo also plays a mean hannonica. All five sing, which gives the band more versatility, so they can play a wide variety of songs. StrawbeITy Jam plays classic rock, and they play it well. They cover such great bands as The Beatles, The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Allman Brothers Band, The Band, and, of course, The Grateful Dead . They also have quite a few original songs which they usually include in their set. I've seen a lot of local bands play their original songs, and I can say that the Jam's originals are the best I've heard yet. With titles like "Rubber Room" and "Feelin' Happy" (which sounds like it was influenced by the Allman Brothers), these songs clearly define rock and roll. The guys in StrawbeITy Jam are all first rate musicians. Each member plays his instrument like they were born to play it. The "jam" in StrawbeITy Jam tells exactly what they are doing in their songs-the group jams! You could usually hear 1 number of great solos during any of their songs, which sometimes last as long as ten minutes. They also do something that I haven't heard many bands do - bass solos. Cummings usually plays a blistering bass solo on songs like "Funk #49" by the James Gang. Another instrument that is essential to Strawberry Jam's sound is the harmonica. Shemo enhances their songs with a harmonica just as John Lennon and Bob Dylan were known to do. Shemo usually plays a wild harmonica solo on "Josephine" and "Who Do You Love." Another reason why Strawberry Jam appeals to me is beacuse they cover songs I would never expect to hear. One such example is the "Sun King" medley from The Beatles last album Abbey Road. Strawberry Jam plays it beautifuuly. Shemo and Matchett even trade guitar solos dming the song,just as John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison did on the original version. Another song I never expected to hear from them is the Rolling Stones' tune "Doo Doo Doo Heartbreaker." The Jam's version sounds as if the Stones could have been playing it themselves - it is flawless . The Jam also plays great versions of Jethro Tulls "Locomotive Breath, "Badge" by Cream, and Little Feat's "Dixie Chicken." At every one of Strawberry Jam's shows, it promises to be a great time. The group puts a lot of energy into their perfonnances. If you want to hear some talented musicians play and hear some great music, go out and see StrawbeITy Jam. The group plays every Sunday night at the Cabaret in Kingston, as well as at other bars in the area the rest of the week. Their first CD "Spread the Jam" is due out in stores soon. I can't wait to hear the Jam 's new CD or see them agam. fl By L YNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE F eotures Editor Jeanne White, Ryan White's mother, travels the nation to speak about AIDS and her son.

However, besides readily identifiable guitar Garcia (he appears on acks, making this the secstraight Hornsby album which he's graced) , it' s the Dead ' s free form musical vibe which permeates much of the new album . There's also more of Hornsby's trademark piano sound than on his last album, evident from the onset. Another major difference is that Harbor Lights is Hornsby ' s first album without the Range. Hornsby drafted other musically diverse "kindred spirits" including (in addition to Garcia), Raitt, Phil Collins, Branford Marsalis, and Fishbone guitarist John Bigham. The end result, besides the pronounced jazz influence, still shows folk character which marked Hornsby' s stellar 1986 debut The Way It Is. "This is not necessa1il y my most accessible record," Hornsby states. "But I was never interested in being ' the big star' or trying to make an album of hit songs. I just go where I have to go, and hope that the people that liked us before will follow ."

Dr. Jack Meyers, Registrar at Wilkes, and previous director of Evening, Summerand Weekend programs, asked the question, "How do you measure academic knowledge of an expe1ience?" With Experiential Learning, the student cannot receive credit for the practical aspects of the experience, but rather the academic value. If all else fails, and the student petitions for credits for life experience, it would be up to the academic department where the course is taught to grant those credits by whatever method they see fit. Dr. Thomas Baldino, chairperson of Political Science, had a student a few years ago who was a public official and very involved in the political system. She wanted to receive academic credit for her experience. Baldino and the registrar decided that the best way for this student to gain the credits she wanted was to challenge individual courses by exam. According to Baldino, the registrar was very reluctant to give credit for life experience. Meyers agreed, "A student should try absolutely everything else first, and then when he hits a brick wall consider credit for life experience." Henry Steuben, the present director of Evening, Summer and Weekend programs, said that the department chairs are responsible for the process of granting credit for life expe,ience. "It becomes a difficult situation for both the student and faculty," added Steuben. The option commonly prefeITed by both faculty and registrar is the challenge exam. This process requires that the student wishing to challenge a certain course apply to the appropriate depa1tment chairperson for permission to take the exam. The chairperson will then either approve or disapprove the student's request on a judge- ment that the student has adequate background in the specific academic area. If approved, the student would be required to pay $27 per credit to the Finan• cial Management Office and take the receipt to the de· partment for proof of the non-refundable payment If not approved thestu• dent can appeal to the approp1iate academic dean. Meyers believes that it is difficult for the faculty to say ... the student knows everything I teach in class ... because what does that then say about the learning that goes on in the cl~ rooms? The students who pi:li· tion for Experiential Ll'illlling credit are usually n traditional studrnts. Meyers said, "Studen hav~ to remember wh they're here.

By MICHAEL BUTCHKO Columnist If you can believe it, 1993 is almost gone. As usual, time sprints past without us, or at least me, knowing about it. Around this time of year, everyone puts out their Year in Review or nominates their Man of the Year. Yes, it's a time for reflection. And since we have only two Beacon issues remaining for this year, now is as good a time as any to look back on the year that was. Any consistent reader of the chatter knows that the writer of this column is a huge sports fan. Although personal biases occasionally get in the way, the sporting opini_ons in this column have been on the proverbial even keel. In the world of sports this past year, many stories come to mind. On a local level, the success here at Wilkes created an overall feeling of school support, something this campus truly needs. And on a national level, many other sports stories fight for center stage. Jorda.n's retirement takes the cake, but for this fan, the defining moment in sports for 1993 came earlier in the year. On an August evening when the Mets were getting destroyed, baseball was supposed to be the only story on the spmts page. But when one of the Mets broadcasters announced a tragic death in the basketball world, this fan felt his heart in his throat. Reggie Lewis, forward and captain of the Boston Celtics, was dead of heart failure. The scientific nuances of the Lewis story are many, but they are not the issue. Yes, Reggie collapsed during the playoffs in April, and yes, doctors disagreed over whether or not he would play again. But none of those doctors can bling him back. The beauty of spo1ts is that it is semi-isolated from every other part of society. These men and women have astronomical salaries, but fans don't mind because no matter what Charles Barkley says, these players are heroes. But when death invades sport, and strikes down these seemingly invincible athlethes, it is a reality check of epic proportions. And this year death was a glutton: Chris Street, University oflowa; Drazen Petrovic, New Jersey Nets; Don Drysdale and Roy Campanella, two fo1mer Dodgers; Steve Olin and Tim Crews, two young pitchers for the Cleveland Indians; Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison of auto racing fame; and Reggie Lewis. When Drazen died earlier this summer, I heard callers to an all-sports radio station in New York City weeping for this man they barely knew. It was as if they had lost a family member, and they aired their grief.'Although this fan sympathized, I never knew what they felt until Reggie was gone. To all the above names mentioned, and to those I unintentionally neglected who passed away this year, the fans thank you for all of the memmies you have given us. You have welcomed us in to watch you perform your talent, and we are forever grateful to you for putting it on display. And we will miss your ability to blighten our days with a fadeaway jumper, a backwards victory lap, or a fastball right on the outside comer for a called strike three. But we will cherish these memories forever. That's all for now. Have a good Thanksgiving, and we'll chat again next issue.

Or in other words, what the majority deems wo1thy. If objects are to be valued based on their usefulness, then will someone please explain to me what soap grand scheme About as does. HE SAi D operas contribute to the of things. much as this column seriousness, the phenomas soap operas is a total enon known Inall mystery to me. So I turn to that pun intended) beacon (no of knowledge and wisdom, who will shine the light of her intellect onmy situation. Or I'll just settle for Amanda. If I know Amanda (and it isn't that difficult), she would respond by lashing out at men for watching sports. What do sports add to our lives, she would ask. So.ap operas provide the same oppmtunity for women as sports do for men: a release to a world which is totally unlike the real world. Sure, they do. Any comparison of athletic contests to afternoon pornography will from this point forward be stricken from the record. What the attraction is, I'm not sure. I do know that should you make the mistake of calling Amanda dming General H<JS1Jitlll, you will be chastised something fierce. The world seems to stop between 3 and 4 p.m. every day, when these ridiculous characters in this phony hospital slobber all over each other and engage in semi-incestuous relationships. In order to properly prepare for this column, I asked a friend of mine to analyze the recent life of one characters on NBC's Another World .. To wit: A certain character named Vicky was impregnated by her first husband and they had a child, although paternity tests were inconclusive as to the father of the baby. After divorcing her first husband, she began dating a police officer (detective), but then axed him for his brother, the U.S. Senator. They were manied, but it didn't last, even though he tried to force her to stay with him by kidnapping her and taking her to Switzerland after he shot her when she was up in Canada looking for the detective she used to date who was chasing this guy ... I know what you're thinking: Real plausible. Soap operas seemed to reach their zenith in the mid-1980s, and have since then taken a nosedive. Kind of like Amanda's sex life. With Dl!llas, Knots Landing, and Dynasty, soaps were among the most popular shows on television. But this was the 1980s, the period when greed was good and excess was the norm. Ridiculously far-fetched stmies of money and sex were appealing to lonely housewives who longed for the good old days when inen actually looked at them. What Amanda and other women her age who partake in soap operas must realize is that reality should be exciting and as fun as you can make it. They should not lament the lack of fun in their own lives while watching these fantasies and wishing that were them. Incidentally, I might point out that Amanda herself needs to realize that such an attractive woman as herself should be pleased with her situation, not longing to be head nurse on some ridiculous hospital soap. Take it for what it's worth, Amanda, because that's what he said. • Anarchy I Luke and Laura are back. But why? And just who is the father of Vicki's baby? Curtis Brown, who is really Curtis Reed, is finally dead. N killed him? Will Victoria Newman marry her brother? Will Holden recover from amnesia and find love with Lily'!

