Moss, Jr., Ambassador to Panama, was the guest speaker Ninth Annual Max Rosenn Lecture Series in d Humanities held Sunday night at Wilkes 'ty. audience of approximately 260 attended the ture entitled, "Panama, Nicaragua, and the of the Central American Peace Process," which in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the . gArts. presented a 40 minute lecture which focused mber 20, 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama and ary 25, 1990 elections in Nicaragua. Moss d the question, "Will Panama become a democracy and an economic success?" Moss simistic about the current situation, noting ee months after the invasion, Panama still attributes of being a real government." He nted on the major problems of the country, free of Noriega, is facing today, since uency is on the rampage in Panama, as is unemployment." Moss added that the unemployment rate is up to thirty percent at the present time, and · stressed the need for economic recovery in order for the government to hope for any type of success. Moss presented a rather optimistic view of Nicaragua today. This is primarily due to the outcome of the free elections that were held there last month. "Ninety percent of the population · voted with tremendous enthusiasm and sacrifice, and the people were not intimidated by voting," he said, commenting that Americans should use Nicaragua as an example. The lecture ended with a question and answer period, where Keith Rosenn, son of Judge Max and Tillie Rosenn, was also able to offer some views on the current Central American sta t us. "Constitutionalism has been so successful in the United States because of economic prosperity," Rosenn said while reflecting on the academic aspects in both countries. The Max Rosenn Lecture Series was established in 1980 by friends of the Judge of the United States Court of Appeals, Third Circuit, by friends, former clerks and members of the law firm of Rosenn, Jenkins, and Greenwald. >Ver Ambler Moss Elder care closes out discussion series it thi ·an's :i out now by Kathy Harris Beacon News Editor photo by Kathy Harris Herman moderated last nights elder care discussion WILKES-BARRE - What does the -greying of America mean to today's young people? It affects them in many ways, as was shown at the final public discussion sponsored by the Communication Department, held last night. Glen Dunbar, the director of the Bureau of Policy, Planning and Research for the Pennsylvania Department of Aging, gave the keynote address. He began by comparing America's changing demographics with a spinning ball with weights. Just as the weights cause the ball to shift from side to side, aging in America has caused shifts in its demographic profile. The ball, or America, is shifting to ward the older end. Dunbar said that "in 1980, the median age of the U.S. population was 30; in the year 2000, it will · be 36, and in the year 2030, it will be 41." · He said that younger Americans will have to change and accept in the decades to come, and he su ggested five slogans to help with the change: "Being retired dcesn't mean unemployed;""Keep the care -Cut the cost;"Build an environment for Ii ing;" "Older people are and asset, not a li ... oility;" and "Live your whole life." Mary Carrano for the Luzerne County B .1 reau of Aging, Dr. Ann Kolanowski, n rsing department chairperson at Wilkes, ard Mrs. Jane Huey, who is taking care her hLsband's grandfather, also participated in the discussion.

Tweedy sed her enthusiasm of the symposium and her of the Jack of landfiJ,ls. "Without Act 101, the current number of landfills last ten years," she said. Act 101 is Pennsylvania's new mandatory recycling 11togo into effect on September 26 in communities ethan 10,000 people. "Ten years ago there were four times as many !Is as there are today, " said symposium moderator y Harris. "The problem is that each American tes four pounds of garbage every day." Panelists for the symposium included Mark on, Community Relations Director for the es-Barre Region Pennsylvania Department of · nmental Resources (DER); Joyce Hatala, Recycling inator of Lackawanna County; Frank Chadwick, Recycling Coordinator of Luzerne County; John Bergold, Assistant of Public Works, Parks, Recreation and Recycling for the City of Wilkes-Barre; and Tom Winter, Recycling Coordinator for the Wilkes-Barre Campus of Penn State University. Each panelist was permitted to speak for five minutes, after which an open question period was held. Carmon explained the importance of recycling as well as the two basic ways of making a recycling program fail - not being consistent with what you do, and not educating people. He also urged, when organizing a recycling movement, to get in touch with radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers to publicize the cause. "You have to tell people why they have to recycle," said Hatala. She brought with her some rather comical visual aids as examples of what some people will put into the recycling bins. They included: a wine glass, a "Penn State" mug, a "Scooby-Doo" mug, plastic flowers, a McDonald's "Big Mac" container, a hairdryer and curling brush, and a panty hose container. One of the problems with Act 101 is that "it is mandating recycling, yet there are communities going off the track," said Chadwick. He said that everyone can recycle, even if your municipality has no recycling program. "I believe that the 90s will be the decade of recycling," he said adding that information is available at local recycling offices. Bergold said recycling is fast becm_n ing a way of life for many people. "Time is a luxury we no longer have," he said. "Everyone has to chip in to make this work." In 1972 there were 1400 dumps as compared to the current 60 to 65 landfills in the state, Bergold said. The Penn State Wilkes-Barre campus's recycling program was initiated during the Fall of 1988, said Winter. Janitors collect the garbage, while the students and faculty sort it. This involves less work for the janitors, raises money for scholarships, as well as saving 700 trees. "Student cooperation has made the program work," said Winter. Dr. Sid Halsor, Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Science at Wilkes, spoke about a recycling program at Wilkes. There are currently two groups working on a program: the Earth and Environmental Science Club, and Dr. Mike Case's Hazardous Materials class. "This is a major undertaking, not just putting out bins to collect recyclables," Halsor said. "We have a lot of work before us." He pointed the lack of a storage facility for the see Act page 2 inancial aid information released The Financial Aid Office has prepared and mailed financial aid application packets to all ·me students who are members of the Classes-of 1991, 1992 and 1993.

The jewelry, knick-knacks and knife handles are not carved or molded from minerals mined from the earth. OPINION ~TracyY~ One must remove the incisors from an elephant's head in order to obtain the precious material. As a result, faceless carcasses litter the African landscape. In the last ten years, the population of these magnificent creatures has been diminished by 50%. The species is in danger of becoming extinct, and the demand for ivory only grows. Even though Hong Kong imports and manufactures the majority of ivory exported from Africa, 'the United States is responsible for 30% of all the exports. Ivory now rivals gold in its market value, and has become an extremely lucrative business. It's no wonder that any enterprising African that owns an automatic weapon enters the business of senselessly slaughtering elephants for ...RJl<l(U; ABOUf 1llE ~ ct= EvENffi IN \...tntUANIA, Tl-IE: \'l<a;l~ISSLEP ANOTIEI<~ c.aloaANAilON a: their tusks. Poaching is a problem of a continental proportions. A country like B urimdi, which has a total population of 10,000 elephants, exports over 15,000 iusks per year. ~,~ .. Individual government regulations are not stringent enough to keep poaGhing under control. Even in Kenya, where Rangers are authorized to shoot poachers on sight, five Rangers are murdered for every poacher that is terminated. Demand governs the ivory trade. Just as stricter laws only drive the price of cocaine higher, so does the demand and value of ivory rise with every ban and restriction. The only way I can see to ensure the survival of the elephant is to eliminate the desire for their tusks. To lose the presence of this unique creature on thisearth,justforthesake of owning their teeth, would shame this generation. Ivory is a part of a living, breathing, animal that has emotional . and social characteristics similar to us. Ivory is not a rock.

Once inside, there were about 20 volunteers running around getting things set up and preparing the food. Plaid table cloths were on all of the tables along with flower center- pieces. We, the members of SG, were given aprons and sent to various stations within the kitchen . We did everything from serving coffee and bagels, to washing dishes and collecting dirty trays. Another volunteer group was there serving the main meal. The people who came in for lunch were from all walks of life.

What does the word mean to you? It•~••••~ 1111111111111 What thoughts do that dirtiest of few- letter words cause to race through your mind? · I often wonder what would cause someone to turn the most beautiful act a man and woman can share into something that will cause that woman to never want to be touched again? The last question is one only the sickest of mind can answer. It can only be answered by the rapist. Last week King's College saw that crime happen on their campus. Wilkes also, in the past, has been no stranger to rape with a number of assaults over the summer. Rape knows no "special place," no secret hiding place where the rapist takes his victim. It can happen anywhere. No place is safe and no place is sacred. The King's attack happened right in the middle of campus and the Wilkes assaults happened on the Commons, right across the street from the campus . We broached this subject last year in an editorial but many of it bears repeating. Please don't walk alone at night. If it means pulling you roommate away from Doogie Howser, do it. If no one is available to walk with, call security at ext. 4999 or "O," they will be glad to send someone over to walk you where you need to go. It is no shameful action to ask for a walk. It could save your life. his, however only touches one part of rape. And, at Wilkes, it is the lesser - for lack of a better word - of the two types of rape. Shamefully so; the most common kind of rape - and sexual assault - on college campuses, is date or acquaintance rape. This is the kind that comes about when someone the victim knows is the assaulter. This is a lot more traumatic because it is a breech of trust. One minute you are having a good time and the next you are being forced to do things you just don't want to do . As is the case with (non-date) rape, there is a measure of guilt that the victim feels. They feel that it is there own fault. This is wrong. The only guilty party in a rape is the rapist, not the victim . This is the key detractor from reporting rape . Another problem with reporting, from the mind set of the victim, is how do you explain that "Mr. Right" did this to you? And how do you prove that what he says isn't true? He says you wanted it. The sickest of minds really believes that. What do we do when something like this has happened? Who do you talk to? That is the first problem. Many victims just want to bury the whole incident. To do this, they don't tell anybody. This is a bad step, you have just been assaulted and physically abused. You need help. On campus, there are very few reported incidents of rape or sexual abuse. "Reported" is the key word. As mentioned earlier, victims don't like to talk. · I feel that it is time for the campus to start a support group for the sexually assaulted on campus. The best way for the guilt to alleviate and for the victims to air their story is to put them together with a trained professional from the Victim's Resource Center and let them begin to open up. Rape is a sick crime, but it isn't enough to just catch and prosecute the bad guy, which is something that doesn't happen with enough frequency. We've got to start helping the good guy; the victim needs to know that it isn't their fault and that we care. And when that happens, a new awareness just might tip the scales towards a safer home. . And ·that's always good. T �APRIL PAGE6 5, 1990 IABC hosts job fair by Erin Kinney Special to The Beacon WILKES-BARRE - On March 29, in the Marts Center, the IABC held a career fair and luncheon.

These companies talked to students about both fulltime and partime jobs as well as internships. They provided brochures, folders, and accepted students resumes with enthusiasm. Seniors were hoping for jobs after graduation, juniors and sophomores wanted summer internships, and freshmen came to get experience for the future. The luncheon which began at twelve noon consisted of assigned tables where companies representatives were scattered so that students could talk on a more personal level. During lunch Patricia Morrow, a former Wilkes student gave an excellent speech about what Public Relations is and how to go about getting a job; discussing what to wear to an interview, questions to ask, and skills that are best needed. Look in the future for more career fairs and other functions that the IABC will sponsor.

The turtles hit the big screen this past weekend Two acts in a Night of One Acts by Michele Broton Beacon Feature Editor registered portance of sic Constitu- lvania: ues □ Help ign by FO R GOVERNOR idge Pike :tte Hill, PA 19444 834-7600 Jason Delcampe, Gail p. Stone and Christine Brunnock The Night of One Acts was a pair of one-act plays directed by two Wilkes senior Theatre Arts majors and performed on Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31, 1990. The plays were performed to small audiences, since the shows competed with a coffeehouse on Friday and both An Innocent Man and the Jamaican Beach Party on Saturday. The first play, David Mamet's Reunion was directed by Maureen O'Hara. It starred Ed Buonocore as Bernie Cary, a middle-aged recovering alcoholic, and Amy Braun as Carol Mindler, the daughter he left over 20 years ago. At their first meeting since Bernie left his wife and young daughter, we see the effects of the separation on their Ii ves. The scenes were divided by a fade-to-black and a change of location for the characters. Awkward at first, this method grew more comfortable and represented elapsed time rather well. Buonocore and Braun were convincing in their respective parts as an ex-drunk who is getting his life together i\nd a young womn whose own marriage isn't working, and who needs the stability she didn't have as a child. The second play was Romulus Linney's F .M. directed by Rob Johansen. In F.M., writer Constance Lindell (Gail P. Stone) is to teach a writing class in a small southern college. Her students on the first day of classes are May Ford {Melanie O'DonneII), a southern belle who writes about flowers and respects them as much as people; Suzanne Lachette {Christine M. Brunock), a bitter, spiteful woman who writes about men as despicable slime; and Buford Bullough (Jason C. Delcampe), a hick who writes graphically of his very close relationship with his mother (hence the play's title you figure out what it stands for ...). Ford's and Lachette's characters served as comic relief and as foils to Lindell. Lindell is an almost famous writer who finds talent in an unexpected place, while Bullough is a man consumed by a need to express his illicit passions. Each performer masterfully rendered (heir characters; there was never a dull moment or a weak link in the play. Especially powerfull was Delcampe's performance as the troubled Bullough. The Night of One Acts was an entertaining production of two unique and fascinating plays. Unfortunately, many people did not attend, opting instead for other pursuits. Those who missed the show missed a great night of theater. �APRIL 5, 1990 PAGES Perfect Storms by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor Nanci Griffith's Storms is a perfect album of perfect songs. Maybe that comes off as a little much. How can you say that one album is perfect? It is virtually impossible to create perfection. With that qualification in mind, it can be said that Nanci Griffith's Storms is as close to perfection as one can get. Griffith's effort with Storms puts together her crystal clear voice, wonderful lyrics and perfectly understated tunes, to create ten excellent cuts. This album is the latest effort from a woman that many have tabbed as the latest edition to the tradition of great songwriters. Storms is her eighth album but, until now, she has mired in reletive obscurity. The first release from the album has just started to receive heavier air-play. That song, I Don't Wanna Talk About Love, is an example of the expertise of Griffith. . In this ballad that decries love, Griffith tells a story of falling in love too many times and how she deals with the last time.

Tune in for a ( _;!::::~~===------1 quality show. This song, as are all of the others are made perfect by the voice of Griffith. For lack of a better comparison, her voice is a cool, matured Cyndi Lauper. Her pitch is the same but has a matured tone that adds to the believability. The voice also has a note of innocence that makes the songs even more acceptable. In a recent interview on the cable music network, VH-1, Griffith claimed that she likes to write her songs based on an outside view. She likes to be on the outside looking in and telling us what she sees. Most of these songs, however, appear to be chunks from a very difficult life. Griffith takes these chunks and builds an excellent nucleus. From that nucleus comes some incredible music. Other examples of this difficult life are the ballad of a sister who never made anything of her life called, Drive-In Movies and Dashboard Lights; and a song about her lover leaving her and the ramifications it has called, You Made This Love a Teardrop. Griffith shows why the comparisons to songwriting great Bob Dylan will probably come true with songs of universal bad, such as It's a Hard Life Wherever You Go. The song tells of children that are living to dead ends . .:.Pass a child OIJ the corner he knows Shamus says 'Now what chance has that kid got?' And I say from the back, 'I don't know.' He says There's barbed wire at all of these exits and there ain't no place in Belfast for that kid to go It's a hard life, it's a hard life, it's a very hard life It's a hard life wherever you go The cuts on the album are: ·s ide one, ... Talk About Love, .. .Dashboard Lights, ... Teardrop, Brave Companion of the Road and, the title track, Storms. Side two has: ... Hard Life, If Wishes Were Changes, Listen to the Radio, Leaving the Harbor, and Radio Fragile. With this leap onto the musical front, Griffith enters her latest venture into the stonny world of commercial music as a winner. And only a bad stonn will wash her out. NANctGRiFFiTn: A.

When they do surface, radical ~ctors are usually spurred on by popular music or some type of hatred. Europe is different. Only in Germany could we experience the legacies of Rosa Luxemburg and Ralph Stein and catch a real glimpse of the hard left and right of the political spectrum. Despite the power of expected visits to The Wall and Dachau, our group found something special during these less-conventional quests. Journey to the left ... "It was important that the students learn about Rosa Luxemburg," said professor Tom Nelson, who plugged the story repeatedly in the pre-trip preparation meetings. "People are not exposed to left-wing politics in the United States too often." Luxemburg would have been loved by today's feminists. One of Germany's original rabble-rousers, the outspoken socialist made many enemies in the early 1900s. She became angry with her colleagues in the Social Democratic Party for accepting Kai ser Wilhelm II's pleas for "German brotherhood" and taking up arms in World War I. Imprisoned many times, Luxemburg refused to quiet her revolutionary fires and formed the Spartacus League with Karl Liebknecht, which later became the German Communist Party. A demonstration led by Luxemburg against the Berlin constable led the soldiers of the Weimar Republ!c to murder her and Liebknecht and deposit their corpses in a canal in Berlin's Tiergarten on January 15, 1919. On January 14, 1990, our group wandered the cold and misty pa,rk in search of her watery grave and the lessons on the European mindset it would teach. "At first, I didn't want to look for the canal because it was so cold," remembered Todd Werner. "But then I realized there was a lot to be learned. The whole prolonged search added to the experience." It certainly did. Because Nelson didn't know the site's exact location, we walked for more than two hours in search of the memorial. Once we found it, its emotional scope was breathtaking. Hundreds of candles illuminated the bouquets of flowers sent from all over the world. All of this was an outpouring of emotion for a woman killed 71 years ago. , "It was great to see people paying tribute to someone who had made an attempt to change," Werner said. painful account. The apartment still had the same door. "I happen to be one of the more fortunate out of Nazi Germany in late 1933," Stein "Tyranny reigned and reason had promptly di Events happened so fast that it became evident that thinking and sane person of any intellect could 'At any moment, she could've walked right and picked one of those flowers.' Russ Bird was able to easily distinguish between the forces present, seeing a modeni version of Rosa versus the soldiers. "On one side of the canal, the police were watching as the intellectuals spoke about politics on the other side," he said. "I had never heard of this woman and now I was right at the spot of her death. You had to be there to understand." Being there revealed how alive Luxemburg remains in the memories of many Germans. "It was weird," said Shelly Gardner. "It felt like she was there. At any moment, she could've walked right up and picked up one of those flowers. " Journey to the right ... Ralph -Stein was a talented youth with many options in his beloved Berlin. An accomplished violinist and pianist, Stein also knew the distillery business. At age 22, he was on top of the world. In January, 1933, that world came tumbling down when Adolf Hitler was named chancellor of Germany. Soon after, brownshirted SA thugs closed Stein's options rather quickly. You see, Ralph Stein is a Jew. A neighbor of Nelson's parents in Clearwater, Fla., Stein was fortunate enough to escape to the United States. But the only option he was faced with - to leave Berlin and his homeland - was not an enjoyable one. Nelson asked Stein to remember the hardship on audio tape. He took our group and some German students to Stein's apartment building to listen to the longer function rationally." As we stood in front of Stein's former residents entered and exited freely, with no co that someone who should rightfully still be there forced to leave. "People were going in and out and some or were the age of the students - which is the same Mr. Stein was when he left- and some were Stein's current age," Nelson said. "I think contrast added to the total picture." Stein's voice cracked with solemnity as the rolled on. "There was no future for me undtt threatening and ever-darkening clouds of the awful terror." Vaughn Shinkus came to a realization as stood in the neat neighborhood full of chirping "After Dachau, this visit really brought the home," he said. "All German Jews were i make a decision about whether to leave or stay.' "As far as the weather was concerned, I don't remember," he said. "But I doubt that the sun was out."

The Wilkes University soccer team took a trip south this past weekend. Unlike many ,onege students who have been traveling south in the past month, their venture had nothing to do with laying on the beach in search of a bronze tan or exploring the local nightlife. No, the closest these guys would get to Daytona was watching Julie Brown and the rest of the MTV veejays in action on their television sets from the hotel. Or would they? Head coach Phil Wingert's squad's travels this weekend weren't for pleasure. The Colonels were a team out to prove itself. They had been invited to participate in the Hokies tournament, which consisted of only one other Division III team. The rest of the competition consisted of the big boys from the Division I ranks. The Colonels tie to this mainly Division I tournament was Wingert, who recieved his Master's degree from Virginia Tech and spent a season there as an assistant coach. "This tournament was a chance for a two-day experience and to get seven games in," Wingert said. "The caliber of play was very high. It was better than we are used to. The players got a chance to see a major University of 25,000 students and its facilities. It was a nice experience for them." The Colonels arrived Friday night after making the eight-hour trek to the campus of Virginia Tech to find themselves staying in the wrestling room. "Staying in the wrestling room was a cost-saving maneuver," said Wingert. "All the guys were a little apprehensive at first but it worked out all right. We rented cots and pillows and sheets for four dollars a head. It kept the players on campus and gave them a chance to explore and watch some of the other games instead of just going back to the hotel and watching MTV." The stay in the wrestling room did two things for the Colonels. First, it established Ron Rainey Jr. as the teams unofficial wrestling champion as he decisioned Brian Loy in a close bout. And second, it gave the squad a chance to play 'pick on the freshman' when they attacked Mike Seltzer, taping him to a pole and leaving him helpless. "The wrestling room was probably a good experience because it promoted a lot of team unity, it forced everyone to be together," said Wingert. "Twenty years from now the guys will forget everything about the tournament except the fact that we stayed in the wrestling room." . ..... Mike Seltzer played well for the Colonels in Virginia Be11cot1 file photo The Colonels opened the competition Saturday morning against Radfield, a team that. was showcasing the nation's leading scorer, Dante Washfogton. They are also a team with a $30,000 soccer budget. The Colonels were not in awe, knocking Radfield off 3-1. "Their coach was pretty impressed with the fact that our players raised the money themselves (mostly through shirt sales) to compete in this tournament," said Wingert. "He said sometimes you forget how lucky you are at the Division I level." Wilkes split the next two games, beating Marshall University 1-0 and dropping a 2-0 decision to James Madison University, the 16th-ranked team in the country. This 2-1 record was good enough to propel them into the first day's playoff. It was not to be, however, as the Colonels lost to the only other Division III school, Bethany College, 2-1. ' Sunday was a new day and the Colo.nels had to open with host Virginia Tech. Wilkes, which was playing this tournament without its Tegular goalie, Kevin Tronkowski, picked up Virginia Tech junior varsity goalie Brian Bulger. Bulger performed.well the first day, but showed up an hour late for this game. He forgot to set his clock forward an hour for daylight savings time. This forced the Colonels to employ one of their top offensive threats, Mike Lenczycki, who had two goals during the tournament, between the pipes. "Mike is the guy who is ·a1ways messing around and going into the net at practice, so he was the only guy we had who could step in," said Wingert. "He only had to stop the most basic shots, all the tough chances either went wide or high." With Lenczycki in goal, the defense turned in a marvelous performance, keeping the Hokies scoreless. But the Colonels also failed to find the net and the contest ended in a deadlock. "We played an excellent defensive game and we had some real good scoring opportunities, but we just didn't convert," said Wingert. "The last time we went down there to play Virginia Tech, we were really outmatched. But our players have been doing an, excellent job in the offseason. They have been working really hard. It's probably the hardest working bunch I've had during the offseason. Coming close to Virginia Tech and the other teams has to give the guys a good feeling." With Bolger back in goal and turning in a great performance, the Colonels were able to pull off a dramatic 1-0 win over Washington & Lee when T.R.

MAD RAMBLIN'S by Lee Scott Morrell Guess what folks, I didn't catch a taping of the trash TV show. I went Lo two tapings. And you know what, I learned a whole lot about something. I haven't figured out exactly what I've learned, but I have learned something. During the same couple of days as the Geraldo tapings, I also got to hear an address delivered by Phil Donohue. Kids, have you ever heard the expression "different as night and day."? "Day" Donohue, meet "Night" Rivera. Forget Day, let's focus on the Night. The Geraldo show was a mixture of Arsenio (sans the barking) and The National Enquirer. The topic of the first show was "the right to die," or in its more common form, Euthanasia. Forgive me for my naivete, but when I see the word "euthanasia", I expect to hear from 90-year olds who want the plug pulled when they can no longer fend for themselves. I was not prepared for Rich the "AIDS Mercy Killer," Gary the AIDS sufferer and Stephanie, the pre-operative transsexual who is unable to handle the pressure and would like to take her own life. On the same panel was a couple who represented another side of prematurely pulling the plug. The woman was in a coma for 40 days when her husband went to court to legally end life-support. The judge denied it and, miraculously, a week later, the woman woke up. The husband said he would still do the same thing in the same circumstance. So much for 20/20 hind sight Speaking of 20/20, remember when Geraldo was a real journalist? What happened? He is now hosting suicidal transsexuals and dog owners - accompanied by their puppies - telling us of the horrors of puppy breeding farms. Hey, the guy does what he does. I can't knock him for that.

Prepare to ·cruise! �PAGE 3 If it's 'broke' then fix it, Wilkes A reasonable person once said, "If it's not broke, don' t fix iL" This person was obviously not referring to Wilkes however, where unnecessary "fixing" seems to be the norm. The most recent example of !his occurred Thursday night to myself and the other members of Slocum and Doane Halls. Resident's Life has decided to change these halls into 24-hour quiet dorms with strict visitation rules. The basic ... . message to us was "Abide by the new rules or get ouL" Resident's Life wants us to do the latter. There are currently two round-the-clock quiet hour dorms on campus, and hte school plans on opening a third in the fall. Is there· such a huge demand for this type of dungeon dorm that Slocum and Doane are also needed? I doubt it. But the Resident's Life Office thinks otherwise, basing their decision on two questions from the RL student surveys completed early last se- . mestcr. It would seem to me that these surveys simply convey the feeling of not liking one's roommate, instead of the diesire to live in a college run prison. It's not fair to make us give up our homes to satisfy a very small number of student masochists, when there are other options available. Itis simply another instance of the Wilkes bureaucracy dictating its will , and hte resident studnets having to suffer with it.

These different pieces spoke about the mess the downtown appears to be in. The vacant storefronts. The "for sale" signs. The "going out of business" signs. The litter that inundates the Public Square. Let's be honest folks, the place is a serious mess. And litter isn't confined just to the downtown area any more. It's spreading to the campuses of Wilkes-Barre's two institutes of higher learning . .Wilkes and King's are beginning to look like giant trash bins. Doesn't anyone care anymore? We are all .so wrapped up in our own little worlds that tossing our Twix. wrappers into the street is just second nature. On a recent trip to New York a friend remarked - in the form of a joke - about the carelessness of the natives. It made me think about our dilemma. He said, "How can you tell the difference between a native New Yorker and a visitor? We hit the garbage can." On the same trip, we passed through Scranton. We both remarked at what a beautiful downtown, and city for that matter, Scranton is becoming. As we passed the downtown storefronts, many of which were empty, my friend told me about the_impending "Downtown Mall" project. ~t is slated to break ground anytime soon and will cover three blocks. It is expected to fill those empty storefronts and create serious business for the city as well as competition for the malls that are out of town. We are in a city that is like a coin balancing on its side. Depending on the direction of the wind, we could fall into the fate of New York or Scranton. It i~ up to us to decide which way the wind blows. o, how d9es this whole problem effect you, the Wilkes student? What can you do to stem the tide of a dirty, dying downtown/city getting worse? Where do you fit in? Glad you asked. . . It's our tum to issue a challenge to you, the students of Wilkes University. We challenge you to get off your butts and do something about the mess . When you see a paper on the ground, pick it up and toss it in t}:le closest can . If you see someone else tossing trash on the ground, get involved. Give them a piece of your mind. The only way we can become a sparkling jewel is to-polish, not allow to tarnish. And if we, the students of Wilkes University, begin to polish our jewel, will the citizens of our fair metropolis begin to do the same? Who knows? That's not for us to worry about, at this point. But maybe, just maybe, when the citizens S\'!e what we are trying to do. The care we are beginning to take. The love we are showing our nine-month home-away-from-home.

It is a timely issue since all communities il'l Pennsylvania with more than 5,000 people must have recycling programs in place by 1991. Speakers for the symposium include Mark Carmon, Regional Coordinator for the state Department of Environmental Resources; ·Frank Chatwick and Joyce Hatala, Recycling Coordinators for Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties; John Bergold, Wilkes-Barre's· Recy_cling Coordinator; Tom Winter, Penn State-Lehman's recycling director; and Pat Lavalle of Waste Management, Inc., a Scranton recycling business. Kathy Harris, a senior Communications major, will moderate. Elaine 1\veedy, President of the League of Women Voters of the Wilkes-Barre area, will give introductory remarks. According to Tweedy, the League has made a commitment to "promoting public participation in environmental decision-making, and to supporting measures to encourage waste reduction and recycling." Tweedy was very pleased when she was approached by the Wilkes students inviting the League to co-sponsor the program. While the League is an active political lobbying force for recycling and other environmental issues, students in the communications class who are organizing the symposium have more personal reasons for getting involved. Harris got involved "because I have a four year old son, I am very concerned about his future." Another member of the organizing group hopes Wilkes will take a leadership role because "many Wilkes students would like to see recycling become a reality on campus as soon as possible". In addition to Harris, other students who are organizing the event are Scott Barth, Kristine Bauer, Tom Doughty, John Gordon, Krista Gromalski, and Jerry Hoffman. Following comments from the panelists, invited members of local municipalities, campuses and community groups will ask questions about Act 101, the state recycling law. A display area in the lobby outside Stark 101 will include materials and information about what is recyclable. The DER has also provided several.in-home recycling kits. The public is invited to the symposium and a special segment has been set aside for Wilkes students to ask questions about recycling on campus. Come to the symposium on April 2 and learn about the recycling law and how it affects you.

Dunbar, Director of Policy, Planning and Research with the.Pennsylvania Department of Aging will be the keynote speaker for a public discussion on elder care on April 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Stark 101. This will be the fourth public discussion presented by the Group Discussion class and sponsored by the Department of Communication. Wilkes students are urged to attend the program which deals with the issue of how the aging of America affects today's young people. · Topics to be addressed by Dunbar include demographic analysis of aging in Pennsylvania, state programs for improving the quality of life for senior citizens, and how aging affects today's young people. · Dunbar, who has over 15 years of experience in administering federal and state programs for the elderly, is responsible for overseeing the development of the Stale Aging Plan. He also manages a program of research and demonstration grants, and inter-governmental planning and policy development. He received his Master's in Public Administration for the Center for Studies in Aging at North Texas State University. Following the presentation by Dunbar, a panel discussion with the following invited participants will take place: Dr. Ann Kolanowski, Chair of the Department of Nursing at Wilkes; Mrs. Jane Huey of Kingston, who is familiar with in-home care for elderly relatives; and PA Representative Stanley J. Jarolin (D-119thdistrict), whoison the PA House Committee on Youth and Aging. The Luzerne County Bureau on Aging has also been invited. Teresa Herman, a junior Communications major, will moderate the program. Herman became interested in the issue of elder care when she researched a persuasive speech on the subject for the Speech Team. She, and six other members of the Group Discussion class who organized the program, feel students must become aware of the complex issue of elder care. According to Herman, "We all have relatives and friends who will need our emotional and financial support as they age. It is important to begin planning now." Members of the class who organized the elder care program and arranged for the keynote speaker include Herman; Brian Curran, Shelly Gardner, Matt Hanlon, Barb Jamelli, Erin Kinney, and Laurie Tappan. ~!!~:tts to celebrat~lem~ wi~~t!2ons~~E!,K.ped~~~~ Beacon Staff Writer established between• local citizen's groups and American and Soviet environmentalists.

The set was fabulous. There is no other way to describe it. It took up a substantial portion of the auditorium, with two balconies from which people were able to speak their lines. Because of the ingenious design of the set, the performers were given no less than five entrances from where they could appear. The blocking was both exciting and innovative. Some things that were thrilling to see were: - Grumio delivering lines from within a trunk, popping his head up, jack-in-the-box style, to say his bit. - Katherine tearing the arms from her sister's teddy bear as a means of torture. - The interesting embrace of Lucentio and Bianca. My only complaints with the show were entirely of an interpretational manner. For example, to make the play fit the time schedule, numerous lines were cut or changed. The one interpretation that caused some concern but proved to be right on the mark was the time setting of the show. Although a Shakesperean piece, this version of The Taming of the Shrew, was set in the 1950's. This offered a looser interpretation of some lines which led, at times, to something akin to vulgarity (for example, the afore mentioned embrace between Lucentio and Bianca). Overall, it was an enjoyable evening of theatre for all who were able to get in to see the production. There was some difficulty for those who failed to reserve a seat, since most nights were sold out performances. Not too shabby for Shakespeare in Wilkes-Barre. �PAGE6 MARCH 29, 1990 CON- Where can we learn some Germa WEST BERLIN - Not many situations can make a group of ten university students feel totally inadequate and unable to use the intellect they rely on to get through four years of school. How 'bout being thrust into the heart of Germany for three weeks with little knowledge of the German language? Yeah, that's definitely one. "They (the Germans) had an advantage because we were on their turf," said professor Tom Nelson. "But the advantage works both ways. Even though they were speaking our language - English - for us, they couldn't use their native German. In that sense, we were on top." The German university students that accompanied us to the media outlets offered a supreme service by filling in the blanks about such things as the political lines drawn in a Berlin television newsroom and the lack of women writers in the Axel Springer publishing company. "When I got to Berlin, it blew my mind how politics crept into every aspect of life," said Todd Werner. "I didn't have an understanding of what was behind that. The private conversations with the students really opened my eyes." But, the mingling with the students did have a darker side which was fostered by the language gap and a shortage of time. Statements made by the students deali11g with the superiority of the German university system and media struck a strange chord in us. "We don't know what kind of students we met with," said John McLaughlin. "It's hard to judge their level. _It's almost impossible to know if they're telling the truth. Even though they spoke English, we couldn't probe much further." "We really couldn't fight with people," said Vaughn Shinkus with a laugh. "We would be standing there on the street and someone would apparently cursing in German and you didn't know how to retaliate. "But, we had it a lot better than Germans would have if they came to the United States. We don't speak German. We lucked out in that sense."· Ruth Soderberg remembers funny experience that was the result of immersing herself in a language. "When I got back to the United States, I found myself walking into a deli and pointing at something," she said. "Then I realized I could speak English. nowing know ai aginable ADJ a This sign was one thing we could understand Students direct the show tbn ·ng l Good ca ee ain't "I felt pretty illiterate walking into a and not being able to read a menu."

For new Wilkes head tennis coach Chris Creegan, this year's experience will be ber first as a mentor. She goes into it with the hopes of making it stay in her mind with her first toy and her first day of school. "This is my first coaching job," Creegan said. "Coach (Doris) Saracino called me and asked me if I would be interested in the job. I was excited because I thought about it last year." Last year, Creegan was a senior psychology major at none other than Wilkes. She was the team's number one singles player throughout her four years. Currently, she is employed by Allied Services in Scranton, but remains very active in the game. Just this past summer, Creegan was part of a women's team from Kirby Park that placed fourth in a national tournament in Miami, Florida. On that team, she played number one doubles. . Creegan also has taught indoor tennis at the Kingston Recreational Center as well as in the Lackawanna County Tennis Program. But this spring, she is concentrating her efforts on the Lady Colonels tennis squad, a squad that so far has Creegan feeling pleased. "Right now, we're going through challenge matches and we are looking pretty good, especially since we've only been practicing for three weeks," said Creegan. "I think we have a positive attitude and we will take the season one step at a time." Creegan is getting a positive review from her players. For the most part, the players are more than happy with their new coach and the job she has done thus far. . "Chris knows all the ropes," said senior captain Stacey Symecko. "She has been here before and she knows most of the players from the other teams. Plus, she's a great player herself. I've really learned a lot from her." "Chris is a good coach and she's young enough to be able to relate to us," said junior Amy Schukis. If the team is to have a good showing,, Creegan will need consistent play from both · Symecko and Schukis. "Stacey has a really good baseline game," Creegan said. "She should be a good first or second player for us and she's our captain. The only thing she needs to do is work on her mental game. If she does that, she should be a good player for us this year." Symecko, whose preference is doubles, could be one of the team's top forces. "I like to play doubles but when I do play singles, it's a baseline game," said Symecko. As for Schukis, Creegan cites a positive attitude as one of her greatest attributes. "Amy has been working really hard to be the number one player. It's something she really wants." "I like to play very agressive, trying to attack the net," · Schukis said. "I like to end the point quickly instead of rallying." Both Symecko and Schukis are confident the team will have a good showing. "I hope we can have a good showing and work together as a team," said Symecko. "I think we will be OK, I really do. Hopefully, we will beat King's. They are the team we really want to beat." "We are a young team and we lack experience, but we should be able to hold our own," said Schukis. The team also has· seven other members who will be called upon to perform throughout the season. Meg Fallin is a freshman who Creegan says is rather new to the sport and could pay dividends to the team down the road. "Meg has been working pretty hard in practice and she could turn out to be a good player down the road," said Creegan. Michele Bannon, a junior, is one player who could add experience to the Lady Colonels lineup. "Michelle has experience and has improved throughout her career here at Wilkes," Creegan said. "She could be an important player for us." Allyson Manning and Shannon Hicks are two young players who will be competing for a spot in the first six, along with Kelly Erickson, who looks like a strong singles player. Two upperclassmen, Deb Erdner and Melinda Comfort, have walked on for the first time. "Deb is a surprise player. She's a good athelete. I didn't expect her to be this good of a tennis player," said Creegan. "Melinda has great enthusiasm and an excellent attitude." The Lady Colonels will open their season with a match against Lycoming College Monday at 3 p.m. in Kirby Park. "I have a real positive attitude about the season," Creegan said. "I think we will do better than people expect." Whinney learnin to play and stud by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor e effort tc e deep, de faculty, ru e did find . WILKES-BARRE - To many, he may seem cocky. After all, people don't take kindly to someone who speaks in to high self-praise. 'Tm an overachiever," Robb Whinney says. "I always have been: Before dismissing Whinney as a blowhard, take a look a collegiate lifestyle. He carries 33 credits this semester. And, he tennis. Not too shabby, eh? Maybe a little crazy, but Whinney has a for his madness. The blueprint is simple - receive a degree in bi from Wilkes in May after two short years, move on to Haverford C for a master's in biology and a degree in philosophy, then proc medical school to begin the process to becoming a practicing surgeai. Whew. Oh, by the way, after medical school, Whinney plans to law degree. Just for the hell of it. "This is the way I always thought," he said. "I always wanted everything. You make your sacrifices to get where you want to go. "Too many students are here at Wilkes for sports first, school That's not the way I am." How does tennis manage to fit into Whinney's plans? Quite thank you. "It keeps me sane," Whinney said. "Last year, I didn't seriously. This year, it's totally different. I enjoy it. I'm out there reason." Whinney remembered that after reading a 1't>ok by Confucius o summer. "I lost track of that reason last year," he said. "But I realized just the racket, the ball and me out there. Everything else has to away." Tennis wasn't always so fun, however. "I've been playing since I could remember," said Whinney. 'I taking lessons every day, spending my whole summer playing w friends were doing other things. I was burned out when I was 12." But the fire is back. "Wilkes has a better team," says Whinney, who plays numbel singles and forms the top doubles team with Doug Meade. "We chance to do something this year." But academic pursuits will always take top priority for Whinney, hopes to one day be the headmaster of a school. "I wish people would go to school for the sake of learning ins something else," he said.

Hogan is expected to take over at the P1L mm1stnes as head evangelist. · In an equally shocking move, WWF president Jack Tunney announced that Wilkes University senior Steve Schannauer has been selected to rclpace the Hulkster in the Main Event against the Ultimate Warrior. "Schannauer represents to u everything a heavyweight wrestler should be," said Tunney. "We were waiting for the right time to introduce Stevie to the ring and Wrestlemania VI is the perfect vehicle for this introduction." . "Thunderbolt" Schannauer and his manager "Diamond" John Reese will officially gain possession of Hogan's belt tomorrow at a press conference for the Sunday match. "I just hope I'm not letting down all my little Hulkamaniacs. but I heard a higher calling," said Hogan. "I just want all the boys an? g1~ls to continue saying their prayers, eating their vitamins and pumping iron. One day they may have 24-inch pythons like these," he said with a flex. · "Just as I would tear apart Hulk Hogan, I will disarm the Thunderbolt," said an over-confident Warrior. · Schannauer remained quietly confident a?out how h.e felt about this latest honor. "This buries the NCAA tournament," he said. "Hell, Robert Goulet will be singing the National Anthem. That's no knock on Gina Lupini, but this is Goulet for God's sake."

The firsr was the announcement of Wilkes' change of status. The second was announced yesterday: Wilkes has been rcaccredited by The Middle States evaluators. The evaluators, who visited the Wilkes campus in December, notified President Christopher Breiseth yesterday of the results of their evaluation. The reaccreditation process is conducted every ten years, with a mid-term evaluation report to be given by the accredited institution in June of 1995. The process began during the 1988-89 school year when Wilkes conducted a self-study. The-second part of the evaluation occurred when the evaluators visited. In the letter sent to Breiseth, the evaluators wrote the following about the University: "The strengths and assets of the University were well defined both in the insti tutional self study and in the team report, and confir ned that Wilkes University is a growing institwion of higher learning with laudable academic standards. The achievement of learning environment whic h combines intellectual interaction between studcr ,s and faculty supports the ethical and moral develo pment of the student body and exhibits sensitivity to the needs and interests of the faculty during the period of growth is notable. " "I am delighted," said Breiseth. "It is a positive result from a long process. This kind of accreditation is a major validation of our right to operation." �MARCH 22, 1990 PAGE2 Sigma Xi to present Dr. ,Tohn Prados Science educator to speak at Wilkes toniKh WILKES-BARRE - The Wilkes University Sigma Xi Club in ,been an Associate Dean of Engineering at the University of Tennessee at conjunction with the Luzerne County Science Teachers Association, the Knoxville.

WILKES-BARRE - Reviving memories of dorm mothers and midnight curfews, the Residence Life Office has proposed that certain dorms have limited risiiation and extended quiet hours. The dorms which would be designated as alternative" housing have not been determined as of vet but the newly purchased dorm on South Franklin itr~t, Slocum and Doane have been mentioned. "There was a desire for this type of housing," said Leigh Major. "There was a positive response on the Residence Life Survey, and it has been a topic for parents and incoming students." Major also stressed that this type of housing would not become a campus-wide phenomenon. "We are trying to address a need." She also spoke of anot,h er type of alternative housing, which is the apartment-type environment of Rifkin Hall. The guidelines of the limited visitation specify that visitation hours will be from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m. Friday and Saturday.

And ev400 students come out of hiding to prove that not everyone on this campus is apathetic. Apathy has been a main concern and topic of discussion onthis campus (as well as a target of the Beacon Editorial) during the past few years, but instead of accusing people of "not doing anything," SG has found a sure-fire way to try to combat apathy. And every year, Wilkes University students. come through. I'd also like to mention that the $800 from the application fees from Winter Weekend are being donated to the St. Vincent de Paul Soup Kitchen, so that people who HA VE to stand out in the cold every day can get a hot meal. Last year-, SG donated the proceeds from Winter Weeked to the Wilkes-Barre Big Brother/Big Sister Program, and the year before that, United Way. What is wrong with repitition that does so much to help those in need. As for on-campus problems, SGis not ignoring these. At our last meeting, we voted to put $300 toward "Operation Alert." Protecting commuter and resident students from attack and/or theft is nothing? We funded BACCHUS' "Less than Zero" presentation with $275 to boast alcohol and drug awareness on campus during National Collegiate Drug and Awareness Week. Alcohol and drug abuse is not a campus problem? As for letting other clubs plan activities, Programming Board has enough to do with movies and concerts, including the upcoming "Psychodelic Furs" concert (which we helped fund). Why can't SG plan these other events? We need a break from faculty committee meetings, new club constitution readings, and fund requests from other organiza~ lions - the duties of SG that you never hear about. So much more goes on behind SG 's closed doors than the Student Body sees; I just wish you would sit in on a meeting (or two) to hear updates on faculty committees on which each SG member holds a position - discussions about new ideas for campus and community activities, and decisions about fund requests. And lastly, did you realize that our new nightclub, "Rumours," was entirely funded and planned by SG? Over $92,000 and more than two years were put into something that will give Wilkes students somewhere to go and have a good time without alcohol.

Ray Ott lonna Yedlock Sincerely, Amy Schukis Junior Class Representative R emember early last year when, in a fit of rage, we all decried the actions of the school's administration as parental? We asked to not be seated at the Thanksgiving dinner "kiddie table?" The Ivory Tower inhabitants have once, again decided to pull a fast one on the campers here at Camp Wilkie. And their fast one has a majority of the residence community in a uproar. The latest news is that Residence Life wants to create a number of "quiet dorms" for next year. Amongst the rules of these quiet dorms - we'll refer to it as "restictive housing" - are 24-hour quiet hours (Sunday night through Friday afternoon) and no co-ed visitation after a certain hour (most likely 11 :00 p.m. during the week and midnight on weekends). Granted, the 24-hour quiet hours may be something that some dorm students may want (the rest will go stir crazy) but since when is it necessary for 'co-ed visitation be so resticted? We are not children and shouldn't be treated as such. Yet the administrstion not only feels that we should be treated in such a manor; they think we want to be treated that way. They went so far as to designate two dorms for this drastic manuever. Albeit they haven't been "officially" delineated for this purpose, it must have at least been mentioned. How else would residents of these buildings have been able to express their displeasure over this act? T he real slap in the face, should this happen, will come to the current inhabitants of the-dorms in question (not the actual named dorms but the proposed restictive houses). What if they enjoy living in their room with their current roommate in the aforementioned soon-to-be-restrictive house? And while this is true, what if they don't want to live in a restictive dorm? What do they do? They obviously don't have a choice. Someone who wants to live in a restictive house will get their room and they go into a lottery for a vacant room in a different house or, heaven forbid, one of the institutional dorms (Evans or Pickering, which they've been trying to avoid). Someone who pays the exorbitant fees that it takes to remain in the dorms should certainly get the right to choose where they live. If someone wants peace and quiet in the dorms, that's fair. All dorms should have a set of hours put aside as quiet hours. No one should be forced to live in a prison where they can't have opposite sex visitors in their room after 11 :00 p.m. That's taking the role of caretaker just a bit too far.

