Dr. Chri stopher Breise th In order to keep the number of transfer student coming to Wilkes on the rise, Breiseth wants Wilkes to be the "university of choice for transfer students." Wilkes is looking at new programs and services for the non-traditional student. Providing daycare to adult students is a "major target of opportunity," said Breiseth. Campus will become bigger and better within the upcoming years, Breiseth promised. Two building across from the Marts Center on South Franklin Street have been acquired by Wilkes . One of the buildings will be torn down and made into a parking lot, while the other will become the new CenterforStudentServices. The center will be equipped with an elevator for easy access for all students. Plans are also being discussed for the construction of a new building between Conyngham Student Center and Sturdevant Hall. These projects require money from an already "lean" budget of just under $32 million, stated Breiseth. The budget has a two percent increase in faculty and staff salaries. Breiseth wants to, "try to bring salaries [of the faculty and staff at Wilkes] up to the national norm ." An increase in room and board for students is also outlined in the budget. While the Wilkes' budget may seem like an enormous figure, Breiseth empha- sized that it was a symbol of, "sacrifice and investment." Breiseth spent his sabbatical in both California and Japan. While in California, Breiseth was involved with a variety of meetings ranging from the University of California-Santa Clara/Berkley Alumnus meeting to a meeting with a 1966 Wilkes graduate whose research involves Taxol, a new cancer drug. Then, Breiseth and his wife traveled to Japan, and spent 18 days sightseeing, visiting a university, and spending time with thierdaughter Erica who teaches there. Cafeteria dispels rumors of low grade fo od By BRAD -HAYS Beacon Sta.ff Writer As one student put it, "It's the worst food I've ever tasted." This is a usual response to the cafeteria food. Students may be surprised to find out that the cafeteria food is good quality. According to Director of Dining Services, Denny Drezek, the cafetria food is distributed by a local Pittson company called Bevaco. "All of our food, from meat to mustard, is distributed by this company," Drezek said. Drezek says the meat, one of the most common complaints students have about the food, is actually United States Agricultural Department Choice Meat. This means that ii is one step lower than prime meat, which is the best meat available. Rumors ' have recenlty circulated that some meat is Grade D, or one step away from edible. Drezek emphasises that this is untrue. "Our company has a strict policy. We cannot order a cheaper grade of meat, or else we get in trouble," said Drezek. The meat isn't the only cafeteria food that is high quality, Drezek said. All of the brands they use are well-known. Brands such as Heinz, Lea and Perins, Uncle Ben's, Taster's Choice, Carnation, and Blue diamond, are used. As for the meat products, they use Tyson, Bil Mar Turkey Breast, and Kunzler Hot Dogs. "These are some of the best brands of meat," according to Drezek. Vegetables are also national brands such as Hanover . Mrs T's Pierogies are used. According to Drezek, all of the soups except for Cream of celery, Cream of Mushroom, and Tomato, are made from scratch in the cafeteria. The money for all the food comes out of the money from the meal plan. The cafeteria gets $1.5 8 per meal. However, this rate can change from day to day. "It all depends on how many people show up . We use an absentee and participation rate," Drezek said. They assume not everyone will show up for every meal, so they spend more money on food because they don't serve every student, and costs stay low. "If everybody showed up to the cafeteria, then the amount you pay for food would help to triple,"Drezek added. The $1.58 paid for,each meal not only goes towards food and supplies, but is also used to help pay for things like labor, dishes, and glasses. If a student got a nineteen week meal plan, it The sala argot a facelift this semester. would cost $900 a semester. Drezek said out of that total Drezek says that the one to move because of the amount of money about $500 is complaint he gets most often is soda dispensers . "People take used for the food and labor.

The discussion, presented by the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, was the brainchild of Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of the School of Science and Engineering. Also participating were Dr. James Merryman, associate professor of anthropology/sociology, and Dr. Dennis Hupchick, associate professor of history. The discussion was moderated by Tom Bigler, professor of communications . Nejib, a native of Baghdad, opened the discussion with a commentary on the Middle East. Although he focused on his homeland, Iraq, he said his observations could be extrapolated to other nations in the region. Nejib suggested that United States efforts to control events in the Middle East have contributed significantly to the . . ·. ·. . . ·. . : . . . . . . . . . . : . :·. : .. ::. PAGE3 Kozel urges connection with the environment strife in that region. For instance, by providing weapons to Iran, the US inadvertently forced Saddam Hussein to invade Kuwait, a nation not only rich in oil but strategic in its location. Hupchick addressed the problems in the former Yugoslavia. He said, since Yugoslavia was an artificial mix of six nationalities, three civilizations and 10 other ethnic groups, it was bound tofailasanation-state. Thedomination of the various factions by the Serbians led to the resentment which, in turn, brought civil war. Merryman said the conflict in Somalia is partly the U.S.'s fault. The weapons used by the warlords, who came into power after a 21-year military government was overthrown in 1988, were provided by the US for defense against the Soviet-supported Communist regime in neighboring Ethiopia in the 1980's. The panel discussion focused on the current events in the Middle East, BosniaHercegovina and Somalia which cannot be found in any newspaper. :· 4, 1993 By MICHAEL LOVERDI Beacon Sraff Writer Constance Kozel, director of the Interfaith Fellowship for Peace and Justicealerted listeners to the darkening trend of today's societies. She related the continual neglect of the environment and constant violence to the loss of human spirit. Dr. Maragrita Rose, assistant professor of economics at King's College, and Kozel spoke at the Wilkes Faculty/ Community Group's February 26 meeting. Their discussion was entitled "Peace, Justice and the Environment." Kozel said human spirit is born in the blooming flowers, colorful trees, singing birds and nature's surrounding beauty. However, Kozel continued to say that as nature's beauty is diminishing and violence overwhelms each society, the human spirit is dying as well. Rose viewed justice, peace, and the environment on two levels. Rose stated that you must see yourself connected to the environment inside and out. The earth's survival craves . ·. : human care just as human survival depends on a healthy earth, continued Rose. The earth is a growing being just as a human is; abuse and neglect have the same effect on both things concluded Rose. The other level is the political and economic view. Rose analyzed the allocation and constant use of the earth's resources and asked, "How just is the distribution?" Rose followed the question with an eye-opening example-the depletion of the Brazilian rain forests. Rose and Kozel concluded that the best way to keep justice, peace, and a healthy environment is to connect yourself with the earth and with one another. The next Faculty/Community meeting will be Friday, March 26 at noon in the Board Room of Weckesser Hall. O'Boyle speaks to/ABC By LYNN KRUTZ Beacon Co-Copy Editor Bill O'Boyle, Director of Community Relations at the John Heinz Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine, addressed members of the Wilkes' chapter of International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) at the group's March 2 meeting. O'Boyle discussed how he made the transition from newspaper to public relations work. A graduate of Wilkes , O'Boyle spoke about his career at The Citizen's Voice, beginning as a stringer and then finally working as a columnist for the daily paper. Citing some of the more interesting stories he covered while at the newspaper, O'Boyle talked about reporting on what interested him and what he knew about as an area native . O'Boyle became affiliated with the John Heinz Institute after 10 years at The Citizen's Voice .

We thought about having the soda machines outside in the dining hall, but we have no main line to connect them to," said Drezek. In the meantime, he suggests students could get their soda from the dispenser on the other side. The other complaints vary from day to day. "We get compalints about cereal, saying that there is not enough variety in health cereals. We only have one main distributor, General Mills, and they can 't send ten different types pf cereals. Most people like sugar-coated cereals anyway, and that's why we have more sugar-coated cereals. We also get complaints about a specific meal, or a specific food from day to day," says Drezek. The complaints are looked at often. "We are very responsive to problems. We wouldn't be working here, if we were not responsive to the students complaints," Drezek said. There is an Active Food Service Commitee run by students. They are responsible for planning the Fiesta Nights, Drezek said. Some of the upcomingFiestanights will be Ital- ian Night in March and Mexican Night in April. The Committee members regularly fill out opinion polls on the food. "The food is tested for taste, apperance, and temperature. If something is wrong students write down what it is , and whether they like that food or not. This saves us the problem of second guessing as to what students likeordon'tlike," Dr<?l. ek said. · "If a student has a complaint he should tell me or one of the other workers as soon as they spot it. Most students wait till after they eat to mention the problem, when the problem could have been spotted while in the line, and could have been fixed . For example, if your peas get cold while you are standing in line, and you realize it once you sit down, don' t wait until after you eat to tell us about us, tell us as soon as you find out, and will we fix the problem," Drezek said. He added that if students still have questions and doubts about the food, he The Wilkes University Speech and Debate Union finished fifth at the recent Pennsylvania State Individual Events Tournament at Bloomsburg University.

One would think that SG, after receiving much scrutiny from some of our campus clubs and organizations, would think twice, or maybe even three times, when giving such a large amount of money to such a small group of students. Wouldn't that money be better spent to help the homeless or those who are less fortunate right here in Wilkes-Barre? Better yet, many of our other clubs and organizations who try to do special tasks for people in the community are frequently told that they must do more fundraising. The $820 "will pay for travel expenses," as stated in the February 25 issue of The Beacon. Couldn't the SCSC get the money directly from the University, instead of the general fund which is obtained from Wilkes students' general service fees? The SCSC has been in existence for a year, if that, yet SG found it feasible to give such a relatively new group so much money. And has anyone ever noticed how much money has been allotted to "councils" at Wilkes? The reason for pointing this particular out is that "councils" get voting rights at SG meetings. We want to here from you, the student body of Wilkes University; does SG practice fairly and democratically when allocating funds or is this a self-serving practice? Drop off your reply to the Beacon box in the mail room, it's time for SG to here from the constituents it serves . PAGES Uv1ive.rs,+y +o holo\.

Unfortunately (and through no fault of my own), my facetious awards proved to be not nearly as humorous as the actual Grammys, given out last Wednesday by the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Let's take a closer look ... Record of the Year/Song of the Year: These two categories (the first award goes to the performer, the second to the songwriter) contained the same nominees (as well as the same winner), so we can deal with them together. First of all, any category which nominates Billy Ray Cyrus for ANYTHING (in this case, "Achy Breaky Heart") can be dismissed. Secondly, the other nominees (k.d. lang's ;:constant Craving," Vanessa Williams' "Save the Best for Last" and Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson's "Beauty and the Beast") are little more than romantic tripe which is traditionally favored by the voters. The winner, however, goes beyond the typical tearjerker. Eric Clapton's "Tears in Heaven" is the most depressing song to hit the airwaves since Richard Marx's "Hold on to the Nights." I'd be willing to bet that this song caused more suicides than all of Judas Priest's songs combined. In my opinion there were dozens of songs more deserving of these awards than Clapton's. Album of the Year: The nominees were mostly the same as above, with Annie Lenna~ and U2 supplanting Cyrus and Williams. However, the award once again went to Clapton for Unplugged. Let me get this straight. Clapton's lethargic performance of a few 20-year-old songs is better than fresh releases from bands such as Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Red Hot Chili Peppers? Best New Artist: This is one of the few awards which went to the right people. Arrested Development deserved to win over an admittedly weak field of Cyrus, Sophie B. Hawkins, Kriss Kross and Jon Secada. The academy has a history of giving this one to a one-hit wonder. Fortunately, for at least one year, they broke this trend. Best Rock Vocal, Male: Once again, Clapton picked up the trophy for Unplugged. There are a plethora of rockers who are much better singers than Clapton (Queensryche' s Geoff Tate, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, etc.) However,the academy once again stuck with the sentimental favorite. Best Rock Vocal, Duo or Group: U2' s Achtung Baby was the only rock 'n' roll nominated here, so it won. It's too bad the academy never recognized U2 when they were good. Best Metal Performance: Nine Inch Nails, an industrial project of Trent Reznor, won for "Wish." Other nominees included Ministry, another industrial band, and Helmet, a hardcore outfit. Did the academy misunderstand its assignment here? Perhaps they ought to include a few voters under the age of 84. Rock Instrumental: Stevie Ray Vaughan wonfor"Little Wing." STEVIERAYVAUGHAN DIED TWO YEARS AGO!!! If you figure this one out, let me know. Rock Song: I hate to beat a dead horse (that's why I didn't say too much about Stevie Ray), but Clapton's "Layla" did NOT deserve this award. Not only was it written more than two decades ago, but the version which appears on Unplugged is lethargic and relentlessly boring, a far cry from the intensity of the original. Meanwhile, Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," two of the best singles in recent rock memory, went home losers. The academy is continuing to reside in the past (remember Natalie Cole? So did they). Best Alternative Music Album: The nominees here were five stale, tired acts (The B-52' s, The Cure, Morrissey, Tom Waits and XTC) who have little to do with the cmTent explosion of the alternative scene. I don't even care who won. Rap Solo Performance: This is the biggest joke of the bunch. While men like Ice-T and Ice Cube are making music which reflects the problems of urban youth, their work has been ignored by the academy. Meanwhile, Sir Mix-A-Lot walked away with the trophy for "Baby Got Back," a song about enlarged buttocks. By giving out trophies for metal, rap and alternative, the academy has made an attempt to recognize new forms of expression. However, to make these awards legitimate the academy must honor the people who truly make the best music, not those who sell the most records or warm the most hearts. * * * In other news, a new club is forming here on the Wilkes campus.

Stories of women being exploited or suppressed are endless. Accounts of African- Americans being the victims of racial prejudice and their rise to overcome it are abounding and chronically revisite4 Homosexuals are demanding marriage rights and freedom in the armed forces . The plight of Hispanics, who are quickly becoming the most prominent minority group, is getting the attention of the latest media trends. This preoccupation with the social errors of our history, as well as the contemporary lingering inequalities that remain, seems noble enough . The disgust over the slave trade and segregation that followed is unarguable. Delayed suffrage and diminished work force opportunities limited the freedom of women. Hispanics are immigrating like wild fire and, like homosexuals, are concerned about their place in this free country. Members of these groups constantly plead their cases and the media wallows in it. Proponents such as Jesse Jackson, Donna Shalala, and Queer Nation are demanding unrestrictive affirmative action and desire reparations for their suffering. The preferred medium these groups use to proclai m these demands is of a loud vocal publicized sort and in excess. In studying for an American History exam on the Western frontier, I was struck with a serious question in light of all this. What about the Native American? This group never seems to complain . They fought for their right to Ii ve freely on American soil, were massacred and stuck on barren bits ofland, and that was it. The media is rarely compelled to discuss the plight of these people accurately, except to exploit a bingo empire established on a given reservation. However, in reading The American Pageant by Thomas A. Baily and David M. Kennedy, I was reminded that the violation and suffering of the Native American was, and continues to be, perhaps the worst trials experienced by any group of people in history. In Colorado in 1864 the U.S. military massacred in cold blood 400 Indians who were hanging out thinking · they had been promised immunity. "Women were shot praying for mercy, children had their brains dashed out, and braves were tortured, scalped, and unspeakably mutilated," state Baily and Kennedy. Such raids were commonplace. Often a dying brave with hi s genitals maimed or removed would watch his mate get repeatedly raped in front of him as his children lay dead. This is despite the media's insistence that the only victims in those days were innocent covered wagons filled with passive settlers getting attac ked by swarming Indi ans. Also, it was not only the white troops who took part in this. A fi fth of all troops sent to the fro ntier were black. The Sioux, Nez Perce and Apache Indians were of the most retali ating tribes, until being whipped out close to extinction or forced to surrender when their women were rounded up and sent to reservations when the braves were off at war. Other tribes were more submissive and easily abused. As The American Pageant also states, " ...innocent Indians were killed foro utrages committed by their fell ow tribesmen; sometimes they were shot just for sport." The frontier settlers also ruined the Indians by destroying their most valuable resources. Settlements and the railroad absorbed their land. Also, disruptive settlers then destroyed the buffalo. At the Civil War's end, about 15 million bison roamed the plains until hired settlers killed them off so their stampedes did not interfere with the railroads, leaving the bodies wastefully rotting away. For amusement, sportsmen would even shoot them from the train car windows <,iS they would pass. Less than a thousand of these animals were alive by 1885. By giving the Indians whisky, to which they had little resistance, the settlers destroyed many of their remaining souls. Alcoholism is a problem on reservations to this day. Of course, given what they went through, that is hardly a surprise. Finally, trading blankets laced with small pox and other diseases and parasites was a favorite technique of the settlers. Herded up and put on worthless reservations, the Indians were completely dependent on the government (like the Clinton constituent). Federal agents responsible for supplying the Indians would pocket government money and give the reservations tainted food, torn blankets and, of course, more alcohol. Guarded only by treaties (their only semblance of an Emancipation Proclamation), the Native Americans found little comfort. Such treaties were often broken, and the settlers would steal from the reservations, sometimes sexually violating the women in the process. Now recall what happens when a contemporary minority has his or her civil rights violated! Endless accounts of the injustices brought upon the Native American can be recited. The bottom line is that the treatment of the Native Americans was a sort of genocide. They were almast entirely killed off (literally), but culturally they were Sl.lbtly killed off. A civilization of hunters and gatherers is forever gone. Their independence, land to roam and resources were stripped from them. They are left restricted and controlled. Our wasteful culture did not even learn from their methods of optimally using resources and love of land, as was evident in the manner in which Native Americans harvested the buffalo, using every bit of the animal and out of necessity. Yet, despite this disgusting and vile atrocity against mankind, it seems these people are not complaining about their oppression or the racially motivated hardships that were inflicted upon them. At least it seems that way when considering the attention given to it by the media. This is in relation to the time given the endless mi nority interest groups who take the platform on a dai ly basis to complai n about their position in society. What does an Native American sitting in his living room fi lled with family relics think when someone like Reverend Al Sharpton comes on the 1V to demand a quota, supporting hi s position by revisiting the years of segregation. Perhaps the Native American may consider his years of "isolation." What does the Native American think when Donn a Shalala cries out against the gender impact of the word "forefatl1ers?" Perhaps this Native American regards the people that took his freedom. What are the Native American' s thoughts about homosexuals crying out against Celestial Seasonings tea? Perhaps this Native American remembers the breath of alcohol on his dying grandfather. The truth is, we will probably never know exac tly what he thinks. This Native American is no,t saying muc h. At least the media is not interested in telling us. He is not of interest. Students on Wilkes• campus seem to complain about many things. I should know. However, I think students are misdirecting their anger and frustration in the case of the Farley Library. Personally, I think the Farley Library is the best of the university libraries in this area, having the most current periodicals and journals, the best fiche machines, a wider variety of books than most, and one of the better inter-library services. As a debater, I find that I need to consult a variety of periodicals and journals almost as soon as they are released. Through the last four years, I have found that, compared to King's College, the University of Scranton, and Bloomsburg University, Wilkes' library has the widest variety of current and up-to-date periodicals and journals. The only area in which King's even begins to touch us is in their holdings of government documents. However, when you consider that they are a governmert depository, we don't fare so badly. Naturally, to read some of these holdings you '11 need to use one of the fiche machines. I know that many complaints are lodged about these machines, but what most students do not realize is this: the Farley Library sports the best machines in the valley. Every time I have used other libraries, their machines weren't working. Even when they did work, the results were worse than anything our machines produce even on a bad day. However, I can't remember ever experiencing a situation in which Wilkes' machines were shut down for an entire day. However, using these resources will, for the most part, only provide you with a basic understanding of events . For more in-depth information, you'll need to tum to books, and Wilkes has this area covered, too. Through my need to do extensive research, I have found that our library offers a wide coverage of subjects from philosophy and mathematics to history, art, and science. What's more, it offers students some older textbooks, which they can use to find a different point of view or a different way of understanding basic principles used in many of their classes . Of course, the library can't have everything so it offers students a fairly good inter-library loan service. With regard to that service, I have never personally had a problem. Everything I have requested arrived well within ~he two-week period required, and the staff members who helped me were always kind and courteous. This is not say, however, that our library doesn't have its faults. I find it annoying when both of its copiers break down, as often happens. I also fi nd it disturbing to hear one of its staff members blame the students whenever she fi nds something wrong. These are minor problems when you compare them to what's afoot in the Administration's mind (yes, I know that's an oxymoron.) Claiming that it doesn't have the money, the Administration, in all its wisdom, cuts back on resources allocated to the library and to the various departments' library funds . Isn't that just like Wilkes - find something really good and flush it down the toilet? So students, remember this the next time you venture into our library and can't find something you need. Odds are good that it's probably not your friendly librarian's fault , but that he or she is being squirreled over just as much as you are. �PAGE 10 MARCH 4, 1993 THE BEACON ;::~~7?0:-; ,:;.!i]~:-j 1--, ;: ■:·: ~.,\;~--h~tJ* ·~, ~~t~~~~'?~0:47~i:0}:0~_:r; Joe Natale enjoys successful career at Wilkes "Coming out of high school, I had to adjust greatly. The conditioning I went through as a freshman here was a lot tougher than in high school. My high school schedule consisted of 18 games. Here at Wilkes, we play 25 games, " said Natale. In his first college season, Natale earned the Middle Atlantic Conference Rookie of the Year award. Throughout his career at Wilkes, Natale faced many transitions and this season was no different. In his final season as a Colonel basketball player, Natale had to adjust to a new head coach. Coach Jerry Rickrode became th e Colonel's mentor for the 1992-93 season. BY BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer Four years ago, the Wilkes University men's basketball team needed a center to build a roundation on. That foundation came in the form of Joe Natale, now a senior at Wilkes. Natale is from Butler, New Jersey, where he was a three year starter at Butler High School. The fi'8" center recorded 940 poin.s in his high school career, earning him Second Team All-Conference honors as a senior. Natale also played football and baseball in his freshmen and sophomore years at Butler High School. Natale's high school achievements attracted FDUMadison, Upsula College and Trenton State to heavily recruit him. However, Natale chose Wilkes. Senioaoe Natale has enjoyed a brilliant career at Wilkes. "Coach Rickrode prepared us much better for the long season ahead of us by initiating a strict weight lifting an_d conditioning program," said Natale. The hard training Natale went through paid off for him this season. Natale earned First Team All-Middle Atlantic Conference honors this year. Natale entered his senior year with several goals in mind. "In my three years here, I never won a tournament I never beat Scranton 'or King's, and I wanted to reach the 1,000 point mark. In one game we beat Scranton to win their Christmas tournament. We also beat King's twice and I reached the 1,000 point plateau," said Natale. Natale has contributed tremendous time and effort to the Wilkes University basketball program in his four seasons. He finished hi s career with 100 games played and his goals achieved. Colonels finish season Colonel of the Week By TOM NALLY Beacon Sports Writer The Wilkes University men's basketball program is finally back on track. After numerous sub-par seasons under longtime head coach Ron Rainey, the school's administration made the difficult decision to find a replacement. Enter Jerry Rickrode. In his first season as head coach, Rickrode guided the Colonels to a 16-9 record and their first Middle Atlantic Conference playoff action since the 1984-85 season. "This year's team went from a perennial cellar dweller to a legitimate contender," said junior forward Chris Patackis. "You can't just credit the players, the team was led by an enthusiastic young coach and received tremendous fan support." Hoping for the best when he received the job on June 1, 1992. Rickrode surveyed his new talent and by September, he knew he had something special. Always looking to achieve perfection, Coach Rickrode is already looking forward to next season. "We have a real good chance of reaching that next level. Now the guys know what I expect, they're hungry and hopefully we'll get better every year," said Rick.rode. If the Colonels plan on improving for next season, they are going to have to fill the void left by lone graduating senior Joe Natale. "There is no question that Chris [Patackis] and Phil [Marko] are going to have step their game up [to another level]. Joe had a great second semester, and his intensity in games and at practice will be sorely missed. I would have liked to have had him for one more year," said Rickrode. As the Colonels sit back and watch March Madness unfold before them in the next few weeks, visions of their very own NCAA tournament bid can't seem too far away. Freshman point guard Dave Macedo can see that bid coming as quickly as next season. "I think this season was a ve·ry productive one and it should only indicate success for the future,,, · said Macedo. A season ending loss to Susquehanna University last week was a key ingredient in keeping the Colonels out of the Big Dance this year. Nobody expressed their desire to exceed in the future, better than Patackis. "Our expectations for next season are to win the MAC and reach the NCAA tournament. Anything less would be a great disappointment to ourselves and our faos." Freshman Heath "Kingpin" Fleisher broke the Wilkes single season dual meet mark with 11 pins this season. �THE BEACON Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons "When your winning everyone and everything is great. But, when your losing everyone and everything is against you," said former University of California coach Lou Campinelli. * Campinelli was fired from his position as head men's basketball coach at the University of California a few weeks ago for reasons unknown to him and the public. Campinelli took over the helm seven and one-half years ago, turning his team into an annual powerhouse in the PAC TEN Conference. The beginning of this season was no different. Coach Campinelli and his Golden Bears were off to a good start this season as they entered into league play. Everyone was a Golden Bears fan, that is until UCLA came to play. However, UCLA was unable to defeat Campinelli and his boys. One would think that their job was safe after that, but the Golden Bears dropped two straight and Campinelli was furious with his team's performance. The coach wasn't the only one on the war path. The president of the school called him into his office and told him that he felt it was time for a change. It was reported by a writer that Coach Campinelli knocked several lunches off the team's dinner table after one of the games and at one of the following practices, told a player that he had better straighten up or else he would be back home driving a truck for a living. These two incidents did happen, but not necessarily the way it was told by the reporter. The incident with the lunches did take place, as reported. However, the incident with the player at practice was reported incorrectly. The player wasn't doing well in the classroom and Campinelli was talking to him about it. The two were joking about if he ( the player) continued, he would be back home driving a . truck for a living and watching the games, on TV. Campinelli had been coaching for 32 years and this was his seventh year at California. He turned the University of California program around from the first day he got there, but after losing two games, he was fired for the first time in his coaching career. Sure coaches get upset when their teams don't perform up to their potential, but that is no reason to fire someone. Coach Campinelli is a very emotional type of person and had a great relationship with his coaching staff and players. He was fair with every player and expected his coaching staff to work as hard as he did for the program. Unfortunately, the University of California's higher-ups didn't feel that was good enough and took action. Some say they acted because of the two reported incidents. Others say that the president of the college didn't really like Campinelli. Still others say it was one of his assistant coaches that prompted his dismissal. Whatever the real reason is for this action, it is wrong. Here is a man who worked hard to turn a program around and make his team into a bonafide contender, yet he is fired by someone who probably doesn't even know how to put on a jock-strap. There has been a great injustice committed at the University of California, but hopefully, because of one man's stupidity (the president of the school), ~omeone else will gain something from it. The gain will be m the form of a good coach who is a proven teacher of the game. Someone once told me, never be satisfied with what you hav~ accomplished or where you are at. Always strive for a ~art1c~lar goal and once you accomplish it, set another just a httle higher than the last one and keep climbing the ladder to success.