Everyday, thousands of females all over the world tune in to the answers to these and other earth shatte1ing questions on the This in itself is not surp1ising.

What is surprising,h is the growing number of closet males who watch soap operas, so faithfully and intently than their female counterpatts.

Prothe death and tragedy nted so many around the world , a man named Cleve Jones searched for a way to make people understand the overwhelming loss and frustration affecting him and so many of his friends. In June of 1987, Jones spray-painted his friend's name, Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of cloth approximately the size of a grave. Friends, acquaintances and strangers joined the effort by making panels of their own. Soon, thousands of people across the United States and around the world were adding names and expressing their emotions by creating hand-made mem01ials for the loved ones they had lost to AIDS. Today the Quilt continues as a powerful, visible symbol of the worldwide epidemic. It includes panels from all 50 states and 29 foreign countries.

The strange illumination of the room made him appear more a shadow than a real person. He sat at a distance from me, his hand covering his face. Still in the shadows, he asked that his identity not be revealed in this story. He hesitated at first, but then spoke freely and eagerly to an "outsider" about how AIDS has affected his life. "As of September 28, 1993, 94 have died and five or six more are expected to go at any time,'' he stated in a matter-of-fact tone. Imagine having a single disease virtually destroy the world as you know it. Over a ten year period, imagine having almost 100 people you know die. For one long-time member of this community, this is not something imaginary. It's something he has to face. AIDS is destroying life as the 60 year-old resident of the Wyoming Valley has known it. One by one, those dear to him have died. He does not have AIDS because, as he explained candidly, he has been "prima1ily asexual." For those who have died, as well as those who have lost someone to the disease, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was created. The Quilt contains over 23,000 panels, each commemorating the life of someone who has died of AIDS. Panels have been made by ftiends, family members and lovers and include a wide vaiiety of materials from favorite Tshirts to teddy bears. Each panel in the Quilt is a heartfelt message to a society struggling to comprehend AIDS, to bring AIDS out of the shadows. The Quilt began in San Francisco in 1987, as one person's protest against the AIDS epidemic. Cleve Jones spray-painted the name of his ftiend, Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of fabric approximately the size of a grave. It wasn't long before Jones' idea spawned the creation of thousands of hand-made memorials made by people for the loved ones lost to AIDS. Since then, the Quilt has become an international memorial that has taken on personal importance for many people. A 15 year-old New York girl, who lost her father to AIDS, designed a panel with a clear message for her father, "I wish he was still here with me. I think he will be happy to know that his is always on my mind." To the local resident who has lost 94 friends and loved ones to AIDS, the Quilt means some- Journey of light WILKES-BARRE- On December l, 1993 the community of Wilkes University will gather at 9:45 p.m. at the Clock Tower at the center of campus for a reflection on World AIDS Day. The gathering at the Clock Tower will reflect on AIDS through music, readings, remarks, meditations, silence and candlelight showing the journey that our world is on in light of AIDS. It is important to take some time out of our busy lives to focus in on the lives that are affected by AIDS the families and friends who have been touched. Students, faculty, administration, staff, the University Chorus with soloist Heather Petruzelli and the University Chamber Singers will lead us in the gathering. All members of the community and campus are invited to participate in this gathering. thing far more painful. How has losing so many people to AIDS affected him? "Severely. You eventually get to the point where you try to put it out of your mind," he answered. To combat the detrimental effects however, he hel:ped design two panels for the AIDS Quilt dedicated to one of his older, closest ftiends. When he heard that the Quilt was coming to Wilkes he called the NAMES Project in San Francisco and requested thatfour specific panel:, be sent as part of the display. Tw.o of the four panels are the ones he helped design. In spite of his emotional link to the Quilt, he will not be attending the display. "I just want to know they're here, that's enough." To him, the Qui! tis a painful reminder of all those he has loved and lost. He can't bring himself t(' actually go and see the panels. He can't watch the video that accompanies the Quilt. But just knowing that the ttibutes he helped create are there, commemorating one life and potentially saving another, is reason enough for him to bring the panels here. "If bringing the Quilt to Wilkes University saves one life, then it's worth it," was his final statement. Through an Interfaith Prayer Service, the community will join their prayers and thoughts together as they center on the scope of AIDS on December 5. ·The Wyoming Valley Council of Churches, the American Red Cross, the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council and St. Stephen's Church have prepared an Interfaith Prayer Service and a Candlelight Vigil Walk to Public Square to show their support and hope for the individuals affected by AIDS. The club behind the Quilt By KRISTY HALLAM Special to the Beacon The Student AIDS Awareness committee began as a result ofW orld AIDS Day which was held on campus last December. Due to the students' overwhelming response to the day, their thirst for knowledge, and their desire to increase AIDS awareness, the Student AIDS Awareness committee was born. Wilkes students recognized the incredible impact this disease has on our age group and the imp011ance of educating the community as well as ourselves. Since our beginning last January, hundreds of people have volunteered their time in countless forms.

There is something you can do to help Quilt Display Volunteers are needed at the Quilt Display as: 1) Quilt Monitors- Volunteers will stand at the corners of the panels and protect the display form any damage. Volunteers must wear white clothing and and shoes. 2) Readers-Volunteers will read the names of people who have died form AIDS for an interval of five minutes. 3) Volunteers are needed for panel check-in, NAMES Project merchandise sales, media check-in, greeting visitors and distribution of programs. Jeanne White Lecture.Volunteers are needed to greet visitors and distribute programs. Student and Community Information Expo- Student groups ( classes, clubs, etc.) are asked to develop a poster session regarding a specific issue related to HIV and/or AIDS . Many faculty are more than willing to help with this effort. Discussion Groups- Volunteers are needed to serve as peer counselors for these discussions with high school counsellors. Volunteers must attend a training session sponsored by the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council in order to serve in this capacity. Signature Squares- Individuals can prepare a 12" by 12" panel that expresses their feelings and experience with HIV and AIDS. These panels will be sewn onto the Signature Square to commemorate the display the NAMES Quilt at Wilkes University. Preparing a Panel-Anyone can assist in the preparation of a 3' by 6' panel remembering a loved one, friend or companion that has died of AIDS. Each panel will be displayed with the other 648 panels and eventually become incorporatd into the NAMES Quilt. Volunteers are vital By LANCE COSTELLO Special to the Beacon After over a year of preparation and $18,000 of donations, the Quilt will soon be arriving at Wilkes. More help is still needed for this project. So far approximately 400 to 450 people have volunteered their time. However, 200 volunteers are still needed. Many j obs are still open including volunteer support, quilt monitors, and emotional support. So, if you haven't volunteered yet, you can today by signing up at the health services or by leaving your name at the hotline number (831-4731). Diane O'Brien, coordinator of volunteers for AIDS week said, "It is an incredible honor that Wilkes is getting the Quilt and I hope that everyone takes part in this in some way. People should take advantage of it because it is so close." All donations will stay within the community, the benefactors being the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council, and the Wyoming Valley Dmg and .Alcohol Services.

He talked of the prosperity America had after World War II, how no one could stop us. Then he explained why; because the rest of the world was in ruins and desperately trying to rebuild. But now the rest of the world has caught up with us and now we have to do something to stay in the race. "We [America] cannot go back to that [being the leader], not in our lifetime," Dankosky said, "This is a time of change. We are in a global economy." Bruns, of Wilkes University, was next at bat.

He spoke of Mexico's labor unions, two in particular: those "in bed with the government which don't look out for the workers and those that are "in jail", the unions that look out for their workers and are penalized because they do. Young also stated that the unions are for better trade but not at the expense of workers, human values or the environment. Dankosky, of the Business Roundtable, explained why NAFTA was so important to both the United States as a nation, and Pennsylvania individually. He explained that NAFTA should not be thought of as liberal or conservative, or Democratic or Republican, but as an economic issue. He used a shock factor in deliveling his speech, telling the audience that whether they with Mexico's prices. He warned, "if NAFTA is passed without the side agreements, Amelica's and Canada's environmental standards might be lowered, because although Mexico has rigorous standards, their enforcement of those standards is lax." Bruns also fears thatAmerican and Canadian companies will relocate to Mexico to take advantage of the lax environmental standards.He feels that NAFTA, if it is passes, will set global environment benchmarks. However, Bruns also believes that the environment won't have much of a future if future agreements if NAFTA fails. He concluded, "I would supportNAFTA if the side agreements are enacted."

