"Instead of la.ting a course they may not be interested in. students can take CS 11~ and get a new perspective on- computer languages. If they find they are interested. they may _go on further." According to DeCosmo. this new course serves a dual purpose. Besides being the beg1nn1ng course in the CIS major it also fulfills the requirements for computer litera.cv. lieg1nn1ng with the class of l~s. Wilkes students will be eipected to be "computer lite rate." "The CoUege -hasn't precisely defined 'computer literacy,' but they' re working on it. This new computer course is ou.r attempt to further define ·computer literacy,'" DeCosmo said. Presently. most Wilkes CoUege students are required to take some computer science or math courses. CS 11~ can be of help to those who are nonscientific thinkers. "If a student needs to fulfiU the requirement of computer literacy, but does not wish to late math or a computer laaguage course, they may take CS 11~ and gain a wider perspective on computers and their use," DeCosmo said. DeCosmo said that for the moment he has no immediate plans for future courses. He is very enthusiastic about this course. though. and hopes that students share his enthusiasm.

In fact, SG vilLsee its proposed budget for the first time this Monday night. To some, this might only be another bureaucratic foul-up . But students should be avare that this particular foul-up is costing them in "things to do" on campus, things that they paid for with their activity fee . For those vho are not avare of the logistics involved, SG is responsible for breaking down the student activities budget, which is the accumulation of the $50 student activity fee each student is required to pay yearly. These funds are then delegated to the various clubs and organizations that are "line items" on the SG budget. In the past, SG sent out budget requests to these organizations and clubs in mid-March. This alloved time to discuss the requests, make adjustments, and present a proposed budget to the body of SG before the summer. The administration would then approve the budget during the summer. Thus, the funds for organizations and subsequent activities would be available even before the fall semester began. "With the exception of the last two years, Student Government's budget was always approved before the end of the spring semester," according to Dean Hoover, SG advisor. Last year, the budget was not approved until sometime in October. Apparently, the .rationale behind this six-month delay in budget proceedings was that it would be better to wait until the new SG president and officers we.re elected in mid-April. I must point out that an effort could have been made to send out budget .requests even in. April. At the least, the budget could have been approved in the first two wee.ts of the fall semester. Student Government has fallen into the same trap ~is year. Meanwhile, the campus organizations are waiting for their funds to proceed vith their plans and activities. Yes. Student Government has sponsored tvo parties already. but then SG knows it will have enough funds in the long .run.. It is the other organizations that can.not do long-term planning because they are not necessarily assured of adequate funds. For e1ample, the Student Center Board has a brand new director who cannot ma.te plans for Student Center activities until the SG budget is approved. Every member of Student Government, but particularly the officers, has a responsibility to the students of Wilkes College. And the responsibility that these student leadership positions carry is great. In order to fulfill the duties of the office. one must be villiJlg to mate the effort to keep things running smoothly. Granted. it can be very difficult to juggle these duties in addition to the responsibilities of a full-time student. But each prospective student leader must decide if he can handle the burdens of office before he runs. ·drink responsibly, To the editor: It has become a concern of mine over the wee.tend as to if students really can "drink responsibly." As stated on page 33 of the Student Handbook: "It should be clearly understood that students who demonstrate a lack of responsibility and maturity in. the use of alcohol will be advised to participate in programs pertaining · to alcohol education. and/or abuse. Students who continue to demon.st.rate inappropriate, irresponsible, and immature behavior due to e1cessive drinking will be subject to disciplinary action ." Now. before I even continue. let me set the record straight. By no means am I going to attack the alcohol policy. My goal is to try and cause some All articles. letters. announcements. advertisements. etc. must be submitted to ~ lelffll . by Monday 5:00 p.m. at the latest.

By no means am I again alcohol. I enjoy a drink u drinking sociably vi friends but we failed to cause destruction and damqe when we do drink. Maybe students feel and have the attitude that we pay to go here so we can party ud destroy things. They re a.re sadly mistaken . The reason tuition keeps goin1 up is due to asinine antics such as these . Maybe, this campus does need to go dry and only allow the legally mature to drink. Because the noble act of trying to get students to drink .responsibfy is getting to be a .no wia situation for those of us who do!! Sensible Sophomore Student ttl)t leacon VOL.

Lohman also noted that the financial aid situation would remain .relatively unchanged. · "There really would not be that much of an effect on financial aid . We would have the same programs that we have now as far as undergraduate programs go. It would not increase our eligibility in any way for the typical fi.nancial aid programs," Lohman said. Lohman stated her biggest fear about the change to a university. "Again. I go back to the growth .

"The r-ieg policy was the ction that was lifted. resident will be able to a quarter-keg party if he is of legal age, unless b.e was a resident of Sterling Hall last year," Douris said. Several restrictions have .not been lifted. Sterling residents are forbidden to have alcohol-related social functions involving the entire dorm. Also, the profits from the dorm's soda vendin g machine viU still be donated to a local organization working against alcohol abuse. These restrictions are expected to be lifted on .December 20 of this year.

"I would say that there were no objections to it. The members of the Cou.ncil felt it was sensible and right," Ralston. said. When asked what impact this decision. might have on the campus.

"Admissioiis is a tough job. The .reasons a.re in the n.ewspape.r. There just aren't as many college-age students to .recruit," said Meyers.

"Jhe message of Wiltes College has to be personal and that we ca.re," said Meyers. "The crass side of it is that we're going to fill up the classes regardless." said Meyers.

The New WCLH? 'Jn1s..-e Kuni clue revealed_ �PAGE TWO Editorial Gum l1as Professor speaks out cracking to go To Tho Edttor: Every t1.ow and then I get the imp.rcssiot1. that stude1tts are not terribly eager to attend class. IA fact. in many cases they seem to dread the experience. Apparently to bear the suffering. many students may be seen entering the classroom armed with candy. gum. no-doz. soda. coffee. and the list goes on. I'm not sure what the relationship is between these "fixes" and class. but the use of such devices contributes to class.room noise pollution. Classroom 1toise pollution. you ask.? Yes. classroom noise pollution. That ever-growing spectre that is haunti1tg America's classrooms. It assumes various disguises. For instance. beverages are commonly transported to class. Although the noise pollution facto.r is .relatively low in this case. various sounds will accompany said beverages: an aluminum can cli1tks against a desk.. ice rattles in a cup. the lid on a styrofoam coffee cup squeaks. Inevitably. said beverage spills and finds its way to boots. papers. des.t. floor. and beverage consumer. But this we can bear. There's another disguise we're all familiar with: the crunching noise of a cao.dy w.rappe.r. And the noise is further prolonged because the person wh o is trying to u1tw.rap the candy does it slowly. so as not to make more noise. Thus. there is twice as much noise fo.r twice as long. But even. this we can bea.r. But there·s one disguise we cannot bear. l/ hat is this fo.rm of classroom noise pollution? GUM CRACIINGI You .tnow. that sound that people make wb.e.n they have gum in thei.r mouths (And of cou.rse. the chewing sounds that accompany said gum cracking aren't terribly pleasant eithe.r). Granted, some people aren't bothered by gum cracking. But then some people aren't bothered by Motley C.rue at 1~0 decibels. But to each his ow1t . Lets try to hold down the classroom noise pollution and make life in the classroom a more academic experience. Granted. we're .not always excited about going to class. But is it 1tot conceivable the p.rofesso.r might have something valuable to say. or that some students might want to hear him? 1-------------------------1 1985 - 86 Publication Schedule fall Sea ester September October October October October November November November December spripa se ■eatec 26 3 10 24 31 7 14 21 s January January February February February March March March April April April 23 30 6 13 20 6 13 20 10 17 24 I extend congratulations to the Editor for the fine quality of wr iting exhibited in her editorial on page 2 of the September ~.198~ issue of The Beacon. -We shall loot. forward to ongoing examples of such eloquent use of English in future issues of the college newspaper. At the same time I do wish to take exception to a few 11oints made in that editorial regarding the history of the Missiot1. Task Force and its workings. the t1.ature of the faculty retreat, and its outcome. f'or it1.stat1.ce, the mate.rial included in the '.>0-page inte.rt1.&1 wo.rkit1.g document did indeed .represent a distillation of the findings collected for about a year on the mission of the college as perceived by students. faculty. administration . alumni and the Board of Trustees. Surveys of various sorts among these constituents we.re ta.ken seriously and a profou.nd effort made to .reflect the opinions and input from all sectors. Public hearings on the working document clearly aimed at combining "analysis and synthesis" so as not to misrepresent the College to itself or to others. As a membe.r of the original Mission Task Force I was .rathe.r amazed at the amount of self-flagellation we at the College we.re willing to bear as we examined and exposed weaknesses while we avoided boasting about our strengths. It is indeed a pity that there is .no easy or effective vay to co1tvey the seriousness with which the Task Fo.rce took a most detailed look at where we've been. and whe.re we are going as an institution of highe.r learning. At no time did the administration attempt to cove.r up, gloss over. or color the honesty with which those discussioAs proceeded. To suggest that the inten t of the administration at the retreat was to "railroad" the ot1.e page Mission Statement merely indicates the lack of unde.rst&tl.ding o.r insight that comes from seeing only part of the story.

Wiltes CoUege Homecomfog activities wiU begin on Thursday, October 3 with a bonfire at 10 p.m. at Ralston Field. Activities will continue Friday with the judging of displays. Displays may cost up to $50. and SG vm reimburse any club or dorm up to $~ if receipts are provided. AU clubs and dorms are urged to present displays. This is the ,oth uu1iversary of the first Homecoming celebration at Wilkes College. so the theme is" A Golden Homecoming." The Homecoming football game will be against the Susquehanna Crusaders. Susquehanna's colors are orange and white. Nominations for Homecom~g King and Queen will be on Tuesday. September 21 for all seniors. Voting wiU be open for alJ students on Tuesday, October 1.

Student Activites Di.rector Amy Wiedemer reported that there were .no security calls and .no damages to the Student Center at the party last Friday. However. the.re was some controversy as to the rules for entering and leaving the party after a certain time. At lJ:1~ p.m .. the doors · we.re dosed to any student who had .not yet paid to go to the party. At 12:1, a.m .. a.ny student who had left the party after paying was not permitted bac.k in. The.re were several .reasons fo.r this policy crackdown . First, this p.reve.nted many people from showi.ng up drunk after their ow.n parties a.nd causing trouble at the Student Ce.nte.r Party. Second, the Student Center Board decided o.n a limit of 2~0 people at the party at o.ne time. For insurance and safety purposes. it is not wise to exceed this limit. said SG President E.ric Chase. Mon campus activities may be o.n the agenda i.o. the future. Chase disclosed preliminary plans for a Student Prognmming Board. This group would plan activities for wee.tends vhe.n there were no major campus happe.ni.ngs. Chase a.nd Wiedemer would like the board to consist of 10-12 students with subcommittees for separate activities. A.ny interested student may contact E.ric Chase at extension 130 or Amy Wiedemer at exte.nsio.n 268 for details. Again this veet.. the importance of elections was stressed at the meeting. Elections for Commuter Council and Inter-Reside.nee HaU Council are Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. i.n Stark Lobby a.nd from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. outside the cafeteria.

As for the workload in college compared to that in high school. opi.nio.ns wiU differ depe.oding on where one went to high school. Most freshme.o are probably finding that while the workload may be heavier in college than in high school. it is .not u.nma.oageable. O.oe reason for a heavier workload is that each class is not held each day. As freshman Kristen Hen.ry said, the classes seem "harder because (professors) say mo.re in (less) time." The assignme.ots given in college differ from those · in high school i.o that whether or not you do them is essentially up to you . I.o high school there was usually a pe.oalty for not completing an assignment, but in college this is usually not the case. You.r p.rofesso.r does not stand over you demanding that the wo.rk be done a.od often does not even check you.r wo.rk. He simply expects it to be finished. Of course, as Hen.ry stated, "If you wa.ot to do well o.o the tests. you do the assig.ome.ots." . According to Augugliario. college classes are mo.re "informal" tha.n high school cla.,ses. However, it is difficult for ma.oy f .reshme.o to participate in class discussions because. as Longo said, "You don't know ,!.IIIIIIIIHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!J I 1i;iiii;:~-• i - , 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111i what the othe.r people i.n your class know." You don't wa.nt to ask a questio.n that other students al.ready know the a.oswe.r to. so ma.oy f .reshme.n are probably a bit afraid to participate. Longo feels that that wiU cha.nae as students become mo.re comfortable at college. On the other ha.nd, people in Augugliario's honors E.oglish class are al.ready mo.re wiUing to participate because they study topics that they are interested in. 'flit.bout a doubt, the major difference between hish school and collese is the amount of .responsibility that each i.ndividual has for himself. In addition to keeping up with school,ro.rk. you are suddenly responsible for everything from doing your own laundry to getting up o.o time. It is up to you to budget your time correctly so that you can get to each class o.o time. do the assignments. do that laundry. have some .run and still get enough sleep. Despite the misco.oceptio.os. college is not so terribly "back-breaking." It is a big change from high school. but it is.

WCLH is now New Music 91. aad it's back--full steam abead--with a new executive staff. Greg Krager is the ·station ma.n._er of llCLH, and he has four assistaat ma.n._ers. each with an area of specialization. to help him out. Vinnie De!Saatto is the music director, john Naeher is program director. Ma.rt Vetovitz is · production coordinator. aod Chris Botcarovic is the public relations coordinator. The station has undergone m&;or changes over the summer. First of all. the slogao bas been chaaaed to "New Music 91." repJacing "90.7 FM." To go along with this new s1ogao, the music format bas been chaaged. Now when you tune in to 91 FM. you'U be tuning in to the eicitina world of new music. Nev Music 91 plays the newest bits before tbey become poputa.r on commercial stations. Therefore. you von't be listening to tbe monotony of current top 40 hit after curre.o.t top 40 bit wbe.o. you turn your dial to 91 FM. That's tbe ~ic of tbe new WCLH. By tuning in llCLH you can be listening to .o.ev fresh music instead of stale top 40 hits. 1/CLH has had its fair share of fame tbis past yeu in regard to nev music breaking through to commercial stations. New Music 91 was tbe very first station to air the music of Synch--a baad whose members include several 1/ ilk.es graduates. l/CLH has entered Synch in a nationwide contest desianed to find the best new baad i.n the Uni&ed States and would lite to wish tbe group tuck in tbis endeavor. YCLH's New Music format chaages only once a week. on Sundays, when you ca.a tune in to specialized shows such as jazz. classical music, polkas aad country aad western music. The newest edition to the list of Sunday shows will be a reggae show, beginning this fall. New Music 91 is on tbe air every day, seven days a veet, from 7:00 a.m. until midnight. So you can wake up ,vitb WCLB in the mornina--• fresh way to Sia.rt your day--aad you ca.a study to the tune of New Music in the evening. You can also keep up with what's going on in the world by listening to the news on YCLH. YCLB brings you the very latest in sports a.ad news four times each day. And if you are already waiting to find out when Y iltes-Ba.rre 's first snowstorm will inundate the city a.ad cause classes to be caacetled, llCLH ca.a keep you up to date vith the weather during each Nev Music 911/ealher Forecast. One of the station's major goals is to keep you informed. while at the same time giving your ea.rs a breat from those same top 40 hits. WCLH knows that you'd like to keep up with the latest happenings in the world of New Music. Therefore, you'H be able to keep tract of their Top 10 reports right here in each issue of lli Beacon. In the future, WCLH wm be bringing you special feature stories about new and old artists and the !&lest albums.

Mad (Editer·• aote: This was submitted to The Beacon from the office of President Christopher Breiseth.) -- This year the Wilkes College United Way campaign will add a new feature. An incentive will be provided to encourage additional giving and hasten return of pledge cards by October 18, 1985. We urge you to return your contribution even before this date so the total Wilkes effort can be presented to the United Way by the end of their · campaign. A generous College trustee has agreed to contribute a financial gift 10 times the amount donated or pledged by a Wilkes employee. The individual · whose card is selected by a drawing may designate the gift for one agency or direct it to the general United Way campaign. Since this is a wonderful way to increase your donation (an $80 gift, for e1ample, becomes $800 ), it behooves all of - us to reconsider our donations of last year. Give the increase that you can afford and pledge an amount you think is worthy of being increased if you should be the lucky person whose card is drawn. The drawing will be in the Farley Lounge, SLC, at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, October 25, 1985. To be included, your pledge card or gift must be received by Dr. Ogren before 2:00 p.m. on October 25. Each person has one chance to be recognized, so make your best donation on time and hope for good luck. The reception should provide a- good time to get together for socialization, refreshments, and, of course, to announce the f_unds raised by Wilkes College for the United Way of Wyoming Valley. For those who have given less than $25, we encourage an increase to one dollar per pay period by payroll deduction, or $26. For those who have given between $26 and $50, we urge an increase to St per week, or $52. For those who have given between $50 and $500, please maintain your level and consider increasing the amount by a percentage consistent with your financial situation. If you have forgotten the size of your gift last year, you can check with Bob Ogren at e1tension 346. We hope for 1001 participation from everyone in the Wilkes community so that we can reach or even e1ceed our goal of $13,500. • Give to the United W ay Buy a ticket to ride the bus for only $1 The Will got • this Dela, ah 0 The bus leaves from Wilkes at S:00p.m. Wednesday, Sept., 2S th from in front of the Student Center I • The bus leaves from the Fair at 10:30 p.m. defe aUy ; e I are y, ! aw, d 1· I>.

The Colon.els were led by junior quarterback Brad Scarborough, who passed for 201 yards. Sophomore Tony DiGrazia led all Colon.el receivers with six receptions for 91 yards and two touchdown receptions. The Wilkes defense put the first points on the board. With the Flying Dutchmen. in punt formation, the ball sailed over the punter's head with sophomore defensive end Bernie Iusatavitch falling on the punter for the safety. The Colon.els' n.en score came o.n a 36-yard touchdown pass f .rom Scarborough to DiGrazia. Dan Kolar's .kick was good. giving the Colo.nets a ~0 lead. Wilkes made the score 16-0 with Scarborough going over from the o.ne. The big play of the seven-play 60-yard drive was a 28-yard pass from Scarborough to sophomore split end Ron Ulitch.oey. Iolar's second placement made it 16-0. In the second quarter the Colonels upped the score to 23-0 when freshman Courtney McFa.rlain scored f.rom the left. side fo.r an eight-ya.rd touchdown run.

Madison on Saturday and D.rew University on Sunday, and both games ended in Wilkes' losses. The goals scored again.st Wilkes were .not those of skill. but of miscommu.nicatio.n among team members on the field. Coach Sharp has the team playing with a new approach which should sooa be effective. The mid-field play between the wo teams on Saturday was basically eve.n competiton. although the ball never made it in the .net fo.r the Colo.nets. On Sunday, the team was off to Drew University. Spirits. we.re high, the team was ready 'to play. but Drew was just a little sharper than Wilkes. Donna Vasquez was the one Colonel who scored against Drew i.n the Jy. game. The team battled out a tough 2-J Joss. but Wilkes did get on the scoreboard. The team is off to a slow start, .but the losses are behind them. That may be what the stickers need to get them going for this week's competition. · The Colonels will travel to East St.roudsbu.rg University today and Millersville University on Saturday. The . fight against fat by BiUBuzza Once the -weather starts turning colder. many students lose the urge to go outside and be active.

The stateme.nt. which says, "Potential benefits to the curriculum may derive from the puHing together , of related departments into schools. and such a structure should be carefully considered." is the focal point of the issue . When questioned about this possibility. President Christopher ' · Breiseth responded. "There is no plan at the present time for Wilkes 1 becoming a university." However. Breiseth did admit that he is looting into the matter . "I have asked to get some information from the State on just what processes we would have to go through." Breiseth also said that the matter is being discussed informa11y in administrative circles. Breiseth noted the benefits of Wilk.es· becoming a university. "It would almost instantly convey the graduate mission of the institution . It might also convey the breadth of our curriculum. both in the liberal arts and the professional programs. both graduate and undergraduate." Breiseth said. The president said. "Just the title ·universlty' would suggest the size. complexity, richness of the curriculum. and the type of students that we·re serving, both undergraduate and graduate level. more than the word ·coUege,' which does suggest an undergraduate mission for the full -time student." The term "university," applied to Wilk.es. brings to mind the question of size. Universities are normally considered to be 1arge institutions; Wilk.es is generally considered a small campus. Breiseth disagrees with this perception . "I think Wilkes is a more complex. richer institution in its curriculum than a lot of people. even people fairly close to the institution. appreciate . We have close to 3.000 students who are enro11ed in at least one course working toward a degree. That's a large operation," Breiseth said. The president has not taken a stand on the issue. "I'm not sure where I stand. The identity for this community and the alumni. as well for the students who are enro11ed here now. is with Wilkes College. I don't think you can give that up lightly," Breiseth said. "After you write this. it would be interesting to see if it generates interest," Breiseth said. �PAta TW Editorial Frie ndly advice ... Consider this as ~•isdom for freshmen and an admonition tor upperclassmen. w·e as students must remember that it's easy to critidze Wilkes College. just as its easy to criticize any institution. "There's too much bureaucracy." "The Finance Office is hostile." "Caf food is inedible ." "My prof is a jerk." "There's nothing to do ." And the list goes on . But if one stops to think. about Wilk.es. it's not such a bad place. In fact. Wilkes can be a ter.r ific place. But the key to a successful tenure at Wilk.es is attitude . To use a somewhat hackneyed expression . you get out of Wilt.es what you put into Wilk.es. Having thought about Wilk.es and lived and studied here for three years. I have found several characteristics particularly noteworthy . First of all Wilk.es has a good faculty . for the most part. our teachers are willing and eager to match any student's enthusiasm for learning. In my days here. professors have played an integral role in my growth as a person . One indication of the faculty's willingness to serve students is their practice of holding regular office hours. Office hours make professors who might not otherwise be . available vecy accessible to students. Second. in a job mart.et which is increasingly looking for liberally educated students. the core curriculum here at Wilkes. if taken seriously. makes a liberal education accessible to students of evecy major. The "market value" of an engineer. for example. who can write and speak intelligently greatly increases. In addition to the core curriculum. the availability of internships and practical experience make it possible for a student to gain valuable experience. Third. students at Wilk.es have virtually unlimited potential to make changes and improvements. They simply need motivation. conviction. a.f\d a sensible plan of action to effect change. For instance. several years ago. students changed the grading system. They also lobbied for a fall Break and won . Essentially, students can change anything that they're willing to work for. However. it's .not that simple on ce one graduates. alas. Th is is not a "How to mature at Wilkes" sermon. if you're suspicious. lt is simply friendly advice f .rom one who has tried to take full advantage of the things Wilk.es has to offer. Let me stress that nothing is changed or improved by lamenting the supposed lack of activities on campus. You get out of Wilk.es what you put into Wilk.es.

