"Congratulations to the people of Wilkes College for helping to inform residents of Northeastern Pennsylvania about radon."

The alarm at the Wilkes College Bookstore went off Tuesday evening at approximately 10: 10 because of an attempted break-in. The entry doors, the first of two sets of doors, were forced open, causing the deadbolt lock that kept the building secure to fall to the ground, according to Wilkes security officer, Dale Mark Hughes. Nothing was stolen and the intruder did not get past the first set of doors, according to Erin Ostroski, the manager of the bookstore. Hughes was checking the rear doors of Chase Hall when the alarm sounded. He approached the bookstore from the rear. Seeing no one fleeing the scene, he entered the bookstore. "The door was open approximately two inches and the inner [light] bulb was off," said Hughes. ''The alarm was ringing; apparently it scared the intruder off. "The intruder most likely ran toward South Franlin Street because, as I came from the back, I saw no one running around either side." No one in the library, which is adjacent to the bookstore, saw the escaping intruder. "Very little money is kept inside," Ostroski said. "The merchandise would be the lure for a burglary." The wood around the lock was damaged from the attempt The age of the wood apparently made the lock much easier to break off. Ostroski said that security personnel are considering the installation of steel frame doors. The security team had trouble resetting the alarm, apparently because the door that was damaged was See Break-in page 4 �December 8, 1988 PAGE1WO Dean Arthur Hoover: a loving tribute Dean Hoover was student oriented. His life was dedicated to the students; he even lived on campus. He had very few outside interests, aside from the theater. He was friendly, approachable, and highly intelligent. He did everything to get students through school. I remember recruiting him from Glen Lyon High School. He was a great guy and a great asset to the College. --John Chwalek, Special Assistant for College Advancement He was my student helper at the switch board and during registration, he was a fantastic guy. --Dorothy Schlingman, Secretary, Capin Hall . In all of the years I've known him, he never had a bad word to say about anyone. He was friends with everyone. --James Rodechko, Dean of Arts and Sciences As we approach the second anniversary of Art's death our loss remains very real. He was much loved and respected by all of us in his family. We miss his wisdom, his joy especially now at this holiday season, his honesty and his caring. We still find it hard to believe that he is no longer with us. As we drive by Wilkes, we expect to see him walking down the street. Art was and still is a part of Wilkes College, just as he was and still is a part of our family. We miss him so much, but enjoy our fond memories. Our family thanks your family for remembering Art in this special way. --Nancy, Muriel, Aunt Tillie, Mary Lou (Class of '65), Francis, Peter and Aimee (Class of '89) Zaleski One of the most generous-hearted, modest persons I have known, Art always had time to listen. One never learned of his tough days, albeit he had the sensitivity to cheer others when they felt blue and the intelligence to know how best to approach their problems. His presence on this campus enriched Wilkes beyond measure. He is deeply missed. --Betsy Bell Condron, Director of Community Relations When I think of Arthur I think of the old gym. I never attended an event in that building when Arthur was not there greeting people at the door, knowing almost everyone by name, sharing his friendliness and love for Wilkes with everyone. My other picture of Arthur is with students, either with one student or with a group of Wilkes students, encouraging them, sharing their hopes and dreams, helping them overcome temporary setbacks. He had a sense of fun that was contagious. I can think of no one in any of the many colleges and universities with which I have been associated who was so totally faithful and committed to the institution as Arthur Hoover was to Wilkes College. It pains me to knoi,v that he will not be at the door of the new Marts Sports and Conference Center to greet our students and our many fans. However, he is very much a part of that new building in that he is one of the builders of this· College. We still miss you, Arthur. --Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth, President of Wilkes College three things come to mind: hearty laugh, and his College and the studenlS. involved in the student lege. It was common to sporting events, dinner dances, and any other He had his own way of event At one rock co leaving because the ham Arthurdidn'tseeitthat During this holiday season when emotions are guided by our religious values, family traditions, and rememberences of beloved friends and family members, I find myself with very special memories of Arthur. Arthur emiched my life in so many ways that I carry him with me everyday. The memories and emotions I have of Arthur during this special time of the year are vivid and embedded as some of my most cherished recollections of Christmases past. Each of the first seven years I worked at Wilkes we would gather together with Arthur in Dean Ralston's office in Weckesser Hall for a very special Christmas celebration just prior to departing home to our families. I can scarcely imagine a warmer fellowship with friends and colleagues. We would always conclude our parties with a round of carol singing. While our voices were often out of tune, our enthusiasm and sentiments would always harmonize into a spirited effort. While we sang in unison, there was always one exception. Each year Arthur would sing for us in his ancestor's native Polish, "Dzisiej W Betlejem" (Today's Bethlehem). He sang with such emotion that we all realized that this carol stirred special memories of Arthur's Christmases past. As I celebrate this holiday season, "Dzisiej W Betlejem" now stirs for me memories of wonderful Christmases past and a friend so deeply missed. --Paul Adams, Associate Dean of Student Affairs To remember my friend Arthur Hoover is to remember so many good things. I cherish his love of students; his love for this College; his devotion to both. Arthur and I shared dreams as well as troubles; laughter as well as tears. But mostly we shared comradery and a common vision. To become the Dean of Students at Wilkes with Arthur's raison d'etre his untimely loss gave me the same privilege. I think of Arthur each day -- with deep affection and much joy. --Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs When I think of Arthur Hoover, I think "friend." During the eighteen years we both worked in Weckesser Hall, Mr. Hoover must have answered hundreds o( questions for me and always did so cheerfully. He was never too busy to .offer a helping hand! I treasure the memory of our many conversations and our many laughs, and I think his spirit is still very much a part of Wilkes College. --Peggy Corbett, Administrative Aide, President's Office Art Hoover was born in ,the Wyoming Valley and he has never left it. He was born for Wilkes College and blessed it forever with his spirit. His ndomitable, upbeat attitude gave luster to the glow of his beneficent spirit, mriching the generation with which he lived and endowing us with a legacy 'orever. Art was a Wilkes undergraduate and graduate, a faculty member 'teacher), wise counselor, helper, friend to thousands, students' best friend, a :olleague and my closest associate. He can never be replaced. We pray that he benefits of his spirit not be lost, but appear forever in the culture and haracter of Wilkes. --George Ralston, Dean of Student Affairs-Emeritus It's hard to believe that Art's been gone for two years -- and probably 1at's the best comment I can make. It seems like yesterday that we ttended meetings together, or I saw him at a ball game . . . Maybe that's ecause so much of Art is still here. I do know that he would really :,predate the Marts Center. It's too bad that he can't be here to enjoy it! --John F. Meyers, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs Art Hoover was my Wilkes College.

It seems like yesterday that I was meeting this m an in the seersucker suit in the lobby of the Sheraton Crossgates as I nervou sly awaited my dinner interview for the Director of Residence Life position at Wilkes. Arthur made me feel immediately at ease with his d own to earth charm and unique personality. Within moments I felt as though I was talking to an old friencl. Throughout dinner, as conversation flowed from topic to topic, Art was always quick to bring up Wilkes and all that it had to offer. He spoke with such a fondness for the College to which he dedicated his professional life. I left the interview that evening feeling very enthusiastic about working at Wilkes, and with Arthur Hoover: When I moved to Wilkes-Barre one month later, Art made my wife and I quickly feel at home. Within an hour of our arrival, flowers were delivered to our apartment welcoming us to the "Wilkes Family," from Art. The semester went quickly except for the constant ribbing about the Red Sox loss to his beloved Mets in the World Series. Throughout the semester, I constantly sought out Art for advice and guidance and was always amazed at the patience and time he gave me to insure that I was feeling comfortable in my new position. It was a quiet December evening when I heard Art had died. My wife and I truly felt cheated that we only knew Art for just a few short months. In that time we saw a man who loved his work, his College, and his students. Wilkes suffered a tremendous loss on that December evening, but we have much to be thankful for that Art chose to unselfishly commit his m any talents to the College. --Mark Allen, Associate Dean of Student Affairs 111 pl h, ta ware of the ollege food regard to the by their pa- br u. roclarify, I amnotan n, and I am not in of wasting any food. you hold the same fully aware that the not in business beit to be their moral ungry.

Exactly whose fault is it that the dining service is not making the profit that they had expected because their bid was too low? The manager of the food service seems to think that it's the students' fault. (I guess I can also assume that it will be the student's fault if the new gym is not completed on time?)

Also, there have been times whe0- I had to stand on my turkeylettuce-tomato-on-whole-wheat sandwich to compress it to a size that would fit into my mouth. The amount of lettuce that is being placed on the sandwiches in the ''Fast Food Favorites" line in one day is enough to feed a colony of guinea pigs for at least a week. Again, a lot of this gets sent to the depths of Pickering Hall to be disposed of. Finally, is it really necessary to surround everything served in the cafeteria with that green foliage? I hesitate to call this vegetarian food. Never have I seen a person scoop up a plateful of this undergrowth with the intention of making a meal out of it. Is it really necessary? I don't recall the last food service going to such extremes to camouflage what amounts to the same food. Mr. Food Service Manager, there are other ways to cut the costs of running the dining hall than to convince your patrons to be good little girls and boys by eating everything that is put on their plate. I don't feel thatyourmethod will be effective. Thank you, Arthur Hoover was many things to all of us. He was a colleague, he was a confidant, he was a teacher, he was a role model, an example. But mostly, to each of us in very different ways, I would have to say for each of us, "Arthur Hoover was my friend." He was just simply, totally, and completely my friend. Arthur didn't have acquaintances--he might of thought of them as acquaintances--but they considered him their friend. As a colleague, eighteen years ago Arthw took me ever so gently, never forcefully, under his wing and taught me the ways of Wilkes -- its rich lore -- just as I've seen him do for Phil Wingert, for Jodi Kest, for Mark Allen, for Mark Sowcik. You didn't have to work for or with Arthur -- he still, gently, became your colleague and helped you. And yesterday morning I was in Art's office with a young man who had an appointment to see Dean Hoover. I had not met the boy before. He sat in front of me and said, simply, "Mr. Hoover always helped me when I was here. He was the ' first person I met when I came to Wilkes. He always helped me." So many hundreds, thousands of students at the College could say the same. As Paul Adams and I began to work at Art's desk, no less that half a dozen letters surfaced--all written this fall--all from graduates--echoing the same sentiment, "You made it possible." "You got me through." "You always helped me." Some of those letters came to Arthur by way of congratulating him on his appointment as the new Dean of Student Affairs. And let the record be clear--how Arthur wanted that job and how Arthur loved that job! Arthur spent his life preparing for that job, following the example of the mentor many of us were privileged to have in George Ralston. And even though his tenure as the Dean was brief, Art made his mark. Those of us closest to him logistically saw his dedication only increase--if that be possible--saw his hours on the job only extended--if that be impossible. And just as we all Anthony J. Krawczyk knew Arthur was fun to be with, Arthur was fun to work with. He made it fun. Although he was a very public man--he knew LEITER POLICY everybody it seemed--he was also a very private man, but you Letters to the Editor are encouraged always knew how he cared about you. And he always made from all. Letters must be signed to time for you.

Atte.ntion all It is fitting we gather at this time of the year for Arthur. members of the Arthur loved Christmas.

Professor Farrar to retire This past Monday evening I watched attentively an episode of the once popular television series "The Paper Chase." The subject matter of the episode evoked a sense of understanding while providing an interest- . ing perspective of a happening soon to take place here at Wilkes. The focus of ''The Paper Chase" was the retirement of a well respected and greatly endeared professor. It highlighted the professor's career accomplishments and the sincere admiration of his students. The most moving scene in the program was when the retiring professor expressed to his class the sense of ac- . complishment he derived from devoting his career to the teaching of young minds.

After years of college I have reached that parting gate through which the flowers of my knowledge must grow, to bloom elsewhere upon the corporate ladder. Alas, I knew it well would come. Yet, parting is sweet sorrow and all that. Beside, let's face it, I've got Senior-itis so bad you could float ships in it. I've been in school over twenty years! Not constantly, you understand, but sporadically. So at this juncture I must take an inventory of my garnered wisdom. Let's see. I've learned to hate philosophy. That's one thing. And math and all those linear equations that I'll never have to struggle with again. That's another. And what, I want to know, will ever remain from any of those lists I struggled to remember to pass some outrageous multiple choice tests? Gone, gone with the wind. But I have learned to appreciate knowledge. I've begun to undcrstand how all things link together, what stars are made of, the significance of iron and granite, and just who Australopithecus afarensis might have been. That's something. And patterns. That's another. Honor and morality and liter- ature. There're a few more: I want to thank Dr. Patricia Heaman for her insight and experience in wnung; Dr. Fiester for his brilliance and his humor; Dr. Kaska for Milton and Shakespeare; and Dr. Gutin for William Butler Yeats. I have also learned that young people are still seeking and learning and loving. It has done my heart good to be among all of you, and to be treated as a friend, in spite of my whiskers. I have learned to be patient. To ask questions. To discover common ground. I have learned to survive on peanuts. I have touched minerals, looked through telescopes, been on television, acted in plays, written this column. Lord, I've been so busy I wonder what I'm going to do back out there in the real world. Alas, the real world. That's where I'm from. A few more hard knocks with a degree in my pocket, I'm looking forward to it. Hey, I've got a new novel. And thanks to Dr. Heaman's help, I've really tightened up. the writing. You see, gentle reader, there is a point to education. These long four years you dedicate yourselves to, sweat for, sacrifice for and achieve, through pure determination, past tests and notes and colds and books. facts and loves and parents and grades, are a special world apart from that real world. Enjoy it now and do it while you're young. It's hard to come back to it later, believe me. I was a lot richer dumb. Dumb is easy to famous garbage collector. A de- Stella, gree in English is not exactly a ticket on a transcontinental jet trip to to success. Hell, I've known cab "ships" were too gave us a ride to drivers with Ph.D.s. So what is the point? Why do we struggle to pass tests, to study and read things we don't even care to know? I guess it all comes under the general rubrick Education. make money. Smart is so much more satisfying. If smart we be. For the measure of a man's knowledge is in knowing how much he does not know. There, see what I've learned? Then there is the small degree of pride that comes from getting the job done, although as anyone who's ever studied the classics will tell you, pride itself is the deadliest of sins. But avarice? Now there's a sin I could get into, especially after spending these last two .years in selfdenial. I want money! I want things! I want a job! But what can I do? What skills have I gained? Maybe I could become a famous Broadway .;,_ actor, or a famous novelist, or a As a wise friend of mine once said, "No matter what they take from you, your house, your wife, your money, nobody can take away your education." Of course, that is back in the days before Alzheimers, but I caught his meaning. So now I've got to pack up my education and head out to greener pastures and start paying back all those damn student loans. Somewhere there's a nineto-five on my horizon with plenty of benefits and I mean to find it Until then, I just wanted to say thanks for being there, for smiling and saying hello, and for reading this silly column which I must now hand over to the next non-traditional student who wants to tum out one extra paper every week for no money. It's been fun. No, more accurately, it's been an education.

Bloom says he likes Wilkes and finds the Wyoming Valley area to be very interesting. He considers Pennsylvania very beautiful, with its empty, wideopen spaces and friendly people. Bloom is especially intrigued by the wide array of churches to be found in the Wilkes-Barre area. He commented · that there aren't many places where one can find such a diversity of churches in a so small an area. All in all, Bloom likes Wilkes and Wilkes certainly likes Bloom. With his friendly manner and wide range of interests, Bloom is able to open the minds of his students to more than just literature read as an assignment.

This time they ended with neither a bang nor a whimper, but a laugh. To close out the semester, and the reign ofBoard chairman Andrew Morrell, the Board presented the comic talents of piano player, ventriloquist Taylor Mason. Rubes® By Leigh Rubin ----.. Mason did his stuff in front of a small crowd in the CPA. Those few who saw Mason were treated to a rare blend of humor that really split your sides. His style was fast paced and strong. This worked for him when he began to do Wilkes-Barre jokes. Two of his favorite targets were King's ("Got a pulse? You're in!") and Penn. State/Wilkes-Barre (The land SAT's forgot"). In fact, he found a poor soul in the audience who actually admitted to being a King's student A great deal of his humor was centered around the entertainment industry. He discussed how Sylvester Stallone makes over $15 million per syllable per movie. He also made jokes about Peanuts, Rap music and The Jetson's ("The baseball team the Astros was named for George's dog. I can hear the dugout talk now, 'C'mon guys, let's win! Rawright...). He also covered sports on television, from ESJ?N ("I watch midgetlesbian bowling at4 a.m.") to a detailed description of John Madden at home with the "CBS Chalkboard."

After three seftJ.esters as Beacon sports editor I leave to go out into the "real world" of journalism or public relations. I am glad to have had the opportunity to work with the coaches and athletes at Wilkes College. We didn't always have teams that won every game but the athletes were first class. I've found the coaches tops and delighted to be of assistance any time; for this I am extremely appreciative. This made my job a bit easier and a lot more enjoyable. I'm afraid to start naming names for fear of forgetting someone so 111 just say a collective thank you. Two coaches who have been especially helpful and who I will miss are Coaches Ron Rainey and Jodi Kest. These two people have always been more than willing to lend a hand whenever I needed it Coach Rainey, thank you for your support over the past year-and-a half. The athletes themselves have been wonderful. Whenever I needed information all I had to do was call. I wish all athletes were as cooperative as you people have been. I've had the opportunity to watch Division I wrestlers compete against some of the best wrestlers in the country. It's also been great to have had the opportunity to watch and interview Jeff Steeber,.a basketball player who was able to travel to Europe and play with the Washington Generals and the Harlem Globetrotters. As I said before, I could go on and on thanking people for all the help and information they gave me, but I'd be afraid that I was forgetting someone. The last thing I'd want to do before I leave is hurt someone's feelings. I would like to thank all the writers who, in the past two years, have faithfully turned in stories each week. These people deserve mention because without them my job would heve been extremely difficult. Thank you, Suzanne Payne, Ray Ott, Andy Renner, and Oscar B. Smith for writing this past fall. You all did a super job. Many of last year's writers have graduated but their effort was appreciated. This past year I have had the fortune to work with a superb writer, even if he is a bit of bozo sometimes. My assistant editor Jim Clark has been an asset to the sports staff. I rest easy knowing that the Beacon sports department is in capable hands. Jim, by the way, where are you going to ,:I from next semester? The Sports Information Department 1w saver from time to time. Last semester stepped in to take over for Patty Moran February. With the assistance of Ray Ou, fantastic job. This year Tom McGuire director and has done a super job. More than office has bailed me out when stories didn\ Thanks; Tom. Last, but not least, I woujd like to say gool rest of the fine folks at The Beacon. For the have made my stay at Wilkes very enjoyable memorable. Good luck to Coach Rainey and the Wi men's basketball team for the remainderofthe of luck to Jim Nolan and Marc Graves who are their 1000th points. I hope Coach Kest and basketball team keep up their good work in their opponents. To Coach reese I say thank times you were of great assistance. Good hd your team for the rest of the 1988-89 season. In the past two-and-a-half years I have wi fine sporting events at Wilkes and I thank memories. Besides the experience I've gained I lot of nice friends. Quotes and notes to end the semest 'Time flies when you're having fun." Ah, who said that? Lee Morrell? Seriously, I speak for the whole staff in wishing Lisa Miller, our graduating sports editor, the best of luck in her career and life. As her assistant, I worked with Lisa more than anyone this semester and received the chance to know her as a friend as well as a co-worker. That has been one of the many benefits of my first semester at The Beacon. If there's one thing I hope to extract from her is that eternal enthusiasm for her work. Take care, Lisa. Thanks for everything. Just "keep those keys handy" and you'll do fine. night, Wilkes jumped out to a 10-2 lead and prevented the Lady Falcons from advancing the ball past halfcourt five straight times, gathering three steals and forcing two turnovers. Kest was also worried about her team's youth during the preseason. If these girls play this well this early in their careers, Jodi, I'll bet you're salivitating at the potential of their later years. Sophomore Nicole Kovaleski scores often and acrobatically in the lane, and freshman Denise Carson is a solid ballhandler. Rookie Lorrie Petrulsky is a ******** "Gee, boss...how 'bout a raise?" I would be remiss if I didn't exercise this chance to let the campus community know what a fine job is being done by Tom McGuire, the new sports information director. Tom joined the ship in early September and has been toiling tirelessly to improve the quality of work in the department. And he's succeeding. Most people don't realize that he reports to work each morning at approximately 7: 15 to update statistics and the like. His work day dQesn't end when he leaves the office, as he has to spend many a night by the phone waiting for the results of away Colonel contests. Then he writes up a story so we can all read about it the next day. He also manages to fit the coaching of Wilkes cross country and Seton Catholic High School basketball into his busy life, which also includes an engagement You're a true Renaissance man, Tiger Tom. Take it from Dave-o Kaszuba and 'The Sea Dog' ... congratulations on a job well done! ******** "We're all experts..in our own opinions." The Lady Colonel basketball squad has surpassed everyone's expectations by jumping out to a 4-1 mark. I get the feeling that Coach Jodi Kest is supremely confident in her team's ability to press full court and can pull that rabbit out of her hat anytime her team needs a scoring run. Case in point: Against Messiah on Monday pressure shooter and fellow frosh Sue Chamecki, although a bit erratic at times, provides a spark off the bench. The glue that holds the team together is senior Melissa Kennedy, who's good for a bunch of baskets and boards each time out. They're young but talented, Coach Kest ******** "So close, but yet so far." Coach Ron Rainey's charges are on the wrong side of a 1-5 record, but all of the losses could have gone either way. For example, against Messiah on Monday, the Colonels fought back from an early 13-point deficit to lead 67-64 late, but the Falcons scored the next nine as the Colonels couldn't cash in from the foul line. A change is being made in the starting lineup; Lou Freeman will step in at center, allowing Tom Doughty to shift to forward. Ray Ott will go to the bench to backup guards Marc Grtwes and Jim Molan'. · ··,, ·. ··• ' Nolan, the junior from Williamsport, points for the magical 1000 mark. ******** "West Virginia will win the championship,"--Beano Cook, late The following ten things will take between now and February, says me, The B swami.

Had we won those two, we would have won the meet "We really didn't look sharp, though. It was the first time this year our guys wrestled seven minute matches." Against Oregon State, the Colonels were the beneficiaries of six crucial match points because of a Beaver forfeit at 142. Wilkes' winners were: Kurt Tamai (8-5 at 126); Anthony Diaz (by forfeit at 142); Mike Schroat (by fall at 158); and Charlie Keyes (11-6 - at 177). Brian Bauer gained a 6-6 draw at 118, as did Frank Goldowski (33) at 150. The Colonel losers were: Dave Bonomo (9-6 at 134); Chris Schaud (10-0 at 167); Ray Mendoza (6-3 at 190); and Steve Schannauer (7-5 at heavyweight). "It's frustrating because Bauer, Bonomo, Mendoza and Schannauer out-wrestled their opponents but lost their matches because of small mistakes," said Reese. "I don't ,thik I've done a very good job of preparing this team. It's very hard when you don't have your own facility. The effort from the kids has been great, but we haven't been able to work on everything we've wanted." . Reese feels that inability to prepare comprehensively has shown on the mat "We've looked good, but not top-notch," he said. "And when you wrestle teams such as Navy and Oregon State, you have to be at your best The Colonels travel to Ithaca on December i3. "If we can finish the semester at 6-1 and get into our own facility, we'll be in good shape.

They pull into town, put on an impressive performance, and leave. The Lady Colonels (4-1) notched two road victories last week en-route to their third consecutive road win and fourth overall vic-tory. They crushed Baptist Bible Friday in Clarks Summit, 94-54. They also outscrapped a tough Messiah team Tuesday in - Grantham, PA, 65-59. Wilkes was too powerful and had too many weapons a-gainst Baptist Bible. The Lady Colonels shot extremely well in the first half, jumping out to a 49-30 lead at the intennission. In the second half, the Lady Colonels completely destroyed Baptist Bible with their pressing defense. They allowed only 24 points while registering 45 points with their run-and-gun offense. They were led by Lorrie Petrulsky, who came off the bench to pace the squad with 15 points and four assists. Senior co-captain Melissa Kennedy scored 15 points and freshman Donna Zurawski contributed 12 points and six rebounds. In the Messiah game, Wilkes came out smoking and jumped all over their host in the opening minutes, taking a 10-2 lead. Messiah hung tough and battled back though, tying the game at 23. Wilkes got a three point play from center Lisa Burak with four seconds remaining in the half to give ·the Lady Colonels a 33-27 lead at the break. The second half was tight and hard fought. Messiah came out and put on an impressive second period and took their only lead at 46-44. But Wilkes fought back, tying the contest at 48-all and then went on an eight point run to give them a 56-48 lead. This lead ·sealed the victory for the Lady Colonels.

Also included -in the ceremony will be an academic procession consisting of some faculty and those who will be presenting the degrees. Speaking for the students, will be graduating senior telecommunications major Andrew Morrell. The President feels that the 40 minute ceremony will be a "homegrown program" that will generate a "warm feeling about the College." Breiseth will deliver what he describes as his "most considered speech of the year." He also said that he hopes the event will draw a large crowd that will "fill the building." In addition to being the first viewing of the new building, the opening event will be the first Convocation of the academic year for the freshmen. In past years there has been a Commencement/Convocation ceremony held during the first week of classes in the fall semester to welcome the incoming freshmen. This year, though, the gym was not available because of the on-going construction and therefore the Center for the Performing Arts had to be used. Because the CPA does not have the The Arnaud C.

Dr. Waldner, vice president of Academic Affairs said that the registrar's office would actually benefit the building in "providing a continuous presence." One of the most complainedabout situations at Wilkes is the registration process. The primary problems have to do with the registrar's current location. These problems, including lack of handicap facilities, space, and various other conveniences, supposedly will be remedied with the relocation in the Arnaud C. Marts Center. Among the most imrortant concerns is that of facilities for the handicapped of whic h, in the registrar's current location on South Franklin St., there are none. There would, however, be such facilities at its proposed location. The plan also suggests a registration set up like that of an airline reservation system or bank teller operation so that the various terminals, each equipped with its own computer, will accommodate the heavy flow of students with greater efficiency than before. This will be accomplished in several ways. As before, a student will be at the room's entrance monitoring the flow of students to the next available "teller" but, in its new location, there will be a separate exit to alleviate the doorway congestion. Since the room will be specially designed, including handicap accessibity, for the purpose of registering, the internal space will be better organized, cutting back on the cramped feeling and noise experienced by the registration staff and students. It is hoped that these adjustments, providing a more "congenial environment," will enable the staff to work under less stressful conditions during their long day. These combined improvements will allow for a greater number of students to register during the day wilh less hassle. An 'ldded benefit for the stu- dents is the fact that the facility is large enough to accommodate numerous students indoors; thus keeping students from braving the elements during the presumably shorter waiting period. It was even suggested that the hallways be lined with chairs. Of course the bleachers in the gymnasium could be utilized if needed. The gymnasium .c ould also serve as a temporary finacial information center, as many students were concerned abo.ut the accessabilty of the finance office' s services which are occasionally needed during registration. �Editorial Many Americans are handicapped in some way, either permanently or temporarily. These people have trouble getting to areas which the non-handicapped find easily accessible. Many buildings and facilities fail to take the handicapped into consideration. The Wilkes College Campus, for example, lacks handicap ramps for entry into buildings as well as adequate access to bathrooms and elevators. These facilities are in I desperate need throughout the campus. First, the dormitories are good examples of places without ramps. These places consist of Miner Hall, Sterling Hall, Chesapeake Hall, McClintock Hall, and Weiss Hall. For example, the entrances of Sterling and McClintock consist of only steep stairways and nanow fire escapes. . th er places which · have difficult entrances are the buildings in which classes are held.

In Min.e r, the hall entrances are approximately 29.5 inches wide, and the stall entrances are only 22 inches. These hindrances to wheelchairs should be remodeled to better accommodate the handicapped. Last, some existent elevators are unavailable to most people who need to use them. Most of the buildings are not equipped with elevators, but those that are, sometimes, do not permit use by students. The YMCA does not permit students to use their elevator unless they are moving in or out. One must use the 78 stairs that are steeply inclined to get upstairs. These stairs are difficult for a healthy person, let alone one injured or handicapped. To illustrate, most college students are in good health, but after the climb, they breathe as though they Some en semester thong Here are some random thoughts: The semester has dwindled down and we are left few precious weeks before we go home for our break. .

Persuading them to write the check, however, is another thing altogether. Which is why Apple created the Student Loan-toOwn Program. An ingenious loan program that makes buying a Macintosh as easy as using one. Simply pick up an application at the location listed below, or call 800-831-IDAN. All your parents need to do is fill it out, sign it, and send it. If they qualify, they'll receive a check for you in just a few weeks. There's no collateral. No need to prove financial hardship. No application fee. Best of all, the loan payments can be spread over as many as 10 years. f: Which gives you and your parents plenty of time to decide just who pays for it all. •• Introducing Apple's Student Loan-to-Own Program CONTACT .....~ 2"':~. - John Koch, SLC 426; Joe Bellucci, SLC 113; Barbara Jamelli ©1988Apple Computer. lnr.

Lady Colonels stun Lycoming by Ray Ott Beacon Sports Wriler The Wilkes College women's basketball team opened its home season last Tuesday night at Wyoming Seminary High School with a convincing 66-54 win over Lycoming College. On Tuesday, the Lady Colonels traveled to Madison, NJ to take on FDU-Madison. The end result was a 65-45 victory for Wilkes. . The Lady Colonels had a balanced team attack, placing four players in double figures. They were led by sophomore forward Nicole Kovaleski's 16 points. Kovaleski was 8-16 shooting field goals and had 10 rebounds. Freshman Sue Charnecki scored 13 points, shooting 5-10 from the field and 3-3 from the free throw line to go along with a game high of four assists. One of the keys for the Lady Colonels in the Lycoming game were to contain Lady Warrior point guard Kim Wood. "With out her (Kim Wood) out of the game we could do a lot of things such as press and pick up a faster tempo game.

Wilkes held a 25-23 halftime lead after shooting an icecold 31 percent from the field and 50 percent from the foul line. But the Lady Colonels came out smoking in the second half, putting a full court press on Lycoming and forcing the Lady Warriors into 27 turnovers ·for the game. The press created tons of opportunities and easy shots. Wilkes shot 73 percent from the field in the second half and got · to the foul line eight times, converting seven. "Its great to be 2-1 but we're still not playing the caliber of ball I think we should be. This team still has a lot of potential," Kest stated. "The Lycoming game was just one game in the conference, when you have 10 games in a conference you can't get over confident after one win." In the FDU-Madison game Kennedy led the way with 16 points and pulled down nine rebounds. Petrulsky was second in scoring with 12. Freshman Krista Zoka was the leading rebounder with 10.

Few know which 20 campuses are in the study, but Tulane and Rutgers universities as well as the universities of Colorado, Maryland and Georgia have acknowledged they're participating. AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome) is caused by a virus which destroys the body's immune system. The virus is most typically contracted by having sex or sharing intravenous needles with an infected person, or by contaminated blood products. There have been more than 76,000 cases reported in the United States since 1981, with · 43,000 fatalities. Campus lifestyles, health administrators believe, leave students especially vulnerable to the disease. "Students are a sexually active group," said Dr. Florence Winship of the University of Georgia health center. And because they tend to be young and inexperience, "they feel immune, even when they know the problem's out there." Many students objected to the CDC study when it was proposed last spring, noting they would never know if a blood sample they gave at their clinic was being tested or if, in the end, they tested positive for the disease. Still others worried samples could be traced back to the donors. In New Jersey, for example, the American Civil Liberties Union lodged a formal complaint with Rutgers University, charging the school's participation in the survey endangered students' privacy. Through it all, however, the CDC believed the study was worthwhile. Sims contends, "The survey will help us focus our efforts." About 5,000 of the 20,000 college blood samples to be tested have been processed, Sims said, showing a rate of about three cases per 1,000 students. Sims said she didn't know from which campuses the samples came. "The only thing we can show from these preliminary results is that there is infection on college campuses. College students are not immune from AIDS," Sims said. "The figure cited is based on just one-quarter of the sample," added Miguel Garcia-Tunom of the American College Health Association. "In that sense it's inconclusive. It'sjustanumber. Butwhat'simportant is not to fixate on a number, but to deal with the problem on campuses. Students must be aware of this." "It's not surprising to me," Winship said of the preliminary figure. While the data may be "skewed" and doesn't "provide the full picture," she predicts the final tally See AIDS page 4 Despite controversy over condom machines, students aren't using them.

At a recent supported by 95% of the faculty, an "overwhelming endorsemen t," he sat'd • The new core has been in the planning stages for the past three years, involving many people and hours. Waldner identified Dr. Bing K. Wong, Mathematics Department; Dr. Lee C. Terry, Language and Literature Department; Ms. Sharon Telban, Nursing Department.; and Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs as being especially instrumental in the success of the proposal. The Curriculum is divided into three main sections: Basic Skills, Distribution Requirements, Physical Development, and the new Core Studies I. C ore S tudi es I , as d escn'bed.m the proposal for the new core, is intended to introduce the freshman to college life, "emphasizing adjustment to college life, study skills, oral communication, self-exploration, and goal setting." Several changes were made in the basic skills area, including a speaking requirement, a foreign Ianguage requirement, and the requirement of writing intensive courses to fulfill the writing portion of the basic skills area. The distribution requirements were renamed and revamped. First is Culture and Value, which deals with history, literature, philosphy, and the understanding ofnon-English speaking culture and language (beyond the foreign language requirement). The Scientific World, which will "provide an understanding of the natural and physical world," includes mathematics, biology, chemistry, earth and evironmental sciences, and physics. Courses from anthropology, political science, sociolog" economics, and psychology are a part of the Social Sciences Distribution. Artistic Expression, the last of the distribution requirements, can be satisfied from selected courses from the Art, Music.and Speech, Communications, and Theater Arts Depart- ments. Each of the four distributions has one core studies (CS) course; the Culture and Value distribution has two. They are courses involving course material relevant to each distribution topic in general. For example, Core Studies IO, Culture and Value, treats the topic of antecedants to twentieth century thinking. It will discuss Darwin, Marx, and Freud, who helped shape political and social thinking. The Culture and Value course, as well as the CS courses for Artistic Expression and Critical Thinking, have already been at least partially prepared.

Maybe it was the dog." Needless to say, I gathered him up and carted him home. Well, folks, how about that nonalcoholic pub? Sure, build it. Why not let people fantasize about being in a real pub?

As he saw it sizzle in the shot glass, he cried like a child and stood up with hopes of leaving. The bartender immediately, instinctively grasped a bowl of pretzels, and hurled them at the fleeing fella, knocking him cold. He then went back to the task of serving carrot juice and the house special, liquified ground peach pits. While nursing my diet milk, I peered across the room, hoping to find my houseboy somewhere. A primitive migratory tribe of nursing majors occupied a large table' in the corner, accompanied by a rather attractive future biologist insulting an enraged bodybuilder. To their side stood the stage, where a spirited kazoo band cranked out everyone's favorite Bruce Springsteen tunes. The entertainment hit a high note when a funny-haired nursing major stood upon the table and joined in with a chord from her harmonica.

"In general," said Rich Wolitski of the AIDS Education Project at California State University at Long Beach, "college students have a fairly high knowledge about AIDS. They know how it is transmitted and what they can do to protect themselves. In September, the CDC reported the AIDS scare apparently had not markedly changed students' sexual habits, prompting Assistant U.S. Secretary of Health Dr. Robert E. Windom to urge campus officials to try harder to educate their students about the plague. Windom said that one-fifth of the reported AIDS cases occur among people 20 to 29 years old. "Since the average incubation period (for AIDS) is seven years or longer, it's clear that many of the 14,000 patients in this group were high school or college age at the time of their infection," Windom said. Moreover, a 1987 survey of college students by Blotnick Associates, a New York polling firm, revealed that only 6 percent of men think about AIDS before choosing sexual partners. "It's a little frustrating," Georgia Winship said. "Their behavior doesn't go along with their education. We need to do everything • we can to transfer that 'yes-I-knowabout-it' attitude to a change in their behavior." She believes students simply may be unwilling to listen to "parental figures" like older college health officials. "Students listen to their peers more than folks who look like their parents," Winship said. Georgia now has a peer counseling program in which students actually spread the word about AIDS, Winship reported. . Virtually every campus in the U.S., of course, now has some kind of AIDS program. Some-the universities of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Iowa and Texas at El Paso, as well as Michigan State, Southwest Missouri State, Indiana and Plattsburgh State College in New York among themhave supplemented education programs by installing condom machines in dormitories and student unions, or by distributiong condoms for free. Critics say condom distribution promotes sexual promiscuity. "Students are not mature," Winship said. "They don't plan ahead." Condom machines, especially in dormitories, "lets them have better access later in the thinking process," just before they have sex, she said. "It's controversial, but it's realistic." • Kristallnacht tradgedy reca by Barbara Jamelli Beacon News Editor Members of the Wilkes College community participated in Kristallnacht ("The Night of Broken Glass") memorial services Wednesday, Novem- ber 9, honoring the victims of the horrible attack against those of the Jewish faith staged by the Nazis 50 years ago that night Tht theme for the evening's memorial was "Not here, not tonight, never again" and was held at Temple Israel, South River Street.

