On the political scene, Somalia is healing slowly while Haiti is simmering. But that's not it. Michael Jordan's retirement last Wednesday was a loss for basketball. But don't count me among the mourners. Along with being the greatest ever, he also had one of the worst attitudes of any pro athlete. At his press conference, MJ said he looks forward to not having to deal with the media. I pity you so much, Michael. Without television, Mr. Jordan you'd be the greatest player no one saw. Good-bye and don't let the door hit you in the Nike's on the way out. But even Michael's announcement, for as monumental as it was, wasn't enough to capture the clatter. From the Associated Press wire, dated Saturday, October 9, 1993: "In Moraine, Ohio, a five year-old set a house fire last week in which his two year-old sister died, and their mother blamed "Beavis and Butthead" for promoting burning as fun." Say it with me now, accountability. Or better yet, to quote the old Highlights magazine, "What's wrong with this picture?" For those of you who have never had the joy of seeing "Beavis and Butthead," it is a satirical caitoon lampooning teenagers who do nothing but watch MTV all day and basically act brain-dead. Like Seymour Butz of "He Said, She Said" fame. The show frequently contains strong language and many sexual allusions . So why is a five year-old watching this? And better yet, how did he get matches or a lighter? Two things trouble me here. The first (and most obvious) is that this child was watching MTV. Now those who know me know that I don't buy censorship at all. But MTV has more sex than most other chanuels. And I don't think that it's really suitable for a five year-old. So the mother blames MTV when it is her fault. That's expected. The wild card in all of this is MTV, which agreed to rethink ce1tain "Beavis" concepts. Why am I not surprised? · This has tq be the most hypoc1itical network on television. Less than three years ago, they trashed Tipper Gore and her crnsade to label all records with offensive content. When she became the nominee for "second lady," MTV embraced her. This is the network that decries the censorship proposed by the Christian right and then bans a Sir Mix-A-Lot video until after 9 p.m. and a Madonna video altogether. What's up, fellas? "Beavis and Butthead" me occasionally funny. But we all know kids imitate whatever they see. So monitor their viewing, plain and simple. Have a good Fall Break, don't play with matches, and if anything goes wrong, blame someone else. That's all for now. We'll chat again after break. This Week in History q>lllff.

" By SEYMOUR BUTZ By AMANDA HUGINKIS In the 1989 song "Funky Cold Medina" By Tone Loe, the protagonist, Mr. Loe, procures particular potions for procreation. (Alliteration returns!) Upon giving ¢e elixer to one maiden, she wishes not to procreate, but "instead she started to talkin' 'bout plans for maniage." Tone's response is to vacate the premises immediately. I can only gather that Tone Loe met the fair Amanda. Amanda confessed to Father Seymour that she ,as had the color of her )ridesmaids' gowns seected since she was five. I mggested to her that finding a vhipping boy, er, I mean rnsband, might 1ot be easy. She retorted that men are afraid of marriage and fon't even think about it. Yeah, so? As usual, I must explain to Amanda that this idea is utterly trite. She no loubt picked it up from the latest CosmDpolitan, with the scantily clad women m the cover, next to the article, "How to Satisfy Your Man Every Time, And fhen Go Make A Mean Ham and Cheese Sandwhich." But I digress rapidly. It has been said by Amanda (and people more inteligent) that men are afraid )f committment. Not all committments, I try to tell her. It's just that marriage s such a long step. We men are afraid of spending the rest of our natural lives .vith the incorrect person, so we postpone major decisons. This comes as a shock to Amanda, who knows exactly what songs will be )layed at the wedding. No doubt "Na Na, Hey Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye" by 5team will be heard, since no matter who he will be, he will never be seen happy 1gain. So I ttied to explain to her that men don't really care what color everyone wears. All they care about is whether or not this young lady is Ms. Right. As Jsual, it takes two to three days for any high level of information or tricky jokes to pass through Amanda' s pretty, but empty, head. So whatever is said today will be deciphered over Fall Break. In closing then, I ask the fair Amanda, "You're wearing white? Who are you kidding?" That's what he said. SAID While this topic is sure to scare most of the guys away from "He Said, She Sai for a few weeks, Seymour and I thought it might be best to take our chances, do th' the Christian way, and talk about the "m" word before the "s' word. Yes, I kn college students talking about ma1Tiage before sex is unheard of, but Seymour ao! aren't even dating so I think it's safe to proceed (with the column, that is). Actually, our whole conversation started because I saw this show on Don(Yes, Donahue. Not, as Seymour suggested, from Cosmo, which does inciden have some good stories.) about how men and women look at maniage. Wanting test out the theory, I approached Seymour to find out if men really were in the when it comes to maniage. For once, Seymour didn't fail me. At the word "maiTia he bolted out the door and left me standing at the proverbial alter. So what do guys think about man-iage? Quite simply, they don't. Guys, u females, do not fantasize about what their wedding will be like, unless the topic ~ wedding night or the cute little bimbo who jumped out of the cake at the bachelorp They have not been planning their ideal wedding since the age of five. They do have the colors of their ready on order. And they do Bride's Magazine the day kiss. · Women, however, I'll be the first to had my wedding planned years. In case you' re curious · all six of my brides~-----maids will wear e ald green, I'll get manied in an old Victorian mansion, I'm a four-year subscri Modern Bride, and my husband-to-be will earn a six digit income before I e consider being his wife. (Hey Seymour, why are you rnnning away?) This is one topic that I simply can't argue with. Girls have grown up believing they should be planning their wedding at the first sign of interest by a male. Guy · the other hand, take a running start and simply bolt at the mention of marriage. U they get roped in, guys don't give much marriage much attention and when they notice, it's only to complain that the bar isn't open during the entire reception. Don't think this male indifference ends with mm1·iage though. Girls, it' endless cycle. You're always planning - first it' s your maniage, then the meals, then your family. Guys are, as usual, just along for the ride. They don't anything much thought (thm1k god) until they have to. I seem to think that this is one of those inexplicable gender differences-one is probably better left alone. The divorce rate is high enough the way it is.

Once falls in love with the are only a handful of se fans mate for life, and it's a cultural groove watching what happens among those who achieve that rarefied respect. With the Violent Femmes, it's a matter of Gordon Gano, Victor DeLorenzo and Brian Ritchie speaking uniquely for those who wish they could, but maybe never got the chance. From the first plaintive desperation of "Gimme the Car" on through the societal strains of" American Music," the Violent Femmes supply a soundtrack of reality. Along the way, there are detours and distractions, of course, but never dead ~nds. If the Violent Femmes have accomplished anything, it's that they've recognized the need for tmth in a time when it is a lot easier to hide behind cynism or paint platitudes. And even if it may not be everyone's truth, it's definitely words and music that rings true for those who use it like a life raft. In the middle of the '80s, deep into the Ronald Reagan years, the Violent Femmes played a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. The venerable room was bursting at the seams with crazed t,ililikea of the revolution, and as tlie pe.rfo rm ance got underway, it didn 't take them long to realize that this was a nigh! withon1 rules. It was only a slight hop onto the stage and shortly into the band's set, dozens of their followers surrounded them, pulling at their instrumentts and completely overcome with emotion.

Last Tuesday, the Wilkes University Food Committee, a sub-group (no pun intended) of the Student Government, met with the Vice President for Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises, Paul O'Hop, in order to discuss selections at the cafete1ia. The representatives proposed more chicken entrees, such as broiled chicken, along with several theme meals. The effort to meet studentneeds is appreciated, but maybe " taco night" does not meet the demands of student body. What is the problem? "The biggest difficulty as I perceive it is the lack of communication from the committee to the students and from the students back to the committee. 'Thefoodsucks' is not constructive;' says O'Hop. What about a survey? Roughly, it would entail the food committee to draft and deliver a survey to all students who would be electing a meal plan. Based on the replies, the committee would construct a plan in which they would weigh students' demands, budget, and the products available to comprise a balanced food plan. I proposed this to O ' Hop who replied, "I would be more than happy to supply food service that would please the students:' However, as a guideline, O'Hop does enforce the 20/80 scale, which indicates that if 80% of students are happy, 20% are not, and vice versa. Many students are in amazement that Wilkes caf- eteria food meets F.D.A. standards. And according to O'Hop, "the dining hall is in teITible shape" in terms of equipment. However, the quality of the food is comparatively good. M01Tison' s Hospitality Group, managed at Wilkes by Mike Zeoli, is one of the largest food companies. It is the owner of Ruby Tuesday's and L & N Seafood Restaurant chains. They have been supplying the Wilkes cafete1ia and sub with food selections for five years, and they have to meet a national quality standard.

On Saturday, October 9, the Lady Colonels played host to Dickinson College. The Colonels once again were shutout, 4-0. Tanya Daigle gave up three goals and Shafter one in the loss.

The AIDS Memorial Quilt began in San Francisco in June 1987 when Cleve Jones spray painted his friend Marvin Feldman's name onto a piece of cloth the size of a grave. This was Jones' way of making people understand the overwhelming loss and frustration affecting him and many of his friends. Soon after, thousands of people from across the U.S. and around the world expressed their emotions by creating homemade memorials from those they lost to AIDS. The NAMES Project Foundation, the group in charge of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, displays po1tions of the Quilt worldwide in order to illustrate the enormity of the AIDS epidemic by showing the humanity behind the statistics, provide a positive and creative means of expression for those whose lives have been touched by the epidemic, and encouraging support for people living with the HIV infection or AIDS . Any money raised from the Quilt display at Wilkes will be equally distributed to the Wyoming Valley AIDS Council and the Wyoming Valley Dmg and Alcohol Service Incorporated. This is just one activity during AIDS Awareness Week. tile photo Marts Center dedicated By GINA M. TAGNANI News Editor The main function of the Development Office is to raise money. The office decided that a good way to recognize the people who donated money to the university was to hang a plaque in their honor in different areas of the Marts Center. Early in the campaign, the Development Office got a floor plan of the Marts Center and gave it to the donors with various minimum donations slated for each section of the building. The floor plan is complete and the areas have all been dedicated. "It's a way for us to show how much we appreciate the gifts that we receive," said Tom Hadzor, vice-president of Development. The Development Office intends to do this with the new buildings that are still in the planning stages and have already done so with Stark Learning Center, Evans Hall and the library. Hadzor added that it is up to the students at Wilkes to carry on the tradition of helping the university after they graduate. "Give back whatever you can. Whether it's $.5 or volunteer services, it will all be needed and appreciated," said Hadzor. umber of adult learners on campus is growing DY KENDIG & GINA M.

The basic criteria that this committee will consider for nomination include: 1. Senior standing. 2 . Minimum cumulative average of 2.0. 3. Active paiticipation in college and community activities. 4. Evidence of potential leadership. Anyone wishing to nominate themselves or another qualified senior can pick up a nomination form which can be found at the Security Desk in Stark Learning Center, Residence Life Office, and the Student Affairs office.

NEWS *Freshmen class SG elections * General meeting, SLClOl, Oct. 11, 4 p.m. * Nominations Oct. 15 by 5p.m. *Open Forum, Nov 16, SLC 101, l l-110011 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Did you ever go to the Wilkes University cafeteria with a gigantic appetite after along, hard day of classes, look at the food, and then think to yourself, " Just exactly what is that?" Well, if you ' re answer is "yes," you 're not alone. I sometimes feel the same way. I have nothing against t11e cafeteria, but sometimes the food it serves isn' t always appealing to the senses of the sight and taste. An alternative to forcing the undesirable down your throat would be to go to the SUB (a.k.a. The Snack Bar), located on t11e first floor of the Conyngham Student Center. The SUB provides a larger v,ll'iety of food unlike t11e cafeteria. So you ,U'e bound to find something you like . The SUB is open Monday through Friday, 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. for break- fast, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for lunch, and 5:00 to *:00 p.m. for dinner. Keep in mind that the Sub closes at 2:30 p.m. on Fridays. So remember, the next time your mind poses the question, "Just exactly what is tlrnt?," you can answer wisely by telling yourself to eat at the Sub today. Dear Editor : I once heard t11at a person's identity is defined by the sum of his actions. I can not identify with this because all of my life I have been repressing my actions to personify an image tlrnt is not me. I have learned at an early age that my identity would not be accepted in everyday society and in my normal surroundings. The idea that identity can change is unknown to me because I have always known, in some way or another, that I was gay . Being gay is who I am, it is my life. But, is that really my identity or just one small part of it? Can my identity change within time or will I have a static personality and life? Different events in my life lead me to believe tllat I will always be gay and pressure will not change tlrnt. When I look in t11e past, I can remember always having an attraction to men. At the time I wasn't sure if this was normal or not. I would look at the television and see tlle norm or heterosexual Ii ves. It wasn't until I was about eleven that I began to realize tliat I was different from everyone else. I began to look at the world in a different way and was always CcU'eful not to disclose my feelings to anyone. Later on, ,ll'ound the age of fifteen or sixteen, I began to hurt, not physically but emotionally. I am now eighteen ye,U's old and I've come to a conclusion, I am not going to deny myself of an identity. I am gay and I am happy with myself. Here at Wilkes I found a group tliat is understanding of my feelings . I am comfortable knowing tllat t11ere ,U'e others like me, my peers in particulcu·, because tlley are tlle ones that can understand what I went through the most. You don't have to be alone! Do not deny yourself of who you ,U'e just because you tllink that otllers will judge you. I know tllat it is not easy to discover who is "like you ," but when you finally do, trust me when I say you will feel a feeling unknowE before. That feeling is a comforting feeling and I gu,mmtee that you will feel at home. I know I have and for t11at I t11ank you Charlie. Anonymous Dear Editor: This letter is one that should have been printed in the last issue of The Beacon before the shortened summer break of 1993 ... The issue which I have to bring up is the fact that Wilkes students in comparison to most local area colleges, had t11ree less weeks of summer tllan everyone else . For example, in comp,U"ison to King's -Wilkes' final exam took3 days longer (9 days versus 6) and ended 2 weeks later - Wilkes. instead of starting classes on a Monday for the Fall semester, starts classes the Wednesday before. -Wilkes goes back to class a week later than King's after Christmas break What does t11is equal . A staggering loss of three weeks worth of paychecks. We pay the same amount of money (if no t more) for a college education and we get three weeks less worth of break! Why? Perhaps it is to accommodate a facu lty and staff pay raise. Though the administration can try to cover up everything with the intercession and other things ., the fact remains : When you're at Wilkes, you're getting paid to be there tllose three extra weeks. When we ,the students, ,U'e not at our summer jobs and are victims of poorly ,mw1ged scheduling, we are not getting paid! One extra week of Christmas break should not snowball into a three week loss of summer break! I am not mentioning this merely for the sake of copying King's. I am mentioning this because if King's can get along with their classes with their scheduling met11ods, tllen we should do the same as well! No Wilkes student wants to continue to be financially deprived hy losing not only three weeks wortll of paychecks, but also unemployment benefits!' You will be very h,U'dpressed to find tlrnt a Wilkes student in tllis day and age who can afford to sit on his butt t11e whole summer and not work to help pay for college expenses. In addition to tllese t11ree lost paychecks Wilkes students ,U'e not eligible for unemployment benefits. i tried. However, thanks to our admi nistration and their scheduling prowess, we were only granted 14 weeks of summer when the minimum number of weeks one must work to collect unemployment is 16! So tllere you have it fellow students-At Wilkes, you get more of what you don't want and less of what you want for your money.

'' The movie Driving Miss Daisy is a charming little flick in which the conflict appears to be over race. Upon closer examination, the conflict is once again male vs. female. I know, you're stunned. A woman telling a man what to do? Or even worse, how to drive? No way, dude. Yes, gentlemen, we all drill. Amanda call know the you on a Sunday afternoon (or even worse, this Saturday when State is on) a tide to the 7, 1993 HE sA I D Miami-Florida because she needs "'--.. mall to procure certain ~ - - - - - - - - - - -- - - ~ '~- superfluous items. For the ladies : to buy more crap you don't-----------~ need. When you pick her up, the first thing she does is change the rad~~ station to some Celene Dian garbage. When she's done with this, she will begin to ctiti4ue every single move. It's "You' re going too fast," or "Would you hmTy up; the stores close in 3 hours!" It's also at this point when you wish you could open Amanda's door and push her out of the moving vehicle. Or else take her for one of these Ted Kennedy rides where you go zippidy-do off a bridge and deal with accountability later. But I digress ..... . For a real treat, have Amanda operate the vehicle, but never your vehicle. The first thing she will do is flip down the vanity mirror to view her lovely countenance, oh, about a million times. Why look at the road when I can look at myself? Good Attitude. After avoiding a few thousand accidents, and successful cardiopulmanery resussitation, you realize that you still must travel here with Amanda. My advice: use public transportation! When Amanda and I had our weekly sit-down to discuss our bone of contention, she suggested the issue of dtiving. Someone has to do the thinking for this duo. Anyway, I thought of numerous phrases men use to describe women (e.g. d1iving me crazy, driving me to drink, etc.). Unfortunately for you, the reader, such clever humor has not shone through. To me, women are fine d1ivers. It's just the same as with other issues: keep your suggestions to yourself. Remember what HE SAID, gentlemen : women are why air bags were created. Who's dtiving? It's one of those questions that have males and females ar right up until the minute the car is in motion, or maybe, until it stops. It see neither sex wants to put their life in the hands of the other. (And after all gender problems brought to light in this column, who would blame you'') But driving means different things to the sexes. For females, d1iving is · a means of getting from one place to another. (Ideally, from one mall to an For males, though, driving is an expetience, a chance to prove their manliness female who is in the passenger seat (or if guys had their way, in the back hanging on for dear life. Take for example, a male's annoying tendency to pull up to a stoplight, over at the driver in the next lane, and then proceed to challenge the dtiver, if to a race to the next stoplight. Just what purpose does this serve?

Even worse, if Seymour's driving, he won't even let the Amanda ask for directions. I have a feeling this stems from the fact that men don't have a clue anyway so being lost is a matter of habit. For females, th' male quirk ranks 1ight up there with not putting the lid down. The real problem with this driving dilemma between the sexes is why guy to get their gal in the car in the first place. Believe me, it's usually not to shopping. For some reason, younger guys like to turn the back seat of theirc their little bungalow of love. A piece of advice for such males, no girl I kno the smell of cheap vinyl seats and Armor-all stimulating. So what she said guys, keep your driving to the front seat.

Fortunate enough to find a front row seat, I sat on the 1ight side, in front of the speakers. Not the best seat, but as anyone who has been to a rock concert can attest, not at all bad. The show started promptly at 8 :07 with an announcement of "No flash photography unless you have a media pass. Now please welcome Dennis Blair!" Dennis Blair?! Who was this yo-yo? Well, being a comedy connossier, I sat back with visible skepticism as I prepared to be e ntertained. Photo by RAY MONZON Bevis and Butthead of American Politics, to comparing Bob Dylan to Barney the "Lovable" Dinosaur. Blair was a talented guitar player and an excellent comedian who would have been worth the seven dollars spent, but we were there to see Carlin. After Blair finished, a 10 minute intermission ensued. This gave us a chance to stretch, visit the bathrooms, or buy such items as Carlin tshirts and tapes. As before, the lights disappeared and Carlin ran onto stage, greeted by thunderous applause. It was finally here, the moment I'd waited for for weeks. Carlin was on stage for 80 minutes and his comedy included such topics as abortion, things to do with sales clerks, things that piss him off, mysteries and common experiences that link people together, slams to religion (especially the Pope), his pets, baby boomers, his words that can't be said on television, and his list of alternate terms for male masturbation, numbering in the thirties. He even went so far as to wish death upon the venerable Mickey Mouse. The impression one gets from listening to Carlin for an hour and 20 minutes is he is a man with a good grasp of how this country really works. He is a philosopher who interprets the inner workings of the human psyche, the country, and, on a broader scale, the world. While avid Carlin fans could tell , roughly 80% of Carlin's mate1ial was used before. Even though this material is old, it is still applicable. Carlin is a man that takes his humor to a realm seldom explored. While his humor amuses, it also teac hes. Carlin doesnotencouragesittingidly and watching the world go by. He preaches to leave an imp1int on society. As he said on one of his previous specials, "we' re only around for a little while, so let's take advantage, piss some people off, and leave an impression". Carlin certainly leaves an impression, and is truly one of a kind.

Jack, played man Tom Schurtz, is an trated man faced with the of being in love. His in crime, Charles, Dave sophomore, is a victim of the same. Together they try to find a way to engage their sweethearts, literally. Enter Lord Fancourt Babberly, lovingly refen-ed to as "Babbs," played by BruceCluistian, sophomore. This poor soul, "Babbs," gets suckered into Jack and Charles' scheme. Alas, let us not forget Brassett, Tom Jmmiolowski,junior, whose job of trying to maintain order in this mess, becomes quite humorous. The set of this production, a love child of Director/ Designer Professor John Swanson. The set was incredible. The degree of reality was beyond belief as sets changed from Jack's room to the garden to a drawing room. In the two 15 minute intermissions the transfo1m::ltions occurred. The set changes were quick, orderly, organized and thorough. The production crewwas on the ball. The cast was al.so in good form. Tom Jarmiolowski took his small role as Brassett and turned it into a very humorous charactature of the an-ogant but bored B1itish butler. Bruce Christian, a/k/a "Babbs," a/k/a Charley' s "Aunt," was a wonderful confused buddy thrown into a situation that grows to be out of his control. Senior Heather Petruzelli played her role of Donna Lucia D' Alvadorez with just enough anal-retentiveness mixed with a touch of humor to pull this role off well. Colonel Sir Francis Chesney, Eric Bailey, sophomore, played the concerned fatherofJack, who has themiserable duty of trying to engage Charley's "Aunt" in marriage for "her" money, portrayed this role with the restraint a man in his position should have. Junior JoeRasmusaddedhumoras well with his out of control performanceofStephen Spettigue, the miserable money hungry uncle of Amy, and guardian of Kitty, played by freshmen Justine Caskey and Tara Schurtz repectively. When the lights went down after curtain call at "Charley's Aunt," it is fair to say the audience walked out of the theatre feeling refreshed. This is a light show, full of humor and is enjoyable evening out (and free for Wilkes students.) So this weekend, when you are wondering what to do, impress your date, take him/her to the show. Maybe he/she will think you are a highly cultured-atristically minded person. After all, who has heard of the show "Charley's Aunt?" I personally think you should.

The Colonels are now 40, 2-0 in the MAC Freedom League, had been tied with POU-Madison until the Jersey Devils lost 22-12 to Montclair. State on Saturday night. Wilkes will look to make it five straight when it faces Juniata on Saturday in Huntington with a kickoff set for l :30 p.m. The Colonels are currently ranked third in the NCAA Divisi on III South poll, fifth in the Lambert/ Meadowlands poll, and 15th in the Don Hansen Football Gazette poll. Wilkes once again had a super effort from the defense, limiting the Aggies to just 87 yards in total offense. For the year the Wilkes defense is ranked number one in the MAC giving up just 155.2 yards a game (74.0 rushing; 81.2 passing). "We played a super game on defense," said Wilkes coach Joe DeMelfi. "We were able to get a lot of pressure on the quarterback and forced him to hurry his throws. It was a total team effort to limit them to just 87 yards." The shutout, the second of the year for the Colonels, marks the first time since 1968 that the team has posted two shutouts in a season. On defense the Colonels are led by Mike McCree with 42 tackles and LaITy Trakes and Mark Buss with 31 tackles each. Trakes has five sacks and Buss two for the Colonels. Jake Cole has 25 tackles and seven sacks and three forced fumbles to rank fourth while Jason Feese has 24 tackles and two sacks . In the secondary Joe Woodward has 13 tackles and Mike Modla has 11 tackles. On offense, the Colonels are led by quarterback Boo PeITy who is 60 of 105 for 897 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions this year. Peny is now fourth all-time at Wilkes with 196 yards passing in _just 12 career games. When Perry goes back to pass his favorite receiver is Steve Endres who has 29 receptions for 443 yards and one touchdown to lead the MAC. Endres is now the alltime leader at Wilkes in receiving yards with 2209. He is now just 18 catches shy of breaking the receptions mark held by Anthony DiGrazia ('84-'87). ~On ihe ground Jason Smith who rushed for 119 yards on Saturday and was named to the Eastern College Atlantic Conference (ECAC) Southern Division Honor Roll, leads the MAC in rushing with 362 yards (90.5 per game) . He is now second allti me at Wilkes in rushing with 2314 yards and just 556 away from breaking Ted Yeager's ('68-'71) record of 2869. Ryan Alston is second in both rushing and receiving for the Colonels with 104 yards on the ground and 13 receptions for 232 yards. Alston also has three touchdowns receiving and one touchdown on the ground. The kicking game for the Colonels has improved with Joel O'Donnell hitting on 1014 extra points and four of seven field goals, including a career long 40 yarder against Delaware Valley. Looking ahead to Juniata, DeMelfi feels the team needs to stay focused. "Just because Juniata is 04 does not mean a thing," said the fourth year coach. "They have been in all of their games and have been hurt by some turnovers. We cannot look past anyone because that's when you'll get beat." "Our kids feel like they'rn on a mission 1ight now and we, as a coaching staff, can't let them lose that focus ," DeMelfi commented. Juniata, coming off a 40- 12 loss to Widener on Sa day, is in the midst of ase game losing streak da back to last year. Matt Baker and Davidson are the two threats for the Indians Baker having 20 recepti for262 yards while Davi has 14 catches for 193 y and five touchdowns. terback Wade Kurzing 48 of 122 for 591 yards four touchdowns and s interceptions.

This marked the first two game winning streak in the Wilkes women's soccer programs history. The Lady Colonels were lead in their scoring attack by freshman sensation Jen Svelnys. Svelnys has been a consistent offensive threat to Wilkes' opponents. Unfortunately, Coach Ban-era's winning streak was short-lived. The Lady Colonels were handed a loss by a talented Drew club this past Saturday. Wilkes was again led by Svelnys who scored the only goal for her team in their 5-1 loss. It seems the Lady Colonels luck, both good or bad, has been streaking in two s lately. After losing to Drew on Saturday, the Colonels were shut out by Scranton on Tuesday, October 4. Veteran goali e Tanya Daigle and newcomer Michelle Shaffer have been holding their own in the goal on the defensive end. Coach Barrera and his club will travel down the street to King's this afternoon in hopes of another victory to add to their 2-8 record.

Letter to the Editor itor: nguage. es October takes a liJtle more to be the King [or] Queen. CHATTER By MICHAEL BUTCHKO News Editor It seems that every morning, the news is repented. Two wounded in Florida. It_ ~eems that with each passing day, human life becomes cheaper. Fifteen year-old dead after drive-by shooting. But nothing changes. _For the past w_eek, I have subjected myself to awakening to the daily news report 011 the radio. For the entire week, the first news story has not been the Russian Parliament's Wacolike barricade, or the President's push for health care. It is meaningless death. ~he ~itu~tion in Florida is despicable. But it appears that killing tourists is the latest in Florida fasluon. And no end is in sight. But guns don't kill people, people do, right? We have a fundamental right to stockpile assault weapons, and then when someone irritates us, our fundamental right is to blow them away . While watching "The Sportswriters on TV" the other night, I learned two things : 1) In 1991, there wer~ ro~ghly one dozen shootings in Great Britain. (yes, the whole country) and 2) The number (~f ~h~ldren n~urdered by gunfire in the city of Chicago as of September 1993 e4 uals Great Bntam s total for 1991. Remember, in Britain, not even police carry guns. Something had better be done. And fast . There's something happenin' here. What it is ain't exactly clear. Now to the chatter. Tapping this week's news: Wilkes football is 3-0. That's all you need to know. Speaking of sports, I'm only going to say this once: Braves vs the White Sox in the World Series. For you Phillies fans, I'll say it once more and slower. And oh yeah, the White Sox in seven games. So now it appears the U.S. is getting involved in Bosnia. What took so long? Or does the U .N. have different mles for African nations (read: Somalia) than it does for European nations? Just curious. The Russian parliament is holed up in a building and I'm thinking: call Janet Reno, she's got exp_e1tise in this. If they need something to force the parliament out of the building, I've got a good idea. Blast audio tapes of the 20/20 interview with that women who performed, uh, well, surgery on her husband. Usually that gets men running in all directions. I mean, wow, that's rough . Kay Bailey Hut~hinson, the Republican who replaced new Secretary of the Treasury Lloyd Bensen as senator from Texas, was just indicted on charges of misconduct. She is the second Republican senator under indictment, along with Dave Durenherger. The Grand Old Party has some problems. So this is my punishment for picking on Rotenkowski two weeks ago. I leave you with the newest rnmor: Rupert Murdoch, after breaking the New York Post in half, has decided to buy Wilkes. I don't know about you hut I'm going on strike . That's all for now. We'll chat again next week. ·tly what qualities should Wilkes University's HomeKing and Queen possess? iththis being Homecoming Week here at Wilkes, many of ywant to ask yourselves this question, especially if you ding which nominees to choose for king and queen. queen: Should she be pretty?

By SEYMOUR BUTZ By AMANDA HUGINKIS Before I begin my tirade on the latest battle of the sexes issue, I must protest. As Shakespeare wrote, "The chauvinist doth protest too much," or something to that effect. Well, I must protest. The thought provoking beginning to last week's column was my own little way of giving a proper introduction to thesis. my eventual ed both When I viewmy column and mindAmanda' s b y less twaddle sidethat her side, I noticed same piece had the intro as mine. Coincidence? Pardon me, Latoya Jackson, but I don ' t think so. Amanda stole my idea and used it for herself. This is applicable to this week topic: the ending of relationships. Amanda has to learn that men and women do not do everything the same way. Just because women do things one way does not mean it is correct. Actually, it is usually the opposite. Gentlemen, a scenario: you are dating this female for two or three months when you decide you no longer wish to see her because you have decided that her presence causes you headaches, heartburn, and some intestinal gas. So you treat her like a case of intestinal gas: if you ignore her, maybe she will go away. Besides, you don't want to damage the poor sow's self-esteem by going to her and saying, "Sorry, dear but you give me intestinal gas." You let the relationship fade like overwashed clothes. Not Amanda. If she decides that it's all over, she has to articulate her heartfelt yet simple feelings on paper. It would go something like this: Dear Seymour: I'm s01Ty that we can't see each other anymore. Although I know I'll never do any better, I need a change. Thanks for all you've bought me. You '11 never see it again. Luv, Amanda Please note that the "i" in again would be dotted with a heart. What it all boils down to is that men think women are smart enough to know when it's over. WRONG! Women think men are too dumb to know anything. Still debatable. But when it comes to communication of an ending, men don't need to see "The End." But women still do. Remember, when you read her side, that He Said it first. Now if you'll excuse me, Amanda's given me intestinal gas again. Well, well, it's obvious that Seymour has been burned in the past by a maiden, and probably rightfully so. Ot]].erwise, what would be the reason for scathing remarks in this week's column? ilkes Universit) Poor Seymour, take heart, because every guy gets the boot at least once. while you may have gotten a "Dear John" letter, or worse yet, a cold starefrom y ts recently nomi 22 seniors to bt girl's new (or old) beau, it shouldn't be the end of the world. In other words, over it, you poor sap and stop blaming the rest of the female population for oneg· mecoming Court g and queen wil mistake (or in Seymour's scenario, a smart move). sen during half Secondly, if she's such a sow why are you seeing her, Seymour? (A li at the Homecom alliteration) tball game thi: Now as long as we realize that Seymour is just sour over old grapes, it's o ay .