John Bauers, author of novels such as The Colony, Helene, and The Land <~fNyx, told Wilkes students who attended his lecture at Kirby Hall on Monday that they all could be writers if they follow this simple recipe. "If you want to be a writer, you've got to read!" he said. Bauers sta1ted reading at an early age because his parents encouraged reading. "Instead of getting the latest car, we had the latest edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica." Bauers' exposure to books at an early stage in life encouraged him to write. In fact, according to Vice President of Academic Affairs J. Michael Lennon, Bauers, who is a personal f1iend of Lennon's, writes very well. "You're never put off by his w1iting." Lennon says. "He gives the illusion that you' re talking over a cup of coffee. This is a very complicated and difficult technique to develop." Lennon gave students an insightful introduction of Bauers, and relayed the author's adventure in a w1iting colony in Illinois, which inspired Bauers to write his highly acclaimed novel, The Colony. However, the author's personal address was much more telling. Bauer's waimed the audience with his Southern drawl that can be traced back to his childhood in Tennesse. He then went on to dispell popular myths about writers. "Writers move about society like Typhoid Mary. They keep a low profile in order to learn," he confessed. Contradictory to public opinion, all authors who are published do not become wealthypublicfigureslikeJohn Grisham, author of The Firm. In fact, Grisham is the exception to the rule. "Most people don't know you or what you've written," Bauers said. He gave an example of a typical conversation he might have at a cocktail or literary party. "What do you do?" asks the stranger. 'Tm a writer," Bauers responds. "What is your name and what have you written?" continues the stranger. "I wrote The Colony." Bauers replies. "The Colony?" asks the stranger. "Oh, I've read about it." Bauers admits that writers are teniffied of not being read by anyone beside relatives and close friends. W1iting is much more than getting a following according to Bauers. "It is a search for truth. The trnth of one's vision. Your goal shouldn't be to finish and move to a penthouse in New York." Bauers said that there is definitely a difference between how meri and women are portrayed in fiction, which is representative of real life. "Men are much more romantic than women." he says. "In Gone with the Wind, Scarlet was always the practical one taking care of the business and the plantation. Rhett Butler was the emotional romantic." Whether romantic or reasonable, Bauers closed with a very important word of advice for Wilkes students. "As college students it is important to be perceptive to your ideas," he said. He also encouraged students to write and get published. the special relationship between the United States and She stated the the U.S., as a primary commercial exercises the greatest difference over a Mexican's daily She also stated that Mexico is the third largest com partner to the U.S. next to Canada and Japan and is p · to surpass Japan next year. She also said that per capi other country purchases more than Mexico. Per Mexico purchases $500, whereas Europe purchases $3 Japan $300. Ayruso also spoke of the 800,00 American jot. will be sustained with the $50 billion in goods and exported from Mexico. Mexico is looking at a 300% · of imp01ts into their country, equaling $742 million in and services and 250,000 Ame1ican jobs generated by their country. Ayruso quoted Mexico's president, Carlos S· · Gortari, saying,, "we'd rather export goods than peo want our people to stay in Mexico." Mexico hopes number of illegal immigrants will decrease as a result better standard of living for Mexicans with NAFfA. How will NAFT A really affect us? That is still seen. All of the above are speculations, calculation.\ expectations. I have just now heard the vote from the of Representatives; NAFTA passed in the House with favor and 200 opposed.

The Circle K Club Of Luzerne County Community College (L.C.C.C.) sponsored a tent City Sleepout in Kirby Park on Saturday night. Donations of food, personal items, and money will be used to support VISION (Volunteers In Our Streets In Our Neighborhoods), a non-profit organization seeking to provide the area homeless with a place tostay and eat, and opprtunities to better their situaton. As the fianl project of "Into The Streets", several people decided to brave the cold temperatues and snow forecast on November 6 to sleep outside. Although around 150 people did show up to support the cause, only a handful stayed all night. The students originally planned to sleep under a pavillion, but plans changed when the temperature dropped below freezing. L.C.C.C. Circle K President Joe Pavlico said, "The concrete will just suck the heat tight out of you .. .The purpose of this is to raise awareness, not make people sick." So instead, the group slept on the ground under a bandshell which was used to entertain people during the early part of the evening. Dennison Hall is also one of about twenty VISION host sites in the area, and was utilized during this week for the homeless. Before being allowed to enter a site, the people are given · breathalyzer tests and are searched for drugs. The goal of the program is to work with the people so they can find a job. In fact, if the participants are not actively looking for a job, they are not allowed to remain at the shelter. One person at the Sleepout quipped, "If you stay here, where will the homeless people sleep?" Although the point was made in jest, it does raise a valid point. Homelessness is becoming an increasing problem in world society, and because community programs like VISION exist, we know it is not only an issue in the bigger cities. Some attribute the homelss situation to abuses of the social services, but that is not always the case. Divorce is someties a factor, especially in households where income is brought in by only one member. Relatively lacking in skills, a new divorcee may find it difficult to find an employer who will hire him or her. In other cases, single mothers cannot pay their bills and support their children. As a result, they are often evicted, leaving them homeless. Circumstance is the enemy more often than not. Perhaps it is people with VISION that are needed to help end this problem.

The Colonels will open their 1993-94 season by hosting the Wilkes Duals, a five team, roundrobin event beginning at 11 :00 a.m . in the Marts Center. Along With Wilkes, the Duals will feature teams from Seton Hall, Coppin State, Carson-Newman, and Central Connecticut State. Starting his 41 season at the helm of the Colonels wrestling program, Reese enters the year just nine wins short of the magical 500 mark. He would become only the second coach in wrestling history to top 500 wins, joining the retired Dale Thomas of Oregon State who has 636 wins. To get500 wins, Reese will go with a roster that is small in numbers, but big in talent. Among those returning are 134 pounder ·John Klessinger who was 14-13 as a freshman last year; 142 pounder BatTy Van Scoten who was 15-9 last year, and 150 pounder Mike Evans, who was 22-4 and finished sixth at the EIW A championships. Also returning are John Stout at 158 pounds who was 56 in limited action; Ray Monzon who was 5-11 at 167 pounds last year; Aaron Wurster who was 10-8 wrestling at 190 pounds; and heavyweight Heath Fleisher who was 23-9 as a freshman, Wilkes Crew competes in regatta including a school record of 12 pins. Fleisher also finished six th at the EIW A championships. "The numbers we have are small, but the kids are working hard each and every day in practice and that's all I can ask of them," said Reese. "With the tough schedule we face, it is going to be important for us to stay healthy. I won't have the luxury of being able to go deep into the roster for backups." Among those alread Colonels because of injury 177 pounders, Dave Habo and George Gurd Habowski had to have surgery and will be lost for year while Gurdock is g over a shoulder injury looks to be back in the s semester.

T he race was an allday event, go ing from nine in the morning to four in the afternoon. There were 392 teams from all over the country, as well as teams from Canada, at the event. Wilkes Crew raced in two events, the Woman's Eight and the Men's Quad. For the first time in Wilkes history, the crew team entered a Woman's Eight in competition. Coxswained by Noelle Puza, the Women's Eight took on a 3.2 mile course. Before starting the course the crew had to first row 3.2 miks up river to the starting point. Once under way, the girls rowed hard on a tough course against some very stiff competition. Once the heat was over, Wilkes Crew of a yea1 , will req Wilkes crew team at OccoQuan Regatta. ially wit y membei photo courtesy Steve Rawheiser had beaten the squad from William and Mary College. In the men's race, Wilkes competed in the Quad in a very tight race. In this particular heat, the crew team was not only up against the country's best college rowers, but also the top national rowers as well. The race got very exciting when a top national team from Baltimore started to gain on Wilkes. Wilkes had a 20 second head start on the team, but the Baltimore rowers closed it to a three or four second difference, just a half mile into the race. The Colonel's detennination then took over, and for the next•two miles, Wilkes was in an all-out war. The Colonel rowers would gain enough momentum to recapture their original 20 second lead and finish the regatta in amazing spirit. This regatta was the last one for Wilkes this semester, but the Crew team is planning to attend many more regattas this year, in the Wilkes-BatTe area, as well as around the nation. This week's "Colonel of the Week" is football player Jason Smith. Smith scored three touchdowns and rushed for 116 yards on 29 carries in Saturday's game with Kin He also became Wilkes' all-time leading rusher with yards in his career. Smith also became the sc ool' s first rusher to go over 1,000 yards in a season. 00 Colonels! !! pionship ll and Stacey : ar left due Boyer, ase the season .