Gerdts on September 19 at 8 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. The lecture will be held in conjunction with tbe exhibit of American impressionist painters at the So.rdoni Art Gallery. The exhibit opened September 7. William Gerdts' most recent wort. American Impression.ism. follows the development of the American impressionist movement as it developed into two distinctive schools. The Ash Can school focused on the harsh realities of the growing American metropolis. whHe the Boston school produced more subtle. genteel works portraying upper or middle class America. The exhibit. entitled "Directions in American Painting. 187' to 192,." will present works which adhere to either school. The exhibit demonstrates that while the origins of impressionism can be attributed to Eu.rope. the culmination of the form must be credited to America. Although many of the worts show the influence of the Europeans. including Degas. Monet and Renior. it is possible to trace the many innovative directions taken by Americans such as Paxton. C&ssatt.

Communications nt serves as a.a la for such fields as broadcasting. · mand theatre . The communications at Wilk:es will be &rly defined within ng year. Internships and field e1:perience a.re still necessary i.a.gredients. Tucker feels students need to get more involved with communications-related activities such as the Beacon. the Speech and Debate Union. WCLH and broadcasting. Unlike fields such as accounting. communications has no "Big 8" firms that come searching for the best communications students. Therefore. said Tucker. "You need to be pushy ." Tucker notes that even though Communications is now separate from La.nguage and Literature as a department. Communications will not become simply "knob-twisting and buttonpushi.a.g ." The student will still have to write. create and I.hin t. Wilkes College will not become "Wilkes Technical Institute," according to Tucker. At Wlites. the student has an opportunity to learn much more in communications due to the .relativelv small number of students in the program, as compared to the number of students a.t other colleges. Many colleges. accordi.a.g to Tucker. tell fr-eshmen that they had "better assume it to be a five-year program," due to the line-up fo.r upper-level courses and internships. This problem does not exist at Wilkes. which offers facilities that can be utilized by students of all tevels. Tucker. whose office is located i.a. Capin Hall.

Wilkes College is an independent. non-denominational college that forges the lint between a quality libe.tal arts ud sciences education. professional pre pa.ration. a..nd service. Students. faculty. curriculum. a..nd etti-acurricular activities work together to forge this union a..nd its happy results: graduates ready a..nd wi11iAg to meet the challenges of our ever-changing world and fully prepared for graduate or professional school. Combining liberal learning. professional preparation. and service is basic to success. but it is no small task. Wilkes accomplishes it by starting with motivated students and a highly qualified a.o.d dedicated faculty . Wilkes has a long history of accepting students of diverse ba.ctgrou.nds who are then challenged by the faculty to excel and succeed. The low . student-:faculty ratio at Wilkes and the faculty 's emphasis on teaching assur e each student the opportunity to wort closely with the faculty . Teachers go out of their way to foster every studen t's academic and personal growth . Students and faculty o.eed a strong curr iculum so graduates a.re pre pa.red for full service in the modern world. Wilkes has that strong curriculum. Students cao. major in the humuit.ies, the natural. physical. and social sciences. or in quality programs in such varied fields as accouo.ting. business. communications. computer science. engineering. music. the health sciences. and nursing . But whatever the major. each student is required to take courses in the traditional disciplines. Wilkes recently bas reaffirmed its long-standing commitmeo.t to this core curriculum. Core courses are designed to ensure that ea.ch student writes and speaks effectively. works successfully with mathematical concepts. a..nd acquires computer literacy. Additionally, while the core Coste.rs critical and creative thought. the faculty strives to see that au students grasp the conn~ctio~s that unite all knowledge--and ma.o.kind. Of course. students still can tailor their programs with electives to match their particular needs and interests. Theoretical class.room knowledge is important. but practical application of this knowledge is crucial for students to further develop their abilites and serve their fellow man with inte11igence and imagination . Such a balance of the theoretical a.o.d practical is a hallmark of a Wilkes education. Teachers encourage students to use what they learn by serving internships ud by participating in cooperative education with local firms. The wide range of extracurricular activities (including musical performances. athletics. radio and television broadcasting. student government. debate. drama. social service organizations. the College o.ewspaper. and various clubs) at Wilkes also invite students to discover that knowledge is .not to be hoarded but shared and applied to benefit all. Wilkes emphasizes the application of knowledge by an.other vital part of its mission: the College's own service to Northeastern Pen.o.sylvao.ia. Wilkes en.cour ages the fio.e arts and the performing arts with its art gallery. its modern. well-equipped theatre . and its many regularly scheduled cultural events. The College libr ary is a comprehensive resource cen ter for the r egion , while the entire College is a regional center for en2ineerin2 . science . and tecbnolo2v . Wilkes's Small Business Development Center and Institute for Regional Affairs serve the community's businesses. Of course. students are given every opportunity to help Wilk.es serve its community . Although primarily an undergraduate school. Wilkes provides another important service by offering graduate degr~es. Teachers io. the area cao. earn master's degrees io. education. and in the humanities. social sciences. and sciences. Other professioo.als are served by master's programs io. busio.ess administration. electrical engineering. engineering and applied sciences. and health administration . Wilkes also has a growing continuing education program for learners of all ages. Liberal learning, professional preparation. and service . With these goals motivating its actioo.s, Wilkes College approaches the twenty-first century dedicated to forging "uo.ity amidst diversit "the Colle e motto .

With new attiWdes. new players and a new coach. the team has high hopes for its upcoming seaso.n . Coach Eileen Sharp comes to Wilkes-Barre from Nort~field. Minnesota. after coaching and teaching at Carleton CoUege for six years. At Carleton. an academically competitive school of 1.no swdents. Sharp was the women's field hoc.key and basketball coach She also taught physical education and was the athletic trai.ner there. When ask ed. "Why Wilk.es?" Sharp smiled and said, "I liked what I heard about the administration and their support of athletics and their desire to make the school better to.own both academically and athletically ." Sharp is a strong believer in athletics and finds it an important factor in an instiWtion such as Wilk.es . At Wilk.es she finds an emphasis on academics as well as on athletics . Another reason for her move east was that she only had one year left at Carleton and was eager to move to an area where field hockey is b Runners eWare by Bill Buzza With the beautiful weather that we have been experiencing and with the current fitness craze. more and mo.re people at Wilk.es have been putting •.Jo~, ,their books and laci11 ~ 1 : · their jogging shoes un t SUNY tournament a.tlmcnt common to nvi ..-:1 1oggers is shin splint \ Atth,,ugh not very serious it taken care of, this injury is extremely painful.

Maybe it's tim.e to take a look at one of the groups that help m.ate student life at Wiltes what it is. Student Gover.nm.e.nt (SG) plays a major role in campus life. Before .reporting the facts about the fir.st meeting of SG for this academic year. a definition of this o.rga.nizatio.n is .necessary. SG is a campus orga.nizatio.n .ru.n by students for the benefit of the entire student body. It acts as an agency for im.plementi.ng a.nd adjusting policy and activity to improve student life. SG consists of si1 elected representatives from. each class. one president from each class. Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council presidents a.nd SG president. SG prepares a student activities budget which m.ust be approved by President Christopher Breiseth and adhered to by the SG officers. The SG office is located o.n the third floor of the student center and is open Monday through Friday. 10 a.m. . to 4 p.m. SG m.eeti.ngs a.re held Mondays at 6:30 p.m.. The first order o business for SG this year was the preparation of a .ne budget. At the summe meeting. SG President Eric Chase stressed the im.po.rt&Jlce of watching spending because last ye SG we.nt over its budget. Thi year may also bring change i.n the SG con.stitution sine the present one was ratifie back i.n 1977; progress means change. -sG is looking to ratify changes in election procedures. Raising the student activity fee from $'.)0 to $6'.) was also discussed at the summer meeting . Reasons for .raising the am.ou.nt a.re to ensure that SG will not exceed its budget agai.n this year. The fee has been $'.)0 for almost eight yea.rs. and SG is not immune to inflation. Eve.n if the fee goes up to $6'.). it will still be o.ne of the lowest i.n the area. Penn State students pay a.round $12'.t and King's College students pay around $7'.5. Amy Wideme.r is now the director of the student center and student activities director . She seems to be excited about her new position. a.nd m.a.ny a.re hoping to see new activities developed under her command. coat. oa pq• J. �PAGE nro by The Wiltes faculty participated in its first retreat at Keystone Junior College this past weekend. The most important order of business was the discussion and subsequent .ratification of the one-page Mission Statement. This statement. in addition to its 50-page parent document. will define Wiltes College to itself and the public. The effort to define Wiltes' mission got off to a good st&rt. Last f &11. the Mission Task Force toot great pains to involve the entire campus community in the creation of the document. However. we wonder if the process b.rote down some last weekend. D.ra.ft • 6 of the one-page statement was put ,before the f acuity last weekend for the first and last time with the provision that the Board of Trustees ezpects the .ratified statement in two weets. The faculty was b.rote.n down into small discussion g.roups and given approximately -Cl minutes to suggest amendments which would then be presented to the faculty as a body and voted upon. The president reported over 100 stylistic problems. In fact. one group refused to discuss the document until it was tot&lly rewritten. However. the statement had to be approved Apparently to avoid slowing the ratification p.rocess. President Breiseth formed a five-pe.rson committee to rewrite the document based upon the faculty · suggestions. Was this the best way to ensure that the fin&l document would be what the faculty wanted. however? Two of the five committee members had previously served on the Mission Tast Force that had origin&lly written the document. This .raised the question whether the faculty's full intent would be incorporated into the fin&l statement. These questions might have been justified. For example. the fin&l sentence in Draft #6 includes the college motto "unity amidst diversity ." One f acuity member pointed out that if this phrase were included, some background information would have to be provided. Another faculty member felt that it should be omitted because the meaning has been lost. Nevertheless. no agreement was reached. and the p.roblem was referred to the committee. The result? The phrase "unity amidst diversity" is included in the fin&l d.ra.ft. but without explanation . .Another event mates us question whether the one-page statement was .railroaded through the faculty . A faculty member questioned the relationship between the 50-page document and the one-page statement. Was the faculty accepting the details of the '.)0-page document when voting upon the one-page statement? President Breiseth did not answer the question directly. He c&lled the 50-page document a "working document." But should not the disagreements surrounding the internal, working document be resolved before the one-page public statement is .ratified? Given the consequence of the Missi(>n Statement and the disagreement surrounding its ratification. the administration seemed disproportionately concerned with p.rocess as opposed to results. particularly since the f acuity will be primarily responsible for implementing the mission . Perhaps the administration could have ta.ten its cue from Friday night's· speaker at the retreat. Dr. Frances Ferguson of Bucknell University. She stressed the need for synthesis and integration . At the beginning of the mission process, good efforts were made to bring together &11 parts of the cam.pus community. That effort should have been carried through to the end. Wilkes College, as an institution of higher learning which . as Ute mission statement says. "seeks to increase student's capacity to serve others with intelligence. imagination. and integrity" must also be committed to serving itself with analysis and synthesis as opposed to process.

"The first order of business," said Wiedemer. "is to sit in on a Student Government meeting to see ·how they run ." From there. she would like to get the Student Center Board organized. As for Student Center parties. Wiedemer had no comment on when or if there will be any. Some of her long-range plans include providing more programming for the union. bringing residen._t and commuter students together and using the Union Building W~~ ~ commented. "It's my understa.4ding that a lot of the trips. such a.s the ski trips. went really well in the pa.st. and if the students are still interested, I'd like to see the major organiz&tions continue to share in the responsibilities for these trips." One major question Wiedemer proposed was whether programming of events would be separate or whether organizations would program together . The student body welcomes you.

We freshmen t time from our summers spend three fun-filled s of scavenger hunts and rt bard" lecwres while iag ia the lu1.ury mmodations of Evans . Just o.ae short month fore we vere the high, the ·1hty, the graduating iors. Nov, suddenn,, we re shot down. We were freshmen. On the more serious ide. though, orientation was aaood cha.ace to meet other me.a and to get some ■a of where everything is. a result, perhaps we did look quite as much like men searching rately for the right om on the first day of . A.ad after we found cwsrooms, it was nice to a familiar, if not · odly, face from · otatio.a. Then came August 1-•the day resident lteshmen were to move in . le arrived and moved our loads of possessions into r bare rooms. hoping that ft would like our roommates, our dorms, the people nen door and "college life" itself. Too soon came the time most students ~n.d parents alike dreaded: the time to say good-bye. Perhaps some of · us were thinking, "Free at la.st!" but for most of us. the proverbial butterflies in our stomachs became more and more violent while a feeling of impending doom began to overtake us. Later that night O1,1r R.A.s took those of us who were willing to "Playfun" at the gym. Walking into a gym full of cheering. clapping upperclassmen was probably not the most intelliaent thing any of us had ever done, but with the help of the "Wilkes-tateers" we soon got into the spirit of things, got to meet some new people and also released a bit of the tension acquired that day . After a night on a mattress that probably wasn't as comfortable as the one at home, we spent Tuesday on various activities pluned for us, such as a slide show, a. meeting with upperclassmen in our majors, a. picnic and a perform.a.Ace by Marty Bear. Slowly our dorm rooms were becoming homier and more comfortable. and we met the upperclassmen who were moving in. Then came August 28--the first day of classes. Here was the day we had waited for. the day we had withstood the bookstore lines and registrar's office chaos for. Again the butterflies arose as we made our way from class to class. schedules in hand. hoping that we didn't look too silly as we walked into the wrong classrooms and that we would get to the right rooms at the right time . As the day wore on. our fears were eased by the discovery that our professors are nice people who aren't out to give us more work thu we cu handle and that our schedules are not quite as difficult as we thought they were. Ea.ch day we became more comfortable. Dr. Breiseth welcomed us to Wilkes on Thursday. and on Friday there was a beach party at the gym. As we meet more people and acclimate ourselves to Wilkes, the closeness of this college becomes apparent. Professors seem ready to is wetco f&it t.o "We arrived ud moved our carloads of possessions..." answer uy questions, 84d dormmates are always ready to helo if needed. The college experience is one that we have all prepared for, looked forward to or perhaps even dreaded for a 1O0.g time. And 0.ow that it has finally arrived, we, the class of 1989. will probably survive it and perhaps-eve0. enjoy it.

It's a small school. cl9se to home . I had looked at the chemistry deputment. and I was impressed with it," Garber said. Lynch also said he was "impressed" with Wilk.es. "I wanted to go to college in the city, and I was impressed with Wilkes the most."

In siltuon to stoo,,ing Shibori in Hiroyuki's studio, Fu11er was able to learn a ~ t deal about Japanese culture ,through his daily experiences. While Fu11er lived with Hiroyuki, his wife Chikako and his two children, Natsu (eight years old), and Mak1to ( 10 years old), he became very interested in the children and their schooling bec8use of his background in art education. One c&1' he fdually went to observe the C18SSI OOlll5 which he found "fascinating.· fu11er se1d, "In the Japanese culture, education is considered primary and the Japanese put a great deal of emphasis on education.

After Fuller visited the elementary school, he was invited by a junior high school tem::her to talk to the stuclents currently learning English. The purpose of the talk was so the students could hear the language being spoken. According to Fuller, "It was difficult for these chil<ren to learn the language, because although they learn the grammar, they rarely get a chance to use the language." These experiences, said Fuller, were n1at, "but they · were an tn mtttion to my primary reason of being there, wh1ch was to st~ Sh1bor1."

In Japan, artists and craftsmen are p18:ed on a very high plateau by society. They are considered very important because of the contribution they make_to the culture. "Here," said Fuller, "the emphasis is lessened. The 8rt1St, perhaps, 1s not looked upon as having the esteem or position as they are in Japan." H1royuk1 mes have the reco,;Jlition.

The Weekender Program provides the upper-division courses that allow graduates from two-year institutions to complete their b helor·s degrees by taking classes only on weekends. The Weekend College meets every third weekend on the campus of Keystone Junior College in La Plume. There are three different sessions arranged over the course of a calendar year, and a student can carry as many as nine credits during a session. Majors are offered in occounting, business ooministration , economics , psychology and sociology. Majors in the humanities and other social sciences are also available as student interests dictate. Last summer, I joined the ranks of Wilkes Weekender College students. I hoo discovered that I still needed to fit two earth and environmental science classes into my schedule.

Below is a copy of the speech oolivered by Dean Hart~n. ·1 am grateful for the opportunity to bring greetings to President Breiseth from the faculty and administration. Individually and collectively, we have benefited most from your presence at the college . And we have responded enthusiastically to your leadership style which has infused all. of us with energy and optimism. It was Will Rogers who said. 'Even if you (sic) are on the right track, we will gel run over if we just sit there: In many ways this could serve as a commentary on Wilkes during the 1960s. We were on the right track. and if not exactly sitting. we were at best plodding along. looking over our shoulders. and listening to a whistle which was getting louder and louder . What we needed was a Chris Breiseth to breathe life into dry bones. to administer adrenalin. lo gel the juices nowing again . We are still on the right track. but now we can see our destination. and we have built a head of steam that will gel us there on schedule. President Breiseth brought to us an ability to discern what· is vital in the Wilkes tradition and what is :ncruslalion that must be chipped away to allow oxygen lo reach the brain and to restore health and vigor to a body which was languishing . Lines of communication were opened immediately throughout the campus . And the messages which began to now were supportive, positive, enthusiastic. and optimistic. In a few short months, it wis easy to detect a new spirit and a heightened morale . Faculty and administrators responded eagerly to the participatory style of the new president. It was the perfect climate in which to launch a major effort involving all the constituencies of Wilkes. lo redefine the mission of the college-and to produce a plan which would allow faculty to relate to mission through periodic peer evaluation in a supportive and developmental context. Wilkes has become an exciting place to be in 1965. And I predict that the excitement will continue . , I do not believe that the honeymoon is over . I believe we have found a dynamic president who offers precisely what is needed to lead Wilkes College into the 21st century . . True. he has some weaknesses. He is often at a loss for words. and his compulsion lo always be precisely on time for meetings is disturbing. But these small problems we can overlook in return for the gin we have received . Chris, the faculty and administration welcome you to Wilkes College. congratulate you on this special occasion. and extend our very best wishes for a long and productive tenure as president.· -... ' . ' Although the Dean's remarks were supposedly representative of the views of the faculty and administration, they also reflected on Wilkes College as a whole. Frankly, we were embarrassed. President Breiseth's Inauguration ceremony was meant to be a celebration. Whtie we certainly share Dean Hartdagen's view that President Breiseth's style has "infused aH of us with energy and optimism ," we were offen<Ed by his later reference to the condition of Wilkes College unca- the Capin ministration. Many of us have spent at least half of our Wilkes careers unoor Presloont Gap in. We~ his administration not as one which was uat best plockting along," but rather as one which provided much-needed stability for this college during a time of economic upheaval. While we also share Dean Hartdagen's apparent enthusiasm for the new administration, we feel that his comments about the "languishing" bOOt of a past Wilkes College were inappropriate at a time of celebration. "Enthusiasm ," "optimism," "new spirit" and "heightened morale" are most oofinitely a product of Presioont Breiseth's administration. But they are also the inevitable prooucts of change. We agree that "Wilkes has become an exciting place to be in 1985... We agree that the "excitement will continue." But we won't forget, as our Special Inauguration Issue illustrated, that this promising forecast is the direct result of the work and dedication of Wilkes' three-previous presidents. As ooes the Dean, we extend our very best wishes to Dr. Breiseth for a long and productive tenure as president. ,Janee Eyerman Robert Fernande2 Joseph E.

After a long search with almost no help from Career Services, I found a job. finding a job mfl,f have been easier if I had a place to~ for information, but the only information I received from Career Services was a book with the names of companies throughout the country. Ateacher told me that I wouldn't find much ,information at Career Services. The t~er said my best bet would be to ~ to a phone book for names and intresses. This information was of no help to me, and it won't be to anyone else looking for a job. I also wouldn't have had this much -trouble if I were at Kings, Bucknell , Scranton, and a number of other schools. These schools have the same recruiting are.a that Wilkes has ( including Phillllllphia, New York, and Washington). But these schools have abou't 25 companies, 12 which _are national, coming to review Business, Economics, and Marketing students. The electrical , material, and · cnemical engineers have many interview opportunities in each of their many subdivisions. Accounting majors at each I am of these schools interview with at least 6 of the Big 8, 5 other national firms, and about 1O regional and national firms. Education and English majors also have career opportunttles at these schools. They have several interviews In their fields. If their career servtces office writes to a company who. isn't able to come for an interview but is still interested in looking at these students, they inform the students and try to set up office interviews. Many of these schools also help juniors find summer jobs that may 188:1 to full time positions. for many seniors, Career Services is nothing more than a place to hold references, and sometimes to help prepare resumes. I visited the office 10 times last semester and never had anyone offer to help. When I asked for more 1nformat1on than the book I was given, I was rudely told to look throucjl a pile of papers. I'm looking for a job , and It Is career Services' job to try to help me. It should at least try to help, not put oown stU<Ents· resumes like It has oone to several of my friends. The teachers try to help students, and they even try to recruit companies. And they politely offer ways to help with resumes. They oon't have the time to oo career Services' job, too. Name withheld. Student Dislikes Calendar To the Editor: not just a string of pretty faces. Why not find the best, the brightest and even a pretty face, but let's not have 24 pretty races? I recently viewed an episode of the Phil Donahue Show in which his guests were physically marred or handicapped after birth. I wish all 16 of you who signed the letter cou Id have seen the show. You would h8ve realizeit that flaunting your looks is cruel and rude. Just because 8od created you the WrJo/ you are, you .have no right to represent this college as "The Men and Women of Wilkes." I feel very sorry for you self-gratifying people. I think you ( 16) are out to increase your e1JJS and pat yourselves on the back. If some of you were ever physically marred sometime is your life, I feel some of your lives would be over. You live for your looks and that is pitiful. I have no respect for those of you who live for your looks. Am I to understand that because I am not as attractive as you ( i 6). that I mn not a "Man or Woman of Wilkesr I suggest you rethink your statements and take a look at yourselves. You appear to be shallow people. 8e6Uty is skin deep, so I guess you are shallow people. I am intressing this letter to the 16 students who signed the letter to the editor concerning the Men and Women of Wilkes calendars. I would like to ~ress a few points in your letter. You asked why Wilkes should be any less open to change than Rutgers, Lafayette and Penn State. Chm,ge is inevitable, but on a campus the size of Wilkes (several 10,000's smaller in population), change must be in moderation to the· size of the college. Change can fail on a large campus with hardly any effects. This is not so for Wilkes. Wilkes is not Rutgers, Lafayette and Penn State. Stop trying to make it something that it's not. If you want a college like Rut~rs, Lafayette or Penn State, transfer there! Another point I would like to comment on is the fact that you claim that the people on the calendars are a true cross section of the campus population. If these people are a true cross section, why are they all supposedly good looking? Why should Wilkes' cross section be only good looking people? Is the football player the best player, or is the dean's list stuoont the smartest student on campus? I doubt it.

