Capin officially announced that the college is planning to build a new residence hall at the comer of South River and West Northampton Streets. Con~ction will begin in June 1981 on the new residence hall, which will cost in excess of $3 million. When it is completed in August 1982 it will house 205 students. Capin stated that the four story building will give the college increased flexibility in terms of housing its students, and will allow the college to maintain its enrollment in the years ahead. At this time the college houses students in the Sterling Inn Towne. Capin noted that the housing of students in the Sterling has become financially prohibitive, and with the completion of the new residence hall these "off campus students" NEW RESIDENCE HALL WILKES COLLEGE Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania 18766 FACTSHEET LOCATION: Corner of Northampton and South River Streets in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania CONSTRUCTION BEGINS: June 1, 1981 COMPLETION DATE: August 1982 NO. OF FLOORS: Four (4) CAPACITY: Two-hundred and five beds (205) SQUARE FEET: 55,000 (est.) ESTIMATED COST: In excess of $3 million ARCHITECTS: Pyros and Sanderson Architects and Plan ners of Wilkes-Barre, PA · ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: Will maintain character of adjacent buil~ings. Red brick construction. SPECIAL FEATURES: • Structure will be folly air-conditioned and will utilize energy efficient heat pumps. _ • Each floor will be highlighted by lounge areas that will overlook the river common. • Facility will have the capability to attract and house educational conferences and seminars which will help boost the economic base of the area. . • Historic Conyngham 'Facade' will be incorporated into the architectural design of the facility. • Copper Beech trees, long-time landmarks on South River Street, will be saved and become part of the residence hall landscape. • Architectural design of the facility will maintain cornice lines of adjacent buildings and 'blend-in' with the setting. • Design of the building will assist in bringing students INTO the campus proper. Speci~ landscaping will also assist in this effort. 0 will be brought back on campus. Capin reported that the construction of a new residence hall is in line the college's space utilization study which recommended discontinuing the use of older, higher cost facilities . That space utilization study won the first award of merit from the American · Planning ~ssociation. Capin ~ointed out that energy costs in the new building will be approximately $160 per student, where in the older residence halls that cost was between $650 and $850 per student. Capin added, "Many of our present housing facilities are very old and extremely costly to maintain. The new residence hall will give us the flexibility we need while, at the same time, enabling us to use our resources more efficiently and productively." Mr. Donald Sanderson, an architect with the Wilkes~Barre architectural firm of Pyros and Sanderson, explained that the new residence hall will complete the block of South River Street between South and Northampton Streets. All of the buildings in that block which will remain as part of . the college's permanent campus have been refurbished and the new · dorm will fill in the last portion of that block. Sanderson stated that the architectural design of the new building will maintain the cornice lines and features of . ~djacent buildings which will assure that the building blends naturally with its setting." It will be constructed of red brick and each floor wilt be highlighted by a lounge area overlooking the · river common. Also, the building will be fully air conditioned and e.qergy efficient heat pumps will be utilized. Plans for the residence hall call for semi-private baths, that is, one bathroom between every two rooins. Additionally, the facility will have the capability to attract and. house educational conferences and seminars during the summer months in an effort to help boost the economic base of the area. Because of the college's commitment to historic preservation, the historically significant Conyngham Facade will be preserved and ancorported into the architectural design of the new residence hall. Several landmark Copper Beech Trees in the vicinity of the site of Butler Hall will be preserved. Over the past few years the college has spent over one million dollars to preserve and refurbish landmark buildings in the South · River Street area such as Kirby Hall, Chase Hall, Bedford Hall and the Conyngham Student Center. However, three old, deteriorating structures had to be removed to make way for the new building. Butler Hall on South River Street and Susquehannock Hall ·and Shawnee Hall on West Northampton Street were leveled last week. · Funding for the new facility will come partly from a . fund raising drive sponsored by the college, and partly from loans. The college is also looking to the Pennsylvania Higher Education Facilities Authority for a loan. · _Construction will stimulate the local economy by creating 75 to 100 new jobs for the next one-andone-half years. Dean of Management Dr. Andrew Shaw comment- ed; "Construction of the new residence hall is another endorsement of faith that Wilkes has in the city and the community. The facility will help to stimulate the local economy by providing much needed jobs at a time when there is ext~qsive unemployment in the areit'. " When a local media representative asked about any problems _ with the historical society, President Capin explained that the historical society did express a concern about the buildings that have been tom down, but the college and the historical society have, for the most part, reconciled their differences . Capin added that the three buildings were property of the college, a:r;id the college could do whatever it wanted with them. Capin stated that the college is excited about the new dimension to the campus that the new building will be and he added that the college "hopes that the community will join us in our excitement:" NOTICE Due to Spring Break, the Beacon is only publishing 8 pa_ges this week.

The trucks immediately began carrying away the rubble. Student Publications Submit Budgets by Louis Czachor The Beacon, Amnicola, and "Manuscript" submitted their budgets for the 1981-82 academic year to the Student Publications Committee for approval at the committee's February meeting. Mr. Richard Fuller, advisor of the Amnicola, presented the yearbook's budget which totals $31,000. Fuller explained that this figure represents a cost of $15 per student plus $1000 in ·projected income from advertisements. The Amnicola expects Student Government to grant them the $30,000 from the SG budget. This money comes from the student activities fee and allows each student to receive a yearbook. The committee unan imousl y approved the budget, but Student Government must still act to grant the funds . Dr. Norma Schulman, advisor of the Beacon, and Patti Sparlow, editor-in-chief of the Beacon, presented a request with a base figure of $14,025. In addition to this figure, the Beacon projected expenses of '1,200 for repairs and maintenance of machinery and equipment. It was noted that in lieu of this expense, a new-machine could be purchased at a cost of about $1,100 for each of the next three years. At the present time the Beacon has an old outdated Headliner machine which breaks down almost every week and has put a great strain on that publica- · tion's budget this year. The new · machine would mean a savings to the college as well as smoother operation for the newspaper. The Beacon proposal also contains a clause stating that if a onequarter scholarship is given to the · paper's photographer the budget could be reduced by $1,000. The ICholarship would be created so that it would not affect the scholarships already given out by the committee. The committee · approved the scholarship for the uhoto2npher. Th~ hudget that the committee approved totaled $14,125. Last year's budget totaled $11,200, but that was a decrease from the year before. The "Manuscript" requested $4,150. Last year the "Manuscript" was given $3,750. Mr. Jack Hardie, "Manuscript" advisor, noted that if there was a printing office on campus the "Manuscript" could be printed much more inexpensively. Hardie commented that the student audience for the films the Manuscript Society presents is not good. Additionally, the Manuscript Society can not charge admission to the films and can not advertise off campus. The request was approved by the committee. Student Publications Committee Chairman William Sterling announced that he had received word from Comptroller Joseph Chisarick that the college had anticipated budgeting no more than $16,000 for both the Beacon and "Manuscript," and this figure would include expenditures for any new machinery. The committee reviewed the budgets of both publications and decided to take the matter back to the administration and explain that $16,000 is just not enough; On the morning of Tuesday, March 3, three campus buildings were leveled to make way for a new residence hall. The three old buildings, Butler, Susquehannock, and Shawnee Halls, were located at the corner of South Jliver and West Northampton Streets. By the time students returned to classes this Monday, most- of the rubble from the buildings had already been removed. Before demolition was started, windows were removed from the three structures and utilities were disconnected . Early Tuesday morning bulldozers began tearing apart Butler Hall on South River Street. After Butler Hall, Susquehannock Hall was leveled. and then Shawnee Hall was demolished. By noon, the only thing left of the buildings was a massive pile of bircks, plaster, and wood~ tretching from the Conyngham facade on ·South River Street, around the corner and down to Delaware Hall on West Northampton Street. Butler Hall was acquired by the college about eight years ago, after the death of its last resident. NOTHING LEFf - By the beginning of this week almost all of the remains of the buildings at the corner of South River Street and West Northampton Street had been hauled away. Originally it was named Payne Hall, but the name was later changed to Butler. It housed the education department until last summer when that department was _moved to the first floor of Stark Learning Center. Susquehannock Hall was presented to the college when it was Bucknell Junior College. It was SHATTERED - This was all that remained of Butler Hall by· noon last Tuesday.

(See related story.) Mary Kay Pogar informed the SG body that the college yearbook, The Amnicola will be requesting an increase in its budget. SG provides the funds for the yearbook's budget. Pogar also stated that the budgets for the "Manuscript" and the Beacon total over $18,000, and the Comptroller, Mr. Joseph Chisarick reportedly does not want to grant the two publications any more than $16,000. She added -that the Student Publications Committee suggested that the remaining $2000 could possibly be received through SG. ~ SG President Joe Galli asked the SG representatives for their thoughts on the matter. Senior Class President Rob Wallace put it plainly. "No Way," he stated, then added that he thought that the "Manuscript" was good for literary expression but that the other two publications should receive a greater preference for funds. Freshman representative Ralph Pringle commented that he has heard that the members of the "Manuscript" staff make sure that their own work gets pu lished while ignoring contributions from others. Junior Class President Bruce Williams stated that he agrees with Pringle, that he had heard the same thing. At this point Galli pointed out that in order for the "Manuscript" to be included in the SG budget may channels would have to be gone through. He noted that as a result the SG budget would probably have to be increased, and then the Student Activities Fee would have to be increased. Les Nicholas commented that while everyone was knocking the "Manuscript" publication he felt that the films they show "are Great." Pogar noted that the Stu- dent Publications Committee had suggested that the possibility of borrowing films from King's College be looked into. At this point it was also suggested the films could . be borrowed from the local public library. CONCERT TRIP Tom Farley announced that he has been looking into the possibility of having a trip to Philadelphia to attend a concert. Farley explained that SG would charter a bus and purchase enough tickets for a busload of people, and then sell the tickets and .transportation . at a reduced rate. He noted that the only concert for which his plan would work takes place on Satur- day, March 11, and features "REO Speedwagon." He was given a voteof confidence to pursue the idea. Under other business, CC President Bill Miller reported that plans are being made for Cherry Blossom Weekend which has been scheduled for April 24, 25, and 26. Milled stated that plans call for a Concert in the gym on Friday, April · 24. A group such as "Dakota" or "Abilene" would be contracted to perform. On Saturday, April 25; there will be games during the day and a party at night in the gym featuring "Wizard." The games will be concluded on Sunday, April 26, and there will be a coffeehouse in the evening. Under the topic of faculty committees, Galli announced that the number of persons serving on all of the faculty committees will be cut in half. At a previous meeting he had announced that there will be only one student on each of the committees. At the present time there are two students on each of the committees. At that previous SG meeting the SG body had suggested that the number of students not be reduced. Galli announced that the proposal has been changed so that there will be two students on each committee, but only one of the students will have rtfl Siflrilll r'llllJ~fl • illl rlllrlll]llllfllliS r.11[1 ~IJ~iflrn~ voting privileges. Galli also announced that SG's report on faculty advising has been submitted to Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen, and he is waiting for Hartdagen's reply. It was also announced that applications for next year's new student orientation are now available at various locations on campus. Students interested in working on the orientation must fill out one of the applications and return it to Dean Lampe's office by Monday, March 23 . Chris Fellin reported that the Financial Aid Committee has submitted a proposal to College President Robert S. Capin to increase the appropriation for merit scholarships from $40,000 to $80,000, and to change the individual merit scholarships from $500 per student to $750 per student. · SG Treasurer reported for the Social Committee that a social weekend will be held next weekend. It will have a Fourth of July theme and will be partially sponsored by ROTC . Highlights of the weekend will include a dance marathon beginning on Friday night, and fireworks on Sunday night. by John Finn A Wilkes student was assaulted by two men, one brandishing a knife, at the Park and Lock South early in the afternoon of Tuesday, February 17. The attack has prompted safety recommendations to all Wilkes students from CC President Bill Miller. The student, who wished not to be identified, was attacked at 2:00 p.m. inside the Park and Lock while returning to his car following classes. The student hit one of his assailants over the head with an empty bottle, but was then robbed and forced to drive around town at knifepoint. The assault has caused concern throughout the ·entire campus, but particularly from Commuter Council. According to Miller, Wilkes , COIJ!muters use approximately 150-200 of the 500 parking spaces in the building. Although Miller has been assured that the city police will make more frequent patrols of the building, he suggests commuters go to the lot with a friend or in group and park on campus at night. Most campus lots are open after 4 p .m. St. Pat's PartyTo~orrow Night by John Finn The CC-IRHC St. Patrick's Day party will be held tomorrow evening at the Sheraton-Crossgates Hotel in town. The party is scheduled for 8:30-1:00, but the cash bar will open at 8:00. Hot food will be available until 9:30, and cold cuts thereafter. The band , "Risk" will perform . Tickets are $3.50. per person. The Apartment Committee will meet March 17, at 11 a.m. in Stark, Room 1. This will be an organizational meeting and an attempt to involve students who - are interested in finding an apartment. CC President Bill Miller said he has w,ritten to local realtors and will receive monthly listin~ of available apartments. The listin~ will be posted on bulletin boards around campus. IRHC has-completed revisions of its constitut-ion, "with some help from CC," according to president Janine Tucker. Also, selections of new resident ll(i~rs were made recently. On Tuesday, March 3, seven members of COPUS/Wilkes traveled to Harrisburg, and following a day-long state organizing conference, visited State Senator Martin L. Murray to discuss proposed F,'ederal and State legislation that would have farreaching effects on college financial aid programs. According to Executive Director Joe K;nox, the conference was another step toward establishing the Pennsylvania Independent Student Coalition (PISC), which will be an ~iation of independent colleges and universities throughout the state . In old busin~, Miller reminded -eouncil members that a financial aid workshop will be held on Thursday, March 19, from 11-1:00 . in Stark Lobby.

CLASSES. Drug of the 801' s OK, so the party's a drag. The music is lousy, and the people are snobby. Well, it1l cook in a while, after a few more 80 proof refreshments you won't know the difference. The party may turn out to be OK after all. As long as there's enough booze, who cares about anything else? After all it's the booze that makes or breaks the party - and you can't have a good time until you've consumed more than your share. Later, you stumble back to your room in the wee hours of the morning, only to wake up in the wee hours of the following afternoon with a splitting, crashing, pounding headacl'ie and a mouth that tastes like a toilet bowl. "What did I do?" you moan. Only you can answer that question. This so-called "social drinking" can become more frequent, spilling over into the daytime hours and · weeknights, until you can't face any crisis - maior or minor - without having a drink first or immediately after "just to relax." Mid-morning eyeopeners from a shotglass could then become more frequent than orange juice. While social drinking plays a very important role in the lives of many students, the final scenario is . usually called alcoholism . Six out of every 100 people are alcoholics . If these statistics are even slightly accurate, then out of the approximately 3000 people at Wilkes College (students, faculty and administration), there is a possibility that between 150 and 200 could be alcoholics. What are the danger signs? How does a person change from a social drinker to an alcoholic? The answers to these questions are not simple, but the facts are sobering. One person in ten who drinks becomes an alcoholic. Why? Most often, escape. A whole spectrum of cont ributing factors, such as a variety of pressures, can contribute to the person's need to "get away from it all ." How can you tell if someone is an alcoholic? Of course an alcoholic can't be spotted simply by appearance. A closer look, however, may reveal some indicators of problem drinking. Do they react to problems by pouring a drink? Is getting drunk a regular occurrence? Do they often report to work/class with alcohol on their _breath? Have they been involved in any unexplainable accidents without any evidence of a plausible cause? Are there excessive absences from work/class? Are there personality changes, such as increased irritability or memory losses? Do they disappear from view for long periods of time during the day? If you can answer yes to some of the questions either for yourself or someone you know beware of a possible pi:oblem. Remember, the battle is half over when the problem is admitted. If you know someone who you think has a drinking problem, the National Council on Alcoholism suggests: 1. Don't cover up for problems caused by drinking. There will be no desire to do anything about the problem drinking if they don't have to face the consequences. 2. Don't increase the guilt of the alcoholic by embarrassing him, yelling at him or scolding him. This may cause them to rely on it even more just for survival. 3. The alcoholic will have bottles hidden away, so don't try to hide, spill or lock up bottles. The alcoholic will always have another bottle hid den somewhere and will usually outwit the person trying to cut off their supply. 4. Don't drink with the alcoholic. This will only reinforce the problem for that person and you may end up with an alcohol problem yourself. 5. Finally, go for help. Alcoholics Anonymous is only a phone call away, like many other help groups. Remember, the first step in solving a problem is admitting it. So the party's a drag. The m usic is lousy and the people are snobby. Don't drink- leave. 'Concerned Reader To the Editor: I am writing in response to your editorial comm.e nts printed in the February 20, 1981 editorial of the Beacon. Your editorial referred to the alleged "cheap shots" taken in three letters also printed on that day. I and many others did not find these letters distasteful, just honest. None employed any pro- _ fane or objectionable language and all were well written and thought provoking. The "cheap shot" came from the Beacon, when it referred to the student's letters in far less than complimentary terms. (Why did you not exercise your much praised editorial prerogative and correct the spelling mistake whose existance you so maliciously pointed out?) It is the supposed policy of the Beacon to welcome letters of comment . I question how many you will recieve under the present conditions. True, it is not the paper's role to stir up controversy, but it should riot run from it either. The Beacon should serve as a medium for the expression of students concerns, whether of not they involve the administration. The cowardly position taken by the Beacon this past semester in regards to publishing anything which might make the administra- ' fictitious. This does not mean that it should avoid all subjects which might make someone sit up and take notice that things are happening here at Wilkes. Things which are not always what the students would want. It is the Beacon's responsibility to report all the news concerning the students. And as EDITOR'S NOTE: This letter is in reference to the editorial _in the "Concerned Reader" who would face the consequences, rather the publisher and editors of the Beacon. , As stated in the editorial, "while the Beacon always welcomes input from students, the Beacon does not wish to become a method for per- · the editorial, it was questioned why avenues of input provided by the Beacon such as Letters to · the Editor were not ltsed for achieving responsible ends, but instead were · being aimed - at individuals anonymously in one instance; a· definite abuse of the privilege of freedom .of the prea.