The proposed Speech Pathology Club presented its first constitutional reading for S.G. approval last Wednesday. (Any new constitution must be heard twice.) The reasons for forming the club stem from the new major established here at Wilkes. The club plans to promote knowledge in the field, organize related social and academic activities, and promote scholarship among interested students. Although the club submitted a constitution it will have to be revised according to new S.G. guidelines. The Club hoped to be officially recognized at this week's meeting on Nov. 16. A presentation of the new Gym was given to S.G. members during last week's meeting. It was an overview of all the floor plans with their planned use. Following discussions stemmed from one of the finalists for the soda money: donating it towards finishing a room in the gym. One of the members reminded the others that the decision would be based on how the money could benefit the students best, not only on what needed to be done in the gym. It was then decided that someone would be contacted to answer at a future meeting just how that could be done. The Special Olympics Committee of the Wilkes-Barre area contactedthe director of Student Affairs Amy Wiedemer, requesting any help available in helping adults skate any Wednesday at the Ice-A-Rama at Coal Street Park from 1 to 2:30 p.m. during November and December. Please contact Amy e)C.t 4108 if you are able to help in any way. S.G. members were also reminded of their pledged support to work the Channel 44 telethon on December 12, 1988 from 12 to4 p.m. Freshman election winners were announced at the meeting: President, Gary LaPointe; VicePresident, Sandro Rotella; Treasurer, Bob Hawkins; Secretary, Laura Rozycki; Representatives, EdwardJanison, Andy Feinberg, and Donna-Sue James.

Members of the Palestine National Council, the PLO's so-called parliament, almost definitely will accept the resolution. They will be making a statement to that effect, said Ahmed Abdul-Rahman, PLO spokesman. Acceptance of Resolution 242, passed in 1967, and Resolution 338, passed in 1973, is one of the conditions the PLO must meet to be officially recognized by the United States. �November 17, 1988 PAGE SIX Dream Girl raves in reality by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor Dream Girl is not an illusion. It is a marvelous play and romantic fantasy, directed by Dr. Martha LoMonaco, that was brought in-to the real world in 1945 by playwright Elmer Rice. This past weekend it was a vision of ingenuity, elegance, and hilarity as it graced the stage of the Center for the Performing Arts at Wilkes College. Dream Girl is imaginative. It follows the romantic events of a young woman whose thoughts wander aimlessly at times in a variety of daydreams. At first, her feelings of passion are directed towards her brother-in-law, Jim Lucas, and surface in some of her voluptuous visions. She then meets Clark Redfield, a book reviewer. He shreds apart the book she has written with harsh criticism, and Georgina, the "Dream Girl," fantasizes what it would be like to put his life to an end. One more man enters the dream realm of Georgina: George Hand. He too is a bookman, and he wants to travel to Mexico with the play's heroine. Once again she invisions what this would be like and turns down the offer. The play comes full circle and arrives at a somewhat surprising finale. In the end it is harsh criticism that captures the Dream Girl's heart. She no longer conjures up visions of murder against Clark, only visions of love. The two then elope and live happily ever after? Director Martha LoMonaco wanted to grasp the elegant style of the 1930's and 40's in this Wilkes and King's College interpretation of Dream Girl. The style was seized with -a style all its own. You actually felt like this was the time period of actors Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn; or even musicians Duke Ellington and Glen Miller. This was exactly what LoMonaco hoped to accomplish. This interpretation took place in the 1980's, but it had the atmosphere of the 1940's. In 1945 the show served as escapism for audiences who were run down from the Depression era and World War II. This was a time period when many people fantasized about the finer things in life, much to the likes of Georgina all throughout Dream Girl. Maureen O' Hara is the Dream Girl, and her performance stands sturdy. She has clearly established herself as one of Wilkes' top performers. All throughout the play she exhibits poise and gentle gestures that relate to the elegant time frame she is fixed in. If there ever was a show stealer, Rob Johansen must have stolen this role from all predecessors. He portrays the part of Clark Redfield. Georgina's final love stop, with comedy and character. It is in the beginning of Dream Girl where Johansen first steps upon the stage portraying the cocky critic, and it is here where his comical talents take center stage. After he deeply offends Georgina, he is the centerpiece of her dream table of nightmares. There is a furious thunderstorm raging as Redfield (Johansen) sits poised at his typewriter cackling at Georgina's novel. "Dangling participle!" he exclaims with joy. He screams a variety of insults towards the book, and at the same time he pulls the tail of a black cat. 'Tm drunk and I'm happy!" he yells, and coincidentally ad libs as well. Much of his speech in this sequence is ad libbed as I later learned from Michele Broton, who gave short but sweet portrayals of a bookshop woman and a theatre manager. Johansen later appeared in another comical scene that displayed other talents of this play as well. In one sequence, Georgina is in Mexico with George Hand, played with dignity by a distinguished William Barber. There is a Mexican dancing band that waddles with hilarious hipswings across the stage. Don Semyon and Nick Rumen are present with Johansen during this frolicking fiesta. Christine Brunnock and Christopher Collins give comical performances as Georgina's parents. Gunnar R. Waldmann Rambo calmly but cooly plays the part of Georgina's brother-in-law. Claire Blakely, the bookshop worker, is cleverly conducted by Sarah Turnbull, and Antoinette Wingert turned in a credible performance as Georgina's sister. The production staff was a key ingredient to the sucess of Dream Girl. Designer and technical director Karl G. Ruling brought the three rolling stages to life. These rolling stages allowed for the audience to see two events going on at one time. Whether it be a phone call or a dream, the mechanized modules would move the talent into their respective places. Mara was the designer of the 40's style costumes. The variety of cloth and material was woven neatly into the play to add a real sense of atmosphere. Lighting was an essential part of Dream Girl. Its main purpose was to distinguish or make the transaction from dream to reality or visa versa. The lights would go down to a pitch black, and then rise again with characters poised in either reality or dream. Master electrician Christopher J. Brush and his assistant David Armitage were responsible for dawning the light. Other key people included Stage Manager Bob Wachowski, Sound Coordinator Jason Delcampe, Running Crew Manager Rebbeca Haywood, and countless others. Dream Girl dances along in visions and dreams. It wakes you up to yet another stirring play by the Wilkes-King's college tandem. If you didn't see Dream Girl come back to reality. g000000000 by John Gonion stores.

This Wilkes College quartet originally began back in 1986 as a trio with Jeffrey Eline (a senior from Baltimore, MD) on guitar, Ed Buonocore (a senior from Hillsboro, NJ) on bass, and Andrew Morrell (a senior from Kingston, PA) on drums. Their diversity in taste drove them to compose original music, which is at the core of their present repertoire. Keyboardist Jim Dee (a sophomore from St. Louis, MO) stepped in during the fall of '88, opening up a wider spectrum of musical colors and possibilities. Their music displays a vast background from jazz to classical to rock. Their appearance at the Battle of the Bands marks their debut performance.

For those of you who saw our play Dream Girl, I hope you also had a little fun. But the best show, by far, was going on back stage. I don't mean those little pecadellos and romancettes that spring up during any show, but the actual moving of scenery, setting up sets, pulling the long, ropes to "fly" a piece of business onto the set. That is where the real work is, ~nd I'd like to give a big hand to all the guys and dolls who dressed in black back stage to lift and schlepp, and basically to make us look good out there. From the wings, the stage is like a golden world, a small circle of light in the middle of a vast sea of darkness; props, tables, people, costume racks, and actors waiting to go on. We see the action from the side view and imagine how just beyond the actors on stage sits a sea of faces in the darkened house, laughing, coughing, and hopefully enjoying. What you see is only a slice of what is really going on. We have practiced for weeks, going over the same scenes and the same lines again and again, and then doing our best to make the scene look spontaneous. What appears to you as an easy stroll and a few lines tossed off the top of the head has been rehearsed right down to the exact way to light a cigarette. Actors wait in the wings for a good five minutes before an entrance, going over their lines in their head, feeling their palms sweat with anticipation and just plain nerves. And then "boom," you're out there in that golden world, swimming through a kind of time warp, a frozen moment when you must recall every line, every movement, every nuance of character. You hear laughter from the audience in the darkness and you play it, pause for it, milk it if necessary. It is new to you and you cannot know when to expect it Audiences, for some reason unknown to all actors, laugh in different places on different evenings. One night the whole audience goes wild for one line and not the other. The next night, · it's the , other line and not the first. You can't stand there like you were expecting it. Playing the audience is where the real talent of the actor comes through. Which brings me to my point. Actor Rob Johansen is a joy to behold. His timing is flawless, his responses are correct and his uncanny ability to know, even as it is happening, how he looks and what he is getting out of his audience. I have watched him work before and it is always with a sense of marvel. Add to that that he is probably one of the nicest peop- Cilassiifiedls Matt-Chew, I'd give you the shirt off my back, but you can't have my leather jacket. Happy Birthday! Love, DSJ le in the world and you've got quite a package. For all of us who had a chance to work with him on Dream, Girl, it was an experience of being in the presence of great talent. Maureen O'Hara did what, to me, seemed the impossible. She appeared in every scene, had over a hundred pages of dialogue round of applause for designing and building those wonderful sets. At first he worked alone as none of us seemed to be willing to take the time to give him a hand. We were all so busy with our own thoughts, memorizing lines, hurrying home to get our papers done in time, etc. But finally in the last week and a half to memorize, costume changes, mood changes, dream sequences. She is a trouper of the first order, a budding actress with enormous charm, and once again one of the nicest people in the world. True talent seems to need no ego trip. It is contained in some personal, internal well. Working with Rob and Maureen on this show was an experience none of us will soon forget. Dr. Martha LoMonaco did a splendid job in staging this play with precision and humor. It was always a source of pleasure for us to hear her marvelous big laugh somewhere out there in the darkness and to know we were making her happy. This was her first play at Wilkes, and I personally look forward to the future plays she will present. Karl Ruling deserves a big we all started pitching in, kids from his tech. class and others from Dr. LoMonaco's acting classes began to appear and give a hand so that we managed to get everything painted, hung, built, and dressed up just in the nick of time. Bob Wachowski did an excellent job as Stage Manager, running the whole show from his back stage position, the script with every light cue carefully written in the margins, calling each change, each cue, each roll of a platform and drop of a curtain on time. This is a very difficult job, and one that is unseen by an audience. Yet, it is the most necessary job of all if the play is going to run correctly. Bob, as usual, did a very professional job. The rest of us were fine. We did our job. We got our and had a ball. We strutted fretted our hour upon the some of us, like Wingert and Sara Tum their first time in a play. much as I whimpered and about never wanting to do er play (I'm too busy!)

Atum was the source of all gods and all living things; he was associated with -the setting sun. Shu and Tefnut were brother and sister, born from the god Re; Shu was the god of air, and Tefnut was the god of dew. They married and produced Geb and Nut, the god of earth and the goddess of the heavens respeclively. Re would not allow Geb and Nut to marry and ordered them to be separated, thus a separation of heaven from earth. They married in spite of this and produced several children, among them were Osiris, Isis, and Set, three of the most important deities in Egyptian mythology and the three main characters in the Osiris myth--one of the most important myths in all of mythology. The Osiris myth has many versions but the most common and most accepted is as follows: Osiris, now a pharaoh, marries Isis. Set (or Seth) becomes jealous of Osiris, kills him, chops up his body, puts it in a box, and sets it afloat down the Nile. Isis cannot accept her husband's . death and, along with her sister Nephthys, searches for him. They find him and restore his body to life. Osiris' death is avenged by his son, Horus, who looses an eye in his fight with Set. · Well, what do we have here? The forces of Osiris and Isis, symbolizing the forces of vegetation and fertility, have triumphed over the evil Set, · or the evilness of the hot, dry desert where the Nile does not flow, hence, no life. More imporantly Osiris has escaped and cheated death. He becomes the god of resurrection, or the god of the netherworld, and judge of the dead. Isis becomes the divine symbol of a loyal wife. Set be- comes the god of violence. The Egyptians believed that if Osiris can escape death, then so could they. This was one of their most important philosophies--that of immortality. It was one of the most important, common, and unifying forces of the Egyptian people. One other unifying force is the Sacred Eye--the eye of Horus-which will guide you on your road to rebirth. This symbol is analogous to the Christian cross-the one important symbol which, if analyzed and understood, will bring an understanding of the underlying concepts of the Egyp- tian religion, namely an understanding of the "ideal person." The ideal person was. made up of parts. If all the parts were there, then he was complete, or ideal. 11le Sacred Eye was complete. And the only thing that was complete, god or human, was the pharaoh, for the gods did not possess a human body, and the other humans did not possess divine powers. The people, by obeying the pharaoh, were obeying, satisfying, and approaching the ideal. That was their part to play on earth; it was understood. The Egyptians were also concerned with transformation or change. The change was from human to god, which would take place in the tombs, or pyramids. Another change was from god to man, which would take place in the temples. Before the tombs and temples, these universal truths were exemplified in the form of ritual, symbol, names, and/or images. There was a reshaping of Egyptian mythology, or a unification or synthesizing of the many gods and goddesses of the many territories.

If you haven't already guessed, 111 let you in on something: Lora is Patty's daughter. "I still remember Patty playing basketball," said Saracino. "She was very active, a real aggressive player. I can visualize her playing." Coach Saracino said it was a lot different back then concerning women's athletics. "The kids just went out there and played their hearts out," she said.

Photo by Bruce Alexis Beacon Sports Writer Three years ago, Bart Bellairs sat in his car in the University of Maryland parking lot. It was 6 a.m. and he had just driven all night in hopes of fulfilling a dream. Bellairs, who was then the men's basketball coach at Wilkes College, had heard of an opening on the Maryland coaching staff. "I've always been a confident person," says Bellairs, although he says it modestly. "Growing up in Kentucky, it was always a dream pf mine to coach either there or with Lefty Driesell." Why Lefty? "I like to think of myself as a fired up person," Bellairs says, "and Coach Driesell is a fired up person. You know, I would see him walking up and down the sidelines on a game on telev1s1on. And his teams win a lot. He just caught your eye." Bellairs' in particular. A 32-year-old Knoxville native, Bellairs first met Driesell while working at Lefty's summer camp.

When did Unsworth know it would of defensive pressure on him, and he missed some reads. "A quarterback is dependent on so many things: the offensive line, his receivers, field position. Sometimes all of those things weren't there for Sean this year." Meagley's stature (6'0") may have contributed to his interception total, as many were the results of tipped throws at the line of scrimmage. Meagley's main target was Craig Stevens, a junior wide receiver , who made 42 grabs for 696 yards and 5 touchdowns. Stevens emerged as the Colonels' only real deep threat and set the Wilkes single-game receiving yardage record of 230 on eight receptions in a 52-35 loss to Susquehanna. llxJut the big plays? "Craig had a real good year," said Unsworth. "He came you play a lot of young kids, you're going to into his own. We just didn't get the ball to him as much as plays," he said. "They're going to play well for we should have. What he has to work on to improve is plays, then they're going to make mistakes. It's catching the ball and bettering his speed." aperience."

The offensive line, which returned six of its top guns from a highly successful 1987 unit, performed poorly all season. Why? "One of the reasons may have been that they weren't pushed by competition in practice," said Unsworth. "A few guys who might have provided some challenges didn't come out for the team because of injuries or academics. "I think Jim Byrne (a senior guard) had a real good year, but sometimes he tries to do things for other people. "We couldn't really throw any freshmen into the fire because the offensive line is an area that requires maturity. If you look around the country, you won't.see many freshmen starting on the offensive line." The special teams delivered on a regular basis, with freshman kicker Mike Dungen tying the Wilkes single-season record of six field goals (in 12 attempts) and punter Phil Voss, a freshman, booting 58 times for a 33.9 yard average. Their efforts elicited praise from Unsworth. "Mike's an excellent kicker," he said. "He's one of the hardest working kickers I've ever been around. What he has to do is hit the weights and become physically stronger. "Phil kicked better as the season progressed. Sometimes he's too worried about the rush instead of getting the punt off. He made some freshman mistakes, but the experience he got should cure that." Farrell set a Wilkes single-season record for kickoff return yardage with 486 on 27 tries. Freshman Jim Rittinger saw extensive playing time at comerback and as a punt returner. He returned a kick for a 60-yard touchdown against Juniata, a flash of the brilliance that has Unsworth lauding his accomplishments. "There was a great debate among the coaches about whether to play him as a receiver or as a comerback," he said. "We decided to play him on defense because that's where he would see action quicker. Jim can be as good as he wants to be." Are there any other young players Unsworth is counting on for next season? "George Ignaszak, Aubin Sevrin, Phil Condron, Tony Giardina and Darin Heilman all played well," he said. "We have many young guys who are going to be great players. "I think the JV games really prepared some guys for varsity action. There's no way a high school player can understand what playing Division Ill college football is like. "The MAC is a tough league. Six teams on our schedule were ranked in the top twenty, and three made the Division Ill playoffs, two (Widener and Moravian) from our conference. We definitely didn't play a soft schedule." Ah, the firing line. . .could the coaches have done anything differently? "We wouldn't have changed anything 'X and O' wise," said Unsworth. "The problem was lack of execution by the players. Our staff will sit down in the offseason and discuss whether or not we could've done anything differently on the mental or motivational level." Did Unsworth realistically expect a losing season of a 2-8 magnitude? "We tho~ght it might be tough," he said, "but we didn't think it would be that bad." What are his unclouded expectations for 1989? "I forsee a good year. I want the guys to put the work in over the offseason. Our new weight program is great, and we'll finally have a facility (the Marts Center) in which to enact it "Most of all, I want our guys to come back hungry."

Yet, that was what the Wilkes Colonels did for one quarter of football in last Saturday's 47-14 loss to Lycoming at Ralston Field. The Colonels (2-8, 1-7 in the MAC) played a talented Warrior squad to a 14-14 first quarter standstill, matching each exciting play stride for stride. Then the roof caved in as the sta.:k reality of the Colonels' losing season--and the reasons for it--were extremely evident. Simply put, Wilkes was physically outmanned. "Most of the teams we've played this year have had bigger, stronger kids," said head coach Bill Unsworth. The first quarter was a firestorm, with each offense trading a couple of touchdown passes. Lycoming took a 7-0 lead on a 45-yard pass from quarterback Ed Dougherty to wide receiver Vic Olear. Eric Weishans added the extra point. The three-play, 43-yard drive was set up by a Don Kinney interception of Wilkes' Pat Brennan, who was throwing out of a wide receiver's slot. The Colonels quickly returned the favor when quar- Colonel of the Week terback Sean Meagley (14-33, 184 yards, two touchdowns) fired a pass to Craig Stevens (8 catches, 131 yards, one touchdown), who broke two tackIes and raced to the endzone for a 45-yard score. Mike Dungen's PAT tied the score at 7-7. Dougherty and Olear hooked up again with 5:11 left in the quarter from 25 yards out. Welshans' kick made it 14-7. Meagley countered with a perfectly placed 24-yard scoring toss to wingback PJ. Sollazzo. The touchdown capped a threeplay, 61-yard drive. Dungen added the conversion to knot the score at 14-14. The Colonels displayed a great degree of emotion, especially on defense. Unsworth, who's not a proponent of the "psyche factor," was pleased. "We played with a lot of enthusiasm," he said. "We played like we did the past two seasons. "Lycoming is a big rival of ours. The young kids found out what it's about today." Alas, emotion couldn't carry · the Colonels, as the Warriors scored twice in the second quarter and began to dominate line play. Running back Mike Koprowski finished an eightplay, 73-yard march with a twoyard touchdown run. Welshans' kick put the score at 21-14, Lycoming. The other score came on a 14-yard jaunt by wide receiver Mike Holliman. Welshans shanked the extra point, but the five-play, 59-yard left the halftime total at 27-14, Lycoming. The Warriors dominated the second half, scoring three touchdowns. Defensive lineman Don Kinney recovered a Meagley fumble in the end zone, and Welshans' PAT increased the lead to 34-14. The "touchdown connection" struck again as Dougherty hit Olear for the third time, this time from 49 yards out with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter. Welshans added his fifth extra point, and the Warriors led, 4114. Lycoming's final tally came on a 70-yard run by running back Troy Erdman (15 carries, ( -to-be-COi Center. 1 heduled I 1988at 11 a. mark the fi Wilkes wide receiver Craig Stevens (1) battles for a 116 yards, one touchdown).

In the popular vote, Bush won by a percentage of 54 to 46. At a rally in Houston, Tuesday night, Bush voiced a pledge to progress. "We will move again," he said. " ... for an America that is strong and resolute in the world , strong and bighearted at home. "And when I said I wanted a kinder and gentler nation, I meant it and I mean it." Bush, who pledged to work with a newly strengthened Democratic Congress, appealed for the approval of all Americans.

"To Lhose who supported me, I'll try to be worthy of your trust," he said. "To those who didn't, I will try to earn it ... My hand is out to you. I want to be your president, too." In his concession speech in Boston, Dukakis called for unity. "This nation faces major challenges and we must work together," he said. "He [Bush] will be our president, and we'll work with him ." This was met with a chorus of "ninety-two, ninety-two!" referring to a possible run for the money in the 1992 election. Bush won the key states of Texas and California, states which Dukakis had hoped to ~laim in his upset bid. Bush won 40 states, compared to Dukakis' 10 and the District of Columbia. In Pennsylvania, Bush won by the slim margin of 51 to 49 percent. Dukakis had owned a 17 point lead in the polls after the Democratic National Convention, but Bush's campaign strategy of painting Dukakis as a liberal who is soft on crime paid off in what was one of the dirtiet presidential campaigns in history. _ Bush's choice of Dan Quayle didn't hurt his chances as greatly as had been anticipated, as most voters expressing dislike of Quayle as a voting qualification in exit polls were Democrats. Dukakis ' choice of Lloyd Bentsen wasn't enough to carry Texas for his ticket.

The almost year and a half long onslaught of politics and politicians is over and, for better or for worse, · we have a new president. In January, we will inaugurate Vice President George Bush as the 41st President of the United States. We started out with a wealth of candidates--all of whom, if combined, would make one great president. On the Republican side we started with Vice President George Bush, Senator Robert Dole, Governor Pierre "Pete" DuPont, General Alexander Haig, Congressman Jack Kemp, and Rev. Pat Robertson, while on the Democrat side we had Senator Joe Biden, Governor Bruce Babbit, Governor Michael Dukakis, Congressman Dick Gephardt, Senator Albert Gore, Senator Gary Hart, Rev. Jesse Jackson, and Senator Paul Simon. After a year of jockeying for position, the real candidates stepped forward: Dukakis and Jackson for the Democrats and Bush all alone for the Republicans. At the conventions we chose our candidates and they chose their running mates; Dukakis chose Lloyd Bentsen and Bush chose Dan Quayle. That's when the race began. This could possibly go down as one of the dirtiest mud-slinging campaigns in history. Everyone had bad things to say about everyone else; it's a wonder we elected anyone at all. The real question is, did you, Wilkes College Student, get out and excercise your right to vote? There are people out there who say that college kids don't care about the future of their country. Did you prove them wrong? I hope so, for the sake of our country. I hope you voted for the best candidate, not for · the guy who sounds best or, as I've heard so often, "for the guy who's gonna win." Elections are about issues, not appearances. If you voted and feel good about your decision, good for you! The election is history now, but we must live with our decision. ************************ Thumbs up: Go to Circle K for the hard work and effort that we~t in.to their 6th consecutive Haunted House (they've been domg 1t for over twenty years).

Yes, folks, it was none other than George Bush. I tread through the wet, piercing blades of grass towards George, the sweat pouring down his brow as he viciously directed the mower. Upon spotting me, he shifted into high and drove towards the home. He waved furiously to the man on the porch, who wore a shaky straw hat and denim overalls rolled up at the legs. He was a blonde, Redford-Kennedy type, despite what Lloyd had said in a heated debate some weeks earlier. It was Dan Quayle, Republican. Dan rose and braced himself against the porch railing, frantically waving his arm and screaming to George. Once the riding mower was pulled within reach of Dan, he tagged George, who rolled off the spinning mower, ran into the house and was immediately replaced by Dan in the drivers seat. I marveled over how successfully the two new public officials had handled such a common pastime as tag team lawn mowing. When George entered the house, he looked like he would not hesitate to shove a sizzling fireplace poker through the pursed lips of anyone remarking on the popular "wimp factor." When he came through the doors and sat beside me on the porch; he beamed with charisma and charm. He had entered the world famous, yet widely unknown Personality Room. This change allowed the man to talk to me about Wilkes issues, something burdening my mind for some time now. Within minutes, I had him agreeing to sending the Marines into Pittston. He also took my servant and See View page 8 (CPS) - The final figures are not in, but most evidence suggests there are more students going to colleges nationwide this fall than last year. "We expect enrollment to be higher this fall," said Elaine El-Khawas of the American Council on Education (ACE) in Washington, D.C . "Everybody I've spoken to refers to the fact that applications were up," said Bob Aaron of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. "That would lead me to believe that enrollments are up, but my' guess is based on anecdotes, not actual enrollment figures." The anecdotes typically concern jammed classrooms, packed dorms and not enough teachers around to lead courses. In mid-October, for instance, Stephens College in Missouri announced it had too many students wanting to take and too few professors able to teach a basic English course next semester, and thus would have to tum away half the students signing up for the class. At the University of Arizona, Assistant Fine Arts Dean Lynne Tronsdal fretted UA's 4 percent enrollment increase would threaten the school's ability "to serve these students in a way that they have a right to." The University of Texas's College of Liberal Arts is six-to-eight months behind in doing degree checks for applicants, officials conceded last week. ' No one will really know what nationwide enrollment figures are until at least "December or January," when the U.S, Dept. of Education plans to release its official head count, department analyst Norman Brandt said. In its annual back-to-school projections last August, the department predicted some 12,560,000 students would enroll leges, explained.

"Now the average age of college students is 24, 25 years old," said Grosso, "There's a lot more adults going to school." "There's a sustained and strong interest in college, and it's not just among 18-to 24-year-olds," Aaron concurred, "The economy is shaky," added El-Khawas. "People feel they need all the education they can get People are going back to school to get master's degrees and become specialists. They're responding to the economy. They're preparing themselves for the job market." "More and more women are fmding themselves as the heads of their households, and they want the necessary skills to support their families," Grosso added. But many observers still believe enrollments will shrink eventually. College enrollments will hit a high of 12,585,000 in 1990, the Education Department's Brandt predicted, but will drop to 12,408,000by 1992as thepoolof18to-24-year-olds shrinks. "There's a dip coming further down the road," said Grosso. "The number of 18-year-olds will decrease. That's a fact." �PAGE FOUR November 10, 1988 Campus compact introduced to Wilk One of the main reports in last with this area's chapter representaweek's S.G. meeting on Wednesday, · tive, Ms. Morgan who will be visitNovember 2, was the scheduled ing Wilkes on the 11th.

Supey also said that approximately 50 people were eligible for W.I.N. points, adding, "I really do think that was a help." Supey said that she tremendously appreciates the turnout The drive was sponsored by the Student Health Advisory Committee (SHAC).

It will also cover the system's . applications, including obstetric applications and "uniformly focused, high-resolution cardiac images."

Scandals came to life. Crises rose and fell. Things happened. 'News was made. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Does it really matter who is president? I think .not. Whether a Democrat or Republican sits in the Oval Office, lawns still get mowed, even George Bush's. Life goes on. Are people any happier because we support the Contras? Are they any happier because our conventional weapons are growing in number? A president can build a strong economy and solid government, but happiness liesnotinmoneyorpolicy. It'sabout relating to yourself and others. Even the Personality Room can't handle that problem. A "Rowdy" They Live John Carpenter must have literally wrestled with the script of his new suspense film, They Live. "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, of Wrestlemania fame, does a suplex into . the starring role of the film, and he actually pins down some credible acting. However, the film tumbles on the mat at times due to lapses in what would otherwise be a promising script. Piper stars as part of the working ' class in They Live. He gets hired at a constuction site and makes his home there with others in makeshift shacks. The free time tbe people ·e at this site is spent watching TV outside their humble abodes. One day their soaps are interrupted by an annoying transmission. This broadcast warns people to beware of the upper class, saying that they are not themselves. Piper shirks at the notion at first. However, he stumbles on the source of the transmission in a church directly across from the construction site. He also obtains a box containing a huge number of sunglasses. Only their purpose is not to deflect the sun's rays. These glasses envision a lot more. They let "Rowdy" see through all the fake people on earth. In other words, the aliens that inhabit the planet The premise for the script to They Live is a familiar one. It's been seen on the big screen and the small screen before. In the early 1980's alien lizards hid under human skin and attempted to take over the human race in the television mini-series "V ." In the late 70 s earth was slowly engulfed on film by an alien race in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Once Piper has discovered the alien race he proceeds to go on a rampage, blowing away a plethora of the invaders. It is obvious that Piper's character was probably devised to fit Kurt Russell's acting. Russell starred as this macho-type in three of John Carpenter's previous films, including Escape From New· York, Big Trouble China, and The Thing. in the film. The scene lasts for about seven minutes and is incredibly pointless. It appeared as if Carpenter wanted to kill some time, or put "Rowdy" Roddy on a spotlighted wrestling platform. Once again Carpenter creates his own music and adapts it to They Live. However, it is thoroughly repetitious as it pounds at the same beat through the whole film.

They reveal insights to us about human nature--they provide us with ideas about the moral, social, psychological, theological, and scientific beliefs and customs of past cultures. These stories teach us, guide us, and provide us with answers to questions about the human identity--namely "who am I?", or more specifically "where do I come from?", "where am . I bound?" and "what must I do now to get from here to there?" Myth answers these queslions on a literal level. Myhopoesis answers them on a symbolic level, in the form a story. Why symbolically? Because the literal account could no longer be accepted by society as a result of some change, crisis, or loss of faith. The three questions are addressed and dealt with in the be an external desent into the symbolic divisions of Creation, darkness of Hell (Hercules, Mercury, Odysseus), or an interDestiny, and the Quest Mythopoeic literature is nal desent into the darkness of very unified and structured. Each piece of literature is a new creation, but it is based on some type of tradition or historical perspective. The work usually can be divided into four parts, or Acts, with each Act representing a major change in the life of the Hero or the society or both.

The order is upset and the some type of transformation, reQuest begins. The journey might birth, or reintegration, which is Jack Coen: by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor I guess the Programming Board has learned their lesson. Never plan a comedian for the first weekend of November. This decision dates back to November of 1986 to what has been called by some, ''The Rondell Sheridan Affair," or the comedian who didn't come to dinner. Despite being contracted, Sheridan, the planned Board entertainment for that weekend, never showed up to do his show. Last year at this time, the Board featured Kirk Edwards, a coffeehouse performer. dependent upon the degree to which the hero questions his own deviation. He must question his own authority, integrity, and individuality, not in hopes of finding an answer, but in hopes of realizing a potential or an inner quality. His altruism must outshine his egoism--he must work for the people. This sacrifice will sanctify him in due time and place, just as it did Oedipus at Colonus, Don Quixote at La Mancha, and Hamlet in Horatio's final prayer. In Act Four, or the Epilogue, we see a fulfillment of the Quest and a tempering of the hero's conflict. The hero cannot return to his original state of bliss as a result of his flaw. He is removed from it · but at the same time has a better understanding of himself and his purpose and is rewarded for this: better late than This year, the Board had its new impending holiday season with lesson taught to them.

There are parties and then again there are Parties! This last • week the entire cast of Dream Girl had a party to end all parties. It was hard work but we did it all for you, gentle reader. I'm telling you, by the time we'd finished the onion dip, libidos were literally bouncing off the walls. Dream Girl, for those of you who don't know, is the 40's play that will preview tonight at the Center for the Performing Arts and run through this weekend. The theme of the party was the Forties, and we were all invited to dance to the Big Band sounds of Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. We even dressed the part. The reason? To get us better prepared to entertain you with this play that all takes place in the middle of the Forties, complete with · shoulder pads, seamed stockings, a small hand gun puJled from a purse and the gentle rhythms of Begin the Beguine. Dr. Martha ("Party Marty") LoMonoco, director of the show, decided we all needed to get more in character than we were. The girls even had dance cards! We foxtrotted for Pete's sake, and some of us, by the end of the evening, were even getting good at it. This weekend the Dorothy Dickson Dane Center will be transformed to the golden days of yesteryear when women wore tight-fitted body corsets and men had shoulder pads in their suit jackets.

Overall, it was a successful season for the Colonels. They broke a 22 game losing streak, winning for the first time in three years. They also accomplished their goal of beating King's in the MAC Championships to go along with their two regular season victories. "It was a good season for the team," said McGuire. "Everyone improved and the freshmen gained valuable experience on the college level. Hopefully with a few new recruits we can strengthen the program and have a tough team next year."

Despite missing the last three games because of the injury, she was second on the team in rebounding with 6.7. Kest added, " she always seemed to be around the ball." Other key returning players for the Lady Colonels are _sophomores Angie Miller, Kelly Ruff, Michelle Toth, and junior Lisa Burak. Miller led the team in scoring last year and was sixth in the country in Division III for three point shots. Miller's return this year will definitely be a plus for Wilkes. "Kelly (Ruff) is one of the best rebounders from last year's team," said Kest. "She gives 100% on the floor. She learned a lot from last year." Kest characterized Ruff as a very physical player and an asset to the team. "Michelle (Toth) got a lot of playing time last year. She is a very aggressive player, a good nose to nose defensive player," Kest stated. Kest rates Burak as one of the best centers with respect to outside shooting. "Lisa (Burak) is one of the best six-foot centers that can shoot the ball outside accurately. Sometimes she lacks confidence. Once she believes . she can play at a college level she will definitly be a force to be reckoned with," Kest stated. "We will have to beat teams with our running game, pressure defense, and our spirit," Kest_ said. Kest will be looking to Susan Chamecki and Denise Carson for the ball handling responsibilities. "Susan is one of the quickest guards to come out of the Wyoming Valley Conference. Carson· will find playing time as either the point or shooting guard. "Denise, plays very aggressive defense and is a good floor general,!' said Kest Louise Cicerchia is a very consistent three point shooter. "She is very good passer that loves to play the game of basketball," said Kest. Deb Erder is another freshman that will probably make a quick contribution to the Lady Colonels' effort this season. "Deb (Erdner) is probably one of the real pleasant ·surprises this season," Kest stated. "She is a very physical inside player. Deb will make a good contribution on the inside game which we sometimes lacked in the past" Another player at the center position is Krista Zoka. "Krista, at six-feet-two-inches, is the only true center on the team. She needs to develop her fundamental skills. The key is that she wants to learn the game of basketball," Kest stated. Kest feels that Zoka could be one of the best centers in the league in the future. Womens basketball co-captains, sophomore Nicole Kovaleski and The Lady Colonels have a senior Melissa Kennedy.

The Wilkes hooters began the year with many questions to be answered. The team was young with it only five upperclassmen returning: Sean Lockhead, Joe Lannon, John Meyers, Chris Nebel (captain), and Andy Renner. All played well and all, except Lockhead, will return next season. T.R. Andrake, Chris Dahm, Steve Moloney and Dom Tinari were among the key freshman contributors. The experience they gained will be a valuable asset next year. Doug Albertson, Tom Horbacz, Dave Oba!, Mike Lenczycki, and Chris Shenefield were the sophomore returnees. Their freshmen playing time paid off in good performances this year, despite the few weeks Shenefield missed due to a cut on his foot. John Meyers, a junior, missed the end of the season with a calf muscle injury, and Sean Lockhead missed time with a recurring thigh problem. The Colonels started slowly, losing two of the first three matches. The season took an upswing with winning streak. a five-game A road trip to Virginia produced two tight losses to Virginia Tech and RandolphMacon. Seven of the nine Colonel losses were to ranked opponents. Coach Phil Wingert's winning record of six consecutive years was snapped. But he is not concerned. "We got a lot of experience," he said, "and we should be strong next year." "We played an - extremely tough schedule, and I'm sure that facing that kind of competition will benefit us next season and in years to come.