Patackis, who year should just be a fun season came into his own last year, with a strong group of players was third in scoring with 9.2 points and second in rebounds with 5.8 per game. Harlan averaged 7.8 points per game, 3.6 rebounds, and led the team with 24 three point field goals. From his four spot Marko tossed in 5.5 points and 4.2 rebounds a game while McCaffrey was the emotional leader of the team and averaged 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds a game in limited action. Among the underclassmen, Parker, who played in the second half of the year, averaged 7 .6 points and 2.8 rebounds a game. LaBuda, a super sub last year, averaged 5.7 points points and 2.5 rebounds a game.

"This is a great recruiting class," said Rickrode. "There is lots of talent in that group that will only get better as they mature and learn the collegiate game." Wilkes will open its 199394 season on the road at the Stony Brook (NY) Tournament this weekend. The Colonels will make their home debut on Monday, November 29, when they host MAC Commonwealth League for Messiah College. dy Colonels look to build on last season -BARRE-Comir most successful school history, the yColonels ofcoach will look to maingh standard of play blished in that winof a year ago. so,will require some ially with the loss members of last fromthe team which es and captured the College Athletic Con(EC AC) Southern Dipionship are Missie andStacey Boyer. ar left due to graduBoyer, a senior, will the season due to a .

"We need to grow as a team and overcome the loss of two key players," said the third year coach. "I'm very confident that this team will be just as exciting as last year's team." While Chinchar and Boyer are gone, the cupboard is not bare for the Lady Colonels. A lot of talent still remains in the likes of senior Colleen McGan-y, sophomores Lee Ann Azarewicz, Jamie Land, Michelle Shaffer, and Kristin McNally. McGarry, the lone senior on the squad, came back last year after sitting out one season and was tied for third on the team with 10.2 points per game. McGarry also averaged 5.2 rebounds per game. A three point threat, McGan-y was second on the team in three point field goals with 24, including a game winner against Moravian in overtime. Azarewicz, one of the most physical players in the Middle Atlantic Conference, also averaged 10.2 points per game, had 7 .2 rebounds a game and garnered a teamhigh 28 three pointers while coming off the bench. A probable staiter for the Lady Colonels, Azare.wicz' s numbers are sure to increase with more minutes. Land, a point guard, stepped in last year and handled the ball for Wilkes with the poise of three year veteran. The sophomore averaged 6.2 points and 1.6 assists for Wilkes in '92-'93. Shaffer,astarterlastyear at the two guard spot, averaged 6.0 points and 3.1 rebounds a game while McNally came off the bench and provided key minutes as a backup point guard._ Others whoreturnforthe Lady Colonels from laS t year's team include ~ammy Palmer, Amy Kuzmik a nd Sarah Vandermark. "We have a strong nucleus of players back, but it will take some time for the new players to get adjusted to the system," Haag commented. "Through the early part of preseason all the players are working extremely hard." With a solid nucleus of players returning, Haag went out and recruited a group of student/athletes who could step in and compliment the returning players. Among the newcomers for the Lady Colonels are Toni Ann Capozzollo, a 5' 10" forward from PiusXHigh School in Bangor, PA; L01ie Heft, a 5' 10" forward from NE Bradford HS in LeRaysville, p A; Katrazyna Maziarz, a 6' 2" center from Susquehanna, PA; Christy Palilonis, a 5' 10" forward from Windsor HS, Windsor, PA; Shelly Vagnarelli, a 5'5" guard from Valley View HS in Archbald, PA; and Amy Webb, a 5'4" guard from Tenant HS, Warminster, PA. In addition, several new players, already at Wilkes, will be suiting up for the 199394 season including Karen Beling and Kim Kaskel. Wilkes will open its 199394 season on the road Saturday and Sunday in the Hartwick College Tournament. The Lady Colonels will debut at home on Tuesday, November 23 against Baptist Bible College.

This win gave the Colonels their first Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship since 197 4, and the most wins ever by a Wilkes football team with nine in the 'W' column so far this season. Head Coach Joe DeMelfi couldn't be happier. "Getting a win like this, let alone winning the MAC, is just a tribute to the kids and the effort and hard work they've put into this season." The Colonels used a well-balanced offensive attack and '¼, strong defense that intercepted poor Crusader passes. The Wilkes offense was lead by senior Jason Smith who rushed for 151 yards and 16 carries, including a 74-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Smith wasn't the only back with over 100 yards, freshman Arkenne Wade caITied the ball 17 times for 102 yards and a 15-yard touchdown run. Each week it seems that someone on the defense has a huge game. This week it was Junior Ben McKeown's. McKeown picked off three passes, had two pass break-ups, and five tackles. He was also named MAC Defensive Player of the Week and was added to the Eastern College Athletics Conference (ECAC) Honor Roll for his performance. Don't think that a game like this is uncommon. All season the Colonels have been impressive, building up to what seems like the best season since the Colonels won the Lambert Trophy in 1968. The 1993 Colonels have recorded three shutouts this season, and have outscored their opponents 24159. The Colonel offense has racked up 388 yards per game, while the defense has given up just 202. The offense is led by Smith and senior Steve Endres . Smith has rushed for 888 yards on 207 carries and has scored five touchdowns, while Endres has caught 57 passes for 827 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Boo PeITy has proven that his freshman year was no fluke, passing for 2,017 yards and 17 touchdowns this season, while completing 58 percent of his passes. This season the Colonel defense is the strongest defense in the MAC. Leading the defense is senior co-captain Mike McCree . McCree has a team high 83 tackles this season, 19 being solo hits. Mark Buss is second with 63 tackles, while junior Jake Cole has a high of 14 sacks, and senior LaITy Trakes has recorded 52 tackles and seven sacks. In the secondary, Aaron Wilk has 45 tackles, while Mike Modla has 36 tackles and five picks, and Ben --continued on p. 11 �NOVEMBER PAGE2 11, 1993 Business, Soci- November 17. ety and Public Policy on Mon*DON"T FORGET* day, November 15 in the DorThe Manuscript Society is othy Dickson seeking submissions for their anDarte Center nual w1iting contest.

Baldino, chairperson of litical Science Dept., is wholey in favor of the NAFTA concept. "Although the advantages in the shor,run will be negligible," said Baldino, "it will defimitdy pay off in the long-run.' Speaking purely as a political scientist, Baldino feels that the biggest problem with NAFTA isn't the agreement itself but that President Clinton has his hands full. "If he puts all his efforts toward pushing NAFT A through than he's jepordizing his health care plan and vice-versa," said Baldino. Dr. Robert D. Seely, associate professor of Business and Economics, says that NAFTA is good for all three countlies (United States, Canada and Mexico). "It's just simply a great deal," Seely added. "It's a good deal in the short-run and a better deal in the long-run. I see nothing negative about it." According to Seely, this agreement dictates a larger total output, more income and more jobs for all the countries involved. "Almost every ~conomic studydone shows that the jobs gained weigh much heavier than those lost," said Seely.

If you have taken a full-time. look around campus late! y or even _just glanced around your classroom you may have noticed that there seems to be more and more adult learners. More and more adults are deciding to come back to college. While some adults are returning back to school after being away ti:Jf a while, others are _just starting college for the first time. Rich and Ann Marie are two oft hose many adult learners who you may have seen on campus. Both are in their early to mid-thirties, both are married (th<,iugh not to each other) and both have children. The two made the decision to enter Wilkes University Htis past fall. Rich had been attending school part-ti me to earn his Bachelor's degree . This past summer, life rook a sharp turn for him when he was laid off from his _job. After talking it over with his wife, they decided that this was the opportune time for him to go to school Ann Marie's story is a little different. She was already set to enter Wilkes a few years ago when her husband lost her _job. Ann Marie didn't let that little detour get her down. "Going back to school was something I had to do for myself," said Ann Marie. She was sick and tired of dead end _jobs and now that her kids were older and her husband was back to work she was going to enter the doors of Wilkes University as a student. It was a big step for both Rich and Ann Marie to start college. "There are a lot of sacrifices," says Ann Marie. "It was tough at first. Everyday I wanted to quit." "There was a lot of turmoil at first," added Rich, "A lot of adjustments!" Both agreed that going to college leaves time for few relationships. Also, what used to be free time and time ti.)r helping the kids study became study time for themselves. Studying can take on a whole new meaning when you have three kids at home, although Ann Marie feels that it helps her kids to see "mom" studying. Although Rich had a good feeling when he came to Wilkes and Ann Marie didn't feel intimidated, health sciences, business, and communications. Our programs will now prepare the doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other professionals who will deliver health care in the 21st century," said Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth, president of Wilkes University. The breakfast program is hosted by Wilkes Alumni Association President. John Baron., Jr. ('75) several times each year for members of the community and the Wilkes University family. Contact the Wilkes alumni office for reservations by November 16 at 831-4130.