Many are familiar with such Furs' hits as Pretty in Pink from the John Hughes movie and Heartbreak Beat, the latest Billboard top 40 hit, but few '.lfe aware of the band's road to success. Stated Columbia Records promoter Julie Steigman, "the Psychedelic Furs are a group with a history and an evolution." That evolution began with the introduction of the group's first album, The Psychedelic Furs. Such tracks as We Love You, Sister Europe, and India helped win considerable acclaim from the English critics. The first album also received wide exposure in the English discotheque scene. With the introduction of Talk, Talk, Talk, the Furs second album was reasonably successful in the UK, but did not entice enough US record buyers to make the top 100 list~ By the release of Forever Now, the group was beginning to undergo a transformation. Bass guitarist Roger "Dog" Morris and saxophonist, Duncan Kilburn left the group as a result of creative differences. Forever Now appeared on the upper UK chart levels and penetrated the Billboard's top JOO - a first for the furs. Love My Way backed with/ Don't Want to The Psychedelic Furs are Pretty in Pink at Wilkes Be Your Shadow proved the band's rpost successful releases to that point. Follow up albums Mirror Moves and Midnight to Midnight have continued the groups success. Issued in late 1986, Midnight to Midnight is the band's biggestselling and highest-charting disc to date. The track Heartbreak Beat climbed the American record charts and earned the album a RIAA gold record awared in 1987. . Currently the Psychedelic Furs are performing on the European leg of their world tour. Book of Days has produced two top ro UK hits and one top 20 hit in the United , States. Tickets for the April concert will go on sale Monday, March 26 in the Marts Center. Wilkes University students can purchase tickets for $8.00. No more than four tickets will be sold to an individual. Hoops are the hot shot cards no by John Gordon Beacon Feature Writer There's a new commodity on the stock market horizon and it's not likely to crash anytime soon. This new fad, hobby, or industry is the basketball card collecting kingdom. Baseball cards were the first major league hit that turned in outrageous profits. The 1986 Jose Canseco rookie card goes for around $75 and the 1985 Will Clark rookie is already valued at around $35. The buck was then passed onto the football field of heroes and legends. The dynamic duo of Joe Montana and Jerry Rice catapulted into the immediate eyes of card collectors everywhere after the last Super Bowl. Montana is currently valued between $150-$200 and Rice goes for about $45. Basketball cards have slam dunked their way into hobby shops nationwide. There are currently two companies that produce hot sets. Fleer and Hoops have established themselves as the new collecting phenomenons. However, both of these companies have produced a limited amount of cards. The only way the public can currently obtain them is through a card shop and the price for one wax box (a box of 36 packs of cards) ranges from $40-$60. Usually a wax box starts out at a price of about $17. The hot cards in these two series are the traditional superstars and some explosive rookie stars as well. Michael "Air" Jordan heads the tradi with a $2-$3 book price. Players such Bird, Magic Johnson, and Patrick E already valued at around $1.50, and these their current card prices. Their rookie v $125 for Bird and Magic (they're on Topps card in 1981). Jordan goes for aro and Ewing is priced from $50.

John Comerford Freshman I really wouldn't want to live there but I think it's a good idea for the people who would want to live there. Larry Goss Junior I think it should be voluntary not mandatory and then it would be all right.

Jeff Yankow understands this aspect of baseball and e:ijoys the feelings it produces within him. · That's why he pitches. That's why he places a Ron Darling baseball card in his cap. On the mound, he can do pretty much anything __ he wants. And that's why as a sophomore, Yankow has worked hard enough to become Wilkes' ace. "It's a tough spot to be in being so young," he said. "Our team expects a ton from me." Relax, says head coach Jerry Bavitz. Age isn't everything. "It would have been nice if Jeff could have been our number two pitcher this year, but Scott Francis went to Misericordia," Bavitz said. "Jeff will be all right, though. He drew a tough challenge, but he has good enough stuff to be a staffs top pitcher." Jeff Yankow rears back for the Colonels photo by Dale Nat "We were just tossing the ball and he how hard I could throw," Yankow said. some heat and he told me that I better get Artillery Park." When Bavitz, who scouts for the Royals and can be considered an expert, delivered to him, he recognized what positim inhabit immediately. "Jeff has a nice frame for a pitcher, "He's about 6'2", weighs about 175 and arm. He has everything you look for." Yankow's growth as a pitcher was aided with the Scranton Red Soxx of the p Atlantic Coast Baseball League last summer "Just being on that team was a great e he said. "I didn't get to pitch a lot, but you an invitation like that up." Bavitz agrees. "It's good to play with higher level. You learn from just watching and increase your knowledge of the game." Yankow has a knowledge of what ho accomplish as the Colonels' top gun. Compared to the conditions that bred Yankow to reach his current status, the job ahead will seem as puffy as a spongecake. For Yankow, pitching is a learned talenrand Bavitz has done well with his pupil. "I have to throw the league games, "That's a huge responsibility. This Sa throwing against Eric Mull of Susquehanna, mine from the Red Soxx. "I never was a pitcher," Yankow said.

Natale, a 6'8", 215-pound center, became a force for the Colonels against some very tough MAC competition. In 18 league games, Natale averaged 12 points and 6 rebounds per contest. The Butler, New Jersey native also shot 44.5 percent from the field and 68 percent from the foul line. · His best league performance was against Delaware Valley College in January when he scored 23 points and pulled down eight rebounds in a 73-72 Wilkes. win at the Marts Center. During the season, he was also named ECAC rookie of the week for his · outstanding play. Overall in 25 games, Natale scored 314 points (12.5 per game), and gathered 187 rebo"unds (7.4). He finished third on the team in scoring and second in rebounding for the 12-13 Colonels. Wilkes head coach Ron Rainey was excited upon hearing the news. "I think it's great for Joe that he was honored like this," said the veteran coach. "Joe's a hard worker and is oaly going to get better. He'll be a player that people will talking a lot about in the future. His best years are certainly in front of him." A three-year-letterwinner at Butler High School, Natale was also a member of the National Honor Society. He is an electrical engineering major. Joe Natale scored 314 points for the Colonels Softballers replace a few carpet riders Last year, the Lady Colonels softball team took a magical carpet ride to the top of the Division III softball world. The Vince Trivelpiece coached squad jumped out to a 3-1 record, and then it happened. The Lady Colonels caught fire, reeling off 17 straight victories. · They also found themselves playing for the MAC championship, losing to Muhlenberg, 4-3. But the regular season and MAC run was noticed by the NCAA selection committee, which extended them a bid to the national tournament. The Lady Colonels won their opening toull}ament game, 4-3 over Allegheny. But that would be the last victory for this bunch. The Lady Colonels dropped a 4-3 decision to Muhlenberg in 8 innings and were bumped from the double-elimination tournament when Allegheny avenged its earlier defeat, 7-5. And now that glorious run is n6thing but a faded memory. For the Lady Colonels have changed in more ways then one. Head coach Vince Trivelpiece, who did such a wonderful job in guiding the team in his first season as skipper, has resigned and assistant Joe Drach decided to give it up also. Tom Dunsmuir, an assistant last year, and head field hockey coach Addy Malatesta have taken over the reins as co-head coaches. Also gone from last year's team is Jen Bodnar, the team's probable MVP. The lefthanded pitcher appeared in 22 games, pitching 124.2 innings while recording a 17-3 record to go along with a stingy 1.23_ ERA. but Dunsmuir said that could all be behind her now. "Kim has improved 100 percent over last year," he said. "She ~orked 'real hard during the summer and fall. She was always in the gym throwing. "The thing she had to improve on was her control and she's done that. She's also developed some new pitches. She now has four pitches." Too bad Dunsmuir and Malatesta couldn't have four Skrepenaks. The pitching ranks are thinner than any other position on the team. The co-coaches will look for freshman Amy Matista, a righthander from John F. Kennedy High School in New Jersey, for some help. "I don't think Amy really pitched in high school, but when practice started she said she wanted to give it a try," Dunsmuir said. "I think she will be OK. Her biggest problem at times is she sees Skrepenak throw and she wants to throw that hard. If we can get four or five good innings out of her, it will be a big plus." Handling the pitcqing staff will be sophomore Denise Carson, who makes the move from first base Her graduation has made senior righthander Kim Skrepenak the staff ace, not to mention the only proven performer on the hill. Skrepenak was 7-2 with a 1. 77 ERA. Two of those wins were no-hitters. Still, Skrepenak struggled at times with her control, . to catcher. Carson will be trying to fill the shoes of Melissa Kennedy. Dunsmuir forsees no problem. "Denise will do a fine job for us behind the plate," he said. "She has a real good arm so she will be able to throw runners out." The comers in the infield are still up for grabs. Sophomore Lupini anc,l freshman Hillary Blake will battle for the first base job. The hot comer will be manned by either Chris Krushinski or when she isn't pitching. "Those two positions are really still undetermined but we whoever plays will do the job," said Dunsmuir. The middle of the diamond might just rank as the best in the It's comprised of senior second baseman Jill McGuire, seniors Lisa Balestrini, and sophomore centerfielder Lorrie Petrulsky. McGuire is a two time MAC all-star who led the Lady Col hitting last year with a .365 average. She will hit leadoff and provide an anchor in the infield. "Jill is very consistent She hits leadoff, gets on base, and steal or hit-and-run with her," Dunsmuir said. "Defensively, theie one better. In my three years here, I can only remember her co about five errors and she usually has more chances than anyone else. Balestrini, who hit .337 last year and was also an all-star, will best to be a Cal Ripken clone. "Lisa will be our cleanup hitter, so she will have to hit ((I power," said Dunsmuir. "Defensively, she has great range and strong arm." The final piece to the strong middle puzzle is Petrulsky. outstanding quickness gives her great range. Couple that with her than strong arm and don't expect many people to score from second. . The leftfield position will be split between sophomore Naholnik, freshman Jeanie Coles, and Skrepenak, when she isn, the rubber. The rightfield position will be solid. Dawn Hosler, who hit .3 year, will hold it down. "Dawn threw four people out at first last year from right, know she has a extremly strong arm," said Dunsmuir. Dunsmuir believes this year's team is one that could also ex magical carpet ride. "We have a lot of experience with six starters returning," "Our defense is strong and we should be able to score some runs. pitching will definitely be the key. "I think we can do better or just as well as last year, but I think that, we have to start working a lot harder. They can't just think walk on the field and win because of what happened last year. If they do, their magic carpet will come to a crashing halt. / g beacon l the scientif lieve that it, looking . f flying objec1 may be them rids we dor U.F.O. e organiza ts and art esident o stobe tt � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

O' Hop stated that the reason for the added three percent raise over the 4.5 percent inflation rate was because "tuition only covers 70 - 75 percent of the total expenses. When programs arc changed, there arc associated costs where included." O' Hop also remarked that Wilkes is doing its best to ensure that the best quality education is being offered.

He reports that there is a 71 percent reduction of vandalism at the all-male dorm. "Students seem to care more about where they live," offered Bloom. "More Pickering residents are opting to remain here after each semester, especially the freshman." This may be due to the fact that Pickering has more to offer its dwellers. As of October of 1989, Pickering has a television lounge were the old basement weight room was located. Pickering had gone with out any sort of lounge for over two years. When Bloom was hired for his present position during the summer of 1989, he put such Pickering renovations on his high priority list. Efforts are underway to install a video cassette recorder for the lounge by the end of the semester. Lamps are ready to replace µie existing lluorescent lights, and pictures are aw;l.iting proper hanging supports. Most students use the room to study or "crash out" while waiting for their wash to finish in the adjacent laundry room. Various meetings have been held there and resident assistants have had the opportunity to secure the room for dorm meetings or lectures. In addition, the latest in the "Finger Bowl" series of ettiquette dinners was served there. The single laundry room will be subdivided onto the three wings of each floor. A washer and dryer will be placed in the rooms currently regarded as the garbage rooms which simply house a single garbage can. Each wing would then be responsible for its own laundry unit thus cutting down on the machines' neglect and misuse; the blame could more easily be placed. Bloom said that the transitions should be rather easy for the kitchenettes located directly behind the rooms will provide water and electrical sockets are already present. Wilkes' service Jocus offorum WILKES-BARRE -How can Wilkes work better to meet the needs of the students? That is the question to be discussed at an all-University Forum to be held on Tuesday, March 20, at 8:00 p.m. in the CPA. The Beacon and Student Government are co-sponsoring this open discussion. The purpose of the forum is to giveWilkes students and faculty a chance to air their views and ask questions of ten people on the panel. Panelists will be Christopher Breiseth, President of Wilkes; George Waldner, Vice President for Academic Affairs; Paul Adams, Associate Dean of Student Affairs; Marcie Kreinces, Student Government President; Mark Allen, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs; Dan Kopen, M.D., Board of Trustees member; Phil Wingert, Associate Director of Athletics; Erin . Ostroski, Bookstore Manager; Gerald Cookus, Director of Campus Security; and a representative of the Food Service. Karen Donahue, Vice President of Student Government, will give opening remarks. Christopher Augustine, a junior Communications major, will moderate the forum. Other members of the Group Discussion class who planned the Forum are Tara Haas, Mark Maxwell, Valerie Sweeney, Stacey Symccko and Karen Turbowitz. According to Valerie Sweeney, the forum organizers tried to contact a key spokesperson for every facet of student life. "We are pleased with the cooperation of all people we have asked to participate,"said Sweeney. Have a concern, complaint or question about what goes on at Wilkes?

He also stated that there is protection of endangered species. He ended his note with a rebuke towards the "Anti-Fur" team's remark about his loss of a job if trapping was made illegal with the remark that he would be the one enforcing the laws. The final remar~ was presented by Notartomaso, who felt that the exoloitation of America must stop and people must get involved. "If apathy continues, the situation will get worse," he said. He also pointed out that wildlife should not be distorted, and trapping is cruel and unnecessary. The next part of the debate was the cross examination between each side.

After seeing this debate and seeing how human beings can treat each other I can honestly say that I was absolutely appalled. views, while the pro furs had to be told only once. I am not saying that the pros were more right, but three times is three times. I feel that the~ so-called "mature" adults should set an example an keep quiet when they are supposed to. OPINION Another thing I could not figure out was why each "team" was unable to acknowledge what each other stood for. All night the opposite team to both sides was known as "the opponent." I feel that for any real communication each side should accept the other's argument and put it into consideration and at least attempt to understand from where each is coming from. by Jeffrey C. LoBalbo Note that I am not criticizing either side. I am neither pro nor anti fur. Isimplyamstatingthatmembers from the same human family should treat each other with more respect despite opposing views on whatever subject. Remember, this wasn't brain surgery. This was intended to be merely a friendly debate to discuss different views, and not attempt to force their opinions down the throats of their opponents. I am not saying that voicing opinions is wrong, but the way it is done is. During the debate I observed that both sides had a problem obeying the rules. The anti-fur audience had to be told three times to allow the "opposition" to complete their I also noticed that during the debate both sides denoted the other's intellect and logic abilities. If these people had any intelligence, they would have left each other alone in the first place, or at least been more civil. Personally I do not care whether aperson buys a fur coat, cats meat, or whatever. If a person makes a decision and is happy with it, he should be allowed to live in peace and not be scorned or raped because 15, 1990 ~--®~ERE MEN ARE lJUdllNG-...

Mr.Tom Bi spring semesters s expressed in this 1ecessarily reflect :rs to the editor First of all, I don't see how can say that we ( Student ment) have not done "anyreally good." i guess the activithat we provide for dents are good, the money we donate to "cs is not good, and the help we campus clubs is not good either. The concept of SG is an or. tion that is set up for students ~udents who want to and will ea difference. The members of should be commended for the ntof time and effort that we put everything we do, not criticized few weeks because there is ·ng else to write about. SG is ys willing to listen to student !ems, complaints, or suggesno matter what the topic is. If it oot somehting for us to deal wiht tly, it is turned over to the other ups of the Government. For pie, you mentioned parking and sing problems. Parking ems are handled by the ComCouncil and housing problems handled by the Inter-Residence Council. The presidents of these organizati'ons attendall SG meet- ings and deal with the complaints llS they see fit. As for scholarships for "fellow leaders," if we are not aware of it, how are we supposed to deal with the problem? Yuo must think that we are mindreaders. We, the student leaders (you included), are constantly confronted with setting good examples for other students, providing activities and dealing with the ever-frustrating apathy. To deal with this, we try to promote a positive attitude and plenty to do. I, along with all of the membersofSG, have been trying all year to make this year the best it could be and when I read your edi torial I was very offended. Student Government is not "damned" to repitition as you stated last week. What would happen ifwe were to say that next year there will be no Homecoming Weekend, no Winter Weekend, and no Cherry Blossom Weekend? Don't you think people might complain? I also do not understand why, if you are ~ against our activities, you participate in them? Homecoming is a tradition and Winter Weekend is just plain fun. I'm sorry if we are trying to make this (college) an enjoyable experience for everyone. Aside from the fun activities, we deal with fund requests from groups that need money for conventions, etc., constitution readings for newly formed clubs. and all of us arc on one of th~ five or six faculty commiuees. Since this seemed to be directed toward your dissatisfaction with Winter W cckend, let me tell you a few things about it. We brought in $800 to donate to St. Vincent DePaul's Soup Kitchen in WilkesBarre. MembcrsofSGwillbcspcnding an afternoon there serving lunch and presenting the check. I certainly hope that this docs not tum into a game like the one you created with Pete the Colonel. In my opinion, that was very unprofessional when I'm sure there were other topics to write about. I cannot recall how many times a Beacon Representative was invited to attend SG meetings so you'd know what was going on maybe now is a good time to take us up on our offer. Yes, you succeed as a writer by provoking a response from us, but I suggest next time you attack an issue worth attacking. Marcie K.reinces President, Student Government eacon: 'A lone voice against SG' lam writing in response to the h 8, 1990 editorial regarding dissatisfaction of Student menL First of all, you seem to only one who feels this way. I not, in almost three years here at es, heard anyone but you slanStudent Government, or any campus organization for that .

As as Iknow, no student wishing to · his or her dissatisfaction has been turned away from a cnt Government meeting. you ought to try it sometime voice your personal dissatisfacof Student Government in front diem, instead of hiding The Bea- In regards to "Winter Weekend" or as you put it, "the carnival," perhaps you should get your story straight before you print it. After all, itsn 't that the professional thing to do? Then again, you certainly are not acting professional anyway. You participated in Winter Weekend and seemed to enjoy it as much as everyone else. After all, you were on a team last year ("Rocky and Bullwinkle," I believe) and came back for more this year as_a member of the "Great Depression" teani. You didn't seem to mind Student Government's participation then. Also, you felt that Student Government took over "full control" of Winter Weekend. Well, why didn't you and/or the rest of your Beacon staff offer to help? I personally know quite a few people who put 110% of their tinle and effort into organizing the affair. They weren't doing it for themselves, either. They were doing it to benefit the 400 students that participated and the charity to which they are donating S800. In being analogous to Student Government in terms of George Bush and "Danny-Boy" Quayle, you make no sense whatsoever. Apparently you think that events such as Winter Weekend and Casino Night "just don't happen." Well I have news for you, Mr. Know-it-all-editor. College is more than just keeping one's nose in a book or sitting in a small room on the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center trying to think of ways to make other campus leaders look bad in an attempt to make yourself look better. Sincerely, Kristine Bauer 'T here was a television show a couple of years ago . called, appropriately enough, The Greatest American Hero. The show chronicled the life of a school teacher who gets touched by greatness and becomes a costumed crime fighter. The show kind of hinted that John Q. Public could rise from mediocrity and teach the world a lesson or two. It allowed us a glimpse of the life of that John Q. Public and the ups and downs of heroism. Wilkes University got a double glimpse at the lives and times of a number of John Q. Publics over the last week and a half. First, early last week, Tim Weigard, a Wilkes junior, defi~ed the word "hero" with a real game-winning tackle. No, it wasn't another tackle from his safety position on the Colonel football squad. It was the tackle of an alleged fur thief that scored points for Tim and a local business. Weigard and another local man tackled someone who was seen leaving Stein's Furrier Shop with over $5,000 worth of fur coats. Weigard sat on his chest for ten minutes while the Wilkes-Barre police cruised by to pick up the alleged thief. Weigard was lauded by city police and was recognized by the Mayor in a ceremony at the courthouse. Weigard, by putting his butt on the line, is a hero. T his weekend, Wilkes hosted its first EJW A tournament. The team finish was disappointing but, thanks to some individual performances, Wilkes will be represented at the University of Maryland in two weeks for the NCAA tournament. These men - from Aaron Tufankjian who bo~ed out early, to Steve Schannauer and Mike Schroat who lost in the final round - are all heroes. These warriors, fighting 'ror the home crowd, put their all on the line and allowed us into their hearts every time they took to the mat. Who can forget the sight of Kurt Tamai wrestling in his third round match with an eye swollen to the size of an egg? Or Mike Froehlich's comeback from a 7-1 deficit to pull even at 8 before bowing in overtime to the eventual second place winner at 134? How about Steve Schannauer's toe pick with one second left to pull out his semifinal matc_h? These guys are real heroes and are deserving of our admiration, but they are not our only heroes. • Anyone who has ever seen a soccer match knows of the in-goal mastery of Colonel keeper, Kevin Tronkowski. Not many of you know about his achievement of Academic All-American status. His 3.726 grade average while playing soccer and majoring in engineering is truly heroic. • How about our Student Government (Yes folks, Student Government) donating the cash from Winter Weekend and their time to the St. Vincent dePaul food kitchen so that those less fortunate then us can eat courtesy of the Wilkes student body for a_day. That's heroic. • And lastly, how about the students taking the initiative in the fur debate by bringing one on campus, or our students getting involved with the M.S. SuperCities Walk-a-thon, or tutoring, or ... you get the point. Heroism is in the eye of the beholder. Be a hero. THERE WERE OTHER LETTERS IN THE BEACON MAILBOX THIS WEEK.

To George Wesley, who will appear at Rumours on Friday, March 17, at 9 p.m., Reggae is a way of life. And what a life it has been. For the Factoryville native, music has molded his attit~des for the past 25 years. It has been that way from the very first time he started jammin' with his father's country and western J?and as a guitarist. Although that past is a large measuring stick for Wesley, it remains in the past. The future is where George Wesley and his new group, The Irietations (Irie means "positive vibration" in Patois ) are headed. That future got a little bit brighter Friday when it was learned that Red Stripe Beer, the number one selling beer in Jamaica - the birthplace of Reggae - will be sponsoring Wesley and the Irietations on a West Coast concert tour starting this fall. "It makes you feel good after banging your head for so long," said Wesley. They were the first group signed by Red Stripe, who will be choosing three more Reggae bands to represent the beer. "It's going to be us and another smaller band plus two 'major' bands. I hear one of them might be "Third World'. "Red Stripe will back all of the show's dates and will get our name into the major trade magazines," said Wesley. Commercially successful or not, the music is what is important to Wesley. That music, and the freedom to do it his way, to steal a Sinatra-ism, is what counts to him. "I like making music my way. That's what makes the Irictations. It's the freedom. We're not locked into the same show every night. When you come to see George_Wesley and the Irictations, you're not going to hear the same songs." What arc you going to hear? "A little bit of the obligatory Bab Marley, some Hank Williams, Jr., Jimi Hendrix, and some Grateful Dead. They were my influences. My music is a combination of all of the other different artists that have influenced me. That's the beauty of Reggae, it's a combination of all music." According to Wesley, the influences are the same everywhere Reggae is popular. "I was in Jamaica and in the music stores there, you will find Williams, Marty Robbins, and Peter Tosh on the same racks." Wesley is an enigma in the world of Reggae. Musically speaking, he is a white man in a black man's world. This isn't a racial thing, it's just a reality of the genre. "People say we are the weirdest looking band they've ever seen," said Wesley. Rumours have it that George Wesley will appear at Wilkes "This country is scared into wrongly judging others. Times are scary. That's why I like Reggae. It isn't a question of black and white. It's just music." "We should be judged for what we feel; what you get out of being with people." "Reggae is one of the few vehicles for spreading that word of unity." The problem of prejudging comes to light in an anecdote Wesley tells of his days on the road. "We got stopped by the police when we were driving. We were stopped because of our look. Think about it, two Jamaicans and me in a car. We were stopped and searched." With the tour looming in the near future and other possibilities for headline dates, it begs the question of what would be a "dream date" for the band. · Wesley didn't have to search far and wide for the answer. "I've already done my dream gig. In October of '88 I was able to open for UB40 at the Kirby and it was absolutely great. The crowd was the best." "Usually when one band opens for another, there is an ego problem. The first band tries to outdo the major act and it stops being fun. We didn't have that problem that night." The UB40 show may have led to some more good times for Wesley and the Irietations. "Nothing is confirmed, but we might open for a UB40 tour starting in August." Tours, however, are not the lifeblood of Wesley. He will be playing at 16 different colleges, including Friday - the show will cost $5 for students two months as well as hitting the bar scene. Wesley's first major collaboration was with as The Wesley Rogers Band. As Wesley R released their only album, Strong. Strong was put together with the help ofR Sly and Robbie. "I was thrilled that they got together with definitely put their mark on the project. (Shakespeare) amazed me. He had just finished down this killer bass line when he went back· studio) and composed 'Angel of Mercy' (a Cll album)." The Irietations, the latest outlet for Weslc was formed in June, 1989. The band is made up Walker (Ilcril) on drums and percussion, and Ev(I and Wesley on lead vocals, guitar, bass, and key "Playing music is communication. I applause for approval. As long _as I know listening, dancing or just moving, that's accep for me." Wesley sums up his role as a musician easily. "We're just doing our part. If we all throw into the pond, eventually we will build up enough to wash the bad stuff away." "It's all about making a joyful noise." And that's what Wesley does best.

Who can make a tie dance in mid-air? And who can make a duck and a chicken switch bodies? The answer is David Copperfield, magician ex traordinaire. At his performance on Wednesday in the F.M. Kirby Center, Copperfield did all those things and many more. The evening started late due to technical difficulties, but once the evening started, everything was magic, literally. Being the seasoned performer that he is, Copperfield had the audience eating out of his hand the minute he made his entrance on stage. But what an entrance it was. A huge empty box was on stage with his dancers. They closed it for a minute or so, and when they opened it, there sat Copperfield on a motorcycle! With his easy going manner and dramatic talents, Copperfield kept the audience entranced even though there were times that he had to wait for his crew to finish setting up (difficulties arose because of the small stage size at the Kirby). The dancing tie routine was, for me, a highlight of the evening. After borrowing a tie from a member of the audience, Copperfield turned on some Jamaican style music and made the tie dance. Of course, prior to the tie dance, there was a nice comic bit between the tie's owner and Copperfield. They tapped upon the glass box in which the tie was to dance as if it were a drum. It ended with the audience member upstaging 15, 1990 • • and he's gone the star of the show in the drumming competition. In another portion of the show, Copperfield took a chicken and a duck, "pulled" their heads off and switched their bodies. Talk about g~netic engineering! The most harrowing portion of the evening consisted of one of Copperfields most dramatic escapes. He was strapped to a table, with a box around him and his wrists showing in handcuffs. Above him, moving slowly downward, was a huge buzz saw. The audience watched him get out of the handcuffs, open the box, and in plain sight begin to remove the metal braces holding him to the table. Suddenly, as he was in the midst of removing the second brace, the buzz saw fell, cutting the magician in half. He proceeded to be magically separated and put back together. The final bit of the evening had Copperfield in a biker outfit and back on his motorcycle. He rode the bike onto a cage-like platform that was then raised approximately 20 feet in the air. He lit a flare and the cage fell apart. Both the bike and Copperfield had disappeared. Then, before the audience could catch their breath, he reappeared on a platform positioned in midst of the audience. Copperfield received a standing ovation at the end of his performance, and it couldn't have been more well-deserved. The magic show was just that, magic. And the audience left with a little bit of that magic clinging to them. They left with smiles on their faces and laughter in their voices. They left the Kirby in good spirits. Their joy was thanks to David Copperfield, a true man of magic. David Copperfield appeared and disappeared at the Kirby C A Day in Rob Gryziec.'s life Dear Editor: This is a day in the life of Rob Gryziec. Accessibility. What docs it mean. I know what it doesn't mean. I have found myself sitting outside a door that says - PULL. Easy for you to say! Or sitting at the bottom of the Bookstore steps pondering on a way to conjure a spell to make a tablet magically fly out to me. Have a meeting with your A'ct 101 counselor at Kirby Hall. Soundssoeasy, ifonly there weren't about a hundred steps between us. Maybe I'll take in a show at the Center for the Performing Arts. This shouldn't be much of a problem, but then again the last time I tried to see a show I had to be lowered bodily by the A-Team from the stage. What an entrance! But then again I always make an entrance. Well, my day has come to an end, or has it. I think I'll try and leave Stark Leaming Center. No problem. Oh! There's a door, it says PUSH. Well I think I'll increase my speed to 6MPH just to make sure I can bulldoze past it. It hooks me on the way out. Ah, the ramp is in sight. Yes, that decaying wooden thing that just happens to be a tad too narrow - and did I mention that if my steering is off by a hair I will plunge head first off a very high loading dock. I made it today, but tomorrow is another day. · But I'm adventurous, that's why I chose Wilkes University ... Rob Gryziec Can't you find something better to do? Dear Editor: As editor, it is probably difficult for you to fabricate Wilkes University maladies. I sympathize with you! You are only attempting to do your job. However, whipping the young men and women of the Student Government for organizational propensity is folly! I am making a gigantic assumption that you understand "our" (American) idea at governance.

That is what four Wilkes students decided to find out this past weekend when they attended a College Radio Seminar at LCCC. Mary Jo Rubino, Karen Jordan, Jeff Russo, and Heather Nicholas all enjoyed the seminar which was sponsored by WSFX, the LCCC radio station. While at the seminar on Saturday, the students learned that other radio stations have the exact same type of problems as WCLH, and they aren' t in as bad shape as they thought they were. · Some of the specific events included lectures on: dealing with record companies; dealing with production equipment, what to and not to buy; how to get underwriting grants; management positions; and how to write a good resume. Schools attending the seminar were Marywood, Penn State/ Wilkes-Barre Campus, Penn State/ Williamsport Campus, Stroudsburg, Wilkes, aoo LCCC: numerous things about radio station.

Simmons has been named player of the year by Basketball Weekly, United Press International, and the mouth of college basketball, Dick Vitale.

That's not to say there weren't any positives for Wilkes. Number-one seeds Mike Schroat (150 pounds) and Steve Schannauer (heavyweight) each finished second in their weight classes, earning berths in the NCAA Tournament along with the surprising Merrel Neal, who finished third at 158. But those gains were tainted by the messy situation of Ron Miller not•making weight at 126, a weight class which promised to deliver the Colonels key points. "It's a terrible thing for Ronnie to go through," said Wilkes head coach John Reese. "He was only a pound and a half over the Friday before, and he figured he could lose that no problem. He weighed himself on Monday and he was five pounds over." Despite working desperately all week, Miller was only able to drop a half pound. The senior lost his last opportunity to return to the NCAAs. So did senior Kurt Tamai, seeded second at 118. A first round loss to Navy's Robert Weis didn't seem to deter Tamai, who surged through the consolations and reached the NCAA-qualifying third place match. But Tamai, whose eye was shut courtesy of a Syracuse wrestler's headbutt, wasn't able to capitalize. His upset loss seemed to give Wilkes' effort a down tone from the beginning. "We were expecting Kurt to go a lot further," Reese said. "He really wrestled tight. That kind of hurt us in a point sense." So did sophomore Ray Mendoza's effort at 190. Expected to finish in the top three, Mendoza recovereq from a loss in the championships and roared through the consolations like a man possessed before losing in the third place match. Neal provided a pleasant lift when he took third at 158. "Like I said before Easterns, it's all in the mind," he said. "I thought I could win, that I could beat anyone I was up against. As I went on, I became even more confident." Schroat wasn't as satisfied with his performance. "I'm lucky to be going to the NCAAs," he said. "I didn't wrestle well at all. I wasn't mentally into the matches. To do well at Nationals, I have to get more intensity." But Schannauer gave a sunny perspective to the Colonels' disappointments. "Once you gei to Nationals, everyone's the same," he said. "What you did at Easterns doesn't matter anymore." For three Colonels, that's something to take solace in. Merrel Neal (right) took third at 158 photo by Donna Yedlock Mike Schroat (top) takes control on his way to a berth in the NCAA Tournament Whatever happened to Froehlic At last spring's Eastems, Mike Froehlich popped his head into the storied world of Colonel wrestling in a big way. After compiling a good but nondescript 7-3 regular season record at the 134-pound weight class, the squat Froehlich reached the semifinals at Lehigh University. A freshman in the final four of the EIWA. Froehlich had reached an early pinnacle. But things soured quickly for him. A night of trying to sweat down a few pounds depleted Froehlich's strength and shoved him back to a sixth place finish. The NCAA Tournament was forced to the shelf for another year. Forward to last weekend at the Marts Center. A still-weakened Froehlich is down 7-1 at the start of the third period to Lonnie Davis, the second seed from William & Mary. The NCAA Tournament - such a real goal at the start of this sophomore season - is fading away. A 9-8 record wasn't exactly what he had planned. But a weak body usually doesn't respond to the rigors of the mat. Froehlich knew something was wrong. "I took blood tests that showed my body did have mononucleosis at one time," he said. "I think that's what it was. I didn't have any of my strength. I didn't have the energy to work out." The condition eased in mid-February, but another malady struck Froehlich. In a meet at S pinched a nerve in his neck and reaggravaled Army. The injury caused Froehlich to matches. "I really didn't have time to get in Easterns," he said. "That may have hurt my But the rough season did have some be "It was a real learning experience," Fr "Without all of my talents available to me, I wrestle smarter. I'll be back next year." With the home crowd screaming stall_ing, Froehlich battled back to an 8-8 though he lost in overtime and didn't place, proved something to those assembled and hi No matter the outcome, he was back. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I said that I would leave the Student Government alone. I said that I wouldn't pick on them unless they really, really deserved it. Guess what folks, they, in my opinion, really, really deserve it. No it hasn't done anything specific that can be construed as "bad." However, it hasn't done anything really "good" either. It hasn't really done much of anything. That's the problem. It isn't SG's fault. That's just the way their organization has been run for the past millenium. Somebody, somewhere lost the focus of what the concept of Student Government is all about. · Especially at Wilkes University, where we have a Programming Board and a Concert and Lecture Series. There is no real reason why it should fall on the Student Government to plan such activities as Winter Weekend, Casino Night, and others. It's no problem having them co-sponsor and help with the plans, but don't take over full control. . The Student Government should be a true student organization. A body by which students can voice their disapproval for anything that might be on their minds. S tudent Government should be dealing with the administration on such matters as parking, the inadequecies of our library, scholarships for fellow leaders, housing problems, and anything else that may affect the student body. . The best comparison that I can think of that will parallel what appears to be the problem deals with our own Federal Government Can you imagine what a fiasco it would be for George to host the American public on the front lawn of the White House for a day of keg races and the bat spin. What about Danny-boy having the public over to play roulette and blackjack for fun and interesting prizes . It just doesn't happen. That's why we have Alex Trebek and Ken Ober. This brings us back to where the actual problem lies. We all know that "those who don't learn from history are damned to repeat it." The past has damned our current Student Government to constant repetition . What needs to be done is a quick revamp of the organization's constitution which would allow the Programming Board and the other SG sanctioned clubs, with the help of the Student Government, to take over the planning of these traditional events .

"The Wall is holding tight as far as print media is concerned," he said. "We have to allow the Eastern journalists to get off first base." Gansicke - a businessman to the core - had a gleam in his eye. The capitalist in him recognized the newly liberated East Germany as an untouched economic field waiting to be farmed by the country next door's largest publishing company. "It looks easy because they are Germans," he said. "We will not be catering to an outlandish or foreign audience. There's a market waiting to be conquered by well-behaved, normal news that's lively, free and entertaining." Communist newspapers sure aren't as eye-catching as USA Today. In fact, they're the complete opposite. "Their papers are very drab and gray," Gansicke said. "Besides that, they're full of party gibberish and ideological spoonfeeding. It's agitation and propaganda. "That will be over." The party line ran deeper than most would think. Journalism textbooks defined the function of the profession as the furthering of the socialist dogma, a practice totally at odds with the West's. "To the Western press, that seems obnoxious, almost criminal," Gansicke said. "To the Eastern press, those methods are absolutely clean and sacred. That 'agitation and propaganda' are two of the main tools in educating the masses in socialism. · "Socialist journalism - one did not exist without the other - was but one instrument in moving the masses." But Gansicke doesn't feel the Eastern bloc will be incapable of developing top journalists. "I compare them to a dog coming out of a pool," he said. "The dog shakes and the water's gone. The Communist ideology hasn't seeped deeply into them." Don't expect companies such as Axel Springer to pull punches and allow the Eastern press to "get off first base" when they can sieze such a tremendous business opportunity, though. Battleplans are already being drawn. "East Germany may sell 11 of their 16 publishing plants in the near future," Gansicke said. "I expect a timeframe of six months. They may allow outside businesses to build anew on fresh sites." But at that point, infiltration of East Germany was still months away . .Gansicke switched gears and told our group and a handful of Berlin university students about the differences between the West German and American press. "In West Germany, journalism is deliberately kept open," he said. "You don't need a degree. We try to appeal to all walks of life. "In our hiring practices, journalistic talent is very decisive, but you must also have a treasure in the some specific knowledge in an area such as · political science. "We don't have much use for stud communication." Another large contrast is the German abh political endorsement. It is especially strange in a where the press functions on political preferences. outspokenly so, Axel Springer is solidly right spectrum and only people with the same views consider working for the company. But both nations - despite the differencescritical mindset. "American and German audiences are s enough to know that journalists are just a filter,' said. "Germans take nothing said in newspapers a., Gansicke peered out of the window located hip West Berlin. He looked longingly over The Wal virgin journalistic territrory of East Germany. He smiled.

We learn to take the bad with the good, and we know that with death comes some form of life. On January 26, 1986, the space shuttle Challenger exploded. A nation was in anguish over the holocaust. However, in the months that followed, most of America came together over the tragedy. The incident was discussed among people with concern and care. The space program immediately set its sights on getting off the ground as soon and as safely as possible. During the summer of that same year the sports world was stunned by a terrible loss. It was not the loss of a basketball team on a buzzer-beater. It was the loss of a tremendous basketball player, and the end of a human life that touched so many people. Len Bias was on top of the world. He was a number one pick in the NBA draft and was about to join the Boston Celtics. However, his world crumbled when he gave in to the addictive realm of drugs, specifically, cocaine. He died of heart failure due to the overpowering white powder. This tragic incident struck a chord in sports fans and non-sports fans alike. I was devastated by the death for a long time. It made me more sad than any other death I had ever heard of outside of my family. One day I realized that there was possibly something positive hidden in Bias' death. This tragedy probably made many teenagers think twice before using cocaine again. I also noticed that the anti-drug campaign had grown greatly since Len Bias died in June of 1986. Another summer of sadness was on the horizon in 1989. This time the city of San Francisco was the victim, as a massive earthquake shook the Western state. There were many deaths in the 1-880 collapse and once again the country felt uneasy. The nation watched the events to follow as they unfolded on T.V. Viewers were no longer concerned with the World Series game between the San Francisco Giants and the Oakland Athletics. The game was just about to start on ABC when Al Michaels made everyone aware of the quake. Moments later, the great despair that occured was offset by images of unity and love. Ball players from both teams could be seen on the field looking to the stands for their loved ones. The most recent tragedy to capture headlines and evoke emotions was the death of Loyola Marymount basketball star Hank Gathers. He died this past Sunday after collapsing on the court at the Gersten Pavilion. He was an amazing talent who was expected to be picked early in the next NBA draft. his weak heart, Gathers' love of baske contributed to his demise. The hope is that with conditions similar to his will learn that more precious than anything else. The main asset that comes from Gathers' is how it pulls out the human spirit and many people. Death in general touches many lives. case of Hank Gathers, this event touched more people due to the fact that he was a As sad as it may sound, the world functi as we learn from tragedies such as the Gathers. We learn that tll;re are so many aspects of life, such as a basketball compared to life itself. Life moves on. Hank Gathers was as but he was also a human being. A friend recently composed a song that possibly what Gathers might be thinking as he I upon us from a better place above. The that stands out goes: Tommorrow I'll be fading from your · memory.

Probably more than you think! The initial effects of marijuana occur within a few minutes of use and lasts anywhere from two to four hours. However, recent studies have shown that secondary effects of marijuana last longer. No one describes the effects of smoking marijuana exactly the same. The varied reactions to its use are linked to its potent THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannobinol) concentrations. Effects also depend on the frequency of use, since it is very easy to build tolerance to any form of marijuana. The more you use, the more you need each time to re-create the "high." This is because marijuana's active ingredients accumulate rapidly in the body, building tolerance. Since the active amount of THC in marijuana is unregulated unlike, each dose is different · THC is absorbed through the lungs into the bloodstream almost immediately after smoking. It clings to fatty linings in cells and is released in the bloodstream over a period of time, usually a week or so. Thus, if you smoke frequently, more than once a week, you may never rid your body of the drug effect In general, the "high" most infrequent users describe is an intoxicated feeling marked by a heightened sense of awareness. Because a negative environment has such a strong influence, many users also report paranoia, anxiety and withdrawal from social interaction as a primary effect. The downside effects of marijuana can occur after any amount of use, but more frequently with prolonged use. They can include impairment of hand-eye coordination, making driving unsafe; infertility; increased heart rate leading to panic attacks; and distorted visual and time perceptions leading to anxiety, paranoia, and worst of all, drug dependence. Recent studies show marijuana also reduces the efficiency of the body's immune system, so smokers usually have more infections and are less protected against illness from bacteria and viruses. Marijuana diminishes both male and female reproductive hormones, which cause a reduction in fertility by lowering sperm count and disrrupting ovulation and the menstrual cycle. Marijuana is attached to high fat-containing areas in the body, such as the brain, ovaries and testicles. The tar contained in marijuana is five to ten times higher than in cigarettes, thus increasing the already dangerous risk of cancer for cigarette smokers who use marijuana. . Smoking marijuana causes a temporary "high" but can have a permanent effect on your life. Use common sense, marijuana should be considered dangerous and very harmful to your health. Cocaine by Betty Kwak Special to the Beacon Cocaine is an akaloid obtained from the leaves of Erythroxylon coca. It produces intense shortlived euphoria accompanied by indifference to pain or hunger as well as illusions of great strength, endurance, and mental capacity. Subsequent use is never quite as good as the first time. The feelings of euphoria are followed by a "crash," a state of deep depression and sadness. Cocaine is costly, and can lead to the use of alcohol or other -- how it kil depressants to counter cocaine's effects of nerve disturbances, disrupted sleep and work patterns, and distory perception of one's effectiveness, thus affecting academinc performance. · Cocaine use may also cause long-term heart damage that goes unnoticed until a heart attack occurs, possibly at a young age. According to LR. Welles.PhD, high doses of cocaine produce very serious effects in the heart and the brain. These organs generate subtle electrical currents.

You could be big-headed and say we're gonna last ten years. But soon you would be lucky if you lasted three months." John Lennon had no idea when he said these words that he and three other lads from Liverpool, England would change pop music forever. February 8, 1964 marked the first appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. This brought the "Fab Four" into every household in America. The reaction of the audience was just a sampling of great things to come. Following this appearance they launched a world tour, which only highlighted their popularity all around the world. But as the months passed, touring became intolerable. Following each performance the Beatles would be confined to their hotel room, unable to emerge for any reason. This caused a tremendous strain on all four members of the group. On August 29, 1966 the Beatles appeared at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, California. This was to be their last live appearance. From here on in, the great musical experiment began. Vast hours were spent in the studio creating different sounds and developing new techniques of play1ng. With the assistance of their producer George Martin, the Beatles' productions became more elaborate. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. No one in the music business could believe what they were hearing. It became the quintessential album of its time. The success of Sgt. Pepper revealed the Beatles' power to affect their listeners. · The death of the Beatles' manager and confidant Brian Epstein greatly affected the course of events to follow. Now that he was gone, there was no one to stop the Beatles from breaking apart This personal breakdown was reflected in their musical projects. More complications soon arose in the forms of Yoko Ono, Lennon's live-in companion, and Linda Eastman, McCartney's girlfriend. On May 20, 1970, Let it Be premiered at the London Palladium. It was a film about the productioom None of the Beatles made an appearance. This beginning of the end of the greatest rock and world has ever scene.