Unfortunately for head coach Bill Unsworth, Wilkes' football season has not. The Colonels (2-7, 1-6 in the MAC) were defeated 51-12 by Juniata last Saturday at Ralston Field. A sparse, rain-soaked crowd of 150 watched the Colonels lose their fourth in a row. The Colonels' defense has yielded a record 337 points through nine games, quarterback Sean Meagley has thrown 22 interceptions, and an extremely talented Lycoming looms next week. This is getting ugly, folks. What's wrong'2 "When you have seniors and experienced players who have played well in the past, you expect them to stay at the same level," said Unsworth. "That hasn't happened. We feared that this season might be tough, but we didn't think it would be this bad." The Colonels took a brief lead against the Indians when Jim Rittinger returned a punt 60 yards for a touchdown, breaking many tackles along the way. The Indians had taken a 3-0 · lead on a 28-yard field goal by John O'Neil. The 11-play, 44yard drive was set up by a Meagley interception. Juniata quarterback Cubby Davis (19-28, 276 yards) tied his own school record of five touchdown passes, as the Indian offense had its way throughout the contest. He hit Mike Cottle with a nine-yard· scoring pass with 2:44 left in the first quarter for a 10-6 lead. Running back Dennis Derenzo (17 carries, 124 yards) ran 46 yards on the last play of ~ the first quarter, and caught a 69- ' yard scoring strike in the second . to give the Indians a 23-6 advantage. On the touchdown reception, DeRenzo was hit three times by Colonel defenders, but they couldn't bring him down. It was a play representative of the defense's season-long penchant for surrendering long gainers. "It's frustrating to see a play like that," said Unsworth. "We spend a lot of time in practice on tackling.

Prior to the lecture, an informal discussion of women's issues with Dr. Tong was held in the Annette Evans Alumni House. The discussion, which was open to anyone interested but geared to a female audience, presented an open forum for topics that those attending wanted to discuss. Tong, whose lecture was titled "Reproductive Ethics and Women's Issues," spoke about the social and legal implications of contracted motherhood, known more commonly as surrogate motherhood. She concentrated her discussion on partial surrogacy, when a woman is artificially inseminated and carries a baby for a couple that pays her to do so. It "has become a real legal issue," she said. See Tong page 5 Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States and currently a Distinguished Professor at Emory [GA] University, conducted a student press conference at the Associated College Press/College Media Advisers in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday, October 27. Carter's opening remarks focused on the role of college newspapers. "It's significant that you have a convention of this intensity of interest and this large a crowd," he said. "Journalism, in all its aspects, is a very high and important profession." Carter also spoke of the change he has seen in the professionalism of collegiate journalism over the years. "There's been a coming of age in the quality and incisiveness of the publications on college campuses," he said. "The papers have become innovative, valuable sources of information for the entire society. "College papers have had a measured impact on the world's consciousness." A native Georgian, Carter, 69; welcomed the delegation to Atlanta and voiced his hopes for the future of college newspapers. "College publications have demanded a high element of freedom," he said, "but at the same time, I know there is and will be an intense committment to be responsible, set standards of precise investigation and accurate reporting, and maintain high moral and ethical standards." Before Carter fielded students' questions, he quipped that they would be better than those asked by the White House press corps. Most of the inquiries dealt with the upcoming presidential election. Carter revealed his disgust with the negative nature of the race to this point. "Of all the political campaigns I've witnessed in my adultlife,thisone has reached the lowest standard of accuracy, substance and moral and ethical content," he said.

Unfortunately, the writer was more intent on hurting me than he was on examining the issues I raised. In addition he displayed such a poor command of English that it was difficult to take him seriously. The second response came from Norma Schulman-which was surprising since she was on leave when officials at Wilkes College permitted it to do so in such a crass and vulgar manner is dismaying.

These in part, are in effect because of the 1988 AC (Associated Collegiate Press/College Media A convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Four-members of The Beacon 's staff--Lisa Millet editor; James Clark, assistant sports editor; Tom business manager; and I (Lee Morrell)--spent last Atlanta learning from professionals, collegiate advi other collegiate journalists. The program, which 1 days, contained 200 separate seminars that covered s as press law, censorship, teaching others how to · many different design topics. We had the opportunity to put our paper next to the best in the country and let the professionals tell us stack up. The results were quite pleasing. Alth adviser who conducted the critique saw a lot of things improve on, she was impressed by our number of proportion to the size of the College. We were told, for ourselves, that many schools larger than we don't paper this large. The experience wasn't limited to sitting in se · hours. Being in the same hotel with the other 1400 journalists gave us an opportunity to swap "war stori people who understand our problems.

Surplus tax dollars well spent, folks. After having been offered the complimentary mango-scented wheat crackers and imported pork rinds, we found out what these two characters were here for. It seems that, as Mike was visiting the spacious laboratories of Wilkes College, his eyebrows were singed by a bunsen burner, and he was waiting for them to heal before appearing in public again. Lloyd quickly changed the subject and complimented me on the beige duck suit I had slipped on earlier. Just as Lloyd began discussing his dedication to the Gay American Indian Bureaus throughout this great ~and of ours, a dwarflike man appeared in the doorway. His shape was greatly distorted, for he wore the costume of 6 giant piece of pita bread.

Mike rested on the corduroy couch beside us, and once again I heard comments about my famous beige duck suit. He quickly turned from subject to subject, from defense to farm animal molesting to abortion to granola trail mix and back to that beige duck suit of mine. As Lloyd was busy on the mechanical bull, Mike repeatedly offered, in a pleading tone, to allow us to ride with him in a tank on a television commerical. Though a picture of a beige duck, saucy French maid and an eyebrowless, muppetlike person all perched on a tank probably would not hurt his campaign, I thought it best he find someone else for the job. Nevertheless, I was impressed by' this statuesque father figure. Little did I know that while we cof!versed with the overage Lloyd, Mike had been occupied upstairs in the world famous, yet widely unknown Personality Room. It was in this room that countless robed men and women went to work quickly and dedicatedly on the Democrat. With an assortment of power tools and electric probes, they assembled the man from a simple kit. Insert sense of humor in top left comer of brain. Fit in charisma down under the frontal lobe.

Nov. 0. tffl The Student Activities Center has been considering the idea of putting a non-alcoholic pub in the basement of Conyngham Student Center. There have been suggestions to have an alcoholic pub, but through research we have found that this is not feasible due to the liability, costs, and the lack of a college liquor license. Also, an alcoholic pub does not guarantee that alcohol consumption will stay on the Wilkes College campus. For example, commuters will have to drive home, and residents who drink at the pub and "card" everyone. Obviously the pub would only benefit students over twenty-one. This defeats the pub's purpose, which is to provide a non-exclusive student activity. There are positive aspects of a non-alcoholic pub. The pub will bring more activity into the Student Center and could provide more on-campus jobs for students. The SUB is considering the idea of having non-alcoholic beverages (virgin drinks and non-alcoholic beer), food (pizza, burgers, fries, nachos, etc.), and entertainment (DJ's, bands, comedians). The basement does have the necessary facilities for a non-alcoholic pub; however, before any research is continued, the Student Activities would like your opinion.

Election Day Novembers Get out and vote! �November 3, 1988 news Intersession classes offered by Susan Borthwick Beacon Assistant News Editor The 1989 Intersession for semester break is ready for its students. Under the direction of John Meyers, associate dean of academic affairs, the program is being held for the first time since 1976, which was a "modest success at best" Since 1976, the students have been asking if it will be done, partially because of students who plan to study abroad. Also, requests came in for courses that are "not the riorma1 bill of fare." The faculty involvement comes from the desire to satisfy the interests of students.

How has this affected the public's viewpoint of the election? "I think the people, although alienated by these tactics, still absorb them and form their opinions of the candidates accordingly," Carter said. Despite his misgivings about the strategies of the candidates, Carter was not hesitant to endorse Michael Dukak:s. "W!m1 I was president," he said, "I was liberal on such issues as human and civil rights and the environment, but a conservative about the fiscal budget and a strong defense.

A student referred to the presidential election process as "the longest job interview in the world" and asked if it was too long and costly and if the press' thorough coverage of candidates was unfair. "The process isn't excessive," said Carter. "Remember, it's voluntary. It gives the candidate a chance to learn about the country he wants to lead and gives the nation's people an opportunity to get to know the candidate. "I don't think the press should hold back. The character of a person who wants to be president should be open and known. "The minimum standards for a president should be competence, compassion and truthfulness." Carter explained his influence on a project titled American Agenda, which will be presented to the next president. "This is a package of issues that can't possibly avoided," he said. "I can't get into specifics, but they will have to be dealt with on a bipartisan basis, and it will take political courage to address them. "fFormerl Presi~ent Gerald Ford and 150 expert American leaders, most of whom served in previous presidential administrations, are working in conjunction with me on this." What is Carter's impression of the changing Soviet Union? "This is an exciting time," he said. "Mikhail Gorbachev is a Soviet leader unlike one we've ever seen before. There's some real, positive change going on there. For example, religious freedom is growing. - "My philosophy is to cooperate with the Soviets whenever possible, and compete with them whenever necessary." Carter, who said his goal since he was a young man was to become a college professor, founded the Carter Center at Emory University. • Wil1 The newest addition to the Wilkes campus is a Mac new machine is locate.cl between the SUB and the Alu Easy money lac lY.I.. ii lachz·ne n·ses on ca ii lY.l..1 i by Susan Borthwick Beacon Assistant News Editor by a board mem them.

On Ocober 26, Lisa Knabb, assistant student activities director, enlightened the members with her updates on the situation, including briefings of her phone interviews with colleges and universities that have pubs.

Intercollegiate Leadership Wilkes-Barre will involve five daylong sessions, with each one being held at a different campus. The sessions and their locations are as follows: Leadership and Leadership Development, at Penn State-Lehman Campus; Regulating Economic Development, at LCCC; Government and Politics, at King's College; Issues of Social Responsibility, at College Misericordia; and Quality of Life Issues, at Wilkes College.

Its many myths are most likely based upon the enhancing and refining of earlier Jewish and Greek myths and legends. These myths have had a significant influence on the creation and establishment of Western beliefs and customs. There are three major types of interpretations of Christian myth: historical, psychoanalytical, and existential. The historical (or history of religious interpretation) says that myths are sacred stories, or the breaking through of the supematural into the world in the form of a story. By reenacting the sacred story at a sacred time and participating in it through ritual (e.g. the Lord's supper on Holy Thursday) will enable the believer to understand his origins and his place in the world. The psychoanalytical interpretation views myth in symbolic terms. Carl Jung, a Swiss psychoanalyst, viewed myth as a depiction of the unconscious archetypes, or the innate tendencies to form symbolic images. These The Existential interpretalion views myth as a form of expression by which man understands himself. The imagery of myth is taken from this spacialtemporal world of cause and effect as opposed to the timeless.transcendent, spiritual world of God. The world of man is qualitatively different and contradictory to the world of God. Therefore, we should reinterpret Christian myths in terms of man's existence. · Christian myth seeks to reveal an insight or to describe a truth about the human condition. It does so in a metaphysical sense. It goes beyond the apprehension and comprehension of facts--its manner is substantiated by the senses (remember, there is not one shred of empirical evidence for the existence of God}. The imagination must be used in order to communicate properly these concepts. Christianity arose during the middle of the Hellenistic period and was greatly influenced by the contemporary Greek and Near Eastern cultures and, of course, mental forms help us understand the mythologies of those culthe human condition, both indi- tures. vidually and culturally.

These four ages parallel the four ages described in Iranian mythology as told by the prophet Zoroaster in the 7th century B.C. Both tell of a struggle in finite time between good and evil, a saviour, a Last Judgement, and a new world. The battle between Christ and the AntiChrist is also similiar to the struggle between Ormazd and Ahriman in Iranian mythology.

I turned over and looked at my clock; it glared an obnoxious ".6:04" (the dot signifying a.m.) at me. I spat a tirade of equally obnoxious four letter lyrics at this singing sleep killer. After a minute of internal debate, I arose feeling very strange. I couldn't explain the odd feeling that dominated my being. All I could remember was falling asleep while watching the Olympics on NBC. I was "proud as a peacock" at the way our volleyballers played against the Soviet Union. Anyway, I fell asleep watching TV and I awoke feeling goofy; with me so far? I rolled down the steps and attempted to make a nutritious breakfast. After pouring a glass of "Florida's finest" into my Smurf emblazoned "Dixie cup" and a trip to the cabinet to pick out a cereal that would suit my needs for that particular day (I chose to "go cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" because of the high caffeine level, hoping it would wake me up), I filled the bowl with something to "do my body good." Tha was followed with some "good to the last drop" java. At that point, I started to become dizzy. "It's nothing," I said. It felt kinda like deja vu. "It's nothing," I repeated After eating, I strolled up the stairs and into the bathroom and began to prepare myself for what seemed to be the longest day in creation. I stepped into the shower, grabbed my soap and proceeded to become "Zestfully clean." I also "built up the body of my hair" with my tube of green wonder hair cleaner. I stepped out of the shower and dried off, grabbed my "professionally designed, built to reach those back teeth" toothbrush and made my teeth "as white as they can be." I then dragged the "best disposable razor money can buy" across my "rich lather" covered face. After dabbing my face with a towel "made from 100% cotton," and making my armpits feel "confident and secure," I went back to my bedroom. I began to dress and, once again felt that dizzy feeling wave over my body. It subsided as I pulled on my "inspected by #12" underwear. I dressed completely and sat down to prepare my feet for a sneaker "revolution." I entrapped my feet in their "all horsehide" coffin and bounded down the steps. As I fumbled with my car keys, I gazed heavenward and noticed a silver bug streaking across the sky. I saluted those brave souls who were "flying the friendly skies" and continued with the business at hand. I put the key in the door of my "precision crafted German road machine" and sat down to "experience the feel of the open road." As I buzzed over the freeway, my mind began to drift. I was going back lo that dizzy feeling of earlier this morning. This time it came with a headache. "Damit," I said, "I haven't got time for the pain." So, I popped a few aspirins and continued on my way to work. I arrived al the office and pumped a few coins into the old soda machine so I could get a taste of "the real thing." I grabbed my soda, went into my office and began to pound away at my "user friendly, word powerful" computer/word processor. As I did this visions of dancing raisins and singing bran flakes and that annoying song about those fruit drinks--you know, the commercial with the marathon runner--permeated my thoughts. I blacked out at my desk for what must have been hours, because when I woke up it was dusk out. There was a note on my screen that said, "When you wake up, you're fired!" I gulped down two more aspirins, swished my soda around my mouth and swallowed that depressing swallow. At that time I decided that "the night belonged to Michelob;" and so did I. I left the office and rumbled down the side steps, unwilling to deal with the elevator that promises "they will always let me down." I found my "specifically tuned" road hog and aimed at the closest watering hole. I • opened the door and entered the smoke filled room. I inched my way through the wall to wall people and settled myself on a stool next to a very attractive woman. "What's the matter, Brown Eyes?" she queried. "I lost my job and 'my dishes have spots,"' I responded. "That's terrible!" "I know, but I bought some 'Cascade' yesterday. I hope it works," I answered. She just nodded. I think she noticed my "ring around the collar." "Gotta go, good luck with those spots," she said. I looked up at the bartender and said in my best Australian accent, "'Gimme a nip of the smooth refresher."' He said, "Haven't you has enough, buddy?" "No" I replied, "I just got here, anyway I have this "bad itching and flaking." '"Hey, step up to the mike,"' he said as he tossed an aerosol can at me. I decided I had had enough brooding for one night. Tomorrow is another day, I can find a new and better job. At that point I broke into a chorus of ("The sun will come out) Tomorrow" and collapsed on the bar. I have a low threshold for liquor. I awoke in a hospital bed wearing and seeing white. I buzzed the nurse who trotted into my room with her nauseating bedside manner. She said "Welcome to Jones Memorial Hospital, the best care anywhere." I thanked her and asked her to either tell me what was wrong with me or get me a doctor who could. As I yelled at her I Whitney Housion song.

Soon-to-be ''Dr.'' Wachter One of the great things about doing interviews with new teachers, is that you get to see how really enthusiastic about working with the students they are. One perfect example of this enthusiasm is Lowse Wachter, the new education professor at Wilkes College. Bloomsburg University and Penn State University. · Wachter teaches future teachers strategies for instructing, primarily reading. Her theory is that we "need to teach students stategies to become better readers." Student teachers are taught how to communicate these strategies to their students. At Wilkes, she has become involved with the Education club, functioning as one of their The soon-to-be "Dr." Wachter is "all for the students." And is extremely excited to see students going out and getting involved in various things. Wachter received her Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education, at Kutztown State College which then became Kutztown University. Since then, she received a Master of Education from Kutztown UniverShe has, however, sity in Elementary Counseling sponsors. made certain that the students are and Guidance, and a Master of .

Prior to coming to Wilkes, Wachter taught classes in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades as well as classes at two other colleges, fessional wrestling; travel (she has been to Europe, Hawaii, California, Las Vegas, and all across the Eastern Seaboard); craftwork (she likes knitting and such}; cooking; and teaching. She says, "... teaching is fun for me .. .I am both energetic and enthusiastic about teaching .. .it is a career and a hobby for me." Community service also plays a big part in Wachter's life. She works as a consultant for the State Department of Education, traveling across the state evaluating the reading programs in various schools, and working at teacher in-service days. Wachter is also involved with the Keystone State Reading Association and is the president elect of the 2nd Reading Council. Over all, it must be said that Dr. Louise Wachter is a valuable asset to the Wilkes Education Department. Her enthusiasm and her background in teaching will aid in the training of our future teachers. She is "very happy to "be selected to be at Wilkes ....and enjoys the people with whom she is working."

' Photo by Donna YedlOCk �November 3, 1988 PAGE1WELVE Folk music: has it found a home? At the end of the 1950 s, it seemed apparent that rock music was on the decline. Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper all died together on the same tour. Jerry Lee Lewis fell into moral trouble by marrying his second cousin. Elvis sold himself to Hollywood, and Little Richard became a preacher. Their music . was being replaced with "stale" artists like Fabian and Bobby Rydell. The more perceptive listeners saw what was happening to rock. Therefore, this was a perfect time for folk music to enter the mainstream. People caught on to folk because it dealt with reality. Songs weren't written about having a good time, but rather about the social injustices to minority groups or international problems like pollution. Musicians like Bob Dylan, who ironically started out in rock, wrote "Hollis Brown," the most important folk song in the earl sixties. Joan Baez made her- self popular by singing traditional Irish and English ballads. Almost . overnight, coffee houses brightened every major college and U.S. city. This provided an opportunity for amateur singers and groups to expose their talent to small audiences. Unfortunately, like most things in pop music, the folk movement was a fad. Its demise was a result of the British invasion and boredom. People were tired of hearing the depressed sounds of an acoustic guitar and musicians felt shackled by folk conservatism. The best example of this was, again, Bob Dylan. Dylan left folk with "Bring It All Back Home/ an album released in 1965. The record angered traditionalists, but . keeping up with ttends was more important. Now, twenty-three years after that historic moment, folk music is on the rise again. The eighties' movement probably started with Suzanne Vega. "Luka," Vega's most popular song, was about the horrors of child abuse. More recently, Tracy Chapman has made a stronger impression with "Fast Car," a tune about her personal feelings on urban city life. Other artists making- impressions include Michele Shocked and the Washington Squares. So is the folk revival just another fad? Perhaps. Most of the social conscience could be a reaction to eight years of Reaganomics or a majority of youth who are interested in music about personal issues. Then again, maybe folk has finally set itself comfortably in the mainstream.

We only had one person who even ventured a guess, and he missed the first question and didn't even guess on the second. What is this world coming to? Have we lost touch with our trivia roots? I don't want to go over your heads and call in an expert. I can do that, you know. Enough with the threats; on to the news of the week. In college football, the inevitable happened. UCLA made a monumenlal boo-boo and Notre Dame slipped into a much deserved and long overdue number one ranking. The Bruins blew it against Washington St. and dropped down to number six. The Mountaineers on West Virginia beat the Penn State team for only the fifth time in that rivalry's history. Look for a West Virginia vs. Notre Dame match up in the Fiesta Bowl for the National Championship. In professional football, the Colts made believers out of everyone with a convincing victory over the former champion, Denver Broncos. Steve Young showed the likes of Tarkenton and Staubach how to scramble with an all-pro run to seal 49er victory. In hockey, the New York Rangers may not be on top of the world, but they are, finally, on top of the Patrick Division. They've already beaten the Flyers twice this season, which is a triumph in itself. Did anyone ever expect to see three, let alone one, man in front of Wayne Gretzky for the scoring lead. He doesn't even lead his own team. If he were a Penguin, he would be third on the team. Which brings up another point to ponder.

That command, barked by Lee Morrell, was overfteard frequently by passengers of Eastern Airlines--A voca to Atlanta--on the morning of Wednesday, October 26. As I and three of my Beacon counterparts (Lee, Tom Obrzut and Lisa Miller) were being winged to Atlanta, "the hub of the South," for the annual CMA/ACP National Convention, we were uptight. No, not because three of us had never flown before. We were uptight because we didn't want to lose the revered, official NFL pigskin. You see, we figured that funny-shaped brown thing would be our chief plaything and key to attracting peers. (We didn't know how right we were.) So we ranked possession of the football right behind having our money, and just ahead of packing our clothes. The trek through Hartsfield Atlanta International, the busiest airport on the globe, brought stares in our direction as, along with our massive slew of luggage, I cradled the football. Yeah, that's right, Atlanta! The Beacon's fearsome foursome had arrived. The Hyatt Regency came into focus as the MARTA train neared Peachtree center. (Argh! The word "peach" was everywhere.) This little city--1000 rooms, 23 stories, four high speed glass elevators--would be our habitat for four-and-a-half days. Although we arrived at approximately 11:30 a.m., our rooms weren't ready until 3 p.m. So, before we hit Benihana for lunch, we viewed the collegiate vagrants occupying the lobby. Kids from Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio and many other states in the union Wyre on the scene. Yeah, we could play some serious football with these guys.

Little did we know that he would later transform himself into "The Fly." Other sports besides football would soon begin to infiltrate their way into our nightly routines. It was charades that hatched "The Fly." DiSalvo had to enact The Lord of the Flies, and a star was born. His rendition of a flapping insect up against a balcony window became a standard in shopping malls and on MARTA trains.

Widener put the game out of reach in the first quarter, jumping out to a 24-point lead. Mike Rose started the scoring as he booted a school record 51-yard field goal. A fumble by Colonels' running back Rob Sebastianelli, set up the Pioneers' next score, an Alan Robinson three-yard run. Rose's PAT made the score, 10-0, Widener. Sean Meagley (11-20, 115 yards, three interceptions) threw an nterception which gave the Pioneers the ball at the three, and Robinson scored his second touchdown of the day to increase Widener's lead to 17-0. The Pioneers closed the first quarter scoring with a 43-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Dan Stoffere (5-6, 89 yards, one touchdown) to Tony Reed to put the score at 24-0. Things didn't get any better for the Colonels in the second quarter, as Widener put the game out of reach. Rose kicked his second field goal, a 30-yarder, and Stoffere followed a blocked punt with a 12-yard touchdown run to make the score, 34-0. The half ended at 41-0, Widener, as Kevin Beetle intercepted a deflected Meagley pass and returned it six yards for a score.

"If they are away from home, the logistics of registering may create difficulty. If they are not married, not homeowners, they don't feel a vested interest (in voting)," Carmichael added.

As a part-time rhetoric and composition teacher, I was very impressed by the power of Mr. Walsh's letter: its presentation of evidence from his point of view together with his compelling appeal made for a fine, effective piece of writing. As a simple human being, I was simply impressed by his courage. If Mr. Walsh alone benefits from this apparent! y lamentable state of affairs in the Croop controversy, perhaps Mr. Croop himself would say that all has not been lost I, too, John, saw much regrettable (if not repugnant) departmental in-fighting during my days as a student here at Wilkes, later at Penn State, then at the schools at which I've taught. ll destroyed my He agrees, Save Croop! To the Editor: After reading Mr. Walsh's letter in The Beacon concerning Mr. Croop, I felt compelled to write in support of Mr. Croop. I am appalled to learn about the denial of his tenure, especially since I have been a student in two of his classes. In both of these classes, Mr. Croop proved beyond a doubt to be a first-rate teacher. His instruction and mastery of the course material was thorough and at the end of the semester I and many of the other students all felt as though we naive, youthful zeal for what I had regarded, as a girl, as the spirit informing all institutions of higher learning. I once believed that that spirit had to be pure, eminently worthy of a young woman's or man's admiration and respect, irreproachable. ~ fuliel I made the very difficult decision last year to turn my back on a career in academics forever for many reasons, but one of those reasons was unquestionably a chronic nausea I had come to feel from watching men and women who preached their particular brand. of intellectual virtue from the lectern tear ~ach other apart in private destroy each other emotionally; saw the reeds of calumny via lies, gossip and innuendo that would destroy a man or woman's livelihood; encourage the backbiting that would keep a professor's spouse and children always on the edge of their seats wondering what catty, petty goings-on would ensue with the start of a new school year that could gradual! y ruin the security of their lives. It stinks, John. I'mnotna'ive(Icantellbyyour sensitivity and intelligence you're not, either). I didn't expect perfection, but in a career where intellectual precision is a requir;ment, it always came as a particular blow to often find such a corresponding lack of moral discipline. Keep your values intact, John they're very attractive and (ironically,perhaps)academic. Yourletter reminded me of a line from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in reference to the Clerk, a student "And gladly would he learn, and gladly teach." You see, what you're up against may very well be, simply put, a sin. That word has lost its power in the 20th century, so let me repeat it: sin. had really learned something. In either class I cannot recall any student ever making a negative remark about Mr. Croop, including those who were not doing well in the class, which is rather exceptional. Another equally unfortunate situation would be the loss of Prof. Rose Cordora, whom I also found to be an excellent teacher. For Wilkes College to lose teachers of such outstanding caliber would be a great deprivation to both present and future Wilkes students. With all the recent publicity and attention focused on Fortinsky Hall, it would be most appropriate if outstanding teachers such as Mr. Croop and Prof. Cordora would continue to be a part of the faculty of the School of Business and Economics. In conclusion, I urge those at Wilkes who have the power to rectify this tragic situation to do so before Wilkes College loses two of its finest teachers. One Woman's View Sincerely, .\/ e mber of t he To the Editor: I am writing in response to the person who protested Tony Veatch' s weekly column, "One man's view .. . . " I feel that Mr. Veatch has a talent for taking everyday campus observations and blending them with a bit of his own dementia, creating the funniest column to grace The Beacon' s pages in years. His satire is reminiscent of National Lampoon, Saturday Night Live, and SCJV, all of which are extremely popular with college students. I do believe that Mr. Veatch (along with Thad, of course) is in the process of building a cult following! I also believe that the column is meant to entertain and is not meant ot be read as hard-fact "(yellow) journalism." What's the matter with a "fairy tale" if it keeps us chuckling, anyway? I hope that "One man' s view .. . " will remain a part of The Beacon 's pages and that the witty pen of Mr. Veatch will not be dulled by the unfounded cries of "libel."

The day-long schedule of activities featured several seminars and a software fair in the Stark Learning Center Lobby. Those who attended were teachers in school districts served by the WilkesRCRC. The seminars that were attended by the entire group featured such topics as writing effective grant proposals. Participants were also able to choose from several mini-seminar topics held in the RCRC labs, including MacSchool, a seminar about software for school administrators conducted by General Computer; and the AppleShare network, showing how to increase productivity through a network of computers conducted by an Apple Computer representative. The highlight of the conference for many was the software fair, where various software vendors displayed new products aimed at mak- ing learning and teaching more exciting. Popular software and educational supply vendors such as Mindscape, Houghton-Mifflin, and General computer were represented. This year's conference was coordinated by Barbara Deay, a graduate assistant in the Education Department/RCRC, as well as Dr. Joseph Bellucci, Director of the RCRC, and Dr. Barbara Bellucci, Director of Microcomputer Education at the RCRC. In other computer news, the AppleShare network is up and nmning.

Thad, my nostril cleanser and butter churner, was involved in a detailed conversation about prunes with this lady.

I approached them in time to hear the last part of her discourse: "And then he spotted them there raisins down by the creek." There was a great flash of commotion behind me with the great hunters grasping their rifles and heading off into the forest.

I glanced up from my weapon to see the soft furriness of a deer staring at me with blank, emotionful eyes. It pouted and scratched the damp ground with its hoof and looked at me as I pulled the rifle to my chin. It moved not one inch, but drilled those white, liquid eyes into mine.

At the end of the month, the cab company would turn all the social security numbers into BACCHUS . The members of BACCHUS would then verify those numbers on a numerical list of the social security numbers of all students at Wilkes. There would be absolutely no names involved and absolutely no way for family, friends, or the administration to find out which students need the service. On Tuesday, October 18, 1988, this proposal was approved by the College, so all that is left is to arrange a contract with the cab company. Last year, the company agreed to the idea, but no formal contracts have been drawn up as of yet. In addition, since Monday Night Football is tradionally a "male" pastime, BACCHUS is hoping to sponsor a self-defense course for women, with a special emphasis on how to deal with a drunken male attacker. One thing BACCHUS members want to avoid doing is having lectures. It is their opinion th~t students are bored to death by people continuously harping at them that alchohol and drugs are "bad" and how "good" people don't use them. The club feels that most students are aware of the dangers and that they -would benefit more from being offered alternate entertainment and ways to drink responsibly. This is not condoning drinking. But it is also not declaring that alchohol should be banned. Let's face it. This is a college campus, and, like a majority of college campuses, there is a fair to large amount of alcoholic consumption taking place. Why then would an organization like BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students) want to set itself up at a place like Wilkes College? What do they think this is? The Prohibition or something? Actually, the purpose of BACCHUS is not to promote an alcohol free campus, and it's definitely not to promote prohibition. BA_CCHUS is a group that believes in awareness in drinking, not abstinance. According to one BACCHU -"1Ilember, Sue Auch-Schwelk, "BACCHUS promotes responsible drinking and wants to make students aware of what alcohol can do to them." BACCHUS began when, after a drinking-related accident occured in Pickering Hall a few years ago, Sharon Froude wondered whether there was anything similar to the high school group, SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk), available to college students. After doing a great deal of research, she learned about a nationwide group catled BACCHUS. She sent for information and soon founded a chapter here at Wilkes. For a relatively new student organization, BACCHUS already has several projects going and/or in the planning stages. First, there w_ere the activities during National Alcohol Awareness Week: activities such as "A Drink with the Deans" and "Win, BACCHUS president Sharon Lose or D:aw." BACCHUS also Froude, its advisors, Mark sponsors Monday Night Football Sowcik ·and Mary Supey, and all on the widescreen television. the members are very dedicated Right now, the biggest to the idea of an alcohol safe camproject in the works for BAC- pus.

The way the deities related and behaved toward each other was probably what the Indian people considered proper behavior among the castes. By studying these myths we can begin to piece together the origins and expressions of beliefs and customs- both sociological and individual- that the ancient Indian people professed and perhaps are still being used. A new pantheon of gods gradually replaced the gods of the Rig-Veda. The chief divinity was now the Brahman, or supreme worldspirit. The Brahman can take on may forms. The most important forms are Brahma, the creator; V ishau, the preserver; and Shiva, the destroyer. These three divinities make up the Trimurti, or "three forms." These three forms are also incorporated into the three principal moments of the cosmos: creation, maintenance, and destruction. The universe is viewed as a giant sphere, or a "cosmic egg," where creation is the act of breaking forth from the egg, or more specifically from the fertility of the egg, which holds the potential for all human life. Brahma created the universe and also proclaimed the fourVeda. The uniqueness of this first creation belongs to Brahma, but since time is viewed as cyclical (and also degenerative) the role of Brahma is limited. Vishnu maintains the social order of the universe. He punishes those who threaten the harmony of the cosmos. When this universal order, or dharma, is upset on earth, Vishnu departs from the heavens, takes on the form of one of his nine incarnations, or Avatar, and restores the order. Shiva is the god of destruction, or more specifically u11tamed wildness. He represents the unpredictability of divinity. When the time is right, he will perform a dance upon the universe and destroy it, but he will also be the creatorof the new "golden age." He is the god who sees insight beyond duality, represented by his third eye. Both Vishnu and Shiva are very complex deities. They represent the two different ethics of Hinduism: one which thrives on the social order of dharma; the other which longs to find a release from order (Moksha), and a release from the perpetuality of reincarnation- a release from samsara. The Hindu philosophy of reincarnation is an important one. Time is cyclical; life is cyclical. The human soul leaves the dead body and is reborn in the body of another human, animal, vegetable, or mineral. This process of activity and rebirth is an endless one. The state in which the soul is reborn is determined by the soul's karma- the accumulation of the soul's merits and demerits as a result of its actions. This philosophy of regeneration has also found its way into scientific theory and hypothesis concerning cosmology, such as the Oscillating Universe theory. This theory begins like the Big Bang theory, with the hypothesis of an initial primordial mass exploding and mat- Yvonne Tranell Floral Designer Proprietor 109 S.

In the letter received from Andrew Morrell, he stated, "As the main activities organization on campus, the Board would directly benefit in a complete sense from attendance to awareness." Contrary to this recommendation, Moonstruck was denied WIN eligibility. As a result, the students playing were denied attendance points. The WIN board met with Andrew Morrell at the beginning of this sememster to seek his cooperation in making Programming Board events a part of the overall competition. At this meeting he expressed continued support and asked us if it would be possible to make all Programming events WIN eligible. Last Saturday evening, the Progrramming Board's presentation of Moonstruck was not WIN (Wilkes Intracollege Network) eligible due to the indecisiveness of that organization. Students could not receive points for attending this event. At a WIN Advisory Board meeting held last Friday, WIN members were informed by the chairman of the Wilkes College Programming Board, Andrew Morrell, that they would not be able to use the Programming Board event as part of the game. This was the first time that WIN members had been informed of the Programming Board's decision.