The committee voted that the question of enoorsement applies only to an S6 president enoorsing another candidate for S6 president. Cress Shallers, the other candidate for IRHC pres1dent and captain of the tennis team , was unable to attend the forum due to a previously scheduled tennis match in Williamsport. Shelly Urban, current S6 p~esldent, reoo Shallers' prepared statement at the forum. Yesterday afternoon, Kramer, in an attempt to re-contest the S0 election, protested to both Dean Hoover and President Breiseth that a:cording to Article Vil ,.section I, Item F of the S0 constitution, Eric Chase was never eligible to be nominated for the off1ce of president. Item F reoos: "The nominee must be at least a sophomore representative and have served at least one term." Chase is currently a freshman, but has served the required one term. According to Kramer, although Chase was elected to be a sophomore rep at a meet ing held on Thursday , March 28, he hoo alreoo; been nominated for S0 president on March 25. Kramer said that she was mtXil aware of this rule yesterday. This rule is listed in the Handbook. According to Lisa Berkoski, co-chairman of the Elections Committee , it is too late to contest on this point. The Campaign and Election Rules state, "If any candidate wishes to contest an election , he or she must oo so before noon of the day following the election." Berkoski said that if this point hoo been included in the letter, it would have been considered by the committee. "Too much of the S0 constitution is open to personal interpretation," said Kramer. "My goal is to make students more aware of the ambiguity in the constitution." Bob Gunderson ~reed that there is a problem. "The contestment did open our eyes to a lot of things that deserve attention ," he said. Eric Chase was sworn in as the new S0 president at last night's regular S0 meeting. Student Government also elected the following officers for the 1985-86 year: Vice-president - caryt Goldsmith Corresponding Secreatry Michaelene Coffee Treasurer - Stacey Toslosky Reelections for IRHC president and officers will take place this Thursday from 11 a.m. to I p.m. in Stark Lobby and from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. in Pickering Hall.

Believe It or Not! Mild Mannered Music Student Doubles as Beauty Queen by &tiJ SteidJer l here's something special about Mary Beth Zuvich. She has an air of sophistication and confidence about her that is quick Jy detectable. Th is combination , along with her musical talent, has helped her to capture the title of Miss Northeastern Pennslylvonia. Mary Beth is currently a senior music major at Wilkes College. Her cl~ schedule, along with her daily quest for perfection, is demanding, yet it is something Mary Beth has chosen to oo, even if it did mean "going against the oovice of others." Before entering college, Mary Beth was presented with a difficult decision. If she were to major in music, it would most 1ikely require a,jjitional training after college, which of course means more money. (Although she is on a scholarship at Wilkes for clarinet and voice, there is no promise of future scholarships.) "The alternative route," said Mary Beth, "would have been to major in business or accounting." This would have allowed her to find work directly out of college and in turn would WF EO E R KE . C -E NA D sT present less of a financial burden. But Mary Beth chose the first route because it is something she truly wants to pursue. This choice put significant financial pressure on her, yet she was, and stm is, determined to work her way through the temporary roooblock. Mary Beth immediately sought ways in which she could lessen the finocial burden. She looked into numerous scholarships and was introi.Jced to the idea of competing for Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania. A friend who was also attending Wilkes and planning to compete for the title mentioned to Mary Beth she thought she would have a chance. At first, Mary Beth was skeptical about the idea. She · said it had a lot to oo with the im~ she hoo of beauty p~ts. All too often beauty pageants are looked upon negatively due to the nature of the contest. However. Mary Beth discovered that the Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania pageant emphasized talent and that the final oocision rested heavily on the j~'s interviews with the contestants. This is entirely different from e competition such as Miss U.S.A., which, lDXlrding to M8r)' Beth, along with whet M8r)' Beth felt bases its <ECision on the were successful interviews with swimsuit competition.

Confusing Room Selection Made Less Confusing by Kathy Hyde All college stuoonts are frequent ly . pl~ed by mind-b<qJling questions concerning their futures. Will I graduate on time? Will I get a j ob? Will I oofault on my student loan? Among these is the annually recurring question foced _by those students who choose.Jo Iive on campus: "Where the hell am f going to live next year?" This question is conveniently resolved every spring by a pr ocess which the Residence Life Office has appropriately termed "Room Selection." Sounds pretty fundamental. Everyone j ust 'selects rooms' as the name implies, right? If only it were that simple. In an effort to make r oom selection as fair as is humanly possible to all those &g:lr oorm students ( about 800, all of whom want to move into the same Io rooms), the process has snowballed into one of the most complicated endeavors known to mankind. Well, at least it seems that way to RA's , students and housing directors. It is baffling. So, most confused students naturally go to their RA's to clear up their problems: Student: "Hi. I have a small question about r oom selection. RA: "Sure, come on in." Student: "Okay , here IJ)eS. want to live in 217 next year and I want Betty to be my r oommate , but Joann wants to live there with Andrea, but I've lived here longer than Joann, even if she is a junior and I'm and I will want to room together. - The person with the Well?" most living time in the RA: Oh my God!

So what happens ff Andrea and Betty pick in the lottery and Betty gets a Yoo'RE CAN'T occordingly . Hint: Even if you should want to move to another dorm , you shou ld participate in In-House selection and get a blrt-up room in case you get a r otten number in the Out-House lottery. I Out-House Selection I forgot. .. I have an Econ test. .. Right now ! .. .I'll clear this up for you later on. No problem !" This explains why the sight of first shot at it because she's a panic-stricken RA making a oloor and has seniority in the moo dash for the housing office oorm? ...

There are just a few more spec1fics that help complicate this procedure: Roommates: If a person either stftys in his room or picks a room in the lottery, he has fi r st choice over the ilEOtity of his roommate. ( So make fr iends with. . an upperclassman who picks a ,;,xx1 number). -If you pick a room and oon' t know who you want for a roommate, someone will be "assigned" to you over the summer . Remember , anything can happen in this situation, so oo your best to avoid it. Alternates: If you oon't get the room you want in either In-House or Out -House selection. you can be an alternate for the r oom.

' As of this date Wilkes remains a liberal arts college - and one of the bulwarks of America. A liberal education is as basic a part of the American tradition as indiviudal freedom. Indeed liberal education is one of our oldest traditions. For Harvard, our oldest liberal arts college, was founded in 1636, the United States as a nation dates from 1787, and the " Bill of Rights" amendments which guarantee individual freedoms were added to the constitution in 1791. An education in the liberal arts is a liberalyzing education, and the word "liberal" comes from the Latin liber, which means "free" . So " the liberal arts" literally mean " the arts becoming to a free man". From the beginning back in 1933 as Bucknell University Junior College I think this college has been faithful in offering a liberalzing educational philosophy throughout the years. There are those who believe that what has been going on at ~ilkes may not now be meeting the needs of students in the last quarter of the twentieth century. Coincidentally a committee at the college has just completed a study on the subject. But I feel liberal education, as conceived and taught at Wilkes is practical education for its purpose has been to awaken and develop intellectual and spiritual values in the student before he enters upon his chosen career, so that he may bring to that career the greatest possible assets of intelligence, resourcefulness, judgment and character. We look with pride toward Wilkes today, for what it has contributed and for what is hopes to do. As a liberal college we are proud of this heritage of emphasizing human values, and encouraging the development of the individual student and scholar. And we feel it is a college of contemporary relevance. Wilkes cannot live in the golden eras of its past if it is to serve the present. Nor can it live in the prospect of the future , if the present is to reveal the future . It is Wilkes' role to lead in our sphere of higher education; not to follow. Its role is to assert command over the forces of change rather than be their reluctant victim. And size, diversity and specialization do not automatically carry virtue in their train. We are called upon as a faculty and administration to give the most careful thought to the central purposes we serve best lest we .become as John Gardner recently described our sprawling metropolitan centers, 'the unintended consequences of millions of fragmented purposes.' Such a view of the college does not depricate specialization, organization or discipline in our society. On the contrary, it assigns them their proper and most meaningful roles. We know that specialization is necessary in an age in which so many skills are available and required that no man can develop them all. We must understand that through organization we know when and how these skills are available to us. We appreciate too the necessary role of discipline for when we depend on others as much as we do in our complex society, we want to be sure they are dependable. But at Wilkes we must assert as one of the basic assumptions on which the college rests that man, not knowledge, or power, or technology, or specialization or organization, is the central focus of our effort. These things, like the Sabbath, were made for man. We anticipate the inauguration of Christopher Breiseth with great joy and renewed hope. We will provide cogent educational leadership for this little liberal arts college so that it will remain a bulwark for the finer quality of life in this area and in America. Appropriately, the inauguration of our new president occurs as spring is breaking upon us and as Easter occurs - signifying new life. And so it will be at Wilkes - renewed spirit and commitment to a liberating experience. Let each of us in his or her own little sphere catch the renewed spirit and go forward, shoulder to shoulder toward a finer educational experience at Wilkes. 'It will be a big day for our family ... " To The Wilkes Student Body: The coming inauguration of a new president of Wilkes is both a solemn and happy moment in the life of the College. Wilkes has inaugurated only three other presidents in more than half a century: Eugene Farley, Francis Michelini, and Robert Capin. Both Dr. Michelini and Dr. Capin will participate in the inauguration. Mrs. Breiseth and I hope that many of you also will participate with us in the ceremony on Sunday, April 14, in the Wilkes Gymnasium. You need to pick up tickets in advance since the audience is expected to fill the gym. It obviously will be a big day for our family, including our daughters, Abigail, Erika, and Lydia, and other members of our families, as well as many old friends . More significant, it will be an important day for the College and the many constituencies which nourish and draw strength from Wilkes: the students, the faculty, tl)e administration, the trustees, the alumni, and friends of the College from near and far. In addition, more than 130 colleges, universities, and learned societies will be represented by delegates marching in the academic procession. The colorful pageantry will be memorable, linking this moment of renewal at Wilkes with similar moments for colleges and universities throughout history, drawing on traditions going back to medieval Europe. We are connected to our past, frequently in ways we barely grasp. This installation will make explicit our ties as a College not only to Wilkes's own proud past but to the tradition of higher learning. After receiving the chain of office, I will speak about the mission of Wilkes as we prepare for the 21st century. My remarks will be built upon the work of the Mission Task Force this year. Dr. Frederick Rudolph, a leader in higher education, an old friend, and a son of the Wyoming Valley, will be the major speaker. In addition to the greetings from other leaders of our region, the ceremony will premier a major musical work written for the inauguration by Wilkes faculty member, Bruce Reiprich, and performed by Wilkes students. There will be other events. A piano recital in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday afternoon at 4 p.m. by Roosevelt Newson will begin the formal festivities . You are invited to this as to all the other public events, including the faculty seminar on Saturday evening, the Morning of Celebration in the CPA on Sunday at 10 a.m., and the reception in the Dining Hall after the inauguration. There will also be parties on Saturday night where we hope to see you. We want to thank the many students who have helped or will help with the logistics of this ambitious undertaking. The Breiseths hope to inaugurate the inauguration with a reception held by commuter students in the Conyngham Student Center on Thursday and with residential students in the Dining Hall for dinner Thursday evening. We hope many of you are looking forward to his celebration as we are and that you, too, plan to participate. Sincerely a{~ (:b,1-u,1-i_ Christopher N. Breiseth 'April 14 will be a great ·day at Wilkes' George Ralston Dean of Student Affairs Letter from the editor About a month ago, seniors Kathy Hyde and Tom Monsen told me they had a good idea. We talked about it for a few minutes, but it didn't take me long to see they were right - they had a good idea. This Beacon special issue is Kathy and Tom's brain-child. They, more than any other Beacon staff members, invested numerous hours of time and effort producing this issue. · Kathy, Beacon news editor, and Tom, Beacon feature editor, are this issue's editors. Their creativity and insight are responsible for making the Special Inauguration Issue a success. The Beacon has broken new ground this year with the introduction of color. Now, Kathy and Tom have set another standard by using a full color photograph. Full color photographs are expensive. The Breiseth family portrait cost more. than an entire regular Beacon issue. To offset the cost, Kathy and Tom solicited ads from various Wilkes College organizations. · Their advertising campaign was so successful that this issue, costing four times more than a regular issue, will almost pay for itself. No previous issue has been as successful. -Page 2 - ::(,~,Jn {! =L ~ Timothy P. Williams Beacon Editor-In-Chief The Beacon/Special Inauguration Issue .....:... "April 1r. 1985 My thanks to the editors of the Beacon for giving me this opportunity to send inaugural greetings, on behalf of the Board of Trustees, to President Breiseth and his family. The Board is pleased and proud that Dr. Breiseth accepted its invitation to become the fourth president of Wilkes College. We are confident that he will perform his challenging task with distinction. April 14 will be a great day at Wilkes. We are delighted to be joining with the rest of the College community on this grand occasion. I would like to add a special greeting from the Board to the whole student body. It is. you who make our efforts worthwhile. And to the editors and staff of the Beacon, I send an extra thank you for putting out a first-class publication this year. Sincerely, ~~&~ Patricia Davies Chairman, Board of Trustees �Wilkes PreSidents Past Eugene S. Farley . 1947 · 1970 In April of 1936, John Eisenhauer, who had been appointed director of BUJC by Bucknell University, was replaced by Eugene S. Farley. Dr. Farley came to Wilkes-Barre confident that the Junior College could survive, and be able to supply an excellent service to the community. Farley was conscious of two very important factors. The first being that many students with exceptional ability had seized the opportunity offered by the establishment of a college they could attend while living at home. Their economic condition in the midst of the "great depression" would not allow them to finance an education away from home. The second factor was the existance of a diverse student body with a wide range of abilities and motivation. "" Dr. Farley instantly gained the respect of the community and college leaders. He was often referred to as "The Great White Father" or " The Old Man", respectfully. Farley was a physically tall, big, strong man with an equally strong Irish-Quaker ancestry. The respect that Dr. Farley had earned along with his dedication, perserverence, belief in the Junior College, and genuine concern for students provided all the necessary elements to allow for the college to survive. The early years, were years of slow material growth, but the college's contributions to the community established the rules and traditions that Wilkes College still swears by. In 1938, it was announced that a $30,000 deficit had been created during the first five years of BUJC's existance. At the time, Dr. Farley was working very closely with Arnaud Marts, head of one of the best fundraising companies in the country. Together Farley and Marts set forth to conduct a campaign that provided for the donation of the necessary money. Needless to say, the campaign was completely successful, and gifts exceeded more than $30,000. In 1946, six years later- and one year before the charter of Wilkes College as a four year, independent, liberal arts college, a second campaign was conducted. With this campaign, and $25,000 worth of Woolworth stock given to Dr. Farley and board associate, Hilbert McClintock, the college was again cleared of another deficit with $8,000 to spare. With the funds given to the college between 1943 and 1947, the essential endowment was attained, and six additional properties were acquired. Unfortunately the fundraising was not complete, another project lay before Dr. Farley and the board. In 1947, the Middle State Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges, accredited the newly-created Wilkes College with the understanding that a gymnasium would have to be constructed to meet the needs of a physical education program. A campaign was conducted during 1948 and 1949 which raised $425,000 enabling the college to build a gym by the end of 1949. After the construction of the gymnasium, it seemed that the college had reached a plateau. Dr. Farley felt that if the college did not continue to grow, his services would be useless and there would be little need for him to stay in WilkesBarre. It was a critical period for Dr. Farley and one that he called "very trying." In 1955, Dr. Farley and Marts once again raised their sights and plans for ag- By Gail Steidler Francis J. Michelini 1970 · 1976 With the resignation of Dr. Farley came an agreement by the Board of Trustees to appoint Dr. Francis J. Michelini, as his successor. Dr. Michelini had previously served as Dean of Academic Affairs. Dr. Michelini served as president for five years before he left Wilkes to become president of the Pennsylvania Commission of Independent Colleges and Universities. It was during Dr. Michelini's term as president that the infamous Agnes Flood in June of 1972 created a disaster in the Wyoming Valley and nearly destroyed the college as well. Being the most dramatic event in college history, all other issues, financial or academic, were pushed aside. The college was at the center of the flood area and not one facility on campus was untouched. If the buildings did remain intact, the damages internally were incredibly extensive. The college and community were suffering incredibly and the question asked was "Can We Survive?" Operation "SnapBack", which planned to restore the Valley, was set into motion. After all, the college was a vital part of the community and therefore should set the necessary for the community to follow. However, even if the college was able to set an example for the community, the financial burden was extraordinary, and resources limited. Yet under the leadership of Dr. Michelini, and the addition of large scale government support, the college was able to return to full operation. It was a back breaking, tiresome, uphill battle. With the time and support of the students, faculty, alumni and even the National Guard, the college was able to open its classroom doors to the students that fall · as though it were just another year. Even before the flood occurred, the college was noticeably changing in a number of ways. Wilkes was uneasy about the projection of declining enrollment, the change of student interests, as well as with the gressive action to improve the college. The proposals made to the College Board stated that by 1958 funds should be obtained for: 1) an Auditorium, Music, and Arts building, 2) the acquisition of additional land, 3) an Engineering Building, 4) a classroom building including laboratories for the sciences, 5) a library, 6) increased income for faculty salaries and student aid, and 7) an increased permanent endowment. The response to the proposal was exactly · what Dr. Farley and Marts had hoped for, yet the challenge was obvious. The money needed to allow for the construction was extraordinary, and time was valuable. 1961 marked Dr. Farley's 25th year in Wilkes-Barre, and he was nonored at a testimonial dinner for his many contributions he made to the college and community. It was a time for the faculty and community to reflect back on all he had accomplished. Still very active in Farley were his strong feelings of determination, dedication, perserverance, and a strong belief in the college and community. It was a time of appreciation, and a time when Dr. Farley would further prove to himself and others that after 25 years he was not burned out but actually was just beginning. Throughout the 60's, there was rapid charge and growth on the Wilkes Campus. The Graduate and Research wing of Stark When Dr. Michelini left Wilkes College Hall were completed to further prove the to become President of the Pennsylvania college's diversitility.

The generous that his memory will live on for dorm was for both men and women of the eternity. college. economic security of the college. Wilkes, noted as a Liberal Arts College, decided that the curriculum should contain preprofessional programs as well as the Liberal Arts. The energy crisis presented itself in the 70's and hit Wilkes College with significant impact. A large percentage of the campus buildings were old and becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, and/or renovate. The college, needed newer, upto-date buildings that would prove to be more efficient and economically satisfying. Stark Learning Center and new residence halls were opened and added to the college's appearance. Dr. Michelini was the man who provided the necessary leadership for Wilkes College during these trying times. Without his devotion, and belief in the survival of the college, Wilkes could have gone under and lost all that it had been working to create during its 41 years. The Agnes Flood and the social changes of the early 70's, presented a great threat to the survival of Wilkes, but Dr. Michelini took on the challenge with a great amount of energy and proved to himself and the community that if there was a will, there certainly was a way. Robert S. Capin 1976 · 1984 Robert Capin contributed 26 years to Wilkes College and served on several committees such as the Executive Committee of the Commission for Independent Colleges and Universities and the National Advisory Allergy and Infectious Diseases Council of the National Institutes of Health. In the fall of 1984, Robert Ca pin left Wilkes College in order to further his career as an accountant. The college was saddened to see Capin leave, but very supportive of his professional goal. With the resignation of Capin came an intense and all inclusive search for a new dynamic president. �Music Department Lends Talents To Inauguration Origi,nal Composition Pi.ano Recital By Pamela Yagiello By Laura Vallone All important events should be accompanied by appropriate music to create the proper atmosphere and capture the enthusiasm of the audience. Dr. Bruce Reiprich, a member of the Wilkes Music Department faculty, has undertaken the responsibility of such a composition which will be premiered at the inauguration of Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth. Dr. Reiprich, originally from Chicopee, Mass., obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Music Theory from the Eastman School of Music, and a Ph.D. in Music Composition from the University of Iowa. Later he taught at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music for one year, and then became a faculty 1hember at Wilkes. Reiprich conceived the idea for the piece, which is entitled "Emerald Blue," last spring and worked on it for approximately four months - June through September. He structured the piece around several factors. First, he intended it to be especially for Dr. Breiseth's inauguration. "I hope to capture the spirit of an inauguration as it reflects the spirit of the man being put into office," said Reiprich. The artist must keep in mind for whom he is writing - not ever losing sight of that," he added. Seco~d, he wanted the piece to involve as many students of the Music Department as possible. The piece will be performed by members of both the Wind Ensemble and the Chorus, thus involving just about everyone in the department. Reiprich wanted the piece to be a challenge, not only to the students, but also to the conductor for whom he intended it Jerome Campbell, chairman of the Music Department. Reiprich also intended to exemplify current trends in music. He believes that one who is concerned with the art of the present should pass it on to future generations to reflect our present culture. "The composer or artist has an option when approaching a project of this sort. People often make compromises, but the music should deal with the present. A new president should be accompanied by new music," said Reiprich. According to Reiprich, there are some important things to remember while listening to the piece. Although the choral part is quite short, the focal point of the entire piece is centered on the choral entrance. Roosevelt Newson has been described by the Los Angeles Times as "a pianist of fine musical instinct and obvious keyboard flair." The Wasington Post says his playing " bursts with drive, direction, and impetuosity." Newson, a faculty member in the Wilkes Music Department, will give a partial recital in honor of President Breiseth's inauguration. The recital, scheduled for Saturday, April 13, at 4:30, kicks off the inaugural activities and will include pieces by Brahms and Schumann. Dr. Newson, born in Louisiana, is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory where he studied with Watler Hautzig and Leon Fleisher. With two grants from the Ford Foundation, he finished his doctoral studies and went on with his professional training at Julliard. Newson has performed with the York Symphony, Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic, Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, and the Baltimore Symphony Or- The words of the piece are taken directly from the text of a poem by the Turkish poet Oguz Tansel whom Reiprich met and was inspired by. Reiprich found that this portion of Tansel's poetry instantly lent itself to composition and to this type of piece in particular. " Ultimately I hope the president enjoys the piece," ~id Reiprich, "It is written for he and the students." How it all got done The Inauguration Steering Committee was appointed four months ago by the Board of Trustees and "has been working ever since, " said Betsy Condron. Mrs. Condron, Director of Community Relations for Wilkes, has also assumed the role of Inauguration Coordinator and general chairperson of the Steering Committee, which is composed of trustees, faculty, administrators, students and alumni. The response to the countless invitations that were sent out has been incredible, according to Mrs. Condron. "We've had a terrific turnout, " she said, "and we are expecting over 1,000 guests." An unexpectedly high number of guests have also requested campus tours. "We have a gorgeous campus,' Mrs. Condron said, "and people have heard about it. " Arthur Hoover, Associate Dean of Student Affairs, has also served on the Steering Committee. "Inaugurations are a chance to think of the college in its entirety as compared with its constituent parts," :he said. "We see this upcoming inauguration as a way of bringing together all elements of the college community: alumni, faculty, students, board and townspeople," Hoover added.