Moreover, "Concerned Reader" is correct, the Beacon has a responiibfllty to print anything that is not considered slanderous or libelous. However, -inany comments that were stated may be interpreted as such, and tt would not be sonal vendettas or revenge. This is not the Beacon's purpose_and anyone familiar with . . . journalistic ethicuhould be aware of this." It should also be noted that in light of the above quote, the Beacon is only trying to practice what it believes to be responsible journalism. The lcinds of thoughts provoked by letters of the lcind printed in the February 20 issue are not the type of thoughts that should be running through the minds of intellectual college students - rather constructive ideas and suggestions for improvements should Heard at a car dealership : "The big challenge to the U.S. auto industry now is to make a car small enough to recall through the mail ."

The sparks lit by our publication could not even light a birthday candle! As one last question I ask, where is the Publications Committee? students' minds. Whether or not Dr. Hartdagen chews tobacco can hardly be termed a "Wilkes Happening." Believe it or not, the administration reads the student newspaper more than the students do - they know the Beacon exists. There is no need for the Beacon to stoop to the type of exploitive journalism suggested by '"Concerned Reader"; the type of journalism that conflicts with every code of ethics present in the profession. Moreover, "Concerned Student" claims that students should look for "intellectual improvements not passivity." Anonymous attacks on an individual can hardly be called intellectual or even fair. H "Concerned Reader" is so concerned about the quality of the Beacon and student life at Willces, let thfs atudent come forth and bP. known to the entire ·student ·body, Don't they read these scraps of paper which pass as a newspaper?

In answer to the criticism about the Beacon's typos, one can only say that typos are inescapable even for the professionals. Have you checked your textbooks lately? .Or any professional newspaper? They have typos, too. (Spealcing of typos, the word in the third sentence of "Concerned Student's" letter is existence and not existance . as the author spells it.) Concern for the quality of life can only be manifested through an attempt to improve the situation. In this light, the Beacon is now accepting applications for next year's editorial staff. Since "Concerned Student" is so worried about the quality of the Beacon suffering, the Beacon welcomes an application for Copy Editor from this person. 1 �March 13, 1981, The Beacon, Page 5 1------------Beacon----------Editorial ApplicationsAvailable All freshmen, sophmores and juniors are invited to apply for Beacon editorial and business staff positions for the 1981-1982 academic year.

KarepWeltman by John Finn If you're lucky, and unless you decide to build on the San Andreas fault, chances are you'll never have the floor of your home collapse beneath your feet while you're ironing. Freshman Karen Weitman of King.non was not quite so lucky, but she was fortunate enough to escape such an incident-with ht!I' life. On Monday, Feb. 16, Karen was ironing in a room on the ground floor of her split-level home at 806 Nandy Drive in Kingston, when she heard an explosion and strong winds. "At first I thought it was a tornado, but when I looked outside, I saw it · was too bright for a tornado." Realizing that something else was terribly wrong, she warned her young brother and a cleaning lady, the only others in the house. They immediately went to her father's house, two doors away. Later, Karen was to learn that the house was built over an airshaft that was part of the old Pettebone coal breaker. The airshaft opened and a large section of the concrete floor collapsed. For a few · minutes, only a carpet separated Karen from the 30 ft. deep hole. Almost as unsettling to Karen was the fact that after living in that house for 14 years, her family had never been told that it was built over an airshaft. She explained her surprise at remarks from neighbors and borough officials after the incident, 'They repeated- ly made comments like 'well, we always knew about the shafts, but we never thought anyone would be dumb enough to build a home on one of them.' " A contract has been awarded for repairs, but meanwhile the foundation is still cracking and the home is sinking. The shaft will be plugged with backfill material and steel ties will be placed across the mouth of the shaft to support the house. Previously the ties were made of wood . r-.------ ----.

It was reported that the girls refuse to move their f~et, play cards, refuse to leave and ridicule one of the cleaning ladies during the 15 minute period (12:30 to 12:45 p.m.) designed for cleaning the T.V. room . Dean Art Hoover advised the Board, to ask the students to cooperate, but he cautioned, "If there's still a lack of cooperation, I want to be called." · Regarding th_e Student Center itself, it was suggested that candy machines be placed in the basement. Also, Dean Hoover recommended that the Board keep the Student Center open on Friday and Saturday nights to give the students a place to go.

Tony is this year's cocaptain and has .11 the qualities of a team captain for next year. Like "J.J.", Tony has to work on being a driving force in every game that the Colonels play in, a task which he will achieve very quickly. Pat McCue was probably the most under-rated player on the team this year. His b.11 handling ability and importance to the team became evident to everyone in the Albright game when he was out with an injury. Pat is the spark plug of the team and keeps the team moving. His maturity as a player will certainly show next year and should provide the Colonels with the necessary push to make the MAC playoffs once again. What Pa has to work on is ·his outside shooting. He is a good shooter but needs to take more shots and improve his shot selection. 1A hot hand for Pat next season would make him the perfect guard. Pat Romish has made a very impressive case this season as to why he should start next year. He filled in nicely when needed and provided the added muscle under the boards. His outside shooting was good and his b.11-hawking ability was very impressive. Pat must improve in the shooting category in order to ch.llenge Paul Scaliti for the starting role. Pat's mental game could also be improved, but this is something that comes with experience. Fin.lly we come to the man at the top, coach Righter. Coach Righter has done an excellent job. with the Colonels' basketb.11 program. His recruiting seems to be working quite well despite only its one year existence. He is a coach which gets into the game (sometimes too much), and inspires his players every step of the way. He is what the program needed ancf will undoubtedly end the Blue and Gold's playoff jinx very shortly, probably with an MAC crown. It was an exciting year, one that will prove to be the foundation of a Division III power. The ,win in the playoffs will come, followed by another, and • another.

Congratulatipns on a fine season Colonels and good luck in the future. the floor, was a 78.5 percent free throw shooter, averaged 12.0 points a game, and had an average 7.0 rebounds a contest. Pat Romish filled in greatly for Paul Scaliti and averaged 5.5 points game, was a 51.1 percent field goal shooter, averaged 2.8 rebounds a game, and was 80.3 percent from the charity stripe. The ball handler of the team Pat McCue shot 43,3 percent from the floor, averaged 4.2 points game, was a 74.4 percent free throw shooter, and had a 1.8 rebound average. It was an interesting season for the Colonels and after watching them for most of the season, some thoughts about the team and the year. Without a doubt the main force behind the Blue and Gold .11 year was senior captain Mike McCarrie. Mike was everything a coach would want out of his captain. He was the best shooter on the team as far as free throws go (at one point he was the best in the nation in Division III), and lead the Colonels point average. But beyond these statistical goals, Mike lead the team in every aspect. He directed the plays, started the fast breab, and got the basket when it was needed. He knew enough when to slow the place down and yet was the one who would ignite a scoring frenzy. Mike was a true leader and if he had a fault, it was his over eagerness to win. He is one player that will be hard to replace. Kevin "J.J." Walker was a power underneath the boards for the most part of the season.

Even though this was impressive, they dropped important games to both Scranton University (63-56) and King's College (63-60).

The Wilkes swimming team is preparing to compete in the MAC swimming championships. On the first day of competition the diving is to take place. Diving coach Bob Lewis has reason to be optimistic, for he has Reed Bello diving. Reed did not disappoint. Reed, admittedly nervous on his .first few div.esm got his act together to finish a highly respectable third. Reed's exploits have almost b'ecome commonplace to Wilkes fans. However, another Wilkes diver turned out to be a pleasant surprise. His name: Frank Gardner. Gardner, a senior from Newark Valley, N.Y., probably is diving as well as he has all year. He reached the consolation finals and settled for 11th place, not a shabby performance fo r someone diving in the shadow of Bello all year. · The next two days saw the swimming part of the championship. Rob Doty, a senior from State College, also reached the consolation finals and also settled for 11th place for the best swimming performance for Wilkes . Although Doty is the only name mentioned, it should be pointed out that all of the swimmers improved their times from the regular season. From a team that went 0-7, that i,t:'only what can realistically be expected. The misfortune of the whole ~ n is that the Colonels success will be measured in wins and losses. Despite the poor record, coach Greenwald, coach · Lewis and all the swimmers . showed tremendous determination and class in plugging along when all seemed lost. The gradual improvement in their times throughout the season is a tribute to that dogged determination. The 1981 edition of the Colonel swimming team was not successful in the win column, but they experienced valuable lessons of humility, and teamwork, and most importantly, they experienced the thrill of just competing.

Inside Tenur e 11 p.3 Cele brat ion Review p.6 E IW A Preview According to Dean of Management Dr. Andrew Shaw, there are various options being explored at this time. "There-are alot of things we are still not comfortable with . When we come up with any options, we will recom mend them to the President." He further commented that a look would be taken at what would best be justified on · the third floor . In accordance with Labor and Industry Rules and Regulations, and also with handicapped laws, an elevator was installed from the basement to the third floor . A sprinkler system was supposed to have been installed, also from the basement to the third floor, but was found to have been too expensive.· In December, 1979 , Business Manager Charles Abate and Eugene Manganello, personnel director, convinced the Department of Labor and Industry to install a smoke detector system which , according to Abate, produced about a $50,000 reduction ' in costs. Repairs and renovations are continuing on the third floor . At an estimated cost of $75,000, the Student Center's third floor is being painted and rewired, and the smoke detector system is being installed throughput the entire building. .

This committee then composed a questionnaire and distributed it to a random sampling of student . spring Break Library Hours p. 11 I Shao, will be placed in Weckesser where SG and CC were formerly located . The reasoning behind this, Shaw said, is that sometimes information for grants comes in late and it is important to have this office close to the administrator who has to sign the grant proposals, in this case Dean Hart- · dagen . The move of the research office will free an office for Dr. Mahmoud Fahmy of the Continuing Education department, which falls under Shaw's jurisdiction. Shaw concluded, "This is by no means the end of the line. ROTC and the political science department will be moving, also . We are utilizing the Space Utilization Plan - one that is being implemented to save money." Advising Cobamittee ------------------ r---------------------, 1 I I 1 1 I by Lisa Gurka The move of the SG and CC offices was part of "long-term plans of the college to consolidate facilities by taking out of service obsolete, inefficient buildings," according to Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management. Shaw commented that the move really took place four years ago when the College received as a gift, the Conyngham house. The College had to decide whether to tear it down or to rehabilitate it . At that time, however, students were requesting a building for a student union. It was then determined that the house could best be turned ·into a student center with a snack bar and a variety of offices, including SG and CC. · The concept, according to Shaw, was for a place where students could meet and discuss, among themselves, any problems they were having . Another thought was that it could be . a place which would bring about a greater interaction between dorm and commuter students, and also between Wilkes students . and members of the community. In fact, Shaw said that the WilkesBarre Chess Club will be holding their weekly evening sessions in the Student Center where Wilkes students could participate in the activities. · Since 1972, Wilkes has eliminated 14 obsolete buildings, and is hoping to eliminate perhaps 6 more. The escalating costs of maintaining the buildings is an important factor here. The research offices, run by Dr. The library hours during the Spring Break will be as follows: Feb. 28, Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p .m . March 1, Sunday Closed March 2- 6, Monday-Friday 8 a .m. to 5 p.m. March 7, Saturday Closed March 8, Sunday 2 p.m. to Il)idnight The library will resume regular hours, Monday, March 9. I , 1 I I I ~---~---------~-------~ The results of the survey were used to construct the committee's recommendations. The recommendations deal -with workshops for advisors, office hours of advisors, departmental meetings, advisors for conditional students and advising of special program students. SG president Joe Galli related that after the recommendations are gone over by Dean Gerald Hartdagen they will be placed on the agenda of the annual department chairmen's meeting in March. Galli explained that the next step would be to call certain students to discuss the recommendations with the department chairmen. Finally, the recommendations will be put to a faculty vote. PURPOSE This project was promoted through Student Government to provide a more beneficial and effective faculty adv-ising policy for the students. INTRODUCTION This project was started in September of 1980 by selecting a special committee consisting · of two students from IRHC, two students from CC, two students from SG and two students .from the student body at large. The committee then formulated a quesContinued on page 2 �Page 2, The Beacon, February 27, 1981 Sec a r i ty Force---------------------------- Provi des Safeguards by Lisa Gurka Del-Cap, the largest security agency in the region, is employed by the College as the security force ori campus. "Del-Cap was hired after an extensive study and analysis to determine the adequacy of the organization to perform on a campus as large as Wilkes," commented Dr. Andrew Shaw, dean of management. The security guards are intended to serve as a deterrent force to acts of vandalism and to provide a more safe and secure campus through their patrolling on a zone basis. There are three main zones of patrol, with one man assigned to every zone. The first zone includes the area between the Student Center and the" Hotel Sterling; the s~ond zone runs from the Student Center up to the New Men's Dorm and the gym; the third zone constitutes the area from the men's dorm to West Ross Street. The guards are also responsible for punching a check key which is recorded on a time clock. Maintenance is responsible for locking the buildings, and security patrols the perimeters of the buildings and checks the doors to make sure they are locked. There are security desks located in Pickering and Stark Halls. According to Shaw, the security guards are certified people who receive training and have back-up forces. Some of them have training in CPR. Shaw also commented that the guards are reliable, and there is always someone here. The security guard's chain of command starts first with the R.A.'s, second the Director of Housing is contacted, then the appropriate Dean of Student Affairs, and finally the police. However, the seriousness of the incident determines who will be notified, Shaw commented that this is done so embarrassment will not be caused to either the student or the College. However, if a security guard notices a person removing items from the bookstore or a residence hall, he has the authority to contact the police directly. Eugene Manganello commented, "All of us should become more security conscious by making sure all doors are locked behind you, and things of this nature." RELAXING '- A Del-Cap Security guard is shown relaxing after patrolling the campus. Security patrols the campus grounds regularly as a precautionary measure. Many guards are trained in CPR and other lifesaving methods. cc------------------------------------------------------------- Location Of Coffeehouses Uncertain by John Finn The new setting on the first floor of the student center for last Tuesday's coffeehouse "worked out well," according to committee chairman Amy Elias, "but we could have used more room," she added, touching on an aspect of one problem she encountered which exe·mplifies a larger issue facing the council. Originally Elias wanted to hold the coffeehouse in the lobby of Stark Learning Center, which she believes would have provided ample space for the activity. The location was not approved by the President, so the coffeehouse was held in the student center. The location of future coffeehouses, however, is uncertain. Elias is considering the next one, but remarked that plans are "up in the air until the Stark situation is settled.'' The question later raised and discussed by the council was, "What exactly will the lobby be used for in the future?" President Bill Recommendations Miller pointed out that "the lobby was never intended for its present use.'' It was originally to be only a lobby. Recently, rules have been posted prohibiting eating, drinking and smoking in the area. Miller said "We want clarification from the administration as to what it (the lobby) will be used for.'' He said he will recommend to the Student Affairs Cou~cil that the area be used for a multi-purpose lounge. The St. Valentines Day party is set for March 14, the Saturday after we return from Spring break. The party will be at the Crossgates hotel on the square. There will be a large smorgasboard, free soda and a cash bar. The band will be Risk, formerly Bingo's Diesel. Tickets are 3.50.