The Lady Colonels had the playoffs on their minds when they traveled to Elizabethtown C oll e ge . However, their hopes were quickly diminished as ETown took a 20 point lead at halftime. The Lady Colonels dropped the game 97-65. Senior Missie Chinchar and freshman Lee An n Azarewics both chipped in with 15 points and pulled down 11 and 10 rebounds respectively. Junior Stacey B oyer added 14 points and 10 rebounds, while se nior Coleen McGarry just missed double figures with nine points. The game with Messiah College was a hard fou ght contest. However, the Lady Colonels came up short again, 72-69. Azarewics led the way with 15 , while McGarry and Boyer e ac h add ed 13 . Chinchar fini shed with 11 points and 10 boards. The good news for the Lady Colonels was their selection to the ECAC (East Coast Athletic Conference) Division III South Basketball Championship. The Lady Colonels will play Franklin & M arshall College on Friday. F & M is the number one seed, as well as the host of the four team tournament. The winner will play the winner of the Dickinson College and Penn State University-Behrend campus game on Saturday fo r the ECAC title.

"Look in, young one, and tell me what you see." After peering through the glass, the young pup replied, "I see a man, old and gray like you. He is looking at a picture that sits upon his desk and i_s telling himself how much he wishes he could be with the woman the picture presents." The Old One said, "Now you know the meaning of my tale.

Yes, that's right, 34 Wilkes University students who are doing their student teaching this semester had to stay and teach in the schools they were assigned. Student teachers only get breaks when their respective school takes a break. (Which isn't as often as colleges.) So when spring break nears, think about your friends and schoolmates-the student teachers. They will undoubtedly be thinking about you. While most of you will be funning in the sun or on the slopes or just enjoying mom's home-cooked meals, the Wilkes student teachers will be giving daily lessons to our future leaders of America, our children.

"IT WASN'T OUR FAULT" The Beacon has received numerous telephone calls from several people in the Admissions Office concerning last week's editorial, "King's College That-A-Way." It's like this, if the shoe fits wear it. However, the Admissions Office will not wear the shoe. Yet, it seems as if someone at Wilkes has made a grave mistake. The Admissions Office is very upset that their department even got mentioned in the editorial. The staff at The Beacon wondered if anyone was as disturbed as they were about the signs directing folks right pass us. Assumably we were right, and probably that grave mistake can not be corrected. If anyone has taken notice, many of the Wilkes directional signs are on Wilkes-Barre Boulevard, beginning where you come off the new Cross-Valley Expressway. Why are our signs miles away from us? Why are King ' s signs right in our front yards? These questions can only be answered by the department who was responsible for saying yes to the placement of the directional signs. Perhaps, the fault lies in the hands of our illustrious city officials. The staff at The Beacon apologizes to the Admissions staff for any undue stress that may have been caused them. Last week's editorial was not intended to imply that the Admissions Office at Wilkes placed the signs on our campus. What it did question was who put the King's College directional signs in front of our Admissions Office so folks can pass right by our campus. Normally, one would say a guilty conscience always speaks, but not in this case. Will the guilty party please rise and identify yourself?

All students enrolled in a foreign language course were invited to attend. Delicacies from the Spanish, French and German cultures were served along with tea and coffee. The idea was the brainstorm of Dr. Victoria Jaen-Andres, acting chairperson of the Foreign Language Department. According to Dr. Jaen-Andres, the tea was held because the department wants "foreign language students to feel that we have activities going on for them." Dr. Jaen-Andres says that this is the first of many such activities being planned for the semester. The department plans to host other teas about once a month. Foreign language students who missed this month's tea are urged to attend the next one. Although thereisnoextracredit involved, each student will be able to find something to his or her liking.

Chase, is very enthusiastic about LCTA cancels Ralston to Wilkes shuttle program WILKES-BARRE - The Luzerne County Transportation Authority's (LCTA) new service for the Wilkes campus was cancelled due to lack of interest. On Monday the number 12 bus from Kingston will return to its regular route, replacing the Northampton Street in Kingston route it had been running since school began in January. If students would still like to park in the over 400 parking spaces at Ralston Field, the only way back to campus is to walk. Harold Edwards Jr., executive director of the (LCTA) said the situation will be re-evaluated in the fall. The LCTA had instituted special rates and re-routed the Kingston bus to enable students and staff to park at Ralston Field. The cost of the bus was cheaper than any of the other parking alternatives on campus, but no one took advantage of it.

On Sunday afternoon it was like nothing had changed at North Carolina State. There was Coach Valvano pacing the sidelines in front of full house mostly comprised of Wolfpack fans. However, this time there was a big difference, not in the crowd, but in the reason why Coach Valvano was there. Coach Valvano wasn't there to Coach, he was there, along with his 1983 team to be honored for beating Houston, and winning the NCAA basketball championship. This is the reason why he was back in front of the Wolpack faithful. He was also there to address the crowd about his fight with cancer. The player as well as the coach were a little older and the fans were a all new , but the biggest change was in the Coach Valvano. His body has been wrecked with cancer, and he doesn't display this almost famous swagger as he steps onto the court any more. Unfortunately his steps are slow and he slighty bent at the waist. When the applause finally came to a halt, after about a minute and a half, Coach Valvano began: "I fight a different battle today. You see, I have trouble walking, and I have trouble standing for a long period of time. Cancer has taken away a lot of my physical abilities. What cancer cannot touch is my mind, my heart and my soul. It can't touch those things." Valvano then added, "I have hope that maybe things can get better for me. I have faith in God and in my fellow man that things might get better for me. That team (the 1983 championship team) taught me that persistence, the idea of never, ever quitting. Don't ever quit." Some of you out there may have a loved one with a similar disease, and you may feel like you can't go on. Here is proof, the Jim Valvano story, that you can and must go on, for that special someone, as well as for yourself. I had an uncle who passed away several years ago from cancer. I wasn't sure how to handle this, so I kept doing the things I normally did. Then my best friend's mother passed away from cancer, and that is when it really hit me hard. Here was my best friend, the person with whom I shared everything and whose home I had spent countless hours in with his family, crying in my arms because his mother had died. I kept telling him that I didn't know what to say and I didn't know what he was going through, but that I would be there for him and do whatever I could to help him get through this hard time. I'm sure many of you out there either have someone or know someone that is or has gone through this terrible ordeal. I'm not an expert on this matter by any means, but my advice to you is simply this: sit , listen, talk and be there for the person who needs you. This simple peace of advice worked for my friend and I, so hopefully it can help someone else as well.

Iftheformeri. then the incoming students were treated justly. However, if latter is true, then the faculty has made a terrible mistake. An argument that is normally advanced against uni language requirements holds that only 8% of U.S. colleg universities force students to take a foreign language, and I Wilkes wants to be competitive, it must nuke foreign lang from its "must do" list. What many people forget, though, is among the colleges that require students to take the N rth language are schools like the University of Chicago, o em University, Harvard University, the University of Vir Stanford University, Yale University and American Univ Certainly these are not names to be ignored. So, shouldn't W be more concerned with following the example of these b' nameschoolsthanwiththeexampleofLuzerne CountyC nity College and King's College? To be fair, though, arguments in favor of the universal guage requirement do not fare much better. One argument · h t t d IS cally advanced in favoroflanguage courses is t a s u en have enough exposure to other cultures unless they ha intermediate-level know ledge of a foreign language. Howe many cases, students come to Wilkes with a solid backgr French, German, Italian, Spanish or Russian. A glance throu results of the competency tests administered during orient enough to demonstrate this. Should these students, then, befi to take foreign language courses? Furthermore, if you merely around, you can see that there are a plurality of cultures campus. If the mere act ofattending Wilkes isn't exposure to cultures, I'm not sure what is. d h The fact that counter-arguments can be raise tot e c arguments presented here is not being disputed. What is consideration, however, is the following question: when vote came down in last Thursday's faculty meeting, were h ht arguments truly considered?

SNEAK PREVIEW: Be sure to look for BUTTHOLE SURFERS, JOE COCKER and more!! �FEBRUARY PAGES 18, 1993 Letters from Wyoming WCLH-FM Top35 Feb. 9 to Feb.14 BY ANDY GULDEN Co-Copy Editor As the Grammy Awards approach it is interesting to note the abundance of music awards shows on television. We have the International Rock Awards, the Billboard Awards, the Country Music Awards and a new show you may not yet be aware of, the Andy Awards. This new show, which will be broadcast on the Weather Channel at 2: 15 a.m. on April 31, will be hosted by Zsa Zsa Gabor and will feature a plethora of categories which are a bit off the beaten path. Here are the nominees ... The Used-to-Be-Good Award: This trophy will be given to the artist or band who was, at one time, on the cutting edge of rock 'n' roll but, for some reason, has abandoned its role as trend-setter and followed the pop music herd. This year, we nominate: Genesis, U2, Eric Clapton and the Black Crowes. If one were to place a wager on this award, Genesis would be a safe bet. Once at the forefront of progressive rock, Phil, Mike and Tony are now writing ballads which would make Michael Bolton cringe. The Biggest Bell-Bottoms Award: This one could be a toss-up between Tori Amos and Chris Robinson (Black Crowes), with En Vogue running a distant third. However, when doling out this trophy, we must consider the musical talent of the individual in question. Amos is blessed with enough talent to make it easy to overlook her warped sense of fashion. Robinson, however, is an elitist whiner who is on the downside of a brief career. He wins hands down. The If-I-Had-A-Gun Award: The closest competition of the night should happen here. Michael Bolton, Garth Brooks and Billy Ray Cyrus are so evenly hated among voters (namely, myself) that it's impossible to predict a winner at this time. The Lifetime Achievement in Drugs Award: There is no competition in this category, so no nominations were taken. Congratulations go out to Keith Richards. The Most Incomprehensible Video Award: Metal has provided us with some of the most intelligent music of the nineties. However, the nominees in this category have had difficulty converting their words to images. Metallica's "The Unforgiven" and Guns N' Roses' "Don't Cry" are honorable mentions, but the easy winner will be "November Rain." How the hell does that girl die? The Hypocrite of the Year Award: Sinead O'Connor will look good regardless of the winner of this trophy. In one comer we have Madonna, who proved her innocence and virtue by ridiculing 0' Connor's lack of faith in the Catholic Church. In the other comer we have the crowd at the Bob Dylan tribute concert, who did the same, despite the fact that they were gathered to honor the original protest singer. I pick the crowd. Who says the fans don't matter? The Most Depressing Song Award: Every country song written in the last year is nominated for this one. However, the winner is Eric Clapton for "Tears in Heaven." I'm sorry that your son died, but did you have to make the rest of us feel suicidal, too? The Song that Offended the Greatest Number oflgnorant People A ward: It's a two-way battle between Ice-T ("Cop Killer") and King Missile ("Detachable Penis") for this one. However, Ice-T gets the nod because his song actually means something. The Poser Award: This is a two-man race between Bono and Garth Brooks. However, since Bono did, at one time, have something resembling talent, the nod goes to Brooks, the biggest joke since the Beach Boys. The If-I-Have-to-Hear-That-Song-One-More-Time Award: This is between "End of the Road" by Boyz II Men and "I Will Always Love You (For the Rest of My Life Until I Get Hit by a Truck)" by Whitney Houston. Between the two of them, they were Number One on the charts for 4,000 straight weeks. However, the odds are with Houston, whose song accompanied an equally inane movie. The Person-or-People-You'll-Never-Hear-From-Again Award: Kris Kross, House of Pain, Spin Doctors and Billy Ray Cyrus are certainly deserving of this honor. However, the winner will be Marky Mark, who finally ran out of songs to copy. Did you even know he released a second album? Sexiest Female Artist: Mariah Carey. Any questions? The Dumbest Song A ward: The battle for this coveted statuette is between five "artists" who share an equal chance of taking home the award. Tom Cochrane' s "Life Is a Highway" is the most cliche-ridden song in years. The Heights' "How Do You Talk to an Angel" stayed on the charts longer than the show stayed on the air. Def Leppard's "Make Love Like a Man" confirmed everyone's suspicions that Joe Elliott is, indeed, a male. "I Love You Period" proves that Dan Baird should never have left Georgia Satellites. "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot talked about butts. What a high concept that is. The winner, however, will be Billy Ray Cyrus' "Achy B reaky Heart." Just for bringing country back to the charts, Cyrus deserves this very special award. We wish him the best ofluck in his career as a Chippendale's dancer. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24.

After defeating the Jersey Devils, 70-50, in their first meeting this season, the Colonels were a heavy favorite as they travelled to the shoe-box style gymnasium in Madison, N.J. The one-time run-andgun Devils used a deliberate of- fense that set the tempo for a low-scoring affair. Wilkes led at the intermission 26-22, but a scoring blunder and missed free tl'lrows late in the game proved to be too much for the Colonels. With 1:30 left to play in tfie game, FDU committed what appeared to be their seventhteamfoul. Afterseventeam fouls, the opposing team is awarded free throws on a oneand-one basis. According to the FDUMadison scorebook, the Jersey Devils had only committed six team fouls. Apparently, they forgot to count an earlier technical foul as a team foul, which is a new rule change this year. Without a Wilkes scorekeeper on the trip there was no proof to say otherwise. So, no free throws were attempted, and the Colonels retained possession. With 20 seconds remaining and Wilkes leading by a point (53-52), John Harlan recorded his only steal of the game and got the ball to teammate and leading free throw shooter (87%) Jay Turman, who was fouled with 12 seconds left. The Colonels now had their one-and-one opportunity. Turman missed the front end, and the Jersey Devils raced the ball upcourt. FDU's Kevin Conway took the ball strongly to the basket, where he was fouled in the act of shooting. Conway made both free throws to give FDUMadison a 54-53 upset victory. The loss dropped the Colonels to 7-2 in the MAC and 15-7 overall, while securing a MAC regular season title for Scranton University, who will make their first appearance at the Henry Gymnasium this season on Wednesday. The Colonels are the cause of the only blemish on Division III' s number one ranked team. Scranton comes into the game with a 21-1 record, having lost only to Wilkes in the Laurel Line Tournament. Scranton avenged the early season loss as they beat Wilkes handily to set the tone for tough MAC play. Wednesday will be the "rubber match" between these two explosive rivals. A Wilkes victory not only gives them area bragging rights but may catch the eye of the NCAA selection committee as well. First year head coach Jerry Rickrocle remains optimistic about his team's chances against Scranton. "We're 1-1 against the best Division III team I've seen in a long time, and we have yet to play them at home," said Rickrocle. "We may be the only MAC team able to beat Scranton." The Colonels match up well with the Royals and probably have the strength advantage on the blocks with Joe Natale and Chris Patackis. Rickrode sees the low post as a key to the ball game. "We're not getting the ball inside enough. We're getting the same effort from the big guys. They' re just not getting the ,opportunities," said Rickrode. Whatever the outcome in the Wilkes-Scranton showdown, the Colonels are assured a MAC playoff birth. Dates, times and match-ups have yet to be determined, but it appears as if Wilkes will travel to Susquehanna University, while Scranton will host Elizabethtown College.

By BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer This year, students, faculty, parents, and especially children are flocking to Wilkes' sporting events. What is so different from past years? In addition to strong, winning teams, the Wilkes Colonels have a slight advantage over opponents: Colonel Bob. Colonel Bob is the Wilkes University mascot. Bob Wachowski received a bachelor's degree in computer science in 1989 and now is pursuing a bachelor's degree in secondary education in mathematics. A native of Fort Washington, Maryland, Colonel Bob attended Friendly High School in Friendly, Maryland, where he was Friendly High School's mascot, the Patriot. "Amaniusetocall 'Dave the umpire' and Matt Rosemary helped me get started as a mascot. A good friend, John Comesar, picked me up when the going was tough," said Colonel Bob. Colonel Bob leads the crowd in cheers, participates on the cheerleading squad, rides a go-cart at football games, organizes pep rallies, slam dunks a basketball while riding an eight-foot unicycle and rides a skateboard. Bob works very hard at getting the crowd into the game and entertaining the fans. At this year's Homecoming football game, he rode high on horseback at halftime. "The small unicycle was a family Christmas gift when I was ten years old. Six years ago, I bought the eight-foot unicycle," stated Bob. Lady Colonels optimis about season p layoff s Colonel Bob at his best. His job is not all glory, however. He works hard at cheerleading practice, promotes sporting events around campus by distributing flyers and even climbs a tree to display a brightly colored advertisement for the next Wilkes game. "Two weeks before the Homecoming game, I was thrown from the horse while practicing for the game and sprained ligaments in my knee," Colonel Bob noted. Colonel Bob amuses fans with a plethora oflively cheers. "I got my cheers from junior high school kids. A 12-year-old girl gave me my 'time out' cheer at a football game. Kristin McNally gave me the 'Lean, Lean, Lean' cheer," Bob commented. Bob volunteers his time and effort to Wilkes University. "I have a lot of respect for the athletes and coaches. They are very dedicated, and the fans are really appreciative," stated Colonel Bob. Colonel Bob is geared up to lead the men's basketball team through playoffs. "Hopefully, we can get some vans and buses for the playoffs. If anyone is inte:rested in the trip, please contact me," added Bob. Colonel Bob would like to thamk everyone for all their suppont. "The women's basketball panents have supplied food for me at the away games. Everyone at all the games has been great," said Colonel Bob. Colonel Bob is, without a do1ubt, Wilkes University's bigge§t fan. to just 5 of 23 shots. Again, it was "th leading thel waly wi for the Co one s.

Just how is an RA selected, and what are some of their duties? Marc Garnet, Director or Residence Life. says that RA 's are selected by first having an RA interest meeting in mid.January. This is so the Residence Life Office can get a feel as to how many people are interested in the job. Next, applications are handed out. The candidates then caret'ully read over the application, which lists the rules that the RA's must follow. The candidates must fill out the application and return it to the Residence Life Office no later than 4:30 p.m . on Fehruary 16. Next, recommendation forms are sent out by the Residence Life Office. The possible RA 'scan use faculty, administration, or current RA 's as references. Then, the current RA' s are separated into two groups. There is a male group, which consists of t wo males and one female, and a female group, consisting of two females and one male. The male group then interviews the male prospects, and the female group does the same with the female prospects. These interviews conclude by March l 1. After these interviews arc conducted there arc interviews with the professional Residence Life staff, which consists of Marc Garnet, Patty Pretti, Cathy Tigue and Leigh versity), helpi11g to establish a healthy residence hall enviro nment, assisting individual student Garnet said that the qualities they look for in potential RA' s needs and pa1ticipating in hall govare leadership and an outgoing ernment programs.

The dinosaur, who left dry tokens Of their sojourn here On our planet floor, Any broad alarm of their of their hastening doom Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages. But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully, Come, you may stand upon my Back and face your distant destiny, But seek no haven in my shadow. I will give you no hiding place down here. You , created only a little lower than The angels, have crouched too long in The bruising darkness, Have lain too long Face down in ignorance. Your mouths spelling words Armed for slaughter. The rock cries out today, you may stand on me, But do not hide yourface. Across the wall of the world, A 1iver sings a beautiful song, Come rest here by my side. Each of you a bordered country, Delicate and strangely made proud, Yet thrusting perpetually under siege. Your armed struggles for profit Have left collars of waste upon My shore, cuITents of debris upon my breast. Yet, today I call you to my riverside, If you will study war no more. Come, clad in peace and I will sing the songs The Creator gave to me when I And the tree and stone were one. Before cynicism was a bloody sear across your brow And when you yet knew you still knew nothing. The river sings and sings on . There is a true yearning to respond to The singing river and the wise rock. So say the Asian, the Hispanic, the Jew, The African and Native American, the Sioux, The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek, The Irish, the Rabbi, the P1iest, the Sheikh, The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher, The privileged, the homeless, the teacher. They hear. They all hear The speaking of the tree. Today, the first and last of every tree Speaks to humankind. Come to me, here beside the river. Plant yourself beside me, here beside the river. Each of you, descendant of some passed on . 11, 1993 Traveller, has been paid for. You, who gave me my first name, You Pawnee, Apache and Seneca, You Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, Then fo(ced on bloody feet, Left me to the employment of other seekersDesperate for gain, starving for gold. You, the Turk, the Swede, the -German, the Scot. .. You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, Bought, sold, stolen, mTiving on a nightmare Praying for a dream. Here, root yourselves beside me. I am the tree planted by the river, Which will not be moved. I, the rock, I the river, I the tree I am yours-your passages have been paid. Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need For this bright morning dawning for you. History, despite its wrenching pain, Cannot be unlived, and if faced with couraoe b ' Need not be lived again. Lift up your eyes upon The day breaking for you. Give birth again To the dream. Women, children, men, Take it into the palms of your hands . Mold it into the shape of your most Private need. Sculpt it into The image of your most public self. Lift up your hearts. Each new hour holds new chances For new beginnings. Do not be wedded forever To fear, yoked e te rnally To brutishness. The horizon lean s fo rward, Offering you space to place new steps of change. Here, on the pulse of this fine day You may have th e courage To look up and out up on me, The rock, the river, the tree, your country. No less to Midas than the mendicant. No less to you now than til e mastodon then. Here on the pul se of thi s new day You may have tbe grace to look up and out And into your sister's eyes, Into your brother's fa ce, yo ur country And say simpl y Very simpl y With hope Good mornin g. �FEBRUARY THE B EACON 11, 1993 PAGE S Who Said We Don't Have Spirit? ,.. Give us a "W"; give us an "I"; give us an "L"; give us a "K"; give us an "E"; give us an "S." Whatdo you get? WILKES !! Colonel Bob came out in a puff of smoke -- that's what people are saying about last week's pep rally. For the first time in the history of this fine institution, a pep rally was held to boost the spirit of our campus, according to Coach Reese. It seems as if this type of activity on this campus is long overdue. That evening our "Grappling" wrestlers, the women's and men's basketball teams, as well as some of our own campus clubs and organizations all had their night to show off their stuff without throwing a ball, wrestling a body, or promoting their club views. This school has been in existence since 1936 and has never had a pep rally. Wouldn't you think that maybe this is one of the reasons why students are so unsupportive of events that go on year-to-year, semester-to-semester? Certainly, the next good time a pep rally might be held is right before the big Wilkes vs. Scranton basketball game on Wednesday, February 17. Wouldn't it be nice if Royal fans couldn't get into the Marts Cenetr because it was packed with Colonel fans? Thanks to Colonel Bob, Wilkes Colonels' fan s are coming out in full force these days and they are showing what Wilkes students are really made of. Again, this past Saturday we showed our spirit. Many students foun d Navy and Gold good enough to paint themselves with when they showed up at the Wilkes vs. King's College game -- impressive. Some of the Wilkes guys in the crowd looked and sounded as if they belonged to some big college. Not. Wilkes folks? For the first time in awhile, YES . While on the subject of sports, school spirit and how this could be a winning combination, has anyone noticed that most of our administrators, staff and faculty never show up for the women's basketball games? The Lady Colonels ranked second in the conference for almost their entire season, but lost the drive along the way somehow. Could this be attributed to the fact that when the Lady Colonels come out :f the locker room after their game, the bleachers, empty for their game, are now packed with fans for the men's matchup? Maybe or maybe not; one will never know until next year because this season is just about over. Matt Hrabousky is a senior ell Coughlin High Sc//ool. His car/oons appear weekly in T//e Beacon.

In reference to Dr. l3cck's sugges tion or allocating money all at once, th is suggestion is not pl ausi ble for many reasons. First, it wo uld not be prudent financially to exhaust all of St udcnt Government· s resources at the beginning of an academic ycm· because many projects arise duri ng the course of the ye,u- which require funding. Second, if Student Government allocated funds for "planned" events and these events did not take place, a grea t amount or money would he wasted. i\. lsll, if it ·s a "planned" event, there shou ld he "planned" fund raisers. Third, StuJent Government 'is exact ly that, a Goven1ment or Studen ts, many or whom mus t work d uring the summer and school yc,u- and have a complex academic schedule; these students· first priorit y is academics, and it wou ld be unfai r to have them neg lect thei r responsibilit ies in orJcr to he,u· req ues ts from 61 cl ubs and organizations at the beginni ng of the semester.

SG Recording Secre tary I am writing to you in respo nse to a le tter written by Dr. Beck, ad vi sor of the Communications Cl ub, concerning their fund req uest at the Student Government meeting held on November 11, 1992. Dr. Beck came to the Student Govern ment meeting with the impression that Student Government has lots of money to give out. When asked about doing a fund raiser to help support their projects, she said she fee ls the students involved in the Communications Club are also involved in other clubs which Jo fund ·aisers; therefore, she should come to Student Government first. The fund re1uest was for traveling expenses and an 10norarium for two guest speakers (one for each semester) and for copying and mailing costs for a newsletter which they would like to continue to prod uce . The Student Government body was very interested in the Communications Club bu1t made their decision based on three things. First, Student Government wmnted to see how many students would be benefitti ng from the guest speaker in the fall semester and to see what ki nd of puiblicity was made by the Communicatio.ns Club to make the event successful. Second, it is not Student Govern ment's policy to fund newsleiters, and the cost of ti.his should be defrayed by the J ep,u-t memt. Third, Student Govern ment does not function as a bank, and the funds that can be allocated are very limited; there- w~~~~~~~~~~~~ fore, Student Government expects clu bs and organi zations to make every atte nnpt to raise money themselves and the:n come for financial assistance to Promote our Florid a Spring Break packages.

