XXXVI I Number 9 Wilkes- Barre, PA 18766 November 13. 1984 Wilkes Co1Jege Wilkes Debater Headed to Europe by Kathy Hyde Two American coll~ will be . represented at the International Debate and Discussion Tournament in Lonoon, England this year and Wllkes· Coll~ will be one of them , thanks to junior Walter Schonfeld. On November 4, Schonfeld, along wtth five other finalists from across the nation, competed in Chical}) for the honor of representing the United States at the debates in Great Britain. Schonfeld was selected to be a member of the two-man team which will tour the British Isles for five or six weeks beginning January 25. Schonfeld, who is from Parsippany, New Jersey, toured Europe In the summer of 1977 and is 88!J3r to return. He explained that before le.aving for Europe, he and- his teammate will meet in Minnesota for three weeks for an intense preparatory course. While in Great Britain, the American team will debate at various universities. Right now the schedule is tentative, said Schonfeld, "but we're almost positive that we'll be at both Oxford and GambriOJS. and there's g»j chance we will be invited to speak in Parliament." The team. along with several advisors, will formulate twelve possible topics for debate which will be offered to eoch British team. Any one of these could be selected, so the Americans must be fully prepared to discuss all twelve. Schonfeld explained that "burnout is the biggest problem for a debater. We will probably not speak more than three times a week , but it could total upwards of twenty before we·re finished." Luckily, Nthot will le.ave plenty of time for touring," he{Ojed. The trip will cause Schonfeld to miss quite a bit of school next semester. Because he is on an ROTC scholarship, he must remain a full-time student at the same time that he Is overseas.

Wilkes to Get Computer Grant by EHzabeth Mazzu llo At a press conference last Friday, it was announced that in oroor to train local teochers to become "computer 1i terate," Wilkes Coll~ will be one of 13 Regional Computer Resource Centers in Pennsylvania to receive part of a $7.2 million grant eoch year for four years. The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Aq3ncy ( PHEM) will minister funds appropriated by the state legislature for the · program, which will involve 13 centers from Berwick to the New Jersey state border and from the New York state border to Bethlehem. Of these centers , eight w111 be locoted at colleges and four will be set up at Intermediate Units; the location of one is yet to be decided.

The American Red Cross will conduct a blood drive on campus this Thursday , November 15, from 9:45 a.m. until 3:45 p.m. in the gym. The Circle K Club and the Human Serv1ces Committee are assisting the Red Cross in promoting and organizing the drive. According to David Nehring, director of publlc information at the 8lood Donor Center in Hanover Township, the drive is an extremely one for two reasons. Nehring ao:ied. . · "Students oonate 20 percent · Nehring also sai~ the need < of all the blood collected in for blood is (}Jing up every year northeastern Pennsylvania, so because the elderly are major without student participation we users and there are more elderly are in serious trouble," he said. now than in the past. The (}Jal for Thursday's drive is 280 pints. Dean George Ralston also "This drive is significant emphasized the need for both and faculty because it is this blood collection student that will take us through the participation , noting that Thanksgiving holiday, when most successful drives oonors are at a minimum. When at Wilkes have been those with we lose a collection we lose over full participation by 400 units, and this collection administration, staff, faculty, alleviates that scarcity," and students. �PAGE TWO Commitment to Journalism Needed The commitment to build the Beacon into a strong publication must extend further than the staff itself. Not only must we be committed, but Wilkes College must share in the effort as well. A strong journalism program could only benef i t a college newspaper. After viewing student newspapers from across the country, it is quite clear that students from those institutions with a respectable journalism department usually publish the better newspapers. Presently, ther~ are not enough journalism majors at Wilkes College to provide a competitive atmosphere for editorial positions. The majority of Wilkes communication majors steer themselves toward the electronic media, presumably attracted by the electronic gadgetry. What they perhaps do not recognize is that in .aQ¥ communications job, they w i 11 be asked to write. An effort must be made to inform students of opportunities in the newspaper industry as well. Many students do not visualize themselves as print journalists because of the pr9minence of television and radio. Recruiting high school students interested in print media would provide the proper basis for a growing journalism program. The strong English department at Wilkes also provides a nice foundation on which to bui Id. Presently, Wilkes does not employ a full-time professor who specializes in journalism. A financial commitment to specialized faculty has been severely lacking and deserves some attention. Because we lack a full-time journalism teacher, ' students here tend to lean towards the electronic media. Of the three major communication media - · print, television, and radio-the print media is the least expensive to incorporate into a college faculty. Aside from the initial cost of hiring additional faculty members, a journalism program requires very little financing. There is no need for expensive, state-of-the-art gadgetry that is so es sent i a1 to television and to radio. Surprisingly, the College already owns the needed f ac i1 it i es. The word processing room in the Stark Learning Center currently serves as the classroom for Communications 211, Basic News Writing. No immediate plant additions would be necessary to expand the journal ism program. We are pleased to see the College work towards establishing a television studio to accompany the already-sound radio stat ion. But, for a fraction of those costs, the College could do wonders for the nearly non-existent journal ism program . What Happened tfere?

This race for military super iority has led to an immense build up of nuclear arsenals on both sides of the globe. The weapons of these two camps vary in explosive for ce. They range from a subhiloton "tactical'· bomb ( equivalent to less than l ,000 tons of TNT); to a 25- megaton warhead, equivalent to 25 million tons of TNT and two thousand times as powerful as the bomb that burst over Hiroshima. The building up of all these weapons of annihilation seems pointless, but in the eyes of those who are in charge of the stock pi ling, it is a very necessary act. The main idea behind all of this piling up of arms is supposedly to prevent war . Each superpower is putting a "chip" on his sholder waiting for the other to stay even with him, not falling ,I ' • · .. ... · •.'. ·::;, . ':·ll~BB · Salvation? behind in the race for Nuclear ':,upremocy. There is a term for th is type of philosophy that the people in charge of this operation use, it's referred to as "mutually assured destruction" ( M.A.D.). The ability todestr(1f one-quarter to one- half of the opponents· population and industry is often deemed sufficient to guarantee that he will find no real political or military gain worth the price. Despite this horrifying potential , nuclear weapons development has become such a common part of our lives that we seem almost unmoved by eoch new advance. Can it be that we have finally learned to live with tile bomb? Pernaps we tak.e man's destructive capability too lightly. Walter F. Mondale once stated that "We are the first generation with the capacity to destroy all life on this planet. " While this arms buildup routinely take place, 9Nernment scientists on both sides keep trying to advance their "War Machines" even further . New experimental weapons such as the laser and subatomic particle beam have been researched on an exper imented with. These new tools of destruction could very well advance war into a new arena: space. The horrifying possibilities of what could happen in the future are unmeasurable. It takes only one mooman ar fool who misunderstands a crisis to bring civilization to an abrupt end. The generations after World War II did not experience the horror and shock of Hiroshima. Some scientists say that every few years a multimegaton weapon should be expl~ in the atmosphere in front of the assembled leaders of the world, so ttlat they will stand in awe of its incomprehensible heat and force. Even at a safe distance of thirty miles or more, they will feel the blast like the opening of an oven o:xir, or the gates of Hell. John Domzalski Tutwiler Assuming he remains in ~ health, Ronald Reagan will serve four more years as this country's president. The 1984 gener al election was unquestionably a great victory for Reagan, as even Walter Mondale conceded. Gaining all but fourteen electoral votes, the incumbent received 59i of the popular vote. other Republican condidotes fored less well. The Democratic party holds a majority in the House and picked up two more Senate seats. On balance, it appears the electorate has confidence in the president himself, but is withholding full approval of his party and its platform. The implications of last Tuesday's voting for the future of this country are difficult to determine.

The issues were much the same then as they are now. McGovern r an as the peace candidate. Nixon was ~ ing to retrieve our national honor wfth a show of strength. The state of the economy and massive buo;Jet deficits were major oomest ic concerns. The result of the two elections are sim i lar: a masslve re-election victory for the Republican president while Democrats held thelr own in the congress. Strangely enough, in 1972 the Republicans were the proponents of fiscal responsibility. A balanced buo;Jet was their concern, and not something that hoo much import for the Democrats. This year the roles were reversed. In 1972 the college students were the vanguard of McGovern support. This year the youth of America rallied around Reagan. Nixon could claim a me.asure of detente with the Soviets, and was demonstrably concerned wlth n8!J)tiating arms control agreements. Mondale promised much the same.

This article presents the personal views of several members of the Board of Trustees; it ooes not attempt to report the Board's official position. by E11zabeth Mazzullo Over a century 81,Jl, Cardinal Newman, in Ille .l.dea of a University, asked, " .. . are OCQuirements and attainments the scope of a University Education? or expertness in particular ar.1s.am1 purslfits? m:· IllllCfil .t1Dd rnilJlilUS proficiency? or. something besides these three?" This year , President Christopher Breiseth will oo::tress similar questions when he presents a redefinition of the "mission" of Wilkes. To atd Breiseth in preparing his mission statement, a task force now meets to gather student, staff, and administrative input on a series of quest ions concerning the purpose and nature of Wilkes College. Defining what she sees as the aim of Wilkes College, Patricia Davies, chairman of the Board of Trustees, explained, "Educational institutions have a responsibility to educate students for citizenship as well as for their future life - ~mic or professional." She oo:1ed, "Wilkes started out as a liberal arts college with an unique mission in this town -to give local students an education. It was almost entirely commuter; it's almost SO percent residential now with d1fferent needs. Wllkes ts evolving. That's a very healthy state of affairs." According to Trustee William Conyngham, "The reason Wilkes College was founded was to provide a college education for students who didn't have enough money to ~ aw~. Wilkes has grown enormously. It now provides graduate degrees, but it is st ill brooo-based." "The main mission of Wilkes is to t~h young people to think for themselves," Conyngham continued , " and I think we've been ratl)er successful in ooing that." Another purpose of the college, occording to Trustee Richard Ross Jr. , is to prepare students "to be reedy for the world when they meet it." He also stated that Wilkes should "take care of [students·] career needs." One of the current issues in higher education, discussed in the recent Mortimer report, concerns the fulfillment of these career needs, particularly the balance between the traditional liberal arts curriculum and technical or preprofessional courses. "I think that Wilkes is uniquely situated to provide both," noted Davies. She oo:1ed, "I'm ~oted to the liberal arts, but I realize that the demands of the times are becoming more -technical. .. Trustee Esther Davidowitz agreed, explaining, "I personally feel that In order to be a wel I-educated person, you need four years of liberal arts" as an undergraduate, with career training occurring in graduate school. "Realistically, that's not really possible. Students oon't have the time or the money," she continued. Davidowitz oo:1ed, "There are very few jobs available with a liberal arts background, and we live in a very expensive world." Other trustees hold conflicting views. James Adonizio believes, "Technical courses would be very useful at this point," but Conyngham stated, "The purpose of Wilkes College is to provide a we 11-rounded education , not necessarily technical, because other schools iri the area can provide that." Some trustees, however, feel that a balance of traditional and technical courses is necessary. Arnold Rifkin. treasurer /assistant secretary of the Board, observed, "I think, really, that part of the mission of Wilkes is to fulfill the needs of the students in both areas." Commented Ross, "I think that the balance the college has now is a \)XX1 one. Obviously. this is a very strong issue." The trustees offered comments and sug;JeStions for imorovino various aspects of Wilkes. These aspects include the curriculum, the campus itself, and cultural affairs. Looking at ~mies, Ross noted that Wilkes "probably responsive to the needs of the needs more graduate courses, community, and, obviously, to perhaps in engineering" and that the needs of the students as well, the college needs to offer more and I think that should be interdiscip I inary programs. continued." Davies also rec()Jnized these "Departments have to work together to cover subjects responsibilities. "The fact that students want to hear about," the Wilkes lies right in the mictile of Wilkes-Barre gives it special trustee explained. Several trustees expressed responsibilites to the what they see as a need for community," she noted, acxling increases sports facilities to that Wilkes' size carries responsibilites. better serve the college. "I acxlitional has very rare think we're definitely lacking a "Wilkes sports complex," stated opportunities in that it is a Aoonizio, "such as a swimming small college ," Davies observed. "That's an increasingly rare and pool and a much larger arena." Davies said, "Students tooay special thing. Many students are very aware that it's very come here for the experience of important to have a strong m.ind being a name, not a number." and a strong bcrlf. Students can't Conyngham said, "As far as stu(1y' all the time, and they have the community is concerned, the to have time for recreation.

It has also opened a lot of things "more comfortable" for people's eyes to what's ~ing on Wilkes students; he stated that in northeastern Pennsylvania... oo::tit ional parking faci I it ies Davies and Davidowitz would also help the college serve its students.

We have them and they are very poorly attended." "For example, the music department has innumerable concerts by students, for students, which are very sparsely attended," she continued, oo:ling, "There's something the matter." Encouraging culture, Davidowitz sug;JeSted, is also part of Wilkes' purpose as a liberal arts college: "When you ~ to school in a small town, then the institution has a DON'T &oTH~ WrtH Ttf IS responsibility to provide l>lftTBA6 HOff£'f.

"I think that Wilkes has to be a (})Od neighbor and that it has to have a sensitivity to the community ," Rifkin stated, oo::ling, "Wilkes pas alw~s been pointed out responsibilities that members of the colleQe community have to Wilkes. "As a trustee," Davies noted, "the best thing I can oo is to lend support to a high-grade staff. It's up to the trustees to support professors in the endeavor for quality education." The Board's support, she further explained, is concerned with the buo;iet. The chairman oo:1ed, "Financial aid is more important than ever. There's a very serious problem In the cost of tuition at every college." Davidowitz stressed the importance of student responsibility to Wilkes, particularly-the need for student input in the search for the mission of Wilkes. "The answers aren't as important as the questions being asked [about the mission]." she explained, lliilng that getting people to think about the questions was more important. Oavidowitz concluded, "That's the responsibility of each student - - to decide what he wants and to help that come about." IICfCEI T.MotJseu. HE.Y 8AB1, 1 D16 '1011,. ST'flt. com HU.£ OFTE,. ?

Monsell The Board of Trustees is the heart that pumps the blcxx1 to Wilkes Colle,J3, yet not many people outside of the ooministration know who the members are. "You couldn't run a collEJJ3 like this without a Board to bookstop the lnstftutlQrl." said Presioont Christopher Breiseth. It's easy to see that the Board of Trustees Is an Integral part of Wilkes Colle,J3. But just who are these people who have the power to hire and to fire a president, to approve or to disapprove rEn>mmendatfons from the ministration , and to supply the colle,J3 with a great deal of the funds neeood to keep this Institution alive? The 11st of trustees reoos like a list of "Who's Who Among Suroessful People 1n the Unltoo States." There are 34 ootive members on the board and eight Trustees Emeriti. Trustees Emeriti are people who have served on the Board and have distinguished themselves as members of the colle,J3 community. Among those Trustee Emeriti are Donald F. carpenter, retired head of DuPont's Film Division ; Mrs. Eberhard Faber, director of Eberhard Faber, Inc.; and The Honorable Max Rosenn, Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit. Another Emeriti was the recently deceased Louis Shaffer, a prominent Wilkes-Barre attorney. The Trustees Emeriti attend Board meetings but do not vote on the Issues. Twenty-two of the ootive Board members live loc.ally, coming to the Board meetings from Kingston, Bear Creek, Dallas, and Shavertown.

Vinyl View - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Reviving the Reggae Beat-by Steve 6ambale 1.mWc gf 1.m by UB40 contains a selection of songs that represent an era in music history. These songs represent · reggae before it was discovered by cops, sociol(YJists, and TV producers. They are reggae before it was claimed by lefties, . liberals, punks, and nasties. They are the reggae that was snickered at by DJs when It first appeared on the scene. Today, reg;iae is expanding and is ~tting more rooio time than ever. This is apparent when you look at one of the more popular bands of today: the Police. The Police use that reg;Jae beat to perfection. On the album .Labwt gf .Ltrle.. released in 1983, UB40's purpose is to bring book some of the classic regJae tunes that everyone snickered at when they were first released. What these tunes really deserve is praise. Next time you're partying with your bucklies, throw on e !J:01 reg;iae music. It is me of the most enjoyable party usic you'll ever hear, and this album contains songs from the reooae masters. All the songs on the album were recordoo by reggae artists between 1969 and 1972. One song, entitled "Sweet Sensations," is a cool tune that was wr ltten by the great Melodeans. This song has a partying beat and is really easy to get into. The album's finest song is "Red, Red Wine... This tune is well done; it Is hard to believe it was written during an era charooterlzed by so much political strife. It has a simple and appealing sound. The next song, "Guilty," was written by a band member named .. Tiger.·· A regJae balloo, this tune is more a story than a song. The singer doesn't sing, but Instead tells a story, and a pretty interesting story to boot. "She caught the Train," written by Winston Groovey, is another story of lost love. This song r eally impressed me because of its interesting style. All the instruments that many bands don't use anymore are used io a classic ww, I can't understand why more of today's bands don't use the instruments of those past days. I guess they've for~tten the meaning of simplicity. One of the best songs is "Version Girl. .. This song was on the Afrjr.an Nerbsman album by Bob Marley and the Wailers. You don't have to be a regJae fan to appreciate the immortal Bob Marley~ you just have to like life. Marley and his band sing about the simpler things in life, the things everyone should appreciate. The UB's capture the essence of reooae as it was. This album is f 111ed wlth the sound of ye-.;terday. In those days, reooae appealed not to the intellect or to social consciousness but to the he.art and to the hips. The UB's were probably .very young at the time and loved these songs as only kids can. Almost fifteen years later on .LabQUt gf Loi'.e. the bond shares material with the public which otherwise may have died, revealing the emotional impact the songs had on the band. 1 Deadly · 5 Falls short 11 Administer 12 Onslaught 14 Near 15 Cuddles up 17 A state: abbr. 18 Edge 20 Food programs 21 Unit of Japanese currency 22 Send forth 24 Single 25 Hurried 26 Planet 28 Whirlpool 30 Attempt 31 Sunburn 32 Parts of play 2 Dr. Breiseth said, "I see my role as keeping the Board informed of developments on campus and to keep them aware of what ls ahead, both short-term and long-term."

Its booi ngs are not particularly comfortable," commented Dr. Michael O'Neill, who is directing Wwzec;k (pronounced Voit-set< ), a Wtlkes Coll~ Theatre Pr oouction which opens Friday, November 16, at 8:00 p.m. in the Center for the Performing Arts. Written in 1836 by German playwright Geor g Buchner, Wrtaeck is based on a htstorical figure of the same name whose celebrated mur der trial was the first in history in which a plea of temporary insanity was used as a defense. "If this play were oone in Germany in 1836 , the audience would have known who W~k was," said O'Neill. "The play has always fascinated me," he continued, "No one is really sure what the real play is because it wasn't discovered unt II 40 years after Buchner's ~th. O'Neill explained that there are many unanswered questions about the play, because Buchner, who died from typhoid at the • of 24, left no final copy, leooing experts to believe that the play may be unf1n1shed. There are 29 short scenes in the play, and ~ding to H ~ pl~ in the barroom of the local inn. "They may be three separ ate scenes, or they may be rewrites of the same scene," said o· Nei 11. In the play , WCJyz.eck is a man who is so dehumanized and manipulated by society that he is driven Insane. The medical and scientific communities use him as a guinea pig for stu<ty and experimentation. L1ke the historical WCJt{ZOOk , the character in the play is poor , and in return for money he submits himself to a ·1oca1 physician who experiments with his diet. It is ironic that Buchner, a physician himself, depicts the oxtor in the play as a r uthless and misgu11Ed scientist who allows WCJt{ZOOk to eat nothing but peas for three months. According to O'Neill , Wqyzeck ls considered by many to he the first mtmrn tr~. "WfJ(/1!,d. ts 4 common Illa\ who has a soul. His dreams, aspirations, and feeling are as noble as Oedipus' or Hamlet's, but his station in life allows him no expression. Oedipus acx1resses the Thebans, and WCJyz:eck talks to a barroom full of drunk peasants," said O'Neill. Wrtaeck has enjCJyed popularity in coll~ theatres for the past 35 years precisely because it is so mooern, said Klaus Holm , designer of both the light ing and the set . examines a morel of the set. O'Neill, "there is dispute about the sequence of the final scenes." In one arrangement WCJyz.eck drowns, while in another he is captured by authorities. There are also three scenes which take O'Neill. "The narrative is f r(qllented, the scenes are short, and the characters are ·types' rather than fully developed. There is also some Director Michael O'Neill rehearses a scene with actors Brian Dorsey, Rick Rothlisberger, and Gene Wachowski . .. confuston between dream and reality, and the play fdfresses some very complicated psychological Issues," said O'Neill. The dehumanization of the Individual is very unusual subject matter for literature of that time perioo, noted O'Neill. "There is no logical explanation for why this play was wrltten 1n 1836," he said. "There is no precedent for it. Plop. It was just there." O'Nefll said he found the play interesting from a directorial point of view because he had to find "corr elat ives for the intense sub- text of the play." _According to O'Nei 11, the play ~Is wi th human drives and instincts in their most primitive for ms. Accordingly , !he set, designed by KJaus Holm , is a circle, which is a primitive the.atrical device. The play as a whole will try to convey the coarse and vulgar life of the German peasant. "In the end," said O'Nefll "the actual bloo(ty deed is something WCJyz.eck ooes himself. No one tells him to oo it. The only individual act he has left is a violent one. " ' "The spook iest thing about the play," he continued, "is that it shows that humans have the ~ity to harm m-i other. They try to blame science, tecnology, poverty . . . but ultimately there is no one to blame but themselves." O'Neill predicts that audience response to a pJay of this kind wfll be positive, but warns that people "shouldn't expect to see the kInd of pJay done at the dinner theatre in SwCJyersvi Ile." "They won't be able to reach into any standard bag of responses and pu 11 out the proper one for this play because they won't find it," he said. "The subject matter . ts violent. It may offend some people. Buchner wants to shake up the audience as much as WfJ(Zf!£k was shaken up by his society," O'Nefll remarked, 00'.ling, "People should enjCJy the experience, but they should also be quite disturbed by It." ******* Showtimes for YJ.fNZ.f!l,i. are as follows: Friday, Nov. 16 : 8:00 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 : 8:00 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 18: 2:00 p.m. Students receive one free ticket with their ID.

Financial Aid (CPS) - - Students looked out of 1984 ffd3ral financial aid programs could find some opened cmrs next year if Ronald Reagan signs the fiscal 1985 education funding bill now on his CESk. Experts predict Reagan will sign H.R. 6028, which contains the federal education boo;Jet for the Oct. 1, 1984 to Sept. 30 1985 fiscal year, and which was passed on Oct. 11 by both houses of Congress. "We think the increoses will loosen up financial aid substantially," Lou Deitrich, Department of Education, spokeswoman reports. Nevertheless, some aid directors around the country fear that the increases may be too little and too late to help current students, and that they're not big enough to help students new to the aid programs. Still, Congress's aid bUQJet is $1 .7 billion more than the president wanted 1n the 1985 bUQJet. In his bud;Jet request del1vered to Congress last February, Reagan wanted to fund I the Pel I program at its 1984 level, eliminate Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOO) and State Stuoont Incentive Grants, drastically cut National Direct Student Loans ( NDSL), and increase Work/Stuay and GSL allocations. In actiition, the Office of Man~ent and 600J9t ear lier this year proposed letting 1nflat1on eat (!Nay . more a1d programs by keeping budgets the same through the next four years. Congress instead has increased the total education buo;Jet by 14 percent and sent it to the White House for R~'s stgnature. "There are increases in just about every program for 1985," Dietrich notes. "It certainly provides students with more aid options." The SEOO program would ~t $40 million more, NDSL $35 million more, and College Work/Stu(tf $37.S million more than 1984 levels if Re8Q!ln signs the bill into law.

The 13 wins were the most ever in the sport's 36-year history at Wilkes. It was the first winn ing season since 1971 and only the 11th of all-lime. · The six losses came at the hands of · regionally - ranked Division 1r and Ill teams as well as a Division I institution. The Colonels ended with a 5- 1 MAC Nor thwest League mark. leav ing them in second place by a half game behind Elizabethtown. Wilkes finished the season on a six - game winning streak , compiling a 4-0-1 record in overtime matches and upping its home record to 13- 4- l over the past two seasons. "The home field advantage has proven to be a big plus for us ," commented Wingert. "This season we upset seventh- ranked East Stroudsburg, beat Messiah, Susquehanna, and King's , and tied Virginia Tech at home." Williams. the only graduating player , has experienced both the IJX)d and bad t1mes as a Colonel kicker . In his 198 l freshman campaign, Wilkes finished 0-14 , allowing opponents 94 goals. As a sophomore , William s was named co-captairi, and although Wilkes only won two matches , his defensive prowess helped lim it opponents to 33 goals. "Tim has made large contri butions to our prcx;iram·s prcx;iress over the past three seasons," ao.:1ed Wingert. "He has performed well on the fi eld and has always been a key individual during our recruiti ng on campus. He has developed into my right-hand man and he will be sorely missed next season." Ironman keeper Don Shaw anchored the Colonel defense. The 6 · 7" sophomore appeared in all 20 games, allowing 23 goals, for a 1. 15 goals f1Ji}inst average_ He made I 12 saves en route to five shutouts, one shy of the school record. Offensively, the Colonels averaged better than two ~ls an outing, scoring 42 gJals on 47 assists. The team placed three individ•Jals in the 20-point club. Prior to this season only six Wilkes players had ever reached the 20-point club. Sophomore midfie loor Jeff Wertz led the way with 29 points ( nine goals, 1 I assists). He is th ird on the season scoring list and his two-year totals are 17 !J)als and 12 assists. Wertz was followed Dy fr eshman str iker John Pursel l ( 2 1 points, eight goals, five assists). Pursell netted five game- winn ing goals in his rookie campaign. Junior Gr eg Trapan i, a wi nger, had 20 points. · "These three scorers came up with ten game-winning goals ," said Wingert "Trap is in the ri qht pla.-:e , Pursell is an opportunist. . ano Wertz i1as the uncanny ob i I ity to score off restarts." A oominant fllrce behind the Colonels' success was sophomore co-captain Frank Wanz.or. The center midfieloor was the team's fourth leading scorer with four qJals and four assists. Wingert commented, "Frank Is a cooch·s player. He is clutch under pressure, a winner, and one that wi 11 give the extra to pu 11 ou1 the victory."

Reese said, "Things fell into pllnl this year and we picked up a few lastminute kids, and that should help us a lot. " This year, Reese could start as many as four freshmen in the opening match. This youth could prove to be a weakness for the Colonels. A lack of depth in the upper weight classes could prove to be hozoroous for the Colonels. According to Reese, the team has only one wrestler for each of the upper weight classes. Any illness or injury could cause a large gap in the line-up. The strength of this year's squad lies in the m1ci11e weight classes. From 134 lbs. to 16 7 lbs. , the squad has a lot of depth and stability, due to the f~t that several team members will be battling for the starting position. The Colonels will be opening their season with two of the toughest teams in the country, Navy and Lehigh. Reese feels that if the freshmen can pull through in the early meets, that by the time January rolls around. the team should be set for a better year than last year. "We lost some meets last year we shouldn't have, but if we lose this year, it will be because of inexperience, and that is a positive Wcfo/ to lose," said Reese. Two new assistant cow;hes are joining the squad this year. Reese sees that as a great advantage. "Gary Siegel and Bill D(X)Je are providing a lot of help at pr~tice and the kids feel comfortable with them, so therefore they can talk to th~m more easily." Co-captains Tom Jamicky and Jim Mulligan will be leading the very young Colonels squad this year. Three talented freshmen will be vying for the lead spot: former New York state champ Dennis Mejias, Lance Ing, and Scott Bi1 ker. Newcomers wi II also be filling the 126- lb. spot. Mark Gerbino from New Jersey looks to be the favorite, with Brian Potier and Lou Rossi providing support. Junior Gary Sanchez and sophomore John Cheerie will wage quite a battle for the 142· lb. spot, and freshmen Rich Lizak and Jim Cunningham will b~k them up. A three-way race is shaping up at 150 lbs. with last year's starter 0len Whiteman being pushed by freshmen Tony Ri(J)Us and Al Adams. Adams may also wrestleat 142 lbs. Stanoout and PIM place winner Craig Rome has looked strong and is challenging sophomore Gerry Scaringe for his starting spot. Two-year starter Tom Jam icky wi 11 move up to handle the 16 7- lb. class and is looking for a strong year.

Elizabeth Gibson T~e Beacon has been the subject of numerous criticisms levied by people from all levels of the college community. Granted, we have made mistakes, but most of us are learning from those mistakes. A college newspaper should be a vehicle for learning. Therefore, the Beacon is fulfilling its function. We understand the ease with which a "' person can fall into criticiz ing this paper without any intentions of helping the situation. To place oneself in a vulnerable position, as we do on a weekly basis, requires courage and pride. We have had the courage from day one, and we are slowly building the Beacon into a newspaper the entire campus can be proud of, indeed, into the best college newspaper in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The Beacon has prob 1ems, but we are gradua I ly correcting them. Unfortunately, we have been deluged with verbal complaints, and we have yet to receive a proportionate number of written ones. The few letters we have received were accompanied by offers of help or support. The writers of these letters understand the . time and effort needed to produce a Beacon. Those who verbally criticize apparently do not. While we are committed to butlding the best Beacon ever, we cannot do it without cooperation, of and support from the entire college community. Therefore, any criticisms not made in the Beacon's best Interest are not welcome. . ,, t✓~-kt'~;,f,~:;~(✓-;,:.,.,., -·,., ;;!~fa/~.,r;f;;,~i~ . /:~ (%: ,,,7%,~:,i-1/ . •, football team.

"I ·ve been interested in the topic all my life," noted Driscoll, cniing, ''I'm a kind of living example of the battle for equal education, equal job opportunity. and equal pay. and I'm up to my neck in the problem of balancing a career and a family." Driscoll continued, "I think we're surprisingly ignorant about the role that IJlnder plays in every aspect of our lives. We should pay as much attention to this subject as we oo to the study of economics, sociol()(Jf, or the other things we take in an attempt to understand the world in which we live." She noted, "It's really amazing how much our liberal arts disciplines have been oominated by a male point of view, so I just think it's important to have an opportunity to look ot the other side." Driscoll observed that one of the problems in incorporating a course such as "Women's Studies" into the curriculum is that few textbooks but much specific research have · been published. "That is why I think the interdisciplinary approach is a ~ one," she commented , "because we can make (J)od use of . specific research." by Elizabeth Mazzullo Next semester, a three-credit interdisciplinary course. "An lntroouction to Women's Studies," will be offered "to improve students· awareness of women's concerns in society," according to Ms. Jean Steelman, assistant professor of nursing, who will aid in team-teaching the course. In the course, Steelman plans to de61 with "women as consumers of health care." She explained, "Being in the health care profession for over 20 years helps me look at how women are affected by the health care system." Steelman continued, "I think the course will have a very positive effect of exposing students to foculty 1n different disciplines, rather than being concentrated in their own disciplines.~· She attic!, "I think it will be a very exciting course.

I know I haven't been home in so long that my parents have ploced a s1gn in our front yard - - "Room for Rent. " I know my roommate thinks she has a single, even though it's twu months into the semester. tsut when I heard that pounding into the bullet'tn board I couldn't help myself. Another speech tournament sign-up sheet awaits my signature. It's drawing me into the hall, pen in hand. I'm reafy to sign my life awff{ for yet another weekend ( also known as ooing eight events at l:l thr.ee day tournament, which means delivering 24 speeches). I've been a member of the Wilkes Coll81J! Speech and Debate Union for three years. That's three years of my life spent in endless hours of research , writing, and polishing speeches. Yes, It's exhausting, both emotionally and physically. Yes, it's a tremenoous amount of work. And yes, I'd argue, c,rrMm .