He has given ·successful performances in Salzburg, Vienna, Brussels, the Hague, and London. He is also a veteran of the Affiliate Artists Program in New York and has presented many concerts on radio and television. "I had planned to take a year off to practice for my recital in the fall," said Newson, "I felt it to be an honor, though, when President Breiseth called and asked me to play for the inauguration. I then decided to put some things on the back burner," he said. The program will include the following works by Brahms: A Sherzo in E flat minor, three piano pieces - an Intermezzo in A major, an Intermezzo in C major, and an Intermezzo in E flat minor. Following the Brahms pieces, Newson will perform "Carnival," Op. 9 by Schumann, which he says is "a festive piece which fits the occasion very well." Newson says he chose these two composers because "they wanted a 45-minute program. I already had the "Carnival" in mind, but I needed something to preceed it with ... So why Brahms? Because he's my favorite composer." Newson is more excited than nervous about the recital. " You're always nervous," he said, " but you get comfortable dealing with the amount of nerves it takes to perform." Dr. Newson's future plans include an allChopin recital scheduled for next fall with particular emphasis on some of his edudes. During the summer he will give a recital in Baltimore, perform at the Encore Music Camp, and play at a gala for the Wilkes-Barre Ballet. Dr. Breiseth: Congratulations! .

What has gone before helps set the stage for what is to come. But the history of Wilkes College is not based solely on tradition, but on change and development. With each new era came new attitudes, events and people that helped shape Wilkes College into the institution it is today. IN THE BEGINNING ... 1933-1946 "The story of a college cannot be tol\i in facts and figures," said Dr. Eugene S. Farley, our first president. "It unfolds with the lives of those who have been influenced by their association with it." The story of Bucknell 'University Junior College, the forerunner of Wilkes College, began in 1933 with 193 freshmen. This local college gave the Wyoming Valley students who would not afford to go away to school a chance to receive an education. BUJC was the cure for a community that could have passed away with the death of the anthracite coal industry. "BUJC provided a place for the sons and daughters of coal miners to expand themselves in all respects," explains Dean Arthur Hoover (Wilkes Class of '55). " It was the first attempt at any form of higher education in this area. Without a local college, college may not have been in my future." But in 1933 the future of BUJC was uncertain. For the first five years Bucknell University financially supported the tiny junior college. The campus we know today did not exist. There was no Stark Learning Center, no Pickering, and no Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for The Performing Arts. The junior college began in rented quarters on the third floor of the WilkesBarre Business College on Northampton Street. Eventually BUJC took over the entire building; but one building does not a campus make. Luckily, strong support came from the community. The Osterhourt Free Library helped start a small college library and the Kirby Health Center served as classroom and laboratory for BUJC biology students. By 1936 change and growth had begun. In March of '36 Eugene Farley replaced John Eisenhauer as director of BUJC. And BUJC finally had a campus; Chase and Conyngham Hall. In the next few years the student body and faculty also started to grow. Instead of commuting from Bucknell University (in Lewisburg), some of the faculty moved to Wilkes-Barre. In 1938 BUJC tested it's independence by creating it's own board of trustees, chaired by Gilbert McClintock. And in 1938 President Farley proudly announced that the college enrollment had grown to 401. With a growing student body_, the board of trustees began looking for ways to expand the BUJC campus beyond two buildings. They set their sights on the Kirby home. By 1941 the BUJC library was located on the second floor of Kirby Hall, music lessons were being given on the first floor and dances were being held in the main living rooms. But just when BUJC's growth seemed unstoppable, the college's enrollment dropped dramatically to 111 students. The cause: World War II. In the Spring of '43 the majority of BUJC's male students were drafted. The future of the junior college was in jeopardy and the chances of making BUJC a fouryear institution were non existent, but Dr. Farley and the United States Air Force Chaner Day - 194 7 changed everything. In April of '43 Dr. Farley convinced the Army-Air Force to start a pre-flight training program at BUJC. Explains Dean George Ralston, " If Dr. Farley had not persuaded the Army-Air Force to send their cadets to BUJC, BUJC may have gone out of existence." With the influx of 1,200 cadets the need for a large campus was clear. Between 1943 and 1946 BUJC's campus appeared to grow overnight. Gies Hall, Butler Hall, Barre Hall, "The Commons" Cafeteria, Wayman Hall, Stoddard House, and Ashley Hall were just a few of the buildings now part of a junior college yearning to become a four-year school. That dream was just around the corner. THE GOLDEN YEARS ... 1946-1960 Dean Ralston has spent 38 years at Wilkes College, as he explains, "I spent my whole life here ... but my fondest memories are of the post World War II years ... the golden years." With the end of the war and the start of the G.I. Bill, came a large scale invasion of students. According to Dean Ralston, "After World War II there was a tremendous energy. a need to go to school...there was a backlog of students. There was a feeling that the school was going to grow." World War II almost broke the school, but as it turned out, it was the catalyst needed to make BUJC "Wilkes College." In May 1947 an application for a charter as an independent, four-year liberal arts college was presented to the Luzerne County Court of Common Pleas. Originally; the school was to be named the Wyoming Valley College. Other possible names included Anthracite College, Luzerne College, Riverside College and Westmoreland College. The charter was later ammended to call the new school Wilkes College after the Englishman John Wilkes. On June 26, 1947 BUJC officially became Wilkes College. The transformation from a junior college into a four-year institution could be seen in the development of extracurricular activities at Wilkes. What started as a basic pioneering educational effort grew into a well rounded academic program. Clubs and organizations provided students " unity amidst diversity." In 1947 the Choral Club was formed followed by Cue . P,!Jge 6 .-r ,T-he Bea~qn/Special lnaugur~i.on .lssu.e...---ApriJ ,1-1 , 1985 and Curtain, Theta Delta Rho, the InterDormitory Council (Dormitories were opened in 1947), the International Relations Club, the NUJC Bison -Stampede became the Wilkes College Beacon, the Manuscript emerged and the Debate Club began, just to name a few. The golden years were filled with firsts . In 1947 the first Homecoming was held. In 1951 the first on-campus commencement took place. Several community-oriented programs also began in the 1950s. One of these organizations was the Labor Management Citizens Committee, the only one of its kind in Pennsyvlania. Other major events in the 50's included a visit by Eleanor Roosevelt, an American Town Meeting on the Air with Eric Severeid as moderator broadcasted coast to coast from the Wilkes Gymnasium, and on September 27, 1957 the dedication of Stark Hall in honor of Admiral Harold R. Stark, Chief of the United States Naval Operations. As Dr. Farley wrote, "The early years teemed with the creation of cocurricular organizations, campus activities, publications and faculty community involvements." The post World War II years were indeed golden; for Wilkes College they were years rich in development. But even more significant changes, and challegnes, lay ahead. In the 1960s and early 70s, perhaps reflecting our society, there was growth and change in all facets of the institution. The Wilkes College campus, student enrollment, student involvement and curriculum rapidly expanded. The expansion of Stark Hall in 1964 brought growth and change not only to Wilkes but to Wilkes-Barre. In January the Graduate and Research wings of Stark Hall were completed. This new addition meant advances in the graduate programs offered. Biology, chemistry, physics, preprofessional programs and other graduate studies with Temple University and the Hahnemann Medical Center developed within the next ten years. The growth of Wilkes College directly affected the growth and revitalization of the Wyoming Valley by bringing new industry to the area. In 1964 the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) came to the WilkesBarre area. The Graduate Center, with its technical facilities and educational opportunities for employees of RCA, helped make this area attractive to new industries. In August of 1964 the advancement in the sciences at Wilkes was balanced with an advancement in the performing arts. The Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts provided both the college and the community with excellent facilities for recitals, concerts and plays. Five years later the CPA was given a new addition: the Department of Music. This new facility provided studios, classrooms and rehearal rooms. Each day a new building seemed to appear on the Wilkes Campus. The physical growth of the campus spread across the river, to Kirby Park. In 1964 the college expanded their athletic facilities , building a field house, locker rooms, a football field and stands, a soccer field, tennis courts, a field hockey area and a parking lot on a seven and one-half acre area next to the park. During Homecoming in 1965 the new athletic complex was christened Ralston Field in honor of Dean Ralston. But the growth of the campus did not end there; in April of 1964 construction began on a new c!.ormitol'y and dining hall. Pickering Hall was ment to be a departure from the traditional " barrack" like dormitory. The unusually shaped building provided housing for 268 men and its ad. joining dining hall could seat 700 students. The need for more space was obvious. In 1960, 240 students lived on campus, but the (continued on page 10) The B iologi,cal Society ······· , ......•••• extends congratulations and best wishes to President Breiseth •••• ·.·. and his family I ~::·::::::::::::::::::=::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::; ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: i I.' �The Beacon / Special Inauguration Issue - ,April , ll , 1985 ~ Page 7 �----------- .-~.: -::: . ii II! :t.a\ , Thursday, April 11 Inaugural Picnic - Commuter students' teceptiQn for President Breiseth, 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on the Student Center Lawn Jnaugural Dinner - Resident Students' dinner , · honoring the Breiseth family 4: 30 - 6: 30 p.m. in; . ,. the.

' (continued from page 6) number soon began to grow and by 1969, 844 students resided at Wilkes. The overall enrollment of the college also grew during the 60s. In 1960 the student enrollment was 1,171, but that total more than doubled by 190, reaching 2,556. With a larger student body the need for a larger library became clear. Appropriately, a four floor library, with space for 425,000 books, was dedicated to the man who helped make Wilkes College the school it is today. On November 1, 1968 the new library was named "The Eugene Sheldon Farley Library." The commemorative plaque reads: " May all who study in these halls gain vision to inspire, conviction to sustain and wisdom to guide." In the 1960s and early 70s the students at Wilkes College did have that desire to lead, change and>become active. Vietnam, Kent State, a concern for eliminating racial and sexual discrimination, the trial of the Chicago Seven, and Richard Nixon's turbulant presidency are just a few of the events that helped lead to a desire among students to become active and push for change. Protests, sit-ins, and demonstrations appeared on the Wilkes campus. But this desire to revolt did not lead to anarachy rather, during this period, some of the finest student leadership emerged at Wilkes. Activism was the key word, not apathy. Since 1947 women had not been allowed to enter mens dorms and the men could only visit in the lounges. Women.also had to be in their dorm by a certain time, signing in and signing out. Men had to wear jackets at dinner and women never wore jeans. In the mid 60's and 70's this changed. Through protests and demonstrations students let their grievances be known. In the early '70s the traditional_ house Inaugural Speaker f Dr. Frederick Rudolph, Williams College Professor of History Emeritus, will deliver the Inaugural Address at Sunday's Ceremony. President Breiseth describes Rudolph as "a leader in higher education, an old friend, and a son of the Wyoming Valley." Ppge 10 - mothers and house fathers were replaced by Resident Assistants. The college created a Housing Office and the needs of the growing dorm population were soon met, yet the true milestone in student involvement came in '74. Students became members of Faculty standing Committees and are now allowed to participate in debates and vote on issues facing the college. Student life in the '60's was colorful. The students of the 80's have of the " racial sixties" are somewhat accurate. Long hair and protests were common; but as Dean Hoover notes '' ... there has always been a concern of people by people at Wilkes College." That caring and concern surfaced in June 1972 when Wilkes-Barre and Wilkes College experienced one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Agnes was no lady. She was a hurricane that crushed building~, often moving them from their foundations. No part of the Wilkes College campus was left untouched. Water-logged books, swollen to -twice their size, forced apart metal and wooden bookcases. The . molding and floors of buildings left from the early days of the college were buckled beyond repair. The slimy mud covered and coated everything. Dean Hoover describes Ralston field "as if a bomb had been dropped there." The football field had " hard huge chunks of mud all over it," he says. " The bleachers were ripped apart ; it looked like the aftermath of a bomb attack." In all, Agnes , caused 15 million dollars worth of damage and tremendous concern about the college's future. As Dean Hoover says, " The question was, could we open?" • The College's first summer session reopened less than a week and a half after the flood. The recovery effort was dubbed "Operation Snapback" , and by September 29 the college had snapped back from a disaster that could have destroyed the institution. President Francis Michelini provided the positive attitude and leadership the school needed. Students came up on weekends to help clean off the layers of mud coating Wilkes College. They gave up summer jobs and vacations to return to school and help reconstruct the campus. As Dean Hoover says, " there was a tremendous spirit, students reacted fantastically." The college could have rolled over and died after the devastating flood, but Agnes was seen as a chance to make any necessary changes. Newer buildings, like Stark Learning Center were completed and others, such as Evans Hall were built. The student center, the Annette Evans House, Kirby, Bedford and Chase Halls were renovated. Changes in leadership also took place. In 1975 Robert Capin, an alumnus of Wilkes, became the new president. Under president Capins' leadership the college enhanced its fund raising, expanded its curriculum and the campus. In 1985 Wilkes College is still growing and changing. New clubs and organizations develop each semester. The dormitories are slowly becoming coed (quite a change from the resjdence halls in 1947) . Even the curriculum is growing with the addition of a masters program in engineering and a communications department. Obviously the most recent change is our new president, Dr. Christopher Brieseth. With each new change we grow and develop. As Dr. Farley noted in 1960, " The growth of Wilkes College has, demonstrated that vision and generosity are the essential ingredients of growth .. .today Wilkes College looks back only that it may look forward more clearly." The Beacon/Special Inauguration Issue - April 11, 1985 The Academic Procession By Cress Shallers Delegates from Educational institutions and learned societies around the country will come to participate in Sunday's academic procession which will precede the Inauguration ceremony and which will begin at Stark Learning Center at 1:30 p.m. According to Betsy Condron, Inauguration Coordinator, there will be approximately 150 delegates participating. " It's very colorful, " she said, " and very exiciting." All the participants in the procession will be wearing the traditional academic costume inherited from Oxford University, chartered in 1214, which consists of cap, gown and hood. At that time, students and faculty wore robes and hoods like the clergy to signify the close connection between Oxford and the Church. But more importantly, robes and hoods were necessary for warmth in the unheated buildings. The mortarboard cap came into use during the 16th century, but scholars disagree on its origin. Two theoreis are that the cap is square like a scholar's books, or the cap is patterned after the quadrangular shape of the Oxford campus. The distinguishing feature of the cap is the color of the tassle, which is black for the holders of bachelor's and master's degrees and may be gold for holders of doctoral degrees and the governing officers of educational institutions. Caps and gowns hav~ been worn at American schools since Colonial times, but it was not until 1885 that they became customary apparel at commencements. By 1895 a code for academic costume was approved by most American universities and colleges. Gowns are traditionally black, although several institutions have authorized doctoral gowns in their school colors. Those worn by bachelors have long, pointed sleeves. Masters wear gowns with closed sleeves, a slit for the arm and an arc cut near the bottom. The doctor's gown features velvet trim down the front and large bell-shaped sleeves with three velvet crossbars on the upper arm. The hood is the most distinctive feature of the academic attire. The length of the hood and the width of its velvet border indicate the level of the degree held. The hood for the master's degree is three and one-half feet long with a three-inch border. The doctor's hood is four feet long and the border is five inches wide. The inner lining of the·hood is in the colors of the institution conferring the degree, while the color of the border indicates the field of learning in which the degree was earned. At the head of the academic procession will be a color guard and mace bearer. The Wilkes College mace is made of sterling silver throughout. The upper end of the shaft displays the inscription " Wilkes College 1933." Above the short, hammered neck rises a bowl to indicate that Wilkes-Barre has acted as a melting pot in forming a new and rigorous community of people in many different backgrounds. The theme is clearly stated in the gilt inscription around the (continued on page 12) Congratulations Dr. Breiseth and Family ll' From M.W.

Ppge 11 �The Breiseths ' Winding Road to Wilkes College By Tim Williams In August of 1957 India celebrated its first decade of independence. Christopher N. Breiseth was there. Between his sophomore and junior years at UCLA, Breiseth participated in Project India, a Peace Corps-type program. Project India was established in 1952 to cement relations with the Indian and American people when the two countries were less than harmonious. The Peace Corps wasn't formed until 1971. For Breiseth, Project India was more than an educational experience - it changed his life. In an interview last week, he said he thought he would prepare for the Unitarian Ministry while at UCLA, but his Indian experience chl:l,Pged his mind. As his graduation approached, Breiseth said he wasn't sure about his future ... until three UCLA professors interested him in graduate school. Breiseth said three different faculty members from three different departments nominated him for a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship. Breiseth received the following, earning the B. Litt. degree in Modern British History from Oxford University, and the Ph.D. in European Intellectual History from Cornell University. One day - October 5, 1962 to be exact while eating lunch at Cornell, Breiseth met his future wife, Jane, who was earning a master's degree in comparative literature. The Breiseths have three children Abigail 16, Erika 14 and Lydia, 4. Fortunately for Brieseth, his family shared his passion for travelling and meeting new people - next stop, Sangamon State Univer- ') ') ) ) ( ( ( ) ) ( ) -- ........,...... sity, Springfield, Illinois. As a professor and chairman of the Department of History at Sangamon, Breiseth took two sabbaticals, one at a California cattle ranch and the other in Europe. Breiseth categorized the semester in Europe as a break. Because he had studied at Oxford, Breiseth took his family to King's College (England) for most of the sabbatical. The family also toured the Continent. In 1980 Breiseth accepted the presidency of Deep Springs College in California. Deep Springs, a two-year college with 24 male students, required Breiseth to take a three-year leave of absence from Sangamon. Because Deep Springs is a fairly selfsufficient cattle ranch removed from civilization, the 24 students and roughly ten faculty members were forced to help with the college's daily function. Abigail and Erika helped, too. Abigail said she milked cows while Erika worked the vegetable garden and babysat. The girls went to school only two or three days On the cover Breiseth family portrait was taken by J.B. Earl. J.B. is a junior Earth and Environmental Science major from Kingston, PA. He is a photographer for the Amnicola, and says he takes pictured mostly as a hobby. a week because of Deep Springs' remote location. Abigail said the ride to Big Pine school was only 45 minutes, but part of the way was through a sometimes treacherous mountain pass. Big Pine's student population was approximately 300, kindergarten through twelfth grade. " You had to be friends with everybody," Abigail said. Big Pine and Deep Springs were very similar. Breiseth said he enjoyed the Deep Springs atmosphere. Deep Springs' holistic education, Breiseth said, is something that benefits the students long after their college days. Because Deep Springs is small, the students are forced to live and cooperate with people they may not like. Deep Springs' students, therefore, learn more than the classic subjects, they learn about life. After Deep Springs, the Breiseth family moved back to Springfield, until Breiseth became the fourth president of Wilkes College in the Fall of 1984. The Breiseths seem to enjoy living in Wilkes-Barre. They say the people are , friendlier here than in Springfield. Abigail and Erika attend Meyers High School, and they say it's their favorite of · the six high schools they've attended during the last six years. Lydia participates in a local day care program located near McClintock Hall. The two oldest children, it seems will finish their secondary education in WilkesBarre. Lydia may spend kindergarten through high school in the area. It appears the Breiseth family is happy here. Breiseth has seen the world, and now h~ may finally settle down. Procession (continued from page 10) upper part of the bowl: Unity Amidst Diversity. Set into the top of the bowl is the gilt seal of Wilkes College. The top of the mace is a gilt, flame-like structure to indicate the enlightenment to be gained from higher education. A piece of anthracite coal from a mine is set in the center of the flame to commemorate the origin of the community and the college in its coal mining past. During the ceremony of investiture, Patricia Davies, Chairman of the Board of Trustees, and Robert S. Capin, President Emeritus, will present the chain of office to the fourth president of Wilkes College. The links of the sterling silver chain are -alternating silver bowls and the gilt flames repeating the.motif of the mace. In the front hangs the gilt seal of the College suspended from a cluster of oak leaves with three acorns, to suggest the strength and sturdiness of future generations. The back of the chain is a silver portrait of Eugene S. Farley, first president of Wilkes College, set in a cluster of gilt oak . leaves to commemorate his strong leadership of the college. By all predictions, the academic procession will be a sight not to be missed.