It becomes thick and congested, as well as often reaching a toxic potency rich enough to burn the eyes . This is due to an accumulation of cigarelle smoke, which is most dense toward the upper floors . This is especially conducive for the maintenance of a person's health who happens to be late for class and taking those deep aerobic breaths with each stride up the steps . or course, late or not, running is probably preferable to a long, leisurely stroll through such a potpourri of spring-fresh fragrance . However, if one strains one's eyes, one will be able to witness ash trays in the mist. Because these smoking facilities are stationed at each doorway in the stairwells, I assume such a stairwell environment is acceptable to the University, if not preferred by it. Therefore, it is with this that I have no quarrel. However, have you walked through the SLC lobby lately (or should I say crawled, in accordance with fire fighter's safety standards)'! It has the traits of a mine fire . It looks and smells something like a smoldering vile pit of biodegrading eggs, cadavers and road kills. Through the smoke that rises from it, you can spot the endless flickers of burning cigarettes. The scene resembles a mass of road llares laid out after a bad accident on a very foggy morning. Perhaps most violating is the taste left on your tongue of the insides of a dozen people's lungs after every breath you take. Nothing quite like sampling the disease-susceptible, charred mucus linings of other individuals. On a more concrete note, please look up at the ceiling tiles the next time you are in the lobby. Did you know there was a day that they once resembled something close to white? Now they are yellow and brown. Around the ceiling vents they are black! Also, notice the signs that read "NO SMOKING IN CARPETED AREA." Now look about the carpeted area and lament the cigarette bu_rns and ashes on the many table tops as well as 111 the carpets, couches and chairs . (Sitting in ashes is almost, but not quite, as good as sn~ellin¥ and tasting them! Mmmm!) Despite the signs, ignorant people are still compelled to smoke in the carpeted area and shake their ashes and throw their cigarette butts wherever they please, the consequences of which are the increase of everyone's tuition. Perhaps these people are suffering from confusion and having trouble determining between carpet and tile. In any case, it shows no consideration for those who do not smoke. The carpeted area, by its nature, is harder to maintain than the tiled area. Sadly, this is probably the only reason why it is designated for nonsmokers. Neve1theless, this intended sanctuary for non-smokers should be respected. While a pack or more of cigarettes may get one person through his or her day, it may hinder the person next to them from doing the same. Why should everyone's hair and clothes smell like they spent the whole day at a back ally night club'! Furthermore, this disgraces the University . Since the SLC is the largest and busiest building on campus, it is safe to assume it gets plenty of visitors, including prospective students. What type of message does this blatant disregard for fellow human beings and authority send out? Finally, why is this rnle so difficult to enforce as well as f< )llow? The security desk overlooks the carpet,xJ area. If you smoke and hang around the Stark lobby and you don't mind your innards, teeth and breath resernbling the ceiling tile above you, that is yomr business. It is your right to s1:1oke as much as you want in designated parts ol the S_tark l_obby•. This right is granted to you by the U111vers1ty. The best part is that no one is trying t~) take thatt right away from you! Believe me, I: know what a long school and work day is by now (I think I'm on the Wilkes' s~ven year _plan)). If someone took away my nght to the Iull e111joyment of many fine beers at the end of my <day, I think I might die. If, hypothetically, th1ere was a hardwood floor beer area in the lobby,, I'd be there. Unfo11unatel~y for me, I don't have such an area. If you smolke, you do! Half the lobby is yours - the tiled half. Please feel free to take advantage of yomr vise to the utmost. I would. .Just be sure to reispect your fellows. In last week's column I alluded to the "recent core debacle." This week, I am going to tackle the root cause of all our problems with the core- namely, the lack of a common mission at Wilkes University. Ask any member of the Wilkes community what the guiding mission of the institution is, and you 'II get hundreds of different responses . As a result working toward improvement at Wilkes is like shooting an arrow at a target while. blindfolded you know what you have to do , hut you don't know in which direction to proceed. However, Wilkes is not solely to blame for this situation. No, Wilkes is only part of a massive disintegration of the system of higher education in the United Stales . During the cold war federal dollars poured into colleges and universities so that they could produce students better equipped to deal with the Soviet menace. Today, though , the Soviets are our allies, for all intents and purposes. So, colleges and universities now lack both the flow or money and the guiding purpose . However, there still is hope. TheNovember2, 1992 issue of Newsweek suggested that we reinstate the old combination of education and entertainment into our nation's curricula . This is not to say that professors should wear tap shoes to classes. Rather, colleges and universities need to build up depa11ments and core curricula that genuinely interest students. We must not force students to take classes that have little or no consequence - like the Core Studies class at Wilkes. Yet, in many cases, that is exactly what we are doing. So, it should come as no surprise that the June .5, 1991 The Chmnicle <~/Higher Education argues that many U.S. colleges and universities are really inefficient high-priced secondary schools. The April 4, 1941 issue of Nature stated, "Competitiveness relies on the quality of education." Yet, a casual glance will tell you that the quality of education in the United States has finally hit sewer level. What Wilkes, as an institution, needs to do is to begin realizing that neither professors nor the textbooks they use are infallible. Education must remain an ever-changing, everexperimenting process for it to be viable. Yet, by relying upon old, outdated ideas, it is almost a given that we will get nowhere - and fast. Therefore, what I suggest this campus needs to do is forget ahout recruitment. Instead, let's worry about formulating a common mission statement that (a) rel~cls the interests of the students; (b) meets the needs ol'Wilkes as an institution and (c) promotes the quality of education. For once that has been accomplished, the rest will come naturally. Then, and only then, will Wilkes truly work . N.A.F.T.A. Do you know what it is? Some support it: some don't. \Vhy? How might it affect you? Others? The world? If you'd like to know more on how it impacts everything from wages to the future of environmental protection, mark your calendar now!

Heavy is the heart that is without a washed-up celebrity. Nevertheless, the show must go on, so I will continue to regale you with insights rrorn the mind or a man plagued with senio1itis. I was perusing Th e Ne w York Times last Friday, and ah item caught my attention which, in additi on to being interesting in and of itself, provides the perfect springboard for this week's discussion. Appare nt I y, the New York Zoological Society, which runs the Bronx Zoo, the Central Park Zoo, the Queens Zoo and the Prospect Park Zoo, has decided to drop the word "zoo" from the names or these establishments. In its place will be the rather unwieldy moniker "Wild life Conservation Park ." The reason for th~ change , according to William Conway (the society's president), is that the word "zoo" has taken on a lcss-than-nohle meaning in our nation. For instance, a noisy classroom or donnitory might he called a zoo, as mig ht the New York Yankee dugout. Conway apparently feel that these examples are not C(; nparable to a place full or wild animals. If you have actually read this far into this piece, you may be wondering, "What relevance does this have to my own little world?" Well, my friend, your own Jillie world is filled with people who are trying to control your language. They feel that, by doing this, they will be able to control your thoughts.To that end , va,ious groups have suggested (and, in some cases, succeeded in implementing) changes in our vocabulary. For instance, black has been replaced by "AfricanAmerican," American Indian by "Native Ame1ican" or "indigenous peoples/ women by "womyn," oriental hy "Asian-American" and handicapped by "physically challenged" or "handicapable." First of all, these terms arc , at best, inaccurate, or, at worst, completely non -sensical. Just like the term "Wildlife Conservation Park," which conjures up images or trees and veld ts, not candied apples and crying two-year-olds, many of these tenns are not being used correctly. The term "Asian-American., cxc I udcs Russians, Indians and other peoples who are Asian but not 01iental. " Native American ," " indige nous" and "African-American" describe places of birth, not heritage or skin color. l'm a white, American-horn male of German ancestry, but I don't refer to myself as a Native indigenou s German-American . I'm simple an American. Furthermore, words like "womyn" and " handicapahlc" arc not even part of the English language. I'm not sure what they mean . The way I !"igurc things, if it's not in my computer's dictionary, it's not a word. The more serious problem rcsuhing from this debate is not a function of grammar but of accomplishing the goals or the movement in question. Feminists would like us to change our entire language by removing all gender-related terms. They argue that our choice of words dictates our thought patterns. However, these groups arc wasting far too much time changing "chai1man" to "chairperson" and arc not worrying about the issues at hand. Women like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton didn ' t worry about vocabulary. They focused on securing the right of suffrage for wome n, and they succeeded. Martin Luthe r Kin g Jr. rcrrcsc nts the same idea from the black perspective. He didn't woITy that blacks were sti II call ed " ncgrocs." He addressed the true issues : voting rights, school segregation and equal opportunity e mployment. Because uf this ability to focus on that which is important, he w:1s ahlc to accomplish more than any other individual in the Civil Rights Move ment. kssc Jackso n will find that, until he stops worrying about whethe r he's black, "African-Amc1ican" ur "a person or color," he will accomplish very little in the realm of substantive reform s. I'm certainly no t sugge sti ng that we return the word " nigger" to our everyday vocabularies. This is a Lenn so his toric dl y steeped in racist identification that it would be impossible to add it to our language w ith o ut rl'1l10ving 20 years of progress from the Civil Rights Movement. What I AM saying is that we need to sto r focusing our attention on words. A racist is a racist. That is why he chooses lo use the word "nigger" or "gook" or "chink." No matter how many changes we make in our vocahulary, he will continue to think the way he does. Words don't fo1m thoughts. They are only a rclkction or what has happened in our minds. What we need to do is educate these people. We need to show them that all people, regardless of color, origin or sex ha ve the same capabilities, the same emotions and the same faults. We cannot accomplish thi s goal through words. We can only do it with action. Contest: On a lighter 1wtc, some of you may be aware of my distaste for Mr:•Michael Bolton.

Arthur Ashe An ''American Hero" gone from the t enn1s • Cir • C U 1• t By BOB SIMMONS Beacon Sports Editor "A true Ameiican hero and a great example to all of us," was the way President Bill Clinton desctibed Arthur Ashe Sunday after the news of his death. Ashe had been hospitalized with pneumonia for a few weeks in January and was ill off and on for months. Ashe contracted the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion in 1983 and died from AIDSrelated pneumonia Saturday at New York Hospital. Ashe was horn in Richmond, Virginia on July 10, 1943. The playgrounds of Richmond were the places where Ashe learned the game oftennisandlearneditwell. Ashe left Richmond to pursue a tennis career which saw him win the Wimbledon championship and the U.S . Open. He is the only black man ever to win both of these championships. Ashe revealed to the world that he had the HIV virus on April 8 after he was forced into the announcement by a newspaper threatening to make the claim. Ashe joined the fight against AIDS and made many aware of what the disease was and how someone could contract the virus which eventually leads to AIDS . .

However, the baseball world made the headli nes this past week with the one-year suspension of Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott. Baseball's ruling executive council completed a twomonth investigation of the 64-year-old owner and said it found evidence that '"rlverwhelmingly and convincingly supports the conclusion that Mrs. Schott fre4ue ntl y and repeatedly used terms" offensive to blacks, Jews and Japanese. Mrs. Schott was fined $25,000 and suspended for one year from the Reds. She may attend games, hut she mus t sit in the executive su ite, not down by the playi ng fiel d from where she is accustomed to watching her team in ac ti on. The suspension will begin March 1, and Mrs. Sc hott may apply for reinstatement on November 1 if she attends and completes multi-cultural training programs. Now there's a punishment for you- pay a $25,000 fi ne, sit in air-conditioning, cushioned seats whi le watch ing a baseball game at the stadium and the killer: attend classes. The $25,000 fine to most of us is a lot of money, hut, to a person who owns their own team, it's pocket change. The cruelty of having to sit through a baseball game in an executive suite while the temperature on the playing field may be as hot as 80 or 90 degrees is too much to take. Finally, having to attend classes to most or us is pretty tough.and, for Mrs. Schott, it may he the same. The $25,000 fine to Mrs Schott is nothing. The biggest problem there is how she'll pay it, in $ lO0's or $50's. Let's not even talk about the executive suite, because it upsets me so much. The biggest problem with having to attend classes for Mrs Schott will he where her limo will he able to park. I hope that none of the members or the ruling council have young children, because the punishments that they hand out are far to severe for any child to handle. All-time home run leader Henry Aaron, a senior vice president with the Atlanta Braves, said, "I know Marge is laughing all the way to wherever it is she is going." Mr. Aaron is absolutely 1ight. What were the council members thinki ng when they came up with this punishment ? The council must have been meeting at a local "watering establishment" when they came up with this. Then Mrs. Schott's lawyer, Robert Bennett, said the owner agreed to accept the penalty. Now there's a surprise!!!! Mr. Bennett also said Sc hott was "very upset and very depressed that she was singled out. She feels many othe rs in baseball made similar comments." Maybe this sort of thing will stop not only in the Reds organization but in the world . People are the same no matter wha t color their ski n is or how tall they ar~ or how ~-at or skinny they are - people are people and that 1s somethmg we all must learn, because we are all here together.so let's get along with one ano ther.

Interested students should contact security if they want to sign up for the month! y or yearly plans. According to Jadi Willison, President of the Com-:: muter Council, the satellite parking is, "a very good idea, it will save students a lot of money, and it is another option for those who are not eligible for parking permits." The ride is advantageous to many students not eligible for parking permits. The shuttle service is much cheaper than parking closer to campus. Currently meter parking costs $.25 for 37 1/2 minutes, the Park and Lock charges $2 a day. If a car is parked illegally and towed by campus security, it costs $25 .50. Buses began running the new route the first day of classes and will continue everyday, beginning at 7:40 a.m. and running every 20 minutes until 6:35 p.m. The bus drops off on South St. near the crosswalk and in front of Weckesser Hall. On the return route, the bus will pick up at the crosswalk and in front of Conyngham Hall.

For example, the idea of assuming more responsibility for vcs seems like a noble prospect in everyone should be willing to take course this is a long standing Repuhml). policy proposal by Clinton supporthope is the two-year maximum that can receive welfare benefits, during maecipients obtain education. Howpitesuch sparks of hope, the Clinton ation tends to make one uncom. This is evident when considering 'sdeception of the American people, as his and his cabinet's ability to prominent among Clinton's blunbis reversals of campaign·promises. onal television he debated with Bush mnedhim for his "Read my lips ... " I. He went on to tell Bush that one not make promises just to get elected. explained to him that, in the presionc can often be confronted with ing circumstances which may unand force a revtrsal of such promell, what has President Clinton done Id'! most disturbing reversal was his to raise taxes on only those who are ·ve enough to earn over $200,000 Now his proposed capital gains tax kthe middle class, as well as under'r incentive to invest. For example, nc buys a home for $40,000 and it to a worth of $80,000 upon that 'sdeath, the government would take (all that was gained). Also, Clinton's of a gasoline tax is a sure blow to le class. The hypocrisy in light of paign is evident in examples such as · from broken promises, one should njust how equipped the Clinton adtion is to govern. For example, avoided serving in Viet Nam. He this by saying he did not right bebe was enlightened enough to oppose iet Nam war. Is he saying that all of ho did fight in Viet Nam supported ,and that is what separated him from In any case, one of Clinton's roles is mmander in Chief. How competent re at this job? In Dese11 Storm Bush send any young soldier to do somebe himself did not do in World War II. r, Clinton can now send our nation's off to some strange land to die, somehimself was too good to do. Now he ge of the situations in Somalia and 'de from Clinton himself, his cabinet re questioned as to how equipped they are to govern. Clinton initially appointed Zoe Baird as attorney general, the highest law enforcement position in the land. She was to prevent people from breaking the law just as she did (remember that she could not afford legal employees since she only makes $507,000 yearly as corporate lawyer). In other words, Clinton's cabinet was to, in a way, reflect himself as well as America. Just as Clinton was above the draft, Baird was to be above the law. The appointment of Donna Shalala as head of Health and Human Services may especially illustrate Clinton's reckless manner in governing. He said that he did not even interview anyone else for the job and that he knew she was the best pick. How does he know that? Just how much fmther do her credentials reach out of the bounds of pushing for excessive affirmative action and political correctness in speech? Note that "Founding Fathers" is no longer co1Tect. Those men who signed the Declaration are now "Founding Persons" or something of the sort. This cannot be sufficient backgroumd to be in charge of a $590 billion annual budget which is 40 percent of the total federal bud~et. If anything, Shalala's appointment makes a mockery of any theory involving the good merits of affirmative action. This disgraces the very essence of what she: preaches at the University of Wisconsin. This should be an insult to all hardworking mino;rities of this country, especially those with cre,dentials and v.:ork ethic equal to, if not better than, Shalala's and were not even considered for an interview! Is Clinton implying that of all the nation"s minorities, he can only find one who possessed 1the faculties for the job? This may have been a simple case of an administration hastily filling a promised quota just to be done with it. Warren Christopher, a designate for Secretary of State, is also w01th quick mention. As Carter's Deputy Secretary of State, he was a constant source of gridlock as he argued soft-line approaches, especiially regarding Iran-hostage policy. This is the same man who supposedly insisted that Iranian terrorists should only be shot in the arm or leg iru a hostage rescue attempt. Is Christopher the best choice for Secretary of State as the man who performed many of these duties in the Carter admilllistration (since Ed Muskie was somewhat lost)'? TheCaiter administration is supposedly just what the Clinton administration does not want to be:. Clinton's competency, honesty, governing ability and cabinet appointments (nine of which are millionaires, two more than was in Reagan's cabinet and three more than was in Bush's) all have reason to be considered. It is important to understand that Democratic philosophy, as opposed to Republican philosophy, favors more government control. With more government control, those in government have more power. With an administration that wants more control over our lives, it is. reasonable to critique their credentials to have such power. one, like its predecessor, has brought some changes ·with it. The most notew01thy change is the rearranging of the guard at the highest level of the campus hierarchy. No, President Breiseth has not moved on. Rather, he is on sabbatical. So, our Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Michael Lennon has taken the reigns of government in his absence. Like most professors, Dr. Lennon is an enigmatic person. When one first encounters him, he casts a formidable, but not intimidating, presence. Although it is difficult, at times, to get an accurate read on the man, fmther investigation generally turns up positive evidence. For example, on one occasion-a meeting of the curriculum committee on October 22, 1992-I heard him say , "Let's try to make the core more helpful to students." Throughout the past semester, I have repeatedly heard him make similar statements. So, it is beyond douht that he is firmly in the students' corner, lookin_g out for our welfare with the utmost concern . However, Dr. Lennon is not the panacea that some people are wont to believe he is. For, in some cases, his seeming naivete has been an unnecessary hindrance that has brought more problems onto his shoulders. He has formed a few alliances with ce,tain nebulous faculty members. He does not yet know about the entrenched interests on this campus and of their power stmctures; so, while he sta1ts actions with well-meant intentions, he'll never get anywhere with them until he breaks the back of these interests. The finest case in point is the recent core debacle. Ce1tainly, if he knew of the structured interests and their motives, no major mckus would have occurred. However, Dr. Lennon's positive characteristics do outweigh the negatives that have arisen out of his lack of having spent a great deal of time at Wilkes. He is ce,tainly, in my opinion, deserving of respect and admiration. Neve1theless, he would be wise to take some well-meant advice. First, continue acting on your own initiative-do not depend on a nod from the nebulous allies you have collected around you. Second, try different directions. The old ones that we have followed for the last four years have not worked. It is time for new styles of thinking. Finally, do not forget, respect must be constantly earned. For the moment, you have it. However, _ should you give up the fight for the students, you will just as easily lose it. Be warned! The wolf is watching. ~··············~················ -.................................. • The Psychology Honor Society, Psi Chi, is seeking ne~ • members.

A new president and first family, as well as a brand new entourage or policy makers and shakers, have taken up residence in our nation's capital and will be with us, for us or may he even against us for the next four years . Ir you missed the inauguration you may want to find someone who taped it so that you can see and hear the tones and attitudes that will undoubtedly set the pace for our country. It seems that there will he a renewed sense or family, community, religion and selfwo1th . Family has been said to he one or the most important entities in America both yesterday and today. President Clinton remarked that he would like to make family issues a top priority during his term. Clinton's speech also shed new light on the decreasing sense of community, a lost value in America. Also a focal point was individual self-wo1th and the fact that all people count. To cap off the ceremony African-American poet Maya Angelou read a poem relkcting upon and rejoicing over the change of the powers that shall not be moved. AT WILKES Many of you may not know that President Breiseth and his family have taken a sahhatical leave. They will return to Wilkes in May. While President Breiscth is away Dr. J. Michael Lennon is at the helm. Let's all give him the same support that we would give our president. LOCALLY There's a feeling in the air in town. It feels like a renewal of communities working together for the common good or all within them. Wilkes-Barre and its surrounding towns arc working hard to come together and stay together. At the Dr. Martin Luther King .Ir. program, which took place in our own Dartc Center, those who had the opportunity to he there all felt as one hy the time they left.

By Andy Gulden �PAGE6 FEBRUARY 4, 1993 Letters from Wyoming BY ANDY GULDEN Co-Copy Editor Those of you who have been following the epic saga of my travels will be thrilled to learn that I have finally reached Wyoming. However, the news is not all good. Zsa Zsa and I have realized that we are not meant to be together and have ended our short hut steamy affair. Thus, I begin this week' s letter with a heavy heart... Item the First: I'm sure all of you know who Randall TeITy is. For those of you who don't, he's the leader of Operation Rescue, one of those militant pro-life groups. Apparently, though, Mr. TeITy has decided that a woman's uterus is not the only place over which he must have control. He has now decided that his next battle (since he's losing the one against abortion) will be against homosexuals in the military. Apparently, Mr. Terry objects to this proposal because, and I am NOT making this up, no one "would want to stick their hands in the blood, w~en it might have AIDS." Have you finished laughing yet? If so, take a moment to dry your eyes, then seriously consider Mr. Ten-y' s statement. Is it any wonder that a man so ignorant of the nature of the AIDS crisis, which is growing much faster in the heterosexual population than among homosexuals, has called homosexuality a "sick and perverse lifestyle?" Apparently, though, it's perfectly normal and acceptable to bomb abortion clinics. Item the Second: As if there aren't enough problems in everyday life, the Roman Catholic Church recently released an amended list of sins to address the situations encountered in today's world. Among these sins is disciimination against one because of his or her sex or sexual preference. Before I comment on this, I would like to state, for the record, that I have no qualm with those who choose to follow the Catholic religion. In fact, I have many close friends who are Catholic. However, the Vatican has committed a major piece of hypoc1isy with this edict. Think about it when' s the last time you saw a female or homosexual p1iest? In fact, the Church just recently turned down a plea hy women for the addition of female priests. This isn't discrimination?! Perhaps the Pope isn't "the real enemy," hut this ~ind of blatant hypociisy is. Item the Third: I am quick to admit that, despite my liberal views, I am not a Bill Clinton fan. During his campaign, he made several statemenL'> which he later amended or retracted altogether. Because of this, he has gotten the reputation, perhaps deserved, of a "waffler." Lately, the attacks have begun again in light of Chelsea Clinton's schooling. Before you jump on this bandwagon, however, you may want to lookattheissuejusta hit more closely. Chelsea Clinton is now (I believe) in the eighth grade. She will be graduating in a little over four years. I find it very difficult to believe that any educational reforms, no matter how drastic, will he able to raise our schools to a level of resnectabilitv in that short amount of time, esoeciallv those in the District of Columbia. With that in mind, the Cl in tons chose to send Chelsea to a private school. Surely she should not be made to suffer for the failings of a Republican administration (under which Ame1ican schools were large! y neglected) which took power about the same time that Chelsea was horn. Nevertheless, Clinton has been bombarded with c1iticism for his concern for his daughter's welfare because he is not in favor of the voucher system championed hy former (I love saying that) President Bush. The voucher system pays parents to send their children to the school of their choice, thereby neglecting inner city kids who remain trapped in the piisons which pass for places of learning. These schools will receive even less funding than they cmrnntl y do if the voucher system is passed. It's time to veer from the Republican trend of throwing money at a problem instead of developing a well thought-out, long-term solution which will benefit this nation for generations to come. It will take years, hut American schools can he rebuilt. In the meantime, though, Miss Clinton should continue her studies at the p1ivate school she currently attends so that she will be able to help in the rebuilding effort to which her father is so committed. Item the Fourth: In our last issue Al Mueller asked you to submit your opinions on the core cuniculum. Without using any four-letter words, I'll try to offer my oi:,inion, because I think our cuniculum is seriously lacking in one area: current events. Students are wandering around this campus oblivious to the happenings in Bosnia and Somalia. Meanwhile, we're all forced to endure courses like "History of Three-Legged Eucalyptus Tree Worshippers," which have little or no relevance to how we live our lives in the twentieth century. What we need is a mandatory cuITent events course. Each student would be required to take this course in order to graduate. Ir we're lucky, maybe they'll use it to replace Core Studies 101, which is the biggest waste of time since Super Bowl XXVII. This is my personal recommendation to the Faculty-Student Relations Committee. Do with it what you will. Talking about slav By STEPHANIE KRAMER Beacon Staff Writer On Tuesday, February 2 Randall Miller presented a lecture entitled "Slavery and Oiiginsof Af1ican-American Culture" in the CPA. The lecture focused on the various aspects of African culture in music, dance, art and architecture. The religious cultures of African-American people were also briefly discussed. Miller's lecture was both interesting and informative. He enlightened his audience on the various means by which the slaves were "molded by the expeiience of bondage." Slave huts in the United States, for instance, great! y resembled the dwellings of their peoples in Africa, yet also took on strong characteristics of European society with the use of doors.

" Clubs like Political Science and Nursing handed out red ribbons, the national symbol of AIDS awareness and pamphlets. The Education and Biology Clubs displayed the results of studies they did in AIDS education in schools and the biology of the disease, respectively. The Sociology Club had a quiz game, where people were asked an AIDS-related question and if they answered correctly, they were rewarded with a piece of gum. The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association (L.G.B.A.) handed out condoms to promote safe sex. That promotion of safe sex however, kept people of some religious beliefs away from the school on Tuesday. All area high schools and the general public were invited to attend, but the Catholic Diocese of Scranton said that while AIDS education is important, the promotion of safe sex went against their moral teachings, and parochial schools did not attend. Many Wilkes students think that AIDS education is important as well. Senior Dave Wheeler said, "without AIDS education, you are forcedto make an informed decision from myths and little bits of information, and you can't fight an enemy you don't know." Other students felt ignoring AIDS was, "risking your life." Diane O'Brien, Coordinator of Health Services, says there is no information availble that tell if anyone at Wilkes is infected with HIV. O'Brien says this is because the Pennsylvania Department of Health keeps the names of those infected in deep confidence. Only those tested learn of theresults. Awareness survey has alarming results BY MARLENE MATOSKY Beacon Staff Writer Dr. Michael Steele's Core Studies 101 class conducted a survey "AIDS Awareness of the Students of Wilkes University." The survey's data was presented at World AIDS Day. Information about student's feelings and beliefs on AIDS was the topic; questions ranged from the number of sex partners since becoming sexually active to the question, "do asymptomatic [without symptoms] HIV carriers eventually develop AIDS?" Ofthe428 students surveyed, 159 were freshmen, 110 were sophomores, 92 were juniors, and 67 were seniors. This is equal to about one-fifth of the student population at Wilkes. The survey was broken down into two areas: AIDS/ HIV awareness and student behavior related to AIDS/HIV. Approximately 15 percent of the students believe that AIDS is "increasing most rap- idly" among homosexuals.