"There are so many things I didn't know about such as the STEP [Success Through Early Preparation] Program," said Ann Marie. Aside from not being completely informed, Rich said that talking with an adult student who was already in school would have been nice. "Also, it would have been nice if I could have been able to sit in on some classes in order to prepare for the return to school." With the number of adult learners on the rise at Wilkes, 506 at Wilkes this semester, both Rich and Ann Marie feel that the faculty should be aware that some students have been away from the classroom for quite sometime, and should take that into account especially if they are teaching an introductory course. All in all, although there are sacrifices to be made, in the long run it is worth fr. As Ann Marie says," You are the only one stopping yourself. The commitment must be 100 percent." - Sandy Kendig Ed. Note: the la.1·1 names l!llhe students featured in this article were withheld upon request. Wilkes students g 'Into the Streets' By BRAD HAYS Co-Copy Editor A few Wilkes students made a sacrifice this past Sat for a good cause. The sacrifice: having to wake up 1::arly Saturday morning. The good cause: helping out at 11'! Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen located on Jackson behind King's College. Around eight Wilkes students volunteered from 9:3(~1 a.m. on Saturday at the St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Ki The students did various things such as helping to stacU dicing vegetables, stacking pies, and washing dishes. Most of the students were sophomore class officers student government representatives, including Sophomore dent Kellie Klein. St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen opened in 1985 first, the idea of a soup kitchen was not a popular one with neighbors in the area. People thought the soup kitchen would lower p values by bringing the homeless into the area. Howevi:r kitchen continued to operate, and now serves up to 3(Xl a <lay. Working at the soup kitchen teaches a great deal abo homeless. It makes people realize that homeless people are notal the stereotypical city bums, but are i.o1mal human beings are just down on their luck. Wilkes students were not the only people who were teering at the soup kitchen. Students from the Hanover Area High School Key were also there stacking food, serving food, and help' wash dishes. The soup kitchen operates throughout the semester. ff would like to volunteer, contact Mary Hession at the In Resource Office on the third floor of the ConynghamS Center, at extension 5940. s.zoa.

"There's a an:alsenseofcomuse of the size. We faculty and they together. It's very and exciting," said to recast the choral groups and include more non-majors. "I'd like to see the choral group as a larger presence on campus. I'm not sure if people know we are over here," stated Baker. "Some of the music the chorus is doing is quite poetic. And the chamber singers are doing a historical piece on Walt Whitman." Baker's interest in music started at an early age. When he was a child he played the piano and then the violin. It wasn't until high school that he sang in the choir. "[I had an] outstanding teacher. She got me excited about music and I still am," Baker said. Baker performed in the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple choir. He sang with Monte and Lauren Mussel. He also performed at Stanford. While at San Jose, Baker was a tenor soloist in the Episcopal Choir. He also sings for com- /.lOOO plus •:·:·:· munity events and is involved in a Early Music Ensemble, organized by Frank Hydash. Wilkes University's chorus will present its first concert on F1iday, November 19 at the First Presbyterian Church on South Franklin Street. Baker said that the music selections are about, "love, loss and remembrance." The following week the AIDS quilt is coming to WilkesBalTe. Baker thinks the choral concert might be a way of making people aware of upcoming events. The chorus is also making plans to be involved in a candle light vigil on Wednesday, December 1. Baker plans on staying at Wilkes for awhile. He senses "good vibes" and wants to "make things." Baker concludes, "Music is such a vital part oflife. Music is able to speak in a powerful way of human emotion." COMMENTARYES Student apathy has hit an all-time low. To some of you that might be surprising since the stands at the football games have been filled the past few weeks, but it's true. Just four graduation surveys were turned into The Beacon office, two of which were from senior members of The Beacon staff and one from my roommate. So that means approximately 496 seniors out there don't care where graduation is held. Since I know three of the people that sent in surveys, that only leaves one unidentified senior who seems to care about where graduation is. That also means that at least four of the five following statements are true. No survey from the senior class president nor from the student government president who is also a senior. No survey from the senior Commuter Council president ~r from the senior Off-campus Council president. And no survey from the IRHC president who just happens to be a senior. If these students, who represent the senior class and the school, can't even fill a survey out, then it's no wonder why graduation is going to be where the administration wants it to be. Nonetheless, the administration has not exactly been encouraging about this push to have graduation outside. On the contrary, I have been told repeatedly to "just forget it" since the answer is no. How can the answer be no when we haven't even asked the question yet? And furthe1more, could this be why some seniors didn't return a survey? I think the administration needs to take a long, hard look at "An Educated Man or Woman,"the guide to learning at this university. I'm beginning to wonder if they really do believe that an educated man or woman is one who listens to different views first then answers without a preconceived notion of what's best for student-;. Unfortunately, I may leave this university still wondering. -Lynn Krutz .aoJZtltly ..... . . . .................... !!!>:-:-:-:-:. .... ....................... ·::-· ·.. · ❖'SUMMER ,:,:,:.:,:·:·: ·:·.. •:-HOLIDAY:-:·:-:·:·:-:· :rou TIME:,:-:-:-:-:-: ORLD TRAVEL:-:-:-:•:• ..... . ,.. , ....... .. . . ............ . . . . ,. ...... ,.,,. ........

"Antigone" opened this past weekend in the CPA with the Theatre Department once again proving how much talent is really hidden over there in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center. Those of you who have suffered through a high school english class reading of the classical interpretation can rest easy. The Wilkes players are perfo1ming a new translation of this Greek tragedy. The translation is by Timberlake W erten baker and the sc1ipt (I won't scare you away with the term "poetry") is much easier to understand than more traditional translations. The director, Professor Brad Wright, has made this an audience friendly production. He has combined a mixture of interesting staging with a unique use of the house and entrances and exits to keep the audience focused on the action. The set, when first entering the theater seems batTen and empty, but this is standard for this type of show. Designed by Professor John together is junior Eiika Neubert as the technical director.

Faculty qualifications and communication skills are just two examples of the 20 required NLN criteria that the program had to pass in order to receive accreditation. "We have six doctorally prepared faculty members. Three more are working toward their doctorate. We have a lot of expertise and that is what energizes our curriculum," said Kolanowski. The NLN looks for continuous development in a nursing program. Kolanowski claims that both undergraduate and graduate programs will be undergoing several new developments. "Our students will be seeing changes that emphasize primary health care in response to new health care reform," Kolanowski said. According to Kolanowski enough data must be presented to show that the program is working before accreditation is granted. The review of six students that successfully completed the nursing graduate program was sufficient proof for Wilkes to gain NLN approval. The nursing program holds 154 full-time undergraduate students and 31 graduate students. The department will hold an open house on November 11. Faculty and nursing students will be attending. They welcome interested students to the celebration. For more information contact Dr. Ann Kolanowski at extension 4074.

This is intended to make it easier students to attend the special 5 day offer that involves can eat and drink for seven dollars from 5 p.m. to 8:30 ll the club. Woodlands is offe1ing this free shuttle service in an pt to make it safer for students to go out and have fun. lhe free shuttle service the students will no longer have about who is going to be driving and how they are to be getting home. ough this is a good idea, some people would argue already provide the students with a safe 1ide home the campus Safe Ride cards. One of the differences n the shuttle service and the Safe Ride system is that nle system is more private. nastudentuses the shuttle system Wilkes has no idea riding it, unlike the Safe Ride service. When a student aSafe Ride cai·d the school could easily find out who ther advantage to the shuttle system is that you don't drive there. The Safe Ride system does not give the ta ride to the Woodlands. It only picks them up at a bar tives them back to campus. So the student winds up their carat the bar if they decide they had too much to One of the dangers concerning this is that the student want to wait for Safe Rides and they will wind up getting · car anyway to try and make it home on their own. re are some people on campus who are upset with the lbat the Woodlands is providing the free transportation they think it will encourage students to go out and Although this may be true, getting rid of the shuttle will not discourage students from going out. It will make it more dangerous. 'sfacereality, the students are going to go out and drink they are of age or not. Shouldn't we stop won-ying the fact that they are going out and stait worrying about Ibey are getting there and back? I think the shuttle system great idea because it will save lives in the long run.