This, however, will be no walk in the park. Miller will be competin~ in the 126-pound weight class, perhaps the EIW A's toughest div.is ion. · "The 126-pound class probably has the best overall talent," said Wilkes head coach John Reese. "It h.a s three guys who dropped down from the 134-pound division. The seedings should be interesting. There are six outstanding kids. "If Ron wrestles the way he did two •years ago, he should have a real good shot." Miller's biggest nemesis appears to be .John Epperly, the two~time defending champ at 126. Epperly has also come down from the 134-pound division for the Easterns. He and Miller are no strangers. "I've wrestled him twice before," Miller said. "One time I lost to him 10-8 and another time I beat him 13-11. I would put him as the favorite. If there is anyone I wouldn't want to run into,llntil the finals, it's him . "He loses matches now alld then but come t0t1rnament time, he's ready. I'd like to save him for the fi nals where there is no pressure because wi n or lose, you're going to the Nationals. The pressure match is the semifinal. " Some other outstanding wrestlers who could provide the roadblock for Miller's return to Nationals are Mark Ferguson (Cornell), Dave Warnic (Army), Mark Smith (Navy) and Kevin Foster (William&Mary). Miller concedes the talent is deep at 126 but remains confident that he has the ability to fare well. 829•8901 LIMITED DELMRY AREAi Delivery Daily 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. PIZZA 16" (12cuts) .... ........... .. ... ... .... .... .. ............... ...... .............. .. ...$7.75 12• (8 cuts) .. ............. ...... ........ .. .... ... ..................................... $5.50 HOAG/ES Italian $3.75 Meatball Tuna $3.75 Meatball Parmesan Turkey $3.75 Sausage Steak& Cheese $4.00 Ham &Cheese Hoagie Toppings .. ................ $.35 SSW, 't train )j I wor1 entails · plum Ron Miller (left) is looking to find the form that carried him to the NCAAs as a freshman "Every weight class is tough, but overall, I would say 126 is the toughest," Miller said. "Despite that, I'm definitely confident, especially since I placed three times before." As a freshman, Miller was pushed into the limelight and his response - making it all the way to Nationals - exceeded anyone's expectations, He also placed in his sophomore and junior seasons, but not good enough to make it back to the NCAAs. Last year, a knee injury made him a redshirt anct did the trick. Miller hopes the injury is behind him now and counts on the valuable experience he has gained to thrust him into one of the top three spots. "I've wrestled in the Easterns at 134 and 126, so I have experience," he said. ''I'm confident that going back to 126 will help me. I feel strongly that I will place." Part of that confidence may have to do with the fact that Wilkes will be hosting the Easterns this year. After all, there's no place like home. "I definitely think the Easterns being positive," Miller said. "The biggest ben digital scale they use. Usually your home either heavy or light a pound. It makes it you're a pound under and then you get on and you're heavy. The scales are here now use them to see how much we weigh." Miller also hopes to draw off the emotill being his last wrestling appearance as a Col "Hopefully we will get the home crowd people will get excited."

"Once in a while I will hit him in the face," Hack said. "Once that happens, he gets mad and beats onme." Hack is not Schannauer's only victim. Over the course of four years as a starter, he has, beaten countless ~pponents into oblivion. The key to his victories can be summed up in one word - intensity. "Steve wrestles with more intensity than any other heavyweight in the East," said head coach John Reese. "It's hard to wrestle Steve because he's so intense," Hack said. "He hates to lose." How did Schannauer become so intense? Having an older brother usually does the trick. "I think most of my intensity comes from my brother Leroy," Schannauer said. "He's 25 and I always had to fight against him growing up. "When I'm on the mat, I'm always intense. I like to look the other person in the face. Sometimes it makes them weary if they want to be out there. You have to be intense and try to get the other guy before he gets you." Intensity isn't the only thing Schannauer got from Leroy. As an eighth grader, he was a tag~along little kid on big brother's recruiting trip to Wilkes. "When I came up for my visit, Dennis Mejias and Andre Miller (former Colonel All-Americans) took me around and were really good salesmen for the school. All the people I met made me feel at home." Reese has been thanking the Man Up Above since Schannauer enrolled four years ago. He was an instant starter and has been such an excellent performer Schannauer was not a state champ, but upon graduation from Wilson High School in Reading, Pa. he almost traded in his singlet for shoulder pads and a helmet. "I played defensive tackle, fullback, and tight end in high school," said Schannauer. "I got scholarship offers from Maryland, Wake Forest, Northern Arizona and a few other schools. "I wanted to play football but I didn't think my height was there. I'm really glad I came to Wilkes. It has been great to me. • "Coach Reese has helped me with everything I have ever asked him to. Also, the Grapplers qub has given me a lot of support." Maybe Schannauer decided to thank the Wilkes community for what.it has done for him by turning in a more. than memorable senior season. "Steve ha~ only lost once all season and that was in the Wilkes Open to the kid from Rider," Reese said. "He later came back and beat him in a dual meet. He hasn't lost to anyone in the EIW A, although he did tie the kid from Lehigh. I think he deserves his number-one seed in the Eastems." Schannauer looks at his one loss as a learning experience, and maybe even a blessing. "I think losing sometimes helps you," he said. "I was just talking to Mike S.Chroa~ and Merrel Neal the other day. We thought if you have a loss towards the end of the season, it helps you to get your head into it more." Schannauer hopes to avoid a loss this weekend as he battles for his first trip to the Nationals. The fact that he has never made it before weighs heavily upon his broad shoulders. · "I think I have to prove myself, this being my last year and the fact that there isn't a pro wrestling you can advance to," Schannauer said. "I try not to think about it and put pressure on myself. I know I just need to put things together." He does so in a manner no other heavyweight can. al counting on strength -BARRE - Believe it or not, Merrel to be pushed around.

"I knew change." weight room became Neal's oasis, a place could build a body able to control an Because of the added muscle, wins began to , but not in a normal fashion. Neal weight classes often, a habit that may have UJ in the long run. 'Tm glad lo be back at 158," Neal said. "That's where I'm al my best. I hit the weights and was able to bring myself up to a higher level." A mental adjustment also aided his performance. "You just have to go out there and believe no one can beat you," he said. "To adopt that view is easier said than done. It's kind of tough to get up for every match in a season." Wrestling head coach John Reese isn't complaining about any aspect of Neal's turnaround. "He's really improved," he said. "Merrel's always wrestled well on the mat. He can still get better on his feet, but he's done well." Neal, who's engaged and keeps two dogs, has a tough time fitting wrestling into his schedule. But he does make room and is happy about it. "Wrestling helped me realize I could achieve what I wanted through hard work," he said. "It better equips you for a working condition. It will carry over into finding a job and things like that." But before he worries about a career, Neal has a little work to do on some opponents in the Easterns this weekend.

Missing All-America by status by a lone victory will do that to a wrestler. But in his defeated mode, Schroat came to a realization that gave his wrestling career the finar nudge it needed to reach its full potential. I'm close. Very close. As the EIWA championships roll into the Marts Center tomorrow, Schroat will get his last chance to discover exactly how near to the nation's best he dwells. ''I'm more mentally in tune this time around," said Schroat, seeded first in the 150-pound class. "I saw what it takes to be there at the top in Oklahoma City last year." Wilkes head coach John Reese feels Schroat will waltz into the NCAAs in high style. "Mike should win his weight class in Easterns," he said. "There's really no one in the conference capable of beating him if he's wrestling at his best." The same was true throughout Schroat's 20-2-3 campaign. "Mike's so solid," Reese said. "His teammates know that no matter how the squad is doing, we can count on Mike to win. That's a nice feeling." Schroat won't be subject to the immense pressure that usually accompanies big tournaments. "I've been there before," he said. "I've participated in these in the past and I'm not worried about the hype. Experience releases the nervousness." Schroat will most likely release mayhem on his opponents. His extreme quickness and angular balance produce a darting, controlled aggressor on the mat. Schroat's talent is unorthodox. But it works. "His style is so distinctive," Reese said. "He's under control on the mat, which is a key factor. He's probably in the best shape of anyone on the team. That allows him to dictate the tempo." Su~h. a privelege was gained by the sweat lost and the determination displayed deep in the recesses of the Marts Center. Schroat understands the basic code of anyone aspiring for greatness - practice hones skill, skill brings victory. "I know that if I want to do well in the matches, I have to work hard all the time," he said. "It doesn't happen without that effort." Reese agrees. "Mike's work ethic is tremendous," he said. "He does the little things that so many other guys won't. If we're doing moves or something like that, Mike will continue even if he's done with his prescribed amount." Does that make Schroat a natural role model? "Mike is looked up to. He's a quiet leader," Reese said. "He doesn't say much. But he's all business on the mat." Schroat has embraced the collegiate lifestyle wrestling carved for him. "It definitely made me a better person," he said. ''I'm a stronger person and I was able to budget my time." He was also able to become a big winner. And the dream of winning a national title has vaulted to the forefront of his psyche again. The Eastems, the doorway to that fantasy, is now the only thing on the senior's mind. "It's hard to concentrate on anything else right now," Schroat admitted. "They are so close to happening." So close. WILKES-BARRE - An excellent season like the 17-4 Colonels posted this year is nothing new to John Reese, wrestling coach. High standards are the norm around these parlS. But the regular season is just that. It's a testing troops, a stage on which to practice for the big show, the presentation of the 16-team EIWA tournament. The Easterns open with morning matches at the tomorrow and continue Saturday. With the added incentive of hosts, the Colonels are in a mood to be dangerous. "We ha~e a veteran team," Reese said.

The 1e end and c "No rain, no snow, no sleet, no dead of night." Well, how about, mud, cold, flurries, hangovers, and exhaustion? Despite all these minor setbacks, the 1990 Wilkes University Winter Weekend Games proved to be an other hard fought and enjoyable victory for all. It could be described in four words: "Wilkes Winter Weekend worked!" Student Government President Marcie Kreinces agreed. "The Weekend went well," said Kreinces. "Besides a few minor incidents, that we were '"" able to handle, and the fact a few of the events took longer than expected, it was a good Winter Weekend. It had a lot of spirit and everyone seemed to have fun." The fun started Friday night at 6:30 p.m. at opening ceremonies. After a few announcements by Kreinces, the twenty teams, representing the beginning of time to the distant future, all going along with this yeai:'s theme of "It's About Time," were each given one minute to strut across center platform. Each team was judged on spirit (shown by a team cheer), ' costumes, and their team banner.

After 3 1/2 hours (8:00 to 11 :30) of grueling volleyball, Only "Team 2000" remained undefeated and took first place. The games continued Saturday morning across the river at the Ralston Field Hockey Field at 9 a.m. Saturday's events and festivities, coordinated by S.G. members Clara Best and Bill Hanigan, provided a serious challenge to even the most seasoned Winter Weekenders. Tipping off Saturday's competition, the Bat Spin Relay Race, was won by the very well balanced Team 2000. Following next, The Keg Roll, proved to be a piece of cake for "WAR," who pushed ahead of all the others. Blindfolded Basketball seemed to baffle everyone but the "Nomads." Their blindfolded, uplifted free-throw-shooter out scored everyone else to a victory in that event. After a break for lunch, the games resumed at Wilkes University's Ralston Field Hockey Field at 2:00 p.m., with the Team Ski Walk and the Long Jump competitions. "Team 2000" proved to be the most coordinated ski walks and the longest long jumpers by sweeping both events. The next event was ' an odd-and dangerous--combination of ring around the roses and a 32 legged race. To compete in the "Amoeba" event, 14 members of each team had to make a complete circle while one of the remaining two hosted themselves on the others remaining team member's shoulders. This sounded difficult enough, but make this human Amoeba sprint against other team's human Amoebas and still stay together seemed impossible. Yet, no one seemed to tell this to "The Freedom Fighters" who not only stayed together, but Amoeba-ed down the home-stretch and a first place victory fas ter than everyone else. The Finale of Saturday's events was the team Tug-A-War. In this head to head single elimination competition, "Team 2000" stood alone at the end undefeated. Sunday's events a festivities consisted of an "Other Handed Bowling" competition and closing ceremonies. "The Cavemen" took first place in this event by showing that they can bowl better with their recessive hand than any other team. The 1990 Wilkes University Winter Weekend concluded at 2:00 p.m. with closing ceremonies and announcements of the top 3 teams and winners of each event. The Top 3 1990 Wilkes U. Winter Weekend teams were: 1st. "Team 2000," 2nd. "The Freedom Fighters," 3rd. "The Cavemen." According to official Student Government results, the top three team place winners were followed by: 4th. (tie) "WAR" and "The Hedonists." 5th "The Bicentennials." 6th. "The Speak Easys." 7th. (4 way tie) "The Wild West,""The Minor Extinction," "The Great Depressions," and "The Nomads." 8th.

Your party had to be moved. The cake was already bought, the invitations sent, decorations planned and old friends were already on their way in from out of town. OPINION by Tracy Youells Imagine what would happen if you had invited 2500 people, and planned on showing a film and presenting guest speakers to talk about an issue of national interest: abortion. If you would be slightly agitated, you can already empathize with the · National Organization of Women (NOW) . The local chapter president Terry McCurdy organized a rally at which she planned on having the NOW president Molly Yard speak to local members, and showing a film called "Abortion for Survival." The event was scheduled for March 4th, at the Marts Center of Wilkes University. Her chapter sent out 2500 fliers inviting people from PA and southern New York. However, Jane Manganella, the public relations director for Wilkes, has stated that Ms. McCurdy made her reservations with a switchboard operator that did not know a phone-athon was already scheduled for that day. Although Ms. Manganella offered to help Ms. McCurdy find another suitable location for NOW's rally, she did not volunteer another building on campus that wouldn't nullify the effect of the fliers. I'm very doubtful as to where I would place the blame. For instance, I doubt that Ms. McCurdy organized an event like this on the word of a switchboard operator. I also doubt that the room a phone-a-thon needs is anywhere near the size of that a rally would. I doubt that it's very difficult to change the location of phone-athon. I also doubt that there are no other buildings available for either the phone-a-thon, or the NOW rally. Lastly, based on the previous assumptions, I doubt that the only reason for refusing the abortions rights' rally the Marts Center was an error in scheduling and communicaiton. I don't have any idea what those reasons may be. The possibilities ... ~1lE.Y~A VIDEOi1J'E ... ~,. fie 1b GNE 1UEM ,air, m:1ce: . . . range from the personal feelings of the administration to the fear of associating Wilkes with such an inflammatory issue. The important fact remains that Wilkes University breached an agreement made in good faith. As an institution of higher learning, I feel the school could have set a better example for its students. ..:' BEcrn~~A-lr sc,wzd' Q\? 1'1~1,.1.,U\I~ oF 11-IE NAW~.• The Be,aaon Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 VOL.

This was atmosphere to take in the Rob Johansen, Tom Griffith, and Jason Delcampe The l,ights went down and the spotlight shined brightly on a brightly shining star. Christopher Collins, whowasthenarrator,madehisway onto the stage to the delight of hundreds of screaming tots and a variety of kids at heart as well. He rendered a sugar-sweet versionof"TheCandyMan." The song got a little sour for the impatient youths in the audience as it was a little to long for their tastebuds. However, The adult-kids in the audience greatly appreciated the talentandenduranceofCollins. After his seranading of the audience Collins went on to introduce the pumped up players of.the cast. A terrible trio of naughty tots caught most of the attention. The children in the audience chuckled as Augustus Gloop, portrayed by Dave Zimmerman, swayed back and forth and up and down one of the aisles. He would yell, "Food ...I must eat all the time ... Ummm ... chocolate! The kids would break out in bolts of laughter upon hearing these exclamations. The laughter raised to the next notch when Veruca Salt made her first appearance. She was played by Christine Brunnock, and she raised her voice to an obnoxious and screeching pitch. "I want my GoldenTicket!"shewouldscream, and once again the kids in the crowd would shoot out bolts and jolts of laughter. These jolts of laughter carried over to the appearance of another bold brat, Mike Teavee, played by Tom Pearce. He rocketed across the stage toting a pair of popping pistols. BANG! BANG! He'd fire his sidearms at the little people in the audience and they would giggle and shake with dizzy delight. BANG! BANG! The guns would continue to throttle the tiny tots. Even the old folks in the cast exploded with new found energy once Charlie, played by Tom Griffith, found one of the legendary Golden Tickets. Jason Delcampe, or Grandpa Dave Zimmerman as Augustus Joe, went from being a bed-ridden senior citizen to a snappy and spritely dancer. His prancing earnedhoardsofhandclappingamong the young and old in the audience. Tom Griffith, mentioned earlier, portrayed the title character, Charlie, in a gentle and kindly manner. Once again Rob·Johansen put on a performance that was pulsating and powerful. The part of Willy Wonka was tailor-made for his incredible talents. Johansen's physical stature was perfect for th e part as well. If you have seen th e ?O's film version of Willy Wonka a nd th e Chocolate Factory th en you can make comparisons between' Gene Wilder's and Rob's portrayals of th e Candy Man. Johansen pulls off a wo nd erful Willy while adding his own, unique talents to the part. The show would not be complete without those short and lovable Oompa-Loompas. They sang and danced in a way that touched everyone's funn y bone. There was one major presence on the stage and it was not the actors. The colorful, candy-coated sets dominated the play. One youngster exclaimed, "Awesome! " as he witnessed the introduction of the chocolate room. The kids continued to be amazed with each raising of the curtain. There were gumdrops galore as well as wh'ip, bean, and cream rooms. One of the best props was the Everlasting Gobstopper Machine. BLOOP! BLOOP! The contraption let out exasperating gasps as it produced a full-course- meal bubble gum ball. Violet Beauregarde, played by Amy Braun, became a human blueberry when she chomped on the gum. Incidentally, thi s was another prop that was plump and perfect. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was as close to perfect as a Wilkes play has come in a long time. It smelled sweet success as it graced the stage at the CPA this past weekend. oming soon ...

Nolfe Special to the Beacon The Wilkes University Programming Board in conjuction with Student Government will present the Psychedelic Furs in concert 8 p.m. Saturday, April 21 in the Marts Center. The Programming Board received confirmation on the show on Monday. This follows several months of negotiations to bring a band or major comedy act to Wilkes. The Programming Board initially made offers to comedian Dennis Miller from Saturday Night Live and the rock group, The Alarm . Neither offer was accepted due to scheduling conflicts with the artists. Representatives from Student Government and the Programming Board were very pleased with the announcement of the Psychedelic Furs concert. Student Government members reacted favorably to the prospect of a Pyschedelic Furs concert at a recent meeting when the negotiations had just begun. Tickets are tentaiively priced at $8 for Wilkes students with a valid ID and $12 for the community. Tickets wil go on sale in mid-March. The opening act will be announced later. The Furs first made their appearance on the rock scene in the late 1970s in their natiye country, England. Members of the band include Richard Butler, Tim Butlerd, Roger Morris, Duncan Kilburn, John Ashton and Vince Ely. The band started gaining recognition in England in 1977 and 1978. In 1979, the Furs signed with a major recording label, CBS. Their first album, The Psychedelic Furs (1980) did reasonably well in England, but failed to catch on in the United States, according to the Encyclopedia of Pop, Rock and Soul. Their next album, Talk. Talk, Talk (CBS, 1981) featured the British hit single "Pretty in Pink." This song later acted as a turning point in the careers of the Furs when it served as the basis for a John Hughes movie of the same title starring Molly Ringwald. Band members re-recorded the song for release as a single in the US to coincide with the film's opening in February of 1986. The single made the Billboard top 40 and the soundtrack album on A&M went platinum. The Furs then released their fifth LP, Midnight to Midnight, (Columbia, 1986) and it became their biggest -selling and highest-charting disc with the hit single, 6 The Furs have covered a lot of musical long career. Their style has varied from .b dance-club hits to poppy love songs.

But ~ the guard towers, barbed wire and reconstructed wooden barracks of the l)_achau Concentration Camp came into our view. another part of us was suffering. A death camp - even its remnants - pains the heart. Because we didn't understand the bus schedule, Paul Ellis, John McLaughlin and I walked the three miles from the train stop to the camp to meet the rest of the group. Although we laughed about friendly chickens and lost Californian we encountered, it was impossible to induce a happy mood. That's a tough task when you're about to visit a place that shakes your faith in humankind. "The long walk was kind of symbolic," Ellis said. "It gave us a vague idea of how the prisoners might have felt on their journey there. The entire experience hit harder because we walked." As we entered the camp, the silence was extremely noticeable. It was a deep, stinging quiet that enveloped and unnerved. In our minds, we were not alone. The spirit of the prisoners was everywhere. "The place felt haunted," said Tom Nelson. "As for the lack of talking, some things are better left unsaid." The others had just exited a film that depicted the horrors of the camp's functional days. They were clearly disturbed. "It was really visual," said Adam Tillman. "It showed the lack of care the prisoners received. It was a sick experience." Our trio had been looking at the multitude of pictures showing the history of the camp. It wasn't pleasant. Some members of the group had never seen such graphic accounts of the Nazis' brutality. photo by Jim Clark Picasso's memorial with barracks in background The barren courtyard housed the foundations of the original prisoners' quarters, burned to the ground upon liberation because of a typhus epidemic. Leafless trees added a fitting aura to the rows of cement. We stood for a moment and took in the grotesque suroundings. The look of the camp left a distinct impression on Shelly Gardner. "The desolation was so apparent," she said. "It gave no hope. It was perfect for what they had in mind." It was so cold. "The weather reflected on the entire mood," said Russ Bird. "It helped you get the feeling of destruction, of how wrong and off-base everything was." McLaughlin couldn't help but reflect on the hardships of Dachau's victims. "We were standing there with jackets, boots, hats and long johns and were frozen to the bone.

"How The German Press could they be so misled?" The ovens used as incinerators, still caked with ashes, were hard to look at. Yet we stared intently for minutes. Then feelings of anger surfaced. "I was appalled and shocked," McLaughlin said. "The crimes were horrific. The prisoners had to battle themselves, the elements and the people who put them there. No one should be looked up to as much as someone who walked out of there alive." Maybe the most heinous act was the Germans' deception. The camp is set in the middle of surburbia, a gathering place for artists. The iron gate of the entrance that greeted the prisoners contained a slogan designed to comfort the incoming victims. Arbeit Macht Frei Work will make you free "There is one road to freedom," the Nazis told their captives. "Its milestones are: obedience, diligence, honesty, order, cleanliness, temperance, truth, sacrifice and love of one's country." The Nazis were so cold. They promised eventual freedom to the prisoners. In actuality, the innocent were sent there to die. 'The desolation was so apparent. d was awar " Nicky II scorer in ~ .

Oklahoma, however, beat Kansas on Tuesday and UNLV lost to the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (how's that Dave?) So what happens next week? Does Oklahoma become number one?

The process comes naturally to him. Maybe that's why he's been regarded as one of the best in the business by his sportswriting peers over the last 14 years. He's worked his way through the ranks and has become a member of the Philadelphia Daily News' prototype sports department. That's quite a jump from being sports editor of The Beacon in the mid-1970s. "I thought about a career in sportswriting even at that point," said Domowitch, who graduated from Wilkes in 1976. "I was a little nervous because I was coming from a small school." His fear was unfounded, though. Domowitch's talent was enough to carry him to high professional peaks. But success was not something that fell right into his lap. He paid his dues. The starting point? Midland, Texas. "I was looking for a job and I answered an ad that called for a sports reporter with very little experience," Domowitch said. "The Midland Reporter-Telegram wasn't a big, glamorous newspaper, but it was a start. I got a chance to do many things right from the beginning." The decision to move across the country to Texas was an agonizing one for the Kingston, Penna. native. "I thought about it for a while, but I actually had no choice," he said. "I sent out 100 resume's and 99 were rejected. That's true." His gamble paid off. After 20 months, Domowitch accepted a job with the Fort Worth Star Telegram, where he received his first taste of covering professional sports. For three years, he was the beat writer for the Texas Rangers. "That was a great experience," he said. "I really enjoyed it. But the baseball beat is a tough one and the Rangers weren't such a great team." In April, I 982 Domowitch got his big break. He landed a job with the Daily News, a paper which is generally felt to have one of the three top sports sections in the nation. Only six years after graduation from Wilkes, Domowitch had made it big. "I was very fortunate," he said. "Some writers wait all their lives to get a chance to write for a major newspaper. I was very happy." After a stint as a boxing writer, Domowitch was assigned to cover the Philadelphia Stars of the newly-formed United States Football League. "That was really interesting," he said. "I was new, the team was new and the league was new. It needed all the publicity it could get, which made my job a lot easier. I also made many connections." His abilities made a promotion almost inevitable. He was given perhaps the city's highest sports assignment - covering the Philadelphia Eagles. After three seasons with the Birds, he was named the paper's special sports projects writer. A piece he published in that ~apacity vaulted Domowitch to the top of the sports journalism world. A two-part story on former Eagle Kevin Allen "Yas nominated for the P ulitzer Prize in 1987 and appeared in the 1988 edition of Best Sports Stories, an annual collection of the top 32 sports stories from across the country. Allen, a number-one draft choice in 1986 and potential superstar tackle, was arrested and convicted of rape. · He is currently serving a sentence in a New Jersey prison. The story had a huge effect on Domowitch. "That was probably one of my best pieces, but it's also a shame," he said. "Allen had the whole world in his hands and he blew it. I saw him at the pinnacle and then he just collapsed." Domowitch, 36, has done nothing of the sort. His work has also been displayed in The Sporting News, Sport, Philly Sport and Sports Illustrated. Domowitch returned to his alma mater last April last spring to speak at a high school editors conference. He got his first look at his old newspaper. "I was favorably impressed with The Beacon," he said. "The quality of writing was excellent. The sports section had scores from the previous night. "I love what I'm doing," he said. "It's an unbelievable career." And a· great one for a former Beacon sports editor.

But it was the perfect shot that was his signature. "I used to the time as a high school junior," Argentati said. "It was atxu knew I could shoot."

It was a bas set his sights on the Easterns photo by Dom• Yedlock But it was at the New York Athletic Club where Mendoza first began to fine-tune his wrestling skills. Mendoza, a native of southern New Jersey, moved to New York City at the age of ten. He attended John Adams High School in Queens and took part in the school's wrestling program. But in the Big Apple, basketball, not wrestling, is the sport. The quality of wrestling, to say the least, left a lot to be desired. "New York City doesn't have a lot of wrestling," Reese said. "The competition isn't really that good, so Ray had to really work by himself to develop." Enter the New York Athletic Club. "In my senior year in high school, I met some people at NYAC," Mendoza said. "It's the second · best freestyle club in the country. I began to work out there and learn the freestyle methods." Mendoza came across two former Syracuse wrestlers this summer at NY AC, John Dougherty and Wayne Catan. Both have been very influential in Mendoza's maturing process. Mendoza has taken the experience he's gained from freestyle and has brought it to the Marts Center this season. His play has been getting rave reviews thus far. "It is obvious that Ray has experience wrestling in freestyle because he is so good on_his feet," Reese said. "But it's obvious that he worked really hard on the mat this summer because he has improved so much at it. "Ray has also improved his intensity this year, and that's been his biggest asset. Sometimes he didn't have the great intensity last season." One thing Mendoza does have, and has had since his arrival on the Wilkes campus, is a body of a Greek god. One look at Mendoza and the first thing that comes to mind is 'he can't be only 190 pounds.' Upon graduation, Mendoza could easily find employment with a muscle magazine or as the strong man in .a circus. "Ray has great upper-body strength, and h!!'s very strong," said Reese. "He uses that strength . to his advantage." Staying at 190 pounds hasn't always been easy, though. "This summer I lifted a lot and was up to 220 pounds," said Mendoza. "I had to spend a lot of time running in a rubber suit and I've had to miss a few meals along the way to get back down to 190." But Mendoza is no stranger to hard work. He runs approximately 12 miles a week to go along with endless pushups and sandbag workouts. He will be mean as can be to get a win on the mat, which is an ironic twist of his personality. "Ray is quiet and easygoing. He doesn't say much at all," Reese said. "But he works real hard at wrestling, and all the guys look up to him even though he's only a sophomore." 'Tm easygoing when I walk around campus because I'm not competing against anyone," Mendoza said. "When I step on the mat, it's a matter of winning and losing. I wasn't brought up to lose. All I think about out there is winning." And the target that instanlly comes to mind is Lehigh's Matt Rupple, the number-one ranked 190-pounder in the nation. He is Mendoza's Vision Quest. "He's the only guy who has continually beaten me," Mendoza said. "Other guys have beaten me, but I've also beaten them. Rupple has beaten me four times. I want him bad." Mendoza also wants to win the Easterns and become an All-American before his career at Wilkes comes to a climax. Rupple may be the only one who stands in his way. Take heart, Ray.

Everyone seems to be is pleased with his promotion in the football profession. "I think all assistant football coaches wanL to be head coach one day. I had a job offer that I turned down and I pursued one that didn't work out," he said. "Wilkes is a job that appeals to me. Bernie Vinovrski (Wilkes' dean of admissions) is a good friend of mine, and he suggested I consider the job. I did and I'm here." But Colonels football isn't without its problems. For instance, the Ralston Field complex is a sight for sore eyes. "A renovation project must be undertaken there, something involving a seven to ten-year time period," Demelfi suggested. "They may even have to build a new stadium. But it's really not that bad. It's amazing what a little bit of paint can do. "Every coach would love have a Taj Mahal to ·work in, but every football field is 53 and a half yards wide and 100 yards long." The most pressing need is to instill a winning complex in the players, however. Demelfi knows that the losing of the last two seasons hasn't diminished their competitive fire. "They're extremely disappointed," he said. "There were many opportunities to win games last year, but the fundamentals were lacking. The little things do it in life." The players are sensing that. "He wants us to work hard," said sophomore Tom Mooney. "We have to train in the offseason to accomplish anything. He's giving everyone a fair shake." Demclfi's gameplan strategy will focus on a powerful running game, strong defense and a dependable kicking game. "Those are the fundamentals of football," he said. "You can't win by trying to score 40 points a game. We'll pass by sprinting and rolling out, but we're going to keep it on the 'ground." Is a quick improvement possible? "I'd like to tum this around," Dcmelfi said. "Most coaches have a big ego, but I know I can't do this myself. I've assembled a great coaching staff, and I need the commitment from the players. "Winning evolves. If you stay with a foundation and pay attention to the Iiule things, winning will take care of itself." But Demelfi, just like Unsworth before him, will ultimately be measured by what he docs on the field . "Wanting to run the ball down people's throats is symbolic of the kind of guy he is," said sophomore Aubin Sevrin. "But I won't really know what type of coach he's going to be until that first week of practice. I want to see how he conducts himself and what he wears. Things like that mean a lot to me." Remember, those are the liule things. They also mean a lot to Demelfi. �The Razor's Edge The Locker Room (cont'd) Paul Domowitch Dave Argentati Trivia '90 March 1, 1990 Wilkes University Wilkes-Barre, PA Next Week: 1990 EIWA Should she stay_ or gQ.2_ Kovaleski pond~rs a bright tutu by Ray Ott Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE- Year after year, numbers of talented college athletes are faced with the dilemma of whether to stay in school and garner a valuable education, or forego it for the lures of professional sports. The question rages - Should I stay or should I go? For Nicole Kovaleski, that thought has been dominating her brain waves for the last two ·seasons. The only difference is Kovaleski is contemplating leaving Wilkes for academic reasons rather than big bucks. Last year, aftor averaging 13 points and nine rebounds a game and leading the Lady Colonels to a playoff berth, Kovaleski considered leaving Wilkes for Temple University. Her brain said.go. Her heart said stay and play. So sRc followed her emotions and played another year. And what a year it was. Kovaleski scored 426 points, good for a 17 .1 average, while shooting a sizzling 56 percent from the field. She also gathered a team-leading 239 rebounds, a 9.5 clip per game. Membership on the ECAC Honor Roll and MAC player-of-the-week were two honors bestowed upon her several times in the past campaign. But Kovaleski was much more than stats. "Nicole was a very consistent player for us," said head coach Jodi Kest. "Whenever we needed to get a big basket, Nicole was the person we would go to." Kovaleski was also the "go to" person while she was staring for Seton Catholic High School in the Wyoming Valley Conference. While there, Kovaleski dumped in 1,502 points, good for fourth on the school's all-time list. This was all the evidence Kest needed to convince her that Kovaleski would be a standout. "Nicole was one of the first kids I recruited here at Wilkes," Kest said. "I knew she was one of the top players in the league that year, so I tried extra hard to get her. "She is the type of player you hope to build on, sort of a centerpiece. She has definitely helped put the program where it is today. She really paid off." As for Kest's opinion of Kovaleski the person, halos are required. "As good as a player that Nicole is, she is a better person," Kest said. "I wish I could have twelve Nicoles." The one will be dearly missed both on and off the court. If, that is, she decides to go. "I still haven't made up my mind what I'm going to do yet," said Kovaleski. ''I'm going to visit Northeastern University in March. But I also might stay and play another year." If she does, she would surely break the 1,000 point plateau. Kovaleski finished this season 27 points shy of the magical mark. She w uld have undoubtedly eclipsed it already if an ankle injury hadn't sidelined her for seven games in her freshman year. But that was three years ago. Decisions were [ew and far between. Now, the sound inside her head won't leave her alone. Should I stay or should I go? Nicole Kovaleski is thinking of leaving the Lady Colonek Disciplined Demelfi takes ch Joe Demelfi Like many explorers before him, Joe Demelfi is entering uncharted ground. The new Wilkes football head coach is undertaking his first adventure in that position. His gameplan takes the place of a map and a whistle is more essential than a compass. It would be inappropriate to call Wilkes football a wasteland, but the initial stages of Demelfi's journey could be rough sledding. Don't worry, though. Like many explorers before him, Demelfi is unafraid. "I took the Wilkes job because I thought all the ingredients are here to produce a winner," said the 46-year-old former assistant at Bloomsburg University. "Besides the talent we have, Wilkes has an excellent academic reputation. We can attract the type of student-athlete that should be here." In the wake of the Bill Unsworth era that soured badly over the last two seasons, Dcmelfi has many pieces to pick up. The first key will be to promote an aura of order. It will start at the top. "If you cannot conduct yourself, whether you're a player or a coach, in a manner that promotes winning and discipline, forget it," Demelfi said. "This is not a · dictatorship and I'm not an unreasonable man, but certain things must be adhered to." Topping Demelfi's list is an avoidance alcohol. "I have a tough time tolerating I "That also includes steroids. People always looking for the easy way out.

In addition, he served as advisor of The Beacon. ''I'm delighted we were able to persuade Tom Moran to come home to Wilkes and allow our communication students to benefit from his career as a journalist," said university president Christopher Breiseth. At Wilkes, Moran will teach classes in public relations and print media. Other full-time journalism professors in the department include Times leader columnist Tom Bigler and Mike · Incitti. Although he's looking forward to his latest challenge, Moran said he's leaving behind "13 good years." "It was a wonderful experience," Moran said of his years at LCCC. "I met some fine people. What happened at the college wasn't t'.1e work of one person, but a team." Under Moran's leadership, the local community college has grown to an e nrollment of more than 6,200 full- and part-time students.

Each member of the Chamber holds a "Visitation Day" in order to showcase its programs and facilities. During the luncheon at the Arnaud C. Marts Center, Wilkes University demonstrated its wide range of community programs. Speaking of Wilkes' many community activities, Dr. George Waldner, Vice President for Academic Affairs, outlined the greatest areas of outreach. Waldner overviewed how the School of Business and Public Policy, the School of Engineering, and the Continuing Education Office expanded their "services to Wilkes-Barre" as thei.r Student Government Report Winter Weekend was the nain topic at this week's meeting.

Both are remaining in Europe, and will not be touring America soon. Other bands being considered are the Psychadelic Furs and Bad English. The Leadership Luncheon has been pushed back to 3/6/90. "capabilities grew." In his remarks, Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of the School of Engineering, expanded on the school's ten-year community involvement. Since 1979, Wilkes has been "committed to the specific needs of industry with projects that have impacted the area," Nejib said. Wilkes' 125 projects have totaled $50 million. Nejib stressed the need f6r "open interaction" and the uselessness of "blackboard engineers." In one of its projects, the School of Engineering and Physical Science has allowed Diversified Records Services to expand its market by incorporating satellites and fibertonic technology in its transportation of records.

Specifically, when asked what future questions the Roving Reporter should be asking, some of you responded with apartheid, the possibility of a Russian multi-party system, the Berlin Wall, and environmental concerns. streets in Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday. They were elated that after over 27 years of incarceration, Nelson Mandela had emerged from his cell to rejoin his people, still calling for the liberation of his people from the steps of City Hall. He met his former captors face to face, praising them for the reforms they made, but stressing that his release is just the beginning. OPINION by Tracy Youells Sadly, when sharing this momentous news with friends or acquaintances here at Wilkes, there were actual! y people who don't know who Nelson Mandela is and what he stands for, let alone that he was freed after 27 years of political imprisonment. Even worse, when there is evidence that people know and care about civil rights, there is no excuse for that kind of ignorance. - I was thrilled after reading their answers. These students shattered my preconception that all college (university) students are apathetic to the world and that campuses are "hotbeds of social rest." Apparently we do have some inkling as to the condition of the earth, and compassion for the creatures that inhabit it. However, I'm still puzzled over one thing. If students' consciences are convicted enough that they allow their views and opinions to be printed for others to read, why aren't these convictions audibly or visibly acted upon? I can't help but think of the people celebrating and dancing in the Do you really want to know what you can do to help end the destruction of the environment or apartheid or the imprisonment of people who stand up for the oppressed? You can start by taking the $ 10.00 that you would normally spend on a case of beer and join the Better World Society or Amnesty Al'ARTheid s fe International. More importantly, you can just stop the ignorance and apathy that only contributes to social and environmental problems by using your mouth, your convictions, and your knowledge to enlighten those who don't know and spark compas~on in the hearts of those who never cared. net B The Beacon Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 VOL.

Pete is ber of the Wilkes aith Fellowship and ely altruistic and s underprivileged Wilkes-Barre Area. is of tremendous charydoes not deserve the · 'trn that the editor has perhaps overwhelming task of becoming the Wilkes Mascot, Colonel. This was a challenge that few would have undertaken, and even less would have self attenuated. Pete has attended most games and has tried to be the best mascot that he can. C~eerleading and arousing the public are perhaps the most demanding of all skills known. Pete should not be criticized as a human being simply because he doesn not rate an "A" as a cheerleader. The editor without saying so has insidiously done this. This is my motive for writing this reprieve for a man of integrity, a person undeserving of such scrutiny simply because he does not measure up to the personal expectations of two over zealous Beacon staff writers. As to excessive length of this letter to the editer I give no apology because the February 8 edition of the Beacon devoted 3/4 of a page to the desecration of Pete Guinosso. Subsequently, I question why you wrote two articles and not just one on the topic. The editorial page and Jim Clark's "Locker Room" were both devoted to the same topic; this is redundant, boring and dull. Perhaps this is why the Beacons' Readership seems to be at an all time low. Students simply want and deserve more from the school paper than that of a scandal sheet whose goal seems to be nothing more than to criticize sincere studnets (such as Colonel Pete Guinosso). A Challenge I offer to the insulters of Colonel Pete Guinosso. At a designated game attempt to be the volunteer colonel; in the following issue of the Beacon write honestly about your personal experiences and describe how easy it was for you to rival up a crowd. Perhaps then you might gain more credibility to criticize the Colonel Pete. One should not intimate that an activity is easy, until one has mastered it Himself. Sincerely, Jeffrey A. Stein Off the doorstep; into the real world 0 ver the past few weeks my mailbox at home has been stuffed with envelopes that bear the stoic looking "WILKES" above the return address. As I open this precious piece of postage, I bristle with excitement. "What has my school sent me today?" I ask myself. Upon opening the letter I find that, once again, they are sending me stuff that says they want me out-of here already. The seniors out there know what I'm talking about. In the mail we have received our cap and gown orders, notices about our upcoming senior meeting to be _held on March 22, and an invitation to the upcoming etiquette dinners at the president's house. This is enough to make a grown senior cry. Most of us who have spent our last four years here are probably going to miss this place. But we must look ahead. We stand on the doorstep of the real world and, baby, there's no turning back. For many of us it's off to graduate school and for the rest of us, it's off to seek our fortunes - hopefully - in our chosen fields. Don't be down, fellow seniors. As much as you claim you will miss this place, you'll be back. Don't believe me? How many times have you seen friends that have graduated that you thought you would never see again? How many of those friends said they would never come back, but did? S o, what it all comes down to is the fact that we have spent so much time here, we consider it a home. And, as we determined when we first came here, it's difficult to leave home. It's not just the place we call home. It's the people that we have come to know and love. It's the guy you met at freshman orientation who is now your best friend or the girl you studied in the library who just met Mom and Dad for the first - but not the last - time . It's the professor who taught you how to fly so soon after learning to run. It's the cafeteria guy who made sure he told you the latest joke everyday you came to eat lunch. It's not just the chess board, but all of its pieces that really make Wilkes (College or University, whichever you chose for your diploma) what it is. And as we step off the doorstep into the real world, we begin to realize that we really are ready. We always have been. We just needed a place like this to show us. · tudent voicing his 'objective opinion' uve a voice on campus Beacon. We all have our should be able to exlreely. The Beacon a means to personally , and yes, Pete Guipersonally attacked. can you have school don't have a crowd The What he can do is bring all the spirit together and lead everyone in a cheer. To blame Pete for any lack of ;;pirit is really ignorant. There is a tremendous amount of spirit at this school, I've seen it throughout my three years here. The last King's basketball game here at home is an example, the gym was packed with rowdy people from Wilkes, that's right editor, from Wilkes. You can't expect a huge turnout like that at all the sporting events. Pete is giving up his time to represent our school while certain people within the Be~con staff are giving up thier time to insult people. This is not a personal attack on Adam Tillman, but anyone can run and slide on the floor and as Jim Clark said, "generally make a fool of himself." Making a fool out of ones' self is not the way to raise school spirit. Jim Clark said if Tillman wants to make a fool out of himself to let him, butthinkabout thisJim, if the Colonel shapes a school's identity and he makes a fool out of himself then isn't he making a fool out of the school? Express your opinions gentlemen but be objective about it like a journalist should. As I siad, Pete is giving up his time to represent this school. There sure isn't any spirit being raised by the Beacon. All I see being raised is a personal attack upon a Wilkes student, who is giving up alot of his time for the school, by two of the Beacon's staff members.

Willy Wonka Wanders at Wilk Wonka premiere is coming soon by Paul Ellis Special to the Beacon Wilkes University and Cuc-nCurtain take to the stage with a production· of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which runs from February 21 to February 24 at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. • Beginning on February 21, there will be a total of five productions. The first four shows, produced exclusively for area graqc school students, arc sold out. The general public is welcome to attend the production on February 24, at 7 p.m. The cast of over 30 includes such vctcrnn Wilkes actors as Rob Johansen, Maureen O'Hara, and Christopher Collins, tc name a few. Included in the cast are some members from King' s College and Penn State. The story revolves around a tour given by the fictional candy factory owner, Willy Wonka. Five lucky children and their parents follow the zany Wonka through his factory of facinating inventions. Each new room is riddled with sweet-tooth delights, and dazzling candy-making machinery. However, during the course of the tour, many members of the group do not abide by Mr. Wonka' s preset rules and regulations. This, in tum, causes some of the guests to be involuntarily dismissed. The visitors, however, arc unaware of the great prize that awaits them if they keep their hands away from Mr . Wonka's inventions. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is the directing debut of Gail P. Stone, who is a sophomore theatre major at Wilkes. Cuc-n-Curtain strongly suggcsL~ that reservations be made in advance by calling the Center for the Performing Arts, at 829-9144. Tickets arc free to both Wilkes and King's students. General admission is S 1.00. Box office hours are from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday .

I mean, Gail was doing a superb job directing, Jamie Kurtz was hammering away at the set he designed, while Kathy Murgas had everyone dancing with her music; Everything was going fine, except for the feet. The foot-less Uompah-Loompas dance, . sing, and teach a lesson to the children who Yisit Wonka's Factory photo by Michele Broton Everywhere you turned, there were feet, most of which were in some sort of trouble. Becky's feet were constantly bruised from bumping into things while working on the set. Tommy's foot was nearly broken falling down a flight of stairs. The aiding foot, namely a cane, was stolen from the theatre, leaving the poor narrator, Chris Collins, cane-less. And then there were the Oompah-Loompas. Nine of them, all needing feet. Those of us working costumes were having nightmares of little people marching around yelling, "We want feet! We want feet!" Face it; the bruises can heal, the foot wasn't broken, we can find another cane, but where were we going to find nine pair of feet? It certainly wasn't as though we could go out to the local supermarket and say "Oh, I'd like a half gallon of milk and nine pair of Oompah-Loompa feet, please." But like I said, beyond the feet, things were going very well. Gail P. Stone, directing for the first time, was doing a most commendable job. She's managed to somehow take approximately 30 people and turn them into a cohesive unit: a difficult task for even the most experienced of directors. Jamie Kurtz, the technical director, has been superb. Although a freshman, Kurtz has designed both the set and the lighting plot, in addition to doing a majority of the physical building of the set. There was a minor incident with the glass elevator that broke the trcndoftroublesomefcet. Unfortunately, the pain merely reoriented itself on a different, better-padded portion of the anatomy. The most extraordinary thing about this production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is that everything has been done by students. The play is entirely directed, produced, and managed by students.