From 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., lectures, poster displays and a panel discussion educated Wilkes students, faculty and administration, as well as local high school students and the community about the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the virus that causes AIDS. The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association took part, with Wilkes' Music Educators National Conference and Cue 'n' Curtain, in the day-long affair. Our stand was based on the theme "Safer Sex Saves Lives." In accordance with the theme of our display, we distributed condoms Cubricated and unlubricated), water-based lubricant packets, a pamphlet from the Gay Men's Health Crisis about how people, gay or straight, could guard themselves against the disease and showed a safe sex video. Although the day went without any hassles, there were signs that itcoulj have gone differently. On Sunday, November 29 the Sunday Independent ran a story with the headline "Diocese: 'Just Say No' ToSeminaronAIDS." The story had quotes from a letter dated November 18 from Monsignor John W . Jordan, who is the Superintendent of Schools for the Diocese. Thecompletetextofhisletter, which was sent to all diocesan pastors, follows: "December I issetasideasAIDSAwareness Day in our nation. Some local organizers have planned some educational awareness programs. "Of particular interest is an AIDS Program at Wilkes University. While it is an informative day, the program will include several sensitive issues and some graphic presentations portraying AIDS as the deadly disease it is. 'The Distribution of Condoms in Schools: The Pros and Cons' as well as 'Safer Sex Saves Lives' and the distribution of condoms by the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual Association raise some moral considerations. "Wilkes has requested pennission to issue invitations to school districts so that 'information ... vital to the health and well-being of Corps without realizing he was settling his future. After completing his Peace Corps work in Kenya, he returned to Africa almost immediately, doing graduate study on pastoral nomads who had lost their camels due to drought. Later graduate studies centered on the factors affecting adaptation: drought andsocialstress. Yearsofstudy convinced him that the pasta- today's youth' may be discussed. "The Office of Catholic Education has declined that invitation to our schools for obvious reasons. However, my interest in writing to you is that some of your high school parishioners may have received this . invitation through your local public school district. You may wish to alert your parents that this 'Wilkes World AIDS Day' may not impart the moral lessons that our Church teaches. "Thank you for your concern on this matter." First of all, we are not against the Catholic Church or its teachings in general, but, when it comes to a matter of the church advocating death, we must intervene. By the church's teachings, if a virgin marries a virgin and neither has used drngs, they will not get AIDS. We agree with the church on this issue, but, unlike the church, we know this euphoric example is by no means the norm of society. People, even good Catholics, have sex before marriage. They may also have more than one partner. Most high school students by the age of 17 have had roughly four sexual partners. So why would it be bad for these high schoolers to educate themselves on how to save their own lives? We are not saying pre-marital sex is right (for heterosexuals, that is, since gays can ONLY have pre-marital sex, but that's a whole other column). We are saying it is happening. Burying your head in the sand and saying otherwise will only lead to the death of innocent people. Since these teenagers are having sex, shouldn't they receive the proper information on how to protect themselves, and then make their own choices? Condoms may or may not promote promiscuity, but ignorance promotes death. Hopefully at next year's World AIDS Day, we can avoid trivial issues such as condom distribution and focus people's awareness on real issues, such as education, prevention and health care. ral nomads, who had adapted to drought for centuries, were harmed more by modern political conflicts than by recurrent environmental disasters. After earning his Ph.D., Merryman was drawn back for applied study on rural credit use in Tanzania, dry land agriculture in Somalia, Ethiopian refugees in Somalia and plans to dam the Juba, Somalia's only perennial stream. Teaching has always been Merryman' s goal, but he has no plans to leave field work behind forever. "It's very important so you don't get stale," he said. Where will he go? He wants to return to Africa, because it "is even more exciting than I expected because of the diversity. Merryman said, where else can I find that diversity?" �_l)f;CEMBER PAGE4 3, 1992 The Scent In the Wind WORLD AIDS DAY AT WILKES World AIDS Day has come and gone, but it seems as if this cam pus has gotten the message to practice safe sex . The entire day was more than helpful and had many suggestions for the campus community, as well as the Wilkes-Barre community at large. Students, staff and faculty who planned and participated in this event should be commended for all of their outstanding presentations. Every presentation was taken very seriously, and it wasn't just thrown on as some type of side-show. World AIDS Day at this university was hailed by a local newspaper reporter as "very informative. When our reporter came back to the office, she had so much information for all who were in the newsroom. It seemed as if all angles were covered at Wilkes." As a student of this university one can be very proud of the efforts put forth by the campus community about the importance of AIDS prevention and detection. A great many of the poster presenters ran videos on basic skills necessary for men, women and children to survive in this day and age with the advent of AIDS. It was good to see so many people work together on a cause which some seem to think is a hush-hush topic. Wilkes has showed the Wyoming Valley that that sort of thinking can be hazardous to your health. Despite the controversial local newspaper coverage prior to the event, Wilkes went on to set a precedent for its students and its community. Each person that gave some of their time, money, crafts and expertise to this event should pat themselves on the back, not just once but twice. All who came as onlookers were surprised when entering the SLC lobby. Wilkes had something for everybody, even for children in pre-school. Many might not think that they are a potential victim of AIDS, but they are, and they need to first see themselves as somebody before they can even try to understand AIDS and what it is, as well as what it can do to you. For adults, young adults, teens and adolescents, presenters showed videos on how to date and what to say when your date tries feverishly to romance you and you want them to be protected before the romance begins. It was something for everyone. If you missed it, catch it next year. That's right, Mrs. Zehner, next year! Again, great going, Wilkes University. You have truly shown that all things hidden should and sometimes must come to the surface to better prepare people for what's out there and what might come (no pun intended). by Al Mueller This week, I am going to try something different. On February 9, 1993, the Faculty-Student Relations Committee will be hostinga forum on the curriculum.

The direct cost is the money spent to care for a person who has AIDS. According to Healy, hospital care for an HIV patient is $168,000. The indirect cost to keep a 29year-old alive who can not work is estimated at $729,000. Healy believes that"every disease is preventable at a. .. cost.

"Education should begin at age eight or nine years old." Healy, in conjunction with WNEP Channel 16, made a 3O-minute television special about AIDS. The show will be aired during prime-time. Dr. Robert Brown, Director of Medical Education at General Hospital, spoke on the global overview of the HIV disease. "In the early '8Os, in San Francisco and New York City, gay men and drug users started to get tumors." According to Brown, these tumors became connected with HIV. Brown also stated that AIDS started in equatorial Africa. From Africa, the dis- ease spread to Haiti, and then to the United States in the mid '7Os. "World-wide, there are 15 million AIDS cases. These are the reported cases. Africa doesn't have testing," said Brown. Dr. Gary Decker, lnfectious Disease Physician, spoke on HIV in the Wyoming Valley. "There are 72 reported cases in Luzerne County," commented Decker. However, he believes that the number may actually be two to three times higher. According to Decker, people in the Wyoming Valley withAIDSfallintotwocategories: people who have lived here their whole life and those who moved away, contracted AIDS, and moved back to the area to seek care. Dennis, who is HIV positive, spoke about having the disease for the first time in public. He learned about the disease when he was tested seven years ago after his friend Bill died of AIDS.

A student wrote in complai,n t about his/her Math 101 professor. I am also in the class with this student, but I do not see any problem in the class, other than irresponsibility on the student's part. At the beginning of the course, the instructor gave the class a schedule of the mathematics tutors for the semester. There are tutors available from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Also, the instructor gave the class his office hours, explaining that he would make time for any student needing help even if he does not have office hours at that time. The complaining student stated that "There is a definite problem when more than half of a class is failing the course and every student has a complaint." Well, the student was incorrect in his/her assumption that over half of the class is failing. Eighty percent of the class is passing the course. I have no complaint about the instructor and there are other students who find nothing wrong with the instructor's teaching methods. The professor of this course is being verbally attacked by immature students, during class time. The classroom is not the place to voice an opinion. I have gone to see the math tutors on several occasions, and have found them very helpful. I have also been to the instructor's office for assistance, and found him very receptive and understanding. He is a fair teacher and is always willing to help a student in need. Dear Wilkes University Students: The fall semester is drawing to a close.

His vow to allow homosexuals in the armed forces has set him apart from those close- minded people, such as George Bush and most other conservatives, who disagree with this notion. As was stated in.the last Beacon edition, Bill Clinton is out to foil those "homophobics" and "supermacho, pigheaded, ignorant men who are too afraid to risk their precious masculinity in order to,see the light of day." Is it safe to assume that George Bush is such a homophobic by denying homosexuals the right to serve their country? Is this yet another example of how homose xuals (the ultimate victim) are being beaten and suppressed by the proverbial stick, the one which is held by a mindless and unenlightened portion of society? Maybe, but let us examine some other considerations. There is no doubt that homosexuality is inherent within a given individual and not a lifestyle one simply decides to which to subscribe. It would seem wrong to inhibit such a person from pursuing happiness just because they are born different than yourself. This is especially true if they are not inhibiti ng you from pursuing your endeavors. As this is applied to the armed forces, it seems doubtful that one' s sexuality renders them incapable to perform their duties. A gay person would not be Jess competent in driving a tank because of their sexu ality. However, even in light of all this, other complications seem likely. Advocates of a proposal allowing homosexuals in the armed fo rces tend to ignore the classic argume nts of those who oppose it. Such advocates do not see the value of male bonding and comradery in co:nbat. These advocates of homosexuals in the service believe it is ridiculous that the presence of homosex uals would lower enthusiasm and comradery among soldiers. They write the arguement off as another excuse made by the aforementioned homophobics who are supposedly "the real problem." Let us, then, continue to blindly ignore such theories adopted by the Bush administration and move to something else. What about pure distraction? Being that the "homophobics" do not count, and the admission of gays in the military is their tough luck, the distractions that heterosexuals may suffer from tlie presence of homosexuals will also be blindly ignored for now. To concenrate on the distractions of homosexuals themselves, an analogy is appropriate. Being a single heterosexual myself, I can admit that irI were thrown into a co-ed platoon in the Marines, I would be distracted. Sleeping among women and working close to them on a daily basis could likely promote my admiration toward one or more of them. Due to my responsibilities and obligation to my country, I would abort any pursuits. However, the intense stressful and non-social structure of the armed forces may make it difficult, as well as distracting. Such distraction would probably inhibit my performance. Who is to say that everybody would take their obligations as seriously? Fortunately, there are no coed platoons for these obvious reasons. However, this should apply to homosexuals. 1l1eir sexual interests undeniably promote these very same problems of the hypothetical co-ed platoon. Homosexuals are as human as heterosexuals; thus, they are susceptible to the same temptations and distractions. Furthermore, in the hypothetioal co-ed platoon, a promiscuous heterosexual may find him or herself in a haven, just as a promiscuous homosexual would in a regular platoon. There is no reason to believe that homosexuals are any more disciplined, responsible or self- restraining than heterosexuals. With this in mind. whv should gav indi victuals be given a conducive environment to oursue their sexual endeavors, to whatever degree, via our military? This is denied to heterosexuals. Women and men are not in co-ed platoons. Promiscuous gays would get a "release," but promiscuous heterosexuals must wait for their leave. Monogamous homosexuals may prospect for a mate, while monogamous heterosexuals also must wait for leave. Finally, abstinent homosexuals would at least be distracted - that is, assuming they are as human as heterosexuals. Heterosexuals would also be distracted. There's no need to discuss that here, since it is just a problem stemming from homophobia! In any case, the possibility that you are being prospected in a way you do not understand or appreciate would be distracting, homophobia or not. Such prospecting does not have to be flagrant. It can amount to certain glances or plays on words which prove distracting to many women and some men trying to do their johs in the norm of society. Finally, in a situation where people are carrying loaded weapons, is it a good idea to promote offenses even if they are only misinterpretations made by "homophobics?" Presently, homosexuals in the service must hide their sexual preference in order to keep their jobs. For the above reasons, they may be somewhat distracted in certain situations. However, as it stands, rules providing certain consequenc'!s help divert such distractions fairly well. That's right , suppression - just as the intent is to suppress all expressions of sexuality in the armed forces. Now, why sanction homosexuality in the military and promote the aforementioned problems? Surely social change and acceptance is important, but is Clinton really enlightened by making the military an experimental laboratory to force this change? Since the Democrats enjoy quotas, let's at least force acceptance of homosexuality in the ci viii an world. Let's lift all restrictions on gay bath houses or something of the sort, but let's not stir hatred in our military. The function of our military is too important. The Cold War is over. Communism is no longer a threat. Is this justification to promote discord in the armed forces? They said the Si!me thing about the tuberculosis epidemic and the decline of Germany as a result of World War I. Clinton's vow to allow homosexuals in the mi litary may be an example of his irresponsible desire to make people happy at the cost of issues far more important. He may have been compelled to fight Iraq with a tlock of content and distracted homosexuals, as well as a mass of disgru ntled "homophobics." However, I preferred Bush's use of organized sorties, strikes and patriot missiles backed by enthusiastic brave and somewhat undistracted soldiers. The homosexuals who were there did their job without a need to cry out their sexual prefere nce. They were able to refrai n from distracti ng themselves and others in the midst of delicate operations. Priorities had prevailed. What now? �. PAGE 8 . .

Next, Wilkes played host to Lycoming in their first Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) game. The Lady Colonels trailed by a point at half time, but used a big second half to put Lycoming away, 72-50.

In this same spirit, the leader of the pack has decided to take a break from his usual harassment of the prey and devote his thoughts to the idea of giving thanks. Cynics and pessimists might believe that Thanksgiving is just another day. Yet, this day should really be a time of rejoicing. There are many things that we, as students, staff or faculty, have for which we ought to be thankful, especially because of what has transpired over the last year or so. The hopes and dreams of generations have finally been fulfilled - the United States and its old enemy came to an agreement that significantly reduced the threat of nuclear war. Despite a sluggish economy, our nation's sales indexes are rising, which Changes in coliege curricula have been under question within the valley for maybe ten years or so. Curricula are the mainframe of each institutions school system. Each school, depending if it is state supported or privately supported, says what a student should get out of their educational learning experience. Colleges can easily improve curricula content by adding more courses that would enable students to deal with the world of the 21st century by including multicultural experiences in them. College curricula is full already and there is no room for adding new courses to the already cumbersome course load, some seem to say. Students must cram into four years what should be designed for them to take over a five year period. It takes a great deal of dedication and hard work for students to obtain a degree in the allotted amount of four years; more classes means more time and money spent while attending college. In spite of some people bellowing on about adding more courses to the already cumbersome course loads, multicultural experiences can be incorporated into existing courses across the board. First, in English courses, reading assignments should not only be dominated by the writings of white males, but also include writings of females, African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native-Americans. This would ultimately train students about literary others and increase awareness and appreciation of those who share the literary world around them. Secondly, at the other end of the spectrum, science courses can incorporate research assignments that would delve into hidden stories on people of color who have greatly contributed to science insofar as their achievements and failures . Most students don't know and can't name any contributions made to science other than those made by white Americans. There are many achievements of all types of people in America and the world. Students should not have to rely on parents, churches, or other organizations for the promotion of multiculturalism, this can happen and be promoted directly in the college classroom.

Recently, the Communication Club requested funding from Student Government (SG) for activities which remain central to the purpose of the club - information (via a newsletter) and career education (via an outside speaker for our socials). Although we only asked for money to cover copying and postage expenses, SG voted to deny the newsletter funding (but did grant $100 for a speaker for fall semester). Despite the fact that our retention/recruitment-oriented newsletter must now seek other resources or stop production, a more serious problem has become evident to me. Specifically, I do not believe that the process of judging requests for funding by SG members throughout the year enables those members to fairly and equitably distii bute money to student organizatio.ns.and.to worthy projects. For example, since the bulk of Communication Club's request was denied, only$ I 00 of the money paid by communications majors (the third largest major in the College of Arts and Sciences) in student activity fees will come back to the Department of Communication (The Bea,con, The Debate Team and the Radio and TV stations receive funding from other lines, and IABC relies on outside fund-raising efforts). Hence, the question remains: does SG consider financial equity to students according to major, as well as the pragmatic benefits of activities to students when deciding how to allocate funds to student organizations? More importantly, how can SG properly weigh these factors when requests com~ in throughout the year? I believe that ~:G should consider requests from all student organizations for a given academic year at one time (e.g., August or September). In that way, the requests may be considered (preferably, according to some standard criteria) to ensure equity and fairness. Sincerely, Christina S.

As we say good-bye to one season, never fear, because the winter sports seasons will soon be upon us. We would like to wish all the teams and their coaches the best of luck in their up-corning seasons. ********************************************* Now that all the nice stuff is out of the way, let's talk some business. As you can see, we had a little mistake which appeared last week in our sports section. We were informed about it (not nicely, I might add) and apologized for any inconveniences that may have occurred (which were none). For any further mistakes that we might make, please feel free to let us know, and we will immediately make the correction. For those pointing out the mistakes, remember what Jesus said: "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." It is very unfortunate that I have to write something like this, but it troubled my staff and me, so here it is in black and white. For the record, in one of my first columns I did ask you to let me know if there was a problem with one of my writers, but I thought it would be done in a nicer way. I was wrong!!!!!! ********************************************* While I'm still on my soapbox, let's talk about playing as a team. This by no means goes out to any of our sports teams. They have done a great job playing as a team. This goes out to those people who are an organization and say they are working toward a common goal, but, believe me, they are not. When you're working together on something there will, of course, be some misunderstandings, but, if you want to get the best results, you should learn to relax and stick together, or disaster can, and will, strike. This is not directed at any one organization ... NOT!!!! You know who you are, so worry about your own jobs, and let those in charge do their own work!!!

Another timely issue was fire drills in Pickering Hall.

"In doing so, we may find a couch that is ours," said Lampe-Groh. "It's not that we search specifically for illegal furniture. It's just that it's so obvious to us as we lookforunevacuatedstudents."

If students run into a problem, "depending on when the problem surfaces," Meyers said, the student may be able to find a solution. For example, if the problem is found in August, the student still has a chance to make up the class. If there is no way the student can fill the requirement, he or she can petition the Academic Standards Committee (ASC), chaired by Dr. Laurel Ginsburgh, for a waiver.

NSOreceived$600thatwill be used to help send eight members to a conference from November 11-14. Originally, the money was going to pay for the regi~tration of the NSO's executlve board members and lodging for all of the members, but John Comerford, SG Treasurer, suggested that the NSO "distribute the power" by dividing the money equally among all eight persons for their lodging and registration. This measure was passed with the stipulation that those students who (Forum, Cont. from Page, 1) John Pesta, $250,000 of work is required to meet ADA guidelines.

TheHistoryClubhadthefirs reading of its constitution. Th club has its own constitution be cause the Political Science an History Clubs were once a singl entity. Now that they have split however, each club needs its ow constitution. According to Jef Meyers, president of the Histor Club, the purpose of the club is t "introduce historl into the stu dent body" and aid in the ex change of knowledge, ideas an opinions in the field of history. SG will be showing Tlz Allison G/zerts Story and a Magi Johnson-Arsenio Hall AIDS pro gram as a pait of.World AID Day. There is a $100 rental ~ for the Glzerts film , which goe to the Los An eles AIDS Clinic On the lighter side, the question of "covert operations on condoms'' was addressed. According to a student, it seems that when individuals ask for condoms at the Health Office, the woman who passes them out is embarrassed. Also, only three condoms at a time are usually passed out. Betty Kwack of Health Services said that the woman passing out the condoms is only trying to prevent the student from embarrassment, and, if asked for, more condoms will be given out. "They just go so fast," Kwack added . From condoms to food: can some of the money students spend on food go toward a charity? Mike Zeoli of Food Services commented that the money they made from students buying food is not enough to cover all the costs. "We hope a student won't eat every meal, but more students are eating the meals than we have expected," added Zeoli. �PAGE4 EDITORIAL- NOVEMBER 12, 1992 The Scent In the OPEN FORUM A SUCCESS? . . The topic that brought about the largest and most hilanous response from the audience as well as the panel concerned the dispersing of free condoms to the student body. A male student asked Nurse Betty why it seemed as if the dispersing of condoms to students was some type of "covert operation." He explained, when going to the nurse's office to obtain condoms, the secretary tells the nurse, then asks you to have a seat in the waiting room across the hall. Next, you're called into the examination room where the nurse inconspicuously shoves the condoms in your hand, three at a time. "Is three the magic number?," he asked. . "~o," said Nurse Betty, "you can get as many as you like. We Just regularly give out three at a time." The audience roared with laughter. That was on the lighter side of things.On the more serious side was a question about career services. This discussion led to the mere fact that this department in our school may be a little one-sided on who they really help obtain employment upon graduating from Wilkes. Also, it was brought to the attention of the panel that maybe career services should focus on helping juniors and not just seniors. It seems as if it just might make a little more sense to start when students are juniors to look for employment. By the time we are seniors, we should already know how to look for a job, write a resume, and have the confidence to approach employers in what we have come to know as an ailing job market. ~ike the "Cafman" and Morrison Management hope we do~ t eat all of our meals. Yes, you heard me right, the cafetena doesn't want us to eat there, at least not all of the time. T~e cafeteria figures that a certain percentage of payed meals w~ll ~ot be used during the year and bases meal plan costs on this figure. Why are we paying for meals when the cafeteria knows we won't eat them anyway? Can a resident assistant search your room? No, but he or she can clearly see that you have Wilkes lounge furniture in it. Get rid of it, you will be fined. Just another concern from a student who resides in a dorm that has many fire drills. For all of you who missed the Open Forum, you lost a great chance to voice your opinion about what happens -at Wilkes. In 1892, the Republican President, Benjamin Harrison, was plagued by the Homestead Steel Strike, which forced hundreds of steel workers out of their jobs and brought the issue of wages before the eyes of the American public. The disgruntled labor unions threw their votes to the Democratic challenger, Grover Cleveland, and to the Populist candidate, General Weaver. The incumbent was ousted, and the nation moved toward what some thought would be an era of change. Does this sound familiar? It should. President George Bush suffered at the hands of an angry mob because he was unable to deal with the exigencies brought on by a slow-growth economy and a poor economic outlook for the immediate future. Governor Clinton, our president-elect, has promised us change in the form of an inflationary money policy, and he is already attempting to install his panacea through his "transition committee." Some people might suggest that this type of plan is just what we need to get the nation's economy moving again. Others might suggest that Clinton's plan must be right because he received the mandate of the electorate. Neither of these beliefs however, are accurate. First, the election results suggest that no one really viewed either candidate's plan as being truly capable of solving the problems facing the nation. Instead, the American people seem to have felt that, since Bush was unable to handle the domestic crisis, it was time to at least give Clinton a chance. Sec- ondly, as anyone in the Economics can tell you, mixing inflationary money and hard currency policies, such as lowed during the past twelve years, is matter and anti-matter. The result is a a big bang-or perhaps, to continue Iii I should say a big bust.

He can look forward to adding another year's worth of awards to his collection for this season's play. Another senior who will be greatly missed is Tom Nally. The defender from Lafayette Hill, Pa., scored two goals and recorded one assist for the Colonels. Nally was the key to the boaters' defense for the majority of the past four seasons. His loss will leave another big gap to fill. Phil Joyce, a senior midfielder from Oceanside, N.Y., had three assists this season for Wilkes. Joyce was a 2nd team MAC All-Star his sophomore year. Mike Seltzer, a midfielder from Newtown, Pa., scored three goals and two assists this season playing in all 20 games for the Colonels.

Sports Face$ Crunch." . The article stated that "at least 17 states report changes directly related to reduced budgets with some imposing pay~or-play fees on student-athletes, others foregoing pay increases for coaches, and some considering other sources of revenue such as commercial sponsorship for their teams." The thought of having kids pay-for-play really doesn't sit well with not only me, but with some local coaches and athletic directors as well. Tom Griffith, an assistant coach who saw this almost take place at Williamsport High School, gave some of the details that would go along with this idea of pay-for-play. "The kids would have to pay $10 for the first physical, which every athlete must have, and $5 for the second physical if the child played two sports. They would have to buy their own sneakers and then a coach in every sport would have to be cut," said Griffith. Fortunately these actions were not taken, but it was a close call. Griffith said there is one way to solve this problem: "have a corporate sponsor pick up the tab for a sport." However, this could cause controversy if the player is the sponsor's child but doesn't play much, if at all. Another problem could be that since the corporate sponsor put up the money, it might want to dictate how the program is run." Another coach who feels the same way as coach Griffith is Tom McGuire, head coach at Seton Catholic High School. "I am totally against it. Sports should be open to all, no matter how rich or poor. By putting stipulations like that into effect you make the family choose between a sport or foo d. There are more ways to pay for athletics," said McGuire. Coaches are not the only ones against this idea of payfor-play, athletic directors are also against it. Chr~s Perry, athletic director at Hazleton Area High School m Hazleton, Pa. says, "I'm not in favor of it one bit, the negatives out-weigh the positives. It is not right to deny somebody the right to play a sport if they can not afford to pay for it. There are other areas that could be cut back on so this doesn't have to take place." Perry also added, "There has not been any mention of it in our league and I don't see it happening soon." Coach Karen Haag, Wilkes' head women's basketball coach says, "being a former high school teacher I know there are things which can be cut before athletics. There has to be more to save athletics." Coach Jerry Rickrode, head men's basketball coach at Wilkes ~ays, "I would rather see kids pay-for-play than do away with sports all together. I would rather nip athletics than education." ~I thes~ coaches make good points. While I am against makmg a child pay-for-play; at the same time, I would rather see a child get a quality education instead of a poor one because the education budget was cut to support a sports program. There has to be something we can do to have both quality education and sports. After all, sports do teach children a lot. Hopefully, the day will never come when we have to make a child pay-for-play. 12, 1992 Harriers in MAC Championshi This weekend the cross country team did not have enough athletes in order to qualify as a team at the MAC Championships, however, six members did run the race.