Standing in front of a room of · strangers, speaking in an organized, intelligent manner, and earning their respect give me the most wonderful feeling. It's a feeling of total and complete self-satisfa::tion -- a feeling everyone should experience. Mff{be that is what Dr. Francis Michelini, the second presirent of Wilkes College, hoo in mind when he hired Dr. Brooford Kinney in 1971. Michelini told Kinney, "I want a forensics prcx;Jram. I want them to be (JXXl and to get rero;Jnition." Kinney replied, "I'll do my best." He did better than that; he created a forensics prcx;Jram where none existed. When Kinney came to Wilkes College 13 years ~, the speech prcx;Jram consisted of one two-hour course taught by the English fa::ulty. "There was virtually no prcx;Jram left," explalned Kinney. Confessions of a Debater "I hoo the opportunity to take a once-great program and mold it. That was awfully exciting. It was a cha Ilenge." Describing the situation as a challenge is hardly an exaggeration. Kinney hoo no focllltles, almost no bU()Jet, and no program to work with. The result was a team with the longest winning streak on campus - - over 30 consecutive wins - - and 624 awards. But we haven't just won the trophies, we've won something even more important respect. We have a reputation for being a well-disciplined, prepared, and alwff{scom pet it ive team. "That winning streak will eventually be broken," Kinney said, "but we will alwff{s have the distinction of being a welldisciplined SQUOO... The cooch of the number-one forensics team 1n the nation, Bruce Manchester of George Mason University. said to Kinney, "When I saw Wilkes was coming to our tournament, I said to myself. 'this is going to be (}xx:! competition."' At the George Mason University speech tounament, we did not beat the number-oneschool in the natton, but we did come in second. Manchester described wilkes' pro,Jram as "one of the best small-school prcx;Jrams I've seen." Wilkes has been invited to al I of GMU's future tounaments and will attend each one. In foct, we recieve more tournament invitations than we can use. , This is quite a difference from our first year as a team, when we received only four invitations for the whole year. But invitations to what? Most people oon't understand exoctly what we do. When I tell someone I'm on the college debate team. the usual response is an "croJOh," with much admiration. But when I explain that I'm octually Involved in forensics, the usual reply is an "oh," with much confusion. The Wilkes College rebate squad is unique because we are a small school involved in both debate and pub lie speaking. Our cooch, Dr. Kinney, is also unique because he advises both the debate and pub lie speaking uni ts. �PAGE SIX The Lennon Legacy Lives OnJulian Would Have Made Papa Proud Vinyl-View by Steve Gambale and Dom Casstse One morning, I woke up , craw loo out of boo, turnoo on my stereo, and then jumpoo into the shower. This was nothing new ; ft was an ordinary morQlng. After a refreshing shower, I entered my room only to hear a hauntingly familiar-sounding song on the radio. The singer sounded a lot 11ke the late, great John Lennon. I thought to myself, maybe the record company released another Lennon song found in a basement somewhere. The song seemed to be very well done and containoo that soothingly-familiar Lennon style. I l1stenoo In antfclpatlon, hoping the DJ would tell me who was singing and the name of the tune. I was right. It was a Lennon song, but not one of John's. My friend Dom Cassise ran out and bought the album. Then I found out that the song was the first single released off Ywm!e, the new album by Julian Lennon, who ls the first son of John Lennon. To be fair to Julian, I will not babble on about how similar father and son sound. This album is all Julian. There are a few really catchy tunes on this cut. One song that · will rock on in your head after the first llstenfng ls "Too Late For Goo:lbye." It's a song about a relationship on the rocks. Julian handles the tune in a light-heartoo matter that defeats its dismal theme. On harmonica is the world-renownoo Jean "Toots" Theismans. His skill on the mouth harp 001s to the beat that drives through the song. The next song, "lonely," describes loneliness. Julian feels very alone and the music in the song coincides with its title very well. Unlike "Too late For Goo:lbye," Lonely" is a ballad about Julian's lonely life: "yes I'm lonely and I'm on my own a;)ain." It sounds like Julian feels the same way his dad felt on the classic "white album": "Yes I'm lonely, wanna dte... On sax Is Michael Brecker, who fills the song with a very toctful and tear-jerker.

Monsell There's a lot to learn out there, and if you need a quick lesron, just talk to someone who's been arouna. To me, someone older has been around. The person may be a clay older or 60 years older, it ooesn't matter. What ems matter is that they've man8(Jld to live longer than you. And to survive in this world, you·ve got to know something. I was always taught to respect my elders, but I never really took it to heart. Lately I've learnoo more respect for my elders than any preschool kid ever will. It's easy to turn your ears off to what older people are saying; as a matter of foct, we think we're being cool when we oo the opposite of what someone older tel Is us to oo. But it's not cool. They're only trying to help. They're speaking from experience and we should take their advice and use it. Others' experiences can contribute to our growth. Take what others say and use it to · your oovanti,;p3. We live in a damn tough world -- no one will argue that - - but 1f you can get clues about what it takes to be successful in this world, you'll f lnd you won't make some of the mistakes you were heading right towards. I've made a lot of mistakes alreooy in my short lifetime. I imagine I wouldn't have made these mistakes had I listenoo and learnoo while listening. It's a big mistake we make, hearing without listening. If we could just motivate ourselves to listen to what we are hear mg, there is no ooubt in my mind that we would be much better off.

Look Again, There ~s a Lot to Do - if You Know Where to Look by Cloudia Lee At this time during the ~mester, most coll~ stuoonts have finally settled in and created their own comfor table niches in the college community. We have m~ new friends as well as remained with friends from the previous year. Life at college has become a ser ies of events that are all too familiar. Everything we oo is pr,:tictable and stable , ranging from the time we get up for class to when and with whom we eat lunch and dinner . Even our social activities become stagnant after a whi le. Be they playing sports, worki ng, watching TV, or shopping, even weekend events become r itualistic. Whether you're dancing at the 2-5, partying at 391 , or Just hanging out with your fr iends , the weekends can become monotonous after a while. Many of you may be woncilring just what else there is to oo to make your lives more interesting and eventful, After all, the same thing day after day, week after week, can prove to be boring after awhile. Perhaps it's a !J:xx1 time for a change. Think about these few suooestions that may help give your life a little ~ spark of excitement. First of all, as many of you can attest to, music plays a big part in most of our lives. Therefore , this may be the best place to star t improving , changing, and experimenting. (There are plenty of ways to oo so.) One of the more drastic ways would be to start listening to a totally different kind of music. Who knows? It may prove to be an intrcxluction to something you never real ized you liked. There are so many types of music to choose from: rock and roll, dance music, top 40, classical , country and western, bluegrass, jazz, new wave, oldies, heavy metal, scores from Broooway musicals -- you name it. There are aspects of each of these types of music which make them unique and special. If yotJ aren't into listening to something different, why not expand on the music you air~ enj oy? For example, if you lfke more instrumental rock and roll, chances are a record cut by a i;J:xx1 rock and roll guitarist would fit nicely into your record collection. Likewise , country music fans may find they like bluegrass as well. If you're more versatile and you enjoy many different types of music, or even if you aren't, you may be able to augment that appreciation by learning to play an instrument. Enough about music. Let's explore what Wilkes has to offer. If you've never been to a club-sponsored SUB party or gym party, check one out ! They're a fun way to unwind with a group of friends or even alone. You won' t be alone for long, because these parties are always popu lated with pe.op le you know. If you're not into dancing or partying, but are more of an observer. the college sponsors movies with usually only a smal I charge for admission. Another inexpensive icila is to see a Wilkes . play in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts. These are fun and a cheap way to enjoy yourself. You may even want to audition for one of the productions. For you sports fans , joining a team is a i;J:xx1 way to participate in a sport you like and meet new people at the same time. Who knows? You may even lead your team to a championship! If you oon't have time to give to a team but want to r emain active , there are plenty of facilities available. Just across the river are a quarter mile track, tennis courts, baseball and softball diamonds , and other fields. Weight rooms are available In Pickering Hall and Weckesser Annex, and there are basketball courts available in the gym and behind Pickering and Evans Halls. Sk i trips are even offered . as gym classes. There are many sports _activities. For you observers, why not catch a Wilkes match or game one day when the Colonels are playing at home? Buses are usually available for rabid fans for away games. The Wilkes library has IJxx1 books and magozines. The Osterhout Free Library on Franklin Street has more selections to choose from. If you like to shop and you're bored with Boscov's, but you oon't have a car, buses leave from Public Square approximately every half hour for the Wyoming Valley Mal l. The trlp only costs 60 cents. The mall is much more extensive than any store within walking distance of the college. For !J:xx1 bargains on fresh pr oouce , there is a Far mer's Market in Public Square every Thur sday after I I a. m. Local far mers sell their fr eshlygrown and freshly- picked vegetables and fr uits , usually for lower prices than gr ocery stores charge. These are j ust a few suooestions for you to think over. Try out a few new things. Maybe one of them will be just the right way to oo:1 a little extra excitement to your life!

The King's College team started 1he game by scoring quickly, and then began taking cheap shots at the Colonels to keep them from scoring. The game was filled with fouls and penalties. With a little over a half-minute remaining in the game, the Colonels scored to send the game into overtime.

Cox. Command Sgt. Major in the Reserve Army, began his analytical lecture with a recounting of the periods of power held either by the democrats or the republicans. The Republicans have maintained a solid hold in the western continenta1 United States. Cox stated that only on three occasions did the democrats m~ to wtn a state in this region. These states were Texas twice, and Washington. Cox documented that Democrats are usua11y e1ected in Indiana, llllnois, and Iowa while the 1ast four e1ections in New Jersey ylelCEd Democrats. The District of Columbia, worth three electorial votes, repeated1y e1ects Democrats. · These references to Repub1ican contro1 i11ustrate Cox's statement that the tide is favorable in the running for the Republicans. Cox bel1eves that this trend will continue unless a disaster recurs. "With figures 11ke that any Republican could win - even Mondale." Cox said. According to Cox the increase in Democratic registration provides an illusionary figure, because in the presidental elections people usual1y oon't anow party affiliation to dictate their president1a1 c~ice. Cox exp 1ained that the news media, as well as many liberals, tend to express agitation that they associate with Reagan. He said those who consioor themselves liberals are busy writing articles about the mistreatment of the poor. He attributes the basis of increased undertones of Repub Hean favoritism in the black community to Mondale's white campaign. Cox established with numerous statistics derived from pol ls that Reagan is the best communicator, the best decision maker, and a dom lnant 1eader. "These are the things the people are voting for," Cox said. He thinks that some people, who don't even want Monda1e In the office will vote for him in the election as a protest vote against Reagan. He contends that most peop1e think they are better off tooay. "Even those who don't think the democrats ran out of ideas, want to stick with Reagan for four more years to find out what he can do." The dissertation was preceood by a discussion period which provided an opportunity for participants to discuss the lecture and related topics with Cox. Student Government -Discusses Vending Machine Issue . by Brian 1 Above- Homecoming K1ng Thomas MoQsell with escort Cathy Mccann. Below- Homecoming Queen Karen An<Jerson with · President Christopher N. Brefsetti. Photos by Mark Radabaugh W. C8hill The allocation and d1str1bution of the prof1ts from the campus vend1ng machines have become major issues over the past severa1 months. Unoor the old system, profits from the 5008 m~hines were sent to the finance office by the 5008 companies. Students from various clubs could then obtain neeCB1 funds upon request. Prof1ts from these machines have become quite substantial, and both the Student Affairs Committee and the Student Government Organization (S00) are striving to develop a better, more efficient system based on continuity and internal control. Members of soo have met several times to discuss possible alternatives to the existing system. While there have been many possible solutions discussed at these meetings, no system has been finalized. Ona solution disr.11ssro was the idea 01 equally distributing the profits from the various club machines. This would allow clubs with little or no income to increase their activity and to initiate projects which would otherwise not be possible. Another possibility of revenue distribution discussed was based on a point system. A club or organization would receive funds proportionate to club activity in hopes of getting the student bOOi more involved in positive group activity. One member of SOO suggested that all profits from the machines be distributed back into the student b!JOJet. This would allow the entire full-time stuoont bocty to share in the proms. There was also mention of allowing an accounting major to serve an 1nternsh1p by hand11ng the bookeeping of the funds under the supervision of an oovisor. .While the development of the new system is stil1 pending, al1 t 984 September and October profits wm be he1d in escrow at the finance office. �• PAGE . ... 4 • o O ...

Consider which candidate would provide the opportunity for anyone, regardless of income, to afford higher education. In a broader sense, consider which candidate would work to ensure a strong democracy. A true democracy provides individual freedom and equal opportunity for all people. Walter F. Mondale Is better qualified to guide America on these and other Issues. Mondale will not try to invade our personal lives with religious and anti-abortion legislature. Mondale, a minister's son, respects an individual's right to religious freedom, and therefore, opposes legislation which would infringe upon baste religious and civil freedoms. More accurately, Mondale would not concern himself with trivial issues such as school prayer when money for schools is being diverted to bulld bombs. Ronald Reagan's "recovery· has not touched all of America. Inflation is down, true, but Reagan's promise to lower unemployment drastically has not been fulfilled. Most blue-collar workers have no more job security now than they did four years ago. In addition, many have taken pay cuts. Also, it ts doubtful whether today's college graduate has better job prospects than the graduate of four years ago. Reagan policies are also directly responsible for this . country's Auge deficit. When he tool< off ice four years ago, Reagan compared the national deficit to a 67-mile high stack of $1000 bills. According to the New York Ttmes, Reagan has Increased that stack by 40 miles. This past Sunday, the New York Ttmes, along with several other major newspapers, endorsed Walter Mondale. The Ttmes cited three main reasons for not endorsing Reagan: "First, because of the way he has paid for our recovery, and his popularity: with the pain of mi11ions of people thrown out of work in the last four years and with the hundreds of billions of oollars Government must borrow in the next four. Second , because much of the rest of his oomesttc prqam is repugnont. Mr. R86gml has punished the poor and retreated from civil rights. He has, laudably, continued the deregulation begun by Jimmy carter. But the same Pres1<Ent who vows to get Government off people's ~s has recklessly pushed its nose Into the most private realms of religion and family life. Finally, and most important, because Mr. R88g8rl's dip lorn~, mostly ineffective, has also been dangerous. Not only has he failed to stabfltze the nuclear arms ro, but he has propelled It to new heights and ~s any plausible strategy for regaining control." 1 - While the Beacon and the New York Times have nothing in common other than an Old English masthead, this editor has always shared these sentiments.

Chaired by senior , Judy Groshardt , the committee was formed os a result of an open meeting held in October. At this session, approximately 1s students met with Professors Bradford Kinney, Michael O'Neill, Norma Schulman, and KJaus Holm , and suooested curriculum changes, including what some communication majors see as a need for more technical, "hands-on" courses instead of currently-required English courses. The committee has met twice ; both sessions were sparsely attended, w1th five communication majors meeting to discuss the present program and to propose a revised curriculum . Suggested changes include the possibility of offering academ ic credit for participation in extracurricular activities such as the ~ . ArooicoJa, Manuscript, the debate team, WCLH-FM, and the television station. Math Skills Added as Graduation Requirement , Last spring, Wilkes College added a math competency graduation requirement. This r equirement app iies to all students ( fr eshman and transfer ) who enter the College from this semester on. Specifically , before they may graduate from Wilkes, these students must give evidence that they have attained a· minimal level of mathematical under stand1ng and computational proficiency. Ther e are three ways in whicn a student can exhib it his or her mathematics competency: l ) Earn a scor e of 450 or higher on the math SAT test, 2) earn a score of soi or higher on the Wilkes College mathematics placement exam ( given dur ing or ientation) , or 3) earn a passing grade in any Wil kes College mathemat ics course. There is some con fusion about the last option. Coinci dent with the 1nsti tu tlon of the new r equ 1rement , the l"lathemet ics and Computer Sc ience Department began offering a new course, Math 84. Math 84 . is a r emedi al mathematics course, designed to review topics and skills which are part of pr e- col lege· mathemat ics curr icula. For thi s reason , it car r ies no college cred it and wi ll riot fulfill any maJor or core requirement. It will, however, satisfy the math competency requirement. For students without adequate high school math preperation , or for those whose skill ls are rusty, Math 84 may be the best place to start. It will serve as a gocd review , and will fill in gaps where earlier math preperation was lack ing. It must be emphasized that this requirement can also be satisfied by completing any math course. For most students , Math 84 is not appropr iate. Those who have completed one or two col lege preparatory mathematics courses in high school (e.g., Alg. I and A1~ l I and Geometry), and for whom th is knowledge is fair ly recent and fresh , will not profit fr om a remedial course. They shoutc take t"1ath i o1 or Math 150 or Calculus ( possibly preceded by Math 100 ). rn conclusion, Matr, 81 is des igned for a specific audience. !t is imper tant that .students start on the correct r ung of thei r mathematical 1adde:- . For some, that may be the first r ung, wnich, at wmes, is Math M. For others , trii s course wil! be too repetitious - they sr,ou ld start on a di fferent step.· Any member of the matr,ematics and computer science facu lty will be t"1appy to discuss tr,ese questions with indi vidual students. �Debate Team Wins The Wilkes College debate II union began its 1984-85 season !~ with multiple victories at i~ ( Clarion State University.

However, the r elationship between Adams and Wilkes Coi iege goes back further than that ; in fact , Adams has been a fam i 1iar face around campus since his Colonel football playing days. "My most memorable times at Wilkes occurred during my senior year , wher:i I dormed at Gore Hall ," r em inisced Adams. "I look back very fondly to the close fri ends that I had and the times we spent together." Besides being a four-year member of the Wilkes Col,lege Football team, Adams was also a Resident As-sistant ( R.A.) and Vice-President of his graduating class ( '77). "Being an R.A. and on the football team really kept me busy and didn't allow much ti me for other hobbies and interests ," admits Adams. Well , maybe there wasn't enough time in Adams' busy schedule for other hobbies, but there was certainly enough tlme for his other interests , especially in the line of love. "Meeting Jean , of course ,_was one of the .major highlights of my li fe ," said Adams. "Jean and I met in my sophomore year when her roommate was my freshman year roommate's girlfr iend ," concluded Adams.

The r eason for its almost totai anonym ity is that it has only been operational for one year. The studio is located on the second floor of Stark Learning Center. Dr. Bradford Kinney, who is in charge of the studio, had to practically "bui Id" the studio himself. When Kinney asked the college for the station , they told him that if he wanted it, he would have to accomplish the task himself. One year and half-a- million dollar s later , Wilkes had a "state of the art " television studio. Ki nney is excited about the fact that sometime in the near future , the studio will be ab le to broadcast over a channel provided by · Service Electric Cable. Studio engineer , Carl Brigida , said, "The studio could, in fact, brooo::ast over the criannel r ight now," but cannot due to a lack of students to operate the studio and to sacrifice the enormous amount of time needed to proouc.e telecasts. On the brighter side, that statement, Kinney aex1el'J that according to Ki nney , the studio WNEP, a local television station , has already produced a "video has accepted five students from viewbook .. wh ich will be used as Wilkes for internships.

PA6E ELEVEN A Really Big Man by Mark Tobi no Sophomore, Don Shaw, is truly a big man on campus. Shaw is the slrti keeper for the Colonels Have you seen this man? At 6- 7, most students would ·&!If that he ts just another basketball player recruited by Coach Bellairs. However, this is not the case. Hts 1"18ffle Is Don Shaw and he is the first-string plkeeper for the I 1-6- I Wilkes soccer team. Don, a former engineering major now majoring In mathematics, hos become the spiritual lemr of the Colonel defense this year. Hts size alone is 8flOUljl to influence any opposing forward charolno at the pl, and his deep, commanding voice bellowing "Keeper!" reminds you that althouljl speed kills, the size of Don Shaw seriously injures. In 18 games, Don has only had to make I06 saves, which is just under six saves a game. Now this might sound like relatively few saves to a soccer fanatic, but ~tually this Is a credit to the wr,.; In which Don controls his defense. If somoone Is not marked, Don wm Jet you and the net borl counties know. He gives more orders than a driJJ ser~t. His constant, commanding control of the defense has resulted In fewer chances for opposing players to score, and thus In fewer saves for Don. Don't get me wrong. Don ooesn't sit bu there and just order people around while he reeds Math 21 I and listens to Klss on the Walkman. Anyone who saw the Scrmton-WIJkes game, or more recer.tly the East Stroudsburg game, knows that when a save is needed, Don can be counted on. He has kept the Colonels in six games this year, with a spect~lar variety of saves. However, Don Is not all Mr. Concentration out there, either. Once, an opposing player remarked about Don's orange plie shirt, &lfing, "Punt the bal 1, you carrot." Don pleasantly turned to him and said, "I'm not a carrot, I'm a pumpkin." This mixture of humor and determination is what makes Don an asset in the nets. He understands pressure, and he knows when to relieve some of Sports Neglected by Homecoming work hard dur1ng the season and ooserve to have the appreciation and support of the alumni. The Wilkes soccer team is presently the only winning fall sport on campus and no r~ltlon was given while the team was on the field. Why couldn't more of the alumn1 have coma and watched the game? W11kes playoo East Stroudsburg University, the seventh-nmlced Division II team in the nation, and upset them. We al I ar~t d1splr,.;s to cheer on the football team because the alumni center everyth1ng -around football. Soccer is also a big sport on this campus, not to mention the only winning one. Homecoming should have included soccer in a more signmcant wr,.;. In t 8 games, Don has -recorded four shutouts, which ts just two shy of the school reoord. He has a ~tabl 1.22 pis against average with two games left in the season. Those of you who have not Im a ch8nce to sea this man in ~uon are strongly encouraged to att this Wednesday's match against K1ng's Coll~. home at 3:00 p.m. For Don and the rest of t team, this will be a big game, bec6us8 the lnter-C1 Championship is on the line. When the season ts over, Don gets a brief rest before t baseball seeson begins, when ts a pitcher for the Colonels. Last year, Don provided som key pitching as the baseball team im1evoo an t 8- 7 record and a brief MAC championship. No matter what the sport you can count on leim-ship support from Don Shaw on the field as wal J as off. He Is person who wants to succeed and to excell In everything he ooes, and 1t 1s because of this splr1 that the man is a pleasure to know: SOCCER SIDELIN-ES Why is it that when the alumni choose ·the date for Homecoming, they only consider whether the football team is plr,.;ing at home? I understand that the majority of the alumni who return attended WIJlces Coll0113 durtno the time when the football team was the best around, but that isn't a ~ enouQh reason to leave out the soccer team, the field hockey team, the volleyball team, and the cross country team. This weekend, the Homecoming festivities went smoothly and were the best I have seen in my three years at Wilkes, but why couldn't everyone have been included? I agree that Homecoming should center around a home football game and that the majority of the festivities should happen at halftime, but there is no reason _why the Alumni AssrelaUon shouldrl't oonslder the other sports. All the athletes at Wilkes College it. Although members of the If a weekend was chosen with cross country team have not all the sports in mind and there been running much this year, was st111 a schedule ronmct. I'm they stm could have bean sure the ~ would try to considered. have the contest moved to the If you were a member of the home field. I am t1Nare that this year's field hrekey team, you would faal Homecoming was scheduled sli~ted. The alumni scheduled ortotnally for the first weekend Homecoming without considering that the field hockey season In October and was then movoo would have air~ ended. It because ft fell on a Jewish would have been ntce for the · Ho1id!lv. Moving homecoming hockey t881"11 to be ab le to only benefited the football perform and show that they were -plr,.;ers and the alumni. worthy of support. I'm not &lfing this weekend was a flop, because it wasn't. What I am saytng ts that maybe in the future the alumni should consilB' picking adate when all the sports can be ·playing at home. I know this won't be an The volleyball team wasn't 8fSt/ task. but ff the alumni try even -on campus this past hard enough to work out a weekend, therefore, the team schedule with the athletic members could not be in oopartment and the stUdents, I'm attendance at Homecom Ing. That sure better arrangements can be m~. isn't fair. The athletes, the alumni, and all the other students should be able to enjoy HomaxJmino. Everyone should be constderoo and consulted to make Homecoming a success. After all, the athletes are the ones who participate ln those athletic events that the alumni come to sea.

On Wednesday, the Colonels traveled to Baptist B1ble to attempt to break the record. The Colonel booters were successful, post1ng a 2-1 vfctory. The Colonels played one of their worst games of the season. The Wflkes men couldn't get on track oofensively or offensively. The Wilkes booters opened the scoring midway through the f lrst half when Jeff Wertz scored on a free kick from 25yards out to give the booters a 1-0 halftime lEm. The Colonels continued to play sloppily at both ends and it caught up to them at the mldpolnt of the second half. A communication breakdown resulted fn a DefenoorgJal and a 1-1 score.

The course, which will be team-taught by seven faculty members from - five departments, will be coordinated by Dr . Frank Leib. Students may register for the class as a topics course in the nursing, business administration , history , sociology, communications, or literature programs, and will complete papers and receive credit in the department in which they registered, accordi:lg to Leib. Lecturing faculty will be Drs. Jean Dr isco11, Pat Heam an, Wagiha Taylor, Bruce Brown, and Norma Schulman, Mr . Theodore Engel, and Ms. Jean Steelman. "The idea for the program came ·out of a meeting of the Student Life Committee," stated Leib.

The candidates· foreign policy stands view the Soviets as an untrustworthy people, "evil," in Walter Mondale·s · terminology. Each man has a different approach on Mw to bring the Soviets to the bargaining table. Mondale wants to limit armaments through summit meetings and negotiations. Here is where Mondale contradicts himself. How can he negotiate a workable peace solution with an "evil" people? "Evil" people do not want, nor do they seek peace -- this does not accurately characterize the Russian people The Naz !s of WWII were evi I people; the Russ ians are not quite comparab le. If Mondale really believes what he has said, the American people can have no real hope for an everlast ing peace witr1 Mondale in the White House. Hope does not spring eternal under another Reagan term either. Reagan's plan for an end to the arms race involves gaining a decisive edge over the Sov iet Un ion before inviting them to the negotiate. How long will i t t ake for American scientists to devise a weapon to make all other weapons obsolete? Tr1at time may never come. There is no simple solution to the arms race, but Mondale an~ Reagan are headed in the wrong dlrection. The first world war resulted, in part, frorn a mil i tary build-up and an arms race among the major European powers. That war was intended to be a "war to end all wars ·· If there is one th ing tr1e politicians of the world should learn from world riistory, it should be th3t an arms race does nothlng but lead to a war, often a large-scale war. Comments on Hudock, Kanjorski , To the Editor: Repub 1ican congressiona 1 'candidate Robert Hudock and Democratic candidate Paul Kanjorski are looking for the same job, but it is evident they eoch have very different ireas about how to get votes and win an election. Robert Hudocl::. has chosen a strategy , which involves accusing his opponent, Paul Kanj orsk i, of numerous wrong ooings without giving any consideration to the obvious responsibility of furnishing proof. In fact, during a press conference HuciJck cal led Kanjorski "a crook from Nanticoke," and has failed to explain or substantiate the charge. This campaign strategy has resulted in both area newspapers. the Times Leader and the Citizen's Voice criticizing Mr. Huci:Jck's comment as being "indiscreet" and "a cheap shot" and this approach ooes not appear to be gettting Hudock any votes. Paul Kanjorski has decided his best chance of winning the November 6th election is to inform the public of his past deeds and accomplishments whic~ have benefited local communities and Luzerne County. Mr. Kanjorski has provided detailed accounting for all these past deeds , but Mr:_ . Hudock still insists there is some wrong ooing concerning them . One can only wonder why Mr . Hudock will not tell the public what the alleged crime is. Unless tie can Kanjorski will get the votes and win the election.

Karakash, whose career in educat ion, engineer ing and r esear ch has spanned 40 years , wi ll speak at Wilkes College's Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday , October 31 , at 8 p.m. The lecture is open to the public at no charge. Karakash , distinguished professor and Dean Emeritus at Lehigh University, is r ecognized by his colleagues both in the United States and abroad for his r esearch inter ests , w,,b ich have been both pioneer ing and var ied. Dr . Karakash views his primary role, however , as a teacher and has been constant in his commitmen t to the education of students both In academics and in eth ics. In a recent interview he said, "Education should prepare young people to become the provident custodians of earth and its peop le." His lecture entitled, "Education , Technology and Culture ," will deal with issues and problems facing -young peop le in today's society. Karakash has been at Lehigh University si nce 1946 as assistant professor of electr ical engineering. Although still a young man at that time , he already had made his mark on the world in a number of werys. He was born in Istanbul ofGreek par ents , and as a youth he r eceived international acclaim as an athlete in several sports. He was the Balkan Olymp ic javel in champion in 1935. The fol lowing year he came to the United States on a scholarship and earned the Bachelor of Science degree from Duke University and the Master's ~r~ from the University of Pennsylvan ia, where he was a Moore Fellow. A decooe ago , Lehigh honored h1m wlth the degree of Doctor of Engineering. In addition to his extensive teach ing and r esearch , he has ser ved as a translator in several languages , as a music critic, and as a writer of newspaper articles and editorials under pen names. He participated in the r esearch that led to the Electronic Numerical Integr ator and Calculator ( ENIAC), the prototype all -e.lectronic computer. He also worked on radar systems , microwave filter s · and sem iconductors. During the 1960s , he collaborated with phys1c1ans from Hahnemann Medical College on the design of mechanical hearts. Through it all he wrote and lectured extensively on education.

He became head of the Lehigh Department of Electr ical Engineering in 1956 , and ten years later assumed the rank of distinguished professor and deon of the college of Engineering. He was the fi rst member of the faculty to receive both the Hillman Award for advancing the inter ests of the univer sity, and the Robinson Awar d for outstanding serv ice. On Mery 1 of this year, Lehigh University dedicated a wing of the Robert Packard laboratory in Karakash's honor. The following is an excerpt from the program: "On a personal level he is kind and unassuming. Unostentatious in the extreme, he dr ives a beloved 196 Studebaker Hawk. His witty and philosophical turn of mind leaves for the world a rich collection of pithy quotations such as: 'The ar t of education cons1sts of helping peop le to both learn to contemplate and calculate -- not one at the expense of the other."' Associates on the campus know better than to say that Leh igh "trains" engineers. Upon hearing a r emar k such as that, Dean Karakash w111 be certain to explain that Lehigh ooes nothing of the sort. This univer sity , he asserts , "Educates men and women through engineer ing. " This is a typical Karakash view that results from his search ing , restless mind -- a remarkable jmlnd that challenges the conventional wisoom. Women continued from page one in professions," stated Leib, adding that this would be "a practical course. " If this interdisciplinary course is successful, according to Leib , Women's Studies could be expanded into a full minor concentration available to all students. Another inter disciplinary topics course , "An Introduction to Religious Studies," is also planned. Leib , who would coordinate that course , observed that the course was suooested because, "Wi lkes once had students interested in preparing for the ministry who have since more support and better advising about car eers, marraige, and specifically about women's problems that didn't seem to be touched on." Lei b commented, "We were also told that sever al very fi ne women students left Wilkes to (}'.) to schools where there was a women's studies program." "It seemed that there are a number of undergraduates who would like to see a full women's studies program ," noted lei b, acxting, "On the other hand, there was a certain amount of skepticism on the part of the · administration and faculty members to maintain support." "The new president .( Dr. Christopher Breiseth) is very interested in interdisciplinary programs and in liberal arts programs that have a clear use neglected." Faculty been members who would participate if the course were offered are Ors. John Natzke, Robert Stetten, John Simmons, Thomas Kaska, and Mr. James Berg. BART IKOWSKV JEWELERS.

Four Wilkes College students were called upon to comment on Sunday night's debate between President Ronald Reagan and Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale, for the WNEP channel 16 news cameras. Dr. David Leoch was first contacted in order to assemble interested students from various majors for the news spot. Tim Wi II iams. Randa Fahmy . Ray Hassey , and Cress Shallers were chosen to meet in the Annette Evans Alumni House to view the debate and speak with WNEP reporter Dan Fiorucci. After the debate. the students were asked to express their opinions on the topics discussed and on what they felt was most important. The students felt that the debate held strong points from both sides while each observed weaknesses in certain areas. Senior history major, Tim Williams described the event as experience that al students should be lucky enough to be a part "an of." The two-minute news tape was aired later in the evening following a football game that went into overtime, and twice again the following day.

Monsen feature editor to people when they've tossed a few back , because they usually are too out of it to put up a front. You can usually get a person to spill their true feelings when they're fl oating above you. The other extreme of these party monsters are the people that drink a few and the alcohol goes stroight to thei r muscles. You· JI see some of the most idiotic fights over such important things as bump ing into somebody', "hey, that's my gir !friend you're talking to, " and "don't look at me I ike that , buddy !" It always cracks me up when this happens. To see two people who are friends during the week get into a shoving match over something that, to them, wou ld be enough cause to call the White House and tell Ronnie to push the button, is j ust too much. I guess partying li ke maniacs really turns otherwise nice people into actual maniacs. It's that dr~ macho thing, I guess, that guys fight over when they're at a party. I think guys believe that if they get into a fight, the women wil l flock to them. I don't know too many girls that want to hang out smali fee , partici pate in a ~ excuse to drink called "Happy Hour ." I could never figure out why they call it "Happy Hour," because although you usually get very happy , it lasts for more than an hour. Maybe they shou Id call it "Happy Hours" or "Stay Away From Here Because You're Bound To Get Happy and Make a Complete Fool Of Yoursel f." These "Happy Hour " events are a dangerous thing. You pay a r easonable pr ice and drink whatever and however much you want · or don't wont. ( This usually results in a pretty fine headache come morning.) The most dangerous th ing about "Happy Hour" is not the drinks themselves , but how you drink them and with whom you drink. You wal k into the place and you get a drink and bang, it's gone. You get another one and you say "th is is great , I don't have to pay for these so I might as well take advantage of it." (Alcohol has a way of going to your memory and maki ng you forget that you paid to get in.) So you usually end up dri nki ng·in rap id succession to the point that even water seems to give you a buzz. One of the main ingr edients in consuming too much for your own good is the fr iends you go with. "Happy Hour " sets off a spark in a lot of my fr iends, myself included, that you wouldn't believe.