Ever been threatened in a restaurant because you're an American? Would being ignored as you ordered in perfect German in one of the few bars you were allowed into ruffle your feathers? Welcome to Silvester. It was scary. It was unlike anything we've seen before. We loved it. "It was," said John McLaughlin, "the str(_J.ngest New Year's Eve ever. We were in Europe and we wanted to make it as memorable as possible. It was, but not necessarily for all the right reasons." The evening started innocently enough. Our group returned from Salzburg, Austria about 8 p.m. and hit the town in search of an evening to talk about for years. What we found was a town nearly totally closed to us. Paul Ellis, McLaughlin, Vaughn Shinkus, Adam Tillman and I couldn't get in anywhere because we lacked reservations. We even tried the famous Hofbrau Haus, Munich's top tourist-trap. No dice. What had seemed like a zoo on previous nights was now entered by upper-class Germans in getups appropriate for a royal wedding. These yuppies wouldn't have been caught dead in this dive on any other night. · Hunger was setting in. We spotted a gyro bar on a nearby comer and decided to give it a shot. (There's no drinking age in Europe.) McLaughlin entered first and was immediately grabbed by a short, greasy patron in an ugly orange jacket. "Not family!" he shouted indignantly. It was starting already. Basically, we weren't German and they didn't want us in there. We kept our heads down and moved quickly toward the back. As we ordered, I noticed a group of three Germans scowling and pointing at us. The largest one in the middle wasn't being very subtle. "No Deutsch! Yankee go home!'' I had never heard anyone say a word with such malice and disgust as his "Yankee." But he was drunk. That took some of the sting away. He was also very big, so we were worried. Ellis - who made the largest effort to speak German throughout the trip - sat down next to a man of about 70 and began a heart to heart. Sensing what was happening, Ellis asked the man who we found out was the owner - what was happening. He laughed and said, "Don't worry. You are my friend." The big guy sure wasn't our buddy. He came over to the bathroom and, along the way, shoved Tillman into the wall. "The aggression was overflowing," said McLaughlin. "The first few nights in Munich were like treading water in a shark tank." Why? Germans are naturally aggressive, and some American Gis stationed in Bavaria don't portray the greatest image of their country's natives. Ruth Soderberg, whose father is a retired army master sergeant, isn't surprised. "They get what they deserve," she said. "Some go over to carouse and drink and make a bad name for themselves." 'It was Germans crazy, because the are usually so zone, but it was fun. Everyone was having a good · Russ Bird agreed. "It was crazy, because the are usually so self-controlled," he said.

That's not the case. It's not their homeland." Tom Nelson saw a reason for the tension. "They probably mistook you for Gls or their dependents," he said. "If it was going to happen at anytime, New Year's Eve would be it." But we left the gyro bar in one piece. Maybe we should have risked a tussle with the big Hans Grubers. It got worse outside when the clock hit midnight. Glass flew everywhere and covered the streets. Zonked teenagers threw fireworks from rooftops and laughed as we tried to take cover. It was chaotic. Todd Werner found the wild celebration unappealing. "They have no common sense when it comes to the safety of other human beings," he said. "Four of us were standing in Marienplatz (the town's main square) and I saw a guy twirling a Luger on his finger. I almost died." Shinkus was a little less shaken. "It was like a war FREL1 □ phall Some Americans wear out their European w Surviving Valentines's Day by Michele Broton • Beacon Feature Editor Well, I survived it for another year. I followed all the advice and I survived it. I kept my chin up, a stiff upper lip, my nose to the grindstone, my shoulder to the wheel, and my ear to the ground (gee, I bet you didn't know I was a contortionist, as well as a crackerjack writer). What did I survive, you wish to know? Why, Valentine's Day of course, that infamous day that is Heaven for those involved, and Hell for those who aren't. Let's face it, folks. Unless you are madly in love, like, or lust with someone, Valentine's Day is second only to Christmas for depressing people. Take me for example. One of my best friends just broke up with his fiancee. Another friend is in the midst of a romantic battle to rival World War I and World War II. Then, as if that isn't enough, my gerbil, Shakespeare, went I and died on me on Tuesday. Admittedly, it may sound silly. But when you are upset, the best person to confide those deep, secret feelings to is a pet. Preferably a pet that can't talk back (can you imagine telling a parrot how much you hate so-and-so, and then having the bird repeat it when so-and-so comes over?). Like I said, things were looking pretty bad when Valentine's Day began. In fact, I even considered covering up my head and pretending I never woke up (this a normal morning routine for me, but at least this time, I had legitimate excuse). Luckily for me, I did get up. Because, out of the blue a third friend made the world A-OK. For no other reason th~n that he cares, my friend sent me a carnation. Nothing big, nothing fancy, just a simple "I care." Suddenly, the whole day looked a lot brighter. And do you want to know the best thing of all? I have a whole 364 days until I have to face this again. Now that's something to celebrate.

After collecting hundreds of bone fragments, some barely larger than small rocks or pebbles, these scientists make broad, sweeping assenjons about how this, that, or the other pan of human anatomy looked one, two, or three million years ago. Understandably, considering the amount of evidence that they have to work with, anthropologists occasionally make mistakes. In the case of Neanderthal man, they made a doozy. For, unlike the common representation, Neanderthal man was not a beetlebrowed. hunch-backed, knuckle-dragging, muscle-bound savage at all. In fact, if recent findings prove correct, he more closely resembles a broad-foreheaded, long-armed, buff mental midget like those found in todays weight rooms.

He was able to pull his hammer, his weapon out when he needed it. Tyson hits the canvas in Tokyo Courtesy The Times Leader But Douglas survived and won the fight because he had consistently jabbed the stationary Tyson. The bobber and weaver of the past turned into an indifferent, flat-footed target. Tyson fought arrogantly. He believed Douglas could be defeated with a less than exemplary effort. He was dead wrong. Douglas was out for blood, and he accomplished his task powerfully. The King was dead. , I couldn't believe it. At the Valentine's Day Dance at Genetti's on Saturday night, freshman Beth Rowland came up to me and said Tyson had been knocked out. I thought she was joking. Or drunk. I bet her a dinner that she was wrong, but a call to The Times Leader confirmed the fact. I couldn't wait to see the tape the following night. As the rounds wore on, Tyson's left eye closed and he looked so ordinary. This wasn't the machine I had seen take out Biggs, Holmes, Spinks and Williams with such precision and visciousness in Atlantic City and tell me afterward how easy it really was. But what was more disturbing than his physical shortcomings was the look on his face. Tyson was disinterested. And because of that, he was losing badly. His knockdown was unreal.

The win was significant because the Lady Colonels dressed only five players. Six · team members were serving a one-game disciplinary suspension. "The last time we played them, we lost by 20," said junior forward Nicole Kovaleski, who pumped in 18 points. "We thought we had a chance but we didn't know how much of a chance it would be." The four other players who did the iron-man imitation were Lorrie Petrulsky (17 points), Robin Klem (14), Donna Zurawski (11) and Colleen McGarry (4). Kovaleski needs just 27 points for 1,000, a feat she deserves to accomplish but might not. · "We have a chance to play in the ECAC playoffs," she said. "I really want to play but I don't know if we will. We have to vote on it today." Kovaleski will more than likely be transferring to Northeastern University in Boston to continue her academic studies at the end of the year. Ray Mendoza (right) takes charge photo by Donna Yedlock With the warm weather just around the corner, I have only one concern. Why doesn't Wilkes University have any full outdoor basketball courts? ########## By now, everyone is probably sick of hearing about the "Colonel" Pete Guinosso situation. So let's lay it to rest. Pete can't make students come to sporting events, and that, not his leading cheers, is the major problem here. So here is a challenge to the student body, student government, or whoever feels like taking it on. With all home sporting events for the winter season over, we will issue this challenge for the spring sports. Let's start with the baseball team's season opener on Sunday, March 18. The Colonels will take on Plymouth State. Let's make it a sellout, just like every major league team has on opening day. NAVY OFFICER You are Tomorrow. You are the Navy. ########## Finally, over break, everyone keep Schannauer's dog Marley in their prayers. Marley, the first dog ever to make The Razor's Edge, was injured when he was hit by a car this week. The little guy suffered a broken leg and is in a splint. Hopefully, with everyone's prayers, she will be running around the Wilkes campus soon. �February 15, 1990 The Razor's Edge The Locker Room Page 11 Page 10 Wilkes University Wilkes-Barre, PA Lady Colonels climb big mounta by Ron Rainey Beacon Sports Writer Lorrie Petrulsky had 17 points and 14 rebounds in win WILKES-BARRE -Words could not really descri be the Wilkes University Lady Colonels victory over Elizabethtown on Tuesday. Maybe Sophomore guard Donna Zurawski put it best when she said, "This is something I will remember for the rest of my life." Prior to the game, six Lady Colonels had been suspended for the last game of the year because of violations of team rules. This left just five players for Jodi Kest, with no substitutes available: These five, however, pu t on a career performance to win 66-60. The fabulous five were Zurawski, Nicole Kovaleski, Lorrie Petrulsky, Robin Klem and Colleen McGarry. "No words can express how proud I am of this group," Kest said. This praise was well-deserved as the Lady Colonels outplayed E-Town in all facets of the game. With the win, the Lady Colonels finished the year 15-10 and 5-5 in the MAC. Furthermore, the Colonels played spoiler as they knocked E-Town out of the playoffs. "It feels great that we not only won, but we shut them out of the playoffs," McGarry said. Kovaleski led the Lady Colonels with 18 points and eight rebounds, but this was a team effort. Petrulsky had 17 points ( 4 three-pointers) and 14 rebounds, Klem points, Zurawski tallied 11, and McG 12 rebounds along with some nifty p Did the Lady Colonels think they chance shorthanded? "We knew we play with them," said Petrulsky, slowed play down and worked as at Klem echoed these thoughts. "Ri the beginning we thought we could believed in ourselves." After the first half ended in a 32 • the Lady Colonels came out stro pushed the lead to as many as twel with about four minutes left. The rode this advantage to the end and ca with the six- point victory. Kest felt the year could not have any better. "It was a great way to the season. We didn't make postse but this is the kind of win that can c to next year." On top of all this, the Lady Colo away with their first victory in tw attempts against E-Town. So, Wilk out its season with a victory and c second straight winning campaign. And for those who attended, it game not soon to be forgotten. \ Tronkowski- rewarded by Tom McGuire Special to The Beacon WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes University soccer player Kevin Tronkowski has been named a first-team Scholar-Athlete Soccer All-American by Adidas and the Intercollegiate Soccer Association of America. The All-American squad is composed of players from over 600 Division I, II and III teams. Tronkowski was the only member of a Division III team to be selected to the first team. Tronkowski, a junior at Wilkes, was honored both for his academic and athletic talents. An electrical engineering major, Tronkowski is carrying a 3.76 grade point average and was recently named to the Wilkes Student-Athlete Honor Roll. A member of the engineering club on campus, Tronkowski is also a member of the Physics Honor Society (Sigma Pi Sigma) and has been on the Wilkes Dean's List. "I always hoped in the back of my mind that something like this could happen," Tronkowski said. "I didn't think I would be included with Division I teams, though." As a member of the Colonel soccer team, Tronkowski, a goalie, finished the 1989 Middle Atlantic Conference season with a 1.1 goals against average, one of the best marks in the MAC. Overall, he surrendered just 25 goals in over 1600 minutes of action. As a team, Wilkes fi nished 10-8- 1 and gained a berth in the ECAC playoffs. Among his ten wins were victories over national power Scranton University and Division II Bloomsburg. He posted five shutouts. Wilkes head coach Phil Wingert was thrilled about the honor for his star goalie. "This is a great honor for Kevin and Wilkes University," Wingert said. "Kevin has worked very hard in the classroom and the soccer field and it is good to see him be honored. He is the epitome of what a Division III student-athlete is all about." Among the other schools with athletes named to the first team are Yale, Seton Hall, Maryland, South Carolina, and South Alabama. The only other MAC player to be honored was Jay Varrato from Elizabethtown, who was named to the third team. Tronkowski, a graduate of Maine-Endwell High School in Endwell, New York, is the son of Bernie and Betty Tronkowski of Endicott, New York. This is the first time in the history of Wilkes soccer, dating back to 1949, that a Wilkes player has been honored as an Academic All-American. "I hope it inspires other athletes to study," Tronkowski said. "If it happened to me, it can happen for anyone. You just have to put your mind to it." enceme n w as g es' Uni, t Christop ultitude those wa of truste is an in ide of an Paul day 1 Let it fly! Dave Argentati takes a shot.

Security caution alerts Wilkes by Jeff LoBalbo Beacon Assistant News Editor WILKES--BARRE - A security caution issued by the King's College security department may cause both King's and Wilkes students alike to be more cautions about traveling through Public Square. According to James Glen, King's College security chief, five women from King's were walking on the square when a balloon containing seven pieces of paper dropped on them. The papers said that they were to be subjects in a psychology experiment for a at Penn State Wilkes-Barre. In this experiment, the women were requested to go to certain parts of the square. The women complied but became suspicious when asked to go behind a dumpster. The v. 1men broke off the experiment and reported it to security, who issued the CL 1tion. "We don't want to ')low the situation out of proportion, making people think we're dealin 6 with some madman," said Glen. "When we heard that it was a class pr ject, we had to check it out." It was found that no psychology project of this sort offered at Penn State Wilkes-Barre.

MAD RAMBLIN'S by Lee Scott Morrell These are all safe street crossing axioms that appear on signs or have been beaten into out heads since we were told to look both ways - left, right, then left again - before crossing the street. These ditties pass through my head as I trot with my traveling companion to class in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. I repeat them over and over as I wait for the light to change so that we might make our made dash across "Death Corner." Have you figured out which of the lovely street corners I am talking about. Both South Street and South River Street are extemely dangerous to cross. The light that directs crossing for South Street rarely turns green for the pedestrian. When it does, the cars that are waiting at that corner continue to tum because of the "right turn on red" law. Haven't the people of this area realized that the law stipulates they must FIRST allow us walking people first crack? Crossing South Franklin Street is even worse. The light NEVER seems to change to green. When it does, it lasts for a whole three-count. Strange as it may seem, I think the light waits until people are in the middle of the intersection than changes to red so that we have to scurry like rats. Ever notice how the wait is longer when it is snowing; and even This particular issue kept us in the office until 6:00 a.m. longer when it rains?

This spot ·, lS reserved for your Letters to the Editor or your "Sounding Board" pieces I • ast week "Colonel" Pete Guinosso challenged the editor of The Beacon by saying, "The funny thing is, I never hear the editor ask for a cheer or start one himself." On Tuesday evening of this past week the Lady Colonels faced the nationally ranked University of Scranton Lady Royals in the Marts Center. The game was poorly attended. Guess no one read Sports Information Director Tom McGuire's letter ("S.I.D. challengers student spirit," The Beacon Mailbox, 2-1-90) of last week. Colonel Pete was at the game in his Colonel-like garb and was supposed to lead the crowd in cheers. From the scorer's table we were able watch Colonel Pete use his megaphone for such things as a lean-to and a device with which he may pick-up an errant basketball. Oh yeah, he used it for an occasional cheer/grunt, as well. It was very sad to see this lethargic Colonel roam the gym without anything more th~n a cheer that can only be described as a guttural noise. What was most sad was when the Lady Colonels were called for consecutive technical fouls late in the first half. The cr9wd was as into the game as a crowd can be. This would have been the perfect time to get them into a cheer. As McGuire mentioned last week, that kind of crowd involvement can turn a game around. Colonel Pete failed to capitalize on a tailor-made cheer opportunity. · ive minutes into the second half, the Lady Royals were called for a technical foul and the opportunity again arose. This time it took crowd requests and, yes, a request from your ever loving editor, to get Colonel Pete to start a half hearted "Gimme a 'C'." Much to our chagrin, he actually looked upset and embarrassed. Sorry Colonel, didn't mean to make you - gasp -cheer. But that's your job, the one you chose to do. Yes Colonel Pete. You chose this lot in your collegiate life. We fully understand that the tire tracks of the "real Colonel" (Bob Wachowski) are very difficult to fit into. The legend of Colonel Bob is the stuff of which dreams are made. And we make allowances for those who at least try to make their own niche. Take for instance the inspired Coloneling of back-up brass Adam Tillman. · Saturday night Colonel Adam yelled his face purple, lost his voice and did knee slides across the gym floor. Granted he was·undisciplined as the mascot, but at least he got off his duff (or in some cases, got on it) and cheered. The folks in the Marts Center Saturday night knew there was a Colonel in their midst. Colonel Pete, the duties of the mascot are not complicated. It is understandable if you miss games because of class but it is both inexcusable and intolerable for you to come to a game not just basketball, you've been spotted by us in your lethargic mode at other sporting events - and not get the crowd into it. Yes, school spirit does start with the individual but sometimes it takes someone with a little extra chutzpah to get the ball rolling. Be that someone, Colonel.

Halsor was joined on the trip by Dr. Craig Chesner, Department Geology,and Geography, Eastern Illinois University. The trip, funded by a Wilkes University Faculty Development Grant, included the co\lection of volcanic rock samples near Lake Atitlan, Guatemala and at several active volcanoes in Guatemala and Costa Rica. Halsor and his companions also videotaped several explosive eruptions and then observed quieter activity up close. Following the trip nearly 200 pounds of rock samples are now being described and classified. The Earth and Environmental Science Department of the Wilkes University School of Science and Engineering will then prepare ultre-thin slices of the rocks for examination by a special microscope. A portion of each rock sample will also be prepared for outside geochemical analysis at · New Security Chief Gerald Cookus rutgers University. The observations by Halsor's team will be sent to SEAN (Scientific Event Alert Network), Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., for archiving and distribution by Michele Corbett of the information to oilier scienBeacon Staff Writer tists.

All you needed to bring with you was an open car and a sense of humor. \\'hat would you hear? The hilarious rock impressionist Kier. He started off the evening with a laid-back number. Thccorcofthcsong focused on Wilkes' transformation from college to university. A serious tone was absent from Kicr's voice as he poked fun at the name change. Kier created bursts of laughter in the audience for the first time by displaying this brand of sarcastic wit. From this part of his performance to the encl he had the crowd pleased with tons of puns. He also had the male population in the audience responding to him at various segments when he asked them to support him by saying, "You're doin' good dude!" Prince. He started llli pitched squeaky reminiscent of the sleaze" as he openedhis let out a "kiss," the is. The dude response was prevalent throughout the act. Kier would go to take a sip of water a nd an audience member would yell out, "You're thirsty d ude!" This would be followed by another person's wise crack, "Drink some more, dude!" However, humor was not the only aspect of his incredible talent. His voice was the dominating presence in the CPA Friday night as he mimicked a variety of rock and roll giants. He entranced the audience with his first impression. He sounded like James Taylor - word for word and lyric for lyric - as he gave his own rcndi lion of"Fire and Rain." The show began to take on a radiant glow as Kier went on to do a multitude of impressive imp(CSsions ranging from Billy Jocls' Piano Man to Phil Coll ins' In the ums guitar the with llhoto byMiche1ee,0 , 0 " Air Tonight.

The hardcore rock groups from the New Brunswick, NJ area provided the energy for WCLH's first concert on campus. Most of us don't realize just how much planning goes into a successful concert. Jeff Russo, a sophomore Psychology major, is one student who knows what it takes to bring hard rock groups to Wilkes. Five months ago when the Deans gave WCLH radio permission to put on a concert, student DJ Russo said he knew just the band. Russo contacted the drummer of Sticks and Stones, who in turn suggested another band that would play with them. By December 1, The Bouncing Souls and Sticks and Stones were committed to play at Wilkes Univcrstity and scheduled to perform in the new North Room in the Martz Center. The show was later changed to the CPA because the room was not completed. After coming back for the start of the spring semester, there were still some details to take care of. First Bob Hnatko, a Wilkes student, was asked to be the soundman and he agreed whole-heartedly. Next, there was the task of recruiting students for security. The WilkesBarre Police had to be contacted for two of their officers to work the show. Finally everything was set. The bands and their crews, Bruce Phair, employees of the CPA, security, soundmen, WCLH, and the audience all had to cooperate for the event to be successful. Security had it's hands full when a few inexperienced and rowdy people in the crowd got out of hand. The show was halted a bit prematurely because of these troublemakers. Considering the change in loaction, some rough moments, and the usual fcar'"that no one would attend - was it worth it and would they do it again? Russo said, "No, I would not do it again because the crowq didn't appreciate the effort put into it." He added, "As for it being worth it - the radio station made money, the bands made money and that was our main objective." As of right now, WCLH has no plans for any upcoming concerts. by Walt Lasecki Beacon Feature Writer This past Saturday, WCLH sponsored it's first "Hardcore" rock show. Sticks and Stones and The Bouncing Souls, two punk rock bands from New Brunswick, NJ, visited and held a concerrt at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. I was able to speak with Sticks and Stones before the show. Q: How did you get to this point in your musical careers? A: The band is three years old next month, and consists of three original members, along with a new drummer: Pete, lead guitar and vocals; Scott, keyboards; Larry, bass; and Chris on drums. This lineup has been playing together for about six months, and is probably the best Sticks and Stones yet. Q: What musical influences does Sticks and Stones represent? Pete: David Bowie, The Clasl' Scott: Anything, just music. Larry: The Damned, Queen, Zeppelin. Q: WheredoyouseeSticksand Stones going from here?

After finding a desirable location, the male reached under his jacket flap and extracted a hammer and chisel. His artractive mate looked on with anticipation as he cocked his arm and made contact with its facade. Shards of rock flew everywhere. The woman crouched to the ground and picked up a healthy piece flecked with red paint. She grinned contentedly. In the midnight mist, The Wall was under attack. Chunk by wonderful chunk, the ugly symbol of oppression was disintegrating. The thought was enough to revitalize the couple's eight tired witnesses. After nearly ten hours of train travel from Heidelberg, Tom Nelson had led the male contingent of our group the rr:ieager block's distance from our hotel to The Wall. (The girls chose to hit the s~ck. That was OK, this was macho stuff anyway.) Krcuzbcrg, 01,1r section of West Berlin, is near the border where the British and American sectors meet. An artsy enclave littered with leftist university students, it contained trailers full of squatters camped thirty yards from The Wall. As we followed its path toward Hitler's bunker now visible from ground level due to an opening in The Wall - the tattered curtains opened to allpw the occupants a quick view at another group of curious Wailers invading their turf. They closed as quickly they opened. We wandered into Potsdamer Platz, the hub of pre-war Berlin humbled by Allied bombs. The bunker, just a huge mound of dirt, came into view, as did two East German border guards, who were waving Trabants back and forth through the gate. Tom Nelson approached them with a friendly smile. "It is a good thing that east and west are together, ja ?" he asked. The closest guard, who was middle-aged and a bit heavyset with red hair, scowled. "No!" he grunted, shaking his head. "Not good." 1 wondered why he felt that way. Back at the hotel - which was staffed at night by Kreuzberg's radical youth, who aren't the biggest fans of hallway football Paul Ellis, Adam Tillman and I decided to head back to The Wall to explore. It's kind of tough to sleep when you have such a historical magnet visible in your window. We approached one of the huge holes - "It looked like woodpeckers had been poking at it," said Shelly Gardner - and decided to jump through. Remember, there was this machi smo factor. It's not everyday you set foot in the notorious "Death Strip," the area where fierce German Shepherds once roamed free and guards had dutifully hugged machine guns, willing to shoot. In these euphoric days, the murderous menace The Wall was for so many years js easily forgotten. "It was weird, because before we came, we watched the people celebrating on top of The Wall, so I wanted to do the same when I came," said John McLaughlin. "But when you sec it, it commands a sort of respect. It's not a playground." Nelson had been to Berlin twice before, but what he found on the thircf visit was unthinkable. "It was like night and day," he said. "The Wall had been so impregnable, and now sections are missing. It's in danger of falling down in some spots." The Death Strip was empty, and we proceeded to chip away at the white eastern side, which was drastically different from the west's grafitti-covered sections seen in pictures. "It is not good for you to be in there." The voice came through the hole. "My friend was caught in there, and he will be in prison for six months," continued the short, grizzled East Berliner, hair falling in his face. "l just visited him today." We jumped back to West Berlin's safe ground quickly to avoid a half-year in -a Communist jail and spare Nelson a cardiac arrest. use in ed fivt trans1 ad pri infect, , and b 'It commands a sort of respect. It's not a playgro You see, Tom, we kinda trespassed on the one place in East Germany you really shouldn't even think about looking at and... The thirty year-old hospital worker was eager to talk. "What is free?" he asked. "You are free? When I walk here in West Berlin, I see people have big cars, lots of money and can go to shows. But I see people without flats (apartments) and jobs. "I have my job and friends here (in East Berlin). I like to visit the West. I enjoy the open-door policy. I enjoy talking with you. But I don't want to live here. We have lived too long separately. Forty-five years is a long time. "The Wall is finished, but in the mind, it will last five generations more." The little philosopher turned out to be our savior because two East German guards poked their head through the hole. We made it by a minute. Two hours later, they had given us huge pieces of The Wall's top roller (pure asbestos, we found out later) and scrawled our hotel's address on their cigarette box. Dirk, a twenty-seven-year-old truck driver, and Stefan, an auto mechanic of twenty-six, were two happening Communist soldiers. "Come over and I'll buy you dinner some night," I told them, hoping they could but realizing I'd never see them again. Surprise. Two nights later, Ellis was shaving I wasn't around - when Tillman announced that a few guests were here to see him. Hi, Dirk. Hey, Stefan. Your first night ever in West Berlin? Let's hit Mc Donalds. "They didn't know how to eat a Big Mac," said a laughing Ellis. "They started to peel it layer by layer with one hand. I had to show them the proper way. "When we walked around the downtown business district, they were like two little children on Christmas morning. They kept asking where the 'sex street' was." Vaughn Shinkus was amazed by the general behavior of all guards. "Three months ago, they may have shot someone in the right situation," he said. "Now, they were just walking around in a nonchalant manner. It's different than the image I had." As different as West Berlin was from the previous environs of our trip. A cosmopolitan center of Europe, The Wall will remain its main attraction for at least a few more months. "It's like the grass you're not supposed to walk on, but everyone docs anyway," Tillman said. "It's now totally legal to chip away at this ·thing.'; • · · • · · Obtaining a piece for posterity task, but Ellis wondered about thew with a slab of concrete.

Continued from page 8 Hardcore had its biggest year in 1989. With its biggest year, it also had its worst. It rose to its peak of popularity and then it exploded in its face. It's a dead issue. Punk rock is still alive, but we'd (Sticks and Stones.) like lo be known as a band with our own sound and music. Being compared to other bands is great, but labels can kill a band quickly. As far as violence, people should come to the shows, be human, enjoy the music, but don't get out of control, act civilized. Pete: Hardcore did nothing but hassle us, we play our music, and look different to express ourselves. I get in more fights at shows than I do shopping. We have very bad feelings about hardcore. We were never a true hardcore band, and Calling all comedy fans .. . if you enjoy Saturday Night Live, HBO specials or the MTV Halfhour Comedy Hour, you will enjoy comedian Phil Nee.

THE LONG AND SHORT OF WRESTLING: Don't forget to pick up your tickets for the EIW A Tournament, which will be held in the Colonel Cathedral (Marts Center). You don't want to miss some great wrestling featuring our own Colonel grapplers. In real wrestling, Wrestlemania VI has been set in stone for April in the Sky Dome in Toronto. The main event will be announced Monday on USA Network's Prime Time Wrestling. I prerdict a rematch between Macho Man and the Hulkster. Also expect the final showdown between Jake the Snake and The Million Dollar Man and title bouts involving Intercontinental champ, The Ultimate Warrior, and tag team champs Haku and Andre the Giant. A REAL MAN'S SPORT: Proof of a divine being? · Wayne Gretzky, need I say more? The New York teams have proven that new coaches do not mean it's down the tubes time. The Rangers, behind newly acquired King Bernie Nicholls and rookie sensations Darren Turcotte and Mike Richter have climbed back into contention following a dismal month without sparkplug James Patrick. Pat LaFontaine has proven that the Islanders still have some of what it takes to play some serious hockey. OTHER RANDOM COMMENTS: My precious Cowboys really messed up this time. Not only did they waste the first round pick (supplemental) on another high priced rookie QB, they traded Herschel Walker for three players, two of which are now free agents. They were supposed to harvest a slew of picks yet they got nothing. Nice tum around. But I can say that, I'm a fan. Does anyone really feel that the Superbowl showcased the two best teams in the NFL? Neither do I. I honestly feel that the "real" Superbowl was two weeks earlier when the 49ers destroyed the Rams, or maybe a week earlier than that when the 49ers crushed the Vikings. The AFC does not currently have a team that can compete with the best of the NFC. THE QUESTIONS AND STUFF: We all know why you, the trivia loving public, read this column. It's to get to the questions and stuff, so here goes. This week, our first after a long sabbatical, we'll ask Superbowl questions. QUESTION # 1 - Why did the New Orleans waitress serve Broncos coach Dan Reeves his cereal on a tray? QUESTION #2 - How many Broncos show up for a flat tire?

Sports information dir~ctor Tom McGuire accentuated it by noting the lack of cheering at basketball games in a letter that appeared in last Thursday's Beacon. But after viewing every football game and ninety-five percent of the home basketball games and wrestling meets, I feel I am the most qualified to comment on it. This Colonel situation, tha t is. Those who feel the criticism being thrown Pete Gui nosso's way is unfair consistently say the campus was spoiled by Bob Wachowski's version. What? Spoiled by a little enthusiasm once in a while? Granted, we don't expect unicycle stunts, Pete, but we shouldn't be fo rced to watch yo u soc ialize with the cheerleaders and stay in the background. Ada m Till man knows better. T he backup mascot do nn ed the uni fo rm fo r las t Sa turday night's Wilkes-Lycoming basketball doubleheader. He slipped. He slid . He sang. He was goofy . lie was beautiful. Tillman's first adventure as the Colonel this year was at a rainy Saturday night 'football game in Reading. In the va n on the way down , his ne rvousness was evident. "I sometimes get jittery, I don't know why," he sa id . "That's j ust the way I am. " It didn't affect his performance, however. The monsoon didn't stop the junior from Dallas, Pa. from running around, dodging lightning and having a hell of a good time. "I think all g uys like to play in the mud," he sa id with a straight face . "I just like to get dirty." He al so has no shame. The first attempt at a cheer on Saturda y night was unsuccessful, so Tillman sat back down . Yes , Pete, he tried to lead he crowd in a cheer. Strange, eh? Tillman reconsidered and tried a second time, evoking a better response. A similar situation arose in the men's game, but this active Colonel had matured. He dec ided to show the crowd how unappealing its apathy was. "I heard a cheer! I heard a cheer!" He sprinted on to the court, slid on his belly for abo ut ten yards, turned over on his back and generally made a foo l of himself in order to make people laugh. Yo u know what, Pete? It worked. People w_ere rolling, ac tua lly hav ing a good time at a W ilkes basketball game. It got better. With the Colonels ahead by nearl y 20, T illman started to sing th ro ug h the megaphone, reminding the 1-19 Lycoming tea m how bad it really was. No one could rea lly understand what he was singing, but it was funn y. A star was born. "I just like to sing," Tillman said. "My voice is terrible, though." At least we know what his voice sounds like, Pete. Some may call Tillman eccentric, but at least he considers his position something of an honor. A school's mascot plays a huge role in determining the institution's identity. Our Colonel should be outwardly proud. He shouldn't sit on his hands. If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all, Pete. Let Tillman cheer, dance, sing, slide and freak out as much as possible. As Colonels go, he's a winner.

Coach Ron Rainey and the Wilkes Colonels (10-12) found that out last night in their 90-71 loss to the Scranton Royals. The Royals' frontline continually dumped rebounds back iri the basket on the offensive end and generally pushed the outmanned Colonels around in the paint. Dave Argentati's three-pointers were the only consistent form of offense Wilkes could muster. . "We collapsed on offense," said Jeff Gregory. "Nobody moved around or did anything they were supposed to do. It was a mess." Scranton jumped out to a 9-0 lead, but a fast break basket by Jim Nolan, an Argentati three-pointer and a Joe Natale score got the Colonels off the ground. Wilkes led 32-31 after another Argentati bomb, but the Royals took control, building a 43-36 halftime lead. The Royals jumped out to a 52-38 margin and never looked back.

Keyes awakened at this hour out of necessity. He then read and memorized the front page of the New York Times' news and sports sections. Sure, he liked to read the paper, but memorize it? He did this out of necessity. The next act of the young day would be to make sure his uniform was neat and his shoes were shined. Keyes is not a neat freak. He did this out of necessity. It seems like everything Charlie Keyes did two years ago when he was a plebe and a fullback on the football team in the United States Military Academy at West Point was done out of necessity. It got to the point where Keyes was pulling his hair out. He was studying five hours a night and on weekends just trying to keep up. He was going crazy. So he decided to leave. It was out of necessity. "I was miserable and I hated school," Keyes said. "The military aspect never really appealed to me. I made the decision that I wanted to take a shot at playing Division I football, but I just didn't like the military part of it. I figured rather than go through four years of school and then a five-year military commitment, I would get out while I still could." The decision became a little more difficult for Keyes when he was named starting fullback during spring football drills. "That made it a hard decision. I really loved to play football, but I didn't think three years of football was worth being miserable for the next nine years." So Keyes hung up his cleats and left the Black Knights of the Hudson and the chance to be the next Doc Blanchard or Glenn Davis. It was time to put on the singlet and headgear and become part of Coach John Reese's and Wilkes wrestlings' storied reputation. "I had heard of Charlie while he was still in high school from a referee I knew in the Harrrisburg area," said Reese said. "I knew he was a great student-athlete. He was given the Travers award as the top scholar-athlete in Central Pennsylvania.

Last Saturday night, the Lycoming women's basketball team was greeted by a one-woman show. Critics at the Marts Center gave the new star rave reviews. Missie Chinchar led the Lady Colonels with 18 points, 14 rebounds and for steals as Wilkes defeated the MAC North Division leaders 67-60 in overtime. Chinchar even spearheaded the fast break after a couple of her rebounds. A freshman from Tamaqua, Pa., she is a tremendous athlete in Coach Jodi Kest's stable. "Her natural ability is outstanding," Kest said. "She is quick and is a great passer. Missie is starting to come into her own. She's really contributing to the team's effort. "Missie wasn't the sole reason, but without her performance, it would have been extremely difficult to win the Lycoming game." The fast pace of the the collegiate game shocked Chinchar at first, but she has learned to adapt her game. "There's more intensity at this l said.

Next meeting: February 7 al 6:30 Contest for new seal to be held by Kathy Harris Beacon News Editor WILKES-BARRE Since Wilkes became a university, many things with Wilkes College have had to be changed. The Wilkes seal, which appears on everything from transcripts to checks, still has the word "college" on it. In an effort to update the seal, the University is conducting a "Design The Seal" contest. The prize for the winning entry will be $250 . . The contest is open to the entire Wilkes community, including students, faculty, administration and staff. There arc· several criteria for the design of the seal: . It must be bordered by the words "Wilkes University" and the year 1933, the year of Wilkes' foul)ding. The school's colors, blue and gold, must be used in the design. The design must also contain an identifiable person or element of W.ilkes University or its physical campus or surrounding location. The entries will be judged by a panel of selected faculty, staff, administrators and students. Judging will take place in April. The winning entry will be included among the seals which the Board of Trustees will consider as a replacement for the existing seal. Entries can be submitted to Dr. Robert Heaman, Wcckesser Hall. 1, 1990 North room opening delayed by Jeff LoHalbo Beacon Assistant News Editor WILKES-BARRE- A new attraction has appeared on the Wilkes Un_iversity campus. The North Room, located in the lower level of the Marts Center, is being converted into a night club to be used and operated by Wilkes students. There have been, unfortunately, some causes of delay to the opening of this new night club, originally scheduled to open this Thursday, February 1, 1990. · One major cause of the delay is the purchase of furniture. "The original quote for the furniture was two times more than we could afford," says Scott Barth, senior, who is on the North Room Committee. According to Michael Nolfe, Director of Student Activities, the dance floor is tiled, the ceiling is repaired, the mirrors are up,and the electrical work is finished. In midFcbruary, 15 bar stools and 60-70 chairs will be delivered. Also, 10 tables will be delivered at the end of February. Another reason for the delay is the magnitude of the project at hand. "Delays were due simply to the project being this big," says Barth. A third reason for the delay is the lack of response to the "Name the North Room" contest set up during the fall semester. There had been , according to Barth, only four entries to this contest. The contest has been extended due to this lack of response (See page 11 for details). According to Barth, the projected grand opening for the night club will be in the first week in March, and will include a disk jockey and food, including: pizza, hot dogs, nachos, general snacks, an ice cream bar, and free popcorn will be served at all times. The bar will provide soda, fruit drinks, and other holic beverages. Alcohol will not be any ti me, and students will permitted to provide al themselves. This policy strictly enforced. "The details for th~ opening have not yet bccri out," says Barth. "There events held there prior to the opening." One such event sc the North Room is a daocc sored by the Black Studcrt lion, to be held on February Another possible scheduled is a wide screen of the final fou r basketooll Dean's list for fall anounced WILKES-BARRE - The first Dean's List which uses 3.4 as its minimum grade was recently released.

Or, should I say, I am cmbarras,c d l'or the education system I am to k :1\'e after 17 1/2 years. In a recent issue of The Times Leader. the words to the Billy Joel , ong, " We Didn't Start the Fire," appeared. The article that appeared with the lyrics was abo ut the song's future use in America's classrooms. l thought that was pretty neat. It reminded me of the episode of ·•1l:tppy Days" when Pot.s ic couldn' t r,· mcmbcr the parts of the circulatory wslem, so he made up a song. The thing that I didn't think was nea t was that I have almost completed rn y cd ucauonal career, and I h:1d to ask \.vhat some of the people :111d things mentioned in the song \\ ,--·c. Th ,ll isn't ril!ht I ha\'C had al Inst five world h1story classes in my life, yet I did not kno\\' the signi fi ·mcc of the fa ll of D1 ,· nhicnphu . or \\ 1 ·1ck Kerouac \ I as. However, ,1.. , the dedica ted tri\'1:1pht!c that I am , I looked up the ,·lcmcnts of the song that I didn't know (I also had some help fro m \!om.) T hank goodness for her and my \\'() rld Almanac and the World Book Encyclopedia. As a public service to those like myself who may not have known what Billy Joel was singing about, here arc the explanations of just a few of the things mentioned in "We didn't start the fire" : Rosenberg, Ethel and Julius: executed for acts of espionage during World War II. Santayana, George: an author and philosopher who died in 1952. Malenkov, George: premier of Russia after the death of Stalin. He was forced to resign by Khrushchev. Prokofiev, Sergei: the Russian composer who wrote Peter and the Wolf. Dienbienphu: an important camp captured in 1954 by Vietnamese forces under Ho Chi Minh . Pasternak, Boris: author who wrote Dr. Zhivago . Kerouac, Jack: the founder of the Beatnik movement in the United States. Author of the Beatnik Bible, "On The Road." Chou En-Lai (Zhou Enlai): Communist premier and foreign ministcrofChinafrom 1949 to 1959. Syngman Rhee: the first president of Korea who left office in 1960. Eichmann; Adolf: Nazi war criminal executed in 1962. Those things were obviously important enough for Billy Joel to incl ude them in his song. Then why were they not important enough to incl ude in the various history courses I have taken? I believe I know the answers. Almost all the courses in history have ended with World War II. If the book continues on further, the teacher never docs. He or she assumes we already know all the history past I 94 5. You know what happens when you assume. Also, by the time we got to World War II, it was the end of the year or semester, and we had to rush just to finish the war. Those answers, however, are not excuses for my not being taught those things. have chan the thought ameor wrcs many stud commuters, 01 the old W ilkes l d dress up in t< ·se, and chee1 't matter whc or lost, everyone :very little interc the players . on the athletic fie int, the Wil January 24.

Then we advanced to Pennsylvania History, American Hi story, and finally World History. In our school, we had two years of American History and one year of World History, which , of course, ended at World War II. I know that we must learn about history so that we don ' t repeat it. But if we arc only taught history up to the end of World War II, then we could repeat the mistakes of 45 years of history. As Billy Joel says, "We didn't start the fire, but when we are gone, will it still bum on?" Only the fire of our own ignorance will bum on. The student 'privilege' Welcome back! The students of Wilk cs University have returned to begin the spring semester of 1990 after a month of part-time jobs, relaxation, and the holiday season. In case some of you spent a lot of your time in a coma state, let me refresh your memory of some of the events that have occurred. - 21 Americans, including a local from Reading, PA, were killed in the invasion of Panama. - Romania experienced a vi- olcntcivil war, where thousands died for the advancement of personal freedom. - Exxon spilled a few more mi llion barrels of oil into the earth's ocean. - And, baseball legend Billy Martin dies in a senseless drunk driving accident. The question for us, America's future, is where were we, and what were we doing when these earth shattering events were talcing place? - Did we voice any kind of op11110n regarding American intervention in another Latin American country? - The Beacon Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 VOL.

Maybe Circle K will undertake Lo rectify the lawn. I helped pay to have that lawn planted and to those slobs who persist in making the muddy path broader, I give a double fi ngcrwavc. I am writing in response to the editorial comments made by you regarding the lack of school spirit and the Colonel at the Wilkes/King's men's basketball game that occurred before winter break (Editorial: Craig, Comments, and Courtmar- tials, Dec. 7, 1989). There are times when I ask myself, " What have I gotten myself into?", and times I say to myself" you shouldhave bcenafarmer." Butthcn there arc times when a friend yells to me for a cheer and it always seems to put a smile on my face and renew my faith in fun-loving college students. No one told me it was going to be easy and I never thought it would be. The point is well taken about the school spirit, but I think school spirit starts with the individual. The funny thing is, I never hear the editor ask for a cheer or start one himself. So, where is that school spirit? I guess it' s only there when you have a paper and pen, not when there is a voice and a crowd. About the "no-excuses" part, I have one that I think is half-decent. It's one of those things that take up a three hour time period and last well into the night (at least longer then you can keep you eyes open). They like to call them night classes. Let us not forget I didn't come to Wilkes to be the Colonel (although at times that would be nice), Lcame to learn. And Adam Tillman, the back up, was called before-hand, but turned down the offer because of a paer he had due the next day. Very poor excuses, yeah right! If I started giving out advice, I think it would be, "Find out the truth before writing the rumors." All that I can say is that I'll try my best, and I hope to fi nd yo u a ll there cheering along with me. Sincerely, Pete "the Col,1ncl" Guinosso University shows good side of hype J anuary has proven to be the month of the overblown coverage, or hype, in America. Obviously the best example of this phenomenon is the once-a-year hypefest known as the Superbowl. This year's Superbore was held in New Orleans and caused, once again, a firestorm of coverage and controversy. The big story was centered around the report released by a Washington D.C. TV station that accused "three white quarterbacks" of being on the list of players who failed team conducted drug tests. The report went on to say that one of these quarterbacks was San Francisco's Joe Montana. This is what we speak of when we refer to hype. Hype can be a very dangerous tool. It can make a good thing immediately bad, as it has with the Superbowl. When it was still the NFL versus the AFL they had some great, underhyped games (does anyone remember hearing of a bold Jets QB named "Broadway" Joc?). But now, you can buy Superbowl memorabilia up to two months before the "big" game; you can bet on the outcome of the coin toss (Denver's only victory, incidentally); you can be sure that ESPN will broadcast from the game site for at least a . week before gametime; and you can even see beer bottles hashing out for field supremecy. (Hell, this year's Budbowl was more exciting. Didn't you all think Bud Light had it won when they brought in the "Washer," the "Dryer," and the "Kitchen Sink"?) he Superbowl is an example of hype gone overboard. Hype done right, on the other hand, can go a long way toward selling a good point to the public. A perfect case-in-point is the recent hyping of our school's re-birth from Wilkes College to Wilkes University. Many of you may believe that the school went too far in posting signs on every building on campus, but we disagree. Think of the administration as the proud parents of this university baby. Are parents overdoing it when they put up those cute, stork "I t's a boy/girl " signs on the fro nt lawn after Junior is born? Do you think new papa Dr. Farley sat on his hands and bit his bottom lip when Bucknell University Junior College became Wilkes College, in 1947? No he didn't and he, as well as proud father Dr. Breiseth, shouldn't be expected to, either. This is something you sing from the rooftops; somethin g you call long lost Cousin Sadie about. It's time for the University family (yes, that dreaded word , again) to stand together as one and celebrate the birth of a new family member. And thanks for the dinner invitation, dad. We'll be there with bells on . T Speaking of that dinner invitation , the entire University community has been invited to the University celebration dinner. Yes, that does include students. Friday is the last day to make reservations so you might want to get on the ball and let Dean Lampe know that you want to be there. The dinner will be held on Thursday, February 15, at 6 p.m. in the Marts Center. THUMBS UP: go to Jim "Microwave" Nolan for shattering the school's two basketball scoring marks over winter break. His 1801 points (and counting, thank you very much) beat the men's mark of 1685 held by Len Batroney and the overall mark held by Diane Kendig. Way to go 'Wave.