With the win, the Colonels boosted their record to 5-3-1 overall and 3-3-1 in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). The Colonels entered the game without Boo Perry, their starting quarterback, due to a head injury suffered in last week's game. Jack Swearheart started the game at quarterback for Wilkes. The Colonels and the Indians played to a scoreless first quarter. Juniata scored first in the second quarter, taking a 3-0 lead on a 23-yard field goal by Andy Lowery. Juniata entered Colonels territory several more times in the quarter, but the Wilkes defense denied any further attempts to score. Wilkes found themselves going into halftime down 3-0.

Thus, the 1992-93 season begins a new era, highlighted by a new attitude and a new head coach, Jerry Rickrode. Rickrode comes to Wilkes after spending four years as a full time assistant at Ithaca (N.Y.) College, where he was in charge of recruiting and scouting. Before his full time stint at Ithaca, Rickrode was an Rickrode was named the assistant at Utica College in school's Senior Athlete of the 1987, a graduate assistant at Year.

What kind of program would it be if you were in a place where there isn't pressure to win?" said Rickrode. Rickrode's staff includes three assistants: John Dunne, Joe Kremer and Bob Simmons. Dunne, a 1992 graduate of Ithaca College, finished as the school's all-time leader in steals, third in assists, and was team captain as a senior. He will not only assist with the varsity but will also be the head jayvee coach for the Colonels. Kremer, a 1990 graduate of Hamilton (N.Y.)

Wilkes University was the first school to use the "Operation Alert", which is now used at twenty-six different colleges and universities, and is also used at hospitals. Cookus says he only knows of two cases in Wilkes-Barre in which Operation Alert has been used successfully. The first case was in Public Square, when a woman was approached by two individuals. The woman became suspicious, and she set off the alarm. When the alarm was set off, the two individuals fled . The second incident was on South Franklin Street when a jacket crossed the street , and approached her. The woman became suspicious and pressed the alarm. When the alarm was pressed, the man ran away. Cookus said that a lot of students use the Operation Alert as a door alarm sucessfully. Cookus said that it was good for him and Wilkes University to get the award because it gives recognition to the school.

Gay people exist on this campus. There's most likely one (or more) in each of your classes, possibly even your teacher. Statistically, ten percent of society is known to be gay. But how does this supposed "ten percent" deal with balancing gay life and Wilkes life? At a recent meeting of the Lesbian, Gay, andBisexualAssociationmeeting,questions were asked of the members in attendance as to what they felt about being gay, how their classmates might look atthem, and what role the LGBA plays in their lives. A sample of the responses follow. -----------------■ • Society around here: evil, perverted, sick, What does it mean to you to be gay? • It's just a part of me, but not all of me. • That I am able to enjoy life in any way I would like. To spend my life with whomever I choose, and to love as I wish. • It means being myself. •Tome, being gay means that I feel attraction to people of the same sex, part of the attraction is sexual, but more of it is emotional. • I think of being gay as being special, because a lot of people who shaped the way society is today were gay, such as Freud, Shakespeare, and Walt Whitman. Also, I feel that being homosexual helps me be a more open-minded person than most. • Being gay means simply that I am attracted to members of my own sex. It means simply that I am a little different. • I'm the sameexceptforthe fact that I am sexually attracted to men. And the other difference is not because of me or my actions, but usually how society looks at me. I am comfortable with being gay, but society forces me to deal with it more than I usually would. • It's what I am. It's my life. It's as natural to me as breathing, I can't imagine not being gay. • Being gay means having a life where you always wonder what people are thinking of you. If someone doesn't like me, I wonder if it's because they know I'm gay. Life seems to be a constant living in the closet, although the door is open. I feel I can't do some things, like holding hands in public, etc., because of society's reaction. How do you feel society perceives homosexuality? in picture (clockwise, 1 tor) Dr. Bradford Kinney, Al ,Michael Butchko, Holly K. Evans, LynnMarie e, and Jennifer Barkas. (center) Lynn Krutz. put in certain situations, they feel they must conform to type. • Society perceives homosexuality as twisted and purely sexual. It fails to see the love, caring and emotions that are also involved, just as with heterosexuality. It cannot, for the most part, see past its own prejudices and fears. • They feel it is a choice, that I one day just decided "Girls were nice, but I think that guys are cuter," which is not the case. They feel we are deviants who like flaunting the fact that we're gay, when all we want is equality. • Society's gut reaction is usually very negative, they close their minds. •Asa wrong or evil thing that only happens to bad people. • I think it really depends on how you look at it. I think that society in general accepts it, but what is publicized is the hatred of gays. Bad things are what really get attention. • The spectrum runs from the farthest-right violence towards gays to the gay or lesbian person's ultimate acceptance of herself/himself. We are, after all, members of the society doing the "perceiving." • I think that most individuals accept it, but when warped, embarrasing, scary. Society elsewhere: They're gradually coming to see it as a part of life, as just a normal variation in people. Hopefully, the valley will eventually catch up. • The older generation denied it exists, or is anti-gay. Younger people are more open, but because of the many influences of religion, parents, etc., they seem to not be open. It takes a lot of courage and self-examination to realize you can be friends with gays and not be gay. Yet, much of society may perceive you that way anyhow. Society is still pussy-footing this issue, but they have been slowly becoming more accepting. What do you get out of being a member of the LGBA? • A better understanding of being more "active" and learning about my civil rights and meeting people. • Friendship, support. • I've made a lot of good friends through the LGBA. It makes me feel that we may actually be able to make a difference in the world. • I get a feeling of satisfaction. We provide a setting in which being gay is not an issue which puts people at risk. Here, being gay or lesbian is a given for the majority of people. My freshmanyear(sovery long ago)Iwished there would have been such a thing. • I was a little apprehensive at first, because I didn't know what to expect. Once I became a member, I realized that we are all here to help each other grow socially, as well as psychologically. I can only say "Thank God for the LGBA." • The LGBA has helped me cope with my coming out, and helped me feel more comfortable with myself. It has let me know that I am not alone, both here at Wilkes and the valley, and even the world. I've also made a number of important friendships, which I hope to continue well past the time I spend here at Wilkes. • Just being around people that I can be myself with 100 percent. Normally, I am me, but always keeping my guard up. It's a place where I truly feel among peers. I don't know where I'd be if the LGBA wasn't here. As you might imagine, there isn't much of a local gay scene. • The ability to be who I am without hiding it. It helped me come out at the University. ......... - ......... - .. - .. - - - • • i • ~ �EDITORIAL- The Scent In the Wind by Al Mueller Clinton Sweeps Election Now that the election is over, many people have begun to make predictions about whether or not our next president of the United States will live up to the expectations of the people. Republicans and Democrats alike seem to be anxiously awaiting for the "fumbles" or the magnificently executed deliberations of Bill Clinton. This is America. The land where all people are given the opportunity to voice their opinions openly and freely. The land where all people can take an active part in their governments political process. The land "where everyone counts and everyone is a part of America's family," s'aid Bill Clinton in his acceptance speech late Tuesday night. It has been some twenty-odd years or so that our Commander in Chief has uttered words like this and seemed to have meant them. This election was one of the most important elections in many of our lifetimes. America is in need of a change. Changes in its own domestic relations, not just economically, but a change for people. People is what makes the world go 'round, not economy. There would be no economy without people. America has been devastated by the effects and defects of the soon to ending Reaganomic era, it's time for a change. America has finally recognized this fact, the results in the electoral vote, as well as the popular vote tell us that. Clinton said, "Let's reunite our already United States." "Together we can do it, a partnership for a new country." Advice for Graduating Seniors Seniors it's that time for you to register for the last time, but are you sure you have all the courses and credits you need? The Registrar's office is finding that many students who expect to graduate in May are lacking writing intensive and core studies courses. Are you one of these students? It is possible for you to find out by seeing your advisor. They are available to help you in every possible way. Go to see them now if you have not done so already. The key to you successfully going through the graduation process is by getting your graduation clearance sheet to check for any holes in the courses you've already taken and in your curriculum's graduation requirements. Seniors this year will be the first to graduate under the new core requirements, so some confusion is expected. It is up to you to make sure you are on the right track though. See your advisor, they maybe able to give you some good sound advice. People in our society are complaining about how the media are trying to do their thinking for them, and, given the Editor's penchant for arguments lacking substance and validity, it is not hard to see why people are complaining. However, if Ms. Breese really wants to hear about local Democrats, as she implies in her column of October 29, this columnist is more than willing to oblige her. At the top of the list is Representative Paul Kanjorski and his panacea, the Earth Conservancy. Earth Conservancy has been the catch word of the day at Wilkes, receiving support from even the top brass in the Administration. However, what most people don't realize is that the sole purpose of Earth Conservancy was to act as a pork barrel for Kanjorski, one that would allow him to bring $20 million to Pennsylvania to pump into businesses at his discretion. His plan almost worked, but other Representatives tampered with his proposed rider to the bill. Now, Pennsylvania has to compete for the money. Consequent}y, Earth Conservancy has turned out to be an honest-to-goodness attempt to heal the environment. As one person in PR said, "But, Al, it has to start somewhere." True, but this ends-justifies-the-means philosophy helps no one. Moreover, it is scary to think that any rational individual can buy into this philosophy, and, to those that do think along these lines, one can only say, "Haven't you heard? The Middle Ages are over." Speaking of the Middle Ages, let's turn our attention to Senator Ralph Musto, the manorial landlord himself.

Especially pleasing to the crowd was the contribution of Wilkes senior Greg Steuben, who read an original poem about a fictitious murder spree which featured members of the English departments as victims. The Execution ran very smoothly, according to event co-chairpersons Heidi Hojnowski and Melanie O'Donnell, both of whom are senior English majors at Wilkes. Hojnowski expressed delight at the "wonderful turnout, varied reading~ and a wonder- ful response." Said O'Donnell, "One comic, one harpoonist, and George Sand. What more could we ask for?" (the harpoon, incidentally, was a decorative contribution from Dr. J. Michael Lennon, who also read an excerpt from Moby Dick). The audience's response to the execution was also very positive.

The woman looked dead, but, suddenly, she came to life and started screaming. The Exorcist Room was next, in which an actual exorcism was being conducted. The group was then led down a dark hall where various creatures jumped out from the walls. The group was then led into the Mad Scientist's Room, where an experiment was taking place. Theexperimentinvolved taking blood from a donor and transferring it to a dead body in order to have it rise from the dead. There was a cabinet in the comer of the room, from which the dead body leapt. A seance took place in the next room . Three people were chanting the phrase "Rosemary" when, suddenly, someone rose from a couch that was behind the seance table. A creature then entered the room and exclaimed, "She's alive, and she's mine! Get Out! Get Out!" The last room was the Mirror Room where various creatures leapt out of boxes wrapped in tin foil. Overall, the haunted house was excellent. The caretaker and the mistress did a good job at performing their parts, as did the people in the various rooms. Most people seemed to enjoy the Evil Estate and said that it left them with an eerie feelng. As one visitor said, "I screamed my head off!" �PAGE6 World AIDS Day A IDS: Nature equipped you with an immune system to fight off infection and disease.

The test drug was supposed to induce psychic powers which might allow Tim to see what happened. The audience is also introduced to Tim's fiancee Susan who is a sexy, power-hungry drug dealer. Susan and the doctor despise each other because Susan does not like the way the doctor has a hold on Tim. Next, we meet Susan's sister Arny played by Wilkes' student Amy Kahonowitz. Amy is also the doctor's assistant. Sound good yet? Well to make things worse, T!.:m is having an affair with Amy because he can't get the satisfaction he wants from Susan, played by Holly Walder of Top Hat Productions. Susan finds out and starts fightingwithAmy. Whilehaving a vivid cat fight, A.ny crcps dP.ad in Susan's arm . Tim Navy, played by Charlie King, has a vision while under hypnosis . Susan exclaims, "Damn ...... .I broke a nail!" The body is carried out , the police are called, and the farce continues. Ne;~t, Tim agrees to have a sessio:i where he is given DepaP..ol, the test drug; and to be placed in a hypnotic state by Kensington. While in the trance, Tim has a vision of his father being killed and consequently, strangles Doug Barnes played by Wilkes student Jason Delcampe. So who killed Doug and Arny? Are you thoroughly confused? Well so were the audience members! The audience was then given a chance to ask questions and then vote on who they thought the killer was. Of course, it was the dear doctor. He killed Arny by giving her Depanol because she was blackmailing him. He accidentally killed his nephew Barnes by giving him th e Depanol. Barnes was then able to enter Tim ' s vision where he was strangled. In the end, the evil villian was shot by Susan. Those who had picked the doctor as the killer had their names drawn for prizes. Robin Rabbito and Melissa Duccashi won squirt guns. Stephanie Kramer, Andrew Glickman, and Tad Barnhart won T-shirts. Jeffrey Shedlock won the grand prize of $50.

One NBA general ichael Mellman, manager, speaking on the personal physician condition that he not be ers' team doctor, identified, was quoted in a 000, Calif. (AP) ---- for the second time story published Sunday in The New York Times as saying that Johnson should step aside to avoid any controversy. Malone was quoted in the story as saying, "Just because he came back doesn't mean nothing to me. It may be good for basketball, but you have to look far beyond that." Malone added, "Look at the cuts and scratches I get now. All of a sudden, the last second of the game, and here comes Magic to the basket. It's the same as, what if I had the virus as a player and what if a Buck Williams or a Charles Barkley comes in? "It's a physical game and you do get kicked and scratched," Malone added. "I do have concerns, just like anybody would have. It's not a thing of kicking a man when he's down." The 33 year-old had shocked the sports world last November 7 when he announced his retirement after testing HIV positive. A source close to Johnson speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the retirement was tied to the controversy surrounding the player's comeback, and not his health. , Another source familiar , with the situation, who also declined to be identified, said Johnson "probably thought he would be above any kind of controversy because he's Magic. But he discovered that wasn't going to happen." "I've come to realize that it simply isn't possible to return to playing in the NBA and still continue to be involved in all the things I want to do," Johnson said. "Although my family has given me their support to return to the Lakers, I feel that it is more important to spend my time with them as well as continuing with HIV and AIDS education projects than in the competitive world of the NBA." First year Laker coach Randy Pfund said Johnson's agent, Lon Rosen, called him Sunday night with the news. "I think everybody realized going in it might not have worked as perfectly as we would have wanted it to," Pfund said. Rosen said Johnson's primary aim is to educate people about AIDS. "His feeling was, if people were afraid to play against him, that could affect the outcome of the game, and Earvin didn't want that," he said. �PAGE 10 Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons NOVEMBER 5, 1992 Booters get ready for MISSIE CHINCHAR Beacon Asst.

Jellen scored the game winning goal just 46 seconds into overtime. Jellen busted the length of the field beating three Baptist Bible defenders as well as the goal keeper. In the final regular season match against Susquehanna, it was all Wilkes' offense. Once again Jellen scored in the opening minutes for the Colonels and the blue and gold never looked back. Jellen had two goals, while Tom Nally, Seltzer and Herb each had one goal. On Tuesday, the men lost to Messiah 6-0 in the MAC Northern Division title game. The Falcons scored three goals in the first half and three in the second half to earn their crown. "We had bad breakdowns in our defense and for the first time this season we gave up goals," said head coach Phil Wingert. There was great crowd support for the hooters, but the Colonels could not produce. "It was frustrating for the guys because we had the backing from the fans," said Wingert. He went on to say, "I don't think that we as a team have advanced to the level of play that Messiah has and it showed."

Clinton would like to make over the past four our schools safe again so children can go back to learning reading, writing and arithmetic, not in fear of their lives. Clinton would like to see that everyone who wants to, can attend college," said Kennedy. Kennedy majored in Women's Studies at Brown University. Presently, she is working on a documentary entitled, Pregnant Parenting Addicts. The film focuses on giving addict parents opportunities, not showing them as vietims. "My work on documentaries has mainly been on issues involving social struggle, power and change. They focus on one issue," said Kennedy.

It was her birthday, and she was exhausted from the trying campaign schedule, but she went on. Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of the top 100 lawyers in the United States, according to the The National Law Journal. and champion for the rights of children, stood before the huge crowd. From that one woman came a powerful speech with a powerful message that in which she genuinely believed. She highlighted the main points of her husband's plan to rebuild the country. She began by urging the crowd to "have the courage to change," much the same way President John F. Kennedy did from the same stage some 32 years earlier. She blasted the policies of the current administration, such as trickle down economics and the plight of the working poor, who,even though they work hard, still live below the poverty level. While discussing the Clinton-Gore plan to rebuild America and "grow the economy," she offered the solutions her husband has for these problems. According to Hillary Clinton, the current administration subsidizes American companies who train foreign workers in foreign countries, but there is no such plan for American workers. Governor Clinton's solutions deal with concentrating on education and training for workers and children, instead of pouring money into foreign policy. For example, Hillary Clinton said that her husband's plan for education calls for the elimination of the current student loan program. She said that students are borrowing $5 billion a year, but $1 billion of that money goes to pay for paperwork and processing fees alone. Under Clinton's plan to "invest in our people," a National Service Trust Fund would be set up from which students could borrow, instead of resort(See Hillary, Page 3) �OCTOBER 29, Ghouls,goblins,andthings that go bump in the night will mesmerize concertgoers Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31 , 1992, as the Northeast Pennsylvania Philharmonic conjures up its first pops concert of the season.

Votes can be cast in either Stark Lobby or the cafeteria. S.G. makes several constitutional changes The Student Government made several changes to it's c:onstituion. The Off-Campus Council (OCC), the President will become an associate voting member. Other constitutional changes were made to give the OCC status 1:quivalent to that of the Inter:~esidence Hall Council and the Commuter Council. The inclusion of the absentee policy which has been in practice for the past four semesters is another change. The addition of this procedure will alleviate future problems with dismissals. The next major change is the deletion of the Social Committee of the Programming Board. The Travel Committee was also deleted because it has not been a necessity in past years. Event organizers make any travel plans necessary to their event. A minor change is the replacement of the Student Government President and Parliamentarian by representatives intheirrespectiveclasses. One must be elected to a represen- tative position before accepting their role as president or parliamentarian, thus changing from a voting to a non-voting member. To ensure that the classes will have equal numbers of votes, the replacement representatives are necessary. The final change is that, in order for clubs or organizations to receive funds from Student Government, they must prove their affiliation with a volunteer group or community service activity.

Wilkes-Barre will again have its turn in the political process. Voting has been the number one topic of discussion for the pas several days, after the excitement of Project LEARN II died down. Ironically, people from all walks of life, (the homeless to the scholars) are talking about the election this year. Many people have asked, who will be endorsed in The Beacon, our front page speaks for itself. The city has been addressed by two viable Democrat women. What more can we ask for? Someone else to come here and talk about the issues? The issues of this nation, as well as the issues of Luzerne County are greater than any one person can handle. Yet and still we were thought about by the Clinton-Gore campaign people. It has been said that the valley is a staunch Republican place. Why haven't any of those Republicans come to our city to show us that they care? One would think it was because they feel they have this area sewn up. But that doesn't seem to be true, especially after folks packed the Kirby Center to hear and speak with the wife o presidential hopeful Bill Clinton. Where are the Bush people? Barbara Bush came to Wilkes-Barre, to a Catholic high school. Was this campaign strategy trying to tell us something? There are many religious denominations in our valley. One presumes that no one in the Republican party campaign though hard enough to consider this fact. You all have read, seen, or heard about the issues and th facts. Now it's your turn. Take that step and go out on Tuesday t vote, it won't hurt, it can only help our ailing country, state an city. The choice is yours, let your voice be heard. by Al Mueller That special time of year is once again upon us-election day, the one day of the when people stay sober just long enough to elect someone who is going to drive themto · for the next four years (or, so it seems). For the last few weeks, students and faculty have to suffer through a period of intense propaganda. Unfortunately, the supporters of the clowns vying for the Oval Office refuse to admit that this election is a three-ring circus and regardless of the outcome, the average American voter is going to be taken for a ride. It is · that business is one of the main issues of the campaign, for that is exactly what the candidates are giving the American people. George Bush, our current President, is about as beneficial to the nation's economy a mouse is to a cheese factory. Four years ago, he promised us a good economy, a strong sy of education, a better environment and an end to the Communist threat. He delivered big one of those promises; unfortunately, the crumbling of the Soviet Union was well unde during the Reagan years, and it just happened that the whole thing finally collapsed du· ush's watch. Then there's Quayle, the champion of the right wing. However, let's not forget about the god of the fringe faction of Ca pin Hall, Bill Clio As Pat Buchanan said, "Bill Clinton's foreign policy experience amounts to ordering ap of waffles in the International House of Pancakes." Unfortunately, Clinton has more fo · policy experience than that - yes, let us not forget that he learned how not to smoke aj · while he was in England. It also seems that Paul Tsongas was right about Clinton when called him a "pander bear," for I haven't seen any one individual take so many stands onas· issue since I attended the last Administration Town Meeting in Stark 101. Furthermore, I at his choice for a running mate-Al Gore. In his book, Earth in the Balance, Gore writes what we need is a "wrenching transformation of society" in a state where environ concerns are ''the central organizing principle of our civilization" - NOT! Then, just when you thought it was safe to go back in the political waters, here co Ross Perot. While his ideas for fixing the nation's economy constitute the most soundfi policy enunciated in an election since Bruce Babbit ran in 1988, Perot doesn't have character or the stature of a President. Moreover, if something went wrong on the first day his term, he'd probably go home to Texas, leaving us in the hands of Vice-President Stock What's that? My hearing aid wasn't on. Let's face the facts. None of the candidates in this election have the intelligence n to win votes for free drugs in a crack house. Of course, intelligence is not a major require for the Presidency. All that is required is a good vision for the future. Unfortunately, none he candidates have offered us one. The Democrats are telling us, "We don't know w rong with the United States, but we can fix it." The Republicans are telling us," othing wrong with America, and we can fix that." Finally, Perot's Independents are eciding whether they want to fiddle while Rome burns or burn Rome, then fiddle. Nev ess, should you fail to cast your ballot on Tuesday, you have no right to complain aboutw ozo finally gets elected. So, if nothing else, be nice to the comedians, columnists andsa · · of the United States - get out and vote. This time, it counts!! ~ - - - ~ - - -- · - - - ... - .- - - - - - - .- - - •j !

Nothing could be further from the truth. The study of political science requires in-depth analysis into the workings of government, including, but not limited to, the role of political parties and their function within society. Obviously (or maybe not), this study can be thoroughly undertaken only if a certain amount of clinical detachment is exercised. We learn not to look at an issue from just one point of view, but to see the validity of an argument in encompassing, rather than fractal, terms. I believe that such objectivity was evident on the part of every club member that volunteered to "work" the table. If, as you infer, the table was nothing but an opportunity to foist leftist "propaganda" (your word, not mine) on the student body, why was Mike Fescina, the Republican candidate in the upcoming Congressional election, present? I spoke with Mr. Fescina, and he had no problem with the display or the material offered. In fact, Mr. Fescina complimented us on our commitment to increasing voter turnout for both the Democratic and Republican parties. You correctly note that, in the presidential election, there is another candidate- Mr. Ross Perot-who was not represented in the display. What you failed to discover was that a member of the Political Science Club approached the Perot people and asked for literature to be used in conj unction with the Bush and Clinton material to more properly reflect the race. Our representative was told that nothing was free and that we would have to purchase any items that we wanted to display. To Phat extent this peculiar policy is attributable to Mr. Perot is both unclear and irrelevant. What should be clear is that the purchase of material from any political party or organization, and the subsequent sponsoring of that party or organization, jeopardizes the objectivity and impartiality upon which the study of political science and, therefore, the Political Science Club is based. It seems to me that the editor would do well to remember that journalism involves much detailed exploration in attempting to separate fact from fallacy and supposition from deposition. Think about it, Editor. Paul Krawitz Dear Editor, I do not always find myself in the position of agreeing with the opinions of Al Mueller as expressed in his "The Scent In The Wind" column. However, in the October 15 edition of The Beacon, Al states that any Wilkes marketing effort will have to involve students and faculty - bottom-up and top-down. Right you are, Al!! No individual can "make the University into a marketable product." However, all ofus together can, and will. We start by defining and applauding the wonderful things about Wilkes, identifying and enhancing those processes in need of change and beginning a journey toward selfimprovement. Scott Bodfish and I agreed to help facilitate this first step in integrated marketing because we perceived campus-wide support and potential. Eventually, the marketing team process of"study, plan, do, and evaluate" will become a part or our daily behavior at Wilkes. The celebration of Wilkes, however, can begin right away. It is already a terrific place. Our people (students, faculty, and staff) are competent and nurturing and provide a quality environment. No organization is perfect, and we need to work together on quality evolution and change. Al suggests that students and faculty become involved. I am very pleased to report that students, faculty and staff are involved. A very quiet, no-pressure call for volunteers in the recruitment and retention effort has yielded the following as of October 16: 56 students, 41 faculty members and 50 staff members. Most of these volunteers will be meeting weekly in action teams studying selected processes, recommending changes and enhancements and monitoring outcomes. In addition, students are also working with Barbara King in the Wilkes TODAY initiative. I am proud to be a member of the Wilkes campus community. Scott and I invite all members of the Wilkes community to become involved in the recruitment and retention effort .. Just call us at Extension 4006, or drop by W eckesser Hall. We value your input and effort. Thank you, Al, for the additional call to become involved. Anne Heineman Batory Faculty, Marketing Dear Editor: The0ctober21 issueofThe Beaco,1 contained an editorial concerning the Political Science Club· s information table in the SLC [Stark Learning Center] lobby on October 20. You claimed that by distributing information on only two of the three major Presidential candidates, the club, of which I am president, showed either neglect or bias. While it is true that club members obtained Bush and Clinton literature, it is not true that "someont. forgot to tell them about the Independent ticket and multi-billionaire candidate Ross Perot." We are well aware of Ross Perot's candidacy. Nor do we have any bias against Ross Perot. We set up the table so that students could learn more about the candidates, all three! Before we organized our information table, a club member visited the local Clinton, Bush, and Perot headquarters. The Bush office provided free promotional material and representatives to work at the club's table, as did the Clinton office. Perot officials informed the club's representative that the office charged a fee for every button, bumper sticker, and booklet. Since the other offices asked for no money, we saw no reason to have to pay for Perot propaganda. We explained the situation to anyone who approached the table to ask why Perot was not represented. Had you asked someone at the table, you would have discovered the reason for the absence of Perot material. The club as a whole has no political preference. Individual members, however, may support whomever they choose. In your editorial you state that "[t]he young women and mq representing the club had all defi. nitely made up their minds about who their choice was." You also imply that the young women and men had allmadethesamechoice. Mostmembers have decided for whom they will vote, but all members do not support the same candidate. The club includes several supporters from the Perot, Clinton, and Bush camps, some who have yet to choose, and even one Libertarian supporter. When the Presidential and Vice Presidential debates were televised, club members met in Conyngham Student Center's basement to watch the debates together and have a discussion afterwards. We invited the public to join us. Local television and newspaper reporters attended our meeting and interviewed us, asking each of us whom we support. Had anyone from The Beacon joined us, you would realize the diversity of opinion within the club. Since you are so upset that we did not represent Ross Perot at our table, I offer to make amends. The Political Science Club will gladly set up another table, including Perot representation, as long as you provide the necessary Perot materials. Before you accept my offer, let me warn you that the purchase of Perot propaganda will require a substantial budget. So if you can afford it, then by all means, acquire the material. We will eagerly distribute whatever you can produce. Ann Marie O'Donnell Political Science Club President Dear Editor: As a faculty member at Wilkes, I read with care the letter in the October 15 issue of The Beacon, regarding an instructorofMth 101 (Fundamentals of Mathematics I). As chairman of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department, I shall look into the situation, trying to ensure fair treatment of both faculty and students involved. Quality of instruction is of primary importance in the department. Students enrolled in any mathematics or computer science course who perceive they are being mistreated should speak with the instructor; if a satisfactory resolution cannot be reached, they are invited to express their concerns, either directly or Wough their academic advisors, to meortoDr.Nejib,DeanoftheSchool ofScienceandEngineering. Weshall certainly make every effort to handle such concerns with compassion and fairness. Sincerely, Louise M. Berard, Chairman, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Dear Editor, This is in response to the recent (October 8) The Beacon editorial concerning student "apathy" at Wilkes University. You state that "no one cares" about participation in clubs, organizations, and activities here. First of all, we know that such participation could provide positive experiences for students, but don't offend those students who are already members of the various clubs and organizations by saying, "You don't care." Secondly, there are students, I'm• sure, who aren't involved in many activities, if any at all, but they may have valid reasons for this. Time is a crucial factor. At the beginning of this semester, I pondered the possibilities of joining certain interesting clubs (yes-even The Beacon), and I still want to, but I and some others simply DON'T HA VE ENOUGH TIME to do so. The academic workload is very heavy at times, concerned. Thirdly, your re a club or organization tered in asking the qu · believe that you will ment upon graduation, ticipating in any activilis college career?" Is this join clubs?

