For Wilkes seniors Linda O'Boyle and Kim Swoboda, however, talking is just the first step in teaching the public how to prevent the disease. Both students have been chosen to represent the American Cancer Society as "Nurses of Hope." In this capacity they will inform the public about a numberof topics related to the treatment and prevention of cancer. - ~1 1: 1■~11t111•11111 :::111:e 'iiimliiixIIIliIIiiilI 1Mlwfi~IImYH!2IIJ~ I Ils~fiil : - II!

"Nurses of Hope" are chosen each year on the basis of their organizational, leadership, and com- municative skills. A third nurse, Mona-Lisa Blake, from Luzerne County Community College, was also chosen. The "Nurses of Hope" program allows -young nurses to further their education in the field, while providing them with valuable career experience. "The program provides an opportunity for the girls to gain personal satisfaction," said Reynolds. O'Boyle will specialize in helping the elderly. She recently won the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant.

A range of educators, from kindergarten teachers to college professors, are scheduled to attend the day-long conference which will be held on Wilkes and Kings' campuses. Teachers, area business people, and local service organizations will offer 260 workshops on topics ranging from educational ethics, to one of the most popular seminars, data processing. The conference theme is "Inventing the Future: Teaching and Leaming in an Information Age." Dr. Rosemary Williams "The teachers and administrators will discuss common challenges in teaching and learning and address national issues in relationship to the region," said Rosemary Williams, Director of Extension Programs for Teacher Education at Wilkes. Williams also feels the conference could benefit Wilkes students. "We . encourage education majors to take a look at the presentations. Over 300 hours of instruction will be available," she said. Because of the magnitude of Project LEARN, local business people have provided parking and a shuttle system to accomodate the busloads of teachers and administrators that will converge upon the five-block area. Project LEARN was theorized one year ago, when area school superintendents and college presidents of the Education Leadership Council, discovered the need for local educators to work together . in sharing techniques and discussing problems. lf~ij® W®®fk ~ii \\Afij~fk®® February 15 - 19 . ."......... .. . ...., ..... . ...... • ft • • • nounceme1 r N.

The proposed 1990-91 budget, which was submitted to the state legislature last Wednesday, includes an increase of $188 million for basic education, which is "the single biggest increase in the budget," according to Casey. "We can't afford not to invest in education.... The budget is people, our conscience. It defines our priorities. Education is clearly one of the top priorities," he said. Higher education would also benefit from the proposed budget, with $1.3 billion allocated for colleges, universities, and students through the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency.

Smokers would suffer most under the proposed budget, with a substantial increase on the cost of cigarettes. "It's the tobacco lobby on one side and the people on the other.

One of the largest complaints coming from community is, unsurprisingly, the parking situation. freshµian year in 1988, I have noticed the parking campus has been nothing less than unbearable. Every morning, it is a contest between the students and the faculty for a parking space.

The university has been promising to build a new by Ralston Field with a shuttle bus to transporti car and from the lot every 30 minutes. Fair enough. H current mind-boggling question is, "WHERE IS the great mysteries of the world, folks. It just doesn that students pay all this money, and they have to · calling card from the friendly neighborhood meter their class schedules don't allow them to go out meters. Another problem is the security system. Don wrong. Security is doing a fine job in keeping the but there is such a thing as overkill. The main gripe many students have with sec problem with the VAX terminal room in Stark 257. Every night between 8 and 10 p.m., according to the room is locked up by ABM and access is d students. There is a sign on the door which states th will be closed at 10 p.m., and that room 332 is tore Room 332 has two computers. Since there are security cameras in 257, theft occur. Some students may only have the night to get done. It's not fair that they're locked out of a facility are required to use as part of their instruction. It might be a good idea if the school took time to needs of the students. True, certain needs, like the parking lot, cost money. There is, though, an ob· has to be filled fm the students. The prestiege of university has to be joined with the responsibility to the students' needs. The school can't have only I spaces while a good percentage of..its students are and car owners.

Well those rumors are true. The Pick-Ups, a band composed of local musicians, will supply the sounds which go with the message. The Pick-Ups is composed of Donny Shappelle, rhythm guitar, vocals and songwriting; Len Kishel, lead guitar and vocals; Bebop Walt, bass and harmonica; and "Madman" Mark Marshall on drums. Shappelle describes the sound of the group as a mix between various musical styles. "It's sort of a blues-folk-rock-n-roll sound, and we play songs which mean something,"-he said. The band's live performances only add to its unique sound. "We iry to be our own band with our own sound. We go for the feeling. When we play other people's material we interpret their songs with our own ideas," Shappelle said. The Pick-Ups were formed about seven months ago, but don't l~t that fool you, the members themselves have been involved with music and each other in excess of ten years. The fact that the band has not been together for very long does not mean that its live performances are not "together." "We try to be a tight, lively band. We try to get people up and going. People who hear us will have a real good time. If they want to just listen theycan,iftheywantto dance, they can do that too," Shappelle said.

The Macintosh LC is rich in color. Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound-input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds. Like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way-so once you've learned one program, you're well on yorn way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer-thanks to the versatile Apple®SuperDrive~ which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS-DOS, OS/2, and Apple II floppy disks. Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream-it's a Macintosh. "We want to stress to the community to come out and get involved.

By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor As the excitement of Christmas slowly fades and the winter gets longer and colder, many people tend to get depressed by the winter months. There is one holiday, however, which puts some of the spark back into the hearts of many people: Valentine's Day. Everyone knows that Valentine's Day is a time of yea.r when friends and lovers express their affection for each other through cards, candy, and flowers, but no one is really sure who St. Valentine was or when the holiday actually began to be celebrated. Early lists of Church martyrs show that at least three different Valentines existed, and each of these saints celebrate his feast day on February 14th. Many legends have also been circulated concerning Valentine. Some claim he was imprisoned, and while in jail, he cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. Another story, however, claims that he fell in love with the jailer's daughter and sent her a letter which ·he signed, "From your Valentine." • coming wooWi The various myths and legends concerning Valentine eventually evolved into one. Lovers' quarrels are said to come under his jurisdiction, and he is also the patron saint of engaged couples. By RICHARDYAB Beacon Staff Writer THE BEACON/Dale Nat When the English settlers came to the New World, they brought the traditions of Valentine's Day with them, but the unsteady conditions of the frontier hindered the customs from taking root. There was not an overabundance of women in the colonies, and even if a bachelor was luc;ky enough to buy one for a hundred pounds of tobacco, any signs of affection in public were often punishable by law. Prior to the 18th century, there were only a few ~implistic valentine cards which were exchanged among some of the colonists. After 1723, however, the custom began to ·grow with the import of valentine "writers" from England. These writers contained a vast array of verses and messages which could be copied onto giltedged letter paper or other decorative sheets. LOVE-What does Valentine's Day mean to you? has lost its sentimentality and roCommercial valentines came mance. out about 1800 and by 1840, they "Valentine's Day is still an became even more sophisticated. expression of love, but it has changed in form.

Royalty to perform at King's Over its long theatrical history, King's College Department of Theater Arts has presented virtually every one of Shakespeare's plays in existence. Visiting director Joe Kerrigan, however, has chosen as his production the seldom seen Life and Death of King John. Not only is this the first time the King's players will perform King John, but it is also my first performance in one of Shakespeare's serious dramas. Having run the gamut of comedic old men in plays like The Merry Wives of Windsor, it will be both a pleasure and a challenge to appear in King John. Kerrigan, a King' s graduate, is well known in local theater circles. Besides performing with Scranton Public Theater, Actor' s Circle, and Showcase Theater, Kerrigan has also performed in a number of television plays. Although King John is often listed as a historical play, the drama has many elements of tragedy. Kerrigan hopes that by playing up the tragic aspects of thedrama he can give a new interpretation to o ne o f Sh a k es peare's most overlooked works. In order to give the play a new "look," Kerrigan and designer Brother Jim Miller have decided to perform King John inafour-sidedarenainstead of the traditional Shakespearean thrust stage used by the King's players. The plot of King John concerns deceit, war, and succession to the throne. The drama centers around John , the only remai ning son of King Henry II. After the death of his b rot hers, R ichard a n d Geoffrey, John becomes the crow n ed regent of England. Kin g Philip of France, however, supports the right of young Prince Arthur (Geoffrey' s son) to claim the throne. In the meantime, a bastard so_n of the late King Richard surfaces and stakes his claim for the throne. This confusion poses yet another question: What defines a king? Is it title, pregenature, or worth? The large cast of King Jo hn includes many stage veterans and a host of newcomers. Starring as King John is veteran King's player Eric Kawaleski. I will take on the role of King Philip, while Steve Lewis will play the bastard son and Mike Moore has the role of the Dauphin. Tim Trach will portray the Duke of Austria and David Shock will play Cardinal Pandaulph. Newcomers to the King's stage include Jeanne Krefski as Lady Constance, Jennifer Margis as Q ueen Elinor of Aquataine, Kathleen Radnai as Blanch, and Mary Claire Gianelli as young Prince Arthur. Other members of the cast include Bridget O ' Brien, Mike Hannon, Kevin Anton, Cheryl Catina; and Michael Pawilkowski. King John opens March 6th and runs through March 9th. Tickets are free to Wilkes and King's students. Reservations can be made by calling the King's box office. Sandy Wilson's of the roaring tw,nues, end, features plentyd dancing.

The Flesh & Blood LP can truly be said to em body the prime essences of rock and roll. Slaughter's first album Stick/t To Ya is an intense hard-driving collection in which lead vocalist Mark Slaughter lets loose his wide octave range of vocal prowess on tunes such as "Eye to Eye," "Up All Night" and "She Wants More."

RAINEY Beacon Staff Writer During the football season tight-end Kieth Jackson wrote a rap song about his Philadelphia Eagles. The Wilkes Colonels men's basketball team may be calling Jackson to see if they can adopt the tune entitled "Coming Back Hard." The title could be the best way to describe the Colonels, who have won five of their last seven ball games, including two M.A.C. games in a row. Over the weekend, while most students were busy with the Winter Weekend Party, the Colonels hosted . their own party and had a grand old time, dismantling FDU-Madison, a team tied for 1st in the MAC and sporting an 18-3 record overall, by a score of 82-71. On Monday night, the Colonels set three. scoring records in a 127-70 victory ov.er the Delaware Valley Aggies on Monday night. The two victories pushed the Colonels record to 9-15 and 6-6 in the MAC. While the playoffs are out of the question for Wilkes, the team played the role of spoilers when they beat FDU Saturday. The Jersey Devils had lost only two MAC games before coming to the Marts Center. The Colonels took it to them on the day Wilkes honored their three seniors, Ray Ott, Eric Lawson, and Jimmy Burke. The seniors were workmanlike as Lawson and Burke scored fifteen points each and Ott had five rebounds and four steals. But it was Sophomore center Joe Natale who rose to the occasion for the Colonels, scoring twenty two points, pulling down eleven rebounds, and blocking three shots. "We knew this game would be a big challenge because Madison is an established team," said Ott, pointing to the future. "This win will help our young guys and give them the confidence they need to play with anybody in this league." The win against FDU gave the Colonels some confidence while going into their showdown with Delaware Valley on Monday. No one, though, was ready for the offensive - onslaught Wilkes would unleash during the game'. The Colonels broke the old record established in 1957 for most points in a game (118) by recording a whoppi11g 127 points. They set the record for most points in a half, with 72 in the second frame. The Colonels also broke the old field goal mark of 49, turning in one better for the ball game. The Colonels jumped on top early and never looked back. Sparked by their running game, Wilkes took a 40-10 lead on the Aggies after eight minutes of play. "I think when we get our running game going we have one of the best breaks in the league," said The Be Lawson. "Delaware Valley tried to go up tempo with us early but we just couldn't miss early." 8-BALL ABILITY - Ray Ott dribbles downcourt against Lawson led the Colonels with twenty six points. Coach Rainey was pleased with the performance of his l Burke had twenty one, Natale thirteen, John Mahasky in the victory. twelve on six for six shooting which included a one handed dunk, and John Harlan eleven.

Otherwise, the competition was managed exclusively by Wilkes students, with Teresa Hennan serving as the Student Director. "I want the activities to be more student involved. In this way, they can alleviate any problems which arise during the tournament," said Kinney. According to Herman, however, problems in this year's tournament, were minimal.

Moran Commu nications Professo r "I am definitely concerned about students' attitudes toward the print media. So many young people today are just not reading the newspaper. What they do not realize, however, is that they cannot get the whole picture from television or radio. A newspaper, on the other hand, has both the space and Lime to get the whole story," Moran said. Moran is definitely not a newcomer to the newspaper Feb. 7, 1991 industry. His career in journalism, teaching, and public ,relations has spanned nearly 40 years. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Education and English from Bucknell University and a Master of Science degree in Journalism, Moran worked with various media industries and also maintained teaching positions at the college level. His professional media experience began as a reporter for the Ptttsburgh Post Gazelle in 1951. Over the following twenty years, Moran's duties at various newspapers covered almost every aspect of print media, from reporting to news management. After serving in the military on the teaching staff of the lJnited States Army Informational School, Moran returned to professional journalism in 1961 as a reporter for the Times Leader. ' Moran then joined the staff of the Wilkes-Barre Sunday Independent where he eventually became managing editor. Moran has also served as the Northeastern Pennsylvania regional correspondent to the New York Times, and he currently writes a weekly column for the Sunday Independent. ■ See BASICS, page 8 It's back, and bigger than ever.

JOB HUNTI NG- Students can employers with vital information. Taxes no longer as taxing ■ VITA students offer free income tax assistance By Missy Margus Beacon Staff Writer The headaches and stress often associated with tax season can be significantly reduced for some people, thanks to a continuing program offered by Wilkes Accounting majors. . Free income tax assistance is available to the public as part of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program which is co-sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service. ,____-_-_-_-_-_-_---_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-:._-=- ·~ "\ N- FEB.7,1991 PAGE2 VITA is now entering it's 7th year at Wilkes, according to Ms. Cynthia Chisarick, Associate Professor of Accounting at Wilkes and coordinator of the program. "The students have made it a success. Without student participation there wouldn't be a program," she said. Approximately twenty students have volunteered their time to work with VITA, including two student coordinators, Robert Hawkins and Kim Mattes. The volunteers, mostly juniors, have completed an IRS training course in basic income tax preparation offered at Wilkes. Chisarick believes the program is equally beneficial to the students, as well as the public. "It's a good opportunity for the students to deal with people," she said. Chisarick feels students have several other advantages in volunteering for the VITA program. In addition to the benefit of offering their service to the community, VITA volunteers also gain an opportunity to realistically apply what they have learned in the classroom. The service is available to Wilkes students, the elderly, and low-income individuals from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Feb. 9 and 23 and March 2, 9, and 16. Volunteers will be on hand in room 214 of the Marts Center. Taxpayers seeking assistance are advised to bring this year's tax package, wage and earnings statements (Form W-2) from all employers, interest statements from banks (Form 1099), a copy of last year's return if possible, and any other information that may be relevant. a ■ 1n a waitir y be hol ublic su1 uld- havf messag dad radi rist camp fessional I, say sen ge: "Imp A recently distributed incorrectly lists that commencement exe to begin at 4:00 p.m. startiflg time for cere be 2 :00 p.m. on t Saturday, May 25. ---------------.:,__--------------=.;.;.J ====-========== L.:,____.:._....c...2---------.:::::;;.;.;..:,__~.;,;...;;:.:------:.:::..;.;..:,__.:..__ _ _ ____:_____ -----------------. ■ Friday Winter Weekend Saturday Winter Weekend Men's B'ball - FDU-Madison, 2 p.m. Women's B'ball - Juniata, 4 p.m. Wrestling - Franklin & Marshall, (A) 7:30 p.m. ■ re takini not j ust p istraro, official. nown i, ped Iraqi securit) ments oJ Sunday Winter Weekend Monda �FEB. 7, 1991 PAGE3 e other 'raging fire': the Soviet dilemma Saddam Hussein combats the the freedom-fighting Alliance, a thcr land struggles through a nd of war, a battle to hold cning nation.

The political climate has changed to a "less tolerant, less cooperative" attitude. This shift to conservative ideals is a step backwards, according to Karpinich. "Gorbachov finally has faced a · crossroads in Glasnost- the reformists have stepped out of power. We (in sending United States aid) are supporting something which no longer proceeds upon the same path, " he said. The lack of food, evidence of a failing economy, is but one factor of a broader issue, according to Karpinich. "Gorbachev is losing his sphere of influence." With the Baltic states of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia wishing to gain sovereignty, the Soviet Army has resorted to force in attempting to "keep the status quo," accoding to Karpinich. Throughout all of this, the United States has maintained a position of diplomacy, not wishing to lose Soviet support of its own cause. Yet the Soviet situation remains a primary world concern, along with the Gulf situation. "These issues are the two raging fires of today," said Karpinich. By JUSTIN BURKE Apple College Information Network MOSCOW Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev turned up the tension on independence-minded republics Tuesday, declaring Lithuania' s upcoming referendum illegal. Lithuanian President Vytautas Landsbergis insisted the non-binding ballot would be held as planned Sunday - setting the stage for another confrontation with the Kremlin.

I wa~ up four flights of stairs to keep in shape only to have smoke blown in my face when I'm "sucking wind" at the top. Why aren't the ashtrays in the hallways? Second, why, if someone - gets caught drinking or fighting off-campus, in an apartment, disciplinary action occurs? According to the Financial Aid Office, offcampus housing is a separate unit from the school; therefore, financial aid is not applicable to off.campus housing. Isn't this a double standard? Third, does it take so long to get things done on ·campus? One year ago I approached the bookstore man- ager about the sign outside the bookstore. Three letters were upside down. She stepped outside, laughed, and said she'd get ABM right on it. Six months later, I infom1ed a dean about the situation, still to no avail. It is not just the upside down letters, it is the principle of the matter. Why don't the faculty listen to student-s. Mike Fontinell The student also has to learn to get along with o in the rooms around him. He may have to deal parties or music while he is trying to study. A certain such as this is usually rectifiable because the person ca disturbance may want to be friends as well. By the time the student gets through college, he, maturity, will most likely learn to respect the pri personal rights around him and expect the same treat others. Why, then, when we're supposed to be tolerant habits of those around us, are we so afraid of homos as the technical terminology states, homophobia. Since the beginnings of civilization, all hum homosexual preferences have been shunned, se against, maltreated, and even mistreated. Today, li changed. The issue is not only with the homosexuals, but people with religious preferences who have been against. These people merely wish to practice their peace, without being harassed by the so-called "purists.

He was one of the first cadets in his class that I really got to know as the Flight Commander of the freshmen, and he was always one of the last to leave if I needed help in any form. He most certainly would have been a welcome addition to the Air Force Academy, had his physical condition not prevented him from attending. With all of this going for him, why, then, did you allow such a promising young man to end his earthly existence? I know that we shouldn't question decisions such as these, but I see no logical reason for his death. There are certainly plenty of people who, most would agree, would better serve the human race by being in Dave's place now. A person that comes to mind is the Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Nevertheless, when things began to get unbearable for Dave, why couldn't you have at least given him some help? All of us need a helping hand at one time or another, and if you offered this to him I apologize, but it just doesn't seem possible that help was _offered to a person who only offered of himself. I only wish that he would have thought a little more before he made his decision. I guess, though, that Dave must have felt that he had given all that he had to give. Thus, with nothing left but darkness, he made the decision that will stay with some of us for quite sometime. I can't imagine that those of us who knew Dave are going to forget him. Those who didn't know this outstanding person, however, have really missed out. He was an excellent student, leader, and overall person. I would like to ask a favor from you. Allow others to learn from Dave's passing. There will be others who go through the same mind-set as Dave's that allow for thoughts of ending it all. Please, I beg of you, offer a helping hand, to allow them to make a drffercnt decision. Don't let Dave's death go forgotten. I know that there is nothing that could possibly happen to someone whose problems can be worked out. It's the others out there that don't know what I'm worried about. The problems that we get ourselves into today arc also the ones that we get ourselves out of eventually. That is the reason that I wish that Dave held on for just a little while longer.

Any student, however, can tell you that college life is not as simple as it seems. In fact, college students today face many problems which can make it difficult to cope with everyday life. There are, however, various ways in which the burden of college life can be eased. Organizations such as the Campus Counseling Center were created to alleviate some of the pressures common among college students. These organizations focus upon depression, anxiety, and other personal problems commonly associated with college life. Another alternative which students can consider as they face the problems of college life is the Help Line. Help Line is a nonprofit, referral, advocacy, and crisis access program serving Luzerne and Wyom',1g Counties 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

For this reason, I was very eager to read the book which he had completed shortly before his untimely death at the age of eighty-two. . When actor Sir Rex Harrison died last May, he left behind him a legacy of great performarices on both stage and screen. Best known for his award-winning performance as the crusty professor of phonetics, Henry Higgins, in "My Fair Lady," Harrison was tagged the undisputed king of high comedy. The late Sir Noel Coward once said of Sir Rex, "Harrison is the greatest actor of sophisticated comedy ... next to me." A Damned Serious Business by Rex Harrison is not an acting book. Harrison believed that no one could "teach" a person how to act. His delightful memoir recounts how Harrison developed his unique, naturalistic style of acting. Harrison despised what is known as "method acting," and he tells how he had once done a play filled with method actors. The play was the first production of Chekov's "Platanov." Harrison said that the audience never understood the humor of Chekov in the 20th century since the humor was always downpl~yed by grumbling, grunting, and heavy-handed acting. Harrison's performance of "Platanov," however, revived interest in As you can tell, I admired Rex Harrison Chekov because he indeed brought out the very much, and I believe a young actor can humor in him. learn a lot by observing his many Sir Rex's book is more than a narrative, performances. it's a warm, funny, and touching book filled SERIOUS BUSINESS-- Actor Rex Ha.rrison and h~ Palmer in Bell, Book, and Candle. with antecdotes concerning Harrison's close including the Olivers, Robert Coote, Noel C Richard Burton.

In addition to his full class schedule last semester, Moran ~lso delivered ~he keynote address at the fITst annual High School Journalism Institute of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Edit~rs and Advisors at Tunkhannock Area 1Iigh School. Moran's focus in his address was the overall importance of print media journalism. Moran is now attempting to bring an interest in print media back to students at Wilkes University. Along with encouraging his communications students to write for the campus and local newspapers. Moran has also begun work to create a chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists (SPJ) on the Wilkes campus. "Both the faculty and administration here at Wilkes would like to work to build our Communications Department into on of the largest and best in the northeastern quadrant of the country," Moran said. Moran feels that part of the reason for the decline of enthusiasm for print media stems from a general misconception about the industry. He claims that many students are drawn to the glamour of electronic media, and they forget about the tremendous impact of newspapers. 'Tm going to try to steal as many electronic media people as I can. What they do not realize is that behind every successful anchorperson, there is a newsroom full of writers," Moran stated. Moran also fe~ls that the job of the ~ewspaper and the entire communications 1~dustry has become e_v~n _more important in hght of the current cn s1s m the Gulf. With very little experience in in-depth w ar · coverage, the communications field must adapt to this new situation. lit!ll!lll\11111 "'fhis is heady stuff.

Moran says, however, that his greatest joy co_mes from teaching and placing his hopes m students who he knows will rise to the top.

RAINEY Beacon Staff Writer When Jimmy Burke took the floor for last Saturday's basketball game against Lycoming he may not have been ready for what was about to happen. The Warriors certainly were not. During the game Burke travelled to a zone not many athletes visit in their entire careers. If he was a baseball pitcher Burke would have delivered a perfect game. Instead, the senior shooting guard, who transferred from Susquehanna this year, scored forty points in-the Colonels 88-73 win. Asked about his performance, which included eight of ten from three point land, Burke said it was almost dreamlike. "Everything went right," said Burke. "All the shots I took went in. I scored 25 points in a game as a sophomore at Susqehanna, but I've never had anything like this happen to me." Although Burke scored almost half of the Colonels points, he did not win the game single-handedly. Joe Natale had twenty points and thirteen rebounds and Eric Lawson chipped in ten. Burke spoke about how Wilkes' inside game played a role in his scoring outburst. "Wlien Lycoming's players collapsed on Joe and Phil Marko that let me open to take some three pointers." One person excited about Burke's performance was Colonels coach Ron Rainey, who gave the guard high praise. "I've never seen a Wilkes player shooting from three point range with such consistency before," said Rainey. "Once Tim Marose (Lycoming's leading scorer) cooled off, Jimmy stepped up and did a tremendous job." The victory gave the colonels a two game winning streak as earlier in the week Wilkes shut down Susquehanna 90-78. In the game against the Crusaders, Wilkes had five players in double figures. Eric Lawson led the way with twenty four, Ray Ott had a career high nineteen, Marko and Burke tallied sixteen, and Natale scored ten. The victory showed that Wilkes could play with one of the better teams in the MAC (Susquehanna was 8-4 in the MAC). It also buoyed the Colonel coaching staff who are still positive when speaking about the season. "We're better than our record indicates," said Rainey. "We had some injuries that hurt us (Ott, Chris Patackis, and Tom Sheplock all suffered serious injuries during the year). Still, our young people have improved over the year and they make the future look bright. I hope we can finish up strong for our home crowd who has supported us all year." The Colonels are now 7-14 overall and 4-8 in the MAC. Wilkes will now look to play the role of spoiler as they host one of the best in the MAC Saturday when they take on FDU-Madison at 2:00 at the Marts Center. This game is also Senior day as the Colonels honor Ott, Lawson, and Burke before the game. After FDU, Wilkes plays their last home game of the year Monday at 7:30 when they host Delaware Valley. As the season winds down the Colonels hope Jimmy Burke can take a trip back to that elusive travel spot known as the scoring zone, and if he does he may help the men's basketball team find a home in the winning column. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •• • : • •• • : • : •• • ••• •• ••• •• •• •• •• •• •• • •• •• •• •• •• •• •• at HAR.R.IG~fN'S PU/3 Ster/ Ing H-otel W. ~,ark.et Street, Wilk.es-/3arre HAR.R. /GAN'S LAT€ N 11€ SPEC t,4L8 neon a Cbeese Platter ........... ..... ........... $2.

Because of her direct involvement in "Sandy_ Claus," Samantha was able to deliver many of the lcllers personally, which gave her a good sense of troop attitude. □ See NATIVE, page 3 The reality of war hit home during the holiday break, as 15 Wilkes reservists were called to duty in support of Operation Desert Storm. The breakdown of those summoned to serve ranges from freshmen, part time, nontraditional, and masters degree students to faculty member Henry Steuben. In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the University is unable to release the names of those students who have been called. Before leaving for active duty, the students were asked to contact the Student Affairs office to make neccessary arrangements in securing their educational future. Student Affairs Dean Jane LampeGroh met with many of the students to advise them about their academic status, financial aid, and housing concerns. According to Lampe, those called expressed little emotion and cft.Jj'p'Us AEACtrlON l? u~tti;I vi~ ~'e~ie::i~jiill 1• ~t~fa~~1li i1~•l;•~~[I~[~•~ ~• •§~~Rm9 Hi!Pii1:ilI8@rnrn I •••i •••••••••· 1 weremindfuloftheirresponsibility to representthe United States in the Gulf war. "The students that I talked to were very confident, calm, and purposeful in their approach to their duty," she said. Some of the student soldiers have been sent to join U.S. military forces already in Saudi Arabia. Still others will depart in the upcoming weeks, after completing specialized training. This drastic change in lifestyle seemingly has not affected many of the students. According to Lampe, "For young people whose lives have been turned upside down, their composure was outstanding," she said . Lampe also expressed concern for the threat of chaotic demonstrations, like the rally which took place earlier this month at King's College. Wilkes will not attempt to supress peaceful demonstrations, providing they do not hamper normal University operations. "Wilkes policy concerning demonstrations advocates the resolution of differences in an orderly manner. No demonstration must be allowed to interfere with a person's ability to access the institution," Lampe said. INSIDE ....

LOBALBO Beacon Editor WILKES-BARRE In celebration of Martin Luther King's 62nd birthday, Wilkes University, in partnership with the Martin Luther King Committee for Social Justice hosted a service of prayers, songs, and speeches at the Center for Performing Arts on Sunday, January 20, 1991. The keynote speaker of the afternoon was Rev. Debra Moody, Director of the Ethnic Corporation and Institutional Ministries of the Pennsylvania Council of Churches in Harrisburg. Moody is a graduate of Drew University, Oxford University, has a Ph.D. candidate at Drew University, and a Masters Degree in philosophy. Moody spoke mostly about King's famous book titled "Why We Can't Wait Any Longer." She indicated that King wrote to clearly depict the 400 year wait blacks had to endure before gaining any hope of freedom. King also contended that the blacks' non-violence and disobedience would worked for awhile, but he warned that if blacks did not get their freedom soon, violence would break out in all cities. Moody went on to speak about the homeless blacks in the cities."All people have a right to have a place they can call home," said Moody. • "I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate my birthday than to speak about Martin Luther King,"Moodysaid. "The world has not become a better place to live," she said. "As long as we have dif- ferences of race, the world will tear itself apart, as in the Persian Gulf Crisis." "It's ironic that the birthday of Martin Luther King was also the deadline for Saddam Hussein in the Persian Gulf," said Rev. James Doyle, King's College and Chairman of the Programming Committee. who gave the welcome. Acting as moderator for the service was Vera Comish, of Penn StateLehmanCampus. "We should all pray for the justice that King wanted, she said." As an added attraction, the Community Choir, under the direction of Roosevelt Newton, performed several gospel songs which moved the audience to the point of clapping and singing. The highlight of the program came in the choir's rendition of "We Shall Overcome." The Martin Luther King Committee was founded to "create an active organization of concerned citizens in order to preserve basic rights and liberties for all; to encourage and work for human dignity, social justice, equal opportunity, and civil rights." Other members taking part in the celebration included Rev. Wallace Smith, Pastor, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Wilkes-Barre; Commissioner Frank Crossin, Rabbi Moshe Yerkes, Ohav Zedek, WilkesBarrc; Kenneth Burnett, REACH program; Allan Zellner, Wilkes faculty member; Rev. Anita J. Ambrose, Executive Director of the Wyoming Valley Council of Churches; Beverly Collins, member of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Wilkes-Barre; and Rev. Cordelia Brown, pastor of the Forst United Methodist Church, Wilkes-Barre. Service brings the desert a little closer By NICOLETTE YEVICH Beacon Staff Writer Wilkes' Regional Computer Resource Center has instituted a new exclusive program which will enable students and community members to instantaneously send mail to troops stationed in the Persian Gulf. An electronic mail system has been installed which can send a letter in less than ten hours, as opposed to the weeks it is likely to take through the conventional mail system. "Letters from Home" was creared as part of a joint effort between General Electric, Pitney Bowes and the United States Air Force. Anne Kilyanek, student coordinator of "Letters from Home" began the program at Wilkes after hearing of it through AppleLink services. "It started as a tiny project and grew into something big," she said. Anne Kilyanek sends a "Letter from Home" It is preferred that letters be typed directly onto the computers located in the computer center, however, type-written letters may be submitted at a box at the security desk Stark Leaming Center.