For the past fourteen years , Sophia, known as Sophie, has been employed by the Wilkes College Dining Hall. "Meeting and getting to know the new students is why I like working at the cafeteria," admits Sophie, acx:!ing , "I really enjoy the line of work." However , Sophia dres have one qualm about her duties at the cafeteria , "I like to do a neat j ob of preparing the food. you know. but I oon·t enjoy cutting the chocolate bavarian cream pie because the graham cracker crust 1s just too messy!" For those who assume Sophia just sits around all day chatting with students, you're wrong. Sophia is quite the busy woman on campus. Some of her duties include "cleani ng up the meal line , preparing the desserts so that they appear appealing, wiping the tabels and whipping up tomorrow 's jello," stated Sophia. There are, of course , days at the cafeteria when out-of-the-ordinary events occur . such as the "famous f cm fight of 1984." "I did not think that the food fight was funny at all," said Sophia, "I was just sitting there and all of a sua1en I saw food flying !l:ross the cafeteria - - to tell you the truth , I didn't know what was happening." In regard to the students at Wilkes, Sophia commented, "In general, the students at Wllkes College are a pretty nice group of kids, but there are some students that have no consideration whatsrever , they leave their tables dirty with empty glasses and bowls of focx:I." When asked how the students of Wilkes College tooay compare with Wilkes students of a decade ago, Sophia responded, "From my observation in the cafe , there really hasn't been any significant change.

" When Sophia is not working at the cafeteria. she likes to relax at her South Wilkes-Barre home. "I like to cook and bake , but I'm certainly no Julia Child," claims Sophia. "Also I like to watch baseball and football on TV, along with 'Dynasty' and gameshows," she aoild.

Openly Defying tre.w. Drinking Rules arnpus Openings Marred and a 'Kidnapped coach' By Mass Arrests, C Drink-ins A.DISON, WI (CPS)--Students at the Urtiversity of Wisconsin-Madison, Joined _ by disgruntled students from across the state, staged a mass "drink-in" on the steps of the state capitol last week to protest efforts to raise the .drinking age there to 21 . • "We, as students, understand that we and our peers will not stop drinking because the law dictates that we do," proclaimed Dan Katz, legislative affairs director for the Wisconsin Student Association, which represents. student governments from campuses around the state. policies of new drinking The defiance at the expressed by Katz and other students day·s Wisconsin drink-in, where the if we can·t take motto was "F**k ·em a drink, " has been echoed by students around the nation over the last month. While some experts predicted tough new campus drinking regulations nationwide would cause some students unease as they learned new ways to socialize, it appears that many ·students are flaunting the regula t ions open ly and at times even outwardly rebel I ing aga inst them. At North Carolina State Univers i ty, for --instance, state alcohol contro l-. agents recently busted 36 students for liquor violations dur ing the first • weekend in September, and arrested " 47 more violators the · following weekend. Indiana makes random · checks in a desperate attempt to enforce t~,e new alcohol policy on tnat campus, where freshmen supposedly qelieve "that you come to IU to get drunk," says Dean of Students Michael Gordon. 1mportant "Some very people, Including some students, staff, and faculty, are willing to say, 'Ha, (the campus alcohol pol icy) is all a very funny joke,"' Gordon complains That's evidently the feeling of some Notre Dame . , students, who last summer "k 1dnapped" a bust of famed football coach Knute Rockne to protest the scr,oo!'s drinking policy. Al 1)ng with a color picture of t r: e bust a nearby cornf ortably tanning at newspaper has beach , the Notre Dame student note warning received ransom a D C D ~(E(fill(;J that the Rockne sculpture won't be returned "ti 11 the students have their beer." Problerris and complications with alcohol · policies are also plaguing such schools as Fort Hays State University, Arizona State, St. Bonaventure, and New Mexico, to name just a few . "Alcohol-related problems are obviously taking up more time of campus law enforcement agencies these days, and alcohol abuse is a greater problem, or at least recognized more," says Dan Keller, director of Campus Crime Prevent ion Programs and chief of public safety at tne University of LOU iSV i 11 e, "We have two or three major things happening at the same time that are making the alcohol problem .greater, or at least more visible on a lot of campuses," he explains. F?r one thing, "students who may have been drinking legally off campus are now transferring their drinking habits to campus where new policies ma.ke drinking illegal." In addition, "many states are now raising their drinking ages to 21, creating displaced drinkers who have no place to .drink except on ,campus," he says. Finally, Keller notes, "alcohol abuse has replaced drug abuse as the number-one student ber,avior problem. , And all these probl~ms combined are really making alcohol _ an issue at many colleges and universities." The whole "get tough" attitude toward student drinking, some believe, is only making the matter worse at many schools. "Any _ time you trim back people's rights and opportunities, there will be some reactions," says Jonathan Burton, executive director of the National lnterfraternity Conference. "The whole movement might have been much more eff ect_ive if the campus alcohol education programs had been given more time to picl< up speed," he theorizes. "First comes education, then minds are changed, and then legislation . · can be enacted with everyone's fuil support." · And while the new campus alcohol crackdown is preoccupying pol ice, frustrating administrators, and angering students, it may not be having . any effect on what it was designed to prevent: alcohol-related accidents. �t'AUt ltN Volleyball rops 2 Out Of 3 At present, the Board of Trustees is undertaking a land US6Je survey of the land the college owns. It is hoped that the board and the survey can come up with a location to build an estimated $3.S million gym complex. Realistically looking at" this , a $3.5 million gym complex will be fantastic when it is completed, but the funding for the complex, will take a while, and so will the construction of the complex. Therefore , it is up to us to find places other than the gymnasium to workout and r elax. You as students of Wilkes College are quite fortunate in that you live in the city and are very close to a lot of athletic facilities. The Jewi~h Community Center(JCC) and the YMCA are in the college's back yard, so to speak. You can join the JCC as a college student for one semester or two no matter what your religion is. The JCC bases their college membership price on the amount of time we spend in this area. Also in our area are the 2 1st Century Health Spa, The Kingston Tennis and Raquetball Center , many kar ate clubs and a ballet school on Main Street. Also located on Main Street is Chaucko's Bowling Lanes. They are also open to co~ students. They don't make you join for the whole year , when they know you will only be here for seven or eight months. The center has a heated swimming pool, gumnasium, weight training equipment and bowling lanes available to its members. · The YMCA is also ava1labe to students. The YMCA offers a variety of courses such as aerob ics , exercises classes , yoga and non athlet ic classes for a smal I fee. The YMCA's sw imm ing pool, gymnasium and weight training equipment are also available to members. Beh ind the square on North Washi ngton Street is the Catholic Youth Center. The CYC is available on specific nights for pick up games and open play of many spor ts. We have two parks at our diposal also. Kirby Park is a great place to jog, to paddle boat, to play tennis. soccer, baseball, football, frisbee,etc. Dur1ng the winter months , Kirby Park can be great for sledding or trayi ng( a Wilkes Co liege favorite) and cross country skiing. Coal Street Park is the other park within walking distance. If you walk south on Northampton Street and turn left when you reach the Stat ion Resturant you can't miss it on your right hand side. This park has tennis courts. open fieds, baseball fields , and swimming, all availab le in the summer months. During the winter the park has a sem i - indoor ice skat ing ri nk. And finally , right here on cam pus we have a well l 2-equipped weight r oom in Weckesser Annex. A multi - million dollar comp lex will no ooubt ser ve a maj or1ty of our needs but until that time, check into these facilities. You can get some goo:l deals because you are a college student.

XXXVIII No. 5 October 9, 1984 Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Reported .Cases of Rabies Rises at Alarming Rate by Mark Radabaugh photography editor Reported cases of rab1es 1n Pennsylvania have jumped from a I 0-year average of 38 to this year's 245 cases acc.ording to State Epidemiologist Bernard Healey. "Rabies moved in from Maryland" said Healey, who is also a part time Wilkes Professor. "We feel that it's a migration of rabid wild animals from the ,· south." The greatest concentration of rabid animals is in the south and central portions of the state but it is rapidly spreading into this area. Slnce there ls no known method to stop the spread of rabies among wild animals Mr. Healey stated "We just have to sit back and hope that everybody listens to our advice [concerning the treatment of rabies) ." Rabies is carried in the saliva and is transmitted when an infected animal bites another Rabies affects the brain causing radical changes in the animal's behav ior. Normally passive animals often become vicious and may attack larger animals 1nclud1ng people. Anyone bitten by an animal should immediatly clean the wound with large amounts of soap and water and contact a doctor as soon as possible. If practfCl'.ll, the animal should be confined so that a determlnBtion may be ·made as to whether the an1mal 1s rabld. Symptoms of the virus usually occur within two to eight weeks and lnclude headache, nausea, and, in the later stages, hydrophobia (fear of water) A va,--cine is available for rabies but it must be g1ven before the onset of any symptoms. Once the disease has passed into the brain it is almost always fatal. There 1s no known cure, and unfortunately there is little hope for one in the near future. Pets are very susceptible to 1nfect1on and pet owners are urged to keep their pets' booster shots for rabies current. According to area vetrenarian Dr. Paul Kutish, rabies booster shots are needed yearly for most pets. Anyone w1sii1ng further 1nformat1on should contact the Pennsylvania Department of Health at 800-692- 7254. i='hoto t>v Eric S.

The biggest loser in November will not be Walter Mondale or President Reagan - it will be the American people. Both men, at times, appeared deserving of a four-year For the first time in the l 984 campaign, 1"1ondale presented himself well while Reagan, previously considered a "shoo-in," occasionally found himself in a hole. The President was forced to play the unfamiliar role of underdog Whether this is a sign of growing Mondale strength or a rare moment of Reagan weakness remains to be seen. We, as voters, are forced to choose between a champion of ·'big business" who residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. At other times the reduced inflation and a man who claims he can reduce the deficit candidates were very vulnerable. and increase government spending on welfare and other related Mondale's strategy centered on the deficit problem, and it certainly is a problem. Unfortunately, too many current voters do programs (including aid for college students). It is a shame that the all-critical education issue is not given not care that the nation's financial situation will reach critical due attention by the panel or by the candidates tr1emse1ves. Even proportions for future generations. in his defense-oriented budget , Reagan misses a central poi nt.

Recently, students at Brown University petitioned for the school to include a new question on their stuoont council election ballot. This question asked whether students want the campus infirmary to stock cyan ide pills, so that in case of a nuclear attaclc , they would have a choice: Death by suicide or by nuclear fallout. The students explained the intention of the petition was to br ing the real ity of nuclear war to the attention of the student bcxty and have them examine their own feelings on the situation. We asked this of the Wilkes Coll~ campus anl received mixed r~tlons. Some of the answers included,"We should have a choice ," "Suicide is a sin," "I'd r ather decloo to d1e In my own home then have Reagan decide where ," and other var ied r eoctions. Randa fahmy- I feel that if and when a nuclear attack occurs noone knows the consequences or the outcome of what will happen . Why invite people to commit suicide or prematurely die If it is not necessary. I feel that giving students a choice Is unnecessary and absurd. with my friends then tak"e the coward§ way out. I don't believe in suicide as an escape anyway . Pat Flynn- Yes, it's up to the Individual to decide . ft should be available for students who want to make that choice .

If it goes into oouble overtime I take that as a sign from heaven not to oo work that night. After three years of college you become a master at justifying not stu(fying. Cleaning your room 1s a !JXX1 excuse, as is calling .your parents. Although college students are experts at creating excuses, we are also masters at working under pressure. When work has to be done, like having a ten-page paper due in five minutes, it's as !JXX1 as written, typed and proofrea:l ( usually accompanied by a gr~ that mirrors the amount of time spent working on it). Being a successful college student by ooing the least work possible is an art that not everyone can master. Some people actually oo spend hours upon hours studying, and man , do I envy them . At least they know what to oo with their time. 1 Yrit• fer O.tilils •n• SELLING to give their tests? If we didn't put off stu(fying until the very minute before the test, for more "important" things such as the the "Trouble With Tribbles" ep isooe of Star Trek or the "Ralph Fails His Physical and Ttlinks He's Gonna Die" episooe of the Honeymooners, we might not all walk around campus with that "I know I just failed that test" look on our fooes. If procrastination were a federal offense, the nation's prisons would be filled with college students. How many times have you sat oown to stu(fy and said to yourself "this time I'm really going to oo it?" If you're anything like me, you've oone it thousands of times. But as you probaly know, no sooner oo you crack the book than a friend you haven't seen in five minutes is at the ooor looking for someone to shoot the breeze with. There · goes your stu(fying time. College students who have to stu(fy are the most hospitable people you'll ever run into. They'd talk to a fish in the river to avoid studying.

Water Supply Affects.Population by Eric S. Gundry news editor Photo by Rebecca R. Dymond Dr. Micheal Case and Dr. Brian Redmond in the Will<es College water quality testi ng lab. -E and ES Department Expands to PrOtect Community 0)" Reboooo R Dymond staff writer The Wilkes College Earth and Environmental Science Department is plann ing to expand its scope of activities beyond academics, According to Dr. · Redmond , associate chairman of the department, community services wi 11 be increased with the addition of lab equipment to the water quality lab. The new apparatus, intended for a m1crobiological laboratory , will r equ ire a separate area from the existing laboratory , wh ich is devoted to inorganic parameters, said Dr. Redmond. Redmond explained that a greater concern has been placed on water quality for human consumption since the outbreaks of filar.di.a Jamb)ia in northeastern Pennsylvania. The deaths attributed to the giard1a cyst created such signi ficant impact that it prom pted Wi lkes Col lege to provide as much information about waterbor ne diseases as possible. "If Wilkes College was in the position on Dec. 26 that is proposed for th Is new lab. we could have provided · accurate analysis of water samples in a timely fashion and provided information to DER much more r apidly,"said Dr. Case,associate professor of earth and env ironmental sciences. Dr . case explained that actions of the Department of Environmental Resources ( DER) wer e hindered by time wasted in the constant monitoring of water provided by the U.S. Environmental Protection ~ncy ( EPA). According to case. the oo:iitions to the lob, consisting mainly of micro-centrifuges used in the preparation of samples, and microscopes, are estimated at $50,000 . This initial cost , to be funded by fereral and state grants, will provide a self-supporting lab. The prelim inary annual oper ating bu()'Jet expects a $60 ,000 - a- year cost for on(J)lng operations. Th1s w111 be supported by annual grants and fees from contracted services Dr . Case , who will direct the proposed independent microbiological water quality lab, explains that the grants prov ide dedicated space and equipment to oo the job efficently but it is the faculty of Wilkes College that are willing to commit their talents as trained scientists. Dr. Redmond stated that not ·only would the microbiological water quality lab prov ide adequate / survei lance of the giardia problem ,'but it would also aid in the monitoring of other related foreign water See water pg.9 See related article this page The outbreak of Giardiasis ls rem1nfscent of the epidemic of typhoid fever that ripped through the Wilkes-Barre area fn 1889. The Typhoid epidemic began after a period of heavy r ain and over 650 people contracted the disease. Of these, over 50 died. Last year only eight of Pennsylvania's 12 million residents became ill, and none of them have d1ed. Of the eight that contracted the disease, seven are r eported to have aquired the disease outside of the United States of America. Both Giardiasis and Typhoid are water-born diseases, and can be traced to mountain r eser vo1rs fed by polluted feeder streams. These streams pick up the bacteria after heavy rains. The number of typhoid victims has decreased drast1cally since that time. with the oovent of chlorinated water supplies. This along with sewer control has helped to control the Typhoid bacteria as well as other health hazar ds. Chlorine has been used in water supplies since the early 1920's. The symptoms of the disease include heooaches, anorexia, and fever. The treatment is medication and lots of r est. Theatre Reply In The Works by Er ic S. Gundry news editor A counter proposal for the operat ion of the Dorothy Dicl< son Darte Center for the Performing Arts has been constructed by members of the Will<es College Theatre Department. The proposal was written by Dr. Micheal O'Neill , Director of the Theatre , in consultation with Bruce Pha1r, Technical Coordinator of the CPA, and Dr. Thomas Kasl<a, Chairman of the Language and L1terature Department. O'Neill describes the cxx:ument as a "compromise incorporati ng some of the ideas of the Dean of Development, R!chard Char Jes... Although the cxx:ument has not yet r ecieved a formal answer . O'Ne111 sa1d, '.'I t is my impression that the oocument which we proposed has been r ej ected." O'Neill described the changes the counter proposal hoped to accomplish as, "including an increase in the respons1b111t1es of Bruce Phair , in order to put on paper the worl< which he alr~ in the Theatre. This would also give him a little more Sfly in the ooes �PAGET\tlO 1£i11JID®l1Ji\1Jj Th~ separation of the Communications Department from the Department of Language and Literature is long overdue. The growth in number of communicat ions majors provides ample reason for reconsideration of the present situation. As the proposed department split nears real1ty, a change in the course requirements for a communications major should also be considered. People opposed to a change believe It would "bastardize" the liberal arts by selling-out to the current trend toward the technical fields. However, there are also people, mostly students, who see no need for the current engl ish requirements for a major in communications. Both views represent polarized views, most likely formulated out of fear. Those opposed to a change in the status quo are afraid of the relegation of the liberal arts to a trivial level. Some students in favor of a curriculum change dread the upper-level english courses and enter them with a defeatist attitude. Perhaps a more moderate approach can bring about the best communications curriculum. Undoubtedly, a sound proposal can be formulated to satisfy both faculty and students. Whether a communications student realizes it or not, liberal arts courses are a crucial element in his or her education. This holds true of any student of any major. Professionals in the communicat ions industry will l ist the abilities to think, read, and write well as the most important ingredients for a successful career. , Liberal ar ts courses serve to nur ture a student's ablility to read, write, and th ink. Because the present commun ications curriculum is laden with engl ish requirements, we feel that a restructuring should be considered. The following proposal would, we believe, satisfy all parties and still provide a strong curriculum: Course(s) Total credits required to graduate with a major in Communications: USPS 832-080 Third Floor Student Center Wilkes-Barre, PA Wilkes College Student Newspaper Permit No. 355 P.ublished weekly during the fall and spring semesters excepting scheduled breaks and vacation periods.

(CPS)-- A college education continues to be a big help in getting a job, according to a newly-released report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS). As of March, 1984, the unemployment rate among co I lege graduates averaged 2. 7 percent , compared to 7.2 percent for high school graduates and 11 .6 percent for workers with an eighth _2rade education or less, tf,e report shows. The unemployment rate for college grads th is year, moreover, r epresents a significant drop from the 3.5 percent in 1983. and from the 3.0 percent in 1982 , notes BLS spokesman Rick Dedens. Black female graduates show an even higher employment rate, according to the stucty. which shows that 88 percent of all black women grads hold jobs. Among white female grads , 77 percent are now employed. And among male graduates, both wh ite and black , 95 percent are active in the labor force. Since "we oon't really ask people their motivations or rea50ns for being employed, " the BLS's Dedens says, the report ooesn·t explain the increases in labor force part1c1patlon among women and blacks. College graduates make up a majority of the wor kers in most managerial and professional fields, as well as the bulk of workers in technical and sales occupations. Among professional occupations - - health and medical services , !aw, teaching, engineering, math, and computer services - - college graduates comprise 78 percent of the work force, the report reveals. In ao:lition, college graduates make up 43.S percent at all executive, administrative, and managerial jobs, 36 percent of sales positions, and 33 percent of all technical occupations. . For the third consecutive year, the number of college graduates in the labor force rose by more than a million, the report also shows, 600,000 of whom were women. Women graduates. in fact, now comprise 38 percent of all workers with four or more years of college , compared to 32 percent in 1970 Over the same perioo, the report notes, the number of women graduates who work-rose from 61 percent to 78 percent. WCLH Wins News Award WCLH-fm, the collegeowned and stuoont-operated radio station, won the Professional News l"ledia Association ( PNMA) of Northeastern Pennsylvania Outstanding Broaocasting Award th1s summer. PNMA gives the annual award for excellence in news reporting.

More than thirteen counties participated in this year's contest. This marks the third year WCLH-fm has won the award. Thomas McGuire, station manager. and Dr. Bradford L.

AVA/l.4Bl£ NOIYI N6Uom,1 Compony looking for Distributors or Deolers to hondle Energy Monogement Systems, High Income potentiol, smoll inventory ~@~~ BOSTON, MA ( CPS) - - By the time tr,e babies born this year get to college, they may have to pay $45,000 to $180,000 for their degrees and face a huge post-graduate debt, according to a recent accounting firm study. "We've witnessed an increase of more than 330 percent in tuition and required fees over the past 1S years in the public sector alone ," says Clar k Bernard , cr,ai rrnan of higher education planning for Coopers and Lybrand , which conducted the coliege costs study for the American Association of State Colleges and Universities ( AASCU) If such rapid tuition increases continue through the turn of the century , as many financial experts expect, "families who r,ave a child triis year will probab ly have to spend $45,000 for a public college education in 18 years, " Bernard says. The cost of sending a child to a private college, moreover, will run from $140,000 to $180,000, the study predicts. Currently, the cost of attending a public college averages $i5,000, Bernard says, while four years at a private institution runs about $37,000 A recent University of Wisconsin study, Ostar says , shows that today's average college student alreacty has a debt of $8200 upon graduation. Compounding high tuition rates is the federal student aid programs· shift from giving students money thr.ough grants to greater dependence on loan programs. Two decades ago, Ostar recounts, about 70 percent of all federal student aid was in the form of grants and other awards. Today, 70 percent of all aid money ism loans which students must repay after graduating. If tuition rates continue to soar and the balance between grants and loans remains lopsided, he warns, "a student's ability to purchase consumer goods , a car, clothes -- just the things it takes to get started in life -- will be seriously impaired." And future college students focing such momentous debts "may wel 1 be influenced in what kind of career they go into based on how well it will help them repay their loans, rather than choosing the field they really want to~ into." The teaching field, he notes, could be "drastically" affected by big education debts, as more and more graduates are forced to work in the private sector, where salaries are significantly higher.

This is not the case with Mr. Robert Paustian. A one-time library assistant as a student at the University of Missouri, Paustian noted, "I worked my Wftf up" to become the director of the Eugene S. Farley Library, which he sees as "one of the premier libraries in this part of Northeast Pennsylvania." After answering an advertisement in the Chronicle of Higher Education. Paustian was hired and beg6n work on September 10. He now oversees personnel management, poliey development, bUQJrting, long-range planning, and grant funds. "We're always in the process of evaluating all library services and operations," he explained. "One of the things we're ooing now is implementing the automated library system," Paustian explained. According to the new director, this system will connect terminals in the library to a Hewlett Pockar'd computer in the Stark Learning Center. "so that students, focu lty, and staff can look at the library's biblicq-aphical records, and also at materials ·external to the library." Paustian noted that eventually, "If you have a microcomputer, you could l'X:CeSS the library's computer and find out what books we have that you'd be interested in."· · Although new to Wilkes CollefJ', Paustian is familiar both with this computer-oriented system and with libraries. "I attended a workshop last winter on the automated library system, 'aoo the University of Missouri at Kansas City ( where he was assistant library director) already had its · own automated library system ," he explained, ao:iing, ''I've worked in libraries for years off and on." In crl:lition to his library experience, Paustian brought to Wilkes a wealth of accmmic knowleo;J8. After rece1ving an undergraduate degree from the STUDVfN6 . .. liff f'tHAI.. f<Ot,1T1£R ... University of Missouri in foreign language with minors in art history and philosophy, the new director earned graduate ~rees from that university and from the University of Kansas in library and -informational sciences and linguistics, respectively. Paustian has also taught English as a foreign l6fl9Uage, studied at the University of Toronto in canada, and taken courses in aesthetics and philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in West Oermany. Explaining his reasons for coming to Wilkes, Paustian observed, "I think Wilkes College provioos excellent learning opportunities for students here. It's important not to confuse size with (JJSlity; this is a very prcq-essive institution in many ways." · He continued, "The president was certainly a foctor in my coming here. · He's very supportive of the library; the library enjoys a lot of support from the administration.

I t ~ fact, the record is opt have that raw , energetic well-proouced and on the who le, rock sound but lnstlB! has a a fairly !Jxx1 record. But it lacks "new wavish" sound. the sound that Elvis fans have I guess Elvis is changing (J)tten used to - - the sound that with the times, but I hope for sets Elvis apart from all the his sake that his fans are (J)ing other bands around today. through the same changes. Songs like "Room With a Number" and "Inch By Inch" are well written, but because of the electronic drums and over-dubbed synthesizers, they really oon't &t,/ too much about the musicians as far as talent (J)es. Today it seems that all a musician hos to oo is push a button and out of the amplifiers blasts a sound that is almost impossible to proouce without tooay's technolCWJY. Many audlophfles may lfke this type of sound, but it takes the human feeling out of the music. The simplicity in Elvis' music has been replaced by a lot of electronic nothino. and for this reason the album is not easily understcxxt However, there are some very cool tunes in this work. "The Only Flame in Town" is a g:xict tune with a danceable beat behind it. It's a song that describes one of Elvis' lovers who feels that she is In the palm of his hand. Elvis tells us that ,,_.,, ~Joseph Mmnourian staff writer Summertime in the music Industry fs often filled wfth surprises and disappointments. This past summer lived up to that trooit1on In a bland way. The "blandness" comes from the music industry itself and its penny-pinching ways, by insisting that year-old albums such as She's So unusual by Cyndi Lauper, and SQoc1s by Huey Lewis and the News, can still generate hits. Obviously, it's cheaper to proouce one album with four or five hits than it is to proouce five albums with one hit. This is so with albums that are on the charts for a year to eighteen months. The benefit from this new strateg)' is that we can buy albums with four or five hits ( after all, $8.39 is a lot of money for a "one-song album"). The side effects that we have to suffer are a high burnout foctor and suppressed creativity on the part of the musicians. When an album is busy making big bucks on the charts, it preempts scheduled releases. r~~ For example, Boston's first album broke all sales records for its time, much to the suprise of Epic Records. Epic ordered the band bock Into the studfo only two months after the first album release, yet waited over three years to release the second album. Epic learned that a premature release of the second album , Don't Look Brek, would hurt the sale of the first album. That move killed the band. Don't Look Brek sounded too much like the first album. Meanwhile, CBS has announced a price hike for five "superstar" new releases. They include Billy Joel , Paul McCartney, Barbara Streisand, Pat Benatar ( Chrysalis) and .. Culture Club (Virgin), and will sell at a mere $9.98 suooested retail price. CBS blames this on the "steooily rising cost of manufacturing and marketing of records and tapes" ( how many times have we heard that?). Five selections will be released on chromium dioxide tape, a higher grade that will be useless if you oon't have a deck ooaptab le to Cr02 tape. St i II , - for $9.98 , it better sound like Boy ~rge is tumbling for me In my living room ( why oo I have ooubts? ). Note: the reader should keep in mind that this and future articles are intended to preview new material and report on new trends in the business. It is not intended to be a critical review on artistic output. Music is, after all, what music ooes for the listener. David Bowie: Tonigbl **** Just about every Bowie fan expected a different direction from this album. It seems Bowie is always aheoo of the music scene. Just listen to "China Girl" . or "Modern Love," from Let's Dance, and try to remember how different it sounded eight months 8(J), and then compare it to tcxtay's top ten. Even Bruce Springsteen is using drum mochfnes now. 'let's Dance" fits right in with "She Bop", "Cover Me", and "Let's Go Crazy". Far be it from Bowie to be trendy. Tonight has a "blusler ... more relaxed sound ; the drum machine was replaced by a three- piece percussion section, although the snare drum rides a little fast. (One of Bowie's secrets is not to play with the same musician twice.) Stevie Ray Vaughan, rated guitar player of the year by Guitar Player: magazine was this isn't true at all; as a matter of fact, he ls very much in love with her when he is with her , but when he's on the road away from her, he feels that she's not "The Only Flame in Town." This song is the type of tune that many of us in college can relate to. These are the songs that make the album, but the others are lacking something that listeners are used to hearing from Elvis. If you haven't heard the album, maybe you should. Then you may understand and feel that something is locking in the music. Another fine tune , both lyrical ly and musically , is a song entitled "Home Truth." It's a song that describes pain. How many times have you kissed your boyfriend or girlfriend only to feel that something has changed? It's an empty kiss, a kiss without feeling, which leads you to think that the kiss is not the only empty thing - - so is the relationship. This is the feeling Elvis experiences and wants to convey to his audience. Other gooo tunes are "Peoce In Our Time," a sentiment which we al I can hope for, and "I Wanna Be Loved," which is packed with emotion. replaced by carlos Alomar. You miaht remember Alomar from Robert Plant's Burning Down One Sioo. Keep an eye out Rock 107 pliJY this one to ooath , sandwiched between songs by Ratt and Krokus. Also, the twelve inch-single of "Blue Jean" is pressed on limited edition blue vinyl for those of you who are into Jim ited edition presses. U2:The Unfilcoettable wm £.ice **** I Different bands usually have their own wey of writing, most of which is oone on the rmt This is why bands that churn out three albums in four years usually write a lot of boo music. Loverboy, for example, (I know I'm (J)ing to draw flock) u~ the same hook in every single they release. That's why "Hot Girls in Love" sounds like "Working for the Weekend" which in turn sounds like "Queen of the Broken Hearts" which sounds 1ik.e "Nothing's (J)nna Stop You Now." · It's ironic that poor sales of "Nothing·s Gonna Stop You Now" halted the scheduled release of their new album. U2, on the other hand, lays the drum and bass tracK while Bono ( the lead singer) walks through war-torn Belfast. Upon entry to the studio, Bono begins to sing whatever comes to mind. Then the music is scraped and the drum, bass, and guitar parts are laid around the vocals. Inspired by the revenge and senseless violence of a war that has outlived half a oozen generations of soldiers, U2 is the soul music of the 80's. B.B. King once said "you've (J)t to pay the dues before you play the blues." "The unforgattable Fire" is provocative as it mourns, cries, and bleeds.

Eyerman _ sports editor Would you leave the sun, the b~h. the bikinis, and the atmosphere of Florid6 to go to college in the cold and damp of northeast Pennsylvania? Well, that's exactly what Carl Sosnowski did. Carl is big, blonde and a member of the 1984 ..Wilkes football squad. Carl's history at Wilkes College is · one_ of excitement and pain. Carl first came to Wilkes in 1979 as a business major from Coral Springs, Florida. He chose Wilkes College over offers from Tenessee Tech, the University of Florida, and Auburn . "I picked Wilkes because I knew the~~. Rollie Schmidt, and the program , and because I hoo relatives in this area," said Sosnowski. . When Carl was eleven years old, he was the manager for the Colonels football squoo and ·1earnoo everything there was to know about Wilkes football. Carl's family moved to Florida from Northeastern Pennsylvania while he was in high school. After arriving in Florida, he played two years of high school football but didn't really want to pursue his education after graduation, so he took a year off to work. After a year at a Florida community college, Carl packed up and hemi north. During his sophomore year an injury to his left knee in the Wilkes-FDU gt.1me left him hospitalized and facing surgery. car l underwent the surgery and found himself in a full leg cast. Sosnowski withdrew from the semester and headed ba::k to Florida. Car I received a letter from the Philadelphia Eagles in February of the year -he was hurt, saying they were watching him and that he should keep up his grades and they would see him next season. There was no next season for Car I , but he kept the letter for the future. During Sosnowskl's two-year absence from Wilkes, he -was a Coral Springs pol ire offleer. car I groouated from the police ~ Y and O:!Cided that -being a police officer was fine for the time. After two years of that, he resigned and O:!Cided to give Wilkes football a try again. Carl is presently a very strong force on the Wilkes squad. He is running strong, playing hard, and having no problems with his knee. Carl said that he wrote the Philadelphia Eagles organization telling them that he was returning to Wilkes, but he hos not heard anything from the NFL. As for offers from the USFL, Carl has met with the .USFL regional representative and is now waiting to hear from them regarding a tryout. Sosnowski is now a junior psychology major at Wilkes and Football Drops Third Straight by Bill Buzza staff wr iter Junior, Carl Sosnowski has come back to Wilkes after a two year absence. to finish his education ' and to play his last year of college ball . Carl has recently been contacted by a USFL regional representative and hopes to be contacted by the Phil6delphia Eagles organization sometime this year. is hoping to oe able to play professional ball, but if he can·t he has definite plans for his psychology degree as a member of the police force. · Carl said he would definitely drop out of school if the c~ance to play professional ball came along. "I would have to leave school to at least try out and then go on from there," said Sosnowski. , The only thing possibly holding Carl back would be his age. At 25, he runs a 4.9 second 4O-yard dash and keeps up with any of the 18 year olds on the Wilkes squad. Carl is afraid the pros will think he is too old to start a professional career. · At this time Carl is content to play for Wilkes and try to make the team stronger . . From what this writer can see , car I Sosnowski is a fine athlete and a great person ~nd a ·welcomed-back' _addition to Wilkes College.

