Due to some l on how to run the election process, SG members are seeking student imput as to whether they should open elections to the entire student body or limit the process solely to seniors. The day after the Pep Rally, on the afternoon of Friday, October 23, SG members will journey across campus to judge the best donn and organizational Homecoming displays. Then from 6 p.m. Friday night until I a.m. on Saturday, Wilkes students may attend the annual Homecoming dinner/dance. Reisenweiver said SG will probably get a disc jockey to play music for the dance. On the big day--Saturday, October 24--the Wilkes football team will play the Homecoming game against Lebanon Valley at Ralston Field. The court will ride around the outside track before the game or during half-time. Then SG members will announce the new Homecoming King and Queen. Later that night, nationally known commedian Steve Landisburg will perform at the Kirby Center for the Performing Arts, at 8 p.m. Student discount tickets are available. SG has also been granting fund requests in addition to planning Homecoming Events. At last week's meeting SG granted a request of $230 to the cheerleaders, majorettes, and strutters to travel on a bus to the September 19 Albright football game. In other business, the Programming Board asked for $363.17 to travel to the NACA East Coast Regional Conference to be held in Lancaster this October. output. Additionally, throughout the year, the dry wall around the shower stalls will be replaced or repaired more efficiently. The walls in many of the bathrooms are damaged or falling apart, perhaps due to poor planning in the building's construction. Another change in Evans, as well as in Pickering, is the replacing of college security by student guards during the late night hours. The Residence Life Office is in charge of hiring and supervising these guards. "The change," says Allen, "allows for more comprehensive security of the campus by zone guards." Campus security is in · charge of making sure all the donns are secure but not patrolling the donns. The "major" change which happened in Evans this year is the conversion of the Health Science Offices on the fust floor to an apartment for the new associate director of housing, Leigh Major. Her presence in Evans is to provide adult influence and assistance to the north end of the campus. Major graduated from Wilkes with a degree in sociology and received her Master in Education from Springfield. She then served as director of residence life/assistant dean of student affairs at West Virginia Wesleyan College. "I really enjoyed going toWilkes," says Major. "The opportunity to return here was great." Her apartment is "great" and she is pleased with how she's been able to decorate it. Major secs a positive change occurring at Wilkes. She feels that both the college and its reputation will continue to grow. "I don't think the college has reduced its standards, "she said, "in fact, I understand that SAT's and class rank are up." Eventually she would like to become part of a dean staff. She enjoys working with students and taking a pro-active rather than reactive approach. "In other words," she explains, "work on a way of making things better, instead of waiting until something happens and fixing it." An immediate goal of hers is to increase the amount of events and programs that happen in the residence halls. She plans to work with the RAs to reach this goal.

Paul Adams, associate dean of academic affairs; iane Lampe-Groh, dean of academic affairs; Eugene Domzalski, Career Services; and Kristen Kolensky, senior class president, were speakers at the event.

What do you think of when you think of a college newspaper? Do you think of a medium that can help to communicate things to the students, faculty, and staff of a college to keep them better informed? Or do you think of a college newspaper as a publication run by the college, Lo communicate the information the administration wants when they want it run? Although the former should be the rule, the potential for a college publication to be construed as the latter is there. But even though a college newspaper isn't the New York Times, it could still have an impact on local media. The role of this college's paper has become more vital in view of Wilkes' ever-increasing concern with its image. This becomes particularly evident when one looks at two roadblocks The Beacon has encountered recently. The first is the Public Relations Policies printed in a recent issue of the Wilkes College Intercom. "So what?" you might say, "Every college has PR policies." But it is the undertones that accompany this particular set of policies that disturb me. The Intercom states, "To insure that the College speaks with a clear and consistent voice in the presentation of news ... it is imperative that all media contacts be cleared by the Public Relations off/ce . . . .The Director of Public Relations has final , approval authority." Although this may make perfect sense to the administrators of this College and is consistent with the College's renewed concern with image, it seems to me that this policy smacks slightly of Big Brother tactics. The statement, "... it is imperative that all media contacts be cleared by the Public Relations Office," implies that although members of the College community have every right to express their views about the College, they do not, however, have the right to see these views in print. The College, then, has the ability to screen media contacts and present only the best picture to the public. As far as image ·goes, the policy works. However, this kind of restriction of the flow of information from the College to the pubiic presents a distorted image of the school. Wilkes calls this a "consistent and unified image of the college." Yet there is a problem inherent in this policy: what would happen if a member of this community decided to go against these policies and release something that was not cleared by the PR office? Would this person, by exercising his constitutional rights, endanger his job or mar his record? What is perhaps most important is the effect that these policies may have on the flow of information from the College to the students. How will we, the students, be affected? Although none of the stories in The Beacon has to be cleared with the PR office or the College, in the past we have been asked not to run controversial stories or to wait to run such stories. In most cases we have opted to print these stories bec~use we feel that the students have the right to know what is going on around them. VOL.

All views expressed are those of the individual writer and not of the publication or the College. Names may be ithheld from letters to the editor, but all letters to the editor must be igned to insure validity. Perhaps what is even worse than these blatant attempts are the subtle runarounds we have been confronted with on certain stories. A fine example of these runarounds is the recent article on the belltower. Last year, The Beacon tried to report on the then unfinanced bell tower. Although we were led to believe we could get a story, we later found the people involved were unwilling to share information with us. This was understandable, since the project was very much up in the air at the time. This year, however, we began the year with a very basic story about the tower--a project not only confirmed, but one that could be begun at any moment. We went back to do an extensive follow-up, and although we were given some information, a source in Chase Hall "requested" that we withhold the information "until a later date." This seems quite senesless; most of the College community already knows about the bell tower. In fact, there seems to be quite a bit of clouded information that could easily be cleared up with a follow-up article. One would think that the College would be eager to keep its members informed about something as important as the bell tower. True, Public Relations itself did not ask us to withhold this story. But this episode does reflect the College's concern with its image. The administration apparently wishes to control the type and amount of information that reaches the College community and the community at large, and it seems to be exercising this control by making Public Relations the "heavy." Public Relations has a job to do; why must the College use that office as its censor? These policies are indicative of a much larger problem. The students pay tuition; they have every right to know what is going on; they have every right to know the truth, unclouded by slick phrases and administrative whitewash . Given the facts, students can make their own judgments about the quality of life here at Wilkes. The same can be said of the general public. Yes, we want public support--and contributions to the school. But at what cost? Is Wilkes willing to compromise the truth for a few bucks? I hope the answer is no. a~ the Dear Editor, After reading your edi the September 17th edition Beacon, I came to the c that fact-finding is not your point.

What do these phrases describe? This weekend's Programming Board Mini-Concert-Chip Mergott and the Stingers, of course. Mergott and the Stingers put on a' fantastic show: the music was great; the musicianship was, by at least one account, the best Wilkes has heard at any Programming Board ,event so far; and (if these weren't enough) the audience loved them. When the Stingers came out on stage for their encores, almost everyone in the audience ended up dancing in the aisles. What, you say, you did11't see the show? Well, don't worry, you're not alone. Most people on this campus didn't see that performance. Most people elected to stay home and watch Miami Vice, apparrently, for only about 30 people went to the Mergott concert. That's a shame. We students spend so much time complaining that there is so little to do around here that we often overlook the good things that happen at Wilkes. The Programming Board is one of these "good things."

It's a teachers' strike--a t on this country's sense of play, and compassionate humanity, where a handful of greedy, inconsiderate people ho!d as hostage thousands of trusting, innocent children and their future. This is not to mention the inconvenience to the parents, who become screaming maniacs calling everyone from their committee persons to the governor. This is what the strikers want. But let's go back to the innocents--the children. On September 2 15,000 teachers had already decided to strike, affecting 260,000 children in five states. As of September 8, the number rose to over 30,000 teachers, 570,000 students, and 22 states. "So what," you say; "Teachers rights," you scream. What about students' rights? When I was growing up, I believed teachers were angels who loved kids-- caring, understanding, and infinitely patient. After all, why else would they become teachers? Then I grew up--the Easter Bunny died, Santa caught pneumonia, and teachers went on strike. I'm now in college, hoping to become a (eacher, because I like to teach. I already know that it isn't what, but who you know, that gets you hired. But that doesn't bother me. Aptitude tests would soon get rid of the incompetent "cousin of the mayor."

In this area we have two school districts where contracts expired this year. Both responded in different ways. In Pittston Area 19,000 students resumed school on time and the Pittston Area Federation of Teachers signed new contracts, with a nice raise and increased insurance coverage for its members, without a strike. The other school system is in Throop. There the situation is entirely different. For over two weeks the students have been sitting home wiping dust off their brand new bookbags, while the people who are supposed to be teaching them are yelling words not allowed in school, calling the city fathers awful names, and threatening to beat up those nice people the city to hires to teach. As of today , September 22, there is no visible end to the strike. If and when school does open, and the teachers and the administration are the best of friends again, what would happen if the students learned their lessons well and went on strike? The students would demand that teachers must work without overtime or any other compensation to make up time lost due to the Slfike. After all, the students will h: there--and they don't get paid! WHEAT to sponsor banquet By Kim Klimek The Wilkes Hunger Education and Action Task Force (WHEAT), 1s coordinating a "Hunger Banquet" at 11 :00 a.m. on . Tuesday September 29. Approximately 100 Wilkes College administration, faculty and students are expected to attent the event, according to Tony Vento, campus minister. The R.S.V.P. to the invitations must be returned by Friday to Gladys DeLeon at ext. 118. Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long, assistant professor of history and political science; Dr. Michael Garr, associate professor of sociology and Vento originated the idea of creating a hunger force this summer at a related hunger discussion. They decided a hunger banquet would be a good way to start their campaign. Behuniak-Long says the event will be a learning experience about world hunger. The event was then approved by Vice-President of Academic Affairs Robert Heaman. There will be no cost to attend the event, but donations will be accepted. Behuniak-Long said that the money raised at the banquet will fund WHEAT acuv1t1es and possibly be used toward the Crop Walk, St. Vincent De Paul's Soup Kitchen, or the Commission o Economic Opportunity. Vento said that 21 students attended the last WHEAT meeting. He thinks there's a lot of interest in the new group and, hopefully, i world hunger.

There were speakers, displays, a mini-jet, balloons and an anniversary cake. It was the celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the U.S. Air Force. It was also Air Force Day in the city of Wilkes-Barre, as proclaimed by Mayor Thomas McLaughlin. Colonel David Billings spoke on the local history of the Air Force. He also commented on the mayoral proclamation of "Air Force Day." Then, a representative from active duty recruit, Master Sergeant (SSgt.) Beachack, spoke for another part of the area, thanking the Wyoming Valley for making the celebration of the 40th year cele- bration of the U.S. Air Force JX)SSible. Wilkes College ROTC Cadet Joseph Snell, conducted a ceremony for the release of 120 white, black, and red balloons in honor of the national POW (Prisoners of War)-MIA (Missing in Action) of Pennsylvania. According to Billing, each balloon carried a cadet's name and self-addressed card enclosed in a plastic bag. The individual who finds the balloon travelling the farthest distance and the cadet who sent the balloon will win a prize. After the balloon release, Air Force Sgt. Neno Sartini, a Vietnam veteran, spoke on behalf of the POW-MIAs. The fortieth anniversary cake was then cut and the Air Force personnel went home before a downpour of rain could dampen their spirits.

Paustian, Berg, and Darte all agreed that the Wilkes College staff and students are making good use of the system. Taking a look at the terminals, one can observe them in use. Darte said that although many students prefer using the computers, some still return to the standard cardcatalogue filing system after using the computers in order to doublecheck the accuracy of the new system. She added that many teachers and older students still prefer the old system. Although people won't run into as many inadvertantly related files as in the regular card catalogue, the library staff members feel these time saving devices will become the modern research tool.

Berg said the system "will allow us to have remote access. We can put terminals in every floor of the library--even Stark... " Berg also said the library plans to have circulation done on the on-line library catalogue. This will let the user know if a book is out, when a book is expected back, and when a new book will arrive. The idea of creating a computerized system has been around for at least three years, according to Robert Paustian, library director. It is one which has been used by many large city libraries. The idea was pushed through by the previous library director. Once the Pew foundation funded money for the job, it was only a matter of implementation.

Maybe it's a swimmer with seven gold medals around his neck, like Mark Spitz. How about an upstart ice-hockey team, like 1980s. It could even be the first time gold for a men's volleyball squad, like 1984s. As I've tried to illustrate, the textbook "Olympic hero" comes in all shapes and sizes. A good look at the heroes from the '84 Olympics proves just that. Those heroes ranged from giant size superheavy weight boxer, Tyrell Biggs to the pint sized gymnast, Mary Lou Retton. Situated in there somewhere, closer to Mary Lou than Tyrell, is triple medalist (1 Silver, 2 Gold) Peter Vidmar. As team captain, he lead the 1984 men's Olympic gymnastic team to the first ever all-around championship in this country's history. Vidmar's other gold came in individual competition in which he pulled off a perfect 10.00 to win the pommel horse. Peter won his silver in the most exciting, yet the most heartbreaking part of the competition.

I am sure the list could become quite lengthy. I fall into that catagory just as frequently as the next person. I found myself doing · it this weekend while on a retreat. While there, a friend, who works at a local college, asked me how it is to be a parttime, nontraditional student at Wilkes. Out of my mouth came a torrent of complaints. It was a di~tinct pleasure to articulate my many gripes and perceived injustices of the past year. Reflecting on my outburst, I am embarrassed. Why am I a student at Wilkes if I can complain but not compliment; and especially if I complain to those not connected to Wilkes who can offer me no redress? This experience provided the impetus for me to attempt to fairly evaluate how I perceive Wilkes College-its assets and liabilities. Wilkes College is modest in size and population. This can be advantageous, enabling smaller class size, more attention from • staff and faculty, and the opportunity to become acquainted with many people who attend or work at Wilkes. I would guess the location of Wilkes, in the midst of Wilkes-Barre, limits the size of the campus, but what convenience to walk one block and be downtown. Truly we are an integral part of the WilkesBarre community. There is no other campus locally that can boast of the many 19th century, stately homes which faculty, admin· istration and students. These gracious buildings were constructed in a time when pride and craftsmanship were of great value. These buildings caress my eyes every time I pass by them. My personal favorites arc Kirby and Weckesser. All staff, maintenance, food service, faculty, and administration, are friendly and helpful. I am especially grateful to Dr. Sue Behuniak-Long, Dr. Particia Heaman, and Dr. Stanley Gutin. Each one has made me feel welcome and an asset to the Wilkes community. Their availability to advise, assist, and listen have been beyond what I would have ever expected. The student body is the bulk of any college campus. I expected to be treated with skepticism as an "older" student. It has been a delightful surprise to be well-accepted as a normal person. I have made many new friends. One of the main reasons I chose to complete my education at Wilkes is because it is a liberal arts institution. I think it is a tremendous advantage that I am receiving a "well-rounded" educalion. It is important to reach around and pat ourselves on the back. However, a modicum of humility is advisable, leading to constant evaluation. Evaluation implies taking a critical look. Admittedly, all new students initially enrolling at Wilkes, or any college, feel lost and confused, wondering where the bookstore, library, student uni-· on, financial office, and classrooms are located. Traditional, full-time students have the advantage of orientation. This is not so for non-traditional students. I think I speak for many when I say I felt like an alien from another planet my first semester. I am not a shy person, afraid to ask questions, but I did not even know who to ask. Most help and advice came from other nontraditional students who had had similar experiences. Might we consider assigning a "mentor" to new in-coming non-traditional students? This mentor could show a new student the ropes in one or two days and remain "oncall" as needed. Non-traditional implies just that. We are often employed, wives, husbands, mothers, fathers, single parents, or community volunteers. Our lives most often are more complicated and demanding than traditional students. This prevents us from taking 12 or 15 credit hours; instead we attempt to manage sanely with 6 or 9 credits. Unfortunately this eliminates us from receiving academic achievement recognition. Can this issue be resolved? Perhaps part-timers could be recognized every 12, 15, or 18 credit hours for their achievements. The bread and butter of many colleges will continue to depend more and more on older students entering academic institutions. Can colleges afford to treat them as second-class people? The Eugene Shedden Farley Library is a comfortable, convenient facility, with a helpful, generous staff. I have been impressed with the varied services it provides, affording ease when doing research. However, frequently I have needed materials relating to women and women's issues. the paucity might cover these issues. concerned that people w a special interest in wo women's issues will ~ couraged and abandon ther to have women as adv' my major and minor. as excellent role models as I am sure they do flJ younger women on However, as I have over the past year, exce~ field of nursing, there is ious lack of women faculty, in administration, upper level manageme!C itions.c who might well role models for the wo presently comprise 49% students enrolled at Studies have been done out the need for role m women, particularly in traditional fields hereto! entered into by women.

The lecture was held last Thursday night at the Center for the Performing Arts. The lecture dealt largely with how the original colonists were represented in thier newborn government, and Prof. Baldino went into great detail on both John Locke'sandEdmundBurke's theories of representation. After speaking, Prof. Baldino fielded questions from a panel of randomly selected Wilks political science majors. Andre Miller, Elaine D'Elia, Walter Smith, Kathleen Bembrook and Walter Connor comprised the panel, and asked some thought provoking questions dealing with our government today. Kathleen Bembrook led off the questioning, asking what could ever be done about the vast lack of voting in our country. When Prof. Baldino stated that there was no simple solution for this problem, he was asked how this apathetic lack of voting effects people who hold office in Washington; "If citizens don't use thier votes, the people in Washington must surmise that they (the citizens) are happy with the way things are being run." he replied. The most inriguing point of the evening came when the panel inquired as to why people such as Mario Cuomo, Ted Kennedy and Bill Bradley, who many believe would make fine presidents, will not be running in the 1988 race. "They won't be running because they don't see any great glory in being the President." said Baldino. "Experts are predicting a recession in the not so far future, and none of these three men want to be labled as 'the President who brought the recession'. " Prof. Baldino attended the University of Illinois, where he recieved a Masters degree in Political Science. He continued his education at the University of Pennsylvania, where he recieved his Phd. He has been travelling throughout Pennsylvania, visiting colleges and spreading his knowledge of the Constitution's history; as well as giving college students the chance to tap his knowhow of our government today. Beacon at the movies Intense Fatal Attraction by John Gordon If you are in search of a suspense filled, intense filled, and fright filled flick, look no more; "Fatal Attraction" has arrived! You must be warned that once you take your seat you will not want to get up. So get your popcorn, candy, or soda before you .enter the theater of thrills. In "Fatal Attractions," Michael Douglas and Glenn Close tum in just might be the best performances of their acting careers. This is especially true in their violent encounters throughout the movie. In the film the two get involved in a steamy weekend love affair which supposedly has no strings attached. This is due to the fact that the character played by Douglas is married. At first the psychotic woman played by Close accepts the situation. However, as the film goes on we witness a hideous transformation in her character. She becomes frighteningly obsessive and violent, doing everything and anything to get Douglas to be hers. She constantly calls him at home disturbing his personal life with his wife and child. The end of this film is one of the most intense movie finales of all time. I will, however, give you this hint. The last seen takes place in a bathroom with a knife.

What If friend, Gary "Fabs" Fabiano, who ·vill be your host for the record review. Thanks, guys. The compilation "4 Bands That Could Change the World" present four bands that would probably be classified under the punk/hardcore musical influence. This compilation provides you with four bands with four different musical styles which I'm sure will fill one of your musical requirements. The songs present on the album show the progress and maturing within the band and within their style of playing music, which even includes some live tracks. I enjoyed this album thoroughly and I am sure you will find out that this is 100% hard rocking music which will get your body moving. If you would like to hear one of the bands, call up WCLH and request to hear one of the songs off the compilation, or just listen to the"Gary and Gregg Punk/Hardcore show" (It's on Thursday nights from 9:00 to 12:00) and we will spotlight one song from each band during the show.

Rowing on the Susquehanna River? Come on. Believe it or not, I 00 years ago the regatta held on our river was a big attraction and drew over 10,000 spectators. Sunday, September 6 that tradition returned to our area with the WilkesBarre 100 Years Regatta. The regatta, sponsored by the WilkesBarre Rowing Club (WBRC), attracts national caliber teams from as far away as Philadelphia and New York. National champion Carl Viola raced in the regatta and afterwards said that our course was one of the best on the East Coast and that he couldn't wait to come back. The course he spoke of is an 8 lane, 2000 meter course that runs from near the Pierce Street Bridge to the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center, right in front of Wilkes. Crew members from Drexel University said that the high dikes and relatively calm water make this an ideal place to row. They couldn't believe that Wilkes, a school rich in traditon, doesn't have a rowing team . Teams from the Philadelphia area travel miles to row on inferior rivers such as the Skuylkill, and we have an ideal river right on campus. So why doesn't Wilkes have a rowing team? This has been a question asked by both students and administration members alike in these past weeks. Wilkes, with cooperation from the Wilkes-Barre Rowing Club, is forming a rowing c.lub. The WBRC has been graciously helping Wilkes with their coaches, Linda Scott and Tom Young, and also with the use of their equipment. Every morning you can see Linda and Tom out on the water teaching a iew new Wilkes students the art of sculling. Wilkes College has showr.. much interest in this club and the sport itself. The faculty is represented by the new faculty advisor, Dr. Farooq, along with other faculty members. Thirty students attend the meetings and rowing practice. Also, from the administration, Dr. Nejib, Dean of the school of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Amy Weidemer, Director of Student Activities have shown interest. As you can see the support is coming from all directions and the club is growing daily. It is now in the process of purchasing more boats with money already raised by the club. The meetings are held every Tuesday in Stark Leaming Center room 166. No experience is necessary and everyone is encouraged to come. Not only are rowers needed, but also managers and people to work on the boats. This Saturday, September 26, the Wilkes College Rowing Club, along with the WBRC, is holding an open house picnic in Nesbitt Park (right across Market Street from Kirby Park). There will be rowing all day and the picnic festivities start at 4:00 p.m. Since this is Parent's Day at Wilkes stop by after or in between the planned activities and see what the club about.

TEMPLE ISRAEL CONGREGATION CORDIALLY INVITES STUDENTS TO weekend. Don't believe me? Remember Dave Binder? Bob Gamer? Chicago City Limits? Okay, you say, but that was last year. What about this year? Well, have you seen the pictures up around campus this week for Peter Vidmar's presentation this Friday? If you look, you'll notice that this, too, is a Programming-Board sponsored event. It seems that many people would rather stay home than take a risk on an unknown performer. After all, you might say, what if the concert were lousy? Well, if the show turned out to be boring, you wasted a whole hour and a half of your weekend. Not a lot of time, if you think about it. Better than watching Miami Vice reruns, anyway. But if you take a chance on that unknown, that performer you may never have heard of, you just might end up "discovering" someone as talented as Mergott. (You may even good time!)

Saturday, the Lady Colonels took their 1-1 record to Albright. After the loss at East Stroudsburg the stickers were determined to leave with a win. Albright scored early in the first half but that's all that the Lady Colonels defense would allow. They continually rejected all other attempts at scoring and fed the ball back to the offense. The defense was led by outstanding performances from Kim Cooper, Debbie DeCaesar, and Debbie Marquart. The offense, which dominated the majority of the game, was lead by Petrosky who scored in the first and second half of the game.

After last Thursday's tough loss to Messiah, the Colonels had to regroup and prepare themselves for their upcoming test against Division I, undefeated Virginia Tech. The Colonels knew that in order to contain the Virginia Tech attack, they would have to put forth a tremendous effort. The Colonels did jU"St that; both the offense and the defense played well when needed. The defense found themselves under considerable pressure throughout the game. Lenny Rosanoff rose to the occasion and recorded a fine performance, turning away 18 shots on goal. Sean Lockhead also had a pair of goal line saves as he aided in Rosanoffs defense. The Wilke's defense limited the Virginia Tech scoring un til late in the second half. The Colonels were determined to score, and with less than two minutes remaining in regulation.

Students have to face possible t in a local drug store to be protected against disease or to prevent unwanted pregnancies; they can purchase condoms on campus. Condoms are already available in the Health Services Office free of charge. The possibility of placing condoms in several of the new vending machines on campus has been discussed and is the subject of some controversy. A committee, chaired by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht, was formed to recommend what items would be made available for sale in these machines. The committee met for the first time Tuesday during activities period to make a recommendation to the President's Cabinet as to what it felt should go in the machines, but no decision was reached. The committee will meet again next Tuesday at 12 p.m. in SLC 361. If the committee recommends that condoms be put in the machines, the contraceptives may be made available in vending machines in Pickering Hall, in Evans Hall, in Miner Hall, and in the Student · Center. According to Jane LampeGroh, dean of student affairs, the condoms will be wrapped in a "very discreet package." Lampe-Groh believes that making condoms available for sale in vending machines may take away the embarassment usually associated with buying "protection." "Sex is a very private matter," she said.

These were probably words of comfort to all those concerned with the welfare of the school. The president, the Board of Trustees, and any one of a number of our administrators probably slept much easier after hearing that more students were enrolled at Wilkes than last year. After all, more students mean more money, and more money means more prestige for Wilkes. The number of students in and of itself adds a little prestige to the school, and definitely improves the school's image. After all, when you read that more people enrolled and were accepted at a school you are considering attending, doesn't that make a good impression? Doesn't that lead you to believe that Wilkes is such a good school that many people find the school worthy of attending? That's what I believed after a superficial examination of the facts. Enrollment is up. People want to come here, right? Then, just by chance, I happened to come across a copy of the Wilkes College application for admission. The application, although attractively displayed in the viewbook, amounts to nothing more than a mere regurgitation of vital statistics--your name, address, the major you wish to pursue, and some information about your parents. The application process is as simple as that. I've applied for credit cards that asked for more information than Wilkes asks for on its application. True, the application does request that a student's SAT score~ be sent to the College. Although this is a comforting thought, i1 states nowhere in the viewbook or the Bulletin what the minimum SAT score is. This leads me to believe that the SAT may mean very little to the College when it is considering an applicant fo1 admission. Granted, the SAT is not everything, and you cannot truly judge anyone on the basis of one test score. But, in addition the application does not even mention secondary school transcript: as a requirement for admission. Without that piece of valuable criteria, you may as well allow anyone who has the money to attend Wilkes College. In fact, if one looks at the application alone, one would be led to believe . that if you have the financial capacity to attend, the school will be willing to •overlook any possible lack of intellectual caoacitv to do so. This should not be the case. When considering a student for admission, the school has an obligation, to itself and to the students already attending the school, to look at the applicant's credentials, as well as to his ability to function in the environment the College wants to cultivate. If Wilkes' application is any indication, the school seems to want to maintain the student body at at least a fourth grade level. intelligently and to communicate effectively.

This time we will be hearing the caroling of bells as we stroll the campus grounds. For whom does the bell toll? Certainly not for the students who watch their dorms deteriorate with each passing year or for their classmates who leave school because they can no longer afford the tuition. When I first heard about the .proposed bell tower, I questioned the funding for the project. While I was upset to find out that Dr. Bums had donated the money specifically for the building of the tower, I was somewhat quieted knowing that it was not being paid for by the stu- A pawn in their 2ame Sure, it's pretty-but -w hat does it do? by M.

Now I am to understand from reading The Beacon that "Dr. Bums was approached with the idea of the bell tower by the college," and not the half-truth that we were told. According to Paul O'Hop, this project is supposed to bring "a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness" to the college, but in reality it is creating confusion · among the students, because the money can be put to better use. What about offering more scholarships to bring quality students to Wilkes in order to raise our academic standards, better research and laboratory facilities for academic growth, or anything that would affect the students more directly than a bell tower.

Present at the signing of the proclamation were representatives of the U.S. Air Force Recruiters, U.S. Reservists, and Air Force ROTC. Air Force Day is intended to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of the United States Air Force. According to the proclamation, the Air Force and its components "offer significant economic, social, and leadership benefits to young - people of northeastern Pennsylvania who seek responsibility and challenge." According to Captain Karl H. Zimmennan of the Wilkes College Air Force ROTC program, a special Air Force information booth will be placed on Public Square on Friday. Also on public display will be an Air Force mini-jet, and an Air Force birthday cake will be served. During the celebration there will be a POW (Prisoner of War)MlA (Missing in Action) Balloon Release in honor of the 120 POWMIAs from Pennsylvania.

According to Jane Lampe-Groh, dean of student affairs, the wooden pole was donated to the College last week in the Arnaud C. Marts courtyard by a visiting young actress. Lampe-Groh said Chikae Ishikawa, the Japanese actress and member of "The Society of Prayer for World Peace," appeared in the play "Stop the World - I Want to Get Off' at the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts Building in Wilkes-Barre. While visiting Wilkes-Barre this summer, Ishikawa decided to extend the message of peace to this community by acquiring a peace pole through "The Peace Pole Project," based in East Jordan, Michigan. The pole arrived in the latter part of August with the peace message. inscribed in four languages. According to Lampe-Groh and Paul Adams, associate dean of student affairs, the four languages on the pole are English, Polish, Hebrew and Arabic. English was chosen be.cause it is the native language in this area, Polish was chosen because of the large local Reservations are currently being Hotel. accepted for a three-day trip to On Saturday, the tour group will Boston, sponsored by the Sordoni visit the Robert Klein Photography Art Gallery of Wilkes College and Gallery in Boston's Back Bay. scheduled for Friday, October 30 Klein, a Kingston native and through Sunday, November 1.

Within the past year, Wilkes has made use of the "Young Scholars Program" which permits area students in the top 10% of their class to take courses at Wilkes that fit into their schedules . According to Vinovrski, this too gives Willces the chance to recruit more students . The admissions department · also contacts alumni who have succeeded in their careers. These alumni use information gathered by the admissions department about how each department wants their program represented. Help has also come from the Public Relations (P.R.)

"We're continuing to work on the image of Willces locally and out of the area. It is a matter of knowing where students have come from and experimenting with those areas." Vinovrski said that the most gratifying aspect of the whole year is the amount of incoming students. He said a substantial part is freshmen. By i:emaining in close contact with students, a type of bond is established. Instead of feeling like one in a number of faces, the admissions office tries to make the students feel more at home. He said, "In the first two weeks, I have not heard anything else than that they're really happy and we knew them really well.

Sure, having our first oncampus Programming Board MiniConcert since Elektra recording stars, The Sharks, graced us last year is big, but more 'importantly, it is really ' a big day for Chip Mergott and the Stingers. This is the first show backing their brand new album, "Roomful of Noise," recorded on Notebook records. The Stingers, made up of Mergott (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Dan Caruso (bass), Jimmy Garebo (drums), Jack Morror (guitar), and Stanky Brown band refugee John Korba (keyboards), are out of the PlainfieldWachtung area of New Jersey. The band has been playing together for four years but this is their first The plumber, philosophy, and the kitchen sink by Marsha Howes My life as a non-traditional student in college is often augmented by experiences beyond the classroom. Ideally, I would choose my days to be ones of attending classes, engaging in intellectual discourse; sharing ideas with my college friends; and writing daily with no interruptions. Reality intrudes - recently it was in the guise of a water faucet which broke in mid-shower, preventing me from finishing my morning bathing . After turning off the water for the entire house, I opened the telephone book to the yellow pages and picked Jeremiah Dunkerll' , plumber. I had never heard of this man - there was no rhyme or reason to my choice of this particular plumber. On the agr~-upon day ~Dunker arrived in a typical truck, the back covered with a camper-type top. He was an odd-looking man and I began to doubt my method of selecting a plumber. He was tall, but slightly stooped, arms and legs a bit askew, and he walked-with a hop-limp. Topping his head was hair that appeared to escape all methods of combing and brushing, giving Mr. Dunker the look of a wild man. He wore Ben Franklin half glasses and was missing one bottom front tooth.

With "Roomfu l of Noise" the Stingers have become, as Mergott put ·it in a phone interview, "a performing unit." The former Lafayette student has a special feeling for the Pennsylvania music fans. He spent part of the summer playing here in Pennsylvania and he was accepted with open arms. To that he said "Thank you to the music fans of Pennsylvania. I received a warm welcome during the summer and that made me feel good." Mergott likes the college crowd. He says that there are no unpleasant crowds. "Colleges step outside the norm," he said. "It takes a little investment by the listener to get into it (the music). College students will make that invest- ment," Mergott said.

J �, PAGE EIGI-IT September 17, 1987 A different perspective Confessions of a dinosaur by Bill Barber Let's face it, I'm probably one of the oldest undergraduates at Wilkes. Although this has caused me some embarrassment at times (like walking into class on the first day and having the students suddenly jump to attention) I am, after all is said, glad to be back. Being a dinosaur does have its disadvantages. My long tail keeps getting caught in the library doors. Sometimes I feel like I'm too big for the little desks, too old to flirt with a pretty co-ed, and too tired to even think of going to a college dance, but I'm adjusting. Other than the occassional whisper: "What's he doing here?"-- things have been improving. Now, it is not true that I was one of Agamemnon's cabin boys. Nor did I ever have lunch with Bill Shakespeare. But it is true that when I was your age the world was a different place indeed. Viet Nam, the Beetles, protests, hippies, drugs. Things your parents probably talk about. It was a different time. Not better. Not worse. Just very different. The catch phrase then was "tum on, tune in, and drop out." I did. I turned on. I tuned in. And, unfortunately, I dropped out. Life was a fantastic merry-go- · round then, and I was one of the smugest little creatures in the jungle. I read Hopkins and Nietzsche before I was twenty, so I figured I was as smart as I could be. Degree? Who me?? In a few short years I went from driving my Dad's convertible to driving a dirty taxi before I realized how important having that college degree would be in the real world. Maybe now that I'm a regular Tyrannosaurus Rex, I'll finally get it straightened out. Okay. Okay. Before I start breathing fire at you, let me say that I'm glad for all of it. Living is still the best way to get through life. Do it. Risk it. But face· the consequences. One of those consequences for me has been to finally come back to college to finish the degree I have abandoned at least five times over the past twenty years. It isn't easy, and I'd love to be twenty, but this will have to do, I find that the older I get the more I know how much I don't know and how eager I am to learn. Like Astronomy! I've looked through telescopes before. Twenty years ago I looked through a telescope at the North Star, and I laughed and asked the girl beside me for a date. This time I looked at the North Star and I said: "O my God ! There really IS a universe out there! " I guess what I'm trying to say is: stick with it. Get that degree! Unless you want to end up like I did last year, the only Pterodactyl in Psych 101! I mean, it's embarrassing and a little uncomfortable when your tail gets caught in the library doors. Get your diploma first and then go taste and see the · world with CS-115 behind you. There were just too many years I crawled through the tropics thiaj<ing I was so *%#$@ smart, but wishing I had that little piece of paper on my palm tree. That's ail. Nuf said. I just needed to get this off my scaly chest. Seek knowledge for its own sake, yes. But do everything you can to graduate first. Oh, and one more thing. Be very, very happy.