Dr. Wagiha Taylor, Professor of Economics, is president of the local Arab American Association. She came to America from Egypt thirty years ago and still travels to Egypt at least once a year. Taylor, who still has family in the Middle East, is concerned about the effect the war will have upon her native land.

"Read as much as you can and make sure you are part of the global picture," she said. Basu agrees. "Students must first understand and study other cultures and secondly, they must constantly think through a method of resolving conflicts nonviolently." Both Dr. Um_id Nejib, Dean of the School of Science and Engineering, and Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy, Dean of Graduate Affairs and Continuing Education, have also been called upon for their expert opinions concerning the war. Both appeared on WBRE TV-28 when the Gulf war broke out in early January. desk at the Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies in Tel Aviv, Israel. "And people have learned now that they have to take these things seriously. I think it's obvious that in the last day or two the government has been trying to prepare us for a non-conventional attack." That suggests something biological or chemical. Experts still regard a nuclear attack as extremely unlikely. Israel's government this week has been issuing warnings about growing public complacency over use of scaled rooms and gas masks during air-raid alerts. The government adopted regulations making it a violation to be on the streets before an all-clear is sounded, and citations are being issued to people who fail to carry their gas masks. Brig. Gen. Nachman Shai, the defense spokesman known as "the national Valium" because of his calm presence on the airwaves during missile attacks, toughened his tone during Monday night's alert. He kept the alert in effect longer than usual and blistered those who ventured out early. "Apparently, some of you are quite interested in committing suicide. Please do it elsewhere," he said. With the Sukhoi-24s apparently out as a means of delivering chemicals, attention shifted Tuesday to the threat of an attack by the Mirage F-ls, which Iraq used for long-range bombing missions in its war with Iran. During that war, Iraq mastered aerial refueling of the F-ls and struck at Iranian targets as far as 650 miles away. Tuesday CC Meeting, 11 :45 a.m. Bio Club Meeting, 11 a.m. ■ Chemical attacks by Scud missiles are still considered unlikely. Iran has never used them for that, and few experts believe they have the technology to trigger distribution of gas above ground. But "it's certainly not beyond Iran's technical means," said Gold. "They may have achieved it in the months before the war began, and we're just not aware of it." (Richard Price wri1es for USA TODAY.) □ NATIVE, cont. p.1 "During Christmas, troop moral was understandably lowthe men were bored sitting there not knowing what was going to happen," she said. As the deadline approached, however, the soldiers became increasingly more anxious. Before leaving on January 12, Samantha noticed a significant difference. "Moral is high," she said. In light of this, Samantha stressed the importance of stateside backing of the war. "They hear the same news we do, so it's important that we keep up our support." The news that we do see often exceeds safe, ethical standards, in her opinion. "I think the networks Wednesday Resident Assistant Applications due at RLO by 4:30 p.m. SG Meeting, 6:30 p.m. ■ are showing too much," she said. This is not to say that she supports censorship, however. In fact, Samantha can recall times during holiday break when her interest in photography nearly got her into trouble. "I was taking pictures of civilians waiting in line for gasmasks.... they (Arab-American officials) got really uptight about that." Although "Sandy Claus" is now successfully over, Samantha has not stopped her supportive campaign. "I encourage those who received return letters to continue their correspondence with troop members."

' Geisinger® Wyoming Valley Medical Center �PAGE6 JAN.31,1991 'Super years' ahead for America By BRIAN MALINA Beacon Staff Writer Noted columnist Richard Reeves relied on both serious commentary and humorous anecdotes as he presented his lecture "The Berlin Wall and Beyond" to an attentive audience Tuesday evening in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. Reeves, an accomplished author and columnist, is regarded as one of the leading commentators on both national and international affairs. While living in E1,1rope and Asia for the past few years, Reeves has reported from more than forty countries in that time. Besides his extensive travelling, Reeves has appeared in nine television films and has won several of American television's major documentary film awards including the Emmy, the Columbia-Dupont Award, and the George Foster Peabody Award. Reeves has also written seven books including the best-selling Convention and American Journey: Traveling with Tocqueville in Search of Democracy in America, and his column appears twice weekly in more than 160 newspapers. A former chief correspondent for The New York Times, he has also served as editor of Esquire and New York magazines. Along with writing pieces for The New Yorker magazine, Reeves is currently working on a biography of John F. Kennedy. Throughout the course of his speech, Reeves touched on many different subjects including the Berlin Wall, the progress of the ·cold war, and the state of American society. As Reeves began to address the issue of the Berlin Wall, he stated that the building of the Wall was beneficial to America at that specific period during the cold war. Reeves expressed his belief that President John F. Kennedy knew about the building of the Wall prior to its execution, but he allowed it to proceed because, according to Reeves, "It would be the beginning of the end of Communism." The eventual crumbling of the Berlin Wall did help to bring about a final end to the cold war. Reeves, however, believes that its falling will give rise to much political disruption and bloodshed until the governments of the new fledging democracies are firmly established. Reeves then continued to lecture on the current status of American society. Contrary to the beliefs of many others, Reeves feels that America is not in a state of social decline, but rather, that it is on an upward trend. · "America is experiencing a siily mid-life crisis," said Reeves. He attributes this "crisis" to the fact that many Americans feel "it is not enough that I succeed, but that my friends must fail." Richard Reeves addresses the audience Tuesday evening Reeves suggested that this mentality coupled apparent economic success of countries like Japan the widespread belief that America is declining. Reeves feels that although there may be hard · for the younger generations, America is "heading t years." He also believes that American society will prosper because "for every one person who stumbles, ten ready to take his place." Seeking help in stressful times By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Feature Editor WILKES-BARRE- With the recent developments in the Persian Gulf, many young people are concerned about the possibility of a military draft, and they are also confused about their rights and responsibilities if a draft should be instituted. Fortunately, the Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice in coordination with the Wilkes Interfaith Fellowship has developed a program which will help to ease the fears and apprehensions some young people may have concerning the Gulf war. A group of volunteers have established a military counseling service which is aimed directly at those people who have questions concerning their military responsibilities. The center offers materials .explaining suc_h aspects of military service as the draft, enlistment, delayed entry program, active duty reserves, ana draft classifications such as conscientious objector, hardship, medical, and student. According to Selective Service procedures, the first people to be called in the event of a draft would be men who are in the calendar year of their 20th birthday. This would mean that if a draft were to begin this year, men born in 1971 would be called to serve before any other age group. Not only does the center provide resources· for students with apprehensions concerning the possibility of a draft, but it also offers a wide range of information for young people who are considering the military as a career possibility. According to Ned Smith, liaison to the Interfaith Fellowship at Wilkes, although the center advocates a peaceful resolution to the Gulf crisis, the volunteers involved in the military counseling and information services are not trying to influence a young person concerning whether or not the war is just. Instead, the center hopes to provide an individual with enough information to come to a well thought out conclusion. "The current crisis in the Gulf has come to be a life and death situation, and people should be provided with enough input to make a well-informed decision concerning their own possible involvement in the war," Smith said. Smith has spoken to inany Wilkes students and their families in the past few months concerning their options in the event of a draft which includes ways to become a conscientious objector. b Pitera eshman thcr way Canada. A conscientious obJector is defined by the anyone whose moral, ethical, or religious beliefs o to participation in war in any form.

NEXT WEEK'S STAGE DOOR: A Tribute to Rex 'Balance' comes to Sordoni Galle By CAROLYN DOUGLAS Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University's Sordoni Art Gallery has always been on the cutting edge of the art world. The gallery has presented many first-class shows in the past, and the current exhibit is no exception. THE BEACON/Dale Nat A sampling of some "Balance and Assembly" "Balance and Assembly: Lee Levine and Shawn Dulaney" has been on display in the gallery since January 20th and will continue through February 24th. This dynamic exhibit is the product of two very talented artists and consists of both sculptures and paintings. Lee Levine, an architect and large-scale ceramic sculptor, founded the STUDIO in Jul)t.~ 1986. This renovated warehouse provides an environment in which artists can develop both architectural and sculptural projects. Levine's works have been on exhibit throughout the northeastern United States, especially New York and New Jersey. According to Levine, his ceramic and cement forms represent both physical and geographic growths and transformations which define our world. Shawn Dulaney, and artist who lives and works in New York, has studied art in Toronto, England, and California. She claims that her painting process is a truly spontaneous activity because she never · can tell what image will emerge on her canvas. "I don't know the paintings when I first paint them," Dulaney said. Jean Adams, Assistant Director of the Sordoni Gallery, organized the event and has a great deal of respect for the abilities of both artists. "I was impressed with Lee's work, energy, and dedication to his art. I told him we would have a showing of his work and asked him if he knew someone would be compatible with his. He Shawn Dulaney," Adams comme Adams says that the resp showing has been extremely favo "Everyone I have heard from the abilities of the artists. Some love the works, while others app the time and dedication which art." Although a reception and di both artists was held on January exhibit will still be on display unbl 24th for anyone who wishes to ex works of these talented artists. When asked if she would I' these two very talented artists gallery, Adams responded positi said that the gallery must also other artists' works as well. "There are so many qualified we should expose as many as we public," Adams said. The public will have a ch many different forms of art at the next few months. Upcoming e gallery will include two sets exhibitions from March 2nd to and March 16th to March 24th; photographs from the 1930's by Walker Evans and Dorothea Lange 6th to May 5th; and a selection of regional private collections from June 16th.

The Wilkes University basketball team has hit hard times of late. The Colonels record stands at 5-13 overall and 3-8 in the MAC. And just when it looked like the Colonels might put a streak together the team dropped a contest to the Drew University Rangers Monday night at the Marts Center. The Colonels lost to Drew in overtime 83--78. The loss came on the heals of an 80-61 thrashing the Colonels gave the Delaware Valley Aggies last Saturday. The victory over the Aggies snapped an eight game losing streak for Wilkes. Senior guard Eric Lawson scored 25 points in the win to lead the Colonels. The victory in Doylestown was an important MAC win for the Colonels after losing tough games in the past two weeks to rivals King's and Scranton. The game swung back and fourth for thirty eight minutes until Drew took a four point lead. This inspired the Colonels, however.With just eleven seconds left in regulaation, Ray Ottpushcd the ball up court with the Colonels down three. The senior captain found an open John Harlan, who launched a three-pointer with six seconds remaining in the ballgame, and to the delight of the Marts Center crowd, he canned it. Small guy goes high By HARRY BLAUVELT Apple College Information Network In a big man's game, where 7-footers are the measuring stick, diminutive point guard Keith "Mister" Jennings has East Tennessee State standing tall. Only 5-7, he is the Buccaneers' biggest threat, the catalyst for coach Alan LeForce's team. He is the Bucs' little big man. "I've sometimes wondered what it would be like to be 6-2," says Jennings, who dunked last year in a pickup game. "If he'd been 6-2, we'd never have gotten him," says LeForce, whose No.12 Bucs (16-2) defeated Marshall 99-88 Monday night. "He's a once-in-a-lifetime player." Jennings averages 18.6 points a game. He leads the USA in three-point field goal percentage (70.5), is No.6 in assists (8.1), 10th in free-throw percentage (88.9) and 16th in steals (3.1). Last Saturday, Jennings scored 28 points, with six assists, three rebounds and two steals in the Bues' 97-66 victory against Virginia Military Institute. "Have you ever seen a 5-7 kid dominate a game like that?" asked VMI coach Joe Cantafio, whose team plays in the Southern Conference, along with East Tennessee State. "I can't wait for Mister (a senior) to graduate." Jennings has been called "Mister" since he was 6. At a little league football draft, after ignoring his father's calls to leave, his dad snapped, "Mister, get your butt over here." Jennings came to ETSU from Culpeper (Va.) High, where he was a four-season starter for coach Billy Thornhill. In his sophomore season, with seconds left, Jennings stole the ball and dribbled the length of the court for a game-clinching layup against The Citadel in the conference tournament. "Without tl}at play, we wouldn't have gotten · to the NCAA tournament," says LeForce. This season, after the Bucs' 88-79 loss to No.6 Arizona (16-3) in game two, 6-11 Greg Dennis broke his foot in practice. Jennings has picked up some of the scoring slack. "Jennings creates so many problems," says Arizona coach Lute Olson. "It's unusual to see a guy that good a shooter who is also such a good penetrator." Although the Bucs stumbled a week ago against Tennessee-Chattanooga, they have registered some satisfying wins, including James Madison and Cincinnati on the road. But most impressive: 94-91, at home against North Carolina State before a school-record 12,240 at Memorial Center. "I think he is the most underrated point guard in the nation," says North Carolina State guard Chris Corchiani. "He does it all and makes it look easy." Jennings would like to play in the National Basketball Association. There is precedent for little men, namely Charlotte's Tyrone Bogues, 5-3, and Atlan~•s Spud Webb, 5-7. Ott, who had eleven assists in the about the play. "John trailed the play and spotted upa or 24 feet, his man kind of sagged hi probably scared to foul or didn't think he it. But he did, and we didn't take adv getting a second chance in overtime. rou many second chances so it really hurt." The Colonels were unable to gen offense in the overtime period and the Col five points. The Colonels will next take on S tonight, starting at 8:00pm. The Colonels travel to Lycoming on Saturday for ant game. Then, on Wenesday February 5th Ill take on rival Scranton University at home. .................................... •• ••• •• •• recognition have to et in the B is yes, bum team has wn, the wo Denise Ca, team.

She was a member of the team which holds the record for most and is listed among the top ten career for Wilkes Women. Bove has been school basketball at Wyoming Area and is also among the top ten leading scorers for Wilkes. The Lady Colonels lost thier leading scorer from last year, Nicloe Kovaleski. Plus, they only have nine players on the team, makicm it impossible to play five-on-five at practice. Then why arc the Lady Colonels doing so well? Currently they arc ranked second in the MAC boasting an overall record of 13-6, 3-2 MAC-NW'. Could thicr success be contributed to the fact that Wilkes has several players listed among the leaders of the MAC in indi victual statistics? Or is it because they have four players averaging double digits every game? THE BEACON/Dale Nat On January 19, 1991, individual statistics were pu~.lishcd by th~ Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC). Juruor center Krista Zoka was third in rebounding with an average of of 11.2 rpg, which now now has her 24th in the country among Division III players. Zoka leads the team in scoring with 14.2 ppg. This past week she was named MAC player of the week along with being selected to the ECAC Honor Roll Team for the week of January 20, 1991. J~nior Denise Carson, the staring point guard, was hsted first among free throw accuracy with a percentage of .857. She also leads the team in assists with 69. Carson was also selected to the Honor Roll Te~ by the ECAC for the-week of January 12,1991, whde scoring an average of 10.6 ppg. Lorrie Petrulsky was ranked tenth in scoring. Recently, she has been sidelined with a knee injury and hopes to return shorty. Petrulsky is tied with Zoka in scoring with an average of 14.2 ppg. This past week the Lady Colonels have resparkcd the flame in their game by coming away with two impressive wins. In both games the women have Denise Carson leads a potent offense for the Lady Colonels. managed to hold their opponents to fifty or less po\Jlts. Th(?ir first win was Wednesday against cross-town rivals Kings College 72-46, while their second win was Saturday against Ccntinary College 78-50. In the game against Kings, Krista Zoka had a very impressive day by scoring 22 points, grabbing 14 rebounds and shooting 6 for 9 from the charity stripe. Missie Chinchar also was a terror, scoring 16 points, hauling down IO rebounds, while chalking up two block shots and four steals. Denise Carson also contributed four steals, five assists and scored double digits by burning the net for 16 points. Despite their great start the Lady Colonels will have a rough road ahead of them if they want to go to playoffs. Five of their next six games are MAC division games. Their first game is tonight, Thursday January 31, at 6 p.m. against the league-leaders Susquehanna University. Their only other home game this season is Saturday February 9, at 4 p.m. against Juniata. Also for those of you who may believe that the Lady Colonels are only "a. flash in a pan," they only lose one senior, Kelly Ruff due to graduation. Therefore, there will be at least an equally talented team representing Wilkes next year. But for now the season is far from over for the Lady Colonels, and they need and deserve the support of everyone here at Wilkes. stling loses to Syracuse Draughts .. . ~tc~ers .. .

"According to recent statistics, one out of 500 college students now carry the HIV virus," said the Wilkes Health Services Coordinator. "AIDS is the leading cause of death of women in their child bearing age." Nearly 200 students packed Rumours Wednesday evening prepared to hear Ron Fredericks tell his story. What they got turned out to be much more. Fredericks, a local man who has tested HIV positive, recently lost both his wife and son to AIDS. Flanked by his "support group," he quickly informed the audience of his objective, to give insight into a deadly disease. "Unless you change your sexual habits, some of you are going to have it. It's real." Throughout the presentation, members of Frederick's support group vividly portrayed their own images of the reality of AIDS. ARENESS - Ron Fredericks along with his support group inform about AIDS istmas dance: rumors, Rumours, rumors the holiday season approaches, Wilkes [ediu -Top .n Piz look forward to the end of classes, Christ~. and the annual Christmas Dance. year, however, there are mixed emotions ·ng thelocation of the dance.

Instead of the usual $15 price of a ticket for the Homecoming Dance, the cost of the Christmas Dance is only $7.50 per person. Because the dance will be held on-campus, C.C. and I.R.H.C. members will also have an opportunity to more elaborately decorate prior to the event. "By holding the dance at Rumours, not only are we able to lower ticket costs for students, but we can also create a more festive atmosphere by including more decorations," said Commuter Council member Terry Elias. Many students , however, object to the new location because University policy restricts the consumption of alcohol in campus buildings. Unlike dances held at the local establishments , which often allow those who are of legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages at a cash bar, Rumour's will feature "mocktails" for everyone, regardless of age. Some feel that the absence of alcohol at the dance will greatly affect ticket sales. "More people would be interested in attending the dance if it were held in a place like Genetti' s where alcohol is served, and they also would probably pay more for the tickets just to have alcohol," said one student. The dance will be held on Saturday, December 8. "Mocktail hour" will be from 6:30 to 7:30, dinner from 7:30 to 9, and dancing will continue until I a.m. "Unless you change your sexual habits, some of you are going to have it. IT'S REAL." Ron Fredricks AIDS Patient Carol Yozviak of the Pennsylvania Department of Health, deals with patients of all ages on a daily basis. "It hurts to tell someone who is 18 years old that they are HIV positive. That's the real world." "What do people with HIV look like," Yozviak posed, making reference to the often unseen danger of infection,"they look normal, exactly like you and I." Others spoke in technical terms, clarifying questions posed by audience members. Dr. Jeffrey Sands told of the methods used to detect the virus, emphasizing the difficulty in distinguishing early symptoms. Still others told the tale of a very much normal man , not a homosexual or a drug user, who contracted the disease and suffered through the agony of watching his loved ones die from it. "Ron seeks meaning and value in his life by teaching others about living and about dying," said Rev. Mary Laufer of Hospice St. John. Another Hospice adm inistrator, Brian Thomas, said much the same. "Ron works to prevent everyone from going th rough the same th ing he did," Thomas said. But all clearly presented one clear message, a message which Fredericks himself best summarized. "If you go o ut of here and contract AIDS a year or two down the road, you have no one to blame but yourself." The speakers informed audience members of the primary assurance of not contracting AIDS, abstinence. Other methods, including monogamy and the use of condoms were dimissed as secondary. "Using a condom properly may keep you from contracting HIV, but there is a 16 percent failure rate," said Yozviak. The best way to combat AIDS, according to Fredericks, is to understand it. "The bottom line is this, he said. "Do you hear what we've been saying? " �DEC. PAGE2 6, 1990 Role of women discussed at foru WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University and the Pennsylvania Humanities Council will sponsor two panel discussions during December. The first discussion, "Women and the Arts of Peace," will take place today, and the second, "Holistic and Humanistic Approaches to the Healing Arts," will take place on December 13. Both panels will be held in the Media Room of the Marts Center at 7:00 p.m. The purpose of the panel discussions is to provide the community with an opportunity to participate in a forum which explores the roles of women and the humanities in promoting a peaceful and healthy world. Today's panel will feature Sr. Constance Kozel and Sr. Barbara Craig of the Interfaith Resource Center for Peace and Justice; Marie Henehan, Ph.D., Wilkes University Assistant Professor of Political Science; and Capt. Robyn King, Wilkes University. The panel will be moderated by Heidi Hojonowski, an English and Spanish major at Wilkes. The panel on "Holistic and Humanistic Approaches to the Healing Arts" will feature Holiday Adair, Ph.D., Wilkes University Assistant Professor of Psychology; William Clearfield, D.O; Anne Kolanowski, Ph.D ., Wilkes University Associate Professor of Nursing; and Linda Paul, Ph. D., Assistant Professor of Philosophy. The panel will be moderated by Lisa Balestrini, a Communications major at Wilkes. Support for the program has been provided through a grant from the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Students of the Wilkes University Women's Studies program will participate in both discussions. The program has been organized by Karen Kaminski, Assistant Professor of Nursing; Michael Garr, Associate Professor of Sociology; Patricia Hearnan, Associate Professor ofEnglish; and Lori Fuller, a Psychology and Sociology major at Wilkes, in cooperation with university and community groups.

The team, which consists of Teresa Herman, Heather Shocker, Agathic Povliasis, and Alfred Mueller, will make a video tape of their discussion and submit it to the national center for evaluation. From the video tape entries, three winners will be announced and will then advance to the National finals at the Western Speech Communication Association's convention in Phoenix, Arizona, February 15-19.

When the men-only draft ended in 1973, women made up just.1.6 percent of the military. Lawmakers aren't likely to seriously consider involuntary service unless Bush makes a request. If that happens, the debate would tum stormy. Lawrence Korb, a former assistant defense secretary for manpower, calls the draft issue a "red herring." Proponents of reinstating conscription, he said, "never liked the volunteer military" or are trying to undermine support for Bush's policy with scare tactics. Former Col. Taylor, a Vietnam veteran who is a senior vice-president of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that even in ¢e worst case "a draft is unnecessary." "This country has under arms, and in the available reserves, all the manpower required to fight what will be a war of 30 days or less - with or without rotation policy," he said. Korb said he also didn't think the draft would be resumed. "ff you go to war, that war is going to be quick. Either;·ou're going to win it quickly or you're going to find you can't achieve your objective."

I ran into the grocery store, turned down the aisle I wanted, and stopped ·hort. There, in front of the breakfast cereals and her entranced 6-month-old baby, a mother was dancing and singing along with the store music, ·'Celebrate good times, come on!" She was oblivious to the amused smiles of shoppers who pushed their carts around her, acting as if they did not see her shimmying with the Cocoa Puffs. It was the same look that Sioux Indians gave U.S. Army Lt. John J. Dunbar (played by Kevin Costner) as they watched him dance with Two Socks, a wolf who becomes the lone white man's loyal companion in the movie "Dances With Wolves." In this tale of friendship between white man and Indian, Dunbar's openness to the initially unfriendly neighbors he finds on the plains of South Dakota leads him Lo find his true self. The truth of who he, and all of us are, is well made at one point when the chief tells Dunbar there is only one road in life that matters most. "It is the trail of a good human being," he says. We all seek this trail, and the lessons and challenges from that time are still with us today. Human rights, regardless of race, are still being fought for.

GORDON EDITORS Liu, 65, reported on corruption in the Chinese government in the 1950s and was expelled from the Communist Party. He was unable lo publish for 22 years, and spent much of the time toiling in the countryside as part of his education in "reform." One of his many tasks was to carry up to 120 lbs. of seed and manure up a mountain to cultivated terraces. He carried the load in buckets that hung from a pole across his back. Pardoned in 1979, he again began exposing government corruption for the People's Daily and was forced Lo leave China. Liu has published three books, lectured at Harvard University and holds a fellowship at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars 1n Washington, D.C., where he now resides. "The reason the Party tries to (now) maintain such strict control is because it fears the people as never before," says Liu. "Chinese journalists have never encountered such difficult and painful situations as present. "The reason why they do not resign or rebel openly is not out of cowardness, but rather because they know that once they left their posts, they would immediately be replaced by others trusted by the hardliners, possibly people from the army, then they would lose their chance of speaking out at the right moment." Liu says the crisis in the Persian Gulf has given China an excuse not to address human the United States wants China's support arena if military force is deemed necessary from Kuwait. That thought was evidently echoed Bush when he met with Chinese Fore· Qian Qichen last week and told him between the two countries could not be unless China improves its human rights .The meeting was the first encounter and any senior Chinese official since tanks rolled into Tiananmen Square 18 killing hundreds of pro-democracy dem At the same time, Bush offered to Iraq as a last effort to avoid military the Middle East.

Joe Barberio Oxfam America Fast for a World Harvest �DEC. 6, 1990 PAGES En-Gulf-ed during the Holiday season T he fact that the U.S. is on the brink of war had little or no impact on me during the weeks before Thanksgiving break. I heard many stories of how other people's friends were in the armed services and on their way to the Gulf. My reaction showed some concern, but I wasn't able to convey a sense of sadness or sorrow to the magnitude of those individuals' feelings. Politics are confusing and often difficult to understand. However, it is not hard to understand that George Bush is pumping up his ego with every macho speech and tactical maneuver he makes. st encount )fficial si m Squar xracy d offered dmili )nded wi tently o rahs and I and th or which mtribute ·ct Oxfa thanks l ·k Lobby pd show th Dn who were nclude: Dr. aul Adams, ( [enehan, (pro n, (prof. of .

I ;11r11:11111 I have ·to admit that I am not thoroughly involved with the political stage the world appears upon. During Thanksgiving break, however, I was seated in the front row as I watched an actor prepare to take a part on a stage of senseless war. The actor was a great friend of mine whom I grew up with in my neighborhood. I knew that he had enlisted in the Marine Corps about a - - - - - - - - - - - . year ago, but it never really struck me that he would be a participant in war. The day before Thanksgiving, a few of my childhood friends and I gathered to pitch a game of horseshoes, and my friend who was headed to the Persian Gulf was there. He didn't start any conversations about war or fighting. The only ~ things he talked about were some of the hilarious mishaps that we got into while we were growing up. None of the Marine macho bull crap was evident as he reflected on our days of fun and frolic. I asked him about the Gulf and if he would be going. He responded," Yea, December 10th." I suddenly froze momentarily in my train of thought. Something struck a vital cord of my sensitivity: This was someone I have known for 18 .s.. years and someone I would like to know for the rest of my life. He will become an actor when he suits up in his Marine costume. The reason I give the title of actor to him is because he will become an individual unlike his true personality once he sees real combat action. George Bush is who I blame. Why is he sending more troops to the Gulf? I know he has set a January 15 deadline for Iiaq to leave Kuwait, but it seems ,.1 ridiculous that he is sending them right before Christmas. It's • bad enough that the troops had to eat their turkey dinners on foreign soil.

