Hartdagen:Administration Not 'Anti-Liberal Arts' . by Hllen Van Riper Amid ru mors that the College is on the verge of dismantling and/ or discontinuing certain departments within th e humanities , Gerald E. Hartdagen·, Dean of Academic Affairs, stated that "the administration has not become anti-liberal arts and has no intention of hitting the human ities hard ." Hartdagen further emph asi;..:c: th at the College will now and in the future offer courses in the hum anities. These courses wi ll continue as they have in the past to both serve the core curriculum and . to keep the liberal arts nature and reputation of the College. However, he added that a num ber of factors are forcing the College to eval uate its com\Ili ttments to certain of the humanities depart ments . Fiscal difficulties caused by a decrease of overall student enrollmen t and a prolonged decline of st udent interest in certain areas of the human ities has resulted in much extensive discussion of alternatives and solutions. Much of the di scussion has cen tered upon the anth ropology minor , the theatre arts major , the fo reign language and philosoph y majors, and the possibility of merging some of the smaller humanities departments. According to Hartdagen, nothing is definite as of yet, and all of the f~l lowing possible changes are still m the verv early stages of development. Of the five tentative proposals . Hartdagen cited the elimination of the anth ropology minor as th e most probable. This proposal is current ly before the Curriculum Committee 1 awaiting approval. Hartdagen explained that for a number of years the College had tried to build the anthropology pro,1iram and become the only i~ stitution in northeast Pennsylvania to offer such a major . However , in sufficient enrollment forced reductions and the elimination of the major. The minbr · was maintained , but a current flagging of st udent interest is forci ng the elim.i nation of it as well. If the proposal is approved , the College will maintain courses in ~nt hropology as necessary to serve th e core. Also proba ble, according to Hart dagen, is the discontinuation of the theat re arts major. This proposal has also prompted by a decl ine in en rollment. The proposal, if adopted, wo uld have theatre arts become one of th e concentrations offered in communications. Another option under considerat ion fo r both the T heatre Arts and the Foreign Languages Depart ments is the institution of joi nt cooperative programs with Kin g's College. Hartdagen stressed that such joint programs woul d both maintain the maj'ors and "enh ance the educ~:ional possibilities fo r the st udents . Such programs would serve to strengthen th e legi timacy ol the majors . Hartdagen cited the major in German as an example . At pres - Com-mittee Reviews Curriculum by Ellen Van Riper The ad hoc Curriculum Review Committee recently subm itted to the Curriculum Committee's Long-Range Planning Committee for approval recnmmendations regarding the College Core Requirem~nts. This committee , headed by Dr. Thomas Kaska, chairman of th~ Department of Language and Literature , and comprised of repr_esentat1ves _from various ot)ler academic departments, was formed last sprmg by Preside nt Capin . The purpose of this committee is to review and analyze the present Wilkes College Core and to compose revisional recommendations for future Core Requirements . · . The following is a listing of the proposal set forth by th e ad hoc Cumcu lum Review Committee to its parent committee . . If approved , the proposal will he put before th e fac ult y for a vote of either denial or acceptance. e11t there is only one instructor. Dr. Wal ter Karpinich , and this lack of staff is not conducive to a major program of high calibre. Joint programs with King' s would help to solve this problem. With the departure of Dr. Roder ick Stewart at the conclusion of this semester and perhaps an additional departm,~ntal departure at the end of next year, the major in philosophy might also ·be eliminated .

Tens of thousands of women would suffer serious medical complications, such as pe rfo ration of the uterus from sell~induced abort ions. and as many as 250 women would die eac}l year. Recently an estimated 26 ,000 "pro-life " dem onstrators marched in the nation ' s capitol to pro test the anniversary of a U.S. Supreme Court deci sion that upheld the right of women to have abortions. Most of the people who attended the march felt that abortion was murder . Dr, Jack C.

The statement Wilke has made was shared not : only by the participants in the protest but many · readers of local newspapers who support his view . The common view that these "pro-life" supporters shared was that if a proposed amendment outlawing abortions was passed by Congress many lives (of the unborn) would be spared. The National Abortion Rights Action League, a group fighting for abortion rights, knows that if this proposed amendment is passed horrible con sequences will still take place.

Donna S----------------------------- Sordoni Director Replies To Review To the Editor: Let me begin by saying that . 1 read with interest Mr. Henry E. Long's review of 28 January and heartily welcome his intention to write serious art criticism. I feel compelled, however, to comment on his ideas concerning the Sordoni Art Gallery's current, Pennsylvania Prints. Mr. Long' s contention that the exhibit.ion is merely reportage , '-' a statement of Pennsylvania's existence," suggests a rather li~ited view of what is to be considered aesthetically meritable. Furthermore, it belies a serious misun derstan di ng of the role of art prior to the late n ineteenth century. _Before that time art ists worked to a greater or lesser degree within the constraints of representationwhether it was portraiture, religious painting, or heroic sculpture. To imply, as Mr. Long does, that such constraints preclude the possibility of artisitc expression is absurd. The works exhibited in Pennsylvania Prints were executed withi,1 certain limits dictated by their inherent purpose. The results can not be categorically dismissed because they are representational any more than one can dismiss English portraiture, nineteenth century stilllife, or Photo Realism. Art for art's sake is a relatively new development in the history of art. It does not refute all that came before. While it is easier for some person's aesthetic sensibilities to be moved -by the shock of the avant -guarde, the art student would be well advised to take his or her lessons from even the most humble of predecessors. If the art students on this campus would like to see an exhibi tion of contemporary expressionism (the style is curren tly intern at ion al rather than singularly German as Mr. Long suggests), I would welcome the opportunity to work with them in organizing one. My door is open. Sincerely, Judith H. O'Toole Director Sordoni Art Gallery Wilkes College N .A.R.A.L. has also pointed out that some anti · choice fanatics, who consider people like _Henry Hyde and Ronald Reagan too soft , are irrevocabl y committed to passage of an amendment that would outlaw all abortions under any circumstances , in eluding cases where childbirth would result in the · death of the woman . I am indebted to N.A .R.A.L., for this group , like me holds the belief that abortion should be a personai decision . They also point out that in a recent survey taken on abortion, only one percent of those who support freedom of ·choice have been active in defense. N.A.R.A.L. urges that more people who support choice should become vocal, especially now, because of the increasing pressures of those anti-choice ,~' ,,, are applying increasing pressure on Congress. Across the Wilkes College campus these days rumblings are heard over the planned departures of a number of faculty members. Although the precise number of teaching changes has yet to be publicly unveiled, certain names have made their way into the campus grapevine. Among political sdence majors, especially pre-law students, the loss at the end of this semester of Dr. Robert Freysinger is causing '!lore than a little consternat10n . Freysinger has gaii:ied a_ follow!ng here for conducting mterestmg classes and teaching that strong rhetoric must be backed up with substance . 1n the music department , the loss of Jerry Campbell is being met by his students as a blow to the overall quality of the department. Likewise, the anticipated departure of Drs . Roderick Stewart and John Stevens in the philosophy department isn't being received well hy students in that major. To he fair ; there ·is no-thing new ahout student s being upset or protesting the loss of respected faculty members. ' The relationships that form between a teacher and students lend themselves to the type of loyalty that is accounting for much of the disgruntlement heard on campus today . But stripping away the emotionalism of the faculty changes, the entire situation raises a question about the overall direction Wilkes is heading in. There is every indication that in recent years Wilkes has been em phasizing those department~ that were immediately responsive t? the career goals of students : bus1n_~~, _nursi!1g, and sciences . Such an emphasis could be defended on the grounds that Wilkes was staying afloat fin~ncially b_y responding to a trend m the pnvate sector toward hiring people who had a "defined" education rather than a broad-based liberal arts upbringing. The problem with that defense can perhaps best be found in the ..,lfll~ of a Madison Avenue adv~rtising executive who once remarked : "By the time you ' ve spot ted a trend it ' s usually on th e way out . '' As a matter of fact, there' s recently been a marked change in the attitude toward liberal arts education on the part of both the private sector and the academic community. No longer is it viewed as a hollow shell, capable of producing people whose only virtue is being witt y at cocktail parties . The liberal arts education is returning to its place of prominence as a strong base from wh ich its students can venture forth in the real world. Wilkes ' reputation as a quality place of higher education was fo unded on the concept of liberal arts education . It would be too bad if Wilkes turned its back on what made it good in the past and coul d make it good in the future . John M. Anderson Reif Claims Last Week's Perspectir,e Out Of Focus To the Editor: John Finn's description of the present state of affairs in the US of A is good enough but his assign ment of a cause leaves much to be desired. The root of the problem, even the problem itself, is human overpopulation, and the US of A is the most overpopulated nation on Planet Earth . The present system em ployed by western civilization cannot sustain itself much longer if the num ber of human beings continues to increase. FDR, eschewing M_r. Hoover's more realistic actions, decided that the federal government , with ~!Tie state aid has been underwntmg overpopuiation and has gone into debt to do just that. To blame Mr. Reagan for 'the present situation is to disregard ecological facts. Mr. Reagan may not have the answer but he should be given credit for having attempted to reverse the trend toward collapse of the sys_tem. If people cannot solve tlie problem, the environment will find a way to eradicate the species which is kill- ing the goose which lays the golden eggs. Respectfully, Charles B. Reif Taking the rubber out of checks Merchants in campus communities frequ ently complain abo ut students bouncing checks. But in Malibu , ~alif., home of Pepperdi ne U., merchants know that what the students don 't cover , the student government will. Under a new program initiated this fall, the Student Government Associ ation covers bounced checks of up to $20 written by students with valid identification . After a merchant sends a check through the bank twice, he sends it to the SGA, which then reimburses the merchant and bills the student. If a student doesn't respond to two SG A letters, the amount of the check, plus a $5 charge, is added to the student's activity fee for the upcoming quarter . The student must pay the fee before registering. The purpose of the program is not to make it easier for students to bounce checks, but to cover "cash -flow problems" typical to college _students, and to promote better relations with Malibu merchants, says Patti Yoma n tas, director of public information. �February 4, 1983, The Beacon, Page 5 Prop et Perspective ..................................................................... by John Finn "Scorched earth" (the smell of napalm in the morning) is a phrase currently being used to describe the policy of the military dictator of Guatemala , one of four Central American countries now in the midst of revolutionary upheaval. In order to destroy the base of a strong leftist insurgency, General Efrain Rios-Montt , a self-proclaimed born-again Christian who seized power last March in a coup, has been systematically burning villiages and massacring large populations of Indians and peasants in rural mountain- regions. Amnesty International , a non-partisan human rights group, estimates that 3,000 Indian peasants were murdered by government forces between March and August of 1982. Several hundred thousand more are fugitives in their own land, the victims of a conflict they did not start and do not understand. This is the,. nature of the second phase of the war in Guatemala. The first phase of brut- al political repression was carried out i11 the few cities and larger towns. The Guatemalan government now claims, with some truth, that in key urban areas, death tolls have declined drastically since the end of 1982. This is logical , since in many key reg_i_s)ns, there are simply fewer people left to kill. For three years , Guatemala received no economic aid from the United States due to these messy human rights matters. In Decem ber, though, following his first and only meeting with Rios-Montt , President Reagan announ ced that he would recommend to Congress that military and economic aid be resumed to Guatemala because of significant improvements in human rights. The general must be a very persuasive speaker. Similarly, la~t week the presi dent certified to Congress that hum an rights progress had been made in El Salvador and that a $360 million aid package should be sent. In the past three years, more than 36,000 civilians have been slaughtered and the horrors of this small nation are tragically bec;oming a cliche. But the argument is that since political murders have declined from 10,000 to 5,000 annually, this is progress. T he Reagan administration justifies this situ~tion by · saying that the rebel forces are on the run and can finally be crush ed if our support for the madmen on the far right does not waver. But something doesn't quite fit. Clearly, the rebels are more in con trol than we have been led to believe , for on January 19 , the political leadership of the left announced thast the war would shortly spread to the center and the south of El Salvador. Less than two weeks later the rebels launched a major offensive in those regions. Not only are they picking the ground to fight on, they are even courteousl y announcing thei r intentions in advance. The current approach to the con flict in Central America has evidently failed. The only question now is about the degree of fur ther damage it will cause before it is changed . The Reagan strategy was to explain the problems as the result of Cuba and Nicauragua exporting socialism and terrorism to otherwise peaceful, trouble -free countries. This explanation alone is invalid for its obvious inability to] explain why the seeds of socialism or Marxism or revolution are find ing fertile soil in the region in the first place. These revolutionary movements clearly have a substantial popular base or they would not have such strength and momentum . But because the Reagan 'solution' on ly acknowledges one side' s point of view, it has alienated the largest segment of the· population . Traditionally , this group straddles the middle of the political spectrum. Now , in both El Salvador and Guatemala, the years of repressive tactics from the Right have caused a polarization that has forced millions of citizens to choose sides, and not many are moving our way. The Reagan policy is now entering its most terrifying and insidi ous phase:· As popular opposition rises against the U.S. backed military regimes, the president speaks of the importance of democratic Conservative Comment by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Hagg~rty, Jr. For the third consecutive year , Ronald Reagan has set the political agenda. Not surprisingly as a result of his 1984 budget proposal, the predictable storm ,of criticism from the media, the left, the right, and every other direction possible has ensued, as it does whenever a trul y far-reaching proposal is made . Looki ng comprehensively at the 1984 budget proposal , we see the Reagan budget as pragmatic and fai r, despi te claims to the contrary. Point after point in the budget demonst rates its overall soundness. The most controversial -and important item of the proposal is the freeze on most spen ding. This calls for keeping government programs without built-in increases, such as cost-of-living allowances, at 1983 levels. The two advantages to this proposal are the cap on skyrocketing federal spending which it provides, and the overall fairness of this comprehensive freeze . Passage of · this item will prevent special interest groups from claiming their program has been unfairly cut. We all know what happens at budget time--cuts are proposed, but by the time all affected parties , such as senior citizens, students, minorities, and all the rest of the groups with their han ds in Uncle Sam's pocket, have their say, nothing is really cut out in the end. A freeze on federal spending will prevent th is, and will limit any one program from being more affected than the others. The next major part of Reagan 's proposal is his $ 5 5 billion in defense savings over the next fi ve years. This is a hard item for us to swallow , since we see these cuts as affecting our overall military readiness, which has ·just begun to improve under President Reagan . These cuts are a set backwards , but in the interest of compromise and fairness, we realize that defense must be cut for political reasons. These cuts he! p the president 's position in that they demonstrate that everyone is suffering a little in th i!; austere budget, even · the mighty Pentagon . Another of Reagan's sound proposals is his controls on benefit programs, such as food stamps and medicare. These programs have historically been the fas test growi ng in the budget , and are the principal cause of deficits. No, despite what you have heard, defense spending and tax cuts are not the causes of defi cits. Over the past 25 years, defense spending has gone down in its share of the Gross National Product, and tax rates have increased. It is social spending which has skyrocketed to astronomical percentages , much more than had been the case two decades ago . In this period , the deficits have skyrocketed. Simple logic points to social spending as the reason. Presi dent Reagan 's new proposed con trols will help assure that this spending is moderated and that only those who deserve aid will get it. The government cannot afford these programs otherwise. As our final point, we must compare the president 's proposals with those of the Democrats. While President Reagan offers specific budgetary items to reduce spending, ·the • Democrats say vaguely that they will '' control spending.'' Their other two points for recovery are equally vague. They speak of some ''tax reform,'' which we all ~gree with, but they 99n '_t__have__~ principals and "drawing the liae against communism," and then quietly moves to provide more military hardware and training for security forces. Even though it does not seem likely that President Reagan will change course and seek a political and diplomatic solution by recognizing the legitimate problems of the region's people , it may be. good to consider former Mexican President Pnrtillo 's comment that ' ' what i~ taking place . . . and what is blowing throughout the whole region, does not constitute an intolerable danger to the basic interests and the national security of the United' States. What does constitute a danger for the U.S. is the risk of history's condemnation as a result of suppressing by force the rights of other nation s.'' •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• plan for it. They also went out on a limb in favoring lower interest rates, but again their only proposal was some gi bberish about legislating to the Federal Reserve. For other problems, such as education and research and development, they propose "co_rporations" to solve. Sorry Tip, more bureaucracy isn' t what we had in mind. A ll in all , the Democratic proposal presents admirable goals without any realistic way of achieving them. love him or hate him , you must say this about the president. His budget is the only one wh ich spec- ifically addresses today's vital issues with specific solutions. Even if you dislike the president, you must respect h is political courage in doing this.

T he Debate Union going to its first tournament outside of th e U.S.A . traveled to Montreal, Canada for two days of major com petition in the area of forensics and debate. The -competition consist- _ ed of individual public speaking contests in oratory, informative speaking, interpretation of literature, improvisational acting, extemporaneous discourses , an d impromptu orations. Plus there was competition in traditional debate as well as the very popular LincolnDouglas (one on one) debate. Wilkes entered all events. With more than 15 3 competitors represent ing 15 colleges and urt'tversities, the members of " Kinn ey's Kids " won an impressive 13 troph - ies. The Debate Team consisting of Walter Shonfeld and Donna O' Toole completed the tournament with a perfect record. They defeated th e U.S. Coast Guard Academy in the fin al round to clinch the top award. In addi tion , Shon feld was named the outstanding debate speaker and his partner O'Toole was awar_ded the fifth place outstanding debate speaker. In Linc;oln-D ouglas competition, the Debate Union made an admirable showing with equal win/loss records. Those entering this form of competition were: Susan Loveitt, Annette Winski, and Darrell Lewis . In the public speaking competition Wilkes captured seven awards. Winski, completing her first year , 'picked up a fifth place troph y in extemporaneous speaking, a third place victory in informative discourse , and a fifth place honor in persuasive oratory. Her team mate O'Toole, in addition to her debate awards , secured a third place finish in impromptu oration6. O ' Toole. along with Lewis . won a fi ft h place troph y in improvi ~ational act ing. O'Toole showed her versatil ity when she teamed up wit h Shon feld and they won thi rd place in dramatic duo competition-an oral acting form of speaking. Loveitt, a senior, · won Dr. Kinney 's 500th coaching awa rd by fi nishing the competition in persuasive orations with a second place troph y. In the final awards assembly it was an nounced that Wilkes College had two of the top fi ve speakers fo r overall competition.

Probably the best way to begin to describe all of the fun and satisfaction you will gain by becoming a member is to bring you up to <late on some of the activities that Cird e K has been involved in. The Christ mas season and semester break was an especially busy one for Wilkes College Circle K 'ers. The largest project accomplished by Circle K was a 12-hour dance marathon held for the benefit of Muscular Dystrophy that raised $324. The marathoners ' 'Danced the Night Away" for 12 hours from 9 p.m. Saturday, January 15 , to 9 a.m. Sunday, January 16, in the Wilkes College Gymnasium . Because of inclement weat.Aer, there were few dancers , but those who were present enthusiastically spent the night dancing for MD. Wilkes College Circle K had two award winners for the most amount of money pledged . Cherie Silviano won first place and Rick Heck captured third place for his contribution . · Michelle Lamare from St. Rocco's Youth Group won second place. Preceeding the dance marathon , Wilkes College Circle K was host for a Tri-K Rally. The Tri-K fam ily consists of three groups of clubs: Key clubs from the high school level, Circle K clubs from the col lege level, and Kiwanis clubs from the community level. · The afternoon was spent attending workshops aimed at improving certain aspects of the clubs such as leadership, fund-raising, and membership. Circle K District Governor Mary Rita Gayz, from Pennsyl- vania State University, Lehman campus , was present , as well as other dignitaries from the Key Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs within the Pen nsylvania District . The rally was foll owed by a buffet dinner held in the Susquehanna Lounge of King 's College. Circle K Intern ational President Dave Kelly arrived from West Virginia to meet with members of the Tri-K family in the Pennsylvania Distri ct and to attend the dance marathon later in the evening. Although members were busy preparing for these two events, they also participated in other projects. One pre-Christm_as pr.oject was helping to trim the Christmas trees of various elderl y high-rise apart ment buildings. Besides trimming t he trees, Circle K 'ers also sang Ch ristmas carols with the senior citizens. Ci rcle K'ers also assisted at the 50th Wilkes Open Wrestling Tourney on December 29 -30. Members acted as runners between the judges tables and the announ cer. They also hel ped to post scores after the matches. In January , Wilkes College Circle K received a plaque from Mul tiple Sclerosis in appreciatibn for their annual Haunted House . Each year, Circle K 'ers become ghouls and goblins to try to '' scare up some money for MS. This school year, the '' 13th Floor' ' of Gus Genetti's raised $1900 for Mul tiple Sclerosis. The planning for the induction of officers and new members was first priority of the new yea r after return ing to classes. T he Circle K induct ion dinner will be held t>n February 13 in the school cafeteria. Following the buffet dinner, the following officers will be installed : Patty DeCosmo, president ; Shawn Sharksnas, vice president ; Lori Elias, secretary; and Jennifer Ogurkis, treasurer. Fourteen new mem ~rs will also be welcomed formally into the club . When the Circl e K Club is not acti vely part icipating in any event , • they spend most of their free time in the clubroom, located in the basement of Chase Hall.

H ope to see you there! . - - - - - - -- --Scientifically Speaking-------- . The conservation Controversy by Melissa Meyers In today's world of technology and convenience, it is easy to discern science as a pursuit bent on man's mastery of his environment . However, there now exists a growing number of people concerned with protecting our nation's natural beauty against the threat of modern technology. Conservationists and developers are finding themselves at odds now more than ever , and this conflict is nowhere more apparent than in the case of Ameri ca 's national parks . Our nation has always held a tradition of preserving at least some natural lands. President Benjamin Harrison set aside the first forest reserves in 1891. His efforts were succeeded by those of Theo- <lore Roosevelt who created a Natiu,d Forest Service in 1905 . To- da y, national lands e ncompass 191 million acres , set aside to "best meet the needs of the American people." It is not the principle of preserving ·federal lands that has been challenged recently, but the ambiguous language with which such preservation is qualified . The problem lies in how to best use these lands without entering the realm of abuse. National forests and wildernesses are used in many ways-for timber , miriing, grazing, and recreation . It is not illegal to use these resources ; in fact, the law provides for their propagation . However , there is a firie line between exploration and exploitation, and it is this line that current legislation seeks to define. In 1964', Congress passed the Wilderness Act in the interest of settin~ aside areas "unspoiled by man. ' The act is by no means airtight , allowing for oil, gas, and mineral exploration until January of 1984. The impending deadline has brought about a flurry of activity ( applications for exploration numbered more than 1,000 in 1982 alone). Such efforts are only encouraged by Secretary of the Interior James Watt, whose goals for 1981 include "opening wilderness areas .'' If developers (and, seemingly, Secretary Watt) have their way , our national lands may face destruction . Though this statement may sound far-fetched, consider what has already happened in several national parks. The Monongahela Nation al Forest was subjected to clearcutting in 1963 , a process of extreme timbering which led to extensive deforestation . While the Forest Service held that it was engaging in sound forestry practices, opponents argued that wildlife, watershed , and recreation were suffering. After a 1973 court battie, the clearcutting was stopped, but the National Forest Management Act of 1976 again gave permission for this method "where deemed best." Strip mining for coal has so damaged forests that obtaining a permit for mining in Wyoming's Thunder Basin Nation- • al Grassland can take up to five years. In Utah's Manti -La Sal , indiscriminate mining has already caused subsidence of vegetation. Horror stories of other abuses are simply too numerous to mention here, but the list goes on. Few people would deny that current society places unreasonable demands on its resources , but this does not necessitate passing the burden on to our national wilderness.

Amnest y In ternational is a worldwide human rights organization working for the release of prisoners of conscience, for fairer trials for political prisoners and for an end to torture and the death penalty. Timothy Cain , coordinator of the local AI group , explained how Amne st y International works . Members write letters on behalf of the imprisoned and tortured to the appropriate government authorit ies . . They try to make the general public , as well as the "offending government , aware that they are detaining people for ~asons of conscience." Members keep applying pressure to the government un til the violation stops . · There are several ways in which the group works . One way is through adoption groups. These groups consist of approximately 4 or 5 people. Each group works for at least two prisoners who are being held in countries other than the group's own country. The "adopted" prisoners are from different geographical and ideological political ki llings. • The _~1mpus network · plans to establish 1 local camp!lign for the abolition o, torture. This is the in. tern ational AI campaign for the year. They will also be participating in a call for general amnesty for all prisoners of conscience by circulating petitions. These petitions, which are also being circu lated by other AI members through out the world , will be presented to the U.N . General Assembly in October. They are also working on bringing in a guest speaker this semester. The campus network consists of approximately 2'5 volunteers. According to Cain. the group is "actively looking for people who would be willing to write letters." Anyone can become involved in AI at anv leve! thev wish . Amnesty International•~ efforts do produce results : approximately 40 percent of all the prisoners who are adopted get out of thei r situation. Amnesty International consists of more than 250,000 members in more than I 30 countries. It is "independent of all governments, political factions, ideologies, economic interests, and religious creeds.'' backgroun ds to reflect Amnesty In ternat ional ' s impartiality. The group then writes letters to the heads of state of the countries in which the prisoners are being held. They also send material aid, such as medicine, food and clothing , to the prisoners and their families. Another way AI works is through urgent action groups. M~mbers of these groups are periodically called on to send letters to assist persons in extreme danger- those who the movement has reason to believe are being tortured or executed. Amnesty International members also work through country cam paigns. These are special efforts to call attention to human rights violations within a particular country . The Amnesty International group at Wilkes is a campus network. As such, its members are involved in "country campaigns, urgent actions and in educating their campus community on human rights." The Wilkes campus network concentrated on Uganda and Poland during thei r summer coun try campaign. They will continue, concentrating on Poland until midsemester when they will turn t_heir efforts to the U.S.S .R. Thev also plan to work on Namhia and on Unexpected Ben~fits Available To vets Veterans at Wilkes may have many opportunities open to them which they do not know about. John Hornberger , director of the Veterans Office at Wilkes, stated that a lack of information is one of the main reasons that so many veterans miss out on what is available to them. Though there are more than 50 veterans currently enrolled in courses at Wilkes, Hornberger reported that there should be hundreds. According to Hornberger , the reason there are not more vets on campus is because so many are un aware of the educational benefits available to them . He also reported that more current recruitment emphasizes that the government will pay for college for enlisted men , when only a few years ago, the same benefits were available, but went unpublicized . ''If you were not looking for the information, chances were you'd miss out on all .that was available and it was, and is considerable," said tfomberger. In an effort to better control the situation the Veterans Administration now requjres that all students who are collecting veterans benefits to report to the veterans affairs office on their campus.

This need is recogn ized by organ izations such as Defenders of Wildlife, Nationa.I Wilcil ife Federation , Izaak Walton League and the Sierra Club, who use their somewhat limited funds to fight a much larger . wealthier bureaucratic machine. Perhaps more importantly, the need for preservation of federal lands is illustrated by the hun dreds of thousands of Americans who visited our shrinking wildernesses in 1982. These people already know what the rest of the country may learn only when it is too late-that unless prudent action is taken, we stand to lose our most vital natural resourse. T his resource is the very land upon which America is built . Some of the benefits listed under higher education for the veteran include: the VA will pay the vet while they complete high school; go to college or while in an apprenticeship program. Also, the Veterans Educational Assistance Program provides financial assistance under the voluntary contributory education program in which the government matches the veteran's contribution for funding for school after separation from the service. Currently, these programs are only available for up to 10 years after someone is discharged, however. many groups are trying to get this rule abolished. Vets are eligible for roughly $100-$342 per_ month under various collegiate programs, while still being allowed to apply for reguJar state and federal loans and grants. They are also eligible for work-study jobs on campus. Hornberger explained that the Veterans Affiars Office is set up to assist veterans on campus or those in the community interested in education and does not as a group take part in any political matters, such as assistance for victims of agent orange. The Veterans- Affairs Office is now located in Stark Leaming Center , room 276. , )W'}Mi':. . ~ :al'JC)ml)!Xmal!

The show will last approximately two hours and include a variety of comedy and music acts. Judges will choose first, second and third place winners. Greg Marshall, chairman of the show, reported that the admission price of $1.25 will go into the treasury of Big Brothers/Bi~ Sisters. "Most of it will go toward paying the cafeteria bill tha~ people have run up from taking their little brothers and sisters to the caf to eat," stated Marshall. "The remainder will be used for the end-of-the-year picnic and perhaps a trip to the Bronx Zoo that would be co-spon -' sored with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters at King's.'' The Big Brothers/Big Sisters Club on campus is associated with an organization known as The Bridge or Big Brothers/ Big Sisters of Luzerne County. This organization matches members with a child who they are asked to spend at least four hours a week with. "We don't shower them with gifts or act like Santa Claus," stated Marshall, "we're just supposed to spend quality time with them, even playing softball or something.'' Marshall went on to explain that the children involved are usually from single parent families, and that their names are submitted when the parent feels the child needs guidance. Often it is motherless girls who are given Big Sisters and fatherless boys who receive Big Brothers. By Marshall's estimates there are approximately 60 Wilkes students involved in Big Brothers/Big Sisters, 3q to 35 of whom are match ed with children . Tim Dillon is the president of 1he Wilkes branch of the organiza tion. · The fact is that censorship always defeat_s its own purposes , for it creates , m the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion . . .

The first seminar, ''Nursing is Looking UP: Meeting Spiritual Needs in Nursing," will be held Feb. 22 from 3-5 p.m. The event ;s free of charge. Conducting the seminar will be Sharon Fish . Fish , who.received her master's degree in nursing from the University of Rochester , is coauthor of the book , ' ' Spirtual Care , th e Nurse ' s Role." According_·to Felice , ~he approach that the Wilkes Nursing Depart ment takes is that man is a physical , emotional , sociological , spiritual and cultural person . But, she noted that this spiritual aspect is often overlooked. She pointed out that as people .· age, they tend to have a closerrelationship with God. · ''Nurses are aware of this relationship,'' Felice explained. '' but feel untrained in how to deal with this in a hurting person ." She stressed that the purpose of this sem inar is to help ident ify man 's spiritual aspect and teach nurses how to relate to it. The second sem inar , " Burnout and What Can Be Done About It ,'' will be held April 13 beginning at 9 a.m . A fee will be charged for the workshop. The featured speaker for the allday event will be Vicki Lachman, who has her master's degree in nursing and currently is a doctorate student at Temple University. · According to Felice, Lachman takes a " very individual approach in defining stress and burnout. "She'll take us through our stress response and teach us what we can do about it," Felict said, "and not make the patient, our job or our personal life suffer. What she' II tell us isn't job-related; it is life-related.'' Her approach includes: exercise and relaxation techniques, nut rition information, asserti veness training , stress identification , th e importance of support systems and design ing personal stress-reduction programs. Both .seminars will be held in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for • the Performing Arts and are open to the public. Persons interested in the seminars may contact Diane Felice, ext . 232, for further information or registration .

On January 26 , the ladies notched an impressive 84-81 win over the Lady Monarchs of King's College at the Scancllon Gym . However, on the final day of the month the team travelled to Philadelphia and were derailed by the Division II Philadelphia Textile Lady Rams, 87-69 . The season record now stands at 8-4. The contest against the Lady Monarchs was part of a three-game sweep by Colonel teams over their cross-town rivals, as both tile men's basketball and ice hockey teams also recorded victories over the Monarchs. It was not a very ,llOOd evening for those in red and goTd. Earlier in the season the Lady Colonels had edged the Lady Monarchs 72-71 at the Wilkes Gym, so the King's women were eager for revenge. As in the first contest between the teams, the Lady Monarchs were forced to take the floor without injured All-American Mary Beth Bowler. As usual, this Lady Colonel and Lady Monarch matchup was both emotional and exciting. In the first half, the teams traded baskets with Wilkes counting on the perimeter markmanship of Charlene Hurst , Donna Martin , and Michelle Zowoiski and King's utilizing an effective fast break engineered by guard Teresa Bowler. Even the coachesg0t into the· act. At the 15: 4 5 mark of the half, the scoreboard showed King's ahead .10-8. Lady Colonel Coach Nancy Roberts, however, thought -otherwise, and a verbal scuffle ensued at the scorer's table. After the dust had settled, the score was amended to read 8-8. In the first period King's had the misfortune to have key players get into foul difficulty. By the half's end , Teresa Bowler , the floor leader and leading scorer for King's, had three fouls as did other Lady Monarch players. These difficulties came back to eventually haunt the Lady Monarchs in the second half. As a part of her second half strategy, Roberts instructed her players to draw· the fouls on those King's players in difficulty. . The strategy was executed to perfection as Lady Colonel Karen Bove drew the all important fifth on Bowler at the 9 :27 mark. As Bowler drove the lane for a seemingly easy layup, Bovf! squarely pos.ition eel herself to draw the offensive charge. · Bowler was not the only Lady Colonel victim. At the 5 :46 mark , King's also lost the services of guard Maureen Ryneski to similar disqualification. As had been their tendency all season long, the Lady Colonels displayed a balanced scoring attack . Sophomore guard Charlene Hurst with 24 points headed a group of four players who connected for double figures. Also . hitting for double di_gits ,-.-□ were fres hman guard:D~nna,Maitin with 23, junior: Forward and teai:n co-captain Kirri Smith with ~5, and freshma11 forward Michelle -Zowoiski with 1 I. ·. · . T he two big forces on the . backboards for the Lady Colonels were Smith with eight and freshman cen ter M ich alen e Chernicav age with seven. Agai n st Ph ila del ph ia Te x tile the Lady Colonels plummeted from the highest of highs to the lowest of all possible lows. Pride and victory turned to embarassment and defeat as the Lady Colonels played their worst game of the season . From the opening tip-off it seemed as if the contest would be a nip and tuck affair down to the final buzzer. The match between an established Division II team and an up-and-coming Division III team seemed· to be living up to all expectations. Throughout the opening minutes, the Lady Colonels managed to stay within a five to seven point spread behind the opposition. · Then something went wrong. The Lady Rams began _to exploit and capitalize upon a combination of poor shot selection and weak offensive to defensive transition by the Lady_ Colonels to build a 20 plus lead within a two minute span in the middle of the half. After a time-out called by Coach Roberts to regroup her shell-shocked troops, the Lady Colonels managed to rally and go into the intermission on the short end of a 4932 score. .The second period started off with ••n-•• •-"•" r 11a111r1EL were 38 percent for Wilkes and 44 a Lady Colonel surge, and they percent lor Textile. managed to cut the margin to 13 at For the game, the Lady Colonels one point.

Street Gym have been aroun~ for_ 20 years, b~t t,~e blue pnnts continue to collect dust in John Reese s offICe. Reese said, I have plans for three different extensions in my office; I've had them since 1963." . . There i_s no questio_n that more court space is needed. For example, during the winter _months, three varsity teams use the gym, the men's basket~all and wrestling_ teams an~ the w?men 's ~as½e~ ball team. When you add intramurals, physical ~ucat1on periods and individual workouts, it becomes obvious that the gym 1s not large enough to accomodate the athletic needs of the college. The gym was constructed in 1950 and at that time it was one of the best athletic facilities in the area. It no longer lives up to that reputation . One only has to travel as far as nearby King's College or the University of Scranton_to see that the one-floor Wilkes structure is outdated. Wilkes President., Robert S. Capin recognizes the need tor an extension on the 33-year-old building. ' ' There is no question th~t _extra rooms ~re needed, " Capin said. "It is in our long range plans, but 1t 1s not something we can address immediate'ly.'' Both Capin and Reese s~ated that it would take a major donation to get the P.roject off the ground. Reese said, " People who give big money, just don t give that kind of money for a gym. " He continued, "It's all a matter of money, we just keep getting pushed back .' ' Through the years the expansion plan has been tabled for a variety of reasons: the Agnes flood, the addi tion of Stark Learning Cen"ter and the construction of Founders Hall have all contributed to the delay . Th is may seem like the wrong time to bring up the question as to why the extension hasn ' t been built . We are in the midst of a recession and the College has been forced to cut back in all areas. When will there be a good time to start this project? There hasn ' t ben, reason enough to undertake the task during the past 20 years , and as it stands now there are no immediate plans to start construction. It is always easier to make an excuse rather than work out a solution. It seems to me that, now , as in the past , Wilkes has placed athletics low on its list of priorities. I do not pretend to have a simple solution to this problem but what I . suggest is that the College give more serious consideration to this issue. This, "Well someday we'll get it done" attitude is.starting to wea r th in after two decades . '· As always comments and suggestions concerning Beacon ed itorials are encouraged.

The winner of the National Book Award for Fiction in 1973 for Chimera, a volume of novellas, Barth has published works appearing in both hardcover and paperback, and has made the bestseller lists both in the United States and abroad. In recognition of his outstanding literary contributions, he was selected to the National Institute of Arts and Letters and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1974. Barth's five novels published to date have had a major impact on the nation's literary community. His first novel, The Floating Opera, written when he was 26, was nominated for a National Book Award in 1957; in the same year, Barth completed his explosive End ofthe Road (1958) . The historical farce The SotWeed Factor followed in 1960 and gave Barth a popular audience. Critics lauded the book as "outra- Wilkes President Announces Plans To Resign In 198 geously funny, villianously slanderous." Barth next published a long comic work, Giles Goat Boy (1966), whose hero is sired by a computer and born of a virgin. The book established Barth as a master of the comic novel. His latest work, Sabbatical, is subtitled A Romance and is selling well throughout the nation. Barth also has published a collection of short fictions for print, tape and live voice entitled Lost in the Funhouse (1968), and Letters (1979), an episptolary novel that transforms the 18th century form into a contemporary comic tour de force with seven intertwining plot lines. In all, Barth's fiction is so varied and original as to merit critics' labels of allegory, irrealism , postmodernism, realism, and fa rce. But while critics continue to debate about Barth's literary categorization, the public apparently continues to relish each of his new literary creations. In addition to his vocation as writer, Barth is currently the Alumni Centennial Professor of English and Creative Writing at the Johns Hopkins University. Born in Cambridge, Maryland, in 1930, andeducated in Dorchester County's Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 \ J / public schools, he obtained his A.B . and M.A. degrees from the Johns Hopkins University. From l 963 to 1965 he taught English at Pennsylvania State University and then became a professor of English at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Barth returned to Johns Hopkins in 1973, and currently teaches English and creative writing. Barth's appearance on February l on the Wilkes campus will be one of the highlights of the Wilkes' 50th Robert S. Capin, now serving his eighth year as president of Wilkes College, announced at the end of last semester that he will resign his top administrative post at the College effective May 31, 1984. Capin announced his resignation to members of the Wilkes Board of Trustees at their regularly scheduled meeting in December and then made it public to members of the College 's faculty and administration. In making the announcement, Capin said , "After much consideration and introspection I am advising members of the College Family and the community of my resignation from the presidency of Wilkes Col- • lege effective at the conclusion of the 1983-84 Academic Year.•' "I an1 pro~d of what has been accomplished during my tenure as president and feel that is is now time to make way for a new leader 'lfho has the dynamism, . imagination, determination and resiliancy to lead the College through the challenging years ahead."

Capin's financial and educational leadership, coming at a time when many private colleges atound the country are being forced to close their doors, has helped guide Wilkes to excellent evaluations from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The 56-year-old Capin has also spearheaded two highly successful capital fund drives which have sustained the growing .needs of the college and the community. In addition, the Pennsylvania civic and ·educational leader has captained several successful annual scholarship campaigns and launched numerous physical plant improvements at the 50:year-old institution. Capin has led the College effort to maintain historic preservation on campus by restoring and renovating several landmark buildings and, over the past two years, has directed a major effort enabling the College to complete a $3.5 million residence hall project. He also created and directed efforts which led to the establishment of an in~depth and working Long-Range Plan for Wilkes College. In accepting the resignation of Capin, William L. Conyngham, chairman of the College's 35-member governing board said, "It is with a true sense of loss that we accept this resignation.

System by Buddy Sutliff The inequality of parking spaces for commuter· and resident students was a major topic of discussion at the weekly IRHC m~eting.

One concern of Freedman' s is that the TV studio set up on the third floor of Stark Learning Center will be dism antled and that the program itself will disintegrate. When questioned about the dismantling of the TV studio, Capin stated that it was being considered whether the room itself should remain in the hands of the Communications Department, or be given to the Engineering Department , but if the room was reassigned, a new location would be found for the video equipment .

President Capin and Dean Hartdagen both denied that the arrival of the committee had anything to do with the problems currently surfacing in the department over the proposed removal of Mr. Jerome Campbell and Dr. Bruce Reiprich. •' Every department has periodical outside · evaluations," stated Hartdagcn , " this had been planned tenatively for the fall of 1983, but with the situation at hand, it was decided to move the date up to this semester. ' ' President Capin refused to speak specifically about Campbell and Reiprich ; however, he d id state that 16 W ilkes instructors have been notified , either by nonrenewal of contract or official letter, that they will not be asked to return following May of 83 or May of 84.

The new year has become a notorious time for the unstopping of flasks and bottles of all varieties, and among the favorite of these is that of remembrance, nostalgia, a flagon containing the dreams and despairs of a year gone by. . 1982 was a year of paradoxes for Wilkes College, a year often marked by student apathy fringing an active student body, faculty unrest and curriculum updates, financial difficulties concurrent with building expansion, the celebration of an anniversary and the loss of a president. The year brought fire to ilocum and Sullivan Halls, and a new Founder•~ Hall to life; the "Wild Turkeys" and "Singapore Slings'' teams tied for first place during Winter Weekend, and the Lady Colonels softball team finished as MAC champs. Students' financial aid suffered drastic cuts, RA' s scholarships wer-e frozen, and student scholarships were re~appropriated in the spring semester; in the fall, the ·college began its gala 50th Anniversary Celebration. One remembers that 1982 marked a banner year for the Wilkes College theatre, which presented 110 in the Shade, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Story Theatre, and The Elephant Man. The CPA was also graced with the talents of Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Lewis, clarinetist Richard Stoltzman, speaker Rowland Meyers, and the Right Honourable Norman St. John-Stevas. Sordoni Art Gallery sponsored continuous art exhibitions; Conyngham Annex, home for student exhibits, faced possible demolition. The presidencies of SG, IRHC, and CC once again changed hands, and the student publications welcomed new editorial staffs; Bill Unsworth was selected as football coach. Thre«: wrestlers qualified for the NCAA tournament at Iowa State, but the.Lady Cagers finished a losing season. 1982 also saw the passing of another New Student Orientation Weekend, a ban on hazing, and a vigorous campaign to save Stark Lobby. Greg Marshall and Terry Shemo presided over Homecoming Weekend, and Wilkes College held a 50th Anniversary Cinderella Ball. River Street acquired its nom a l'annee, Wilkes College Boulevard. Beth Latini won a national raquetball title; the Wilkes football team beat FDU Madison to finally break a two-year losing streak. Robert S. Capin announced his proposed resignation as president of Wilkes College. The memories flood back, ebb, and then recede into the murky haze from which they were summoned. 1983 will, no doubt, bring as many triumphs and trials, controversies and contradictions as did 1982, all to be remarked upon-by some future editor, sitting bleary-eyed at a typewriter in the wee morning hours. Actually, I could wish no one a more pleasent early-morning task, for the remembrances, like the heavy, rich perfurme, spice and sweeten all they touc}:i. Here's to 1983. M: by Kim W. Skrinak Time Magazine's Man of the, Year for 1982 was not a man but a machine: the computer. Time's choice for this position for the past 55 years has been either an individual or a group of people. The choice of a computer, rather than a person reinforced the magazine's belief that the most significant force in the year's news is ••not a single individual but a process, and a widespread recognition that this process is changing the course of all other processes.'' The stand the magazine took that puts the process over the person is worthy of much thought. I am bothered by this idea, for I do admire the computer; but due respect should be given to the engineers and business people who participated in the technological revolution. Time seemed to completely disregard the people behind the computer. It stated: " The greatest influence for good or evil, is not a man at all. It is a machine: the computer. '' To those of us who were born in the " technological middle ages'-' of the 1940s and early 1950s the introduction of the computer into our lives was greeted with protest and intrigue. We held some fear that it would threaten <our individuality when, for means of identification, we were asked to give our school" identification number or social secu- rity number rather than our naine . In , what seemed as almost overnight, our slide-rules gave way to the pocket calculator. With the same swiftness the clanging of pinball machines that dominated our arcades was quickly replaced by synthesized electronic sounds that spewed from the sophisticated electronic games. Regardless of our feelings for these changes, we realize that the sudden intrusion of the computer into our life is terminal. It is with us for the rest of our lives, like it or not. · Just about all of us now are struggling to cope with these changes. Some of us are dealing with bloodshot eyes or other new frustrations that come from staring, hours at end, at the viewing screen of our office or home computer. While we are slowly getting used to this new intrusion of our lives the children of today arc adjusting beautifully to our "brave new world" . Kevin Phillips , a syndicated columnist who appears in many daily newspapers across the counrry , has written a column that centers itself around the fate of his six-yearold son who is growing up ' 1 thinking computerese." He finds it •'more than a little unnerving'' to watch his son '' take over the controls in a video game of MissileCommand and sweep his target sight aronnd the sky, wiping out enemymis, des like a veteran ." He feels that the ,hrill behind playing video wars may keep their exciuncnt with his son when he grows up. Kevin Phillips paints a shoulder-shuddering, imagined future where his son as a hypothetical Major Alexander Phillips, U.S. Air Force Academy, Class of 1998 would become appointed to '• command something that bears all too much resemblance to one of the games he's enjoying so much this Christmas. '' One can see why such a thought would be uncomfortable to this father and have him find himself nostalgic for the pre-video game Chrisunasses. His futuristic vision becomes less laughable when he informs us with some sobering facts : public esteem for the military has been rising in the Atari Age and the press has been reporting how the Army and the Air Force arc already adopting and adapting the video games for training purposes. Presently, the beliefs that led Time to choose a computer, rather than a person , are questionable because the people behind the computer are mostly newcomers to its effects . They did exist before its intrusion. Therefore, they have not been totally mentally modified by it. However, the children who now are educated, as well as entertained, by the computer just may become not a single individual in control of themselves, but part of its process.

Over 18,000 in New York City alone, they are homeless , and now that winter has set in they will also seek a place to sleep at one of the city's shelters. Across the nation, young working people and couples just starting a family are not able to begin a savings after paying for the necessitie~ of life; an older generation is discovering that they cannot provide the ' 'best' ' education for their sons and daughters, even after a decade of struggle and humble living. Nearly 200,000 homes in various tgwns in the industrial north are now m foreclosure, the families sleeping in cars or, if lucky, doubling up in friends' or relatives' homes. The government and banks are auctioning family farms away to the highest bidders. Over 10% of our potential work force is idle. This is not a reminiscence of the Great Depression. It is a quick glimpse at America today, and these are not isolated cases. The American economy is contracting at _ an appalling rate , with devastating effects upon th~ working poor and middle-class, and our current political leadership in Washington is failing to deal effectively •with a crisis that threatens the cohesiveness of our entire society. It seems strange that in the midst of this mess , the president of the United States can address the nation twice in six days and tell us in a warm, genial, and reassuring manner that everything is not as bad as it seems, and is in fact getting better and not worse. AsJohn the local bartender often says," ____ spare me! " President Reagan cites two achievements, lower interest rates and a lower rate of inflation, as evidence that the recovery is "just around the corner.' ' However, " real" interest rates, such as those for housing and long-term loans for business development and expansion are still prohibitively high, and are preventing any growth . It is true that inflation has fallen , but that is never difficult to achieve when one is willing to allow 11. 5 million unemployed. The central problem is that the policies of the Reagan team are shorrsighted and anachronistic when viewed in the context of an American economy that .today is in TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE WILKES COLLEGE FA MILY AND FRIENDS : BROADWAY THEATRE WEEKEND - MARCH 18-20, 1983 .

This change is not a 'natural' and inevitable consequence of some nebulous market forces, as Reaganomics would have it, but is instead the result of the conscious and deliberate actions of members of our business, financial and political communities (or community, as is often the case). Without concern for the human consequences, corporations and investors are stripping whole sectors of our industrial heartland and are shifting capital to new ventures in other regions of the country (steel buying into oil, for example) or to foreign lands (United Technologies Corp. swallowing Otis Elevator in Yonkers and spitting it out again all over Southern Asia) where wage labor, tax laws, operational costs and additional elements contribute to irresistably high profit margins. In other cases large corporations or smaller businesses w.ill not expand in many communities for fear that their investment will not pay off. And being beaten at our own game by foreign competitors in major industries, such as auto and steel , has greatly contributed to the problem ( chis too is the result of conscious and deliberate actions; in this case , the decision not to upgrade those industries). Evidence of this deadly combination of capital flight and capital fright , along with the consequences of foreign competition, is everywhere. In 1982, the U.S . economy contracted by 1.8%. the worst slump in 36 years, and inflation jumped 6 % . But these statistics are virtually meaningless unless we look at places like Warren, Ohio or Lackawanna, New York. Until recently, steel production provided asolid, vibrant way of life for generations. Then mills and ironworks were closed and unemployment has now reached nearly 30% in surrounding counties. These events in turn have severe repercussions on the entire community as revenues for schools and local governments are sharply reduced and the level of despair and frustration rises . Many analysts, however, view this situation as regrettable but not critical. According to the most optimistic approach , as the old industries die off, new economic sectors will be born to replace them , and all we need to do is retrain all the unfortunate unemployed and fit them into the new scheme. But that process will take a long time, and nobody is even pretending that these new industries, like technology and " service," will ever provide the number of jobs needed to achieve sustained and full employment. So it seems that the larger question posed by this latest 'downturn' in our economic cycle is, what can we begin io do to protect people, communities, our society's health, and our economic system itself form the vicissitudes of capitalism? That question has probably not been whispered in the White House since FDR let a few Reds in the back door in •one of his politically deft maneuvers. At any rate, it clearly has not recently been posed to Ronald Reagan.

Urbanski andJamesJ. Haggerty,JL Undoubtedly the year 1983 has many surprises in store for all of us . As for the nature of these events, one can only guess , and many do .

' by Donna Nitka Man yfemale graduate and under• graduate studeqts may not enjoy full equaliry of educational opportunity on campus, according to a report re• cently issued by the Project on the Status and Education of Women of the Association of American Col• leges. The report, The Classroom Climate: A Chilly One For Women? was written to help both faculty and students become more aware of the subtle - and not so subtle - ways in which male and female students are often treated differently , and to indicate specific actions they can take to create a learning c,imate that best fosters the intellectual growth of all students. According to Dr. Ben'l'ice R. Sandler, director of the.Project who supervised the development of the report , "men and women may sit together in the same classrooms but have very different educational ex• periences because faculty - both men and women - often treat male and female students differently. It doesn' t happen all the time, or in every classroom, but when it does, women 's self confidence and arnbi• . tions may plummet. '' · Frequently, neither the faculty nor the students are aware that any different treatment has occurred. Nevertheless , the report finds that women students are discouraged in the following ways: - Faculty may not be as likely to call directly on women as on men during class discussion . - Teachers may often ask ques• tions followed by eye contact with men students only, as if only men were expected to respond. - Faculty may interrupt women more frequently than men , or allow them to be disproportionately inter• rupted by others in class . - Teachers often address their classes as if no women were present (Suppose your wife . .. ?) or use classroom examples in which the professional is always "he," the client or patient always "she." - Some teachers still use sexist humor to "spice up a dull subject" or make disparaging comments about women as a group . · - Faculty may not give women informal feedback on their work . - Teachers may overlook women when it comes to choosing research or teaching assistants or give them less responsibility than men in those positions. They may not be as likely to nominate women for awards and prizes, let them know about job op• portunities, or offer to write leqers of recommendation for them . The report, which was funded by a l 5•month grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education and aided by an advisory committee of experts in student and faculty development, combines the results of recent institutional sur• veys , empirical studies of postsecon• dary and other classrooms, and general research in men's and woinen's communication. It identi• fies overt and inadvertent faculty behaviors that can lead female Stu• dents to feel they " don' t belong" and are "not taken seriously" in the college classroom. It concludes that such behaviors can play a major role . in limiting women sutdents' devel• opment. In fact, the report's find• ings show that some women have dropped courses or changed majors because of such behaviors, while others have hesitated to participate in class and to seek informal help or letters of recommendation from professors whose classroom behavior communicated negative views of women. "Looking beyond the im• mediate classroom setting, '' Sandler added, " women's career .+ choices are often narrowed and men 's and women's ability to work together as equals - both in school and in the workplace - may be un• dermined by an inhospitable college learning climate .' ' "Most faculty want to treat all students fairly and as individuals with · particular talents and abiJi. ties," says Roberta M. Hall, author of the report and Assistant Director for Special Programs at the Project on the Status and Education ofWo• men. '' However, many professorsmen and women alike - may never• theless inadvertently treat men and women differently in the classroom and in related learning situations.'' Hall emphasized that teacher• student interaction in grade school and high school, as well as different patterns typical of men's and women's communication in every• day situations, may make these sub• de differences in treatment in the college classroom (such as not ex• pecting women to participate in class and thus not calling on them) seem 'so ''normal '' that neither tea• chers nor students notice them when they occur. " Taken cumulatively, though, faculty behaviors which either overlook or single out women students because of their sex may leave many women feeling they are not on par with men. Women may become less confident than their male classmates about their aca• demic ability, their place in the col• lege community, and their potential for career success,'' Hall said. The report included a number of recommendations for faculty and students to foster awareness, guide on•campus evaluation and promote change. Recommendations for faculty included: - making a specific effort to call directly on women as well as on men students.