With this past Saturday's victory over Lycoming, the undefeated football team continues its wonderful season. This Saturday, Susquehanna comes to town. Unless you're unconscious or have some other grand excuse, then remember this: Ralston Field on Saturday. Election Day was this past Tuesday, and I hope all of you registered voters went to the polls. As you know, this column takes on a political flavor from time to time, and in the past few weeks the chatter has been critical of the lack of news. But this week, the issue fell like manna from heaven onto my word processor. He's your fiiend and mine, and if you think you love him, you should go to Oregon. They are the people who are responsible for putting him into office. He is Senator Bob Packwood, although some refer to him as "Lovesexy." Whatever you wish to call him (and I'm sure we could think of many creative names), he is the news. What's even more interesting are the issues at stake here. But let's not hurry things; there's some humor we must touch upon. A person in one of my classes remarked that it has become "Geraldo in the Senate." What gives you that indication? Maybe this little paraphrased passage: Senator Packwood: "I was in my office late one night with one of my assistants, and we had a bottle of wine. She came over and gave me a big kiss. (About this time, Jesse Helms [R- N.C.] staits to sweat profusely.) She says to me, 'Senator, I think you're wonderful.' And I say to her, 'Warts and all?'" This man scares me. A couple of quick questions. She remai·ked that he was wonderful? What was in that wine? Battery acid? Carpet Fresh? She had to have been severely impaired to reach that conclusion. And his response? "W ai·ts and all?" It's a wonder she didn't throw up all over him right there. I certainly would have. Of cause, I'm just not the type who would want to give Robert Packwood a big kiss. But that's not all. When this guy, warts and all, has sexual exploits, he w1ites about them in a diary which is now 8000 pages long. 8000 pages? Move over Wilt Chamberlain and Magic Johnson, here is the real deal. Wilt may say 20,000, but the good Senator has the documentation. Here lies (poor word choice) the question: should the Senator be forced to turn the diary and all of its .contents, whether they pertain to sexual harassment or not, over to the Senate Ethics Committee? And isn'. t the te1m "Senate Ethics" an oxymoron. The only thing with more crooked lawyers was The Firm by John Grisham. Although The Beacon makes it a point to never endorse anything or anyone, or to never make value judgements, let me just ask you, the reader, this: When you put it on paper, does that make it fair game? Or is it still self-incrimination and therefore protected under the Fifth Amendment? The ACLU, which drapes itself in the Bill of Rights as a cold swimmer does him or herself in a towel, is uncharacte1istically quiet on the Packwood issue. For them, and for you, dear reader, let me leave you with this: Packwood's moral character (or lack thereot) is not on trial here. It is self-inc1imination to force him to turn this diary over and his right to privacy to keep this journal, both of which should be protected. That's all for now. Warts and all, we'll chat again next week. This Week in History Compiled by The Wilkes University History Club November 4, 1703 - Savoy with Poland against Sweden.

To some of our simpler readers (read: women), it is nothing more than the 24th letter of the alphabet or the sign for an incoITect answer on the Family Feud. But to those in attendance at the Seymour Butz School of History, it is the beginning of a historical period in each one of our lives. Instead of B.C. or B.C.E. as the newer school of thought proclaims, we at the Butz School have defined time periods as B.X. and A.X., or Before "the Ex" and After "the Ex." I can . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , hear the fair Amanda, in that ditsy, airheaded voice, asking me, "What do you ' ex. '')'' mean by the Amanda should know. For when the discussion turns to men, she will be the first to remind you of the dashing Air Force pilot that she dated for two days, and how wonderful he was. Yes, ladies and gents, the discussion for this week focuses on ex-boyfriends and girlfriends, and how each of the sexes deals with this. As usual, the double standard is in effect. It is o.k. for Amanda to bring up her dashing ex' s, but should Seymour or any other male mention that blond bombshell who chaimed the pants off of him (MINDS OUT OF THE GUTTER), Amanda will cop an attitude worse than the one she already has. To utilize one of my favorite mediums, a b1ief quiz. Q) You have just shared a very intimate moment with Amanda (Congratulations! ). The event which transpires next is: a) Amanda says, "You know, you' re not as good as the last ten boyfiiends I've had." b) You say, ""You know, you're not as good as the last ten girlfriends I've had." c) Amanda says, "You are the quintessential man, and I will worship you forever." Answers a) and b) convey the problem which we are attempting to tackle. And answer c) is logically impossible because that describes me, and I was not in the room at the time. It seems that both men and women play the game of mentioning the "ex" at the worst possible time. It also appears that we play it in order to infuriate the other sex. It is indeed an easy target to hit; who doesn't get the feeling of sitting on greasy ferrets when our significant other cites the achievements of his/her past loves? So what do we do? We respond in the only way we know how: we play the same exact game, and the winner is the one with the least wounds who may or may not be standing. So the next time Amanda or some other little pastry dish begins to rattle off how great all the past ones were, tell her, "Here's a quaiter. Call someone who gives a damn." And tell her that's what he said. Comparisons. It seems that we all want what we don't have (or in some what we had and got 1id of). The Jones family has a new car. Or your golf got a promotion and a raise. The family down the street has more money,a house, a nicer dog. The list goes on and on ... One place where all of this compa1ing really has no place is in "X" c sations. As in ex-girlfriends or ex-boyfriends. No matter what boys and girls, never, ever compare your cu1Tent t1· dead ember. It's sure to extinguish the fire with your new flame and leave burned up. (I was getting sick of alliteration so I figured I'd try a new · device.) Just to clarify the point for the men in our audience who might not un such poetic language (or any language that has more than two syllables in iti the fair Amanda is trying to say is this: "Keep your mouth shut about the ex the new girl." Always concerned with furtheiing the relationship between men and I've compiled a short list of things that never be said about ex' s by either H What HE should "I didn't realize important for me to my ex was so, uh, endowed. I never her to be a Playboy ~ ~ - Playmate. she looks better now than when I went out with her." Right then and chances of going anywhere, let alone home, with your current gal are good as Seymour successfully seducing Stephanie Seymour. "You remind me of my ex-girlfriend." A sure way to end a date "Buffy (ex-girlfriends always have names like that) never cooked like that." C1iticizing a women's cooking at any time is just plain foo · Hopefully, the above lists will be helpful when handling the ex. (St! that's a figure of speech. You are not to lay a hand on your ex.) The Gold of the ex' s, however, is one that both sexes must follow carefully. What Golden Rule of the ex' s? It's simple. Never call your new beau by your ex' If you can do that, you have a chance of surviving this. If you fail, it's back Butz School of History for you. So what she says for this week, is that when it comes to ex's, it's be unsaid. ... ~SENIORS ... WHERE DO YOU WANT GRADUATI • : I campus las rthe underp were tra; mours, lo ing. Cc What SHE should never say: "My old boyfriend liked to shop." You're lying. No self-respec · will ever admit to enjoying shopping. "At least Bill had some hair on his head." A blow to any comment is sure to end any and all chances of a diamond, ever. "My old boyfriend was a 200 pound weightlifter." Hey Seymour are you running to? "I've seen bigger."

Many of the REACH volunteers were prior recipients of REACH aid. Stan Hamilton, part-time REACH director, said · that ,"Most of the families who come in for need end up as volunteers helping others as needy as they once were." Staff member Julie Krafchik started as a volunteer for REACH in 1984. She attended Penn State Univer- job at REACH and graduate school. Her studies are in psychology, with an interest in child psychology. She knew several kids at the Halloween party. "Sometimes kids involved with REACH bring a friend. We get in touch with the new family and often supply food , clothing, sometimes furniture, and if possible, work." Krafchik is surprised at the number of people that are needy. "You think that this is such a small town, that there couldn't be as many problems as there are. It's surprising." More shocking than surprising are the dire situations of several who attended Fiiday's party. It was surely a party, a celebration, but sometimes having a good time involves much more than pizza and soda. Two women and their families who attended were homeless, jobless, and without necessary medical attention. One woman, who wanted to remain anonymous, attended the party with her five monthold infant and four-year-old daughter. She told me about her battle with homelessness. "I was receiving Section 8 assistance [government funding for housing] . My fourc..yearold daughter got lead poisoning from the house so we had to get anew apartment. Wilkes-BatTe Housing moved us around but no one wanted to test for lead. I needed a lead-free house. I couldn't get an apartment. All this caused problems with my husband and we separated. Now we have no home. I've thought of everything. Even suicide, for all of us. I've had a lot of bad luck. Justa lot of bad luck." The REACH organization sponsors a monthly event. This month it is featuring "Into the Streets". REACH helps mostly underprivileged families, including many of AfricanAmerican descent. Many are from housing projects. Some are homeless. Commuter Council gave a generous donation and recruited many volunteers for this event. REACH is always in need of volunteers for events. Amy Mazur is the liaison between Wilkes and REACH. She recruited many volunteers <luting club day but is always searching for more. Please volunteer and help your school community even if it may not be your hometown . Dial Wilkes Extension 5904. By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor Abba Eban, former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, recently spoke at the Matrz center. Ambassador Eban' s speech was eloquent, interesting, and laced with lrnmor. Eban spoke of Israel-the country, the people, and the spirit. Eban also spoke of the recent peace accord between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). He talked about the history and the struggles, as well as the achievements, between the two entities. Relations between Israel and the f01mer Soviet Union, Egypt, Sytia, China and Iraq were discussed.

The win was Wilkes' first ,--,ver Lycoming since 197 4, the last time that the Colonels won the MAC title. The W an"iors were able to score first in this contest. After a Wilkes fumble, the WaITiors would take the ball 11 yards in two plays for a 7-0 lead.

The Colonels would get their first points of the game when kicker Joel O'Donnell booted a 21 yard field goal with no time on the clock in the first half, making it 7-3 in favor of Lycoming at halftime. Each team would trade possessions in the second half until the Colonels took over at their own 19 with 8:06 left in the final quarter. The Colonels then drove 81 yards and scored when quarterback Boo Perry hit Mike Gundersdorf with a 15 yard touchdown pass with just over two minutes remaining. The PAT failed, giving the Colonels a 9-7 lead. Lycoming would get the ball back, but any chance for a comeback was snubbed when Mark Buss picked off a Warrior pass to seal the Colonel victory.