As good as comedy may be for Ray Owen, it is not his true strong point. The music he plays is his performance strong point. He boasts a repertoire of over 700 songs. Of these songs most are serious cover songs. The rest are original, borrowed, or spoofed. He did coffeehouse favorites by such artists as James Taylor, Ario Guthrie, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Kenny Rogers, and The Beatles. He also did mock-ups of Julio and Willie ("To all the Girls I Camped With Before") and Johnny Cash and Pete Townshend ("Pinball Wizard"). Of course, he mixed the best of both worlds by singing original funny songs. He sang about "vegematics," "yuppies," "TV evangelists," "hot tubs," two alcohol songs--The Pickering Song and "If You Drink Don't Park, Accidents Cause People"-- "Rednecks," and relatives--"I'm My Own Grandpa." Ray Owen kept the crowd in tune with him the entire two hours that he performed. If the crowd was any indication, Ray's coming performances at Catholic U., Susquehanna U. and Delaware Valley U. will be equal smashes. More important than being a fine, talented performer, Ray Owen was friendly and never talked down to the audience, which is sometimes common of very · talented stage personalities. So, from the bottom of my heart, thanks to the Programming Board for bringing us Ray Owen.

"We want to represent the college the best we can and have a good time doing it." "I'm not concerned about what kind of record the team will compile this season. The main thing is to get the program started," he stated. "This year will be a good . teaching and learning experience for most of the kids. There are some experienced players on the team but many of the girls don't have a lot of experience. The main thing this season is to teach the fundamentals and gain experience." Coach Jacowicz is very enthusiastic about the team and hopes to be able to follow the nine game schedule. "I'd hate to have to cancel any games," Jacowicz said. The team opened its season Wedensday against the University of Scranton after a shaky start. It was not definite until Monday afternoon that the team would even exist but due to the dedication of the players and Coach Jacowicz the team was able to start its season. The next home game will be Tuesday, October 6 at 4 p.m. against SUNY Binghamton. Good luck wishes go out to Coach Jacowicz and the players for a successful season. Any one interested in joining the team can attend a practice at 4:15 in Kirby Park next to the tennis courts (not the Wilkes courts) or contact Coach Wingert at the Athletic Department.

The day began on a dreary note, but as the Colonels took the field, spirits started to shine. In the first half the lady stickers showed patience as they applied constant pressure toward the goal. Kelly Wandel scored the season's first goal with an assist from Joyce Dait. Wandel let the Cougars know that she was a force to be reckoned with as she added another goal near the end of the first half. Sue Dicton was credited with the assist.

In his first start of the season, Lenny Rosanoff was instrumental as he made several key saves in the goal. The · scoring was initiated by John Pursell as he ripped a penalty kick into the net early in the first half. The Colonel's scoring attack was silent during the remainder of the half. An agressive play by Mike Linczycki resulted · in an early second half goal. Linczycki spent most of the game chasing the Delaware Valley defense. Unfortunately for the Del. Val. defense, Lenczycki capitalized on an errant defensive distribution. Lenczycki intercepted the pass and zoomed by the defense for the Colonels second goal of the game. The third goal of the game was the strangest. Matt Ryan, who was pushing up from his position as sweeper, was the target man for a Wilkes restart in the offensive third of the field. The kick was taken, as designed, and Ryan was in perfect positon to head the ball. Ryan directed the ball toward the goalmouth with a header. The ball was headed rather high by Ryan and completely fooled the opposing goal keeper.

Theresa Ayers also shined with 9 aces. Linda Strataface had five of the team's seven blocks. "Our senior setters, Theresa (Ayers) and Carolyn (Ciccarino), are doing a terrific job," said Coach Saracino. "The setter has a hard job; it is just like being the quarterback." The Lady Colonel's ~ecord now stands at 5-3. The defense also played a major role in Saturday's victory. They continually fed the ball to their offensive line which proved to be very frustrating to the Cougar offense. The strikers allowed very few shots on goal and were not afraid to get down and dirty to prove who was in charge. Excellent defensive performances were given by Kim Cooper, Debbie Decesare, Dawn Smith, and Jane Zeller. Each week the coaches and captains will give recognition to a hockey player who exhibits outstanding skill and dedication on the field. This week's special recogn1uon goes to Susan Barr. Barr did an outstanding job taking over the newly opened position of goalie. Saturday's shutout is a prime example of her dedication to the team and sport. Congratulations Susan. The lady stickers will take their 1-0 record on the road Thursday when they play at East Stroudsburg and again on Saturday at Albright. The Lady Colonels would like to express their appreciation to all those who braved the rain to support the team.

Trivia '87 'R RRR RRR RR RR u u, AR, RR RR RR AR RR RR,,. by Lee Morrell Well folks, it took a phone call to my home, waking me out of a sound slumber, but we did come out with a winner for our abbreviated version of "TRIVIA '87." The gentleman who dashed my dream of Pulitzer Prize excellence was the one and only Brain "Brian" Dorsey. Brain correctly told us that the head coach who had the impressive 10 year record of 103-32-7 with the Raiders was the one and only John "Less Filling--Tastes Great" Madden. For his extreme intelligence, Brain will receive an all expense paid trip to anywhere $5.00 will take him. Or he could take his prize in its monetary form. On to bigger and better things, i.e. TRIVIA! The gridiron is burning up and the diamond is sparkling. For the first time in a very . long time Pitt won while cross-state rival Penn State lost--lN THE SAME WEEKEND. So, with football and baseball co-existing in a symbiotic universe we will center our questions on both. OUESTION#l The 1973 Oakland A's went to -and won- the World Series. Who was the rookie second sacker, who went on to bigger and better things in the late 70's and early 80's on a National League squad?

It came from the the Wilkes College Colonels who buckled up thei chinstraps when it counted to achieve a hard fought 3028 victory over Cortland State. There were many geroes in Saturday's game; but it was a team effort that won it for the Colonels. At the beginning of the game it looked like the Colonels would have no trouble with the Red Dragons. Behind the running of Courtney McFarlane and Dean Ambosie the Colonels took the opening kickoff and drove the ball straight down the field. Then on a third down, quarterback Carl Deluca hooked up with wide receiver Ron Ulitchney for a thirty yard touchdown pass.

Wilkes put together a pounding drive with a good running of the week Harriers look for fast start by Tom Urso The cross country team has several new faces this year, including Coach Tom McGuire. McGuire is a 198.5 Wilkes graduate and a former member of the team. Joining McGuire on the coaching staff for the harriers is Assistant Coach Mike Keohane. Other newcome~s are freshmen Paul Miorelli, Tom Devine, and•sophomore Jon Kline. Last year's returning squad consists of junior Doug Lane, senior Pete Huber, and senior Captain Tom Urso. This past Saturday the team traveled to Fort Indiantown Gap to challenge the rain and murl in the Lebanon Valley Invitational. With Urso on the injured list Lane lead the Colonels followed by Mionelli, Kline, Huber, and Device.

The two point conversion 1failed and the Colonels were back on top 13-7. Cortland came right back with another scoring drive. But this time the Colonel defense stiffened; it took a naked bootleg on fourth and goal for the Red Dragons to hit paydirt. The PAT was good and Cortland was ahead for the first time, 14-13. With less than two minutes left Wilkes went to its two minute offense. And with only seconds remaining Meagly's 52 yard field goal attempt was short, and Cortland went into the locker room with a one point lead. Cortland took the second half kickoff and looked like it was going to pad its lead. The Wilkes defense had other ideas; a hard hit caused the Red Dragon running back to fumble and Mike Canterella fell on the loose pigskin. On the following play Ambosie went 70 yards to give the Colonels a 19-14 lead. Deluca then hit Mike Harrison for the two point conversion to give the Colonels a 21-14 lead.

Waldner said he plans to arrive at Wilkes in mid-October and will begin his duties after Fall Break. "I am looking forward to being part of Wilkes," he said, adding that he was "positively impressed" with the College at the time of his interview. He added, ''I'm interested in the concept of the institution." Waldner said that he's preparing for his new position by "doing a lot of reading about Wilkes." He explained that President Christopher Bresiseth and Robert Beaman, acting vice president for academic affairs, have been sending him material on Wilkes, induding the mission statement. Prc~ident Christopher Breiseth E, p . -·----------· said that of the four candidates interviewed from over 100 applicants, Waldner was the "most articulate" and "fit our current situation best." This current situation, Breiseth explained, involves Wilkes' continuing efforts to reform both the core curriculum and the governance system. Breiseth explained that 'Waldner "is doing at Oglethorpe what we are trying to do here-revising the core curriculum a:1ct marketing the institution." Waldner's family will mo•;e ro Wilkes-Barre after Christmas. The Waldner family will live on campus in a rented house near Doane Hall on West River Street. One of his reasons for relocating, Waldner said, was the College's location. "I love it here," said Waldner, who was lx>m in Philadelphia. "I feel more at home here." ut with the old • the new Ill with sure that at one time or while walking down South Street, the average Wilkes student has caught a this institution's maj.um.

On July 22 of this year; the Board unanimously voted in favor of the construction of the new . Center. And now, with the problems of zoning and planning out of the way, "the plans are moving along smoothly. Ground breaking is scheduled for January 1, with the expected completion date tentatively scheduled for December 24, 1988." Since the construction of the center is a major step forward for the reputation of the college, the building did not only have to be functional, but modem and state-ofthe-art as well. The gym has to not only meet the needs of present Wilkes students but must meet the needs of future students as well. The center will have three floors, replacing the "old gym's" single level. Ideally, the Center will not merely be a place to go to see basketball games or to put in your four semesters of phys ed, but a place where recreation for pleasure, as much as for obligation, is vital. The lower level will consist of practice rooms and will be mainly for physical education purposes. The rooms may also be used for dances and social functions . The first floor will be the conference center, offices, and the gymnasium. The second floor will also house conference ~nd seminar facilities. This will enable Wilkes College to "put its best foot forward to the public," and make the gymnasium not just part of the college, but part of the community as well. With the revitalization of the building O'Hop stressed that there would be other changes as well. "The phys ed program ·will be · completely revitalized with the construction of the Center, and it will also provide students with the best possible facili'lies and environment." Because the old gym will have to be demolished in order to make way for construction, alternate facilities must be found to accomodate the needs of the college for the year that the construction is underway. O'Hop says no definite arrangements have been made, but the college is negotiating with a number of facilities. Dr. George Waldner will arrive in October to fill the position of Vice President of Academic Affairs. �September 10, 1987 PAGE TWO r----------------------·,_.----1The Editorial \ \ i~ A wareness--Can it happen here? Apathy seems always to be the first word out of everyone's mouth when students return to campus. Students are apathetic; they don't want to particpate; they don't want to get involved. Even the faculty gets accused of being apathetic. It seems to me, however, that the true problem with involvement on campus, even the problem of simple respect and concern about the campus environment comes down to one thing--awareness. The problem that seems to be plaguing the college, not to mention the world at large, is the simple ignorance of the people in the environment. Many people will take offense at this statement. Ignorance implies stupidity, and stupidity is one thing that should not even be hinted at in any institutution of higher learning. Still, the problem cannot be ign·ored. The plague of ignorance has even reached into the highest and most important office in the land--the President of the United States. When the man in charge of the destinies of millions of Americans can face his public and claim ignorance of vital issues, as Ronald Reagan did this entertaining summer with the the antics of the Iran Contra hearings, how can Wilkes College be immune to it? When innocent victims of a lifethreaening disease can have their home burned to the ground by their neighbors, supposedly informed adults, as a young family in Florida did, how can Wilkes College be safe from this kind of behavior? Although Wilkes' problem is certainly not as serious as the President's or as heinous as th~ AIDS incident, the impact of ignorance on the campus is still great. The old cliche states, "ignorance is bliss," and yes, in many cases this is true. When students are unaware of the appointment of a new vice-president, when students are unaware of reasons for trees being taken down on campus, they do not have to deal with their consciences or give themselves another thing to think about on top of their classes and their already busy social life. They can take their ignorance and their lack of awareness and tum it into something that is seen I I I . '.\ .Ii I ~ . ~ Do you want to all too often around this campus, acts of vandalism and destruction or just general disrespect. Improvements have been made on the campus over the summer and these changes are to be commended. They are important in their own right. But changing the outside of the campus does not change the attitude of the students on the campus. · The most important thing you as a student can do with your time at Wilkes is to make yourself aware--of national, state, and local issues. Wilkes College is not a separate entity and what goes on in the world affects us very directly. Even more importantly, don't just put your time in at Wilkes, be aware of things around here. Open your eyes to everything--if you see someone cutting down a tree ask yourself "why?" and make it a point to find something out about it. If you see someone committing an act of vandalism, do something--stop him or tum him in. Make it a point to learn about the changes that are occurring daily here at Wilkes College. Believe it or not, what goes on here will · affect your future. Join a dub, become part of an organization; that is perhaps the easiest way to become aware. Once you have achieved awareness of your surroundings, apathy is no longer an issue. Once · you take the time and initiative to become aware, participation and respect will follow, and will hardly feel like an effort at all. There are many sources of information on ..campus which students can utilize to become aware--the Daily Bulletin, WCLH, the closed circuit televisions in SLC. And, obviously, The Beacon is another medium through which students can become better informed about campus issues. Yet The Beacon has often been criticized by students as being hypercritical. "Why doesn't the Beacon ever have anything nice to say?" is a complaint we hear regularly. The people who ask these questions may have a vaild point. Perhaps The Beacon is hypercrtical. · But perhaps this criticism is what it takes to snap people out of their "blissful" ignorance.

W and I f, rcations tJ �September 10, 1987 start of a new year What you can do Convocation Breiseth stressed the importance of gaining control over oneself over the course of life despite difficulties. He said that in spite of the fact that many people will try to influence you, it is you, ultimately, who must make your own decisions. Breiseth said that each student will "chart a unique path through Wilkes." This means that students have a chance to widen and broaden their knowledge by manipulating and testing what they learn in class. . Brciseth speaks to the fres hman class at the Convocation.

According to Allen, Major will be in charge of supervising staff, residence assistants , and other suppport staff. She will have total administration of halls in her area, will advise IRHC (Inter-Resident Hall Council) and will help with crisis counseling. The other assistant director will have similar responibilities, however this person will live in Pickering Hall. Allen is seeking to fill this position. Both will serve as immediate supervisors to the 33 support R.A.s. Allen said he hopes the added adult presence will be a positive contribution to the halls. PAGE THKEE Breiseth said that by part1c1pation in activities and by experiences on campus, a student is developing skills which can be usefol in life. However, this year, the "traditionals" (band, ceremonious clothing and mass audience) of Convocation were combined with the "traditionals" of Commencement to form a unique ceremony. President Christopher Breiseth wished the best of luck to the August 1987 graduates and also welcomed the class of 1991. Robert Heaman, acting vice president of academic affairs, welcomed the incoming class. He · also wished them the best of luck in the upcoming year. for world hunger by Lorri Steinbacher Anyone concerned about the qual ity of life in this world cannot help but be concerned about the problem of world hunger. As Wilkes College is part of this world, it too should be a part of the continuing fight against hunger. Last semster, Wilkes made its contribution to local hunger by having a canned food drive. Although the drive was successful, Tony Vento, Campus Minister, feels that concern should go beyond people's pantries. In keeping with this idea, Vento in conjunction with Dr. Michael Garr and Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long are organizing a college-wide task force against hunger. Ideally, the task force would involve students, administration, faculty, and staff. The force would help people to learn about the hunger problem, and give people a chance to act on their feelings. "Acting," says Vento,"brings people deeper into caring." the force will sponsor a Hunger Campaign that would run from the end of September until November. Many people have used the word apathy in relation to Wilkes students buit Vento disagrees. "I refuse to buy that college students don't care, but it's not just enough to care; you have to act on that caring." Vento feels that many times students may care but see no point in doing so, because they feel helpless. "When you make yourself vulnerable by caring, it can lead you to depression, and who wants to be depressed? Once depression sets in, you can lose sight of what you cared about in the first place. If you have an outlet, this can be avoided." The task force intends to provide that outlet to students who care but who don't know how to tum that caring into something effective and wm:thwhile. At the very least the task force will give students and faculty a "safe" place for support and a forum for their concerns. "We're not just working on . CQntinued on p.10 For a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness · by Lorri Steinbacher The Board of Trustees while deciding the {ate of the Sports and Conference Center were also deciding the fate of another proposed campus structure, the bell tower and carillion. I know that the majority of you may be asking, "A bell tower? What is it and why is it going up?" Paul O'Hop, Vice President of Development and Auxiliary Affairs explains that "there is a lack of a meeting place on eampus. The bell tower would represent a common meeting ground for all Wilkes students." The new bell tower will be located on a plot of land between the Farley Library, and Kirby, Chase, and Church Halls, essentially right in the center of campus. The tower, a 62 foot high structure, would house a caroling bell that could be sequenced to chime at any interval the college chose. The structure will also have clocks on two sides, facing north and south. There are also plans, although nothing definite, to move the bookstore and mailroom to Church Hall, • further consolidating the center of the campus. The proposed completion date for the project started out as 1987 Homecoming in late October. "However," says O'Hop,"Although it is possible that it will be done in October, it is highly unlikely. It will, though, still be a focal point for Homecoming whether it is completely finished or not" It seems only proper that the tower be the focus of Homecoming fcstivites considering its origin. The tower is being built to honor alumni in general and to honor Dr. Charles Bums, Class of '35, in particular. Dr. Bums was a graduate of the fust class of Wilkes when it was still known as Bucknell Junior College Dr. Burns also has the distinction of being the first graduate ever to become a physician. The Wilkes community feels that Dr. Bums represents a fitting symbol for the accomplishments of all graduates. A concern was expressed about the funding of, the project, but O'Hop stresses that the funding for the project was procured from donations by Dr. Bums and his friends and family. "The money for the construction of the bell tower was given to the college specificall{y for the bell tower. These are not monies we can do anything else with." It must be noted, however, that Dr. Bums was approached with the idea of the bell tower by the college; the college was not approached by Dr. Bums. The bell tower is just one of many development projects that O'Hop feels will bring the college, "a degree of uniformity and cohesiveness." �PAGE FOUR . September 10, 1987 Parking rules to be enforced Parking has always been at a premium on campus. pven so, the person who was willing to take a chance on parking illegally could pull off a parking coup with a little creativity. (How mant times have you lifted a wooden gate to sneak your car under?) Well, those days are over. Effective Monday, September 14, at 8 a.m., Wilkes College will be making a major crackdown on illegal parkers. Previously, if a car was found in a college lot without an authorized permit, the cars were given a- warning. On a second offense, the car was ticketed. On the third offens~. the car was towed. Now, there will be no first, second, and third chances. Any vehicle without an authorized permit will New Vending Machines be towed "without any prior warning or ticketing, at the owner's expense." But don't think that just because you are the proud possessor of a parking permit that you are completely risk free. If you happen to park illegally within the confines of the lot, you too will be ticketed. If a second offense occurs, the car will be towed. In audition, all vehicles that are parked in handicapped spaces. loading zones, visitors spaces, sidewalks, grass areas, or double parked will be towed without prior warning. In short, if you don't have a permit, don't bother trying to park in a college lot, and if you do have a permit, park legally. Friday Night at the Movies with .

Many students, wondering about the new signs with the new logo have asked what will happen to the college seal. According to Jane Manganella, the use of the new "W" logo does not mean doing away with the traditional seal. "The seal is entirely different and the seal will be used where appropriate." Manganella said the logo came about with the recognition of the need for signs on campus. There were no clear signs for visitors, incoming freshmen, transfer students and the old plaques on the buildings were not very visable to the public. As a result, Dean Jane Lampe and Manganella said Presidential Cabinet Members Christopher Breiseth, Robert Heaman, Richard Charles, Paul O'Hop, Cheryl Scalese, Eugene Manganello, Jane Manganella, John Pesta, Joseph Chisarick, Bernard Vinokrvski, and Phil Tuhy decided to investigate the possibilities of placing large, readable signs with the new logo at designated campus areas. members The Cabinet _reviewed several designs submitted by a Philadelphia based firm called "Signtactics." The selection process started in the beginning of the academic year and went on until December. Manganella said there was no logo previous to this year and that the development of it will be extremely useful. The "W" on the logo is strong enough to be seen by those in cars passing by a building. She said the new signs have been placed on the lawns in front of or beside six buildings: Weckesser, Bedford, Stark Learning Center, Chase Hall, Sturdevant Hall and the Farley Library. "This lets you know you're still on Wilkes College campus," said Manganella. According to Manganella all the major buildings on campus will eventually have signs.

You too must be careful. Aries - Don't forget about your friends. They are people too, and they are here for more than just your personal needs. They are nice people. Remind them of this and compliment them or they won't be your friends for long. Cancer - Oooh boy!!! Are you in trouble if you don't stop running off at the mouth. Everybody is sick of your bragging, and is abo.ut to form a lynching party to shut you up once and for all. To save face and your life "chill out" on your pride. Leo - Be prepared for a surprise.

Ferris work, named "The Painter and the President" by Korrie Everett The Sordoni Art Gallery is presently featuring works by the American artist/historian, Jean Leon Gerome Ferris. Ferris does realistic paintings of famous historical events. Through . his paintings, Ferris treats us to a side of history that we rarely see; we view his subjects in an ordinary environment, eating breakfast or visiting family. Ferris spent many hours researching his subjects to be sure of the accuracy of his paintings. Ferris was born into an art1st.Ic family; his father, Stephan James Ferris, was a wellknown Philadelphia artist and Ferris' maternal uncles were also well-known artists. With such a family it was inevitable that he become an artist as well. Ferris was educated first by his father, then later on at the Pennsylvania Academy of the · Fine Arts. At the age ·of twenty, Ferris was sent to the Academic Julian in Paris. Presently, seventy-eight of his works are being shown at the Sordoni Art Gallery. They are arranged chronolg1cally from the time of Columbus discovering the New World to the sinking of a ship during World War II. This show is highly recommended to history and art buffs alike. Stop by any day of the week for an interesting and informative afternoon. Art Gallery times are Monday through Friday 12-5. Thursday eve- nings until 9. Weekend hours are Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 1-5.

New backpack and white Reeboks. Pockets full of stolen pens. Tuition is paid, thanks Mom. Thanks bank. Thanks Sallie Mae. If I ever graduate, the next thirty-five years of my life will be locked into a guaranteed debt structure that will keep me "workin' for the company store." But for now I've got $4.00 a month left over for food and clothing. Not a bad budget, all and all. That is, until the trip to the College Bookstore. Didn't I learn in History 101 that w0nopolies had been busted open under fair market laws? Doesn't all the confusion we have in dealing with the telephone company lately prove that nobody can have a throathold on business in this country? Yet, here at the Wonderful World of Wilkes (and I suppose most ' other institutes of higher learning), every semester we come to the painful realization that books, good old books, are fast on their way to becoming the new gold standard. It seems that the only Murphy's law in force is that the cost of one's books may equal but, in most cases, not exceed the price of one's tuition. Now, I don't mind books. Don't get me wrong. Some of my best friends are books. But $29.50 for an anthology of British and American poetry? And all we're reading is the British · Poets?? That's almost $15.00 worth of wasted poets, so to speak. I realize that $15.00 for 30 poets breaks down to about 50 cents a poet, give or take, which isn't a bad price to pay these days for poets. On the open market. But still, couldn't ·we just go over to the used bookstore on South Main Street and pick up the same anthology for, say, 25 cents. With or without algebra that still comes out to just a little over a penny a poet! .Well, I've decided I'm getting my B.A. in Bookstore! That's all there is to it. Why struggle to become a practicing chemist, a violinist, or a certified public accountant, when, if you drop out now and open a college book store, you'll be racing across Biscayne Bay in a 42 foot launch by the time you're 30. $20.95 for Finite Math? Why, the Norton Anthologies,collcctively and individually, have cost me so far somewhere around one hundred dollars!! I had to build a whole new book shelf just to hold them. I have an incurable case of tennis elbow from carrying them, and every time I go back to the bookstore, good old Norton, whoever he is, has just come out with another revised edition. Why, you might suggest, don't I buy used books? Well! Even ·my used psych book with those little pictures of brains cut iq half, with those great diagrams of rats running through endless mazes, wasn't cheap. It has been marked to shreds in miles of squiggly yellow underlinings and love notes scribbled several semesters ago. I know. I sold it back to the bookstore last fall for 27 cents, and I just ran into it again, my very own recycled psych book, and the poor kid that was buying it was getting soaked for a good 15 bucks! When you stop to figure it out, that's almost four months worth of food and clothing. No, my mind's made up. I'm going to drop out of school and open my own College Bookstore. I don't need Econ 101 to understand the concept of "triple mark-up." I don't need Principles of Accounting to know when my budget is being used for cat litter. All I'll need is. a good calculator to add up my profits when I can sell used books at the same price people are paying on the open market for several pairs of large, mating minks. It's obvious that we're running out of educational options. Either you become a Doctor, a Lawyer, or a Bookstore Owner. There's just no four ways about it. But think, when you own your own bookstore, you can just lock the doors late at night, lean back, fluff up all your money, and have a nice, long, luxurious,jree read. �PAGE TEN September JU, 19li7 Hunger Continued from p.3 local, global, and physical hunger," Vento maintains, "It is also a way to work on our own hungers. It can satisfy the hunger of the heart, giving us a chance to open up to others. Itcan satisfy hunger of the mind by allowing us to use our abilities to both analyze and solve problems. It can also satisfy the hunger of our hands to effectively work to make a difference." In order to promote fight against hunger, the Hunger Campaign has four central events designed to further the awareness of local and world hunger collegewide. The kick-off to the campaign will be a Hunger Banquet, on Tuesday September 29,1987 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. This banquet intends to illustrate the reality of world hunger. The second event is a crop walk on October 11. There will also be Hunger Teach-in in November, and the final event would be Campus Action Week, from November 16-20. The week would include another canned food drive and a v;>luntary day of fast at the cafeteria Through the four events, the task force plans to involve faculty, students, clubs organizations, and sports teams in the fight against hunger. Through the task force and the hunger campaign Vento and those involved also hope to bring awareness education and action about world hunger to Wilkes A person can recognize a problem, but until a person can actively help fight that problem, there is no sense. Says Vento,"To know and not to do is not to know." If you have concerns about world hunger and would like to help in any capacity, you can contact Tony Vento at 823-4168, Dr. Michael Garr at ext. 466, or Dr. Susan Behuniak-Long at ext 486.

Most people would see this season as a down year, but with thirty returning letrennan headed by All-American Tony DiGrazia and pre-season AllAmericans Joe Daches and Mark Habeeb the outlook for the 1987 · season looks very bright A mojor key for a successful season will depend on young rebuilt offensive line which returns only one starter. Head Coach Bill Unsworth feels that the talant returning in the skilled posistions will make the offense explosive. "The versatility of our skill people will help our offensive line, which we've had to rebuild," stated Unsworth. "This could be a real fun year." Leading the Colonel attack will be senior Carl Deluca, who will replace Brad Scarborough who holds almost every Colonel passing record. "Carl's a different type of athelete than Brad was. He is more patient, so we'll see more secondary receivers catching the ball." Lining up behind Deluca at fullback will be sophmore Courtney Mcfarlane who missed last season because of a knee mJury. "McFarlane's got blazing speed." Unsworth added, "He gives us what we didn't have last year, that speed." Sophmore Dean Ambosie, who set a record with most rushing yards as a freshman with 912 yards will start at one wingback. "Dean's got to learn half-back and fullback so we can play him at other places," said Unsworth.

This was planned, ~ned Lampe-Groh, so that ent lounges and the widescreen room can be moved into the currently occupied by Health ices. --Testing Services, under Dr. ph Kanner, and the Cooperative cation Office, under Cheryl will also move to Hollenback "in an attempt to centralize some student services," said Lampe-Groh. The Co-op Office, now on the third floor of the Alumni House, will be converted for use in the annual Phonathon. --The Health Sciences Office, un~er Dr. Ralph Rozelle, will be located in Hollenback next year instead of the suite of rooms it now occupies in Evans Hall. That set of rooms in Evans will be converted into an apartment for an Assistant Director of Residence Life in order "to get an adult presence into that dorm," said Lampe-Groh. Another set of rooms in Pickering Hall will be converted to an apartment for a second Assistant Director of Residence Life. LampeGroh explained that because Sue Tomalis, cmTent Assistant Director of Residence Life, will leave Wilkes to attend Dickinson Law School, two new assistant directors will be hired. According to LampeGroh, tile College has already begun aC: vertising to fill these positions. Tomalis' apartment above McClintock Hall will be converted into student rooms for the fall Continued on p. 5 Students drink on dike, seen by police tudent deans move nto Student Center byElizabeth Mazzullo In the wake of several events that have occurred on campus this semester, most notably the incident involvi ng Marc Graves, many people have been asking, "What docs Security do on campus?" Many also wonder if the guards, many of whom are older, could be very effective in crisis situations. Currently, the Security Office in Stark Lobby is manned from 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Monday through Thursday and 24 hours a day on weekends, beginning Friday at 9 p.m . Eight to ten guards make up the security force. A guard is on duty in Pickering Hall from midnight to 6 a.m. every night; guards are also stationed in Miner Hall and Evans Hall from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. each night. These are, according to security guard Tom Donahue, the only buildings with guards stationed in them. "Two auxiliary guards outside are supposed to check all the buildings, make sure things are locked, and if they're not, they call me [at the Security Office] and I send maintenance to lock them up," Donahue said. He explained that the two guards cover two "zones"-from McClintock to Kirby Hall and from Kirby to Barre Hall. He added that the purpose of having guards patrol the campus is mainly "psychological--to have a presence out there." "There's always somebody manning a phone," Donahue noted, explaining that Security can be reached either at the Office, ext. 399, or at the desk in Pickering, ext. 473. The ability of Security to Target date for the move is June 25, according to Lampe-Groh. Student Center hours should not be changed, according to LampeGroh, and student leaders will still be able to get into their offices when the Student. Center is closed. Only one student office will be affected by the move--the Accounting and Business Club Office, which will move to the First Aid Squad Room . The widescreen TV room and the student lounges will be moved to the rear of the second floor. New furniture was purchased for the lounges earlier this year, andLampeGroh said she also wanted to get curtains and pictures for the walls. Lampe-Groh thinks several "plusses" will result from the move of the Student Affairs Office to the Student Center. "We'll have closer physical proximity to student offices," she said. "I personally would hope that students would continue to use Weckesser for meetings because I feel it's important for them to be in that building." The layout of the rooms in the Continued on p. 3 by Elizabeth Mazzullo A group of students were involved in an incident with the police last week for drinking on the River Commons and for having a keg of beer "hidden" on the opposite side of the dike, according to Dean of Student Affairs Jane Lampe-Groh. Lampe-Groh said she didn't know who was responsible for the incident. "Somebody decided that the way to cool off was to get beer," she said. Lampe-Groh explained what happened last Tuesday. - She said that the policeman who came on duty at 3 p.m. drove down River Street and saw a line of cars parked outside Sterling Hall and a group of students with cups in their hands standing on the Commons. A patrolman was then sent to Kirby Park; he could "clearly" see the keg from there, she said. The police next sent a patrol car along the dirt road behind the dike. Lampe-Groh noted, "It is my belief that the Wilkes-Barre City Police had an undercover agent who was at the gathering for the better part of an hour." Lampe-Groh said she received a phone call from the College at approximately 6 p.m. last Tuesday to the effect that four cars were parked on the sidewalk outside Sterling and that "kids were drinking beer" on the Commons.

There are papers to be written .... and papers to be graded. Last month's project needs to be finished before it reappears as an incomplete on the grade report. It seems that we are sometimes so busy with other matters that we don't have time to think. For the graduating seniors the end of the year crunch will mark the end of our career as undergraduate college students. It's important, however for us to find some time before, during, or after finals to reflect on our years here at Wilkes. · The College has undergone a number of changes in the past year or two--some positive, some negative. The Black Students Coalition was formed on campus to act as a support group for black students. A peer counseling group has been established so that students can talk to students about problems. Physically, the Stark Lobby received a face lift creating a bright new congregation area for students. The Programming Board greatly increased the number of activities available on campus. All of these changes either affect students or are brought about by students. · Seniors can ,now enjoy.the perspective of being at the end of the road and looking back at all we've accomplished and all we've done. The most outstanding memories for us will undoubtedly be the time spent outside of the classroom-the extra time making posters for the comedy show, organizing the club trip to New York, serving on a student/faculty committee responsible for making decisions, or writing that weekly editorial. These are the memories that college is made of. . The activities in which students are involved become a part of the college as well as part of the individual student. Next year, or the year after, or whenever those who graduate return to Wilkes the connection between the the student and the College will still be here. Even if Stark Lobby becomes classrooms, the memory of the coffeehouse you helped organize will still be there. · We seniors who are at the end of our college career cannot bring back lost time. But next year's graduates and the graduates of the future can begin to make the memories now by getting involved in campus activities and shaping the direction of the College before commencement day. -m;ui 1!Lltacon VOL.