The exhibit is comprised of 64 prints, engravings and lithographs, of various Pennsylvania cities and t0wns ,from the mid- l&th century un~I the late 19th century. The works offer an interesting visual history of the development of towns throughout the state. The prints on exhibit are part of the collection of John C. O 'Connor and Ralph Yeager. Judith O 'Toole, directorof the gallery , noted that although O'Connor and ¥eager have an extensive collection that includes prints from all over the Unit~d States, only those from Pennsylvania were chosen for the exhibit. Among the works on exhibit are a print depicting Bethlehem in 175 7, · and one that captures the Johnstown . flood of the late 1880'.~- Perhaps one of the most interesting prints is the one entitled "State 1: Bird 's Eye View of Philadelphia 1850. '' This print is an attempt to simulate the view of the town from the air. Prints of Bucknell, Penn State and Lafayette College are also on exhibit . The exhibit is open through February 6. Gallery hours are Sundays through Fridays, 1-5 p .m .,Saturday, 10 a.m. until 5 p.m . and fro_m 6-9 p.m. on Thursday evenings. Psych Honor Society Seeking Members by Donna Nitka Psychology majors who meet specific academic qualifications are eligible for membership in Psi Chi, the National Honor Society for psychology students. The purpose of Psi Chi is to generate student interest in the field of psychology and in psychological research. In keeping with this, the Wilkes chapter of Psi Chi (which should not be confused with the psych club) did a statistical study of Wilkes graduates to obtain student assessment of the psychology department and information on employment and graduate school opportunities. The members of Psi Chi are also making plans to attend both the Eastern College Science .Conference_and the Eastern Psychological Association convention this spring. There are several advantages associated with membership in Psi Chi. Among these arc research opportunities, recommendations provided by the national organization, opportunities to enter research papers in the national organization 's undergraduate and graduate research competitions, and opportunities to meet leading psychologists and to learn more about the professional choices available topsychologists. Membership requirements for Psi Chi include a 3.5 psych cum, a 3.0 overall cum, and a minimum number of credits in psychology. Membership is open to both psych majors and minors . Students interested in learning more about Psi Chi, or in obtaining an application, should contact Dr. Robert Bohlander. f H-.€. LONG'S RE:\IIEW by Henry E. Long I.am not as inspired to write this article as perhaps Yves Klein was to create art. There are no flamethrowers here, no audience or orchestra, and no beautiful nude women smeared in deep blue paint . There are only my reflections on the direct results of Klein's inspirations; the work which is currently on exhibit at the Guggenheim Museum, New York. Although sudden death ended his high-profiled life at the .age of thirty-four, Klein's aesthetic premonition ushered various avant-garde movements thrqughout Europe, and later America in the early sixties and seventies. A forerunner of Minimalism , Klein was also one of the artistic pioneers of Environmental Art, Performance Art, Conceptual Art, and Body Art. The pieces in the show, consisting of 100 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, represent many phases of Klein's development, but they also represent only a small part of the total Art experience; an experience , with Klein, of artistic challenge, artistic humor, and artistic outrageousness. His unconventional dada techniques of creating art include the use of Fireman-assisted flame. throwers, which he manipulated in such a way to actually burn images and brown hues onto a canvas; imploying nude females as living brushes to leave body-thumbprints in blue on canvas and on paper; and covering nearly every object with the same Buzzing, electric Klein-Blue . His sculptural pieces can also be seen as paintings . Like crrie electron photographs of the surface structures covering the human tongue, Klein's Sculptured-Paintings consist of blue sponges, blue pebbles , blue gravel and dry blue pigment in synthetic resin on plaster and canvas. The viewer is forced to participate in the artist's universe of infinite space, which is absolute and general, and in the artist's impish transcendence . One of the more popular pieces in the show is a large photograph documenting the artist leaping off a 10-foot wall. "~ap Into the Void" displays Klein as both the sham and the shaman; the dada artist and the showman. The photograph is ~thcrsomc in that the viewer realizes that immediately following the snap of the shutter, Klein smashed face-down onto the sidewalk below . Klein called this act a mystical attempt, touchi!)g on the fringes of Zen and Rosicru- . .• !····~····························································•··········~···········: ..

This act can stand for all of Klein's accomplishments; whether favorable or not. Any serious contemplation of his art involves asumptions about what. important art today requires of its creator, andI • of its audience. If nothing else , the show conveys one thing about the Frenchman Klein as an artist, as a social commentator, and as a historic anticipator: He Leapt into a void where very few have even stepped . AT THE SORDONI And then there is the show currently running at the Wilkes College Sordoni Art Gallery. I am not . inspired whatsoever to write this article . The show consists of sixty-three prints recording the early history of this great state of ours , and as for artistic criticism, I find it very difficult to comment on. The best I can do is this : ''Pennsylvania Prints: A Tercentenary Celebration from the Collection ofJohn C. O 'Connor and Ralph M. Yeager." Perhaps one is more accustomed to reading the above Roy E. Morganish so-called criticism, that is, not a criticism as much as a mere statement of existence. But that is what this show is all about : a statement of Pennsylvania's existence portrayed through lithographs . So it may be locally popular, which obviously was the prime motivation behind organizing the show, (which, incidcntly, was funded by a grant given in honor of Times-Leader Art Critic Roy E. Morgan), but docs such work belong in an ART GALLERY? Wilkes-Barre has a wonderful Historical Society dedicated and formulated for the preservation of such HISTORY, and I seriously doubt that they would have a show of contemporary German Expressionists. (Then again, I seriously doubt if the Sordoni would have such an exhibit as well.) Those interested ifl Pennsylvania's history may find the show interesting. Those interested in early lithography may even find it as such . But those who arc interested in observing Art in a College Art Gall~ry arc advised to look elsewhere . · ~ !>lG,Mf ~ r«E.\ ~ "'l"f.

Wuori Clles 11~ Increaa.e Between September 1981 and 'January 1982, the Wilkes College Admissions Office received 688 applications for the 1982 freshman class. Dr. Gerald Wuori , dean of admissions at the College, reports that for the similar four-month period, September 1982 to January 7, 1983 , the College has received 765 applications - an increase of more than 11 percent. Inquiries at the College have increased by 32 percent , from 5,161 to more than 6,800. ' 'We are finding that students, and their parents, are not as confused :.bout the availability of financial aid and ot~er loan programs," said Wuori , now in his fifth year as admissions dean . ''Last year we were unable to give students exact facts and figures regarding the fluctuating packages available in the area of financial aid . The whole aid program, nation-wide, was in a confused state and that served to scare many students away.'' "Now that the air has cleared somewhat and more money than originally anticipated is being made available to college-bound students, we can help qualified students obtain the necessary loans and/or financial aid which makes attending college possible ." As an example, Governor Dick Thornburgh recently authorized the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) to raise up to $300 million by floating bond issues, using the proceeds to finance student loans. While the relative brightening of the financial aid/loan picture has helped fuel the increase in the number of applications received this year at Wilkes, Wuori pointed out that other factors have also helped spawn the rise . "We have increased our recruiting efforts this year by expanding the areas/ regions that we visit, " he said. ''While we continue to recruit heavily from Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey, we are making inroads into from around the country who art: interested in specific areas of study. As a r esult of the targeted searches , Wilkes has realized application increases in the areas of art, engineering, music and computer science. ' 'While it is important for us to visit students and answer their questions about Wilkes, it is equally important that prospective students visit our campus and talk with current students, faculty, and staff people," stated Wuori . "Over the past several years 81 percent of our applicants who visited the Wilkes-Barre campus matriculated as students in the fall." This year, Wuori reports that high school students visiting the Wilkes campus are running in excess of 10 percent over last year's , figure . When questioned as to whether he thought the upward trend would continue, Wuori responded that it is "difficult to say ." He stated that Wilkes' academic program and some of the new programs had attracted applicants, but he was unsure which programs, if any, would be dropped in the future. "At the very least, I feel enrollment will stablize ," said Wuori . He also noted that, in the future , much will depend on financial aid availabilit•! and the political climate of the state and national government . Washington, Delaware and Maryland, as well as other neighboring states.'' Additional factors which aid the increased admissions effort in~lude a successful Alumni Recruitment Program where alumni from across the country visit and talk with prospective applicants/ sutdents; a new method of target marketing which enables Wilkes admissions representatives to visit schools having the highest degree of productivity; and the redesigned staff scheduling · which allows admissions representatives to spend an additional day each week on the road visiting high school students . Wuori has also been able to make exr-·nsive use ofThe College Board 's Student Search Service which allows the College to pinpoint .students -, anuzzi's Ptiza and Each semester more than 250 stu- • dents from colleges and universities across the country come to Washington , D .C. to work as interns under the auspices of the Washington Center. ·They gain experience and academic credit for working full time in congressional, executive or judicial offices; public interest organizations; national associations; or private businesses. The Internship Program, open to juniors and seniors in all academic majors, includes: placement, orientation, counseling, supervision, and evaluation of intern progress; academic seminars and group discussions with other interns; guest lectures; social and cultural events with other interns; and centrally-located housing. The Washington Center is not a credit-granting institution. It does, however, function as an adjunct to the university/college campus. Students participating in the internship program receive academic credit from their home institutions that is equivalent to the credits received for an average term on campus. Documentation and evaluation of student performance in the internship are provided by the Washington Center and the agency sponsor. Internship placement sites have included such diverse settings as the U.S. Congress, the D.C. Superior Court, the U.S. State Department, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the U.S. Department of Commerce, NBC News, the AFL/ CIO, the Smithsonian, the National Institutes of Health , Common Cause, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The Ceoter requires all studen:s to enroll in one of their semin:o.rs, which are taught by qualified Washington professionals (attorneys, Congressional staff, policy analysts, etc.) and cover a distinct area of an academic discipline. Seminar offerings include: ' 'Trial by Jury," "Art Comes to the Nation's Captial, " "U.S. Foreign Policy in the Third World, " "PetroDollars," and "An Inside Look at the Washington Press Corps.'

The concern of the representatives was that if the school terminates the position ,he student's social life would suffer. One representative expressed some of the dubious affects this action may have if taken. She said that it is likely that the wide screen 1V would become less accessable to students. She said that there is a possibility of students losing the use of the Cavern, which currently provides students with a place to relax and play video-games. ~ One representative commented that since Jay Tucker, the cutrent student director, has been here the sub parties have been more organized. Another representative said that she thought that a school with a well developed activities schedule would be more desireable to incoming students than a school that offers little or poorly organized social events. One solution offered was to raise the school's activity fee by $50. The representative pointed out that it is not uncommon for colleges to charge $50 a semester for an activity fee. Wilkes currently charges $50 a year as an activity fee. The position of Student Director will be absorbed by Student Affairs. Representatives at the meeting generally agreed that the position of Student Director should be continued. Today CC will spon~r a coffeehouse in the Student Center from 11 to 1. Entertainment will be provided by Marty Bear. Admission is free. This week CC President Mary Ellen Judge announced the reestablishment of the Apartment Committee. The committee will be headed by Brian Potoeski . More information may be obtained at the CC office.

Bill Lourie, Winter Weekend chairperson, reported that the · Winter Weekend Committee is thinking about using the Student Center pool of DJs and stereo equipment for the annual Winter Weekend gym party instead of hiring a band .

Unfortunately, only two of his starters have the luxury of prior colliegate seasons. The Colonels are putting a senior, a junior and three freshmen on the court and their inexperience is showing. Wilkes is on a four game slide losing seven of their last eight contests. Since Christmas break Wilkes has dropped consecutive games to Moravian, Albright, Scranton and Elizabethtown. Against Moravian and Albright the Colonels stayed with their opponents until the final minutes, but came up short. In both contests, Wilkes was unable to drop baskets at critical times. " We took these teams down to the wire , but I think we' re just getting impatient, " Atherton said. ''What we have to do is start taking good shots.'' On Saturday, the Unversity of Scranton Royals, ranked 12th in the nation among Division III teams, brought their perfect 4-0 MAC record to Wilkes . It was obvious from the start that the young Colonels would prove to be no match for the seasoned Royals. Scranton held a 20 point lead throughout most of the game. When the final buzzer sounded the Colonels found themselves on the losing end of a 76-61 effort . Elizabethtown pushed the Colonels deeper into their mid-season slump on Monday when they defeated Wilkes 67-49. At half time the contest was knotted at 27 apiece. Early in the second period the score was tied at 29, but this would be the last time the Colonels would share the lead . The Blue Jays used a stingy defe nse to hold all Wilkes players in the single digit column. The loss dropped the Colonels record to 2-6 in the MAC and 3- 8 overall. Atherton said, "We get an error and it just spreads like cancer. '' He continued, "I will have faith that we're going to do something as the year goes along. It just seems like everyone is trying a little too hard.'' The Colonels will attempt to turn things around on Saturday at Delaware Valley. •allcer Returns To Wilkes by Chris Baron Former Colonel basketball great Kevin "].]." Walker is back at Wilkes after a short stint as a pro. For the past few months Walker has been playing in the English Basketball League. Walker played for the Llverpool Wakewoods and was averaging 18 points per game. When he left, the Wakewoods were in seventh place among 13 teams . He has returned to Wilkes to finish his undergraduate education. Kevin "JJ." Walker ''The reason I came back was so I could graduate," Walker said. ''The season is not really over till the end of February, but if I stayed I wouldn't be able to come back in the middle of the semester.' ' Walker needs 18 credits to get his marketing degree . He got his chance at the pros last June when he went to a tryout at St. Peter's College. Each year the camp attracts hundreds of college players hoping for a shot at the pros. Walker explained, "There were scouts all over the place, pro scouts from the States, and scouts from Europe.'' He must have impressed someone because a few days later he got a call from the owner of the Wakewoods. In a matter of days he was on an airplane to England. The English style of play is quite different from what he was accustomed to. ''The competition is a lot better than Division III Wilkes," Walker said. ''There is also a lot of running. After you score you don't have to touch the ball out, you just run right back down the court.'' In the English league each team is allowed two American players. The American players are expected to perform better than their English teammates. '' At Wilkes there was pressure just to win a game, whereas over there a lot of pressure is put on the American players because we are supposed to be the best in the world at basketball,'' Walker said. If a team loses, the Americans inevitably take the brunt of the criticism. ' 'For instance, one game I only scored 12 points and we lost. The papers wrote up about how bad I played and the Coach got on me and started sayjng he was going to send me, back, " Walker said. , 1, , Wilkes College Hoc key S chedule Colonels On Ice 1:he Wilkes College Club Hockey team has a 4-5 record half way through • theu 18-game schedule.

The Colonels have a veteran team and at the beginning of this season they looked like~Jike the best squad Coach John Reese ever_put on the mats. "I think because we have so many seniors on the team, sometimes we don't get up for the teams we should beat,'' Reese said. After their first Wilkes Open win, the Colonels went on the road to Tennessee. The Volunteers, ranked 20th in the nation, handed Wilkes their fourth loss of the season. Wilkes then traveled to the Virginia Duals where they were seeded second in the tournament. The Colonels posted wins over George Mason and Clemson, but were forced to settle for fourth place when they lost to North Carolina and Morgan State. The weaty Colonels returned to Wilkes with a dismal 4-6 dual record. The Colonels got a breather last Wednesday when they downed the 0-6 Bucknell University Bisons, 3014. On Saturday, Wilkes posted a hard fought 21-20 win over the Temple Owls. The key match was in the 177 pound weight class. Wilkes Junior Mark Carrell pinned na.tionall ranked Rich Lavato with- only 12 seconds remaining in the match . The win evened the Colonels record at 6-6. The Colonels continued their winning ways on Sunday when .they downed Virginia Tech 29-10. Trailing 10-3 after four matches, Wilkes came roaring back. Mark Popple registered a major decision over Dominiclc Parcelli. Freshman Tom Jamiclcy put the Colonels on top for good when he pinned Tech's Rob Farr after being behind 5-0.

HOCKEY-Jan. 31 Home vs. Nordmen 7:15 p .m . by Ellen Van Riper Last Sunday the Miami Dolphins spoiled what would have been a rather interesting Super Bowl matchup pitting Washington Redskin fullback John Riggins against his old teammates, the New York Jets. For this reason and more I predict a third Super Bowl championship trophy for the Miami Dolphins. In recent years certain rule changes favoring the offense and the emergence of old AFL style passing attacks have changed the complexion of professional football. The era of complex offenses and high scoring games is upon us , and we have such famous passing combinations as Fouts to Winslow, Montana to Clark , and An·d erson to Collinsworth . And what has happened to the traditional brand of football , the football of the old Packer and Giant teams? You know, grind it out ground games and bone crunching defense. Well , this brand of " old time" football has carried both the Re,dskins and the Dolphins to Pasadena and Super Bowl XVII . The similarities between the Dolphins and the Redskins are more than mere coincidences; they are uncanny. The two teams are virtual carbon copies of each other. For instance, both teams are ranked near the top of the NFL in both total defense and rushing offense . The Dolphins were number one in the former category . However, the comparisons do not end here . There are many more similarities be~ een both the teams particularly between specific key . personnel. Both rely upon a big and strong full back to grind out most of their rushing yardage ; the Dolphins employ Andra Franklin, and the Redskins use John Riggins . A comparison of the quarterbacks is also interesting. One can ca11 Miami's David Woodley a young (younger ?) Joe Theismann . Both are capable of outstanding passing performances, and both are mobile scramblers·. Even if they are having an off day passing, both still do <1nough to win (Woodley only completed 9 of 21 passes in the Dolphins' 14-0 victory over the New York Jets). Woodley is a better scrambler and runner, but Theismann has the experience edge. All in all, they rate pretty evenly. As a side note , it is ironic that David Woodley and his backup, Don Strock, are in-a situation similar to that of Theismann and Billy Kilmer a few years back. Now to the game . It will be a low scoring defensive struggle. Twentyone or even fourteen points could win it. The keys will be defe nse, turnovers, and breaks . The team which avoids the second and gets a few of the third will win. That team will be Miami because of its defense and its coach, Don Shula. The "Killer B's" are big, strong , and fas t . They obviously are superb against the pass, for they shutdown both the Chargers and the Jets. However, they can also stop the run as evidenu:d by their performance against the number one rushing team in the NFL, the •New England Patriots. They should also receive credit for stopping the NFL' s leading rusher, Freeman McNeil , even though the game was played on a muddy field . The Dolphins' defense should more than adequately handle the· Redskins passing game, and they will pressure Joe Theismann all day. (Let's face it , few people rate the Redskin offensive line as highly as that of the Jets or the Chargers; and we all know what the Dolphins did to Richard Todd). . The key for the Dolph in defense will be stopping John Riggins who has had a field day so far in the playoffs . Rain or shine he is capable of providing an outstanding peformance. Tfie Dolphins should be able to stop him ; but if not, the Redskins . could very well win. Joe Gibbs has done a tremendous job with the Redskins , but nobody docs it better than Don Shula who has also done wonders with the Dolphins. He has been there before , and he knows how to win. It is a guaranteed certainty that his team will be excellently prepared fo r Sunday's game, and he will have a trick or two up his sleeve. The edge here definitely goes to the Dolphins. The oddsmakers have picked the Dolphins as three point favorities , and I can confidently say that this is a safe bet . Tune in on Sunday and watch the Dolphins swim circles around and capsize the Redskins ' war canoes . �Vol. XXXV No.13 January 28, 1983 Lady Colonels Shoot To 7-3 by Ellen Van Riper The Lady Colonel basketball team has gotten off to one of its best starts ever. Since dropping two early games at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Tournament, the ladies have compiled a 7-1 record, including a seven-game winning streak. The overall record is now 7-3. Nancy Roberts' team had a busy semester break . The ladies shortened their vacation an~ captured first place honors as the host team of the ,annual Letterwomen's Tournament held January 7 and 8. They defeated Drew University of Madison, NJ, 87-67, and Moravian College from Bethlehem, 87-65, enroute to the title. In the contest against Drew the big offensive guns for the Lady Colonels were guards Donna Martin and Charlene Hurst. Martin, a freshman from Nanticoke Area, tossed in 32 points to lead the way. Hurst, a sophomore from Bishop Hoban, added 24. The Lady Colonels displayed a diversified offensive attack in the .title game against Moravian with four players hitting for dou hie figures . Once again it was Martin who spearheaded the attack. She followed-up her previous evening's performance with 24 points. Right behind her in the scoring column was Hurst who netted 22 . Also hitting for double digits were junior co-captain Kim Smith from • Wyoming Valley West with 18 and freshman Michelle Zowoiski from Mt. Pocono with 15 . Off the glass it was Smith with 12 rebounds and freshman Michalene Chernicavage, a teammate of Martin'-s at Nanticoke, with 9 caroms.

His Colonels captured their first Wilkes Open title in the 50-year history of the holiday classic. "It felt great to win it, especially this year, the 50th Anniversary,'' Reese said. Sports Illustrated magazine has called the tournament, the "Rose Bowl" of collegiate wrestling. Wilkes has had eight individual title holders through the years. The Colonels finished second six times, but had never captured the crown. The Colonels went into the finals of the two-day tourney with a slim 6 ¼ point lead over Clarion State. Mark Popple, Lenny Nelson , Kris and Kurt Rowlette had all made it to the championship round. A victory by just one of them would give Wilkes the first place honors . Kris Rowlette fell to Lehigh's Rich Santoro in the 126 pound final 9-2 . At 134, Kurt Rowlette lost a heartbreaker to Clarion's Mark Ciccarello in overtime. The Colonels were now trailing by a quarter point and hopes for their first Open title seemed to be slipping away. Lenny Nelson entered . Nelson , ranked eighth in the nation a year ago, was forced to sit out the first semester for academic reasons. Would the long layoff tarnish his performance? The Richland, N.]. native answered that question when he defeted Army's Steve nel, Michelle Zowoiski. A week later on January 15 fhe Lady Colonels hosted the Lady Monarchs of King's College who were without injured All-American Mary Beth Bowler. Despite sloppy play and poor shooting, the Lady Colonels were able to hang on for a 72-71 victory. In a game in which the shots just were not falling the Lady Colonels still managed to place four players in double figures. Kim Smith led the way with 22, and close on her heels was Charlene Hurst with 20. Michelle Zowoiski and Donna Martin added 14 and 11 respectively. Smith and Zowoiski also did their fair share on the backboards. Smith snared 14 rebounds, and Zowoiski hauled in nine. Even though the Lady Colonels were victorious, the win was a rather costly one. Junior co-captain Karen Bove , a graduate of Berwick, went down with a severe ankle injury in the early going of the game . The next opponent was Albright .

This time the Lady Colonels only had' six players score, but three hit double digits. Donna Martin continued her scoring streak with a 35 point effort to lead the way. She was followed by Kim Smith with 27 and Charlene Hurst with 18. Smith also led in the rebounding department with 14. Two days later on January 22, the Lady Colonels continued their homestand with a contest against the Lady Vikings of Upsala College in East Orange, NJ . The game was tough and physical, but the Lady Colonels were able to adjust and end up on top 87-74.

Going out planning to have a·good ·time, only to almost have your evening ruined because of something you really can't change . .. that's a real drag. Last Friday night, at what turned out to be the best Homecoming Dance I've attended (all thanks to the incredible efforts of one Beth Cortez), my managing editor and I were treated to not only strenuous interrogation • about the authors of "Every Breath You Take," The Beacon gossip column, but also to a weak attempt-at a hurtful prank of high school proportions. · A friend (I think) handed me the above printed letter complete with the decorative envelope we decided to include so everyone could enjoy it. My friend alleges (" alleges," how newspaper-like) that the note was slipped under his door. That marvelous work of poor grammar and spelling (I didn't realize " Abbey" was spelled like "Westminster Abbey " ) plus more than a few antagonistic remarks om more than a few people dampened my fun for a few minutes. However, as I sat out the band's wonderful (I'm being sarcastic) Doobie Brothers medley, I had a chance to reflect on "Gossipgate" as a whole. I came to the conclusion that I'm angry, disgusted, and pleased with the campus response to the gossip column : 1 . I'm angry that anyone would try to tell me how to do my job. More than one person pompously informed me that it's " my job" to . edit the gossip column, thus supressing " questionable" material. It takes a lot of nerve for someone who has never worked at a newspaper to tell anyone who does, what to do. -Since I don't write the gossip column and rarely recognize more than half the people mentioned, it's kind of hard to decide what's " questionable.': · -If I edit something for one person, what's to keep more people from begging to be " edited?" 2. I'm angry that some people on this campus are still jnto cheap, childish stunts like that note from the " Maligned Few." Is this just the beginning of tawdry, cowardly attempts at revenge?

I'm disgusted that The Beacon staff works hard each week to put out what we hope is an informative, interesting, sometimes controversial paper, and all we get letters about is the gossip column . 4. I'm pleased that we are getting some letters about something. Any response, positive or negative, is better than total silence. Next time someone decides to write in about Ann and Abby, why not give me a cheap thrill and make a comment about the front page or something. 5. I'm disgusted with the powers of deduction of Wilkes students. Everyone is taking the easy way out and automatically assuming that because the gossip column is signed Ann and Abby, two women write it and therefore, it is Donna Nitka and myself. Did it ever enter anyone's mind that maybe Ann and Abby is a cover for one person or six people or the deans of Student Affairs? 6. I'm pleased with some of the guesses people have made about who really writes 'the gossip column. If nothing else; it gives me an occasional laugh . 7. I'm overjoyed that people are complaining about " Every Breath You Take," because no matter what they say, it proves what I've been telling my staff all along: love it or hate it, everyone reads it. Overall, I'd have to say that the gossip column has generated more interest and controversy on this campus than things like the fact that the U-S . appears to beaded toward full military action in half the third world countries on this planet, or the ever-present threat of having no viable Democratic opponent to Ronald Reagan in 1984. The Beacon will continue tp print " Every Breath You Take " unedited , and in all its mud-slinging glory. So, while you 're sitting around giggling, being offended, or being mortified by its contents, why not try and slog through a few news articles. You might accidently read something worth knowing .

Haggerty, Jr. Did you ever stop to wonder what the world will be like in ten years? Well, when we were searching for a topic for this week's column, we did. In particular, what 's in store for , say, the pencil industry? We searched for some first hand information in this field, and here ' s what we came up with. We seemed to have stumbled upon · a prophet. His name is Monte Throdahl , and he is senior vicepresident for Monsanto. Believe it or not he has spoken about the future of the pencil industry, and we have dedicated our column to his findings. This is the story of the U.S. pencil industry. Remember, we are looking back from our vantage point of 1993. It 's strange to think that, back in 1983, just anyone could use a pencil any way they wanted to. You see , it all started when the Occupational Safety and Health Act carcinogen policy went into effect. The graphite in the pencil leads - always contained a residue of crystalline silica and there was at least one animal test and an in-vitro test indicating that crystalline silica produced tumors. Thus, the material became regulated as a ,earcinogen. There was no alternative for pencils, so exposure had to come down to almost zero. Workers were put in one had realized.

Monsell Brother and sister dorm selection was a topic of major concern to the Inter-Residence Hall Council . President Al Melusen expressed his desire to see each residence hall pick a brother or sister dorm. Melusen sees this as a chance to promote cohesiveness among the residence halls. Advisor Paul Adams sees it as an opportunity for the representatives of each residence hall to take a leadership role among their dormmates. The advantage of having a brother or sister dorm, according to Melusen, is not only meeting a lot of new people, but also having another dorm with which to co-sponsor a Student Center party. Residence halls that sponsor a party .at the S.C. receive $50 for doing so from IRHC. Ralph Pringle, representative of Student Government, also added that if .dorms needed more money for their parties, they can go to SG and request funds or take out a loan. .

Fri. 7 a.m. : 4 p.m. Adams also expressed his views on the support of the students for the sports teams, especially the football team. He said he hopes the students will support the teams well this Homecoming weekend. ''People criticize the football team without knowing how much dedication and hard work these guys put in. They should be commended rather than ridiculed,'' said Adams. Melusen also brought up the idea that IRHC should find a logo and create a slogan that will allow the students to identify the council at functions such as the Block Party last week. Dave Kalinowski, president of Commuter Council, thought the Block Party was a success and commended IRHC for the work they did. He apologized on behalf of Commuter Council since there weren't any Commuter Council members there to help out. Melusen and Pringle said that they enjoyed the event . and would like to possibly have another Block ·Party in the spring when the weather is warmer. Melusen also announced the appointments of new Recording Secretary, Diane Haberkern, new Corresponding Secretary, Diane Charsha, and new Publicity Chairperson, Steve Jeffries. Melusen expressed his anger about the Upsala football team having to eat in our cafeteria around the same · time that everyone else was trying to eat. Melusen said he didn't enjoy standing in line for an hour waiting to eat dinner. He had no objections to feeding the players, but he said he wished they would have opened the cafeteria earlier or scheduled a special time for the visiting players to eat. Lastly, Melusen wanted to thank the people who usually park in the Evans parking lot for parking somewhere else during the Block Party. He feels that the party wouldn 't have been a success without their cooperation. The residence halls in attendance at last Sunday's meeting . were: Chesapeake, Colonel's, Delaware, Denison, ' Doane, Evan's 2/Male , Evan's 3/Female, Evan's 4/Female, Evan's 4/Male, Hollenback, Miner 5.

M. "The Good Doctor," the second production of the Wilkes College Theatre's 1983-84 season, is based upon various stories of Anton Chekhov. The play will be directed by Dr. Michael O'Neill. According to O'Neill, "The Good Doctor" is made up of nine short plays, some funny and some touching, which are introduced to the audience by a character called _" The 1 been like," said O'Neill. Just as important to "The Good Doctor," according to O'Neill, will be the ten or so actors and actresses who will be called upon to play a variety of comic characters. '' We will need a flexible cast," stated O'Neill, "and a cast which can make comedy work. After all, this is Neil Simon more than it is Chekhov.'' O'Neill also said that since there is music in "The Good Doctor," some singers will be needed. Actual production dates for The Good Doctor are November 18, 19, and 20.

The public speaking squad traveled to southern Pennsylvania to participate in the Shippensburg State University Novice Invitational Tournament. Twenty-three schools, with more than 150 contestants, gathered for this first competition of the year. Wilkes sent only three new speakers. However, these three continued the proud Wilkes tradition of winning. The Shippenburg State tournament marked the 8th season in a row that Wilkes has been victorious in its first tournament of the year. It is also significant that this was the 20th consecutive tournament at which Wilkes has won awards . Freshman Dan Duttinger was a 4th place finalist in Impromptu Discourse Competition and the 2nd place winner in the very difficult area of Persuasive O{atory. Dan finished the preliminary Persuasion rounds in first place . He finished ahead of 4 3 other contestants. In the finals he lost only to George Mason University, the top forensic school in the nation! Other members of the squad of. "Kinri<"y's Kicis" included Jennifer Soltis and A:ndrienne Dwyer. Their participation combined - with Duttinger' s, enabled Wilkes to take the overall 4th place honor. To Dr. K_inney, Director of Forensics, this was a very gratifying tournament. According to Prof. Kinney: " . . . co see Wilkes with it's small freshman.squad do so well against schools with 15 to 18 person teams means that we are doing something rig-ht. It is nice to see Wilkes in the winner's circle ." The varsity squad of the Debate Union will travel to the Washington, D .C. area for competition this weekend, again ~t a very tough, seasoned , national championship team from George Mason University at the Mason campus in Fairfax, Va. The Debate Union is open to any interested individual wanting to participate in public speaking competition and/or argumentation and debate . No previous experience necessary!

IL........................................................................ . ·I ..,_,i �Boaters Chalk Up Two More Wins . by Greg Losier The Wilkes soccer team increased their record to 4-1-1 last week by downing Muhlenberg '.2-1 , and Lycoming 3-0. The Colonel's third win came last Wednesday, September 28, when they took on Muhlenberg College. The first goal of the game was scored by Muhlenberg, due to a defensive mix up early in the first half by the Wilkes hooters. The ball was crossed to an unmarked Muhlenberg player who easily put it past goalie Bill Hankins. The remainder of the first half was controlled by Muhlenberg' s midfielders, but the Wilkes defense held the Mules to only one goal. The Colonels' first break came when freshman Mike Molloy was fouled late in the first half in the penalty area. The foul resulted in freshman Jeff Wertz , the leading goal scorer for Wilkes, slipping the ball under Muhlenberg's goalie, Mike . Diaz for the tying goal. The second half was frustrating, . with numerous fouls and outbursts of anger. Regulation time ended with a 1-1 tie which forced the playing of two, ten-minute, overtime periods. The Colonels proved how well conditioned they are by controlling both overtime periods and only substituting twice during the entire course of the game. The tie-breaking goal came when the Colonels' Mike Crusco beat the Muhlenberg goalie. He was off balance and left the ball for Wertz to finish, and put the Colonels ahead by a score of 2-1. The final minutes of the overtime periods showed Muhlenberg's frustration when one of the players grabbed freshman Matt Wasel and put him in -a headlock. This resulted in a bench-clearing push fight. The fight was quickly supressed and play resµmed after Wa5el was ejected and a Muhlenberg player yellow-carded. Freshman fullback Roy DeLay clears the ball from danger in Wilkes' 2-1 overtime victory over Muhlenburg College. Freshman forward Jeff Wertz beats a Lycoming defender en route to his first of two goals in the Colonels 3-0 win on Homecoming Saturday. Wertz is presently the leading scorer in the MAC with 7 seven goals and one assist. The game ended with the Colonels on top, 2-1. Muhlenberg held a 25-15 shot advantage and _Hankins was called upon to make 18 saves. The second of the two wins came on Homecoming day when the Wilkes Colonels played host to Lycoming College and defeated them by a score of 3-0, giving the Colonels their second shutout of the season. In the beginning of the first half of play neither Lycoming nor Wilkes showed much offense. Most of the game was played in the center of the field . Then , late in the first half, things started happening for the Wilkes strikers. Thirty-eight minutes into the game, freshman Mike Molloy was fouled just outside the penalty area and awarded a direct kick. The shot by Molloy was hit high and in the right corner of the goal, beating Lycoming goalie John Bozzi for the Colonels' first goal. "I saw that the Lycoming defense was taking a lot of time to set up their wall so I picked my spot and shot the ball as quick as I could,'' commented Molloy. The next goal of the game came three minutes later when Molloy chipped a perfect ball over the Lyc_?m- ing defense to junior co-captain Greg Losier. Losier took the ball down field and crossed the ball to Wertz, who easily beat his defender for the second goal. Early in the second half came Wilkes' last goal. Molloy was fouled just outside Lycoming' s penalty area and was awarded a free kick. Molloy passed the ball to Wertz who placed the ball in the upper left corner of the goal. This goal gave the offense of Molloy and Wertz a total of 11 goals in 6 games. Feeling confident of a win, Coach Wingert sent in his substitute players , who also held the Lycoming team scoreless. Contributing to the Colonel's shutout was a consistently strong defensive play on the part of freshmen Frank Wanzor and Gary Klopchin, arid junior co-captain Tim Williams. "I think the team executed restarts well, which we've had trouble with in the past. We also had the advantage of a good scouting report which enabled us to work on Lycoming's weaknesses,'' commented Coach Wingett. Wilkes held an 18-13 shot advantage and goalie Hankins is credited with 7 saves. �page 18 Only The Strongest Will Survive by Charlie Yozwiak Strength is the essence of competitive sports. It is that inner ability that one possesses to push harder, to come from behind and gain the upper hand against an opponent. Strength is that quality which allows you to jump higher, run faster, and hit harder than your opponent. Since strength is foundation of competitive sports, a solid strength program should be the basis of all sports programs. Many athletes on campus feel that this is not the case of Wilkes. The consensus among Wilkes athletes is that our weight room is outdated and under-equiped. The general feeling is that our weight room is not adequate to meet the needs of all Wilkes athletes. A possible solution to this problem would be to upgrade our weight room to suit the needs of athletes and students alike. This can be done by purchasing new equipment and expanding the present weight room to a "fitness center" which could accommodate both men and women. Obviously, sucli"'actions would require money, but I have been approached by members of the Student Government, the Wilkes Barbell Club, athletes and non-athletes alike , who are enthusiastic about raising money to upgrade the present facility. Such enthusiasm, if properly organized and channeled, could result in an excellent and up-to-date " fitness center" which will benefit both the student and th~ student-athlete, and add more power to Wilkes' athletics. In this world of competitive,collegiat,: athletics, strength has become more than an asset, it has become a necessity; This can only be attained with proper facilities and a sound st~ength program. , • • • • Ah, it's Fall again. The leaves turn all different types of colors, making the forest an irridescent spectrum of natural beauty. It's a great time to be alive. It's time for school (well, maybe not that) , football games, and hunting. It's time for us (outdoorsmen) to don the fluorescent orange garb and stalk our favorite prey on our favorite piece of wooded ground . Hunting season will be upon us very shortly. Small Game season (Gray, Black, and Red Squirrels) in Pennsylvania starts on October 15 (just in time for Fall Break). We are already in the midst of Deer Archery season, which began on October 1. Many non-hunters and radical conservationists believe that hunting is cruel and senseless. They are under the impression that hunters derive a demented pleasure from killing defenseless animals. First, the sport of hunting is far from cruel _The animals (deer, for example) would suffer a much worse fate if they weren't hunted during the year. . The ecosystem during the winter simply cannot support the entire deer population . There is just not enough food to go around . The deer that doesn't have , any food eventually will die of starvation . I think that sparing an animal of this fate is not cruel at all. Secondly, most hunters (including myself) don ' t get some kind of sick pleasure out of killing an animal. Sure , there are a few that do it for the sake of killing, but they are a small minority. Although there is a feeling of exhilaration when one is stalking game , this doesn't mean that that person is a sadist. When the adrenalin starts flowing, there is a feeling of excitement. Hunting is not a sadistic activity. It is necessary for the maintenance of the animal populations. Hunting not only prevents animal starvation in the winter, bu tit also provides big revenue to the state of Pennsylvania in the form of hunting licenses. This money is used to maintain our state parks and the wild game populations. Just think what would happen if we eliminated hunting. I don ' t even want to think about it . • • • • The Wilkes College Wrestling team will start practice on Monday, October 10 at 4 pm in the gymnasium. Anyone wishing to participate in the wrestling program as a wrestler, manager, or scorekeeper should contact Coach John Reese in the Weckesser Annex or atthe gymnasium. Lady Colonels · Bow To FDU by Valerie Roberts The Lady Colonels had a slight break last week with only two games on the schedule. The team travelled to FDU for the fourth consecutive road game and were able to beat the home team, 2-0. The team then battled arch rival , University of Scranton to an overtime, but lost 0-1. The team's record now stands at 3-5 after last weekend's game. Coach Gay Meyers mentioned that last Tuesday's game against FDU was the fourth in a row on the road and her team was playing every other day of the week. The team was ''tired.' ' The team had been playing a 4-2 system but changed the system to 5-3 traditional play. Coach Meyers hopes that by moving back to a traditional format her team will have a more effective offensive attack, enabling the defense to tighten up. Coach Meyers said that the team had a sloppy first half against FDU. The team then · settled down and ''played hockey.'' Twentyfive minutes into the second half, Wilkes scored on a key pass from Karen Johnson to Stacy Baldwin, who drove in the first goal. FDU threatened· the Wilkes ·lead when Wilkes fouled and FDU was awarded a penalty stroke. FDU missed their shot and Wilkes took the opportunity to score again . With less than a minute on the clock , Johnson passed to De bi Cometa who secured Wilkes with another goal. The Lady Colonels won 2-0. T earn statistics showed that the Lady Colonels had 12 shots on goal , 11 comers and goalie Tracy Kelly had 10 saves. Karen Johnson had the two key assists which aided Stacy Baldw~n and Debi Cometa to score. Homecoming festivities on Saturday pitted the Colonels against arch rival University of Scranton on the Colonels' home turf, in Kirby Park. Coach Meyers commented that the game against Scranton was better termed a " battle" for the MAC Northeastern Division. The team with the best record would advance to the MAC championship.

Karen Johnson also was injured when on a Scranton attack, she experienced • a muscle spasm in her back, during which Scranton was able to dodge the remainio gdefense and score.

The match was plagued by poor play on the part of both teams. It appeared as though Wilkes would have an easy day when they scored only eighteen seconds into the game , when Mike Molloy beat the Juniata keeper to the far post. At this point the Colonels fell apart and were unable to control the tempo of the game. Shortly thereafter, Juniata mid- fielder slipped through unmarked and was able to get a shot off to the near post. The score remained 1-1 through the rest of the first half and the first 33 minutes of the second half. At this point, there was a scramble in front of the Juniata goal and freshman stopper-back Gary Klopchin ruffled the netcords to put the Colonels up by a score of 2-1. The Colonels held on to win, putting Wilkes at 2-0 in their conference. �WC Football 0 WC -Cr Country 18 WC Tennis _ WC Field Hockey 2 0 ; Susquehanna 59 Baptist Bible 40 Bloomsburg 2 ot Muhlenburg 1 WC -Cr Country 15 WC Volleyball 3 Lycoming FDU-Madison 0 WC Soccer 3 WC-Cr Country 15 WC Field Hockey 0 Lycoming 0 lCCC Scranton WC Soccer Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, Pa . 18766 • 40 ,· 43 FDU-Madison 0 9 ot 1 SCORE BOARD beacon sports Colonels Mauled By Susquehanna by Charlie Yozwiak The Wilkes College football team suffered their third loss of the season to Susquehanna University, 59-0, before a Homecoming day crowd on Saturday, at Ralston Field. The Colonels were hurt badly by turnovers and blocked punts. The Colonels lost five fumbles and had two punts blocked, which gave .Susquehanna easy scoring opportunities. Susquehanna scored 31 points in the · first half with only four first downs. Crusader kicker Todd McCartliy opened up the scoring when he booted a 32-yard field goal with 5:37 ·remaining in the first quarter. Then, late in the first quarter, Crusader Tom Lagerman returned a Bill Buoni punt 46 yards, for a score. The Colonels then made another costly error. After gaining very poor field position inside of their own tenyard line, the Colonels fumbled and lost the ball on their four-yard line. · Susquehanna capitalized on the Colonel's mistake, and ran it in for · another score to put them on top , 170. Undaunted , the Colonels drove down the field in the next series, only to have their visions of a touchdown Freshman quarterback Btad Scarborough looks for room to throw against Susquehanna. Blocking for Scarborough is Kevin Salusj78). Colonel runningback Tim Frateschi dodges Susquehanna defenders to gain a few yards. ' snuffed out by another costly mistake. With the ball on the Susquehanna two-yard line, the Wilkes offensive unit fumbled again and the Crusaders gained possession. The Colonels came out charging again in the second half, with tenacious defense, led by co-captain Rich Murray and defensive end Bernie Kusakavitch. Freshman quarterback Brad Scarborough engineered another substantial drive for the Colonels, only to have it stopped cold by an unyielding Susquehanna defence. It was all Susquehanna after that, with the Crusaders rolling up 28 more points before the final gun sounded, despite the efforts of a stout Colonel defensive unit . Wilkes tried to get on the board later on in the game, but, like the charge of the French Imperial Guard at La Belle Alliance, failed to reach their objective. Although they failed to please the Homecoming crowd with a victory, the Colonels did have their moments. Ed Mann and Brad Scarborough turned in fine offensive performances. George Solomon and Rich Hochreiter put pressure on Susquehanna's offe1,1se all day and tallied a number of quarterback sacks. The Colonels, 0-3 in the season, will be looking to avenge their Homecoming loss when they go on the road Saturday to clash with Moravian College in Bethlehem. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to Jav Siegfried, director of the CPA, the festival is one of many throughout the United States. The American College Festivals are divided into 12 regions . Pennsylvania is a part of Region II, which consists of New York, .New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Wa~hington D.C. · Siegfri ed said the fest ival will he presente<l by the John F. Ken nedy . Center for the Perform ing Arts. The preliminary schedule of events will include many workshops on the methods and techniques of the stage. It will also include three major productions which will be held at the end of each day of the festival. The productions to be performed will be the shows that have been chosen to be the best of abo ut 30 productions entered into the compet ition. Productions from any of th e schools in the region are eligible to be in the competition . Whery a show is entered, representatives are sent to watch and cri tique the production . It is then judged in comparison to other schools. According to Si egfried, this year there were onlv 30 out of 220 schools to enter· the festival. One reason many schools do not enter is because of the expense . The entry fee is about $80 per production. Wilkes College has entered the Elephant Man, but, according to Siegfried, the production cannot wi n because he is chairman of the region. This factor excludes the production from competition. However, he commented that any of his productions may be entered for the students' benefit. The Elephant Man was entered so that Chris Lonstrup, a senior theatre arts major at Wilkes College , could compete for the Irene Ryan Scholarship. T he workshops are for everyone. Siegfried said that any one interest· ed in theatre or commun ications will fi nd the workshops interest . ing. He commentei:l on how some of the workshops may be of interest to the public. On Th ursday, Roger Simon Hendrick is having a " Directing Workshop" in· which he will relay some of the man y experiences he has had working with actors with different degrees of experience. He will also comment on how the actors from many places.~uch as the Netherlands, England, and France, di ffer from America n actors. Another workshop on Saturday, according to Siegfri ed. which may be of some interest to the people of this area is by Zbignew Cynkaus on " A Polish Lab ' Approach to Performance Work , " which may include a film on the Polish theatre .

Just what can we do about this expensive luxury!' Most vandalism is ohserved hy another person , whether a friend or onlooker. The role they play is a passive one. Let's take that passive role and make it an active one. To become active, the person needs incentive . Good idea! What better incentive than money. Let's make the reward worthwhil P. ThP rpw~rrl of ,ion ... sounds like a nice number. Not many of us would mind giving a dollar to establish a fund for this purpose. Anyone can contributestuden,ts, clubs, the college. Post a small- $100 REW ARD on every door. Every person on ~ campus would be continuously aware that if they vandalize, their best friend could be $100 richer. When it comes to money , friends and relatives are soon parted. The moral majority is tired of paying for this expensive luxury . Ruth Schmitt Editor's Note: To the charges made against The Beacon by Dr. Virginia Nehring concerning coverage of recent changes in the Nursing Department (The Beacon, 19 November, 1982, p. 4), the following reply is in order: We appreciate Dr. Nehring's desire to further articulate and/or clarify the recent developments in and i:he various activities of her department, and entourage her as well as any other interested party to write to us and discuss their department's activities. However, we must take exception to her accusation that The Beacon's reporting was "distorted and inaccurate," for after extensive examination of the article in questio°; and of Dr. Nehring' s objection~, as set forth in her letter, we must conclude that this was not so. Our reporter noted that the Nursing Department has been on provisional approval from the State Board of Nursing Examiners, and that Dr. Nehring expects the full approval to be returned this fall to the school; that the department now has three associate professors on its staff; that NLN accreditation is '' not mandatory or necessary ... but it makes it easier for those students who wish to go on for their Master's (degrees) in nursing to get accepted at a school''; and that the NLN tests '' can give students an idea of how they will do on the State Boards.'' These are facts, facts substantiated by Dr. Nehring in her letter of reply. Perhaps Dr. Nehring takes exception to the quoted remarks in the article . If so, we would remind her, and others, that when a Beacon reporter conducts an interview, all conversation, remarks, etc. between reporter and interviewee are '' on the record'' unless expressly agreed upon to be otherwise. The interviewee should keep this fact in mind when responding to reporter's questions. If Dr. Nehring thinks her remarks in the article were quoted inaccurately, she should have noted this in her letter, which she did not. But if she thinks that her remarks should not have been used in the article, that they are of the type to cast doubt on her department or staff, then she should not have made them to our reporter during the interview. We at The Beacon, like Dr. Nehring, are "proud to be associated with Wilkes College," and like her and her staff, we are working hard to improve our program. Criticism of our efforts is always welcomed; we only ask that this criticism be founded on fact and expressed without animosity. Though Dr. Nehring termed our reporting "distorted and inaccurate," she did not, we feel, give sufficient reason to substantiate that claim .

A conservative comment to the staff: proper perspective may be distorted and inaccurate , or just plain My drabble, but from the editor's corn erHappy Holidays' BW Wilkes Security Guard Gives ·Other Side Of Story To the Editor: Well, you certainly hit lightly on your article, November 19th, "Vandalism By A Few." Maybe your article was censored by High er ups, telling you what to print and what not to! But your research did not hit home, why not tell it all, report all the facts , or maybe you asked questions to the wrong people. I.wish you would of asked me a few questions , your pe n would of run out of ink! Lets anal yze vanJalism a little closer , wh y does th is h appen ? Well its very si mple: 1. People caught get off very ligh tly. For instance, lets.say John Doe ri ps down a wooden sem aphore . Wh at happens to him ? He goes before the Dean or wh omever he is told to see. Well John you are a bad boy! Y 0 11 owe the college $4 5.00 , John' s repl y , " I'm sorry " Dean (or wh omever). So John writes home and asks M ommy or Daddy fqr 145.00 or probabl y $60.00 so he' ll h ave $ 15 .00 left to bu y 2 cases of Beer and go out and do it again! Th is is certainly no way to solve a problem . 2. Wh en ca ught! Dismiss the person from the college, no excuses, send him down the Ri ver without a paddle. ' Expell H im 1 or Her ! By now you are probably asking yourself who is this Hard Liner writing this article? Well I 'm a Secu rity Guard! and yo ur thin kin g to your self? No Wonder! I.et me tell yo u why I personally feel thi \ way . First let me say this, I agree that only a very small percentage of the college students are responsible. Maybe as small as two percent! But why are these people never caught? Well nobody likes to be a squealer or fink, but if you see or hear someone doing damage you must think of yourself first, Ask your self a few questions? \\'.hy does tuition go up? Why are some college functions cancelled? Why are some things that are important to · your self never get don e? Wh y? Because of that lousy two perce nt! Th at two percen t of people who coul d care less abo ut a College edu cation or the People around them. Think about it ? T hen do something about it ! Yes, Vandalism has even come to me personally. M y car was broken into , Items stolen , A Clock Radio , 3 books , a carton of cigarettes and a blanket. But th ese things can be replaced , ri ght? Wrong ' The books especially were im portant to me. These books were signed by authors and are irreplaceable. H ow would yo u like to come out to you r ca r and fi nd ti res flatened, Hu b caps stolen, broken antenna, ripped off m irror and th is has happened more th an once! Wh y me ? I don't harass or hin der anybody I'm only doing my job as set by College regulations, your Rules not m ine. So when you come ,,, Fou nder's Hall after 2 A.M . and an \ SK ED FOR YOUR I.D. card. dun ' t cry and curse me, see vnur Student Government and cha!l!.!•· the rules . One more point I would like cleared up. Recently, ahout 2 weeks ago I over heard 3 people talking in Stark Learning Center One was saying someon·e had stolen his jacket out of his ca r and another person said th at· s nothing new! and the third said to the Security Guards its their fault , Well maybe so! But wh at these people don 't kn ow is there are onl y Two Sec urit y Guards on dut y when there should be fou r or even fi ve. Two Guards ca n not cover an area as large as this Campus is and to th at I person who said for th e money they get they shou ld be there when need ed. Well let me te ll these unin fo rm ed people that a Security Guard' s pay is Minimum Wage thats ri ght $3.35 an hour which I' m em ha rrassed to even say , Try run ning a house, keep a ca r going , pay yo ur utilities and eat on these wages 1 Well , yo u wi ll all find that 0 1 when yo u graduate and get out int u th e world, and I wish you all good luck I Remember a Security Guard is here to help yo u , not hinder or harrass you.