Or worse Adomiak, New they have a f1iend tell you. I have a feeling this lack of communication on a guy's part stems from alley, NJ, major bi ology; Jane issues. One, guys still believe that showing any type of emotion makes them Warrington, ma of a man. In order to remain macho they say nothing. (At least this keeps t looking intelligent.) Secondly, guys don 't want to admit that they have no idea they're breaking up in the first place or that they may have been at least half maj oring in com problem. (In case you haven't noticed this lack of responsibility on the pa Gai males has been mentioned two weeks in a row-it's developing into a trend w Wes means that the "sex" issue probably isn 't far off.) When the fair Amanda decides that it's time to move on to greener($$ pastures, however, she accomplishes this in the most sensitive way possible. either bums all of the gifts ever received from her prince (which is why Seymo gifts were never returned) or she writes a long, elaborate letter to her ex-love. as Seymour says, to say it's over, but to list in excruciating detail all the flaws her former love so that he can work them out in counseling or drown them in a In other words, a women's purpose for writing a "Dear John" letter is not to let down easy but to make you feel like a worthless peon for ruining the best thing ever had. The reason behind all of this is that women are more in touch with their fee· and therefore, are sure of what they're doing. Guys, on the other hand, aren' t sure of why they're breaking up. Does the old line "It's not you, it's me" so familiar? Or how about, 'Tm going through a selfish phase right now?" So while I do kn9w, Seymour, that men and women do things differently, again, women do it better. We call when we say we will. We keep our pro and we never complain about who said what first. However, just in case haven't noticed, while what He Said may be first, she gets the final word. HE SAID Organized Anarchy By OSEPltRAE olumnist Without a doubt, the fut ire of the Clinton presidency depends on the outcome of the health care issue that now rests efore the nation. Refonning "n industry that consists of nearly one-sixth of the Ame1ioan economy with the most s · gnificant social legislation sjnce the New Deal will not be a simple task: industry lobby- ists, doctor and patient advocates and factions will be just three of the countless participants that will battle for their "turn" in the new Clinton healthcare plan. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of the healthcare issue is how it will play politically both in the Congress and in the media. The Democrats, since the election of Han-is Wofford to the Senate of 1991 , haveowned the health care iss ue, while the Republicans, on the other hand are torn over the issue. The impact that reform will l1ave will divide many natural Republicans allies, with big business supporting the Clinton plan and small business nervous over the impact of payroll taxes and employee mandates. In my opinion, the key to ear! ~f s•f l £ ~ S)Zl_J'IJ "winning" the battle will be to control the rhetoric. The Democrats need to emphasize that without reform ,job creation, and deficit reduction will be impossible, and the only hope the Republicans have is to hammer away at specific reforms in the plan, such as employer mandates. Hopefully, the Clinton administration learned from the budget debate, where The Republicans f off the unenlightened citize over higher taxes to hamm away at a necessary and b~ anced deficit reduction p gram .

The win gives the Colonels their best start since 1971. and it also makes them 1-0 in the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference) Freedom League. Like last week, Wilkes got off to a quick start when they went 99 yards in nine plays, capped off by Boo PeITy' s one yard run . Upsala came back in the second period, after a Wilkes fumble, to take an 8-7 lead early in the second quarter. However , the Colonels came back before halftime when they marched 57 yards in eight plays. Perry hit Steve Endres with a 15 yard scoring pass . The point after was good giving Wilkes a 14-8 half time lead. The Colonels opened the third quarter by driving 75 yards in seven plays, capped off by Ryan Alston's 26 yard touch- Colonel of the Week down run. The point after was no good for a 20-8 third quarter lead. Upsala would get on the board again in the third, but then Wilk es kicker Joel O ' Donnell hit a 38 yard field goal, en route to the 23-14 final score. Offensively for the Colonels,running back Jason Smith rushed for a season high 116 yards on 31 carries, while Alston rushed for 79 yards on a touchdown on just three carries. Perry continued his strong performance by completing 13 of 26 for 196 yards and one touchdown. On the receiving end, Endres had a big day with six catches for 130 yards and a touchdown. Once again, the Colonel defense came up big, holding the high powered Upsala offense to just 157 total yards. Leading the defense was linebacker Mark Buss, who recc,rded 13 tackles, an interception and a fumble recovery. For his perfonnance, Buss was named MAC and ECAC (Easte rn College Athle · C onference) player of week.

By ERICA KRAMER Sports Writer Coach Barrera's positive attitude finally paid off on Saturday, whenheandhisclub traveled for a face-off against Centenary. The Wilkes University Women's Soccer team won its first game, 3-0, since October 9, 1991. "It was just a matter of time until we got our first win out of the way," said head coach BaITera. "We tried from the beginning to improve our team game by game and it finally showed. It was a total team victory." Jen Svelnys, an aspiring freshman, had an impressive game with two goals and one assist. Tina Hite also had a goal and Karen Pastula had an assist. This week Tanya Daigle and Michelle Shaffer shared time in the goal. Both played well by not allowing a goal to be scored. With this huge win, the Lady Colonels record has improved to 1-5. However, Coach BaITera is optimistic that this will not be their last win. He commented, "With a new coach and new players it can be rough . We've asked the players to take on certain roles and do responsible things. The players have become more confident in themselves, and more comfortable with my system." Due to the weather, the women ' s soccer game against King's was postponed. However, the Lady Colonels will be in action on Saturday at Drew. The game starts at l :00 p.m . The Beacon salutes the 1968 Wilkes College Colonels Undefeated MAC Champions Lambert Bowl Winner "Timmie" Aw~rd Outstanding Small College Football Team of the Year �PAGE 12 SEPTEMBER 30, 1993 SPORTS Colonels to host Del Val in homecoming game WILKES-BARREAfteraseasonopeningroad hip which saw stops in Plymouth, NH, Annville, PA; and East Orange, NJ, the Wilkes University Colonels will finally come home on Saturday and face the Delaware Valley Aggies. Kickoff time, for the Homecomingcontest,isset for l :00 p.m. at Ralston Field in Edwardsville. Wilkes 1s currently ranked seventh in the Lambert/Meadowlands Poll and 26th in Don Hansen's Football Gazette Poll. The Colonels, 3-0 for the first time since 1971, will look to start 4-0 for the first time since 1968. That year the Colonels went 8-0 on their way to the winning the Lambert Bowl and the "Timmie" from the Washington Touchdown Club as the Outstanding Sm all College Football Team of the Year. Wilkes is coming off a 2314 win over Upsala College last Saturday, a game in which the Colonels held the high powered Viking offense to just 157 yards in total offense. Linebacker Mark Buss led Wilkes with 13 tackles, had a fumble recovery, and an interception and won the "big double", the Middle Atlantic Conference Defensive Player of the Week, as well as the Eastern College Athletic Conference Division III South Defensive Player of the Week. , "Our defense has played great all year," said Wilkes coach Joe DeMelfi. "They really worked hard to contain [Upsala quarterback Leroy] Williams and keep him in the pocket." Also having solid days on defense were Mike McCree who had nine tackles, Jake Cole who had eight tackles and 2.5 sacks, and Chris Carr who had seven tackles and a fumble recovery. For the year the Colonels are allowing just 178 yards in total offense, tops in the MAC. On offense, the Colonels got another big day from tailback Jason Smith who rushed for 116 yards on 31 carries. Smith is now tied with Cann en Lo Presto (' 77-' 80) for second all-time at Wilkes in yards rushing with 2,195 and needs just 67 5 to break the school mark of 2869 held by Ted Yeager ('68-'71). Quarterback Boo Perry was 13-26 for 196 yards with Steve Endres catching six passes for 130 yards and a TD. Endres earned a spot on the ECAC Division III South Honor Roll for his performance against Upsala. Endres is now just 25 catches shy of the school re.ceiving record held by Anthony Di Grazia(' 84-' 87) and 68 yards shy of breaking the school receiving yards of 2188 by DiGrazia. While Endres was having a good day catching the ball, flanker Ryan Alston was having a big day as well. Alston had 143 all purpose yards for the Colonels, including a 26 yard touchdown run. "We need to continue to work hard on scoring inside the 20," said DeMelfi. "We had several opportunities and failed to cash in on those chances. That will be a major area of work this week in practice." While the Colonels are 30, DeMelfi does not want the team to get swept up in the hoopla. "We need to work hard each week, because as soon as you let up in the MAC, that's when you will get beat," DeMelfi commented. "Just because Delaware Valley is 03 does not mean we can work any less than we have in the first three weeks. They (Delaware Valley) are not going to roll over just because we won a few games. They want to win as much we do." The Aggies, under head coach Bill Manlove, are coming off a 33-10 loss to Lebanon Valley last weel In that game the Aggies Jell 10-6 in the second period but gave up 27 stt·aightpoin~ over the final two and a half periods. For the year the Aggies are giving up 407 yards a game while gaining just 190 a game on offense. Quarterback Ray Savage is 22 of 47 for 227 yards yards, four interceptions and one TD. His fav01ite target is Denick Nonis who has seven catches for 44 yards and a TD. On the ground Delaware Valley isled by Savage who has rushed for 94 yards on 38 carries and has on TD.

Along with Wilkes and Lebanon Valley, Goucher, Harcum and Scranton participated. For the Lady Netters, this particular tournament was an unsuccessful one. In the opening game, Wilkes fell to Lebanon Val- ley, 7-15, 9-15. However, the Colonels went on to beat a Harcum team twice ( 15-6, 1512, 16-14, 15-6.) Despite their two wins, Coach Haslin's team left Lebanon Valley with a fourth place finish after falling to Scranton and Goucher, who went on to win the tournament. Despite a poor outing by the squad as a whole, there were some individual highlights. Wendy O'Connor had 35 kills, 11 blocks, and one ace against Lebanon Valley. Jessica Bierbower had 21 serv1<:e points and Laura Cardellino had 13 against Scranton. Tammy Swartwood and Samantha Smart also played well against Goucher and Harcum.

"We own )8 buildings, most of which were built before 1920," said Breiseth, "to say we're destroying the historical value of the downtown is absurd." According to Breiseth, it was illogical to renovate the building that they had torn down on South Franklin Street. "It would cost something like $350,000 to make it safe, and we offered it to anyo ne who wanted to take it off its fo undation and move it and th at we would contribute to the moving whatever it would cost us to demolish it.

Rivalry can take on many forms . One of the forms of rivalry, especially among the younger lions, is sibling rivalry.( I know .

However, there has been one v~ interaction between us and that was the mixer that last Friday night. This mixer brought us together and us the opportunity to get to know one another. Lets face was Lhe last time you got the chance or took the chance with a King's person? though many students showed up at the King's gym to our Colonels basketball team in the past, that was a friendly environment. I think the mixer was a success it gave us a chance to meet the students . What many don't realize is that it isn't the individual students Ives that we are rivaling with. It is more like the ing rights." In other words , by winning or striving ahead as a school we gain the right to say that we are a better . So this makes the rivalry more of one for school ity than one against Wilkes or King's students. was just informed that sta1ting in November, Wilkes is to play their first football game against Kings in 50 ' This will undoubtedly add to the rivalry . It is the first King's has had a varsity team and it is going to create a hell lot more tension for sports. (Even though we know who win!) There, that is a perfect example of the rivalry I'm gto. Although we will never extinguish the rivalry , we re able Lo understand what it is all about.

First, the grand plan for Wilkes' sprint into the 21st century has been slightly delayed. But that issue is covered at length in this week's issue. No, what concerns me this week is fruit. Grapes , specifically. And sour ones at that. · In this case, the produce depmtment is King's , and the manager is the "John Doe" who first raised the stink last week about the Wilkes University basketball program . Until anyone knows the full story, and I doubt anyone ever will, I will refer to the complainer as John Doe. Mr. Doe believes that ce1tain members of our men's basketball team are academically ineligible to play . These accusations were made without any type of proof. But why should that stop anyone? The bottom line is this: Coach Jerry Rickrode has built a winning, dean program. When Wilkes-Barre's other college was so successful in the late 1980s, no questions were raised about their team . Now the shoe is on Wilkes' foot which happens to be planted firmly in the buttocks of King's College on the basketball court, and there are accusations? Grow up. And until there is a single piece of evidence, get over it. Whatever happened to this "bearing false witness against thy neighbor" stuff? Appearing in bookstores this winter, Under the Tarnished Bell Tower: The Unautlwriz.ed Story <~t Wilkes Basketball. ' Someone alert Coach DeMelfi : start losing as soon as possible, or you' 11 be accused of paying players. Or buying them cars. Obviously he doesn't listen; if you had Lebanon Valley and fo1ty points in your office pool, you lost. You do realize that if Boris ,y eltsin is president of Wilkes, the whole staff is out the door tomorrow. In today's want ads : Now accepting applications for the position of member of the Russian parliament. Must have experience in dealing with intoxicated leader. I saw Bmis' press conference, and all I thought was, "I hope that's tea he's sipping ." But I still figured it was Vodka. President Clinton spoke to Yeltsin on the phone on Tuesday. After the conversation, Bill cleaned house in Cabinet. He thought it might be cool. Sorry to be going so soon, but someone has to cover the story that Coach Rickrode is tainting the water to make his players grow. Or maybe Tags can take care of it. But if King's says it, the n it must be true . . That's all for this now. And yes, we will continue our chat next week. !:This Wee k i n History Compiled By the Wilkes University History Club Septem her 25, 1925-Union of Soviet Socialist Republies decrees that all people of the working classes between the ages ofl9-40mustserveinthemilitary .

If you did pick choice "C," don't despair. It doesn't make you sexist, no matter what Pat1icia Ireland says. Women frequently accuse men of, ah, how do you say, not making the greatest eye contact. Or, as that snappy little Amanda puts it: "My eyes are up here!" So maybe we have a problem. Maybe we treat women as nothing more than sex objects. Maybe our behavior is so morally reprehensible that men as a species should be condemned and branded until the end of the line. Maybe not. I have one word for all you gentlemen: accountability. Or lack thereof. The trend in society is to blame others for your own actions. Far be it for me to break a trend. It is not our fault that we view women this way. It is society's fault. . Take television. Not mine, I mean TV is general. The commercials which grace our sets send one loud message - sex sells. From alcohol to cars, women are used as sales pitches for va1ious products. What have we learned? That women are just another possession, or even worse, ornaments which do nothing more than enhance the inanimate oqjects they attempt to sell. Even to Seymour, that's sick. So in a serious end to a trembling topic, let's hope that advertising executives lay off the sex-sells mentality. Right now, it fails to treat women as what they are: beautiful, yet often misguided, human beings. Until that time, this attitude, unfortunate though it may he, will persist. No matter what he says, that's just the bottom line. WILK.E'S CIRCLE K'S Live DANCE MARATHON Bands WITH Q102 THIS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Free 7P.M. TO 7 P.M.

Their studies extended over 11 years resulting in three major publications. The last publication was p1inted in 1963 and was submitted to the Surgeon General. In response to this new information, the Surgeon General appointed a committee in order to investigate further. Four years later, the Surgeon General placed warnings about cigarettes causing lung cancers on all cigarette wrappers. However, Dr Auerbach's studies did not end there. He is presently studying the affects smokinghasonemphysema. He lectured on the subject Monday evening. He said "emphysema are holes in the lung that affect the walls of the air-sacks. They are scarred and they rupture the walls of the air-sacks. When you have enlarged air sacs that is when you have emphysema." He went on to say," If I had an alternative, if I had to die of lung cancer gr emphysema, I think I'd be better off dying from lung cancer, because it goes by so fast." Dr. Auerbach explained that a person suffering from emphysema goes through stages. At first the patient discovers difficulty in running, then walking up stairs, next walking, until he/ she is finally confined to a wheelchair. At the final stage of emphysema, the patient is considered a lungc1ipple. Finally, the air sacs are unable to expand and the walls rupture which can cause serious problems. I would like to thank Dr. Oscar Auerbach, on behalf of the student body for all of the time and effort he put into his studies, and also for speaking at Wilkes. Dr Auerbach is entering his 89th year of life, and is still working hard to preserve it. ---- WILKES - BARREFriends, students, peers, and members of the community gathered at the Sordoni Art Gallery on the Wilkes University campus for a reception recently to see a new view of the Wyoming Valley. Herb Simon's exhibit, "Places and Things:Sculpture and Drawings 1987-1933," on display at the Sordoi1i Art Gallery through Octoher 3rd, includes repr~sentations of places from the region as well as common items,altered to present a new point of view. The exhibit represents a new direction for Simon's work which has been p1imarily ahstract. "In any direction an artist follows certain things are gained, others lost," Simon said. "The play of fonnal relationships ... has been followed hy sculptures and drawings in which memory, nostalgia, the absurd, the bizarre, the humorous and the self-referential have been given scope." Professor Eme1iti at Wilkes University, Simon attended New York University where he earned both Bachelor of Arts and Master of ArLs; degrees. He has studied at the Hans Hofmann Art School and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Since joining the Wilkes faculty in 1969, Simon has taught sculpture-and three-dimensional design as part or the University's Art Department. His work has been included in numerous invitational solo and group shows. Simon's metal sculptures have been acquired for public spaces in WilkesB arre, Harrishurg,and Bethlehem.

Over people packed the lobby of the Kirby Center for this first-time event. Doors opened at 9 p.m. I anived at the mixer at 9: 10 p.m. and by that time the line was all the way around the corner. Free T-shirts were given away to the first 150 students who walked through the door. The T-shirts were donated by the Wilkes University and King's CollegtStudent Government organizations. Bob Loftus ofWKRZ 98.5 FM provided the music for this non-alcoholic party. Loftus gave away numerous prizes, including eight $25 cash prizes donated by Wilkes' and King's Student Governments . There was also plenty of po- tato chips, pretzels, and snacks. Bartenders were serving va1ious mocktails to party goers throughout the night. At the door, each student received ~ither a nut or a bolt. I thought the point of taking a nut or bolt was to see who you matched up with in order for students from the two schools to interact. The only problem with this was that the people giving out the nuts and bolts didn't specify which sex got which hardware. Overall the party was a hit. I saw many people mixing and having fun . I met a lot of people myself, from King's and Wilkes.

The two first joined forces to create the 1977 classic Bat Out Of Hell (which hy 1987 sold over 7 million copies in the United States alone) and then Deadringer in 1981. The cover is fantastically drawn and has the same man on the flying motorcycle that bursts out of the graveyard (ll1 the cover of the first album. This time, however, the motorcycle 1ider is flying toward a gigantic hat in order to save a winged beauty in what looks to he a nightmarish version of New York city. Written, produced, and arranged hy Steinman, there are 11 songs which take up a full 75 minutes. The first single, 'T d Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That),'' takes up a whole 12 minutes on the al hum and is hy far the best song, putting the much shorter radio version to shame. It begins with what sounds like a motorcycle engine and ends with a beautiful exchange between Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler. At one point she says, "Will you make me some magic with your own two hands? Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?" to which Meat Loaf responds, "I can do that!" But when she says that it won't he long before he cheats on her, he says "I won't do that!" The other songs are also well written and performed. Steinman' s use of cliches for titles such as "It Just Won't Quit," "Objects In The Rear View Mirror ·May Appear Closer Than They Are", and "Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire)" are also well done. His lyrics are vivid and filled with imagery. For example, there is the scene he creates for "Out Of The Frying Pan": "So wander down the ancient hallway ... taking the stairs only one at a time. Follow the sound of my heartbeat now. I'm at the room at the top, you' re at the end of the line." The fact that the songs are so long ("Objects" goes for 10 minutes) is a nice change from the usual three to four minute tracks that dominate the charts today. Praises can ' t he sung for every track on the album . The instrumental "Back Into Hell" isn't very exc1t111g and Steinman' s dialogue in "Wasted Youth" may he initating to some.

Featured were the Amusitron video game, Lip Sync and Karaoke Music Videos. In the Interactive Music Video, participants were even able to watch themselves model designer fashions or play baseball for their favorite team. Students were able to take home copies of themselves in semi-music stardom. With props like guitars, wigs, and costumes, some videos really came to life. Popcorn and soda were provided by the Physics Club. There were mixed opinions to the virtual reality expected on campus. According to Chris McMahon ., "It was just videos supetimposed on a blue screen, instead of actual interaction with the computer." However, Wayne McDonnell, a Wilkes senior, seemed to enjoy lip-syncing to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Said McDonnell, "I never did it before. It was a great experience." ----------- ---·- -----------------------~-•.-----' Tomorrow Let's Meet At The WOODLANDS: for 5-DAY A WILKES UNIVERSITY Tradition ....... .

There have been propositions in the past to have a shuttlchus transport people between campus and the parking lot at Ralston field every 15 minutes , hut nothing has come or it yet. There is good news, however, in that Wilkes will soon hegin the construction of a new parking lot. Until this happens, the prohlem of parking will continue to affect many commuters. �SEPTEMBER 16, 1993 THE BEAC Ambassadors (co ntinue d from Page I ) he lp w ith the recruitment process at the university. According to the group's plan , these student amhassadors wou ld he responsihlc for manning the campus tour system , visiting loca l high schools with th e admissions staff, and representing the student hody at alumn i ac tivities or special campus events.

I DS I I I While many ofus on The Beacon staff are 4uite outspoken hold firm opinions on controversial suhjects, as a collecunit, the members of The Beacon endorse neither side of troversial issue in the pages of the paper. As a newspaper, not our place to have such collective views or to convey al opinions to the public in the news section of our paper. ·such as endorsing candidates go against the grain of our al code as journalists. We are simply a neutral observer recorder of the facts. We do, however, value the freedom of speech and of the . This is quite different. All organizations, businesses, individuals should and do have the right to voice their ion. This fact is a fundamental right of every American. Americans may express their beliefs in many ways and one U.:m is through the use of paid advertisements in newspa.It is the questioning of this right by a community member prompts me to write this editorial. Irt:cently received a letter from the Director of the Wyog Valley Chapter of the Human Life Resow:c~ ~ent~r ing "I was sorry to see the ad for the ahortion clime 111 this pt. 21 edition. Knowing what an upstanding university llkes is, I am appalled to think they would take blood money part of their ads." First of all, this advertisement was simply a contractual ment between two business entities. The clinic inquired tad space just like any other place of husiness who was rested in placing an advertisement in our paper would. The ntown Women's Center has as much right to advertise in paper as the Subway store does. The Wyoming Valley apter of the Human Life Resource Center would have the right if it inquired ahout advertising in our paper. Secondly, running an ad and advocating an issue are two erent things. Nowhere in the September 2 issue orthe paper The Beacon staff advocate either side of the abortion pule. It is against our ethical code at The Beacon to orseeither side of an issue. In fact, we have a wide range opinions when it comes to controversial issues and it's otful that we could ever agree on one aspect of an issue to orse. As for our readers, it is up_to them to form their own inion on certain matters from the facts we print. Jask you all to open your minds and take advantage of the • om ofspecch guaranteed to us all hy the First Amendment the Bill of Rights. As for people like the director of the yoming Valley center, I hope you can understand our position and respect us for our ethical code rather than condemn us for your own opinions. By MICHAEL BUTCHKO News Editor Well, another week, another pint of blood, so to speak. The national scale sees perhaps the greatest development in international relations since the Camp David Peace Accord, at least when the topic or discussion i~ the Midd~e Ea~t. _Mm~day's meeting in Washington brought all the political luminaries to the lore. All ol the ltvmg former presidents were there, giving the event a historical feel. Call me a skeptic, but the chatter I hear just isn't sure. . What we are dealing with is a relationship based on hostility and fighting. Do you , Sil' or madam reader, think that a document signed in a country the Palestinians despise will carry any weight? Upon the signing, will the residents of the Gaza Strip put down their weapons and embrace the treaty? For all pmties involved, l certainly hope so. Retired General H. Norman Schwarzkopf was a guest on the nationally syndicated "Imus in the Morning" radio show on Monday . His main comment was that Chairman Ararat "wasn't exactly the type of guy you want to buy a used car from." Way to call them as you see them, General. Now to the tmly pe1tinentissues of the week. I feel compelled to respond to my fellow Beacon columnist Joseph Rae who last week took great delight in the New York Mets being in seventh place. Well, Mr. Rae, I hope you enjoy this year. As a matter or fact, on behalf of all the ~ets fans, I hope you enjoy the four-game sweep the Phillies will sutler to the Atlanta B_raves. It they get that far, that is. Can anybody say 1964, the year when the Phillies blew a lead 111 September to the Cardinals? If the Phillies should succumb to the Expos, and don't we al I pray that they do, then I suggest a mascot change: from the Fanatic to the Choking Yellow Dog. P.S., Joe : the Mets won 108 games in 1986, and no one has touched it ever since . Think your hoys will get close? Think again. And speaking of sp01ts: who told you that the Braves would sprint past the Giants? Yes, Sp01ts Illustrated offered me a job, but I respectfully decline~. . Wilkes football is 1-0. Personally, I think these guys are gomg to surpnse a great many people this year. But what do I know? , . .. . The response to last week's column about my run-in with the friendly law ol11cer was mixed, to say the least. The most inspirational comment was, "He shm1ld've thrown the book at you!" These are my friends? . Besides the meeting oflsrael and the P.L.0. in Washington, this has heen a pretty 4u1et new~ week. Maybe I'm in the mood for some scandal. We weren't finished with that Rostenkowsk1 fellow, were we? The new surgeon general of the United States, Joycelyn Elders, is married to the wi_nningest high school basketball coach in Arkansas history. I think that's a good enough reason tor a vote to confirm, isn' it? In honor of the slow news week , I offered the services or Seymour Butz to the local Times Leader for a proposed editorial on women's rights and why they shouldn't exist. Sur risin 1 , they turned me down. The absolute nerve of some people.

In an interview with Pro- fessor Brad Wright, director of theater, he explained the importance or the productions at Wilkes. 'The plays that we do are really our lahorntories for learning. They are not something extra. They are one of the most important aspects of our program hecause we can only teach so much in the classroom setting." He went on to explain the gaged, and engaging, very talented, and very exciting. " And that they are since the theater department is cmTently running two shows in sucession. The first show "Charlie's Aunt" opens October 30.

Ask Wright to desc1ihe the theater department and he will tell you "active, involved, en- heart-;. However, things go awry when the aunt shows up. The second show to open on November 4 is "Antigone," a classical Greek tragedy. The Wilkes players will be perfonning a new translation of this classical piece which will make it more easily understandable to the audience without losing the beauty of the poetry. With these shows sitting on opposite ends of the spectrum, it becomes necessary for the de- partment to he very diversified. The department has this talent in their nine returning students, 11 freshmen, and two transfer students. For those or you who have seen a production at Wilkes, you are aware or the highqualityperfonnances. High standards are kept by W1ight and John Swanson, who try to instill these standards in their students. Wright stated "We really love what we do and ir we can lead hy example in that way, it is very important and exciting, and also very fun for us." This spirit can easily he found in the students. Joe Ramus, a junior, explained, "I love acting, I love theatre, it's what I've always wanted to do." Junior E1ica Newhcrt also displays high standards. Newhert says, "Theater is rny life, it is what I have always done ... I would like to sec the department get bigger and it woukLhe really nice if we could get some more money from the administration. We only get enough money each year for what we would like to do ror one show. If we could get more money, we could do higger and better things. We could do musicals, which is what I think the students would like to see.'' The students really enjoy hcing in their department and enjoy gaining all the necessary ski Ils needed for after graduation. Senior Jaimee Kutz already has ajoh as general manager or the Northern Lights Playhouse 111 Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. "Wilkes was a very well rounded learning experience for me in the theater. I worked a lol in the technical area lights, sound, set, and special effects ... and now it has lead to a full time opportunity. Wilkes did that ror me.''

Wailing Souls played a one hour set of original reggae music. They also included a coverof the Talking Head's song, "Why Why Life," into their set. The group was well received hy the audience. Arter a short intermission, Dylan was introduced . . He appeared onstage in a blue shirt, black vest and black pants, clutching an acoustic guitar with a harmonica rack hanging around his neck. His four piece hacking hand was the same contingent that hacked him last year at the Kirby Center. Dy Ian's portion of the show was divided into three parts. The opening electric set included classic Dylan songs such as "Stuck Inside or Mohile with theMemphisBlues,""All Along the Watchtower," "Silvio,'' and "Every Grain or Sand." The four song acoustic set came next. In this, he included a version or his classic, "It's Al I Over Now, Bahy Blue,'' with a great hannonica solo. Arter this, Dylan once again strapped on his clcct1ic guitar for a run through or "God Knows" from the 1990 alhum, Under the Red Sky, and a very fast version of"Maggie' s Farm" which ended the show. For an encore, he introduced his hand and played a hlisteiing version or "Ballad or a Thin Man."

The Colonels opened up the scoring in the first period when quarterback Boo Perry hit Ryan Alston with a 45 yard scoring pass. Kicker Joel O ' Donnell added the extra poinl.

Taylor received her undergraduate degree from Alexandria University in economics and political science and her Master's degree in economics from Brown University. Her Ph.D . is from Clark University. While Taylor is the veteran, Giamartino refers to himself as the "freshman." Giamartino was a member of the business faculty at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia and it was the opportunity available here that made him shift gears toward Wilkes. "It was too good of an oppmtunity to pass up," said Giamaitino of his transfer to Wilkes. 'The description of the school fit well with my interests and experience." His experience is working with business executives and political leaders. In 1988 Giamartino received a Fellowship in International Development from the Kellogg Foundation and Partners of the Americas and recently he has been working on a linkage between American and Polish Executives through the United States Information Agency . Giamartino will, in his new capacity, oversee the faculty and curriculum of the School of Business, Society and Public Policy, whjch includes the accounting, business administration , economics, international studies, political science, pre-law, sociology/anthropology depa1tments as well as the M.B.A. andM.H.A. programs.