On Wednesdltt the Colonels traveled to Muhlenberg to meet the Mules. Playing into a strong wind, the Colonels couldn't mount much of an attack in the first half. The Mules, however, had a potent attack. and scored two quick pls. With the wind at their bocks in the second half, the Colonels dominated play. The Colonels couldn't man~ to score and were shutout for the third time this year, 2-0. On Saturday, the booters opened their conference schedule with a 3-1 overtime victory at Lycoming College. In the first half neither team could control play or capitalize on scoring opportunities. The Colonels ~t on the scoreboard at the 82:00 minute mark when sophomore, Jeff Wertz. ~t the first of his three assists when co-captain, Frank Wanzor, converted a low cross from Oreg Trapani. Two minutes later, the Warriors of Lycoming ~t the equalizer on a headball off of a restart, 25 yards out. The two teams battled through the fi nal six minutes with neither team scoring and the game went into overtime. Conditioning seemed to be the key as the Colonels dominated both overtime periods for the start. The second ~1 for the Colonels came minutes into the first overtime as Jeff Wertz's cross pass was relayed by Drew Re1nde11 to Greg Trapani who beat the keeper from close range. The Colonels' final ~1 looked much like the booters' previous one with Mike Molloy finishing off for Wertz and Reindel I at the I09:00 minute mark. The Colonels outshot the Warriors 21-6 even though the Warriors controlled the fouls 44-24. The Colonels expect a more skillful match when they take on Moravian College I0:30 a.m. Saturday at Ralston Field. Sophomore, Jeff Wertz had three assists in the Wilkes-Lycoming game to help give the Colonels the 3- J overtime win. Cross Country is Healthy and Running Strong by Mike Keohane Staff Writer Wilkes cross country coach, Bm Kvashay, was all smiles this past Saturday when the harriers traveled to Lycoming College for a rematch against the Lycoming Warriors, with Baptist Bible ColJege also running in the tri-meet. Coach Kvashay had ~ reason to smile as the harriers defeated the Warriors, 29-28. The victory was not a large as the harriers had wished, but the win was all they wanted. George Hockenbury and Tom Urso again ran very strong races placing second and fourth respectively. Aiding the strong performonces of Hockenbury and Urso were Tom Mc0uire in eleventh place and Mike Keohane, placing twelfth in his first race of the season. . Dave Machine and Bob Venturi followed close by in twenty-first place and twenty-third place. Another honorable finish was brought in by Paul Isaac, who finished seventh for the team. The harriers' next meet is October 12 against extremely powerful Susquehanna Un1verslty and Division 11 Mansfield College. With the '!Vhole team runn1ng strong and healthy by then, the harriers hope to make it a difficult day for Susquehanna and Mansfield College. Volleyball Tries New Offense by Janee D.

Gundry News Editor The First Annual All-College Convocation held in the Wilkes 8ymnas1um on SUnday, was marred by poor attendance by the studentry. Most of the seats were filled with members of the convocotion and an estimated fifty students were in attendance. The prOJram began w1th a procession of the ent1re f~ulty, dressed in full acaoomic regalia, to their seats in the mi<t11e of fhe wmnasium. Gerald E. Hartdegoo, Dean of AcooemicAffalrs oollvered the opening remarks to the audience. Hartoo;Jan noted a "feellng of optimism in the air at Wilkes College" and.said, "we can make Wilkes College an exciting pl~ to be In the 1980's." Following Hartdegoo's ~ess. was a performance by the Wilkes College chorus with a version of Notes on Thomas Paine. Richard Chap line was the conductor. The new president of the college, Christopher N. Breiseth, was the next to take the podium. Most of Breiseth's speech was directed toward the student bro,, and how we must "oofine who we are , and what we will commit ourselves to oo."

PA 18766 River Project Builds Community Contidence by Eric S. Gundry News Editor Almost thirteen years later , workers are still laboring to repair damc:ge caused by the flood that ripped through Wilkes-Barre in 1972. Machiner•J used for river enforcement Photci by Eric S. Gund r y The operat1on now underway Is using a large crane and a few bulloozers in order to restore dam~ sections of the riverbank. "We hope to restore greater strength to the banks in order to prevent any flooding in the rainy season that's coming," a worker on the sight commented. Bulloozers are used in the construction of a second occess road along the riverbank in order for heavier m~hinery to be brought in and to allow occess in case of an emergency. This rim will make any further changes oone on the bank easier to accomplish , and more convenient for the workers. Another project In progress is removing some of the silt and mud, building up between the rocks of the river bed. The crane is used to lift this s11t out, while leaving the rocks In the river. This allows water to flow throc,;jl the rocks instead of building up and rising over the river banks. The mud left on the banks also serves to reinforce the dike and keep the water from rising too high. "We oon·t expect any trouble with the reinforcements that we have now," one worker commented,"but you can never be too safe.· This activity, up and oown the bank, is expected to remain for at least a few more mys and possible minor repairs may be rerldel ed to a pumping station that is located on the bank, according to one of the workers. The strengthening of the dike provims neEml reassurance as ooemed necessary by many members of the community. An observer of the scene stated, "Everyday I walk along the dike to watch their progress. oo}y b~use I find the whole thing very interesting. But I'm also elated that the community can feel safe from any further dfsasters lfke in 1972. • �E1i11JID®i1JA1.G Communication is a necessary sk ill for any organization to function efficiently. Failure to commun icate breeds confusion and can spawn distrust. While we at the Beacon are pleased to be the f irst to Inform the campus about current proposals and decisions, we ar.e not pleased with the * apparent lack of openness with which some decisions are made. The lead story In each of the f irst two issues of the Beacon ("Theatre Decision Sparks Controversy" and "Spli t In Departments may Bring on Program Change") focuses on a controversy. Controversy Is something any responsible colJege paper should address. Unfortunately, some dimensions of these specific controversies, we feel, stem simply from poor communication. There was such a severe lack of communication between administrators, faculty, and students before the "proposals" were made, that tempers flared and Issues themselves became clouded. Had there been proper communication between the concerned parties, much of the controversy could have been avoided. In both the above situations there was an absence of communication on all levels. Who Is responsible Is not Important. What ls Important Is the fact that the. problem exists. Wi thin the last few weeks a number of faculty members and administrators were surprised to learn from the Beacon those things which were already In the administrative planning stages. Adm inistrators are here to make decisions, but the best decisions are made when the entire college community Is consulted. At the convocation this week, President Christopher N. Brelseth called for clearer communication between the campus and the community. Perhaps we need clearer communication within the campus itself. In the words of President Brelseth: "... In all cases, the Intelligent analys is of... problems requires clear, Informed communication among people bringing different intellectual and professional perspectives to bear. " Also at the convocation, Dean Gerald Hartdagen called for more trust. We wholJy agree, trust must begin with all of us, on~ level of the campus, respect ing each other as responsible adults. Student Questions Wrestler Work-Study To the Editor: The Wilkes Coll~ wrestling · team is the only Division I intercollegiate sport that this campus has, and because of this, the wrestlers can acquire a lot of financial aid fn the form of scholarships and work stuay. One of these work study jobs entails taking care of the athletic complex at Kirby Park. However, I oorl't understand exactly what we pay them for. The soccer team had a game against Division I Virginia Tech on Sunday, and before the game, they had to IJl over to the fieId early to move the IJ)als and repair the nets. The soccer team also had to clean up the mess which was left from S6turday's football game. Fortunately, coach Bel lafr s· wife came to the assistance of the team and cleanoo up the mess. All of these jobs were supposed to have been handled by the ~ students, mainly wrestlers, on work stucty over at the sports complex. What oo they get paid for? After all, the students pay their salaries· indirectly'through their tuitions and other fees. I think we deserve our money's worth from these "employees". An Agitated Athlete Alumna Angered To the Editor: I am writing this letter in response to the article published recently about the controversy surrounding Dr. O'Ne111 and Mr. Al Groh. I feel the need to respond for both personal and practical reasons. Briefly - I have been lnllJ8inted with Mr. Groh since the days when the now-demolished Chase stables served as the theatre department's very active heactp.Jarters, through his time as the widely adm ired director of the dep~tment in the late '6O's, and into his years as the evidently unappreciated Director of Cultural Affairs. Of course I am partisan as far as thfs current controversy IJ)es; if Dr. O'Neill or any of the people under his, Mr. Holm's or Mr. Phair's tutelage ever achieve the degree of college and community service that Mr. Groh has, tt wm perhaps be more difficult for me to react strongly in favor of what they noooubt consi~r the "old guard" - i.e., Al Groh. Considering your staffs relative youth and lack of experience in objective newspaper reporting, I feel the slant you gave in your confusing article ( Is the move to the C.P .A. for Mr. 6roh a fa1t ix;comp)j or merely a proposal? - very confusing... ) to the similarly young Dr. O'Neill understandable. But why oo you paint Mr. Groh as the defender of a d8nclng school you so obviously have contempt for instead of as the patron of more commonly respected artistic enterprises throughout the valley? You make mention of showcase's contribution to the coll~ for the accomooetions Wilkes gives it, but ooyou anywhere suggest that the reason for Showcase's ( and Barbara Woronko's) use of the center in the first place is because of the apparent lack of use the theatre is getting from the Wilkes theatre department? Dr. O'Neil l's COl'KESCeflding, fatuous quote of Newman's perhaps explains why the theater department Is not the source of popular community entertainment it once was: if a professor's attitude toward the public is one of such intense noblesse obliW, how can one possibly expect the humble but rousing, satisfying entertainment we IJ)t in the 6O's from shows 11ke cameJot, How to SY<WJI !o Bus1ness W1thout Really Trying, The Teahouse of the August Moon os well as intel lectuol ly m.ctguew:: pieces such as The Lottery and othe)Jo? Would the argument in response be that the 6O's were the 6O's and that the 8O's are the 8O's? - or that Mr. Groh "peaked" in the former decade? If Mr. Groh was not proouclno the number of shows by the mid 7O's that he had been used to ( by the time the "new guard" made their appearance), perhaps it was because of some private reason known only by himself and the inner sanctum of the "theater" department, and chance acquaintences of both. Quiet black-balling of this~ man - I use the term purposely - began around this time. How can anyone produce when they are the object of a united hosti le front? To make a theatrical analogy, I don't imagine Shakespeare would have refused the chance for retreat when Richard II brought himsuch head!Ehes from court personnel - not that Mr. Groh is as audacious a man as Shakespeare was in this incident. It is time that the more mild-mannered, reasonable youth of WiJkes College be alerted to the need of respecting those men and women responsible for creating the great scholastic and artistic tradition Wilkes Coll~ has acquired over the years. It is also time for those adm inistrative people who regard onlu the latest and most arr(YJ8nt college personnel with respect to remember that not a few great artists had periods in which they retired from public activity of the most energetic sort to gather strength for their next creative venture. Will Mr. O'Nefll be around twenty years from now, oonating his free time to the interests of culture in Wilkes-Barre? Should Mr. Groh , who has spent his free time in this manner, and for a longer per loo of time, be cast aside and tr~ted badly by student wr iters who oon't even know what he has achieved for the school and can still achieve - if pressure and ill-will from no ooubt enviou~ men are removed from him? Where is your breeding. Wilkes College? You may have ivy on your walls, but your attitude toward scholastic fssues and collegiate heroos is oocidedly low-hr-n<u An Angered and Disappointed Alumnas, Hilary Palencar �PAGE THREE Students, President Discuss Theatre Controversy by Kathy Hyde copy editor At a meeting with a group of students held last Thursday. President Breiseth stated that he found the B.mm article concerning the CPA controversy "bizarre." The article represented, said Breiseth, "one whole perspective I tmn't heard." The Pres1dent went on to Sc/>/ * Convocation contin1Jed from pg.1 th6t he was ooncernecl bec8use he felt th6t the .8BOD had neglected to fu IJy exp lore what was referred to as 'the administration's' point of view. Breiseth said th6t he had an appointment to see the author of the article, Eric Gundry. on the day before the issue came out. and that Gundry had failed to · keep the appo1ntmeot. Gundry reports that he arrived at his oorm that afternoon and was told that the President's office had phoned to chan~ the appotntment to a time community itself. He emphasized that the students must explore their wor Id and "be open and sharing." , The pr(XJram continued with a performance of "Touchstones" by the Wind Ensemble of Wilk~ College. "Touchstones" was premeired on the occasion of the Massachusetts Music Educator's Silver Jubilee Festival in Boston's Symphony Hall on January 29, 1983. The piece was narrated by Hartoogan who quoted John Fi~ald KennOO)' throughout. He spoke of the importance of the arts, and "what art can meen .in the light of the community, for the soul of a nation." "If more politicians knew poetry, and more poots knew polttics, I'm convinced the world would be a better place to live," Hartdegan quoted. The Alma Mater was then performed and followed by the giving of the benediction by Robert E. ()Jren, Professor of Biology. The procession then filed out of the auditorium and met again in the Stark lobby and courtyard for a reception with the audience. One student on hand said,"The president's speech was optimistic, but m~ no impact on the students, he never really said anything." President Breiseth will be officially plim1 In office on April 14, 1984. points of strain" in the oocument. Breiseth explained that five separate incidents of organizational difficulties at the CPA had demanood his attention shortly after his arrival In July. "It was obvious to me that we needed to put Bruce Phair bock in the CPA full time, which we did." This move reversed a previous organizational change, announced in December, 1982, which had divided Phair's time between the CPA and the Media Center in the library. The possibility of also moving Groo, Director of Cultural Affairs, into the CPA, was, llXOrding to Breiseth, an effort to further correct the problems he had encountered. Breiseth stated that there was "absolutely no intention to reduce the theatre's program or impoct." He described the CPA as a "oouble-headed monster" which, by its very nature, produces an "inherent tension" when efforts are mtm to satisfy both the college and the community.

Klemow, assistant professor of biology at Wilkes College, has been notified that his paper, "Plant Community Development in an Abandoned Limestone Quarry: A Demographic Assesment," will be published in the "Proceedings of the Miami International Symposium on the Biosphere." Dr. Klemow presented the paper and served as a session co-chairman at the Symposium, which was held in Florida earlier this year. The research was to determine the population biology of several species of herbaceous plants growing in an abandoned limestone quarry near Syracuse, New York. Dr. Klemow·s research is relevant to this area of Pennsylvania because of the many mine strippings in the region, which for economic, environmental and aesthetic reasons, must be reclaimed. The current methods of reclamation involve drastic site changes that are expensive and time-consuming. Klemow hopes to find an alternative, less expensive method, which takes advantage of the fact that vegetation develops naturally on strip-mined sites, especially if given the proper environment. His studies on the limestone quarry have shown that many seedlings do germinate but , most then die very quickly. The question Dr.Klemow h~pes to answer through his research is twofold: what factors cause plant mortality, Nevs In Brief conhn1Jed on pg.4 l • • ·-'' , ·, �PAGE FOUR and how may the rate of natural revegetat1ona be 1ncreased 1n a simp11f1ed, less expens1ve way?

Formal education l~ing to an ~ i c degree has typically focused on one 113Bll1c d1sc1pllne. More recently, many ~laureate degrees have been linkoo with the preparation for specific careers, Including training in the methoos and skills recJJired by these careers. In both cases, of the disciplinary degree 8nd of the professional career del;J'ee, there has been tension between the general liberal education pls of American hi!tier education, and the specific oomands of particular disciplines or career areas. Wilkes, with other colleges and universities, will be analyzing its liberal m-ts curriculum in the coming years to make sure that it effectively supports our students so that they acquire a broad view of 'knowleoJe In Its several cate,p-1es and learn how to apply this knowl80J8 to understand and to deal with complex situations. The intelligent application of knowl80J8 is humankind's best means of coping creatively and effectively with our shared problems. While some of those problems are ong:>ing and seemingly eternal or at least perennial, many are new and r~ire new approaches. In helping you to make your contributions to the resolution of some of these problems In your communities or occupational areas, we need to help you pull the many intellectual disciplines together, to reintegrate knowleoJB. At the same time, we need to help you see your careeer preparation In the larger context of the society within which it will be applloo. There are at least two urgent reasons why this task of integration or synthesis Is critical. One is that the challenging problems facing us ,not only in America but throughout the world cannot be deflnoo, much less anatyzoo and attackoo lntelll1J3ntly without the disciplines being brought together ond focused upon these problems.

I was reaiing Voltaire's ·Cendtoo or Optimism· which was written somewhere around the year 1760 and I mo a Jtttle discovery. Boreoom isn't a new condition that surfaced in the I 960's lt~e I tllot.qlt. It seems ~ writers and philosophers have been concerned with bormn, probably since the discovery of life. C8ndioo 1s a young man who takes part in some unbelievable adventures that almost get him killoo. But at the end of his ca,issey he maintains that he would have rather Pl8 through all the pain, anglush,hunger and spilloo blood he enduroo, rather than stay In one pl~ and be bored. As a matter of fact Csndioo had a chance to stay in a pin very close to the Utopia we are all searching for and live forever. But he passoo it up because he said that he wou Id be bored In due time. Are we all oostlnoo to be bored for the rest of time? I hope not, and I especial Jy hope those fellows sitting in front of the buttons that will inevitibally launch world war three oon't ever get bored because if they CD and they oocioo to !JI push-button crazy, none of us will ever have to worry about being bored again. I've been told the key to avoiding boreoom is to find something you Jove to CD, and CD it. But in order to find what you love, you have to try all kinds of boring things while searching for something to hold your Interest. This is probab Jy the reason so many people out there are so unhappy; they're searching for something they can't seem to find. But like C8ndloo, ft Is our duty as human beings to strive to find ~ in the land of borecbm. ....,,_.__,.....,,...------ Boreoom is running rampant in our world. It's too f!l!BI/ to get bored and much too hard to pay attention. Boreoom seems to thrive on college students, but oon·t let it fool you, borailnL,. fea15 on everyone. One of my professors was tell1ng a class full of half-dam! students the other d8y that its alrl~t to be bored, you can't escape it. It's hard to be interestoo in one thing for 50 minutes strai~t. He said his attention span is somewhere In the range of seven minutes. Thank Cbi, I tllot.qlt , at least I'm not the only one! He continued and told the class that ff we think Its boo now, to waft until we get into the "real world. and have to fa the same thing d8y after day after day. I reelly admire people that can push th~ each day without putting a gun to the sioo of their head, how can they deal with the boreoom? Personally I think that if I end up in a stale situation punching a card somewhere I mi~t as well take the big leap now.

For all Pink Floyd lovers who fell In love with the band's latest masterpiece, The Fina) cut, and tts emotional and almost neurotic lead vocals which obviously came from Water's heart, this latest album, entitled The Pros Qnd r,ons of Hitchhikll'.XJ, will convince all that he Is one of the few musical geniuses still around. The Proo and r-OOS of Hitchhiking Involves a collection of very talented musicians play1nQ behind Waters. Eric Clapton cbes an amozing Job as Jami guitarist , while David Sanborn provloos some biting saxaphone. Althotql it seems the "Flaydlan· sound Is lacking musically, Waters satisfies the starving Pink Floyd fan's appetite with his powerful vocals. Clapton cbes a very fine job on lead guitar but the true Pink Floyd lover will miss the crvina ~itar of David Gilmore, the lead singer and guitarist of the band. When I flrst listened to this album, I heard exactly what I had expected; an album so finely put together and produced, that the listener has no choice but to fall In love with it. The album's songs blend together with perfection. The concept of the album Is Water's description of a <ream he had one ni~t. It opens with a song entitled "Apparently They Were Travellng Abrcm. • and ends with "The Moment of Clarity,· a song which compel led me to start the whole album again from the beginning. The rest of songs on the album tie the beginning and the end together perfectly. Such songs as "Sexual Revolution," are very powerful tunes both lyrically 8nd musically. The title track, "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking," proves to the listener that Eric Clapton hasn't lost a step , he is still a superior talent. other tracks tncluoo songs that describe Water's dream w sso u Is hard to believe that anyone would ever attempt to put these feelings and experierx:es oown on vinyl. When you listen to this detail it's f!l!BI/ to understand why It took Waters 11 months to record this masterpiece. Some. songs that will linger in your head for days after first listening to this album are: "Q> Fishing," which is one of the finest songs both lyrically and musically on the entire album. I ff nd such an album. with lyrics that are straight from the soul and music that guioos you through the fantasy, efS'/ to relate to because Waters is describing an every-night experience: a dream. This album deserves to be given a chance. I feel that you will be am8Zed at the way this work flows musically and lyr1cally. I bel1eve this album is a "classic" in the sense that it has a purpose. If you think about ft for a second, mus1c tooay is really lacking when it comes to feeling , oopth and meaning. The music may sound great but your imagination suffers. It's not common these days to fInd an album that sounds great musically and also allows you to use your Imagination to find something you relate to. Water's The Proo and Q)[)S of Hltchhlktng 1s one such album. ' lilSTO~~ IN THf MAklN6 tJow tou 80Tt1 tNo¥1 \-'ILLI AIII\ 0(1\l IS 8vsy Wlltl HIS STUDIES I . I tteY MIS.

Engineers are needed to figure out how to mooify existing water systems to protect them from contamination as well as m~ water to secure supply in times of drought and to protect ageinst flood in times of heavy rain or runoff. To change our present Wf!i/S of handling water involves politics at the most local level as well as at the regional, state, and national levels. The costs of change involve economics including how to finance improvements and thus involves the tax system. T~ understand how our Wf!i/S of dealing with water -- both responsible and irr~ible -- have evolved over time, we even need historians. In tntition, people skl11ed in management, public health , environmental ·planning, law, applied computer technolog,,, and r,ublic persuasion will all be necessary to secure our water resources for the future -- and they need to be able to work together. Whatever we can oo to better manage this precious resource can hove obvious benefit elsewhere for the problems surrounding water supplies are global. Specialists from Northeast Pennsylvania should find opportunities here as well as elsewhere in the world. One can identify other problem areas - - the supply of food for the world's · population , the dramatically changing health care system, employment and unemployment in the post-industrial economy, reforming our educational system to meet the changing needs of individuals and the larger society, both national and , worldwide, and so on. In all cases, the intell1gent analysts of these problems requires clear, informed communtcatton among people bringing different intellectual and professional perspectives to bear. The Wf!i/S we on the f~ulty educate students ought to prepare them to enter these challenging struooles with our environment and with ~ other so as to make the most effective contribution possible. The second ur113nt reason why integrating the different fields of knowleo;Je ought to be a goal of our curriculum is that the careers ovailable to individuals will be linked to the society's changing Wf/t/S of dealing with these problems. Those individuals who have learned to analyze our problems and our opportunities In a comprehensive Wf/t/, and to ~uire the perspectives, methooologies and skills needed to ~ the problems can help provide leooership in defining and designing the new careers. They will also be in the best pos1t1on to f111 those careers. Put more negatively, those students who are content merely to acquire the skills for a particular career as those skms are now defined, risk finding their training to be obsolete after only a few years on the job -- if not before. In personal terms this can mean that one's fate is host8J8 to larger developments over which the individual has little control. The more one understands the Jar113r context within which his or her career is evolving, the more he or she can anticipate the changes needed to keep up and even to give direction or leooership to the institutions involved. Far from a sound, wen balanced Uberal arts education being obsolete in the present rapidly changing world of careers, such an education is absolutely vital to the individual to make the most intelligent contribution to a chosen career as well as to protect him or herself from the inevitable and dramatic changes affecting every sector of our society. Students with a Wilkes degree should be among those in a position to provide intell1gent l8003rship as we <Otress these changes. This liberal leerning also involves acquiring the most up to date techniques of ~iring information. The library and the computer should be well understood as resource and tool for every student groouating fn whatever field. Information management is not only a major new industry, it is a crucial perspective for almost every organized human endeavor. At the same time, the essential attributes of an ooucated individual remain the cap~ity to read carefully and critically, to write clearly and correctly, and to express ideas effectively orally as well as in writing. With these attributes well developed, the Wilkes groouate should have maximum ~ to the wor Id of work - - as well os the world of the most worthwhile pleasures. One personal g>al you might establish is to be prepared to keep up with your own ch11dren and their world in the 21st century. Even more than for us tcmy, they wm be Jiving in an interdependent world.

We will all be working within the context of limited resources and shared problems and opportunites. You need to be rEm{ for this world and to help your children to be prepared. In the area of careers, the greatest opportunit1es may involve global ~tivities. Alrmty the competition with labor and products from other countries deeply affects our American economy. Whatever your major, you need to be taking courses that help you analyze brooo world developments that are shaping your 1ives. What does this require of tmers? We must demand the best of our students. I have just returned from C8lifornia where I met several Wilkes alumni. When I asked about the quality of their education at Wilkes, there were two themes I heard repeatedly. One , that the education hoo been demanding and thorough and that they !loo learned to think and to write. A distinguished Law School Dean recalled how the critical comments and the Don his first composition at Wilkes started him on the rooo to serious writing. Second, they claimed that they found themselves fully competitive in their professions with groouates form the top colleges and universities in the country. We on the f~ulty must continue to provide that quality of education.. Because of the wide variations in preparation among students from different schools, and the heavy dependence of many younger people for their effective learning on television and other· non-print sources, we must provide opportunities throughout the curriculum for critical reooing and analytical writing. E~ student leaving Wilkes as a groouate should be able to write a clear, grammatical, vfl:J)rous prose. In tnttuon to command of the essential information and techniques in the major field, the students should know how to apply this knowl80J8 and these techniques fn real situations. Problem identification and problem solving should be among the intellectual tools our graduates have ~ired. With such marks of an educated man or woman, Wilkes groouates should be able to move from field to field with fntell1gence, having the ab111ty and the inclination to continue learning throughout their Jives. As their t~rs. we contribute to these qualities in our stuCEnts not only through the precise subject matter we introduce them to - - but also through our own versatility and demonstrated expanding interests. Given the predict~ future demand for t~hers, I hope that by the Wf/t/ we inspire learning we shall increase the number of our students who once again w111 seriously consider teaching as one of the highest callings. Finally, there are two dimensions of the experience at Wilkes that I encour8J8 ~h student to consfiEr. First, above and beyond your ~ l e .work I urge you to participate in extr~urricular ~tivities, whether In athletics or theater, community service or debate, journalism or ·music. Developing your talents and interests In several areas should be part of your agenda as you work to be interesting to youself and to others for a lifetime. Such qualities and quality C9fl}e from working with others, both gMng and receiving, fn the process learning how to make things happen. The more interesting you moke t;,e Wilkes community, the more you will value this , place. You contribute to your own growth as well as to the supportiveness of the college environment by attending concerts, athletic events, debates, exhibits, plays and, yes, even parties. Second, the way ~h of you treats this environment affects its quality. Caring for the buildings we live fn, Including these lovely old buildings which emboof the architectual heritage of this city, is both an opportunity and a trust. Contributing to their maintenance and appearance as well as to the cleanliness of our grounds both enhances the char~ter of our campus and our own sense of shared responsibflity. We are teaching our four-year-old daughter Lydia to pick .up cans and bottles thrown carelessy about to increase her respect for our public space. I urge you to take the same care. You are learning Wf!i/S here to care for your own future families and communities, which includes stimulating others to share in that effort. I hope you explore this beautiful area. If you are from outside Northeast Pennsylvania, get out and hike in the mountains and this winter !J> skiing. If you are natives of this region. take oovantaae of field trips to New York and Ph118:lelphia to visit museums and attend concerts and plf/t/S and learn about the world beyond these protective mountains. In all these ~tivities, be open to sharing and learning from others. The friendships you make here, with fellow and sister students and with members of the faculty and staff can be among the most important and rewarding of your life. We are beginning this fall a serious College..-wide effort to define the appropriate mission for Wilkes College as ft enters a second half century of service to this area. By the time of my formal installation as the fourth president of Wilkes College next April 14, I fntend my speech that day to be the official statement of mission. I lnvl te you to be part of these crucial discussions. E~h of us contributes to the Wf/t/ this community works. We all should take interest in the charting of the future course of this fine college to preserve the best of fts trooitfons and prepare for the dramatic future awaiting our students and their children. Welcome to a new era for Wilkes. �PAGE TEN s p 0 R T s 1:· :· :· :C:: 0 ~mDlJ:.;,[Yllllr;~ : : 0:: llr : : ·0: : : : : · : : D: : : · : : : · C: :=: · :· :· :· :· ·1 : ... . . . . . : : : : : : : : Y-- : :~ ~:: :: : : : : : •. .:. .:...:.·:~........ . . . .. . . . . . . .:. . . . . . . . .=======-: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .:. . . . . . . ::=:, .. .. .. ..

Athletic squcK:ls help to '1't the college recognized just as acaremlcs oo. If Wilkes were to cut its athletic pr()Jrams this . campus would suffer greatly. Athletic events serve as social events as well as displays of college spirit. Just this past weekend the field hockey squoo played host to both Albright and· Mfllersvflle. The day that the largest crowd was pr~nt ( mainly parents and faculty) the team won. I'm not saying the win was due to the crowd, but sideline support can certainly pick up and encour~ a team. After the hockey game I ventured over to watch some of the football game. Admittedly, I only stayed for the first quarter, but I was still there. It iren't matter if you can't stay for the Athletic participation at Wilkes College has increased as a whole and that is great to see. This increase in participation should be counteracted with an increase in spectator participation. This past weekend I was in attendance at three athletic events and was horrified by the lid: of student support. Quite a few people on this campus, myself included, have said at one time or another that the football team Is a bunch of losers. Well It may be true that In the past the football team has hoo less than fantastic seasons, but I see no reason why the team members shouldn't be supported by their fellow students. The same holds true for the soccer team, the field hockey team, the. volleyball team, and the cross country squoo.

See Retreat pg. 4 �PME Student Disgruntled Over Treatment of Theatre , To the Edi tor : The proposal to remove Theatre Director, Michael o· Neill from t he Center f or Performing Arts goes beyond anreasoning. True, o: Neill may have been overworked, but reinst at ing a secretary would have alleviated that problem. So t hen, why make two personnel changes inst ead of one? That is a good question. It seems only appropriate for o· Neill to work out , of the CPA Having an of f ice there wou ld bett er enable him to cultivate the theatre program into an attractive major. By drawing more prospective theatre students to Wilkes the theatre program will only improve. A noticeable improvement in any program would take time, a luxury the administration, on September 6, was not willing to provide too· Neill. Given the opportunity, o· Neill would undoubtedly strive to bring the theatre to its fullest potential. Under the new proposal, O'Neill is limited i,n what he can do. The CPA should exist first and foremost for the students at Wilkes College, with the remaining time open for commmity groups and organizations. The students, particularly the theatre majors, and er Neill are expected to endure a less-than-adequate situation just to pacify some -administrators. Perhaps it would be more valuable to concentrate on satisfying the students rather than catering to' bureacrat ic expediency. The use of Michael O'Neill as a glorified secretary <kring htstenure In the CPA was no less than a gross mistreatment of a f lne teacher. Then, as now, a teacher like O"Netll deserves far better. Michael O'Netll is undoubtedly an assett to the Wilkes Theatr e Department (as we 11 as the Language and Literature Department). Lim i ting him would be a terrible mistake, one wh ich the College cannot afford and the students should not accept. The administration of Wil kes College r ef uses t o leave Dr. Michael O'Nei ll alone. It seems that every time the theatre is having prob lems, it's O'Ne il l's fault. Even if there isn't a problem in the theatre, the administrat ion fi nds something wrong w i th the way in wh ich O'Neill works. Last year Dr. O'Ne i ll was told that i t would be in his best interest if the product ion of Moonchi)dren were discontinued. It seemed like certain unprintable language was being used in the play, and that certain people would be offended by this language. Needless to say, Moonchi)dren never left the ground. The ironic point to this issue is that last year Wilkes College Theatre was scheduled to perform Lysistrata. I strongly encourage students to look at a copy · of that play. If that play can be approved, Oh, Calcutta! would definitely be a possibility in the future. Just when things seem to be settling down at Wilkes College, the administration strikes again. This year, Dr. O'Neill is in the process of being packed, shipped, and mailed to Kirby Hall, where he will be expected to direct the theatre from a distance. Where's the logic in that? This tops anything I've seen at Wilkes. Why O'Neill is still here amazes me. A professor like O'Neill deserves more respect than the administration is providing. His credentials are more than respectable; they are excellent. Why then must the administration ponder such irrelevant decisions? Keep Dr. O'Neil1 in the theatre. He deserves to be there. He kept the theatre going when faculty members were being dismissed left and right. The administrat ion needs to open its eyes and watch the play i t is about t o direct. It will be a tragedy.