When 13 students from Wilkes University volunteered to help with the Feed-A-Friend Project this past Saturday, most had no idea that they would end up having a McDonald's lunch with a U.S. senator. But that's just what happened when Senator Hanis Wofford stopped by the Feed-A-Fiiend headquarters on South Main Street. Wilkes students teamed up with area children from the John McGlynn Learning Center to pack grocery bags for needy families in the area. Wofford dropped by the CEO on Saturday to help students prepare the food bags. He stayed to talk about the importance of service, eventuallyjoining the group of students sitting on the floor for a donated lunch from McDonald's. "What we need is a multiplication of what we did today and that's what I've been working on the last 25 years which ilkes-Barre recently came to pass in the fonn of the National Service Trust Act," said Wofford. The act proposes to help students who volunteer for a year with college tuition costs. Studen ts who participate are awarded a stipend as well as a cash award for college tuition at the end of their year of service. Chad A. Lojewski, Wilkes Student Government president, presented Wofford with a sweatshirt, which Wofford promptly put on. �OCTOBER PAGE2 28, 1993 the Pa. Quilters Association will be on hand to assist.

With Wilkes providing administrative leadership and expertise to this public project, the main question is how will Earth Conservancy affect students at Wilkes? Will it drain Wilkes resources or generate opportunities for field research? Phil Marko, a senior Biology major at Wilkes feels that the project is likely to have a positive effect on the University and the students. "Some teachers will bring their experience with the project into their classes," said Marko. One class that Marko had last year took a tiip to the outskirts of the land. "The project gives the students a chance to see and work with environmental clean-up technolog:v,'' Marko added. But future opportunities for students must wait. Until the judge makes a decision regarding the sale of the Blue Coal Land to the Earth Conservancy, Wilkes faculty, administrators and students can only speculate. The judge is expected to make a preliminary ruling on Monday, October 25.

"There's a coziness and a real sense of community because of the size. We have a good faculty and they work well together. It's very difficult and exciting," said Baker during a recent interview. While here, Baker would like to recast the choral groups and include more nonmajors. "I'd like to see the choral group as a larger presence on campus. I'm not sure if people know we are over here," stated Baker. "Some of the music the chorus is doing is quite poetic.

Baker's interest in music started at an early age. When he was a child he played the piano and then the violin. It wasn't until high school that he sang in the choir. "[I had an] outstanding teacher. She got me excited about music and I still am," Baker said. Baker performed in the Philadelphia Orchestra and Temple choir. He sang with Monte and Lauren Mussel. He also performed at Stanford. While at San Jose, Baker was a tenor solois t in the Episcopal Choir. He also sings for community events and is involved in an·Early Music Ensemble, organized by Frank Hydash. The following week the AIDS quilt is coming to Wilkes-Barre. Baker thinks the choral concert might be a way of making people aware of upcoming events. Baker concluded "Music is such a vital part of life. Music is able to speak in a powerful wa of human emotion."

Marts Center will be set aside for local community members to add panels. They will be asked to present the panels at a dedication ceremony where they will officially be added to the 23,000 panels that makeup the entire AIDS Quilt. TheQuilt began in San Francisco in 1987 as one person's protest to the AIDS epidemic. Cleve Jones spray painted the name of his fiiend,Marvin Feldman, onto a piece of fabric approximately the size of a grave. It wasn't long before Jones' idea spawned the creation of thousands of hand-made memorials. The Quilt is now an international memorial that has taken on personal importance to many people. To a 15year-old girl from New York who mad a panel ior her father who died of AIDS it means, "I wish he was still here wit me. I think he will be happy to know h is always on my mind." Iii hememorialpanelsthatmake up the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt were made by all sorts of people, in all kinds of colors, fabrics, and styles. You do not have to be a professional artist to create a moving personal tribute It doesn't matter if you use paint or fine needle work; any remembrance is appropriate.

Certainly "Beavis andButthead" werenotthehardestofnews stories, but it did draw some reaction. Although most people agreed, one person remarked that he wasn't certain what redeeming value "Beavis and Butthead" had. If redeeming value is a requisite for keeping something on the air then three-fourths of television is gone. And "Baywatch" goes first. Be that as it may, let's talk about the recently completed Fall Classic, the World Series. First things first; my prediction could not have been further from the truth,unless I picked my Mets to win it all. However, I guess that's to be expected. If you've been reading my column on a regular basis (bless your heart), then you know of my sincere dislike for the Phillies. This is not something new. I've despised them even when they were the worst team on this earth so I've had my practice. I know a great deal of Phillies fans. Some are genuine fans, who follow their team through all 162 games and could name the backup catcher in less than 10 seconds. They're fine. There are the casual fans, who, even in the worst of years, know how the Phi ls are doing. Granted, they don't.know the backup catcher, but they are loyal. Winning, however, breeds the worst type of fan. In the Phils case, this fan wouldn't know Mitch Williams from Cindy Williams (see Laverne and Shirley) or Ben Rivera from Geraldo Rivera. As the bandwagon leaves the station, these people hop aboard. Why does this bother me, you ask? One of my good friends is the first type of fan (Yes Seymour, women can appreciate a sacrifice bunt as much as anyone) and she gave me more than my share of needling about the Mets abominable season, which I took in stride. She had every right, her Phils were on top. When they beat the Braves, her enthusiasm was amazing. And although I wasn't with her when Joe Carter hit his homer to win game six, I can only imagine her feelings. The point is that some half-baked Phillies fan would not have been as upset, because he or she REALLY didn't care. But had the Phillies won, these same people would count themselves as true fans . ,Only true Phils fans would be able to know the exultation of a championship and these were the same ,people who knew devastation on Saturday night. To you so called fans, I am not upset that the Blue Jays won. But to you Fanatics, keep your chins up, enjoy the wonderful season you just had, and remember spring training is but five months away. That's all for: now. We'll chat again next week. ....._______'_L_, e_t_ t,e~r_t_o _th _ e_-_E_d_it___.or :,__ _ l To the Editor: I am the .chairperson of the recentlyredesignedCampusFoodCommittee.

Secondly, the survey which she claimed should be drafted and distributed, had already occurred. How do you think we cmne to the decision of offering the sundae bar at dinner and chicken patties more frequently at lunch?