Now near the end of my third year as presided, sense the growing strength of the College in almost every area. The new administrative organization has given sharper focus to our curriculum, including the ex · discussions over a revised core curriculum. Faculty are working together ever more effectively to prepare these changes even as they are committing themselves individually to professional development acti · linked to the curricular needs of Wilkes. This collaboration is taking place within departments and be departments and schools. The interdisciplinary perspectives we have been working to foster in our slll are being demonstrated among the faculty. Recent statewide appointments suggest the growing recognition of Wilkes' educational leadership colleagues elsewhere in the Commonwealth. Dr. Umid Nejib, Dean of the School of Engineering Physical Sciences, has been elected President of the Association of Engineering Colleges of Pennsyl while Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy, Dean of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education, has been elected of the Pennsylvania Association of Graduate Schools. I have been named to a state task force to strengthen the preparation of teachers and the profession of teaching itself in Pennsylvania in light of recent Carnegie Commission report on teaching. A national conference on teaching was held at Wilkes this month bringing school and college representatives together to discuss the Carnegie report. Frtd Hechinger, education specialist on the New York Times. member of the Carnegie Commission and rec· of an honorary doctorate from Wilkes, gave a forceful keynote address. Our new friends from throughom country were impressed by the talent, dedication, and innovative programs for teachers they saw at w· They were also admiring of the beauty of the campus and of Wilkes-Barre. · While enrollment figures for the fall will not be complete until late August, the early indications positive. We appear to be bringing in a large and talented freshman class. The competition to enter w· among strong students has increased in just one year. The efforts of the Admissions staff, led by Vinovrski and aide4 by the faculty support and enthusiasm indicated above, have contributed to this optirn· · picture. . Along with improvements in almost every athletic team's perfonnance and the continuing w· ways of our debate team, student efforts are also shining through. The musical and drama performances to get better and better. · The quality and character of The Beacon itself has added to the positive IOllC campus which has encouraged serious discussion of difficult issues. No indicator of improvement stnd more forcefully than the initiation of 80 students into the national Physics Honor Society this past week. believe this is a sign of renewal of disciplined intellectual development not only among Wilkes students, · among students in general as the demands of a much more competitive world begin to be understood. We are preparing for more physical changes on the campus to better utilize our buildings to im students life. Not all the plans are complete, but we hope to make ~ moves this summer that will · students and faculty ·together more effectively. There may be surprises greeting returning students next which I think will add to the sense of improvement on our campus. I am optimistic about the energies leadership coming from Student Affairs staff under Dean Lampe-Groh as this will affect the quality of life on campus. · A little-noted but significant change began this past year in the area of increased responsibility. While some of the irresponsible behavior, primarily associated with alcohol abuse, con· · there has been growing evidence of positive initiatives by students themselves to create social opportu · not dependent on alcohol and drugs. The programming of weekend cultural and recreational activities loci quantum jump over the last year. As revealing to me, those students who were brought before disciplinary boards for infraction of the rules accepted the judgement and punishments from their peers ways that indicated understanding of the need for this campus community--as for the society at large-·IO laws which must be enforced for the safety and health of all. Finally, I have been impressed over the past several weeks when meeting seniors in various · to discover the successes they are having in gaining entrance to graduate and professional schools and tog entry-level jobs in their fields of preparation. As we join in your Commencement on May 17, I hope sen· will be thinking not only about your professional futures but about your citizenship and your contin personal growth. You will have the opportunity at Commencement to hear an historian, Dr. John Franklin, and a poet, Dr. Samuel Hazo, both of whom will receive honorary doctorates of humane I Dr. Hazo has given stirring poetry readings at Wilkes and in our region over the past several years, using power of poetry to help us better understand our contemporary lives. Dr. Franklin, one of the nation's distinguished historians, will speak about the bicentennial of the Constitution. From his career as the I scholar of the Black experience in America and as an intellectual architect of the monumental Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education decision of the Supreme Court in 1954 calling for desegrated schools, he challenge us all to act upon our knowledge and our values as citizens to preserve and strengthen this governing nation. _ Good luck to all of us as we approach important new opportunities and responsibilities starting summer. .

In the hopes of pointing out some of the more obvious policies and behaviors that threa~en to darken the name of my beloved alma mater forever? Hell, no. I do it because The Beacon pays me to write a column for them each week. Y eall, that's right. I do it for the money. Y'see, I told you I've got a couple of graduate degrees and that I live and work in New York City. I forgot to mention that I'm a cocktail waitress in a dive bar in Greenwich Village. Yep, that's me. An intellectually fulfilled waitress. And the money's not that good, no matter what they tell you. So when I heard that I could make some beer money by writing a special column for The Beacon, I figured, "What the hell, I need the bucks!" Why am I only a waitress after all those years of school? Well, there just aren't that many jobs in higher education. Especially when your area of special study is Old Norse Literature. Face it, you're not going to get that many job offers short of a McDonald's, 'cause most of the universities that actually offer courses in Old Norse have faculty members teaching those courses who look like they .inst got off the boat--the Vikings' boats, that is--and they show no signs of going off to join their forefathers yet Waitressing looks ~e a good thing after a few years' worth of unemployment, let me tell you!

Besides, in case you hadn't already guessed, I'm something of an opportunist) Managed to spend most of the next ten years in graduate school, doing one thing or another. I even spent a couple of months working as director of a residence hall (what a trip); taught freshman English for a while; wrote for a few newspapers (mostly obituaries). So you see, I know quite a bit about what goes on at college campuses. Wilkes is no different from most of them, either. What am I like today? First of all, I'm not a hippie anymore. If I could make enough money to buy a Volvo, I'd become a Yuppie. As it is, I'm a waitress/sometime poet/ Beacon columnist with a used Toyota and high aspirations. As far as my attitude goes, I've gotten a lot more cynical over the years. Used to be an idealist. I wrote a column a lot like this one when I was a senior at Wilkes, and I really believed at that time that by trying to point out what I thought was wrong about the way things ? • were run at the College that it'd make some difference. But my attitude's changed over the years. Face it, when the time comes that David Crosby makes the cover of People magazine with an expose of his drug addiction, it's . time for all of us old idealists-hippies · or not--to give up our beliefs for the price of a six-pack. So I've tried in this column to recreate some of what I felt back when I was at Wilkes. Maybe not for the right reasons, but hey, us aging Huppies {latter-day hippies who want to be yuppies) have to eat too, don't we? I wish I could write more, but I have to -g o to work--the regulars down at Sam's Bar & Grill are waiting for me.... If you're ever in New York, won't you come see me? Just ask for Q.

Allen has been named Assistant Dean of Students at Wilkes College, announced President Christopher Breiseth. Allen, in addition to serving as Assistant Dean, will also retain his fonner duties as Director of Residence Life at Wilkes. He will work out of the Student Affairs Office, which will be located in the Student Center next year, but will still remain in daily contact with the Residence Life Office. At the present time, Allen said he doesn't have any plans for his new position. "I have a very general idea of my responsibilities," D he said. "I'm still very much involved in my current position." A graduate of the State University of New York at Oneonta, Allen has extensive experience in both student governance and student counseling. At Oneonta, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in both Business Economics and American History. He then earned the Master of Science in Counseling with a concentration in College Counseling. His practicum was in Residence Life and Career Planning and Placement. Allen served as Assistant Dean of Students and Residence Life at SUNY-Oneonta from 1980 until his appointment at Wilkes as Director of Residence Life in 1986. In addition to his student life governance and counseling background, alien has also worked extensively in career planning and placement, programming, orientation, and financial aid. Breiseth said, "Wilkes is fortunate in having Mark as a member of the Student Affairs Office. His experience and expertise will serve our students well." Two speakers named by Elizabeth Mazzullo nd in a crisis has been tioned since the incident lving Graves occurred. Beth Finn, resident assistant in e~s Hall, where the incident took e, said that she called Security they said they would respond ediately." Donahue, who was on duty in that night, explained what pened. "I called the zone guard told him to go over. He was the other end of the zone, and sergeant was coming over to ·eve me because I was going off ty," he said, adding that instead of ·eving him, the sergeant went to eiss. Donahue explained that he also led Maintenance (because their ice is behind Weiss), and that ·ntenance got to the scene just the police arrived. He added that he went over to Weiss also, but noted, "By the time we got there, the cops were there. We handled it the best we could." Donahue explained the reason for the delay, saying that the person who called dialed ext. 473 instead of ext. 399. The guard in ,Pickering then had to call the Security Office in SLC, and, said Donahue, "I was making rounds in Stark." Beth Finn criticized the length of time it took Security to come to the scene. She said she called the police directly after she called Security, but that both arrived at the same time. "It surprised me," she said, "and it disgusted me." "I think we should get the old guys out of here," Finn added. "I've heard that over and over again." She believes that what's been happening this semester "should be telling the school something" about the effectiveness of the security force. Two noted scholars, John Hope Franklin and Samuel Hazo, will speak at Wilkes' Commencement. Commencement ceremonies will be held May 17 at Ralston Field. The Commencement speaker will be Franklin, who will receive an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree. Franklin, a leading historian and scholar, is the James P. Duke Professor Emeritus of History at Duke University. Franklin also taught at several other institutions, including Fisk University, Brooklyn College, and the University of Chicago. Franklin was also a member of the research team whose work led to the landmark Supreme Court decision (Brown vs. the Board ·of Education) which outlawed school segregation. His works include Racial Equality in America and Reconstruction After the Civil War. Hazo will also receive an honorary degree of Doctor of Humane Letters and will offer remarks in response. Hazo, a poet and scholar, is a professor of English at Duquesne University, director of the International Poetry Forum, and editor of Byblos Editions for the International Poetry Forum. §JE~II([})~ WJEJEJK JEVJEN1f§ DINNER DANCE May 12 The Woodlands 6 p.m CLASS PICNIC May 14 Dr. Farley's Farm, Beaumont 12-4 p.m. REHEARSAL & OFFICIAL CLASS MEETING May 15 CPA COMMENCEMENT May 17 Ralston Field (arrive at 9:30 a.m.) CO~OP INTERNSHIPS DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING CO-OP INTERNSHIP APPLICATIONS FOR THE SUMMER IS MAY 15.

The featured DJs are Don Semyon and Ed Buonocore. Don, a senior marketing major from Avoca, PA, and Ed, a sophomore communications major from Somerville, NJ, are the members of the famous, or infamous, Don and Ed Show which airs Saturday from 4-7 p.m. on WCLH, 90.7. That's right, the men who brought you the "Eat Your Favorite Record" contest, a myriad of interesting slide shows, and scintillating guests, now open themselves up to the questions that everyone has been asking. The Beacon: We'll just start out with some basic questions: When did you stan at WCLH? Don: I started there when I was a freshman. Ed: I started just this semester-I'm a sophomore. Don: Yeah, I took him under my wing (laughter from Ed.) The Beacon: What first got you interested in the station? Don: Well, I walked in and thought it was the cafeteria. Next thing I knew, I was on the air. In these days of computerization, I thought it was a fast food chain or something (more laughter from Ed). Ed: It always seemed interesting. I sat in on a cpuple of my friend's shows and thought it looked like experience the theater. Ed: Yeah, thanks to Don we had the best seats in the city. Don: We saw the best shows in town. Ed: For 25 cents you can't beat it. Don: For 25 cents you get your own private booth, and you can do anything you want. The Beacon: Who are you personal favorites in music? Don: The Heat Miser and Snow Miser. Ed: And everybody's favorite feline, Scruffy the Cat. Don: We like to play music that is commercially accessible, but that big radio stations won't play because they haven't heard of them. The Beacon: Some examples? Ed: Big Dish, Scruffy the Cat, The Cutting Edge, The Smithereens. We played the Cutting Edge long before any other station did. Now, three months later, they're in the Top 40. Don: They pick their Number One hits by listening to our show. The Beacon: What about the heat miser and the snow miser? Who sings what? Don: I sing. Eddie's the human beat box, and I'm the human lunch box. Ed: There was a pretaped weather thing, but it didn't fit in with our show. When the weather's good, you get the heat miser, when the weather's bad you get the snow miser. Don: Yeah, you don't even have •1 wanna show p ing," she expla admire her pi desire.

Ed: Our object is just to make people happy Don: We'd like to do it for a living, for money. The Beacon: Will WCLH help you with these plans? Don: Yes, because I won . ten dollars for selling the most subs [during WCLH's annual sub sale]. Ed and I got pizza and we nourished ourselves. following Don: Yeah, during the last show we had lots of visitors. There were girls screaming and banging on the doors. We finally had to let them out (laughter). Ed: We get a lot of calls from other schools--King's, Misericordia, Scranton. We love to get requests. Don: If his mother would stop calling maybe some other people could get a chance. You know, we had to hire a girl? Not to take requests, but we had to hire her anyway. fu~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ed: Girls call us up and want to meet us. I think it's funny.

Kelly sat at a desk with a dictionary, calculator, and a growing set of Funk & Wagnalls Encyclopedias from IGA. I spoke with her for the first time in a few years. She spoke articulately and logically. She had brought the academic world into that house and seemed to be single-handedly buoying herself above the ignorance of her elders, ~ho were learning some basics from this ten-year-old. Kelly was humble too; her grandmother was bragging a bit about the things Kelly knew.

Coming to the end of a semester can seem to be pure joy, especially after having a class in physiology that you barely squeaked through, or a term paper that you forced yourself to write against all your better judgment because, if the truth were known, you truly hated Wordsworth. But at the end of the Spring semester, the reality strikes home Given by: for many of us: "This is it. This . is good-bye to the $1.60 lunch, or Katharine Olivia to blowing off algebra on a rainy Date: day to stay in your dorm or your Sunday May 3, 1987 apartment with your best friend Time: eating doughnuts and ice-cream for breakfast, and all the other college 3:30 PM things that while they were Works by: happening seemed just to be Telemann, Bach, Poulene, happening, but when they are over, they're done.

Senior Flute Recital Knowing this, we all tempt ourselves into believing that this condition of separation will only be temporary. We say "so-long, I'll see you around." We habitually convince ourselves that there will be a tomorrow and that everything will pick up right where it left off. Sometimes, this just doesn't happen. With the Spring semester drawing to a close, many of us will be h~ading out into life, moving to New York or California, or just getting on with the business of not going to college. If that's the case, it's probably best to realize it, get a good grip on it, and take the time to say "Farewell" to the people we've come to consider part of our everyday lives. No matter how attractive it may seem to never again have to take a computer class or have to do research in the library trying to meet a deadline, or all the other inconsequential oddities that seemed such a heavy burden while they were happening, looking back on one's college years is generally a fond remembering. Over the years it will seem that most of it was fun, some of it was educational, and all of it is going to exist forever in that little glass jar. Some of us will meet, quite by accident over the years; you run into each other in a shopping mall, or over a business lunch, and you recall "Oh, remember that horrible lecture on 'Sexually Transmitted Diseases'?" But mostly, you remember the good times, a sort of long vision of recall that · includes the sun shining on the lawn behind Kirby Hall, or sitting in the lounge with absolutely no classes that afternoon and six or seven friends to share a good laugh with. The kindest thing about human memory is that it seems to filter out the long boring moments and highlight only the good ones. I know. I'm forty years old and when I recall whole chunks of my life, scenes out of a movie from the many different experiences I've had, I'd be hardpressed to say that any of it, regardless of how it seemed while I was living through it, was bad. The filter process in my brain has done a good job of leaving only the better memories intact. One of those memories will always be Wilkes. Whoever you are and wherever you may be going, I'd just like to take this moment to say hello, thanks for being there, thanks for all your wonderful smiles that I will always remember. Thank you and farewell. I �. PAGEEIGHf _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Apri130, 1987 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ owt~ere's more anone~ to.- t t-~ ~- co e.

These are all wonderful things to learn; I know they will all come in handy someday. (Probably when I have a family of my own.) But, when I really need to know why Almayer's dreams failed him time and again or the angle of elevation from a church steeple to a tree 100 feet away from the front entrance to the church, I'll let you know!! But, for now, I'd like to tell you what college teaches us about independence and freedom, and how it prepares us to grow up and cut free from our parents. Guess what? Sit down now, you won't believe what I am about to tell you. It doesn't teach you these things. Of course it doesn't. How can it? Instead of parents, you have roommates! Look at how much they have in common. Roomies and parents both nag, "Clean your room, it's a pig'- sty; " . You find yourself (very often) arguing with them over trivial issues, such as whose turn it is to wash the dishes, vacuum, take out the garbage, do the laundry, etc. Parents and roommates are very critical o·f you, "Are you really going out in public like that?" or "Don't you think you should get a haircut?" They tend to be picky too; "You know, I don't mind when you get the bathroom floor wet when you take a shower, but don't you think two feet of water is a bit much?" But, all negative things aside, rommies and parents are very important people. Who else would get up hours earlier than they have to, just to eat breakfast with you, just so you won't be lonely? Who else cares enough about you to wake you up for an important meeting at 8:00 a.m. , even when they know you could really use the sleep? "Sharon, don't you have a chem fi nal that started, oh, 15 minutes ago?" Parents and roommates are important in teaching you about life, love, relationships, and friendship. They are your bitterest enemies and your sweetest friends. {They have to be to put up with you for so long!) They'll always be there to share your victories: "I survived my first 'all-nighter'!" (no matter how large or small), and they'll help you over the rough spots too: "I got a 3.0 on that big test." They are so caring that they'll even sacrifice a night's sleep for you: "Where were you? Do you know what time it is? I worried about you!" Parents and roomies are ready to love you, unconditionally, because after all, "I never asked to room with you!" These people are taken for granted, abused, stepped on, tossed aside, and most importantly, loved to no end by us. They're our best friends for life. When your world is falling apart, your parents and your roommate will always be there for you just when you need them the most. When ~t comes to the most important and influential people in your entire life, j ust remember this old saying, "No aardvarks need apply." ·Debate Union comes out on top The Wilkes College Speech/ Brian (that's right, B-R-I-A-N) Nightmare.

He has been selected as The Beacon Male Athlete of the Year for the second consecutive year. At this point, it would seem repetitive simply to list his many achievements. You have probably heard them all before: most dual meet wins in a season, 49 match dual meet winning streak, all-time wiimingest wrestler at Wilkes, only two time EIW A champion in the history of Wilkes, two-time Male Athlete of the Year, Division I AllAmerican. Suffice to sa that Andre practice. But such is the price perfection. Many successful athletes make the mistake placing · their athletic endt.a ahead of their academic The result is that at the end of years they have a shelf full trophies and a scrapbook full clippings, but no future. Our Male Athlete of the is graduating near the top of class. He has been a regular CII Dean's List each year. For him, only have the many houn wrestling practice paid off, bta have the many hours of s After graduation, he is pl3lllllll attend law school. We have no doubt that will continue his winning wa}'I, whatever arena he chOO!ta compete. Congratulations, Andre. Margo Serafini amed FemaleAthlet of the year by Jim Pyrah Margo Serafini Miller is no doubt, one of the finest wrestlers ever to perform for Wilkes College and, perhaps, one of the greatest athletes ever to bring their talents to this school. · Now, you may think that this is j ust an exaggeration to hype our Male Athlete of the Year. If you do, you have simply never seen Andre wrestle. Andre exudes a kind of quie t confidence every time he takes to the mat. The excitement is contagious and quickly spreads through the crowd. Andre is what many of us hope to be and what most of us will never achieve. He is a winner, a champion. This is not a gift, though. It is not inherited. Every dual meet win, every tournament victory, every honor, tribute, and award has been bought and paid for with countless hours of pain and It isn't easy being a letterwinner in two varsity sports. J ust ask M argo Serafini, our 198687 Female Athlete of the Year. Margo has been a stellar performer on both the field hockey team and the softball team since her freshman year. It was as a goalie for the women's field hockey team this year that Margo really excelled. If statistics tell the story then just listen to the ones that Margo racked up this season. · She was the second leading goalie, out of 22, in the MAC this past season. In 11 conference games she had 180 saves and allowed only 14 goals for a save percen4tge of .958. The best in the league was .967. Overall, Margo had 262 saves in 16 games l\Ild allowed just 25 goals. She posted a total of 5 shutouts and had a season high 36 saves in one game. After playing shortstop last season for the Lady Colonel softball team, Margo has returned to her natural position of catcher. Her bat has been one of the main offensive weapons for the Lady Colonels this year. She has been the leading slugger on the team to this point in the year. She went 2 for 4 with a single and a home run to power Wilkes to a 5-1 victory over Delaware Valley. Our Female Athlete of the Year also contributed a couple of RBI's in a 10-0 whitewash of crosstown rival King's College. It is often very difficult compete in just one college but to compete and be successful two sports takes a special and a special effort The sac.ifice and dedication paid off for Margo though, as has become the top female a at Wilkes College this year. The best part about this competitor is that she is only junior. She will be back next to provide even more action excitement to the Wilkes Coll sports fans. Margo Serafini has set standard for herself, both on and the field, that ensures contin success. Congratulations, Margo. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She said that students who were in the program have come back to her and said that applying their in-class experience in a job setting helped them, but that working in the business world was "a lot different" from working in the classroom. Ninety percent of all internships are paid positions, and these internships can lead to permanent jobs. "If the student is not offered a permanent position with the company, they are referred to a company that is hiring," Gibson said. "It's great for contacts." The Co-op Office provides special programs, as well, such as the "Washington Semester" program with the Washington Center. In this program, students gain 12 credits while particpating in an internship doing "anything you can think of' in Washington, said Gibson. The student pays only for the 12 credits; the College pays for the program and provides $500 for housing. _ Two students have participated in the program already. They are Pamela Jones, an English major, who had an internship with Fashion Flash magazine as an editorial assistant, and Walter Smith, a political science major, who worked for the Chamber of Commerce. Co-op internships are open to any student above the sophomore level. Gibson explained how to apply for an internship. "Anytime after your second semester, freshman year, go to the Co-op Office," she said, adding that students would then talk about counseling, work on resumes, talk about their interests, fill out a card, and list the type of positions they are interested in and geographic Continued on p. 4 Cheryl Gibson, director of Cooperative Education, help you gain practical experience through an internship. can egistration slow this year by Elizabeth Mazzullo L()l\ ... 1w~211\ fot$ wji !lt thttplat· ?rtstt>p fas is season int.op.

Registration is going "very slowly" this semester, according to Registrar Doris Barker. Unlike previous ,years, there aren't any long lines stretching through Sturdevant Hall this year. Some students report only having to stand in a line of two people to register. "The students are not coming in," she said. "The only time there's a line is when they're [the students] waiting for us to open the door." Barker said she's not sure why so few students are registering, but she believes the rainy weather might be a factor. "We have quite a few seniors who have not registered," she noted. As of Tuesday afternoon, according to Barker, 158 prospective seniors had not yet registered. Last semester, room numbers were left off the master schedule and students ·were required to pick up their room numbers when they arrived back on campus in January, enabling the College to get an accurate count of returning students. But room numbers appear on this semester's master schedule ·again. Barker said that leaving the numbers off was "trial and error." "It was strictly my idea," Barker said. • "The kids did cooperate, but it still didn't solve the problem." "We've got to find a better way of keeping tabs on who's here and who's not," Barker added.

According to Sharon Telban, chairperson of the Committee, the Committee discussed the details of the proposed Freshman Seminar course and the details of the selection of courses within the Distribution Requirements. "Our goal is to get it ready for submission to the faculty in May," said Telban. According to the schedule set for implementation of the proposed core, the model will be voted on in May by the faculty. Telban said the Committee is now working on details because the basic structure of the proposed core model is finished. The Committee needs to consider details, she added, "so that the package presented to faculty members contains enough detail so they can make an intelligent decision." "They know the structure," Telban said. "Now they need to know the intent of the structure.

So spoke George Washington on August 29, 1788. He was speaking about the ratification of the United States Constitution. This statement from Washington appeared in the program for the "Constitution Ratifying Convention: A Bicentennial Celebration" held Tuesday in the Center for the Performing Arts--a reenactment of that "great drama" in honor of the Constitotional Bicentennial. All of the first thirteen states were represented at the "Convention," which was coordinated by Susan Behuniak-Long, assistant professor of Political Science. The program began with a series of "ratification debates" between "Federalists" and "AntiFederalists." Speaking first for the Federalists, Walter Smith spoke in favor of ratifying the Constitution. Anti-Federalist Chris Penxa presented the other side of the debate. Other speakers followed. "State delegations" from local high schools' political science classes addressed questions to the Federalist and Anti-Federalist speakers. Delegates ratified the Constitution 10-3, and then proposed and rejected amendments. Behuniak-Long said that Co-op Continued from p. 1 preferences. "A student can develop his own placement if he would like. We would have the final approval as far as the job description goes," Gibson said. The Co-op Office boasts a job bank of over 200 employers, said Gibson. A newsletter comes out three times a year listing internship opportunities, or students can find out about internships through wordof-mouth or by looking on the Coop bulletin board outside of Stark Lobby, said Gibson. amendments dealing with the legalization of marijuana and with lowering the drinking age to 18 were rejected, as was an antiabortion amendment The first amendment that was passed, she said, was one which would guarantee free college-level education for everyone. Behuniak-Long noted that Tuesday's "Convention" wasn't historically correct She explained that the Constitution was written between May, 1787, and Sept., 1787, and ratified in the individual states. "We brought all 13 states together for a day to ratify. They never did that," she said. Behuniak-Long is teaching a topics course this semester entitled "The Constitution: 200 Years." "My class spent six weeks reenacting the writing part [of the Constitutional Convention]." she said. For the Convention, she added, "I wanted them to focus on the debate over the documents--the Federalist and Anti-Federalist documents." "My students were well prepared," Behuniak-Long Sfud. "They've been studying this since January. They got the high school students so involved." "It was great," Behuniak-Long said, adding, "The high school teachers said they were overwhelmed by the response of their students." She concluded, "I was impressed by the enthusiasm of the high school and the college students." In additon, said Gibson, "I can work with other college's Co-op Offices to have referral placements. It's kind of a networking system all across the country." Once in the program, students have to do a bi-weekly journal, attend two seminars during the semester, and complete an extensive project, such as a slide presentation or a paper. Last year, 108 students participated in the Co-op program, and Gibson said they made over $100,000. "It's a definite plus to anyone's education," concluded Gibson. eak riday, April 10, 'M.

And al a March 27 press erence in Washington, D.C., suicide prevention experts d news accounts of such ies may encourage others to ythemselves. 'The very things that make a story are the very things that cause a suicide: the lurid ·~." warned Dr. Herbert Pardes Columbia University. Whatever the reasons, the 'de rate is rising. In a ember, 1986 study, the Centers Disease Control (CDC) found in 1984 the suicide rate was deaths per 100,000 people 15 to 24. The numbers, however, also e the fact that the suicide rate '80 was 12.3 per 100,000 .,g people, meaning the !em has stayed nearly the same ghoul the decade. Yet there may be even more · 'des than the CDC indicates. "Coroners will say, 'I'll do ihing 1can do not to document a · ide,"' said Julie Perlman, utive director of the American iation of Suicidology. "They're trying to protect the ·1y," Perlman added. The recent set of statistics also ws that young men are five s as likely to commit suicide are young women, and collegeyoung men are twice as likely kill themselves as are boys aged to 19. Researchers believe that young are less able to deal with changing relations between the sexes and less likely to resolve emotions of grief and sorrow than are women. Leah Dickstein of the Louisville (KY) School of Medicine calls it the "White Knight Complex," in which young men are raised to deny their emotions and that they depend on others. Even today, many young men grow up expecting traditional malefemale relationships, Dickstein said, even though women are now more likely to break off a relationship. "In the past," Dickstein said, "women didn't leave men. They had no place to go, no education. Now, women have many options.'' "Dependency,'" she added, "is very much connected to suicide in men, since dependency is not acceptable in men. When a man feels he is dependent, he feels helpless and out of control." Dickstein cites a recent article in The Men's Journal, in which a male author said that · breakups bring heartbreak to women, but that men "suffer a breaking of the spirit.'' Another reason the campus suicide rate is rising is that students have i,a higher pressure quotient" than in the past, said John Hipple, Ph.D., of North Texas State University and the National Center for Health Statistics. "You leave your family--your support system--when you go away to college. You might feel alone. There are financial pressures. College costs are going up, and it's getting harder to get aid." Donald Kee~, director of the University of Idaho's Student Counseling Center, traces students' suicidal feelings to some kind of loss, be it money, a relationship, or even free time. Students also suffer symptoms of emotional and physical illness when certain lifestyle needs are frustrated, Indiana State University Prof. Emeritus Charles Nelson asserted in a recent study of campus suicide. Colleges themselves, most experts agree, can help. "The university is a major intervention in the lives of its students," Nelson wrote, adding that institutions should develop programs to help students cope with stress. Leighton Whitaker, the director of psychological services at Swarthmore College, recommends schools "care for" students, rather than show "normal disinterest." Faculty and staff, Whitaker said, can "erode the foundations of self-destructiveness" in depressed or angry students. Students are asking schools to help, too. At the University of Pennsylvania; student traffic at the counseling center is up 14 percent this year, a phenomenon staffer Vivian Boyd attributes to more social acceptance of c<;mnseling services. Another . Penn counselor attributes the increase to higher academic standards and advertising. "We are getting more kids earlier every year, and are forced to put kids on waiting lists all the time," added Hipple. ~fit ople who want find forms tll Fiorentino at fi6. is part of ent which will 1d research and he March Of birth defects. 1es hopes to raise dollars, the tched last year. tlk :ek'sBeacon :le on the 1op, "What ers Look for iring Coll 1ates: The · of Extra- iculars," wrong room >er.

Diploma and Associate Degree .N.'s can now begin to earn the accalaureate Degree in Nursing at ilkes College by successfully hallenging just one exam, the osby Assessment Test, instead of hallenging the three eight-credit courses • previously required for admissions. According to Acting Chairperson Ann Marie Kolanowski, the new procedure was established to "further meet the needs of R.N.'s in Northeastern Pennsylvania." Kolanowski said, "There is a special need. The R.N. who wants to earn the baccalaureate degree usually has a full-time job and family responsibilities. Yet, so many are extremely well-qualified though professional experience for entrance into the program, that we decided to re-evaluate our requirements to meet their particular needs relating to time, expense, and location for testing." The results are that R.N.'s may now take the Mosby Assessment Test on the Wilkes College campus whenever it is convenient for the candidate. A Petition to Challenge fonn may be picked up from the Department of Nursing, 217-219 South Franklin Street. The completed fonn and a minimal fee will then be returned to the campus testing center, where a date for the challenge examination will be arranged. The purpose of the Mosby Test is to evaluate knowledge gained in the basic nursing program. The candidate must achieve a 55 percent or better grade to validate prior learning; and if the candidate has already taken the appropriate Mosby Test, the department will accept the score fo up to three years from the time the examination was given.

Newson named ACE Fellow Dr. Roosevelt Newson, assistant professor of Music, has been selected as an American Council on Education Fellow in the 1987-88 ACE Fellows Program. Newson's selection as a fellow was annourn:;ed recently in Washington, D.C., by ACE President Robert H. Atwell. Newson, who was nominated for this honor by President Christopher Breiseth, joins an elite group of educators chosen from around the country for ACE Fellowships. Each year, the program selects only thirty to thirtyfive fellows in a national competiti1.i11 to enter a program designed to strengthen leadership in American higher education by identifying and preparing faculty and staff for responsible positions in college and university administration. As a fellow, Newson will participate in three five-day seminars deaiing with higher education issues, read extensively in the field, produce an analytical report, and engage in other activities in preparation for administrative responsibilities. According to ACE officials, in the 22-year history of the program, 104 fellows have become chief executive officers, while more than 450 others have become vicepresidents, provosts, or deans. Newson has been a member of the Wilkes College faculty since 1982. A pianist critically acclaimed as "bursting with drive, direction, and impetuosity," he is known for both his musical and academic achievements. He is a native of Louisiana and a cum laude graduate of Southern University in Baton Rouge and attended the Peabody School of Music on a full graduate scholarship. In 1977, he completed his doctoral studies at Peabody, with the support of grants from the Ford Foundation. He is also a recipient of the F. Lammont Belin Arts Scholarship. He has played in concerts from coast to coast, including ten appearances as featured soloist with the Baltimore Summer Orchestra, and has presented solo recitals at the National Gallery of Art, Johns Hopkins University, and Town Hall, New York. In 1978, Newson was selected as the winner of the Belin Compeiition in Pennsylvania and the Triad Music Club Auditions in New York City. That same year, he completed a highly successful European tour, playing in Salzburg, Vienna, Brussels, and London. Newson's name will be listed with this year's ACE Fellowship winners in an upcoming issue of the ACE Bulletin, Higher Education and National Affairs. �PAGE SIX April 9, 1987 A different perspective .

You have never questioned my ability to succeed, even when I questioned it. You taught me to be honest, hard working, and to treat others as I would wish to be treated. It has paid off--1 am standing on the threshold of a new facet of my life. I am relieved. Finally, after six long years, I am graduating. I look forward to May 17 with a mixture of excitement, happiness, and sadness. You might ask, "why the sadness?" I would have to answer, "because you cannot be here to see me recieve my diploma." I will look into the crowd on May 17 and will not see your smiling faces as you proudly say, "that's our daughter." The tenacity to "hang in there" was developed in my early years by both of you. I can hear Mum now saying, "if you want to do something, then by golly do it right--the first time," and "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." You gave me love too! Now, at forty-eight, the star I reached for is almost within my grasp. I miss you both very much, and throughout the past year I have been trying to find a way to bring you both here to America for the graduation ceremonies. It is not to be. The sheer distance (11,000 miles) and your health prevent you from making the trip. However, I know that you will both be here in spirit, and I will accept my diploma for you. My life has changed tremendously over the last six years. Pain and happiness have been part of the change. Your concern for my welfare has been constant, always present in your letters and tapes. New Zealand is so far away, an almost insurmountable distance. Overshadowing the sadness of your absence on May 17 is great excitement. After almost twelve years I will, after all, be seeing both of you again. Since you are unable to be here, I will bring my graduation to you. Sandrfi will video tape the ceremony and later, after Todd has graduated from high school, I will be on my way down to see you. I have never been able to be there for you when you were sick or just needed to know you were loved and appreciated. Sure, I always wrote to you; however, physical contact is so much better. I wish that all my fellow graduates, and every person reading this letter, would on graduation day, or any day, tell your parents how much you love them. Thank them for all their love and support during your years of growing up. For those who are graduating, thank them for their support during the last four years that you have spent furthering your education. I end this letter with one last thought--miracles do happen. With all my love always, Your daughter, Ann Wilkes students stepped out this past rainy Friday to enjoy an evening of pseudosunshine and tropics at the annual April Fool's Dance, held at they gym. 1:he evening which was sponsored by the Commuter Council and the Inter- Residence Hall Council, featured a DJ, various contests, and a beach party atmoshpere (complete with leis) that added to the festivites of the evening.