Founder's Hall �Dc:ccmberl0,1982,TheBeaa.u,l'ageS 1 Proper Perspective ........................................................................................... by James.Watkinson Late last week, Ted Kennedy announced that he would not be a candidate for the presidency .in the 1984 election. Citing " family reasons,'' he took himself out of the race to the dismay and constern l ation of the liberal wing of the demo\ cratic party. For whatever reasons Kennedy decided to withdraw hi~ 1me from consideration for the -ty's nomination, I am con _ed that it was the right move-Jth for Kennedy and the Democratic Party . The rpajor reason for this conclusion is that while Kennedy would probably have run away with the nomination, it is doubtful that he could have beaten the Easter Bunny in a presi dential race. ,The people of this country still remember his lack of driving skills and his programs are still too far removed from what is now the mainstream of social, economic , and political thinking. The Republican Party should be worried by this turn of evetts because they were as aware as most others that Ted Kennedy would have been the easiest candidate to run against in 1984. Now .the field 7 is wide open for candidates who have heretofore enjoyed · little of the limelight within the Democratic Party and who may be able to offer the party a chance to finally get together. If the economy, unemployment, the deficit, foreign trade , and foreign relations continue on their present, deprrssing path and Ronald Reagan decides to run again, ANYONE whom the Democrats nominate will stand an excellent chance of winning. The cast of characters who stand waiting in the wings for a· chance at the Democratic nomination is long : Cranston and Hart on the left, Fritz Mondale in the middle, and John Glenn on the right, to name but a few . It will be an in_teresting race for the nomination and I hope that the Democrats, with Teddy out of the race now, will turn away from there fratricidal tendencies of the past and put the party hack together . Speaking of fratricide, it looks as though Mr. Reagan's MX system, Dense Pack, and the Pentagc,n budget in general are in jeopard,.·. The MX just barely made it through an appropriation committee this week that has normally voted for almost any new toy the Presiclt:nt or the Pentagon has asked for. Even Howard Baker has warned the President that this project of his faces severe, if not insurmountable difficulties, in Congress. Few people realize that there is also a proposal afoot that would call for an additional anti-ballistic missile system should MX be fund ed . Makes sense doesn ' t it? A missile system to protect a missle system to protect the Minuteman missle system to protect the country. This does not count the Trident missle system, the bomber-based missle system, or the proposed European-based Pershing II system . As was pointed out in recent "no nukes" referenda around the coun try, we the people have had enough of nuclear proliferation . I trust that Congress will have enough sense to listen to the people and enough intestinal fortitude to act accordin,gly. Finallv, the President made his much -ballyhooed trip to Latin America last week. The results were predictable. Ronald Reagan's In Guatamala, the President spent thirty minutes , count 'em, thirty minutes with the President of Guatamala. In this great length of time, the President of the United States was able to ascertain that the Guatamalans were '' getting a raw deal.'' Reagan felt this strongly enough to offer military aid to Guatamala. This comes in the wake of an Amnesty International ongoing obsession with finding a communist behind every subtle movement in that region got in the way of making a11y real progress there. It did not stop the Reagan administration from offering financial support and arms to a few of the more repressive govern ments in the region . The President, in his trip to Brazil, did not bother to ask to see the sickening slums of Rio de Janiero or Sao Paulo. Yet. he was willing to loan billions to this country, the sixth greatest economic power in the world, which won't do something to alleviate the appalling poverty which pervades that country-and yet, paradoxically, he won't support a jobs program in this country. These actions, and inactions. are incomprehensible. report which revealed that 2,600 Guatamalans have been murdered by government troops within the last six months. With that information in mind, one can only assume that the Guatamalan president gave one hell of a thirty minute speech. The President also said that he was prepared to certify to Congress that El Salvador "had made sufficient progress in correcting human rights abuses to warrant a six-month renewal of its military aid. " This, the aforementioned situation in Guatamala , and Latin American policy as a whole point out two things clearly. First, Mr. Reagan and his administration will continue to support some of the most repressive regimes in the world, using the communist menace as an alibi. Secondly , Reagan does not have any understanding of the term "human rights" and certainly has no intention of seeing that they are protected in Central and South America. Conservative Coninient ............................................................................... \... by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. When we opened the first issue of The Beacon way back in September, wf.' were not at all surprised to find "Cot1~rvative Comment" accompanied by a liberal response, James Watkinson's "Proper Perspective." We find open political debate enjoyable, but we also look upon it as performing a more important duty-that of informing the public on key issues. James Watkinson has done his part in presenting the opposite point of view, but as the weeks have gone by we have become more and more astounded by some of the accusations and insults Mr. Watkinson has heaped upon his opponents. After 10 weeks of " Proper Perspective , " here is our repiy. On September 10, in his first column, Mr. Watkinson lashed out ' at Israel, . the Begin government , and President Reagan. Anyone can accept an honest disagreement with Israeli policy, but to question the government's sanity is another ' matter. Mr. Watkinson said "(The Reagan plan) assumes there is a rational government in Israel." About Reagan, Mr. Watkinson said. "It is time for this administration to take off its blinders and pull out its ear plugs ... " If President Reagan did have on .blinders, would he have even recognized or pr0posed a solution to the Palestinian question? We think not. September 17 found Mr. Watlcinson claiming Reagan showed a · 'remarkable lack of understandng '' on the Soviet natural gas pipeline. This implies 'that the president and other pipeline critics (including ourselves) had no coherent basis for their anti-pipeline , stand<;. Quite to the contrary, the anti-pipeline arguments were at least economically and morally the equal of any pro-pipeline stand, and were ·well formulated and sensible. If Mr. Watkinson disagreed, fine, but to insinuate that his opponents did not even understand Conscientious Objector status, so if one is an authentic objector, there is no problem. Second, failure to register is illegal. Does the president 's denouncing of illegal activity really make him against civil liberties? The answer is quite obvious. How about this one on November 5 : '' .. . the public will no longer stand for the ravings of those (nuclear freeze opponents) who would lead us to nuclear holocaust." To even suggest that free7.,.e opponents desire nuclear war is ridiculous in the extreme. Mr. Watkinson should understand that although the means of both sides are different, the ends they wish to achieve are the sameprevention of nuclear war. It is un fortunate that such absurd claims should cloud the discussion of such a vital issue. On November 12, Mr. Watkinson said of Jerrr Falwell , "Let's face it, the man s oot all there , " after claiming that Falwell was a On October 1, Mr. Watkinson "borderline psychotic. " We really claimed that "Right to Life groups, don't know how to answer such a while professing a great deal of compreposterous claim. It's too bad passion , really have none . . . '' that because Falwell does not agree After hours of contemplation, we with Mr. Watkinson, and for that still come up with no rationalizamatter the rest of the liberal media, tion for this statement. Whether - he is subject to such sc;athing derisone is for or against abortion , one ion because he fights for what he usually recognizes that anti-aborbelieves. If fighting for your opinions is psychotic, then this nation tionists believe they are fighting for human life, which is about as comwas founded on lunacy. Finally, on November 19, Mr. passionate as one can get. To Watkinson proclaimed that Ronclaim this compassion does not exist ald Reagan is a McCarthyist. Mr. is most insulting and uncalled for. October 8 found Mr. WatkinWatkinson, you see, does not belson insinuating that the Reaga!} ieve the president when he charges that there has been outside instigaAdministration was nothing short of repressive. First, he accused the tion of the nuclear freeze movement. Unfortunately for Mr. WatReagan administration of followin~ a "blatantly militaristic course.' kinson, the State Department has a list of nine reputable publications If Reagan's 23 percent of the budwhich have evidence to the same get for defense and draft registraeffect, and the FBI has become intion is militaristic, then John F. volved in the investigation. Again, Kennedy's 45 percent for defense because Ronald Reagan simply has and then current draft makes information that Mr. Watkinson Kennedy look like Adolph Hitler! does not want to hear, Mr. WatMr. Watkinson follows this with a kinson feels obliged to answer with reference to men who failed to rega vicious personal attack. We find ister, by saying, ''this administrathis unfortunate. tion does not take kindly to these The purpose of this reply to sorts of expression of individualism ''Proper Perspective'' is twofold. and civilliberty." Mr. Watkinson fails to mention two points: First, Primarily, we wish to demonstrate Selective Service does provide · for the issue is absurd. James Watkinson 's September 24 column was one which even antiReagan people found hard to swallow. Here, Mr. Watkinson did not just criticize President Reagan, he called Reagan a liar when the presi dent claimed an_eEJ~ndit_l:!re bill that came in under budget was a budget buster. Mr. Watkinson said , ''Reagan. however, is willing to lie to the country ." Does Mr. Watkinson not understand that th is expenditure bi II went over budget on social programs that were to be reduced? Military expendi tures were reduced , so the hill did come under budget. The social budget , which accounts for 53 percent of the federal budget, was i•n effect " busted." To call Presi dent Reagan a ''liar ' ' because of this borders on slander . A little restraint on Mr. Watkinson ' s part would have been appropriate. some of the inaccuracies and fal lacies presented weekly by Mr. Watkinson, which may tend to confuse the public. Second, we hope Mr. Watkinson will realize that such unsubstantiated claims on his part can only discredit him and detract from the finer points of his columns. It is much more constructive to talk issue rather than personality. We apologize if at any point in this column our disagreements with Mr. Watkinson came across as personal attacks. Any such intonation on our part is purely unintentional; furthermore, we do not claim to be saints in the world of political writers, but we do try to sµbstantiate all of our claims. It was our belief that a reply to Mr. Watkinson was appropriate at this time. Since this is the final edition of The Beacon this year, we would like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to all of our reader/i., both those who agree with us and those who disagree, and also The Beacon staff for allowing us to present the conservative point of view. Happy Holidays to all, and we'll be back next year to celebrate the beginning of the '83 economic recovery.

Clarinetist Displays 'Unique Style' According to . music critics throughout the country, Richard Stoltzman is well on his way to joining the ranks of music-world superstars. Local audiences were offered the opportunity to judge for themselves when Stoltzman recently appeared as a guest of the Wilkes College Concert and Lecture Series in the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . The first clarinetist ever to give a solo performance in Carnegie Hall, Stoltzman has a repertoire which.encompasses everything from Dixieland Jazz to Mozart and Brahms. His program at Wilkes included a broad sampling of that versatility . He played from Bach and Busch and also did a tribute to Benny Goodman . Commenting on his unique style, he said, "Many people are surprised at the sound potential of the clarinet. Often their expectations were formed at the junior high school level, so they never experienced the clarinet as an instrument with a full range of emotion. I try to make it sound as close to a human voice as is possible, exploring tone colors , extremes of.dynamics , range and interpretive possibilities. I want the audience to forget · there's a clarinet between it and the music ." Stoltzman lives in Oakland , California, with his wife, Lucy, who is an accomplished chamber music artist and former Associate Concertmaster of the San Francisco Symphony. They have a son, Peter, age 5. 4M5104 rw1iKis COi.iiGi siui>ENTs] START THE NEW YEAR RIGHT CHECK OUT THE ARMY ROTC PROGRAM AT KING'S COLLEGE • No Oblig.ation During Your Freshman and Sophomore Year Toe Beacon Parrish Hill 16 S .

Dr. Kenneth Klemow is one such botanist. · Klemow , a native of Hazelton, received his B.S. from the University of Miami. He stated that he chose the school because of its baseball program. "It had a nation ally ranked team." He became interested in biology quite accidentally. He chose it as his major at Miami because it was the subject he "least hated in high school. " He recalled that after his first few hiologv l.cctures he "fell in love with it .' ' He went on to receive his M.S. and Ph .D. from SUNY . S\'racuse . Klemow noted that he came 10 Wilkes because he was famiu.ir with the area and he saw "lots of opportunit y for research." He is particularly interested in natural revegetation. He did his doctoral thesis on natural revegetation in a limestone quarry and is now in terested in revegetation in st rip mine areas. • Although this is his first full time teaching poisition. K lf'mow is not without experience. H, · was a part-time teacher during the spring semester at SUNY , Binghamton. He also has six years experience as a graduate teaching assistant.

Today though, the publishing scene has changed . Large conglomerates have taken over many of the old publishing houses . The result has been the concentration on the short-term success of the "big name'' authors at the expense of the unknowns trying to have their works put between hard covers. One consequence of the new trends in publishing has been the decrease in the number of serious works comii:ig out each year and an increase in the amount of less serious works , as witnessed by Erma Bornbeck having three titles on the Top Ten Best Seller List for 1970 to 1980. There is, however, a chance that the publishing world will soon be returning to the days when there was . ··· ·· as much attention paid to the written line as the bottom line, at least according to one Philadelphia-based author who spends two days a week in the Wyoming Valley area. Toby Olson, the writer-inresidence at Wilkes College, said he has a feeling that the big corporations which now control the publishing industry may be thinking of ridding' themselves of their publishing divisions. " I sense the conglomerates are finding out they're not getting the right return on their dollar. They'll dump these things if the profit margin isn't right," said Olson . The 45 -year-old Olson, as associate professor at Temple University, is the author of two novels and 15 books of poetry . His novels include Life of Jesus and Seaview, both published by New Directions. t.~.i.:,• ~=e'mn a,1m,11ns.

One of his goals at a school like Wilkes is to bring together all the students on campus who are writers so that they can talk about their craft. As for the overall condition of lit• erature on college campuses today , Olson sees a decline in interest among students. "In general , students don ' t read as much for pleasure," he said. Laying much of the blame for the · present state of affairs on the publishing houses, he said , "today's publisher doesn't attempt to elevate the reading audience as much as he u ys to pander to them .''

Reese stated, "the team usually wrestles well against them, but this time the kids ~ere tight and did not wrestle really well." However, considering the fact that the Lehigh team boasts two national champions and two Eastern champions, the loss is understandable. Freshman Marc Sodano got things started for the Colonels at ll8, but he was pinned by Weaver of Lehigh at 2:48 . Next up was senior Kris Rowlette at 126, and he was decisioned by Sam om 7. 5.

Shouid Wilkes ·F ootball Be Discontinued? by Chris Baron Wilkes turns in another poor performance on the gridiron and, like every other year, the calls to end the football program are being heard. As both a student and a player I would like to address this issue. Most people who favor dropping the program site expense as their main reason. There is no doubt about it, football is a very expensive sport. But consider for a moment that football atuacts more students to Wilkes than any other sport. This year's pre-season roster had 58 players on it . Most of those 58 came to Wilkes because it had a football program. Although I could not obtain a dollar figure as to the amount of money spent on football at . Wilkes, I was told by members of the athletic department that the $26,800 in tuition generated by thes~ players far exceeds the operating budget of the program . . · I think the people who are calling for an end to football are more concerned with the teams record than they are with the expense involved . I doubt that there was any talk of dropping the program when the team was running up 32 straight wins. How often do we hear cries to end wrestling at Wilkes? If expense is the problem, maybe we should drop all sportS. Even beuer, let's abolish all extracurricular activities. Think of the money we would save on tuition if we abolished spons, speech and debate, publication of a school newspaper, the Academi_!: Support Center ... etc. Obviously, I'm being facetious. Any worthwhile learning institution knows the importance of these activities as part of total educat.ion . Too often we overlook athletics as an educational experience. · When I came to Wilkes, I left a v~ry successful high school football program . It was hard for me to adjust to the 3-6, o.:'9 and 1-8 seasons. as a ColoneL I can remember my family and friends asking me why. Why go ~ack_ year after year? _Like mo_st players I wasn't rc;_ceiving any money for playing at Wilkes. The team was ab object of ridicule at the College . About aH I was getting out ofit 'fas.a beaten body. So, I .began to ask myself, "Why?" One day I found the answer. " I wasn' t practicing that day becaµse my eye was swollen shut from a practice injury. As I waited for the team cfoctor I strolled ~ound the field house. I found a dedication plaque with a quote from Theodore Roosevelt on it . ''Far better is it to dare mighty i.hings, to win gloriou triumph ev!;:n though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight.that knows not victory or defeat." . From that point, I never again asked myself, " Why? " The comments from sports writers and guys in the dorm didn't borher me any more . Most of the people who have cut down the program over the years have never gone out there and put it all on the line. I feel sorry for these people because they don't know what ies like to truly win or lose . By playing foo tball at Wilkes, I have learned a great deal about myself and others . I have learned about the power which comes through cooperation. I have learned what it is like to give every ounce of effort arid still come away defeated . I have learned that to be successful you've got to go out there day afterdaywithout ·any guarantee of winning. Sure , it's just a game, but to me it has been an exercise in life , a valuable lesson that I wouldn ' t have learned from a book or a lecture . Soon I will be an alumnus of Wilkes and I would feel very bitter if the College dropped the program . I say this not only because I'm a former player, but because I believe that if the program is abolished other spans and activities will soon follow . Football , like all other out-of-the-classroom activities, is an important part of what this College is supposed to srand for. As the College 's guide to education states, "An educated man knows that man's progress requires intellectual vigor, moral courage, and physical endurance .'' YES ==>> a NO <<== , by Ellen Van Riper EDITOR'S NOTE: The following proposition is not necessarily (he opinion of the writer. The Beacon Sports Department; or of The Beacon itself. It is being presented purely for the sake of argument as an example of what could possibly happen if the College continues to face economic difficulties in the future , At present the entire nation is feeling the effects of an economic recession. Times are tough, and there are unfortunately few signs of recovery at least within the immediate future . American colleges and universities have not remained unscathed . Costs are up and enrollments are down, and many institutions are experiencing exueme difficulties . Many have been forced to re-evaluate their budgets and programs. Wilkes College has been no stranger to all of these problems . As a result , the administration has had to cut budgets and various programs. Such necessitated measures are not popular with all of the people assodated with the Colleg~. but we all must tighten our belts for all of our sakes . Faltering and expensive programs should be either curtailed or discontinued . One such failing program whi<;h is costly is the football team. Due to the inherent hazardous nature of the sport, it is extremely expensive. A College c:mnot afford to field a team cheaply : The players must have the best available c;quipment for their protection, and such quality costs . Considering this a~d the fact that the team has failed to produce a winning season in the past eight years, one would _have ,to question t,he viability of retaining such a program. I ask, what pnce for a football team?, and I answer, too much . The ·costs of establishing and maintaining a football team are many and · ' are high . Equipment alone is astronomical, especially when multiplied by 4 5 · or 50 p_layers. There are costs for uniforms, cleats, helmets, and padding. And unfortunately, much of this equipment lasts for less than three years . · There are also costs associated with the field, the stadium, training equipment and facilities, and transportation and food. In addition, there is a need for a number of specialized coaches. _ ~ere are probably other costs related to this sport, but the point is that it 1s either the first or second most expe~sive athletic program at Wilkes. (I do not know the exact budget figures for the various programs, but I would presume that the wrestling team may lead in this category .) If the program were successful year in and year out, retainment of it would be justifiable, for various reasons . A successful program would attract students to Wilkes and fans to the stands. Unfortunately, this is not the case . The team has not been a winner for eight years, and things have been particularly dismal the past two seasons (a two-year record of 1-17). The result has been a decline in participation and a decline in spectator attendance . In other ~ords, the program is not successfully justifying itself. The discontinuation of the football program would not be popular with everybody at the College for obvious reasons, but such a measure could be beneficial. The funds could be reapportioned and channeled into other College programs . Personally, I would like to see most of it allotted to the other athlet!c programs. They could be upgraded, and in time the College would not miss the footba~ program.Just think of all of the equipment that could be purchased for the other teams. Such a reapportionment could provide tremendous boost to all of the other p rograms. · Footba:11 is a very popular sport, but it is expensive. If a team has not had continued success and large numbers of participants for a number of years, the program should be r~-evalu~ted. Such a measure is especially necessary durmg such economic difficulties as those now being experienced by the College. a �Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA 187~ BEACON SPORTS Vol. XXXV No.12 December 10, 1982 Lady Colonel Cagers Split First Four Games Of Year by Ellen Van Riper ''Commendable'' is the adjective that Lady Colonel Head · Coach Nancy Roberts used to describe her team's performance so far this season. The ladies opened 1982-83 on the road at the Indiana U_niversity of Pennsylvania Tournament. November 19 and 20, and they were handed two close setbacks. However, more recently on December 2 · and 4. they have recorded two impressive victories to even the season slate at 2-2. The early games at Indiana served a dual purpose for the L~y Colonels. First of all, the contests afforded them a golden opportunity • to learn Coach Roberts' system and to become acquainted with each other's talents and abilities. Secondly, the tournament provided a glimpse of just how good these ladies could be . Both of the opponents, Malone and Westminster, were Division II institutions , so the Lady Colonels were issued quite a challenge . Even though they did lose , they played well, as evidenced by the total point difference of six between the two games . On November 19 the Lady Colonels were defeated by Malone 70-66, and the high scorer for the Lady Colonels was sophomore guard Charlene Hurst with 21. Hurst received support from freshman Michelle Zowioski and from junior Co-Captain Kim Smith . Zowioski had an all-around impressive game tallying 17 points and grabbing 11 rebounds . Smith chipped in with 11 points . Zowioski received support on the backboards from junior Co-Captain Karen Bove who snared nine total. The next day the ladies faced Westminster, and the difference was in this one a field goal, 7 3- 71. This time the team mustered a balanced scoring attack. Leading the way was freshman guard Donna Martin with 19, and right behind her was Smith. with 18 and 11 rebounds. Zowioski chipped in 11 points and 12 rebounds , and Hurst added 10. Providing strength to the rebounding was another freshman , Michalene Chernicavage, who took down nine caroms . Once back in amongst the familiar surroundings of the Wyoming Valley, the Lady Colonels discovered the winning touch. On December 2, the ladies played their season home opener against the Aggies of Delaware Valley. Throughout the game, the Lady Colonels, despite a poor field goal percentage, were able to continu- ously build margins in double figures . The ladies were able to overcome some hot shooting by the Aggies, and they recorded their first victory of the season by a score of 7467. In this game the offense was spearheaded by Donna Martin and Kim Smith who both hit for 20 plus. Martin played an all-around excellent game and provided steady scoring all night to egd with 27 . Smith scored most of her points in the second half, and at one point she single-handedly suppressed an Aggie comeback. She tallied 22.overall. The other Lady Colonel in twod igits was Charlene Hurst with 10. Defensively, both Karen Bove and Michalene Chernicavage provided solid performances . Bove hauled in 13 rebounds, and Chernicavage swatted away an amazing 12 shots to establish a new school record . Two days later, the Lady Colonels journeyed to Marywood College to face the Pacers . Traditionally, Marywood has been a tough opponent for the Wilkes women, and it remained that way for a while . Aided by some hot shooting, the Marywood team established an early eight point lead over the Lady Colonels. However, the ladies in the blue and gold came back with some offense power of their own to erase this deficit and establish their own of 15 . From this point on , the Lad y CONCENTRATION IN TRAFFIC.

According to Dan Talenti, a student representative for the Academic Standards Committee, the motion was made to prohjbit major tests during the last fiv11 days of classes. Sixty-nine of the College ' s 160 faculty members were present at the meeting and defeated the motion. The vote was 44- 25 , almost a 2: 1 ratio. Talenti explained that the issue was voted on due to the confusion among both students and faculty . He said that a few years ago, the fac ulty "supposedly" rejected the policy which would prohibit testing during this time period. Apparently, Talenti further explained, the vote was not recorded in the min utes and was therefore overlooked. So, the policy remained in the Student Handbook . The policy , as it appeared in the 1981 -82 Student Handbook, reads : "No major examination may be given d1,1ring the last five class days preceding final examinations without the approval of the depart ment chairman and the Dean of Academic Affairs. Routine quizzes are not prohibited during the final week of classes." Talenti stated that because many faculty members "knew " the policy had been rejected, they treated it as such. · He said the issue was repeatedly discussed in Student Government . "I think if any students on this campus didn't know any policies in this school, they knew that tests shouldn't be administered in -the last week of classes,'' Talenti commented. In the discussion prior to the vote, Talenti recalled that several faculty members said they, as instructors , were the best persons to know when and when not to give tests. One professor said it was a " breech of his academic freedom" not to be allowed to administer exams when he elected to. Dr. John Stevens agreed that students need studyi ng time , but he explained , "It seems to me that the time should come out of a readi ng period, NOT out of class period. Professors should have the freedom to run classes as they want .' ' Talenti added that other faculty members · said they thought it (the policy to .exclude exams) was a way for students to "get off easy," and they stressed that it was their job to prepare students for future jobs and/or graduate school. Talenti said those faculty mem- hers who supported the motion said there was precedent for it ·because larger schools, like Yale , - have a full week of reading days. · They pointed out that Wilkes has on ly two reading days and students need the time to begin studying for finals. ''I think there should be no tests in the last week of classes, " Dr. Philip Rizzo stated. He explained that some people tend to abuse the policy by giving a final exam that week and then "skipping " the final examination period. Dr. Rizzo called this abuse " unfair to the stu dents , the system and the College .''. Several students responded negatively to the newly-passed policy. ''I don't agree with them ," Kev in McDonnel, a junior communications major responded, "The last week of classes sho'uld be dedicated solely to preparation for final exams.'' Carol Beahm, a senior biology I psychology major protested, "What is the sense of giving a final if there is going to be a major exam in the last week? Besides that, why should you have to study for a major exam when have to be· studying for fi,,wls?' . TaJenti noted that the issue will probably be brought up again. " But , this time we'll lobby professors and work out some of the problems with it,'' he added . rou by John Finn. Human Rights Group Gia,esHope To Prisoners -Coraggio! ----- During the final days of World _War II , a captured resistence member sat alone m a dark pnson cell, tired, hungry and convinced of approaching death. After weeks of torture and torment, the prisoner was sure there was no hope- that no one knew or cared. But in the middle of the night the door of the cell was opened . The jailer, sho~ting abuse , threw a loaf of bread onto the dirt floor. The prisoner, by then ravenous , tore apart the loaf. Inside was a matchbox ; and in the matchbox were not only matches, but a scrap of paper. .. She lit a match , and read , on the paper, a smgle word. Coraggio Take courage. Don 't give up . We are trying to help you. Coraggiol -------- ---- A campus chapter of a non political human rights organization is being formed at Wilkes by a few people who say students today haven't lost their sense of idealism. The organization is Amnesty International, the largest human rights movement in the world, with more than 250,000 members in 151 countries. The stated goal of Amnesty International is to work for the correction of human rights violations throughout the world and to "focus . .. work exclusively on the following concerns: 1) prison ers being held for the non-violent expression of their beliefs; 2) pol· itical prisoners who have been denied a fair and prompt trial, and 3) all prisoners who are tortured or sentenced to death ." Timothy Cain, Wilkes professor of English and coordinator of the new group at Wilkes , said he was first attracted by Amnesty International because it is "impartial and not the arm of any political group or ideology ." Amnesty is also independent of all govern ments, economic interests, and religious creeds. In order to ensure this independence, local chapters do not become involved with human The Wilkes College Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Jerry Campbell, will perform .in concert Tuesday, Nov. 23, at 8:15 p.m. in the C.P .A. Admission is free. The program will include works by Giannini, Bennett, Persichetti, and Weinberger. VandalisatBy A. Few, Paid For By All Vandalism on the Wilkes College campus is on the increase . Both Tod Hogan, IRHC Vandalism Committee chairman, and Paul Adams, housing director, agreed that costs from vandalism this semester "seem higher 'than before.' ' Adams reported that approximately 13 hundred dollars worth of damaj!e has been done on campus this year. This figure does not include those damag~s with rights violations in their host country. In other words, the Wilkes group may concentrate on prisoners in South America or Asia . "We're probably not going to change the world," Cain added, "but if individuals can be saved, it is worth the effort.'' Amnesty International activities can take several forms. These include adoption groups, urgent action networks , campus networks, medical capacity committees and indi vidual activities. An urgent action group has been operating at Wilkes for the past few months under the direction of Dr. Frank Lieb, but Cain has been working since September to establish a campus network. Members of an urgent action group periodically send telegrams or airmail to governments, newspapers, and embassies in order to help persons who are in immediate and serious danger. The campus group will also conduct letter writing campaigns and will maintain the urgent action group as part of its organization . In addition, however , the campus group will be involved with human rights education, which is intended to accomplish the long term goals of preventing rights violation ~. costs still pending or those <.tamages not yet reported. Adams expressed the opinion that 95 percent of the students at Wilkes do not contribute to the destruction. This leaves those few who damage the campus to raise the operating costs of the college. Adams stated that this leads to a raise in the cost of tuition and gives college students a bad name. Another point made by Adams was that much of the destruction stems from abuse of alcohol and a lack of respect for property belonging to others. Hogan also noted much of the campus destruction is due to irresponsible drinking behavior. He stated that perhaps the school needs a stricter policy regarding vandalism; he suggested that a fine be given above and beyond the cost of repairing the vandalized item, sighting Messiah College's vandalismpreventionflan as an example. Much o the damage occurs on the weekends. This year, glass doors in Pickering and Founders Hall were broken frequently . The door at Founders, one of the exit doors at the back of the bui lding near the parking lot, cost $400 to repair. Also in Founders Hall , unknown vandals ripped a sink from the wall in the fourth floor men 's side and spirited it away. . When the persons responsible for damage to residence halls are not reported or do not come for ward and admit that . they are responsible, the residents of the damaged hall are all charged for the cost of the vandalism. Residence halls are not the only targets of vandalism on campus th is year. Hogan reporte_d that every weekend thus far someone has ripped down the wooden semaphore , the arm which blocks entrances to parking lots, at the parkin·g area between Stark Leaming Center and Chase Hall . Each of these cost $45 to replace. �Page 2, The Beacon, November 19 1982 IRHC Meeting Food Service May Close On Sundays most nights once again goes south for the winter. It was decided to give the publicity a chance before deciding to close the snack bar. Adams also reported that Founders Hall would be used this year for students who must stay on campus during holidays : second floor will be used for Thanksgiving, third floor will be used for Christmas, and fourth floor for Easter. Under the continuing saga of the Cinderella Ball, the final decision on dress for the ball is formal ; men m ust wear tuxedos or three-piece by Becky Whi~man News from Paul Adams that the college food service wished to close the snack bar in the Student Center on Sunday nights because of an apparent lack of patronage by students brought protest from those present at Sunday night's IRHC meeting. Adams reported that, at present, the food service is operating the Sunday night snack bar at a deficit and came to Housing with the suggestion that the snack bar be closed for those evenings .

"They are going on a limb for us , " said Bowanko. She said that no guarantees or promises have been made to the business by the school. She also said that students who do business with Bevan's will be given the choice of any color or style tuxedo in the store. · It was also announced that the princess of the Ball will be chosen by random selection. On Saturday, November 20 , a diabetes fund raiser will be held in the gym from 1 to 3 p.m . The theme of the drive is , " Make the shot that counts.'' The object of the drive is for studeAts to find a sponsor who will pay a certain amount each time the student makes a basket. The males will be given 1 minute and the females will be gi ven 2 minutes to make as man y baskets as possi ble. The fund raiser is being held by Stacy Keeley and Terry Shemo.

A coffeehouse will be held in the Student Center on December 3 from 11 a.m . to 2 p.m. Entertainment will be provided by Tom At the CC meeting th is wee k the agenda for the 50th Ann iversary Cinderella Ball was reviewed by representatives. Nancy Bowanko, head of the 50th Anniversary Committee, started the discussion with comments about the menu and drinks . In general , she said that the meal will include : French onion soup, lasagne, prime rib, and for dessert a creme de mint parfait. A specific menu may be obtained from the CC office. Drinks served will be 75 cents for beer and wine, $3 for a pitcher of beer, · $1. 50 for drinks made with the house liquor , and $1 75 for drinks made with other brands. Coctail hour will be from 6:30 to 7:30 , dinner will be from 7:30 to 9, and then from 9 unt il the end of the evening music will be provided by Mirria. It was stressed by Bowanko that students are not allmyed to bring liquor to the Ball. She said that if students are caught with liquor it will be taken away. She said it is hoped by the committee that students will not bring bottles into the Ball as it would put a damper on the evening.

Maggie Quinlan seconded this by stating that she felt the biggest problem was simply that too many students ·were unaware that the snack bar was open on Sunday nights. ' President LeBlanc reported that the NACURH conference was a "success." She also noted that John Anderson, a presidential candid~te Stacy Keely also noted that the problem might be lessened when Softie, a vendor who sells hoagies and ju~_k food from a van on campus in 1980, was the guest speaker at the conference.

The group is designed so that students meet bi-monthly to discuss rec_ent scientific journals. Dr. Penelope Padgett , assistant pro fessor of biology, who started the club~ said that the purpose of the group is to help students critically read journal articles and to recognize well written articles from poorly written ones . She also said that the meetings will help students recognize what an author wants to relay in an article. Dr. Lester Turoczi, associate professor of biology , and Dr. Louis Rigley , associate professor of bioology, are also involve~ in the i;tmip. They act as advisors to a group of about 10 students. Rigley said the group will acquaint students with many di verse subjects being studied in biology. Each time the group meets, a selected student or advisor reads a journal to the group . Rigley said that the journal is chosen by whoever . reads at the meeting, but he commented that when a student picks the article it is usually checked by an advisor to make sure rt is appropriate for discussion . Rigley said the Journal Society has been meeting since the begin· ning of th~ semester. He said the Biology Department plans to continue t~e Journal Society with hopes that participation will increase to other students majoring in biology. Right now, he said, the students involved are mainly research students. Their joining was not man- datory, but he said they were advi~d that participation in the Journal Society would be helpful in the future . "It's to their benefit," he said. Padgett commented that journal societies are not uncommon. She said they are common in graduate schools. In fact, she said that students who furth er their education beyond undergraduate ~ork will most likely be exposed to many journal societies. She also commented that the journal society lwre will be a benefit to students as many of them will fu rther their education. Padgett said that the good thing about journal societies is that they teach independent thinking. Rigley said, '' The journal society was one of the best parts of my graduate work.'' History Club Reviews WWI Hlstory students and professors recently gathered at the Annette Evans Alumni House to discuss America's entry into World War I. The event was co-sponsored by the History Club and Phi Alpha Theta , the national history honor society, and offered these organizations an opportunity to discuss their plans for the year. The discu$sion on World War I and America's decision to enter the war lasted more than an hour with a lmost everyone participating . Dr. Rodechko and Dr. Bedatsky, who held different opinions on why the U.S. decided to become actively involved, first presented their views and this was followed by general group discussion . Also explained . at the meeting were the History Club's plans for a field trip on December 4 . The plan is, at present , to visit the aircraft carrier Intrepid which is now moored on the Hudson River and has been converted into an air/ space museum . Discussion of the requirements for eligibility for Phi Alpha Theta followed . The requirements are a minimum of 12 credit hours in history with a minimum of a 3.0 average in these courses plus a 3.0 average in two thirds of all other courses . Rodechko stressed that a student does not have to be a history major to be eligible as long as all the requirements are met. Applications were handed out to those students attending the meeting who met the requirements and were interested in joining. Those accepted will be announced and inducted at the annual Phi Alpha Theta banquet. Rodechko also stated that one of his main problems is that he has no -~ffective way of finding out who is eligible for the honor society. Those interested must come to him. Ap- plications are still available in the History Department. Following the announcements and discussion, coffee and donuts were served . ----NOTICE---- The Managing Editor of The Beacon has been informed by: the Associate Dean of Student Affairs that the Wilkes-Barre police were on campus on Mondav, November 15,because a student had been harassed by an unidentified person while the student was on her way to campus.

The title is misleading. It implies that the Department was falling apart before I came. That is absolutely false . I will cite just a few examples. Ms. McHenry and the rest of the faculty did a fantastic job obtaining funding from outside resources to build one of the best Departments of Nursing in Penn sylvania. Almost half a million dollars was obtained to build a Learning Center so effective and impressive it has been toured by persons from several states. In addition she and the faculty worked very hard to obtain initial National League for Nursing acc reditation. At that time a program could be accredited for a varying length of time depending primarily on how well the program's strengths were documented and demonstrated to National League for Nursing visitors and Board. The faculty were' naturally very pleased (and deserving) to obtain accreditation for the maximum period of time. We also have received federal funds to enable us to expand our geriatric nursing component . Wilkes has become known for our expertise in this rapidly growing area of health care. As one example, Ms. Kolanowski, Project Director, has not only published widely on the care of the aged, but she was recently in Canada where she spoke on the subject . . Other faculty are also nationally known . Again, to give just one example, Ms. Harrison published a book on care of the mentally retarded. Her second book on this subject is about to go to press. The Department of Nursing for years has published a nursing al umni news letter called ''The Pulse ." This publication kept ' nursing majors and alumni informed of events within the Department.

Facultv t!O ,,. �November 19, 1982, The ~con, by Stephen K. Urbanski and James J. Haggerty, Jr. A few wee ks ago, a letter whi ch appeared in Th e Beacon suggest ed th at we had ' ' carefully avo ided" the issue of nuclear waste in our column on PP&L's nuclear power lecture series. We would like to assure our readers that we did not avoid the issue; the requirements of space limited us to covering only a few major points, namely the cost of nuclear power plants , and their operating safety. We would like to thank Mr. Carl J. · Borgstrom for his letter , and here is our reply on the issue of nuclear waste. In our opinion , if environm entalists have a real concern for the public health and welfare , they should be protesting loudest against the greatest danger to it. Their prime target these days is nuclear energy_ So , evident ly , _nuclear energy must be more dangerous t'1,an all other en ergy producing resatirces, especi all y coal, which is the most popul ar fu el for electric generation . Let us loo k at the facts and see if this ·is co rrect . Coal plants produce man y types of dangerous wastes. The principal among these is carbo11 dioxide, which is produced at the rate of 500 pounds per second in an aver age plant . In small amounts , this is not a dangerous gas , but there is serious concern about the climato-· logical and ecological damage this is causing, especially as pertaining to the well known greenhouse effect. Simply put , a large increase in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would cause a rise in the earth's average temperature. Even· a small increase here would have devastating effects, incl uding possible melting of the polar ice caps , which in turn would have devastating effects on the coast al regions of the world. · Coal plants also produce nitrogen oxide , the principal pollutant from aut omobiles. Thi s pollu tant is produced at a rate equa l to-that of 200 ,000 cars! Additionally , coal plants produce more th an 40 known cancer causing chemicals , including the most dangerous components of cigarette smoke . Enough ? Well, we have not eve n ment ioned the most dangero us waste yet , the sulf11r compounds . A ton of these is di scharged everv five minutes . H ere are the devastating results from just one average coal plant annually : 25 fatalities (!). 60,00() cases of respiratory dis ease, and $25 ,000,000 in prorerty damage. Surprising? Don't the environ mentalists· know this? Now , let 's look objectively at the wastes of a nuclear power plant. The amount of nuclear wastes are five million times smaller by weight, and billions of times smaller by volume than those of an equivalent coal plant. In fact, the amount of nuclear waste is so small that one plant' s annual production of these would probably fit under your dining room tabl e! Recently, man y people such as Mr. Borgst rom have expressed their concern s over the dangers of perm anently storin g nucl ear waste. We feel that this concern is misplaced. For permanent disposal, nuclear wa~te (if it is not recycled ) will be converted into a rock -like form and huried de~ underground. The worrv here is that radioactivity will escape into the human food cycle , hut the processes which cause this typi cally take tens of thousands of years . Despite all the talk of " Rad ioactive half-lives, " nuclear wa~te loses 99.98 percent of its toxicity after only 500 years of burial, mak ing it less radioactive than many natural rocks . With regard to long term effects, consider the rate at which rock is eroded. In average rock at waste burial depth , less than one atom in two trillion escapes in to human food or drink each year. Therefore, one year's buried waste from a nuclear plant might cause an average of .0()1 fatalities per year. We have yet to find one category in which nuclear wastes can be shown to be as dangerous as those of coal , yet the so-called " environ mental advoca tes " apply a ridicu lous dou ble standard to nuclear power , wh ile ignoring the grea ter dangers of coal. The facts, however, clearly sh ine through the shallow hypocrisy of anti -nuclear .arguments. Any comments or criticisms are welcome. Please write to us · at Tbe Beacon. Proper Perspective ..................................·... -~ ..........-.~ .......... . There are quite a few items in the news this week which are worthy of discussion. Obviously the event with the greatest import for the future was the death of Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev. One can only hope that the views held by some Kremlin sr,ecialists regarding Yuri Anoropov's moderate P9Sition, vis a vis the United States, will be translated into action. This, h ow ev er , will m e an that some reciP.rocal activity will be requirea from this country. President Reagan said in his P.ress conference last Thursclay that "it takes · two to tango.

Photo: Don Wolfrom How would you feel if you had to take a six-hour night lab in order to graduate? Senior electrical enginee rin g majors could probably tell you, for one of their senior course requirements is E.E. 381 , Advanced Microelectronics Lab. This course has one hour of lecture and one six-hour lab per week. Surprisingly , after some early misgivings, the students in E.E. 381 say they -have come to en joy this course, despite the long hours in the lab . In Adv anced Microelectronics Lab, students learn about and actually perform the process to make transistors from silicon wafers. The methods used in the lab are very similar to those used in industry. In fact, one of the two professors in the lab, Vince Osadchy, works for RCA in MountainTop ,and does the same kind of work. The other instructor, Dr. Gar y Dolny , believes that people who pass this course could easi ly get jobs in industry if they choose. The laboratory itself is an impressive place. The first thing that catches one's eye as he walks in is the large furnace in one corner of the room. This device can heat the silicon wafers to thousands of de· grees, and gases can be added to change the characteristics of the sili - Virgin Vinyl It's Hard The Who Warner Bros. by Stephen Badman This band is old. The Who is old. The band has been making great rock for years and years. But, as bands seem to inevitably do , the members of The Who announced that this is the end of their gig. This occurs in the midst of. much speculation whether this decision is late or premature. Face Dances, the last album, di.d not receive good reviews. One writer for Rollin![ Stones said if that was any indication of The Who's direction, the next album should be entitled Who Cares . I think this criticism is too harsh because the album is good; but that is another article. This one deals with It's Hard, an album that sounds like it is coming from anything but a dying band. From the first song , this album is unmistakeably The Who. "Athena ," which has received the most airplay, is somewhat new in its sound musically, but the vocals are so familiar that the song could not be mistaken for anyone but The Who. The other songs seem to carry on this new music/ familiar vocal pattern. For instance, ''Dangerous'' is a song that does not sound like tl")e old Who at all. If one heard it for the first time without hearing Dal - trey ' s vocal, I think he would be hard pressed to tell what band was playing. It sounds like an 80s band. There are some songs that sound familiar though. On "Eminence Front, ' ' the instrumental intro is very much like the keyboard intro on ''Baba O 'Rielly.'' I do not think this is a fault because the song itself is not a copy of the classic. But , all through the al bum, hints of old Who songs are present. In "I've Known No Wars, ' ' a song that has the contemporary '80s sound, there are very subtle yet undeniable similarities to "Join Together With the Band.'' I think these hints of the past are mixed in nicely with the present. It is as if Townshend has taken the sounds that made the hits work and made new songs out of them. I am not sure why The Who are breaking up ; I assume it is because they each have personal projects ·to work, i. e. Townshend's solo albums and Daltrey 's film directing. I think that if they are breaking up because they feel the band has lost the ability to make good music, they are wrong. ft 's Hard is a strong rock album and from what I hear from people who attended the concerts, the band still has a great stage presence . Maybe The Who will reconsider their finale once they see the success of It 's Hard. It is apparent from the stage show and It 's Hard that The \\'ho have some long lived rock. con. The furnace, the most expensive piece of equipment in the lab, was donated last summer to the College by RCA in Mountain Top_. Another thing one notices in the lab is the air filtration system. Dol ney said these filters, called Hepa filters, remove dust particles from the air in the lab . The company that manufactures them guarantees that the air will have less than 1.00 particles of dust per cubic foot. Average room air has thousands of particles per cubic foot. The air in the lab must be this clean, because dust that gets on the silicon dur ing processing can affect the performance of the finished transistor. T he actual process steps necessary to make a transistor are rather complex, but can be briefly described as follows: first, allow one si de of a very thin, pure silicon wafer to oxidize; next , the oxidized side of this wafer is treated with a photo-sensitive chemical and the wafer is exposed to light through a screen which has the circuit process pattern that is to be produced on it. After a chemical process to · remove excess oxide, the wafer is heated and treated by gasf's to give it the desired electrical characteristics. Finally, the whole process is repeated to complete the circuit, and what results is a transistor. Some of the individual steps may take two hours or more to com · plete; hence, the need for a sixhour lab. There are 41 students in E.E. 381, which is divided into three sections: Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. Each section is broken down into groups of three or four. The members of a group work together to produce and test their transist<?rs. Their ~rades are based on a midterm and final exam plus a subjective evaluation of lab performance. Dolny is very enthusiastic about the Advanced Microelectronics Lab . He noted that the lab itself was "constantly improving" with a lot of improvements over the summer. Along with the new furnace, vinyl cei ling tiles and special paint were added to the lab to help cut down on dust contamination. The students claim that these improvements have helped the quality of the transistors . Dolny also mentioned that very few undergraduate engineers get to use this type of facilit y. The faculty won ' t be idle in the spring, he added, for the lab will be used·to test out ·new processing techniques plus other projects including an attempt to produce some solar cells. When asked how the students felt about the course, Dolny stated that they had fun with it. "They get to see something work every week," he said. "They get to see the process from back to front, and they have something neat at the end. 1n addition , they get to see t-he practical use for all the theory I taught them last spring in Solid State Devices," he added. The students themselves are also enthusiasti c about t he course . Steve Griffiths from the Thursday-night section stated that th e lab is "a highly industrial situation and great hands-on experience. " Bob Bruggeworth noted that Doln y and Osadchy seemed more like supervisors than professors. He also told of the competitive spirit that has risen between th e groups and the sections. The rivalry is especially keen between the electrical en gineers and the materials engineers who elected to take the course . Each group tries to produce better transistors than the oth er. Commenting on the midterm exam that had just been returned to the class , Frank Rowe said that it was the ''first test that reflected the course material." Of the lab itself. Don Wolfrom said that he likes it so much that he was going to do his senior project in the lab . Also, he and Bob Bruggeworth plan to put together a special presentation to go along with the lab lectures . . When asked about his overall impression of the lab, Ed Salley's immediate response was ''Great 1' ' Red Cross Blood Services Administers To 21 Counties by Don na Nitka The American Red Cross Blood Services, Northeastern Pen nsylvania Region , is a non-profit agency that collects, processes and distributes blood, donated by volun ~eers, throughout a 21 county region. To meet the total blood needs of the region, more than 350 units of blood must be collected every day. This is done through mobile units , such as the one at yesterday's Blood Donor Day, and donor stations. Donating blood is a relatively painless procedure that L1sually takes only six to eight minutes, First, you register . A drop of blood is then taken from your earlobe to test whether your hemoglobin is sufficient for blood donation. After th is, your temperature, pulse and blood pressure are taken. A series of health history questions are asked to insure that it is safe for you to donate and that your blood is safe for the recipient . Quring the process, less than a pint of- blood is taken . Your body replaces the fluid portion of the blood within 24 hours . The cells are replaced within two weeks. Anyone between the ages of 1 7 and 65 who is in good health and weighs more than 110_pounds is a potential donor. After the blood is collected, it is processed. Blood is comrsed of several elements, each o which performs a , specific fun ct ion in the body. These elements include red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and plasma.

Thanks, giving blood today! �Corison Finds Wilkes A Home by Doug Fahringer Dr. Cynthia Corison had never heard of Wilkes before the College's advertisement caught her eye in a speech/ commun ications newsletter earlier this year. The newsletter advertised an open position for a speech / communications professor at Wilkes and what interested her the most was that she had all the qualifications necessary for the position. From there on , it 's history. Now Corison is teaching speech and communications courses at Wilkes. Previously a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara, Corison traveled last May to WilkesBarre for an interview with the Language and Literature Department at the Colleg_e. Shortly thereafter, she received the job. Corison is originally from California and received her B.S. from Lewis & Clark College in Port land. Oregon. She then went on to earn her M .S. and Ph.D from the Uni versity pf Oregon in Eugene. As well as her qualifications , Corison was interested in Wilkes College because of the location . " I wanted a change in environ - ment, preferably somewhere on the East Coast," she said. Cori son commented t hat she also wanted a different "exposure" to the communications field and the location of Wilkes was perfect for this. Corison added that she preferred to teach at -a small school, like Wilkes, because , as she said, " Th ere's more contact between th e teacher and the student and th ere 's less pressure on the teacher with a smaller class .'' She emphasized that this pressure on the teacher detracts from the quality of teaching. Corison is an addition to a somewhat young communications program . She speculates that the program will improve with greater student interest and additional faculty. Corison said t hat she will teach courses that have never been , offered to communications st udents at Wilkes. Next semester she will teach Organizational Communication which she says, in addition to being one o; her favorite courses to teach , it is also a very beneficial course for the student. The course, stated Corison, focuses on th e th eories of communication and applies them to practical situations. Away From Home In all of her courses, Cori son tries to create enthusiasm among the students . She also prefers class discussions rather : han · lectures because sh L fee ls that the students learn more ' I-trough their own partici oation in 1 e class. In the fu .ure , Corison hopes to see more emphasis placed on the theory and organi zational courses that will be offered. "These types of courses will benefit the student more ·than courses such as Mass Media ,'' she stated. Although Corison admitted that th e Mass Media course is a popular one, she said that after college it is a "very difficult fi eld to get into .'' She referred to the small demand in the mass media field and mentioned that most students have to start at the very bottom once they get a job. " Students just aren 't as satisfi ed once they get into this area," she added. When asked about th e differences between her students in California and her students at Wilkes , she said that Wilkes students, in general, are ''younger acting ' '. That is , they appear to be more inquisitive and eager to learn. She mentioned that this attribute is definitely a "positive " one. "Generall y, the students in Cal ifo rni a are more sophisticated. They have their own expectations as to how they should be evaluated , '' Corison said. Although she sees the relationship between the students .and faculty at Wilkes as "formal ," she's impressed with the great concern that most faculty members have for their students . "It's an odd fed ing to be called 'Dr. Corison ,' " she said, "At UCSB , most students called me ' Cindy.' " Corison doesn ' t mind being called ' Cindy ,' but she does, however , expect students to view her as their professor and not as a fellow student. When asked if her yo ung appearance has ever confused people as to her position here at Wilkes, she replied , " Yes ." She mentioned th at it ' s sometimes frustrating to still be assumed as being a student. Corison has adjusted quickly to her new life here at Wilkes College. ''It was an easier transition than I thought because the people were very frienclly," she said. The mountains also remind her of Oregon, so, for Cindy Corison, Wilkes is like a home away from home. It' s the true story of a man , first ridiculed and rejected then applauded by society. It's the story of one man 's attempt to overcome his ph ysical deformities. It 's The Elephant Man and it will be presented this weekend in the CPA. The Elephant Man is based on th e real life story of John Merrick , ,a man whose body was hideously deformed . At first , Merrick was -exhibited in a freak show. Later , befriended by Treves , a surgeon, he finds a home and is introduced into London 's high scoiety. According to Jay Siegfried, the visualize it for themselves. Siegfried stated that the play is "challenging to clirect." He add,ed that it gives him the opportunity to do some close character work with the actors . Also , since the play is based on a true incident, the production company was . able to research their characters and obtain some background information on Victorian society.

It examines Merrick's growing contentment as he is drawn into society and Treves ''psychological deterioration'' as he becomes discontented and begins to question himself and society.

Albright ranked third in defense nationally held the Colonels to 152 yards in total offense, with only 11 corning on the ground. Behind the hard running of tailback Chris Arnout, the Lions scored on their first possession. Albright used three plays in the 54yard 14-play drive, Arnout over right tackle, Arnout over left tackle and Arnout around end . The junior standout carried the ball 13 straight times before reserve Quarterback Bob Taggart plunged over from the one. Later in the first quarter;.the Lions raised the score to 10-0 on a· 27 yard field goal by John Mid . The Colonels lone score came on a 21-yard field goal ~y Sam Graziano early in the second stanza. Wilkes went into the locker room at half time trailing 10-3. The Lions padded their lead in the third quarter on a 14-yard run by Fullback Sam Hardinger. Albright gained 214 yards on 67 carries while completing 5 passes for 74 . The Lions finished the scoring in the fourth period on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Taggart to tight end Mark Holaway. Playing before some 100 fans at Ralston 'Field, nine Wilkes seniors donned t~e blue and gQld for the last time.

For the first time in a long while, the Colonels will ha ve a predominantly freshman team. Head Coach Jim Atherton is entering his second season as the Colonel mentor. Last year his team compiled a 13-10 record, and that team was a team of mostly veteran players. There were such players as Paul Scaliti, Kevin "J.J."

The successful blending of some experienced players with a group of talented freshmen will determine the ladies' fate this season. Facing a difficult schedule, Head Coach Nancy Roberts and her assistant Mary Jo Hromchak will be taking things one game at a time. The action begins this weekend with a trip to Indiana, PA, for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Toumament . The trip will be both a learning experience and a chance for the team to get acquainted. The other teams in the Tournament will all be from Division II, so the Lady Colonels will get a taste of higher level competition. In be~een games they will be able to watch and learn. There are four returning letterwinners from last year's squad , and this group is headed by this year's co-captains Kim Smith and Karen Bove.

Atherton plans to· start a freshman in the center position, and right now there is no back-up. This is perhaps his major concern . Because of this shortcoming, the Colonels will use their soeed and quickness to run a controlled fast break offense. However, the success of this is dependent upon the presence of strong rebounding. Atherton plans to start three freshmen this year , but he pointed out that the success of the team will not depend mainly upon those who start . The success will hinge upon those who get the majority of time on the court . This infers that the head coach plans to freely use his bench. It will be important that the team avoid the making of freshman mistakes . The first-year members of the 1982-83 Colonels are: Jim Rodway, Mark Aguilar , Dave Zapo· tocky, Jim Laputka, John O'Boyle, Dan Piavis, John Williams, Rich Sharri. Ken Yakobitis . and Tom Allardyce. There are all •totale<l It is extremely difficult to predict · the potential performance of any team , let alone one dominated by freshmen players, so Atherton is not making any predictions as to a number of victories this season . Atherton will be depending upon his upperclassmen for leadership this season, and much of this burden will fall upon the shoulders of senior captain an d poi nt guard Greg Hychko. Hychko is a Wyoming Valley product, and his court trademarks over- the past three seasons have been hustle and aggressive defense. Last season, he developed into one of the finest. defensive and point guards in the Middle Atlantic Con ference. . In addition, he is a fierce com pet· itor. These attributes earned Greg the basketball team's 'Hustling Colonel Award' last year. Not content to sit on his laurels, Greg underwent an extensive and intensive conditioning program over the summer vacation. He in creased his leg strength and lost soine ·weight. The toughness will still be there , but there will also be increased quickness and agility in this his final year. The other upperclassmen on this year's team are Rick Sheaffer, a ju'1ior, and John Grochowski , a sen id·. Both these players saw plenty of playing time last season , so their experience will be an asset to this year's yo ung team . The strength of the team , according to Atherton , is hustle and a good attitude,-and he cites these as the two intangible qualities which make a great team . by Ellen Van Riper g8 g· ~ ~ S fcnsive Player. Last season, Smith Averaged 17 points and 15.8 rebounds per game . She was the second leading scorer on the team, and her rebounding average was good for second on the NCAA Division III list . In addition, she set records for most rebounds in a game (21) and in a season (285 ). At the end of last year, Kim -was honored as The Beacon Female Athlete of the Year for 1982 . Karen Bove is a 5-9 forward from Berwick, PA, and last year she was the third leading scorer with 11 per game and the second leading rebounder with nine per contest. Thetopscorerwitha20.5average was sophomore guard Charlene Hurst. A graduate of Bishop Hoban High School, Hurst was voted as the team's Most Valuable Offensive Player last season. She also led the team with 62 steals for the season . Charlene is an all-around player, and last year as a freshman she was honored as a member of the AllMiddle Atlantic Conference team. The top freshmen recruits are Donna Martin , Michalene Chernicavage, and Michelle Jawoiski. Martin is a 5-6 guard from Nanticoke Area High School. Donna was chosen as a three-time all star and last year averaged 18.5 points per game and seven assists . She was honored as The Times Leader Wyoming Valley outstanding girl 's basketball player. Chernicavage is also a graduate of Nanticoke Area, and she is a 6-1 forward-center. Last year she averaged 10 points and 14 rebounds per game for a team which went to the District 2 finals. She is also an excellent shot blocker. Jawioski is a_graduate of Mt. Pocono , and was the team's Most Valuable Player last year. She is a 5-7 guard-forward , and in her senior year averaged 18.5 points and 12 rebounds per game. All three will be expected to make I major contributions to the team. This year the Lady Colonels will be compensating for an overall lack of height by using their speed and quickness on the fast break. 'the other returning letterwinner is 5-5 sophomore guard Lori Cashour from Baltimore, MD. Last year she led the team in assists and set records for most in a game (12) and for most in a season (112).