Consequently, many Americans fail to express concern over the continuing war raging right here in the United States. The troops involved in this battle are Vietnam veterans who are afflicted with PTSD: post-traumatic stress disorder. The battles they fight are in their minds. Vietnam. The word alone connotes so many different things to so many different people. Its mere mention taps a reservoir of emotion which varies in volume from person to person. One man shakes his head in disgust over what happened in Southeast Asia. Another looks off into the distance, sadly remembering his brother whose life was taken in that far-away land. A woman's eyes blaze with the fire of anger at an American government wrapped in infinite red tape. A boy smiles, waiting anxiously to hear heroic stories laced with gore, too young and naive to know any better. Yet another man rests his head in his hands, eyes closed tightly and moist with tears, desperately trying to find cover or, better yet, an escape from the battlegrounds in his mind. He is a Vietnam veteran who is forced to return to the jungles every day. His ticket back to Vietnam is PTSD. PTSD is a psychological disorder in which an individual relives a traumatic event through recurrent memories, dreams or through a feeling that he or she is suddenly back in that terrifying situation. Such a condition is caused by episodes which are outside the range of usual human experience including assaults, rape, fires, floods, earthquakes, accidents, kidnapping, torture ... war. The list goes on and on. Books, journals and magazines offer a wealth of knowledge on the topic of post-traumatic stress disorder and the Vietnam veteran. However, sometimes a single person can contain more information than all the books on PTSD combined, because that person is animate. That person is real. That person was there: Ken Sewatsky, a local resident, has PTSD. In Vietnam he was stationed at Con Thien, the most heavily mortared area in Vietnam. American troops at Con Thien received 12,000 - 18,000 rounds of mortar and rocket fire every day for three months straight. Whereas most American troops in Vietnam took part in five or six major operations (battles), Ken was involved in over 20. When Ken set foot on Southeast Asian soil, he was only 18 years old. At 41 years of age, Ken is a mountain of a man -just over six feet tall and tipping the scales at 260 pounds. Ken is as gentle and softspoken as he is big. Yet, looking into his eyes, his deep, dark eyes that witness~d so much, it is clearly evident that something slumbers inside of him that should never be awakened. On one particular night in April, I had the honor to stand side by side with Ken and walk back into the jungles of Vietnam, into his life and into his PTSD. Ken shared his thoughts and memories: "It's just the suffering, the sorrow is what PTSD means to me." - Ken Sewatsky Vietnam Veteran "To me it brings back all the memories, the sorrow, the bad times, the killing. You know, I feel so bad about the guys who got killed and that's probably what affected me, part of what affected me really bad. I think about all the guys we lost and all the bodies I've carried ... there were times when we had to match arms and legs, you know, does this arm go with this body? Or does this leg go with this leg? It's just the suffering, the sorrow is what PTSD means to me ... " ~ said, 'I need your help,' I would go. I sounds crazy, but I would still do what I c guess it's patriotism, I don't know ... " "When I arrived, it really set in. It some game I used to play in the woods whe• 12 years old. We used to play 'Pow-I-Got. this was real. You were gonna die if you have your shit together .. .'' · "I knew I was there for a purpose wasn't fighting and killing all these peo South Vietnam. I was doing it for Ken, sol get home. I wasn't worried about South V I was worried about Ken ... " "I can remember coming home that seeing thousands of people with big ban · course you couldn't see what they said. I 'Wow, we're getting welcomed by all people!' Everybody was eccstatic. 'Look welcome!' Then we got off the plane and sudden it was 'Baby killers, go back!' Th[J throwing eggs and tomatoes and I everything, spitting at us ... these were your turning against you ... " They took an 18-year-old kid and, in a of months, I became one of the best, well· killers the United States could ever put out couldn't believe boot camp ... every timt looked at you, they told you that you were g die .in Vietnam, you fucking scumbag ... I from an 18-year-old kid that was going to and riding around in his car to a fucking · would fucking kill and kill. And then I comt and I just fucking killed all these people, my job and that's it, you'rejinished. You're killer any more. It's over. Now you go Ken." Wounded: many American troops received injuries mental injuries while serving in Vietnam. "The first time I learned about Vietnam was my senior year in History class. My teacher was Mr. Smith. He brought in Time magazines for everybody. And he said, 'A lot of you guys, this is what you're going to be facing in the next couple of years and I just want you to read about it.' To me, it was like, 'Hey, what do I have to read this shit for?' I was never really into history but I read it. I was reading about it and I was like, "You know, this is really heavy duty.' ... " "I graduated high school and me and three of my buddies started talking about going to do our duty for the country and, you know, there's a war on and we should do our part. So we joined the Marines. We went through boot camp together, but we got split up after that ... " "That's how I felt then and still feel now. Even though Vietnam is over and I have a lot of problems over Vietnam, if a war broke tomorrow and they were taking guys 40 years old and they Ken Sewatsky's ordeal is indicative psychological trauma that followed many Vi veterans from the menacing jungles ove their homes in the United States.

In her usual self-effacing humility, she takes a stab at commercialism on "God Bless the Child" when she "troubles" the producer with a request for live musicians: "No synthetic sound, please." The goofiest, and the most fun, song is Marge (Julie Kavner) and Homer's duet, "I Love to See You Smile." Marge can barely talk, much less sing, but somehow her raspy, cracking voice is adorable when paired with Homer's dopey vocalizing. Lisa cuts loose on horn solos throughout the album with the help of top saxophonists like Tom Scott. But she can't beat bad boy brother Bart (Nancy Cartwright). He teams up with Buster Poindexter on the rockish "School Day," and turns hip-hop in "Deep, Deep Trouble," a story-song in the Fresh Prince mode. But the real boffo Bart is "Do the Bartman," the, album's first single.

What he did know, however, was it would be the first match between the Colonels and the Quakers ever. "Having never wrestled Penn before we were a little in the dark," said Reese. "We did know they had an assistant coach who was at Oklahoma when they were national champions." Reese also knew Penn had been recruiting strong nationally, witness two starters being ex-Kansas state champions. What Reese found out Saturday afternoon at the Marts Center was the Quakers were no match for the young Colonels. Wilkes spanked Penn 29-9, as the Quakers tried to sooth their derriere's all ·the way back to the City of Brotherly Love. The Colonels dominated this one almost wire to wire, winning the first eight matches before dropping the final two. If any doubts lingered in the beginning of the match, Chris Ricard answered them, knocking off Brad Esson, one of the ex-state champs 7-4. Next up was the marathon match between Wilkes' Dave Russo and Paul Schwarzbach. In a bout which exceeded twenty minutes due to injury, Russo prevailed. "In the first period Schwarzbach suffered a two inch gash on his head," said Reese. "The referee had to keep stopping the match to get him taken care of. He was bleeding and needed to be taken care of, so that slowed the _match down." Mike Froelich continued his dominant ways at the 134 pound weight class by stopping Rick Dabbs, the Bloomsburg Open champion, and according to Reese, "their best wrestler." Froelich prevailed 12-8, upping his record to 4-0. At 142, Freshman Mike Evans beat the other Kansas state champ, Gonz Medina, 8-3. In the most exciting match of the afternoon, Jason Eike ' squeaked past Shawn Seagreabes 10-9. The match saw Seagreabes jump out to a 4-0 lead only to have Eike reel off 7 straight for a 7-4 lead. "With thirty seconds left the score was tied at eight," said Reese. "Jason then let him up with 12 seconds left and he was winning 9-8 and it looked like Jason was through. But Jason got a two point takedown with one second remaining, it was unbelievable." The 158 pound bout saw Anthony Guidi stay unbeaten with a 5-3 win over Henry Franklin. In th e 167 pound match, Steve Desanus stayed in bed. It was one of those days, as scored a technical fall, 16-1. Neal, who improved to 4-0, has been n spectacular thus far. "Merrel is just wrestling with all kinds Ii right now," said Reese. Charlie Keyes didn't do too bad at 177 pinned a shell-shocked Josh Horrell at 00:59 period.

Against F.D.U. the Colonels took one of the best teams in the conference to the final seconds before Jeff Gregory missed a baseline jump shot at the buzzer. On Monday night, the Colonels fell to Messiah by just two points. After jumping out to 10-2 and 19-4 leads, the Colonels were not able to hold on to a four-point halftime lead. The Colonels chances were hampered when two starters were not in the game in the final minutes. Freshman Chris Patackis sprained an ankle in practice Sunday and missed the game, while captain Ray Ott was injured during the game diving after a loose ball. Ott, who may miss this weekend's tournament at Allentown, spoke about the losses. "We are doing a good job putting ourselves in positions to win gai:nes, but we are not finishing it off," said Ott. "Hopefully we will get some breaks and start winning the close games, it's important that we start getting some wins and developing a winning attitude." Against Messiah, the Colonels were led by a quartet of backcourt players as Ott, Gregory, Eric Lawson, and Jim Burke all scored in double figures. till a good fiJ tout of 40 ( ghter-he's tewart fight was ing to his cam ·ng in late Augus y suffered a I( Up next for the hard luck Colonels is a tournament at Allentown this weekend.

After this weekend tournament, the Colonels will be off until the Colonel Classic on December 28 and 29.

Panel members fielded questions at forum .Photo by Vaughn Shlnku5 Following the question-and-answer session, the audience was asked to pose questions concerning campus life at Wilkes. The audience was hesitant at first, but soon began to raise concerns about a variety of issues. Some of the topics discu1;sed included concerns for the health and safety of dormitory students in light of the Sterling Hall incident, long-term planning for satellite parking at Ralston Field, and the recent institution of the recycling program at Wilkes. Laurie Tappan, coordinator of the event for Student Government, fell positively concerning the successs of the forum:' "Although there was a small crowd on hand, the questions posed were valid and of interest," she said. ving troops a feeling of home By JEFFREY C. LOBALBO Beacon Editor Photo by Vaueh n Shlnkus WILKES-BARRE - The Christmas spi_r.it seems to be present among the students of the Wilkes community as students work lo support our soldiers in the Persian Gulf. When American troops began going over Lo Saudi Arabia, the Wilkes University Student Government initiated "Qperalion Yellow Ribbon." Students obtained yellow ribbons from Stark Lobby and tied them on objects located around campus, including banisters, doorknobs, etc. Dean Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, has expressed her positive feelings about "Operation Yellow Ribbon. ''I'm delighted that the yellow ribbons are not only being kept, but they are being replaced when they become worn," said Lampe-Groh. There has also been some talk about a large ribbon being tied around the bell tower. To support our troops through the upcoming holiday season, about three weeks ago, operation "Sandy Claus" was initiated. The idea is for Wilkes students to spread Christmas cheer by writing lelters to the troops stationed in Saudi Arabia. This has also met with great success. "It's been going very well. I've given out 900 names of soldiers to write lo," said Samantha Ireson, one of the planners of the Wilkes chapter of Operation "Sandy Claus." She stated that Wilkes students are very supportive of the program. Ireson is asking all those wishing Lo write a letter to contact her at 829-9212, or slop in her dorm room, Room 513 of Miner Hall. Ireson said that she will carry as many Ieuers as she can when she goes back to Saudi Arabia, but the ones she can't take back ,will have to be mailed. All lcuers to be mailed must be in an envelope with a return address and a 45¢ stamp. Ireson will address the letters herself. The deadline for mailing leuers is November 30 through December 3, and the deadline for letters to be carried is December 15. �Nov. 29, 1990 PAGE2 Faculty discusses genetic iss By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE- A handful of Wilkes faculty and administrators were in attendance Tuesday as Dr Les Turoczi, Professor of Biology, delivered this week's Faculty Forum presentation. Speaking to a group of approximately ten, Turoczi explained the process of genetic toxicology, a biological testing method which measures the affects of chemical agents upon heredity. "Genetic toxicology analyzes affects from the long perspective, not just the immediate, transient approach," he said. Genetic Toxicologists are most concerned with germinal mutations- changes in genetic structure which can be caused by the long-term affects of chemical agents within the environment. "Our principle focus is upon understanding the mechanisms of germinal mutations which can be passed on from generation to generation," said Turoczi. Turoczi expressed ·the need for proper cataloging of environmentally offensive agents. "Nothing happens in a vacuum," he said. "We all need , to become better environmental stewards by ensuring that proper safeguards are used appropriately." According to Turoczi, 1000 new chemicals are dumped into the biosphere each year, many without being genetically tested. "We often don't know what these chemicals can do as potential mutagens," he said. Finally, Turoczi warned the audience of those products marketed with the label "natural." "Many dietary pesticides are 99.9 percent natural, but aren't necessarily safe," he said. Intersession courses slated By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor INTERNSHIPS IN PENNSYLVANIA ST ATE GOVERN M The Commonwealth is an Equal Opportunity Employer ATTN : COMPUTER SCIENCE & ACCOUNTING MAJ WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes students interested in taking Intersession classes should begin the registration process as soon as possible, according to Dean John Meyers, Registrar Designate. "Although the formal registration date is December 12, students may register for Intersession at any time now," said Meyers. As for the fall and spring semesters, the Intersession registration process begins with pre-registration. Intersession courses, however, must be prepaid before students will be permitted to register. Therefore, students must first visit the Financial Management office in Sturdevant Hall. After payment, a receipt will be issued which is neccessary to complete the process at the registrar. Students may choose from a variety of courses, many of which are designed to meet University core requirements. Other courses are available for use as free electives, including several "topics" courses which offer alternative subject matter. "This year's Intersession offers something for everyone, " said Meyers. Selected courses include: Biology, "The Biology of Aids;" Earth and Environmental Science, "Hazardous Materials;" Nursing, "Community Health Nursing Among the Navajo;" Physical Education, "Skiing." Additionally, the German and Spanish Departments will offer study tours to Germany and Mexico City. Intersession will be held January 2nd through the 18th.

Dr. Capin Recognized for service By ANDREA SIL VI Beacon Copy Editor WILKES-BARRE- Robert S. Capin, President Emeritus of Wilkes University and Professor of Accounting, has been selected to receive the Community Service Award presented by the Seligman J. Strauss Lodge No. 139 of B'nai B'rith. B'nai B'rith, a community service organization which focuses upon combating racism and bigotry, presents the award each year to an outstanding citizen who has contributed to the community through leadership and dedication. Past recipients of this award include President Emeritus Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Robert A. Fortinsky, and Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Rifkin. The presentation of the Community Service award will take place at the B'nai B'rith Lodge's annual Lincoln Day Dinner on Sunday, February 10, 1991, at the Ramada Hotel on Public Square. According to David Schwager, a member of the B'nai B'rith Lodge, Dr. Capin's dedication has greatly contributed to the fabric of community life. "Dr. Capin has done more than his fair share through his service to both Wilkes and the community." Dr. Capin became Wilkes' third president in 1975 following twenty years of service to the school, both as a member of the faculty and administration.

A s I walk through campus, I often hear that there need to be some c-h anges here on campus and that the administration so often lends a deaf ear to the complaints and suggestions of students. The Wilkes Open Forum was organized last semester by a group of students in Small Group Communication taught by professor Jane Elmes-Crahall. There were many positive feelings from both students and administration concerning the forum, and many legitimate student concerns were expressed to the administration. 11 On Tuesday evening, Student Government sponsored the second Open Forum in Stark 101. Among those on the panel were President Breiseth, Dr. Waldner, Bill Hanigan, Dean Lampe, and 'myself. From the amount of complaints I had heard from students about certain school policies prior to the forum, I expected some fairly lively and possibly productive discussions concerning the university. Approximately 50 people attended the forum, about 15 different people spoke their concerns, including the M.C., and I noticed that about half the people left during the course of the forum. Is there so much apathy at Wilkes that students are unable to take the time to express their own personal opinions and suggestions directly with someone who may be able to help them or possibly give them some advice on what to do? The funny thing is that the people who do the most complaining did not show up. _ Is it that students feel that they can't make a difference at Wilkes? They can, actually. For example, an issue was raised at last semester's forum about the mouse problem at Pickering. The following day, an exterminator was contacted to take care of the problem. If students just don't care and don't want to get involved, they're only hurting themselves. The board members attending the forum are willing to discuss any and all problems, or else they wouldn't be there. All I can say is this: Those who failed to attend the forum and voice their opinions have no right or reason to complain. They had their chance on Tuesday, and they declined the invitation. I do, however, wish to thank and applaud those who did show up. These people not only showed that they have an interest in the university, but they also demonstrated that they are willing to work to institute changes at Wilkes. What about the rest of you?

All the hopes and fears of the cast subsided when the sash was thrown open and Blue Window weathered in a new era of talented actors as well as some seasoned veterans. The play, directed by Michael O'Neill, ran during the weekend of November 15-18. It opened without the presence of veteran actors Rob Johansen, Maureen O'Hara, and Ed Buonocore, who were mainstays during their tenure as students at Wilkes. However, Rob and Ed did appear in the Sunday audience, and their unique tones of laughter had an impact on the comedic moments of the play as they seemed to enhance the involvement of the audience on hand. · O'Neill returned to the helm after being away for two years doing theater projects in Poland. He had previously directed several Wilkes productions including What You Will, which won awards for best off-broadway play and best ensemble performance at the American College Theater Festival in New York in 1988. Blue Window is a contemporary comedy written by playwright Craig Lucas who also scripted the highly acclaimed Prelude to a Kiss which is currently running on broadway. The play can be described as a Chekov-type comedy where nothing happens, but everything happens. It's about people and their relationships and how they react differently in private settings as opposed to social situations. Window focuses on the insecurities of individuals who gather at an upper class party in New York during the late 1980's. The plot of Blue Window is a confusing one. It is intentionally written that way, almost in a puzzle configuration. The sets contained props that were designed as pieces which could be broken apart and fitted back together to form other types of furniture. At first, this aspect of the play was annoying, as the actors scurried around in the dark setting up the next scene. There were no curtains drawn between the three acts of the play, but one could come to realize the puzzle-like symbolism of this feature as it relates to the rest of the play. The apartment rQom settings, as well as the window and door frame props, were unique fixtures on stage as they either rolled into place or were raised and lowered with precision down onto the luminous stage. John Farley Swanson was responsible for the marvelous lighting effects which occured during the play, especially the visually stunning blend of colors which lit up a huge painting in the apartment backdrop. Strong performances were turned in by three returning Wilkes stars. Jason Dclcampe stood out as the life of the party, socially and solo, as he portrayed a sensitive character named Griever. He danced and frolicked in front of his mirror as he prepared for the Sunday afternoon party, mimicking lyrics on the stereo in an uproarious manner. Chrissy Brunnock and Gail P.

This is exactly what I had to do on Saturday, November 17, when attendi_!lg a performance of Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. Inspector Hound is a farce in which two critics (Wilkes' Jim E·vans and Kings' Eric Kawalski) are caught in the plot of a melodramatic thriller. The show is essentially a play within a play.

The King's players presented a somewhat lukewarm production of this comedy, providing some laughs and some disappointments. The Real Inspector Hound should be performed as high melodrama, unfortunately few of the actors executed this successfully. Of course, there are always exceptipns to the rule. As the critics, Evans and Kawalski were Evans was at his best when reveling in the fact senior critic Higgs may be dead and he may become reviewer.

Beacon Staff Writer If you haven't seen some of the players from the basketball team around campus lately, it probably means they are at an away game. The Colonels schedule has had them on the road for almost two months before coming back to the friendly confines of the Marts Center. . The tough road schedule began at the Shippensburg tournament where t_hey lost to Division II nationally-ranked Shippensburg before falling at the hands of West Liberty State, another Division II school. The Colonels did, however, regroup right before Thanksgiving break to win their first MAC game against Lycoming 86-68. In the game, Eric Lawson led the Colonels scoring attack with 23 points. Chris Patackis, Joe Natale, and Jimmy Burke also scored in double figures scoring 18, 17, and 12 points respectively. Lawson gave credit to the Colonels revamped inside game when asked about his scoring record against Lycoming. "When their defense started collapsing on our big men, it gave me room to shoot easy jump shots," Lawson said. Following the victory over Lycoming, the Colonels hit the road again when they visited the Drew Rangers Monday night. The Rangers' gym is so tough to play in that it has been nicknamed "The House of Blood" by many MAC coaches. The Colonels, however, ignored the fanatical crowd to post a 100-87 victory. The Colonels had a balanced scoring attack against the Rangers as five players achieved· double figures .in scoring. Lawson led the Colonels with 24 points, Burke had 15, and Natale tallied 14. Freshman Patackis had 17, two coming off a one handed follow up dunk, while John Harlan came off the bench to hit three big three-pointers and another bucket for a total of eleven points. Coach Ron Rainey spoke very highly of his young players. "Patackis did a great job scoring and rebounding, and Harlan gave us a spark coming off the bench. Phil Marko also did a good job when he played for Natale," Rainey said. The win over the Rangers not only evened the Colonels record at 2-2 (2-0 in the MAC), but it also came on the road, where wins are hard to come by in the MAC. Rainey was very pleased with his team's performance on the road. "This road win will give us a lot of confidence with a tough week coming up." The tough week ahead includes travelling down South Franklin Street to play the Monarchs of King's College tonight. Tip off is at 8:00 pm. "King's is the best team in the conference," said Rainey, "They are the defending Northern Division champs, and they will be tough to beat." Following the trip to King's, the Colonels will travel to F.D.U. - Madison on Saturday, and then to Messiah next week. Both contests are MAC tilts. So, if you happen to run into one of the Colonels basketball players on campus, enjoy the moment, because it won't be long before the team will be on the road again for another away game. as frus for the com1 opern with I Senior tonight MAC Honors Wingert and Team By RAY OTT Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - Head men's soccer coach Phil Wingert has been named the Middle Atlantic Conference's Northern Division coach of the year. Wingert edged out twelve other skippers, including Skip Roderick of number-one ranked Elizabethtown and Steve Klingman of the Unive(sity of Scranton, in the voting conducted by his peers. Wingert led the Colonels to a school record fifteen wins and the ECAC championship. "It's a very nice award," said Wingert, "I was really honored, and I think it _is a good reflection of the program and our players. It's a nice way to cap off a really good year." Wingert was not the only Colonel to bring home recognition for the fine season. Sophomore forward Paul Jellon was named to the first team all-MAC, while midfielders Ron Rainey and Phil Joyce were chosen as second team selections. Jcllon was the main cog in the Colonels offense, scoring 14 goals and 5 assists for 33 points. Jcllon is the first Wilkes player since 1973 to be named first team MAC. He was also the only sophomore to make the first team. "It's a really great honor," said Jellon, "But I realize if I didn't have the players I had around me I would have never made this." Rainey, a junior transfer from Virginia Tech, scored eight goals while recording eight assists for 24 points. Joyce, a sophomore, was cited mainly for the job he did defensively. "Phil always checked the other teams most talented midfielder," said Wingert, "I think the coaches in the league recognized his work ethic and the job he did defensively." -Three Colonels were also named to the MAC fall semester all-academic team. The criteria for this award are a 3.4 grade point average and a significant contribution as a starter or key reserve. Rainey, senior goalie Kevin Tronkowski, and junior back Chris Dahm were named to the all-academic squad. or student organization to pr Spring Break destinations fwl Earn free trips and commissi while gaining valuable business marketing experience.

At 150, Jason Eike lost to the infamous Nick Garone (Garone and his hand gestures visited the Marts Center two years ago when he was a member of the Syracuse . Orangeman). The Colonels then turned it on when they got to the meat of their order. Anthony Guidi, Merrel Neal, and Charlie Keyes won at 158, 167, and 177 respectively. "We knew our upper weights were our most experienced wrestlers and we had them come through for us," said Reese. The match was now tied at 13 with !90 pounder Reggie Stancil set to battle Pete Huntley. Stancil held a lead until 11 seconds remaining in the bout when he gave up a reversal and wound up drawing. That really hurt the Colonels, as they squandered a chance to go up 16-13 and come away with a tie at the worst. Instead, Wilkes would head into the heavyweight bout tied at 15. Heavyweight Dcaron Tufankjian then dropped a decision to Steve Sclandara, and the Colonels had their first loss of the season. Overall, Reese was happy with the weekend's happenings.

WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University will be host to over 500 visitors this Saturday as high school ·students and their parents attend the Department of Admissions' annual open house. Marc Davis, Dean of Admissions, believes this brief separation will be beneficial to the students. "We feel it's important that the students have time without their parents to talk with faculty about their major," he said. The guests will be greeted in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center by President Breiseth and Dr. George Waldner, Dean of Academic Affairs. After a short presentation, the students will be introduced to faculty in the Stark Leaming Center, while their parents attend a seminar present~d by Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Tours of the campus will be offered after the students and their parents meet together in Stark. "We would like to stress to the students that Wilkes is a comprehensive institution in the variety of majors it offers, yet is small enough in that it has quality," said Helen Barrett, Assistant Dean of Admissions. Residence Life, Financial Aid and Career Services will present workshops so that the students can gain a broader perspective of the student services offered at Wilkes. Wilkes students will be on hand to answer questions or to talk about campus and academic life. In this way, the high school students will be able to "view Wilkes through the eyes of its students," said Eleanor Rydzetski, office manager at Admissions. The day will close with a lecture held in the Darte Center concerning financial aid and admissions policy. Marc Davis and the admissions staff will be available afterwards to respond to questions or concerns of the families. �Nov. 15, 1990 PAGE2 Faculty discusses animal rig - By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor l'bolo by Vauetu, Sblnkus Linda Paul speaks to faculty members WCLHstaff visits NYC By MARY JO RUBINO Special to the Beacon WILKES-BARRE- Recently, members of the WCLH executive staff attended the College Music Journal Convention at the World Trade Center in New York City. The College Music Journal is a trade magazine for college radio which holds a convention each year. The students were able to sit in on .panels concerning programming, motivating station members, networking with other college radio stations, and financing, as well as other matters that are currently affecting college radio. The convention panels offered an open forum atmosphere allowing members from all radio stations to express their views on a particular topic. One of the main themes of the convention involved censorship since· this topic is of utmost concern to college radio due to recent happenings in the news, and it will continue as one of the main themes in the future. The students were also given the opportunity to meet representatives from record companies that they deal with on a day to day basis, and give them a better understanding of what WCLH is all about. In addition to the discussions about college radio, the students were able to see bands perform at different nightclubs every night through showcases offered by the convention. The staff members plan to implement some of the ideas from the convention into the functioning of WCLH.

Paul also objects to intensive animal agriculture, a process which involves the use of fattening agents and preservatives to over-develop livestalk for sale. "The use of intensive farming is clearly wrong in that it violates all rights without providing any kind of real benefit," she said. Audience members were given "The Realities of Animal-Based Agriculture," a pamphlet containing facts excerpted from Diet for a New America, a book by which addresses the problems meat-based diet. Robbins was Baskin Robbins, a multi-milli cream chain, but he turned it don enviornmental problems co dairy industry.

All freshmen must pregister with their advisor s. By SEAN REILLY Special to the Beacon WILKES-BARRE -Since the beginning of the semester, the Wilkes community has put more of an effort into recycling aluminum and paper products. Many people, however, stiH wonder why Wilkes is required by law to recycle. Recycling is an economical way of reducing the amount of waste that goes to the landfills, and it saves the virgin natural resources which are used to make those materials. If we, as Americans, were to continue our wasteful patterns, in ten years, one third of all the country's landfills would be full. This past summer Governor Casey signed the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling, and Waste Reduction Act, establishing recycling as the law in Pennsylvania. This law makes it necessary for President Breiseth and Gerry Cookus join Wilkes students Pho1obyDa1eNat Wilkes to recycle three or more items. Wilkes has established the policy of recycling office paper, aluminum, Wilkes has established the and mulching its lawn clippings.

THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKEOUl �PAGES Nov. 15, 1990 ~ing ,hootin ;tin th wning nsible You've entered... The Smoking Zone You are on a journey beyond smell and taste. Your lungs are filling up and you find yourself coughing _and hacking for want of clean air. Nothing tastes or smells right. Your eyes are teary. Even your clothes smell funny. You have just entered...the "Smoking Zone." F unny as this scenario may seem. it is frighteningly true. Smoking is like playing Russian Roulette, except the cigarette pack is your revolver. You just can't tell when your luck will run out and you will kill yourself. Not only is smoking a major health hazard. but it is also a nuisance, especially to non-smokers. The acrid smell of the smoke is enough to ruin your appetite in a restaurant, make you absolutely reek with the distinct odor of a cigarette, as well as cause possible physical harm to the non-smoker breathing in cigarette smoke. There have been a considerable amount of complaints coming from smokers about non-smoking policies established by restaurants, airlines, airports. trains. movie theaters, etc. Smokers contend they are being discriminated against. and they feel it isn't fair that they can't smoke where and when they want to. However, smokers don't seem to realize that their smoke is not only annoying to the non-smokers. but it is also .... causing possible harm to their bodies. If the non-smokers wanted to breathe in the smoke. they would have become smokers themselves. Today is the day for the Great American Smokeout. On this day of the year, all participating smokers are asked to throw away their cigarettes for one day. There will be gum and candy provided in Stark Lobby for those who need a helping hand throughout the day. Those participating who make it through the day without a smoke have good reason to be commended because smoking is considered to be an addiction. A smoker who makes the effort to quit smoking altogether as a result of the smokeout deserves an "Al" rating. So let's see how many members of the Wilkes community can quit for just one day. Go for it! We're all behind you! JCL �PAGE6 · Nov. 15, 1990 . Alias storm ,approachin By ANDREA SIL VI Beacon Copy Edi.tor Rock group Alias, composed of lead vocalist Freddy Curci, guitarists Steve DeMarchi and Roger Fisher, drummer Michael Derosier, and bassist Steve Fossen, is currently storming its way up the national charts with its newest release, "More Than Words Can Say." Coming off ~n extensive Canadian tour where its self-titled EMI debut album has struck gold, the band, made up of ex-members of Heart and Sheriff, is now appearing across North America as special guests of REO Speedwagon. The group will make its debut appearance in the Wilkes-Barre. area on Saturday, November 17 at 8 p.m. at the Kirby Center with REO. Alias got its start back in 1988 when ex-Sheriff vocalist Freddy Curci and guitarist Steve DeMarchi joined together and began work on their debut album in a 16 track studio which they set up in DeMarchi's basement. The band got the break it needed when it was suddenly catapulted back into the public eye by the success of an old Sheriff tune, "When I'm With You," which soared up to the #1 spot on the Billboard charts. While recording in Los Angeles, Curci and DeMarchi met up with ex-Heart drummer Michael Derosier and eventually included Steve Fossen and Roger Fisher to complete the line-up. Alias' sound is one of energy and agression. "This is real kick-ass rock 'n' roll," said Curci. Alias will be at the Kirby Center on Saturday DeMarchi adds, "It's honest, sincere, and These songs are the real thing - - they're the of our own experiences." DeMarchi feels public will be especially receptive to the music because their lyrics really hit home. that people will be able to relate to them most of us have all been through periods luck, broken romances, and life at the lo he said. Alias' sincere and diversified sound is on all of the tracks, from the hard-hitting "Say What I Want To Say," "The Po "Haunted Heart," to emotional ballads like For Love," and "More Than Words CanS Curci hopes that the band can eventuall off' the influence of the members' former order to create a new image in the music· "We don't want to be regarded as the members of Sheriff or Heart, but as ab band with a new album, and a new pers ' said.