Members of Kinney's Kids include (left to right) Dan Duttinger, Walter Schonfeld, Annette Winski , Donna O'Toole, Eric Chase and R C. Nause. See story on p. 9. by Kathy Hyde Last night, at meetings held with residents of Barre Hall and Miner 4, Residence Life Directors Paul Adams and Sue Tomalis announced that the use of those halls would be reclesignated for next semester. Miner 4 will be converted to a male resioonce hall, and the third floor of Barre Hall will be converted to female residency. Adams explained that these decisions were mcrl! in an effort to "improve the overall quality of residence life on campus." According to Adams, the redesignation plan was devised based upon the following objectives: - To increase the acceptance level of Miner Ha11 ·as a desired residence hall. - To decrease the number of freshman students placed at Mi ner Hall. - That any reclesignation of .residence halls be based on the anticipated number of male and female housing contracts. A1iams also noted the following implications of the plan: - The addition of men to Miner Hall will improve security. - The number of single rooms available to men on campus w1ll increase. - Co-educational housing at Miner Hall may make it a more attractive facility. Objections from residents of M1ner 4 centered on the topics of seniority in room selection and the availability of single rooms elsewhere on campus. Adams explained that past room selection procedures indicate that there will be ample opportunity for Miner 4 women to choose single rooms on either the third or fifth floors of Miner, as well as in other buildings on cam pus. Also, any Miner 4 resident who wishes to choose a room in another building will have priority, within her class year, In the annual room selection lottery. All male resioonts in Barre Hall will have similar priority in the male lottery. Adams explained that the male resioonts of Barre 1 will also be given priority because they are losing the opportunity to choose singles on the third floor. All seniority accrued by residents of Miner 4 and Barre 3 will carry over to the new residence hall, Adams said. Miner 4 women also expressed concern that they and their friends will be forced to split up when they move. Adams said he ooesn·t forsee any problem in keeping groups of five or six, and possibly more, together. �PAGE TWO Vote Responsibly Politics affect every aspect of our life. Nationally, politicians create legislation that influences how we live our lives. Every law they make, change, or destroy touches us directly. ·) Abolition of public transportation, for example, would alter the lifestyles of people who don't have their own transportation--whether for economical or for practical reasons. Legislation not directly helping everyone will have future rep#rcussions for everyone. The new MX missiles will benefit a handful of businessmen, but the "peacekeepers" will cost the rest of us a great deal of money--at a time when our national debt is growing and when we are least able to afford it. Reagan expects the American people to accept federal budget cuts in social programs such as education so he can spend more money on bombs. And what do we do about it? Complain. Most Americans who voted for Reagan did not care . about the issues, just about images. One Wilkes College Trustees Scholar said she voted for Reagan because ·waiter Mondale's a wimp." Reagan's nice television appearance and good radio voice helped form his image. People voted not on the issues, but on the images. We have a responsibility to look beyond the images. The issues are important, not the images. We, as educated people, should not fall into this trap. Students, remember that when you vote for YOUR representatives on April 11.

Just as I was, you will be glued to the film from its very first scene to the last credit that rolls onto the screen. Every time I see a film or read a book based on a true story, it has a much greater impact on me. ~ is a true story about Rocky Dennis, a boy who had a disease which made his face and head grotesquely abnormal and whose mother was a member of a motorcycle gang.

He reminds us all of a 'R.ocky" we once knew who touched us in some way. Rocky has a happy, enthusiastic attitude toward life, and the audience gets caught up in this energy. He never says , "Why me?" and he never dwells on his misfor tunes. Rocky's special personality seems to shine throughout the movie. One instance of this is the way he deals with starting at a new school. He could have (Jme to a special school, but he chose not to. He uses his sense of humor to help deal with the other students. He quickly makes friends and groouates at the top of his class in two subjects. Watchi~g Rocky get his two awards and seeing his classmates afld family cheering sent shivers throughout my bocty'.

On the same token , the poll-takers voted Slocum Hall the sloppiest dorm. In defense of his dorm, one resident compl8ined, "Well, the maids could do something about it.

If Evans Third is the life of the campus, then Barre Hall is considered its mellow counterpart. Upon hearing this bit of information , Barre Hall residents Roye Abramson and his roommate Mike claimed, "We think the reason why everyone else thinks we're boring is MYSf£RY YIKES I MfAr \ A6A/N? , 015e:,u~1IN6 AlfJ'T 11"?

Roye trlied ,"Ah, you're all just jealous that we have oocent looking girls and virtual Adonises for men." Qualifying as the most studious dorm is Sterling Hall, bec6Use it is the 24-hour quiet dorm on campus. Sterling resident Thom Burkhart explained, "Most of the guys are electrical engineering majors. We do party, but when we do we don't destroy things. After all, this is where we live. Would you destroy your home?" Another all-male dorm , Denison Hall , receives the honor of the most athletic dorm. The men from Pickering Hall party, too, so much so that they won the coveted "most alcoholic dorm on campus" award. Plclcertng's partying motto is best summed up by senior Mike Kopcho: For me and for all That's our alcohol, We'll out-drink you all, At Pickering Hall! This motto certainly carries through for the boys from 391 , whose parties have earned them the right to be called Wilkes College's best party-throwing apar tment. The apartments 307 and 354 definitely give 39 1 a run for their keg. Nearing the end of the poll, we asked students what they didn't like about living here at Wilkes. Common responses include not enough school spirit and support, no privacy in dorms, overcrowded parties, Hennas, attitudes and small-mindedness. Topping the list, however, is the laclc of weekend ~tivities. T.J. Abato put it best when he said, "Trying to have a party that caters to a majority of the student population while being limited to one or two half-kegs, I feel, negates any trust in the students at all. The policy has to change in order for the students to seriously enjoy themselves." All in all , students do enjoy their college days here at Camp Wilkie. One question posed on the poll asked students which aspect of living away from home they enjoyed the most. FrEm1m , independence, and being on their own proved to be the three most popu Jar r esponses. As our poll comes to a close, please take it for what it is worth. Intentions were to encourage better attitudes in order to improve the social life here at Wilkes. Eric Clapton never was one to be intimidated. Through his music, you could always tell he was doing his own thing. Even in his early days with the Yardbtrds, when he was one of three b~ing legends fighting to play the leoos, he eventually hoo enough and set out on his own. You can't push Eric Clapton ar ound. He developed a style that people ate up. At least for a while. With his release of the classic SJowhand, Clopton slapped everyone in the face with a collection of music that has become timeless. Here's a guy who seemed like he'd never give in. After all, he probably j ust wanted to gather a faithful audience who appreciated him as he was. He could play his music and not conform to the changing world. Just give Clapton his guitar , his ever-present female bockup , a IJXXi· bassist and a decent drummer , and he'd throw to;,3ther an album that his fans would eat up. Clapton's l6St album.. .t:1oow and Cigarettes, seemed to fit that mold, but his fans didn't do much eating. In foct, the album was virtually ignored to the point where it is OON a cut - out discount album. Obviously, his fans were sick of hearing about his trouble with drugs and alcohol and expected Clopton to redeem himself with a commercially successful tune or two, something the record didn't have. What this seemed to set the stage for was a great comeback. own Wf1./ of arranging music. Clapton doesn·t seem to be as free with the guitar as he should be, with the exception of "Just Like a Prisoner," in which he plays a lead that will blow minds. The album locks a few choice leads. Collins' influence can be heard on "She's Waiting" - - - - - - - - - - with the earth-shattering by Thomas J . Monsen drums that Collins· followers so anx iously wait for. Record Review .B..ehind !.he SUD shoo Id have been that album , but it isn't. It does contain a successful single , "Forever Man ," but it seems to lock depth. Clapton has changed the sound that m~ S)owhand so successful, the sound that built him a pretty faithful fol low ing. The closest he gets to that old sound is "It All Depends." It sounds a little like "Wonderful Tonight.," which was one of the most popular songs on SJowhand It's not that an artist should not try to move on and to exper iment with new things. Clapton has always done this, ond it's almost always worked. One can't help thinking that Phi I Collins ( who proouced a 1JXX1 part of the album) hoo a lot to say about what went on the album and how it went on. Colllns, an obvious genius , has his wery of putting music tCXJ3ther ( such as putting drums up front covering most of the other instruments ,) and Clapton, through his obvious genius with the guitar, has his Collins does allow Clapton to be himself in light of the obvious <Xtiitions. The tunes Coll ins proouced are the most "Clopton-sounding" tunes on the album. "Forever Man," pr oouced by Ted Templeman and Lenny Waronker, sounds like a Santana song. Even the leoo sounds like something Carlos would have dreamed up. Templeman and Waronker ao:t a whole slew of instruments that in the end seem to enaulf Clapton. The lyr ics are vintage Clapton. He sings about the downfalls love can cause , and it's not hard to tell that he's been through the wringer a feW times. Not only are the words wor th listening to , but Clapton's voice has IJ)tten better with age. He's mellowed and sounds as if he could sing any small child to sleep with that quiet, deep voice. Clapton may not have hit it with this album, but there's no doubt that he's still around. And he still won't be intimi<mted. ---------------------------------------Tired of Paying $5.00 For Movies?

One in particular struck me as being a viable proposal. The suggestion was m~ by Neil Douris that an Intramural Council be developed. I think that suggestion could work. My ideas of what an Intramural Council should be in charge of include many things. With a council, students would be directly involved in the decision-making process. The council could be made up of a part-time director, the athletic director, a physical education instructor, five or six students and a Dean. By including students on the council, the Colleoe will be allowing for (}Jod communication between the faculty and the students. By having the athletic director on the council, students would be kept abreast of any changes on the calendar caused by the sports department. Having a Dean on the council would allow for direct contact with the 8:lministration. The council could meet once monthly for a scheduled meeting and meet whenever else it is necessary. The council should be made up of students wit.ti an interest in the program and time to devote to the program. With a council to plan activities, the College could have a variety of sources of 1deas, more organization and more manpower. The council would be responsible for designing the programs, hiring referees and individual program directors, ordering equipment, settHng problems and planning when necessary. Acouncil could set up rules and regulations and stick to them consistently. The students on the council could be paid work-study money if they are eligible, or they might donate their time. I think that individual program leaders should still be paid as well as referees. If a council were to be formed now, it could begin planning for next year. It would be able to coordinate the gym hours with the varsity sports, the community activities and the campu5 events. Dates and schedules could be printed on the calendar as well as in the Bes;;on An Intramural Council sounds like the answer to a lot of problems except one. How do we decide which students will be or tl,e council ? A possible solution to that problem is for the students to apply for the positions and to be interviewed by the College personnel. If we cooperate with one another, the council can and will be effective. Th t n onl b~nl>'it eve one involved. Women's Tennis Sweeps First Match and Russo 6-0, 6-0.

The Huskies struck back with their own power and ~ relief pitching to shut down Wilkes' chances for an opening-day victory. On Wednesday, the Colonels had their home opener in the form of a twin bill with the University of Scranton. The Colonels fell behind in the early innings 2-0 but came back quickly. Ed Domzalski and Tony Caladie homered for a 3-2 lead. These were all the runs pitcher Don Shaw wou Id need as he overpowered the Raya! batters throughout the game. The Colonels ao:1ed three insurance runs as Caladie hit his second home run of the game and third of the season for a 6-3 margin of victory. Don Shaw went the distance for his first victory of the season , striking out seven batters. In the second game, Caladie and Shaw proved to be thorns in the Royals' si~. as both played key roles in Wilkes' victory. Caladie displayed his power as he hit his fourth and fifth home runs of the season to spark the offense. Joe Folek and Dave Piavis also homered for the Colonels in their 12- IO victory. Senior co-captain Jack Delfino got the victory with help from Shaw, who got the save by pitching out of a two-man-on, no-out situation in the top of the seventh to secure the victory.

The survey was answered by I 00 students, both those actively involved and those not involved at all In 1ntramurals.. Of the 100 students surveyed, 70 percent are now or have been involoved with the intramural program. Thirty percent are not involved. Of that 30 percent , one half had program suooestions or comments. Many suooested swimming , soccer, ltierosse, gymnastics , rt4Jy, field hockey end bowling) all of which are viable ideaS. The program needs "a director that has no problems so the students involved are able to participate without problems or complaints," said an observer at an intramural program. Another suggested water polo and asked a serious question: "If the YMCA can use our gym, why can't we use their pool ?" Of those who said they have been or are involved in the intramural program, 66 feel the programs have benefited them, and 14 feel they are not or have not benefited from the programs. rorty-five of those involved said they have had or are having problems with the system or with the people running the system. The results of the ~ survey show the majority of the problems are occur ing in the floor hockey and basketball programs. Combined, 33 of the 53 complaints were about those programs. Complaints include late games, bad officiating, lack of organization, lack of enthusiasm shown by directors of the individual programs, bad scheduling, no authority figure, lock of attendance by players and officials and unpaid referees. more people to help run the make the intramural program Other complaints include programs. run more smoothly and service games which never start on One student suggested the students in the best possible time, biased referees, officials allowing a student to run the Wftf in the future. who don't know the rules, intramural program.

Dr. Umid Nejib, chairman of the engineering department, explained that the objectives of the new programs are Nto meet the technical needs of the community and the local industry by providing working professionals and full-time students the opportunity to pursue a master's degree." The master's program will have several features that are unique to Wilkes and will include fl lnw student-to-faculty ratio, a strong laboratory, hands-on experience, a required research thesis and a course in "Science, Technolo;JY, and Ethics." The "Science, Technolo;JY, and Ethics" course is intended to help to increase the awareness of engineers to the social and environmental aspects of their projects, according to Dr. Brian Redmond, assistant chairman of the Engineering Department. The research requirement will address problems of local industry and find solutions to these problems. The thesis will be presented in a open forum, and the student will have to answer questions from the department and from the audience concerning the thesis. Some of the unique features of the master's programs are the limitations being placed on the faculty. Current faculty members will supervise no more than two graduate theses per semester and are limited to teaching no more then one graduate course. This is to "prevent the migration of the fecultv to araduate courses which has a very negative impact on the quality of the undergraduate program," said Nejib. The program will benefit the undergraduate program and the· College by providing a highly competitive edge in applying for grants and in soliciting outside support. The Electrical Engineering M8Ster's program is m:cepting students for the fall semester, and the Engineering and App11ed Sciences program will start in the fall of 1986.

Communication Majors to Face Mandatory Participation by Cress Shallers Where's the Gym? Prospective freshmen and parents brave the rain to get their first look at Wilkes College as part of Sunday's annual Visi tation Day program. A plan which would require Communication majors to participate actively in all college media is being discussed. But contrary to the recent rumor, the abolition of the student publication scholarships has not been discussed. According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartclegen, "There isn't any question that the faculty of Speech/Communication/Theatre Arts has been discussing a plan to integrate the radio and TV station, Bmllo, Amnjcola, del:iate team, and possibly theatre with the Department of Communications." "We've discussed a number of options ranging from making experience part of the credit structure or saying to students that as a part of your major, you will be expected to spend time working in several areas in order to ·graduate," said Hartdagen. "The exact method I oort't know--it needs more discussion," he actied. "In none of these discussions has the poss1b11ty of abolishing the publication scholarships been entertained," said Hartdagen. "We haven't even touched that." Hartdagen aaied, "We're only at the talking and thinking stage. Any final decision will be mo with the new Communication faculty members, then reviewed by the Curriculum Committee, and ultimately by the whole faculty. Therefore, the ear11~t possible time for any action would be fall of 1986." Several student leaders agreed with the new proposal. "I 00 think that Communication majors should have to participate in Communication-related continued on p. 9 �Editorials Change Must Come to South Alrica;Apartheid is Wrong The recent violence in South Africa forces that nation's government to reevaluate apartheid.

The Military Has Plenty of Missiles,bu~ Not Enough Boots A recent washington EQS1 story reported a deficiency in the military·s stockpiles. No, there are enough missiles (although President Reagan doesn't think so) and other tools of destruct ion. The military needs boots--a lot of them. The Army, which accounts for 90 percent of the mi1itary·s shoe requirements, last year had stockpiled only 18 percent of needed rubber iovershoes, 29 percent of insulated cold-weather boots, and 83 percent of jungle combat boots, the report said. The Pentagon, in its zeal to buy triple and quadruple digit coffee pots, hammers, and toilet seats, apparently has lost sight of necessities closer to a soldier's heart--or should I say feet. Could Reagan be justified in his effort to increase defense spending? I don't think so. Reagan p1ans to spend bi11ions to replace outdated minuteman missiles wi th the MX. Why is the minuteman outdated? Because the missile . silos are stationary, making them highly vulnerable to attack. Where does Reagan want to put the MX? The new missi Jes will fill the very same minuteman silos. Sitting ducks. SG Student Calendars a Mistake Student Government recently voted to fund "Men of Wilkes· and ·women of Wilkes" calendars. They are not good ideas. From what I can understand, they will not be popular items. The maj ori ty of Wilkes students should not want to own calendars with 24 exploited men and women. Females' atti tudes · toward themselves ar e changing. Current ly, a movement opposing beauty contests and similar affairs grows in strength. No Wilkes Co11ege organization should sponsor a project that perpetuates stereotypes. Origina11y I thought the idea a good one. I quickly changed my mind. There appears to be no proper approach to such a calendar . I have seen the list of the 24 people ·voted" to be on the calendars. The 24 specimens do not represent a cross-secti on of Wilkes students. Other -problems exist with this calendar: The project's organizer has worked very hard, but is it any coincidence that she is one of the twelve females? Is it a coincidence at least two of the females worked the voting ballot box? And how can a student who transferred here in January get enough votes to place in the "top 12?" These questions only make the calendars Jess reputable. Surely Student Government can f ind better projects to fund. The military and federal budget are plagued by the same problem--poor placement of money and cuts in the wrong places. The proposed mi Ii tary budget shouJd march in step more with the rest of the economy. All government programs should carry the f~der a1 government's econom ic burden, not only the social programs. 1r1,e11n~• VOL. XXXVII No. 16 March 26, 1985 ,...

Ironically, this man that Waters moires turns out to be the cause of his destruction. A Soldier's Stool explores the barriers surrounding a black man who wants to make it in a white man's world. On a deeper . level, the movie examines the frustrations of a man who denies his origins to try to make a future for himself. Waters ooesn·t went to be a black man, yet he will never be a white man. The result is a man who ooesn·t have a true identity and who is rejected from every race. by Thomas Mon~ell I LOVE: MUSIC . LOUD, OBNOtfOUS MIJ51C 0 0 ROU<EP-! TURN lWIT STEP.£0 [X)vlN .

Monsen A piece of American history is on display at the Sordoni Art 0allery. The works of Howard Pyle, known as Nthe fether of American illustration," make up what is "a very populmPXhibit," said gall director Judith O'Toole. "It's popular with the students as well as the community," continued O'Toole, NUsually students stand by the elevator and just look in. With this exhibit they seem to be coming in to look.

Mrs. Cabot's senior . art exhibit, "Fragments," currently fills the Student Center's Art 0811ery. Exhibits are required of all senior art majors. Mrs. Cabot has been attending Wilkes part-time since 1974, two years after moving to the Wilkes-Barre area. She began her college career in 1959 when she enrolled at Wellesley College, near Boston, Massachussetts. For over a quarter century she knew she wented to be an artist. "I can't ever remember not being interested in art," she said. "In high school I took several art courses because I was very interested in it... After two years at Wellesley she left college to marry an English te!dler. Her husband's teaching career carried the Cabot family as far awrJy as Hawaii before they finally settled in the Wilkes-Barre area. Mr. Cebot chairs Wyoming Seminary's English Department. Since leaving Wellesley in 1961 , the Cabots have raised three children. One child has alreoo, graduated from Brown University. The other two are juniors, one at Boston College and the other at Wyoming Seminary. Mrs. cabot managed a few college courses while raising children and working full-time at a local greenhouse. She has taken three courses each of the last four semesters. "You make time for the things you want to do," she said. She does, however, get time off. The Cabot family spends every summer at a summer home on Martha's Vineyard, an island off the ,Massochusetts coast. Upon grMuation in May, Mrs. Cabot said she will spend the summer v!D!tioning as usual. After that -- no plans. "I can only see as far as May, .. she said.

Delaware also becamt: the home of Pyle's extensive art collection after his death in 1911. The collect ion, however, did not. alwrJys have a spot in the museum. "Some wealthy people bought the collection and didn't know what to do with it. It was literally stored-in a closet at the hotel Dupont," said Rowland Elzea, octing director of the Delaware Art Museum, in a recent lecture at Wilkes College. "Now Howard Pyle is truly at the soul of the Delaware Art Museum ," oo:1ed Elzea. Not only a talented artist, Pyle doubled as a talented writer. He published his first work in 1876 and in 1877 joined the art staff of Harper's magazine. "Magazines were the televisions of tcxlay," said Elzea. In 1885, there were only four magazines with large circulations. These sold for • around forty cents each, which was pretty expensive then. By the 1890s, at least 10,000 illustrations were produced for "over 11,000 magazines that publishers could have proctically given awrJy, they hM Howard Pyle's "The Fate of a Treasure Town: Extorting Tribute so much money," said Elzea. from the Citizens," 1905.

It's a relief to find out that although Carlos has decided to grace us with his lead vocals rather than settling for his usual part as one of the backups, he still operates his guitar and provides lims that make you close your eyes and 'Jf/'/, "Man, is that pretty." This Santana album really works. There's no reason for this album to gather dust on by Thomas J. Mansell your shel f if you've enjoyed the band's previous releases. It's nice to know that a band such as Santana, which arrived on the scene behind its lmr's incredible guitar work in the 60s , hasn't really changed all that much. This is not to Sf!'/ that the band is just taking old pieces and reworking them to sound different. Although there is an unmistakable · element in each Santana tune, each one is its own beast, highlighted by Carlos, of course, and by the ripping percussion listeners have grown accustomed to over the years.

The toiitions work , but those from the old school of basic, natural Santana music might be disturbed a bit. But as it has aIways ·been, Carlos and the band have never been shy when it came to incorporating new and "interesting" instruments into their arsenal. The first few times you hear a tune from Santana, especially some of the more obscure tracks that OJn't get radio time , you can't help but wonder what some of the instruments the band uses are.