Commuter Council discussed a proposal now before the faculty committees that will reduce the size of those committees. Bill Miller explained that e3ven though the number of student votes on the committees will be reduced from two to one, the student input will not be weakened because the total committee membership would be reduced. Miller said that few schools have student representatives on faculty committees with a vote, and "we must not lose this privilege.'' Advisor Dean Hoover said "one of our greatest strides was when students were included in the process."

STORE HOURS: "SERVICE BY PROFESSIONALS" PHONE: 823-6177 �February 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page3 Work continues On Tenure by Louis Czachor According to Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen the College is working on the second part of its tenµre document. He commented that this second part, called "Tenure II," will be completed so that the college will have a complete tenure policy by next fall. Tenure II will deal primarily with termination and grievance procedures. It will set up all the procedues needed to handle various situations. It will establish a way to handle non-tenured faculty, and it will set up the pro.cedures by which a tenured faculty member may be dismissed. Also, Tenure II ·will set up an appeal process as well as all necessary safeguards. Hartdagen stated that· he cdbld not comment on what would happen to faculty in heavily tenured departments if the enrollment drops. This problem will be addressed by Tenure II. Hartdagen listed seven heavily tenured departments. These are departments in which all or close to all of the faculty are tenured: art, biology, chemistry, education, history, mathematics and computer science, and physics. A person is considered for tenure because of his performance in three areas: teaching, because if a person is not a good teacher, everything else is irrelevant; research and publications; and service in a variety of forms including service to the department, service to the college, and service to· the community. In addition, consideration for • tenure can go beyond these points since these categories vary from field to field . In most cases, a faculty member is reviewed in his sixth year (there is a seven year probationary period) . If the decision is made not to award tenure, the seventh year is given as the terminal year . However, some faculty are considered for tenure before the seventh year. Faculty members can be given credit for up to four years teaching experience at other colleges or universities. Also, if a person comes in at a rank higher than assistant professor, he may be considered for tenure before the seventh year. A full professor can be considered in this second year, while an associate professor can be considered in his fourth year. The actual decision process begins at the departmental level. In each department, a departmental review committee composed of all the tenured members of the department meets. The review committees use the student evaluations, visits to candidates' classes, the cani:lidate's self evaluation, research and publications, and an interview with the candidate. The committee makes a recommendation to the department chairperson for or against tenure . The recommendation is signed by all of the members of the review committee. The chairman of the department also writes a recommendation, although his recommendation does not have to be the same as that of the review committee. Both recommendations are sent to the Dean of Academic Affairs and are then transmitted to the tenure and promotion committee. The tenure and promotion committee is composed of six tenured faculty members who study the given material, interview the candidate and the department chair- man, and can call other witnesses as well . When the committee feels ready, a recommendation is made to the president of the college as to whether or not tenure should be awarded . Also, the . dean of academic affairs submits a recommendation on each candidate to the president. Based on these recommendations, the president makes his own recommendation to the Board of Trus'tees. Each May, the Board of Trustees acts on all recommendations and the candidates are notified within a week as to whether or not they have received tenure. Hartdagen explained that the same process is used in promotion of faculty members. He commented that it is a very thorough process built on very important student input in the form of the teacher evaluations. He stated that the teacher evaluations are probably the single most important part of the whole process. Hartdagen explained that when a person receives tenure it is expected that under normal circumstances that person can have a position at the college for the remainder of his professional career. Tenure is a sign that the college has decided that the person is the kind ·of person the college is willing to make a commitment to.

Letter Policy Rumors have a way of getting totally blown out of proportion . This fact can clearly be seen on our own campus. In the past few weeks, rumors have been circulating that numerous rapes have been occurring on the Wilkes campus . The number has risen almost weekly, and now ranges anywhere between one and ten. The strange thing about these alleged rapes is that not a single one has been reported to the deans or the infirmary. Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR) tell us that¾ of prevention of rape is awareness . Women everywhere should be aware ol the fact that they could possibly ·be a · potential rape victim. Avoiding dark, secluded areas, not walking in these areas alone, and not hitchhiking are only a few things that can reduce a woman's chance of being attacked. But what if a woman is attacked or, even worse, is actually raped? What should she do - keep quiet about it or report it? While we realize that a woman feels hurt, angered, embarassed and even guilty that she has been raped, she should report the assault to SOMEONE, and seek a medical examination as a safeguard against disease and pregnancy. Reporting a rape to the police does NOT mean a woman will have to prosecute. What it does mean is that the police will have a record of the rape, and possibly a description of the alleged rapist. This may give the police a lead in possibly preventing a rapist from further assaults . It is interesting to note there that out of all the rumored rapes on campus, not one has been reported to anyone in a position of authority. We have only one question. Why? If one listens to and believes these rumors, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that there is a mad rapist running around campus and no one cares . Why aren't these alleged rapes being reported to anyone? We would think that at least one of these supposedly numerous rape victims would want something done to prevent the possibility of another rape and have enough sense to report it to SOMEONE! Rape is a very serious, violent and degrading attack on a woman. It is not a crime to be raped. It is a crime TO rape! For a woman's own physical health and psychological well being, she should report a rape. On the other side of the coin, just exactly .what are the deans and administrators of the. college doing to find out about the truth to these rumors? We think there should be some sort of investigation into these rumors to find out the truth about who has supposedly be.e n raped . It we as students are expected to function properly, we should be expected to do so in a safe and secure college atmosphere. If anyone has been assaulted in ANY way, please report it to someone so something can be done to prevent the attack from happening again!

Noting how well-written, concise and accurate the articles appeared to me, I thought with chagrin that English 254 was destroying my brain and hurridly turned to the article on this week's Student Government meeting. One paragraph caught my attention and held it, the way a cold mountain breeze suspends, with invisible hands, a sparrow in the early morning sunrise (Gee, I love that kind of talk). The reporter stated that Joe Galli (President of S.G. and extremely sexy alligator-lapel person) stated that the faculty policy committee stated that ... I forgot. Oh yes, they all stated that the number of people on faculty committees is to be.. reduced . The suggestion appeared sound enough; it seemed to me that the committees on campus needed to be more tightly organized. I began to think, which I have been told by friends is, for me, extremely dangerous and that I should refrain from it as much as possible, "How many committees are there on campus, anyway?" Not having facts and figures readily at hand, and being, at the time , not particularly disposed to running out and obtaining any, I ventured to make a guess which would reflect my familiarity with the subject, would show that I knew the organization of college administration and would be a feasible, approximately accurate estimation of the prevalence of campus committees. I concluded that there ·area lot of committees on campus. And then, jµst as the cold mountain spring water shocks the newly born grass which peeps through the rich, black humus on the stream's bank (don't stope me - I'm on a roll) an ideal burst into my brian. (0. K. so it didn't burst. But it did sort-of plink in the back of my head right after my pencil broke.) Why not have this one, big, huge, mongo, mother of a committee whose purpose would be to-get this-do nothing except keep track of all the other committees on campus? Think of the organization! Everybody would know just what the hell is going on in all of these little subversive committees that meet in weird places after everybody else's committee meetings are over. Everybody would be able to see how many committee names begin with the letter Y Everybody would know that the same fou rteen people serve on every committee on campus and that the different names are just a front used for tax purposes. Everybody would begin to realize that nobody likes English department people on a committee because they invariably end up correcting the spelling on the agenda. Ev~rybody would begin to realize also that psychology department people are dangerous committee members because half-way into a meeting they begin to write -disgustingly nasty little things in their little black notebooks about the Chairperson's desire for power, recognition and his two-year-old springer spaniel. I really think a committee to organize committees is truly needed here at Wilkes. Perhaps I'll sug-gest it at my next committee meeting.

With over 80 members there is no question that it is one of the largest clubs. And as for activities well, a brief list of a few of the society's accomplishments this year should convince anyone that Dana was justified in making that comment. This year's activities included two Bio Seminar Nights, building a Homecoming display, participation in the Great American Smokeout in November, and various social events.

It should be typed in double spaced format on 8•,4zxll white paper. This rule will be enforced and tlle editors reserve the right not to include any information received after this deadline or not in the specified for_mat. Although the Biological Society is primarily a social organization, members of the club always try to integrate some aspect of biology into the socializing. One example of this is the Charles Darwin Party, which is co-sponsored by the society and the Biology Department. This year's Darwin Party was held just last Friday, February 13. The Biological Society has also visited the Montour Preserve as a club. Earlier this year the society· held a hikjing day at nearby Camp Kresge. The day combined socializing and a nature hike. As - further evidence of their involvement with biology, the club holds several functions throughout the year which are more academic. This year Bio Seminar night was started at which students and faculty are invited to present the findings from the research they are conducting at the college. So far this year, Rob Wallace, Valerie Van Dyke and Jessica Jahngen have · discussed their research. Also in connection with research, the club sponsors people from the club and department who wish to present their research at the Eastern College Science Conference in the spring. The club also sponsors club members who go to the conference to support their classmates. Of course, the society is not in existence for only academic reasons. Many social events are held during the year to provide relaxation from studies. For instance, a pizza party was held at the beginning of the year to welcome freshman to the club and the department. In addition, a luncheon for the freshman was organized to enable them to meet other club members and bio majors. And the Christmas Party, co-sponsored by the society and the department, turns out to be one of the most eagerly anticipated social events of the year. · Perhaps the reasons the club is so active is because it is wellstructured to meet the needs of its large membership. In addition to the four officers, President Dana Shaffer, Vice President Chris Vool verton, Secretary Pete Konicki, and Treasurer Tom Casey, there are also several committees, each with a special function.. The social committee plans all th.e social events throughout the year and tries to get each club member involved in these events. The fund-raising committee is responsible for promoting and organizin g all fund-raising activites, such as bake sales and hoagie sales. The .Pl!blicity committee informs both members and non-members of the upcoming ac:tivities planned by the society. Finally, the Program committee, along with the A.I.B.S., (American Institute of Biological Sciences) which is a sub-committee of the Biological Society, plan Bio Seminar nights and guest lectures. at club meetings, and any other biologically-oriented programs for which the society is responsible. The Biological Society, then, has much to offer anyone interested in the biological sciences. But what is the function of the society? According to Dana, "The biology department is one of the largest on campus and the Biological Society should act as unifying factor for all bio majors at social gatherings as well as in biological activities. If it's their major, they should be interested in the society and should try to get involved as much as possible."

"Celebration" a musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, brought the feel of spring to the audiences, and the smell of success to director Michael O'Neill. The play ·was sold out both Friday and Saturday nights. The players gave a performance worthy of all the publicity the play received. The two and a half hour musical showcased the talents of ·Russell Curtis, who . played the part of the Orphan to perfection, . and of Sharon Wheeler, who sang the part of Angel well. Tom Butcher as Potemkin and Mr. Christopher Golanski as Edgar Allen Rich also topped the list of fine performers in this play. In addition to the leads, the Potemkin, played by Tom Butcher chorus performed well in its bows in submission to Edizar Allen various capacities. Some of the Rich while the harbingers of spring best moments were provided by watch in the background. members of the ensemble and by the revelers. "Celebration" related the story of the love of a boy for a girl with some interference from an old man, who is also vying for the affections of the girl. But the message in the play goes much deeper than the love story. The transition from winter to spring parallels the love story, and becomes symbolic of the difference between a life is mere existence, and one that is truly lived. This difference is typified in the conflict between they innocent orphan and the artificial, unemotional old man. At times bizarre, but always enjoyable, the play was indeed a "Celebration." The musical was a mixture of rather diverse elements, but it was a mixture that blended well. The splash and the color of this celebration will be long remembered.

If you remember, last summer Wilkes was informed that the gate on Red Cross property would be closed, cutting off access to a walkway frequented by commuters and others who parked their cars in the Park-and-Lock. As the situation stands now, the owner of Chacko's Bowling Lanes has put no fence around his property and students continue to use this property as a cut-through to the Park-and-Lock. According to Bill Miller, President of Commuter Council, a work order will be giv~ to Wilkes maintenance to fix up the walkway behind Hollenbach Hall; the ragged fence there- must be removed and eventually lighting may be installed. Miller stated that in the spring he will take to Mr. Chacko to see if an agreement can be reached about establishing the walkway as a route to the Parkand-Lock for Wilkes students. Problems had begun early last summer when pressure from an insurance company prompted the closing of the Red Cross gate. Red Cross property had sustained some damages, and even though there was no evidence linking Wilkes students with the damages, the insurance company involved threatened to raise · Red Cross' insurance costs if Wilkes students were allowed to continue using the walkway. According to Miller, after the gate was closed in July he and Student Government President Joe Galli ·considered three solutions to the problem: the bias.ting of a hole in the wall located behind Weckesser and the opening of another direct walkway; the rerouting of student traffic l!round the block or behind other buildings, but thereby blocking direct access to the Park-and-Lock; or, finally, the constructing of a walkway by Hollenback Hall. The last option seemed to be the best. After speaking with Paul Adams, Wilkes' Housing Director, and the · family who lives in the home next to Hollenback, Miller spoke with the owner of Chacko's Bowling Lanes . The planned Schedu Jed The Departments Languages & Literature and Philosophy and the English Club of Wilkes College are pleased to announce the continuation of an informal series of evening lectures for the Spring semester: Professor Michael O'Neill, "The Playwright as February 26 Existentialist: Tom Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" 7:30 p.m. in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Don Leslie, "Pascal and Existentialism" March 10 7:30 p.m. in Stark Learning Center 342 Professor Patricia Heaman, "Joyce's Stephen March 18 Daedalus and the Incertitude of the Void" 7:30 p.m. in the Darte Center for Performing Arts (upstairs lounge) Nancy and John Topolewski, "Present and Absent April 1 Priests: Existentialist Characters in Iris Murdoch's The Time of the Angels and Ignazio Silone's Bread and Wine" April 15 Possible TO Park -And -Lock Leet ure Series April8 February 27, 1981, The Beacon, Page 7 7:30 p.m. in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Chris Fox, "Swift and the Irrational: Or Gulliver's Travels, A Comedy of Incomprehension" 7:30 p.m . in Kirby Hall 102 Professor Norma Schulman, "The Play of the Imagination in Shakespearean Drama" 7:30 p.m . in Kirby Hall_IQ2 LONDON SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS A chance to study and live in London A wide range of subjects and courses is available in Central London for students of the social sciences.

At this time, Chacko had just put costly shrubbery on his property to comply with city ordinances and was also planning to put a fence around this area. At Miller's suggestion, he agreed to allow Wilkes students use of part of this property as a walkway, if a gate were to be put in the fence at the expense of the College. Unfortunately, the agreement had not been quite solidified when someone tore out some of the shrubbery Chacko had just had installed. After this incident occurred, Miller said, the business owner became adverse to the idea of a walkway and the idea was temporarily discarded. Miller ended by saying that everything is being done to accom~ modate those students who park their cars in the Park-and-Lock. He added one comment~- at two o'clock Tuesday afternoon a male Wilkes student was accosted in the Park-and-Lock by two men carrying knives. This is the first incident of this kind that has occurred in ·the parking area . Miller warned students to be careful when going to the Park-and-Lock after dark and, if possible, to park on campus lots at night when they are open . He added that security for the Park-and-Lock has been increased and that local poiice will begin to patrol that area frequentl y. NOTICE It's Cherry Blossom Time!