The Redskins are about to set up for a 45 yard field goal attempt The Bears lead the Skins 27-26," explains Pat Summerall, pro football analyst for CBS sports. "John, will you come here?!"exclaims my girlfriend. "Just a minute dear," I reply. "What's more important, that stupid football game or me?"she snaps back. . Every die-hard football fan has entertained this question at least once in his lifetime, and every die-hard has ignored this question at least once, twice, or even three or four hundred times in a lifetime. Football is like a religion to the man of the house. . It is a sin to the woman of the home or even the girlfriend of the dorm. It is true that football has no real bearing on the plight of the world, but it helps to keep a person's mind off the depressing elements in our society. Football games kick off every Sunday and Monday for sixteen weeks in the fall. That's just sixteen out of fifty-two weeks in the year. Why do women, or girlfriends as in my case, have such a hard time understanding a man's passion for watching football? All that we ask is that on Sunday afternoons and Monday nights we be able to sit down, relax, and watch an entertaining sports event. Women should take some time out and listen to the particular man in their life about why he loves football. I'll tell you a little story about my introduction to the sport and a woman's growth or developing love for football, · particularly my mother. I was about seven years old and an influential little tyke. My father would be sitting in front of the T.V. acting . like a madman. Cheering, yelling, waving his fists as if he were threatening the set at times. There I am, little John-John, associating my father's actions with the action taking place on the tube. There were two sets of men wearing two different uniforms of varying color ramming into each other. I had no idea what was going on at this age. I had the football mind my girlfriend possesses today. I payed special attention to team colors and uniforms like a lot of non-educated football females. However, I didn't pick a favorite team by virtue of their team colors. I went with the hometown team, the Washington Redskins. For the next six years my father and I created a football inferno for my mother. During the years from 1973-1979 Redskin mania would sweep rampant through our household. Every Sunday in the fall was colored maroon and yellow (Redskin colors). My mother would be upstairs hearing either screams of joy or yells of frustration from the basement laboratory below. She never knew who was going to come upstairs after a game. Would it be a pair of Jekylls or a pair of Hydes? It all depended on whether the Redskins won or lost. During this six-year period my mother had little knowledge and little affection for the sport. Then 1979 arrived. I was at the peak of my passion for football. I still loved the Redskins at this time, however, I had a peculiar change of heart. I had always felt sorry for the underprivledged people in the world, and I extended this feeling towards pitiful teams in the National Football League (NFL). The team I took notice of was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs were a new football team, in the league since 1976. They had a combined three-year record of 7 wins and 37 losses. However, in October of '79, they started out with a 4-0 record. I took them under my wing as my new team, along with the Skins. My mother and father thought it was a fad for a couple of weeks. It was now January of 1980. Tampa was in the playoffs and I was still into the Bucs. My mother took notice of this new love I developed. She developed a love for watching me be happy when my team would win. She also loved to comfort me after they would lose, I think. She would listen to me rant and rave over the mistakes my team made during a loss. A shocking transformation occurred in my mother in the years to follow. She actually started watching parts of the Redskin and Buccaneer games. In 1982 she watched her first full 60 minutes of football when the Redskins played the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl XVII. The Redskins won and my house was profusely packed with pandemonium. In the years to follow my mother watched more and more .......... Beacon at the Movies Halloween IV drips boringly in gore . by John Gordon Beacon Feature Editor In the tradition of the Friday the 13th series comes Halloween IV the Return of Michael Myers, unfortunately. Blood and gore infest the screen as well as amateur cinematography, lackluster acting, and a deplorable script that John Carpenter would shun He directed Halloween and produced Halloween II. I can't help but feel that he is furious over what director Dwight H. Little has done with the story of Michael Myers in Halloween IV. The first film was a modem day classic, while Halloween II was a satisfying and suspensful sequel. In selling the rights for the Halloween series Carpenter must have made huge killings like Michael Myers did in Halloween IV. In the first two films Michael Myers terrorized the small town of Haddenfield. In Halloween IV he returns to the town in search of 10 year-old Jamie Strode, who is the daughter of Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis from Halloween I and II )and his niece. The only things that stand in his way are the townspeople -- no problem, chicken feed! The shape, as Myers is also known, takes on three and four men at a time without losing a slash or a step while pecking away at them as if they're helpless seeds of prey. More than once the results of Myers attacks are graphic much to the likes of Jason's assaults in Friday the 13th. Donald Pleasance reprises the role of Dr. Loomis, Michael's shrink from the previous films. His acting salvages what destruction the rest of the cast left him to smolder in. Hopefully Pleasance will get another chance someday to work with Carpenter on a Halloween remake, but don't hold your breath. It would appear that the Galaxy company, who currently holds the rights to the series, intends to produce sequel after horrid sequel. Hopefully they will get a creative director, cinematographer, and scriptwriter to revive the series. Four writers were used during the plotting of the Halloween IV script. It appears like one writer got sick of writing and passed the pen on, and then that writer passed it on, football.

This was not just for a vacation but to study abroad. In a study abroad program a student has the opportunity to study in a foreign country for the fall, spring, summer or the year. While abroad, credits can still be earned toward major requirements and graduation. There are hundreds of programs and schools to choose from in over thirty countries, each with its unique combination of curriculum, living arrangements, and extra-curricular activities. What Wilkes offers is counseling to help choose the program best suited to a student's needs. However, the student must apply to the program and be accepted on his or her own merits. To study abroad, a Wilkes student must have at least a 2.5 GPA, and should start preparing for his overseas studies in his sophomore year. Jeff Eline, a senior telecommunications major, studied last semester at the City of London Polytechnic in England. "I wanted to aquire an internship in England because the BBC and the London commercial systems are among the best in the world," stated Jeff. Jeff worked at an internship three days a week and took classes two days a week. He learned how to build a satellite system and worked on commercials for Sony and Lloyds of London Bank. He also helped with . a new pop · music show called Wired that links New York with London and will be airing on the USA network. It was during this show that Jeff met Peter Gabriel, Run DMC, Joni Mitchell, and Chrissy Hinds. Jeff was very impressed with the educational system at City Poly, although he said it was a bit more demanding than what he was used to. "In London some classes last one day a week, but all day long. In my classes the grade was based on only one test, one paper, or a combination of the two." Jeff also felt that his professors were extremely qualified. "One of my professors was a BBC correspondent his first year out of college." Wendy Rosencrance, a senior business administration/-international studies major, also studied at the City of London Polytechnic in London. Wendy took courses in marketing, twen-tieth century art, French existential- Please make note of the following changes in the President's "open door" sessions with faculty: m __IQ__ November 3 November 2 at 10:00 a.m. November 14 November 15 at 2:30 p.m. December 7 December 6 at 2:00 p.m. Bodrdll~ FASHION AND FITNESS CENTER FOR MEN AND WOMEN 25 W.

She found her experience to be very enlightening, al-though at times she missed the comforts of home. Students have several different living arrangement options. Some stay in houses with other American students, as Jeff and Wendy did. Others stay in dorms with foreign students, or live with a family willing to open its home to a student. In some programs students must find their own apartments or other accommodation. Last year five students from Wilkes were involved in study abroad programs. In the upcoming spring semester there is a Wilkes student planning to study in England, another in France, and Italy is expecting a Wilkes guest in the summer.

Wilkes Homes Wilkes remodel by Tom Obrzut Beacon Staff Writer half story Greek Revival house. It consisted of an interior arrangement of a side hall and two tandem parlors. The home was enlarged twice before 1870 and again about 1900, creating the picturesque villa quality of the exterior. The renovations to Kirby Many homes built on the Wilkes campus have been renovated over the years to suit the changing tastes and life styles of the occupants. The most striking example of remodeling is Weiss Hall, located on South River Street. . Albert Kipp (1850-1906) was the architect commissioned to remodel the S .L. Brown Hc'lle, present-day Weiss Hall. Kipp architecturally transformed this Greek Revival Home, erected about 1850, into a Queen Anne style building in the late 1800s. The Queen Anne style elements are found in the comer tower and in the classical motif of the Paladian window set in the gable end of the roof. Kipp used local blue stone for the tower and entry hall. This blue stone is a standard material for Wilkes-Barre's Queen Anne styled homes. Weiss Hall is currently one of the best examples of Queen Anne style in Wilkes-Barre.

Pitchers John Franco (39 saves, 1.57 ERA), Danny Jackson (23-8, 2.73) and Jose Rijo (13-8, 2.39) were among the best in the league. What's keeping this team in the second slot? If Rose can't provide the answer this season, he probably won't get another opportunity to do so. The San Diego Padres (83-78, 11.5 games out) responded to manager Jack McKeown after he replaced the oppressive Larry Bowa. Tony Gwynn (.313, 7, 70) won another batting title and Carmelo Martinez (.236, 18, 65) stuck in his usual, surprising production. However, John Kruk (.241, 9, 44) and Benito Santiago (.248, 10, 46) fell off considerably. Look for Santiago to go to the Mets in the aforementioned deal. Dennis Rasmussen (16-10, 3.43), Eric Show (16-11, 3.26) and Andy Hawkins (14-11, 3.35) anchored a solid rotation. Mark Davis (2.01 ERA) is a blossoming relief star. The surest bet in baseball was the San Francisco Giants (82-79, 12.5 games out), according to the experts. Brett Butler (.287, 6, 43) gave them a leadoff hitter and Will Clark (.282, 29, 109) played to his awesome potential, but Roger Craig's lauded pitching staff finished a disappointing sixth in the league in ERA (3.39) and Candy Maldonado (.255, 12, 68) came back down to earth. What the Giants need is a catcher. Gary Carter? Hmm ... The Houston Astros (82-80, 13 games out) faded in the heat of the pennant drive faster than Michael Dukakis' lead in the polls, a predicament that caused the dismissal of Hal Lanier. Slugger Glenn Davis (.271, 30, 99) and Rafael Ramirez (.276, 6, 59) carried their share at the plate, but Kevin Bass (.255, 14, 72) and Billy Hatcher (.268, 7, 52) didn't. The famed "Dalton gang" pitching staff apparently didn't scuff the sphere enough, as Mike Scott (14-8, 2.92) wasn't as dominant as in the past, and Bob Knepper (14-5, 3.14) disappeared after a fast start. It seemed like the Astros just lost interest down the stretch. When Dale Murphy (.226, 24, 77) has his worst year of the decade, one would figure the Atlanta Braves (54-106, 40 games out) would be in deep trouble. Give GM Bobby Cox time. Gerald Perry (.300, 8, 74), a product of the Braves' system, ended years of potential with an outstanding campaign. Pete Smith (7-15, 3.69) is a future 20-game winner. Cox acquired the unhappy Jody Davis (.229, 6, 33) from Chicago to nurture the young pitching staff. Three years, and the Braves are contenders. Book it! The American League will be covered in a future column. In the meantime, I'm off to Atlanta to get an early scouting report on the Braves. Remember, only 106 days until pitchers and catchers have to report! As a well informed student of Wilkes College, I have many questions regarding WIN (Wilkes Intracollege Network), the newly formed substance awareness game. As an active member of many successful campus organizations I want to give WIN a chance to succeed. As a commuter, I was not addressed in a residence hall about the WIN program. After asking many Commuter Council students about WIN's address to their organization, I was still told that WIN's goals and how they were to be met are still unclear. People on C.C. are still not sure ofWIN's role in campus activities. This left me perplexed. After informally speaking with other students on campus, it was suggested that we (the students) hold an open forum so that students such as myself could ask questions. The TV Club members immediately rose to the occasion. They set up the Forum and asked WIN if they would participate. Dr. Garr, WIN'sadvisor, thought it was an excellent idea; one to inform more students about WIN. The TV Club told WIN they would set everything up, but it was up to WIN to publicize the event. The only publicity for the Forum was an ad in The Beacon ... and that was put in by the TV Club. For an organization that wants to inform students, they sure have an unusual way of going about it. The Forum was held on Tuesday, October 18. I found out some information, but we were restricted to one half hour. I left with more questions than I entered with, as did others. WIN states that students who sign up with a contract get WIN points for coming to certain WIN eligible events. Members within · certain organizations wanted to know how WIN planned on going about this social aspect since it's the members of other organizations doing all of the preparations and execution of events. Students in the Programming Board wanted to know when a representative of WIN was going to speak to the them. On Friday, Oct. 21, at the WIN Advisory Board Meeting, WIN told Andy Morrell, Chairman of the Programming Board, that Moonstruck was a WIN eligible event. Andy, acting on behalf of the Board, told WIN that this was the first that he, or anyone from the Programming Board, had heard of the arrangement and before he could consent to their wishes he would have to present this to the entire Programming Board. The only members of the Programming Board that knew anything about WIN wanting to make Programming events WIN eligible are those such as myself that went out of their way to become informed. Most of the general board doesn't even know what WIN is, due to lack of publicity from WIN. Some of the executive Board members just found out about WIN and their prospective role in campus activities. Mr. Morrell may have been harsh in his presentation of these facts, but how can we as a Programming Board give WIN the right to decision on a whim if they want to have an event to to be WIN eligible. The Programming Board puts on 30 shows a semester. With this many shows we have to be extremely organized. Friday's meeting telling Andy that WIN would like to have Moonstruck eligible, was a day before the event was to go off. I don't know how WIN stuctures itself, but being a three year member of Programming I can assure you that to have a successful does prepare for an e the previous day. from when a member the movie to tell stu no longer WIN eligi one to tell.

Wilkes held on to the lead until 20 minutes left in the game. The teams went into overtime where Arabis made a great save on a breakaway by Allentown.

To The Students, The weight room in Weckesser Annex has been closed until further notice. The reason for the closing is simple: lack of responsibility demonstrated by the students. For example, not returning the weights to their proper place, breaking a $3000.00 machine by misuse and basically abusing the equipment. I know the facilities are not the most adequate. However, until the new gym is completed we must make due. I am merely asking for a certain amount of maturity to be shown in the weight room. There is no reason whatsoever for there to be paper on the floor, tobacco spit in the comer etc... The apathy found in the weight room by its patrons . is unexcusable. Let's have pride in Wilkes College and treat the facilities with the respect they deserve. Sincerely, Todd A.

"It was like a dream," he said. Tinseltown and the rest of the nation agree, George. The Dodgers winning a world title was just a dream back in April, according to the hallowed pundits of the game. Not enough offense, too little defense they contended. A man named Orel Hershiser was enough, as we all found out. Another thing that we found out was that the pundits can be wrong, w_hich is not an unusual discovery. Just what happened to the San Francisco Giants, guys? And the Astros?

' •• t �Wilkes College October 27, 1988 Wilkes-Barre, PA Vol. XLI 18766 No. 7 hit a "Valle • 1n a row By Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor 13 A "good news-bad news" situation now exists for Bill Unsworth's Colonels (2-5, 1-4 in the MAC). The good news is the fact that three games remain, two of them at the cozy confines of Ralston Field. A chance to salvage the season is there for the taking. The bad news is that those three games feature the top teams in the MAC (Widener, Juniata and Lycoming) as Colonel opponents. And after consecutive losses to Delaware Valley, 29-18, and Lebanon Valley, 35-14, in corrsecutive contests, the Colonels aren't exactly peaking. Two themes were evident in Delaware Valley's triumph over Wilkes at Ralston Field on Saturday, October 15. For the Aggies, it was a strong running game. The Colonels, on the other hand, endured an afternoon of missed opportunities. Sandone numerous scoring chances, the Colonels were only able to put three points on the board in the first half. Linebacker Joe Daches recovered Delaware Valley quarterback Tim . Ford's fumble at the Aggie 16 yard line, but Wilkes was forced to settle for a 36-yard field goal by Mike Dungen. The freshman's sixth field goal of the season tied the Wilkes record The Aggies added a 34-yard touchdown run by Ford in the second quarter to make the halftime score 22-3, Delaware Valley. A seven-play, 55-yard Delaware Valley drive, capped off by a 5-yard touchdown run by Albany, put the score at 29-3 and out of reach for the Colonels. Meagley had a good second half as Wilkes closed the gap with two touchdowns. A nineplay, 66-yard drive ended with a l3-yard touchdown strike from Meagley lo Stevens. The other fourth quarter score came on_ an eight-yard pass to Matt Sullivan, the result of a 12-play, 63-ya:-d drive. A two-yard rm by Meagley on the conversio!l made the final score 29-18, Agg.e~.

Referring to economic systems like the one the Soviet Union has, he said our system may be flawed but we are not controlled by it as the Soviet citizens are. The awe in which the United States is held springs from the fact that we have freedom of speech, not from our military power, Forbes pointed out.

The sanctions imposed ranged from official warning to dismissal from the College. The fines that are collected are put into a special school account to fund the classes. Under the old policy, students who the College felt lacked responsibility and maturity in the use of alcohol were required to participate in alcohol education programs. Allen said the class is now mandatory for all students, whether they are 21 years old ornot, found in violation of the policy. 'The program (mandatory alcohol education classes) was designed to fill a void the College had in its existing alcohol policy," said Allen. "The goal of the class is forthe individual to begin thinking how alcohol affects their life, whether it's in a minor or major way." The classes began last month and will be conducted monthly. See Alcohol page 4 by Barbara J amelli Beacon News Editor Official announcement of the $1 million partnership grant to fund the Wilkes College Regional Computer Resource Center (RCRC) was made Monday at apressconference held by Wilk es and the Pennsy 1van ia Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA).

Taking part in the conference were: Dr. Christopher Breiseth, President of Wilkes College; Mr. Ned Heeter, PHEAA representative; Dr. Joseph Bellucci, Director of the Wilkes RCRC; Dr. Barbara Bellucci, Director ofMicrocomputing in the RCRC; and Mr. Angelo Cipriani, member of the RCRC Board.

In that letter, Dr. Guggenheim complained about what he perceived to be a lack of democracy at Wilkes College. His comments were wide ranging and included many serious charges against the institution. Unfortunately, students are generally not in a position to evaluate most of his comments, especially those that pertain to the faculty's choice of department chairman, the agenda of faculty meetings, and the preparation for careers that Wilkes offers. Students might be inclined to take Dr. Guggenheim's comments at face value, and conclude ,that a seri-. ous problem exists. Based on my experience at Wilkes, Dr. Guggenheim's criticisms are totally without merit. Speaking bluntly, I am shocked that someone with his educational level could be so wrong about so many issues. If space allowed, I would be able to fill two or three pages of the Beacon, detailing the ways in which Dr. Guggenheim's criticisms are invalid. I do wish to focus on a few issues, however. First, department chairs are subject to review by the faculty every three years. Thus, ineffective chairs are identified to the administration, and, I strongly suspect, not retained \n that role. Second, faculty do have a tremendous impact on the agenda and discussions of both departmental and full-faculty meetings. During the course of an academic year, the faculty will be called upon to deliberate and vote on a wide range of issues including the curriculum, governance, admissions, College finances, and student life. Some of the discus- : , •• • • ·•••• • .•.• ,J! • ·• ·•• ·• ·• ·• ·• •~ r ~ ! ❖:•: : ::•:. : Vi ■: •: .: •• •• ■ • 001tffl~o.m10Nt : '!: : ?(■ j • of the Economics Department, "Unfortunately that one detractor campaigned long and hard at every level of the tenuring process and in the end prevailed by dint of volume and persistence. Charges that were factually incorrect, distorted, irrelevant and out of context were presented by his detractor and the Tenure and Promotions Committee and the administration apparently accepted them uncritically." It is not difficult to see that Prof. Croop was denied tenure due to political infighting rather than as a result of anything concerning merit. Fred Croop's service to Wilkes College in the six plus years he has been teaching here has been nothing short of outstanding. His commitment and dedication to his students and this institution are exemplary. Students look to Mr. Croop with respect and admiration and regard him as a teacher in the truest sense of the word. To the students which have learned under him he is not just a course instructor but the embodiment of the curriculum itself. As one student so aptly phrased it, "He has shown me the entire scope and purpose of my education. He has taught me the procedures and theory as well as helped me to better understand the applications of my knowledge. I could never learn from any book the valuable understanding I have learned from him." See Croop! page 3 sions become very lively, and the votes of the faculty are binding. Third, Dr. Guggenheim's assertion that the the College "channels students into meaningless service occupations" is unbelievable. Instead, the College makes every effort to give students an education that will prepare them to assume leadership roles throughout the Wyoming Valley, and even at a national level. Wilkes' alumni are very successful and visible contributors to the community, region, and nation. Judging from an informal poll of my students, it seems that most have not read Dr. Guggenheim's letter. However, for those few who have taken the time to read it, please do not take it at face value. Instead, realize that it was written by a disgruntled soul who was obviously out of touch with the reality of Wilkes College. Sincerely, Kenneth M.

He received his Masters of Business Administration from Wilkes College. He has participated in the presentation of continuing professional education seminars for the holders of the CPA license. He is a member of the Institute of Certified Management Accountants, National Association of Accountants and has attended numerous professional education seminars. Mr. Croop' s credentials and commitment speak for themselves, however, it seems as though they didn't speak as loudly as his spiteful detractor. It is imperative the administration does not lose sight of its purpose and role in the education process. Wilkes College is not, has never been,norwill iteverbe,arecognized research facility. Wilkes is here to educate and inform. This is not Harvard University. Wilkes College is not an institution whose reputation is bound to its ability to export new and bold ideas, rather, it is charged with the task of distributing that information which is believed to be relevant and important This is not to saythatWilkesshouldactivelyavoid important research; it simply means that it is not possible to require it from its faculty. It has been charged that Fred Croop is too narrow because most of his formal education has come from Wilkes College. Unless Wilkes College does not firmly .believe in the credibility of its programs and degrees, the charge of narrow becomes ridiculous and unwarranted. It has been charged that the school purposely refused tenure to Mr. Croop because they felt they needed to keep a tenure spot available for a candidate with a Ph.D. in Accounting. This is even more unfounded then the first. Wilkes College can neither afford a Ph.D. in Accounting nor could it ever attract one. Wilkes College actively pursued reasons to substantiate an otherwise spineless denial. This in itself should send a message to the administration that a real problem exists. Fred Croop is simply invaluable to the future of this institution. Prof. Broadt, Chairman of the Accounting Department and an active instructor, has said, "Fred is the most skilled and talented professor of Accounting at Wilkes, and that includes me. He is simply the best." Dr. Williams, who has served in many capacities at Wilkes has provided the following statement, "Fred's service to Wilkes has been qualitatively and quantitatively superior to any present or past Accounting professor. Students respect and like him because he is a fair but rigorous teacher who prepares them superbly well and always extends his time and effort outside the classroom to help them ... His PAGE1HREE combination of CPA, CMA, and MBA is unique among professors in Northeastern Pennsylvania and the fact that he teaches management, computer science and a very wide range of accounting courses makes him virtually irreplaceable. Many of us in the School of Business and Economics are still in a state of shock over the fact that one vicious detractor is enough to outweigh years of exemplary · service. This is an extremely demoralizing message to young untenured faculty members." The reaction from the faculty is obvious. The injustice and unfair practices employed here are unequivocally despicable. Fred Croop has served Wilkes College with honor and integrity and because one less-than-honorable faculty member saw fit to abuse unwarranted and undeserved political power in a way that any decent American citizen would regard as appalling, he has been denied his right to tenure. It is obvious that his detractor is not interested in the welfare of the students of this college, nor is this person interested in the integrity of this institution. Furthermore it is obvious that his detractor is solely interested in personal, menial power. Wilkes College has suffered a tremendous blow. The ramifications of this affair are far reaching and have only just begun to surface. Prof. Rose Cordora will not seek tenure as a result of this. How many other gifted and talented professors will leave or lose interest in Wilkes College because of this? Wilkes College will not be producing as high a quality of student as it presently does in accounting·, management or computer science. The riff that has been created between faculty and administration will endure for years to come. Most importantly it is the student who shall suffer through the holocaust of this injustice. The administration of this college has the ability to reverse this injustice, however, it will not overturn it without pressure. The student body of all Wilkes College students, in all departments, must have their voice heard. The facts are incontrovertible, and, as we've been told, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, the needs of the one, represented by revenge, spite, and resent. Fred Croop should receive tenure and his detractor should be admonished for actions taken in this affair. I strongly urge the student body of Wilkes College, before it is too late, to cry out on behalf of Fred Croop, the students, the faculty, and the institution we know as Wilkes College.

The Beacon learned Florence Zaykoski, 72, was climbing the stairs to the fifth floor of Miner Hall to see her granddaughter, Michelle Dominick. While on the third flight of stairs, Mrs. Zaykoski suffered a heart attack. According to security's report, at 6:35 p.m. a student making her way up to the third floor found Mrs. Zaykoski lying on the steps. The student rushed into third floor hysterically, searching desparately for help. Georgine Tarapchek, a junior, heard the cries for help. Being certified in Cardiac Pulmonary Recessitation, Tarapchek went to the aid of the elderly woman. After checking for vital signs twice, she began the resucitation process. After several minutes, a slight pulse was found. The second application of CPR was administered with the aid of a second student. Shortly after, Assistant Chief of Security John Marancci arrived and also aided in administrating the CPR. Soon after the students began the CPR, an ambulance was called and Wilkes-Barre General Hospital was notified. The woman was placed in the coronary care unit at the hospital. She died the following Saturday. Irr=======================~=="!

The individual must also serve himself. He usually does this in what is known as "the hunt." Here he attempts not only to fight with nature but also become one with it. The animal is seen both as a symbol of violence--the human breakaway from the world of nature--and a symbol of intimacy--the human desire to be reintegrated into nature.

The Hoodoo Gurus, the Screaming Tribesmen and Kings of the Sun are all making their influence felt within the U.S. One of Aussie's most popular bands, the Lime Spiders, has been regarded in the last few years as the best that country has to offer. Their latest release, The Cave Comes Alive , is good, but it could have been a lot better. Side one starts off with the powerful "My Favorite, Room." •I i I I I I I II I I I After listening to this song, you get an idea what the Lime Spiders are all about: strong guitar sound, simple riffs and gruff vocals from Mick Blood. Other catchy tunes include the obnoxious "Just One Solution", "Blood From a Stone", and an excellent cover of Cream's "NSU." It's side two that falls short. For starters, "Just One Solution" is given a reprise. This denotes a feeling that the group didn't have enough material. "Space Cadet", a good tune musically and lyrically, fails because of sill alien ta effects used at the end of the song. The Spiders were obviously trying to sound psychedelic. It might have been fascinating twenty years ago, but the style seems corny today. Aside from the album's negative phase, The Cave Comes Alive is worth buying. Other songs Jike "Theory of Thira", "Rock Star", and "Jessica" must be heard! Guitarist Gerard Corben plays in such a relaxed style that it makes you want to play the instrument. The Lime Spiders will continue to show that Australia has more to offer than Paul Ho an and kan aroos. ____________________ WHA.T IS W.I.N. ???

The red swept the room, illuminating each and every staggering buffoon's face. Thad, my houseboy and ear wax extractor, was still marveling over the strobe light we had delicately attached to his bare chest with masking tape and a tube of super glue. He spun around in a less-than- · adequate breakdancing routine, and I had to spear him in the head with a stiff, over-starched pair of jeans in order to calm him down. The seething pervert to the left of my personal slave and blemish remover was unobtrusively fondling the skin cells accumulated on his own kneecap. And he seemed to be enjoying it too. His hair was creatively arranged in what can only be termed the anti-mohawk. Normally, all the hair is shaved except :-, " a rectangular pelt in the center. in a genius-like effort, this man's hair sty list left all his hair intact, except he shaved the area where the hair would remain on a conventional mohawk. That catastrophe in style, combined ~2ilffillke ~ with the fact that he was clad only in boxer shorts, and that he was chewing tobacco and would occasionally spray other patrons with gritty, black projectiles, made everyone stay an agreeable ten feet away from him. My attention shifted away from the obnoxious boobs perched in laundry baskets and dryers, and centered on the odd behavior at a certain washer. Little did I know that it is actually a giant blender, and can be used to mix a greatly successful pina colada. A nondescript necrophiliac was shoveling in the alcohol, coconut, and giant masses of crushed ice while violently vibrating his entire body to the tunes of Pink Floyd. After a while, his eyes opened as wide as possible, and he stepped back and gave a gargantuan scream. Everybody in the room, with the exception of Thad, my navel deodorizer and cheese shredder, ran in front of the washer in haste, and held their cups at an angle perpendicular to the machine.

The music blared once again while the new found bartender, who I later discovered was named Buckwheat Hollow, dutifully, dedicatedly, and, well, ignoranlly, began whipping up more of the same drivel. In the middle of the crowded confusion of the party, I picked my famed chemistry professor, Dr. Swain, out of the mass of people. "Did you hear about the nearsighted dog that was killed after chasing a parked car?" he shouted repeatedly while sipping his drink. His hair was slightly ruffled having just been knocked on the side of the head with an airbound Hewlett-Packard calculator. He was talking to a well-en- dowed young lady, who kindly offered him a band aid which he gladly took. He seemed to be affected by the blow, for he came up to me and said, "Did you hear about the nearsighted farmer who accidentally milked a bull?" The professor's words becam..: mush in my ears as I focused on an opening door in, the far end of the laundry room. A beautiful woman was silhouetted against a backdrop of light As our eyes met, everybody else in the room became a blur, and disappeared as we walked towards each other. What followed was a Platonic paradise of togetherness, talking about things I could never share even with close friends, thinking not about life's insignificant troubles but about the intelligent, fully alive person at my side. No jokes. No clever characterizations. No sarcasm. Out of that completely insane world emerged something, or rather someone, who makes sense. A bit optimistic, huh?

This talented young actor jumped feet first into the role of the grotesque Dogberry with full abandon. His exaggerated spitting speech was hilarious, the pomp and swoon of Shakespeare's comic interruptions worked perfectly with the wonderful fooling of his motley crew: Tim Trach, Roan Everett and Eoin Ennis. Together they brought the house down with complete merriment. And while I'm at it, although praise has never been my forte, Nick Humen did a splendid job as Sexton, on a moment's notice, and proved his talent is one we'll see a lot more of, if I may end a sentence with a preposition.

Bedford Hall was designed about 1876 by Bruce Price (18451903), who rose to national prominence in the late 1800s. Price is best known for his Queen Anne and Shingle style homes, particularly those located at Tuxedo Park, New York. Bedford Hall is believed to be the earliest of his houses still in existence. Price maintained an ,office in Wilkes-Barre from 1872 to 1876 before moving to New York. Kirby Hall, erected in 187374, was designed by Frederick Clark Withers (1821-1901) of New York. Withers was once a partner of Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead, working with them particularly on the architectural treatment of Central Park in New York City. The finn of Vaux and Withers renovated McClintock Hall in 1863. Weckesser Hall was designed in 1914 by Charles H.P. Gilbert (1860-1952), a residential architect from New York. Gilbert designed the house of Frank W. Woolworth, the main founder of the F.W. Woolworth Company. This fact probably explains why Frederick Weck ber of the Woolw lected Gilbert to home.

The story builds to a climax of intriguing twists and turns. Director Carl Wagner is joined by scenic designer Joe Sheridan, lighting designer Greg Gazda, and stage manager Maura Mundy. All of these contributers displayed their talents throughout Much Ado. Other members of the cast included Rebecca Haywood as Antonia, Leonata's gracious sister. Chris Brunnock performed tile part of Margaret. The salivatating Watchmen of the Night were played by Roan Everett and Eoin Ennis. Verges was brought to stage by the acting of Tim Trach. Bridget O'Brien played Hero's waiting woman, Ursula, and Nick Humen portayed a Sexton. Much Ado About Nothing was masterfully performed in every aspect of the theatre. The acting, directing, and lighting were as sharp as the comic bite that was constant throughout the play. Th@ lID@lB@@)]). VOL.

We knew we were in The Jungle. Bright lights, the smoke of stogies, scattered programs and ticket stubs representing broken dreams littering the ground constituted the atmosphere. For those of you with some innocence left, The Jungle is the den of iniquity known as Pocono Downs. For those of you with a total naivete, it's a race track, a pony paradise, a horse haven. Get the picture? On Friday, September 30, three young Wilkes College stallions and an outsider privy to the ways of the wild danced with Lady Luck. For Jim Clark, Dave Kaszuba, Lee Morrell and Joe Welsko, it was the ritual of manhood. And a heck of a good time. If the track conditions of this tale seem a little fast--as our good friend Saul Needle, the public address announcer at the Downs might tell us--those with weak hearts (or thin wallets) might want to pull up. For the rest of you, "We're offl" We made our way to our destiny in an '84 Mustang, our first horse of the evening. Lady Luck struck early as we were accosted by two elderly gentlemen bearing free passes. "Zowie, it's got to j)e our night, baby," howled Kaszuba. "We can parlez those extra two clams into a fortune," Morrell chimed in. As we found our seats in the grandstand, Welsko noticed a " ... bevy o' babes parading around in short, red dresses." The stand. up posters which abounded satisfied our curiosity: "Roxanne Kernohan--two nights only." Roxanne Kernohan, the sultry dancer of the Genesee Cream Ale commercial, live and in person. And a look-alike contest to boot. Fate was indeed smiling on us. After purchasing the "Better For The Bettor in '88" program, we perused the prowess of the ponies. Post time for the first race was 7:30 p.m. It was closing in on 7:15. "Yeah," remarked Clark, "it's time to do the dirty deed. Let's hit the window, Lee." Kaszuba and Welsko decided to sit out the first running. With program in paw, horse in head and pesos in pocket, the two mavericks strode to window three. They turned to the lovely lady at the register and uttered in their most professional voices, "Byong Bill A--to place." Two dead presidents apiece on number four to finish first or second. Yeah, we were men now. Now the waiting game began, the perils of pressure. Clark and Morrell tried to sit, but it was physically impossible. They spun their lucky acorns and chanted "Place Cloud, place" as Saul finally began the proceedings. Wouldn't you know it, Byong Bill A (owned by Dr. Ken Klemow's cousin) won the ball of wax. The two gleeful winners cockily swaggered to the payoff window to collect their due. "It's the lucky acorn," Clark told the teller. "Yeah, it's the way we spin it," added Morrell. She confessed that she had never seen such a wacky method. "We'll be back," Clark confidently told her after he and Morrell laid cash on Silvery Cloud (number 6) to place in the second race. Kaszuba and Welsko heaped some green on a 4-6-2 triple and the foursome made its way to the rail. As Silvery Cloud began the last warmup tum, his partisans (Clark and Morrell) gave him a raucous cheer. Driver Jeff Wainwright waved to the passionate fools. At that point, the acorns were-a-spinning. Kaszuba and Welsko were more subdued, yet very confident. Come on, Saul. When the dust cleared at the finish line, Silvery Cloud had placed and the first three horses were 4-6-------8! Number two was a close fourth! A second faster and Kaszuba and Welsko would have cashed in on $118 hondos. As the two cringed in despair, thinking of what might have been, they looked scornfully at a jubilant pair sprinting for their payoff. When Clark and Morrell arrived back at the sacred betting hole, their fave teller cmHd hardly disguise her smile as they sported the acorns and winning tickets. "This is easy," remarked Clark. Morrell nodded in agreement as he scooped up the moola. Alas, it wasn't that easy. The foursome bet many more times, but Lady Luck had found another dancing partner. We tried everything, from exactas to triples to ditching the acorns. Nothing worked. For example, Clark bet on Classic Gene to show (at least third) in the fourth. The only thing he showed was a string of dung up and down the track as he finished dead last, about 40 seconds behind the leaders. Of particular frustration was the eighth race, the last one wagered on by the fab four. Clark and Morrell tabbed number five Billikens to win. The stud led the whole way, and died in the last twenty yards, crushing their dreams. Kaszuba's and Welsko's choice finished a distant fifth. A win would have meant a hefty profit, but by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor instead the four boys would each eat five dollars on the night. What saved the evening was meeting Roxanne, who signed a poster for each of us. Aftei the look-alike contest, she danced like in the commercial. Yeah, we're men now. As we made our way to Welsko's 'Stang, Kaszuba summed up the group's feelings. "Gentlemen," he said, "once you experience The Jungle, you're hooked.'; Whenever we see each other, "Hi" is no longer the greeting. It's "When's post time?" ~JL!1~§.Al .()§,.q,~JLA~JJ.,q-..q,'f&.,q-;J P(§ ~ // § § § / IJ tJ fl § § As you all know, this past weekend was Homecoming. There· § were may former Wilkes athletes back.

Many of last year's graduates were back to play for the Alumni. It looked like the players were having a lot of fun out there. I know it was fun to watch. The field hockey team had a nice turnout of Alumni for its game. This was an interesting game. The goalie for the Alumni team was none other then Rob Johansen. Johansen did a pretty good job for the Alumni as he only allowed one goal to be scored. Maria Saracino scored the only goal for the Alumni as the game ended in a 1-1 tie. § § § § ****** I Congratulations to Coach Unsworth and the football team on their fine performance in Saturday's Homecoming game. ****** § § The women's volleyball team did a great job in knocking off § FDU-Madison on Thursday night.

Hooters play tough, lose 2-0 by Andy Renner Beacon Sports Writer The Wilkes men's soccer team played a strong, disciplined Moravian College on Friday, to whom it lost 2-0. On Sat-urday during Homecoming fcsti-vities the Colonels played the annual Alumni game. Wilkes had a few opportunities to score on comer kicks early in the match against Moravian, but were unable to find the net. Kevin Tronkowski and the defense held tough in the first half until a goal scored by \1oravian off a cross. Wilkes played well enough to upset Moravian but, unfortunately, it did not happen. Moravian scored about seven minutes into the second half to seal a 2-0 victory. The Colonels played a lot of defense in this match and are starting to come together as a unit. On Saturday against the Alumni, the Wilkes squad scored early and often as Don "Swiss Cheese" Shaw was the brunt of the attack. Shaw gave up five goals off the first five shots. The Alumni started to make a comeback in the fun-filled match but fell short, 8-4. Paul "Chooch" Tavaglione, a spring 1988 graduate, came back to lead the Alumni attack. Goalkeeper Chris Arabis made some acrobatic saves late in the game to keep the Wilkes team ahead, . The team thanks the Alumni for coming back and giving it their best shot. The game was fun and entertaining for both players and spectators. The Colonels challenge Moravian for the ball in Friday's game.