W �PA6E NINE ' Electron Microscope Provides New Oppdrtunities by Mary Jo Golden The tnfition of a new eleotron microscope in the Wilkes BiolCXJY Department will aid both faculty and students by providing new information as well as teEK:tting valuable sic ills. The microscope, the CWIKSCAN 100 F1eld Em ission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), was oonated by Bell laboratories. Installation assistance was received from the Wilkes Electrical Technician Service. Annual maintenance will be provided by an enoowment from the Grace Kimball Memorial Fund. Engineering students· will also have the opportunity to use the SEM for technical traini:ig as well as for observation of non-biological materials. Wilkes is the only college in the area to possess an SEM microscope. The SEM is capable of magnifying specimens up to 70,000 times life s1ze, as compared to the 430-970 times magnification capability of the standard compound microscopes used by biolCXJY students. The most important distinguishing feature of the SEM is that it is able to give a three-dimensional picture of the surface structure of the specimen being looked at. This is in contrast to the Transmission Electron Microscope OEM). The TEM is only able to give a two-"dimensional view of a specimen beneath its outer surface. -Specimens for TEM must be prepared as very thin sections. SEM specimens must be small, but they oo · not have to be sectioned. These small pieces are coated with heevy metal ions, and as the electrons hit the surface, secondary electrons are bounced off which are then translated by the microscope to form a picture. Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the Department of BiolCXJY, is "optimistic about the potential this instrumentation holds for students in the department. .. Turoczi is currently learning to use the SEM and hopes to receive more training during the summer in electron microscopy techniques. This will further implement the use of the SEM in the biol(XJY department. Dr. Wilbur Hayes, professor in the department, has fi>ne post-ooctoral electron microscopy work and will also use the SEM for independent research. Once the faculty has acquired an Ed:lquate knowlea:JE! of the SEM, it will be possible to involve students more in the use of the microscope. Although definitive plans have not been mo, it is hoped that an independent research lo by Ml!'_ Ri_ldlbeUQlll• W11kes 1s the f1rst college in the area to obtain an SEM electron microscope. course allowing students to become more fem 11iar w1th the operation of the SEM can be offered in the fall of 1985. In tnfition to allowing them to see more surface detail of specimens than they have seen previously, students will receive trainig that will aid them In both graduate school and technical employment. Students in the Engineering Department will also have the opportunity to use the SEM to look at nonbiological specimens such as electron currents and silicon wafers aoo to analyze crystal morpholgy. Once the SEM is completely functional, auxlliary equipment can be used for analysis of surface metals. This implementation, called EDAX, is a computerized x-ray defraction analysis of metals. One of the ultimate (J)als for the use of the Scanning Electron Microscope is to be ab le to provide access to members of the community to enable them to bring samples and to have the samples analyzed by the faculty.

Aa:ording to M«n,r-n Principles of Athletic JcaiOilXI by Klafs and Arnheim. a strain is a stretch , teer or rip in the muscle itself or in the ooajm:ent tissue, such as the fascia (a band or sheath of connective tissue supporting or binding) or muscle terxbls. The main C8llS8 of a strain is often unknown. A number of things C8fl cause strains. Most often, a strain is produced by an abnormal muscular confrectton. One popular theory about this abnormal muscle contr~ion is that the problem lies in the reciprocal coordination of the 81J)nist and ant8(J)lltst muscles. In other words, one muscle struooles to respond to the other muscle's movement. ( The muscle won't move in a certain . Wfff.)

If these proposals become l8W, the Impact on Wilkes College and Wilkes stuoonts will be great. The proposals would affect the following programs: PELL GRANTS - No student whose family income is greater than $25,000 would qualify. Currently, 775 Wilkes stuoonts receive Pell grants. Unoor this proposal, 85 would become inellglble. CAMPUS-BASED AID ( Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, National Direct Stuoont Loans and College Work Stuct{) No student whose family income is equal to or greater than $25,000 would qualify. Currently, 780 Wilkes students receive aid from at least one of these programs. Two hundred and forty-seven students would no longer be eligible under the proposed changes. GUARANTEED STUDENT Will · Mean LOt\NS - The proposed bu(tJet would impose a financial needs test for all app11cants. Currently, only fam11tes whose income exceeds $30,000 must unoor!J) a needs test. In f011tlon, stuoonts whose family income Is eQual to or In excess of $32,500 would become ineligible, regardless of financial need. Currently, 1,156 Wilkes stuoonts benefit from the GSL program. Three hundred and eighty-five would be ellmtnated by the arbitrary income ceiling. TOTAL FEDERAL AID - A $4,000 cap on total federal aid has also been proposed. This Inch.Ides aid from 0Sl., Pell Grant, SEOO, NDSL ond College Work Stucty, Programs. Currently, 1,463 Wilkes students receive federal aid from at least one of the above prcq-ams. Of these, 484 receive more than $4,000 and would have their aid packages cut. "One of the more unfair things about the aid cuts is the arbitrary gross income ce111ng," said Rachael Lohman, director of ff nancial aid. "The family living on $32,500 is eliminated from the GSL eligib111ty regardless of family size. Ten people could be living offthat income," she said. "These cuts are scary," she continued, "but we can oo something. In 1981 similar buOJ9t cuts were proposed, and, for the most part, they were defeated. The next two or three weeks are critical because the House and Senate BuOJ9t commtttees are rece1V1ng the proposals." Lohman encourWJ05 students, parents and friends to write or call their congressmen and senators. "lndividuol and handwritten letters will probably get more attention than form letters," said Lohman. "The congressmen want to hear about your situation and the specific effects the cuts will have on you and your ram 11y." President Breiseth said, I oon't think these cuts wm ~ through; we wm end up with modest cuts that are close to a freeze of the existing aid situation." Shelly Urben, SG president, continued on p. 10 King's Cracks Down on Alcohol by Brian Potoesk.1 KINO'S COLLEGE- -A stricter alcohol policy is in the making at K1ng's College. The pollcy, 1n the words of Stuoont Government Chairman Greg Fernald, "will force a major .change In the social 11fe on campus." The proposed new pollcy came from the office of the Dean of Student Affairs. It is currently in the form of a working draft that is making the rounds among numerous boards and committees who wm have Input Into the final version. The poltcy is primarily aimed at prohibiting stuoonts under the legal age of 21 from consuming alcoho11c beverWJ05. "We never conoone violation of the law," Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Joe Cosgrove said. "If you are under 21 and drinking we wm enforce It as a violation of our policy." The poltcy wm also ban alcoholic beverWJ05 from being present at social functions on campus. This will have an Impact on campus socials. Socials are similar to Wilkes' SUB parties, except they are sponsored by the senior class or by the Student Government and are held 1n the oorms. Anywhere from 50 to 200 people attend. Presently. guests are allowed to Wilkes Students to bring either a six-pack of beer or a quart of wine to a social. After the new policy takes effect, this will no longer be permitted. The use of alcohollc beverages by students of legal age wm be allowed, but only in student rooms. The concept of a "student room;· is externB:I to include the student's oorm room and the oorm lounges. Joe McMonigle, .Freshman Class president at King's, WfJS concerned about the local press' handling of the story.

According to Shelly Urbon, SG president, "We need a 11ttle more time to discuss the proposal, but we will definitely take the steps necessary to get an activ1t1es director. "The proposal 1s bfJS8d upon a suggested $13,000 salary which wm possibly lncluoo room and board," said Urban. S6 would be responsible for funding the salary for the first year. The money would come from the annually accumulated buffer fund. Last Monday night, Breiseth assured the members of so that the general college fund would finance the pos1t1on after the first year. "To put in a new position, you must take out an old one, and I'm reluctant to oo that. It's easier to · maintain a position than to start one," Breiseth said. Urban said that the new d1rector would work exclus1vely with student 181dtrs and be concerned mainly with student ~t1v1t1es. "Although the spec1fic job description hfJS not been written , students wm be involved in the entire hiring process," said Urban. Breiseth said that the college wm "be looking inside and outside to hire, but with the lower salary level,· it probably should be somoone new, someone young." Urban agreed. "We're looking for someone who 1s not too far out of college- approximately 25 years old," she said. Although the presioont completely supports the idea of getting a student activities director , he expressed some concern about student attitudes. 'Tm totally unsympathetic to the word 'boreoom'. With all the intelligent, excit1ng people on th1s campus it shouldn't be too difficult to avoid boreoom," he said. �PAGE TWO Editorial party with beer after they someone Sf}{ing in the paper that Security Responds alreEKty paid. This was oone. security did not oo their jobs. To the editor: Beacon Proposes Alcohol Solution We may have a solution to the campus alcohol problem. Our proposal may satisfy students, faculty, and administrators. An alteration of the present alcohol policy wrn not work. Further restrictions will cause students to protest for what they once had, and memories of the way it used to be will die hard. Conversely, Pennsylvania law prevents any liberalization of the policy. The College feels pressure from Pennsylvania law enforcement officials. So, what do we do? We must look for new ideas. New ideas can be found by looking at other colleges. Colleges handle alcohol differently. King's, for example, wants to disallow on-campus alcohol privileges to under-aged students. But we feel the Universi t y of Scranton is taking an even more positive approach to the problem. Scranton's approach involves an on-campus pub. The University has applied for a retail liquor license to open what they call an "on-campus private club." Only alumni, faculty, administrators, and students of legal age may apply for club membership. We think this a viable solution to our problem as well. The College already owns an ideal location for a pub. The Cellar is equipped with an appropriate tap system which has not been used since the LCB warned the College several years ago that its use would blatantly disregard Pennsylvania law. What we propose is well within the laws of this state. Membership and threat of revocation would ensure respect both for the law and for the facility. Revenue generated would help maintain the Student Center and, depending on profits, provide money for improvements. We realize a pub would exclude many Wilkes students, but we can no longer expect the school to take responsibility for illegal, underage drinking. An on-campus pub would not only enhance social life but would also provi de a safe, legal atmosphere for st udents to interact with other members of the College community. While i t is unreasonable t o expect the College to assume li abili ty f or ill egal, on-campus acti vity, it is reasonable to expect support f or alternat ive proposal s such as t his one. We write this letter in response to an article in the February 26th issue of the .B.fBm concerning the Student C'alter Board ( SCB) party of February 22, 1985. In that article the Social Director of the SCB stated that "there were five security guards on duty that night and none of them SflN or heard anything in the men·s room ." First of all, there is only one security guard stationed in front • of the bathroom area, so it takes common sense to realize that the security guard working neer the i:Blce floor will not see or hear anything coming from the men·s room. Secondly, there were approximately 40 people hanging around outside the bathroom area. Again, it only takes a little common sense to realize that the security guard outside the bathrooms will be concerned with these 40 people, and that the noise generated by these 40 people is more than enough to drown out any noise coming from behind the closed ooors of a bathroom. Sure, the security guard must check the bathroom periodically. This was done numerous times throughout the night. Unfortunately, the damage to the bathroom took place between bathroom checks by a security guard. We wish could be f!Nerywhere at once like some people want, but unfortuMtely we cannot. Also, the number of people attending the party -was 450 people. With five security guards that means that eoch guard must watch 90 people, many of them drunk. It is not our f8Ult that there is not a limit on the number of people allowed to enter the SUB. The Social Director went on to Sf}{: "People were walking outside with beer, which is against our policy." Well, if it is against policy then why were SCB members walking around outside with beer? Security did their jobs and told these people to either go inside and drink , or le6Ve. If SCB members break the rules , then you can be sure that others will break the rules. Also , it is secur ity's job to stop people from entering the However , an SCB member waved some of her friends past security, Sf}{ing it .was OK. There was another incident last semester when people entered a SUB party through the basement cmr, which is against SCB policies. When a security guard stopped them, an SCB member approoched him and told him to let them go by. It seems to us that we need consistency in the actions and words of some SCB members. Maybe that is where the cause of the problem lies. Fina11y, we would like to tdiress the fights at the recent SCB party. The article made it seem like . security did nothing. We11, we have news for the contributors .to that article. Security members exposed themselves to possible physical harm and verbal abuse in breaking up the fights, and for what? No thank-you's, just Thls is what makes our jobs so frustrating. Yes, security does oo their job. The five security guards working the night of February 22 , 1985 should be commended for having the courage to stand up to a huge crowd. It is just too bad that some people are blind to our actions and put the blame solely on the security team.

Sure, there are f~ulty members with impressive intramural titles, but m:cording to Jeff Weinstein; "They don't really have a grip on the situation." Why is it so difficult to use the gym of the Institution I am attending? Why does the YMCA s~ly have priority of the gym on Sundays? What happened to the Intramural pr[XJram on Sundays? As Jeff Weinstein put it, "I can't get a straight answer from anyone." Weinstein was told In December that after break he would have the gym on Sundays from one to ftve and Tuesdays from nine to 12 In order to run the intramural floor hockey . league. Obviously, Jeff should have (J)tten this in writing, because this agreement by mouth seems to have slipped someone's mind. When the students returned from Christmas oreaK, ~hes ( wrestling and softball) decided that Sunday was an excellent time to hold and schedllle pr~tices. For two of the three weeks that the students were 1>8::k and the league was in m:tton, the gym was occupied at 1:00 by intercollegiate teams. One .team even contined to prm:Uce until 3:00. Guilty of this offense is our own athletic director, who happens to be the c:om:h of the wrestling team. Should our intramural director step in at this point? I meon, wh8t intramural student is ~ing to ask a wrestler to clear the floor? As 1f that weren't enough, Weinstein was then asked to have his floor hockey games completed by 6:00 so the softball team could begin its prm:t1ce. Finally, after unnecessary effort by commissioner Weinstein, prm:tlces were "officially forbidden." You would think that the most successful intramural event could get bm:k on schedule. Wrong! It seems we owe the YMCA a favor. Weinstein has once again been told he must ~r1flce his Sundays and bow to the YMCA wrestl1ng meets. It seems that the YMCA needed a few days to run a YMCA sponsored pee-wee wrestl1ng tournament. Why must this be done on theweekend? Doesanyoneknow the- term "spring break?" According to one of the Deans, "It seems that a few years 8'J> the YMCA helped out Wilkes College, and now they need a favor in return." sounds to me like the famous political expression, "If you scratch my bm:k, I'll scratch yours." In any event, whether the tournament is on Saturd6y or Sundfl'/, valuable gym time is being given f1Ntl,/, thus hurting both the tuition pfl,/lng students and the intramural leagues. The hockey league is alreooy, two d6ys behind schedule. Which means that. if everything goes ll:eording to·pIan (?), the league won't end until April 30. Would you want to have a hockey game at 11 :00 only two d6ys before classes end and exams begin? Where is the Intramural help? Who wants to step in and take control of this mess? I think my point is coming ~ross so I won't even mention. all the problems with the taping of slicks, wooden sticks in particular, because the sticks ruin the floor. Ironically, the gym floor is scheduled to be oompletely redone this summer. Where is the lCXJ1c? Wtr./ · can't the intramural director work with Jeff Weinstein Instead of giving him one dead end after onother. It seems people are looking the other Wfl'/. Jeff can't shout much louder. "Floor hockey is, by far, the most successful 1ntr81Tlural sport Wilkes College has to offer" Stl{S intramural director Bart Bellalrs. Just think what this 186glle could become with a little help from the oom1n1strat1on and the intramural director, and a lot less red t8J)8. Mtl,/be there could be some sincerity in Bellnirs' quote. · Mark Tobino SG Vice-President Calls for Solution To the editor: I am writing to you in response to the editoral published in the -6..ewm of Feb. 26th.

You have come across very strong on these issues and r ightfully so; what I wish to point out is you oo not offer any solutions. It is e.asy to admit the problem and it would even be easier to make Wilkes dry , but that is not the Wfl'/ to solve a problem . We must look for a solution we can live and learn by. We know the problem so let's look for a solution that will benefit the whole campus. The alcohol policy was changed in the hope of solving the alcohol . related problems and I'm sure it has to an extent , but let's look at the problem directly. The problem is not in the existing policy, it is the individual dri nkers that cause the problems. There are many responsible drinkers on campus and it is only about 101 of the college that can't handle it. I must point nor does it solve the problem. out that all people can make It only hurts the innocent mistak(!S under the influence of majority and sends the problem alcohol, it is ~ to have your elsewhere. judgement altered. · Mfl'/be Security was l~king I know this for a f~t in enthusiasm due to the lm:k of a because I myself have made Pfl'/ but it was drunk students mistakes under the influence, who caused the damage not the mistakes I would never make Student Center Security. again because I have learned the It is about time we look for effects of alcohol and have real solutions for the drinking learned some very costly problem on cam pus before our lessons, not to mention the privileges are totally taken embarassment that comes with f1Ntl{. il . The point is , pinpoint the problem drinkers and tem:h them the proper and mature Wf!'{ to handle alcohol. We have h€K1 Alcohol Awareness Week and unfortunately it h€K1 poor attendance. Something like that takes time and a lot of hard work and it can't be oone all the time. But why can't we use all our available resources, like the school newspaper and take a stand and print some factual information on alcohol and let the students see it in bl~k and white. It is wrong to push the blame on the Student Center Security and to close the Stuoont Center for Friday night SUB parties. That is not an answer Student 0overnment offered you Alcohol Awareness week. What about the other organizations? Take a stand and get into ~tion. The -6..ewm is one of the most effective forms of communication on campus, so I ask the Bm:m, the other organizations, and students to stop complaining about the drink ing problems and the alcohol policy and take ~tion. Together we can find a solution. Ian W.

The Breakfast Club is Sure to Satisfy Your Appetite byAnn Devlin Five high-school students spend a Saturdsy in the library serving detention. Sounds like fun, ooesn't it? Actually, it proves to be very entertaining. I.be Breakfast Clull is an ironic comoo, about five distinctly different teenagers getting to know themselves by m 1tttng their faults and revealing their follies. Writer and director John Hughes ooes a gxxi job with a setting limited to virtually one room and to a time frame of one day. The char~ters make the movie. Their ~tions and reactions are crisp, humorous and we11 paced. Society seems to cate,;prize the students into stereotypes. Brian Johnson (Anthony Michael Hall) is the brain ; Claire Standish ( Molly Ringwald) is a prissy socialite; Andrew Clark ( Em i1 io Estevez) is the jock ; Allison Reynolds (Ally ShEm() is the misfit; and John Bender (Jt.01 Nelson) is a pot-heM. The narrow minded, inflexible disciplinarian ( Paul Gleason) assigns~ student to write a thousand word essay entitled "Who am I?" Whiie the teenagers scoff at this introspection as senseless punishment, they oo, ironically, discover who they really are. The students find they are re6lly not thlrt different from each other, but are rather individuals sharing m8rly of the same qualities. They all suffer from peer pressure, lack of parental understanding and society's unrealistic expectations. Some of the teenagers' honest missions are painful. Bender displays a cigar burn on his arm from his fether, who punished him for spilling paint. Allison tricks Claire into milting she's a virgin , and Allison herself admits she has a problem with lying. · Some of the revelations are funny. Bri8rl , the brain, was found with a gun in his locker. ( This is the reason he is serving a Saturdsy detention.) He admits he couldn't take getting an "f" in shop and considered putting an end to his life- -with a flare gun. Bender , the pot-heM, is pl~ in solitary confinement after harassing both his companions and the teacher. As he attempts to rejoin his peersin the library by stealthily crawling through a passage above the room, the ceiling gives Wflf. Bender ends up dropping in sooner th8n expected. The other students 1(1fally rover for him as he hides under a desk when the dull-witted teacher comes in to check the disturbance. The only other edult in the building is the janitor , ear l (John Kepelos). earl, seemingly un1nte11ectual , points out that the teacher is lacking a clear perspective on his own life. ~ Breakfast Club., although it is mainly about teenagers, is also inten<Ed .for mils. It brings out · the universal problems almost all of us experience as teenagers, as well as the problems of being a parent or teacher. Although the soul-searching may be . a bit exaggerated and unusually ·deep for teenagers to share, the teenagers' problems aren't unusual. In the end they are ab le· to understand more about each other and about themselves.

Bands like Duran Duran and Culture Club oon·t pl8Y rock and roll, they ploy space music-music that has forgnten its roots, music whose roots have rotted trNoy. This isn't to SB-/ that there isn't any merit to this music. It serves a purpose. It entertains children and keeps ooults.,. who like it feeling young. But for the rabid rock and roll fan, this music "j ust oon·t cut it... Jimmy Page has rescued us. He's dusted off the old twelve- str ing guitar from his fi nger-bleeding days in led Zeppelin, grabbed some other w E F EO KR E E NC I ' ! DA s T rock relics like former BIi:! Company vocalist Paul Rogers and Manfred Mann's ex-drummer Chris S111:le, ~ bassist Tony Franklin ( whose wll:ked-out haircut ooesn·t seem to fit Page's image), and put together both The firm and an Blbum trnrt really smokes. The first thing you hear when your stylus hits the vinyl is that familiar Page sound. His guitar sounds as if it's throwing up after a long ni~t of partying. · ~Y frie nd Pat :VValsh S8YS ~age is so ~loppy hes perfect. It s_a ~tiful sound to- he8r agem finally. Page hasn·t treated us to his guitar magic since he burned up the commercially unsuccessful .Dm1h Wish I.wg soundtrack in 1982. Except for the Ronnie Lane concert , the legendary Page has been keeping out of sight and sound. If you reed or talk to anyone who knows rock and roll, what you usually hear is that Page can't cb it anymore, that his tear-ass dsys with Led Zeppelin drained all the life frorn his fingers. Listen to The Firm's flrst effort and all you·ve been told or have reed will g:.i flying right out the window. Jimmy Page can still fly on the guitar, so much so that if you close your eyes while listening to him, you expect to hear Robert Plent come screaming in with some gut-wrenching vocals. Although Page is the highlight of this album , he is not the only one who deserves praise. Rogers has never sounded better , especially in some of the slower tunes on the record. S111:le's drums are earth-shatter ing and provide a good setup for Page's leads and Roger's vocals. The bass lines Aries ( March 21-April 19) Great weekend coming up.

Salary arbJtration is the prooess free lWJ8fltS use to settle on a salary with club owners. This year the owners won seven of 13 arbitration cases. This year, the aver8(13 salary has risen to $329,408. At leost players wm make $ 1 m111ion or' more in 1985, comparoo wtth 22 tn 1984.

Not only have salaries \J>l'l8 through the roof, but clubs can't just sign a player to a certain salary. They have to sweeten the agreement with bonuses or with incentive clauses. Some free agents planned their salaries so that salaries would be biooer and better starting with the 1986 season. These players fear a strike will interrupt the 1985 season, and they oon't want to lose the big salaries they wm receive. Thanks to arbitration, which estab11shes a player's salary for one season, some players won't' need a bonus to become m111ionaires. Now all it takes is ot leost two years in the majors, some great-looking statistics and 1nflat1on. Do our protess1ona1 atnletes reolly perform well enough or oo enough to be m111ionaires? Admittooly, not all players are m1111onaires. If things keep ~ing as they are, players wm be millionaires soon. It's time restrictions were put on professional athlete's salaries.