Let ' s Talk" with Boh Hall. Hall mixed humour with the serious topic or sex and its conflicts . Along with some audience participation, Hall expressed the sexual pressures which exist hetween college students. He was very straight fo1ward and open ahout sex and topics relating to sexual activity, without feeling awkward or uncomfortahle in front of an audience. Hall spoke to the audience memhers as if each of them was having a one-on-one conversation with him. He pointed out how most students, especially freshmen, are in college with new people which results in new sexual pressures. The first half of the 90 minute program mainly talked ab out sexual activity: what it is, the problems, the diseases, and the douhle standard hetween 1m;n and women. He covered how men are known to he studs if they are with a great many women, and how women are referred to as sluts if the situation were reversed. Aloqg with the douhle standard in our society, he pointed out the sexual pressures and expectations both men and women have or each other. He also made clear that "blue halls," the term some men use as an excuse to have sex, is a myth. Hall stated that indeed it may be painful for the male, hut the pain isn't damaging to male genitial organs . Hall also explained that in order to relieve some of the awkwardness when one is out on a date that communication is the key. In order for the date to go well, one should ask his date, "Is this o.k.T hefore proceeding with any type of intimate behavior. For each lecture he performs, Hall comes up with a saying to make the audience memhers rememher what their personal values are and how they can control their sex drive. This past Tuesday night's saying was "Just 'cause were dating, don't mean we're mating." ln closing, he asked if by today's standards it should read "Just 'cause were mating, don't mean we're dating." New Beacon staff In last week's Beornn, we promised the remaining introductions of the Editorial Staff. Due to the Lahor Day break, a few memhers the or staff were unavailable for the article. Next week's Beocon will contain the remaining intniductions . 9, 1993 Idle Chatter by Michael Butchko The other day, the Associated Press ran a cute little circle graph, the result of a poll of voters asking them where government spending should he cut. At the top of the list (not surprisingly), were welfare assistance programs. I pondered this for a minute, then moved on to other impo1tant thoughts, like if the Braves would ove,take the Giants or how much sleep I would get that night (hoth answers will appear in next week's Beacon.). A few nights later, as I was driving through the financially strapped town of Fo1ty-F01t, an incident occurred which made me reconsider the circle graph of 1 the Associated Press. Forget welfare reform, gang. It's law enforcement that needs work. I pulled into an empty parking lot, turned off my headlights, and after finding the tape (which took about five minutes), I proceeded once again. To quote the old Seagram's ads, 'This is where the fun sta11s. " As I went down a side street, I noticed a police car coming out of another side street. I continued on my merry way; officers are our friends, and I have nothing to fear, right? Wrong. This clown with obviously nothing better to do, hegi ns to tai I me. I made a right and then a quick left-hand turn to see if he was indeed following me. Yes, Osifer (NOT A TYPO; I SAID "OSIFER!'') Jones was on my hutt like maggots on a rotting piece or flesh . Wonderful imagery, huh·) It was Saturday night, and myself and a friend decided to go out to play a round of miniature golf and drive a bucket of golf halls (I have a fierce golfing hahit). After this, we went to Tommy's Pizza Corner on Market Street in ](jngston for some pizza. It was still early, around I0:30 p.m., so I suggested that we do a little cruising to see if some of our other high school friends had come home for the holiday. Ahout an hour later, I was proceeding south with my vehicle on Route l l in the borough of F01ty-Fo1t (enough police talk!). I was searching for a tape on the floor of the hack seat. Not wanting to cause an accident, Nevertheless, I remained cairn. I decided that the hest thing to do was to get the hell out of Fo11y-Fo11 (which is most likely a lifelong dream of 99 percent of the current residents). But Osifer Jones was too smart for a college student like myself. He pulled me over in the parking lot of a closed Keyco store. Very appropriately, because the osifer, like the items in Keyco, came in hulk. After handing him my license and registration, I began to answer the questions he posed to me. After a few minutes of him accusing me of not "staying in the line of traffic" (how original! And ludicrous!), he posed the kicker " Have you heen .,__ _ _;,,_._ _ drinking ?" But of course. The king of stupid questions lives, and works, in FortyFo1t. But I am a college student. What else would he accuse me of doing? After my categorical denial, he proceeded to throw my license hack at me and left. After all of this humor, the hottom line is / this: only when police harassment happens to you can you begin to be bothered by it. Both Rodney ](jng and the incident with the Detroit police beating a man to death with a flashlight bothered me. In no way am I comparing my incident with theirs.

In pasl years the weight room has bee n open from 6: 30 a .m. ·19 p.m. and il worked oul great for everyone. There was ver any problem with this schedule. For those students who nted Lo sta11 the morning off with a workout they were able gt:t in as early as they wanted . As for myself, I always went wt-en I l a.m . and noon . Everyones schedules were different t. it worked. ow, with the late opening, students who have no class in morning and a busy afternoon , have no time to get to the ·ght room. This problem goes for faculty members as well . ~n on the weekend the room is closed until 2 p.m . which vides a major inconvenience for those who actually wake up i,re2 p.m.! There is of course a new man in charge this year. Could that vc something to do with it ? Wh om ever is in charge should ·ously reconsider their new schedule for the sake of all of the dents and faculty members who use the room. Needless Lo say. the new schedule has all of the students and ulty members in an uproar. Some thing musl be done to ain our morning privelages in the weight room . If they are orricd ahoul theft it would he pretty hard to walk away with tair stepper in broad daylight (especially in front of our ·urily). Moving on, there is another schedule change that has the dents in an uproar. The SUB has decided to join the weight room in messing up it's schedule. Although I must admitt they d fix it somewhat in the morning it still could use some unprovement. The SUB is now going to be refusing meal cards while the cakteriaisopen (for those of you who didn't already know) and Ibis is causing major problems with the students schedules. There are so many possible combinations of classes that the 1111dents have all different eating times. In previous years this was not a problem because the SUB a:ceptcd meal cards all day long. There were always designated times as lo when it counted towards breakfast and when ii sta11cd to be lunch, however, it still worked. There is no reason why there should be any problem with keeping the SUB open to meal cards at all times during the day . 9, 1993 PAGES Letters to the Editor To The Editor: As of the new 1993-94 school year, Morrison Custom Management instituted a new policy for the use of prepaid meal cards at the SUB . The new policy limits the time of day that meals can be purchased on a cash equivalency basis . Previously, meals could he purchased from the time that the SUB opened until 8 p.m. Now, the time of day that cash equivalency is permitted is seriously limited mostly to the times that the Pickering Cafeteria is closed . This new policy is unacceptable to those who used the SUB as an option to the fare offered at the cafeteria. Sometimes the meal offered at the cafeteria is just plain undesirable to the consumer. In instances like this , the SUB was a viahle alternative because there existed a somewhat large array ofchoicesavailahletotheconsumer. Now the students Wilkes University arc at the mercy of Morrison ' s due to the fact that there are no other estahlishmenL'- availahle to the student that will accept the Wilkes meal card . This dilemma poses quite a problem for students that find this new meal policy unacceptable .

Each Ap1il I have visions of pennant glory and the sweet smell of an October evening when the roar of the crowd brings the long awaited glory to the hearts and minds of the faithful, simply to have those dreams crushed by the damning reality of poor talent and inept management. Each summer I'd lie awake drowning in the static sound of the AM radio as the Phils floundered in futility. Next year, I thought, next year. ..

But I see the kind look of disbelief in their faces as eyes slowly wander back to the television, which is turned to The Basketball Channel, as Dick Vitale, now 107, explains the advantages of the six-point play. For now, I'm damned happy, enjoying that warm, fuzzy feeling that only winning can bring. However, on the downside, I find my self becoming more and more forgetful on everyday matters (such as taking out the garbage, weaiing underwear, concentrating on my thesis "The Emergence of the Designated Hitter Rule and the Decline of the Socio-Economic Structure of the United States," etc.) It's all worth it though, to awake each morning, coffee in my hand, dog at my feet, and the sports section or the newspaper spread in front of me with the words J most love to hear staring at me . . .

Ralston Field is equipped with 300 parking spaces and would be furnished with a shuttle bus to get students from there to the university.

For the hroken-inseniors the change is eas y lo make hccausc the upperclassmen all know that this will he their last year. The seniors have already sci their minds on graduation and they have hcgun to enjoy themselves !'or lhc duration. However, for a heginning freshmen , this change can turn into a nightmare . The scariest thing lhal happens is the meeting of one's roommate. This experience can he holh pleascnt and horrihle depending on the situation. Usually the degree of compatihility between roommates drops as the stress level increases. (Aren't you glad you know that now'I) There arc Llrns.:: matches that result in l"ricnds for life ; however, these arc rare. Anoth er hig step that can drive a freshman crazy is the switch from mom 's kitchen food to the cafeteria selections . This is prnhahly the worst adjustment for any newcomer . One of the things people tell you hdore you go away to school is to watch oul forlhe "freshman I ."i." The only way a freshman gains these dreaded I ."i pounds is hy NOT eating al the cafeteria and ordering out. In fact, hy eating only at the cafeteria you can lose l ."i pounds. In addition lo lhe adjustment lo the foud there is also a switch lo a different time schedule for meals. This not only pertains to the cafeteria hut the SUB as well. (The new hours of the SI 1B seem to have the students in an uproar ,hul I am getting ahead of myself.) I think the Brady Bunch sang il hcsl : "When ii 's time lo changc, you've gol to rearrange ... ,'' hecausc this is exactly what evcry newcomer must do. Although this rearrangement may feel like lhc dillcrcncc hctwccn heaven and earth, il is the hesl thing that could ever happen to a frcshrP.cn . The change thal lakes place hclwccn the first months and the last months of classes is rc1narkahle for many. (However, there arc those of us who will never change.) A freshmen's independence slowly strikes, their parental units lose power and their "High Schoolishncss'' finally l'adcs . What docs il leave'' ll leaves a group of people who are cager lo learn and gel on with their college career (hopefully) . The change also opens students' minds to all of the opportunities this campus has to oiler. _ Then hdmc you know it, the freshmen of this year are the seniors of I lJlJ7 looking hack and saying, "I was never that had, was IT So, for all of the freshmen, hang in there!

My counterpart seems to believe that women "overpack" in order to a man carry their luggage. That is an absolutely ludicrous (translation: ty male) contention. I, on the other hand, believe the issue runs slightly . That the tendency of a female to bring more "stuff' is the result of two gly gender-related traits - those of preparation and sentimentality. s, according to my statistics (and those are the only ones that matter ur), generally rank higher in both of these categories. So while the Boy Scout's motto may be "Always be prepared," it is lly a female who always has the Kleenex you need, the map you males w forgotten (or claim not to need), and the remote control that was hidden lhc heer bottles and empty chip bags from the Monday night football game. complaining, I may as well get the female favorite in.)

Sentimentality is similarly treated by both genders.

While my dear Seymour and his buddies are grunting ·sons or who scored the most runs, or at least got on base, the night before, remember their first kiss, their last kiss, and all those in between by ng little mementos. What results, for females, is a dorm room full of kmemories, all or which must be canied back and forth between college c; for males, a picture wall of bare necessities whose names are Bambi di. (Don't you wish.) So guys next time you look at the girl next to you loaded down with seven m:;oniteas Seymour said (even helter alliteration), pick up the bags, and ofitasa lesson in improving your skills of preparation and sentimentality. · that's what she said for this week. ----- here). --------- With the return of school on August 25, summer as Wilkes students know it came to an abrupt end. Most of us, I am certain, were surprised by the proximity of this fast approaching deadline. For the men in our audience (translation: the only ones who can under~tand "proximity"), the task was a simple one. When packing clothing, just a few basics, whatever will be necessary for the first week of school, are necessary. For wardrobe additions, the Labor Day break is placed perfectly as the weather changes. Ir it gets too cold, go home over break and add a few things to the old wardrobe. Sounds easy, right? But for the women in our audience it's not this easy. Now before you go saying, "Seymour, just who the hell do you think you are?,'' let me explain. Itis my opinion that women should be allowed membership in the Boy Scouts. They take the phrase "Be prepared" to gross extremes. "But Seymour," I can hear the fair Amanda saying, "what if it were to snow the last week or August? I'd need at least ten winter outfits to get to b through the week! It's better safe than sorry." As a rule for the usage or seatbelts, the ahove aphorism works.To extend the clichc to packing however, is blas-...."'-.._phemy. Not only is it to',,-~,_tally impractical for women to pack so many clothes, hut, as with all ----------- ·,....,°'-instances, when women overdue things, a man must he there to save them. ff--~ A m a n d a brings seven sets of Samsonite (great alliteration) luggage to Wilkes, will she caITy the bags to her room? Yeah, when King's freezes over. No, the fair Amanda will hat her eyes and use her charm, and some poor fellow will be in the Wilkes-Barre General Hospital with a hernia. And I highly doubt that Amanda would even take the time to send him llowers, or even better, a six-pack. While women laugh at our stupidity as we once again can-y their crap up 23,000 tlights of stairs, we, gentleman must stop this practice. Only once women are forced to carry theirown bags will they realize that it's much easier to injure your spine than you think. Until then, gentlemen, in closing what he said, take care and enjoy your traction. Are You Getting the Health Care You Need?

Many or the older homes in Wilkes-I3arre were built between 1865 to 1925. refleeting the economic growth of that era. As Wilkes students, we often rake for granted their beauty, and lack appreciation for the amount oflahor expended to create such works or art.

The Colonels must als o find a way to replace Wilkes' all-time feading scorer, Paul Jellen. The Colonels have only seven letterwinners returning from a team that went 11-6-3 and won the MAC NE (Middle Atlantic Conference Northeast ) championship last year. Phil Wingert, who will be starting his 12th year as head coach at Wilkes, will rely on senior co-captains Dave Unzicker and Dea n Kontometros to provide leadership on th is year's squad. Also returning are juniors Mike Herb and Chris Erb. Herb finished second on the team in scoring a year ago with 24 points, while Erb finished the season with 10 points. Junior Jeff Gocek and sop homore Russ Hiser are also expected to have an impact this season as starters. Meanwhile sophomore Chad Heffner will contribute on the defensive end. T he Colonels will also have to replace goalkeeper Matt Hanes, the starter for the past two seasons. Wingert said that, "right now, the replacement for goalie is a big question mark. It will probably be the key to our success. We need someone to step forward and take charge." Freshmen Jim Silver and Brian Jacobson will compete for the starting role. Wingert feels that "this year 's class has the opportunity to impact the program immediately. With only seven lettermen returning, I hope the freshmen will legitimately challenge for starting roles." The Colonels opened the season at home against Baptist Bible yesterday afte rn oon. The team will travel to Dover, D E L for the W esley Tournament this weekend .

According to Nancy Cordy, Red Cross volunteer, only 90 donors had shown up by 3 p.m ., and few more were expected by the 4 p.m. deadline. "We need 180 by the end. It's very bad," commented Cordy. Jean Bmtley, RN and Red Cross assistant head nurse, called the turnout "the lowest I've seen in six years with the RedCross."Out of90potential donors only 70 units of blood were obtained , due in part to health factors whic h prevented others from making donatio ns. Additionall y, there were only nine firs t-time donors. Ba1t ley cited three possible factors fo r the unusually low tu rn out: the nice weather, a Wilkes baseball game being played that aftern oon and stu- dents laden with upcoming tests and papers . Despite the low turn out there were some students who still felt compelled to give blood . Sophomore nursing major Jason Van Bemmel said, "I feel it's important to help those who need it. Plus , I have a rare blood type : B negative." Students were not the only donors. According to Cordy, donatio ns also came from Wilkes faculty and retired faculty members. Bartley suggested that more aggressive publicity would help the next blood drive attain a higher level of success . She also felt that some of the fac tors which hmt this dri ve will not affect the next one, to be held at the beginning of next semester.

Al Mueller has kept the staff, facu lty and administration on their toes . Andy Gulden made us roll in laughter. Wendy Raughley smeared our noses in the news. Lancer Benson gave us food for thought. Bob Simmons revealed the cheers and jeers. Missie Chinchar reminded us of the game and how to play it fair. Stacy Heck had us in the money and heckled the community advertisers to hang in there with us. Rima Saad got the shots we wanted (and sometimes didn't want while mooning) . Finally, as for me, I just kept the pages coming to you week after week. It's been great fun, folks! We, the graduating seniors of the pages of The Beacon, will undoubtedly miss the late nights, the heated editorial arguments, the free pizza, the sneers from our readers and the disgust of seeing our mistakes in print. Neve1theless, all-in-all we have enjoyed every minute of it, despite the above-mentioned. I'd like to take this chance just to thank a few folks who were important to the success of the newspaper family. Thankyous to: 1. Professor Nolfe, for putting up with our sometimes crnde behavior; 2. Professor Bigler, for stepping in when we needed you; 3. Dorothy, for taking our heat before we even knew what was going on; 4. Dr. Kinney, for the innovative ideas and undying supp01t; 5. Clubs & organizations, for giving us your news; 6. Faculty & staff, for enduring our pressure on you; 7. Administration, for swallowing Mueller's written abuse; 8. The Dispatch, for printing the pages weekly; 9. Dr. Bellucci, Matt and Mr. Stangline, for their computer expe1tise; 10. Kevin McHale & crew, for keeping the numbers adding up; 11. Ms. Lloyd, for all that you do, this ones for you; 12. Security, always making sure we're alright on those late nights; 13. Our families and friends, who waited patiently for us to get home on Wednesday nights; 14. Matt and Keith, for their unprecedented artistic contributions; 15 . Mr. Moran, now gone but not forgotten; 16. Unknown, but you know who you are and you know how you helped; 17 . Last but not least, my daughter Bridgette, who has not been able to be with her mother or even sleep in her own bed for the past two years on Wednesday nights. Thank you all very, very much.

A member of the International Network of Principals' Centers (INPC), the local center will be coordinated through the Education Department in the Wilkes University School of Liberal A1ts and Human Sciences. "This is an imp01tant step for the future development of educational leaders in our region. Wilkes is proud to take the lead in bringing this imp01tant resource to our area and making it available to the educational community," said Dr. Robert Heaman, dean of the school. Established in 1982, the INPC is self-governing and non-profit, with advisory board members drawn from school principals, university and school educators, state officials and others. The Network is an information center, helping members discover and learn more about one another's programs and practices. Dr. Douglas Lynch, chairman of the education department, said the center at Wilkes will offer several unique opp01tunities to area principles and other education leaders. "The courses offered through the center will connect to the real problems principals have in today's environment. For example, courses will include leadership and conflict resolution. The skills we teach will also be useful for lead teachers, anyone in a position of educationalleadership,oranyonewith aspirations to educational leadership." The Principals' Center of Wilkes University will provide opp01tunities for educational leaders to learn and grow professionally and help create a sense of professional commu- nity among educational leaders. The center will also foster the exchange of ideas, to craft knowledge among educational leaders, and work with practitioners in the schools on the development of an advanced degree program in educational leadership. "Thecenterwillfunction as a staff development resource for local administrators. Interested teachers will be able to take role specific courses. We will be able to design specific programs to address the needs of the educational leadership community," said Dr. Rosemary Williams, director of teacher extension programs at 1 Wilkes. A consultant from the ' International Network of Principals' Centers will visit Wilkes this summer to open the new program and offer workshopsforinterestededucators.

He thanked everyone for giving him the opp01tunity to be a professor, a columnist and a broadcaster but said he was lucky that he got freedom to do as he wished. A degree wasn't the only surprise of the dinner. Edwardsville Borough, the Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce and even President Bill Clinton offered words of praise and awards for citizenship to Bigler. Stettler described Bigler as "someone you want to know" and a person whom "you will never feel uncomfo1table in his presence." Many Wilkes students agree.

"There are a few things that I could add," said McCabe referring to the Sp01ts section of The Beacon. Puerling is also confident that the proper changes and improvements will be made to the newspaper. How many changes will be made to The Beacon and where will they be made? "I don't think there will be any dramatic changes," said Butchko. It may just be too early to tell at this point since the new staff has not even had a meeting yet. However, with the loss of this year's columnists Al Mueller, "The Scent in the Wind;" Andy Gulden, "Letters from Wyoming;" and Lancer Benson, "Jumping the Fence;" there will ce1tainly be space left to fill.

Beck felt that by presenting class members with these scenarios, the students would "be able to see for themselves what are effective and not so effective means of presenting themselves during interview situations as they observe and participate in these interviewing situations."

Lazar, Wilkes University graduate student, and Bob Savakinus recently attended the Pennsylvania Young Democratic Executive Committee meeting held in Harrisburg. Organization president Andrew Henshel of Philadelphia addressed the organization on how the various chapters throughout the state could promote political awareness and community service. The Young Democrats were organized in 1932 in order to stimulate in young people an active interest in governmental affairs. The goals of the organization are to help Democratic candidates and to promote volunteer services in the pursuit of Democratic principles to help foster a better nation. At the Harrisburg convention, the State Executive committee charged Lazar and Savakinus with reorganizing and leading other chapters throughout Pennsylvania.

"This class gave me the confidence to go into any situation, know what my role is and how to get the most out of it," stated Wendy Raughley, one of the ten students in the class. When asked about the future availability of the interviewing class, Dr. Bradford Kinney, chairman of the communications depaitment, said because Beck is leaving, he is unce1tain which of the classes she taught will be offered. If there is a topics course to be offered, Kinney would consider scheduling the interviewing class again.

Well, the semester is just about over, aild this is the last fun-filled, action-packed issue of The Beacon you will get to read until next fall. Please, stop weeping, we'll be back before you know it. I enjoyed writing my column this spring. However, I am somewhat disappointed. I recall one letter someone wrote to The Beacon complaining about the "Letters from Wyoming" column by Andy Gulden, my liberal counterpmt. The individual who wrote it said something to the effect that "Opinions are like aholes- everybody has one." He was basically upset with opinionated columns that did not employ factual analysis. This is not to say that columns such as "Letters from Wyoming" are not substantive in their own way. In fact they have a lot to offer in their own right. Someone's personal outlook on something, as well as the employment of good humor, surely makes for interesting, and possibly enj oyable, reading. Feeling that The Beacon had its share of this smt of column, however, I sought to do something different. I hoped to stimulate the closer examination of issues among the readers. Being that my column is usually of conser. vative orientation, I'm sure it ha~ offended many people who subscribe to the university left. However, whether you have agreed with it or not, you cannot deny my use of suppmtive facts and substantive analysis of issues. I was hoping such people would have responded to the promotion on Al Mueller and my page welcoming your responses. Unfmtunately, this does not sell. At least it doesn't on this campus. It's hue that some columns like "Letters from Wyoming" are limited so far as suppmtive research. However, it is also true that columns such as these are catering to the market here at Wilkes. I attempted to stimulate discussions about many important things during the semester. I analyzed aspects of taxation, governmental philosophies, racism, affirmative action, the present administration, health care, the Cold Beacon Columnist War, Clinton's cabinet appointees, etc. Unfo1tunately, while people were writing responses to the "Letters from Wyoming" column, I received no substantive feedback on any of these issues. This proves that most of the Wilkes community is interested in writing blind, non-substantive insults to writers of mild subjects and humor, rather than investigate the world around them and understand their government. This hypothesis is not only supported by the ratio of feedback between these styles of columns. It is also suppmted by my own experimentation. At times, especially in recent issues, I wrote about lighter topics. Also, Ia tel y, I would present a topic in a purely opinionate · manner rather than support an issue from a political standpoint using suppmtive facts. When I made this change, I noticed more people commented to me personally about the column, although no one wrote in about it. The bottom line is that nonsubstance sells. Sure, someone can write in and say, "Opinions are like a-holes ... ," but notice what such a person is occupying himself with: the same type of expression that they purport to criticize. Instead of using their energy to engage in a good discussion on racism or the national administration; they choose to toss mindless insults. It's too bad. I think I offered a good opportunity for people to share in substantive debate on pe1tinent issues. Unfo1tunately, no one responded. As I said, while my discussions consisted of fairly thorough analysis, they were debatable. They were of a conservative slant, and someone could have offered equally substantive responses from a liberal point of view. Furthermore, they did not have to be argued at all. Someone could have easily supported my ideas and enforced my discussions. As a result of all this it is likely that I will no longer write in this manner. I want to give readers what they want. Therefore, I will write on lighter topics starting next s~mester. I will even possibly continue Andy Gulden's Top Ten lists if he grants me the rights to it. Until then, have a great summer!

"He Said, She Said" will appear weekly in the pages of The Beacon "The Potty Proble1n" By PHIL ALDACOMODES Okay, I'm sick of this toilet seat ordeal. I'm tired of women about complaining how us men leave the toilet seat up. Look ladies-we do it for you. IfI had my way, I'd spare the energy. I'd leave the seat down and ee all over it. But no, instead, to be nice, we pick it up to tion of The ladies HE s AID maintain the sanitathe potty. whole premise you use to justify why the seat should be left up is wrong. By saying the seat should be down implies that a wo .___ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _._ -man's release of number one is more important than a man's release of number one. It's a seat with hinges. Therefore, it ----::: should be left up as well as down. Also, women complain about our aim. Hey, when a jettison of a liquid from waist level hits stationary water, there's going to be some splashing. Furthe1more, the stream isn't consistent. It runs out toward the end. A guy has to wobble toward the bowl to avoid a mess. If the toilet seat is down, this whole process can be even more difficult. This is not to mention that Saturday morning sleep-in when the bladder is built up along with something else. Yes, it's a game of inches. A woman's demand to keep a seat down is just a microcosm of how they superficially cover up problems with out really dealing with them. The truth is that the dirtiest part of the toilet is that section of the bowl underneath the seat. You know what mess I'm talking about. Anyway, instead of just cleaning up the mess, like a woman should, they just want to "cover it up." This just gets the real problem out of sight to make women feel better. Finally, it takes just as much effort for a woman to put the seat back down as it does for a man to lift it up. The work is equally divided as each sex can adjust the seat to fit their needs. It's all fair in my book. For once, my counterpart and I agreed on something. We both decided we wanted to introduce this column with a lighter subject. After some wrestli with what I thought were less controversial topics, like how Monday nightfootb should be banned, and what HE thought were gender-free problems, likePMS(ho typical), we settled on the toilet seat controversy. Yes, that's 1ight, this week," and SHE" will address each gender's perspective on the potty dilemma betw males and females. And it is a dilemma. Females have begged their mates for years to put seat down after they've finished their duty in the bathroom . Men, on the other hand; have argued that women should be satisfied knowing that most men can remembtl to put the seat up in the first place. As always there are some basic flaws in this one-sided argument presen by males as a feeble attempt to avoid admitting that they're simply being lazy. ONE - If the toilet seat was meant to be kept up, manufacturers woul never have put a lid on the potty. Lids are generally used forcoveringorsealin products into a container. Why should ~,......,.-~...___ the lid of a toilet any different? As far as potties cerned, it makes even more since in his case, we could dealing with some pretty s ']t'E- ._ _ sightly products. The logical conclusion to all this is that toilets sj '71J'lJ /1_ down. TWO-It seems that men have been operating (and relieving themselves) under the inco1Tect assumption that women are concerned about this potty problem because they are woITied about falling in. True, it is uncomfortable when you~l down expecting a seat and don 't find one, but that's not the real issue here. Wai I take that back (I'm allowed, I'm a woman). That is a part of the issue, otheiwi why would we be writing about this in The Beacon? The real issue, however. is why do men have to put the seat up in the first place? If those extra few inch around the toilet bowl give males an edge, than I'd hate to see any of them aim a weapon (besides the one we're talking about here). How is it that males, who claim to be so athletically superior to woman, who partake in all of this male bondingc (pardon the pun) by shooting basketballs into a 15·inch cylinder and shooting d· at a one -inch bullseye, can't aim for a gaping 12-inch by 14--inch hole in a toilet No wonder women are getting their own bathroom on Capitol Hill. AND THREE - A seat is designed to be sat upon. How can you sit u a seat when it's not down? That's the bottom line, at least according to what SHE said. Guidelines Concerning the Administration of Course Evaluation Forms Like most other colleges and universities, Wilkes University has adopted a policy requiring that all instructors conduct an evaluation of al least so of their courses at the end of the semester. Since the spring semester is rapidly drawing to a close, most students are now completing course evaluation surveys. Students should be aware that the Wilkes has adopted a set of guidelines that the faculty and students should both follow, so that the information gathered by the survey can be fair and useful. Any violation of these guidelines should be reported to the approp1iate department chairperson or dean. 1. Two forms have been approved by the Wilkes faculty; the instructor and Course Evaluation System and the Student Response Form. 2. Courses are to be surveyed dming a regular class meeting dming the final three weeks of the semester, not during the final exam period. 3. The instructor should not be in the room while the students are completing the surveys. Instead, a selected student should disttibute the forms to the class and collect them at the end. 4. Students should be given at least 15 minutes to complete the surveys, thus allowing sufficient time to answer the questions on the backs of the survt:y 5. When completing the surveys, students should respond to each item as honestly as possible and should not discuss any of the questions with classma STRONGLY AGREE G) G) G) G) STRONGLY DISAGREE on Darte rmin g A has been ·onal perf ·es to the versity hearsa theattj Lie of fter gracl1 job sean , competi ss.

" is the theme of the Wilkes University Black Box Theatre presentation of Sam Shepard's "A Lie of the Mind." The theater is located in the lower level of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. The Black Box has been created to give additio nal performance opportunities to theater students at the university and to provide more rehearsal space for the growing theater program. "A Lie of the Mind" is an intense and emotional story of a .hunes Ev.ms ,L~ Jake, Mm·k Zd,mcewicz as Baylor and Ken-i Booth as Beth in "A Lie of the Mind." yo ung married couple with a history of domestic violence. To complicate their relationship both characters have the influences of other dysfunctional family members. As the characters develop they demonstrate the contradictory na- ture of humanity. The play is of mature subj ect matter and contains some strong language. The cast includes Wilkes students James Evans, Kerri Booth, Eric Kowalewski, Torn J armiolowski , Marisa Rae, Carol Kerdock and Billy Joe Martin, j oined by community player Mark Zdancewicz. They put on a very professional perfonnance, and their acting abilities were impressive. The play was intense and funny, and it capt ur ed and held the audience's attention throu ghout the perfonnance. There was never a dull mom ent. The uni4ue set-up or the Black Box Theatre made the performance seem all the more real. There was little separation between the audience and the stage, which made it seem like the audience was part of the performance and was encouraged to participate. The producti on is being di- rected by Dr. Brad Wright, assistant professor or theater and director of theater at Wilkes. Jamie Kurtz is set designer and lighting designer, and Todd Lundquist is stage manager. Both are Wilkes theater ma_1ors. Ticket reservations may be made by calling 831-4540. General admission is $8, $6 for senior citizens and $4 for Wilkes faculty and staff. Wilkes students will be admitted free with 1.0. through support of the Wilkes University Student Government. Wilkes graduate knows how to rock and roll a crowd By LANCER BENSON Beacon stcdf writl'. r After graduating from college, job searching is often a long, competitive, frustrating process. What does Michael Brogan, a 1992 Wi_lk~~·aduate with a BS in environm ental engineering, do to occ_u py his interests during this time? He does just what he always did for an escape between exams when he was working on his degree. H e sings in a classic rock band called Nutz. Known for th eir funk y cover tunes and original songs, which are growing in popula1ity, Mike and Nutzhave heen playing the Wilkes-BaITe area club scene for the last two years. Mike joined the band five years ago; and it has been a big part of his life ever since then. He said, "It s tarted out as a fun thing. After playing a few parties it just became an ongoing thing, and we havn ' t stopped yet." When first starting out five ears ago, Mike had only a slight musical background . He abbled in the guitar a bit, but most importantly, he loved music his whole life. His old Kiss and Elvis records are still on his stereo shelves. As far as singing, Mike had to rely on his musical listening influence to get him started. Since then he has developed into a soli d vocalist. "I just kept watching and listening to old films and tapes ofus perfonning. I learned from mistakes and kept progressing from there, taking it day by day." As far as an overall performer Mike has es pecially excelled. "He has a lot of energy and an extremely strong s tage presence ," said Jeff Nicholson, a frequent visitor of Nutz shows. "Mike can get you worked up and out on the dance floor in no time," said Randy Spencer, another Nutz show frequenter and Marine reservist. "He' s a great front man who really knows how to run a show." "He is such a cutie. I love how he dances," stated a young woman named Nicole as she sipped a white wine sp1itzer waiting for Nutz to take the stage at a recent performance at the Staircase Lounge in Pittston. To say the band is an escape is not to say that it is a leisure tion Pink Floyd's "The Wall." D es pite the flat terin g attention Mike is just takin g it for what it's worth.