For many years tl1is "Food Committee" sat donnant, introducing nothing new as I'dseeninthepa,;tfewyears. Yetnow, when progress is being made, the committee is criticized for "lack of communication between committee ,md student,;." We are working very closely with Morrison's 1mmager Denny Drezek and Vice-President of Business Affairs Paul O'Hop to insure the best possible food variety and service is made available for the student,; ... If anyone ha,; a question, concern, or complaint they c,m contact ... [me] ,md we will address it as a committee. This year the Campus Food Committee is very enthusiastic and student-orientated, we know that communication is the key to success, but also that communication is a two-way street. This committee wants desperately to give the students what they want, but we need constructive criticism to totally accomplish that goal. "The food sucks" does not help anyone in making improvements. It acts only as a counteractive mech,mism defeating the pmpose of comment, rather than helping us attain that goal . Sincerely, Andrew F. Mazzeo �O CTOBER P AGE6 28, 1993 "The Oedipus Complex" By SEYMOUR BUTZ ANDA JH;GINKIS In Sophocles' Oedipus Rex, an unknowing lad has an incestuous relationship with his mother. Although considered "normal" in Oklahoma and other places where bloodlines run so closely together, this practice is generally given a thumbs down. Sigmund Freud went even further and suggested that everyone of us at some point desires the opposite sex parent and considers the same sex parent a threat. I think I speak for most of the public when I say "Get the (expletive) out of here!" Maybe old Soph had something. Gentleman, let's broaden our minds. Let's reflect back to the of our youth, happy time cool and girls when dirt was you happened to were not. If father, you see Amanda's and treated him greeted him did the same. normally; he years, In a few however, Mr. Huginkis has purchased a shotgun and would take exquisite orgasmic delight in renting a U-Haul truck and backing over your head real slow, so it just pops. Why? Because Amanda is Daddy's little girl. And any young man who wished to date the fourteen year-old version of Amanda (if only because he's already put his head in a blender, and this is the next logical step in pain) has to pass through the Father Test. Here's a sample question: You should bring my daughter home from tonight's date: a) sometime within the next week. b) whenever you expect your other girlfriend to show up. c) at a reasonable hour (read: 9 p.m.) d) when you satisfy your wildest pubescent fantasies. Answer a) orb), and you '11 never see her again. Answer c ), and you 're in good shape. Answer d), and I'll send flowers to the funeral. So Daddy's a little protective, Amanda would say. So he looks out for my best interest5. So what? You are a mama's boy. I must confess that Mama Butz has done her share of intimidating potential babes, either by being pleasant when answering the phone ("What the hell do you want?") or by coihplimentary lines concerning her appearance ("Is that your nose, or did you catch a boomerang between her eyes?") I said she was intimidating; I never said she was funny. Postulations on parental protectiveness prevent possible prenuptuals. (Alliteration has left the building.) .If parent5 aren't supportive of relationships, they can create difficulty and eventually end a realtionships. Or if a child chooses a girlfriend/boyfriend or husband/wife over parents, serious tension can develop. Although men can be mama's boys and women can be daddy's girls, parents need to know when to "cut the cord," so to speak, and to trust the child's judgement, even if it does mean someone getting hurt. So for this week, stay away from Amanda's dad, and always choose c). At least that's what he said. They say you can judge a man by the way he treats his mother. Or even worse, that a m an is looking for a woman to be LIKE his mother In either case, the situation looks grim for the female population. Both scenarios above can lead to only one conclusion- the guy is still ti the apron strings and not letting go anytime soon. Just what is a momma' s boy you ask? Let me offer you a typical profile. (If it sounds similar to how Seymour has acting, I deny any intentional similarities.) He's the kind of guy who still rolls all of his socks together and color c them. Or the man you see at the drycleaners every Saturday because he d know how to use the steam option on the clothes iron. He' 11 order out for food days a week and exclaim iq. surprise when you uncover his lone matching u set underneath the old issues of Sporting News. A momma' s boy will never, be wrong when arguing, always claim helplessness when it comes to any domestic, and swear that he never knew you had to take the microwave pizza of the box before nuking it. What's worse is that / boys tend to look for are just like their S5lllJJ They want their mothers personified in the form tuous, but silent / tic, mate. ____,- ___....__..........__ . thing to making that dr .,reality might be if a Playboy playmate puts on an apron. I can understand why men feel this way though. After 30 or 40 years, average time it takes for a momma' s boy to leave the nest, of having a live-in in the form of a mother what person wouldn't want to find a mate who would up right where their mother left off? For a momma' s boy this point would probably be to pick up the dirty b still left on the floor from a week ago. Or to wash the dishes sitting in the sink a failed attempt at domestication. But the prospect of having someone take care of you the way your mothe when you were little is both attractive and heartwarming. Unless you aren't for the possessive side of maternal instincts which go hand in hand with nurtming. Take heart though girls because the odds of ending up with a momma'sboy about as good as those for the King's Monarchs to even score, let alone win,ag . the undefeatead Wilkes Colonels this year. Luckily for us, that translates into to none. Why? Because no matter what, no women will ever be good enough momma's boy. No matter what, every babe paraded in front of Mother Butz be unsuitable for her darling little boy. Either she' 11 be too fat or too thin, t or too short, too blond or too brunette ... But the question remains, in whose eyes? His or his momma' s? And what she said. ---- ---- --- Organized Anarchy By JOSEPH RAE Columnist I wonder if Bill Buckner was watching.

The "murder" was well publicized and attendance was fairly good. A simulated murder game in the cafeteria during dinner before the show, along with body tape markings scattered around cam pus, seemed to generate a lot of curiosity and a lot of players. The plot involved the stabbing death of actress Angelique on the set of a mineral water commercial in which she was to star. The audience had the opp01tunity to observe the reactions of her sister and cast members to the news of the murder. Later the suspects were questioned to reveal alibis and possible motives. Students who named the correct murderer had the opportunity to win T-shirts or the $50 grand p1ize. Phuong Bui was the winner of the cash. Reactions to the murder game were overwhelmingly positive. Said student Latanya Urquhart," ... it kept me going the whole time. I hope they come back again." Ricardo Torres-Ortiz agreed. "I thought it was very well acted, entertaining and fun and next time everyone should come." By STEPHANIE KRAMER Features Writer For Circle K' ers, it's that time of the year again - it's time to unearth the black capes, rubber masks and plastic fangs for the annual Haunted House in Dennison Hall on the Wilkes campus. The house will be open every night until Saturday.

It was Billy Joel's first night of a two night stand at the Spectrum as part of his River of Dreams tour. Sho1tly after 8 p.m., Joel and his band took the stage and launched into "A Matter of Trust." From there, the show only got better as the band burst right into "No Man's Lar1d" from the River of Dreams album. Joel's two and a half ~our set included hits from his most recent album, River ofDreams, and also some tunes from Stormfront, such as "Downeaster Alexa," "We Didn' t Sta1t the Fire," and "All About Soul." He also played the classics including, "My Life," "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant," and a touching version of "Goodnight Saigon," complete with helicopter sound effects. Joel also payed homage to N01theastern Pennsylvania, playing "Allentown" which drove the crowd wild. He closed the main portion of the show with a rocking "Only the Good Die Young." The first of the two encores was his tale of a drug dealer, "Captain Jack." The last song of the night was none other than "Piano Man," with the soldout crowd singing the chorus. Joel's band included some of the greats in rock and roll. "Saturday Night Live" alumnus, T-Bone Wolk played bass, longtime E-Street Band member, Crystal Talifero was on percussion, and Joel's longtime friend Liberty Devito was on drums. The band played and sounded great. Joel couldn't have assembled a better bunch of musicians for a backing band. Joel put on a very energetic show, running all over the stage, dancing,a nd even playing the piano with hs bottomside. It was easy to see he was enjoying himself and played his heart out. Joel is scheduled to play in New York and New Jersey in December. If you wan' t to catch a great show, don't miss this. I know I won't.

This contempo City, a tri Manuscri dents had the day, a !,till diggin' D79·le1n By JON ROHMAN Features Writer Bob Dylan is back. Dylan has just released his 28th album since 1961, "World Gone Wrong."Like his last album, "Good as I Been to You," Dylan chose to record his version of 10 obscure folk and blues songs by aitists such as Blind Willie McTell, the Mississippi Shieks, and Doc Watson. Dylan plays solo on "World Gone Wrong," handling the vocals, haimonica and acoustic guitar. It's great to see him get back to his roots and and record like he did on his first album, "Bob Dylan," in 1961. This is the.way Dylan was meant to play-with just one acoustic guitar and a harmonica. Dylan also writes the liner notes for the album. In them, he gives his interpretation of the songs that have influenced him throughout his career. The album opens with a song by the Mississippi Radiohead 1s Shieks, "World Gone Wrong." This song, in which he sings, "Sorry honey, I can't be good. The world's gone wrong," sets a theme for the entire album. All of the songs are about deceit and betrayal, until the last song, a haunting ballad, "Lone Pilgrim," which looks at salvation and the needs of mankind. In "Delia," Dylan sings, "all the friends I ever had are gone," with a hint of regret in his voice. One of the more familiar songs on the album is "Jack a Roe," which tells the story of a young virgin in love with a sailor. Dylan also covers Frank Hutchinson's version of "Stack A Lee." These two songs also tell tales of deception and betrayal. If you're a hardcore Dylan fan, I think it will be easy for you to appreciate this album. But, if you' re not much of a Dylan fan and want to hear some good old folk and blues songs sung by a man who has helped shape a generation, get "WorlciGone Wrong" by Bob Dylan. You won't be disappointed. a --creep··--------------- By LYNNMARIE ROSEN CRANCE Features Editor If you liked Radio head's hit song "Creep," then you will love their album Pablo Honey. The first song on the album "You" is a slower, more dramatic tune than "Creep." The group uses and emphasizes more of their ha1monizing ability. "Howdoyou?"hasmoreofametallicsoundtoitwith lots of guitar noise. In the song "Stop Whispering" you can hear, what seems to me, a U2 influence. The lead vocalist sin•gs those early Bono hang notes and the song ends with a Radiohead's rendition of an instrumental jam session. The fifth song on the album, "Thinking about you," starts off with acoustical guitars and a vocalist only. Again, I sense a heavy U2 influence, especially in some of the guitar· cords played. "Thinking about you" is a pretty mellow tune with a good sound from the acoustical guitars. "Anyone can play guitar" has a heavier sound; a lot of bass in fact. This song shows no resemblance to "Creep." So for those of you who didn't like that particular· song, don't lose faith in these guys yet. "Ripcord" reminds me of a matured Violent Femmes song. Could it be Destiny? . If any of you remember the Lemonheads sound (it's been a while, huh?) "Vegetable" will remind you of them. It has a distinctive Lemonheads beat to it. (And I'm not refeITing to their remake of Mrs. Robinson.) "Prove yourself' starts off quiet and depressed but quickly changes to a more upbeat'drumand guitar number. Thenexttwosongsonthealbum, "Ican't"and"Lurgee," also bring the Lemonheads to mind. "Blow out," the last song on the album, has a unique sound all to it's own. It is a mix of vocal hai;mony, keyboards and guitar·, all crescendoing to a strong vocal takeover then into amixofall the sounds together to end the . album. If you like the Lemonheads, U2 and the Violent Femmes all rolled up together, then you will really enjoy this album, Pablo Honey by Radiohead. unport dents' t f the co ould [al e] what translation by Timberlake Werten captures the beauty of the poetry presents the script in a lively and ex · fo1m.