The 'f• Residence oshpere wisher expresses ·his hope that the recipient of the greeting has a gratifying time on Easter Sunday; however, should the well-wisher perceive the object of his wish between the time of the wish and Easter, the wish is no longer valid. I don't think the author of this over-used greeting intended the syntax to be altered as to become conditional. He meant "in case that I don't see you," but that doesn't make this greeting-preceding clause any less cumbersome. The conditional "if' betrays a sense of paranoia in the greeter who clearly fears that either his wish is still premature or that (heaven forbid) he may open himself up to the risk of having to wish someone two "Happy Easters!" That would • • • be like sharing that climactic good- bye with someone whom you won't see for awhile and as you approach the car still savoring the emotion, you realize you left your car keys above their toilet.

You're sitting at your desk, trying as hard as you can to study for that huge bio test tomorrow. Instead of the comforting silence of peace and quiet, you are confronted with the loud, · pounding noise of someone else's radio, or the violent yelling of two roommates down the hall. Why can't everyone just be quiet? You turn on your radio, hoping to find some soothing music to put you in a studying mood. Instead, you find that it's heavy metal night on practically every radio station you turn to. As you twist the dial toward the left end of the radio, you suddenly hear a DJ announce, "Hello, I'm Andy; and welcome to Nightsounds." If you do hear this introduction, you have chanced upon one of the more refreshing shows on WCLH this semester. Nightsounds features the best in jazz, including fusion, New-age, and some traditional jazz. The DJ/ host of Nightsounds is Andy Morrell, a junior communications major from Kingston who lives on campus in Evans Hall. With pop music flooding the air waves, why would anyone decide to do a jazz show? Says Andy, "Jazz is definitely an alternative. It is peaceful music--just man and his instrument, as opposed to just noise. They [jazz artists] are excellent musicians." Andy prefers jazz music because it is "intricate and involved. Jazz harbors some of the although it cannot be categorized. " most talented musicians in the The label features music that creates a mental atmosphere. Some titles, world." ..;uch as Rain or Painoscapes, indiFor those of you not familiar with jazz, the three basic types of jazz music that Andy plays on his show are fusion, new age, and traditional jazz. Fusion is basically jazz-rock crossover music. Most likely, you have heard some of this music at one time or another. Traditional jazz music include the classic artists, the oldies but the goodies. This music is very improvisational. Perhaps the more complex type of jazz is New-age. New age music is "usually acoustic and instrumental. It is music that evokes atmospheric and emotional effects. The music is usually written about an environment instead of about a person or feeling," explains Andy. "You can even trace it back to classical music. At one point ' New-age was called nee-classical." In addition to being raised on jazz music, Andy cites his other reasons for his love of jazz,"Jazz is easily my favorite music in the cate this. Andy also plays a lot of world. It is very expressionistic fusion. He describes this music as, and probably one of the widest areas "highly energetic with excellent of music. There are a lot of rhythm sections(drums and bass) that provide a solid down beat. feelings and emotions in it." Some of the artists you are Andy stressed a major difference belikely to hear on Andy's Sunday tween the jazz that he plays on the night show include, Michael show and pop music. "Jazz is [listened to] for the music instead of Hedges, a steel string guitarist; Scott Cossu and Philip Aaberg, both pianists; Alex Di Grassi, a guitarist; or Shadowfax. "My ■ favorite label is Windham Hill," ■ says Andy. "It is a New-age label, was a neat medium," relates Andy. He got a chance to talk to a DJ and started right before Christmas break. Andy sees that WCLH will help him in his future aspirations. Andy says, "Radio is the field that I want to go into. WCLH spawned that interest." He wants to be involved in anything dealing with music. Andy is also plished drummer and see how far my dru me."

The event was hosted and sponsored by Shippensburg University, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. For two and a half days of competition, the Wilkes Public Speakers competed against twelve schools from Virginia, New York, West Virginia, New Jersey, Delaware, and Pennsylvania. In addition to the team award, each member of the Wilkes squad picked up individual awards. Andrea Kocerha won a 4th place trophy for her program in the area of impromptu interpretation. Jeff Eline won a 4th place award in the area of salesmanship, keeping alive the 23 consecutive tournaments that Wilkes has entered salesmanship competition and has placed . an individual in the top six of that event. However, it was the rhetoric_a l the words," Andy says. Andy first became involved with WCLH just this past semester.

Brain won third place honors in the Speech of Entertainment--commonly called the After-dinner Speech. He rounded out his victories with an impressive 2nd place trophy in the difficult competition known as Demographic Exhortative Rhetoric.

Finer Things Cereal serial Some thoughts on breakfast by Lee Morrell etc. PAGE NINE The alarm goes off at exactly 7:31 a.m. The best part of the morning is upon us. That's right, breakfast is ready. There are probably many of you out there who don't feel like a human being without having those slices of French toast, or two scrambled eggs, or a large stack of pancakes. Then, there are the true breakfast aficionados like me who just don't feel right without that bowl or two of sugar-coated empty lumps of puffed air and milk every morning. There . is no breakfast like the breakfast with more sugar in it than your average dessert. Recently, L began my independent research on sugar-coated . cereals. I started out slowly with Honey-Nut Cheerios. Really, considering the sugar content of this cereal, I really shouldn't count it but it does have some sugar, so I included it. As for their advertising, the Cheerios people were right, you can't sink those buggers. You really can't eat them, either. Well, maybe once in a while, like oatmeal, but they are far too civilized for me. Next came Lucky Charms. mercials claim to be "orangey Just looking at this cereal shows orange, lemony lemon, and new you that it is different. There are grapity grape."

No, this move is not a direct assault on the press' freedom of speech, but it certainly does have an effect on the way the news will be presented. According to Gregory, the Reagan Adminstration is one of the most inaccessible in the recent history of the presidency. Even the Nixon Adminstration, during the Watergate scandal, was more accessible. The problem of an inaccesible president also complicates the job of the reporter. If the press cannot reach the president, the press must get their information ·from another source.

The start of the A side game was delayed about a half-hour because of a heavy downpour, but the delay didn't help the Breakers at all. When the opening kick was received by the Hibernians, it was raining hardt'J: than during the delay. Because of the driving rain the field was . in very poor condition. This made play extremely tough. ·Ball movement was difficult and any points put on the board would be very important. Halfway through the first period, the Hibernians brought the ball deep into W ilkes-Barre territory with some accurate and timely passing. Within minutes the Hibernians were about to score the game's only tri. A Hibernian back rumbled into the tri zone for the game's first points. The conversion was good. As the whistle blew to end the first half, the score stood at 6-0 in favor of the Hibernians In the ~nd half, the sun In B side action, the results . were j ust as gloomy for the Breakers. The Hibernians broke out to an early 8-0 first-half lead on some good scrum play. The Hibernians controlled the ball through the first half and the Breakers were held scoreless.

The Black Students Coalition is trying to achieve several objectives. "The initial purpose," said Kevin Lawrence, "is getting the blacks together." The organization would also like to serve as a bridge between the blacks on campus and members of the community. The founding committee feels the blacks at Wilkes are not being viewed in a true light by the community due to a lack of communication. "We would like to get them [the black students] more involved in College and community affairs," said Timothy Walker. Kevin Lawrence also feels the BSC will become an important tool in helping those black students on campus to identify with each other. He feels the BSC could maintain such an identity for the 15-20 black students who reside on campus. The Black Students Coalition may serve as an aid to increase Continued on p. 3 Have a problem?

Missing from picture Thirty people, including committee members, attended last week's open hearings on the _proposed Core Curriculum. According to Sharon Telban, chairperson of the Core Curriculum Review Committee, eight students, 16 faculty and staff members, and six committee members came to the three meetings held last Wednesday and Thursday. Some people came to more than one meeting, she noted. Telban felt that the "quality of questions" asked was "impressive." "I think the questions they asked showed that people thought about it and thought about the impact it would have on students," she said, adding, "The students asked good questions." Questions were raised on several topics, including the possibility of overlapping distribution courses, the freshman seminar, the foreign language proficiency, and J?hysical education requirements. Another area of discussion, Telban said,- was the "insurance of the quality of teachin!:, in the distribution." The question was' asked, "What will the impact be on educational excellence?" A student who went to two meetings noted that she talked to Telban after one meeting and found it "more informative" than the meetings themselves. The student explained that when she first went to the meetings, she did not agree with the proposed revisions. "But after speaking to Sharon," she said, "I think they have the right idea. It does seem like thay have a reason and a plan for it." "I feel a lot better about it after talking to her," she added. But the student feels that the meetings themselves were "political." She explained, "The whole idea of changing the Core is political, and a lot of political things came out at that meeting." As an example, she cited the Admissions Office's opposition to the proposed foreign language requirement The next meeting of the. Core Curriculum Review Committee will be held tomorrow, ApriC2, at 2:30 p.m. in the conference room of the Nursing Deparment. Everyone is welcome to attend and share his opinions. �PAGE TWO April 1, 1987 ·······~····.-·····················Ed.t .

This sort of organization is long overdue at Wilkes. The organizers should .be applauded for taking a difficult initial step in ~ttemptmg to create a greater awareness that such groups are m fact needed among the Wilkes College community. The purpose of the group, as stated in the article, is not to separate, but to bring together the blacks on and off campus with other black students, campus organizations, and the local community. The basic goals established in this· statement of purpose should serve as a springboard for the formation of other such groups on campus. Wilkes College, however, is behind the times as. far as SUJ?port. ?rganizations are .concerned. Other colleges and umversmes around the nat10n have recognized that support groups are cru~ial.. This is evidenced in the variety and number of organ1zat1ons found on campuses. Gay alliances and womens' groups are two of the many support organizat~ons being formed to bring together people with common mterests and concerns. In .addition to their social function, the groups also, and more importantly, serve as a means of support for its members. Students are able to meet and discuss special problems and issues that they are faced with as members of that group. . Taking the first step in any new area is always the most difficult one. The BSC has started the ball rolling. Campus support groups that promote an open, healthy exchange of ideas and a sense of unity should be promoted and supported. The formation of the BSC will hopefully enfO!!rage ?ther groups to o~ganize coalitions on campus brmgmg Wilkes College more m tune with the times. -m:bt 1Altacon VOL.

" (March 26) I am sorry to say that I did not attend either the Bob Garner Show or Winter Weekend, but I was present at both The' Dating Game and Chicago City Limits. Call me crazy, but I got the impression that people there were enjoying themselves. I'm sure some people did drink before these events, but l'm equally sure most did not. As for sexual connotations and even sexual displays, anyone offended was at liberty to get up and leave any time; although I can't recall an instance when such an occurrence did't produce a roar of laughter and/or applause. Both The Dating Game and Chicago City Limits were audienceparticipation events, and thus the audience dictated the course of the evening. If they wanted shows "referring to sex, _sexual organs, or homosexuality," that's what they got. And what's wrong with it? These are people who, for the most part, are decent, if not hardworking, college students out for a good time. The purpose of college is not solely to educate, but also to socialize. Can anyone truly believe that the happenings of these two evenings were educationally detrimental or socially harmful; or that similar or "worse" things don't happen at other colleges, possibly the one just down the street? College years are almost by definition a time to enjoy yourself; raise a little Hell; and talk, joke, and (dare I say it) participate in activities involving sex or alcohol. If this isn't your idea of fun, fine: do what you like; but I wish people would stop trying to police the morals of others. Bill Moses Dear Editor: In recent issues of the Beacon a few articles appeared expressing disgust over occurances at the Engineering Club's annual Dating Game. It is my intent to clear up the misleading, ambiguous, and inaccurate remarks made in two of these articles, "The Dating Game: A Night to Remember?" by Holly A very; and "A Sad Commentary on Wilkes," by Q. Jane Circa. First, Holly Avery's article leads (or rather misleads) the reader to believe that the events that occured on stage at the Dating Game were planned in advance (most likely by the Engineering Club). This is completely wrong. Quite to the contrary, the only planning that is done for the Dating Game is to arrange to have the CPA for the evening and to obtain volunteers, from all majors within the college, to be contestants. Neither the questions to be asked nor the replies and actions are planned by the Engineering Club. Rather, the questions are planned by each individual that is to ask questions, and the replies and/or actions are not planned by anyone in advance, since the contestants do not know what questions will be asked. Also, I would like to point out that the majority of the contestants are not even Engineering majors let alone members of the Engineering Club. Therefore, I feel it was unfair as well as wrong of Holly to present the events that occurred as a poor reflection on the Engineering Club. In addition, I understand that Holly was upset mainly because she brought her young son to the show. I do not understand why anyone would bring a young child to &ll'. college function when they · know that things like this, and even worse, can and do occur. Would you bring a child to a college function? While Holly's article contains only facts, even if some are misleading, Q. Jane Circa's article not only misleads the reader, but twists the facts through ambiguity and innacuracy to paint a picture of the Dating Game that suits her article. To back up this point, I would like to quote Q. Jane's article: "As far as the Dating Game is concerned, I understand that large quantities of alcohol were present backstage so the contestants could get 'prepped' for the show." A reporter should not write on what Contributing Writers: Lee S. Morrell, Q Jane Circa, Kim Klimek, John Cusatis, Kathy Harris, Tami Kunkel, Marsha Howes. mean. Obviously, to Q. bottle of beer that I te amount, constitutes a quantity. It is also ob · this is just an example of Jane words a sentence such illustrates her point rather provides the reader with the facts. Poor reporting · opinion. Final! y, I would like IO out that the quote from Q. article misleads the r believing that the Enginee · provided, allowed or knew alcohol backstage. This is case, the truth is that nei Engineering Club nor any members provided, allo knew of alcohol backstage. In conclusion, I feel Beacon has painted a misleading and inaccurate the Engineering Club and acknowledge this fact by · formal apology. Also, I to ask Q. Jane Circa why she not use her real name when a misleading commentary?

A lot of people, both students and faculty, said they were surprised The Beacon ran the "Graves arraigned on charges" story. They didn't think the College would "let" The Beacon run the story. To me, this shows that a lot of people don't understand the purpose of this paper. This is a student-run newspaper, and its purpose is communication, not covering things up or ignoring what needs to be said. This goes for students' actions-from criminal charges to immaturity--as well for as the actions of the administration. The Beacon's role is to report the news. But since the communication process is twofold, the rest of the College community has a responsibility, too. If you don't like something in The Beacon, let us know. That's what the "Reader Response" section's for. by Kim Klimek Are you planning to look for a job in the near future? College is a means to reach your "dream job." Many students have the misconception that getting a job means they have to display superb college grade point averages. Although grades are important to employers, employers do not look at grades alone. They also look at an applicant's extracurricular activities. After meeting with the Volunteerism Committee, Jane Elmes-Crahall, assistant professor of speech, communications, and theater arts, decided it was time to hold a workshop on extra-curricular activities. Through Elmes-Crahall's planning, students will be able to attend "What Recruiters Look For When Hiring College Graduates: The Value of Extra-curriculars" sponsored by the Committee o'n Volunteerism and the Career Planning Office. She said that many students do not see the payoff in joining extracurricular activities, but she hopes that the panel discussion will help students see the opportunities through the experiences of others. The disussion will be held during activity period on Thursday, April 9, at 11 a.m. in Stark 101 when extra-curricular groups meet sO"advisors may bring groups to it. Anyone interested may attend.

In addition to Wilkes students, many people outside the campus have expressed interest in joining the group. In its constitution, the Black Students Coalition lists its goals as follows: (I) Establish a forum whereby black students and its members can meet :md interact with each other. (2) To apprise black students of special programs and of other opportunities within the College community and Wilkes-Barre. _ (3) To address the problems faced by members of our organization. (4) To aid Wilkes College in exploring means of increasing black student enroIIment. (5) To seek opportunities to participate in community-sponsored activities. (6) To provide an atmosphere of openness between ourselves and other campus-sponsored organizations.

This unknown, potential rapist is the one our mothers have warned us about-don't walk alone on the streets at night, don't go to a movie or play by yourself, always check the back seat of your car before entering, and observe possible escape routes should you be approached by an unknown male. The threat of rape by a stranger causes women to restrict their activities, perhaps change their lifestyle. But the stranger rapist is not the only one-we must be concerned about Indeed, a rapist may be someone we know; he could be a colleague, ex-boyfriend, classmate, or neighbor. Picture this account taken from Ms. magazine of October, 1985. "It was the beginning of spring break when I was a junior. I was in good spirits and had been out to dinner with an old friend. We returned to his college (dorm). There were some seniors on the ground floor, drinking beer, playing One of them, John, wasn't playing, but he was interested in the game. I found him attractive. We talked, and it turned out we had a mutual friend, shared experiences. It was getting late, and my friend had gone up to bed, so John offered to see me safely home. We took our time, sat outside talking for awhile. Then he said we could get inside one of the most beautiful campus buildings, which was usually locked at night. I went with him. Once we were inside, he kissed me. I didn't resist. I was excited. He kissed me again. But when he tried for more, I said no. He just grew completely silent. I couldn't get him to talk to me anymore. He pinned me down and ripped off my pants. I couldn't believe it was happening to me .. . " This incident clearly demonstrates the difference between stranger rape· and acquaintance or date rape, a phenomenon that has attracted the attention of researchers for the past several years. The act of rape, using coersion or force to have sex with a person against her will, is the same in both instances. The difference between the two is trust. A victim of acquaintance/date rape is not only violated physically bridge. I'm an avid player, so we but psychologically. Comments joined them, joked around a lot. such as, "I trusted him," or "He was my friend," or "I can't believe it happened to me" convey this. Guilt, shame, misunderstanding, and silence surround the victim of acquaintance/date rape. Statistics from a recent Ms. Magazine Campus Projtct on Sexual Assault survey confirm the widespread incidence of acquaintance/date rape on campuses throughout the nation. This survey reached 7,000 students at thirty-five schools. Some of the results are: --52% of all women surveyed have experienced some form of sexual victimization. --One in every eight women were the victims of rape, according to the prevailing legal definition. --One in every twelve men admitted to having fulfilled the prevailing definition of rape or attempted rape, yet virtually none of these men identified themselves as rapists. --Of the women who were raped, almost three quarters did not identify their experience as rape. --47% of the rapes were by first or casual dates or by romantic acquaintances. --Three quarters of the women raped were between the ages of 15 and 21; the average age at the time of the rape was 18. --More than 80% of the rapes occurred off-campus, with more than 50% on the man's turf: home, car, or other. --More than one third of the women raped did not discuss their experience with anyone; more than 90% did not tell the police. What might be done to reduce the incidence of acquaintance/date rapes? Eighteen-year-old college students are most vulnerable to acuaintance/date rape. Therefore, colleges need to provide all female and male students with information about this type of rape. Orientation would seem to be the ideal time to do this. Other services colleges can provide are crisis interven advocacy and women's st grams that educate about and rape. Lastly, young and men can begin to talk about their beliefs and ex about sex. When women say they may need to say it lo clearly, and men may need to serious! y and hear the "no." c.c. M.D.A.

March 25, brought the Third World Lecture Series to a close. The last installment featured Dr. Ilan Peleg, the chairman of the Department of Government and Law at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. Dr Peleg gave a lecture entitled, "The Other Arms Race: Soviet-American Arms Supplies to the Third World." The lecture was introduced by Joel Bedatsky, chairman of the HistoryPolitical Science Department Dr. Peleg opened his lecture by questioning the effectiveness of the Strategic Defense Initiative (S.D.I.), perhaps better known as "star wars." He touched on the possible consequences 'of this system. One example given was the "Nuclear Winter," as deatiled by Carl Sagan. Dr. Peleg pointed out that "although the other arms race is not well understood, [it is] more politically important than a USUSSR balance." In fact, between the years 1972-1980, the USSR supplied Iraq with between 4 1/2 and 5 billion dollars in arms. Dr. Peleg also gave som~ reasons that the USSR supplies many countries with defense. First, _it is a good way to lure a country out of "corporation" with the US. Second, the USSR has nothing else to offer but weapons. Third, the USSR supplies arms to guarantee bases and ports in the Third World. Dr. Peleg also pointed out the changes in United States policy toward arms. In the 1950's the U.S. practiced "relative restraint" otherwise translated as "we build arms but keep them to ourselves·-we don't sell." This attitude ~(?ntinued__ through the 1970's at which point we began "unrestrained supply." This tranlates as "we build our own arms and sell to other nations." In 1976, President Jimmy ·carter brought back "relative restraint," but with 1980 came Ronald Reagan and a return to "unrestrained supply." In fact, according to Dr. Peleg, "In 1982, the U.S. sold 22 billion dollars worth of arms." Dr. Peleg disagrees with President Reagan's policy and closed by saying, "Despite powerful coalition, I think there is a profound reason to work for restraint." After a question and answer period, Dr. Christopher Breiseth thanked all involved and congratulated Dr. Kenneth Bauzon, coordinator of the Series on a job well done.

Dr. Herman has plans to improve Wilkes' academic environment. One of his goals is to institute a "Word of the Day" program to improve students' vocabulary. Dr. Herman wants to create several new majors at Wilkes, in Cartooning, Claymation Management, and Scooter Maintenance and Repair. He also wants to replace the traditional "Ralston Cheer" with his trademark "Tequila" dance and form the "P. W. Herman Bicycle Safety Club" for the cycle enthusiasts on campus. Dr. Herman is well-qualified for the position. He graduated from Harvard University with undergraduate degrees in Wordology and Culinary Arts, with a minor in icecream soup.

A nationwide epidemic of declining college enrollment has not passed by Wilkes College without leaving its mark. The Declining Freshmen Enrollment Committee has been formed to evaluate the possible source of the problem and to make recommendations to correct the problem (besides, Wilkes needed one more committee to win the "Private College with the Highest Number of Meaningless Committees Award.") The committee has devised a new admissions test for incoming freshmen that will help raise enrollment for next semester. The Bacon believes the committee has done a fine job. The devised tests are more difficult than the present admissions tests but in the long run will increase the competitiveness of the College. Good work!! 0 A.

Watch out for men with three arms, wearing Burger King uniforms! �What a way to Thousands, maybe even hundreds, packed into the Wilkes College gym last week to watch a classic basketball matchup between the Willces faculty and the Wilkes students. The faculty boasted that, although they were slow, they had a superior game plan that would lead them to victory. They would not comment on just what that plan was. The students were not intimidated, though, as they cited youth as their principal advantage. The faculty enlisted the help of Coach Ron Rainey in developing their skills. The students had stellar basketball player Jeff Steeber to guide their efforts. As game time approached, the crowd was entertained by the cheerleading squaqs for each team. First, leading the faculty cheerers, was Dean George Ralston who stirred fans with the Colonel yell. He was followed by President Breiseth, Dean Jane Lampe-Groh, and Jane Manganella, who performed an acrobatic routine to inspire support for the faculty. Leading the student cheering section were Scott Zolner and Keith Manchester. They performed an intricate routine involving bananna peels and marshmallows. With game time close at hand, our Sports Information Director, Patty Moran, had the duty of introducing the starting lineups for each team. Playing center for the faculty squad was Dr. Kuo-Kang Shao. Quoted before the game, Dr. Shao said, "we must transform our potentialities into actualites." Point guard duties were to be handled by Dr. Thomas Kaska of the Language and Literature Department. "I goose butterflies for a living, so scorching the nets is nothing new to me," commented Dr. Kaska. The other guard position was played by Dr. Clyde Houseknecht. When asked about his team's chances, Dr. Houseknecht replied, "by and large, I think our secret game plan will make the difference." Houselcnecht also declined to elaborate on the plan. "Let me interject," Mr. George Gera, the teams forward, stated, "we are all very bright people on this team. I hope you all recognize that. We have come up with a superior game plan." Rounding out the lineup and playing the other forward spot was Dr. Joseph Salsburg.

They · identity affinned . tity is defined by the gist Erik Erikson as "the accrued confidence of sameness and continuity." By about high school age, we become conscious of the identity we are developing. In the following years, we may battle with our identity either because we are uncomfortable with it, or because we have a tough time putting our thumbs on the nature of our indentity. Erikson calls the latter problem "role confusion." I have tried to discover the cause of role confusion, ancj, I believe that the problem is inherent in the name. If we see ourselves as having to perform a "role," we will naturally become confused when the identity that seems fitting for the "play" receives no applause, or worse, if the role we must play conflicts with our real impression of the world. If we are too identity conscious, we become a misrepresentation of ourselves. Identity should develop as a natural result of our choices. Our choices should not result from a preconceived, forced identity. Authentic consistency in our behavior and thinking is not the result of a contrived identity. Rather than allow our identity to result from our own personal principles, we sometimes base decisions on their ability to fit into the image we feel we project. Our identity becomes "image" when it becomes so conspicuously publicconscious. We play a role: "How would a yuppie respond to that could mean "style" strata," both of which very conscious. She aware of a public or "social this girl was was always eye. This contributed to my tiring of the role of boyfriend. I remember years ago, after one date with a girl, her friend told me that "she liked me because I had 'class."' I found that term incongruous with any impression I had of myself. Not that I didn't think I had class. But I didn't think I had displayed the connotations of her "class." But I discovered myself trying to behave consistent with this identity that she had secured for me. It was all very ridiculous. Identity gives birth to itself. And as it grows into fruition, so developsself-confidenceandproductivity. We limit ourselves when we allow another to lock us into their image of us or when we strive to project an image. We like to have some context with which to identify; it gives us balance. But society encourages us to be simple. People identify you with your job or your last name. Think once of the complexity of any human body part. Think of the brain. Why should anyone deny its complexity by forging a life that is based on a duplicated image. My friend wants to start wearing cowboys hats. But he knows everyone who knows him will make fun of him. He'd better face it. It's too late to start wearing cowboy hats.

A recounting of even these achievements, however, does little justice to a man whose true gift was to inspire dedication and excellence in thousands of students during his career. Better proof of Gasbarro's gift can be illustrated in the enviable records of these students, and the respect for him that many have exhibited in returning to the College for this concert. Among the first musical careers that blossomed under Gasbarro's tutelage was that of Richard Stoltzman, recognized internationally as one of the foremost performers in the music world today. Stoltzman, who has perfonned before audiences in the Hollywood Bowl and Carnegie Hall, will also perform at Wilkes College (i)n April 4, to honor his former instructor. Stoltzman's Wilkes appearance is scheduled around a 1987-88 concert tour that includes performances in Italy, Ger- many, and Denmark with the National, New Jersey, St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Baltimore Symphonies, and a third engagement at Carnegie Hall. Also appearing on the program is Christine Donahue, an alumna of Wilkes and second place winner of the Metropolitan Opera Auditions. Another highlight of the Gasbarro Memorial Concert will be the performance of tubist Don Butterfield, a member of the Radio City Music Hall Orchestra and the American Symphony Orchestra. Butterfield was also Gasbarro's roommate at the Julliard School. Butterfield will offer a world premiere in Gasbarro's honor--Reflextion for clarinet and tuba, which he composed himself. Reflextion is one of three world premieres set for the April 4 concert. Also premiering will be Blossom for brass composed by Wilkes professor of music, Bruce Reiprich, organizer of the event;· and A Paganini for solo clarinet. A Paganini was composed by Gasbarro's former student, Edward Yadzinski, a Wilkes alumnus and member of the Buffalo Philhar- LEGAL EAGLES AUNIVERSAL P~tufl' c •-IHllU~SA<C"•!>lUOIQ i ,.. c manic Orchestra. The memorial concert will also bring alumnus Thomas Hrynkiw back to the Wilkes stage. He has achieved international acclaim as a concert pianist, recording artist, and studio teacher in New York City. The desire of Gasbarro's students, colleagues, and friends to appear at the event in his honor was witnessed again and again by Reiprich in planning the Memorial Concert. Reiprich is not surprised, however, at this show of loyalty. "The gift of music was one that William Gasbarro gave freely," he says. "It is perhaps the finest tribute of all that so many people are willing to join together on this occasion to return that gift to him." The public is cordially invited to attend the William R. Gasbarro Memorial Concert at no charge. For those who knew Gasbarro, the event will provide a fitting opportunity to share the occasion with others who hold his memory dear. For those who did not know him, however, the concert presents just as great an opportunity to witness, through the performances of Gasbarro's students and friends, his life's work which will live through all those he bas touched. �PAGETEN _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ April 1, 1987 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ oftb ow t-----ere's more anonew: to.- t t--_ ~ co e.

Graves was arraigned in White Haven because Kane's office closes at 4 p.m. and after hours, one magistrate serves for the entire county, said Carmen Maffei, Administrator for District Justices. Feissner was the duty magistrate Friday, Maffei said. When asked about the incident, Jane Lampe-Groh, Dean of Student Affairs, said, "The appropriate College officials and boards have been dealing with and are continuing to deal with violations of College regulations." When asked if both students are still on campus, Lampe-Groh said that she didn't feel it was "appropriate" to discuss the College's disciplinary actions. "I can't speak as to the civil aspect," she said. President Christopher Breiseth agreed with Lampe-Groh's statement "There are rights of several people involved," he added, "and we have to be careful to protect their rights--his and her rights."

Many students aren't sure until they are seniors and have to get the Alumni Office signature on their senior papers. The Alumni Office is located in · the Annette Evans Alumni House, between the SUB and Stark, and is becoming an increasingly important part of the Wilkes College community. The next question is, "What exactly does the Alumni Office do?" The office is designed to maintain relations with and support Wilkes graduates, promote a sense of community among the Wilkes community, and also aid in recruitment of students. Anthony Shipula, Director of Alumni Relations, said, "We are making more progress in many areas. We are contacting more alumni. We are identifying successful alumni and telling their success stories to the alumni of Wilkes College, as well as to the public, so that each one of our graduates can be proud of our degree from Wilkes. We want people to truly recognize the quality education that we receive as students here." Shipula graduated from Wilkes in 1978 with a B.S. in Business. · He was chosen for the position during a job search. Shipula was involved in the office already as an alumni volunteer. "I felt the job was ar opportunity to expand on the worl that was being done," said Shipula "So far, we have increased ou alumni support to about 20 percenl which had fallen off significantly."

He was later apprehended and arraigned on charges of burglary, criminal attempt, and simple assault. Also last weekend, a student fell in Pickering Hall and was transported to a Philadelphia hospital for treatment. The student, according to reports, may "possibly" be paralyzed. It is speculated that the accident was alcohol related. Incidences such as these are obviously not regular occurances at Wilkes--at least not to this extent. But there does seem to be a problem: The origin ?f this pr?blem is ~ot clear. The fact is, however, t4at there 1s a certam mentality among Wilkes College students that allows such incidents to occur. This same mentality is the root of other problems on campus--vandalism, for example. But what is the school doing to prevent and/or combat this problem? The Alcohol Disciplinary Board (ADB) was established to deal with alcohol related issues and to enforce the school's anti-alcohol policy. The general consensus is that the ADB is not able to effectively handle the problem on its own. The incident over the weekend is not the first time there have been alcohol related problems on campus. It is also not the last. The other issue, breaking and entering a dorm room is unquestionably a security probl~m. \Yhat is being don~ to prevent this from happenmg agam? Wilkes College officials seem to be more concerned with the College's image than working on a possible answer to such problems. Problems are often overlooked in order to save the face of the College. But the problems will not go away by ignoring them. The College must recognize that if the actions over the weekend (and incidents in the past) are indicative of the kind of behavior the Wilkes College student is capable of then the problems will not end here. What will it take before a stronger stance is taken by the College in regard to such issues? Questions such as those posed here need to be considered. The image of the College in the final analysis may be damaged if the problems at hand are not dealt with intelligently and in a straightforward manner. trbi 11iliacou· 'Understanding is the true road to "GOD Dear Editor: [In response to "Not much is really sacred," March 19 issue of The Beacon.] To John I must say, "What?!" Your article makes many points, but in the end the overall point seems to be, "Everything you do, in an attempt to make you realize that you have a soul, that does not work should be abandoned." Where are the alternative suggestions? You say to go ahead and drink the beer, but you offer no practical suggestions. The main problem with the article is that it makes several obscure assumptions. First, that 'GOD' resides somewhere other than within ourselves; and second, that 'GOD' has a will. You say in your article that man tends to oversimplify 'GOD' and you've done so dramatically when you make these assumptions. Neither of these assumptions are true, however; in fact 'GOD' can be seen as a "higher level" source of understanding within each and every one of us. This source of understanding can be tapped into in several different ways. What should have been made more clear in your article was that if the form of self-denial being practiced does not give us a different perspective of our surroundings (and that is the Qnlx reason to practice self-denial) then attempt to try something else.

Last weekend's show merely repeated the pattern of other campus events held this semester--the Chicago City Limits show, the Dating Game, and Winter Weekend. Several letters to the editor complaining about the immaturity of Wilkes students at these events have appeared in The Beacon already, and I was determined to hold my peace and dismiss these as isolated incidents, not at all typical of Wilkes students. But no~ I'm not so sure they're unconnected. The Garner show was the last straw: it not only annoyed me, it saddened me. Call me a woman of Victorian principles, but I can't help thinking, first of all, that people can indeed have a good time while sober and, second, that something can be funny without referring to sex, sexual organs, or homosexuality. All four of the events I've mentioned have something in common: they show what can only be referred to as the general level of immaturity on campus. Think this is simply preaching on my part? Before you tum the page, take a look at these examples. At the Chicago City Limits show, during which the comedians used audience participation in many skits, almost all of the suggestions from the audience concerned sex in some form. And although Winter Weekend is, by now, probably a sore subject, consider the participants' conduct once again. Come on, folks, howevermuch you try to justify it as "good clean fun," urinating on. a wall just isn't classy. · Finally, think about the Dating Game. Many people went expecting to see something similar to the television show, perhaps a little less G-rated, but certainly not approaching something you'd find in the Penthouse Forum. Instead, we were "treated" to the sight of several backsides and one man's Fruit-of-the-Looms and more references to National Condom week than all the brochures from all the Health Services Offices nationwide. I'm sure. alcohol was a factor in the conduct at several of these events. Enough has been said about the kegs at Winter Weekend already, but somehow I don't think that sober people throw things at cars and urinate on walls, even ii they are just out to "have· a good time" with friends. As far as the Dating Game is concerned, I understand that large quantities of alcohol were present backstage so the contestants could get "prepped" for the show. It's harder to tell what role alcohol played in the other two events, but I would find it hard to believe that everyone in the audience was sober. And let's face it, most people will laugh at anything when they're drunk, even racist jokes. I'm not a prude, and this column is not an attack on either drinking or sex. What it is trying to attack is what seems to be the "Wilkes College state of mind," in which the only two things that matter are getting drunk and getting "satisfaction," as Mick Jagger put Many first to twelfth grade elementary and junior high school pupils now await one hour a week science, chemistry, and biology. volunteer tutors who will provide Tutors are also needed for free one-to-one tutoring at the elementary reading, Spanish, eleYMCA, 40 W.