'. It is a fifteen minute time frame in which the team with more moxie and desire finds a way to win. The Wilkes Colonels outscored Upsala 10-0 in the fourth quarter las't Saturday to pull out a 30-21 win · in front of 2,000 I l Homecoming fans at Ralston Field. It was a game the Colonels (2-3, 1-2 in the MAC) had to win to save the season. Although Upsala wasn't an MAC opponent, the win put the Colonels back on track and in a position to do some damage in the second half of the campaign. "We have five teams left on the schedule who are capable of beating us, and I think we are capable of beating them," said head coach Bill Unsworth. "If we continue to play well and play a whole game with intensity, we can beat anyone. The conference is tough." Was a 2-3 record expected at the midway point of the campaign? "We knew it was a distinct possibility," said Unsworth. "We've played three tough road •..... ·· ·.·. ' games, and we have two more left with Lebanon Valley, who's really improved, and Widener, who wants us bad. Anything can happen." Against Upsala, the ., ,. , .,.. Colonels used the running game } to perfection, as three running ( backs had productive days. Joe } Bednarski (13 carries, 152 yards, f ~ one touchdown), Courtney l: McFarlane (16-125) and Dean Ambosie (12-63-1) led a rushing attack which posted 19 of the Colonels' 22 first downs. i )· 'l~ifiili~iiilll.: :~1~;~ti~f;l; said Unsworth. "It was the same thing with Albright. We feel that if we run for 100 yards, we can win. That's not always the case, but it's our gameplan." Upsala opened the scoring with a 5-yard pass from quarterback Rob Wright to Roy Jarrett in the second quarter. The score capped a 3-play, 50-yard drive. Wilkes countered with a 20yard touchdown run by Joe Bednarski to knot the score at 77. "Bednarski gives us a spark," said Unsworth. "We have so many good backs, it's just the luck of the draw. Whether it's Courtney, Dean, Joe or our wingbacks, the potential for the big play is there." The Colonels had a chance to take a halftime lead, but senior wingback Jim Farrell dropped a sure touchdown pass. Mike Dungen just missed a 42-yard field goal and the score stayed the same at the half. "There was no excuse for Farrell dropping that pass," said Unsworth. "That was just a total lack of concentration. Sean told he threw it poorly, looking at the fil perfect pass." Upsala's Ed off a Sean Meagley the third quarter and 34 yards for a tou extra point was no Vikings led, 13-7. Meagley threw ceptions in the game for the year. But yet to panic.

I wanted to talk to and listen to these people, and find out how we can serve them better." Casey and his cabinet then fielded inquiries and listened to complaints from the audience. They included a mixture of public and personal matters. Secretary of Public Welfare John White and Secretary of Education Thomas Gilhool handled most of the governor's references. Many of the exchanges encompassed the field of education, especially for the handicapped. "Pennsylvania's schools have great strengths in the area of education of the disabled on which we can build," said Gilhool. "It has been suggested to us by a citizen's task force and by the House Committee on Education that we invest in the implementation of approaches to teaching which work. They will entail early education and the transition from school to productive work." Casey also addressed the issue of higher education funding. "Since I've been governor, we have increased funding for scholarship assistance at a rate higher than any other in our history," he said. "We have a strong commitment to lessen the cost of higher education in the state. The right of college education should not depend on the size of a parent's pocketbook or the willingness of a student to incur debt." An audience member also asked if the Casey/Singel Education Reform Plan was being put into action. "All points have been or will be. One of the most important is a minimum salary of $18,000 for teachers. We also want to subsidize the educational costs of students who agree to teach in underserved areas," said Casey. "Our support for education is genuine. In the first two years of my administration, we will have increased support for education by almost a half billion dollars. I challenge any state to do that." Casey also stated his personal motto as an administrator. "A governor has to make tough decisions and be a leader. I'm not afraid to make those decisions."

There are over one hundred participants involved. The response to this homecoming weekend has been excellent." Saturday morning brings with it first the judging of the dorm displays. According to Shipula, the alumni look forward to seeing the Wilkes school spirit displayed. A few years ago, Shipula said only a few dorms had displays. After a meeting with stu- dents and the Homecoming Committee the response increased tremendously over the years. This y~. more than fifteen displays will be judged. Campus tours for alumni and interested students begin at9:30 a.m. on Saturday. This gives the alumni a chance to see the changes which have taken place on campus and give them time to relive memories from their own college days.

Though the Volkswagen bus I picked up in no way compared to the Orange Horr.et, it could take the jolt of an occasional furry animal perched in the road, which was the only test I needed to perform. Within minutes we were speeding down the interstate, with Thad's hands leaving the wheel every few minutes to scan an animal crossing with binoculars, hoping to spot a wild, daring possum 'f~~ readying himself to dart across the road. In the middle of a raging thunderstorm we pulled into the crowded parking lot of a hellish hellhole called Pickering. The oddly shaped triangular building reeked of decaying excrement. A gritty, seeping black film crept down the brick walls expo~ing the blank emptiness of hollow windows. There was a blonde, small-eyed, wrestler-type sitting spread-eagled at the door. He was nursing a quart of watermelon wine cooler, and his chanting of AC/ DC's Highway to Hell did little to conceal the screams of freshly castrated resident assistants. We scaled the multiple tiers of crooked steps as a small puddle began to form beside his left leg. IB3~~©©rtu VOL.

Elmes-Crahall said that her experience in public speaking and thefactthatsheteachespublicspeaking were additional but equally important qualifications. She also said that being a woman was an asset throughout the selection process. Basically, Elmes-Crahall's job was to keep the meeting running smoothly and to remove the pressure of deciding who to allow to speak from Governor Casey. She said the job was "hard" in that she had to remain authoritative enough to keep the meeting moving yet remain sensitiveenough to know when a person, who might not have had a question, should be heard. She described the situation of the parents of a three year old deaf boy whose parents were trying to have the boy enrolled in school. The local Intermediate Unit would not allow them to enroll their son in the Scranton School for the Deaf, their choice forthechild. After making an appeal at the town meeting, the Governor instructed the Secretary of Education to have the child enrolled in school by Friday. The meeting lasted approximatelythreeandahalfhours,anhour and a half longer than expected.

The walls of her home shake every time her son walks, ereating a dangerous situation. When discussing the success of the town meeting, she mentioned being told during the late afternoon on the day of the event that she would have to introduce the governor, giving her only a few hours to prepare, and being cued to the wrong camera at one point in the proceedings. Overall however, Elmes-Crahall said that the meeting "basically went smoothly." 1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~i1 Sp EC I A L I N VITATI O N TO ALL WILK.E S FEMALE STUDENTS • All Wilkes female students are invited to attend an informal discussion with Dr. Rosemarie Tong, 2 to 3 p.m. in the Annette Evans Alumni House on Thursday, October 27.

(CPS) Boston University rejected student proposals and issued strict new rules September 15 prohibiting students from having overnight guests of the opposite sex in their dorm rooms, "All of life after 11 p,m, has been banned at BU," senior Jamie Sanbonmatsu told a crowd of 2,000 students that had converged to protest the visitation rules the day before they were approved, BU's strict new rules may be the closest a college has returned to the "in loco parentis" relationship schools maintained with their students up until the 1960's. Under the doctrine~ literally meaning administrators acted "in place of the parents" - campuses set curfews for students, suspended students for behaving in ways they didn't like and forbade students of the opposite sex to visit with each other behind closed doors. Though the rules collapsed under student protests for greater autonomy, new drinking laws and increasing numbers of student lawsuits blaming colleges for sexual assault~ and other crimes have moved many campuses to tighten their control over potentially litigious student behavior during the past few years, St. Joseph's College in Maine, the State University of New York at Binghampton and North Carolina State University, among others, also have restricted or banned overnight visits to dorms by members of the opposite sex in recent years. Virtually every campus in the United States, moreover, has stiffened its student drinking rules since 1986, when the federal government threatened to cut off funding to any state that still allowed 18 year-olds to drink alcohol. BU officials said they were just trying to help students study. The new rules, said BU spokesman Kevin Carleton, actress "concerns stated by students, staff and parents that residences too often have failed to provide the kind of environment where an individual can quietly study and have his or her right to privacy respected." Sanbonmatsu, on the other hand, charged, "The adminstration is stunting our growth and development by denying us the right to make decisions." Under the new guidelines, some of which go into effect in late fall and others during the spring, guests must display identification cards and leave the dormitory by 11 by Susan Borthwick p.m. on weekdays and 1 a,m, on Beacon Assistant News Editor weekends.

Written by William Shakespeare, Much Ado is the story of star-crossed lovers and a vengeful sister. It is the story of Claudio and Hero, innocent love, and sacred vows; it is the story of Benedick and Beatrice, quick wits and vicious barbs. Mr. Karl Wagner, theatre director at King's College, directs the show, which will be presented on October 6, 7, and 8 at the King's theatre. Through his constant and professional attention, the cast is building a show that is sure to charm both young and old. Robert J. Michaels and Laura Herman, who star as the innocent lovers Claudio and Hero, are both seniors from King's College. Benedick is skillfully portrayed by John Domzalski, from Wilkes, while his sharp witted opponent and lover is brought to glorious life by Anne Schneller of King's. The remainder of the cast is comprised of both Wilkes and King's students. From Wilkes, Rebecca G. Haywood can be found debuting as A_ntonia, Ron Petoia is seen starring as Don Pedro, Gunnar Waldman as Dogberry, Christine Brunnock as Margaret, Nick Humen as Fransis Seacole the Sexton, Michele D. Broton as Leonata, and Patrick L. Shields as the messenger and Friar Fransis.

Their music is fun, their lyrics ridiculous, and their style is original. Most of the time, the group will only be popular in the musical underground. All of the above can be said to describe Redd Kross, a group from Hollywood, California. Neurotica, the band's latest release, is filled with songs that speak of no political jargon and no charity organization. What a relief. Brilliantly produced by T. Erdelyi (once known as Tommy Ramone), Redd Kross has songs with names like "Peach Kelli Pop," "Frosted Flake" and "Ballad of a Love Doll." Their lyrics ring with a comic tone: "Tired of being thrashed on/ are you prepared to pay the price? Better scratch' up the cash/ because the dolls just ain't that nice. Yes, important music is needed late in the 1980's, but sometimes we need a break. For seven years now, Redd Kross has recorded music that serves only the purpose of enhancing a good time. Neurotica is one of the best party albums in existence. Listen, enjoy, and forget about your problems.

The forum will be held in the TV studio (SLC 2 18) the day after fall break (Tues) @ 11: 15. Be there! Wall Street is a film that is smoothly paved with precise granites of camera work, direction, and scripting. But the cement that holds Wall Street together is the rock-solid acting abilities of Michael Douglas, Charlie Sheen, and Martin Sheen. Charlie Sheen brilliantly portrays a young accountant, Budd Fox, on the New York Stock Exchange plateau. He is already earning $60,000 a year in his current position, but Budd is aspiring to be one of "the players," as his new mentor Gordon Gecko would refer to a millionaire. Michael Douglas portrays Gecko in an Academy award winning performance. He is a stem, ruthless, and manipulative Wall Street millionaire that attracts Fox into his glitzy and extravagant lifestyle. Martin Sheen, who plays the Father of Budd (and. is, as the name might imply, Charlie Sheen's real life father), is strongly against Gecko's beliefs and ideals in the realm of business. He is a believer of hard work and ethics. Martin Sheen must also believe in hard work ethics when it comes to the intricate acting he displayed vehemently throughout Wall Street. Wall Street is filled with bump after bump of intriguing conflicts: between father and son, mentor and young aspirator, or mentor and father. A perfect mixture of acting, scripting, and camera work blend superbly to create an enduring path of enjoyment. * John can be seen reviewing the latest theatre films and video releases on the "Wilkes Today" show at 12:15 pm on Thursdays in the Stark Lobby.

And a good expression it is too, although nobody at Wilkes in •the past few years seems to have paid . any attention to it. Nobody, that is, except Scott Zolner. Starting this year out bright and shiny, Scott has reintroduced the fashion of wearing ties to school. Square? Not at all. In a totally innovative _ fashion statement that has taken everyone by surprise, Mr. Zolner, in his own inimitable style, has reintroduced good taste to campus fashion. Where else did we have to go but up? Have you noticed that campus fashion had, before Mr. Zolner's novel approach to attire, gone from bad to worse? I mean, sweat pants with holes in them. Tee-shirts with the most obscene phrases. Pajamas. Blue jeans with tatters and rips big enough to drive a car through. Oh; it's cool to relax in class, I know. Nice to have all your things hanging out during a lecture in chemistry. But where does it get you? A sloppy outfit is like a sloppy mind, I tell you. Most of us were starting to look like we just rolled out of bed in the same outfits we'd slept in.

But I don't know of any student groups that are planning any protests." In contrast, some people at Arizona State University--often portrayed as a conservative campus-seem much quicker to protest. ASU's Faculty Women's Association recently criticized the university's Business College Council for allowing a local radio station to use the campus for a Jessica Hahn promotion. "The unfortunate highlighting of Ms. Hahn shows insensitivity to women and men at Arizona State University who consider themselves serious scholars," the women's association said in a memo to the business council. Hahn, whose sexual liaison with a television evangelist Jim Bakker ultimately forced Bakker to resign from his PTL ministry, has posed unclothed twice for Playboy magazine and is now a disc jockey for Arizona radio station KOY-FM. The women's association complained that Hahn's appearance on campus "perpetuates the unacceptable stereotype of women as sexual objects." Richard Huxtable, president of the business college, said he "probably used bad judgement" when he agreed to Hahn's campus appearance. KOY-FM, Huxtable said, was hired to play music and attract students to a business college recruiting event in early September. The station was hired weeks before Hahn joined its staff. "They (KOY-FM officials) know that they purposely took the entire program over. They were there to play a little music. This was not Jessica Hahn promotion," Huxtable said. "Students were taken advantage of," said ASU student president John Fees. "We need to be careful." �PAGE TEN October 6, 1988 Amnesty group tries to turn rock into human rights crusaders (CPS) Tim Carrier, a University of Massachusetts student and a big fan of U2, made it a point to catch the band on a 1986 MTV telecast. It turned out the group's performance was part of Amnesty International's "Conspiracy of Hope" tour, designed to introduce the human rights group to students just like Carrier. And it worked. In what had to be one of the most successful mass political recruiting efforts in recent campus history, Carrier, like 30,000 other people, joined the organization, eventually founding a UMass chapter. Nationwide, the 250 campus and high school Amnesty chapters grew to "more than 1,00," reported Peter Larson of the group's membership office. "I don't even equate Amnesty with music anymore," Carrier, who is taking this term off to work as an intern with Amnesty International (AI), said. "Now all I equate it with is human rights." or' course the main purpose of the group, whose efforts won the 1978 Nobel Prize, is to lobby governments worldwide to get them to respect human rights. It publicizes the cases of "prisoners of conscience"--or political prisoners--arnd works to end the death penalty. And while a healthy handtul of U.S. students always has been involved with the issue, few "nonpartisan" groups have ever been able to build campus support in as short a time as Amnesty International did in 1986. And this month, despite having had a terrible time integrating all those new members two years ago, the group is actively recruiting stu-dents again. This time it's called the "Human Rights Now!"tour, features Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Senegal's Youssou NDour. "It's important to see the concerts--and our efforts to organize students--as one of the ways we're building a base of support for human rights,"said Ellen Cull of Amnesty's Northeast office. Building it that fast, however, can cause problems for a group. Integrating such vast numbers of new members "strained our resources.confessed Jack Rendler, who helps coordinate Al's campus chapters, and, inevitably, brought i a lot of people who were fans of music, not human rights. "I know Sting sings about it or something," one Indiana University student said when asked why she was attending a campus AI meeting. That attitude, Amnesty officials say, was the source of their problems after the 1986 tour. ' "The 'Conspiracy' tour," recalled Allen Hailey, a University of Oklahoma junior, "got more people involved, but some weren't getting the message," noting some saw it as this week's cause. Added Loala Hironaka, whose University of California at Berkely chapter grew from 200 to 500 members after the "Consipiracy" concerts: "What happened in 1986 is that you have a lot of people join up, but you don't have time to form them." It was hard, Hironaka said, to educate the new members about Amnesty's strictly nonpartisan, independent stance. "Amnesty is supposed to be nonpartisan, but students are sometimes used in partisan ways," she said. "You'd like to have. . . the students understand Amnesty's mandate." Steve Kotkin, also of the Berkeley chapter, called it "a question of philosophy." "Some are for a smaller, tightknit group where all the members are informed and involved. Others want a broader organization. I'm partial to greater numbers myself. We can always educate people after they join up." "We11 have Kotkin's in the majority.

I looked around at the scantily-filled theatre seats and wondered why such a small amount of students showed up.

They performed the first num- The ber, "Unbroken Dreams," excellently. Throughout the next two numbers, I noticed a minor flaw in the band: the guitar player's solos almost all contained two certain riffs -- a fast chromatic run riff and a multi-noted fast building-up one. Furthermore, on the really fast solos he lacked articulation. But, as I stated earlier, he has considerable talent. If I was asked to rate their performances individually, I would choose them in the order of drums, keys, bass, guitar. These are four men who produce a really ~xciting sound.

If your interests are in theatre, there's the Cue-NCurtain. If music is your outlet, you can join M.E.N.C (Music Educators National Communication) or WCLH, the student-run radio station. We all know about the Beacon and Amnicola. But what if your interests lie in the more quiet creative arts, what can you do? Well, there is a group for you: the Manuscript society. A literary magazine for Wilkes College, the Manuscript welcomes anyone and everyone. That is anyone and everyone with a desire to share what they have created with the rest of the campus. The Manuscript is open to all students and accepts submissions of poetry, prose, artwork, and photographs. If you can create it, and, of course, if it's tasteful, it is eligible for submission to the Manuscript. While publication of the magazine is the primary purpose of the Manuscript, that is not the only thing the society does. For one thing, they conduct coffee houses where people are free to s.tand up and read their poetry and prose, play music, sing, or whatever. These coffee houses are generally a lot of fun and get a relatively large turnout. The Manuscript society also sponsors talks by professional poets and writers, who are always willing to give a fellow writer some valuable advice. What if you want to submit art, a poem, or some such creative work? Say you have no time to attend the meetings, or, heaven forbid, you don't want to go to the meetings. Well, you can still submit your work, and you may see it around April in the Manuscript. For all you aspiring poets and artists out there, you can submit your work to the Manuscript by slipping it under the office door on the third floor of the SUB. If that doesn't appeal to you, give it to either of the co-editors, Eddie Lupico or Michele Broton, or the two assistant editors, Rebbeca Haywood or Kathy Hinsch. If you can't find these people and really don't want to drop your submission off at the Manuscript office, you can also give them to the faculty advisor, Dr. Patricia Heaman. So now you know what the Manuscript is and what it does. Remember, the magazine that comes out in the spring is )'.ill!!: magazine. That means that it's up to you whether it will be great or just another literary magazine. You are the Manuscript, and the Manuscript needs you!

LOCKER ROOM t A season's first t The Stevens Show !by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor § I'm really starting §off. One correct trivia by Lisa Miller by Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor A one-on-one confrontation boils sport down to its most. basic, yet enthralling situation. The stark difference between winning and losing is evident. Results are naked, out in the open for all spectators to see. Craig Stevens was in the open many · times two Saturdays ago. He left his fellow combatant watching the heels of spikes far in front of him, eating dust. In the 52-35 loss to Susquehanna on September 24 in selinsgrove, Stevens set the single game individual receiving yardage record with 230 yards on just eight receptions. The old mark was 161 by Ed Mann against FDU-Madison in 1983. Stevens blew by that number almost as easily as he did :;>ast the defender trying to stay with him. It was one of those special individual performances displayed on a higher level which is rarely seen. "They [Susquehanna] were blitzing on almost every down and the defensive back was playing inside of me, so it was easy for me to re:ease off the line and get downfield in a hurry," said Stevens. With the Colonels down 21-3 at intermission, The Stevens Show, Act 1 began. Quarterback Sean Meagley found Stevens striding the right sideline, a full three steps ahead of his pursuer. Stevens gathered the spiral and was pushed out of bounds after a·thletically attempting to keep his balance. The hookup was good for 68 yards. "I never should have looked back. That enabled him to catch up to me," said Stevens. The Colonels could manage only a field goal, which put the score at 21-6, Crusaders. Act 2 began on the next offensive set of downs. Same defender, same route. The differences? This time, the play resulted in an 81-yard touchdown, Stevens beat his shadow by almost ten yards, and he didn't look back. Scoreboard: 21-14, Susquehanna. A defensive secondary coach worth his $3.49 clipboard would proceed to double-cover Stevens after watching him roast a cornerback on successive plays. Susquehanna's Steve Briggs, however, probably lacks some gray matter in the old noggin. 'Nah,' he probably thought. 'Those plays were just Craig Stevens flukes_' Photo by Lisa MIiier The flukes continued to happen as Stevens made catches of 15, 19, 21 and 11 yards, even though the Colonels couldn't catch the Crusaders in points. Before the two long gainers, he grabbed two passes for 10 and 9 yards respectively. A 28.8 yard average on each· catch, all made ag~nst single coverage. Just flukes, Steve. "The}' stayed in single coverage because they were relying on the blitz to get to the quarterback," said Stevens. "The offensive line did a good job in picking it up, and I was able to get open downfield." Was Stevens aware of the record coming into the season? "I wasn't aware of it," he said. "I just try to contribute to the team as much as I can. Unfortunately, we lost, but hopefully in the future we'll get some wins." Stevens, a junior, caught only four passes for 40 yards last season. Was Coach Bill Unsworth expecting big contributions from him this year? "Yes," · he said. "Craig was hurt last year with strained ligaments in his knee. He's a great athlete. He can dunk a basketball despite his size (5'9", 180)." Hear that, Coach Rainey? Stevens, a native of Pottsville, PA and a graduate of Pottsville High School, didn't have many record-setting afternoons during his Crimson Tide playing days. it i Bea,:•:::~• :::a~ t five tries?

After the welcoming oraLions, President Breiseth and Dean Lampe conversed with parents during a reception. Breiseth said, "Parents pick up the extraordinary good feeling on campus. They know their kids made a good choice. You can see the pride in the sports, the Beacon, and in the clubs. Even outside viewers see the same thing." Dolores Rollman, moLhcr of freshman Sharon Rollman, felt that the school was "just a wonderful place, but I can't afford her phone calls." Upon leaving the CPA, the parents travelled Lo the picnic and sporting events at Raison Field. Many people had to wait in line for food during a rainstorm, but guests were protected by tents erected especially for the occasion. Basically everyone was posi- tive about the predicament. Henry Mabb, father of freshman Mark Mabb, said, "It was disorganized because of the weather siLuation, but with the tents everything seemed fine. I think they did a good job." "Under the tents makes it cozy," Carla Alfano, freshman, remarked. "It's a cozy family selling." "We were sorry about the weather, but everyone was patient," said Paul Adams, Associate Dean for Student Affairs. "We appreciate that" Dean Lampe also commented that "It has been very successful under the worst conditions. Parents took it in good nature." All through the day parents, students, and members of the College family were treated to different sporting events. Football, soccer, field hockey, and rowing trials were watched by very enthusiastic audiences. See Wilkes page 3 Dr. Richard N. Tutwiler, assistant professor of sociology and anthropology at Wilkes College, will be working as a visiting scientist at the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (!CARDA), one of only 13 international research centers established by the United Nations in the 1970's. The two-year Social Science Fellowship in Agriculture was awarded by the Rockefeller Foundation. Specifically, Tutwiler will be part of a multi-disciplinary team which will research better methods of farming in dry areas such as Syria, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. "We will be addressing development problems through better production for small farmers in these countries. In most of these areas, 90% of the farming is done by one household unit with the average farm consisting of 25 acres. Our research is designed to help these farmers get more for their efforts," said Tutwiler. The team will work to identify ·constraints on increasing productivity and income faced by small farmers in the Middle East and North Africa. The team's various methods will include improving seed varieties through plant breeding and increasing soil fertility. "This is a very exciting project. I have been involved with agriculture for some time, but never as a member of this kind of an international team. In the past I have worked mostly in planning and design rather than implementation," Tutwiler said. The Rockefeller Fellowships in Agriculture are part of a competitive program which offers opportunities for young North American social scientists to conduct collaborative research in agriculture or population studies at foreign institutions. The program provides for the appointment of ten fellowships each year at the international agricultural institutes based in developing countries. Campaign nears goal A 35 day period in which the Wilkes College Capital Campaign, WILKES TOMORROW, raised over $432,000 has brought their overall total to more than $12 million. This signifies that more than two-thirds of the campaign's goal has been reached. WILKES TOMORROW is a five year plan which concludes in 1990 and has a goal of $18 million. According to Thomas B. Hadzor, Executive Director of Development at Wilkes, the campaign is now beginning its regional phase and entering, that phase·,with two- , thirds of the goal already raised is a good sign. "The response we received in August is very encouraging as we enter the Regional Campaign phase of WILKES TOMORROW. This support is an indication that the strong enthusiasm our volunteers and supporters had at the beginning of the campaign is as strong as ever," said Hadzor. The funds will be used for capital purposes such as financing the new Sports and Conference Cen- See Campaign page 4 �PAGETWO Editorial . And, it looks .good on your ,,, resume • • Is Student Government the powerful student organization it should be, or is it just a breeding ground for resume-filler hungry big shots? This is the question that has been bothering me for quite some time now. In Il1Y two-plus years on this campus, Student Govemment--with the exception of a handful of hardworking souls--has been the latter. These hard workers carry the load for what seems to be an invisible student leadership organization. This heightening feeling of abandonment was raised to a new level because of an incident that probably happened to more than one person on this campus last week. In th.e very near future we will have elections for Student Government vacancies. The criterion for attaining a post involves the task of obtaining a specific number of signatures from classmates. This task has the tendency to get obnoxious. As I was walking across campus with a friend we were approached by a well dressed student and a friend who asked me if! was a senior. I replied "no" but my friend indicated that she was. He immedi ately went into his ''I'm-running-for-SGoffice-and-will-you-sign-my-sheet" spiel with accompanying polished smile. While my friend was signing--who could turn down that polished smile--! innocently asked him what his platform was: "What are you going to do for your class," I asked. After seeing his polished smile darken, he stared at the ground with a dumbfounded look on his face for a few seconds. After this momentary pause, he once again flashed that winning smile and replied "More than the person who has the job now!" He laughed and congratulated himself for his . wit (the job he is seeking is vacant). His friend, who had up until now remained silent, followed this up with "who the ---- · cares, anyhow?" Believe it or not, I do. And you should too. These are students we elect to represent us and get something done for the school and for our class. Elections will be held in the very near future to choose the best candidate, I hope you will. With the prevailing attitude, .who knows what work will get done and whose resumes will look good. I hope this is a trend that changes in the future. We deserve better. 1lll I Letters Thanks and good luck Dear Editor: Upon entering "the great rat race," I pause to wish my friends from Wilkes College the best of luck in their classes, careers and lives.

Among the organization's priorities are to examine Wilkes' recruiting/hiring/tenure/ promotion practices in order ~o co~rect inequities when they are 1dentIfied, to examine the extent of women in leadership positions to facilitate more women in policy-making positions in faculty and administrative groups, and to cultivate an advocate within the administration for . women's issues on campus.

Circle K receives Single Service Award The Wilkes College Circle K Club was recently honored with a national award for their service to the community through their haunted house, called "A Nightmare on Main Street," which was held last October and raised $2,765 for the American Cancer Society. The amount exceeded by more than 50% the most ever collected by the annual event and tripled the 1986 total. The club received a National Honorable Mention in the Single Service Award category, which is given to the Circle K Club that "through dedication and unselfish efforts has produced the best single project or service during the year." The projects are judged on need for the event, quality of planning involved, total service hours employed, and the project's merit to the campus and/or the community. The club began planning for the event in May of 1987, and by the time the event had passed, 3,297.5 total service hours had been spent on theproject,anaverageof113.7hours per member. Over 1,500 visitors passed through the haunted house, which was located in the Calvary House of the Holy Cross Episcopal Church in Wilkes-Barre. The students' enthusiasm spread to the rest of Wilkes' campus and to the community. They contacted five television stations, more than 20 radio stations which gave away free tickets, and nume regional and local newspapers, also asked other college clubs local high school Key Clubs for unteers to help work at the hau house, and solicited businesses supplies needed to build it.

It was noble, it showed my disdain for our false economy. I, no matter what anybody else might say about me, was a hippie! I was a card-carrying member of the working class, a starving studen~ with an orange crate for a coffee table and a lamp with a shade that could never sit up straight. Oh, it started slowly. First they send me a "Dear Student" letter offering me a Mobile credit card. Sure, what's a little gas from time to time. Next, more credit cards started amvmg. I had to test them out, didn't I? Oh, just a dinner here and a birthday gift there. Little things. Pretty soon I was on to the harder stuff, charging up "Cash" to the limit. Buying the bar a round and putting it all on plastic. Then it started happening. I couldn't pass up a sale. I bought a gold chain because Boscov was throwing in a second chain free. How could I resist? And I don't even like gold chains. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing one. Pillowcases, a frying pan, a red umbrella. Little things. But don't kid yourself. This little stuff just leads to the big stuff. Why, oh why couldn't I have listened to Nancy Reagan and just said "No!" And now, this. This White Elephant the size of New Jersey that they call, for lack of a bet- ter name, a Chesterfield. A sofa that could hold all the members of the D.A.R. Do I need this? Couldn't I just meander through the warehouse, regardless of the "Giant Sale" signs that drew me in? Couldn't I look at this Titanic Divan and say "Oh, that's real nice," and "Oh, the price is just right, but thanks, no, really, I think I'll just leave my money in the bank where it will generate interest." • The answer, quite simply, this last rainy Saturday, was an unqualified "Gimme!" I had to have this foolish couch. And now what will I do with it? Attatch a sail to it and enter a regatta? Lend it to the drama department if they ever do a production of Moby Dick? Heck, my couch wouldn't even fit on the stage. The armrests would be hanging out in the wings. Now what am I going to do with a couch that measures almost 3 inches short of the longest wall in my apartment? Rent it out to students? Hold Manuscript meetings on it where we can all snuggle into a comer?! Our toes wouldn't even touch! ' You see what college does to you. It makes you greedy.

You could listen to it and decide that its refreshing new electric jazz. That's good, but. . . something's missing. Now--you could see it and know that this is exciting, fresh new electric jazz. Then you'll know what to call this music that's got you on the edge of your seat. The Digital Dolphins will do this to you on Tuesday night September 27 at 8 p.m. in the CPA. Admission is free.

Photo ra h courtes of The Film Journal �PAGEELEVEN September 22, 1988 s Fashion '88 Album Attic he sounds of the Smithereens ho wears ort skirts? by Craig Cooper Beacon Columnist Green Thoughts, the latest album released by the Smithereens, is a welcome relief from hi-tech top 40. Pat DiNizio, the group frontman and resident beatnik, has come up with eleven songs that, just as in their 1986 debut LP Especially For You, speak the pains of loneliness. So moving is this collection that you feel D:iNizio actually lives the life he sings. The album kicks off with the radio smash "Only a Memory"; music critics have written about the strength and anger that this song demonstrates. Supported with a video regularly played on n A. MTV, "House We Used to Live In" has become increasingly popular. "Something New," a ditty that sounds curiosly like the Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing," is simple but moving. "The World We Know," a loud and agressive tune, will make skeptics change their mind of the Smithereens as "just another 60's copy group." Taking the title from their first record, "Especially · For You", this song has got it all: a catchy melody, fantastic lyrics, and a great sax solo from Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. Amazingly pcss1m1suc, "Drown In My Own Tears" starts side two. Continuing with that same attitude, "Deep Black" tells some hard truths about a broken love affair. "Elaine," over- powered with a twelve-string Rickenbacker, could be mistaken for a Byrds oldie. Then, in ,a cryptic tone, "Spellbound," is wonderfully moody. "If the Sun Doesn't Shine" can be classified as great rock or smart pop. The closing song, appropriately named "Green Thoughts," showcases all the band members singing excellent background harmonies. It's no surprise that the Smithereens' c~lt following is quickly growing. Maybe it's because of their blue-collar backgrounds (DiNizio was planning to be a garbage man before becoming a singer) that many people can identify · with their music. Even more important, Green Thoughts is great rock 'n roll. Club Corner and "To be or not to be?" ives gh phy. wearing a short skirt which fall's "flirtatious funwear."

There are no prima donna stars in this group; everyone helps with everything involved in putting on a show--not just acting or directing. Don't get me wrong, though. Auditioning and acting are definitely two very important · things to these people. As members of the club, they tend to know a little in advance about all the auditions coming up, and, generally, take it upon themselves to spread the word around the campus. Karl Ruling, the faculty advisor, is also technical director for productions that take place at Wilkes. The club president for this year is Maureen O'Hara, a junior theatre major. With leaders like this, you can bet this club ~ill be doing great things this year. I don't, however, want you to get the idea that all these people· are interested in is theatre and putting on plays. There is also a great deal of interest in helping the community and promoting the College. Last year, the entire club was involved with the CROP Walk, which benefits the hungry of the world. Then, there was the Talent Show which was so popular in the middle of the second semester last year. Both of these, as well as numerous other activities, arc in the planning stages for this year. Naturally, there are the usual . . ,. ,, . . ,, p .,. ., .. .. Christmas time activities, including a club caroling excursion. As I said, this is a interesting group to travel with, so I'm sure you can use your imaginations to decide what a trip like this would be like. By now, you're probably curious as to how you can become a part of this group. Well, lucky for you, you don't even have to be a theatre major, all you have to be is slightly interested in theatre. That docs not mean you have to audition for and star in every show. In fact, you don't even have to audition for one show. There is always something that needs to be done backstage before, during, and after all the shows that arc put on. That is one of the pre-requisites of the Cuc-n-Curtain: you have to be willing to join in and get involved. Anyone interested in becoming a member of this "elite" group can attend the meetings which are held on Tuesdays at 11:30 a.m. in the reading room in the Center for the Performing Arts. That's all there it is to it. And that is the Cue-n-Curtain. A friendly group of people interested in promoting theatre throughout the campus of Wilkes College, the Cue-n-Curtain is definitely an important and vital portion of the Wilkes College community.

Pete, bored with his The Chameleon Trail is a play that goes through a multitude of changes, similar to the way a chameleon lizard alters its color. These changes occur in the storyline, the settings, and especially in the character roles of the actors. Unfortunately, these alterations are only mildly appealing and the play as a whole is less than intriguing. Chameleon Trail is a one-act play done in fifteen scenes.

Women's soccer suffers road-trip defeat by Suzanne Payne Beacon Sports Writer · The Wilkes ~omen's soccer team traveled south for a twogame road trip last weekend. It was defeated by Western Maryland, 12-0 and by Gettysburg, 9-0. Though the Lady Colonels were defeated in terms of scoring, confidence and game play were improved. "If they (Wilkes) had as much skill as they did heart, they'd win every game," said a Gettysburg supporter. All the team has to do is retain the heart because the skill is coming. nake a Ii : juncture. ,ently si : crowned As yo s to a com his world. !FL football !way and g . ..·.'·'.. ....·...·.· .·... ,•......·. . •, ,, ·.·,•.•. •:•.•,·~· ;.... ,•;. :-:•,,,., ,• ,,•. •,, l \ • r .,. , ~ ~- -_ • ," •,• With the passage of time, more skills are learned and the improvements are apparent.

Why? They sure know how to rebound. The Colonels (1-1, 1-0 in the MAC) dunked Albright, 41-7, on a rainy Parents' Day afternoon at Ralston Field last Saturday, looking like a different team from the one trounced by Cortland State a week earlier. What can the turnaround be attributed to? "The intensity level of our team was a lot stronger than against Cortland," said head coach Bill Unsworth. Wide receiver Craig Stevens explained further. "Practice was live the week before the game," he said. "Usually, only the line is live. It's called 'Memorex.' But this week, there was tackling downfield. The starters felt we had something to prove." With a slick field as the proving ground, the Colonels sparred with the Lions for most of the first quarter, but a clear Wilkes-favored physical dominance was evolving. Late in the quarter, Mike Dungen's 25-yard field goal finished a 14-play, 71yard advance and gave the Colonels a 3-0 jump. On the following Albright possession, Colonels' free safety Mark Habeeb picked off a Ken Dysart pass and returned it 12 yards to the Lions' 32 yard-line. On the second play of the drive, Wilkes running back Joe Colonel of the Week Bednarski rambled 25 yards for They were so concerned about times for 107 yard!, his speed, they ignored the two game total the score and a 10-0 lead. for 200 yards.

As an Albright assistant coach confessed afterward, "Wilkes manhandled us.'' The Colonels' rushers, meanwhile, amassed 357 yards, led by Bednarski's 129. Ambosie added 88 on 12 carries and Courtney McFarlane chipped in 61 in 15 attempts. "We got off the ball, got in people's faces and blocked," commented Unsworth. "Every- . body blocked well: the line, the backs and wingbacks, and the receivers. We exploited their det fense with the influence trap, where the tackle pulls outside.

