Plans Career Day A Career Day for Junior and Senior Nursing students will be sponsored by Wilkes College on Monday, November 16, at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Performing Arts . . The recruiting program hours are set for 10 a.m. to 12 noon. In addition to Wilkes students, students from Luzerne County Community College, College Misericordia, and Marywood College will be invited to attend . Representatives from nineteen Pennsylvania and eleven out-of-state hospitals and organizations will be present to discuss employment and graduate school opportunities. Information which w ill be available will be geared toward helping the nursing student to clarify and achieve career goals. Here, George Wolak, vice-president, Mark Morgan, treasurer, Mrs. Rosalie Gulla, faculty adviser, Gary Deeb, president and Karen Holmer, secretary, all officers of the Nursing Student Organization, prepare for the career day . by Mary Kay Pogar Peer counseling, a service for Wilkes students, will soon be established at the college by Student Government. The program will begin next semester, but it will not be in its final stages untiJ next year. The idea for creating this service was conceived by SC President Ana Nunez. She originally started a peer counseling program in high school when she was student council president, and felt that the same type of service was needed at Wilkes. She noted, • that when COPUS ran a financial aid peer counseling program, many students went to this organization with academic problems. This indicated that a service that would provide academic and social counseling would be welcomed . Although applications for peer counselors are not yet due, early response to the service has been good. According to Cindy Bonham, Chairperson of the Peer Counseling program, "The deans think it's great and the Student Affairs Council has been very sup- portive." Nunez also pointed out, "A lot of students have already come to me asking how they can get involved, or just telling me they think it's a good idea ." For those wishing to become peer counselors, the process is not difficult. First, a student must obtain a peer counseling application, on which he indicates his reasons for wanting to become a counselor, and his qualifications for the job. The student must also provide two references for a counseling position. The applications and references are due at the Student Government office on November.16. After being submitted, the applications will then be reviewed. Of the total number of applicants, 40 will be chosen for personal interviews . An interviewing committee consisting of the student deans, Cindy Bonham and two other students will then choose 20 from the 40 interviewees to become peer counselors. Students with previous counseling experience are preferred, but any qualified student is eligible to Plans For Fiftieth Anniversary Continue by Mary Kay Pogar Plans for the 50th anniversary of the founding of Bucknell University Junior College, now Wilkes College, are continuing, and already steps have been taken to make the 1982-83 anniversary yea r a memorable one. Every department in the college will be involved in the celebration, and each will sponsor certain activities to mark the historic occasion. Although many of their plans are still in the early stages, some departments have already indicated what events can be expected next year. Various symposia and exhibitions are planned, Inside Newly-Elected SG Officers p. 3 CC President p. 5 Football Team Loses Again p.8 and several exchange programs with Bucknell University have been suggested. Symposia in health, education, business and chemistry are all being planned in the respective departments. Both Dr. William Sterling and Mr. Jay Siegfried have suggested holding exchange programs with Bucknell. Art department chair- man Dr. Sterling plans a faculty art exchange, which would feature a joint show involving the faculty of both schools. Mr. Siegfried of the theatre department has stated that a co-operative exhibit of scene designs from the schools could be arranged. He has also proposed that a special anniversary theatre production be considered. Since Course Introduces Film Theory by John Finn "The Art of the Film ," a new topics course intended to be a general introduction to film theory and aesthetics techniques, is being offered for the Spring semester by the Department of Language and Literature. The course, listed as Communications 298A, will be team taught and will consist of a W_!lekly program of a movie screening and lectures dealing with diverse aspects of film. Dr. Norina Schulman, Dr. Alan Stoekl, and Dr . Michael O'Neill will teach the course. Films already selected for examination include Birth of a Nation, Citizen Kane, The Big Sleep, Bonnie and Clyde, and Psycho. The team teaching will allow films to be examined from several angles: technical aspects such as editing, framing, screenplay, acting, sound, etc.; contextual aspects such as characterization or symbolism; philosophical or sociological aspects. The course schedule now includes a Monday and Wednesday lecture from 12 to 1 :00 and a Friday screening from 12:00-2:00. Some of the films in the course will be shown in conjunction with the Manuscript film series. If this course is successful, the Department of Language and Literature may consider a four semester sequence of courses in film. The courses would include the same introductory course, two courses on the history of Film, and one additional topics course that would change a; cording to interest . "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" was the first production in 1948, this p1ay may be consid.ered. A celebration of the anniversary in music may also be feasible. Dr. Terrance Anderson, chairman of the music department, has stated that there is a possibility of commissioning a work by a prominent American composer. This work would premier at the college with chorus and orchestra. Students will also be actively involved in the anniversary celebration according to SC president Ana Nunez. A joint SC meeting with Wilkes and Bucknell is a possibility, and parties with an anniversary theme could be held . A formal ball for May of 1983 which would involve students has also been suggested . . Publicity for the anniversary year has already begun . A logo commemorating the event is already in use and will be used on s.tationery, badges and pins in the near future . The logo is the window of learning, and has the theme of 50 years, 1933-1983 incorporated into the design. Plans for the anniversary celebration will continue throughout the year. At this point, ideas have been proposed and approved, and chairpersons of the various committees are working on the details of the plans. apply . In some instances, those without experience In the area may even be preferred, since some students with previous experience may be over-confident and may over-step their limitations, according to Nunez. After the peer counselors are chosen, they will attend training 'sessions with the Mental Health / Mental Retardation Service, to learn ways to help people deal with stress, academic prob· !ems, and social problems. In addition, student government members will meet with the counselors to inform them of services available at the college. SC also plans continued training throughout a counselor's tenure, through seminars with community agencies and through discussion sessions with other peer counselors. Because of this contact with a variety of agencies, a peer counselor will be able to refer students to the agency, and will be able to personally introduce the student to someone at the agency. This will make the student's contact with the agency more personal. Both Bonham and Nunez see the primary function of the peer counselor as listening to the problems of a student objectively. The counselor will not offer advice, but will usually refer the student to an agency or person who is better qualified to deal with that particular problem. The purpose of the peer counseling program is not to replace the services already existing, but to augment them. The counselors will be available for students who do not wish to approach the deans, or who are not sure where to go for help. All contact with the peer counselor will be kept in strictest confidence. Since the service is still in its early stages, not all the Peer Counseling details have been worked out . However, Nunez stated that "it has a high priority in SC. " By next year, the program is expected to be in operation in its final state. It is only then that an assessment of the success of the program can be made. BATON ROUGE , La. - The first U.S. chess champion, Paul Morphy, had such a remarkable memory that he could recite the text of Louisiana's civil code. He passed the Louisiana bar exam at age 19, became the youngest world chess champion at 21 and retired three years later for lack of competitors.

They are illegal because they are made to look like something they are-not, and there's a federal law against that. U.S. marshals at the request of the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Justice - recently seized so-called "look-a-like" drugs at nine manufacturers in various parts of this country, netting about 15 million filled capsules and manufactured tablets and more than 20 million empty capsules imprinted with counterfeit markings. The marshals also seized machinery used ' in the manufacture of the counterfeits, including punches, dies, imprinters and presses, valued at more than $1 million. FDA also has received Science Teachers by Marian T. Koviack More than 40 elementary school science teachers from throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania are attending a special Teacher Development Program in Science at Wilkes College. The program opened this summer with a session which was held from August 17 to 21. After orientation, the teachers participated in a week of activities. Local communities were used so that the teachers could also use the resources and schedule field trips with their classes. The group visited the nuclear power plant in Berwick, a coal mine in Scranton, a windmill near Hazleton and the historic coal mining village at Eckley. The teachers also received takehome materials such as filmstrips, tapes, cassettes and ditto masters. These are to be used in the classroom to illustrate scientific concepts. During the fall and spring semesters, classes are being held at the college on Tuesday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m . Dr . Joseph T . Bellucci of the Education Department is directing the program , which focuses on two critical issues in science: energy and pollution . The program staff includes Dr. Ralph Rozelle of the Chemistry Department, Dr. Louis Rigley from the Biology Department, Mr . Francis Salley in the Chemistry Department, and Mr. Walter Placek from the Physics Department . The tuition-free program is possible because of a combined grant from the U.S . Department of Education and the National Science Foundation . The objectives of the program are threefold: · to improve the elementary school teachers' knowledge of the scientific subject matter, to help teachers in identifying and using local resources which will aid in the teaching of science, and to develop and maintain communication and cooperation between scientists at the college and teachers in the elementary schools. A total of nine giaduate credits will be awarded for participation in the summer, fall and spring sessions.

The counterfeiters also make pills that look like "downers." That's the street name for legal prescription sedatives such as Quaalude-300 or potent narcotic analygesics like Dilaudid. The real things are often abused through illegal sale and use. FDA can only police counterfeit manufacture through its seizure mechanism , but the agency also is cooperating with states in enacting legislation banning the distribution of the counterfeit drugs. A recent count found that 13 states had enacted such legislation. In addition to the illegalities and dangers, FDA sees these problems posed by the counterfeit drug products: 1.They induce school children and others who do not usually abuse drugs to do so . 2. They counteract drug abuse educational programs by fostering the false notion that these products are legal and safe. 3. They give the false impression that real amphetamines, diet pills, etc ., are not as potent and dangerous as they really are. The cheap imitations confound federal Drug Enforcement Administration and police efforts to deal with real drugs of abuse. · For more i:nformation about Look-alike Drugs, contact your nearest Consumer Affairs Officer, Theresa A.

Under the present system, if a commuter is judged eligible and receives a parking permit during the first semester, he is issued the permit for the entire year. If individuals' schedules or circumstances change after the first semester, and they are no longer eligible, the council has no system for reviewing those cases and re- issuing the permits to another commuter for the second semester. The council is considering a system that will allow review of all permits and new applications after each semester. To further improve commuter parking conditions, the council has approached Wilkes-Barre City officials with a proposal to have the parking meters near campus adjusted to allow a maximum parking time of four hours instead of the present two hours. The price would increase accordingly.

One of the prime reasons the group made the trip was to study migrating waterfowl and seaside ecology. Some of the waterfowl the students observed were snow geese, Canadian geese, and varieties of herons and egrets, some of which even Dr. Houseknecht had never before seen. Other interesting sightings included several Sika deer, a breed of small Japanese elk transplanted to America in the 1920's, and two Delmarva fox squirrels, members of an endangered species, which are approximately two-and-a-half time the size of our common grey squirrel. Of course, there also were the ponies. Prior to the Chincoteague trip, the group had attended a lecture by Dr. R. Keiper, a biologist who specializes in the Chincoteague pony. Knowledge obtained from Dr. Keiper's lecture allowed the students to view the ponies as subjects of biological importance, and not just as tourist attractions. / The careful attention paid to the scientific applications of the trip did not detract from the students' enjoyment. Dr. Houseknecht stated that the relaxing atmosphere, beautiful weather, and terrific seafood were among the trip's high points, and indicated that for the participants in the excursion, fall break '81 was a time well spent.

Assateague is an island off the coast of Maryland; Chincoteague is an islet nearby in Virginia. Most people go to the area for Pony Penning Day, where the famous Chincoteague ponies are rounded up. The Biology Club, however, had other ideas. Though the trip was to be fun, its focus was scientific, and while the students visited the area, they also studied it.

Thanks to your help . the Red Cross received 280 pints of blood out of 320 donors, making this the most successful Blood Donor Day ever. I would like to take this opportunity to show my deep appreciation to everyone that made this day very special. First of all, I would like to thank Janet Sharkey and Mario Silvestri, my co- chairman's for the Blood Day, your help and support was •greatly appreciated. To the rest of the Human Services members, thanks so much for all you gave to everyone, because of all of you the day went smoothly. * Thanks goes to Commuter Council, IRHC, and Student Government for their help and cooperation in promoting and advertising the Blood Day. Especially through the efforts of Commuter Council we had a tremendous improvement in the amount of commuter donors. A few more faculty and administration even came out to support this worthy cause. Special thanks goes to Dean Ralston for all the care and enthusiasm he gives to every Blood Day. Without his help Wilkes College Blood Donor Days would probably never occur. Thanks also goes to everyone else who voluntarily gave of their time for such a worthy cause, your help will never be forgotten . And lastly I would like to thank everyone who gave up just a little of their time to give the gift of life to another. All of you made this day very special for me.

Co-Chairman Students' Committment To Peer-Tutoring Apparent At October 27 Orientation To The Editor: Peer-tutoring is the most important component of the academic support services provided by the various developmental programs sponsored by Wilkes College. Its success depends upon the extent to which students are willing to share their gifts, and to spend many hours of unpaid labor preparing for tutorial sessions and developing effective tutorial skills. It was evident at the Peer-Tutor Orientation, held October 27, that the College has the potential to maintain the best possible peer- tutoring programs because its students possess the degree of commitment that this entails. We would like to thank all who attended for the high quality of their participation, and for sharing with each other and with us both their concerns and their sound and creative suggestions for improving tutorial services. Sincerely yours, The Staffs of the Act 10 I Program, the Developmental Learning Center, the Economic Opportunity Consortium, and Upward Bound College Day Care Center Deemed Necessary By Ayres To The Editor: Even before the letter below was sent to the Beacon and to the Faculty Policy Committee, President Capin approached me about establishing a Wilkes d_ay care center. Mr. Capin had given Cara's and my appeals serious consideration over the past year. What finally pushed the President toward his recent decision was the Reagan budget cuts, which have disqualified students from receiving day care aid. I have asked the Beacon to publish the letter below because it highlights some important day care issues and dramatizes the faculty's and administrations' concern for the "nontraditional" student. Sincerely, Olivia C. Ayres Faculty Policy Committee Attention: Dr. Joel Berlatslcy, Chairman Dear Committee: Last year Cara Berryman and I appealed to the Faculty Policy Committee to approach the Administration about providing space for a day care center at the college. Cara and I are appealing again for similar assistance. Why we are approaching the committee again needs some explanation. After the committee's meeting with the President, Mr. Capin was rather helpful. He contacted Mr. Bernard Hargadon, Director of the YMCA, who agreed to rent space to us. Unfortunately, we were not able either to rent the needed · space at the time nor put a deposit down for rental of the desired room. After investigating certain matters concerning liability and state certification, Cara and I were finally in a position to resume nogotiations with Mr. Hargadon . Much to our dismay, Mr. Hargadon no longer had space to rent to us. Cara and I are frustrated but undaunted. We refuse to drop the matter, especially now that the College's need for day care for Football Team Responds To Reese's Comments Editor's Note: The following letter was sent to Athletic Director John Reese in regard to his comments in a local paper concerning the Wilkes football team. It was signed by the entire team, and a copy was also sent to the local paper . Dear Mr. Reese: As 2 members of the Wilkes College football team who have been with the program for 4 years, we would like to comment on your remarks made in the Friday, October 23, 1981, issue of The Times Leader. In the article, you are cited as saying the Wilkes College football team lacks numbers and quality. Let us say that you are half right. We are undoubtedly low in numbers, however, do you really think it is fair to say we are lacking in quality? Also, do you feel you are in the position to judge the quality of the team? You are not one of our coaches, you do not practice with us, and consequently, how could you judge the ability of the individual team members? Mr. Reese, we would like to know what your definition of quality is. We feel that what you are calling a lack of quality is actually a lack of experience. Presently, we have on our team 7 seniors (three of which are transfers), 7 juniors, 11 sophomores, and 22 freshmen . We think the figures speak for themselves . Initially this letter was to be signed by Mike Gould and Todd Nicholas, but as part of a team, which we consider a qualitative characteristic, we brought this matter . to the attention of our fellow teammates and they too agreed with our feelings on this subject. Therefore, we are signing this letter, Respectfully degraded, The Wilkes College football team NOTICE There will be a mandatory meeting of all students who intend to student teach during the spring semester on Wednesday, November 18, at 12:00 in room 133 of the Stark Learping Center. students, faculty, and staff is even greater for reasons that I will outline below . I would first like to reiterate some of the points that I made in our original appeal. A day care center would help in the recruiting of both faculty members and students . Certainly, the students' need for day care is much greater as a result of the Reagan Administration's budget cuts. Social Services, in particular Title XX Services, have been cut drastically. I have lost the day care aid that I had been receiving through the ' Private Provider's Project. Even more serious is that the students, who received substantial aid before, are no longer eligible under any program to receive day care aid. There are 25 students enrolled at Wilkes whom these budget cuts will affect. Obviously, it would be in the interest of the College to establish day care, since loss of day care will certainly increase the demands on students' pockets as well as their energies. Some or all students may find it necessary to drop out. Such a loss, in terms of tuition revenues, would be unfortunate. Indeed, such a loss would be morally regretable. Wilkes may be losing "nontraditional" students at a time when the college is most in need of such students. The long range planning report in particular encourages the recruitment of more "non-traditional'' and continuing education students. Wilkes' success at such recruitment will be minimal if the college does not provide services that would encourage the enrollment of these students. The establishment of day care facilities would be eminently practical in one other respect. Studies of industry and business have in- dicated that the efficency of workers rises as the morale of the workers rises. An easing of anxiety about child care would certainly raise morale of the faculty and staff at the college. I have saved what I feel is the most important issue for last . Worries about child care usually fall in the lap of the woman, either because she is a single parent, divorced or widowed, or because, traditionally, our society sees child care as the duty of the woman. Therefore, the woman's recent struggles to rise as a professional, to break into the job market, are difficult and can sometimes be thwarted by the frustrating and often unsuccessful attempt to juggle both family and work responsibilities. The College's support of day care would demonstrate a much needed sensitivity to the professional and potential professional woman's needs. "Affirmative action" in this context is a rather bloodless term, yet "affirmative action" is exactly this sensitivity. Establishing day care facilities would be in the true spirit of "affirmative action," indeed, would demonstrate the Administration's sincere commitment to all faculty, staff, and students.

Knox sees his role as president, however, •as more of a role in getting ALL students involved and getting spirit on campus. Knox says he has been working closely with Ana Nunez and Bill Lourie, presidents of SC and IRHC respectively, toward that goal. They have even put 'enthusiasm' on their agendas. The son of an Air Force man, Knox has done a lot of traveling and has lived in many places, including Germany for three years. 'Tve seen many dil'ferent student environments which range from an active student body to an inactive one," he commented. "Wilkes is borderline." Knox feels that because of his experience, he has a good outlook on the way thin.gs should be and he ha.s a strong drive to make things that way. He believes that his major in political science has given him the greatly needed knowledge of how to lead and how to organize and motivate. He says that it is his job to get more people involved and to get the ideas down, then let others develop those ideas. "T he freshmen are really into it," he said with a spirited, broad smile. 'Tm really excited about how enthusiastic they are! " He mentioned, as an example, a freshman who gave an unexpected detailed and zealous report when asked to find out some basic information. "I want to get people to lose their inhibitions and become in- Commuter Council president Joe Knox sits at his desk in the CC office on the front of which hangs a poster with the Council's mott~: "Go for it!" volved," he said with determination. "I believe this would bring the college closer together. " He said it is easier for dormitory students to get involved in the activities than commuter students because the activities are happening all around the dorm students. Commuters have to make special trips back to the campus or have .to stay someplace on campus after their classes until the activities begin . Knox feels that since it is more difficult for commuters to become involved, they need to become more enthusiastic. Knox said that he has been active as much as possible. He said that his involvement with COPUS served as a strong personal developer, especially in areas of advocacy, student leadership, and government. He mentioned that COPUS deals with legislation which is vital to the future of, students, but that this legislation • seemed removed from the campus and it was hard to motivate people. He feels that Commuter Council provides him with the opportunity to work more closely with people and to offer more activities. . · Commuter Council, under his direction, is working on many activities this year. Knox said that the Council organized early and now everything is set up. "We've accomplished quite a bit already," he said. Knox feels that the major concern of the Council is the parking problem. He feels that it is a year-long project rather than a beginning-of-the-year-only project. He said that the Council is THIS WEEKENDS ENTERTAINMENT AT EMERSONS JAY SMAR - Thursday, November 12 PAT GODWIN - Friday, November 13 THE SHAKE - Saturday, November 14 EVERY THURSDAY NIGHT IS COLLEGE NIGHT REDUCED PRICES WITH COLLEGE ID HOURS: 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M.

He mentioned that since bus fares went up, the Council made arrangements with the bus company to offer students a monthly "Fare Deal" which will save the students money . The Council will start selling the "Deal" this month in its office in the Student Center. The Council has many other projects on which they are working. Included in these projects will be Coffeehouses. Knox said that there will be a Coffeehouse every month. He commented that h/felt the first one was very successful. Commuter Council will also be involved in the major parties and will sponsor its own Student Center parties. They also have trips planned to New York City and Philadelphia as well as sports trips to see the Eagles verses the Giants and perhaps a basketball trip .

Jobs Hard TO Fiod College Students Avoid Today's Teaching Field graduate studies ful!time, fourteen are employed as teachers or in related work, and the remaining three are unaccounted for. Current demand is strong in the areas of secondary English, science, social studies, mathematics and business education. A growing demand for early childhood and elementary teachers is expected in the next several years. Reports from various parts of the country indicate a change in the teaching field. College students in the 1970's stayed away from teaching preparation in large numbers. Teachers were a glut on the market; jobs almost impossible to find. Several factors are indicating a "turn-around" in the field. One of these is fewer people entering the profession. The number of students prepared to teach has dropped noticeably. Second, many teachers are opting for early retirement . Third, many teachers are changing fields after ten to fifteen years in teaching . Population growth in some sections of the country is another contributing factor to the turn around. For the more worldly, the job market for teachers is unlimited in Africa, Asia and South America (for those who are prepared). Many college students may wonder about the requirements for becoming a teacher, the job prospects and the role of the teacher in elementary, secondary, adult and post secondary education . Questions may also exist about working with young people and the satisfaction which may come from the teaching profession. Wilkes students should talk to any Education Department faculty member about some of these matters. Also, the course Introduction to Education (Ed. 201) deals with many of these concerns . It also makes provisions for the college student to have a field experience in a public or private school at the grade level of his / her interest. · Of last year's twenty education graduates, three are pursuing Philharmonic Holds ''Sonic Spectacular'' "Sonic Spectacular," an all- Russian, all-orchestral evening of musical fireworks, is the next event in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Philharmonic 's "Season of Celebration." Music director Hugh Wolff and the orchestra will present one of the most challenging and exciting programs in the Philharmonic's ten-year history on Saturday, Nov . 21 at 8:30 at the Irem Temple, Wilkes-Barre . The Philharmonics gifted principal musicians will be featured in performances of Stravinsky's colorful Petrouchka, the brilliant ballet of puppets come to life during a Russian street fair, and Tchaikovsky's immortal Symphony No. 5, full of the lush melodies for which the great composer is famous and beloved. Music director Hugh Wolff points out that "Sonic Spectacular" was originally scheduled for performance Jan. 29 and 30, and the Philharmonic 's "Pennsylvania Tricentennial Celebration" in 1· '"~:---1i ._ .1 9 W. Northampton St. Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18701 BoutiqueeJewelryectothes Layaway Avallable We Accept Master Charge & Visa by Lisa Cobb The Wilkes College Football Band has been a tradition for at least twenty years, according to Jerome Campbell, Band Director. In fact, the tradition is one which most other Division III colleges do not share. Wilkes has one of the few bands that are active in our conference. Most of the other bands are comprised of only a few musicians who get together to play. The Wilkes Band is a well-organized and rehearsed unit. Our band is also the only band that travels with the team . Campbell cited one away game last year which the Wilkes Band attended yet which the home school's band did not attend because of snow. Although the band attends away games, it receives no funding and wears no uniforms. The students who participate in the band make many sacrifices, Campbell emphasized. They are students who could easily use their talents on Saturday nights to earn money by performing. Although the fifty-five member band has a few members who are not music majors, most of the participants are music majors who are really interested in more serious music. 1 DECKOU R'S BEER Across from Bishop Hoban Ph. 822-7045 -lmportecl ...,.__ -Colcl .....Callln Advance lot Kegs and Quartets (Must hove LCB Cord) November. The programs have been reversed, Mr. Wolff indicated, with the Tricentennial concert featuring the world premiere of Richard Wargo's The River Flows rescheduled for January . Mr. Wolff emphasized, however, that no concert dates have been changed, and that season subscribers should use their November tickets in November and their January tickets in January. Tickets for "Sonic Spectacular" are available through the Philharmonic hotline. Concert hall box offices will open at 6:30 on the night of the performance, and tickets for children and full -time high school and college students are half-price. . "Actually," Campbell commented, "this is not a thing musicians do." The purpose of the band is to serve the athletic department and the school by providing pep music during the football games. Campbell noted that it's a shame that the spirit doesn't flow in reverse. These same students who sacrifice their time to prepare for the football band spend many hours also preparing for student recitals and other performances. On November 18, for example, a performance will be given by the Wilkes College Wind Ensemble which is made up of essentially the same people. The spirit the band creates at football games is readily appreciated by student fans who attend the games. These fans can enjoy the talents of band members at other times. One loyal fan of the band is Dean Hoover . When asked how he felt about the band his face glowed as he exclaimed "Super! Super! Super! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! One of the best bands I've ever heard . Wilkes College wouldn't be the same without it. Does that say it all?" That says it all. TICKER TAPE ..

On Tuesday November 3, the blue and gold were narrowly defeated 3-2 by the University of Scranton in the team's last home and regular season game. Undaunted by the loss, the woman travelled to the MAC Tournament with high expectations only to have their hopes shattered by Dickinson, Albright, and Western Maryland. The game against the Lady Royals was almost meaningless except for one thing: pride. Both teams were already ticketed to go on to the MAC's, and a win would only serve to add a bit more lustre to already gem-like records. However, the Lady Colonels wanted to revenge earlier losses at Scranton and at the East Stroudsburg Tournament. In addition, they wanted.,. to prove to Scranton and to themselves that they were the better team . Game number one was a close battle as Scranton edged Wilkes -i5-13, but in game two the Lady Colonels bolstered their own chances with a sound 15-9 victory. The momentum at this point was definitely with the women of Wilkes, _ and they prevailed in game three 15-11. This second consecutive victory all but sealed the fate of the Lady Royals . However, fate was not kind to the Lady Colonels, for the fourth game saw Scranton come out fighting . They could have rolled over and played dead, but they instead showed their mettle and fought on. Again the game was close, but the victory was destined for Scranton 15-13. The fifth game, the final, was for all of the marbles . The pressure and tension could be seen on the faces of all of the players during the game. Wilkes chose the wrong time to have a total team breakdown, and the Lady Royals took advantage and breezed to a 15-5 win and a match victory. Leading the Wilkes spikers were Jennifer Golding with 12 kills and 10 service aces, and Sally Fisher and Cathy Dudick with 12 kills apiece. The loss was a bitter one for the blue and gold, for each player had wanted this one very badly. It would have been a fitting climax to an already stellar season. The team, however, did not dwell upon the loss, and they took a 12-5 record and dreams of bigger victories with them to the MAC's at Dickinson College November 6-7. The results of the tournament were the same as last year; no match victories and disappointment. However, last year's team was wary of some of the opposing teams, but this year's squad was confident of its ability and knew that they could beat anybody . Unfortunately, everybody beat them. On the lighter side, it could be said that the team kept its overall tournament record for 1981 unblemished (0-13). So much for consistency. The game against Dickinson was a rematch. On September 29 the Lady Colonels had been victorious 3-2 in a game played at Wilkes. However, the story ended a bit differently this time. Early on the blue and gold had the upper hand, but Dickinson turned the tide . The red and white skillfully used a mixture of powerful spikes and well-placed <links to throw the opposition off-balance. The Lady Colonels never recovered and fell in two games . Much the same thin ha ened against Albright, but this time the opposition felled Wilkes by using the unexpected. Albright is a good team which uses an unorthodox style of play to find success. An opponent must be ready to receive a ball at anytime. In the first game, Albright completely baffled Wilkes, and the second game started the same way. However, the Lady Colonels came back and took it to the opposition. . They matched Albright point for point, but lost a heartbreaker 16-14 . The effort proved to be too little too late, but the tean showed that they could play the game and play it well. The match against Western Maryland was the story of David and Goliath , but with an ironic twist. In this version, the Goliath (Western Maryland) destroys the David (Wilkes). Western Maryland had won the tournament six times in a row, and they showed why by completely overwhelming the women of Wilkes. The contest was a good-natured and expedient one. The affair lasted little more than half an hour, and Western Maryland won handily 15-2 and 15-4 . On the following day, the Lady Colonels journeyed back to Wilkes with fond memories of a fine regular season, nightmares of the MAC tourney, and dreams of the success of the years to come. A small consolation was the fact that Juniata had won the tournament and had ended the reign of Western Maryland. SUPER TURF The Oklahoma Sooners began playing on a new artificial turf field in 1981.

FF====================~=========i SIDELINES by Mark James To see the pain on Gari Sosnoski's face as he was assisted off the gridiron last Friday night was a sight that exemplifies the heart put into the game of football. To see how he was injured is another story. "It looked like a deliberate attempt to put him out," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas explained. After seeing the film, one would have to agree. For the rest of the game, FDU Madison made excellent progress running in "Sosnoski's" direction. It was probably the only way they could beat the "big man" in their first victory ever over Wilkes. Sosnoski left the game early in the first half with a sprained knee. ...••.•...•...•..................••................. The football team isn't pleased with a few comments Athletic Director John Reese made about the quality of the football team . But Reese explained, "I wasn't trying to degrade the football players or anyone at all. The thing that upset me about it was for the team to think we didn't appreciate their efforts." Reese said he wasn't really quoted correctly. what he meant was that we "don't have enough kids with the ability at that level to win." Wilkes has been losing football games because of mistakes . Fumbles, penalties, and so forth have been the Colonels' downfall week after week. Out of 22 players, the majority playing are freshmen and sophomores. That means inexperience. To put things in perspective, Reese referred to his own team. "If a team beats us, it may not be because we didn't work hard; it's just that they have more quality players." .................................................... . Wrestling captain Billy Dodge will be healthy enough to compete by the time the Wilkes Open rolls around. The sad part is that "Billy probably looked better than anyone on the team, " Coach Reese explained. "That was a really big loss for us. " Dodge, who had a strong hold on the 126 pound bracket, suffered a broken elbow in practice. This points out one of the major weaknesses the wrestling team will face this year. "We don't have the numbers to get by injuries, " Reese said. The wrestling team will be scrimmaging Millersville Saturday at the gym at 11:30. �Page 8, Wilkes College Wilkes-Barre, PA Vol. XXXIV No. IO November 13, 1981 The Beacon, November 13, 1981 Lady Colonels Falter In Playoffs by Mark James With only seconds remaining in last Friday's football game and FDU in a punt formation, the Colonels were faced with a difficult coaching decision . Instead of settling for a first and ten from their own 20, the Wilkes gridders decided to set up for a punt return. The deep man was freshman defensive back John Seiler who leads the team in kickoff returns (20 for 344 yards), but had never returned punts for Wilkes before last Friday. Seiler got under the ball one yard in his own endzone, sprinted up field behind an excellent"\vall of blockers and rambled 56 yards before being cut off by the last man, the FDU punter, who is also quick enough to be the team's punt returner. Defensively, Seiler did a commendable job ,with one of his best efforts coming in the first half. Farley Dickinson had traveled 50 yards to the Wilkes 40. It was fourth and 15 and the Jersey Devils went for a long pass. Seiler came out of nowhere and made an excellent play, batting the ball away. For John, it was his first starting role in a Colonel uniform. He had seen playing time; his 17 .2 kick return average and one interception (against Johns Hopkins) will attest to that. Seiler had earned the position by putting an all-out effort on the practice field. "You have to earn your position around here, and he did," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas explained. "He started off slow1y and he had the tools; it was just a matter of putting it in his head." "He's doing more for us as time . goes on," Coach Schmidt explained. "He's been so close to breaking kickoffs, he's going to be a good return kid. " John Seller When finding out that he was selected Athlete of the Week, Seiler's reaction was on the order of "Yeah, right! Get out . , .no, you're kidding me!" When it came down to his interview, all he would do was to praise his teammates and coaches, but not himself . "I think at least ten other defensive players deserve it more than I do," he pointed out . "It's all a team effort. It's not me; it's the whole team returning the punt ." He kept stressing the drive and ability of Azure, Walsh, Millisits, and Gould- and the list goes on and on. Seiler kept stressing the ability of the players and the coaches like Ed Lukas, but his most profound praise went toward Coach Schmidt himself. "I hope Coach Schmidt will be back next year . I would hate to see another coach come in and get the honors Coach Schmidt really deserves. He's taught me about a lot of things." It is obvious that John Seiler has a lot of faith in the team that keeps on trying with an 0-8 record. "In two years, mark my blood, we'll be MAC cham ions." by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team was defeated in the first round of the MAC play-offs 5-1 by Franklin and Marshall. The lone Wilkes goal was scored by junior cocaptain Diane Hall. The first half of the game was dominated by Wilkes, with only a single goal. Late in the half, Franklin and Marshall tallied to create a tie at halftime. However, the second half was different from the first . The opposition finally overcame the stingy Lady Colonel . defense to flood the nets with four goals·in fifteen minutes . The loss ended the season for the ladies, but they still could hold their heads high. They overcame the graduation of key players, a slow start, and critical injuries to achieve a .500 season and a playoff berth . The team and especially coaches Meyers and Frail deserve all the credit in the world . Coach Meyers is extremely knowledgeable of the game, and she teaches her young players the fundamentals. In addition, she successfully altered the frontline strategy of the team when the ladies experienced a slow start offensively. The players, of course, are extremely instrumental, for they must make the plans work. The entire team contributed, but special mention must be made of Diane Hall, Michelle Weiss, Linda Dayer, and Valerie Frey. Diane and Michelle were the offensive leaders of the team. Linda switched positions to fill in for an injured Helen Gorgas and became a defensive whiz . All by herself she singlehandedly smothered scoring drives by opposing teams. Valerie Frey,as Regionals Saturday Pascoe Leads Harriers In MAC's by Mark James The Wilkes College harriers finished 12th overall in the Middle Atlantic Conference Cross Country Championships last Saturday at Memorial Lake State Park, Fort Indiantown Gap, Pa . The Colonels will be traveling back to Indiantown Gap Saturday to compete in the Eastern Regionals . Top finishers will go on to national competition . Leading the Colonels was senior Ken Pascoe who finished 23 out of 131 finishers with a time of 27:13. The next three Wilkes spots were filled by freshmen Bill Wolfe (46th-27:42), Dave Levandoski (68th-28:27), and Tom McGuire (77th-28:40). Wilkes' fifth man, Joe Dill, finished 109th in 30:22, and Andy Grant finished 126th in 32:04 . Rob Davis was hampered by an injury for several weeks prior to the race and was unable to finish. Other local teams at the competition were the University of Scranton and King's, who finished 12th and 5th in team standings respectively. Twenty teams competed, with Ursinus taking the top spot. Jim Parsons of Delaware Valley took the top individual spot in 25 minutes and 44 seconds. Francis Awanya of King's took 8th with a time of 26:15. "I just want to tell everybody I'm pleased. You're really improving," Coach Bellairs told the team after the race . Bellairs ran a few miles himself in order to cheer on and encourage the runners at certain points in the race's zig-zag First Victory Against Co lonels FDU Cap italizes On Wilkes Penalty by Mark James When theColonels from Wilkes and the Jersey Devils from Farley Dickenson lumbered onto the field last week, only one team was to leave the gridiron with that "one" victory. The loser of the clash would have to walk away from the field unvictorious in eight games . With 4:05 left in the game, the Colonels were clinging to the lead by a slim 15-14 margin. Five minutes earlier Wayne Lonstein couldn't find a receiver, but had found an open field to the endzone to make a two-point conversion successful after a 6 yard George Simms scamper . The conversion gave the Colonels the lead after relinquishing a 7-point halftime edge by allowing two fumble induced third-quarter Jersey Devil touchdowns. With the conversion, Wilkes had that long - awaited glimmer of hope. Was this to be the one? Would the Colonels finally win? No . The Devils marched right back in full control of the ball until they were halted at the Wilkes 25 yard line with a fourth and four. FDU attempted a 42-yard field goal. There was silence for a moment . It wasn't even close. Penalty. Wilkes was offside. First down. Four plays later, touchdown . A conversion attempt failed, but FDU led 20-15. Wilkes had 2:40 left to steal victory from the hands of defeat. On their next possession , the Colonels got a first down, but the next two passes fell incomplete. On third down, Tony Madden made a nice lunging catch for she was last season, was a very stingy goalkeeper. Her prowess often relieved the offense of much pressure. The highlight of the season was the game against Scranton in which the ladies prevailed 1-0 . They won and thus qualified for the MAC playoffs . By this victory the ladies showed why they are a team. In other words, a team's team. When they had to win, the women united and worked together toward a common goal. This sort of play was the key to their success. The hockey team found success this year, and in the future should find even more. Coach Meyers has a mixture of solid veteran players and promising, now seasoned, freshmen who should blend together to form another winning combination next season. eleven yards, just inches out of bounds. On fourth down, Lonstein went back to pass and was sacked . With 1: 10 left in the game, the Devils began running down the few seconds left . Wilkes 'held them , and John Seiler got his hands on the punted ball one yard deep in the Wilkes endzone. Seiler sprinted right and beat the coverage to the sideline. He sprinted downfield, cut against the grain, then was tackled by the last defender . He blitzed 56 yards on the return, but Wilkes had only 6 seconds to go 45 yards. One incomplete pass later, the game was over. SHOULDER PATS: Wilkes had a total of two penalties for ten yards, but one of those penalties lost the game. In Division III football, a 42-yard field goal is quite a feat. In hindsight, we should nave . eased up a little on the rush . Seiler's runback was great. The Colonels were stopped on the FDU one and ten yard lines in the first half. Tony Popple had a 40-yard average in 5 punts. Dave Hadley, who was redshirted earlier this season due to an injury, provided moral support for the team . Fleetfooted George Simms rushed for 71 of Wilkes' 212 total yards. Bob Hessling ran for 47 yards. Wayne Lonstein came through in several clutch situations with some powerful quarterback keepers. The defense was hurt by the loss of the big man, Carl Sosnoski, who suffered a sprained knee early in the first half . It was quite a painful injury. course. Team captain Ken Pascoe said, "I thought we did excellent. We've got a young team and the guys showed a lot of guts. I thought we had a lot to prove because we're so young." One thing proven last Saturday is that Bellairs has the makings of a very stong team. Freshmen Wolfe, Levandoski, and McGuire have the potential to become an awesome threesome in the future. Rob Davis, who ran in pain , and Andy Grant both showed a lot of determination. Ken Pascoe does a great job leading, guiding, and motivating the team . He will be running his last race as a Wilkes harrier on Saturday. Bowling News by Stephen Levitski Last week's action saw The Force steal two wins from the league-leading Aristrocrats.

Tljfi Non-profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 NACURH Naanes Wilkes College School Of The Month For Sept. by Donna Nitka The National Association for College and University Residence Halls has named Wilkes College the school of the month for September. The College, which is a member of the NACURH North Atlantic Affiliate, received the award for the IRHC Freshman Follies. According to IRHC corr~ponding secretary Marge LeBlanc, a resident of the school must submit a nomination of a specific program fbr the award. The program is then judged on originality, number of participants, and number of people on campus who attend it. LeBlanc noted that the pro·gtams submitted for nomination by IRHC included the establishment of the IRHC Hall Presidents' Council, revision of the IRHC constitution, and the award-winning Freshman Follies. The Freshman Follies were held the first weekend in September. Freshmen were dressed in initiation costumes and were taught acts by their hall's upperclassmen. The freshmen were then judged for their performances. Awards were given to the freshmen with the best act and the freshmen with the most spirit. LeBlanc noted that IRHC will be presented with the award at the NACURH regional conference, which will be held this weekend at Whittenburg College in Ohio. She stated that although Wilkes has been a member of NACURH for two years, this is the first time the college has nominated a program for the award. She added however, that IRHC does plan to submit upcoming programs for nomination. Wilkes competed with 35 other schools in the NACURH North Atlantic Affiliate for the award. IRHC President Bill Lourie summed up the feelings of the InterResidence Hall Council when he stated, "It's a great honor for the school and IRHC. We're really proud to bring honor to our school." CORNERSTONE CEREMONY - President Capin and SC President Ana Nunez help to lay the cornerstone for the new residence hall. Members of the board of trustees, alumni and interested deans, faculty and students attended the ceremony which was last Saturday morning. Representatives from the local media were present to cover the event, which was followed by a champagne toast on the porch of the Student Center. Admissions Office Reports Increase In Number Of Applications by Mary Kay Pogar During the past few years, the activity of the admissions office has significantly increased, resulting in a 35 % rise in the number of applications received. According to Dr. Gerald Wuori, Dean of Admissions, the increase in number of applications has paralleled an increase in all activities of the admissions office. Dr. Wuori notes that there are five ways to measuring the general activity of the admissions office; a count of inquiries, number -of applications received, number of acceptances, tuition deposits, and actual registrations. The number of inquiries by all prospective students requesting information or applications have shown an increase of 28 % . The dean of admissions believes this is a direct result of an increase in recruiting activity. Over the past three years, the admissions office has widened its area of recruitment from three to ten states, and has now established contact with nearly 800 high schools. This is an increase from only 225 schools contacted just three years ago. As a result, the adfllissions office now Dentistry Program With Temple Established by Donna Nitka In recognition of the need for more dentists in the underserved areas of Pennsylvania and its contiguous communities, Wilkes College and Temple University School of Dentistry have established a joint educat ional program. Students who successfully complete the program will receive a Bachelor of Science degree from Wilkes and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Temple University within six or seven years. The program's six-or sevenyear track of study includes three years of pre-professional and four years of dental education. In the six-year program, a student would attend Wilkes for two academic years, including summers. At the end of that time, a . selection committee, comprised of members of the Wilkes and Temple dental school faculties would select students for entrance into professional dental studies. Students could also choose to complete pre- professional requirements in three academic years, excluding summers. A student may major in any academic program ; however, the student must fulfill a science pre-requisite that includes: Biology 201-202, 205-206, Chemistry 115-116, 231-232, Physics 105-106 or 201-202, Math 105-106 or 111-112, and Psychology 101-102. Students in the program who are not selected for entrance into the dental school must complete a fourth academic year at Wilkes in order to satisfy requirements for a Bachelor's degree. Dr. Dale Roeck, Dean of the dental school, noted four major advantages of the cooperative program: .a student's financial o_utlay for education will be reduced by the shortened time frame of the preprofessional program; a student will stilf remain eligible while in dental school for financial aid from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency because of the shorter undergraduate time; students in the program who qualify will be assured of acceptance into the dental school; the shorter undergraduate time will allow students to begin their dental practices and earn income much sooner. Dr. Ralph Rozelle,·Wilkes' Dean of Health Sciences, stated that the Wilkes/Temple Dent-istry Program "is an excellent program. We're linked with a superior school of dentistry." Dr. Rozelle noted that this is the only link Temple School of Dentistry has and that Wilkes is fortunate to have such a program. receives about ten thousand inquiries per year. About 1800 applications yearly arrive at the admissions office, which is a 35 % increase in applications received over the past four or five years. Of these applications, about 80-90 % students are accepted to the college. Dean Wuori feels this is a good percentage for a middle-selective or moderately competitive institu~ tions like Wilkes. The college bases the decision to accept a student on four factors; the two SAT scores, class rank and G.P.A. in Math and English courses in high school. Although there is no designated cut-off point in any of these categories, the admissions office has a general idea in which range a student's scores are low enough to indicate that he or she will not do well academically at Wilkes. Once the acceptances are sent out to applicants, tuition deposits serve as an indicator of the number of prospective new students. However, the number of ne~ students that actually register is considered a more accurate in- Wilkes senior Wins N.E. Pa. Pageant by Tom Jordan Last Sunday, October 25, Wend y Weir, a se nior psychology / sociology major at Wilkes, was named Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania in the Miss Northeastern Penns ylvania Pageant held at the Center for the Performing Arts. The Pageant is a scholarship contest which has been in existence since 1975. The winners of each of the local pageants will compete in the Miss Pennsylvania Pageant, and the winner of this will enter the Miss America Pageant . When the competition started in August there were 20 girls entered; the number of competitors was then narrowed down to 15 for the finals. Competitors in the Northeastern PA pageant are judged in ·swimsuit, evening gown, · and talent competitions, and are interviewed individually by judges. Weir stated that "the talent contest was worth 50 percent of the scoring and the judges interview was worth 35 percent." Elizabeth Ward, Miss America of 1982, provided part of the entertainment at the pageant. Weir said she entered the Miss Northeastern Pennsylvania pageant "because of the scholar- ship program ." In the future she plans "to do graduate work and go to law school." The 22 year old Dallas resident said after winning, "I was thrilled and couldn't believe it." Weir has been a ballet dancer for 15 years and danced the Black Swan Variation from Swan Lake in the pageant. She lived in New York City for two years and worked for two major ballet companies there. She is now modeling for the Tom Musto Studio to help pay for the costs of the pageant. After graduation in May, Weir plans to take a year off before applying to law schools. ct1cator. According to Dr. Wuori, about 50 % of those accepted will actually enroll at the college. The increase in inquiries and applications reflect the activity of the admissions office. Until the 1970's, the function of an admissions office was primarily to screen applicants. However, with the decline in number of students applying to college, it has become necessary to add recruitment to the activities of the office. Dean Wuori and the admissions office at Wilkes have broadened the geographical bases of recruitment to attract more students here. According to Dr. Wuori, they have been met with "tremendous reception ." He feels that the guidance counselors of the high schools have been "very interested and enthusiastic." The high school guidance counse1ors inform students in their schools of the programs offered at Wilkes. The students must then take the initiative to contact the admissions office. At this point, the admissions office responds to the inquiry of the student, with the ultimate goal of bringing the student to the Wilkes campus. It is here that Dr. Wuori feels "the college sells itself." According to the Dean, about 1500 interviews· a year are conducted, which he feels is a high percentage. He attributes this high percentage to the "support of the faculty and administration for the activities of the admissions office." Dr. Wuori stresses that recruiting and attracting students is a "campus-wide effort," and that it is well supported at Wilkes. If the five per cent increase in the size of this year's freshman class is any indication, Dr. Wuori's assessment of the success of his offfice's activity is not groundless. �Page 2, The Beacon, November 6, 1981 Dr. Hammer To Attend Foreign Policy Conjerence by Amy Elias Dr. Eugene Hammer, Chairman of the Wilkes College Department of Education, has been invited by the U.S. Secretary of State to attend a three-day foreign policy conference for leaders in teacher education on November 20 through 22. The conference, which will be held in Washington, D.C., is cosponsored by the U.S. Department of State, the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, and the International- Council on Education for Teaching. The purpose of the conference is to "provide administrators, faculty and students in schools, colleges, and departments of education with strategies for participation in international education, based on a recent national survey of AACTE institutions," according to the conference schedule. The program will include a oneday review of U.S. foreign policy, which will "provide an opportuni- ty to hear and question the senior officers of the Department of State'' and· other Departments of education, _plenary sessions by nationally reknowned scholars on various topics, and fourteen small group wo_rkshops which will explore "practical approaches" to Exchange Programs, International Student Teaching and Experience, Cross Cultural Communications, and other · areas of concern to educators. IRHC Hall Presidents' Council Established by Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie has formed a new council that he feels will supplement the serviC416 provided by IRHC: the Hall Presidents' Council. While IRHC deals with such areas as maintenance and food, the Hall Presidents' Council will deal directly with the residence halls and will concentrate on hall fimctions. The Council, which is comprised of all the residence hall presidents, is divided into two specific committees: Inter-Hall Activities and Hall Government. Functions of the Inter-Hall Ac- tivities include developing brother/ sister relationships between the residence halls, organizing inter-hall competitions, e~couraging halls to do some type of charity work, and aiding halls in fund raising. The purpose of the Hall Government committee is to formulate a constitution-type document which will define the duties of hall officers and fo rmalize the election process. Lourie st resse d t h a t t h e residence hall presidents are leaders. He feels that students should expect their hall presidents to take the initiative and to make them proud of their hall. He feels that, as a council, the hall presidents will be valuable asset to the residence ·hall family. Lourie met with the hall presidents earlier this semester. It was during this meeting that the hall presidents decided that they wanted to establish a council. The Hall Presidents' Council meets mo.nthly. During its last meeting the council decided that it would elect a director, assistant director, recording secretary and corresponding secretary. The officers will be elected at a future meeting.

Thank you, CircleK Give Blood-lt Gives Life Today is Blood Donor Day at Wilkes. From 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the gym, all students, faculty and staff will have the opportunity to donate blood. But how many will actually give blood? Judging from the statistics in past years, not many are willing to donate their blood. Out of approximately 2000 students and 200 faculty, only about 250 donate blood. Last year at one of the donor days, only three faculty members gave blood. Those who don't give blood will quickly find some excuse, and a few will actually have a legitimate reason. But many more offer excuses that show them to be selfish and uncaring. One of the most frequently given excuses is lack of time. -However, giving blood is not a time-consuming process. It only takes half an hour to 45 minutes, depending on how many people are waiting. Usually, blood donor day is on a Thursday so that people may take advantage of the two hour activity period. This year, however, due to scheduling conflicts in the gym, the day to donate blood is a Friday. This might make it a little more difficult to find time to give blood, but it is still not impossible. Almost everyone has at least on hour free from 10-4, and one hour is sufficient to give blood. Another excuse is fear, one which few may admit openly, but which is still prevalent. Some people mistakenly believe that giving blood is a painful process. It is true that a person giving blood will not be unaware of the moment the nurse puts the needle in his or her arm, but this could hardly be described as painful. Just about any reason anyone gives for refusing to donate blood, other than health reasons, is a selfish one. Lack of time is seldom a legitimate excuse. If you really want to give blood, you will be able to find the time . You often spend time doing things that are unproductive. The half hour you spend giving blood will probably be the most productive 30 minutes you have spent in months. Fear of discomfort is inexcusable. How insignificant is one's discomfort compared to the great service one is doing for the community. But if you still need selfish reasons to give blood, prizes for the dorm and organization with the highest percentage of donors will be awarded. If you still are thinking, what's in it for me? the answer is simple - nothing, except the personal satisfaction from doing something that will benefit a needy person. BEACON 0//ice,.

( �Page 4, The Beacon, November 6, 1981 1981 Wilkes Homecoming Stirs Enthusiasm ; by Mary Kay Pogar The f!omecoming activities began this year, as in other years, with the traditional Thursday night bonfire at Ralston Field. And, as usual, the Homecoming queen and her court were named at the bonfire. But this year, a new feature was added: a Homecoming king and court were elected this year, and they, too were named at the bonfire. Tom Rooney and Chris Fellin acted as MC's for the lively bonfire undergone hip replacement surgery this summer and had not been able to perform the cheer until recently. The now traditional pie-in-theface-of-the-SG-pre sident was enhanced this year by the involvement of the presidents of CC and IRHC. Tom Rooney posed several questions to the three presidents, which, if answered correctly, would save them from receiving the pie in the face. Unfortunately, they missed the question concerning the number of miles on Dean Hoover's car by eight-tenths of a mile. CC president Joe Knox and SC president Ana Nunez resigned . themselves to their fate, and allowed Rob Wallace and Tom Farley to hit them with a pie. IRHC president Bill Lourie ducked, causing Tom Rooney to get a share of the pie, courtesy of Bob Lashock. A new feature of the bonfire program was a banana - peeling act, performed by Elaine Kerchusky, Stacy Keeley and Ruth McDermott, among others. A rather unusual act, it featured the above-mentioned performers peeling bananas to strip-tease music, and throwing the skins out to the audience. The audience appeared program. They kept the program moving smoothly, while adding their personal touch to the event. A visit from the Great Pumpkin (Dan Batzel) early in the program helped stir up enthusiasm and prepared the crowd for the introduction of members of the fall sports teams. Dean Ralston did his traditional "Go Wilkes!" cheer, not just once, but twice. For most of the freshmen, this was their first opportunity to see Dean Ralston's famous cheer, since the dean had QUEEN AND HER COURT - Dina Wasilewski shows surprise and excitement upon lilfl.rning of her election as Homecoming queen.