' Our car was entered by a stern sort who spoke harshly and had mastered the piercing glare. After his stamping and observing was complete, he turned to leave and something weird happened. He muttered "good-bye" and smiled heartily. Hmmm ... That happiness seemed to be spreading in East Berlin, especially in the oddest places. At the Memorial to the Victims of Facism, the group witnessed the military changing of the guard. The intensity of the moment was shattered when a soldier, face to face with his comrade, began to laugh. photo by Jim Clark An East German soldier stands guard at a memorial 'I thought they were warmer than West Berliners. They didn't try to classify you.' "Seeing the Communist military firsthand softened my image," said John McLaughlin. "We're pumped full of American propaganda about how menacing they arc, and then to see one of them laughing is shocking." "The soldiers were very relaxed," _said Ruth Soderberg. "You really didn't see a military presence." A lax attitude was everywhere. The Soviet embassy was defaced by the name of Europe's most popular celebrity in red spraypaint. Gorby, not Bon Jovi. They have a civic consciousness, we have Nintendo. Oh, well. The political chains were loosened, but the choking effect of a state-controlled economy was still plainly evident. "It was very sad to see people standing in line for food when we walked out of a pub after stuffing our faces," said Shelly Gardner. "I had no prior conception of a Communist country." "Away from the main line, the suburbs depicted a Communist society as I thought it would be," commented Werner. "There were Jines for food, banks, linens and tools." Welcome to the throes of poverty. A trip to Unter den Linden -East Berlin's Fifth Avenue - was quite deceiving. In an attempt to lure tourists and make them think the system prospers, bright lights adorn a stretch of stores and modern office buildings. "It's diabolical," McLaughlin said. "They try to get you to believe that's how it is. But if you walk a few blocks, you sec the real East Berlin." Some of it is an ugly ghetto, but certain sections are quaint and cminate a historical aura. Sadly, they arc buried by the residue of a rotting economy. "You have a 'plaster republic' right across the street from a cathedral," Nelson said. "It reminded me of a New York City slum," said Adam Tillman. "But it didn't have the noise, filth or garbage." We made just a few trips to a city where 50 cents could buy a full meal or a pair of shoes, and the effect of its inadequacies was temporary. But the squalor is eternal for those Jiving there, and that's why they arc dedicated to change. A close inspection of one of the department stores made Boscov's look like Macy's. Products were shoddy and scarce. Sweaters on hangers sported holes, and traces of progress were nonexistent. According to Nelson, the store's patrons stared at the vidcocam-toting Ellis "as if he were Zeus himself." "We might ·as well have been Martians," said Vaughn Shinkus. "The way we looked and were dressed was so foreign to them. Physically, things haven't changed since the War and it reflects in the attitudes of the people. They're very serious and everything is backward." "They just don't look healthy," said Janelle Saucraker. "They walk around like they don't have emotions." But, of course, they do. "I thought they were warmer than West Berliners," Gardner said. "They didn't try to play with your mind or classify you." "They aren't sophisticated enough to label you," Nelson said. "It's like a third world city, but it has first world people." One of those was was Katarina Brimmer, a 29-year-old East Berliner who was semi-participating in the protest, her eyes filled with wonder. As the chant turned to "Deutschland is the fatherland" - a call for unification - confusion crept into her features, the same bewilderment shared by two countries in the wake of these dizzying changes. "Do you want one nation?" I asked. She considered the question for a moment. "I don't know," she answered. "I don't know." But she was smiling. �F1:i1JW AR\' I, 1990 Cheap Tickets? by Susan Spillman Cannell News Service Eddie Murphy's "Harlem Nights" may never come to a discount theater near you.

The world's biggest McDonald's opens in Pushkin Square here Wednesday - the pinnacle of U.S. capitalism meets the heart of Soviet communism. 50,000 hungry Moscovitcs arc expected for opening day fries, burgers and shakes. "It's kind of astounding the way they've taken to McDonald's," says Bill Halal, a George Washington University expert on Soviet trade. The Soviets arc simply crazy for McDonald's. When a "help wanted" notice ran in a city newspaper, 26,000 students, housewives and professionals applied for 630 jobs.

On-again, off-again negotiations for the Moscow McDonald's started in 1976 when George Cohan, president of McDonald's Restaurants of Canada Ltd., took a Soviet delegation to one of his restaurants. Eventually, McDonald's will have 20 restaurants in Moscow. To support the growing franchise, McDonald's built a giant food processing center on Moscow's outskirts. McDonald's also taught Soviet farmers to grow russet_Burbank potatoes for frcnch fries; introduced disease-resistant cucumbers for crisp salads; and is pasteurizing raw milk from local farmers.

In a recent interview, Alannah stated, "I wanted to go back to my roots and make a record that sounded like a t~ree-piece rock and roll band with raunchy guitars and very little keyboards; a record that would express my vivacious personality." Rediscovering this style has certainly paid off, and the charts are telling the tale. The album is original and well put together. It contains a mixture of rock styles which seem to mesh into a rock blues sound. The first single, "Black Velvet," is an example of puire blues at its best. Her voice, reminiscent of Pat Benetar, adds a certain sensuality to the album. The LP took five years to complete during which time Alannah continued to tour and write. Her collaborators were David Tyson and executive producer Christopher Ward. If you're a fan of that pure rock and roll sound, Allanah Miles is your ticket to paradise. Students generally have two important things on their minds. One, the cost of their higher education. And two, finding the right job following graduation. The Registered Nurse Scholarship Loan Program at Geisinger Wyoming Valley can help people interested in a nursing career with both concerns. Here's how it works. Scholarships are awarded to qualified recipients in their senior year of a basic registered nurse training program. An employment commitment post graduation is associated with the scholarship loan. At the end of the employment commitment, the scholarship loan is considered paid-in-full. Of course, registered nurses will be earning a salary and Geisinger Wyoming Valley's complete benefit package, too.

A comedic duct strutted their stuff on the stage , and hL'twccn the two of them, kept the audience in laughter, ranging from light chuckles to loud gullaws. The first of the two merry makers was Partrick O'Donnell of Wilmington, Delaware. O'Donnell, who got his start at a ·coJ lcge party doing impressions has had spots on various comedy · houses including the Comedy Shop in Atlantic City. O'Donnell joked with various members of the audience, focusing most or his harassment on two male students who sat up front. One swdent, John, who appeared to be suffering from a hangover was a const,111t source of amusement to O'Donnell. He also took the time to pick on non-smokers, name ~1gs, cops, and bums. This sclf-proclaimecl "Condom Jingle Man" sang numerous jingles ab(_)ul safe sex, including one entitled "Rubber-oni." The audience was in hysterics. The second comedian of the C\'ening was Terry Gilespie from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. One of the great rules of comedy, according to Bene Midlcr on a commercial, is to never follow a belier comedian. Gilespie was faced · with the clillicult task of coming on after an equally good comedian. Unfortunately for him, many of the topics he joked about h,1d just be clone by O'Donnell. As a result, the audience could feel him pushing to be funny and could tell he was uncomfortable. Despite the tension, Gilespie still managed to find some very funny subjects. For example, he came up with the idea of Wino Olympics, with one competition being a wrestling m,llch: winos vs gravity. He also Lalkcd about being a vegeLarian, phone sex, Near Beer, the C coffee, Jimmy Swaggart and Jim Bakker, being maricd, Boy George, and nuns ( referring to them as professional virgins). In our conversation before the show, Gilespie said that before doing comedy he had been a professional actor in San Francisco. One C\'Cning he went to a comedy club, the Holy City Zoo, where he saw a comedian, and said to himself, "I can do that." It turns out the comedian was the then little known Robin Williams. According to Gilespie, the hardest parts of comedy arc to be conciously different and to maintain his integrity as an artist. O'Donnell, on the other hand, finds the hardest part to be dealing with uncooperative audiences. Referring to another comedian, O'Donnell made the comment that it "takes five years before you arc good and ten years before you' re great." Both O'Donnell and Gilespie appear to be well on their way to greatness.

This year, he broke Milt Plum's single season QB rating with a 112.4 mark. 'Joe Montana is inhuman.' Cris Collinsworth was receivers like Dwight Clark, Renaldo Nehemiah, and Freddie Solomon who served as gifted side dishes, complementing Montana's terrific talents. From the middle of the decade unlil now, players like Rice, Roger Craig and John Taylor have served as primary targets for number 16's accurate arm. Craig, an all-pro running back, caught over 90 passes during the 1985 campaign. Taylor has has made his mark the past two seasons, establishing himself as one of the NFL's elite alongside teammate Rice. He displayed his strength when he broke free on two 90-plus yard scores in a Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams late this season. There is no doubt that the great receivers in Montana's past and present have contributed to his i,1evitable Hall of fame indaction. However, Montana stands on his own in certain categories. He is the most accurate quarterback of all time, completing close to 70 percent of his career · pass attempts. Montana is also the highest rated signal-caller in NFL , Montana's 1989 storybook season was ca.pped off with a phenomenal 1990 Su per Bow 1 fairytale. Once again, the master completed over 60 percent of his passes, and didn't throw an interception. The consummate pro broke a multitude of Super Bowl records. Montana threw five touchdown passes, breaking the previous mark of four set by Terry Bradshaw and Doug Williams. He also broke Phil Simms' consecutive completion mark of ten by connecting on thirteen pass attempts in a row. Joe Montana has four Super Bowl rings for four of the fingers on his "Golden Ann." A fifth ring would complete his perfect career. If that triumph came next year, it would gi:ve the 49ers their third straight Super Bowl trophy. After that, Montana's quest to be the NFL's best ever would be complete. If Montana cloesn 't win the Super Bowl next year, it would prove that he . is only h~man.

In the early 80s, it by Larry Weisman Gannrtt News Service NEW ORLEANS - The NFL Hall of Fame swung its doors open wide last Saturday and voted to admit seven new members as its class of 1990. The honorees: former Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry, Pittsburgh Steelers Franco Harris and Jack Lambert, Kansas City's Buck Buchanan, Miami's Bob Griese, Ted Hendricks (most famed for his Oakland Raiders craziness),and Bob St. Clair, a tackle wi(h San Francisco from 1953-63. Harris and Lambert were members of the four Super Bowl-winning Steelers teams. "Franco was the guy that really lifted the Steelers to a new level, to a level of confidence that we believed we could win," said Joe Greene, now a Steelers assistant and.himself a Hall of Farner. Harris rushed for 12,120 career yards, fourth-best in NFL history, and scored 91 to uchdowns from 1972-84. Lambert made All-Pro seven times as the middle linebacker of the Steel Curtain defense, playing from 1974-84. "It's nice to be able to go in with Franco," Lambert said. 'Tm glad I'm not going in without another Steeler." Greene, Jack Ham, Mel Blount and Terry Bradshaw preceded Lambert and Harris. Griese, a smooth and poised quarterback for 14 seasons (196780), played on three Super Bowl teams with Miami, two of which won NFL titles. Hendricks, who split his 15-year career (1969-83) among the Baltimore Colts, Green Bay Packers and Raiders, played in four Super Bowls. He was a Pro Bowl linebacker eight times. Buchanan played defensive tackle for Kansas City for 13 seasons (1963-75) and played in two Super Bowls, Super Bowl I and Super Bowl IV, in which the Chiefs beat Minnesota 23-7. Landry, innovator of the flex defense, coached the expansion Cowboys for 29 years, won 270 games (and two of five Super Bowls) and posted 20 consecutive winning seasons. Landry was forced into retirement after the 1988 season when the Cowboys were sold. St. Clair, an offensive tackle who played some goal-line defense early in his career, was a big man (69, 265 pounds) before football became a big man's game. ©Copyright 1990, USA TODA Y/Applc College Information Network �.JAGE 14 F1-.BRUARY 1, 199() Tamai counts on his hat and tal He walks around campus with a smile on his face and a ,ounce to his step. He isn't much different from your 1ormal college student, but one characteristic distinguishes 1im from all the rest. Can you guess who it is? No? O.K., here's a hint. He . 1as a one-of-a-kind hat thal rarely leaves his skull. Ir you said Kurt Tamai, you hit the hat right on the 1ead. Tamai, a senior 118-pound wrestler from Landover, \laryland , has been wearing the hat as a good luck charm .ince his senior year in high school. One look at his record his year (he is undefeated in dual meets, suffering both of ·1is losses in the Wilkes Open) indicates the hat is working ,n epic proportions. "In high school, I was a tri-caplain along with my twin 'irother, K;rl and another guy, Dave Slomk<>wski," Tamai sai~l. "Dave's father had a hat and we all look turns wearing L When it came time lo go lo colkgc, we all went our ,e par;lle ways bul my sis ter gave me this hal wh ich is similar lo the one we shared as a good luck charm." "K un gave up the hal for Lent last year, so you know il ·s really spec ial lo him ," said head co.1ch John Reese. 'E very now and then, the guys will try lo stea l the hat or ·1iclc il on him lo tease him." Teasing is something Tamai has grown accu stomed lo. Beca use he owns such a friendly pcrsonitlily, everyone enjoys .1 oking with him . "In high school, (Tamai aucndcd basketball power De matha in the D.C. area, which is also the alma mater of :'orm cr Duke star Danny Ferry) the principal would always 1oke with me and say wrcslling was a sport thal you played ,vhen you couldn't do anything else." And then there was the lime when Tamai was conned nto believing he was the Wilkes-Barre 'Fimes Leader athlete .>f the week. "Last year, I lived on the fourth floor of Evans Hall and I gol a call on the pay phone," Tamai said. "IL was Andre Vliller (former Wilkes assistant), bul I didn 't pick up the voice. He started asking me question s about wrcslling and ,hen h.:: told me I was going to be the 'times-Leader athlete ,if the week. "He told me lo come. to the Kirby Center for a special dinner. 1 was reall y excited. When the day came, I got all dres sed up and was on cloud nine. I went lo the Kirby enter and asked the people al the box office where the dinner rm me was going lo be. When the people told me they didn't know about the dinner, I said to myself, 'they got me.' IL was really funny though. We still laugh about it." When it comes to wrestling, Tamai is no laughing maucr. For those of you who believe il is fashionable to arrive late, you arc missing some of the best wrcslling at the 118-pound division on the Easl coast. Bul Tamai's rise lo stardom wasn't all a magic carpet ride. His first two years were spent studying the tricks of the trnclc un,lcr former Wilkes greats Dennis Ivlcjias, Brian Bauer and current lcamalc Ron Miller. "Those guys reall y taught me the schoo l of hard knocks," Tamai sa id. "Coming out of high sc hool, most freshmen were stars and siuing on top of the world. Those guys brought me back clown to earth. They use to kick my bull everyday, but I kept learning. Thal was the important thing, to keep learning every day." Tamai used the experience he gained through his first two years and captured the starting position al 126 pounds last year and did a respectable job, finishing 15-10-1 at the higher weight class. "Kun did well at 126 last year, but he wasn't physically strong enough," Reese said. "He is doing really well this year now that he is back at his normal position. The thing about Kurt is that he works harder than other people and is in beucr shape. He wrestles you tough for seven minutes. He has a chance to be one of the top three finishers in the Easlerns th is year." "I'm glad to be back at 118 this year, I size up much bcucr," said Tamai. "Last year I was smaller than my competition and I got tossed around a lot. This year, I feel I'm doing bcucr, but lillic injuries keep popping up that ha\'c me worried. Any injury is sca ry because it can hold you back." Staying back , says Reese, is one or T altri bules. "Kurt always helps the other guys. Al practice, he will stay around and roll around help someone lose weight, whereas most kids right away because they arc tircd, thirsty or hu unselfish. He always think s of others."

His shooting range is outstanding.' Ron Rainey On the Wilkes front, Doughty is definitely doing his share. "Tommy's playing extremely well righL now," Rainey said. "He's the best big-man passer in the league. He especially throws the Jong pass well, and if a club isn't conscious of that over forty minutes, he can hurt you by creating easy baskets. "His shooting range from 15 to 17 feet is outstanding. He's an all-around player." Doughty was forced Lo play center last season, buL the emergence of Na1.2!e, a 6'8" freshman, has allowed him to inhabit his natural spot in the lineup. The move has yielded dividends. "It takes a lot of pressure olI me," Doughty said. "Not that I don't try as hard, but I know if I don't gel a rebound, somebody else will be there. Joe's amazing. He was a freshman for about five minutes." A tri-captain along with Nolan and Argentati, Doughty doesn't put much stock in his position. "It's just a name they put on you," he said. "I think it just helps establish a Jillie organization out of the mayhem. The young players look to us, and vice versa. We're a close-knit family this year." Rainey appreciates Doughty's dedication. "He works extremely hard in practice," he said. "He's there every day. That's the important thing that the young kids have to sec. That's true leadership." Doughty spent his first two years at Keystone Junior College, a whole different basketball world. "Going from Keystone to Wilkes is like going from city ball to suburb ball," he said. "Here, the guys may not have as much talent, but they have more desire. They're here because they want Lo be." ,. Why the transfer? "It wasn't a basketball decision to come to Wilkes. I liked the community, and the communications program has a good reputation. "I really didn't feel I could make the squad at first at Keystone because the guys were so much faster than me_ I got sick my sophomore year, so thcs~ last two years were a Tom Doughty heads for t he basket real change." A change for the better. "I met so many of my friends through basketball," Doughty said. "And I've formed solid relationships with Coaches Rainey, Martin and Andrcjko. I'd do anything for them." No, Tommy. You're doing everything for them. Nolan eclipses mark _by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - Basketball and Jim olan. The two arc one and the same. But don't make the mistake of classifying Nolan a jock. That's not the case. The game keeps him going, gives him a canvas on which to paint graceful, athletic portraits. "It means the world to me," Nolan said. "I've been playing for 15 years. I love iL" On January 5 at Bloomsburg University's Tournament, Nolan took a pass from point guard Ray Ott against York College and let a three-pointer fly. Connection. Not an ordinary one, however. This basket made Nolan the all-time leading scorer in Wilkes men's basketball.history. Len Batroney, meet the new king. Nolan surpassed Diane Kendig the next game to become the school's top scorer in any gender.. He currently has 1,801 career points and has a 23.8 points per game average, which puts him among the top scorers in the nation in Division III. "Until the last few games, I was having the best season I could possibly have," Nolan, a senior, said. "I'm feeling great on the court. Confidence is the mark of a scorer." "Jimmy's always hyped up," said Colonel forward Tom Doughty. "He's the most intense player I've ever played with. When he gets in a streak, no one can stop him. He can shoot over a guy or go in · for a layup. He's a player." "No doubt about it, he's having a great year," said head coach Ron Rainey.

Could you sec the Wilkes basketb:lil team going into the Carrier Dome and pulling a beating on Derrick Coleman and the boys? Didn't think so. Nonetheless, the Colonels appear to be back on stride.

After the evaluation is complete, the team members will prepare a draft report of their findings, which they will submit to Wilkes College President Christopher Breiseth. After Breiseth corrects any errors that may have appeared in the draft report, a final report will be submitted to the Commission on Higher Education. It is this commission that takes actual action on reaccrediting an institution such as Wilkes College. · Although Wilkes does have potential problems that the evaluators will most likely notice, Waldner said, the administration is already aware of their existence. Furthermore, "the self-study document has generated steps for improvement" pertaining to these problems. These problems include the need for long-range planning, the necessity to take an initiative toward providing ethnic diversity at the college and the the need for "outcome assessment". Outcome assessment, according to Waldner, means that "the departments have to be able to document that education is achieving its desired results". Waldner also feels that the evaluation team will notice several beneficial changes that have occurred since the last evaluation took place. These include a newly-revised curriculum and the school's upcoming change to university status. "I do hope they will notice," Waldner said of the university status, "but it's not really a radical change. We will still be doing the same things we've always done.'1 tions at the college. While he was attending Wilkes, he was the President of Student Government and the "outstanding graduate" of his class, according to Paul Adams,. Associate Dean of Student Affairs. "Arthur was never married, except in the sense that he was married to the college. The students were his life. You couldn't count the number of lives he touched and improved. He was a parent to an awful lot of students," he said. The idea for the North Room came about in December of 1988, according to Scott Barth, head of the North Room committee. "Student Government was given an opportunity to develop the North Room into a useful space and incorpopted their idea of a nightclub," he says. Making the idea a reality was not an easy task. Barth, who has been a driving force behind the project from its onset to the present, worked with Amy Widemer (former Director of Student Activities), Lisa Knabb, Mark Vetovitz, Karen Donohue, and Kim Zoka to conceive the original floor plan for the club. He says that they've made at least two modifications on the original design. Most of the changes involved the layout of the bar area, he added. This project Student Government has undertaken should by no means be underestimated, Barth said. Bill Hanigan, treasurer for Student Government and also a member of the North Room committee, says the organization granted over $92,000 for the creation of the "North Room." "Student Government realized that the best way to show our seriousness concerning our ideas for the room was in terms of a See Club page 2 �DECEMBER PAGE2 Student Government Report .. ,. ,_ WILKES-BARRE - Plans for Winter Weekend are beginning to fall into place even though the event in over two mo_nths away. Chairpersons for the event were chosen for all committees. This year, 20 teams will be involved with 20 members (ten girls and ten guys) on each team. Applications will be accepted on a first comefirst serve basis. They will be collected on Tuesday, January 23, 1990. A $40 team fee must accompany the application. One change in events was made. The swimming events were eliminated in favor of bowling events. A contest to' name the North Room will be run (SEE PAGE 8). The first reading of the constitution of the Pre-Med Society was given. The club want to involve all pre-med majors, including psychology, biology, chemistry, etc. Their aim is to make students aware of professional school opportunities. They plan to have guest speakers from different medical schools. - 7, 1989 Club Continued from page 1 financial commitment. Thus we granted the North Room the $92,000," he says. When the North Room is complete, the money will have furnished a disc jockey booth, a bar, a storage area, a tile dance floor, and carpeting. There will be mirrors behind the bar and the name chosen for the club will be etched into the mirrors. The color chosen for the carpeting is a charcoal gray, while the decor for the bar is aqua green. The dance floor \\'.ill be a combina.tion of the two colors. Although there is a dance floor, the North Room will not be solely for dancing. It will also be used for luncheons, bands, comedians, solo performers, and possibly even a social gathering for televised sporting events, according to Barth. During each of these functions at the North Room, non-alcoholic beverages and snack foods such as popcorn and chicken wings will be served. Students will serve as waiters and waitresses, barten- ders, DJs and even managers. Bart.'. also says that the ultimate objective is to have the nightclub entirely student-run. Barth says that opening date for the club will be February 1, 1990. "In the beginning it will be open on a limited basis, probably Thursday through Sunday and for special events," he says. Along with the rest of the North Room committee and Student Government, Barth has high expectations for the the success of the club. "It's a really neat and first class nightclub. People are going to be really surprised that Wilkes has a club this nice," he says. Lisa Knabb, another member of the committee from its onset, says the club "will start off slowly-until the word spreads about how nice it is. Eventually it will get more and more successful." She added, "it will be a place where students can always go when it's open. It's going to be a good hang out."

Fall is becoming Winter. Wilkes College is becoming a University. Leaves are falling from the trees, and privileges are falling from the reach of commuter students. GG>MMINffilBlf J t>y )phfrqii(ij~ff t The privilege I am questioning deals directly with the SUB, where students can use their meal cards (student I.D.) to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. What the food service is forgetting is that commuters, in spite of not living on campus, are still students. If you are a student at Wilkes you should have the privilege to eat at the SUB , right? Wrong! If you are a commuter on the five or nine meal plan you are segregated from the rest of the campus and can not use your card to eat at the SUB. Why? A commuter could ask this question a thousand times and he or she could still come away not knowing the reason. The reason given is because it is not in the contract for commuters to cat at the SUB. Once again, the question, Why?! For most of this fi.rst semester commuters were allowed to use their I.D. to cat at the SUB. Now that privilege has been abruptly halted. What harm could come of allowing a commuter to use his or her card at the SUB. There are only about forty students who are on the five and nine meal plans. Don't get me wrong. It was generous of the college and food service to grant the commuters these meal plans. However, the commuters should be able to eat at the cafeteria or the SUB, the same company produces the food for both places. This issue is baffling to a commuter. Will someone please clean up this ridiculous food block in front of the commuters?! The SUB was intcnted for commuters in the first place. Now that commuters pay for food at the cafeteria they can no longer consume food at the SUB, unless they pay additional money on top of what they pay the college. Try to figure that out! It's real fair, right? It's crazy! Let the commuters, who are students, eat at the SUB. V This problem should be amended by the beginning of the next semester. If it is not, Wilkes is losing touch with the closeness it has maintained among the students. I forgot! Wilkes is becoming a larger school. This makes it easier to avoid the small problems that affect certain people ... people who are students. The Beac on Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 VOL.

The other parts of the basic setting also served as metaphors. For example, there were 6 flats flanking the stage, three on each side. They extended upwards of 30' downstage (closest to the audience) to 36' upstage (furthest away from the audience). So tall and massive that they required a steel cable on each to suspend them from the iron grid above the stage (note that each cable is capable of holding 1000 lbs), because no theatrically feasible structures could support their size and weight. All of this was to show the smallness of the characters and objects on stage. The "limited entourage" of the objects on the stage was not that a tall. In fact it was quite the opposite, it only appeared small and sparse because it was so terrifically understated by its huge surroundings. The Konradsweil forest scenes theartically represented a faded memory turned to evil with its suggested aparitions of twisted, gnarled and fading trunks and limbs. There is nothing green, or earthy, about it. It successfully represented a strong love turned to hatred and lust for revenge, which, unless your head is buried in the sand, everyone feels at some point in their lives. And, to cap it off, the "cemen-t menace" lurks 0nimously in the background. Mr. Gordon, no one in their right "1 ind would want to live in Gtilkn.

As most of you know by now - if you don't, read the story in the Features section before you continue - Blue Light Special copped the title as the top band, again. This year's version was as good as last year's with one notable exception. Actually, it was more of a notable deletion. This past summer Wilkes College freshman, Beacon staff writer and Blue Light Special guitarist Craig Cooper died of a spinal tumor. As we bask in the glow of the holiday season and another successful Battle of the Bands it is especially important to remember those who are no longer among us. With that in mind we think of Craig's fami,ly and offer them our condolensces. We remember his writing and music and realize that a small part of us won't ever be the same again. And as Blue Light Special took the stage, I'm sure Craig was smiling. Keep the beat, Craig. We miss you. L ast week the Colonels basketball team took on King's in the annual "Backyard Brawl." For those of you who care, the Colonels dropped a 91-77 decision to Dave Miller (47-poiots) and the Monarchs. The problem with the game was that, in spite of the fact that the game was played in the Marts Center, it seemed more like it was played at King's. They had more fan support, and more fans, period, than did the Colonels. As the game wore on, the noise from the King's stands got louder and the din in the Wilkes stands became a murmur. In fact, the only noise out of the Wilkes stands were nasty and derrogatory statements toward the King's players, the King's cheerleaders, and the King's mascot. Mom always said, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. What is most depressing is that the King's Monarch mascot was at the Marts Center, but where was the Colonel? No excuses will work. ' We have two Colonels so that if one is unable to attend, the other will be there in his stead. So where were you? No need to answer now, you blew it guys. Maybe it's time for a courtmartial. A s the final articles are laid out for this.issue of the Beacon we would be remiss if we didn't point out a few milestones that are being surpassed with this issue. First and foremost this is the last Beacon of the semester. It is the twelfth in a long line - this semester - that continues a 42 year long tradition that we are very proud to be a part of. This volume of the Beacon has some of the finest writing ever offered. Also, this is the last Beacon of the 1980s. In that vein, we are offering a four-page pull-out section that, to the best of our abilities, outlines the '80s. Finally, this will be the last Beacon in the history of Wilkes College. Starting next semester, the Beacon's beat becomes Wilkes University. We hope that we can continue to serve the campus as we have in the past. As this decade comes to an end we remember the many changes and hope for even more in the future. Have a happy holiday and be careful. "Dear George, Remember, no man is a failure who has friends.

This year, five bands competed for $450 in prize money. A sixth band, the Eyeballs, was listed on the program but was unable to compete. The first band to perform was Caught in the Whole. Members Bobby and Michael Kiz, Jim Rose, and Neil Thomas were the heaviest band of a large field of hard rock bands. They covered heavy metal classics by such bands as Metallica, Black Sabbath, and Kiss. The next band, Damage Inc., may be recognized by attendees of last year's Battle as Cheese Fumunda. This year's members are George Kulkusky , Rick "Slick" Scott, Zap, and Doctor Death. They, too, carried the heavy metal theme with songs by Metallica, Whitesnake, and Led Zeppelin. NUTZ, the third band o( the night, slowed things down a bit by performing Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and Guns 'N' Roses' version of "Knocking at Heaven's Door." Chas Banellis, Mike Brogan, Anthony Limongelli, Joe Murray, and Gregg Nichobon also rocked the house with a Kiss classis and a rockin' original, "Can't Stop the Rain." Following NUTZ's, Rob the band began to play Joe Satriani 's "Surfing With the Alien," guitarist Mike Cassella's amps didn't sound right.

The decade's hits: - Personal computers. After Apple introduced the user-friendly Macintosh in 1984, even computer overs. - Fax machines. At $2,000 to $5,000 apiece, fax machines were thought too pricey in the early '80s. That thinking changed as prices fell - now the average is between $900 and $1,000.

The idea of companies using videos as premiums is also more popular than ever before.

This year, the magazine is expected to use as many as eight different videos as giveaways. Procter & Gamble Co., meanwhile, has given away videos of everything from cartoons to NFL films with purchases of their products. And the R.J.

Mother Jones magazine, meanwhile, is offering a speech by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on video as a premium, and Premiere magazine provides a video on movie-making to subscribers.

'JI Jackson thrilled lis-teners during the '80 by Edna Gundersen Gannett News Service Pop music in the 1980s was ... inoffensive. Sure, Tipper Gore was irked, but for the most part, parental flesh did not crawl. Rock became homogenized, lobotomized and ·sanitized, as harmless and prevalent as tap water. The '80s opened with a deceiving signal, the Clash's "London Calling," a double album of punk rage. Oops, false alarm. Christopher Cross swept the Grammys, Poison and Whitcsnake got famous, and Lou Recd took a walk on the mild side to plug motor scooters. Defying evolution, the Monkees returned. Elvis was trivialized into this era's pct rock. And pop continued its death march to The Land of a Thousand Dunces: easy listening. That's not to deny that brilliant and daring artists captivated our attention. But even the most brilliant and daring, Prince, who started the decade with the gasp-inducing decadance of "Dirty Mind," ended it with a bouquet of party favors, the entertaining but cautious "Batman" soundtrack. Michael Jackson thrilled us with "Thriller," then sold his soul to Pepsi and became a California Raisin. Both created powerful, original music that scaled the charts despite prevailing tastes for shapeless ditties. Along with Madonna and Bruce Springsteen, they were the pop Source · Record Industry Association of America Jul ie Stacey, GNS superstars of the '80s: - Madonna owned the decade with her shimmery, dance-groove singles and proudly sensual videos. "Like a Virgin" (1984) was the first LP by a female artist to sell more than five million copies. The most savvy self-promoter since Muhammad Ali and a facile chameleon, Madonna made a happy marriage of art and commerce - long thought incompatible by pop's ivory-tower artistes - paving the way for a new wave of women pop stars. - Prince, pop's ultimate alchemist, also is its most prolific practitioner. He made three movies and nine albums in the '80s, not counting the bootleg of the decade, his "Black Album" of hard funk. "Purple Rain" canonized him and showcased his genius as a writer, arranger, singer and musician. "Sign o' the Times" and "Batman" shrewdly exploited technology, never at passion's expense. If his only '80s contribution had been the song "When Doves Cry," Prince would remain a leading influence. - Bruce Springsteen's blockbuster "Born in the USA," its misinterpreted title track embraced by presidential candidates, pushed him into the stratosphere of pop stars. But it was the follow-up, "Tunnel of Love," that emerged as the decade's best album. An intimate, harrowing portrait of adult romance, it terrifies and tantalizes without sacrificing the excitement and rock ferocity Springsteen personifies. - Michael Jackson's "Thriller" was the decade's unparalleled pop phenomenon, spawning seven Top 10 singles and selling more than 40 million copies worldwide to become the best-selling album ever. It was propelled by state-of-the-art videos and a record-breakil)g world tour. Jackson repeated the cycle with "Bad," still a monster at half the numbers of "Thriller." He dazzled the globe, but finally his weirdo image clouded his talents. As ' 80s shapers, those four share credit with two catacl ysm ic events: MTV and rap. Born A ug. I , 1981, with the Buggies' prophetic "Video Killed the Radio Star," MTV irreversibly altered pop, shifting emphasis to surface over substance and instant fame over the hard-earned variety. MTV embraced new artists and sounds ignored by record companies. And it cultivated an art form that, while still pumping out mostly eyeball junk food, has produced some DECADE OF THRILLS - Michael Jack successful album "Thriller," which sold more Iha copies worldwide, was the deacade's number one nutrition: Herbie Hancock's "Rockit," Michael "Billie Jean" and the decade's best, Peter "Sledgehammer." It's whimsical but not dopey, human, sexy but not prurient. Rap's entrance, too, was a mixed blessing. II best of rhymes and the worst of rhymes, from~ poetry to macho boasting and sexist diatribes. Flash and the Furious Five set the stage with I Message," managing enough airplay to fuel the rap's sidewalk prophets. Just when you thought the '80s were over, '60s, some old dogs did new tricks. This year, Stones and Paul McCartney returned with triu and strong albums; Neil Young and Bob Dylan finest work in a decade. And last-minute newco Colour, Tracy Chapman, Terence Trent D'Arby claim to the future. Perhaps most encouraging is that the '80s clearly discernable path cleared.

Haley Gannett News Service The decade now passing was one of incredible turmoil and change in the auto industry. Ford and Chrysler faced financial ruin as the 1980s began, and the car business seemed stuck in a hopeless recession. A sharp rebound followed to record sales of 16.1 million cars and light trucks in 1986; 1988 was the No. 2 year with 15.5 million in sales. Now, the experts say, a new auto recession has begun. Through the ups and downs, the Big Three domestic automakers watched the Japanese car companies bite off bigger chunks of the U.S. car market; today the Japanese own 25 percent. The harsh environment forced car companies to get aggressive and launch bold new products. The crucibicoflh-e-_ '80s fired some of the finest cars in a long time: The most significant: - CHRYSLER MINIVAN: A gang of Ford rejects took a concept that Ford had rejected and turned the auto world upside down. Idea man Hal Sperlich had vainly lobbied for a small, civilized passenger van when he worked at Ford. After he moved to Chrysler, he watched the idea bloom when Lee Iacocca, another Ford castoff, took over Chrysler. Chrysler's minivan - introduced in 1984 - sparked a shift away from station wagons and caught other automakers flat-footed . The minivan helped fuel a wider interest in trucks that's still reverberating in showrooms. Winning formula - front-wheel-drive for good traction; car-like seating; smooth handling to avoid the truck-like harshness of other vans; and low height so you don't need a ladder to get in. Now minivans account for roughly 20 percent of Chrysler's sales - and Chrysler doesn't need rebates to sell them. - FORD TAURUS: The "jelly bean" sedan, along · with corporate cousin the Mercury Sable, redefined the family car. The round, wind-cheating look was a product of Ford design boss Jack Telnack's stint in Europe. The front-wheel-drive layout provided full-size passenger room in a midsize package, and the minimalist interior echoed the best from West Germany. - ACURA LEGEND: What gnashing of teeth the expensive Honda caused at its 1986 debut! Would anyone really pay $20,000 for a Japanese car, even a high-performance luxury model? How silly that sounds now, as Lexus and Infiniti come to market with $40,000 Japanese cars. Cars that bombed: The tough decade of the '80s beat up some cars and their makers. Among the notable victims: - YUGO GV: It seemed like a good idea at the time: an old Fiat built by cheap labor in Yugoslavia for sale at $4,000 in the United States to people who couldn't really afford a car. It turned out that not only was the car troll so was its U.S. distributor, which went to federal court to keep from going under. Yugo has improved the car, overhauled lhe and is emerging from the Chapter 11 cloud. Bii long, hard climb. - FIAT: The big Italian automaker got the the United States, people aren't crazy abouttrou - even if they are sporty and cheap. Fiat quit here in 1983. It still exists, though, as U.S. d' two other brands it owns: Ferrari and Alfa Romeo. - RENAULT: The French automaker, popular with U.S. buyers, was only too gladto percent stake in American Motors Corp. to C and race home to tend to its domestic market. Chrysler's Eagle Premier sedan, inherited ii deal, still uses some Renault hardware, but that's only set of Renault fingerprints left in the counllJ - PONTIAC FIERO: Great concept - a rust-proof plastic car with its engine in the mi handling.

They are the black granite arms of the Wall, the Vietnam Memorial-sleek, statuesque, haunting, ambivalent. The Wall holds the names of 57,661 once lossed, once forgotten, once rejected, once living identities-a chronological roll call of soldiers killed in action in Southeast Asia between the years of 1959 and 1975. It gives comfort and meaning to the people who were involved in this ambiguous and seemingly pointless war. Comfort and meaning, but no answers. No answers to America's long sorry drama; her second most expensive and fourth deadliest war. Are answers out there to be found? Why were we there? What were our motives and objectives? Why were we interested in this sliver of land half a world away? Why did we enter, as Pete Seeger called it, the Big Muddy, and what caused us to push on? Vietnam was a unique war. It was the only war that America truly lost. It was also the first TV war. The horror, the reality, came into living rooms every night at six o'clock. Well, at least most of the reality did. There was still much happening behind the public's back, still much deception, still much uncertainty. There was a whole other battle, a battle between and over diplomats, rival ideologies, and political borders. This battle began in 1944. World War II was coming to an end, and the Allies were already contemplating the division of the post-war world. The war in the pacific was still raging on, though. The Japanese, for some time, occupied most of South East Asia, controlling the Dutch East Indies, Singapore, and Burma. They were also trying to maintain control of Indochina, but were facing heavy opposition from the French, who had controlled Indochina before the war. Indochina consisted of, among other countries, Vietnam, which was located, perhaps strategically, between mainland China, Burma, and the South Pacific. The French had occupied Vietnam for almost 100 years. Vietnam, which has a recorded history of more than 2000 years, has found itself in a continuous chronicle of resistence, most of the time against feudal China . Its history seems overpopulated with war, rebellion, and privation. As a result, its people, no doubt, have become tough, durable, and persistent. Among these people, one stands out: Nguyen That Thanh, better known to Americans as Ho Chi Minh. Ho was exiled from his country years before. During those years he had built up an army, an opposition, a corps of Vietnamese guerrillas who are seeking support for a country which used to be known as Vietnam. They are nationalists, and Ho is their leader; to them heis the essence of patriotism. Ho called his army the Vietman Doc Lap Dong Minn, or the League for the Independence of Vietnam. To the Americans it was known as the Viet Minh, a name they would soon hate and fear. The Viet Minh took refuge in the jungles and hills of North Vietnam. They lived primitavely, but existed. They spent most of their time building weapons in a factory powered by a waterwheel. They mastered the art of camoflouge and buill an intricate system of pathways, tunnels, and escape routes underground. Their goal was to drive out both the French and the Japenese from their country and establish a free Vietnam. In April of 1945, Major Archimedes Patti of the American OSS (later to become the CIA) was sent to Indochina. His purpose was to obstruct the Japenese, prevent or limit American tragedies in Southeast Asia, and to establish and intelligence network in the entire peninsula of Indochina. He also was sent their to meet an old, frail man with a wispy beard, wearing rice-mat sandals and baggy trousers. That man was Ho Chi Minh. Ho seemed to be Patti's best answer in solving the immediate problem of establishing relations in Indochina, and not the French. No one knew the land better than the Viet Minh. Americans soon found themselves joining forces, in small operations, with the Viet Minh, starting with operation Deer Team. Publically we were dealing with the French, but privately we were dealing with anyone we could. The Viet Minh soon seized power in Hanoi and celebrated Independence Day on September 2, 1945. The Americans were the only foreign government given a place of honor in the new Democratic Republic of Vietnam. The end of World War II brm,1ght political problems, territorial problems. Everyone wanted something. The Soviets made territorial demands in W estem Europe. What were the Americans to take? There was political chaos.

Was the sh;p tacked? The answers recognized Ho's republic. The French still were in Vietnam, and it didn't seem likely that they were going to allow the Vietnamese selfdetermination. The French-Vietnamese hostilities grew into full scale war. The Americans could not publically recognize Ho's republic because Ho had been known to deal with and be befriended by Comminist nations, and Americans were too engulfed · in anticommunism. This would upset the diplomatic standards. Also, America wasn't exactly thrilled with the French because of their desire to maintain imperialistic control over Indochina. But, nonetheless, diplomatic ethics sided us with the French. The next major act was to take place in a city in North Vietnam, a city surrounded by silent mountains inhabited by the Viet Minh. The city was Dien Bien Phu, and the battle that took place there marked the end of French control in Vietnam, but openeo the door for American occupation. The city provided an air strip and a major infiltration route for the French army. The French controlled the air and were confident. And Americans controlled the supply of air power to the French. They were American planes. Made with American money. Three billion dollars, eighty percent of the cost, had already been invested in Vietnam. On March 13, 1954, the siege begins. Air power was useless against guerrilla warfare. The Veit Minh moved closer, via trenches and tunnels, and 55 days later, on May 7, Dien Bien Phu fell, and the French control over Indochina ended. After the fall, there was a ninenation peace conference in Geneva which gave way to formal cease fire. It divided Vietnam at the 17th parallel: Ho Chi Minh' s communist north, with capitol Hanoi; and nowAmerican-supported anticommunist South, ruled by Ngo Dinh Diem in Saigon. The two halves were separated by a demili- tarized zone. The separation was supposed to be temporary and the two halves were supposed to be reunited two years later by national election. The elections never happened. The south was also dividing amongst itself. There was turmoil and upheaval. One reason was that Diem was a Catholic; most of South Vietnam was Buddhist. The Diem regime was repressive, and reguarded any dissent as treason. The U.S. still continued to supply advisors and militatry aid, and later militay personnel, but they were not happy with Diem. On November 1, 1963, the Diem regime was overthrown, he and his brother were assassinated, and the army officals seized power. Also that year American troops increasd from 900 to 16,300. Secretary of Defense John McNamara went to Saigon and publically affirmed American commitment. Meanwhile, two major events took place: the assassination of J.F.K. onl y three weeks after the overthrow of Diem, putting Johnson in power; and the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Many of these women go through periods of anorexia nervosa, in which they eat almost nothing. There is some disagreement as to whether bulimia and anorexia nervosa are two seperate disorders (which can effect the same women at different times), or whether they are simply two phases of one disorder. Either way, women who are suffering from these problems have an overwhelming need to be thin coupled with an inability to see themselves as anything but fat- even when the scale and the mirror demonstrate that they are nothing but skin and bones. They may suffer all the physical ills of starvation and, in the case of bulimics they may experience difficulties such as liver and kidney 7, 1989 problems directly and fearful of losing control, these young women binge and then purge as a substitute for coping or seeking help. Unfortunately, our society with its obsession with female thinness, subtly encourages bulimics' beliefs that the thinner they are, the more acceptable, desirea61e and lovable · they become. Counseling, family therapy and support groups can and do help, provided the bulimic can take the first tremendous step and seek help, and then make the even more difficult committment to go on with it. The process of confronting the disorder and attempting to change is one of the hardest things the young woman suffering with bulimia can do. Its unclear exactly how many bulimics there are in the United States; after all, this is a disorder thar is cloaked in secrecy. Researchers believe that there are at least 500,000, perhaps a million P.\GE Have you experienced the feeling that you are out of control in relation to your eating? Are you losing weight and experiencing intense fear of becoming fat or losing control? Do you feel fat when you are at normal weight or underweight? Answering "yes" to two or more of these questions may indicate the presence of problems with how you approach food and eating. If you are interested in learning more about eating disorders or would like to talk to someone in a private, confidential environment about difficulties you are having with eating, please contact Campus Counseling at ext. 4 732 to arrange for an appointment. Remember, eating disorders can change. By using counseling, support from family and friends, self-help support groups exercise and healthy nutrition recovery from an eating disorder is possible.