Then come to the Community Room of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, South Franklin Street across from Boscov's, in downtown Wilkes-Barre on November 23rd. They'll be opening their doors to the sound of a lighter side of the blues with a mixture of country music featuring Roy Book Binder, guitar wizard. Imagine meeting and listening to someone who shared the stage with grammy award winner, Bonnie Raitt. Roy Book Binder has been in the limelight with stars such as Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Crow, B.B. King, and John Hartford. Binder is listed in Sheldon Harris' encyclopedia "the Blues Who's Who" and is a regular guest on the TNN Cable Network program, "Nashville Now." Adding to his accomplishments Book Binder has just released his fifth record,"Bookeroo!". . Book Binder can be described as a fingerpicking guitar wizard with a laid-back, warm and witty vocal style. His music blends old-time country with traditional blues, some folk, and a bit of Tin Pan Alley. Not only will Binder impress with his singing but he will fascinate with his spellbinding storytelling abilities, telling "tall" tales about the men who wrote the songs he sings. When asked why he weaves storytelling in with his music he says, "There's so much more to music than notes; there are stories to tell. I do a song for a reason, and people enjoy hearing why." So for a change on Friday night "Bookeroo" on over to St. Stephen's at 8:30 and enjoy the Chicory House presentation, Roy Book Binder for an evening of song, storytelling, and refreshments.

Last week Showcase theater opened a run of Lion in Winter (unfortunately, this weekends performances have been canceled due to the illness of one of its cast members). Brighton Beach Memoirs opened a two-week run at the little theater. There are two productions that have weekend runs at Wilkes University and King's College. The Real Inspector Hound opened at King's last night under the direction of Karl Wagner. This farce, by playwright Tom Stoppard, contains murder, melodrama, and mystery. Featured among the cast is Wilkes sophomore James Evans. He and Eric Kawaleski portray theater critics that -are involved in a plot that contains more twists than a rollercoaster ride. Inspector Hound runs tonight through Saturday with curtain time being 8 p.m. each night. Blue Window opens tonight at 8 p.m. at the Dorothy Darte Center on the Wilkes campus and will play every night through Saturday, except on Sunday when it will start at 2 p.m. "Doc" O'Neill directs this version of a Craig Lucas comedy.

The cast includes Jason Delcampe, Jessica Materna, John McGlauhlin, Chrissy Brunnock, Sean Riley, Gail Stone, and Melanie O'Donnell. The action of this play takes place in five seperate New York apartments, therefore, giving it a jigsaw puzzle effect.

Steele and the Undead By MARY JO RUBINO Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE- Bobby Steele, formerly of the Misfits visited WCLH this past weekend to promote the upcomin·g concert featuring Bobby Steele's band, The Undead. Bobby Steele played in the Misfits for two years during the late 70's and early 80's. The misfits became one of the biggest groups in underground music. Bobby's creative style got the better of him, and he decided to leave The Misfits and form his own band, The Undead, with Bobby Sean Reilly and Jessica Materna will appear in Blue Wi weekend at Wilkes writing most of the music and lyrics. The Undead put out several 45's on the record label Stiff Records. Bobby Steele then started his own record label, Post Mortem Records, in order to promote and distribute The Undead records. The Undead currently have two records out on Post Mortem Records. The first record, "Never Say Die", is a collection of songs previously released on their 45's. The second record, "Act Your Rage", came out in 1989 and did well on college radio. Right now, The U11dead is down to one member, Bobby Steele himself, but Bobby gets friends to help out for performances. He is planning to put out a CD next year compiling both the "Never Say Die" and "Act Your Rage" albums. Check out Bobby Steele with The Undead, as well as The Fiendz, On-Life, and Positive Energy this Sunday night, November 18, at the L&S Skate-O-Rama in Nanticoke.

Wolfman Jack was spinning your favorite oldies as new releases. The guys had their hair slicked back and cigarettes rolled in their white tee-shirts. The girls, with poodle skirts and tight sweaters, were riding shotgun in their favorite guy's car. And the Wilkes wrestling team, in their blue and gold tights, suffered a losing season. The last losing season in 36 years. But according to Wilkes head man John Reese, that streak could be in jeopardy this season. "The good news about this year is that we had 56 people come out for the team and we still have 44 practicing with us," said Reese, the winningest active coach in the Division I ranks. "The bad news is that we don't have much experience. We are really young, my youngest team in my 38 years at Wilkes, and 60% of our team is freshmen and sophomores." Reese isn't ready to throw in the towel just yet, however. This squad does feature senior stars Merrel Neal and Charlie Keyes. He firmly believes this squad will turn out to be a good one. But the question is, when? "We have a lot of talent to work with," said Reese. "I'm also pleased with the work ethic and enthusiasm of this group. We could grow into a tough team, but I'm not sure when. It is going to be tough competing with Army, Navy, Syracuse, and Lehigh, with all their experience." Last Saturday night the Colonels rolled out the mats and decided to find some answers as they held their annual wrestle offs. Men's Basketball In the first bout of the night, the 118 pound division, two sophomores, Bob Hawkins and Chris Ricard squared off. With the sc;ore tied at two, Ricard made a move but missed, Hawkins countered with a two point move and a 6-4 win. "We thought that would be a close match," said Reese. "Both of the guys at this spot have a lot of talent." In the 126 pound bout, Dave Russo, a Massachusetts state champ, knocked off Ray Markulucs in a 6-4 decision. The 134 pound division featured Mike Froelich and Greg Schaefer. Froelich, coming off an injury-plagued season last year, looked strong in gaining a technical fault. "Mike seems like he is over all of his injuries," said Reese. "We think he will be one of the better 134 pounders in the East. He is very strong, and we are looking for a big year from him." At the 142 pound weight, freshman Mike Evans smacked sophomore Ron Miller 8-2. "This was a little bit of a surprise," said Reese. "We thought this match would have been closer, but I think Miller was nervous. But that's what happens when the lights go on." The 150 pound match pitted juniors Jason Eike and Eric Feese, who carries a 4.0 GPA in biology. Eike won 7-6. "It was a very good match," said Reese. "Both guys should be very competitive at that weight." The 158 pound class had sophomore Anthony Guidi beating up on freshmen Isreal Medina. "We are looking for a good year from Anthony," stated Reese about the West Virginia transfer. "He has talent and some experience." The 167 and 177 pound weights will be this year's strongest weights, featuring co-captains Merrel Neal and C respectively. "Merrel was third in the Eastems last year and I think !hi confidence," said Reese. "He is looking really good this year.' "Charlie will be one of the better 177 pounders in the stays healthy he will have a good year." The 190 pound match had Reggie Stancil knocking Tufankjian in a closer than indicating 8-2 score. At heavyweight, Aaron's brother Dearon defeated the Darren Hack 6-4. Look for the Tufankjian brothers to both bump down before the season is over and Hack to see plenty of time at hea , "The eliminations are the toughest part of the season,' "The kids should realize this isn't the end of the world and k hard."

Beacon Sports Writer WILKES-BARRE--- The Wilkes Colonels basketball team, after losing three senior starters from last year, will sport a new look when they begin the 1990 season. The loss of Jimmy Nolan, the school's all-time leading scorer, Dave Argentati, and Tom Doughty has not deterred the Colonels. · "We've had a good pre-season thus far, everyone is enthusiastic and excited about the upcoming season," said he:ad coach Ron Rainey, who enters his sixth year at the helm of the Colonels. Rainey hopes his two returning starters, Ray Ott and Joe Natale will provide leadership for the Colonel team which sports eleven freshmen. Ott, who will be the captain for the Colonels, will man the point guard spot. Although not a flashy player, Ott plays solid defense and does not make many turnovers. He is like a coach on the floor when running the offense. His back-up will be junior Jeff Gregory, who uses excellent court awareness when he substitutes for Ott. At the shooting guard will be senior Eric Lawson, who will be one of the Colonels main three point shooting threats. Splitting time with Lawson will be Jim Burke, a senior who transfered from Susquehanna. Burke may be the Colonels best pure shooter and he will be counted on for offensive spark coming off the bench. At small forward Rainey looks to start sophomore John Harlan, who sat out last season. Although Harlan missed a whole season of play, he hasn't missed a beat in the pre-season, combining hustle and a good shooting touch to claim a starting position. Rainey also spoke of a new look for the offense this year. Unlike last year, when the majority of the scoring came from the perimeter, this year's squad will look inside. "We will have a more inside-oriented team this year with Natale, Chris and Jeff Patackis, Tom Sheplock, and our other big men making us stronger offensively and defensively," said Rainey. Right now it looks like freshman Chris Patackis, who plays physical inside, will start for the Colonels at power forward. His starting mate at center will be Natale, last year's MAC rookie of the year. In his second season, Natale has shown improvement. "I feel more comfortable this season," said Natale. "I think I know what to expect this year. I'm a little stronger and have improved my inside moves over the summer which may help me this year." For the first time in many years, Rainey will have a deep bench for his inside players. Sophomore transfer Jeff Patackis and freshmen Tom Sheplock will give the Colonels two big men to solidify the frontcourt. John Mahasky, Rob Simmons, and Rob Graboske will also look for time under the boards. Rainey _also feels former Coughlin star Phil Marko will help the team in the future, once he hand injury. Not only do the Colonels have depth insi also have a solid group of players to help in the Returners Rick Butler and John Quinn show p two will be joined by freshmen Corby Sw Douglas, Bobby Hickey, Jeremy Rupnik, Joe F Andy Petroski. Soccer players Tom Nalley and have also joined the team recently. How have the freshmen fit in so far this pre "They're holding their own and working far," said Ott. "We need the young guys to for us if we are to be competitive." Also returning to the Colonels in his second assistant will be former Scranton All-A Andrejko.

That victory set the stage for Sunday's match-up with Frostburg St., a team with a 14-5 record who had just beaten Gettysburg 4-1 in the other E.C.A.C. semi-final. The game was played before the vocal home crowd which had helped the Colonels throughout the year. "This year the student and parent support was great. It seemed like our fans would start cheering at the opening whistle and wouldn't stop for ninety minutes," said head coach Ph:! Wingert. In the opening minutes of the title game, the Colonels let the Bobcats play a ball control game. But, as time went on, Wilkes began stringing passes together and started many dangerous attacks at the goal.

The event is the end result of months of coordination and planning by the Career Services Office. Since the ultimate goal of the event is to help students obtain job placement, it is difficult to determine its success until after graduation, through exit surveys and jnterviews, . Career Day is part of a continuing process which includes interviewing workshops, resume development, and informative video presentations. According to Director of Career Services Gene Domzalski, "Today's economic conditions can make finding a job more difficult. Career Services exists to increase a student's chance of placement in his field." Through the Career Services office, a student is able to research prospective employers and possibly even set up a preliminary interview. Preparation on the part of the student is neccessary, however, to foster a healthy development of the job search. According to Domzalski, "Self assessment is the key to obtaining a successful career. Through a pa,rtnership with Career Services, the student can prepare himself for the employment process." Career Services has proven to be a success, as evidenced through alumni surveys. "Over the past five years, approximately 90 percent of Wilkes students have gained full-time employment or have attended graduate school after leaving Wilkes," said Domzalski. �Nov. 8, 1990 PAGE2 ACP conference featured speaker u Publisher speculates future of newspa By ANDREA SILVI Beacon Copy Editor WASHINGTON, D.C.- USA Today Publisher Cathleen Black told an audience of prospective journalists that, despite the discouraging outlook of critics, there is a bright future for the newspaper industry. Beacon staff members were among approximately two thousand collegiate journalists in attendance at this past weekend's Associated College Press and College Media Advisors' convention in the nation's capital. Speaking to an audience of approximately two hundred, Black said, "In regard to the future of newspapers ... there will be one." Black opened her speech with a brief history of USA Today, demonstrating that the publication has surpassed the less than optimistic expectations of its critics. In response to critics who painted a dim picture of the future of USA Today, Black recited Mark Twain's expression: '"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated."' According to Black, Critics predicted the "death" of USA Today since its inception in 1982. The paper was criticized for it's flashy design and content which includes the use of color on a regular basis. Many critics also disapproved of its upbeat approach to the news, and USA Today earned the nickname "McPaper." USA Today has since gone on to prove its critics "dead" wrong, Black said. The publication has been the number one daily in the U.S. for six years, and its circulation includes 1.8 million copies each day, Monday through Thursday, and 2 million copies on Friday for the paper's weekend edition. The paper's success is based upon its appeal to the younger generation, and its special concentration on the needs of the reader, according to Black. "USA Today presents news and information in such a way as to appeal to the many people and faces of the USA. We're what's known as a 'reader friendly newspaper,"' she said. Black then went on to indicate that the success of a publication like USA Today proves there is a bright future for the newspaper industry in general. Black stated that advances in editorial diversity, technology, ownership, global influence, and increased public accountability will catapult D.C.- Capitol provided backdrop for convention the newspaper industry into the future. According to Black, editorial diversity Black also stated that ownership of newspa has made USA Today a more reader-oriented publishing companies will continue to change, newspaper, and she feels that all publications companies to expand internationally.

This new addition to Wilkes' academic agenda will allow students to gain insight into the important roles of women in society. Beginning in the spring, Women's Studies will be offered as an interdisciplinary minor requiring 18 credit hours. This new minor adds an important dimension to any major with its unique perspective. It gives students an idea of how women's contributions have changed and are still changing various academic, scientific, business, and professional fields. While emphasizing the experiences and contributions of women throughout time, Women's Studies also recognizes gender as a factor which has shaped intellectual traditions, political issues, and social changes.

Studds reacted by saying, "I cannot help but wonder how many more Defense Department studies of this nature await our discovery." Studds stated that the Pentagon's report, combined with the lobbying of anti-discrimination groups in Washington, could cause Congress to reexamine military policies which govern the recruitment and retention of gays and lesbians. Although these winds of change are taking place across the country, there are still some stories of harassment of homosexuals, particularly lesbian women in the Navy. The aforementioned report states that, "with the influx of women on our ships and throughout the Navy in general, it is necessary to address the sensitive issue of female homosexuality and ensure equal treatment of male and female homosexuals. The Sappho's Isle, a newspaper written for lesbian women, stated that it is three times more likely for a lesbian woman to be discharged from the service than a gay male. Despite this, the report continues to say, "There is a perception by many that female homosexuality is somewhat tolerated, while male homosexuality is dealt with swiftly and sternly." · National Organization for Women (NOW) President Molly Yard called the memo, "a clear example of the military's homophobic, sexist bigotry. Clearly, elements in the military still chafe at the success of women in its ranks," she said. The report also stated that homosexual women were willing to put in longer hours, and were hard working and career oriented. The Navy contends, however, that homosexual women could be intimidating to "the young, often vulnerable" female sailors. As a result of a protest of gay, lesbian, and bisexual veterans in Washington D.C. earlier this year, an agenda was formed to discontinue ROTC programs on the nation's colleges and universities. This project has already met with some success, and several campuses have shut down their ROTC programs this year. Miriam hen-Shalom, chairman of the organization, stated that the project is "the most important thing happening on this issue today." Religion in public schools ,ers must ments. Teach kids the 'G' word? iJlpse of ·ng busi 1eartach pit of lu By JIM CASTELLI Apple College Information Network A new history textbook series will tell elementary school pupils something recent editions haven't. It will tell them that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving to thank God for their blessings. That unsurprising fact is just the sort of thing that's been missing from the nation's public school classrooms for almost a generation. Teachers, administrators and publishers have shied away from any mention of religion or God - what some educators call "the G-word." But all of that is changing. Educators say there's still a long way to go, but schools all across the country are putting information about religion - not religious devotion - back into the public schools. end of mo ~ni versi ties I~ has initi ~~am.

Boyer says the silence stemmed from confusion about what should be taught and "a genuine concern that to discuss religion in the classroom might be viewed as indoctrination, or a violation of the fundamental principles of the Constitution. "The problem," Boyer says, "is that this silence has led many to conclude that public schools are, at the very least, indifferent to religion or, at the very most, actively opposed." dor. nts may c dinating !>n.

The educational reform movement of the 1980s sparked interest in teaching about religion. Critics ranging from conservatives such as then-Secretary of Education William Bennett to liberals, such as the organization People for the American Way, agreed textbooks ignored religion. 'The most significant state development so far" in teaching religion in public schools is a new curriculum framework adopted in California in 1987, says Diane Berreth, deputy director, the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development in Alexandria, Va. Charlo.tte Crabtree, a UCLA education professor and director of the National Institute for History in the Schools, says California schools now must teach about subjects such as the history of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism; the influence of Puritanism on colonial America; and the role of the churches in the 1960s civil rights movement. Despite such initiatives, the lack of training for teachers to teach about religion is a major problem, according to Charles Haynes, executive director of the new First Liberty Institute. The institute will train teachers and instruct others in training teachers at the local level. Stewart Dopp, an English teacher at Edison High School in Fairfax County, uses the Bible in literature classes to teach literary forms, themes and illusions. "I've had students who have initially expressed concern," Dopp says, "but they were fine once they real ized nothing was going to be imposed on them." ■ Thursday Scholarship Donors Luncheon, Marts Cente r Sophomore Reg ist ration M-R - 8:30 a.m. - noon S-Z - 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. BACCHUS Meeting , 11 a.m. WUPB Meeting , 11:30 a.m. WCLH Staff Meeting , 11 :15 a.m. �Nov. 8, 1990 PAGE4 Behave like a gentle_ma By KRIST A RAMSEY Apple College Information Network Until this fall, Wabash College, an 158-year-old, all-male institution in Crawfordsville, Ind. had one rule of behavior - a single entry in · ' f d t Its c00e o con uc . Be have as a gen tleman. That was it. No extra chatter about scuffles or curfews. True gentlemanly behavior, college administrators assumed, made anything else redundant. This year, however, the federal government has forced colleges receiving federal grants to spell out sanctions on alcohol and drug use. It is the only addendum to the school's code of conduct. Still, the students politely resented it. For more than 150 years, Wabash men had been trusted to make their own decisions on social and moral dilemmas. Who was the federal government to decide differently now? Recently, I traveled the 150 miles to Crawfordsville to talk with Wabash men about the Gentleman's Rule, as it is traditionally known. I was fascinated that, in an age laden with laws and litigation, a college would dare set such vague behavioral expectations. Nowhere, for example, does the conduct code spell out what a gentleman is. Instead, in his four years at Wabash, a young man is expected to struggle with that definition, decide the matter for himself, then live up to his own expectations. Not one of the young men I talked to maintained it was easy. In fact, while the word gentleman seems charmingly archaic to most of us, it has the power to make a Wabash man flinch. The word has forced him to examine human behavior, then to h h h. lf raise a moral yardstick and see ow e Imse measures up to it. Some stud~nts I talked to defined the term, first, illllllillllil in terms of etiquette opening doors for women, giving up seats, avoiding fisticuffs. Like Kevin Costner in Bull Durham, senior Rich Calacci teased, "A gentleman? Someone who loves baseball, reads Shakespeare and stands up for an introduction." But I dug a little deeper and more sincere definitions surfaced, intense and strongly held. For junior Keith Veal, it meant challenging the least display of racism; for senior Tim Oliver, living out The Beacon The Registered Nurse Scholarship Loan Program at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Wl-tke.& (J,u,a,e,r&U~' & We,ek,t~ VOL. 43 NO. 7 NOVEMBER 8, 1990 Rated os a First Cla.ss newspainr with one mark. of distinction by th, Associal,d CoU.gial, Press 1990-91 EDITORIAL STAFF JOHN T.

For the better part of three months, these troops have been on guard standing up to dictator Saddam Hussein and ready to defend against an attack. With the holidays rapidly approaching, the situation remains at a stalemate in the Gulf, and there is little hope that our tr?ops wi!l ~e home in time for the Christmas holidays, even 1f there 1sn t war. The troops have been in the Persian 9u1f area si~ce A~gust and have been living three long months in the Saudi Arabian heat, with the endless sight of sand and t~oug_hts of their homes and loved ones. In this depressing situation, a letter from home is one of the things a serviceman most looks forward to. Although letters are getting to the troops, despite all of the censors at the Saudi border, the news corning out of the States hasn't. been very good lately. The once valiant backing by the Am~ncan pubhc for the troops has deteriorated into opposition against the government in regard to U.S. policy in the Gulf. As a result, the troops can feel only the hatred and resentment ot: protest instead of love and caring. These feelings, mixed with thoughts of not being with their families for the Christmas holidays, are the perfect recipe for an all-time low morale. There is something we as Americans can do to alleviate some of the troubles of our servicemen. We can send the troops who are defending our freedom greetings of Christmas cheer. All that is asked of you is one letter, one Christmas card, or even one dollar to make a so1dier's Christmas a littie more bearable. . The W,ilkes community has a reputation for getting involved with good causes in both the community and the country. For example, the St. Vincent DePaul soup kitchen for the homeless sponsored by SG, the project to help house the ~omeless, ~n~ _project yellow ribbon. When project yellow nbbon was 1mt1ated, bows were tied on obiects around campus J immediately following its announcement. Opera_tion "Sandy Claus", as this program has been named, will allow members of the Wilkes community to demonsti:ate the sa~e ty~e of support they showed in ~roject yellow nbbon. With this new operation, Wilkes studerf~s. faculty, and staff can show how concerned thev are about our troops in the Persian Gulf. So let's find the time to tell the American troops in Saudi Arabia how much we care about them and how much we appreciate their efforts.

One seat in a small home in Dallas, PA, will be empty this Christmas- the seat usually occupied by A VCM Lou Raddle. Try to imagine a desert with 105-degree temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures at night. This is not an ideal Christmas scenario. There are, however, people in the community who are doing their best to erase the unpleasantness of this Christmas for our soldiers in the Persian Gulf. Boscov's Department Store, Wilkes-B,;me, has generously donated many Christmas items, ranging from trees and decorations to candy canes and other stocking-stuffers, to our troops in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, Boscov's co-workers have united in a special effort of their own. Each Boscov's employee involved "adopts" a serviceman and sends him or her a Christmas stocking stuffed with various novelty items. "Many of our employees have family members who are serving our country in the Gulf," said Matthew Hanlon, a Wilkes student employed by the Boscov's Public Relations Department.

Concerts will be presented on Friday, November 16 at the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre and Saturday, November 17 at the Masonic Temple in Scranton. Both performances begin at 8 p.m. Stargell will be featured as the narrator of Copland's A Lincoln Portrait , a work which presents a dramatic musical setting of some of the most stirring speeches by one of America's greatest presidents. Willie Stargell is best known as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates' 1971 and 1979 World Series Championship teams, but his reputation as a speaker has grqwn rapidly since his retirement from baseball. His symphonic credits include repeat engagements with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the Buffalo Philharmonic and Syracuse Symphony as well as performances at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center. In addition, he often lectures at colleges and universities. In 1982, he recorded A Lincoln Portrait and Joseph Schwantner's New Morning for the World with the Eastman Philharmonia. In honor of Copland's 90th birthday on November 14, the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic will also present two other works by America's greatest living composer. Fanfare for the Common Man will open the program. This is probably Copland's most recognizable work due to its use at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984. Copland's Symphony No. 3 which features the music from the Fanfare to the Common Man in the final movement will conclude the concert. Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings will follow the Fanfare. This work is also well recognized due to its use as the powerful soundtrack in two popular films of the 1980's, Platoon and Elephant Man .. It was also the music used at the funeral of Princess Grace. John Philip Sousa's Semper Fide/is and Charles Ives' Decoration Day will complete the program. The Ives composition is a musical depiction of Memorial Day festivities in a small New England town. This piece contains familiar hymn tunes and 19th century songs including "Taps" and "O Come All Ye Faithful." It is most appropriate that this piece is programmed on the concert as it was a favorite of Aaron Copland. Tickets for this performance range from $11 to $24 and can be purchased by calling the Philharmonic at 287-1916 or 342-0920. Students receive a 50% discount on all tickets. In addition, anyone purchasing tickets with cash between 6 and 7 p.m. on the evening of the performance will receive a 50% discount on best available seats.

Sure he had a strong nucleus of returning players and a promising group of youngsters. But there were still many problems to worry about. With all of the returning talent, would there be enough balls to go around? What if somebody got hurt, or more specifically, would goalie Kevin Tronkowski's bionic knees hold up? And then there was that road trip to Virginia again. The one that resulted in two early season losses last season. But this season was different. This year's edition of the Colonels soccer squad featured no ball-guzzling or glory-seeking players. This year's squad moved the ball with all the precision of a brain surgeon. A school record for most goals in a season was no coincidence. Kevin Tronkowski's bionic knees made it through his senior season. Tronkowski and his defensive cohorts always ensured the Colonels of being in every ball game. And that trip down to Thomas Jefferson country? This year's squad came back with an important split. Yes, Virginia, this season was destined to be a special one from the start. Wingert's guarded optimism was transformed into absolute joy Sunday afternoon as the final horn sounded and the Colonels had defeated a pesky Frostburg St. team by a 2-0 margin. "Coming into the season I was cautiously optimistic because we had a lot of upperclassmen returning," said Wingert. "We knew we were coming off a decent record last year, and we had a chance to do the same this year if we played to our potential. We had a pretty tough schedule because we thought we could handle it, at least we were hoping we could do well. The early season trip to Virginia turned out to be a good indicator for the entire season. After dropping a 2-1 decision to Christopher Newport, the Colonels bounced back with a 3-2 win over Randolph-Macon. The Colonels then returned East and crushed Baptist Bible 8-1. But they knew the real test would be in the next two games. The big boys were on deck. Scranton and Messiah. "Even though we lost both gomes, we thought we had played well," said Wingert. "Our record was 2-3 at the time, but we realized how well we played and it was at this point that we realized we would have a good season." Wingert must have been looking into his crystal ball because the booters proceeded to reel off eight straight victories. S uddenly people were whispering M.A.C. championship. The whispering turned into screams on October 16th when the Drew Rangers rolled into Ralston Field to waltz with the Colonels. In the end, it was Wilkes who left the dance unhappy, as Drew prevailed 1-0. "We had a chance to tie for the M.A.C. championship with a win in this ballgame," said Wingert. "We were well prepared, but we still got shutout." Unfortunately for the Colonels, the loss would be a costly one. With NCAA tournament bids right around the comer, Wingert's troops were a definite longshot. "We knew the NCAA would take four teams from Pennsylvania and they would be choosing from a pool of eight," said Wingert. The Colonels turned out to be one of the eight in contention, but not one of the four chosen by the NCAA selection committee. "Three of the eight teams in contention had beaten us already, and the selection committee really looks at scores for comparison," said Wingert. "This was the first year Wilkes was ever considered for a bid, so that might have been held against us a little also." So it was off to the E.C.A.C tournament for the second straight season. "The E.C.A.C. tournament is the next best thing, sort of like the NIT tournament in basketball," said Wingert. "The bid really generates excitement among the players and gains recognition for the program and the University. For the second straight season, Wilkes would face the Greyhounds from Moravian in the tournament opener. The Colonels already owned a regular season victory over the Greyhounds. More of a reason for Wingert to be guardedly optimistic. "I didn't know if we could beat them twice in a year," said Wingert. "But we were a mature team and they were a young one. Our guys came in confident, and I don't think their guys were sure they could stay with us." The Greyhounds' worst fears became rcali~ scorer Paul Jell en knocked home his 14th goal of to give Wilkes a 1-0 halftime lead. But the young Moravian unit would ans early in the second half, knotting the score al one. It was time for a gut check. The Colonels passed. Senior captain Mike Lenczycki scored biggest goal of his career with eight minutes giving the Colonels a 2-1 victory and a championship game against Frostburg St. "This was a very physical game," said· Rainey. "Last year they beat us twice and thisy to them. The difference in this ball game was we on our offensive chances." Frostburg St. was next. The one learn chance to put a damper on a story-book season. "We knew nothing about them," said Win they had beaten Gettysburg to advance, and I h who coaches them and he gave us a little scouting This one was tight all the way. Wilkes drew when junior halfback Steve Moloney took a Le and converted it for a 1-0 lead. "Mike hit a good corner pass and I outran said Moloney. "I went along the baseline and the near post. Little did anyone know, that would be all would need. Wingert probably knew, but he was to optimistic to say anything. So Lenczycki came through again, putting the cake with three minutes remaining. "It was just a great feeling," said Wingert first soccer championship ever." Wingert has his group of seniors to th Tronkowski, Lenczycki, sweeper Craig Larimer, Doug Albertson, midfielder Chris Schenefiel~ Horbacz will all be deeply missed next year. "Our seniors were a real key force for us said Wingert. "They were mature and were lead real good job helping the younger players." Despite these losses, Wingert's cup board be bare. He returns midfielders Rainey and Phil with Jellon and Moloney offensively. The de£ anchored by Brian Loy. So is Wingert going to make a prediction fll You can be guardedly optimistic againslit Soccer team ·emerges Champs Continued from page 1 ten minutes to go in the second half. Moloney beat a defender on the right side of the goal and then blasted a shot off the goalie which ricocheted into the net. In the second half, the defense took over and stymied the Bobcats' offense. Kevin Tronkowski got the shutout for the Colonels, and he was assisted by defenders Brian Loy, Craig Larimer, Doug Albertson, and Chris Dahm. The Colonels also added an insurance goal with three minutes left in the game as Lenczycki fired a thirty-yard volley past the Bobcats' goalie. Then the celebration began. Wilkes coach Phil Wingert was pleased with his veteran team. "It was a great way to end a great season. This year's six seniors seemed destined to have an outstanding year and they did," Wingert said. Now, when the Colonels look back on their 1990 campaign, they can lay claim to something not many teams in the country can say at the season's conclusion.

"Many people believe that hunger is caused by overpopulation, drought or other natural disasters or that it is a result of laziness or incompetence," said Ned Smith, liason with Interfaith Fellowship, "but, Oxfam America teaches that hunger is mainly caused by government policies and aid programs that increase the dependency of poor people and countries." "Oxfam America is an organization which focuses on long-term development and not just on 'quick-fix' short term solutions," said Barberio. "It helps empower people by teaching them techniques which will allow them to gain control over their lives," he said. Founded in 1970, Oxfam America is a nonprofit, international agency that funds self-help development and disaster relief projects in poor region.s of Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean.