The most meaningful retreat I was a part of was during the first weekend of February this year. It was held at The Fatima Center in Elmhurst. The retreat, entitled "Chrism," was open to any college-age student in Northeastern Pennsylvania. There were only four of us from Wilkes College, including the ~ampus minister to Wilkes College, Tony Vento. I didn't know what to expect from this retreat because I didn't mow anyone from the area and I wasn't familiar with how retreats .vere run in this area. But I gave it a shot, and I can't tell you how much I have benefited from it. On Friday night, forty of us, plus a brother and priest here and there, were asked to tell someone who we didn't know our life story in sixty seconds. When we were done, we told the group what we learned. This is an example of an "icebreaker." Its function is simply to make people feel more comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. After having a couple of "icebreakers," we met in small groups, consisting of five or six people, with two group leaders in each small group. A talk was given on values by my group leader. What he did was explain his values and how they have changed after several experiences in life. We would react in small groups to what he said and talk about our values. Saturday was the longest day but the most fulfilling. Several _talks were given on such topics as friendship, God, self-confidence, and love. Saturday night at about 9:00 we had a penance service. Prayers were read, music was played, and an opportunity for reconciliation was given. To me, the reconciliation service was the most rewarding because it gave me time to reflect on everything that was said on the weekend and time to turn my thoughts to myself and think. The music affected me the most, probably because I am an amateur musician. Everyone had a good time; it was evident in the singing and laughter. Sunday morning we had a ~losing _ mass and said our goodbyes. I still keep in touch with the people I met on the retreat. Students from University of Scranton, Bloomsburg, King's, Misericordia, University of Pennsylvania, and Mansfield all made the retreat worthwhile by sharing what was important to them with others and by having a good time. It's difficult for me to explain exactly what a retreat is. The only thing I can say is that it's what we all make of it, and the only way to find out is to come on the retreat April 3, 4, and 5. We're leaving sometime Friday after dinner and returning Sunday after mass. I can't force anyone to go; I can only share my experience with you and hope you'll be curious enough and open-minded enough to come on this retreat and share yourself. It's a risk, but it's a risk worth taking. Office from p. 1 of the most in office is to 1 the graduates. 13,438 active al list.

Shipula would like more alumni to come to campus to recruit and support the College to high school students. "What we did this year, in cooperation with the Admissions Office, was contact alumni ·and had them attend college fairs," said Shipula. Eleven alumni attended 12 college fairs, and Wilkes received 100 percent support from the alumni asked to attend. "We feel this type of thing is important," Mr. Shipula said, "because it helps the College grow." Shipula has even more plans to expand and improve the Alumni Office and its work. For next year's Homecoming, he hopes to book a big name into the Kirby Center for the entertainment of alumni and students alike. As you can see, the Alumni Office does much more than sign senior papers. Developed for new graduates in 1979, this program is approximately three months in length. It allows each graduate nurse to form a one-to-one alliance with an experienced RN. Special clinical skills are first learned in a simulated setting, and then applied in clinical practice.

Many buildings which are used for dorms and classes are nearly three-quarters of a century old. The river common area is a site for a nice nap on a lazy spring day. One person carelessly tosses a wrapper on the ground, then another, then another, then another. Someone throws a Burger King wrapper out the window. Leaves from fall still lie on the ground and hedges are growing new shoots. This means college students, faculty and administration should chip in and help restore the beauty of the campus. Circle K members and administration are discussing the date of Campus Beautification Day. This function will be open to everyone and take place on an April weekend. Students on the Campus Beautification Committee who attended the event last year said it involves trimming hedges, picking up garbage and planting shrubs. People will be asked to bring their own tools.

Are you feeling just a little adventurous? If so, Gary Fabiano and Gregg Shimp might have something that will interest you. The featured DJs for the second installment of the WCLH spotlight are the two energetic gentlemen who are responsible for the Punk and Hard Core show that airs Thursday nights from 9 p.m. until 12 a.m. Are you wondering just what hard core and punk is? I am sure most of you, at one time or another, have heard some kind of punk or hard core music. Punk is an original music movement of the 1970's. A major cause of the punk movement, according to Gregg Shimp, the man responsible for the punk influences of the show, was the high rate of unemployment in England. People were dissatisfied and needed an outlet to express this disillusionment with the system. This earlier music differs from hard core in that it is is more political. Gregg is very familiar with the history of punk music. He says that punk began, n0t with an English group as most of us are prone to think, but with an American band, The Ramones, of all people. The Ramones took their style of music to England and spawned what developed into modem punk. Also, a major element in the development of punk was disco music. Says Gregg, "punk started as a reaction to disco. It was so completely opposite from it." From punk came hard core. According to Gary Fabiano, the hard core fan of the pair, hard core music is "loud, fast music which I think gets a point across. That's one of the reasons I listen. They (the groups) have a lot of good things to say." This music is considered a later form of punk. It deals with vital issues such as toxic waste, war, and nuclear weapons. Gregg's definition of hard core calls it "a little harder and faster. The music has energy and gives the listener energy." Gary Fabiano, a sophomore art major from Neptune, New Jersey, has been at the station since he began at Wilkes. Says Gary, "I wanted to expose people to the kind of music I like, so I approached them with a hard core show. I didn't know much about punk but I met up with Gregg who is really knowledgeable in early punk. We combined and have had a killer show ever since. Gary remembers that his musical taste really began with groups like The Who. Then, in the 9th or 10th grade, he began listening to hard core and has been listening from that time on. Some of Gary's favorite music now includes 7 Seconds, Minor Threat, Uniform Choice, and Youth of Today. He was "a rebellious type" in high school and that may have something to do with his choice in music. "Hard core and punk is like an outlet for kids that are sick of doing what everyone else does. . .tired of conforming. The music reduces tension," relates Gary. In the future, Gary wants to get into the art field. "My concentration in art is sculpting so I'd like to work somewhere in the art profession until I can establish myself as a sculptor," Gary says of his future plans. "More importantly, I don't want to do commercial art because I don't want to be part of the rat race." Gary feels that WCLH has helped in his future plans because, "it looks gogd in your background. It is also good to know you have your FCC license and can be a DJ anywhere in the country." Gary also feels that he is gaining a sense of responsibilty from his position at WCLH. Gregg Shimp, the other show. Gregg began listening to punk when he was in the seventh grade. Suprisingly, that was the first music he ever really got into. His favorites include The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Dead Boys, and especially the Buzzcocks. Gregg thinks that one of the most important aspects of WCLH I II iences at the station will because, "if art doesn't career I could always use iL' Much like Tobino's Walton's (last week's feat feelings about their music, feels that the exposure IO hard core music is quite li the area.

He began getting interested in radio when he worked at a station in his hometown during the summer. He thought it was fun and knew he wanted to keep doing it at school. Gregg began at WCLH with a regular "new music" show but then met up with Gary and they pooled their respective talents to produce their present is that they play all new music. "That's what's cool about the station. They play only new music, no Top 40." This format, of course, gives a show like Gary's and Gregg's a chance. It can be said that the hard core and punk show on WCLH is one of a kind. In the future, Gregg's plans differ Gary's.

Acquired stupidity, while Pisces-swallow your prid~ a Skinner box deeply engendered by our early schooling, is not arrested in school. it pervades society. Some people proceed blindly throughout their entire life, while some do so only certain times of the day. I've narrowed the cause of this temporary numbness to a fundamental hang-up--the fear of being in an environment that we have not chosen. And, consequently, the fear of appearing inadequate in this threatening atmosphere. If we enter such an atmosphere conscious of all its elements, we can avoid acquired stupidity. That is, if we seize even the most tedious tasks with an eagerness to control our situation, we will not become conditioned like the student or churchgoer who feels he is being kept from someplace he'd much rather be. To the blindly compliant, the Principle of Buoyancy is just another dumb formula; the Lord's Prayer is just another empty recitation; employment is just another tedious duty. I've found acquired stupidity very visible at the restaurant I cook in on weekends. The two waitresses I work with are fun, imaginative people until they step into my kitchen. Then ignorance seems to usurp the turf of their minds and builds a solid lean-to there. Locked into what they have become conditioned to consider their "job-description," they enter a kitchen that is as remote as a classroom, and their effort to get the job done and appear adequate leaves my kitchen a mess. Jars, spoons, and dishes get scattered all over my cutting board. All the elements of the kitchen are but obstacles to them. They must shove them out of their path. "Candy, that's a lid," I'll say; "It goes on that jar." This appraoch fails. The kitchen has little in common with the one they have at home, and its contents are neaµy fit into this category--"things I don't want to know about." I hav~ found an approach that works. I have transformed the kitchen into a huge Skinner Box. B.F. Skinner devised a method of modifying the behavior of pigeons by conditioning them to respond to certain stimuli. He borrowed the idea from Pavlov who was able to condition "natural" responses in dogs. But Skinner's technique "shaped" behavioral responses. If a pigeon pecked a certain spot in the Skinner Box, it was rewarded. After much pecking and rewarding, the pigeon would catch on to the connection between the peck and the reward.

Chris, a senior from Central Moreland, Pennsylvania, has held the position of General Station Manager for WCLH, the radio station here at Wilkes, for the past year. Her duties at the station entail "the day to day operation of the station." This day to day operation includes overseeing the duties of the other members of the staff and the DJs and generally making sure that everything runs properly. One of her main goals is to "create a feeling of belonging among the DJs." After all, morale is important Perhaps the most vital part of Chris' job involves the public relations aspect of her position because it has so much to do with her future career. Chris is pursuing a double major in English and Communications at Wilkes and is interested in getting into public relations as a career. In her positon at WCLH, she is responsible for sending out announcements, making sure that WCLH events are wellpublicized and noticed, and working to maintain the station's image. Chris noted some of the things that have been going on with WCLH. This year )they instituted a news team and a list of the Top 35 are just beginning for Wilkes College Circle K. Last month, they celebrated their 25th anniversary with a banquet at the Sheraton Crossgates. This mon th , there was celebrating of a different sort. Over the weekend of March 13-15, Wilkes Circle K basked in the radiance of a fine year at the Pennsylvania DiStrict Convention in Altoona. The Wilkes Circle K'ers, advised on campus by Mr. Phil Tuhy, showed that th ey are truly one of the best clubs in the state, bringing home nine individual and club honors. They took firS t place in single service with th e winning project, "Special Day wi th Special People." The event was an all-day picnic wi th the physically and mentally handicapped of the area. The chairpeople were Michelle Ratchford and Cheryl Kukoski. Circle K also took first in the .Inter- club category. An Interclub is achieved when at least three club members from a group meet w1·th members from different clubs. It is measured in total hours per people participating. This year's winning total was a startling 43,000 hours. In comparison, last year's winning total (also won by Wilkes) was 6,500 hours. Wilkes took second place in the Achievement category. This category is measured by the most service proiects. They also took ' thircLin the Scrapbook competition. This year's scrapbook was designed by Michael Fender and Cheryl Kukoski and had a 25th anniversary theme. Individuals also stood out when this year's awards were announced. Debbie Pavlico garnered Outstanding President; Laura View copped the honors of Outstanding Secretary, and Stephen Morris came out on top with the award of Outstanding Treasurer. Convention time also brings with it the election of a new District Board. Wilkes was not short in the honors there either. The present Distict Secretary, year.

In addition, WCLH celebrated its 15th anniversary and hosted a party that brought back some illustrious alumni back to the station. Also highlighting this year was a visit from DJs from Bloomsburg University and most recently, a hoagie sale to raise funds for the student-run station. Chris was responsible for making sure all these things ran smoothly. Christine, a member of the Who's Who for 1987, has always been active in campus related activites. For the past three years she has been involved in many activites, including Cue 'N' Curtain, chorus, and the Cap and Bell singers. She has also taken voice and piano lessons, worked with the school musicals, and is a church organist on weekends. In addition, she worked at WCLH as music director, and is currently dorm president of Doane Hall. In addition to her involvement with campus activites, Chris holds several part-time jobs, including one at the radio station WEMR (am1460). Chris works at an internship at WBRE, TV28. Obviously, these jobs help her in her role as Station Manger at WCLH. In the future, Chris intends to keep working at her part time jobs and eventually hopes to earn a position in public relations at either a radio or television station. WCLH could prove to be a help to her in these plans. If you want to hear more of Chris you can catch her radio show on Tuesdays from 7 a.m. until 9 a.m. •• •• •• •• ••• •• ••• •• ••• • Your # 1 Mail Order Source for Brand Name Computer Hardware and Software at -Unbelievably Low Discount Prices.-Check out our every day low prices.STUDENT DISCOUNTS ...

He placed the volunteer on the table and started making lewd and obscene gestures and facial expressions. This was uncalled for, to say the least Another fine example of Garner's brand of "humor" was his hypnotized, dancing "banana." The banana danced behind a cloth in front of his pelvic area, imitating a certain part of male anatomy that was hardly appropriate. After all, the illusion would have held just as much weight without the lewd gestures, so why include them? At one point after the onset of the banana business a mother and her young son got up and left the CPA. Granted, the show was a college function, but still is that what college is focused upon? Overall, excluding the offcolor humor, which focused upon racial slurs, sexual humor, and drug jokes, the magic was acceptable. The one good thing that can be said was that the show was only one hour long, just long enough to offend, but not long enough to cause a riot igh fashion for Spring Break! Recently, the Center for Instructional Communications announced its intention to maintain operation during the 1987-1988 academic year. The program recently received funding from the Faculty Development Committee, enabling the Center to proceed in its effort to improve the quality of classroom teaching at Wilkes College. CIC is located in Chapin Hall, room 10, and is under the codirection of Ms. Jane ElmesCrayhall and Dr. Bradford Kinney. The goal of the program is to provide faculty with means other than official peer review or tenure evaluation procedures for improving their teaching skills. These skills include the areas of voice projection, lecturing styles and format, and reading student feedback. Faculty members who request the service open their classrooms to the observation of either Dr. _Kinney or Ms. Elmes-Crayhall and are provided with a professionally written evaluation, as well as video material. This video material will. be reviewed by the participant and the director on a confidential, one-toone basis. "The quality of teaching at Wilkes is part of its dynamic, and we believe the Center contributes to that dynamic because faculty are helping faculty improve their teaching," commented Elmes. "The common experience we share is a desire to improve our teaching methods," she added. To date, the Center has provided a total of 29 observations and tapings with a variety of departments participating, including the Biology, Chemistry, Commerce and Finance, Engineering, Nursing, and Speech, Communications and Theater Arts Departments. The Writing Lab has also particiapted. Dr. Kurt Bottjer, a first year instructor from the Biology Departn1ent, was one of the ten faculty who sought the experience of the CIC. Considering his relatively new position, Bottjer felt that the service would provide him with a fresh approach to instruction at Wilkes. "In my opinion, the Center serves as an excellent monitoring service. I turned to the program in order to improve my own teaching abilities," commented Bottjer. "With this type of constructive criticism, a teacher is able to perform more effectively," he added. "I think it's important to have professors · with dynamic and energetic teaching skills," said senior communications/English major Chris Bolcarovic.

Coach Bob Duliba and his baseball team just may be on to something this year. There, I said it. There may have been no joy in Colonelville last year, but this year, baseball fans, will be different. The . new season brings with it some new faces, a position change or two, the further development of some talented people and, most importantly, a winning attitude. This team means buisness, folks. Forget that the Crusaders canned them in a doubleheader on Saturday and the Huskies humbled them again on Sunday. Forget the 24 record. The Colonels slow start may be attributed to a lack of realization of just how good this team can be. A little confidence goes a long way, guys. We know that you are good and you certainly know it. Now is the time to prove it This is quite a turn around from just one year ago. We might as well refer to last year's campaign as the "Navy" season because every game was an adventure. Coach Duliba will finally be able to throw out all of those boxes of AlkaSelzer he collected last April. It seems as though over this past hoiday _break, several of the Colonels found where they had misplaced their bats and gloves during last season. That is very good news for Coach Bob Duliba and for us fans who are yearning for a legitimate contender to cheer for. The heck with cautious optimism, fans. Break out the banners, pull up your favorite lawn chair and cheer the Colonels on as they head into what promises to be a very successful year.

XXXIX No. 18 ampe-Groh named as Dean by Eliz.abeth Mazzullo Named Dean of Student Affairs last Monday, Jane Lampe-Groh sees her new position as "a challenge that rm really excited about" This . is Lampe-Groh's eighteenth year at Wilkes. She has served as Dean of Women, Associate Dean or' Student Affairs, and most recently, since Arthur Hoover's death, as Acting Dean of Student Affairs. Lampe-Groh explained how she came to accept her new position. "On that day in December [after Hoover's death], I wouldn't have given it even odds that I would ,· apply. I didn't know if I was going to like it," she said. "As the days went on, I was working harder, and I really liked it" "When I found out I liked it, I didn't know what to do," she added Originally, a national search was planned to find a new dean. But, Lampe-Groh said, the Friday before her position was announced, she was talking with Vice-president Gerald Hartdagen, who said that if she wanted the job, the College was in a position to offer it to her. Lampe-Groh sees an important lesson in this. "I think you grow into things sometimes," she said, "and sometimes things happen that force you to grow." To Lampe-Groh, this position is "a continuation in a career I have enjoyed immensely." Lampe-Groh talked about how she got in,to a career in student affairs. "I trained to be a speech teacher," she explained, but she went on to graduate school immediately after college. While she was in graduate school, she said, the president of her undergraduate school called her and asked if she would come back and run the residence life program. "Once I got into it," LampeGroh said, "after about three months I realized I was really hooked." "I sort of came in through the back door but decided I never wanted to find the front door to get out of it," she laughed She sees her new position as one of greater responsibility. "I see this job in many ways as the job of an ombudsman," she added, "as someone who has to keep representing student concerns to the rest of the College community, as well as having students accept their share of responsibility." Since she was on vacation last week, Lampe-Groh said she hasn't had time to formulate definite plans and goals for the Student Affairs Office. But, she said, "I want to pull together a lot of areas that will help in the holistic development of students." She added that she wanted to create a "working partnership" with other campus offices. "There is a superb group of students to work with here," LampeGroh added. "They are generally very reasonable."

According to Paul Adams, · le Dean of Student Affairs, !WO had parked their car on River Street across from Hall and were walking the CPA. A man was · ga few feet in front of them. The students were having an nt conversation," Adams when the man turned and asked angrily, "What did you say?" · g to Adams, the man then up gravel and threw it at He grabbed one student by air. The second girl screamed, a car drove past, and the man let go and continued walking up the street, Adams said. The two women ran into Darte. When faculty and students came outside, the man was gone, Adams said. The students were shaken up but neither was hurt. A description of the man was given to the police. He was described as being in his mid-30s, six feet tall, and thin, with light brown wavy hair. He was wearing blue jeans and a dark blue down jacket Police talked with the students and commenced a search for the man. As of Tuesday morning, Adams had heard nothing about the investigation. Last week's Beacon editorial dealt with teacher evaluation forms filled out by the students at the end of each semester. In theory, these forms depict an accurate picture of the teacher's and course's strengths and weaknesses. But do they? This is the question being asked by many students, faculty, and the members of TREC, the Teacher Recognition and Evaluation Committee. The committee has been formed to evaluate the accuracy of the forms used by Wilkes. Wilkes, along with 25 other institutions, use · ICES evaluation forms designed by the University of Illinois. The forms are designed with some questions which are standardized and universal. The different departments can add other questions to these. Along with addressing the accuracy of the form, the committee is also considering the possibility of alternative student evaluation methods. The committee is chaired by Susan Behuniak-Long, of the Political Science Department The other members of the committee are Patricia Heaman, Language and . Literature; M. U. Farooq, Engineering; Walter Karpinich, Language an<l Literature; Pam Baker, Nursing; and Debbie PraterZehner, Director of the Academic Support Center. There are two students on the committee; they are Justine Baker and Tom Mineo. How are the committee members selected? The faculty elected Behuniak-Long, Farooq, Karpinich, and Baker. Heaman and Prater-Zehner are administrative selections. The students on TREC are selected by fellow students. Behuniak-Long stressed that all of the members of the committee were in favor of student evalmtion of teachers. If ICES forms are not used, u'len members want a variation on this theme. However, there are faculty and administrative members at Wilkes who are against student evaluations in any form. "The majority of students do take them [the forms] seriously," said Behuniak-Long. "I do think the editorial was right when it said a lot of the students don't understand them. Arc the questions clear? For example, what does does a phrase such as 'high academic standards' mean? This may be a very ambiguous phrase. This is an example of what the committee is discussing." Continued on p. 5 �March 19, 1987 PAGE TWO .

Openness:key to AIDS cure The latest news on combatting the worldwide Acquired Immune Deficiancy Syndrome (AIDS) epidemic was announced yesterday. A vaccine developed to stimulate the production . of antibodies that can fight off the virus will be tested on humans in the United States for the first time. However, despite this advancement, a proven vaccine, according to leading experts, does not seem likely for at least five to ten years--maybe not before the next century. The AIDS virus is not selective when chosing its victims. Even here in the Wyoming Valley there have been 15 cases reported since 1981. Nine of these victims have already died. The situation is not getting better, either. On the contrary, the number is increasing daily. Until a ctll'e or a vaccine is found, the only way to combat the disease is by using "preventive medicine." For people to know how to avoid contact 1with the virus and therefore reduce their chances of acquiring the disease, they first must be educated. In November of last year, the United States Surgeon General C. Everett Koop "urged an allout effort to educate the populace, beginning with young children, to the dangers of AIDS and ways to avoid them." A community effort must be made in educating society in order to have a chance against-such a killer. The effort should involve society on a national, state, and local level. In early February a local San Fransisco television station (an NBC affiliate) took a monumental step in being the first station, other than cable stations, to broadcast condom commercials. Condoms help in avoiding the sexual transmission of the AIDS virus. Since this pioneering decision, a Detroit and an Indianapolis station (both ABC affiliates) have followed the lead. Some magazin~ have also loosened restriction.s on ads and are also featuring the ads. This sort of initiative should not only be commended but is necessary. When dealing with such an epidemic, there is no room for harsh judgements on the morality of such advertisements. The commercials do not promote promiscuity but responsible sexual practices. A step must be taken to prevent further spreading of the disease, and it must be taken regardless of what moral beliefs it offends. The fact of the matter at hand is that AIDS is here to stay--until we pull together to cure the disease. · This brings us back to our community--the Wyoming Valley and more directly Wilkes College. Both the local community and Wilkes have taken important steps in the right direction. Seminars have been held, pamphlet information is available, and films have been shown in order to make the community more aware of what the disease is all about, how it is transmitted, and how to prevent transmission. Steps such as these that promote an openness in understanding the disease and that set aside puritanical bapiers should and must continue.

I am a 21 year old senior and I am all for having a good time, but it is especially irritates me when I see and bear college-aged students drinking to get drunk. It further irritates me when I see so many underage drinkers on our campus. It seems that our students equate the words beer and college week-ends. I am aware of the new drinking policy and commend those who made an effort in controlling our drinking problem. But there hasn't been much of a change.

You are not alone. Many students have difficulties in college, whether they are academic, social, or spiritual problems. They need to turn to someone for advice. But, many times, younger students have trouble consulting adults about such difficulties. They need to talk to someone their age. To deal with this problem, Mark Sowcik, Director of Counseling Services, worked on the idea ofa "peerreferral." This newly formed network consists of Sowcik and eight students: Tara Haas, Brenda Gerharb, Marie Evert, Kim Supper, and Frank Ketschek, who are dorm students; Laura View and Steve Morris, commuters; and Sue Novobilski, off-campus resident These students will serve as peer counselors when fellow students have problems or when they want to talk to someone. This group takes trips to local social agencies to learn more about social problems. So far, the group has traveled to the Clear Brook Education Center, the First Valley Hospital, and the Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center. A speaker from the Domestic Violence Center has addressed the group, and the counselors will hear a speaker from the Victims' Resource Center. The peer referral group meets on Thursdays at 11 a.m. on the second floor of the S.U.B. Tom is a senior electrical engineering major at Wilkes. He likes running, skiing, dancing, and listening to music, just like most other college students. Tom is different, though. He is a student obtaining a college education, but he is also receiving military training to prepare for a career as an officer in the United States Air Force. Tom is just one of more than 100 cadets in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC). The local program is based at Wilkes College and serves King's, Bloomsburg, University of Scranton, Marywood, Misericordia, Luzerne County Community College, the area Penn State schools, Keystone Junior College, and Lackawanna Junior College. Several programs are available to students featuring scholarships awarded on a competitive basis. These scholarships include tuition, $100 tax-free each month, book costs, and lab and incidental fees. College freshmen and sophomores may compete for two, two-and-onehalf, thr(?e, or three-and-one-half year scholarships. They are available to students with a G .P.A. of at least 2.5 majoring in physics, math, computer science, or engineering. Scholarships are also available for those qualified in the pilot, navigator, and missile career fields. Nursing scholarships are also available for the last two and three years of study. A limited number of scholarships in pre-med, foreign languages, and business/accounting are also available. Activities available through AFROTC include base visits throughout the country. Functions at Wilkes include a semi-formal dinner dance, a military DiningOut, parties, and numerous public service activities. To participate, you should enroll in an AFROTC course along with your normal academic courses. The best way to gain maximum advantage from AFROTC is to complete the Four-Year Program · which leads to an Air Force commission at graduation. During the first two years of AFROTC, called the General Military Course (GMC), you become familiar with the program and the history of the Air Force. After two ears in the GMC ou will participate in a fourtraining course at one of 13 Air Force bases throu United States.

The administration should be aware of the potential abuses of the forms and of their limitations. "Our committee recommended that students be in charge of distributing ICES," said Behuniak- Long. "The forms should never be in the hands of faculty. This would make it a student responsibility. If we are using students in this way, there should be a return, perhaps a faculty honor roll which could be printed in The Beacon. This is controversial because many people feel the system isn't valid. But the students are being used as tools and are getting nothing back." Drug tests at college (CPS)--Even as some athletes gan suing to stop having to take drug tests, a Tennessee state legislator has introduced a bill that would require anyone who wants to attend one of the state's colleges to be tested for drug use. Duke University is the only other campus in the U.S . to have toyed with the ide.a of making all students submit to drug tests. The ide.a, which was dropped at Duke last fall, isn't very popular at the University of Tennessee. "The law hasn't passed," said Don Eastman, assistant to UT's chancellor, "and we'd certainly resist it if it did." "Basically," added Hedy Weinberg of the American Civil Liberties Union in Nashville, "it treats the innocent and guilty alike. It's patently unconstitutional because it doesn't ask 'probable cause."' "Probable cause" is the legal doctrine that authorities can't interfere in citizens' lives with warrants or searches unless there is a reason to suspect the citizens are guilty of something. Tennessee Sen. Bill Richardson, who introduced the bill-which would bar applicants who the Secretary. Authority to tested positive for drugs from disapprove recommendations for attending any of Tennessee's 24 award of the AFOEA is delegated to public campuses--doesn't agree his. idea· has any re.al constitutional major commanders. The primary reason for problems. His bill, he said, "places the establishing the AFOEA was to · · provide an award similar to the AFOUA to recognize the achievements and accomplishments of Air Force organizations or activities that do not meet the eligibility requirements of the AFOUA. TC receives d happens when they are used with "rotating-teacher" courses, in which instructors change to discuss certain topics. This method is often utilized by the Nursing Department According to Behuniak-Long, "The great temptation of the ICES forms is that they give you a number to work with. Numbers seem like exact instruments. But that is not re.ally so. The exactness of the form depends on how they fear of detection out before" young people, and thus could convince them not to use drugs. Richardson said it's unfair to test only athletes. "I don't like singling out athletes." The fairest law, he added, would "cover • everyone, and not single out any one group." A similar concern last summer moved Duke Athletic Director Tom Butters to propose making all students subject to the same kind of random drug tests his athletes had to take. A faculty committee, however, quickly rejected the idea, judging drug abuse wasn't as rampant among nonathletes as among athletes. At the University of Tennessee, Daily Beacon reporter Paul Kay thinks there is "limited drug abuse on campus. Maybe 20 to 25 percent [of the students] indulge in drugs. I think the alcohol problem has to be addressed." Athletes on other campuses, meanwhile, are resisting drug tests more frequently. Athletes at Stanford, Colorado, and Northeastern University in Boston have gone to court to try to halt drug testing, which became widespread this school year in the wake of the June cocaine-related death of Maryland basketball star Len Bias. The "testing of student athletes without probable cause for suspicion is an o_utrageous violation of privacy rights guaranteed by state and federal laws," asserted ACLU attorney David Miller. If the ACLU wins all .three cases, he added, "we will pretty much do away with drug-testing programs." Courts in the District of Columbia, New . York state, and New Jersey already have declared public school mandatory urinalysis programs illegal. But Northeastern lawyer Vincent J. Lembo thinks his testing program should remain because "athletes should be beyond reproach." "The university," he added, "has the right to institute drug testing in the interest of students' health and in the interest of fair competition." "More than five percent and less than 50 percent" of the nation's colleges now test their athletes for drugs, estimated lawyer Ben Rich of the University of Colorado. Opponents of Richardson's bill are confident it won't become law. "I'm sure it won't pass, said Weinberg of the Tennessee ACLU. While private institutions-schools, organizations, etc.--can make up some of their own rules, public institutions like colleges must comply strictly with the U.S. constitution, she explained. ,.;J );rlJ GREAT SUMMER JOBS IN NEW ENGLAND r:np, Cod and the Island, '!f 1Va11/11cket mu/ Jlartlw 's VintJ'ard Thousands ol interesting and varied summer jobs are waiting to be filled.

A basic thesis of Western theology is that God made man in llis image. I think a f!l<>re accurate • IS really sacred assessment should state that man has fashioned God according to man's liking. Man has vainly seated himself at the center of the universe, and while he professes to see himself as something more than flesh, his "spiritual" activity is very "visible." This spiritual myopia can be seen very clearly this time of year. It is spring, the season of renewal. The season of the white chocolate crucifix ...if you are not giving up sweets, that is. This is the time when people form spin-offs of their New Year's resolutions in the name of self-denial: "I'm not drinking. It's killing me but I only have one month left," is the type of thing people say. _ Self-denial is a means of bringing ourselves out of the material and into the spiritual. It bridges all religions. The Hindus call it "detachment" They believe that until one completely detaches himself from the world of forms, he will live a succession of lives inside various living bodies. Self-denial is meant to affirm our spiritual nature. It is not an _eD<l . in itself, not a punishment Albert Camus, in his essay Nor is it a display.

As a matter of fact it was Jonathon Edwards who gave him the best advice, which he passes on to other budding mus1c1ans. "Play anywhere, for anyone, anytime, for any amount of money."

Landry showed the versatility of which stardom is made. He spent his two and a half hours on stage playing originals and old favorites by such artists as Eric Clapton, Dan Fogelberg, Bruce Springsteen ("some guy from New Jersey" he told the crowd on his last tour of Germany), James Taylor, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cat Stevens (whom Landry sounds very much like), Elton John, and Billy Joel. His version of Harry Chapin's "Taxi" even brought tears to some members of the audience. On the other end of the spectrum, he brought peals of laughter out of the audience with a funny "serious" version of the "Brady Bunch Theme." He closed the show with the "most popular song on college campuses today," Don McLean's "American Pie." The most impressive part of the show was his fine mix of popular music and original material. Of the music he performed, six of the songs were written by him, all of which were quite good. His song topics ranged from love (old reliable), growing up, luck (or lack there of), and a ballad, that served as a wedding gift for his father, that tells of the qope to close a communication gap. In between the songs he placed his unique brand of humor. He joked about K-Mart, shower massages, Pee-Wee Herman (DOOR!), and the only survivor of major airline crashes-the little black box.· Overall, it was an absolutely fantastic show and a smart move on the part of the Programming Board to bring him back.

The DJs provide a valuable service to the Wilkes campus and to the community at large. Without them, there would be a substantial void on the radio waves. The Beacon would like to give recognition to those men and women who work to keep us entertained morning, noon, and night The first installment features two of WCLH's most popular DJs, Mark Tobino and Tom Walton. For those of you not familiar with their show, or even with the station in general, Mark and Tom are responsible for the hours between 9:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on Tuesday nights. For those three hours a week, the airwaves carry the sounds of rap and extended dance music to the College and beyond. The first hour of the show is dedicated to rap music. Says Mark Tobino, onehalf of the Tuesday night team, "We are the only station that plays rap in the area, aside from those that play The Beastie Boys or Run DMC who made the Top 40. The music here (in the Valley) is at least three months behind the rest of the country. You have to go to New York City to get this kind of music." The second two hours of the show are dedicated to extei;ided play dance music. These are generally different versions of Top 40 songs heard only in clubs. Mark cites many Madonna mixes as good examples of this type of music. The two DJs are as important SNACK BAR SPECIAi, Mar. 23-27 MONDAY Beef Nocxlle Soup Chicken Nuggets Cauliflower TUESDAY .

I am responsible inventory director. In this position, he was responsible for keeping track of the over 6,000 albums that WCLH has. One summer, he visited a station in his hometown and decided that being a DJ would be fun. He got together with Tom (who was his roommate at one time) to do the show. Mark, in fact, brought up the idea for the specialty show. He likes rap but his favorite portion of _the show is the dance portion. These "passionate panasonic paces," as he calls them, are what is hot in New York dance clubs right now. In fact, it can safely be said that WCLH is perhaps one of the only sources for this type of music in the area. In addition to his duties at WCLH, which include assistant music director, Mark is also a member of the Wilkes College Soccer team, the Alcohol Disciplinary Board, and a member of the Mark Tobino, left, and Tom cast of the soon to be released Wilkes/King's production of Hotel for keeping in contact with record Paradiso.