Improve Securit y ? by Tom Jordan Have you ever wondered how large corporations like Exxon and Mobil seem to always be prepared to profit no matter what happens in the fu ture? They hire people who can anticipate the future. These people don't anticipate the future by using crystal balls or astrology, but by studying in a course called "Futuristics." Dr. Frank Darte, teacher of the fu turistic course at Wilkes, stated that "there is a growing interest around the country in the futu re." Years ago people weren't that interested in the future because they figured that the world's resources would last forever . But, since the oil shortage in 1973, people are starting to realize that Men of Colonels "It's a very serious situation . could be established to start an Perhaps a work study program escort service for the protection of the girls." AndyTelesz Freshman "Put more security around the campus." zines like Time and Newsweek cover stories on the future. There are over 700 colleges and universities in the United States that now offer courses, integrated programs and degrees in the study of the future . Wilkes College will offer the course Futuristics: The Study of the Future (Ed . 398) in the Fall semester of 1981 . The course will discuss world problems, alternative future and then break down into the interests of individual students. For example a Communications major might want to study the communication systems predicted to exist in the futu re. Although the Futuristics course is listed under education, Dr. Darte stresses that the course is not just for education majors but is open to all majors. Any student interested in any furthe r information on the futuristics course should contact Dr . Frank Darte in room 1 36 of the Stark Learning Center. we have to look to other resources to survive.

The conference program consisted of topics such as world food, health and medicine, natural resources, science and technology, energy and the robotic future.

A study of 1,608 students at Kansas State Universi~y. during the spring semester of 1979 suggested tht too much free time reduced academic achievement. The study reveals that free time can contribute to procrastination and poor study habits, according to Jerald W. Dallam , associate director of records, and Donald P.

The program is unique because it goes a few steps further than many job services which simply provide a listing of available employement. According to the program's coordinator, Karen Alberola, the JLD tries to identify and develop jobs with businesses and then match students according to their preferences and abilities with openings. The JLD is accessible to anyone attending Wilkes. JUt:hough the program is affiliated with the placement office, only students who are presently enrolled may participate. Since the official opening on January 5 of this year, the JLD has , already placed a few students in accounting positions at several local banks. "The response is much greater than we expected," Alberola commented. "We have approximately 60 to 100 students registered and we are presently contacting more than 40 employers to introduce them to the program." Alberola explained that the JLD has created a "job-bank" - an upto-date listing of available work, which at present includes about 12 different types of jobs ranging from hospital orderlies to radio announcers. Some full-time positions are available, but as with all of the jobs, there is no academic _credit involved. This is not a co-op or work-study program. Although the JLD seeks to match a student's' skills and career goals with an appropriate job, this is not always posible. Alberola said KEEFER'S ARMY & NAVY •Largest selection of jeans and corduroys the "students have been very understanding in this matter. They realize we cannot guarantee employment-matching, but we do try. We also encourage students to seek positions on , their own as well." Interested students may register for the program at either the main office in the Roth Center on River Street (Mon.-Fri.), or the office located on the second floor of the student center, (Tues. & Thurs., 2:30-4:00). Registrants are asked only to be as specific .as possible about employment interests and previous work experiences. Ms. Alberola concluded that she is "very pleased with the program" and is "enjoying working with students and employers."

Marathon Set ForJaae Over the last 5 years, a total of 500 walkers, including over 200 university students, have trudged 250 miles from Santa Barbara, California, to Tijuana, Mexico, on the Tortilla Marathon. The annual foot-bruising 10 day Marathon is a fund and consciousness-raJSmg v nture held in late June that supports Los Ninos (The Children), a non-profit, international program that works among poor children who live on the U.S .-Mexican Border. On June 19, 1981, the sixth annual Marathon will leave- Santa Barbara with 250 walkers, but this _ time there will be a major difference - 50 walkers will not be • returning. When the last mile is walked on the 10th day, 50 of the walkers will remain at the border - for 2 years - to participate in a project aimed at alleviating the misery suffered by an estimated · 200,000 ninos who live along the 2,000 mile border strecthing from ' Tijuana on the Pacific Ocean to Matamoros on the Gulf of Mexico. The project is called the Border Development Project and its initial goal is the establishment of 10 operation centers, called Justice Houses, along the entire border. The 7 year old interfaith organization, based in Santa Barbara, is now seeking 50 people to work in the Border Development Project. Interested persons need to write to Los Ninos, 930 E. Gutierrez St., Santa Barbara, California, 93103, telling how they fulfill the criteria for parti~ipation. They will receive additional information and participate in a screening process that '1nay lead to an interview near their own communities in December or January.

This past Saturday night the team traveled to Juniata and defeated the home town favorites by a score of 66-53. This key victory together with an F.D.U. Madison win of King's gave the Blue and Gold their first playoff sport since the early 70's. The cagers were in a dog fight with the Monarchs all year for the second position in the MAC playoffs and as it so often does, it came down to the last game of the season to be decided. Most peciple felt the Colonels did not have it in them to pull off the n~ary win on the road against a tough Juniata squad to notch the playoff berth. Ron Righter will be out to break the playoff jinx the Colonels have established over the past three decades. The Blue and Gold has appeared in three playoff games, once in the 50's, once in the 60's, and once in the 70's. Unfortunately, they have lost all three times. This is the 80's and it undoubtedly will be a challenge to the team and coach Righter to break this playoff loosing streak. The team the Colonels will face in the playoffs will be Albright College. The game will take place tonight at 9:00 p.m. in -Reading Pennsylvania. The Colonels will count on some key people in this very tough match-up to pull off a victory. Leading the team into this game as did all year will be senior captain Mike McCarrie. Mike is a 6-5 Political Science major out of Philadelphia and is one of the tallest guards in the MAC. Mike lettered every year at Wilkes and last year lead the team in scoring with a 15.0 point average. This year Mike had the distinction of being the leading free throw shooter in the nation in Division III. All year Mike's outside shooting has been the key to many of the Colonel's victories. A hot hand for Mike usually meant a Blue and Gold victory. Mike will have to use his outside shooting and leadership qualities tonight if the Colonels are to-beat Albright. One of the key players all year for Ron Righter has been Tony Madden. The 6-4 junior from Pringle came to Wilkes last year from Temple University. The excellent play of Madden last year earned him the honor of being selected cocaptain this year. Last year he lead the team in rebounding and field goal percentage . .Tony is an Accounting major and will be a key factor if the Colonels are to pick up a win tonight. His outstanding rebounding ability along with quick movement to the basket makes Tony one of the best all around players to wear a Colonel uniform . He will have to use his 210 pound frame to get inside and sink some baskets when the Blue and Gold need them . Helping out in the middle will be 6-7 junior Kevin "J.J ." Walker from Springfield, New Jersey. Kevin is a Business Administration major and ranked 8th in the MAC in rebounding and 9th in field goal percentage last year. When "J.J. " is hot underneath, there is vertually no one who can stop him. His 6-7 frame is one of the biggest in the MAC, and his rebounding ability is excellent. Kevin will have to establish himself under the boards very early if he is to be a key factor in the game. A on-night in the shooting department would also help seal the lid on what could be the Colonels first playoff victory Kevin "J.J." Walker The ball handling ability of guard Pat McCue is one of the biggest assests Ron Righter has had all year long. The 5-10 junior Business Ad ministration major from Kingston learned his talents while playing at Wyoming Valley West. Last season Pat lead the team in free throw percentage, assists, and steals. This season Pat has used his ball handling ability to seal numerous game for the CQlonels, especially when a stall was needed in the last few minutes of play. Pat's outside shooting to the Colonels overall attack. Together with Mike McCarrie, Pat adds the need·ed outside threat in the Blue and Gold's offense. Double figures and some swift ball handling ~ what the Colonels need out of Pat toni ht. PatMcCue The fith man on the court for the end of the season has been Pat Romich. The 6-4 junior from Pottstown came in to fill the shoes of Paul Scaliti who was injured about three quarters of the way into the season. Although Paul Scaliti was a big part of the Colonels' offense, the team did not loose much when Pat Romich came to fill in. Pat provided the needed outside shooting along with some excellent board work to keep the offense at a top running pace. His passing ability is also a factor which aided the men inside to sink some key baskets in MAC play. PatRomich Although coach Righter claims that his bench is not as strong as Ron Righter some benches around the MAC, the play of the people he has used has been outstanding. Bob Antonelli, a 6-2 freshman guard from Nanticoke, has given the Colonels a outside threat for the future as well as the playoffs. His cool shooting ability from the outer points on the court aid in the destruction of opponent's zones. Ross Zanghi, a 5-5 sophomore from Scranton, provides the needed spark to the club when things get flat for the Colonels. His excellent passing ability sets up many fast breaks and easy baskets for the men inside. His fired up play may be a necessary element in a Blue and Gold win tonight. Ed Kershaw, 6-0 freshman guard, and Greg Hytchko, 6-3 sophomore guard-forward are the two utility men on Ron Righter's bench. Both players add the necessary qualities to round out the Colonelss team. Both could play in pressure situations and give coach Righter the depth he needs out of his bench for late period scoring drives. The Colonels will have to get the best out of every player tonight if they are to capture their first MAC Playoff victory. Although the game is in Reading, . the team has proven that it can win the big ones even on the road (this Saturday's game against Juniata). In a season which coach Righter felt would be a .500 showing, the Blue and Gold has come on to prove themselves worthy of a playoff berth. Although a playoff victory would be great, the season this team has had is an achievement in itself.

Attendance will be greatly appreciated. by Doug Williams The league's first place team, Geekanooza, continued their stranglehold on the league by taking all three games from Triskadekaphobia. Elsewhere, the No-names fell one game behind the Geeks by dropping one out of three from Bowlahoola. The Aristocrats kept pace with the leaders by beating the Maniacs in all three games. The Aristocrats were led by Steve Levitski who rolled a fine 200-549. The rest of the league is finding the blistering pace set by Geekanooza to difficult to keep up with, as many teams are fading in the west. This situation, however, should not discourage the lower placed teams. Only half the season is gone and anything could happen in the second half.

Mills is also the defending National champion and has a very good shot at defending his title successfully later this month. He should totally dominate this weight class barring any upsets or injuries. Wilkes' Doug Billig lacks tournament experience since this is his first year in the college wrestling ranks . Besides Mills this weight class is very balanced and the remaining place finishes are totally up for grabs. If Billig wrestles to his potential, he could possibly gain a place finish to help the Colonels cause. 126 This is a very competitive weight class and there is no clear cut favorite. Among the top · "& wrestlers are Doug Heinbach ' (Navy) , Tom Husted (Lehigh), Dale Mills (Syracuse), and Wilkes' own Billy Dodge. Dodge who possesses an 11-5-1 dual meet record should be seeded in the top t,pree and has a good chance to win this weight class. Dale Mills,. the brother of Gene Mills, also is a fine . wrestler and could be heard from during the weekend. Tom Husted should gain some valuable points Billy Dodge to help Lehigh defend their EIW A team title. 134 Daryll Burley of Lehigh ~--. should totally dominate this weight class as he is a two-time EIW A champion. Burley is also the defending national champion at 134 . Bill Pincus (William and Mary) and Dave McDonald (Army) should be seeded in the top - three in this category. Kurt Rowlette will represent Wilkes in this category and should surprise many people during the weekend. Rowlette who finished second in this year's Wilkes Open will not be seeded very high, but could find Kurt Rowlette himself going head-to-head with Burley in the finals . 142 The 142 pound weight . class has no dominating wrestler, but Gene Neighman of Cornell will probably be seeded #1 at this year's EIWA Tournament. Neighman who placed·third in last year's tournament has compiled a fine 22-0 reco rd th is year. Wilkes' Lenny Nelson should give Neighman some stiff competition and ' will probably be seeded second in t his class.

If Catalfo is healthy he should definitely win this weight class. Other contenders are John Schaefer (Navy), Ed Wohlander (Army), and Dan Galdi (Columbia). John Johnson will represent Wilkes in the EIWA Tournament. Johnson who compiled a 6-5 record this winter could find the competition very tough at this, his first EIW A Tournament.

Joe Burmingham of Wilkes will be a strong contender in this weight class as will Mike Rodgers of Navy. Burmingham and Rodgers wrestled to a draw in this year's Wilkes-Navy Match. Look for Wilkes' Joe Burmingham to finish in the top three this weekend at Princeton. 167 John Reich of Navy, the defending EIWA Champ is returning this year, but should find this year's competition to be very competitive. There is no clear cut favorite, but Reich will probably be seeded #1 since he is the defending champ . Keith Kreider (Temple) will probably be seeded second and should do well . Wilkes will be counting on Mark Correll who as a freshman has compiled a fine 11-4-1 record . It will be interesting to see how Correll handles the pressure. If he wrestles well he could easily be among the t-to_p_t_h_ree_h_·n..is_h_er_s_. 177 Colin Kilrain of Lehigh 4CrP '.'"'""'. should be the winner in thISi!i"i·lil~tJillliiiliitlliiiTiil!JifiiJ, • .. . . . ._... category as he is a two time EIWA Champion. Kilrain also finished t third in last year's national tourna- ,: ment and should do very well at nationals again this year. Pete ' Creamer of Wilkes should finish second behind Kilrain in this year's event and will earn some valuable team points for the Colonels. Creamer is a very fine wrestler and has compiled a 16-2 record against some of the finest competition in the country. Creamer only a sophomore is very talented but he Pete Creamer may have to wait until KHrain graduates to win the EIWA Title. pus of Princeton University this weekend (Saturday and Sunday) to participate in the annual Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Aswciation Tournament. The Enginners of Lehigh a perennial favorite will try to defend their EIWA team championship. Lehigh again has a strong team and should successfully defend their title. Coach Thad Turner of Lehigh will be counting heavily on several wrestlers to gain valuable team points. At 126, Tom Husted should place for the Engineers and could possibly win the weight class. At 134, Daryll Burley is probably the most domi#i/ nant wrestler in the tournament. Burley will most probably win the title and could win the national title as well. Jim Reilly (158), Colin Kilrain (177), and Drew Keiser (HWT) could also conceivably win titles. With that group of stellar performers it is no wonder why Thad Turner will seem very relaxed at this weekend's event. . Syracuse could possibly give Lehigh a run for their money for the team championship. Syracuse also has some very fine wrestlers in Gene Mills (118), Chris Catalfo (150), Curt Honis (177), John Dougherty (190), and Mike Rotunda (HWT). Gene Mills will definitely help the Syracuse cause as he is the defending EIWA and National Champ at 118.

Wilkes will send a comparatively young team to Princeton this weekend and this will undoubtedly pay off in the future. Joe Burmingham and Rick Smith are the only two seniors who will compete this weekend for the Colonels. Lenny Nelson and Pete Creamer are two of the best wrestlers for Wilkes and both are only sophomores. Wilkes may have a tough time capturing the team title this year, but they will undoubtedly be strong contender for the next few years. Don't be surprised if the Wilkes Wrestling team is ranked among the top 15 teams in the nation next year. It is a tribute to Coach Reese as he has built a fine program, and the best is yet to come. Enrollment wise Wilkes has the smallest number of any team competing in the EIWA tournament, but I'm sure the Colonels will be among the most respected and feared teams competing at Princeton University this weekend. t------------------~ HWT This weight class will be very hard to seed since Drew Keiser (Lehigh) who was last year's EIW A Champion has a poor 5-8 record. Jay Craddock (Columbia), and Jim Phillis (Harvard) both possess outstanding records but they have not faced many of the top notch wrestlers in this weight class. Rick Smith (Wilkes) has one of the better records in this category but may very well have the upper hand since he has wrestled some of the top heavyweights in the country this year. Mike Rotunda (Syracuse), and Pat Ryan (Navy) should also do well . Rick Smith �1,0 Tl Page 12, The Beacon, February 27, 1981 ~tit le:te: 0f Tlte:We:e:k Jani ata Win Gai _n s Berth by Pete Steve Senior captain Mike McCarrie, playing in his last regular season game, scored 22 points and gathered in eight rebounds to help lead the Colonels of .Ron Righter over Juniata 66-53 at Juniata and clinch an MAC Northeastern playoff berth. The Colonel win, together with an F.D .U. Madison victory over crosstown rivalry King's College, gave the Blue and Gold their fi rst MAC playoff berth since the early 70's. The Colonels fin ished their MAC season with a 8-5 record, good enough for a second place behind No rtheast Champion Scranton University with a 10-3 MAC slate. King's finishel" their MAC campaign with a 7-6 record and a third place finish in the Northeastern Division. McCarrie, who was six for six from the free throw line to remain the nation's top free throw shooter, was aided in the scoring department by juniors Tony Madden with 12 points and Kevin "J.J." Walker with 10 points. Freshman Bob Antonelli also helped the Colonels' cause by hitting for 10 points as well. The game wag close throughout the night with the Blue and Gold owning a slim 37-34 lead at halftime. But the brillant play of McCarrie and Madden along with some excellent ball handling by Pat McCue and Ed Kershaw nailed down the most important victory of the season for the Colonels. Earlier in the week, the Colonels dropped a game to the powerful Huskies of Bloomsburg by a score of 93-79 in Bloomsburg. The Division II Huskies, one of the top Division II teams in the country; had to fight off a second half come back attempt by the Blue and Gold to seal their victory. High scorer on the night for the Colonels was Bob Antonelli who was two for three from the charity line and hit eight field goals for a career high 18 points. Also in double figures for the cagers 'of Wilkes were McCarrie with 15, Walker with 14, and Pat Romich with 10.