Nop says his country, which is primarily an agricultural country, "is very beautiful." BeaRJse the climDte is tropical, fruit is abundant throughout the year. There ere only three S88SOOS in Thailand. Summers are usually quite wtrm, with the average temperature usually between 80 and 90 der,J'ees. The summers m-e less humid than summers on the East Coast. There is also a ratny season that J. D D is essential for the procllction of the rice crop. Finally, there is "winter," 'during which temperatures range from 60 to 75 degrees. Nop found out about Wilkes Collage through an organization in Thailand which Hsts all American colleges and universities. Nop was originally an 81Ticultura1 economics major at Kasetsart University in Thailand, but he wanted to tr811Sfer to the business school at Kasetsart. He spent three months at the American L8ngtJ8ge Aar:lemy impr<Wing his English and ame to Wilkes when he was 8:CePted. One reeson for Nop's choice of Wilkes was that Wilkes is DD relatively close to Washington, D.C., where his cousin is stoo,,ing for her master's degree in computer science. Nop's mother and father left the decision up to him. His 16-yeer-old brother "thinks it's gre6t" and wants to follow in Nop's footsteps. According to Nop, Thet families are closer than American fami1ias, and it's not unu3t.Hll for many generations of the same family to live in the same area. Nop said he felt "sorry for the older people here at ftrsr because they were all alone, but he realizes that it is just another aspect of our culture that he will eventually get used to. Nop also feels that Americans are independent people and are "less friendly and less compassionate than people in Thailand." For example, Americans believe strongly in their rights. . If Americans were to quarrel, they would feel strongly about their position and wouldn't are about the other person's feelings as much. In Thailand, people would be more understanding and forgiving. Nop feels a Thal obligation to ignore his rights and to be nice to people in a similar situation. It is tMs mpect of Trnii culture ttm giv~ Thailand the nickname "the land of smiles." Deting fn Theiland is much the same as in the United States. Customs allow yoong people more time to get to know one another before they get marrim. At that point, the boy's parents must ask the girl's parents. The drinking age in Thailand ls 19. A1th0lql Americans are not allowed into clubs without I.D., young citizens of Thailand are a11owed in but cannot buy alcohol. Nop also noticed that there ere a lot more warnings about drinking and driving in the United States. The traveling Nop has mne during his eight months here wm always stick in his mind. So far he has seen Washington, D.C., Niagra Fans, Buffalo, N.Y. and New York City.

Indiana Jones Turns Detective Witness More ·rhan a Run-of-the-Mill Murder Mystery by Ann DeYJtn Imagine living in 18th century conditions, with no electricity and no TV, and rmnbltng 81ong in a hcne-crawn carriage among tractor tra1 lers on a busy suburban highway. This is the setting of Witness, which takes place mostly in the Pennsylvania Amish countryside. But Wito,ss ts more than SI explormion of Amish culture. It is also a wen-J)ll:Sd, suspensefu1 detective story, a touching romance, and one of the most enterteini and exciti films r; I've ever seen. The film's combination of genres is more interestlnQ because of the clash between the 20th century lifestyle and the strict, plain Amish W8Y of life. A young wioowm Amish woman, Rfdlel Lapp (Kelly McOntis) and her young son Samuel ( Lukas Haas) take an infrequent trip to the city. Samuel accfclently witnesses a brutal murder in the restroom of a Phi1Ellelphiatrain station. Detective John Book ( Harrison Ford) is then called in to investigate the murder. uel discover their lives are in danger as they suspect that someone in the police force is responsible for the crug-related killtng. As Book tries to protect the lives of the Amish ha,, and mother, he is crawn into the Amish Wfll/ of life and grDlally fans in love w1th Rachel. The conflict of cultures is an inevitable obsts:le in the romance between the tough, sometimes violent, city-bred cop and the gentle, ~ loving Amish wioow. Book, Rm:hel and Samuel must come to terms with their feeltngs for em:h other In a strict reli ious world w Their physical worlds real 20th century strangers mn·t aren't that fer apart.

According to Barbara King, -foreign student adviser , the Malaysian government spent a great deal of time investigating schools with exceilent engineering credentials before deciding that Wilkes met all the criteria. The size of the school was important in the decision to choose Wilkes because the Malaysian officials wanted the students to have cecess to faculty and counselors. They were "very impressed" with the Engineering Department, with its faculty and with its curriculum . A major point in the selection was the fact that the engineering program is accredited by the American Board of Engineering and Technology. All educational expenses incurred by the new students will be paid by the Malaysian government. Malaysia covers the southern half of the Malysian Peninsula, the island of Singapore and most of the northern part of the island of Borneo. The South China Sea separates the island and the peninsula by 400 miles. King also said that Wilkes has students from several other countries, including Switzer land, Japan, Lebanon, Taiwan, India, Syria, Pakistan and Jordan. �PAGE 1WO Editorial Reaganomics Hits an All-Time Low The hi gh priest looks in awe at the symbol of hi s god. Worshippers file in anticipating a humbling ceremony celebrating their creator. They worship the governor of life. They worship what made them what they are--masked, mutant, descendants of the human race. They worship the BOMB. The scene is from a "Planet of the Apes" movie, but the characters could be in our future. Ronald Reagan, America's favorite actor, could play the part of the priest. The other survivors, . who happen to be nis closest friends and advisers before Armageddon, join him in bomb worship. Those who live by the bomb sha11 eventually die by the bomb. There is no compromise. The vision motivating Reagan's new budget proposal lacks depth and breadth. The President, erroneously believing he has a mandate, wants to cut domestic programs drastica11y and increase defense spending. As Sunday·s Philadelphia loguirer put it: "The President proposes to starve programs that help people in order to fatten programs that ki11 people." The problem is more serious yet. Adding to a stockpile that can already destroy the world a hundred times over is not only redundant, but expensive. To foot the bi11, Reagan plans to cut student loan programs, Urban Development Action Grants, the f edera1 job training program, and f edera1 aid to state and 1oca1 governments. Yes, this is the same man the majority of Americans voted into office, the same man the majority of c911ege students voted for, and the same man who believes he can do as he pleases because 6f his November victory. Now he stabs us (you) in the back. As many as one mi11ion students may be affected by the loan cuts. Many students here need loans to pay for co11ege. Those students not able to afford Wilkes next year can thank Reagan. Reagan is selling out the people who supported h1m in November--in the name of deficit reduction. A Reagan deficit reduction we will never see, just more bombs. If we cannot reverse Reagan's direction, the future looks bleak.

We consider The Cellar to be a place for commuter students to relax--they have virtually no other place to go. To this effect, the SCB diligently tries to keep The Cellar reasonably clean and civilized , but the 'Spitters' make civilization for The Cellar an impossiblity. One might ask why? First of all , they amuse themselves by drawing huge phallic symbols on the tables. They are apparently oblivious to the fact that" women often clean the tables. The drawings happen to be difficult to remove when drawn in ink. Secondly, the Spitters never know when or how things get vandalized, yet the area where they congregate is usually the most abused. For instance, french fries get carefully stuffed Cellar workers are fed up with messes such as the one above. in the rooiator vents and ketchup splattered on the walls, chairs, tables, and floor.

This is not to mention the spit sometimes dripping from the walls. We will not describe the nausea these sights and smells induce. One might also ask if we've communicated with them in the past concerning these issues? Our initial response was making signs saying, "Please keep The lntramurals on intramural teams!!! What upset me the most was the organization!! The games were scheduled to start at I 0:00 p.m., no one even showed to set things up until 10:30 and the games did not start until 11 :00!!

Then we got more specific: "If you spit, please clean it up!" Their response was spitting on the signs. Secondly, we tried asking them to clean up the mess themselves ( This was before they used cups--they spit directly on· the floor). Their response was throwing a mop at the member who ventured to ask. Thirdly, we he(! Dean Hoover ( our ooviser) "speak" to them - - to no avai 1.

In order to make the bttsement a more pleasant place to relax, we devoted an entire weekend ( 18 hour days) and over $1,500 to painting The Cellar. Furthermore, we hired an alumnus, Donna Mazaika, to oo graphic designs in oo:lition to our paint job. Finally, we clean many times a day in order to keep The Cellar tolerable if not pleasant. So when our friends the Spitters spit on the walls we painted, and the tables we wash, we think we have cause to be annoyed. Let the Spitters be forewarned that the SCB Cellar Rats won't tolerate their behavior any longer--they will be removed for the remainder of the semester if it persists.

Just as I was beginning to give up most of my faith in people's !J100 natures, a unique collection of individuals stepped into my life in the form of an internship. To fulfill my requirements for graduation as a communications major, I was required to take an internship with an established business in my "field of interest." I chose anewspapercalled the S.!HlCiri Dispatch (True, it's not mentioned in the same... breath with the New Yock .linlei) Or , I should Sf!t./ , I think someone up there chose the Dispatch for me. Not just for the proctical experience, but for the inval uable breaths of fresh air I've swallowed every time I'm around the people who make up the paper.

I owe a lot of the restoration of my faith to E~ie Ackerman, who, t1:COrding to my friends Kathy Hyde, Timmy Williams, myself and probably everyone whom Ed has come in contoct with, is "the most genuinely nice person whom you could ever pray to meet." I've known Ed for about a year. I had the pleasure to be around for his debut as a teocher here at Wilkes. He was great, but he'Jl be the first to disagree. He ooesn·t think he has what it takes to be a teacher. He wants each and everv student to get a 4.0. His faith in people is infectious.

If not for a Monday off on Washington's birthday, how about for Valentine's Day? Ah ... Valentine's Oft./. The day we traditionally send our sweethearts or intended sweethearts candy, flowers and love notes. It's a day most of us welcome, yet a day few of us know much about. The origin of Valentine's Day dates back to the 13th century. It is named for St. Valentine, an early Christian martyr regarded . as the patron saint of lovers. St. Valentine was behe&'.ted because he loved a gir 1 who was the daughter of a bigot and refused to CEnounce his love for her. There are several theories as to how the romanticism of Valentine's Day began. One of these theories relates the choice of February 14 to the medieval European belief that birds begin to mate on this date. This notion suggested that lovers shou Id exchange gifts on the 14th. Once the custom was established, "Valentine" came to be applied to both the persons and their tokens of affection. The religious significance of this day is now overshaoowed by the non-religious customs associated with it. These customs seem to suit our needs perfectly. "Valenttne·s 0&1 1s another example of popular society twisting the real meaning behind a legitimate holiday to satisfy its own .immature and materialistic whims," one anonymous senior said Va1ent·me·s ~ Day however. allow people to IA}t;;)• express deep and sincere feelings toward others without being regarded as hopeless romantics. "Valentine's Oflo/ is a day when you should extend yourself that much further to let friends and loved ones know how much you care," senior Eric Reno said.

It is an ooor to which some freshmen will become accustomed. Allt1uugt1 you try to esq:ipe from the smell, curiosity causes you to glance quickly into the labs as you pass by.

The ooor is that of tissue preservative, and the students are freshmen biology majors who are dissecting fetal pigs as part of their laboratory exercises. Dissections are an essential part of a biolo;iy major's education. Since biology is considered to be the stuct{ of life, it is only fitting that students stuct{ animals to get a better by Robert J. Boyle It wouldn't be true to S8Y that all the scientific research and experimentation involving living creatures is without worth, but it can be said that a great deal of it is nothing more than the senseless and unethical wasting of precious animal lives. Critics of the latter statement are quick to point out that tremendous medical knowledge and improved lifesaving techniques have been derived from these experiments, and I agree. But this is not where I see the injustice. Other topics discussed may include the bOctf's response to varying external factors of the effects of disease. Occasionally, an animal is socrificed in order to demonstrate a principle that cannot be seen in a preserved specimen. In all cases, the procedure is oone humanely so that the animal ooes not suffer unnecessarily. Seeing the actual Opinion Con unproductive experiments as having a purpose. After a 20-minute interview with a respected member of the Wilkes College biology department, I came away with three reasons for this type of experimentation. First, the professor explained, "It is important the student understand thot by direct experimentation he can be positively sure his results are "In fact, the student could certainly learn more from examining a living frog.than from ending Its life." What I question is the use of laboratory animals in basic and introductory science courses. I believe this is unnecessary torture and slaughter and should be stopped. However, it would appear that the academic community disagrees with this tmeSSment end recognizes these factual. " Second, the professor stated, "The use of laboretory animals becomes necessary because there are no alternative methods to illustrate various biological laws." Third, he felt that these experiments make ' science instructing students. Processes that are necessary for even a basic understending of the healthy functioning of an or-ganism often cannot be demonstrated in specimens such as plants or bacteria. Plants are also living organisms but no one seems to be in a hurry to organize an S.P.C.P. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Plants). Granted, plants do not have as well-developed nervous systems as vertebrates do, but ,..-- should the animal be before it should not be used for educational purposes? Obviously, for a freshman lab , humans are too far along the phylO]enetic scale, but the fetal pig is adequate for a demonstration of mammal ian systems. As the freshmen biology majors work to learn as much as they can about the animal in front of them, they begin to ignore the smell of preservative. The connections between the the health sciences will benefit "Occasionally an animal is sacrificed in from labs dealing with animals.

The difficulty comes and some are unaware of the purposes. It is, however, in determining where to draw benefits that can arise from this probably the best means of ~ the line. How highly developed learning experience. 1 courses more interesting and intellectually stimulating. The first point, which if!!plies that a student can only learn through direct experimentation, is simply a matter of opinion. I cannot see why a biology instructor teaching an introductory science course could not ask the students to accept the results of experiments conducted many times before. After all, what is at stake here is the life of a living creature. These introductory college courses are usually taken to fulfill the core requirement for graduation. Students taking these courses will probably not pursue science as a major course of stuct{. If they do, perhaps it might be a (_Jxxj idea to restrain from slaughtering defenseless ,animals until the student decides to take more advanced courses and pursue biology or medicine as a career.

Well, we finally 9'.)t what we·ve been praying, pl1lading and waiting for--snow. (Some of you might have been dreading it.) The skier s, as well as the ski resort and ski shop owners, are in seventh heaven. The winter season is finally in full gear , and I am one person who 1s 9'.)ing to enjoy it to the fullest. Right about now is when everyone (well, SI most everyone) notices that he has put on five or 1O pounds. Whether it came from eating too many Christmas cookies , as it did for someone I know , or just from too much lying around the house , we all can pinch that little inch. As last week's editorial pointed out , Wilkes has no activities director , so it's up to us to plan activities to lose those extra pounds. So what's the solution to getting r id of that little inch? How about an after noon of oownhill skiing or an evening of twilight sk iing? You may say , "I oon't know how to ski" or "I oon't like to ski." Well, how about taking a lesson? Lessons are alreMy included in most of the SCB ski trips to Elk Mountain as well as in Mrs. Meyers' P.E. ski class on Thursday afternoons. Or maybe you'd prefer to try cross-country skiing. Kirby Park Is a perfect place. Okay, so skiing isn't your bag. What about traying? You know, that nice little life-endangering sport. This sport ooesn·t cost you anything but a little pain. You simply find yourself a tray ( BORROW one from th~ cafe, but remember what the word BORROW means) and a snowy river dike and bombs away, literally. Traying can be great fun as long as you oon't mind the soreness you have the next morning. If you oo mind, what about ice skating? You can rent skates and skate at the Wil kes-Bar re lce-Arama. If you have your own skates and if the pond in Kirby Park is frozen , you're all set. How about playing football in the snow or snow frisbee football , having a snowball fight to the death or joining a Winter · Weekend team and working off those pounds in one weekend of tor tur e? If you oon't like the cold , you can still enjoy winter and work off those extra pounds. Intramural floor hockey, basketball and volleyball are all ~ideas. So you oon't feel like physical exercise. Well, there is hope for you. You are actually burning calories right now reading the Reacon. Maybe you went to the Valent1ne·s Dance. Well, you burned up some of those unwanted calories dancing. If you went to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters Talent Show, you not only supported a great organization , you also clapped your way to better health . Don't let winter slip by without trying some activity. It isn't healthy for us to keep those extra pounds. Healthy, hel 1. Just think how much complaini ng you are 9'.)ing to oo when shorts weather rolls around. I can hear you saying, "I wish it were winter so I could wear pants; then no one would see my fat thighs and huge hips." I'll bet you S8f it some time this semester. I wili ! -. Do Schools With Winning Teams Actually Have Sports in Brief February 12 , Increased Enrollment? ·- (CPS)- - Winning ath letic teams ar e twice as likely to attract high school students to a college as deter them, but most students say winning teams are not a factor in choosing colleges , a recent survey suggests. Fifty-four percent of college-bound high school seniors interviewed by the Jan Krukowski Associates marketing firm said that 1f all other facotrs were equal, a school's emphasis on supporting nationally-ranked athletic teams would have no bearing on students' college choice. But among those who cared, 32 percent said they would be more likely to enroll at such a school, while 13 percent were less likely. The survey suggests that academically prestigious schools who hope sports success· will attract a pool of brighter applicants are engaging in wishful thinking. Survey director Leslie Weber found the higher a student's score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test, the less likely a winning team would be an attraction to the student. About 58 percent of those with SA.T scores higher than 650 said winning teams are not a factor for them . Parents are the least likely to be impressed by athletic success. About 63 percent said it makes no difference. W.

The Colonels dropped two of the last three games. Their overall record has dropped to 13-9 and is 9-6 in the MAC Northeast. "We had poor shot selection; we were out of rhythm . We lacked press inside at crucial times in that when Scranton missed a shot they'd get a second shot. We should be on the rebound," Bellairs said. "We lost our composure," Bellairs a,jjed_ Freshman Marc Oraves hoo 12 points in the first half but was shut oown by the Scranton defense in the second half.

Eric Jacobs and Dave Zapatocky combined for 30 points in the Colonel's first game against Drew University. Wilkes won 80-54. The Colonels led at halftime by 10 points but were outscored in the final three minutes.

The Colonels went 24 of 26 from the free throw line but only managed 44 shots from the floor. Wilkes plays host to non-conference Philadelphia Pharmacy tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. to finish up its home season. Freshman Marc Graves sunk a jumpshot for two points in Wilkes' losing effort against Scranton,69-53.

Charlene Hurst Needs 85 Points to Break All-Time Scoring Re~ord by Mauri Lawler The Wilkes College women's basketball team snapped a six-game losing streak, and scoring stand-out Charlene Hurst closed out her ho~e college basketball career m style as the Lady Colonels defeated Muhlenberg College 91-73. Hurst led all scorers with 30 points. Teammates Michelle Zawoiski and Diana Smith a,jjed 19 and 18 points respectively. Hurst, who is 85 points 8Wft./ from breaking the school's all-time scoring record, has three games in which to pass the 1,6 71 point total.

XXXVI I. Wi Jkes CoJJege WiJkes-Barre. PA 18766 February 5, 1985 CC Changes Ifs Parking Policy by Kathy Hyde It may be easier for a commuter to fi nd a parking space on campus this semester. Then again , it may not be. "We thought it was time to experiment with the parlc.ing system ,.. said Commuter Council ( CC) president Brian P~oeski. According to Potoeski, CC received many complaints about the old system. Former ly, if a student qualified for a parking perm it , he was given access to one of 80 spaces available to commuter students. Cars parked in a commuter lot without a perm it were ticketed. Since commuters make up roughly half of the student population , 80 spaces were inadequate. "Last semester we had a lot of complaints from people·who didn't get permits," said Potoeski. "They would drive by the lots and see empty spaces but still couldn't park there... CC decided to run the system Ready, Set, Blow!! on a fi rst-come , first-par!< basis. This semester all students who app 1ied for permits got them. "Right now it's a free-for-all ," said Potoeski. "Initially, everyone thought it would be utter chaos, but so far it seems to be working pretty well ." Commuter spaces are available in three locations: the lot directly across from the gym where Gore Hall was located, the lot behind Bedford Hall, and the lot beside Pickering Hall, which is used jointly by Wilkes and Temple Israel. A limited number of permits were given out for the Bedford and Temple lots , and the remaining students were issued permits for the Gore lot. Approximately 157 permits were issued.. Senior Chris Sailus, who commutes from Wyoming, said Gore parking lot with three empty spaces at prime time. 'the new system has good and bad p01nts. "I t all depends on when you get here. If you're not here by 9: 15 or 9:30, you can just about forget it," Sailus said. The system is experimental for this semester. "We might keep it or we might try something totally new in the future," said Potoeski. "But right now , the lots are getting more use than they ever did,tmd that's a good sign." 1985 - 86 Scholarship Opportunities Available at Financial Aid Office The Financial Aid Office announces the followin0 scholarship opportunities for the 1985-86 academ ic year: Several students volunteered to take a breathalyzer test as part of a demonstration during Alcohol Awareness Week .

Students reminiscing about the weekend struggle to reca ll memorable experiences. They struggle because most didn't do anything memorable. Yes, a few saw the non-college product ion of Chapter~. and another for.ty went ski ing, but the majority opted for the t raditional college entertainer--a I coho 1. Ironically, the College planned events commemorating Al coho l Awareness Week without plann ing any weekend socia l activities. Students demonstrated their alcohol awareness -- by drink ing. They were aware that very little else on campus was avaifable to them. Students need weekend activities to rel ieve the pressure. Parties are the only recourse when too few weekend activities are planned. The responsibility tor pl anning all-college activiti es lies with various student organ izations. Unfortunately, full-t ime students simply do not have the time to continually plan activities. Consequently, the activiti es are not coordinated, which leaves us with boring weekends. The situation will not improve unless the College invests in a student activ i ties direclor. An activiti es director could better coordinate student act ivities. Careful activities planning is essential for improved student life. Wi lkes College not only needs a full-t ime activiti es director, but one from outside the College community. Hiring a Wil kes graduate would not improve the situation. We need a person with new ideas and a different perspective on student life. An effective activities director will find ways to alter student drinking, which is a growing problem at Wilkes. The College needs someone to implement more productive student activities, someone who can help provide alternatives to alcohol. I RESOLVE TO QUlT CHEATING ON EXISl\NG NUCLEI\R ARMS AGREEMENTS ... College newspapers usually take editorial swipes at conservatives rather than liberals, so the attitude shown in the editorial and cartoon in the January 29 .6.w:m is not surprising. You criticize Jesse Helms for encouraging conservatives to buy stock in CBS , stating your fear that such a "takeover " will put an end to "unbiased" reporti ng. May I remi nd you that anyone has a right to buy stock in any company if he can afford it? And si nce when is network prcx;iramm ing so unbiased? The network news never tires of telling us of the atrocities of the contras in Nicaragua. Why do they never mention torture of Christians in Sandanista pr isons? And there is more to TV than news.