Well, I have no intention of telling my age. Let's . just say I am no longer in the blush of youth. That should give you some idea of why I felt so old when I reentered college. For many years, my long range goal was to finish my education. As the years passed and my life took a different course, I did not seem destined to return to school to get that "piece of paper." The idea was placed far back in my mind until it seemed forgotten. My family brought up the subject of college often and I defensively had a quick retort. I always had an excuse. I felt I couldn't compete with the younger students, I didn't have the finances, my job was adequate, I supported myself, and I didn't want to become a poor student again. The bottom line was I felt I was too old and set in my ways to change. This quieted their badgering me, but it didn't quiet me. Deep inside I had the yearning; but I was afraid to take the first giant step. A friend encouraged me to return to school on a part-time basis. Note, I said encouraged me in subtle ways.

Vetovitz, a sophmore engineering management major, was offered the position as chairman of the Board last March. He commented, "The previous chairman resigned and I was offered the job.

Vetovitz's job as chairman of the Board consists of overseeing all of the activities put on by the Programming Board. He is in charge of . checking into and choosing mini-concerts and for making all of the preparations before, during, and after the concert.

"Providing quality entertainment as well as getting more students, faculty, and administration is my primary goal for the Programming Board this semester," commented Vetovitz. "The Programming Board is a strong organization, but it could be better if more students would get involved. Next semester we are going to recruit people at Club Day," stated Vetovitz. Vetovitz would like to remind students that the Programming Board's meetings are every Thursday at 12 p.m. on the second floor of the Student Union Building. Everyone is encouraged to attend, whether they are a member of the Board or not. The Programming Board has definitely become a stronger organization with.Vetovitz as chairman of the Board.

What should he do? The. advice given him was posed as a question. How old would he be if he finished · medical school? 48 years old. How old would he be if he didn't go to medical school? The same age. I have a close friend who I have been trying to'persuade to take some college courses. She keeps coming up with the same reasons I did. . In the meantime, she's developed a depression, is clouded with family problems, and is stuck in a dead-end job. She is afraid to take a risk and is just playing it safe. I think of her and wonder if the only thing more dangerous than taking a risk is not taking it. Maybe, as Garrison Keillor has remarked, you're supposed to get reckless as you grow older.

Women's soccer is the first sport to be added to the Willces program since softball was picked up in 1976. Willces now offers 14 intercollegiate sports, eight men's and six women's.

Now, thanks to Tara Haas and Sue Barr, lacrosse is returning to Wilkes · . in the form of a women's lacrosse club. Lacrosse is a rough, fast moving sport that was first played by North American Indians. It resembles ice hockey in it's roughness and its use of sticks, goals and face-offs at the beginning of every period. The playing field used is 110 yards for men and 90 to 110 yards for women. There are ten players on a men's tearlt: 3 attack men, 3 midfielders, 3 defensemen and 1 goalie. A women's team consists of 12 players. Men's games are 60 minutes long and are divided into four 15 minute quarters, while women's games are 50 minutes, divided into two 25 minute halves with a IO . minute intermission between halves. In men's lacrosse, body contact is allowed, but it is not allowed in women's lacrosse. In the sport, each player carries a stick with a net on the end of it. The goalie's stick ·has the biggest net so that it is easier to catch the ball. Midfielders have the longest sticks, while the attaclcmen have the shortest. Also, the goalie is the only player who can touch the ball with his or her hands. Because lacrosse season has already started, the Wilkes club will not compete this year. This year's focus will be on learning. "It's hard to get things started in the first year," says Tara Haas, co-founder of the club, "people don't think they'll be able to do anything." Sue Barr, the other co-founder, says, "We want to get people interested this year so we can get a team together for next year. It's open to anybody. We11 teach you how to play." "Only two people have signed up, but 11 or 12 have told me they were interested. That's enough for a team, but we'll also need substitutes," says Haas. If you are interested in joining the women's lacrosse club, contact Tara Haas at ext. 134 or 829-8490 or Sue Barr ar ext. 115. Practices will be held in the empty lot next to the gym.

Miller, Mejias, Rome 20 to tourney Colonels look for success at Nationa by Bill Kem This weekend all of the top wrestlers in the country will be at the University of Maryland to compete in the NCAA championships. Coach John Reese is very excited about the upcoming event. 'Tm pleased with taking three people, especially two champs (Andre Miller and Craig Rome)," Reese commented. Reese feels that if Dennis Mejias, Miller and Rome wrestle the way they did at Eastems, they could wrestle with anyone. One person that could bring much recognition to Wilkes is senior _Andre Miller. "A lot will depend on what seed Andre gets," Reese stated. "He was seeded 5th last year and he could go with anyone . in the country," he continued. This will be the end of a great career for Andre. He set many records that will be hard to top. "This year has been great. I have accomplished many of my goals and have proven that I could do better than last year," Miller commented. There is a phrase that states "you get out of life what you put into it."

When asked how he is going to feel when it is all over, Andre said, "I enjoyed wrestling at Wilkes and I am going to miss it."

Nolan, a 6'0 Freshman guard from Williamsport, has already made quite an impact on the Wilkes basketball program. In just one year, he has set a standard for himself that ensures future success. Nolan was the third leading scorer on the team. He scored 371 points for an average of 17.1 per game. He also shot an incredible 76.6 from the free throw line, including hitting 22 in a row at one point.

"We do have more than our fair share of vandalism on campus. It contributes to damage." He has only been here since August and could not really compare the vandalism at the State University of N.Y., a school of about 3,000 students, to Wilkes, a school of about 1,700 undergraduate students and 860 graduate students. The two buildings which students say are hit the hardest are Pickering and Evans Halls. Thom Burkheart, a junior, says it is a question of people being more responsible. "In Pickering on Sundays, the bathrooms are trashed, Evans used to be trashed. The ceiling was pulled down at Evans about three weeks ago and a door of the Darte Center was just smashed." Tony Gamboni, a sophomore dorm student, says the house dorms don't have a problem as much: but when kids get into fights, damage is done. Scott Zolner, a freshman dorm student, said that vandalism has been a big problem in Pickering where he dorms.

More photos on page 5. Where's the gym? by Elizabeth Mazzullo Why is the gym still standing? Where are the construction workers? Why hasn't work begun this month on the new Sports and Conference Center (SCC) as scheduled? According to Richard Charles, Vice-president for College Advancement, "The Board of Trustees and the Administration want to get started as quickly as we can, but we've got to do that responsibly." The problem, according to Charles, is money. . For construction to begin, a total of $5.5 million is needed. The College currently has $952,559 for the sec and additional outstanding pledges of $768,109. "There are not sufficient gift dollars received as of yet to do the job," he said. "It would require financing." Charles said that contractors' bids were "substantially higher" than the estimates. He added, "We are now working with the architects · and consulting with the contractors to bring the SCC back into our original projection of $5.5 million." Paul O'Hop, Vice-president for Business Affairs, noted, "We're looking for three things to come into harmony" before beginning construction. Charles explained these three items. "First, we want to reduce th·e cost of the building. Secondly, we want to increase gifts to be as close to the $5.5 million as we can, by going ahead with the Capital Campaign," he said, adding, "Finally, we're looking at how much we can borrow without damaging the ongoing educational program." He added, "The Boar4does not feel it is prudent at this moment to go out and borrow $3.5 million. If the College's financial picture improves, we might be able to borrcw." Charles noted that the College has an additional $2 million "in hand" which "could potentially be devoted to the building." This money could come from funds currently listed as "Awaiting Designation," Charles explained. "We are in a position that if we get $2 million, we could start construction i.'Tlmediately," Charles said. Charles explained that a $ 1.5 million donation to name the new sec is still to be made. If that gift would come in soon, he said, groundbreaking could begin soon. Continued on p. 10 �PAGE TWO March 12, 1987 We, the students, are all familiar with the teacher evaluations we are asked to complete at the end of each semester. Most students, however, do not know much more beyond this. We aren't informed as to where the evaluations go after they leave our hands or what, specifically, they are used for. The evaluation forms (ICES evaluation form) are designed by the University of Illinois. The Teacher Recognition and Evaluation Committee, chaired by Susan Behuniak-Long, is a faculty/student committee formed at Wilkes College to examine the present system of evaluation using the ICES forms and possible alternative methods. There is no doubt that some sort of evaluation is necessary. The evaluations serve as an open line of communication between faculty, students, and administration. There may be, however, problems with the present system using the ICES forms. First of all, how accurate are the evaluations that are completed? Although there are a number of students who fill, out the evaluations seriously and fairly, there are probably just as many who complete the evaluations as if they were a joke. How can evaluations be accurate and fair when they are not taken seriously by all students? They can't. This leads to another problem. With less than accurate results, it seems unfair when the outcome of the evaluations are used for making decisions concerning facuity tenure or whether to keep (or dissolve) a course. Many of the questions asked on the ICES forms are not fully understood by the students. Questions dealing with course content may be misinterpreted. For example, a Western World Literature student may or may not have liked reading The Odyssey. For the student who does not appreciate the value of the work, the course content evaluation would be poor. Certain material must obviously be covered by the professor--should this be a reflection on his/her teaching? . Perhaps if the results of the evaluations were made available to the students, they would take a greater interest in their responses. In addition, if students were made aware of the importance plaGed on the evaluations, they would take the forms more seriously. There is no easy solution. It is encouraging to see that the present method of evaluation is being re-examined. The formation of the Teacher Recognition and Evaluation Committee is the first step in a long but worthwhile process. The Beacon VOL.

(Letter to the Editor) Dear Students, The members of the Student Life Committee of Wilkes College have completed their analysis of the §ocial Competency questionaire distributed via the December 4, 1986 issue of The Beacon. The most significant outcome of the survey was that 75% of those responding felt that the behavior of Wilkes College students embarassed them at times. Offending behaviors included foul language, graffitti, destruction of college property, poor manners, and lack of respect toward others. Ninety-five percent of the respondents stated that this sort of behavior has a negative impact on the college's image in the community. While the most serious offenders constitute only a small minority on campus, all of us can stand to "fine tune" our social skills. This means that when someone exhibits offensive behavior it is perfectly "O.K." to let them know that it is not acceptable. Once we get the momentum going of improved public behavior it can become part of our daily repetoire with its positive effects extending throughout the campus and beyond. Developing good social skills while young can facilitate ones marketability when seeking post-graduate placement, as well as establishing responsible citizenship. The committee members wish to commend and honor the majority of Wilkes students who possess and practice social competence. We welcome any comments and ideas related to this or any topic of concern. Further we recommend that each individual on campus carefully review and condone the following "Marks of An Educated Man or Woman" as formulated and adopted by the Wilkes College faculty and which are published in the yearly bulletin: An Educated Man or Woman: --seeks truth, for without truth there can be no understanding. --possesses vision, for we know that vision precedes all great attainments. --is aware of the diversity of ideas and beliefs that exist among all people. --has faith in the power of ideals to shape the lives of each of us. --knows that mankind's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance. --cultivates inner resources and spiritual strength, for they enrich our daily living and sustain us in times of crisis. --has ethical standards by which to live. --respects the religious convictions of all people. --participates constructively in the social, economic, cultural, and political life of the community. --communicates ideas in a manner that assures understanding, for understanding .unites us all in our search for truth. Sincerely, The Student Life Committee of Wilkes College Dear Editor, I write this in response to the letter from the upset student concerning the editorial view of Winter Weekend (Feb. 6-8). I hope that the remainder of those who read the editorial (2-12) were not left in the same state of despair that that reader was. In retrospect, the view taken by the editor was one of concern for the level of maturity students at Wilkes possess, which following that weekend must be reviewed. I'm not sure why the editorial was read with despair, when in actuality, the events that occured on that weekend (sponsored and run by Student Govt.) were a study of immaturity, selfishness, and a -general lack of respect for the community and the college. I think that the reader didn't fully understand the main idea of the editorial. The "little craziness" the reader's letter granted us was the focus of the whole editorial. The one full line he/she devoted to the events seemt?ct to have been mentioned out of necessity to say it and get it over with, like taking medicine. What is the context in which "craziness" is being used? Does it include several kegs at Ralston field on Saturday, and afterwards, around Pickering Hall? Does it include urinating in public near the tennis courts at Ralston? Does it include jumping on and kicking cars as they pass the field? How about answering two separate visits by the local police? That's craziness. I'm not sure the reader is on campus a great deal, otherwise he/she would think twice about asking how often students here get to "go crazy."

I can't wait to get to next week, or even this month, you're sadly mistaken. Yes, Wilkes College--the people who brought you classes in . so much snow that everyone else in the area cancelled school--has done it yet again. Spring Break is in the middle of April this year. Yes, that's right, April. Presumably, Spring Break was scheduled to coincide with Easter, so that the College wouldn't have to schedule three breaks in two months. That's understandable. But why, if the College decided to cut the number of breaks in the Spring Semester, did it ever create Winter Break? A break that's so short that you have just enough time to get used to sleeping until 12:00 before you have to come back to that 8:00 class? If the College doesn't want to schedule so many breaks, why doesn't it cut out Easter Break altogether? Do we really need a five-day Easter Break, as we've had in previous years? Why not simply cancel classes on Good Friday so people can attend church services if they wish to? There's no need to close the dorms for what is, in effect, a five-day weekend (with the better part of two days spent traveling home). Don't get me wrong. I want Spring Break to get here as much as anyone does. And I don't mind having three breaks in two months, either. B'ut there are a few minor things I do mind about having a late Spring Break. One of them is March. The thought of spending an entire month here without a break and with the prospect of several term papers and even more midterms staring me in the face scares me, to be quite honest. If Spring Break were this month, as it has been for the past two years, I could take all those books home and at least pretend to read But now I don't have that option. I have to do it while I'm here. Another problem I have with a late Spring Break is finals week. Final exams begin less than two weeks after we get back from break. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be in the mood to study for finals if I'd just spent eight glorious days and seven fun-filled nights in sunny Daytona. And if you do go to Daytona and don't take the books, two weeks can't possibly give you eriough time to get caught up on all the watching "The Young and the Restless," and you're still listening to lectures about the ancient Romans. And I know people who'll be home for the summer on the day our Spring Br~ ends. But take heart, and don't complain too much about how late Spring Break is this year. At least we get one, even if it is in April, even if it is combined with Easter Break. I'll leave you with this to think about while you're sunning your winter-weary body on the River Commons this month: there's only a long Easter Break listed on next year's calendar. You guessed it. We don't have Spring Break at all next year. Wilkes hosts Fifth Annual Business Symposium The School of Business and Economics invites students, area business leaders, and professionals to the Fifth Annual Business Symposium. The 1987 Symposium will be held on Saturday, March 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:35 p.m. in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, and will examine the topic, "The Protectionism vs. Free Trade Debate." There is no charge for the event. According to Theodore Engel, Dean of the School of Business and Economics, "Each year, increasing numbers of people attend this event. We are especially pleased to have such a distinguished panel this year, to mark the fifth year of the Symposium, and the first year that we will offer it as the School of Business and Economics." The day's program will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m., followeq by welcoming remarks 9 a.m. by President Christopher N. Breiseth and Engel. Following this introduction, the Protectionism vs. Free Trade Debate will be discussed from the northeastern Pennsylvania, regional, governmental, and labor perspectives. Delivering these perspectives will be guest speakers Howard Grossman, Executive Director, Economic Development Co,mcil (Northeastern Pennsylvania); Mehdi Hoijat, Ph.D., International Trade Center, Lehigh University (Regional); Glen Fukushima, Director of Japanese Affairs, Office of President Reagan (Govern- mental); and Paul Locigno, Director of Government Affairs, International Brotherhood of Teamsters {Labor). At the conclusion of the featured presentations, the floor will be opened to comments, discussion, questions, and answers. Engel will deliver closing remarks for the Symposium at 12:30 p.m. A complimentary buffet luncheon will be served at the conclusion of the program. The Fifth Annual BusinessSymposium is co-sponsored by the Small Business Development Center, the United States Small Business Administration, and the Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce. :te:==i-- ►►==:,t-- ►►==:,i+11►c==•c1►ic:=:::::)l◄►tc:~::,i◄i►c:::::;➔1t►C:::i°+ac►==i--~l~-I.F;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;=:~=;;;;;;;;==~~;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;, Open Auditions lut I guess th makes the onl etween friends ;ure we'll 1 ave a good ti m, but just e to grow up, reading you didn't do.

Refugee works for peace • ID Central America by Kara Goobic Felipe Arnoldo Diaz had told his horror story in eleven cities and would continue to tell it in 17 other cities on the east coast, yet Arnoldo did not tire of telling his story. Instead, he felt his purpose was to give his testimony to the North American people to stop the U.S. aid and support which sustain the war in El Salvador. I was fortunate enough to listen to Arnoldo tell his story at St. Nicholas Church in WilkesBarre last Friday and at Bishop oban High School. Arnoldo is a member of the econd National Caravan working or peace and justice in Central erica. This is his story. As a high hool student, Arnoldo noticed the eed for educational, economical d political improvements in El alvador. Sixty percent of the ple of El Salvador are unmployed. Fifty-four percent of the 1ve million people who live in El alvador are illiterate. Fifty percent f the children die before the age of 1ve due to malnutrition. And there e three doctors for every 10,000 ple. Arnoldo, fed up with these acts and the discrimination in nrollment at his school, decided to orm CEPIM, the committee of tudents for a Massive Enrollment. se of this was to educate the rural people about their rights within the educational system and to "pressure the school administration to enroll more students from the village." Arnoldo also became active as a regional board member of the High School Revolutionary Movement (MERS). On August 15, 1979, Arnoldo and other members of MERS demonstrated for striking workers at the cottonseed oil factory in San Miguel. The National Guard fired into the crowd and shot eight of the 12 people. One of them was Arnoldo's friend, who died in his arms. At this point in Arnoldo's life, encouragement came from Father David, a priest in San Miguel. He encouraged him to teach the Gospel and live out the Bible's teachings. In 1980, Arnoldo returned to his home after spending a year working in Chaparrastique working in basic adult literacy, helping in the development of their agricultural cooperative and trying to teach the Gospel to the rural people. Upon returning home, he found his godparents dead. During that same year, he had found that his female cousin, who was a member of CEPIM, was accused of being Communist and was then kidnapped. She was raped and laid on a riverbank with her eyes, breasts, and fingernails removed and bones broken. Arnoldo moved on to La Angostura where he lived for several months until January 10, 1981, when an army of 1,000 attacked and occupied the village, killing 35 civilians and burning 50 houses. He had to hide in a pine thicket for three days, and it was then that he saw two soldiers cut open the belly of a pregnant woman and pull out and dissect the fetus in front of its dying mother. In March, 1980, Bishop Romera was assassinated by the National Guard. Before his death, Romera taught Arnoldo and his friends one important lesson. He said that there are three kinds of sinners--those who order someone to commit a crime, those who commit the crime, and those who observe the crime but say nothing about it. Arnoldo learned from this to do something about the crimes being committed. On December 4, 1986, Arnoldo was granted political asylum for one year. He will continue to work for justice and peace in El Salvador. He wants the "right to torture people" to be omitted from the Constitution in El Salvador. He wants children to be fed and people to be able to read and write in order to receive employment. He wants doctors for people experiencing pain. Put simply, he wants the war to stop. "Probably the hardest work you will be involved in is the effort you put into finding meaningful employment," said Eugene Domzalski, Director of Career Services. The Career Resource Center is here to help with every step in finding a meaningful job for every Wilkes student. The Resource Center has developed a Career Development Outline to help you find the job you want. The plan has steps for each of the four years of attendance at Wilkes, starting in the very first year. The fourth year is the most important. Resumes, interviews, and contacts with prospective employers can all be accomplished with the help of the Career Center. "Develop a job-search," said Domzalski, "and stay on schedule. Research is the key." The Career Center has many tools to help you in preparing for your career. These tools include seminars on resume writing, your role in an interview, how and who to contact in many companies and job fields, as well as mockinterviews to develop your interviewing skills. "The key is to establish a relationship with the Career Center," said Domzalski, "and do it before your senior year." The Career Center has personnel from many companies who recruit cm but also has informatioo more opportunities in Their library is equi information in many difli fields, and can help you I contacts with different They can also help you up interviews with employers.

Still a novice in my other role, I decided the lllts were all wrong. It was dildren who schemed to eliminate their stepmother or they made life so miserable that stepmothers had to devise a way to eliminate them. I knew five-year-old ·Mike didn't purposely try to be mean when he posed the question to his father on a weekend visit, "When is she leaving?" He couldn't know I was working to establish a · "good" mother figure when he told strangers, "she's not my mother!" And he could have no idea that a call to his mother concerning a disagreement in our }lome could be undermining. I didn't want to deal with his frank, honest comments. I didn't want to deal with an ex-wife, child support payments subtracted from the family checkbook, constant travel arrangements, strange underwear in the wash, water on the bathroom floor, and unflushed toilets. I began to believe that wicked stepmother fairy tales were created to dissuade women from becoming stepmothers. With time, our relationship modulated. The hostility, hurt, fear, and suspicion lessened. We weren't close; certainly not a mother-son relationship, but we tolerated each other well. Two summers ago, my husband, our daughter, Mike, and I took a trip to Nova Scotia in a recreational vehicle. This meant travelling hundreds of miles in close quarters. Mike and I would either end up hating each other or become friends. We would no longer have a bland relationship. Through New England and the island of Nova Scotia, Mike and I listened as Bruce Springsteen, Twisted Sister, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and others unremebered blasted on the tape pl~yer. We discussed every movie we could think of, deciding we have very different tastes in film: We even managed to share a few dreams. Somewhere in Nova Scotia, perhaps Cape Breton, all the past uncomfortableness slipped away and we became friends--an adult, who happened to be a stepmother and an adolescent stepson. andry returns! by Lee Morrell Here we go again! That's right, he's back. Who is "he"? Think back to almost one year ago-last spring semester to be exact. He is the amazing performer who rocked the Wilkes campus as the Programming Board's first Coffeehouse ever! Need another hint? His show coincidentally falls near St. Patrick's Day, and therefore has nothing to do with it. Give up? It's Jimmy Landry. An Ohio native and alumnus of the University of Dayton, Landry says that he enjoys college crowds. "I think the college mind is very active", he said. "College students have more of a zest for life, ' . he added. He says the best way to classify his music is as "Folk-Pop. Rock." In fact, he addea"I don't (really) classify my stuff." Wilkes is lucky to get him back so soon, seeing that he will be going abroad next fall. Landry will spend three weeks (Sept. 14 to Oct.5) entertaining European crowds in Germany. Until then,· from the time he leaves us, he will be playing other clubs and universities. Prospects are very high for a fantastic show because, in his own words, "Springtime gets my creative juices flowing." So be on time, 8:00 p.m. on Saturday the 14th in the SUB. Aries-Although your love life is booming, you seem to be forgetting about your friends lately. Take a break from romance and spend some time with the friends that miss talking to you. Taurus-Spring fever is in the air and you seem to be falling into the "midsemester slump." Start sleeping with your books because you may be farther behind than you may think. Gemini-Stop warring about being too aggressive. Your "friends" don't seem to mind this behavior. As long as you stay the way you are, your life will continue to be a bowl of cherries! Cancer-Be optimistic! Stop worrying about things that happened in the past. Everything will work out if you just give it a little time. Leo-Just when you thought life was a barrel of laughs, the roof came falling down. Enjoy life one day at a time. Don't look to the future. It could be disastrous. Yi!:Q.Q- Your work schedule seems to be relatively mild this week. You will finally get a chance to go out and have fun. Enjoy it while you can, it won't be long before the assignments start to pile up again. Libra-You've been having a "happiness hangover'' for the past few weeks. Nothing seems to bring you down. It doesn't seem likely that this special feeling will end in the near future. Scorpio-You seem happier than usual lately and your friends can't seem to figure out why. Is there something you haven't been telling them? Sagittarius-You need a break! Too much work ·can be dangerous to your health. Take a day off and relax before you burn yourself out both physically and emotionally. Capricorn-Romance is in the air this weekend. Take a trip or go to a party. No matter what you do, you can't miss. A special someone is just waiting for his/her chance to meet you. Aquarius-Time is not on your side. No matter how hard you try to budget your time, you will not accomplish anything this week. Pisces-Stop thinking that things have to be your way or no way at all. Your friends are getting sick and tired of the attitude you have taken on lately. Wise up before you lose some valuable friends. �PAGE EIGIIT March 12, 1987 Dating game--a night WCLH to remember? spotlight How many times have you turned on the wondered just what your favorite DJ looked like? the mystery is over.

That weekend is long gone and the memory does linger on oh so gently, so why don't you, the writer, pay the bill for the tables in Starlc 101? and 3:00 p.m. my transformation begins. I'm no longer a student; I'm becoming 4-H leader, den mother, and taxi driver. You see, I'm what's referred to as a non-traditional student. I'm a widowed mother of a 9-year-old son trying to juggle school, a job and a scholarship position while attempting to remain a fit parent in the process. Andrew Morrell Dear Editor, Like many Wilkes College students, my day begins at 7:00 a.m.. I attend engineering classes with the prayer of someday achieving a degree. 1l1e Amnicola also consumes a lot of time, because I'm the layout/design editor of the book. Typically, my days seem like anyone else's--until early afternoon. I'm not going to a friend's room to study or to happy hour with "the gang." Between the hours of 2:00 Many times my son has been forced to sit through a physics or differential equations class. Armed with my textbooks and a few comic books, we've entered more than one class together. It's because of his familiarality with the school that many of my friends have prompted me to attend activities at the College during evening hours. Considering my evening hours could certainly stand an improvement over doing laundry, cooking supper, and washing dishes, I decided Kris and I would force ourselves to fit into college life by attending the Dating Game Friday night. What better way to start the social process than by supporting the Engineering CLub? ----------------------------------------,I I BEACON EDITORIAL APPLICATION Name: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Local Address: l l I have to say it was one of the poorest choices I've ever made. I was embarrassed. Guys bared their backsides to the audience, a girl portrayed pregnancy as a shameful condition, and still other male students dropped their drawers and gave us a front view of their Fruitof-the-Looms. I could have cried. Although my son, Kris, never discussed or questioned that night after the charades were over, I felt compelled to explain to him that that's not what engineering is all about I'm disappo~ted that Friday night couldn't have been fun without all of the filth. It is still possible to have fun without being so explicit and raw. Even the questions asked were uncalled for--a popular one had to do with how one celebrated condom week. I'm not a prude and maybe I really wasn't invited to bring a 9year-old to an event such as this, but I think I'd feel the same ifl had attended alone. I was really starting to feel like a part of everyday college life until Friday. I guess I really am a non-traditional student-an outsider. Well, if this is an example of what it's all about, I don't think I'm ever going to fit in. And now I certainly don't want to try. I: I Holly Avery I '• I, I! 1: It pays to advertise in The Beacon!

Morrell I Bob Kinback claims this week's title as "King Trivia." Incidentally, fonnez winner Don Shaw was the runner-up, call him "Prince Trivia." They both knew that the Purdue star that the Golden State Warriors made their first overall pick in the 1980 NBA draft was Joe Barry Carroll. They also knew that the only team in Division I college basketball history to win both the NCAA's and the National Invitational Tournament in one season was the City College of New York (C.C.N.Y.). Special thanks go out to Arnold Morrell, C.C.N.Y. class of '62, for that question. As wrestling Coach John Reese moved closer to the 400 win plateau with a 21 win season this year and as three Wilkes College grapplers are preparing for a trip to the National Tournament we have decided to ask some wrestling trivia this week. QUESTION# 1 I When Wilkes Coach John Reese wins his 400th dual meet he will I become one of only three men ever to reach this plateau. Who are the· 1 other two? I OUESTION#2 Who is the winningest amateur wrestler of all time? Bonus points if you know his record. HINT: He wrestled between 1963 and 1973.

I felt strong both mentally and physically. I just told myself that I had worked too hard to lose," Miller stated. In the finals, Andre easily defeated Lehigh's Jim French, 15-8. "Coach told me to relax because I felt I didn't wrestle up to my ability," Miller added, "I just went out calm and wrestled the way I knew I could." Senior Gary Sanchez ended his wrestling career with a 4th -place finish. "Gary did a great job in consolations, he wrestled tough," stated Coach Reese. After winning his first two matches with ease, Gary lost a tough, 6-4 decision to Buzz Wincheske. Gary then showed his toughness by defeating Trevor Lewis of Princeton, 5-1, and Pat Waters of Cornell, 3-1. Gary faced Wincheske for a second time and lost another tough match, this time by a 3-2 score. At 150, Joe Ianuzzi scored a superior decision over Lehigh's Chad Watkins, 14-1. He was then knocked out of the tournament by William & Mary's Mark McLaughlin. Frank Goldowski was pinned by Army's John Rippley. He received a default but then was eliminated by Jason Morris of Syracuse. Craig Rome became the second Eastern Champ for Wilkes with an 8-1 decision over ·Dave McCormick. Coach Reese was very happy for the junior. "Craig wrestled in the finals the way he wrestled all year. He started the tournament very tentative, worrying about mistakes, but once he calmed down he was at his best" Reese told us. Craig started off with an 8-2 decision over Andy Adelonjo of William & Mary. He then decisioned Tim Anderson of Rutgers. _ Next came Rome's most crucial match. He defeated Andy Rice of Cornell 5-4 in the semi's. "The semifinal match was the most important match because a victory there would send me to nationals," Rome commented.

Because vacancies, the College is Slocum Hall for · Delaware and Slocum Halls explains the reasons for the changes: "Although the admissions office is anticipating a gradual increase in enrollment, the increase is not expected to offset the number of empty residence hall spaces in the near future." According to Residence Life Director Mark Allen, declining enrollment is "kind of a national thing. There are just less students to go around." "I don't think any of us know what enrollment will be for sure," he said. Because of these empty spaces, the memo states, Slocum Hall will be closed at the end of this year to "significantly" decrease costs. roup to analyze apathy h semester, many new enroll in Wilkes College Not only are they g on a potentially ·ng intellectual experience, y are also on the verge of anew social life from what and energy they bring with y students simply state "I have the time" when asked !hey don't participate in ·cular activities. Why? It !hat each student brings interests and problems-I jobs and family problems-un or her. But, if enough interest were , students would find that those boring "extra hours" could be turned into positive experiences. This semester, a newly fonned "ad-hoc committee on volunteerism" is prepared to analyze the problem of student apathy (lack of concern) and propose solutions to it. Mark Sowcik, Director of Campus Counseling, says students will learn to get rid of uncaring attitudes by giving time to campus and community organizations. He said Dean Arthur Hoover designated certain student issues to talk about last semester. One issue which arose from administrative discussions last was "student apathy." Amy Wiedemer, Director of Student Activities, looked into the - possiblities of fonning a committee to deal with this issue. Pam Jones, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, expressed interest in chairing the committee. Members of the newly fonned committee include Jones, chairperson; Weidemer; SowcikandJane Elmes Crayhall, Assistant Professor of Speech, Communications and Theater Arts; and students Jim Healey, Student Government (S.G.) member; Wendy Mead, S.G. member, Steve Morris, Circle K member; and Jim Pyrah, Sports Editor of the Beacon. Wiedemer says the temporary organizational group is working on three areas: -How to encourage students Continued on p. 3 But closing Slocum will cut the number of spaces available for men in houses, so Delaware Hall will be converted to a male donn, beginning next fall. According to Allen, Slocum was chosen because it held "approximately" the number of room spaces that the College wanted to cut. . Sue Tomalis, Associate -Director of Residence Life, added, "Slocum was chosen because it needs a lot of work. We were asked to look at buildings that needed to be refurbished." When asked why Slocum simply couldn't be repaired over the summer, Allen said, "If we fixed it up over the summer, we're still operating with empty space. We have an obligation to the students to function as efficiently as possible." Allen doesn't know if Slocum will simply be renovated or if it will be sold or tom down. Delaware Hall was chosen to be converted to a men's donn because "the least amount of people would be displaced," Tomalis said. Delaware currently houses only 12 women, but has space for 23. Also, Tomalis said, making Delaware a men's dorm would convert it and adjoining Chesapeake ~!J into a "semi-co-ed bttilding," which Tomalis feels will be "attractive" to students.

All moans and groans should be directed toward those individuals responsible for destroying Wilkes College property. Th~re has beei:t a recent _surge in vandalism on campus. The evidence of this nonsensical and purposeless destruction can be viewed at almost every corner of campus. For example, the River Street door of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center has been completely pulled off of its hinges student club ro_oms in Stark Hall have been ransacked, ~d many glass display cases have been smashed. In addition desks in the class rooms and in the library are being destroyed with obscene carvings. And the list goes on .... . . The incide_nces list~ here are most likely isolated mc1dences. This would imply that a number of students are involved in destroying school property. The increased number of vandalistic acts on campus reflects a warped way of th~nking. What motivates someone to destroy property? Can 1t possibly be "having fun," or is it a masked act of violence? Students who destroy campus property are detrimental to the other stude~ts at Wi~es m more than one way. First, they are a neganve reflecnon of Wilkes College. Those of us who are more concerned with learning do not want to be associated with such a reputation--we do not want to be a part of the Wilkes College School for Vandals. Second, every student is forced to pay for the work of vandals. Every students' tuition is raised to pay for repairing the ripped off door or the destroyed desk. So next semester ~hen tuition is inc!eased by five, six, or sev~n percent, the fmger of accusation should be directed toward those individuals among us who insist on ''just having some fun."