The center offers ITEC courses to teachers in area school districts to assist them in implementing microcomputer use in the classroom. The program trains the teachers in basic computer literacy, programming, and software evaluation. Wilkes College was selected to be a site for a Regional Computer Resource Center beginning with the 1984-85 school year because of the commitment of considerable resources it had already made to microcomputers in education. The original grant, totaling $996,520, was for the purchase of30 Applelle's, 15 Macintoshes,and ten IBM PC's, as well as software and other necessities for classroom instruction. The Wilkes facility is one of fourteen RCRC's throughout the commonwealth and is directed by Dr. Joseph Bellucci, chairman of the Education Department. His responsibilities include formulating the curriculum, and course sequencing. Dr. Barbara Bellucci, project director, is responsible for administration of the grant which includes hiring personnel, marketing and recruitment, and evaluating the program.

Additionally, they may be subjectto a fine up to $300.00." Possession may be actual or constructive, meaning that a person doesn't need to be seen holding the alcohol to be convicted of possession. A new program to encourage responsible drinking, entitled WIN, has been developed by some Wilkes College students to encourage responsible drinking and to teach students that they can have fun without alcohol playing a part. It establishes a point system whereby points are awarded for attendance at. College functions and taken away if a student is involved in disciplinary action. Prizes will be awarded for the highest point totals. October 1 is the scheduled starting date for the WIN Strand Many students are wondering why the halls seem a little crowded on campus this semester, but the answer is simple.

It might be safe to assume that everyone in college these days has some association with it. Certainly anyone who's ever watched a soap opera is fully aware of the convolutions of true love, right? Wrong. You ain't heard nothing yet This year love is even being taught as theme in the English Department. There is erotic love, love of God, Courtly Love, that good old standby unrequietcd love, and even the love that dare not speak its name. In the name of all this love, we have been dragging up the classics and pouring through them for signs of love, from platonic love to Love's Labour Lost to The Art of Loving. Be sure that before you graduate from these hallowed halls, and soon it will be, you too will have . your own little noses rubbed in love. Trust me. I know these things. But to take some of the sting away, I've done my research. I've died for our sins. I've spent six days reading Tristan and Iseult. In one large Macademian nutshell, let me saveall of you the future trouble. Once there was a young prince born in sadness in a far away land. His father dies in battle, his mother gives up the ghost the day he's born and he's raised by another prince, becomes a great huntsman, gets brought accidentally back to his own uncle, King Mark, who doesn't at first recognize him, of course. This is part and parcel of all these myths. Next he is sent to Ireland to slay Morholt the Giant. Much swordwork follows. Morholt is slain but Tristan is wounded. Bermuda Continued from page 5 ·-.

Every good thing that I have heard about your group was true...and more. Never have I seen such audience participation from our students! Students are still walking around with their ·kazoos," writes Debbie Guffy, assistant dean of students at Wesleyan College. "The Bermuda Triangle Band is one of the most talented groups around. No matter what your musical preference is," states Entertainment New York. Now emer lseult. Iscult is Morholt's niece, and she is the fairest of the fair. But she hates Tristan for killing her uncle. However, she cures Tristan's wound, passes up several chances to kill him, and ends up, after more strife than you'd care to hear about, being brought back as a gift for King Mark! There's some stuff about a dragon, a poison tongue, a Red Head and a lot of trifles but the important thing to remember here is that Iseult's mother makes an elixer that will guarantee that . her daughter, upon drinking this with her new husband King Mark, will fall hopelessly and mutually in love--to the death! You guessed it. By accident, on the cruise over, her maid serves The Brew to Tristan and Iseult, and BOOM, their fate is sealed. Now, here's where the Courtly Love comes in. Tristan has to be faithful and loyal to King Mark, but the truth is Tristan has the hots so bad he can't help himself from bedding down .the King's fiance. We all know what happens next Right? We've all been through something like this. Wait, it gets worse. Iscult's maid is so upset at her mistake, that she offers to substitute herself in Iseult's marriage bed, and King Mark, blind as a bat we presume, has his way with the maid while Iseult is cuckolding him like crazy on the other side of the bed chamber. Somcthing's got to give. The other Knights get wind of this and start a series of unending challenges to this tryst Oh let's see, there are so many intrigues set afoot that at one point the poor old king ends up ·hiding in a pine tree to catch the lovers but the . see him there and outsmart him. A vicious dwarf gets into the picture. Astrology, vengance, ruse, and betrayal all come after them. Why, at one point the old king banishes Tristan a$ain and actually throws Iseult to a hundred lepers! Our Celtic ancestors really had a way with soap opera. But always God is on the side of our starcrossed lovers and finds them new and more curious places to lay down together. Now here comes the twister. Tristan, for reasons too numerous to explain here, is forced to marry another Princess, in Brittany, and her name is, now get ready: Iseult. Yes folks. Did you ever break up with a girl named Betty and then take up with another girl named Betty? The only good that can come of it is when you cry out her name in the middle of the night you can't get yourself into much trouble. You and I can't anyway. Tristan is another story. He tells Iseult #2 that due to a dragon's curse he must not sleep with his wife for a year. She buys this. Meanwhile, there is more deception, intrigue, and furious sparing contests until Tristan is at last mortally wounded. He sends for Iseult #1 who blasts in on a ship, tells Isuelt #2 to back off, throws herself beside Tristan, and dies of a broken heart King Mark takes pity on them and has them buried side by side where forever after an unseverable vine grows between their graves. The moral is: save this column and save yourself the trouble. Go ahead and stick to As The World Turns. I'm sure I've given you enough of the myth to help you get at least a B on the exam.

Herc's what's what: THE BEACON IS LOOKING ANYONE WILLING TOT Anzalone sings a jok by Lee Morrell Beacon Editor A new age is dawning for the Wilkes College Programming Board. New equipment, a bigger budget, new members, better acts, and bigger audiences have made the Board increasingly opti. mistic about its future. "In just two shows this past weekend, we must have gotten five extremely interested new members; people who would be with it until they graduate," said Board Chairman Andrew Morrell. The crowds have been bigger, also. The Friday night movie brought in almost two hundred people while a packed SUB audience witnesse.d the musical comedy of Tom Anzalone. Anzalone, who has been a professional for eight years, did an hour of mainly musical impressions. His talent is his exceptional guitar playing. Although his voice impersonations were far from perfect, his playing more than made up for it. This is not to say all of his impersonations weren't on. Most notable was his Bruce Springsteen's A-B-C's. Also worth mentioning was his Bob Dylan smgmg "Peter Cottontail;" Jack Nicholson sings Pink Floyd; his Prince and Leon Redbone (the Bud guy) impersonations; and his Jerry Lewis sings Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." His show was mostly this kind of zany musicaVcomcdy. In fact, he opened his show with a duet of guitar and trombone: the guitar in his hands and the trombone, his own verbal creation. He also joked about Johnny Cash, Elvis, Billy Joel, Johnny Mathis, Guns and Roses (the religious version is Nuns and Moses), Phil Collins, INXS, The Cure {the singer looks like the disease) and Julio Iglesias (translated, his name is Joe English). Anzalone's opera training (he studied music and opera in college) came in hal!,dY when he did his interpretation Who's classic "rock Tommy.

"Where there's smoke, .there's fire," Smith said, referring to the alleged, suicide attempt. "He's hard to read. He's very emotional. When you're around him, he's subdued, but you can see the emotions under the surface. "He's much like Ali in the sense that he's only happy in his world (the ring). Tyson is so young, you'd expect instability." Would Cus D'Amato, were he alive, have been able to guide , Tyson? "Maybe for a while longer," Smith said, "but he wouldn't have made much of a difference. "Tyson's a powder keg. I think something [tragic] is going to happen to him." Between the ropes, "Iron Mike" is as solid as the substance in his nickname. Sadly, other aspects of his life are much more malleable. by Jim Clark Beacon Assistant Sports Editor The dichotomies of a celebrity are especially vivid. Mike Tyson' ihe boxer. approaches the realm of invincibility. Mike Tyson the . man exists much closer to vulnerability. Hardship is indiscriminate. It cares not if one is the heavyweight champion of the world. The creature of controversy has been a continual bedfellow of Tyson during his short fighting career. The most recent bizarre incident to plague the twenty-two year-old was on Sunday, September 4, when he crashed his wife's BMW into tree, knocking himself unconscious for twenty minutes. On Wednesday, September 7, The New York Daily News ran an exclusive claiming Tyson had attempted suicide with the crash. It also portrayed him as a wife-beater and a patient of New York psychiatrist Henry L. McCurtis. Columnist Mike McAlary? ~he author of the piece who claimed individuals close to the champ10n as his sources, also contended that Tyson has been the victim of a chemical imbalance in his brain that causes violent behavior since childhood. One incident related by McAlary has Tyson smacking his wife, Robin Givens, and professional tennis player Lori McNeil, a guest of the couple, during a summer vacation at Paradise Island. McAlary also revealed that Tyson took medication as a child to alleviate this problem but quit the treatment when he began boxing. The story even included Tyson's supposed threat to Givens to try suicide again. · In television interviews, McAlary said he personally felt the crash was not a true death try, but rather a cry for help. The day after the story was published, Tyson laughed it off. "They're trying to make a freak show out of my life," he said. "Nobody has more, better reasons to live than I do. I have way too much butt to kick in the ring to try to kill myself out of the ring." He also denied the allegations of wife abuse and psychiatric help and whisked off to the Soviet Union with his Mrs. Spaseba, glasnost. Tyson also postponed his October 22 bout with Frank Bruno due to a concussion suffered in the auto accident. He said he hopes to fight in two months. Hang in there, Frank. Mike will thrash you soon enough. When a man is bigger than life, his actions are often the victim of exaggeration. Tyson had a previous auto accident in New York City and tried to give the uncooperative Bentley to a pair of the city's finest. Heck, maybe the guy can't drive. He also participated in a late August, late-night (sans David Letterman) fisticuff with Mitch "Blood" Green, an accident waiting to happen, in Harlem. But the champ was clearly not the aggressor, and Green paid for his tomfoolery in blood. Heh-heh. "Kid Dynamite" does have a short fuse. I covered three of his bouts (vs. Biggs, Holmes, and Spinks) in Atlantic City for the Ocean City (NJ) Sentinel-ledger, and during those occasions when I observed or spoke with him, he was almost schizophrenic. One moment , he would be as happy as a lark. The next, he would be irate and snap off bitingly. The childlike appeal of one instance would give way to graphic obscenities at post-fight press conferences. He would often sleep through pre-fight conferences. At first, these routines were cute, a sign of immaturity. After a while, they looked to be something more long-reaching than youth. You know the expression "walk a mile in a man's shoes". No one envies Mike Tyson's upbringing. We humans are animals of habit, and Tyson learned many animalistic habits on the sn:eets of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Guidance is an important factor m personal ity development, and all semblances of direction in Tys~n•s life are in the grave: his mother, Loma; his trainer and guardian, Cus D'Amato; his fatherly co-manager, Jimmy Jacobs. :, ome would say that these are just irrational acts by a man of the same adjective. To be a boxer, one must have some degree of irrationality, or as opponents of the sport would contend, insanity. Tyson seems to have trouble defining his environment, decid.ing whether he is fighting or just plain living. Reports speculate that Tyson is 1Jncomfortable with his succe,s.

A popular sports cliche contends that any team can beat another on a given day. One would have had a hard time convincing the Wilkes Colonels football team that it could have defeated any squad last Saturday after being squashed by Cortland State, 37-0, in Cortland, New York in front of 4,125 satisfied Red Dragons fans at Davis field. "We didn't execute offensively or defensively," said head coach Bill Unsworth. "Cortland didn't surprise us. They didn't do anything that we didn't expect them to do." The Red Dragons took the opening · kickoff and drove 73 yards in just four plays to take a 7-0 lead. The score came on a 21-yard touchdown pass from uarterback Rich Keefer 18-34 270 yards, two touchdowns) to junior wide receiver Greg Sirico. The drive was highlighted by a 41-yard run by fullback Gareth Grayson, who finished with 126 yards on 18 carries. The Colonels, who managed only one first down (by penalty) in the opening half and six in the game, couldn't move the sticks and punted to Cortland. Keefer led the offense to paydirt again with a 12-play, 71yard drive. He ran one yard for the score and a 14-0 lead. Two big plays, a 33-yard screen to Grayson and a 15-yard toss to flanker Dave Falco after a penalty had moved the Dragons backwards, illustrated the disturbing tendency of the Colonels' defense to allow long gainers, especially on screens. After another . three downs and out for the Wilkes offense, Keefer found Falco all alone in the Colonel ' - ++-i•++-i•oi• 1-++f•+ C. 0 l onel Of th e W.ee.k yard scoring strike. The Colonels found themselves down 21-0 in the first quarter. It wasn't a classic way to open the s~ason. "On the third tou\:hdown," said Unsworth, "the cornerback was supposed to be in a threedeep zone. He covered a short receiver and didn't cover his zone. On the screen passes, we had people in the right positions but they didn't do what they were supposed to do. "We had three mental lapses on defense that caused three touchdowns. In fact, on those three big plays they had in the first half, we were in the defense we wanted to be in to in to stop those plays. There was just a total lack of execution." After a blitzkrieg like that, were the Colonels still in a position to win the contest? "We knew that they were going m try to strike quick because they have a lot of offensive weapons," said Unsworth. "We thought if we could weather that quick strike we'd be okay, and for a while, we settled down at 21-0, but then we just went back and made more mistakes." One mistake came in the form of a fumble by Colonel quarterback Sean Meagley at his own ten-yard line just before halftime. The Wilkes defense held, but the Red Dragons converted the faux paus into a 24-yard field goal for a 31-0 margin. Earlier in the second quarter, Cortland had scored on a 13-yard run by Grayson to cap a 12-play, 69yard drive, which included a spectacular 23-yard, brokentackle scamper by tailback Eric Love. i The only score of the second half came on another big play: _a 59-yard touchdown saunter by second-string fullback Nick Amodio. On the day, the Cortland offense rolled up 520 total yards. The Wilkes offense sputtered all afternoon, managing only 40 rushing yards in 25 attempts. Signal-caller Sean Meagley (824, 70 yards, 1 interception) was the victim of a shaky line and at least five dropped passes. His un canny mobility limited the Cortland defense to one sack, but the opportunities for plenty more were there. Tom Musto (25, 17 yards) saw fourth quarter action. Wide receiver Mike Harrison was the only offe:1sive standout, with three receptions for twenty-five yard-;. Punter Phil Voss punted ten times for a decent 34.5 yard average. The offensive line was also ineffective at pass protection in the scrimmage against Trenton State. What's wrong? "There were individual breakdowns, people just not executing their assignments," commented Unsworth. "That's a veteran line. They all started last year, and they're all better than that. "The same thing with the wingbacks as far as blocking and catching the ball. They're better than that." Left guard and tri-captain Jim Byrne agreed. "One guy would break down on every play. Every unit, the line, receivers, the backs and quarterbacks, had its problems. A lot of it had to do with it being the first game. We weren't putting it all together," he said. "Offensively, we own worst enemy,' Unsworth. "Every time something going, v..;'d penalty or f something." ten penalties for 93 Cortland committed · for 100 yards in the · marred battle.

If someone is injured the team is in trouble," said former runner and secondyear head coach Tom McGuire. In cross country you need five runners to score, anything less than that counts as an automatic team loss.

The present system is similar to the one described, but with a large amount of confusion thrown in. Employees were not able to unpack boxes at the new location until August 14, just seventeen days before the first day of classes. Not only were there boxes containing equipment and inventory to be unpacked, but approximately 600 boxes of books for the fall semester. Most of the setup took almost until the very day that classes were to begin, and unpacking was still being done as of this past Saturday. The books not only had to be unpacked, but they had to be shelved and labeled with numbers and prices. Ms. Ostroski herself had to do some of this preparation at home to ensure its completion in time for classes. These shelf numbers were transferred to class rosters that students can look through. One student employee felt that the system is "working out okay, but it's a lot of work." Other students proposed crowd control solutions for those waiting for books at the beginning of the semester, such as alphabetical arrangements to purchase books at certain times (as is done for registration) or according to class, for example, seniors first, then juniors and so on. Ms. Ostroski feels that the system should work for Wilkes College as it already docs for King's College. This has not been evident so far this semester. She expressed her belief that had there been more time for preparation, the bookstore would have run more smoothly. She said, "We did what we had to [do] to get the semester started." Changes made campus-wide by Barbara Jamelli News Editor Wilkes College was on the move this summer! As you have noticed, many departments and offices relocated over the summer break. These moves have occurred in two sets: the repositioning of academic departments, and the facilitation of new dormitory space. The first in a series of academic department relocations occurred when the School of Business moved to Wilkes' newest addition, Fortinsky Hall, 229 S. Franklin St., from its location in Bedford Hall. This ·portion of the moves was done in part to provide a private office for each faculty member of the School, which was not possible in Bedford Hall. The offices in Fortinsky Hall will also accommodate the expansion of the School of Business, as Wilkes is seeking to hire five more instructors for the 1988-89 school year. The Department of Art now occupies the former location of the School of Business in Bedford Hall, 96 Changes See page 3 �PAGE1WO September 8, 1988 Editorial New bookstore, old system Let me take the opportunity of this opening issue of The Beacon to congratulate the new staff on assuming leadership position in the communication and interpretation of issues and events to the Wi Community.

This most significant appreciation is due as well to the bookstore staff. Given the enormous strain on our resources this summer, change turned out to be both the best and the worst change was only with great effort that we were able to put the bookstore in operating condition, given the time ands made. I am speaking of course about the change in locale and limitations we faced. system of the bookstore. The location change was long overdue. In fact, I can Progress, however, is not painless, as we have learned once again. The stress of implementing our remember a "Letter to the Editor" from 1986 by a student that suggested such a move.

Activity ·period shortened by Barbara Jamelli News Editor Wilkes College has adopted a standardized academic week schedule. The result of this is that the activity period on Tuesdays · and Thursdays has been shortened by one half-hour. Dr. Waldner, vice-president for academic affairs, gave his assurances that shortening the activity period, once 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. but now only until 12:30 p.m., was not the specific intention of the administration. Instead, the desire was to eliminate conflicts in the students' schedules. On the old schedule, some Tuesday/Thursday classes ran from 8:30 to 9:45 a.m. while others were held from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. This created a conflict for a student who needed or wanted to take one class that ended at 9:45 and another beginning at 9:30 a.m. The new schedule eliminates such conflicts but necessitates the shortening of the activity period.

Downtown Wilkes-Barre Changes Continued from page 1 Anzalone Continued from page 8 W. South St. The new Art Department facilities will have better natural lighting (the porch is part of studio) and will enhance the identification of the department, according to Dr. George Waldner, vice president for academic affairs. Some art classes will still be held in Stark Leaming Center. The Department of Philosophy, which shared a secretary and office area with the Art Department , will continue to do so in Bedford Hall. The third component of the department relocations has brought the Education Department and the Regional Computer Resource Center (RCRC) from the southern section of the building to the main floor area of Stark Leaming Center, former home of the Art and Philosophy Departments. Once again, the new location provides each faculty member with a private office. The Macintosh, IBM, and Apple Ile/GS labs have each been given more space in their new rooms. As the College identifies more space, it hopes in the future to provide more microcomputing facilities. Fourth, the rooms vacated by the Education Depari.ment and RCRC are now part of the Engineering Department. One of the rooms will be devoted to a new environmental quality center and will house the newly acquired GC Mass Spectrometer. Additional space will be · used for faculty offices. The second set of moves was precipitated by the burgh WT AE, and heard on morning radio shows from major cities in the U.S. He has also performed at many New York and Los Angeles comedy clubs such as Dangerfields, Catch A Rising Star, The Comedy Store, The Improv, and The Comic Strip. "Anzalone with his guitar, his fine, operatically trained voice, his wonderful oddball humor, and his keen and quick friendship with the audience, is a star on the rise," writes Bernard Hunt in The Tribune Chronicle . "Show business must have room at the top for a guy who can imitate a trombone, sing like Johnny Cash in Japanese, Russian, and Italian, impersonate James Taylor, Gordon Lightfoot, Billy Joel and Leon Redbone, and sing 'Pinball Wizard' from the rock opera Tommy as though it really were operatic." Don't miss the antics of Tom Anzalone this Saturday. The fun begins at 8 p.m. and is free to all Wilkes students. Degrees Continued from page 1 need for more ormitory space. This year's freshman class is the largest to enter .the College in eight years and because of this a waiting list for dorm space was generated in early June. To alleviate the problem the administration decided to convert Ross Hall, 251 S. River St., to a women's dorm. The offices located in Ross Hall had to be moved to new locations across campus. The Center' for Regional Development/Small Business Development Center (SBDC) has moved to the first and third floors of Hollenback Hall. (The second floor still houses the offices for the Health Sciences Department and Dean Roselle.) The Cooperative Education office, directed by Ms. Cheryl Gibson, also had a need of a new home. It is now located on the third floor of the Max Roth Center. Mr. Joseph Kanner, director of testing services, can now be found on the second floor of Chase Hall. The shifts in location of the Ross Hall offices have triggered more moves like a line of falling dominoes. Because the SBDC now resides in Hollenback, the Wilkes College Health Service and the Campus Counseling Service needed a new area for operation. The College had to rent office space at 136 S. Franklin St. to accommodate them. Finally, the offices for the Evening, Weekend, and Summer Program and its new director, Mrs. Galli, have moved from Chase Hall to the third floor of Roth Hall. graduated summa cum laude.

This movie tells the true story of car designer Preston Tucker, played by Jeff Bridges. Bridges gives a very credible performance and the story is interesting enough to make Tucker a late summer hit.

It portrays Cruise as a young bartender who catapults into the limelight and makes it big as one of New York City's best bartenders. There's a rough transition as Cruise leaves New York to tend bar in Jamaica. Other than this, the film is very pleas- Sly mm. 7- Anything would be better than Poltergeist II..

The Co:onels are no longer the 09 infant that Unsworth inherited in 1982. After consecutive 7-3 seasons, adolescence has been attained. Competitive gridiron adulthood is being able to contend for a title consistently. Has Wilkes reached that stage? "We think so," professes Unsworth. "I think proof of that is the fact that we were picked to finish near the -bouom of the barrel in the Middle Atlantic Conferen,;e last year, and we ended U!) playing for the title in tlic-. final game. "We have good players here, and we brought more in with our current freshman class. We just hope to keep doing more of the same." In 1988, . the run-andshoot will again make the Colonels' offense an exciting group to watch and a tough unit for opposing defenses to contain. "It's a very sophisticated, flexible offense that makes the defense play us straight up," said Unsworth. "It's adaptable to many different types of quarterbacks." The quarterback at the controls of the aerial circus this season will be senior Scan Mcagley, who was the starting kicker last year (2325 xp, 4-6 fg, 37 pts). In limited action as a signal caller, Meagley was 5-10 for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Unsworth is happy with Meagley's attributes. "Sean is good on his feet and he runs well," said the coach. "He's a good option quarterback. As far. as throwing, ,he excels at the short. and intermediate routes. He's head and shoulders above anyone else in knowledge of our offense." What about the psychological role that a quarterback must fill? "The best type of leadership is to perform in stressful situations," said Unsworth. "Sean can do that. He's a winner." Sophomore Tom Musto will back up Meagley. Joining Meag]ey in the backfield will be junior running backs Dean Ambosie (145 att., 690 yds., 3 td in 1987) and Courtney McFarlane (79-337-2). Ambosie, the second leading rusher in the Middle Atlantic speedy Stevens to contribute more this season. Senior left guard . Jim · Byrne leads a strong offensive line that also returns junior center Dale Cargin, senior right guard Jim Feldhausen, senior right tackle Bill Kem and junior left tackle Kyle Sheckler. The unit, nicknamed "The Dawgs," draws glowing praise from Unsworth, who said, "They have the potential to be the best offensive line I've ever had at Wilkes." Defensively, opponents will be on the lookout for senior linebacker Joe Daches, season. He and junior Steve Tehansky (50 solo, 27 asst.) bolster the linebacking crew. Up front, Jumor Tim Hopkins (11 solo, 17 asst.) anchors the line. His counterparts will be senior Larry Hubert, junior . Keith Maiorano and · sophomore Rob Sebastianelli. They will be counted on to pressure opposing quarterbacks and stuff the inside run. "Pass defense is our number-one priority," says Unsworth. "If you can't stop the pass, you're in for a long day and a long year." The _ men Unsworth has assigned to Football tri-captains Mark Habeeb, Jim Byrne, and Joe Daches. Conference the past two seasons, has been named a preseason All-American by College Football Preview. The receiving corps is talented and experienced. Seniors Jim Farrell (31 rec., 422 yds., 1 · td) and PJ. Sollazzo (15-193-2), along with juniors Mike Harrison (15-161-4) and Craig Stevens (4-40-0) will be Meagley's main targets. · Look for the a tenacious hiller. Along with Ambosie, he has been named a College Football Preview pre-season All-American. Daches made the conversion from defensive end to linebacker last season with a fury, leading the defense in tackles with 105 (68 solo, 37 asst.) and posting 11.5 sacks. Senior Steve McKaig (98 tackles in 1986) returns to the battlefield after missing a the all-important task of shuuing down opponents' passing schemes are: senior free safety Mark Habeeb, senior strong safety Mike Canterella, and junior comerbacks Van Chiavacci and Tony Grobinski. Habeeb had previously been a comcrback, but Unsworth has his reasons for this season's switch. "Mark's ability intercepting natural will be enhanced at safety," he said. "He most experienced mem our secondary and he1 ordinate things from middle for us." Experience at position is a big factor as Unsworth is concerned. commented, "Our . philosophy is to plaJ many people as we can a ball game. We want to our guys fresh and give valuable game ex So, if someone's not it doesn't mean he's not to play." An area often over by many fans is teams. However, a g more per year is often by a member of these Field goal duties will handled this season freshman Mike Unsworth is undecided w Dungen or Meagley will extra points.

Here are some helpful hints for students on studying from the Health Services Office: Where should you begin? "Take a breath!," said Mark Sowcik, college counselor. Although everyone would like to have easy solutions, this is one case where you just have to study, he said. One way to start tackling all the work is to make a list of all the work you have to accomplish (for the next one or two days). Writing everything down may seem silly, but after viewing your hardest? What work must your list, you may wish you had be done particularly well? What been doing this throughout your work is most important to you? whole semester.

He said that students in certain majors can graduate without exposure to history or english classes. These ,are two subjects considered to be a central part of a liberal arts education. The new curriculum would be bene ficial in providing a liberal arts education, enabling students to keep pace with the modem world, said Dr. Robert Heaman, associate dean of academic affairs . Wong said, "Many freshmen view the core as one thing to get out of. We would like to change this attitude." The new core will give students more of an op- , portunity to choose courses that interest them. It would be implimented in the Fall of 1989 if accepted. Tl.le new core would be more compact and would consist of a total of 44 credits -- seven credits less than the present core. According lO Wong, this would give students a chance for more electives. The new core will give students a chance to be more active learners, as well as give faculty a new set of strategies for teaching. It should preserve the same general mixture of classes. said Wong. Most differences would lie in the teaching methodology and breakdown of sequences. The four sections featured in the new core would be: Basic Skills, Core Seminars, Distribution Requirements and Physical Development. Basic Skills Require- ments will include: l) Writing Requirements -- Eng 101-102 and upperclass writing proficiency based on writing-intensive courses as defined by a Commiuee, 2) Mathematics Skills -- One course required unless math SAT score is above 475 (compared to a score of 450 presently required) or if one's score on local placement Continued on p. 4 Inside this issue: Letters p-2.,3 Major Barbara p.6 Steeber--hot stuff! p. JO- Spons wrap-up p.11 �May 5, 1988 PAGE1WO Editorial Letters to the Editor Interaction vital Dear Editor: I read your editorial last week and thought it a bit strong. I want the readers to know, for whatever it's worth, that administrative intervention goes beyond the reaches of the Manuscript. While trying to obtain statistical information for a Beacon article, I was thoroughly stonewalled by members of the Administration for what I assume to be political I'm sure that many are expecting a whining defense of my editorial of last week, some smart answers to the accusations thrown at me. Many will be disappointed. I will accept responsibility for any blame that people would like to assign, but I do. however, firmly mainla!n my position. · What should concern the Wilkes community is not the "name-calling" that supposedly occurred, but the many issues that remain undiscussed, and the many problems that remain unsolved. My only concern when writing any of my editorials was the academic health of WIikes College (not the status of the school). If I failed in that respect in the eyes of some, fine. But I did learn something from this experience: censure helps nothing. Criticism can only be effective if it is constructive, not destructive. But there has to be criticism. The number of letters I received after last week's issue indicated that there are people out there who ·vere displ~ with the way The Beacon has been run. Perhaps if more people stepped forward earlier to contribute to The Beacon, if more people had expressed their displeasure earlier, the criticism could have been weighed and dealt with. At least the displeasure would have been expressed. Instead, for the final issue, The Beacon received some letters that condemned us for everything written this semester. I welcome the criticism, but only ask why it took so long to surface~ When there are a handful of dedicated people working to put out a weekly publication, there are bound to be problems; there are bound to be clashes of opinion between that group of students and the overall community at Wilkes. This clash of opinion, though, could be constructive, even remedied, if there were only more interaction between The Beacon, the students, and the faculty. Student participation is another vital factor. Although the interaction and participation that took place in the past two issues were certainly not ideal, it was interaction. It is a start. If The Beacon received ten letters to the editor every week, if students submitted articles on a regular basis, if faculty members were willing to step forward and offer suggestions when they believe they see a problem, not only would The Beacon be a better publication, but it would be a more effective tool for communication for the Wilkes Community. The Beacon's purpose is not propaganda. Neither should it be a forum for fierce invective. It should, however, point out problems and offer solutions. Perhaps the view expressed in the editorials is different from the views of others on campus. If you disagree with anything an editor writes, if you see something in the paper that displeases you, you owe it to yourself and to The Beacon to step forward. I can only hope that the interaction that has begun, however weakly, with this issue can continue to grow with future staffs. I extend one final piece of editorial advice: if you have an opinion, express it. You may not be able to change the world with the expression of your ideal, but at least you can believe that you tried. reaso~. reexamined and · academic comm think that your tr matter was the be opening a ratio regarding these iss that Andy. whose often admired (Hi an Afternoon Lon year's Manuscript is return to often.), had question the process judgement that. resul poem's not being pub I assume failing to advise mo consistently during and quality. I believe she was doing just that I also believe that Dr. Heaman has played a vital role in keeping the Manuscript an active campus publication. Furthermore, without her efforts, the Manuscript would have ceased to exist several years ago. Instead of being criticized in a confrontational manner, Dr. Patricia Heaman should be applauded for advising the student editors on a first rate Manuscript publication. Dr. P.

Regardless of the fact that I didn't get the information needed to write the article, the students must look beyond my situation and that of Mr. Morrell's to the root of the problem which is the lack of power vested in the Dr. R.L.

Thus, you did not squander precious time and resources proving anything to anybody; such creative planning provides a model that other journalists would do well to emulate. After throwing my hat into the air in celebration of these journalistic accomplishments (only to have it get caught on top of your beloved bell tower), I began to understand that your· recent editorial was really so much more the crowning achievement of a year of The Beacon in which you and your staff have redefined student journalism in a way I never imagined possible. You have helped me understand what is wrong with such professional newspapers as The New York Times and The Washington Post and with such student newspapers as The Harvard Crimson and The Colwnbia Spectator. These publications, for some foolish reason I used to consider important, actually run objective news stories that begin with leads and continue with verifiable facts and direct quotations. The Beacon, however, prints a potpourri on the editorial page, thus cleverly demonstrating that the distinction between fact and opm1on is, for the truly educated at any rate, just an illusion. I have throughout my years at Wilkes encouraged students to empower themselves by learning enough to ask penetrating questions and to approach difficult issues from a variety of perspectives. How silly I have been! Now I see that issues such as censorship, whether real or perceived, are not really worth examining in depth; furthermore, I applaud your apparent decision not to investigate this particular topic as consistent with your treatment this year of such other insignificant issues as university status, faculty rights, · core curriculum rev1S1on, and the sports and conference center. It all makes sense now, and I thank you, dear editor. After all, an issue's reach should not exceed The Beacon's grasp, or what's a newspaper for? · Michael C. ONeill Dear Editor: , Last . week's . editorial Censorship must stop!" would l ppear to be the culmination of :me of the saddest years for The Beacon that I have witnessed in th~ four years I've attended Wilkes College. Your newspaper, which is characterized by sloppy journalism, poor writing and overall carelessness, has at l~st stOOJ?C~ to ....-.~.. calling and .mger pomtmg. Using Dr. Heaman as a scapegoat fo~ your issue was a poorly c_once1ved decision. You ha:e misused your position as _editor and apparently pushed May 5, 1988 objectivity aside. If you, Ms. Steinbacher, had carefully considered the facts, you would have realized that the · final decision to remove the poem did not reside with Dr. Heaman, but with the staff of the Manuscript. In no way could one deem Dr. Heaman's suggestion as an act of censorship. Therefore, your statement, "The staff of the magazine had bee1t told, in effect, that their judgement was faulty" is blatantly incorrect, for the judgement was theirs. You go on to state, "Who has the right just by the virtue of a doctorate degree and a little bit of power to question any student's judgement of taste?" Well _Ms. Steinbacher, you possess less power than an instructor, have no degree, and as far as I know, no textbook journalism experience. What gives you the right to question anyone? You have obviously been appointed to a position for which you have no qualifications. A position that allows you to voice your uneducated, inexperienced opinion and to allocate blame to anyone you choose. As you challenge Dr. Heaman in the editorial I challenge you -- to journaiistic excellence, something that I doubt you or you or your staff could ever deliver. James C. Evelock Dear Editor: Just when I thought the Beacon had hit an all-time low, it got lower. Last weeks's editorial on censorship simply highlighted the journalistic incompetence and ignorance of the paper's editorial staff. The fact that the editorial resorted to a level of name-calling and finger pointing was an embarrassment and a disgrace. Miss Steinbacher, I found it very unprofessional that Dr. Patricia Heaman was ripped apart and pulled through the wringer without any opportunity to explain or defend herself. I hope you learn that if you plan to run a controversial editorial in your paper, you also print an objective article explaining the situ:.tion so readers can form • their own opinions and not be forced to inherit yours. My sympathy lies with Dr. Heaman and all those who worked very ' hard to make this year's Manuscript, in my opinion, one of the best issues this college has ever seen. It is a shame that now people will view the publication as "the issue that censored work" instead of "the issue that shows a display of collaborated creative effort."

It's one of those inevitable Lhings that you look foiward to but, at the same time wish would he next week instead of Lhe present So it came as no great surprise when I returned to my room one evening to find my friends galhered for a "surprise" farewell party. There's something sarcastically ironic about the whole idea of a "surprise" farewell party but I was, nonetheless, appreciative. After all, this would be Lhe last time that 1 would see some of these people, m:my of whom I had seen almost every day for the last four years. I thanked the group collectively Lhcn wandered about to see who was there. There were many people that I knew standing about the room; people from the different clubs and organizations I had been in, classmates from years gone by, Fudgie Lhe Whale and his icecream cake pals, Ratty the Commuter, and even some of my professors including Dave Rash, my Stats instructor who, I would have guessed, would be the last person who would ever want to see me again. There were also some people who I didn't know. There were representatives from the World Wrestling Federation and HannaBarbera who had come to thank me for Lhe free publicity. There was also a man from the Mall Merchants Association who presented an honorary key to the Food Court. I was rather touched, it was all quite nice. What a great four years it had been. I stood around by myself for a time while the guests helped themselves to cold cuts and cheese. I then decided that I should mix and converse with these people who had taken the time to come and wish me farewell. I noticed in one comer a group of people from the Beacon. "Hey Don," they said,"it was sure nice having you aboard!" "Thanks for the opportunity," I replied. "Hey, do you guys remember Lhat article on The Inferno?'" I asked. "Well, em, not really, ummm, I think so, but sorry, all the back issues have been Lhrown away. But it was sure nice to talk to you before you left." "Oh well, same here," I said. I noticed in another comer some members of the Wilkes Theater group. "Hey Don," they said, "it was sure nice having you aboard!" "Thanks, I really had great fun in those shows!" I replied. "Hey, remember when we had to dress in those outlandish costumes and do those goofy dances?" I chuckled. "Well, er, not really, umm, I think so, but sorry, all of the old programs have been Lhrown away. But it was sure nice to talk to you before you left!" "Oh, well, yeah same here," I answered. What was going on here? · It was then Lhat I saw those crazy guys and gals from the Fabulous Foot Long Hot Dogs with Kraut, my intramural team, relaxing on the floor. "Hey Don," they said, "it was sure nice having you aboard! " "The pleasure was all mine," I replied. "Hey guys," I exclaimed, "remember when we actually won that game?" . "Well, err, not really, umm, I think so, but sorry, all the old score books have been thrown away. But it was sure nice to talk to you before you left! " "Same here," I said disappointed.