President Ana Nunez stated that the fund was proposed and was then made into a separate account. The purpose of ICCF is to fund money for any college organization to attend a convention. However, there are some new stipulations recently proposed · which in Nunez's opinion are necessary in order to use the money for the benefit of everyone." In other words, the fund should follow certain rules to be fair to all organizations and to insure that the money from the account is well spent. The main objection concerning ICCF brought up at the meeting was the addition of t~ rule stating, "For a convention a club, council, or organization may obtain $25 per person for up to seven people from ICCF. If, under extenuating circumstances, more money is requested, SG ~ay pay 30 per cent of the total cost for five people. " Many SG members, approving the new stipulation at past SG meetings, voted in opposition last Monday night. The vote to insert this rule in the SG amendment failed 5-17-0. More discussion and possible new proposals on the ICCF rule are planned . In other business, three fund requests were passed unanimously by the SG body. SG granted Friends Forever $200 to sponsor a party for the children participating in their program . The Barbell Club's request for $127 was passed for renovation of the Pickering Hall weight room. SG also passed the Hockey Club's request of $1,000 for the team's budget. Also at the meeting nominations were held for the position of SG Vice-President. The SG members who accepted their nominations were Elaine Kerchusky, Joanne _Rice, and Melissa Monahan. Elections for the position will be held at the next meeting. Under the Academic Committee report, Keith Sands, chairman of the committee,received a vote of confidence to adopt the option that students on academic proba- tion may attend Wilkes College summer school in order to raise their cumulative averages . A roller skating party, sponsored by SG, is planned for Thursday, Nov . 12. Publicity will be placed around campus concerning the details. Also, th e "Almost Anything Goes" competition was announced by Lisa Howes. The event is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 14 and applications are available from any RA. The money raised will be donated to the United Way. IRHC Planning 'Friday The Thirteenth' Party by Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie announced at Sunday's meeting that IRHC is sponsoring a Student Center party on Friday, November 13. The theme of the party will be "Friday 13." More details about the party will be available later. Human Services Committee cochairperson Chris Lain again reminded everyone of the Blood Donor Day which is to be held today, Friday, November 6, in the gym from 10-4. She noted that the blood level in this area is critical and that student donors are urgently needed. She also reminded everyo ne that prizes will be awarded for both the residence hall and club with the highest percentage of donors. In other business, Lourie congratulated the winners of the SG fence - painting contest. The first prize went to the Psychology Club. McClintock Hall received second and Student Government was awarded third prize. The entries were judged on novelty and creativi ty. Lo urie also congratulated the winners of the Homecoming display judging. Weiss Hall was chosen as the residence hall with the best dorm display, with the prize fo r the best organizational display going to Commuter Council. IRHC advisor Paul Adams reminded residence hall students that the halls will close at noon on November 25 for Thanksgiving Break. He stated that students wishing to remain on campus during break must submit a written request to the Housing Office by Wednesday, November 18. He noted that Pickering Hall will remain open over break for men and Chapman Hall will remain open for women . The halls will reopen at noon on Sunday, November 29 .

One may ask, how can a football defeat by 33 points be considered aheartbreaker? Isn't such a description reserved for superclose, down-to-the-wire defeats? Of course. This is a special situation, however. The loss to the Bluejays made it 7 in a row for the Colonels, the longest losing streak in Wilkes history. It was the worse start ever for the Blue and Gold. The glum truth of the matter is that the Colonels showed a lot of heart. It was sad they lost, It was "heartbreaking." Consider, once again, the situation this year. The team gets beaten by such wide margins week after week. Coach Schmidt would willingly take the blame for such a bad season rather than have the players criticized. He's taken a lot of criticism, in and out of the press. There are probably a lot of people who would really want Schmidt to resign, to move over for some "new blood." If he ever did , he would be leaving on an incredibly sour note. People close to Schmidt probably think he will leave his position, but nobody really knows what Rollie thinks, or at least, they aren't saying anthing. There's a lot of irony to the situation. If he stays with the Colonels, he'll still take the blame for losing seasons. It seems he won't be recognized as a football legend until he is, in fact, a legend. A memory. (.!uestions must be asked. One week, Coach Schmidt was asked how things could be turned around for the better this season. He replied, "There are no magic solutions." If any solutions are to be found, however, the situation must be investigated a little further . Either the players, the coaches, or the administration are not capable enough or willing enough to develop a strong football program. Earlier this season, one player said, "We've got to learn to win. Losing we're used to; it's no problem ." Last week, the Colonels came closer than ever to. victory. The final score doesn't prove this in any respect, but Wilkes did get to have-the lead for once. A player mentioned that the Colonels came into the second half against Johns Hopkins "flat." He mentioned that there was a lack of enthusiastic team leadership. In other words, the team just wasn't "up" in the second half. A Colonel alumnus had this to say: "There's no team there; everybody plays for themselves." He said the blame was virtually 50-50. The players have a bad attitude, the coaches use no discipline. "It's just that he's (Schmidt) too lenient. He doesn't yell or scream . He knows his stuff, there's no question about it. He just doesn't discipline the team. " Whether the situation now is any different remains a question, but as for discipline, Lukas explained, "We assume they're here because they want to be here. We treat them as human beings, we expect them to respond as human beings. " Does the team lack peer motivation and leadership? The coaches don't think so. "This is the best leadership we've had here as long as I can remember," Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas said. "Our kids don't say quit," Coach Schmidt explained. "Our guys will fight you right down to the last breath." Also earlier in the season, a player explained the Wilkes coaching wasn't too enthusiastic. Their ability was not the problem, but football is an emotional game. Perhaps the player felt the coaches were too businesslike. The situation cannot be ignored; it must be dealt with. Wilkes is not the only team having a lousy year . Tonight the Colonels take on FDU Madison, 0-7. It'll be the battle of the losing teams tonight under the lights of F.D .U. Both teams are really going to want to win. In a losing situation such as the one Wilkes College is experiencing this year, it is difficult to get every side of the story, or to determine what is valid, and what isn't. Hopefully, the information here will help bring some possible problems or deficiencies into the open .

When asked whether or not he would ever give up running, he explained that the only thing that comes before running are his studies, but "111 continue running until the grave. Then, 111 probably still be kicking!" Ken jokingly explained. Ken was "ecstatic" about being selected Athlete of the Week, especially after running his last regular season race on Homecoming Saturday. "I'm glad to get it now," he explained. "It's my fourth year here. It had to come to me sooner or later, I suppose." Ken is a good-natured guy with a great sense of humor; he's just easy to get along with . A two-time MVP in his previous years at Wilkes, Ken will surely be missed by his team and coach after graduation. The Beacon Sports Department is very proud to select Ken as this week's Athlete of the Week. As Ken said, ''The year is ending on a good note." It's well deserved.

For four years, Ken has been a standout of the Wilkes College harriers, yet he has never been selected as the week's top athlete. A first-place finish with a time of 26:30 against Baptist Bible and a second-place finish against the University of Scranton last week are two typical examples of Ken's ability. His time against Scranton was26:33. "It's long deserved," Coach Bart Bellairs said. "Kenny's done just a super upball year, and he's been an inspiration to me." Ken is a senior, so Bart Bellairs will have to do without Pascoe's team leadership next year, but the coach knows that Ken will always be a special friend. "Everybody looks up to him," freshman harrier Bill Wolf explained. "He makes practices really relaxed and doesn't make you feel like a freshman. He knows you're an important part of the team ." Aside from being an exceptional team leader for such a young team, Ken, as mentioned before, is also an excellent competitor. "If we have to beat somebody, he11 give everything he's got to beat the guys," Wolf explained. "He's never been selfish at all," Bellairs said. "He believes in the program. Kenny deserved to be Athlete of the Week about six times." A Business Administration major from Nanticoke, Ken is currently taking 18 credits in addition to a part-time job. He's currently running about eighty miles a week in . posed of mostly underclassmen, the Colonels figured to be in a rebuilding year. Through their first 12 games the Colonels have scored only six goals, and to be quite honest, have not really been in one of the 12 games. Obviously, the lack of a offense has certainly hurt, but probably more detrimental is the lack of depth on the squad. Most opponents have more players on their benches than Wilkes has on its team.

This weekend marks the beginning of the Middle Atlantic Conference Championship Tourname~ts. This is the climax of the season, and Wilkes will proudly be rep resented by the cross country team , the field hockey team, and the wemen's · volleyball team .

Junior co-captain Diane Hall scored on an assist from Michelle Weiss, and she also assisted on a goal by freshman Debbie Cometa. The defense of fullback Linda Dayer and goalie Val Frey's 17 saves were very instrumental in the victory. "THE GAME" against Scranton was for all of the marbles, and on this day the blue and gold pro~ed more valuable than the purple and white. To the victor would go the spoils and a berth in the MAC playoffs, and to the loser dreams of next year. Well, true to form the Lady Colonels came through in the clutch and held on for a 1-0 victory on a goal by Debbie Cometa who was assisted by Karen Johnson. The victory was ,needless to say, very satisfying to the team , but it also gave them a .500 record and in a way made up for the "up and down" season . It also showed their heart and puts them on a high for the upcoming tournament. The first opponent for the Lady Colonels will be the Southwest Division winners Franklin and Marshall at an as yet undecided site on November 9. The competition will be tough, fo r Franklin and Marshall has an 8-5-1 record and is ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III ratings . However, the ladies have been a clutch team, and they have also been giant killers on several occasions so .far this season. The winner will face the victor of the Gettys burg/ Muhlenburg matchup also scheduled on November 9. Thesecond game will be played on November 11. During the MAC playoffs, the Lady Colonels will be looking to junior co-captain Diane Hall to score the clutch goals. For the past three seasons she has been the leading scorer for the ladies . In 1981 she has scored 9 goals a nd has added 3 assists for a total of 12. Following her is another junior Michelle Weiss who had 8 points on 4 goals and 4 assists. The rise to success of the women's volleyball team is very similar to that of cross country except for the fact that the ladies have improved upon the record of their predecessors. In 1980 the blue and gold wen~ 11-8 and qualified, for the first time, for MAC post-season play. This season the wDmen are 12-4 and at one point had a ten game winning streak, On October 28 the team faced a tough Bucknell team in a match played at the Wilkes gym.

Testing water from a water fountain on the fourth floor of Stark Learning Center, Azure found that it contained high levels of copper. Mike Azure made this discovery while learning to use the atomic absorption spectrophotometer, a machine used to detect the existence of certain elements in water. He found that copper was present at levels varying from 2.3 to 4.3 parts per million, meaning that there are 2.3 to 4 .3 parts of copper per million parts of water. This amount seems insignificant until one realizes that the _acceptable level of copper in drinking water is only 1.0 part per million . Four years ago, Dr. Tom Stevens, a former member of the Earth and Environmenta( Science Dep·a rtment, made a similar discovery using a more primitive method. Stevens placed Black Mollies, tropical fish which was sensitive to copper, in-water from the fountain outside Stark 437. The fish died. From this experiment Stevens concluded that there were excessive amounts of copper present. It was not until Azure's experiment, however, that it was known just how high these amounts were. A 1980 study conducted by the Noyes Data Corporation of New Jersey concluded that slightly over 1 % of drinking water samples in America exceeded the drinking water standard of one milligram of copper per liter. According to a U.S. Public Health Service study, only 11 out of 969 water systems exceeded this level. · Although the level of copper in Stark's water is high, it does not appear to pose an immediate health hazard. The Noyes study suggests that it would take 15 mg of copper per day to produce observable effects such as nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In order to accumulate 15 mg of copper, an individual would have to drink between 3.5 and 6.5 liters of water from water fountains in the Stark Learning Center. One unpleasant consequence of the contamination is the distinctive metallic taste of the water. Dr . Brian Redmond of the Earth and Environmental Science Depart. ment speculates that the source of the problem could be corrosion of copper pipes. Thus, a little attention to the plumbing :would not only improve the water's taste, it would also remedy the potential health hazard in Stark Learning Center .

Herb -Frey, of the First Presbyterian Church in WilkesBarre, delivered a set of lectures dealing with the "Nuclear We a pons Di I em ma, '' and presented facts about U.S. and U.S.S .'R. nuclear capabilities which many who attended the leeture found to be alarming.

The facade was intended to remain standing and be incorporated into the design of the new residence hall. In fact, it is stated in the publicity flyer concerning the residence hall, "Historic Conyngham 'Facade' will be inc0rp0Iated into the architectural design of the facility ." . However on Septemo'er 24, President Robert S. Capin received a letter from Sordoni Construction informing him of some problems with the facade. A letter was also sent to the architects, Pyros and Sanderson. Some of the problems with the facade were that the · stone work that was, to remain had beeome locked with that which was to be removed, the platform of the portico was deteriorating and the overhead stone work was pulling away from its foundation . The letter also indicated that, because of the vibrations from the machinery being used, the risk of the facade collapsing would be increased . · Sordoni Construction offered a few options to t~ college: repair the facade at a cost of approximately $25,000, or remove it entirely. The construction company deemed the latter option as the best possible solution . After receiving the letter, Ca pin and others inspected the facade. A report of its condition was given to the Board of Trustees of Septem her 25. Consequently, they voted to have the facade taken down. On September 27, Capin spoke to William Siener of the Wyoming Valley Historical Society and informed him of the plans. Siener, through the Historical Society, offered a sum between $1,200 and $1,500 towards the repair costs. However, it was felt that this amount was not enough to help defray the costs. Capin then sent - a letter to Rachel Gutman, President of the Historical Society, further explaining the position of the college. The Society was interested in obtaining some salvaged pieces of the facade . After looking the pieces over and deciding which ones they wanted, the stone work was removed to the Swetland Homestead in Wyoming, Pa. On October 15, Capin received a letter from Gutman stating that, although saddened by the facade being torn down, the Historical Society fully understood and backed the decision the college had made. Capin commented that the college "fought to have it (the facade) remain standing" but the circumstances necessitated other courses of action. · 'Tm disappointed the facade had to be removed," he said. The college is also trying to save the Cooper Bee.ch trees on the corner of S. River and Northampton Streets. However, Capin explained that the tree on River Street is "sick." It was hit by lightening a few ,years ago and is in danger of dying. �Page 2, The Beacon, October 30, 1981 Haman Servic-e s Schedules Blood Donor Day Nov .6 by Amy Elias The Human Services Committee of Wilkes College, a club comprised of Wilkes students who work to promote college and community services, is coordinating a Blood Donor Day in conjunction with Red Cross. The event will be held Friday, Novem ber 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Wilkes' Gym. Chris Lain, chairperson of the event, noted that a previously scheduled date was changed to Nov. 6 to avoid a conflict with an all-college assembly. A $25.00 prize will be awarded to the residence hall which sponsors the most donors; Human Services will also award a plaque to. the club or organization which most actively participates in the event . The awards, Lain stated, will hopefully serve as an i~entive to residence halls and clubs to en- courage and organize their members to give blood. Reviewing the previous Blood Donor Days held at the college, Lain noted that the greatest number of donors had been 240, and that a goal of 500 donors is being projected for Nov. 6. "We want to stress commuter student and faculty involvement this year," she commented , and observed that only 20 % of the donors in the past have been commuters. Lain pointed to the fact that since the blood donated will be used to benefit the local community, it is to the advantage of commuter students who live in this community to donate blood.

Rooney's previous positions this semester as Vice President and representative had begun to make difficult his maintaining academic credits. Rooney stated that his main objective right now is to graduate on time and his involvement in SC impedes this. He added that he openly supports President Ana Nunez and SC and although he resigned from his executive position, he still plans to be involved with the SC Social Committee and the Student Center Board. Rooney then encouraged the members of the SC body to continue their enthusiasm and thanked the organization for "the best experiences" of his college years. With that, Rooney rece~ed emphatic applause and a standing ovation which refle~ed the admiration felt for him by the SC members. President Nunez congratulated Rooney for his dedicated involvement in SC for the past three years. She mentioned that the organization will miss him but is pleased that he will continue to serve on his designated committees. Dean Hoover commented that he admires Rooney's decision. The first reading for a fund request was made by Tim Ryan, representing Friends Forever, the Big Brothers and Sisters organization here on campus. He requested for the organization $200 from SC funds to sponsor a Halloween party for the children par- ticipating in Friends Forever. The second reading and voting of the request will be made at the next SC meeting. Under committee reports, Keith Sands announced an Academic Committee meeting scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. in SLC room 127. Concerning the Social Committee, Lor Martin mentioned that last week's Western party was very successful. When asked why _there was no food at the party, Martin replied that the committee felt instead of paying for food the money should be put towards building up its budget, now running low because of the money loss from the first gym party held this year. _. Peer Counseling Chairperson Cindy Bonham said that students interested in counseling should return their applications to the SC office by Friday, Nov. 13. Applications for Peer Counseling are currently available in the SC office. Finally, in response to what so me SC members termed "apathetic attitudes" of the SC organization, Advisor Dean Hoover stressed to the SC body that the organization must continue to dedicate themselves to exert their leadership and move forward. According to Dean Hoover, "SC is· the most influential body that represents the students" and he hopes to see more positive action in the future. Lourie Pleased With Response To Hall Pre9idents' Council by Donna Nitka IRHC President Bill Lourie stated during Sunday's meeting that he is pleased with the response to his new Hall Presidents' Council. He noted that although the -turnout at the meetings has only been slightly greater than 50 % , the Council is very enthusiastic. The Council has already formed two committees: an Inter-Hall Committee, and a Hall Govern- ment Committee. Lourie further noted that the Council has decided to elect a director, an assistant director, a recording secretary and a corresponding secretary. These officers will be elected at a future Hall Presidents' Council meeting. Human Services Committee cochairperson Chris Lain reminded everyone of the upcoming Blood Donor Day which will be held November 6 in the gym. She en- couraged everyone to register a time to donate blood . She stated that members of the Human Services -Committee will be calling students who registered to donate blood a day or two in advance to remind them of their pledges. Both Lain and Lourie stressed the need for blood in this area, and encouraged students to be donors . In other business, Lourie announced that as of October 5, an IRHC rep would be allowed three unexcused absences before being listed as an inactive member. He noted that missing an IRHc' meeting was the equivalent of a full absence, while missing an office hour or committee meeting was ½ an absence. Lourie stated that he has been pleased with attendance thus far. He noted that representative participation in IRHC is vital. CC Disappointed With Dance-a-thon Turnout by John Finn Monday night Thor Foss expressed his indignation with fellow members of the Commuter Council after reporting a disappointing turnout at last weekend's United Way Drive Dance-a-thon. For the past several weeks Foss, chairman of the drive, had been planning the event and, according to many council members ; working diligently to ensure its success. But Foss was also counting on the participation from various campus organizations, including CC. After congratulating the several members who did participate, and one who danced the entire 24 hours from Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon, Foss told the council that "unless events seem to be helping you directly, no one wants to participate." Joe Knox, CC President, also expressed his dissappointment, but he also commended Foss for his outstanding work. Knox said "the planning and preparation was extensiv~." Knox then announced the start of a new "Representative of the Week" program. The program will recognize those members who do an outstanding job with council work. The first Representative of the Week is Thor Foss. Andrea Fronzoni, social committee chairman, reminded the council that the Halloween Party will be held tomorrow night in the gym . The party is BYOB. Due to lack of help, the CC Homecoming Committee has canceled nlan~ to h11ilrl" FlnM . "~ cording to Dave Kalinowski, committee co-chairman. Originally the committee had planned to construct a float and display for this week's events. The display is being constructed on the front of the Student Center. Guidelines of criteria for becoming an associate member of CC are being written by Nancy Bowanko, Parliamentarian. Bowanko discussed proposals with the council and said that the final rules should be completed in the next few weeks. Atlantic City .

In this era of more complex space ventures, overwhelming uses for the computer and revitalization of cities across the nation, this saying seems to be finding its way into more people's thoughts than ever before. Wilkes has gotten rid of some old things old, dilapidated buildings - and is bringing in some new ones - the new residence hall. And, of course, a few weeks ago the Conynghanr facade was torn down . While many people disagree with the decision of the college to remove the facade, we must accept change as a part of life; people change, times change, trends and fads change. Most of the time we go merrily on our way, not noticing the minute changes that occur in our lives. There are times, however, when a change occurs that we notice because it saddens us, makes us happy or otherwise greatly affects our lives. The Conyngham facade had been a part of the campus for a number of years. Many people admired it as they walked by. Others barely even noticed it. For some, it was a piece of history that is now gone; for others, it was just a pile of stone. Many people question the administration's decision and seeming lack of concern for this "historical" monument . We have heard cries of "foul" and "deception. " However, before we condemn the decision of the college and its officials, we must first look at the facts. The structure was old and deteriorating. The original plans called for the incorporation of the facade into the design of -the new residence hall . But because of the condition of the facade, and concern for the safety of students and faculty, the decision to tear down the facade was made. True, it was a piece of Wilkes history. But after weighing the pros and cons, we feel that the college did, in fact, make the right decision . We feel that the college did all that was possible to preserve the structure. And since the maintenance of the facade was not economically feasible, and since the safety of the college family was in question, preservin·g an historical structure of which few knew the significance was not worthwhile.

There is usually some event sponsored by a Wilkes organization such as the movies and fil ms presented by the Manuscript Society and the Student Government Film Committee. Many top-name films and "blockbusters" can be viewed on va rious weekends and are sponsored by the SC Film .Committee. Elaine Kerchusky, chairperson of the committee, has done an excellent job in choosing movies that will be shown throughout the year. Last year, Kerchusky took a poll • concerning the students' favorite movies and those they'd most like to see. SC alotted her $4,500 to pick 14 films, seven per semester, that would appeal to the Wilkes · student audience. Kerchusky then searched through film ~ ompany catalogues and ordered specific films. Kerchusky said that as chairperson she sought variety when choosing films. She men tioned that the film s should be divided into categories of comedy, horror, romance, drama, and religious films. She noted that the basic love story and comedy film are favorities among the students. Kerchusky also said that there should be some diven;ity in the popularity of the films, such as having some "blockbusters" as well as the lesser names. The films need to be geared toward the college student audience. In addition , Kerchusky finds out which of her films will be shown on the television movie channel. She then schedules her films to be shown here befo re the movie channel airs them . So far this year, the film series has been quite successful. Kerchusky has heard may positive things from students concerning the film series . She likes to see the audience enjoy the fil ms, especially the cartoons. She is pleased with the audience participation and conduct of the students at recent fil ms. This is Kerchusky's last year as Film Committee Chairperson. She welcomes any interested students to contact her if they are interested in helping with the fil ms. The SC film series is rising in popularity because of the great selection of movies and the increased student attendance.

Drop your guard for a minute. Even though you're in college right now, there are many aspects of the Army that you might find very attractive. Maybe evelt irresistible. See for yourself. MED SCHOOL.ON US You read it right. The Army's Health Professions Scholarship Program provides necessary tuition, books, lab fees, even microscope rental during medical school. Plus a monthly stipend that works out to about $6,000 a year. After you're accepted into medical school, you can be accepted into our program. Then you're commissioned and you go through school as a Second Lieu ten ant in the A rmy Reserve. The hitch? Very simple. A fter you graduate , you give the Army a year as a doctor for every year the Army gave you as a med student, with a minimum ob ligation of three years' service. INTERNSHIP, RESIDENCY & CASH BONUSES Besidd scholarships to medical school. the ' Army also offers AMA-approved first-year post-graduate and residency training programs. Such training adds no further obligation to the scholarship participant. But any Civilian Graduate Medical Education sponsored by the Army gives you a one-year obligation for every year of sponsorship, with a minimum obligation of two years' service. But you get a $9,000 1annual bonus every year you're paying back medical school or postgraduate training. So you not only get your medical education paid for, you get extra pay while you're paying it back. Not a bad deal. A GREAT PLACE TO BE A NURSE The rich tradition of Army Nursing is one of excellence, dedication, even heroism. And it's a challenge to live up to. Today, an Army Nurse is the epitome of professionalism, regarded as a critical member of the Army Medical Team. A BSN degree is required . And the clinical spectrum is almost impossible to match in civilian practice. And , since you'll be an Army Officer, you'll enjoy more respect and authority than most of your civilian counterparts. You'll also enjoy travel opportunities, officer's pay and officer's privileges. Army Nursing offers educational opportunities that are second to none. As an Army Nurse , you could be selected for graduate degree programs at civilian universities. A BONUS FOR PART-TIME WORK You can get a $ 1,500 bonus just for enlisting in some Army Reserve units. Or up to $4,000 in educational benefits. You also get paid for your Reserve duty. It comes out to about $1.100 a year for one weekend a month and two weeks annual training. And now we have a special program to help you fit the Army Reserve around your school schedule. It's worth a look. ADVANCED NURSING COURSE. TUITION-FREE You get tuition , pay and living allowances. You can also take Nurse Practitioner courses and courses in many clinical specialities. All on the Army. While th ese programs do not cost you any money, most of them do incur an additional service obligation. A SECOND CHANCE AT COWCiE A CHANCE TO PRACTICE LAW Some 1may find college to be the right place at the wrong time for a variety of reasons .The Army can help them , too . A few years in the Army can help them get money for tuition and the maturity to use it wisely. T he Army has a program in which money saved for college is matched two-for-one by the government. Then, if one qualifies , a generous bonus is added to that. So 2 years of service can get you up to $15,200 for college, 3 and 4 years up to $20,100. In addition, bonuses up to $5,000 are available for 4-year enlistmenrs in selected skills. Add in the experience and maturity gai ned, and the Army can send an individual back to college a richer person in more ways th an one. We hope these Army opportunities h ave intrigued you as well as surprised you. Because there is indeed a lot the Army can offer a bright person like you . For more information, send the coupon . If you 're about to get your law degree and be admitted to the bar, you should consider a commission in the Judge Advocate General Corps. Because in the Army you get to practice law right from the start. While your classmates are still doing other lawyers' research and other lawyers' briefs, you could have your own cases, your own clients, in effect, your own practice. Plus you 'II have the pay, prestige and privileges of being an Officer in the United States Army. With a chance to travel and make the most of what you 've worked so hard to become.

Usually it's a player on a team's offense, or perhaps a goalie. . This week, such is not the case. Linda Dayer, a junior nursing major from Stanhope, New Jersey, is a fullback onCoach Gay Meyers, women's field hockey squad. Last 'feek, the Colonelettes foun d themselves in three must-win situations (see related story) in order to keep their playoff hopes alive. During the week, some key players were injured, player positions were changed, and the girls found themselves in some clutch situations. Enter Linda Dayer . . "She has become 'Ms. Reliable' with hardly ever a miss. We can count on her making that big play at the most critical time;" Coach Meyers explained. "She had an outstanding week, and just when we needed it." "When Linda comes to the ball, yo~ know she's going to get it, " AssIStant Coach Mary Jo Frail explained, and that's the point. Frail added that "if anybody got to see all the hockey games that week, they would have agreed fully one hundred percent that Linda was Athlete of the Week." There are no statistics that can truly bring into focus her performance. It's a matter of being at the right place at the .right time, and tha(s what Linda does best. Because of Linda's strong hitting and accurate passing, it becomes difficult for any team to get anywhere against Wilkes. "We wouldn't have won those three games if it weren't for Linda Dayer and the defense," Meyers explained. It's that simple. Mary Jo Frail added, "It's easy for a defensive la er to et overlookeQ. · Linda Dayer October 30, 1981, The Beacon, Page 7 Spiker•'·Streak Extended To Ten by Suzette Dyanick With their record at 8-2, the women's volleyball team was on a roll and there was no end in sight. On Wednesday, Oct. 14 the opponents were the women of Penn State Lehman. At their last encounter Wilkes made fast work of PSU Lehman. Tonight was an instant replay .

Cathy Dudick scored six and Debbie Kramer also had six. The offense begins with / the defense. The next pass to be made is a pass from the defense." Valerie Frey said, "If she doesn't play consistently, it's when the whole team isn't playing con- · sistantly."

Phone 288-1232 second overall . Both teams had to cope with a course which was redundant and which ran along a highway, but Susquehanna had the home course advantage. Susquehanna had seven run. ners finish before the fifth Wilkes runner, Joe Dill, so his place was quite high. Bellairs stated th at this problem exemplifies the need for depth on a cross country team. The best way to explain the problem is with a hypothetical meet situation. For example, if the Wilkes team places its top four runners in the first, third , fou rth, and seventh places overall, and the opposition places the second, fifth , sixth through thirteenth runners with the fifth Wilkes ru nner corn ing in fo urteenth , then Wilkes loses the meet 28-29 . The key is to have the fifth runner place as high as possible. At present the Colonels are failing to do this. Coach Bellairs is hoping that senior Jim Bell will unseat Joe Dill for that fifth spot.

The match went five tough games with Wilkes corning away the victors. Dudick, Golding, and Van Riper were their usual outstanding selves. Scores were 15-9, 15-10, and 15-4.

Vol. XXXIV No . 8 October 30, 1981 Page 8, The Beacon, October 30, 1981 Based On Student Involvement New ·lntramural Program Now Taking Shape by Mark James "It's just people saying 'why not' for a couple hours a week," explained Intramural Director Bart Bellairs. Inspired by his experience at Division I Western Illinois, home of the nation's number one intramural program, Bart Bellairs has taken over the position of Intramural Director at Wilkes with high hopes. Bellairs hopes someday Wilkes will be the proud beholder of the country's number one division III intramural program. But all hope of any s'uccess is at the mercy of student enthusiasm and support. So far, Bellairs has been drumming up support for intramurals in every way imaginable, but much of the program's success will lie in the imagination itself. Winners of the men's intramural tennis competition are, from left to right, Joe Fodi - division B, Alan Melusen, division C, and Mike Shortell, division A. ' You don't like sports? How about chess? There will be wild picture - taking contests, maybe even mud wrestling. Think you're tough? Sign up for the upcoming Iron Man (and Iron Woman) competition. Be a superhero in your spare time. Bellairs pointed out, _ "Competitiveness is second to participation and fun." "Students have to make the effort themselves," Bellairs contends. "Intramurals is something the whole student body should not only be involved in, but proud of." Getting' involved means getting to make new friends. Who knows, maybe students from the different worlds of Wilkes (residents, commuters, apartment dwellers) will have a chance to know each other a little better. The intention is admirable, but will it work? That'll be up to the students. It is the student that must take the initiative to make any one event a success . A few dedicated individuals must be willing to organize the events, be it an ongoing event such as team volleyball competition, or whether it is a one day . event such as a football accuracy throw. The flag football event has about 180 participants, and tennis has been such a success under the direction of Barry Spevak that it may even be repeated in the Spring. The intramural program could continue to be a growing success. Why not? If not, it'll be time for the 'ol sarcastic "welcome to Wilkes" for Bart Beilairs. It is~' t a very welcome thought. Interested? Why not! Commentary---------- - Press Plays Up Possible Resignation by Mark James People S;11Y, "Rollie must go. Others just anticipate that he will go. Some are downright certain of it. Football Coach Rollie Schmidt has had a cold for six weeks that he just can't seem to shake. His team has lost six games in a row by huge margins to teams some of which Wilkes gave an annual beating, year after after. Suddenly it seems that Colonel followers, people who have seen the ups and downs, others who have not over the past twenty years, have become outraged, disappointed, whatever over the terrible season Wilkes has been having. No doubt about it, it has been terrible. It seems the situation this season has been developing over the past half decade or more, hovering over Schmidts head like an albatros around some old seaman's neck. Or like a cold you just can't shake. Forgotten are the glory years of past, unrecognized are the internal workings of the football program, the problems and the promise . The limelight is surrounded by those unbelievable statistics: the longest losing streak, outscored so far 213 to 33, seven straight losing seasons, the list goes on. Then there are the rumors, assumptions, and heresay. And cliche's. He's washed up . Nineteen-forty football. Twenty yea rs seems like a nice round number . He's going to resign and become a golf pro. Bad press . . Take what you read here with a grain of salt. This writer had an assignment to cover the Juniata . game four hours driving distance away, only to wake up that Satur- day-morning twenty five minutes after the team, coaches, and trainers had already left. Insomnia again? No, there are no excuses, just a blatant mistake. It appears one is not alone. Dave Cater of a local newspaper has already told local readers who the replacement will be.: Marv Antinnes of Wyoming Seminary. One source had this personal opinion: "There's no scoop there. It's been known fact for the last five years that if Schmidt resigned, Marv Antinnes would be the first approached. Cater has got the reputation of taking rumors and calling them fact." Many people are certain this will be Schmidt's last year. But aren't we all jumping the gun a little? There's a season going on. When actually asked whether or not he was going to resign, Coach Schmidt replied, "I can't really tell you what I don't know." Keep in mind .that the only one who coufd decide whether Coach Schmid.t resigns is Coach Schmidt himself. But, of course, there are plenty that are sure he will. Nothing like giving hints. It seems the entire football picture is a little out of focus. The blame £qr such a lousy season cannot rest on one man's shoulders, although that may just be the situation here, some people th.ink. It's probably impossible to get the full perspective of the situation . Much of the available information is contradictory; more of it is just a matter of opinion. Most likely, any attempt at a bottom · line is unrealistic . Another point is that this isn't a matter of life or death.

The program, which was initially · a six year program, allows the student to earn both the bac~alaureate degree and the Doctor of Medicine degree jointly, seven years after entering Wilkes College as a freshman . The 1981-82 freshman class is the last class that will be admitted into the Family Medicine Program; the program · is being phasedout. · · Dr. Ralph Rozelle, Dean of Health Sciences, stated that the "Family Medicine Program has served its purpose." He noted that when the present freshman class enters Hahnemann Medical College it will bring the total number of students who have been admitted to Hahnemann under the program to approximately 200 . Rozelle also noted the success of the program. He feels that it has upgraded the health care offered in the area. He further added that the Fa111ily Practice Residency in Kingston grew out of the same concept as the Wilkes-Hanemann Family Medicine Program. Dr. Rozelle stressed the fact NOTICE The Beacon will not be published on October 23, 1981, due to Fall Break. We will resume our normal publication schedule on Friday, October 30. Anyone interested in submitting material for publication in the October 30 issue is reminded to have ' the material at the Beacon office on October 25, no later than 3 p.m .. Relax and enjoy the break! · · NOTICE When it becomes neceMary to cancel cl~ because of inclement weather, students are advised to listen to WCLH or other local radio stations · for particulars. The Public Relations Office will notify the stations of the cancellation by 7:30 A.M. The Security Desk at Stark Learning Center will also be notified by 7 :30 A.M. that, although . the F amily Medicine Program is being phased out, Wilkes will continue its relationship with Hahnemann. A task force has been appointed by the presidents of both Wilkes and Hahnemann to determine the type of program that will replace the . Family Medicine Program. The task force includes Dr. DiPalma, Vice-president of academic affairs and Dean of the Hahnemann Medical School, Dr. Bondi, Dean of the Graduate School, and Dr. Ladman, Dean of the College of Allied Health Sciences, all from' Hahnemann. Wilkes' task force members include Gerald Hart- dagen, Dean of Academic Affairs, John Whitby, Dean of Special Programs, and Dr. Rozelle. The first meeting of the task force will be held within the month. The first class to complete the Wilkes-Hahnemann ' Family Medicine Program has just graduated from its residency program . Dr. Rozelle noted that it will probably be 1987 before it can be determined how succ;essful the program has been 'in returning family physicians to the understaffed areas of Northeastern Pennsylvania, especially to the more rural counties. WILKES HISTORY - A landmark of the college lies in ruins. Last Friday, a structure known to most simply as "the facade" was torn down near the site of the new residence hall . Although plans originally called for the preservation of this structure, the instability of the foundation necessitated its destruction. Extra Section ·a eme-d ies Class o.,ercroa,ding by Mary Kay Pogar The students in Eco'nomics 231, General - Statistics,_ are learning under less crowded conditions due to the formation of another section for 21 of the 130 business majors enrolled in the course. On Monday, October 5, Ms. Roseann Cordora, began teaching the smaller section of the statistics class in Parrish 33. About ll0 students remain in the original section, which is still taught by Dr. Howard Williams. The formation of the extra section came after several of the students in the class complained of the over-crowded conditions. Questions concerning a possible violation of fire laws also prompted the placement of the 21 students into another section. According to Business Manager Charles Abate, the overcrowded conditions created an "intolerable situation" that "was not conducive to learning, and was a safety hazard." Dr. Howard Williams views the uproar over the number of students in the statistics course as "a tempest in a teapot." He feels that "the situation was blown way out of proportion." The statistics professor cites some evidence which he feels indicates that the conditions in the classroom were not severe. He noted that in a class of 130 students in room 56 in Parrish. Hall, there are approximately 11 + square inches per student, but in "at least two different classes in Parrish 53, " each student has only 9 + square inches. Thus, · a student in the class of 130 in Parrish 56 would have approximately 20 % more space than a student in either of the two classes in room 53. Dr. Williams stated that "there is no difference between a class of 35 and a class of 130." He feels that in any class of more than 20 or 30, students feel inhibited asking questions. For this reason, students would be no less likely to speak up in a class of 130 than they would in a class of 35. The placement of 21 students in another section has alleviated the overcrowded conditions in the statistics class. And if Dr. Williams' theory concerning class size is correct, the students in the new section should benefit from the small size of their class, and the students remaining in the original section will have about two more square inches each. Debate Union ---------------------------------- 4O3rd Trophy Marks 8¾ Years Of Successes The Wilkes College Debate Union achieved what many considered unthinkable a few years ago. This past weekend the members of the Debate Team handed Dr. Bradford L. Kinney his 403 trophy in eight and a half years of intercollegiafe coaching at Wilkes College. The debate squad just completed its first tournament of the year, going undefeated -against twenty-two teams from Mass. to Va. and West Virginia . The Wilkes squad defeated such powerhouses as West Chester State College and the University of Mary}and. Overall Wilkes came in second.losing the first place trophy on points to a powerful Naval Academy (Navy and Wilkes were both undefeated in competition). Wilkes debaters Melanie Russo and Fredrick Deets each were awarded trophies for their outstanding argu_menative skills and the team award was given to Dr. Bradford Kinney. Darlene Schaffer,a varsity member of the Debate Union, also participated 1n the tournament as an observer/critic for some of the novice speakers. Wilkes competed against a variety of debate institutions such as Bridg ew ate r State C ollege (Bridgewater, Mass.), Johns Hopkin Un1v., Howard Univ., Univ.· of Md., Navy, Shepherd College (W. Va .), and West Virginia Weslyan . The tournament ws hosted by Prince George Community College, Largo, Md . (located just outside Washington, D.C.). This was the first tournament of the year for the Wilkes Debaters. In the last two weeks the combined speech and debate squads have won seven major awards. Last week Dr. Kinn~y•s novice freshmen speakers - Marybeth Zuvich, Jim Lehet, and Donna O'Toole - won four awards at Shippensburg State College's Annual Novice Tournament. Ms . Zuvich won awards in prose competition, literary interpretation of poetry and was a finalist in the impromptu speaking competition . Donna O'Toole won an award for her presentation in the difficult prose competition. The Wilkes speech program has shown remarkable grow.t h and success in intercollegiate-competition in the last few years. In addition to winning debate and public speaking awards,Wilkes has enjoyed the distinction' of having won National Honors in discussion competition and is currently rank_ed in the top 15 % of all schools having Forensics programs. The 403 trophy is an accomplishment that few coaches ever achieve in a coaching career, yet Dr. Kinney's squads have accomplished this feat in just eight and a half years. Even with a limited budget and a one - man coaching staff Wilkes College now enjoys the prestig.e of being · a first - class power in forensic and debate circles. As this paper goes to press the members of "Kinney's Kids" are once again on the road as they put their 45 consecutive tournament win record on the lin!l at Clarion State College's Fall Tournament. The Clarion Tournament will attract schools from Ind ., Ohio from the North Maine, and: as far south as the Carolina's for two days of very stiff competition. The Wilkes squad will enter all areas of competition as they challenge for victory. The Debate Union is coached and directed by Dr. Braford L. Kinney of the Speech-Radio Division. �Page2, TheBeacon,Octoberl6,1981 Freshman .

' �October 16, 1981, The Beacon, Page 3 Science Expo '81 Scheduled For October 31 by Melissa Meyers On Saturday, October 31, Wilkes College will hold their "Science Expo '81" in the Stark Learning Center. The Expo is an annual event incorporating all areas of science at the college. Experiments and exhibits are ~cheduled in the departments of Biolo Ps cholo , Ph sics, fer help and answer questions. The Expo's primary function is to give area high school students the opportunity to view Wilkes College's science facilities and programs. This year, however, Coordinator Dr. Walter Placek has introduced two new purposes: to give a broader view of college life to high school students, and to give Mathematics, Computer Science, Earth and Environmental Science, Nursing, Health Science, Engineering and Chemistry. All activities, including registration and guided tours of the campus, will be prepared and presented by Wilkes College students. Club advisors and chairmen of various departments will be on hand to of- returning alumni a chance to visit their respective departments . It is for these two reasons that "Science Expo '81" is scheduled the same day as Wilkes College's Homecoming. It is Dr. Placek's view that as far as alumni are concerned, Homecoming involves a decorated cam us and a football ame but provides no opportunity to see what is happening academically . Hopefully, the Expo will give alumni an opportunity to catch up on science at Wilkes, as well as to visit old friends. Placek feels that in the past the Expo has been presenting too narrow a view of what the college has to offer, especially to visiting high school students. By incorporating the Expo with Homecoming, Placek hopes to show "not only our facilities and departments, but a little bit of college life." For this purpose, high school students will be provided with tours of the Stark Hall Complex, lunch at the cafeteria, · and complimentary tickets to the Homecoming football game. Another important aspect of this year's Expo is the emphasis on science as a career. Participating students will receive information about the vocational opportunities within all fields of science. Says Placek, "As science comes to play an ever-increasing role in daily life, opportunities for students are expanding. Our hope is to get students involved (at Wilkes) not only for our good, but their own." Although the Expo is scientific in nature, all students are invited to participate. Help is needed for publicity, registration, and campus tours for guest students. Those wishing to get involved ·should contact Dr. Walter Placek, Physics, or Professor Ann-Marie Kolapowski, Nursing. The Co-operative Education department is sponsoring a co-op fair to be held on Thursday, October 22. It will be held in Stark Leaming Center Lobby from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. 20 cooperative representatives will he on campus to discuss internships. Mr. Robert Koester and Dr. Bradford L.

National Newspaper Week is once again upon us. It is during this week that we, as Americans, must celebrate the fact that we are the only free, independent press in the world. This year's theme - A FREE PRESS, YOUR WINDOW TO THE WORLD - sums up the feeling which is prevalent in America. Without a free press, we would be fed only the information the government dictates we should know. Think how single-minded we all would be if we were fed only governmental propaganda_. A free press safeguards American freedom of speech. Americans are able to voice their opinions through letters to the editor and editorials without fear of retribution from the government. What a stale, stifled society we would have if we had to fear voicing our opinions! The right of a free press is a right guaranteed us by our founding fathers, in the First Amendment to the Constitution, and one that should not be taken lightly. However, just because we have these rights does not mean we, as private citizens, reporters or editors, have the right to disregard truth, accuracy, fairness or objectivity,, We must always strive for accuracy, truth and fairness; we must not use the pages of a newspaper for personal vendettas or for our own reward. Despite our dedication to bringing people the trutli and factual information, we sometimes do make mistakes. We are not infallible, superhuman beings. Each and every human being makes mistakes - reporters and editors included. This is not an attempt to make excuses for erroneous reporting, but rather a reminder that we are indeed subject to making mistakes, as is everyone else. We do not intentionally go out and get the facts wrong. We are human! This is where the citizen's freedom comes into play. If a mistake is made, the citizen has the right to make this fact known. We will always acknowledge our mistakes and take the necessary steps to rectify it. We welcome constructive criticism, because it can only serve to help us 90 our job better. . Newspapers have been, and always will, be accused of stirring up controversy where none exists. When we report something controversial, that is all we are doing - reporting controversy where it actually exists. By reporting controversy, we are helping you, the citizen. As citizens, don't you feel you should be made aware of a controversial proposal, event or action? You can then exercise your rights and respond in the appropriate manner. A free press is YOUR window to the world in many ways. You will always be sure that you are receiving factual, ' truthful information. You can be sure, also, that no information is being withheld from you. The right to a free p~ is a right that not only protects the media, but also (and most importantly) you - the people. Protect the First Amendment and exercise your rights. The following office hours will be in effect until the end of the semester: Mondays: 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Fridays: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. On Wednesdays, the majority of the staff will be available at the office from 1 p.m. until approximately 8 p.m. Anyone wishing information concerning the Beacon is welcome to call or stop in during these hours. Editors will be leaving the office approximately one quarter before the hour in order to insure they arrive , to class on time. Please take this into consideration when contacting the office. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK October 11-17, 1981 Since the founding of the Republic, freedom of the press has been a fundamental tenet of American life. We have always believed that the truth, given a chance to be heard, has a power of its own. And we recognize that a free press, whatever its occasional abuses or excesses, is essential to the pursuit of that truth and to the human freedom it engenders. To continue as a success in what Thomas Jefferson called our "noble experiment" in self-government , there is no more essen t ial ingredient than a free, strong, and independent press. For a people to truly govern themselves, they must have a free flow of information on which to base their decisions and attitudes. The dedicated men and women of the journalistic fraternity, who serve their profession with responsibility and high standards of accuracy, are among the foremost bulwarks of our nation's liberty. Their credibility and devotion to news reporting is a major factor in our people's confidence in our free institutions. Newspapers serve as the nerve centers of information so essential to the functioning of modern life in America. Because of the in-depth reporting and analysis offered by newspapers , we are able to build a knowledgeable frame-of-reference by wh ich to interpret events. The knowledge produced by devoted newspaper people coupled with the freedom to print the truth as they see it, is the foundation for the continued progress of o ur nation. Nancy and I join all Americans in paying tribute to our country's newspapers during this week long recognition of their many contributions to our way of life. Drs. Kaska And Leslie Praised For Their Humanitarian Act Editor's Note: We at the Beacon received a copy of this letter which was sent to President Capin. Because of the humanitarian qualities of several members of the Wilkes faculty, we felt the entire campus should be made ~ware of how these men helped a member of the community. We are proud to have these two men as members of the Wilkes Family! Dear Mr. Capin: A special humanitarian act was accomplished through the help of several of your staff, and I wanted to make you aware of it. Recently it came to may attention of the need for open heart surgery for a two year old boy residing in Lebanon . His physician had sent a note requesting help with this case to a cousin of the child residing in Allentown, Pa. This person is also my cousin and brought it to my attention. I discussed the case with Dr. Norman Schulman of Wilkes-Barre General Hospital. He in turn spoke with Dr. Ruggerio of General Hospital and Dr. Ruggerio was willing to present the case at a meeting scheduled the_ following day with several heart specialists. However, the case history was in French. I immediately called my friend, Dr. Tom Kaska, and asked- if he co'uld assist me. He in turn asked Dr. Donald Leslie if he would undertake this task. He agreed and . had the translation ready for me by 8:30 the following morning. The case was staffed at WilkesBarre General Hospital, a call was made to Deborah Heart and Lung Hospital and they agreed to accept the child. We sent for the child and his mother who arrived here on September 12. !,accompanied them to Deborah Hospital and Dany is scheduled for surgery this week. , The family joins me in heartfelt gratitude for caring persons such as Dr. Kaska and Dr, Leslie. Because they acted without thought of self, Dany is being helped, an indication of the calibre of these fine men . My son, (Jay Tucker, Assistant Housing Director) tells me he is enjoying his new job sq much . With people like the above-on staff, I'm so glad he is a part of the Wilkes Family. · · Sincerely, Mrs. Rose Tucker Executive Director (Community Cancer Corporation of Luzerne County) �October 16, 1981, The Beacon, Page 5 Dean Phillips -The Story 0/ An Anchorman by Lisa Gurka "Those stories and more tonight at 6 and l 1. You be here both times." Anyone who watches WBRE-TV, Channel 28, is familiar with these words spoken by the bright and personable anchorman, Dean Phillips. Phillips has been anchorman for a little over a year now, coming to Wilkes-Barre from an anchor position at WNCT-TV in Greenville, NC. Before that, he had been a talk show host, an investigative reporter, and anchorman for KFBD-TV in Great Falls, Montana . Not bad for a 29-year-old man who has been in the newsreporting business for only four short years. He describes his start in the business as a "fluke ." A business major working as a law clerk at George Mason University in Fairfax County, Virginia;"' Phillips heard that the local PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) station was starting a newscast. Disgruntled with the law business and finding it dull, he submitted a resume tape to the station - with no broadcasting training. Although he applied too late and all the positions were filled, Phillips worked part time for no money, fi_n ding that he was "fairly good" and "loved the business." "That was the best thing that ever happened to me," commented Phillips, "and I don't want to do anything else." Phillips is not only anchorman at WBRE, but he is also managing news editor and co-producer of the -11 P.M. newscast. He has .the say as to where the stories go in the newscast and how much time will be given to each story. He also writes much of the news. The purpose of news, according to Phillips, is "fulfilling a huge need in a complex world. Someone has to make sense of the events that occur each day and put them into perspective." He commented that he tries to relate the news to the people on a person-to-person level, instead of as if he were on a pedestal. Phillips said that he sometimes finds anchoring the news a little confining; . he would rather "go more in-depth" with stories. However, what he enjoys best about the news business is "the industry itself. There is never a dull moment in TV news. It's an exciting, important business a~d it keeps the adrenalin pumping." He commented that his favorite job was that of a talk show host. Instead of simply presenting the news, Phillips said, "You can take an issue and go into greater depth. You can really, truly inform people." However, Phillips said that he cannot picture himself not being associated with news. He emphatically declared, "I love news!" Phillips cited the extreme amount of competition among those in the news media, but explained that it only helps to make a person a better newscaster. "It's a tremendous responsibili~y," he commented, ,-s EYEWITNESS NEWS - Dean Phillips, a local news anchorman, teaches the Mass Media course here at Wilkes. He explains the most difficult aspect of disseminating the news as being responsible, objective and unbiased. but doing a good job is "far more important than satisfying your ego. " When asked how he feels about the Wilkes-Barre area, Phillips responded that he likes it better than any other he's been in . He feels that the people in this area are "extremely candid and actively involved in the media ." He further commented that the people will "analyze, criticize and compli- . ment. " Phillips referred to this area as "ofi__!lro_a_dway, off New York," citing the pressure cable television puts on the broadcasters of this area to do a good job. He commented that he is comfortable here · because the people don't view him as a celebrity. They see him as a person giving them the news. "That's good," he said. "I like that " "The Northeast is where it's at for news," according to Phillips. The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area is ranked 45 in market size, based on the number of potential viewers. Through the cable system, the broadcasts can reach into New York and New Jersey, down into Allentown, and as far west as State College. Phillips is ranked among the top 150 anchormen and women in this country. He was also one of 20 anchors chosen to do a promo for the news with John Chancellor, anchorman for NBC Nightly News. The most difficult aspect of his work, according to Phillips, is "dealing with the responsibility of the job. We broadcast to an enormous amount of people and must strive for objectivity. It's nearly impossible, because you must be responsible to all sides involved. You have to make sure the facts are right." The difficulty is evident when there are 40 potent'ial news stories, and only 20 must be chosen to be aired. Phillips always looks for the lead story - the story that will affect the most people. For example, if there was a story on a murder and one on a major economic develop- ment, Phillips would lead off with the · economic story. "It has a greater impact and validity," he explained . In a . world of assassination attempts on world leaders and economic crises, how does a person keep his sanity and remain stable? "A sense of humor" is Phillips' answer. "It's crazy time, it's show time," commented Phillips. "You have to have a sense of humor, because you never know what you'll face when you walk in. That makes it exciting." This fact shows through in the way Phillips describes the reporters and atmosphere of WBRE. fie compares the station to M* A*S*H, himself to Hawkeye and weatherman Hugh Finn to Trapper John. He joked, "We're all a bunch of characters!" In the hectic business of making sense of the news, Phillips amazingly does find time for relaxation and recreation . His prime hobby is wood working. He is an avid baseball and softball player and fan. Phillips also enjoys golfing, which he describes as "very therapeutic." He loves the Rocky Mountains and quipped, "I think I'm a cowboy at heart. " Phillips also likes to write, although he commented that he has become less of a romantic by being involved with the news. "It toughens you up," he stated. Dean Phillips would like to write a book about being an anchorman. The potential title? "This Just In - _T he Story of an Anchorman."

Williams' play. by S. Freeman and B. Mondlak Last Friday's performance of Tennessee Williams' The Glass Menagerie had many flaws but was, overall, a good production. The Glass Menagerie is a play of human desperation, but the production ultimately failed to deliver the sense of pathetic hopelessness intended by Williams. The play was marked, however, by the strong performances of Diane Hartdagen as Amanda and Chris Lonstrup as her son Tom, which elevated the play to a pleasant collection of "spots of time." Central to the play is the character of Laura, the embodiment of all that is true, beautiful, and good. Inherent in such a character is the delicacy and fragility of her existence in the world around her. Laura is a piece of glass in Amanda's ~inbow of memory, and so becomes in her pure form an extension of the glass menagerie, reflecting the perception of beauty Amanda so desperately clings to. In much the same way, Tom is an extension of Amanda's prismatic world, and thus she expects his only function to be t he sublimation of his own heartfelt desires to her refracted space in time.