R ea der res concl ofrumW,problempon~~htp;ckw;ili, Dea<Tulitor, It was with much despair that I read your article about All-College Winter Weekend. The weekend may be long gone, but for many it will be a memory they will keep with them for a long.time. Winter Weekend was filled with much friendship, laughter and fun. Granted, at times it was a little crazy, but after all, how often do you get a chance to go crazy at Wilkes? You were so eager to point out the bad things you forgot about all the good ones. Your opinion was : from one person who I understood was not even present at lhe events. My response is from many fellow students who thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was a fun-filled weekend that involved over 300 students. How about that for student apathy? We have learned many things through trial and error. Now, I believe it is your turn to learn something. Instead of being so quick with the pen and voicing what I believe to be exaggerated · statements, get involved in the college scene and have some fun with the rest of us! Name withheld upon request Dear Editor, Beginning on Friday night until Saturday n~ght, I was getting drunk along with many of my frien~. I guess you co~ld just say that _it was a combination of rebellion to the new alcohol policy, pressure due to my major and just plain old rowdiness. I was becoming a weekend alcoholic. I'm not going to say that the Programming Board's shows somehow showed me the path to seventh day sobriety, but what they did do was divert my attention to other social activities. I found that you could sometimes have a ball without doing 12 oz. curls and beerbongs. I realized that there are many things to do in this area without frying a couple hundred brain cells. For the past few months I have seen hysterical comedians, great sounds alike and radical bands and have actually been able to remember them the next morning. Now I'm not saying that I have gone completely dry, but I am starting to enjoy the feeling of being in control on Friday night. I honestly believe that a few beers once in awhile can't hurt you, but eventually, if you persist, your body will turn on you and they'll be sending you home to mother in a cardboard box. So take care, I have and it's working! Name withheld upon request I am writing in response to your article of 2-19 on the Wilkes Dear Editor, Programming Board.

But those increases may be Cal State is raising "fees"--its of tuition-- IO percent. Alabama-Birmington students will pay 12.7 percent more to attend classes next year, while tuition at Loyola-New Orleans will rise 12.5 percent. Oklahoma students may get "only" a 15 percent hike, although Gov. Henry Bellmon initially wanted an 88 percent jump, which would have been the highest"in the nation. Community college students, however, may face the biggest increases. Parkland Community College in Illinois, for example, will hike prices 20 percent next year. Parkland's Vice President of Business Affairs Don Moran said the college's board of trustees had to tap "new sources of revenue"-students--because of a decline in Illinois' farm property value. But some schools were raising tuition for other reasons, one major observer says. "Some of our colleges," U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett said last November, "charge what the market can bear." Bennett went on to say schools can raise tuition because they know students can get federal loans to pay it, press aide Tom Lyon recalls. If students can't get loans as easily, they may be less likely to tolerate hikes of these magnitudes, Lyon adds. "If students begin to assume the cost burden themselves, there will be pressure on the schools [to lower their. prices] from consumers." Perhaps because they feel they can borrow money to pay for the increase, students are not, in fact, protesting the new round of big hikes very often. · "I can't see myself protesting," said University of Alabama at Birmingham sophomore Beth Baker. Though her scholarship won't cover a 12.7 percent tuition jump, Baker knew her school would have to "get the money from somewhere. I'll just have to understand. I'm a big pro-UAB person." Two engineering scholarships available by Karen Natishan The Reading Chapters of the Pennsylvania Society of Professional Engineers and the Wives of Professional Engineers recently announced the continuation of the annual scholarship program.

One can pull into an A-Plus store, fill his own gas tank (cheaply), fill his own travel mug {cheaply), swallow a Chimachanga (cheaply), slap a few bucks on the counter and roll back onto the highway. And he can do this at 4 a.m. The drive-thru window is another staple of the hassle-free existence. It has added significant velocity to the "fast" of fast food. The spontaneous notion of "I think I'll have a burger" can become bought, eaten, and a part of history in under three minutes. Not only does the marriage of eating and driving save time, but the two activities compliment each other. Drive-thru windows have stepped-up banking, but even drivethrus are descending into obsolescnce. To those who desire complete self-sufficiency, the accesibility provided by the automatic teller is indispensible. My CASHSTREAM card has come through for me at every hour of the day in c1t1es ranging from Jacksonville to Denver. But people still herd into banks apparently Haven't you ever done something in your life yo.u wish you could do over aga in .•. and this time do it right?

He explained, "There's always a risk with how you'll work with a new president." But when he met with President Christopher Breiseth, Hartdagen said, "I was convinced I could work with him. We had a good working relationship." "I stayed, but not with the idea that I'd stay for the rest of my career," he added. "I sat down last fall and talked to President ~eth and told him I'd been giving serious thought to other things," such as teaching or taking a sabbatical, Hartdagen said. Hartdagen was named Vicepresident just last spring. "I supported moving to the vice-presidential system at Wilkes," he stated. But he added, "That doesn't mean I feel all that comfortable being vice-president." "Being vice-president puts you more fully as an administrator," Hartdagen said. "The traditional attitude and way one looks at a dean is that a dean is a first among Vice-president for Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen will be resigning his position as of May 31, 1987.

A dean is "very much a faculty member," Hartdagen noted, adding that he feels there is a "significant difference" between deans and vicepresidents. For the vice-president, he explained, the "title cuts them off from the relationship with faculty that they'd like to have." Finally, Hartdagen said, "I accomplished what I felt I wanted to accomplish at Wilkes. I was happy to try to get the new structure kicked off and started. I think the structure's workirig nicely." Hartdagen also explained why he resigned at this time. "If I wait until later in this year," he said, "it puts the school in a problem for searching" for a new vice-president. "There is no indication I was asked to leave the job," he added. "That was not the case." Hartdagen sees two career options for himself.

WCLH disc jockeys and members of the radio station joined eight WCLH alumni, faculty members, and Wilkes administrators for conversation, reminiscenses, and an informal luncheon. Former WCLH staff members who came back to join the festivities included Karen Harsch and Chris Sailus of WNEP-TV, Channel 16; Tom McGuire of WILK radio; Fred Pierantoni, an assistant district attorney for Luzerne County; Richard Nordheim, now a disc jockey and moving manager; and Gary Mack, now an educator. Another former WCLH staffer in attendance was David Abraham, an original member of Synch, a band which got its start at WCLH. Abraham now works as a mental health technician. "This is how you learn the whole business from I the inside out," said Bradford Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services. "We play all kinds of music," Kinney added. "We play music of people who are just starting." He said that WCLH, the largest campus organization, boasts 65 "active on-air personalities." Continued on p. 4 �February 19, 1987 College degrees-a dime a dozen? Education. What does that word connote? To some it may be receiving a high school diploma, but for most an education is receiving a college diploma. Reports reveal that some 60 percent of this year's high school graduates will attend college next fall and the number seems to be increasing at a steady rate. There has been much debate and discussion over the present system of education in the United States. While the number of students going to college is indeed increasing, the value of the college diploma is decreasing. Most jobs require that one have an undergraduate degree. This is just to enter into the job market. In order to make any sort of career move, further study is needed and required--a master's or doctoral degree. Undergraduate degrees are becoming a dime (or $40,000) a dozen. Another point to consider when evaluating the United States' educational system is the decline in mathematical skills of students today. In a number of studies conducted at the University of Illinois United States school students, grades one through twelve, ranked low when compared with some twenty other nations. These same school students, a few years down the road, will be graduating from high school and entering college. The writing and reading level at which students are working is not on the increase either. There have been horror stories of students graduating from college without being able to read or write. Taking into consideration the de-valuation of the undergraduate diploma, the caliber of students· entering into and graduating from college, and the increasing number of students attending college, it seems safe to say that there is indeed a problem with the American education system. The accusing finger cannot be pointed to any one group. The problem, however, undoubtedly ori~inates very early in the educational development of the child, at the grade school level. From here the problem snowballs. ·Students go from grade school into high school and on to college without an adequate background--and the problem is never recognized. If the educational foundation is not adequate, the chances of increasing the caliber of students in the United States is slim. All levels of the system must take hold of the problem and deal with it head on. A reversal in the trend cannot be accomplished in the elementary level, the high school level, or the college level alone. The entire educational system must act together to change the attitudes and overall approach to learning. Time and effort in this direction will make the college degree something to be proud of and valued. The Beacon VOL. XXXIX No. 16 February 19, 1987 Reader response Dear Editor: Last April I took a continuing education course at Wilkes. It was my first time back in attendance · since graduating from here in the early seventies. I confess nostalgia was the prime reason for returning. It didn't take long to realize that it's still a great place to be. There was, however, one major disappointment the former student center which was behind the library along the walkway it shared with Chµrch Hall was no longer there, only an empty lot. This greatly saddened me since it had been sort of the hub of the campus and countless students, including dormies, spent many a very enjoyable hour there. The present location--the Conyngham Student Center--is a fine old structure. However the main floor is well above ground level and the rooms are smaller. This tends to create a boxed in, isolated atmosphere. The primary view is of River Street and often a The Beacon is accepting applications for the position of News Co-editor. ............................... In r writing a must!!

Lastly the location is too far from the library so the flow of students to and fro is much less than when the center was at the former site which was but a fifteen second walk behind the library. Because of that students would very often make the trip back and forth. Indeed before exams we would spend much time studying in the · library then journey a few times to the center for a coffee and snack and some enjoyable conversation with fellow students. The atmosphere there was laid back, a change of pace, and soon you'd be ready for more library study. Now with the longer distance from the library studying must be more difficult The previous student center had at ground level a large roomy first floor with numerous windows. This gave off sort of an open air feeling with lush multi-colored shrubs and trees just outside the windows.

"I've seen her at all of our events, and now she says she's never heard of the Programming Board. I don't understand it." A voice from behind them says, "Do you believe me now?

The members of the Programming Board turn around to look for Clancy, but he's not there. "Clancy, where are you? We believe you now. Clancy," they yell. "Wilkes really is an awful place without the Programming Board. Please, can't we go back? We never r~lized before how much Wilkes needs us." "Hey, guys, why aren't you setting up tonight's show? I've been waiting up in the office for half an hour, and no one's there," says a voice from behind them. They turn around to see Amy Wiedemer standing there. ''Amy! Are we glad to see you! You wouldn't believe what just happened to us!" They start laughing as they follow her into the Student Center. When they walk into their office, the head of the Board yells, "It's ours again! The posters from the Dave Binder show! The couch! The paintings! It really is our office! Thank you; Clancy, thank you!" Amy just looks at them, wondering who this Clancy fellow is and why everyone's so happy to be in the Programming Board Office. They were all in such a bad mood earlier today, she thinks. I wonder what happened? The Board members just smile at each other and begin to get the equipment for the night's show together. But while they're packing up the sound equipment, one of them notices a folded slip of paper taped to the box. Wondering, he opens it. "Remember, Programming Board, · no club is a failure that has friends." And the note's signed, "From your friend, Clancy, and all your friends at Wilkes College." ,.,;J' );~ GllEAT SUMMEll JOBS ATTENTION: IN NEW ENGLAND (,'r,p'° Cod a11d the Island.< of Na11t11d,·t a11d .\f<,,.1/111 's l'i111J'ard omen interested in becoming a Wilkes College "Strutter" Thousands of interesting and varied summer jobs are waiting to be filled .

The Wilkes College School of Business and Economics will offer free tax assistance to qualifying local taxpayers. Students participating in the "Volunteer Income Tax Assistance" (VITA) program will help elderly, low-income, and handicapped individuals prepare their income taxes at sessions scheduled each Saturday through April 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Bedford Hall. The VITA program, now in its third year at Wilkes, is coordinated by Cynthia Chisarick, Assistant Professor of Business and Economics. She explained the reason for the College's continued involvement with the program, "For many people, completing an income tax return is a very difficult task, especially for those who cannot afford professional assistance. It is these people who make the VITA effort worthwhile. We feel that we are performing an important service, and our feeling is proven by the fact that increasing numbers of people are seeking us out each year." The VITA program is open to low-income, elderly, and handicapped individuals who would like technical assistance and advice. Serving as VITA personnel for the program are students of the School of Business and Economics who have qualified by completing advanced tax courses at the College. Those who would like to take advantage of this service are asked to bring their W-2 forms, 1099 forms if applicable, and I copies of last year's tax returns. with them to any of the sessions.

Dr. Richard Tutwiler is the first certified anthropologist on the faculty at Wilkes College. The Beacon recently had a chance to talk to Dr. Tutwiler and get some information on his accomplishment. . · Who's that Anthropology professor at who just recieved his Doctorate degree? ' If you guessed correctly--his name is Dr. Richard N. Tutwiler. Dr. Tutwiler recieved his Ph. D in Cultural Anthropology on Friday, February 6, from the State University of New York in Binghamton. exactly is anthropology?--According to Webster's Dictionary, anthropology is the study of man, including all aspects of his evolution--both physical and social. Professor Tutwiler also describes it as "understanding human social behavior and cognition." What Why would anyone pursue anthropology as a career? "I'm interested in people and other cultures," says Tutwiler. When Tutwiler was an undergraduate at Macalester between 1970-1972, he enrolled in an overseas study program at the American University of Cairo in Egypt. It was at this time that he became very interested in the countries of the Middle East. He chose to do his study there because he liked the people, the climate and the historical aura of the region. Tutwiler said · that history "is just staring you in the face there." After graduating from college, he traveled to many countries in the Middle East and lived in Yeman Arab Republic for four years while doing his dissertation research. Tutwiler's dissertation is on social clas formation. He has also worked on development projects such regional planning, domestic water supplies, and agricultural projects. What does Tutwiler recommend to students thinking o pursuing their Ph. J;> and how does he thiks Wilkes ca help them prepare?--He says "You shouldn't go after somethin unless you're really interested in the subject." Tutwiler said he likes Wilkes because "It's a small liberal school and it gives students a good background in a variety of subjects.' He said that there is close interaction between teachers and students, a aspect that may be lost at larger schools. For example, many studen watch videotapes of lectures and never meet their professors. Another reason he likes Wilkes is because of the international emphasis place on education. What about studying abroad? Tutwiler said that in this past year, Wilkes developed a study abroad program. About six people have applied and are planning to go abroad next year. In addition to being an anthropologist and the Study Abroa Program Coorinator, Tutwiler is also the International Studies advisor. He is leaving February 27th for a short trip to Europe. Afterwards, h will be Visiting Professor of Anthropology at the University of Uta until the fall, when he returns to Wilkes. I bought an interesting item this week at Walden's Bookstore--a 15 percent tip table. It's a small card designed to assist diners in leaving a tip that meets the rigid .standard of propriety. If the diner's bill is $2.00, for instance, he consults the card and drops 30 cents on the counter, and so it goes. I paid 79 cents for this indispensible God-send and then I tipped the manager 15 cents. She fussed a little and informed me that you don't tip bookstore workers; nor do you tip bar owners or hair , dressers who own their own shops. I added this information as an appendix to my new gratuity gauge. Doesn't imposing such criteria render the gratuity somewhat less gratuitous? Tipping becomes a mathematical assessmen~ and generosity is replaced by judgement-was she worth the full 15 percent? I've already caught myself dumping a pile of change on a counter and then pulling back a few dimes because my bill was very small. Man is conditioned to fear being ripped off. This is a restrictive paranoia that should be overcome. Consider the relative value of those few dimes. My The Manuscript Society is accepting submissions of poetry, prose, and artwork for possible publication in Manuscript, the annual Wilkes college literary/art magazine. Submissions can be dropped off at our office, 3rd floor of the Student Center. For more information, call ext. 319. SUBMIT SOON-DEADLINE IS MARCH 5!!!!!! money is worth far less in · the Holiday Inn than in Chick's Place. Yet, consequently, I'm required to leave a bigger tip at the Holiday Inn. It's a shame, too, because Chick is such a.nice guy. The French philosopher, JeanPaul Sartre proposed that life itself is gratuitous, and any decision based on an externally imposed value scale is a restriction of one's freedom. In other words, life is not something we order from the Sear's Wish Book. It is more of a gift that arrives without instructions. But try to tell that to the old guy at Franklin's who didn't get cole slaw with his Alpiner. A waitress and bartender serve as facilitators, and this is the reason we tip them. If they are friendly and accessible, they deserve a bigger tip. Incompetance should not be mistaken for malice. But you may want to be less generous if your waitress is miserable. A pleasant waitress deserves a good tip even for a cup of coffee--tip tables aside. Woody Guthrie told of Pretty Boy Floyd, who after begging a meal, left a thousand dollar bill under his napkin. Pretty Boy understood the relative value of money and the function of gratuity.

Cramming as an art form by Ann Calkins Women are "crammers." Did you know that? YEP!! We can cram anything and everything into the time that we have available. Imagine time being the contents of a suitcase--it would take ten women to sit on the suitcase to get it closed, struggling hard to close the locks. Once closed, it would strain at the seams threatening to burst, flinging the contents all over. · When I first heard the phrase "crammed," I, along with 230 other women nodded our heads and laughed as we agreed with Carol Price, presentor of "Power Communication Skills for Women." She, too, was a crammer of the first degree. I know many women who cram and I probably should use one of them as an example. However, -since I consider myself an excellent crammer, I will give all of you a lesson in what "cramming" really means. My day starts at 6:45 a.m. and usually ends at 12:30 a.m. the next day, sometimes even later (or earlier depending on how you look at it). The normal routine in the morning includes chasing my three cats around the apartment, trying to herd them down into the basement. They tend to chase each other up the drapes and across the furniture with little regard for my prized possessions if allowed to languish upstairs in my absence. They always know when it is time for me to leave no matter how sneaky I am about the whole thing, and they will take off in different directions. , Fifteen minutes later with a fair amount of cat hair on my clothes, they are captured and the basement door closed. Luckily, a few quick moments with the most marvelous invention--a clothes brush made ·from sticky paper--gets rid of the cat hair. Then it's off to work until 4:30 p.m. On my lunch hour, I take care of errands--going to the bank, to the shoe repair shop, paying bills, and shopping (my favorite pasttime). Sometimes I even eat lunch! After work I go to swim and work out! And no, I'm not crazy--1 love exercise. Two nights a -week I have a night class, three nights a week.I work part-time, usually getting home after midnight One day a week I squeeze skiing (during the winter) and horseback riding (in the summertime) into my busy schedule. There is time for a class, newspaper articles, and a newsletter for the Non-traditional students once a month. I also visit with my children, belong to the "Women's Network of Wyoming Valley," and the Sociology Club on campus. Studying for class is a must too and I clean my apartment, do laundry, cook meals and water my plants. Somehow I discovered that a corner in my "suitcase" was empty-good golly--what can I stuff in there? Ah, just the thing--some alterations need doing. Oh, my, what have we here? Someone needs to have a wedding gown made--just the ticket for that empty space! Have I forgotten anything? I hope not, after reviewing the list above, I'm exhausted and need a vacation. That's another story! Oh, by the way, did I mention that I'm getting a puppy? No, I'm not kidding. I really am getting one. You see, I like to walk, too, and I need company! PAGE SEVEN Leo--one great ·w eekend! Aries--What is the matter with you? Your strange change in personality has been making those around you uncomfortable. Lighten up or people are going to think you have been taking certain illegal foreign substances into your body. Taurus--What a crank you have been the past few weeks! You have been wounding those close to you with your sharp words. Gemini--Stop thinking that the world has deserted you! Feeling sorry for yourself will not help you get through your problems--sheer strength and willpower will! Someday you'll look back on all of this and laugh. Cancer--You will find the man or woman of your dreams in the place you'd least expect. Keep your eyes and mind open and you'll be quite surprised at the results! Leo--This is going to be one hell of a weekend. Not only will you have more fun than you've had in a long time, academic success is also in the cards for you when you return from break. Virgo--A trip that takes you away from home will prove to be just what you need to get your life back on track. New experiences will teach you more than you could ever learn at Wilkes. Libra--Lock the doors, close all the windows, and hide in the basement. There could be some trouble for you in the near future. Remain calm and things should work out fine. Blow your stack, though, and you're in for it! Scorpio--This week has been sheer hell. Sit back, relax, and be glad that you came through it with flying colors. Next week, blow off some _classes and give yourself a much-needed break. Sagittarius--A friend will be solving all of his or her problems soon, thanks to you. Maybe you should scrap all your future plans and take up a career in psychology. How about it? Capricorn-Now that your social and romantic life is picking up, caution is crucial. Try to keep your mind on your studies, regardless of how hard it may be. Aquarius--Get a real job! We've heard all the excuses--too much homework, not enough time-but taking on a . little more responsiblilty is necessary. Pisces--Go out and actively look for a new mate this weekend. You need a change and a change in partners will be just the thing for a lagging ego. �PAGEEIGHf February 19, 1987 The video boom "We have VHS and Beta!" by Bill Conway Lately, the country has been saturated with video sales and rentals. Everywhere you look someone is renting pre-recorded movies. It has reached the point where· you can't escape a movie rental outlet Just last week when I was purchasing some aspirin at a local drug store, the clerk behind the counter asked me if I was interested in joining the store's video club. If that wasn't enough, while browsing through the aisles of my favorite supermarket, I was shocked to see a video -rental display right next to the fresh fruit. Supermarkets and drug stores are not the only places bitten by the video bug; it's happened in department stores, comer stores, and even clothing stores. One day I'm afraid I'll wake up and the day will go something like this. It's two-thirty and time to head out for my annual check-up at the dentist's. Arriving at the dentist's office, I'm hesitant about walking into the waiting room. I first notice all the somber faces of the worried patients and sudden anxiety hits my body like a hunk of Jell-O hitting a cold linoleum floor. I move to find a seat and decide to sit myself down next to an old lady who came to get her dentures adjusted, or so she tells me. Nervously, I leaf through the pages of People magazine and Bicuspid Annual. My thoughts are not on the pages, but on what horror is awaiting me in the dentist's chair. It is then that I notice a sign above the door to the office it reads, "WE HAVE VHS AND BETA." Thinking nothing of it, I proceed to read. "Mr. Conway, you're next," awakens me from my intent reading of Boy's Life . It is then I know my time has come. Sitting in the chair and awaiting the clammy touch of the dentist, I again notice another sign that reads, "VHS AND BETA." The dentist looks into my mouth and much to my surprise says, "Well, Bill, I don't see any problems. I recommend only a cleaning." Thankfully, making an appointment for my cleaning is all I have left to do. While the receptionist is filling out my appointment card, another girl hands me a coupon. I ask her what it is for and she tells me that I am entitled to a free movie rental, either VHS or Beta. She goes on to say with the recent fluoridation of the water the dentist was haviri'g hard time making ends meet so he decided to rent movies. I look over the coupon and notice that for a cleaning you would receive a free rental of Jaws and for a regular check-up, a documentary, narrarted by Robin Leach, entitled Your Incisors and You. He's out of his mind, I think, and run out of the office. I proceed to the parking lot, jump into my car and drive off. Halfway home, I notice that my gas tank is a little on the empty side, so I pull into the friendly neighborhood gas station. The attendant comes over and asks if I would like to rent a movie from their VHS catalog. Angrily I reply, "No, all I want is some gas!" While waiting for my tank to fill, I notice a small church across the street that has a sign hanging above the doors. Squinting to read it, I was horror striken. There in red letters was "VHS ONLY, ALL RATINGS." I ask the gas station attendent if that was serious.

Questions from a pretty puzzled guy by Lee Morrell You know, there are some things in this world that downright puzzle me. Modem technology can put a man on the moon, but I doubt that it will ever be able to solve these enigmas in my lifetime. First of all, did you ever notice that when you watch a VCR somewhere besides your own home, whoever is showing the film does not set the clock. After about half the movie, it gets a little annoying watching that clock flash 12:00 a.m. constantly. Another thing that puzzles me-why does Channel 28 (WBRE) still show The Ted Knight Show ? I understand that Ted Knight is dead and that we should show a little respect for him, but this show is terrible. It is not funny. It is corny, stupid, and absolutely fake. Let's be real, how can a man Henry Rush s age father a ~aby? And whatever happe~ed to ~1s daughters? I suggest the wnters kill Munro and bring back the daughters--preferably the blonde one.

When someone becomes addicted to this drug, all other functions of daily life, such as relationships and academic achievements, become secondary. This distortion of priorities is what makes cocaine so potentially damaging. According to the Mental Health Newsletter, "taking cociane stimulates taking more cocaine." Alcohol's addictive properties stem from its ability to produce a tolerance, so that increasing amounts of the drug are needed to produce the same . effects. This addiction may lead to physiological withdraw! which is characterized by tremors and convulsions when that drug is taker away. Marijuana's addictive properties emerge because when people use this drug they become relaxed, have increased perception, sociability, and an altered state of n i , line, or light up that next joint-stop and take a look at the rationale behind your actions. • • • • Ru dOIf' · EI in e featured c O ff e eh O u s e · • • • • • • Ill ~ ,' -~ ~ -·--_-· ·.--.·-· tt~®>$t$:~®)®)®Jt$®)®)t®)~, $~ ·---~--:":..~-:"~":": '-: .":. ~ ~--~-=- =---=-.:"'-'-:-=. =---==·~-=. ..::--=. ::-:..~.;:-~. ::"!..-:-=. Many times drugs are usect to "be cool," because of peer pressure, because someone is dissatisfied with family or personal relationships, or even to alleviate the sting of academic failure. Even experiemntation is a valid reason for using drugs. According to Mark Sowcik of Campus Counselling Services, people begin to abuse drugs when they are used in a social setting. For example, people may have a few drinks or a little cocaine before going to a party to get in a good mood. After a prolonged period of time, that person may get to depend on those few drinks or that snort to function. This is one of the first signs of serious addiction. Each type of drug produces a different effect--a different "high" that contributes to their addictive nature. Cocaine stimulates the brain's "reward centers" andprovides a euphoric feeling that a user will want to reproduce over and over Along with the "pleasant" effect of these drugs come physical problems that make prolonged use of them quite dangerous. Alcohol, for instance, is extremely toxic to the stomach, liver, brain, pancreas, and other vital ,organs. Marijuana has toxic effects on the lungs and causes hormonal changes. Cocaine use may cause epileptic seizures, heart attacks, irregular heart beats, stroke, and even death. After a prolonged period of time, cocaine produces a "binding" effect on the brain. The binding effect is an increased senstivity to the drug following repeated use. This produces a greater high from a smaller quantity of the drug. This can eventually lead to highly distorted perceptions and paranoia. The psychological effects are even more damaging. Young adulthood is, a time of learning to deal with life's difficulties and working through the normal stages of life. If coping mechanisms are not acquired and a method of managing stress is not developed, a real problem has the potential to begin. Long periods of intoxication with any drug will produce an inability to learn that may never be made up. Yes, drugs produce a positive and confident feeling for a while, but it is followed by a more intense letdown. Drugs may postpone problems, but they do not make the problems disappear. So, the next time you decide to "have a good time," --before you take that next drink, do that next by Lorri Steinbacher Yes, folks,'that's right, yet another show has been arranged for your enjoyment: This time, it is another installment of the No RSVP Coffeehouse Series. Featured in this installment, on Friday, February 27, at 7:30 p.m., is performer Dave Rudolf. Rudolf has opened for such notable acts as Cheech and Chong, Little River Band, and Sha Na Na. He has also plays at festivals, parks, and showcase clubs. He has released five albums and has two more due to be released. His show mixes a variety of music--from serious ballads to humorous tunes--and sharp one liners to complement a unique interaction with his audience. He is able to effectively cover serious music, yet is still able to pull off a laugh with his funny little ditties. Perhaps what will distinguish this show from past coffeehouses is that the main act will have an opening act to warm-up the audience. This is not just any opening act, however. Jeff Eline, a student here at Wilkes College, will be priming the audience for the evening of intense fun and music with Dave Rudolf. Not only will this performance give the audience a chance to see a first-class performer in action; it will provide the audience with a ·glimpse of the talent present right here on its own campus. This is the last coffeehouse of this semester so come on out and make it the best one! �PAGE TEN ebruary 19, 1987 Candidates d~scenrl on campuses nationwide (CPS) -- Jesse Jackson just spoke at Stanford. This month, Mario Cuomo is lecturing at Tulane and, after scheduling an appearance at. Duke, shamed Gary Hart into keeping a date there, too. Hart, meanwhile, is teaching at Florida. Bob Dole last week spoke at Oklahoma Jack Kemp has been lecturing frequently at colleges during the last two years. Real and imagined presidential aspirants, in short, are showing up on campuses with increased regularity now as they scramble to attract students to work on their 1988 campaigns. And so far, various observers say, the Republicans are doing much better at •it. "There is no better group (than college students) to involve in elections," says Dave Minor, national chairman of the College Republicans and a senior at Campbell University in North Carolina. "We can supply so much energy to a candidate's campaign," adds Minor, who worked with Campaign Management, a consulting firm that ran Ronald Reagan's 1984 campaign in North Carolina "Students work long and hard hours." They also usually work for free. Getting good volunteer help can make or break campaigns in some areas. "We will need door-todoor campaigning," notes Mark Berry of Kemp's exploratory committee in Washington,- D.C. "A campaign is pretty laborintensive." Seven candidates thus far have asked the College Republican National Committee -- an official Republican Party arm -- to help organize fundraisers. Kemp, a congressman from New York, has used the group most often. Most recently, he had the Southern Cal College Republicans host a Los Angeles fundraiser for him. To date, national spokesman David Hirschmann says, the College Republicans -- which like the Young Democrats doesn't favor any of the party contenders during the nommation process -- has raised money for Kemp, Alexander Haig, evangelist P'at Robertson, Bob Dole and George Bush. In contrast to the College Republicans' 980 "active chapters," the Young Democrats have been relatively invisible thus far in the campaign. "They just have more money, ' explains Young Democrats President Marie Prezioso, whose group, she adds, gets by on about $12,500 a year. The Republicans National Committee, though, gives $200,000 a year to its youth groups, reports College Republicans Executive Director Dennis Kilcoyne. With the money, the College Republicans do things like hold "three-day weekend training courses for young political leaders," Herschmann says, teaching them "how to recruit and maintain membership, how to handle press relations and the issues. They need to target, identify, register (voters) and provide absentee ballots." Kilcoyne says he's always heard "campus Dems moaning and groaning about how they get no support from their party." Their national group "doesn't even have its own office space, and they have to share a computer." "We get much more respect (from senior party members) here," says Kilcoyne. "We've proved our worth." Democratic candidates, in fact, are not only ignoring the Young Dems, they're barely approaching any kind of student groups for support. Although Hart and Cuomo have made frequent campus stops, only Jackson's Rainbow Coalition - which generated Kennedy-like excitement on Southern campuses in 1984 -- admits to making a concerted effort to attract student support and volunteers. Jackson, says aid Craig Kirby, plans to speak at "about 20 more colleges and universities" in the coming months. Moreover, the Rainbow Coalition is trying to The WCLH Top 20 establish ties to campus antiapartheid, nuclear freeze and antidrug groups. A Cuomo spokesman, !1owever, says the New York governor isn't making any formal campus contacts, and won't unless he officially declares his candidacy. And though Hart has stopped at scores of campu,ses during the last four years, Dave Purdy, his campaign's volunteer coordinator, disdains mounting any concerted hunt for help among students. "We havn't had the need to and don't foresee ever having to go to campuses and recruit," he says. On the other hand, Berry of Kemp's campaign reports "we're doing more recruiting on campuses, not necessarily College Republicans. College Republicans will be our entre, but not our only source (of support and recruits). We also draw from Christian organizations, things along that line." Still, the Democrats are operating on campuses. Despite Purdy's denial, a spokeswoman at Hart's newl:r opened headquarters in Denver says her campaign sent recruiting letters to political science departments at area colleges, and netted 10 volunteers. "We're in constant touch with Gary Hart's office in Denver," adds Jeff Stephens of the Young Democrats chapter in nearby Boulder. "And we have a Students with Hart organization already set up. We'll get him up here once or twice this semester." He figures his party's candidates will accelerate their campus efforts as the campaign heats up. "People get sick of too much early contact," he points out. Stephens thinks the national Young Democrats organization may even revive as the election approaches, especially if it can shake an "interest in procedural matters and the trivial" that prompted Stephens to divorce his chapter from the national group in 1986.

Merit pay to benefit 'excellent' faculty by Greg Krager The College administration has been working with faculty members in devising a merit bonus and promotion system.

President Breiseth and other administrators at a special luncheon Tuesda . of one calendar year and rewarding those having very good and excellent ratings by awarding a "bonus in addition to their across the board pay," accoring to Dr. Robert Heaman, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs. A merit recognition system is not a new idea. "About five years ago the board mandated it," Heaman added. "This is our third go around ifl setting up a merit recognition program." "[Prev!ously] we really didn't have effective evaluation procedures initiated," Heaman said. The president wanted to be very careful in setting up an evaluauon system so it would be fair. accurate, and impartiai. Heaman felt they have refined the procedure. He said, "This year we're going to go Wlth it." The procedure is still in the draft stage at this point. At a meeting scheduled for today, faculty members will have an opportunity to offer suggestions to change and improve it. The proposed system is a threepo int system: 3 ·= excellent, 2 = very good, 1 :;: - satisfactory accomplishment, and O = unsatisfactory performance. Each faculty member receiving a 2 or 3 rating will get a bonus. A specific amount of money will be designated each year for bonuses. The bonus pool will then be divided by the total amount of points accumulated by all faculty members who are receiving bonuses. This will determine a point value. Then , each faculty member will receive a bonus based on their raling. Example: pool total is $70,000, point total is 140 (20 with a 3 ating and 40 with a 2 rating equals 140). You wottld then divide $70,000 by 140 and get a Continued on p. 5 �PAGE TWO ebruazy 12, 198_7 §W:=:'·;=·:}'~:····t·=··. =·=·=·@·~=:•·•~·=·=~•·•·==•·· ❖:❖~❖=❖~❖✓-⇒~•:❖:❖:•:•:-:, :: ~: •• •:•:: kE d 1· tor 1·a•:m•=~·=·=•===•=••===•==•====•=·•· ·••===•=·=·=·•···~·····•·= Attention: IE::::::■:;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::::::::::::: Winter Weekend-- Beacon '' a lack of maturit gets a and discipline" new look! I don't know whether I should commend students for their participation and involvement in the Winter Weekend activities of last weekend or to condemn them for displaying a lack of maturity and discipline--to say the least. There were 22 teams, a total of about 308 students, who competed in the events. This number increased substantially from last year. Such involvement is greatly needed on the Wilkes College campus--perhaps this is the beginning of a change in attitude among students. However, there is a big difference between school spirit and animalistic behavior. One should be able to yell and cheer for team members, but is breaking four tables in the process really necessary? I think not. Also, I would have thought that college aged students, by this point in their life, would know how to conduct themselves in public, especially since they are representatives and a reflection of Wilkes College. When students line both sides of the road near Ralston Field and harrass cars passing by and kick car doors, I begin to wonder about the maturity level of such students. . Part of the problems last weekend can certainly be attributed to a lack of organization. Gathering 308 students in Stark 101 in order to pass out the rules and regulations is ridiculous. The team captains, just the team captains, should have been present for this meeting. The team pep rally should have been saved for the gym--a larger and more logical area. It was also reported that in between events the judges fought among themselves, a sure sign of unorganization, while bored team members threw snowballs. The entire event would probably have been in more control if there had been more supervision. Students were left loose and could not control their freedom. I'm all for having a good time, but there is a limit. College is considered to be "the best four years of your life." It is also a time for growing and maturing. The behavior of many of the students at Winter Weekend is a sad commentary on the maturity of the students at Wilkes College. It's time the students of Wilkes begin to act their age! The Beacon VOL.