Senior Diane Hall, a co-captain of the 1982 field hockey team, and her teammates, junior Karen Johnson and sophomore Debbie Cometa, spent last weekend at the Mideast Sectionals in Pittsburgh. These· three qualified for this competition at the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament the previous weekend. Diane Hall There were 12 teams competing at the Sectionals: Buffalo, Central Pennsylvania (I & II), Finger Lakes (I & II), Lancashire (I & II), Pittsburgh (I & II), and Susquehanna (I, 11, & lll), and approximately 65-70 players were competing for 3 5 spots on the team that would represent the Mideast at the National Tournament. By the end of the competition, Hall had been selected to the Mideast III Sectional T earn and had qualified for the USFHA (United States Field Hockey Association) National Sectional Tournament which will be held in Orlando. Diane is only the third player in Wilkes field hockey histor_y to achieve this distinction . In 19 78 Jerry Ann Smith and Pam Synder were selected to the Mideast III Team; and in 1979 these two were chosen to the Mideast II Team. Pam Snyder repeated her Mideast II sele0tion in 1980. Head Coach Gay Meyers believes that this is a great way for Diane to end her career at Wilkesand what a career it has heen' Diane will be leaving Wilkes with the distinction of holding the career mark for goals scored (47) and most total points or goals and assists (5 6). The previous career record . for goals had been 42, and it was set by Penny Bianconi (1973 -76) . The ex-holder of the career point total was Jerry Ann Smith (197679 ) with 24 goals and 31 assists for 5 5 total points. As a freshman in 1979 , Diane tallied 1 5 goals and dished out eight assists , and as a sophomore, she had nine and three. In 1981 Diane netted ten goals and passed off for three assists, and this year she had 13 goals and five assists. All totaled, she ha~ 4 7 goals and 19 assists for her career. Said Coach Meyers , Diane has "done a fine job for- Wilkes Col lege," and added that she has always worked hard and deserves the National recognition. At the Nationals in Florida, there will be 11 sections of the country represented, and selected . teams will play for a national sec- · tional title. Diane will have the opportunity to play with and against some of the best individual players in the country. Reese has been pleased with the hard work and the good attitudes of his wrestlers, but he is concerned about a lack of numbers . There are only 25, so the team will have to stay healthy in order to challenge the top · national teams . This year's squad will be led by senior co-captains Pete Creamer and Lenny Nelson , wh_o are both experienced veterans. Last seaspn, Creamer, a native of Bellmore, NY, wrestled at 177 and .compiled an overall record of 19-7. This year he will probably wrestle at 190. At the end of last season, Lenny Nelson went to the NCAA championships at Iowa State arid came back to Wilkes as an All-American . Before this, he earned a second place finish at the EIWA championships. He had a marvelous season with an overall record of 23-4-1. His performance earned him the Athletic Department Male Athlete of the Year Award for 1982 . A native of Richland, NJ, Lenny is expected to once again wrestle at 142. Another returning top wrestler is senior Mark Popple of Wilkes-Barre. Mark had a sensational season with a 27-4 overall record and a third-place finish at the EIWA championships. He set a school record with 19 consecutive dual meet victories, and he missed All-American honors by a single point. He was honored by The Beacon as the 1982 Male Athlete of the Year.· Mark will most likely wrestle again at 150 for his senior year. Senior Kris Rowlette will be returning to his spot at 118, and he is also coming-off an excellent season. A native of Nashua, NH, Kris compiled a re ord of 19-6 and placed second at the EIWS . He also travelled to the NCAA championship, but he was eliminated in the early competition. PETE CREAMER IN ACTION. Pete is the other co-capta-i91fof the 1982-83 season. The other returning lettermen are: senior Mark Troutman (158, 1981-82, 15-8-1) from Toms River, NJ; seniorJimJohnson (168, 198182, 4-2) form Dillsburg, PA; junior Kurt Rowlette (134, 1981 -82, 21 -7) from Nashua, NH; junior Mark Correll (177, 1981-82, 12-6-l)fromEaston, PA; junior Doug Billig (126, 1981-82, 6-6) from Allentown, PA; junior Doug Collina (134, 1981-82 , 4-0) from Easton, PA ; junior Mike Garvin (177, 1981-82, 5-5) from Paulsboro, NJ; and sophomore Jim Mulligan (167, 1981-82, 16-7-2) from Palisades, NY. Rounding out the roster are: sophomore Kevin Stanley ( 118, 1981-82, 1-4) from Baltimore, MD; sophomore Ron Bonnani (126, 1981-82, 112) from Boonton, NJ; sophomore Bob Nagle (142) from Jersey Shore, PA ; freshman Marc Sodano (118) from Doylestown, PA; freshman Steve Clark (126) from Doylestown, PA; freshman Gary Sanchez (134) from Mahanoy City,., PA; freshman Steve Karas (134) from Tappan Zee, NY; freshman Tom Jamicky (158) from Flemington, NJ; freshman Brian Mills (158) from Randolphy, MA; freshman Bill Hordendorf (167) from Reading, PA; freshman Paul · Wysocki, (190) from Danville, PA; freshman Frank Bifulco (HVT) from Bayshore, NY; freshman Jerry Scaringe (150) from Tappan Zee , NY; and freshman Jim McFadden ( 142) from Doylestown, PA . Coach Reese is entering his 30th season as the Colonel Head Coach, and h~ believes that this year's group of freshman is one of the best he has ever had at Wilkes. He believes that they will wrestle a lot, for it is a long season. The Colonels will be tested early as they face Lehigh (at home on December 1) and Navy (away on December 3) which are both ranked in the national top 15. Hopefully, it will be a tou~h start to a·great season . --=---_~....-..-=cc ~CO""....-....-~-.:icooo,,-.,.o""....-.A)Cr~~................

"America's Energy is MINDPOWER " is the theme for the annual Wilkes fundraising cam paign. According to Dr. Thomas F. Kelly, dean of external affairs, the MINDPOWER program was de signed by the Council of Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). This council is a national organization composed of college and university administrators from 1 across the United States an~ Canada . CASE is involved in such areas as public and government relations. and is concerned with "giving public support an d public informa tion." Nationally, Kelly explained, the MINDPOWER program is saying "support higher education." '' We at Wilkes are in existence to help students attain mindpower,'' he said. ''We have adapted that theme to providing scholarships.'' Kelly said normally a new theme is developed for each campaign. He explained that this theme is being CHECK OUT THE SCOREBOARD. Last Saturday at Ralston Field the Colonel gridders trounced the FDU-Madison Devils 45-6 to snap a two-year losing streak. SEE STORY ON PAGE 16 PHOTO: Stephen Thomas re -used for three major reasous: (I) the campaign did well last year, (2) CASE is continuing with its national campaign and (3) Wilkes was the recipient of a (national) Citation A ward for the best use of the MINDPOWER theme in campaign ing. Kelly noted that the 50th Anniversary of Wilkes is being incorporated into this year's MINDPOWER theme. Contributions are being solicited on the basis that Wilkes has developed for the first 50 years of existence, and help is needed in order for development to continue. In addition to scholarships, money raised in the campaign is · used for general operations of the college. For example, an engineering graduate may request his donation be nsed to purchase equipment for the Engineering Department. Also , some alumni have endowed the school, and may present a gift to the endowment. "We do honor a donor's wishes," Kelly stressed. The goal set for the 1983 cam paign is. $400 thousand. He ex. plamed that this.figure is reached by examining amounts raised in previous years in terms of current needs . He added that the records of other area campaigns such as the United Way campaign are analyzed. Studies are also made to estimate the amount that alumni will contribute. The theme and campaign is developed as a ''team effort.'' While Kelly is in charge of all fundraising and public relations for the institution, Dr. James Aikman, director of development, runs the campaign. Randy Xenakis, director of public relations, develops the · publications and Richard Raspen , director of alumni relations, is in charge of alumni fundraisers . These gentlemen also work closely with the Board of Trustees and with President Robert Capin. In add ition to school officials, an alumnus or friend of The College serves as the campaign chairman. Frear H. Scovell, senior executive vice - president of Fir s t East e rn Bank. ha~ been named chairman of this year's campaign. As chairman, Scovell's responsi bilities include : being volunteer spokesman for the campaign, working with President Capin in recruiting a vice-chairman and division leaders for the campaign and providing overall leadership from now through April, which is the end of the campaign. While the staff does th e organizing and detail work, about 250 · volunteers, including students and alumni, do the actual solicitation. These persons each visit three to seven prospects and ask for gifts and pledges. Approximately 2000 friends of the college in the Wyoming Valley, with an additional 13,000 alumni and certai n corporations and foundations, are solicited. '' It is a major effort and it is really a year-long effort," Kelly pointed out. "The public effort is in the spring, but the work that comes to pull off this effort is really yearlong.'' In general, Kelly stressed that the real reason for the campaign is to provide the school with assistance for capable students who are here at Wilkes.

Dave Talenti reported the Financial Aid Committee passed two motion s, the first on e regarding the federal grants given by W il kes College. Talent i stated the federal government wanted t he stan da rds for thei r grants to be reviewed and updated along with t heCollege's, and t hat the com mittee passed a motion t hat t he standards held by the College are adequate. · The second mot i.on regarded the idea of revoking a student's college aid for a semester as a disciplinary action. Talenti reported that the committee passed a motion that aid could be revoked by the Dean's Council for repeated offenses. Ralph Pringle, reporting for the Student Life Committee, introduced their guest speaker, Paul Adams, housing director. The topic was on the relationship between alcohol and drug abuse and vandalism. Adams reported that vandalism is less than other years, but it is still present. Dan Talenti and Cindy Bonham, who attended the faculty meetings to represent the student view on testing during the last week of classes, stated that Dr. Turoczi of the Biology Depoartment, wanteq to amend the proposal to exclude laboratory practicals from the test policy. His amendment was defeated by the faculty and then the entire proposal of no. tests was defeated. As it stands, testing is now allowed in the last week of classes. Talenti reported t hat there is nothing to prevent SG from resubm itting the proposal for the next faculty meeting. According to him, only half of the faculty was present at the last meeting. Once again, the topic of how to elect a Cinderella an d Prince Charmi ng was di sc ussed . Last week , it had been decided and announ ced that the co uple would be elected much the same way as Homecom in g King and Queen . . Apparently , after furth er discussion , those in charge , changed t heir m inds. Shelly U rban announced t hat the committee is open to suggestions. Urban went on to state t hat th e reason fo r not h av ing the election is that it is too m uch like a popularity contest. Opi n ion leaned toward picking the names of people attending the ball out of a h at.

Nehring reported that the process of accreditation is "very expensive" an d involves a complicated process including a written selfstudy. The National League of Nurses, along with accreditation. were , until last year, responsible' for the State Board exams. They also write the NLN tests that Wilkes nursing st udents take after each clinical experien ce such as obstetrics or pediatrics. When questioned about how Wilkes students do on these tests as compared to st udent s at other schools . Nehring stated, ''Scores and percentages on these tests are meaningless.

When questioned as to whether or not there would he ,1 pay increase next year, Capin empha~ized that it is one of his ''main goals.'' F a·c u It y _response to the announcement has varied from up· set to resigned . In a letter he sent I to the faculty , Dr. Fred Bellas of · the Physics Department stated that he wonders why the administration didn't see this coming: '' . . . at the faculty meeting on February 11, 1982 . . . I asked the President: had he been addressing the problem of the decline in enrollment at Wilkes College ... his reply: There is no enrollment problem at this col)ege since our enrollment had leveled off and stabilized. Bellas went on to say that he feels there should be some form of col-· lective bargaining situation between faculty and administration at this school. Dr. Virginia Nehring, head of the Nursing Department, stated that though she is disappointed , she un derstands that ''things are tough everywhere and all schools must tighten their belts." Y~t another faculty member questioned what will be done next year: "If they have done every thing possible this year, and en rollment is expected to fall more, how can the ,situation improve without staff cuts or higher tuit ion?

Seniors Chris Lonstrup and Jacqueline Brocca coordinated and directed the plays as part of their fu lfillment of the requirements for Wilkes theatre arts majors. Lonstrup chose to direct Russian playwright Anton Chekhov's The Boor, a comedy about a retired army officer who collects debts from a widow. The characters were played by Rebecca Schmitt. Steve Di Rocco and Gene Wachowski . Sarah Law was the assistant director and Thom Labashosky was in charge of costumes.

According to Dr. Les Turoczi, chairman of the Biology Department, the idea for this change in pre-registration procedure was presented by students during Bio Dialogue Day. He stated that students were concerned about not knowing what their chances of getting into an upper-level class were if the class was closed. The students presented this system as an alternative. The procedure was accepted exactly as it was proposed by the students. Problems with pre-registering for upper level classes arise due to the limited number of slots for each class . Upper level courses with labs are limited to 24 students because of limited lab materi~ls such as microscopes. Some lecture courses, however, can be opened to more than 24 students. The new system of preregistration was not going to be instituted until the spring. During the biology faculty retreat on October 23 and 24, it was decided that the new procedure would be incorporated for fall registration as sort of a trial run . Turoczi noted that the biology instructors feel that the new system is valuable and that, in the long run, it will come to benefit both students and faculty. ------~~~~~\\_________________!

Therefore, I maintain , , after careful observation and prolonged exposure to the phenomenon in question, the following assertion : someone is messing with Time at Wilkes College. And after reading a UPI article by Joanne Degnan (Citizen's Voice, 9 November, 1982, p. 15), I know who it is. The New Jersey Devil, who supposedly makes its home in the Pine ijarrens of southern New Jersey, has migrated to WilkesBarre--I' d place bets on it. . For those who may be unfamiliar with the New Jersey Devil, here is a description: the monster, according to legend, has "a forked tail, the body of a kangaroo, the head of a dog, the face of a horse, the wings of a bat, and the feet of a pig. " If the portrait seems incredible, just remember all the blind dates you've ever had in your life combined into one being, and perhaps the picture will become clearer. D~gnan reports that the monster was last sited.in January, 1909, and has been spotted by thousands of people in southern New Jerseyand eastern Pennsylvania. It had created such panic that stores and factories were closed and armed drivers rode the trolleys to guard against an air attack. Devil hunts are still conducted today, both seriously and in fun, in New Jersey parklands. And it is this fiendish devil that I am sure has swept into Wilkes College, and is presently adding to his pranks the distortion of time. Looking back to the beginning of the semester, I observe it has been at least three hundred years since classes started in August . Everyone was young then, full of life, eager to learn, suntanned and thin and optimistic about the future. Three hundred years later-, in November, the faces have grown pale; enthusiasm has been replaced by the hysteria bred of English paper deadlines and computer program infinite loops. Once-taut muscles, after enduring hours of cramped study positions, have resignedly decided to do wet linguini imitations. Eons have been spent mired in philosophy readings, millenia spent waiting in cafeteria lines for hundreds of thousands of Morning Muffins, centuries upon centuries spent rationalizing excuses to skip Beginners' Swimmingor so it seems. The New Jersey Devil has indeed been busy. But this same sprite who is so mischeviously protracting the past is also telescoping the future. Every paper that can be conceived by human thought seems to have been assigned today and should be completed tomorrow. The semester itself will end, it seems, the day after; like everyone else, I will meet the final day unprepared, my feet submerged in a bog of undigested facts about John Stuart Mill , my knees bruised from grovelling to parking lot security guards, my hands clenched tightly around hundreds of withdrawal slips, my eyes staring frantically at the billions of final exam questions (clad in Nazi uniforms) that march toward me in the distance. The {uture is ominously hovering near, the past is nebulous and untouchable , and the present is simply interminable. As far as I'm concerned, the New Jersey Devil could have no better subject on which to wreak havoc than a Wilkes student who has made it to November .

I was never that interested in t hrow ing rolls of toilet paper at som eone and then flushing them down the toilet; maybe I'm just fickl e. When the shavin g cream fight broke out in the bathroom, I left the dorm entirely. When i return ed , one of the major participant's in the night's festivi t ies was com plainin g loudly that he was paying ei _g ht thousand dollars to go to thi s __ ___ _-ing school and everythini.: at it was "crappy." Maybe I 'm naive, but something bothered me about this statement. H e had just helped make a m ess of the bathroom and as this was th e day it h ad been clea ned, it wou ld be another day and a half until it would be cleaned again. Somehow , his logic seems not ' 'kosher.'' Personall y, I don't care what people ca re of this school. Some wi ll always li ke it: others will alwav, hate it. However in this casf'. t lw , student had on lv himself to hla111, ·. \\'hat bothers ine ts that tlw 1t·,1 people who messed up the bathroom aren ·1 the on ly ones who use it. A friend of mi ne came up once, tonk nne look at the dorm (all of it) and asked me how I could live here. Once again , maybe I'm naive, hut I though I left childish behavior behind when I cam e to college . If som eone wants to mak e a mess, let him do it in his own room where only he and his roomm ate have to live in it. I said chi ldish , and I m ea nt it. It seems that when m any students get away from "mother" (and not just fres hmen), they go crazy. Once my roomm ate and I had tests early Friday morning. We decided to be mundane abo ut it and get a good night ·s sleep. Yes, t hat's right , we were in bed at 11 :30 p.m. In er.e dible as it seems , we figu red that if we were rested, we might do oka y on the tests. Well, at midnight the "childre n ' s hour" began (mo re li ke two or th ree hours actuall y). Yelling and screammg an d stereos filled the halls. Oh wait , I can't forget the wrestling.

Now ·we h ave two bizarre personalities heavil y active in Virginia and nation al politics : Jerry Falwell and the Senator-elect, Paul Trible. The form er I have been denoun cing since his appearance on the political sce ne; the latter I wi ll begin apologizing for now. . Jerry Falwell is from that little bu rg in the V irgin ia "bible belt " called Lynchburg. It is a charmin g little town except for the stench of the factories which wafts its way over the hills upon which the city was built. Perhaps it is this particularl y vile odor , which I first experi enced as a high school athlete at various contests in Lvnchburg; which accounts for Falwell ' s lun acy. The smell would certainly ~ enough to drive a borderline psych otic over the edge. It is from this unique bailwick that Falwell attempts to regulate t he mores, both soc ial and political, of the rest of the ('.lUntry. Ten years ago , Fal well wo uld have gotten no more than a chuckle from the heathen of th;s land . In the past two years, though, Falwell has emergerl as a potent political force in the country. Falwell. combined with the "New Right" an<l NCPAC, has attempted to turn the rest of us to the "paths of righteousn,·s~ · · prayer in schools. tax cuts for tho,e parents who send their children to private, mostly segregated. schools, repressive legislation against homo sexuals (pronounced ''homsex ules" by real Bihle he I t ers) and a further build up of the nuclear forces of this country Let's face it, the man's not all there. He s also not particularly ethical. In recent campaigns, Ole Jer' has sent out his usual newsletter proclaiming Christian virtues, the true way to salvation, and whom to vote for-all while asking for any contributions that the reader m ay fin d it in his heart to be able to give . For this, a group has filed suit in Federal Court to have the Reven:nd Falwell's religious tax·-exem pt status revoked. I pray that the plaintiffs win their case. Falwell's influence may be on the wane however . In th e recent elect - ion, he was only able to influence on e election. Sa1ly, that was the senatorial race in Virginia. The r cipient of his political benificerice was none other than Paul Trible. Trible came out of the gate fast. This past weekend , Trible was quizzed on his politics and I was immediately embarrassed. Trible proclaimed · that the $1,600,000, 000,000 Reagan wants to spend on defense was not enough- he wants more! Trible successfully tap danc ed around the issue of the Social Securi ty system's solvency; rejected any federal jobs program ; and claimed that Virginians "clearly" want to stay on the course. I suppose that he had to do this, having begged Jerry Falwell for a letter of support in the 'final weeks of the campaign . An additional explanation is that Virginia is basically recession -proof. Unemployment is nowhere near the national figure and there is an enormous amount of defense-related industry in Virginia-i ncluding the shipbuilding indust ry in Trible's hometown . His position s are more befitting a m em ber of t he House of Representative~ wh ere one is supposed to represent t he vested interest-~ of th e district. l thought the Senate was supposed to represent the interests of the country. Oh well. I would like to warn readers, though. Beware of fundamentalist preachers- who preach a loving Christ in conjunction with an Old Testament hell's-fire, dam nation God-while trying to get your money for political campaigns. In addition, beware of Senators from the Norfolk-Newport News shipbuilding area bearing the gifts of a higher defense budget. Oh, I apologize.

Henry Ford Jazz music , called the only true ·\ merican art form, has been reerberat ing through the region this ,ear, than ks to the efforts of the .Vilkes College Music Department and the Sordoni Art Foundation. Behind the smooth sounds emanating from the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts, is Boh Wilber, a nationally known jazz performer and teacher. The 54 -year-old Wilber, who began performing as a teenager, has been named musician-in -resi rJence at \\Tilkes, under a program ,ponsored by the Sordoni Founda tion. Wilber's appearance in the area will be aimed at introducing Wilkes students to the creative forms of jazz music. "l want to get the students to improvise," said Wilber during a recent interview. Beyond his work with college students, Wilber will also use his time in the area, working with high school band directors, professional jazz musicians and delivering a series of 11 public lectures on the history of jazz. Wilber will lecture on Tuesday. November 16 , at 7 :.'30 p.m. in Room 41 of Darte H all.

''The students here don't have a know -itall attitude,'' he said. Wilber said he intends to experiment with the music students at Wilkes in the methodology of introduci ng them to the world of jazz. Instead of striving for a polished performance by a group, Wil ber sai d he will be working with students individually, to teach them to be creative with their music. "I want them to learn the essence of music, I don' t want to make them musical robots. '' Bemoaning the decline of the popularity of jazz in recent years, Wilber said students today have grown up on a steady diet of rock music. ''Jazz is a new experience for them.' ' ''My goal is tq develop a group of musicians who can express themselves musically," said Wilber. Jerome W.

If you'd like to participate in the "Great American Smokeout" but aren't sure how to give up smoking, here are a few suggestions to help you kick the habit . A positive attitudr. is a must for those who wish to quit smoking. Negative thoughts, such as how difficult it might be, will deter you from wanting to quit. To avoid these negative thoughts, generate a list of the reasons why you want to quit smoking and consult it several times a day and before going to bed . This will reinforce the positive reasons why you want to stop smoking. Involve someone else in your pro· ject. Ask a friend to quit with you or bet him that you can quit smoking by a certain day . It's always easier to accomplish something when· you have an incentive. There are several ways to actually quit smoking. Most involve reducing the number of cigarettes you smoke each day until you've elim inated them completely. One way to cut down on the number of cigarettes you smoke is to change to a brand of cigarettes that you dislike . Another is to switch to a brand that is lower in tar and nicotine. This will help lessen your physical dependence on cigarettes. Whatever you do, try not to smoke more than two packs of the same brand in a row. Other methods of reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily include smoking only half of each cigarette , limiting yourself to a certain number of cigarettes each day and not carrying cigarettes with you, making them difficult to get to. Smoking under unpleasant circumstances will also help you cut down . On the day you plan to quit smoking , eliminate anything that may serve as· a temptation. Throw away all of your cigarettes and hide your ashtrays. Keep busy so you won't have time to think about smoking - take a walk, exercise, or get caught up on your schoolwork . You may even want to celebrate your decision to quit smoking. The first few days after quitting are usually the most difficult, due to the nicotine that is present in your system. To avoid a setback, spend as much of your free time as possible in places where smoking is prohibited . Substitute a glass of water or juice, a piece of fruit or a stick of gum for the cigarette you're craving. Change your habits to make smoking vir- tually impossible . If the fear of gaining stopping you from qui · sider this: most of those smoking do not gain wi about one-third of those gain weight; one-rhird their same weight. One weight .

Imprinting is not unusual in cases like Tex's, but here it presented a definite problem. Her refusal to recognize other whoopers as her own kind made the selection of a mate difficult indeed. Archibald hypothesized that a human imitation of the whooping crane's courtship dance might induce ovulation in Tex, allowing her to be bred by artificial insemination . So they danced. Each year during mating season, for up to six hours a day, Archibald and several others visited Tex's pen and performed what proved to be an excellent imitation of the male whooping crane's courtship dance. Tex became partial to Archibald and chose him as her surrogate spouse, sometimes acting violently when her territory - Archibald - was approached. During this year's mating season (April 1 to May 18) Tex and Archibald became an "item" . From 5 a.m. to8:30p.m . daily, the unlikely couple took walks, rested, - and danced.

Learning how to furnish Students arriving at their room s in Embry-Riddl e Aeronautical U. 's Ill'\\. dormitory last fall found ... nothing. The desks, dressers and beds that normally occupy a dorm room weren't included in this residence hall - not for Jack of funding, but as an experiment in student development. "Instead of setting up social events, like mixers, we wanted to tailor an environment that requires st udents to develop," said Stephen Whitmer, director of housing. Hence, arriving roommates immediately began working on their mutual problem: The need to buy, rent, build or oorrow basic furniture. The experiment proved successful beyond expectations. Embry Riddle housingpfficals provided residents with a list of alternatives. in · eluding the names of rental companies and wholesale outlets, and offered physical plant assistance in helping students to build their own furni ture. Many students chose the latter option, designing and building furniture that exactly suited their needs. "The rooms are ranged from the most basic and spartan to the Taj Mahal,'' said Whitmer. More im portantly, the joint efforts drew roommates together more quickly, helped students develop self esteem and increased pride in the living area, and significantly reduced vandalism. Along the way, the imiversity saved $243,000 in furniture expenses, and lowered room rates for the un furnished dorm by $30 a semester. Embry-Riddle may convert other residence hall space to unfurnished status, as economic situations dictate, said Whitmer. He advises anv school wanting to implement the plan to "make sure they tell students and parents exactly what to expect.'' Some parents , particularly those of freshmen students , initially balked at the plan , Whitmer admitted. "We explained that finding furniture is something every adult is going to face at some point," he said. "¥.'hy not now?" The dorm residents apparently agree .

Reviews Proposals by John Finn For the next several months, faculty and students will be examining and evaluating proposals put forth by the Curriculum Review Committee concerning core require ments. Although the proposals co uld be better characterized as adjustments than as major revisions or changes, some present potential problems for several academic departments on campus. The Curriculum Review Committee, which includes faculty, ad ministration and students, began work last May and labored through the summer in order to have a sound proposal for the fall semester. One faculty member has eloquently termed the effort a ' ' thinly veiled exercise in academic politics, , (largely devoid of either principle· or high purpose)." However, the months of sincere and dedicated work of several faculty members would seem to contradict this assumpt ion. At the heart of this review is an attempt to define the nat ure and purpose of a liberal education, and Wilkes is not alone in this task. Last April, the Association ot American Colleges published the findings of their survey of 272 colleges and universities that were conducting reviews of their curriculum . fhe survey concluded that · 'there is a national revival of general education," and that "favorable attitudes, particularly on the part of faculty members and ad- ministrators, undergird a number of specific program changes. These curricular changes include a large proportion of required general education courses, additional structure with less student choice, more liberal arts subject matter , more attention to basic and advanced skills, and a series of qualitative changes consistent with general education purposes .'' The Review Committee's first full document, issued June 24., recommended the following core structure: I.a. Continue to require English 101 and 102; b. require writing in all core courses; c. adopt a system of referral for students with writing problems; d. develop a program of proficiency testing to assure competency in writing before graduation. II. Reduce the physical education requirement from four to two semesters. III. Require six semester hours in the fine and performing arts, two , of the following courses: Art 101, 1\1.usic 101 and Theatre 101. IV . Require both English 151 152, and History 101 -102 sequenl es. V. Require a six credit hour Sl' quence in Philosophy: Philosphy 101 -102 (with substantial units in logic and ethics and some considera tion of Eastern Philosophy). VI Drop Foreign Languages from the core; encourage departments to require foreign languages. VII. Require nine-credit hours in the life and physical sciences. or three of the following four courses : Biology 101, Environmental Science 10 l. Pn ysica l Science 101, and Chemistry 101; require one cou rse in mathematics. This recommendation requ ires . Biology 101 102, Physi cal Science 101-102, and Chemistry 101 -102 be reduced to si ngle three credit courses. VIII.

Thomas Edison invented the first legislative voting machine in 1868. Election voting machines developed more slowly. The first practical voting machine used in an actual election was put into service in Lockport , New York in 1892. Manufacture and distribution of voting machines has continued steadily since that time. The machines are ir. use in more than threefourths of the states. Many states now require the use of voting machines in all elections, including primaries. The United States was the first country to conduct elections by machine. Several other countries began using voting machines in the 1960 's. Still other countries are engaged in research on their use. PREGNANT? NEED HELP?

He stated that America's economy will •not improve bec-au,;e we are not improving our. capital resources; we art! not updating ot1r means of production. Another reason given ·the econ omy's "bleak future" is' the defi cit budget America is working with. Pinola explained that the government is using a large portion of its capital to pay off the interest on the national deficit while the deficit itself grows larger every year. Pinola also blamed the government for heing too lenient on import and l'xport tariffs. H e reported that the Japanese government has very high tariffs and strongly encourages it's citizens to buy Japanese goods. Another point made by Pinola was that the American economic situation cannot improve until communication between la/, management improves.

The Wilkes players retained •t heir composure in spite of bei ng physically battered by the slightly outskilled King's side . All was going well for the Colonels until a defensive mistake knotted the score at one goal apiece. As a King 's forward sent low, floating ball into the Wilkes goalmouth, freshman Fullback Chris Fox attempted to nudge the ball into his own net for a Monarch goal. \\Tith three minutes remaining in the game , Fox had a chance to redeem himself when a Wilkes player was found near m idfield. Fox sent a beaut iful ball from a rest art into the M on arch penalt y area which resulted in a frantic scramble by the Colonels to score and King's trying to clear the ball out of dange r.

Th e Colonel cross country team went to the Middle Atlantic Con feren ce Championships last Saturday at Lebanon Valley College with the goal of outrunning King 's, Albright , and Delaware V alley . D elaware Valley finished eigh t h (244), Wilkes en ded up eleven! h (326), A lbrigh t t welft h (336), and King's thirteent h (340). Before the meet, Coach Bart Bellairs took a realistic approach and knew th at his team would not finish in the top five. He set the aforementioned goals. All in all, he was very pleased with the team's performance in what he called the "most important meet of the year.'' In his mind it ranks ahead of even the Regionals which his team will compete in this weekend on the same course at Lebanon Valley. Th e Colonels showed some im provement over last year's MAC meet. In 1981 the h arri ers finished twelfth overall with a score of 323. This year t hey were eleventh out of 21 teams despite a higher point total of 3 26 ..

Films, championships advertising, magazine articles, clinics, and television and radio promotional messages are some of the tools the Association will use in an attempt to im prove participation and opportunities for women. "We have three major goals in this program," explained Ruth M. Berkey, assistant executive director. ''We want to increase the number of female student-athletes, we want to . . f, create more opportumues or WOmen coaches and we want to provide tools for those women professionals to be better qualified to be top job candidates." Just as the program has three goals, the increase in Association support is in three areas : an expansico of already-existing promotional efforts, supplementary funding of promotional programs earmarked specifically for NCAA women's championships and expansion in new directions . Berkey will oversee the entire effort, aided by a soon-to-be-hired assistant and cooperation from the communications department, particularly in the area of championships promotion. "We want to do what we can to make women's championships even more successful," said administrative assistant Timothy W . Gleason, who coordinates all championships promotional efforts. ''There is no way to measure exactly the results of our efforts so far, but our discussions with host institutions have indicated a great response. Some of what we are doing still is in the experimental stage ." Some of those experiments took place last year as concerted efforts to f, 'f' promote a ew spect IC women's championships. Targeted promotions will contim1e this year in women's gymnastics, volleyball and basketball.

In addition, special television features will be produced for use in the Norfolk, Virginia, market in conjunction with the Division I women's basketball finals. Berkey is even more enthusiastic about the new concepts that will be initiated this year to promote women's sports in general - a new idea recently generated by the NCAA.

The next time Wilkes got the ball, an injured Wayne Lonstien · hobbled onto the field . Lonstien served up a 42-yard bomb to Sieler and gave his team a comfortable 24-0 lead. FDU gave the Colonels something to think about when they scored just before the end of the first half. The touchdown came on a 30-yard pass from Bob Macabe to Mike Pepis. The conversion failed and the half ended 24-6. Unsworth reflected on the scoring, "I thought when we were up 10-0 we were going to win. I was a little worried when they scored before the half.''

They must also have the city's permission to hold such a conference. "I truly doubt Wilkes could hold such a conference; it doesn't have the facilities,'' stated LeBlanc.

Freshman Killed In Auto Accident A violent car crash claimed the life of a Wilkes College freshman last Saturday. Henry J. Slusarczyk, a freshman computer science major from Avoca, Pa., and two friends were killed early Saturday morning, October 29. A fourth youth involved in the accident is in guarded condition in the intensive care unit of the Community Medical Center, Scranton. According to the Dunmore State Police, the car Slusarczyk and his friends were in was traveling north on Thornhurst Road, Clifton Township, at an apparent high rate of speed when the driver failed to negotiate a left turn. The vehicle ran off the road. struck several trees, rolled over on its roof and then plunged into the Lehigh River. Pronounced dead on arrival at C.M.C . were Casmir Biesaideski, the driver of the car; Adam Laskowski; and Slusarczyk. The fourth person involved, George Sellock, is still in C.M .C. The son of Henry and Colrina Slusarczyk, Henry was a 1982 graduate of Pittston Area High School. He was a member of the National Honor Society and in the Who's Who of American High School Students. Beside his jnterest in Computer Science, Slusarczyk was a member of the Air Force ROTC . Nine Air Force ROTC Cadets Awarded Scholarships by Candy Marshall Nine Air Force ROTC cadets of Det. 752 recently received scholarships , according to Lt. Col. Bruce L. Burke , professor of Aerospace studies. While many persons apply for four -year scholarships in high school, he said very few recei ve them. Instead , Lt. Col. Burke explained that many of these students are awarded three and a half, three, two and a half, ortwr,-year scholar· ships, "based on actual performance in school (college)." Minimal requirements must be met in order to apply for AFROTC scholarships. Interested students need only fill out required forms with the Air Force officers, get a good physical, take the AFOQT's (similar to SA T's) and have a 2. 5 GPA. Application packages are submit· ted at the end of each semester to a board of eight senior officers. These officers meet at Maxwell Air Force Base , Alabama in order to determ· ine scholarship awards . If a stu· dent is selected , the scholarship is retroactive to the beginning of that semester. Once a student receives a scholar· ship, he must maintain a minimum of a 2.0 GP A. Also, he has a four· year commitment to the United States Air Force upon graduation (six years for navigational and se';en years for pilot scholarships, due to the high costs of training). Another relatively new program is the "Hip Pocket " scholarships .. Four to six engineering, navigation· al and technical scholarships are given directly to Lt. Col. Burke and are available to any interested per· son . He has the authority to deter· mine who will receive the· scholar· ships. Twenty-five percent of the 123 persons currently enrolled in AFROTC are on scholarship , Lt. Col. Burke said. He added that four out of the nine cadets who just received scholarships are Wilkes College students. Don Mencl, a junior computer science major and resident assist· ant from Long Valley , NJ , received a pilot scholarship. Mencl said he came to Wilkes for "wrestling, ROTC and academics. Of the col· leges I looked at , Wilkes had what I needed and had high standards in each one , " he said, "Wilkes had the best program for me." Jim Garnett, a junior from Dov· er, Del. received a technical scholar· ship for computer science. In addi· tion to the computer science depart· ment , Garnett said he selected Wilkes because it had ROTC. "I lived my whole life with an Air Force family, " he explained, "so I wanted to pursue that as a career." Joe Dylewski , a junior business administration major from Shaver· town, received a navigational schol· arship, and Al Solomito, a junior pre-med student at Wilkes received a pre-health scholarship. The five students on outlying campuses who received AFROTC scholarships are : Robert A. Pfau, Randolph R. Rompola , Vincent P. Calzola, David M . Kozuch and April C. Edwards. Lt. Col.

The point of this discussion was whether the Ball should be formal or semi-formal. A representative for the 50th Anniversary · Committee proposed that the Ball should be semi-formal with a formal option. . One representative agreed with the proposal and said ·that it would be easier to have it this way mainly because of expense. She pointed out that the Christmas holidays are expensive enough for most people without the added burden of a tuxedo rental. Another representative com mented that there may be a possibility of getting a discount on tuxedos if a large amount of them are rented at once. Further discussion on the matter will take place. The new parking applications will be available around the campus next week . It was stressed by a representative that all completed applications must be mailed into the CC office and postmarked by December 10, 1982. There will be a coffeehouse on Friday \ November 12 in the Con yngham Student Center from 11 a.m . until 2 p.m. The entertainment will be provided by Jim Havley. Before the close of the meeting, CC representatives presented their views on the damages done at Gus Genetti's during the Homecoming Dinner. The point of discussion was that there is a bill from Genetti for almost $500 and, along with it, an ultimatum to either pay the whole bill or forget about ever doing business with him again. Most of the representatives agreed that the bill should be paid Au,ard. Programs nnounced/or1983 by Mike Woll At Monday night's meeting, SG announced that the Cinderella Ball and Prince Charming for the Cinderella Ball will be,~lected much like the Homecoming Court . Ralph Pringle, chairman of the elections committee, announced the method to be used to elect the Cinderella and Prince Charming will have two parts . In the first election, everyone will be able to nominate three men and three women from each class. The second election will have a ballot listing the top . three men and women from each class, and everyone gets to vote for three men and three women out of the 12 listed . The nominated must attend the Cinderella Ball or forfiet the for the sake of the school ' s reputation in the community. One representative said that the bill should be paid but she commented that a lot of the blame should be on the two security guards because throughout the entire even_ing neither one of them saw a thmg . Because of this, and the fact that they left earlier than they should have, the guards may not be _Paid. Mary Ellen Judge , president of CC said that if the bill was not paid the' school may be "black balled, " which means that other businesses in the area would be alerted of the incident . Other representatives said that it was not fair for the school to have to pay the full amount. They said that a compromise should be made because of the ambiguities of the of the night's events. No definite decision has been made on the matter. ''It is only in his work that an artist can find reality and satisfaction, for the actual world is less intense than the world of his invention and consequently his life, without recourse to violent disorder, does not seem very substantial.

President I.eBlanc recapped the entire incident and then asked for opinions on whether Wilkes should pay the bill. The overwhelming response was that Wilkes should not be responsible unless more solid evidence is presented by Genetti. Lourie then brought up the topic of the parking system. He stated that after a discussion with the man in charge of ticketing and towing ~tudents who park in the incorrect spots , he feels perhaps the present system should be revised in some way . According to Lourie, under the present system, students parked in the correct lot, but the wrong spot within the lot , must be ~cketed and then towed. He suggested this should be changed . LeBlanc reminded Lourie that the present system was not "thought up overnight" and had been discussed a lot last year. Kirk Forman, parking committee cochairman, reported that under the present system, students who discover someone has parked in their spot are to park off campus and then contact the Personnel Department and the other car will be ticketed or towed. President I.eBlanc then announced that it had been decided to continue work on the Hall Presidents Council and the writing of a constitution would begin soon. There was no competition in the voting for Hall of the Month; Hollenback Hall won the title for October . Reporting for Student Center Board, Naomi Harris mentioned that the Junior and Senior Classes would be co-sponsoring a clambake at the Student Center on Friday. Admission to the dance is $1, and one dozen clams cost $1. Raul Gochez, also reporting for the Student Center stated that the board has decided that no one will be allowed to dance on the speakers at Student Center parties.

Rarely does a team capture more than one "Outstanding Novice" award. Wilkes captured a grand total of four this year.

I· A_m eri~n ca:_cerSociet~ �Page 4, The Beacon, November 5, 1982 To the•Editor: Editor's Corner If you are a typical commuting student at Wilkes , you have probably paid (including lab fees, health fees , tuition fees, etc.,) nearly $4800 for your education so far this year. If you are a typical residence hall student, you have probably paid nearly $7000 for the 1982-83 academic year thus far. During the course of a four -year program at Wilkes , the average residence hall student will invest nearly $26 ,000 in his college education . At a past faculty meeting , Wilkes ' President Robert S. Capin estimated that students' tuition fees make up nearly ninety percent of Wilkes operating budget. Where does this money go? Part of these funds will support the various student organizations on campus , part will pay for services for the student (such as health care privileges, free student publications, free admission to cultural activities on campus, etc), part is used for merit-or need-based scholarships, and part of these funds will be used to satisfy the demands of an expanding academic community by being allocated to teaching and curriculum. Certainly, part of the operating budget costs of the College also include building and grounds maintenance; the students' money virtually is the foundation of Wilkes College. It makes little sense for the customer to throw away the food he has just paid for; it makes even less sense for a man to beat the dog he intends to professionally show. One hardly can say that it is sensible for a student to pay $260C0to use academic facilities and then destroy those facilities. And it is simply ludicrous that a student would pay that much money to use facilities and then stand passively by to watch someone else destroy them . But that is exactly what is happening. Students are paying increasingly larger tuition bills to use Wilkes' facilities, and at the same time are destroying those facilities for themselves or for others. Vandalism by students on campus (and off) is increasing : at the recently-held Homecoming Dinner Dance costs were increased by nearly $500 because of vandalism; cars in campus lots have been damaged; and residence halls are taking a severe beating. Those students who feel it is necessary to vent their suppressed anxieties or anger by ripping bathroom sinks from walls (sinks that those same students have indirectly paid for) deserve perhaps more sympathy than anger , for if they could not think of another outlet for their emotions, they are pitiful ; if they think that ripping down sinks is some kind of protest against authority , they are incredibly misdirected ; and if they find that destruction is pleasurable, they are sick; and if they eniov working to pay for facilities which they immediately destroy, then they are just plain stupid. . One need not be a Jean Dixon to predict that the same cretm who think it's cute to deface campus buildings will be the loudest to complain when tuition costs skyrocket because of increased maintenance and upkeep bills for these buildi ngs. One wouldn 't mind thei r complaining or their moronic pranks if they were the only ones affected, but their pay ments for their senseless , destructive "fun " come out of everyone's pockets, and most of us have better uses for our hard-earned money. One is inclined to wonder , "what next?" Perhaps ~he sink-rippers will move on to toilet-bombing (just think of all the misery one could cause if he blew them all up -,- what fun), or perhaps light-smashing (you have to be really tough to smash a light with a rock in a deserted lot at 2 a.m.). Supposedly, simple graffiti-vandal is perhaps the most courageous, for he unshamedly displays to the world through the paint ed word his monosyllabic vocabulary, his obviously unfulfilled sexual needs (indicated by his usual monosyllabic word choice), and his masochistic desire to deface a wall , stairwell . etc. that he has to indirectly (llid someone to paint or plaster. It take, guts to admit all of that publicly. It should be hoped , however, that the plethora of activities on campus can yield more productive and satisfying rewards than can these such admittedly "valuable and challenging" pastimes . Granted, a student with a sense of adventure would be tempted to prefer blowing up a public restroom to playing intramural basketball; wouldn't you? The statement andquestion are absurd, and the situation is pitiful . To those who are causing the destruction on campus, one can only say, it's time to grow up already. EDITOR'S NOTE: The Chairman of the Wilkes' Academic Standards Committee is presently Dr. Robert Riley, not Dean Gerald Hartdagen as stated in last week's ' 'Edi tor's Corner.' ' I expected some response to my letter about pulicity problems for Story Theatre (The Beacon, 15 October 1982, p.4), but I certainly did not expect that response to attack me personally. · I stand by my original assertion that Student Government behavior to Story Theatre publicity was "disappointing and destructive." There is nothing wrong with my in tegrity, and, as far as my doctors are concerned , both my hearing and my eyesight are fin e. For the record: a) Despite the fact that Elaine K erch usky , President of Student Government , has said in print that Student Government is not under the impression that Cue and Curtain and Theatre Arts are the same thing, I had to spend a good five minutes explaining the distinction to Ms. Kerchusky on the telephone. I do not lie about these things; I have a witness . b) My hearing is fine. Ms. Kerch usky never, and I repeat, never gave me, as she contends in her letter: ''names and halls of SG reps that would be willing to help him with his publicity.'' SIJe did say, however, that if I gave student government Story Theatre posters, S.G. would put them up . Under the circumstances, that suggestion seem. ed a bit like the P.L.O . offering to patrol Israel's borders. Besides , Ms. Kerchusky admitted to me that O'Neill Adds Further Comment Concerning Story Theatre Publicity S.G. would probably not be able to put up the number of fliers and posters which we had printed. c) There is nothing wrong with my eyesight, nor the eyesight of two cast members of Story Theatre who hung our banner on the cafeteria. The S.G. Homl'Coming sign was hung in the exact same spot that the Story Theatre banner had Commuters Take Note: On-Campa• Li.,ing May Be Bet To the Editor: I am very concerned about the large num her of stude nts living at home whiil' attending college .I am a 1981 graduate "f Mount Saint Mary ·s College in Emmitsburg, MD and by talking to students and facult y, I found that stude nts living away from home generally do much better both academically and socially than st udents livi ng wi th their families .

This is a hopeful sign that maybe the apathy of the past few elections has passed. Of course, it could have been the good weather and the issues of Reaganomics that brought the people out. I hope the trend continues , in any event. I wish that all the networks would stop attempting to out-predict one another at ridiculously early hours of the evening. Predictions made at 7 :J0-8 p.m. EST may certainly spark the ratings and may help the computer companies' prestige, but these predictions may tend to influence election outcomes in the midwest and far western regions. A voter who desires to go to the polls late may decide that his vote is superfluous in the face of his candidate's imminent defeat or victory. Oarks Summit and its neighbor rejected consolidation which would have resulted in better community services at a reduced cost. It is just another example of the parochial attitudes which pervade the area and which, in all likelihood, will lead to the demise of the area. On the other hand, Lackawanna County voters deserve the praise ot all for voting themselves a 2.2 mill. increase in taxes to support their Ii brary system. Let's see if somewhere in the not-too-distant future Lu., eme County can show the same inte.tinal fortitude and publicly support the public libraries in this comity. The nuclear freeze movement seems to have garnered a good deal of public support if the referendum presented in nine states and the District of Columbia is any indication. The issue is clear, at least in those areas - and I suspect nation wide - that the public will no longer stand for the ravings of those who would lead us to a nuclear holocaust. George Wallace won the governorship of Alabama by running as the liberal in the campaign top that one if you can. John Heinz said in his victory speech that he would work for "free but fair trade ." The two terms are really mutually exclusive, but I guess that we can forgive the learned Senator's engaging in some post-election rhetoric. Dick Thornburg won the governorship of the state. The race was considerably closer than many had anticipated. It was also considerably sleazier on Allan Ertel's _part than · anyone anticipated. While I do not support a good many of Thornburg's policies, for Ertel to suggest that Thornburg was directly responsible for the WilkesBarre mass murders w;is dirty politics at its worst Many of those targeted by NCPAC won anyway. I sincerely hope that most of the nails necessary for burial were put in that insicjious organization's coffin and that the people of the county have turned away from ''.Falwellesque" morality and have returned to common sense judgment. The race for the _governor's chair in New York was a bellwether. It pitted an unabashedly hardcore liberal against an equally hardcore conservative. The liberal, Cuomo, won. In Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District, Frank Harrison won big despite · having almost no financial backing - he had to borrow $40,000 on his own at the last minute. This just goes to show that all the wherewithal in the world won't help if one promises to support Reaganomics first and your· district second. Congratulations to Frank Harrison and his campaign staff. Now that the election is over, what does it all mean? In the House races, .Reaganomics seems to have been the issue and was overwhelmingly rejected. In the Senate, the Republicans seem to have held their own. One must understand, however, that these races are often laws unto themselves, often riding more on individual personality(s) than those in the House. In short, at least in the Senate, there is no indication of Americans having elected to either "stay the course'' or get off the course. While I sincerely hope that no one has forgotten what is facing our newly elected politicians. A $200 billion deficit is staring Americans in the face. On the 15th of this month, Alan Greenspan and his crew will make recommendations regarding how the Social Security system will operate in the future . Our NA TO alliance is shaky, at best, due in no small part, to Reagan's economic boycott while he sells wheat to the Russians. Eleven million people are still out of work. Factory capacity is running at a mere 70 percent output. There is a state ,of economic depression in many areas of the United States. So to the newly elected officials good luck ladies and gentlemen. You will need it with the legacy that Reagan and the New Right have left you.

IU takes hard In a dramatic effort to enforce the campus no-alcohol rule , Indiana U. officials no-booze St and are conducting spot checks of.public areas in dormitories and fraternity houses, and warning students of potential charges against those found drinking. The unannounced checks are part of a full-scale attack on alcohol abuse initiated this fall by Dean of Students Michael Gordon. It includes creation of an alcohol information center, a campus chapter of BACCHUS (Boost Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students), and alcohol education classes. But the spot checks - dubbed "raids" by students - have predictably drawn the .most attention. Gordon isn't fazed by student criticism. "For too long ad ministrators have been afraid to stand up and do something about the alcohol problem," he says . ..At JU, where the legal drinking age is 21, that means convincing students the longstanding policy against alcohol consumption in undergraduate residences will now be strictly enforced. The spot checks are conducted by Gordon and other officials, accompanied by campus police. All liquor found is confiscated and the students involved are sternly warned. Gordon says future violators could face campus disciplinary charges. The JU Student Association initially questioned the legality of the checks, saying the student handbook prevents the search of private dorm rooms with orobable ransP .

IUSA is still encouraging students to voice their opinions on the crack down to G?rdon said President D.J. Bolinger. He believes the spot check may turn students against the entire alcohol education program. "Students perceive the two as heing the same, and they're very angry about the crackdown," he said. "That may damage student support of BACCHUS beyond repair." ' But Gordon believes the time has come for decisive action. He links student drinking to problems of vandalism, academic failures, sex-related assaults and suicidal behavior. "It's hurting.students academically and in their interpersonal relationships," he · said. "They' re establishing ti1eir drinking patterns for life here.

A NEW CIGARETTE TAX may help college students in Massachusetts. Under a bill introduced in the state house recently, a new 2 cent tax on each cigarette package would be converted to state student aid funds, paying for a state work-study program, loan and grant programs. The minimum state grants would be increased from a $300$900 range of$ 500 up to half of tuition. Are you sure about the major you have chosen? Would you like to be? The Wilkes College Testing Service, located behind Roth Center, can help in confirming your majorchoice. , The testing service is a program that provides students with beneficial testing and counseling free of charge. Joseph Kanner, director of Testing Service said, "The results can be used to make the best possible decisions about career plans for the future.'' He said that the testing available is endless . When an interested student comes in, for example, Kanner said that he begins by giving the student at least two kinds of tests. The results from these determine whether further testing is necessary. Students may also be tested for learning disabilities or psychological ' disorders. Kanner said that there are -tests to improve test taking. This includes not only classroom exams but also school or job entrance exams. Problems with study habits or reading skills can be identified through the testing service. According to Kanner , the results can provide students with the background knowledge about · their abilities and interests that will help them make a career decision that will be right for them. For instance, if a student comes into the service with an interest in math but not a strong ability, the student would · be advised of possible alternatives. These would be to take courses to strengthen his math skills or to consider alternative majors which require less math. Students can use the results of the interest tests to plan their semester schedules. They can also be used in the selection of specific courses. Kanner said that it is unfortunate that students do npt usually make use of the service until there is a problem. Many students who do use the service are sent there by one of the deans because they have a problem. He said that an example of this might be when a student is failing a major class and the dean . wants to find out if it is necessary for the student to withdraw from the class or whether the situation could be handled in another way. Kanner commented that there have been situations where tested students showed little or no interest in being in college. These people are usually students who have been pressured into attending college for one reason or another. In these cases, Kanner usually advises the student to stick with their college studies because of the benefits that a college education has in today's society. If the student still wishes to pursue the other interest he can do so with a stable educational backup. Students may also come in for the counseling aspect of the program. This may be when a student becomes pregnant , is afraid to tell her parents about the situation and her anxiety is hurting her school work. In this case, Kanner said · that he sends the student to a doc- 1 tor to verify her condition and from there the rest of the problems can be worked on. Seniors can also use the _._ _ _ _ __ _ service to confirm their This would be a check to see student's choice is the one really wanted. He said, "!• ways good _to know whe stand.'' He also said that m these test scores can be typed signed by him and used as tials for job interviews. Kanner said that it does long to get the results. that the results are given according to the student's n some cases, the tests are c right away so that the stu receive immediate results. ''The results of these t valid and reliable when properly interpreted," he · instance, a low IQ score seen as bad when actually dent is very high in vocabu reading but low in math The poor math score brin~ the overall IQ score.