For four years she has played excellent and consistent volleyball for Wilkes in tot.al obscurity. The only people who are aware of her skills are teammates, · coaches, and opposing teams. Everyone else says "Cathy who?", but by the end of this article everyone will know who she is. A senior . biology major from Wilkes-Barre, Cathy has been a natural volleyball player ever since high school. She was a four-year . starter at GAR, and she has·been a fixture at Wilkes ever since her freshman year. For the past two seasons she has also served as team captain. Every week for Cathy is an outstanding one; however, the statistics do not tell even half of the story. This week the team played and defeated Delaware Valley and Misericordia. Cathy's sta~ were 17 kills and 18 service aces for the two games . These are excellent numbers, but the incredible thing is that she does it all the time.

The setter is the quarterback, for she. gets the offense moving and, in a sense, throws the passes (sets) to the receivers (hitters). The hitters usually get all of the publicity, but a hitter is only as good as the person who sets her the ball. Cathy is an excellent setter, and she makes it easy for all of the hitters to complete kills. Believe me, she is greatly appreciated. The setter may be small in the eyes of the media, but she looms large to the rest of the team. Cathy is a serious person, and this is reflected in her approach to the game. She plays volleyball because it is good excerise and provides an excellent opportunity to meet people, but shem mainly plays for the competition. Cathy is a real competitor, and she hates to lose a match. This may sound a bit negative, but as the saying goes, "show me a good loser, and I will show you a loser." Cathy also takes her position as team captain very sedously, and she is aware of her responsibility. She knows that she must lead the team both on and off the court, but she also knows that she must keep the team psyched up Chuck Robbins ...

The Beacon, October 16, 1981 Colonelettes Split Two Games WATCH THAT STICK - here's a typical example of the tough competition the Colonelettes had against Marywood. The only trouble is, they all seem to have the same uniforms. by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team split two games this week. They lost to Marywood 2-1 and defeated FDUMadison 4-0 to raise their record to 2-6. The Marywood game can becalled the one that' got away. Statistically, the lady Colonels completely dominated the game, but a failure to capitalize on opportunities and defensive lapses cost them the victory. The offense . produced 24 shots on goal and 8 penalty corner shots as compared to Marywood's 8 and 3. Diane Hall scored the lone goal for Wilkes. The team had an abundance of opportunties to score, but they just could not find the net. It was a tougliloss, but there were some bright spots which were· greatly encouraging. The first was the overall offensive output which is the result of a readjusted attack formation. The second was the defensive play of senior co-captain Helen Gorgas. Time and time . again from her center halfback spot she frustrated Marywood's scoring drives. The third is perhaps the most important. The team was down 2-0 at the half, and everybody could have lain down and given up. However, the ladies showed their heart and character, for they came out in the second half fighting and scored 12 min.!filtinto the half/ -- The game against FDU was all lady Colonels as the team totally dominated the contest. This time the score matched the statistics. The ladies outshot FDU 31 to 4 and had· 16 penalty corners as compared to 4 fo r FDU. The first goal was scored by freshman Jeanne Dougherty, the first of her career, and she was assisted by Diane McGovern . The second was scored unassisted by Helen Gorgas. This goal was unusual, for halfbacks usually do not score during the course of a game. At halftime the score was'2-0. In the second half, t he team took up where it left off. Junior cocaptain Diane Hall scored the third goal on an assist from freshman Sue DeFrates. Sue then got the first of her career as she was assisted by Michelle Weiss to close out the scoring. Colonels Lose Fourth To Trenton Costly errors helped the Colonels surrender to defeat once again. For their fourth straight loss, the Colonels succumbed to Trenton State 18-7 last Saturday in Trenton, New Jersey. Neither team scored in the first half, but Wilkes had an opportunity to score with a little over five minutes left in the third quarter after Larry McMullen recovered a fumble at the Trenton State eight yard line. It would have been the first time the Colonels took the lead in a game this year, but Trenton's Al Canzano stole a Wayne Lonstein pass at the goal line and -returned the ball all the way to the Colonel's 41 yard line. Six plays later Tren- ton took the lead 6-0 before failing to make a two point conversion. In their very next possession, the Colonels made it easy for Trenton State by fumbling on first down . In no time at all, Wilkes fell behind, 12-0. With 6:47 left in the game the Colonels had a chance to narrow the gap after Carl Sosnowski recovered a fumble at the Trenton four yard line. After three plays, Wilkes got pushed back seven yards to their opponent's eleven. A fourth down pass attempt failed, and the Colonels missed out on another scoring opportunity. Wilkes avoided_its third straight shutout late in the fourth quarter when Tony Madden hauled in a Bill Rogers pass from ten yards out. The Colonels had previously gone eleven quarters without scoring. With a minute left in the game, Trenton State finished the Colonels off with another touchdown . Mike Azure and Pat Walsh were strong defensively, tackling 14 and 12 respectively. So far this season the Colonels have been out-scored 142 to 26. A loss at Juniata tomorrow will ensure a losing season for Wilkes . In the aerial department, Wilkes picked up a meager 18 yards. Bob Hessling gained 61 of 79 rushing yards for the Colonels, who gained only 97 yards overall. Trenton State gained 295 total yards. Pascoe Breaks Personal Record by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team made the most of its one meet this week by narrowly defeating Moravian 27-29. This impressive victory ran . the overall season record to 9-5, and the winning strea~ is at six and counting. This was a tough meet for the Colonel harriers. Coach Bellairs was a bit concerned, for his young squad was facing a team which had been excellent last year and which was returning its top two runners. In addition, the team had an injury problem. Joe Dill, the crucial fifth man, ran with painful blisters on his feet, and Rob Davis was out with an injury. The team had a disadvantage, and it needed someone to assert himself and run to victory. Enter Ken Pascoe, the natural choice, for he is the captain and a senior. The saying "when the going getstough, the tough get going" best describes Pascoe's performance. A seasoned, veteran runner, he rose to the occasion and tan thence of his life. The race began, and the top Moravian runner led for the first two miles with Pascoe hot on his heels. At this point, Ken began to assert himself. He blew past the Moravian runner, and showed him and the rest of the field nothing but his heels until the finish line with a personal best time of 26:14. Coach Bellairs had nothing but praise for Pascoe's outstanding perform ance. He noted that Pascoe really became a leader, for he was determined and wanted the race. Ken is also an inspiration to his younger teammates, for . h.e · is working hard for the upcoming MAC's. It would be a safe bet to predict more outstanding performances for the rest of the season and, of course, at the MAC's. SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES • byllarktl•••• Losing. It isn't really much to talk about. It's supposed to be helpful. We're supposed to learn from it. However, it just isn't that simple. Last week our football team lost again. Other teams from Wilkes lose. But for the football team this year, something different comes into the losing picture. The last six years -saw losing seasons for the Wilkes College Colonels. Since 1975 we won · 12 games, lost 30. The 1974 division championship and the glory years of 'the late 60's are all but a memory now . The past is gone. In twenty years Rollie Schmidt has become the "winningest" football coach in Wilkes history. His 90-68-1 record as of last week is nothing to be scoffed at. It is pretty impressive. This week, Schmidt will be facing a low ebb in his coaching . career. This year the Colonels.have lost their first four games in a row. If they lose at Juniata Saturday, the streak will be at five. It will be the worst start for the Colonels in twenty years. Last year the Colonels began the year losing four straight games. Take the last two games from the 1979 season and you have the longest losing streak for the Colonels in twenty years. Six in a row. In 1978 Wilkes lost five in a row, and in 1977 the Colonels lost their first four. From 1965, midway into the season, to the beginning of the 1969 season, the Colonels rolled up 32 victories in a row. But the glory years are gone. Facing the Colonels and coach Schmidt is the worst season in Wilkes history. If they win one game, it'll be one of the worst seasons. Since 1946 the Colonels have managed to win at least one game a season. If the Colonels lose to Juniata tomorrow, this will be another losing season. Make that seven in a row. The pressure is on the Colonels, but what would there be to learn from all this losing? What have they learned this season? There isn't really much to say about losing. It's not impressive. It's not really enjoyable, unless one can tolerate it. Wilkes football fans are beginning to tolerate losing. They just don't go to the games. Our lacrosse team always seemed to lose. Opinions and objections, criticism and reflections are all means by which a team and its progress can be examined. But talk is cheap. What can be said? The Colonel line doesn't seem to open gaping holes for any superstar running backs to burst through. The uarterback we have three that , ta e turns, it seems) oesn t get the time to hit some fleet-footed receiver for that big pass play. Tony Madden is the star receiver, but he's only had a handful of passes thrown to him all year. The defense has been spared any criticism because all their problems could be blamed on the offense, which seldom gives them a chance to rest. However, the other teams do move the ball against us. They roll up the yardage and the points. Azure and Walsh and some of the others are really tough competitors; they produce, but the · Wilkes defense also relenquishes. W.,e intercept many passes but many more land complete. A good running back could have a field day breaking tackles against · Wilkes.~ Coach Schmidt often asserts that on any given day, one MAC north division team can beat the next. The day hasn't come yet for Wilkes. When an opponent hands the ball over to the Wilkes offense, the defensive team has three plays and a punt to get instructions from · Defensive Coordinator Ed Lukas. Business as usual. The punt gets blocked, Wilkes fumbles . How does a team get motivated when · everything goes wrong? Wilkes has a basically young team. They really don't have much to lose from losing. The team has experience to gain but they learn nothing about winning. Think about it. The freshmen on the team do not know what it is like to win a college football game . The seniors know what it is like, but so far their last year mustn't be fu ll of many good memories. It's a shame this year has gone so poorly. Winning doesn't come easily. The team has no trouble losing. There isn't really much to • say about losing. Wilkes is now in the position of , being the doormat of the MAC north division. Football is a game of pride. Games are won on pride. so called "miracles" are accomplished . But pride alone is not enough . It can be as destructive as it is helpful. It . can be destroyed. The football team will have to do something, or . it will have nothing to be proud of . The team will have the future,. Coach Schmidt will have his memories, fans .will hav e something to talk or argue about, students will ask "Did we win?" Will we win? It won't. be easy . Juniata is tough at home. The Indians may ·be a tough team, a better team . The pressure is on. We may win or we may lose, but the most important thing for the Colonels would be to at least make it look as if they tried. ◄ . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Wilkes Co1lege Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Non-profit Organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Vol. XXXIV No. 6 October 9, 1981 IRHC Will Moue Pickering r - - - - - - - S G - - - - , - - - - ~ First Party In Student Center's Office To Student Center by Donna Nitka President Bill Lourie announced at Sunday's IRHC meeting that IRHC will soon be opening a new office. The new office will be located on the second floor of the Student Center, in the Pool room. IRHC will continue to use its office in Pickering lobby until the new office is made ready. Chris Lain, Co-chairperson of the Human Services Committee, reported that the first Blood Donor Day of the semester is scheduled for Friday, November 6. She stressed the need for student support of this event. Lain noted that the committee will again award $25 to the residence hall with the highest percentage of donors. Other topics discussed under new business included community commitment and fund-raising for the NACURH conference. Lourie stated that, as a major college organization, IRHC has a commitment to support the Wilkes-Barre • community. He noted that IRHC would be working jointly with CC in developing ways in which the Councils could show their support of the community. As part of its fund-raising effort to attend the upcoming NACURH regional conference, IRHC sponsored a pizza sale Sunday night. The Council also plans to hold a caramel apple sale in the near future. Proceeds from both sales will be used to send representatives to the NACURH conference which will be held on November 6, 7, and 8 at Wittenburg University in Dayton, Ohio. In his closing comments, Lourie again stressed the importance of representative's attendance at the weekly meetings. He also reminded the reps to support IRHC in their respective halls . NOTE: It has brought to the attention of the Beacon that two of the statements in last week's IRHC article were incorrect . It was reported that, according to the new IRHC ammendment, if an IRHC quorum could not be gathered within 24 hours, Student Government would have the power to decide IRHC matters. It was also reported that Bill Lourie stated that he would recommend the Freshman Follies to next year's Council as an alternative to hazing. ·The following is the corrected information: The Council decided that the Executive Council, not Student Government, _would have the power to decide IRHC matters, and Lourie would recommend the Follies as an alternative to hazing only if hazing was banned by the college.

'Cavern' Scheduled For Tonight by Doug Fahringer At Monday's Student Government meeting, Jay Tucker, Director and Advisor of the Student Center Board, welcomed the future moves of the SC and IRHC offices into the Student Center. He also announced the SCB Party which will be held tonight from 9 p.m. -1 a.m. in the "The Cavern" which is the lower level of the Student Center. "The Cavern" is now the central location of the games in the Student Center. Tucker also mentioned the upcoming Video Game Tournament scheduled for Thursday, Oct . 15 from 4-10 p.m . For more information concerning the tournament, contact Jay Tucker on the second floor of the Student Center . In other business, the Biological Society returned, requesting $200 from SC to help accommodate 1~ students planning to attend the Chincoteague and Assoteague Islands on Oct . 17-20 . The new request will be voted on at next week's SC meeting. The Abeline and Old Friends concert was deemed successful; SC Recording Secretary Elaine Kerchusky noted the good turn out in the gym and said that $522 was made from the concert. The Social Committee then announced plans for a Country and Western Party scheduled for Friday, Oct. 23 in the Student Center. Constitutions submitted by the Martial Arts Club of Wilkes College and by IRHC were l;_>oth read and passed by the SC body. Also at the meeting, an AntiNuclear W~r. Symposium was announced for Oct. 14-15. Lectures on nuclear weapons and the effects of a nuclear war will be given on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m . in SLC 101, and on Thursday there will be a brief presentation and discussion concerning these issues. The symposium is a joint effort sponsored by the Environmental and Earth Science Club and the Political Science Club. SC Representative Janine Tucker raised another topic at the meeting concerning the poor lighting on campus. She felt that this was a matter that needed to be brought to Dr. Shaw's attention. Tucker said that "security at night is d epe ndent upon proper lighting." The area Tucker cited is the walkway between the Annette Evans Alumni House and the 'Student Center. Apartment Committee €hairman Outlines Future Plans With CC by John Finn The new Chairman of the Apartment Committee was introduced to Commuter Council Monday night. Rudy Fischl, himself an apartment student, briefly addressed the council and outlined his ideas for operating the committee. He stated he would like to establish a system of communication and reference for apartment students or prospective apartment students. Fischl also suggested the possibility of a workshop for people seeking an apartment. The workshop would · deal with matters such as how to examine leases and contract obligations and other legal and technical aspects of finding an apartment . . Other committee reports consistently pointed out poor attendance at individual weekly committee meetings, a situation that has not improved since the beginning of the year. Joe Knox, President, has offered suggestions in the past to remedy the problem, such as urging each Council member to recruit at least one non-CC student for committee membership . Dave Kalinowski, C. C. Homecoming Committee Chairman, stated he "will not report what's going on" with his committee because "I don't want it to get out yet." One fellow Council member stated, ''I've been to all the meetings and I still don't know what we're doing." Kalinowski was also Mr. Enthusiasm Monday night. This is a new feature of the Council sessions. For a few moments, Mr. En- · thusiasm stood and gave a rousing oration designed to instill enthusiasm in other Council members; he also faceitiously threatened bodily. harm to any member who did not comply. Thor Foss, Chairman of the United Way Drive, announced plans for a Walk-athon. No definite date has been set, but Foss said it may be around October 23. He also stated that although he has participated in a Walk-athon, he has never directed one before and said he would appreciate any organizational help . The date of this year's Blood Donor Drive has been changed from October 29 to November 6. CC is considering conducting contests to increase commuter involvement in the drive. Most contest plans call for prizes to be awarded to clubs and organizations which contribute the largest amount of blood from its collective members. Some members objected to proposals for a C.C. contest that would give prizes to individuals Two ROTc·officers Promoted · by Andrea Hincken Two members of the Wilkes College RO_TC detachment, Master Sergeant Robert E . Herman and Technical Sergeant. Dennis Evangelista, were recently promoted to their new ranks and duties . Herman and Evangelista are responsible for introducing and assisting cadets in the important initial steps in their Air Force careers. Herman takes care of military and financial records of the cadets. He prepares forms and •checks signatures until the time that the cadets are commissioned. Herman's family is also living in this area, so he is glad to be here. When asked how he felt about his promotion, he said, "It is nice to be assigned in my hometown ." Correspondence files, payroll and business forms are done by Evangelista. Unfortunately, Evangelista will be leaving in March of 1982 for Turkey for his new assignment. He commented, "It has been enjoyable showing the kids the Air Force life". Both men agreed that their jobs are interrelated, as the work they do leads to the commissioning of the cadets. Both men obtained their promotions by passing the W APS test (Weighed Air Max Promotion System). This system also involves personal evaluation of past work and merits received while on duty. ◄ �Page I, T1le Beacon, October 9, 1981 More Parking Spaces Created Yet The Situation Remains Unchanged by Mary Kay Pogar The parking situation for students at Wilkes remains virtually unchanged this year, although several more spaces have been created in the Bedford and Old Denison parking lots. Parking is by permit only, and commuting and · residence hall students apply for parking stickers through their respective councils. Residence Hall student parking lots include those behind Gore, Pickering, Sterling, Dana and Doane Halls, the Old Slocum lot on South Franklin Street and the Old Denison lot on Ross St. Commuter student parking lots are those next to Bedford and Parrish Halls, and th\l Temple Israel lot. Eugene Manganello7 Personnel Director, stresses that these are the only lots in which students may park on campus. All other campus lots are reserved for faculty and · administration. The personnel director noted Career Placement llegistry Introduced Tfais Semester that all illegally parked cars will be ticketed and may possibly be towed . This policy of ticketing and towing will be strictly enforced. A school security guard patrols all lots on campus to deal with parking violations. This year the personnel office has tried to improve communication with the guard. The guard now carries a two-way radio on his patrol, for when he finds an illegally parked car, the guard can now immediately contact the personnel office to determine the owner of the car The personnel office can notify the patrol guard of any complaints they have received of violations. Students who have complaints about the parking situation on campus should speak with the representatives of IRHC and CC. The councils may then solve the problem themselves, or may refer it to the personnel office. that the spaces in the parking lots are not guaranteed . Even if a student has a sticker which indicates he may park in a campus lot, he may not park in the lot if it is full and he will block the exit of any car, even if another-car is parked illegally in that lot . However, if the one lot is filled, the student may park in another student lot. It is important to note that only residence hall students may park in lots for residence hall students, while only commuters may park in lots reserved for commuting students. Mr. Mangenello cites some of the recurrent parking violations. "The space behind the CPA is a place where many parking• violations occur." Often, people park in front of the entrance for the handicapped. Students without licenses indicating they are handicapped also park in those spaces reserved for those who are handicapped. Mangenello emphasizes Concerned about finding a job after graduation? Now there's a new campus service that can put your resume in the hands of over 10,000 employers both here and abroad. Career Placement Registry is the new service's name and it is being introduced this semester on over 1,200 college and university campuses across the country. Career Placement Registry gives students the opportunity to record their personal and academic credentials in an international direct-access database. Potential employers are able to search the on-line system for any or all of the following prospective employee criteria: college, degree, major /minor, grades, occupational and- geographical preference, citizenship status, relevant experience, language proficiency, and special skills. The data students enter into the CPR system is searchable via the Dialog Information Service. Over 10,000 companies in 44 countries currently use Dialog for information retrieval. CPR enables these employers to match the best qualified candidate to any job opening. Liberal Arts graduates, for example, may easily be screened by personnel directors for trainee programs through the use ofthesystem. For a fee of $8.00, students may enter the CPR data base for a period of six months. All data entered into the computer will be 1982 Research Associateship Awards Program Announced The National Research Council announces its 1982 Research Associateship Awards Programs for research in the sciences and engineering to be conducted in 18 federal research institutions, whose laboratories are located th roughout the United States.

"Yeah, let's drop them in three quick ones," and that is just what they did. In their second confrontation with King's College, Wilkes again proved to King's who was the boss . A spike from King's can be compared to a queen swatting at flies . Needless to say Wilkes trampled all over King's in three fast and painful (for them) games, 15-3; 15-9 and 15-5. Then on Friday and Saturday (October 2 & 3) Wilkes participated in the Juniata College Women's Volleyball ~lassie . Although Wilkes did not win they did gain tremendous experience. A few of the teams Wilkes faced were West Chester College, Washington , College, and, of course, Juniata . On Sunday, October 4, Wilkes would take on FDU Madison. This was no ordinary game. Pride, selfrespect and more importantly, a spot on the MAC Championship scorecard were riding on this game . The power, skill, determination, and perseverence these women showed was by far the strongest anyone had seen all season. Wilkes really wanted this game badly and there was no way they were going to bow to FDU. Ellen Van Riper, affectionately known as "The Ripper," broke a team record for total points scored in a match by an individual. Ellen scored twenty-one kills out of fourty-four attempts in four games. Her hitting in those games was like that of a piledriver pounding steel beams. She also had seven service aces, g1vmg her a total of twenty eight points scored. Sally "The Deflector Shield" Fisher did a great job blocking. She had five kills and six serving aces . Sally is the one who prevented FDU from doing serious damage. Jennifer "The Flame Thrower" · Golding kept the hits coming when Wilkes really needed them. She finished with 11 kills and six service aces. The women of Wilkes really proved their championship talent by blowing away FDU 15-9; 15-10 and 15-11. That was enough to assure them a place at the MAC Championship at Dickenson College on November 6 & 7. Coach Saracino commented on . their success. "The girl have worked extremely hard and I am very proud of them. They are well disciplined and proved that they don't choke under pressure." Cross Country Team Runs 1981 Season Record To 7-5 by Ellen Van Riper The cross country team upped its season record to 7-5 with a fourvictory week. The squad downed Philadelphia - Pharmacy 24-31, Baptist Bible 25-31, Cabrini 15-49, and Allentown College 17-39 . The team ran a tough five-mile course in 44 degree weather. Senior captain Ken Pascoe and freshman standout Dave Levandoski tied for first with a time of 28:43 . The win was Pascoe's third of the season and was Levandoski's second . Rounding out the top five for the Colonels were Bill Wolfe at 29:17, Tom McGuireat29:22, and Joe Dill at 31 :22. Coach Bellairs was pleased with his squad's performance·, but he made special mention of Wolfe and McGuire. These tow runners have made the most progress so far this season.

Susquehanna University blocked punts, kicked field goals, ran touchdowns, passed for a touchdown , returned a punt for a touchdown; intercepted passes, recovered fumbles,forced a safety, but they did not return any kickoffs . Wilkes orily kick-off once. "If anything could go wrong, it probably did," Coach Schmidt said. The only right thing the Colonels did was to show up for the game, and even that can be debated . The score: Susquehanna 48, Wilkes nothing. Next week the Colonels take on powerhouse Trenton State in New Jersey. This week's prediction . .. never mind.

After last week's contests, the Colonel's record now stands at 0-5 . On Sept. 30 the Colonels faced Muhlenberg, and for the fourth straight game they were shutout, losing to the Mules, 5-0. It looked like the Colonels would make it five straight games without a goal as they trailed Lycoming 2-0 after the tirst half of last Saturday's game. Then it happened. The Colonels first goal went to senior co-captain Mike Karnes with Tim Williams assisting on the play. The goal cut Lyco's lead to 2-1 , but the Warriors went on to win 5-1. · "We make the same mistakes game after game, " Coach Lopez said. During this week in practice, the Colonels have been trying to correct a few team weaknesses. Assistant Coach Kelly Noseworthy explained the problems, saying, "A couple of our players are playing really good; some of the others are hurting in the fundamentals. Trapping is poor, passing is poor." The Colonels have moved to a 3-3-4 setup, moving four men to the front line to bolster the attack . Their next test will be Saturday at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pa . at 2:00 p.m. Wilkes next home game is Thursday, Oct . 15, against Elizabethtown. Game time is 3:30 at Ralston Field. Tennis After a well-played 9-1 victory over Baptist Bible, the w omen's tennis team upped its record to 2-3 . The team had previously lost to King's and Scranton, then picked up a forfeit from Upsala. Before the Baptist Bible match, the Lady Colonels hosted Bloomsburg at Ralston Field and lost every singles and doubles match. Wilkes did much better against the Baptist Bible team than against some of the tougher competition. Lisa DelGaudio, Cathy Price, Terry Monseur, Trish Palys and Charlotte Fees all won singles matches. In the doubles competition the teams of DelGaudio/ Monseur, Palys/ Price, and Fees/Reilly all came up victorious.

This kind of consistent progress is very significant, for if they keep it up, they will peak by November 7 and the MAC championships. Another man to watch is fifth runner Joe Dill. Since each team is only as good as its fifth man, it is important that he continually cut his time. Coach Bellairs stressed that the fifth runner has to be extra dedicated, for the team's chances at the MAC's will depend upon his progress . Right now Dill is the man, but there is a group of runners hot on his heels. Rob Davis is a first-year runner, and he cut his time by two minutes at the last meet. Jim Bell is a senior who _recently joined the team, and Bellairs believes that he will push for the fifth spot once he gets in condition . Andy Grant is recovering from a knee injury, and he should be rounding into top form very soon. Bill Lynch has shown steady improvement all season long, and Chuck Harris has improved his time by a minute per week.

On Saturday, the Lady Colonels trayeled to Bloomsburg for a douhie header against the University of Pittsburgh and Bloom. Wilkes battled to a 1-1 tie against Division II Pitt . before losing to Bloomsburg 1-0. "We need the good competition if we're going to get any better," Coach Meyers said, but the competition made winning too difficult for Wilkes. Against Pittsburgh, Cometa, a freshman, scored the lone Wilkes goal with the help of Weiss, the team's leading scorer with 4 goals and one assist so far this season. Pitt. outshot the Lady Colonels 17 to 14, but goalie Valerie Frey saved ten. Against Bloomsburg, Frey blocked 9 more shots, but Wilkes could not come up with a score and was outshot by their hosts, 15 to 5. " It was an intense game," Meyers said. "The competition was super." OFF THE STICK : "The attacking combinationisbeginningtofallinto place, " Coach Meyers was happy to note. Before the Misery game, Meyers instituted a new formation into the Wilkes offense. Instead of using "links" that basically play in the midfield range, the Lady Colonels returned to the traditional 5-3-2 lineup . - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Groh, has recently been the recepient of a grant of over $1350 from the Mid-Atlantic States Arts Consortium. The Consortium is an organization of six mid-atlantic arts agencies with funding from the National Endowment for the Arts. It specifies that all monies given to cultural projects be used only to procure artists, not to be used for technical equipment or 1hanagement. The consortium usually gives between one half and one third of the cost of bringing an entertainer into a specific area . According to Groh, the funds "will assist us in bringing in an enriched cultural series." The Concert and Lecture Series programs selected to receive partial funding are the "Annapolis Brass Quartet" and the McCarter Theatre Company. The Concert and Lecture Series program includes the following: Dr. Jean Kilbourne, lecture/slide show on "The Naked Truth: Advertising's Image of Women" at 8 p.m.; October 27, Tony Montanaro, Mime at 7:30 p.m.; November 1, Duo-Pianists Joseph and Anthony Paatore at 7:30 p.m.; November 12, "The Annapolis Brass Quintet"; November 15, The American Songbook with William Bolcom and Joan Morris at 7:30 p.m.; March 2, "The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble" at 8 p .m.; March 18, "The Temple Trio" at 8 p.m. and on March 21 , "Arms and the Man" by the McCarter Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Al Groh noted that while Concert and Lecture tries to maintain a quality program, the Series itself is one of the few in or outside of the state to offer such a program at no charge to the public or student body. He cited the program of the University of Scranton which has 5 events on this year's program and which demands a $25 .00 general admission fee from the public and a $15.00 fee from students. Groh compared this to the Wilkes Concert and Lecture Series, which offers 8 events with no admission charge either for the public or students. Budgetary Allocations Delayed by John Finn Budgetary allocations for campus organizations funded by either the Student Activity fee or the Student Publications fund will be officially posted in the individual group accounts by the beginning of October, one month later than usual. The delay is attributed partly to "the peculiarity of the system" of bookkeeping used in Parrish Hall, and partly to late reports of final budget figures from the Student Government and the Student Publications Committee, according to Joseph Chisarick, Comptroller. Chisarick explained that under the system currently used in the Comptroller's office, the accounts Inside Book Return Policy p. 2 OPP p.4 IRHC President p. 6 A Modest Proposal p.8 are posted once at the beginning of each month. If a transaction occurs later in the month, it will not be posted on the account until the following month. In the case of the Student Activities fee , Student Government submitted the final budget distribution figures in early September, so the actual money will be deposited in those accounts in October. In the case of Student Publications, the Student Publications Committee is charged with the responsibility of distributing money allocated by the college to the Beacon, Amnicola, and Manuscript. This work is usually completed by the end of the preceding academic year. As of September 28, the committee had not reported the final figures to the comptrollers office. Until notification of the final budget distribution is received by the Comptroller, no accounts can be credited . Although some student organizations are running deficits for the first month of operation, Chisarick stated that "all pay requests have been honored because we know the money is there." The current bookkeepin g system, in use since 1973, is to be replaced in January. The new computer system, which has been installed but is not yet ready for operation, will allow accounts to be updated immediately following any transaction . The Concert and Lecture Series has been in existance since the early 1940's. Past Directors include . George Ralston, present Dean of Student Affairs at Wilkes. Al Groh, previous Director of the · Theatre, has been Director of the Series for the past 2-3 years. Groh noted that in addition to presenting the programs on their scheduled dates, he has received permission from the agency to work in conjunction with WVIATV to tape four programs for future viewing. The four programs are: The Annapolis Br!iSS Quintet, Bolcum and Morris, "The Temple Trio", and "The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble." He added that Carol Teitel was currently the understudy of Elizabeth Taylor in "Little Foxes" and could not adhere to the agreed-upon schedule of the Series. The Wilkes Concert and Lecture Series is funded by Student Government, The Mid-Atlantic Arts Consortium, and the Annette Evans Fund, and, as Groh stated, tries to "present programs that will appeal to various interests and disciplines." Alfred Groh, Cultural Affairs Director IApplications For Scholarship A11ailable I by John Finn Applications are now being accepted for the Harry S. Truman Scholarship, a national program that offers up to $20,000 for undergraduate and graduate work. Applicants must presently be sophomores .with at least a 3.0 cumulative average, but there are not restrictions according to major. Because the fund is intended to promote work in public service, applicants should be able to "in some way conceive of a career in public service," according to Dr. Robert Freysinger, professor of political science and director of the scholarship program at Wilkes. The scholarship is awarded to 80 college sophomores nationwide by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation. Recipients are award, ed up to $5,000 per year for two years of undergraduate and two yea rs of graduate school. The amount awarded may be less in some cases depending on the cost of tuition at individual institutions. Each school participating in the program is permitted to nominate a maximum of two students. In late October, Dr . Freysinger, Dr. Jean Driscoll, and Dean Gerald Hartdagenwill begin interviewing Wilkes applicants. Nominees are expected to submit a short essay, on future career goals and objectives, along with their transcripts and letters of recommendation to the Scholar- · ship Foundation at Princeton, New Jersey. Nominees from individual schools go on to several ·· rounds of interviews on regional and national levels, until the field is narrowed down to 80 finalists. Although this is one of the more popular national scholarship funds, only four Wilkes students applied last year, according to Freysinger.

The Beacon will be back, however, on Friday, October 16. �Page 2, The Beacon, October 2, 1981 Learning Center Opens In Kirby Book Store Director Explains Return Policy by Amy Elias During the past four weeks of classes many grumblings were heard on campus concerning book returns. Many students bought the books they needed for classes from the Bookstore, and then found the same books being sold by students at cheaper prices. Students who tried to return the Bookstore books were told, in many instances, that the books could not be returned, even though there were no markings in the books. Mildred Gittins, Manager of the Bookstore, explained why the book-return policy is now being enforced. "We, too, have to be protected," Ms . Gittins stated. "The book-return policy is stated clearly in the Student. Handbook, so that upperclassmen know the policy and have ample time to find used books before they buy new books." As printed in the Student Handbook, the Bookstore policy is as follows : All book sales are final. Refunds are given only: 1. if the course is cancelled; 2. if the student drops a course; 3. if a student changes sections, then books will be exchanged. Books submitted for exchange or refund must not be marked. A student must present to Bookstore personnel a current receipt and a drop slip. Refunds are permitted only during the first three weeks of each semeste.r. Ms. Gittins further explained why the return policy is so important. "When a student buys a book, that book is immediately put on a re-order list. The Bookstore is only allowed a certain percentage, 20 % , of returns by the publishing companies. When students return books to the Bookstore, and those books can't be returned to the publishing companies, the Bookstore is stuck with them." Ms. Gittins stated that in the long run, it is the student who pays for this through increased book prices. Most students, according to Gittins, adhere to the set procedures, and there are usually few problems that arise. Ms. Gittins also stated that Wilkes' procedures are comparableto,and often less stringent than, those of other local coHeges and universities, such as the University of Scranton and Marywood . "It's not that we don't want to help the students," commented Gittins. She further stated that , once an efficient policy is established, it is in the best interest of all students to follow that policy. the Writing Lab, notes that this will benefit both the students and the Lab . The Writing Lab will continue to operate as it has, but it will be able to expand its services. Dr . Heaman anticipates that the Lab, will be open more hours, and sees the possibility of acquiring new equipment. Beginning next summer, the Center will provide a summer program for people entering college. The program will be designed to help people who are underprepared or who have been away from school for several years reach a level where they will be able to take collegelevel courses. The program will deal with such areas as reading, writing, math, science, and study skills. This program, and all tutoring services offered by the Center, are provided for the students at no cost . - Debate Union Marks Mindpower Campaign 33rd Year With Trip Inuolues Colleges And To Com-p etition ~t Universities Nationwide Shippensburg State The Wilkes College Debate _Union will begin its 33rd year of competition this weekend as the members of "Kinney's Kids" travel to Shippensburg State College to participate in the annual Shippensburg Invitational Tournament.

Dr. Joseph Bellucci, who co-wrote the grant with Hsi-Ping Shao, Director of Grants and Research, urges students to utilize the Center. He noted that "having people who are capable of tutoring is of no value unless students use the service.'' Dr. Bellucci also encourages faculty members to refer students to the Center. It is expected that a tutor will be found for a student who requests help within 48 hours. As part of the effort to organize tutoring services, the Writing Lab has been coordinated into the Developmental Learning Center.

The Center is being funded by a U.S . Department of Education grant, under the Strengthening Developing Institutions Program . The Center is located in Kirby Hall . The purpose of the Center is to coordinate all the tutoring services available on campus, making them more accessible to the student. The Center provides tutoring for all students in all subjects. The tutoring is on individual and group baies, and is done by both professional and student tutors.

The theme of the campaign?"America's Energy is Mindpower." The "Mindpower" campaign, according to CASE, is a "grassroots effort involving all colleges and universities around the country, " in which each college and university is asked to make a statement on behalf of higher education at a time when it faces the important decade of the 1980's. The campaign seeks to remind the public of the value of higher education at a time when colleges and universities are experiencing decreased enrollments .

Bellucci said that the center will provide tutoring to any student on campus. The goal of the center is to accommodate a tutor for those requesting one within 48 hours. Bellucci added that the tutoring service is free and those students interested in becoming tutors are asked to apply. There are not restrictions as to blue or white card workers and minimum wage will be paid to the tutors. Another program of the Developmental Learning Center mentioned was the Institutional Research program which entails evaluating examinations given by Wilkes faculty members. The second reading for the Human Services Committee fund request was also made at the SC meeting. SC unanimously passed the motion to grant $150 to HSC to sponsor the Blood Donor Day scheduled for Friday, Nov. 6. A second reading was made by the Biological Society requesting $800 from SC to help defray the cost of attending a trip to the Asseteague and Chincateague Islands during Fall Break, Oct. 17-20. The motion was not passed because SC members felt the trip for 20 students was too expensive and would not benefit the entire college. Another reason for the failed motion was that the Biology Department offered no money in order to help fund the trip. In other business, President Ana Nunez announced the winners of the recent Replacement Elections. The newly elected members are: Class of 1981 secretary, Maureen Connolly; SC rep, Chris Lain; Class of 1982 - vice president, Chris Fellin; SC rep, Mark Radgiewicz . All candidates ran unopposed in the election. Also at the meeting, the first readings of two constitutions were made. The newly formed Martial Arts Club of Wilkes College and the Inter-Residence-Hall Council both submitted constitutions to be adopted -by Student Government. At next week's meeting, the constitutions will again be read and voted upon . Finally, the SC Publicity Committee Chairperson, Melissa Monahan, read the proposed Publicity Policy. The SC body then accepted the policy which allows publicity to be produced and · distributed concerning major events and meetings on campus. ..... Car-Pool Ref err al Service Ready To Begin Operation students according to proximity of their hometowns for the purpose of forming car-pools. Joe Knox, President of the CC, said, "Now we must let ·people know we have this service to offer." Gene · Chikowski, co-chairman of the 50th Anniversary Committee of SC, told Council members that plans are now being made for next year's observation of the college's birth. Chikowski reported that an organizational meeting will be held in mid-October, but now he is "looking for people to help out." Phil Goedeche is also cochairman of that committee. The council passed a fund request of $483.75 for the purchase of 43 tickets to the Eagles vs. Giants game on November 22 . The vote was by acclamation with one dissenting vote. The total cost of the planned trip will be $23.00 for a Martz bus and game ticket . The Council plans to break even on the event. Some members voiced concern that the seats will be in au 'obstructed view' section of the stadium and that few students may be able to afford the cost of the single event at that time of year. by John Finn The car-pool referral service has been set up and is now prepared for operation, according to Maurita Gries, Chairman of Commuter Council's Parking Committee. This new service is .designed to match commuter Council Members Vote To Adopt New Ammendment by Donna Nitka Inter-Residence- Hall Council members voted Sunday night to adopt an amendment to their constitution concerning representative power during emergencies. According to the amendment, if an IRHC quorum cannot gather within 24 hours, Student Government would have the power to decide IRHC matters. The amendment passed with one objection. Bart Bellairs, Director of the Intram urals Program, attended the meeting to encourage student par- ticipation in intramurais. He noted that most events are scheduled for Sundays so they will not interfere with students' studies. Planned intramural events include both men and women's flag football, chess, ping pong, volleyball, basketball, and pillow fighting. Bellair's goal is to have a dorm vs. dorm vs. co~mµter vs. faculty intramural tournament. He stated that anyone interested in intramurals should contact him. Hazing was the final topic discussed under new business. Most of the reps indicated that hazing should not be banned, but that it should be controlled and participation in it should be optional. IRHC president Bill Lourie stated that he will recommend the Freshman Follies to next year's council as an alternate to hazing . He noted that he plans to make revisions in the Follies to facilitate more commuter involvement. Further discussion on the topic of hazing was tabled until the next meeting. Knox pointed out, however, that "this is the only game still available this year; otherwise, there is only next year." Bill Lourie, IRHC President, announced that his council will open a new office on the second floor of the Student Center. The office will be located in the Pool room, but the Pool room will be located in the Cavern (basement of the Student Center). Tuclcer List• Neu, Student Center Hours Recently, Jay Tucker, assistant . director of Housing and Student Center coordinator, announced a change in the hours during which the Student Center will be open . The change has to do with extending the hours on weekends. The new hours are: Monday through Friday 9 a .m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 12 noon to llp.m. Tucker explained that he added the extra weekend hours because he felt that the students "should have a place to go at that time, r than their dorm rooms." ■----------1 Soft Contact Lenses I $129.00 I.

There is a disease, which last year reached epidemic proportions, and which is beginning to spread this year. This disease has no set period of incubation, no sex preferences, no noticeable symptoms, and the side effects are very unusual.The people who are afflicted are unharmed, and some may actually benefit, but the people who live with the infected individuals often suffer detrimental effects. What is thJ.s strange disease? It is called disrespect for personal property, or DPP for short. This is a malady of the mind, a psychological disease, which is unfortunately not covered in Psychology 101-102. The fundamental symptom is that the afflicted persons, after a period of time, believe that life in a residence hall is a form of ~-~ ■■■ ~■" communal living in which all property belongs to the community, i.e., the residence hall. Due to a lack of personal experience, I am not familiar with the prevalence of DPP in the men's residence halls; however, I know from firsthand experience that it can become rampant in the women's residence halls. Despite this lack of knowledge, my intuition tells me that many men will be able to relate to this problem. DPP can be classified with VD as a social disease, for it only affects those who come in contact with the carriers of the disease. In the early stages the disease is mild and can be easily cured, but in the later advanced stages the disease becomes almost uncontrollable and often, in some cases, incurable. The first sign of the disease is the use of a simple phrase, such as, "Can I borrow your typewriter?" by the possible carrier. This is not a sure sign, but it should put the owner on his or her guard. By consenting, the owner may be doing no wrong, but if one answers, "Sure, anytime," or a similar phrase, look out. If the borrower truly has the disease, he or she will begin to take advantage of the generous owner. The diseased person will eventually "borrow" the desired item whenever he or she pleases with or without the permission of the owner. · It eventually reaches the point where the owner has to turn the residence hall upside down to find his or her property. My personal property which was taken advantage of last year included the aforementioned typewriter, records, tapes, and my calculator.

All Wilkes students may receive two free tickets with their college identification. According to Jay Siegfried, Director of Theatre at Wilkes, the play has the delicate twilight atmosphere of time remembered, "truth in the pleasant guise of illusion . " The play blends psychological realism and lingering pathos in order to produce the irridescent mood of reminiscence. This particular production is unique in · that the script used is an original compilation of three different versions of the play. In addition, th e scene design is remarkable, if not shocking; in its evocation of "memory. " The cast consists of four actors and actresses . Veterans Chris Lonstrup and Diane Hartdagen will return to the stage this year as will newcomers, Freshman Theresa Fink and transfer student Roy Clark. Hartdagen commented that the production is "worthwhile .for everyone to see." She added that the play, as a serious drama, demands much from the actors .

Concert & Lecture Series Lourie Assumes Leadership Role Provides Quality Shows computer science. "My job now, as IRHC president, is a learning experience," said Lourie, and added that this position will "help to further leadership qualities for me." After graduation, Lourie can begin to put these qualities into practice as he tries to attain position concerned with computer applications in business. For the present, however, Bill Lourie is concerned with the task at hand, and that is to insure a productive year for this year's by Amy Elias Bill Lourie is a busy man these days. The Junior from Mount Holly, New Jersey, not only fills his time with studies in his computerscience major, but has chosen to hold one of the most timeconsuming positions for students on the Wilkes campus - that of IRHC President. Before running for the presidency, Bill entertained no extravagant notions about the job or his possible contributions to IRHC· he within the Council is one area in which Lourie will probably have no difficulty. "This year's Council, ihrough improved communicatiqn, is more enthusiastic than Councils of past years, " Lourie observed. Specific projects are already underway. One of these, the Vandalism Committee, is one in which Lourie takes a particular interest. The Vandalism Committee is, as Lourie puts it, "an awareness committee" which will be used to gain information about specific acts of vandalism and, using this information, to try to illustrate to the students that, as Lourie stated, "it's vandalism that largely contributes to the increases in their college costs." Another project underway is the formation of a Hall Presidents' Council. The plans for this Council are still tentative; however, Lourie stated that if the hall presidents would like to establish this Council, the Council would act as an advisory board to IRHC. The Council purpose would be to establish formal guidelines for hall elections and the functions of hall officers. Lourie feels that the potential on campus for student activities is high, and that many students could contribute greatly if they would only choose to do so. "There's enough out there to tap, " said Lourie, "but it has to be drawn out." Perhaps this year, IRHC and the other student government organizations can tap this student power source and revitalize the activities on campus with fresh ideas and outlooks. But for all this, Lourie is cautious. What advice would he offer to those who contemplate running for an office like IRHC? "Take things easy. Don't try to change everything overnight. A lot can be done, but things must be taken slowly." Wise words indeed; Lourie can, with such insight, look towards a year that will prove to be not only productive, but enjoyable as well .

A committee of faculty members chaired by Mr. Al Groh select the performances based on recommendations made by a committee composed "of students. "Anyone can join this committee," Student Chairman Stephen Badman, a junior English Literature major from Berkeley Heights, New Jersey, commented. "It's to the student's own benefit because he will have a say in what concerts and lectures are brought in. " The next performance of the Series will be presented on October 27 at 8 p .m . with the return engagement of world reknown mime Tony Montanaro . Montanaro, with the aid of his two assistants, imitates such things as animals and sports activities. He is currently appearing in Sweden. On November 1, at 7:30 p .m ., the series will present dual pianists Anthony and Joseph Paratore. Badman said that although he has never heard the pianists, he believes it will be an excellent performance because Mr. Chapline of the Wilkes Music, Department has said that the musicians are "Two of the finest pianists today." "The Annapolis Brass Quintet will perform at 8 p .m . on November 12. The quintet will be making its first appearance here at Wilkes . On November 15 at 7:30 .m.

The Smithsonian Jazz Ensemble will perform on March 2 at 8 p.m. Badman commented that these are "extremely talented mus1c1ans who tour the country, annually changing their form of music. On March 18, the series will present the Temple Trio at 8 p.m. This group will sing a selection of popular songs. The McCarter Theater will perform George Bernard Shaw's "Arms and the Man" on March 21. "This promises to be a great evening of theater," Badman said. Also in March , the performance postponed in September will be presented . This will be a performance of "The Faces of Love" by actress Carol Teitel. Her earlier performance had to be postponed because Teitel is the understudy for Elizabeth Taylor in "Little Foxes" and had to travel with the company to San Francisco. All performances of the Concert and Lecture Series will be in the Center for the Performing Arts. Badman commented, "Our Concert and Lecture Series at this college is one of the few in the nation that provides high quality performances free of charge.

Four years ago, Dave Levandouski enjoyed baseball and other sports, but his older brother was a runner. With a little taunting (maybe) and some good persuasior¼,(of course), his brother convinced him to "take my first steps out the door. " Dave has been running ever since, and he's good! A freshman engineering major from Danville, Pa ., Dave Levandouski has already been keeping pace with running great Ken Pascoe, also of Wilkes. Last week the two tied fo r first place on the tough course at Fairmont Park against Philadelphia Pharmacy Textile with the winning time of 28 :22 . Earlier this season, Dave took third -place against running stars Parsons of Delaware Valley and Awaya of Kings. In this race he went the five miles in 26 minutes and 52 seconds . Not bad for a freshman. Dave remembers the first time he started running. "It was horrible. I had no talent whatsoever. I hav~ to work for everything I get," he explained . Each week Dave runs for about sixty miles to keep up his distance base which improves both speed and endurance: "The sport takes up a Jot of my time . It's hard with my studies," he said . "I guess you've got to be disciplined. " He began to take running seriously when in high school. After a few road races, then a spot on the varsity team, Dave began to develop his ability under the direction of world-class runner Jeff Brandt, his school coach. "He taught me everything I know," Dave.explained . In high school, Dave lettered in both track and cross country for three years, and in his last two years at Danville High the cross country team won districts and went on to the state competition. ·1n his senior year he came out in 39th place in the state out of 250 entries. He has done exceptionally well • in the two marathons he has run . As a junior, he finished 20th out of 200 at the Penn State Marathon. The following year he finished 61st out of 3,500 finishers in the Maryland race . Dave is beginning his colleg~ career here at Wilkes under the direction of Bart Bellairs. Now Dave will have an opportunity to adjust to 't he tougher college competition . He explained, "He (Bellairs) is really enthusiastic about the sport. What does the future hold for Dave Levandouski? "I have to develop a little more," he explained . "I have to mature a little more Things improve with time, I hope." Dave is a young and talented runner who is a very welcome addition to Wilkes . He considers "chewing ice" his worst habit, and doesn't drink or smoke, but gets high on running. "I usually get it when I'm out in the wilderness . You're just experiencing all the things around you . . . it's like euphoria," he said. " It seems you can experience thin s much better." by Ellen Van Riper The field hockey team has had a tough time of it so far this season, as they have failed to come up with a victory in three games. On Sept. 17 the ladies opened the 1981 season with a home game against Elizabethtown College. The final score was 3-0, but the team played much better than the score indicated. Elizabethtown had 16 shots on goal and the Wilkes' ladies had 9, but the difference was that the Blue Jays were able to capitalize on their opportunities. The team next faced East Stroudsburg State College in a game played at East Stroudsburg on Sept. 24 . This game was more of a defensive struggl~, for the final score was 1-0 in favor of Largest Selection of Jeans and Corduroys in the Valley. by Chris DaRe On Saturday, Sept. 26, the Wilkes soccer team was defeated by FDU Madison 5-0. The defeat dropped the Colonels record to 0-3 for the '81 season . Coach Ernesto Lopez has to be disappointed with the record, but he must be puzzled with the futility of his team's offense to date. In the Colonels' first three games, they have yet to score a goal; they have been shut out by Scranton, Upsala, and now FDU, by a combined score of 18-0 . The three losses have been to very good teams, but the fact is the Colonels are having trouble mustering shots on goal, much Jess scoring goals . On the other side of the coin, the defense has been respectable. After surrendering ten goals in the opener against Scranton, the defense has only allowed eight goals in the last two encounters . Leading the defense is senior cocaptain Mike Brautigan. Mike leads the field with his steady play and all-out enthusiasm. Also playing well is goalie Mark Barsom.