January 29 was a da that will go down in history as possibly the day of one of the best concens ever played at ilkes. This was the day Livingston Taylor came to town. He played for two hours to a packed CPA. On February 23 Wilkes got to witness one of the funniest duos around. The Pheromones cracked up a Stark Lobby crowd with goofy tunes like their hit "Yuppie Drone." On March 12 the Board attempted a gym dance without a gym.

With all the bru-ha-ha over censorship afoot, one feels the need to take sides, make comments, nail down one's position. Although I firmly agree that censorship is wrong, so are yellow journalism, name-calling and personal attacks. Last week's editorial came so close to all of the above that I was reminded of The Prime of Miss Jean Brody. It left me with a bad taste in my mouth. So I've decided not to take a stand at all. Instead, I'm going to do a little bit of all of the above this week. On the brighter side, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Patricia Heaman on the many years of service to Wilkes College: teaching, running the writing lab, and overseeing the literary magazine which might not be produced but for her long years of dedication to it The question still exists between censorship and editorial supervision. To jump on the one without giving credit to the other is unfair and sophomoric. The suggestion to remove the poem in question may have been made for reasons other than those prescntl y being discussed. But like I said, I'm staying out of this one entirely. Not one more word about it. Now Major Barbara, in spite of having so much going for it, was, alas, a major bore. The reason: no editing. Veronica and l went expecting some light yet fulfilling entertainment for a Sunday afternoon, after which a nice dinner and some sherry would round out a perfect day. That was not to be. I set the frozen roast on the counter at 1:30 and we trotted off to the CPA. By the time we got home the meat had thawed and rotted. That George Bernard Shaw was a geniusy and that his words must be respected, I can uderstand. But to strap a college audience into its seats for three hours of British tedium was tantamount to murder: One came away wishing one had not gone at all. In an accent play, which "Drawing Room Comedy" is supposed to be, why is it that every member of the family seemed to have come from a different part of the world? Yet there is so much good to say about the play. The sets were very professional. The munitions factory, complete with pipes and barrels was wonderful. Carl Ruling, Bob Wachowski and everyone who worked on those 3s~!1P,k.~~2! Barbara Like some kindly Dr. Roy Morgan, I'd like to write just a happy, glowing little gem of a review, but I would be neglecting the overwhelming feeling of despair over the unending length of the play which so distracted from its other merits (like this sentence!). But that would be selfcensorship. As I said, I don't even want to touch censorship this week. I'm editing it out Instead, I'd like to concentrate on what I did like about the play. The delightful portrayal of Lady Britomart by Maureen O'Hara was so consistently in character that one wants only to applaud. Chris Brunnock was delightful as Mrs. Mutchens, as were Laura Herman as Barbara, David Shock as Viewpoint as Charlie Lomax (Don't ya know.) and Maura Mundy as the zany Sarah. Chris Collins was very strong as Andrew Undershaft and Thomas McGeehan turned a small part into the perfect butler. Even Rob, Johanson, that irrepressible ham, did a wonderful job of building from light comedy to heavy dramatics. He showed all his usual skill and then some, including that knack he has for physical comedy, i.e. the drum and bully schtick with Scott Zolner which was handled exactly in his signature. But a director must know the standard rule of theater: to entertain. . Four long, unrelenting acts of drawingroom social commentary from 1905 is just a bit too much to ask of any audience, even of an "old fogey" like me. To have tightened it up and cut at least forty-five minutes would have been an ~ct of knowing generosity. Frankly, I got so exhausted by intermission, I tried to buy some M&M's to throw at Don Semyon, but wisely he was hiding in the box office. As John Simon has said, he will allow a play to be anything bl:lt boring. Granted Shaw is inevitably long. But I mean, really! The two guys sitting in front of us left at intermission because they actually thought -- or hoped the play was over. Poor Veronica turned to me during Act III and said ''I'm so hungry I could eat my program!" By Act IV she actually began to chew on it If some of the Shaw had been "censored", the talent of the actors miglt been able to shine through. choice that "the audiea:e won't sit through this" had accompanied by censoring mean editing -- perhaps V, wouldn't have ended up wi poisoning last Sunday. But fm not going ID involved in censorship. Ck iting either. If I did, I'd censor everything I've against the play because ii nice, and I'm supposed to be to everybody. I think. that censorship?

At 7, the Kamikazi cleaning lady making bombing runs against my door with her vacuum cleaner woke me again. From down the hall, a clock radio blared. Someone tuned in a morning news show on their tv. Like it or not, I was awake and likely to remain that way. After a Juke-warm shower and my usual nutritious breakfast of Coke and peanut M&M's, I decided to go for a walk. I ended up on the Market Street bridge, watching all the people heading for work. I remembered a time, not too long ago, when I, too, used to go to work. I had security. health insurance, and money in the bank. Then I recalled all the times my boss "volunteered" me for holiday overtime on Christmas and the 4th of July. I remembered the day my company Look away our yearly raises and health insurance in order to save l)lemsclvcs some money. Then I shivered, although it was a warm, sunny day, and searched my mind for cheerier thoughts. I peered down into the depths of the murky Susquehanna, and, like the river below me, I let my thoughts drift. I've been in school for four years now. and although I'm no closer to a degree and a good job than I was four years ago, I've still learned much. Yes, thanks to college, I've become wellrounded.

For ten weeks this summer that is exactly what Steeber will be doing, as he plays for the Washington Generals on their European Tour. The Generals are the team that travels with the world famous Harlem Globetrotters. In essence Steeber will be traveling with the Globetrotters since both teams share the same plane and hotel accommodations. "I remember watching the Globetrotters play on tv when I was younger, but I've never seen them in person," Steeber said. "I'm definitely looking forward to this." He also said that there is a possibility that one of the games will be televised on ABC. This all came about when Al Clocker, the head coach at College Misericordia and scout for the Generals, contacted Wilkes basketball coach, Ron Rainey. "Coach Rainey asked me if I was interested and gave me the application," said Steeber. "I filled out the application. I never thought it would happen. I'm an average basketball player; I thought there was no way I would get picked. I didn't have to try out. I was surprised after they made the choice; it was up to me. I really never expected to hear from them again." After only one , meeting with Washington Generals' Coach Red Klotz in New Jersey, Colonels Continued from p. 11 Opeka have joined to form the number one doubles team. They have lost only one match so far this season. The only senior on the team is Nagwa Taylor. Opeka, Amy Shukis, Carolyn Hazlehurst, Coleen Brady, Stacey Synecko, Michelle Bannon, Dawn Meyers, and Jen Marcheski, as well as Creegan, will be returning next year. So watch out for another successful season from them. Basball by Bill Kem The Colonel baseball team came under new leadership this year with Jerry Bavitz taking over the reins. Savi~ inherited a relatively young team. The team had a good year even though the Colonels record stands at 10-14 going into Tuesday's game against King's College. The Colonels have given 110% effort where he lives, Steeber was selected to participate in the tenweek European tour. "They called me Monday [April 17) and I had to let them know that day so I could get my passport and the paperwork for the Visas could be done," Steeber said. The ten-week tour will include ten countries, starting in Spain and ending in Moscow, USSR. It is the first time since the 1950s that the Globetrotters have played in the Soviet lJ_nion. were totally for it h::t their main concern was my education," Steeber stated. "If I didn't do this now I would probably never have a chance to go to Europe again. Another big thing about all this is getting paid for something I like to do." When the basketball team held senior day on February 20, Steeber thought he had played his last basketball game except for an occasional pick-up game or summer league competitions. Right now Steeber is not sure exactly what position he will be playing for the Generals. As a Colonel he played power forward. "I'm going to do whatever they want me to," he said, 'Tm just looking forward •to being on the team, but most likely I'll play power forward. I know I'm not going to be able to do some of the things I did here. I have to realize my limitations." Steeber then went on to add that "a lot of people think [the Generals] don't play hard, but they do play hard. They do play to win." I really expected to never from them hear stated again," Steeber. II Basketball star Jeff Steeber Approximately 60 games will be "As of now it's a permanent job if I want it. If I do alright, and played and some weekends they he wants me t,o play in the next will play four games with a tour, I will," Steeber said. If he couple doubleheaders on tap. doesn't go on the next tour, "I don't think it has really which will include games in sunk -in yet," Steeber said. "I Australia, Japan, and Southeast have so much schoolwork I have Asia, he will be back for one to take care of first.

The Lady Colonels, under Coach Dave freshman come out and do very In Steeber's lour year basketball career as a Colonel he added his name to the Wilkes annals by becoming the 13th person in the College's history to score 1000 points. This is a feat he also accomplished at Northwest Area High School, where he was also the 13th 1000point scorer. This season he scored 428 points, averaging 18.6 per game, and led the team in rebounds pulling down 9 .3 per game. He ended his career with a total of 1222 points. ,,Steeber wil not be the only player from the area making the trip with the Globetrotters. George Aldrich, a former player well. The team finished at 12-12 with five players making the trip to MAC championships this weekend at Shawnee on the Delaware. This year's captains were Charlie Rome and Joe Mokay. The team consisted of Rome, Mokay, Robert McDonnell, Chris Gerber, Andrew Harris, Scott Brady, Keith Kopec, John Pirich, Rob Cella, John Serafin, Ed Steve, Jack Harrity, Colin Mondero, and Steve Kaminsky. Men's Tennis The men's tennis team played the University of Scranton today. "It was the first match we had a solid chance of winning. We played pretty well," said Coach Phil Wingert. Several players won their first singles matches of the season. Number one singles player Chris Arabis picked up his first win in 1988 7-5 and 63. Demetris Radu - was also victorious for the first time this for King's, ancl Todd Bailey, played for the University Scranton, will also be m team.

Women's Soccer by Suz.anne Payne Last fall, women's soccer e the fust women's varsity to be added to the Wilkes' c program since 1977. ugh the year was a tough irying one, the team made it the season. As Coach Jackiewicz jokingly said at Leuawornens' banquet, ell, we showed up for every The record did not show the vement that the team made ghoul the season. There many rookie players who in end made many contributions to the team's play. Kelley Cota was chosen as offensive player of the year. W ithout Cota there would be no women's soccer team. The team's defensive player of the year was Mary Jo Zukoski, who consistently upheld a shaky defense. To.e team is looking for a faster start next season and to develop a team contingent for MAC playoffs in the next few years. female harrier on the squad had a good season as she broke the Kirby Park course record. However, this was her fu st season on the team , and she will be graduating this May Other seniors who will be missed next year are Tom Urso and Pete Huber. Urso was the only four year member on the team. Coming back next season are Doug Lane, Tom DeVine, Johri Kline and Paul Miorelli. Volleyball Field Hockey by Kathy Harris by Lisa Miller Although their record was 823, Coach Doris · Saracino and the Wilkes College volleyball team have a lot to proud of, and the future looks bright for the Lady Colonels. Many outstanding performances were given by Lisa Kravitz, Debbie Miller, Linda Straface, and graduating senior co-captains Mary Theresa Ayres and Carolyn Ciccarone. The Lady Colonels are losing only two members of the team to graduation, and the prospects for a good team next year are excellent. Starters who are most likely to be- returning include Kravitz, Miller, Straface, Lora Rinehimer, Lynda Pluschau, Dorothy Jablonsky, Jen Catania, and Stacey Kem. Congratulatioos to Coach Saracino and the team on a job well done , and good luck next season. Also, congratulations to Carolyn and Theresa, and good luck in the future. Men's Soccer by Andy Renner The Wilkes soccer team opened the 1?87 campaign with a handful of upperclassmen; Matt Ryan, Gerard Piazza, John Purcell and Paul Tavaglione. The team was young had a lot of Under the direction of Coach Gay Meyers, this year's field hockey team played hard. Everyone on the team contributed in some way to the Lady Colonel's effort At last Sunday's Letterwomen's banquet Kelley Wandel was awarded the Offensive MVP of the Year award. Joyce Dait received Defensive MVP honors. Debbie DeCeasare and Dail were also named to the MAC team for their efforts. The team also had an Academic AllAmerican in Sue Dicton. Debbie Marquart was also honored for her contribution for the past four years to the team. The team loses seven players to graduation: Ki m Cooper, Marquart, Dait, DeCeasare, Dicton , Donna Vasquez and Jane Zeller. Men's Basketball by Ray Ott The 1987-88 men's basketball team suffered through a difficult campaign finishing 6-10 in the Middle Atlantic Con- ference's Northeast division and overall. Coach Ron Rainey's team had a 64 record in home games but had their problems on the road finishing 3- 9-14 enthusiasm. 11. The team played well enough to win more_ games than what the 9-7-3 record shows. Many games were decided by just one goal. Now that the freshman have some experience in NCAA play the team should be promising in the future. Next year the team will look for leadership from Sean Loclchead. Andy R~ner and Chris Nebel. The teaQl was led by 'senior captains Jeff Steeber, Scott Jacoby and sophomore Jim Nolan. Steeber, a second team MAC performer, led the team in rebounding with a 9.3 average and steals with 45. He also scored 18.6 points a game. Jacoby's contrjbutioos can be best measured by his on-court leadership and experience. His Cross-country The cross-country team acquired a new coach for the 1987 season in Tom McGuire . This year's team was a young squad with potential for next season. Linda Siberini the only work ethic and determination were steadying influences on the underclassmen. In Nolan the Colonels had one of the most feared offensive players in the conference. He led the team in scoring, pouring in 22.9 points a game and shot 78.4 percent from the free throw line. One of the biggest highlights for the team was playing Lehigh University, a division one school who made the NCAA tournament and was led by two possible NBA draft picks in Darren Queenan and Mike Poloha. Another big moment for the Colonels was the team's January 27 73-65 victory over cross-town rival, King's College. Memorable individual performances included Steeber scoring his 1000th point and Nolan going over 500 points for the season. Next year's team returns eight of this ten players. The front court will be shored up by the team's new captain, Ken Chakon, and center Lou Freeman. The back court will be directed by Nolan and Dave Argentati, who led the squad in three-point field goals this past season. Freshman Steve Tate, Bruce Lambert. Rob Cella, and Ray Ott will be counted on to contribute if the hoopsters are to be successful in the 1988-89 campaign. Despite losing two irreplaceable players in Steeber and Jacoby, Rainey and assistant Coach Dave Martin will try to build upon the returning nucleus with a good crop of recruits to make Wilkes' new gym the place to see winning basketball next year. Wrestling by Bill Kem A strong team unity paved the way to a 21-1 record and a National ranking in 1987-88. The highlights of this past season were the victories over Lehigh and Army. The victory over Lehigh was the fust in ten years for the Colonels. The Army match also held importance because the victory vaulted Wilkes into the top 20 ranking poll. There were two wrestlers who made the 1987-88 season even more exc1ung: Dennis Mejias and Craig Rome. Both seniors will be missed greatly • next year. Their accomplishments speak for themselves. Mejias is the ooly wrestler in Wilkes history to be a four-time Eastern place winner. He is also the only Wilkes wrestler to make three appearances at Nationals. Mejias tied the record for dual meet pins with 21 and will probably go down as one of the most exciting wrestlers in Wilkes history. Rome was a two-time Eastern champ and · two time National qualifier. He was a mainstay for the past four years, holding the record for most dual meet wins (70), most dual matches (76), and he has won over 100 matches at Wilkes. He finished in the top five of alltime winners at Wilkes. This year was also historical as Coach John Reese became only the fourth coach to reach the 400 victory made. Next year should be another exciting year for Colcnel fans with four retuming Eastern place winners: Ron Miller, Steve Schannauer, Frank Goldowski, and Mike Schroai.. The winning ways for Wilkes wrestling should continue next season. Women' Basketball by Lisa Miller The 1987-88 women's basketball team was comprised of mainly freshmen. Coach Jodi Kest had only two returning players in her co-captains Melissa Kennedy and Diana Smith. The freshmen that came out this year showed a lot of potential for success. Newcomer Angie Miller showed a lot of promise in her play this past season. At the annual Letterwomen's award banquet Miller received the Offensi ve Player of the Year award. Nicole Kovaleski started off slow but came on strong in the middle half. She was sidelined in the end because of tom ligaments in her ankle. Kelly Ruff, Lisa Burak, Amy Melusky, Michelle Toth, JoAnne McDonald, and Janene Kasarda all made significant contributions to the team. Junior Kennedy's outstanding play once again led the team in several categories, but it was her defense that helped the team the most. She was named Defensive MVP for the season. Kennedy will be next year's captain. With ooe season under their belts as a team look for the Lady Colonels to sparkle next season. Women's Tennis by Lisa Miller Under the guidance of Coach Jodi Kest this year's women's tennis team improved immensly. For the first time . in several years the team came out Oil the winning side. The team was led by number one singles player Chris Creegan. Each match Creegan goes out and . plays the other team's number one player and is very successful. As of this point Creegan is undefeated.

Mike Kolbicka launched a ball over the right the plate and knocked the ball over the right-center field fence. But the Colonels were not done yet as number three baner Rob Pietnyk hit a monster of a homerun that sailed over the 400 foot mark in centerfield to give the Colonels a 3-0 lead.

A large portion of the crowd at the First Presbyterian Church consisted of college students. Instead of seeing a figure adorned in an ornate religious robe who talked as if at a great distance from his audience, the crowd met a man dressed in a simple suit who talked directly with them on a personal level. Gumbleton currently serves as the President of Pax Christi, USA, the American Chapter of the International Peace movement which is strongly endorsed by Pope John Paul II. He is also one of five bishops responsible 'for the authorship of the U.S. ' Catholic Bishops' recent peace pastoral letter, "The Challenge of Peace: God's Promise and Our Response," which has stirred much controversy and discussion not only among Christian churches but in the secular political and economic order as well. r Bisho Gumbleton spoke on "Disarming the heart." The auxilliary bishop said ee e h ti Lori eary. Lady ho gave four hits 0 ry about. He was told to teach young men that it was their duty to go to war. Priests in Detroit who took stands against war were arrested and jailed. The Bishop ordered young Gumbleton to talk some of these men out of an "embarrassing situation." Gumbleton said, "By the time I left, I was ready to join them." During the Vietnam War, when people began to question their involvement in war, Gumbleton said he reviewed his early theology. He said he found that just-war theology said, "If you can't know enough about war, don't go." Gumbleton mentioned that extraordinary people like Archbishop Oscar Romero of El Salvador, assasinated by government forces in 1980, and Martin Luther King were two men who stood behind their convictions and were murdered for them. He said that even though Romero said, "I have often been threatened by death, but as a Christian I do not believe in death without resurrection. As a shepherd, I am obliged to give [my life] for those I love -- to those who are going to murder Continued on p.5 alse alarm sounded at CPA aryw cond, h dr le G that he has become convinced, as he has journeyed on the path of non-violence, that the method of conversion to peaceful living happens within the spirit and heart -- not just through a matter of intellectual reasoning. He related a sermon of a Lutheran pastor who was imprisoned in a concentration camp during World War IL The pastor saw a fellow prisoner being hanged and became deeply angered and upset. He wanted to see his persecutors suffer for what they were doing. After dwelling on the event further the pastor asked himself, , "What if Jesus had thought such a thought when hanging on the cross?" As a result of his introspection, the pastor learned to love the same people who were persecuting him. Gumbleton said that when he was young, his three brothers were drafted into the war. Even though his parents didn't want to see their sons go off to war, and his brothers didn't want to leave, Gumbleton said that no one would think to question the government about the draft. During this time, he had been taught that war was something a priest shouldn't wor- of sirens emergency vehicles internight classes last Thursnd 9 pm.

Campbell, whose office the main alarm panel is located in, then had to be called at his home to come to the college to open the door. Chief William Milz of the Wilkes-Barre Fire Department said that when the firemen arrived, they had to go back to the driveway to the left of the building by the annunciator's office to wait for a key. He said "Watchman should have a key for that office. If there was a real emergency, · firemen would have had to break doors down to enter the building."

So is the academic basis for future Wilkes College students. At a recent faculty meeting, The Core Review Committee presented the faculty with an overview of the proposed core curriculum. This new curriculum does retain some of the features of the "old" core, but there have been some significant changes suggested, some of which may very well threaten the academic atmosphere here instead of strngthening it There are changes throughout the entire makeup of the core, but the changes that should most concern us are seen in the section of the proposed core that delineates the distribution requirements; that is, how many credits students are expected to take from the variety of disciplines. Briefly, the core proposes that students would be expected to take courses in areas entitled "Culture and Value," "The Scientific World," "Creative and Artistic Expression," and "Society and Human Behavior." Not so much of a change from the present core, except that they slapped fancy labels on it, right? Not exactly. Then how does this differ from the current core? The units under Culture and Value include History, Philosophy and Foreign Language. Basically students are expected to take fewer credits in each of these disciplines. Instead of having to take History 101 and 102, students have to take only one history course to fulfill their core requirement The same goes for philosophy. The only addition this section makes is that of a foreign language. Students, under the proJM>sed core, would have to take one course in a foreign language or one course that studies a foreign culture. As far as sciences go, the new core proposes that students take three courses in any of the science fields, but they may not, to fulfill their requtrements, take any two in the same field. Again, no continuation of the sequence is urged. "Creative Expression," the same thing--students have to only take one English course after 101 and 102, instead of the 151 and 152 World Literature sequences they must take now. Although there may be some logic in this change--that is, that students will be able to get an introduction into a wider variety of courses and disciplines--it leaves out one major point. The introduction will be only the most basic of introductions. Sure, students will be taking more disciplines, but they will never really get the insight into a discipline that one can get from taking a sequence. By essentially paring down the sequences students have to take, the College is paring down the student's usable knowledge. Sure, it's great that a student can get introduced to many different kinds of knowledge, but if that student is left hanging academically, then what is the sense? The argument here is that students will be urged to follow up on the sequences in their free electives. This may be so, but how can students determine what their interests are unless they are given more than an eight-week introduction? There is a bright spot in this new proposed core: the requirements for incoming freshmen seem to be more stringent than they have been in the past In addition to four years of Engliah, three years of math, and a year of history, students would be expected to have two years of science, two years of a foreign language, and an introduction to computers. Although certainly this proposed core gives students a wider variety of courses they can take to fulfill their requirements, it ignores one thing--the students' overall academic health. Sure, many students know after one course that they hate what they're doing, but perhaps that is only a first reaction. U a student 1s urged to go on in a field, even if he has to take that second course, perhaps he will have change of heart, or at least he will be better prepared to say that he doesn't like it. In any case, a sequence gives the student a reasonable chance to learn all that he can. He can appreciate and begin to understand a discipline--the main goal of education. To require only one course in a sequence may be fostering more of a "take a course to get it over attitude" than many may be considering. The most logical suggestion: don't change a thing. Or if changes need to be made--such as the ·foreign language requirement-then make them on a small scale. The present core serves its purpose well: it does .g ive students a glimpse into a wide variety of disciplines. The present core does foster an appreciation and an understanding of a variety of disciplines The propsed core may only be living up to half of that bargain.

But I ran out of Cap'n Crunch today, and the creative juices just won't flow without it. So I'm just going to start my column. No flowery introduction.

So I throw the sheets off my weary body, grab the crispy paperback and start to read. My eyes slowly close, and I don't comprehend everything I read, but it's got to be done. Does everyone feel this way, or am I the only one who . always has school on their mind almost every single hour of the day? What is due tomorrow? If I have too much tonight, what can I blow off? My friends and I were discussing which is more difficult holding a full-time job or being a full-time college student. In my opinion it is the latter. When a person has a full-time job, he or she can leave it at 5 o'clock. He or she physically and emotionally leaves it with no homework to worry about, no exams to study for, and the knowledge that the work they face each day is familiar. College students receive new things to study and learn about 2 or 3 times a day. This is exhausting for the very reason that they · bring it home with them. If college ended when the bells rang, the people walking around would probably be healthier looking. Constant worrying certainly must peanut butter and jelly .,sandwich in my room, so I can finish reading 65 pages for English class.

I went to college with a new attitude about school; I decided to become a studious college student However, this is absolutely ridiculous!

The book is .based largely on his research at Wilkes on the comparison of voting systems using mathematical modeling and computer · simulation. Merrill said, "The book evaluates voting procedures for. elections with three or more candidates. When more than two candidates run under the present !System , no one, not even the .winner, may get the majority. This is all too clear iJ:i the :current presidential primaries in which 30 percent or less is often 'enough to win.

Both annual programs are sponsored by the Pennsylvania Academy of Science. Students who attend the conference submit research papers on the topic of their choice and present them to other students and professors. While high school students are judged on their papers and recieve merits for them, college students present the results of extensive lab work and are not judged. This year's college convention was held from Friday, April 15, to Sunday, April 17, at the Seven Springs Mountain Resort in Champion, PA. Over 100 papers in many different areas of science including biology, chem- istry, geology and psychology, were presented by students and faculty from nearly 50 colleges in the state. Wilkes had seven representativcs, the most from any college. Dr. Ken Klemow, biology professor and Wilkes coordinator of the event, sai\:f that the event is important because it shows how much research is being done by the students and professors at Wilkes. Dr. Lester Turoczi, biology department chairman, was invited to present a paper called "The Expectations and Boundarics of Human Gene Therapy" as part of an opening symposium on biology ethics. The other six papers by Wilkes representatives were: "Annual Growth Decline in Red Spruce in Northeastern Pennsylvania," ~ by Jo Anne Oliver and Kennneth Klcmow; "Plant Communities of the Tubs Natural Area, Luzerne County Pennsylvania," by Klemow; "Seed Production and Early Seedling Survival in Echium Vulgare" by Darcy Broody and Klemow; "Comparative Oral Morphology of a Few Representative Salamanders" by Dr. David Long, biology teacher; the program "Distribution, New Records and Notes on the Land Planarian Rhynchodemus Sylvaticus (Leidy) in America (Platy-helmimhes: Turbellaria) " by Robert Ogren, Wilkes biology professor emeritus, and Julian Darlington, of Memphis, Tennessee and "Lead in Sediments of Lake Nuangola, Luzerne County, Penna." by Charles Reif, Wilkes College past chairman and biology professor emeritus. off sprLn«J and. summer rnerchand.i,se uth Main Stre lkes-Barre, PA al( wLthWilfws student 'L. n·. Hours: Daily 10-5:30 Thursday 10-8:30 ,. 823-1050 · everyone starts the process of registation. With summer in the air everyone is eager to go through the selection list and pick their classes. This is not always as easy as it seems. There seems to be a shortage of space in the classrooms and a less than adequate amount of professors. With registration being such a hassle, many students and professors are becoming annoyed. If there is such an overflow of students registering for these classes then why doesn't the College put some of our tuition toward our education and hire more professors and expand the more demanded classes? I feel that we are here to gt our education, and with the amount of tuition " we pay (still on the increase) we should at least be able to take the classes we want. Another proplem with the classes being closed is the fact that it takes up everyone's time. Not only are the students forced to wander back and forth to their advisor's office several times, but it also consumes our advisor's time. Instead of ignoring this problem I think the College should start to take action, and put some time and effort into the scheduling. This is our future that is being taken lightly, and I think since we are willing to invest our time and money we should be taken seriously and so should our demands.

There are 80 commuter parking spaces which make up the lots of Gore, Pickering and Temple. We receive approximately 200 applications each semester for permits. Normally we will issue about 120 permits, historically this amount of overrun keeps the lots full making most efficient use of space. The 1987-88 year was the worst in recent history. Flagrant disregard for rules, people without permits and dorm students using commuter lots has made controlling the lots very difficult. For the 1988-89 academic year, C.C. is proposing a solution to the parking problem. First and foremost is the need for the strictest enforcement of rules, this means immediate towing of illegally parked cars. C.C. has been talking with Wilkes Securityrying to develop a strong yet fair position on this issue. We also feel that by making Gore a "free for all" we would be able to serve more people. · We would continue to issue specific permits for Temple and Pickering to ensure places for those who truly need a parking space as well as a certain percentage of the average person. The "free for all" lot will work like this: after the applications have been examined and Pickering and Temple are filled, a different colored sticker would be issued to the rest of the applicants, for Gore. This way, everyone who applies has at least a chance for a parking place. 1. Should Gore become a "free for all?"- - - - - - - - - 2. How should security treat illegally parked cars?_ _ __ 3.

With the halt of classes and exams comes, sadly enough, the final show of the year for the Programming Board. It has been quite a memorable year, and an equally fine one for the Board. But as that great philosopher Yogi Berra said, "It ain't over 'ti! it's over," and, "It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings." Well, Barry Drake ain't fat and he ain't no lady, but he is the last solo-concert performer of the 1987-88 season. So, it is over when Barry Drake sings. The day of Barry's second performance on Wilkes' campus will be a very busy one but an rven more entertaining one. . ~artier in the day will be the annual IRHC (Inter-Residence Hall Council) Block Party. Then, before Drake comes on, Tim Webster and Tom Barlow, Wilkes students, will open the show. The show begins at 8:00pm and will be the final installation of the Saturday night SUBset. The fact that Drake is making his second stop at Wilkes shouldn't shock anyone. As a matter of fact, Drake has visited an astonishing 338 different schools in 35 states. Also, . in a majority of those schools, he returned for a second . . . third . . . and, in one case, eleventh show. The best test of a performer's success is being asked to perform back at a college year after year. Drake's return date record is over 90% and the best in the business. Drake is no stranger to success. He was nominated for the NACA (National Association for Campus Activities) College Coffeehouse Entertainer of the Year six years in a row, 1983-88. He was also nominated for NACA Entertainer of the year five years in row, 1984-88. Drake is also a ten-year member of NACA; only 17 associate members are. Drake presently has three albums out. The first is called "Happylanding." This album was recorded on Capitol records, which makes him a rarity because he is a performer who has recorded on a major label and still concentrates on -- and prefers -- the college market. His next two albums, "Roadsongs" and "Solo Survivor," were both released on his own record label, Catskill Mountain Records. Aside from the many solo shows he has done over his long career, Drake has appeared in concert wi th s?me of _th e best. - Some of these mclude Jim Croce, Van Morrison, Living:;ton Taylor (remember him?), Emmylou Harris (Emmylou performs one of Drake's songs), David Bromberg, Michael Johnson, and Loudon Wainright III (some of you may remember Wainright from his few appearances on M*A*S*H as Capt. Spaulding, the singing officer who sang such memorable tunes as "Oh Tokyo" and "Big Mac."). These are just some of the folks he's performed with in 35 states and Europe for 16 years. Here is what some fellow students had to say about Drake and his performances. "Highly recommendable is an understatement . . . Fabulously magnificent is more like it!" said Margaret Wolfensberger of the University of Richmond. "No matter which way Barry Drake chooses to perform his songs, they all result in excellence!" said Julie Onderak, Entertainment Editor, The Stoutonia University of Wisconsin / Stout. And finally, Jackie Benton, a staff writer of The Ranger, San Antonio College said, "Drake said that he wants to keep playing his music forever . . . For those who appreciate guitar playing, sensitive lyrics and outstanding vocals, forever might not be long enough!"

On Thursday, April 14, the Programming Board held their first "Day of Programming" to recruit new members. The exhibit, part of a public relations campaign headed by Kim Evans, . (Programming Board publicity chairperson), Leigh Sottile, and Fran Matso, consisted of several video screen presentations as well as several tape decks. Here, students were ·afforded the chance to voice their opinions about possibilities for next semester. During the exhibit, all av- . enues of programming were on full display for the students. The Board exhibited some of its large collection of tapes, literature, posters and other paraphernalia. In addition, they distributed pens and keychains with the Programming Board logo on them in an effort to make the Board's image recognizable on campus. One main objective of the exhibit was to get student input for next year's acts. A movie list allowed students to choose, firsthand, the movies that might appear next year. (The results of that poll appear below.) Opportunities were given to respond to any one of the approximately fifty music cassettes available. Perhaps the most important aspect of the exhibit was the effort by the Board to recruit new members. The day yielded sixteen new members, with an interest in all five areas of Programming: Film, Publicity, MiniConcert, Solo-Concert, and Novelty. These members will be im portant in the future of the Programming · Board, as three committee chairpeople will be . . .. .. ... graduating this year. The movies chosen in the poll were: , FULL METAL JACKET GOOD MORNIN'G VIETNAM TIIREE MEN AND A BABY STANDBY ME WITCHES OF EASTWICK WALL STREET THE UNTOUCHABLES BROADCAST NEWS MOONSTRUCK & FATAL AITRACTION (The list was compiled by the 116 polls filled out by students at the exhibit and is subject to change).

From the second half kickoff to the final whistle, WilkesBarre was in control. With some good passing and strong scrum play, the Breakers kept ESU off the scoreboard for the rest of the day. Minutes after the start of the second half, Wilkes-Barre's Nick Matiolli took the ball down to the left sideline for about 50 meters and then shuffled it off to Martin O'Connor for the score. The conversion kick was no good and ESU still led by 10-8. After •mixing tough defenses with key ball handling the Breakers were ready for another score. Andy Harris jumped on a loose ESU ball near their own Last Saturday, in weather which made it seem like January, the Wilkes-Barre Breakers traveled to East Stroudsburg to play rugby. The Breakers brought home their first victory of the season with a score of 18-10. East Stroudsburg jumped out to a quick 10-0 lead early in ,he game when they capitalized on two Breaker miscues. The Breakers finally settled down near the end of the first half and Wilkes' own Steve Bardsley picked up a loose ball and rambled about ten meters into the try zone for the score.

Going into last Saturdaay's double-header with Elizabethtown the Wilkes baseball team felt the time was right to knock-off the perenial MAC power. Why not, the Colonels had their ace, Tom Salzberg on the mound, and they were riding the momentum of winning five out of their last six games. The first game was a pitchers dual between Elizabethtown's Matt Aylard and Salzberg. Both pit chers were brilliant, but it was Aylard who made the tough pitches when it counted as Elizabethtown won the first game 3-1. The Colonels didn't have much luck in game one, in the top of the first Elizabethtowns' Mike Gore was apparently out on a foul pop, but the ball was dropped and Gore was given new life. He took advantage of the second opportunity given him at the plate, he sent a Salzberg pitch over the right-field fence giving Elizabethtown a 1-0 lead Wilkes came back to tie the game at one, as Nelson Cantor, who had two of the Colonels four hits in the first game, was balked home by Aylard. The sixth inning was a nightmare for the Colonel's. Mark Clark started the inning with a lazy pop fly to right that was misjudged by Cantor and Clark ended up on second base. Clark scored on a sacrifice fly away Y au stui l d som stud/ " John Kepics awaits the throw at first base. when pinch-hitter Brad Hassington hit a rocket to deep center field, but thanks to an outstanding catch by centerfielder Ken Chakon, Clark was kept off the bases.

So far at she has completely relied on the scholarship money. Judy's next .goal is to win Miss Pennsylvania, and after that she would like to try for Miss America. The past two winners of the Miss Pennsylvania .contest were each a former Miss Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton. She will have to compete against 22 other winners of area pageants for the title of Miss Pennsylvania. The winner of Miss Pennsylvania receives $15,000 scholarship money. That is exactly what Judy is working for. Judy had never been to a pageant before that, and she didn't expect to win the crown. She felt the competition was difficult because all the other girls involved were more experienced. The crowd thought that her performance was wonderful. She sang Whitney Houston's song, "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?" She has been working very hard on her ability to perform, and the hard work will continue until she enters the Miss Pennsylvania competition on June 11 in Al- toona. The preparation has been and will continue to be difficult for Judy. She has already given up chocolate for 5 months, and has been working out by lifting weights. "I found it certainly keeps me busy," she said. When asked if she had anything to say to Wilkes College students about winning, she said, "A beauty pageant is an illusion. People think it is all a big 'head trip' that builds a person's ego, but most of us are there for that scholarship money. The scholarship money is the biggest goal I have set for myself."