Some policy changes have occurred that may not be immediately noticeable, but which will, nevertheless, effect many stuoonts. "" Last year, those stuoonts who qual1fled for the college work stU<ty program became either white-card or blue-card employees. White-card workers were paid by the federal ~ernment and blue-card workers were paid exclusively by Wilkes. If a stuoont did not qualify for white card or for some other reason was ineligible for federal aid, he or she automatically became a blue card employee. Unfortunately, this year, the feooral !J)Vernment has set up stricter guioolines dictating the amount of money a stuoont can earn. If a stuoont has a Guaranteed Stuoont Loan, the amount must be reduced in oroor to receive approval for a work-stooy card. In other words, when federal !J)Vernment aid is involved in the form of a grant or a loan, a student may have to alter that amount in oroor to receive a card, and even then , must ab loo by the guidelines set by the !J)Vernment regarding how much can be earned. other sources of income such as scholarships and outsioo emplc,,,ment are not evaluated. The Office of Financial Aid must now carefully review applications for work stU<t,-, and this takes time. During the first few weeks of classes, for instance, it was difficult to locate tutors for the AC3Em ic Support Center (AX) because that time was being spent check ing their fi ntlOCial standings. It was likewise difficult for Dr. Sours , chairman of the Math Tutor Pro;iram, · to set up any tutoring sessions because of the extra ti me needed for tutor verification. Terry D'Angelo, chairperson of the AX, stressed that "the problem is that the federal regulations changed from last year. This is not Wilkes College policy, it is !J)Vernment policy. She Is handl1ng the problem of the small number of tutors by initiating ·a campus-wire search . Tab Jes have been up in Stark Learning Center, the cafeteria, and the Stuoont Center as sign-up centers for potential tutors. Since he Is running h1s Math Tutor Program on almost entirely blue-card workers, Dr. Sours has had to cut their hours in oroor to remain within his budget. "It would be expensive to run blue-card workers continuously, he said. Dr. Sours emphasized that his program was set up to supplement, not reploce feculty. The work-stucty pro;Jram benefits all who are involved by giving tutors more experience ATTENTION with their subjects, and regardless of their jobs, all are mak ing money.· "The .·:co1iege will always spend the money it has on bluecard workers for the benefit of all students," Sours remarked. So, while the federal !J)Vernment has become more strict in their guioolines, perhaps Wilkes College wiH be able to regain what has been lost. H ff ff m Get to the answers faster. With theTI-55-II.

"I started working in Weckesser Hall in 196 7 .~out a week before school started, and I d1dn't know a grim report from anything!" Jones laughed, lrlfing "I've worked for Dean Ralston and Dean Hoover most of these years." She continued, "My two brothers and my two sisters-in- law groouated from here, so we're kind of a Wilkes family." Jones commented, "I've been here through four presidents, starting with Dr. (Eugene) Farley." Of the new pres1dent, Dr. Christopher Breiseth, she said, "All I've done is _met him, but I'm certain he's ~ing to be a (Jxxjleimr." Describing the changes W1lkes Cl>llege has gone through, the secretary noted, "When Dr. Farley was here, times were a Earn Extra MONEY! AT YOUR OWN CONVENIENCE lot different.

In her years at Wilkes, Jones has also seen several disasters. "Dr. (Francis) Michelini was president when the flooo came In 1972," she remembered, continuing, "Every building had water up to the f1rst floor.

Cross Country Plagued By Injuries by Mike Keohane Staff Writer This past Saturd&y the W111<es harriers opened their t 984 season on a sour note, with a three-way loss to three very talented teams from Bloomsburg, Delaware Valley, and King's. The mied pressure of these three strong teams, plus the loss of four W11kes runners did not help the harriers at all. The new head coach, Bill Kvaj e, st ill has reason to feel opt1m1stic about his team because it was the harriers' first meet of the season. Finishing very strongly for the team were junior. George Hockenberry , who plnced fifth, and freshman, Tom Murso, who plm:ed sixth. Closely following behind was sophomore, Neil Williams, and junior. Tom Morpeth.

How many seams are there on a football? l L As a member of the Wilkes field hockey team , I often have the oppor. unity to travel to many different college campuses. Recer:itly. I vts1ted the campus of Elizabethtown College and was amazed to find a gym complex eq1pped with the best fact11t1es and ample space for occomooating any athletic interest. Elizabethtown College has an enrollment of far less than 2,000 students and is hoping to increase their enrollment by tncreas1ng and bettering the1r athletic facilities and programs. This is an iooa that Wilkes College needs to pick up on. At the present time, Wilkes' fac111ties are grossly over used and in need of improvement. Recently, the Wilkes College Board of Trustees toured the Wilkes athletic facilities and were suprised by the condition of the facilities and the limited space available to students. It would be a benefit to the students, as well as a benefit to the college if the Board of Trustees would look Into the possibility of building a OON gyn complex or ~ing on to the existing gym. At this time the construction of a new gym would requtre demolition of several existing buildings on campus or the purchase of land elsewhere, and this would all be at great cost to the students. An iniition to the existing gym building would be a much more economical move at thts ttme. A multiple noor complex could be erected on the vacant Jot oojacent to the gym on Franklin Street. This oodition could house rflluetball/tennis courts, a swimming pool on the lower level , another basketball court, a Joccuzzl and sauna, nautilus · · ent and a variety of other train11l!) equipment. The ~ition of this complex • would not only help our athlettc programs by · allowing them other forms of training, but it would also serve as a social gathering area for students not involved in on-campus sports. Another benefit of increased · facilities would by the expansion of the college Intramural program. If there were more places to hold events, there would be more events schedule, and therefore there would be an increase in the student participation. Good athletic facilities are a must at any school hoptng to remain on top, or close to the top in the small college field. Wtlkes College ts presently enjoying a high enrollment year, but may neoo that ectJe of ~ athletic facilities to sti,v aheoo in the future.

More and more, students mill about with smiles on their faces. The dark clouds that one~ hovered over the campus are slowly dissipating. !. Tlle change is due largely to the change in the top executive position. over the last few years the students actua11y felt hel~less and unimportant as the administration went about its business. Student f ee1ir)gs and attitudes were lost •in the shuffle as the old administration sktllfu11y balanced the budget. Several members of the old administration may have lost stte of the fact that the students should be paramount in all administrative planning. After all, the students are what keeps a co11ege going. The happier the student body, the stronger the Co11ege wi11 become. A more positive attitude could only work against student apathy and vandaltsm. If given a voice in shaping a new Wilkes Co11ege, the students wtll take pride In W11kes, and the quality of the_Co11ege can only improve. No_ w we have ~.ctii~~~inistrator who extends himself to gather studenf i{lput. Dr. Bretseth has even seriously asked students for ·some advice on how to do his job. Breiseth realizes the importance of the student body. He realizes that the chief executive's duties involve more than the bottom 1ine. This past weekend the President surprised the entire ColJege by attending the Student Center Party. In the past, administators (excluding the Deans of Student Affairs) rarely made an effort to rub elbows with the students at a social function. Brelseth is setting a tone for what can be expected in the future. The student body obviously will have a slightly different perspective on what needs to be done to improve the College. If,·however, there are administrators who still do not value student opinion, we at the Beacon hope that Breiseth's positive_attitude wtll affect a change. Students can and should use the Beacon to express proposals, views, ideas, and suggestions via a Jetter to the . editor. Students can make a difference.

Monsen Feeture Editor Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but this yeer·s BEm>n has a new look. This new fashionable loolc is due to the incredible things that can be mne with the brand new M~intosh computers that inhabit room 133 in Sterle Learning Center. The computers were originolly purch8sed thr'Olql a Title 3 Grant and~the Science TetEher Educ8t1on Program, or STEP Grant, to be used for machine language courses. education courses, Math I OI , and by engineering classes. But as we at the Beacon have found out, they can be used for many other things. The BeAD>n is now being written, edited, stored on, and an around Jazzed-up by these little machines. It can probably be said that these computers saved the 8mm. 8.C., ( before computers) the 8EB:OO was a very tedious 12 pages of paper to put out. The machines that were used to print tmilines and copy, including the typewriters, seemed to break oown , jam up, and cause many an editor's hair to fa11 out. Printing costs were outrageous and the newspaper business seemed less and less appealing to prospective journolists around Wilkes CoHege. f.ven before this ym-star ted, the ~1itors of the Beacon were alreecty worried about faulty machinery, costs of pr r.-luct ion, and how they were ~ing to put out a ~ newspaper that kept the students informed if that newspaper could only come out once a month. Then along -came some nice people offering the use of this mirtEUlous little computer. anow the Bemn, to m some wild things with graphics and it wm also a11ow the editors to ca1m themselves insteed of pulling out their hair. The staff of the BeErnn is Weekend Forecast Now that the Beacon is armed with these M~intoshes , there will hopefully be a newspaper fNerY week and the days of exploding heoollne mochines ore over. That's not the best part. These machines wm allow the 8efD)f'l to "m things it never dreamed of ming so easily." said Cheryl Scalese, Coordinator of lnstitutionol Research here at Wilkes. The M~intosh computer srstem has programs that a11ow the writer to make words larger with the press of a button , and change the style of lltl$ just as easily. Letterperfect manuscripts con be typed into the machine and they will be printed perfectly by the "lmoge writer" printer. Not only can this little machine m amazing things with words , but also contained in the program is something .caned "MocPaint." This allows the writer to be transformed into an instant art1st and produce some mosterpieces right on the screen of the computer. "The lim its of Mfd>atnt ts a funct1on of voor artistic ability" said Sca:{se. The "M~Paint" feature HHl looking foward to having fewer ~ a n d spending less time kicking old copy machines and he8:lliners, thanks to the new M~intosh computers.

I 'm sure this is the question many ot you have been asking yourselves after reading 0 11c of the issues that appear sporadically on campus . Well, here it is, my last issue of The Beacon, and I find myself asking the same question. What is The Beacon, what should it be, and what exactly is its purpose on the ~ilkes College campus (besides scraping mud off the bottom of hiking ~oots)? Interviews for the 1984-85 newspaper staff were what made me question The Beacon's existence. As I listened to hopeful staff members tell the selection committee what they felt The Beacon was, I realized no one had the same definition. After much thought, I've decided that there is no one correct definition of The Beacon. I wish I could say it should be all things to all people, but that's incredibly pretentious. However, what The Beacon is, or what the staff strived to make it this year is a . student newspaper first and last. The Beacon should be the student voice on campus, a place where students can voice their views, a place where students can find out what's going on at Wilkes arid in the world. If the paper is going to become that voice though, it needs much more campus involvement. It needs more input from faculty and administration . This year, I can only think of a few instances where the faculty suggested anything to us or gave us their views-on anything. As far as their views go, The Beacon did not go out and recruit them, our mistake. However, next year, I hope that the faculty will feel free to contribute on their own. As far as the administration goes, the only comments we got from them, except very near the end of the year was second or third hand, much of it was probably distorted. Perhaps.we gave the impression that we were not open to comment, but we would have wekomecj positive input . I don't mean waiting until a problem has developed and then hauling all or part of the staff in for a conference. Sure, that might be helpful, but more interaction before something like that is necess~ry would be good. I have a lot of hopes for Wilkes next year. I think a new president is going to add new life to this school. When I think about the past four years, the word "stagnation" comes to mind. There have been a lot of physical changes, but the people seem to be stagnated. Students show almost no interest in anything (except maybe parties), and there is no communication, no true positive communication, between the students and the administration . There are only a handful of students who seek out the administration for help, and that's sad . I'm sure they have a lot of things, a lot of ideas, they'd . . . Shallers Congratulates Schilling For Naming "The Cellar" Dear Editor, I would like to thank those people who graciously donated time and/or moral support to the Student Center basement painting project. We love you Peggy Jones, Joe (Mama) Fulco, Jean Adams and Al Melusen . In addition, I heartily congratulate the Board for doing a super paint job. It is something we can all be proud of. I would also like to thank everyone who participated in the "Rename the SC Basement Contest. " The Student Center Board would like to invite everyone to visit The ?? ? after its completion. Thankfully yours, Cress Shallers SCB Director love to pass on to the students, but they never get a chance. Smdents need to feel that they can talk to these people about anything, and that 's where the administration comes in . Many students don ' t feel comfori:able with the idea of talking to the deans. Weckesser needs to make a concerted effort to go out and solicit student input. . Students come here from a high school atmosphere where the principal is always right, the instructors are always right. High school teaches you that you know nothing and adults are total authority figures who never do anything wrong. This may not be intentional, but that's the way it is. Unless someone tells them differently, students will continue through their years at college to look at faculty and administration the same way; any attempt to question anything, or have anything explained is futile and will only get you into deep -trouble. · If Wilkes is going to survive through the next ten years, students, faculty, and administration must pull together. There has got to be more interaction. The world is changing constantly. The students here are of a completely different mind-set than those of only a few years ago . Policies have to be geared to the new student; they must be policies that students can relate to and appreciate. Antiquated ideas and ways of doing things must be thrown out. Tradition is a wonderful thing, but it causes stagnation . A pond covered with algae is siagnant and dies. Wilkes will die if it's not stirred up. The current apathy of students is a warning sign. If The Beacon can help to clear up that apathy, then that should be part of its purpose. This year, The Beacon tried to get things moving. Maybe, we didn't always do it the right way. That's part of the editor-in-chief's personality. I tried the shock method. The way I see things, only a real shoc_k, something totally unexpected or different, can get people up off their chairs and make them shout. More response would have been better, and even a negative response is better than the continued gaping, drooling, glazed expression of Wilkes. Next year, the newspaper will take on many of the aspects of Tim Williams ' personality. Hopefully, the way he approaches things will get more action, more response and more interaction than what I tried. The Beacon should be a model of a real newspaper. It should define Wilkes College. It should point out what's wrong, not just it's own view of what's wrong, but student and faculty and administration views as well . It will, with any luck, help get Wilkes on the track that will make it a praiseworthy, ace institution of the future. Irate Fan Whips Williams Mr. Williams: I was very disappointed after having read your recent column in the BEACON. As an avid tennis player and close observer of local college tennis , I was shocked at your poor treatment of the Men's Varsity Tennis Coach, David Smith . Mr. Williams, you state that the tennis program "has left much to be desired" and imply that CoaGh Smith is limited in his ability to improve the team solely because he is not employed at Wilkes (i.e., is not on campus). Further, you suggest that recruiting would provide a "key to improving athletics. '' Finally, you end your editorial by proposing a more aggressive campaign for a project to construct a new athletic complex. Perhaps I misread your column, Mr. Williams, but it would seem you have not thought through this particular editorial very well. In an attempt to support a better athletic program at Wilkes , you have confused the issues and the end result is a potshot at one of the most underrated coaches in the Valley. Having followed Coach Smith's attempts to improve the Men's Tennis Team, it is clear to me that you are off target when you write" . .. even year round practice· does not seem to be helping . . . ' ' If the only measure of a coach's success is the win-loss column, then Coach Smith's progress toward a winning season may not be obvious. However, I would have hoped that this standard of success would not be representative of Wilkes. Surely, such ·a " winning is everything'' philosophy is past its ume . lf you had checked more cl,Jse ly, Mr. Williams, you wouid have found steady and noticeable improvement in each player on the team. The team's record does nothing to show the impact Coach Smith has had on his players . All you had to do, Mr. Williams , was attend one match, or even one practice . The respect for Coach Smith and enthusiasm for the game is evident. No other coach gives the time or shows the concern for his players as Coach Smith. In addition, he has made every effort to recruit players for Wilkes. But within the stnct limitations for Division III schools and the limited inducements available at Wilkes, his efforts have not been marked by overwhelming success. Still, there have been players recruited and the team is not lacking players . Nor is there a "vain effort to fill vacancies. " The mistakes in your column , Mr. Williams , are that you place too much importance on a team's record . You suggest that recruiting will accomplish more than it can; and you apparently site Coach Smith as an example of what is wrong with the Wilkes athletic program is limited by Division JII rules and its own willingness to provide funds (in the form of scholarship~ and 'a thletic facilities) which . would induce students not only to participate in Wilkes Athletics but could be a major factor in choosing a college. In the future , readers of the BEACON deserve more thoughtful and accurate handling of editorial commentary. Your mistreatment of Coach Smith certainly requires an apology. Thank you, Rick Nesler �page yhree Student Asks: Beer or ·Bankruptcy? A recent editorial about the rally held in Pickering lounge prompted me to contemplate Wilkes College's attitude concerning the interaction between student's academic and social lives. The writer of the editorial made some very valid points about the ineffectiveness of the approach 1 that was used at the protest . The stu? ents presented themselves in a very immature manner, only contributing to the low estimation the administration already had of the type of people ~ho favor a more liberal alcohol policy. The only way students can effectively ·get themselves heard and understood by the adm iq,istration is ei- ther to use the student government as an intermediary between the students and the school hierarchy or to organize other student leaders who have the maturity and leadership to convey the op inions of the students to the"administration. The present alcohol policy should be liberalized because in the long run it would be to the school's own benefit to do1 so . If the rules were slowly relaxed, students would learn to be more responsible drinkers because the " thrill" would slowly die out as alcohol became more accessible. The transition period would be difficult, but eventually the breaking of doors and pu lling of fire alarms would end, and I would not forsee prospective employers viewing a Wilkes graduate as coming from a " ass-kickin party school. " The liberization of the alcohol policy is actually only a minor issue in the problem of the social at Wilkes. The administration has taken an overly conservative attitude toward the maintaining of a high academic aura at Wilkes. The college refuses to keep up with the times : the gymnasium was built in 1950 and seats only around 500 people, which makes it barely adequate for athletic events; the football and soccer fields were erected in the early 1900s' ; and the only other extra-curricular activities are infrequent plays, out of date movies, and student government parties. It is time for a transition at Wilkes College. The college should have the foresight to modernize the campus, by maintaining its tuition increases and setting aside money each year for modernization. If the administration maintains its narrowmindedness, the school will slowly deteriorate into possible bankruptcy or may even be purchased by a large university. Is that what the students and administration have to look forward to, or will Wilkes College finally become a college of the 1980s? Paul Isaac Hockey Club Treading on Thin l ee , So how about those losing Wilkes sports? I can't take it any more! One team I am particularly concerned ,about is the Ice Hockey Team. This past season was our worst of the decade. Due to a lack of players we lost all our games. We were close in a few but died in the third period. When you only have half your players show up to each game , losing becomes a grim reality. I have seen a lot of good hockey players come and go from Wilkes in the past two seasons and feel snakebitten not to have a talented roster. In the future this problem must be solved . The easiest way to do this is to alert all those prospects of the ideal chance to play some serious ice hockey for Wilkes. Its not as expensive as yo{.i think_ once you get the proper gear. ~nd its more fun than you can imagme. To start us back on the winning track James Butler has been named coach . J im is graduating this year from Wilkes and has been involved with ice hockey for quite a few years now. In conclusion, I' d like to thank the Stud~nt Government for their Sponsorship and encourage interested skaters to try out in September.

The May 20 graduation ceremonies will mark the 37th time students have left the comfort of Wilkes College to face a tough job market. The commencement exercises will be held at Ralston Field "smack in the middle of the football field ," said Ralston. The back-up sight for the ceremony will be the gymnasium, but the armory in Kingston, according to Ralston would be the ideal place for the backup sight. The college tries to reserve the armory every year but it's not that easy said Ralston . " They'll do us no favors, if one soldier needs to drill, we' re out. " So the college usually ends up using the armory on the average of once every three years. Ralston expects 480 undergraduates to receive their degrees, and 60 people will have earned their masters degrees. " We're also giving out one honorary degree," said Ralston . Wilkes has been giving out honorary degrees for about 20 years to people that " the college thinks has been outstanding in any field, from business to journalism .' ' Past recipients of honorary degrees have been the President of Lehigh University, one of the Dc in rnf Columbia University, a biol- ogist from the University of Pennsylvania, and-many more . Ralston said that the honorary degree not only gives the person recognition, but is also helpful in that it gets the college recognized by many different field s. President Capin· will be the guesr speaker at the Graduation exercise.s , and said Ralston, " he's happy to do ir because he's leaving the college." A faculty member chosen by the students will also say a few brief words to the graduates as will a student that has been chosen by his classmates . Several distinguished awards will be given to students that have shown excellence in both academic and athletic areas . Leading up to the Sunday of graduation , Seniors will take part in many activities in what is known as "senior week ." Aside from putting the Wilkes Drinking Song to good use during the week, there are other activities arranged by the school for the graduating seniors to take part in. Wednesday, May 16 marks what Ralston calls '' a great affair.'' The Senior Dinner Dance at the Woodlands will allow students to mingle with family, faculty and friends. On Friday, May 18 graduation rehearsal takes place in the gymnasium at 10:00 a.m. A Senior class meeting will follow in which permanent class officers will be selected as well as alumni trustees .

Caution: Copper Corroding College Warning: the Earth and Environmental Science Department has determined that drinking water at Wilkes College may be hazardous to your health. Twelve students from the Art Department and the Earth and Environmental Science Department (EES) recently collected 108 samples from drinking fountains and water faucets at Wilkes, tested the samples ,and found high traces of copper in some instances. The results are summarized in the following table: Average Value for fountains 2.31 p .p.m. Average Value for faucets 1.44 p .p.m. Average of all samples 1. 79 p.p.m. The current EPA drinking water standard' for copper is 1 part per million (p .p .m. ). Tests show that 74 % of the samples exceeded the standard and 37% are above 2 p .p .m .. The range of values is 0.08-16 .0 p .p .m . What does this mean to the average Wilkes water·consumer? According to EEC professor Dr. Michael Case , copper is not as toxic to humans as lead , cadmium, mercury, nickel, or chromium, but it has been shown to cause an accumulation in the body tissues. The disease is progressive and fatal if left untreated . Normal individuals will excrete excess copper, said Case , i.f a level of wat~r copper of between 1 - 5 p .p .m. 1s ingested . The 1 p.p .m. EPA limit was established for the protection of sensitive individuals and, with that opinion in mind , the research on the chronic effects on humans of low level copper exposure is insufficient at the present , added Case. The problem of copper in drinking water is not unique co Wilkes College. Over the past 4 years the problem has been documented throughout this region in the waters from various households. In every case , as at Wilkes, the water supply, whether from a private well or from a P.G.&W reservoir contains only trace quantities of copper. What appears to be happening is that the supply water which is often naturally soft and somewhat acidic (pH 6.2 - 6.6) is sitting in the soft copper cooling coils of the fountains or faucet piping of the sink overnight. The copper tubing is slowly dissolving, and the dissolved copper imparts a bitter metallic taste to the water. It should be emphasized that supply waters are low in copper, but the chemical nature of the water may make it aggressive towards copper plumbing. The cooling coils in the drinking founta ins, heing made of a softer type of copper, tend to corrode more rapidly than the harder copper and the main service pipes or faucet lines. Electrochemical processes could also play a significant role in the corrosion . A report has been produced and is being sent to the Wilkes College administration . It makes the following two recommendations: (1) All students and staff at Wilkes should flush any faucet or faucet line for at least 2 minutes prior to drinking or collection of water for beverage and/ or food preparauon. (2) Since the problem of heavy metals in ·drinking water is becoming a nation-wide dilemma, removing metal contaminates "at the faucet" using special filters is cost effective in the long run . �page six Writer's Cramp bv Donna Nitka Kept women .. . Now there 's ,t career that has a lot to offer the right person. Nice apartment, great clothes, a classy car, an unlimited checking account , and for what? A few hours of work each week. Definitely my kind of job. That's why I've decided to change careers. Instead of becoming a doctor and saving humanity, I want to become a kept woman and live in the style to which I will soon become accustomed. When I came to Wilkes four years ago I was a naive girl from a small mining town . I ~ad dreams of med ~c hool, a private practice and a Nobel Prize by the year 2000. To achieve this goal I endured endless hours of bio, chem and physics labs . I pulled allnighters writing english and history papers. I sampled political science and philosophy classes. And for what? Why,an acceptance to a medical school , of course. The only problem is that now I no longer have the desire to become a physician. Why am I giving up a life-long dream to pursue a rather unsavory career that lacks any type of job security? I've decided to be practical. I was sitting at lunch trying to figure out how I was going to pay for med school when it hit me - become a kept woman . Just think about it .

Call me shortsighted, call me underhanded, call me whatever you like, I just don't enjoy conversing with my shorts. It's not one of my favorite pastimes. I don't mind it when my breakfast cereal says, "Snap, crackle, pop!"; it doesn't matter to me when the bowl on the table says, "Butter," or "Parkay," or "Mantequilla," or whatever the hell else it says; I can even deal with the bathtub detergent happily chanting "Scrubbjrg bubbles! Scrubbing bubblesr' as they commit hari-kari in their efforts to rid my porcelain of hard-toremove stains. But when my underwear starts greeting me in the morning, I draw the waistline, so to speak. Don't get me wrong: I like wearing underwear; in fact, I consider the donning of undergarments a pleasure tantamount to that of eating a peanut butter and bananna sandwich with the crusts of the bread cut off. But I don't like talking to my underwear. They just don't do anything for me. I mean, they do something for me, in fact many thing.s, but I don't count lingui$tiC expertise among them. What brought about the falling out of my undewear was an incident that occurred not too long ago. It was a chilly December morning and I was reaching into my dresser drawer for a pair of longjohns. I considered the piles of white that were in there, vetoing the BVD's, deriding the Jockeys, and disdaining the Hanes. But there, there in the back, behind the socks and jocks, the panties and the scanties, shining like white cotton gold at the end of a lingerie rainbow, were my Fruit of the looms, wearing their super-stretch waistband with its regal blue and yellow stripes like a crown. I reached for them, my hands trembling, and brought them out. Suddenly they were standing next to me, these four giant fruits, straight off the label. A big fat apple, a short bunch of green grapes, a tall bunch of purple grapes, and some kind of undefinable brown leaf. I looked at them. They smiled and went into their act. "Hello ... "Hello... "Hello ... "Hello ... ,h 11:'/ft'' ~~ - _, -~-- ~ "Hellor' they crooned. "Hi Emmal"said the apple. I wasn't fo ,ma. "I'm not Emma," I told them. "No~ Emma?'' said the little grapes, stepping forward." Where's Emma? What have you done with Emma?'' He was irate, and meant to harm me. Beware the wrath of grapes, I thought to myself. I decided t play it safe. "She's not in there with you?'' ·· "Of course not," said the big grapes. 'What would a little o lady be doing in a man's underwear drawer?'' That was a good question. Then again, what was a little olo lady doing with four guys dressed as fruit (or rather, three guys dressed as fruit and one guy dressed as some kind of undefinable brown leaf) trying to sell men's underwear in the first place? . I remember going into Sears one day and being accosted by a little old lady salesgirl extolling the virtues of some handydandy, super-duper, new and improved electric razor, that needed neither batteries nor outlet since it worked on something called "stubble-power," and it could shave clean as a whistle the growth on your cheeks, shin, neck, arms, and armpits, as well as the hair that grows out of your ears and from your 0 • nostrils. Twenty minutes later I finally explained to the lady that I was only looking for change for the bus, but since I had already missed the bus it didn't matter anyway and I'd take two razors. It was then that store security came along and dragged the little old lady away, explaining that she wasn't really a salesgirl at all, just a local fruitcake who comes in three times a week to harass_the customers. I ended up walking home and growing a beard. The same thought that crossed my mind in Sears cr-0s~ed my mind now: why was a little old lady selling men's underwear? Unless she uses them, which I didn't want to think likely, how would she know whether Fruit of the Loom'.s stretch waistband keeps its elasticity longer than Jockey's? Or if the fly on BVD's is easier to open in emergencies than Hanes? Or if the leg holes on Carters stretch after a while and your thing falls out, but Sears holds your thing in? A little old lady wouldn't know this vital information, unless she bought shorts for her little old man husband or big young man son. · The apple was talking to me. "Have you seen Emmar' "I don't know what you're talking about," I said. The little green grapes got tough again. "Just answer the question," he snapped. "Don't be shorts with me," I replied. "Look, if I had seen Emma running around in my underwear I would have told you. Besides, what's so urgent that you have to find her _right away"?" 'We have to go to a funeral" the tall grapes · replied. ''The Maidenform Woman." They all bowed their heads. ''The Maidenform Woman is deadr' RflWERJ! "Her ad campaign's been ...discontinued!"' The apple burst into tears. The little leaves on his stem shook with sobs. Actually, I was kind of glad the Maidenform woman was dead. I can recall many occassions when rd run into her, and they were none too pleasant. You never knew where she'd _turn up. I'd be on a crowded, noisy subway, and some woman next to me would reach up and grab a strap, stic;king her armpit in my face, her overcoat would open, and voilal there was the Maidenform Woman. Or, I'd be walking down the street in the rain without an umbrella and there she'd be, wearing nothing but her bra and panties and a fur coat/prancing around without a care in the world, hailing cabs and stuff. It was disgusting. "Big d~al," I said. "So she's been discontinued. So what?'' "ObViously you don't understand," said the big grapes. "Did you ever work in the anderwear business?'' "No, but rve got an uncle in ladies' clothes,"! said. · "Seriously, us underwear have to sti~k"together. First they get the Maidenform Woman; next they'll strip Jane ~ussell of her 18 Hour bra; then they'll get Emma and us. We have to band together early or else it'll be too late." "Yeah, you don't want to be late bloomers," I said. "I'm gonna kill him," the little grapes threatened, moving towards me. "I'll teach you not to sell us shorts!" · "let's make this briefs," I replied, moving in. Of course, the bunch had quite a punch, and was a pretty good boxer for shorts. He knocked me out with one shot. When I woke up, Emma was standing over me. "How do you feel, sonny?'' she asked. , · "I feel good all under," I replied. ~tprt t nt j froM 5.U.N.Y. .. 8i119~Qriien~ P;pt Dr~Of)\ �page eight * Weekend * CPA Hosts Miss NEPA * Forecast The Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania Scholarship Pageant, official local preliminary to the title of Miss America, will meet its 1984 contestant deadline on Saturday, June 30.

Berkeley , CA 'J4705 ---- �page nine 1vertinie by Tim Williams " ls there anybody out there?" It seems so. Bart Bellairs, in re>onse to last issue's ''Overtime,'' has rought some noteworthy suggesons to my attention. Bellairs' sugestions concern the location, bene:ts -and possible funding for a new thletic facility adjacent to the ,resent gymnasmm. Lycoming College currently uses a airly modern athletic complex which ~.,as built in conjunction with money ,h1:ared and ra i~ed hy rhe people in Lycoming's neighboring communities. In return the college opens the gym to the public one day per week, usually a weekend day. This allows the community free use of a pool, gym, and weight room facilities. I see no reason why Wilkes could not persue such a campaign. One day per week seems a small price to pay for a new gym facility, especially when Wilkes students would still have the present gym to make use of while the public uses the new facilities for that one day. Bellairs feels that there is ample va- cant land adjacent to the present gym for a multi-story structure that could feature a swimming pool on the ground floor with racquetball and tennis courts on the upper levels . Placing such a facility on this side of the river would diversify and promote the intramural programs as well as the intercollegiate programs. In fact, such a proposal would benefit all Wilkes stud~nts more than just the athletes. The new facility would certainly bolster the intramural programs, which, in turn, would contribute a great deal to student life by providing the student body with much desired activity. Given the opportunity, I think some students would opt for a swim or a game of racquetball over a night of drinking. One of the biggest student complaints is that there are no activities on weekends to keep them occupied, so many students release weekly, b~iltup pressures by drinking . A new facility would help battle the enrollment decline problem and at the same time fullfil the student's desirr- for more (and preferred) artivities. Lady's Season Plagued By Inexperience by Cherie Waters The Wilkes College softball team is currently 5-9- 1 with two games left in the season. Coach Nancy Roberts explains that inexperience has had a lot to do with the outcome of the season. "Most of our losses were because of inexperience , especially some of the close contests. The team consisted of 8 freshmen, but I'm sure next year will be quite different considering this year's expenence." But for now the Lady Colonels have just completed the two busiest weeks of their season . As a result of this tw(, week stretch the Wilkes women gained a win ( 11-7) in a rally against uptown rival King's College. Although Wilkes found themselves trailing in the earlier innings of the game, they picked up their pace in the fifth inning when the bat finally started to hit the ball : When asked when the turning point of the game occurred Coach Roberts replied ; "Their pitching was really slow and the girls just aren't used to that. So after everyone got up to bat for the second time they began to hit and that was the turning period of the game." In the fourth inning of the game Adrienne Placek hit a double and then went straight home with the help of a, J oanne Matt's sacrifice fly. Michelle Zawoiski blasted a homer in the third inning and also hit a double in the fifth sending Sharon Domzalski and Lisa Gigliello to home plate. Pitcher Karen Galli received the win, while Senior Karen Bove pitched for one inning. The Lady Colonels chalked up another win when they beat Luzerne County Community College D-2 at Kirby Park. Freshman Adrienne Placek had a good game,driving in four runs with a homerun in the sixth inning. Karen Galli helped to power the Wilkes women past L. C. C. C. with a solo homer in the fifth inning and an RBI double. Third baseman Kenly Hoats went three for four while pitcher Connie Ranck scattered three hits and four walks to pick up the game victory. On Saturday the Lady Colonels took a disappointing road trip to Upsala College only to drop a doubleheader to the home team. The result of the first rally ended in a 4-2 lost for the Lady Colonels. The score was all tied up at the bottom of the first inning, but the Upsala women took control in the second and led the game 41 by the third. The Lady Colonels showed some spunk in the fourth inning when Karen Bove stroked a double to drive in teammate Mary Consugar. In the sixth inning Wilkes left runners on third and second, and overall , stranded nine runners on base throughout the whole game. The Wilkes women didn't have much better luck in the second roun'cl against Upsala. By the bottom of tne first inning Upsala scored five runs, and had taken a lead of 7-1 by the top of the sixth inning. At this point, the Lady Colonels made a comeback with four runs. Lisa Gigliello singled to first and was sent home by a Kenly Hoats' triple. Hoats then went on to score on a single by Sharon Domzalski. Mary Consugar then got on base with the help of an Upsala throwing error. Freshman Yvonne Pierman scored Domzalski and Consugar on a two run double. In the seventh inning the Lady Colonels' luck ran out, when the rally ended with the bases loaded . Overall , Coach Roberts is satisfied with this years' softball season but states " I was disappointed that Eliza. bethtown won our division since we are a much better team." Also Roberts commended her team by stating, ''The team consisted of very dedicated athletes, considering that the weather, with the exception of two days , consisted of hail or rai:1 along with low temperatures.'' Intramural Revision Proposed by Janee Eyerman Due to the mixed-up year of intramural activity, intramural coordinator Bart Bellairs has proposed to make some revisions to the system . It is hop~d that next year one Stu.dent may be found to man the job of student coordinator on a full-time work study program. By having just one student in charge, it is hoped that there will be more uniformity tO the system. Bell:ur~ ~rated that "or. e per son could devise one system a11d all r he intramur., b rnuld follow rl u t sy, rem , hopefully dc alll lg up ,d i th 10wl-ups. ·· Bellairs abn plans to increase t 1 · , number of intramural activities by planning mini-weekend tournaments . The idea would be to hold powder- puff football games, soccer tournaments, and any other event suggested within reason on the football field when the team is playing away. Another idea being proposed is to charge participating teams a down payment to be able to play. This down payment wou1d be to ensure that the ream is really going to show up and play, because if they don't the money becomes part of the intramural fund ro buy equipment and prizes . The final two suggestions have been long needed to help shape up the system . Intramural sign-up dates and season dates will be noted on the school calendar starting this coming fall. AlsQ, the intramural league is receiving their on-display and advertisement area in the gym lobby. Bellairs hopes that by giving the intra.murals their own area there will be less confusion. �page ten Tennis Team Hopeful For Next Year 6. by Janee Eyerman The Wilkes men' s tennis team traveled to Lycoming to play their best match of the season.