Dear Editor, This is an open letter to all communication .Students. Presently there are over one hundred people that have declared their major course of study as communications here at Wilkes College. My question is where are you all hiding? Why are you not involved with WCLH or- the i1eac!;m? These are useful activities within your major . They are organizations that are always looking for interested students. In this day and age, students groouating college with a a:immunications degree , have a much easier time finding jobs if some practical experience is acquired at the campus radio station or newspaper. By working at either of these organizations, you get hands on Simmons Comments on Heln:,s, 'Morali~y Quiz' To the Editor : lF YOU OONT Sl"0P LAUGHING who blow up abortion clinics r aises an interesting point. Is there no terror ( or any morality) in the killing of millions of innocent human beings, merely for being unwanted?

Yours sincer ely, John Wiseman Si mmons 11 Mathematics traini ng. There is on ly so much you can learn from reading a book . It is ___the actual experiences that help the most.

These stuoonts come from China , Japan , Taiwan , Kor ea , South America , and Europe , to name a few places. One of these students is Peter Lam, a 19-year-old from Hong Kong.

He then went to Springfield College in Massachusetts for eight months ( the equivalent of two semesters) as preparation for college. He also took some co I lege courses and transferred the credits to Wilkes. Peter is currently a chemistry major. He pJans to stay for a seven-year program to get a oogree in oontistry.

In the United States, according to Peter, families eat more processed fast food, and in Hong Kong, families sit oown to meals of , for example , roast chickens , roast ducks , and cooked vegetab Jes. People in the United States are also more open with their feelings and actions, said Peter. "Citizens of Hong Kong are more conservative. Young ooults of Hong Kong are faced with strict curfews , and parents feel less lenient about marriage and dating than American parents do." Peter also commented that he thinks people are more likely to ~t divorces in the United States. Although marriage and dating are handled more conservatively in Hong Kong, attituoos toward drinking, according to Peter, greatly differ from the U.S. drinking laws. In Hong Kong, there is no .drinking age. Drinking is for all ages. "Hong Kong ~ not have as much crime as the United States ~ ... said Peter. "Not too many murders, just muooi ngs...

An investigation of Clemson University's athletic department has discovered coaches who are g1v mg athletes i llega I pr escription drugs. This incident, combined with similar inci dents nationwide, may help some reformers pass strict new r egulations of ~ollege athletes' behavior . "There's a growing concern acr oss the country that college aht letes wil l end up in the same drug-use situation as professional athletics," said Er ic Zemper , r esearch coordinator for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Athletes· use of illegal dr ugs is a nationwide problem . The U.S. cycling team was recently attacked for its use of "bloo:! ooping" or blood boosting.

The Way They Walk ..... Have you ever stopped to notice just how an athlete walks? Yes , we have all heard them talk, but what about their walks? Ther e are football players , basketball players , and more , Some are interesting , and some are a bore. Soccer booters oo indeed have a strange pace- They never seem to look you in the face. Their shoulders always seem to be round Because they are always watching the ground. Take note of the next athletes you see And find out what category they are in or where they might be. Basketball players walk with a bounce or lope. Thei r walk makes them seem as if they were skiing oown a slope. Female athletes cannot escape Because their str ides also deserve a gape. Women basketball players seem to have a bounce That moves their every ounce . . Football players are quite a strange breed- Their walk has been ar ound for so long some think it's a creed. You'll know a football player the minute you see him- He's the one who looks as if he's trying to move a wall as he walks by a little grim . Field hockey women seem to be best- They walk as if they ar e bowing to a quest. I guess bending over a stick · can make.you not so quick. Softball players appear to walk with their heads helo n,qr As i f they were watch ing the ball with a careful eye They seem to have a stare , And believe me , it'.s nota glare. Athletes walk in many ways, So take a look one of these days, Andyou'll see what I mean , And maybe you ·11 think it's keen. Wrestlers have a unique walk, too. They walk as if they are ready to take you down and stick it to you Did you ever notice that a weight lifter's arms never touch his bcxty? But I'd never tell him that it looks gaudy. As for baseball players, what of those? . They look as if they are running on their toes You never see the heel of a catcher touch the ground; He has to be ready to leap and to bound. All you ath letes r emember , this is all meant in fun , Because I am also one. • • : Gymnasium and Weight •• • Room •• •p . ! •. . . • r1or to Sprmg Break· . • • 9:30pm. to midnight• :sundays: • Saturdays: I :00pm. to 6:00pm . ! :Fridays: 7:00pm . to 10:00pm .• .. .. • .. !EoilowiogSW:iIJg Break· •Sundays: 5:00pm. to 11 :00pm. • ,. •.Saturdays: 1:00pm . to 6:00pm . • •Fridays: 7:00pm . to I 0:O0pm. : •,.Mondays: 9:00pm. to 11 :30pm. • :Wednesdays 9:00pm. to 11:30 : .• Weckesser Weight Room .•.

"Ken Yakobitis and Eric Jacobs have been playing great ball , and that's gJing to be a big plus for us," Bellairs said. Sophomore Tony Troyan started his match out strong almost pinning his Bucknell opponent. Troyan later lost his bout by being pinned. The Colonels are looking for revenge for their earlier loss to Scranton, but Bellairs says it will take a total team effort to win and to capture the title. End 11 Game Streak "We're very young, we want it badly, and we are trying to make our presence known. If we can get some consistency, we can win," Bellairs said. Colonel Grapplers Beat Bucknell 26-15 and Split Tri-mee t The Royals need the win to stay close in the runni ng for the division title. But with fan support, the players and cooches think the Colonels can win. "Student support helps immensely. If we get a big crowd there, it will help us a lot. The Wilkes spirit has reached further than just the students. The faculty and administration support has also been great. That support will help us win," Bellairs said. The Colonels and Royals will meet tomorrow at 8:00 p.m .

Student 0overnment, in conjunction with National United Savings Associates and local merchants, is sponsoring a savings plan in the form of discount cards. Students may present the discount cards at participating Barre Hall Robbed by Brian Cohill r I> Barre Hall was robbed during the holiday break. The intruder(s) vandalized the building and stole approximately $500 worth of clothing and various personal items. Some students living in Barre believe that the intruder( s) entered the building by climbing the fire escape and crawling through an unlocked second-story winoow. Senior Tim Williams reported approx imately $460 worth of clothing and cassette tapes missing as well as his yearbook. He said,"The person who did this most likely had some knowleo;ie of Barre Hall and the people who live there." He continued, "The thief probably has some interest or connection with the College because they stole a Wilkes yearbook, among other things." The intruder( s) also kicked in various bedroom doors and vandalized the oorm 's television set. Housing Director Paul Adams said, "We've always known that the buildings are vul nerable during break period, and although we take many precautions, we urge students to remove their valuables during breaks." businesses and save anywhere from 1O percent to 50 percent on selected merchandise and services.

North Carolina Senator Jesse Helms wants to control CBS. Helms recently called upon fellow conservatives to band together and buy enough CBS stock to gain controlling interest in the network. The senator's group, Fairness in Media, received financial backing from the National Conservative Political Action Committee (NCPAC). Some conservatives feel that the network's "liberal bias" slants news coverage of political events and view•. Apparently, they have had . enough--and so have I. The moral right to control the airwaves belongs to no one political group, republican or otherwise. The use of network news programming to influence public opinion is both unethical and intolerable. . Professional news organizations strive to present both sides of everYt issue, and CBS is no exception. 1 A Helms-controlled CB~ undoubtedly would lack objectivity in its news pr~sentations. Helms would Iike the news portrayed as he feels it should be. Objectivitywouldbe lost through censorship. Maybe Fairness in Media would change the network's name to th.e Conservative Broadcasting System. The conservative trend in America isn't enough for this small band of conservatives. They want it al I. This type of political influence is not original. Political control of the mass media exists in other areas of the world--areas where alternate political ideas are prohibited. WCLH Station Manager Replies Dear Editor, In the last issue of the am;oo, there were two letters concerning WCLH, the school's radio station. Being the station manager, I would like to take this opportunity to respond to what was written about the station. I find it very amusing that two people, obviously in the minority, are making comments about WCLH without first checking their facts. If they had checked, they would have found · that WCLH does play "new" music and does have a varied format. As part of our regular format, each D.J. is required to play five new cuts per hour. The rest of the music that hour is determined by the individual D.J . Our specialized formats on a Sunday include classical, iazz and~. Yes polkes--1 do not know many college stations that play this type of ethnic music, but because WCLH is licensed to serve the people of Northeast Pennsylvania, we program that type of ethnic music. Mr. Delfino, who said he worked in commercial radio, should have realized that stations are to serve the entire community, not just the college campus where the station is located. WCLH is not archaic es Mr. Delfino says, but programmed in order to serve. We expose the people of this area to "new" music as well as their old WCLH Apologizes to Wilkes Listener To the.Editor: programming.

Finally, I invite Mr. Myers and Mr. Delfino, es well es any other full-time students, to stop up at the radio station and become a DJ. WCLH is open to all full-time Wilkes College students regardless of your · concentration of study: If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me es soon es possible.

As for the request that was not played, Mr. Myer failed to point out that he became very rude to the person who was on the air. One thing I tell all our D.J.'s: If someone is rude to you, you have every right to ignore their request. This is what the operator did and I have no complaints about their action. Mr. Delfino writes that WRKC, King's College~radio have their priests listen to all their records. I know Father Carten, the advisor to the King's station , and he told me he ~ listens to any of the records that come Into the station. This Is confirmed by the many WRKC D.J.'s who are friends of mine. I will always be proud to say that I am manager of WCLH and we have a fine staff and a oreat advisor, Dr. Kinney. We do more than just play music. We people how to be broadcasters. WCLH was recently honored by the Professional News Media of Northeast Penn&ylvania for outstanding work in college journalism. This was the third time in the last five years that WCLH was so honored. Numerous people have gone on to work in the media after being WCLH members, including myself who works for WILK radio and the three anchor members on local television. te!Eh If Mr. Delfino and Mr. Myers have so much to offer , I invite them to become members of WCLH. We are open to all majors and are always willing to train new people. Thank you very much . Sincerely yours, Thomas McGuire Station Manager 1t1}<e ll<tl<tf)Jt VOL.

They cannot intelligently discuss the merits of Mlrl:lnna or Prince, and they are not the least bit concerned about a date on Saturday night. These students are out of step with the ordered pattern of life that would suggest that education fits neatly into one·s life between the ages of 18 and 21. Ben Coo:iamoni , Beth Martin, and Maureen Tourjee are three such "non-troottional" students attempting to fill a void with an education at Wilkes COllege. Coo:iamoni, 53, is a retired Air Force Major and a junior marketing major at Wilkes. The former director of personnel, who enlisted in the Air Force at 17, commented, "I didn't have what I wanted in life. This experience satisfies a personal goal of mine and not a career goal. It fills a gap of boredom." Martin, 28, is the mother of three children, who enrolled at Wilkes for the fall semester because, she said, "It was something I have always wanted to oo." Her biooest challenge was balancing school work and family responsibilities. This j uooling forced Beth to schedule her ti me rigidly, and she confessed that many mornings she was up at 5 a.m. to attend to housework and then out the door by 8 a.m. Tourjee, 38. is vet another - . example. The mother of four and grandmother of two commented, "After raising four children and taking care of an invalid grandmother, this is exciting!" These three students are representative of the large ~~~~~~~.....~:G::~~~~~:::.=~~~:::f"~:i:-::-:~iC<2~ .. number of ooults participating in education today. Mr. John ( Meyers, director of the Evening, Summer, and Weekend College, estimates that one-fourth of the total enrollment at Wilkes is part-time EKiult students.

This article looks at the views of several foculty members ; previous articles presented comments from administrators and from members of the Board of Trustees. .,. by Elizabeth MazzuJlo Continuing the college-wide quest to redefine the "mission " of Wilkes , the mission task force , chaired by Dean Gerald Hartdagen , now meets Friday mornings at 7:45 to aid President Christopher Breiseth in preparing his m1ss10n statement. The task force has met twice this semester to discuss a draft which summarizes responses to each of the nine mission questions arnt "will begin writing sections of the m1ss1on statement," ~ rding to the pr esident. Defining what he sees as the aim of Wi _ lkes , Dr. Gary Dolny, assistant pr ofessor of engineering, said, "The purpose Dr. Oary Dolny, assistant professor of engi neering. of a college is pr imarily education. Education is mor e than just knowing focts. It teaches people to th ink rationally and communicate clearly." "The college , ideally, should ser ve a num ber of pur poses. The primary purpose is to educate the students. It should arts institution , but as an insti tut ion which is preparing students for a variety of careers in a traditional Iiber al ar ts setting." One of the current issues in higher education concerns thi s question of balance between the traditional liberal arts curr iculum and technical or pre-professional courses. "1 ·ve always argued that there should be a balance of the two , in the best interests not only of the students , but of the college as well," Dr. James Rodechko , chairman of the history/ political science department, said. Dr . Kenneth Klemow , assistant professor of biology, also favors a balance of both and suooested instituting liberal arts minors for students majoring in i technical fields. He exp lained , ---4 "Basical ly, what happens is that Dr. Stanley Gutin, professor stuoonts who train for a career of Eng11sh. · find getti ng a first job easy but - - - - - - - - - - - are stifled in their touch with the great mi nds and development...

Focusi ng on the type of students who attend Wi I kes to describe the college's purpose, Dr. Richard Sours, chairman of the mathematics/computer science department, said, "This is a local college , serv ing a local population.

TheooJre Engel, associate Ann Kolanowsk i, assistant professor of busi ness professor of nur sing. administration, stated, "I thi nk, in terms of what we are as an Dr. Stanley Kay , professor Institution, we can no longer look at ourselves as a liberal .if philosophy , emphasized the be a veh icle for resear ch, and it shou Id be a resource that the commun ity can draw upon , be it the physical resources , the talent of the foculty , or the talent of the students ," Dolny continued. Dr. Stanley Gut in , professor of English , said , "The pur pose of a college is to enr ich the student's life and mind . in a variety of ways. It puts him in "proctical value .. of the liberal arts, tx:kiing , "I think a person ought to (1) to college to get an education. It seems to me that an education prepares a person for what he'll oo in life , including a job." Dr . Richard Sour s, chairman of the mathematics oopartment. For Gutin , however, "there's no easy answer " to th is question of balance. "This college is a liberal arts institution , yet we recogn ize that many students ar e using it as a way to a j ob, and that in spite of al l the pub lic r hetor ic on the importance of the l iber al arts , students have a r eal pr oblem in making their way in a difficult world ," he said. Gutin continued , "What the college needs to oo is to recoJnize this need, offer technical, pre-professional programs, but at the same time continue to insist that whether the students know it or not , a broader liberal . arts education will be important to u·,em in their personal lives... In addition to considerina Wilkes' purpose and curriculum , foculty members discussed the benefits of Wi Ikes' character as a small college. "We cater to the individual ·student," Kolanowski said, citing sma 11 classes and a "mor~ intimate student/faculty relationship." Similarly, Kay said , "You have very close contoct with your foculty here. The smaller you are [ as a college], the more contact, control, and supervision r esu lts." Recognizi ng that there are r esponsibilities as well as benefits inherent in Wilkes' size, Rooechko stated, "I think personal contoct has to be maximized between students and faculty [ Wilkes provides] an educational opportunity that allows stuoonts direct contoct. Without it , we lose our significance as a small college." Along with the obligation to insur e contact between students and faculty , faculty members see responsibilities to the community wh ich Wilkes should cKtlress as ·part of its function as a college. These r esponsibilities include pr ov iding services, culture, and an intellectual environment and serving the comm unity by being a quality institution. "I think it has three major responsib i 1it ies- - teaching , r esearch, and service. Often there are problems of a scientific or ecological nature in the community. Wilkes should be thought of when there are pr oblems to be solved," Klemow said. The biology professor added , "The more that Wilkes can oo for the community, the better publicity and the more students we'll get. It's a symbiotic sort of r elationship," added Klemow. Both Sours and Gutin feel that Wil kes shou ld be a center for information and intellectual activity. Sours feels that Wilkes' responsibility is "to b( Dr. Stanley Kay, professor of philosophy. . -a - br_a_in- tr-u-st_a_n_d_a_t,_a.,...le-nttr-u~st that the local community can turn to." Similarly , Gut in noted , "The college should provide a focus of culture, and it should be understood to be a source of information and intellectual excitement for the community" According to Rodechko.

"The only problem that the club runs into is that when a Big Brother/Big Sister is first matched up with a little brother or sister , interest is shown but the students gr ooually get discouraged when ·they aren't matched perfectly, because there are many types of kids with many different needs," said Sabbak. "Big Brothers/Big Sisters is an a11 - around 9'.xxl organization ," conclU<Ed _Sabbalc "This school needs more spirit and the whole Big Brother/Big Sister experience is really a fun thing.

On Saturday, January I 9, Ihe limes .Leooet sponsored a seminar , "T he Media and the Law," inviting only I 00 members of the public to watch the two panel discussions among reporters, editors, publishers, lawyers, jufi;Jes, businessmen, and politicians. Four members of the Wilkes College community attended. President Christopher Breiseth, Dr, Bradford Kinney, and seniors Tim Williams and Annette Wtnskl were among the observers. The first discussion revolved around a citizen's right to a fair trial and the press' r ight to know. The second addressed the growing problem of libel suits. One of the most pub 1icized members of the panel, representing the political and business side of the issue, was for mer Secretary of the Interior James Watt.

Raspen resigned as Director of Alumni Relations to teach in the Commerce and Finance Department full-time. Raspen said he has always been interested in teaching. In fact, he has taught part-time since his groouation from Wilkes in 196 7. Dr. Jerry Rifi;Jley's resignation as chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department prior to the 1984-85 tK:OOemic year gave Raspen the opportunity to teach Ridgley's management courses. Raspen became a full-time instructor before the spring semester. President Christopher Breiseth said that a search committee is currently looking for a new Alumni Relations· Director. Raspen anticipates working with his replacement to smooth the transition. Breiseth said, "What I see is that Dick Raspen's own career objectives and the needs of the college were simultaneously met."

Constructively yours , Martin t'lyers Homecoming Deemed Success To the editor: Following the last wrap-up meeting of the 1984 Homecoming Committee, the Judging Committee felt they wanted to make a few comments on this year's displays. The quality of the displays this year was probably the best in the last ten years. The number also was the largest. Choosing the best was extremely difficult and several committee members were disappointed that some displays were unable to get recognition because of the many top-notch dispiays. n-,e committee die r ecommend that the casn prize:, be continued next year We wou Id hope that some method be devised that the displays be left intact unti 1 .Sunday morning.

The symbolic leooer of Indian national ism , Mohandas Gandhi, was assassinated shortly after independence by a Hindu fanatic disappointed at the partitioning of the country. In an atmosphere of communal violence and economic distress, the new leader of India, Jawaharal Nehru, struggled to create a viable state. In his seventeen years as prime minister, Nehru preserved democratic government, improved economic conditions, .and helped :nctla emerge os a le.oder of th.e Third World. Closely associated with Nehru's efforts· was his daughter Mrs. Indira Gandhi ( no relation to Mohandas) who after a brief interlude succeeded her father as Prime Minister in 1966~ Mrs. Gandhi's main problems revolved around chronic disputes with Pakistan, poverty , and regional and communal divisions within India. A nation of over 700 mill ion, India has many different ethnic and religious groups. Though the vast majority are Hindu, there are over 90 mi ll ion Muslims and some 15 million Sikhs. The • latter are a particularly vi(J)rous people, prominent in the army , proouctive in agriculture , and skilled in technol~. The Sikhs have played a ~-ev role in creating modern India, while at the same time demanding greater autonomy. Demands for Sikh autonomy led to disputes between the government of Mrs. Gandhi and separatists which culminated in the storming of the most holy Sikh shrine, the Golden Temple in Amritsar. by Indian army troops. Indira Gandhi came to be seen as an enemy of the Silch people and was ·rewarded with assassination in the fall of 1984. What repercussions Mrs. Gandhi's death will have for India are very di ff icu 1t to gauge. Radj iv Gandhi , the late P.t1 .' s son, is not a well-qualified politician, but was turned to as a symbol of Indian national unity, a fourth ~neration learer whom all parties can rally around. His task is to manipulate the local political basses who hold power , in order to maintain unity. He must also find a means to resolve the communal str1fe with the Sikh community, without making concessions that will alienate Hindus and weaken the state. The old problems of disagreement with Pakistan and of poverty remain unanswered. Whi le the. difficulities faced by India may seem insurmountable,the Indian state has shown great resilience over the last forty yoors. We can probably expect an interval before new leoo?rship emerges , whic;h while not rec...olvmg all of India's crises will be able to contain them within marcgeable · parameters. If such leooership cnis not come forward . there will be increased . communal violence triat could le.oo to an authoritarian regime, destroying democracy in the name of order and national unity.

Wilkes Plans Alcohol Awareness Week by Laura Vallone , ~ Sunday, January 27, 1985 will mark the fi rst d8y of Alcohol Awareness Week at Wilkes. According to the Dr. Robert Boh lat'KEr , assistant professor of p5Ythol0!1f and unofficial chairman of the prcq-am. the week is re,igned to "provide all k. inds of information about the use and abuse of alcohol. .. "The purpose of Alcohol Awareness Week,.. continued Bohlander, "fs not to turn Wilkes into a dry campus, but simply to promote mCXErate, responsible drinking and freeoom of choice." Bohlanoor also noted that if students know the facts about alcohol, they C8tl make more rational decisions regarding its use. To Icicle off the week's activities, the State Police will minister breathaJizer tests on Sunday to selected students, who will then take a driving ablltty test on campus. Bohlander hopes that students will get Involved, have fun, and at the same time learn the effects of drinking on driving. Student organizations such as IRHC, the first Aid Team. and Student Government will also help with the activities. Each group will sponsor a different project in order to cover as many areas as po.~.ioie Student a:Jvernment will organize the breathaJizer testing. The first Aid Teem wm demonstrate emergency first aid treatment for severely intoxicated people. Role playing will be used as a method of illustrating the proper way to deal with drunk people in a social setting. Circle K IRHC will oversee a demonstration by Northeastern Bartenders School on the proper mixing of alcoholic as well as nonalcohollc beverages. Some other points , of interest will include a presentation by the county coroner on alcohol-related deaths, a discussion by area lawyers on the legal aspect of alcohol abuse, and a program on Student Poll Prompts Action A survey conducted by the Student Life Comm ittee last year 11rom ptedAlcor,ol Awareness week.

At this point, one wonders what the criter ia are for being honored by the MAC.