I wish to acknowledge tl1ose of you who have made my four long years here at Wilkes University memorable for one rea•;on or another. Altl1ough I may not have found "gifts" forall of you, I want you to know you're in my thoughts. Therefore, being of abused mind and decrepit body, I affinn this to be my Ja-,t will and testament. I hereby bequeath . . . To Scot Romano: You were my first roommate and were able to put up witl1 me for two years, certainly an admirable feat. You helped me through the most painful of growing stages, which all freshman experience in one form oranother, ,md I' II always remember you fortl1at. In a tribute to our friendship I leave you a bottle of Soutllern Comfort. To Diadra Bau: Il' s rare to find your combination of intelligence and genuine warmtll. You helped me through perhaps tl1e roughest weekend of my life, and I'm a better person for getting tlmmgh it. To thank you I leave you a copy of "Next of Kin ." Perhaps we' ll be able to watch it together someday. To Gina Delrosso: You were my first college girlfriend, and you taught. me volumes about life. We've grown and changed togetl1er, and we've had our differences, but we've always remained friends . I leave you a copy of Led Zeppelin's "Thank You ." This song says it better tl1an I ever could. To Karen Gerlach: We've had some great times togetller, but they'll come to an end in 23 days as we graduate togetl1er. Still, I' II always remember listening to Billy Joel into the wee hours of tl1e morning as we tried to decide why exactly it is that life sucks. I wish you tlle best of luck in law school and beyond. To Dr. Bruce Auerbach: I cmmot tllank you enough for your help witl1 tlle arduous law school application process, [L~ well as all tl1e oilier advice you've given me. You' ve made Constitutional and Ciiminal Law u·uly interesting as well. If I mn, indeed, accepted to the University of Colorado, I have you to thank.

To help you out I leave you some unused Top 10 lists. Do witll tllem what you will . To Patty "Trish" Puerling: You' II be tlle Editor in Chief of The Beacon, tlle vice president of Circle K and a solo WCLH DJ. I should leave you a ca~e of Jolt Cola, but you deserve much more for being a great friend when I needed you. To th!! men of Phi Delta Sterling: For tlle first time in my college life I'm finally able to say I live in a place where I don ' t hate anyone. We've had great times together (a few of tllem when we were sober), and to remember tllem I leave you anytlling you cm1 find on Roe's tloor.

To Kristy Hallam: You have the best smile and the biggest heart on cmnpus. I hope that your community service work is able to wake up the ignorm1t people at tllis school.

(continued from page 10) status during commencement exercises last spring and remains an active adjunct professor in the department. A native of the Philippines, Santos began his musical training in the traditional way. He eventually picked up pop music by playing in nightclubs. He incorporates his knowledge of pop music in his music appreciation classes, using examples of this style to illustrate many of the aspects of classical music. Santos, a self-described conservative when it comes to the melodic and harmonic language of his own compositions, believes that "music should be beautiful and sensible." He wants his music to be enjoyed and makes it clear that everything he writes is performed. TOM CRUISE In addition to his involvement at the university, Santos has a busy teaching schedule in his private studio in his home in Swoyersville and serves as organist and choirmaster at the Shavertown United Methodist Church. He writes music for each Sunday service, solos, duets and arrangements of hymns. Santos works closely with his wife, Reverend Harriet Santos, also a trained musician. All three of his sons are musicians and will perform in the concert. Eric is a doctoral student at the University of Michigan, Jason, a 1992 Wilkes graduate, is in the master's program at the University of Miami and Jason is currently a junior at Wilkes.

Some of the columns I wrote drew cheers, many drew hostile responses and a few raised some eyebrows. Throughout the life of this column, however, people have constantly been asking the questions, "What's Mueller's game? What does he want?" Today, I will provide you with the answers. Waylon Jennings' song "Will the Wolf Survive?" presents us with the words, "Sounds across the nation coming from young hearts and minds ... It's the trnth they all look for, something they must keep alive." That's one thing this column is about: looking for the truth. Some people would have you believe that there are only two sides to every story . However, there are countless sides. Each of our stories, like each of us, is unique. Therefore, this column sought to present a different view - one that I believed needed to be heard. As I said to the Student Government when I petitioned for the College Republican Society, "When the first thought is forbidden, the chains of oppression descend upon us all." Every interpretation of the trnth, no matter how off-the-wall, has a right to be expressed. The uniqueness of the story must never die. Thus it was that my symbol of the wolf came to represent the unity this column sought to create among the students. Just as wolves always travel in packs, caring for the sick, the elderly, the young and the infirm, so must the students tend to their own needs - especially since no one else on this campus, save for Jane Lampe-Groh, dean of student affairs, and Dr. Christopher Breiseth, university president, has the desire to do it for them. In fact there are many people on this campus working in just the opposite direction of "divide and conquer." For example consider the on-going war between the English and communications departments. The English depmtment is annoyed that some upstmt program dared to break away from it; whereas, on the other hand, the communications department has done its own fair share of keeping the friction going. Another good case in point is the yearly, pardon me, occasional political convention called "curriculum revision." For what seems to have been every year over the past three years, the various depmtments on campus have tried to grapple with the problem of how students should best pursue education at Wilkes University. Where does it all end? It ends with students being pitted against one another by each of the various camps. However, this insidiousness is by no means limited to faculty. Take, for example, Mr. David Crake. In a recent letter to the editor he implied that, unlike me, he was a student for the students. What he didn 't tell you is that, when a recent policy change came before him as president of the Scholar Society, he promised the group that he wouldsuppo1t and fight for it when he presented it to Dr. Paul Adams, dean of academic suppo1t services. Then, when Adams opposed the policy change, Crake claimed that he had never supp01ted it and never planned to. He also didn't tell you thmhe was unanimous! y banned for life from the local chapter of the National Honor Society in Debate because of his degrading attitude toward women in positions of authority, and because, in one instance, he reduced a woman to tears by verbally comparing her to a pmt of her female anatomy. He also didn't tell you that he has been strntting around campus for the last week saying, and I quote, ·'Now that Mueller's leaving, somebody is going to have to be-the new star of the campus, and it seems that I'll just have to fill the position." Rule one, Mr. Crake: Don't point out the speck in another's eye before you remove the plank in your own. Rule two: Don't forget rule one. Now I'm sure you all are wondering, "If this is all true, why does Al Mueller attack administrators?" The answer is they know all this is going on but turn a blind eye toward it. We are all just pawns in a game. The sad pait, however, is it's not even Dr. Breiseth who is pulling the strings. He is completely innocent and probably unaware that this is happening. Why? He is, by definition of office, a very busy man, so he relies on his fellow administrators and high-ranking faculty to fill in the details . However, it's precisely those people who are jockeying for power, using us as pawns in their wars. Get the picture? I suppose I could have easily turned a blind eye to these problems. After all I am graduating and don't need the aggravation. However, I can't stomach the nonsense. We pay money to go here to learn, not to help build empires. I can't say that everything I said over the last year made lots of sense or that my suggestions will save Wilkes and everyone in it, and anyone who says that I , believe those things is a liar. All I ask is that, before you believe anything people tell you - and this includes your parents, your teachers and your employers - you think before you accept their word. Otherwise, the next howl you hear in the night may just be the dying breath of the spirit of unity that once existed at Wilkes. �PAGE 14 THE BEAC Ch With on the Clock By MISSIE CHINCHAR Well, here it is. My final contribution to The Beacon . I'll make my good-byes short and sweet so as not to provoke any jeers or tears. The last four years at Wilkes have been the best years of my life. Of course I have run into some people that are just impossible to get along with, but I guess it comes with the ten-itory. However, through it all I have learned some very valuable lessons. I'll start by stating the three guidelines of life: 1. Live your life day to day, not boy to boy. 2. Never tell anyone that you are from Tamaqua. 3. Anything boys can do girls can do better. From basketball I have learned how it feels to work together to accomplish something. This past season was "the best" season imaginable, not just on the court but off it as well. If there is any doubt about that, just take a look at our ECAC championship banner in the Marts Center. I'll miss being a part of our family. As for the team next year, I know you guys are only going to get better. That is as long as Land can control the ball and Lee Ann can control her fouls. There'd better be a MAC banner up there soon, you bunch of CHICKENS!! ! Coach Haag, I will truly miss what you have taught me about life and basketball. Hopefully, someday I'll get my chance to coach against you. YOU GO GIRL!!! To my mentor, Tom McGuire, I'll always remember our talks, me doing all of your work and you torturing me with that anti-feminist pig Rush Limbaugh. Someday I'll have your job. Thanks for teaching me the ropes of the S.I.D. business. To my friends here at Wilkes, I'll miss you a lot, but our memories on South Street will never be forgotten. To my roommates: Shawn, "my sparring partner," Cristina, "the pyro," Nicole, "the narcoleptic," and Pudder, what can I say? You've all taught me the fine art of etiquette. Lee Ann, don't go breaking any of my records even though I should be glue by now. Colonel Bob, you've always kept me smiling. Nelson, it's too bad you're not taller - you'd be mine. Jamie and Kuz, you two are irreplaceable. Thanks for pumping me up! Colleen and Stacey, keep those Lady Colonels out of trouble next year when I'm gone. Lord knows I tried (******freshmen). And how could I forget you, Foxy? Good luck next year at Temple Becky. I always knew you'd make it. To Bonnee, Stacy, Lynn, Wendy, Patty and Andy, it's over! I know we've all given up a lot of ourselves to put this paper out. Stacy, I'll see you next year at Ithaca. Go Blue Bombers!! Finally I'd like to wish Dave McCabe good luck next year. At least you won't have to deal with any impossible people. I guess you'll be a good replacement, even though you're from Mahanoy City. As for me, the result of my hard work and commitment to the things I got involved with on this campus is that I'm off to graduate school and coaching at Ithaca College. I guess you get what's coming to you, while there are some people who will be sitting in Hazleton for the rest of their lives (smTy, but I had to get that one in). Wilkes' Multicultural Student Coalition's 2nd Annual 'Slam.ma Jam.ma Affair' brings the court alive WILKES-BARRE--The weather was magnificently gorgeous for this year's Multicultural Stude Coalition's Second Annual Slamma Jamma affair. Thirteen teams entered the grueling 3-onbasketball tournament, playing in round-robin fashion. The teams battled it out until the end. The photos for the event don't do it any justice, but The Beacon 's own editor in chief did, giving her own style of play-by-play announcing. A good time was had by all in attendance. M students who had nothing to do gathered around the Evans court to watch the heated action. P1ior to the final games, the MSC held a Slam Dunk tournament between Mike Herb and M. Rel vis, but for the fun of it they added varsity basketball player Ch1is Parker to please the crowd; Mike Rel vis was the winner of the slam dunk event, scming 84 total points for his four dunks. The winner of the tournament was CB-40: Mike King, Chris Bradley, Sean McGloughlin Ray Monzon.

For some of you it is a time of rejoicing and celebration, you will never have to read my co_lu!Iln again. ~d for my loyal supporters, you can start livmg normal lives once agam. This year has certainly had its ups and downs, but the things that have taken place here will always be looked upon as a learning experience. I have certainly had my share of "trouble" and controversy during my tenure on the staff. But, I am sure if you read last week's column you could see why. And before I get on my soapbox again and start blasting people, probably the same staff, I won't. Like the former sports editor said, "So it's done. So be it!" Now on with the thank yous. To my communications professors, Dr. Jane ElmesCrahall, Dr. Bradford Kinney and Mr.Tom Bigler thank you all for everything you've done for me in the past four years. I have learned a lot about the communications field as well as about life. You all have prepared me for my future as well as anyone could have. There may have been times when it didn't seem like I was learning anything, but I couldn't let you all get off that easy. Once again thank you for your time and effort, it really has paid off. I would like to thank the former advisor to the Beacon , Mr. Tom Moran . Mr. Moran showed me that there is no right or wrong way to write. He told me once that !he best way to make it in this business is write what you t~el and from that, you will get your own style and be successful. I would also like to thank one more former member of the staff, J.R. Rupp. J.R. was my roommate for three and a alf years and he not only showed me how to make it in school, but how to be a better person. He made me his ~ sistant last year and allowed me to do more th~n just r~n and get him coffee. He allowed me to try new thmgs out m is section . I got hands on experience while J.R. was the ports editor. He also helped me this year when some nmentionable things (refer to last week's column) were eing done to your's truely. Thanks Jake for ~verything !! . I would like to thank all the coaches m the athletic epartment for always cooperating, most of the time, wi~h y staff writers. I would like to thank one coach m articular, Coach Jerry Rickrode. Coach gave me a chance o begin my coaching career with his staff this past year and rom that I moved into my own coaching position at a local igh school. I would also like to thank Coaches Joe Kremer d John Dunne for all their help as well. Coach Kremer, eep working on that "jimmy" and some day you may be ble to hang with me! __ . . . . I would now like to thank my staff, Niki_ Si!Ilmoi:is, Bill hilips, Dave McCabe, Mike Holly and M~ssie Chmcha_r. Without the majority of these people? th~r~ is that sarcastic ·cte of me again pointing at o_ne mdiv1dual, the sports ction would not have been possible. Well next year the golden X-acto knife goes to Dav~ cCabe. Be sure you treat it with respect and yes Dave 1t n kill someone if used properly. Good Luck! . Before I leave I would like to thank my pa~ents for all ey have done for me these past four years. Without them ne of this would have been possible. Everyone should ve it this good. . . . That will just about do 1t for this column. Cheers to you I and I'll see you at the bar. MAY 6, 1993 PAGE 15 Aaron Albert: Graduating on time BY TIM SNYDER Beacon Staff Writer College seniors are the first to admit they often need help to get to graduation. For Aaron Albert, a finance major at Wilkes, it took the help. of many faculty and administrators to graduate on time. Albert was injured this past football season during the Colonels' second game. He was taken to Nesbitt Memorial Hospital, where he was told that he had broken his knee bone. Unable to finish the fall semester, Albert realized that he might not graduate in May. He turned to Jane LampeGroh, dean of student affairs, and Dr. Anne Heineman Batory of the business department for help. "It was difficult for me to accept that, after four years of friendship, I would not graduate with my classmates," said Albert. Lampe-Groh saw that Albert's situation called for a humane, "flexible" approach to the university's policies. She suggested Albert could complete his fall semester course work with cooperation of his Wilkes professors and assistance from Nassau County Community College, DELI DIVINE 829-3314 Waitresses, waiters, sandwich maker needed.

His tests and assignments were sent to Nassau , where a local marketing professor proctored the exams. Albert explained that his Advertising projects were changed from group-oriented assignments to research-based assignments on advertisements. His main concern was that the procedure was an inconvenience for Batory. However, Batory didn't consider it an inconvenience. "Aaron was injured contributing to the Wilkes team. It's the least I could do for him," said Batory. Many institutions, when asked to adjust policies to help a student graduate on time, might say to the student,"It's a tough break," but that didn't happen here. Albert is grateful to Wilkes for giving him the opportunity to graduate on time and is proud to be a 1993 graduate of Wilkes University. 1 215-545-JOBS Using Today's Technology to find Tomorrow's Job!

PROPER ID A MUST /DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE �PAGE 16 MAY6, 1993 Baseball teaITI setting their sights on the ECAC Tournament BY BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staf{Writer The Wilkes University baseball team's Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) championship hopes were ended last week. The Colonels dropped both games in a double-header against Elizabthtown College, losing 9-0 and 4-1 . The Colonels then took on the University of Scranton the following day and lost 15-4. "We didn't play to our full potential. Against Elizabethtown, we had a lot of hits but just couldn't score. Sunday , against Scranton , we just carried over the same style of play from the day before. We weren't ready to play," said head coach Bob Duliba. The Colonels recorded 13 hits against Scranton, but could only produced four runs . The Colonels now possess a record of 13-9. With the season coming to a close tests and finals are conflicting with the Colonels' season. "All we can do this time of the season is hold batting practice. It's tough to get a full team to practice with all the school work at this time. School is much more important right now for these guys," said Duliba. The Colonels now have their sights set on winning the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) tournament. The tournament consists of four teams playing two days. The Colonels lost last year to Frostburg State in the first game. "If we win the remainder of our games, the ECAC committee will consider us a hot team, able to compete for the ECAC title," noted Chris Carver. Dave Howard believes the Colonels have made an impression on the ECAC's in the past. "Last year's performance in the ECAC 's will help us for consideration in this year's tournament," said Howard. The Colonels set several goals coming into this season. "One of our goals th" season was post season play Right now we have our sigh set on winning the ECAC tournament," said Bryan Byrne. John Comerford put the season into perspective by saying , "the MAC's and ECAC's are two separate tournaments. The MAC title is always our first goal. Now we're looking to the ECAC's." The Colonels will face some tough teams in order to be invited into the ECAC tournament, which includ East Stroudsburg University and Bloomsburg University. "We will see be tter pitching this year. We heat Bloomsburg in the past," said Rob Michaels. The Colonels now know what it takes to gain acceptance into the ECAC tournament.

Softball ends season on a winning note BY DAVID McCABE Beacon Staff Writer The Wilkes University Lady Colonels Softball team capped off the 1993 campaign with a win over Misericordia last week. Juniors Stacey Boyer and Sandie Warntz led the way with two singles apiece. Boyer also knocked in the game winning run. Freshman Lee Ann Azarewics put the Lady Colonels on the scoreboard with a sixth inning home run, her third on the season. In the seventh Boyer's single drove home freshman Michelle Shaffer to give the Lady Colonels the 2-1 victory. Freshman Tricia Kirk got the win, going all seven innings giving up seven hits. The victory set the Lady Colonels season mark at 3 ·_ 12 (2 - 8 in the MAC NW). Rain wreaked havoc on the Lady Colonels for most of the season, keeping them indoors for most of the preseason and forcing them to play all their games within a short time pe1iod. Senior captain Hillary Blake stated, " It was a really tough season because we played 15 games all within 10 days. We had two months of practice indoors and practiced outdoors only one day before our first game. The weather really got the best of us this season." On the season it was Azarewics leading the way. She hit .404 with 11 R.B.I's to go with her three home runs. Sandie Warntz hit at a .340 clip, knocking in seven runs and setting a club record with eight doubles. Also, Michelle Shaffer (.282), Kathy Moran (.272), Stacey Boyer (.268) and Hillary Blake (.250) all had productive seasons for the Lady Colonels. On the mound this year, Tricia Kirk went 2 - 7, striking out 10 with an ERA of 3.26. Sophmore Gia Andrejko went 1 - 4 with 11 strikeouts in nine appearences this season. The Lady Colonels are looking forward to next season. Losing only one senior from this year's squad should make the Lady Colonels a contender next season.

Chad Lojewski Chad Lojewski, a junior, is a business administration major from Dupont, Pennsylvania. He is a resident assistant and a junior class representative. Lojewski is a member of the Recmitment and Retention Committee, where he serves in the Physical Facilities Division. Through this committee he has revamped the weight room by adding StairMasters and new free weights and benches. Lojewski's other activities include "Wilkes Today," the football team, a volunteer at the blood drive and VISION- a program to help the homeless . If elected, Lojewski says would like to promote the Ally Program, which is a gay, lesbian and bisexual supp01t group, and get more relief for the victims of Hurricane Andrew. He has worked on both of these programs this year. Lojewski says would like to be able to get more students to go to Florida to help the victims because, "it gives you a totally different outlook on life." Loj ewski believes he is committed to the students and the University and, "tries to be diverse and likes to get involved, to meet people and help less fortunate." Andrew Mazzeo Andrew Mazzeo, also a junior, is an environmental science major from South Plainfield, New Jersey. He helped organize Winter Weekend and Casino Night, as well as helpt out on Student Government's Budget Committee. Mazzeo is one of five Wilkes students involved in the Intercollegiate Leadership Wilkes-Barre program, which includes students from Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia, King 's College and Penn State Wilkes-Barre. The students discuss diversity, the media and human services, among other topics. " ...figh t student apathy and get everyone involved... " Chad Lowjeski, Presidential candidate Other activities Mazzeo is involved with are campus clean-up and the soup kitchen at St. Vincent DePauls . If elected, Mazzeo would like to "fight student apathy and get everyone involved." He said, "I would like to promote school spirit. We have the beginning of something with Colonel Bob, but we need to supp01t our school." Mazzeo also has a couple of new ideas he would like to promote. One of them is a marquee at the bell tower which would be "controlled by Student Government and would tell of activities going on within the University." He would also like to develop a student directory for students. \ ;\[\\[ }Y)/\ ~ ~;wtr.H\ P/::f:' Andy Ma zzeo, Presidenlial cwulidate Werner, a new 'boy in blue' in Scranton By BRAD HAYS mit suicide or being there while he arrests a suspect for Beacon Staff Writer Imagine being with a domestic violence.

By The LGBA Executive Board Special to the Beacon Gays, lesbians, bisexuals and supporters marched on Washington, D.C. this past weekend to call attention to the struggle for civil rights for homosexuals. ... The number of people that attended the demonstration is a subject of debate. March organizers and city officials estimated the crowd at over 1,000,000. However, the National Park Service estimated the crowd at about 300,000. The mayor of Washington, D.C. declared the march to be the largest demonstration in the city's history. There were hundreds of events that took place over the weekend, including presentations by Larry Krammer, founder of Act Up, a radical AIDS activist organization; Jesse .Jackson; Joan Jett Black, a 1992 presidential candidate; Eartha Kitt ; Mary Wilson ; Patricia Ire land and David Smith. Some of the groups that paiticipated in the event were Act Up, the National Organization for Women, the Names Project, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the Human Rights Campaign Fund and the Gay Men's Health Crisis. The Wilkes Univer-· sity Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association was also present. On Saturday Act Up help a massive demonstration. Thousands of people showed up to paiticipate in "Hands around the Capitol." As the name implies the demonstrators literally formed a circle around the Capitol Building, demanding more money for AIDS research. The highlight of Saturday's activities was the Radical Fairy Street Patty, which drew a crowd of over 15,000 people to the streets of Washing ton. The height of the weekend, however, was the march (See March, Page 4) -teracting with people. It' s also something different every time," said Werner. Werner does not get paid fo r the internship. However, he does obtain academic credit for interning for 14 weeks, and he gets additional benefits, such as becoming familiar with the officers and getting on- the-job training . Werner got the internship simply by signing up at Wilkes and then signing up at the police department. Both places reviewed his applications, and he was finally offered the job. Werner's responsibilities include writing down how each officer handles a situation and observing a case. He has been with officers during car accidents, suicide attempts, burglaries, phone harassments and fam- ily disputes. However, Werner says that most of the cases are domestic violence or disputes. Neve1theless, Werner did have the opp01tunity to observe a drng sting once. "That was scary because we were dealing with heroin and cocaine. These two people from Philadelphia were taking a bus up to WilkesBarre, and police had good reason to believe that these two gentlemen were smuggling drugs. We had to surround the bus and do a body cavity search, because that's where the drngs were located," said Werner. Werner says that he would like to pursue a career either in the FBI or the CIA. "With a good job, you can get around $31,000 a year. This is good money andagoodjobifyou're not married, but if you' re married you may need to make more money and get another type of job, because you often travel a lot, and it's dangerous ," says Werner. Werner says he is interning as a sophomore because to get a sense of what the different fields are. "I may intern for the probation department next year," says Werner. Werner has advice for those who are thinking about internships. "Intern early, because this way you get good experience and get to experience a wide variety of fields. This intern[ship] makes me think 'Do I really want to do this?,' and I can make the decision as to whether or not I qualify for the police depaitment ." INTRODUCING NEW DOMINO'S TWISTY BREAD!

The public speakers from Wilkes won over 12 major awards as Wilkes moved into the limelight of victory. With a team of only three compe titors the Union squared off against schools from across the nation. Leading the team to its eighteenthplace victory was Al Mueller, a senior communications major from Duryea. Mueller received the highest award possible in the field of Expository Address , Persuasive Speaking and in the Speech to Ente1tain. He also received a rating of Excellence in the difficult event of Rhetorical Criticism and in Impromptu Address. The Expository Ad- dress Mueller delivered was judged to be the top speech in the nation in this category. Also receiving awards were Michael Butchko of Swoyersville and LynnMarie Rosencrance of Wilkes-Barre. Butchko, a freshman political science major, receivedtheawardofGoodforboth his Prose Interpretation and in the Speech to Ente1tain competition. Rosencrance, ajunioralso majoring in political science was awarded a rating of Good for her Single Dramatic Interpretation Of Literature. Both Butchko and Rosencrance achieved another rating of Good for their combined presentation of the Dramatic Duo Interpretation of Drama. Adding to the victory, the team · picked up a first place award for the most outstanding video presentation on the history of Pi Kappa Delta, the national honorary forensic society. The team was also recognized as one of only thi1teen schools in the organization to have an outstanding program. There are more than 200 chapters in Pi Kappa Delta. Since returning from Washington the Union has focused its efforts toward preparing for the last tournament in the regular season, the National Forensic Association's Grand Champion Forensic Tournament.. This year, the tournament is being hosted by Bloomsburg University . Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, director and coach of the Union, expressed pleasure in the team's victory in Washington and hopes that the team will be able to duplicate their achievement at the upcoming tournament. "The competition at the Nationals will bring together tournament champions from all over the country. Wilkes will have an opportunity to compete with the best of the best," said Kinney. To date, the Union has won 80 trophies and awards for the University.

One student, Lisa, said, "It [The Beacon] is not at its best potential. It looks like some articles a:re written in two seconds. I could write an aiticle as good as them." However, one faculty member feels differently about the news found in The Beacon. Irene Cocco said, "The Beacon (March, From Page l) keeps me informed with what the itself.

Another student Diane Menhennett said, "I don't like the campus media but it's very good for the support that they have." Wilkes Today is the only show seen outside of the television studio. However, the program is only broadcast in the lobby of Stark Learning Center. Therefore, the majority of students who watch Wilkes Today are commuters. Students say another problem is that the volume on the televisions sets in Stark lobby is turned down so low that students are unable to hear the show. Carl Brigido, the advisor of the Wilkes Today program, said they are trying to get television sets installed in the cafeteria so that the program can reach other students. Brigida's ultimate goal is to have a cable system broadcast Wilkes Today to give Wilkes publicity and students more practice. Bonning said, "Changes have to be made and I am not the person to make those changes ." (Wiik~~ ·u~i~-~~~ity··; Blood Drive . ... . .• .

His cartoons appear weekly in the Beacon. ------------------------------It's About Dollars and Sense On your first walk through the doors of our illustrious Admissions Office, you are taken by the hand and given the royal treatment. This makes you feel good, as if you are the only person to ever come to this school. Even better, your grade point average from your hometown high school is so outstanding, you are offered a full scholarship for a four-year stay, if you chose to come here. A full four-year scholarship means that you never have to pay the institution any money for tuition, doesn't it? Well, little did you know, as a prospective student, that the real financial matters at institutions of higher learning are somewhat different. A full four-year scholarship at Wilkes can mean that you might have to pay some of your tuition if tuition goes up in the years that follow. You have been given this same full four-year scholarship offer from two other schools, but you choose Wilkes . Why? Because when you came to visit and spoke to people here, they gave you that personal touch and sold you on this institution and its moral standards on what students mean to them . After visiting the other schools that have given you this same package deal, you choose not to consider their institutions because they just didn't give you the feeling that you really mattered to them . You felt like you were just a number and not a name with a heart beat. You chose Wilkes only to find out a year later, after obtaining a tuition paying position here, that in fact the full four-year scholarship you received was only fu ll for tyour freshman year. Next year you will have to pay or not stay. You have your feet settled in here, you're staying. The other colleges have now begun to call you in hopes that you just might change your mind. What would you do if this were you? ILetters to the editor... Dear Editor : I am writing with regard to University policy concerning the cafeteria meal plans. On Monday of this week, I realized that I had forgotten my Wilkes I. D. at home, after visiting there for the weekend. When I went to lunch, I explained my situation to the cafeteria coordi nator and asked if there was a way for me to get a temporary meal card since I wouldn' t have my I.D . returned until later that afternoon. He said he couldn't do that since doing so would require me to obtain a new student I.D . However, since I was on the meal plan, I was told that I could purchase my lunch at the reduced price of $2. This confuses me. It seems that by allowing me to purchase a lunch at a reduced rate, the cafeteria adminisu·ation acknowledges that I am, indeed, on the meal plan, and therefore am paying again for a meal that was already paid for. I reali ze that it is my responsibility to have my I.D. with me, but situations li ke this do happen periodically. Moreover, nothing li ke this has previously happened to me in the four years that I've attended Wilkes. I am curious as to why I was made to pay a second time for a meal. I ask the cafeteria coordinator to please respond to this letter in next week's Beacon, so as to clarify this and related problems . Sincerely, Al Smith 'Tliat 's not a[l f o[k§ !