"I was really surprised." Smith mtinued, -"I've always been in the 1adow of other players. Usually the layer who scores the most gets the ,1ost recognition." The four-year basketball letter voman stakes her claim to several sea;on and career records. Smith ranks fourth on the all-time season scoring list with 4 f"4 points for the 1983-84 season. This helped push . her to second place on the all-time caf '..' t"l ~· ()ring list with 1309 points The best offensive performance of her career happened this past season when she tallied 33 points against Lycoming. This was good enough to place her third on the all-time gamehigh scoring chart. "In girl's basketball, forwards aren't considered scorers as they are in the men's game-it's always been a guard's game,'' commented the 5 ' 9" center. Smith's rebounding proficiency attests to this philosophy. In her sophomore year she collected 285 rebounds to set the individual season record Over her four years at Wilkes the senior communications major amassed 970 rebounds to set another record. Smith attributes htr success to her friend who was injured in a motorcycle accident which prematurely ended the girl's basketball career. '' Mary Jane pushed me because she could no longer play, so, in a sense, she was playing through me," explained Smith. "She pushed me as if it were herself." In addition to playing basketball she is a member of the LetteFWomen' s Club and is a student assistant in the Sports Information Office. Kim has proven to be on of Wilkes' outstanding female athletes; she hopes to have equal success as a sports broadcaster or a public relations person. • , i ~ - . ! . - - - - - - - p h o t o by Don Carev ...'

The fifth place finish is the best in the last three years and is attributed to the talents of the freshmen on the team. The Colonels took their best five men to the playoffs in hopes of ending their 1- 7 season on the upswing . Junior captain Jeff Tokach headed the roster along with junior Kevin Stankiewicz, sophomore Rich .Linkhorst, and freshmen Tod Hagstrom and Brian Cahill. The best four scores out of the five competing golfers get added together to tally the final score and determine the final winners. This year's squad was held back according to Tokach, "the weather hurt us this year, we just didn't have the chance to practice because of the late season snow and class schedule conflicts.'' Tokach also states that ''we are getting the class schedule conflict cleared up. so that will' help us next year.''

Rick's pitching was an im measurable factor in this year's MAC North West Division title. Rick is an elementary education major who hopes to be able to coach at a college level one day. At this time the coaching staff is trying to find Rick a graduate assistantship coaching basketball or baseball. Rick stated that "the highlight of my season and my basketball career was reaching the one-thousand point mark, and in baseball it had to be winning the North West Division Championship.''

Wilkes scored early and big in both games to help them to 8- S and 9-6 wtns. In the first inning of the first game Junior Ed Domzalski cracked a three run home run as the Colonels batted Relief pitcher Gene Nosovitch came on to relieve starting pitcher Rick Sheaffer in the fifth inning and went the remaining distance to capture the MAC north west division championship. around on their way to a 6-0 first inning lead. The Colonels added a seventh run in the sec~:md inning when Senior John Good singled in Ken Sorick who also reached base with a single. At this point the Indians ofJuniata looked to their bullpen to silence Wilkes' bats . Over the next three innings the Indians managed to hold the Colonels scoreless while they tallied four runs themselves making it 7-4. Dave Orman led off the bottom of the sixth with a single to straightaway left field, and Good repeated with another single . Domzalski followed with yet another single to knock Orman home and collect an RBI. Juniata could only manage one run in the final inning as Colonel Dana Colavitti pitched the entire game, striking out five and walking only one. The win insured Wilkes of a tie for the Northwest division of the MAC; taking the nightcap would put the Colonels alone at the number one spot. Joe Ranielli, one of Coach Bob Duliba' s most consistant hitters, garnered a double to lead off Wilkes' early assault in the second game . Dave Kerdesky then managed to reach first base as the Juniata shortstop mishandled a routine ground ball. Freshman Tony Caladie then hit into a fielder's choice and found himself and everyone else safe. Ken Sorick drew a walk only after .The Wilkes Colonels celebrate their 9-6 victory over Juniata which earned them the MAC north west division championship. a the Juniata pitcher released wild pitch that scored Ranielli. Frank Wanzor hit into a double play but got an RBI out of it when Kerdesky scored the second run. Catcher Dave Orman sinbled in Caladie to make it 3-0, and John Good got on on a Juniata error to load the bases back up for junior Ed Domzalski. Domzalski singled to drive in the final run of that inning. Juniata's first scoring opportunity came in the fourth inning when Rick Sheaffer walked the bases full. The next Juniata batter was issued a walk and sent a runner home. The Colonels aJso added one run to their score in the fourth inning when John Good drew a walk and advanc<;d third on a wild pitch and a throwing error. Ted Ruch 's sacrifice fly deep to centerfield allowed Good to tag up and score. Juniata rallied for four runs in the fifth but the Colonels answered back with two more of their own runs . The Colonels added two more runs in the sixth inning when Ken Sorrick stroked a two-run homer over the left field fence to drive in Brian Gorski from second. The Indians added one more in the seventh on a solo homerim, but that just wasn 't enough to catch the Colonels.

The youthful group numbering over 1,000 people, quite a few of them being Wilkes_students, began assembling at 1:30 P. M. and remained, despite the chilly weather, until Hart steamed up to the Station in the antique train at approximately 2:30. • Waiting in anticipation , the crowd drank coffee and discussed politics while secret servicemen scoured the area and whispered to local cops.

A motorcade of a dozen secret service vehicles materialized and the serious-looking men in over-sized trenchcoats began gearing up for Hart's arrival. With white smoke pouring out of its stack, the impressive train bolted past the crowd and back into place to present the candidate.

It certainly seems to be what Wilkes College runs on - another Wilkt s College election , another pres_µmed scandal. It seems that every election held for class officers or Student Government officers ends in dispute or accusations. Most of them never reach the point where an official complaint is made, but it doesn't take any: rumor, founded or unfounded , very long to get around a'campus the size of Wilkes. Whether it's disgruntled losers or people who fear they have discovered real voting fraud , what they claim to know about the election is everyone 's dinner conversation by the next evening. . The problem lies in a voting system which lends itself to voting fraud and accusations of illegal voting procedures. The system used by Student Government leaves too many doors open to the temptation to "help out a friend." Everyone involved in elections knows this, and that is why there are always so many dic;c;atisfied peopk whn either have a hard time trying to accept the fact that they lost or honestly feel something is wrong, running around, whispering, sometimes shouting, that the election was unfair. There appears to be a relatively simpie and more professional way to handle these elections - voting booths . Voting booths would be far less difficult to keep track of and far more professional than the present system. Most high schools and many grade schools use voting booths to elect their student council mem hers and class officers. - If Student Government elections are held near the date of county elections..,__ making it difficult for the school to obtain voting booths, elections should be re-scheduled. This would cause some confusion in the beginning, and it would take a little planning and a few phone calls to the courthouse, but the end result would be piece of mind for the people running student elections, tht: winners of the elections and maybe, even the losers. 1~ d©t © 11 ________________ ~---------------------------------anot JLler e~ 'll or1a1 1 I am writing this _in reference to the student rally held in Pickering lounge a few weeks ago. . I truly think that it is great that the students are finally beginning to take an active role in matters that affect them and the campus. Over the past few years , the student body has been somewhat passive in allowing the administration to formulate policy. If a student does not agree with college policy he or she should speak out against it. College students of the 1960's spoke out, and they were able to accomplish a great deal. It was during this decade that Wilkes students were encouraged "toquestion, to critize, to test, and to s.earch· for new meaning and new solutions" (from the 1983 edition of the Amnicola). There suggestions were transmitted not from fellow activists but from the O>llege. It is time once again for students to question objectively the environment which surrounds them , In this day arid age of the computer, people are rapidly , becoming passive and unindividualistic. People should not be afraid to speak out and voice their opinions. A few of the people who ao voice their opinions do so in a very harmful and unintelligent way. This often hinders, not helps, the cause or influence of the opinions the speaker holds. A·classic example of this arose during the Pickering rally. A certain person was slandered in such a manner tha I would not want printed in the Beacon. Regardless, it was a stupid act on the activists part. Rational people would never offend people they are trying to win concessions from. · These few activists, unknowningly, ,severely hurt the students' call for a different alcohol policy. Name calling is no way to get what a person wants; it is almost like bii:ing the hancl that feeds you. The student activists need a strong, rational leader who has the ability to reason effectively. Otherwise, the activists are doomed to sink lower into the . Photography Editor Resigns lieacon photography editor Jerry Galinus has resigned , and Mark Radabaugh will replace him as photo editor fot the last two issues of the 198384 Beacon. Galinus stated that he felt he had to resign because of conflicts with his schoolwork and· what he felt were inadequate working conditions. Following Galinus' resignation , it was discovered that he had charged approximately $600 of camera equipment he had not been authorized to purchase at the Camera Exchange, Market St., Wilkes-Barre. · At the request of the Beacon edito- riai staff, Galinus returned this equipment. However, the Camera Exchange could only credit the Bea. con account with approximately half of the original cost of the equipment, because it had been purchased in _September and October of last year. Galinus freely admitted to his excessive expenditures, and he has since agreed to reimburse the newspaper for the difference between the original cost of the items and the credit given upon their return . depths of despair in their efforts to reform policies, particularly the alcohol policy. Before the students can expect the College to relax the alcohol policy they must demonstrate their ability to use it responsibly. This is not to say that all students are irresponsible when alcohol is involved, just that a few ruin it for all . A weekend in. Pickering rarely goes by that fire alarms are not pulled and/ or glass doors not broken. This all works against any efforts the students make for a more liberal alcohol policy. It is a shame that alcohol is the only issue the students are concerned about: There is more to college than parties. Students should be just as concerned about academic issues as well as social ones. After all, college is for learning, and that learning, for some people, is limited to human interaction (socializing). How do you think a prospective employer is going to view . a Wilkes degree if he envisions this school as an "ass-kickin' party school?" It seems to me ~hat this kind of a reputation would be very detrimental to a Wilkes student 's future . This probably will not totally appeaho eitherthe administration or the · student activist \, but this is the way it is 'and,the issues must be worked out The admmiscration and the students must meet half-way on the issues . While the students must cease their sporadic, irrational behavior the administration must also.listen to stu~ent suggestions and consider them seriou~ly.

This will save library users from dealing with many of the problems they must currently face in research. Another goal of the project will be to have hook-ups to the system in other buildings on campus. Computer terminals will be located in department offices as well as in some of the larger residence halls on campus, such as Evans Hall and Pickering Hall. This aspect will not begin until the project is fully completed and tested. The automation project is scheduled co be operational in the early part of 1985. Equally significant is the fact that Wilkes library collection will become an integral part of the nat1onwide, multi-institutional database of On-Line Computer Library- Center (OCLC), and thousands of OCLC members will have on-line access to the holdings at Wilkes. This is a positive contribution toward the practice of resource sharing (Inter-library Loan) among libraries.

TJ:ie only way to find out if you have high blood pressure . is to have your blood pressure checked. The test is quick and painless. Many people think that high blood pressure is'a disease of the aged, the cause is unknown but there are many risk factors involved hr.sides age and heredity, if there is a history of high blood pressure in you_r family you are more likely co develop it. Race is anther factor. Black Americans are more likely to have high blood pressure and a more severe form.

Congressional and administrative sources have announced that the CIA played a direct role in laying underwater mines in N icaraguan Ports that have damaged eight ships from several nations during the past two months. The mining operation is supposedly part of a CIA effort that began last year to redirect the Anti-Sandistan guerrillas away from futile attempts to seize land and point them towards economic sabotage.

Twenty two-story buildings which ire burnt and lifeless make up the runs that were once a luxurious mining :ity inhabited by 40 families.mostly of Welsh de~cem ,--vho worked as supervi.ors in thr- loLal coal mines. Today the homes look as if they barely survived a distant nuclear blast. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the present-day ghost town located ten miles from Wilkes-Barre is that it is solely owned by Wilkes College. What is Wilkes College, an institution of '' higher learning,'' doing owning a 39-acre piece of land known as Concrete City? ''When we purchased Concrete City for $1 (in 1964 from the Glen Alden Coal Company),we imagined using the buildings for classes in police and fireman training," said Dr. Andrew Shaw, Wilkes Dean of Management, "but objections from our faculty and staff stopped the idea.'' Though the property could be considered somewhat of an albatross to Wilkes College, it is being used. Firemen working through the community colleges build doors and windows on the buildings, douse them with flamable liquids, light them on fire, and then .out them out. Police groups also.conduct training exercises on the buildings by shooting into the concrete walls as targets. -\ '' We have a responsibility to the community by letting the firemen and police train here, but at the same time Wilkes would like to sell it," said Shaw, who accompanied me on a tour of the site. . Concrete City was built in 1913 by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroads, which owned coal lands at the time . The following year families of coal supervisors moved in to what was one of America's first planned communities. The inhabitants worked at the Truesdale Colliery located about a quarter of a mile away from the site. The two story b4ildings measure 50 by 25 feet with 25 feet of space between each dwelling. The construction of each consisted of a constant pouring concrete walls which measured between 6 and a quarter inches and 8 inches thick. "It's not like we can just knock the buildings down," said Shaw, "These walls are solid. '' According to a paper completed on the history of Concrete City by William Simon and Jocelyn Reese, Ivor Williams, in 1923, a former coal mjne official, used a charge of 100 dynamite· sticks in trying to demolish one of the homes. When the blast only slightly budged the house·, the Glen Alden Company decided that pursuing the demolition would be to expensive and they abandoned the idea. The buildings had no central heating, indoor plumbing or electricity, and in 1923, these factors contributed b~ ·i ~ ~~ to it's closing only 9 years after it opened. "As you can see," said Shaw pointing black fungi living in a damp corner of the ceiling of what was once a · child's room, "mildew started growing·on the walls and ceilings and made the place unliveable." Shaw said, currently,it is not known what Wilkes will do with Concrete City, but hr- ;,,lded that plans are being made that should eventually lead to its sale. �page six Will Anyone Offer A New Deal? ar1n s control national defense econoiny foreign affairs 1nondale hart Arms Control: Walter Mondale supports a nuclear freeze but opposes the build down idea of removing two warheads for each new one deployed .

The annual fund drive was chaired >y Harold Trethway who is also the \.ssistant Manager of the Wilkes3arre Boscov's Department store. frethway said the college was able to raise so much money because of strong support from friends of the col- . lege and alumni. The $531,890 raised was 24 % more money than what the fund-raising goal had been set at. Trethway said he had high praise for the community, as he told a crowd at a recent luncheon. "By way of their (the community) financial support, they have voiced a strong willingness to preserve and enhance the educational objectives of Wilkes College to . meet the challenges which lie ahead for higher education.'' , President Capin said much thanks and wanted to recognize the many corporations, foundations , bequests, · special gifts, trustee gifts, and the generosity of the community and alumni. During the 1983-84 fiscal year, Wilkes raised in excess of $1.2 million to be used for scholarships and for increasing the college's endowment fund. "We are certainly grateful to everyone who has continued to be loyal to Wilkes Collegeand has assured, once again, that Wilkes will remain a strong and vital part of this region, the state, and the country," said Capin. Trethway closed out the luncheon recognizing the efforts of the entire volunteer campaign workforce and commended the work of division leaders Earl Macarty, Sandra Piccone, Marino Santarelli, Charles Lemmond and Thomas Kiley. He also commended the efforts of Mrs. Beverly Hiscox, vice chairperson for campaign '84, and Mr. Gilbert Fough, chairperson of the alumni appeal. hart' Continued from p. Looking For Extra Credit? Try Classes On The Weekends by Sean Connolly Many juniors and seniors look at their transcripts at this time of year and realize that the one class they failed or the one they neglected to take has come back to haunt them. Upperclassmen grimace at the thought of returning next fall to complete a requirement to graduate, and many are horrified to find that their final year's class schedule resembles this month's shopping list. If you are shaking your head in recognition there may be a solution - the Wilkes College and Keystone Junior College Weekender Program. The program, which Wilkes joined in 1978, gives the student a chance to work all summer and enjoy most weekends free at the same time. Students attend classes every third weekend,seeking to satisfy the ever-elusi've· final credits. Students spend two hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to comprise the six hour weekend period, with classes held at the Keystone campus for six weekends from May 11 to August 19. Mr. Jack Meyers, director of the program, said that undergraduates who will be involved with final exams on the weekend of May 11 should not be concerned with the first class periods because everyone will be "in the same boat" as far as class preparation goes, and everyone will then have three weeks to organize for the next period. Classes in accounting, business administration, earth and environmental science, economics, English, political science, psychology, and sociology will be offered. · For more information ,contact Mr. John Meyers at Sturdevant rm. 107, ext. 380. Hart, his daughter, and his wife spent another ten minutes after the speech throwing roses to excited crowd-members, most of whom walked away discussing the candidate and smiling. "I think the visit was very successful," said Wilkes and Misericordia Hart campaign organizer Alex Apaliski, who is a senior transfer student at Wilkes. Apaliski, who was directly involved with the appearance of Hart, stood within secret service bounderies directly below the candidate and shook his hand. "I think Hart's main assets are that he is young and with his new ideas he is not limited to the old, established Democratic policies." "National campaign organizers say that Hart, if elected president, will move a little to the right of what he is portraying himself to be during campaigning:' commented Apaliski who said he received this information first hand. Apaliski added that Hart real- TH•ARETWOSIDES.TO. - · 1 .«)MINGANURSEIN'THEARAft II I . . . 11_ . . .ARMY NURSE CORPS. BE ALLYOU CAM BE. izes some of Reagan's economic policies work, and it is in the area of economics that Hart will lean slightly to the right. Apaliski said that if Hart loses the Pennsylvania primary he is in no way out of the race, and that Hart organizers expect to do well in the West. Apaliski added that New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are large union areas and that Mondale does well in such areas because he portrays Hart as antilabor. "The truth is that the AFL-CIO knows of Hart's printed congressional record th:i,t shows he voted ''.yes" in 79% of the labor bills and 100% in the really important ones," said Apaliski. Nationally, organizing active supports on college campuses has been poor, and at Wilkes, said Apaliski, the apathy is no exception. He said that though Hart may get the student vote, there is a lack in the turn out of workers on all ~ea campuses. s-weeps Continued ~-------~------------------------------~-ff.. . . ,.I t·· · · And they're both repre· sented by the insignia you wear as a member of the Army Nurse · Corps.

Why are some of our athletic teams experiencing untraditional disappointment ? Why are · most teams having sub . 500 seasons? These are questions that must be considered , and solutions must be reached before it is too late. Most of the men's and women 's sports are either on the decline or remain in the cellar. Student participation is slowly dwindling to the point where coa,hes post signs on campus in a vain effort to fill vacancies on the roster. Wilkes College women's athletics, once strong and proud, can no longer call themselves "Wilkes' Winning Women." The only productive women's sport thus far has been the women's basketball team. The men's athletics will also be glad to see .1984 go by. Coach Reese suffered through one of his worst seasons in years. The soccer team was the only other men's sport to finish the season at or above the .500 m?-fk. Some coaches liave inherited programs that have hit rock bottom at the turn of the decade. There is no place to go but up from a .000 winning percentage. Dave Smith, the men's tennis coach in his second year at Wilkes College, directs a program that traditionally has left much to be desired. Since Smith is employed ekewhere, he is limited to the amount of improvetnents he can make to his program. If Smith were employeq. at the college he would be able to move about freely on campus and actively recruit tennis-playing students to Wilkes. However, as it stands now, Smith must work with students he has; even year round practice does not seem to be helping the team much. Both football coach Bill Unsworth and soccer coach Phil Wingert have devoted a great deal of time to recruiting efforts, and both programs have begun to show signs of life. Even though the football team only won two games, the 1983 season should be considered successful due to the fact that they were a freshmen-laden team competing against some big opponents. Wingert stepped in when the program come off itswor_st season (0-14) ever continued from P• 11 other tie would be in the making. Don Shaw got to be the hero, wirh twenty-six seconds left he hit the upper right hand corner for the win. Shaw's slapshot looked like he had a Howitzer hid somewhere on his person. Twenty-six seconds later, the warriors were in and the Twisters out . SEMI-FINAIS In ·the longest game of the playoffs, the Smegmas ·and the Herka played scoreless hockey. Looking more like a game of MonoP.oly th~ hockey , both teams got good sconng opportunities but nobody could buy the house . The conte~r.sparked by great play from poth sides,left the fans on edge all night . Then eighteen minutes i~to the sudden death period , Mitchell Reese , hustling behind the net,lays a picture perfect pass on Smegmas captain Junior Weinstein's stick. Junior was all alone in front and even Underdog couldn't of stopped it. Advance token to the playoff, the Herka lose a heartbreaker. The second game of the semis progressed much as the first as no team and,in two years, produced a team with one of the best records (8-8-2) in the 35 year history of the sport. Recruiting could very well be the key to improving athletics at Wilkes College. While the academics at Wilkes are strong, there is vi rtually nothing here to attract the student athlete. All of our athletic facilities are old, decrepit, and outdated. Most Wilkes students had better facilities in their high schools. Prospective student athletes expect to step up to a more attractive athletic environment. This situation drastically hinders recruiting efforts particularly that of Bart Bellairs. Coach Bellairs must compete for recruits against other schools who have more attractive gymnasiums than Wilkes does. The humble Wilkes gym is far less appealing than that of any high school gym I have seen. A recruit can walk a few blocks down Franklin Street and see what he/ she expects a college gym to look like. While I realize that Wjlkes does not have the finll;Ilcial capability to build a new gym at this time, it seems as though the administration has no int~ntion of looking into future opportunities to acquire funds to build one . The College managed to find adequate finances to build a state-of-the-art dormitory when in its maiden year there was ample space on campus to house a good number of people who were living in the then Founders' Hall . As the College moves into the future, I can understand the need for the now Evans' Hall. It js a great tool for drawing students to Wilkes. However, a new athletic complex would have the same affect. The College should start an .active and aggressive campaign to raise the necessary funds to finance such a project. I realize that this is not something that can be completed in a few years, but, if something is not done now to prepare for the future, there just may be no future for Wilkes athletics and Wilkes College as a whole . scored in the first half, yet opportunities were abundant. Seven minutes into the second half Randy Rice , again as in the semi's, was left alone in front and again his aim was true chiefs 1, Warriors 0. Fate just wasn 't there for the Warriors as Don Shaw hit the cross bar of the goal three times, and the Chiefs goalie seemed to get something on every Warrior shot. Time expired and the score remained the sanie. The finals will consist of the Smegmas ( 11-0-1) against the Chiefs (5-3-4).

The scoring started in the second · inning when Juniata ripped a bases loaded triple to put the Lady Indians · up 3-0.

The last scoring was a last minute . rally that scored freshman SharoQ Domzalski, but left Karen Galli and Michelle Zawoiski stranded while the tying run was at the plate. The Wilkes women came back swinging in the second game to garner 15 hits and 18 runs.

Olympic Commentary •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• by Janee Eyerman Another Olympic season has past.and yet another controversy has arisen . This controv.ersy stems from the long arm of the Communist Bloc Nations. The spirit of the Olympics is to give amateur athletes throughout the world the chance to compete on an international level. This competition is regulated and sanctioned by the Olympic Committee . It would seem that somewhere along the wa.y the committee has hit an impass. This controversy deals with the issue of opening the Olympics to professionals. The claim has been made by many of the Third World Nations that the Olympics should be opened tip to professionals , so that they can compete with the Communist Bloc Countries. The majority of other countries involved in the Olympics have professivnal leagues or teams for their amateur athletes to join after the Olympics. On the other hand , the Communist Bloc Countries have no outlet for their athletes, and therefore, they just-continue to train under the tide of amateur. ~ Amateur doesn't seem to be the right tide for someone who is paid to train and does nothing but train. The salary of these athletes is provided by the g•Jvernment. In other countries,this is not the case . Athletes of these countries support themselves throughout their training and the Olympics. Whether the Olympics should be opened to professionals is a question of politics and tradition. The long running sentiment of the Olympics has been to give amateurs the ultimate challenge of their careers. If we open the games to professionals, it would obviously push the amateurs to the side. The professionals would dominate the games and break the tradition that is the Olympicc;. Politics enters the controversy at the point of world domination . Should we open the games to professionals just so we can compete with the Communist Bloc Nations for world dominance? It would seem that we would be alt~ring the games just to be able to show our greater strength. · · Is that show of strength really more important than being fair and keeping with the spirit of the Olympics? Possible solutions to the controversy include limiting the number of.Olympic games the athlete may participate in, limiting the number of hours an · athlete may train in a day, and limiting how many years an athlete may train. These may sound like drastic measures to take, but if they solve the problem and preserve tradition they will be well worth it. It would appear that the opening of the games would cause more harm to the athletes involved and only add to the already existing pressure between the countries of the. world . Intramural Hockey Heating Up by Jeff Weinstein The Smegmas were the only seeded team to remain unmolested-in the first ~ound of the playoffs. Teams seeded 2-4 couldn't escape as they fell to defeat at the hands of the lower seeds. Number one seed, the Smegmas, played against the eighth seed Penguins . The Smegmas drew first blood as Mike Kopcho poked the ball home . Greg Trapani tried to rr,ake it a run away as he got the first •Jr.his hat-trick. Rich Sisson took the Penguins fate into his own hands scoring unassisted and bringing the score to 2-1. Trapani and Sisson then traded goals late in the second half. " With time dwindling down , the Penguins pulled their goalie in an at- tempt to score on the · t~nacious Smegma defense . The Penguins, concentrating too much •on offense, let · Trapani slip by to get his third into an empty net. Final score.,Smegmas 4, Penguins 2. Number two Devils faced the seventh placed Herka. Congratulations has to go out to the Herka as they just came to win. As this David and Goliath contest began, it was assured that the Devils weren ' t going to have a cake walk. Mark Aguilar had the only tally for the Herka,but it was all that was needed. The Devils played really flat as the Herka broke the giant's back. Third seeded Alabama Spammers faced off against, the ~ixth seeded Chiefs. Once again,the call for Underdog went out as the Chiefs played he- roic hockey. The Spammers, Ralston Conference Champ~. were out to se- · cure a spot in the semis as Chris Meeley scored first. The game progressed with aggressive play on both sides. As it got late iri the second pei:iod, it looked as if that lone goal would be the difference, but D.]. Sparks dug a ball out of the corner.brought it to the top of the zone ,and let loose a rocket, score 1-1. It looked like overtime as both teamstightened their defense . With a little more than two minutes left ,the Spammers had a lapse in defrme . This lapse allowed the Chiefs' Randy It.ice to be all alone with the ball just fifteen feet from the goal, score 2-1 . That's all the help the Chiefs needed, another upset and another days work well done for U,:iderdog. The fourth seedeq Twisters and the fifth s,e eded Warriors faced each other in the final quarter final game. The game progressed in the same manner as their regular season tie. Goal trading, tough defense, and alotof end-toend olav made thim~s look as if an- c on t i rived on p •. 10 �SPORTS Vol. XXXVI No. l~ April B . l 984 Wilkes College W ilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Colonel Clobbers Steal 5 of 6 by Tim Williams The Wilkes College baseball team, off to its best start in years, captured three of four games in a pair of double- , headers this past weekend at Artillary Park. On Saturday the Colonels swept the Crusaders of Susquehanna, 7-1 and 6-5. On Stmday, they split with visiting Oswego State of New York, losing the first contest 8-5 then topped off the day with a 12-11 win. WC7 Susquehanna 1 The Colonels found themselves trailing 1-0 as they headed to the plate in the third inning. The freshmen trio of Joe Ranielli, Brian Gorski, and Frank Wanzor all singled to load the bases. . Senior captain Ken Sorick then stepped in the batters' box and nailed his first of two home runs on the day. This put Wilkes ahead 4-1. The Colonels put the icing on the cake in the sixth inning when Gorski singled in Ranielli,and Ted Ruch hit a one bagger that brought Tony Caladie and another player across the plate. WC 6 Susquehanna 5 The Colonels were forced to play catch up the entire second game of the twinbill as the Crusaders jumped out to a 3-0 lead. It remained that way until the fourth, when junior catcher Dave Orman hit a sacrifice fly ~• ; .1Ilow Sorick, who tripped to score from third . The Colonels then loaded the bases.and Caladie drove in a run with his sacrifice fly to close the gap 3-2. Susquehanna extended their lead by two in the top of the fifth, 4-2. Again in the fifth, Sorick stepped up to the plate to knock one out of the p~rk; this was good for two _runs to even the score at 4-4. In the sixth Susquehanna again went ahead with an RBI single to make i_t 5-4. · Orman's homerun in the bottom of the seventh evened the score at 5 apiece . Senior John good followed with a single. With the winning rµn on- first,Ranielli hit a. triple to left-center field to give the Colonels the win . WC5 Oswego8 The Colonels went into the last inning leading by a score of 5-3. It was at this point that freshman Don Shaw left the mound with the tying run on base . Reliever Gene Nosovitch couldn't stop the Oswego rally as they scored four runs and put the game out of reach for the Colonels. . WC 12 Oswego 11 Colonel Jack Delfino threw well over 200 pitches to go the entire eleven innings to lead Wilkes in th~ second game. O~ego s_cored three runs in the ninth to put them ahead 11-8. Gorski then singled and went to third on Ruch 's single. Wanzor hit into a fielder's choice to bring Gorksi home. Sorick followed with a homerun to even the score at 11 apiece. • The Colonels won the game in the eleventh as junior Ed Domzalski singled and was brought home on Caladie's double . Wilkes plays their next six games on the road beginning with a twinbill at Delaware Valley tomorrow, Saturday, April 14. . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I realize that as soon as I send this over· to the printers, something will - happen that will offend my sense of justice and fair-play, and I'll want to write a scathing editorial about it, but it will be too late. No word of lie, that's what happened when the administration ce~ sored the play Moonchtldren. Monday night I couldn't think of an editorial topic, so I checked to see if Amy Elias, last year's editor and my idol (when Amy was born, angels kissed her; when I w2S born, they just ki~d of coughed on me) ever took a break. She did .so I figured I deserved a week off. Wouldn't you know, Wednesday night I find out the administration decided Moonchildren was unfit for the theater department and cancelled it. I was tempted to type up something, but our staff cartoonist said it all with his drawing. The way I always thought of college ~ was that it was a place to experiment, a place where you could do things you'd never get away with in the business or professional world - a place where you could ''find out who you really are." I know that here at the paper, we like to experiment with different layout ideas, different feature ideas and a lot of graphics. Some of them work; a lot of them don't. The important thing though, is that here at a college paper we get to test our ideas, no matter how strange they may seem. If we ever tried half the stuff that ends up The Beacon, Amnico/a, and Manuscript are looking for bright, imaginative students to fill scholars~p and non-scholarship positions next year: in The Beacon at a real paper, we'd be sitting on the sidewalk with our typewriters in our hands. The really important thing is that we learn something from the positive and negative criticism we receive, and in the process, we learn a little more about ourselves and newspapers. I think the same thing should apply to the yearbook, the Manuscnpt, and college theater productions. I'm not particularly fond of foul language (what a euphemism), but I think it's important for students themselves to find out if it works, in the context of the play, poem, or short storv. Maybe play or poern filleq. with "foul language " would bomb to the utmost extreme- Maybe it would work in one case but not another, but NOW is the time to find out, not when you're out in the real world and your livlihood depends on it. Even when a project turns out to be such a disaster that you want to walk around with a bag on your head, you gain valuable experience. You learn how to make dignified public apologies. You- learn to laugh at all the digs your friends and close personal enemies throw at you. You learn never ever to do that again. Also, if you're going to go any. where in this world, you have to be willing to put yourself on the line. College should be teaching us to take the initiative. "To seek out new life for us and new civilizations, to boldly go where no college student has gone ' before ."