WILKES-BARRE- Wilkes University hosted its first successful big-act concert last Friday as a crowd of over 1,600 people packed the Marts Center to witness the 10,000 Maniacs in-concert. Opening for the group was a duo consisting of former Maniac rhythm guitarist, John Lombardo, and Mary Ramsey. Following this 30 minute introduction, the New York-based band began their act with a short documentary about their home town of Jamestown. The band went on to play for nearly two hours, performing a variety of songs from their 1987-released album, "In My Tribe" and "Blind Man's Zoo," released just last year. The driving lyrics of the group's music created an energetic atmosphere among the diverse audience of teen's, college students, and older individuals. Natalie Merchant, the Maniac's lead singer, celebrated her 27th birthday at the concert, dancing around a cake as the crowd united in a chorus of "Happy Birthday." After two encores, the Maniacs concluded the concert with "Verdi Cries" a ballad from the"In My Tribe" album. ' "The concert had an incredible turnout, both in attendance and in preparation for the event," said Nicolette Yevich Ticket Chairperson for the concert. "Over 700 student ticke'ts were sold, making this concert one of the largest Programming Board-sponsored events in Wilkes' history," she said. !he success of this concert will pave the way for larger acts m the future, according to Craig Larimer, Programming Board President. "Student participation was imperative for this concert, so that we can continue to build our resources bringing in larger acts each year," he said. ' Members of the Maniacs received royal treatment from the school, including a driver who was on-hand to serve their · n~eds prior to the concert. "The band members seemed pleased with the courtesy they were shown while at Wilkes " said Yevich. ' Members of the 10,000 Maniacs include drummer, Jerome Augustynia~; guitarist, Robert Buck; keyboardist, Dennis Drew; bassist, Steven Gustalfson; and lead vocalist Natalie Merchant. Parents ' Day is Saturday November 3, 1990 �Nov. 1, 1990 PAGE2 Reservists being called to Gui By LESLEY ANN MITCHELL Apple College Information Network After only a few days of classes this fall at Western Wisconsin Technical College in La Crosse, Wis., freshman Laurie Biermann, 19, packed her bags, withdrew from school and is prepared for active duty in the Army in the Persian Gulf. Biermann, from Independence, Wis., is one of hundreds of students in the U.S . Army National Guard or reserves whose units are being called up for service. Even though there is no national policy, most four-year colleges ·and universities will refund tuition and housing costs to reserve students who are called to active duty and most make it easy for them to re-register when they return. Bierman, who could be sent to the Persian Gulf, says she will be able to earn her degree one year later because the college refunded all school costs. She says she should be home in less than six months. "If I'm gone for six months I can plan on starting again next August," she says. "B ut I got a 100 percent refund. There's students here who got the same deal." The United States plans to activate thousands of reservists this month - most supplementing full-time military when regular troops are shipped to the Middle East. College students - who constitute a small part of the nation's military reserves - could be sent to different military bases in the United States or to the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Shield. To these students, who often are given only a few days notice before they are deployed, there is a lot at stake. Many will miss a semester or year of classes, lose their part-time campus jobs and many will have to postpone graduation. "They have no control over being called to active duty," says Wayne State (Detroit) University Military Affairs Coordinator Sylvia Haurane. "They're Just given orders. Employers have to keep jobs for people that are called to , duty, so we do the same for students." Haurane says some students are given only 72 hours notice before they must report to training camps - but in most cases, school costs are refunded. Each university's policy, however, differs, says Bennett Sparks, deputy executive director of the Reserves Officers' Association in Washington, D.C. At the University of Colorado at Boulder, reserve students whose units are called up are given a full or partial refund on tuition , housing and books. They also are guaranteed enrollment when they return, Other universities will only refund tuition costs. Because of the short time span, most students just need to provide the school with a copy of their orders. Sgt. Michelle Kramer, 22, a senior at the University of North Dakota, says she was two credits away from graduating when she was called to active duty last month. But she says she will receive the credit through a ~•u~il1 ill"it~;11m6lu1 ii~nis . rn i ~[~J~~~~ ~~ ~~~t~h~~; military class she can remain enrolled in - even ifs sent to the Persian Gulf. She will graduate with a bache degree in psychology in December. But like other reservists, she doesn't know where going or when she will return. "I was lucky," she says. "Now my only plan~ finish up here and go back home and start my mas degree . I don ' t know where I'm going to be in meantime." Diane Harkins, a sophomore at Wayne Co Community College in Detroit, says her unit was activa few days before classes began this fall, setting her studi a medical lab technician back a semester or two. Instead of the possibility of being sent to the Pe · Gulf, Harkins says she will remain in the United States her unit. Harkins, who joined the reserves about five years says she wasn't even thinking about possible deplo when she signed up. Right now, student-status will not defer reservists are called to active duty. Although the Selective Service it has no plans to resume the draft, a draft would give c students the opportunity to finish semester course before they're deployed. Students will not be exempt from military service, Vietnam.

On the night of October 12, the Lebanese people living in the Christian sector were blitzed by land and air for eight hours. Seven hundred fifty people were killed and 1,500 injured. The greatest casualty was Lebanon itself. For the past two years, the "Christian Sector" of Lebanon has been controlled by General Aoun, army commander appointed by the last Lebanese president before his term ended. General Aoun has struggled to enforce law and order by elim inating militias and expelling the occupying Syrian forces. The struggle had been a difficult one for the people of Lebanon, but they have faced up to IJn,(,'f'er&lty,' & We.ek.l{f '3 NO. 6 NOVEMBER 1, 1990 F/n1 Cks1 ••wspaptr wilh on, mark of distinction t, liot Associated CoU.guu, Pr,ss 1990-91 EDITORIAL STAFF EDITORS JEFFREY C.

Thousands of college students voluntarily joined the army. Huge crowds of people from all over Lebanon gathered around the presidential palace in Baabda to voice their support for Aoun's cause. When the puppet Syrian-backed government cut off Aoun's monetary resources, the Lebanese people gave their own money in a show of solidarity. Patriotism soared. On October 12, the hope that the Lebanese has felt died. Thousands of Syrian troops had been accumulating on the borders of the Christian sector for a week. These troops, along with the Lebanese forces, a power-hungry militia, and a Syrian backed Lebanese army, bombed the innocent inhabitants of the Christian sector. The morning after, General Aoun made the last decision he would make while in power. He surrendered. He could not waste the lives of his men when he was so greatly outnumbered. On October 13, I 990, Lebanon entered a new era. With General Aoun out of the way, the Syrianbacked government could take control. The key phrase here is Smari hacillil. Sure, there will be temporary peace while the Lebanese people recover from the shock. But below the surface, people will be simmering. The Lebanese have fought long and hard to avoid Syrian influence and they will not give up that easily. Perhaps the greatest source of anger for the Lebanese in the U.S.A. is their feeling of neglect. The fact that a ~ country has invaded a ~ country has been ignored - THIS TIME. The American media limits its "news" of Lebanon to one-line statements. Unfortunately, Lebanon doesn't have the oil to merit international outrage. Every seven-year-old in Lebanon deserves to be mentioned by the American press for all the suffering he has endured. His silent agony should be heard as his country dies. Too much scrod, not enough cafe T uesdays and Thursdays used to be special days of the week at the cafeteria. Last year a student could enjoy a chicken patty sandwich for lunch on the "T" days. This year the chickens have almost flown the coup entirely. The only time they can be snared now is on a Sunday afternoon at the caf, and many stuqents have complained about the absence of this particular variety of poultry from their dining menu. There are ma_ny items that are scant or not up to par at the cafeteria. I have heard a multitude of suggestions about how the caf can improve itself. I wonder if Morrison's Food Service has heard all the suggestions or requests that have been issued to them. I One person I know made a suggestion that the caf should make diet foods available to Wilkes students. Items such as diet bread, low-calorie dressing, and foods that aren't cooked or prepared in butter and oil are just a few examples of wh at could be offered. The spaghetti could be submerged in a thicker sauce that wouldn't have the tendency to run all over the plate. There are times when the sauce is thick without the drip, but it usually seems that the cafeteria administration is limiting the funds for sauce and turning on the faucets to save a buck. There are a variety of meals that are regular dishes on the cafe's menu, unfortunately. The most infamous plate has a specimen called egg plant parmagian perched on top of it. There are only a select few who enjoy introducing their tastebuds to this unpleasant guest. They are entitled to their own tastes, but a majority of the student body cringes when they turn the corner and see the yellow and red blob. Speaking of blobs, what'~ with those heaps called ... beef burgundy and baked scrod? These menu items _appear with great repetition. The blobs should be offered bi-weekly instead of six times a month. Bring back the chicken patty sandwiches on Tuesdays and Thursdays for lunch, and broaden the selection of meals at dinner time. The SUB offers a variety of meals which are appetizing. However, you can get only one serving of these foods on your meal plan due to the dinner and lunch price limits that are extremely low and unfair. You get a $2.60 limit at lunch time and a $2.90 limit at dinner. One submarine sandwich costs around $2, and, at lunch time, this leaves you with about .60¢ with which you can't even afford to get a large soda, not to exclude a side order of fries. $4 would be a reasonable amount of credit to have for both lunch and dinner. At least at the cafeteria a person can eat all he wants. If you issued prices to the quantity of focxi that certain individuals consume in the caf, they would be well over the $5 mark for everyone involved. Something also has to be done about the overcrowded cafeteria. It's an unpleasant setting. There are cracks the size of this print between adjacent tables. You would have to be a termite to fit in between these small gaps. People constantly have to move in order to accomodate a student sitting at the next table. The caf could expand around the entire pickering loop which extends past the Residence Life office. These are just a few suggestions that ·could add to the average food service and bring the students back wanting more. �Nov.1, 1990 PAGE4 Frighteningfun onSqua handled the promotion and ticket the event.

Graveyard, a Mad Doctor's Laboratory, a Fortune Teller, and a Haunted Bar. The most frightening sequence within the house was a hair-raising take-off of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies.

You're tired of the same old people at the same old apartment parties. You're sick of playing "Tecmo Bowl" on Nintendo and you certainly aren't in the mood to study. What do you do? Why not attend a concert? Culture yourself. Yeah, right. As if you're really going to do something that's actually cerebral. Besides, you're also not in the mood to sit through a boring concert. But, really, this concert is different. The Wilkes University Percussion Ensemble will perform this Friday, November 2 at 8: 15 p.m. in the CPA. Percussion, that's like drums, right? Exactly, only much more. Percussion includes anything that is sruck, rattled, shaken, beaten, kicked ... (etc.) to produce a musical sound. Hence, the percussion family encompasses much more than just drums. It also includes tonal instruments such as the xylophone and marimba. · So, all these things being beaten make music? Right again. As you might imagine, the sound generated by an ensemble of this nature can be quite powerful. This year's concert promises to be one of the most impressive since the ensemble's conception. The performance will begin with Christopher Rouse's "Ogoun Bagadreis," a composition based on the voodoo rhythms of Haiti. The freshman percussion majors will then be featured in "Toccata," a piece written in 1941 by Mexican composer Carlos Chavez. The first half will conclude with Raymond Helble's "Passacaglia." _ After intermission, guest conductor Dan C. Armstrong, Director of Percussion Studies at Penn State University, will take to the podium to conduct the Wilkes University Marimba Ensemble. This recently formed ensemble will perform music originally written by Clair Omar · Musser. The concert will conclude with "Portico," a piece written by Thomas Gauger. The ensemble is under the direction of Robert A. Nowak, principal percussionist of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic Orchestra, and adjunct professor at Wilkes. So check it out. You stand to gain a little cultural enhancement, and, who knows, you might even enjoy yourself. .t..~ 1991 B.SN SllJDENTS. ~ ~ : t e r the Air Force • immediately after graduation - without waiting for the results of your State Boards.

They also might be playing it at Ralston Field, and they also might have a hope (a very dim one) of winning that game. Ten years have passed, it is a bright, sunny afternoon in October, Wilkes University does have a soccer game, and it is at Ralston Field. But now, Wilkes expects to win. Wilkes University's men's soccer team has come a long ·way in those ten years. The squads of 1980 and 1981 had a combined record of 2 wins, 25 loses, and two ties. They set a Division III record for the most games in a row without a win at 28. Tom McGuire, Wilkes University sports information director and a graduate of Wilkes, recalls some of those teams. "When I was here in the early 1980's, the soccer team was the laughing stock of the school; It was awful," McGuire said, "It was quite common for them to lose by 9 or 10 goals. It was 'let's go see how many goals the soccer team was going to give up today'." • Within three years after the 0-14 season of 1981, new coach Phil Wingert took the team and turned it around so that it set a school record for most wins in a season with 13 in 1984. Two weeks ago, the team was in that 'sunny afternoon' battle with Drew University for a tie for firsr place in the Middle Atlantic Conference. Wingert, who is in his ninth year as head coach, believes there are many reasons for the rise of Wilkes soccer. "The Wilkes administration made a commitment in 1982 when they decided' to bring in a coach who was going to be a full-time here on the campus to head up the program," Wingert said. He said that in the past the coach was not full-time and therefore not fully in touch with the team and the school. Citing this, Wingert said there really wasn't a recruiting effort to get kids to come here to play soccer. "Once I became the full-time coach, part of my responsibility was to recruit - recruit student-athletes who had played high school soccer and were good players, but also liked what we had here academically; the kind of player who came here for both reasons, not just to say, 'Hey, I'll go out for soccer.' They {the new players) started to come here with the idea of playing soccer and getting a quality education," Wingert said. Wingert also believes another reason for the team's success is the high turnover of players. "When a player comes here as a freshman, he's staying with the program until his senior year, and that creates a stability in your personnel," Wingert said. "One of the main reasons is the dedication of the plaJ said, "Since we've had improving records over the past couple have developed a winning tradition. I think the guys wanl going at Wilkes.'' Larimer said that maturity and leadership have also co success of this year's team. "Maturity and leadership are important when you ha freshmen and second year players who are looking ford' players who have been with the program for a number ofy these underclassmen improve their styles of play and lhei Larimer said. Both Larimer and Wingert see continued success for team. They feel that there is a good nucleus of returning p year and that recruiting looks promising for the future. Just as there will be many more bright, sunny afte men's soccer team appears to be one which will continue IO V This year's version of the Wilkes University men's soccer team seems to be one of the best ever. The team has tied the school record for the most consecutive wins at 8, and is currently on track to break the record of the '84 team for most victories in a season. ,one uart ing The team has already broken the record for most goals in a season with 47. Paul Jellen, a sophomore midfielder, tied the record for the most goals by an individual in a season with 13. They have also set the record for most goals scored in a game with 8 against Baptist Bible College. Craig Larimer, a senior defender, says that dedication is the main reason for this year's success. OU t 's di Pioneers corral Colon by J.R. RUPP Beacon Sports Writer CHESTER -- This past Saturday afternoon, the Pioneers of Widener University reinforced their claim as one of the top defenses in the Middle Atlantic Conference. The Pioneers corraled the Wilkes ground game, limiting the Colonels to 59 yards on 49 attempts. Jason Smith led the Wilkes ground attack with 40 yards on 14 carries. In addition to a tough Widener defensive line, the Colonels found problems in a quarterback turned reciever. Guy Kirk, who started the year as a backup quarterback, burned the Colonels with his receiving ability. Kirk caught touchdown passes of 7 and 58 yards within a two-minute and 36 second span to procure a 18-0 halftime lead and an eventual 25-7 Widener victory. Mike Lenczycki leads the Colonels into the E.C.A.C. playoffs As in the case of most games this year, the Colonels played a strong second half. Once again, it was just too little too late. The Colonels drove the ball to Widener's three yard line in the 3rd period only to come up empty. Wilkes finally got on the scoreboard with 4:29 remaining in the contest when Brian DeAngelo scored from a For the second consecutive week, the Colo own worst enemy, turning the ball over Quarterback John Swearhart, who was 12 for yards, was intercepted twice, and the Colonels to fumble three times.

Young quarterback Ty Detmer, once the ie, but a victim of an unbecoming loss at BYU's disappearance from the TV screen in ing up on the outside like a rocket, Notre -returner Raghib Ismail. longshot, Houston slinger David Klingler, the same passing road Cougar teammate last year. of 108 voters across the nation, nearly 10 Hcisman electorate, gave Moore a sligln edge 197.5 points to 167, with Ismail third at 101, at 51.5 and Colorado running back Eric with 22. The poll gave three points for first second and one for third. dominant choice in the East and South, tcok votes overall, while Detmer, with broader had 33. I voiers in the East and South pollec, ~/.oore received the nod from 29 of them. Clearly, opinions are still fluid, and there m-e several key games to go before the ballots are due in late November and many voters are undecided. A look at the situation confronting the top four: Moore is the nation's leader in pass efficiency, and he has accounted for a touchdown once in every 10 plays he has run or passed. He has thrown for 18 TDs, run for five more and has won of 22 of his last 24 starts. His performance against undefeated Georgia Tech on Saturday may be crucial. For once, the nation is watching Virginia. And Moore is the unquestioned force behind the Cavaliers. If Virginia stays unbeaten, he may be tough to catch. "I like Moore because he is the heart and soul of the No. I-ranked team," David Pickle of the Houston Chronicle said. "Moore is Tony Rice with an arm," added Ivan Maisel of the Dallas Morning News. "He's obviously a winner, and the team responds to his leadership." "Any grad student who can play like Moore gets my vote at this juncture," Patrick McManamahon of the Palm Beach (Fla.) Post said. "Mr. Jefferson would be proud." Detmer has passed for 2,977 yards and 23 touchdowns, and has thrown for 300 yards an NCAA record 19 straight games. He is 748 yards away from going ahead of Jim McMahon as the Cougars' all-time passer. Week after week, he puts up the numbers.

But BYU was thumped at Oregon to finish September, and had only two games in October. Out of sight, out of mind. "It's almost like, 'What have you done for us lately?"' Coach LaVell Edwards said. "He's just a great player. You couldn't ask for anything more." BYU's only remaining nationally significant game is with unbeaten Wyoming, but that probably won't captivate a nation. He fights the same lack of exposure in the Rocky Mountains as the other B YU passing phenoms before him; none of them won. Ismail has 1,075 all-purpose yards, has returned a kickoff for a touchdown and is on a roll with explosive games the past two weeks. He has the advantage of several high profile Notre Dame games ahead with Tennessee, Penn State and USC. He has his nickname. He has the Irish tradition. But can a guy who's scored only four touchdowns at this stage win the Reisman? Well, his 1,075 yards are only 46 fewer than Tim Brown at this point in 1987. And Brown won. Plus, he is Mr. TV Highlight with his long runs and returns. If he has a big game, everyone knows it. "The Rocket is the best all-around player in the country," Terry Boers of the Chicago Sun-Times said. "And certainly the most exciting." Klingler is trying the Ware Formula. Wow 'em with numbers. Through seven games, he is 234 of 410, 2,990 yards, 27 TDs, nine interceptions. Ware, through seven games last year: 221 of 354, 2,936 yards, 30 TDs, 10 interceptions. But while Ware's campaign was heating full steam this time last season, Klingler appears only on the fringe of the race. The Houston probation and TV ban may be hurting him. So is the perception that it may be the run and shoot system as much as the man racking up those numbers. Plus, it's tough to get an identity after a Reisman champion and get voters to come back to the same place twice. The last school to have two different men win Heismans back-to-back was Army with Doc Blanchard in 1945 and Glenn Davis in '46. �Nov.1, 1990 PAGES ~ -\ t~ dv4. ~~IN'"♦W !! _y,¢/#04 w .tt.1: (J s $57 40e 97 6679 4oe 9') 4 Js22 i. os 5 -os e. o2 ,,,; 3J.22 40J 42 seoo S14 fie 5 5225 9 5 421.0 J.04 1. 05 J,os flll!!I}~~''"·~ ' '~"-::t' "'...;:::;..,..~, --:::. - ~,' ~ --- - -- - - - ,...~'<-;:....> ~ y .,,-;,,«.-,, 82 io10 ~~~-- i .o 2.a Trying to stretch dollars when you're with eve Macintos , - , /2, and Apple II floppy disks, computer shopping doesn't mean you're willing which means you can share information with to make sacrifices. - ,. someone who uses a different That's why you should consider 1 " type of computer. the new, affordable Macintosh® Classic®computer.

The programs presented during the week did not center around total abstinence, but rather on choice and responsibility.

As alcohol continues to be a leading cause of injuries and deaths among college students, it is imperative to educate and offer alternatives. The groups which put together this week unselfishly gave of their time and energy to benefit the entire campus community. Thank you. Respectfully Submitted, Mark Allen Associate Dean of Student Affairs in transition I want to emphasize that, as the new co-editor of the Beacon, I am not out to lock horns with the administration of Wilkes University. I will do my best to see that all of my editorials are as fair as possible to all parties involved. As many people know, as a former news editor, I know that there are two sides in every situation. In my new position, I will inform the Wilkes community of things that I would like to see changed, but not by embarrasing people. If I see a problem on campus, I will attempt to speak to all parties involved, and my response will be the result of those discussions. In return for my fairness, I ask that you be a little more tolerant with us. In the past, there have been numerous complaints about announcements not appearing, stories not covered, etc. Please remember that there are things called deadlines.

GORDON Beacon Editor If you go to the SUB at the Conyngham Student Center for a bite to eat, you will most likely be greeted with a friendly salutation by Tom ... Tom ... Tom, oh yeh! Tom Martin. "I don't think anyone knows my last name," stated Tom. "The students know me as Tom or Tommy, but that's it." Regardless, he has been an integral part of the Wilkes community for the past 26 years. In 1964, he worked for M.W. Wood catering in the original commons which used to be situated behind the library. It was there where he began his 26 years of devoted service to Wilkes as a member of the food service. The service provided food for dorm students and also acted as a snack bar for commuters. Two years into his career, Tom became a member of the cafeteria staff in the new complex in the Pickering dorm. It was in 1968 when he was offered the position of night shift supervisor at the original commons behind the library. He willingly accepted the offer, and Martin looked forward to the chance to work with a crew of Wilkes students. "I loved working with the students, and I still see many of them today, years after we worked together." , In 1980, the Conyngham building became the new location for the snack bar, or as it is known today, the SUB. Tom continued to serve as the night supervisor when the SUB became his new place of business. He recalls the Conyngham children, who attended Wilkes in the 70's and early 80's, telling him stories of how they used to play between the floors and hide underneath the stairs of the spacious building. Tom has a very spacious or open personality. He always greets the community with a smile. However, he feels bad when students think that he is ignoring them when they wave to him. On the contrary, Tom would like the Wilkes students to understand that he is visually handicapped and that he reacts mostly to the spoken word. Since this is the written word, the only thing that can be said ... I mean written, is thank you Tom, for your dedication and kindness throughout your years here at Wilkes. . Tom retired from the supervisor position at the beginning of this semester, but he still manages to do everything he possibly can to help out the SUB staff. A sound-iDVe·stme By JOHN McLAUGHLIN Beacon Feature Editor Classic Maniacs By AND~EA SIL VI Beacon Copy Editor WILKES-BARRE- 10,000 Maniacs latest album, Hope Chest, combines songs from many of their "classic" 80's tracks to produce an album which accurately defines the band's distinctive rock-folk sound. Songs like "Planned Obsolescence," "Orange," and "Anthem For Doomed Youth" are reproduced on the Hope Chest album. This newest album provides a chance for Maniac fans to rediscover the original sounds which catapulted the band to fame. Wilkes students will get their chance to "rediscover" 10,000 Maniacs when the band visits Wilkes on . Friday, October 26 at 8 p.m. WILKES-BARRE - Ticket sales for tomorrow night's performance of 10, 000 Maniacs have been slow. The Programming Board is confident, however, that there will be a respectable turnout. "Sales are slow but much better than the Psychedelic Furs concert," said Nicolette Yevich, Board member in charge of ticket sales. "People usually wait until the last minute to buy tickets, and tickets are also being sold at the door, so we should · do alright." As of last night, total ticket sales numbered 900, however the Programming Board has even higher expectations. "We're shooting for 1000," Yevich said, "but 1500 would be super." Craig Larimer, Chairman of the Programming Board, expressed a concern for the lack of student support in past events. "Some students say that they don't like the Furs or they don't like 10,000 Maniacs," Larimer explained, "but we need student backing to attract bigger acts, it's as simple as that." Tickets may be purchased today and tomorrow in Stark Lobby from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. They may also be purchased at the Marts Center tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Prices are 10 dollars for students, who must present a Wilkes ID to purchase at that price, and 15 dollars for the general public. Ticket prices will not be raised at the door. The doors of the Marts Center will open at 7, and a special guest, to be announ take the stage at 8.

The great composer/conductor died last week of a heart attack complicated by lung disease. The 72-year-old Bernstein had retired from his podium just three days before, stating that he would still be around to "advise and educate." Fate did HALLOWEEN DANCE not have it that way. Although he was a classical composer who produced four major symphonies and the famous "Chincester Hymns," Bernstein will always be remembered best as a man of the theater. Bernstein's scores to West Side Story and On the Town have become classics of the American theater genre. Who can forget the lilting themes resounded in the love-struck Tony's Act I solo, "Maria," or the exhilarating Latin rhythms of Anita and Bernardo's sarcastic "America?" Stephen Sondheim, who wrote the libretto for· West Side Story, described Bernstein as "the greatest and most energetic composer of his day." "My friend will earn a place in musical history," Sondheim added. Bernstein was born of Russian-Jewish parents and began his musical career later than most greats. He started piano at age 11. By the time he was 21, Bernstein had written 18 compositions and was advised by critics to stay out of music! Time proved the critics to be sadly disillusioned, and Bernstein went on to become the greatest serious composer of his day and a well-known celebritysomething extremely rare for a composer. mington Needs Demonstrators For The Holiday Season No lnuestment EHcellent Commission Paid We also do home shows & fund raisers Call Maureen for free details at 655-6002 teams s, but r cameo 1 playeJ der Phil Critic or admirer, one cannot deny the of greatness in Leonard Bernstein.

He was American composer to conduct a symphony," explained James Harrington, Music Department. "He had a trem influence on the musical world." Michael Keaton appears to possess pointed ears in his latest film. This time, however, the appendages aren't black, molded plastic. They are a symbol of the devlish personality Keaton displays in the suspense thriller Pacific Heights. Melanie Griffith and Matthew Modine co-star as a couple who purchase a run-down Victorianstyle apartment complex in San Francisco. The duo has aspirations of becoming profitable landlords. However, their dreams descend into nightmares when they take in a mysterious tenant, Carter Hayes, played with a maniacal touch by Keaton. Hayes comes across as the typical urban yuppie upon his first meeting with Melanie Griffith while applying for one of the apartment modules in the complex. However, suspicions begin to surface when Keaton shows a desperate need for obtaining the apartment. He has a multitude of fraudulent credentials that allow him to get away with his phony front. This is only the beginning. Keaton proceeds to tighten his grip of terror on the innocent couple by changing his door lock, infesting neighboring apartments with cockroaches, and housing undesirable guests. Michael Keaton succeeds in a role that his Batman co-star, Jack Nicholson, must have envied from a distance. Keaton converts very smoothly from a calm and collected individual into a shady character with a sadistic grin. He reminds you of the stereotypical liar who would stand before you as if nothing happened, even though you know the truth. The truth about this film is that it comes straight out of the Hitchcock genre, but it is a separate entity of artistic film making. Director John Schlesinger dabbles with some unique brush strokes of lighting in some more suspensful and terrifying sequences.

RUPP Beacon Sports 'Writer ANNVILLE- Wilkes' football team is on a streak. Unfortunately, it is headed in the wrong direction. The Colonels traveled to Annville, Pa. this past Saturday to take on the Flying Dutchmen of Lebanon Valley. Wilke's ended up on the short end of a 15.:.g score. Adding insult to injury, the Colonels have now lost twenty straight M. A. C. games. A slew of turnovers and a poor ground performance proved costly for the Colonels who fell to 1-6 (0-5 in the M.A. C.). Wilkes managed only twenty yards on the ground on thirty-one carries. In the turnover category, Wilkes fumbled three times, including a botched snap on a field goal attempt, and two interceptions. The Colonels did not get into the scoring column until 2:39 remaining in the second half. Freshman quarterback John Swearhart hit Steve Endres for a 22 yard reception. Swearhart then completed a pass to Bryan Allen for the two point conversion to close out the Colonels' scoring .. Head coach Joe DeMelfi cited a strong rush from Lebanon Valley and a below average job of blocking from the offensive line as the cause of the sub-par rushing effort. DeMelfi also added that he felt that the defense played rather well. "Some weeks the offense is at the top of its game, other times, it's the defense, we have to just keep improving," DelMelfi said. Overall this year, DelMelfi and his coaching staff feel the team has been competitive with the exception of one or two games. The coaching brain-trust feels that a strong finish, a good recruiting year, and an effective off-season program will put Wilkes' football program back on the right track. With just three games remaining in the season, the Colonels may be down, but they are definitely not out.

Or at least that is what head cross country coach Tom McGuire is hoping, as his troops prepare for this Saturday's crucial race at Dickinson College. Coming off Saturday's impressive showing at Baptist Bible College, where the Colonels recorded victories over Kings and Drew while losing to Baptist Bible, Wilkes has a chance to reach the .500 plateau for the first time since 1982. "This is really something to shoot for," said McGuire, "The kids are really psyched and looking forward to it. The last eight years have been a struggle, so it would be a major accomplishment." In Saturday's showdown, Baptist Bible's Frank John and Dan Pusey captured the top two spots to nail down the victory. But the Colonels were not discouraged . Pat O'Connel finished first for Wilkes and fifth overall. The Colonels then had Mike Fontinell, Tom Devine, Jim Robinson, and Kevin Gamarello nail down the ninth through 12th spots to secure the second place finish . 'Tm real happy with the way we put everything together, it was a tough, hilly course and we pulled through," said McGuire, 'Tm especially happy for the guys who have been here for the hard times. Tom Devine, Mike Fontinell, and Pat O'Connell have had some tough seasons, and now being 4-4 on the season has to feel great."