But for those who ibave not had the honor of watching him play, his statistics should give a general idea of what he is capable of doing. For starters, he is the leading freethrow shooter in the nation . In Ibis four year career here, he has tallied 1,303 points, making him the fith leading scorer in Wilkes history. This year, Mike has averaged 17 points per game, with a season total over the 400 point mark. He attributes his success not only to the support from his teammates and the advice of his .coach, but also to his father. "My dad is my number one fan." Mike said, "He's also the best!" "I talked to my father before the Scranton game and he said I had limited time left to play ball. He gave me some advice." Mike said, adding that "last week everything came together. I had confidence on the court." In all, he scored a total of 64 points last week. Against Bloomsburg, he tallied 15 points and didn't miss a freethrow . In fact, he didn't miss a shot from the foul line throughout the entire week. In his last home game, against Philadelphia Pharmacy, Mike scored an amazing 27 points, making 13 of 15 from the field. In the final game of the season against Juniata, he scored a game high 22 points and lead the team in rebounds with 8. From the line he was perfect, making 6 of 6. "He had an outstanding week." Coach Righter explained, "He had an outstanding performance all around . As far as I'm concerned, he's the most valuable player in the conference. He blends his talents well with the rest of the team ." "I played every game to win, not to take shots," Mike explained, saying that the entire team had confidence. Tonight the Colonels will be traveling to Albright for the MAC championships and although Mike isn't making any predictions, he did infer that throughout the season, the cards were stacked against Wilkes. Full house or not, the team always seemed to come through. He remembers how the Colonels beat Scranton in Scranton, how they beat Kings when they needed a win, and he also remembers how the team played under a considerable amount of pressure in . the victory over Juniata. They went into the game that night knowing that Kings had lost earlier. Whatever happens tonight, it can be assumed that Mike McCarrie will never forget this season; he did an outstanding job. The Beacon staff would like to commend him · for his fine performance last week and throughout the season. Congratulations, and keep up the good work! 11============================:::61 se·a son............................ -1'..........................ff-#' ......................... SI a. te w ' I Ped Clean by Chris DaRe After seven comes eight, right? Well in the case of the Wilkes swimming team, zero comes after seven. After losing all seven of their meets this season, the Colonels' slate is now wiped clean. As of right now, the Colonels are 0-0. The Colonels have a new lease on life. The seven losses are now history and the swimmers are setting their sights on new goals, namely the Middle Atlantic Confer-ence Championships. The MACs will take place on February 26, 27, and 28, at Widener College in Chester, Pa. The entire Colonel team will participate. The diving portion of the competition will take place on February 26, with the swimming portion to foollow on,the 27th and 28th. Swim coach ,Bob Greenwald is expressing optimism concerning the upcoming championship. "During the last part of our season everyone's times have improved. They should alll be close to their best times at Widener." Here are a few performers for Colonel fans to keep their eyes on: DIVING Reed Bello has had a super season despite fighting · nagging back injuries. He has won every diving event he has entered this year. Coach Greenwald feels Reed has an excellent chance to win. According to Greenwald, "He will definitely place in the top 5." With Reed diving, the Colonels should start well on opening day. SWIMMING Coach Greenwald has very high hopes for all five girls. They could very well be the surprise of the championships, especially Michele Maguire. Michele has been swimming strongly as of late, according to Greenwald. Rob Doty, a senior from State College, is a good bet in the two breaststroke events. Rob has also been swimming strongly lately.

No. 1'8 February 20, 1981 Academic Standards Faculty Approves New Policy The faculty has given its approval to a new policy on Academic probation and ineligibility. The policy was presented by _the academic standards committee at the February meeting of the faculty at which time it was passed. The new policy was developed as an early warning system so that students will be encouraged t-0 maintain satisfactory averages and avoid dismissal from the college. Grades for courses take& in the semester, the semester average, and the cumulative average of work taken at Wilkes College to date are issued to the student at the end ·of each semester. These reports are used _to indicate a student's progress toward the degree, i.e. graduation. In order to identify students having academic difficulty as early as possible in their academic career, the Faculty has adopted the following regulations. These regulations are designed to return the student to normal progress toward the degree as quickly as possible. · Freshmen, defined as students who have attempted fewer than twenty-four credits, must main- Pew Grant Received; Two Uses Scheduled by Louis Czachor The college has received a $102,000 grant from the Pew Memorial Trust to be used for renovations to the Stark Learning Center and the establishment of an audio-visual resources center. The college received the grant last October and it was originally earmarked for renovations to Stark and refurbishment of the Conyngham Carriage House located behind the Conyngham Student Center. The renovations to the · Stark Learning Center have already been completed_and consisted mainly in repairs needed in moving the Philosophy and Education departments there. The Conyngham Carriage House is another story. The Pew Inside, Brown Publishes Book p.3 ·Welcome Home Bruce! pp. 6, 7 Celebration Memories Foundation had given a major grant to the college a few years ago to refurbish the Student Center. Since the Carriage House is also part of the Conyngham Estate it was thought that it would be a nice idea to refurbish it too. However, after receipt of the grant, a structural engineer determined that the building would need more work than was at first anticipated. This would also mean a greater expense than had been anticipated. Dr. Thomas Kelly, dean of external affairs, explained that the college then went back to the Pew Foundation and they were grateful that the college did so. The foundation then decided to redesignate the fuIJds to the establishment of an audio-visual resource center to be located in the library, In establishing the audio-visual center/$72,000 will be used to purchase such things as audio-visual equipment, sets of slides, films, and filmstrips to be used by the various departments. A committee of the faculty dealing with audiovisual concerns will make recommendations to President Robert S. Capin and Academic Dean Gerald Hartdagen. The audio-visual center should be established later this semester or during the summer so that it will be operating by next fall. tain a minimum 1.70 in both their major and cumulative grade point averages .. All other students must maintain a minimum 2.00 in both their major and cumulative grade point averages. Any student' whose average falls below the minimum required will automatically be placed on academic probation. Students placed on academic pro bation may be restricted to a twelve hour load each semester they are on probation. All waivers of this restriction will require approval of an appeal presented by the student to the Academic Standards Committee. The Academic Standards Committee may impose additional restrictions and requirements in individual cases when it determines such restrictions and requirements are in the best interests of the student and the College. Students who have been placed on academic probation for a period of one calendar year will automatically be declared academically ineligible to enroll in any course at Wilkes College until · he or she has been approved for readmission to the College by the Academic Standards Committee. Petitions fore readmission will not normally be considered until one calendar year after the student has been delcared academically ineligible. Students readmitted will be placed on academic probation. Students declared academically ineligible may appeal to the Academic Standards Committee to have this action reversed. Such appeals will normally be heard only where the student has shown significant progress toward the achievement of a 2.00 average.

Maybe if we tapped this "spring" we would be able to alleviate the water shortage. · _Trustees Approve Dorm; Opening Set For 1982 At the meeting of the administrative council on Monday it was announced that the Board of Trustees of the college has given approval to demolision of Shawnee, Susquehannock, and Butler Halls, and to construct a new residence hall_ at the site of these buildings. The firm of Pyros and Sanderson will complete drawings and plans for the new residence hall. The college is planning to undertake a fund raising campaign with a goal of $2 million to help fund the cost of construction of the new residence hall. The proposed schedule for construction is as follows: February Small School' Convention Cancelled Joe Galli had ·stated that if fewer than 20 schools planned to attertd the convention would be cancelled.

Rooney statechhat the members of the subcommittee of SG's social committee which is sponsoring the weekend are considering the possibility of a gym party on Friday, March 20. The party would feature a country-western theme, and activities would include a square dance and a mechanical bull, if arrangements can be made. The alternative to the party in the gym would be a party in the Student Center. Those attending the student center party would be asked to come ckessed as something all-American. A picnic is planned for Saturday, March 21. Hamburgers and hotdo~ would be served in addition to other picnic foods. Games would be featured as part of the picnic. A talent show is being planned for that Saturday night. The talent show would be featured by the SG social committee subcommittee and M.E.N.C. The subcommittee is also looking into the possibility of having a I fireworks display on the night on Sunday, March 22. Rooney also announced .that the trfp to Atlantic City which ' had been schedulec:l for this past Sunday had been cancelled. He noted that it will- be re-scheduled, and those who paid for the cancelled trip can pick up their refunds in the SC office. SG President Joe Galli announced that the student life committee has recommended that the lobby area of Stark be converted into a lounge where smoking and eating will be permitted. It was also suggested that the furniture now in Stark Lobby be removed and replaced with furniture more appropriate for such a lounge. Also, ash trays and trach receptacles should be placed in that area. Galli requested the representatives to give their opinions on these suggestions. SG Vice President Marla Brodsky stated that she thought it was a good idea because right now people throw cigarette butts and papers all over the floor. Bill Miller, Commuter Council President, pointed out that one of the things in the proposal is to have a student work in the lounge to keep people from throwing cigarette butts and garbage on the floor. · Tom Farley rlJ~ a question as t~ whether using the •n:a .for a, tounge would cause interferenee with climes being eondueted in Sl:.CHH. Dana Shaffer echoed: Farley's concern and stated that before any final decision is made the possibility of disturbing classes in SLC 101 should be looli:ed into. IR H c by John Finn The Commuter Council will conduct an open-house in their new office next Thursday, Feb. 26 during the activity period. C.C. president Bill Miller said the purpose of the open-house is to acquaint people with the new office location (second floor of the student center). Social committee chairman Joe Bubbico reported that last Fridays St. Valentines Day Party was successful. The next joint C.C.1.R.H.C. venture will be a St. Patrick's Day party on Saturday, March 14. This party will be at the new Sheraton Crossgates on the square. The special Events committee will sponsor a skating party on March 19, 10:30-12:30 p .m. This is the Tuesday following the Spring break. The Food Service committee heard reports from council members of specials running out at the student center snack-bar. Also, councilman Joe Know gave his recipe and cost analysis of a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, and concluded that even though the student center's BLTs are the cheapest in the valley, they are still too expensive. IRHC representative Janine Tucker said she was very pleased with the Valentine party and is looking forward to the St. Pat's party. Tucker also announced that a "Rape Awareness Seminar" will be held following the Spring break. No definite date was given, but the seminar will be limited to 15 people. Any interested individual should contact the Housing Office for further information. COPUS members will be travel• ing to Harrisburg on A March 3 for a statewide organizational meeting ----Academic Standards Discussed by Donna Nitka The main topic of discussion at Sunday's IRHC meeting was the student proposal to set admission standards for Wilkes. The proposal was passed by Student Government on February 9 but, as of this writing, has yet to be presented to Admissions. Under the pr posal, a student under consideration for admission would have to meet the following requirements: 1) The student must have received a minimum combined score of 850 on the Scholastic Aptitude Test. 2) The student must have attained an overall academic average of at least 75 or 2.5.

Cona,ention Continued from page 1 Galli .stated that efforts had been ·made to attract the schools, but the numerous letters and phone calls failed. He noted that it is a bad time of year for many of the schools because they are involved in elections and other activities. Galli suggested that SG should try to sponsor a convention at some later date because he felt that it was an idea that can be very beneficial to the college and the students. 3) The student must have graduated in the top 40 % or upper 2/5 of his class. Letters of recommendation and participation in extra-curricular activities would be considered for students who were borderline. Students who were admitted conditionally would be assigned a special advisor. The advisor would work closely with the student, helping him adjust to a college curriculum. Students under the Act 101 program would also be admitted. It must be stressed that this is just a proposal. The proposal was, designed so incoming students would have little trouble adjusting to college life. The Commuter Council office is now located on the second floor in the Student Center. Hours are from 11 to 2 daily. Due to the increasing number of parking violations, parking rules will be strictly enforced. If a car is not parked in the correct lot, or if it is blocking other cars, it will be towed at the owner's expense.

Professor Publishes Study of Family Life by Louis Czachor Assistant Professor of Sociology and Anthropology Bruce W. Brown has recently completed three years of work on a book intended as a historcial and life cycle analysis of cultural values concerning family life in America over the last 60 years. The book, entitled "Images of Family Life in Magazine Advertising: 1920-1978," is an empirical study designed to answer some questions about cultural values in the past as expressed in family life: . Brown explained that the topic of family life has become very popular in the last ten years, and it has been discovered that our ideas about family life in the past have not always been correct. He stated that he wrote the book "to provide empirical evidence, to support or refute popular ideas about family life in the pa t, and also to go beyond the existing literature in this area ." The book is in production now and it will be released in early fall 1981 . It is being published by Praeger Publishing in New York City. Brown credited his wife Anna as an invaluable research assistant. Also, his wife is the co-author of the second chapter of the book. About his book Brown stated, "some family life values analyzed in the advertisements were such things as family roles, family companionship and family intimacy." Brown explained, "Overall, the movement toward egalitarian family norms has been fairly substantial since 1920, particularly in terms of family companionship and intimacy. The area of family roles still appears to be a major stumbling block. To summarize the findings of this study in one sentence: One could say that the cultural values reflected in magazine advertising increasingly have supported the notion of family members as more compassionate and intimate, although they continue to perform their traditional roles almost unchanged ." Musical Celebration Billed for We•e kend "Celebration", the unique and innovative musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, will be performed at the CPA this weeitmd by Wilkes students. High school night is Thursday, February 19 at 7:30 p.m., and other show dates are Fr iday and Saturday, February 20 and 21 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, February 22 at 2 p.m. Jones and Schmidt also coauthored the world's longest running musical, "The Fantasticks" They created " Celebration" through musical and verbal improvisations at their Manhattan Portfolio Workshop in 1968 and 1969. The play opened at the Portfolio in 1969 and then moved to Broadway a few months later. It h as sin ce b een performed throughout the world , and "Celebration" has become extremely popular with young peo- ple wherever it has played. Set in a contemporary city on New Year's Eve, "Celebration" portrays in song and dance the struggle between an idealistic youth and a cynical old man for the affections of an angelic girl. Using primitive masks and ritualistic movement, "Celebration" recaptures the thrills of ancient theatre through a mixture of old and new. The music includes sweet ballads, rousing chorus numbers, soft-shoe and rock-androll. Jones and Schmidt have attempted to add a new dimension to the musical theatre in Celebration by creating music and lyrics of genuine energy and warmth . General Admission is $3.50, but Wilkes Staff, Administration and Students will be admitted free of charge.

Advertising is a good tool to the family historian because it "is something the past has left behind for us that we can use," stated Brown. Brown added that his book will contain some of the ads that he has analyzed. In the past, Brown has written_ articles which have appeared in "The Family Coordinator," "The Journal of Comparative Family Studies," and "The Social Causes of Husband-Wife Violence". He also co-authored a book with M. A. Straus. It is titled "Family Measurement Techniques" and was printed by the University of Minnesota Press in 1978. Actditionally, Brown edited a book called " Readings and Famil y Sociology" (Ginn, 1980). Brown noted that he has been asked to speak at the annual meeting of the Eastern Sociological Society about some of the findings from his study.