Photog, maga: Thirt Studt c~ Student llesearchi Behavior Of Piranh by Donna Nitka Piranha: a small fish with razor sharp teeth, nati v~ to the rivers of South America, that often attacks men and other/ large animals. The behavior of the fish is the subject of research currently being conducted by Karen Evaskitis, a junior biology major. Karen sais she chose the piranha as her research subject because "very little work has been done on them." She is interested primarily in their behavior and is trying to discover what provokes them to attack. She noted that this will be done through exposing the fish to various stimuli and noting their response. The stimuli being investigated include sound frequencies , blood, motion and various combinations of the three. Karen also plans to determine if sound communication is present. Both single and groups of fish will be tested for communication. The species of piranha that Karen is studying is from the Amazon. She has four of the fish, each approximately five inches long. Piranhas are noted for having bodies half as deep as they are long , large blunt heads and jaws with razor sharp teeth that enable them to bite pieces out of almost any animal. Karen became involved with research last year when she assisted Dr. Rigley, her research advisor, with a c~~fis~ project h~ was work- ing on. :She became so mterested in it that she decided to undertake a project of her own - piranhas.

Catlin Hall was named for George Catlin , a r E •owned painter of In · dian life , w 11le Delaware Hall re· ceived its name from an Indian tribe . that 09ce inhabited this area. George Catlin was born in Wilkes Barre area in 1 796. Following in his father's footsteps, he became an attorney. He was unhappy in this profession so he left his practice to study art. Catlin began his art career as a portrait painter, but later trurned to painting American Indians. By the 1830's, he had developed a collection of portraits and scenes in the life of North American Indians. He expanded his works in the 1850's to include the South American Indians. He died in 1872. The inimitable style, the outrageous plot, the tragi-farcical tone tell us that we are about to enjoy another visit to John Irving's seductive, thought-provoking world. The bestselling author of The World According to Garp has returned with another generational epic, The Hotel New Hampshire ( 3.95/ September 1982), a Total Release which Pocket Books will publish with a first printing of 1.8 million copies and a major advertising, promotion and publicity campaign. When published in hardcover, The Hotel New Hampshire was an immediate success, appearing in the number one spot on the best- seller lists across the country. It stayed on The New York Times list for over six months. John Irving's widespread appeal inspired Time magazjnetohonor with a cover story to coincide with the book's publication. With over 350,000 copies in print, the hardcover edition was nominated for an American Book Award and was a Bookof-the-Month Oub Main selection.

The Delaware Indians occupied all of New Jersey, parts of New York and northern Delaware as well as the eastern parts of Pennsylvania. Their presence in these areas was recorded as early as 1600. The Delaware are one of the tew tribes who have come to be known' by an English term. Their name is derived from Lord Delaware, the second governor of Virginia. They are most widely known for holding a council with William Penn in 1682 at Philadelphia. They are also ceditted with furnishing the early settlers with very reliable scouts.

Before the Center was in operation, this type of tutoring wa~partially hancfied by the Act 101 Center located in Ross Hall. Mary Black, Reading Specialist and Activities Director for the Academic Support Center, stated that the Act 101 program is funded under a "state grant, and provides essentially the same serivces to students who are under Act 101 guidelines ." Recently, therefore, the College administration decided to combine these two services; Dr. Joseph ~ellucci is presently Program Director. John Whitby is Di recto~ for Act 101, and Cheryl Cooper 1s now tutor coordinator for the Academic Support Center and f\ct 1 O_l. "We are lowering service-delivery costs by combining -the two services , " Black . noted. She also added that the Center has expanded its services to include individual counseling on time and stress management. Responsible for this segment of the Center's program is Barbara Jablonski, who holds a degree in counseling psychology. Black noted, however, that the Center maintains contact with Mr. Joseph Kanner ; referred to him is any student who requires more help than the Center can furnish. Black added that the Center also works with the Wilkes' deans staff on a mutual-referral basis. · But even though these additional 'services are proving valuable, the focus of the Center is on academics. "Study sessions" have been created and are presently being utilized by nearly one hundred students. Black explained that a "study session' ' is simply a group of students who work together and are assisted by a tutor. These sessions are offered in addition to tutoring on a oneto-one basis and have proved to be a successful tutoring alternative thus far . Their purpose, according to Black, is to supplement instruction, not supplant it. A tutor works for and with the department concerned; he or she reviews texts, clarifies issues , answers questions, and helps work out problems with the material. " A secondary gain results also, Black added , in that students who work with profession al tutors learn ' 'how to study. ' ' The workshops sponsored by the Center, Black further explained, concentrate on study skills and primarily focus "on three things: showing the student how to decide what is . important to know and to remember in study material; how to learn this most efficiently ; and how to prepare for examinations and to improve scores by learning how to anticipate questions.'' Two of the professional tutorin~ staff at the Center are Ann Williams, who directs study sessions in ac:coun_ting, and Yoshi Suzuki, who directs sessions in The Center's staff is curre ing tutors in engineering; professional tutors is, expensive.

' It was a perfect day - the weather was beautiful, fans lined the field, and the Lady Colonels were anxious for the opening whistle of the game. Wilkes had at least two good reasons to play: they were playing the University of Scranton , and they were playing for the Northwest League MAC championship title. The Scranton goal that came six minutes into play shouldn't have mattered to the Wilkes team other than to make it more goal-hungry. lt came on a breakdown of the Wilkes defense at mid-field, and the Lady Colonels never really recovered. The defense became stronger, stifling Scranton's attack an_d , ONE ON ONE. Lady Colonel defenseman Karen Johnson maneuvers the ~all away from a Lady Royal opponent. On October 29, Wilkes and Scranton squared off for the MAC Northwest title, and the Lady Colonels lost a heartbreaking and frustrating 1-0 decision. offensively, Wilkes was cutting tor , the ball and supporting each other right down to the Lady Royal goal' cage. However , the goal just never came. Clearly, Wilkes outplayed Scranton in terms of shots (16- 7) ahd penaly corners (20-6), and Wilkes ~as tied and defeated teams better than Scranton. So where did the Lady Colonels go wrong? Coa~·h Gay Meyers offered that Wilkes may have been "too tight," too cautious . She adds, though , that it is difficult to pinpoint Wilkes' shortcomings. ' 'It is a hard one to swallow. We were the better team and it's hard to believe so much can end after one game. I can't put my finger on what happened. I can't understand our lack of intensity. I should have done something more or different to have the team ready for the University of Scranton .''

They also had their fourth loss on October 27 to Division I Bucknell University. Ttie record for the season is 14-4. Now, the Lady Colonels will travel to Dickinson College on November 5th for the MAC playoffs. Last Wednesday, Oct. 27, the Lady Colonels traveled to Bucknell University. Well, Division I seemed to be too much for the Ladies to handle as Bucknell took the first three games, 15-10, 15-13 and 15-7. But the Ladies were not out.- played as the Colonelettes had 28 out of 79 kills as to 27 out of 58 for Bucknell. The ladies did have 26 service aces as compared to Bucknell's 22 aces. In kills, it was sophomore Jennifer Golding with eight and senior Cathy Lee with seven. Cathy Lee also balanced out her skills with 8 service aces and freshman Teresa Miller added six aces. ,., Then on Sunday, Oct. 31, which was Parent's Day for the Ladies, Wilkes hosted College Misericordia. This was also the last home match for seniors Ellen Van Riper and Cathy Lee. Misericordia gave the Ladies a good hard fought match. Wilkes realty had to battle for this win . Scores were, 15-10, 15-16 and 15-12. Ellen Van Riper ended up as the leading hitter with seven kills. Also, Jennifer Golding had five kills. In service aces it was senior Cathy Lee with nine. In the last game, Wilkes was trailing 12-10. It was Cathy's serve and she aced five in a row to lead the Lady Colonels to the victory. Also, · Jennifer Golding did her usual excellent performance with serves . She also had nine aces. Colonel Harriers Avenge De/eat To Baptist Bible by Ellen Van Riper The Wilkes cross country team concluded its season on a successful note. Last week the Colonels recorded wins over Baptist Bible (25-30) and Muhlenburg (17-43) to complete the 1982 season with a 12-8 overall record. Down the stretch the Colonels have won four in a row, and this strong finish is indicative of the improvement which the young Colonels have achieved this season. It, also seems as if they have reached their peak just in time for the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship Meet. On October 27, the Colonels traveled to Clarks Summit to face the Baptist Bible Defenders. In an earlier confrontation held at Kirby Park, the Colonels had been narrowly edged 27-28 by the Defenders in a very exciting meet . Therefore, the re-match had the added incentive of revenge for the Colonels. Coach Bellairs aptly described the turning point of the race, "At the halfway mark, four Baptist Bible runners were way out in · front . But, they went up hill and a out of sight, and the next thing I knew, McGuire, Levandoski and Hockenbury were running onetwo-three. It was thrilling for me. They did what they had to do to win. " The three Colonels held on and never relinquished their lead. Tom McGuire and David Levandoski crossed the finish line together with a winning time of 28:24. Close behind them was George Hockenbury with a time of 28:34. Placing the top three finishers automatically locked up the meet for the Colonels, for it insured a low point total. Finishing fourth for the Colonels and ninth overall was Greg Quinn, who was timed at 30:17. The fifth finisher for Wilkes was Joe Dill, who ended up 10th overall with timeof30:47. On October 30, the Colonels were once again on the road. They journeyed down to Muhlenburg College to run on another grassy course. Bellairs thought that the meet would be close, but his Colonels ended up really taking the Mules for a ride. At the end of the first mile it appeared as if it would indeed be close. A Muhlenburg runner led with George Hockenbury behind him. In third was another Mule, but Colonel Tom McGuire was hot on his heels. The two-mile mark saw the Colonels outkick the Mules and gain the top three spots. From then on, it was not even close. The overall winner and top Colonel finisher was George Hockenbury, who crossed the line at 27:53 . Relatively close behind was Tom McGuire with a time of 28:09 . Finishing third overall was David Levandoski with a time of 28:38 . The top Muhlenburg run. ner finished more than a minute behind him at 29:45. The fourth and fifth Colonel finishers and fifth and sixth overall were Joe Dill and Greg Quinn. Dill came in at 30:38, and Quinn was 10 seconds behind at 30:48. Finishing eight and 10th overall were Chuck Harris and Owen Murphy. Harris was clocked at 31 :08, and Murphy was timed at 31:18. LADY COLONEL A TT ACK.

Wilkes was intercepted three ~imes and starting Quarterback Randy Rice was dropped in his own backfield en at least a dozen occasions. The final score is not a good indication of the Colonels defensive performance. On the first play from scrimmage, Lou Zampetti intercepted a Hopkins pass and gave Wilkes the ball on the Blue Jays 27 yard line.

Bruggeworth accounted for seven saves while the Defenders' keeper stopped five. East Stroudsburg dominated most of the action on Saturday as they easily handled Coach Phil Wingert ' s Colonels. The Warriors scored four of their goals in the first half the Colonels played a disoriented brand of soccer. The second half proved to be much better for the Wilkes team as they allowed only one goal. The Division II Warriors were better skilled players and took advantage of the passiveness of the Colonel's defense, who were beaten to most of the 50/50 balls. This, coupled with mental mistakes, resulted in the East Stroudsburg romp. No Colonel had more than one shot on goal as the total amounted to four as compared to 23 for East Stroudsburg.

However, for two teams the season is just beginning. The cross country team of Bart Bellairs and the volleyball team of Doris Saracino will be carrying the blue and gold to the Middle Atlantic Conference Championships, also known as the "second season ." The Colonel harriers will be travelling to Lebanon Valley College on November 6, and the Lady Colonel spikers will be heading to Dickinson College in Carlisle on November 5 and 6. These events are the ~limax of the season, and both coaches are expecting their team to perform well and do the Colonel proud at the "big one." Cro•• Country Bart B-ellairs really did not know what to expect at the start of the season . His team was young and inexperienced, and he was not sure if the team could do well without graduated super runner Ken Pascoe . He was both a leader and a talented runner, so his shoes would be hard to fill . After some early season ups and downs, the Colonels finally began to put it all together. They won their last four in a row to finish at 12-8. Valuable experience is gained with the passage of time. First and second year runners began performing like juniors and seniors, and the whole team began to mold itself into a single unit. The top three runners have been George Hockenbury , David Levandoski and Tom McGuire. All season long they have vied for that top spot pf being the number one Colonel finisher . At times, they have crossed the line together or in pairs. Only a freshman, George Hockenbury has lived up to his pre-season billing and then some. The former top runner at Hanover Area, George -has been a pleasant surprise all season long for Bellairs and the Colonels. After finishing fifth in the season opener against Elizabethtown and Philadelphia and seventh against King's, Delaware Valley, and Misericordia, Hockenbury has run up quite an impressive record. Against Lycoming, he crossed the line with Levandoski and McGuire with identical winning times. He won his first collegiate meet the first time that the Colonels faced the Baptist Bible Defenders . In a loss to the Moravian Greyhounds, George finished second overall. · Most recently, Hockenbury was the winner in a victory over Muhlenburg. As a freshman, David Levandoski was a sensation. He and Pascoe formed a formidable onetwo punch for the Colonels. This year David has been a steady performer, and he has taken on much of the leadership responsibilities. He has not been flashy, just consistent. He opened the season with a first-place finish against Elizabethtown and Philadelphia Pharmacy. Against Lycoming, David was a member of the winning trio. Recently, he tied for first against Baptist Bible in a Colonel victory. Tom McGuire had been a solid and steady second and third finisher for the Colonels, but recently he has entered the hunt for the top spot. He was a member of the Lycoming meet victory trio . In the narrow defeat to Baptist Bible, Tom finished third overall. He was the top Colonel finisher against Moravian College. Tom was especially impressive last week in the Colonel victories. He tied with Levandoski for first against Baptist Bible, and he finished second against Muhlenburg. These three runners have convinced Bellairs that he "has a good team for this kind of meet. They all run close together." All of the runners will be 'important, but these three will hold the key. Bellairs has set a rather modest goal for his team. He would, of course, like to win the meet, but he would be happy if his team beat cross-town rival King's College. Volleyball The Lady Colonel volleyball team, on the other hand, does have playoff experience on its' side. However , all of this experience has been of a negative kind. The spikers have qualified for the Middle Atlantic Conference playoffs in each of the past two seasons, but they have yet to find success . Each time they have come away frustrated, disappointed and disillusioned. Junior Co-Captain Debbie Kramer, fellow junior Sally Fisher , sen ior Co-Captain Ellen Van Riper and sophomore Jennifer Golding have all suffered through this failure. However, they all agree that things will be quite different this time around. According to both Kramer and Golding, there are differences between this year's team and last year 's team which will turn past failure into future success. Krainer said, "We work more as a team this year. We were tough last year, but we are tougher now . We really have a chance to do well.'' Golding was a bit more explicit in her comparison, "(Last year) we were a rough team with lots of sharp edges. This year we are more unified. It is more fun to be on the court, and we all help each other out." Sally Fisher believes that having had played difficult teams during the regular season will prove to be an excellent preparation for the playoffs, " We will be going ag~inst tough compet1t1on, but we have already played tough competition this season. Once in a while, we won, and, once in a while, we lost . We are going to come out on top down there.'' The aforementioned team cohesiveness will be a major factor in the playoffs , but there will be other key ingredients as well. Chief among these is the overall talent of the team and its unselfish·attitude. Tuer~ is not one player which stands apart from the rest skillwise; there is no star, and nobody tries to be one. The team is composed of six talented individuals who sacrifice their own personal glory for the glory of the team. The players on the bench also share this attitude. This also ·m·eans that each is equally dangerous to the opposition , and therefore, the opponents cannot key on one player. For instance, if they key their defense on the spikes of Cathy Lee, the opponents will be beaten by the clinks of Jennifer Golding. The Lady Colonels make the opponents play honest . Add to this the fact that each player has a mastery of all of the basic skills, such as spiking, serving, digging, and clinking , and it is clear why the ladies have amassed a 14-4 regular season record. There is one more consideration to discuss. Last year's team bordered upon this kind of talent , but it lacked on,, thing; it did not have faith in its ability and heart . When the going got tough, it folded . This year when things looked bleak and hopeless, the Lady Colonels rallied together and won . The best example of this is the game at Susquehanna. The Ladies were down 14-9 in the fifth game, but they miraculously came back to win 16-14. It would h easy to give up, but the fused to give in to this tern~ By virtue of their vict · Scranton, Kin g's , Ups FDU-Madison, the Lady captured the MAC North ision crown for the first t' The other divisional qua the MAC playoffs will be for they finished second.

Urban explained that ' ' by the time this was discovered the carpet was floating on a cush ion of water.' ' The carpeting had just been installed, but it did not have to be replaced. However, professional cleaners did have to be called in and the entire area disinfected. The bulk of the cost lies in the fact that five large trash containers, costing $64.20each,disappeared before the end of the dance. Talenti stated that Genetti explained that if it weren't for the $231 cost of th~e cans, he would not have bothered to inform the school of the damages. Genetti reported that the total cost of the vandalism is $497.85. It was also said that Genetti told the group that he wishes SG Homecoming committee would pay the entire bill or nothing at all; he does not want to be offered half or any part of the total amount. The disappearance of five rather large heavy cans has raised some questions about security. The policy at Genetti's at t~e time of the dinner dance was that an organization renting a hall must supply its own security. "Our biggest gripe,'' explained Urban, "is why didn't security see people walking off with these large containers?" The company that was hired, The Detective Intersec Agency, claim that they remained at the dance until the appointed time. However, Urban stated that an employee of Genetti's saw no security in the building at the end of the dance. No decision has been made yet on whether or not the Homecoming Committee will pay for the damage. Urban stated that she thinks other establishments in the area would look more favorably on the school if they paid the bill. However, she also expressed her reticence at using money from other student activities. It was also suggested that if the trash containers could be found and returned to Genetti's, the bill could be lessened or forgotten. Talenti said that he really doubts that this incident will have any effect on the school policies involving social functions held off campus. ''There are always damages and some vandalism at these functions. What made this one worse was the expensive trash containers.''

Touted in local papers as "the star witness for the prosecution," Walter Placek's testimony and cooperation with the FBI were key factors in the conviction of Elmer Weiskerger, Robert Clapps and Adam Hudock on charges of criminal conspriacy, bribery in official and political matters and violation of the Public Officials Ethics Act. According to Placek, between January 1 and March 25, 1980, the trio acted together to offer him, in his capacity as a Wyoming Area school director; job security for his wife, Barbara, in return for favorable votes at school board meetings. The three defendants were arrested last November on charges stemming from a two-year investigation involving the FBI and the attorney general's office. Deputy Attorney General William I. Arbuckle acted as prosecutor when the case went to trial in September of this year. A member of the Wyoming Area school board since 1975, Placek explained that at the time of his election to the board, he belonged to a four-man minority that generally opposed the policies of the five member majority. He abandoned his opposition stance in May of 1976. At that time, he and two other minority members joined an eight member coalition in response to a district budget crisis. Not long after Placek's move on the board, his wife gained employment at Valley Crest Nursing Home. In 1978, she was made director of Program Development. In November 1979, a school board election took place and four new members were elected. This reduced the 8 to 1 majority to 5 to 4. According to Placek, these four members were associated with Robert Clapps, who was a borough councilman. Placek stated that Clapps, Weiskerger and Hudock decided that with four of their associates on the school board , and his wife working for a county-run institution, they could influence his voting decisions . In return for job security for his wife, Placek was asked, by the . trio, to side with the four member Clapps faction which wanted to hire the assistant district attorney as solictor and to replace the district architect. The attempts to sway Placek's voting were unsuccessful. In June of 1980, Mrs. Placek was removed from her position at Valley Crest. She presently has a federal court case pending stating that she was dismissed from her job because of politics. Walter Placek Placek decided t,p contact the Scranton office of the FBI, and afterwards, agreed to assist with an investigation. Phone monitors were put on Placek's phone to tape all calls between members of the trio and himself, and Placek wore a NAGRA body microphone and tape system to su~sequent meetings with the three. A four day trial took place recently during which the attornies defending the three men took the position that Placek sought out Clapps, Hudock and Weiskerger when he realized his political future was in jeopardy. They contended that the body and phone taps were turned over to the FBI to assist in his wife's civil suit. After a 3.5 hour deliberation , the jury turned in a verdict of guilty. Clapps, Hudock and Weiskerger face possible jail terms of up to 19 years each and fines up to $120,000. Placek explained ·that the defendents are appealing this decision and cannot be sentenced unless they lose their first appeal. Afterwards, they can continue to appeal if they so desire. �Page 2, The Beacon, Oct ober 29, 1982 IRHCllfee ting CashPrizesto be Award by Rebecca Whitman The annual IRHC /CC sponsored Halloween Party was discussed at the Sunday IRHC meeting. , The party will be held at the gym and will run from 9 p.in. to l a .m.

Wilke• Graduate "Collected" Views Continued from page 1 by Andrea Hincken A Wilkes College student's art piece was recently given to a member of Parliament. Right Hrmorable Norman St. John Stevas, minister of art, from England, while here to speak for the convocation celebration in September, saw the student's art piece of the Manhatten Skyline on display in Stark Lobby . Liking the piece, St. John Stevas inquired about purchasing it from the artist. He talked to President Capin about the matter. who in turn went to the Art Department. It was decided that the school would purchase the art piece from the student . Before his departure, St. John Stevas was given the piece as a gift from the school. Marie McCoog, who graduated in .May with a B.A. in Art, did the piece recently in Dr. Fullers Fabric Art class. The piece, an appJique collage, is of the Manhatten Skyline. It wass created with the help of a sewing machine and glue . McCoog, a certified art leader, is "thrilled" by the entire experience. She stated that St. John Stevas plans to exhibit the art in the . modern art room of his country home. She further stated that he has collected art works from all over the world and it is "an honor to have my_picture hanging there."

Nelligan said he had met frequently in the past with the presidents of local colleges and had been told that their schools could survive if funding for 1983 was held at 1981 levels. Nelligan explained that there was a difference between the budget proposals that he supported and the actual amounts of money appropriated to educational programs. He said there was actually an increase in funding during 1981 and 1982. "That's simply not the truth," responded Harrison, a political science professor at King's College . Harrison cited the actual Congres-· sional bills and the reduction totals ani:1 ~,iid that more than a half billion dolla';-s had been removed" from grant and loan programs. In his rebuttal, Nelligan read a letter sent to him by Wilkes President Robert S. Capin. The letter expressed Capin's support and appreciation for the Congressman's work. · Nelligan also expressed his support for tuition tax credits to individuals who attend private schools He said he believes this may even tually spur the nation 's · public school systems to instityte changes and reforms to correct their "deterioration.'' Harrison said that the question of tuition tax credits is a moot point because the ZUnited States Su preme Court has declared them unconstitutional. �Pa e 4, The Beacon, October 29, 1982 To the Editor: Editor's Corner This Thursday the Academic Standards Committee will once again recommend to the Wilkes faculty a proposal that has been jumping from ''official'' to ''non-official'' status for the past two years. The proposal , actually printed in the Wilkes College 19 81-8 2 Handbook, was declared a dead-letter policy, and is once again surfacing amidst mixed feelings of support and objections on the part of faculty and students. As stated in the aforementioned Handbook, the policy is as follows : " No major examination may be given during the last five class days preceding final examinations without the approval of the department chairman and the Dean of Academic Affairs. Routine quizzes are not prohibited during the final week of classes." According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen , this prohibition met with objections from some faculty members, and that the faculty members claim that the proposal was actually voted upon and rejected last semester. However, nowhere in the minutes of past faculty meetings does this vote appear. Because of the faculty members' objections, and the minor controversies surrounding the proposal's official status, the policy was not enforced last year. Nonetheless, the need for the "no-testing" policy has not disappeared, and the proposal retains support from concerned students and others. Hartdagen, Chairman of the Wilkes Academic Standards Committee, noted that he fully supports the policy and can see no real reason why it should not become officially recognized. Other members of the committee, both students and faculty members agree; the policy apparently has been initiated at other colleges with no adverse effects. The student representatives to the Academic Standards Committee, Cindy Bonham and Dan Talenti, will present this fact along with students' viewpoints on the subject at Thursday's faculty meeting to try to win support for the policy once again. It is conceivable that some faculty members may object to the policy for two reasons. First, they may question the need for the extra reading week which would in effect be produced if the policy should be passed. Secondly as one member of the faculty noted, they may object to the proposal if they are inclined to give comprehensive final examinations; when this is the case, many professors feel it is necessary to give separate tests on each section of material covered, and if tests were to be eliminated the final week, no separate test before the comprehensive final could be given for the last part of the course. The objections seem small, however, when one considers students' feelings on the subject. Tests given during the last week of classes often become more than just a nuisance to the student; they often seriously inhibit overall study time. At a time when most students are writing papers, preparing for final exams, and planning travel routes home, an added test can be an added burden and an added worry. In the discussion that will undoubtedly ensue on Thursday, it is hoped that the faculty members who object to the policy think back to their own undergraduate years, and remember th~ir own past semesters' " final weeks ." Perhaps they then will understand more fully the students' desires to see the ''no-testing'' proposal once more put into effect.

In response to Dr. O 'N eill's address in yo ur last issue, I felt it necessary to comment on behalf of the Student Government. Dr. O'Neill opened his letter by commenting on the "disappointing and destructive behavior " of Student Government in regard to publicity for publicity for Story Theatre . In a phove conversation with Dr. O 'N eill , he stated we (S.G.) were "overstepping our bounds" by removing his posters. I would like to bring to your attention Wilkes-Barre City Ordinance N o. 6 Section 1 7 which states: "No person shall post or affix any notice, poster or other paper device , calculated to attract the attention of the public to any lamp post, public utility pole or shade tree, or upon public structure or building, except as any be authorized or required by law." Any concerned and responsible mem ber of th f' Student Body would not have stappled posters to a living tree . Or. O'Neill also stated that there is not hing in the Wilkes College Handbook in relation to Pl!blicity for on campus . I do not feel it is necessaary to print City Ordinances in the Handbook . • Also stated in his article was the fact that S.G. does not know the Pastian Kerchusky Responds On Behalf Of Student Government differen ce between a club and a departmental activity. Apparently Dr. O'Neill was not listening to me when I told h im on the phone that we are not under the impression that Cue and Curtain and Theatre Arts are one and the same. Once again, Dr. O 'Neill must not have been listening and neglected to mention in his article the fact Termed l that I gave him names and of S.G. reps that would be wi to help him with his publicity.

Today the focus is local in the hope that some will be inspired to action - hopefully positive. Some time ago , in the wake of the Plymouth voting scandal, the Philadelphi.a Inquirer ran an article calling Plymouth the crookedest little town in the country. At the same time, some suggested that the Inquirer's statement was hyperbolic. I believe that it was a gross understatement. In the Plymouth vote scheme, many of those on that town's council were convicted of voting · irregularities. For that crime, all were given mere slaps on the wrists, thus ending credence to the belief that one can violate the ci vii rights of others in this valley and get away with it. More recently, voter fraud has been uncovered in Pittston. From all accounts in the media, it would appear that Ron Mortimer was robbed of the_elect_ion by an incredi hi v by Stephen K. Urbanski andJamesJ. Haggarty, Jr. at may be the most imporpolitical event of this decade place this Tuesday. By this, mean, of course, the mid-term ns of Ronald Reagan's ncy. A critical decision will from these elections: either ters will continue to stay the blican course, or they will to turn back to the rats for solutions. After a look at the issues and caninvolved, here are the men believe deserve your vote on nday. the race that strikes closest to , "Conservative Comment" rm Congressman James an over his Democratic opt, Attorney Frank Harrison . man Nelligan, elected to term in 1980, has become of the most influential en congressmen due to his grecord on key issues, and his bility to his constituents. man Nelligan has been a supporter of the economic that have brough inflation under control, interest rates and insiduously corrupt Democratic machine. In short , it was Plymouth revisited. We doubt very seriously if those involved in this latest scandal will receive any harsher penalties if, in fact , they are convicted at all. Another scandal which is currently receiving a good deal of attention in the local media and in Harrisburg is the Wyoming Area School Board affair. It has been alleged previously that teaching jobs in many of the local school districts were for sale - that one had to be prepared to pay to get a teaching job. In addition, it would appear that one's political persuasion had to be in line with those of the powers that be. Now , it seems, if one is a member of the school board itself, you have to be exceptionally careful of how you vote lest your wife, son, relative, or close friend lose his or her job. This has been proved the case at least in the Wyoming Area School District and I suspect that the practice is more widespread than· anyone would care to admit. To top off the Wyoming Area fiasco, I saw a member of the down to realistic levels, and laid the groundwork for a strong economic recovery. This, by itself, merits his re-election, but there is more. Nelligan's close ties to his constituents have enabled him to aid even the smallest concern of his district, while -never losing sight of national goals . There is a sound ring of truth in the Nelligan slogan that "Nobody works harder . . . fo r you . Nelliga n's opponent , Frank Harrison, an amiable fellow himself, has shown a keen a bility to recognize the problems of his would-be constituents, but a lack of ability in coming up with workable solutions. His campaign is based on criticism of our current economic woes, yet beyond this point, his criticism is based on little substance with which to solve any of our problems. All in all, we find Congressman Nelligan deserving of a second term in the House cif Representatives . In the Governor's race, our full support falls behind incumbent Governor Richard Thornburgh. The sheer volume of Thornburgh's accomplishments is overwhelming. LuLerne County Board of Com111i~sioners take the fifth in questioning related to this jobs-for-votes scandal. Wh at does he have to hide? Do we really want to be represented by this type of individual? The Valley Sanitary Authority membership has been shown to be taking junkets for which no receipts are tendered and for which no accounting is requested. As usual, the taxpayer picks up the tab. Apparently, the ruckus raised by a local newspaper on the subject has prompted the State Auditor to look into the matter. Will anything come of an investigation? Sadly, I think not. The list of corruption, shady deals, graft, et similia is seemingly endless : the Hanover School District shady building contract deals, the Luzerne Intermediate Unit patronage, hiring practices of all local government agencies. the Pittston vote · scam, the Plym outh vote mess, junketeering by local administrators, ad nauseam . The Wyoming Valley is dying. The average age of the populatioP of the area continues to rise . Young people who get the opportunity He has :-outed out corruption at the state level, and restored respectability to the governorship and to the state of Pennsylvania. He has saved the state billions of dollars due to a tough, but fair welfare reform program. He has begun an ambitious program to rebuild Pennsylvania's highways, which had been neglected during the Shapp administration . Governor Thornburgh has worked hard to bring industry to Pennsylvania, and he has also been instrumental in aiding industry already in the state, both small and large. All of this he has accomplished with budgets that have been balanced , and passed with a minimum of fiscal chaos, which, under Milton Shapp, had become a state tradition. Allen Ertel, Thornburgh's op- · ponent, has served six unim pressive years in Congress . His campaign is based on exploitation of current problems, and has often bordered on the absurd. Ertel went as far as to blame the George Banks' killings on Governor Thornburgh. He has continually misrepresented the Thornburgh administration in an effort to win votes. This is not the type of candidate who should occupy the governor's mansion. Undoubtedly, Dick Thornburgh is well deserving of a second term. In the race for U.S. Senate, senior Senator John Heinz is opposed by Cyril Wecht. We have been disappointed by Heinz's voting record on national issues, for he has strayed from the conservative fold . Yet his accomplishments for the state are well documented, and we are comfortable in our endorsement of the senator. His opponent, Dr . Wecht, has 'soultions' to today's problems, but , unfortunately, they are the same liberal solutions which have failed us in the past. The Senate does not need another Ted Kennedy. John Heinz merits a return to Washington. So, on Tuesday, when you step into the voting booth, consider the consequences of your vote and the future of the nation . The decision you m·ake will determine what lies ahead for our great nation; make it wisely. - Parrish Hi.II 16 S. River St. Wilkes -Barre, PA nl .c nl I- _, ......

(A local school administrator went so far as to suggest that the political corruption had so hurt the esteem · of the young people that it was affecting their scholastic performance .) In. addition, unemployment in the valley continues to skyrocket in the wake of the myriad of plant closings in the area. If this trend continues, what we will have here is an area of unemployed, old people, represented by crooked pols. ,Unfortunately , to save this area, a complete turn of attitudes will be necessary. People will have to learn to give - instead of take. Learn to vote for competence instead of crookedness and how much the crooked politician can do for one's own little burg. In short, a 180 degree change in attitudes that have had their hold on this area since its beginnings is needed. Can the valley be saved? I don't think so. Please prove me wrong! The valley has so much to offer - it could be so different. ~ 'Boy, this must be the world 's worst rat poison.

Actually, it's the Great Rock Scare. They'll be providing the music at the CC-IRHC Halloween Party on Friday, October 29. by Melissa S. Meyers Scientifically Speaking Love Over Gold Dire Straits Warner Brothers by Stephen Badman I guess it is inevitable ; the synthesizer is here to stay in Rock. M-TV reported that Neil Young is coming out with a new album using synthesizers for the first time. I cannot imagine Young doing a syn thesizer rendition of " Mr. Soul." Pete .Townshend said that in 10 years there will be no more electric guitars. I hope that does not happen . For the first time, Dire Straits brings in Ed Walsh on synthesizer. Fortunately, the electric sounds are used moderately. Thank you Dire Straits. The synthesizer is used mainly on this album for long , sustained background sounds. The synth is very much like a second bass and is used to create a mood. Never in the album does the syn thesizer pick up the melody nor For everything there is a season , and ~ight now that season is autumn. Besides being the time of our first vacation, we consider fall to be the time of man y strange, though familiar , phenomena. The leaves turn colors, the sap is running, animals (especially bears) prepare to hibernate as the sun gets farther away and the weather grows colder. Well , not exactly ... The events of autumn are often taken for granted. They are unex plained or explained incorrectly . For instance, it is widely believed that during the fall the green pigment of leaves is changed or covered up by new pigment that is red , orange or yellow. In actuality, there is no color added to the fall leaves. Rather , their color change is a result of the removal of the green pigment , revealing other colors beneath. When photosynthesis stops docs Walsh get to jam. lnstea·d. the "six-string switc hblade" of Mark Knopfler gets to do all the cutting . "Long live Rock " Juitar. Love Over Col consists of five · songs. one of which , "Telegraph Road, " is more than 14 minutes long. All in all, there are about 41 minutes of music so do not feel ripped off when you buy the album . So what does Love Over Gold mean ? Good question. Perhpas the lyric from the title cut tells the tale: It takes love over gold and mind over matter to do what you do that you must, when die things that you hold can fall and be shattered or run through your fingers like dust. Let's say that Mr. Knopfler is not too pleased . with the situation of things in England. Though this i•: far from a concept album, there is a in the fall , the chlorophyll is the green pigment , and its removal makes visible the leaf's actual color. This explanation also disproves the frequent claim that autumn leaves are discolored by frost . It is the absence of chloroph yll that leads to the change in color. Another myth concerning fall is that of ''running sap.'' Sap does not run in the same way that we say blood does, but it does fall during the latter days of autumn . The ascent of sap (water carrying nutrients for the tree' s growth) is due, in large part , to the cohesive forces of the water. In other words, water molecules forming columns in the tree develop a certain tension from the top to the bottom of the tree. Thus, water movement takes place throughout. With •he cessation of photosynthesis , not as much water is used, disturbing the tension halance at the top of the tree. Whrn this balance is no longer main• in theme running -through it loosely. The song, "Industrial Disease," iells about factory workers who are collecting un employment checks when they would rather work. "Telegraph Road " tells the same story with the lines: "I used to like work but they shut it down / I' ve got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found .'' Apparently, in England , somebody is valuing gold over love and the workers are bearing the brunt of the greed. As for the music, the album is a very professional work . Knopfler has done a nice job on all the.songs. A 14 minut\! song can get out of hand , but Knopfler never loses con trol of ''Telegraph Road.'' I would not be surprised if people in the fut ure refer to this song as a classic Rock song like "Layla" or "Stairway to Heaven .' ' It is not a hard rock song, but more like the long jam in ·"Layla.'' "Industrial ed, fhe sap yields to gravity and falls. There is a practical reason for the movement of the sap from the top to the roots. If the sap , with its heavy water content . remained in the tree trunk when temperatures reached the freezing point , the sap would expand, causing the tree to "burst .''. In the roots , however , the sap is insulated by the ground , and such expansion will not occur . It is also thought that bears spend fall preparing for hibern ation. This can ' t be true , since bears don ' t hibernate. Hibernation is more than simply a long winter's nap. It involves a drop in temperature 2.nd slowing of the metabolic act ivities. A hibernating animal differs from a dormant one in that the former can arouse itself without external heat sources . Bears , however , neither hihernate nor go dormant. They do gn into hiding and sleep for a long rx:riod of time, but their body tem p ,·r: 11 urcs do not drop sharplv. 'iomc- Disease" is a very rocking song like " Solid Rock " from Dire Straits' last album. In fact, the three songs on side two are really rockers, while side one is mellower music with "Telegraph Road " and the haunt ing '' Private In vestigations.'' Love Over Gold means something to me. Since the shortest song is five minutes, I can tell that this album was not meant to be a commercial gold mine. Songs for commercial play are designed to be around three minutes long. So it seems that Dire Straits has other intentions than making a chart-buster. I helieye Knopfler and the band are out to make ·good music , music with quality and something to say. That is nice to see in an industry that is known for money grabhers who ruin the image of ·competent artists.

Later, he was a Political Analyst and Deputy Chief of the Government in Berlin, Germany. "The Romance of Words, " under different headings covers the ex· tensive fields of linguistics, phi!· ology, etymology, semantics .and the like. There are many specific subjects all of which stress the varied aspects of the question of Jang· uage. In his many lectures, Dr. Meyers presents a series of ordinary words, explains their origin and shows how they reflect the past history of man on this planet, his activities, his thoughts, his moments of conhision, his hopes and his fears. · He d.so discusses and illustrates vivid- ly the vital questions o( what is correct in language.

It began as a Ce! tic that marked the end of the and was seen as a day of . October 31 was the eve of year in Celtic and Anglotimes and it was on this day and tenures were renewed. Celts associated November 111 with the beginning of the darkest, most unproductive and barren half of the year. Because of this, the autumn festival acquired a strange· ly·sinister significance. It came to be associated with witches, ghosts, demons, goblins and other demonic characters. The Celts, their flocks and herds had to be protected from these satanic influences, so the autumn festival came to be devoted to appeasing the supernatural pow· ers that controlled nature. The autumn festival also was seen as an ideal time for divinations concerning marriage, luck, health an d various other aspects of life. This was considered the only day that it was permissible to call on the devil to help with such things. Halloween, as we know it, with the jack-o·lanterns, costumes and trick-or-treating, was introduced to the United States by immigrants . It did not attain its present popularity until late in the 19th century. by Donna Nitka Can you imagine how confusing it ' would be to go to sleep on October 4 and wake up on October 15? Well, that's what happened 400 years ago during the transition from the Julian calendar, the one devised by Julius Caesar, to the Gregorian calendar, the one in use oday. · Due to an error iri the Julian system, three extra days were being added every four hundred years. This may not s~em like much, but, over the centuries, these days accu• mulated . This ·resulted in a regression of the date of the vernal equinox and the first day of spring, from March 21 to March 11. In an effort to correct this error, Pope Gregory XIII assembled a committee, comprised of eminent astronomers, clergymen and mathematicians, to devise a new calendar system . The committee found that by eliminating leap days in centurial years that are not perfectly divisible by four, such as 1700, 1800 and 1900, they could curb the drifting of the date of the equinox and thus keep the date of the first day of spring on, or near, March 21. They also decided to eliminate 1O days in the year 15 82 to restore the date of the equinox to March 21. October was chosen as the month during which the transition from th(' old calendar to the new would take place . Consequently 10 days were elim inated from the month . Each date in the Gregorian calendar repeats in a cycle of 400 years. This means that every date in 1583 will be repeated in 1983 . On Friday, October 15, the calendar will mark its 400th anniversary with the completion of its first cycle.

Val. hy Chris Baron The Colonels recently lost their fifth and sixth games to MAC front runners Juniata and Delaware Valley . Two weeks ago, while most of the College was enjoying Fall Break, the Wilkes gridders fell to Juniata 34-7. The game was played before a crowd of only 250 people at Ralston Field. The Colonels stayed close to firstplaced Juniata until the final moments of the contest. Down 20-0, with eight minutes remaining, Reserve Quarterback Randy Rice took the Colonels 70 yards for a quick score. The touchdown on a I <>-vard aerial from Rice to Freshman Wingback Mike Higgins. Wilkes then got the ball back and put together another drive. With four minutes on the clock, the Colon, :ls found themselves at the ,uni- ata 30. The Colonels' hopes tor a victory were dashed when Juniata Defensive Back Grady Paul intercepted a Rice pass at the 20 and returned it to the Wilkes 14. A few plays later Juniata moved in for the score. The Colonels lost . more than the game against Juniata. Senior Ouarterback Wayne Lonstein and t resh man Tackle Mark Rhodes sustained injuries which will put them out for the season. Last Saturday Wilkes suffered its worst beating of the 82 campaign, 43 -0. at the hands of Delaware Valley. Wilkes never got on track against the powerful AJU?ies . The sputtering Colonel offense could only manage 15 3 total yards, while the Wilkes defense did little to stop the balanced Aggie attack. The remainder of the Colonels' schedule consists of Johns Hop- kins, F.D .U.-Madison and Albright. Unsworth said he knows that victory won't come easy for his battle-weary Colonels. He commented, "By God, we're hurting; our starting right wingback , left wing, fullback and quarterback are out.' ' Unsworth continued, '' If we are going to win, we are going to need a ... super effort out of everyone.'' At 15 straight, the Colonels currently have the longest losing streak among Division III football teams. Despite this fact, the Colonels remain confident. Senior Defensive Tackle Loris Lepri, who has seen four straight losing seasons at Wilkes , assessed his team 's chances: "I've always believed that you can win any game. Our problem is that we've been a firsthalf team . We' re going to have to be a second-half Learn as well.'' Bombs Away.

Lady Colonel Tennis Team Ends Season With Will by Ellen Van Riper The Lady Colonel tennis team ended its 1982 regular season the same way in which it began, with a victory. The Wilkes women blanked Baptist Bible 9-0 at Kirby on October 23. Earlier in the week on October 20. the Lady Colonels dropped a 4-2 decision to cross-town rival King's College. In this match the doubles competition was cancelled due to cold weather . The ladies ' final overall record is 2-10. The match apinst King 's was played at King s, and the Lady Colonels got off to a good start. They won the first two singles matches, and it appeared as if they would beat the Lady Monarchs for the second time this season. ln the first singles match Lady Colonel freshman Cress Shallers defeated Alice Novitsky in straight games, 7-5 and 6-3. The second duel saw another Wilkes freshman , Jennifer Bris- coe, easily hanclle her King's opponent. She defeated Patti Williams in two games by identical 6-1 scores. From then on, it was all downhill for Wilkes. King's won the . next four singles contests and the match . Lady Colonel Jackie Brown squared off with Lady Monarch Carrie Thorpe in the third singles. It was a close contest as Thorpe edged Brown 7-5 and 7-6. The fourth was also a rather close affair. Wilkes player Annette Winski faced Mary Ring, and she was defeated in two games, 7-6 and 6-4. The fifth singles was the longest battle of the afternoon . Lady Colonel Natalie Sodano and Lady Monarch Catherine Kaminski engaged in a three-game duel. Sodano took the first, 6-4, but Kaminski came back to take the second and third, 6-4 and 6-3. Against the Lady Defenders of Baptist Bible , the Lady Colonels had a chance to release their season long frustrat ions. Everybody came up a winner. Cn·ss Shallers started it off by handilJ defeating Carr of Baptist Bible in tow Bible in two games, 6-1 and 6-0. In the second event Jennifer Briscoe topped Decker in straight games, 6-1 and 6-4. The third ·singles was a bit more interesting as Trish Palys of Wilkes edged Campbell of Baptist Bible 7-5 in the first game and romped in the second, 5-1. The fourth, fifth , and sixth singles were totally dominated by the Lady Colonels. Jackie Brown defeated Lee in identical 6-1 games . Annette Winski almost shut-out Washburn 6-0 and 6-1 , and Natalie Sodano beat Cremall by this same score . In the doubles competition the Lady Colonel tandem of Shallers and Briscoe defeated the Lady Defender pair of Carr and Decker. Wilkes won the other two matches by default.

According to Bellairs, Morpath has been injured recently, and this has hurt the team. Tom is usually a potential fourth or fifth finisher for the Colonels.

Albright came from behind to defeat the Colonels by a 2-1 score while Coach Phil Wingert's squad forced a determined Susquehanna team into double overtime before falling to the Crusaders 1-0. · Against Albright, the Colonel hooters were sluggish and lacked intensity. Wilkes scored first at the 32: 11 mark of the first half on a Bob Walsh tallie. The goal result ed from a shot by Greg Trapani that was going astray until Walsh redirected it past the Albright keeper in the lower left-hand corner of the net. Just minutes after the goal, junior stopperback Drew Wilkens dispossessed an Albright midfielder apd ·unleased a 25 yard ballistic that was destined for the upper left-hand corner of the goal but a diving save by the Albright goalie prevented the score. The second half belonged to the Albright team who dominated the play as the Colonels lost their composure and failed to follow their plan of attack. Both Albright goals were . a result of defensive breakdowns. At 1 7: 10 of the second half, an Albright shot rebounded off Wilkes keeper , Bob Bruggeworth, and it was followed· up into the net by an unmarked oncoming Albright attacker. Less than 3 minutes later a Wilkes defender attempted to clear the ball from the penalty area· only to have it hit a flinching Albright player and the rebound defleeted into the Wilkes goal.

Lady Colonels Clinch MAC Tourney Berth by Karen Bo\'e The Wilkes volleyball team accomplished a lot over the past week and a half. The ladies played five matches and only lost one. During this time, the Lady Colonels won the Northeastern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference . They also won the local league, the NPWIAA (Northeastern Pennsylvania Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Association), and broke the record for most wins in a season with 13 overall. The old record was 12. The Lady Colonels started out the week with a home match against Luzerne County Community College on October 11 . The ladies stomped right over LCCC with scores of 15-3, 15-0, and 15 -0. Throughout the game .Wilkes relied upon service aces tu win the match. Jennifer Golding had an astonishing 15 service aces. Also, Ellen Van Riper did well on her serves; she had nine aces·. Cathy Lee added seven. Wilkes then travelled to Selingsgrove to meet Susquehanna Uni versity on October 14. Wilkes had played and defeated Susquehanna earlier in the season, but this time the Lady Crusaders were more than ready. ,, In a very close and intense match, Wilkes pulled out the match in the last game with a score of 16-14.· Wilkes was trailing 14-9, but held Susquehanna and went on to win. The scores were 8-15 (SU), 15 -7 (Wilkes), 4-15 (SU), 15 -10 (Wilkes) and 16-14 (Wilkes). Wilkes was forced to use almost . all of their hitters. Leading the way was Ellen Van Riper with 12 kills. Jennifer Golding contributed nine. Debbie Kramer aided the 'cause with eight, and rounding out the rest were Cathy Lee and Sally Fisher with seven each. Once again Jennifer Golding did her job on service aces with nine. Teresa Miller added seven. On October 20, Wilkes hosted cross-town rival King's College. The Lady Colonels rolled over King's with scores of 15-1, 15 -3, and 15 -10. This win gave the Lady Colonels the Northeastern Division of the MAC . Leading the way in kills were Cathy Lee and Ellen Van Riper with five apiece. Lee also added nine service aces to the cause · to match Jennifer Golding's total of nine. Wilkes hosted Baptist Bible on October 21. The Lady Colonels again had no trouble in handing the opposition a loss. This win gave I •till can't believe that I wi~I be representing the U aited State• at the World Ga.mes. ,, the Lady Colonels another title, the NPWIAA League. This time the Lady Colonels had very little on attack. Most of their points came from service aces . The scores were 15 -0, 15 -12 and 15 -12. The Ladies lost to Moravian College on October 23. The scores were 6-15, 9 -15 and 4-15. The Ladies were just plain tired and showed it in all of their play . The meagre attack was led by Jennifer Golding and Cathy Lee who had five kills each . Golding also ·added six service aces. Even though the Lady Colonels lost to Moravian College , they have accomplished a great deal more than any other volleyball team· has in the history of Wilkes College. They won, for the first time, their division of the MAC; this victory automatically qualifies them for the MAC playoffs to be held at Dickenson College on November 5 and 6. They also won the local league. title. This makes it three in a row. Finally , they broke the record for most wins in a season ." The overall record stands at 13-3.

In 1976, am original reduction of tuition costs for post-graduates of Wilkes was adopted. This reduction . allowed Wilkes graduates to return to the College to take additional courses or work toward another de.gree at half the tuition costs: A revision of this rule went into effect this past summer. A discount still exists. However, postgraduates must now pay threequarters of the tuition costs. Dean Ralston stated the revision was , ''the result of extensive consideration." The college's budget is directly dependent on ·tuition and the change, ~as necessary to ''make ends meet. The discount adjustment was Wlao'• ba~ed on economic reasons. Dean Ralston explained, ''fifty percent was a generous amount, and with the college trying to economize, it was felt that this discount might be too generous." The tuition costs are rising for everyone and Dean Ralston commented, "In all fairness, the .burden must be shared equally by all.'' John Meyers, director of Graduate and Part-time Undergraduate Programs, expressed his opinion as, "At seventy-five percent, it's still a break." A "fandfather clause" was not adopte into the revision. This means that there are no exceptions to the rule. It does not matter when the student graduated. For those returning primarily for graduate level courses, there is a $10 per credit discount. This policy has remained unchanged throughout the recent budget review. Wlao Offer• Senior ' · Student Leaders Recog~i~ion by John Finn Each year a publication entitled Who 's Who Among Students in America, Colleges and Universities gives re< :ognition to seniors who have demonstrated outstanding part\cipation and leadership in campus or community affairs. Seniors are encouraged to nominate themselves, but may also be nominated by another student, a department chairman, or an administrator. Nominations forms are available in the offices of the Registrar, the Deans and Housing. The deadline for all applications is 4: 30 p.m., Friday, October 29. This is not an academic achievement contest. The only academic requirement is a 2.0 cumulative average. Arthur Hoover, dean of students, said that, based on past competition, he expects to receive 80 to 100 nominations. A careful selection process is then necessary because the organization that conducts the contest sets a precise limit to the number of nominations each college may submit. This year, Wilkes may submit 33 student names. Hoover said he has not yet sel_ected the committee for reviewing the nominations, but it will include student representatives, most like! y, sophomores and juniors. The selection process is timeconsuming, the Dean said, and often requires several lengthy meetings in order to allow careful consideration of the nominations. Students who are selected to appear in Who 's Who can purchase the directory and may find it valuable when applying for jobs. �Pa e 2, _T h e Beacon, October 15, 1982 IRHC Meeti~a Commu Council To Hold Pa1ty Groups Join to Lower Tick·e Cot remarks were made , comments for the most part focused on negative aspects.

The ceremony lasted slightly more than an hour, and afterwards, stated Hoover, "all that was left were many beer bottles all over the parking lot. '' Hoover described the sight "damn sad." He also expressed his disappointment with the thought that Wilkes students can't get together for an hour without drinking and making a mess.