If this problem isn't checked in time, the individual with the eating disorder may die of starvation. H o w does a woman - often an attractive young girl in her teens - develop such a distorted pattern? No one knows for sure, but some professionals who work with women with eating disorders indicate that the following characteristics are often found in women experiencing bulimia/anorexia: -the individual, as a child, has some difficulty obtaining the attention of her parents who often are perfectionistic; -the individual grows up burdened with super high standards that she can never meet, leading to resulting feelings of worthlessness, depression and dissatisfaction with self; -women troubled with bulimia and anorexia are often frightened and unfulfilled; -the disorder may represent a fear of growing up or a sub-conscious rebellion against parents; -food is not the central problem in the disorder Unable to face their young women burdened by this disorser. One estimate is that 20 percent or more of all women on college campuses have had some experience of bulimia. If you have concern that you may be experiencing some type of disorder related to eating, answer the questions below as a method of determining whether such a disorder might be present: Is your life a series of constant diets? Do you vomit, take laxitives or diuretics (water pills)-to control your weight? Do you alternate periods of eating binges! and fasts to control your weight? · Does your weight fluctuate by as much as lOpoundsbecauseof your eating habits? Do you have "food binges" during which you eat large amounts of food in short periods of time? If you h~ve "binged" was it on high calorie foods such as ice cream, candy, cookies, or cake? Have you stopped a binge by vomiting, sleeping or experiencing pain? Do you think your eating habits are abnormal? Is your life dominated by thoughts of food? information call Campus Counseling or one of the resources listed below: NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA AND ASSOCIATED DISORDERS INC.

These demands can be physical demands such as running a race, lifting a heavy object, or walking up a flight of stairs. They can be the demands of a particular 11 situation such as a test or discussing a difficult subject with a friend. They can also be demands that we make of ourself through our thinking. When we tell ourself to "try harder" or "you have to do better", you are . imposing stress on ·yourself. We sometimes operate under the mistaken belief that all stress is bad for us. In fact, life without some stress, in the form of everyday challenges, would be quite boring. For example, the psyched-up feeling that you get prior to going into a test is useful stress. It helps us to get ready to face the task at hand and provides us with the encgry necessary to perform well. Some stress is beneficial, too much stress however, can be crippling. Many of us live lifestyles that are never ending sources of stress. We find that we never have enough time, are often angry, bitter or feeling as if our needs aren't being met, feel fatigued or physically ill, and are obsessed with achievement. These feelings, indicative of too much stress, call for an overhauling of the way we run our lives. Some of the ways we can help to reduce stress are learning to manage time more effectively, exercising regularily, learning to evaluate beliefs that increase our stress, and to take better care of our bodies. One of the ways that stress can be reduced is through diet. Some dietary steps to stress management include: -Eat three meals a day, especially breakfast. Give your body the fuel it needs to run efficiently. By eating . three regular meals, you develop a normal rhythm of food intake that your body can depend on, rather than stressing it by a hurried, irregular eating schedule. Additionally, by committing to eat three scheduled meals a day, you can have this time as a needed break from your hectic work pace. -Take a high quality vitamin/mineral supplement every day. A vitamin/mineral supplement is an easy, effective method of insuring that your die~y needs are met. The supplement should be high in Vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins, high in calciun, high in iron (especially for women), and not more than 150% of the U.S . Recommended Daily Allowance. -Monitor what you eat. Some recommendations for monitoring your diet include; try to eat more fiber; Limit the amounts of cholesterol and saturated fats in your diet; Don't salt your food and beware of foods with hidden salt; Avoid foods containing refined sugar; Monitor your use of caffeine and decrease it if needed; Increase how often you eat broiled or baked fish and raw vegtables. -If you drink alcohol, drink in moderation. Excessive use of alcohol may well be a symptom of too much stress. �PAGE 12 DECEMBER 7, 1989 Up to your ears? Dig yourself out with a deal on an IBM PS/2.

Chicago Bears - Very possibly the single t team in any sport in the '80s. These guys heveryone, suffering just a fluke loss to the They only gave up 10 points in the playoffs of '83 Philadelphia 76ers - What more can a team that only lost one game in the three ' playoff series of that year? This team came Malone's promise of 4-4-4, delivering 4-5-4, nod for 2. Detroit Tigers - This team ran roughshod Garvey-led Padres to win their title. Willie Hernandez copped both the Cy Young and MVP kl cap a season of dominance.

State Wolfpack) this team, led by the Phi Slamma Jamma connection of Clyde "The Glide" Drexler and Akeem "The Dream" Olajuwon, battered everyone on the way to their choke. O.K., we have established what individual teams will be remembered when the '80s are a distant blur. But what teams will be remembered for a decade of dominance? Professional football is the easiest to determine. After last year's victory ove-r the Bengals in the Super Bowl, the San Francisco 49ers earned the moniker of team of the '80s. The 49ers won three World championships as well as a mess of NFC West titles. Other teams worthy of notice are the Redskins who won 2 of 3 Super Bowls and the Bears, who won five NFC Central titles consecutively. Hockey and basketball weren't as easy to pick as football. The Edmonton Oilers garner our nod as top of the '80s in a squeaker over the New York Islanders. Although the Islanders took home 4 Cups in a row, the Oilers had possibly the best teams ever by putting Gretzky, Messier, Andersen, Fuhr, Kurri, Coffey, Mcs orley, Krusheylniski, and Tikkanen on the ice at the same time. In hoops we crown the Los Angeles Lakers as the team of the '80s in yet another squeaker over the Boston Celtics. The Lakers won five NBA titles in the '80s as compared to the Celts' three. Add to that the dominant teams of Magic, Kareem, Worthy, Cooper, and Scott. Baseball was the most difficult to pick a team for, but leave it to two opinionated fellows to choose one anyhow. For baseball's team of the we choose the St.. Louis Cardinals. ·ens The Cards reached the pinnacle of baseball success three times in the '80s and, despite only winning once, they remained at the top or contending, consistently. Other teams worth mentioning are the New York Yankees, who were the winningest team of the '80s, despite winning nothing more than an A.L. pennant in strike shortened 1981, and the A's, the dynasty in the making for the '90s. ' ,'83 New York Islanders - This team y-led Oilers home without the Cup in their doing so, they snared their fourth consecutive In the collegiate ranks we chose the best of the major sports, basketball and football. Miami Hurricanes (football) Future y bench-sitter Steve Walsh led his 'Canes to title with a resounding win over the Boz's · could be the most dominant college football In football, the best of the '80s played the most games in the Orange Bowl. No, not the Big 8 champs, the Miami Hurricanes. The Canes took two National Championships and narrowly missed two others as well as being the one team to snap Notre Dame's 23-game winning streak last month. Also receiving votes were the Penn State Nittany Lions, who won two National Championships and Oklahoma who won one and just missed another. Also mentioned in the deliberations were Augustana, Ill. In spite of their Division III status, they dominated by winning four National titles in a row. In basketball, the only real powerhouses of the '80s and therefore our only co-teams of the '80s, were Georgetown and North Carolina. Both won National crowns and were always at the top of the polls at the beginning and the end of the season. Those are the teams but who were the athletes that shaped the '80s? In reverse order, here are our Top 5 (plus 1) athletes of the decade. 6) Martina Navratilova No other women before her has ever dominated the tennis circuit like she has. (Look for Steffi Graf to have this position 10 years from now) 5) Ivan Lendt - See above, substitute man for woman and Boris Becker for Graf. 4) Jackie Joyner-Kersee - What more can be said about the best female track and field star since the legendary Babe Didrickson. No woman has dominated the modem pentathalon and the long jump like she has. 3) Joe Montana - The quarterback of the '80s for the team of the '80s. No one has ever lead a football team like Montana has. With the poise of Unitas, the arm of "Slingin' " Sammy Baugh, and the championship calibre of Bart Starr, this throwing wonder remains the best of his time. 2) Earvin "Magic" Johnson - Although Bird has more career points and Jordan looks to become better than both, Magic has been the most talented of the three for the '80s. Magic always has a great night, whether it comes in points, assists or one of the intangibles. That's what makes him great. 1) "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky - All this hockey player did to garner our athlete of the '80s was win eight Hart Trophy for the MVP in the NHL, won two Conn Smythe Trophys for the MVP of the Stanley Cup playoffs, scored more points in half the time than Gordie Howe, the most prolific scorer before The Great One, and he proved that one player can make a team by leaving Edmonton and turning the lowly L.A. Kings from pretender to contender. He is simply the greatest player to lace up the skates. It is a unique thrill to be able to watch the truly greatest ever, play his game. Now we know how our parents felt as they watched Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle, and Willie Mays play. The greatest moment in '80s sports? No contest, The Miracle on Ice. The 1980 U.S . Olympic hockey gold medal in which the Americans beat the Soviets 4-3, then, in anti-climax, beat Finland for the gold. It still inspires chills when someone says, in their best Al Michaels voice, "Do you believe in miracles? Yes!" That's sports in the '80s, lets hope for the same thing 10 years down the road. �PAGE 14 DECEMBER 7, 1989 Green Bay's Majkowski Wrestlers 6 Majik Packer Continued from page 16 Saturday night's match with Oregon State brought wrestlings biggest characters to the Marts Center. Hogan or Andre the Giant didn't show up, but 67 Oregon State head coach Dale Thomas did, only minutes before the match as usual. Thomas, irt his 34th men tor of the Pac-10 Beavers, is the sport's winningest coach with over 600 wins. by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor In Green Bay, number seven is always up these days. It's hard to keep the "Majik" man down. Y0u can shake him, but like a bottle of 7-UP, he's ready to explode once he is under pressure. Don Majkowski, otherwise known as "Majik," has brought a walloping wave of new-found enthusiasim to Green Bay, Wisconsin and Packer fans nationwide. The fourth-year quarterback has restored Super Bowl fever to a city that hasn't seen the big game since the late 60's. This season, the tcnlh-round pick out of the University of Virginia is astounding NFL audiences and critics with his star-quality statistics. He has thrown 20 touchdown passes and is cruising towards the 4000-yard plateau. Numbers are impressive, but leadership qualities are the most important properties an NFL quarterback must posess. The "Majik" man could become one of the all-time greats. He has the super stats and courageous confidence that exemplify the ideal pro signal-caller. Majkowski is currently snowballing the Packers in a furious flurry to plow into playoff contention in the NFC. Green Bay is tied atop the NFC Central with the Minnesota Vikings, both with an 8-5 record. Majkowski's powerful poise was felt two weeks ago by one of the best teams ever, the San Francisco 49crs. "Majik" rumbled into the endzone on a quarterback draw to give the Packers a 21-17 upset victory over last year's Super Bowl champs. · Once Majkowski was in the endzone he came to rest in a child-like position. Television cameras gave the world a glimpse of his memorable smile, one that was as broad and brilliant as the talents of Don Majkowski, the next multi-million-dollar quarterback in the NFL. "He is a real character," Reese said. "He wres 40 matches a year, which is much more than anybody takes his kids around the country and wrestles ten or straight nights. He only takes ten wrestlers with him. of them gets hurt, he puts them on the plane and se home and then flys another one in. He gets a lot mountain kids, and they are a diffrent breed.

It was much the same story against FDU as the Colonels used a high-pressure defense and fast-breaking offense to win their second straight game. However, against the patient Messiah Lady Falcons, the Lady Colonels dropped their second straight conference game. Wilkes was forced to play catch-up for most of the game and trailed 37-25 at halftime. Blake converted two free throws· to cut the deficit to 57-54 with 5:20 left, but it was as close as the Lady Colonels could come. "We didn't play good defense," said head coach Jodi Kest. "We were unable to adjust to their strengths and that hurt us. However, we showed some guts coming back but we just fell a bit short." Nicole Kovaleski was named to the ECAC honor roll for her play in the first two weeks of the year. The Lady Colonels head to the Eureka (NY) Tournament hoping to reverse their win-loss pattern. Two wins, one loss is not a comfortable situation for Kest's squad.

PAGE 7, 1989 "It's hard, but each player will see plenty of time," Kest said. "It's great because each . girl gives us a different look out there." If Kest calls on Zoka, she gets a great rebounder who can also score inside the paint on the offensive end. She started three of the first five games and is averaging seven ppg and six rpg. Zoka sees an advaotage to having three tough inside players. "It makes all of us work harder because we are all competing for the same spot," Zoka said. "Competition breeds success." Chinchar offers quickness and strong offensive rebounding. Technically a forward, she sometimes moves to the middle if the Lady Colonels are facing a shorter lineup. Chichar's stats are virtually identical to Zoka's, with seven ppg and 6.4 rpg. She is also shooting over 50 percent from the field. McGarry, who's an excellent passer, has started one contest this season, but she thinks that practices are are giving her as much experience as live games. "Practices are real competitive," she said. "It's almost like a real game sometimes. I think this (center competition) makes us stronger and tougher for games." So who does Kest start? Zoka, Chinchar or McGarry? One thing is for sure; Kest can't make a bad decision. �.

Both went back to their own neighborhoods a little beat up and minus some lunch money. ' · The Colonels (6-0) defeated Navy 27-12 Friday night before a packed and enthusiastic crowd and did likewise Saturday night in a convicing 31-10 decision over Oregon State. The roll continued with a 32-4 rout of Millersville last night at the Marts Center. Kurt Tamai registered a pin at 118 and the Colonels cruised. "If we go into Christmas at 7-0 we have a good chance at being nationally ranked," said head coach John Reese. Tamai also started the evening on the right foot against Navy for the Colonels with an impressive 10-1 win. Greg Schaefer was then pinned by Mark Smith to put the Colonels in the hole, 6-4. But senior Ron Miller proved to be the spark plug. , Trailing 3-1, Miller came back to defeat Kelly Downs, 7-6. "Ron's match was the real key," Reese said. "We thought that in order to beat Navy we would have to win the close bouts. When Ron came from behind to win he set the stage and the crowd really got involved. We were trailing in four matches and we wound up winning three and tying one. Winning the close ones was definitely the key." The Colonels also got a big win from Mike Froelich at 142, a pin by Mike Schroat at 150, and a key tic from Merrel Neal at 167 to help the grapplers sink Navy.

Last Thursday, they were nailed by King's, 91-77 in the Marts Center. They were also dealt an 84-64 loss by FDU-Madison on Saturday. And here it was midway through the first half of Monday night's home game with Messiah and the Colonels found themselves down 30-15. A dying team was breathing its last. Then Joe Natale brought a roster to life. The freshman center scored all of his fifteen points in the second half as the Colonels (4-3, 3-2 in the MAC) hit an amazing 18 of 21 shots in the second 20 minutes and blew out the Falcons, 90-76. "We had to be more patient on offense and I kept telling the kids that at halftime," said head coach Ron Rainey. "The difference was like night and day. Everyone saw what we could do when we we take our time." Tom Doughty shoots from the line against King's photo by Donna Yedlock Natale, who's averaging approximately 14 points per game, is starting to become an integral part of the Colonels' offensive gameplan.

WILKES-BARRE - The Wilkes Board of Trustees established six new Trustee Scholarships to celebrate the school's change in academic status. These scholarships, including the current six , will provide full tuition for entering the freshman recipients class for their four years. The twelve scholarships, however, will be offered only for that freshman class in order to commemorate university status. After 1990, the scholarships will return to six. Eligibility is determined by the following guidelines: that the student be in the top five percent of his or her graduating class, attain 1200 in the SAT, submit an outstanding 500 word essay on a topic of his or her choice and two letters of recommendation from his or her High School teachers, and interview successfully with the Trustee Scholarship Selection Committee.

"We are abolishing the nine and five meal plan because of the new contract made with Wilkes," says Joe McDonough, manager of the snack bar. The second revision is that the dinner equivalcncy, or ID purchase, meal t.ime will end at 8 p.m. The third revision is that no packaged brand name products such as Lance, Tastykake, and bottled sodas will not be available on the equivalency program. "This isn't fair," says senior Alisa Geller. According to Denny Drezck, head of Morrison's Custom Management, the equivalency program was originally formed for athletes who miss dinner because of practice, but there was a misunderstanding oC the system.

This included a rather involved menu, starting with h'orsdouvers like large tomato things and fat bacon-like-type-jiggers or: toothpicks that were incredibly difficult to eat. The students then learned correct spoon-in-the-soup technique and how to cut your food without sending it across the table. This was practiced upon tiny, bony cornish game hens. One then learned how to remove those bones from one's mouth. The highlight of the evening was when the students d~bated on what to do with the finger bowls. Throughout the course of the meal, students were encouraged to bring forth questions before the Breiseths and Carl and Susan Charnetski who gave their advice and discussed their own awkward situations.

'.;~&;· .MAD RAMBLINGS '·,: by Lee Morrell As in the past., Jim, Tom and I saw a different world then what we were accustomed to in our sheltered Valley. To compare Public Square to Bourbon Street would be like comparing Earth to Pluto. Simply stated, there is no foreseeable comparison between the two. To four"Valley boys," (we must include our compadre, from The King's College Crown, Mike "Bridget" Leary) this step into "Sin City" was like night and day. But New Orleans isn't all Sin City. It isn'tjusl the b~s on Bourbon Street. It houses one of the largest seaports along "Old Man River," the grand Mississippi. It is a city of age and beauty, which was seen by the timeless architecture of the French Quarter and the Garden District. IL is a city of lights far brighter than any other-we had ever seen. We witnessed the beauty and diversity from our 36t.'1 floor room looking out over the French Quarter as well as during our jounts in and out of the city. New Orleans, just like every other city in. the country has its problems with the homeless. This was something that we, sadly enough, were accustomed to. Not on -this scale, however. It brings a tear to your eye to see colonies of homeless people camped out in a set-back storefront. It brings a tear to your eye to see the city's talented handicapped resorting to begging for pennies in between saxophone solos. On the funny side, we will always remember the image of Mike blending into the spirit of the city by "becoming" a street comer preacher for a day. It was a chance for Jim and I to convince a number of people that we were actually in town for a try-out with the hometown football Saints. Don't believe us, just ask Theresa Gross, USAir stewardess. To the many old friends that we saw again (Chuck, MB, Liza, Tamara, and South Dakota) and the friends we missed (Ruthanne, Jay, Boomer, the NKU Babes, and Father Patrick) it was a chance to reflect on memories. To our new friends (The new crews from South Dakota and Cleveland) it was a chance to establish new contacts and create new memories. And for the four "Valley Boys," it was a chance to bring Wilkes (and King's) to the world. The Beacon Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 VOL.

He played Anton Schill, an aging store owner in the town of Giillen, Germany. Johansen played on fear perfectly evoking emotions of audience pity. The play was a moderate success due to the outstanding performances of the play's cast. The actors in The Visit had Lo support a play that had litlle to no scenery for a great deal of the performance. One obvious 11aw in the scenery was that the audience always had a full view of the back wall of the CPA. In past plays at Wilkes a curtain was usually present in front of the cement menace. that appeared at the beginning and the end of the play was perfectly conceived and constructed. The balcony that hoisted Maureen O'Hara in a position of power was also a highlight in the limited entourage of scenery. However, additions were still necessary for a more potent play.

Fox's acting is equally inviting as he has found a role, other than Alex in Family Ties, that fits his physical and mental stature. There were other innovations that were interesting enough to note.

The way the Wilkes women's basketball team has been going thus far this season, they could be headed for a lot of wins and maybe an MAC championship. The reasons arc simpler than the cliche': center Nicole Kovaleski and guards Lorrie Pctrulsky and Denise Carson. The trio has been the main cog in the Lady Colonels' early-season success, which includes the championship of the Drew University tournament. "We are off to a great start," said head coach Jodi Kest. "We.won our first tournament since I've been here. They were also two big wins because they were on the road. They will help us get some confidence for our tough MAC rivalries coming up." "It was really nice to win the Drew Tournament," said MVP Kovaleski. "We played pretty well together and hopefully we will gel better as the season goes along." "Nicole is just picking up where she left off last year," Kest said. "That's obvious by her MVP in the tournament and her game against Lycoming (a career high 26-point effort in a 85-74 road loss last week). One way to explain the continued success of Kovaleski has been sophomore Lorrie Pctrulsky, whose outside shooting has prevented teams Basketball Continued from page 11 rebounding. We allowed ten second shots in the second half of the Drew game. You can't win regularly and do that." The Colonels picked up their first conference win on November 21 by drubbing Lycoming, 82-60. "We were up 44-21 at halftime and it's not too often you do that at Lycoming," Rainey said. "We played a great ballgame. "Now we've got to establish ourselves at home." Just keep Joe Natale away from from the backboards. stop our inside game, Lorrie can hurt them outside." from totally blanketing Kovaleski. 'Umia is shooting extremely well from the outside," Kest said. "She has really improved her overall game. She is passing the ball much better and her defense has improved from last year. The thing about Lorrie is she is a real competitor, she puts a great demand on herself. If she makes 9 out of ten shots, she gets upset about that one miss, she expects that much." Petrulsky, who came off the bench most night!; last year and provided the Lady Colonels with instant offense, is enjoying her role as a starter this year. "It's a·lot easier being a starter this year compared to lasLyear," said Pctrulsky. "This year I'm not afraid anymore and shooting from the outside better. Petrulsky has hit for 8, 17, and 15 points in her first three _games and says "I'm playing the best I've ever played." "Lorrie hitting from the outside is real important for us," said Kovaleski. "If teams try to pack it in to Petrulsky, a psychology major from Catholic High School and a resident of Ta also patrols centerfield for the nationally• Colonels softball team. But basketball is that grabs her heart. "I probably like basketball better,' "The season is longer and the play is more i softball, you wind up just standing around can be boring just standing around out centerfield sometimes." So far this season on the hardwood, wringing up 13.3 points a game and is I team with 13 assists. She is also shooting the charity stripe. "If Lorrie keeps working hard and p she could be a great player for us by the time is over," Kest said. "She is doing a great but she has to continue working hard becalll always room for improvement." The third cog that has the Lady Col along is point guard Denise Carson, who is ten points a game. "Denise does a good job the ball and running the offense for Kovaleski. "She is also a good scorer."

Will it be the Steelers who lost 51-0 and 41-10 i.n their first two games of the season? Or will it be a Steeler team that ha:; jolted winning franchises like Minnesota, Cleveland and Miami. This is a squad that epitomizes the parity in the NFL this year, a 6-6 ballclub that majntains a points for/against ratio ;:,fa team that is 2-10. This week, the Steelers host Houston in what has turned out to be a key AFC Central Division game. Pittsburgh is still contending for the division title as well as a wild card spot. Bubby Brister is developing into a top AFC quaterback with outstanding leadership qualities. His rating is only around 75.0, but he gets the jog done similar to the manner Doug Williams did when he was at Tampa Bay. Cornerback Rod Woodson has starred on special teams in 1989. He has returned one kickoff for 66 yards and another for an 89-yard touchdown against San Diego. Earlier in the season there was a lot of talk about Coach Chuck Knoll being fired. Fans didn't think his conservative approach to the game would work in the 1990's. Now the fans find themselves having to be conservative about their thoughts on Knoll, at least until they see the resuls of this year and perhaps even next year. " re sche gley eB uca ~ e �NOVEMBER 30, 1989 Colonels start fast uits by Jim Clark Beacon Spons Edi/or MADISON, NJ - Talk about the change a year can produce. The Colonels basketball team, comfortable in its own facility after spending the beginning of last year in the role of nomad, has raced to a 3-1 mark to start the season. In a bit of sweet irony, the Colonels (2-0 in the MAC) were forced to switch Monday's scheduled home contest with Drew to the Rangers' home court because of a shattered backboard. That's three suicides, Joe Natale. The 78-76 win his team pulled out sat well with head coach Ron Rainey. "That's a typical reaction from this ballclub," he said. "To go and get a conference win on the road on such short notice tells you something. "This team has been showing some tenacity. The overall play from top to bottom, offensively and defensively, has been excellent. "We could be 4-0, but I'll take 3-1. We have to because that's where we're at." Senior Dave Argentati is also satisfied with the Colonels' performance. "Everything's going really well," he said. "We're jelling. The King's game (tonight at 8 p.m. at the Marts Center) is big for us. We feel pretty good right now." Rainey agrees. "We won some close games and we're gaining confidence," he said. "The game with King's is big in all aspects. It's a city game and, more importantly, it's a conference game." Senior forward Tom Doughty scored 16 points and collected 14 rebounds in the victory over Drew. •"Tommy's producing for us," Rainey said. "He had six assists in that game also. He's doing everything we expect. "Our starting five is coming through. Ray Ott's doing a great job at the point distributing the-ball. Jimmy Nolan's always a scoring threat. Dave Argentali is sticking three-pointers and Joe Natale is rebounding and blocking shots. "We've just got to build some depth and get consistency in ncls to a ranking of tion in 1987.

Kest was able to get a look at an abundance of talent at the center spot. Missy Chinchar, Krista Zoka and Colleen McGarry have all seen time. "That position can turn out to be a real strong spot for us," Kest said. "We have three players there with plenty of potential.

With the quiet criticism mounting, he settl ed the situation by resigning on November 17, his final line reading eight years and a 25-51-1 record. A timeIy change of course had arrived. Although he may be only the transitional cog in the Wilkes footbaJl program, interim head coach Greg Burton has a clear vision of how the sinking ship can be ri ghted. "It's all in the hands of the administration," he said. "Who they pick to be head coach is going to determine the direction of Wilkes football. They should choose a top-notch football person and try to get everything pointed toward regaining the status Wilkes had in the late 60's.· "If they fill it for the sake of filling it, then what they say about wanting to make a change isn't true." The whole USA is now the ocean in which athletic director John Reese and his five-man search committee will fi sh for a brave soul to face the rigors of the MAC and fill the stands of Ralston Field, disturbingly stark in recent seasons. Burton, fresh off his first season with the Colonels and guaranteed at least a full -time assistant's spot again next year, brought a taste of excellence to the Wilkes coaching staff with him from national champion Ithaca. Yet he understands the tenuous nature of his appointment. "Right now, 'interim' is exactly what it is," he said. "My application is going to be among those reviewed. My job now is to recruit and I just have to be honest and tell kids what my status is. "Everything is so dependent upon whether they give the new coach a free hand in regards to choosing assistants and if the administration is making an honest effort to get the best possible person." According to Burton, whomever assumes the reins will find a gold mine. "This team is so young. You have to expect a transitional year and take into account whether or not a new coach is going to bring in a new offense or defense, but the prospect of something new will produce a lot of enthusiasm among the players. "Bill (Unsworth) did a great job in preparing these guy s. It's too bad he won't be here to reap the benefits. These guys are just puppies." Despite that endorsement from Burton, Unsworth, who is in the process of searching for another collegiate coaching job but wilr remain an assistant dean of admissions until May, felt it was time to part ways. "There were a lot of reasons for me coming to to that conclusion, but those arc between President (Christopher) Breiseth and me," he said. "Basically, I consider my eight years a success. For me, Wilkes was more than football games, it was about people. I'd like to think I had a positive effect on people's lives." Unsworth reiterated his claim that potential seeps from the Colonels roster. "There's talent there. It all . --------- boils down to the players and how they prepare themselves !!nd work in the offseason regardless of who the new coach is. "I don't even want to conjecture about the future of Wilkes football. Like everyone else, I'm just an interested observer." So arc the players. "It's a little tough to sit back and wait because we don't know who our coach is going to be next season," said safety Tom McFadden, who will be a senior next year. "There will be excitement, but you wonder whether he's going to install a new offense and defense and how difficult it's going to be." Will the returnees be required to prove themselves again? "Not if the new coach watches films and talks to this year's assistants or Coach Unsworth. I think he will look to the seniors for leadership." The committee of Reese, Phil Wingert, Rollie Schmidt, Paul Adams, James Rodcchko and Dean Ambosie is hoping to select its man by January 15 to salvage a semblance of a recruiting class. "We're going to take all applications and determine a top ten," Reese said. "Then we'll eventually determine a top three and interview them. We're lookiHg for someone who knows the college scene. They have to realize that this is Division III and know that the MAC is a tough conference." But finances may cause a problem. "I don't know whether we can pay on the level that can lure the caliber of person we're looking for," Reese said. "The l ocker Room mentioned something last week about me kicking more money into the football program. That's not my money to give. It comes from the administration. I realize that we have to fix up our field and press box and things of that sort, but the school had other projects to fund . Hopefully, we can get more money in the future. Maybe the football alumni can get involved with some traditions" Though he refuses to comment, Reese reportedly has targeted Wyoming Seminary's Marv Antinnes, a '61 Wilkes graduate, as a top choice for the position. "John Reese and I have talked about it, but it hasn't gone past that," Antinnes said on Tuesday. "I haven't made up my mind whether or not I'm going to apply. I'm still weighing many factors."

The college is refurnishing an old apartment house into a new residence hall which will be called Rifkin Hall. The new residence hall, located at 80 South River Street between Catlin Hall and Sterling Hall, will offer a new dimension of comfort to Wilkes. Each room in the hair will offer its own bathroom, kitchen, stove, sink, and refrigerator, as well as all new furniture. The set-up is similar to that of Flood Hall at King's College, with the exception that Flood Hall was recently constructed rather than renovated. This new residence hall also is more safety conscious than the regular apartment buildings. It offers alarm systems, fire exits, new wiring, and more than one entrance.

The first thing that must be answered is "the question of finding the money to fund the project." Furthermore, the planning for the project is only in its beginning stages, according to President Breiscth. The Sordoni Art Gallery contains2000square fcctofspace. The new area will boast 12,000 square feet of exhibition space-six times the gallery's current size. The new gallery will support a multitude of purposes. It will provide space for temporary exhibits from both Wilkes and King's Colleges. It will will serve as an exhibit space for Wilkes' permanent collection, which is currently shown only several times a year due to a lack of adequate space. It may contain an auditorium for increasingly popular art lectures, and it will be an asset to the Wilkes Art department as a viewing space for art classes. "It wasn't nearly as complicated as the work we did on Barre Hall," says Paul O' Hop, vice president of Business and Auxiliary Affairs. Despite all these comforts, there are a few inconveniences: When the I house was purchased, the tenants of the apartments whose leases extended past July 6, were allowed to stay by agreement, until the end of October, but there are still a few tenants left in the building. Also, there is no laundry room. "We are hoping the laundry room will be in place by November 15," says O' Hop. Until then, the Rifkin men will have to do their laundry in Sterling Hall, and the women will have to do tbeir laundry in either Catlin Hall or McClintock Hall. Other apartments will be painted and upgraded as soon as possible as soon as the remaining tenants move out of the building. Once all renovations are complete on the hall, the college will be ready for its dedication, which is tentatively scheduled for University Week in February.

Unfortunately, the administration could not overcome political infighting in the School of Business and Economics to retain Mr. Croop. Another tragedy for Wilkes' students is Professor Rose Cordora' s decision to leave the school, partly for the mishandling of Mr. Croop. I feel the matter boils down to this: What kind of an educational institution would allow two of its best teachers leave? The only answer I can think of is that Wilkes College does not place its highest emphasis upon the education of the students. Jeffrey Morton Class of 1990 I b rience multi-national flavor ternational Wilkes Faculty and Alumni reason I was invited is an International Studies gon that evening now, this little gathering had sunilarities to the large pted to make a little ting to know anyone I insisted that a friend, ,n F hman with the same along with me.

My friend and I we couldn't wait to for people who have a with other cultures are enjoy being lost in the midst of a group of foreigners, an experience most people would avoid. In addition to the cultural aspect of this event, I realized how accurately it reflected the demographic and political realities of the world, also. The large majority of our foreign students are from the Asian continent, and with over a billion Chinese people and nearly a billion Indian people (those being just the two largest Asian countries), I suppose that is very appropriate. In fact, my minority status holds true not · only at a Wilkes foreign student gettogether, but on the Planet Earth. This fact is something that white racists and American supremacists view with dismay, but to me it is a reminder of the need for more emphasis on inter-cultural cooperation, instead of uni-cultural domination, which is still the hope of many Americans today. Well, after thirty minutes in one spot, both my stomach and my spirit were geting restless. My friend and I decided to venture out of what was, both literally and figuratively, our little comer of the world. As we reached the cheese and crackers, a professor we knew introduced us to a Chinese student. Though it took effort to understand his English (as another friend told me, it is a physical activity to listen to foreign students-can I take this as a *How oo I PE activity?), it was certainly worth it This student, a native of Shanghai, made us realize how fortunate we are in the U.S. when he told us how one was never sure of getting his/her mail in China, as it is always opened and scrutinized by the authorities. He would like to remain in the U.S ., because it is "freer" here. A conversation with a Lebanese student again proved what sheltered lives Americans of my generation have led. When I asked him if there was ever shelling in his home town in the north of Lebanon, he told me rather nonchalantly, yes, but you "just hide" when it happens. A lot of cheese, crackers, and conversations later, the party was over, and it was time to take my no longer apprehensive self back to the dorm. After meeting with such a group of delightful people, I was in one of those idealistic "world peace and harmony" moods, and I couldn 'thelp wondering why the U.S. is so reluctant to share its good fortune with the underdeveloped nations of the world. But I don ' t worry about it too much, because I know that those countries have the human intelligence and talent to achieve prosperity and freedom. And maybe, just maybe, they will be more generous when they do. GET HEARD· AT WILKES? t\ USE THE BEACON OF COURSE. HE BEACON IS YOUR STUDENT NEWSPAPER, YOUR VOICE, YOUR WAY OF Frosh elections net· real winners I - t's nice to finally see a change in the one facet of Student Government that has bothered me from the first time I stepped on campus. I am talking about the incredible turn-out for this year's fre~hman class elections. It's not just the voter turn-out which was a whopping 163 frosh, 100-plus more than the most votes cast in the semester's first election - but the competition sparked in all races. This year's frosh elections had races for all of the positions - except _treasurer- with president and vice-president having four an~ ~1ve pe~ple running, respectively. This 1s amazu~g for an organization that has in the past, c~m~ clos~ to _pul~mg people off the street to fill positions. If this 1s anr md_1cat1on, the freshman class i~ in for some very encouragmg times . . Th_e class's leadership has been chosen by the students, which 1s the wonderful part of democracy and the democratic process. What the non-winners - we don't call tham losers - need to remeber is that, just like the one for our own president (Mr. Bush, not Dr. Breiseth) there will be another election. At that tim~ it is up t? the_voters to decide whether they feel that the person m office 1s domg the best job for them. If not then they must select a new leader; one who will represent what the people want. So I implore you, non-winners. Don't give up. One set-back should not mean the end of your political career. Run ag~n next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Give yo~r fellow classmates a choice, something that the pr~sent sem?r class, beyond the freshman year, did not have (no disrespect mtended Jim, -LSM). It is the duty of the pres~ ~s watchdogs to keep an eye on what government does, but 1t ts your duty as one who wished to be part of that system to do somethi ng when it is wrong. A nether encoura~ing thing that happened in those elections was the_ fantastic voter turn-out. It is further proof that apath y 1s not as much the problem that it has been. In some of last year's elections, SG would have been lucky to get 30 people out to the polls. For the freshman electfons there were 163 people, which translates to about one-third of the entire class. Although the numbers_ aren't staggering, they are incredibly encouraging. If_th1s class can set the standard for freshman classes to come It becomes a distinct possibility that Beacon editorial and commentary writers will remain out of the hair of SG. So to those who came out with the most votes congratulations and serve your classmates well. ' To those who came up short - the non-winners - "if at first you don't succeed,"-.- and you didn't - "try, try again ." To those who put their two-cents-worth in continue to vote, and bring your friends next time. ' And finally, to those at Student Government congratulations on a good, strong, and fair electi;n. You are to be commended for your efforts. However, the real winner after all of the ballots have been counted and the results are posted is Wilkes and its student body. And the loser is apathy. -LSM F.SSING ANY FEELING TO THE CAMPUS AND BEING SURE THAT IT 1S GOING TO GET THERE. EACCEPT AND EXPECT LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, BUT NEVER SEEM TO GET THEM. SILENT VOICES CAN 1T BE HEARD. So, How Do I GET HEARD AT WILKES? THE BEACON! Thumbs up: go to Michael Nolfe and Karen Donohue for their diligence in counting, and re-counting, and re-counting, and re-counting, ad infinitum, until all of the election results were correct. Thumb~ down: go to whomever is responsible for the woodchtps on the Evans basketball court. So much for Indian Summer. �PAGE6 NOVEMBER 16, 1989 Visit The Visit this weeke by Michele Broton Beacon Feature Editor Man's greed and his insatiable lust for "worldl y gain" manifest themselves through some rather horrifying circumstances in the small, Central European town ofGi.illcn.

Show times will beat 8 run. on Friday and Saturday, '.\iovembcr 17 and I 8, and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, November 19. A prc\'iew performance will be shown at 8 p.rn. on Thursday, November 16. Heading the cast as Claire Zachanassian is a veteran of the Wilkes stage, Maureen O'Hara. A senior theatre manor, O'Hara has starred in numerous productions throughout the past three years. Her roles have varied from a glamorous dreamer to an inmate at an insane asylum to an award winI ning author. Among her most wellknown accomplishments arc Dreamgirl and The Gales of March. Playing opposite O'Hara as the disillusioned shopkeeper, Anton Schill, is Rob Johansen. Having performed in nearly every show at Wilkes since his arrival here two years ago, Johansen's name has become synonymous with a quality and highly entertaining performance. The pompous Burgomaster is portrayed superbly by Dave Zimmerman. Jason Dclcampe appears as the Pastor and Chris Collins plays the Policeman. Paul Ellis makes is first Wilkes appearance as. the Teacher, and Frau Schill is The cast of The Visit takes a break. played by sophomore, Gail Stone. Claire Zachanassian's entourage includes David Pcuy as Bobby and Jim Evans as Pedro. The two blindmcn, Cobby and Lobby, are played by Tim Trach, a sophomore at Kings, and Tom Griffith, a Wilkes senior. Sonny Faulscit and Choo Oh, from Penn State, play the two bodyguards, Mike and Max. The remaining townspeople include: Brian Boone (the Son), Kathleen Merges (the Daughter), Jamie Kurtz (First Man), Ashley Kruger (First Woman), Melanie O'Donnell (Second Woman), John Farrell (the Stationmaster), Jennifer Summa (Reporter) and Barbara Zardus (Cameraman). The two grandchildren are portrayed by Bridget O'Brien, a King's student, and Amy Basham. Bob R9binson, a WilkesBarre businessman,joins the cast as Have you ever wondered just what it takes to be a - theatre major? Well, Maureen O'Hara and Rob Johansen can give you an idea of some of the exertion that is necessary to succeed in the theatrical business. O'Hara, from Norristown , Pennsylvania, is a senior Theatre/English major who will be receiving her certification to teach secondary education. Presently O'Hara is the president of the Cuc-n-Curtain and resident leading lady at Wilkes. In addition to her involvement in Wilkes/Kings theatre, O'Hara auditions for community shows. This past summer, she starred in a children's production of Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarves, and she played Aladdin's mother in Aladdin and the Magic Lamp. Acting isn't all that O'Hara likes to do; she is a member of the Manuscript Society and tutors at the Writing Center. In addition, she "loves directing." She directed a one act play last year for her directing class, and truly enjoyed the experience.

Even if she isn't accepted into the conservatory, O'Hara would love to spend the summer in England. Johansen is a senior Theatre/Communications major from Narrowsburg, New York. Once he graduates, Johansen would like to move to New York City and get a night job. D.uring the days, he plans to audition. He says, "Hopefully in ten or twenty years, I'll get something." Presently, he is involved with community_productions in addition to the shows at Wilkes. In addition, he is a member of the Cue-n-Curtain and the Speech and Debate Team. Johansen is also a Resident Assistant. · Writing is an important part of Johansen's life, although it is strictly for personal pleasure. When asked where he sees himself twenty years .from now, Johansen replied , "Hopefully, I'll still be auditioning. The only think that I hope will change is that, twenty years from now, casting directors will know who I am." The Theatre major at Wilkes is much more than just a "blow off" major. Maureen O'Hara and Rob Johansen are perfect examples of the dedication and stamina required to put out a quality production. ................, !• Bo_dQo l rr • aves: : ~ : ♦ ,,1111:1 :!II I ' : ♦ ♦ • • : ♦ ♦ : : ♦ ♦ ' 1 ♦ .. ♦ A FULL SERVICE HAIR ♦ CENTER FOR ♦ :tvlEN AND WOMEN : ♦ Tanning Special ♦ $35.00 For 15 Sessions : With College I.D. : ♦ ♦ 25 W.

She is now studying for her P.H.D. at Penn State. Sanchez was also a visiting assistant teacher at Bucknell University for one year. Sanchez has always liked teaching English as a Second Language and did for ten years. She also has directed plays and taught drama in Puerto Rico. Therefore Sanchez's major is the study of Spanish American Poetry and Literature. Sanchez decided on being a teacher because her mother, father, aunt, and uncle were all of their lives. Her father was her first teacher. He would leave the classroom and Sanchez would be in charge. That is when she knew she would become a teacher. "My father was my role model and he was a great one!" Someone who helps Sanchez out a great deal is Christina Perez who is a freshman at Wilkes. Christina meets with Sanchez ' s students for one hour of coversation. Christina, who is from San Sebastian, Northern Spain, talks to the students about her life in San Sebastian. Sanchez replied, "I feel Christina is letting the students know a little bit more about the culture of Spain." Sanchez has also had guests to talk to the students. Mrs. Elia Alonso came and spoke about modem Spain. Mario Garriga, who is cuban, is a student at Wilkes. Garriga showed slides of Southern Spain when he was a tourist guide. The first meeting of the Spanish Club will be November 29th at the Alumni House. Paella will be the dinner served at 6:00. Officers will also be selected at the meeting. Sanchez hopes to take the club to New York to see a play. Her own goal is to direct a play in Spanish. Sanchez stated, "I want to promote Spanish and make it grow. I feel I will inspire the students about the culture of Spain by the trips we take. Everyone should be exposed to different cultures.

The Colonels prod uced a 15-play, 73-yard drive to open · last Saturday's ugly 45-3 loss to Lycoming. Mick Dungan's 25- yard fie ld goal split the posts and the Colonels he ld a brief 3-0 lead. As the Wilkes offense stormed downfie ld , Lycoming was quick to call timeout and gather the defensive unit as a whole on the sideline.

Use your horses on <!very play. Come on! This is Wilkes! Ouch. The Warriors snapped out of their doldrums and buried the Colonels by the end of the first quarter. Wilkes' 1-9 record will bruis.e a few egos and a 3-19 record over its last 22 games will remove the luster from a football program, too. What's wrong, Unsy? "We had a lot of young players. We have talented kids, but they're young. You don't win with sophomores, especially in the MAC. "I said at the beginning of the season that we might have a worse record than last year but a better team, and that was the case." He's not blowing smoke. Take it from someone who's seen 19 of the last 20 contests. This edition of the Colonels had members who were more dedicated, more team-oriented, and hungrier than some of the cocky individuals that littered the 1988 squad. So what's wrong, Aubin Scvrin? "We're missing nastiness. We'll have a great week of practice and then for some reason, we can't carry it into the game. I don't know what it is." Neither does Unsworth. "I can't explain it," he said. "A lot of that has to do with being a young football team. If you have confidence in yourself, you tend to let it all hang loose. Seniors tend to play that way. "When you're tentative, you hurt yourself. The players didn't show consistency. You need that to win. They showed improvement, but not consistency." Players-of-the-year? Defensively, junior safety Tom McFadden grabbed seven interceptions and added solid tackling to an improved secondary. Junior Brian DeAngelo assumed the setback chores on offense -after Dean Ambosie went down and looked every bit as good or better. He ran wild in the Colonels' lone win at Wesley, setting a school record with 227 yards. Unsworth saw promise in the season. "It was frustrating not to see these guys win," he said. "They were a good group and there is promise." Hey Unsy, how about: 1.) Running the ball about 10 more times a game. The aforementioned 15-play march ate up just 3:30 on the idt~J- I[ 3.)

"After Mike, we are very thin at 158," Reese said. "Mike will be one of our main threats all year, and if he could drop to 150 at the end of the year, he would have a great shot at winning the Nationals." The 167-pound bout probably had the most interesting side note of the night. It featured roommates of two years Willie Carano and Merrel Neal. It saw little offense and was won by Neal 2-0. "They both waltzed around for the most part out there," Reese said. "Neither is a true 167-pounder. Willie came down from 177 and Merrel lifted a lot of weights and bulked up from 158. They will both have to become more aggresive if they are going to win any matches for us." The 177-pound bout featured the night's only pin. Or did it? "I thought it was a really quick call," said Charlie Keyes after he pinned Aaron Tufankjian with one minute left in the first period. "I didn't think it was a pin." Reese will, however, be hoping for such impressive results from Keyes later on in the season. "Charlie is more relaxed and confident this year," he said. "He looks much better and is going to be tough to beat. "We are really high on Aaron, though. He was undefeated in high school. I felt sorry for him because it was a fast pin call." The 190-pound match saw Aaron's brother Dearon fall to last year's incumbent Ray Mendoza. "Ray was like Charlie last year, he was tentative," Reese said. "He did a lot of wrestling at the New York Athletic Club this summer. He is physically put together and he takes his wrestling very serious. Dearon also improved a lot. He was sick for the match but he is a good hard worker." Steve Schannauer (top) wrestles Darren Hack Up-tempoContinued from page 12 away." Kest, while excited, is still wary of her team's youth. "After our season last year, people may expect us to come out and dominate," she said. "But we have a young team and it may take some time to jell. We don't have one dominating player, but we have eight or nine who can score at any time." The Lady Colonels open their campaign at the Drew Tournament (November 18, 19) and make their first appearance at home on November 30 against Baptist Bible. Don't be surprised to ~ee them come of age early in the season and eventually return to the postseason. Their youth may be rewarded. SHARPEN YOUR COMPETITIVE The heavyweight match saw three-year starter Steve Schannauer defeating freshmen Darren Hack. "I think Darren was a little nervous," Reese said. "He usually gives Steve a better match in practice. But Steve is probably the best heavyweight in the East. If he controls his emotions and wrestles under control instead of flying around out there, he will stay out of trouble. He is in better shape than most heavyweights, is a lot quicker, and now he has the experience." The Colonels will open their season Saturday at 10 a.m. as they host the Wilkes tournament. "This team has a good blend of experience and underclassmen. We are together a lot and that helps us win close matches. We are hosting the eastems this year and we have good chance at winning them."