What makes a man or woman good or bad? Most religious institutions insist that they offer the primary incentive for morality. Furthermore, they may believe that any deviation from moral conduct is synonymous with a deviation from religion. For example a person subscribing to Catholicism behaves morally because he or she is serving God. They are abiding by a guideline of conduct as outlined by the Holy Bible for the purpose of reaching salvation. Consequently, such a person may believe that someone else not interested in these objectives, of salvation and serving God, therefore has no incentive to be moral. I argued this point with my grandmother, who practices her Catholic faith with reverence. She attributed contemporary society's ills to a modern stray from community and religion, reminiscing the old days when . more people dutifully practiced their faith . She said, "Why do you think most people in church are senior citizens while you kids are off drinking and fondling each other?" Challenged to protect the integrity of my generation, I returned, "Because old people have their days numbered. They are frightened for themselves after a lifetime of sin, so they try to make up for it by going to church as many times as they can before they die to avoid hell." Of course we all know our grandparents never fondled each other unless they were married. Hmmm, I believe they made the cars with much bigger back seats in those days. However, I did see the validity about what she said regarding society's growth away from community and religion. The personable nature of the old community surely enhanced the interest people had in their neighbor's welfare. The value of religion is also undeniable. It does govern people's behavior, usually in a benevolent manner, who may not have ordinarily conducted themselves this way were it not for their religious faith. Also, consider the services religion offers its subscribers . It is its own community, gives people a place to belong, stimulates spirituality, etc. Also, look at how it helps its people cope with tragedies and horrors of life. Using Catholicism as an example (since it is my original faith), we are promised to see loved ones again who died. If this isn't motivation to get to heaven, what is? This comf01ts people who face the tragedy of loosing a child, friend, parent or spouse. Such a loss might be too much for a single person to bear were it not for their religious beliefs . It may be the only way some people salvage their sanity. Whether you believe in heaven and spiritual salvation or not, you can't deny the literal sal vation that is offered here on these terms. Unf01tunately, I have lost much of my faith in Catholicism. I envy those who can benefit from religion in the ways described above. It stmted when I had problems with Catholicism's literal interpretation of the Bible. Science would prove a fact regarding the universe or the origin THE BEACON By LANCER BENSON Beacon Columnist of man, but my religion would blatantly deny facts to preserve the validity of its manuscript. They would sternly hold out until something would be so obvious that they would have to invent a new concept like purgatory to defend themselves rather than admit being wrong. The abuse of funds by various parishes and reports of sexual activity and abuse by priests didn't help maintain my faith, either. Reading up on Catholic crusades and missionary conquests to reform "barbaric" but otherwise happy people ifleft alone was also disturbing. The Catholics' condemnation of other faiths, as well as the stereotyping of atheists as mobs of Mansonites, seems unfair to me. Most dissuading is an aspect of the Catholic's supp01t of the New Testament, which establishes God's understanding that mankind is imperfect and thus subject to making excessive errors . This so far is fine and agreeable with me. However, it brings up room for abuse. This idea justifies confessions, breeding hypocrisy. Now people can abuse each other during the week, go to confession on the weekend and receive the sacrament and then abuse each other again the following week. This was illustrated to me most strikingly on Easter Sunday as I was trying to leave the church parking lot. An old woman in front of me was having trouble getting onto the main road in front of the church. Meanwhile, a beautiful family w.as in the car behind me, consisting of a husband, wife and two young daughters about 4 and 6 years old. Suddenly, I heard a horn blasting behind me, and I realized it was the family behind me! Apparently, the father, who was driving, didn't see the old woman in front of me and thought I was holding up the traffic in the church parking lot. Finally, I turned around to acknowledge his horn and, yes, he flipped me off as his two daughters looked over the back seats bewildered and his wife sneered at me. It was then I realized that I couldn't even worship God on my own terms in that atmosphere. However, I realize that, for the reasons discussed before, religion is a needed institution. Despite the hypocrisy of people, imagine how much worse they would be without the incentives offered to them by their faith . The tmth is that good and bad is not exclusive to those subscribing to religion orto those not subscribing to religion. People have their own incentives to act morally . One subscribing to religion may act morally to serve a god or deity . An athiest may act morally because he or she sees his or her existence as not exceeding their time on this planet. Therefore, they may want to make life as pleasant as they can for themselves and those around them, since this may be it. Finally, the agnostic may act morally just in case there is a divine governing force judging us, or, just maybe , an individual can love himself, his world, the creatures around him and his brothers and sisters without a reason at all. by Al Mueller I'd like to thank Jim McDermott and Brian Hnat for writing to me. Of the four pieces of mail I received from students this semester, I thought half of it came from the cast of Arsenio Hall's show, a group of egotists patting themselves on the back in an attempt to reassure themselves that they are the greatest examples of humanity to ever walk the emth. However, gentleman, it is clear that you deeply care about what you do, at least enough to write thoughtful aiticles. For this, I am grateful. I don't expect people to accept everything I write. Rather, I just want to get people to statt thinking for a change. Your letters show me that at least I am accomplishing that much. Thanks . Now back to business. It has been 100 days since President Clinton took the oath of office. When he won the presidency back in November, I predicted that his Administration would parallel that of Grover Cleveland from 1893 to 1897. However, it seems that my parallel was off by almost 60 years, for it is John F. Kennedy that Clinton most closely resembles. When Kennedy faced off against Richard Nixon in the televised debates, he blamed the Eisenhower Administration for allowing the Soviets to gain nuclear parity with the United States. Although he knew no such parity existed, he neve1theless backed Nixon into a corner. If Nixon touched the remark in any way, he would have alerted the Soviets to the presence of American U2 spy planes in Soviet space. So, with the remark still fresh in people's minds, Nixon was defeated, Kennedy took office, and suddenly, no nuclear parity existed. When Clinton faced off against Bush, he blamed the Bush administration for failing to cut the deficit, suggesting that it was well within their power to do so. With this thought fresh in people's minds, and with Bush unable to deal with a new front in his declining political stature, Clinton was elected . Now, all of a sudden, the deficit is too large for any major initiative to have significant effect in the next four years. Beyond political maneuvers, Kennedy had to face a patty, a society, and a nation split over escalations in Vietnam, over the racial question, and over changing societal standards. Clinton faces the same problems, except the faces and names have changed. Instead of Vietnam, it is Bosnia-Herzegovnia, a war that the United States ultimately can never win. The racial question and the beatings have returned . Now they are not in Little Rock or Chicago, but in Los Angeles . Social standards are also changing again; only this time, instead of it being a question of gender, it is more a question of sexual preferences. Where is Clinton' s Administration heading? I don't know, and I don't think any credible commentator can predict it. However, one thing is ce1tain. Unlike Kennedy, Clinton has brought · most of his problems on himsel f. Instead of quietly passing an Executive Order to integrate gays in the military, he announces it to the press. Instead of playing the crowd, he plays the political game. Instead of instituting changes in tax codes, then calling it a benefit for the middle class, he promises big change for the middle class and delivers new taxes . .,-o, I guess, in the final analysis, as the cover of one journal recently put it: "Quayle was ri ht." Mr. Clinton, ou're no Jack Kenned . We welcome your letters to either column!

All of the students that participated received $2,000 worth of chips in exchange for the $5 cover charge. There were several typical casino games available for everyone to play. They included two roulette tables, four different game wheels, a poker table and several blackjack tab les with different stakes. Also featured was Jim Karol, a magician, who performed magic tricks throughout the night. Karol also provided the games for the evening. The tables were manned by student volunteers as well as representatives from the Residence Life Office. Some students managed to lose all of their chips within a few minutes, while others Credit is now available at Wilkes By PATTY PUERLING Beacon Features Editor Wilkes University now has its own credit card. Most students are not aware of the fact that all Wilkes students have the opportunity to apply for a credit card with the Wilkes name and logo on it. The credit card is a MasterCard, and the program is run by the NBNA America Bank, located in Wilmington, Delaware. This card is also available to all Wilkes alumni, and some are eligible for the Gold MasterCard as well. The card comes with no annual fee for the first year which is used as an incentive for students to try out the card. After the first year there is a $20 annual fee. Each time a student uses his or her card, a small percentage of the money they spend is contributed to Wilkes University. The card offers students a good opportunity to start establishing a credit history. It is a chance for students to become familiar with the system before they graduate and realize that they can't get a card because they have no expe1ience and no history. There is also a special credit team that will help any students having difficulties with their card. For more information contact Anthony Shipula, alumni director at extension 4134, or call the Trans National Financial Services at 1-800-2626628, and ask for Suzanne Parker. stayed with it the whole evening. Besides those students who would bet on anything, there were also a few serious gamblers who won big money that reached hundreds of thousands. Others just managed to stay in the game by balancing their winnings and loses. At the end of the night there were va1ious prizes that could either be purchased orauctioned off to the one with the highest bid and the most amount of money. There was also a raffle for a trip to New York City. In order to enter the raffle the students only had to bring a bag to the event. Then at the end of the night the winner's name was picked randomly. The lucky winner was freshman Jon Most. Some of the other prizes ranged from blank tapes and packs of gum to a stereo system, television set or portable CD player. There was a large turnout, and everyone seemed to have a good time. It was a good experience, and it gave many students the opportunity to do something they wouldn't normally get the chance to do.

In fact this is the last actual column I plan to write, since next week's edition will be senior will of sorts. Read it, because you may be mentioned. Anyway, what all this means is that this is my last true chance to set right the wrongs that exist both on this campus and in the world. With that in mind I take keyboard in hand . . . . Item the First: I realize that the final Rodney King verdict was read nearly two weeks ago, but it still merits a brief mention. I feel it necessary to congratulate the residents of South Central Los Angeles and the LAPD for their respective restraint. There were no riots and no reports of police brutality. I initially.J1oped that, with this verdict, although it was not complete in its retiibution, the whole, ugly situation would finally be laid to rest. However, it is far from over. On the day of the jury's decision we were treated to images of celebration, including Jesse Jackson and his followers praying before the verdict was delivered, then cheering after it was read. The participants acted as if they'd won a major victory over an imposing foe. Is the banishment of two men to piison a victory? Should we celebrate at all an event which began with the brutal beating of a somewhat innocent man? The end of slavery was a victory. Rosa Parks refusing to sit in the back of a bus was a victory. The March on Washington was a victory. Those were events smrnunded by a sense of ttiumph over a longstanding evil. The Rodney King verdict is not a victory. Rather, it shows how far we have to go to obtain equality in this nation. Furthennore, I was distressed by the charges against our criminal justice system. It is true that there was a grave error made in the miginal trial and a lesser one in the more recent case. However, these errors are not a result of the system but of the participants. If there are racists making the decisions, then the decisions will be racist, no matter how good the system is. Would the black community suggest that we do away with our present system of c1iminal justice, which seems to be one which minimizes the danger of racist decisions? Would they rather we return to a judge-only t1ial, where one racist white male can send hundreds of black men to p1ison? These are questions to which I have no answer, because I honestly cannot think of a better judicial system than our own. If men like Jesse Jackson were to suggest alternatives, instead of endlessly criticizing the present system, we might be able to make an arrangement which would satisfy all concerned. Until then I suggest that Mr. Jackson spend his time coming up with answers instead of celebrating a Pyrrhic victory. Item the Second: In my continuing battle to promote political cmTectness I must make you aware of a new development on this front. It is no longer politically correct to say "politically correct." Instead, we may only say it when it applies to politics. For example ifl were to say that someone should not be allowed to hold office because of his or her color, nationality. religion, gender or sexual mientation, I am being politically incorrect. However, if I say that one should not be hired for a job for one of those same reasons, then I'm being socially incmTect. I provide this notice of change as a service to my readers. Any mocking of the politically/socially correct movement, either stated or implied, is purely coincidental. Item the Third: I received in my mail last week a request for a $100 donation to the University over the next five years. Those of you who are seniors may know of the pain and the outrage which I have suffered since receiving this lovely surprise. Before I start this tirade I would like to state, for the record, that I do, in fact, enjoy the luxury of an academic scholarship at this institution, and I am truly grateful for that gift. However, that doesn't mean that I'm loaded with cash. I'm sure that most seniors, who don't have most of their expenses paid for by the school, are in even worse shape than myself. Would it be asking too much for Wilkes to hold off on this plea for cash? They want these donations to take place when many of the graduating seniors will still be in graduate school, law school or medical school, when funds will be in even greater demand. Surely the University could wait until we get ourselves back on our financial feet. I propose a compromise. The University has failed to fund WCLH executive staff members with any scholarship money, even though Beacon and Manuscript editors are given compensation for.their time. However, I _spend 15 hours per week at my job as WCLH' smusi<;·director. At $4.25 per hour that comes to a grand total of $1912.50 for the 1992-93 academic year.

Rupp now a public relations staff : member fo r the New Jersey Nets, started last year. The • tradition is ... the second to last issue's column is where you • let all your feelings known. . • Quoting Mr. Rupp, "this is a good way to m~ke a lot ot • people mad at you, but_it doesn't !llatter _~ecause ma mon~h • you'll never see most of them agam and if you do so what. • So with this in mind and me being the traditional guy : that I 'am, and quo ting the ring announcer from Caesar's • Palace, "lets get ready to rumble!" . • This past year has not been a bed of roses here at c~mp : wonderful. We have seen people tell me, the Sports Editor! • what should not only go in my column, but what_ should go • in my section . And like in the past, how the section should : be laid out. • For now we will deal with these three points. • First, I would like to start with the last point and if you • don't think that is the way to do it then may I suggest that : you either put it the way you would like it in your paper or • don't read it. • Point three will be called, "CREATIVIT-y._" . . : Creativity is defined as - creative ability ; art1st1c or • intellectual inventiveness. • This is why I had all the pro~lems ':"'hen it came_time to : lay MY section out, ii:itellectual mv~n!ive~e~s was te~- and • far between here. With that, I don t tee! it IS necessary to : explainthis pointanyfurther. ,. Point two will be called, "THE SECTION." • Since I have only had th is major for almost four years, • graduation is a montl~ away, an? bee,~ on th e newspa~er : staff fo r three I have picked up a tew tln ngs here and theu:~ · • But the one thing that I can remember like it was ye?ter?ay is • that as a section editor you can run juS t about any th mg m the • section you wish . However, it mus_t be re1ated to th at : section. For example, a story on Magic Johnson w?u~d be • perfectly accepted in the sports se~tion. Since th is is an • accepted topic for this particular section then there should be : no problem, but you must rem~mb~r where you are. . • For the record, not only did this story run , so did many • others that were not directly related with Wilkes._ For ~ho~e : of yo u that don't know this, there is life outside ot tlus • campus. • Point one will be called, "MY COLUMN." • Like the title says, it is my column, my ideas, my : thoughts, my feelings. In p~ain E~glish, wh~t ever the hell I • want to talk about in here 1s perfectly all nght as long as I • am not "endangering ihe office." And the good Lord knows : I wouldn't want to do that. • You don't have to like it or even read it, but if you say • you don't like it then you must have read it. The point I a1;1 : trying to make here is that those people that say th ey don t • like what I write in my column each a nd every week • continually :-ead it . Why? .. , : Trust me. I ·.von't lose any sleep it you don t rea? my • column. To those of you that enjoy it and kept readmg it • through out the year, thank you. . • By the way, I didn't let anyone tell me what to wnte. : One last thought. . .. • If you have never put on a j ock strap 111 yo~r hte,a nd I • don't mean women, don't try to talk sports wi th me a nd : don't try to belittle me and my work ~~cause 1:11Y g rad es and • job offers speak loud enough .

Theyaresettingup a student Ambassador programtobegininthefallterm of 1993 . Sandra Crook, a senior communication major from Downingtown explains, "We want to establish a student Ambassador program in order to provide prospective freshman with insight into student life here at Wilkes. We think current students are in an ideal position to convince others of the unique strengths of Wilkes." The 10 -15 student Ambassadors will staff the campus tour guide system at the University, and establish personal contact with many incoming students. They may also represent the University at various alumni and recruiting activities. Wilkes has established a campus stee1ing committee to generate new ideas for recruiting and retention effmts . The task force, which includes faculty, students, and administrators, has focused on student needs as a key in successful recruiting. Dr. Anne Heineman Batory, co-chair of the task force and Associate Professor of Marketing, finds student-initiated efforts, such as the Ambassador program, "the most sane approach to constructing a studentoriented program . Since the Ambassador project will involve student-driven energy and enthusiasm, who better than students to develop what the Ambassador program should be based on?" The 10 -15 Wilkes student Ambassadors will be selected either by self-nomination or faculty and administration nomination . The Ambassadors must possess good communication skills, leadership potential, and an awareness of and involvement in University activities . The students must also be genuinely interested in the welfare of prospective students . The Am bassadors will play a key role in answering questions of prospective students that may not ordinarily be asked of Admissions Office representatives. According to Lynn Krntz, a junior from Drums with double majors in business and communications, "Manyoftheprospective students ask questions about the University's social atmo- by Keith Perks, a sophomore at Coughlin High School litor litor or fanager ager L ,O\l(..~L SA"f Sn~ iAL to the Editor ·ds or less.

There haveeven been a few questions concerning roommate selecti on and cafeteria food." The Ambassador program is the project of six students in the Department of Communication's public relalions class. Dr. Jane ElmesCrahall, class instructor and member of the task force, finds it exciting to watch students contribute to the University in substantive ways. "The public relations students are setting up a model Ambassador program. They have drafted selection criteria, developedatrainingmodeland will conduct a real agenda for Ambassadors ," said ElmesCrahall . In addition to Krntz and Crook, group members include Jennifer Barkus, a junior cominunication major from Tunkhannock; Lancer Benson, a senior from Exeter with double maj ors in communication and english; Samantha Ireson, a junior communication major and biology minor from Indonesia; and Miri Lynn Steinmetz, a junior communication major from Phillipsburg, New Jersey . The students have become very committed to making the Ambassador program a success. "We want prospective students visiting the University to end their visit feeling that Wilkes is a University that they can believe in and we feel the Ambassador program will help them to feel that way," said Barkus. The first full Ambassador class will begin representation in the Fall of 1993 . Applications, which are due April 26, are available in the Admissions Office and at the information desk in Stark Lobby. �PAGE4 APRIL 22, 1993 Featured at Rosenn lecture New York Times columnist, Howard Gelb, to spe WILKES-BARRE - Leslie Howard Gelb, Ph.D., a renowned columnist with The New York Times, will discuss "Tomorrow's World Politics" as the guest speaker for the 12th Annual Max Rosenn Lecture in Law and Humanities at Wilkes Universityon Wednesday,April 26 at 7:30 p.m. The free lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Marts Center.

Every week I pick up my Beacon to see what conservative colu mnists Mr. Mueller anJ Mr. Benson have labeled as pertinent topics. This week I was pleasantly surprised by Lancer and equally sickened by Al. Mr. Mueller looks right past all the glx1J things that collegiate athletics provide for the participants and lists all the side effects and the budget problems that are inherent in all such programs. As a conservative Mr. Mueller is extremely leery of people taking his money and spending it for the common good. An example of this is his ignorm1ce of the new Wilkes field house. Although one-half of the money for the project came from the Wilkes building fund, the other half was raised by the Wilkes University coaches and student-athletes solicitingprivate donations from alumni and the general public . Perhaps if all of the students who were complaining about the SUB and their dormitories helped with the University's annual appeal for donations, enough money could be raised to allow for the improvements that Al suggests. One thing that cannot be denied is that with the recent influx of moneyintotheathleticprogramshere at Wilkes, the caliber of play and the accomplishments ofourathletes have increased ten-fold. To categorize the athletes here at Wilkes with rapists and ego maniacs is a blatant attempt to scm·e students onto your side of the argument. I thank God that your writing skills are not as good as your oratory skills. Here at Wilkes our athletes are not given any credit for their participation, other tlian exemption from physical education. If a credit value could be placed on an athletic endeavor, then after four years of participation in any sport, and maybe even golf, the awarding of a bachelorsdegree in Communication, Team Work, and of course, Physical Education would not only be deserved but earned. Sincerely, James McDermott by the athlete. The fatigue goes beyond these hours as well. Icing a knee into late hours is different from watching TV after a debate trip. It makes it th at much h,u-Jer to fulfill academic obligations which mus t be tended to by the athlete as well. What is this business of professors giving student ath letes academic breaks? I know of many student athletes who failed out of school because they spread themselves so thin. Furthermore, I would be hold enough to say that student athletes ,u-e resented by a few faculty members who ,u-e absorbed by strict academics . With this, it is possible that on occasion athletes ,u-e given bad breaks. What does Mueller mean by saying, "Lord help the professor who gives the student an F?" What happens to such a professor? I Jou ht any feel threatened from giving students the grades they deserved . As f;u- as money allocated to the football team, I say its about time. For ye,u-s Wilkes was the disgrace of the MAC, with the worst facilities. Is it pure coincidence that our team became one of the best around at the smne time some funding came its way? Finally, as f;u- as Mueller's accusation that ego problems ,u-e compelling11ur athletes to contemplate rape, I have to wonder. Lets consider the obvious ego parasite that has infested Mr. Mueller. Is it from his debate team success, nr from playing an individualized sport like golf!

Some forms of affirmative action include quotas for job hiring and school acceptance and government-granted economic benefits such as extended welfa:re possibilities and student aid. The premise that justifies affirmative action legislation is very noble. It is undeniably a valid the01y that needs attention. This premise basically implies that generations of past discrimination and oppression from white males upon minorities, especially against blacks and women, have inhibited the chance for these minority groups to evolve into a position where they can equally compete in today's society. The justification behind affirmative action is that it makes the playing field fair, offering minority groups an equal chance to succeed. While I stated this to be a valid theory, I'm not sure affirmative action is the answer. There are many arguments against the merits of affirmative action that may be equally valid. Most prominent is the idea of reverse discrimination. It seems that affirmative action is using the same tactics (of discrimination) to coITect the problems which were the rcsul ts of the past use of these very same tactics (the white man's discrimination). If discrimination was the origin of the problem, why continue its use'/ Minorities should understand more than anyone the destructive and malevolent nature of discrimination. Sanctioning its use is nothing more than seeking revenge for the purpose of superficial satisfaction. As we will see there may be little true benefit from it. First, hate is reciprocal. ror example a young white male may not have a bone of hate in his hody. He is a product of a more enlightened society. I le sees women as his equal, perhaps unlike his father or grandfather. He has interacted with black people his whole life and respects their equality as well. Unfortunately, he becomes the victim of affirmative action discrimination, loosing repeated job opportunities and school admittance on the grounds that he is not a minority. This is not to say the minorities hired ahead of him did not pass qualification requirements. However, his application, witJ1 equal if not superior credentials, may have been passed over until a qualified minority application was submitted. Is it possible that this white male, who initially was judgmental only on an individual basis, may become hateful toward certain groups? Is it possible that such affirmative action will promote him to subscribe to a life of hateful discrimination'! Proponents of affirmative action wou ld say, "Too bad." They believe that he should pay for the crimes of his ancestors which were the reason for the horrible treatment of blacks and women. But is this fair? Was he even alive then, and even if he was, would he have surely mistreated minorities'/ Suppose his family never migrated to the States until after the slave trade. Suppose his ancestors were sickened by the oppression of blacks and died in the Civil War fighting against it. Can this young, white male become hateful from the responsibility of the world's suffering being forced upon him on tJ1e grounds that he physically resembles those who were, in fact, responsible for it but are long since deceased? Yes, hate is reciprocal. Consider the hypocrisy of affirmative action as well. Civil rights proponents want us all to look beyond gender and racial differences. However, affirmative action is based on these differences. It categorizes us all into these groups and stresses to our consciousness how we ,u-e in fact different, and that benefits should he rationed out according to tJ1em. Now consider quotas. A given legislative district may be 50% female and 30% black. Consequently, a quota may assert that of every 10 applications, 5 of those accepted should be female and 3 should be black. The trouble is that ratJ1er than a minimum, these numbers can become a maximum. Suppose 7 of the 10 applicants most qualified m·e black. A racist employer can then hire only the first three and discriminate against the rest. He satisfied the quota. Does this make all well? What if more than half of the best applicants were women'/ Also, what if, for some reason, more than hair of the best applicants were males? In my opinion there are no winners here. The messages sent out by affirmative action m·e especially disturbing. Often, a minority has to work especially h,u-d for what tJ1ey get, assuming they me overcoming prevailing stigmas attached to them by the rest of society . If such a minority is hired due to their gender or skin color, what message does this send to them'/ Does it say that hard work is secondmy and that only their sex or race matters? Does it infer that they otherwise could not compete in our society were it not for affirmative action policies'/ I wonder what it would do to a person's pride if they were to find out they were awarded something because they are a minority rather than because of all their hard work. Now consider what degrading message this sends out to the rest of society. It may state something like this: "0.K., here are these mi·nority groups. They have to be tolerated and need affirmative action to make their way, since they ,u-e not equipped innately to succeed on tJ1eir own in tJ1is competitive society." How is this tolerated'! Finally, look at the politics involved with affirmative action. Only politically strong minority groups ,u-c represented by the policies. Blacks and women ,u-e ·accommodated. Hispanics are getting into the picture only because of political power. Where do the American Indians or descendents of those Asians persecuted in the Western railroad development fit in? The bottom line is tllat affirmative action is hypocritical despite its noble intention. It employs an "I've got it coming" attitude tllat undermines individualism and capitalism. It is exclusive to those with power and influence. It sends out messages and employs tactics that undermine the sacrifices of our minority ancestry and the developing enlightenment of contemporm·y society. It promotes hate. eit.fieneolu.mn! tile Mtelcome:,ll~)] lf:ftters to lu.siiiiioi;II :::::~~!~~~~~~ ~ ~~,~~ ~~ ~~~ ~ailuoimiBea«an::1ai!~~~; While a lot of people have gripes about Wilkes, ve1y few have 1d how to improve it.

The electrifying musical drama, in two acts, is a collaborative effort of the students and faculty of the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Wilkes University. This new tradition of opera at Wilkes has been sparked by growth in both music and theatre programs at the university. Associate Professor of Music, Bruce Reiprich, ism usical director for the production, and Assistant Professor of Theatre, John S . Swanson, is drama coach and scene designer. Reiprich describes the opera as bordering on musical theatre. He also states that Menotti is known for the accessibility of his music to the public because of his strong sense of melody and tunefulness. The story of The Me- dium is that of a seance gone bad. The main character, Baba, is a medium by trade, and an imposter. She holds a seance for the purpose of making contact with the deceased children of three other players, Mr. and Mrs. Gobineau and Mrs. Nolan. The plot develops as Baba gets caught up with her own deception and confuses reality with fiction. This opera is full of m_y stery and suspense and offers surprise throughout. The story involves seven characters. Members of the cast, all of whom are students in the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Wilkes, include Heather Petruzelli as Baba, the medium; Patricia Gardner as the good, innocent Monica; Susan Kelly as Mrs. Gobineau; Peter Murphy as Mr. Gobineau; Dana Belson as Mrs. Nolan; and Joseph DeMuro as toby, a mute. Amy Kahanowitz, a freshman theatre major, will be a stage manager. Members of the orchestra are Wilkes students Diana Amari, flute; Maryann Kasko, oboe; AlbertCigarski, clarinet; Ch1istopher Gallo, trumpet; Rebecca Shoemaker, French horn; Keith Nichols, percussion; and Ryan Kofron, piano,joined by Wilkes alumnus Peter U ritz, piano. The stting section will include the members of the DaPonte String Quartet, Ferdinand Liva Jr., and Gabriel Gordon, violins; Mark Preston, vio!a; and Myles Jordan, cello; with bassist Perry Orfanella, a Wilkes adjunct faculty member. All performances will begin at 8 p.m. Tickets are $8 general admission and $4 for students and senior citizens. Wilkes students, faculty, and staff will be admitted free of charge with I.D. as will King's College students. For information and ticketreservations call 831-4540.

Your name is David Koresh There is, of course, no doubt what this week's top story is. We have finally seen the end of the debacle in Waco, Texas. There is, however, one question which remains: What the hell happened? Of course both sides have vastly different stories. The government claims that the cult committed mass suicide, while most of the few survivors of the inferno claim that the government set fire to the buildihg. I tend to side with the good ol' U.S. on this one. True, our military has Ii.ad a history 9f shady dealings (see Cuba, Vietnam, Panama, Vietnam, Iraq and Vietnam), but those events all occmTed over wide areas and after months (if not years) of covert planning. WaGc, on the other hand, took place in front of the greatest number of reporters since Socks' first visit to the Presidential Litter Box. It would be very difficult for our military to attempt such an undercover operation in front of approximately 2 million cameras. Fmthe1more, unlike the other situations, Waco is not a nation with millions of innocent people. Every person in that compound was a criminal or at least present in the midst of a criminal By ANDY GULDEN conspiracy. True, there were young children, but it was Koresh, not the U.S., who was guilty of holding them hostage against their will. Babies were regularly beaten, and, according to survivors of the blaze, the children were injected with a poison which eased the pain of the fire.

"Money! I love the look, the smell and the feel of it. I love money." , This is a line from the movie Oth er People's Money, but how appropria~e this is now in sports. It seems that the players are getting greedier and greedier each season. I know that this is their profession and that this is what puts bread on the table for their families . However, with some of the salaries these guys get, bread companies would not be able to keep up with the demand. Look at Jimmy Jackson, a professional basketball player for the Dallas Mavericks. Jackson held out most of this season because he didn't like his team . However, the Mavericks fired their coach, effective when the season is over, and Jackson decided to play in the remaining games. The catch is that he will be paid about $2.5 million for this season, which for him will be around 27 games. His contract is for six years at a piice of $20 million. Plus, he got a signing bonus! Here is a man who has never played a professional game but is getting paid this type of money. Let's not even discuss Mr. Jordan's pay check. This is not only happening in the NBA It is going on right now in the NFL, and leading this charge was Reggie White, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles and now with the Green Bay Packers. White had stated that he wanted to play for a team that had a chance to win a Super Bowl. No offense to any Packer fans, but I'rh not so sure this is where White is going to walk away with the Vincent Lombardi Trophy. So, the question is: Why did he go there? Possibly for the money!! However, White says that the cash had nothing to do with his decision. Yeah, right, and I'm the Easter Bunny. If this sounds like sarcasm then I've made my point. . No t to be left out in the cold, baseball has its share of over-paid players. _ . . Leading this group was J-onner Pittsburgh Pirate and new San Francisco Giant Barry Bonds. Bonds is a very good regular season player and does deserve a little money in his pocket, just as the abovementioned do, but Bonds has a problem. It's called postseason. See, when Bonds gets into the post-season, his batting average goes where the birds go in the wint~r: south. What has happened to the world ot sports? Has it become a world of big business? . . I feel that the answer to the second quest10n is yes. Unfortunately, we the fans may be the cau~e for it. How can we be the cause? We contrnue to pay for a ticket to go see our favorite star perform, and the owners know that, so they' can raise the prices of tickets, thus enabling them to pay the pl~yers' sal~ries_. , , My grandfathe r, who 1s now rn his early 90 s, cant believe the salaries of the players today. He once told !ne that if guys like Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio wer~ rlayrng_ today, not only would they have to be paid m1lhons of dollars but also own and coach the team they played on. Sports has changed, and, unfortunately, it's not a change for the better. := tch11S<Jliih : 1111111 22, 1993 PAGE 11 Colonels set their sights on MAC Championship By BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer The 1992-1993 Wilkes University baseball team has earned an impressive record of 12-5 so far this season. The Colonels have won their last three games, sweeping Juniata Collage in a doubleheader and defeating Moravian College. Steve Klem , a junior cen terfielder knocked in seven runs for the Colonels against Moravian, including a three-run home run to win the game in the 9th inning. Wilkes takes on Scranton University today at Ralston field at 3 p.m .. The Colonels have their sights set on the Middle Atlantic Conference Tournament. The post-season tournament consists of four teams playing a singleelimination tournament held in Reading. The Colonels must win this Saturday against Elizabethtown College in a doubleheader on the road. "It all boils down to Elizabethtown. We need to win both games to win the league (MAC). We can't split," said head coach Bob Duliba. Elizabethtown College is 20-4 on the season. "We've been hitting the ball very well. Hitting has carried us all seas on," admitted Coach Duliba. Klem is leading the team in hits with 28. Klem has 25 RBIs and 6 home runs, batting .400. Dave Kaschak, a junior shortstop, has 19 RBIs and is batting .383 with four home · runs. Senior first baseman John Comerford is batting .360 with two home runs and 17 RBIs. Sophomore second baseman Chris Carver has the best average on the squad at .513 with 9 RBIs. Rob Michaels, a junior outfielder/second baseman, is batting .311 with 19 RBIs. "Our offense is the strong point of our team. Hitting has brought us a lot of success," said Steve Klem . Even though Wilkes has put up the numbers in hitting, the pitching has also come through. The Colonels clutch performer Joe Balay, a sophomore , has pitched 29 innings and recorded 27 strikeouts. Kevin Gryboski, a sophomore , has pitched 30 innings and has a 2.33 ERA Sophomore Mark Youngblood pitched 30 innings with 25 strikeouts and only 7 walks, earning a 2. 12 ERA. Senior Gil Hoak, a clutch closer for the Colonels, has earned 6 saves in 8 games, r e cording 15 strikeouts. The Colonels are on a winning streak going into this week 's ga mes . If th e y conti nue their hitti ng and pitc hi ng, the Colonels will bring h o me the MA C championship. �PAGE 12 APRIL 22, 1993 3 on 3 BASKETBALL THE SLAMMA JAMMA IS BACK!