Upsala walked into the gym like cattle strolling into a slaughterhouse. If Upsala knew what they were in for they probably would have forfeited. Wilkes met them with fury in their eyes;· victory was their ctt!stination. The first game was a no contest match from the start. The next two games would follow the same pattern . Upsala didn't know what hit them; their heads were still spinning when they boarded their bus home. Wilkes' spiking and serving machines kept cranking out point after point. Cathy Dudick had fourteen service aces and Jennifer Golding had 12. High scorers · for the match were Ellen Van Riper and Debbie Kramer with four kills apiece. Wilkes had no trouble winning the match. Upsala succumbed 15-1 ; 15-0; 15-1. On the following day Wilkes would meet the Lady Royals of the University of Scranton. Wilkes was really psyched and up for this game, and wanted to smear Scranton all over the court. In the first game it was a non-stop battle of the spikers. Tremendous hitting and blocking was what prevented Scranton from winning, and Wilkes beat them 15-13. The second game was an absolute field day for players Sally Fisher, Jennifer Golding, and Cathy Dudick . Sally had five kills, two service aces and four defensive saves, Jennifer had four kills and three service aces, and Cathy finished out the score card with three kills and seven aces at the serving line . Wilkes killed Scranton 15-6. The last three games were a fight to the finish . Wilkes lost its momentum and its coordination. Things really started looking bad for Wilkes; unfortunately Scranton walked all over them 15-9; 15-8 and 15-7. The match with King's can be · compared to a Blues Brothers movie or a comedy of errors. The whole match was an absolute joke. Wilkes massacred King's 15-1; 15-2 and 15-3. Upcoming games and tournaments for the Colonelettes are Juniata on October 3 & 4. On October 4 they face the women of FDU Madison, and on October 6 they go up against Delaware Valley. Jennifer Golding of Wilkes attempts a <link against King's. Colonels Massacred By .W arriors by Mark James The Colonels were massacer,d again on the gridiron last week after Wilkes traveled to Lycoming en route to a 35-0 embarrassment, their second loss in two games. Both teams went score-less for most of the first half, but Lycoming drew first blood through a 24 ya rd touchdown strike from Warrior quarterback Pete Waldron to receiver Mike Santoleri. Wilkes began to retaliate by mounting their first significant offensive threat of the game, but the Warrior defense circled quarterback Jerry Goss with enough pressure to force an interception. Lycoming's Mickey Pease jaunted 58 ya rds with the captured pass for the Warriors' second touchdown. The two-point conversion attempt failed, and the first half ended with Lyco on top, 13-0 . Once again the Colonels were stifled by a quick, and costly, bad break. In the opener against Upsala, a punt was blocked and recovered in the Wilkes endzone on the very first Colonel drive. Wilkes never took the lead. Last week, it was the interception that turned the flow against Wilkes. In the second half, Lycoming continued to put the game out of reach. The Warriors scored seven more points on a beautifuly executed 84-yard march in the third quarter, and in the fourth, Lycoming crossed the goal line two more times, winning the battle soundly. So far this season, Wilkes has given up 32 points in the final quarter while scoring only 6. The Colonel offense has yet to score a point in the first half, so by the time the game is over, the defense is worn out. "As long as we don't quit, I can't knock anybody; and that's the bottom line oil it," defensive coordinator Ed Lukas explained, adding that "we come back every Saturday." In two games, the Colonels have given up a total of 734 yards while gaining 226 yards, little of which was on the ground. Against Lycoming, the Colonels gained only 95 total yards; a meager 11 yards came through rushing gains. Coach Schmidt must pull his forces together within the next few games, or he may face his worst start in twenty seasons of coaching here. FIELD GOALS: Tony Popple had a 37.4 punting average in an amazing 11 punts. Two more punts and Wilkes would have tied the punts-per-game record. Mike Gould, Pat Walsh, and Don Sparks each intercepted passes, and on the receiving end, Ton y Madden hauled in two passes for a total of 65 yards. Jerry Goss started the game as quarterback, finishing with 3 completions out of 11 attempts for a total of 84 yards. Bill Rodgers came in at quarterback late in the game. In the Upsala contest, senior defensive tackle Dave Hadley suffered a fractured hand. Although the defense has a lot of depth, the Colonels are sure to miss the spirited play of number 75 . Last week's pick was on the money - Lycoming by a landslide, but this week, the Colonels may be able to show their stuff: Susquehanna 28 - Wilkes 20. bench by Ellen Van Riper . 'A Modest Proposal' WANTED - Men and women who are rowdy, a little crazy, who love to make lots of noise, who enjoy watching sporting events, and who are infected by Colonel fever to organize a fan support group which will attend all Wilkes College home athletic events and a few on the road (i.e., King's and Scranton). An organization of this nature should be nothing new to veteran Wilkes College sports fans, for last year a number of gentlemen from Gore Hall formed a group which attended all home men's basketball and wrestling matches and also those road games mentioned above. This is a move in the right direction, but it is not enough. What Wilkes needs is this kind of fan support consistently during all seasons and for both men's and women's sports. Obviously this is a lot to ask, but it can be done. The key is organization-and planning. If enough members join, a schedule can be set up to alternate the attendance responsibility for each person. For instance, if there are four home games during the week, one group of ten different people can attend each one. The way to decide who will go to each game can be based upon sport preference, class schedule, committments to other activities, and the amount of free time ·e ach individual has available. Surely nobody will have the same time schedule, so there should be ample attendance at each home event. Of course, some sports are not as popular as others, but the participants still need fan support, so perhaps the leader of the group could distribute the attendance on an equal basis to each member. In addition, some teams are not as successful as others, but remember that the athletes are still out there giving it their all, so these teams deserve support also . Sufficient fan support can perhaps help a team win a game which under different circumstances it would have lost . Sometimes cheering fans are the magic which pull victory from the jaws of defeat. Fan support gets the adrenalin pumping in each athlete, and they can not help but perform better. Without cheering fans there would not be any miracle baskets, touchdowns, or homeruns. In other words, team,; would not be as successful without fans cheering wildly for them . Once the group is organized it has to have a name. This is very important, for the group must be identifiable and recognized. Also, having a name ":'ill make the organization more permanent, and perhaps, with time, a fixture at Wilkes. In the beginning the group can carry a sign with the name on it, but as time p~sses and recognition is established the group can have T-shirts or sweatshirts made up with the name on them. This project can be funded by a money-raising project or by the students themselves. Now a note on the games themselves . Here is where th e required qualities such as rowdiness and craziness loom large. The group must sit together in the stands; this way they can not help but be noticed . In order to further distinguish the group, there must be signs, special and unique cheers, and lots and lots of noise. Wheiiever a Wilkes team scores or does something special everybody should know about it. Also, whenever possible'the group should make an effort to get the other spectators to join in the cheers. This will get everybody involved and will definitely increase the noise level. The games are the most important part of this plan , and the imaginations and ingenuity of the members will develop other cheering activities. This is fine and is greatly encouraged, but it must be stressed that all activities remain in the areas of good sportsmanship and good conduct. Since this will be an organized group, high standards of quality must be established and adhered to. The impact of such a group upon the college can be tremendous . By attending the games and showing such enthusiasm for the blue and gold, this group could significantly increase attendance . The spirit and enthusiasm of the group could eventually infect the entire student body. Maybe someday the gymnasium and Ralston Field will have capacity crowds for each and every athletic contest. This proposed plan is perhaps little more than a pipe dream , but with dedication and effort it can become a reality. Such a group called "The Nest" already exists at King's College. However, I think that Wilkes could develop a group whic_h is even better and more supportive. At ·1e~st, wouldn't it be fun to try? r . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Non-profit organization U.S. Postage Paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, Pa. 18766 Professor Refuses To Move •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••.•••••••••••••••• ~ •••••••••• Students Unhappy With Crowded Classroom by Mary Kay Pogar The number of students in a class varies from one course to another; in one class, the1e may be three students, while in another there may be 150. In Economics 231, Applied General Statistics, there are 128 students in lecture. This number would not be significant, were it not for the size of the room in which lectures are given. A large number of the students in the statistics course have complained that the room, Parrish 56, is inadequate for a class of that size. As one student remarked, "It's not exactly conducive to learning. It's too crowded ." The counseling deans have noted that the students in the course are unhappy with t he situation. The deans further note that while there have been no complaints about Dr. H owar d Williams, the professor who teaches the course,. or about the material, few are satisfied with the class because it is toocrowded . According to one dean, "This situation is not something to which the students are accustomed ." Considered by many business majors to be one of the most difficu lt courses in their curriculum , the statistics course consists of three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Lee- tures are given in Parrish 56, where the tablet armchairs are arranged in rows of chairs 12-13 across and 10 rows long. Dr. Williams uses the blackboard during the lecture, but he insists, ''I'd rather th.a t the students listened to what I'm saying rather than trying to see what I'm writing on the board." He also notes that he does not write on the lower half of the board, so that students in the back of the room do not have to strain to see what he has written. Some students maintain, however, that they still cannot see the board . Students in statistics must attend lab two hours every week. In lab, students have the opportunity to gain practical experience by using the calculators and machines available. Last year, there were three lab sections for the class of 90. One extra lab section has been added this year fo r the 128 students. As a result, the labs are slightly more crowded than they have been in the past . One student remarked to a dean, "Lab is a zoo. There's no individual attention ." Recognizing that Parrish 56 might be inadequate for a class of that size, Doris Barker, Registrar, informed Dr . Williams that room 101 in the Stark Learning Center is available during the time period in which Economics 231 is scheduled . '}'hen asked· whether he had considered using room 101 for the class, Dr. Williams stated, 'Tm not moving." He feels that "It is not critical to move. There is not an adequate reason for moving the class to 101. It's not that bad ." He notes that a few years ago, when he taught the class in Parrish 33, some students had to stand fo r the fi rst two weeks of class because there were not enough seats. The statistics professor also pointed out that in almost any classroom the students use the tablet armchairs, so they would have the same area of space on which to write as they would in any other room. The main difference would be in the distance between seats. Dr. Williams states, "What difference does it make if yo ur neighbor is eight inches away or a foot and a half away?" Dr. Williams is aware of the complaints which some students have made about the class. But he notes that "The drop rate is less than in other years." One of the counseling deans noted that the drop rate for the statistics course is not very high since the students who take the course are juniors or seniors who need the course to graduate, and who can not afford to drop it without jeopardizing their chance to graduate on time, RUBBING ELBOWS Students in Economics 231 , General Statistics, literally rub elbows in Parrish 56, the lectu re room fo r the course. Nearly 130 students crowd into this room three timesa week fo r a statistics lecture. since business majors have a "very tight schedule ." Complaints about the crowded conditions in Economics 231 will probably continue throughout the semester. Dr. Williams seems to have no intention of moving the class to 101, so students in the course will have to learn to tolerate the situation. Some have begun to resign themselves to the class and the room in which it is taught. As one student remarked, "It's not that bad, but it gets kind of hot in there.It would be better if it was in 101. " Beware: Do you dare enter "The Cavern"?

Annual Campus Event Since Early Years--------------------- 'Hazing' Continues Long Tradition At Wilkes by Mary Kay Pogar Anyone who ate dinner in the cafe during the first week of school was treated to the sometimes amusing sight of new students in bizarre outfits eating their evening meal in an equally bizarre ma nner. Anyo ne who lived in or FRESHMAN INITIATION - The freshmen in this scene from 1961 ·e shown in the required initiation costume: Wilkes <links and blue and ' ties. Since 1961, freshman initiation has changed in format. but not ~~e. around a residence hall that week could not ignore the rousing activities associated with the practice of new student initiation. Drenching the new students with gallons of water, dressing ' them in as. few articles of clothing as possible without being arrested, and instructing them to ask resident hall students of the opposite sex for personal items, are just a few of the activities that have been a part of the initiation program for the past several years. But another dimension has been added in recent years: strong warnings from various members of the administration that freshman initiation, or hazing, as it is frequently called, will be strictly forbidden on the Wilkes campus. Such warn[ngs are not entirely new . An article in the September 18, 1970 issue of the Beacon reports that hazing would be outlawed on campus since it had failed in its purpose to "bring the freshmen together," but seemed tu perpetuate "reminders of ,class distinction" instead. In addition, some of the upperclassmen had "compelled freshmen to remove the private property of neighbors in the community." Obviously, hazing has not ceased, even though some of the problems cited in 1970 still occur. . Freshman initiation at Wilkes goes back farther than 1970 . Hazing has been part of the social life at Wilkes almost since the school first opened . According to George Ralston, Dean of Student' Affairs, initiation had its start about 1946 when Wilkes students, about 70 % of whom were WW II veterans, wanted to start school traditions and create school spirit. Student Government enacted the suggestions made by the students and Dean Ralston, and an organized program of initiation began. During the entire period of initiation, which could last from the middle of September to the first week or more of October, fres hmen were required to wear large identification tags with their name, major and hometown printed on it. They also wore <links, blue caps that resembled beanies. The men had blue and gold striped ties, while the women ca_rried Wilkes pennants and could wear makeup only on the right side of the face. Upperclassmen could stop a freshman any time during hazing and demand that he or she light a cigarette, recite the alma mater or sing the drinking song. At the end of the hazing period, the lettermen held a · mock tribunal, with one letterman serving as Chief Executioner. At the tribunal, freshmen who had failed to respond correctly to an upperclassman's request during hazing was tried and given a punishment. The punishment was mild ; . it may have only involved reciting or singing the drinking song in front of the entire assembly.

The new equipment includes an Ampro Broadcast Console, turntables, monitors, and a cart machine. According to Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services, the main reason the station bought the new equipment is because the old equipment was "worn out ." Kinney explained that the old equipment was army surplus, and was 17 years old. He went on to say that because of the amount of new people that join the station each year, the condition of in studio B, the production studio. "With the new equipment, we now have the ability to switch from studio A to B for live news reports from our news department, pretty much like commercial stations do," commented Ray. WCLH got its start ten years ago. In the beginning it was considered "just an extracurricular activity," commented Kinney, and no one really took it seriously. Under the guidance of Thomas Beck, advisor to the radio station at that time, the station grew and became a corporation. Kinney stated, "If you look at WCLH today, it's a big business. He have now tied into the academic program .'' He went on to say that the broadcast production class is producing a 30 to 60 minute show that will possibly be aired over WCLH. Some of the bad elements, such as the theft of records, have also been eliminated. Ray explained that Music Director Jim Groblesky has instituted a program that enables the staff to check up on the records . WCLH boasts of offering the widest variety of music, news, features and sports of any college station in this area. The station reaches over a sixty mile radius, and broadcasts seven days a week, 18 hours per day. "It's not a game," Kinney stated . Ray agreed, commenting that the members of WCLH "don't just learn radio . They learn committment, responsibility and management.'' Both Kinney and Ray agree that the station has progressed into . the equipment deteriorated. Starting this semester, however, steps have been taken to maintain the quality of the equipment. Station Manager Stan Ray will train and test each new member. Each will be required to pass a written test, and demonstrate his ability to work the control board . Before a new member gets his own show, he must be apprenticed . That is, he will be assigned to a full time disc jockey in order to learn how to operate the board. DJ's must also check the condition of the equipment before and after each show, and fill out a checklist to note any problems. The old equipment was installed Hazing Has Long History Continued f~om page 1 In the mid-1950's, most of the veterans and older students had graduated and hazing fell into the hands of younger students, who had come to college immediately after high school. At this point, initiation became less effective, and more violations occured, according to Dean Ralston. But it was not until the 60's that freshman requirements were abandoned. In 1968, a policy to protect the freshmen was enforced. According to this policy, a freshman who was forced to do anything degrading could file a complaint with student government against the upperclassmen, or even prosecute the student . After this policy was started, freshman initiation was outlawed, and the practices went underground. The individual residence halls then took over the responsibility of initiating freshmen at the college. Initiation is still in the hands of residence hall members. Although each group differs in the particular aspects of hazing, some common factors remain . Every residence hall takes its freshmen to the cafe in unusual fashions . Togas are popular articles of clothing for initiation as are nightgowns or pajamas. Later in the evening, the freshmen continue their initiation by visiting dorms on campus and asking for personal items or singing songs with lyrics that won't be printed here. Some freshm en are required to play Simon Says, others must try to build a body pyramid with baby oil smeared on their backs. Whenever a group of freshmen leave a residence hall, they are showered with several gallons of water from the roof or balcony of the hall. These activities may seem harmless, but some m_ay pro__ye em- barrassing or degrading for some students. In addition, there is significant social pressure to participate in initiation, although this year, R.A.'s were encouraged to inform the new students that they were not required to take part in initiation if felt they should not. Few students choose to avoid initiation; most tolerate it .andmany enjoy it. Many of the new students believe that the activities help them to meet people and learn about campus life at Wilkes . Deans Lampe, Ralston and Hoover agree that initiation does not have to be a negative or disappointing experience, as long as the situation can be controlled. . However, all three also agree that much of the control is now gone. Housing Directors Paul and Jean Adams support the deans on ·this point, and believe that initiation, if it is controlled, can be continued. No decision has yet been made concerning the possibility of banning initiation from campus, but Dean Ralston states that the student leaders will get together withthe deans to decide if it should be permitted at all. If the student leaders decide to continue initiation , controls will have to be devised or Wilkes may soon see an end to all freshman initiation .

Myers mentioned that federal student assistance programs are in grave danger of being substantially reduced. He, therefore, noted the importance of student action to prevent any further financial aid reduction. All Wilkes students are urged to write to their respective Representatives because they have the final say on this issue. For more information concerning the matter, contact Richard Myers at 824-4651, Ext. 349. Three fund requests' were also made at the meeting. The first reading was made by Chris Lain and Mario Silvestri representing the Human Services Club. They requested $150 for the Blood· Donor Day scheduled for Oct . 29 . Another reading for a fund request was made by Bev Rotherey for the Biological Society. The organization asked for $800 from SC to help subsidize a field trip to the Asseteague and Chincateague r---------, Islands .

Un•■ccess/ul In Atte•pt To Reduce Park& Loclr Price• by John Finn The attempts last week by Joe Knox, CC President, to obtain a price reduction for student discount stickers for the Park & Lock South complex were unsuccessful._ The stickers will be $14 .00 per 20 for at least the next two months . In two months Knox will again talk to Luther Bracknell, the city's direc tor of public parking facilities, and attempt to lower the price. An effective solution to most students' parking problems was offered Monday night by Clayton Bloomsburg, the marketing manager for L .C .T.A. His message was simple: ride the bus. Bloomsburg discussed the advantages of riding the bus, and shared the statistics of the LCTA's recent surveys on what he called "the Bottom line": saving dollars. According to the survey, in many cases, depending upon the distance travelled, students can save up to $90 or $100 each month by riding the bus to school instead of driving. The Council also voted unanimously to support housing alternatives proposed by IRHC .

The results of the hearings indicate that the outlook for students in need of financial assistance to continue school is bleak. The committee voted to appropriate 2.37 billion dollars towards the Pell Grant Program. However, this is far short of ""the 2. 65 billion dollars that was budgeted for this program. Should this amount be approved by Congress, many students will suffer from the cutback next fall. For the N.D .S.L. program, the committee voted to appropriate 186 million dollars of the 286 million for which it was originally budgeted. Failure to increase this amount will force thousands of students out of this program. Also, the committee voted to appropriate 215 million dollars for the S.E.O.G. program, an overwhelming decrease from the 370 million dollars originally budgeted for it. The total amount of which all the federal aid programs were reduced in the subcommittee hearing is 581.8 million dollars. Should these figures be adopted, many students will be unable to continue in college. Now is the time to let your representatives in Washington know you r dissatisfaction with these appropriations. COPUS, the Coalition of Independent College and University Students, is concerned about these cuts and is starting a major letter -writing campaign to representatives. You, as a student, must get involved in this campaign. Write a letter to your representative. Let him know that these appropriations will be devastating to students. Even if you are a senior, or have no need of financial assistance, remember that 83 % of Wilkes students receive some type of financial aid, and they need your voice to make their stronger. If you are unsure about the format of the letter, stop in at the COPUS office on the second floor of the Student Center. The directors of COPUS have sample letters available which can be used as a guide in writing your own letters. COPUS also has a list of congressmen and senators, so that if you are not sure who your representative is, COPUS will tell you to whom you should write. Finally, COPUS will even send your letter out for you. Just bring it to the COPUS office and they will take care of it. If you have any further questions about COPUS or the most recent budget cuts in student financial aid, visit the COPUS office, or call them at Ext. 349. Time is running out and your voice is desperately needed. (Our thanks to COPUS for most o.f the information in this editorial.) Columbus Day Great Race Will Utilize Susquehanna,Facilities Many communities use the Susquehanna River for all types of recreational activities. Labor Day is a day of more activity on the river than perhaps any other day of the year. Communities such as Lock Haven, Harrisburg, and Williamsport plan their Labor Day festivities around events on the river in their areas . In Wilkes-Barre, on Labor Day, the river is not used for any planned activity. However, on October 11, 1981, Columbus Day looks like an exciting day based around the Susquehanna. The Greater Wilkes-Barre Chamber of Commerce, in conjunction with the Northeast Pennsylva nia Environmental Council, will sponsor the first Annual Columbus Day Great Race. The Columbus Day Event is actually a triathalon, or relay, featuring running, bicycling, and canoeing activities. Four-person teams consisting of one runner, one · cyclist and two canoeists will compete in the race. The teams are divided into male, female and mixed categories of ages 16-29, and 30 and over. Age groups are determined by the average team age. A five-mile running race around Kirby Park will start the first leg of the triathalon. After the runner finishes the five-mile jaunt, a wrist band is passed to the cyclist, who will pedal from the park upriver to West Pittston, where the final leg of the Great Race will begin. The canoeists, after receiving the wrist bands, will paddle down the Susquehanna River to the finish line at Kirby Park. Each participant will receive a T-shirt with the triathalon logo printed on it, as well as trophies being awarded to winning teams in each division. Many local clubs and groups ·are serving as aides or consultants to the "Great Race": The Wyoming Valley Striders, Wyoming Valley Bike Club , Scranton Kayak Club, Murgas Amateur Radio Club and the Susquehanna River Basin Association . Falcone Beverage of Pittston is sponsoring the race. I urge you to support this event, whether you and your friends. or family enter to race or have a fun day together, or even if you come to the river's · shores and cheer the canoeists along their way down river. These types of activities involve many people from all communities and will help to make our area a more exciting and £unfilled place to live. · Applications are available at the Susquehanna · River Basin Association office at 165 South Franklin Street, Wilkes-Barre.

George Ahearn (717) 286-6662 and his family traveled to Porto, Portugal. The purpose of the award is to better relationships between the Portuguese and Americans. Larsen said that a person gets a different perspective when he lives in a country, as opposed to someone who just passes through. He attended school while he was there, although he took no courses for credit. He belonged to the school's choir and traveled with them when they went on tour to the countryside, staying one night in a building which he says is the closest he'll ever get to a haunted-house. Larsen said he made many friends aside from the Portuguese students. He was surprised at how many Poles were staying in Portugal. He commented that it was very hard to realize that these people were on the opposite side of the political fence. He also met people as he traveled through Europe. His family 's trip took him to Switzerland, Italy, the Vatican, Austria, France, and Spain. He has many adventures to share about his travels, including a bullfight and an occassion when Spanish police held him and his father at gunpoint because the police thought they were revolutionaries. Larsen's trip to Portugal was not only a great experience but also served to motivate him to write again. He had stopped writing while in college but began writing again while in Portugal. He had attempted a short .story as a freshman; he worked on a longer story while in Portugal. He has since continued writing and is in the Creative Writing class this semester . Larsen is carrying 20.5 credits although 3 of those credits are audited. He is a member of Cue 'N Curtain, lntervarsity Fellowship , the Physics, Chemistry , and Engineering clubs, the Wilkes C?llege Choir and the Manuscnpt Society. He also appeared in one of the four one-act plays written by Dr. O'Neill this past week . Larsen is an active student with varied interests. He is always willing to share his adventures in Europe as well as any experiences he has had. I could tell that he likes sharing with people . He is certainlv an asset to our campus. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••• WANTED TRAVEL REPRESENTATIVE $$$ HIGH EARNINGS$$$ FREE TRAVEL BENEFITS National Travel and Marketing Company seeks assertive, highly motivated individual to represent its collegiate travel vacation programs on ·campus.

Nehring predicted, only after she has become adjusted to the new posi, tion and surroundin gs. One change she would like to initiate concerns ethics courses . Nehring stated that medical ethics courses at Wilkes have traditionally been taught by the Philosophy Department. The courses, she has learned, are always filled and continue to remain popular with students . But Nehring sees the need of a course which deals with practical ethics. "Medical ethics are not what I mean by health-care ethics," she stated . She explained that not all situations which arise ' in hospitals are dramatic or crisisproportioned, and that future nurses must be shewn the practical sides of the ethics questions . Nehring is positive that such a course will be offered in the future. Dr .

This recognition is bestowed upon on athlete who, in the opinion of the sports department, has excelled the most in the area of athletics during the previous week. The first recipient of the 1981-82 year is Jennifer Golding of the women's volleyball team. Jennifer is a freshman biology major from Valparaiso, Ind . She decided to come to Wilkes because it was a small college which offered an Air Force ROTC program. Coach Saracino can thank that organization, for Jennifer has already proven to be an "allaround, disciplined player who knows the game" and a valuable addition to the team. Last Thursday, Sept. 17, the SPORTS EVENTS September 26 Soccer vs. FDU Madison at RSalstonbFiel23 d (2 :00). eptem er Soccer verses Baptist Bible at R ls F . Id (3·30) a ton ie · · team opened its 1981 season against Elizabethtown College. The match was well played by both teams, and Wilkes unfortunately was defeated 3-2. During the match, Jennifer's play could best be described as consistent, for she served ten aces, recorded two kills, and amazingly only committed one error. This was a spectacular accomplishment, but she achieved it in her usual low-key, steady manner. Jennifer is a rather quiet person who lets her actions speak for her. As a matter of fact, the only emotion she displays on the court is when she spikes, for then she becomes a demon. Like the rest of us she does, however, liave her own unique idiosyncracy. It could be called an expression of her personality, for she wears an abnormally large wardrobe to practice. Everyday she comes to practice wearing a sweatshirt big enough for · a person three times her size and shorts which hang down to her knees. She says that they are more comfortable, but the team thinks that slie is weird and a bit superstitious, and she is affectionately known as "Bags" and "Droopy Drawers". The season is still young, but Jennifer already believes that this year's team will be successful. If she keeps playing the way she has been, the team cannot help but to find suc◊-ess in 1981 and perhaps an MAC bid. September 29 Women's Volleyball vs . Dickenson at the Gym (6:30).

The opponents that day were the Bluejays of Elizabethtown. With the very first serve of the game, everyone present knew it would prove to be a fast-paced and action-packed match. Non-stop sets and powerful kills helped Wilkes to win the first game 15-12. In the second and third games Wilkes lost some of it s team coordination and communication. Although the offensive attack was still very much alive, the defensive wall began to crumble. Wilkes couldn't find a brick-layer fast enough; inevitably they were defeated 15-12 and 16-14. At the sound of the buzzer, signaling the start of the fourth game, the Lady Colonels became relentless aggressors. With their awesome scoring drive le.d by hitters Ellen Doty, Sally Fisher, Jen- nifer Golding and Ellen Van Riper, the Colonelttes clipped the Bluejays · wings with .a score of 15-10. In the fifth and final game of the match, both the offensive and defensive machines lost their momentum. Service, blocking and hitting errors prevented Wilkes from capturing the match. Elizabethtown walked away the victors, with a score of 15-9. Although the Lady Colonels were defeated, statistically the women did much better than their opponents. Total team kills were twenty-one compared to nineteen for E-town. Service aces totaled thiryt-eight for Wilkes and twentyeight for E-town. On the individual level, high scorers for the Colonelettes were Ellen Van Riper and Cathy Dudick with six points apiece. Jennifer Golding and DebDie Kramer had ten service aces and Cathy Dud4ck had seven. Soccer Tea1& Kicks Off Season With 2 Lo•••• by Mike Brautigan On Wednesday, September 16, the Wilkes- College soccer team opened up their regular season play against perennial powerhouse Scranton University. By midway through the first half, Scranton had outplayed the Wilkes team by putting constant pressure on the Colonel goal. At the end of the first half, Scranton led Wilkes 2-0, scoring both goals on Colonel defensive mistakes . The second half of the game was a DECKOU R'S BEER Across from Bishop Hoban Ph. 822-7045 -Imported...,.__ -Colcl .....Callln Advance fot Kegs and Quartet's (Must have LCB Card) fiasco for the Wilkes team. The Colonels could not gen~rate any offensive pressure on the Scranton goal; and they could not contain Scranton's strikes . The Royals scored eight more goals at will, devouring the Colonels 10-0 . This was a low ebb for the Wilkes soccer team. Assistant coach Kelly Noseworthy, former MAC soccer standout, commented on t,he play of the Colonels: "We have a young team which is inexperienced; and we basically are in a rebuilding season. Losing to Scranton 10-0 does not surprise me because they are nationally ranked, but I think we could have made a better showing." On Saturday, September 19, the Colonels took their game down Interstate 80 to play Upsala. The Wilkes squad showed signs of im. provement and more team play in this game. After a 3-0 loss to Upsala, don't write the Colonels off this early in the season. What the Wilkes team lacks is a more formidable offense that can take some of the pressure .off the defense. Without an aggressive offense, the team is forced to play catch-up soccer. The Colonels' next game is on Saturday, September 26, against F.D.U. Madison Upcoming games for the Colonelettes include a big match with their cross-town rivals, King's College, on Friday, Sept. 25th . On Tuesday, Sept. 29th, they face Dickinson College. Intramural• Begin Soon by Ellen Van Riper This year's intramural program is being run by new cross country coach Bart Bellairs, and it promises to be uniquely different from programs of past years. This new program is specifically designed for the non-athlete and stresses fun activities. Right now there are men's and women's flag football teams, men's and women's tennis, and on Sunday there will be a frisbee golf tournament at Kirby. The majority of the activities are being held during activity periods and on Sunday afternoons. Even though the program has already started, it is not too late to sign up. There are sheets posted at the gym and at Weckesser Annex. Nobody will be able to participate unless they have signed up beforehand . Coach Bellairs stressed that the program is for all college students, and that he is willing to listen to suggestions. This fall he plans to add some other activities to the program, such as an iron man and iron woman competition in which each participant must complete a course which includes running, swimming, and bicycling. The winter program tentatively includes basketball, volleyball, inter-dorm chess and pool competition, table tennis, and bowling. The tentative spring program includes two rather unique activities, mud-wrestling and a crazy-man run, and a more "sane" softball program. The program is still being refined and more activities and events will be added, but it already looks as if it will be fun for everybody, commuters and dorm students alike, and will have an event to please just about anyone.

The Colonels hosted two powerful, ex. perienced teams, Kings' and Delaware Valley, and went down in defeat 32-25 and 32-24 . Coach Bellairs was a bit disappointed that his team did not win, but he was more pleased by the members' overall performance. Freshman Dave Levandoski was the top Wilkes runner, placing third in the meet overall. Coach Bellairs said that he is looking forward to ·big performances by his freshman runner. He feels that Dave has the potential to place in this year's MAC championships, and perhaps win it in the future. The other top runner was senior captain Ken Pascoe who has been a consistently good runner throughout his career at Wilkes. Bellairs pointed out that of the ten men on his roster, seven are first year runners, so he anticipated a stiff challenge from both Kings' and Delaware Valley which have veteran teams. Dela ware Valley ran the meet much as he expected, _but Bellairs was surprised by the strong showing of Kings'. He would have naturally liked to have won, but Bellairs stressed that it is important for the runners not to peak before November and the MAC's. All teams go to the championships, so he feels that it will be more important to win later on in the season. This week Bellairs will welcome back two injured runners as the team faces Scranton , Kings', and Muhlenberg in an away meet on Friday, Sept. 30 . by Mark James Last week Ralston Field was invaded by the Vikings - the Upsala Vikings, that is. In Wilkes' very firs t possession, th e Yi kes plundered through the Wilkes line, blocking and recovering a punt in the Colonel endzone. By the time their attack was over, Upsala had walked away with a 41 to 19 victory, their second win. For the Colonels, it was opening day. Upsala got the .ball first, but didn't go anywhere after Mike Gould intercepted his fi rst of two passes. Wilkes took over control of the pigskin and went nowhere. Then the punt was blocked; the tide had turned to Upsala, and Wilkes failed to score in the fi rst half. "Something like that tu rns the emotional tide," coach Schmidt explained . "You have highs and you have lows." The Colonels were unable to score, and fou nd themselves behind at halftime, 17-0. When the second half began, it was the Colonels turn to get high, at least momentarily. The Colonels charged onto the field and back into the game. Both teams failed to mount a serious threat in the first sets of downs. Wilkes fumbled the ball away first, but Upsala could hot capitalize on the play. The Colonel,s got the ball back, but Upsala intercepted, and it looked like Upsala was going to continue their conquest . SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES SIDELINES by Mark James So we lost. We'll lose again. So what's the big deal? Sure, nobody likes a loser; and if the Wilkes sports keep losing, ·t he fans will be :mre to shy away from Ralston rield or the gym. Then the Beacon ::.ports Department could print boring lengthy editorials about the ecstacy of sport and wny we should feel guilty about not going to the game. Don't go. The hell with it! Make yourselves useft1l. Study. Get a job. Volunteer time to the nonprofit organization of your choice. But what about your friends? The guys and girls in your dorm or neighborhood chose to compete on the Wilkes sports teams because they enjoy playing. It's not for glo ry, it's for fun. Our teams lose With a second and four horn midfield, the Wilkes defense introduced itself to the Upsala quarterback. On a passing play, the Colonels managed to break into the backfield and pressure the Viking quarterback. He got rid of the ball in time, but Pat Walsh was there to haul in the errant throw and romp 53 yards fo r Wilkes first touchdown. The emotional tide coach Schmidt had talked about began to turn in the Colonels' favor. With the score now 17-7, Wilkes kicked off to the Vikings . and on the return, produced a fumble. With the offense deep in Viking territory, there was no way Wilkes couldn't score, and in a couple plays Todd Horn crossed the goaline from two yards out. Suddenly, it was a ballgame. Wilkes missed the extra point attempt . The score: Upsala 17 - Wilkes 13. For the rest of the game, The Colonels would never get closer . Up sala sco r ed th ree m o r e touchdowns before Wilkes managed to score their last· touchdown of the game. After a pass interference play gave Wilkes good field position, quarterback Jerry Goss went to the big man, Tony Madden , who made an over-the-shoulder grab from 22 yards out to finish the scoring for the Colonels, An attempt for a two point conversion failed . The Colonels lost . Now what? "Work harder," Coach Schmidt answered . "See where our major Whoarethe real losers? / The athletes or the fans? too often to be glorified, but every time they step on a fie ld they are, in a sense, winning. They're winning because they are doing something they like to do. They're trying, and improving. They are becoming better individuals for their efforts. This is the real score. If you don't want to go· to the games, don't go . You are not obligated to see one single game. Who cares? The players care. The guy in your engineering lab or the girl that sits next to you in Econ . care. With or without fan support they will persevere. They love sports. They'll enjoy each game because it means a lot to them . It makes one wonder. Who are the real losers? The athletes? Or the fans? Nobody has to o to the Wilkes sporting events. Not even the athletes. They do it by choice. Why does a team have to win to get fan support?So wh~t if we lose! The athletes have a good time. They take the good with the bad, the wins with the losses . If Wilkes students could show the same kind of good sportsmanship that the athletes show, they would be much better off. Going to Wilkes' sporting events is · not some sort of chore. It's a good time! It's a cheap date, a time out with the boys (or girls), a chance to scream and yell and even complain when we lose. Nobody has to go to Wilkes' sporting events, but it wouldn't hurt trying. There's nothing wrong with checking out a game or two every now and then. It's a good time. deficiencies are and try to correct them." It was a tough loss to a team that had already beaten powerhouse Trenton State last week. Upsala is a much improved team and both victories were very impressive. Next week, Wilkes will take on Lycoming in Williamsport. The Warriors have 31 lettermen returning from last year's very successful 9 and 1 season. Last week, Lycoming lost a close one to Susquehanna, the Colonels third rival this year. FIELD GOALS: All three quarterbacks did get some playing time for Wilkes. Jerry Goss was the most successful in the aerial department, completing three of ten for 44 yards. Lonstein completed one of nine for- six yards; and Rodgers completed 2 out of 2 in the fi nal seconds for 37 yards. George Simms was impressive in the rushing department with a total ol 42 yards, but he didn't match the perfo rmance of Upsala's Dave D'Andrea, who covered 121 yards. · Statistically, Upsala had a total of 16 first downs, while getting 166 yards on the ground and another 143 yards in the air. Wilkes managed to get 6 first downs and 131 yards overall. Last week, Wilkes was the pick, 17-7. This week's pick: Lycoming by a landslide. Let's all hope this pick is as off target as last week's. The Cavern is coming! The Cavern is coming! Going to an athletic event is not a sacrifice. Students go to the games because they care about their frien ds on the teams, their school and themselves. The anticipation, the laughter, the cheers, the joy and suspense - it creates a sort of pofarity between the team and the fans. It brings about togetherness, belonging, and caring. The best part of going to the Wilkes games is that it is a much better time than reading boring columns on fan support. Face it, everyone has a chance to check out a game every now and then. Excuses can be made, but they are usually shallow. Some people go to sporting events more often thar others; some like it more than others. The worse thing to do would be to never try. If this happens, fan support will die. The teams will play. The athletes will have a good time. Some fans will show up, but it just wouldn't be the same. We could make it better. Let's hope so, for our own sakes.

At this meeting, organization charters with Student Government will be renewed fo r the 1981-82 academ ic year. Student Government President Ana Nunez noted that the "very in- . formative" meeting is mandatory for those organizations which plan to request funding or support from SC. In this case, the organizations' constitutions must be renewed. The most important aspect of the meeting, however, will be the proposal of establishing a Presidents' Council. Nunez states that the purpose of this coµncil is to provide greater communication between Student Government and clubs and organizations at Wilkes. by Mary Kay Pogar soth Anniversary Planned by College ; Celebration Serves Double Purpose by Donna Nitka The 1981-82 school year will be a special one for the Wilkes community. It will be during this time that the college observes its fiftieth anniversary. While this year is a year of planning, next year will be one of celebration. Thomas Kelly, Dean of External Affairs, notes that the anniversary celebration will serve a double purpose: to recognize the founding of Bucknell University Junior College, now Wilkes, and to augment the relationship of the college with its constituents. In response to requests by Wilkes-Barre community leaders, Bucknell University Junior College was founded in 1933. As interest grew, it was decided that a four year institution of higher education was needed in the WilkesBarre area. Bucknell University agreed; in 1947, Wilkes College was established . According to Dean Kelly, two categories of events are planned for the year of celebration. The first is designed to include Bucknell University in the festivities . An inaugural convocation will be held in September, 1982, at which the presidents of Bucknell and Wilkes, the chairmen of both Boards, the entire Wilkes faculty, and the Department Chairmen of Bucknell will participate, in full academic regalia. Other events include intercollegiate athletic contests, faculty interchanges, exchanges of art exhibitions, cultural exchanges, and Presidents'•Treasurers' Meeting Set For Sept. 29 Inside: Presidents' Council p.2 SG President p.6 Neu, Basketball Coach p. 7 Also at the meeti[!g, club leaders will be informed of the procedure for obtaining funds from SC. Other topics on the agenda will be the Social Committee schedule and upcoming activities on campus, the organizations activity _ file devised by Nunez, and publicity rules and suggestions. According to Nunez, the presidents .a nd "treasurers of all organizations which have a charter with SC are requested to attend. Nunez also encourages other club members to attend because of the meeting's importance. She further mentioned th.e success of last year's PresidentsTreasurers Meeting and anticipated an even more successful meeting this year as a result of the large participation in the recent club day. possibly a student interchange. Dean Kelly stressed that the means of faculty and student interchange, and of cultural exchange, have yet to be decided. The second type of event planned involves the college community and the city of Wilkes-Barre. Activities include a Founders Day celebration in September, 1982, and several Wilkes Alumni Symposia, which will deal with topics such as law, health care, business, and education. A history of the college will be written; Al Groh, Director of Cultural Activities, will serve as editor, and Dr. Edward Hartmann will serve as editorial consultant. Dean Kelly added that President Capin had named Community Relations Coordinator John Chwalek coordinator of the anniversary celebration and W. Carey Evans, chairman. Dr. Lou Rigley and Jean-Michel Cousteau are shown during one of their excursions on the May River, investigating the feeding behavior of dolphins. Rigley AndCoastea■ Obsreve Dolphins by Mary Kay Pogar As an animal behaviorist who is active in research, Dr. Lou Rigley of the department of biology has received recognition for his work from his colleagues and students of fish behav ior. Soon, however, Dr. Rigley's work will be appreciated by a much larger audience when a film in which the Wilkes professor appears with Jean-Michel Cousteau and other scientists is released for television . The film, entitled, "Warm Blood of the Sea," will include ten minutes of footage of Dr. Rigley's research, the investigation of the feeding mechanism of dolphins in shallow estuarine marsh. With his wife, Ida, and two Wilhs students, Val Van Dyke and Karen Haring, Dr. Rigley spent about four weeks this ·summer on the May River in Bluffton, South Carolina. As a result of their investigation, they found that the dolphins caught small fish to feed on by chasing them toamud bank and sliding up on the bank to catch them . Dr. Rigley has been working with the Cousteau Societ y for three summers. He is team Direc- · tor for Project Ocean· Search Atlantic, a project designed to determine ways to protect the environment. This year, however, marks the first time hetJisappeared in a film for TV. He feels he is "fortunate to have had an opportunity . to make a Cousteau film." The film will be released for television in January. �Page 2, The Beacon, September 18, 1981 College Hires New Security Com-p any Nunez Proposes ~e.., Council 0/ PresidentL by Thomas Jordan On March 30 of this year Wilkes College hired a new security agency, Globe Security Systems, to patrol the campus.

Searching for that ..other world" gift .... but at a price that's down-to-earth? ..\ Wednesday, Sept. 23 · by John Finn The establishment of a new campus organization, a council that will be composed of the presidents and leaders of all clubs and student groups at Wilkes, will be discussed at the second annual meeting of the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council on Sept. 29. For those involved it will mean the opportunity to have direct contact with at least 800 students who the three main student organizations, SC, IRHC, and CC, cannot reach . For Ana Nunez, President of the Student Government, it will mean the fulfillment of a campaign promise. The Presidents' Council, as the organization is now called, is intended to be a "source of communic~tion between all clubs and organizations on campus and Student Government," according to Nunez. She envisions a council that will meet monthly and discuss a variety of topics concerning club activities, methods of improving and strengthing organizations, and (FOR W ILK ES COL LEG E STUDENTS ON LY) J -ALSO SEE THE LA TEST IN FALL FASHIONa FOR TODAYS ACTIVE WOME N t,__,..._,..._,,,._,,,._,,,.._,,,.._,,,-j-_,,,._,,,.._,,,.._,,,.._,,,.....o--_,..._,,,-_,,,-_,,,-...,...,-..,8: <=:::::>IN Wk -- >-k Mk W• • �September 18, 1981, The Beacon, Page 3 Guest Speakers Attend SG Meeting The second speaker was Mr. John Chwalak who spoke on the upcoming 50th anniversary of Wilkes College. A special one-year program, beginning on Sept. ·25, 1982, will be held to honor the college which began as Bucknell Junior College in 1933. Many special events have been planned for the students and alumni of · Wilkes with Bucknell University participating. Chwalak mentioned how Wilkes has matured into a highly recognized institution. He hopes for enthusiasm and suggestions from students and alumni. By Doug Fahringer Two guest speakers attended last Monday's St11dent Government meeting, both urging student involvement from Wilkes students in -their endeavors. The first speaker was Mr. Bart Bellairs, one of the new coaches at Wilkes. Bellairs is in charge of intramurals and stated that he hopes this year's competition is more exciting than that of the past.

Concerning last week's movie, "Caddyshack," Film Committee Chairman Elaine Kerchusky said the movie was extremely successful, making $144 with approximately 575 people attending. Keith Sands, Chairman of the Academic C orrimittee announced a meeting for all members on Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 7 p.m. in the lobby of Miner Hall. He said that 16 Students and four SG reps join~d the committee. In other business, Amnicola Editor Michelle Bandola anticipates the arrival of last year's yearbooks by the end of October. She further noted the good attendance by freshmen at the past meetingfor all interested students. The Student Center Board recently held a meeting in order to revise their charter. The basement of the student center is now ready for full use and is under a new name, "The Cavern:• which will help distinguish it from the rest of the Student Center.

Pringle also noted that students who submitted books may receive their money or used books in the SG office, second floor of Weckesser. Tickets must be presented in order to receive any money. Knox Plans Negotiations With Park & Lock Director By John Finn The likelihood of a price increase next month for Park &-Lock discount stickers was announced Monday night at the Commuter Council meeting. Joe Knox, President, reported that the price may · rise to $14. 00 per 20 stickers, an increase of $1.00 from th'e lower rate . offered at the end of the· spring semester last year. Knox said he would meet Tuesday, Sept. 15 with Luther Brackell, the city's director of the Park & Lock complexes, and would attempt to negotiate a price reduction . The price increase, which was authorized by · the City CCJ11ncil, was justified as necessary due to spiraling costs of operating the facilities. Because Wilkes students provide the largest single bloc of customers to the Park & Lock South from September to May, the council may have considerable leverage to negotiate for a price decrease. No CC meeting is all sad news, however, and Monday night Bart Bellairs, a new member of -the Wilkes Athletic Department (he says he's not just a coach), introduced his plans for this year's intramural program . "I love to see crazy things," Bellairs said, and suggested events ranging from chess tournaments to mud wrestling (the mud wrestling received a more favorable response from council members). Bellairs is from the University of Illin_ois, and although he is relatively new and still a bit unfamiliar with the Wilkes Campus, he said he realizes the difficulty of involving many commuter students in intramural activities. He is considering having the intramurals on Sundays or during club periods. "They say it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all," stated Richard Myers, Executive Director of COPUS, "but lr\;ay it is better to have written and Jost· than to have never written at all." Myers was referring to the letter-writing campaign he has •been conducting this semester .as part of: a lobbying effort to·.urge members of Congress to prevent· any further reductions in student financial aid programs . The semester's first Lunchtime Coffeehouse is set for Thursday, September 24. Amy Elias, Coffeehouse Chairman, reported that Tom Rago will perform from 11-1 :00 on the first floor of the Student Center. Admission is free. -··························•·· SAVE $10.00 OFF THE REGULAR PRICE OF YOUR ULTRIUM COLLEGE RINGI LIMITED TIME OFFER!

Few, if any, of these promises are kept once the person is elected to that office. · As she campaigned for the office of Student Government President, Ana Nunez promised to establish an organization composed of all the presidents and heads of the clubs and organizations on the Wilkes campus. Her reasoning behind this was based on the fact that communication between the three main student organizations Student Government, Commuter Council and the InterResidence Hall Council and the remainder of the organizations on campus is · usually poor. She proposed to establish a council which will meet monthly to discuss methods of improving communications and relation- ! ships among the various clubs and organizations. Nunez's campaign promise is likely to become a reality in the near future as she presents her proposal at the annual meeting of the Presidents' and Treasurers' Council on September 29. For Nunez, it will mean the fulfillment of a campaign promise. For the clubs and organizations on campus, it organization and improve their relationships. will mean a chance for clear, open communication.

Though this job requires much stamina and is not the kind of job that allows me to wait for applause, I receive much internal gratification for doing it. Personally, I have benefited from Student Government by meeting the challenge of dealing with many people, but most of all,dealing with each person as a unique individual. " In dealing creatively with criticism, in particular, "armchair critics, " Ana states, "Criticism is great if the armchair critics are willing to makethecommitment of action in order to change things for the better.

Recent Hersheypark Trip Exciting For Participants By Doug Fahringer The morning was cold and foggy as students gathered in front of Stark Learning Center, waiting to leave for the third annual Wilkes Day at Hershey Park. The day warmed up and the sun shone the entire afternoon with approx• imately 60 students participating in the exciting day at Hershey. Two school buses were used for the trip with the majority of the Wilkes participants using their own transportation. Not surprisingly, the students quickly made their way to the ever-popular "Super Dooper Looper," "The Comet" or one of Hershey's newest rides, "The Pirate." As the day went on, some tired students stopped at the dolphin and sea lion show to rest and be entertained by the lovable animals. One unsuspecting Wilkes sophomore, Mia Mumford, was volunteered to help feed a dolphin . She was easily persuaded by the animal trainer to put a slimy fish in her mouth. Mumford took the gag well and delighted the entire aqua arena crowd. By 7 p.m. that evening, the exhausted Wilkes students all made their way back to the parking lot to load the buses. This year's trip to Hershey Park was not as successful as those trips in the past; however, the students who took advantage of the trip to "Chocolate Town, U.S.A." all seemed to have a great time.

The Wilkes women played three games, and by the last game one could tell that they had had a long day . The first game featured Wilkes against a tough Keystone Junior College team. This was more or less a warmup game for botlteams as the game ended in a 0-0 tie. Defense was the name of the game as both teams found opportunities to shoot at each others goals few and far between. In the second game Wilkes displayed a bit more offense as they defeated Messiah College 1-0. Michelle Weiss displayed excellent stic;k work in moving the ball down the field, and after three shots at the goal, Debbie Cometa hit in the winning tally. Goalie Val Frey had a good game and recorded some brilliant saves. Game three finally saw the Wilkes ladies put it all together. The final score of 3-0 indicates that they played well both offensively and defensively. Freshman Jeanne By Basketball has not only been a big part of James Atherton's life; his life has been a big part of his coaching philosophy. The former Luzerne County Community College basketball coach is truly dedicated to the coaching profession. Now that he is coaching the Wilkes basketball team, we can probably expect to see some changes in this campus sport. The team may undergo some changes, but for the most part, Jim Atherton will remain the same. In twenty-five-years of coaching basketball, James Atherton has been developing an outlook on basketball comparable to an outlook on life. He feels one must have pride and discipline in everything one does . He knows his team may lose to a superior team, but he doesn't want the members to defeat themselves. "I am interested in those who play for me not only as players, but as human beings," he said, adding that this is greatest strength any coach could have, putting aside knowledge of the game. While he has been teaching the sport to players, Atherton has also been learning from them. He said, "Learn to the day you die. In life you either progressor regress. It's Dougherty scored her first and second goals of her college career in leading the Wilkes attack. Another freshman, Kim Kramer, added the other goal. The Lady Colonels kept the pressure on Mansfield throughout the match and kept the action in the Mansfield end of the field. Occassionally the opponents were able to push into Wilkes territory, but co-captain Diane Hall, usually a standout on offense, showed her versatility and played excellent defense to thwart the Mansfield attack. It was a lon·g, hot day for the Wilkes ladies, but the games provided them with experience for the upcoming season .

During his years as coach, James Atherton has learned a great deal, and aiso about hi5 players. He knows that they must strive to ao their best not only in basketball as athletes, but also in life, as people. The point is this: Jim Atherton does not just look at the ability of a player; his analysis goes much deeper. In basketball, as in life in general, these are obsticles to be faced. Most people want to be successful in their life, but many are not willing to truly sacrifice and strive to attain success. Working with his teams, Atherton has not only looked at the ability and quality of his players, but he has examined their willingness to give an honest effort.

The Wildcats of Western Maryland would prove to be a tough opponent; they have been the MAC champions for five consecutive years. Even with a mist of intimidation engulfing them, Wilkes came out fighting. The offensive attack was led by setters Cat_!iy Dudick and Debbie Kramer and hitters Ellen Doty, Sally Fisher, Ellen Van Riper, and freshman Jennifer Golding. On the defensive side, the non-stop blocking of Cathy Dudick, Sally Fisher, and Ellen Van Riper could only temporarily prevent the Wildcats fromscoring. Wilkes was defeated 15-0, 15-1, 15-5, 15-2, and 15-3. Although Wilkes went down in defeat, they still looked very im- Harriers Open 1981Season With Victory pressive both offensively and defensively. The very next day, Saturday, Sept. 12, the team participated in a tournament with the University of Scranton and Allentowm College at the South Franklin St. gym. The Lady Royals of Scranton are always tough competitors for Wilkes, and Saturday proved to be no different. Scranton was tough, but so was Wilkes. Wilkes did a great job on service returns and hitting. Defensive blocking was also very good , but not .good enough to stop Scranton's scoring drive. The Colonettes bowed respectfully to the Royals 15-6, 15-2, and 16-14. When it came time to play Allentown College, the sweet taste of victory was something the team longed to savor after two days of defeat. After falling to Allentown in the first two games 15-8 and 15-6 Wilkes turned on its offensive hitting and defensive blocking machines to beat Allentown 15-12 and 15-13. · After the game Coach Saracino commented, "The girls have worked extremely hard, and I am proud of them and very pleased with their progress. The scrimmages on Friday and Saturday were very tough, and the girls iearned a great deal from them. Our girls realize where their mistakes were and now are working on correcting them. One big factor that has kept the girls going is the fact that they are all well-conditioned athletes." The Wilkes team is looking forward to a tough, but rewarding season. If they continue to play as well as they have been, they will surely repeat last year's championship season. Upcoming games for the ladies are Sept. 21 against Upsala at King's College and Sept. 22 at Scranton. FOOTBALL ACTION Wilkes vs. Colonels Upsala Vikings by Ell_ en Van Riper The Wilkes College cross country team opened its 1981 season with a decisive victory over Elizabethtown College in an away match held on Sept. 12. The final score was 17-38 as new coach Bart Bellairs chalked up his first victory. Wilkes totally dominated the match as they placed six of the top seven runners. Ken Pascoe, senior captain, and Dave Levandoski tied for first. The seventh runner was first-year man Chuck Harris. Bellairs was pleased by his team's showing, but he felt that the meet was not a true test for them . The reasons for his reservations, he stated, were that the top Elizabethtown runner was sick, and also that the program was rebuilding. He commented that . . _ this Saturday's meet against Kings' and Delaware Valley, both strong teams, will provide him with a better indication of his team's orospects for the season. The meet ~ill be run at Kirby Park and is the opening home meet for the team. Cross Country scoring is different than that of most other sports. The idea is to amass tle .., lowest score possible. Each team must have five runners place or they are disqualified . The places have the values of 1 point for first, 2 points for second, and so on . The top five finishes for each team are added together, and a winner is determined.