After a season which ended with appearances in both the MAC and ECAC playoffs, the Wilkes Lady Colonels basketball team have left themselves with a tough act to follow this year. However, they will start the campaign on a mission to improve last year's succcess. Head coach Jodi Kest enters her fourth season at the helm of a very young team . "We have only one upperclass player on the team (junior co-captain Nicole Kovaleski) along with seven sophomores and six freshmen," she said . "We're a little on the green side." Kovaleski ( 13.2 ppg and 9.5 rpg in '88-'89) agrees. "We have a talented team, but we're young and inexperienced," she said. The junior forward is the Lady Colonels' bread-and-butter. Kovaleski shot 57.7 percent from the field, good enough for tenth in the nation. "Nicole's the kind of player who takes charges, dives for loose balls and hustles for the entire game," Kcst said. "She docs all the things it takes to win." Sophomore point guard Denise Carson (9.1 ppg, 3.1 assists pg), the other co-captain, will again direct the Lady Colonels' up-tempo offense. "She's our quarterback out there," Kcst said. "She runs the show offensively and controls the tempo of the game. When she's playing well, the team usually performs well." Sophomore Lorrie Petrulsky (9.7 ppg) will provide the three-point range she found last year. She hopes the tongh offscason regimen Kest adopted will pay huge dividends. "The training was tough," she said. "But I think the lifting and running helped us get in great shape for the season." To complement the quick offense, the Lady Colonels also hope to improve on the defensive end. "We have a quick team ," said sophomore forward Debbie Bredbenncr. "That aspect will help us put defensive pressure on our opponents." Brcdbenncr and soph Donna Zurawski will battle for starting positions. Sophomore Krista Zoka (6'2") will assume the starling chores at center. Fellow second-year player Deb Erdner will relieve Zoka, and freshmen Hillary Blake, Missie Chinchar and Colleen McGarry (all are 5'10") will provide inside help. Veteran Maryann Stephanick, a sophomore, brings defensive skill to the guard slot, where freshmen Christy Ivory, Robin Klem and Erika Yelland will also see action. "The new players are fitting in really well," Carson said.

Serving the Wilkes community since 1947 November 9, 1989 mg!LJ}osters cause controversy oken rules postpone freshman elections S-BARRE - Problems with the campaign era! candidates has caused the postponement of class elections. The election will be held week later than its scheduled date. irouble began when two candidates discovered that had been taken down. It is not known whether were removed as an act of vandalism or because ci space. that discovery, they also noticed that other 'posters did not meet the regulations for election g. The rules which were allegedly broken include t the maximum size of posters (14 inches by 22 the rule which states that posters must be signed by the candidate in the front lower right hand two candidates brought the violations to the f the Student Government Executive Council last . They contested that there were posters that were the allowed size and that some posters were not dated or both. Executive Council of Student Government had two options which it could use to solve the problem: disqualify those who didn't follow the guidelines, or postpone the elections and hold another meeting with all freshman candidates to review the election rules. If the members chose the former, at least five candidates would be disqualified. "I felt it was logical not to make mass disqualifications," said Mike Nolfe, Student Government advisor. Several of the Executive Council's members felt that the rules were too strict and "nitpicky" and that amendments to those rules should be made. "We want to see students voted into office on merit and not thrown out on a technicality," said Bill Hanigan. "We want to reward those who are spirited and want to participate." The Exec~tive Council adopted a unified position to postpone the elections for one week, and to meet with the candidates. The issue was presented at the General Student Government meeting, but the Executive Council withheld its opinion to avoid forcing the members' views on the rest of the group. The two most viable options were discussed, and a heated debate resulted. A small faction of members took a hard line on policy, believing that the violators of the rules should be disqualified. "Last year one person was disqualified for one poster," said Sandro Rotella, sophomore class President, "It was one mistake as a freshman. It affected our freshman class. They were told to follow the rules or they would be disqualified. I feel that if we have done it (disqualify) in the past, we should do it now." The issue was put to a vote. The first vote was on whether or not the candidates who violated the rules should be disqualified. That measure failed. A second vote to postpone the elections and meet with the candidates was passed. The election was moved back a week to today's date. "Because they're freshmen, there was room for leniency. We made the exception and pushed the elections back." said Hanigan. "I am very enthusiastic about the interest in freshman elections, and I am pleased that Student Government was able to preserve that interest." said Paul Adams, Student Government advisor. The meeting was held last Thursday in Stark 101. The candidates were informed by Student Government officials about the decision they made about postponing the elections. . ''I'm glad 1 have another week, but I don·t thmk tne rules are really helping the kids running," said Ken Falzone, candidate for freshman vice-president. This election was one of the most hotly contested in the past three years. According to Adams, the enthusiam of the freshmen was a major consideration in the decision made by Student Government.

His thoughts, however, could provoke violent reactions from people. McCarthy defies the traditional image of the "passive pacifist." In fact, if there is such a thing as agitative pacifism, McCarthy practices it. On Monday, October 23, Colman McCarthy was the guest at a luncheon at Wilkes College, and gave a lecture that night at the King's College Campus Ministry Center. Those in atendance were m for a challenge to conventional beliefs. McCarthy is a father of three and supports his family by writing a column for the Washington Post . He also teaches at high schools and colleges. This does not sound like anything out of the ordinary until one discovers what it is that he writes and teaches about. McCarthy is not only a believer in nonviolence, but thinks it can be actively be taught in the same way he sees the doctrine of war being taught. In his "peace studies" classes, "the first moments of the OUR OVERCOATS ARE "TOP" COATS! at John B. Stetz ' r)f I $200 coats now $1 sa00 $250 coats now $175°0 ~Q;tiN [)TET? CLOTHIER 66 South Main Stree\. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. WANTED:· STUDENT FOR PART TIME WORK 829-1984 first class are a spot quiz." McCarthy has the students identify ten people. Five are famous generals, the other five famous peacemakers. In his own words, the students "know all about the generals." They usually fail to name the other five. McCarthy very convincingly argues the point that society, in particular American society, conditions its members to solve conflicts violently. By the time children reach kindergarten, they have for many years been watching cartoons, ninety-five percent of which, according to McCarthy, have violent themes. Young people are taught that, to solve their problems, they should "belt someone." This conditoning to violent ways continues throughout school, where wars are taught as the major events by which all other historical activity is measured, and military men are the greatest heroes. Perhaps the culmination of this process is at age eighteen, when most males unquestioningly sign up for the draft. McCarthy finds this unbelievable. The government, in his eyes, is saying sign up, "we might have some killing for you to do," and young men willingly comply. He believes this stems from, among other things, no education in draft resistance. Furthennore, those who do refuse the draft are denied financial aid for college, a system which discriminates against the poor working class. McCarthy is frightened by the blind acceptance of authority that characterizes American youth. In each of his classes, he has the student~ do a silly experiment of counting the number of green and red cars that go by. He then asks them if they thought it was a stupid activity, and if they did, why didn't they tell him so. "Because you're the teacher" is not a satisfactory answer. McCarthy says to "question authority because authority is telling us to do dumb things." This brings us to the crux of McCarthy's philosophy. First, one must realize the absurdity of the violent propaganda that is being spread en masse , and second, one has to be courageous enough to go against tradition. Finally, one must act. McCarthy accuses college students of being "idea rich, experience poor." He supports activities that get students "off the campus and into the community." When asked about the potential problem of apathy among today's youth, McCarthy replied, "send students among the victims [of physical and economic violence and they tend to be radicalized very fast." During his lecture, McCarthy showed a powerful film put together by one of his students. Images of peace and beauty were contrasted with those of war and death. A particularly interesting segment compared the quotes of famous violence advocates, some of whom are considered great heroes, with quotes from lovers of peace in a way that exposed the utter ridiculousness of the fonner. A quote from Martin Luther King, Jr. , "The U.S. is the most violent nation," pretty much sums up McCarthy's political views. "'I love my country,' I never say those blasphemous words," he said. "If democracy is so great, why do we have to shove it down people's throats?" McCarthy's sense of humor, however, lets him avoid a preachy style. The left, he says, "always likes to whine and blame the warmongers. We had a great eight years [for this] under kinda miss him." Ano point in his approaci willingness to take qu answer them honestly. to say he didn't run into stacles. His idea thatall animals is wrong met articulate resistance. sticky point for Mc when he stated that thete violent alternatives to against rape but failed to examples. On the whole, presented a very chall viable philosophy. peace, he told the y audience, is as easy as letter home to show ap parents.

Transition committee formed GOND_ by Michele Corbett Beacon Staff Writer WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes' shift in status will be accompanied by many changes, some of which people may not have considered. In realization of that fact, Wilkes has created _a University Transition Committee to propose and oversee the changes associated with the school's name change from college to university. The group addresses changes in two fonns: short and long term goals. Immediate concerns involve the institution's stationery, which may seem trivial at first, actually encompasses the greatest area of change. Its importance is evident in the identification that stationery lends to everything that leaves Wilkes, especially in the legal aspects, such as checks, signed documents, and transcripts. For instance, those students sending resumes to prospective employers and graduate and professional schools must have Wilkes University and not College, as of January 1, 1990. Long term goals are focused on the "big picture" and include things like signs, future graduates and class rings. Dean Lampe foresees that those students currently attending (entered Wilkes prior to January 1, 1990 and graduate after spring semester 1990) will still have the option to have "college" or "university" on their diplomas. However, these students will not be asked personally; it is up to them to make their feelings known at the time of their graduation. The people active in the comm ittee were assembled wi th the fores ight of the individual's potential contributions. Dean Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, is involved in the interest of students and formal ceremonies such as commencement and academic processions. Her input was sought on the diploma issue, and she is in the process of contacting the college attorneys with regard to the Wilkes seal. John Pesta, Director of Purchasing and Contracting, is involved in the investigation and implementation of physical changes-, such as the changing of signs and benches outside Evans. Hall. Other members are: Betsy Condron, Director of Community Relations; Jane Manganella, Director of Public Relations, to coordinate media aspects of changes; Lee Morrell and Kathy Harris, student representatives to the committee; Dr. Robert Heaman, Executive Assisstant to the President, to act as a liaison between the President and the committee; and Erin Ostrowski and Theresa Vaccaro from the bookstore to inform outside suppliers of changes. The committee conducted its second meeting last Monday. The discussion revolved around plans for a community celebration night on the eve of February 16, University Day at Wilkes. It was also decided that Pesta should contact the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDot) on the formalities of changing road signs leading into the valley. Dean Lampe-Groh estimates that the committee will exist for the year with the bulk of the work being accomplished within the next two to six months. Students are encouraged to make their suggestions and opinions known. Students may approach Dean Lampe-Groh or The Beacon. Both offices are located in the SUB on the second and third floors respectively. i 1· 50 Tasty Buffalo W I $12.25 tax ind with cou IL ____ Valid to _ Nov._ Eat in or Take 119 N.

WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes faculty, administration, staff and students will have the choice to share, for one brief moment, the experience of those who have no choice-those who go ·hungry every day. Members of the Wilkes community can choose to participate in Oxfam America's Fast for a World Harvest on Thursday, November 16, 1989 in the Stark Lobby from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Oxfam America is an international agency that funds self-help development and disaster relief in over thirty countries in Africa, Asia, Latin-America, and the Caribbean, and also prepares and distributes educational materials on the issues of development and hunger for people in the United States. The name "Oxfam" comes from the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, founded in England in 1942. Oxfam America, based in Boston, was formed in 1970 and is a nonsectarian, nonprofit agency that neither seeks nor accepts U.S. government funds and all contributions made to Oxfam America are tax-deductable.

The idea of the Fast is simple: Americans from all walks oflife are invited tQ join together in giving up one or more meals and donating the money saved to help Oxfam's lifesustaining projects throughout the world.

Be nice to me and contribute money ror the hungry. Thanks." On November 16, 1989 you can join with people throughoutthe United States in helping other Americans learn more about world hunger. Thousands of schools, colleges, churches, synagogues, homes, and work places all across the country will participate in the 1989 Fast for a World Harvest. The cessary evil. Our planet produces more than enough food to feed us all. Yet hunger is a basic fact of life for 730 million people-one in seven worldwide. Each day, sixty thousand people die of hunger, about 40,000 of them children under the age of five. The world's food supply is growing faster than its population. Yet, according to World Bank and U.N. stati~tics, hunger and malnutrition in developing countries are again on the rise. By supporting Oxfam's 1989 Fast for a World Harvest, Americans can learn more about world hunger and its real causes.

For most of us who live on the East Coast - more specifically the Wyoming Valley - this doesn't mean very much. But, it wasn't us. MAD RAMBLINGS by Lee Morrell For me the Quake of '89 was, at first, a disruption of the World Series. Then, slowly but surely, it gained meaning. As we satin front of the TV, listening to the brilliant onsight reporting of ABC Sports' Al Michaels, the whole picture started to take shape. People were dead and dying, homes were burning or in rubble and the area was without the necessities for 72 hours. But, it wasn't us. As the days went by, the meaning was still clear. Bad things were happening on the other side of the nation. At the same time, however, nowers were growing out of the rubble. Survivors were being pulled out of the wreckage of I-880. Optimism was reigning on the ... ~ , t.er"s '-f~~ AME:E"llNC;- Bay. My attitude of"Gee, I hope they are all ,.right" disappeared and was replaced with a "Things are looking better for them" attitude. But, it wasn't us. Then it became us, 'or at least it became me. I knew that my big brother was going to the Bay to visit with friends but it never really hit me that he could be caught in some kind of aftershock. I woke up one morning early last week to have my aunttell me that San Francisco was shaken by an aftershock that registered 4.5 on the Richter Scale. We didn't hear from him until later that day when he told us that he didn't even feel it. In the time between finding out what we did and hearing form my brother, a million things ran through my head. Was my brother O.K.? Was he just another San Francisco number? Who would call first, him or the Red Cross? Was everyone in San Francisco going through the same thing? The good news is that following another after-shock and a "real" quake, my big brother came home Tuesday with tales of his bed snaking Ot-1 A NAVAL-SMIP... \ I W1t--r ~~~~~ like a "gelatinous mold."

He gestured to a man at the other end It was a large turbaned fellow with curling out of his nostrils, and a plunger ~ belt clasping his robes. "Do you agree tbi simple task?" After one glance at the• ICIOSS from me, who whispered across the table, "Me love you long time," I nodded once again to the great Saniflush. At eternity later, he pushed me out of th_e plane. The parachute opened flawlessly and I touched down on the hood of a roofless green station wagon parked at a stop light in the Wilkes-Barre public square. I quickly disconnected the parachute and it was swept under the vehicle while I jumped over the windshield and into the passenger seat. A small bald man in a suit sat behind the wheel. Before I could cry, "Rape!", he pulled me into an alley and informed me that he was a male prostitute. This seedy character then offered to handcuff me to a bedpost, dress up like Cinderella, and force me to drink castor oil from a glass slipper. I told him that I was getting fitted for a new truss soon, and couldn't take the strain. He then pushed me out and drove off. I was jerked from unconsciousness when she stepped on my head. She fell, broke wind in my general direction, and then passed out. This was a heyna. Her. body was a portal through which toxic gases escaped. I could smell a blueberry wine cooler on her breath. Her unfaded dungarees were so tight that I feared her feet would pop off. The flotsam and jetsam of thin hair was layered against her head. I did not need a tour guide to realize that this was not the typical urban sleeze. This was a square heyna. So I dragged her by her feet to the Bat-cave, threw her in the trunk, and pointed the Orange Hornet, my vintage Volkswagen, in the direction of the airfield. The flight felt like an eternity. As Boris dropped me off at the disreputable bar in which Saniflush resided, he claimed that I was camel drool and beat me with a stale pita. Nevertheless, I managed to find the back entrance and, with a slumbering heyna in my arms, stumbled on the same dinner party I had left some seventeen hours before. Saniflush removed the maiden from my arms and gave her to a servant. "Take her to my harem." I then took a swig of Blue Death, sat back and told him of my first wish. Within minutes, the Residence Life thug was forcefully put on an airplane to Thailand, doomed to dish washing for eternity. "I know of your second wish. You wish advice on your goddess, the beauty who is not aware of your love. I tell you this. Be patient. If she is the one for you, then she will seek you out. Simply wait, my son." My third wish was very simple. I asked him for the secret recipe for Blue Death. That, however is something the world will never learn. ' How oo I GET HEARD AT WILKES? t~ USE THE BEACON OF COURSE.

Such is the case with a major boo-boo that appeared - but may not have been caught - in last week's "Beacon Mailbox." A letter was contributed by Dr. Breiseth and was a thank you to the College community for its support during the recent announcement about our change to university status. It was short and to the point and addressed a few of the fears that the average Wilkes student might be experiencing at the moment. The problem appeared in the second paragraph. Dr. Breiseth said: "... there will be no tuition increase as a result of our becoming a university. I indicated at the press conference announcing our new status that there would continue to be modest tuition increases. These increases will be in line with the normal tuition increases we have had over the years; there will be additional costs passed along to the students as a result of our assuming university status."

This recognition reflects the solid commitment of Wilkes College to medical education and related fields. R-NET is a computer net~ work that provides the technological means to utilize computers in training , designed to make use of the standard software programs written for non-disabled individuals. The design utilizes existing network and hardware technology integrated to provide a working system for the physically disabled . The international congress is held once every three years and is sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO), International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP), International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), the International Medical Informatics Association of Latin America, the Japanese Association for Medical Formatics, the American Association for Medical System Informatics, the European Federation for Medical Informatics, and the China Council for MED INFO '89. The meeting provided a unique opportunity for 800 different professionals from 50 countries. Professionals such as medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists, engineers, and computer scientists from all over the world discussed the application of information techniques in health care and biomedical research. It is aimed at making informatics (computer instrumentation in medicine) available in the support of global health. MED INFO participants present the role of informatics in contributing to the health of remote areas in developing countries as well as to the health care in themostadvanced medical environment. Dr. Nejib was invited to attend the congress by Dr. Phil Manning, Chairman of the MEDINFO Scientific Committee and Associate Vice-President of the University of Southern California. Dr. Manning is familiar with Dr. Nejib's work and requested that he submit the paper for consideration for presentation to the international congress. A second letter of invitation was received from Dr. Ouyang Zhineng, Chairman MEDINFO Organizing Committee. Dr. Nejib submitted his paper for consideration to the Evaluation and Program Committees of MEDINFO '89. Following that scrutiny the paper was submitted for presentation. Following the initial meeting, Dr. Nejib was invited to stay in China to tour area facilities and meet some of the people of Beijing and interact with Chinese specialists. He was given a tour of the People's Liberation Army Hospital and examined it's computer system dir diagnostics. Later, Dr. Nejib visited a village in Central China and talked with the people about improvement in area clinics and automation. Dr. Umid Nejib joined Wilkes college in 1969 as a Professor of Engineering and worked on the development of the engineering facilities and programs. The restructuring and implementation of the Computer Center and the establishment of . the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences. In Northeastern Pennsylvania, Dr. Nejib was instrumental in implementing the Energy Conservation Institute, the first Anthracite Symposium, the first Telecommunication Conference, and the College/Industry Technology Conferences. He also established the Technology Transfer Program at Wilkes, through which local industries and organizations can interact and receive assistance in incorporating new technologies into their operations. Dr. Nejib has published and presented more than sixty professional papers and supervised more than fifty funded projects in the areas of Energy Conversion, RF Communication & Sensing, Automation, and Digital Systems.

Dave's forte is musical comedy; those of us who are fans of Doctor Demento's syndicated radio show know him for his most famous songs, "Dead Puppies" and "Go Play In Traffic. " The small audience was not a drawback; in fact, it led to an intimate atmosphere that made the evening 's festivities even more enjoyable. Rudolph got to know a number of audience members by name, much to their chagrin; he included them often in his loosely structured routine. He sang "Wild Thing" to Kathy (last names withheld to protect the humiliated), and mouthed "I love you" to her throughout the show. Melinda left to powder her nose, and Rudolph had all of us yell "Hi, Melinda!" He also made a number of comments to, and about, Craig, Kevin, and Aubin. A member of the audience left the perfor- mance early; Rudolph unplugged his guitar and ran after the exciting individual. The audience as a whole was involved in the Dave Rudolph experience, as well. Rudolph led the crowd in participatory versions of his song, "On The Tropical Holiday," and his closing number, "Hit The Road, Jack." The enthusiastic crowd even stole the show at one point. When Rudolph remarked that it was a frightening indicator of our times that everyone knows the theme to "The Brady Bunch," we all did a rousing performance of the Brady ballad in its entirety. The show adopted a serious tone for a brief, shining moment. Rudolph performed a touching song called, "When I See The World." He wrote it about the wonder of his infant son's discovery of everything for the first time, and of his joy in experiencing the world anew through his son's eyes. The bulk of his performace, of course, was made up of what Rudolph is semi-famous for: his Jones shines by Rob Gryziec Beacon Feature Writer Rickie Lee Jones has done it again. It was five years in the making and after experiencing Flying Cowboys, "one can certainly see why the LP features a unique blend of various different styles which flow together to create a true work of art." What really holds the album together is its pure seductiveness and the reafism of her lyrics which really hits home to the listener. According to Rickie, what makes the album mystical is intensity of the spirit surrounding it. The first single, "Satellites," withits 60's pop chorouses is just a sample of the enlightment that "Flying Cowboys" has to offer. Rick has expressed a powerful and sharp sound blended with soulful jazz interludes. Fourof the songs which appear on the LP she co-wrote with her . husband Pascal Nabet-Meyer, but Rickie made it clear on a recent interview on VHl that she prefers writing songs alone. The distinction mark of Rickie Lee Jones talent has been fully expressed in her latest venture and one can surely see why this eccentric pop star shines high. comedy sengs. He performed his famous "Dead Puppies" and "Go Play In Traffic," as wall as tunes like "Whiter Shade Of Quayle," "The One I Shove," and "On The Commode Again." In addition, he previewed "My Potato Head Family," a song soon to be played on Doctor Demento' s show. After the show, Rudolph was just as entertaining; he remarked that he's funny even when he's not being paid for it. Rudolph even invited a group onstage as background singers next time (look for the deb1,1t of the DenisTones when Dave comes back town). Rudolph is an extremely entertaining performer. It's ironic that many students hadn't heard of Rudolph's appearance; while he was here, Rudolph spoke to the Theatre Lab class about promoting various performance acts. The Programming Board should bring Rudolph back next year for al of you who missed him and his superb perfo time. No, make that mester ...

My age was the innocent number of nine. I had just returned home from school and entered my house. A lighting-fast image raced towards me. At first I made it out to be the color black. Wait a minute! It was white. Whatever color it was, it had the intention of jumping and tearing me to shreds. It was my birthday present. Casey was a black and white basset-beagle combo. She was a birthday present that I would never forget. Nothing that I had received in the past was nearly as cherishable. The day that Casey jumped me I wasn't sure whether or not I was going to cherish this rowdy little raucous canine. However, as years passed and my beagle blossomed, I would find myself becoming extremely attached to my new found friend. In the beginning of Casey's long life she was basically disconnected from my family and me. This was due to her tendency for ripping apart family antiques, furniture, and blasting craters into the living room carpet. The cooky canine would have to spend time in the cellar prison due to the threat she posed against the society of upstairs living. It wasn't really fair, but there wasn't much else we could do about this dilemna. However, in later .years, this action we took in trying to calm our youngest family member would raise an interesting question in our minds. We couldn't decide whether or not the isolation Casey experienced was a direct cause of how crazy she acted at times. Like when she was on parole and allowed to come into the recroom, an area adjacent to the cellar. Casey was about four years old when she was privledged to dig her claws into the recroom carpet. She would usually spend about two or three hours rampaging around the room like a raving nut. My family and I would sit and stare in amaze- ment, laughing histarically at the same time. The recroom was a sort of family room. No matter if she was crazy or not, we felt bad for the fact she had to spend a lot of time alone in the cellar. Don't get me wrong. We weren't inhuman. Everyone would visit her at varoius times. My mom would sing songs to her. I would go downstairs to wrestle with her. And my dad would retrieve Casey out of the basement to take her on walks, or as the case might have been, Casey would take my father for walks or drags. my father would ventureouron. As Casey reached the ages of seven and eight my dad would take the dog on extended treks into the forrest behind my house. We simply called this forrest "the woods." Both my father and Casey lived for these walks. They would go every night after work and on weekend mornings. Good ol' dad became even more attached to Casey in the dogs latter years. I was in college during the time that my dad and dog solidified their relationship for good. It was my freshman year to be exact. People outside could always tell when Casey was com in' around the bin. Hehh! Hehhh! Choke! Choke! were the gasping sounds coming from Casey's trap as she lugged my dad from comer to comer looking for a new pile of shit to roll in. The choking sounds were a result of her collar ramming against her throat when she tugged to hard in trying to carry my father's weight. These walks were only a prelude to the journeys Casey and During my first semester I traveled home for Christmas break. Something wasn't right. Casey had been sick for quite awhile before my visit. However, this time, I could see it in her eyes. She was suffering greatly. She had held her pain in for so long in order to part take in her glorious walks and to remain a member of the Gordon family. Her spirit was more powerful than most human beings' in this world. However, father time caught up with her. luggage was in the inside and saw Casey's and drooping over the went up to her and nud against hers for what Ifek the last time. My father took school. Hereturnedl to find Casey moaning in pain. It was time. That night Casey my father when he was layed her head beside his had apparently waited ther had returned fi Barre to tell him it was togo.

"The which that crazy dog much. Core Studies 101 is rotten to the by Rob Erlich Beacon Feature Writer CST 101, Core Studies, is, without a doubt, the worst course on any freshman's schedule. My own experiences, as well as those of freshman whom I have spoken to, have led me to the following conclusions: I) The class is a complete waste of time. 2) The class is an insult to our intelligence. 3) The course places an unnecessary workload upon· · us, taking time away that should be spent on other classes. An overwhelming majority of freshmen despise the class. In fact, if there is one thing that has united the class of '93, its hatred of Core Studies. Every week the class meets to go over some portion of the class "textbook", which is written with all the integrity of a cheap supermarket tabloid, to hand in the previous week's busy work, and to throw more pointless, time-consuming, mind-numbing garbage at us to labor over. There is a cultural activity report, which is, apparently, to open our minds to the culture as they define it, because everyone knows kids today, are all mindless couch potatoes. Even if their ignorant assumption is right, the nature of the report is such that whatever speech, poetry reading, or whatever is seen as another idiotic assignment designed to make our lives miserable than entertaining. There is also a "career study plan", designed to help us make every decision we ever plan to make before completing our freshman year. We are also expected to plan every course for the next 3 1/2 years. Consideriog the large number of changed majors by undergraduates, as well as the potential for changing our minds over the next few years, not to mention the fact that a large number of us have noideawhatsoeverwhatwewantto do, and the few who would be helped by this plan have already done it, to an extent, on theirown, it is obvious that this is absolutely futile. Another major busy work assignment in the class is the assignment of daily journals. This is highly tedious, not to mention useless, just like everything else in the class. Finally, and most importantly, is the very simple fact that the students hate the course. If this was public school, it wouldn't be quite so bad, but this is not. We are paying for this education, and deserve to have the freedom to learn whatever we want, and not learn what we do not want to. This school is here for the students, the customers. Right now, the customers are dissatisfied. It is the school's duty to cater to our needs and desires, and one way they can begin is by dropping Core Studies.

In his mind's stage, act upon act unfolds in the play which dramatizes his desired war with Mike Tyson. The climax awards Holyfield the heavyweight championship of the world as he glowers over his fallen opponent. But the image is blurry. After all, it's only a dream and Holyfield knows it will clear only when he is allowed to pound Tyson's flesh . He took another step in that direction by stopping the previously undefeated Alex Stewart with an eighth-round technical knockout last Saturday at the Trump Plaza. Holyfield (23-0, 18 KOs) absorbed some punishment, especially in the sixth round when he was bombarded with a series of rights, but he shook off his sluggishness and the bout was stopped because of heavy bleeding above Stewart's right eye. Just over three months ago, Holyfield sat placidly as dreambreaker Tyson taunted him seconds after Tyson's one-round knockout of Carl "The Truth" Williams. Emperor Tyson dared Holyfield, his subject, to topple his kingdom and wear the crown. At that moment, Holyfield became the heavyweight messiah in the eyes of a sport and its followers, who are disenchanted with Tyson's invincibility and personality. Boxing politics will prevent the two from meeting until mid-1990 or later. How taxing is the wait? "It's not hard at all," Holyfield said. "It's just being patient and taking one fight at a time. My goal is to be the heavyweight champion of the world. If Tyson wasn't the champion, he wouldn't concern me at all. Each fight leads to a fight for the heavyweight title." But with such an awesome prey to hunt, wouldn't one's thoughts be focused on the eventual battle despite the skirmishes that precede it? "Evander really doesn't think about Tyson," said Lou Duva, Holyfield's co-trainer. "He wants to fight him, but it's not a life-and-death thing. He wants to fight, period. When the match is made with Tyson, Evander will be ready. It comes down to that." Holyfield's venture into the realm of heavyweights has been brief. Possessing the IBF and WBA cruiserweight titles, he fought James "Quick" Tillis in July, 1988, registering a fifth-round TKO and his first victory in the higher division. He has since defeated Pinklon Thomas (TKO, 7), Michael Dokes (TKO, 10), Adilson Rodrigues (KO, 2) and Stewart. Dokes was considered his first true test, and although outweighed by 17 pounds (225-208), Holyfiled exchanged hard punches and eventually ended the grueling bout with a left hook. The overhand right that felled Rodrigues silenced many critics who felt Holyfield lacked a heavyweight's power. Is Holyfield at home in his current mode? "I feel very comfortable at the weight I'm at," he said. "Am I the best that I can be? You never can tell because I feel that each and every fight, I should get better. My power? I can punch when it's time to punch." Yet Holyfield brings a heavy repertoire of skills into the ring. His quickness and feel enable him to find an opponent's head with pinpoint perception without wasting punches, one of the two routes to a knockout. (The other is continuously working the body, which causes the recipient's hands to drop, leaving the head unprotected.) · "I'm a fast-handed fighter," Holyfield proclaims. ''I'm an all-around boxer who can move." '' If Tyson wasn't the champion, he wouldn't concern me at all. " Evander Holyfield Duva feels Holyfield's concentration is as strong as his physical prowess. "Evander can't be mentally worked up where he throws away his battleplan," he said. "When he goes in to fight Tyson , Evander's gping to fight his own way. That I guarantee you. He takes direction well from George Benton (Holyfield's other co-trainer, a Philadelphia native). He can make adjustments and when we get in that corner during a fight, he listens and executes. That's the big thing. We can teach him, but he's got to have the ability to learn, and he's got that." Holyfield also holds an extreme love of training. "I feel to be the best that you can be be takes practice," he said. "Practice makes 'perfect. _The only way you achieve perfection is to work on what your craft is. My craft is boxing, so training is part of it." That desire has not gone unnoticed by Duva. "Evander's the best I've ever had in that regard," he said. "He's the fust one in the gym and the last one out. He knows what he has to do." Since Don King is keeping Tyson from Holyfield's reach so the financial benefits will ferment, Duva sees George Foreman, if he defeats Gerry Cooney in January, as a possible foe for Holyfield. Tim Witherspoon and Williams are also possibilities. Holyfield, however, isn't eager to participate in Foreman's comeback sideshow. "I think they should put an age-cap on it," he said. "If you're looking to rectify injuries or anything like that, you have to be cautious of age and layoff. I think Foreman was a great fighter in his time, and right now he's competing with people that he's much better than. But what happens when he fights somebody in the top ten?" Despite his occupation, the genteel Holyfield is renowned for sensitivity and outside interests. The owner of a Subaru dealership in his native Atlanta, Ga., he also wants to pursue an acting career. But one line of work seems to touch his heart deeply. "Most importantly, I like working with kids," he said. "I can see myself doing that more so than anything. "I enjoy boxing. It's a love to me and I love doing it just as a sport. Hopefully, in four or five years, I should have enough. But only time can tell." Before the sunset arrives, there is the matter of Tyson. Much has been made about the fear he instills in his opponents. Does an intimidated fighter suffer? "I guess if you let fear hinder your performance, yeah, it's a disadvantage," Holyfield said. "But sometimes people use fear as a motivating thing to work harder." ' If Holyfield is afraid, he masks it well from the public. He instead chooses to display logic salted with the slightest hint of malice. And when he faces Tyson, the latter is a characteristic that will serve the new heavyweight messiah well. �PAGE 14 NOVEMBER 9, 1989 Miller playing the waiting "The waiting is the hardest part." -Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Waiting. We've all had to do it at one time or another. Whether it's been the long lines for class registration or just your everyday trips to the cafeteria for lunch and dinner. With Christmas right around the comer (only 46 days left to shop), we all know the time we will spend waiting in lines. And the longer we wait, the more frustrated we get. Ron Miller, a fifth-year senior who wrestles at 134 pounds for the Colonels, knows all about waiting and the frustration that accompanies it. Had to wait half his freshmen year to get a chance. Had to wait his whole senior year on the sidelines. And he is now waiting to see if he will be able to give it a go in his final season of eligibility, thanks to a reoccuring injury. Miller has been waiting for a muscle tear in his right shoulder to heal for the past two seasons. He thought it was good as gold coming into the season but he reinjured it last week in practice. And the waiting has begun all over again. "When I hurt my shoulder last year, I was going to sit out the first half of the year then come back in the second half," Miller said. "But Coach (John) Reese thought it would be better to just let it heal because I already missed the whole first half. "I kind of wanted to sit out and I kind of wanted to wrestle. I really had mixed emotions." Despite the injury, Miller played an important role as the team's video man. He filmed the matches from the stands and saw things he otherwise wouldn't have been aware of. Call it a learning experience. "IL was really frustrating filming the matches because I saw a lot of mistakes being made," Miller said. "We were a young team and we took some bumps and knocks. We made a lot of mistakes as a team that we usually don't make. It was really hard to listen to the fans criticize some of the guys. I guess they just got used to seeing great wrestlers like Craig Rome, Andre Miller, Dennis Mejias and Gary Sanchez. Those guys all lettered two or three years. Last year's team was a lot younger." When Miller was a lot younger and in his first season at Wilkes, the bench was a familiar place. He was stuck at third string. But he waited. And waited. And then he excelled. "We tried to recruit a guy from Ron's high school named Amato," Reese said. "He was an outstanding 188-pounder. We went to a tournament to watch him and the coach talked to us about Ron. We got Ron and the other guy went to North Carolina State and later transfered to East Stroudsburg. He never really did anything. "Ron came in here his first year and was behind two kids that he lost to in the wrestle-offs. The number-one guy wound up getting hurt and the number-two guy couldn't make weight after a while. That's when Ron stepped in and we found out that he was like night and day on the mat. He just wasn't a good practice wrestler. But once he stepped out on the mat for the match, he was a totally diffrent wrestler." Miller wound up winning 17 matches and finished third in the Easterns, good for a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Not bad for a guy who started the season as a third-stringer. "I wound up getting beat in the first round at the nationals," said Miller. "They were at the University of Iowa and I was intensely nervous. But it was a great experience. I could try to explain it but the only way is to be out there. It is very intense. You see people that you only read about. It makes you want to go back." And he has been waiting for that chance ever s_ince. But he hasn't been lying awake in bed at night and dreaming about it. Instead, Miller has been following the advice of Nike and "just doing it." In his three seasons, he has rolled up 61 career victories, and, if he can get and stay healthy, he has a chance to finish third on the school's all-time win list. "We are hoping to get Ron healthy," Reese said. "His shoulder doesn't seem that bad, but it is still aching him. He Juniata runs wild over Wilkes by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor HUNTINGDON - Football blueprints say that when your defense stops the opposing team from scoring by intercepting a pass in the end zone, momentum should flow your way.- Just a little. So when Colonels comerback Carl Dunn killed a Juniata drive last Saturday with a pick in the end zone and the Colonels trailing 13-7 in the fourth quarter, common knowledge says Wilkes' offense awakens from a gamelong funk and wins one for the Gipper. Or even their favorite stripper at Topper's. Nope. First series yields punt. Second produces a sideline pass thrown too short and stolen by Juniata comerback Brian Giachetti for a 41-yard touchdown.

Juniata running back Dennis DeRenzo rushed for 189 yards on 1- -- -- 40 carries and basically set the tone of the game. The Colonels jumped to a 7-0 lead on a 19-yard run by Courtney . Mcfarlane, but the ground game could only muster 94 yards on 30 carries. Bright spots for the Colonels? Comerback Tony Grabinski made 13 tackles and recovered a fumble, and safety Tom McFadden intercepted a pass and stopped DeRenzo one-on-one on a few occasions. Offensively, wingback Jim Farrell caught three passes for 62 yards, but his fumble on a 24-yard gain snuffed a Colonels threat. The Colonels travel to Lycoming, who absorbed their first loss at Susquehanna, on Saturday (1 :30 p.m.) "It's the last game for the seniors," said head coach Bill Unsworth. "They don't want to go out feeling bad about themselves." Unless a miracle occurs - or mistakes are eliminated - that feeling will be hard to shake.

Andrejko has some guidance ready to offer to his new proteges. 'Tm looking for leadership from seniors Tom Doughty, Jim Nolan and Dave Argentati," he said. "We have many young players who need that example in order to develop more." Perhaps the most important addition Andrejko can bring to the Colonels is his experience as a winner. "It was exciting to go to the national finals," he said. "It's where every basketball player wants to be. We set the goal at the beginning of the year to make the Final Four. We did, and it made the year a success." It will be a challenge to the Colonels to try to accomplish something close to what Andrejko and his mates did that year. But it shouldn't be too difficult for Andrejko to shift his allegiance to Colonel blue - and do a great job coaching. photo by Donna Yedlock J.P.

Seven field hockey players chosen WILKES-BARRE - Seven Lady Colonels field hockey players were selected to play in the National Festival later this month in North Carolina last weekend at the United States Field Hockey Association Mid East Tournament last weekend. Alisa Geller was given first-team recognition, while Tara Haas, Lindsey Krivenko and Martina Petrosky garnered second-team honors. Sue Barr, Michelle Leathery and Dawn Smith were named to the third game. They will travel to Catawba College in Salisbury, NC over the Thanksgiving holiday to take part in a series of games with players from all over the country. The players will be part of the Mid East team which Wilkes coach Addy Malatesta will help to coach. In her first year at Wilkes, Malatesta guided the Lady Colonels to a 4-8-2 mark. "It's a great honor because it means we're getting recognition from other people," Geller said. "The Mid East i~ a very respected region." "The individual recognition is a tribute to the talent of the athletes,''. Malatesta said. "It will serve as a learning experience for the players and myself to be at such a high level of competition."

In a season of summits, the fortunes of the Colonels soccer team hit a high point when Ron Rainey knocked in a goal for a 1-0 lead in the first half of Wilkes' ECAC tournament matchup with Moravian last Friday. Although the Colonels emerged on the wrong end of the 2-1 final score, their accomplishments couldn't be tainted. Quite simply, the world's sport became Wilkes' sport this fall as the Colonels produced a 10-8-1 season and put Wilkes soccer on the map. "I think this season gives the next few teams a goal to shoot for," said head coach Phil Wingert. "We made the ECAC Tournament, now the next step is to shoot for the NCAAs. We're a ways from there, but playoff action can become a preseason standard on a yearly basis." Hold on, Wing Man. We're not that far away, says junior captain Mike Lenczycki. "If we had one more win, we could have been playing for the MAC title," he said. "We were right there." Not in the beginning of the season, though. The Colonels dropped their first three contests and prepared to host a 4-0 Scranton team. Prospects were high for a loss and a grim 0-4 start to what was supposed to be a coming-out year of sorts. Headline: Colonel hooters drop Scranton, 2-1 Bang! Instant season saver. "We knew we had a good team," Lenczycki said. "We knew we would come together and have a good season. The first three teams we lost to all made postseason tournaments, so it wasn't like we were playing badly." was part of a team. A very good team." . Junior Chris Shenefield tied Rainey for the points with 21 (six goals, nine assists). "He's talented one-on-one player," Wingert said. "Ji defender with so much speed. He's our number setting someone else up to score." Another pleasant development was the healthiness of junior goalkeeper Kevin Trank started 19 games and posted a 1.36 goals agai "For him to finally get through a season inj boost his confidence," Wingert said. "We low against average by more than half a g significant." Wingert's fears were guelled by the initial victory. "I think Scranton took us lightly," he said. "We got that first win and it was a team effort. I think before that game the guys may have lost a little confidence and may have been searching." The Colonels found treasure. They downed Bloomsburg, 2-1 in double overtime two games later and settled into a groove in which they won seven and tied one in a stretch of 11 games. The lightning in the Colonels' attack was provided by Ron Rainey, a junior transfer from Division I Virginia Tech, who scored 10 goals and added one assist. It was quite a transition from his days as a Hokie. "A lot of my goals were the result of being in the right place at the right time," Rainey said. "I didn't get nearly as much playing time at Virginia Tech. This year I felt like I Straface obliterates records by Ray Ott Beacon Sports Editor WILKES-BARRE - If you see Wilkes assistant volleyball coach Lisa Kravitz walking around and looking glum these days, there can be only one reason. Her name is Linda Straface. A four-year letterwinner and this year's captain of the volleyball team, Straface erased three of Kravitz's records this season. She recorded 120 blocks, eclipsing K_ravitz's mark of 85. She also set the single match record for blocks with 17 against Muhlenberg. She also now holds the distinction of being the Lady Colonels' all- time block leader with 301. "Linda ·did a really great job for us at mid-hitter or at mid-blocker," said head coach Doris Saracino. "She was right there at the net and she got in on a lot of blocks. It is going to be hard to replace her." Straface, who comes to Wilkes via Harriton High School in Bala Cynwyd, Pa., where she was a threesport performer in volleyball, lacrosse, and swimming, chose to play volleyball basically just for the love ·of the game. "I really loved playing volleyball," Straface said. "It took up a lot of my time, but I really enjoyed it. Even though we didn't win, ,;;e played really well." The fine play that Straface has put forth in the past four years has left Saracino speaking volumes about her. "Linda is probably the best blocker Wilkes has ever seen," Saracino said. "She -has great timing and is quick on the block. The key is that she always tried Linda Straface holds three records. to intimidate the hitter and get their timing thrown off. Linda gives you a lot of little things. She is an allaround player." All of which has Saracino treasuring more and more the four years she had the pleasure of coaching Straface. "I really enjoyed her for four years," Saracino said. "It's nice to have someone play as hard as she docs. You don't come across that to often." Nor do you come across one who shatters as many records as Straface. Freshman Paul Jellen debuted with a contributing 14 points (five and four). But as progressed, the rookie seemed to fade.

She said that the changewouldmeanmorestatusfor students and faculty even though standards may be raised. "It is exciting and in . the long run a broader number of courses offered could help the students," stated Favilla. Faculty Opinions Vary Although these leaders feel confident about the transition, some ·other leaders are more neutral about the new status. Marcie Kreinces, president of the Student Council, feels that "Students probably won't have many reactions until the changes of the school are made and they decide for themselves whether they are good or by Marlene Ma ngan Beacon Staff Writer Another faculty member said that even though the status is good for the area because it serves the area, there are di sad van tag es forthe students. The professor felt that the small , homey atmosphere that students have come to know will no longer be present in a few years. Even though the school will be getting federal money to improve facilities, in the long run it is the students who will be paying more," stated another faculty member. Patricia Conner Serine, a history teacher, did not see any disadvantages in the change. "The change will improve status tremendously, and the school was already operating as a university anyway," said Serine.

It is still an issue with no clear answers. There are three types of people with beliefs on the subject. There are those who are pro-life and believe abortion is completely wrong. OPINION by Tracy Youells People who think it's up to the woman to decide whether or not to have the child are pro-choice. And those who think abortion is completely justified are pro-abortion. I was unsure where I stood before I talked with some Wilkes College students. I talked with two students who were pro-life and pro-choice. There were a number of differences in opinion. The pro-life student stated, " Life begins at conception. An unborn child is as much a living person as a living child because at four weeks the heart of the baby is beating. Even before that four weeks the sperm and the egg have formed to produce a life." The pro-choice student replied Lo this comment saying, "Aren't the individual cells that meet living before they join?" In response to this question the pro-life student said, "The egg and sperm are not a life until they meet." I chalked up one for the pro-life NOVEMBER 2, 1989 side. It seemed to me that this was a legitimate point in stating life begins after conception. This debated question brought on a new one. I asked the pro-life student if she believed in birth control. Once again she responded, "Like I said the egg and sperm are not a life until they meet, so yes, I believe in birth control." The pro-choice student said, "birth control prevents the egg and sperm from uniting. That same egg and sperm could be done away with in an abortion." At this point I had to give credit LO the pro-choice side of the argument. I thought that the prevention of the cells from meeting was similar to abortion only in the essence that it is denying the birth of a child Pro-life had a strong argument in saying, "Abortion is murder. It is a violent act. Babies are killed when they are suctioned out of a woman in a vacuum-like manner. They are murdered when a woman is injected with saline solution that deteriorates the childs skin and body." The pro-choice student didn't really have a reply to this statement instead this person pondered what the pro-lifer had said. I thought the methods of abortion were the main factor that made me lean towards being pro-life. How could anyone justify these actions? I came to the conclusion that a child should be born no matter what. He or she will have to face the world with whatever sources they have available to them once they are born. Their chances will be just like anyone elses'. Everyone has obstacles to get over. Everyone should be given a chance to even attempt to get over them.