Such a student is called a 'special student' and completes AFROTC Form 19. This form does not request information regarding sexual preference." Matson went on to explain that any student applying for entry into the corps of cadets must complete AFROTC Form 20 because he/she is a prospective Air Force enlistee. This form, unlike Form 19, "requests specific information regarding sexual preference and intent. " "The Air Force and AFROTC do not knowingly enlist homosexuals or persons of stated homosexual intent," said Matson. This Air Force and AFROTC policy is based on the policy of the Department of Defense, which, in turn, is based on the wishes of Congress. The Air Force's regulation pertaining to this subject reads as follows: "Homosexuality is incompatible with military service. The presence of such members adversely affects the ability of the armed forces to maintain good discipline, good order, and morale; to foster mutual trust and confidence among service members; to maintain the public acceptability of military service; and to prevent breaches of security." "No one has the right to stop someone from doing something purely because of sexual orientation," said Heath Luckenbill, member of the Wyoming Valley Gay/Lesbian Student Organization. "The only reason homosexuals are not allowed into the military is because'of unreasonable and uninformed fear." "In response to whether the Air Force or AFROTC discriminates against homosexuals, Matson explained that "the Department of Defense (DOD) prohibits the enlistment of those individuals who are homosexual or have expressed homosexual preference. The Air Force and AFROTC are required to enforce DOD policy. Neither has the authority to change DOD policy." "Since the concept of military intelligence is based on intelligence, then to ban someone because of a lack of knowledge is simply ridiculous," Luckenbill said. As an example to the DO D's policy, Miriam ben-Shalom, a former member of the Army Reserve and one of the speakers at the November 9 conference, was discharged from the Army in 1976 for being homosexual. Shalom then proceeded to sue the district court to force her reenlistment. The Army appealed this ruling, and the appellate court reversed the decision on the grounds that the military's exclusion policy was legitimate, had a rational basis, and was constitutional. Shalom then tried to appeal the Supreme Court, but was denied review. �Ocr. 18, 1990 P AGE2 Fire Marshall backs student Most Sterling Hall accusations uphe breaker, but it also demonstrated that Sterling Hall was a fire By JEFFREY C.

WILKES-BARRE - A series of accusations of negligence directed at Residence Life in reference to Sterling Hall through a "letter to the editor" in the last Beacon has sparked some degree of concern among students living there. Most of Dennis' allegations towards Residence Life were true and upheld by Captain Donald Wittkopp, Fire Inspector for the City of Wilkes-Barre. In the letter, Jim Dennis, President of Sterling Hall, reported that since the beginning of the semester the residence hall had been "plagued by a series of blackouts." According to Dennis, when this was reported to Residence Life, the immediate response was that the students were using too much power and. too many appliances at the same time. Dennis then reported that he took matters into his own hands by calling the Fire Inspector of the City of Wilkes-Barre. He explained that "their inspection of the dorm proved that the cause of the blackouts was a faulty Wittkopp did confer on the accusation of the faulty breaker, as well as a number of other problems, including a deficiency in the fire extinguishers by about a month and a bad "exit" light in the basement. However, he did negate the claim that Sterling Hall was a "fire hazard." "The breaker' was probably faulty, and that was probably the reason for the trip off," said Wittkopp. Wittkopp explained that the breaker was full of carbon deposits, most likely due to the tripping of the breaker. He explru.ned that each time a breaker trips, there is carbon left behind. Leigh Major, head of Residence Life, stated that the electrical system in Sterling had not been updated since the aftermath of the 1972 flood. At that rate of carbon buildup, by this point, a 40 amp breaker weakened by the carbon buildup may trip at 25 amps (this is only an exampie for effect). "It was safer that the breaker tripped when it did, or else there could have been a fire," said Wittkopp. INT-ERNSHIPS IN PENNSYLVANIA ST A TE GOVERNMENT The Commonw e 81th is 8n Equ81 Opportunity Employer ATTN: COMPUTER SCIENCE & ACCOUNTING MAJORS Applications now being accepted for the Commonwealth's Computer Systems and Accounting Intern Programs until Dec. 7, 1990 - Competive salary averaging almost $7 .SO/hour Interns may be eligible for college credit Possible qualification for full time management level job after Internship and graduation To Qualify * Computer Science Internship Program candidates must be Sophomores. * Accounting Internship Program candidates must be Juniors.

"What this proposal will do is impact the eligibility of the highest risk students - the poor," Blair said. "We're talking about women, we're talking about women with dependents." Blair also objected to the proposal requiring credit checks for students older than 21. , "Many times those people who have gone through ugly divorces, through no control of their own,.end up with bad credit ratings," he said. "This population will be excluded." Blair's association will present its own proposal this week to save $2 billion in the student loan program. He said it would ensure that people who defaulted on student loans would have money garnisheed from their wages. The plan also outlines methods to maximize a student's chances for completing a vocational program and getting a job, rather than dropping out and defaulting. Enrollment on the rise By MARLENE MANGAN Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE - As Wilkes University announces its highest enrollment since 1981, newly appointed Dean of Admissions Marc Davis has instituted changes in the admissions process which will prepare the University for the future. "At a time when many schools accross the country are experiencing a drop in enrollment it's gratifying to see more students coming to Wilkes University," said Davis. Davis attributes the three percent increase over last year to several factors, including new student affairs and academic improvement programs. "Our challenge for the future is to continue strong recruiting efforts and improve our programs to meet the needs of the students at Wilkes," said Davis. New changes in the admissions process will include a promotional video which will be exhibited to students and their parents prior to a walking tour. A tour guide booklet, which includes a brief history of each building on campus, will set a specific route for the tour. "It's important that students who visit the campus take a part of Wilkes home with them," said Davis. Another newly instituted program is a mail-marketing campaign which includes a newsletter to be sent to students who have expressed an interest in Wilkes. Recently named as the Wilkes Dean of Admissions, Davis joins Wilkes after a four-year tenure as Director of Admissions Potsdam College of the State University of New York in Potsdam, New York.

RY AN Apple College Information Network The major civil rights bill passed by the Senate on Tuesday faces a veto by President Bush - and that could be politically costly for the president and his party. Bush considers the measure a "quota" bill. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus, says that compared with the Reagan administration, "Bush has been like a breath of fresh air, but I think he is putting all that on the line if he vetoes this bill." John Buckley, a Republican activist and former aide to Housing and Urban Development Secretary Jack Kemp, concedes: "There is no question that it (a veto) will not be helpful in making inroads into the black community." Kemp, as a presidential candidate in 1988 and as Housing secretary since, has spoken vigorously of the need to broaden GOP ranks to include more blacks. The bill, called the Civil Rights Act of 1990, now goes to the House, which is expected to pass it Wednesday. The Senate adopted it by a vote of 62-34. But the margin was two short of that needed to override a veto, and the two votes would be difficult to come by. Congress has failed to override any of Bush's 15 vetoes. Und er the legislation, victims of job discrimination would be able to recover compensatory and, in some cases, punitive damages. IL would reverse or alter six recent Supreme Court decisions limiting damages for workers in job discrimination suits to back pay and benefits. It would also put a greater burden on employers to defend hiring practices that cause an imbalance between whites and minorities, or between men and women, in their companies. Congressional opponents of the bill, bolstered by the legal opinions of Atty. Gen. Richard Thornburgh WASHING TON - I. Ocr. 18, 1990 and complaints by Bush, counter that it would force employers worried about lawsuits to follow strict racial and sexual quotas in hiring. Ron Walters, a political science professor at Howard University in Washington, predicts a presidential veto would trigger a "drumbeat" of opposition from civil rights leaders, many of whom have supported Bush. Seventy percent of black voters in a Washington Post/ABC survey in January said they approved of the way Bush was handling his job. But the budget impasse and black disapproval over sending troops to the Middle East dropped his approval rating among blacks to 37 percent, a new Washington Post poll released Tuesday showed. A veto of the civil rights bill almost certainly would mean a more precipitous drop among minorities. Conyers, part of the House negotiating team that tried to come up with compromise civil rights legislation Bush would accept, says the president has eagerly - and at times successfully - courted black support. But Conyers says "the political fallout of this (a veto) will be that the strategy to bring blacks into the Republican Party will be aborted again. I think he is throwing that away and he may inadvertently be sending a signal that he doesn't mean to send to the most conservative elements." Conyers defines the "conservative elements" as consistent opponents of civil rights, including voters who, earlier this month, gave former Ku Klux Klan member David Duke 44 percent of the vote in the Louisiana Senate primary, although he did not win. Buckley says the president should veto the bill. He agrees with Bush that the legislation is a "quota" bill, rather than a civil rights measure, and that surveys show that most Americans oppose quotas. But he agrees a veto would enhance Bush's stature among blue-collar and "David Duke-type" voters while diminishing it in the black community.

The pilot program is directed toward college freshman who have not been immunized for measles a second time. After researching , University records, the Health Service has contacted those students determined eligible for the program. O'Brien said that the measles vaccine given in previous years was not a live immunization and was therefore not strong enough to carry those vaccinated through their adolescent years.

Being forced to pass eight plates around containing small portions of a disappointing meal was bad enough, but the lack of room at the table forced everyone to pile the plates on top of one another. It kind of kills an atmosphere. How about a buffet next time?

A faulty microphone was placed on stage, and it did its best to annoy both comic and audience as it repeatedly cut out, sometimes right on a punchline. A very vocal heckler tried his best to annoy the performer, and he succeeded until Tenuta commented, "Huh, nice security in this place." Shortly after, security was positioned near the stage, the heckler was silenced, and both Tenuta and the audience enjoyed the remainder of her act. After a 15-minute intermission, Emo Philips crept awkwardly on stage. Entering with his baggy, kaleidoscopic outfit, page-boy haircut, and stork limbs, Emo was greeted by a shout from the audience, " I love you, Emo!" This greeting set the tone for Emo'.s act, for the audience simply adored every move t,h e wet- noodle-postured comedian made.

This resulted in a stalemate third quarter. The Colonels returned to the scoring column in the fourth quarter as quarterback Louis Emanuel hit Steve Endres with scoring strikes of 33 and 11 yards to close out the scoring. Endres finished the day with 77 yards on five catches. The first and second half of Saturday's ball game were as different as night and day. Head coach Joe DeMelfi cited blown defensive assignments as the major problem in the first half. DeMelfi added that the def~nse did a great job stopping the Aggies in the second half, but it was just a case of too little too late. Wilkes now sports an overall record of 1-5 (0-4 M.A.C.) "I didn't expect to tum the program around overnight, and if anyone thought that, they must be crazy," said DeMelfi. The Colonels now take to the highways as they travel to Lebanon Valley.

There are a select few, however, who gain some well-deserved attention. Two freshmen who have gained this attention are Wilkes football players Steve Endres and Jason Smith. Six games into the season, Endres and Smith are the leading receiver and rusher respectively. Steve Endres Steve Endres, an engineering major, hails from Palmerton, Pa. So far this season, at wide receiver, Endres has 23 receptions for 315 yards and three touchdowns. He also averages 3.8 receptions per game at 13.6 yards a reception . Endres' longest reception this season was 35 yards, and he leads the team in scoring. Jason Smith, who comes to Wilkes from Pine Grove, Pa., is a business major. As a runningback, Smith's stats so far this season include 106 carries for 348 yards, and he averages 3.2 yards per carry with 58 yards per game. Smith's longest carry was 26 yards. Both Endres and Smith said that there are no added pressures involved in being successful as freshmen. "There is no extra pressure, I am just trying to do what I can each week," said Endres. Smith added, "There really is no extra pressure, and I get along with the rest of the team." Head football coach Joe DeMelfi had nothing but praise for both players. "Smith has a knack of getting yardage when there is not much room there," said DeMelfi. If Smith keeps healthy, Coach DeMelfi believes he will have a great four years at Wilkes. "Endres catches exceptionally well, as well as anyone I've seen in my twenty years of coaching," stated DeMelfi. "And since Wilkes has an excellent engineering program, we had an edge in recruiting him." DeMelfi also said that the fact that both of these players are freshmen speaks well for the football program. He is glad to have them, as he is to have all freshmen in the program, and DeMelfi says that Wilkes needs to have another good recruiting year to get the football program back on track. Booters lose MAC title, 1-0 WILKES-BARRE - The Wilkes soccer program was dealt a blow Tuesday which may hurt the team's post season chances. After winning 9 of 10 games since September 12th, the booters lost to Drew 1-0 at home Tuesday afternoon. The loss dropped the Colonels record to 11-5 overall and 4-2 in the M.A.C. Northeast. It also may have cost the Colonels a place in the region's top ten. "It's a hard loss to take since it seemed like in the second half we really dominated them," said midfielder Ron Rainey. The Colonels outshot Drew 18-4, but could not get the equalizer after Drew scored in the first half. In the second half, the Colonels launched attack after attack but they could not tally a goal. The Colonels had two excellent chances but Rainey and Chris Schenfield were both stoned in one-on-one situations. The loss was the lowlight of a very impressive ten game stretch in which the Colonels only loss was to the top ranked Elizabethtown Bluejays, 3-1. In that game, the Colonels held a 1-0 lead with twenty minutes left in the second half. But the Bluejays flexed their muscles and showed why they are the top ranked team as they blitzkrieged the Colonels with 3 quick goals. The booters look to rebound today at home against Albright. They will then take on Division II Millersville on Monday at home. With the Colonels now out of the conference race, the squad will set their sights on breaking the school record for wins in a season. ing' s stuc to put ir mouths nearly e streetso p trash. thirty m mm unityg kLobbyav day's cleai bags,don sued toaic s.

Arnold and Sandy Rifkin, longtime supporters of Wilkes, recently donated their former home at 80 South River Street to the University. Following speeches by President Breiseth, Arnold and Sandy Rifkin, and Rifkin Hall Resident Assistant Kristin Malitsky, a plaque was unveiled which dedicates the building to the Rifkins' children and grandchildren. The dormitory was then left open for the enjoyment of those present at the ceremony. The mansion was originally the home of the Rickett family, early twentieth century Wyoming Valley coal barons, and later, it housed Judge William McLean. In 1988, the Rifkins purchased the home from the heirs of the late Moses Griffiths. Today, Rifkin Hall houses 43 Wilkes students, both male and female. Interior alterations were recently completed by the Uuiversity, making the building more economical to heat and maintain. "It's a lot like living off campus in an apartment," said senior transfer student Jena Akola, refering to the new dormitory's modem kitchen and bathroom facilities, which are located in each room. Other students find Rifkin's environment more relaxed because of the dorm's co-ed status. "The social climate here is much more enjoyable, since men and women are able to live on the same floor," said Bill Phillips, a transfer student from Newtown, Pa The donation of Rifkin Hall adds to the long list of services the Rifkins have provided for the community. Arnold Rifkin told The Times Leader, however, "This is the largest gift I have ever given." 7rfho® W®®fk ~i Wrnfk®® Sept 28 - Oct. 4 ■ Friday Yorn Kippur begins at Sundown IRHC/CC Bloomsburg Fair Trip Attention uniors and Seniors !

In Madison, the university has undertaken a plan to increase racial diversity and understanding. The program includes increasing the numbers of minority student and faculty and improving retention rates. Freshmen must take an ethnic studies course, and faculty and staff receive sensitivity training. Students who verbally or phys(cally attack minority students are punished. A progress report out earlier this year notes minority faculty hiring is on schedule and minority enrollment in graduate and professional schools is up. But it also says some initiatives, including freshman recruitment plans, "are stalled, and a few have experienced frustrating setbacks." "The jury is still out," says Paul Barrows, minority affairs adviser to Chancellor Donna E. Shalala. While overt racism appears to have subsided, he says, there still exists among many whites "a kind of cold indifference toward people of color." Some students, meanwhile, say the plan is largely a public relations effort that has not improved the student climate. "It has now degenerated into more segregation and more polarization," says Steve Yun, a member of the Minority Coalition, a student group that focuses on preventing future outbreaks through education. "The first step is in ... having people admit that we are living in a racist society," he says, "but it's hard to educate people when they do not want to be educated." ~ The College Consortium for International Studies is composed of 170 American Coileges and Universities.

I personally approached Leigh Major to try and explain to her that this problem was nothing new to Sterling Hall, and that electrical devices were not the problem but instead, it was a faulty breaker. My effort was in vain. Michaels taking it too far Dear Editor: Wouldn't it be convenient if we all had something that we could blame our probJems on? Most of us don't, and are therefore forced to take responsibility for our actions. But there are a privileged few who think that they should be immune from the consequences of their behavior because of some perceived biases. I am referring in particular to a young student on campus who took the liberty last week of writing a letter to the editor. The content of the letter indicated that there are students here at Wilkes who are seeking to deprive him of his "constitutional rights" and are actively engaged in a conspiracy to force him to leave. I find it incredibly unlikely that there are active Nazis here at Wilkes University. You don't have to be unusually talented to draw a swastika, and given the vast majority of students here who have never been to a concentration camp, unlike our newspaper editors, it is likely that the artist didn't really know the significance of the symbol. The intent was surely meant to be the same as if they had drawn a picture of the student with horns and an arrow through his head wearing funny glasses and a beard. They simply meant to make fun of a person who they disliked and their subject matter was most likely swastikas because of the fact that he goes out o! his way to advertise his religion to everybody that f- , comes in contact with. Now, however, I hope that :uey do realize what their _ be withheld because it is very possible that I wil be thought of as racist simply for stating that this matter has nothing at all to do with race. Isn't it possible that the student in question is disliked because of his personality rather than his religion? The easiest way to make people angry is to unjustly accuse them of something. The charges against the particular student(s) involved is a thinly veiled attempt to implicate the entire school. This makes me very angry, and surely affects others in the same way. I choose to vent my anger by writing a reply to the letter, but the danger lies in the fact that there are less level headed students who may turn to real racism once provoked, and a childish prank which should have been ignored could balloon into something that might not easily be stopped.

(It's just another example of the cowardice behind these anti-Semitic drawings.) However, the letter illustrated a dangerous, calloused mindset some Wilkes students apparently have. Sure, the writer of the letter and the producers of last week's anti-Semitic drawings are entitled to their opinions (as demented as they may be), but when they express those opinions by defacing public property, they abuse their right of freedom of expression.

But without getting into the technicalities of this sorry affair, let's talk a little bit about the nature of attacking others because they are different. We aren't experts on human psychology, but this type of overt ridicule seems to be one of the most avoidable actions possible. We wish those responsible for the drawings would take a look at the side of Michaels and other Jews. What if he had drawn anti-Christian graffiti on the Stark desks? Many may not be as religious as Michaels, but they would have had every right to be as upset. Michaels is not making too much of this incident. Some may. not care as much, but that is his right. He simply nailed those who were stupid and mean enough to commit such a senseless act. Michaels did what he had to do and natural reaction followed. Whoever drew the pictures and slogans should have expected the consequences. Why is Michaels being made out to be such a bad guy? Are WE too calloused to care? Do we just want it swept under the table so we can feel good about everything at Wilkes? It would be a crime if this is forgotten. We're glad the Times Leader picked up on the story. This isn't a small issue. Anti-Semitism is surfacing right now in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and at Wilkes. Whether or not hatred was in the artist's mind is irrelevant. It was present in the product. Yes, Wilkes' image is being tarnished by this whole affair. BUT THIS IS NOT MICHAELS' FAULT. Blame it on the idiots who drew the pictures. ·Improve dorms Congratulations, James Dennis! You took the safety of your dorm into your own hands (see Letters to the Editor) and averted what could've been a disaster. · It's just a shame that Residence Life couldn't have handled the situation instead of brushing your legitimate concern aside. Certain conditions that exist in the dorms are intolerable. For example, last year there were live outlets exposed in Pickering on move-in day. And in Miner, two hairdryers couldn't be plugged in at the same time in the bathroom without fuses being blown. It's not Wilkes' fault that some of the buildings are old. But they need improvement, with Residence Life taking the lead. That should be spearheaded by Dean Mark Allen, who's in charge. Not by students like James Dennis. They're just victims paying thousands of dollars to live in buildings with faulty breakers That is a rip-offl CORRECTION - In last week's issue, the same story was laid out under different headlines on page two. It was a definite mistake and we're sorry for the inconvenience. The actual story about Wilkes' possible involvement in the Persian 9ulf- written by Andrea Silvi - appears on page two of this issue. · �PAGE6 SEPT. 27, 1990 An enduring Caf Staff By JOHN T.

Honing the play to a fine edge was a trio of talented personalities: director Steve Hartman, choreographer Rob Robinson and musical director Linda Houck. Hartman succeeded in directing the four principals to fine performances. Wilkes senior John McLaughlin as Judas, although a bit strained in his vocal work, gave an outstanding and completely enveloping performance. His torment at betraying Jesus was clearly shown in the touching "Judas' Death." Jack Evans, in the title role, gave a likewise touching performance. He successfully showed the audience the human side of the Messiah. With a voice that stretched far to the back rows of the house, Evans brought tears to the eyes of many audience members with his rendition of "Gethsemene." Little Theater veteran Joe Sheridan gave the best performance of the evening with his sympathetic portrayal of Pilate. Sheridan portrayed Pilate as a weak, confused leader who was both scared and apprehensive of the fate he had to carry out. His distress was most evident in his solo "Pilate's Dream." In the supporting cast, Howard Smith as Peter and Wilkes Freshman Dana Belson gave fine performances in "Peter's Denial." Smith performed rlc mee ike is ye tis ,wh1 the best delivered song of the evening, "Could W Start Again Please," with Andrea Petrosky, who was superb as Mary Magdeline. The show was not without faults, however. Tom Jalmoroski and Stanley Shorr as Caiphas and Annas, although possessing fine singing voices, failed to develop any character. Shorr's performance lacked the sly, manipulative factors that made Annas the man behind Caiphas' power. With the exception of odd-looking headbands worn by the ladies, the costumes by Bonnie Biros were superb and the set by Sheridan was breathtaking. Other notable performances were given by Chris LaFrance, Mike Williams, Jason Sherry and choreographer Robinson as Simon. Saturd Jesus Christ Superstar.

MORE THAN JUST A BUSINESS �CROSS COUNTRY WOMEN'S SOCCER THE BEACON SEPTEMBER 27, 1 Wilkes-King's or Hatfields-McCoys? photo by Dale Nat OH KICK ME! -T.R. Andrake (11) attempts to knock one in Sure, We've all seen the clips of the English soccer fans rioting and destroying stadiums as they watch their version of football. And sure we all say, "What else do they have to do? The players run up and down for 90 minutes and are lucky if they score one goal." For that reason, soccer has never really caught on in the United States, where the fans love the high scoring excitement found in football and basketball. But the question arises, could all this be changing? The United States fielded a team in the World Cup this year for the first time since Hitler was a cadet and even made a respectable showing. The United States will also be hosting the World Cup in 1994. Now for the clincher, the proof that soccer really is catching on. Wilkes students, who have been mentioned more than once in the same breath with apathy, are actually showing up and supporting their team. Granted the stands at Ralston field are still intact, but the fans have been doing a nice job. Date back to September 17 as the Wilkes hooters knocked off Bloomsburg 1-0. The student body in attendance rattled several Huskie players who retaliated to good natured ribbing with several different hand gestures. Just this past Monday, approximately 100 students (believed to be an official record at Wilkes for a soccer game with no keg present) rallied behind the Colonels in their action packed 1-0 win. It was a game that showed soccer really isn't that boring. It featured hard play resulting in several possible altercations. There was an attack of Colonel Adam Tillman (don't worry Adam, ex-Beacon editor Lee Morrell would be proud of you). There was also King's head coach, Jim Jakiewick, acting in a totally classless manner by throwing hand jesters to the Wilkes student body and leaving this writer wondering, "Isn't he representing a Catholic school?" To top it all off, a dog escaped from his master and stopped play for a good two minutes before he could be retrieved. Boring? Hardly, according to head soccer coach Phil Wingert. "The crowds at our last two home games have been a pleasant surprise," said Wingert. "They are really backing our players and they are doing it in a good nature. The fans were in the heads of the King's players and they lost their composure." It was the Colonels who appeared to be playing without composure in the first half as they misconnected on several passes and let a weaker King's squad gain confidence in the opening 45 minutes. "We had scouted them and we knew we were a better team than them," said Wingert. "But in the first half, we were working too hard, we weren't playing our game. Their goalie also came up big in the first half. We talked at halftime about getting back to doing what we did in the first eight games of the year." The talk apparently hit home as Wilkes with guns blazing. They started to dominate both offensively and defensively. Then, through the second frame the Colonels got they had been waiting for when senior Mike broke free at midfield and scored what ap the game's first goal. But it was disallowed as the back side r~ the play dead, calling a foul on King's. "The front ref said play on, but the brl already called it dead," said Wingert. "It call, they didn't want to let the game get out That would have been really disheartening if ended in a tie." Fortunately for Wingert, it would DOl about 15 minutes remaining in the contes~ Paul Jellen took a restart from junior Ron · rocketed the ball into the net. In a bit of a strategic move by Wing who has been Wilkes' biggest offensive t~ didn't start the second half. "Paul had played the entire first half and I could get him a twenty minute rest by si out the first ten minutes of the half," said "With the new substitution rule you can't take out and ·put him back in, so I had to get him a way." Jellen's goal was the end of the scoring, the beginning of the extra-curricular Shortly after the Colonels jumped to the 1-0 man dressed rather nicely and standing by bench became enraged with Colonel Tillman and went after him. "I think he was a father of one of their said Wingert. "I didn't know what the guy was tryin said Tillman. "I wasn't really scared because a real big guy and all the Wilkes players c bench." The hooters will now be on the road f!J three games. Will the Wilkes student body mass to watch their new-found heroes? I doubt it, but it would be nice to see the for them and the rest of Wilkes' athletic teams Just in case, do you think we could estimate from athletic director John Reese stadium at Ralston Field should the new crazy college kids at Wilkes decide to em English soccer-loving heroes? � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Nejib, Dean of Engineering and Ph ysical The Iraqi native who is now a United States citizen is somewhat about the American media's portrayal of his native land. many have associated Iraq with the likes of Saddam Hussein," yesterday. "They are forgetting the history and old culture of a which began as a cradle-of civilization." ejib understands the reasoning behind this one-sided portrayal. "It's tic to expect American broadcasters to explore every aspect of a country," he said. rding to Nejib, the people of Iraq have "no options but to accept of Saddam." Nejib also said, however, that, "Hussein is different other rulers in that he has power but not extravagance." Because of ~1b feels the Iraqi people are better able to relate to the leader. Like many American speculators, Nejib believes that U.S military e, short of full-scale nuclear tactics, will not force Hussein into ion. In tead, he believes that the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait will bly fade as the predominant Gulf issue, gi ving way to the nencc of Western military presence in the Gulf." o matter the outcome of the crisis, Great Britain, France, and the Union will ultimately benefit because those countries have nothing Ncjib said. "America is doing the actual work." ausc of this high-profile role, Nej ib feels the United States "is feeling the financial impact of defending Saudi Arabia." ~1b was born and raised in Baghdad, where he attended high school t to college at the University of Baghdad.

THE BEACON 20, 1990 Persian Gulf Crisis hits Wilkes By ANNE SAKER Apple College Information Network WASHINGTON - Iraq's invasion of Kuwait creates a new chemistry for terrorism in the Middle East, and Saddam Hussein probably will set off an explosion of terror to shake the U.S. commitment in the region, analysts said Monday. If Saddam figures the odds are with him on launchino0 a terrorism . campaign, the experts said, the likeliest targets are the U.S. military encampments in Saudi Arabia and Saudi oil facilities. But American cities, too, could be threatened. The analysts from in and out of government, who gathered for a briefing Monday by the private International Security Council, noted that Iraq has long sponsored terrorist organizations with weapons and training. Since the Aug. 2 invasion, the possibility of terrorism as a counterforce to the U.S.-led military operation has grown daily. "Iraq is up to its neck in terrorism," said CIA analyst Stanley Bedlingham. "I think we are in for a very rough time." Complicating the picture has been Iran's joining with Saddam's call for a "holy war" against the U.S.-led forces in the Middle East, which Pentagon analyst Peter Probst said increases the numbers of people who might offer themselves for terrorist missions on the promise that death in a holy war means martyrdom. "Saddam Hussein has a lot of rich targets .... A few squads of terrorists can make the thousands of people we've sent there irrelevant," said Edward Badolato, a former deputy assistant defense secretary. " . . ,, . " . Saddam will try to bloody the Umted States, said Probst. It hkely will be something quite spectacular that will be launched in an effort to change public opinion about the operations in the Middle East." In the early 1980s, Iraq was on a U.S. list of nations that sponsored terrorism, which meant it was prohibited from trade with the United States · and from receiving other economic benefits. But in 1982, when his war with Iran forced him to turn to the West, Saddam made enough overtures to the United States to get Iraq taken off the list. After the Kuwait invasion, Iraq was again officially deemed a sponsor of terrorism, and Bedlingham said several terrorist leaders, seeing a "friend" in Saddam, have turned up in Baghdad. These include George Habash, leader 9f the Palestine Liberation Front-General Council, believed to have engineered the Dec. 12, 1988, bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. Bedlingham said Habash has suggested that Iraq should launch nuclear attacks on American cities - but, noting that Habash has received most of his support from Syria's Hafez Assad, Saddam's enemy, the suggestion "may be hot air." Still, Col. Richard Porter, formerly a staff member of the National Security Council, cautioned, "There is a whole new chemistry for radical terrorism in the Middle East." If Saddam launches or authorizes someone to launch such an attack, Porter said, "He will try to make sure that the attack kills as many people as possible and that he cannot be linked to it." Badolato said he is most concerned about the prospects of "another Beirut barracks disaster" - recalling the October 1983 suicide truck bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon that killed 243 servicemen. Also of concern to Badolato and the other analysts are the oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, sites in Egypt and Turkey- which have joined the U.S. force against Iraq - European and Japanese energy facilities and Israel, "which would change the name of the game," Badolato said. However, Bedlingham said, while Saddam may have the will and the way to commit or sponsor terrorism, he may not have the timing. "The myth is that Saddam is 10 feet tall. He's not.