The course will be Presidential Rhetoric . The 1984 race for the White House promises to be the most utilized race by the media since the founding of this country. Professor Bradford Kinney will bring together the art of public speaking, debate, and radio/ television production to present an indepth analysis of the race for the top leadership position. The course will focus on the appeals to the media (print/ nonprint), the persuasive and propaganda techniques employed by the candidates and their staffs (both in the current race and in past contests). The course will also include an indepth look at what was said, who said it, for what reason, and the effects the oration had on the public. The course runs the same basic time table as does the national election. Professor Kinney plans to use the facilities of the new TV production studio, WCLH-FM Radio as well as the candidates themselves. The cours'e will look at the office of the president through films, TY, radio, and per- sonal speeches of the candidates. According to Dr. Kinney ' ' A course such as this comes along only once in every four years . It should be exciting to study the candidates through the media and the spoken word .'' The state of Pennsylvania will see the candidates crossing and recrossing the Commonwealth in an attempt to win the support of the state's electorate. Pa . according to most political observers , will be a very important state and the candidates will spend a great deal of time speaking in our area. Political candidates such as John F. Kennedy, LyndonJohnson, Richard Nixon, Ted Kennedy, and Gary Hart have spoken in the Scranton/WilkesBarre area and this year should be no different. Prof. Kinney plans to have his class observe as many actual gatherings as possible. The course should interest students in radio/ television, journalism, public address, government/law, and history. However, any person concerned about the welfare and future of the United States will find something of interest in Presidential Rhetoric. The course will be offered -on Monday nights from 6: 30 until 9 - during the Fall semester.

Secretary of Education T. H . Bell explaining that the United States seriously lacks proper education in foreign languages. The report, Critical Needs in Internation Education: Recommendations for Action, states, "ourNation's indifference to foreign languages and cultures is unique among the advanced industrial countries, and our performance in these areas lags behind many developing countries.'' Secretary Bell requested the study from the 23-member NABIE after the National Commission on Excellence in Education warned of a '' rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a Nation and a people" in our U.S. educational system. In accepting the report from NABIE Chairman James B. Holderman, who is president of the University of South Carolina, Secretary Bell said, 'This is the time to place before the public recommendations for change, reform and renewal - and in no place is it more urgently needed than in our language instruction.'' The Secretary added, "With the ever-growing importance of international commerce, we must commit ourselves to improving our Nation 's international literacy if we are to com. pete successfully with other nations in the world marketplace. '' Among the 19 recommendatiorn set forth in the NABIE report are these: • Local sc ool districts should provide every student with the opportunity to begin study of a foreign language. • Colleges and universities should require demonstrated proficiency in a foreign language for both admission and graduation. • Textbooks should be reviewed or revised, or new textbooks introduced, to include a broader international perspective. • A national fund for international education should be created. • Government, business , and indus- try should use their employees' for- " eign language skills and offer other employees a chance to acquire them . �page five I · Vol. 11 No. l ' AJ!il l , 1984 WilkaColleae Wilkeil9111f«!'Pftlf8766 Bob Bows Out As Chris Gets Kid The installation of Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth as president of Wilkes was completed this week with the ex-. change of the official presidential son. In a special ceref'hony, Dave had his name changed from Capin to Breiseth, thus making Breis~th's installation official. "My entire family is thrilled with the new addition,'' commented breiseth, "especially my daughters . They always wanted an older brother." When asked how he felt about the exchange Capin replied, "Of course we'll miss Dave. After having him around for so many years we sort of got used to him, but we realize that he came with the office. We knew his stay with us wouldn't be permanent.'' Dave seemed. very enthusiastic about the change, "Sure, ifll take some getting used to, but I'm looking forward to having a new father.' ' Breiseth noted that one of the things that made Wilkes so appealing was the concept of the presidential son. He stated that Dave will be an asset in helping him adjust to life in Wilkes-Barre. As Breiseth put it, "Where else would I be able to find a job with such a built-in advantage!" Breiseth and son were the guests of . honor at a dinner immediately following the exchange ceremony. "Debbie'' Does The CPA by Con 5eannolly The Wilkes College Theatre Department has announced its production schedule for the 1984-85 theatre season. The season will open with the area premiere of ''Debbie Does Hazleton," written by a local playwright who wishes to remain anonymous. The repetitive one act play follows the adventures of a Bucks County girl who leaves the back woods of Warminster to "experience" life in the big city. The second scheduled production is Dion-Dion's, "Happy Boys All Tied Up." This show calls for two strong male leads to portray starving hairdressers in their search for fulfillment. This year's musical will be '' Step on Your Toes," the story of a small town college student's relentless fight to create a dance major at his liberal arts college. This production will feature the first choreography attempt of new-comer Coach Bill Unsworth. The season will be rounded out with the patriotic comedy "Napalm." Set in the, mind of a young ROTC cadet, the play uses dream sequences to unfold the cadet's dreams of glory in the wild blue yonder. And the winner is ... this one! Op.ce again the Annual Wilkes Rate-A-Butt competition came down to the wire. ''The finalists were pretty even going into the last round,'' commented one judge, ' 'but there was just something special about contestant number 6. I can't describe it, but on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give him a 9.9." "" The contest, which was begun several years ago to recognize those students with exceptional derrieres, has grown steadily since its inception. ''We had twenty contestants this year,'' commented one of the contes_t coordinators, "and the show sold out just three hours after tickets went on sale." This year's winner was contestant number 6. Known only as Mr. X, he received an average score of 9. 75, the highest score ever received by a contestant. "I guess people know a good thing when they see it," stated Mr. X. Evans Hall Involved In Gender Bender The Residence Life Office today announced that Evans Hall will be closed at the end of the semester. The building will be renovated and reopened next semester as the William Evans Memorial Parking Garage. "Parking has always been a problem at this school," stated one administrator, "and this just wouldn't be parking. Each car will get it 's own room with heating and airconditioning controls, private sink and semi-private bathroom. It's luxury parking!"

"I guess the winters a.ren ' t really that long around here, " whined a female resident. " What I really want to know is where I'm supposed to plug in my curling iron, and the lines for those bathrooms will be incredible. " Does the administration think that the new housing arrangement will af. feet enrollment? "Of course," replied one administrator. "We feel that the new housing arrangement will appeal to nature buffs and camping fanatics across the country. It's tailor-rriade for them." An increase in enrollment is expected. �Suck-Face Sights: This offers a challenge to those who crave adventure, for there is the everpresent threat of being interrupted by a security guard or a student looking for a place to study. 3.

Is B_acon The Only Food On Campus? by Con Seannolly Dr. Shan<lrew Aw, Wilkes College dean of Management, said in a press conference on March 28 that there is absolutely no hunger on the Wilkes campus and that the findings of the $50,000 marketing survey are grossly exaggerated. "Sure there are a couple of hungry students out there , but most of them have chosen to be hungry." Aw sights the popularity of aerobics classes, the absence oflong lines at the cafeteria, and the constant appearance of the Domino's pizza truck at Sullivan Hall as proof of students willingly gomg hungry. The survey was done hy a profes- sional statistics company and spanned a two year period. The results came as a blow to lame-duck president, Robert Capin, as he strove for a noncontroversial final semester. The report found that over 5 2 % of the students on campus go to sleep hungry and at least 20% of these students are suffering from malnutrition. "It's that damn anorexia - its not our fault . They could eat if they want to. \Ve have a lot of food programs on campus ," blurted · Aw in an emo 0 tional statement during the press conference . All students who were asked to be interviewed refused to comment for fear of repercussions frCJm the administration. In a surprise rnove the Wilkes College Athletic department announced that the Colonel football team will not accept an invitation to participate in the 1984 Rose Bowl Game in Pasadena this Fall. John Reese, Wilkes athletic director, announced that football coach Bill Unsworth opted for a :.pot in the Henna Bowl or~a possible matchup with the L.A. Raiders of the National Football League. "We were getting tired of the same old competition from the big-name schools so we are looking for a change of pace in the Henna Bowl or somebody of our calibre like the ·Raiders,'' explained Unsworth. "Also with the money we save on airfare we will be able to send all of our all-star players to the many post season all-star games ." Most of the players seemed a little discontent with the decision; for most of the players it would have been their first time in the national spotlight. "What a bummer, man," exclaimed defensive lineman Joe Rock. " We was reallf lookin' forward to dis game, now we gotta take our final exams, man .'' Thi~ marks the first time in the scho,,ls football history that the team has declined a top-notch bowl invite . . Next season the Wilkes football · schedule will be expanded to include Marywood College and College Misericordia. According to John Reese, such an addition would extend the season into the bowl season. ''We will be playing Marywood on Christmas Day and Misericordia on New Year's Day. This will provide us with legitimate excuses to de~line any and all invitations to bowl games. '' The 1984 football season promises to be a real hum-clinger. Season ticket sales have already reached an all-time high and it looks as though the only way to eaten Colonels football in the Fall will be to have a season ticket or ·by way of national television . The College has already contracted with ABC Sports to televise all five of the Colonels away games and two of the home contests.

Lady Colonels To Open Saturd,a y by Janee Eyerman Coach Nancy Roberts has only five returning letterwomen from last year's 10-4-1 squad, and that leaves quite a gap to fill. Once again this year the Wilkes women will be.aiming for the Northwest League Championship but will find it a little tougher this year without pitching sensation Sue Schwartz. Schwartz's absence creates a rather large weak link for the Lady Colonels when it comes to depth in the pitching department. Karen Bove will be doing her best to strengthen that weak link when she takes to the mound for the first time in her career at Wilkes. Also taking to the Wilkes diamond for first time will be freshmen Yvonne Peirman and Sharon Domzalski playing first and second respectively. Rounding out the infield will be sophorhore sensation Michelle Zawoiski and Kenley Hoates at shortstop and third. Pulling down those fly balls in the outfield will be Karen Galli in centerfield, Lisa Gigliello in left field and Joann Matt in right field. Wilkes' strength appears to lie in their hitting. Wilkes has three hitters over the . 300 mark and they are led by Zawoiski, who batted .357 in 1983. The Lady Colonels will be squaring off against MAC foe Elizabethtown in a doubleheader on Saturqay, March 31st at 3:00 p.m. in Kirby park. Net01en Drop Operier by Janee Eyerman This year's men's tennis team has only two returning team members from the 1983 squad and that makes for a lot of inexperience .

Wilkes fielded their top six singles men against Juniata but they just could n •t come away with the win . Wilkes' number one cede for t he day was freshman John Patterson . Patterson dropped his match to Stephan Wallaert ofJuniata, 3-6/0-6. Returnee, sophomore Rick Sposto filled the second cede spot but dropped his match to John Dorner, 36/ 3-6.

Wilkes Faced With "Most Difficult" Budget by Sean Connolly The Wilkes College 1984-85 tentative budget will be presented to the Board of Trustees sometime today, and is, in President Robert S. Capin 's own words, " the most difficult budget in my ten and a half years of upper administration.'' Reductions in staff, faculty, and administrative positions are necessary for a balanced budget, said '-Capin, and increasing costs and decreasing enrollment made this year's budget process very difficult. " We worked very hard. We had to take a close look at what was going on , and consequently, certain requests could not be filled, " he said . Capin added that he expects to fin ish " in the black" with a balanced budget for the next year, but that he is not projecting a large surplus . The budget process begins in midDecember with meetings between de_: partment heads and deans and fol lows through January. In January, the president assigns available staff positions , and meets with staff for preliminary budget approvals . The tentative budget is then completed by the president and staff in February, and the b oard votes on it in March. If the budget is approved today it will remain unchanged until its final approval in September. Capin said one of the hardest parts of composing this tentative budget is continuing Wilkes' programs while keeping tuition increases to a minimum. He said that there will be ;i n increase in mition for next year .but that no figure has been reached . Demographic projections for che Northeast region of the United States show a continuing decrease in the amount of college students through the 1990's. Increase in tuition for most private institutions has become a continuing trend , and Wilkes has been no exception. Capin added that the amount of this year's enrollment applications is higher than last year's applications , but that a lower enrollment is expected . The final budget can not be approved until September when the number of students are known. Wilkes College is faced with large expenditures, said Capin, citing for instance the $219 ,000 amount paid for :electrical expenses of Wilkes buildings , excluding residence halls . He added that the total operational and maintenance ~xpense is much larger. Along with reductions in staff and faculty, the number of positions filled at Wilkes has to be watched , said Capin, referring to professor tenure. He said that tenure is a commitment on the part of the college to a certain individual, and is sometimes a lifelong commitment . He stated the criteria in considering tenure as : qualifications of the individual, need in the academic department , and the economic issues in the situation. Wilkes College has been operating "in the black" for -8-9 years, said Capin , who also said that the institution is in a good positior;i to meet the challenges of the future . Will It End Up In "People's Court''? ... ·College Obtains Zoning Change On Barre Hall But Forty Fort Man Sues Wilkes Following ANeighborly Appeal ' . by James Volpi A lawsuit involving the sale of Barre Hall has been filed against the college . Photo: Steve Thoma; Barre Hall , a one time female residence hall of Wilkes, which was put up for sale last year for $110 ,000 , is now the basis for a law suit against the college . William Dombroski of Forty Fort , filed the suit when two neigh bors appe~led a zoning change obtained by the college. Mr. Dombroski claims he was not notified of the appeal when he secured his mortgage from Susquehanna Savings Association . The plantiff claims the zoning change places him in a financiallydamaged position and refused to make further comment on the matter. Mr. Dombroski is suing for the $5, 000 downpayment that the college refuses to return . He is seekinL· $7,800, plus costs and interest. D.r. Andrew Shaw, dean of Management explained last year that the college was to go before the city zoning board to ask for a "variance " in the zoning regu lations for the Barre property that would allow the parking arrangement that the college's realtors wanted . Barre Hall was to be renovated into a luxury apartment buildin.g , but a plan for parking violated the present zoning rules. 1 After attaining the zoning change , two neighbors appealed and won , without Mr. Dombroski being notified of the change. It is based on his lack of knowledge of any change, prior to gaining financing , that Mr. Dombroski now bases his suit for the return of his deposit. �page two----------------------------------------------------------Student Government Zonks The,Doctor Dear Editor, This letter is in reference to Dr. Zonk' s column in the firsi: issue of the Beacon this semester. Dr. Zonk made a few unnecessary slurs against Student Government . I feel that it is my responsibility to comment on these remarks. Dr. Zonk made a comment about Student Government Representatives only being around campus during election time, when they need to get petitions signed to be, nominated. I would like to elaborate on this statement briefly. If you want to see any Student Government Representative, please attend any of the many social affairs on campus. Student Government members do. You 'll be able to spot them. They are the ones working the door, filling the soda cups, and running around with food platters so there is enough food to make everyone happy. Also you can find these people , who appear so mysterious , decorating and setting up before each of these parties and cleaning up after them . Yes , Student Government members are the lucky ones who get to clean up the disgusting messes and scrub the floors after each party. This is , however, just one aspect of the life of a Student Government member. Another fun part of being a Student Government member is attending meetings., If you are really interested in finding a Student Government member, you may want to attend one , of these meetings . Some of these meetings have a great impact on campus life. They include the Student Life , Curriculum, Academic Affairs , and Athletic Committees just to name a few. If you are anxious to talk to a Student Government member, you may want to attend one of these meetings . Honest, meetings don't hurt!' Also Student Government members have an office and , I hope you don't get over-excited but, anyone with any problems or questions is invited to stop by and talk to someone . If we can't help you with your problem, we can definitely find someone who can . This just might save you a lot of problems. Our office is located qn the third floor of Conyngham Student Center and our hours are posted on the door, Dr. Zook also pointed out that he dido ' t know of anything that Student Government did . !"think a good reporter should be a little more alert than he obviously is because Student Government just sponsored their first "major" event this semester and I believe he participated in some of the games and other activities. Its too bad he didn ' t notice that Student Government sponsored it but that is only a fact and facts don't have any place in a newspaper column . As a last point, I would just like to restate something I have said all year. Again its too bad nobody listens or reads . Student Government meetings are open for anyone to attend. If you have any problems or questions, please feel free to bring them to us, that is what we are here for. Who knows? We may even be able to help you! ! I hope that the next time someone in responsible position such as Dr. Zook and his newspaper column , receives a complaint he will know where to forward the complaint if he doesn't know how to deal with it . Don't be Shy! We are willing to help! · ThankYou, Ralph Pringle Student Government President P.S.

Urbanski and James). Haggerty,Jr. Enrezul county is not quite like any other county, in fact one might say its quite unique . lt'S uniqueness comes from the fact that in Enrezul county the people not only elect a coroner and a prothonotary, but they also elect a wizard and an alchemist. In fact , these two offices are the most hotly contested races in the county. Of course this bring~ to mind many questions , and we'll do our best to answer them. These county offices were first created back in the medieval times , and haven't been changed much since then. These offices arose out of the hysteria caused by ·such,,. tyrannical wizards as Merlin . Merlin had never been elected by the people, therefore he was not responsible to the people. Also , the county alchemist was chosen by an ancient ce,remonial right. Many people were outraged by these injustices, so they started an uprising which they called "The People's Uprising" . Like their county officials, the people weren't very creative, either. The govt:rnmental reformists ecutive powet must be derived from a mandate of the masses, and not from some farcical , paganistic .ceremony.'' This slogap was too long to put on posters or signs in mass quantities, and since the printing press wasn' t invented yet, and Xerox machines wouldn1t be invented for another 600 years, the reformers resorted to handprinted signs which read, " Elect the Alchemist and the Wizard." A massive campaign was undertaken to have the government reformed. The current aquaticceremonially-chosen officials objected to the changes. There were fears by the county employees (who were also chosen by an aquaticpatronage ceremony) that they would lose their jobs if the reforms were adopted. Eventually- the reformers won, and the suggested reforms were adopted after a series of battles. These offices are still in existence.today. Unfortunately, the reformers saw the election of the offices of alchemist and wizard ·as a permanent fixture of their new government . And when the times changed , the offices didn't. The alchemist's duties are the same as they were 600 years ago. His job is to turn non-precious metals into gold . Year after year, the alchemist creases in the county budget for his office, and continues to try to change:: metals into gold . At last check , the alchemist hadn't succeeded, yet. We would be wrong if we said that the wizard's job hasn't changed over the years. In medieval times the wizards cast many spells on behalf of the county, and performed many magical acts, such as turning enemy prothonotaries into frogs. Today, the only function of the wizard 's office is making the 'taxpayers' money disappear. About ten years after the creation of the wizard's and alchemist 's office, more reforms were introduced. The offices of prothonotary, coroner, and jury commissioner were . created. Enrezul county was the epitome of medieval government , and since it hasn't changed much since that time, it still is the epitome of medieval government. Even though the changes in government were not great, Enrezul county has been at the forefront of county governmental operations. · Enrezul county is the home of the 'foot to head ' coroner method . In 1642, Egbert Percy, county coroner, ·pioneered the 'foot to head ' examination method of cadavers. This was a revoluntionary method . Since the beginning of time , coroners used the time, we have grown accustomed to the 'foot to head' method . In fact , there hasn 't been a 'head to foot' coroner elected in Enrezul county in over fifty years. Even though the 'head to foot ' candidates continually call for a change , the voters are adamant in their demands for a 'foot to head' coroner. · Another great date in county governmental history is March 9, 1684. On that day, George Dryden (no relation to John) , the Republican jury commissioner, ' invented the barrel crank. Up until this time , the barrel which contained prospective jurors' names was rolled around the main floor of the court house until eight rotations had been completed. Now the jury commissioner's job was much easier than before, so this meant an immediate pay raise. It might be a revelation to our county officials if they visited Enrezul County, but then again it might not be. If they haven 't taken notice of the archaicness of their own county government, they'd probably think Enrezul county government was as modern as the space shuttle.

Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of the Wilkes Language and Literature Department, explains that the proposal calls for a cooperation between the two theater departmeots in producing two out of the scheduled four shows , one to be staged"?lt Wilkes and one at King's . The proposal, which was created by the deans at King's and submitted last year, became more interesting to Wilkes following the termination of 1rnsu1·1 s OF' SG &: Mr. Jay Siegfried's position as theater arts professor and production director. Siegfried's departure leaves Dr. Michael O'Neill as Wilkes ' sole director, a job too big for one man, according to Kaska. A summer program between the two departments is also listed on the proposal, says Kaska, and O'Neill and Wilkes set designer, Klaus Holm, are expected to stay in the area hold. ing up Wilkes' end of the deal. The institutions are expected to cross-list theater arts.classes with them divided up on the different campuses , says Kaska. The proposal is expected to be finalized soon, and the Wilkes Theater Department has already begun preparation for the change. cc ELECTIONS SG . rlEPS: Class of 1985 - Shelly Urban, Al Melusen, Karen Anderson 7 Ellen McDermott, Joe Morrissey, Robert Gunderson Class of 1986 - Randa Fahmy, Linda Fritz, Beth Cortez 9 ~tacy Toslosky, Jeanine Bolinski Class of ~987 - Vicky Straka, Caryl Goldsmith Suzanne Aboutanos, Dave Siegel~an, Debbie Pavlico 9 '.l'eresa Gruzenski CC HEPS: Class of 1985 - Dave Bro~m, Patty DeCosmo, Dave K?linowski, Nancy Moore, Elna Perluke, .Mollie Wildes Class of 1986 - Brian Potoes ki Tom Allardyce, Mike Shipula 1 Lori Elias, Class of 1987 - Dawn Marie Plodwick ••;••····················-·······-• • • : Januzzi's Pizza E i• : & Subs Free De 1·1very •5Large Pie $5.25 =: : ■ Small Pie $4.25 All Subs $2.50 'Ta , incl nded 825-51 66 Corner of Academy·& Ri ver Streets i• I •i i I !'.■■-■.••·························· I I I I I Henry E.

The program is called Career Exchange I, and will allow all students to meet with Wilkes alumni and friends of the college that have made a name for themselves in a variety of fields. There will be alumni that are successful in TV communications, law agencies, the music field, and business, just to name a few. Career Exchange I, will be held on March 22, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the cafeteria. This will allow students to sit down in an informal atmosphere and talk to the alumni in order to get some ideas on the job market on how to become successful. Hritzak wanted to stress that the program is open to all students but that students who participate will , have to sign up at the M~ Roth Center in '' order to find out how many students are mterested in the experience." According to Hritzak, students will come into the dining hall and receive a pamphlet that will give a biography on the people they are interested in, and then the students will be able to sit down and eat lunch with the alumnus of their choice. The pamphlets will also have a list of sample questions that the students may want to ask. --HILLSIDE .FARMS ICE CREAM STORE Boscov ' s Lower Level across from the deli open: 10-9 Mon.-Sat. 1 ~-5 Sunday One free ice cream cone with this coupon .

If Shakespeare had studied numerology he would have thought twice about having Juliet utter those immortal words. Numerology is the study of numbers, such as those derived from a person's name, to interpret his or her personality. Each . letter is assigned a n·u merical value based on the interpretation of the vibration of the sound .established by thl Greek mathematician Pythagoras. This can be equated with the effects that astrology's planetary movements have upon people and their lives. General letter characteristics can be assigned as follows: A,J, S = l ; B, K, T = 2; C, L, U = 3;D,M, V = 4;E, N, W = 5;F, 0 , X = 6; G, P, Y = 7, H, Q, Z = 8; and I, R = 9. Creative and progressive number 1 is an ego-motivated loner. Receptive number 2 cooperatively follows or supports leadership and has the tendency to collect people and things that develop ambitions. Party-lover number 3 easily communicates to others and adds a spice to a variety of imaginative interests. The number 4 is disciplined and number 5 is unconventional. The number 6 is responsible and sympathetic , while number 7 is analytical and strives for perfection. The efficient number 8 seeks material power and number 9 is dedicated to serving humanity. David (Hebrew/Wels~/English) M. Personality Ingredients: First impression is articulate, attractive, and sparked with humor. Inwardly needs creative freedom and independence - in short, to be boss. Personality Extreme: Too lawabiding, or too unconventional. Every letter of the name plays a part in the total personality picture revealed through numerology. Letter/ number values that are missing reveal things that can only be learned through experience. Repetitive · letters/numbers indicate an innate knowledge of that particular area. Each letter/ number has a positive and a negative side; thus one can be good or bad, depending on the side one uses, but the trait remains the same. For example, a number 4 name could be very disciplined or very disorganized. When charting a person's characteristics it is important to use that person's first name as it appears on his or her birth certificate. The name as-it is spelled on the birth certificate illicits the associated traits of the person. According to Ellin Dodge Young, author of the book You Are Your First Name, "Numerology elongates the vision of the nearsighted, ·· blasts through tunnel vision, and just plain sheds light when we want clarity .. Numerology cannot change behavior patterns, but it can reinforce the inner awareness that we have of mistakesthat we made repeatedly and help us to want to work to change behavior patterns that have reappeared and brought about disappointments."

You know the type I mean - the films in which nubile young co-eds are brutally murdered by a craz<i.d , chain sawweilding, attacker. Still confused? Let me tell you what happened . It was the night of the first Beacon layout of the semester. Things were going pretty well and the entire staff was looking forward to an early evening (one that ends before sunrise, that is) . By approximately 1 a.m. all that remained to be done were the headlines . These are usually written by Becky Whitman and me so the rest of the staff left for the evening. Becky and I were the only people left in the emllc. \rndent Center, or so we th"ug. t 1 wa'> ryping headlines and Becky w:i.s checking the copy when we heard a noise. Now, I'm sure everyone's been alone in a building and heard strange , unexplained noises. It happens all the time. Knowing that I love horror flicks an·d attempting to scare me, Becky said, "Did you hear that, Donna? There's someone in the elevator.' ' Before I had a chance to reply, the elevator kicked on . We could hear it moving, but who was running it? We were the only ones in the buildrng. I stared at Becky.. "You just HAD to say that, didn't you?" "Don't worry, we've got scissors." She picked up the scissors only to find ,hat the sharp ends , th e nnl y pan that we could have used in defending ourselves, were gone . They'd been cut off. · We stared at each other. For some strange reason, all I could think of was the shower scene from "Psycho," the one in which Janet Leigh gets stabbed to death while the screen flashes and that weird music plays, "whop, whop, whop, whop." I just kept hearing that music over and over again. It was turning into a real nightmare. Becky, being the quick-thinking person she is, remembered that we also had a hammer in the room . She grabbed that while I typed the last of the headlines. We wanted to get ou,t of there--fast - but Beacon business always comes first . Well, we did manage to get out of the building and yes , we did take the hammer with us for protectiv:-1. It's fun to talk about it now . . .. "Did Becky and I ever tell you about our horror-filled night in the Student Center? " One of our friends suggested that if we ever found ourselves in the same position again, we lock . ourselves in the office and wait for help . I can see it now .W e'd be in the office and hear a noise. In a desperate attempt to save · ourselves we'd break the glass on the light table and blindly strife out at the unknown figure forcing his way into our office. "Oh, we're sorry Mr. Security Guard. We didn't mean to slit your throat, but we thought you were a crazed, chain saw-weilding, attacker." How do you explain something like that to administration? *Weekend · Forecast * Aquarius Oan. 20-Feb. 18) Though Friday night proves boring, Saturday holds the promise of excitement.

Capin describes his future as " returning to my roots." After announcing his resignation, saying he had "accomplished most of his goals," Capin envisioned his life as branching out in two possible directions . "I considered two alternatives,!' said Capin, "to take a year off and then continue teaching full-time at Wilkes, or to return to the accounting profession.'' It seems that Capin has chosen a path that leads to the best of both worlds . Returning to the business community, he has accepted..an accounting partnership which will begin July 1, 1984, with the Parente, Randolph, Orlando ; Carey, and Associates, Certified Public Accounting Firm of Wilkes-Barre. C:,pin says his new dutie.s will include education as well as accounting: ''My primary responsibility will be for continuing professional education, as well as technical matters and various client responsibilities." Capin, who "loves the challenge of teaching," would also like to teach part-time at Wilkes in addition to his accounting career. Capin's background will make the transition from college president to the business world an easy one. He graduated from Wilkes in 1950 with a degree in economics, holds a masters degree from Lehigh University, and is a Certified Public Accountant. In the mid-50' s Capin began teaching part-time at Wilkes and then accepted a full-time teaching position here. He has spent 10 and a half years in senior administration at Wilkes and serves on many community boards and is a member of such distinguished organizations as the American Institute of C.P.A.'s, the Committee of Professional Ethics , and the National Association of Ac- countants. Through his years at Wilkes College, Capin has seen and implemented many changes. "Academically, w~ have held our own," comments Capin, "We have not experienced a substantial step up in academics, but not a substantial slippage· either.'' However, it seems that "credentials for admissions are somewhat less," admits Capin. "A measure of your success is attributable to what happe_ns to your graduates and we can be proud of our graduates . We do not put ourselves forward as an Ivy League school, but we do have quality faculty and academics.' ' Financially, Capin sees the college improving. " We're probably in the best shape since the early 70' s, prior to the flood ." Capin continues, "We' re not in a deficit position at this time, but still have challenging years ahead." One of the highlights of Capin' s last year at Wilkes is being chosen by the senior class as the commencement speaker. In his speech, Capin says he will advise students about the thing~ in life that are sometimes overlooked. 'Tll tell them about the importance of family, loyalty to employee, good health and the importance of money. '' By the importance of money explains Capin, "I mean don't let it be your God . There are other important things in life." Capin will also speak about the importance of having a good reputation . '' Be possesive of your name,'' advises Capin, "A good reputation is a slow building process, but it can be destroyed in one fell swoop." Capin's philosophy about education seems to be unique . One of the most important things Wilkes can do he says is "to prepare students for something otht:r than a job - not only to do a good job but to enjoy living - to have a good life.

" The desert is beautiful, especially at night. While we're there, the cacti and wild flowers should be in bloom ," said Houseknecht . He added that the temperature should be over 100 degrees Fahrenheit during most of the trip. Houseknecht added that the group will also spend a leisurely day in Puerto Pinasco , Mexico , swimming and eating shrimp. Pointing outside he said , "It will be a nice change fr - ;n this weather."

That's an awful mouthful to handle, but all it means that there are students on duty who are equipped to handle emergencies. These students can respond and begin treatment faster than an ambulance . The team is made up of students from various majors who are interested in this type of work and who are also very much interested in the welfare of the campus. The people on the team are not there just to play Jr. Dr. These members have put long, hard hours of work into certification and also foto the team itself. In order to " run " on a squad. The minimum requirement is multimedia first-aid and basic life support (CPR) cards. Other members are certified in advanced first aid and the.re are even a few emergency medical technicians or E. M.T.' s as they are called . These certifications require upwards of 100 hours of training and in the case of the E.M.T., at least 10 hours are spent in a hospital emergency room (not as a patient either!). Members of the squad also put in long tedious hours on the nights they are on duty. Each squad runs dutY. on a rotating basis. They can expect at least one night a week of duty. Heaven forbid it's a weekend. Many Friday and Saturday nights have been spent on creative thinking . . . how many ways there are of strangling a beeper. Many other hours are spent in crowded emergency waiting rooms while visions of upcoming tests and waiting dates flit through your mind. Then lo-andbehold the beeper sounds off and it's "on the road again." · The beeper, one of the printable names that members refer to it as , is the paging system that is set up for the corps.

Anyone interested in playing on this year's team should contact Coach Robert at ext. Tlie initial call is to the front desk (ext . 473). The person on desk duty then calls the beeper and gives the type of call and the location . At the sound of the tone the squad leader '' bolts "' out of bed , or more likely, sort of slithers out with a longing backward glance. He or she then notifies the other members on duty, grabs the megaton first-aid kit and ' 'sprints' ' off to the scerie. The squads are set up so that members of each team are from different·areas _o f the campus, thereby decreasing the response time of the first arrival. Once on the scene, an assessment is made and if needed, an ambulance called. The squad can transport non-serious calls in the aging but serviceable chariot that is provided by the college. This is most often the case as few calls thus far have been life-threatening. The actual tea'.m consists of thirty-six dorm students and commuters and is under the fearless leadership of Captain Don Talenti and First Lieutenant Charlie McCoy. So far this year, the team has participated in the disaster drill that was held in the Wilkes gym and they also toured the Back Mountain Mobile Intensive Care Unit. Up soon on the agenda are tours and lectures from various groups including a blood bank and other departments involved in emergency care. Members are also enrolled in basic and instructors courses in first aid that are being held at the Red Cross chapter house on S. Franklin St. Please support the members in their efforts . The team·is set up for the college's benefit. All that the members get in the way of reimbursement for their time and effort is the knowledge of a job well done and the satisfaction of helping others . Please support the team in their fund raisers or if you see them on a call. Remember it could easily be you , so "let's be careful out there." Even though the College gymnasium is heavily utilized - physical education classes, inter-collegiate athletics , intramural activities and social events - the College recognizes the need for "open hours" for recreational use by our students. Consequently, the following schedule of "open hours" for use by Wilkes students has been developed for immediate implementation for the current sprmg semester. Monday through Friday: 11 p.m. to midnight (prior to Spring break) Monday through Friday: 8 p.m . to midnight (following ~pring break) Saturdays: 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays: 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. Please carry your ID c.1,l! with you J.nJ be prepared to r rc-sem 11 to the person on duty in the gym. This will help to insure that only Wilkes persons are using the gym and noneligible persons will be denied the privilege. Any exceptions to the above hours to accommodate special events at the gym will be posted at the entrance by the Office of Student Affairs. Your cooperation and adherence to this schedule and ID card requirement is appreciate_d.