Noting that the Annex is in need of' 'substantial repairs and innovations,'' Wilkes management indicated that most cost-efficient remedy to the problem of building maintenance and repair on campus seems to be eliminating the problem by razing troublesome 'buildings. With repair costs skyrocketing and the College budget creaking under pressure, this seems to be the practical course to follow. Housed in the Conyngham Annex are the College Infirmary and the Student Gallery, Ceramic Studio, and Batik Studio of the Art Department. Betty Kwak, evening nurse in the Infirmary, noted · that for the past five years the location of the Infirmary has been ideal -- close to students and the main campus. But should (as has been proposed) the Infirmary be moved to the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center, she added, the Infirmary 's accessibility to the student body won't change. Furthermore, she explained a few of the maintenance problems the Infirmary staff has encountered at the Annex: a leak in the roof, troublesome oil heating, and sewage and gutter cloggings. Again . in light of a few racts, the decision to raze the Annex appears mon~and more practical. But practicality _does not always accompany foresight or vision. Though Betty Kwak did not appear perturbed about the proposed move, she did note that the Annex and the older mansions on campus distinguished Wilkes from rival institutionsMoreover, she noted that the Annex had a quiet and a peacefulness about it that students visiting the Infirmary found particularly comfort ing: "When students first come in, they don't want to stay. But once they're here, they don't want to leave," she said. More pronounced disagreement concerning the demolition proposal came from the Art Department, which depends on the Annex to house its Student Gallery, Batik Studio, and Ceramic Studio. Dr. Wil!iaqi Sterling, Chairman of the Art Department, explained that while the Batik Studio possibly can be absorbed into the art rooms in Stark,Learning Center, relocating the Ceramic Studio poses a_ problem. In addition, the kilns, said Sterling, that are needed to f1re ~he ceramics and also the clay works of sculpture classes are loca ted ID the garage area adjacent to the Annex, and if the Annex is demolished the fired works will have to -be shuffled back and forth from Stark to the kilns. The Student Gallery, which is used for senior art exhibits and student shows, might be moved to the third floor of the Conyngham Student Center; Sterling added that this might be "a reasonably good place for it." But, he added, the Department is "not happy," because it is currently utilizing the Annex building he~vi_ly. '_'Especially discouraging," noted Sterling, •\s that the ?u1lding ~ill be taken from us at this time, when the Department is IDVOlved ID aggressive campaigns to increase enrollment in the art program. The facilities are a selling point, and we're constricting ourselves if we eliminate those facilities.'' . ~uddenly , the_ question of practicality becomes more complex . But 1t 1s when one listens to the students' voices that one hears perhaps the most adament objections to the proposal. Henry E. Long . an art major and President of the Fine Arts Association of Wilkes College, c~~ment~d that_the thirty -member FAA wanted to circulate a pettt1on against the proposal, but scrapped the idea when its cause appeared hopeless. The Association was informed of the demolition plans some time ago, said Long, and was told that th e Annex lot would be converted to a "greenway," i.e., a walkway. Accord ing to Long, the art studios in Stark, which are themselves converted chemistry lab rooms, are crowded now, and that because windows in Stark are sealed there is no ventilation for paint fumes; consequently, the rooms in the Annex are vital. As for the Student Gallery, Long and other art majors ''don't like the idea of the move, but it's better than being put outside." Students of other majors also question the wisdom of the demolition proposal. Gene Chikowski, rn-chairman of the Student 50th Anniversary Committee, noted that in the course of his research for the anniversary celebration, he looked through m n y older Wilkes' yearbooks and newspapers. As a result, he said , "one thing that stands out the most for me is how many of the older buildings that were on campus are now demolished, and I really feel that the character of the College lies in its older buildings . It's a shame to see such beautiful pieces of architecture gone.'' After investigating the issue, one feels the need to ask what really is the most "practical" course to follow. Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dea n of Management , stated that the College members are "working together to come up with meaningful solutions." But in actuality, the "solutions" are only accomodations to already-formulated procedure : the demolition decision has been made , and it only remains for the Board of Trustees to give its official approval. If the proposal is passed, the Physical Facilities Committee will try to ascertain the most "appropriate use" for the vacated space. One is forced to ask if the most "appropriate use" is not to provide sick students with health care, to provide a setting where artistic and aesthetic sensibilities can develop in growing minds, and to provide a showcase where students can di splay the products of their artistic labor - the very "uses" of the building at this time. Or , perhaps, a parking lot (, more ''practical.'' It would be a shame to think so. , ........,....,,......... "Aye Fred! I think I found the· thermostat." O'Neill Addresses Student Go To the Editor: _ I feel it is necessary to comment publicly on the disappointing and destructive behavior of the Student Government in regard to publicity for the Wilkes College Theatre's recent production of Story Theatre . I write this Jetter not only as the director of Story Theatre , but also as a concerned member of the faculty and of the college community. College Theatre productions serve a triple purpose . As co-curricular activities, they are essential both to the education of Theatre Arts majors and minors and to the creative and professional growth of the Theat re Arts faculty . As extracu rricular activities, they provide .all Wilkes students, · regardless of their majors, with opportunities to take part in the theatre experience. As events open to the college and the community, theatre productions contribute to the cul tural life of the campus and the area. Consequently, I feel it is our duty to publicize the productions of Wilkes College Theatre as much as possible. Theatre Arts majors learn from the resulting audience feedback; students both in the shows and on production crews experience "live" theatre; the college benefits from the audience's cultural enrichment brought about by artisitic endeavor. Unfortunately , publicizing Story Theatre was made very difficult by the actions of various students at Wilkes, especially members of the Student Government. This is extremely distressing to me because such actions hurt not only Story Theatre, but detract from the vital artistic life necessary for the survival of any college campus . • The publicity crew for Story Theatre decided to publicize the show during production week by hanging flyers and balloons around the campus . Members o{ the Student Government, in a burst of responsible behavior befitting their elected (albeit, in some cases un opposed) positions, tore down and destroyed the flyers and balloons advertising the show. Many members of the cast of Story Theatre reported to me that S.G. representatives and, keep in mind that these are thei r elected officials who, in theory at least, represent student intersts -harassed them and informed them that no signs co ufd be hung on campus unless Student Government allowed it. I spoke to an S.G . leader, and I discovered the origi n for such publicity by decree only . First, S.G . is ,under the mistaken im'pressio'n 'rhat ~-"e ' n Curtain, a stuJl111 ,! c1b, and Wilkes College Theatre ·1'.e one and the same; thus, S.G. has jurisdiction over all theatre publicity at Wilkes . This is sheer nonsense. Student Government leaders ought to understand the difference between a club and a departmental activity; after all, S.G. does have access to a Student Handbook in which clubs are listed . Cue 'n Curtain is there, along with the Bar Bell Club, the Polar Bear Club,. Friends Forever and, low and behold, Student Government. Theatre Arts can be found in the Wilkes College Bulletin under the Department of Languages and Literature. Wilkes College Theatre presents four major productions each academic year; Cue ' n Curtain meets each Tuesday at 12 p.m . in the Reading Room of the Center for the Performing Arts. Each Wilkes · College Theatre production is directed by a member of the Theatre Arts faculty and designed by a member of the Theatre Arts facul ty; the officers of Cue 'n Curtain are Wilkes students elected each spring. Story Theatre had st udents in its cast and crew, and some of. them were from Cue 'n Curtain , but basic logic should demonstrate that Cue 'n Curtain is not the same as Wilkes College Theatre. Second! y, I was told in no un certain terms by an S.G . leader that the Student Handbook strictly for bids Wilkes College Theatre to staple any flyers of any kind to trees or to bulletin boards. Theatre fly ers or signs, if and when approved by S.G., can be thumb-tacked only to offical bulletin boards ; there is no regulation concerning balloons, but there should be! Wrong again, Student Government. There is nothing in the 1982-83 Student Handbook concerning publicity for any student club, let alone the Wilkes College Theatre Arts program. The ?nly,;1ritten :1t1e I could find was this: Campaign materials affixed to trees may· only betied or taped. No campaign materi als shall be nailed, thumb-tacked, or stapled to trees" (p. 46). The effort that goes into publicizing a theatre production at Wilkes may often rese mble a campaign, but even S.G . should have realized that nobody named "Story Theatre" was run ning for office, especially since no campaign was going on. I certainly do not condone illegally stapllDg posters to trees, but instead of tearing down posters, which cost_ money, and leaving the staples m the trees, which is bad for trees, Student Government memhers, if they really were so worried ,ibout the app~anmce·of the campus: merely needed to pick up a dial Wilkes College Theatre, form the faculty of their The crew of Story Theatre have moved the flyers ana everybody a little bit of mon~ whole lot of resentment. · Of course, none of this i that it was elected represe at Wilkes who ripped downa painted banner hanging on ering cafeteria, crumbled it heap, and left it in the dirt bush.

Let's com pare this to the cost of building a coal-fired plant of the same generating capacity. Its construction cost would be tremendous, about two-thirds of the cost of the nuclear plant, or $2.6 billion. So, logically, a coal plant should have been constructed, and $1.25 billion saved, right? Wrong! The initial savings in building a coal plant would soon be wiped out by the higher fuel cost of coal. The fuel cost of generating a ·kilowatt-hour of electricity in a coal plant is two to three cents, in a nuclear plant it is but five cents. This means that once on line, a nuclear power plant is four to six times less expensive to run than a . coal plant. With coal prices rising constantly, nuclear's operational ~vings. will become significantly higher m the next few years. With these savings, a nuclear power plant would erase the $1. 25 billion differ· ence in about six years, and , over the lifetime of the plant, a considerable savings would be achieved over a comparable coal plant.

That translates to 11 ,000,000 people being out of work. That is the largest number of people out of work, both as a percentage and an absolute number , since the beginning of World War II. President Reagan said this past week that some people would try an d make a "political foo tball" of the issue. Well, they should. The president then went on to sav that even though millions of peopie were suffering, his economic programs would work. This is the same sort of bizzare logic that was offered by James Baker, a White House aide and spokesman , this weekend on the nationally-televised This Week with David Brinkley.

There are probably no economists of any stature in the country who would agree with this statement, but , apparently, this is the view in the White House. Speaking specifically about the unemployment issue, Baker said that to put people to work repairing America was not a viable choice . Baker characterized em ployment which would put people to wqrk repairing bridges, roads , sewers and other public-works projects as short-term, dead end jobs with very little dignity. Do those in the White H ouse feel there is a great deal of dignity to be found in the unemployment line? Finally, on the economy, the . stock market literally went through the roof this past week, surpassing the magical 1000 point barrier. Economists and analysts on Wall Street, when asked to what one could attribute this phenomenom , replied either that they did not know, or that prices had sunk so low in the recent past that buyers were taking advantage of bargains. N o one - except of course the White Your cuz. I I • •• The Beacon . House - gave any indication that Reagan's economic policies had anything to do with the rally. If the market should fall next week, which it will, in all likelihood, due to profit-taking, the White House will probably attempt to attribute it to an insidious, pre-election plot by Democrats. In the face of staggering unemployment, a 30 percent drop in American plant output, an econom y with a negligible GNP growth, and a need to flip -flop on taxation policies, when will this administra tion admit that they haven ' t the faintest idea what is really going on with the economy, and forget about supply-sided economics which only benefit those in Ronald Reagan's tax bracket? We hope soon. In addition to claiming personal responsibility for the Wall Street bonanza this week, Reagan was active being "presidential" in other ways. Some new words and phrases were added to the White House To the Editor, Last Monday,we, the members of the volleyball team, were informed that the College's Athletic Director, John Reese, had decided to curtail our practice time in the gym from our regular two-1,our session to a one-hour session . We find this to be disrnrbing for a number of reasons , and believe that everybody associated with the College should be made aware of the situation. The shortened practice sessions will begin on October 20 , and they are, according to Mr. Reese, necessitated by the fact that the men 's and women 's basketball teams, the wrestling team, and the volleyball team will all be conducting practices. Granted, there is a premium upon gym time , but the new set-up is grossly unfair. As we understand it, •tlJ of the teatl)-S except for t~e ~olley- O:>ngratulations Dr. Fiester !

So, you see, a 'meltdown' was never really a possibilty, and when taken with the negligible radioiodine exposure to the atmosphere, this 'worst of possible' accidents wasn't really that terrible at all. Finally, the safety record of nuclear power looks even better when compared to coal. No one denies the grave environmental damage caused by coal, yet how can any respectable environmentalist, with the knowledge that coal is the only feasibile alternative, seek the elimination of nuclear power plants? Like their financial arguments against nuclear power, the safety arguments of nuclear foes oo not add up either. In this important debate, all we ask from the nuclear opponents are the facts and not media sensationalism. PP&L, with its lecture series, is doing its best to hold up its end of the bargain.

Agnew's ''effete snobs'' comment Dick Nixon's pushing his pres~ secretary. Reagan did not stop , there , however. Reagan now insists that thos~ of us who support a freeze or reduct ion in nuclear weapons are somehow un -American . This type of comment h as not been hea rd , spoken sincerely and in public, since the M cCarthy era. Lastly, Reagan went out on a limb to advance the stature of American foreign policy by publicly referring to the Polish government as a bunch of ''no-good, lousy bums.'' This type of talk may play well in Peoria, but it is the last thing that -should be uttered in public by the President of the United States. Mr. Reagan could do the country a favor by keeping such comments to himself.

Undoubtedly, Three Mile Island is pointed to as the most serious nuclear accident to ever occur, and one which exemplifies the 'danger' of nuclear pow· er. Well, here are the after accident facts: no radioiodine was found in any of the 130 water samples taken by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in the TMI area. No radioiodine was found in any of the soil or milk samples, but ei.i;it of the 15 2 air samples showed radioiodine present. Yet, the maximum activity was only one-fourth of what is permissible. At the height of the accident, the top of the core was actually exposed to air, thus beginning, in theory, the 'meltdown.' Look what happened. The uncovered top of the core heated to 2000 degrees Celcius which is well below the minimum 'meltdown' temperature of 5000 degrees Celcius. Therefore, for any dangerous degree of meltdown to occur, the TM! accident would have had to result in a 250 percent temperature increase over what the actual temperature 1 1- ., , • ·- .,· • ball team will be given two hours ot time . We find this ridiculous and absurd, because we are the only group which will be actually in season and competing. All of the other teams do not start their seasons until late November or early December. This curtailment of our practice time will be occurring at a most inopportune time for us. We have all but qualified for the MAC Championship Tournament which will be held November 5 and 6 at Dickinson College in Carlisle, so we will need those precious hours to properly prepare ourselves . There is usually never enough time to begin wtih , so cutting our time in half could be detrimental to our cause . For the past month we have graciously shared the gym with the wrestling team on Monday and Wed nesday nights, for we believe; that they too. have a right I ' ·and' a need to practice. We are not oblivious to the rigorous demands of Division I intercollegiate competition. However, we also believe that such respect should be reciprocated, despite our Division III standing . It is unfortunate that Mr. Reese obviously does not hold such respect for our right and need to practice . All athletes, be they men or women, are entitled to this consideration . It can also be presumed by this absurd action that Mr. Reese does not respect us nor our achievement so far this season . One might even say that he does not have respect for women's athletics as a whole. Thank you . Sincerely, The members of the 1982 Lady Colonei Volleyball Team 'I I )j 1 �There she is ...

Herpes Simplex Virus is highly contagious . recurrent and incurrable. More than half a million cases are reported ·each yea r. One out of everv five sexuallv active ad ults al· readv has it. ancf one o ut " f ('\'trv 15 teen a~ers will contract it. Unlike gonnorrh ea and syph · ilis, which are caused by a bacteria and can be cured through the use of antibi otics, herpes is a virus and has no cure . Herpe$ is classi{ied into two types : Type I usually ca uses infections above the waist. fo r example, around the mouth and eyes , and Type II which is generally responsible for genital infections. H,1\vever, possibly because of oralgenital practices - 15 percent of HSV oral infections result from T ype II virus , and 15 percent of all genital infections are caused by Type I. Onl y laboratory tests, such as a tiss ue culture, can distinguish between the two. Direct sexual contact is not needed to contract herpes. HSV can be transmitted through contact with objects which have been in dire<'t contact wi th the virus, suc h as . towels, toothbrushes, ea ting ut en sils and, yes, toilet seats. Thi s ca n , however, only occu r when the virus first comes out of its incubation period or cj_ormancy. An HSV outbreak takes place in three st ages: prodome, vesicle and crusting --over stage , and sex ual act ivity should be curtai led duri ng this period. · An initial attack of HSV takes place after a two-to-20 day incu bation period. The prodome stage begins when the patient feels a sensation of pressure: a dull pulselike throb, an intermittent prickly pain , a tingly sensation or a droning ache. Pain can be more severt-. in cluding pain shooting through the thighs or a tingling · sensation in buttocks. These signal viral replication and are a warning th at a herpes outbreak has begun and the need to cease all intimate contact in that area. Within a few hours, 10 to 20 flui d fill ed blister-like vesicles appea r at the si te where HSV has entered the body. In genital HSV , lesions may dot the vulva , vagina, ureth n•. peremeal , bladder , buttocks , peni~ . _ thighs, scrotum or rectum. Onset of the disease may also cause ch ills , fever , malaise and headaches . The lesions last 14 to 28 days during the initial outbreak and heal without scarring during the crusting-over stage. Cleanliness and dryness are vital to rapid healing. Creams and ointments should not be used on the lesions. Beside cutting off the drying effec t , such treatment could spread the virus to a larger area , especially if they ' re applied with a circular motion. The virus spreads when mucous membranes, the genitalia or any breaks in the skin comes directly in contact with the virus to other or another li ving· host. A patient can spread the virus to other parts of his own body .

In vited will be Student Government representatives from Wilkes, Misericordia, Scranton University, Marywood College, Keystone, Luzerne County Community Col lege, Penn State (Lehman, Scran ton, and Hazelton campuses), Baptist Bible and Lackawanna Junior College. According to Chikowski, the idea arose from discussion at a meeting held by Jay Tucker, Student Center director, last year : "The long-term effects of this meeting," Chikowski contin ued.

The Social is still in the planning stages. Chikowski added that the Committet! is organizing other · Student Center theme parties in conjunction with the junior and senior classes. Also, the Student Anniversary Committee plans to help with the senior class First Annual Admiral Stark Clam Bake, to be held in November. "Probably the major event being planned by the Committee," continued Chiko'l'{ski, '' is the 50th Anniversary Cinderella Ball." The Ball, patterned after the Wilkes' Cinderella Balls of the past, will be a formal affair held in December at the Master Host Inn . The evening will include dancing, a prime rib dinner, and an elegant setting : the Host pool and waterfall will be part of the grounds and will be decorated with floating candles for the evening. The ticket price, Chikowski noted, will be surprisingly low : approximately $13.00 per couple. The low ticket price, he added, is possible because of the $1500 donations given by Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council respectively to reduce the cost of the Ball. "we're very grateful for the cooperation of CC and IRHC thus far," he said. Cindy Bonham and Andrea Fronzoni are also helping to organize the event. Chikowski also noted that Mary Romanick is currently taking pictures at all events on campus that are related to the anniversary celebration, and that these pictures will be compiled into a Photo Album which will be presented to the College at the end of the year. Only one or two copies of the Album will be made. Any suggestions for activities are being welcomed by the Committee, Chikowski noted and "if anyone has any ideas for celebrating the College's 50th Anniversary, see meor Sheller We're looking for suggestions.'

The score was 21-36 . The loss evened the overall season record at 4-4. The women members of the team also saw action last Saturday, but it was not a very challenging meet . The Lady Colonels won by forfeit over College Misericordia. Three runners ran for the women. Jane Stapleton completed the threemile course in 24 : 13, and she was followed by Lynn Roberts who was clocked at 2 5:03, and Michelle Herschack who crossed the line at 26:47. The top finisher for the men was, once again, freshman sensation George Hockenbury who came in at 26: 17 . He finished second overall. lo recent meets Hockenbury has become the most consistent and best Colonel runner. He was a first-place finisher along with David Levandoski and Tom McGuire against Lycoming. In the team's narrow loss to Baptist Bible, he again crossed the line first. He is a quality runner, so more such performances can be expected throughou_t the remainder of the season. S 8 I § § § § g S §8 § § g 8 The second Colonel finisher was Tom McGuire witli a time of 26:37. This was good for fifth overall. All season long , McGuire has been a steady second or third runner for Coach Bellairs and the team. David Levandoski was the third Colonel finisher, and his time of 27: 07 placed him eighth overall . The fourth and fifth Colonel placers were Greg Guinn and Tom Morpath . Quinn finished 10th overall with a time of 28 :02, and Morpath ended up 11th at 28: 14. Coach Bellairs was extremely pleased by the performance of Tom Morpath . A freshman, he cut a full 50 seconds from his best course time, and Bellairs believes that Tom r;µi his best race of the season . His improvement is making the battle for the all-important fifth spot very interesting. Such team competition can only benefit the team as a whole, for the runners will be pushing each other to higher peaks of excellance. Other finishers for the Colonels were Joe Dill, Chuck Harris, Mark Murphy and Owen Murphy. Dill finished 13th overall with a time of 29 : 18, and Harris was clocked at 29: 24 and crossed the line 14th. Mark was timed at 29:34 to finish 16th, and Owen came in 18th with a time of 30:23 . Coach Bellairs noted that the outcome of the race was slightly affected by two Moravian runners who cut the course. Even though he was aware of the infraction, Bcllairs did not lodge a complaint.

She commented that the Lady "out to hang our hides on the wall.

However, that all changed last week . Evidence of a new offensive and defensive cohesiveness are the ladies' recent victories over Delaware Valley and Marywood. These two triumphs raised the overall season record to 4-3-3. The Lady Colonels traveled on October 5 to face a Delaware Valley team which . according to Coach Gay Meyers , was "out to hang our hides on the wall.' ' The Lady Aggies were undefeated, 3-0-1, and Wilkes is always a big game for them. They have never beaten the women from Wilkes. Despite playing on a high, grassy and slow field, the Lady Colonels continued their dominance by win- ning 3-0. The first score occurred five minutes into the game. After several Lady Colonel shot attempts on the Aggie goal, Diane Hall picked-up the ball at the top of the circle and passed to Debbie Cometa, 1 who put it in off the goalie's pads. The second tally happened approximately 10 minutes later after the women had had several corners in a row. This time Debbie Cometa intercepted the ball as it was coming out of the circle. Her shot attempt was blocked, but Jean Dougherty was there to put it in. Cometa was credited with an assist, and the goal put the Lady Colonels up 2-0 at the half. · In the second half, the women · from Delaware Valley came right back to pressure the Lady Colonels. The Wilkes defense thwarted the surge and kept the opposition from penetrating consistentlv . Defensive players KarenJohnson. Sharon Martenson and Linda Dayer were key players in this effort. The Lady Colonels netted their third goal 22 minutes into the second half on a corner. Diane Hall drove to the goal and passed to Jean Dougherty, who put it away. For the game, the women had 19 shots on goal, as compared to Delaware Valley's 12. On corners, Wilkes ended up with a slim edge of eight to seven. Lady Colonel goalie Tracy Kelly did a very good job according to Coach Meyers. She made seven saves for the game. Coach Meyers commented about her team's victory, " I was very worried about Delaware Valley, because I knew that they were playing well and are always up for Wilkes. It is not an easy task to adjust to their field. The grass is so high and thick that you have to change the whole style of play, and its a different tempo game. But our people adjusted well. Our attacking line looked good; they consistenly cut and supported each other. The defense was tough, and Tracy Kelly made some great saves ." Against Marywood, the ladies really put it all together. Marywood had been playing well and had a good team, but they could not stop a very determined Lady Colonel attack. It was a textbook game for the Wilkes women. The offense was able to push the ball past the opposition and capitalize on defensive mistakes. On the occasions when Marywood was able to mount an offensive attack of its own, Lady Colonels Tracey Day, Karen John son and Linda Sayer, according to Coach Meyers, "stopped them dead in their tracks." Coach Meyers substituted as much as the rules allow, but even this did not adversely affect the Lady Colonel attack. The women -ended up with a 7-1 win. Four minutes and 45 seconds passed before the Lady Colonels scored their initial goal. Defensive standout Karen Johnson tried her hand at offense and scored from the top of the circle off an assist from Jean Dougherty. At 11 :03 of the half, the Lady Aggies scored their lone goal of the day to tie at 1-1 . After this it was all Wilkes. The Lady Colonels went on a tear and scored three more goals before halftime. The first came at 19: 3 7 when Jean Dougherty tallied off a direct shot on goal by Debbie Cornela. At 25 :07 Sue Strenkert drove a , deflection off the goal_ie'~ pads into the nets to put the Lady Colonels up 3-1 Near the end of the half at 33 :48, Diane Hall scored on a corner. She was assisted by Sue Strenkert. The second half was more of the same, as the Lady Colonel offense continually pressured the Marywood defense. At 10: 05 of the half Diane Hall scored again on a corner, and Sue Strenkert once again was credited with the assist. This pair teamed up for a third time at the 15: 15 mark with the same results. Hall scored a goal on a corner off a Strenkert assist. The final Lady Colonel tally came at 23 :00 into the half. Michelle Weiss took advantage of a deflection off the Marywood goalie's pads to drive the ball into the nets. For the day, the women had 18 attempts on goal as compared to Marywood's five. As far as corners are concerned, Wilkes totally dominated, 21 to seven. Coach Meyers was very pleased with the scoring tandem of Hall and Strenkert, who had great games on attack . They worked the right side of the field well, and had perhaps their best game of the season. She was also pleased by the second effort rush of Jean Dougherty, Debbie Cometa and Susan DeFrates . The Lady Colonels' overall season record of 4-3-3 belies the actual talent of .and the achievement by them so far this season . Testimonv to this fact are the results of the first NCAA Division III national rankings. As of Oct . 6, the women are ranked 16 in the nation, and this is the first time that a Wilkes College field hockey team has ever been in the rankings. The women will now be entering the toughest part of their season . So far they are 2-1 in the MAC overall (the loss was to Elizabeth town which is ranked number two in Division III), but the last five games are all MAC. The ladies have yet to play any teams in their division of the MAC. Upcoming are Lycoming, Susquehanna and Scranton, and these games will decide the MAC tournament fate of the Lady Colonels. Lady Colonels Defeat 1\1isericordia To Record Their Ninth Victory Of '82 by Karen Bove The Lady Colonel spikers only played one match last week. They hosted C.ollege Misericordia last Thursday. It turned out that this match was one of the most intense and exciting matches played against the Wilkes'. volleyball team this season. Before the game against Miseri, the Lady Colonels were supposed to travel to Delaware Valley and play the Aggies of Delaware Valley, but many players had trouble getting out of their classes and tests scheduled on that day. Since the volleyball team is small this year, Coach Doris Saracino had no choice but to call Delaware Valley's coach, explain the problem and cancel the game. Misericordia came to the gym on Thursday all fired-up and burning with the determination to try and hand Wilkes its third loss. It looked • like that was going to be the case when Miseri took the first game 15- 9. Misericordia was hitting all over the court with its powerful hitters which astonished Wilkes' defense. Wilkes had to do something, and that was to start pounding Miseri's defense and start hustling. The Lady Colonels got together and took the last three games and the match . Scores were 15-13, 15-6, and 15-13. As a total, Wilkes had 57 kills (spikes) in 143 attempts, as compared to Miseri's 27 kills out of 99. Wilkes had not only four hitters this time,lmt five, with the addition of Debbie Kramer who proved that she can smash the ball. Not only was Kramer doing the sets, but she contributed 11 kills. The other four hit- ters were: Jennifer Golding with 14 whomping kills; Ellen Van Riper and Sally Fisher each pounded 10 kills; and Cathy Lee contributed to the cause with 9 kills. In service aces it was Jennifer Golding and Terry Miller with seven apiece. Cathy Lee balanced out her abilities by adding 6 aces. Totally, Wilkes had 25 service aces and their opponent had 20 service aces. With this win, the team's overall record is 9-2. They are still undefeated in the North-eastern Division of the Middle Atlantic Conference with a 3-0 record . The only match left for this division is against crosstown rival King's College. That game is scheduled for next Wednes- · day, Oct. 20, at Wilkes at 7 p .m. �BEA CON SPORTS WilkesCollege Student Newspaper Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Vol.XXXV No. 7 October 15, 1981 Hooters Snap Losing Strea • The two year, 28-game winless streak came to an end on Oct. 6 for the soccer team as they upended Juniata in a very physical match by a 2-1 score. Both Colonel goals were set up by Scot Lefebre's 40 yar_d throw-ins. Senior goalie Bob Bmggcworth leaps high to make a spccta.cular save against the Moravian GrcyhoWlds. These throws were relayed to Jim Hancharick who tallied his first two goals of the 1982 season. Also receiving assists on the plays were Greg Losier and Drew Wilkens. Elated senior co-captain , Lefabre commented, '' Afte'r suffering through that 28 game winless streak I hap almost forgotten what it felt like to win. It is &reat to experience that feel ing agai n. ' Although much satisfaction and pleas ure was gained by the victory, the Colon els played a m uch better brand of soccer against the Moravian Greyhounds in front of a very enthusiastic Homecoming crowd. By the end of the second overtime over 200 spectators were on hand. Wilkes had set out to avenge last year 's 11 -0 . defeat suffered at Moravian during their Homecom ing. This year's match ended in a thrilling 1-1 draw. Moravian scored at 21 :28 of the first half as their striker beat Colon el, Bob Bruggeworth, on a shot along the endline that scored between Bruggeworth and the near pole. The Greyhounds ball control allowed them to dominate much of , the action in the first half. During intermission, the coaching staff adjusted the Colonel strategy to off-set the Greyhounds' style of play . Assistant Coach Kelly Noseworthy explained, "They _p!a;:«:d into our hands in the second hall. Our continual tracking and defensive pressure too k its toll on them , and Moravian lost their patience and composure. We took them out of thei r pattern of play .'' Wilkes knotted the score in the second half when freshman Greg Trapani received a Lefebre cross at the 25 yard line and sent a blooping ball over the Greyhound keeper . . Although the visitors dominated the statistics with 33 shots to the Colonels' seven , many of their shots were not of a dangerous nat ure. Keeper 8ruggeworth recorded 20 saves during the game. Corner kicks were five to three in favor of th.e Greyhounds . . This year the defense has only allowed 14 goals compared to the 4 3 relinquished last year against ~he same opponents . A major factor has been the consistent play of fullbacks Tim Williams , Drew Wilkens, Paul O'Leary and Chris Fox. Backing up these fullbacks is Bruggeworth in goal. Bruggeworth is continually supplying numerous saves as well as long attacking releases. " After going 0 -14 last season, it is great to be a part of a team that is capable of winning,'' remarked sophomore Tim Williams.

Co-ed Headed For Nationals by Ellen Van Riper A national championship. It is a dream which few athletes are ever fortunate enough to have the chance to fulfill , and it is an elusive reality which only a chosen few are able to achieve. Beth Latini, a freshman member of this year's Lady Colonel volleyball team, has earned the opportunity to fulfill this dream . No, the volleyball team is not so fortunate; it can be considered as her ' other' sport . Beth and her partner Tammy Hajjar will be traveling to the state of Washington to compete for the national women's amateur racquetball doubles title. The competition will be held October 21 -24. The winners here will move on to London for the world championships. Racquetball is a far cry from volleyball and softball ( the other sport she hopes to participate in at Wilkes), and her story is both interesting and amazing. I would be tempted to entitle it ' 'The Beth Latini Story; Born to Be a Racquetball Player, Volleyball Player, ... etc." Her relationship with the sport of racquetball began when she was 13 years old. Bob DiMarco, her father's cousin, opened the King of Prussia Racquetball Club in her home town of King of Prussia, Pa . On the staff at the time was the United States Racquetball Association (USRA) Pennsylvania chairperson, who served as the general manager, and two professional players. Beth credits DiMarco with getting her hooked on the game and one of the pros, Francis Davis, with teaching it to her. At first racquetball was just another sport to play, but it soon became serious business . After one month of playing, Beth won the USRA Regional Girls 14 and under championship. From then on,it was one success after another in both singles and doubles competition. Some of the highlights of her sinf les career have been the Women s Professional Racquetball Association (WPRA) B Division title in New York, a fourth place finish at the Center City Spots Club Tournament in Philadelphi, and a first place finish at the Newtown Racquetball Club Championships. · In doubles she has had success with both Tammy and her mixed doubles partner Bob Davis. Beth and ~ob have won both the King of Prussia Best of the East Tournament and the in-house open. Beth has teamed with Tammy to capture the title at that same inhouse open and to most recently win the 1982 Pennsylvania Stl!te Doubles Championships Women ' s A Division title. This, according to Beth , has been the "biggest ' · accomplishment of her career, for it earned her the all expenses paid to Washington state and the national championships. Athletics have always been a focal point of Beth's life, and she is what · might be called a ''natural athlete.'' She is a graduate of Archbishop John Carrol High School for Girls, and there she played both soccer and softball. Beth was one of the pioneers of the school's first ever soccer team , and she earned a varsity letter in both her jnuior and senior years. She played softball all four years and received a letter all four . In her jun ior year Beth was a co-captain of the team, and in her senior year she was named as the thirdbaseman of the All-Catholic Second Team. So where do Wilkes College and vollevball fit in? There were three factors which influenced Beth to come to Wilkes ; tl}e fact that the present general manager of the King of Prussia Racquetball Club is a Wilkes graduate, Coach Nancy Roberts and the softball team , and the reputation of the Biology Department. The last tiine Beth played organized volleyball was in seventh and eighth grade (she naturally made All-Star both years), so she came to the Lady Colonel team relatively inexperienced. She decided to give it a try. because she wanted to experience upper level volleyball and mas· ter th e skills . the faculty whom she describes as professors who treat students like individual people and who have the ability to relate to students on a human level. Beth call~ the volleyball team "one big family," and she was instantly adopted the first day of practice. Although she does not . play very much, Beth is still a crucial member of the team. She is a buoyant and exuberant person, and she keeps the team's moral afloat. Her humor and happy-go-lucky attitude always keeps the team on an emotional high . She also enters the game in key situations wh~n a certain Sports Editor has had difficulty in serving the ball. Beth always responds to the pressure and sends over a dynamite serve. She says that she thrives on pressure , and the more there is the better. Her optimism and exuberance are evident in her comments about the team . Beth says that the team ''plays so well that we can compensate for someone having a bad day. There is always .someone who picks up the slack .'' Accordi!).g to Beth, the team relationship among the members and the willingness and desire will bring the Lady Colonels to the top. So far, Beth has been impressed by both the College and the team. She is a real "people person," and it has been the people associated with the College who have impressed her most. Chief among these are ·Right now Beth considers her education to be her number one priority. Racquetball is an outlet for an over abundance of energy . In the future Beth hopes to find success in her chosen career and to help others.

Marge LeBlanc, President of IRHC , mentioned at October 3 IRf IC meeting that she felt the hall pres idents were not interested enough in creating a ·constitution from which they could work and that there is a lack of enthusiasm for working toward making the council a viable organization on campus. The idea for a hall president's council was generated during the l 981 -1982 school year by the then IRHC president, Bill Lourie. It was originally designed· as an organization in which hall presidents could share ideas for fund raisers, organize mutual dorm functions, give one another ideas for dorm activities and attention, and he stated that "the council had to take a backseat.'' A constitution was never completed. Another problem which presented itself was the change in leadership within the council. Lourie reported that Leigh · Majors was chosen as an RA midway through the academic year, and Bob Bruggeworth stepped into the position of director of the council. Bruggeworth was then chosen as an RA for the 1982-1983 school year. LeBlanc reported that the next director was not elected by the presidents. At the beginning of this semestei:, IRHC set out to recognize the Hall Presidents' Council. Le Blanc stated at an early IRHC meeting that it lacked efficiency and the ability to make decisions, and that the first thing on the agenda for the council would be the drafting of a constitution. Since that time 1 the first meet- perhap~ set up brother and sister in,11 o f the co unc il was held and halls. The, e are activities IRHC doesn't have the time to control.

The committee is working with both to raise funds for specific causes within the organizations. · A fund raiser for the American Diabetes Association will coincide with Diabetic Month in Novemher. The purpose will be to raise mci'ney to help send diabetic children to camp. The committee hopes to involve some of the children from the association in the fund raising activity , as well as , students from Wilkes College. One objective the committee is working to achieve benefits students by Nadine Wieder A new committee has recently been added to the Student Government of Wilkes College. This committee, known a,s the Community Committee, came into existence this past summer. The committee is designed to bring the community closer to the college , each providing help, in some way, to the other. At the present time , the Community Committee is trying to set some basic goals or objectives for itself. They are also trying to expand on the ideas already generated on ways to bring Wilkes closer to the community. Rickard noted a definite trend toward stiffer campus sanctions , in part because of increased violations. " It 's also part of a general conservative swing in the general population," he said. " People are more concerned with safety and the increase in crime. Colleges aren't immune to that t rend.'' In addition to imposing stiffer penalties, colleges are starting to simplify their jidicial · processes, the study incicates .

According to Dr. Shaw, if the Annex closes, the Art Department will need to re-schedule classes. "They' re not happy about losing it (the Annex) but they recognize that we don't have much choice," Dr. Shaw said.

"We're all working togethetto come up with a meaningful solution," he stated. Dr. Shaw explained that the demolition of Conyngham Annex has been part of the long-range plans at Wilkes.

Student Government President Elaine Kerchusky pointed out that a lower ticket price would make it easier on everyone because the dance is a formal and men will have to rent tuxedos. It was suggested that the Execu tive Council create an itemized budget which will approxima t e what IRHC will be doing this year and how much money it plans to spend on each activity.

Home : "the abiding place of the affections, '' says Webster, ' 'a place of refuge and rest . '' Coupled with a certain verb form the noun becomes a word of ineffable charm: homecoming." Pronounce it slowly, swallow the cavernous hollows of its three resonant syllables , hear the calming "Ohm" chant of the ancients at its very core. Homecoming. Ironically, the almost mystical word has become associated with the rituals of academia, performed year after year with the reverent observation usually reserved for saints' holidays. Each year, we of the reserved, erudite university community parade through the streets waving our clan colors and crested banners; as if heirs to the pagentry of Camelot, we proudly march down the paved roadways to the sho11ts of trumpets, and we nod benevolently to the populace that cheers us on. And while the rarly morning is reserved for spectacle, the afternoon is spent in games. We send our ''warrioi:s'' upon a mock ?attlefield to wage war with a mock enemy, to uphold an ideal, a code, a name - all of it fiction, all of it fantasy. We crown a king and a queen, a lord and lady of the dream, and at night, we revel in the freedom of the dance, our kinship once again declared , our loyalty to the institution affirmed, our place in the home intact. And yet, though the dream is, as are-all dreams, fantasy, the homecoming is very real. The lacuna between fact and fiction is, for a time , bridged , and the spectacle and games foster a spirit of fellowship and camaraderie in spectators and participants that is valuable even because it is rarely so openly expressed . The fine-drawn lines of conflict, where they exist between campus factions or individuals, for a time become nebulous and surmountable in the glow of the dream; there is little room for trepidation or anomosity in the College's open-armed embrace. For a time, indeed, "we are such stuff as dreams are made on.'' For Wilkes College, this year's Homecoming will be unique. It will be a time for students and faculty alike to quietly reflect on the achievements of the many men and women who through fifty years have dedicated themselves to giving life and nourishment to the College we now celebrate. It is a time for assessment and evaluation a time to plan for the future so that the College, and all the dreams it embodies, may continue and thrive and it will be a proud time for the College, a time when faculty, admi~istration, and students can look on a history of conflicts and setbacks, triumphs and innovations, and be proud to be coming home again. To all members of the administration, faculty, and student body, The Beacon wishes a truly "fantastic" Homecoming. Alumna Disputes 'Debutante' Concept To the Editor: I have read with interest many of your articles in past issues of The Beacon . l like your approach. as it often agrees with mine. But I found "Editor's Corner" of September 17 a different matter. In particular, I was put off by the phrase '' ... the way a Swarthmore debutante would hold an off-the-rack blouse ....:... with obvious distaste.'' The women at Swarthmore have been called many things - intel · lectuals, eggheads , ,grind~ and many less flatter.ing names. But I would have thought that the concept of "dehutantP" had faded away at about the time Clark Gable left the silver screen . If we admit for argument's sake the existence of a :::.warthmore deb utante. her reaction to the purcha~e of. an "off-the-rack blouse" would not be distaste. Rather, she would be pleased to · have bought her clothes at a bargain so that she could use the saving ... perhaps to augment her library.

For the fir st time in its histor y, our greatest neighbor to the north, Canada , in its new con st it ut ion , guarantees freedom of the press to all its people. Thi s freedom belongs to all the people in both countries - from the largest daily to the smalles t weekly, urban, suburban, rural, it makes no difference.

Geo rge J . Measer P resi dent Na tion a l Newspa per Associat ion Abortion Issue Won't Go Away To the Editor: It will be interesting to read side by side the columns " Conservative Comment' ' and ' ' Proper Perspective ." Ahout the first I shall only say that I hope the authors do not spend all their time trying to be snide and cute. By that I can only be embarrassed . By the liberal col umn, however , I doubt not that I shall be often horrified. Such was the case today as I read Mr. Watkinson' s comments on abortion. This issue will not go away, despite his fond hopes. His calling pro-hfe people nasty names will not help his case, either. He cannot get around the fact that abortion is certainly the premeditated, deliberate killing of an innocent human being. To make a comparison : The liberals profess such a respect for life that many of them want to take away the guns of law abiding citizens to prevent potential killings by accident or in moments of passion. Yet they condone, yes, they even want our tax money to pay for, near! y two million actual , premeditated killings a year. Such is their respect for life. Consistent, isn't it? Mr. Watkinson defeats his own argument in his zeal to prove how much anguish and soul-searching an a__bortion brings about. He admits it is a difficult decision for a woman to make and that the doctors who do the job don ' t want to do it again (one wonders why in that case they don't just quit). Such a pleasant experience it must be for both. f guess it can't be wrong if it feels so right. Mr. Watkinson accuses the prolife people of lacking compassion and even of "harrassing " women who don ' t want to have abortions. W e do not respect women ' s rights , he says. I wonder who has compassion on the millions who have been slaughtered merely for being unwanted . Many of these innocents have been women. Yet the killing continues . So much for women's rights. Liberals have a lapel button which reads , " The Moral M ajority B neither. " M aybe we need a simil~ button about ''Proper Perspect· ive ."

Communications In Biology De yssey Dear Editor:' On Sunday, September 26, th e Biology Department of Wilkes College held its fourth biannual BioDialogue Day . Bio-Dialogue Day is coordinated every other year for the junior and senior Biology majors in an effort to enhance communication between faculty and students . The entire biology facult y as well as over 40 students were present throughout the day. The participants car-pooled in a caravan to Camp Kresge, in White Haven, Pa . at approxiamtely 10 a.m. Dr. Les Turoczi , chairman of the Biology Department . gave into· ductory remarks as well as a format for the day . Groups were formed and the "brain-storming" tech nique introduced. The body then recessed for a delicious lunch . Afterwards, four groups went through a well-planned series of activities in cluding snake hunts, botany walks. volleyb.all games, and the all important "bull session." In the session. the students in each group utilized the previously practice "hrainstorming" technique to compose a list of issues or problems within the departmental curriculum that room for improvement.

This gam far outweighs the meager $18 billion in budget cuts that the Congress has approved . As a simple fact , the Reagan program has helped the vast majority of the working poor, The large amount of business failures we are currently experiencing is often blamed on the Reagan Administration and high interest rates. Well, one out of two isn ' t bad. You see, high interest rates are the primary culprit, while Reagan's fault is negligible. Interest rates were _at 21 percent the day Ronald Reagan took office. Businesses borrowing at that time were fo rced to agree to this ridiculous rate. Now , a year or so down the road, the payments on th~e loans are coming due, and busmesses are finding it impossible to pay back what they owe plus 21 percent interest. The obvious result of this is current THE WHITE IIOUSE WAS!

But, as we know, there are other nations where the free flow of news is thwarted by governments fearful of letting people know the truth.

In . fact , he has brought interest rates down to 13 percent, and the rates should fall even lower due to the low inflation rate. This is a :-iecessary prerequisite for recovery . Summarizing the other econom ic statistics, it appears the president isn ' t doing all that badly. Real individual purchasing power is up for the first time in a long time , the Gross National Product is expected to rise at a better than three percent rate during the fourth quarter and for next year, and Jimmy Carter's famed "Index of Misery" is down from 20 percent to 15 percent, a decrease of 25 percent in less than two years. All this information tends to make one skeptical of the prophets of economic doom, who blame Reagan with everything from unemployment · to the higher rate of intentional walks in Major League baseball. Besides, what real alternatives do the Democrats have to the Reagan program? They don't have any. Perhaps , they can blame that on Ronald Reagan too .

Taha 1982 Proper Perspective by James Watkinson The current administration recently decided that it was time to crack down on the scofflaws who have been refusing, and continue to refuse to register with the Selective Service. This is especially ironic in ligh_t of the fact that Ronald Reagan, durmg the 1980 campaign, stated that he felt that there was no need for registration. It would appear, then, that the administration has done a 180 degree turn on an issue · that ostensibly helped to put it into power. Th.e fact that, with the current diaster in the economy, enlist· men_t and reenlistment rates are up as high as 11 7 percent in some areas does_ n?t s~m to be able to sway this admm1strat1on from its blatantly militaristic course . The convictions came after the Justice Department decided that there were just too many men refusing t? register. In short, they were bemg made fools of and this administration does not take kinclly to these sorts of expression of individualism and civil liberty. Both of the plantiffs in these re· cent cases stated that they had refused to register on religious groundstheir religious convictions would WCLH B&AClub Commends New Members Joins Fraterniy WCLH has just completed its first testing session .

Unfortunately, the courts decided that a person's religious beliefs cannot - preclude their registering with the Selective service . This would seem to be at odds with both the Constitution and the "conscientious objector" status laws, but that did not bother the judges involved, or the administration. The government seems to have forgotten the lessons of Vietnam. They seem to have forgotten what can occur when the population at large does not support public policy. W!1at is brewing here may soon brmg the Reagan administration and the country as a whole back to real· ity. We do not need registration and we certainly do not need tospenJvast sums of money prosecuting those, .vho because of their religious beliefs, refuse to register. It can only lead to civil disobedience on a grand scale and Justice Department expenditures on an equal scale. Our politicians have been stating for quite a few years that we are at parity with the Soviets. They recently have unveiled the Rapid Deployment Force as the cure-all for limited response situations. In short, except at budget time, the body politic within this country seems to feel quite good about our military capabilities - both to initi· ate conflict and to respond. Why then does the administration insist upon following this fiscally foolish and morally reprehensible path?

They've become part of the American way of life. Each weekday, tens of millions of Americans of all ages sit in front of their televisions, eyes. glued to the screen, waiting impatiently to find out who sabotaged whose plan, who kidnapped whom, who is having whose baby, who's divorcing whom to marry whose ex ... Soaps have become big business. They've gone from being obscure, ,low-budget productions to multimillion dollar enterprises whose star characters have adorned th~ covers of virtually every major magazine. Accomranying the increase in popularity o daytime serials is an increase in the amount of criticism they and their viewers receive. Many believe continual, heavy viewing of soaps adversely affect the viewer, causing him or her .to become introverted or live in a fantasy world.'' According to a recent survey conducted by the ABC Social Research Unit, just the opposite is true. The survey, which was conducted · at 11 major universities throughout the country and involved some 1,023 students, found that those who watch soaps at least three times a week are "generally successful and active young adults.'' · In fact, few people realize the ad- ◄H vantages of watching soaps . First , they serve to bring people together socially. It is not unusual to find & group of people sitting around the television on any given weekday afternoon enjoying their favorite serial, especially in the residence halls. Sixty-eight percent of the students surveyed by ABC reported viewing soaps in groups of up to six people. A few Wilkes' students also report being unable to find a place to sit in the lounge when Gen eral Hospital comes on. Soaps also provide good exercise for the memory. Most of the storylines get extremely complicated and keeping all the subplots separate involves quite a bit of memory work. There is also the challenge, for long time viewers, of remembering events that occurred years ago in a particular serial and establishing the significance they have on what is currently happening on that show. If nothmg else, soaps provick an exceUent source of conversation. Depending on one's view of soaps, topics of conversation may range from what is wrong with the soaps to how they are demoralizing society to speculation as to where the present storyline will lead . For those of you who may be interested in discovering the fine art of soap watching, here are a few tips : Start with just one serial. As you advance, you may wish to expand your viewing to include two or ◄► MM more soaps, but don't take on more than you can handle in the beginning. Work up to it gradually. Gather as much background material as you can on the serial you are interested in. You 'II find that talking to a person who is already an avid viewer of the soap will reduce the confusion that most new viewers encounter. Watch with a group of people, preferably experienced viewers, who will be able to answer any questions you·may have regarding any of the characters, subplots, etc. Be sure to have anything you may need during the program (munchies, pencils, paper, ets.) within your reach. Getting up to run to kitchen or to hunt for a pencil during the show will disrupt your concentration. If you follow these guidelines, you you should have little, if any, trouble in watching soaps. Happy viewing! Do you watch soaps? Let us know. Tell us which soap(s) you watch, how many times a week you view it, and if you watch it alone or with a group of people. Drop yo ur reply in the Beacon Box or drop by the Beacon office in Parrish Hall. Well , here it is, Part II in the continuing saqa of ''Life in Founders Hall " (or 'Life in the Fast Lane," as the case may be). When we last left our heroine (that's me), she was trying to deal with a dorm full of lertovers from a Frankie and Annette film, Lake Erie-brand tap water and putty that sticks to walls the way oil gets along with water. I may as well point out at the start of this article that I'm risking my life in the name of journalism (though it may be as yellow as our water). The reaction I got within my hall to the first half of this narrative varied from pleased to lynchmob. Some of the little freshmen requested that I mention that they will be donning shorter shorts as the semester goes on (don't ask me why ; well, I guess I know why, but I'd rather not discuss it). Others registered their displeasure quietly by kicking me in the shins or spitting at me (they're a crude, crude group of women), while one of the more athletic little bombshells made her feelings clear by rebounding me off the wall numerous times (I lost count when I blacked out). However, I'm no quitter, and at the risk of another concussion, I'm forging ahead in my effort to reveal sordid truth about ''life in the new dorm'' (sinister music plays softly in the background). One big thing I neglected to mention last time was the fact that this is a co-ed zoo, like Noah's Ark . Yes, right down the hall and through the TV lounge there are men . .. BIG DEAL. I saw more guys when I lived at Barre! You know what living in a co-ed dorm means? It means you can't go to the soda machine in your jammies, even at 2 : 30 in the morning. It means there's sports on the TV constantly. Did you know you can find SPORTS on a television 24 hours a day, seven days a week? Do you know whaf it's like trying to sleep when you can hear Howard Cosell and Dandy Don giving playby-play · of last week's college games? You know what else fascinates me? The idea that men need basketball courts. Obviously the college administration thinks so; they gave up valuable parking behind the Student Center top a basketball hoop. At Wil men get basketball hoops , women get pianos. The· worn Founders have been deprive their pianos ; looks like a clear of sexual discrimination to (note : now that I've done my~ the National Women's Org tion, I would like to mention had the distinct pleasure of li near the piano at Barre, and t I ever see one in the fourth lounge, I will · promptly r through the window.)

Hollenback Hall , the women's residence hall located at 192 South Fran kl in Street , was built in 1916 for Miss Anna Welles Hollenback . The hall is named for her father, John Welles Hollenback , a businessman. The college acquired the hall in 1954. According to Harvey and Smith's History of Wilkes-Barre and the Wyoming Valley, John W. Hollenback was born on March 15. 1827 in Pennsylvania's Bradford He came to Wilkes-Barre in and soon became promin many organizations. He member of the city council ved on the boards of many ies including the Metropoli Insurance Company and Title anty and Insurance Com Scranton. In addition to those busin vities, Hollenback was acti volved in man y civic anded al institutions.

Finpve up; throwing my book on· the floor in disgust, I hopp~d un der a cold wnwn for 20 minutes and went ot bed. The noise problem doesn't end there though. For some odd reason, last year during room selection my roommate and I decided that we would take a room facing the parking lot, and thereby, g~t less noise than if we were facing the street. . . silly us! Oh, we don't get your "average" street noise, I admit that. We get eight guys packed into a small car driving around and around the parking lot at 1: 30 a.m. waving to us as the car stereo blares Van Halen's "Happy Trails To You," and the residents of Founders Hall throw every movable object they can get their hands on out the windows and shout suggestions for what they can do with their tape. We get men who need to play basketball at 2 a.m. We get ~ople who think its cool to sit on their cars and play AC/DC so lound that our posters vibrate off our walls. We get drunks who think their friends live in our-dorm, but aren't sure where, so they stand in the middle of the parking lot and scream for them for 20 minutes. I am confident, however, that all of this will end soon; my roommate and I have gathered up the last of our pennies and chipped in for a highpower sniper rifle with an infrared scope. Allowing six to eight weeks for delivery, and one or two more for free lessons, I estimate the noise level at Founders should drop dramatically a week or two before finals. Well,' I think I've touched on everything I wanted to mention about life in Founders. You may hear from me again as my fellow dormies seem very willing to provide me with fresh material.