THE B EAC Campus crimes spark national concern BY DENISE KALETTE Apple Co llege Information Network GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The bells that toll in thi s somber college town ring out a warning to every uni versity in the country. Today, Florida National Guardsmen and wildlife officers comb a IO-square-mile patch of woods here, sifting for clues in the killings of fi ve students three weeks ago. The knife murders, committed with numbing calculation, have turned thi s community into an armed camp. They have left students with a gnawing sense of danger. They have bl oodied the myth , of college as a tranqui l haven for learning. · To see the violence here as an exception to a natioµal norm of cri me-free co ll ege communities is to make a serious mistake. At least every 10 days someone is killed on or near a campus. Students fall victim to more than 21,000 armed robberies, rapes and assaults each year. That' s one violent act every 25 minutes, showin g that the average coll ege commun ity is no sa fer than the average community. As chill ing details of the mutilati ons of the first three victi ms - freshmen Sonja Larson, 18 ; Christina Powell , 17 ; and Chri sta Hoy t, 18 - began filtering in to news accounts, police here began receiving reports of slay ings fro m college towns as far away as Alabama and Louisiana. " We've had several ti p sheets come in from other uni versities, where they 've had crimes or known of cri mes near thei r campuses simil ar to th is. Homicid es arc a rou ti~e thing in this country - 48,000 people are kill ed every year," says Stevens. " If a universi ty docsn 't have a series of crime prevention and safety programs in place, they're really asking for disaster." T hough univers ities have been press ured to upgrade do rm itory safety and professionalize their police fo rces, off-cam pus res idences everyw here arc far less secure. Many lack exterior locks. Five days after the fourth and fifth victims - Tracy Paules and Manuel Taboada, both 23 - were fo und here, while a sheriff' s deputy stood watch at the cri me scene 30 yards away, a reporter was able to enter another buildin g in the sam e Gatorwood Apartments complex and walk thro ugh unquesti oned . A week later, at midnigh t on Sept. 8, the deputy was gone. The door to Bui lding 12 was propped wide open, its hall a fluorescent glow. On the second floor, a drape was pull aside, and a young woman peered out fearfu lly. Doors at Bui ldings 13 and 15 also we propped open. T hi s Wednesday, a locksmith installed a lock at the rear of Building 12, b the fro nt door remained unlocked. Thousands of parents who sent their children off to coll ege have found their liv touc hed by crime. A 1988 USA TODAY investigation fou nd 285,932 crimes , many them thefts and burglaries, reported· on 698 campuses. Those represent just a frac tion of nation's 3,600 universities. The report found at least 31 killi ngs on or near campus, 1,8 armed robberies on campus and 13,000 assaults. Such statistics are hard to get because schools are not required to report crimes tot FBI, or, in most states , even to prospective students and their parents. Di fferent versions federal legislation that would require colleges to divulge crime data have passed the Hou and Senate. Though on -campus crime has drawn legislative attention, in communi ties like this o - where far more students reside off-campus - no statistics are available on the nu mber off-campus crimes involving students. And students - some of whom , at 17 and 18, away from home for the first time - are left to dec ide where to live and how safe it is. Even without the five murders of late August, thi s commun ity is not without i dangers. In Alachua County last year, there were 226 reported rapes and sex cri mes; 1,51 aggravated assaults; 547 robberies; 5,270 burglaries, involving break- in s; and another 9,2! thefts. Many students have heard of the disappearance of Tiffany Sessions, 20, while joggi last Feb. 9. She has never been fou nd. But rcw have heard of Ron Willis, an alumnus w returned in January . He was shot in the face and killed durjng an apparent street robbery. Crime leaves an indelible scar on young li ves. University of Florida does addre on-campus crime in stude nt periodicals. But many schools shield their images by n disclosing the dangers, says Jim Getzinger, 48 , of West Palm Beach. On Jan. 17, 1988, h daughter, Dana, was nearly killed by a ski-masked intruder as she slept in her apartment ju off the campus of the University of Georg ia, where she is a sophomore. He learned of ot crimes in the neighborhood only after she was stabbed. While the crimes go unsolved, a consensus crystall izes among students: This is not way college was supposed to be. ACT 101 cleans up Wilkes' campu By JEFFREY C. LOBALBO Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE - It looks like Wilkes is finally "cleaning up its act." A new recycling program devised by the administration and student government will take effect this month. The program was first introduced to Wilkes at a presentation held last spring in Stark Learning Center. Since then, the University has been preparing for a change that will greatly improve the Wilkes community. Accord ing to Bill Hanigan, Student Government President, the campus has joined fo rces with Allen and Allen Industries, a recycling company owned by Wilkes graduate Rick Allen. Under the new ACT 101 Jaw, Wilkes must recycle aluminum, cardboard, and office paper. For this purpose, the recycling company will establish a storage facility behind Sturdcrvant Hall. Aluminum cans will also be collected in containers placed throughout the campus. Extra containers will be placed in Stark and Pickering Hall to handle the larger number of Op~rati OIl Alert ANGAN cans in these areas. Student reaction has been overwhelming so According to Hanigan, containers in Stark have been every day. Hanigan has also commented that Allen and Allen present a monthly check to Student Government f percentage of the revenue brought in from the recycled g These proceeds will be donated to the United Way and o charities. "I think it's good that the university is ge · involved to do something for the community," said Hani, !~~E~h~e~~~tenu~,~~ee~~ce~t~!~a! give students ad added sense of security, but scare off would-be attackers. they should also take other precautions such Anyone interested in obtaining the devi as walking in groups and in lighted areas." can contact the Security Office, their R.A., WILKE~-BARRE Operation Alert, a new security Allen also said that two Wilkes students Commuter Council. program which has been designed to provide students with a better :11eans of personal protection, has been fully instituted on the Wilkes campus.

For one thing, it is very costly to attend W)lkes. Costly to the tune of $8,200 yearly. Add an extra $2,200 for i:esi~ents. Such an outlay of money should give students certain nghts, and the choice of whether or not to attend class should rank right at the top. Let's cut through the high-minded myth about the college experience producing a better person and get to the real re~son most students choose hi.gher education - to become qualified and experienced for a career.

You are to your opinion, and I am not Sincerely yours, ng you from having it. This is also Marnin Michaels aranteed constitutional right, but it to yourself. If this can be done with a student's natural abilities determining when he/she should attend class, then so be it. There are students who can read a textbook and pass the corresponding tests without being fed the same information through lectures. If classes require hands-on work through labs and such, then it would be impractical to miss, but that option should be open. If academic independence is encouraged by Wilkes, then its policies should prove it. The most irrational justifications often given by professors for their personal attendance policies goes something like this: "I'm not going to teach class for a handful of students. If I have to prepare a lecture, you must be there. I'm not doing my job if no one is there to listen to me." We think there should be another motivating factor. It's called a SALARY, which comes from our tuition. That's not an arrogant statement. It's just the truth. They must teach for one or 30 students. Think about this. When a fan pays for a season ticket, the team must still play the game whether the ticketholder attends or not. We pay to have an option. Or so we think. But if Wilkes continues to have an attendance policy, there should be a compromise. MAKE IT UNIFORM AND SEE - THAT IT'S ENFORCED BY EVERY PROFESSOR. . Don't allow one teacher to permit three absences with exceptions (excused, school-r~lated, etc.) while another can set a limit of three with no excepuons. Be fair and consistent about attendance. We certainly pay enough to be awarded that courtesy. Dachau? A terribly disturbing incident happened on campus re_cently that was inspired by anti-semitism. Som~one took the ~1me to carve intricate Nazi symbols and hate-filled slogans in_ bo!h English and German on a table in the Stark Lobby w~1ch 1s frequented by ·a Jewish student (~ee t~e Letters to the Editor). The act was deliberate and s1ckemng. This was not the work of an amateur. The diagrams were exact replicas of those seen in German_y, the birthplac~ of Nazism. They weren't the sloppy drawings of a m1sgmded kid. How do we know? Beacon editorial board members Jim Clark, John McLaughlin and Vaughn Shinkus visited the Dachau Concentration Camp last year and saw firsthand the terror of genocide. It can go a lot further than drawings on a table. A nd that makes what happened in the Stark Lobby disgusting beyond belief. �• • TH E B EACON THE BEACON V O L.43 NO.Z SEPTEMBERZ0,1990 RaJed as a Fjrst Class ntwspaper with one mark of distinction by th, Associated C ollegiat, Press 1990-91 EDITORIAL STAFF JIM CLARK - - EDITOR-IN-CHIEF TOM OBRZUT - - MANAGING EDITOR JEFFREY C.

The three other students had brief biographies written about their lives and activities on campus. I decided to write to the Beacon and remember Joel with respect.

Most Beacon articles written and "hit the mark." Perhaps more needed to meet past standards, in which article should have been held for a week properly. Last week's article was especially insulting to the memory of Joel Rosenthal and to all who knew him, partic1:Ilarly his family and close friends. I would like to say a {ew things about Joel that should have been included last week. Joel was unique in many ways. Not only did he hold a 4.0 cum at Wilkes, but he always found the time to help his classmates with their work or personal goals. Joel always gave of himself (110%!!!). He had the benefits of wisdom that come from age, he was in his late thirties; the insight of a learned man, he had his degree in nursing and had attended several schools previous to Wilkes; and the zest for learning, he was a student just like us. Joel came to Wilkes to build upon his foundations in the health care field. He was going to go to medical school. While here at Wilkes, he began to investigate other professional avenues in biology and chemistry, particularly Ph. D. programs. This makes his death, like all others, seem so unfair. Joel was a man with so much potential and enthusiasm for learning - Wilkes truly lost a gift. Sincerely, Michele Corbett �THE BEACON SEPT. 20, 1990 ershow were on the edge of their seats.

Yeah, right. Like I don't have anything better to do this weekend." Well, trust me, you don't. You can give any excuse you want. You're not into seeing a religious play. You don't want to miss a party. Community theatre is usually laughable. You're wrong on all accounts. I'm not religious. It didn't matter. I didn't miss any parties. They were still around. I was in for one of the most riviting plays I've ever seen--on or off-Broadway. There were no excuses that held, and we have quite a few Wilkes University students to thank for it. Little Theater of Wilkes-Barre's presentation of Andrew LLoyd Webber's smash seventies rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar opened last Friday, September 14th, in celebration of the show's 20th anniversary. Superstar features the talent of six Wilkes students. In the cast, John McLaughlin, a senior, performs the role of Judas Iscariot. Found in the 1:. pit orchestra are: Jeff senior, on drums; Joe Lisa, junior, on guitar; Bob Lugiano, junior, on trumpet; Lisa Primatic, junior, on flute; and Nathan Santos, junior, on bass. These players, along with the rest of the cast and crew, created a truly sensational production. Under the collaboration of director, Stephen F. Hartman, musical director, Linda Houck, and choreographer, Rob Robinson, this uniquely-dramatic performance was executed brilliantly. Uniquely-dramatic is almost an understatement. From the opening strains of the Overture, people The actors performed with unparall emotion and energy. By the second act, the leads, Jesus Christ, played by Jack Evans, J Iscariot, played by John McLaughlin, and Magdeline, played by Andrea Petrosky, had h racing and adreneline flowing. When Jesus crucified, I heard a wristwatch alarm sound across the auditorium. How's that for comp attentive silence? The Showcase Theater, Tunkhannock Ave., Exeter, recently concluded a two-week run of the comedy/drama Steel Magnolias.

He is the perfect illustration of a human being who struggles to survive in the world, regardless of his physical disabilities. Liam Neelson plays Payton Westlake, a scientist who is on the verge of creating skin prosthetics which can be attachetl to the human body in place of missing skin tissue. However, when his girlfriend becomes innocently entangled in mob procedings, Westlake finds himself the target of the mob's fury. They destroy his laboratory and leave him horribly disfigured. Thus, Darkman is born. He salvages what is left of his computer equipment and sets up a new lab in an abandoned warehouse. This is where we get the first glimpse of the eerie and spectacular lighting effects that director Sam (The Evil Dead) Raimi displays in capturing an atmosphere similar to the catacombs in The Phantom of the Opera .. Incidentally, this film is a combination of The Phantom, The Hunchback From Notre_Dame, and the Shadow (of comic book fame). Darkman now posseses the ability to change his appearance by creating masks which emulate faces from photographs. He proceeds to take candid photos of the mob thugs who battered him. Now he is ready. He uses a variety of disguises to infiltrate the mob and to exact his revenge. In many ways, Darkman resembles Batman .. Both films make explicit use of dimly lit alleys and streaking shadows: Danny Elfman is also behind the pulsating musical score, as he was for Batman. However, the film has a life all its own, separate from that of the Dark Knight . Darkman is more true to life than other action heroes. He is a real human being who possesses no superhuman powers. On the contrary, he shows powerful emotions of despair and sadness. Darkman succeeds due to his strong will, and Darkman, the movie, succeeds due to its incredible mystique and aura. 1. 7 5 Karges began his act by selecting five - semi-willing volunteers from the audience.

It was during this period that Karges' uncle taught him the tricks of the trade, and Craig has been performing these feats for the past 10 years. The 32 year old Karges performs about 180 shows a year; 130 of which are on college campuses. Student reactions were basicaHy the same concerning Karges' performance Saturday night. "I enjoyed it, it was a really good show," stated Wilkes student Wayne McDonnell. Nicolette Yevich, who earlier brought Karges paycheck on the stage, said, "I thought it was incredible because I didn't believe he could do the things he did." Karges refered to himself as being "just an entertainer" throughout the show. You don't have to be a mind reader to know he's a gifted entertainer, you simply have to read the audience reaction to see that Karges would definitely be welcomed back to Wilkes. �SEPT.

The Colonels broke their scoring drought as senior co-captain and pre-season AIi-American Brian DeAngelo rushed for a score and kicker Mike Dungan's extra point cut it to 14-7. What followed was one of the more exciting finishes from a football team wearing the blue and gold in recent history. Colonels fans buckled their seatbelts as everyone in the stadium anxiously awaited the ensuing onside kick. Dungan did an excellent job in hilling a knuckleball off an Albright player, and sophomore · defensive back Tom Whille was there to pounce on it. Lucas then engineered a drive down the field culminating in a touchdown pass to senior tight end Matt Sullivan with no time remaining.

Two of those players are seniors Martina Petrosky, who will captain the offense, and Dawn Smith, who will be the captain of the defense. Petrosky, a senior from Catasaqua, PA, will be heavily relied on to anchor the bffense and provide scoring from the left side. "Martina has two years experience," said teammate Lindsey Krivenko, who will be playing midfield. "She has a good stick and good control, she is a real aggressive player." "Martina is really good around the goal," said sophomore forward Laura Gordon, who will team up offensively with Petrosky. "She can really do the job at the left side, tapping the ball into the goal." Smith, from Mountaintop, PA, will provide the leadership defensively with her fine tackling and good clearing skills. She will get plenty of help from junior Sue Weisgerber. The Lady Colonels opened their season with a 1-0 loss at home to Wells College of New York. Things got better later in the week as Wilkes traveled to Miscricordia and recorded their first win of the season, 2-1, behind two scores from Petrosky. "We were a much more relaxed team," said Malatesta. "Our individual talent really showed, and we were much more aggressive and our players attacked better. The defense was also better. It was just a better all around performance." This Saturday the Lady Colonels hosted Albright and had to settle for a scoreless tic in double overtime despite pelting Albright with forty shots on goal.

But, two solid wins later, the Colonels soccer team is poised to avenge a defeat by F.D.U. Madison which knocked them out of last years M.A.C. playoffs. Since last week, the Colonels have faced Scranton U., the Upsala Vikings, and Division II power Bloomsburg. Wilkes came away with two victories from these three matches behind solid defense and timely scoring. Against Scranton, the Colonels lost a hcartbrcakcr 2-1, with Paul Jellcn scoring the lone Colonel goal off a Chris Dahm assist. "It was a very even game, and Scranton just capitalized on their chances better than we did," said head coach Phil Wingert. Offensively, it was a different story against the Upsala Vikings as six different players scored in the 6-1 conference win. Mike Lenczycki, Ron Rainey, Tom Horbacz, Dean Kontemetros, Thomas Ross Andrake, and Dave Unsicer knocked in goals for the Colonels. The Upsala win squared the Colonels record at 3-3, and gave them confidence for the contest with the Division II Bloomsburg Huskies. A vocal crowd fired up the Colonels and helped them to secure a 1-0 victory. Wilkes scored on a Dahm pcntaly kick which was set up after Rainey was fouled in the pcntaly box. Dahm rocketed the free kick past the left side of the Huskies' goalie. "I wanted to take the shot real quick and catch the goalie off guard," said Dahm. "I took the shot real fast and he just stood there. He didn't have time to react." "The team is playing really well now, everybody is hustling and playing hard, hopefully we can put something together," he said. Defensively, the Colonels shut-out effort was led by goalie Kevin Tronkowski, Craig Larimer, Brian Loy, and Doug Albertson. · The Colonels will look to avenge last year's 1-0 defeat when they travel to Madison, New Jersey on Saturday to take on F.D.U. in a conference game. "They came in last year and upset us," said Albertson. "Now, we hope to go down there and return the favor."

WILKES UNIVERSITY'S WEEKLY SEPTEMBER 13, 1990 'Balloon Man ' strikes again By VAUGHN SHINKUS Beacon News Editor urtain members "chicken it up" at last WILKES-BARRE - A fraudulent psychology experiment involving message-filled balloons has resurfaced at Kings College. According to Wilkes Security Coordinator Gerald' Cookus, an individual has again been placing balloons containing official-looking messages on the Kings College campus. On August 27, Kings College security officers found a large yellow balloon c_o ntaining a message requesting student involvement in a experiment for Penn State Psychology 202, a non-existant course. The alleged experiment claims to test an individual's "ability to follow directions," directing the finder to another location and promising a monetary reward for involvement. A prior incident involving the "balloon man" occurred last February when similar balloons were found on North Main Street and Public Square. The individual is described as a white male, of medium build, in his early thirties, with light brown hair and a small beard.

"You mean a $2 bet in Oregon is going to convince an NFL quarterback to throw a game, but a $1 million bet ·n Las Vegas has no impact?" Danny Sheridan, a sports analyst for USA TODAY and the Cable News Network, said: "You're talking peanuts here compared to what's wagered in Nevada." Opponents, however, fear that Oregon's experiment with the sports book - the first of its kind in this country - . could lead to a rapid proliferation of state-sponsored sports betting. "It's a serious threat to public confidence in our game," said Greg Aiello, director of communications for the National Football League. "It transforms a healthy sport into a full-fledged gambling activ~ty." Richard Levin, Major League Baseball's director of public relations, said: "We're overwhelmingly opposed to that kind of lottery. We're opposed to any form of gambling." The sports lottery is a state-sponsored effort to ease the needs of the state's financially strapped college athletic programs without raising new taxes. Officials hoped to raise about $2 million for colleges in the game's first year. But sales fell short of projections. Some of the earnings were used to replace shortfalls in the lottery's numbers games, and the athletic departments received only $400,000. The lower earnings sparked an outcry from some who thought they were misled by lottery officials, but university officials said they were thankful for the money they received.

A time to honor the hard working people of our nation. A time to sit back, relax, and congratulate ourselves for surviving another year in the rat race. A time for backyard barbecues, picnics, and, of course, Jerry Lewis. At least that's what Labor Day is for most Americans. For Wilkes students, faculty, and staff, however, Labor Day represents, ironically enough, just another day of labor. Each August, Wilkes students return to campus days before the end-of-summer holiday. A national holiday, Labor Day is observed by all government agencies, most businesses, ~nd_ al~ state-run universities. As a private mst1tut1on, however, Wilkes has no obligation to honor the holiday, and instead holds classes as though it is just another day. G ranted, th e argument remains th at, prior to labor day, regular classes are adjourned for nearly three months of uninterrupted leisure time. For many students and faculty, though, summer is spent not vacationing, but working to support their school-time endeavors. Aside from our absence at various social events, the Wilkes community projects a much deeper message by holding classes on Labor Day. We're confirming the widely held American belief that education is not important. Unlike the American work force, be it blue or white collar, the fruits of our labor are not monetary, but cerebral. The liberal arts education produces well-rounded individuals, knowledgeable in various areas of human existence. This form of labor-- the ?evelopment of t~e mind-- is perhaps the most important step rn strengthening American cultural development. Is Labor Day so insignificant that we can't fit it into our college agenda, or are our studies here at Wilkes so insignificant that we need . not take the time off to relax on a national holiday? One final word to the agenda setters: our labor is important, give us a break.

The decision by Wilkes University not to intervene on behalf of its off-campus students when South Wilkes-Barre residents complain about noise and rowdiness doesn't say much about its committment to that sect of its student population.

Although everyone should obey the law, Wilkes' determination to let the police serve as Mayor Lee Namey's "ego police" by busting a few drunk college students is inexcusable. In the residence halls, there is always an RA to mediate these difficult situations. Why not extend the same courtesy to off-campus students? Is it because they don't pay dorm costs? Or is Wilkes afraid of the scare tactics of the Times Leader's talented, yet inflammatory Steve Corbett? Or both? It looks like Wilkes' image must stay shiny clean . .

':"~LKES-BARRE - "We would have felt really absurd Just s1ttrng at home," 10,000 Maniacs' Natalie Merchant told reporters of the Maniacs' desire to travel a desire that will bring the band to Wilkes University. ' - The New York based 10,000 Maniacs, comprised of Merchan~, lead vocals; Jerome Augustyniak, drums; Robert Buck, gun~s; and Steven Gustafson, bass, will perform at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on October 26th. · The music of 10,000 Maniacs has never been easily categorized. A major factor contributing to the group's distinct sound is the environment in which the Maniacs were nurtured -- rural Jamestown , New York, a small town seven hours northwest of Manhattan. - Pres1111 a chilling h who is , by the st resumed! cott Turo· "In Jamestown," Dennis Drew recalled , "There was never any music community for us to become a part of or to be influenced by. So we were able to develop in a vacuum and come out sounding like ourselves." In the Maniacs' earlier days, which originally included rhythm guitarist John Lombardo, the group appeared throughout upstate New York performing covers of post-punk English groups like Joy Division and the Gang of Four, and reggae favorites by Bob Marley and the Mighty Diamonds. Following their 1981 performance debut, the band gradually began to include original works in their repertoire, and also added flavors of country, folk and bluegrass music to create their char:acteristic sound. mer. n J. I nt's M that he Willi sive atmo: (Ford) is comes ot rou s rel at1 suspect \\ nnie (D ted and fa worker ' w Over the next three years, the Maniacs released two records on their own Christian Burial label: a five-track EP, Human Conflict No. Five, and a full-length album, Secrets of the I Ching. It was this album which produced the Maniacs' first hit. "My Mother the War," a single from the Secrets of the l Ching album, enabled the album to reach #26 in the U.K. -not bad, considering it was the only American record to place in the BBC's Top 50 in 1983. 10,000 Maniacs made a brief to ur of the U .K. in 1984, and then S,igned wi th Elektra Records in early 1985. Their Elektra debut album, The Wishing Chair, became one of the most critically-acclaimed releases of 1985. The success of this album blazed a trail for future success with releases such as the 1987 In My Tribe album and the Maniacs' latest release, Blind Man's Zoo, in 1989. Rubes® Throughout 1989, 10,000 Maniacs, ope ning for such headliners as the Grateful Dead, received wide acclaim for their live shows. Lead vocalis t Merchant was especially well-received for her eloquent, expressive performances. The acclaim is still strongly evident today as the band continues to add to its devoted following, particu larly among college students, who are attracted to the rock/folk sound and socially-conscious lyrics. Wilkes Programming Board Concert Director, Kevin Tronkowski, says he "hopes to get a good response" to the concert. He stated that the initial interest and feedback from students on club day was encouraging, and he hopes that the public will also come out to see the band. Ticket sales are projected to begin during the first week of October. Prices are set at $10 for students and $15 for the gen~.ral public. ew D made· film ~ y Dick s and with a· viewe arder It wo: e case the m, and it 'stop r ever,, only r d q ual 's a loc • Die Ha, s as the h, ely lucky ht time.

Over the past 30 years, young adults have from wearing ponytails and bellbottom pants to Air Jordan's with the Nike swish. e people have their own style while others conform of society. ·n individuals possess a quick draw to their purses when they see a new fluorescent pair of Nikes or (British Knights) gracing the glass of a display . On the other hand, there are those people who like their own statement in regards to how they don their wear their hair. IIOITIIS There are also those individuals who are different just because they are being themselves. They dare to stand up to ridicule because they believe in themselves and know that those who are close to them will like them for who they are instead of what they're wearing. Orre of the most disapointing traits of human nature is ridicule. Loud and obnoxious criticism is the worst form of this behavior. Even though this ridicule is already taking place at Wilkes, some people still dare to be different with their own style, regardless of snickers and taunts from ignorant students . People will always have their own opinions about fashions which they think are ridiculous, but they shouldn't voice them aloud to a person they don't even knvw; and I emphasize: person. Everyone has tried to be different at some time in his or her life. Do you remember the time you got your hair cut a certain ·.vay because it was the "in" style, even though it didn't loo!~ quite right on you? Or, have you ever bought a pair of phnts or a shirt that was "in," but it was really "out" on you? And do you remember how much it hurt when someone criticized you? Well, imagine being criticized every day for being yourself... pretty frightning, huh? As long as you like the way something looks on you, that's all that counts. Being high on yourself is "in," and being an obnoxious jerk is a fad that has been on its way "out" for years. Keep your roommates in line. Call 1800 654-0471. Down.

What wound up happening was that Shawn had a minor stomach disorder his junior year in high school and the Air Force cancelled his scholarship. But Shawn decided to come an y way. That's the type of kid he was." Galbreath's first three seasons at Wilkes could best be described as injury-filled. In his freshman year, he wrestled Lehigh's best wrestler and lost by one point. "We had, real high hopes for Shawn, but then he tore his rotator cuff in the Wilkes Open," said Reese. His sopohomore and junior seasons followed suit as Galbreath sustained an injury to his knee, reinjured his shoulder, and suffered a concusion. • "I think the reason Shawn got hurt was because he wrestled so hard," said Reese. "In everything he did he went full tilt." But according to Reese, Galbreath was determined to put all that behind him and gear up for his senior season. "Before Shawn went home he came in to see me and told me he was going to see the doctor, he wanted to be healthy when he came back," said Reese. "When I talked to his father after the accident he said Shawn had one of his best summers. He was happy and had worked real hard." · "Shawn was a great kid," said Reese.

"We won't surprise any teams this year, they all know we have some talent," said Lenczycki.

The Colonels kicked off their tough schedule with a second place finish in a tournament held at Christopher Newport College, and then came home to beat Baptist Bible before losing to nationally ranked Messiah. In their opener in Newport News, Virginia, the Colonels lost to host Christopher Newport College, 2-1 , with Dahm scoring the lone goal. On the second day of the tournament, the Colonels beat Randolph Macon, 3-2, and in a tie breaker were awarded a second place trophy in the tournament, finishing runner-up to SUNY Fredonia.

Kest will now take a position at the· University of Maine as an assistant coach. , Kest said the opportunity to advance to the Division I ranks was too great of an oppurtunity to pass up. "This is something I have always had the desire to do," said Kest. "My goal is to someday be a head coach at the Division I level." Kest will be leaving one quality program for another at Maine. Last year the Lady Black Bears finished 25-6 and made it to the women's National Invitational Tournament. "Maine has a quality program and has a lot of quality people, I think it will be a great oppurtunity for me." Kest took over a struggling Lady Colonel program four years ago and has brought it full circle. In the last two years, Kest has compi led a 31-20 record. She has also· lead her team to M.A.C. and E.C.A.C. playoff births. This would easily explain the disappointment of some of her players. "I was totally surprised," said junior center Zoka. "I don't think anyone expected her to I She was more than just a coach to us, off the court was someone we could talk to; her door was al open." "It's a really big surprise, especially with season only a few weeks away," said sopho forward Missy Chinchar. "They say there are people applying for the job with the applica deadline being Friday. We are supposed to have say in who gets the job. Hopefully they will m decision soon so we can get ready for the season." Kest is confident her leaving will not hurt Lady Colonels program. She said she is confide will allow for progression. "The players that are remaining are a really group," said Kest. "Plus I think they haves really talented freshman coming in." Still Kest admits leaving Wilkes was not an decision for her to make. · "The hardest part about leaving was the fact will not get to see my players develop flilly, both the court and as young women. The players al worked very hard to get the program where it is and it is very difficult for me to say goodbye. I miss all the good times and memories that we sh Jodi Kest Cunningham won't take blame By JIM CLA RK Beacon Editor WILKES-BARRE - Ever since he became the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback, the entire burden of the team's success has rested on Randall Cunningham's shoulders. For a while, he thrived on the pressure, even welcomed the challenge. But things have changed. Cunningham showed off a new flat-top haircut and a revised attitude during a late-summer visit to the area. "With the way we (the Eagles) play, we can basically make it to the playoffs each year as long as we play hardcore football with the _black shoes and the Buddy Ryan attitude," Cunningham said. "But if we get to a point where everyone is second-guessing, wondering if we can do it, then I think there are problems. "If we can get to the playoffs, it's going to take a lot of coaching to carry us because Buddy's brought all these great athletes in and we know how to play football. Now, the coaching's got to kick in." It's interesting that Cunningham, who was less productive last year than in '88, chose to shift the attention to head coach Ryan, who's in the final year of a five-year contract. After years of waiting for the Eagles (0-1 after Sunday's loss to the Giants) to build an offensive line to protect him, Cunningham seems to be protecting himself. But he' s clearly tired of being the only one praised or punished for the Eagles' results . "There's a lot of pressure on me and I try to take it all in stride," he admitted. "But there are times when I'm out there working hard and the other guys are working hard, and they 're still looking to me to make something happen. We all have to work together and I know that. My first year, I tried to go out and win games by myself and you can't do that as a quarterback." Cunningham refers to the San Francisco 49'ers, the NFL's best team, as the prime example to follow. "Look at a guy like Joe Montana," he said. "Dan Marino might have a better arm, but Joe has a lot of guys who are working with him. So if we (the Eagles) can all work together, I might not be forced to be the leading rusher and I might not have to do so many things to make our team better. Other guys have got to make the big plays." But don't get the idea that Cunningham wants just Ryan and his teammates to improve. He knows he turned in disappointing efforts in a 30-20 loss at New Orleans that cost the Eagles a division title and in a 21-7 wildcard loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Like the Eagles, Cunningham has reached a crossroads, but he's hitting it on the run literally. · 'Tm working out harder than I ever have," Cunningham said. "Every year, I try to step it up just a little bit. I've been running long distance. I hate to do it, but I'm doing it. bou . many I yesterda hich begi "ib unders tic to e:i-l other rulers Nejib feels u Like many nee, short o ission .