Eaitoriolly Spczol~ing LETTERS Winter Week end Deemed A To the Editor: The pages of the Beacon were not intended to provide an avenue for those who wish to make attacks on individual personalities. However, last week and today we have seen such a display of this exact abuse. , Last week, the Beacon ran a special Valentine's Day issue, allowing each member of the college community to send a "personal" greeting to his or her sweetie. However, after compiling many of the messages, our editorial staff noted that several of them were not, in fact intended for sweeties, but personal attacks .o n individual personalities and quite blatant attacks at that. While the editorial staff removed the greetings that were obviously abusive, we know that probably twice as many slipped through. Needless to say, this was not the intention of the "Tender Loving Classifieds." If the editorial staff of the Beacon has to edit the content of a classified submitted by a student, one can only wonder about the level of maturity present in those students - especially students that would submit such nasty messages, knowing full well that the publisher (in this case the college and administration) would bear the responsibility if the object of the message were to sue for libel -0r slander. While the Beacon always welcomes input from students, the Beacon do not wish to become a method for personal vendettas or revenge. This is not the Beacon's purpose, and anyone familiar with any kind for journalistic ethics should be aware of this. To those students who submitted honest, mature and proper messages, the Beacon can only say THANK YOU, for you enabled us to publish what we think to be one of the best issues ever - and to the best of our knowledge the first 20 page issue of the Beacon in the history of the college. We are sorry that you must be subjected to this type of editorial. However, as we all know, it only takes a few to ruin it for everyone. This week again, students have seized the opportunity to attack individuals via the editorial page. In the future, editorial discretion will be utilized in printing all letters. Those deemed by the editorial staff to be attacks on personalities or individuals will not be printed, regardless if they are signed or not. The Beacon is not an avenue for venting personal grievances, and the editorial staff hopes that the college community become aware of this and utilize the avenues of input for the ends that they were intended. It's old news to say that February 6-8 w as W i nter Weekend. As the Winter Weekend Committee, we know only too well how much time and effort is required to sponsor an all-College weekend. Now that the planning, · errands, and innumerable little tasks have been completed we can look back with satisfaction. The general opinion is that Winter Weekend was quite successful and opinion that we wholeheartedly share! To begin, we would like to thank all of the students who participated in the activities - the weekend was for you, and we certainly hope that you enjoyed it. We thank you for your enthusiasm, good sportsmanship, and for your patience while the inevitable little adjustments were made. Everyone knows that the Beach Party was a huge smash. Big thanks go to the gentlemen of Butler and Roosevelt Houses, and the women of the Third and Fifth floors of Miner Hall - without these people and the fine work that they did, the party could never have been pulled off.

Readers Express Concern To The Editor: I would lilce to comment on the recent · Tri-Organizational meeting. On the whole I think both students and administration felt it was a success. However, there was one thing that I thought was very poor and I know other students observed it also. What I am referring to is the attitude that Dean Hartegen disp,layed throughout the meeting. Beside having a bored expression and practically falling asleep a few times, he also smoked his pipe and later chewed tobacco and threw it on the rug. It was especially offensive at this time, although it would have been at any time, as we were discussing college philosophy and have examined reaffirming values since the beginning of the school year. I have heard time and again that this reaffirmation of values can start with very small problems such as walking on the grass, littering, and generally showing lack of respect for Wilkes College. How can such things be taken seriously when a Dean would sit in front of almost fifty student leaders and spit tobacco in his hand and throw it on the rug under his chair? If Wilkes' values are to be reaffirmed, it must be done by all sectors, students, faculty and administration. If the administrators of this institution do not respect the values of this institution, or even exhibit common decency, how can the students be expected to do so? Sincerely, Two Who Care PS: Who cares? WE D01111 EDITOR'S NOTE: The spelling of the name of the administrator in question is Dean Hartdagen and not Dean Hanegen.

Administrators and students clarified and explained many issues which are of concern. Many students made constructive suggestions and comments. They were wrongfully omitted from Feb. 13th's Beacon article, "Administrators and Students Air Mutual Concerns at Meeting". Quotation marks should indicate an actual statement made. The one student comment included was quoted wrong. Contrary to the author's interpretation, I wish to clarify my statement. The reson being partly f~r defense and partly to inform the students of the harm of subjective reporting. In July· of '80, I attended a national con- EDITOR'S NOTE: -The author of this letter is correct, many students made comments, raised questions and vocaUzed suggestions at the recent Tri-Organizational meeting. However, the question u to why only one student quote wu includ- ed in the article is one of editorial decision on the part of the author of the article, something every journalist whether on the Beacon staff or New York Times staff must deal with. This editorial decision involved in writing the article is that which involves including that ·information which the author of the article deems necessary for the fairest story poaible. One may ask the reason only one student quote was included in the story. After reviewing the notes taken at the meeting, it was decided that this particular student was the only one who had any thing any relevance to say, and therefore should be made public. The statement by Marla Brodsky in the Beacon reads as such, "We can't expect everything to be our decision. Something are decided by the administration. We should be thankful that the ad. ministration is willing to sit down and talk with us lilce this. Most school wouldn't be this lucky." From reading the quotation, one can immediately see that Marla Brodsky is·familiar with the operations of other institutions and comparably speaking, Wilkes' student/administrator relationships are better, simply by the fact administrators take the time to meet with students. This quote can be said to reflect very positively on Marla Brodsky for having the wisdom to point this out, and upon Wilkes administrators for their time and energy. Keep in mind, many of the things said at the meeting were not positive. In her letter, Marla Brosky does not offer what she feels is the exact quotation. Moreover, the interpretation placed upon the quotation is that created in the mind of the reader and not presented on the printed page. In answer to her other points, the Beacon is not trying to create controversy, rather, if controversy exists, as a newspaper, the Beacon , ference, where representatives on?

A total of three planes carried the German family from Maryland to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Airport. German's daughter Debbie was on the first plane, Mr. and Mrs. Lodeski were on the second and the remainder of the German family were on the third. ,German was greeted by a receiving line of -local and state dignitaries such as former congressman Dan Flood; Congressman James Nelligan; Representatives Kevin Blaum, Fred Schupnick and George Hasay; childhood friend Tom Feeney and Rev. George Pawlush who gave the invocation. One of German's first co1'nments was, "It's good to be back in my hometown with those that I love." He went on to say that as a boy growing up in Larksville, he often wondered what life had in store for him. He also said he never could have imagined a welcome home ceremony such as this one in his honor. German commented that "this homecoming means more to me than all the others combined," meaning the ones in Responding to a question about the Vietnam veterans, German stated "We are not heroes. We just h;ppened -to be in the wrong place at the· wrong time." He further commented that the veterans deserve all the ceremony, pomp and rew1,1rds that are due them. "If my colleagues and I have contributed to any of this unity within the country, this patriotili~, I'm just happy about that." After the press conference, a. motocade carrying the_ German family proceeded to Wilkes-Barre public - square where Mayor Thomas McLaughlin presented German with the key to the city of Wilkes-Barre. German was also given a copy of a resolution passed by City Council and given to all the former hostages, $tating that they were all made honorary citizens of Wilkes-Barre. German then thanked the residents of Wilkes-B,me for their support during his cl!ptivity, and especially those who "sent cards, letters and cookies. Unfortunately, I never got any cookies." · Stating again that "we are not heroes, . merely freed Americ,ins," German commented that all 52 of the former hostages witnessed a "tremendous resurgence of Mrs. Theresa Lodeski, Bruce German's mother, to home .. B~ce German receives an official welcome and the key to the city of Wilkes-Barre from Mayor Thomas McLaughlin on Public Square. Citizens of Wilkes-Barre welcome Mr. and Mrs. German to Pqblic Square. New York City and Washington, D.C. "As the John Denver song says, it's good to be back home." A short press conference was then held, and German said that his immediate plans were- to get back with his family, relax and then go back to work. He also commented that some of the prices have come as quite a shock to him . "When I left, the price of gas was $.80 a gallon and it has almost doubled now." In answer to a question about his health, German responded, "I am well. I got a clean bill of health mentally and physically." He went on to comment that he tried to maintain his poise and his health by keeping busy writing letters and reading the Bible, which he said was very important to him. "My faith in God is important. He sustained me." patriotism and unity. " He said, "We are extremely proud to be a part of that. If our captivity was somehow a catalyst and brought the people of the United States together in any small way, then it was not in vain. I believe with all my heart that you and I live in the greatest country in the world, and we should all be proud to be Americans. " From the square, the motorcade proceeded to the Columbia Hose House in Edwardsville for ceremonies there. After these ceremonies, relatives and friends gathered at the Lodeski house for a reception, where German had the opportunity to speak with people he had not seen for some time. Bruce German attended Wilkes for one year. He had just returned from the service (Navy), and he and his friends enrolled as veterans under the GI Bill. When asked if he liked Wilkes during the time he spent here, he responded, "Yes, we enjoyed it. " German noticed some po_sitive changes that had taken place in Wilkes-Barre, such ~ various improvements in some buildings and their locations. "Things look better, more improved. Progress has been made." German's _ personal reaction when the embassy was first taken was, "bewilderment at first, because we weren't prepared at all for it. " He said that there were demonstrations to be held that day, possibly as a sit-in to protest. "But to takeover an entire embassy, no, we weren't at all prepared for that." When asked if he thought · the hostage situation would affect college-age students_' attitudes negatively towards foreign countries in the future, German said, "I would hope not. This was a unique situation - we were dealing with religious fanatics and there aren't .that many in the world. I don't think we'll have any problems with other countries. " German felt that this situation was unique because they were dealing with peopl e who "disregard all diplomatic laws. They don't know what the word diplomat means. " He feels that, on a whole, most countries in the world abide by these laws. "I don't expect it to ever happen again because I don't think anyone will take that chance." Commenting on Iranian students in the United States, German said that he understood there were Iranian students in the U.S. on visas for educational purposes that supplied their captors with information on what was happening here. The captors dangled such information in front of them, saying that the country was falling apart and the American people did not support President Carter_. "These type of people should be deported immediately, if we can ever find out why they were. I understand there are a good number of Iranian students that are interested in getting an education, and they're not in so much support of Kho- _ meini and his crowd. Those I have no problem with." German felt -that former president Carter was not given enough credit for what he did, and did what he could based on the advice he got. "The advice may not have been always good . The thing I do disagree with is letting the Shah into the country in the first place. That, I think, was the major mistake and as it turned out, we were told by the militants, was the straw that broke the camel's back. There were a series of events · leading up to that. They were tolerable up to that point. When that man entered the country, that was it. We became fair game." Although a foreign service officer does get an "anti-terrorist" type program - a few days of lee- Beacon reporter Lisa Gurka is shown with Bruce German during the interview. �• Bruce Ger man Returns To Home Town .. Hey, it's good to be back home again! Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Germa~ are shown relaxing with friends and relatives at the home of h!S mother, Mrs. Theresa Lodeski. From theotherside •••••••••••••••• Many series ha'ie been born out of movies, and once on the tube few have survived the weekly rating's race. The series '' MASH '' has not only survived the transformation to television, but also the replacement of four main characters. The series, which premiered in September 1972, has already lasted twice as long as the Korean war, which is its setting . Over the years the tone of the program has matured from a comedy into a show that is both drama and comedy. · The fear of becoming another " Hogan's Heroes " was the main reason behind the killing of Lt. Col. Henry Blake. It was not enough to allow the man to return home after the war, and he was sacrificed for the good of-all . Then the departure of Wayne Rogers created another gap to be filled . At this point the mood of the series shifted , as it lost the '' Animal House ' ' aura . The strength of the cast and the writers helped keep the series go_ing after a difficult start with two new actors , Harry Morgan and Mike Farrell. People who used to laugh at " MASH " now were asked to cry at times, or endure the frustration of a doctor who has lost a patient. W ith the backing of loyal viewers, " MASH" was elevated to a new level of quality programming. Now the series is an innovator of new ideas, and plays on other human emotions besides humor. The talent of the cast is endless, and much has been said about each member. There is one person on the program who has gone through it all with little attention being paid him , and yet he has created a most believable fharacter. Allan Arbus was first introduced to " MASH " viewers at an all-night poker game . From there the good doctor has found it necessary to visit on a regular basis, and even write a letter to Sigmund Freud . You may know him better as Capt. Sidney Freedman. Arbus treats the part with a great sensitivity, and must be the idol of many aspiring phychologists. The best never get fired they just retire , and "MASH" will soon retire from national television. Hawkeye is starting to show a lot of gray, and Klinger has even stopped wearing a dress . There has been a lot of talk about how many seasons the show has left, and I believe not too many . It will be a sorry day when such a high standard setter disappears, but the show has a lot to be proud of. After all , they have created the best program in the history of television. · ture in a seminar type format German felt that "nothing could ever prepare you for what we encountered - a mob of several hundred thousand religious fanatics." When asked if he thought there should be a special training pro.gram instituted by the U·.S. in case something like this happens again, German replied, "I think so, and also additional security measures at every embassy in the world." German does not feel there was a lack of security at the embassy because "when you're dealing with such a mob, nothing short of a division of troops br a tank corps · could prevent it." · The hostages did not know too much in advance that they were leaving for home. The captors did, however, fell them that day that they were going to the airport and going home. "But they made so many false promises that we wanted to be in the air before we believed them." · When German finally left Iran, he "couldn't believe it because we had so many up~ and downs. When it actually happened, we weren't quite sure, ev n when we took off, if it was a ploy. When we realized it was the Algerians who had us, we knew we were home free." · When asked how it felt to be back in his "old home town, " German reponded, "The over-used word is overwhelming, and that's just what it is. It's something none of us could have comprehended back there when we were captives. The support and reception we've · received is more than you can comprehend." · As for his future, German had this to say, "I intend to continue with the state department . I intend to be a foreign service officer. I may or may not go over seas again. It depends. Alot has to happen, alot of improvements have to take place before I go over again. I see no reason why any student at Wilkes, or any other college, would object to going into the foreign service, and make a career of it.

Conserve Water The Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council suggests eight methods which will help you conserve water during this time of shortage: 1. Take a three minute shower. This saves four to six gallons of water. It also saves time , giving you an extra minute or two to enjoy your morning coffee. 2. Shave or wash your face using a half-full basin. This saves three gallons. 3. Brush teeth and rinse using one glass of water instead of letting the tap run . This also saves three gallons. 4. Keep a container of water in your dorm fridge instead of letting the tap run until it gets cold. This saves about one gallon, and is more convenient. 5. If you wear hard contact lenses, don ' t rinse them under the tap, use a half-filled basin of water. This cuts· down on your chance of losing them down the drain. 6. Wash only full loads of I . • clothes. 7. Do not flush the toilet afte1 every use, if possible. 8. When drawing water for making tea or coffee, draw only the amount you need. You can alway: make more if you want it. More information about conserv• ing water may be obtained by contacting the Northeastern Pennsylvania Environmental Council al 49 South Main Street, Pittston , Pa. 18640. With a little thought, conserva• tion of water can become very easy. �Page 8, The Beacon, February 20, 1981 Old Man Winter Predicted toStrike Again by Mark James If you think Old Man Winter is going to be nice and pleasant for the of the year, don't hold your breath. Once again that wiley old knave is up to his same old tricks. Remember, it is still February, the month of harsh winds, freezing rain, incessant snowing, and letdowns. After a week of sunshine and warm temperatures, many people may be feeling those strange and inexplainable pangs of spring fever. The strong apprehension about attending class, the weird desire to take a walk in the sun or even rain instead of partaking in those (ahem) always intriguing reading amgnments, the little activities that alw.ays seem to creep out of the limelight and into one's thoughts will be the main obstacle in reminding students that the semester is still in progres.,. Some students may even have the ghastly desire to blow-off climes and spend the day refreshing tlleir pallats with large quantities of alcoholic consumables. But don't be fooled, if it isn't too late . . While you were t°"5ing a frisbee, riding through the mountains, watching the river, or sleeping the hours away in bliss, the spirit of winter has been plotting and chuckling like crazy. When will he strike next? Nobody knows for sure. An obvious fact · is that nice as the weather has been, spring is not here yet. If youa re one of those rest people who begins hailing the return of spring as soon as resonably, and unreasonably, possible, look out! Just when you think winter has ended, giving you a newfound yearning toward laziness, the worst will occur. A few weeks of sobering subzero temperatures and a few more feet of snow will create what this writer likes to call an academic hangover. My prediction for the next several weeks calls for lousy weather. During the Spring Break the weather will stink wherever Wilkes people are to be found; unless, of course, they spend their break (must be nice) in Florida. So much for predictions. Heed this warning: STUDENTS BEWARE! Think of the mild temperatures as a sort of halftime in the winter season. The second half is about to get underway. Don't start your spring break two weeks early because if you do, there will be no time to enjoy the real spring. It is becoming clear now .. . The beautiful weather is a test of nature. Those students who use their time in a positive manner, studying and getting prepared for midterm examinations, will be able to enjoy the better weather later this semester. For the students (I find myself among them) who have a tendency to acquire the early symptoms of spring fever in the first sunny days of February, well, things get tough later. How a student gets through this brief week of nice weather and good times will determine whether or not he or she will pass this test of nature. The truth of the matter is this: it is all a plot between Mr. Coffeehouse -------------- C.