"ved a Bachelor of Arts deYale University in 1912 and 11 Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard Law School in 1913. He was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar in the fall of 1913 and eventually became a member of the law firm of Bedford, Jones, McGuigan and Waller. Waller was active in many local business and civic organizations. He was a director of th~ Union Savings Bank and Trust Company, and a member of the Luzerne and Pennsylvania State Bar Associations, the Delta Kappa Epislon Fraternity and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, just to name a few. In 1965, he was appoin_ted chairman of the board of trustees of Wilkes College. by Jill Whitehead "Letterwomen of the world, unite!" is the battlecry heard from our female athletes. The Letterwom"fl 's Club's 20th Anniversary coinci Jes with Wilkes' 50th, and while •1 ~y don't really want to step up and steal any of the limelight from the college, they are ready to stand up and be counted. Forty strong and amazingly active, today's Letterwomen's Club has good reason to celebrate. They have come a long way in the past 20 years. On March 12, 1963, the first meeting of the Wilkes College Women's Lettermen's Club was held. Not only is that title an awkward mouthful, but it also gives a good idea of how important women's athletics were in 1963. They were "allowed" to work the football concession stand at the time, splitting profits 60-40 with the Lettermen. Guess who got the larger split? Between the concession stand, baking cookies and shining shoes, they were able to come up with a scholarship which grew from $ 100 to its present amount, a total of $600 ($300 from the Letterwomen and $300 from Wilkes) for the year. Another scholarship was set up in memory of Correen Santoro, a Letterwoman who died of cancer in 19 76. A basketball tournament is sponsored each year by the Letterwomen in memory of Correen, who was a junior at the college. Rose Ann Hallet Williams, '65, first president of the Letterwomen 's Club, is chairperson of the 20th Anniversary, and also of Homecoming events. The 1982-83 Letterwomen's Club is working hard to get their alumni involved in Homecoming and other events throughout the year. Their Homecoming float's theme will celebrate their anniversary as well, and will stand as a way of announcing to the world at large that the Letterwomen of Wilkes campus are united, strong, and highly motivated. Homecom ing weekend will be replete with alumni matches and games - activities designed to encourage participation, not to mention the opportunity to get vocal and celebrate together. There are five varsity sports for women, as well as coeducational programs in swimming, crosscountry, and golf. The women's teams lack support at their games due to the generalized apathy regarding anything here at Wilkes, but the ladies have sought to fill the gap by being, as Letterwomen 's President Stacy Keeley said, "Super -sup po rt i ve of each other's teams.'' Stacy also said that she sees the Letterwomen 's Club as being a ''tightly knit group, who work. together as friends as well as team members.'' The Letterwomen 's Club does stress mutual support and responsibility. towards the club. Every junior in the ch1b is expected to chair a com~ittee. Advisor Doris Saracino said this '' gets them ready for life," as "they're all expected to take a hand -and get involved.'' Dr. James Barry was born in London in 1795; achieved an M.D. degree from Edinburgh Medical School in 1815; served as a surgeon with the British armed forces for many years in many different areas. \ ·1 he1.- philosophy, "Once a Letter-· woman, Always a Letterwoman." speaks for the cohesiveness and mutual goals that are demonstrated by this club. Their alumni roster boasts 200 membe"rs; obviously, their philosophy is working. The Letterwomen have some specific goals -in mind for the year. One is an Endowment Fund, which presently stands at $2000 (working its way up to a hoped-for $5000). The chb has received very generous gifts from Correen Santoro's family, in memory of Correen, along with alumni monetary contributions, not to mention the profit made by - you guessed it bakesales and the concession stands established in the Letterwomen 's Alumni Club - to get the members aware of what's happening and keep them involved. Many alumni events have already been scheduled throughout the school year. Luck to them! While the Letterwomen 's desire to take the back seat to Wilkes' 50th Anniversary is highly complimentary, honorable, and all that other good stuff, the Wilkes College Letterwomen 's Club deserves to be noticed on their 20th Anniversary,· too. So, notice! Be supportive. They've got some really worthwhile events happening, and a long string of accomplishments to THEN: Members of the 1972-73 Letterwomen's Club. at home games. Once the goal of $5000 has been reached, the annual interest will fund the Letterwomen 's Scholarship and the Correen Santoro Award. Another aim is to build on what has already been be proud of. So, when you 're enjoying a little libation, and are feeling exceptionally loquacious, present a toast to women athletes, as well as, to Wilkes' scholars.

Vice president Trish Riley is absent from the photo. On July 25, 1865, John, the valet who had tended to Dr. Barry for 40 years found his master dead in bed. A charlady who was called in to lay out the body made the startling discovery that Dr. Barry was a woman. Very little is known about Dr. Barry's life, or about why she chose to hide her real identity. But she was the first woman doctor of the British Isles, albeit under disguise. �Virgin Vinyl l~y Ste phen Badman same stock. and are all s uper m usicians. th e hand does not h ave a progrssive rnc k sound.

"Story Theatre" sounds like a good name, according to the play's director, Dr. Michael O'Neill. O'Neill said of the show, which opens tonight in the Center for the Performing Arts, "The title actually describes the play quite well, for the show is a loosely connected framework of eleven stories done in a way that the whole becomes a celebration of theatre itself.'' Story Theatre, which begins the 1982-83 season for the Wilkes College Theatre, calls upon its audience to help create the world of the play. Costumes are suggested, props are minimal, and furniture is sparse. · "The emphasis in Story Theatre is upon the actor\ physical and emot ional equipment,'' O'Neill stated.

Both shows take stories we know well and transform them, through imagination and music, into exciting and . imaginative theatre. So, is it just for kids?

The Milk Industry foundation in Washington. C.. says about $100 million stolen cases is lost per year. "The play is wonderful theatre because it seduces the audience into entering the imagination of the performer," he explained. "When a peasant in the play mimes milking a cow, the audience must 'see' that cow as clearly as the actor playing the peasant 'sees' it." Story Theatre is full of such challenges for its company of thirteen. Christopher Lonstrup, a senior theatre arts major, plays nine different characters in the show. In the time it takes to change her costume, Sarah Law, a junior political science/ theatre arts major, must transform herself from a wicked old murderess into the dim-witted Henny Penny .

Flamey �Page 10, The Beacon, October 8 1982 from the 1 Colonels Lose -bench Thir ougla by Chris Baron I by Ellen Van Riper R §§athletes? How much does Wilkes College value its athletic programs and its Up until this year, I would have proudly yelled " tremendous- I§ 8§ ly, ' ' but now, after what I've heard and experienced, I am not that con vinced anymore. It has been a painful transition from innocence to ex- Rperience. § The Wilkes football season took a turn for the worse last Saturday when the Colonels were shelled by Susquehanna University , 42-8. The Colonels had been showing improvement during their first two games, but, on Saturday they slipped back into their old form . Wilkes exhibited an inept offensive attack and the usually awesome Colonel defense gave up 481 total yards. Back in 1980 the Colonels defeated Susquehanna 9-7 in the last game of the season. Since then Wilkes has gone on a 12 game slide. · Susqu ehanna got on the board early and often. With 9 : 51 remaining in the first period , Crusader kicker Frank Riggitano put up a 29 ·yard fiel d goal. Later in the same period , Hank Belcolle pulled down a 10 yard pass from QB Earl Fullerton for what proved to be the winning score . Early in the second period Riggitano kicked his second field goal , a 3 7 yarder, to finish the scoring for the first half. While the Wilkes defense was giving up huge chunks of yardage . the Colonel offense was struggl.ing. Wilkes managed only 21 yards on the ground and 199 through the air. For most of the afternoon Wilkes QB Wayne Lonstein was under heavy pressure from the Crusaders' front line. The poor pass protection resulted in three Lonstein intercepts. After the game Head Coach Bill Unsworth commented on his quarterback's woes. · He said, "There was lots of pressure on Wayne ; but he's the one who gets the credit when things go good, and he gets the blame when things go bad . That 's just the nature of the job." Early in the second half, Susquehanna added two quick TD's and the Colonels were down 27-0. With 10 : 5 3 remaining in the contest , Wilkes got its first and only score of the game. Lonstein hit Mike Slepian with a seven yard TD pass. On the next play, the two connected again for the two point conversion . The Crusaders then added insult to injury as their substitutes scored two more touchdowns in the final minutes of the game. The usually optimistic Unsworth seemed very disheartened by the loss . He commented, "We never really got going offensively or defensively ." The Colonels are going to have to take a long hard look at themselves and try to turn things around , or its going to be a very long season . This week the Colonels get a chance to prove something to the alumni when they take on Trenton State in the an nual H omecoming game at Ralston field. by Susan DeFratei e Lady Colonels last , some of the finest tei d hockey has to offer.

Seriously. there is a problem , or shall I phrase it a major war being waged between academics and athletics . At times it appears as if the lines have been drawn and the trenches dug , for there are members of both the fac ulty and the administration who believe that the two cannot · exist peacefully together.

The Lady Colonels start an offensive attack against Bloomsburg last Saturday at Kirby. With the ball is senior cocaptain Diane Hall. (Phot by Karl Lindhorst) With 15 minutes left in the first half, Rider scored the first goal of the game. All it took, though, was a short pass from Debbie Cometa to Diane Hall, a beautiful lift by Diane into the top corner of the goal, and the score was tied at one apiece. With 19 minutes gone in the second half, Rider scored again on a penalty corner, and Wilkes was down 2-1. Only two minutes later Wilkes answered with a goal when Karen Johnson assisted Diane Hall for her second goal of the game. Another penalty corner cost Wilkes a goal and at least a tie. The Lady Colonels didn't give up, and even had a third goal called back. According to Coach Meyers , her tea m had out -played Rider , but it was Rider's style that beat Wilkes. "We had played hard in the morn ing - I wasn't sure if we'd have much left for Rider. But I'm proud of how we played. We aren't used to being pushed and shoved. and Rider got away with it all l!ame long.'' Judging from how well Wilkes played against these two top teams, Meyers is enthusiastic about the rest of the season, "Our attack gets stronger with every game. If we had a little more stick skill, we'd be even better." The Lady Colonels ended their part in the round robin weekend with a 1-0 loss to Mt. St. Mary's on Sunday afternoon . Mt. St. Mary's was coming off two losses from the day before, and was hungry for the win. Wilkes was ''tired and tacky," as Coach Meyers put it . meaning that Wilkes ' skill level dropped off. The first half saw a It ,1 of hit and hope on Wilkes ' na rt . Both teams lacked control of dd lt ;·1 ed balls , and, as a res ult , Wilkes was beaten to the ball too often by Mt. St. Mary's. Although Wilkes was strong when they did get the ball into the opponent's circle, it just didn't happen often enough to get the Lady Colonels hack into the game. Football In Europe " :ARE CENTER rMenand h Styling than Wilkes . Wilkes ' first challenger of the weekend was Bloomsburg . The fact that Bloomsburg had played tough 1981 AJA W National competition did not move Wilkes, as they rose to the occasion to tie Bloom 1-1. From the opening pushback, it seemed that BSC would be on a scoring fling, but the Wilkes defense had other ideas. In the end BSC got only 14 shots off, and Wilkes' goalie Tracey Kelly had an excellent game with nine saves. In deep defense it was Karen Johnson and Tracey Day who cleared the ball out of the Wilkes circle to keep Bloomsburg from scoring. On attack it was Diane Hall, Sue Strenkert and Michelle Weiss who kept Wilkes in the game during the first half. Unfortunately, a tough BS(; defense prevented the forward line from getting many shots off. A 0-0 score at the half encouraged BSC to come out hungry, but Wilkes held them. Then 12 minutes into the half Bloomsburg had a series of shots, and finally put one in the goal off of Tracey Kelly's pads. This goal only made Wilkes play harder and forced them to keep the ball moving faster. They had several penalty corners, and with nine minutes left in the game , Karen Johnson intercepted a ball in its path out of the circle, drove toward goal , and Debbie Cometa lift. ed it in the goal. Coach Meyers was enthusiastic about her team ' s tie with BSC , "We did it - we tied a very strong and talented team. ' ' Wilkes reassembled later in the afternoon for a very fast -paced, tension-filled game against Rider , the Division I team . The Lady Colonels gave them a good fight, matching two of their goals with one of their own.

Cross Country ream Edged By Baptist Bible 27-28 by Ellen Van Riper Last Saturday the Colonels met Baptist Bible at Kirby . In a race in which a ms:agre total of l l seconds separated the top five finishers, the Colonels were narrowly nipped 27-28. This close defeat lowered the overall season record to 4-3. . Coach Bart Bellairs called it "the best ever cross country meet at Wilkes," or at least "definitely the best" since he has been here. The race was decided in the last l O yards of the five-mile course. In what was more like a hundred-meter dash ending, the second and third Colonel finishers were outkicked by two Baptist Bible Defenders. The winner of the race was Colonel freshman George Hockenbury with a time of 26:20. It was his first victory of the 1982 season, and his sizzling time was close to the course record . · The second finisher for Wilkes was Tom McGuire who was clocked at 26:24. He finished third overall. Just to illustrate the closeness of the race, it is interesting to note the sec- ond place finisher';time of 26:22 . R~unding out the finishers for the Colonels were Dave Levandoski, Greg Quinn, Joe Dill, Tom Morpath , Chuck Harris, Owen Murphy and Mark Murphy. Levandoski ran a good race and finished third for Wilkes and fifth overall at 26:31. Quinn was clocked at 27:39, which was good for the fourth Colonel spot and ninth overall. Dill was the fifth Colonel finisher with a time of 28: 17. Relatively close behind him was Morpath who ran a 28:52. Harris and the two Murphys finished fourteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth overall. Chuck had a time of 29:40, Owen came in at 30: 12, and Mark finished at 30:22 . Coach Bellairs hated to lose the meet, but he did not mind quite as much because his runners put forth a total team effort. They "rose to the challenge" and "pulled together as a team . " Also acting as a salve for the wound was the improvement shown by the team,both as·a unit and individually. The obvious highlight of the day was the · performance of Hockenbury. Only a freshman, George has had a fine rookie campaign. His victory last Saturday is only the beginning. Bellairs sees many more coming in the future . The other obvious bright spot was McGuire who has shown steady improvement throughout the season. Meet in and meet out he has been a top finisher. He has consistently been providing the team with fine performances. However, perhaps overshadowed by it all has been the improvement of Greg Quinn , Joe Dill and Tom Morpath. They have all been working extremely hard, anq., according to Bellairs, it has paid off. Last Saturday they all trimmed about four minutes off of their average times for the course. This Homecoming weekend the Colonels will face Moravian College. According to Bellairs, it will be the toughest team that the Colonels have faced so far.

Though Housing Director Adams stated that he was pleased with the response he receiveed from Dina and Gore when he explained the administration's decision and the options on room selection, students questioned about the decision are disappointed. Sherry Teats, a senior who has lived at Dina since her freshman year, stated that, "Senior year is supposed to be wonderful, and they're taking that away from us . They told us the college operates on a budget of$ 14 million; I don't see how the $15,000 it takes to run this dorm is going to put the school under." Teats also mentioned that when the residents of Dina asked Adams and Ralston about living off -ca mpus in apartments, they were informed that students who wished to move off -campus would have to go before a board and have their case reviewed. The board will decide wh<!ther the student will be allowed out of his orherhousingcontract. D:Jm Cassise and Karl Lindhor.;t both stated that the only reason they returned to Wilkes College was because of their friends at Gore and the positive atmosphere they feel living there. ''Last year, we got Outstanding Male D:Jrm. We went crazy for the school to try and help pull it together, and in return they're closing us down. It doesn't make sense," commented Lindhorst. Men from Gore have decided to take action in an attempt to keep their dorm open until the end of the 1982-83 academic year. Joe Mamorian, resident of Gore for one and a half years, said that the announcement has pulled the dorm toegether. Both he and Lindhorst confirmed that they will attempt to raise the $15,000 it will take to keep the dorm open for one more semester. Ideas for soliciting the funds include ap pealing to the public through the media and requesting donations from alumni who were residents of Gore. With more than 100 · spaces still open after Gore and Dina are closed, ·Adams stated that the administration will be looking into the possibility of being forced to close more of the older dorms on campus . 135. a decrease in students predicted, Paul Adams the actual number was es1imated.

St. John -Stevas is pictured above delivering congratulations to Wilkes from his government. ~ later went on to sp eak about the connection be tween Wilkes and Britain created by John Wilkes, a member of the HJ use of Commons in the 1 700 's and the college's namesake . The convocation was designed to . celebrate the inception of ~ilkes as BucknellJuniorCollege m 1933 and then its establishment as a four-year institution in 1947. The ceremony included a procession of the Wilkes faculty in caps and gowns into the Center for the Performing Arts , a chorale pres.entation by the Wilkes College Chorus and a series of addresses made by people who were notable in the history of the college . Participating in the service were Robert Capin, presiclent of Wilkes; Dr. Dennis O'Brien , president of Bucknell University; Dr. Arthur Brandon, assistant to the president of Bue knell in 19 3 3, who reflected on that university's decision to create a junior college in Wilkes -Barre; and Joseph Salsburg, instructor in Computer Science at the college and member of the fir.it class of Bucknell Junior College . Salsburg read an address written by Dr. Arnard Marts - on the occasion of the transfer of assets precipitating the creation of Wilkes as a fouryear institution. Also present was Helen Pacolla, daughter of Dr. H::imer Rainey, president of Bucknell University in 1933 . Pacolla read a letterfrom her father who is now living in re tire me nt in Te xa s . Following 'the program,a reception was held in the Farley Lounge for those guests officially invited to the convocation. �Page 2, The Beacon, O ctober 1, 1982 College Surveys Itself Research Analyzes Wilkes by Rebecca Whitman · Through a Tttle -3 federal grant, Wilkes College has been ab le to .hire an Institutio nal Researc her who will engineer the building of a data base of research on the school itse If w hich will pe rhaps assist in future administrative decisions . Dr. Eric Watters, Director of Institutional Research, arrived at Wilkes last ~cember, but has only recently be g un the task of building up researc h knowledge for and about the school. ~ states that the first few months of his work at the college were spent ''Meeting people and find ing out what they want and need to know about Wilkes ." ~ re po rts that the first step in this sort of research is to de cide what information is nee de d , if it alre ~.dy exists, and if not, how to go about getting it. Cheryl Scalese, Programmer/ Analyst, is Dr. Walter's assistant a nd is in c h arge of designing programs which store , ·retrieve and / or analyze the da ta compiled. Their researc h will be s tored in the Wilkes Colle ge co mputers ys tern. Dr. Watte rs re p o rts th at one of his first projec ts was to gath er informat io n o n stude n ts who leave Wilkes be fore they co mplete their und ergraduate studies ·; the a dministration did no know in man y c ase s wh y the s tud e nt left o r what he or s he was do ing now . Watters designe d a ques tio n na ire asking these and other questions and it was mailed to students who were freshmen in 1978-79 but never went on to · graduate. Forty -seven percent of those who received the questionnaire responded, a figu re Dr. Watters stated he is pleased with. ~ also said they a re still in the process of analyzing the informa tion they received . · Watters also me ntioned that the sc hool would like to send this sort of a survey out every yea r ,so they could look for reasons for students leaving Wilkes before completing their degrees, and if it is so me tangible reason, perhaps move to correct it. Another major project which is helping to build a school data Qase was the le n_gth y question- Dr. Eric Wattei's n~ire s given to freshmen . during orientatio n this year. Th!S containe d a numbe r of attitude ques tio ns the sc hool was inte rested in. Unfortun ately, Wa tte rs re ports that ma n y of these were not retu rn ed, h owever,he ~ee ls next year's . respo nse will be better. O ne priority for this year's research is an O utcome study. Watters will gather informatio n on what happens to students who go to Wilkes, how their values are effected, how their attitudes are c hanged and many of the tang ible changes in their live s . ''We don't really know all the effects o f college o n students. We don't know what changes they go through . Some things IT?ay n~t show up until they are m thetr 30's "stated Watters. H': is pres ently' working on a questionnaire , liich will investigate these · questioi. The TttiL 3 grant which is fund ing Dr. Watters ' work was orig inally designed for one yea r only ; however, the government recently renewed it for five years. Dr. Watters explained that , under the Tttle -3 g rant , Wilkes has ag re e d to pay a n inc reas ing amo unt o f the cost of the resea rch eac h yea r. 1-i: staled that, though the schoo l will eventually be paying for the entire program, the office of Institutiona l Research will p roba bly be a "perrnnanent fix ture." · Be fo re co ming t0 Wilkes, Dr. Watters was a high s choo l Eng lish instruc tor and then went o n for his doctorate at the Unive rsity of Ke.ntuc ky. 12.

Gerald Wuori, O,an of Admis sions, reports that approximately 1950 full time undertgraduate students enrolled at \\'ilkes for the 1982-83 school year. This is between 80 and 100 students less than last year. Wuori states that the drop in enrollment was predicted several years ago in a report made to the Long Range Planning Committee. ~ did, however, admit that, "We expected a curving drop over a numberofyears and what we got this year was a c Jiff." The number of resident students at Wilkes dropped about 5 percent from 902 to approximately 860. This fact was vividly demonstrated by the ability of Hiusing to easily relocate all the women from Sullivan Hill after the fire there. There were even more e mpty rooms since the new dom1, Founders Hill, was built. Paul Adams, Director of lliusing, states .that the Hlusing O,partment predicted a drop in resident students, but there are more than originally estimated, Wuori explains that the budget for each school year is determined by the Long Range Planning Committee based on the reports they receive, and that the steep enrollment drop affected the school budget. Though this . year's budget was "fouled up"by the lower enrollment, Wuori states it is still "managable." The effect this drop will have on next year's tuition costs has not yet been determined . It is recog nizable that tuition will go up, but lack of enrollment may send it up more than planned. Wuori reports that enrollment in every major was down this year. The most dramatic drop was in the Biology O,partment which lost approximately 40 students. According to Wuori, this is due to the end of the Wilkes Hahnemenn program. Future Of The World Revealed World Future's Professor Dr. Hlward F. Didsbury ~poke last week at the CPA on the peril, and promises that the next few decades may hold for our planet. Didsbury, a Yale and Ameriuu1 University graduate, is Professor of History and Director of the Future Studies Program at Kc-an College,~w Jersey. _ , The professor , an animateu and sometimes eccentric s-pe.1k · er (once allowing a delusion of grandeur and imagining him~elf as the future Lord Didsbury). described futures studies as "the objective inquiry into the a,lterna - tives before· hLimans." The discipline is mainly concerned with forecasting the next 5-15 years. Any period of time beyond rhi, becomes too uncertain to assess, Didsbury said. Dr. Didsbury said he considers himself a "tempered _ optimist," because he sees the future as being maleable to human will, but also detects popular attitudes that may be "positive impediments to action ." First is the "Gee-whiz attitude" toward technology and science. which Didsbury said leads people to become complacent about the problems that surround them and adopt the approach that science "will snatch us back from the brink of the abyss" just in time. The professor termed this "simple -minded optimism." The second attitude threaten ing our future is the 'doom and gloom' resignation that encourages apathy . This is characterized by the belief that we are all goini~ to die anyway, so why bother, Among students, Didsburv sees this manifested in the 'pass the grass and tum up the stereo' reaction to world problems. - When people adopt either of these responses,according to the professor, 'nothing gets done.' �Pa e 4, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 Editor's Corner Volleyball Team Thanks Enthusiastic Fans Co1 To the Editor: I've had it.

They pound my eardrum for a while, and then I suggest they write a letter to the editor. They usually say they will, but they rarely follow through. Why? You tell me . Maybe it is the curse of timidity. Maybe it ' s laziness or illiteracy or writer's block. Or maybe, just maybe, people have no idea how to write to the editor and fear they'll look foolish trying , Here, for them, is everything they ever wanted to know about writing a letter to the editor (*but were afraid to ask) . First, the bas_js;s . In order for a lett er to appear in print, typists and editors must be able to read it. That means · the handwriting must be legible . If yours isn't, you should print or use _a typewriter. You can''t expect us to publish a letter we cannot read . If it' s only a word or phrase we can't quite rriake out, and the letter is otherwise worthwhile , we may have to guess what it means - and P,erhaps distort your meaning . We don't like to g uess , and when in doubt we tr y to co ntact yo u. We need 10 kn o w ho w to . Print or type yo ur na me, address a nd day time ph o ne number wh ere we will eas il y see-it. And yes, we ins ist on printing your name and commu ni ty. (We do n 't print you r st reel address or phone n um ber. ) Sign yo ur letter as ev idence of good fai th . Depend ing on the backlog at I.he time, a lett er may a ppea r a da y o r a mo nth a ft er we ge t it. Most letters do go into print. Which ones don't? Open letters, written to one person but sent to everyone and his brother, don't see print. Nor does poetry . We don't publish personal correspondence such as expressions of gratitude to neighbors and friends. Complaints about business, better handled by an action line, don't run. Neither do profanity-laden letters . Letters of religious interpretation or religious assertion don't see print. Correspondence from candidates for public office, unless in response to criticism -printed in the paper is treated as news, and editors determine whether it deserves to be reported in the regular news columns. What we do like to print is a variety of opinion about public affairs local, regional, national, foreign. And we love to print letters that disagree with our own editorials. There's nothing like a good con!Toversy to stir up readership. So much for the basics. L(,t ' s move oo to the advanced -course .,. Remember you're tr ying to communicate . Do your readers a favor and make your letter easy to read. Don't force people to decipher it . Spell things out: For example , if you refer to a particular a rticle, mention its headline and the da te it was publi shed ; a senten ce summa ri zing the article is a lso helpful. Be clear . Kee p yo ur se nte nces short and to the poi nt. 1f you wan t to impress peop le, impress them with the depth of your knowledge and the elegance of your reason ing, not the length or your sentences and obscurit y of yo ur vocabulary. Expect us to edit for spelling, p unctua tio n , syntax and so forth. Rarely do we receive a grammatically perfect letter. But it' s up to you to get th e facts straight. Never assume anything, always check it. Now for the refinements. Well-written letters share a few qualities , Among them are coherence, documentation and conciseness. Even before you pick up a pen, sit back and thin~ about what you want to say. Ask yourself the questions someone else might ask. What exactly is your point? Does it make sense? What makes you think that way? Where did you gel your facts? Why should anyone else think the way you think? Having thought ii through, turn your attention Lo organmng your letter. Be prepared to confine a single letter to a single topic, and devote yoursel f to it. Don't ramble. Give your letter a beginning, a middle , an end. State your purpose at th e start , then proceed to explain yourself, and fin ally wrap it up . A few ex tra bits of advi ce. Instead of usin g exclama ti on mark s, find powerful ve rbs . Write in th e acti ve vo ice. Gel rid or unnecessary wo rd s. Be as specific as you can. Avoid cliches. Go ah ead and revise what you ha ve; even Hemingwa y spent half hi s tim e revi sing a nd rewritin g. Set as ide yo ur ri,i is hed lett er for a day or two and.c then read it with a fr es h eye, or ask someo ne else to read it and tell yo u what he truly think s. Finally, have th e co urage to spea k o ut. Democracy isn't for th e meek and quiel. 11 thrives on debate and d isagreement. Go ahead and pipe up. Thom as J.

We 'llown the Senate by thirty-five seats Thy men shall go down to many defeats ." Conservatives listened, and they did smile, The Jibe ral faith they me ant to de file.

And yet the Lib'rals still don't seem to hear That what they believe is still what we fear. Although the people once gave them the sack, Jn eighty-two they think they'll be back. They claini the recession is Reagan's fault, To end it they want to open the vault, They'll tax and they'll spend as they 've always tried, Although this is what the people decried . Later this year a key choice shall be made: Are we courageous or are we afraid; To follow new paths that lead to success, Or follow them back to the liberal mess? (Proper Perspective) By James Watkinson The Senate bill that would have amended the Constitution to outlaw abortions died a merciful death recently . The bill, supported by· President Reagan, was. nurtured and pushed by Senator Jesse Hehns of N>rth Carolina. The women of this country may thank Providence that Hehns who is ·just a bit to the right of the' Ayutollah Khomeini and Jerry Falwell on the political spectrum, lacked the parliamentary skill and friends to get the bill through the Republican-controlled Senate .

" The issue,however,has not been laid to rest as far as the general public is concerned -- or so the ~~l Majority, the !'-ew Right, et szmi/ia would have us believe. There were 1.7 million abortions performed in the United States last year. Thus ,as George Will, the right's most intelligent spokesman, said, outlawing abortion in the legislature would be about the same as "trying to outlaw gin." But the Right-to-Lifer groups, and the radical elements therein, continue to push fot prohibitive legislation. • The Right-to-Life lobby is under the inipression that the women who have this operation performtd are cold-blooded murderers who care nothing for human life . These women are simply killers or are manipulated by kil lers . The Right-to -Lifers would have the general public believe that the wome n who take this ste p have no ide a what they are really doing and have had no : ounsc !ling The Right-to-Life org;inizations want the public to believe that abortion clinics are synonomous with I:achaum, Bergen-Belsen and Auschwitz and that the doctors performing the operation are money-grubbers who enjoy their work and the money that it brings . Women who become pregnant and wish to terminate the pregnancy are given extensive counseling regarding both the nature and consequences of the opera tion.There is usually at least a 24 hour waiting period before the operation may be performed . This counters two essential grievanci>s of the Right-to -Life groups. The more radical of these groups stations people outside abortion clinics and attempts -to '.'counsel" wom~n who are going m. The counseling often consists of statements such as, "You know that you're murdering an innocent human being! Think of the baby you 're killing!" This amounts only to severe psycho logical and emotional harassment. Ix> Right-tc;i -Life groups have any idea of the soul searching and trauma that women must go through before they even ap proach the door of a clinic? They do not know -- and presumably do not care . After a woman has had the operation, counseling is given regarding birth control. Planned Parenthood and the doctors who perform the operations do not want to endure the mental and physical stress once more. Pro Lifers do not believe this. They are under the impression that women who avail themselves of th$ option simply run out, ge t pregnant ~ediately, and re turn to get ''fixe d" again. In short, the Ri~ht-to-Life groups, while profe ssmg a great deal of compassion, really have none and certainly have no respect for the ordeal that these women endure . The most important thing, though, is that these groups do not ac cept, refuse to respect, a wo man's right to make a choice. This column could go into facts and figures which would prove the cost-effectiveness of funded abortions. h could go into descnptJ.ons of what the women of this country would have to look· forward to if this type of repres sive legislation were to ever pass. That is not the issue here . The is_s ue is simple dignity, comp_as s10n, and freedom of choice. The women of this country deserve all three . The Supreme Court recognized that. Let us le ave it at that. �Pa e 6, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 From Life In Barre OLi .,; by Rebecca Whitman The cast of Story Theatre is rehearsinga scene from the upcoming production.

Jo Ann. Magers noted that this . $80.00 deposit was •.not mentioned to SG before or during the party and had not been paid.

A.lams also asked students to avoid "excessive parking"in the · driveway alongside Gore Hall. 1-E stated that though parking there is not illegal, too many cars in that area will make it difficult for emergency vehicles to get through. Bill Lourie, re porting for the Student Center Board announced that at the SG sponsored "Flood" party held recently at the Student Center, the building's stereo equalizer was damaged. 1-E reported that the Student Center Board had decided to ask S G to pay for half the repair costs , and that a stricter policy toward the use of Student Center equipment is being discussed. Because of difficulties at the Duplicating Office, Shelly Urban, homecoming committee chairman, stated that she was unahle to get the necessary forms for those people who plan on creating dis plays or floats for this year's H:>mecoming.

When questioned by D:in \Volfrom , representing Senior Class President Greg Marshall, as to why an election is held for positions which are unopposed, Pringle stated that it is a formality in the consitution of SG that an election must be held.

Experts to Create a Fine Design Line NO APPOINTMENT NECESSARY �Pa e 10, The Beacon, October 1, 1982 Tennis Team Suffers Losing Week by Ellen Van Riper Since opening the season with an ace over cross-town rival King 's College , the Lady Colonels have been serving-up nothing but faults . Two weeks ago the ladies lost to Scranton , and last week they dropped games to Lock Haven , Upsala, and Man,field. The current overall record is 1-4. After a 9-0 blanking at the hands of Lock Haven , the Lady Colonels hosted Upsala College on Sept. 24. Neither team had a complete roster, and Upsala narrowly edged Wilkes 4-3. Freshman Jennifer Briscoe started the ladies off on the right track by defeating her Lady Viking opponent in straight games 6-3 and 6-2. In the second singles match Wilkes's Trish Palys went down in two games 6-3 and 7-5 to even the overall team scores at 1- 1. The third and fourth singles matches went to Lady Colonels Jackie Brown and Annette Winski. Brown came back after a disasterous opening game loss (1-6) to take the next two by scores of 6-3 and 6-4 . Winski had an easier time of it as she only needed two games to thwart her opponent. The scores were 6-4 and 6-2. The fifth singles match went to Upsala by default. All in all the ladies did well in these singles matches . In the games that were actually played they had a 3-1 edge. Unfortunately, the doubles competition did not go as well. There were two matches, and both went to three games. Wilkes came up empty both times. The team of Briscoe and Palys was defeated 6-1, 6- 7, and 6- 3. The duo of Brown and Winski started off well, but could not keep it up . The scores were 2-6, 7-5 , and 6-3 . On Sept. 27 the Lady Cofonels hosted Mansfield State and were soundly defeated 8-1. The lone victory for Wilkes came in the doubles competition. In the first match the .tandem of Cress Shallers and Jennifer Briscoe defeated their Mansfield opponents 7-5 and 6-4. In the singles competition Shallers was defeated 6-2 and 6-1 , and Briscoe lost a tough and frustrating match 7-6 , 0-6, and 6-4 . The other matches saw Trish Palys also lose a heartbreaker0-6, 6-2 , and 6-4. Jackie Brown was downed in straight games 7-6 and 6-4 as was Annette Winski 6-0 and 6-2. The final singles match was a three-game affair. After battling to a 5-7 first game wi'n, Natalie Sodano could not hang-on. She lost the final two by scores of 6-2 and 6-3. In the other doubles games the team of Brown and Palys was downed 6-0 and 6-1, and the duo of Winski and Sodano was defeated 62, and 6-0 .

Poor stick s kills, lack of sup port and a ge nera l sloppiness characterized the Lady Colonel 's first half. East Stroudsburg's quick cutting and ac c urate passing put them ahead 1-0 by the end of the half. Wilkes came out rejuvenated for the se c ond half. Altho ugh ESSC sc o red their second goal five minutes into the second half , Wilkes used the remaining 3 0 minutes to come bac k.

This past week they raised their overall record to 5-1. The big win was over the Scranton Royals . It was the first time that the spikers had ever defeated Scranton. Also, the game against Scranton was MAC Northeastern Division game, so the victory gave the Lady Colonels a 1-0 headstart in the division. The other divisional teams yet to be played are King's, FDU-Madison, and Upsala. On Sept. 21 the Lady Colonels hosted the Scranton Royals. Scranton was in for a big surprise. The Lady Colonels had everything going their way in the first game as they won 15-8 . In the second game the Royals came back with a score of 156. The match was like a see-saw going back and forth. Wilkes went on to take the third game 15-10, and Scranton won the fourth 15-5 . The match came down to the very last game. It was close all the way, but Wilkes had the unity that it takes to win and proved so in a score of 15-13. The Lady Colonels had defeated long-time rival Scranton for the first time in volleyball. Wilkes was getting good sets from freshman Teresa Miller and junior co-captain Debbie Kramer, so all four hitters were used effectively. Leading the way in spiking were senior Cathy Lee and sophomore Jennifer Golding with 12 apiece. Rounding out the rest of the figures were -junior Sally Fisher with ten and senior co-captain Ellen Van Riper with seven. As a total Wilkes had 47 kills as compared to Scranton's 32. Leading the way with service aces were Debbie Kramer with seven. Adding to that were Cathy Lee and Jennifer Golding with six apiece . As a total of service aces, Wilkes had 29, and the Royals had 24.Just by look: ing at the totals one can tell that it was a tight-pressured game with many good defensive plays as well as offensive. Last Friday Wilkes traveled down to Albright College in Reading to play a tri-match with Su ,yuehanna University and Albright. In a trimatch all of the teams play each other with the match decided on a best of three basis. Wilkes handled Susquehanna easily. They defeated them in two of the three games. Scores were 15 -0 Wilkes, 10-15 Susquehanna, and 15-7 Wilkes. Leading the way for Wilkes in spiking was Cathy Lee with nine, and Ellen Van Riper and Jennifer Golding with five apiece . Jennifer also lead in service aces with 12. In the other game against Albright, Wilkes had its problems. Albright won the first two games to take the match. It was the first loss of the season. The scores were 15-9 and 15-5. Jennifer Golding lead the team with four kills and three service aces. The last game of the week was against Marywood College. The match was played here last Sunday. The Lady Colonels had very little problem in handling Marywood. Wilkes swept three games with scoresof15-7, 15-4, and 15-9 . Marywood was ahead in the third game, but with a time-out, the Lady Colonels got a chance to settle down and came back to win the game and the match. Leading the way in hitting was Debbie Kramer with five and Ellen Van Riper with four. In service aces it was Teresa Miller with 13 andJennifer Golding with eight . The overall record for the volleyball team is 5-1 and 1-0 in the MAC Northeastern Division . The highlight of the week was the big win over Scranton. If Wilkes defeats the other three MAC teams in their division, they will have another chart)~ion of the MAC Northeastern Division .

Running at Kirby , the Colonels garnered the top five spots with Dive Levandoski,George Hoc ken· bury, and Tom McGuire all cross - ing the finish line with identical winning times of 27 :18. The overall season record now stands at 4-2. The distaff half of the team also had a good outing. Even though the ladies lost 24 -32, Coach Bel· lairs was very impressed with their performance . ON YOUR MARK. GET SET. GO!! The Colonels are off and running in their meet last Saturday against Lycom,ng . The Wilkes runners completely out-classed their opponents as they captured the top five places. David Levandoski, George Hockenbury, and Tom McGuire all crossed the finish line with identical winning times. (PHOTO BY SANDI BARTELS) Coming off last weekend's disappointing meet, the Colonels had some thing to prove to both themse Ives and their fans. Last week's Beacon article was not very favorable, and Coach Bellairs believes that this pro · vided his team with added incen· tive for an impressive performance. Bellairs further stated that real athletes respond to pressure,and he was proud to say that his runners did just that. He commented that he could see the determina · tion in the face of Tom McGuire. As if jet propelled, the trio of Le van dos ki, Hoc ken bury and M::Guire virtually sprinted to · a first mile time of approximately 4 :50. This unbelievable pace separated them from the rest of the pack, and they easily coast· ed to victory. Finishing behind the winners in the fourth and fifth spots respectively were Joe Dill and Greg Quinn. Dill recorded a time of 28 :54, and Quinn was clocked at29:07. Othe'r finishers for Wilkes were Owen and lVIark Murphy . Owen came in eighth with a time of 30 :4 5, and lVIark finished tenth at 32 :33. Missing from the meet was Chuck I-hrris who had an in· jury. BACK SET FOR A WINNER. Freshman setter Teresa Miller surprised 1 Lady Royals of.Scranton with this one. Instead of setting the ball to one of hitters, she deftly placed it over the net right in the middle of the Scram team for a Lady Colonel point. This was only one of many fine plays whi occurred during the Lady Colonels' first ever triumph over Scranton. Bellairs was pleased with the performances of all his runners, but he made special mention of Levandoski and McGuire . He felt that Thvid was now coming into his own and running up to his po tential, and that Tom had run his best meet of the season,so far. Be llairs · had only one thing to lament about. "If we had run the way we did against Lycoming, we would have beaten King's last weekend." A comparison of the times from the two meets proves this out. Inconsistency by the team is one of those eternal frustrations of the coaching profes· sion . . . The men 's victory was nice, of course, but as far as excitement goes, it was rather boring from a spectator's point of view . According to Bellairs, the real excitement of the day was the women's race. Running without their top runner Ann Hartemen and with anoth er top runner Lynn Roberts nurs · sing a sore foot, the ladies seem· ed to have had a long day a of them. Well, here's to adv ity. Somehow it seems too out the best in people . The Colonels were no exception. The rest of the team , lei senior Leslie Schoenstein finished se.cond -overall w· time of 2 3 :3 2, almost pul off. According to Bellairs , j Staple ton ran an excellent and provided a big lift by f ing fourth at 24 :12 . She was lowed by Michelle ~rstac number se\ten with a time 25 :06, an ailing Lynn Ro eighth at 25 :24, and by j Skibicki who finished eleven 26 :54. Bellairs stated that he beli that the ladies could have w the team had been both intact healthy. On October 30 there wi a second meet with Lyco Both Be llairs and the ladies eagerly looking forward to rematch. tudent HQJJ esiden side: � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

British String Quartet W,ill Give .C once~t At CPA Satard-~ y Night by John Finn On Saturday, September 25, -the Fitzwilliam String Quartet will appear in concert at the Center for the Performing Arts . The Quartet is primarily known for its interpretation of Dimitri Shostakovitch's music, but its repertoire includes works of the past two hundred years. The performance, another in the Concert and Lecture Series, willbegin at 8 p.m. Members of the Fitzwilliams String Quartet first played together as undergraduates at Cambridge University, England, and in 1971 they were the Quartet-in-Residence at the University of York. The members are Cl;uistopher Rowland, violin; Jonathan ,Spacey, violin; NOTICE ' There will be _a meeting for ·the Class of 1984 on Tuesday, Sept. 28 at 11 a.m. in SLC 1. ' All juniors are invited to attend. Alan George, violin; and loan Davies, cello . The group has always been closely associated with the music of Shostakovitch, the twentieth century Russian composer. Alan George, describing the first 1 1 Shostakrndtch quartets; has said, "these . . . could hardly represent a more varied experiente. Generally, they tend to be outward-looking in spirit, and although they are certainly not without their moments .of sadness and melancholy they are often robust and occalionaly lighthearted." In addition to Shostakovitch, the Quartet gives special attention to works of the later Romantic period and ~ontemporary composers. The Quartet is world renowned and has recorded unde labels including Decca and RCA. The discs include quartets of Franck, Del Delius, Sibelius, Faure, Verdi, Ravel and Bartok. They- hllve aP.peared with many prominent soloists such as pianist Alli:n Schiller, clarinetists Alan / Hacker and Lesley Schatzberger, violinist Carolyn Spaery and cellist Moray Welsh and Christopher van Kampen. They have also appeared with Leon Gossens, with whom they have made a record on the RC A label. The quartet has held concerts in various areas in the British Isles and has had numerous broadcasts on the BBC.

CADEMIC SUPPORT CENTER ~ngler ices Offered Throughout the Year by Rebecca Whitman The apparently apathetic response of many Wilkes students to Stark Lobby Thy was the main topic of discussion at Monday night's student government meeting. President Elaine Ke re husky noted that she received "unfavorable response" from many students who she approached with handouts which asked for student support in keeping the lounge litter-free . ~ntion was then made of the anonvmously published ''Farewell ·to Stark Lobby" flyers. These were apparently put out in response to the student _government handouts andtolistadayof activities · to "celebrate" the end of Stark Lobby . Included in the list were dinner and dancing and.a fin.iii: eulogy•:- ~. · .. I.:kan H:iover, advisor to SG stated .that thqugh the fliers were a ·oegaJive resp9nse to the lobi?y day, they at least showed that - "sQmeone -was taking . notice of a ttempts to save1he lobb y." No motio n was passed on the i.~sue, everyone agreeing that students need more time to ad- just to the whole idea and the enforcement of the rules. President Kerchusky noted that SG members should continue their efforts to keep the area free of re fuse. She also noted that, in the end, the decision as to the fate of the lobby rests with President Capin. Cindy Bonham, co-chairman of the Academic Standards Committee, reported that the committee r; presently working on revising the college policy which forces students who have been on academic probation for two semesters,and then fail to meet minimum grade requirements, to drop out for a year. Presently, an effort is being made to allow non-matriculating, or part-time and continuing education students, who have failed and are required to leave Wilkes for a year.,to talie cq urses at lh'e SC hool during this interim period. Credits forcourses taken during this period may or may not be laterappliedtoward a degree .

Later, Talenti also stated that wording is being worked out in an attempt to possibly apply this policy to regular, full-time students. Reporting for the Academic Committee of which he and Bonham are also co-chainnen, Talenti reported that it had been discovered that the Student Bill of Rights had been passed last year, a fact not previously known. According to Talenti, this document was not published in the current student handbook because of its length. The bill of rights assures students of the rights which have been given to them,hut not written out before. Talemi also stressed that "the more informative parts of the document is the implied responsibilities of s tu<le nts." Copies of the Bill of Rights are available through the dea n's office. Keith Sands ,t nno unced that this year SG will be co-span, soring the Ve rmo nt ski trip to Sugarbush and Stowe with the Polar Bear Club.

And every year, each candidate makes promises to his constituants; some of the promises are kept, while others fall, unresolved, into obscurity. The parking situation on campus has been the focal point of many campaign speeches in the past. Of the three organizations, Commuter Council traditionally has been the most vocal about the need for better maintained lots, more parking spaces for commuters, and more orderly and fair systems of distributing parking spaces to the commuter population. The Council, ·during the past few years, has tried to appraise realistically the parking problem, and had usually arrived at some fairly accurate conclusions: that the Council should strive to acquire more parking spaces for commuters, but should keep in mind that because space is so limited on campus, the number of spaces ( 68) probably will not increase; and that the Council probably will be most effective in alleviating commuters' parking problems if it concentrates its efforts on reducing the costs of other forms of transportation for commuters or re ducing the costs of off-campus parking. Presently, the parking spaces on campus are distributed on the basis of need. That i~., commuter students must apply for parking spaces (the Coun cil received 27 6 applications this past summer) and the applications are reviewed by a Council committee that uses a point system to determine which commuters ''need'' an on-campus space the most. The students who are awarded the most points are given parking spaces, for which they pay no fees or daily rates. Those students not awarded spaces are left with four alternatives: they can take the bus to school and purchase LCT A "flash pases" (which the Council sells at cost) ; they can purchase Park'N Lock coupons at the cost of $4 a week from the Council ; they can park on the street and try to deal with the city's me ters; or they can park at one of the local lots that charge from twentyfive to seventy-five cents an hour . After reviewing the parking situation , one is forced to question the fairness of even this rather elaborately constructed system for distributing campus space~. Some students are given free parking for an entire sem ester, while others (who may have only been "two points away") must pay for off-campus spaces. Even at the reduced coupon rates, the costs add up for these students. Last year a suggestion was considered by Commuter Council that would have equalized somewhat the parking costs for all commuters: That a student awarded an on -campus space be charged a fee (perhaps $25) , and that this money be used to further subsidize the costs of offcampus parking. The suggestion, which seemed a feasible and fair one, was batted about by the Council's members for a time , but no one seem ed to take it very seriously . At least , the plan wasn't put into effect this fall. The plan certainly deserves further consideration by the Council. Though those students wh o travel considerable distances to reach the campus each day deserve "first dibs " on the on-campus parking spaces. these same students should be willing to pay a small fee for the conven ience of a guaranteed parking space so close to their classes.

It was a good time had by all, we' re sure! But there were things stolen, at our expense. After all the time, effort , organization, and planning that went into the Pig Roast party , we felt that our efforts were abused. After all, Wilkes is supposed to be a "FAMILY" and we, as a part of that family, had hoped to have the cooperation and maturity of the students. When we planned this Pig Fahmy Welcomes Class of 1984 Roast. it was supposed to be for everyone to j ust get together , to ''hang out ' ' and have a good time. But . all it takes is a handful of people to be unappreciative and ruin it for everyone. TOO BAD!! People expect the school to plan outings, then something like this happens, and people still wonder why the school won't. We went out of our way to get everybody together for a day of relaxation and enjoyment. But because of action, stated ;; bove, it was ruined for all. It's a shame some. people can't be mature and responsible when that's all that Tn the F.ditor: On behalf of the Class of 1984 Executive Council, I'd like to we'lc o me the junior class back to another year at Wilkes Colleg e .

When he vetoed an expenditure bill last week he claimed publicly that it was a ''budget buster." This was an outright lie . The bill° was under what Reagan had originally asked for. In addition, Reagan claimed that he never knew ab~ut the jobs for senior citizens program which was con- tained in the bill. However, White House memoranda exist which prove that Reagan was fully - aware that that program was in the vetoed bill. _Even the Republicanco1Hrolled Senate was not willing to go along with the President on this fiasco and Reagan's veto was overriden.

Lay yo ur doubts aside . The exhibit opening in the Sordoni Art Gallery on September 19 , features four Wilkes College graduates, all successful, working artists who have recently exhibited in the gallery. This exhibition is appropriately titled: "Four from Wilkes.'' Mark Cohen , class of 1965, will be showing 12 photographs in the exhibit. Cohen, the recipient of this year's Pennsylvania Governor's Award for Excellence in Photography, has been awarded a ' Guggenheim Fellowship twice , and received a National Endowment fo r the Arts Fellowship in 1,275 . Cohen has had one-man exhibi tions at the Museum of Modern Art; Castelli Graphics, New-York ; the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C .; and, recently , Marlborough , New York . Cohen still resides in the WilkesBarre area . He has a studio at 32 West South Street. Most of Cohen 's photographs are of the Wilkes-Barre area. Joe Stallone graduated in 1969. A ceramics sculptor, 'Stallone is thought well of in the ceramics art world. For the exhi'bit, he will build three "site specific" structures of brick, and then dismantle them after the show is over. His exhibit will also include five more con ventional studio pieces. As Stal!QJ1e said, '' My work has been exhibited in over 250 shows through out the world and is represented in numerous private and museum collections in the U.S. I have been involved in several major public art commissions in the Metropolitan New York-area .

He attenred Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania Medical School from which he received his medical degree in 1893. After an internship in Philarelphia , he travelled to Heirelburg and Vienna to pursue an advanced study of medicine. In 1896 , he returned to Wilkes-Barre and established a practice . Miner served as the County Medical Director for the State Health Department from 1907 until 1923 . He was then appointed Secretary of Health for the state of Pennsylvania , an office he held for four years. H e was a member of the Luzerne County and Pennsylvania Medical Societies and the American Medical Association. Dr. Miner made his home in the old family house located at 264 South Franklin Street. According to Dean Ralston, the house, which was built in the 186()'s was given to the college by the family and was used as .a residence hall. During the 1970's, the hall was torn down atid the name Miner Hall was given to ® by .Kevin Fagan J he buUding that is now known as De__nison Hall. A few years later, when the YMCA was acquired by the college, th~ name Miner Hall was again relocated. This time , however, Miner Hall appears to have settled in . Although Bedford Hall 'hasn't moved around campus as Miner Hall has, the history and the man it ' s named for is unique in its own right . Built in 1876, Bedford Hall was the home of Attorney George R. Bedford. The building gained its present size and structure from renovations in 1900 and 1928. The hall was acquired by the college in the late 1960' s through the estate 1 of Paul Bedtord. Paul Bedford was born in WilkesBarre on June 24, 1875. He receiv~g a Bachelor of Science regree from Princeton University in 1897. That same year , he entered the University of Pennsylvania Law School. He .graduated in 1900 and was admitted to the Luzerne County Bar. He specialized in corporative law . Bedford, who was a very active alumnus of Princeton, served as Assistant District Attorney from 1913-1915. He died in 1967. 1 Bedford Hill: Apart of Wilkes for almost twenty years. ''Story Theatre'' Adapts Childr•n 's Tales To Stage ' "Story Theatre," an evening of fable and song based on tales from Aesop and the Brothers Grim'm , will open the 1982-83 Wilkes Col lege Theatre season . · Adapted by· Paul Sills and featur ing music by Bob Dylan and the Beatles, "Story Theatre" will take to the stage of the Dorothy Dickson Center for the Performing Arts October 8. 9 and I 0 . A total of 11 tales , including Henny Penny, The Bremen Town Musicians, The Robber Briregroom and The Golren Goose . will be performed by a cast of l ~ Wilkes College students. "Story Theatre" reveloped out of improv.isational workshops directed by Sills in Chicago during the late 1960's. The play's use of panto- I • mime and innovative staging led to its successful Bradway run in the early 1970' s. At Wilkes , "Story Theatre" is dir~ted by Dr. Michael O'Neill ; the set and light design are by Klaus Holm. Both are members of the Theatre Arts faculty at the College . According to O'Neill, "Story Theatre" is for adults as much as it is for children. "The play is a magical pie-ct· resigned to enchant old and young alike," he said. Citing the play's music and satire, O'Neill added, "The show is full of references and innuendo that are intended for an adult audience." The cast of the play includes: Stephen DiRocco, 'Kimberly L.

The theory behind this is that the school should ·not finance someone who causes it damage . The Student Government members present were in total agreement with this idea. The meeting then turned to the Cinderella ball and the continuing conflict concerning formal and semi-formal wear. Suggestions on solving the problem included getting at least 70 percent of the men interested in going formal to sign a list which would then .be taken to merchants to convince them to give discounts on tuxedos . Apparently, local store owners want guarantees of mass business before agreeing to group rates. . Vice-president Pringle pointed out that many of the inen who sign may not be able to attend, and this would anger local vendors. The subject was left behind following the suggestion of a student poll. . In other business, the Women's Athletic Association was unanimously granted their request for $1,005 to attend four away football games. A decision was made to raise the amount of monetary assistance given to groups building floats for the Homecoming parade from $35 to $50 .

Last spring, a petition from residents surrounding the lot was presented to the zoning board. Kirk Forman , IRHC parking committee chai rman , stated that one of the mat or complaints was that the private property between the Denison· lot and the parking lot behind Gore Hall was being driven across by students. Another complaint involved the amount of noise generated by people using the lot at odd hours. According to Forman, the lot could hold approximately 20 vehicles. For this reason, the college, in need of studenr parking, is trying to win back the right to use the Denison lot. Eugene Manganello, personnel directory system~coordinator, is in charge of student parking. He is presently organizing the effort to regain the lot.

The Council was created last year, but IRHC President Marge LeBlanc pointed out that it lacked efficiency and was unable to make any decisions. She plans to start the council over again this year, first drafting a constitution from which it may work. A decision was made for IRHC to sponsor a bus trip to the Bloomsburg Fair on Friday, October 1. As of yet, the exact time of departure is unknown, though it will most likely be around 5 p.in. Cost of the trip will" be posted around campus . The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band will be performing that evening at the fair and IRHC is looking into ticket prices for interested students . Raul ·Gochez, representing the ~ ·studeq_t Ceoter . Board , reported that they will be sponsoring a whitewater rafting trip on October 24. The trip will cover 18 miles of the Lehigh River and take approximately 10 hours . Full deposit of$23 must be in . to the Student Center Board Office by October 1. Wetsuits will be available for rental fee of$ 5. People are requested to sign up in groups of 4 or 5; 60 to 80 reservations will be accepted . The issue of formal or semiformal attire for the Cinderella Ball was once again discussed. President LeBlanc announced that "at this point, formal attire is strongly suggested." It was also mentioned the SG will be putting out a questionaire to get student input on this problem . Mention was made of the annual NACURH , National Association of College and University Residence Halls, convention to be held November 5th to 7th, at George Washington University . Students who might be interested in attending should know that they do not have to be members of Wilkes IRHC. The council also expressed their desire to take a large delegation this year. Tod Hogan, maintenance committee chairman, was assailed by requests for maintenance assistance . Complaints included a lack of screens in Pickering Hall . Another major complaint, voiced by IRHC Vice-president Stacy Lipman is the fact that the maids for Founders Hall have not been informed that they are supposed to clean the students' bathroom . Residents of Founders Hall were assured that, unless they specifically requested that their bathroom not be cleaned , the school inaintenance service would take care of it.