Wilkes is a liberal arts you lament to yourself, ~n the tenth letter. Virginia, Wilkes was a college. But that was in old days, before the new · ulum was implem~nted , the year you entered Wilkes as a freshman. You see, someone decided to revise Wilkes' core in the 1980s. A model core was proposed in February, 1987, and approved that May. That core--the one that went into effect in 1990--featured many changes from the old core. Most noticeable was the change in "Distribution Requirements," which were reduced by more than half, from 45 to 21 credits. Some of the changes, to be fair, were for the better. Before your year, no one had to take a foreign language. The two semesters of French you. had your sophomore year certainly gave you one advantage over other job applicants. And the "Common Experience" courses you had to take did give you a common link with all other Wilkes freshmen and helped you to see how different academic disciplines fit together. It's a pity, though, but these courses didn't offset the damage done by cutting the core in half. Before your year, all Wilkes students had to take 18 credits in the humanities--six credits in each of three different academic areas. This gave graduates an introduction to the great philosophers, exposure to classic literature, and a knowledge of the full range of history from ancient times until today. For you, it was different. You only took six credits in the humanities--and those credits were in two different subjects. So you took a semester of history and a semester of world literature, and your instructors covered all the centuries of human existence in four short months. Needless to say, you can't remember enough about either history or literature to answer questions on Jeopardy. It was the same with mathematics/science and social science requirements. Instead of the 12 credits in each that previous Wilkes grads needed, you only had to take six, again in two different disciplines. So you took a semester of oceanography and a course on how to use the Macintosh. Well, that would have been fine, if you hadn't tried to apply to companies which specialized in chemical research or computer design. They wanted you to be familiar with some of the It's eleven p.m. · youknowwhereyourpaperis? technical aspects of the field in order to understand the company's reports and newsletters; you didn't have the background, but another applicant for the first job had taken a few semesters of general chemistry, and an applicant for the second job knew Cobol and Fortran. Guess who got the jobs? As for the social sciences, you decided to take sociology and anthropology. Good courses, but they gave you no background in psychology or political science, and your employers were looking for someone who knew something about current government policies and about human behavior and motivations. Other applicants, those who'd followed a more traditional liberal arts core and taken such courses, were hired. Some people at Wilkes would say it was your fault you didn't get the courses you needed. "The classes were there," they would say, "and it was up to you to design your own program to reach your academic goals." True, true. But how many freshmen or sophomores know what their academic goals are? You, for example, spent your first two years taking core courses and common experience courses because you hadn't decided on a major yet. By the time you'd found your majors, it was too late to go back and pick up extra courses. And now, Virginia, it's too late for you to go back and change your major, or your mind, for that matter. You're done at Wilkes, you've got your 4iploma, and you think you're ready for the real world. But you're not qualified for the job, because there are too many holes in your college education that Wilkes' "revised" core curriculum failed to plug up. It's funny, though. You wouid think that Wilkes students would have thought of these consequences in 1987 and voiced their suggestions for revisions to the existing core. But several open meetings were held in March, 1987, and no students went to speak out. Sure, they protested later, as you'll probably be doing after a few more rejection letters come in. But it's too late now to do anything about it, isn't it, Virginia? Let's be real. Compare the equipment she's using to yours. If you were both trying to tunnel through a mountain, she'd have a bulldozer and you'd have a shrimp fork Don't despair. Your problem is already half-solved. For a limited time, you can buy an Apple®Macintosh'" Plus or a Macintosh Sl?K Enhanced computer with Microsoft Works- for less money. Which is wonderful. You get a Macintosh, with its speed, ease of use, and graphics capability. Plus, you get a software program that lets you use all this Macintosh power in all your subjects. Microsoft Works is not just one program, it's four integrated programs: word processing, data-base management, spreadsheet with charting, and communications. Meaning you can put charts in your history essays. Spreadsheets in your economics papers. Call Dow Jones News/ Retrieval at 2:00 A.M. to get the facts for your journalism story due at 8:00 A.M. So if you're taking more than one subject this semester, you should check out Macintosh and Microsoft Works. But don't wait till the eleventh hour. This offer will end soon. And your paper might stay out all night.

The chairperson will then consult with the appropriate college/school dean regarding the rating. Finally, administrators at the cabinet level will be consulted to insure uniformity of the rating system. The proposed merit system is facing opposition from some faculty members. "This whole question of merit_ pay is a smoke screen to divert the attention of the faculty from the real issue of low salaries," said Walter Placek, Associate Professor of Physics and Chairman of the Wilkes College Faculty Association. "How can the investiture consider this a first-class college when they pay the faculty, the lifeblood of an institution, a third-class salary?" Placek added. "I have a suspicion that while the faculty salary scale is low for a college of this size, the admin. istration salaries may not be," Placek said. "I feel the inability to manage the problem of salaries may be caused, in part, by a top-heavy administration," he added. · "Rather than have merit pay, we ought to- be concerned with getting people up to a living wage. Then we can think about merit pay," said another faculty member, who chose not to be identified. Other concerns were that the whole system would be political and that people would "play favorites." Teaching is too subjective. Depending op. the course a teacher may be judged as too difficult when in fact he or she is actually a very good, very demanding teacher with high standards. "I do, for the most part, support the proposal because raises should be given on the basis of merit," another professor said. "Why should a faculty member who contributes outside of the classroom and spends extra time with students be paid the same salary as one who rushes home as soon as class is over?" - - Attention All Nursing and Engineering_ Maiors: You are cordially invited to attend the first annual Nursing/Engineering Dinner Dance.

Over were glorified as one Valentine and said to be saint of engaged couples anyone wishing to marry. le in the Middle Ages that birds mated on this this came the belief men and women would do the same. Another theory on how Valentine's Day originated involves the Roman celebration of Lupercalia on February 15th. The festival honored the pastoral ,god Lupercus (a Roman version of the Greek god Pan) and the goddess Juno Februata. A feast was held for Lupercus and some type of mating ritual was performed for Juno. During the celebration, young Roman males chose names of females who would be their partners for the new year which began in March. Literary researchers have reported that the letters "v" and "g" were once interchangeable in common speech. Galantin, the Norman word for "lover of women," was at one time written and pronounced "valantan" or "valentin." This pronounciation mix-up may be how the two days, which otherwise had no proven link, came to be celebrated as one day. Christian conquerers adopted these pagan holidays, combining them with Christian traditions. The re1.gning Christians, however, came up with the idea of having Day?

Gemini-Forget about your past relationships and think about today's Concentrate on what happens as it happens and the future will take care of itself. Cancer-Stop thinking that nobody likes you. There's nothing wrong with you--it's everybody else who's screwed up. You'll be surrounded by real friends this weekend. Leo-Make an attempt to correct some sloppy habits.

Each youth was then told to practice the virtues of the_ saint he or she chose. This idea was not very appealing, even though the old practice (of choosing a member of opposite sex) was forbidden by the early European Christian church. That practice of old resurfaced again--this time in France. The French . held great Valentine Balls, where "Maids" and "Bachelors" cast billets to dance with their favorite Valentines. Since that time in the late 1800's, Valentine's Day has become a holiday for lovers and friends. Lovers continue their games. Guys send girls flowers and notions, and girls send guys love notes and other gifts. Children send presents to their parents or friends and create fancy valentines of construction paper and lace to send to classmates, counting the days 'ti! they recieve cards from friends. Why celebrate Valentine's PAGE SEVEN Libra-An upcoming trip should prove to be a source of much pleasure and romance. If no trip is planned, be on the lookout for a wild and crazy Aries to take you away from it all! Scorpio-This weekend should be one of the best of the semester. Lay down your books and go out and enjoy yourself. You deserve it! Sagittarius-Friends who are far from you are missing you terribly this week. Give them a call or write them a long letter and assure them of your sanity. You are one much loved. Capricorn-Be real! Sleeping with your books under your pillow is one sure way to flunk out of college. Either study, cheat or devise another method of gaining knowledge! Aguarius-A member of the opposite sex will take an immense interest in you. Be careful, though , this person may not be the type of person you want hanging around. Pisces-Beware of men or women in uniform. Maybe you should lock yourself up for a few weeks, things are not looking good.

In 1963, a young Columbia recording artist tactfully heralded the widening generation gap: "Come mothers and fathers throughout the land/ And don't criticize what you don't understand/ Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command." This theme is still being addressed through music today. Three young Columbian recording artists are calling to the young : "Living at home is such a drag/ Now your mom threw away your best porno mag." The prophetic poetry of Bob Dylan in "The Times They Are AChangin"' has been replaced two decades later by the delinquent rap of the Beastie Boys who have issued a battle cry to the wayward young: "Fight for your right to party!" "Music is a pow_erful medium but its potential is being squandered b y song wra•ters ...II The song is ostensibly a mockery. Kids, however do not make that inference. They're writing it on their notebook covers and carving it into junior high school desk tops. Perhaps they include an illustration--that ubiquitous pot leaf, scrawled on school property with a botanist's accuracy. • ••• The Beastie Boys have the fastest selling album in Columbia's history. This brings to mind the following question: Where are we at? The United Nations recently blacklisted Paul Simon in South Africa, for recording his album Graceland, one of the most innovative albums in years. And the Beastie Boys are massmarketing degeneration. Music is a powerful medium, but its potential is being squandered by song writers who favor insipid lyrics. tines like "Show me that you give a damn" and the clever similie 'Tm higher than a kite," from Survivor, cause teen girls to tum up the volume. Or a typical weightless eighties lyric such as, "Are we victims of circumstance when destinies collide?" will surely cause an enamored cheerleader to exclaim, "That's just like me and Scott!" If the FCC begins censoring albums it should consider what standard to use. I think stupid lyrics should be the first to be discarded--anything that can prove to augment the confusion of an adolescent The Beastie Boys would be allowed to record on 8track. Our taste in music is tumbling. On the black-listed album Paul Simon sings, "Every generation throws a hero off the pop charts." Paul Simon is one o a few musicians who allows th term "pop music" and "good music" to be synonymous. ■.•■-L■ --■-- ATTENTION BSN CLASS OF 1987. ' The Air Force has a special program for 1987 BSNs.

He also knew that the most successful club in cup history is the New York Yacht Club. Also, I must mention that Slocum Hall must have been studying up on the America's Cup instead of Economics, Math, History, or whatever else they study over there. After Don's correct answer, we received several more correct answers from the residents of Slocum. Way to go guys!

Wilkes found out quickly what kind of match it would be as Dennis Mejias was called for stalling and was forced to settle for a 5-5 tie with Bob Kirkpatrick. Ron Miller then put the Colonels ahead with a hard fought 10-9 victory over Paul Kuznik. Andre Miller gave the Colonels an 8-2 lead as he defeated Army's Tod Messit by a score of 5-0. Wilkes' Gary Sanchez pulled off another close victory for the Colonels as he defeated Army's Brian Bartos 2-1. Cadet Mike French scored a victory over Colonel Joe Ianuzzi by a 10-8 score. Things didn't get any better for Wilkes as sophomore Frank Goldowski lost to Army's John Puppley. This cut the Wilkes lead to only two points. Craig Rome put some more points on the board for Wilkes with a 9-4 decision over Bill Boice. This gave Wilkes what would turn out to be their last lead of the match, 14- 9. Army's Cliff Harris and Don Costigan sealed the victory for the Cadets. Harris pinned Frank Richards to give Army the lead at 15-14. Costigan posted a technical fall over Mark Palanchi. Steve Schannaur won the final match by a decision over Steve Lyle to make the final score, Army 21, Wilkes 17. The Colonels also dropped their second match as Clemson swept the last three weight classes to give the Tigers a 21 -16 victory. Brian Bauer had a tough task m the match as he went up against Curt Howell. Howell is ranked 11th in the country at 118-pounds. Bauer gave Howell all he could handle before bowing 7-6. Dennis Mejias moved up to 126-pounds and got back on the winning track as he pinned Clemson's Darren Simmons. Wilkes upped it's lead to 9-3 when Andre Miller decisioned Bill Domask:y, 6-3. Clemson closed the gap to 9-6 as Bob Taylor defeated Gary Sanchez 8-4. Joe Ianuzzi lost his second tough match of the afternoon as he lost a close 4-2 decision to Bill Orr. With the score tied at 9, Frank Goldowski put the Colonels back on top with a 7-6 decision over Dave Lassiter. Craig Rome upped the Colonels' lead to 16-9 with a major decision over Jim Atkinson. Lady luck was not sitting on the Wilkes bench this Saturday, though. Frank Richards lost a tough 6-5 decision and Matt Palanchi suffered a 7-5 loss to Doug Slottmaker. The Colonels held a slim 1615 lead going into the heavyweight match, but all hopes of victory ended when Clemson's Brian Raber pinned Steve Schannauer Willces bounced backD Rutgers, 26-16, 10 end meet skid.

Problems under consideration include "what kind of thin.gs . would go into the distribution" and what would be an "adequate n.umbet of credit hours," she added. Acco.rdi.o.g to Beaman. there is also talk about "not offering the distribution ·.requirements according to traditio.o.al academic units. but coming up with new creative clusters" such as "Technology and Society," "Values," and "Man and His Environment." Cutting the number of credit hours required in these disciplines also means. · Beaman said. that "we'll have to come up with new courses" to provide onesemester overviews of subjects now covered in two semesters. "It frees up a lot of hours," Beaman observed. Beaman said that the Continued on p. 3 In a few yea.rs Wil.tes stude.o.ts may not need to take 18 credits in the human.ities. 12 credits i.o. social scie.o.ces. and 12 credits in mathematics or scie.o.ce. A model for a revised core curriculum was proposed January 13. and it suggests some substa.o.tial changes may be i.o. the works. "The proposed model is .really open," said Robert Beaman. Associate Dean. for Academic Affairs. "We're t.ryi.o.g to create space for interdisciplinary courses." The current proposal. according to Sharon Telban. Chairperson of the Co.re Curriculum Review Committee. is the "same ge.o.eral model presented since last year." This model cuts the number of distribution. requirements from 4~ credits to 21 credits, reducin.g the number of required courses i.o. the humanities. in mathematics and the sciences, and in the social sciences. It adds •.• ,. ,,,,,,.,, ,.., 12 credits of "Common E:iperience" courses to the co.re and adds foreign language to the cu.rre.o.t "Proficiencies" requirements in English and l << n LS III in math/computer scie.o.ce. According to the schedule of "Curricular Objectives," Wilkes is currently in its second year of a six-year plan to implement a revised core. The .new curriculum will not actually go into effect until Fall, 1989. although "pieces" might be introduced "as early as nut year," according to Telban. Telba.o. noted that the 1+1:aa biggest controversy and the greatest discussion have centered on the distribution requireme.o.ts, particularly on the number of credits that should be .required in �Pebnmy 5. 1937 PACE TWO -Eciitorial Proposed core curriculum-~ yes or no? The top story in this wee.k's B6•co.Dis of major importance. The co.re .requirements for Wil.tes College are presently undergoing a reevaluation process. The decision to change the co.re will affect the present students of the College and the future students. On page four appears the proposed curricular model as of January 13. 1987. The model. as it appears he.re, has both positive and negative aspects. The most drastic changes in the co.re requirements are seen in the ·distribution .requirements" area and in a newly established area entitled ·common experience: The "common experience" area includes three credits each of "Freshman Symposium I & II" and two three credit "Integ.rative/lnte.rdisciplinary" courses. "Freshman Symposium I &JI" includes writing/word processing and is . designed to increase proficiency in speaking stills. critical thin.ting, and bibliographic (library) technology. It is also proposed that the course include ~ndividual or group conferences between students and faculty. In addition, students will attend lectures. concerts, plays, and sporting events. This course idea, in and of itself. is good. It would provide a mo.re comprehensive introduction to cotlege. teaching f .reshmen how to grasp and apply concepts. and how to approach college learning in general. The "Integ.rative/1.nte.rdisciplinary" courses are a viable idea as well. These · courses would allow students to incorporate what they ---------- Cardiac monitoring course offered to nurses Due to the increasing interest in Cardiac Monitoring. D.r.

The proposed co.re cu.r.ricular model is Jae.ting, however. in the area of "distribution .requirements."

But a College omnipotent enough to foresee snow months in advance viU surely let us know what to do grated manufacturing. Local industry is shoving great interest in Wilkes· nev systems. The advanced abilities of such programs as these are · of great aid to technology. Classes have been arranged fo.r the purpose of educating employees of the industries involved. The relationship between College and the community is beneficial. as each supports the other. The future of the system is bright. By the end of this semester. Wil.tes will have one of the area's newest CAD/CAE facilities and capabilities on campus. Also by the same time. distributing computing and work stations will be constructed to facilitate access to the equipment. Students currently use certain modes of the program on the Data General terminal. "The nev facilities will be automatic extensions for the courses," noted Nejib.

Each year IRHC and CC sponsor the Halloween. Christmas. Valentine's Day. and April Fools Day dances, splitting the cost fifty-fifty. Last spri.na Commuter Council did not submit a budget request for this year to Student Government. Because they did .not submit a budget request. they were not give.n any fu.nds to finance the activities they are supposed to co-sponsor. IRBC footed the entire bill for the Christmas dance with the promise that they would be reimbursed at a later date. According to a member of CC. IRHC .never . received the mo.ney . Whe.n it came time to start ma.ting arra.ngemettts for the Vale.nti.ne's Day dinner dance, IRHC told CC they would have to come up with the entire amou.nt ($3200) .needed to ru.n the dance or they would .not be .named as co-sponsors of the dance. Because CC has .not yet submitted a budget request they still do not have the futtds to finance half the cost. let alo.ne foot the e.ntire bill. O.n Friday CC submitted a fund request to Student Gove.r.nme.nt requesting $3200 to finance the dance. but .not a single member of CC was present· at the meeting to make a first readi.ng. John Jankowski. preside.nt of IRHC was prese.nt at the meeti.ng. He explained some of Ule items on the fund request. but he did not propose the request for the first reading. Dea.n Adams stated that Student Goverttment would be spe.nding over $10.000 o.n dinner dances alone this semester. He suggested that IRHC and CC try something different. Jan.towsi. however. argued that the Valenti.ne's Day dinner dance is a tradition betwee.n the two organizatio.ns that should .not be bro.ten. A meeting was held on Tuesday. February 3 to try to reach some kind of decision co.ncerning the dance. After an hour of discussion. it was decided that CC would try to get the cost of the dinner dance dow.n $2~0 by eliminating the hors d'oeuvres and reduci.ng the .number of bartenders from three to two (this will bring the cost of gratuity down). At the next Student Governme.nt meetina, an IRHC representative will be on hand to mate a proposal. They will be requesting $,00. It has been decided that IRHC wm foot the entire bill for the Valentine's dinner dance on the condition that CC will be responsible for the April Fool's dance.

Pennsylvania, and Texas (CPS)-- Since Jan. l. legislators in seven states have proposed creative new programs to let moms and pops "enroll" their infants and children in college years in advance. The programs--now a fad among administrators--vary in detail. but generally let people prepay tuition for their children up to 18 years before the kids get to college. Wbile as many as 60 private. generally small campuses have adopted such programs since 1984. in recent weeks whole states moved toward applying them to vast public college systems. Michigan adopted a prepaid tuition plan two months ago. Now Florida. l11inois. Indiana, Maryland, Missouri, lawmakers have jumped on the still-untested idea. As many as 3l others have expressed interest in it. He.re's how a state college program would work: Parents pay a sum of money to a college fund when their child is very young. The state ;reasury manages the fund and invests the money. which earns interest. In theory, the interest will multiply into enough money during the 1'.) to 18 years to pay for tuition by the time the child gets to college. Pa.rents get a guarantee they won't have to pay more in tuition even if prices rise. and don't have to pay ta'les on the interest.

Now it is time for The State of the Campus ... Students, faculty, administration, ud friends, a new semester is upon us. As we look back to the past semester, it becomes clear that our cam.pus f am.ily has had some problems. It is also evident that we have shared m.uy successes. The Stark Lobby, for example, has undergone a m.ajo.r face lift. The lobby has been transformed from a rather dark ud dismal intersection--a wide open area greatly lacking in adequate seating--into a bright, cheerful communal setting. Campus lighting has also been imp.roved. The area between Kirby Hall a.nd the library is now well lit so that students no longer have .reason to fear the journey home. And let us not forget the vo.r.lt of the newly established Program.ming Board. The orguization has continued its work from. last year, bringing with it a renewed feelin.g of optimism to our student community. The Programming Board has provided the students with a variety of activities including dances, top rate coffeehouse pe.rfo.rmers, ud movies.that have been box office hits. Y/ilkes College, hoveve.r, has not been immune to its share of problems. Tate, for instance, the neverending problem of student apathy. AU of us are probably so sick of hearing that word. We eat, sleep, an.d drink apathy!! WiU the problem ever be solved? Probably not, considering that even the source of the problem. cu.not be agreed upon. We have also witnessed the ei:ponential growth of the administrative hierarchy of Wilkes. Between Dean soan.d-so an.d Vice President what's his name, -students cu.not figure out who is supposed to sign what!! Instead of trying to name all of the United States' presidents, many students are seen challenging their peers to name Ill of the Wilkes College administrators. Nov we are at the threshold of a new semester. And we can .rest assured that the current regime wi11 fulfill all of its promises to imp.rove life at Wilkes. If they don't, we can., of course, always vote someone else in ne:it November, .right? Hey, wait a minute .... 1tfJe J.Sucou VOL.

Hartdagen explained that • getting people home early" was an additional concern on those days. ·we try to mate a decision before 3 p.m. for the evening school," he said. - No CoUege-wide plus have been made to mate up those missed classes, according to Hartdagen.

II I I I I ~---------------------------------------J �PA<ESII jlouary 29. 1987 • Super Bowl remains a mystery by Lorri Stei.abacher Have you ever wo.aderecl what the big deal about the Super Bowl is? Year after year I questio.a its eiiste.ace and year after year I come up with .ao answer. This year. I decided to actually watch the game and u-y IO clear up ihe Bia Mystery: Guess what? I'm more co.afused than ever. Finl of all. the Super Bowl mates an irreparable dent in meals. My relatives actually plan meals arou.ad football. Naturally. those infinite 1eniuses who plaa the Super Bowl plan it to coi.acide perfectly with every normal huaua being's dinner time. So. di.aner must be rushed th.rough or sened in f .ront of the TV so as .aot to miss one exciting moment of the action-pacted p.rog.ram. F.rom the moment I flicted on the TV at <C:00 I was amazed--& wo hour pregame show?! I don't tnow about most people but my genuine (and obviously misguided) belief was thal the pre-game show was sup,osed to be just that--& short introduction to the eveni.ag·~ actual festivites. I'm sorry. but wo hours of g.row.a me.a pontificaling on which team has more advanta,es and which players are taller. larger. or stronger is just too much for anyone to handle. All of those thi.a1s could really be taken care of in the span of o.ae half hour. Instead we. the defenseless viewers. are subjected to wo hours of Pat Summerall and john Madden telli.a1 us about the weather in Pasadena. I do.a't .t.aow about you. but the last thing I want IO hear about while sittina i.a a foot of SJlow is that it is n dearees someplace I am .aot. Eve.a the most hard-core football fans should be1i.a IO worry when the pre-game show tates lo.ager than the sporting event iuetr. The i.at.roductio.a of the players following the pregame show was goi.ag to be the most important part for me. After all. these · are strong and virile men even if they do have the misfortune of bei.ag football players. As the players were i.at.roduced I actually thought I might get psyched. U.ofortunat.ety, however. the players heads (perhaps o.ae of the most important parts) were covered with those at.rocious helmets. Now. I realize that helmets are .tind of important in a sport thal can be easily compared to getting mowed down by a steam .roller. but could.a't they just tate the helmets off long enough for us girls to get a loot at them? So much for the ei:citi.aa part of the game. The.a. as if wo hours of pre-game torture isn't e.aouah. Neil Diamond has to come out and massacre the national anthem. Come on. Nt1il Di•.111oad. the man .tnow? Yell, enoup the pa4lS off of lily what is my favorill might ut. I doa'I about you, but I feel hasn't put a decent record out in ten years. if ever. At least give the non-football fan so.111t11/Jia1to loot forward to. Boot Bruce Springsieen. Bob Dylan. or even Huey Lewis and the News. Listening to Diamond barely c.roat out the anthem was taatamount to listening IO cats havi.ag sex outside your bed.room window. Then. as if your ears haven't had enough. the 1ame actually starts. Otay, I can handle the actual game for about ten mi.autes. After ten minutes. everything begins to loot the same. Every si.agle play loots &lite. Thant God the two teams' uniforms are different colors or I would really get confused. Maybe it's my intense dislite of the game. but football all seems so senseless. G.rown men th.roving themselves on top of each other. tnoc.ting each other down. almost looting as if they really want to hurt someone. Fran.tly. I thin.t Si1mu.nd Freud would have something to say to all of these men. And it wouldn't be preu.y either. Interspersed between all of this oh-so-exciting football are the advertisements.

Being on the winnina team undoubtedly contributed to his fame a.ad to his commercial success. The Super Bowl game has been saturated with "Big• Duct" commercials. The price for advertising space during the 1ame has .reached astouadio.1 fi1u.res. Players are also seen wearing various clothing with a distinguishable trademark. The players may be turning into waiting billboards. Commercialization has seeped into other sports-related areas besides the Super Bowl just take a loot at the Olympics. The 198.f Olympics, as well as Olympic games in past years. was accompa.aied by scads of compa.aies cwmiag to be the "official supplier for the Olympic Games" for whatever products they were trying to push. The Olympics had an official son drink. an official soap, a.a official shampoo, a.ad the list goes on.

However. without compa.ay sponsorships. the big sportia1 eveats would probably be aoaexisteat. But to what eitent is such commercialization necessary? It forces one to woade.r if the real competition is in the sports arena or behind corporate doors. 1UJcJeacou VOL.

I was en.remely frus- trated and disheartened to read the article ·eommiuee calls for opinion" in Ule December ◄ _issue of Tll, Bt1•co11. I was not frustra&ed because the article was wriuen or that the committee wu formed, but because there seems to be a .need for such a committee. I honestly feel the CoJlege is in sad shape when • committee concerned with the falling social skiUs of students.has to be formed. Basically, the committee seems to be worried about the maturity level of students.

Just as with the grades, many of the complaints I've heard about .registration forms have resulted from confusion and .lack of explanations. The most frequent complaint about these forms is that many people didn't know where to pick them up. I talked to two commuters who said that they called the school last Monday in a state of panic because they had AO ido,. where their classrooms were ud no iclN. where to pic.t up the forms. CoAsidering that for muy peopte, a .&aco.D article tast semester was the o.nly source of this information. it's easy to see where the confusion came from. 1f someone hadn't read the article. had lost it. or had for1otten what it said, he'd be ten with no idea of what to do or where to 10. And I've sat in a few classes this semester w,bere peopte with registration forms from tast semester that said "tba" under "Room Number" tried to set the numbers from classmates who'd picked up their forms.

Whe.n. Ralston bega.n. Yor.ti.ng closely Yith alumni. he found that the alu.m.ni's .memories of Hoover Yere "of the very highest."

A copy of t/J11 11ulo1y ras i.aclud#d i.a t/J11 pro1nJ11 for Tuesday's Jlll1.lllOFJ'a.J SlllrYJCtl,) Arthur Hoover YU many thiJlas io aU of us. He was a colleague, he was a confidaat, he ,ras a teacher, he YU a role model, a.n. eiample. But mostly, io each of us iJl very diffe.re.nt ways, I would have to say for each of us, "Arthur Hoover was .my friend." Be YU just simply, totally, a.n.d ·completely my friend. Arthur did.n't have a.n.y acquai.ntuces--1111 might have thought of t/J11m as aquaintuces--but t/Jt1y considered /Jim their friend. As a colleague, eighteen yea.rs ago Arthur toot me ever so gently, never forceflJJly, under his wing a.n.d taught me the ways of Wiltes--its rich lore--just as I've see.n. him do for Phil WiJlgert, for Jodie Kest, for Mart Allen, for Mart Sowci.t. You didn't have to wort for or Yith Arthur--he still, gently, became your colleague and helped you. And yesterday morning I was in Art's office Yith a young ma.n. who had a.n. appoiJltme.n.t to see Dea.n. Hoover. I had not met t.he boy before. He sat in front of me and said, simply, "Mr. Hoover alYays /Jt1/ptld me when I Yas here. He Yas the first person I met whe.n I came to Wil.tes. He always 1111/pt,d me." So .ma.n.y hundreds, thousa.n.ds of students at the College could say the same. As Paul Adams a.n.d I bega.n. io wort at Art's des.t, no less than half a doze.n letters surfaced--all written this fall--all from graduates--echoing the same sentiment, " You made it possible." " You got me th.rough." " You always helped me." Some of those letters came to Art by Yay of congratulating him on his appointment as the new Dean of Student Affairs. And let t.he record be clear--how Arthur n.a/lld that job a.n.d hoy Arthur loved that job! Arthur spent bis Jife preparing for t.hat job, foJlowi.n.g t.he Hample of t.he mentor .ma.n.y of us were privileged to have i.n. George Ralston. And even though his tenure as the Dea.n. was brief, Art made his mart. Those of us closest to him logistically saw his dedicatio.n only increase--if that be possible--saY his hours on the job only exte.n.ded--if that be possible. A.n.d just as we all .t.n.ew Arthur was fu.n to be wit.h, ArthuJ" was fu.n to wort Yith. Be mM/tl it flJ.n.. Although he was a very public ma.n.--he t.n.ew everybody it seemed--he was also a very private man, but you always .t.new he cared about you. And he always made time for you. O.n.e of our nicest, most recent memories of Art is t.hat on the Wednesday before Than.tsgiviJlg, when all the students were gone a.n.d t.he campus YU quiet, Arthur spent several hours i.n. his secretaries' office--just plain old visiting with Peggy Jones a.n.d Vivian Post. And when I called him late in the day he told me Yhat a great time /Jt1 had with tllt1.lll. How typical of Art! Some of my best memories of Art have to center around him at Co.m.me.nce.ment time. I can't ever forget the vigor with which he sang the Alma Mater, the pride Yith which he wore his twenty-year medallion, t.he pride wit.h which he led graduates o.n.to the field. Others of us accompanied other contingents o.n.to the field--but hoY perfect, hoy p,rf11ct it was that A.rt.bur Jed t.he students. President B.reiset.h said it all i.n. his memo to the faculty, staff, student body, a.n.d alumni when he Yrote about Arthur, "In his life and wort Art Hoover personified Wil.tes College. His loyalty to his Alma Mater was unsurpassed, his service was e1emplary, a.n.d his spirit was, lite the College, indomitable. We shall not soon see his lite again." It is fitting that we gather at this time of year for Arthur. Arthur loYefl Christ.mas. We spent a lot of time t.he last wee.t or so tailing about Christ.mas and shoppi.n.1 and presents. The night before A.rt died I had gone shopping. I bought some German tree ornaments for some friends of mfoe. I specifically selected a Santa, a school, a church, and a heart. Although these ornaments weren't my present for Arthur, they could well have been, because t.hese items spo.te to Arthur's loves: t.he season of Christ.mas, the school, his faith, and mostly the heart he had that reached out and embraced each one of us. It's the season of Advent i.n. our Christia.n. faith. It's the season of preparing. of becoming ready to celebrate .n.ev life in our midst. I would lite to think that all of us gathered i.n. tbis Church today have come here to celebrate Arthur's life, to loot at his life and to prepare ourselves to be better because of h.is e:a:ample. And I would offer a than.t you to Arthur from each and every o.n.e of us--a simple thank you, Arthur. "thailt you, because I'm glad you were my friend: they have e.n.cou.n.tered iJl their .relationships with their al.i,ia mater," he said. Theodore Engel, dea.n. of the School of BusiJless and Eco.nomics. also spo.te of the great impact Hoover had o.n. Wil.tes College. "It's so hard to sum up in a few words," Engel said. "His mai.n. impact was .not o.n. the bricks or mortar, but on the students." Engel added, "He was always enremely supportive of academic programs. He Yor.ted i.n. a cooperative fashion between students and faculty rather tha.n. in an adversarial fashion." A memorial service for Dean Hoover was held Tuesday during activities period. It was, as La.mpeGroh said, "a celebration" of his life. Lampe-Groh o service with a welcome, saying 'I have to close my imagine that Arthur us today.

The surveys show overall demand has shifted from manufacturing to service jobs. Engineering oppo.rtu.nities are down .nine percent and non-engineering opportunities are up five percent, Lindquist added. Students majoring in civil and mechanical ensineeri.ng, home economics, ag.ricultu.re, geolosy and advertising will probably have the hardest time getting jobs, the surveys suggest. Top startins salaries will go to electrical, mechanical, and chemical engineers. all breatfog the $29,000 per year mart. But the flat demand and the large numbe.r of graduates mean higher salaries will go to students with the best grades and internship experience, Lindquist said.

James Thompson. opposed the new law, which goes into effect ne:itterm. Many schools · already .require foreign-born teaching assistants (TAs) to pass language tests before they are allowed to teach. But now some state legislatures want to mate such tests mandatory at public campuses, overriding the protests of administrators who say in-house proficiency tests are sufficient. So far, only four states--Flo.rida, Ohio, Missou.ri, and lllinois--have legislated teacher English proficiency tests. Other states are considering such Jaws or waiting for coJJeges to implement their own programs.