Winter and someone in the Wilkes Administration, possibly President Capin.

It should be noted that the colonels have not lost more than two bouts in any of their last three matches. This shows the maturity and intensity which has developed in the young team throughout the year. On Wednesday evening the Colonels hosted the Bisons of Bucknell University in the last home wrestling meet of the 1980-81 season. Bucknell has a strong wrestling program, and might very well win the East Coast Conference wrestling championships to be held later this_ month. However, our Col- WANTED - Computer pro• grammer to program newly purchased coach for fall and winter sports. Applicant needs to have four years of e%perience in athletic competition. For more information, contact the athletic department at ext. 3711. Can you imagine the day when coaches are no longer required to lead · our athletic teams into battle. A day when our prime athletes are under the supervision of mechanical thinking ma~hines instead of emotional people. A day when Colonel basketball players yell out to coach Robot instead of coach Righter. Although this kind of event ,eems absurd, it may just be what sports will be like a century from now. With the way science is touching all forms of man's existence, why should it not take hold of man's favorite pasttime. Just think of the consequences of robot coaches. On the pro side of robot generals, one of the biggest assets would be the money saved by the institution. The school which makes the initial pur- · chase of a robot sports authority would certainly save in yearly salaries after a few years of ownership. With standard changeable data banks, one robot would be able to coach all of the sports on campus if desired, provided that events are not scheduled at the same time. Another thing in the favor of the institution would be the orderliness of the coach during the game. No more technical fouls or penalties on the coach for voicing bis or her opinion too loudly to the referee. Also, the media would no longer have to worry about placing the blame of a ba~ game on the coach, for a robot coach would follow bis or her game plan toa tee. The players would probably like a robot coach as well because they would be able to express their displeasure with a command through physical means. Although these new coaches would be able to detect verbal complaints, physical punishment would be of no interest to the robot as long as bis or her data banks are not damaged. Picture how much fun a football or basketball player would have bouncing a ball off the coach's bead each time disargeement occurs. How about a pitcher lining a fastball at the coach when a smart comment is made by the robot about the pitcher's performance at practice. Just think of the satisfaction an athlete would achieve by venting bis agressions on the coach by means of physical abuse. If you get mad at the coach, pop him or her right in the head with the ball or stick or your fist for that matter. Oh boy, would practice be fun! The fans would also get a big kick out of robot coaches about as much as the players would. Popcorn, soda, programs, all of the necessary launching material in a disgrunted fan's arsenal would be received by the coach with no returned shots. It would probably be a lot of fun just to watch this stuffed piece of metal in an aluminum Wilkes' sweater racing up and down in front of his or her team, bleeping out instructions. Even though there seem to be numerous benefits of a robot coach, there are a lot of bad aspects as well. Can you honestly imagine a Colonels-Royals basketball clash without Ron Righter leaping up and yelling at the referee. Or bow about coach Reese slamming a towel to the floor in disgust over a particular call or bout. These kind of emotional expre.uions are classics. All through this column I mentioned a robot coach in both a male and female version. I did this because our female coaches on campus have their own little personal ways of coaching. A women's volleyball game would not be the same without coach Saracino giving a pep talk to the girls and "Miss Piggy". Or a women's basketball would just not be the same if coach Roberts could not yell at the official time-keeper for making a call in favor of the visiting team. Yes the lady coaches add their own special touch to the various contests. Setting aside all of the joking, human coaches can never be replaced by robots. Altough it may be physically possible, emotionally speaking, humans can never be equalled. I hope this column does not offend any of our coaches on campus for it is my odd way of expressing our need for every one of them. Besides bringing to each game a vast amount of athletic knowledge about their particular sport, each individual coach brings his or her own personality with them as well. I think we should be proud of the coaches we have on campus for they exemplify what an all around coach is all about. The coaches we have are truly leaders both on and off the field. Besides, what would we do if it ever rained on our robot coach? llobotCoaclaes? No Wayt ... , .......... ,, .. ,,,, onels proved to be too strong as they defeated Bucknell 32-6. The 177 pound bout was probably the most exciting Bout of the evening as freshman Mark Correll turned an 8-3 deficit early in the third period completely around as he won a hard fought decision 10-9 over Steve Greenly , AAccording to coach Reese, Greenly is .a very fine wrestler and he was very pleased with Correll's determination as he came from behind to earn the decision. On Saturday Evening the Colonels traveled to Williamsport to take on the Warriors of Lycoming College. By meets end the Warriors wrestling coaches and fans probably wished the Colonels stayed home as they were soundly defeated 45-0. Wilkes gained 2 pins, 3 superior decisions and 4 major decisions enroute to winning their third straight. Picking up pins for the Colonels were Doug Billig, and Jim Johnson. Billig Pinned Lycomings Mike Mason in 6:02, and Johnson pinned Mark Morgan in 6:57. The Colonels ·will end their regular season tomorrow when they take on Franklin and Marshall- College in Lancaster. Following tomorrows meet the Colonels will begin preparations for next weekends EIWA wrestling tournament to be held on the campus of Princeton University.

At p~ time, two bfg- MAC victories over Scranton University and F.D.U. Madison have given the Colonels a 7-5 MAC record, good enough for second place behind the divisionleading Royals of Scranton. The Colonels picked up the biggest win of the week· against the Royals at the Scranton John Long Center by defeating the defending MAC Northeastern champions by a score of 62-57. A jam packed crowd consisting of basically Royal faithful saw their home town team dominated in all areas of play by the fired up Blue and Gold. . High scorer for the Colonels on the night was junior forward Tony "Fudd" Madden who connected on six of his 15 shots from the floor and six of his seven free throws for a game total of 18 points. Behind Madden in the scoringc!epartment for the Wilkes' cagers were Kevin "J.J." Walker and senior captain Mike McCarrie with 16 and 15 points respectively. The Colonels played outstanding defense througliout the entire game but especially excelled in the finat 10;00 minutes of the contest, . holding the Royals scoreless from the 7:47 mark until the final minute of play when the Scranton team hit a meaing)ess field goal with :50on the clock. Defensive standouts for the Colonels included guard Pat McCue and Ros Zanghi who both combined to- shutout sharpshooter Tom Mineo for the Royals. Although Mineo finished the night with only seven points, he managed to join the very special 1,000 point club earlier in the ~eek against King'.s College. The win 0-ver the Royals was undoubtedly the biggest win of the year for it put added preassure on King's to win their key MAC games. The win also enabled the Colonels to determine their own future for once, instead of determining their fate on the performance of other teams. Trailing the Royals at halftime by a score of 30-28, the Blue and Gold came out in the second half to dominate the boards and the Jafion EVERY THURSDAY AT THE STATION: "OPEN MIKE NITE'' Air bands, fake rock groups, musicians, singers, dancers, stand-up routines, skits and other forms of talent.

'l'he other big_ victory of the week came on Valentine·s Day at an empty South Franklin Sbeet Gym when the fired up Blue and Gold defeated a spunky -,.D.U. Madison team by a score of 58-51. Lead in the scoring department by senior Mike McCarrie who was two for four from the free throw line and hit five field goals for a total of 12 points, the Colonels had some trouble with the Devils. A hot shooting Dan Leibman gave the pressing defense of the Colonels some trouble by hitting from the outside and scoring 15 of his game leading 19 points in the first half. Leibman's outside shooting and some key Colonel miscues gave the Blue and Gold a slim 34-31 advantage at halftime. In the second half of play, the Colonels got some necessary outside and inside shooting help from Pat McCue and Pat Romish to put the lid on the game for the Wilkes' five. McCue and Romish combined for 20 points in the game and provided the needed .play op . defense to stop a determinedF .D. U. team. Bob Antonelli came off the bench for Ron Righter and- hit some key outside shots to help break a stiff Devil- defense. The visitors managed to shut down the Colonels inside game until Mc-CarrieF McCue, -and- Antonelli began to hit some long-shots, The Colonels inside game showed to be lacking as Kevin •1.J." Walker and Tony Madden both had only sevenpoints apiece in the contest. The win over F.D.U. Madison not only has given the Colonels a 7-5 MAC · record but also a 12-9 overall season record. With one MAC contest remaining ijuniata), the Colonels could finish the season with a MAC record of 8-5 (at best) or 7-6 (wont). With the MAC playoffs a week away, we will keep an eye on the Colonels and Monarchs to determine that second playoff position in the Northeastern Division.

By virture of the strong finish to his impressive season, this sophomore from Holland, Pa. has been selected as this week's Beacon Athlete of the Week. In earlier years, Reed had become weary of the lukewarm routine in high school diving after just one year of competition; it seems he felt he had reached his potential. After coming to Wilkes, the situation changed. As a freshman, he began to develop his talent. "Last year my - dives were coming around. It gave me incentive to shoot for better dives," Reed said. With his desire to dive rekindled, Reed began to develop enough skill to do extremely well. He lost only twice last year while on his way to a third · place finish in the MAC championship. This year, Reed's undefeated record had been a valuable~ to the team. "It's nice to go into a meet knowing you're going to get a 10 or 15 point cushion from him," swim team coacli Bob Greenwald mentioned. "The past couple weeks Reed has been doing very well . . . I haven't seen him dive better," Greenwald added. Against King's, Reed had been diving with a strained back, but it didn't hamper his style. His dives · have a high degree of difficulty. More points are given for the higher dives, but the extra twists and rotations necessary make each point quite a task to earn . Nevertheless, Reed has been having a relatively easy year, with Dave Smith of Susquehanna giving him the greatest (but in vain) challenge. ·Reed Bello Reed attributes much of his success to his diving coach: "I have to give Bob Lewis a lot of credit. He helped me a lot." Taking the past two seasons into consideration, it appears that Lewis' coaching has had a strong effect, with equally gratifying results. The young diving coach said, "I enjoy working with Reed. He is one of the finest divers that Wilkes College has ever had." It is only a matter of time before Reed will -have the opportunity to plunge into the MAC championship for 1981, and the possibilities look promising. Said Bob Lewis, "I hope him the best in the MAC's. He has the potential." The Beacon staff would like to congratulate Reed Bello for his outstanding performance last week and throughout the season; and good luck in the Upcoming MAC championship. You have nothing to lose, but much to 'gain.'

Slowly, and probably unsurely . at times, the idea of female athletic competition began to grow. There was a time when the results of a girl's volleyball game, for example, would be placed in the social section of a newspaper. That is, 'of course, if such r~ults were printed at all. But sports are sports; now such coverage is no longer found on the 'ladies' page next to assorted recipes and gossip columns .. Women's sports is growing; and it is doubtful that the trend will change. Too many people care. One such person is Doris Saracino, the Women's Athletic Director here at Wilkes. For the longest time she has been a busy woman, doing her utmost to keep strong the trend toward a growing women's sports. Back in the early seventies, she was ori a MAC steering committee that was concerned with the formation of a college sports conference for both men and women. Today, the MAC is one of the few such conferences established for both sexes. This was just a start. In January of 1980, Ms. Saracino went to the NCAA national convention where several important resolutions were passed. In this historic event, the NCAA formally recognized women's sports. In divisions II and III, athletes in five women's sports (field hockey, tennis, swimming, basketball, and volleyball) were given the opportunity to strive for a national championship. Last fall, committees were or~anized to implement the OOrls Sar adn O necessary procedures to make such championships a success. Four people were chosen for each committee from all regions of the country. In Division III Volleyball, Coach Saracino was selected as one such committee member. In early Dec em her, the volleyball committee, among others, met at the NCAA national headquarters in Mission, Kansas. There, the organization began to take place for each respective sport. In volleyball, the NCAA National Committee adopted the following role: • the development of a national volleyball handbook • the drafting of rules of play • the formation and selection of a national advisory committee, which will be done later this spring. The advisory committee will monitor the progress of various teams in regions throughout the country . Polls will be taken to compare the records of these teams . Next, members of the advisory committee will contact one of the four national committee members. In ·Pennsylvania and New Jersey, telephone calls with such results will come to Saracino's desk. After receiving results on the teams throughout the two states, Ms. Saracino will share her information with that.of the other three national committee members. This will be done in a conference call with one person from the NCAA headquarters . All of the weeks' competition will be discussed in a five-way telephone connection. In addition to keeping tabes on the volleyabll teams, these four committee members will have even more responsibility: • they will look into possible sites for championship competition. • they will be responsible for the selection of the teams that will compete for a championship berth. • they will be responsible for input and judgement pertaining to any problems that may arise. • they will play a role in the selection and design of a national volleyball medallion. As a member of this very impor- tant national committee, Ms . Saracino will be an incredibly busy woman. In fact, she's had plenty of work and responsibility thus far . Most recently, she traveled to Miami, Florida for this year's NCAA National convention. Du.ring this convention, more plans were made with resolutions passed that add even more to the prestige of women's sports nationally. More sports are being sponsored in addition to those passed in last year's convention. Such women's sports as fencing, golf, lacrosse, gymnastics, softball, and outdoor track will become a part of the NCAA. Not only girls sports from divisions II and III are given this opportunity, bu division I teams in the sports selected last year will also be included. Perhaps the greatest accomplishments of the 1981 convention are the changes in the NCAA governences. Throughout the national administrative structure, women will now have imput and will play an important role. For example, in Lady Royals Destroy Colonelettes by Ellen Van Riper The women's basketball team had a .500 week as they split two games to run their overall record to 8-12. On Feb. 11 they travelled to Scranton where they were routed by the Lady Royals 80-36, and on Valentine's Day travelled to Misericordia where they defeated a tough Lady Highlander team 75-65. The outcome of the game at Scranton was never in doubt as the Lady Royals dominated the game from the opening tap. The starting five of Scranton executed their offense to perfection and used a swarming defense .to totally stymie the Lady Colonels. The women from Wilkes appeared to be totally confused by the tactics employed by Scranton, and they were perhaps a bit psyched out by the Lady Royals impressive record of 20-2 and their high national ranking. At the ons~t of the second half, the women from Wilkes showed some signs of life with a brief · spurt, but they were soon once again overwhelmed by the Lady Royals. It simply was not Wilk~' night as the ladies from Scranton continued to play their game and at times to score at will. The only relief for Wilkes was the final Swimmers End Disappointing Season At 0-7 by Chris DaRe On Saturday, Feb. 14, the Wilkes swimming team ended its regular season at Western Maryland. The Colonels were defeated by the Green Terrors 59-38. The loss ended a disastrous season for the Colonels. The Colonels final record was a very unimpressive 0-7. Last Wednesday in the King's College's Scanlon Gym, the Colonels lost to their cross-town rival Kings by a 63-37 score. Wilkes vs. Kings is a war no matter what sport. The rivalry has a way. of bringing out the best in the athletes that participate. Swimming is no different. Turning in stellar performances was again Reed Bello, who won both the required and the optional diving competition. Michele Maguire won the 200 butterfly, and Peggy Butchkavitz garnered a second place finish in the 200 freestyle. Despite the contribution of these three, the Colonels were sorely •Outmanned by their counterparts from Kings. With the victory, the Monarchs won their fourth meet overall, and third in the Middle Atlantic Conference. To say that the Colonels swimm. ing team had a disappointing season would be ·q uite a understatement, however there is still hope for them to salvage some success. Coach Greenwald and his troops must now put those seven losses behind them. The regular season is over. The swimmers must now concentrate on their second season; the MAC Championships. The Championships are slated for Feb. 26. We here at the Beacon would like to wish coach Greenwald and his swimmers the best of luck. all the national governing committees, the number of persons will grow to include women . A committee that once consisted of eight men will . grow to twelve in number, four of which will be women. · All of the women's sports programs at Wilkes are currently part of the NCAA. There is an option, good until 1985, on whether a school sports program is to choose to stay a part of the national association. With the advancement of women's sports throughout the country, it is no wonder Ms. Saracino has been and will be so incredibly busy. A sports revolution of sorts seems to be taking place. The number of women involved is growing l.arger every · year. Because -of the dedication and hard work put into the development of women's sports, those involved throughout the .nation and here at Wilkes stand commended for their efforts. You've come a long way, ladies . PERFECT FORM - An unidentified Colonel swimmer leaps into action against a recent opponent. Hope his form was good enough to win a first place. buzzer. The top scorers for the Lady Colonels were Karen Bove and Sallie Jones with 9 apiece, and Kim Smith led the rebounding with 9. A spectator at the Misericordia game would have found it difficult to decide whether he or she was watching a basketball game or a bar room brawl. To say the game was rough would be an understatement. Both teams played with intensity and aggressiveness and were sometimes a bit too aggressive. The sound of the referee's whistle was a stranger to the game as both teams pushed, · shoved, and elbowed at will. The Lady Colonels built up a lead despite the rough play and led by nine at the half, 38-29. The second half started off rather strangely as the officials decided to have both teams shake hands to try to restore some form of good will. Misericordia took advantage of the goodness and generosity of Wilkes to come back and tie the score. The main catalyst during their surge wa~ Beth Lunger and · her outside shooting. From then on it was an all out war as the teams ~ngaged in a seesaw battle. The rough play continued and tempers began to flare . However, near the end of game the Lady Colonels rose above above their opponents as they exploited Misericordia's pressure defense for a few uncontested layups and easy baskets. The star of the game for Wilkes was Kim Smith who scored 22 points and ripped down 19 rebounds. She was followed by Karen Bove with 14, Diane Hall with 11 , and Sallie Jones with 10. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The system in use at W il kes looks at four primary facto rs: SAT math scores, SAT verbal scores, high school rank , and the gradepoint ave rage in high school English and math courses. This last factor is included because it allows the ad missions personnel to com pare h igh school performance in English and math with the SAT verbal and math scores. W uori noted that th is uniq ue system allows these four criteria to be treated equa ll y. He pointed out that " m ost ad- •• missions systems are and should be unique to a college , " but some consistency among the various systems is achieved in that most colleges use the SAT results in one way or another. Also , most colleges give some consideration to high school class rank and grade-point avt:"rages .