Wilkes President Robert S.

We at Wilkes are grateful to so many people and organiza tions who gave of themselves. There are those who gave financial support and those who gave in other ways just as meaninj!{ul. •• Capin also stated that it is his hope that past accomplishments by the college will ''provide ·the · opportiµiity for those who follow, to benefit from what we have built to derive inspiration for the future and to build and perpetuate the college we love." Alfred S. Groh , director of Wilkes Cultural Activities composed and read a poem •written especially for the occasion. In 1933, Wilkes was founded as a two-year extension of . Bucknell University. At that time the United States was in the middle of a deep depression but the enthusiasm of the young men and women who enrolled during those early years inspired the founding of a four -year liberal arts institution to serve those of '' limited financial means but unlimited hopes and dreams." From its humble beginning in one rented room , the college now occupies 23 acres and provides academic pro- grams of excellence in many disciplines. Also noted during the cermony was the fact that the First Presbyterian Church served on several occasions as a classroom during those early years, when the college facilities could not accommodate the ever-growing student enrollment . . Music was provided by Beverly Perry, Pamela Samuelson, both music majors at Wilkes and Myron · Leet, Organist for the First Presbyterian Church .

Dr. Fahmy has been the director since September, 1980, and has continuously worked to expand the program. At the present time, the continuing education program involves activities such as courses, workshops, seminars, on-the-site training and in-house presentations. A total of 5,000 students have participated since September, 1980. The courses being offered have been categorized into three main areas. They are as follows: Professional Development, Cultural Enrichment and Personal Improvement. The area of Professional Development includes courses such as Cash Management, Health Care, The Law and Broadcasters and Mechanical Drafting. One of the more popular courses in this area is Basic Investing which deals with common stocks: corporate bonds and how to establish investment objectives. The courses under Professional Development have proved to be very popular with nurses, doctors, accountants and teachers . Offered Enrichment The Cultural Enrichment program has scheduled for this fall: Ukranian Language and Culture, A Literary Panorama from Homer to Shakespeare and a Study Tour to Egypt. Enrollment for the trip to Egypt is limited to 20 participants. It will give an opportunity to examine Egyptian culture , art, history and modern society. For people interested in Personal Improvement, courses such as Acting, Music Therapy and The Total Image are being offered. A popular course is Stress Management which focuses on sources of stress, human needs and goals, how to control lives and the reduction of stress. These non-credit courses are open to anyone and are being taught by local professors and specialized field experts . Most courses are based on a five week period . With each new period will come different curriculum , although some classes may be repeated if popularity deems necessary.

We've only published one issue, and al~ r l ready we' ve offended someone. Freshmen This past Friday I was sitting at my .desk in the Beacon office, as I usually do on Fridays from 2:00 until eternity. I should have been reviewing my agenda for the upcoming Beacon staff meeting, sorting mail, checking assignments , calling various offices on campus, and labeling subscriptions. I was, in fact, drinking large amounts of Tab soda and complaining that I never got any good letters on my pull-tabs. It was Friday, I reasoned gleefully, and that fact alone made my present irresponsibility acceptable. After laboring through a hell-fire week of nervous tension , social pressure , and Philosophy 220 , I wasn't about to take this Friday afternoon seriously. . . . . . · · Obviously, I was tempting Fate. I knew I was doomed when I popped open my second can of Tab and found no letter at all on the pull-tab. My mental forebodings turned out to be well-founded, for almost at that very moment there was an ominous knock on the office door. I jumped (and consequently dropped my letterless pull-tab into my soda) and squeaked something dumb like "Enter at your own risk ." I then turned my attention back to my soda. A moment later , in stalked a yo un$. man who, I thought, would have been rather handsome if he didn t m have white smoke coming out of his ears, and who held a Beacon in his ij fingers the way a Swarthmore debutante would hold an off-the-rack , " blouse - with obvious distaste. I knew then that I was in trouble. In what I hoped was voice that oozed self-confidence and businesslike savoir-faire, I asked the red-faced stu-· dent if there was something I could do for him (at the same time praying that-he hadn 't seen me a few seconds before, when I was squinting into my soda and damning the submerged pull-tab to Dante's seventh ~rcle):- H1::waved the·;ll~ ff t_ired-looking Be~c_on he was holding in the air, an·d·pomted to the editomil page ..,_ spenf1cally, to one of the student .' "political-'·' col'umns there '- and growled, " Is this the actual cpinion of this paper?" _ ·· . Oh God, I thought desperately, he 's f rom the 'CIA or something and he tJ;inkswe hate Reagan or wear red underwear or something and I can 't handle this on a Friday. Oh God. " I beg your pardon?" I responded calmly. ''Does this column'' (he stabbed the column furiously with his finger) "reflect the viewpoint of this paper?" he asked again. I knew then that he wasn't from the OA; a CIA man would have used a declarative sentence and mentioned something about the American flag. I knew too what the young man was getting at: he thought the "political" column was an official stand (he apparently didn't know that Beacon . editors, as a general rule, shrink from official stands) and that we were trying to convert the little ole Beacon into some kind of long-haired, hippie-type liberal publication. Well, now I was on sure footing. Discreetly putting my Tab on the far side of my desk (the perverse little pull-tab clinked loudly inside anyway) I tried to assuage the student's anger by explainin~, rather inadequately, the Beacon 's policy for its "student comment 'columns. . l don~ t. khow, if I appeased.this person, or if he merely realized that he was spealiing to a mentally exhausted incompetent on a Friday afternoon, but he neyer got nasty or broke anything, and he left the office without giving me 'any . ·. · arm gestures. And though this person is taking a lot of abuse in this column, let me note that his confusion (and his anger) were understandable; the "political" commentaries in last week's Beacon weren't given any introduction or explanation. So for his benefit, and for the benefit of any other readers who may have mistaken our intentions, let me explain: We at The Beacon feel that the students on this campus have a lot to say about a variety of topics and we want to provide a forum where students can "sound off" about issues_.:.. local, national, or worldwide issues about which they feel strongly. We encourage all students to reply to, refute, or rebute ideas that are ~resented in The Beacon and with which they disagree.

Presicrnt 's position on this ishas sparked much criticism from Western European allies and ·can crtentists. Even MargThatcher, Reagan's staunchEuropean ally, finds herself sepfrom the Presi~nt by the abyss of the pipeline issue . In 111alysis of this grave issue, we the pro-pipeline argument ded the common sense and moral '[ies that our foreign policy has · llyencompassed. , let's look at the economic of the pipeline. By the .ado/ the Western Europeans ves, the pipeline will provide 30 rcent of their natural as mitting student ifiliated ID will submite right . judged ,bscene, Only te final 1. ey will not supply . This leaves the Soviets with a strong bargaining position vis-avis the West. No matter how often the Soviets deny it, the time is inevitable when they will threaten Western Europe with a gas stoppage. If you fin~ this hard to believe, consider the fact that the Soviets have actually cut off trade to their own Czechoslovakian and Rumanian satellites when they felt it was important enough to win concessions. Also, who can overlook the fact that the Soviets have violated almost every mapr agreement they have ever signed (most recently, the Helsinki Group, an organization inside the Soviet Union designed to monitor Russian adherence to the human rights aspects- of the Helsinki Agreement, was disbanded because all but three memhers had been either imprisoned or exiled by the government). Another important economic aspect of the pipeline is that it will provide the Soviet Union with as much as $ 70 billion per year in hard West- ern European currencies . This monetary infusion will enable the Soviets to shore up their staggering economy, and therefore spend even more money on their military buildup. After all , we know where the Soviets spend their money when given a choice between their people and their army. Predictably, the detentists argue for continued American participation in the construction of the pipeline on the grounds that a discon tinuation of such participation would adversely affect U.S. companies, while permitting foreign corporations to profit. This argument is only valid in a nation whose foreign policy is based on pure political expediency and opportunism . We like to think that American foreign policy is based on principles of a higher nature. We are sympathetic with the problems of U .S. industry, but the security of the United States and the free world is of more importance than momentary dealings of certain industries. Finally, who can overlook the human cost of the pipeline's construction. The Soviets have been mobilizing masses of slave laborers to work on this prOf,'ct, as they cb for almost all of t!ieir large public work< prOf,'cts . A large portion of these workers are Vietnamese and Cambodian laborers, who have been loaned to the Soviet Union as payment for debts by their respective governments. This use of slave labor has caused the French and Gerri-Ian governments much concern, yet for some incomprehensible reason, these nations are willing to over look such a massive violation of human rights. Looking comprehensively at this pipeline controversv. it is easily seen how the pipeline is in the best interests of the Soviets, and in the worst interest of the Free World and humanity itself. We only wish that our NA TO allies would recogn ize this, and end their participation in this self-destructive proj>ct. ~===$~==~ by James Watkinson The Reagan A9IT1inistration, in its own inimitable fashion, decided recently to issue sanctions against companies who had the temerity to engage in free enterprise by selling equipment to complete the trans-European pipeline. There are basically two important issues involved here - economics and defense . Reagan once again has shown a remarkable lack of understanding of the issues involved. Reagan and his administration, ostensibly devoted to free enterprise, free trade, and supply-side economics, seem to have abandoned those principles by slapping sanctions on the Dresser-France company and John Brown Industry of Great Britain. These companies both had legal and binding contracts to deliver the materials and equipment they sent to the pipeline project .

Kanner said that when he accepted the job, he did so with the understanding that he would be able to take a leave of absence to do his graduate work. Dr. Eugene Farley, president of the college, granted him this and he has been a member of the faculty ever since . Looking back, Kanner said that Wilkes gave him a good educ~tion. '' Over the years,'' he said, "Wilkes has kept a good staff." He added that Wilkes has proven to be a quality institution since it is high on the list of many schools accepting graduate students. He mentioned Marywood and Penn State as schools which rank Wilkes high . In his years of teaching different generations of students, Kanner commented that he wouldn't have wanted to skip one. He said that he enjoyed his own generation because the people were motivated and yet still close together. He said that although the generation of today is not seen in everyone's eyes as being moral , it is still a good group of people. Kanner said that today's generation is concerned with issues such as the economy and nuclear war, yet not radical about it. He also said that today' s generation is good because '' they tell it like it is.'' named after former members of the Board of Trustees, while Doane · Hall was named for Dr. John Doane , an early college physician , and his wife, a dean of women. Delaware and Chesapeake have interesting sources for their names they're taken from Indian tribes who once inhabited this area. As a resident student, I became particularly interested in the history of my hall and its namesake, Gilbert S. McOintock , so I decided to do some research .. . McOintock Ball was built in 1841 as the home of Attorney Andrew Todd McClintock . The house was originally i two and a half story brick structure built in the Greek revi val style. Additions added to the house in 1850, 186'3 and 1907 gave the house its present structure. The hall , which housed three generations of the McOintock family, was given to Wilkes College in 1951 by Gilbert Stuart McClintock . Gilbert Stuart McClintock, born in Wilkes-Barre on December 27JI'he Brid,! 1886, was a prominent lawyer dur-bavid Sar ing the first half of the 1900's. lek tra/1\ After graduating from Princeton University in 1908 , he attended the David Sa University of Pennsylvania Law famil iar School. He was admitted to the ut his p Luzerne County Bar in 1912. Fol- eard by n lowing in the footsteps of his father bums, Ti and grandfather, who were also at· ut his mu torneys, he became involved in a~f the poJ variety of civic organizations.

Decorating Tips ForDoi-mers by Donna Nitka "How am I going to decorate my room this year?" That is a question that resident students frequently ask at the beginning of each new school year. Here are a few suggestions to help you answer that question . · First of all , determine exactly what it is that you have ro,work with . Choose the specific features you want to accent, such as windows, fireplaces, etc., a_n d those you wish to conceal. With these in mind , plan the placement of your furniture . Students with smaller rooms may want to maximize their ''free space." This can be done by bunking beds and/or placing them lengthwise against a wall. Storing excess furniture , books, blankets and other paraphernalia out of view will make the room appear less cluttered and larger. Students with larger rooms may want to utilize as mucbspaceas possible. Placing a bed so that it comes out into the middle of the room will break a large room into two smaller sections. The remainder of the furniture can then be evenly distributed throughout the room. Once your furniture is in place you 'll want to work on either highlighting or concealing certain features of your room . Hanging plants, mobiles and light-colored curtains will draw attention to the windows . Pictures , posters , plaques and mirrors can be used to conceal cracks in the walls and doors that are no longer used . Tapestries and fishnets hung in just the right area will hide sloping ceilings, and other odd angles from view. Still have bare walls that need covering? Why not try a large palm fan? These fans can be painted or spongedyed any color or decorated with silk flowers. Why not create a rainbow out of ribbon? Or a collage using ''"' "~,..,..,,,. . photos and articles from variom magazines? Thin straw mats (available in a variety of styles), latch .hoo designs and pillows in the shape o letters, flowers , butterflies , balloons , etc., make excellent wall hangings also. In addition to these, large and small plants , flowers, larg pillows, stuffed animals, plasti milk crates and shelving units can used to make the most of a room With a little imagination , any roo can be made to fit anybody 's per sonality.

The chorus will perform Haydn's oratorio, "The Creation ," on October 31. Dr. Terrance Anderson, chairman of the Music Department , stressed that the chorus is open to anyone with a willingness to sing. The only requirement for participation is attendance at the weekly rehearsal sessions. Rehearsals will be held each Monday evening at 7:30 p.m., in Darte Hall , Room 2, from now through the end of October. In addition to the weekly rehearsals, dress rehearsals will be held on Friday, October 29 , and Saturday, October 30, in preparation for the performance. According to Dr. Anderson, the chorus provides everyone with an excellent opportunity to " share in the first of the 50th anniversary year concerts" because the com osition requtres a large chorus . He add that he chose "The Creation" be cause the on-going process of crea tion is symbolic of the growth th college has experienced over the p 50 years and the continued success · can look forward to in the next years.

Over the summer months, the college ad. ministration worked to improve the . appearance of the campus and open up a center of the campus. Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of management, played a large role in planning and execut ing these changes. He stated that in 1978 a campus planning guide was distributed to students, faculty and members of the administration. Included in this was a questionnaire which asked people to plot the routes they took most frequently across.campus. From these, the administration planned a refined c;lesign for the. ~· campus grounds. · This summer , the school implemented their plans. These included a campus-wide greenway . Dr. Shaw said, ' ' These areas are landscaped mostly with grass. By keeping the areas free of shrubs, less time and manpower is required to groom the lawns.' ' The area between the Student Center and Stark Leaming Center, which Dr. Shaw refers to as ' 'the center of campus'' received a major facelift during the summer months. The many overhead wires that crisscrossed this area have all been moved underground. New concrete sidewalks have replaced the old stone ones which were uneven and made it easy to trip. Though some ~ple protested the change, Shaw felt the safety of students was more important than the rustic look provided by the stone walks. The grass seed for the area was donated by the Class of 1982. One lane of the cobbelstone driveway next to the Student Center was removed because it was deteriorating. It also presented a potentially hazardous situation to students ; many students cut across the driveway while other students . are attempting to drive on it. The area behind the Student Center has been converted from a parking lot into a basketball court. "The school feels it should provide students with more recreational · facilities, ' ' Shaw said. On the present parking situation at Wilkes, Dr. Shaw stated that he will most likely be making an appeal to the city zoning board on behalf of the ·school in its attempt to regain the Denison parking lot. "Parking has been a problem since the inreption of Wilkes and probably will be long after I retire.'' Shaw requests that students stay off the lawns and clean up litter :- from the school grounds. He said, "Students only ruin it for themselves when ther, misuse or destroy school property. ' ,---- ---- .____ _7 . 1 :· 1 or l We welcome any comments I .criticism from our readers.

The teams consist of fifteen players each , and the only equipment are sticks and a ball . The game closely resembles the more familiar sports of field hock~y and lacrosse. The object of the game is to drive the small ball with a paddel-like stick called a " hurley" or a " cam an" through the goal posts which are placed at the ends of a playing field measuring approximately 150 yards long and 90 yards wide . The goal posts stand 21 feet apart in the middle of the end lines and are normally 21 feet high . There is a crossbar eight feet from the bortom, and a goal equaling three points is awarded when the ball is driven between the posts and under the crossbar. When the ball is drive I between the posts and ove, the crossbar, a single point is awar led . The goal area, usually f fteen yards by five yards , is based d reedy in front of the goal posts, an I it is off-limits to attackers, unle I the ball has arrived there before ti em . The "caman" is approxi, 1ately three and a halffeetlong in th · handle, varying a little in acco :lance with the height of the indi ·idual player. At the end is a crookec blade which is three inches across at ts widest point . The favorite wo ,d for the making of i:he " ·c aman" sash, for it stands up well. 'the J?all or.'~~liothan:; is.a1 proxi- , ; mately, llineto t_e n inches inc rcum. fete nce and wel'ghs· anywher, from three and a half ounces to fo ur and a half ounces. The cover is made of horsehide with a ridge of hard leather stitching around the ball to aid in the handling of it. The core is made of cork and is tightly wound with thread or yarn . The teams are composed of a goalkeeper, six defenders, two midfielders, and six forwards. A maximum of three substitutes may be introduced during the course of the game. The official line-up consists of the goalkeeper, a fu ll-back, two backs, two half-backs, a centerback, two mid-fielders, two halfforwards, a center forward and three full-forwards . When in play, the ball may not be lifted off the ground v;ith the hand. It has to be raised with the " caman'', and may then be struck direct, on the volley or half-volley, or it may be caught i~ the hand . The by Chris Baron art of the game is to quickly and skillfully lift the ball with the stick . The ball may be caught, struck with the hand , or kicked. However, it may not be thrown, or carried in the hand for more than three paces. A player can run as far as he wishes with the ball balanced on the blade of the stick . His only obstacle is the opposition . This tactic , called the solo run , is a distinctive feature of the game . The hurler must master the following basic skills: the ability to control and direct the ball· both on the ground and in the air; the power to drive the ball far and accurately; the ability to stop the ball in flight and flick it away from an opponent's stick; and dexterity in avoiding an opponent 's stick when players crash in pursuit of the ball. The games are normally sixty minutes in length except for Senior Provincial finals and All-Ireland and semi-finals and firials, which are eighty minutes . The time is divided into equal halves with the teams changing sides at the end of the first . The game is physical , shoulder-charging or blocking is permitted . However, the players cannot trip , push , or pull an opponent , and also cannot dangerously swing or backlash with the stick-. These infrac tions are penalized by a free shot at the goal of the offe nding team . A player who deliberately strikes an opponent with stick or fist is r;jeqed by the referee, and he is not replaced in the line-up. _,The minimum punishment is two week's suspension . Due to the fu ll swing given to the stick, hurling may appear to be a high-risk game to the uninformed observer. However, the players, who have been using the sticks since childhood , instinctively keep them between themselves and their opponents "caman " as a shield . The players do receive their fair share of bumps , scrapes , and bruises, but serious injuries are rare . Statistics prove hurling to be far less dangerous than regular American foot ball: The ideal hurler has both strength and skill . Powerful wrists and forearms enable the player to dodge through with the ball perfectly controlled by his stick. The skilled and strong hurler is able to flick the ball accurately with a very short swing, even though closely tackled and seemingly hemmed in. Along with the pass offense, Unsworth -has instilled a new atti· " I was pleased . We wanted to - tude among his players.

OLLEYBALL II ilkes vs. Scranton At The Wilkes Gym ept ;' 21At 7:00pm - EEFERS ARMY & NAVY by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team opened its 1982 season by notching two victories last Saturday at Kirby Park. Despite not finishing a runner in either of the two top spots, the Colonels still managed to top Elizabethtown College 24-35 and Philadelphia Pharmacy 26- 32. As illustrated by this fact , it is evident that the Wilkes runners are a deep and talented team . They will definitely be a force to be contended with throughout the season. Sophomore David Levandoski was the top finisher for Wilkes on a day which was less than ideal for cross country running. let alone physical activity of any kind . It was hot and humid , and Coach Bellairs noted that these factors adversely af~ec~d all of the times . D avid came in third with a time of27:43. Freshman George Hocken bury and sophomore Tom McGuire were the next two Colonel finishers placing fifth and sixth. Their times of 28:30 and 28:35 indicate that they' must have had quite a battle to the tape. The next places which the Colonels garnered were tenth, eleventh, and twelfth. Chuck Harris came in at 30:42, Mark Murphy came in at 30:50 and Andy Grant finished at 31: 10. Other fi nishers for W ilkes were freshmen Greg Quinn and Owen Murphy .

Ralston said carpeting 1s used for appearances and to create a quieter, more relaxed atmosphere. . Also, Ralston said that, according to the Business Office, the college spent more than S 1800 during the last two years to replace_the large cushions on the lobby furmture. The College administration recognizes that the new enforcement will further restrict the locations now available to students for having a snack or smoke while relaxing between classes. However, both deans said that there are proper and adequate alternatives for this. Smoking is permitted in the tiled foyer -entrance and the rules do not apply to the various clubrooms throughout the building. Dean Hoover pointed out that food . and beverages are now permitted on the second floor of the student center, and he commented that the Cavern seems to be underutilized and could probably absorb many of the students who regularly gather in the Lounge. He also said that commuter students can have breakfast, lunch or dinner in the Dining Ha II. Student reaction to ~he College's effort has been favorable. At the semester's first SG meeting two weeks ago, most members agreed that the situation in the lobby needed attention. Some members recommended that SG representatives patrol the area during the day in order to deal directly (and politely) with infractions. . This approach would reflect Dean Ralston's view that "the only way this problem will be corrected is if students themselves do it." Ralston said the behavior of students in the lounge reflects a deeper societal issue which he terms '-'social competence of students.'' "We are the most affluent society in the world ,,, he explai11ed, "and students rej~t social responsibility)~ The rejection of ·social responsibility by students was most acute during the 1960s, Ralston said, and was a conscious and deliberate action. But he said he sees this rejection today as a spontaneous action caused by an attitude that is ingrained in most students. This attitude does not reflect well on the College or society, he said, and concluded, "we ought to be growing and maturing culturally.'' Sullivan Hall suffered heavy smoke and water damage in a fire · that destroyed its first floor lounge and sent two people to the hospital in the early morning hours of August 29 . Accordi ng to Paul Adams, director of housing, the fire began in the T.V. lounge ''a little before 1 a.m . that Sunday morning." The Wilkes-Barre Area Fire Company was able to contain the fire within the lounge and extinguished it in apporoximately 45 minutes. The cause of the fire is still under investigation by the Wilkes-Barre fire marshall. Twenty women were in the dorm at the time of the fire . Most escaped quickly , but several women had to be rescued by firefighters . Karen Ander son, sophomore, slept through the alarms and commotion and had to be awakened and helped out by firemen. Jackie Bistoff was trapped in her room by heavy smoke and had to be removed through her third floor window by firemen using a cherrypicker. . Two students, Elly Loring, a freshman , and Robert Bruggeworth, R.A . for Denison Hall, were treated for smoke inhalation at Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. , The room above the lounge and Sullivan Hall after fire the Ont'. directly across from it suffered water damage while. the rest of the dorm sustained damage from smoke. Housing Director Adams estimates that it will take approximately one month to repair the building. The women from Sullivan Hall have been placed in the empty rooms in other women's dorms. The majority have been absorbed by Miner Hall while others are being housed in Delaware and Chesapeake Halls. ., Due to this fire and the two which occured last year in Slocum Hall, Housing is stressing the importance of fire consciousness and keeping dorm fire doors closed. Many students prop open fire doors for their convenience and forget to close them again. "This is the most serious fire · we've experienced; we're lucky no one was killed," said Adams.

Not only must he retain his full load of courses, but he -is ·now in charge of c'..!partmental funds, student jobs, and education of the public. One of his biggest responsibilities involves his role in finding someone to fill the position of meteorologist within the department. Case anticipates little or no change in the focus of the Earth and Environmental Sciences Department , but realizes that minor changes "naturally occur, because people have different styles of doing a job.' ' The importance of his new position , however, does not unnerve him. By his own admission, his major interests are teaching and working on research with students. Case said he feels that he was named acting chairman "to assure continuity" during a transitional period and maintains his perspective by n!membering that his first responsibility is to his students. �.

The ad criticized animal research at Loma Linda U. and encouraged readers to protest the research . 'fhrough ads like this one , and occasionally through more direct interruption of research, animal rights groups are becoming more vocal in their protests against university experiments involving animals. But at the U. of Wisconsin-Madison, the Primate Research Center and a local animal rights group recently called a truce, developing a "Charter of Principles" that satisfies both research needs and the need for humane treatment of animals. The charter spells out principles of animal treatment to ·be used in reviewing . research proposals, says William Bridson, associate director of the center, and allows an Animal Liberation League representative to serve on the review committee. The key to the program's success will be its ability to inform the public about actual research techniques, says Bridson.

A thousand considerations must be recognized and analyzed before a move can be made. In the case of the administration's recent decision to renovate the Stark Learning Center lobby, this was undoubtedly true. Certainly, there must be sound reasons behind the administration's decision to lay new carpeting down in Stark, and to tile the entranceway leading to the lobby. And certainly, the lobby's appearance has been greatly improved as a result of these innovations. But along with the improvements have come warnings to the students who frequent the lobby; now the lobby has been " zoned" as a no-smoking, no-eating, no-lounging area. These directives are not unreasonable, and they are necessary in order to keep the lobby in its new state of repair. But the decision to renovate Stark lobby in this manner, and the resulting necessity for this kind of "zoning," seems to be a result, sorry to say, of a rather shortsighted evaluation. In the first place, no one would dispute tpe fact that students often abused Stark lobby . At the end of some days there was an awesome display of Coke cans, sandwich wrappers, cigarette butts, and other assorted messes littering the lobby floor andfurniture. But this problem had been recognized by students as long as two years ago . Commuter Council discussed the problem at its meetings in 1980, and the Council members agreed that part of the problem was that the lobby was ill-equipped to handle the large amount of traffic it received . The Council's recommendation: that unobtrusive trash containers and cannister ashtrays be placed in the lobby, and that t~e lobby be converted to a "lounge" (complete with plants and more furniture) so that st_udents could utilize the area more effectively. The Council even considered holding coffeehouses in the lobby because of the lobby's prime location and because of its popularity with the student body. The result: Stark lobby remained as it was, and the littering problem continued. One reason students continued to eat, smoke, and "hang out" in the lobby; despite rumblings from the administration, was that the lobby was one of the fewplacesthat ..:ommuter and residence hall students could mingle outside of class. While commuters generally trooped to the Student Center, and residence hall students congregated at the cafe, both groups met halfway in Stark. For commuters, the lobby was especially valuable: it was a comfortable, centrally located locus of interaction. · . When the administration finally decided to begin their clean-up and renovation project of Stark lobby, they seem to have forgotten this. Instead of making the lobby's form fit its function, they seem to have decided to make the reverse true. Would it have been so expensive or inconvenient to put in tile instead of carpeting (tile can't be burned by cigarettes, and can be mopped easily); or to.have installed decorative trash recepticles, or to have worked' outsoniekind uf clean-up campaign with SG or the other Councils, instead of m'erely replacing a ' 'war-torn' ' rug with a new one? Perhaps then there would have been no need for threats of closing the lobby -the livingroom of the " Wilkes family ."

It seems that Reagan , who has ered through nearly two years - reacting, never setting the pace in · n affairs - was finally going to take some firm action to end the ongoArab-lsracli conflict. His ''fresh start'' looks, on the surface, like a bold to carry the Camp David accords to their logical conclusion . Unfortuy there are a few glaring and ominous misconceptions and miscalculainherent in the Reagan plan. p -r 0 The first and most obvious problem with the plan is that it fails to deal · ·cally with the prol,lem of the Palestinians. In short, it docs not recogthe rights of the Palestinians to a homeland . It is somewhat inconceiveand hypothetical that a nation such as the United States which was the . to recognize the tiny state oflsrael in 1948 could tarry so long in recog. g the legitimate rights of the Palestinians to a homeland of their own: r the carnage inflicted by Israelis upon Lebanese and Palestinian alike, need for a Palestinian homeland becomes obvious. Apparently not so to Reagan administration, Reagan's attempt to pass the question and the nsibility for the Palestinians to King Hussein and Jordan points up a · weakness in American foreign policy. Reagan seems to admit that we ply are not capable of bringing enough pressure to bear on the parties lved to resolve the matter in a manner which is equitable and palatable all concerned. The second problem with the Reagan initiative lies in the fact that the assumes that there is a rational government in Israel that really wants a peace. This is, unfortunately, not the case. The Reagan administration learn and then accept the fact that Menachem Begin's historical periveislimited to the Book of Genesis. According to that text- and thus rding to Begin - the land in question was given to the Jews by God. wtherecan be no negotiation over any part of this ''promised'' land. The tion out of hand of the Reagan plan by the Begin government indicates t the Israelis have no intention of ever negotiating in good faith the vital tinian issue. For this reason alone, there will never be peace in the die East as long as the current reactionary government remains in power 1srael. What is necessary is for the leaders of this country to take a firm dagainst further Israeli hegemony in the Middle East. Begin must be that future actions which disturb the fragile balance in the area, such as announcement Monday, September 6, that four more settlements are to established in the West Bank area, will be met with the stiffest embargoes · able to this government - weapons, weapon systems, repair parts and omic credits. Since the U.S. is the primary supplier of weapons to Israel, incumbent upon the United States to put a stop to these so-called "acts defense" by the Israeli government a,1d take whatever actions are n.ecesto bring Israel to the bargaining table. In light of the above, Mr. Reagan's attempt to be a real leader in world · and foreign policy will go the way of his domestic economic policies the drain. His fresh start is unworkable because it ignores the reason which the Palestinians are fighting. It is time for this administration to off its blinders and pull out its ear plugs and see and listen to those in third world. Reagan's administration , like many others before tt, needs bro the basic semantic difference between a terrorist and a nationalist. If is not learned in the very near future - particularly with regard to the e East - this administration and others that will follow will be in for a rough time. tterPolicy · apply to all letThe Beacon for · will be given to letters 11eeithcr (a) written by stuor employees of the college written by outsiders but is.mes that directly condie college. i preferred that letters be towards issues, and not also will be given to letthat arc aitical of Tbe I 0( that ate written in iq,ly to an editorial or -,. 4.

The unfversity· first created 85 j>bs, totaling about 28,000 hours of work , in clerical or mainten.ance areas. "We tried especially to create j>bs that will improve the campus, but wouldn't have ordinarily gotten done,'' says Savarese. These include . refurbishing cbrmitories, landicaping the campus or revising an office filing system . Students make S3.55 an hour. In addition, they can incicate on each weekly time sheet how much they want to save in "work bank" i acco~, to be applied toward fall tuition. For each Sl thus saved, the . . university gives the student a ·50 cent tuition credit. , The 85 positions were dispersed among the 220 j>b applicants through a public lottery '' so students would know it was on the up and up,'' says Savarese. Those 85 students, and other students who work on campus at re~ular student j>bs, can also apply to campus housing for reduced cbrm1tory rates. · r"' The program cost SU $200,G00, but is considered a worthwhile investment because it will keep some students in school who might otherwise have sou~t a less expensive university. "At a private school like . ours, students tuition pays 80% of the cost of their education; so our students are working with a much steeper bill,'' says Savarese.

When the administration ended this, individual dorms took it upon themselves to haze · their freshmen residents. In the past years, hazing has become increasingly humiliating and even dangerous to students as is witnessed to by the deaths of pledges to sororities and fraternities at other colleges and universities. For this reason, the administration and student organizations at Wilkes are condeming participation in hazif1g and enrouraging dorms to participate in the Freshmen Follies sponsored by Inter-Residence Hall Council. Marge LeBlanc, ·president of IRHC states, "The original idea behind hazing was to aqua~nt new students with-college life a:id the urperclassmen.

The street will be changed officially at a ceremoriy on September 20. John Chwalek , Community Affairs Coordinator, stated that through the efforts of Al Bois the chasnge of the street name was approved by the mayor and the city council. Wilkes College Boulevard will extend from Parrish Hall to the CPA. The street will continue to use the college name until December 31, 1983. Chwalek stated that international flaR~ will fly from the light posts along Wilkes College Boulevard. The flags represent the various nations from which Wilkes College students have come. Chwalek added, "We are very proud of the fact that we've had students at Wilkes representing 27 different countries ." , Flags will be flown across the Market Street bridi;(e representing the various states that Wilkes students call home. In the future, these flags will be flown at commencement ceremonies. Chwalek said that credit for the flags should go to the Committee for the . 50th Anni vers'arv.

Opening columns usually run along these lines. It was going to be a discourse upon the value and benefits of sport and was scheduled to highlight and preview the upcoming year. I was all prepared to be enthusiastic and optimistic. As the legendary Dean Ralston says, "Go Witkes!!!" Well, I have put my pompons away. · Recently, by chance I picked-up the Summer 1982 Quarterly and gave the contents a quick perusal. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this college publication, it is the alumni magazine which is organized and written by alumni members for distribution to all graduates of this institution . What I beheld before my eyes left me utterly aghast, and I could feel my blood begin to boil. No, I was not offended by what the magazine contained . I was upset by a gross and unjustifiable omission, an atrocity. l"here was not a single word about the MAC championship which was won by the ·softball team last Spring. No story, no pictures, no nothing. I find this oversight to'be.both appalling~and totally inexcusable . Instead of being enthusiastic and optimistic, I am now angry, bitter and disillusioned. I think that I feel a case of apathy setting in. I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that this college could be so unjust and insensitive, especially towards such a special group of athletes . I admit that I am biased, but who can possibly completely ignore their achievement . The whole story has been well-chronicled in past issues of The Beacon, so I will bypass mention of the specifics. However, what I will say is that what these women did was miraculous and resulted in the making of Wilkes College athletic history. They garnered the first ever MAC title for the women's athletic program, and the college's first since 1977 when the baseball team won this highly coveted title . In my estimation, such a feat would be highly interesting to all of the alumni, especially to the Letterwomen of the past. The two most exciting things on campus last year were the achievements of the wrestling and the softball teams. Unfortunately, this college has done its utmost to keep the latter a deep dark secret . Throughout the season game attendance was pitiful, and even though about a hundred people showed up for ~he M:\C tournament, there should have bce11 much more. After all, the host school was Wilkes . Even after the accomplishment there was secrecy. The public relations office did not release anything to the local press, and there was really no fanfare at all. As far as the college was concerned, it was just ;mother game. This omission from the Summer 1982 Quarterly merely serves as an example of a more complex problem. Up until now I really and truly believed that the college cared about the women's athletic program . I was convinced that full support would always be given to all of the teams. I realize now that I was naive and living a fantasy . . Sometimes reality can be very painful. Sometimes it seems a~ if the program is only maintained because the college is required to under the Title 1-X federal regulations . Noncompliance results in the termination of federal funding to the violating college or university. Therefore, we have teams, coaches, players and uniforms. I must point out that I am not questioning the premium which the college places upon academics, for I am in full agreement with this commitment to scholastic excellence. Learnir:.6 comes first before all else. What I do want to say is that a commitment to athletics is also important and emails more than just the aforementioned items and token appearances at games by administrators and faculty members. The most important ingredients are sincerity, sensitivity and taking pride in the program. All of these are sorely lacking at Wilkes in regards to the women's athletic programs. The way I feel about this matter is really unimportant. This column will probably be shrugged off as just another editor blowing off steam . What is truly important is the way the coaches and the players feel. They have to live with the fact that Wilkes College does not give a damn about them. I can only begin to imagine how much it must hurt. Disrespect such as this may have already tarnished the glitter of all of their memories of those shining moments last Spring. Right now they are probably wondering what it will take in order to receive due respect and recognition. Self-fulfillment can only carry one so far. The potential for the winning of more titles is a real part of the Wilkes women's program . All of the teams call themselves the "Wilkes Winning Women'' and take great pride in themselves and each other. However, if this college does not positively change its attitude toward the programs, there just may not be anymore championships . CrossCountry Team Goin Co·ed For .1 982 Fall Seaso such that it would "make the program attractive to everyone ," and second he wanted it to give his runners lots of free time to study. Cross country runners can feasibly train on their own, but in order to improve they must spend some time running as a team. Team practices afford them the opportunity to push each other to the peaks of their ability. Bellairs has scheduled three team practices per week at times he deems convenient for the team. They run on Tuesdays and Thursdays during activity period and on Friday mornings at 6:45. Other than these designated times, the team is left to run on its own. How much the individual member runs is dependent upon availability of time and the amount of dedication . Bellairs credits his new practice schedule as a reason for the good by Ellen Van Riper Coming off an impressive 12-6 record, the Wilkes cross country program will be sporting a new look for 1982, a co-ed team. Coach Bart Bellairs has six female runners and he expects that number to grow . Bellairs has revamped his practice schedule and has added a host of top freshmen recruits to his already fleet corps of talented runners . Coach Bellairs spent last year actively recruiting top notch runners for the Wilkes program. One of the most common sights on campus last year was Bellairs conducting a tour for a prospective student. His hard work and dedication paid off, and this fall he fully expects to reap the fruits of his labor. Expected to immediately make . contributions are three of last year's top high school runners in the Wyoming Valley . George Hockenbury was the number one man for Hanover Are , . Greg Quinn and Owen Murph>· r:;.n number one and two,respectively,for Bishop Hoban. Also expected to keep pace is Tom Morpath from New Jersey . Gone from last year's squad are Ken Pascoe amd Bill Wolfe, and it will be especially difficult to fill Ken's shoes. Ken was both the team captain and the number one runner, and he provided the team with both leadership and consistency. His dedication and positive attitude were a fine example for last year's young runners. Expected to fill these big shoes will be sophomore David Levandoski. Last year David ran number two and consistently came up with solid performances. However, number one will not be had without a struggle . Fellow returnees Tom McGuire.Joe Dill, Andy Grant and Bill Lynch should push Levandoski to the wire . It should prove to be an exciting race. · Bellairs has designed his new practice schedule with two goals in mind. First of all, he wanted it to be turnout for the distaff side of program. The girls practice at same time as the guys. The girls who have been prac ing are all experienced runners, some have run cross country or tr in high school. According to lairs, they are all "sweet girls good runners." He also makes claim that they are '' the best loo girls' cross country team in the tion.'' This year's team has no seni and yet, Bellairs is "very opti tic.'' He has faith in the talent of young thoroughbreds, a~d beli that his innovations will have a p tive effect upon the program. fact, he is bold enough to prod that "The future is ours.

TS _ Page 12, The Beacon, · September 10, 1982 ·\ Yingut ,.~ ~akest -O ver ·Soccer Program by Ellen Van Riper A new face is oftimcs accompanied by renewed hope, especially in the sphere of collegiate atlrletics . Each year always seems to bring with it another savior. Phil Wingert will be the new face on the soccer sidelines this Fall, but he is not promising any miracles . He has a realistic view of the program and knows that extensive recruitment and patience will be the keys to success in the future . In addition to his soccer duties, Wingert will be filling the position of Sports Information Director and will be supervising a few physical education classes . A 1tJ77, gtaduate of _Cortland bm: ih New Y<1rk, Wihgett i nd stranger to ~fthet the spat of soccet t,t Division 1II atHletits. He played soccet fot four yea:rs fo r a highly successful program , and in his senior year he was a starting fullback for a team which made it to the Division III national finals . He graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Physical Education from Cortland and then went on to Virginia Tech to receive 1, Masters Degree in Athletic Administration in 1978. Wingert spent three years as both the soccer coach and the Athletic Direcror for a New York public high school. Being the AD entailed much contact with the media - Wingert was able to gain some fundamental experience; in the management of sports information . The lure of college socc<:r was difficult to resist, and Wingert left his position at the high school and spent last year as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech. The program at Tech is Division I, so this too was an in valu:1.ble experience . Sb why forego a D ivision t assist attt ctJath ing position ttJ com e to . W ilkes ? According to W ingert , there are many reasons . Wilkes is in a beautiful area which is reasonably close to his home town , and perhaps most important of all , it afforded him an opportunity to continue as a head coach in an environment similar to the one in which he played. Filling the dual role of head soccer coach and SID is both challenging and time consuming .. Wingert feds that the combination of his past experience in sports information, the fact that he is a bachelor, and his strong and diversified background in soccer was the decisive factor which gained him his position at Wilkes. As far as coaching is concerned , Wingert approaches it in a manner similar to his assessment of the Wilkes soccer program ; realistically . He does not promise miracles, nor does he expect them from his players . His goal in regards to a team is " to get as close as possible to its potential," and he does this by instilling an atm osphere of fun . combined with hard work. Mistakes and losses are inevitable , but they are only excusable if something is learned from them . Wingert expects his players to Softball Update: Lady Colonels Rank Highly In NCAA Final Seasonal Stats lu ~II p Vit,t ffi~r Thi~ js f~C fi11~I i:ljapnir of a truly m iraculous and mcredible story. (I only wish that I had the movie rights to this one.) .It all began as a seemingly unrealizable dream in the early days of last spring. Back then the thought of winning a championship was at the most a whim; it was a fantasy which would occasionally peek out into the world of reality for a fleeting moment and tantalize the mind . As the days passed by and the victories accumulated, these once furtive glances became unabashed stares. The fantasy was becoming increasingly fond of what it saw hap- pening in the real world . Time and time again the Lady Colonels would overcome incredible odds to defeat their opponents . They seemed to always come up w,ith just what was necessary to win. Back on April 24 _:u Kirby-Park the fantasy stared a bit too long. Perhaps like the rest of the spectators there it could not believe what was happening. The Lady Colonels came back in dramatic fashion to defeat both Delaware Valley 4- 3 and Muhlenberg 12-11 to garner the first-ever women's MAC title for Wilkes College . The fantasy had ended , and reality had begun . And yet , there is still more. After winning the tide, the Lady Colonels anxiously awaited the NCAA's announcement of the teams which had been sdcq ~ to cqrnp~ic in fhe regionals . The Division III Championships were scheduled to contain ten teams with at least one Fepresentative from each of four regions. Throughout most of the season, the Lady Colonels had been ranked number one in the North Central region, and they were deservedly chosen as one of the elite ten . Going into the regionals the team was seeded tenth , and thus were paired with the top seed, Trenton State. On May 14 and 15 the team traveled to Trenton to play a best-ofthree series . The ladies gave it their all and foughi: hard, but this time the odds were just too ·great, They had run out of miracles and .were defeated in two games 10-2 and 8-5. Playing rough against the top team in the· country and losing is certainly nothing to be ashamed about. The ladies ended the season with a 15-71 overall record . Approximately two months after the championships, the NCAA released its final Division III softball statistics, and the Lady Colonels finished highly in both team and individual categories. As a team the ladies finished sixth in scoring with an 8.9 per game average . They scored 196 runs overall. Individually, three Lady Colonels received mention . Heading this group was junior catcher and team captain Karen Johnson whp placed third in batting, RBIs, home runs and triples . In 68 at-bats Karen connected for 33 hits, a .485 average . She had 34 RBIs overall and a 1.48 per game average. Her home run and triple totals of seven and five were good for averages of . 30 and .22 . Also included in the RBI ratings were junior Cathy Lee arid sophomore Karen -Bove . Cathy finished seventh with a 1. 26 average and 29 overall, and Karen was tenth with _ 1.09 per game and 25 total. Several of the team members also received recognition in the form of All-Conference and All-Star selection . Karen Johnson and freshman pitcher Sue Schwartz were chosen as . members of both the NPWIAA AllConference and the MAC Northern Division All-Star teams . Stacey Keely and Karen. Bove were also selected to the MAC team, and Cathy Lee was selected to the NPWIAA team . Congratulations to all of you . This story of a miracle is now complete , but the memories still linger on. ,No one involved will ever forget . it, as attested to by Coach Roberts, ''Even to this day I can only feel tears as I often have flashbacks of all of the special moments with each and every player. ,I,t is something I could never forget . Look forward to the sequel th is spring . play within their ability and to give a full effort all the time . As far as discipline goes, he expects them to do what is asked of them and to show respect for the school, the coaches, the referees and the team . In other words , they are to "behave like gentlemen ." Wingert describes this year's team as a "good group of guys who work hard and who are ea~er to learn." However, "they have no real concept of the game .'' This plus a lack of experience has prompted Wingert to assess his team as being able to go . 500 if they beat the teams of their equal skill. To do this the team will have to avoid injuries and receive solid performances from a number of players. On offense.Wingert will be looking to a host of players to supply the firepower. Sophomores Jim Hancharick , John Ackerman and Mike McKenna will team with Broome Community College transfer Greg Losier and junior Bill Ronca to hopefully fill the _nets for the blue and gold . The defense will be strengthened by the return of senior goalie Bob Bruggeworth who missed all of last season with an injury . In front of him will be senior stopper back Scott Le Febre , sophomore sweeper Tim Williams and sophomore fullback Paul O'Leary . Backing up Bruggeworth in goal will be fr~shman Dave Riemeret . ~ by Rebecca WI .As part of the W 0th Anniversary Cele mber 24 has been ers Day and will be r ost formal event < nany ,a nniversary acti, The Founders Day ill celebrate the t ilkes College as Bu i;ollege in 19 33.

As you enter the sacrosanct yet much-written-on halls of Wilkes, I'm sure you 're feeling as .all of us did when we first came here . You probably don ' t know where to begin. Of course, wheQ the semester starts, you (like everyone else) will be deluged with 'insidious homework assignments , prodigiox oookstore bills, and the innumerable intellectual irritations that are part of '' higher education." This is a beginning you can't escape, because it sort of creeps up on you and then hits you from behind. bne moment you're shivering in anticipation of college, and the next moment you' re shuddering with the realization about college. But cheer up. There will be many extra-curricular activi ties available to you, and I urge you to seek them out, to investigate BACKI W them, to boldly go where no man has gone before (oops, wrong schtick). Investigate everything, and choose an activity that will help make your "beginning" a fine one. int: The BPacon is one .such activitv : The Beacon is the Wilkes College newspaper. and it is written, compiled,layed out, and distributed by Wilkes students. The eleven members of our editorial staff are competent, interesting men and women who have different academic interests, but who have a common interest in writing. We are very proud of our staff (two are on the wagon now, one must report to the clinic only on weekends, and one has recently completed a paper dealing with ''the problems posed by freewheeling nude dogs in centralized urban regions"). These editors supervise a staff of reporters for each of their respective departments in addition to writing articles and organizing the paper. We have a lot of fun together, and at the same time we learn valuable communications and journalistic skills (Ha. Doesn't show, does it?). H e want you . (I'll bet that scared you.) We have evil, deep dark motives for publishing this special Beacon issue. We want to lure you away from all those other activities on campus (gasp) and we want to trai you to write effectively (oh no) and show you how you can have confidence in interviews (stop, stop) and show you how a newspaper is put together (pant, pant) and teach you how to prepare copy, work office machinery, do heacilines, learn copy-editin~, (AGGHHHHHH! !!) .. . O.K ., I II stop. Just a little bi~ e . Our m<:etings are held in the- Beacon office , second floor Parrish Hall, on Fridays at 3: 00 p.m. Come up and see us sometime!

My position on The Beacon is assistant news/ feature editor. My responsibilities for The Beacon are dual; the position demands that stories be written for both news and features. Covering these two aspects of life at Wilkes College makes my position on The Beacon especially interesting, because the writing assignments are varied in depth- and research . Feature stories usually require book or reference research, whereas straight news stories demand interviews with faculty and students , and so the writing entailed is diversified. While straight news coverage involves writing the most important facts in a story first, and then moving down in succession to the least important facts, features may take a more colorful approach or add a personal approach to a story.

I wou ld also li ke to in cl ude in th e section a variety of short features that take a h umoro us or uniqu e look at the differen t aspec ts of eve ryday life. So you see , the feature section covers a wide variety of subjects. And speaking of variety , did you know that a feature story can be written a bit differently than a news story? Feature stories are often written in a ''lighter'' tone than news stories . This often gives the writer a bit more creative freedom . A ll this makes for articles that are easier and more enjoyable to read . Now that you know what feature is. let me explain our meeting times . O ur weekly staff meetings are held on Fridays at 3 p.m . in The Beacon office; the office is located on the second floor of Parrish Hall. All staff members must attend these meetings. During these meetings we critique the current issue of The Beacon (point out both its good and bad points), discuss the content of future issues, and we distribute assignments. Generally, reporters have one week to complete an article. Stories assigned to a reporter during one weekly meeting are due at the next meeting. Our first meeting will he held on September 3. For those of you who thrive on challenges, let me introduce our Wednesdav afternoon layout sc·~ sions. D~ring this time, we "set up" The Beacon by placing the art · ides. pictures, etc. on their respect · ive pages in a way that will he most appealing to the rea~er. The war we lav out the page 1s the way 1t 1s printed. (The challenge is in get· ting everything to "fit") . Yet. despite all the obstacles lavout pre sents. we alwavs manage to get to the printer's on· time! . This undoubtedlv sounds like a great deal of work: Actually. it's about an equal mixture of work and fun . So don't jump to the conclus ion that we spend all off our t ime discussing "business." W e don 't. Like other organizations on cam pus, Beacon people know how to get the maximum amount of fun out of their work . I'll bet that vou didn't know that th ere are " rewards" for a ll the effort that goes in to bei ng a Beacon repo rter. First and foremost is the opportunity fo r advancement. The experience you ga in as a reporter is invaluable should you decide to apply for an editorial position . Being a Beacon reporter gives you the opportunity to become acquainted with many interesting people. This can be especially important to students, like yourselves, who are en tering an entirely new stage of life: college. There is also a great deal of pride and satisfaction that at-companies a reporter's job. This is especially evident when you see your work in print, preceded by vour bv -line. , By ·now you should be asking yourself.'' How do I become a reporter?" All you have to do is contact any Beacon staff member or, better yet, just come to one of our Friday meetings. No previous writing experience is necessary! The Beacon staff will train anvone who is interested in becoming a reporter. All you need is the will ingness to learn . So. if. you're inquisitive. adventuresome. fun -loving individual . why don't you try something new? Become a Beacon feature reporter' See vou September 3.

Many of you are probably saying. "Wait, Becks, I'm not sure I know exactly what news is." Well kids. · news is what's happening around us. on campus (hence the "Drugs, Sex, and Rock -n -Roll") and off. News is what you need to know and/ or are interested in . For ex ample, killing your roommate cir fully paying your tuition bill in cash would he considered news (note : if anyone is planning on doing either of these things, please call me first and give me time to get to you with our photographer). Since we do not usually get too many homicides at Wilkes , The Beacon generally covers student organization meetings , campus eve nt s and activities, exciting or inventive things students are doing , and any new developments in school policies o r departments . Perhaps, if there are an y budding W oodwards and / or Bernsteins out th ere (hint : thi s m ea ns you 11), Th e Beacon cou ld do some in vest igative repo rt ing this year.

There is really nothing quite like the experience of athletic participation. Especially on the intercollegiate level, the excitement and the int~nsity of emotion generated are absolutely unparalleled . The popu lar phrase ''the thrill of victory and the agon y of defeat" is an apt des cription , for each sporti ng event is in and of itself a human drama depicting the entirety of emot ions and experiences. The camaraderie of a team and the courage , deteJ mination , desi re , anger , fru strati on , and ultimate joy experienced by the indi vi dual athletes are readily visi ble to even the most cas ual of obse(vers.

This year I am the sole sports editor, and I am anxiously awaiting the excitement and the challenges to come. In addition to my academ ic and journalistic activities, I am also an athlete, specifically a volleyb_all player . In the past I have also been a meinl,-r of thr women 's haskethall and softball teams. Franklv, I love ,pun , and I ieci that my personal athletic experience provides me a beneficial perspective · for my writ ing. I can relate to other athletes because I am one of them , but yet I can also be c)etathed and objective. I believe that this positively affects my articles for The Beacon. Finally, I approach both sports journalism and athletics with total dedication . Unfortunately, every rose bush has its thorns. This duality of writer/athlete poses a few sticky problems. There are three especially sharp and annoying thorns. The first is an inherent conflict of interests between Ellen the athlete and Ellen the editor. Ellen the athlete on occasion deserves publicity, but Ellen the editor cannot give her any. I cannot, as they say, blow my own horn . Secondly, there is the matter of objectivity concerning the volleyball team . It would be easy to only write favorable articles. H owever , I have become able to remain objectively detached , even though this is often painful. Lastly , since I am a woman athlete , it would also be easy for me to become biased towards the woman's teams. I conscious! y try to give all athletes , both men and women, equal press and objectivity in order to avoid this difficulty. All of these problems, for the most part, fortunately can be alleviated by the presence of other sports reporters. Wil kes College offers a variety of at hletic teams and encourages participation by all students. In the fall there is football. soccer and cross country for men. and field hockey, volleyball, and tennis for women. Wrestling , men's and women's basketball, and co-ed . swimming comprise the winter teams, and in the spring there is baseball. golf. and tennis for men and softha!! fer women . In addition. there is an extensive intramural program that i, open to all students.