"I want to generate new ideas and encourage representatives to brainstorm." WILKES -BARRE - Wilkes University will be fferi ng an interdisciplinary minor next fall dealing ith Women's Studies. According to Dr. Patricia Heaman, a member of e Coordinating Committee, the new minor is the rainchild of the Women's Faculty Caucus, who have en working on it for the past two years. Last mmer, a proposal was made by Dr. Heaman and ursing professor and fellow committee member Karen minski , and it was passed in December. Heaman commented that, "Roles are changing in iety, and everyone has to make adjustment. It (the ew min or) means a lot to women because it traduces a changed knowledge of the discipline." Ten courses have already been developed for the Women's Studies minor, including the required Introduction to Wome!}'s Studies''. , and more are in the works. In fact, two courses will be offered this summer which can be used as credits for the minor: "Poetry by Women" , taught by Dr. Gutin ; and "Women in the Industrial Era", which will be taught by Professor Serine. Courses for the fall semester that will be credited towards a Women's Studies minor include "Intercultural Communications", "Studies of Peace and War", "The Family" and "Human Sexuality". The courses will deal with contemporary issues such as women in history, women's movements, and sex roles in language. Members of the Coordinating Committee that have established the course requirements, in addition to Heaman and Kaminski are Jane Elmes-Crahall of the Communications department, Michael Garr from Sociology, and Wagiha Taylor from Business and Economics. Anyone who is interested in learning more about an interdisciplinary minor in Women's Studies can contact anyone from the committee. Convention held at Indiana University of Pennsylvania on April 28. The convention is held annually to provide undergraduate student researchers with an oppo11unity to present the results of research that they have carried out. This year's ISC convention included presentations by students from Duquesne University, Bloomsburg University, Franklin and Marshall College, Elizabethtown College, the University of Maryland , West Chester University, Juniata College, Ursinus College, the University of Delaware, and Wilkes. The keynote address of the conference was presented by Dr. David M. Hercules, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh. The topic of his presentation was surface science. Research reports were presented in the areas of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, and physical chemistry. Student papers were judged by a panel of industrial chemists with awards given based on the originality of design f the experimental techniques, the interpretation of results, and the quality of the presentation. Hoffman reported o a study of the photochemical isomerization of dibenzoyl ethylenes using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) as the means of separation and quantitative analysis of mixtures of the two isomers. Shelly Herb, a Wilkes sophomore chemistry major and Hoffman's roommate, collaborated with Hoffman in carrying out the research work which was done under the direction of professor William Stine. Both Hoffman and Herb are contemplating careers in scientific research. • �3, 1990 MAY PAGE2 erearet _ee timesin our · u nee ____ · tos • a __ to save a few have an alte Commission ted a new pl at Wilkes.

Journalism is a powerful medium, and I now have the priviledge of using this marvelous medium to thank people who have helped me not only this year, but throughout these past four-and-a-half years. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for allowing me to come to Wilkes and not turning your backs on me when a difficult situation arose. You've done everything for me and Patrick for our entire lives, and I know that we could never repay you for all thatyou have done for us.

Andrew Mits Teacher Certification Candidate A s I sit at my computer and hack away at this editorial column, one thing keeps running through my mind. "This is it Lee; this is the last one you will ever write for The Beacon. You will never again represent The Beacon and its editorial views." For those of you who know me, you understand that that is the hardest thing for me to handle. I have represented this paper for two years and have held the position as the proudest thing I have ever done. I shed a tear as I hand over the editorial reins (to Jim Clark) of this Wilkes institution for coming up on 43 years. Through The Beacon I have witnessed many things at Wilkes. I have witnessed history. May 1989 - Senator Bill Bradley speaks at Commencement. January t, 1990-Wilkes College becomes a University. I have witnessed solidarity. April, 1989 - Wilkes seniors stand up for their right to graduate at Ralston Field. I have witnessed tragedy. January 1986 - Arthur Hoover, Dean of Student Affairs, and friend to everyone, dies of a heart attack. January 1988 - Wilkes Freshman Craig Piatt dies at the hands of a drunk driver.

And so started the final Wilkes theatre produ.ction of the 1989-90 season. The booms were made by the theatrical staffs held by Alphonse and Gaston (Jim Evans and Ed Kappler). The entire show, directed by Walter Kelly, was delightfully funny. It kept the audience chuckling throughout, and even in hysterics in parts. Kelly took a big risk with this show, by keeping the play in verse. The risk turned into a major success, in the fonn of The School/or Wives. As has become a custom of Wilkes theatre, Rob Johansen was once again superb. Johansen set a strong pace for the other actors to follow, since he occupied the stage for 95% of the time. A graduating theatre major, Johansen has left behind a legacy that will not soon be forgotton. He excelled in the slapstick humor that dominated some scenes (for example when he explains to his servants how he wants his rival to be treated), out his strongest points were much more subtle. Johansen showed little nuances of Amolphe's character. throughout the entire show. Simple facial expressions from this master of theatre had the audien~e rolling in their seats. Amy Braun, as the heroine Agnes, delighted the audience with her innocense and naivete. Like Johansen, she was able to control the audience with mere looks. Braun had the audience laughing from the moment she stepped on stage, without ever uttering a line. Her blank look of complete ignorance had them in stitches. Adding much to the slapstick humor of the show were Gail P. Stone and Sean Riley. As the bawdy servants Georgette and Alain, they constantly fumbled their attempts to assist Amolphe. The audience was left wondering if all their fumbling was earnest or just an act to enable them to abuse their master. Wilkes graduate, Ed Buonocore was most charming as the hero, Horace. When describing each new disaster that had befallen his love affair, he mimed the various bits of action, such as being thrust into a closet and falling off a ladder. His very physical perfonnance kept the audience interested even he had long pieces of exposition. The remaining characters succeeded in keeping the p action moving. As Agnes' father, Enrique, Zimmerman was very convincing. Arnolphe's comp Chrysalde was portrayed by Sam Troy and Chris Collins played Orante. Designed by John Cardoni, the abstract set left mucb the imagination of the audience. In their minds they able to create the set for each scene. This open set extremely well with this particular play. The technical directing for the show was done by student as opposed to the usual faculty director. Fre Jamie Kurtz, did a fine job organizing the construction of set under the tuteledge of Bill Turcan. Costume mistress, Gail P. Stone, was very inno by using sweats as the base for all the costumes. The entire production of the School for Wives ca the imaginations of the audience and kept them tho entertained. It was a delight to see. • Goodbye to my three amigos by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor If there is one thing that I have learned since first joining The Beacon in 1988, that would be the ability to accept honest criticism. When I began writing for the newspaper two years ago I was a bit to colorful in some of the "many multitudes of magnificant metaphors" I used, not to mention my overuse of my alliterative skills. I was made aware of this fact and I feel that my writing has improved because of this revelation. I have received these helpful hints from my departing paper pals Lee Morrell, Kathy Harris, and Michele Broton. Good luck Lee in your future endeavors. They will be prosperous and fulfilling. However, I wish bad luck to the Rangers, the Yankees, and those arch enemies of the Redskins, the Dallas Cowboys. Thank you for being a good friend.

She's not particularly pretty or tall or unusual to look at. In fact, when Melissa Etheridge walks out on stage, you wouldn't think she's anything special. That is until she opens her mouth. Then, from somewhere, comes this voice, this incredible voice. Gritty, powerful, soulful, sensual, and decidedly unique, this voice radiates out and touches each person in a different way. It sets some feet to tapping and some minds to remembering. Songs like Precious Pain and I Remember How You Loved Me bring back memories those less than satisfying moments in love affairs. But it was more than just the music that made the Melissa Etheridge concert fabulous. It was the entire atmosphere. The Havalinas started it all. Their folk music, that bordered on hard rock, was as unique as the band itself. While the lead singer, Tim McConnell, played guitar and sang, the bass player, Smutty Smith, danced all over the stage. He was not using an electric bass, however, but an old fashioned wooden stand-up bass. It was simply incredible. Their music was beyond belief. Songs like Sticks and Stones (built the bigot's home) with its driving beat and powerful lyrics had the audience moving while dealing with an important issue in the world today - prejudice. During their song Tijuana, Smith laid on the stage with his bass, and the McConnell stood on the bass while playing guitar. In this same number, the drummer, Charlie Quintana, played the drums with maracas to give that authentic hispanic sound. The Havalinas played for about a half hour, and then, at 9 p.m., Melissa Etheridge hit the stage. There is no way to adequately describe what happened when she came on stage. She literally took over the minds of everyone in the audience. Etheridge sang and danced her way through one song after another. Boom-ch-ch. Boom-ch-ch. Her guitar rang out with each strum. The audience roared their approval of Chrome-plated Heart and Royal Station 4116. But the biggest signs of their delight came not when they roared, but when they were silent. They were silent for Only Lonely, which is sung semi-acapella with Etheridge beating out a rythym on the back of her guitar. Melissa Etheridge belts out a tune at the Kirby this past Tuesday night Again they were silent during the moving performance of You Can Sleep While I It could be said that the audience was sedate. I mean they weren't storming the dancing in the aisles. But if you were in the F.M. Kirby Center on Tuesday nig probably wouldn't say that. In fact, you'd probably say that they were wild. Not animal wild, but just wild about Melissa Etheridge. photo by llchlll WHY HAUL YOUR STUFF HOME THIS SUMMER ? .

There is no question about the ideas floating around inside head of Wilkes tennis player Spencer Corbett. "I think I will dominate the MAC next year," said Corbett ingly. The reason for such looseness? The men's tennis team, under first year head coach Greg on, cranked out their first victory in three years, knocking Allentown College last week, winning a 6-3 decision.

The Colonels will be playing in the MAC playoffs this weekend at Haverford College. "Whoever wants to reach a distant goal must take many small steps." --Helmut Schmidt No one knows this better than newly appointed head football coach Joe Demelfi, who takes over a Colonel program that has been 3-17 over the last two years. Demelfi, a former assistant at Bloomsburg University, seems determined to · put the program back on the map. "We are ready to go, I can't wait to start the season," said the no nonsense Demelfi. "We're not miracle workers, we're football coaches. We can't promise victories but we hope next year is the start of a very good program down the road." Demelfi will be looking to what he feels is good returning nucleus to lay the ground work for rebuilding. . He will be looking for leadership from linebacker Craig Grochowski, defensive lineman Aubin Sevrin, and running back Brian DeAngelo. "We have a good nucleus and some leadership," said Demelfi. "Right now we have about 50 people in our weight program. Our strength test have showed that our bench presses and leg strength has gone up. "We will need some of our freshman to mature for us but I'm really happy with the players so far, I think most of them will be working really hard." If not Demelfi has 44 newcomers lined up for next year. "We think we have a pretty good class of freshmen coming in next year," said Demelfi. The bottom line is everything will come down to what happens every Saturday afternoon at Ralston Field and other MAC stadiums. And Demelfi knows this. "We will look for improvement weekly," said Demelfi. "There are three things a football team can cio through out a season. It can stay the same, get better, or get worse. Hopefully, we will get better."

"He probably had the best senior year of anybody in the Valley," said Rainey. "He is agressive, runs the floor, and we think he can rebound the ball. He can play power or small forward. He has real potential." In Sheplock, Rainey feels he has landed a physical presence around the basket. "Sheplock is a banger, he has a good body, and he is a pretty confident kid," said Rainey. "He could be the type of player to come in and really help us." Rainey has also landed Bob Hickey, a 5'10" point guard from Warren Hills High School in New Jersey. "He scored 1,000 points in high school, he is a good passer and handles the ball well," said Rainey. "If we could sell our experiences for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires." --Abigail Van Buren In my first three years at Wilkes, I have had so many memorable experiences. Rooming with Gary "Spaz" Hrobuchak for three straight years has that effect on you. But seriously, "Spaz" will be leaving for Philadelphia College of Podiatric Medicine next fall, and I want to wish him the best. Thanks for everything Gary. I know I am richer. Gary's departure means a new roomate, and that just happens to be Jeff Gregory. Anyone have a muzzle or earplugs? "Now and then it is good to pause in our pursuit of happiness and just be happy." --Unknown No one is credited for this quote, but I think. I'll take the advice this summer.

The guys will be wearing leather jackets, tee shirts and jeans to go along with their greased back hair. The girls will be wearing poodle skirts and bopby socks. • Mention 1956 to Jim Nolan, this year's Beacon male athlete of the year, and a diffrent picture will come to his head. Nolan's picture of 1956 will span four years, the four he stared at shooting guard for the Colonels in the process of wringing up the all time scoring record, 1,956 points. Mention the· record to Nolan, however, and he modestly changes the subject. "I think it was a great accomplishment but I wish we could have won more," said Nolan. "I think I will remember all the big wins we had the most. Every time we beat Kings, beating FDU-Madison at their gym when they were ranked 13th in the nation, that's what I will remeber. No follower of Wilkes basketball will soon for get the season Nolan· turned in -this year. His accomplishments are longer than a five year old's Chritmas list. Nolan was ranked 5th in Division III in scoring with a 24.3 average. In 25 games he had 208 field goals, 26 of them the three point variety. He also ranked 13th in free throw percentage, connecting on 166 of 188 atempts, good for 88.3 %. Nolan has also been a tri-captain, All MAC two straight years, and District ALL-American this year. Head coach Ron Rainey says the key to Nolan's greatness has been his consistency. Musician and athlete Balestrini starred twice by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - Talk about a neat 24 hours • Lisa Balestrini not only got to meet Melissa Etheridge, her musical idol, at the Kirby Center on Monday night. _ But she also found out that she was chosen Beacon Lady Colonel of the Year the following day. Balestrini, an accomplished musician, wasn't forced to decide which was the greater hon~r. Let's just say she was happy with both. "Music has always been my first love," she said. "I was able to go backstage and shake her (Etheridge's) hand. I couldn't believe it. Lately, I've only been playing her music. in aperson's life. "When I was told I won the Beacon's award, I was completely shocked." It's not as if Balestrini doesn't deserve it. As the shortstop for the Lady Colonels' softball team, she provided solid play, hitting near .330. But true to_ her personality, Balestrini isn't satisfied. "I had a few too many errors in the field, and I didn't hit as well as I did last year," she said. "But I'm not worried about how I perform as an individual. Our team lost a heartbreaker the other day. That gets to me." Perhaps Balestrini's greatest accomplishment on the field this year came when -she reassumed the field hockey goalkeeper's status she had held at Bloomsburg University for the Lady Colonels. Balestrini credits a lot of her success to departed softball coach Vince Trivelpiece. "More than anyone in my years at Wilkes, he taught me discipline," she said. Rumor has it that Etheridge will present Balestrini's award on Sunday. After all, one great musician can't help but appreciate another. to "Jimmy is a good example of what co11::i and hard work will do for you," said Rainey. "He only missed one game in four years and that was freshman year, he got the flu and had to sit oul game. He has played close to 100 games for us." The six foot senior from South William High School was originally scheduled to au Colgate University, that was before their coach fired. "I decided to come to Wilkes because C Martin (assitant coach Dave Martin) was r interested in me and he recruited me pretty hard," Nolan. " I really trusted him. Plus, I thought w· had a good buisness school." It is no wonder Nolan was interested in busi When he stepped on the floor that is all he ever was.

"No game really sticks out because he was consistent. Maybe the Deleware Valley game home this year because he only scored eight · That was the only time he was held under d figures at Wilkes. He was just an excellent of~ · performer." The picture of Jim Nolan I will have will be trademark fluffy, curly hair with socks pulled to knees.

That is why when the game was over, fans players alike, knew he was a player.

After receiving coffee and doughnuts, the students congregated into one of the ference rooms to attend the seminar. Dr. Bradford Kinney, Chairman of the Communications Department, presented a !come and introduction to the students. He then proceeded to introduce the keynote er, Mary Ellen Alu, Staff Reporter of the Allentown Morning Call, and a Wilkes mnus. Alu spoke about the imJJortance of the rights of the First Amendment as they pertain ihe journalist to the students. She explained that, as a journalist, the First Amendment · ·ves him/her. "the right to look at public reports and wri te about them." She also mented that these actions were not appreciated by the local politicians: who constantly ss the journalists for investigating the public reports. Other guest speakers held seminars including Steve Corbett, Columnist for the Times ader, who gave a speech entitled "Ethics in Journalism"; Joe Butkiewicz, entertainment 'ter for the Times Leader, who lectured on "How to Structure a Review" ; Steve Sembrat, rts writer for the Times Leader spoke on "How to cover High School Sports"; and Ed kennan, Managing Editor for the Pittston Dispatch spoke on "Design Secrets for the Less Daily Newspaper." "Ethics is what you sense. is being right and what you sense is being wrong," said Corbett. He also stated that.common sense will bring further than natural things. "People don't like people with something to say." Butkiewicz explained that when writing a review, there is no set pattern, "The structure is different every time. You learn these things just by going in and doing it." When inquired on how he writes down things in the dark, he explained that he just scribbles into his notebook, without regard to lines or neatness. "Note taking is different from writing," said Ackerman. "Writing is like writing a letrer, while note taking is ret1d by you alone." Ackerman presented his speech with much witty humor, and asked questions ranging from who brought pens and whether they were using them to who wanted to get out for lunch. The editorial staff of the Beacon also had the chance to address the students. Lee Morrell, Beacon editor, and program coordinator; Kathy Harris, news editor and advertising manager; Jim Clark, sports editor; and Tom Obrzut, busines and distribution manager all addressed the students who had questions about college newspapers,' the way layout was done, etc. Awards were then given during lunch. The "Rookie of the Year" was awarded to Bishop Hoban's Fourth Estate. The best paper went to Crestwood's Comet Voice. The best writer was Tanya Evans, from Tunkhannock High School. Dave Pencek, also from Tunkhannock, was named the best sportswiter. The best sports-section was awarded to the Lakeland Lance. · Program Coordinator Lee Morrell felt very positive about the program's outcome, "I think it went wonderfully. I'm pleased that the 90 people who came did. I'm very pleased about the outcorrie." owl/or kids' sake WILKES-BARRE - Wouldn't you like to have the opportunity to in a vacation to Walt Disney World, Ocean City, Maryland or other citing places and at the same time help in a worth while cause?

Not.quite yet A number of weeks ago, a letter appeared in the Beacon Mailbox. The letter was by a freshman at Wilkes named Rob Gryziec. ·· lii iliili :1l lil- Those of you who know Rob, know that he is physfcally handicapped and confined to an electric scooter. He is unable to walk and his physical abilities are impaired. His mental skills, however, are honed to a razor sharp edge. This was apparent in the sarcastically critical letter that describes a typical day in the life of Rob Gryziec. His words cannot and should not be ignored. His problem, although it doesn't effect the majority of .Wilkes students, is one that must be alleviated. As long as the campus of Wilkes (no longer small College but upwardly mobile) University remains - for all intents and puqJOses - closed to the handicapped, we will be doing a major disservice to all students like Rob who want to further their education at Wilkes. · · As it stands at this moment, there are seven buildings that are handicapped accesible, although two are not accesible beyond the first floor. In Rob's case, not all of them are utilized. All of his classes are in Stark Learning Center, one of three academic buildings that are handicapped accesible. The others are Dorothy Dickson Darte and the Marts Center, which has classrooms. Being a Beacon Staff Writer, Rob uses the elevator in the SUB and, starting next year, when he.becomes a resident student, he will use the elevator_in Evans. He probaby has no need to get into Chase Hall, but what if he wants to get beyond the first floor? There is a ramp, but no elevator. Same with Pickering. Rob can eat but forget visiting the second floor. I haven't asked these questions of Rob because they are purely rhetorical. How does Rob buy his books? How will he get his mail? · Should he take a language, how does he visit the language lab? If Rob has trouble in Philosophy, how will he visit his professor in Bedford? He can forget using the library all together. Yes, many of these buildings, like the library have only a few steps, and a couple of strong guys can lift him up, but who do we think Rob is? He doesn't bring Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant with him. ast semester, I happened upon Rob waiting by one of the Stark doors. It was jammed and he couldn't open it. He was waiting for five minutes for someone to come along and open the door for him. This editorial was not meant to make anyone feel sorry for Rob. As someone who knows Rob, I can say he doesn't want that. He just wants the same rights and privileges that you and I have. What Rob wants is an open campus. · He wants the rights and ability to go anywhere on campus, unimpeded. With most of the buildings structured the way they are, this is an impossibility. Our administration explains it away by saying that the school schedules around people like Rob so that all of their classes are in Stark. What if it gets to the point where we have so many handicapped students that it becomes impossible to accommcxlate all of them? Everytime a new handicapped student registers it means two or three differet classes that need special scheduling. It will get out of hand. The handicapped need full accesibilty and deserve the same. Fix the existing ramps and build new ones. The SUB is an old building with a new elevator, so it can be done. We claim to be an equal-opportunity institution, it is time tc prove it. If it costs a few bucks, so what. Isn't it worth it?

This year, will be only four days a week, because "there was interest from the E for a three-day weekend,." said Kathie Flanagan-Herstek, Directer Wilkes' Evening, Summer, and Weekend Studies. Classes 111ll lengthened, however, one hour and 50 minutes to two hours and minutes to make up for the lost day. There will be four sessions: two day sessions, one evening and one weekend session. The first day session begins June 11 and through July 13, and the second day session runs from July 16 to A 17. The evening session begins June 11 anq ends August 3, and Weekender Program, held on the campus of Keystone Junior College from May 11 lo August 17. Several interesting courses are planned for this summer, including classes in the newly formed Women's Studies minor. Another ex class is the Earth and Environmental Sciences field trip to the Kc11 Peninsula in Michigan. This trip will allow students to collect and some of the oldest rocks in North America. Students interested in this must contact Dr. Sid Halsor and register for EES 298 for the fall se So instead of sleeping in or working your summer away, why not a summer course? If you are interested in taking a summer registration begins May 1. Since summer session classes are con 1 part-time classes, the tuition is $228 per credit. Gym classes cost half of one credit, or $114.

I APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 1, 1990 f L---~-----------------J �PAGES APRIL 26, 1990 Melissa Etheridge loves to be Ii "Playing live is the addiction I live for .... " So states Melissa Etheridge, who will be doing just that at the F.M. Kirby Center, joined by special guest The Havalinas, on Tuesday, May 1st at 8:00p.m. Like few others, Etheridge is a powerhouse vocalist with a stimulating handle on bushels of well-fumed phrases. Among her talents is the succinct way she compacts an abundance of meaning and emotion into a deftly phrased line or two. It may be too obvious to compare the 28-year-old Kansas native to Janis Joplin, but the similarities don't end with those lusty pipes and full-throat delivery. Like Joplin, Etheridge combines lyrical vulnerability with melodic power: it's th~ juxtaposition of fragility and strength that makes the two soul sisters. Success can affect an artist to different extremes, whether r~sulting in anxiety or fulfillment. The latter seems to be the case with Etheridge, whose angst-ridden self-titled debut album garnered widespread commercial and critical acclaim, including several international Platinum Records and a Gold Record in the States, as well as a 1988 Grammy nomination. Perhaps the title of her second album best sums up her attitude about her work -- Brave and Crazy. While her writing and performance can both iouch close upon emotional madness, the solid individual behind· the creative process consistently provides the balance, along with a simple message: "If people got something from what I did, I'd hope it would be 1) that it's okay to feel, and 2) to be honest, to be truthful to yourself." Special guest The Havalinas draw frorn the same well that produced hank Williams, Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan -- and rock roots .from Bob Marley to Buddy Holly -- without sounding like any of them. Their sound is pure, using traditional folk instruments -- banjo, mandoline, flute, piano -- in a new rock format.

He purues his enemies in search for his true identity. Days of Thunder will showcase Tom Cruise as a flashy stock car driver. When I say flashy I am referring to the fact that this film is from the producers of Top Gun.

In the movie Field of Dreams, Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) builds a baseball field for "Shoeless" Joe Jackson (Ray Liotta) and the other seven of the "Eight Men Out." The field was to be played on by players who never really got to play out their life. This wasn't restricted to big-time pros. Career minor leaguers got their ·shot as did folks who left the game before their time. If you build it, he will come. · So while "Shoeless" Joe is the big n,ame, it is also the story of "Moonlight" Graham, who lost his only shot because his team won the only game he ever entered. He left baseball for medical school. If anyone ever had the distinction of having a great career cut short, it was Hank Gathers. If you build it, he will come. There are others, mostly hackers who never really had a shot.

Last year, they got a seat on the front of that coaster and enjoyed many exciting thrills as they captured the MAC championship. This year, their seat has been changing from ride to ride, from game to game. They started the season at the front of the roller coaster, winning their first five decisions, two over Misericordia and Lycoming, and one over Scranton. But then the roller coaster seemed to get stuck. Even broken. The Lady Colonels lost six straight, including being trounced over spring break in the Montclair State Tournament. They were pasted 15-0 by Trenton State, 12-0 by Cortland State, and 4-0 by Montclair State. Did co-coach Tom Dunsmuir fear the worst? • n1ga The Lady Colonels congratulate Kim Skrepenak after her homerun "I was a little worried," Dunsmuir said. "We didn't hit the ball well at the tournament. We didn't strike out, but it seemed every time we hit the ball we hit it right at someone. The pitching in that tournament was excellent and we felt it would prepare us very well for league play even though we got beat pretty bad." Where do the Lady Colonels now sit on that roller coaster? Well, they have won six of thier last seven and seven of nine. Throw in the fact that they swept a big doubleheader this Sunday over Elizabethtown, which is ranked fifth in the Central Region (covering Ohio to Florida), and one would be safe to assume that the Lady Colonels are back at the front. Or at least in a first place tie with Messiah at 6-2, and getting set for this Saturday's showdown with them for the right to go to the MAC playoffs. The Lady Colonels began Sunday afternoon by knocking off Elizabethtown 8-1, and in the process pounded out 15 hits, the biggest being Hillary Blake's two-run single in the second inning to give the Lady Colonels a 2-1 lead which they would never relinquish. "That was probably the biggest hit of the year for Hillary," said Dunsmuir. "She has been splitting time at first base with Gina Lupini , but she is really starting to hit the ball well." The Lady Colonels also managed to stop the 22-game hitting streak of Elizabethtown star Mary Barclay, who was hitting .486 the season. "We tried to pitch her inside and it seemed to work," Dunsmuir said . "She was only one-for-six in the doubleheader." for Second baseman Jill McGuire has been a big part of the hitting. McGuire is leading the Lady Colonels in hitting with a .396 average. She leads the team in stolen bases with 18 and bases on balls with 12. She also ties for the team lead runs scored with 17 and hits with 23. "Jill is the sparkplug of our offense," said Dunsmuir. "She is very hard to Strike out and that is important in a leadoff hitter. Ninety percent of the time she gets on, she scores, and that gets us on the board early in the game and gets J<; off to a good start." The second key ingredient for the Lady Colonels' recent surge has been Petrulsky. She is hitting .353 and is tied with McGuire for the lead in runs and hits . She has also stolen 15 bases in 16 attempts to go along with flawleJS play in centerfield. "Lorrie has really come through with a super strong bat,' Dunsmuir said. "She leads the team in RBIs and is a really good bunter. "I also don't think there is a better centerfielder in the league this year. She has about 5 assists, three at home and two at third. The only prob sometimes she plays too deep and we have to her to move in. But she gets a good jump on and it is hard to get it by her." The third and final side of the offensive Lisa Balestrini. Balestrini is the shortstop good range and a strong arm. But her bal omni-important down the stretch. She is c hitting .328. "Lisa is our power hitter and we need down the stretch for us. We need her to knock· runs for us," said Dunsmuir. The Lady Colonels' playoff picture 1s simple. If they win one of two in this week's t with Messiah, they are playoff bound for a straight year. Lose two and they will have lolS time to study for finals. WILKES-BARRE - The Colonels golf team will be competing in a field of 2 1 teams at this weekend's MAC championships, which will be held at the Shawnee Country Club. Action gets underway with a practice round on Friday, and championship play on Saturday and Sunday. "In the 13 innings we played, Kim only gave up 12 hits," he said. "She also had two hits in the first game and was two-for-three in the second game with a homerun and four RBIs. As Kim goes, so does the rest of the team. She has been pitching a lot of innings this year for us. You could say she has been carrying us. But lately, the hitting has been coming around and is helping us out. " The coming-out party for the bats has been led by the trio of Jill McGuire, Lorrie Petrulsky and Lisa Balestrini. Leading the Colonels (20-5) will be co-captains Rob Cella and Keith Kopec. Cella, who placed third in last years championships, is hoping to bounce back from a disappointing season. 'Tm. putting this past season behind me," Cella said.