Both teams came into the contest with a 3-3 record. The win for the Colonels gave 1 the team a winning record for the 1992 season. On the Colonels' second possession of the game, Boo Perry connected with Chris Ghignone on a 47 yard pass play to the Vikings' 14 yard line. Jason Smith then put the Colonels on the board first, running seven yards for the touchdown. Joel O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, giving the Colonels a 7-0 lead. The Vikings came back with a no-huddle offense on their next possession. Colonels' defensive end Larry Trakes burst through the line for a quarterback sack for a loss of 17 yards. The Colonels began to drive again when Perry found Steve Endres on 14 and 13 yard passes. With nine seconds left in the first quarter, O'Donnell booted a 25 yard field goal, increasing the Colonels' lead to 10-0. Upsala answered back early in the second quarter, utilizing their run-and-shoot offense and completing passes of 24 and 28 yards. The Vikings found the end zone on a 12 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Wilkes' lead to 106. The point after attempt was a fake, but the two-point pass was incomplete, leaving the score 10-6. The Colonels lost the ball on their next possession, but the Wilkes' defense stood their ground against the Viking drive. Colonel Jason Feese sacked the Vikings' quarterback for a loss of six yards. Colonels' linebacker John Quinn nearly picked off a Viking pass on a third and 13 play. The Colonels took over on downs after Quinn jammed up the middle on fourth and one for the Vikings. The Colonels ran 15 plays on their next possession, driving down the field on_ce again. Perry connected with Endres on a 36 yard · touchdown pass. O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, increasing the Colonels' lead to 17-6. Upsala answered right back with a 52 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Colonels' lead to 17-12. The two-point pass was complete, closing the score to 17-14 with 4:16 remaining in the first half. Wilkes' running backs Larry Yudiski and Carmen Zullo checked into the offense after Jason Smith left the game due to an injury. Yudiski ran for nine yards on the Colonels' next possession, gaining a first down. Zullo ran 13 yards for another Colonels' first down. With 56 seconds left in the half, Zullo ran nine yards for the Wilkes touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt gave the Colonels a 24-14 lead going into the break. The Vikings dug themselves a hole to start the second half. On the kickoff, Upsala was penalized, giving them first and 25 on their own 15. Colonels' defensive back Ben McKeown intercepted a Vikings' pass, giving t~e Colonels the ball on the Vikings' 15 yard line. However, a Perry pass was intercepted on the five yard line, giving the Vikings the ball back. The Vikings moved the ball quickly late in the third quarter. Upsala scored on a 31 yard touchdown pass, cutting the Colonels' lead to 24-20. Colonels' defensive lineman Chris Carr sacked the quarterback on an attempted two-point conversion play. The Colonels used a 15 play, 80 yard drive in the fourth quarter to run down the clock. Zullo capped off the drive with a 10 yard touchdown run, increasing the Colonels' lead to 30-20. O'Donnell's point after was good, making the score 3120. Zullo's two touchdowns and rushing efforts earned him player-of-the-game honors. Zullo rushed for over 100 yards in the game behind Yukiski's blocking. "Larry Yudiski has done a great job blocking all year. He blocks as well as any fullback. He's an unsung hero," said head coach Joe DeMelfi. The Colonels plays, controlling most of the game. "Our offense job moving the Carr. "Our offensive well. Our rush' controlled the ball DeMelfi.

Now, some two weeks later, the Ladies are 10-8. After ending the season with four straight losses, NCAA play-off chances have been forgotten and the Lady Colonels are hoping that the ECAC selection committee has it in their heart to grant them a play-off bid. Last Saturday, Wilkes was once again on the road and they were handed a 5-U defeat by the Lady Blue Jays of Elizabethtown College. Elizabethtown's first score came at 11 :49 in the first half when a weak shot that fell short of the goal line was not cleared and an E-town forward followed it up. The Lady Blue Jays scored again, this time off of a corner play to take a 2-0 advantage into halftime. The second half went much like the first as the Etown defense turned back a number of strong offensive attacks by Wilkes. This caused frustration to build in the Lady Colonels. "It seemed as if we would dominate for minutes at a time and when Elizabethtown got possession they made scoring against us look easy," said coach Addy Malatesta. E-town scored three more times in the second half to secure the victory. Malatesta believed that the Lady Colonels hung tough, but the ball j ust didn't bounce their way. "Although we never seemed to be out of the game territorially, we were unable to capitalize on scoring opportunities that we normally finish off with a goal," said coach Malatesta. The Lady Colonels will be awaiting the ECAC decision to be announced on November 2. However, disregarding whether they make the playoffs or not, the team should be extremely proud of their performance this year, and with everyone back for the ~ - - - - -- - - -- - - - -- - - 1993 campaign, there is no op omore ai ac armen u telling how far this team can Massachusetts rushed for two touc go. 100 yards. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

(See Debate, Page 3) Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld lectured on Thursday, October 15 on the topic "Pathophysiology of Gastrointestinal Hypersectretory States: Parting the Veil of Mystery." While many believe that stomach ulcers are caused by too much acid being present in the stomach, Rosenfeld' s presentation refuted this long-standing belief. Rosenfeld began the lecture by saying too much acid is too simplistic a reason for a gastric ulcer, also known as a stomach ulcer. Instead, Rosenfeld believes that one or more of the protective mechanisms of the stomach must fail for a gastric ulcer to appear. "Most people who have stomach ulcers have less than normal amounts of acid, while people who have ulcers of the intestine, also known as duodenal ulcers, have too much acid," stated Rosenfeld. The protective mechanisms of the stomach include the cells Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld that line the stomach, and their ability to be renewed on a periodic basis, the presence of a coat of mucus which covers the cells of the stomach, the neutralizing effect that calcium bicarbonate has on stomach acid, the fact that the PH number near the stomach wall is seven, and the excellent blood flow found in the stomach. In addition to those mechanisms, there is another, more important mechanism. This mechanism is the parietal cell receptors which can reduce the acid secretion of the stomach. According to Rosenfeld, some people's receptors do not work. These people take a drug called Tagament which allows acid reduction and, in tum, healing of the ulcer. Rosenfeld also said that a tumor of the pancreas causes too much acid to be secreted. "This has a trophic effect causing a duodenal ulcer, but never a gastric ulcer," commented Rosenfeld backing up his claim that too much stomach acid does not cause a gastric ulcer. Rosenfeld briefly touched on the role of science educator interaction. He suggested that university professors help the high school science teachers by presenting them with current knowledge. Rosenfeld went on to say, "We have a responsibility to deal with others, the more we help, the more we help with the next generation." �OCTOBER PAGE2 s GOING 0 N•.• tresse out. ry t e midweek meditation, Wednesdays at 4:30 p.m. on the River Commons across from SLC.

Is it because the television and radio stations, as well as the newspapers, have given the debates a great deal of coverage? Some would assume that this is true. On Tuesday, the Political Science Club had a table set up in the SLC lobby demonstrating their effort to promote the importance of our right to vote. The young women and men representing the club had all definitely made up their minds about who their choice was. They all said they had Bush propaganda on the table so that they would be bipartisan, but someone forgot to tell them about the Independent ticket and the multi-billionaire candidate Ross Perot. There is a tripartisan category, but it was learned that this category is only for three seperate political parties. Being an independent is not akin to party membership. Since Perot is a significant candidate in the presidential race isn't his propaganda warranted to be placed on the table. Think about it, Political Science Club. More on the elections next week. One way that students are able to find a modicum of freedom from the general apathy of Wilkes' campus is to engage in extra-curricular activities. Fortunately, the clubs and organizations on campus are beginning to recognize the problem of widespread indifference and are reacting accordingly. Clubs are forming in new ways with new visions to reflect the desire to rid the campus of its lethargy. In fact, changes are coming so quickly that I must endanger my conservative stature and applaud the efforts of two clubs in particular. The first club that deserves recognition is the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Association. According to one member, its goals are "to support liberty and to end isolationism." According to an article published earlier this year, its mission is to promote understanding and provide a support network. It seems that this type of attitude is desperately needed. The incident with the camcorder in the spring of 1991 was so heinous a crime against the rights of privacy that it deserves nothing but condemnation. In a society that professes to be in favor ofindividualfreedomandlibertyofconscience, it seems appalling that we cannot find the decency in ourselves to reach out to these people and accept them as they are. They are not lepers to be avoided, but human beings to be included in society. While I am not, nor ever have been, homosexual, I can sympathize with these people. After all, it's not always easy to stand up for your beliefs, especially when they go against the grain. The second club that deserves credit is thenewly-formed,andstillunofficial,Clubfor Animal Rights, Vegetarianism, and the Envi- ronment. In a meeting last Thursday, defined their mission as being one of educati community service, and volunteerism. Dr. Henry Jacoby said, "We're not try' to force ideas on anybody. We're not setting conditions to be in this club. Any way that y can help with these issues-that's what we' looking for. But, the bottom line is, we doo anyone to feel uncomfortable about th· lifestyles." Dr. Linda Paul echoed Jacoby's c cerns, adding, "Every little bit helps," andshe' right on the money. Every time people get together to disc issues, new ideas are born. It was through brainstorming session that Thurgood Mars came up with the defense that allowed Brown Board of Education to become a reality. knows?

However, must give them a chance. Everyone deserves least that much. In this era of repression, more peo need to stand up and be counted.

It has always been my policyto li to opposing views and welcome them. Unfo nately, it seems I'm writing for the wrong pa I do not support the attitude of the editor, automatically dismissing something that doe fit with her ideology or culture. Instead, support the ideology of these groups, one openness and education.

In the first act, the audience witnesses an eleventh hour rehersal of Nothing On, fraught with technical difficulties and other various mishaps. However, the true comedy occurs when the audience learns of the personal lives of the cast of Nothing On. In Act II, the audience is treated to a display of the quarrels between cast members, involving inti- mate relationships and cacti, among other painful stimuli. These entanglements lead to a de·bacle of a play, which the audience witnesses from a rather unique vantage point. In the third act, the audience sees the results of the inattentive cast. Confusion reigns, and Brooke Ashton (played by Billi Jo Martin), stressed to the limit, can do no more than recite her lines verbatim, despite the fact that the Dave LeBahn, Jim Evans, and Brent Dilkes all show up to play the part the robber adding to the already confused scene. play is falling apart around her. Meanwhile, three burglars (played by Brent Dilkes, James Evans, and Dave LeBahn) appear when one is quite sufficient. Adding to the confusion were defective props and props appearing where they shouldn't have been, thus proving the fact that practice doesn't make perfect. Despite the fact that Nothing On was a complete flop, Noises Offwas a rollicking sue- cess.

Denise Warner is a senior at King's College majoring in Communications. She began singing with her brothers and now teaches private piano lessons. Her favorite verse is Psalm 42: 1 which says "As the deer pants for streams of water so my soul pants for you, 0 God." Mike Warner was a student at Wilkes University for one and a half years. He now attends LCCC and is known for having played with the hit group SYNCH in "Where are you now?" He left SYNCH to sing for Take Your Stand in 1991. His favorite verse, Matthew 16:26 says, "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet loses his soul?" When asked for advice he would give to Wilkes students, he replied, "I challenge you with all my heart to live for Jesus. Are you fake or are you a real Christian here at Wilkes University?" Next, Two Hearts exploded on the stage with "Celebrate New Life," from their latest release "Stand Your Ground." They also sang "Holy Fire," "Miracles," "Hold On Me," "PromisMe Tonight," "Are You Ready," and "Heaven Help Me." The group is composed of Carrie and Mike Hodge who have been married for three and a half years. T he couple's songs are a testimony of how God brought them through their tough trials. It wasn ' t always easy for the couple. According to Carrie, who has been singing since she was nine, the first year of their marriage was "like having PMS for a straight year." But their song "Miracles," often played at weddings, displays God's power. "I believe in miracles/ dreams come true/ my prayers were answered/ when I found you./ Made for each other/ when God made us/ I thank heaven up above/ for the miracle of us." Mike Hodge is an accomplished guitarist from San Bernardino. He has played with Margaret Becker and Shuckacon. Carrie grew up in Demoines, Iowa. She started singing professionaly when she was eight years old. She has sung with Rowan and Martin, George Burns, and Liborachi. Carrie appeared on The Tonight Show three times at the age of ten. She also sang with Carrie McDowell in "Uh Uh No No Casual Sex," which was a hit video appearing on VH-1. Mike Hodge's advises, "Don't be afraid to go against the flow. The 90's is not a time to be wishy-washy. Do what it takes." Hodge quotes 1st John 5:21 "Dear children keep yourself from idols." These were two groups who knew their purpose in life: to bring glory to God and lift up the name of Jesus Christ. �PAGE6 OCTOBER 21, 1992 Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: Last week the Wilkes University community hosted VISION' s homeless shelter in Denison Hall. This provided students with a unique opportunity to better understand the plight of the homeless by directly interacting with those struggling to reach a rung of the ladder that most of us take for granted. Student volunteers provided meals and shelter to approximately thirty people per night during the week of October 5-12. The Inter-Residence Hall Council, Commuter Council, and Off-Campus Council also contributed $200 from an earlier fund raiser to support future VISION efforts. The student groups who volunteered their time found the stereotypical image of the homeless as being park bench winos quickly shattered. Instead, students interacted with people who, through unfortunate circumstances, found themselves struggling near the bottom of the agenda of society's growing list of problems. Those at the shelter, by and large, continue to have dreams and goals and have not surrendered to the adversity of their current situation. For every person served by the shelter there was a unique story detailing the circumstances of his/her being homeless. I'm sure in some cases truths were stretched and details left out, but that did not seem to matter much. One thing missing from the stories, however, was bitterness and blame of others for their situations, instead focus was on the more immediate concern of moving beyond the dependence of the shelter. Several students who volunteered during the week came away from the experience with a sense of fulfillment and a greater understanding of the homeless issue. Hopefully, this will result in lasting commitment to community service involvement now and beyond the college years. I want to formally thank all of those who volunteered including the project's sponsors-the Inter-Residence Hall Council, Commuter Council, Student Community Service Council, OffCampus Council, Men's and Women's Basketball Team, Dr. Capin's Accounting 251 class, Circle K, Student Government, Inter-Faith Fellowship, Wayne McDonnell, Ned Smith, Kristy Hallam, and the two hundred students who gave up a meal to feed those at the shelter. Special thanks to Karen Gerlach who spent countless hours organizing, coordinating, and implementing the project. Finally, I am very appreciative of the efforts of American Building Maintenance (ABM) in getting Denison Hall in shape, and Morrison's Custom Management for the food preparation. In closing, I would like to challenge those students who have not had a volunteer experience to get involved in the many opportunities available on our campus and in the community. The perfect opportunity will be on November 7 when the Student Community Service Council presents "Into the Streets," an all day program of service activities addressing several of today's most pressing issues. The VISION shelter will be on campus again during the spring semester. Get involved and experience the good feeling of assisting those who need our help. Mark Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs Dear Editor: I am writing in response to Melanie O'Donnell's letter that criticized the Commu First of all, I feel that she should have checked her facts before submitting her letter since inaccurate.

The point system was put into effect years ago after commuters about the lottery system. As for the former president, I would like to know where Me idea that she was out of town when parking permits were being given out. (The park' were at our past president's house.)

The commuters given a chance to voice their opinions about the Commuter Council and the parking general at the parking forum that was held on September 10, 1992. This forum was well yet only one student was in attendance. Once again, I would like to state that the parking permits are given out as fairly as emphasize this fact, I would personally like to invite Melanie to serve on this year committee which will be meeting over intercession to work on the spring permits.

"The fumble put our defense in a bad position," said Perry. The Colonels received the opening kickoff of the second half, driving 84 yards on 18 plays. Wilkes capped off the drive with a Perry pass to Dan McClave for the 10 yard touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt was successful, giving the Colonels a 10-7 advantage. The Colonels' defense forced a Delaware Valley fumble on the Aggies' 25 yard line. Wilkes recovered the fumble. Four plays later, Jason Smith found the end zone on a 10 yard run for the Colonels' touchdown. O'Donnell's point after attempt was again good, increasing the lead to 17-7. Delaware Valley scored again on a nine play, 80 yard drive which set up a nine yard . touchdown run by the Aggies' quarterback. The two point pass was blocked by defenseman Aaron Wilk, leaving the score at 17-13. The Colonels' defense denied an Aggies' comeback with 57 seconds left in the game. Defensive back Ben McKeown said, "The offensive line helped the defense out a lot. They gave us a rest by controlling the ball the whole game. Everyone played their role well." Coach DeMelfi added, "We had possession of the ball 38 out of 60 minutes. Our defense was only .on the field for six plays in the third quarter." Wilkes takes on Upsala College at the Lackawanna County Stadium in Moosic, PA this Saturday at 1:00 p.m. "They're big and quick. We have to be ready to play," said coach DeMelfi. McKeown commented, "Upsala likes to use a lot of wide outs and the quarterback likes to scramble. It should be an exciting game." The Colonels have made some impressive accomplishments in the Pile up in center of the field meantime. The offensive line is providing the Colonels' quarterbacks with great pass protection, in addition to creating huge gaps for the running backs to run through. The big Colonels' defense is holding some of the top teams in the MAC to minimal scoring and forcing crucial turnovers.

The homecoming, unfortunately, was disappointing . The Lady Colonels lost to Upsala in three straight matches. This marked the third straight loss for the Lady Colonels. The losing streak continued for the Lady Colonels with two disappointing losses to King's and Susquehanna. The losing streak came to an end with a big MAC win over Delaware, 15-9, 15-10, and 15-8. In the win, Wendy O'Connor lead the team with 13 kills and Mary Jo Moses added 14 service points. Bad luck struck once again when the Lady Colonels dropped their next two games at Lebanon Valley and Franklin and Marshall. The Lady Colonels then traveled to Bloomsburg where they defeated the Lady Huskies in straight games. In the victory, O'Connor once again lead the attack for the Lady Colonels with 18 kills. Up next for the Lady Colonels was FDU-Madison. The Lady Colonels walked away with another victory, this time lead by Sue Ketner with 10 service points. Hartwick then stunned the Lady Colonels in a tough three game match. . In the loss Moses had 12 service points and Ketner added eight kills. The team regained their composure by blowing out Marywood and then Misericordia. In the victories, Jodi Depue came up big with 18 service points and four kills. Since their earlier losing streak, the Lady Colonels have turned their season around, winning four out of their last five matches. Coach Maria Pizzella feels that team work is the reason for the team's tum around. "Every win is a team effort, by looking at the individual stats you might not believe that, but if we don't play together as a team, we don't win," said Pizzella. With five games left on the schedule, the Lady Colonels are shooting for at least a .500 record. ~ -~ ~.,tA/6''.r.Nl>:,t < . . , .

On behalf of the entire sports staff here l:l at The Beacon, many, many cheers. • ************************************************ ! Since last week's word of the day was ] "Congratulations," this week's words of the day are ![ FRIENDSHIP and COMMITTMENT. ;: The same question may be on your mind this week: that ] is, "Why are the words of the day friendship and %committment?" Let me see if I can answer this question for all of you. :t First, these two words go hand-in-hand, or at least that f is the way I see it. . [ If you have a friend, a good friend, you expect many )\ things from that person. Among some of those qualities you fa want are trust, honesty and companionship, and tied into all of those qualities is committment. No matter how you slice ]Ft or dice it, committment will always be a part of those !]qualities or any other qualities you look for in a friend. ):; Second, you know whether the person you call a friend ;[lis committed to you by the way they respond in certain ] situations in which you may find yourself. For example, t;[ look back to last week's column, particularly the part about ]! Art Hoover or "Uncle Art," which ever you prefer. "Uncle i[Art" wa~ an athlete's best friend and helped anyone who n needed him. :m This artic.le brought some happy memories to some } people here at Wilkes that knew him, and it made me sit back \; and look at people in a different way, especially my friends. \\ I am glad that I could bring back those happy memories ]of "Uncle Art" to those that knew him, and I am also glad \ that my eyes were opened about someone like him. One such person that I know I brought a happy thought back to is Coach John Reese. Coach Reese stopped me at : the journalism convention last Friday and told me he enjoyed ;; my article and quickly told me a story about something \ Mr.Hoover did for him many years ago. f Thanks, Coach Reese, for sharing that story with me. It made me see a little piece of this man and·made me want to \f leam more. ii However, I am forunate to have four friends who are !~similar to "Uncle Art," or at least that is the way I see them t( now. /! Two of my "Uncle Arts" are from back home. One of them has graduated and moved into the NBA, and the other \\li s sti11 here and is very important to me. [ For those of you who are not as lucky as Coach Reese or ] me, don't stop looking. There are plenty of "Uncle ]Whoevers" out there, but they are just a little harder to find {(hese days. :; The main point of this week's column is to bring to your [attention the "Uncle Arts" that you have in your life, and, if ;you don't have one, keep looking. To my parents: you guys are more than that, and I do mappreciate it.

Game day weather was the bitter part of the story, but the sweetness came for Coach Phil Wingert and the men's soccer team who won their first MAC NE title. The team's record moved to 7-4-4 after its disappointing 2-2 tie with Division II Bloomsburg in their match on Saturday. Paul Jellen opened up the scoring off a penalty kick in the first half. But, Bloomsburg fired back to tie the match at 1-1 before halftime.

Others can quickly gain access to more information on this troubling issue if so desired. While the results of the vote do not constitute a public decision, the closeness of the national elections (together with the clear difference in candidate positions on this issue) can lend some considerable importance to the results. The organization director is Dr. Alexander B. Gavin. The organization includes experts on a range of policy issues and on research methodology. Funding for the project has been by private investment; no contributions are sought. The organization does not seek public funds and maintains absolute political/ideological neutrality in the referendums. Its goal is to keep referendum publicity and voting costs as low as possible and to cover these costs via proceeds of the vote. In Dr. Galvin's words, "We think this kind of electronic vote is the harbinger of things to come. Political leaders can tally constituent's opinions on many topics using the existing technology. It is less costly than going to the polls and it's easier. We hope everyone who has any interest in this topic will vote."