Assistant Dean of Student 1. . . . - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , basketball coach Karen Haag drove the students in University vans and acted as chaperones on the trip. As soon as they arrived Monday, at about 10 a.m., the students were whisked through a brief orientation and by 1 p.m. were on their way to work at the Little Farms. "We really didn''t know how to deal with it, the devastation," said Meg Fallin. She added that there were no street signs, and it looked like Hurricane Andrew visited just last week, not seven months ago. Little Farms was a farm that taught handicapped children how to have fun with farm animals. They lost over $200,000 in property and livestock thanks to the hurricane, but the students helped them build a new barn. The students spent the next day at the Davis' hm1se next door. They had no insurance at the time of the storm, because they had been robbed twice before, and their insurance company dropped their coverage. They were in their 70's and proud they had spent 54 years together, according to Fallin. The students helped rebuild their roof and clean up their property. Learning to hammer was one of the biggest lessons Fallin said she learned. She said they all worked together to teach each other how to hammer. "They were so welcoming and thankful that we came to help," added Fallin. She said the students became very close to the couple and they planned to stay in touch. "They even sang to me on my birthday," Fallin said. The devastation hit home even harder when Natalie Berry visited her grandparents, who live in Homestead.

The Davis' told the students stories about the looting and how everyone carried guns, pointed out that the only things that have been rebuilt were fast food joints and supermarkets and showed them pictures of what the town looked like before the hurricane. "Homestead was a beautiful town. It' s a shame it will never be the same," Fallin said. Fallin said, "You don't realize you need each other , not material things." The students headed home Friday. Theywere"exhausted," Fallin said, " but it felt good." �PAGE2 The Wilkes University Cheerleaders will sponsor a car wash in Evans parking JotonSaturday,April 17 from IO a.m. until 3 p.m. Cost is $3 per car.

We, The Beacon staff, sympathize with you. Afte: bemg away from campus all last week, whether it was on a sunny beac~ or m yo~ hometown, it seems as if we all need a few more days to get back m_ the swmg of things, especially academic things. Without most of t_he student body walking around campus last week, it appears that all was q~1et here at Wilkes. For once, there are no SG meetings to report on, no cafetena food to complain about, and no security guard fi to discuss. ascoes However, we have tried to gather together all the news features and hopefully, now that the weather has begun to cooperate, sport~ stories t~ put together a ~aper for ~ou, our readers. This is a difficult task, especially when all ?four n_unds are still envisioning last week's relaxing Spring Break but not an 1mposs1ble one. ' _Since all of our minds still seem to be stuck on string bikinis, suntanned b~dies, ~d lots of cool beverages, The Beacon staff thought that all of you might enJoy one last look at Spring Break '93. To The Editor: America-"land of the free, home of the brave" or that's what the song tells us. But as I sit watching the afternoon news I question how free we actually are. Top news of the hour is based on banishing smoking in public areas. ls this what our freedom is about? Our government is our freedom. They tell us what to do. We are mere numbers of addition and subtraction to them. Ln actuality do they care what "We the People" have to say? Take away the smoking and that will make America better-I think not! Our political system, in it's backwardness, has made us into machines computing only what it wants us to do. But this democracy docs not begin, nor does ilend with smoking alone. Let us look at other serious issues such as abortion. Our own freedom of choice is slowly being taken away from us. As a woman I believe the choice is mine whether or not LO have a child. This is my freedom, not your freedom, and certainly not President Clinton's freedom. If all our freedoms, or choices arc taken away from us, we have just broken every amendment to the Constitution. Such as freedom or speech (only when you talk about yourscU) or freedom of religion (as long as you arc Catholic). What the hell kind or world do we live in? I thought people should be proud to be Americans, but that's only if freedom doesn't get in the way. Sincerely, Jill F. Maziekas To The Editor, This is in response to Andy Gulden's column. I have been a silent reader of the Beacon for almost four years, and it has been an enjoyable form or entertainment until now. I am a senior awaiting graduation in May and I feel it is time for me Lo speak out. I am appalled and embarrassed that my peers can be so cruel and demeaning towards other people. You stated in your column "the point of my column is to deal with topical issues in a less than heavy handed manner," but al I you do is crucify people who dare to disagree with you. Take Mr. Ben Tranguch for instance, he only spent an hour or two making light of your "serious, topical issues," yet you spend hours on end every week belinling people. Who do you think you are? It seems to me, that you arc not very suscepllblc to constructive criticism. Well Mr. Gulden, every good journalist knows the knowledge gained from previous mistakes is great. Do you know that people who continuously f'ind wrong in others usually suffer f'rom a lack of sci f esteem? Perhaps you should rethink your column and give your readers a story 10 react to, not a person . Sincerely, Joyce Morrash :~~ Dear Editor: Nearly three hundred years ago the great F rcnch writer and phi! osopher Voltaire wrote: "God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh." I refer you to this quote as Mr. Al Mueller has fashioned himself as a comic genius (or God, but I know not which.) I know some of The Beacon's readers at first questioned this bold change of direction in Mr. Mueller's journalistic style, but not I. You see, whenever I sit in the Stark lobby reading "The Scent. in the Wind" I carmot help but laugh. I laugh not only at Mr. Mueller's writings, but at his overblown sense of self-importance. To borrow a line: "Al, how does your ego fit in that little column?" Ofcourse, Mr. Mueller's April 1 column may have merely been a big (cruel) joke played upon The Beacon's readership, but I doubt this is the case. ,The April Fool's Day transformation into a standup routine was not the first dramatic change that "The Scent in the Wind" has undertaken. No, I am sure that many of The Beacon's readers ifondly remember Mr. Mueller's jaunt into fictional writing, wherein he painted a vivid picture of the Old West that left me wanting more (of course, this may be attributed to the fact that the story went no where, but I, unlike Al, have been wrong before.) . My main point is I am really llred of Mr. Mueller's hit and run writing, I would call it journalism, but then that would be an affront to such people as Geor_ge Will and An Buchwald. If Mr. Mu,eller h,;ts a grievance (with the administration), he should act like the professi,onal that he seems to think he is and stara writing columns that examine the issues in question. Currently, his column is simply a platform for his cowardly attacks on our administration. I llisc the term "cowardly" as he continua II y conceals his auacks as in his tale o,f the Old West and his pitiful attempt at humor. If Mr. Mueller has a problem (the joke is too obvious) with the admimistration, he should start using indiwiduals' names and tell us exactly what they have done to deserve his wrath!. By using such general terms as "Weckesser" and "Wilkes Administrator," Mr. Mueller is tarnishing the names of all of our administrators not just the few individuals who have thr~wn him into tthis tirade. lln closing, Al, stick to public speaking. We all know you are a master debater, but a comedian - HA HA HA' Now that's a good one' Respectfully, David A. Crakc To the Editor: I am responding in reference to Andy Gulden's provoking material in the recent issues of The Beacon. I have a few questions for him to answer in the next issue. First of all, don't you have anything better to write about than ABM? I don't feel that this is a major concern of the students. Do you think you could leave the ABM workers alone and maybe even apologize? I would also like to know who told you you're never wrong? You can publicly admit that you arc a "butthead" and a "dunderhead," but youcan'tadmita mistake? Arc you that confident or just insecure? If I were you I would take a walk to the psychology department (SLC third floor) and find someone to talk to. About Student Government, if you don't want to be involved then don't, but stop whining about it. If they bother you so much why don't you go tell them about your personal qualm (any Wednesdaynightat6:30, everyone's invited)? Maybe then you can criticize, once you're personally involved, and that doesn't mean reading someone else's notes or interpretations of the meeting. Finally, it doesn't seem as if you arecnjoyingyourstay hereat Wilkes. Did you ever hear the saying "the grass is greener on the other side?" There will be many times in your life when you will want what everybody else has and be dissatisfied with what you do have. Why don't you appreciate what is here at Wilkes and what it will do for you in the future? Furthermore, our world is not perfect, no one is perfect, and if you haven't learned that lesson so far, you have a lot to learn about the real world. Would you consider these points in your future publications and possibly find it in your heart to write something nice about Wilkes, only to promote our school. Think positive and thanks for listening. Becky Loeser P.S.

However, my research depressed me, so instead, I decided to write about certain ridiculous aspects of hunting season (hang in there, this gets good). Although this isn ' t a current event, I guess because trout season opens this Saturday , I became inspired. Since trout are hard for us to identify with, I will talkaboutcertain illnesses involved with deer and bear season. From the start let me clear up one thing. I understand the importance of hunting season. For example since human kind has already destroyed the natural predators of deer, if hunting were abolished, they would over-populate and slowly starve in masses. The act of hunting itself is not what disturbs me. I accept it as a humane and necessary type of animal population control. What is disturbing, however, is the attitude that often accompanies hunting. Let's start with the pictures for an example. You know what pictures I'm talking about, the three rolls worth of developed film all consisting of the hunter and the dead animal in various poses. The hunter is practically calling to you from each picture, "Look at me, and look at the dangerous animal I stalked and killed!" Every picture is the same, yet slightly different. In some the hunter is smiling, in others he/she gives that look of determination and durability . Also, notice with what reverence and vitality the hunter presents these pictures to you. It is as if each one is so unique in its own grandeur, as rare snap shots of the Aurora Borealis. As each picture moves by you, you see the variations in poses: the hunter next to the deer, hunter holding up the deer's face, hunter grasping antlers, hunter straddles deer, hunter hangs up deer, etc. This whole phenomena borders on some strange type of bestiality necrophilia. As you sift through the pictures you 're almost ready to see the hunter naked with the deer, then the hunter and deer with whipped cream, the inflatable woodland creature friend equipped with love orifice. then the edible underwear. etc . They especially start the young boys off early. As soon as Junior gets the license to hunt, we get to see the whole picture book of Junior with his first dead deer. Notice the faint trauma still on his face ( underneath the smiles and determined expressions) from his first experience at taking the life of something large. This is not to mention his unsurfaced distress of watching dad remove the animal ·s testicles to keep the meat from spoiling. Of course the hunter then gets to gaze at the animal's head on his wall when he is too lazy to pull out the pictures. This is until it gets moved down to the basement lo make room for yet a bigger skull. If I ki lied a deer, I might take a picture of it (one or two). In fact, since I enjoy venison. I would be more likely to take pictures of the steaks I got to eat. At least there is some value in that. What is the thrill? Is it a man's conquest over a beast? The truth is, only the medium of a gun helps this process along. Were it not for guns, deer would laugh at us from hills as we wandered around in the valleys below sniffing their droppings. Truth is, there is no merit here. If a man didn't have a gun, any deer or bear would kick his ass- and bad. Bear season is another thing. I'm not sure how the overpopulation justification for hunting bear holds up, but I guess somehow it does. I remember one lady was ta! king about her bear hunting experience this past year on TV . She said, "It was the first bear I've ever seen. He was beautiful. I just couldn't believe it! '" So what did she do? She shot it. But why? For which of her three possible reasons? Was it because it was the first bear she ever saw? Was it because he was beautiful? Or was it because she was amazed? Who really does know? Anyway, what is amazing is the ego of some of these people and the asylum they find in this assertion of dominance. Everyone needs a little shelter, I guess . I know not every hunter gets off on this trip, but itis a prevailing attitude among them. When really thinking about some of this behavior and where its origins rrn1y lie, it seems frightening. 1e other University it of Senior Week, i(eception for gradu:uests, is held either ving all three Comemonies. 1 mention the desire one ... enjoy this comfortably."

While I am nor a s upporter of inter-colleg iate athletics, even I have to admit that this year ' s reams , overall , did one heck of a nice job. Before the fanfare gets too boisterous. let's step back a moment and listen to an argument that is almost never given a chance to breathe on th is cam pus- the one against collegiate sports programs. While athletes benefit from large numbers of positive experiences, they may also be exposed to norms and behaviors that will not serve them well in their careers. While in college, athletes may receive too much attention from their press, alumni , and from student body. This adulation can very ea<;ily go to their heads, and, if it does, they may lose any possibility of developing a common touch. Another danger is that they may become too one-sided, able to talk about athletics, but nothing else. As Dr. Richard Brislin wrote in The Art of Getting Things Done ,'' Athletes run the risk of not developing themselves in ways besides athletics and may find that they have too few resources for use in career development." Another problem collegiate athletics faces is the constant threat that college administrators and alumni often try to challenge the gray area of ethical guidelines. We al! know the stories floating around Wilkes ' campus of professors being too lenient in their grading of student athletes- and Lord help the professor who gives a student athlete an F. However, how many of you know the stories about bias in he distribution of resources on this campus? Remember when al I of the student clubs took a 25% cut in their operating budgets? Why is is that the football team didn ' t see that kind of cut? Why is it that no one really knows just how much money the football team actually gets per season, except a few that are close to the Administration? Why is it that Wilkes has the money to build a new field house, when so many students are clamoring about upgrading the SUB, the dorms, security on campus, and soon? There is one more argument against college athletic programs, one that should be of interest to the women on this campus. In the journal Science, Stanley Miligram pointed out that, when athletes. get special treatment from a colleue admin. . b tstrat1on, many ot them tend to develop either an aloof attitude toward others or, more common Iy, a men ta) state that they can have whatever they want. that there 's an alternative way around everything. A series of studies conducted by Fischer and Ferrar and published in the International Journal of" Psychology showed that this attitude is most prevalent among college sports "heroes" who have been convicted of rape. A significant number of former athletes who committed acts of forcible rape or date rape admitted that thev beli eved that women should perform above and beyond the call for them simply because they we re athletes , and when the didn ' t get what they wanted, they took it by force . Perhaps none of these arguments apply to Wilkes ' situation. Perhaps they al l do in some degree. However, before the reader gets ove rl y hostile toward thi s columnist, I want to be perfectly c lear that, in high school, I was an MVP in golf. So, I know these argume nts don ' t appl y to e very athlete on this campus. However, at the same time, if even one of these arguments applies to _just one person on thi s campu s, I think it's too high a price co pay for fame. �PAGE6 APRIL ~,~~ . . . ... . .. . . y05 . . . . . . 15, 1993 ~,x~ ... . . u . Music, theater and dance students shine throng WILKES-BARRE-Undaunted by the inclement weather, students in the Wilkes University Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance have been involved in a flurry of activities in recent months. On March 4, 5 and 6 the Southeastern Theatre Conference held auditions and interviews in Washington, D.C. for summer employment positions throughout the region. Jamie Kurtz, a senior theatre arts major at Wilkes University, was hired as a technician by a sum- mer theater company in Louisville, Ky. Music and theater students did not let the winter recess slow them down. Tom Jarmiolowski, a sophomore in the theater arts program, directed the Christmas show at Mountaintop Elementary last December. In February Jarmiolowski directed and choreographed the 1993 Cue 'n' Curtain children's musicalDorothy Meets Alice, or, the Wizard in Wonderland. He was assisted by Paula Lettiere, also a sophomore theater major, who designed the production. Joe DeMuro, a freshman theater arts major, took his talents off campus lastmonth, designing and building the set for Seton Catholic High School's production of Our Miss Brooks. DeMuro has been involved in stage acting since his sophomore year in high school. The 46th Annual Pennsylvania In tercollegiateBand Festival was held March 12, 13 and 14 at Lock Haven University. Twenty-six colleges and uni- versities from around the state were represented. Jerome Summers of the University of Western Ontario was guest conductor. Ten Wilkes students were selected to participate in this event: Daniel Brisk (sophomore, tuba), Scott Brown (sophomore, trombone), Angela Cherpak (sophomore, clarinet), Albert Cigarski (senior, clarinet), Christopher Gallo (senior, trumpet), Shawn Hart (sophomore, percussion), MaryAnn Kasko (senior, oboe), Daniel Moyer(sopho cussion), Rebecca Sh Gunior,frenchhom)and Stabinsky (sophomore, horn).

Including the masterpiece you now Id in your hands, we have only four issues of The Beacon left this semester. Since I will he aduating in 44 days I don't have much longer to rid this campus of the evils of fear, ignorance dstupidity. Therefor~ prepare for one hell of a final month ... Item the First: Shortly before break (and shortly after my last column was written), I saw an icle in the Times-Leader which caught my eye. Apparently, the newspaper has received a umber of complaints about the "For Better or For Worse" comic strip, penned by Lynn Johnston, hich has recently featured a gay teen character. To deal with this "problem" the Times-leader oved the strip to the editorial page. Editor Allison Walzer denies charges of censorship. "Throughout the years, we have shied way from cancelling controversial comic strips because as a newspaper we believe that nsorship is the last thing this society needs," she states. I hate to be the one to wake Ms. Walzer from her sound sleep, but moving this cartoon from nesection to another because of pressure from readers is just one more example of money taking ~------A-I_R_F_O_R_C_E_R_O_T_C_U_N_I_T_S______--, rrecedence over ideas. If the paper truly bel ieved in journalistic integ1ity, it would place the truth FILLED TO CAPACITY wove the profit margin on it<; list of priorities. However, the true culprit in this whole debacle is not Allison Walzer or the Times -le{l(fer. NOT! alher, it's the sticks-in-the-mud who actually have a problem with the strip' scontent. According Don't believe everything you hear.

AIM HIGH--AIR FORCE Item the Second: If you' ve read The Beacon in recent weeks, you may have noticed that more lhan a few students are rather disenchanted with the consideratioP- !hey ff,ay or may not rcce i ve from the University. From parking to snow days to food, we've all had our doubts as to whether the school actually cares about the men and women that pay large sums of money to go here. I must add another complaint to this list. On the Friday before break I was making my way to the cafeteria when I saw a line that was so long that I thought (and prayed) that a public execution for of a certain long-haired, balding, gravelly-voiced singer was taking place. However, I was mistaken. Some kind of event was taking place, and all of those people were ctually lined up to eat at theCaf (imagine that). I wish I could tell you what kind of event this was, ut I could find no notice of it anywhere on campus. I beseech our wise and noble leaders to post notices of such events at least two days in advance, ro that those of us who like to eat lunch sometime before dinner would be able to make alternate rlans. I realize that catering to customers who have already paid for a service is a foreign idea on this campus, but let's give it a try. Item the Third: I'm sure you've heard plenty of pleas lately to join clubs and organizations [or next year. Now it's my tum. The Beacon needs writers for next year.

My question: why are shows IL'. aturing male dancers called "male reviews," but shows featuring equivalently dressed females arc given iignificantly less charitable terms? Why is it that male reviews are held in classy bars , hut rem ale 1opless dancers appear in only the seediest dives? Why is it that female dancers an~ degraded (according to N.O.W.), but male dancers aren't? Let's face it: it's a double standard. I admit that it's one of the few that is tipped toward the female side, hut I'm a male, so I notice such things. If a man or women chooses to bare certain parts (or all) of his or her anatomy, it's not any more degrading than any other Spring Break activity in IVhich many of you engaged last week.

Student governent (SG) approved the mmittee's constitution last ednesday, March 17. SG President, Kevin arno, backed the approval. hestudentgovernment is very eased with the interest by the mmunity and the campus," said. The AIDS Awareness Committee's purpose is to promote AIDS awareness on campus and in the community, and provide a better understanding of AIDS. Group member Sabeth Ryan explains, "Our purpose is to realize the prevalence and the impact of AIDS in our society and to act now to educate our community." Committee President Kristy Hallam said, "AIDS is a world-wide epidemic that affects many socio-economic groups, and I hope that the Student AIDS Awareness Committee will help to educate these groups." Hallam is working on get- ting her group members ce1tified in Red Cross so they can give information on AIDS to high school students in the community. The Awareness Committee is hoping their presentation to the high school students will be enough for the students to set up their own peer counseling in schools. Another project in the works for the Awareness Committee is an attempt by the committee to get pait of the AIDS quilt to Wilkes on World AIDS Day on December 1. The quilt is made up of one patch for every person who has died of AIDS. It is, as Hallam called it, "an astonishing memorial." The group hopes to get 100 panels of the quilt which incorporates 20,000 names from every U.S. state and 29 different countries . Barno said the community has shown great interest in bringing the quilt to the area. Several corporate sponsors from the area will be donating thousands or dollars to support the cause and defray the entire cost.

The exact duties of the Task Force are to collect and ana- recommendations for a comprehensive campus parking plan . The Task Force is only a few . weeks old . In fact , their first meeting was a week ago, to discuss upcoming meetings and sta1t thinking about possible parking plans on campus . The Task Force is made up of faculty, staff and students. The faculty members are Lt. Col.

The staff members are Bernadette Fornicola, director of annual giving, Committee Chairperson Barbara King, coordinator of special projects, Lorraine Loyd, information operator at Campus Supporting Services, and Chery 1 Scalese, management analyst at Business Affairs and Auxiliary Enterprises. The students on the Task Force are Allison Mattin, Jennifer Myers , Al Mueller and Jackie Stefanowicz. There are also resources to the committee: Paul Adams, dean of academic affairs , Scott Bodfish, director of institutional research and planning supp01t, EugeneMaganello, director of human resources management, Jane Lampe- Groh , dean of student affairs.and .John Pesta, director of campus suppo1t services. The students are most affected by the parking problems, such as paying parking fees and trying to find as pa~e. There are only 159 student parking spaces on campus. The Pickering lot has 67 spaces, 37 of the spaces are at Chesapeake and Delaware Halls, and 35 spaces are at Temple Israel. The other20 spaces are located at Denison ( 18) and Doane Halls. Of these l 59 spaces, 5 l permits are allocated for resident students, while 128 permits are allocated to commuting students . The permits are issued on the basis of need. such as academic endeavors that require the use of a car and average dista nce that is traveled daily . There are a total of 303 parking spaces for faculty and staff. The main spaces are at SLC (71) Sturdevant Hall( 4 7) and Evans Hall(27). The other l 57 parking spaces are located throughout the campus, such as near the Lihrary, the Marts Center, and Weckesser Hall. One problem the Task Force will address is handicapped parking spaces . There are 22 spaces on campus that are designated as handicapped parking . There are also 14 parking spaces for visitors . A letter from Dean Lampe-Groh to the Parking Task Force says that there are only 16 individuals on campus who require handicapped spaces . Student Affairs and Security think the needs of these people should be taken into account when the Task Force determines whether there is a need to designate more handicapped spaces next to SLC for next year. Another problem that will be an issu e is the student parking spaces that are located at Dennison . Most resident students who park here have to walk back to their dorm at night. The Task Force is considering swapping student and staff designated spaces in Dennison and Design System lots to give students who have to park in Dennison closer proximity to their residence halls . A preliminary report will be handed to Preside nt Breiseth at the end of the se mester. In the meantime, students will have to deal with the parking blues. - -·--- ,aper Avariety of jobs are available on campus ByENRIQUE RIVEREZ Special to the Beacon r :or E:ditor r ager or :r, but not the Editor ; or less.

There are three types of employment available for students: college work study, which is federally funded and pays according to the applicant's financial need, state work study, aprogram designed for residents of Pennsylvania enrolled in posticondary education who apply for johs, and institutional emrloyment, which is funded by !he university and for which anyone is eligi ble. There is also a difference in available hours for the three areas. The fed erally-fu nded and state-funded programs have a limit of 20 hours per week during school and up to 35 per week during breaks, while the institutional programs offer a maximum of 10 hours per week. However, all jobs pay $4.35 per hour, and all employees are paid monthly. Many jobs are included in the work study program . Jobs include: clerical work, computer lab assistants, teaching assistants, typists, shipping/recdving clerks, desig n assistants and numerous others. The jobs are available during ce1tain pa1ts of the year. Students should see Cheryl M . Gihson, coordinator of oncampus employment, for more details on what jobs are available. "I enjoy the people I work with, and that is one of the most impo1tant things to me," said Kermit Douglas. Douglas is working under the institutional program as an evening summer-weekend employee. His job is primarily clerical. "I think that the biggest advantage to my job is that the hours are flexible, and I can stu dy while I work ," said Sabeth Ryan.

Students learn to market themselves By LYNN KRUTZ Beacon Co-Copy Editor "How to Succeed in Communications: At Wilkes and in the Job Market" was the topic of discussion at a March 29 seminar hosted by the Wilkes University chapter of Lambda Pi Eta. Lambda Pi Eta is the national communications honor society. The officers of Lambda Pi Eta served as panelists for a onehourseminaron howtotapallof the oppoitunities that the communications department at Wilkes has to offer. The group also discussed "basic survival" skills for communication majors. Kayanne Barilla, the executive director of the Wyoming ValleyunitoftheAmericanCancer Society, and Joanne Szoke, a recrniter for C-Tech Corporation, discussed how to w1ite a good resume at the seminar. According to Szoke, "last year we got in over 400 resumes at CTech and that is only a local company. You really have to sell yourself." Barilla stressed the impmtance ofresearching the companies you are applying to beforehand. "It only takes a few minutes and it can show a company that you're really interested in working for them." According to the two professionals,arecrniterdoesnoticethe "little things" on a resume so it is impo1tant to make sure that the recruiter's name is spelled correctly and that there are no typographical errors on the resume. "Never be afraid to call a company" to verify that all the information is correct, added Szoke. Chisari ck chairs confere nee WILKES-BARRE-Cynthia J. Chismick, associate professor of accounting at Wilkes University, chaired the Pennsylvania Institute of Ce1tified Public Accountants State Accounting Educators, held recently in Hershey. This conference, which highlights current issues in accounting education, attracted over 130 college and university educa- tors from throughout the state of Pennsylvania. Chisarick received a bachelor of science in commerce and finance from Wilkes College in 1973. She has been employed at Price Waterhouse & Co. in Philadelphia, Pa. She joined the Wilkes accounting depmtment in 1981, where she serves as chair. Both professionals said that it is very important to followup after an interview, with both a letter and a phone call. "Call once a month to refresh a recruiter's memory," suggested Szoke. According to Szoke, "you have to work nowadays to get a job."

People are coming from near and far to see if the ri ver is going to do a repeat of the flood disaster of 1972 . All over town you can listen to a variety of fl ood stories; so me are sad while others are quite humorous . All -in-all most people don't want to see a recurrence of the ' 72 fl ood, but at least this time, some of the natives might be prepared . Some others find it im p01tant to get the message that the river may crash through the dike across to the W ilkes-B arre area citizens. Still others, come just to see the river. "I've come to just look at it, it's a spectacular sight," said a Wilkes sophomore student. "I came to make sure I don't have to evacuate my house," said asouth Wilkes-Barre man. The old grandpa types were saying "it's bou nd to happen." The old grandpa types are those men who in all of their wisdom don't have anything better to do than sit and watch the rising river. Daycare center workers brought their children out for a walk along the dike to show them what happens w hen Mother Nature gives her Earth too much water. Over at Kirby Park, kids were riding bikes down what used to be a sidewalk with an adjacent pond. Presently, the pond is a lake that no longer has an adjacent sidewalk. No benches could be seen in the places where they are normally seen. As well, the baseball fields are all under water. The water came up to the children's waists as they rode swiftly through it. Sounds like fun doesn't it? If only we were children again. On our side of the river, a young couple walked along the dike. The young man said, "1 walk here every night for exercise." While his girlfriend said jokingly, "I came along this time to push him in." A Wilkes senior from Dickson City said, "I came to see how high the water has gotten. I was very you ng when the flood of 1972 hit\ but I remember it and the damage it caused. Now that it has begun to rain, I'm getting a little worried." A young man who resides on No1thham pton Street just on the opposite side of the river bank came to see how hig h the water has risen. 'Tm a little concerned. I come over here everyday. I've only lived here for about four months and now thi s. Tonig hi I brought my girlfriend along to see as wel l." A King's College freshman from upstate Ne w York came to the Wilkes side of things to view the water level. She said, "I wanted to see this. I realize that rivers in New York streamline into the Susquehanna." For all s01ts of reaso ns, people have fl ocked down to the rive r banks to see just how far this river will rise. If the river overfl ows its hanks, it will run over, not through, our town. 'r>ou·11 o~ Wo..'/ +'bi(l.~Q.Qk ,+ "V so~ o . b l e Bo h 30.f__yo..

Dr. Lennon, or whoever the ignoramus is in charge of snow cancellations, displayed the typical blatant ignorance that Wilkes shows to commuters. For three days in a row ofinclement weather, while other _a rea colleges and schools cancelled or delayed classes, Wilkes showed utter ignorance towards commuters. March 16, 1993 - College Misercordia and L.C.C.C. cancel, as well as Wilkes-Barre area (Same town, same roads ... go figure!), Wyoming Valley West, and Wyoming area. I have to travel on 3-5 miles of sidestreets and the conditions were still dangerously poor. Does Wilkes care? No! March 17, I 993 - A continuous 1snowfall from I p.m. to midnight made the sidewalks and roads dangerously slippery. Once again, L.C.C.C. and Misercordia cancel night classes and Wilkes refuses to acknowledge [the weather conditions]. March 18, 1993 - Because of the below-zero windchill and lower temperatures, the sleet and ice from the day ,before did not melt, as both sidestreets and avenues were unfil for early morning travel. Wilkes-Barre area (Once again boys and girls, same city, same streets) delays class and I have to drive on untreated roads that a compressed 'schedule might have prevented. All in all, I think your praise, in the face of these three days in a row of blatant disregard towards commuters is very out of place. Is Dr. Lennon testing our patience?

While it is true that seats are limited at the May graduation, there is a more effective way to remedy the situation. Seniors, wage the war thatMuellerclaims you don't have a prayer of winning-<lemand that the administration move your commencement exercises outside so that everyone, including January graduates, can enjoy this important event comfortably. 1ne fact that undergraduates arc being forced to look to ways to eliminate members of their own graduating class from attending the May ceremony suggests the seriouseness of this problem. Commencement exercises are the culmination of a student's academic and social career at Wilkes; Mueller was right when he pointed out that we shouldn't have to choose between inviting our brother or sister. Moving the ceremonies outside would eliminaie the need for each graduate to have to pick and choose between family and friends . According to the Registrar's Office, only one of the January graduates plan on returning for May commencement exercises. Should this .one student, and her five guests, be turned away from sharing this momentous occa~sion with her classmates simply because there is not enough room in !he Marts Center? In his column, Mueller himself admits thal these students are memhcrs of the class of 1993, they are simply "graduated members." However, January graduates do not enjoy many of the activities that other members of the Class of 1993 have the opportunity to attend. For example, there is no Senior Week for those who bid Wilkes farewell in .I anuary. These students have paid their dues at Wilkes jusl like any other student has-they deserve to not only be allowed, but invited, to attend May commencement exercises. Furthermore, some of the January graduates finished their schooling a semester early. It is fair that these students, students of high academic standing, be penalized for their accomplishments? I would think thal Wilkes would be proud to welcome back a student who was able to finish their undergraduale work a semester early. If some of the great men and women of our nation had taken Mueller's advice and avoided those challenges which seemed too difficult, many of the "battles" this country has faced, such as the Revolutionary War, would not have been waged. Often times, seniors, the most difficult battles to win are the ones with the most rewards. As Mueller stated, "take back control of [your] graduation .. . and do it now, before it's too late.