Galbraith, 80, served as deputy administrator of the Office of Price Administration in the early 1940s and was a principle figure in organizing the wartime system of price control, which he headed until 1943. He later held other public offices and was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Harry S. Truman. Galbraith traced major economic movements through history. "If we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it," he said. He began with the issue of slavery -- a social, economic and religious problem of our early capitalistic society - and continued up to the problems of unemployment and inflation in the 80s. .

As a wide range of pro- �April 14, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their 2ame Editorial Faculty involvement vital Enrollment, the bell tower and Joolcor This week's issue of The Beacon features a short question and answer section in which faculty members were asked to respond to how they felt they were treated by "the boss" (i.e. the administrators) here at Wilkes. This section brings out a valid point: many times the views of the faculty here are not taken into consideration, or their views are never voiced because of the fear of political retribution. Yes, there are faculty meetings, and the Faculty Grievance Committee, and the committee process in general. Certainly individual faculty members can talk to the President or other administators privately, but overall, faculty participation in the operation of the College is severely limited. Some would argue that faculty members are here only to teach. How the school is managed should not concern them. Is there any validity to this statement? True, not all faculty members are trained in adminstrative skills. Admimstrators are trained to manage, and with this management comes a certain amount of responsibility and power. It is when the power that administrators are given becomes concentrated, and they are unwilling to distribute that power evenly, that problems arise. In this case, faculty are refused a voice in issues that directly affect them, such as merit pay, the hiring of adjunct professors, and university status. These are issues that it is not only sensible to give faculty members a chance to address, but necessary. After all, just as ali faculty members are not aware of the intricacies of management, administrators are not the authority on instructing students or the autthority on the best interest of the faculty. It would seem that abuse of power has become a problem at Wilkes. The most notable way in which the administrators are taking advantage of this power is in the clandestine manipulation of faculty members. Ideally, a faculty member should be assured that if he expresses a view that "clashes with that of the administrative view that there will be no retaliation, either direct or indirect, against his actions. Judging from the hedging answers The Beacon has received on touchy issues, and the reluctance of many faculty members to go on the record with information, this retaliation is a very real threat. Although the President assures the faculty that their _views can be heard, there are administrative pressures that prevent faculty from speaking their minds. If a faculty member has a grievance against a policy change the College is making he is, in fact, taking a risk in speaking out. If the faculty member is untenured the risk is obvious--he can jepordize his opportunity for tenure by stepping on the wrong toes. For tenured members of the community the risk is less obvious. The powers that be have to work harder to make their dissatisfaction known. This can take any of a variety of forms: refusing orders for goods, giving the faculty member a too heavy, too light or not challenging enough work load, cancelling (by covert means) classes a faculty member is teaching. In any case, a faculty member stands to lose from speaking his mind. The question that remains is not how the faculty can get the administrators to listen, although this is important. The real question is how to get the administration to share their power with the faculty in those areas that require faculty input. The answer is complicated by the fact that the adminstration seems to give the faculty little more than "window-dressing" input. In the face of administrative stonewalling, the solution to this problem must originate from the faculty. The Beacon proposes a three-point solution. First, the faculty must organize to present a strong, unified front. The administration would be more receptive to a larger, more cohesive group than they would to small, fragmented factions. Seco_nd, the group must negotiate with the administration for the nght to participate in college policy making. In affairs that dir~ctly affect the academic atmosphere of the College or the faculty m general, the faculty should be an integral part of management, not just a corollary to that management. And finally, the faculty has to insure the safety of its members. Any faculty member should have the right to express. opinions that oppose administrative policy without fear of retribution, perhaps through a set of enforceable guidelines. Political strongarming is unethical, and does not promote a healthy cooperation between members of the administration and faculty. It makes sense for members of the faculty to be involved in the management of the school when it directly involves them. But this involvement can only be achieved through a cooperation between the faculty and administration. Once this cooperation is ac hieved, it will not only generate a more effectively fuunctioning institution, but will generate the kind of attitude that is vital to the fulfillment of Wilkes' communal goals. by M. E. Evers Wilkes? Don't ask silly questions. The College always says it expected enrollment to increase next year. It didn't specify enrollment of humans .

Intelligence was measured by who was in power and in terms of the government then in control. After encountering so much bureaucracy, Galbraith said that he began to notice something happening in certain industries - people were beginning to resemble the products they manufactured. Remedies have been as painful as the disease of stagflation itself. Galbraith said that cutting the budget weakened the basic industry, caused farm disaster. higher unemployment rates and a heavy international trade deficit. Although he said he did not befieve that there is any magic in monetary policy, he was not against cutting the budget where necessary . This would apply to programs involving technological advancements but not Lo many social programs. He said even if the national budget is reduced, minorities lik~ the elderly, farmers and minimum wage workers should be protected. Galbraith was hopeful for the future of the US economy. He paralleled last year's stock market 'Crash to the crash of 1929. Although there were some rough years following the crash, he said, the market trading did A pilgrimage to reverse the Arms Race improve. He said that since we have social programs available and a good banking system not present in the 20s, recovery from the latest crash should be easier. When asked what presidential candidate he would support, he replied that, as a rule, he always supported friends and that Gov. Michael Dukakis was ·a friend from his home state of Massachusetts. Galbraith's visit was organized by the Jewish Community Center of Wyoming Valley, in cooperation with King's College, College Misericordia, Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia and Wilkes College. Representives of Wilkes at the student question and answer period at the news conference held prior to the lecture were: Anne Humphrey, West Pittston; David Tevet, Kingston; Nagwa Taylor, Kingston; John J.

But , was that enough? People need to make a statement about peace, and college students are planning a two-week peace walk to reverse the direction of the Arms Race. This walk will be aiming to halt the progress of nuclear testing. The march will go through many east coast c1 ties. the east coast being the most densly populated part of the country. By marching, the peace message will be brought to the thousands of people who will be encoun-tered, as well as those who will later read about the walk. Petitions will be given to Congressmen along the way to urge them to demand legislation to slow the arms race. Workshops and presentations will be pro-vided to educate those involved about the arms race. There are two phases of the walk: New York to Philadelphia, May 23 to May 29, and Philadelphia to Washington, May 29 to June 5. One has the option of walking in one phase or both phases. The walk is sponsored by many peace groups and religious groups on the east coast. On the national level, it is supported by United Campuses to Prevent Nuclear War. This is the fifth annual pilgrimage. It will begin Monday, May 23, at the United Na-lions in NYC, and seven days later the walkers will arrive at Indepen-dence Hall, Philadelphia. The final phase will end in Washington. A fifteen minute VHS video cassette of previous peace walks, or a set of 105 slides with a 12 minute audio tape, are also available. The deadline for registration is April 30. Food and indoor lodging are available every day. The average daily distance covered is 12 miles. For fur-ther information about the peace walk or a registration form, contact Andy Morrell in the Programming Board office, 3rd floor of the SUB, or call x2925.

So often the voice of the teacher goes unheard, so I thought it was time to change that. All names are withheld to remove any fears which · may cause teachers to alter genuine answers. Here's what tliey said: "The administration seems not to care about the desires or opinions of the faculty. Faculty are told that we have input into various decisions, but, actually, we have none. The administration is riot nearly so aggressive in improving the abysmal salaries and horrendously inadequate benefits of Wilkes faculty members." "It's about the same as at other schools. Now, state schools are a different story. There have been substantial improvements in the past year." "My impression is that they are fairly sensitive to the faculty needs." "I'm only part-time, so I don't have to deal with them too much." "I never feel treated by the administration, I deal with them. I'm an equal partner in the operation of the school. " "The word I would use is CHEAP. We arc treated like we are cheap, like the peripheral part of the college." "I chink I'm treated pretty well for a part-time teacher." "I can only speak for myself, and I would say that we are treated with great respect by both the administration and the students -- it doesn't pay very well, but we get treated like kingl Our resources are limited. There are all kinds of things that aren't right, but Wilkes is a good employer." "I think we could get more credit where credit is due. We don't get the nice pat on the back that we should get at times." "It's tough for me to answer, I'd better pass." "Badly. This past week an administrator fired the chairman of the education department. The chairman of the education department has been chairman for many years. The administrator has been at Wilkes for four months. Clearly, if the administration does not like what a teacher is doing, they will retaliate." "Salary-wise, Wilkes falls below the national average. But there is a lot more to teaching than economics, such as adequate facilities, class size and equipment. We try to keep class sizes small, but equipment and facilities are not what they should be." �P~ 'EFOUR April 14, 1988 • to give address on peace Want Ads: Bishop The Beacon seeks talented individuals with wntmg skills to fill editorial positions of Editor-in-Chief, News Editor, Feature Editor, Sports Editor, Copy Editor, Photography Editor, Advertising Mana~ec and Business Manager.

Students Against Multipl Sclerosis (SAMS): A personal interview by Dominick Bair, Brian Nalesnik, and Dave Serino Imagine waking up in the morning to face a day of pain and hardship. This is what Doug Quinn has to deal with. Doug is fighting against multiple sclerosis. Doug has had the first symptoms of this crippling disease since the summer of 1967. His hand became numb; similar to the feeling of hitting your crazy bone. He finally visited a doctor after he lost the use of his hand. Doug was very unaware of this disease and his first reaction was, "Give me the medicine and I'll get better." But even today there is no cure. Now, after twenty years of adjusting to a different lifestyle, Doug thinks "Why me?" Doug is currently a fourthyear student at Scranton University studying health and human services. He is also doing a §credit internship at the multiple sclerosis Society located in Wilkes-Barre. What motivates Doug is "not wanting to give up." He says, "So much has to be done in life, but I realize that I cannot do the things I used to." Doug no longer plays tennis or golf, he must now play chess. "I must not change the intensity, but I must change the direction of life." Doug realizes that multiple sclerosis is an individual disease which affects each person who has it differently. Doug feels very optimistic that the multiple sclerosis research will eventually find a cure. Doug pushes to the limit every day; joys "helping someooe then I do not feel Doug is &onfident that cure will be found, but hopes that the public is the crippling disease.

They watched a van and a car full of clean, Well-fed college students unload in front of a neglected four story structure. The students stood on a street filled with rubbish in front of the grafitti-covered building which they would inhabit during their spring break. They knew they had a great deal of work to do, so they took a deep breath of New York air and entered the building. The sight and odor inside the building were worse than on the street and some of the students gasped. The grafitti did not stop outside the building; it somehow got past the deadbolted steel doors, and made it's way onto the walls and ceiling of the foyer. The students climbed to the third floor wh~re they would work and sleep for the week. This was it; this was the l1oor used as a shelter to house home- le~"S people, and this was the reason they were here. The students all chose to spend their spring break in New York renovating the Trinity Shelter. They each felt that they would be doing something to help fellow human beings, although most of them weren't sure what that something was. They were doing actual hands-on work, but that wasn't all. By doing something small like fixing up a shelter, they were doing something big -- they were showing that they care about fellow hum ans bei11gs. Five students from Wilkes College, two students from King's College, and eight students from Kent .State University attended the event. Also in attendance were Tony Vento, Interfaith liaison to Wilkes College, and Pat Duhon, Campus Minister at the Newman Center for Kent State University, who organized the event with Ch::trlie McGarry and Christoph Lingg, two men who supervise the shelter. Upon arrival at the shelter, students were given some time to adjusting to their new surroundings. A few stood looking onto the street below through dirt-covered windows, and they were shocked to see drugs and money bei~g passed in sight of everyone on the street. Others explored the three rooms and bathroom of the shelter. The bathroom was a major concern for everyone there. On the first day in the shelter there was no running water. On Sunday, and throughout the rest of the week, there was only cold water, so those who did not want to stand in a rusty portable shower which only sprayed ice cold water had to do without. The three groups of college volunteers joined together for a group meeting. Names were exchanged and reasons for heiping the homeless were shared. It was an informal meeting, and afterwards the group went to an Indian restaurar t .for dinner. Sunday Wll$ a free day for all the volunteers. Everyone spent the day sigh:seeing in New York City.

That popular snob from the drama department. To ease the long wait, I bothered to ask her, by way of making conversation, what she had done over break. "Oh, naturally I went to Manhattan," she gushed. "That's nice," I said, staring at the floor indicator over the elevator door. Would the car never get back to ground floor? Natalie crooked her hair behind her ear and kept talking. "Had lunch with Madonna, saw 'Hairspray' with Mink Stole and did dinner with Leslie Gore who is planning a comeback album!" Natalie told me. "That's nice," I offered. I had stayed home and steam-andvac'd the carpets. "Then," Natalie continued, "I got taken to "Into the Woods" for Bernadette Peters final performance and sat right in front of Steven Sondheim." Natalie searched my eyes for envy. The elevator finally arrived. "That's nice." I offered, searching my brain for something exciting that I had done, like lubing my recliner. "Next it was off to 'Tallulah'." Natalie went on breathlessly. "Did I tell you I know the guy that wrote it?" she asked me. Before I could answer Natalie continued, "Well, naturally he insisted on taking pie backstage to meet Helen Gallagher, the Star of that onewoman show. Couldn't have been sweeter, don't you think?" Natalie wanted to know. "The sweetest," I said. The elevator stopped at the second floor while nobody got on or off to interrupt the conversation. "Naturally we all went out to Charlie's for drinks," Natalie went on. · Helen was so supportive of my career here at Wilkes. Told me to look her up the simple minute I graduate. Isn't that special?" Natalie wanted to know. "That's special," I offered. The elevator stopped at the third floor and nobody got on or off. "Then Daddy picked me up in the Village and drove us to the Hamptons for a picnic at Davirl Lettermaa's. Everybody who is anybody was there," she tole me. I remembered that Veronica and I had had dinner at ChiChi 's, but I didn't mention it. The elevator finally got to the fourth floor. "What did you do?" Natalie finally condescended to ask me. She crooked her hair behind her other ear and assumed fifth position. "I changed the oil in my Honda, all by myself." ·1 offered. "That's sweet," Natalie said. The elevator doors finally opened on the fourth floor. She called "Toodles," and started running down the hall toward Earth Science. "I have to dash," she called over her shoulder. "I'm having lemonade with Chris Breiseth at 4:00." Suddenly I remembered. "Natalie," I shouted, "I forgot to tell you. Over b.-eak I sold my novel!" But she was gone. I ambled slowly toward the Math Department. "Oh well," I thought, staring through the glass window into the bleak math offices.

Clark is the editor-inchief of the The Billows, the Ocean City High Sc!-_c;ol newspaper, and an accomplished sports writer and columnist for the Ocean City Sentinal Ledger. Clark's main theme was "Social Concerns of the High School Student." He also commented on how to write crisp editorials; for this he brought a hand-out. Clark also took questions. The other seminar was geared toward the potential lawyer. These students were brought to yet a different recital hall also located in the CPA. The first speaker was Eugene Roth, a Wilkes alumnus and attomey at the firm of Rosenn, Jenkins and Greenwald. Roth spoke about the opportunities in the field of law. He mentioned how a lawyer isn't confined to just being an attorney. Following Roth was Goerge Waldner, vice-president of academic affairs. Waldner spoke about the pre-law program at Wilkes. Wilkes does not have pre-law as a major; instead, it has a council set up to advise students who would like to attend law school. The council is headed by Dr. John Natzke who is assisted by Dr. Barbara Jordan as advisors. The next person to speak was Rhonda Fahmy, a Wilkes graduate and first year law student at Georgetown University. Fahrny told of her experiences as a first year law student. Gemini- Happy Week!!! You deserved it; you got it. Capricorn- Calm yourself with the little things because this week you will be spending a lot of time on some big surprises.

Saturday night, a CPA audience of over one hundred people were treated to an evening of fabulous entertainment from the "Nightsounds" of Central City Nite Flite, and the comedy of Earl Reed. Central City Nite Flite, the opening act, primed the audience for the fast paced jabs of Reed. They played three tunes and left the audience wanting more. In fact, even Reed was complimentary. "If I ever guest host 'The Late Show', I'm gonna bring you guys on with me," · he pledged to the band and the crowd. Reed's humor was fast and furious as he went from item to item on his "list." He found the funniest things in every little piece of life he could find. A look at the first two minutes of his performance will confirm that. He went from wanting to "hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya"' to college ("I went to college, I can prove it; I can do that thing with the bottle cap!") to the women in Iowa (" 1 out of 3 women in Iowa are ugly, so look to the left and look to the right, if either of those people are beautiful, you're in trouble!") to why women pee in groups and finally to why they call bathrooms "restrooms" -- all this in a 119 N.

"It's a real sense of accomplishment _w e have after each show," said Andrew Morrell, the 1988 Board Chairman. "Everybody on the Board puts a lot of time into our work," he explained, "but we have a great time doing it." the members of the Programming Board have different reasons for their enthusiasm for the organ1zuon. Kim Evans, chairperson of the Board's publicity committee, enjoys meeting the many "up-and-coming" performers the Programming Board has brought to Wilkes. She said that Livingston Taylor was one of the most interesting performers she has met, along with comedian Wayne Cotter, · who has _. appeared on The David Letterman Show several times. Sandie Adams, on the other hand, simply enjoys being part of it all. "It has become something of a habit," she said, "once you are involved you can't seem to give it up." Arny Wiedemer, who supervises all Board activities, said she is proud of what the members of the organization have done for the Wilkes community. Unfortunately, many students at Wilkes are unaware of the Programming Board's function, and do not realize that membership is open to any students interested. Several members of the Board will be leaving in May due to graduation, and the organization is in need of new members to replace them. To help resolve this problem the Programming Board planned a special event to enable students to learn more about the Board. -----FLASH----PRESS RELEASE In a game marred by a benchclearing premature victory celebration, the Fabulous Footlong Hot Dogs with Kraut won for the first time in the two-year history of the franchise.

Although the Lady Colonels' softball team's record stands at 44, Coach Dave Martin says that the team could have easily been 7-1 had it not been for mistakes at crucial times. Excellent performances have been given by Jen Bodnar, Erika Oswald and Melissa Kennedy in these early games. If these early performances are any indication of the upcoming games, the rest of the season looks bright. The Lady Colonels' MAC record stands at 20. Their next game is on the read at Susquehanna for a doubleheader on Saturday. GAME ONE Wilkes 13 King's 1 Bodnar threw a three-hitter in the first game rout of King's. She had two strikeouts and one walk. Michelle Toth went 3 for 4 and drove in four runs, while Kennedy drove in three runs and Kelli Wandel had three hits. Losing pitcher for King's was Diane Ratchko, who, along with reliever Bonnie Overdorf, gave up ten hits and walked seven. GAME TWO King's 12 Wilkes 8 In the nightcap of the doubleheader, King's beat the Lady Colonels behind the hitting of Elyse Fetchko, who went 3 for 3. Oswald went 2 for 3 and hit a grand slam in the fourth, which proved to be Wilkes' big inning. At that point, the score was 8-3, with Wilkes in the lead. Bodnar showed that pitching is not her only talent by going 3 for 3, while Jill McGuire went 2 for 3. Losing pitcher for the Lady Colonels was Kim Skrepenak, who allowed eight runs and four hits in 4 213 mnmgs. Oswald relieved Skrepenak in the fifth. Winning pitcher for King's was Bonnie Overdorf, who allowed ten hits and struck out three.

From my vantage point, teaching a section of thenew History 101 course which has been totally redesigned by the deaprtment, I am excited by the response of students to the materials we have chosen to teach. The thought and writings of Plato, Aristotle, Confucius, Buddha, and Jesus deal with issues of ~lues and ethics that are immediately relevant to the lives of students.

With regard to public comments about the financial risks involved, I would report that the capital campaign is indeed ahead of its projections at this stage in the campaign, according to our Marts & Lundy consultants. The Board and staff committee working on the campaign under the leadership of Tom Hadzor is in high gear, and we have every reason to be optimistic about raising salaries and student financial Continued on p. 4 �April 7, 1988 PAGE1WO A pawn in their Editorial A college of our ambition Watching When I picked up the President's memo this week, I could only sit back and admrre the pretty phrases and glittering reassurances that he passed along to the Wilkes ·college ~?mmuni_~ - That is where the admiration ended. Throughout the memo, I searched for one defimuve dec1s1on, one open, frank, and honest declaration of what the future of Wilkes College looks like, or what might be in store for the College in the coming year. . What I found instead was merely a reiteration of what Breiseth !)as been saymg all along, although perhaps not always so directly: the image of Wilkes College is growing by leaps and bounds, and everything we do, every change we make, pushes us further and further up the ladder of success. The message is perhaps not quite so blatant as I have s_tated it, bu~ it is there_. It _is, ho_wever, cloaked in that sense of community that is supposed to bnng the entrre school m lme with the thoughts of the President. In the memo (which is reprinted on the front page) ' the Presid~nt "tackles" every major issue that may have been nagging you, nibbling at the back of your m~nd since September, and if you happen to make it through the four pages, you come away fe~lmg strangely unfulfilled. Rightfully so. This memo may ostensibly see~ to answer your questions. It is, in fact, nothing more than the President's reassurance--more to hlffiself than to any members of the College--about major issues. There are reassurances about rising enrollment, reassurances about the gym and its financing, reassurances about university status, reassurances about faculty salary, reassurances about the budget. We are reassured to death in lhis memo. The reassurance begins in full force with the main issues of this semester--the gym and university status. The gym/Sports and Conference Center is a perfect example. The Pres_ident writes, "I continue to believe that this building will provide a whole new sense of Wilkes, befitting the quality of human effort that has long been our legacy." And all this time you thought that all the new gym meant was a better place to play basketball and hold dances. No, no, the gym is going to give us a sense of ourselves as a college--a sense that "befits". us. Not only has the gym been touted as an important new building, but it has now been raised to a monument of our "collegeness." Something about this logic is faulty. And if this wonderful new building is going to give us a "whole new sense of Wilkes," why would we even consider changing our status from college to univeristy, another issue that the President manages to whitewash ·his way through during the course of the memo. Breiseth insinuates in an aside that Wilkes, if it does apply, would almost certainly be accepted for university status. Essentially, the President reduces the change to university status as a way to "convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both. the undergraduate and graduate levels." This in ar,d of itself isn't so hideous, but when the President continues on to write that the university status "would strengthen us to carry out this mission of service" we can almst believe that there is no other decent reason for changing the status except for that very same word status. Our "mission of service," whatever that ambiguous phrase may mean, is not going to be strengthened by a change in name, not unless this change in name _is preceded or followed by changes in the curricula, in the manner in which the College is run, and m the overall attitude here at the school. But all of this is elementary. The President wants the College to be a university. The President supported the construction of a bell tower; there was oppostion. The bell tower stands. The President wanted a gym; the community has been against it. The gym is under construction. Why should university status be any different? We can debate about the issue all we want. The point, as far as I am concerned, is moot. I suggest only that you read the memo for yourself. Read about the "major committrnent" the Board is making to enahance salaries for faculty . Read about the monumental decision that must be made as to university status. Read about the "sure-thing" financing for the gym . Read, quite briefly, about faculty merit raises (perhaps the best kept secret on campus). Then wait and see-will Wilkes College stop hiring ten adjuncts to every one full time professor? Will Wilkes College become Wilkes University? Will our professors still be evaluated by what is proving more and more to be a· faulty system? Will the gym ever have all of the promised features? Perhaps the line that sums the ludicrousness of the memo best is used in the context of bringing students to Wilkes from a broader geographical area: "This in tum will enhance our capacity to improve our physical plant and to provide the kind of salary and financial aid su~port that is crucial for a college of our ambition (my italics)." Throughout the memo, the President turns such phrases as "sense of Wilkes" "strong and vital Wilkes" "vibrant Wilkes" "struggle to defme Wilkes." The only thing the President has managed to define is what some of us knew all along: the essence of Wilkes College isn't any of the glowing generalities that are thrown so casually around campus. Ambition, mixed with just the tiniest bit of status and image, is what seems to drive the powers that be here, instead of genuine concern. It seems to me that the defining process--the self-study, if you will--is far from over. -m:bt 1.ftlta:con VOL.

Which is why this Tuesday, like every Tuesday, saw me wandering into The Beacon 's palatial abode on the third floor of the Student Center in search of someone with an idea for me.

"Here. Read this; no one else wants to. See what you can do with it. You might even find something to write about in it." I grabbed it excitedly and trotted off to my Macintosh.

In fact, the Williams bus line, which makes three runs daily, is the only rcliabk transportation service to and from Mountaintop aside from calling a taxi or getting a ride from a friend. Besides, few people feel comfortable using public transportation they want tht;ir own car. What's wrong with that? Nothing. But, when thousands of vehicles are jamming the streets and parking lots, parking becomes a definite problem. Now the city must admit it has a problem. Wilkes-Barre is in a bind. The city council, scorecwners and entertainment places want people to come to town to bring money into the city. People flock to places like the F.M. Kirby Center, Wilkes and Kings' Colleges, Boscov's and the Station in the "Valley with a Heart" seeking fun or education. When the large crowds finally come~ iate arrivers complain and grumble because they - always have trouble finding adequate parking nearby. Will ticketing all the improperly parked vehicles induce people to take more caution when parking their vehicles? In a convenience-oriented s0ciety where most people want to go, get what they want and leave, the city may be asking too much. Most of the same people who are ticketed over and over simply don't care if they get a ticket or not. No matter how many tickets are issued, there will still be illegal parkers because there just isn't enough room to park. As long as there are people, there will be problems. How will increased ticketing affect Wilkes? At a school like Wilkes, to which people travel from some distance for an education, there will always be some people who park wherever they can to run to lJ. 9 o'clock class. As more people are attracted to the college, more guests and need an English instructor or two, but it doesn't need an interpreter. Next, how do you feel about the phrase "a more and more vibrant Wilkes?" Makes me think of laundry detergent. Doesn't Tide promise more vibrant colors and whiter whites? Even though I think the College sometimes white-washes the truth, · I never thought they'd admit it as plainly as this! See if you can . find the problem in the next sample: "The excavation for the new Sports and Conference Center makes us realize that this long talked-about project is really underway." No shit. I thought the excavation was really a moon crater, and the vehicles were moon vehicles. Do you mean they started construction? I didn't realize until I read this memo. How unobservant of me. Page four of the memo boasts a veritable plethora of ugly usages. Did you know that Wilkes is a small- to medium- size university? Does that make Penn a "family size" university? Is Penn State a "giant size" university? What about Harvard? "Econo-buy?" (The laundry metaphors, you'll notice, are abundant in this l!lemo. I think I'm on to something here!) The President states that he finds a certain perspective on education "increasingly compelling." I find this statement increasingly confusing. Is it just me, or does it sound like he's comparing higher education to a Stephen King novel? What about the phrase "personally immersed in the issues of the reform of teaching"? Swimming pools you can be immersed in--personally or otherwise. Likewise bathtubs or vats of jello. But issues? Not unle:;s you're sitting in a mass of shredded memos on said issues. Finally, what are "disci;-:>linary majors"? Every time i tried to puzzle this out, I cou!c:. only come up with an im2<;,, either of a child being spt~ ·'·:,::d or of something out of a,~ .:i ..1 M flick. "Wanda Whips V:i'~:,::s," anyone? Th,,t's it. I'm sure I could find more if I read through it again, but I'm already laughing so hard I'm crying. And for thos~of201!....who think I'm just quibbling with language, think about this: the President states that his feeling " . . . has been that the change in title [from College to University] would strengthen us to carry out this mission oI service." So if three little extra letters can effect such a great change in Wilkes' ability to serve its students, doesn't it stand .to reason that these little "language abominations" can affect Wilkes' image drastically? So you see, I'm not quibbling. I'm helping the College polish its image. Really. But you'll have to excuse me; I've got to go.

While the issue is of symbolic importance and will have consequences now whichever way we decide, Dr. Kirlcwood urged us to resolve the issue one way or the other and get on with the self-study. He did not take a position on university status nor even hintat his advice on what we should do in that regard. He made these suggestions to a group of trustees and the generally favorable response to his presentation made me conclude that we had everything to gain in discussing this issue this spring and bridging any recommendation that comes out of these discussions to the May 12-13 Board meetings. That is the timetable we are now working on, and I have had extensive discussion with Bill Stine as well as with George Waldner and others of the administrative team to carry out the discussion over the next month and a half. . Let me be quite personal. I have been persuaded for some time that the advantages of making this change of status outweigh the disadvantages. As we struggle to convey the richness of the Wilkes curricula and the wide variety of options at both the undergraduate and graduate levels for students a Wilkes, my inclination has been to see what the word university in the context of Pennsylvania higher education would more effectively convey the Wilkes that actually exists than our present appellation of college. Moreover, in our role as a major institution of l:tigher education serving the Wyoming Valley and status becomes Northeastern Pennsylvania, the alternative.

There is no more honorable word in the lexicon of American higher learning education than "college."

And if it is the sense of our community that tins tradition is the one we are most strengthened by," I for one am ready to reconsider the change of status. if on the other hand we look at the breadth and comprehensiveness of our programs and feel that we are not only within the liberal arts tradition but also play the broader role of a small- to medium-size university, then I think the switch to university a:ssistel bf icba:t~ tbapliu piauo Ot~I Leaming ur-story bt College ca bombed b: terrorist by "a bunc Sunday rr Dorothy Ne told police hing for am when sneaking gh the 1 spect alleg( back entrar b)1 J)tttd, ~d. 7obtt 1tank ilrilft, Jtda:n~ attl o ilt tfJc •orotb1 Datu tcuut £of ticking rn then took ry whi known lcdotmittf ect,s J;all nt a Harl( 26, in th, .

By 1994, if the comprehensive, ongoing project proceeds as planned, the entire campus should be covered by concrett:, macadam, or asphalt. By getting rid of all grassy areas, as well as trees, shrubs, and flower beds, the cost of maintaining the grounds will be greatly reduced. Additional benefits to the College are severalfold. The college will no longer play host to insects such as bees and ladybugs, thereby reducing the risk of painful stings or bites to students. Additionally, students will be submerged in an atmos phere conducive to modem learning without the distraction of such staples of nature as plants and animals. Squirrel traps and high voltage bird zappers will keep these annoying pests from entering the concrete sanctity of the campus. The fishpond will be located in the empty lot between the belltower and South Street. It will measure 6 yards across at its greatest breadth, and will gently slope to 5 feet at its deepest point. The elliptical pool will be bordered by a broad stone walkway so that people may stroll around it's perimeter. Floodlights will be installed for the protection of those who wish to strcll at night. The pond will be stocked with vinyl , all- weather fish that are "attractive dean of student affairs.

I believe that both I've seen the light: Wilkes by M. E. Evers Yes, brothers and sisters! Yes, friends, family, and significant others! Yes, all de little chillun of Ge world! I have seen the light! I have seen the light and it -was revealed to me while I was reading a National Enquirer article about Jimmy Swaggart! And the light said to me, "M. E., M. E., repent your evil ways! Repent your evil thoughts about the belltqwer! Repent all the nasty things you've ever said about this beautiful institution in your column! Repent, and atone for your sins, and be SAVED!" "Oh, light," I said, "You've shown me the light and I believe in the light! But . . . what is the light? I mean, it looks a lot like an Eveready flashlight to me " "Silence, mere mortal! None of your flippancy! The light is the light of higher learning that burns brightly in all the hallowed halls of Wilkes College! This is the light whose existence you have denied! Believe in the light and repent, or perish in the everlasting flames of the particle accelerator in SLC!" I didn't need a second to think about that one: the light had already convinced me that I had been lost in the dark wood of error. "Oh light, how can I repent for my sins? I changed my mind; I was wrong; I really didn't mean all those ugly things I said about the College. Wilkes is a beautiful, beautiful place-with a veritable plethora of learning experiences for all! And the belltower is a wonderful architectural structure--a marvel of art and technology!" "Not bad," commented the light, "but that's easy to say," he continued. "What are you going to do about it? We here in the Church of the Everead-oops, I mean, Everbuming Torch of Intellectual Light and Personal Fulfillment· require that you show some proof of your conversion and dedication to the College before you can . become one of • the fishpond and the wishing well will have positive effects on Wilkes as an institution dedicated to higher learning." A source within the GreenAway group reported that several projects are already planned for the near future. Topping the list is the creation of much-needed parking space by constructing a multilevel parkade where the River Common now is. "The park, which is not very nice anyway, is a small sacrifice for such a wonderful structure as a bland, grey parkade," claims Honey C. Menn, chairperson of the GreenAway Committee. Another project in the works involves the creation of an Olympic sized hopscotch court between the SUB and the Evans alumni house. The athletic department jumped at the chance to initiate an intramural hopscotch league. "It's not just for kids anymore," said recentl)' hired director of fun and games, Maude-Lynn Shrowd. The group is split on how to use the land between the belltower and the library. One faction feels that a much-needed heliport could be put in. Opponents of this say that the heliport can be installed on the roof of Stark and that this area should be used to showcase a recently acquired work of art. An eight and a half-ton sculpture, carved from one huge lump of anthracite coal, by reknowned Wyoming Valley sculptor Ima Miner, is an "abstract representation of the birth of IS the faithful." "Oh, please, I'll do anything! Anything! Walk over hot coals! Stand in the top of the belltower when the chimes go off! Listen to tape-recordings of any speech the President ever made at any College function-over and over!" · I screamed wildly. "No, we've thought of something that will utilize your unique talents--not only showing us the strength of your conviction, but making good use of your talents, as well. . . we want you to write propag--oops, letters to prospective students telling them how valuabl~ you have found your experiences at Wilkes." "Yes, spirit, I'll do it! I'll do anything for the glory that is Wilkes and the grandeur that is the belltower! I just want to make up for all those evil things I said about the school! Never again! I will tum my column from the festering wound of annoyance it has become into a source of joy for all members of great! the Wilkes community! "And more than that, spirit!

His opponents are Emmanuel "Webster" Lewis and Gary "Whatchu talkin' 'bout?" Coleman, who still look eight years old. The film starts in Philadelphia where Rocky has been institutionalized at an old age home by his wife. This occurred after she asked him what he wanted for breakfast and he replied, "Yo Adrian, come sit on my plate." He ttien proceeded to punch her in a multitude of areas. So Rocky got wheeled into the institution and Adrian married Mr T. Soon afterwards, Adrian and Mr. T adopt Hays and Tays (played by Coleman and Lewis). They then proceed to challenge Rocky to a title bout with Mom and· Dad as their managers. Just before the big fight Rocky demands that the city of Philadelphia builds an access ramp for the famous stairs he climbs every film.

Wilkes has already been granted permission to move to Division I. With the players who have already requested a transfer to Wilkes it was the University's only move. Just this morning Head Basketball Coach Ron Rainey met with J.R. Reid former standout star for the University of North Carolina. Reid will be joining the Colonels basketball team in September. Several other standouts have also transferred to Wilkes. Joining the Wilkes basketball squad will be Sean Elliot (Arizona University), Jerome Lane (Pittsburgh) , and Mark Macon (Tenfple). The women's basketball team has also been inundated with numerous players. Reports from the athletic department are that many other top ·notch athletes have been turned away because of the overflow. The n·umber of basketball players, both male and female, has drastically increased since Wilkes' announcement of switching to Division I. Sources from inside the · athletic office say that the flood of athletes is directly related to the new Sports and Conference Center. "Ever since the new Sports and Conference Center has been built the request from athletes already attending major colleges and universities to transfer here has been phenomenal," said a source from within the athletic department who requested not to be identified. "Our only alternative was to request a switch to Division I. Now that has been granted we can go $ead and accept Reid's, Elliot's, Lane's, and Macon's transfer applications. Four · secretaries have been hired in the athletic office just to handle the phone calls from all the prospective athletic candictates. Attempts to contact Coach Rainey liave failed. Sources close to the coach report that he is still in shock over the events of the past weeks. Jodi Kest, the women's basketball team head coach, couldn't be reached because she is currently in Alabama at Auburn University meeting with Mae Ola Bolton.

He has also made TV and radio appearances, most notably his own show called "Earl Reed -- An Evening of Stand-up Comedy," on KNME-TV (PBS) Albuqueruque, NM. Besides comedy, Reed professes to be an expert in basketball, juggling, and improvisation. The Hartford Advocate says about Earl Reed that "he has a .dynamic, multi-faceted approach to comedy." The Sunday Post says, "Reed's act showed a good sense of timing, and he had a wide-eyed innocent look: mat worked well with his material." And J.T. Taylor, lead singer of Kool and the Gang, said, "Great act! Definitely an asset to our shows!" So sit back and be prepared for an unparalleled evening of comedy. Rumor has it that Reed did a three hour show -- one of the longest on record -- to a capacity crowd at Lehigh University. So, we might be in for a long, funny night. The only thing left to do is show up at 8:00 for the opening act -- Central City Nite Flite - then sit back and laugh with Earl Reed.