Vol.XXXIV No. 2 September 11, 1981 Wilkes Nursing Students Begin Hazelton Program By Donna Nitka August 31 marked the beginning of the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton and both adm inistration and students are enthusiastic about it. The new Hazleton program is designed to follow the same fouryear curriculum as the - regular nursing program , but allows students to fulfill part of their requirements at Wilkes and the remainder at the Hazleton State General Hospital. Students in the program take courses in English, sociology, and psychology at Hazleton. Each class meets once a week for a three-hour period and is instructed by a Wilkes faculty member. Twice weekly the students are bussed to Wilkes to attend lectures · and do lab work in biology and chemistry. Although the Hazleton facility was equipped fo r this, t he lab facilities there were inadequate. While on the Wilkes campus, the students are also able to fulfill their physical education requirements are participate in college activities . Although most of the program beyond the beginning of th e second year isn't planned yet, it is known that all clinical requirements will be completed at the Hazleton State General Hospital with the exception of obstetrics, which will be handled at St. Joseph Hospital in Hazleton. Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen notes that because the program is new there are still problems to be solved . One such problem is integrating the Hazleton students on the Wilkes campus, and encouraging them to participate in college activities and exercise their student rights (such as voting in campus elections) . Elective courses also pose a problem . Although these problems have been discussed, no detailed solutions have yet been reached. Dean Hartdagen feels that "there will be things we can't anticipate and we have to be flexible enough to deal with them. " The new p rogr am offers the possibility of expansion to the Nur sing Program . The Hazleton State General Hospital has housing facilities and a nursing library . Dean Hartdagen stated that in the future it may be possible to upgrade the present lab facilities and hire a staff of nurses primarily for the Hazleton program. This would permit the students to complete all their requirements in Hazleton and might also allow the acceptance of more students to the nursing program. It is anticipated that within three years there will be more than 100 students in the Wilkes Nursing Program: Hazleton. The students' overall reaction to the program is a positive one. Even though many feel the class days are long, most find the program very challenging. It is however, a challenge they are happy to accept. As Leanne Bart, a student in the program, said, "I think it's wonderful. " communications Department Adds Three Part-time Teachers To Faculty By Thomas Jordan Before the 1981 fall semester began, the Communications Department of Wilkes College had planned to hire a full-time Communications teacher. Since that time, however, plans have been changed, and the department has instead added three part-time teachers to the faculty roster. Dr. Thomas Kaska, Language & Literature Department Chairman, stated that the chief reason for the decision was that the department Inside: Senior Recruiting p.2 Damon Young p.6 Neu, Cross Country Coach p. 7 could not find a suitable person for the job. Kaska commented, "We can't find one full-time teacher we feel has the right qualifications." Kaska also feels that there is not enough work for a full-time teacher in Broadcasting alone, and that the department needs a person with knowledge of each phase of communications. The three part-time communications teachers . include : Dean Phillips, anchorman on WBRE TV , who is teaching a mass media course; Don Horner, producer of the 6 and 11 p .m . News on WBRE, who is teaching a production course; and Carol Oliver, who is teaching in the Speech Department. Kaska feels these people are all qualified in th eir respective fields and will teach in the spring semester if they are available. Dr. Kaska added that "there are distinct advantages to having someone who is actually working in the field , because they know exactly what is going on in the field ." Dean Phillips made a similar statement, saying that no one can explain what is going on in the news room or how hectic it gets without · having been there . The Comm unications Department will continue advertising for full-time teachers of communications studies, though Kaska feels that part-time teachers will work out well for this year. · HAZING ::-- Three newly-initiated women of McClintock Hall proudly model their hazing costumes .

By Lisa Gurka Since its beginning on January 5 of this year, the Job Location and Development Program (JLD) has placed more than 100 students in jobs in this community. The program is again in operation this se mester . Approximately 60 studen ts have already been employed since the start of the Fall semester, according to Karen Alberola, the program's coordinator. Those students who are presently enrolled at Wilkes may participate in the program. JLD not only provides a listing of available employment through the job bank , but also tries to identify and develop jobs with · businesses. Students are then matched, according to their abilities and preferences, with the job openings. Alberola commented, "There has been an increase in the number of' students placed since the beginning of the ·program." Interested students are invited to stop in and register for the program.

Wilkes College - the freshmen and transfers. A special committee carefully plans for the assimilation of these new students into life at the college, through an extensive orientation program . Everyone should be familiar with . the activities planned by the orientation committee - speeches, discussions, testing and, of course, Playfair. Another program of orientation also takes place, but not during the formal Orientation Weekend . This orientation is also carefully planned and thoroughly carried out. _However, this orientation lacks the approval of the administration, and the formality of the program mentioned above. And instead of refering to it as Orientation, most students prefer to call it hazing. In the residence halls, hazing is a procedure through which boys and girls (new resident students) become men and women, through the courteous planning of long-time residents of the hall. Translated, this means · anything from silliness and fun to public humiliation and embarassment. ,, _ Hazing.can be fun . Dressing up the new ·students in bizarre com.br~ations of clothing, taking them to the cafeteria tied together at the wrists and ankles, sending them on scavenger hunts and making them wait on upperclassmen in the cafe are relatively harmless methods of initiation. But threatening students with being blackballed if they fail to participate in hazing, making students physically ill during hazing or forcing them to do anything which they would consider humiliating is certainly not fun, and may even be cruel. Hazing can be a good way to meet a lot of new people. In fact., the scavenger hunts -going around to different halls and asking upperclassmen for specific items - were started to provide a way for new students to meet upperclassmen and other new students. But in recent years, and especially this year, the new students may have been introduced to other students under conditions that were not at all amusing and in ways that were humiliating or degrading. Of course, the circumstances of hazing always prove a little embarassing, but the degree to · which a student is embarassed has increased. The peer pressure to participate in hazing has also increased. Previously, everyone was expected to take part in the activities, but the consequences for not doing so were few. This year, however, students in one residence hall were warned that they would not be allowed to go to sleep B~ACO~ Letter Policy Letter to the editor kl:e welcom~ title deemed as fraudulant by the . ed from all interested parties.

One student, as a result, did not return to her room that night, but instead spent the night with a friend in another residence hall. Other students were threatened that they would be ostacized by all members of the hall if they did not participate in hazing. To a student in unfamiliar surroundings, such threats are serious, and are not taken lightly. There is no reason for such intense social pressure. If hazing activities are limited to those that are fun and not embarassing, most new students will be willing to participate with very little reluctance. But if a student is unwilling to be initiated through. hazing, for whatever reason, he or she would not be pressured into doing anything he or she is afraid or greatly embarassed to do. Hazing should be an experience to remember for its fun, not for its humiliation. There are many harmless ways to initiate the new students. The success of Freshman Follies last Friday night can attest to that. Every year there are new threats that hazing will be stopped entirely on this campus. Instead of allowing next year to be the year this happens, let's make it the year that hazing is reivembered for the fun.

The library has on display four unique rooms containing exhibits which reflect, through their design and memorabilia, the individuals for which they are named. On the first floor of the library, past the card catalogue, are two rooms dedicated to two of the most influencial members of the Wilkes community. The Eleanor Coates Farley Room was constructed to honor the wife of the first Wilkes president, Eugene Farley. The room captures, through its design, Mrs. Farley's interest in the arts. The Admiral Harold R. Stark Room commemorates the military career of Admiral Stark, who also served as Chairmen ,of the Board of Trustees at the college. The room reflects the dignity of the Wilkes-Barre native who became a major military figure during World Warll. Two additional collection rooms on the second floor · display, through their decor, the efforts others have made toward the advancement of Wilkes. Gilbert Stuart McClintock, who succeeded Admiral Stark as Chairman of the Board, is remembered through a collection of personal memorabilia and literature, much of which recounts the history of Wyoming Valley.

By Lisa Cobb There are many sources of information available to students at Wilkes College. One such source is the Susquehanna River Basin Association whose director, Damon Young, has his office in the basement of Franklin Hall. The Association's job is to insure the orderly development of the river, according to Young. This simply means that the Association guards against improper use of the which Young believes will contribute to fun outings for adventurous students. Young feels that the key word of the organization is "education. " The association's purpose is to educate people about new legislation, the value and uses of the river, and the recreational benefits the river offers. "Whether people realize it or not, they inadvertantly use the river," he commented, citing the Charmin Paper Company as on_e example. Some people of water before it reaches its end. Other concerns are the marine life and industrial use of the river and Chesapeake Bay. While on a cruise in the Bay recently, Young learned that only two fishing companies remain at the Bay out of the one thousand companies present only twenty years ago. The life in the Bay is affected by the water which flows into it, and the Susquehanna River donates over 50 % of the fresh water supply of the Chesapeake Bay. Good planning requires charts and mapping. Young hopes to map the Susq ueh a n n a for re cre at io nal, -boating, fishing, histqrical, and trail-guide purposes. The River Basin Association serves as a watchdog and·promoter of the Susquehanna River. Young said students can drop in any time with any questions they may have concerning the river. He said that he is also looking for student involvement. He is presently working on a canoe trip in which he hopes students will participate. The trip would begin in New York state, near the source of the river, and work its way back to our area . The participants could take pictures, do some water quality testing, and speak to persons in towns along the way. Information about membership is available. If you are interested in any of these activities, contact Mr. Young at Franklin Hall. CLUB DAY - At Club Day last Thursday, 33 clubs and organizations were present, trying to attract new members.

A related project w~ich the organization wishes to begin is "Operation River Watch." This project would involve high-school students from twenty-five school districts in the three states through which the Susquehanna runs. The students will test the water quality of the river in their district on a weekly or monthly basis. The organization also sponsors and promotes recreational activities on the river.

Young feels that people need to become more aware of the river as an important asset and a potential danger. He commented that people lose interest in flood protection when the flood "goes away. " When there is no eminent danger, people become apathetic. Another key word to the organization is "planning." As an example , Young cited the Delaware River.

All the Wilkes sports teams will be doing something on Saturday, be it opening day or that one final scrimmage. Best of luck to all the teams and, of course, congratulations to the athletic department. It wasn't a very easy summer for those in charge of the school's sports programs. Surprise! Coach Righter is leaving for a better job. Boo! Nobody is capable of salvaging a dying lacrosse program. Sour grapes abound and .,the evercolorful Tracy Cloth, for one, is going to school somewhere else. Oh no! Dave Kaschak is leaving too? Two physical education instructors are gone. Righter was basketball coach and cross country coach, so· make that three gaps to be filled . Kaschak was the baseball coach, a football assistant, intramural director; make that four more gaps. The Athletic Department couldn't take any old bum off the streets and say, "You're our man, buddy!" It takes thinking, hard work, planning, and a lot of skirting of red tape in order to screen all the applications • With last Sunday's announcement that Bob Duliba will become the new baseball coach, we can all sit back and relax. Believe it or not, we're covered now. "It was a long summer trying to get things organized, but I think we came out in pretty good shape," said John Reese. Duliba was pitching coach at Wilkes four years ago before taking a head baseball coach position at nearby Wyoming Area high school. He is still going to be that school's athletic director, so he will be working at Wilkes part-time, a member of the coaching staff. No classes no te about either becoming a permanent part of the coaching faculty or being canned. The same holds true for basketball coach Jim Atherton. He coaches here, but his job is at Luzerne Community College. He is the Director of Student Activities and Athletics at LCCC. He, like Duliba, is considered by very many people as a member of the "very best around" club. We have 'em both . The other gaps will be filled in a variety of ways, too complicated to explain with so little space. The main men to keep in mind are the two new members of our coaching faculty, Steve Siegrist and Bart Bellairs. Both are excellent young men and John Reese will be the first to agree. In seven years they will be up for tenure, so it is too soon to be speculating . . . maybe. With a tenure policy, the school decides after seven years of service whether or not to keep a member of the faculty. Gene Domzalski baseball coach here for six years, but took another position with Wilkes. It's been a success story for him ever since. Coaches Reese, Schmidt, Saracino, and Meyers are all have tenture. They all have the security with which to build up strong athletic programs. Whether or not tenure is good or bad is a matter of opinion. When the Athletic Department has its next meeting, which should be in a few weeks, one item of discussion will be the tenure policy. Should the coaches be considered staff? Is tenure bad in a way but better in the long run? The process of examining these questions and then coming up with answers will probably take a few years. That is, if the athletic department prefers the staff idea. If not, then tenure will ' nother bi decision. was New Cross Country Coach Brings Enthusiasm and Versatility to Athletic Department By Ellen Van Riper Jim Atherton, the former head "Motivated" and "involved" are mentor at Luzerne County Comthe words which best describe Bart munity College.

The team's opponent was the Wyoming ValJey Club, which is comprised of players from the valley who either coach the sport or who have already graduated from college teams. The club team gave Wilkes a good game, but they just could not score against a tough Colonette defense. Wilkes ended up the game on top with a final score of 3-0. The ladies showed a balance scoring attack. Scoring in the first period was junior Diane Hall. Later on in the match freshman Sue Defrates and Michelle Weiss put one goal each in the cage. Freshman goalie Tracy Kelly spelled Val Frey in the second period and had an excellent debut. Altogether, the hockey team look- Bart Bellairs is the new crosscountry coach. His motto: "Don't mistake activity for achievement." hard working and eager to start the season . This kind of anticipation has infected the entire team , and Bellairs himself anticipates a successful season. Athletics and a concern for other people are both important to Bart • Bellairs, but he also has other main interests: his family and Christianity. He was raised a Christian, and his convictions have led him to become involved in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. As a matter of fact, one thing he would like to do is start a chapter here at Wilkes. His involvement in religion makes his commitment to other people much more understandable.

By Mark James Last year the Colo~ls had a somewhat dismal season, winning only three of nine football games. But the Blue and Gold begin this season with a fresh battery of good freshmen recruits to add to a young but experienced squad. "They're a great bunch of kids," Coach Schmidt explained. "They're an aggressive group because that's the way they play. Everybody's attitude is;:.. on the money;.evei:.ybody's up. ". C' ' '· Sclini°idt-s.t~~c! the fact that in most - yeii'ni' attitude is not a problem with"" the "Colonels.

With weekly evaluations of each player's performance, the members of the defensive unit should be pretty competitive all season. Lucas will be looking for the guys that can hustle in order to give the Colonel defense better potential. The interior defense will lack experience, but the quality is there, so a little extra determination will be needed as the season· progresses. This year's offensive squad will have a balanced formation with two backs and two wide receivers on either side of the formation. The unit's predetermined attack will include option, trap, and misdirection plays. Twelve lettermen will be returning to the offense, but two players that will be missed will include rushing great Carmen "Homer" Lopresto and last year's freshman quarterback George Hall. Returning this year will be of- fensive captains Tony Madden and John Yankovitch and defensive captains Mike Azure and John Millisits, all of whom are seniors. Coach Schmidt said the senior leadership this year is outstanding. This is not a rebuilding year, but the majority of the players are young. Many of this year's sophomores had experience last year, and it will only be a matter of time before the freshmen players become better acquainted with the Colonel system. On Saturday the Colonels will be traveling to Princeton for what should prove to be a good preseason workout. Wilkes has scrimmaged Princeton in the past, and it usually provides a good test of each squad's respective strengths and weaknesses. Coach Schmidt will be entering his twentieth year at the helm. He has been working hard seven days a week in preparation for the upcming season. With the season opener against' the Upsala Vikings only eight days away at Ralston Field, the hard work for Schmidt, his staff, and the team is just beginning. According to Schmidt, the MAC North is pretty competitive; on any given day any team can emerge victorious. The first task at hand is to learn what tactics work best. The Colonels will have to find that out tomorrow. Sports E"ents September 12 Soccer vs. the Alumni at 2:00 p.m. at Ralston Field.

With three weeks of practice already under their belts, the Blue and Gold of Coach I Schmidt will be getting prepared all next week for the season opener against Upsala at Ralston Field, September 19. Team-Hampered By Go&lie Injury By Mark James With some weaknesses in bench strength, the Wilkes soccer team will be hoping to stay healthy in what may prove to be the team's best season in three years. The team has already been hurt by an injury, however, and the loss could be phenominal. Returning goalie Bob Bruggworth was coming along very well in the preseason, but last Sunday in a scrimmage against Keystone Junior College, Bruggworth broke his ankle and will be out for the season. Coach Ernesto Lopez was so impressed with the senior goalie that he said he felt he was working with All-Star material, but now Lopez is faced with the task of training a replacement for Bruggworth in just one week. Two likely candidates for the job include freshman Paul Dougherty and junior Mark Barson, who is in his second year on the team. So far it looks like Dougherty will be starting the season with the difficult task of filling Bruggworth's shoes . Onlv three seniors return this year, 'but the team does have a "fine crop" of freshmen, some of whom will see a good amount of playing time. This year's team is a good, closeknit group of guys that may be lacking in experience, but not in enthusiasm. Coach Lopez said, "All of them have the same skill and they arc working together. There are no stars.·· More than likely it will be a matter of team effort in determining the 'success of this season. "We try to pull together because we don't have excellent players," Coach Lopez explained. Wilkes will be opening its season Saturday at 2:00 p .m . at the Ralston Field against what senior Mike Brodigan described as "a very improved Alumpi team." The afternoon should prove to be enjoyable. One thing fans should look for is the speed that all players can get on the ball. The grass on the field may be a bit high, which may hurt the Colonels more than it could help them. The team will be playing eight of thirteen games this season at home. Incidentally, few, if any, of the players are from the Wyoming Valley. As a sport, soccer has not developed in this area as it has in other places. This does create some recruiting problems for Lopez, but fortunately, there are enough outof-town students at Wilkes to put together a decent team, as long as they can stay healthy. "If we don't have any injuries," the coach explained , "we can go through this season better than the past two years." Wilkes will be taking on . powerhouse rival Scranton at 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday at Ralston Field. SPORTS NOTICE "The thrill of victory . . . the agony of defeat." Sports coverage can be as rewarding and challenging as sports competition itself. If you have a knack for putting the action of sports from the field into words, share the action wit.h your fellow students by applying for a sports - writer position with the Beacon.

Vol.XXXIV No. I September 4, 1981 Non-profit organization U.S. Postage paid Permit No. 355 Wilkes-Barre, PA 18766 Dean Of Student Affairs Undergoes Hip Surgery By Mary Kay Pogar "Let's gooooo, Wilkes!" For years, this cheer has been as much a part of New Student Ori~tation activi ties as President Capin's address to the incom in g s tud e n ts. However, th is tradtional display of spirit was noticeably lacking due this year, d ue to the absence of Dean George Ralston from Saturday's Activities . Every year Dean Ralston leads the orientation staff, administration and the new students in the "Go Wilkes" cheer but th is year the 'dean of stude~t affairs was unable to provide this traditional spark of enthusiasm . On July 24, Dean Ralston underwent surgery for total hip replacement. After the hou r and a half operation , he spent fi ve days in traction and then was allowed to move about with the aid of a walker. He now walks with the assisitance of crutches and will continue to use them throu gh most of September. Although the dea n is still resting at home, he should be able to return to his office in Weckesser Hall shortly. While Dean Ralston is recover- ing from the operation, Deans Jane Lampe and Arthur Hoover have taken over some of Ralston's responsibilities, but as Dean Lampe noted , "George Ralston is irreplaceable." Consequently, she and Dean Hoover frequently callhim for advice. Within the next few weeks t he Dean will return to his office on campus . And although he won't be doing the well-known Ralston cheer for awhile, the Dean will contribute something equally wellknown by students-his highly regarded c~unsel. Board Elects New Officers By Mary Kay Pogar The Wilkes College Board of Trustees recently elected new officers at its ·annual meeting. William L. Conyngham will serve as the Chairman of the Board for the new year. Conyngham is the Secretary-Treasurer of the Eastern Pennsylvania Supply Company, which is based in Wilkes-Barre. A graduate of Yale University, he also serves as Director and ViceChairman of the Wilkes-Baree General Hospital. Other officers elected by the board are; Richard Ross, ViceChairman, who now serves as 'president of First Eastern Bank, William Umphred, President of Commnwealth Technologies, who will act as the Board's treasurer, and Esther Davidowitz , -the newly-elected secretary. In addition to the officers, several new members have been added to the-board . Harold Rose, President and Chief Executive Officer o·f the Wyoming National Bank of Wilkes-Barre; Luciana Inside Financial Aid Director p. 2 Orientatio·n p.5 Summer Roun-cla:p p.8 Suraci, a member of the Board of Directors of the Lackawanna County Mental Health Association, and Alexandra Ehret, President of Musical Management Company in Phiadelphia, will now serve as members of the Board of T rustees for the next three years . According to President Capin, members of the Board of T rustees are selected after they are evaluated in terms of their prospective contributions to the college in one or more of three areas; wisdom , work and wealth. DEAN GEORGE RALSTON delivers a message at the Ecmenical Service. The dean made a special effort to attend this service and participate in the orientation activites. SG Holds First Meeting Of The School Year By Doug Fahringer Ana Nunez, President of Student Government, opened the first SC meeting of the semester by expressing her enthusiasm for the coming year . The meeting began with the second reading of a fund request made by Donna Krappa representing the Women's Activities Association. SC members passed a request for $1,194 to help fund attendance at away sporting events. The request had originally been $1 ,841 , however the bus trip to the Juniata game was deleted because of it's high expense . Krappa mentioned that there is always room on the bus for students who wish to attend away games. In te r-Residence-Hall -Council President Bill Lourie then an nounced the "Freshm en Follies" which will be held tonigh t at 6: 15 p.m. in the gym .. Everyone is invited to what has been termed "orga nized fu n" and a $25 spirit . award will go to the residence hall with the most spirit. Lourie also mentioned· a 'SUB parrty follow ing the '_'Freshmen Follies" which is schedued for 9 p.m.-1 a.m. Th e party will be catered and since it is the year's first SUB party, Louri-:: encourages students to come. Concerning the next IRHC meeting, Lourie stated the time will be 8 p .m. on Sunday, September 6 in the lower level of the library. Commuter Council President Joe Knox noted tha t a new parking lot will be available to commuting students. The lot is located behind Bedford Hall. Knox also announced an upcoming lunchtime Coffeehouse schedule for Sept. 24. Concerning New student Orientation, Am y Elias, co-chairman, felt that the Orientation Program went very smoothly. Elias thanked the entire orientation staff for their help . She then asked SC members for their feedback on Playfair, which was held last Saturday night in the gym. Most members thought Playfair was successful as did three freshmen ~lUdents who attended last Monday's SC meeting. Rick Mey e rs, representing COPUS, announced the name change from Peer Counseling to · Financial Aid Counseling. This program• offers services related to financial aid . Meyers also mentioned the Work Study Program which helps any student on campus find an on-c;ampus job . Any questions concerning COPUS may be referred to the COPUS office on the second floor of the SUB. Tuition Payment Plan Started By Amy Elias This semester Wilkes College will -institute a tuition Installment Payment Plan ,. IPP, which will allow students to spread tuition costs over an eleven-month period. A student's eligibility fo r . the program is determined by his parents' income and if eligible a student may pay tuition costs on a mothly basis. Students whose parents have a combined income of $15,000 or more are eligible to participate in the plan . The amount financed is determined by the paren ts and additional payments over the determined schedule ma y be made at any time. Though no finance charges are assessed, there is an apllication fee of $35.00. On IPP, payments will be credited to the student's account twice a year. The Beacon asked Rachel Lohman, Financial - Aid Director . at Wilkes, whether this minimum proved discriminatory against those students whose parents earn less tha n $15 ,000, especially since the reduction in government aid to students. Lohman responded that most studen,ts affected by the govern ment budget cuts . have parents who earn more tha n $15,000 annually, and that IPP 'therefore was an aid to those were indeed most affected b~· . budget cuts in Washington . Lohman added that IPP will benefit those students who don't qualify for other types of financial assistance. Accordlng to Karen Campbell , Assistant Comptroller at Wilkes, wm parents of incoming freshmen or presently enrolled Wilkes students should have received a brochure outlining the plan in detail. This information , h o weve r , w as available later than expected due to problems of printing a nd some legal questions about the fi nance plan itself. When asked how such a plan came about, Campbell stated that she had seen a similar program used successfully at Carnegie Mellon Uni versity. After · examining th is program , C a mpb ell , Joseph Chisarick, Wilkes Comptroller, and President Robert Capin had worked together to utilize IPP on the Wilkes campus . Approximately 75 students have responded to IPP and will be using the new service. �Page 2, The Beacon, September 4, 1981 Photography Club Conducts Contest J • The Photography Club, under the leadership of Paul McCabe and Joe Larnerd, will be running a semester long photo contest.

She has spent the last three months working long days in preparation for the start of the Fall semester, in addition to com pleting the major project this summer: the packaging of student fina ncial aid fo r this year and the reviewing of last year's aid programs. · But in that time she has observed that Wilkes "has kept its smallcollege attitude toward students, " and throughout the summer months s he has enjoyed the "personal contact" with students which she believes is a part of that attitude. Mrs. Lohman is a native of Wilkes-Barre and she received a B.A. in Business Education from Wilkes in 1971. She also holds a Master Degree in Business Education from Bloomsburg State College.

One of the more acute problems- a pro blem not peculiar to Wilkes-is the reduction in the overall availability of financial aid for college students. "In the past" Mrs. Lohman explains fro m fi rsthand knowledge, "as tuition went up, so did aid . But now, this is the first year when tuitions are generally increasing and aid is decreasing." This discrepancy is of course a na tional problem , the result of drastic red uctions in the Federal budget in many areas, including aid for post-secondary education . This is a trend that will continue fo r at least two more years, but so far Lohman says that she has "never turned any students away solely for financial rea$ons. " Mrs. Lohman feels that another challenge of her new job is "learning the policies of the institution ." At this point she is satisfied that Wilkes' aid programs are "very fair and need based ." After one month on the job Mrs. Lohman felt adjusted and comfortable with the new routine, but she adds, "I was comfortable with the new people much earlier. " During the summer she worked with Mr. Richard Raspen, who ran the same office until he became Director of Alumni Relations last year. "I called Mr . Raspen almost daily. He was very helpful on internal policy, but I also had the support of all offices on campus." Mrs. Loh man 's imm ediate predecessor, Linda Giordano, has returned to her teaching position at the college. PHONI 825-0938 ...... s-10 ,au DILIYl■Y . . . . A $5.00 Order.

Tucker is primarily in charge of the Sterling Inn Towne and Miner Hall. He will also be working with the Resident Assistants, and will be involved in solving students' housing problems. Tucker has also been named Director of the Student Center, and is the first administrator to. serve in this capacity. His goal as director is to increase the use of the Center by making it more useful and comfortable for both commuter and residence hall students. Tucker feels that he has taken the first stepin accomplishing this by having, the Center open and operational from the first day of classes, thereby giving the students a familiar meeting place. Tucker received his Baccalaureate Degree from East Stroudsburg State College and his Master's Degree from the University of Scranton . He has worked as a career technician at Luzerne - County Community College, and recently has served as Program Supervisor for Luzerne County Recreation Center. L ourie Anticipates Prod uctive Year By Donna Nitka IRHC president Bill Lourie forsees a very productive year for the Council. Various activities are planned to fulfill the organization's goals of improved residence hall, food, maintenance and parking conditions. Foremost in Lourie's plans is the allocation of greater responsibility to individual hall governments. Lourie plans to establish a Presidents' Council, of which each hall president would be a member. He is also exploring the possibility of sponsoring workshops for the hall councils. Lourie also wants to see each hall involved in some type of community service. He plans to take action to red uce vandalism .on campus, and would like to see the SUB utilized more. Various minor committees will be estabiished throughout the year to fulfill these plans, including a Community Service Committee, a Vandalism Committee, and a Fund-Raising Committee. A P.ublicity Committee will also be ~tablished to keep the college community informed of IRHC happenings. · Lourie stresses the fact that IRHC is there to help with students' problems. The council would like to make Residence Hall life easier and more pleasant for the Wilkes resident student. By John Finn The Commuter Council conducted its first regular meeting of the Fall semester on Monday. The council voted to recommend that the All-College Picnic, which at the time of the meeting was tentatively scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 6, be held at Ralston Field in Kirby Park. Originally, pl;ms were being made to rent Konefal's Grove for the same date, but the price of $9.00 per person for 250 people, was considered by .most members to be an exorbitant amount. Council members realized that even with the expected subsidy of $550.00 from each of the three campus governments, SG , IRCH, CC, the initial cost, and the cost of the band, migllt still place the cost per ticket for an individual student over $6.00. Council president Joe Knox announced that a new parking lot with an additional 20 spaces has been designated for commuters. The lot is located in the rear of Bedford Hall. The total number of spaces now available for commuters is 70. Knox also announced that parking applications have been reviewed and a tentative list of approximately 50 recipients has been drawn up.

Playfair is a two-hour program of games and activities meant to stimulate communication between students. Man y Wilkes upperclassmen also participated in the program, happily screaming "Uh-mee-baal" and demanding standing ovations along with the rest of the new students. After the Playfair program concluded, a movie was shown and everyone was treated to soda and popcorn. ID's were distributed to the new students after the movie. On Sunday at 11 :30 a.m. a College and Community Ecumenical Service was held at the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center fo r the Performi ng Arts. Dean George Ralston presided at the service.

However, when asked to present a seasonal outlook, Coach Meyers said that she was being "cautiously optim istic"about this year's team . The team has lost three talented perform~rs from last year's squad, Geri MacAfee, Megan Ward, and Pam Snyder, and finding replacements will not be an easy task. The 1981 season opens on Sept. 17 when the ladie s host Elizabethtown College, but there are two warm ups before then. The first is Sept. 5 when the team hosts a local club team , ·and the second is on Sept. 12 when the Lady Colonels will host Messiah , Mansfield, and Drexel in a tournament. Coach Meyers is counting on the first scrimmage in particular to provide her with a general indication of the team's strengths and weaknessess. This year's offensive unit will be led by junior co-captain Diane Hall who was the leading scorer last year. However, graduation has left the unit with little experience, so some new talent must be found . Coach Meyers indicated that finding an offensive combination that will click is the key to a successful 1981 season , so players from last year's junior varsity and some incoming freshmen may see varsity action early. On the defensive side, the squad has a contingent of experienced returning players , senior cocaptain Helen Gorgas, junior Linda Dayer, and sophomore Karerr Johnson, but Coach Meyers must fin d a replacemen t fo r the graduated Pam S~yder. Pam was an exceptionally talented player who gained many post-season honors, so the midfield defense will be lacking unless someone can step in and fill her shoes which is no easy task . However, on the positive side, Coach Meyers has no worries when it comes to goalkeeping. Sophomore Valerie Frey had a good rookie season, and with one year of collegiate experience under her belt she should be better than ever. • Wilkes Women tO Follow NCAA By Ellen Van Riper The 1981-82 season will be a landmark in Wilkes College athletic history. Beginning this fall , all of the women's athletic teams will compete under NCAA rules and regulations . The women had formerly followed the AIA W guidelines. This change will have a tremendous impact upon women 's athletics at Wilkes and at other colleges and universities across the country. There will be changes in statistical record keeping and postseason competition , but more importantly there will be changes in the transfer and eligibility rules . There are many more changes which have occurred because of the switch from AIA W to NCAA, but space does not allow full detail. However, more detailed information can be obtained from Mrs . Saracino, Director of Women's Athletics, at her office in Weckesser Annex . Volleyball Team Sets Aim For MAC Return By Ellen Van Riper Pre-season practice has· begun for the women's volleyball team . This year's tea m is working hard to reach their goal of another MAC play-off berth . Last season was the first play-off appearance for the team, and the ladies are eager for a repeat and perhaps a championship. The 1981 season· officially opens on Sept. 17 when the Lady Colonels host the.Elizabethtown Blue Jays, but there are two pre-season scrimmages scheduled also. The first is on Sept. 11 when the team will travel to Maryland to face Western Maryland College, the 1980 MAC champions. The second . is the following day in the Wilkes gym at 2 p.m. There will be a four team tournament featuring the host Lady Colonels, the University of Scranton Lady Royals, and Messiah and Allentown Colleges. Much of the p~e:-se~n practice has been· a cond1ttonmg program which was developed by head basketball coach Nancy Roberts. The program consists of a circuit of exercises which condition parts of the body which are used specifically for volleyball while at the Sl!,me time increasing ca_rdiov_ascular endurance. The ladies will be playing a long, tough schedule, so this program should prove beneficial in the long ru n. This year's team will feature many returning players. Leading the team will be captain Cathy Dudick and fellow seniors Lisa Cobb, Donna Derrick, and Jody Johnson . Other returni ng upperclassmen . are juniors Carol Cigarski and Ellen Van Riper and sophomores Debbie Cramer, Sally Fisher, Ellen Doty, and Suzette Dyanick. The team would also like to thank Dean Hartdagen for his help in obtaining a regulation volleyball standard for the gym. He is a great supporter of the team , and the ladies all appreciate his help.

Vol.XXXIV No. I September 4, 1981 - - - - - - - N e w Faces in Athletic Programs Kaschak, Righter Move On By Mark James The Wilkes College Athletic Department has gone through a number of changes during the summer, with the majority of changes involving sports personnel. Ron Righter is no longer the Wilkes basketball coach; he's gone to Washington State University to serve as assistant basketball coach . Righter',s replacement* is James Atherton who_served 13 yea rs as uc- , head mentor for the Luzerne Coun ty Commun it y Co llege basketball squad . In those years, Atherton compiled an amazing 228-86 record for the Minu temen, giving him a .726 winning percentage. Among the other changes is the departure of head baseball coach Dave Kaschak. Kaschak was offered a job with Rawlings Sporting Goods. His duties are as a pro- .,,. Froin - ,The Bench by Ellen Van Riper Welcome sports fans, both old and new. The summer is over, and it is time once again to enrich and cultivate our minds. Many of you p robably think that the fun and excitement of life has gone with the summer; but you are terribly wrm_1g. There is an aura.of excitement in the air in and around Wilkes College. It is the anticipation of a fresh, brand new season of intercollegiate athletics here at Wilkes. The 1981-82 season is going to be action packed from the opening kickoff to the last swing of the bat, and we at the Beacon Sports Department plan to bring it all to our readers. We will include the latest scores and complete game coverage,· but we will also include up to date MAC standings for all the teams, personality features, Athlete of the Week, and analysis of crucial games and matches. In addition we hope to convey to our reading audience some of the emotion of the players and games themselves. The 1981-82 year will also be a time of experimentation by the Sports Department. "The Great Experiment" will be the sharing of the position of editor by two people, myself and Mark James. Mark will be mostly responsible for the coverage of the men's athletic teams, and my major concern will be the coverage of the women's athletic teams. This split of the editorial duties will allow us expanded and more indepth coverage of all of the competitive teams. During the course of the year we hope that you will feel free to drop us a line or stop in the office to tell us how the experiment is going. Remember, this is the sports department of your college newspaper. Before I continue any further, I would like to make a commentary upon the importance of athletics in college life and perhaps life in general. First of all, I must make it clear that this applies to both participants and spectators alike. The basic reason for attending a college or university is to educate, improve, and expand one's mind and intellectual abilities with the hope of successively entering a particular profession upon graduation . With this in mind, it is obvious that almost everything at college is intellectually orientated . However, man is also a physical emotional being as well, and it is important to keep all three in proper balance. If one is improved, then the others should follow suit. This is where athletics come in, be they intercollegiate, or intramural. Sports are a physical outlet for man, and while the mind still functions, it is the body which dominates the activity. Athletic activity gives the mind a break and also releases the tension which can result in daily life. On the emotional side sports are also an outlet for the aggressive, competitive part of man. Athletic activity can also be a means by which to release anger and frustration. Socially, sports are a great way to meet new people, to learn how to coexist with one's fellow human beings, and a great opportunity to learn the values of teamwork. It is clear that in one way or another all of these things can be applied to both participants and spectators alike and without sports' this campus would be a greatly different place. On this note, I would like to urge all of you to get involved in Wilkes College sports this year. There are numerous ways to become involved; join a team, attend games and matches, sign up for intramurals, become a team manager or statisticial, or even become a sports writer for the Beacon . If you don't get involved, you are going to miss out on a lot of action and excitement. We at Wilkes are all one big team, so let's all support the athletic teams to help make 1981-82 very successful, and hopefully,-the year of the Colonel. representative for the company, which means he will be displaying and maintaining sporting equipment for professional athletes along the eastern seaboard . Most of his work will be with athletes playing football or baseball, some of whom will be in the college ranks . Swim coach Bob Greenwald has left Wilkes and his diving coach, Bob Lewis, will take over the coaching duties. Last yea r a good part of the swim season had been cancelled; hopefully, this year will be different. One of Lewis' greatest difficulties may be the fact that the Wilkes swim team is without i ts own facilities . Previously, the King's College pool was used by the team . Finally, Wilkes College no longer has a lacrosse team. Last spring there .had been deba te over · whether the lacrosse program should be abolished. Upon the suggestion of the Wilkes athletic committee in charge of studying the situation, President Capin decided the team should be dropped . Rumor has it the Presiden t's house was egged after the decision was made, but whether or not hard feelings are still strong will eventually emerge . With the coaches of two of Wilkes biggest sports no longer with us, there will most likely be some changes in these sports programs. The new baseball coach has not been selected yet, but our new basketball coach should prove to have a style much different than coach Righter . James Atherton is not known for losing his temper and jumping up and down after a bad call . He has a much less dramatic approach to the game than his predecessor . An alumnus of Wilkes College, Atherton once played for the Colonels when Dean Ralston was coach back in the '50's. "I feel Jimmy is one of the trul y outstanding teachers of the game in this section of the country," Ralston remarked , "and more importantly, he is a fin e human being and a great example for yo ung p e ople." Wilkes Athletic Director John Reese, when commenting on Atherton's selection, said the move was a sign of commitm ent to the basketball program . "We wanted someone who could keep the program on the rise," Reese explained, "We feel we've gotten a good man . Wilkes is putting its fa ith in Jimmy Atherton." Ron Righter, who can be credited with turning the Wilkes basketball program around in the past two years, was also pleased with the selection. "The program is in gqod hands. Wilkes could not ha ve picked a finer firstclass individual for the job, said Righter, who added, "The team should look forward to working with one of the best. " The Colonels will have to make a mild transition themselves. While Atherton is a seasoned veteran of the game, Righter can be best described as a dynamic young coach with a great deal of quality experience. Jack McKinney, the present coach of the NBA's Indiana Pacers was Righters coach while the former Wilkes mentor was playing at St. Joes . McKinney had this to say about Righter: "Ron has always been a hard working player and.it doesn't surprise me that he is now going to be working for a big-time college as coach."· Washington State's head basketball coach, George Raveling, was pleased with the addition of Righter to his basketball prograr,:. Speaking of Righter, Raveling said, "His background in basketball and his personality will be a tremendous asset to our basketball program." In his firs t yea r at Wilkes, Righter succeeded in attaining two goals: one was to beat Kings fo r the fi rst tim e in twenty years while winning ten games . Both goals were met . Last yea r, Righter and company wanted to have a .500 percentage, a victory over Scranton, and a league playoffs berth . They did . Just as Ron Righter made a step up in his career, the former Wilkes baseball coach Dave Kaschak did much the same. In his three years at Wilkes as head baseball coach , Dave Kaschak has proved to be a great success. His overall record in that time period stands at 50 and 26; that's two out of three games being a victory . He worked as an assistant football coach and was also in charge of the school's intramural program. While a student at Wilkes, Kaschak had an outstanding athletic record, garnering most valuable player honors in addition to being the 1971 Athlete of the Year. It is his outstanding record of accomplishments in athletics that caught the eye of the Rawlings people . His sports background and his personality made him the man for the job. Before coming to W ilkes, Dave ·Kaschak was doing the same things at the nearby Bishop O'Reilly High School. He took the job at Wilkes knowing it would provide for more and better opportunities . As it turned out, he met his new boss through Wilkes. "All I did was to send him a resume. It doesn't hurt to find out what y9u're wo rt h." As it tu rned out, he was wo rth a lot to the Rawlings people and was told he would get the job if he wanted it. He was called at the end of April and was asked if he would be interested in the career move . "I sat down for a couple · minutes because I was still in the middle of our sear.on . . . and I said, 'How could I refuse th is?' " He couldn't refuse the salary increase and increased benefits. The job had too much to offer. Kaschak said he would still be living in the area and would a big supporter of the Wilkes teams . Asked if he would miss being coach and working at Wilkes, he had this to say: "Oh yeah! Some of these kids I've really grown to like." He mentioned the situation of Division III sports. His main point was that most of the athletes don't get the benefits of Division I athletes, and they play because they enjoy sports. "You get kids that want to play because they like to play, but they're not getting paid to play. You don't have the control over them that . a Division I school would have. The sad thing about it is that you have kids that are dedicated enoughto not go out on Friday when there is a big double header on Saturday. Some kids can do it and still do alright, but they're few and far between. Usually if you're out having a good time on Friday night, you don't have a good time Saturday afternoon ." Wilkes College means a lot to Dave Kaschak. He loves his job. The Rawlings offer fo r Kaschak was like the Washington State offer for Coach Righter . It was a step up in their career goals. The loss was obviously Wilkes', but the career gains for both Kaschak and Righter prove not only the quality of these two men in sports, but it is also a reflection on the Wilkes athletic programs. Kaschak continually stressed that he took the Rawlings job for financial reasons, although the local media tended to play upon the tenure standing at Wilkes. However, Kaschak had several years to go before worrying about tenure. What he wanted to do was to make a: better life for his famil y. He worked hard through the years to attain this; he earned it . To him, coaching at Wilkes was just .fine, but as he said , "Dave, Michael, Brain, and Camille ... that's what it's all about! " Dave Kaschak couldn't have said it better.

Capin, effective May 29. Giordano had taken over the position in January after the form er director, Richard Raspen, was appointed as Alum ni Director. According to President Capin, Giordano resigned because "she felt that the work was't rewarding for her" and coufdn't see herself doing the work over a long period of time. Capin continued that, although he was disappointed in her resignation , he fully understood her decision. He com mented, "Her interest lies in teaching. Everybody has to choose what they want to do in life." Donna Nitka, another newcomer, is a freshman biology major from Kelayres, Pa . She will be next year's Assistant News Editor and has written news this, year as a reporter for the Beacon. Because the selection committee found both applicants of equal . ability, Mark James and Ellen Van · Riper will serve as Co-Sports Editors. Both Mark and Ellen have covered several sports this year while serving as sports writers. Michele Serafin, this year's Advertising Manager, will take over the duties of Business Manager .. Michele is an- accounf- · ing major from Dupont. The position of Advertising · Manager will be held by Lorraine Koch. Lorraine, a sophomore accounting major from Easton, Pa., served as this year's Circulation Manager . Stephen Thomas, a sophomore computer science major from York, Pa ., will serve as next year's photographer. Next year's editors were chosen by a selection c mmittee composed of Dr . John Stevens, Martin · Napersteck, Dr. Norma Schulman, Dr . Robert Freysinger, Dr. Brad Kinney, Louis Czachor, this year's Managing Editor, Dr. Thomas Kaska, Dean Jane Lampe and Patti Sparlow, this year's editor-inchief. Giordano was named to the position because she had a business education background and seemed to fit the job. Before that, she had been a business education teacher . Giordano commented, "I _miss the classroom - the contacts with the students." She further stated that she is not certain what she will be doing in the future, but she will not continue on at the college . Giordano said that she would like to continue work on her doctorate, with the possibility of getting a job teaching closer to Temple where she is pursuing that goal. The college is presently in the process of finding someone to fill the position of Financial Aid Director.

"The Wilkes College Debate Union has now been recognized with a proclamation from Mayor Mclaughlin, Wilkes-Barre City Council and Luzerne County Commissioners. We were also notified that on March 31, a proclamation was . read in an open ~ion of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives." Kinney noted that this was the first time in the 34 years of existence that the Union was recognized by the state house. He commented that he is very impressed with this award. The proclamation by Mayor McLaughlin was given because of the recognition they brought to the city. "I am pleased that the State House would recognize us . I think it's one of the nicest honors given to Wilkes. It shows that the program not only serves the college, but also the community. Apparently, from this document, we serve the state also. " Collen Gries, President of the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of Phi Kappa Delta, commented, "It is interesting to note that the Debate Union has now been recognized by the Mayor of the city of WilkesBarre, Wilkes-Barre City Council, SG Badget Discass~d by Louis Czachor The Student Government 198182 budget was a major topic C't conversation at the SC meetin1 the past two Monday nights. According to a proposed budget the Amnicola would not receive the full amount its staff had requested although it would get more than last year. This forms the largest part of the budget which would total $97,000 . Under the terms of the proposed budget most other groups would get as much or slightly less than last year's funding . . It was noted that by increasing the student activities fee by one dollar the Amnicola could get as much as they requested . The representatives were instructed to ask their fellow students how they would feel about a one dollar increase. Loretta Martin commented that people are alread y upset about the tuition increases and they would prefer that any other increases be kept at a minimum . Dana Shaffer added that everyone he talked to was opposed to any increases . Marla Brodsky noted that some were in favo r of an increase if it will benefit the students, while others wondered what all their money was used for now, and yet others said the activities fee is fine the way it is . SG president Ana Nunez asked the body for a vote of confidence as to whether or not an increase should be considered . A motion was made to proceed in drafting a budget which will include a $50 student activities fee. All but two of the representatives were in favo r of this pr_oposal. The budget will be discussed again at next week's meeting. In other business, a vote of confidence was given last week to a statement on student righ ts. Former SG president Joe Galli presented it to the Student Affairs Council of the Board of Trustees la~t Tuesday. The student rights will be discussed and evaluated . Ana Nunez announced that a decision has been made concerning ~he appointment of a parliamen:arian for SC for next year. Rob Doty will fill that position. Regarding the film committee, Elaine Kerchusky reported that $25 was collected from the showing of "Jesus Christ Superstar. " She also noted that the fil m this week' will be shown this Sunday, April 26 at 9 :00 p.m . in SLC 101. 'fhe movie will be "A Little Rom;rnce." Under other news, Chris Lain announced that there wili be a Walk-A-Thon fo r the March of Dimes this Sunday beginning at 10:00 a .m. on the square. She urged everyone to take part. Also, Dean Hoover requested that anyone interested in working as an usher fo r commencement on Sunday, May 18 should let him know. Interested parties are asked to write their name, address, and phone number on a three by five card and leave it at his office. Under fund requests last week the Biological Society was granted $123 fo r their end of the year gettogether . The Strutters were also given $225 for the purchase of five new uniforms. Both requests passed unanimo usly. Additionally, $1129 was given to IRHC by a vote of 14-3-1. It will be used to send about 15 people to a conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls. Last week the veteran's club requested $475 to attend a softball tournament, but no representative of the club showed up to give a second reading of the request this week. Also, this week a request was made by the wrestling club for $50040 help run a boxing ring on Tuesday, April 28 at 8 :00 p.m . Money raised by the event will benefit the George Elliot Scholarship fund . It will be sponsored by the Political Science Club. The last SC meeting of the yea r will be held next Monday at 6 :30 pm. in Weckesser Hall. SG's annual summer meeting has been scheduled for the weekend of July 17. Luzerne County Commissioners and even by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, but our own school has not recognized or supported the accomplishments and efforts of the Debate Union. In the course of eight years, the Debate Union has won a total of 397 awards with 22 consecutive victories. Kinney also stated that they are ranked eleventh in the nation and have the reputation on the debate circut of being a welldisciplined team . "In fact, " Kinney commented, "other coaches expect to see Wilkes in the top three. " Fred Deets, Captain of the Debate Union, commented, "We are proud of the fact that we are the most award-winning organization on campus. " Would You Believe ... A "steal estate" caper? It all started when police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, picked up a pair of alleged burglars. A man and woman responded to a "house for sale" ad at the home of a Tulsa woman . They toured the house and left, and the woman noticed that some jewelry and cash had also left with them . So, she spent three hours on the phone with others who had their houses up for sale. The next day, a couple matching the description showed up at another Tulsa home, which had been on the phone-call list. Police were notified, and minutes later the suspects were in custody reportedly with some stolen jewelry in hand . And then there's the burglar who slipped through the window of a Salt Lake City courtroom early one morning. He climbed back out wiht some cash and two electric typewriters. However, he did leave a sort of payment behind: instructions on how to make the courtroom burglar-proof. (Obtained through WCLH and Associated Press Teletype.) AR t.~ i 6.

IRHC Has Successful Year IRHC , changing from IDC last year, began enthusiastically its first semester under the newly given name. Responsible for the name change was the 1980-81 IRHC President, Janine Tucker • who along with the councjl, can be credited with various changes and activities for the students on campus. A synopsis of last last semester's Inter-Residence Hall Council activities are: Ugly Picture Contest, Halloween Party, Smoke-Out Day, Christmas Caroling, Ice Skating Party, Christmas Party, Dorm Decorating Contest, and attendance at the Regional MCURH convention at Rochester Institute of Technology. This semester, IRHC again managed a sizable accumulation of credits. The long awaited new meal card system went into effect as a i:esult to the many complaints revised constitution clearly defines the rules, regulations, and goals of IRHC. The IRHC Executive Council awarded residence halls and students for outsta_nding work with IRHC. They selected Sterling Hall and the Hotel Men as Outstanding Residence Halls for their exceptional participation in IRHC . Also, Bruce .Williams and Marge LeBalnc were chosen Outstapding IRHC Representatives for the year. President Janine Tucker and the executive council deserve congratulations for the many changes, co·ntributions, and activities they sponsored and promoted over the paS t year. by Doug Fahringer about the unauthorized persons eating meals that board students pay for. In response to the recent water shortage, IRHC offered a suggestion to the dining service. The suggestion was to use paper materials for breakfast. This method, still in use, was a student suggestion at one of the food committee meetings. IRHC also sponsored a Fifties Sock Hop and cosponsored, with Commuter Council, the Valentine's Party and the St. Patrick's party both of which were very successful. In addition to these events, IRHC devised a Residence Hall Survey for all residence hall students . This survey was made in order to receive feedback from the students of their opinions on the desirable and undesirable features of the residence halls . The organization also adopted a new proposed IRHC constitution. The by John Finn This semester Commuter Council made significant progress in several areas that have benefited the entire college community, and at the same time have provided a strong foundation on which next year's Council can build. Under the leadership of President Bill Miller, and with the aid of a strong executive council and an effective committee system, problems were side-stepped or solved skill fully and innovatively.

The Social Committee's decision in January to jointly sponsor major events with the IRHC is one of the innovations which will insue future interaction between the two groups. The college administration's decision to move the CC office from W eckesser to the Student Center tested the Council's ability to handle those little, unexpected problems in life. Although at first the plan was strongly opposed, when the relocation actually took place in late February the Council began to realize that the benefits a c tuall y outweig hed the drawbacks. The new office plac,es the Council closer to their constituency, and right on top, so to speak, of events in the student center itself. Also, if long range plans are realized, eventually the student center will bring SC and an office of IRHC under the same roof, together with other organiza- 825-5037 •~--------- tions on campus, thereby creating a true Student Union building. Other benefits were the new office rug, and as one member put it, "In Weckesser, you couldn't run downstairs for a doughnut." The appointment of a chairman for the newly formed Apartment Committee will be an important decision for next year's CC president. The Apartment Committee ·was created this semester when Bill Miller realized that Wilkes was lacking any type of organization that would represent apartment dwellers, who are commuters. This committee will need strong leadership in order to establish the group and insure its survival, but equally vital will be the participation of students who are living in, or looking for, an apartment. The committee will post updated listings of apartments available in the area, but more importantly it will provide students with the opportunity to share their experiences about apartment life and other advice to others.

Ana served this year as parlimentarian, and did aboveaverage work in that capacity. Next year she will be SC president, and she has already taken on the responsibilities of that office. Over the last three years, Nunez has served on many committees, often as chairperson. She has also gained the reputation as thoughtful, hard-working, mature student leader . Committees Much of the work done by Student Government is taken care of · by its committees. Often a committee is only as strong as its chairperson. The Travel Committee is a perfect example of a committee with a strong chairperson. Tom Rooney was responsible for the organization of trips sponsored by SG. The trip to HersheyPark in the fall was regarded as a success, as was th~ Florida trip during spring break. Rooney's "Renew those tanlines" campaign for the spring trip could only have helped make it a success. The film committee was chaired by Elaine Kerchusky .

Vicepresident Marla Brodsky proved to be a big help in the management of SC. Brodsky never rests. She is full of energy and enthusiasm, and she always gives her help for any SC project. . Tom Rooney was the treasurer, and although there were several weeks when he gave oral treasury reports, he always made sure that the treasury was in good shape. Recording secretary Elaine Kerchusky wrote minutes in an unusual manner. Her laid-back style, combined with humor, made the minutes interesting + yet accurate.