Feel free to insert any name in place of a "W' Administrator." t In Washington early this week, the Clinton administration held a hearing on its health care task force. The administration was especially proud of two health care refom1 proposals which it plans to pass . They include price controls on health care, and the requirement for small businesses to supply all employees health care. These sound like great ideas. Doctors will be forced to charge less rnr their services and people will not have to work ror big companies to have their health care benelits paid ror by their employer. Unfortunately, like many of this administration's proposals, this concept sounds like tlowers for all, but the true substance of it amounts to much less. Let's start with price controls. A price is not just a meaningless number. Any economis t wi ll tell you that the price of something carries with it many different messages. For example, a price can help the consumer judge the quality or a service or product. rr all toasters were forced to sell at the same price, how would a person judge which brand is the best quality? Also, don't worry about the manufacturers losing money. Do you reall y think you will be getting a bargain when big government steps in and makes a company sell something for less? No way. The manufacturer will simp ly cut some quality here and there to keep its profits. A metal boll becomes a plastic knob, expensive environmentally-safe rat poison becomes the cheaper pctkilling type, copper wire turns to rubber band, etc. Manufactures resent unreasonable government control on their business and will act accordingly to maintain the range of profit. Where does this leave our industry'! Now, instead or manufacturers competing to put out the best product ror a good price, they will compete to put out the least quality product for the same price. Worse yet, there is no way the consumer will always be aware of these strategic changes in quality. This is why the message of prices is so important. No matter how much socialist ideals try to establish Utopia, there is no way competition among businesses can be diminated. Another way 1mmuractures can beat price caps is to change the title or a particular product or the category or a particular service. rr the government says that a given service can only cost so much, the providers of that service will simply alter the service a little and call it something else, thus keeping it out of the reach of the price cap! This also goes for products . For a hypothetical example, a flavor conditioner of some sort can be added to water filters, thus renaming them "water enh,mcers." Now price caps for "water filters" don 't apply. In case you haven't already been applying this discussion to health care, I will do so ror you • now . All these above considerations apply to the health care industry as well. The message or price helps the consumer make judgements about the quality or doctors and procedures, just as they do about carpet cleaners and the vacuums they use. If a doctor is forced to charge a limited amount for his service, he will consequently cut corners somewhere to maintain his or her profits. Pharmaceutical products will do the same, using less quality ingredients. As considered, doctors' services will only generate prolit in terms of how much they can cut out of their expenditures within the price they are forced to charge. Doctors can also change the titles and classifications of procedures and tests to beat price caps. Furthem10re, they can pick up the slack of lost profits by diagnosing more "health problems" of the patient. In light of all this, it is evident that price caps are not the ~nswer. It is only the bes tsounding answer which public officials can use to get elected. Boti-1major parties are lobbied by physicians' interests. However, the Democratic party is more heavily lobbied by lawyers' int eres ts. Since Clinton accepted so much financing from lawyers for his campaign, he owes them. Just as the Democratic-dominated Congresses of the Bush and Reagan eras owed them. One reason why healt h care costs are so high is that doctors have to pay an unbelievable amount for malpractice insurance. First, to keep profits, they charge a lot to make up fo r money they pay for insurance. More importantly, they have to practice defensive medicine for fear of being sued. Now who benefits from lawsuits? Lawyers. If Clinton wants price caps, why not cap the amount of money someone can sue fo r? Because he has to return favors and protect lawyers. There is simply no reason why a person can sue for millions of dollars just because a nurse re-broke a patient's arm when adjusting them in a gurney. Save the million dollar lawsuits for misamputated limb cases! rr there wa~ less money awarded in lawsuits, then malpnctice insurance would not be as high. If that wer~ so, doctors would not have to run 40 different expensive precautionary tests on every patient in fear of lawsuits. The bills would then he less for the patient, and their health insurance policy would also be less expensive as a result. Of course, rather than do this, the Clinton task force wants w preserve lawyer profits. They want to force small business to pick up the slack. They want to make them pay for all their employees' health insurance, which is so expensive in order to accommodate all the lawyers' big case awards. What happened to Clinton's support for small business'! If health insurance wasn't forced to be so high in order to pay back campaign contributers, perhaps individuals could then afford it themselves. Instead, they can be unemployed when the small business they work for goes under becat:se it couldn't handle mandatory insurance payments. 1.

Joining students from the department of music, theatre, and dance at Wilkes will be alumni of the percussion program who have studied with Adjunct Professor Robert A. Nowak. Alumni will be returning from various parts of the country to honor Nowak, who celebrates his 10th anniversary at Wilkes. Nowak is an active, free-lance musician and studio teacher in Eastern Pennsylvania. In addition to his responsibilities at Wilkes, he is the principal percussionist with the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, amemberof the Reading Symphony and a regular performer throughout the state at programs with many of the greats in show business. Mr. Nowak also teaches in his own studio in Shenandoah and serves as a consultant at various high schools in the region. The percussion program will begin with a work entitled "Ogoun Badagris" by 20th century composer Christopher Rouse. The composition derives inspiration from Haitian drumming patterns and is tied with various aspects of the Voodoo ritual. The ritual Ogoun Badagris is one of the most terrible and violent of all forming one of his own compositions for rudimental drums. Cuccia is currently a member of the marching band at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Primatic will then perform his own arrangement of "Beat 70" by MethanyMays.

The first half of the concert will conclude with an arrangement of Dave Grusin' s "Mountain Dance" by 1989 alumnus Stephen Primatic. Grusin is best known as a com poser of the theme from the television show "St. Elsewhere." He also performed the piano tracks and was the musical director for the movie The Registration is a hassle for students By PA TTY PUERLING Beacon Features Editor It is that time of year again when Wilkes students have to go through the painstaking process ofregistration. There are many things that are causing problems this year, according to students. One of the main things is the inconvenience of the time schedule. Many students are finding that all of the classes that they need are overlapping, causing them to take other classes instead. This is an especially big problem for the seniors who are planning on graduating, only to find that one of their classes doesn't fit and is holding them back. Senior Ernie Scaran said, "The only thing holding me back from graduating is CST 201. I can't fit it in my schedule." Another problem is the inconsistency in scheduling.

Senior John Saleski said, "They keep changing their minds. Field Studies was offered in the fall, and now they're putting it in the sp1ing." The changing core is also causing a problem in many students' overall plans. The notification of registration was also raised as a problem by commuters. They feel that the school doesn't give enough notice as to when students should start seeing their advisors to plan their schedules. Senior Shelly Kolb suggested they put up signs or send out letters reminding those who live off campus that it is time to see their advisors. "The only way I know it's time is when I hear other students talking about it," said Shelly.

F 1tact the T? I must begin this week's edition by thanking Mr. Ben Tranguch for caring enough to write an entire letter about my column, which appeared in last week's Beacon. It's nice to know that someone out there cares enough to spend an hour or two to respond to something that irks him. However, I feel it only fair that I be given the oppmtunity to respond ... First of all, Ben, you' re not the first person to call me an a&&hole. It's been done many times, so it causes me no great personal injury. Secondly, I must apologize for the poor censorship job. Since our world is filled with conservatives (the type of people that you apparently support), it ~ not advisable that we p1int the unadulterated obscenities that you used in your letter. Now, we move on to the substantive issues cited in your letter. As far as objectivity goes, I leave that to the news people, and I feel that they usually do a pretty good job of maintaining fair rep01ting standards. However, I am a columnist. My job is to examine issues more closely than the average press release. In other words, not only is my subjectivity acceptable, but expected. What would be the point of w1iting an objective opinion column? This is a contradiction in terms. As for checking my fact'>, I do that. Let's say I'm questioning the work ethic of ABM employees. I've observed them for nearly four years when they sit around the dorm lobbies for hours at a time smoking instead of working. I think this entitles me to suggest that they are less than industrious. Furthe1more, the point of this column is to deal with se1ious and topical issues in a less than heavy-handed manner. Therefore, some exaggeration and humor is necessary. However, if the average reader is intelligent enough, he will be able to decipher the underlying meaning. Finally, I feel that you object to my column not because of its humor or subjectivity but because your political views do not dovetail with my own (since you do not object to the inaccuracies contained in the two conservative columns in The Beacon ). This is certainly understandable. My views, of course, are correct, but not everyone is able to see that. If you do wish to express your opinion, feel free to do so by writing a constructive letter to usoutlining these views. However, you accomplish nothing by demonstrating your ignorance of the nature of commentary and sati1ical writing. To conclude this portion of the column, I'd like to quote Mr. Denis Leary, who says, "I'm an a&&hole and proud of it." To Ms. Becky Loeser, whose letter will appear in the next Beacon , lean only quote Led Zeppelin by saying, "Your time is gonna come." * * * While all of you lucky souls are off gallivanting in Florida (and I'm busy working to support myeducation), don't woffy too much about all the tests and papers that face you upon your return .

Here, , is yet another look at ible things to come s are discussed in their ·cted order of finish). Am erican League t: Toronto should easily at. Although they lost ral key players (Dave field, Kelly Gruber, ·ct Cone, Tom Henke, ) they have succeeded in 'ring talent (Paul Molitor, e Stewart and Darnell ) to fill most of those ·uons. Also, the recent 'sition of Darrin Jackson the Padres rids the Jays Derek Bell, who never close to his potential. ver, the Jays probably not return to the World s. The rest of the division is for grabs. Baltimore could enge for the title if Brady derson and Mike vereaux come close to ting last year's success. York may actually have best pitching threesome in East, with Melido Perez, Abbott and Jimmy Key . . ever, they don't have the er hitting to seriously enge the Jays. Until last week Cleveland may have had a shot. They potentially have the best lineup in the division, but the tragic de ath of Steve Olin, their closer, along with the shaky status of starter Bob Ojeda, who was also injured in the boating accident, means it will be at least another year and more pitching before championship baseball returns to Cleveland. Sitting at the bottom of the East are Boston, Milwaukee and Detroit. The Red Sox have Roger Clemens and little else, unless Mo Vaughn is able to continue to play like he is in Florida. The Brewers failed to compensate for the losses of Molitor and Chris Bosio. Finally, the Tigers' hitters may amass twice as many whiffs as their pitchers. American League West:· This division has five teams capable of taking the crown. Minnesota, though, has the best lineup, top to bottom, in baseball. There simply aren't any weak spots. Their defense is also superior, and the relief pitching is adequate. If the starters come through, the Twins will run • away with it and may even steal the pennant from Toronto. However, Chicago has been waiting in the wings for three years. If Steve Sax, Ellis Burks and Kirk McCaskill can rebound from sub-par years, look out for the Sox. Kansas City is in a similar position. They must hope that key players such as Kevin McReynolds and Wally Joyner can regain their old forms. After the investment by a Japanese businessman in the team, Seattle now has the cash to build a winner. The young pitchers must succee d , though, for this to occur. In Oakland, T o ny La Ru ssa managed to patch a bunch of young playe rs and retreads into a division champion last year. However, he has lost Dave Stewart and Harold Baines. Still, any team that is managed by La Russa has a shot. Texas is, once again, a long shot. They can only hope that they can hit more home runs than their pitchers will allow. California will b1ing up the rear. They are attempting to min-or the youth movement which has brought success to Houston and, to a lesser extent, Cleveland. However, the Angel kids just aren't as talented. National League West: In the weakest division in baseball only two teams, Montreal and New York, have the potential to lose to Atlanta in the playoffs. The Expos have so much young talent that they will be a force for years to come. However, a team with all of the proven talent that exists on the Mets could not possibly be as bad as 1992 would indicate. This race may come down to the final weekend, but Montreal's superior pitching, youth and excellent coaching will win out in the end. Chicago may challenge for second place if their pitching performs as well as it did last year. They also, with the anticipated re turn of Shawon Dunston, may have the best infield in the game when R yne Sandberg's wrist heals. The success of St. Louis relies heavily on their young pitchers and the return to f01m of Todd Zeile. Otherwise, this team may be looking over its collective shoulder. not need one. The Braves will finally win their World Se1ies this year. The only drama, then, will be between Cincinnati and Houston for second place. The Reds have a proven hitter at every po sition except catcher and have decent starters and, when he's not fighting , the best closer in the league in Rob Dibble. Houston is young and hungry, but the additions of Doug Drabek and Greg Swindell will only catTy them to 90 wins and a third place finish. Philadelphia may have the best offense in the division, but it will all go for nought, as they simply have no pitching. However, they will still fare better than Pittsburgh, who, except for Andy Van Slyke, doesn't even have the offense. Finally, there is Florida, where catcher Benito Santiago may set a record for most base stealers thrown out in a season, only because so many runners will be on base. Los Angeles is seeking to atone for their horrendous 1992 season and will do so, at least to some degree. However, there are too many question marks (Darryl Strawberry, Eric Davis and Jose Offerman, just for starters) for the Dodgers to seriously contend. National League West: In a division with the three best teams in the National League, it's strange that the champion will win by at least ten games. Atlanta has the best starting pitching since San Francisco and San Diego will be locked in a season-long battle to avoid Colorado and last place. The top half of the Giants' lineup will scare many, but their pitching will scare only the Candlestick faithful. Likewise, after the trio of Tony Gwynn, Gary Sheffield and Fred McG1iff, the Padres may be the worst nonexpansion team in baseball. Colorado may hit home runs, but, like any expansion team. their pitching will be so atrocious that 100 wins are a distinct possibility. the 1971 Orioles, even without Greg Maddux, and the offense to win 105 games. The worst part for the rest of the division is that the top four starters average 26 years of age and are signed with the Braves for the next four years.

Addy Malatesta returns for her fourth season as head coach. Last season the Lady Colonels went 14-12 overall and 4-6 in the Middle Athletic Conference Northwest. Malatesta will lose three all-conference performers from a year ago. Denise Carson, Dawn Hosler and Cory Schwoyer were all lost to graduation, while two-year starter Becky Simon is sitting out due to class conflicts this semester. This season the Lady Colonels return a strong nucleus of young players, led by junior Sandie Warntz. Warntz hit .397 and had 16 RBIs while playing third base last season. Hillary Blake, the only senior on this year's roster, batted .266 last season and returns to play first base this year. Also returning are juniors Sue Moran (2B), Stacey Boyer (SS), Jennifer Stackhouse (DH) and Lisa Wrobel (OF). Sue Moran hit .289 a year ago, while Stackhouse batted .241 and drove in 10 runs. Boyer brings back her .233 average to this year's club. Sophomore Kathy Moran returns to play the outfield after hitting .27 5 a year ago. Coach Malatesta thinks the young pitching staff is going to be the biggest test for this year's squad. Sophomore Gia Andrejko and Blake are both going to see action on the mound this season. Andrejko went 2-3 last season with 2.24 ERA. Malatesta is also counting on freshman Tricia Kirk to pitch a lot of innings. Malatesta's outlook for the season is a sound one. "We have depth at a lot of positions. We look like a _sound team, but that remains to be seen until we can take the field." The Lady Colonels have lost 13 games so far due to the weather, including a tournament and several doubleheaders. When the team finally takes the field they will have their sights set on a possibility of a MAC playoff berth or an East Coast Athletic Conference bid.

Two plays written by Bonnie Bedford, assistant professor of English at Wilkes University, were recently produced by the Adam Hill Theatre Company, a professional repertory company in West Hollywood, Ca . The plays, Accident and Sniper, have both received excellent reviews by the national magazine Dramalo g. Bedford is also writing a screenplay version of The Sniper , and it will be produced by Warner Brothers and turned into a movie with Adam Hill directing. "Basically, I'm doing the writing, and he's doing the reading of the script," says Bedford. Hill is current;y doing a movie with Columbia Pictures called P.S. Your Cat is Dead, starring - ::v~% 2~:1~:~o~~~:~:~~~~;:~~;:£~~~~;~~~~:!\i i:=::::ss:!!! forced together by an accident. The white woman is played by Caryl Weiner, and the black woman is played by Lyne Odums. In the play Odums is the mother of a teen who caused a serious car crash, and Weiner plays a wealthy socialite with a chip on her shoulder. Both woman are typical stereotypes at the beginning of the play, butbytheendoftheplay theyhave dissolved their stereotypes. ommy Hicks, from Spike Lee's She's Gotta Have It , made his directing debut with this play. The other play, The Sniper, is based on recurring true stories of teenagers who kill randomly . The play explores the case of a seemingly normal boy who takes a rifle to a rooftop and kills people randomly. "The killer is not your stereotypical killer. He doesn ' t come from a troubled or an alcoholic family, or doesn't listen to heavy metal" says Bedford. The play is centered around two people who kept journals of the killings. The play -also reveals the myth that small town America is safe. The also a play of actions and has very little scenery in it. The Sniper stars Bobby Zameroski as the young sniper, Richard Anders as the blue collar father and Melissa Nickert as the quirky girlfriend. These actors come forward and enact scenes of the past. Bedford said that this all started when The Sniper was chosen as a finalist in the Drama Reading Awards in New York City. The play was read by a person who knew Adam Hill and decided that he should read and direct this play. The unknown person then contacted Hill, and Bedford received the call that Hill wanted to direct the play. "Iwasamazedbecauseithappened from somebody who I didn' t know, but who, when he read the play, decided that Hill should also react it" says Bedford. Bedford says she doesn't know when the movie will be finished. In fact prospective actors have yet to be contacted. "it should[be done] in about two or three years," says Bedford. flil'i Behind the scenes at ABC News-it's not all glamour BY WENDY RAUGHLEY Beacon News Editor Students got a look "Inside TV: Behind the Scenes at ABC News" Tuesday from Mary Gabriel, operations producer at "Business World." She advised up-and-coming television j ournalists to concentrate on learning how to write. "It is easier to turn a journalist into a television personality than it is to turn a personality into a j ournalist," Gabriel said. To find a job, she said that one should start with everyone one know. With a little luck an interview will soon follow. "This business [television news] is a lot of luck and being in the right place at the right time, then it's a little bit talent," she said. As an operations producer Gabriel is in charge of coordinating everything for each show. The exact duties of the job vary from show to show, but she coordinates the studio time, the people to work the show, the guest and the necessary equipment. She warned students, however, that it is not as easy as it sounds. Dealing with the union workers and sticking to their rules can be very difficult when she's trying to get her work done. For example, the union requires they get lunch at a certain time, and the time isn't always perfect. The most interesting part , she said, is coordinating live guest remotes each week. Her job is to make sure there is a studio available for the guest to go to, that there is a crew there to work and that enough satellite time is purchased for the interview. Generally, the show is not edited before it's aired, so everyone must work together for the final product. Editing will only occur if something drastic happens, such as a picture falling on a guest. In this case they will take out the question and re-shoot. Gabriel stressed the attention to detail that is needed to do a show. "One slip and you lose a vital part of the inter.view," ' ' • . • ♦ • t I• she commented. Gabriel started at ABC in 1979 as a special events production secretary and later moved on to "World News Tonight." She said "World (See ABC, page 4) Inside ...

Depo-Provera is in the form of an injection received in the buttocks or upper arm once every three months. The injection works on the same premise as the birth control pill. If certain levels of progesterone are found in the body, the pituitary gland will not release two types or hormones which cause the egg to mature in and then be released from the ovary. Depo-Provera and the pill contain chemicals which block this process by increasing the level of progesterone in a woman's body. As with every birth control method, there are advantages, risks, and side-effects. According to Joan Krashnak, the office manager of the Wilkes-Barre branch of Planned Parenthood, the advantages to using Depo-Provera include the fact that the drug is "very effective, only one failure in 100 women, works within 24 hours of interjection, and there is no medication to take daily ." The manager also stated some of the risks and side effects of the injection. Depo-Provera may cause "bleeding more days than usual, a greater chance of pregnancy in the Fallopian tubes, and an increase of serious cardiovascular side effects if the women smokes while using Depo-Provera," stated Krashnak. Krashnak also stressed that the "injection doesn't provide protection against AIDS or sexually transmitted infections." The manager added, "A condom should be used in cases where exposure to an infection may be possible." The company that produces Depo-Provera also states some other side effects.

Grier Stephenson Jr., professor of government at Franklin and Marshall College. Stephenson spoke on this topic Tuesday night in the Wilkes University CPA Lounge. Stephenson began his leetureby discussing the nature and origin of the Bill of Rights. He noted that, out of 49 total limitations onthegovernment's power enumerated in the Constitution, 28 appear in the Bill of Rights . However, the concept of a bill of rights is not original to the United States but was gathered from "English constitutional principles, philosophy of natu ral rights and Colonial American experience." Stephenson also stated that two major action established the power of the Bill of Rights. Judicial review, which allows the courtstointerpretthe limitsofthe Bill of Rights, was established by Marbury v. Madison in the early nineteenth century. Next, the FomteenthAmendmentextended the Bill of Rights to the states shortly after the Civil War. Next, Stephenson discussed the factors which threaten the Bill of Rights. First of all, the principle of judicial review has led to several vague and seeming!y con- tradictory decisions. For instance Stephensonnamed four Supreme Court cases which offer vastly differentinterpretations of the free exercise of religion clause of the First Amendment. However,thegovernment, according to Stephenson, is not solely responsible for the c 1us1uu u1 Luc 0111 u1 Ktgm:, People have become compla cent, expecting that limita tions to their rights will no occur, even though they an currently happening . Also people place too much confi dence in their governmenta institutions instead of fightini fortheir rights. However, those who do stand up are often shunned by people who place an abundant amount of faith in the government. Stephenson received his B.A. in 1964 from Davidson College and his M.A. and PhD from Princeton University in 1966 and 1967 . He is author of The Supreme Court, co-author ofAmerican Constitutional Law and American Government and editor of An Essential Safe guard: Essays on the United States Supreme Court and Its Justices . He has also been published in several political science journals. Honor society sponsors seminar on success WIL KES-BARR E - T he Wilkes University chapter of Lambda Pi Eta, the national communications honor society, will sponsor its first annual seminar, "How to Succeed in Communications: At Wilkes and in the Job Market," on March 29 in Marts 213 fro m noon to 2 p.m. According to Dr. Christina S. Beck, Lambda Pi Eta advisor, "the seminar seeks to address the needs of all of our majorsfrom freshmen to seniors." From noon to 1 p.m., the officers of Lambda Pi Eta will serve as panelists for a seminar on how to tap all of the opportunities that the communications department has to offer and on "basic survival" skills for communication maj ors.

She has spent the last six years as operations producer at "Business World" and works on special events, like when President Clinton answered children's questions. To give the students an idea of the cost of doing a show like the one with the President, she showed a video of the opening scenes. It was only one minute and 20 seconds long, but it contained footage from three different cities. It took about 40 hours to shoot the footage, about 130 hours of editing and 16 hours of special effects, just to complete the 80 seconds of video. The sound alone cost $2 ,000.

Andy Gulden has made an art form of eliminating those minor nuisances called "facts" on artides regarding student government, the Republican party, [and] current economic conditions . Maybe the Wilkes student body asks too much when we plead with Andy Gu lden, et. al., to provide less uneducated opinion and more investigative, accurate, and objective reporting on those subjects affecting Wilkes students . Certainly providing superficial opinions on subjects one is less than qualified to write about is easy, but does it benefit anything other than the writer's ego? You see, opinions and a** holes do have a great deal in commo n. They both turn good paper into sh!t.

Now that package to Russia. Do you see any contradictions Reagan has done the hard work, Clinton is considerhere? ing finishing up the job. He is considering a major relief package to be sent, via our raised taxes , to The whole reason why there is no more USSR Russia to help manifest democracy. is because of the efforts of a certain past president This is great! I support the idea (though not the named Ronald Reagan. Socialism in the form of a method of funding it) of helping Russia rebuild. We huge nuclear threat is now gone. The reason for this is the fact that we won the cold war. However, we came this far, financing the undermining of their must remember that people like Clinton laughed at socialism by building bombs. It's nice to spend Reagan and criticized him for wasting money on the money on benevolent aid instead. But I can't help remembering Clinton up in arms military. over the involvement of the Reagan and Bush adThe trouble was that Reagan knew what he was ministrations in foreign affairs. He really blasted doing. The Soviet Union simply did not have the them for this involvement. Now here he comes self-preservation qualities of the United States. We changing his tune with a new concern for world can feed ourselves and can even get a decent portion affairs, specifically with Russia. of our own fuel. Don't get me wrong. I am pleased with the idea that he plans to finish Reagan's work. It just seems The point is that Reagan knew we could outlast strange that he criticized this type of behavior so them. While our economy created over $20 trillion much in the past. dollars in new wealth during his terms, the Soviet people were standing in lines for milk and disgusted with socialism. The Soviet government simply could not maintain a healthy domestic structure while they tried to win the cold war. By contrast, we did. Remember that goofy "Star Wars" idea that Clinton, Gore, Kennedy, Mondale, Dukakis and the rest all laughed at? "It will not work!" they would say. "Why are we pursuing this?" they would ask. Basically, Reagan probably believed it could not work, either. His goal was not necessarily the literal success of the project. However, its success laid in the possibility that it might work. Follow me on this. If it did hypothetically work, we would theoretically be invulnerable to a nuclear attack. It was the sheer possibility of Star Wars' success that won the cold war. The concept alone scared the Soviet Union to escalate the cold war even more. This is just what Reagan wanted! Why else did it not remain a secret? Why wa5n't Star Wars kept confidential? By pushing its success and publicizing the spending on it the Soviets' socialist government, in tum, destroyed itself trying to keep up in an effort to produce counter technology. In tum the Soviet people were not being served, and they demanded changes. Reagan to this day is scorned for having spent so much effort on these foreign affairs which are portrayed as trivial by Democrats. But how does everyone forget that nuclear war was a real threat? It was an international fear, as people all around the world prayed for something that would preserve their children's future. Don't you remember all those nuclear holocaust specials, the ho,rifying news descriptions and the Hollywood productions of the horrors of nuclear war? The end of the world w,as al~ays ~ingeting aro~n_d the comer! ., In fact one of the very premises on which he was elected was that he promised to concern himself almost solely with domestic affairs. However, Bosnia, Somalia, homosexuals in the service (a noncivilian entity), Russia, allowances to Israel, etc. have all come first. Meanwhile Clinton's formal budget has not even been submitted yet and won't be submitted to Congress until next month. " But President Clinton can't ignore foreign affairs, since problems can arise at anytime and may have a direct effect on us," is something a logical Clinton supporter might say. In return, I say, "exactly!" Sadly, when Reagan said this, Clinton had a fit. So what is to learn from all this, aside from it being just another illustration of Clinton's contradictory messages? I would focus on the former Soviet Union to answer this . Socialist ideals simply do not work. Fairly recent history has proven this on many occasions. It has never worked and sustained itself over a long period of time. As I have illustrated in past articles Clinton's even spread of wealth for productive as well as unproductive Americans is a form of classic socialism. There is no reward for working hard and pursuing dreams when everything you gain is stripped from you and given to olhers who sit by and watch. We are descendents of rugged individualists who overcame all kinds of odds to make a life in our country. They endured natural disasters, holocausts, persecution , disease and even slavery. I give us more credit than the present administration does. We do not need a big, centralized government to control us. We should follow the examples of our old relatives. Let's develop our own work ethic rather than wait !·or i;ati01;1ed hando"4tS at thy ~xpense of others. This past weekend, as I was competing in the National Pi Kappa Delta Forensics Tournament, I realized that it will all be over in less than 70 days. Countdowns to commencement have already begun. Seniors are judging their work-weeks by paper and project deadlines, parents are arguing whether or not they should invite Uncle Harry and Aunt Rose to the ceremony and the Administration is counting down the days until this column ends. Yes, the end of the world is coming quickly. After May 29, 1993 the senior class will no longer be in the pabulum-fed world of college life. Instead, we will have to chart new ground, learning how to overcome the limitations we have placed upon ourselves and attempting to do the best we can in our chosen endeavors. Some ofus will go off to graduate school, most of us will go out into the work force, a few will go into military service and a few more still will be thinking about doing one or more of these things . However, no matter how you slice it, one common thread will link all of us after our Wilkes life has ended, and it's not the fact that the Development Office will be hitting us up for money every other week. Rather, we will all be pursuing higher education. For education is something that is with us for the remainder of our lives, and anyone who tells you he or she is not still learning something new every day is either an idiot or a liar. What began with "Sesame Street" or "The Electric Company" has changed and evolved over the years, but the basic messages have remained the same. They taught us that, by combining cultural literacy with enjoyment, we will learn. They taught us that limitations we placed upon ourselves can be overcome with a little effort. Finally, they taught us that, if we like what we do and who we are, we will always succeed. Now, however, the challenge becomes putting these fundamental concepts into everything we do. The winds of change and anticipation will continue to challenge us as we move on through life. The critical need for "higher" education in any of its various forms continues, and we can and should accept responsibility for increasing our personal development by insisting that our educational premises are solid. Overriding all of our attempts is the assurance that, once we are out of Wilkes' sphere of influence, what we do will really matter in our lives and in our communities where ideas, values and the best of what life has to offer await challenge and.change. So, while the countdowns have begun and the Administration prays that the next few columns will be as sober as this one, remember, seniors: soon our lives at Wilkes will be just a memory. However, what we do from now until the day of our commencement will set the stage for what is to come. So, make it a good semester, and enjoy what you can, for this is what it's all about. �MARCH THE B EACON 25, 1993 PAGE7 "Karaoke Night" was a big success on campus By PATTY PUERLING Features Editor Have you ever dreamed of singing your favorite song to an audience full of all of your friends and fellow students?

There were 25 schools represented from around the state, including Wilkes University, King 's College, Penn State University Park and Lycoming College to name a few. Along with many workshops the K'er's also attended a dance, banquet, buffet and the House of Delegates, where the two chosen from each club voted for the new district board officers. The district board is in charge of all of the clubs throughout the state. Among the Wilkes attendees were Justin Ardito, president- elect, Patty Puerling, vice-president, Tim Williams, secretary and Kevin Moher, treasurer-elect. They attended in order to get a feel for what their new jobs entailed as well as to get familiar with other Circle K clubs. Announced at the convention was the new district project for the 1993-94 year. Every year, there is a different charity organization for which Circle K works. This year's project will be The Pennsylvania and Kiwanis Children's Heart Fund, which will benefit the new children's wing being built at Geisinger Hospital. Next year Wilkes and King's will have the pleasure of hosting the convention at the Ramada on the square. Next the club will be involved with Bowling For Kids' Sake at Stanton Bowling Lanes in Wilkes-Barre. Circle K is looking forward to having a great year! �' AGES MARCH 25, 1993 New exhibit at Sordoni Art Gallery THE BEACON UP & COMING ALBUMS . .lust Released on March 23: IRON MAIDEN, A Real Live One Eddie's back on Capitol!