LYOU CAM BE. �-----------------------------------------------------------pageeJeven The 'Big Two' Survives February Thaw by Tim Williams Jusrt hirty minutes away lie two unique ski resorts that provide greater variability than most other ski resorts can offer. Jack Frost Mountain and Big Boulder are unique in the fact that the same lift ticket is valid at both areas during the specified time of the ticket. Last week we travelled to the Big Two at the tail end of the ''snow drought'' that wreaked havoc among many of Northeastern Pennsylvania's resorts. Jack Frost made enough snow throughout the earlier part of the s)ci season to survive the rains which caused some areas to close down . The conditions at Big Boulder were even better due to the fact that they have night skiing. Therefore the snow is packed down by the skiers for thirteen hours as opposed to Frost 's eight hours per day. We started the day skiingJack Frost in the afternoon and then took the_short drive over to Big Boulder for night skiing. Upon arrivi_n g at Frost you find yourself already at the top of the mountain . All of the attractive, modern facilities are located at the mountain summit .which gives Frost an upside-down ski area appearance. The Summit Lodge"'has ample room to comfortably accommodate a large amount of people. The food service provides several areas at which to purchase a snack or a meal. However, many people choose to bring a bag lunch. A ski shoo . rental shoo lift ticket sales. information desk , and ski school office are all located in, or adjacent to, the Summit Lodge. Jack Frost's eight lifts service the eighteen slopes and trails which vary greatl y to accommodate all levels of skiers . .The East Mountain can please the most daring of skiers while the novice and intermediate skiers have a wide range of trails to choose from . Weather permitting, Jack Frost also has fifteen miles of cross country trails that are available free of charge . Despite an uncooperative mother nature, all of Frost's trails were open with five lifts operating to ensure us a variety of options. Before we knew it, late afternoon rolled around and it was time for us to head over to Big Boulder. Skiers can grab a bite to eat at a few different locations along the ten to fiftsen minute drive to Boulder. Night skiing at Big Boulder proved to be an equally fun experience. As mentioned above, the conditions were very satisfactory. All but a few of the eleven slopes and trails were open and three of the seven lifts were operating . Boulder's spacious lodge and friendly atmosphe!e added to the good skiing conditions. The Big Two's short or non-existent midweek lift lines enable the skiers to spend more time on the slopes than waiting in lines. Also, the thirty minute travel time makes the Big Two the closest alpine skiing facility to the college. All in all I had a very enjoyable time and I plan to go back for more in the near future . Intramural Free-For-All Competition Close by Jeff Weinstein It's anybody's race as intramural floor hockey nears the half-way mark. y With only one team undefeated and a mere 7 points separating first and last , it looks like another fantastic finish. This week, as in all other weeks, unpredictability ruled as no dominant team has emerged. Feb. 19- The Warriors playing behind newly formed lines hit the warpath and mauled the Herkas, 4-1. Don Shaw got 2 and Mike Duncan and Tom Ross each tallied one to lead the Warriors. A re-enactment of Custer's last stand was avoided as Jody Huston poked home the Herkas' only goal. . Ausflug couldn't do · anything wrong in the first period as they scored five straight. Tom Culligan-had three and Steve Braithaite got two. The only problem was that they shouldn't have stepped onto the floor in the second period. The Mom Puckers just got to the arena a little late, as they regrouped and spanked in seven unanswered goals. Vince Acquaviva had three, Mike Deo and Dave Philips split four as the Mom Puckers took over. The Chiefs and the Wildmen played to a 3-3 tie as the teams traded goals. Two late game goals scored by the Chiefs' Randy Rice and John Wojic, found the back of the net late in the game. Bill Ronco, Kurt Kuntz, and Andy Grant had the Wildmen 's tallies. Feb. 20 - Mom Puckers continued to give out lessons and won another as Tom Cosee got both scores. The · Chiefs ' lone point came from D. J. Sparks . Herkas took an earlv lead on a ~core hy Paul Dougherty. -The game re- mained at that until the Ausflug made a move late in the second half. Wuh a minute and a half remaining they called time-out. Then, pulling the goalie it took them only 6 seconds to score . The final 1-1 left both teams a little happy to escape with a tie instead of a loss . Warriors were still on the warpath as they blanked the Penguins, 4-0 . An inspired Warriors team seemed to be coming into their own. Andy Grant scored early in the second half to give the Wildmen a 1-0 lead . This was all the scoring in the hrst half. With time slipping away in the second half (4 min . , 35 sec.) Jeff Weinstein took the Smegma's fate into his own hands and waltzed down the middle to deadlock the score at 11. With 18 seconds left, Steve Shear set up the final score with a picture perfect pass to Mike Kopcho . Kopcho subsequently rammed it home to preserve the Smegma's flawless record. Spammers and Twisters played a tough _physical game . It was scoreless until, with two minutes left, Pete Walsh scored to give the victory to the Spammers. Feb. 26 - Batten down the hatches because · the Twisters are for real. Ausflug fell victim to the gale force play, 8-0, in a game that was over before it started. Smith blew in from the east with five, Chris Zieser whistled in two, and Jim Rei dusted one. The Smegmas continued to roll over the competition, they remain as the league's only undefeated team. Mike Kopcko, Mitchell Reese, and Jeff Weinstein each added a goal to spark the offense, Roy Delay headed up the defense by notching his first ' shutout. The Devils, playing with just enough players, downed the Herkas, Ian 5-4 . The game went back and forth all evening. This cliffhanger went down to the last 56 seconds whenJeffWertz put the Devils ahead to stay, 5-4. The Penguins came back strong after last week's loss and handed the _streaking Mom Puckers a loss. 7-2 was the final tally as the Penguins played totally different from their last 3 outmgs . In a sec;saw battle which saw the Warriors and the Wildmen exchange 2 goals a piece, the Wildmen prevailed . With 34 seconds left in the -game Dave Thomas closed the door giving the Wildmen a 3-2 victory. As it stands right now, the Cap in Cup could go to anyone. If the second half of the season's anything like the first we're in for a wild finish . It could go either way and probably will . Intramural Indoor Hockey league W L T Pts.

Cagers Drop Season Finale The Wilkes men dropped the last game of their season to Juniata, 6870, last Saturday. The match-up was an even battle throughout, with Juniata getting a bucket at the buzzer to pull out the win. Wilkes found themselves trailing 36-40, at the start of the second half and remained scoreless for the first five minutes of that half. With a little over six minutes remaining, Wilkes fought back to a tie when freshman Bobby Collins tipped in a missed John Duesler free-throw . The remainder of the game seesawed back and forth with Wilkes and ' Juniata trading buckets. With 1: 17 remaining, Wilkes worked the ball until the 40 second mark when Dave Piavis threw up :> 15 ft. shot that fell short and allowed a Juniata rebound. A quick time-out by the Juniata hdians and some good strategy wah : l 0 remaining allowed Juniata's Dick Moses to sink the winning bask Qt . This loss drops the Colonels' seasou record to 7-16 overall, and 3-10 in che Middle Atlantic Conference . This MAC record isn't enough for a playoff berth. Senior co-captain Rick Sheaffer closed out his college career with a 2 5. 1 points per game average through _20 games which that makes hii11 seventh in the nation in Division III. Sheaffer scored 569 points this season which makes him the MAC league leading scorer. Sheaffrr will leave quite a gap to fill on next ye;u s squad .

Wilkes breezed by- Juniata by a score of 81 -66 on Saturday, February 18 and then edged East Stroudsburg, 78-74, the following Wednesday. The lady Colonels kept the lady Indians ofJuniata at bay by at least two points throughout the entire first half, and with roughly six minutes remaining, the Wilkes women pushed the difference to ten points as they led , 28-18 . Over the next four minutes Juniata closed the difference to one bucket. Just as the first half expired, the lady Colonels sunk one to leave the count with a 36-32 lead at intermission. , Junior Deanna Kyle and senior Karen Bove combined for 26 of Wilkes' 4 5 second half points to hold off a strongJuniata comeback. The Indians came within one point on several oc- casions throughout the second half. Wilkes held a 60-59 edge with 6:4 1 remaining in the contest . The lady Colonels then managed to unlease ten unanswered points. From then on it was all Wilkes ~sJuniata could only close the lead to nine points. The win pushed the lady Colonels' record to 13-8 , going into the final 1983-84 season game with East Stroudsburg. WC 78 , East Stroudsburg 74 After controlling the first half, Coach Robem ' team found themselves fighting for their lives as they had to come from behind to capture t;'s: win . Midway through the first half the lady Colonels found themselves with a ten point lead. By the end of fifteen minutes of play the lady Warriors had closed the lead to one point. The teams went to the locker rooms as Wilkes held a slim 38-37 half-time lead. The lady Warriors sunk the :it· , bucket of the second half to give them the lead for the first time in the contest . Roughly ten minutes into the sec· ond half, the lady Colonels found themselves trailing by ten points. With three minutes remaining, Bove hit the field goal that knotted the score at 72-72. East Stroudsburg responded with two points . Sophomore Mitch Zawoiski 's shot with 2:20 remaining evened up the score again. Kyle made it 76-74 with 28 seconds in regulation . At the 39 :53 minute mark East Stroudsburg had a chance to tie it up, but the shot was just a little short.

Both grapplers did so by means of a consolation berth this past weekend in the EIWA regionals . Sodano started off well in the tournament by pinning his 118 pound ~illiam and Mary opponent in 5:43 in his preliminary bout. Then , tragedy struck; Sodano lost. Not only did he lose , but he was pinned by Rich Berlinghof£ of Yale . Things began to look bleak for Wilkes' best hope for a national championship. The loss put Sodano in the consolations with only the hope of a wildcard berth to the nationals . The following day Sodano found· himself watching the lights again as his Syracuse foe pinned him in 38 seconds. Sodano 's last bout of the tournament was for fifth place in the weight class against Berlinghof£, the Yale wrestler that pinned him in hi ) first bout of the tournament . Sodano rose to the occasion by deci- berth to the nationals. ~ Billig came into the tournament seeded fourth at 126 and also managed to come away with a wildcard Doug Billig berth of which Wi°lkes captured two of only three available spots . Billig won both of his first two matches to advance to the semifinals. Then, Billig lost to the top two seeds (Santoro of Lehigh and Marquis Marc Sodano of Navy) and found himself hoping for a wildcard berth . Hoth Mark Correl and TomJamicky had advanced to the semifinals only to finish sixth and fourth, respectively. Andre Miller.John Cherrie , Glenn Whiteman.Jerry Scaringe, Mike Garvin, and Paul Wysocki'all were eliminated in the first round of the tournament. Senior co-c aptain Kurt Rowlette did noc participate in the tournament because of an eligibility controversy stemming all'the way back to 1978. Rowlette has been accused of participating in 1978 in the University of Massachusetts' wrestling program which would have caused him to use a year of eligibility.

He said that internships . with a salary ranging from m11, ..•m wage to !~, per hour for a 37 · , work week, .trc opened to students in a broad rang<:: of fields. Applications must be in no later than March 1. The coop. program at Wilkes College has grown considerably since its founding in 1977. Wilkes offers a liberal arts education that has been criticized by students and some faculty as neglecting technical skills necessary for employment in a highly technical, commercial job market. The internship program offers sru- h dents a chance 'to experience the activities of their respective fields, an experience that is often not available in classroom situation. Opportunities for most majors can be found with a little research, said Domzalski. He said that Spring break is a good time to seek out Summer employment for many internships, and students who have not established summer jobs should consider working on an internship. '' An internship is a profitable use of a summer vacation , and an opportunity to receive academic credit lies in a visit to the Cooperative Education Office.' ' The internship program is offered during the school year for students wishing to earn credits while attending class. One of the main values of the coop. experience is the proof of practical knowledge which is added to a resume. The coop. office is located in the back of Roth Halt, which is next to McClintock Hall .

Another feature that's going to have to go is free advertising for campus clubs, organizations, and special services (tutoring , etc.). , While we hate to break this long-standing tradition, one of the hard l~ssons we've learned from our near bankmptcy is that there are no free rides . From now on, everyone will · be required to pay the cost of the professional typesetting. ARGHHHH . .. I hate the word ''typesetting! ' ' That word or any dt rivation thereof trips me into a Twilight Zone ofliving nightmares. It sends a list ot ' 'If Onlys' ' rolling through my brain like the credits at the end of a film: if only our typesetter had kept wprking (the machine not the person whom used to use it) , if only we could get the funds together for a new one , if only I had realized sooner just how much professional typesetting was costing us . .. ARGHHH . Well , there 's no use Hying over spilled milk, or ink as the case may be. At least I've learned a few things from all of this. I've learned that I better get a personal accountant when I get out of here , or I' 11 spend the rest of my life in permanent debt. This money management stuff is harder than I thought.

However to the club 's executive staff, the Talent Show serves more than to raise money. It's a chance to expose to the campus the club's purpose, which is to promote the Big Brother / Big Sister program to the Wilkes College campus. The actual program requires a great deal of concern and patience on the part of its members. Eacll'Big Brother and Sister is required to give more than just time to his little brother or sister. He or she gives his guidance to an all too often misunderstood and sometimes abused child , just like a real brother or sister would. The situations one sees and experiences is often enough to make one scream out in dispair. Yet people stick _, with it , with the basic hope that their time and patience will give that child the understanding he or she needs to become a better person. No two situations are the same, yet whatever your experience, you can't help but acquire a greater vision into the ways of the world. The real world, that is, not just a soap opera world, but the world ofbroken families and tough economic situations. It seems funny, but the biggest thrill a Big Brother or Sister gets is just .; watching the child progress through the years. It's very much a game of patience. You often can't see any immediate change, yet through your words and actions , change becomes inevitable. If the picture you're imagining isn't a pretty one, your right, but its still a part oflife that won't go away as much as we would like to see it disappear. There aren' t too many moments of instant gratification, yet there is still the basic belief and hope that we can make a difference in this world. The Big Brother program is sponsored by the Catholic Social Service , commonly referred to as The Bridge, which is located on the third floor of 15 S. Franklin St. If you think you might be interested in finding out more about the program , they will be more than happy to set up an appointment with you . They realize most people are unsure about obligating themselves since this is a major comll!.itment , so they give you all the time you need to decide and will never press you for a decision. ·If you would like to talk to any of the clu b mem bers beforehand , the club will be meeting on Tuesday or Thursday . afternoons in the future , so as to make the meetings more convenient for commuters. New members are always welcome and its never too late to join. COLLEGE TESTING SERVICE The college testing service is available to all students to assist them in planning courses, programs, and careers. Direction is also offered through personal and educational counseling. The testing service office has been relocated in Ross Hall 251, S. River Street.

"Mackie's Back In Town'' Watch your wallets; Mack the Knife is back in town, and he will be featured in the Wilkes College Theater Department's production of Bertolt Brechts The Threepenny Opera. The production is a combination of two giants from the theater and music worlds. The popular songs of Kurt Wiell add to Brecht's classic adaptation of Gay's Begger's Opera. The musical cont~ins such famous songs as "Pirate Jenny," " Army Song," and of course, "Mack the Knife." Director Jay Seigfried said the play was written in Germany in the eighteenth century and is social commen- tary on the corruption of that society. He said that the play is still effective today in 1984 Northeastern Pennsylvania as satire focusing on economic injustices. The production will be held on February 24, 25, and 26 at the Center for the Performing Arts at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m . matinee on the 26th. Students may attend free with Wilkes identification. Shown are Kimberly Gross of Hamilton, N .Y and Stephen DiRocco of Samsinote, N.Y who will be portraying the Peachums, owners and management of a begging troup.

The following day _ Coach Roberts ' team toppled crosstown rival King's College, 80-68 . The victories upped the ladies record to 12-7. Wilkes dominated the entire game as the Lady Colonels' top three scorers outscored the entire Muhlenberg squad . Kim Smith led all scores with her 24 points. She also added 10 rebounds. 1000 point club member Charlene Hurst followed in scoring with 21 points that night. Junior transfer Deanna Kyle also h.ad a productive night as she pulled in 12 rebounds , tallied six assists , and contributed 12 pomts. Roberts had her team using a manto-man defense which effectively shut down the Muhlenberg offense. Hurst and Smith (also a 1000 point club member) grabbed five steals each . " It was a good win for us," Roberts continued , "It is nice to go into the King's game with this win.'' Against King's, Deanna Kyle 's 30 points led the Lady Colonels to Wilkes' third victory in the last two years over the Lady Monarchs. Kyle also contributed 13 rebounds and 5 steals. Again, Wilkes utilized a man-toman defense that forced King's to t~rn the ball over. on at least 9 occasions. ' ' This also was a good win for us because we are now being considered for the NCAA regionals." Roberts added, "This game (with King's) is always an emotional game and it doesn't matter what the teams' records are - it's always a tough game.'; The Lady Colonels' next contest is Saturday, February 18th at home against MAC foe Juniata. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p .m . LIFT-A-THON INFO.

Coach John Reese's s~uad returned home with 17-15 and 2<'5-18 victories, respectively. The highlight -of the down-to-thewire Army match came at heavyweight, when sophomore Paul Wysocki, replacing the injured Tony Troyan, squeeked out a one point victory over Dan Parietti. That bout gave Wilkes the necessary points needed to stage a come-from-behind victory over the Mules. · · Wysocki, former high school stat<:" champ, is normally a 190 pounde: :; 11 the C\llonels and showed a lot of cour- age wrestling in the heavyweight class and winning when the pressure was on . An impressive individual win for Wilkes was registered in the 126 · pound weight class·. Senior Doug Billig surprised the West point fans by breezing past the talented Dennis Semmel of Army, 8-2. Semmel has Army's best personal log. Other winners for Wilkes in the Army match were Marc Sodano , Andre Miller, and Mark Correll. Gary Sanchez, Glenn Whiteman, Tom Jamicky, Scaringe, and Mike Garvin all lost tough decisions.

Billig, Whiteman, Scaringe, and Garvin won decisions for the Colonels , whileJamicky gained a forfeit. Garvin iced the meet for Wilkes with a major decision over a decent Rutgers opponent. Coach Reese then made the decision to forfeit the remaining two weight classes which made the score 26-18, in favor of Wilkes. The wrestlers will wrap u:1 •i.ieir :iual meet season Saturday \! 2 p.m . when they will host Fram. lin and Marshall.

MAT NOTES: ironman Mark Correll sustained a shoulder injury in the Army match. The senior AllAmerican hopeful has wrestled superbly all season , winning all but two matches. Correll can be counted on to shake off the injury in time for the Easterns. Wilkes' sophomore Marc Sodano will be shooting to better last year's performance in the EIWA, in which he placed third.

No.9 Feb. 3, 1984 Presidential Persona Picked by Sean P. Connolly On December 12, 1983, Wilkes College announced the successor to current President Robert~. Capin. The chairman of the History Department of Sangamon University in Springfield, Illinois, Dr. Christopher N. Breiseth, 47, will become the fourth president of Wilkes College on · July 1, 1984. "We're all very excited," said Breiseth, who was disturbed during dinner by this telephone interview. ''There are a lot of things I like about Wilkes, and my family and I are planning to spend a considerable part of our lives there.'' Breiseth comes to Wilkes with a large list of academic accomplishments: a B.A. in history with highest honors from UCLA in 1958, a B.Litt. (Oxon) in modern British literature from Oxford University in 1962, and a Ph.D . from Cornell for modern European history in 1964. From 1980 to 1983, Breiseth served as president and dean of .Deep Springs College, Deep Springs, California, which is a two-year liberal arts college with a 24-person student body. He also taught history at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and worked as an administrator in the Federal Office of Economic Opportunity in Washington,D.C. "I've been at Deep Springs College which has 24 students to UCLA which has around 25,000 students, which leads to another thing I like about Wilkes - its size," said Breiseth. ''I think 2,000 students is large enough for people to know each other, but at the same .time you have a diverse group of individuals and a comprehensive curriculum." Capin, who has been Wilkes' president for nine years, had announced his intention to join the accounting firm of Parente, Randolph, Orlando, Carey, and Associates, of WilkesBarre'. He will leave Wilkes on June 1, 1984. / I .I \ \ Capin was an accounting professor at Wilkes before he became president of the college in 1975. Breiseth said one ofthe things that drew him towards Wilkes was its unique situation as a private institu- . tion with a close relationship to the local community. He said it is rare to find a private institution with such close contact to its area, and this relationship between Wilkes and the Wyoming Valley presents beneficial opportunities for the college. The president-elect added that Wilkes is a relatively young institution which is positive because it is not caught in a traditional role. "I'm intrigued by the spirit in an economically troubled area. The flood itself, from what I've heard, has shown a willingness of the people to respond and pull together in a tough situation," said Breiseth. He added that the people know how to work in hard times, and this should generate good spirits when things are going well. - ....... \ \ I I Wilkes, like many other American colleges, is faced with an unclear future with the expectance of financial, academic, and enrollment problems. Breiseth stated that he realizes the situation that faces colleges today, but he said that from his visits to Wilkes he has a positive feeling of a "supportive environment with an impressive array of administrators, faculty, and students." The resignation of Dean of External Affairs, Dr. Thomas Kelly, is an immediate issue of new staffing that Breiseth will have to deal with, but as for any immediate or future changes, the president-elect said he will have to work the job for a while. "It will take time for me to become thoroughly acquainted with Wilkes before I can make any decisions," he said, "I'm coming to see what you (Wilkes) are doing, and what I can do to help. I'm calling. for creativity,'' added Breiseth. (Continued on Page 4) �· page two EDfTORIAL-------------~-----------~-----------~--- · .. . -· ,; _ . ~ ' Only " Real Men Can Handle Computer~•\ ~ that's the message the marketers of those new " A.d am " computers seem determined to put across. Have you noticed the new ads for "Adam''. romputers? Someone has decided that the "target market" for this product is· the slightly pimpley, quite-abit-less-than-athletic, smarter-than-usual adolescent male, commonly referred to in high school circles as "the nerd" or " the brain. " · · How are they appealing to these teens? Sex . . . what else? Somehow, I never foresaw the day when something like computers would be sold on the promise that they could get you "laid" (or at least a date for the prom) . First, they show one of these " brains" seated in front of his "Adam" computer, which just happens to be in his bedroom which is dimly lit with a big spotlight on the computer, while his girl, who looks like she should be out cheering the team on or at the local McDonalds with the star of the basketball team instead of sitting watching some wimp play with a computer, sits a respectable distance behind him . As.he tries to e1tplain the intricacies of this machine to her, the beauty queen ooohhhs and aaahhhs and generally acts like sharpening a pencil would present her with hours of intense soul-searching. · Then, as a big finish, the narrator says (in a nice John Wayne voice), "Command the powers of Adam ." "Command" and "Power" are two macho words. Together they stir up visions of Patten, Al Haig and Clint Eastwood, definitely not women's stuff. Then there's the name , "Adam." Now there was a man's man. H~ck if it wasn't for him, there wouldn't be any women (something the stupid b;oads · seem to forget a lot). He got to name all the animals and everything. So, what's all this telling the pubescent male? It's telling him that only.real men can figure out computers, and that if he asks Santa for one next Christmas, he too will attract Homecoming queens into his room. Will this become some new way to e}Cplain his behavior to his parents? ' Dad: What were you and Suzy doing in your room for three hours? Junior: Oh, I was just showing her my disc-drive. _ These give a further message to society. Only less than model material males can use computers, and women, especially nice-looking women are useless around computers. . The only ad for these "Adam" computers that show~ a woman being allowed to touch one of these sacred keyboards uses an exceptionally unattractive woman . When her husband tells her to try typing something in, she looks at . him like he just told her to stick her hands up the backside of a donkey. She then panics when the computers asks her a question . It sure is a g~>0d thing her smart husband is there to tell her to answc:r the comput~r and gener- . ally reassure her. Once again, men prove superior. · I have to ·admire the man~facturers of these computers for being the first high-tech company to realize that sex sells and male chauvanism is coming back in style. I'm afraid it won't take a long time for other computer companies to follow: · Will we soon see Barbi Benton in a fig leave bikini; draped over a terminal , · staring laciviously into the camera and saying in a husky voice, ''Take a 'byte' of the Apple?' ' . Will we see Bo Derek turn down a date with Robert Redford in favor of Woody Allen, because Allen has his own Texas Instruments whatever? Will Cheryl Tiegs and Christie Brinkley team up for the Commodore Vic~ 20? Will Tom Selleck soon charge across our screens, punching out some criminals and then sit down at his IBM personal computer to add them to his " Villians defeated" file , as women in grass skirts fan him and smile admiringly? .While I myself am a computer illiterate (it's not that I haven't tried to learn) , I don't think it's fair to men or women who can work with computers to be portrayed as stupid or less than good-looking . . These ads may last only 60 seconds, but they perpetuate a lot of myths : women are useless in technical and mathematical things, nice-looking women are dumb and smart mert or women are never nice-looking. . The scariest part ofall of this is that, for the most part, it's aimed at a new generation of males who are still at a highly impressionable age. It all leads me to ask, "Ai e these home computers all that great if they can't be sold on their own merits?'' Corrison. Assumes The Position The Beacon would like to welcome their new advisor, Dr. Cynthia Coiison. Dr. Corison-, a communications professor specializing in communications theory, has kindly agreed to take the place of Dr. Donald Leslie who has departed for greener pastures. ~ BOBBV"' HAVE YOU BEEN PLAVIN~ WITH lH05E-COMPUTER .

PRESENTS THE 3rd ANNUAL "TALENT SHOW'' 8.pm $2.00 ..................................... ' �page four IRHCReport by Thomas J. Monsell Inter-Residence Hall Council Presi. dent Alan Melusen emphasized the fact that the bi-weekly meetings of the council were for everybody to attend , not just mem bers . " IRHC is only as strong as its membership, and the larger the membership, the better the activities," said Melusen. These "activities" are events sponsored by the council in order to bring the students of the college closer together. Past events have been the pizza party during finals week last semester, and banana split day last Spring. A topic of major concern to sturdencs was djscussed ooring the meeting last Sunday night 01 Stark Learning Center. This was of course the Alcohol Policy. Advisor Jean Adams told the council that a new policy regarding dorm functions wiII be put into effect wi thi n the next two to three weeks . The party policy regarding quarter kegs u l lx c, L .1~ not been changed. in room one · l c was reported that last ·semester' s fruit basket fundraiser was successful and raised $1 ,207 .00.

The tentative ticket price will be $8.00 per person. · The next IRHC meeting will be Sunday, February 5 and Melusen invites all students "with gripes' ' to come to the meeting and voice their op101on . If You Read Nothing Else, Read This by Rebecca Whitman The problem-plagued school newspaper may have to " stop the presses" permanently unless recent meetings with administration prove fruitful. Many Beacon readers and subscribers may have been mystified by the erratic publication schedule followed last semester. Basically, all of the typesetting equipment broke down repeatedly, causing many papers to be cancelled. These equipment malfunctions caused many unseen problems also. The exhorbitant price for repairs combined with the cost of having the typesetting done profess_ionally succeeded in emptying the newspaper's account at the finance office . The Beacon has asked for further funding s9 that publishing can .take place at least on a by-weekly basis. Since the paper's equipment has been abandoned , enough money to cover the cost of professional typesetting which ranges from $60 to $40 a page, would be needed. W ithout further funding the newspaper will be forced to close for the remainder of the year. W CLHRanked 9th in Valley The Wilkes College radio station , WCLH , was ranked the ninth most popular radio station in the Wyoming Valley, according to a recent survey conducted by Wyoming Valley High School. More than 1100 individuals were polled. ' WCLH broadcasts at 90 . 7 on the FM band and is on the air from 7 a.m. until midnight daily. The station is completely operated by students with the help of faculty advisor Dr. Bradford Kinney. Kinney is involved in thr communications program at Wilkes . A wide-variety of music from ruck to middl e nf rh c wad, and finall) to easy listening is offered at WCLH . Kinney said that thirty-three per cent of the broadcasting time is devoted to educational programs . "This is a station where the students learn to do all the work from being a disk jockey to being a programmer. WCLH is more than an educational station - it is a learning laboratory,' ' said Kinney. The Wyoming Valley West survey found the top ten radio stations to be : 1) \x;'EZX, 2) WKRZ*FM, 3) WMJW, 4) WILK, 5) WJ3AX, 6) WGBI*FM , 7) WARM , 8) WYZZ , 9) WCLH*FM, and 10) WGBI*AM.

He will stay for five days from March 9 to 14 then returning to Springfield , arriving in Wilkes-Barre in June to stay. Dr. Breiseth 's wife, Jane , is from New York State so the area will not be new to them . The Breiseths · have three children: Abigail , 15 ; Erika , 13·; and Lydia , 3. The president-elect said he is going to miss Springfield , Illi, nois, because it has been very nice to him and his family, but that his fami ly is very excited about the move. "I don't know if you heard it," he said on the phone, '' but the girls were fighting to answer the phone because they knew you were calling ." Wilkes should take advaptage of its core curriculum program, according 10 Breiseth, and it should work towards a larger integration of disciplines . "What this means is that students should be exposed to interdisciplinary teaching so that they can see how different fields work. The core curriculum is a fine thing at Wilkes and should tie the disciplines together.'' · Wilkes will have to use its natural resources to accomplish needed fundraising activities, because there are no signs of enlarged assistance from the government or other means. Breiseth us~d the student publication problems as an example . "There are a lot of things not receiving a full amount of money. If the newspaper's equipment is old and in disrepair, they should fi nd some way to use Wilkes' natur:i I constitut>f!ries, say an alumni or a donated printer."

Wilkes defeated Deiaware Valley, 88-83 behind the excellent shooting of senior co-captain Rick Sheaffer. Sheaffer racked up a career high of 37 points. Sheaffer garnered 20 of those points in the all important second half. The Colonels found themselves trailing the Aggies at halftime, 36-39, but with a total team effort they pulled within two and eventually tied the game with 5: 34 remaining. A Rick Sheaffer lay up at the 2:00 mark put the Colonels on top.'8-76 . A good man to man defense and some excellent shooting from Ken . Yakobitis and Dave Zapatocky helped· to increase the Wilkes' lead and clinch the win. Coach Bart Bellairs stated , "the win was a good one to get after losing to Delaware Valley previously in the season. The team played well and was glad to be ori their home court." For various reasons the cagers have found them~lves short-handed this· season. The team Jost four players, kaving them with a weakness at the guard position. ..., Coach Bellairs · has added Ed Kershaw to his team roster in hopes of filling that guard position. ijellairs added, "Kershaw is a dedicated player willing to work hard and that is a good lead for the team to follow .' ' Another addition to the team is freshman Brad Scarborough. Scarborough suffered a broken collarbone during the Wilkes football season and has been siddined ever since. Scat borough stands 6 '4" and is expected to see ·a lot of playing time, addi~g depth to the back court . ··Scarborough feels that team con-· fidence is important and that after the · Delaware Valley game the team is showing more of it. Brad says that if . he can play, a part in helping that team confidence, then he can be an .. asset to the team." Coach Bell~irs sees the turnover of players as "in the team's best interest. Those players who left the team weren't serious about playing ball and those joining are willing to work hard and make the team winners."

Rumor has it that students have offered bribes to Mrs . Meyers in order to gain admission into her ski dases . Elk Mountain is a nice place to ski, and the money that can be saved on the school sponsored bus trips makes Elk even more attractive . Other ski areas such as Camelback, Shawnee, Big Boulder, and Jack Frost tend to be more expensive and more commercialized. However, if you cannot manage to attain a seat on a school sponsored trip , there is an alternative you may wish to try - Ski Cove. The owners of the small ski resort refer to it as the ''Pocono's best kept secret.'' That it just may be. Ski Cove is located just a few miles west of exit 40 in Interstate 81 South . All in all it is just 45 minutes from Wilkes College. The reasons I decided to try such an unheard of ski area are twofold . First , I have been searcqing for a quiet, friendly place where the slopes are not wall-tow~ll people (most of the time I was the only one on the.short but challenging trail). Secondly I wanted a resort that would go easy on a college student 's budget. Ski Cove satisfies both with nonexistant lift lines and a college day (there is also a ladies night discount) . . On Monday's (from 3-10 p.m.) a lift ticket costs $-6 with a college ID (regular price is $11). Rentals (skis, step-in bindings, boots, and· poles) are always $8 . The operating hours vary.depending on the day of the week. For more information you should obtain a brochure from a local ski shop . Ski Cove possesses a charming atmosphere unmatched by any of the larger 1ski areas in northeastern Pennsylvania. There is no great financial risk in trying : this quaint little resort and even if you don't enjoy it you will still get your • money's worth. . ' . II 1 - 11 \ . - =-1J �Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre.