It is a strange feeling - almost like a rebirth. I should know. I am one of those people. At first, I viewed this reassumed responsibility as a curse, for I was looking forward to a sort of R & R, while someone else handled all the headaches, worries and gripes. As the semester progressed, I realized how fortunate I was to have this second opportun!ty. The Beacon Staff had a chance to really unify our efforts by building on our first semester's mistakes. Except for a few instances, there was a real sense of teamwork on the staff this semester, that was absent the first semester. Everyone pulled together and produced what I believe to be a series of very good publications: . Throughout this year, we have tried to maintain a serious outlook on the campus - for rarely is news humorous. We also tried to keep a consistent editorial policy of fairness, right to critize and objectivity. In addition to these, the secon_d semester we changed the look of the Beacon doing a~ay with a cover picture. This semester has been a milestone for everyone on the staff. We have survived severe staff rearrangements, equipment breakdowns at the most inopportune moments, a shortage of news and money, and almost any other kind of afflication one can imagine. But we made it. The 1980-1981 Beacon editorial staff can be proud of itself, for I don't believe that there has ever been such a tumultuous year for the Beacon in college history. Hopefully, this attitude of accomplishment and survival will carry into next year - making for an even bigger and better Beacon. Next year;s staff is very capable and I feel comfortable knowing that the Beacon is in safe hands. The editors are bright people - an overall top-notch crew. The Beacon will benefit from experience in the news and sports departments, talent and creativity in features~ overwhelming competence in the business department, and CC's loss was the copy department's gain. All together they should be great. Now that next year's staff is settled (well almost), it is time for us soon-to-be-alumni to plan our lives after graduation. (Is there life after Wilkes?) Someone once asked me where ex-Beacon editors went after graduation . While I was tempted to say "Damnation in the eternal fire," I resisted and tried to remember the alumni editors that I'd known. I realized then that if precedence has any value, I'll be proud to follow in the footsteps of those who have served as Beacon editor-in-chief before me . As for the negative elements of being a Beacon editor, there were many . However, Mother always told me, "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all ." For once I will listen to her and remain silent. Besides there isn't that much room on this page. Finally, thanks to all those who helped me this past through the daily Beacon trauma'.s this past year - you know who you are . And to those of you who didn't help, but only .tried to hurt in any way you could, I will apply Mother's philosophy and say nothing, for you know who you are, too. To the class of 1981, Good Luck! See you on the 17th. With this last issue of the academic year, Patti Sparlow, a senior communications major, officially ends her two-semester term as Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon. Knox Thanks Fellow Commuters; Asks For Student Involvement To the commuting students of Wilkes College: First, I would like to thank everyone who supported me in my bid for Commuter Council President. The memories of a long, hard campaign, meeting and talking to many _fellow-commuters, pledging to promote various commuter interests, and the sweet thrill of victory (especially the victory party!! ) will stay with me forever. Words can not accurately describe my gratitude for your confidence in me. Second, I would like to thank my opponent, Amy Elias, for an exciting race. Together, we have achieved a victory in picking up interest in Commuter Council, as evident in the record-setting voter turnout for the election. We can now cultivate that interest to make the upcoming year one of the most fruitful years ever for commuters. Third, I pledge my devotion to the commuters of Wilkes College. Together, we will make a difference, and let me assure you, that difference will be felt! There is one catch, however: I need your involvement! I If we are going to im•prove the quality of campus life for commuters, we must get commuters involved on campus . Commuter Council will provide the potential, but we will all have to pull together to realize that poten- tial. I am looking forward to a successful year. Finally, I would like to wish you all a great summer! To the graduating class of '81, we've enjoyed working with you and wish you all the best of luck. To those of us who will be returning in the fall, get plenty of rest over the summer because you are going to need it! Yours, Joe Knox C. C.

LETTERS Chairman Gries Reuiews Purpose Of C&F Board To the Editor: An open letter to all majors of the Commerce and Finance Department: Last September, Dr. Howard Williams, Chairman of the Commerce and Finance Department, asked me to institute a committee to act as a liaison between the fac ulty and all majors of the Commerce and Finance Department. With the aid of Norm Witko, this committee was form ed . Since its inception, the Commerce and Finance Department's Student Advisory Board has handled a number of comments ranging from course wo rk, faculty member's policies toward testing, the department's re-evaluation on their policy regarding Co-Op to maintenance complaints about Parrish "Hall. The Committee has also laid the pathwork for a Business Internship program . Under the direction of Rosie Codora, Joe Chmiola, and John Cooney, this program should start to get off the ground next fall. In order to determine the strengths and weakneses of the Commerce and Finance Department, the Student Advisory-Boad, under co-chairman Norm Witko, polled alumni as to their feelings on courses, overall faculty, and a • liberal arts education. As underclassmen, why not stop in the Commerce and Finance office and look over this report. Perhaps with this foresight, you will be able to help your future career goals by using alumni guidance. . Nothing is successful without the enthusiasm and dedication of its members - and this committee 'is no exception. As chairman, I would like to thank Norm Witko,. who filled in as chairman during my 8-week Accounting Internship, and the committee members Maggie McKeown, Molly Sammon, Betty DeCosmo, Kirk Foreman, Martha Mazzitelli. Karen Shinn, Bill Koscenski and Jon Pliskin . Next year's committee will be only as successful as you make it. Watch for posters regarding membership and meetings. If you have a comment and want to remain anonymous, just speak to a committee member or next year's co-chairpersons Maggie McKeown and Molly Sam mon. The Committee personally guarantees that if requested, your name won't be brought up . Remember - in order fo r the Commerce and Finance Department to grow and progress, the lines of Communication must be kept open. Use the Student Advisory Board!

As the head coach, and former player, of the lacrosse team , I would like to take this opportunity to support the team and offer arguments why the college should maintain the program. I have played lacrosse for Wilkes for two years and have coached for one year now . In that three years, I never once saw anyone from Weckesser Hall in attendance at our games, to include President Capin and Dean Hartdagen . It is beyond me how someone who does not even follow or support an athletic team can be in a position to decide if it should continue. The lacrosse team is a tradition at Wilkes. It is on of the few teams that has had a winning season every year since its formation. Recently, the administration expressed a desire to become an Ivy League school. I wonder if they know that every school in the Ivy League has a varsity lacrosse team, and that they are one of the major programs. Because our lacrosse team cannot give scholarships, lit is apparent that the players keep coming out because they love the sport and they support the college. As with evert team, the lacrosse team is a closely knit bunch of guys. It is obvious that they want the program to continue, for if they didn't I would not be writing this article. But enough of the intangibles. Let's get down to facts. When my assistant coach, Bill Abrams, and I heard rumors that this might be our last season, we went straight to the horse's mouth . On Wednesday the 15th, we met with President Capin. To begin with, Mr. Capin did not even know who we were . Sure, he knew we were the coach- SENIOR WEEK SCHEDULE EVENT PLACE TIME MAY13 Wednesday Dinner-Dance Woodlands Inn 6:30 p.m. Wilkes-Barre Members of the Class of 1981 attend the Dinner-Dance as guests of th,e college and must obtairi their tickets at the bookstore before May 11.

Is the administration also willing to risk the contributions and influence of these alumni? The athletic department claims they cannot find a full-time coach. Wrong. Bill Abrams has his M .B.A. , is eligible to be a faculty member/coach, and has vividly expressed this to both President Capin and Mr. Reese. Available coaching is not the problem . Administrative apathy and insensitivity is. There are currently petitions in circulation which each student and faculty we have approached have signed. I feel it is safe to say that if the decision to cut the lacrosse program is made, that the entire student body will loose its respect for the administration and athletic department . I have said all I can in defense of the lacrosse team . Careful research will revewl that this evidence is sufficient, and that it is in the best interest of the college to let the program continue. In closing, I would like to say that our last home game of the season is this Saturday at 2:00 . I urge the student body to please come out and support your team . Additionally, since there is no school on Saturday, I see no reason why the entire staff at Weckesser Hall cannot attend this game . If you do not, then your reasoning to discontinue the program is ridiculous and you must not care. Lacrosse is a great sport, and the players on my team have a hell of a lot of character and dedication. They deserve to be allowed to continue . Peter M.

He did not know whether we were graduates or undergraduates, or what our majors were. One would think that the President of a college would be a little more familiar with the college's staff. He then 'proceeded to talk generalities and explain that evaluating athletic and academic programs is an - ongoing process, and that we should not be surprised. So let's talk Weckesser Hall language - let's talk dollars and cents . The salaries for the lacrosse coaches total $1050.00. We received $110.00 gas and food for each of our 6 away games. About $300.00 was spent on new equipment. So we'll be generous and say that the school spent $2300.00 this year for lacrosse. Next year our returning players will contribute $111,200.00 in tuition, room and .board to Wilkes . In addition, at least 10 students have expressed to me that they plan to participate next year . Furthermore, we will doubtless get incoming freshmen and transfers to play, as we do each year. I myself was a transfer student, coming here knowing that Wilkes had a lacrosse team. It seems rather ridiculous that President Capin and Dean Hartdagen want to sacrifice this $111 ,200.00 · plus, for the $2300.00 a year it takes to run the team . I can personally guarantee that if there is no lacrosse program at Wilkes, every one of my players willl consider transfer, and Wilkes will loose this money! They will also loose potential players.

Sibiya A recent bill sponsored by the Third World nations in the United Nations Economic, Scientific and Cultural Organization calls for a radical change in the reporting and newspaper world. The sponsors of the resolution want reporters on foreign assignments to be issued with cards which will allow them to do their work but which can be withdrawn if it is felt that their reporting is unethical, overly biased, or slanderous. The Third World nations concerned are aggravated by many aspects of in t ernational, particularly Western, reporting of Third World news. A survey conducted by a group concerned with the just and ethical dissemination of news and unbiased reporting recently reveled that most stories on the Third World which appear in Western news media are on negative things - Idi Amin, Emperor Bokassa, Muammar Qaddafi, Indira Gandhi's sterilization programme, Pakistan's corporal punishment of those guilty of imm orality, famines, wars and massacres. The same group reports that proWestern dictators enjoy cozy image protection, while uncouth deeds perpetrated by pro-Western nations get no more than a few vague lines, as in the case of Reza Pahlavi, Anastasio Somoza, the El Salvadotian junta, Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, South Africa, Zaire have adequately and still do, demonstrate. A prominent American newspaper editor approached by a major newspaper on this iss econceded that the Third World has a strong case in this matter. Offering an explanation for the lopsided reporting, he said · that this is the kind of news people want to read; that the media would go bankrupt if all that was printed were positive . The same person was however opposed to the resolution Plant a Seed for your Future at 1 0 H V 8 V SUNY-BINGHAMTON 8 V .L Summer Session 1981 sponsored b-y the Third World on grounds that it could be used to erode the freedom of the press and give dictators and other political undesirables protection from expo-_ sure. The Third World view on this is different. A Jamaican government official attributes this to ethnocentricity, historical arrogance and the adage that if it sells it is right. Still another Third World intellectual, this time a psychologist, attributes it to the fact that any group always wants to feel better than another, and what better way is there to do it than throui h the news media? Wherever this case will end, it is generally true that most stories on Third World nations which one sees in the Western press are of a highly undesirable nature. To print constantly negative stodes is in itself not wrong, but to use it as a means to a morally questionable end is totally unjustifiable. Freedom of the press, like any other freedom, is granted on condition that such freedom will not be used to undermine the happiness, security and freedom of others. When any freedom exceeds its limits then it has to be curbed, and this is precisely what the press is doing in certain areas of the world . ..

If so you're probably familiar with that favorite pastime and necessity we all know, love and hate by the word 'driving.' Prompted by columnist Amy Elias' utterly amusing portrayal of the rigors of mass transit commuting (Beacon, March 20), this writer has no choice but to respond to her assertion that a car would be the ultimate solution to the problem of commuting. Unless you are an avid 'people watcher, " riding a bus to and from school is not a particularly enjoyable event. However, it is not a good idea to elevate the convenience of diring to a point nearing nirvana (which she kind of almost pointed out). It must be asserted here that driving to school is no picnic; and at times it can be sheer agony. Besides, ins't driving under the influence of nirvana against the law anyhow? Mentioned in the column in question is an old man with a Rocky Racoon style World~War-I flying cap. What was not mentioned was the fact that this man drives a car. When he isn't standing around Public Square waiting for young college women to get their heels caught in storm sewer gratings, he has other devious things to do. This fellow gets into his car and waits along side streets intersecting with River Road, until about five minutes before the hour. Like a panther ready to stalk it's prey, he waits for an onrushing automobile. At the precise second, he idles his way onto the main thorough-fare just in time to make the approaching car go from 60. to five miles per hour in 4.7 seconds. The man continues on his way to Wilkes-Barre at approximately 20 miles an hour - in a no passing zone! Some students, in a desperate attempt to get to class on time, may even go so far to pass the slower driver. Usually, the slow one will not speed up, unless there's a huge tractor trailer quickly approaching in the opposite direction. If the slower vehicle is passed successfully, that means it is time for the elderly woman a few seconds down the road to decide that it is safe to cross the street. Ten minutes later, she makes it to the curb, turns around and snarles a mean-puss face expression at all the automobiles. This is just a start . ·. . · The aggrivation of driving is so great, it is impossible to completely document everything involved. There are hitch-hikers that look like exconvicts; they usually stand in the middle of the road around blind curves. The female hitch-hikers are usually·ugly - nobody wants to pick them up, but it could still ruin a guy's day just seeing them . Some of the other problems include pot holes, batteries, transmission failures, and the price of gasoline. Do you know how is feels to say, "fill 'er up" only to meekly ask the gas station attendent to stop at 25 dollars? It's even worse if you find out the next day that the gas tank or fuel line is leaking. There are traffic lights, st::;p ~! 5:1;, ~i::fi: hand turns, and the officer in front of the courthouse who always waits until you are next before he stops traffic. What about the people that come zipping down side streets and do not seem to want to stop? Gads! If they do stop, there is usually less than five feet clearance between their car's bumper and the road hog approaching in the opposite direction. Don't forget the dude in front of you who suddenly decides he wants to make a turn the split second someone on the sidewalk catches your attention. Blinkers? What are blinkers? A couple more interesting items auto-commuters have to contend with include the still sleeping driver who waits until the traffic light has been green a while before proceeding on to ,the next traffic jam. It is always "gobs of fun " being in the sixth car when the light turns red after the fifth. Don't forget thouse double parkers, construction sites, or just plain impossible situations. Don't you just love the people who try to, or won't let you, pull into the Parrish Hall parking lot? Speaking of parking lots, isn't it always amusing to think that the majority of available parking sp;.,:es Dn campus are reserved for faculty, staff and administration? For the people who are allowed to park on campus, isn't it a real 'rib-tickler' to find out an illegally parked '67 Plymouth. had just tak_t~in the last two available spaces? We could build a beautiful new d~';matory, but we can't even afford to build a new p'arking lot.~Ca,~,'i: someone arrange to have a few more neglected sites torn do_wn_? .tfoough is enough. ft should be crystal clear by now that driving to school, or anywhere for that matter, is not only expensive, but quite annoying. After getting a space in the sixth level of the parcade, most drivers have to take the zigzag journey through alleys, other parking lots and people's back yards only to see "keep off the grass" signs where trails should be accepted - or even paved. The bottom line is that commuting to school at times is a real pain in the neck. But for many commuters, the choice to go to school locally is representative at least in part by a decision to stay in the area for a few more years at least. The other choice for local students would be to leave immediately, a migration common in these parts for many years. With all its setbacks, ~his writer does not mind the idea of staying home, even if it does become frustrating to commute each day. Besides, moving away from home and living in a dorm isn't exactly a bowl of cherries. Right? �Page 8, The Beacon, April 2 4, 1981 For Erin Callahan we make everyday St. Patrick's Day .

You can pursue your education in your off-duty hours. And the Army will pay up to 75% of tuition for approved courses taken on or off post . You can also accumulate up to $8100 for future civilian education by participating in the Veteran's Educational Assistance Program. The Army also offers traning in medicine, inteligence, electronics, computer programming, and many other areas that may be· related to your field of study. If you qualify and an opening exists, your training is guaranteed in writing. Look into it. Your college credits may already have earned you higher starting pay.

An Equal Opportunity Employer �Page IO, The Beacon, April 2'4. 1981 DNLY IHE ARMY GIVES YOU TWO WAYS TO LOWER THE COST OF EDUCATION IN JUST TWO YEARS. LOAN FORGIVENESS If you have a Guaranteed Student Loan or a National Direct Student Loan (made after October 1, 1975) hanging over your head, consider spending a couple of years in the Army. If you train for certain specialties, the government will release you from 1/3 of your indebtedness (or $1,500, whichever is greater) for each year of active duty. Obviously, a three-year enlistment would eliminate 100% of your indebtedness. But you may prefer to take a shorter route and sign up under the Army's two-year enlistment option (and put 2/3 of your debt behind you). Or you might want to join the Army Reserve. If you qualify, as a Rese11rist you can stay home, get paid for your active duty, and receive 15% loan forgiveness (or $500, whichever is greater) for each year you serve. But we're not just offering you loan forgiveness. With your education, you can probably qualify for a higher rank and pay grade. You'll have your choice of many sophisticated Army skills. And you may be eligible for generous monetary educational incentives. 1WO-FOR-ONE SAVINGS PLAN If your dream is to continue your education some day, joining the Veterans' Educational Assistance Program can bring that day closer. In fact, in just two years you can accumulate up to $9,200 for grad school. (Only the Army can offer you a twoyear enlistment.) · It's not a loan, so you'll never have to worry about making payments. It's simply a savings program between you and the government.

Nelligan Discusses Financial Aid by John Finn On Sunday, April 12, United States Congressman James Nelligan visited Wilkes_ and discussed his views on college financial aid and the Reagan administration's proposed cuts in those programs. Nelligan was invited to the campus in order to give students the opportunity to voice their concerns about the possible effects of the reductions on them as individuals, but only eleven students attended. Rich Myers, director of COPUS, the group which extended the invitation to Nelligan, expre!.sed his disappointment with the poor turnout. Myers stated . "Congressman Nelligan is a supporter of the President's proposed budget cuts in college financial aid programs and we wanted to show him that students in his own district feel very differently and that these cuts spell potential disaster for many students and institutions across the country." · Mr. Nelligan gave an informal talk to the small group of students and answered many of their ques- tions. "I am very aware, thanks to students like yourselves, of the impact the cuts will have on private universities," Nelligan said. He believes that the gap which will be created by the loss of Federal grants will have to be filled by the . student, the family or a combination of both . · Mr. Nelligan said that the impact on private schools will not be as severe as is being predicted by many people, and that if it becomes necessary, "families will tighten their belts and students will get out there and work." In order to explain his feelings about the role of Federal funding for higher education, Nelligan rhetorically asked, "are people entitled to an education, ot should they have to work for it?" The Congressman, elected last fall , added, "In my campaign, I talked about making the transition from a federal based economy to a private industry based econom y. We have, in this country, become too dependent and reliant on Federally funded social programs." Nelligan concluded by pointing KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER •Boys , students and mens Dickie Work Pants in l Odifferent colors. •Largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the valley . •Large selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkas , Field Jackets, Pee Coats and Flannel Shirts. out that "none of the education programs are going to be eliminated, but all of them are going to be cut somewhat."

For the most part, the films went over well. Rob Doty and Chris Fellin serv- . ed as chairpersons of the Publicity and Elections Com mittee. Doty and Fellin were organized, and did their best to regulate the posting of material on bulletin boards . The committee should be commended for the efficient way in which the elections were run. The chairmanship of this committee has been regarded as a difficult job. To make the job easier and to increase the committee's effectiveness, President Nunez has indicated that next year there will be a separate committee for publicity and another for elections . The Academic Committee was chaired by Ana Nunez . This committee kept SC updated on campus academic affairs and helped SC formulate polic y regarding academic decisions of the college. The Social Committee was cochaired by Leigh Major and Corinna Bender. The committee was responsible for scheduling events and maintaining an updated social calendar. Also, its subcommittees sponsored a clambake and a dinner-theater in the fall , and a Fourth-of-July Weekend this spring . The dinner-theater was the most successful of the three, and is an idea worthy of further development. The Winter Weekend Committee sponsored a weekend event in February, but it was not very successful . Mike Stapleton was chairperson of the Concert Committee, which was relatively inactive this year . The committee should, however, be commended for its efforts to bring a jazz concert on campus this spring.

A few tri-organizational meetings were held during the course of the year which gave members of the three organizations a chance to work together and exchange ideas. SC also tried to change the Stark Learning Center regulations. Although SC succeeded in getting more study rooms open, it did not meet with total success. Also, SC gave its approval to a student proposal regarding new minimum cumulative and major averages . The proposal was used as a basis for the policy later approved by the faculty . Another successful venture was the used book store. In both semesters, students were given the opportunity to sell their old books and purchase used ones. The store was well run and provided an excellent student service. One not-quite-so-successful venture was the Small School Convention. After months of planning and a great deal of work, the convention was cancelled only da-ys before it was scheduled to begin. It was too bad that there was not enough interest in this worthwhile project. A more successful project was the Leadership Workshop . This gave members of SC, as well as other student leaders, a chance to improve their leadership skills. SC also adopted a Bill of Student Rights . It has been presented to the administration for approval , but that approval has not yet been given. A policy on student advising has also been presented to the administration. That policy is currently beilig reviewed . For the most part, the representatives of sc· have shown interest in their work, and have voiced their opinions at meetings. All in all, it was indeed a year of growth, and as long as SC continues to learn from its mistakes it will continue to grow and im- prove. If everything goes right, next year is going to be great.

The program started on NBC in 1966 after it was turned down by CBS for "Lost in Space". Once it found a network, the show had a tough time finding a good viewing night. It spent most of its network rtin time on Fridays at 10 p .m. Even an X-rated movie starring Loni Anderson would be hard pressed to pull viewers at that time. After two years the show was cancelled, and that's where the "Story of Star Trek" begins. NBC found itself waist deep with mail protesting the cancelling of the show. A national movement was started to save the show, and it still exists today. The Trek fans saved the program for one more season, but finally NBC laid it to rest in 1969 . Then it went into syndication , and is still seen throughout the country and the world today. The fans formed a national cult, published newslet- Webster Move Over ... For Steno Speech Planning to go into the real world soon? Hopefully you 've learned enough in college to enable you to compete in the job market. But once you do get a job , you might find it difficult to understand some phrases used in the business world , even those that are used quite often. So , for the benefit of all the educated persons here who wish to gain an in-depth knowledge of office definitions , here follows a short list compiled by the American Revoluti~n Bicenteninal Administration researchers from offices all over America: - ' 'Under Consideration'' - (Never heard of it.) - "Under active consideration " - (Dig the stuff out of the files, quick.) - " We are making a survey"-(We need more time to think u p an answer.) - "Note and initial" -(Let's spread the responsibility for th is.) - "It is in process " -(So bogged down in red tape that the situation is almost hopeless .) - ''To implement a program'' -(Hire more people , expand the office.) - " Give us the benefit of your thinking"-(We'll listen to what yo u say, but it won't interfere with what we have already decided.) - ' 'Forwarded for your consideration '' -(You hold the bag awhile .) Here is part of a "personnel memo" about checking office activity: "If, after several hours , any employee has not been seen to move or open at least one eye, the Department Head should investigate. Because of the nature of some employees and the close resemblance between death and their normal working habits , the investigation will be made quietly to avoid waking the employee if he or she is asleep . " If real doubt exists as to the true condition, a paycheck will be issued as a final test. If the employee fails to reach for the check, it is reasonable to assume that death has occurred. " In the event that any employee fails to abandon whatever he is doing when it comes time for the coffee break, no investigation is necessary, as this is conclusive proof that rigor mortis has set in . On other business matters : - " Salesman 's claims for performance should be multiplied by a factor of O. 2 5.'' - " Manufacturer 's specifications of performance should be multiplied by a factor of O. 5. " • - '' All delivery promises must be multiplied by a factor of 2.0.' ' - " If more than one person is at fault or responsible for a miscalculation, no one will be-at fault. '' These definitions and hidden meanings may never appear on any exam you'll take , but they may be useful some day when you want to know the real meaning of some phrases used in the office. Around The Campus What do you like best about Wilkes? ters, and held conventions. There have been dozens of books written on the show's starts . Someone even printed and sold a complete blueprint to a life sized Enterprise. The show has appeared on network television, syndicated television, and in cartoons. Now the program is going to do something that rarely ever happens in network television , it is returning to the tube. According to a published report in T.V. Guide in their teletype section, Paramount is making plans to start shooting new episodes of the show. I don't know what use will be made of this production , but it was reported that William Shatner will return as Captain James T . Kirk, commander. This seems to fit in nicely as another chapter in the incredible story of Star Trek. I'm sure the new show will face ' a lot of problems that the movie did, and was not able to overcome. There are a lot of questions surrounding the production of a new series. Will Leonard Nimoy return as Spock? How many actors from. the orginal cast will return? Can the show avoid problems in modernization that other shows couldn't? If there is one show that can, "Star Trek" is it . Without a doubt, "Star Trek" is the most durable show of all time . With programs and movies liek "The Wild Wild West Revisited", "The Brandy Girls", "Topper", "The New Maverick", "The Return of Frank Cannon", and "The Revenge of the Munsters", one would say the oldies are still goodies . To all this I ask but one question . When will "Lost in Space" return? I always liked that show. Editor's Note: Beam them up, Scotty. · Would You Believe . ..

The team's overall record is 6-7, their MAC record is 0-2, and their NPWIAA record is 2-2. The team did have a bad week, but they also had some bad luck. Against Kings they played in very cold weather and were minus the ·services of first baseman Stacy Keeley. Shortstop Joyce Walsh suffered an injury and could not play _ against · Delaware Valley and Marywood, and she was sorely missed . The coaches were forced to ·go with a shuffled line-up, and the team had some difficulties. The team played a tough game against Upsala; as a matter of fact, they played their hearts out. Each player gave it his all, but the fact that the team only had one pitcher available probably cost them the game. Throughout the game Karen Bove had been keeping the Upsala team off balance, but by the late innings the Upsala team became more comfortable and began to hit her ptiches. The coaches wanted to bring in a relief pitcher, but there was not one available. They would have liked to show the Upsala players a different kind of pitch to hit, and make them even more confused and uncomfortable. With no relief in sight, Karen stayed in there and did her best. She deserved to-win the game, but Upsala became used to her pitches and hit her hard. The game was close from the beginning, and they won it in the late innings with a homerun. Karen Bove pitched a courageous game, and she limited Upsala to only 6 hits. Her record now stands at 2-1. The team batted .261 for the week, which was below their previous average of .426. Cocaptain Kar_en Johnson was the 4-4 this Season------ Tennis TeamEa,en by Mark James It was a fairly good year. The Wilkes tennis team may be headed toward a winning season, but the playoff picture looks bleak. In recent action, the netmen lost to a tough Scranton team, 8-1, before wiping out Susquehanna and Lycoming by scores of 7-2 and 8-1 respectively. Two matches, against King's and Baptist Bible, were postponed. The results of last Tuesday's rematch against Scranton were not available at press time. Because of an earlier loss at the hands of Elizabethtown, the Col~ onels have had to settle for second place in their MAC division. Divi-sion teams they have already beaten include Juniata, Susquehanna and Lycoming. Saturday the netmen take on their final division foe, Albright, at Ralston Field. The individual players have all been doing good, with Dave Battle putting out the best performance, sporting a 5-2 singles record. Watkinson, Manoski, Swirbel and Spevak have all collected 4 singles victories so far this season . Buchsbaum and Sezenias have been less impressive, gathering only one win each. 'Tm pleased with the progress the team's made. We had a few question marks we filled in," Coach Rokita explained. "They play up to their potential for the most part, which is good." With only a few matched remaining overall, the racketeers have a good chance to finish with an impressive record, and next year may prove to be even more promising. This year, the toughest competition has come from Scranton and Elizabethtown. In the initial game against Scranton, only co-captain Barry Spevak could muster up a Wilkes victory. _ Against a young Lycoming team, it seemed like the Colonels couldn't loes. In singles competition, all the Wilkes players won in two sets. The netmen may have swept all three doubles matches, but the team of Watkinson and Battle had some concentration problems, and Lycoming came away with its only victory of the entire contest. The final match of the season will be next Thursday, when the Colonels take on a tough Muhlenberg team . NET NOTES: For a good part of this season, senior co-captain Stanley Manoski has been hampered by a sore back . . . co-captain Barry Spevak had a slow start, but since then has been racking up the wins from the number six position. Dave Battle not only plays the best competitors, but is also the best dressed man on the courts, some say. "I try to maintain a certain image," the number one man explained. Jim Watkinson has the best quotes: "Lets play three sets, I don't want to go to History class. " Players like Buchsbaum, Sezenias are intense competitors; arid freshman Swirbel is perhaps the best prospect for the future. Not too many fans have been turning out for the matches, a typical hallmark of Wilkes sports. However, there is a squirrel in the neighborhood that makes most of the matches. It often spends its time running along the top of the court fences, d_istracting the few fans who do stop by . main offensive producer for the week as she batted .611 and drove in 11 runs. Stacy Keeley also had a good week and batted .466. This year's team is young and has little experience. The team is mostly freshmen and sophomores with one senior, Kathy -Poplawsky. However, the team has talent and, more importantly, a lot of heart and courage as shown by the game against Upsala. The ladies played evenly with a great team and only lost on a bad break. As a matter of fact, if the team had had a few more good breaks during the season, they might have had a better record. So far this season, the team has batted .359 and has held the opposition to .298. The ladies have also outscored their foes 122-103. Karen Johnson has been the big gun and has compiled .a .555 average with 28 RBl's while hitting in the clean-up spot. She has also done an excellent job behind the plate. Kathy Poplawsky, or "Pop" as she is called by the team, has amassed a .441 average with 13 RBl's while playing third, short, and second. First baseman Stacy Keeley has hit at a .422 clip and has 8 RBl's. Shortstop Joyce Walsh has hit .390 and has 15 RBl's, and leads the team in extra base hits with 12. Outfielder-third baseman Kim Smith has compiled a .347 average with 13 RBl's. FOUL BALLS - The team will wind up the 1981 season with a doubleheader against arch-rival Scranton. The game will be played Holding 6-1 llecord---- Gol/ Team Impressive by Joe Rubbico Since my last communication to you, the Blue and Gold has gained 4 wins and suffered only 1 loss, raising their record to 6-1.

This week, we proudly congratulate Tony Madden and Pam Snyder for being selected male and female Athletes of the Year. Both Tony and Pam have been team leaders throughout the year with great proficiency in their respective sports that exemplifies not only the quality of their potential, but also the excellence of their endeavors. In them, one can see the formidible strength, poise, and character n~ary to quality athletic ,competition. It takes desire to accomplish excellence; we11 let their accomplishments explain the intensity of t1ieir determination. Tony Madden, a junior accounting-major from Pringle, Pa., can best be described as an all-around athlete. This year he excelled in both football and basketball, and it is obvious that both teams' coaches are glad to have him around. Football Coach Rollie Schmidt calls Tony "an outstanding young man" and basketball Coach Ron Righter describes him as "a gifted athlete . . . ready to play every second he's on the court." It is no wonder both coaches praise his ability, because Tony's contributions to the progress of both teams has been phenominal. As a wide receiver, Tony averaged 15.7 yards a catch, his longest going for 47 yards. He was second on the team in scoring with two touchdowns, and he led the team with 34 receptions for 534 yards. Not only are his football statistics impressive, but they also explain how Tony managed to put the Colonels in good field position throughout the season. Next year, he should be almost impossible to cover one-on-one. This will play a major role in Wilkes' gridiron success. The key will be a wide open offense. Tony Madden Two weeks after the football season ended this year, Tony took to the courts as co-captain of the basketball team. He missed a month of practice because of this, but still did well in all twenty-five games this season. He made 104 of 184-shots from the field, giving him a teamleading 57.l percentage. From the penalty stripe, he shot 77 percent of his shots, going 88 for 114. Tony scored 11.8 points per game for a total 296 points, second only to Mike McCarrie in team scoring. On defense, Tony hauled in 176 rebounds, stole the ball 27 times and blocked 18 shots, finishing second best in each department for Wilkes. For the year, he had 35 assists and for next year, he has been named team captain. Word has it he is also running for mayor of Pringle. Senior Pam Snyder from Orwigsburg, Pa., is a business administration major who can best be described as an intense competitor. This year's co-captain on the Wilkes field hockey team, Pam is a prime example of the force behind women's sports competition. She puts much effort into fulfilling excellence in athletic performance, and her record over this and the past three years speaks for itself. In her four years at Wilkes, Pam has scored a total of 29 goals with 13 assists for a grand total of 42 points. In her first two years she lead the team in scoring with 8 goals and 3 assists as a freshmanL B E A C A MP COUNSELOR A fun experience .

As a junior, she scored 6 goals with 3 assists, and this year she scored 6 goals with 2 assists. The key to her succe$, however, is not just being able to score points. It's the quality of her play that makes Pam stand out on the hockey field. ''She has the strongest individual skill of a player we've ever had at Wilkes," Coach Gay Meyers said. Meyers also explained the importance of Pam's prescence on the team. "Being a co-captain in a Pam Snyder rebuilding year, she's been an outstanding asset. I don't know what it would have been like without her." In addition to being a very capable athlete and team leader, Pam has also given Wilkes national recognition throughout the years. This year, she had been invited to compete in the Susquehanna Field Hockey Association tournament, finishing as a first ateam all-star. From there, she competed .in the Mideast Regionals . After placing on the Mideast II team, Pam went on to participate in the national tournament sponsored by the United States Field Hockey Association. Being selected to play in the national tournament is an honor second only to a spot on the newly formed U.S . Olympic field hockey team. In each of her four years at Wilkes, Pam has been selected to four SFHA all-star teams, and in three years she has placed on Mideast Sectional teams. For each of the three years, she's gone on to represent Wilkes nationally. Finally, the Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate such players as Mike McCarrie _ and Diane Hall and all the outstanding athletes at Wilkes for a job well done. This year's Athlete of the Year decision was a tough one. All Wilkes athletes, from starters to subs, should feel proud of themselves for trying their best and enjoying their sports.

It seems like only yesterday that I was writing my first column and explaining what the coming year had in store for Wilkes College athletics. I! was an exciting year for myself and the entire sports staff, one of expenmentation as well as~nsistency. For the BEACON sports readers, it was a year of transition from the one-man sports reporting of Eddie White to this year's coverage by a sports department. It was a year that contained incidents both good and bad, but all educational. From day one when I took over as sports editor, I wanted to give the sports pages a new look. I wanted to include things in the sports section that would be interesting, informative, and sometimes humorous. I wanted to make the sports section a part of the BEACON that would appeal to everyone and not just the sports-mi ded people on campus. As I look back over the issues of the BEACON this year, I can see some changes I would make in the sports section and some things that I would leave as they are. I can also see·some errors that were made in reporting: ,ome blatant, some honest mistakes. But above all, I can see an honest attempt was made by every member of the sports staff to bring the best poaible sports coverage to the Wilkes College campus. It is without a doubt that the best feature in the sports section this year . was"Athlete of the Week." This was a feature which was very difficult to complete, but extremely rewarding when it was finished. Because of the. strange publication deadlines this year, the entire "Athlete of the Week" feature was done in about a day and a half. This was really a rough assignment when you consider that a number of people had to be con. tacted for comments and a photograph appointment with the featured athlete had to be set up. The entire sports staff was proud of this feature for it gave credit to those athletes on .campus who distinguished themselves on the field of play. I would personally like to congratulate every "Athlete of the Week" winner, especially Mike McCarrie and Tony Madden, the only two athletes to win the award three times. I hope this feature continues, and that the athletes take as much pride in receiving the honor as the sports staff did in giving it! Concerning the other features which appeared in the BEACON sports P!ges from week to weeJ5, I must admit that I am pleased with the way they were accepted . Although a sports quiz or sports calendar are not the most important part of a sports section, I believe that they added a fresh flavor to the pages. The calendar kept the campus up to date on sporting · events while the quiz allowed the sports geniuses in the area to test their sports knowledge. Without a doubt, the biggest problem which the sports department faced this year was the lack of space. Because of the budget problems the BEACON suffered, the entire newspaper was cut back to an eight page isue for a good part of the year. Eight pages are simply not enough to cover all the events happening on campus. Also, in an eight p age paper, the sports department gets only two pages, which is way short of the space needed to cover all of the athletic events. Considering the problems we had, I feel that the coverage of sporting events this year was very good . E ach writer assigned to a sport did the job that was required of him or her. Although some stories were severely edited or even eliminated from some issues, no coach on this campus can say that their sport was totally ignored or edited unfairly. I was extremely happy with the amount of coverage that women's athletics received this year . I think I can honestly say that this was the first year in a long while that stories concerning women's sports were of the same number and length as that of men's sports stories. My goal at the beginning of the year was to give women's sports as much coverage as men's contests and I believe that I achieved this goal sufficiently. There are a number of people that made my sports editorship a memorable experience and I would like to give these people the credit they deserve. For the most spectacular individual play, Vince Savoca gets my vote for his last second field goal against Susquehanna University. For the most consistent player of the year, Mike McCarrie leads the field. Mike was solid in all aspects of his game, every game. Finally, for his overall athletic ability which amazed me both on the. football field and the bastketball court, Tony Madden is truely one of the best athletes to wear the Colonels' colors. There are a number of people who helped ~e in my sports reporting that I would like to thank as well. A very special thanks goes to each and every member of my sports staff for an outstanding job all year. Every one of them completed their assignments on time and with the greatest of writing ability. A special thanks goes to my assistant Dave Capin for filling in when I needed him ; His loyallty and knowledge of athletics was a true assest to the sports department. A special thanks goes to Eddie White for help throughout the year in all types of sports matters. His experience as sports editor and his knowledge of athletics proved to be a real help to me this year. I would finally like to thank my readers for taking interest in both my column and the sports section. Although they did not always agree with what I wrote, they proved to me that they at least read the articles, which is the most important thing of all. · I am going to miss writing for the BEACON and being a part of the hustle and bustle which goes along with being an editor. to Mark and Ellen, I :wish the best of luck and hope they have as much fun next year as I did this year.

Athle te Of The Week by Mark James Another prime example of a gifted athlete is this week's Athlete of the Week, Bob Miller, a former standout for Pittston Area . Bob has been putting out some fantasti· performances for the Colonels this year, and his powerful pitching has proved to be invaluable to · Coach Kaschak's baseball team. Bob has been hurling his way to victory all season. So . far, his record stands at 4-1, and it looks like he is on his way to a productive and winning season. Earlier this year, Bob hurled his way to a Wilkes 6-1 victory over Susquehanna. While holding the opposition to only one run, he struck out three while walking only two. In a double header against Albright, Bob came into the second game with an impremve 1.41 earned run average. The Colonels needed a win after losing the first game. Wilkes exploded for a 14-4 victory, but with Miller pitching, Albright didn't have a chance. Two of Albrights four runs were unearned. In the second game, Bob allowed only seven hits, struck out five, and walked only one. Congratulations Bob for making it tough for the opposition to come close. Since he's only a sophomore, it looks like Bob has a good career ahead of him on the mound for Wilkes. Editors note: Because of some difficulties in meeting deadlines and some space problems, the .t\.thlete of the Week featu re this week is shorter than we would like. This is not a reflection on the athlete's performance, but is a technical problem that could not be overcome. Colonels Sweep Bloomsburg For 15-9 Slate by Peter Steve Da~ Englehart had a strong game while senior Jim Kearney struck out seven and walked three as the Colonels of Coach Dave Kaschak swept a doubleheader from Bloomsburg College, 4-1 and 13-12 in Bloomsburg. Englehart scored a run in the first inning when Jerry Antosh hit a single to force the run across. The Colonels added three more runs in the third inning when Joe Malat~ta and Englehart scored on a Husky thro"Ying error after reaching base with singles. Cocaptain Chick And rewscavage scored the final run of the inning on a ground out. The nightcap was a high scoring game as the Colonels outlasted the Huskies to gain a 13-12 victory. With the Colonels tra ling by a score of 9-5, Malatesta .and Englehart drew consective walks with the bases loaded forcing two ,runs across. Chick Andrewscavage followed with a two-RBI single to SAFE! Dale Englehart beats the throw to home plate in recent Coionel action. The ball is visible along the right edge of the photo. tie the game at 9-9. Jerry Antosh followed with an RBI single and Chris DaRe pushed across two more runs to give the Colonels a 12-9 lead . The Colonels were able to pull off the win in the second game when Joe Malatesta hit a sacrifice fly to score Glenn Demarris in the sixth inning. Joe Grzenda picked up the win for the Colonels with relief help from Bernie Radecki. The two game sweep lifts the Colonels over-all record to 15-9. The Colonels have six games remaining and a chance to end their season with a 21-9 season record. Two doubleheader matchups with Scranton and Juniata may well decide the playoff possibilities of the Blue and Gold for this year. The team has been playing in some tough luck lately with a number of one run games falling into the wrong column for the Colonels. Pitcher Jim Kearney has had a couple of rough games with the team coming up short in the scoring department every time "rainbow" takes the mound. Pitcher Bob Miller has· turned out to be the stopper on the staff as he has held his opponents to low scores the majority of times he has worked . The bats of the Colonels continue to work at a very efficient pace, scoring runs almost at will. Co-captain Chick Andrewscavage again leads the team in the batting department as he has done in the past. Dale Englehart, Chris DaRe, and Joe Malatesta manage to reach· base with great frequency allowing the big bats the opportunity to collect the RBI's . The Blue and Gold has a couple of key games and will need to put everything together to gain the wins. Under the direction of coach Dave Kaschak, a co~ch who will literally give a guy the shirt off his back, the team should be in fine position for a playoff bid. Good luck guys and swing for the fences! NOTICE The Second Annual George Elliot Memorial Boxing Exhibition will be held on April 28, 1981.

No. 24 April 10, 1981 Congressman James Nelligan To Speak, Answer Questions by John Finn United States Congressman James L. Nelligan, Republican Rep_r~sentative . fr? m P_enn_wlvama s 11th D1stnct, will vISit Wilkes this Sunday, April 12, at noon . Nelligan is scheduled to speak for one-half hour in Stark 101 and then answer questions from students. The Congressman was invited to campus on March 28th by COPUS (the Coaliation of Independent College and University Students) , according to Rich Myers, the executive director of that group. "We wish to give students a chance to ask questions of the Congressman and find out how he feels about issues concerning students, especially financial aid. " Nelligan will speak on a number of different topics, including the status of financial aid bills in Washington. In a letter responding to Myers' urging Nelligan to support adequate funding for next year's Pell and BEeG grants, the Congressma n wrote, "I fully recognize the need to cut federal spending; however, I have some major concerns about the rapidity of the proposed changes in student aid programs, which would affect students who would begin the new school year in September - and in some cases, students who are planning to go to summer school." Myers said local media will be invited for the event. He stressed, however, the importance of student involvement. SA TScores............... ~ ............................................ . Wilke s Above National Average Despite national trends, SAT scores of incoming students at Wilkes College appear to have stabilized and may even be increasing. Since the College Board began publishing an annual report in 1972, scores on both the verbal and mathematics portions of the widely used test have steadily declined. However, the scores had appeared to level off in 1977 and 1978. Dr. Gerald K. Wuori, Dean of Admissions, explained that nationally average SAT verbal scores fell five points from their levels in 1977 to the levels in 1980 . During that same period, SAT mathematics scores fell four points. Referring to the verbal scores, Wuori pointed out that the average score for incom ing fres hmen at Wilkes in 1978 was 442 .94 . In 1979 the average was 428.44, and in 1980 the average was 433 .06. Nationally, verbal scores fell from 429 in 1978 to 424 in 1980, so students here have managed to maintain verbal SAT scores that are slightly above the national average. Look in g at the SAT mathematics scores, Wuori noted that in 1978 the average score for Wilkes freshmen was 490 .68. The average score dropped to 464.84' in 1979, and then picked up to 480.93 in 1980. Nationally, SAT mathematics average scores fell from 468 in 1978 to 466 in 1980. In the . mathematics portion of the Kirby Hall · Receives . Urban Quality Award by Louis Czachor Within the past year, Kirby Hall has been renovated and beautified and the focal com·munity has taken notice of this fact. The City of · Wilkes-Barre has presented the college with an Urban Quality Award because of the improvements made to Kirby Hall. Dean of External Affairs Thomas Kelly explained that the city has a program in which these awards are presented to recipients selected by the city's art jury. The purpose of the awards are to " recogn ize those individuals, businesses, and institutions who have made significant visual improvements to their properties." A certificate presented to Dr. Kelly and Dean of Management Andrew Shaw reads in part, "In recognition of those special efforts and splendid results to enhance and improve the aesthetic and en1vironmental qualities of _urban life in the City of Wilkes-Barre, including the civic committment and substantial contribution in support of the restoration, reconstruction, and revitalization of our city." In addition to the certificate, the college was presented with a p0lished aluminum "Q" which can be hung on the wall of a building. Kelly noted that the city also presented Urban Quality Awards to two other recipients. They are The Station restaurant, and the Hart Realty building at the corner of Northampton and South Franklin Streets. SAT, as well as in the verbal P?rtion, Wilkes students on the average have maintained scores above the national average . Wuori noted that in 1977 the College Board commissioned a blue-ribbon panel to look into the causes of the decline in SAT scores, but the panel fo und that there were no definitive answers. However, the panel felt the decreases before 1970 could be attributed to the increase in the number of women, minorities and lowincome students taking the test.

Assisting Dr. Natzke and acting as guides will be Elijah and Rita Stevens, both former residents of New York. Elijah lived in Harlem and his wife, Rita, grew up near Chinatown. Dr. Natzke organized the tour because he wanted students to get "a hands-on experience with New York. I want them to experience the transportation of New York, the lifestyles and to rub shoulders with_ the people of New Yo.r]c." When the tour reaches Harlem , their first stop will be the Harlem School of the Arts. The tour of the School of the Arts will b'e given by Mrs. Betty Allen. According to Dr. Natzke the school is a "great black cultural center" and he wants the students to "see all segments of Harlem." The next stop will ·be at the Resurrection Roman Catholic Church, where they will meet Fr. Lucas. Fr. Lucas is a well known social figure and a political activist. According to Dr. Natzke, Fr. Lucas is a "symbol of the new black movement." After the touris finished Tn Harlem·, the students will travel to Chinatown. In Chinatown they will visit the Eastern State Buddist Temple, which is one of the few temples that are open to the public. They then will meet Mr. Ricahrd Wu of the Chinese Community Center. Dr. Natzke concluded by saying, "The communities are so deverse in class, there's no way we can even scratch the surface." A chartered bus will leave the Wilkes-Barre Martz terminal at 7 a.m. and will arrive about 9:30 a.m. at Radio City Music Hall in New York. The bus is scheduled to leave New York at 7 p.m. The trip is officially being sponsored by the Sociology-Anthropology Club but is open to any one.

Kinney. by Lisa Gurka and Mary Kay Pogar On Thursday, April 2, students of Wilkes had the opportunity to vote for the leaders of the three student government bodies . The Beacon polled a crosssection of both commuter and resident students to find out whether or not they voted, and their reasons for either voting or not voting. Of the 40 students polled, 31 voted and 9 did not. One junior commen ed that he did not vote because, "The people in SG and CC are egotists who don't give a damn about the students. Things are still the same as they were three years ago. We're still parking in the same places and getting the same tickets." Another junior seemed to echo these feelings and said, "I am apathetic towards SC and CC because they seem to the apathetic (towards the students)." Two freshmen's comments were, "Vote for what?" and "Who's running?" Other students, however, were A R r.~ i Phone: m-1n1 fttt r~,ii"I •I Holff Slfflin1 ,..,,.... P.J.W. 'M N AVY 113 Sout h Main St .

Knox then called for nominations and elections of officers. Following are the results of those elections: Ed Stachowiak, Vice President; Peggy Butchkavage, Treasurer; Bev Rothery, Corresponding S~cretary; Mary Ellen Judge, Recording Secretary. In his • final assessment of the council, Miller said he felt "this semester was a little more difficult due to the office move," but he added that the move "caused the administration to realize the importance of student leaders anct the services they provide. We've seen increased communication between the administration and students," Miller said, "and we've laid the groundwork for the future . I hope the commuter council will con-· SG Selects 1981-82 Officers As Nunez Takes Over Helm tinue to innovate and provide new services for students." Miller then made his suggestions for next year's council: During tbe summer all parking applications should be done by computer so that car-pool lists might also be compiled and assimilated for use early at the start of the first semester. Miller advised that services to apartment students should be increased and said that the possibility of a meal plan for them· at the student center should be investigated by the Food Service Committee. In other business, Amy Elias announced that the last coffeehouse of the semester would be held on Tuesday, April 7. Singer Marie Dubeil was to perform in the student center. Miller said the apartment com- · mittee met last week and lists of available apartments will be compiled when all responses from local realfors are received. The apartment committee chairman will be appointed by the new President. by Louis Czachor Ana Nunez took over the position of president of Student Government at Monday night's SG meeting. Her predecessor, Joe Galli, handed his gavel to her as he administered the oath of office. She was greeted by vigorous applause as she officially became SG president. One major order of business at the meeting was the election of the other officers for the 1981-82 academic year. The elected officers immediately began their new jobs. Bob Lashock and Tom Rooney were nominated for the office of vice president, but Lashock declined the nomination. As a result, Rooney was elected to the position. Incumbent Rec rding Secretary Elaine Kerchusky was the only one nominated for her position, and she was elected to a second term. Janine Tucker, Tom Farley and Bob Lashock were all nominated for the office . of corresponding secretary, but they all declined. GALLI GIVES GAVEL - Ana Nunez, newly elected Student Government president receives the gavel from now past president Joe Galli. Ana assumed her responsibilities at last Monday's SG meeting. Joanne Rice was also nominated, and she was elected to the position. Cindy Bonham, Bob Lashock and Al Wirkman were nominated for the office of treasurer, but Bonham declined. A vote was taken and it ended in a tie. A second vote was taken arid Workman was elected. If the second vote had ended in a tie, Nunez would have had to cast a deciding vote.

Congressional Conference Commuter Council President Newly Elected IRHC Officers Installed At Sunday's Meeting by Donna Nitka Sunday's IRHC meeting began with a call to order by president Janine Tucker. After the treasurer's report was . read, Tucker turned the meeting over to newlyelected president Bill Lourie. Lourie, in turn, proceeded to call up the other newly-elected officers: Cindy Casper, vice-president; Stacy Lipman, recording secretary; Marge LeBlanc, corresponding secretary; and Don Wolfrom, treasurer. Lourie then continued the meeting by calling for the various committee reports . The Food Committee reported that the cafeteria will open for dinner a half hour earlier on Friday, April 24. This is being done to give the students an opportunity to have dinner before participarting activities. The Maintenance Committee had nothing specific to report, but stressed the fact that, in order for work to be done in a residence ·hall, the R.A. must submit a work order. . Bill Miller, of Commuter Council, pointed out that CC is trying to establish a walkway between South Franklin and South Main Streets. He stressed that this is still under negotiation. He also reported that he was pleased with the way the recent Apartment Committee meeting went.

Fund Requests Besides the request from COPUS, there were three other fund requests at the meeting. The first request was made by Dana Shaffer of the biological society. He requested $123 to help defray the cost of the society's annual end of the year gettogether. The second request came from the strutters who asked for $225 to. buy five new uniforms. It was noted that the number of women on the squad has been increased and the extra uniforms are needed. The third request was made by Janine Tucker for the conference committee of IRHC. Tucker asked for $1400 so that as many as 15 members of IRHC can attend a conference of the National Association of College and University Residence Halls at Texas A&M in May. She noted that all of the money may not be ·used, and any extra funds will be returned. The three requests will be voted upon at next week's meeting. In o~er business, Joe Galli announced that the student rights proposal which was submitted by SG to the student affairs council will be sent back to SG next week. The council found several loopholes in the proposal and other areas that needed to be amended. Ana Nunez announced that applications · are available for students wishing to serve on any SG committee, and applications will also be accepted for anyone wishing to serve on a faculty com, mittee. Nunez also announced that at next week's meeting a date will be selected for SG's annual _summer meeting. Also, she appointed Loretta Martin as chairman of a committee to purchase senior gifts for SG members. Nunez . pointed out that next week the 1981-82 SG budget will be discussed. She added that the activity fee will not be changed, so when the budget is formulated the fact that there is a limited amount of money will have to be kept in mind .