As I received I felt a dry hand on my wet thigh. I looked a large man with a wide mustache and a nt that had given him an indestructable hairdo. He wore a bottomless leather and elongated sweat socks. "I want you to never done anything like this before, but why don't we get naked, rub seaweed over each other's glistening bodies, and pierce our nostrils?" Maybe I'm strange, but I don't like the idea of being sandwiched between two male bodybuilders while a midget tickles my buttocks with a peacock feather. I told this flaming homosexual that I still desired my goddess of beauty and innocence. I also told him of my great admiration for German farm girls, who, having gently attended to hordes of milk bearing farm animals, had acquired splendid skills with their hands. At that point he grabbed the lapels of the sleeveless white lab coat I was wearing, and thrust me across the dance floor. The dizzying flash of light made it difficult to stand. When I did once again become vertical, I found that wildly gyrating patrons had stuffed money, and other cumbersome foreign objects, into the waistband of the open necked, bell bottomed berrnuda shorts I was wearing. Before I could defend myself with an animal cracker, I felt a lengthy article of hosiery whip around my head, and my body drew closer and closer. The next think I knew a particularly heavy woman was holding me by the cuff of my shorts and spinning me around the room, calling out, "Won't you take me to, Funkytown?" After a while, my suspenders gave way and I flew behind the bar, leaving the previously mentioned mammory mama holding my trousers in the middle of the dance floor. In a state of panic, I crawled, partially disrobed, about the floor until I hit my head on a door, and head butted it until it opened, my vocal chords producing high pitched wailing sounds. He was perched on a great volume of pillows, a slim man with a piercing stare. Busty ladies in loincloths occasionally fed him grapes and wiped his lips with silk napkins. He grunted and delicately waved them away, then beckoned me forward. The door closed behind me. "I am the great wise man," he said, "and you have come to seek advice about a woman." I nodded. What else could I do? "You have doubts about me, do you not? I will convince you. This maiden, she lives in a dwelling on River Street in the fabled holy city of Wilkes-Barre, correct?" I knodded. "I, Saniflush, will tell you all you need to know. But first, I foresee, you have something else to worry about." He pointed towards the door. "Hey, how 'ya doin'?" Mother of God, I thought. He towered over me, a fearful eight foot giant of a man, standing in the doorway, waving a spatula above his head. It was the Residence Life hit man and cereal dispenser attendant He had found me. hose now famous words made Mr. Augustine the talk of the campus when he uttered them in his Commentary in the September 21 issue of The Beacon. Many people thought that Augie was being extremely facetious when he said this. Folks were just downright incensed that he would use a column - one that many thought he didn't deserve - to say such blasphemous words. "Who is Augie to say that apathy exists at Wilkes College?" Well, sorry to tell you, apathy is a very large part of this campus whether we like it or not. But, thanks to either a strong effort by the Student Government or a sincere need for a nice couples-night-out, the Homecoming Dinner Dance was the white knight that drove the Apathy Monster from the kingdom. Over 500 people, not including gate crashers and faculty/administration guests, were in attendence at this party held at Genetti's. Close to 100 people attended this weekend's Halloween party held at the SUB. Most of those people were in costume, as well. This really says a lot. Now, if you ask 10 people, you will probably get 10 different reasons as to why apathy is dissappearing on campus. Here is our personal theory on that matter. Since late 1985, Wilkes has been what is termed as a "dry campus." Loosely translated, alcohol is not allowed on campus unless you are of legal age and have it in your own dorm room. A t the same time as this "declaration of dryness," Wilkes created a new position and a new club (a sub-group of S.G., actually) to slay this dragon. . Enter the Director of Student Activities and the Programming Board. Because of these two entities, students finally had a choice as to what to do on the weekends. It took a great deal of pressure of the Student Govemement, Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council to produce programs and allowed them to focus on their constituents. It took a while for the ball to get rolling but it happened, and Wilkes is a much better place for it. So, believe it or not, Augie's words are beginnig to ring true. Wilkes can be a better place with a little extra work from the student body. All we need is a little shove from each other and things can change. We are becoming safe from ourselves. Most important, however, that evil Apathy monster, although still living, is wandering bloody and wounded through a kingdom in which it is no longer tolerated. The next time you see him, give him a kick for us. �PAGE6 NOVEMBER 2, 1989 Redding and writing at Wilkes by Colette Simone Beacon Feature Writer Marcia Redding is an English teacher here'at Wilkes College. She is from Freemont, Ohio where she also taught at the University of Toledo for one year. It was in Ohio where she also taught at Tiffin University for a year and at Bowling Green State University for three Summer sessions.

The evening began in the hall outside the Beacon office, with a guitar, pizza, and four very bored people. It ended on the square in front of the Martz bus station with Jim and I playing guitar and singing (very badly) for the passersby. The technical term for what we were doing is busking. We were the proverbial strolling minstrels of the Renaissance ... strolling players of an unusual variety. When I first brought the guitar out into the hall, Lee asked if he could play it. After listening to his mutilation of anything resembling music , I attempted to teach him some chords. Soon he was playing and singing Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode in a unique manner, Jim, enjoying the show imc mensely, tried to persuade Lee to take the act on the road. Things escalated from there. Within a matteroften minutes, Jim and I were on our way to the square, with Lee and John tagging along to assure themselves of our honest intentions. You' re not really going to do this, are you? Yes, John we are. Lee left us shortly after we reached the square, but John stuck with us all the way to the bus station, and even sang a few numbers with us. For Jim and I, one of the highlights of the evening was when a skeptical looking police officer told us that soliciting was not allowed. As though people'were really going to pay us. Walking away, he made some sort of comment along the lines of: ...shouldn't worry, you' re going to starve anyway. We're not quite sure what he meant by that. If you asked us why we went busking, we honestly couldn't give you a good reason ... we probably couldn't even give you a bad reason. It was just something that had to be done, so we did it.

Jerry then realized he wasn't ready to swim a great distance without solid ground below him. My heart was swimming wildly as I saw Jerry panic and sink below the surface of the water. He locked onto my legs and pulled himself up above me for air. I was now swallowing mouthfuls of misty liquid as I was experiencing the sensation of drowning. For seconds at a time we were exchanging places as we jockeyed for position to get to the earth's atmosphere. The atmosphere that sustained our lives. During one of the times I was in the open air I yelled with desperation to a foreign man on the shore of the lake. He must of thought we were two assholes joking around. I could have sworn I saw a laughing grin on his face when I looked towards him for help. There were no other people in the vicinity where Jerry and I were seemingly dying. I thought I saw Jerry sink to the floor of the lake for what would be the last time. To this day I believe it was my mind creating the image of him dropping far below. This was because the water was so murky that I don't think I was actually seeing him with my eyes. It then happened.

'Propridors: Pete & Aldo Sartorio by Rob Grysiec Beacon Feature Writer MTV recently began airing two programs with videos from the 1980's "MTV rewind" and "Classic MTV with Martha Quinn" (remember her?). Watching some of these old videos brought a very potent question to mind, "What ever happened to those monsterous pop sensations?" Take Mister Mister for example, with their monumental hit which launched them into superstardom. They were riding high until the release of their follow up album, "Go On," which literally bombed. And then there is Bryan Adams. Back in 1984, the "Summer of 69" was on ever one's mind. But after he thrust himself "Into the Fire," his flame burned out. How about the Cars? They picked up and drove away. Cindi Lauper once ·said that "Girls just Want to Have Fun" but she's not having much fun these days, is she? Duran Duran made everyone want to vacation in "Rio," but their "Big Thing" wasn't a big hit at all. I could go on and on just naming these once admired super stars, Hall & Oates, The Pretenders, Pat Benetar, Survivor, The Outfield ....

Are you at the point where you are contemplating suicide if you spend one more hour in the library reading Shakespeare or working on a chemistry problem? Well , Gay Meyers has just the solution to your predicament. Meyers, who has been at Wilkes a total of 19 years in the capacity of ph ysical education and education teacher, has taken on the position of intramural direc tor. She also coached field hockey for 17 years before stepping down before the start of this season. It was a change she felt was necessary. "After coaching for so long, I felt I needed a change and that it was time to get o ut," Meyers said. "I was always interested in becoming director of intramurals if it ever became a full-time position. In the past, the position always went to the low man on the totem pole. It was always dumped upon them. It makes a big difference when you are not forced into a job." And that difference has been very evident in the number of programs already available to the Wilkes student body so far this year. "There were only four or five intramural activities available all of last year," Meyers said. "We have already had eight different team activities offered so far this fall. I think the big difference has been that we have a gym now. Last year was really difficult since we had no building." Without a doubt, the most popular intramural activity thus far has been flag football. The league consisted of ten teams and claimed over 130 participating students. "Flag football has always been one of the most popular events and this year we had a really good turnout," said Meyers. "I was really happy with it." The league's championship game took place two weeks ago as perennial league power "The GoNads" took on "Night Train". The Nads, winners of two straight championships, got all they could handle from Night Train, led by former Wilkes quaterback Sean Meagley and his rccieving corps of Brian Summers and Matt Huda. But the Nads proved they are a true dynasty and came through with an 8-0 victory. The Nads consisted of captain Marc Palanchi, Steve Schannauer, Bill Buzza, Tony Tackelowski, Jason Ike, Charlie Keys, Merrel Neal, Jeff Churba, Jeff Steeber, Ron "The King" Miller, Mike Canterella, Ron Wesp, Greg Schaeffer, and Mike Schroat. "The Nads were a really great team," Meyers said. "This was the first time in three years they were scored on." Meyers has also arranged a Wilkes flag football team of all-stars to take on the King's flag football all-stars. The game will feature real officials and will take place Sunday, November 5 at 2 p.m. at Ralston Field. But you don't have to be an all-star to participate in Wilkes' intramural program. As a matter of fact, says Meyers, it is designed for the average student. "The varsity athletes all have their sports, so we are trying to get the rest of the students involved," she said. "Most of the students played sports in high school or are j ust interested in working out alll some exercise. We are kind of aimed at the So far, our major problem has been getting involved. We have had men, women, and teams but the response has been low for the would also like to try to get some mor~ co•rec Nintendo freaks and couch potatoes There is a lot going on if you take the initiati "We have four bulletin boards around said Meyers. "One is in the cafeteria, one glass case between the SUB and the Alumm one's in the mail room, and finally one is o office in the gym. Also, every resident given an announcement with all the activities Meyers has also been trying to de apartment list to get information out to any living off-campus. And important information at that. M big plans. "Right now we are holding a three basketball tournament and we are getting reooy a double elimination basketball tournament, Meyers. "We are also trying to organize nights and we will be having a ski trip to V January." If you are interested in becoming a intramural program, you can find Meyers' offi first floor of the Marts Center or call her extension 4036. So enough with Super Mario and the rest crazy Nintendo games. Let's see who can next intramural dynasty- to take the GoNads' better yet, let's see everyone get involved some fun.

(Delivered) WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes field hockey coach Addy Malatesta and eight of her players were honored this past Sunday when they were chosen to participate in the upcoming Mid East Field Hockey Tournament. Sue Barr, Charlene Frail, Alisa G e ller, Tara Haas, Lindsey Krivenko, Michelle Leathery, Martina Petrosky, and Dawn Smith will represent Wilkes when they compete against other regional allstar teams this weekend at Delaware Valley High School. An impressive performance there could mean an invitation to the national tournament at Catawba College, North Carolina later this month.

"Sort of lik~ a knight." It's that attitude, that thirst for football's competition and contact that eradicates the fears which can be so natural from the mindsets of players. "You don't think about that when you're on the field," Mooney said. "Not at all. You're just going out and hitting and trying Lo do your job." Fellow safety Tom McFadden agrees. "When you see an injury happen, you think about it, but if I get injured, I get injured," he said. "It's not thought about too much. We're more worried about making good tackles with our shoulders." Unsworth doesn't sense an aura of danger in the game he coaches. "When you get into a car, you don't think you're going to get in a wreck," he said. "It's the same with football. You don't think you're going to get hurt. "When you think about it, football is a lot safer than some of the other sports. In soccer, there are a lot more knee injuries. Rugby is rough too." An incident similar to the McBride trauma would rave a heavy effect on Unsworth, however. "You form ~n emotional tie with your players," he said. "We lost Craig Piatt in an auto accident a few years ago. That was a little different, but it was very tragic. "Players can't worry about getting hurt on the field.

The Colonels soccer team (10-7-1) has been invited to the ECAC Tournament, marking the first time in head coach Phil Wingert's coaching career that his squad will participate in postseason play. "It's been a goal that we've worked for," Wingert said. "We've been considered in the past, but we've fallen short. This tournament is the next best thing to the NCAA Tournament. The level of small college soccer in our region has improved tremendously. "It speaks well of our program to reach this level. The players are excited." They sure are. "After starting the season 0-3, we didn't get down," said sweeper Craig Larimer. "We regrouped and we're starting to peak at the right time." "I think we earned it," said Chris Shenefield. "And I think we have a chance against anyone we face." The Colonels, seeded third in the tourney, face top-seeded Moravian on Friday in Bethlehem at 2:30 p.m. Wilkes ended their regular season with a 3-1 loss to Elmira on Tuesday. Shenefield scored the Colonels' only goal, with assists from Tom Horbacz and Mike Lenczycki. Before that game, the Colonels won their fifth in a row last Saturday at Susquehanna, 4-0. Andy Renner continued his offensive contributions by opening the scoring with a header past a sprawling keeper after taking a corner kick from Horbacz. Mike Lenczycki (4) attacks for the Colonels, who are headed to the ECAC Tourney. The Colonels extended their lead to 2-0 when Ron Rainey was given a perfect chip by Chris Dahm and powered the ball past the goalie. In the second half, the Colonels put the game out of reach with two goals in the first ten minutes. Steve Moloney scored after Shenefield crossed the ball to him. Rainey closed the barrage with assists from Moloney and Horbacz. photobyo,111 The Colonels outshot the Crusaders Kevin Tronkowski and Chris Law combi shutout in goal.

Widener ,blanks Colonels, 27 by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor EDWARDS VILLE - Football teams with a record of 1-7 are virtually forced to take even the slightest shade of good news and accentuate it. So the Colonels could be forgiven if they looked upon last Saturday's 27-0 loss to Widener at Ralston Field as a positive accomplishment considering they were drubbed 61-0 last year by the Pioneers. But give the Colonels credit. They aren't satisfied with the loss, aren't walking around with the misconception that a 34-point improvement negates the fact that another number has added to the right column of their record.

The "MacClassroom" is located in the basement of · the Eugene Shedden Farley Library and consists of 25 brand new Macintosh SE computers and nine printers that are networked to all of the computers. "The new lab was designed by Language and Literature to be used primarily for writing intensive courses so students could use the word processing capabilities to write papers and so the faculty can see what they are doing," said Gus Stangline, Coordinator of Academic Computing. According to Stangline, the lab is for writing intensive courses first but others may use the lab. "There is a hierarchy that we follow for use of the lab. First and foremost are the writing courses, such as (English) 101-102, followed by writing courses in the core. If there is time open and it is not booked for a writing course, then other professors may use it. If it is not in use at all, it is open to the student body for general use," ad- ded Stangline. Dr. Patricia Heaman , Associate Professor of Language and Literature and Director of the writing center is very happy with the new classroom. "The entire department seems positive·about this new lab. We thought it would be a good place for development of writing skills that go hand-in-hand with the core writing skills. It is especially good for work on revisions." Each professor that would like to reserve space in the lab is only allowed up to six hours of reserved time at a time. If there is more time available, more time may be reserved. According to Stangline, the money for the project came from the PEW charitable grant, the Pennsylvania equipment grant and See Macclassroom Page 6 Express Lane Mini Mart With Gas Hot /Cold Deli 82 8 Main St. Duryea PA 18640 All Maj or Credit Cards Accepted From $19.95 Weekly Specials!!!

It sounds like fun so you accept. During the movie he puts his arm around your shoulder, you do not object, what harm can it do? After the movie you go back to his room to hang out a while. He makes some drinks for the two of you and you discuss the movie. After a while he starts making advances and forcing himself on you and this time you are objecting his actions. He continues to make advances even with your objections. If penetration occurs, you have just been raped by a friend. This is called acquaintance rape or more popularly "Date Rape." Date rape is a violation of a woman's body and spirit. It can 1t·s as easy as countinu from 1 to 10. Guests: from of cles to th, meto w stood in u know ught al: 'spho in H rabid ? Sru .

Alcohol helps to set the stage for date rape by lowering men's inhibitions and- helping them to excuse abusive behavior. This puts the woman in a more vunerable place, especially it the woman herself has had too much to drink. According to the U.S. department of justice a woman is raped every seven minutes, and over fifty percent of the rapes occur on dates. The department of justice also states that over 80% of the victims know their attacker.

She flew off my lap and screamed, ''I'm just not that kind of girl." It was then that I cracked. I told the truth. I shared with them my only goal in life, to have a girlfriend named Bambi. I informed them of my dreams of Jamaican rum factories. Sure, I told a mentally handicapped workman in the cafeteria that I dropped my ring in the lettuce bowl, and had a good chuckle as he spent half the day searching for it. Yes, I accused the neighbors of having less than wholesome relations with sheep. And I told the worshipped God of Residence Life of all these sins. He pounded his fist against his clipboard in anger.

Falling, falling. Thud. drink & drive As Homecoming Weekend comes upon us there are many things that must be thought about. Some very important things are hanging over our heads as we venture into a weekend that is very heavily celebrated at Wilkes. . · The one thing that must be remembered, and the wonderful irony of timing has made even easier to think about it, is being cautious about your alcoholic consumption. Homecoming Weekend marks the tail end of Alcohol Awareness Week. A time of remembrance of friends and loved ones lost to drunk driving accidents. One week set aside to think about the uneeded overconsumption of yet another drug. Maybe we should start thinking about the dangers of this drug and its effect on millions of people around the world. This dangerous and legal drug kills many people in its many different ways. As we observe Homecoming there is one particular killer which we should be aware. Simply put, if you are driving, don't drink. If you are drinking don't drive. Some very cliched phrases but some very true phrases. Does it take so much to give your keys to someone else and let them do the driving? Does it take so much for one of the party goers to decide that, for one night at least, they will not drink because they are going to handle the driving for the night? The best decision that could have been made about the Annual Homecoming Dance was its location. This year, as in the past, the dance will be held at Genetti's, walking distance from the campus. Limited, at best, drinking arid driving. It won't stop this crime and potential killer, but it will definitely make it much easier to avoid the need for such a deadly commute to such a place as the Woodlands. I'm still not the second coming of Carrie Nation, I don't want to see the 18th Ammendment brought back into play but it would be a very nice thing to see alcohol treated as a drug, like its illegal brothers and sisters. I'm not saying make it illegal, that would be even more of a crime, but it must be respected as the potential killer it is. If you are hosting a party, take your guest's keys, don't let them drive home. Offer them a place to crash. Homecoming is supposed to be fun. No one wants to spend their homecoming weekend mourning a friend who couldn't say no to that last drink and then drove off the Market Street Bridge. Just be careful. The Beacon is no place to read an obituary. The mass huddled in the white lab coat, and that mass was me. I shuffled through the streets, past piercing stares, towards the sanctuary of Miner Hall, wherein I knew I could find the healing comfort of someone special, someone who makes life worth living. And that was where I trekked. It was not until some weeks later that I knew how my sins were punished by the Gods. They sent a note home to my mother. oho/ treatment is attainable ed that ninety perers in America are eir drinking.

The dependent BB drinker will also have developed a tolerance to the alcohol. The last type of drinker is the . addicted drinker. This is the person who already is or is becoming an alcoholic. A person who is addicted to alcohol will have a change in his personality. He may become moody, and he may isolate himself from others. This individual may also withdraw from activities which he previously enjoy~. The addicted drinker will prooably have an "I don't care" attitude, and this, in tum, may cause a drop in his grades. While under the influence of alcohol, this person may cause others emotional pain by saying or doing something that hurts them. He will probably deny that he has a problem with alcohol, or he may make excuses or blame others for his addiction. He will drink in order to alleviate pain or to cope with his problems. This individual is not able to control the extent to which he drinks. The first step in the treatment of an alcohol problem is gaining admission into a treatment program. Before this can occur, the person needs to be confronted about his problem. A group of two or three people is most effective for the confrontation. The people in this group should have some influence over that person. The person must stop all drinking if the treatment is going to be effective. He must learn that he is able to go on without alcohol. Compliance is the second step in the treatment process. At this point the person no longer doubts the seriousness of his problem. He is now able to verbalize his problem. The third step of treatment is acceptance. The person realizes the severity of his symptoms, and he can appreciate the fatal nature of his disease. The fourth and final step of recovery from alcoholism is the act of surrendering. The person is now open, warm, and self-accepting. He is realistic about the problems of the future. He also realizes that his treatment is not finished, and he is willing to continue as long as it takes. The most important fact that people have to realize is that alcohol is a drug and can become an addictive habit.

There were about five of them left so I obliged her request. Once again I would giggle silently at the expense of the poor lady. She wanted to get the item now so she would have it for Christmas. Many of the toy shoppers I observed had Christmas on their mind when they were searching the aisles. I could hear them whispering December words as they frantically looked for good buys. Women were usually the victims of their children's desires when it came to finding Batman and Ghostbusters toys.

This program will be sponsored by B.A.C.C.H.U.S., which stands for Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students. This program is free of charge and will be open to all Wilkes College students. It is the hope ofB.A.C.C.H. U.S. that this program will help to decrease the numerous senseless deaths and injuries that occur each year in our area due to drunk driving. This program will cover a 10 mile radius of the college. Any student anywhere within 10 miles of the college may call the American Cab Co. for a free, safe ride back to campus if they or their driver have had too much to drink to be able to drive safely. One to fourpeopie may get a ride at one time. Students will be receiving a card in their mailboxes on Thursday October 19 with the guidelines of the program, the phone number of the American Cab Company and a space for student identification numbers. At the time of the ride the student must give their student identification number to the cab driver. The student identification num- ber is only to verify that the person is a Wilkes student. No names will be connected to the numbers and these numbers will be viewed only by the officers of B.A.C.C.H.U.S. Everyone is encouraged to utilize this service and encourage others to do the same. This service should be used only by those who need it however, and not merely as a free transportation service. The institution of the safe-rides program coincides with National College Alcohol Awamess Week (October 15-21). The program also coincides with Homecoming weekend. Please do not hesitate to use this service during this party weekend. Party smart - don't become a statistic! Think before you take that drink by Diane O'Brien Special to the Beacon The law does provide a one time alternative to trial, conviction and mandatory jail sentencing. The Accelerated Rehabilatative Disposition (ARD) program -is a means of dealing with first-time offenders without going to trial, but the law contains "reinforcements" to discourage any future driving by "first time " offenders. In addition, the ARD program will not be available to drunk drivers who have caused serious injuries or death. To enter the ARD program, the first time offender must: in an accident. -Give up his/her license for at least one month-possibly a year. -Attend a five week Alcohol Highway Safety School. -Live up to all requirements or return to court to face trail and convictions. -Understand that any second offense of drunk driving within seven years will be treated as a second conviction with a minimum of30 day jail term. -Pay for all costs associated with school, treatment, evaluations, restitution and other fees imposed by -Plead guilty of drunken driving the courts. , · -Be recommended by the DisAs a general rule, if you have trict Attorney following a review of only one drink per hour, you are not the drivers alcohol intake profile. likely to become too drunk to drive. -Waive the right to a trail.

In Pennsylvania, drunk drivers will not escape the consequences of their actions. Upon conviction, drunk drivers can be sentenced to jail. A police officer can require a suspected drunk driver to take any or all of the three major alcohol test: breath, urine or blood (the most accurate and most commonly used to determine alcohol levels). Refusal to submit to testing will result in one year license suspension and can be used as evidence at a trial for drunk driving. A test showing blood alcohol content of .10 or greater while driving is evidence of drunk driving.

Now imagine finding out that your best friend is dead. Many people at Wilkes have been touched by the tragedy of losing a friend due to a drunk driving accident. Students on campus have revealed circumstances about their ,rsonal experiences concerning alcohol related accidents. One senior student talked about a girlfriend who was killed three days after high school graduation when the van she and seven other students were traveling in was struck by a drunk driver. The friend was killed instantly and the driver of the van was paralyzed from the waist down. A sophomore student's friend was decapitated while driving home intoxicated from a football game.

"When was that?" "I said when I was 18". His voice had an edge of impatience to it. People continued to brush past Charlie and I. We moved to the steps of the Metropolitan and sat down. I could feel it was cold through my jeans. Charlie plopped down under the weight of the backpack. His feet kicked up and rested on the step below him. I could see how filthy his feet were. The bottoms were covered with a thick layer of tar, and the top of his feet were scarred and scratched. I found out that Charlie had been married. He never had kids. He loved New York because everyone wanted to go there, and the skyline looked nice at night. He also loved Lou Reed (his favorite song was "Take a Walk on the Wild Side"), and he didn't agree with putting men in space. Charlie never went into much detail about anything. I could tell a lot of thought went into his philosophies, but he didn't take much time to explain them to me. He would say something, and I'd have to take his word for it and ask him no further questions. After talking for about ten minutes, conversatiowstarted to get slow. I started to hear the city sounds again: the horns beeping at eachother, the harmony of the traffic, and the hiss of the subway under the street. I struggled to find things to ask. "Do you have a job now Charlie?" 'Tm the entertainment". I didn't know what he meant, but I left it at that. He started to play with the brass key chain of a train hanging from the zipper on his backpack. I could tell he was getting ready to leave. His eyes followed a family climbing the steps to the museum . . The mother was walking slower than everyone else, her one leg seemed shorter than the other because she kind of wobbled. She was weighted down with shopping bags and a model of a dinosaur one of her boys probably got at the Museum of Natural History. Charlie watched them until they disappeared through the glass doors.

For a day New York was .... by Jim Clark Beacon Sports Editor NEW YORK -A week ago at 5:15 a.m., New York was a place of Darkness. The skyline was shrouded by fog, producing the illusion that Manhattan was missing. Tom Pearce was worried, but the rest of the group reassured him. Hey Tom, if you, Amy Braun, Eddie Lupico and I arose at 3 a.m. to trek to the Apple, it had better still be there. We dropped Amy's car at a Park and Lock on 42nd Street and set out for Central Park. Except for two men shoving another into a phone booth, this stretch of usual activity was starkly empty. It was also very chilly. Central Park's expanse held only the sleeping homeless and the birds, which sang poetically. And us. We took a perch near the refurbished ice skating rink that Jon Bon Jovi likes to invade at wee hours and waited for the sun. It was amazing how in a city of so many millions we could discover such peace and privacy. Our star finally surfaced and spread its light throug~ the steel jungle in the distance. New York was breathing and awake. Amy wasn't, though. She missed Che sunrise, choosing instead to catch a nap on a brick ledge. That's okay. She did all the driving. Sadness.. . Just as we read it, a huge rat emerged from the bushes and ran across our path. Yeah John, that's about the size of it. Circumstance... We walked toward the Museum of Natural History, with the mist rising from the Park's lawns providing the spectacle of a white sea. Tom and I simultaneously noticed a certain network news anchor hurrying by the opposite way. Peter Jennings, engrossed in his New York Times, was definitely in a rush to get somewhere. We had to run to catch him. Amy tapped him on the shoulder and he flinched, his legs shooting into a wide stan~e and his nervous hands fumbling his newspaper. I strained to keep from laughing. "Hello," he said, sensing our surprise at his panic. ''I'm sorry. The last person who approached me on the street did so with a gun. What are you doing today?" It was about 7:30 a.m. and Jennings looked harried. His tie was loose and crooked and vestiges of makeup dotted his wrinkled face. This was clearly a tired man. We told him that we came to meet people, which was our true goal. "It's astonishing here," he said. "I went to dinner the night before last with the mother of the prime minister of Pakistan. It was like sitting next to a history book. "That's the one thing about New York. It's got a lot wrong with it, but every time you turn around, you trip over someone from somewhere else."

"My brother says it was time to get out after two months of fighting," he remembered. "I had to run because only those who are45 can get passports. Young people have to go to the army." This Queens resident has been robbed three times in his cab, yet he plugson. "NewYorkisnottoobad and not so good," he says. "Everyone can work, but there is danger. There are good and bad people everywhere." He insisted that cab driving had made him a more patient person, but from the way he honked his horn about every 1.8 seconds, I found it hard to believe. We arrived at the Hard Rock. I think Abdul knows more about hard knocks. ' Nostalgia ... We were finally freed from a cordoned city block because President Bush's motorcade was finally past. We couldn't even get close, but I'd rather talk to New York's finest anyway. As Eddie was still screaming "Is this America?" to the officers, Tom spotted a man who was part of all our child- 19, 1989 hoods. Bob McGrath, "Bob" from Sesame Street, was suddenly conversing with us. "Did we all grow up together?" he asked. "You better believe it. You were like a father figure." "Really?" He seemed a little embarrassed. "How did you get involved with Sesame Street ?" "It was sort of a fluke. A friend who went to the University of Michigan told me about it. It's a nice place to be because it allows enough freedom to do a lot of other things. It's like the best of all worlds. Are you having fun today?" More than you'll ever know . Compassion ...

For those few days, I had a companion, of sorts. I went home for break, and when I returned, it was gone. I haven't seen is since. I miss that butterfly. Once again, I have more rumors to dispel. The first rumor is about the cafeteria next year. As some might have you believe, the familiarcafeteria system will be replaced by a communal feeding trough. Rows of long tables, each with a trough in the middle, would be set up. One person would then go to a knob at the end, and open it. The "food" would then gush out .. usually. The pipe could get backed up by something big and nasty, until pressure behind it_ would finally burst the clog and then ... I don't even want to tbink about it. Anyway, you don't have to worry about it, 'cos it isn't true. Second, it is not true that every other dividing wall in Miner is being knocked out to create space for broom closets. The rooms just wouldn't be big enough. Thirdly, there is no solid evidence that shows that the computer labs are sometimes closed at strange hours for bizarre satanic rituals. Few, if any people on campus are involved in the outright worship of Macintoshes. And even then, the satanic computer cult is very small indeed, and really harmless. Fourth, it is untrue that WilkesBarre is the site of strange government experiments, like the use of a new chemical designed to make giant insects .... or the world's first underground nuclear power plant. There is some ,other reason to explain that one vent that is gushing out incredible amounts of steam, but I have no idea what. The gate to hell is in Pickering, so that's not it... Hmmmm.

Shortly after the.third game of the 1989 World Series in San Francisco had started, also known as the Battle of the Bay, an earthquake struck and produced the Rattle of the Bay. Just before the game occured millions of fans had tuned into see the Giants and the A's clash on ABC. This game was considered by many as a major event in American society. However, this major occurence quickly became secondary · to the earthquake that shook San Francisco. It was a quake that registerd 6.9 on the Richter scale and was the largest rattler in the Bay area since the infamous San Francisco ea.--thquak:e of 1906. That tumbler killed over 700 people producing great sorrow across the U.S. Smiles were turned over once again as many people heard the disturbing news of the San Francisco earthquake of 1989. At least 250 people had been reported dead. However, some life had come from the destruction left behind. · There was evidence of the good- natured human spirit abound after the quake had shaken the Bay area. Pictures were pouring in over the television waves. These images showed unity, love, and caring among many residents of California. Hoards of men rushed to the aid of firefighters in one town. They lifted long stretches of water hoses and toted them from location to location in the battle against out of control blazes. People repeatedly comforted each other. Holding one another, offering calming words, and simply standing beside each other in a time of distress. Baseball players from both the Oakland Athletics and the San Francisco Giants put their boyhood dreams on hold. They rushed to the sides of their wives and children so they could attempt to preseve the future dreams of their offspring. In one photograph A's pitcher Storm Davis could be seen taking a baby from an unidentified woman in the stands of Candlestick Park. It was apparent that she gave the baby to the A's star so he could take the child to a safer place. The world becomes a safer . place whenever a person puts his · material and personal passions aside in an effort to help someone else. What is the meaning of life? ...

"I am just happy to see both teams enjoying themselves, especially under such adverse conditions," said head coach Kathy Miller. "We seemed to have played better as a unit than we ever did_" The Lady Colonels also lost to Elmira 1-0 last · Saturday, but the closeness of the score was an encouraging sign to team captain Dawn Hosler. "We lost 11-0 to them last year," she said. "This year we showed vast improvement. The biggest problem we face now is that we need to be more motivated before we play to our potential." In Tuesday's game, Scranton jumped out to a 5-0 halftime lead. Monica David scored two goals after the half to put the game out of reach. Last Wednesday, the Lady Colonels squared off against Bloomsburg in an MAC contest. The Lady Huskies pulled ahead 2-0, but Nancy Fitzgerald scored on an assist from Tiffany Zottola to cut the deficit to 2-1. Bloomsburg iced the contest with a goal in the final 10 minutes to make the final 3~1. The Lady Colonels host Elizabethtown on Saturday (2 p.m.).

McGuire, who ties the knot on Saturday, October 28, saw his team finish last ,Saturday week in the Drew Invitational. The loss drops the harriers' record to 2-9. "We are not running well at all," McGuire said. "We are getting decent individual performances, but overall, as a team, we are not bunching up our runners in the right spots." One big reason for the team's recent misfortunes has been an injury to Scott Mann, who was hit by a motorcycle while jogging in Kirby Park and has been lost for the season. "The loss of Mann really hurt," McGuire said. "Scott had been running really well for us and so far we haven't been able to overcome his loss. Tom Devine is doing a nice job as the number-four man, which is a real key spot in the lineup. Scott and Tom together gave us five strong runners, and now we only have four. Scott's injury put a real dent in our season, plus a few other nagging injuries have hurt us." At the Invitational, the Colonels finished last in the six team field. Pat 0'Co the way, finishing 13th overall with a time of 28:54. Jon Kline finished 17th with of 29:14 followed by Mike Fontinell, who came in 25th with a time of 31:0J. Devine rounded out the Colonels' top finishers, coming in 40th with a time of31:3~ The Colonels have know dropped their last six matches after jumping out IO start. "The kids are beginning to get frustrated," McGuire said. _,.We haven't been any better in the last two weeks. We are going to have to look to string something at home on our own course." The Colonels play host to Allentown and Baptist Bible College on Saturday in Park (11 a.m .). McGuire is hoping his troops will be spurred on by the em homecoming and all of its festivities. "We have already lost once to Allentown," said McGuire. "They got the top runners on us the last time. We are going to have to work real hard to knock them should be able to defeat Baptist Bible." McGuire knows he will get one win soon. But there is no way he can lose on 28. Colonel5 rk-study keeper. athletic needed a i into her sch y) Malateslli athletics," . It's alway! ta deliverec junior, off. goalie t meant Renner reaches offensive heigh For a little while last week the Wilkes soccer team had its own version of hockey's Bobby Orr. Orr, the star of the Boston Bruins, was known for his scoring despite being a defenseman. Orr would terrorize opponets by being a constant scoring threat while remaining one of the best defensive players in the league. Two weeks ago against Baptist Bible, Andy Renner could have made Orr jealous. Renner surprised everyone, including himself, by knocking in two goals from his defensive stopper position. "The most I ever scored in a season at Wilkes was two goals," said the happy-go-lucky Renner. "After I scored the first goal in that game I was shocked. I figured that's my goal for the season. Scoring two goals in the same game was a real shock." Renner, at 6'3", is taller than your average soccer player, which has led Wilkes head coach Phil Wingert to try to utilize his height and get the most out of Renner in set offensive situations by having him win head balls. But it has not always been easy for Renner. "Despite being taller than most people, I was never very good at winning head balls, but Coach has really stressed it. I'm finnaly getting the hang of it." "We try to use Andy whenever we can offensively because of his height and aggresiveness," Wingert said. He is predominantly a defenseman, but we like to push him up when we run a set piece such as our comer kicks and throwins. He has been a real effective part of our restarts." Renner, who is a four-year starter, did not wind up at Wilkes after the culmination of an all-out recruiting war. As a matter of fact, there was absolutely no recruiting involved in the process that landed Renner at Wilkes. Upon graduation from Father Judge High School- in Philadelphia, Renner enrolled at Temple University. As a commuter, he did not become totally enthused with school. "There were big spaces in between my classes and it became a big hassle," Renner said. "Sometimes I didn't even bother to go to class because I had to work to pay my tuition." So Renner talked with life-long friend and current teammate Sean Lockhead, who at the time was also having problems at Carnegie-Mellon University, about investigating Wilkes. "Sean and I have known each other since we were three years old," Renner said. "We both came up for a visit and were accepted." "Andy was a real pleasant find," Wingert said. "He contacted me when he first came up to school about playing. He fit in really well and contributed his freshman year." After a year off from soccer, Renner stepped in to the Wilkes lineup and became a starter in the defensive backfield '.hat set the school record for shutouts in a season with 12. 2-1 win m Lady Calm -1, makini Yet despite comfortable This season, Renner has been a key member of the Colonels' stellar defensive corps. Their goals-against-average is hovering right around one. "Andy does a nice job at stopper back," Wingert said. "He guards the other team's most dangerous offensive player. He has been teamed with Doug Albertson and Chris Dahm for the past two years and the defense has been doing a really good job playing together. When his eligibility runs out, we will have a tough time filling his spot because of his size." Renner enjoys his position in the defense and doesn't feel slighted when the offense receives most of the accolades for the team's victory. He can do without the publicity as long as the Colonels get the win. "It doesn't ·bother me that the offense gets most of the credit for the wins," said Ren_ner. "Everyone wants to know who scored the goals. That's the exciting part." Renner was filled with excitement on Monday as the Colonels beat rival King's College for the first time since he has been at Wilkes. His previous three tries have resulted in two ties and a loss. The 3-0 final had Renner doing backflips as the Colonels recorded their second straight shutout. "It felt great to finally beat King's," Renner said. "We have a lot of good young players, so the team has a really bright future." Renner's future upon graduation in May will hopefully have something to do with his communications degree. He has been working diligently in his years here at Wilkes to prepare for a future in broadcasting. "Last year I worked for Tom Nelson on Wilkes Today," Renner said. "I did sports once a week. Right now, I'm the sports director at WCLH, the school radio station. (Teammate) Chris Arabis and I are doing a sports talk show. It is going to be on once a week for a half hour. We don't know the exact time that it will be on yet but we are looking forward to it. We are going to talk about sports at school ~nd national sports." · " she saic Right now though, Renner will be concen finishing his senior season in a strong manner. Colonels' last 11 games, they have compiled a 7-3-1 Right now, it looks as if the Colonels will wi second place in the MAC. "In the past, the first two teams in the MAC playoffs," Renner said. "They changed the playoff this year and only the top team from each division playoffs. It would have been really nice going to According to Wingert, the team's playoff hopes totally out of the picture. By.winning their remai · games, the Colonels could find themselves get invitation to the Eastern College Athletic Con playoffs. "It is a 16-team tournament all together," said "There will be four regions ranging from New En Virginia with four teams competing in each area. It be a really nice reward to get invited to it. But we continue to win and play hard. If we get big-headed II letdown, there will be no chance of making it." And a trip to the ECAC playoffs would proba great honor for Renner and his teammates.

"My stomach keeps turning. I'm the last line of defense. Chances are if a ball goes by me, it's going in the cage. In the sport of field hockey, every position is tough. But would I switch mine? No." Yet Balestrini considers herself to be a part of the defense, not a sole component. She is very appreciative of her mates. "I have to give credit where credit is due," she said. "The people in front of me are lifesavers. I wouldn't trade Sue Weisgerber, Dawn Smith or Charlene Frail for anyone." Although she was apprehensive about her teammates' comprehension of her le.vel of play, Balestrini is not shy about barking a few directions from the pipes every once in a while. "I assume a leadership role," she said. "It isn't given to me, I take it. It might rub people the wrong way, but I'm not afraid to kick ,someone in the butt. If they're falling asleep, I say 'Let's go."' . That spunk has not gone unnoticed by Haas. "Lisa's always talking to the defensive players," she said. "She sees herself as one with the defense." Malatesta attributes Balestrini's leadership capabilities to a combination of factors. "She has such a great technical knowledge of her position," she said. "She has an excellent combination of quick reflexes and aggression. The latter helps bring a positive attitude to the team. Is it a comedown to play Division III field hockey? "No, I'm more than happy to be here," Balestrini said. "The competition is very good. Bloom is on our schedule this year. That shows something." Balestrini is most reknown on campus for her stellar play at shortstop for the nationally-ranked Lady Colonels' softball team last year. . Vince Trivelpiece's squad recently competed in a weekend tournament against Division I teams and was the only to come away undefeated. Balestrini can't wait for the upcoming softball season. "The spring is a lot more fun," she said. "Not to take anything away from hockey, but the school year starts to wind down and the weather is nicer. And our softball team is a wild bunch." But field hockey is the priority in Balestrini's life right now. As a goalkeeper, her body absorbs a heavy toll, but this true athlete won't be stopped. "That goes along with the sport," she said. "You learn to live with the pain. If you don't, you don't want it bad enough." And a lack of desire will never be one of Balestrini's shortcomings. "Lisa's highly competitive and is a respected leader. Even though she's an individual, she's a team player and the team picks up on that." A three year absence from a sport must have some sort of impetus. In Balestrini's case, it was music. "I play the electric and acoustic guitar, and that got me out of the sports scene," she said. "I play in a band. Music has always been my first love." photo by Donna Yedlock Lisa Balestrini has assumed goalkeeping chores.

It was a totally different story in the win over Wesley in which junior running back Brian DeAngelo ran for a school-record 227 yards on 30 carries. His performance earned him the Don Hansen Football Gazette East Regional Division III player of the week, the ECAC player of the week and the MAC co-offensive player of the week. "The thing that made that possible was the blocking of the offensive line," Unsworth said. "Our line beat the hell out of theirs." The passing game faltered as Lucas completed just 11 of 29 for 139 yards and one interception. A high point was backup Bill Crimmel's 52-yard touchdown to Dave Mack for the game's last score. A 30 mile-per-hour wind slowed the aerial attack considerably. "It bothered Joe," Unsworth said. "We had to put in a lot of short stuff." The defense has been playing extremely in certain areas, especially the linebacking corps. Steve Tehansky had 18 tackles against Wesley and 10 at Delaware Valley. Craig Grochowski's two game total was 18. "We've been establishing run-through lanes for our linebackers," Unsworth said. "The defensive line has been sacrificing itself." But the mistakes that cost the Colonels the Delaware Valley game have put the euphoria of their first win on the back burner. What's next? "They have to prove to the campus and everyone coming to Homecoming that they are a good football team." (The Colonels host Lebanon Valley at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.)

The Colonels (7-6-1) beat King's 3-0 on Monday at Ralston Field. The victory pleased Phil Wingert, whose squad holds an impressive 4-1 -1 mark in the MAC. "This may have been the best team effort of the year," Wingert said. "The margin of victory was the greatest since I've coached here. The defense also did a fine job to get their second consecutive shutout." . Kevin Tronkowski and Chris Law combined for the blanking. Offensively, Chris Shenefield scored two goals and added an assist. His first was assisted by a Steve Moloney throw-in and gave Wilkes a 1-0 lead. Ron Rainey made it 2-0 when Shenefield crossed a comer kick to Mike Lenczycki, who flicked the ball to Rainey for an open-net score. Shenefield's second goal was the result of an Andy Renner comer kick and a masterful Lenczycki chip-pass. The Colonels also pummelled Delaware Valley, 7-0. "It was good to put a team away like that," Winge.rt said. "Everybody got a chance to play and our fo ur goalies combined nicely for the shutout." Ron Rainey controls the ball for the Colonels. Rainey gained the hat trick with three goals, Lenczycki scored his first of the season and T.R. Andrake and Bruce Higbee gathered their first career goals.

Schedule Wesley 10 times a season. 2.) Stop turning the ball over in key situations. Although the first may be attractive considering the Colonels' 35-7 win in Dover, DE two Saturdays ago, the latter would benefit them in the hard, real world of the MAC. Take, for instance, the six turnovers that sullied the Colonels' ugly 38-20 loss to Delaware Valley last Saturday. Four lost fumbles and two interceptions took the fire out of an offense that amassed 451 total yards and time after time threatened to pull a victory from a sloppy effort. Trailing 31-20, the Colonels recovered at the Aggies' 30 yardline with 8:30 left, but Lucas passes fell incomplete. The only Wilkes could muster was on carries DeAngelo and Bill George.