Integrated Instruction in the Langu·age Arts Reading/Literacy Assessment-John Pikulski of the University of Deleware will present two sessions for teachers interested in literature-based language arts programs. Mr. Pikulski is an author and recognized national consultant in the language arts. The theme for Project LEARN II is "Building Educational Communities: Uniting Forces for the Next Journey." The objectives include: bringing people together to improve student learning though new approaches in teaching, including those provided by new technology; addressing issues of national significance as they pertain to our regional situation; bringing teachers and administrators together to discuss common challenges in teaching; motivating educators and learners and building a working partnership between schools and higher education; promoting a partnership among educators, parents, business, and industry to strengthen education. �The Scent In the Wind Multiculturalism Is Necessary Multiculturalism is not something that "will destroy the United States as we know it," as Beacon columnist Al , Mueller wrote in last weeks issue. Many students on campus have asked me, "Why would I allow something like that to go to print?" The answer to that question is simply it's his own opinion. Mueller has the right to his opinion. However, this newspaper's editor does not and will not endorse or promote the views of any of its writers that have not logically thought out the subject that they have chosen to write about, but, will print it. The reason is every columnist is entitled to his own opinion, because of the First Amendment and it's inclusion of "freedom of speech." The direction that education is taking towards a multicultural curricula is definitely a good one. The children of today, tomorrow, and yesterday need to know the differences that exist among us. Citizens of the United States all are different. Not many of us refer to ourselves as a "true-blue" Americans. We are either an Italian-American, an African-American, a PolishAmerican, an Irish-American; I have yet to hear anyone say that they are just an American. How Mueller can come up with the brilliant deduction that multiculturalism "diverts attention from the real needs of society by exaggerating differences ... " is beyond mine and a great many others comprehension. The history that has been taught to the children has been "white-washed" by the dominant male European-American. it is about time that schools systems across the board are willing to open their classrooms to a multicultural curriculum. The efforts being made in Project LEARN II are long overdue. Malcolm X was quoted as saying, "I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street." What Malcolm said should have been taken to heart by many Americans long ago, but it has just sprung into the minds of many that realizing, understanding and appreciating each other's differences as unique entities in our country is of importance. I have asked myself, and I'm sure many others have asked themselves the same, "Was Al's column in the October 8th issue one of good-will or one of a wolf in sheep's clothing?" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. would have answered this question saying, " Shall?w understanding ~rom_ p~ople of good-will is more frustrating from people of ill-will. Editor's Note: Due to Fall recess, the next issue of The Beacon will be distributed on Wednesday, October 21st. by Al Mueller Over the last several weeks, this column has featured some very controversial topics, and has presented ideas that are definitely not in the mainstream. Many students and faculty members suggested that the columns are a breath of fresh air because they don't follow the same old administration line. If there's anything that can be said about me, and still be printed, it is that I am certainly not a "yes man." It is nonetheless disturbing that the basic idea of the last several columns is not in the mainstream. For the basic idea was: how do we get Wilkes to improve its image? The answer is: we change it. Wilkes has finally placed a competent marketing person in a position to make the University into a marketable product. However, Dr. Ann Batory' s efforts will be in vain unless the faculty members and students pitch in. From what several faculty members have told me, in the 1970's, recruiting at Wilkes was performed by the students. But, look around you know. Wilkes has, simply put, a disgustingly apathetic student body. If it doesn't involve drinking, drugs, sex, sports, or violence, they don't care. While this may not be true in all cases, the majority of students do hold this view, and the image they cast for Wilkes drags the rest of us down with it. Students need to take back theiri If they do, then we won't have any more plaints about people urinating from balco about high withdrawal rates, or about I academic standards, all of which were issues throughout the last few years. On the other hand, the faculty need to grade their image, too. It used to be the case, still is to a large extent, that faculty mem would listen to opposing views. Now, all has changed. Issues on feminism, abortion, 1992 election, and even multiculturalism taboo. In some cases, such basic things as I seems more intuitive are off-limits to deb only wish that we undergraduates have positive knowledge of right and wrong whe make our marks on society. It is not my in however, to suggest that all professors act way, as the majority do not. But, as is the with students, those that do drag down image of all faculty members. What Wilkes needs is a fundamental· overhaul, one that starts at the bottom and top. It is essential that we all do our part in venture, and it is equally essential that we this project now. It's time to stop puttin until tomorrow what we need to do today cause, if this false image continues, there not be many more tomorrows remaining.

This quote is taken from the editorial section of the October 8, 1992 edition of the Beacon, and penned by a "concerned student." If you are so concerned, why did you withhold your name from publication? I am glad this mystery person does not pretend to know how to run a security department, because he/ she does not have a clue! Law enforcement agencies (and for the sake of arguement, I will include campus security departments) cannot just recklessly divulge crucial investigative information (your so-called facts) to please the public; that is carelessly performed by the news media. Police agencies have very valid and logical reasons to withhold certain facts some of which include: their responsibility not to overtly alarm the public; investigative leads (information) which could assist in solving the particular crime, but would hinder their efforts if released; and information which has not been fully developed or substantiated. These are just to name a few. You need to rember that this campus is not and should not be some type of fortress. Also keep in mind that these attackers have just as much access to television, local news publications and yes, even our campus newspaper. You are a fool to think that these individuals cannotjust walk into Stark or anywhere else the Beacon is placed, and pick-up a copy. By releasing everything about these assaults or any crime for that matter could jeopardize investigations. So how about waking up to the real world. Your female classmate who suggested the recruitment of football players to provide security escorts is in the dark as much as you are. I do not deny that the use of large persons such as football players can be an effective visual deterrent, however, it takes more than size in most instances. If you look at the average police officer in this country, he is somewhere around five feet nine inches and 170 pounds. That is roughly the size of the average male according to statistics. An individual's mental and physical conditioning, common sense, and in the case of a police officer, his tactical training are more important than size. Oh yeh, self-esteem, and self-confidence (not to be confused with being egotistical) also help. I admit that I do not know what type of training our campus security receives, but then again, I do not call them for security escorts. Maybe it would be a good idea if you went and found out for yourself before criticizing them and their efforts to safely protect the campus population. And if you are still not satisfied after that, you can go out and hire your own personal bodyguard(s) to make you feel safe just like movie stars do. Bill Boyer Dear Editor: Isn't it time someone called a spade a spade? In response to Al Mueller's "Scent in the Wind" column in The Beacon's premier issue, I would like to point out several discrepancies between the professed "mission" of Commuter Council and the ulterior motives of its members. The biggest misconception is that CC exists to serve the students. Wrong. The point system of assigning parking spots is little more than a disguise of fairness. Commuter Council explicitly states in their policy that "active members" receive spots first (and the fairness of this can be questioned, as in how active can certain freshman be?); what they do not state is that these socalled "active members" then take care of the members by proxy. That is, it is no secret that CC members tell their friends what to write on their parking permit application so that they will have enough "points" to gamer the coveted permit. The current administration of CC, the so called "hope for EE THE ORIGINAL 'PSYCHO' NCUT!THE TV change" (more like a "HA! no change"), is most responsible for the perpetration of this nonsense. Last semester, the spring of my junior year, I was in dire needs of a permit. I worked in an internship 15 hours a week off campus; took 15 credits of classes; worked an on campus job; and was involved in several campus activities. Yet I was denied a permit while underclassmen wiU1 considerably less need enjoyed the convenience of one. I questioned Rebecca Steinberger, former president of the CC and probably the last honest member, for an explanation. She couldn't give me one. Why not you ask? Because CC divided up the permits when they knew she'd be out of town, that's why. Other members assured her, of course, that all was done fairly. Of course, it was done fairly. Behind Rebecca's back and between the wool that CC has pulled over every commuter's eyes. What a revelation- it was done by the "point" system! The administration of this school should seriously consider rebuking the privilege of having students de- · cide who gets a parking permit. Let's face it, the L.A. cops couldn't beat the system this well. The members of Commuter Council are so used to guaranteeing themselves and their friends parking spots that they are out of touch with the real commuter who must race to class after work, hunt for a spot on the street and then hike back four blocks. the rest of the commuter population should take it upon themselves to see that these undeserving permit recipients do find out. Melanie O'Donnell I am writing to you with a heartfelt complaint. I am a female student here at Wilkes who is currently taking Math 101 (Algebra). My complaint is this: the professor instructing the course isn't performing his job adequately in my opinion and in the opinions of other students in his class. The students in this class (including myselO spent approximately 50 dollars on a Finite Mathematics book that we do not use. We rely on the choppy,hard-to-understandnotesand definitions that he gives in class. Therefore, we have nothing to refer back to when in trouble. If we don't understand something, we are told to "see him in his office." Personally, I made an appointment with him and when I arrived, my private conference was attended by three bystanders. Not only did he not offer me any help, but he proceeded to berate and belittle me in front of these strangers saying I was "hopeless," "helpless," and my efforts are "useless." This is completely unfair. I came for help, not insults. We are also constantly told to go to tutors to learn what's going on in class. Nearly all of the students in this class are seeing tutors just to go over the classwork. Is it possible that class periods are no longer adequate for students to learn even the simplest material?

Halloween haunts Kirby Hall again BY JEFF SCHULMAN Beacon Staff Writer Wilkes University's first versity Mixer was held October 11, from 6:30 to 9 The Mixer was held and was sponsored by the Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Association (LGBA) of Wilkes in honor of national "Coming Out Day." This is a day appointed for all people who hide their homosexual preference to come out and be free. According to the LGBA, it was attendedby people representing a blend of different cultures, races, sexual preferences, and various faiths. Everyone let their hair down for a little while and came together for the sole purpose of having fun. It was an evening of dancing, diverse music and food, and an interesting light show. The dance floor was never empty with the different kinds of dancing. A "Halloween Execution" of readings of the macabre and unusual will be held on Friday, October 30, at 8:00 p.m. in the lobby of Kirby Hall. The event was resurrected after the success of last year's reading. English department faculty will present their renditions of spooky stories and poems. Heidi Hojnowski, student coordinator of the event, stated, "The remarkable response last year came as a pleasant surprise to us. With the continued interest of the faculty and students, we hope to make this year's reading even better." The event will last approximately one hour, with refreshments served afterwards. If you would like more information or would like to help, drop by the writing lab in the back of Kirby Hall. �PAGES O CTOBER 15, 1992 Biology lecture scheduled for tonight Faith No More roe The Wilkes University Biology Department will host a lecture by Dr. Leonard Rosenfeld, Department of Physiology Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia, PA.

I was expecting a sound and style similar to that It has been a few years since their last album "Pretty Hate Machine;" I quickly learned that things change over time while listening to "Broken." Many fans were disappointed in this change by the band. Most people feel the industrial band has sold-out. Their once danceable beats have turned to metal beats. I see this happening with many industrial bands nowadays, but I thought that Nine Inch Nails would keep their original ·~ ·• SUPERSU BS the Kirby Center BY ANDY GULDEN Beacon staff writer Fresh off their opening slot on the Tour of the Century (a.k.a. Guns n' Metallica), Faith No More embarked on their first-ever headlining tour. On October 13th, the band hit the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, and hit it with a vengeance. The opening band, Helmet, an up-and-coming industrial metal quartet from New York, played a tight, forty-minute set. Despite their status an newcomers in the hard-rock world, their uncompromising style and consummate musicianship won thecrowdover.

We're confident, and we know we can stop anybody." Endres, who has caught over 100 passes in his career, admitted, "Bad field position hurt us. We have to overcome mental mistakes." End res scored two touchdowns against Lebanon Valley, and recorded 78 yards. McClave, who caught four catches for 57 yards, stated, "I think a lot of people thought we could just show up and win. You just can't do that. This league is very competitive." The Colonels take on Delaware Valley College on the road this Saturday. "They're a goc,d team [Del Val]. They only lost to Susquehanna 25-21. We're expecting a good game," said DeMelfi. "We have to win this one to get back on track. Del Val won't be a pushover," said Endres. Carr added, "They're 14, but we can't take them Sadly to say, the Alumni Race, which took place this past weekend, was not a very big success. Only two Wilkes University alumni showed up for the competition. However, our own cross country coach Tim Tyson ran in the race and captured first place with a time of 27:59. The alumni took the next two spots in the race. They were Ed Eppler and Roger Davis. Eppler came in second with a time of 30:28. Davis followed with 31:37. Coach Tyson said that two of the top Wilkes' cross country team members were unavailable to run in the race, which may have caused a different turnout in the results of the race. The rest of the race slots were filled by the present members of the cross country team. Coming in fourth place was Jim Robinson with a time of 31:51. Rich Bonning was next in fifth with 36:04. Louis Marnell came in sixth with a time of 36:30 and Dave Hines, seventh in 42:38. Tyson noted that he was happy that Robinson and Marnell had improved their times over last week's meet against Albright, Drew. and Kings. Robinson reduced his time by 52 seconds, while Marnell reduced his time by 2:74. When questioned about the upcoming Allentown Invitational, Tyson said, "It will be a competitive race because it is the same course the NCAA championships run on." The NCAA regionals is the next step after the MAC championship. The Allentown Invitational will be held this weekend, Saturday, October 17, at 11:15 a.m. lightly. We match up well against them." Quarterback Perry said, "It will be good to get the win this week so people don't think we're a fluke ." The Colonels are halfway through their season. Injuries have hurt the Colonels. They have lost Bob Bush and Mark :Buss, two key players on defense. : Jason Smith is now the :leading rusher in the Middle .Atlantic Conference. He earned player of the game honors this past week. He also rushed over 100 yards ,for tbe fifth consecutive game. The Colonels have made some mistakes that have hurt them, but they are determined 1 to come out on top for the ' second half of the season.

Last Wednesday, the Lady Colonels started a three game h ome stand greeting , Lycoming College with a 3-2 defeat. All five goals were scored in the first half of play. Lycoming got on the board first when Betty Jacobs found Tammy Babiash at the 25:25 mark. Five minutes later , Kim Kaskel scored on a breakaway to even the score at a goal apiece. Just 14 seconds after Lycoming took the lead again, great ball movement between Justine Nemshick, Kaskel, and Toni Farinella produced the equalizer at 11:49. Farinella scored again when she deflected a long pass from Ali Adamiak past the keeper to record the game winner. Two days later, Wilkes played host to the Lady Greyhounds of Moravian College. Moravian came to Ralston Field ranked number seven in the Pennsylvania region with an impressive 9-2 record. The 1992 field hockey team has reason to smile. At 25: 17 of the first half, Moravian out in front 1-0. Wilk es' keeper Julie Wilkes fired back with a Crawford was whistled for Nemshick goal assisted by "giving direction to an aerial Farinella at 21:55 to tie things ball," according to coach at 1-1. This proved to be the Addy Malatesta and the Lady final goal of the half. Greyhounds were awarded a Time was halted 18 penalty stroke. Tanya Thear minutes into the second half took full advantage and put - when Wilkes' sweeper Angie Polny was hit in the head with a Moravian stick on an errant swing.

The Colonels shutout Delaware Valley 1-0 last Wednesday and managed a 1-1 tie with Moravian on Friday. Junior forward Dave Unzicker believes the team was not expecting the Aggies to be tough competition. "Del Val was a lot tougher than we expected and their team is playing pretty well this season," said Unzicker. "I think we took them a little too lightly. II In both matches, freshman · Russ Hiser scored the only two goals for Wilkes. After this week's performance, Hiser moved into third place on the team in scoring with three goals and six assists. Matt Haney once again had a strong performance in goal for the Colonels. The shutout against Delaware Valley was his fourth of the . season and his twelfth career shutout. On the season, Haney has allowed only eight goals in 1050 minutes giving him a goal agans average of 0. 69. On Tuesday the Colonels had a tough 3-2 loss to Elizabethtown who is ranked fifth in the nation and first in the MAC (Middle Atlantic Conference). According to Unzicker, the team got off to a shaky start. "We didn't start putting things together until late in the first half," said Unzicker. Paul Jellen scored at the 33 :50 mark off an assist from Mike Herb. But, Elizabethtown tied the match at one apiece before the half. Jellen scored again off of Dean Kontometros and Hiser to put Wilkes ahead. Once again the Blue Jays tied the match. Late in the match, Wilkes lost a disputed handball goal which proved to be the decisive spoiler. "In the second half, E-Town dominated and we ended up having to scramble a lot," said Unzicker. Jellen continues to lead the team in scoring with 10 goals and two assists. Herb is second on the team with four goals and two assists. The Colonels next match will be home on Saturday, October 17 against Bloomsburg. Next Tuesday will be the MAC NE showdown with Drew University, but the team is trying to not look ahead. "We want to control our own destiny this season and concentrate on each match," stated Unzicker. If the boaters match with Drew, it the first time in history that the te crowned the champions.

Manager The Riverside Rumble, the lOK National Wheelchair Championship and one of the first wheelchair-only road races, will take place on Sunday, October 11 atnoonin Wilkes-Barre and Kingston and will feature top athletes from around the country.

Do you feel, or even see a need for your input in the Wilkes community? Do you complain about things that go wrong or that don't happen at Wilkes? Do you actively take part in any activity, club, or organization on campus? Do you believe that you will find employment upon graduation, without participating in any activities during your college career? If you answered any of these questions then read en. There is so much apathy on the part of students at Wilkes that it's sickening. I have come to the conclusion that many of you don't realize the importance of extracurricular activities during your years in college. Employers look at college graduates who have displayed multiple talents and abilities while in college. They also look at graduates who have displayed leadership skills. Leadership skills that have been exemplified as an organizer of a club activity, or president of a club, or founder of a club or group, or even participating in your college newspaper. Your college newspaper is the vessel which you have so that your voice can be heard over the entire campus. College newspapers are set up as a tool for students who have an interest in writing, reading, photography, public relations, and even advertising. The college newspaper is looked upon by prospective employers in just about every career field. Students who have participated in the college newspaper circuit are considered to be leaders in their prospective college communities and sometimes are considered positive motivating forces in the working world. The college newspaper participant can take his/ her skills and put them to_ work at any place of business, industry, or company. The benefits of working hard on a college newspaper now will undoubtedly pay off in your immediate future. But, do any of you care. No, I don'! think so. The Beacon staff and editors have continually made efforts to get more students involved with the newspaper, but have any of you come to join the staff. No. We are sure that many students at Wilkes have had experience in journalism while in high school. Have you come out to join the staff. No. The Beacon staff is not an elitist group. We all are students too, just like you. But, who cares.

A seemingly harmless word. Yet, many of the people who spe against it on this campus have been quickly silenced. Why? The answer is simple: if people only hear the other side of the story, multiculturalism on Wilkes' campus would cease to The underlying philosophy of multicultutalism is "that America is not a nation of indivi but a nation of groups, that ethnicity is the defining experience for most Americans, that ties are permanent and indelible, and that division into ethnic communities establishes the structure of American society and the basic meaning of American history." It should be uzerne Courn that this definition does not come from a half-crazed columnist, but from Arthur M.

We really owe a lot of our success to them." After the Moody Blues finished their set, Chicago took the stage. The band, as always, was full of energy and vibrance. Chicago opened up their concert with such favorites as "Color My World," "You're My Inspiration," and "Hard Habit to Break." The whole concert was full of the band's number one hits. Politics even entered into the picture when Chicago's lead singer Jason Scheff encouraged the crowd to "rock the vote." Like many other musicians, he told the crowd that it was important to vote in elections if they wanted to see a change. , The Moody Blues rock their guitars during a solo. The crowd's energy added to the success of the concert Even those who weren't diehard fans of the two groups enjoyed themselves. "I didn't know a lot of their i;ongs, but I thought they were really great," said Cindy Chametski, a senior at Wyoming Valley West High School, after the concert. · Both bands played their hearts out at the concert.

Both of New York City, these guys seemed a little too crude and lewd for my taste. Burke seemed incapable of telling any jokes at all without using the f-word. When not bellowing profanities into the mike, he belittled both women and crippled people. What a guy! His amazing resemblance to the late Elvis Presley was funnier than anything that came out of his mouth. The only comedy (and I use the word loosely) I might have heard that night came from Gary Valentine. His asthma and laughing gas jokes were admittedly good.

R.E.M. puts some changes in their music BY WENDY ZEWE Beacon Staff Writer According to the October 1 edition of Rolling Stone Magazine, R.E.M.'s new LP, Automatic for the People, is a collection of some of their "weirdest songs." Fans of the group should not expect a completely rock-n-roll sound when the album is released on October 6. Automatic of the People changes the emphasis of REM's style. Before, as in the group's OutofTime, the band's sound focused on "shiny, happy melodies." This new album has a more Southern Gothic style to it. "Drive," the first single of the new album, appeared on MTV a few weeks ago. Fans were surprised by the style change, but not as surprised as the band members themselves. Other songs included on this new take by R.E.M. are "Try Not to Breathe," "Ignoreland," and "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight.." While this new album might be a change from what you' re used to, fans don't have to worry that R.E.M. has lost theirtou With Michael Stipe' s bello ing voice and the use of strin this R.E.M. release should go the top of the charts.

Clarinetists Bob Wilber and Kenny Davern will perform their critically-acclaimed Summit Reunion program on Monday, October 19th in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Bob Wilber, who serves as Director of Jazz Studies at Wilkes, began his career in 1947, debuting with the legendary Sidney Bechet. Since that time, he has played with other jazz greats, such as Eddie Condon, Benny Goodman and Bobby Hackett. Joining Bob Wilber is longtime associate and musical soulmate Kenny Davern. Although both of these artists has had a brilliant career independent of one another, many believe they are at their best when I performing together. B ob Wilber and Kenny Davern have a healthy respect for past traditions and are among the finest interpreters of jazz in all of its forms, especially from the ereative early days of the 1920's and 1930's. Wilber and Davern formalized their collaborations and organized Soprano Summit. The first band was assembled for an historic recording session and featured Dick Hyman on piano, Bucky Pizzarelli on guitar, Milt Hinton on bass, and Bobby Rosengarden on drums, along with the leaders on clarinet and soprano saxophone. The band performing at Jazz at Wilkes on October 19th is known as Summit Reunion and maintains generally the same instrumentation as the first band, but with their own style and sound. With Mark Shane on piano and Greg Cohen on bass, Summit Reunion give fresh in- Wright named director of thea terpretations to ageless music. Organized in 1982 under the direction of Bob Wilber, Jass at Wilkes has shown exceptional growth and popularity as a unique jazz venue for Northeastern Pennsylvania and the United States. The 1992-1993 series, supported, in part, by private subscriptions, will feature some of today's finest performers on the jazz horizon. The next performance in the series will feature the Al Grey Sextet on November 30. Tickets are $4 general admission. Wilkes University students will be admitted free with an I.D. card. Senior citizens are asked to make a donation. For reserved seating and more information on Jazz at Wilkes, call the Wilkes University Department of Music, Theatre and Dance at 8314420. Theater-goers at Wilkes University may have noticed a new face running around at the CPA. The face belongs to Brad Wright, the newly-appointed Associate Professor and Director of Theater at Wilkes. Dr. Wright carries on the long tradition of excellence in theater at Wilkes established through the tenures of former faculty members Klaus Holmes, Al Groh, and Michael O'Neill. The theater program at Wilkes has grown significantly in past years. With this growth, Wright hopes to re-evaluate the curriculum and add additional faculty to the program. One of the upcoming projects for Theater majors is the establishment of a Black Box Theater. This will enable the students to generate additional programs and productions in an alternate space and expand the theater season at Wilkes University.

Of course, the inequality in sports exists on a much smaller scale here at Wilkesconsidering all our sports are Division ill except for wrestling. The inequality we mainly deal with is the outside media coverage. Right now Wilkes University's biggest problem with inequality in sports is the fan support How many of you can actually say you have attended a field hockey game this year or have come before halftime of a women's basketball game just to get a seat to see the men play afterwards?. For all of you sports fans, please think about my advice - go out and support the Lady Colonels as well as the Colonels and see what you're missing. And somehow we can do our own part in the battle for equality in sports.

Doesri't something really fun usually go on this weekend? We all know the answers to those questions. The month is October and about the weekend, it's time for Miami to take on Penn State. Well, your absolutely right about the month, but about the weekend, this is Wilkes not Miami or Penn State. It's homecoming weekend here at Wilkes once again and as usual everyone is gearing up for the weekend. Let's talk a little about the homecoming weekend and what should and shouldn't go on. First of all, everyone should have a good time, no a ~reat time. Sec~nd, everyone should, while having a great tu~e, be responsible for their actions. If someone is acting a little too obnoxious, take charge of the situation and help him or her calm down. Third, everyone should go out and support all of our sports teams as they return to action at home after a few weeks of travel. Now for the benefit of those of you who don't yet know the answer to this next question, let me ask will there be any partying going on this weekend? The answer is, to no surprise, YES!!! While at these parties, conversations will take place between old friends and new ones, music will be played, singing will enter the picture at some point, dancing will occur, and possibly some consumption of some kind will be present. Now for those of you out there who went nuts when you read the column about tailgating, don't take a heart attack yet just because the word 'drinking' was mentioned. Nowhere is it said in this column, or for that matter in the tailgating column, that this writer condones drinking. But this is a college and there are college students here. I don't know if you're aware of this, but drinking does take place on not only this campus, but campuses across the country. What this column is about, for those of you who need everything spelled out, is having fu n, but at the same time being responsible. Don't get hurt or hurt someone els~ because you were feeling "pretty good." Once again I say be responsible and have a good time but allow the people around you to enjoy themselves as well. This time it would be appreciated that those of you out there who still can't comprehend what I mean in this column to respond. Respond to me, don't walk around complaining to everyone else. They didn't write this, I did. What I'm trying to say is this time either PUT UP or SHUT UP!!! !!! Oh yes, to those of you who question what I write, let me set you straight. When I write something it is the way I fee l about a partic ular issue, the way I was brought up and certainly, what I believe in my heart. Now if there is any more doubt out there, please feel free to write me a - letter and we'll face of one on one. If you don't choose that way, then BACK OFF!!! To the students, once again have fun, go out and cheer our teams to victory and please be RESPONSIBLE, not only for yourself but, for those around you. Let'_s all have a great time at homecoming and have something to cheer about, not only on the playing field, but about the way we act this weekend. ********************************************** There will be a mandatory meeting Sunday night at 7:00 p.m. in the.Beacon office for the current sports staff and anyone who wishes to join our team.

While the Colonel team beat King's 17-40 and Drew 28-29, they suffered a loss at the hands of Albright 15-50. Coach Tim Tyson felt that even though this was the first home meet, the runners' times were slower than he expected on what he says is a "fast course."

The first half alone, saw Wilkes in Mansfield's defensive third of the field for 22 out of the 35 minutes. Frustration built as the Lady Colonels were held in check and forced to sudden-death overtime. Wilkes made quick work of Mansfield in OT scoring just two minutes into the period. Two key passes led to the goal for Wilkes. Bui fed Nemshick, who then found Kim Kaskel who beat the keeper and gave the Ladies the win. "The pass from Nemshick to Kaskel split the two deep defenders and Kim had the goalkeeper one on one about 12 yards out. One dodge, and the ball was rolling over the goal line.