Keith Kleinman Larry Moyer �Page 4, The Beacon, April 10. 1981 Eaitorially Speal<.in9 USPS 832-080 Patti Spar/qw F,:ditor-in-Chief Congrats To Alli The "Big 3" electilms (SG, CC, IRHC) are over for this year. The student body has elected three new persons to lead them into new horizons and to help them explore novel fields ol interest. While not all of the Beacon's choices were elected to office, like the song says, "two out of three ain't bad." Now that .all of the votes aie tabulated and the winners congratulated, one more congratulations is due. Who is left to congratulate? YO" ARE . This year showed the greatest .increase in student voting in a number of years. You, really deserve a hurrah for getting up the energy to get out and vote, in this time of rampant apathy. Whether electing someone to the highest office or the lowliest charge, you as students should become more aware of what's going on in your environment. It's about- time that you were awakened to the fact that the person in that office does, in fact, affect the lives of many students directly or indirectly. While it may be· said that some of the reasons for voting were probably questionable, it's not for us to question motives. We're just glad that you're finally voting! Let's not let the spirit die. Keep up the voting and next year have an election that gives everyone something to talk about. Do you really want a Student Government, Commuter Council or InterResidence Hall Council president that's elec~ed by a majority of the minority? Perhaps the winner only received .5 % of the vote of the entire student membership, but was elected anyway because that percentage was 60 % of the voting population. Think of that the, next time you wonder just what SG, CC or IRHC does with your tuition dollars. The person handling that money was not even elected by a majority of students who are paying that money! Keep the voting interest up by showing continued support to this year's newly elected leaders, for they are going to need ' your help to make anything work for you. 1982 Class Pres. Discusses Diplomas . To the Editor: In the March 27th issue of the Beacon a very good letter was ·written by six, obviously very concerned students. The issue they addressed was that concerning diplomas. At this time I would like to be included as one of those concerned students. I have been a student at Wilkes for three years now, working very hard to reach a number of goals. One of these goals is to achieve my degree as a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Many long hours, nights with a ninimal amount of sleep, and other ·sacrifices have been made to achieve this goal. Next May all of my hard work will pay off and I want to be.able to display my achievement proudly in my diploma. True, a diploma is a piece of paper, but to us, the students, it is much more. It is a document of our success. We want it to indicate what we were successful in, not merely that we were successful. Is this too much to ask? I direct this to the administration . Look behind you, at your ~~'11 I I. New Time & Place: Sunday, April 12 9:00 p.m. In Stark I I l~~~;J~~~~~~j diploma. Aren't you proud of it? Doesn't it mean something to you? How did you feel when it was given to you? When we graduate from Wilkes we want to be able to look at our diploma and be proud of it. To quote the student's letter in the Beacon, "We as students are individuals and our diplomas should signify our individual accomplishments." To address the comment that the diploma would appear cluttered with the major, perhaps a redesigning of the diploma is the answer. Perhaps you, the administration, also made up of individuals see this issue as petty, but to the students it is important. Now for the students. I ask you . Do you want your major on your diploma? Do you want people to ask you constantly, "Bachelor of Arts in what?" or "Bachelor of Science in what? I personally want my major to stand out because it means something to me. Maybe it's selfish maybe not, but I know most of you feel the same way, I want to show off my diploma, especially my major. Let's get together, let's show the administration we do care. Let them know how we feel! You've paid good money for a good education and you've worked hard. You want people to see what you've done. The whole story isn't told in the words "Bachelor of Arts" or "Bachelor of Science", the major has to be there. One final note to the administration . Wilkes College is the only school I come to and applied to, so I was extremely happy when I was accepted here. It was one goal I had reached. I love this school and I will always defend it. I want to be proud of ,my school, but lately some issues have come up that have shaken my pride. Next year when I graduate I want to hold my head high and say, "Yes, I graduated from Wilkes College."

Further note: There are many creatures of every conceivable kind; but I, Adam, am the sole and single man." So says Adamin Mark Twain's delightful story of Eden-a.fter being entrusted with the responsibility of naming the creatures in the Garden . But then along came Eve, and that's when the trouble began. She has the knack of naming things simply "because they look like the thing." She calls a cow, "a cow," because it looks like a cow, much to the dismay of Adam who has already named it "a four-pronged white squirter. " Adam continues to have difficulty with Eve over the naming of things, including their first. child. Adam calis it a "fish" ("because, it surrounds itself with water almost every chance it gets") and wants to put it back in the pond .

The answer is yes, and Jack Klugman is a fine example. Before doing the NBC show "Quincy", Klugman won the hearts of America with his portrayal .of Oscar Madison P.S. (Pe!manent Slob). "The Odd Couple was one of the nation's top rated and criticized shows in its day. Klugman did an excellent job along with Tony Randall, and helped the show gain recognition as a fine adult comedy. Klugman was so well-liked that most people saw him as only a comedian, but he was able to overcome that problem in the part of Quincy M.E . Just bring in your resume and we'll do the rest.

RIVER STREET WILKES-BARRE , PA . •Wat lTINDIY NY TD LUXEMIOUIIG by Roya Fahmy When I attended rehearsal of Oscar WHde's "The Importance of Being Earnest, " I found myself amongst prim and proper Victorian characters enjoying •tea and truffles . The plot of "Earnest" revolves around mistaken identity, proper or improper · social circles and love . As I watched the characters all types of British humor came to mind. I saw a little of Monty Python, Professor Henry Higgins from "My Fair Lady" and a bumbling Sherlock Holmes. A brief sketch of the amusing . characters may tempt you to see the show .

In a desperate situation like that, most shows that are produced turn out to be trash . Yet, out of a garbage heap came "Qunicy". Not many viewers, including myself, thought that a show about a medical examiner would make it in the Rating's Race. Of course many budding and established people in that line of work found the show to be very realistic. With realism as a base, and some very solid scripts, the show gained as audience and good reviews from the critics. Through the whole experience Jack Klugman gained a reputation as a fine actor. This is a reputation that is well earned and deserved . Klugman was able to shed the · Oscar image, and gain a new one. Today Klugman is one of the top five male television actors in my opinion . . There _are few actors in the business that dedicate themselves completely to ' understanding a part, and the general theme of a show . Jack · Klugman is one of those few actors. The writing is some of the best on television, and it is increasingly hard to find scripts that match the level of professionalism the show's writers demand. Quincy does not always come out the winner in the end, and he do.esn't run around doing will stunts to catch the villans. The show deals with death in one sense, but doesn't rely on sorrow all the time. One would have to believe that it has raised public awareness as to how useful a Medical Examiner can be, and has made some law enforcement agencies use their M.E.'s more than before. While I may not sit and watch "Quincy every week, I do know when I take my time to watch the . show, it is time well spent. �..-u.-.7, Page 6, The Beacon, April 10, 1981 ,~.._..~__,.~,.._..~c>..-.1....,~~,.....,._..~,.._.~~~~.......... Po~ition Of Student Center Director !Blood Day Success/ull Ii Announced At Recent s CB Meeting I i by Elaine Czachor At the biweekly meeting of the Student Center Board, advisor Dean Art Hoover announced that next year the college will have a new Assistant in Student Affairs who will work with housing and the Student Center. He will be the Student Center Director, and this will be an administrative office. Commenting on this new position, Dean Hoover noted, 'Tm excited about it bec'ause I think it's something that we needed." He added, "I think it's a step in the right direction." Although the office of Student Center Board Director will be eliminated, the three Assistant Director positions will remain . Dean Hoover noted, "I think it would be important (for the new administrator) to have three topnotch assistants." The Board also decided that their selection committee for next year's officers will consist of Director Mike Canonico; Assistant Directors, Carol Benek, John Moffatt and Lisa Prokarym; Dean Hoover; Housing Director Paul Adams; and Treasurer Frank Gardner. The Board discussed the idea of the ping-pong ball machine and where it should be located. It was 'also suggested that the Student Center be open on the reading days, rather than closing on the last day of classes. Senior Engineers Build Robot by Tom Jordan .. Under the direction of Dr. Umid Nejib, the senior seminar engineering class is making a robot, an artifical intelligence device. The maldng of the robot depends on everyone in the class because the class is split into different groups which work on different aspects of the robot. Nejib stated, "This way each group depends on each other." The robot will be independent of cords and controls. That means that the robot will have to recognize different objects and shapes, and be able to distinguish what is in front of it. Dr. Nejib feels that if the robot can do simple tasks, then it will be able to do complex tasks. When the robot is completed, according to Nejib, it will be able to do surveillance and hazardous work. Nejib said that there were some complex problems concerning the weight .of the robot, an energy source and the accuracy of the artifical in- Luzerne County Bar Assoc. To Sponsor 1,au, School Day The Wilkes-Barre Law and Library Association, commonly known as the Luzerne County Bar Association, is sponsoring a Law School Day for area college students on Friday, April 24, at the Best Western Inn, North Pennsylvania Avenue and East Market Streets, in Wilkes-Barre, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. They will have representatives from each of the following law schools: Dickinson, Villanova, Delaware, Duquesne, Temple, and the University of Pittsburgh. They are inviting juniors and seniors from each of the following colleges: Bloomsburg, Bucknell, College Misericor d ia, E!ist Stroudsburg, King's, Mansfield, Marywood, University of Scranton and Wilkes. A morning session will be held on law school admissions, law studies, and career options. In the afternoon, students will be able to engage in group discussions with individual law school representatives. There is no charge for the CQnference and a free buffedunch will be provided. Students may register with their pre-law advisor, Or. Robert Freysinger. telligence device. The seminar class is designed for seniors and is "one of the most underrated courses, "according to Nejib, he added "Many students say that it is the hardest one credit they have to work for ." The seminar is a one semester course, so this phase will be completed in April. However, Nejib stated that work on a project like this "really never ends" because of the work involved. Students in the seminar class have to "get involved in the research and design. They also must aquire the right equipment and be able to explain why they picked certain material instead of other material." Despite the fact that the project is very complicated, Nejib said that students are very interested in the work and spend lots of time on it. Nejib concluded, "I usually don't say what the seminar will be about until the first day of class, but I am planning to continue this project with the next senior seminar."

The ladies defeated local foes Misericordia 9-7 and Baptist Bible 34-2 in single games and downed Juniata 17-10 in the second game of a doubleheader after losing the first 10-8. The women now have a 4-3 overall record and a 2-0 NPWIAA record, but the loss to Juniata dropped the team's overall MAC record to 0-2. Offensively the team hit exceptionally well during the week and scored an amazing total of 68 runs for an average of 17 ~ game. The entire team hit well, especially senior Cathy Poplawsky w:ho amassed a .733 average on an 11 for 15 performance. Other big hitters were Karen Bove at .642, Karen Johnson and Kim Smith at .526, Carol Hagen at .500, and Stacy Keeley at .428. On the defensive side the team also played quite well and showed more consistency. Despite their improved defensive play, the team still had brief break downs which led . to unearned runs by the opposition. _ The game against Miseric_o rdia was played at Kirby Park and was a NPWIAA contest. The ladies fro m Wilkes built an early lead and held off a comeback by the Lady Highlanders to win by 2. The big gun for Wilkes was Karen Johnson who went 3 for 4 with 4 rbi's. Also hitting well were Cathy Poplawsky with 3 for 4 and 1 rbi and Mary Jeap Farrell who went 2 for 3. Team work was the name of the game as e~erybody got into the act against Baptist Bible. The game was played at Kirby, and the ladies showed their opponents no mercy. Karen Johnson again led the way with a 5 for 6 and 5 rbi performance, but she received more than adequate support from the rest of the team . Kim Smith went 5 for 7 with 3 rbi's, Stacy Keeley went 4 for 7, and Cheryl Frystak went 3 for 4 . The first game against Juniata was an official MAC contest and very important to the team. The ladies looked very impressive early on as they exploded for 8 runs in the second inning. the game seemed to be very much in control at this point, but Juniata came back KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER •Boys, students and mens Dickie Work Pants in l Odifferent colors . •largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the volley . •Lorge selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkos , Field Jackets, Pee Coots and Flannel Shirts. 10% DISCOUNT upon presentation of student ID card to score 10 runs of thei.r own in the third. After this outburst the pitching and defense took over, and both teams were held scoreless. The ladies from Wilkes had an opportunity to rally again and perhaps tie the score, but baserunning blunders halted their threat. The ladies were obviously an overall better team than Juniata, but physical and mental errors at key points in the game proved to be their downfall . The big hitter for the team was Cathy Poplawsky who went 4 for 4 with 2 stolen bases. Karen Bove and Carol Hagen each went 2 for 3 with an rbi, Kim Smith went 2 for 4 with an rbi, and Stacy Keeley and Joyce Walsh went 2 for 5 with an rbi apiece. The second game started off well for the team with 4 runs in the first, but this time their bats stayed hot throughout the game. The ladies added 3 in the second, 4 in the fifth, and 5 in the sixth. Leading the way was Karen Bove with 4 for 5 including a homerun and 2 rbi's . Cathy Poplawsky went 2 for 2 with 4 rbi's, Joyce Walsh went 2 for 3 with an rbi, Carol Hagen went 2 for 3 with 2 rbi's, and Kim Smith and Trish Riley each went 2 for 4 with an rbi apiece. FOUL BALLS - The team is beginning to look like General Hospital with injuries to Annie Reilley and Mary Jean Farrell. An.nie fractured her collarbone after making a super shoestring catch in leftfield. Mary Jean is out with a chronic knee injury, and they both will be out indefinitely. The team will sorely miss them. With 7 games played, Cathy Poplawsky leads with a .592 average and is followed by Karen Bove at .526 and Karen Johnson at .517. Joyce Walsh' has 6 hits for extra bases, and Johnson has 17 rbi's. SPORTS NOTICE Tuesday, April 14 is the last day nominations for male and female athlete's of the year will be accepted.

Golf.Team Wins Two by Joy Rubbico In last week's article I told you that this year's Golf Team possesses the potential to improve upon last year's impressive 8-3 record. In this week's short breath of writing space, I will further develop this elaborate picture of tpe team with some interesting facts. Last Wednesday, the team competed in a tri-matchl against opponents Lycoming and Ursinus. Well, the team literally got their feet wet in their season-opener, as heavy rains prevailed. The match was called off after nine holes of play (a match must go the entire eighteen holes in order to count). One golfer commented that he should have been wearing flippers instead of his golf spikes. Out of curiosity, we asked Coach Schmidt how his team stood after the nine holes that were played. He informed us that the Wilkes squad was beating both of their opponents at that point! Nevertheless, the match was cancelled - and will not be rescheduled . On Friday, the squad faced the University of Scranton anct managed a narrow two-stroke victory, 435-437 . Team Captain, Mark Lepore, captured medalist honors firing a six over par 78. Low man for Scranton, was John Garvey with an 82. Other scoring for Wilkes was produced by Chris Reilly - 85, Ray Ward - 87, Joe Rubbico, and Rich Fenninger. Larry Maylock and Jack Cuyler also participated in the match for the Colonels. On Monday, the Blue and Gold boosted its record to 2-0 by defeating Muhlenberg by a 16 stroke margin. Mark Lepore and Joe Rubbico tied for the first place medalist honor of the match, while Chris Reilly, Bob Bruggeworth, and Ray Ward all aided in the victory. Larry Maylock and Jim Kachidur(an also participated. The team took its 2-0 record into a tri-match with Upsala and Scranton yesterday. Tune in to next week's article for more details! Record At 0-3-------------------- lnexperience Costs Sticlanen by David Capin This past week the inexperience of the Wilkes Lacrosse team took its toll as the stickmen dropped two non-conference -decisions. On Wednesday the Blue and Gold of Coach Pete Canine traveled to Carlisle, Pa. hoping to break into the win column against Dickinson college, but dropped a hard £aught 9-5 decision. As far as Saturday's game goes an old saying seems to sum up the Lacrosse team's ex~ periences - "when it rains it poars". This is what happened against Division I power Lehigh University as the Engineers drubbed the Colonels 28-5 in Bethlehem. In Wednesdays 9-5 loss to Dicinson, Rich Modica tallied 2 goals and had 2 assists, Eric Farber had 2 goals, and Defenseman Larry Buffalow got into the act as he tallied I goal.. On the defensive unitmidfielders Mike Feagan, Carl Lindhorst, and John Phillips turned in outstanding performances. On Saturday afternoon the stickmen found themselves behind 23-1 at half time against the Engineers of Lehigh University. It should be noted that Lehigh is a strong Division I and Wilkes as a Division III team has no business being on the same field as Lehigh, however, in the second half Coach Ca~ine instituted a Zone defense (not common in Lacrosse) and this held Lehigh to only 5 goals in the second half as the Colonels tallied 4. But the damage was already t t., I II I done and the Colonels found themselves on the shortside of a lopsided 28-5 decision. There were some positive signs during Saturdays game as attackmen Charles Furgeson, and Randy Kotzer along with Midfielders Phil Abramson, John McCarthy, Dan Talenti and John Stachacz all showed ability to.handle the ball and set up players for scores. It should be noted that all of the above mentioned players are new to the game of Lacrosse and have been showing marked improvement thus far. Although Saturdays game was no contest 3 Colonels managed to score to help the Wilkes cause. Damien Papariello tallied 2 goals and had 2 assists, Tracy Cloth had 2 goals, and Jeff Harper had 1 goal. On the season thus far Paul Szxzepanski is doing a fine job as goalie and is exceptional in clearing the ball. Larry Buffaloe has been leading the defense and has been doing a fine job. Dave Szczepanski, Gary Macko, Bill Burnhardt and last but not least Terry Casey are all doing fine jobs as first year players.

Record Stands At 5-5····················································································· Colonels Down Susquehanna Twice by Pete Steve The Wilkes College baseball team evened their 1981 record this past weekend to 5-5 . when they swept a doubleheader from Susquehanna University by scores of 6-4 and 6-1 in Selinsgrove. Earlier in the week, the Colonels home opener was spoiled when the .Royals of Scranton defeated the Blue and Gold by scores of 7-6 and 11-2. In the opening game against Scranton, the Colonels girre the Royals five runs in the top of the first inning by way of two errors and a three-run homer. The Blue and Gold started their come back in the bottom of the same inning when shortstop Joe Malatesta led off with a single. Cocaptain Chick Andrewscavage cut the Royals lead to 5-2 when he blasted a home run over the centerfield fence. The Colonels added a run in the third inning when centerfielder Mark Belenski homered to make the score 5-3. Wilkes finally took a 6-5 lead in the bottom of the fourth inning when junior Dale Englehart blasted a three-run homer. The lead w~ short lived as Royal hitters came on in the fifth inning to break a steady pitching performance by senior Jim Kearney and notch the win for Scranton. The Royals used the same "quick-. lead" approach in the night-cap a~ they went on to down the Colonel! 11-2. Wilkes gathered their onl)two runs of the game on RBl singles by Dale Englehart and Ken Rodick. The Colonels picked up their first two MAC Conference wins this past weekend against no defeats when they took a doubleheader off of Susquehanna University. _In the opening game, BEACON sports staffer Chris DaRe connnected on an RBI single and hitting star of the day, Chick Andrewscavage, added two more RBl's as the Blue and Gold jumped to a 3-2 lead after three innings. After Susquehanna picked up . a run to tie the game at 3-3, the fifth inning saw Andrewscavage and senior Ken Rodick hit back to back homers to give the Blue and Gold a 5-3 lead. Rodick blasted his second homer of the game in the sixth inning to give the Wilkes' diamondmen a 6-4 victory. ?M.Utkk4 W.ttt _, Junior Tony Vlahovic picked up the win in the first game in relief of starting pitcher Jim Kearney. Vlahovic struck out four batters and walked none, while Kearney struck out five batters and gave fre~ passes to four . Sophomore Bob Miller turned in another fantastic performance in picking up the win in the_nightcap and holding the Susquehanna team to only one run as the Colonels dropped the home squad 6-1. Throwing 68 pitches in seven innings of work, Miller struck out three while walking two. Rich Geffert nailed a towering home run in the fifth inning with one man aboatd to break a scoreless tie and give the Colonels a 2-0 lead. Wilkes added three runs ,~t. 4..&J ..Q PICK OFF ATTEMPT - Glenn DeMarrais hustles back to first base as the opposing pitcher tried to catch him sleeping. in the sixth when renior Jerry Antosh led off with a triple and was brought home by freshman George Hall with a sacrifice fly.

N et1D8D Defeat Juniata, Kiqg's by Marie James As the saying goes, "when you're hot, you're hot. When you're not, you're not." In applying the old adage to thk ls.Ne's Athelete of the Week, Cathy Poplawsky, the best daignosis would be a typical symptom of 'baseball fever.' In four games last week, the Colonelette third-ba!ewoman batted an amazing .773, an average hig_h enough to make any opposing team want to take two aspirin and · get plenty of rest. A nursing mlfor ·• formally from Bishop O'Hara high schoo•, -eathy has been giving other teams tough treatment all season. So far this year, she's been 16 for 27 at the plate, which gives her an impr~ive .592 season batting average. In all, she's scored eight runs in addition to ·batting in .eleven more. Cathy spent the beginning of the season at second -base, but last week made a transition to third. Because of the switch, she did suffer a slight set- . back. As Coach Nancy Roberts ointed e>ut, . ..she onl . made two erron, the only two this year." In the Misericordia operation, Cathy had one hit, but it was a triple, enough to make Misery sick. She knocked in one run with that shot. She also helped give Baptist Bible its last rights, preying on the opposition's pitchers with two hits and three runs batted in. In the Juniata case, a doubleheader, Cathy had a very healthy dl!f with a 6 for 6 outing. In game one, she stole two bases and hit -safely fn each of four at bats. During the second game, she had two hlt3 fn as many chances, making four runs score. One of the hits was was a triple. Coach Roberts' prognosis: "Cathy has worked hard on her hitting. Hopefully her excellent attitude and consistant hitting will remain aH The Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate Cathy for her outstanding performance last week. We prescribe the same dosage of hits for the rest of the season. It's just what the doctor ordered. season." by Mad: James They started stgrong, sputtered and faultered, and then? We don't know . Confused? Read on. Because the latest news about the Wilkes' tennis team was not printed last week, the newer news is that the racketeers are at 2 and 2 for the season, but actually they aren't. Still confused, right? Maybe a season review would help. The Colonels began the season at home against Juniata and won, 5-4. It was close, but the &mbtes team of Manoski and Swirbel came through in the final match after Buchsbaum won a close singles match with a 5-4 tiebreaker win . In the second game of the season, Wilkes came off on top again, beating Kings, 6-3. The competition seemed tough at first, but by the end of the match, the Colonels proved superior. So much for the strong start. With a 2-0 rec0rd, the Netmen took on a tough Elizabetht~wn team and lost, unfortunately, 7-2. Six singles matches and three doubles matches ~re played in the fteam compethion, with each match accounting for one point. The team to win five matches wins, but E-town made sure, by losing only two. The individual winners for Wilkes were Dave Battie, and Jim Watkinson . The Colonel's record evened out to two apiece after a 5-1 loss against Ursinus (not to be confused with the planet, Uranus, the seventh stone from the sun). How did Ursinus win 5-1 when nine matches were to be played? The ··three doebles matches, which are played last, were not lost in space, they were rained out. In fact, the last sinles match played determined whether or not the team competition was to count in the first place. This calls for some explaining. When the rain started, only one of the six singles matches was still in progress. The match, with Wilkes' Bob Buchsbaum against Ursinus' Jesperson, was moved indoors. If Buchsbaum won, the entire competition would have meant nothing, it would have been postponed. In the finai "volley 1n the final tiebrea\:er game in the final set, Buchsbaum answered a shot by the other guy. The ,ball hit the top of the net, it could have bounced either way, but tough luck for 'Buch', the ball bounced back. Wilkes lost. Coach Rokita explained that the Colonels had beaten two average teams before losing to two good teams, but the two important matches of the season were played after press time, but before today. NET NOTES: Tuesday's Scranton match and Thursday's Susquehanna match. results were not available, but if you go to the Baptist Bible match tomorrow at one o'clock at Ralston Field, jusf ask someone what happened . After four matches, the individual singles records go ai follows: Dave Battle, 3-1; Jim Watkinson, 2-1; Tom Swirbel, 2-2; St an Manos k i, 2- 2; Bob Buchsbaum, 1-3; Barry Spevak, 1-2; and Chris Sezenias, 0-2 .

In recent years, isitation Day was an all day affair, but this year the program was shortened and made an afternoon afffair .

Students often wonder if they are getting a fair deal on their financial aid package and why the next guy is getting a different amoutn of.financial aid. There are several different sources of financial aid available to students. Among them are loans, grants, scholarships and part-time employment programs such as the work-study program. Financial Aid Director Linda Giordano explained that the first step in the development of a student's financial aid package is the completion and submition of a college financial aid application. Applicants for financial aid must also apply for a Basic Grant as well as a grant from their home state, if their home state has such a program available. Additionally, students can apply for any other grants or scholarships they desire to help strengthen their financial aid packages. After the applications for the various grants and scholarships are sent in and processed, the student as well as the college receives notification of any awards that will be made. The college's finan- Touring Black Harlem an_d Chinatown or New York City Shopping Spree Leaving Wilkes-Barre by MARTZ TRAIL WAYS Sat., April 11th at 7:00 A.M. Returing at 2:00 P.M. FEE: $15.00 CALL: 824-4651 Ext. 465 cial aid office can then begin to determine the student's financial aid award. First, it must be decided which base figure will be used. There is one base figure for commuters and another base figure for resident students. Once it has been decided which base figure will be used, the estimated parents' contribution is subtracted from this total cost figure. A summer savings expectation and a contribution from the student's reported savings are also deducted from the total costs. What is left is called the estimated financial need. From this amount is deducted any state or Basic grants. At this point any remaining financial need is analyzed. The remaining need is usually cut in half. One half is usuallY. given in the form of a collegeadministered grant. The other half can be obtained through a loan or work-study, or a combination of both. There are, however, requirements which must be met if a student is to receive financial aid. The student must be enrolled fulltime at the college and must make satisfactory progress toward a degree. If a student is enrolled at least half-time he may still receive a Basic or state grant. Also, if a student applies for aid at a late date, his college-administered grant may be considerably less than half of his remaining financial need. During the 1980-81 academic year, Wilkes students received aid in many forms and from many sources. The following list gives some of the sources followed by the number of students aided by that source: Basic grant - 1152; Pennsylvania State Grant - 1172; college work-study program - 454; National Direct Student Loan 467; Pennsylvania State THE BALLET CENTER Marilyn Cavallari, Director School of Classical Ballet Beginners - Intermediate - Advanced Children through Adults Classes also offered in Jazz For Children and Adults Dancercize and Aerobic for Adults ii Guaranteed Loan - 863; and Wilkes Scholarship Grant - 768. Numerous other sources also assisted students. All in all, Wilkes students received over $6.6 million in aid during the 1980-81 academic year. One area that is of concern to students is the Reagan Administration's proposed cuts in financial aid. The college financial aid office analyzed these proposed cuts and determined that if they are put into effect, the most harm will be dealt to the students coming from lower-income families. It was determined that 91 percent of the students at this college come from families with annual incomes below $27,000. As a result, any actions that will reduce funding for the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program will have the most impact on the students wno can least afford it. The financial aid office's impact study reveals that "although no definite word is available as to the nature of the Reagan Administration's budget cuts, it seems that there is strong sentiment to revoke the expansion of both the Basic Grant Program and the Guaranteed/Insured Student Loan Program that resulted from the passage of the Middle Income Student Assistance Act, which was effective for the current academic year. Should this happen and the · programs revert to pre-MISAA guidelines, there would be. a substantial effect on the student body of this institution." The statistics reflect the differences between the number of students receiving Basic Grants before MISAA. In 1978-79, a preMISAA year, 669 Wilkes students received a total of ,6 $655,298 in aid through the Basic Grant Program. In 1980-81 1152 students received $1,195,489 in Basic Grant aid. The Reagan Administration also plans to remove the payment of both the interest subsidy and the "lender's incentive" · from the Guaranteed-Insured Loan Pro- gram. The student would then be required to add the accumulated interest to his principal balance and repay both following graduation. Interest rates would also go up, probably to a rate near the current money-market rates. According to the impact study, "Lenders would be much less willing to allocate such a large amount of their funds to student loans because they would no longer have the assured interest and incentive payments and the ease of administration. Students, too, would be much less willing to borrow, knowing that both the principal and all the accrued interest would be payable by ·them following graduation." Again, the statistics show that in the pre-MISAA year of 1978-79, 742 Wilkes students received $1,340,000 in Insureed Loan funds. This is compared to the estimate that, for 1980-81, 1085 students woul~ receive $2,198,500 A fun experience Camp Swago-Camp Swatonah 1410 East 24th Street • Brooklyn, N.Y. 1121 O Write for application: • All college students eligible • All water, land, cultural and social activities (Sterling Hotel Annex) student teach next year, either in the Fall of 1981 or the Spring of 1982, on Monday, April 13, 1981 at 11:00 a.m. or 12 noon in the mezzanine of the Dorothy Dickson Darte Center for the Peforming Arts.

Despite the gloomy picture, the financial aid office is trying to remain optimistic, and is hoping that all of the proposed cuts will not be put into effect. However, if all of the cuts are put into effect many Wilkes students will find it difficult to finance their education, and as many as 15 percent of the students here mav have to decide whether or not to continue their education. With this in mind, the administration has been urging students to write to their congressmen to encourage them to vote against any financial aid cuts. • Eight week season.

There is a possibility that the trees may not put out leaves or blossoms this year. From The Other Side .. ... . .. . "Hill Street Blues" When I first saw the ads for ' 'Hill Street Blues ' ' I-thought it was just another cop show . I don' t know what caused me to sit down and watch it the first time , but by the end of the hour I knew my first impressions were wrong. It is the most unique cop show I have ever seen , and at the head of the class of 1980 premiere shows . The writing is top notc h in ability to show the daily problems of police work, and how cynicism can enter .i nto a cop' s life . In his book " The Choir Boys," Joseph Wambaugh wanted to show how a cop 's life can really get rough . " Hill Street Blues" uses this atmosphere for its setting. This show is not a typical ''somebody com mitts a crime, and the cops solve it" style show. The biggest asse t to the program is ics believability . Most cops will tell you chats how it reall y is, not as glamourous as you m ight think . There are no Starsky and Hu tches running around in a big red car, just a lot of plain blue policemen trying to keep control of chaos . Some people may h ave trouble foll owing t he show, because it doesn 't follow story lines in the typical m anner. This is why it is so good , because it makes viewers look beyond the front line of the story and into secondary plots. All the actors have produced solid characters, and a big round of applause to Michael Conrad for his pan. The show doesn ' t rely on just one actor, and that can save a show from becoming boring and repetitive . The title " Hill Street Blues" has something hidden in it that gives emphasis to what the show is trying to accomplish. Yes, the show does have redeeming social value· because it is trying to make the viewer aware of a situation. The battle cops fight is not just in the streets . Every day they see the worst the world has to offer_, and_it must get to them . It is a wonder more cops aren ' t cynics because of what they face. This is one of the strong secondary plots to the show , and is , without a do ubt , it 's biggest asset. by Louis Czachor Many of the Japanese Cherry Blossom trees located in the downtown area and on the river commons are dying. The sick trees can be found on property owned by Wilkes College, King's College, the City of Wilkes-Barre, Luzerne County and the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society, and others. Dr. Charles B. Reif pointed out that fo ur years ago he recommended that the trees be sprayed, but his recommendations were ignored. He explained that the trees have been attacked by scale insects and he noted that the insects · apparently take enough sap out of the trees to do some damage and eventually kill the trees. He added that we have had two d ry seasons in a row and that has not helped . At this point, Reif believes that all of the trees should be cut down and burned . He suggested that they be replaced with Dogwood trees, or some other flowering variety of tree that would have a better chance of survival than the cherry trees. In the past few years, the trees have had fewer and fewer blossoms and leaves. Reif stated that he thinks that the trees will be mostly dead this year and in few weeks we will see if they put out any leaves and flowers. Reif commented, "Scale insects are a major pest in citrus orchards. The Japanese Bettle, which is such a pest, was imported with the Cherry Blossom trees planted in Washington, D .C ." He also noted that the scale insects are related to cicadas which do a lot of damage and make a lot of noise. He explained that the trees themselves have a short life. They are all grafted trees, and the flowers do not set fruit, so there are no seeds and the trees have to be propagated asexually. a QUOTABLE QUOTES "We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

Meditation can lower blood pressure, biofeedback exercises can alleviate stress, and focused mental concentration can cure symptoms of disease. T hese .and other puzzles are explored by Taylor in this stimulating account of the workings of the mind . He explains that consciousness is not a unitary thing; rather, it includes a Wide range of experiences, from seeing the color red to falling in love, from feelings of passion to feelings of joy at watching a sunset. The author concludes that these phenomena lie beyond the grasp of neuroscience.

Next semester registration will be even smoother as the process wil be completely computerized. According to registrar Doris Barker, the terminals are part of a program that was 3½ years in the planning. The final addition to the was presented to the state board. After the report was made to the state board, the board reached a decision to grant the department full approval, and the department was informed of that decision. The Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing Exaihiners is a legal body which determines if a school should be permitted to operate a nursing program . The board also reviews programs currently in existence to determine if they should remain in existence. program will be the introduction of information cards. These cards will have a concise record of each student on them, therefore eliminating the need for registration forms. This process also eliminates tedious paperwork. The cards will need to be verified by each student on registration day to avoid error. The computer system will be more efficient in the coming semesters, but initially there is more work. This semester only, in order to get the computer system started, the terminal_s must be cataloged. Putting the information into the terminals is ifficult and timely, according to Barker. She has no complaints about computer registration so far, but she added, "We'll have to wait and see." Computers are also being introduced to many other aspects of the college. In the past year, grade rosters have taken the place of class cards making records of student files easier to keep. Also, plans to put student records in computers are being considered with hopes of easing the complications of registration.

Indiana will now take the championship · trophy along with the pride of being the best college basketball team in the country home with them for their fans (and foes) to admise. Admiration is exactly what should be bestowed upon this year's champion because of the ability of the""'number one team to survive the upset. Upsets this year started so early that when they occurred late in the tourney, no one was really shocked when they heard about them. St. Joseph's beat DePaul, Alabama irmingham defeated Kentucky, B.Y.U. downed UCLA and then also went on to drop Notre Dame, and finally in the semi-finals North Carolina beat Virginia to get a shot at Indiana. These occurrences happened so frequently that they took the meaning out of the word upset. This had to be one of the strangest tournaments ever to be held. It not only knocked some of the top teams out of play very early, but it also showed the country th~t there really is no favorite or sure bet to win the title. No matter what Al McGuire says. Everyone knows who this year's championship team is and probably the majority of fans know who last year's top squad ■ KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys LEE LEVIS WRANGLER -- •Boys , students and mens Dickie Work Pants in 10 different colors. •Largest selection of Hooded Sweatshirts in the valley . • Large selection of down and polyester Vests and Parkos, Field Jackets, Pee Coats and Flannel Shirts. was.

Congratulations to all of these championship teams and to the Hoosiers of Indiana on this year's victory. by Mark James "He hits the ball hard to all fields; he's getting much, much better with his glove," said baseball coach Dave Kaschak of this week's Athlete of the Week, Chick Andrewscavage. "He's a good first baseman;" Kaschak added, "he's a . much better than average first baseman, but then again, that's because he works so hard at it." But the key to Chicky's success at Wilkes is his hitting. As his coach pointed out, "Chicky's natural attribute as a ball player is his hitting." It was his hitting that made the difference last weekend in two preseaseon double headers against Kutztown State and Onondaga Community College. lri Saturday's games against Kutztown, ' Chicky went five-forseven with two doubles, a triple, and five runs batted in. In the opening game of the twin bill, a 10-6 loss, he went 3 for 3 with two runs scored and two runs batted in. During the second game, a 9-1 · victory, he started off strong, singling in a run in the first inning and doubling in two more in the second. In addition to his rbi's, he also scored a run. On Sunday, Chick knocked in five runs with two home runs and a double in the Wilkes exhibition victories over Onondaga of New York. His two home runs came in the nightcap, and Chick finished the day with a four for seven slate playing as a designated hitter. In all, he finished the weekend with a nine-for-fourteen outing and a total of two home runs, a triple, two doubles, and ten ru~s batted in. "He works hard to get where he is, " Kaschak said, "At first base he doesn't get that many balls hit to him, those he. does, he handles very well." A senior, Chicky has been excellent behind the plate ever since he was a freshman. In three years at Wilkes, he has hit .34_8 with 73 bi's in 74 games. Thirty one of hose rbi's came in his first year. As so homor-e he batted .320 with 10% DISCOUNT upon presentation of student ID card until 4/ 30/ 81 .

The results of the season opener against Scranton were not available at press time, but in any case, Chicky's role as a team leader cannot go without mention. His greatest concern is for the younger· players. "If those guys come through, we'll be alright. I'm counting on them ," Chicky said, reflecting some of the sentiment of the older players, "We've been playing for three years now, but we neve won the MAC championshlp." Ever since his high school years. at Pittston Area, Chicky has been a standout on the baseball diamond. He likes the sport; "It's a lot of fun . . . I've been playing for a long time." In four years at Wilk~, Chicky has been a valuable asset to the lineup, but he insists, "There are no individual stars; I like to pull for the guys." He's a team player, who's looking for the best. ''I'm just looking forward to a good year. " The Beacon sports staff would like to congratulate Chicky for his fine performance; and because he is a team player, we feel obliged to wish him as well as his teammates a good season. Go fo r it!

Lacrosse Team Loses by David Capin The Wilkes College Lacrosse team opened it's regular season this past Saturday at Ralston Field as they dropped a 9-3 decision to Widener College. It seemed as though the team suffered through "opening day Jitters" throughout the afternoon as they failed to generate a consi , , t attack . At · one point in time the Colonel offense looked good, but it sputtered through most of ·t he game. The defensive unit was more consistent than the offense, but it also faltered during the last quarter. The threesome of Eric Farber Damian "tak" Papieriello ana' Jeff Harper were responsible for the offense that was generated. Farber tallied 2 goals, Papieriello had 1 goal and 2 assISts, and Jeff Harper had 1 assist. It seemed as though the Colonels missed the offensive fire power of veteran Rich Modica who has been sidelined with a back injury for the past few weeks. Modica's absence was obvious as the Colonels only managed to score 3 goals on the afternoon. According to Coach Canine, "Modica is a very impor- tant part of our offense and his absence realfynurt us, but he is expected to return the action later this week." Defensively the stickmen played well for the first 3 quarters on Saturday. Goalie Paul Szczepabski played well as he had 15 saves. Larry Buffaloe also had a fine outing as his aggr ,_ · e style of play was probably one of the brightest spots for the Colonels throughout the afternoon. it should be noted that 10 of the players never played Lacrosse before. It is very difficult to break into any sport on the college level, and mistakes due to inexperience are expected . However, Coach Canine is very pleased with the progress of the first year players. ' He feels within a short period of time the first year players will make less mistakes and will have a positive impact on the team as a whole. The next game for the stickmen will be tomorrow afternoon as they will travel to Bathlehem to take on the Engineers of Lehigh University. upon us - talk about p ~ tioilf" -.....

Pitching was the name of the game as both hurlers proved to be stingy with base hits . Wilkes was limited to only 6 hits, none for extra bases, and Bucknell only got 11 with no extra basers. Cheryl Frystak, a sophomore, pitched an excellent game for Wilkes, and it was two costly errors by the defense which enabled Bucknell to post a victory. Kim Smith, a freshm an, accounted for the only Wilkes run with an rbi single. Errors proved to be costly for Wilkes as they played Susquehanna at Kirby Park. The game was the first conference clash for the team . Offensively the team played very well, J nd once again Cheryl Frystak pitched an outstanding game, but it was crucial errors by the defense which denied the women victory. Overall the team committed 6 errors, and unfortunately, almost all of them resulted in runs by the opposition. The team continuously du& holes for themselves. but they also bpt , out again. Like all good teams the ladies came ba()k time and time ,again, but In the end they could not.quite overcome clial11fif'llick their own mistabs. The 1ame wu a perfect eumple of a team beating themselves. Tbe'leadlng bitten for the pme were ~,_ Jobmoo with 2 for 3 with 2 runs batted in and runs scored, Joyce Walsh with 3 for 3 with 2 runs batted in and 1 scored, and Cathy Poplawsky with 2 for 4 with 3 runs batted in . In the second game the team took out their frustration leftover from the first and romped to a 14-2 victory. As fa r as the confererice was concerned, the game meant little, but to the team it was a game to vindicate themselves and show their true talent and to exhibit their determination and pride. Johnson and Walsh, the cocaptains, again were the big sticks for the ladies. Karen went 2 for 4 with 4 runs batted in and 2 runs scored, and Joyce went 2 for 4 with 3 'r uns batted in and 2 runs scored. Mary Jean Farrell, batting before Walsh and Johnson, went 3 for 4 with 4 rum scored, and she proved to be an offensive sparkplug and catalyst · for the team. Karen Bove pitched an excellent game as she limited Susquehanna to only 2 hits. · The nen big game for the team Is Saturday, April 4, when they travel to Juniata to play a doubleheader. The first game is an all lm_portant MAC contest, and the ladies will be looking to even their conference record at 1-1 with a victory. , FOUL BALLS ~ Co-eaptaa Ja,eeW.W.aaclKu..Jobnaa• far ..... .,_ tbe beut of the .....,offeaa.

TljG Vol. XXXIII No. 22 March 27, 1981 Trustees Approve Increases ............................................................................ . TotalCollegeCostToGo Up $650ByNextYear by Louis Czachor Tuition costs for next year will increase by $450 and room and • board will go up $200 according to President Robert S. Capin. The increases were approved by the.:ollege's Board of Trustees at a meeting last Friday. Capin explained that the 12 percent increase in tuition will hike that fee to $4200 for the 1981-82 academic year. Room and board will be $2100 which is a 10 percent increase over this year's costs. Additionally, part time tuition will be $89 per credit hour. That is an increase of $7 per credit hour or 8.5 percent. Graduate tuition will be raised to $120 per credit hour, an inerease of 9.1 percent or $10 per credit hour. Capin noted that the increases are basically in line with what is taking place thro ughout the country. Capin added that Wilkes will still have the highest tuition in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but "will still be lower than many Pennsylvania institutions of our quality and size." When asked why the increases were necessary, Capin.replied that the basic reasons for the increases are to enable the college "to ·m eet its committments to the personnel of the college, to maintain the physical plant , to pr9vide necessary scholarships, to provide other services important to the operation of the college, and in general to meet increases to which · the college has been subjected due to inflation." Referring to the increase, Capin commented, "We have done the best we possibly could to keep it at the lowest figu re." Capin added that in order to assist students, the college is increasing the amount of financial aid it will make available from $627,000 to $720,000. He explained that the college is trying to assist wherever possible and he added that one major concern now is to encourage everyone to influence the national legislators to try to minimize the imact of reductions in financial aid programs. Capin stressed that if students find that there is a financial burden, they should meet with 'the counseling deans and financial aid director before making a decision about their future education. "We want to assist students in any w;iy we possibly can to meet their financial obligations," commented Capin.

Three students were nominated for the office and all three accepted the nominations . The three candidates are Tom Farley, Ana Nunez, and Al Wideman. _ After the meeting Galli commented that he would not endorse a candidate and noted that the bylaws prohibit the president of SG from endorsing a candidate. Galli also commented, ''.I am very happy that we have three candidates running this year. I feel that the three candidates have a lot to offer." Also, each of the three candidates was interviewed for this article. Some of their views are presented below. Tom Farley Farley stated that he is running for SG president because be believes that changes have to occur on this campus. Specifically, he noted that the administration must be more receptive to student ideas, social activities require better organization, there is a need for some type of activity every weekend, and SG must be more responsive to the student body. He pointed out that SG 's biggest fault now is that not enough emphasis is put on social activities, and he would take steps to corrct that by getting a social coordinator who would work with CC and IRHC in developing a workable social calendar. Farley stated that his priorities would be to better inform students as to that events that occur regarding SG, and to get the student body involved in SG as well as getting the students to support SG activities. He would also like to see the administration be more responsive to student input when the issues concern students. He stated that overall Joe Galli was a good president, but that he missed opportunities to strengthen SG's position in regard to the students·and administration. Ana Nunez Ana Nunez said that she wants to be SG president because she has always been interested in student service and she looks upon the position as a challenge which she can meet. She also noted that in her three years in SG she has learned an incredible amount about SG and how it works. She has a lot of ideas that she would like to institute also. She commented that at this time SG's biggest fault lies in its lack of effectiveness in dealing with varied situations. She wants to improve SG's effectiveness in dealing with the administration, communicating with the student body _and providing services for the students of the college. Nunez listed her priorities as improving communications with ' the students, improving student services and bettering communications with the administration. When asked to comment on the job done by the present SG President, Nunez commented that his main failing has been in the area of communication, buf she added, "Overall, I think he has done a great job," Nunez also pointed out that she feels she has the leadership qualities necessary for the position, and she added that she believes she is capable of dealing with the administration on a mature level. · Al Wirkman Al Wirkman commented that he wants to be president of SG because he thinks that there are a lot of changes he can make in student government. He noted that there are a lot- of communication problems among SG, the students and the administration. He would like to see SG create an atmosphere that wp.l encourage clubs and organizations to sponsor social events. Wirkman commented that he would also like to see more studens, faculty and administration in attendance at the SG meetings. He stated that SG's biggest fault now is its need for better organization and communications. He added that if elected, he will see to it that the entire year will revolve around improving these areas . Wirkman stated that as soon as he takes office he will begin organizing himself, his budget and his executive council.

He pointed out that Joe Galli has done a lot as SG president, 11.hd he is pleased with what has happened. However, he noted that Calli's administration lacked organization and Galli lacked .respect. He explained that the lack of respect grew out of the lack of organization. The elections will take place next Thursday, April 2, from 11:00 to 3:00 and from 4:30 to 6:30. All students, including seniors may vote.

Rob Doty is a senior chemistry major from State College, Pa. He is active in Student Government and is co-chairman of the Publicity and Elections Committee. He serves as the president of Slocum .

Elias; Knox Vie For Commuter Council Presidential Post piling and posting a computerized reference sheet for students interested in forming a car-pool. Amy Elias is a sophomore English major, with a minor in education. She said she would like to be President as a junior because she will be student teaching during the second semester of her senior year and feels she would be unable to devote sufficient time to council work. Elias has been a member of the council from the beginning of her freshman year and this · year chaired the coffeehouse committee. In addition to her involvement with the council~ Elias is the secretary of the Sophomore class, a member of the curriculum committee of the English department, a tutor for the writing lab, a freshman orientation group leader, and a writer for the Beacon. Elias concluded, "I enjoy the organization and the time I've put into it, and I'm looking forward to next year." Commuter Council members Amy Elias and Joe Knox were nominated for the office of President at the meeting of Monday, March 23. During an interview with the Beacon, the candidates expressed their views and set forth their goals for next year's council: Amy Elias Candidate Amy Elias feels that many students are not aware of the wide variety of valuable services performed by the Commuter Council, and as president she would like to enhance their awareness while strengthening-the council itself. Elias sa,icJ she believes the council "serves 'as a base to connect commuters ~ith campus activities." Commenting on what she considered the overall achievements of the council this year, Elias said, "We've reached a lot more people around campus and we've become openly involved in more campus activities, bu't even more can be done in the future to promote student interaction." · To accomplish this, she suggested more daytime activities on campus, such as lectures, films, and informal gatherings in the Student Center. Elias also addressed some of the problems she would like to tackle if el.ected. "It is quite obvious that on-campus parking spaces are inadequate for the number of commuters with cars, but we have to be practical trying to find solutions. Elias said she would keep the present point system for allocating parking stickers intact, out would like to see a few minor revisions. Elias said she would like to pursue the idea of a car-pool referral service. She proposed posting com- Joe Knox Candidate Joe Knox believes that parking is a main concern for commuters, and therefore he plans to make this a priority item on his agenda if elected. Specifically, Knox would like to see the "establishment of at least one firstcome-first-served" parking area on campus, negotiations 'Yith the administration for more student parking spaces - even at the expense of Dorm, faculty, and administration spaces, and close monitoring of the space to be cleared behind the student center." Knox pointed out that the carriage house behind the SUB will be razed in the near future, and said, "I feel this space should be utilized for additional parking spaces for students. Knox stressed the importance of · communications between student leaders and their constituency as well as communication with the administration. He feels the moving of the CC office from Weckesser hall will· benefit the council's relations with fellow students. When dealing with the administration, Knox said "a student leader should remain tough in his convictions and should not be turned away without a good, credible cause." Concerning the structure of the Council itself, Knox said "the committees should include more people on and off the council in order tci get more people involved. He would also like to place a CC suggestion box on campus. "This · would spur more student interest than the surveys used in the past. Although the surveys were good, they tended to limit students abilities to make suggestions." To achieve his goals, Knox said he could draw from the leadership experience he has gained in the past three years at Wilkes. His recent activities include Commuter Council Representative for the class of '82, Board member of COPUS / National • and Executive Director of COPUS/Wilkes. Knox is a junior Political science major, with a minor in Public Administration. 5 j ·1 NUMBER9 SHOP 9 W.

These microfilm files are used primarily for genealogical research. Although the library staff is not equipped to do family tree research for the public, they can advise anyone searching his ancestry on certain inefficiencies in the Census data file . For example, Frederick Krohle, Reference Librarian, notes that some Census forms are filled out in script, rather than being typewritten. He also mentions that many times, the spelling on names is incorrect. He adds that boarders were common 200 years ago, and often a boarder was listed on the Census form as being a member of the family with which he was staying. Chief Librarian Dale Buehler proposes that anyone searching his family tree should talk to his relatives and "gain as much oral history" as possible. He points out, . "The more information you have, the better off you are." Media Specialist Carol Leavesley notes that the file, which covers the years 1790 to 1900, is indexed somewhat, but that sometimes the indexes are incorrect. She adds that the Census data is only available 75 years after it is collected, therefore, the data form 1910 is not yet available. Finally, Buehler reminds that people interested in this research to their own work - the library staff does not do genealogical research for the public. �Page 4, The Beacon, March 27, 1981 Eaitorially Sp<ZOkin9 USPS 832-080 Patti Spar/ow Editor-in-Chief Decisions, Decisions Decision '81 is upon the students of Wilkes College. This year, unlike last, each presiden tial office of the major organizations (SG , CC , IRHC) have more -than one contender. Each race promises to be an interesting one. This election should.prove to be a healthy collection of ideas and candidates. Decisions are not easy to make in situations where the field is almost overcrowded with qualified and competent people. However, they are eventually made. Please remember that these choices are not predictions, but statements of Beacon support and endorsement, after evaluating each candidate's platform. Student Government Ana Nunez Based on experience, Ana is clearly the front runner in this race. She has served on a number of com!ilittees and has been involved, if not in charge of, many functions , both academic and social. Of the three candidates for SG President, Ana's platform of communication, student services and financial policy is the most sound . Moreover, she is a strong person who is familiar with the operations of Wilkes . Insight can only be an asset to an SG President. In light of her qualifications and experience, Ana should be th at president. Commuter Council Amy Elias A veteran of Commuter Council, Amy is also fa miliar with its operations. Th is qualification does not stand alone however, as she has proven herself in ma ny instances to be a dedicated and hard worker who will not give up when fac ed with adversity. Her campaign platfo rm explains w hat she feels is the reason for CC, "It is the purpose of Commuter Council to solve . . . problems fo r the commuter by providing assistance to transportation problems, social activities and a fi rm representative organizatio n which voices commuters' complaints and also their const.ructive suggestions." As President of Commuter Council, 1my)Vill make sure that ·~-e~•ideas are realized and ultimately enjoyed by t he commuters. InteJ;-Residence Hall Council · - - · ·· ' · Bill Lourie A relative dark horse candidate, BiH seems to offer the most sincere effort for improvement. While sincerity is not everythin g, it is the difference between·student apath y and student life and Bill should be ale to create some student life with his ideas. One of his plans involves strengthening the ties between resident assistants and hall presidents. This seems like a logical move. Moreover, his ideas concerning the prevention of vandalism on campus are unique to the campaign and should be a top priority next year. He also has several methods of increasing student participation in IRHC. He has definite ideas - ideas that can only benefit students. These three candidates promise the best year in 1981-1982. They have many common goals, and should therefore be able to work together well. It is only hoped that the promises are not only campaign rhetoric, but real ideas that will be implemented after the elections. Nunez, Elias and Lourie - don't forget to vote on April 2.