Last week, I promised you a review of Ice-T's Home Invasion . While my report may not be as extensive as the average Rolling Stone review (which are written by guys who do nothing but listen to music all day), I hope that it's sufficient. As you know, Ice-T has received a lot of negative press lately for speaking the truth about oppression, censorship and other wonderful things. He was dropped from Warner Bros. Records because of his unwillingness to compromise on his lyrics or cover art. He then started his own label, Rhyme Syndica~ Records, which is a subsidiary of Priority Records, the home oflce Cube, among others. send only $10.00 & S .A.S .E. to: G.V. Martinez 18524 N. W· 67 Avenue Suite #174 Ice-T pulls no punches on his latest effort. The CD begins with "Warning," a profanity-laced .--~~~==~M~ia~ITIJ=·=F=la=·=3=3=0=1=5=============::::::!..L speech which urges the faint of heart (i.e. Tipper Gore and Charlton Heston) to "take the tape out now." The second track, "It's On," is a thinly vailed shot at Warner Bros. He states he won't "cut on the product" to please anyone. While many of the songs deal with important political issues, the best (and most important) tracks on the album are the two which deviate most from the stereotypical macho, violent rap posturing. "Race War" urges racist whites and blacks alike to realize that we're all the same. He wonders why blacks discriminate against people of other minorities, since they are all experiencing the same kind of oppression. This view is far more mature and educated than that of men such as Ice Cube, who continues to write hate songs directed toward whites, Koreans and anyone else who ' s not black. "Gotta Lotta Love" is the album's greatest triumph. Ice-Tcongrarulates the members of the Crips and the Bloods, L.A. gangs who formed a truce last year. This is a momentous event which received, oddly enough, far less press coverage than the riots. I thought the press was supposed to have a liberal bias. There are only two drawbacks to Home Invasion. First of all, there are too many ''girls I've slept with" songs. In particular "99 Problems" sets a record for the use of the word "bitch" in a song. One of the reasons that rap has failed to gain widespread acceptance in this country is that many people cannot see the serious artistic and political merit of a rap album, because it is often covered up by songs such as "99Problems."Idonotadvise Ice-Torotherrapperstodoaway with these songs, since I abhor censorship. However, if rappers wish to be taken seriously, they must cut down on the hyperbole and tell it like it is. The second negative point of the album is the lack of a rock 'n' roll song. Both Freedom of Speech and Original Gangster contained metal-like tracks which served to draw white listeners into Ice-T' s world. In fact the Body Count album, which was all speed metal, is what turned me on to rap in the first place. Perhaps Ice-Tis saving these songs for Born Dead, the second Body Count CD, which is due out this spring. Despite its shortcomings, Home In vasion is a triumph and shows that Ice-T has not lost any of his bite, despite his recent battles with police unions, Time-Warner and just about everyone else. My grade (after one listen),-on a scale of 10: 8.5. For those of you who are a little more on the pop side but still want to listen to music that educates, pick up Arrested Development' s Unplugged CD, which was also rele_ased this week. AD specializes in music and dance derived from African and Southern influences. The lyrics, however, are more down-to-Earth than most rap songs. Furthermore, this is the only rap group whose music can cut it when performed without heavy amplification and sampling. Be sure to catch them on Lollapalooza 3 this summer. My grade (again, based on one listen) : 8. AIR FORCE ROTC UNITS FILLED TO CAPACITY NOT! Don't believe everything you hear.

Some programs would not figure the inj ured player into its future plans. This is definitely not the case with Mark Buss, a sophomore at Wilkes University. A football standout and 1988 Dallas High School graduate , Mark is now pursuing a degree in Sociology at Wilkes. His athletic endeavors have been partially inspired by his parents. His mo ther, Nancy played basketball and track at Witc hita State. His father, Fred, played footb all there and had a short stint with the Detroit Lions. Duri ng the 1990 season, Mark tore a ligament but rehabilitated it and came back as a dominating force on Wilkes' defense for the 1992 season. Unfortunately, in the midst of that stellar 1992 season at defensive end, Mark was chop blocked after the whistle blew on a play to the opposite side of the field at Moravian. The knee injury he sustained from it, though unrelated to the first injury, involved the tear of two major ligaments. Despite this mishap, Mark has every intention to return for next season. Every day he can be found working out in the gym, riding the lifecycle, or jogging in an effort to rehabilitate his injury and the coITective surgery that fo llowed. About three hours of his day is set aside for th is hard work. The fact that Mark's doctor has guaranteed a 100% recovery of his knee is encouraging. Also, as stated, he has been thro ugh this before. In fact, before his first injury, Mark ran a 4.8 fo rty yard dash. After rehabilitating it he improved to a 4.6 forty time. Already he is ahead of schedule with his progress. "I have done all the rehabilitation on my own," says Mark, "I motivate myself. Hopefully I'll get down to about a 4.4 as a result of this (injury) ." Mar k 's phy s ic al qualities are impressive. He is extremely strong and has a very muscular build. His hands are big enough to palm his helmet (this is usually how he carries it) in the same manner a NBA star palms a basketball. At 6' 2", and trimmed down to 215 pounds, he expects to weigh in at around 230 by the start of next season. Likewise, the Wilkes University football program expects Mark Buss to play an important role in a very successful 1993 season. "We will utilize Mark however we can fit him into our scheme. We will use him all we can, on or off the field," said defensive coordinator, Frank Shep tock. Coach Sheptock feels Mark can do anything on the field, and is impressed by Sophomore Mark Buss is fighting back for his Wilkes football career. Aside from the action M ar k 's int e ns e ag gres si veness. Sheptock on the field, Mark values his state d, "He is the most relationships with the coaches physical player on our team, and other players. In regard to as well as in the conference the coaches he said, "I feel (MAC). He provides a they would do anything for tremendous physical and me at any time.

He also said that he Mark confirmed this would be comfortable going notion when asked what his to his coaches to discuss goal is during any particular personal situations. play.

"If you go at on making some changes to him, you had better do it with limit Mark's vulnerability on more than you've got, •the field and protect his because he will simply punish injury. "We will have him in you." a position where he can use his ability to ru n to the football, however, he will not be isolated as much and will be less of a target." Despite the fac t that Wilkes is expecting Mark Buss 's re turn , W ilkes' defense would be able to compensate should the very unfo rtunate situation arise where Mark could not pl ay this season. They successfully did such when he got injured last year. Mark's leadership and intimidation qualities . would seem hard to replace, however. No matter what happens, the prospects of a 6' 2", 230 pound man in pads, running a 4.4 forty is a frightening image for Wilkes' opponents in 1993. Especially if combined with the intensity, desire and will of Mark Buss.

Recently, Public Relas was allocated funding of 00,000, up from $20,000, to ntinue these ads for next 's Open House. Marc Davis, Director of lie Relations, says that the neywill be used toward more io and television advertis. Ten radio advertisements, ha one minute spot, cover ics that range from the edu·onal programs to the sports ilities available at Wilkes. e advertisements air on Z and other local radio tions. In addition the campus lion, WCLH, runs the adver· ments free of charge. The television adverments have a similar focus. television advertisements ogive a new telephone numr,1 -800-WILKES U, that insted students can call for ore information about the unirsity. Both advertisements ed in September, and were red toward increasing attenceattheSpringOpenHouse. The ads are responsible for making this year's Spring Open House one of the largest in the school's history. "This Open House we have 700 people coming, of which 240 are potential Wilkes students. That's the largest Open House in five years," says Davis. Davis says that there is a positive correlation between the increase in people attending the Open House and the advertisements. "The only thing that we did differently this year was the ads, and it has helped tremendously. A lot of people mention the 1-800 number or say they heard about the ads on the radio when they call to enroll or to sign up for the Open House" says Davis. Davis says that the increased budget for the Office of University Relations was important because they needed more money in order to keep the ads going. "It was very hard to do the ads with such low funding, and very hard to compete. However, now it won't be as hard to keep the ads going, and we can make them [the ads] better. We wantto formulate a plan in order for more people to come to Wilkes, and the ads help," says Davis. Emory Guffrovich, the Dean of Admissions, also agrees that the advertisements have helped the Admissions Office attract potential students to Wilkes . "Most people tell me that they heard about us on the radio or T .V . I think the ads are a good idea." This parking lot near Dennison Hall was one of the many lots on campus covered by the storm ..

His presentation will tline the factors behind the ·ure of the electronic trans'tting system teletext in the nited States. A native of Wilkes-Barre, radbury has been researching etext," a system of transmit. g text within the vertical ing interval of a television een," for most of the decade. r those who have the elec- tronic ·means to decode teletext signals, 40-50 words revealing recipes, trivia questions, headline news, sports scores or over 100 other bits of information are displayed on their television screens. "In its earlier days, teletext was a useful technology to mass media," said Bradbury. "However, new technologies and advances have made this system virtually obsolete today." In his research, Bradbury has also found that economic, social, and political factors, along with technological advances, have led teletext to fail in this country. In his presentation to the Broadcast Education Association, he will RtPLff<s ~ reveal and explain these factors. Bradbury received a B.A. from Heidelburg College, Ohio, his Masters in Drama from West Virginia University, and his Doctorate in Communications from Temple University.

Very truly yours, Lawrence Socci To the Editor: I am writing in reference to LancerBenson'sarticleintheMarch 11th Beacon. I hope that this communication will correct any fallacies or misconceptions that were construed. A lot of his allegations date back to the distant past but leads one to believe that they are currently in existence. A case in point is the clogged "pizza place-type juice dispensers" that a cafeteria employee stuck her arm into the juice to remove the obstruction. While I don't deny this happened, those machines have not been in use since the former food service contractor was at Wilkes . That contract left and Morrison's Hospitality Group took over in 1988, almost 5 years ago. I would also like to point out that Morrison's replaced those machines that dispensed a Kool-Aid type product with a modem much more sanirary machine that dispenses 100% real juice. All of my employees wear hair restraints. I will be the first to admit that hair restraints are not full proof and that an occasional hair can get into the food. This is not a problem unique to Wilkes and as I am sure you will agree can and does happen in the finest restaurants. · Fast Food Night was put on the menu at the request of the Wilkes are not left over from lunch.

They try to enhance this power by sing term limits and promoting an economy makes the people dependent on them (welstate). As I have thoroughly illustrated in past ar· 1es, Clinton has gone back and forth on his paign promises. He specifically said that he Id not raise taxes to pay for his proposed rams on anyone but the excessively produc.erich. Sadly, his classification of an exces. elyrich person worked its way down from a 'lionaire, to a $200,000 a year income earner, $180,000, and all the way down to a $30,000 year income earner. Meanwhile, democrats like Michael Dukakis hailing Clinton for his courage in asking the erican people to contribute. This would be ifthis was the premises on which the Ameripeople elected him. Instead he deceived the rs under the guise of promised tax cuts, and ged his tune after taking office, claiming whatever he does after the fact is sanctioned the American people since they elected him. pite this, the public doesn't seem to care ording to the media.

Imagine what would have happened if le had pulled one of these follies? Rememwhen he mispelled potato? Clinton explained his economic philosophy February 15th. The very next day the stock It has recently come to my attention that some members of the Class of 1993 have been circulating a petition to have the Commencement exercises moved outdoors. The same thing was tried last year, and it failed. It was tried the year before, and it failed. It was also tried the year before that, and it failed. So take some advice from an old hand at agitation and control: start only those wars that you have a prayer of winning. You can't win this one, so why not shift all of that attention to something of a little more practical concern to everyone involved - namely, the idiotic practice of allowing graduated members of the Class of 1993 to return to May Commencement? That's right. You read it correctly. The institution, in all of its wisdom, is allowing members of our class who graduated in January but refused to attend the ceremony to walk across the stage with us. This practice affects all concerned. In fact the only ones who benefit are the returning graduates, since they get one more chance to hog the spotlight. Think about it. For each member of the graduating class, allowing these students to return means a potential reduction in the number of tickets you are given. For those of you with large families, that means, if we allow them to walk across the stage with us, you may very well have to choose between inviting your brother and inviting your sister to the ceremonies. It's not a very inviting thought, is it? Remember, those people have already graduated. That means that, if they apply for a job, they can call the Registrar's Office and request a verification form that they have graduated from Wilkes University with a BA or BS.We can't do that. They are notthe ones who suffered through one more semester. They had their chance. It's just too bad if they don't want to take it. However, before anyone starts accusing me of being overly selfish let me point out the practical concern to the Administration. Dean Lampe-Groh is feverishly trying to shorten the length of the ceremony so that it doesn't drag on forever like it did last year. By not allowing the returning graduates to attend the commencement we can shave off at least ten to fifteen minutes. Remember, 0 Mighty Administrators, every little bit helps your dean. One of the graduating seniors said before she left this past December, "I'm not coming to the January graduation. Why should I? I have money, and money talks. I'm going to walk across market dropped 83 points. Clinton defended this by saying the stock m«rket does not determine anything. He said it was the bond market that really counts, and that the bond market is doing great! Too bad corporations need to resort to bonds for investment money when they can't generate enough funds from their own profits. If businesses have a high demand to borrow mony, what does this say for their production? I guess Clinton figures on enhancing the bond market's function by taxing whatever little self made profits these companies do make. Also, by taxing the consumer, he will take away the public's buying power, thus we won't be able to by many of our industry's products and these businesses can suffer even more! Finally, when all fails, the Clinton administration will then point at Reagan and Bush and say irreparable damages caused by these past administrations was too great for even their powers to fix (despite promises that they could). When considering Clinton's inconsistency, Gore's follies, and the questionable competency of the whole administration, I do not understand the public's idleness ( again according to the media). We crucified Dan Quale, held Bush to campaign promises, and are still trying to get a piece of Ronald Reagan as liberal prosecutors try and make a name for themselves by spending our tax dollars on Iran-Contra investigations- all because he embarrassed them in two elections and ran over a democratic Congress to pass policies . The truth is that the media has decided for us what is appalling and what is not. Lets wake up and be consistent and raise our standards again, rather than wait for the next republican presidency for us to do so. We held Bush and Reagan to a certain standard of excellence and battered them when we felt they deviated from it. The Clinton administration should be held to the same. * * * In last week's article, I told stories about a few of the grote~;que experiences I had at th e Wilkes' cafeteria. a few years ago.

Their moral is high under the new company, Morrison's Hospitality Group, and surely worth mention.

Item the First: As you may have noticed I spend a large amount of space in this publication 'ticizing ABM. While I am not apologizing for previous remarks (I never apologize, because I'm ver wrong), I must commend two members of the maintenance staff. Sometime on Saturday night, keys were stolen from my room. I admit to being enough of dunderhead to leave them in the lock. Furthermore, I managed to lock myself out of my room next day (I said I was never wrong, not never a butthead). Anyway, I could find neither an RA ra security guard to let me in, since neither wanted to answer their phones. However, as soon lcontacted ABM they sent a man over, despite the fact that all of their men were busy shoveling t pitiful snowfall. I was back in my room within ten minutes. However, this story pales in comparison to the actual retrieval of my keys. Apparently, an Mworker found them while shoveling snow. Yes, he managed to find a set of keys buried in four-foot high snowbank. Perhaps he should be employed searching for intelligence in the publican Party. I wish to thank both of these men and admit that I realize that, while it may not always be vious to us, at least some of the ABM workers are doing their jobs, and then some. Item the Second: If you've been reading The Beacon lately, you may have noticed the ginning of a tiff between ourselves and Student Government ( once again, such as it is). While generally have no problem with SG this whole nomination thing is starting to bother me. I saw a sign today (illegally posted on the glass door leading into Pickering) stating that the date for nomination forms has been moved back "due to inclement weather." I wasn't aware ta large snowfall impaired one's ability to sign a petition. Perhaps SG realized (thanks, in no small part, to an editorial you saw here last week) that they re, indeed, being unfair by failing to adequate! y publicize the nomination process. We shall see the sparks continue to fly ... Item the Third: Since we were besieged by snow over the weekend ( 0 K, so I can't quit talking about it), we were spared the influx of visitors from local high schools to our beautiful campus. However, we can't put off the inevitable. We'll be seeing them in droves this weekend. The reason this concerns me is the fact that I like to eat brunch sometime before 3 p.m. on the kends. However, the Admissions Office makes sure to lead the visitors into the Cafeteria right around noon, when the facility is at its busiest. I'd like to suggest that they hold off on the high a:hoolers (and their parents and grandparents and dogs and horses and ant farms) until 1 p.m. After all, we do ·pay to go here. I don't feel it too much to ask that we receive at least the same consideration as people who MIGHT choose to go here sometime in the future. Item the Fourth: It concerns me that we here at The Beacon are receiving few, if any, letters 1Dthe editor. Between Bonnie, Al, Lancer and myself, we try to come up with enough thoughtirovoking material to bring about a flood of correspondence. However, until the recent Cafeteria tbate (which is hardly a pivotal issue), our mailbox has been empty. It has come to my attention that our editorial last week, which questioned the integrity of Student Government, was not well received by SG. If this is the case, I ask that the members of SG not be satisfied by complaining to myself or another one of the editors in the cafeteria over the condiment bar. Rather, I encourage you to write to us, so that your opinions might be heard by a ger audience. After all, you are to represent the voice of the people. Perhaps these people ought ID hear your side of the story. mx This goes for the rest of the student body as well. I've heard erous anonymous complaints about my work. I have the guts stupidity) to print my opinions every week and sign my name them. You can do the same. Green Jello The The Stone Temple Pilots Denis Leary King Missile 6. Lemonheads 7.

They called for it and it came. The it in this case is the mother of all snow storms - the Blizzard of '93. Many college students found themselves creeping along the interstates doing 20 miles an hour through a foot or more of snow. Where were they heading? This question can be answered in one of two ways. First, they were heading to sunny, warm, exciting spring break spots in Florida. The exciting part is the way these coeds may describe their trip to Florida. While we were getting pounded with snow, they - the people in the South - were being attacked by snow's cousin, rain. This caused much damage once again for the people in Florida, because accompanying the rain were gusts of wind that destroyed anything that stood in their way. The second way this question could be answered is that the coeds were traveling back to their places of higher learning. Some did manage to avoid the storm in Florida, but they soon found out that no one can run from Mother Nature. By now your probably are tired of hearing about the Blizzard of '93 and are also wondering why would a sports editor be writing about this. Well, my children, here comes the $50 answer. The reason I am writing about this is because, from this, one can tie certain aspects of the storm to not only life in general but also sports. The way this ties into sports is that people were helping one another for a common goal. They pulled together and, please excuse the pun, "dug in" and worked together so that everyone would be happy. As the coach of any team knows the way to win is through togetherness. Who would have thought that from something so horrible as this storm, some kind of good would have resulted? I hope that people around the world will take note of the efforts put forth by the people who got through the storm and realize that if we work together, only good can come from it.

The engione of the hands on out the motor. No one is sure how much the repairs will cost. The bell tower is cared for by Facilities Management and ABM. The music is programmed by ABM. The idea of a bell tower at Wilkes University was first proposed by Dr. Charles Burns . Dr Burns (Class of 1935) was one of the first graduates of Bucknell Junior College to become a physician. He also went on to become a father, husband, community leader and contributor to Wilkes University. He has served on the Board of Trustees as well. In 1985 the University celebrated its 50th anniversary. John Chwalek, who had worked for the University since 1946 as a sociology professor, Guidance and Placement Director, Admissions Counselor and Special Assistant wanted to dedicate a building in honor of Dr. Burns. "I decided Wilkes needed a landmark and a place where students can have a focal meeting point," said Chwalek. Chwalek toured other schools, such as Duke University and Clemson University, and found that they both had clock towers. "I liked the idea of a clock tower, because it is a focal meeting place, and decided to go with that," said Chwalek. The money came from Dr. Burns, friends of Dr. Burns and a substantial gift from the Class of 1970. The amount of money from the Class of 1970 was $42,181.06. Some money also came from the Class Account. Altogether, the cost for the construction of the clock exceeded $50,000. The construction of the bell tower began in 1985 and took two years to complete. The Burns Alumni Tower and Carillon was dedicated on October 24, 1987. The bell tower is a meeting place for students. Many activities arc held near it, such as Cluh Day. It also serves as a way of making sure that students get to class on time. Until the hell tower is fixed students will have to rely on their watches to make class on time. 111 Inside ...

Elmes-Crahall discussed ons" she "learned over the three years in [her] research oearly American orators," rah Sampson Gannett and E. Dickinson. Elmes-Crahall said that it thetwo women "a voice, a ge, and courage to change icattitudes." According to Elmes-Crahall, u was the first American nsoldier to fight in comserving in the Continental y during the American olutionary War. In order to so, however, Gannett had to disguise herself as a man, enlisting as Robert Shurtleff. Later on during a tour in 1802, she was the first American woman to speak in public. "Her lecture tour raised questions about woman's role in the republic, prompting audiences to complete arguments implied by her example. [S]he showed that a woman could function on equal terms with men when gender biases were removed, or temporarily 'equalized' by means of disguise or personage," said Elmes-Crahall. "Deborah Sampson Gannett did what other patriotic colonial women assumed they never could-she fought for independence in combat, and she justified her actions in a lecture tour. .. Gannett was impulsive, bold, and courageous." Dickinson, the first woman hired by a national political party to lecture, became the highest paid politic al lecturer of the ci vii war era stated Elmes-Crahall. Dickinson campaigned for the Republican party extensively in Northeastern Pennsylvania, making a stop in Wilkes-Barre. "In the face of open hostility, she used wit, eloquence and skillful interaction with hecklers to turn crowds to her side. She was able to gain the respect of some of the people most resistant to a female speaker- miners in the coal regi o n , including WilkesBarre. Theyrespectedhercourage," said Elmes-Crahall . Elmes-Crahall said that researching these two women allowed her to realize and acknowledge thecontributions of women who have been silenced "by gender bias or neglect in academe." Elmes-Crahall also wondered what the two women would say about current controversies, like allowing gays in the military or hate crimes, noting that Dickinson and Gannett would probably be "deeply disappointed." "We are their newest, and I hope, renewed, audience. With appreciation for the accomplishments of remarkable women in the past, may we develop our own voice, message, and courage," concluded Elmes-Crahall. Gdefends funding for Florida trip er itor MICHAEL LOVERDI con Sta.ff Writer The Wilkes Student Governt (SG) has received critifor donating $820 to the ent Community Service uncil (SCSC ) for eight es students to go to Florida rip rebuild areas that were byHurricane Andrew. One argument against the 'sspending is that the money ht be better spent here at John Comerford, SG ureranswers, "Yes. That's they [student government] thousands of dollars each toaidsuch local problems." omerford explained the SG rts projects like VISION, bitat for Humanity," the mingChapterofthe United y, "Bowl for Kids," St. ent De Paul Soup Kitchen "Into the Streets." udent Government felt that aid to the Florida victims 963 was also to repay an old debt. When the Agnes Flood devastated the Wilkes-Barre area in 1972, Florida and many other states were very responsive. Many volunteers rushed to the area to help the flood victims rebuild this community . The SCSC feels they are returning a welcomed favor. As John Comerford said, "When a disaster of this magnitude occurs in any area of the country, the entire country has to mobilize to support them. Just local money can't handle the disaster." Dean Mark Allen, the SG advisor, recognized Wilkes' willingness to help as "symbolic." He added thatthe view of Wilkes University lending a hand toothers in need will leave a warm impression in areas both far and near. As SG President Kevin Barno said, "It [could] someday be our country" facing disaster. The $820 donation to a committee that is not even a year old has bothered many students. However, what those critics have failed to realize is thatthe SCSC's purpose is to provide public service, and as Comerford stated, "In their sh01t time of existence, they have done a phenomenal amountofcommunityservice." This fact is part of the reason SG decided to allocate the money to SCSC. SG also felt that it would be great publicity and exposure for the budding committee. Dean Allen said the SCSC trip would add great experience to the group. The eight members travelling to Florida are to report to the rest of the group when they return to Wilkes and will hopefully gain some national exposure. Elmes-Crahall is an active scholar in women's studies and political communication, with recent publications on gender constraints facing female public speakers of the 19th and 20th century. Carmella Osborne, a senior communcications major at 3 Wilkes, helped Elmes-Crahall with her research on Dickinson, traveling with Elmes-Crahall to the Library of Congress to transcribe four versions of one of Dickinson's speeches . Osborne and Elmes-Crahall havejustcompleted a rhetorical criticism of the speech.

VITA offered the help to people who filed Form 1040EZ, Form 1040A, or Form l 040 Federal tax returns, as well as to those needing assistance completing state and local tax forms. With tax day sneaking up on everyone, people streamed in looking for assistance. Volunteer Joe McBride described the turnout as, "crowded." According to McBride, the students stayed an extra hour to help all those who came looking for assistance. The group completed 67 tax returns. Despite having to work overtime, the students did not complain. "It was great to help the people of my community," said Dennis Budd.

Walking into your first class with feelings of anticipation, mixed with fear, nervousness and anxiety? Now try to envision yourself 10 or 20 years from now. You walk into class with all of those same fears, but now sprinkle in a mortgage and car payment, day-care worries and the responsibilities of a job. Does that prospect scare you? Well, the 700 adult students at Wilkes face those fears and many more every day. Everyone knows parking is a problem, especially at night. Try to leave work at 5:45 p.m., drive from Berwick, Hazleton, or Scranton, (the State Police and I are on a first name basis), grab something to eat, (drivethru windows take on a whole new meaning) and get to campus by 6:20 only to find that the closest parking space is at Quartet delights audience in CPA The DaPonte Suing Quartet performed to a full house Saturday night in the CPA. The quartet captured the audience with their spectacular sound and percussion playing skills. The quartet is comprised of members Ferdinand Liva and Gabriel Gordon, who alternate between first and second violin; Mark Preston, viola; and Myles Jordan, cello. The quartet which is schooled in the Hungarian tradition of ensemble playing performed such pieces as Mozart's "Quar, tet, KV 156" and Claude Debussy's "Quartet, OP 10." Along with these two pieces, the group also performed Antonin Dvorak's "Quintet in A Major, OP 81." Seymour Bernstein played piano on the Dvorak piece. adult student, we at the Weekend, Evening, and Summer Programs office are making our presence felt." This office, located on the second floor of Conyngham Student Center, offers many support services to the adult student. "Adult students find it difficult to overcome their own self-consciousness."

After creating a parking space, spend the next two hours and 45 minutes taking notes, only to get back in the driver's seat for another 20 to 45 minutes. However, despite all of this, adults students should not despair. There is help here on campus. According to Henry Steuben, Director of Weekend, Evening, and Summer Programs at Wilkes, "Although Wilkeshasn'tfullyaccepted the One of the music students in the audience commented, "the' Dvorak String Quartet was the highlight of the evening and I believe it was executed very well as an ensemble." The guest artist, Seymour Bernstein has studied with such piano greats as Alexander Brailowsky, Nadia Boulanger, Georges Enuscu, and Sir Clifford Curzon. He made his symphonic debut with the Chicago Symphony in 1969 and has been world-renowned since then. In addition to his recitals and appearances with orchestras and chamber music ensembles, he is wellknown throughout the world for his educational programs and masters.

What's slower than a speeding bullet, and able to htt tall buildings at a single bound? 11, 1993 PAGE Letters from Wyoming BY ANDY GULDEN Co-Copy Editor Despite the fact that I'm dying from a cold, I have decided to bring you yet another volume of mind-expanding thoughts. I realize that, besides being a space-filler, my column can also make the difference between a satisfied Beacon reader and a messy suicide (I' II let you decide which is the result of my writings). Item the First: A few years hack, a young lady was injured in a car accident. She had been in a coma since that time. Doctors had determined that she would remain in a permanent vegetative state. Her father had begged officials to let him pull the plug, hut they refused. Finally, despite objections from pro-lifers, he was allowed to do so this past Sunday, ending both his and hL:r torture. Is this a happy ending? Of course it isn't. However, there should never have been a story in the first place. Once again, the conservatives are sticking their noses in matters which do not concern them. The aforementioned pro-lifers claimed that, hy disconnecting the life-support equipment, the girl's father would he "playing God ." IITm not mistaken, the girl would have died years ago without these machines. It seems to me, then, that keeping the girl alive hy artificial means is more god-like then letting her expire naturally . Item the Second: Many of my loyal readers may have concluded that I'm a liberal. With that thought in mind, you may want to sit down for this next one - SOCIALIZED MEDICINES UC:-:S 1 There, I've said it. Perhaps this calls for an explanation . The fact is, friends , we live in a capitalist society. If doctors (or, as we call them today, health care professionals) realize that ALL of their fees will he paid hy the government, prices will go up faster than the World Trade Center. They're already salivating at the mere thought of it. Socialized medicine succeeds in socialist countries. This is not to criticize the idea of social izcd medicine or socialism (although they're hoth had ideas). Rather, we must rcali1.e that our government, already in dire straits, cannot afford to fund the greedy medical and phannaccutical industries. That's what greedy insurance companies arc for. Item the Third: What's the deal in Waco? How can a group which claims to he Christian (the religion of peace) feel it acceptable to shoot and kill government agents to furthci their religious views? And you thought Jehovah's Witnesses were annoying'! Item the Fourth: In the next few days you may he approached hy someone attempting to sl'. 11 you candy. Before you tum away, ask the person why they're sdling the candy. The reason rm asking you to do this is because there's an attempt to hring the famed AIDS quilt to W11!· ~s. and this is what the money is for. I implore you to support this cause, since it is imperative that we continue to educate ourselves and our community on the nature of AIDS. The quilt serves as a very graphic reminder of the toll that AIDS has taken on our nation. Besides, the candy tastes good and I didn't find a single razor blade in it. It~m the Fifth: I just looked out the window at our beautiful campus and I swear to you that I saw the Wilkes Secu1ity golf cart traveling down Franklin Street. Isn't this vehicle enough of a menace on the campus without traveling the city streets (which is, after all, illegal)'! A few weeks ago, a guard drove it into a lamp post (yes, I saw it happen).

The game came down to the wire, but the Lady Colonels held on for a 44-43 win and the ECAC title. Colonel of the Week Azarewicz again led with 14 and was also named the tournament's MVP (Most Valuable Player).

On the season Wilkes broke eight school records including best record ever, most wins in a season, defensive average (62.8), three-pointers in a season (90), and rebounds in a season (1142). Leading the Lady Colonels in scoring this year was Chinchar. Grapplers end seas BY BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer The Wilkes University wrestling team wrapped up its season with a record of 16-9. Al though the Colonel grapplers faced several key injuries throughout the year, they recorded their 38th straight winning season. "The injuries gave our underclassmen reserves good experience.

Key returning wrestlers are Heath Fleisher (heavyweight), with a record of 23-9 and 12 pins, and Mike Evans (150 pounds), with a record of 22-4 and three pins.