Last Thursday the Colonels came up short against Millersville and lost 1-0 on a freak goal. Senior Tom Nally believes that the team had trouble putting together a good play. "There were a lot of people th.:.t played well individually, but we didn't play together as a team," said Nally. The entire match was a battle on both sides of the field with goalie Matt Haney saving numerous goal attempts for Wilkes. On Sunday the Colonels regained their team unity against Lycoming and shut out the Warriors 2-0. Both goals came off corner kicks in the first half by Chris Erb. Midway thru the first half Erb set up Nally for his first goal of the season. The defense then took over until Wilkes moved into scoring range. Erb got another cornerkick to set up Mike Herb before the end of the first half. The second half had the Colonel defense controlling Lycoming up and down the field. Nally credited the win to excellent scouting reports by the coaching staff. "We knew they'd go to the corners a lot so we had an edge on them going into the match," said Nally.

Pindzola added that, "sunlight and oxygen help to break these bonds apart."

Keeling, who is currently Director of the Department of Student Health at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, gives most of his lectures to college students. "Students have very good to excellent levels of knowledge, including highly specific information on ways the disease is transmitted and preventative measures," said Keeling. Even though they have the information, "most students do not feel personally vulnerable to HIV, " continued Keeling, "and sexually active students do not, as a rule, regularly and effectively use condoms to prevent infection." Keeling stated we need to "challenge and build community." In order to build community, we must abandon stereotypes, prejudices, and assumptions. The people of the community have to care for and support each other. As Keeling concluded, he said, "Remember them [AIDS patients] and be reminded. Rememberthosewhodied of AIDS.

Principle is an immovable force, founded upon the universal ideas of truth. Therefore, where principle is involved, no compromise can be possible. Likewise, our society rests upon an immovable force that has guided its development by providing stability, and thus, preventing the decay of our most fundamental institutions. That force is womanhood, and it's about time that we noticed. Today, more than ever before, women have the greatest opportunity for gaining cultural power in America; but, in many areas of life, that opportunity continues to be undermined. Therefore, I agree in principle with the basic premise of the Women's Studies Committee, that women have been overlooked, shunted aside, and made into nonbeings for far too long. In the book, De Omnibus Feminis, the Catholic Church questioned whether women were human. A former Surgeon General of the United States, Dr. William Hammond, claimed that decent women should not feel the slightest pleasure in the act of procreation. But, thankfully, those days are where they belong .. .in the past. Or are they? As was said, this author agrees in principle with the idea of Women's Studies, but not in practice, for the courses offered in the new minor are given to fits offeminism. Even as you are reading this passage, feminism is perpetuating the oppression of individual rights by seeking unearned gains through government coercion and force. Some of the more radical feminists argue for the "men are pigs and then you marry one philosophy, that no man is in the least bit interested in women's rights. Others argue that men are not needed in society, that a society ruled by women, in which men are subordinated by law, is the way to go. Is it any wonder, then, that men are afraid, and rebel at every opportunity? Rather than buy into this lunacy, women need to invest their time and interest in an open dialogue. Granted, in some cases, mere words will not produce any results. But, those are isolated cases and are definitely in the minority. As a member of the opposite gender, I can attest to the fact that many men are more than willing to listen to and act upon the demands of women. What most of us want, in general, is a new, single, equal partner relationship that combines sexuality, affectionate friendship, mutual cooperation, productive work, and, most of all, respect for each other's ideas. But, how can this type of society come into existence if women are continually educated in the feminist school of thought by our nation's so-called institutions of higher learning? Society is basically one big relationship. It is a two-way street, requiring each gender to give 100% of itself toward helping the other adjust to the violent upheavals of the social structure. But, if Women's Studies injects our future leaders with the cancer of feminist ideology, then none of us will benefit from the positive gains made by the women's movement in the last few decades. What we need is an anti-feminist/pro-woman attitude that transcends gender barriers, an attitude of unconditional support for each other, regardless of gender. The only criteria that we should use in evaluating who gets that support should rest on the basic principles of ethics. In short, we need to amend that ola saying, "Behind every good man is a good woman," before thefoundation of our society finally gives way. ter has lit Broadway to seventy Theatreof 1 its perfon "Anythinf week-end. performanc many ways The ocean liner York to Lo ing era of ti The the produc SteveHartn left no roor develop th( s1 IN JUST ON STUDENTS or ORGANIZATIONS Promote our Florida Spring Break packages.

The story concerns an liner sailing from New to London in the glitterera of the 1930' s. The main problem with production comes from Hartman whose direction flesh and blood people. As for performances, Nancy Brown lent her wonderful singing voice to the role of nightclub singer Reno Sweeny, and Little Theatre's general manager, Judith Fried, found a role made to order in the form of Hope's mother, Mrs. Harcourt. Theatre veteran Tom Rogish was delightful as Sir Evelyn Oakleich, especially in his scenes with Mrs. Brown. Little Theatre can also be thankful for the talents of Harry and Kay McClintuck. Harry's portrayal of Wall Street boss E.J. Whitney was one of the truly well-developed characterizations in the show. Kay's acting and singing in the role of gangster's moll Bonnie was some of the show's best. Although relatively" new to local stages, Keith Edwards stole many scenes as: Moonface Martin, a gangster disguised as a minister. On the downside were performances from John Owen Kennedy and Beth Koslosky as the love interests Billy and Hope. Kennedy possesses a fine singing voice, but his acting needs some more fine tuning. Koslosky 's inexperience on stage showed as she seemed towanderthroughherrolewithout a clue as to how a heiress should act. With a little more effort and care, Director Hartman could have had himself a hit instead of just making the boat. PAGES (Concert-Cont. from page 1 ) - - - - - - - - - Connecting their music and their fans are one of the things that Chicago's lead vocalist, Jason Scheff, loves the most about being a musician. Scheff commented about the importance of" .. .being able to touch someone's life through music. It gives you a wonderful feeling when a fan comes to you and tells you that a song touched his life." Both bands agree there are no "short- cuts" in becoming a musician. "It's always better to go the few extra yards," says Moody Blues' bassist Ludge. He also added, "in the rock and roll world life can get lonely,especiallywhenyou're on the road, but you'll always have a friend as long as you have music." Chicago and the Moody Blues plan on releasing new albums next year. The Moody Blues just recorded a concert with the Chicago Symphony. The concert will be released as a live album and will also be released on home video. This album will hit the shelves in February. After this tour, Chicago will hit the recording studios and begin recording their twenty-second album "Chicago Twenty-2". There is no release date on the album at this time.

Cheers & Jeers From Bob Simmons Stereotyping has been around since the beginning of time, and unfortunately, has gotten worse. No matter what your skin color, people will find a category to place you in, and you may never get out. Look at athletes, or even better, those who look like athletes. If a person is taller than the average person, people automatically assume that he or she is a basketball player. If the person is of average height and well-built he may be categorized as a football player or a wrestler, when, in fact, the person may not play a sport at all. Let's say your judgement of the person's athletic ability is right on target. What about the way you view athletes in the classroom? The first comment you hear about an athlete is either that they are "dumb jocks" or "the only reason they're here is because they can play a sport." Well I can tell you that athletes have to take the same classes that everyone else does, and we have to maintain a 2.0 grade point average with at least 12 credits a semester in order to play. Now that we got that part of stereotyping out of the way, let's talk about BLACKS and WHITES. The most common stereotype is that while black athletes can run faster and jump higher than white athletes, white athletes are smarter than black athletes. WRONG!!! It's time that we wake up and realize that it doesn't matter what color your skin is. That's not what makes you a better athlete, or for that matter, a better human being. It is what is inside the person that matters. There is so much hate in this world that we don't need stupidness like this to enter our campus, and put us at odds with one another. Since the incidents that have taken place on or around Wilkes, there has been much talk about the increase in racial tension among students. In last week's edition of the paper, there were several articles which dealt with some of our black student's feelings. You may be right in your judgement that some students are now afraid of you or your being looked at in a different way. The people who are doing this to you are idiots or maybe not used to being around a black person. To those students you can say that your sorry for their narrow-mindedness or their pure stupidity. However, what you are saying is that the white students are stereotyping, but you are also stereotyping them when you say things like what was printed last week. I'm not sure there is a way to solve the problem of stereotyping, but we can try to put an end to it here at Wilkes and if we can do that, then the whole world may wake up and realize that if a bunch of kids did it , they can do it too. Let's make an effort to get along with each other before it's to late. No cheers, no jeers until we all grow up and realize that we are all the same,no matter what our skin color is, and like it or not we have to live together. Colonels football is for real BY BILL PHILLIPS Beacon Staff Writer The Colonels gave Susquehanna a scare last Saturday, only losing by a score of 7-6. Susquehanna is ranked fifth in the nation. Both the Colonels and Susquehanna were undefeated going into the contest. The Colonels may have lost the game, but they won the respect of the whole . league. "It was a disappointing loss, but we can't let it pull us down. We must continue to play well," commented coach Joe DeMelfi. Wilkes and the Crusaders played to a scoreless first half. Gene Conselyea scored on a two yard pass from Boo Perry to take a 6-0 lead. The point after attempt was blocked. Susquehanna scored on the next drive to tie the score at 66. The point after attempt made the score 7-6. Both teams had chances to add to their point totals. A Wilkes field goal attempt to take the lead was blocked. Ben McKeown made a touchdown saving tackle on the Colonels five yard line. On fourth down and goal, Mckeown stopped a quarter back sweep that would have given the Crusaders the lead. "Defensively it was a great game," said coach DeMelfi. Mark Buss earned ECAC co-player of the week honors for his defensive play. "Our goal line stands gave us momentum. They're supposed to be a big, physical team, but we stood toe to toe with them and stopped them," added McKeown. ~ "Vfe stepped it up on the goal line and stuck them pretty good.

We must play them tough. We will see what kind of character we have coming off of a tough loss. There is no doubt in my mind Team Improvement BY NICOLE SIMMONS Beacon Staff Writer Despite the weather this past Saturday, the cross country team participated in the Susquehanna Invitational, where they finished seventh out of ten teams. "We're improving as the weeks go by," said coach Tim Tyson. Once again, sophomore Jeff Crahalla crossed the finish line first for the Colonels. Crahalla's time was 30: 12 which allowed him to take thirty-sixth place out of a field of seventy-nine runners. Brad Smith moved up a notch to place second this week with a time of 32:16 after a third place showing last week in Doylestown. The remaining barriers for the Colonels were Jim Robinson, 32:36, Rich Bonning 33:01, and Louis Marnell, 39:09. For the Lady Colonels, Sheila Bubba crossed the line first, giving her fourty-ninth place out of seventy, with a time of 25:07.

"It's time to go back to work, it's time to have some fun," Johnson said. "I think the positives outweigh the risks. That's not saying there are no risks, because life itself is a risk. But being there, I won't be worried about that. If I was concerned about that, I'd still be retired." The mood this time was decidedly different from the retirement announcement 327 days ago. This time, Johnson frequently laughed and joked with his wife and reporters, flashing his famous trademark smile. "This is a lot more relaxed ... better," said Johnson, showing the bulk of an added 15 pounds he gained through rigorous weight-training. "It was much tougher then because I was having to say I !goodbye." I Johnson's wife, Cookie, said she was behind his decision to return "totally ... 100 percent." Since Johnson announced his retirement, there had been a steady stream of speculation and controversy about his future, mixed with his triumphant appearances in the NBA All-Star Game in February and the Olympics this summer. It was that success and the lack of additional medical problems that convinced Johnson to return. .

And with due respect. Since last week, the Colonels have improved their record to 5-2-1 and more importantly 3-0-1 in the MAC. On Saturday , senior Paul Jellen lead the Colonels into one of their toughest conference battles against FDU-Madison by scoring three of Wilkes' five goals en ro ute to a 5-1 victory. Mike Herb scored two goals as well for the blue and gold. Matt Haney and Chris Mervine spent time in goal for the Colonels. "It was an impressive win over FDU ," said Wingert. "We just have to take our momentum (with us) in order to compete with the upper level of competition we're going to face." And the Colonels did just that on Monday when they stomped cross-town rival King's off Ralston Field with a 4-1 victory. Once again it was Jellen, the all-time leading scorer at Wilkes, who lead the offensive attack scoring all four goals. Mike Herb set up Jellen early in the first half for the easy goal. Just a few minutes later Jellen received a penalty kick that drove home the •point that the Colonels were in control. The second half was filled with just as much intensity with Russ Hiser getting the assist off of Jellen's third goal. The fourth and final goal came off anoth er penalty shot for Jellen. After this week's play, Jellen has compiled ten goals on the season and an overall Colonel of the W~ek Today Wilkes travels to meet with Millersville University, a powerful Division II threat. "It will be a good test for us," said Wingert. This is true considering that Wilkes' only two losses came at the hands of two nationally ranked teams. Wilkes is still in the driver's seat in the MAC Northeast with their 3-0-1 record, but they still have two conference matches to prove themseleves worthy of NCAA competition. "Right now we areone of nine schools being focused on for NCAA playoffs," said Wingert. " We have beaten every team we projected we would, but we have to upset some teams in order to get noticed." The Colonels will not be home again until Friday, October 9, when they will meet Moravian.

F.D.U-Madison brought rain with them to Ralston Field last Tu esday, but received thunder and lightning as the Lady Colonels spanked the Jersey Devils 4-1. Toni Farinella and Kim Kaskel each scored twice, as Wilkes showed great ball movement and pressure defense all over the field. Coach Malatesta was pleased with the team effort. "We connected on a number of passing plays in the game. Our forwards controlled the ball beautifully and it gave our defenders time to set up and stop the F.D.U attack," said Malatesta. On a three game winning streak, the Lady Colonels were on the road last counterpart Lebanon Valley. Wilkes started the scoring at 20:58 of the first half when Kaskel found Farinella on a crossing play. Lebanon Valley came right back five minutes later to tie the score at a goal apiece. Sweeper Angie Polny put Wilkes out in front once again (2-1) on a penalty stroke early in the second half, but again Lebanon Valley responded to tie the score at two. With under 20 minutes to go, the Lady Colonels had the wind taken out of their sails when a goal was negated on an advancing call. Lebanon Vall ey , an experienced team, including eight returnees from the regional team of 1991, sensed frustration in Wilkes and opened the game up scoring three goals within the next thirteen minutes. Not giving up, Wilkes ended the scoring when Stephanie Hastings drilled a shot from fifteen yards out 5-3.

People's lives cannot be separated from their myths, which are reflections of their lives. The myth cycle mirrors the life cycle. Sex and the supernatural are intertwined. Just listen to the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," which speaks of creating a state of sexual light and a union with the divine. Carl Jung, a student of Freud, said that the mind, or psyche is intrinsically bisexual or twin-sexed. The gods and goddesses of the past were often veiled in the guises of the "opposite sex," such as the bearded Venus, the female Zeus and Dionysus in drag to name a few. Here is a myth seldom related, which demonstrates how unrestricted the borders of sex and gender were in the past. Zeus, the father of the Gods, was, in modern terms, horny. He was inclined to have sexual relations with anything. Gods, goddesses, animals, etc. - the borders were, indeed, thin. Therewas,accordingtothemyth,ashepherdboynamedGanymede, who was said to be the most beautiful male mortal created. This boy caught the eye of Zeus' attraction. One night, Ganymede was sleeping naked in the pasture among his goats. Zeus stared down upon him from heaven with great lust. No one divine ever held his heart so. He pronounced his will and transformed himself into the guise of an eagle. Out of the midnight heavens, Zeus shot down to Earth like a thunderbolt, and abducted Ganymede. Zeus took him back to heaven, and loved him so much that he made him his cup bearer. Eventually, Zeus expressed his divine love for Ganymede by ···---·····- him into a God. We at the LGBA plan to offer Wilkes an open dialogue about gays, lesbians and bisexuals, and related issues.-Every other issue, we will write a column about a relevant topic to the goals of the LGBA. In the issues where we won't be writing a column, we would like the campus community to let us know how they feel about certain gayrelated issues. For this week, we would like to know how you feel about same-sex marriages. What reasons do you have to oppose them? Is it religious? What are the repercussions on the rest of the community? Should gay "spouses" be allowed to adopt? Should most employers allow "spousal benefits" as they do to heterosexual spouses, as in cases of medical and financial benefits? . . · d This dialogue will not work without your mput.

A young man told a friend and I exactly that while in a discussion about the recent attacks on our fellow students. This statement made a great deal of sense to me; that's why I chose to share it with all of you. What this statement means is: run if you feel it is necessary to do so when (encountering) a bad situation. Do not stand there and fight; you may lose and that's a bad stand. Our campus security department is making every possible effort to keep our students, staff and faculty safe. It's not that they have just begun to take these extra measures for the safety of our campus, they have always been here for us. We just have not had the need to utilize their services to the fullest extent until now. Through the pages of this issue of Th e Beacon, you will find all sorts of safety measure messages from many people on our campus. Take heed to them, don't just read it and not let it sink in, take heed. You don't know; this can happen to anyone of you, and me too. SIGN OF THE TIMES The recent attacks have also made many of us aware of the fact that unemployment and crime are both on the rise. More times than many these two socio-economic factors seem to go together wherever and whenever they occur. These factors usually happen in places other than in a small city like Wilkes-Barre. But, this is a national epidemic. These types of incidents may not have happened in our own backyards before, but certainly they have happened on a huge scale in the big cities of our nation. We must take into account the effects of unemployment. When people don't have jobs they usually try to make a way somehow without resorting to criminal activity. However, when people fi nd that being honest doesn't work, sometimes they will almost undoubtedly resort to criminal acts to survive. I hate to be the one to say this, but racism does come into play with the ills of our nation and locality. People of color have a more difficult time obtaining employment when the nation as a whole is. suffering from an ailing economy. This group of people usually gets hit hard firs t and in the worst ways. Needless to say that people of color in our area aren't obtaining jobs at a steady rate. They never have, but maybe someday they will be. If these types of criminal acts continue in our area, many people will have to take a long, hard and serious look at themselves, their companies, their schools, their businesses, and their establishments. , We must also take a good long look at these factors ourselves, as students about to go into,or better said, go out from the safety of an educational situation and into the real world. THE BEACON 24, 1992 The Scent In the Wind by Al Mueller The phenomenon of Judy Fitch has come and gone. While she may not have ranked in the top ten in the Miss America pageant, those of us who know Judy will always rank her first in our minds and hearts. But, a strange thing happened on the night of Saturday, September 19, 1992. For the first time in a long time, the name Wilkes University was spread across the country in one of the most positive public relations campaigns in our University's history. It is quite a contrast to our normal day to day dealings with the PR office at Wilkes, isn't it? Even without the recent attacks on students, Wilkes has always received very negative press from the local newspapers, while our Stalinist neighbor, King's, seems to have the power to part the Red Sea. Why? Because out PR department doesn't have a clue as to what PR is all about. Instead of seeing opportunities to spread the good news about Wilkes' students among the heathens of Wilkes-Barre, they see themselves as gods, passing judgement on what is, as well as what is not self-aggrandizement. For, according to their faith, selfaggrandizement amounts to printing more than one news item per semester about and individual student orfaculty member. Almost anyone can name the statistics of the football team for the last three years off the top of their heads, not so much because single digits are easier to remember; but because PR at Wilkes is allied with the sports industry. We all remember the hullabaloo over our President's award frorr:. the scouts last year. And, no article on the PR office could be complete without mentioning the Earth Conservancy Group. But, there are those of uswhodon'twearhelmets, hold our fingers in aberrations of the peace symbol of the 1960' s, and who don't run around worrying about every leaf in the greenhouse called earth. No, some of us are too busy doing things thatotherpeople can only dream about. What's the matter? Does the idea of positive PR frighten our PR office? Or,maybe, the problem is that positive PR sounds too much like work. One article does not a university make, nor does an eight page piece of trash do much else, Th e Intercom may be a means to spread the word intracampus, but it doesn't do much to spread the word off campus. Many faculty members were promoted last year and some even received their doctorates; turn it around. Unfortunately, it seemstolateforthat. Too many years of wasteful management and subservience to the Sophist of Hippo have created a permanent and malignant cancer that, continues to spread. One wonders why the majority of students at Wilkes are apathetic to their studies. But, the reason is simply that doing something re- 1-,,::,.......,,,---,......,,,. spec!able aroun~ here is li~e wettmg yourself m ~ dark smt; - -- you get a warm feelmg, but no one else notices.

He is now the starting quarterback for the Colonels. Perry played three years of football at Canton High School, sitting out his freshman year. He started varsity as a sophomore. Perry earned Second team, All-State Honors his junior and senior years at Canton. He also played shortstop and pitcher for his school's baseball team. Now in his freshman year at Wilkes·, Perry has run for four touchdowns and passed for two touchdowns in just two games. He is ranked third in the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) for total offensive yards. Perry was attracted to Wilkes when he was recruited. "It's not a big campus, and there's not a large number of students here. Everyone is very friendly," said Perry. Wilkes is now 2-0 overall, and 1-0 in the MAC under Perry's command at quarterback. But he doesn't want all the credit. "Our offensive line is unbelievable. I have all the time in the world to pass. You could drive a Volkswagon through some of the holes they create," noted Perry. According to Perry, the defense plays an important role in the Colonels' success. "You can't say enough about the defense. They're solid. They keep us in the game when the offense isn't clicking." Perry and the Colo will go on the road this Saturday to play at Susquehanna. Both t undefeated this season.

Although the Wilkes cross country team was defeated by Delaware Valley College, 19-44, they still were able to overcome King's College 18-412. By observing the Lebanon Valley Invitational, which was held on Saturday, September 12, coach Tim Tyson "knew where our kids were as to matching up the two teams." Tyson was impressed by sophomore Jeff Crahalla, whose running continued to improve as the race progressed. Crahalla ran the course in 30:55, which was enough to award him second overall in the race, and first among the rest of the Colonel Harriers. As for the other members of the Wilkes team, Jim Robinson came in second with a time of 34:37, Brad Smith was third with 34:59, Rich Bonning came in fourth with 35:05, and fifth was Dave Hines who came in with a time of 42: 14. Although Wilkes does not officially have a women's cross country team, two women did achieve recognition for their efforts on· Saturday. Shiela Bubba's run allowed her to come in third overall for the Lady Colonels with a time of 25:44. Suzanne Stanski also place for the Colonels with 26:44, putting her in the sixth slot. This coming Saturday, September 26, the Wilkes Cross Country team will be engaging in an away meet at the Susquehanna Invitational.

It was the Colonels first Middle Atlantic Conference contest. Wilkes forced Albright to punt on their openi ng drive of the ga m e. The · teams remained scoreless in the first quarter in front of a packed stadium. Wilkes punted to Alb1ight to begin the second quarter of play. Aaron Wilk recovered an Albright fumble on the Lion's 18 yar d line. Boo Perry once again ran fo r the firs t score of the game. The point afte r attempt was blocked. Albright answered with a 38 yard kickoff return to th e Colonels 47 yard line. The Colonels defense denied Albright on fourth down, and W ilkes took over on downs. Perry's 40 yard pass was tippe d by Steve Endres into Chris Ghignone's hands. An attempted two point conversion was incomplete. With 4:58 left in the half, Albright kicked a 31 yard field goal to make the score 12-3. Perry connected with Ghignone in the opening drive of the second hal f, setting up a 28 yard field goal attempt. Albright took over on downs after the snap was bobbled. Albright was unsuccessful on a 31 yard field goal on their next possesion . Early in the fourth quarter, Jay Straigis picked off an Albright pass. Albright then intercepted Perry's pass. Albright closed the gap, scoring on a 19 yard pass to Brooks. The point after attempt was good, cutting the lead to 12-10. Wilkes answered with an 11 play scoring drive . Endres caught a 12 yard pass from Perry to put the Colonels on the Lion's 3 yard line. Jason Smith burst through the line for the touchdown. Joel O'Donnell's point after attempt was good, giving the Colonels a 19-10 lead with 7 :29 left in the game. The Colonels defense · showed its true colors against Albright's attempted comeback. Chris Carr sliced his way into the Lion 's backfield on 3rd down, stopping the Lions for a loss. On fourth down and 8 with 4 :58 left in the game, Carr knifed into the backfield. recording a quarte rback sack. Albright's .last possesion of the game was once again denied by the tough Colonels defense, giving Wilkes their first MAC win in 3 years. "The defense played very well. Bob Brisk had a great game for us. It was nice to win a MAC game," said Coach DeMelfi. Jason Smith ran for over 100 yards for the second straight week. "The offensive line and fullbacks are why I ran for those yards. Our defense played awesome," said Smith. The Colonels take on Susquehanna University this Saturday on the road. Susquehanna is ranked #5 in the nation. "We're looking forward to this week. They're 2-0, and we're 2-0. It is a rivalry because our guys know their guys," added Coach DeMelfi. "This is the biggest game of the year. They're ranked 5th and we always play them well," said wide receiver Dan McClave. Defensive back Ben McKeowen admits, "it is going to be a tough game. We have to play team defense. We can't give up any big plays. We could gain a lot of respect with a win against Susquehanna." "Crowd support was good .

Booters' enthusiasm running high, tie Scranton BY MISSIE CHINCHAR Beacon Asst. Sports Editor Looking to break the tie The Wilkes men's soccer team upped its record this past week to 3-2-1 overall and 1-0-1 in the MAC Northeast. The Colonels tied in their opening conference match last W e dnesday against their biggest rivals, the Scranton Royals. The Royals went into the match feeling they were playing on a higher level than Wilkes, but the Colonels quickly put a stop to their thinking. Early in the first half, Chris Erb gave Wilkes a 1-0 lead off feeds from Russ Hiser and Mike Herb. Tri-captain Tom Nally believ es that Scranton' s attitude just made Wilkes play harder. "It was a great feeling to go up on Scranton early and watch them play catch-up," said Nally. "They (Scranton) felt as if we didn't belong on the same field as them." Scranton came back late in the second half of regulation and tied the match. The two over tim e periods were scoreless leaving the crucial MAC match in a tie. Scranton outshot Wilkes 12-7 and had a 4-3 edge in the corners. Matt Haney had 10 saves for Wilkes. The Colonels carried their enthusiasim over to Friday defeating Upsala in another double-overtime battle. , • J , Erb scored two ov goals and senior Dan got his first career goal· college ranks for the victory.