Robert Doty, am announcing my candidacy for the office of the President of the Inter-Resident Hall Council. For the past two years I have been a representative of my dorm to the Inter-Dormatory Council and to the IRI:IC, and have noticed an increase in participation and enthusiasm of the representatives as well as the other students who attend the meetings and events. I too share this enthusiasm and plan to promote the enthusiasm of all other students towards the IRHC. The first step to increasing this enthusiasm is to increase the participation of more students in the decision making process of the IRHC. This is currently being made possible by the new clause I wrote to be .incorporate!i into the revised constitution of the IRHC which allows for the addition of Associate Members to the voting body of the Council. If a student attends the meetings, is active, and shows enthusiasm for the IRHC he may be given this type of membership. Currently I am the President of my dorm as well as the alternate rep to IRHC and I see a need for much more dorm President participation in the affairs of all resident halls. I would like to push fo r more inter-resident hall cooperation through halls co-sponsoring parties and other school-wide events. I would also like to promoted interresident hall competitions such as football, volleyball, basketball, and softball tournaments as well as hall decoration and snowman btrilding contests. I am very qualified for the job of IRHC President. I have been active in my class for four years and have been on Student Government for the past two years. I am currently a co-chairman of the Publicity and Elections Committee of Student Government and a student member of the Faculty Admissions Committee. I have had a lot of experience working with students, faculty, and administration and I know what is requir.ed to get things done. A good example is my attainment of bulletin boards for the Hotel and the YMCA after two months of hassles. I would encourage all students who care about the future of Wilkes College to attend the Presidential Forum of Wednesday, April 1, (April Fools Day) at 8:00 p.m. in Stark 101 to hear my opponent, myself, and the Presidential candidates for Commuter Council and Student Government give our platforms for the election on Thursday, April 2. The election will be from 10:00 to 4:00 in the lobby of Stark and from 4:30 to 6: 30 in the Cafe. Rob Doty , I �March 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page 5 We get ... more Lourie States Ideas For lllHC LETTERS Diplomas-------- Stadents Feel Majors Should Be Included To the Editor: We would like to take this opportunity to address our fellow students here at Wilkes. Last year , we sat idly by and watched as the seniors at that time struggled with the administration over the issue of the new format for the diplomas. The administration wanted the diplomas to simply read "Bachelor of Science" or "Bachelor of Atts". The students wanted the diplomas to read as they had in the past, namely "Bachelor of Science in Physics" or "Bachelor of Arts in Physics". Which one would .,;..1 rather??? There is reaiiy no comparison. Don't say that it doesn't really matter to you, because it will when you are sitting in your home or office in the future and suddenly you ask yourself, "Bachelor of Science in what?". Sadly enough, the administr~tion won, and the diplomas are now as lifeless as the sidewalks which we .walk upon every day here at good old Wilkes. In our three years here at Wilkes, we have seen many warranted complaints by students go unheeded. by the administration. We have nothing against the administration . We are sure that the). are all well qualified individuals. But the buck has to stop somewhere, and we . are asking you, our fellow students, to help us stop it dead in its tracks Right NOW!!! It doesn't matter whether you are a freshman, senior, or graduate student. This matter is' going to affect each and every one of us in the very near future. It is aboQt time that the administration realized that we are the ones responsible for keeping this institution of higher learning in business. Without us, there would be no Wilkes College. We are not radicals, but we do speak up when we realize that something is wrong. And we assure you that something is very, very wrong here. We must pay for our diplomas. Don't you think that they should signify the four years of hard work and thousands upon thousands of dollars which we have sacrificed to obtain them? One administration official was quoted as saying that the name of the major on the diploma detracted from its aesthetic appeal, and gave it a cluttered look. She said that the major appeared on the students' transcript. We don't know about you, but we sure as hell are not going · to frame our .transcripts and hang it on our walls . They are OUR diplomas, and they should read as we want them to. The format should not be determined by someone who has not sacrificed so much for the diploma as we have. The administration officials all have their diplomas. Let's all get together and let them know how we want ours to read . This may sound corny, but united as one powerful voice we are sure we can make a difference. Remember, this is a problem which we must all _ face. Start writing letters to this paper so that we can · organize ourselves. We have the BEACON as an excellent vehicl.e by which to voice our views. Let's use itl We will start circulating petitions very soon. Sign them. Have your friends sign them. Have your parents sign them too. If enough parents get involved, that could be the crucial difference. This is a matter of pride. We are all individuals, and our diplomas should signify our individual accomplishments. Start the ball rolling right now by writing letters, complaining to the administration, and by making your voice be heard. We know what we want. Do You? Let's get moving. Sincerely yours, Gregory M.

Sardegna Class of 1982 To the Editor: To all residence hall students: On April 2, the residence hall students will be given the opportunity to elect the next President of the Inter-Residence Hall Council. You will be given the opportunity to express y01,1r opinion. As a candidate for such an important position, I have given a great deal of thought to the problems we face at Wilkes. Perhaps the greatest problem we face is the disunity of the student body. It's shameful to say that a large percentage of _students don't know what IRHC is or even cares! The image of IRHC must be built up, and the gap between students and student leaders closed. I propose to raise-the quality of IRHC reps by subjecting them to an end of the year evaluation. A good rep will project a view of confidence in IRHC so that no student should feel that his complaint will not be heard . To show the presence of IRHC to students, I will encourage all reps to submit their views to the Beacon. Closer ties with Resident Assistants and hall president~ is imperative in order to establish a stronger line of commications between IRHC and residence halls. Students must learn to take pride in their residence halls and indentify themselves with it . The quality of IRHC as a body must be improved, as well. The participation of good students who were not elected in their resident halls can be a great asset to IRHC. In order to attract these people to IRHC, I propose that a ten member non-elected body be incorporated within IRHC. Any student who wants the status and rights of an elected representative will be given that chance by submitting an application to the executive council of IRHC. From these pool of students, ten will be Su,imming·------------ lleader Corrects Article To The Editor: Am writing in reference to· an article in the last issue of the Beacon by Chris DeRe, caption~d "Swim Commentary". The article deals strictly with the boys' performances at MAC swimming championships while ignoring the fact there were five girls from Wilkes competing on the same date in the same pool at Widener College. Is the author ignorant of the facts or chauvinistic in the approach to journalism. The word approach is used loosely, for the story in itself is a series of ruptured platitudes and hollow excuses. Let the record show the girls scored 57 points in the girls' competition while the boys scored 16 points in the male competition. Peggy Butchkavitz took tenth fn the 200 yd. Breaststroke, Karen Field took seventh in the 100 yd. Freestyle. Megan McGuire took sixth in the 200 yd. Backstroke and eighth in the 500 yd. Freestyle. Michele McGuire took seventh in the 200 yd. Butterfly, eighth in the 200 yd. Individual Medley and eighth in the 100 yd. Butterfly. Lorraine Koch recorded her best times of the year. The relay team composed of Megan McGuire, Peggy Butchkavitz, Michele McGuire and Karen Field took ninth place in the 400 yd. Freestyle Relay and ninth in the 400 yd. Medley Relay. Sincerely yours, Anne Evans Editor's Note: We stand cor- rected. ·It was indeed an error to omit the girls' performance at the, MAC swimming championships at Widener College. It was an error in reporting which sometimes occurs when d~dlines have to be met. May we take this opportunity to congratulate the girls on their fine representation of Wilkes College at the MAC's. May we also thank Anne Evans for pointing this error out to us and for presenting it (for the most part) in a mature fashion.

I Biya, Janine Tucker PresidentInter-Residence Hall Council more letters on p. 6 given the name of appointed representative. This will insure greater interest in IRHC . A serious problem inflicting residence hall students is the damage of our halls and campus. As the present Maintenance Committee chairman of IRHC, I have seen enormus destruction of our -property and the impact of vandalism on our college costs. I propose a campaign against vandalism, initiated by IRHC, calling to the attention of students the fact that vandalism hurts the student body as a whole. Students must be shown more clearly, the consequences of vandalism . Although the issue of coeducational housing has been here at Wilkes for a number of years, a solid basis for its hopeful adoption has been formed. Now is the time for all residence hall students to stand up and say, "I want co-ed housing," The next president of IRHC will play an important role in co-ed housing. If co-ed housing is adopted, I will work to expand it to the point where students are satisfied. If it is not adopted, other housing alternatives must be investigated. There are issues that must be contended against the administration and faculty. Presently, the administration informs students of an increase in college costs by sending a bill to our homes that has a significantly larger amount than the previous bill. I will ask the administration to send to our homes information disclosing why college costs have increased. The faculty's most recent withdrawal policy must be amended. It is not fair that students are given four weeks to withdraw from a course that does not offer it's first exam until the sixth week. Since the IRHC president represents the residence hall students as one, it is important for him or her to know what the students want. In order to obtain these close ties, my administration will be characterized by frequent questionnaires asking students to express their opinions on certain matters. Present topics I am interested in · are coed housing, fraternities and sororities, study alternatives, parties, residence hall parking, and other controversial topics. In order to better prepare for next year, these questionnaires will be circulated before the end of April. The concepts stated above are solid and should be tried. Win or loose I will work hard in IRHC to implement these ideas. Although the primary reason for this article is to gain your support, I am also interested in making a point. We as students and young adults are paying thousands of dollars for our food, buildings, activities and education. We are providing incomes for the faculty and administration. If any of us are unhappy we must voice our opinion! IRHC will voice your opinion. I call and ask for your support. Together our voices will be heard.

What happens to this investment should be of some concern. What do students get? Movies, dances and parties? This is just the shell of what ·student government is all about. It is known because it is the visible part of S.G. There is the student input on faculty promotion and tenure that S.G. went through a long hard battle to bring about. There is funding for activities and conventions; student representation on faculty commits tees and a gamut of student services. But what's important to you the student of Wilkes? If the presi- Talenti Believes WirkmaR Best Choice For SG To the Editor: When voting for the next Student . Government President, ·I hope that everyone will take the time to think about their decision. The Student Government President must represent the entire student body, he must act as a liaison between students and administration, and try to promote fellowship, scholarship, and the name of Wilkes College. It · is my _ opinion . that Al Wirkman would do the best job. As Student Government President, he wo_uld try to create an atmosphere that would promote student involvement. He would en~ courage all organizations and all students to get involved, and would try to create an atmosphere conducive to this purpose. He has already shown · his leadership abilities as a member of Student Government for the past three years. He has had the opportunity to work with the Ad.ministration and represent the students. Please consider carefully your choice for Student Government President, then vote AL WIRKMAN . Dan Talenti Physics Major dent of such a large organization is not receptive to suggestion and criticism, then we should hang our heads in shame. I feel S.G. is, and should work even harder, to be flexible t~ students' concerns and needs. Therefore, I feel that communication is the key. We must reach more of the student body and they must know that we can be reached. Because of changes in the social policy, student government has encouraged others to sponsor activities, and has shifted to dealing with important problems. These problems involve student input in academics, college policy and student service. I feel that these are worthy goals to pursue. With respect to qualifications, I have been involved in S.G. since I was a freshman . I enjoy student service and feel that I have done my job very well. I have presented students' opinions on faculty policy to the entire faculty and have helped draft a lot of legislation to make students' opinions kno~n. lt is also' important, in the office of S.G. president, to be able to speak effectively. Because of previous experience in speech I feel that I can express and communicate students' concerns. In addition to chairing my most time consuming event, Homecoming, I tried, successfully more LETTERS CC--------Knox Announces Candidacy To the commuting students of Wilkes College: On April 2nd, Wilkes College commuters will have the opportunity to elect the next president of Commuter Council. My naine is Joe Knox and I am running for this honor. Those of you who know me also know that I am dedicated to representing the student voice on campus through Commuter Council, Student Government, the Student Center Board, a faculty committee and with various college administrators. I have also devoted much time and effort in voicing student concerns and perspectives off campus (on the state and national levels) as Director of the To the Editor: Financial aid for post-secondary education is in grave danger of being severly reduced. I am not saying this to be sensational or controversial. I am simply stating facts. Unless Congress does something soon, EVERYONE'S financial aid from Washington is in trouble. All of the programs offered by the government face drastic cuts. Here is a rundown of the issues as they exist now: The B.E.O.G. Program (now called Pell Grants) is about 1.2 billion dollars short of funding to maintain grants at last year's levels. Failure to rec;:eive this additional funding will result in a maximum grant of $1 ,260, approx- and Elections Chairman, and is currently a member of the Executive Council: Al Wirkman has taken an active part in all campus activities. He attended most every college event and has worked with enthusiasm . He does his best to do everything possible for the students. He has fought for student rights, student financial aid, and as a representative he has done a lot for Wilkes College. I would strongly urge every student to vote Al Wirkman as their next Student Government President. Sincerely, Beth Hammer imately 30% less than last year. This will become effective for the Fall, 1981 semester. To make matters worse, President Reagan has frozen processing on these grants and asked Congress to come up with a new Family Contribution Schedule. This can only mean more cuts in the program. Remember, these cuts will become effective this Fall. The Guaranteed Student Loan is $600 million short of the funding required to keep this program funded at last year's level. These cuµ can only hurt the more than 350,000 grant recipients who depend upon the GSL to meet college costs. The National Direct Student Loan faces a decrease of 38 % of its funding. This will - force some 135,000 needy students out of the program when institutional demand for these need-based loans exceeds one billion dollars. These are the issues. The next question is: How do they affect me as a student at Wilkes? The answer is simple. If you are a student who receives any of these grants or loans, you can be affected. You may be one of the many students · across the country who could be forced to withdraw from school. _You may be forced to leave Wilkes to go to a state or community college. If you are content to think 'that this can't happen to you, then you can stop reading now and face the consequences later. If you are worried, or at least a little concerned, then read on .. If you a,re against these cuts in student aid, then it is very impor- Coalition of Independent College and University Students (COPUS) . I strongly believe that the student voice should be heard and listened to. I hope you will support my campaign. For those of you who do not know me, on April 1st, there will be a Presidential Forum in SLC 101 at 8:00 p.m . Presidential candidates for Student Government arid Commuter Council will present their platforms and answer questions from the audience. I hope I will see you there.

As a Senior at Wilkes College, I had to make this decision three times in the past. Each time I voted, I based my decisions on who had the most experience, greatest leadership qualities, and most important, who would do the . most for .the students. Well, this year my decision is easy. Al Wirkman has been a member of the Student Government for the past three years. He was this years Homecoming Chairman, he has served as Publicity I feel, to sponsor a weekend that was not only fun but different . Sometimes, the best events· fall through not because of lack of planning but because of lack of pizzazz, of uniquemess. I feel it's important to strive to be creative in our events. In the three years as S.G. rep, I have always tried my best to inform students, to find answers to their questions. and answer the "why's". I intend to continue this attitude if elected. College can be frustrating . Tuition goes up; financial aid goes down. Test follows test. We have pressures from all around. We have needs; needs to alleviate the pressure, to have a good time in order to reduce the stress. We also have academic needs; where do we turn if we run into problems; if we need someone to talk to? As student government president, I intend to work my hardest to do the best job possible for the entire student body of Wilkes College, to protect and stand up for their best interest and to work on determining their concerns in academics, social life, communication and student service . Therefore, I would appreciate your support on Election Day, April 2. Sincerely, Ana Nunez We get ... tant that you make your feelings known to your Representatives in Washington D.C. by writing them letters. COPUS wants to help you do this . We have the addresses and the outlines to help you . But, we can not do this for you . YOU, ALONE, have to make sure that your voice is heard. You have to write letters and the time to write them is now. If you don't care or you just don't bother to write, you have only yourself to blame if these cuts become effective. The time for action is NOW . Also, this time is fast running out. The House and Senate Budget Committees are meeting now. The Senate Budget committee has already approved more cuts than the President had asked for .. If you do not write and write soon, it will be too late and anything you say will mean nothing. · COPUS does not want · this to happen . I am sure that most of you feel the same way. If you write the letter and _address the evelope, COPUS _will make sure that it gets maile<l. We CAN beat these cuts and we CAN make our voices heard. It just takes a little bit of effort. If you have any questions, contact Joe Knox, Rich Myers, Joe Horrox, John Finn, Carl Kadtke, · Robbie Bale, or stop in the COPUS office Mon. through Fri. between 11:00 A.M. and 1:00 P..M. The office is located on the second floor of the Student Union Building. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have. In conclusion, let me add this: Together, we CAN make a difference. Richard Myen COPUS "Quarterly." While I always enjoyed reading the publication, I found one article particularly disturbing in this issue. As an alumma of the depart' ment, I found the story about the Department of Language and Literature incomplete. The debate team is never mentioned once throughout the article. It should be noted the debate team is the most successful group to be under the roof of Kirby Hall. While at Wilkes, I never had the courage to join the team, although I wished I could. I never thought (and still don't) that I had what it took to be a public speaker and always admired those who could do it, and do it successfully. Dr. Kinney and his crew of "Kinney's Kids" deserve a lot of credit. His dedication to the students should have been noted somewhere in the article. He is a member of that department's faculty, so it should follow that the debate team is technically under the "catch-all" -term Languages and Literature that seem to include everything but the kitchen sink in Wilkes academia. As for "articulation," like the title suggests, well, the debaters are the most articulate persons I've ever known in Kirby Hall. Obviously, the Publi<, Relations Office has overlooked the most successful group on campus. My question is, HOW? In the future, I would hope that the "Quarterly" staff would double-check its contents before going to press. Inaccurate articles such as these do not make me feel that my donation dollars are worthwhile. I will remain anonymous in order to avoid any finger-pointing and other nasties that fill some people's days at Wilkes.

First, the social life on campus must be improved. Second. the student body must become better informed. of the activities of Student Government. Third, our greatest source, the student body, should be tapped by S.G. Fourtfi, Wilkes sfudents should have an impact on college policy when the issues concern us. Fifth, Student Government must realize that we represent, serve. and attempt to satisfy the needs of Wilkes students. Finally, only through a united student body can these changes become a reality. Immediately. the question arises. how do I plan to achieve these goals. The social life can be coordinated such that every weekend activities are taking place. Also, S.G . should begin a campaign to lower the drinking age in the state. If this was achieved the.party policy would be changed radically, but in a way favorable to both the students and the college. Two commuters and resident hall students must be invited to Student Government meetings. More importantly, non-S.G . representatives will be placed on committees. By doing this more students would help shape the college policy. Also, issues confronting S.G. should be published so that students can understand a problem fully and then express their opi• niontoS.G. However, we can only be effective if S.G. works with LR.H.C., C .C . and most importantly, the student body. For ooly if all the students are united can we have an impact on college policy. We must prove to the administration that we want to improve Wilkes College f~r everyone's benefit. by John Finn Last October, several students from the commerce and finance department established the Student Advisory Board, a committee designed to provide fellow students with a format in which they could openly or confidentially voice their comment or greivance concerning any aspect of their department.

The Veterans' club consists of 22 written members but only 10 or 12 are active in it . The club was not that active during the Fall semester but according to new club president Bill Fought, "We're in the process of starting it over." There are about 70 veterans on campus but most of them do not have the time to belong to it . Mr. Fought stated that the reason veterans don't get involved in the club is because they are married or they have work when the meetings are. Fought also said, "Because we are all different majors, this club is a secondary club to most vets because if they get involved in a club they usually get involved in one that has to do with their major, like biology." The Veterans' club use to be very active at Wilkes and, according to Fought, it will be very active again in the future . Blood Drive Slated For Next Thursday The third and final B1009 Donation Day of this academic year has been slated for next Thursay in the college gym between 10:00 and 4:00. The process of giving blood is not painful and it takes only about one half hour to 45 minutes. There are over 2300 potential donors on campus including faculty, administration, staff, and students. Prizes will be given to the residence hall and club with the largest percentage of donors. Refreshments will be served to all those giving blood.

They can also begin by being referred to Act 101 by their instructors, or by their Act 101 advisors. Students can go for tutoring any time during the semester. The tutoring schedules are devised by Mary Ann Greene, coordinator of the Act 101 tutoring program. Usually the tutoring is done during the day at Ross Hall. However, the tutor and the student can make other arrangements if necessary. Students are tutored on a one to one basis, but' sometimes two students prefer to be tutored at the same time, if they are both receiving help in the same subject. The students are generally tutored about two hours a week, but they can have more time if they feel they need it. Greene holds a training session for tutors once each semester. The tutors, who usually have a 3.0 average or better, are peer tutors and are experienced in the subject they are tutoring. They are paid for their work; it is not a volunteer program. The training session teaches the tutors how to treat the students and how to help them with their problems. Sometimes a film is used for training. The session lasts for approximately one hour. The Act 101 program is a special program designed to give those high-school students who score low on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (S .A.T.) a chance to succeed in college. Act 101 students who feel they need tutoring can seek help and advice by going.to the Act 101 office located at 251 S. River Street, or by calling extension 366. Opportunity ·only KNOX ONCE! for C.C.

He continued, "You can't turn your back on anybody in this division," noting that he will count on all 28 players for a good year. Kaschak mentioned that be is happy with the way the team is pulling together. He added that every player is doing what is asked of him which greatly adds to the team's overall efficiency. Asked to comment on the effect that press coverage and criticism has on the players, Coach Kaschak replied that he has a simple philosophy regarding this aspect of sports. He said that he tells his players, "Rankings and newspapers are just like rat poisoning, they won't hurt you if you don't swallow them." It should be an interesting year for the Colonel Baseball Team, one which may end with an MAC title. Colonel Power "This is the first time since I have been here that we have any depth at all."

J ,I �March 2'7, 1981 The Beacon, Page 11 Area Expert Explains KungFu Art by Tom Jordan Many of the old Chinese people did not want Kung-Fu taught to Americans and, until the late 1960's, Kung-Fu was not taught to non-chinese people. In fact, the late Bruce Lee was one of the first masters to teach Kung-Fu to Americans. Because of the untimely death of Bru~e Lee in 1973, many rumors about his de_a th were started. One of these rumors is that he was killed by Chinese Kung-Fu masters because he taught KungFu to Americans. However, one American who did learn Kung-Fu is Sifu Cindy Rothrock, teacher at the Shaolin School of Kung-Fu in WilkesBarre. Sifu Rothrock not only has black level in Kung-Fu but also a black belt in Karate. She has studied the martial aiv for almost ten years and said that she first started it because it would be a "good form of exercise." Sifu Rothrock has been competing in tournaments .since 1975 and has won 235 trophies. She has been rated number one form competitor in the United States by a national survey from the rating systems of "Karate Illustrated" magazine. She hs also been awarded a plaque for "Top Form" competitor in 1978. Sifu Ernie Rothrock, owner of Chuck Robbins .. .

'M .,....., the Shaolin School of Kung-Fu, is a black belt in Kung-Fu and has studied the art for 13 years. He is one of the best, if not the ~t, Kung-Fu master on the east coast. Ernie has entered some tournaments, but according to Cindy "he is more concerned with running the schools" both in Wilkes-Barre and in Scranton. Ernie and Cindy were invited to Hong Kong and Taiwan this past summer to demonstrate Kung-Fu. In Hong Kong, according to Cindy, "There are a lot of schools of Kung-Fu there, but they are real small. In fact, one was on a roof top, that was their school, t;he roof top." In Taiwan, they found that Kung-Fu was hidden. The masters taught their students in the park early in the morning. Each instructor taught in his own spot in the park. One instructor Cindy met in Taiwan was a 68 year old master of Kung-Fu. The master taught Cindy a form of Kung-Fu and was so impressed with how she learned the form that he might come to America. The people of Taiwan were also very impr~ with her. She said, "Each morning as I was working out, peopfe would come over to watch me. Each day more and more people would come to watch and start clapping and cheering." Kung-Fu tournaments consist of light contact, form and weapons. Light contact is a form of sparring or fighting without really hurting anybody. Form is scored lilce gymnastics on a system of one to ten points. Weapons consist of doing a form with a weapon of Kung-Fu. There are 36 classical weapons of Kung-Fu, the most popular of which are the sword, ·spear, staff and nunchalcus. The nunchalcus are a weapon made popular in many of the Bruce Lee movies such as "Enter the Dragon" and the mive he was working on before he died, "The Game of Death." As stated in part one of this story, Kung-Fu is a great way of self defense. Students of Kung-Fu learn it not to hurt people but to protect themselves. When students learn Kung-Fu they must have respect for it and also have respect for the masters who teach it. Diamondmen Down Johns Hopkins U. by Pete Steve The Colonels of Coach Dave Kaschak evened their exhibition record this past weekend to 2-2 with a 7-1 victory over Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, Maryland. Jim Kearney picked up his first victory of the season with relief help in the eighth inning from Tony Vlahovic. Kearney did not walk a batter while striking out six.

The Blue and Gold started the season off with a lo~ to Randolph Macon by a score of 7-6. Coach Kaschak said the game was close but the team made the kind of mistakes you would expect out of a ball club in their initial contest. The diamondmen then split a twinbill with Western Maryland in Western Maryland when they lost the opening game 3-1, but came back to win the second game 9-1 . Top hitters on the day for the Colonels were Ned Sandercock who had five hits, and Chris DaRe who had four hits. Bob Miller suffered the loss in theHrst game for Coach Kaschak's troops while Rich Geffert picked up the win in the night-cap. Jirri Michaels started the second game but was relieved by Geffert in the fourth inning. Geffert walked none and struck out five in notching his first win on the year. The Colonels will take the field once again on the 28th of March in Kutztown where they will play a double-header against Kutztown State. Their first home app~rance will be on March 31 when they host the Royals of Scranton for ' a double-header.

The weather for the first few weeks of practice has been horrendous. It's been cold and the wind has been bellowing across the Wilkes tennis courts at velocities suitable for testing aircraft (an exaggeration). As mentioned before, a few players have been lost since last year. The gaps have been filled, but by fres hmen, so the team may be considered inexperienced.

Manoski may have a lot of studying before the big match, but he loves the sport, has been playing for years, and is quite a formida ble opponent. A secret source says that Spevak, Battle, and Buchsbaum are all 'excellent' and accord ing to another source, Swirbel is very d I go~h: to beat this year will :~~ms be Elizabethtown, Muhlenberg, and , of course, the infamo us Scranton team (boo-hiss). The rest of the competition may not be as tough , but they want to win, too. A 'wait and see' attitude is the best approach this early in the season . In reference to this year's racketeers, Manoski had this to · have as strong a team as say: "We la~t year; we should be better . . . we will be better. That's our goal.

The team travelled to Maryland where they battled extremely cold weather and compiled a 1-2 exhibition record. The team beat Washington College 11-7, and lost to Western Maryland 8-7 and Washington College in a five inning game 10-7. Winning was of secondary importance as the coaches planned to give the team experience and play different people at vario1:1s positions. These were the primary I I goals of the trip, so it was a very successful one. The schedule for the trip called for doubleheaders against Western Maryland on Friday, Washington College on Saturday, and Mount St. Mary's on Sunday. However, the cold weather forced the cancellation of one game against Western Maryland and the shortening of one against Washington. In addition, the games scheduled at Mount St. Mary's were cancelled due to the NCAA Division II men's basketball championship game. The cold weather made play difficult, but the team still played well . In addition to the cold there were gusting winds which made many of the fly balls to the outfield intriguing adventures for the fielders. Offensively, the team gripped their ice cold aluminum bats hard enough to compile an overall .247 batting average. The leading hitters were sophomore Stacy Keeley at .500, freshman Kim Smith at .428, senior Cathy Poplawsky at .400, sophomore cocaptain Karen Johnson at .375, and sophomore co-captain Joyce Walsh at .333. In the extra bases department , Walsh had a homerun and a double, Poplawsky had two doubles, and Johnson hau a double. Defensively the team played well, and they only committed 16 team errors. The opposing teams as a whole managed to compile an overall. 255 batting average against the Wilkes hurlers. This year's team is led by sophomore co-captains Joyce Walsh and Karen Johnson, and they are~ upported by a talented cast of players. The pitchers are sophomore Cheryl Frystak, sophomore Trish Riley, and freshman Karen Bove. Johnson plays behind the plate and leads the team on defense. The infielders are Walsh. senio r Cathv Poplawsky, junior Mary Jean Farrell, sophomores Stacy Keeley and Lana Lawrence, and freshman Annie Reilly. The outfielders are sophomores Carol Hagen, Ellen Van Riper, and Michelle Weiss, and freshman Kim Smith. The trip was the first ever by the t1:_am an.d was fully funded by the team . During the winter months, the team sold .candy and hoagie sandwiches and held bake sales to raise money. The team would like to thank . and express their gratitude to all the people who bought the above items and made the trip possible. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This breaks down to 271 students per year, which i$ 13 to 14 percent of the total number of students at Wilkes. Dean Lampe, AswciateDean of Student Affairs, stated, "This is a low percentage compared to other colleges." The national total of students that withdraw from colleges is 25 percent. Dean Lampe said that there were many reasons for students withdrawing from college, including maternity, jobs and just taking time off. According to Dean Lampe, many students find that they are just not ready for college at this time so they decide to withdraw. Also, some student's grades are not that good, so Dean Lampe or Dean Hoover might council a student to withdraw rather that have a failure on their records. In the late 1960's, the national total of students withdrawing from college was 6.29 percent. Dean Lampe feels the main reason for the increase in the percentage of students withdrawing from college is that students have more mobility now than students did in the past. Before 1970, students who wanted to attend college had to put money up before they could attend college, because there were no loans or aid for students who did not have the money to go to college. During this time, Dean Lampe stated, "Students just didn't start and then stop college." During the month of September is the time when most students withdraw from college because they are usually homesick or they decide to go to a college closer to their home. From May to August, before the Fall semester, there is a large number of withdrawals. NOTICE The Cooperative Education Offic:,, is now accepting applications for the summer and faU,. Deadline s~::mce1"r : ~r s. Rivel :t. · The withdrawal policy at Wilkes College is in effect each semester until it is time for the final exams. Dean Lampe says that this is a good policy and she feels it will stay in effect in the future. t.

Raspen Settled In Neu Alumni Director Post by John Finn "After thirteen years in the Financial Aid Office, I was ready for a change," remarked Mr. Richard Raspen, who became the new Director of the Alumni Office in November. Raspen replaced Mr. Gordon Roberts, who left in November and is now a high school teacher in New Jersey. Mr. Raspen said the financial aid work was never monotonous; in fact, "it was a very dynamic area because the programs that are administered involve the student's individuality. Each case is different from the next." Raspen says he misses that one to one contact with students, but in his new position, "there is a lot that I was not aware of that has turned out to be extremely interesting, like running into an alumnus whom I knew as a student.'' For two months, Raspen was actually running both the Financial Aid Office and the Alumni Office. His replacement, Linda Giordano, a business education instructor, had to complete her first semester teaching responsibilities and could not assume the responsibilities of the FA office until Jan. 5. Raspen said his transition was smooth, however, because he started in a s!?w period. The big project in November was Campaign '81, and most of the organizational work had been completed by Mr. Roberts. At present, Raspen is running the Phonathons at the Annette Evans Alumni House. He is also contacting over 2500 alumni with a record of making past donations. He will concentrate most of his effort on this project for the next month. On March 18, Raspen will travel to New York City and conduct a telethon fundraiser for alumni who ar·e residents of the Metropolitan area. In the future, he will conduct similar telethons in Philadelphia , Boston and Washington . In addition to his fulltime work in the Alumni office, Raspen is helping Giordano with her transition . "If she runs into a situation that is new to her, she can call me." Raspen is now looking ahead to graduation, when approximately 500 new names will be added to the alumni roster, and new records will have to be prepared. Also, a major event for the alumni committee will be next year's Homecoming activities. The game is already set for October 31, against Johns Hopkins University. i~!~Jt\,~:r -~· ~ . :..

One problem was that a number of people arrived at the party expecting to be able to purchase tickets at the door. "All tickets had been sold out before the event," explained .CC President Bill Miller, "but people claimed they had been told by CC people they could purchase tickets at the door." Miller said that the policy on ticket sales has always been "first come first served,;, and remaining tickets would be sol.cl at the door. "Those who I felt had been mislead, " Miller added, "were admitted at a later time after 10:00, for $2.00. " The original ticket price was $3.50. However, Joe Knox said he was particularly disturbed when he learned that even a few people who had helped organize the event were turned away because they had no tickets. "There were special cases that sould have been handled differently, especially if you have people who worked on the party." Other problems pointed out included food running out early I FundBequestsTopAgenda I and what some members considered the high price of drinks. Coffeehouse chairperson Amy Elias said that the next coffeehouse will probably not be held until the second week in April. She said she does not want to try anything at the end of this month, pointing out that it "would be pretty hectic" with all of the upcoming elections. The Student Center Board has set aside $1000 for a large-screen TV, but will have to ~k SG for additional funds as this was only a downpayment, according to Joe Knox. Knox also said that the board has approved the purchase of a ping-Pong ball dispenser for the basement. The cost will be 25¢ per ball. by Louis Czachor Fund requests topped Student · Government's agenda Monday night. But, first Tom Rooney, SG Treasurer, reported that there is $7474.29 in the SG treasury. It was also noted that in addition to that amount SG has $3000 in a buffer account. The first request came from Charles Boyer of the Engineering club. He requested $254 to allow four students to attend a ·conference on April 23, 24, and 25. He noted that this is the first time the engineering club has come to SG asking for money. When CC president Bill Miller asked if the Engineering Department was subsidizing the students in any w.ay, Boyer stated that that option had not been looked into since the department was already paying for a senior project that some students are working on. Dana Shaffer noted that there would be people from the Biology and Chemistry departments also requesting funds to attend the same conference, and he pointed out that the request for the engineering students amounted to more than $60 per student and if the same amount was granted to the Biology and Chemistry students, NOTICE Executive staff applications are now available at WCLH. Applications can be picked up at the radio station, Darte Hall, 3rd floor. The following positions are open: Station Manager, Public Affairs Director and Station Engineer. The deadline for submitting applications is April 3 at noon. The Book of Lists asserts that Americans fear speaking in public more than they fear "heights, bugs or death. · IRHC---------------------~-----~-- Opens Offie er Nominations by Donna Nitka Nominations for IRHC officers for the 1981-82 school year were opened on Sunday, March 15, and will remain open until Sunday, March 22.

A copy of the proposed new IRHC constitution is available for inspection at the IRHC office. The Food Committee reported that the food service will be revising the menu over the summer. The purpose of this is to delete some of the more unpopular items from the present menu and replace them with new items. The Student Center Bolird has contributed $1,000 toward a new, large screen TV for the Student Center.

Brian Wheeler, representing · senior research students in the Chemistry Department, presented the second fund request. He stated that $274 is needed from SG to ·send 11 students to the aforementioned conference. He pointed out ·that the Chemistry department is paying $237 to send the students to the conference, but he was not sure if all of the students would have to pay anything themselves. The request will be voted upon next week. The third fund request of the night was presented by Jeff Gavlick of Circle.K. He explained that $400 is needed from SG so that approximately 14 Circle K members could attend the Pennsylvania District Circle K Convention in New Kensington, PA. That request will also be voted upon next week. The fourth fund request was presented by Cherry Blossom Chairman Dave Capin. Capin explained that as part of Cherry Blossom Weekend a concert is being planned. The concert had been scheduled for Friday, April 24, and "Dakota" was slated to appear but they backed out. However, it is possible that Dakota could appear .on either Thursday, April 23 or Saturday, April 25. Also, the city gave the committee $600 provided that "Dakota" appear during the weekend, and if the Cherry Bloosom Committee can not get "Dakota" for one of the alternate dates the money will have to be returned to the city. It was noted that if "Dakota" cannot appear, it may cost as much as $2000 more to get another group to perform. The SC body passed a vote of confidence that the Cherry Blossom Committee can use up to $2000 more if necessary in getting a group to perform at the concert.

Knox suggested that a bus be chartered so that students could go that day. Galli instructed Knox to look into prices of buses, and noted that he was in favor of the idea. Galli also noted that SG had been scheduled to move out of Weckesser Hall and into the Student Center on April 1. He suggested that that moving date should be postponed until after graduation since it would not be fair to the new student govern.ment administration to have to worry about moving immediately after taking office. The consensus among the SG reps was that the move should be postponed. A constitution for the Future Educators Club was read for the first time. The meeting was closed and re-opened so that the constitution could be approved. The constitution was read a second time and was passed. Galli closed the meeting by announcing that nominations for SG president will be held at next week's SG meeting. Also, there will be no SG meeting the following week on March 30. Instead, there will be a brief triorganiz a tio nal meeting on Wednesday, April 1 before the presidential forum. f i t ~ Apart:ment & Campus furnishers Quality U~ed Furniture BUYERS SELLERS 825-4733 288-7193 Keith Kleinman Larry Moyer National Championship Tournament.

The economic squeeze has affected the Beacon as well, forcing us to cut back, not on luxuries, but necessities. With the cost of printing, newsprint, and typesetting skyrocketing and a headliner needing constant repair, we find that we cannot operate a 12 page paper on a weekly basis any longer without facing a serious fund shortage. Therefore, in order to s-t-r-e-t-c-h our funds to the end of the semester, we have decided to publish eight pages on a weekly basis. Nothing else will change it will just pea little shorter. his decision was not an easy one to _make. Since last year, the Beacon has improved and increased its service and communication to the college community by instituting the 12 page· issue. This _year, we have been able to basically maintain 12 pages, but now discover that in order to survive financially, we must tighten our belts. Unfortauntely, you, our reader, must ultimately suffer because of our necessary cutbacks. Our reasons for not wanting to reduce our number of pages were varied, including; an inability to accurately reflect the happenings at Wilkes in only eight pages, less publicity and ·fewer promotions to those groups who really deserve it, fewer news, feature and sports stories, and ultimately, reduced service to the college community. · While the quantity of pages will suffer, we will strive to maintain top quality in content - perhaps more for less, though doubtful. While our will to live to the end of the semester triumphed, we find ourselves feeling that we are shortchanging the college community of the news that you deserve to know. Moreover, we are greatly reducing our visibility in the local college newspaper market. The Beacon staff will truly attempt to make the best of a trying situation and beg your indulgence for the remainder of the academic year. _ Please excuse our small size - but like the old adage says - "Good things come in small packages." We are only disappointed that this package has to be so small.

My dlnper compamon, puttmg aside a fat volume full of words I_couldn'~ understand, assumed a patronizingly mature expression and 'told me-than was spoiled. Cars were fast becoming an extremely expensive commodity, he said, ~nd_to wa?t to burden myself with one was mere foolishness. I .stopped hckmg sprmkles and.stared at my friend in disbelief. Obviously this person had never commuted by bus for any length of.time and'didn't realize that the experience can be equated roughly with being allergic to pollen and realizing you're stuck in an elevatpr with twelve Iiari Krishnas; it's incredibly irritating. I set down my now ;de-sprinkled doughnut and began to tell this poor, misinformed idealist a.bout the real world of city transit. It was Thursday, it_was very c9ld, and I was running frantically down South Franklin St. in, among other things; four-inch heels (the original cruel shoes), hoping desperately to catch the.4:15 LCTA Special. As I ~ound~d the fin~l corner, headinginto the home stretch, my heel caught m the uon gratmg of a storm sewer and I went. down with a crash 'that will probably.incapacitate the uhdergrpund City Steam System for many years, I sprawled uabecomingly on the sidewalk, thoroughly embarrassed. I then tried to pretend that I crashed down on public thorough 0 fares as part of my daily routine, and prayed-that it had gone unnoticed. D~entangling my f~ot, I began to draw the attention of a scruffylookmg old man wearmg galoshes and a World-War-I flying cap (the kind with the ear-flaps, you know?) . He watched, amazed, as I contored my leg into fantastic shapes and geometric figures he would occasionally twitch his body to t~e left or right when it looked as though I was going to break free, much the same way a boxing fan will jab at the air with his fist when ·watching his chosen fighter swing at an opponent. When I finally did free my leg, he looked extremely disappointed, as if the storm sewer had somehow thrown the fight . Now overheated,_angry, embarrassed and mufilblirig to the old man that I hoped his ear-flaps got stuck to the wall of a pubiic john, I gathered myself together and got to the bus-stop just as my bus was turning the corner. That did it. Fuming, I proceeded to condemn the bus driver! now out of earshot, and his favorite pet t~ places where there were no women and where every meal was a caf breakfast. I was incense~. Turnin~ in time to see Old-Grizzle-Face-with-the-ear-flaps boarding h!S bus on time, I stomped over to a bench to wait for the next bus home. Getting a seat wasn't e11sy; the competition for space was formidable. At one end of the bench' sat an elderly woman of immense proportions who clutched an overstuffed, plastic, flowered shopping bag tightly to her ample chest, and who glowered at anyone who dared to walk within ten feet of her. Next to her sat a little wrinkled old man . I wasn't sure if he was living. Ne~t to him sat a snotty-looking high school girl with braces, who was stuffed tightly into a pair of Jordache jeans and puffed on a cigarette trying fo look mature. . After carefully viewing the scene, I decided not to sit down and walked over to the bank steps, forgetting how f,;md pigeons are of that particular layer of pigeon presents, so to speak. I gave up and walked over to Boscov'~ for a cup of coffee, noting that it was beginning to rain and I had no umbrella. That is a typical day for me . I didn't even mention the one lady who talks to an invisi?le friend, or the one old man who eats powdered doughnuts and spits on the bus seats, or the young kids who ride the bu~ !o school and blast Van Halen from portable stereos at 7:30 iri the mornmg. · AmyEliu I really do need a car, you know?

You've probably never heard of him. because he prefers it that way. Quietly, anonymously and insanely, he has spent the last decade "behind the scenes" creating the advertising campaigns for literally hundreds of motion pictures - from the G-rated to the X-rated to those beyond ratings. Via newspapers, magazines, poster, TV, radio, teasers and/or trailers (better known as "previews of coming attractions"), Mr. Tatelman has developed the initial : campaigns for countless movies. Often he is called in as a "troubleshooter" to try to save a film that is dying. In fact, he has become known as a sort of oneman Hollywood Red Cross. Born in Newton, Massachusetts, he received his 'B.A. from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. His M.B.A. was earned at the Bernard- M. Baruch College in Manhatten, where he wrote his master's thesis on something he now enjoys stretching - "The Believability Factor in Television Advertising." Today Milt Tatelman may be the young man behind much of Hollywood's wildest hoopla, but he prefers to think of himself as "just another movie-nut." �· Page 6, The Beacon, March 20, 1981 1Fourth OfJuly Celebration Slated For This Weekend I The Office of Career Services announce the following information for seniors concerned with job opportunities.

Last month a state evaluator conducted an intensive two-day evaluation which included interviews with administrators of the college, Act 101 staff and students. Additionally, all files and folders of students in the program were • examined. It was noted that 100 ' percent of the students in the program use the tutoring service. Also, 62 percent use the counseling program. Siles commented that 1 these figures are very high. Siles stated that he attributes the success of the program to the significant support received from the administration and the commitment of the college to Act 101. Also, he cited the program's "very excellent staff" as contributing to the program's success. Siles addi- tionally noted that a great deal of support, assistance and cooperation is received from all of the admi?istrative offices on campus, and the faculty gives a great degree of understanding and support. The Act 101 program is in its fourth full year of operation here, and it has grown from 30 students to over 100 students. The college's Act 101 Program is viewed as one of the strongest in the state because of the "high caliber of students at Wilkes College," stated Siles. He noted that as a result of the evaluation, the evaluator and the state have recommended that the college's Act 101 Program receive increased funding for the 1981-82 school year. An increase in funds means that the program will be able to expand to do more for students. Siles added that the proposal for next year's program is being written and the staff is trying to make it an even stronger program. Siles pointed out some accomplishments of the program, PIZZA ROMA 205 South Main Street (Opposite Perugino's Villa) Neapolitan &.Sicilian Pizza Lasagna, Stromboli, Calzone, etc. EVERY THURSDAY (from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.) All the Macaroni you can eat $2. 39 Meatballs served with first dish) OPEN SIX DAYS A WEEK - Monday to Saturday: 11 to 11 PHONE 825-0938 and stated that there are "very outstanding students" in Act 101.

BEST VALUE TO EUROPE I I �-~ .-~u,.·- . - Kao ~fa- . ------------------- ·:. ----------- . --- , ' te P6•iii.tift·Matit by To~ Joi:4an ·" There are thousands of people throughout the country who are studing Karate, Judo, Kempo, or some other type of martial art. All these forms of the martial arts originally come from the Chinese art of Kung-Fu. Early Kung-Fu was started behind the walls of the Shaolin Monastery by a man called Bodhidharma around 500 A.D. It was started as an exercise for the monks to keep their bodies healthy. Kung-Fu is the ultimate of the unarmed martial arts, but there is much more to the art than fighting. In fact the Shaolin priests, who would be the best fighters, were taught that it is better to run away then to fight. The TV show "KUNG-FU" staring David Carradine showed what the monks had to go .through in the temples. The monks had to develope their minds as well as their bodies, which they did through meditation. The exercise system is based on the movements of five animals - the crane, dragon, tiger, snake an leopard. In the middle of the 1600's, the Manchus invaded China and started burning down the monasteries forcing many of the monks to leave China. They went to countries like Okinawa, Japan and Korea, spreading their art to these places. The moll~ taught the people of these countries the fighting of the martial arts. But because they were different people with a different type of land around them, various moves of Kung-Fu were changed thus starting the other martial arts including Karate and Kempo. There are still some Shaolin temples in China today, back in the mountains. The monks in these temples dedicate their lives to learning Kung-Fu. Many people have heard of the late actor, Bruce Lee who was the king of Kung-Fu, yet it is said that there is no way that he.. would be able to defeat a Shaolin priest. Jackie Chan, star of the movie "The Big Brawl," is a traditional Kung-Fu fighter who uses the various forms, whereas Bruce Lee was more concerned with•just improving his fighting skill. According to Sifu Cindy Rothrock, teacher at the Shaolin school on South Main Street in Wilkes-Barre, _ "Jackie Chan is a good person to watch to see the various forms." She also stated that "Chan will probably make it better than Bruce Lee did." There are many styles of KungFu such as Northern Shaolin, Southern Shaolin ·and White Dragon style. Sifu Cindy Rothrock also said, "There are so many dif- ·. :'';·r~_ ferent forms of Kung-Fu, that even after you reach your Sifu or Black level, many people consider that you are just starting your skills." That is because in KuJ!g-Fu you can always keep learning new forms. In Karate, for example, after a student reaches a certain stage he or she can not go on any farther. Kung-Fu is probably the best thing to learn to defend yourself because of the knowledge a student learns in fighting and evading the strikes of an opponent. KungFu is a system of self-defense in which a person learns to use his hands, elbows, knees, feet and other parts of the body for defense in acutal combat situations. Although this is one of the best ways of fighting, it is not taught for a person to go out and beat people up. In fact, the Hollywood star James Coburn, who learned Kung-Fu from Bruce Lee, stated that "I am in such respect of it (Kung-Fu), that it would be very difficult to force me into any sort of combat. I would be reluctant to fight anyone. I don't want to hurt anybody. I would be very depr~ed by that and highly offended by it, too. I know that if it were a matter of defending my existence, r would use it to the utmost with 1;reat glee." Coburn's statement sums up how the Shaolin priests felt about Kung-Fu and what Kung-Fu was designed for. The conclusion of this story will be in the March 27 issue of the Beacon.

I followed the of rUuals that every younpter goes through to prove his or her loyalty to the sport. I spent my weekly allowance on baseball cards, played rubber ball in the schoolyud until it was too dark to see, and worked my butt off to become a little league ball player. When I hit junior high school, I still loved the sport more than anything else. Friday nights found me out tossing the ball around with one of my pals instead of speeding in circles at the nearest roller kating rink. Even when my first heart throb came along, my baseball glove was always close at hand, usually squeezed under the front seat of my Chevy. Although my serious baseball competition is now contained to Friday night softball during the summer, I manage to fill my huner for the sport by following the major leagues with undivided attention. I was presented with an added delight this past fall when my all time favorite team (the Philadelphia Phillies) won the ultimate in baseball excellence, the World Series. I never thought the time would come when I would find myself dissatisfied with the way baseball was plotting its future. But I must admit that I look forward to this coming season with a bit of fear in the back of my mind. For the first time in my life, I am actually questioning the morals of the sport which is as American as apple pie. With the Phillies questing for another series title, I question whether or not baseball has the same essential ingredients which has made it the great sport it is today. I wonder if it has the ability to survive future problems so other generations may enjoy its splendor. sami series taseball is ·~ g out of hand. What was once and still is a child's game, is now very realistically a big business. I realize that all professional sports are big busin~ but I fear for baseball the most because of its inflated salaries and on field business operation. It is ridiculous when a baseball player can earn more money in one month than the president of the United States. It has been reported that millionaire Dave Winfield will earn ,110,000 a month compared to President Reagan's monthly salary of ,16,666. The sad part of this whole situation is that Winfield is just 'Qne of numerous players who have followed the base paths to lifetime wealth. Another thing which bothers me is the way owners and general managers trade players around like children trade baseball cards. Teams use to take pride in building an organization which would prove itself in the long run. Today, pennants are bought by the owners as easily as hot do~ and beer by the fans in the stands. It is a rare thing to see a ball player who has been with the same club for more than eight years. . The players also disappoint me with their attitudes toward the game itself. Because of the atmosphere which they are surrounded by, they too view baseball as a business. Realistically this is tru~ for it is their livelihood, but there was a time when the competition of the game itself meant something to the players as well. I honestly fear for this sport which so many of us enjoy. I worry about its present status along with its immediate and long term future. My only plea is that it restores its dignity, thus assuring its continued existence. I honestly hope the day never comes when the trading of baseball cards is restricted to auctions .

The Colonels were expected to challenge Syracuse, Lehigh, and Navy for top honors, however, this never materialized. Syracuse finished 1st, Lehigh finished 2nd, Navy finished 3rd, and Wilkes finished a very disappointing 10th. According to Coach Reese, '"We wrestled worse than we ever have in a post-season tournament since I have been here." Besides having the poorest finish .in history, Wilkes failed to send a single wrestler.to the National Tournament. This marks the first time in 20 years that Wilkes was not represented at Nationals. Place winners for the Colonels in the EIWA Tournament were: Pete Creamer, 4th; Joe Birmingham, 5th; and Rick Smith, 6th. It should be noted that the top three place finishers in each weight class advance to the national tournament. Pete Creamer narrowly missed out on a trip to .·nationals as he finished 4th. One Qf the reasons Coach Reese was so disappointed in the Colonels' showing is that they defeated so many of the top finishers in the tournament during the regular season. For example, Rick Smith defeated Mike Rotunda of Syracuse during this year's Wilkes-Syracuse meet, 12-4, however, Rotunda won the EIWA title while Smith finished a disappointing 6th. To add to the Colonels' frustration, Temple qualified three wrestlers for the National Tournament after Wilkes soundly defeated Temple in the regular season match-up 26-12. In that match Temple only won three bouts, sound frustrating, just ask Coach Reese or any of the wrestlers and they will explain how frustrating it really is. The Colonels took a roller coaster ride through the 1980-81 season as they compiled a 12-8 dual meet record, and a 10th place finish in this years EIWA Tournament. The first dual meet of the season was probably one of the best wrestling match-ups a fan could ask for. Although the Colonels dropped a 24-18 decision they gained much respect as they battled the Engineers to the wire. Later that week the wrestlers traveled to Annapolis, MD. to take on · the Midshipmen of Navy, the Colonels saw their record drop to 0-2 as they were soundly defeated 29-13. On Wednesday, Dec. 10 the Colonels finally broke into the win column as they trounced East Stroudsburg State College 33-9. The very next night the grapplers hosted the Tennessee Volunteers and dropped a 28-12 decision. At this point the grapplers had_a 1-3 dual meet record. The last week of December, and the first week of January were the most grueling 2 weeks in Wilkes wrestling history. The Colonels hosted 3 of the top 20 teams in the nation within this period. The Colonels began the stretch by losing to Auburn 26-21. They then rebounded to topple highly touted Clemson 23-17. The Colonels began in the new year by wrestling Missouri on Sat., Jan. 3 and Nebraska on Jan. 4. Wilkes lost to both Missouri, 27-14, and Nebraska, 24-.10. At this' point the wrestlers record stood at 3-6. From this point on the Colonels completdy turned things around as they compiled · a 9-2 record for the second half of the season. They defeated George Mason 38-10, Rutgers 40-9, Temple 26-12, Binghamton State 38-2, Southern Connecticut 39-7, Hofstra 45-3, Bucknell 32-6, Lycoming 45-0 and Franklin and Marshall 30-6 while losing to Syracuse 30-18 and Penn State 22-16. _ At the beginning of the year Coach Reese thought the tough schedule would hopefully pay off down the stretch, and therefore would help prime the grapplers for the EIWA tournament. It seemed as though coach Reese was right as the team showed marked improvement during the second part of t,he season. However mother nature 'did not cooperate and the team deyfloped a severe case of "Spring fever". (During the third week of February the average temperature was a balmy 65 degrees). It is very hard to-continue practicing with intensity, and to keep your concentration when th_erest of your friends 4re enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. · As for next year,,look for the C_olonels to finish among the top 20 teams in the nation. ,,If Coach Reese can find quality replacements for seniors Joe Burmingham (158), Dan Miner (167), and Rick Smith (HWT), the Colonels should have a tremendous year. With Doug Billig, Billy Dodge, Mark Popple, Mark Troutman, Kurt Rowlette, Mark Correll, and Pete Creamer returning, coach Reese should be able to put together one of the strongest teams in the East.