The Beacon is publishing this rape awareness story so that women can be alerted to preventions, precautions and alternatives. Much of the following information was obtained from Carol Lavery of Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR). Rape is a violent crime done to degrade and humiliate another person ; it is not normal sex . ·when a person forces someone else to have sex, it is rape. People are raped by someone they know (acquaintance rape) , or by a relative (incest). A weapon , a fist or verbal threats are used as methods of force. Statistics indicate that in 1980 in Luzerne County, 119 clients contacted the WOAR office. The 15-1 7 age group had the largest number of victims, with the 2<1-25 age group following closely behind. According to Carol Lavery , President of WOAR, this is because women in these age groups are " more accessible . They are usually the ones that are out alone .'' One out of every 10 women are raped . There are very little on-the-street rapes in Wilkes-Barre,.- rapes that occur "right on the street." Lavery noted that , in most rape cases , women are picked up at a dance or skating rink, taken to a secluded area, raped and then brought. back to the area were they were originally picked up .. These victims are "very rarely beaten up ,' ' according to Lavery . Lavery related that the majority of rapes are done by acquaintances of the victim. "The younger the person , the more likely it is they will be raped by someone they know, '' stated Lavery. She said that the rape victim should know she is not alone or crazy . She should seek help and will probably eventually get over tt . Altfiough there is no " right way'' to protect you rself and prevent a rape from happening , certain 113 South M•fn St. Do-town Wllkea-hrr• HOUIIS: Dally 11 e.M,•5:3' p.m. M4HI. & T'hvrs.: 11 ■ .111.--t p.,n.

Prevention and Protection There are normally three things that can determine what a woman 's chances are of being raped. First, what kind of person would you · be as a potential victim - a . fighter or a talker' Lavery classified a fighter as a person who would poke a stick or hat pin in the rapist's eye. " You wot:ld actually be using dirty street fighting , and trying to beat the hell out of the guy.'' However, she cautioned that a fighter should fight to get away from i:he guy and not to get the bet- _ ter of him. Talking can sometimes work as well as fighting. Lavery said that you should talk to the attacker and try to make him see you as a person and not just a body . Trying to convince him that you are not amacred to him sometimes works , also. "The best thing to do," explained Lavery , " is to try everything. Unfortunately, there is not way to tell what kind of rapist the guy is , so there is no sure way of knowing which strategy will work. " The second factor pertains to the rapist himself. What kind of rapist is he 1 With certain types , fighting works . Some rapists actually believe that no matter what you do or say , no matter how much you say no, you really wane sex. Lavery stated that this is the way the majority of rapists think. · The sadistic rapist makes up the smallest percentage - 3 % . This type of rapist, Lavery explained, " is because an attacker can easily trap a the type that mutilates and usually woman by grabbing her scarf. kills the victim. Just about all , The "Typical" Rapist sadistic rapists tie up their victims. According to Lavery, there is no H~ is excitssJ by the battle, and typical rapist.

A WOAR volunteer will accompany the rape victim to the hospital, police and court as a means of providing support . " We also help them make decisions, which is sometimes difficult for a rape victim to do ,'' srated Lavery . "We can sometimes alleviate the horror stories of going to the police. ' ' The majority of rape victims do not prosecute the rapist , according to Lavery. " The rape victim has to make up her own mind to prosecute. However, if a rape victi m reports the rape to the police: it does not mean she will have to prosecure .

In response, the Conyngham building was renovated.'' While student leaders expressed a concern about the relationship between representatives and administration, administration felt that this relationship would not be damaged, if maintenance of the closeness becomes a priority on both parts. Vice President of Student Government, Marla Brodsky , said, "We can't expect everything to be our decision . Some things are decided by the administration . We should be thankful that the administration is willing to sit down and talk with us like this. Most schools wouldn't be this lucky.' ' Stark Hall Regulations · Many students questioned the Stark Hall rules that are in effect which only allow a fixed number of rooms to be utilized for study pur- poses until 1 a.m. Dr. Hartdagen replied that the rules were put into effect due to student input. He continued that having all rooms open 24 hours a day is a waste of energy, can lead to theft and damage to the building. It was also brought to the security in Stark was not performing all of its prescribed duties , especially that of collecting identification cards at the door. Dr. Shaw said that every time he checks, he is asked for identification and is unaware of this lack of security. Additionally, he continued that due to the size of the building, there is never going to be 100 percent security. "The firm we use is Del Cap Security.

Study Habits Throughout this academic year -we have all heard a great deal about the student 's displeasure concerning the restrictions on the use of the Stark Learning Center. Many students feel that the Stark Learning Center is a good place to study . However, these students believe that the college should provide this study space around the clock. It has been suggested that the library hours should also be extended so· that the students can study there. The library staff, however, is not thrilled by the idea of working extended hours. Therefore, it has been suggested that a security guard,,. stationed at the desk could make sure that no one removes any books from the building. This is nonsense. The library is already the target of vandalism, and the administration would not be thinking if it opened that building at night. There are too many expensive -books, furnishings and other pieces of equipment in the library that would be subject to possible vandalism by individuals not solely interested in studying. The Stark Learning Cener has also been a target for vandalism , but one of the reasons for the Stark regulations is to hopefully cut dowo that vandalism. Maybe the study rooms currently open in Stark should be closed. That would significantly reduce vandalism . Many students complain that there is no place for them to study . They should not have to be reminded that it is not the responsibility of the college to provide a place for each student to stud y. Each student should arrange his schedule _to accomodate study hours, and if his study ha bits m ust be changed then that it what must be done. Finally, many resident students complain that they cannot study in their rooms because there is too much noise. These students must be reminded that on page 45 of this year's student handbook it is stated that "Conduct and noise interfering with the. study and sleep of.residents are unacceptable. It is expected that after 7:00 p.m . on week nigh ts from Sunday through Thursday, general quiet hours will be in effect. On weekends general quiet will prevail in all residence halls after 1:00 a.m." Letter Policy USPS 832-080 Patti Sp ar/ow Editor-in-Chief Lisa Gurka News-Copy Editor Louis Czachor Managing Editor John Finn Assistant News Editor Peter Steve Sports Editor Dave Capin Assistant Sports Editor Vanessa Martz Business Manager Mary Kay Pogar Feature Editor Michele Serafin Advertising Manger Doug Fahringer Assistant Feature Editor Lorraine Koch Circulation Manager Larry Corona Photographer .Dr. Norma Schulman Advisor Reporters : Bob Buchsbaum , Lisa Cobb , Elaine Czachor , Chris Care , Amy Elias, Roya Fahmy, Mark James , Tom Jordon , Stan Ray , George Saba , Anthony Sibiya.

Pennsylvania Gas and Water Comp any officials have.issued p leas to everyone , corporations and individuals alike, to curtail their water usage ·by 25 % . They say that if the water cutback is not met , water rationing may go into effect as early as next month. Yet , despite all the pleas and threats, people still area' t decreasing their water consumptio n . Perhaps a few new incentives should be given to prompt th e p eople to conserve water; let them know wh at it wo uld be li ke witho ut water. Imagine what it wou ld be like to ge t u p in the m orning, go into th e ba throom , tu rn on t h e sh ower , and have nothing happen. Or to go to the water fo u ntain for a drink and find that it 's dry. Or to pay u nbelievab le prices for fresh fruits, vegetables , and grain produ cts. O r to have to buy water that is being shipped in from other states . Now, admittedly, these are extremes , but they could easily become realities. The next time you're tempted to take a long, leisurely shower, think of what it would be like not to be able to take one at all_ Or when you leave the water dripping , imagine what it would be like to wish you had those few drops -of water. If you do this, chances are that you' II cut back your water usage. If we all do our part to conserve those precious drops of water, we ' ll never have to experience what it would be like without water. Donna Nitka we get ...

The schedules were then passed out co the team capta ins and the groups lefr ro prepare for the exciting beach party at IO p.m. in the gym. Colorful leis, burmuda ~hons. sungl asses and flip flops were familiar sigh cs at the pare that evening. In manv stud ents ' opi nions. the party was the " best " parrof Wimer Weekend. The band. "East Coast Review. " played an excel lent variety of music the encirt> night. There was one flaw. howeve r. at the beginning of the party : the band blew a fuse . The prob lem was solved 20 minutes later and evervone soon got into the su mmer mood. Saturday 's ful l schedu le of events opened at l p.m . as the teams once again piled onto th e slush y Ralston Field. The games th en began with the Volkwagen race. The competition showed Ocean City winning first , turning in the fastest time. with Gilligan 's Island taking second. and Surf City coming in third. The crabwa lk provided both ex citement and controversy. Two teams were disqualified from th e event because of improper procedure which left first place co Alookie Alookie . with Gilligan's Island taking seco nd and Normandy grabbing third . Man y sack racers fe ll in the slushy field during the sac k race. while Alookie Alookie managed co · win first place. Ocean City came in second , followed by Muscle Beac h in third.

The frisbee rela y race was moved co the track in Kirb y park because the Ra lston crack was locked. Despite the muddy field . Hote l Californic managed its first wi n coming out on cop of Musc le Beach which placed seco nd as Alookie Alookie finished third.

The team the n had co pass the rope through their clothes . alc~rnacing with eac h perso n. whether the rope started with their shirt or pants. Muscle Beach captured first place , whereas Miami Beach and Gill igan 's Island rook second and thi rd respective ly. The anticipated vo ll eyball games started soon after the rope bout. After many elimi nat ion games. Surf City gained first . Gene Sea finisehd second. arid Ocean City pull ed th ird . Finall y, the las t event was cwo swimming relays held in the YMCA on Sunday . G il igan·s Isla nd consistentl y won first place spots in both the l 00 and 200 va rd relavs. Alookie Alookie managed seco;1d in both games whereas Gene Sea rook third places in both as well.

On this special day, people send greeting cards called Valentines to their sweetheam, friends and members of their families . The tradition of Valentine 's Day can be traced back to ancient Rome where a god named Lupercus guarded the people from wolves , which were a great menace at that time . To honor this god , there was a festival every Feb. 15 , at which time young people drew lots for game partners . In 270 A.D ., Valentine, a Roman priest, was killed during the Christian persecution and was made a saint. His feast day was established on the otri4th of February and soon the two days were combined. Acceptance of St. Valentine as patron saint of lovers . later developed . The most plausible reason is the European belief that birds begin to mate on Feb. 14 . This notion presumably suggested that lads and lassies should choose lovers on this day and exchange gifts. Then the word "Valentine " was applied to both person ,and presents. Through the years, England, France and the United States have bEe n the great Valentine's Day _ ~ - ~ ~ ~ ~ ,\\ 0 -;~ :1 a aw .

' according to Erick Hawkins, pionee r of modern dance . Hawkins gave a lecture / dem onstration Monda y night in the CPA as a "warm-up" to the performance of the dance com pan v on Wednesday night. Although th e Monday night program was not quite what most of the aud ie nce ex pected , it turned out to be informative , and gave the audience some insight into Hawkins ' views concerning dance . Hawkins expounded on his views ocncerning his conception of movement . He said , "Where is dancing do we get the most beautiful and efficient movement ' The most beautiful movement is effortless it so deepl y obeys the laws of nature that the movement is wonderful. " The " laws of nature" fig ured quite prominently in Hawkins' development of m odern dance. He believes th at the reason a new development was needed in the world of modern dance is bec2use of the new scientific knowledge that has come to light. He has tried to apply this scientific knowledge about the movem ent of the bodv to modern dance to create some · ef. fortless and efficient movem ent : The lecture concluded with a deomonstration by eigh t members of Hawkins' dan,ce company performing parts of two of the dances he choreogra phed.

In the beginning, the practice was to send gifts rather then verses, although a verse or motto usually accompanied it. Later the verse itself became the Valentine . The custom of giving lavish presents was evident , for instance-, in the times of Charles II , during the 17th century, when the ladies drew the gentlemen ' s names in Valentine 's Day lotteries . There was a certain Duke of Richmond , who , when drawn by a Mrs. Stuart as her Valentine , gave her a jewel worth $4 ,000. Nowadays, the humorous ~nd ' usually unkind Valentines , called "comic," seem . to be outmoded, and there is more of a return to the typical Valentines which are supposed to be anonymous, so there 's no reason to feel silly about sending them . So, at this time of year when the birds are nesting and new hope is springing, start deciding who you will choose to be your Valentine' Visitation Day is coming' Visitation Day is the da y prospective students spend the afternoon touring the Wilkes campus. seeing fi lms and hearing lectures. Only this year, there will be more touring and less lectu ring . ac ording to Marla Brodsky . tour coordinator for the project. Visitation Day will be March 29. and while some plans are still tentative. the sc hedule is prett y well outlined . Registrations will be from 11 :30 a.m. to I p.m . and at that time . tours will also be conducted from the gym. At I p .m .. o pening comments will be made. and form that time until 5 p .m., tours will be co n ducted from the Alumni House. These tours will be led by 12 students from the admissio ns offi ce, and a number of " recruits'· who will be selected fro m a group of volunteers . These students will help register students and direct traffic on campus that day . Also from 1-'i p.m. . three breakdown sessions are scheduled. At the first breakdown. Dean Hoover will speak to the prospective students, while at the others. parents will be informed about financial aid -or will participate in a discussion session with Dea n Lampe . Following this there will be a • meeting with the Department Chai rpersons , parents and students . The day will end with a reception at Weckesser Hall for the parents , and a reception at the Student Ce nter fo r the students. The project this yea r is run by Linda Hobrock and Barbara Welch. According to Brodsky . two years ago (when the project was started) prospective students were barraged with film s. lectures. slides and pamphlets. This year the emphasis is going to be on the campus itself , and showing the students and parents what Wilkes has to off er. The three leaders of the Student Government organizations - Joe Galli , Bill Miller and Janine Tucker, are asking for participants to help tour guides and register the students for the afternoon. The . tour guides will. how11ver. be PIZZA ROMA ·205 South Main Street (Opposi te Perugino·s Villa ) Neapolitan & Sicilian Pizza Lasange, Stromboli, Calzone , etc. EVERY THURSDA y (fro m 4 p. m . t o 8 p .m.)

McHenry commenced that it will be the same program with the same quality of instruction and same op• portunities as the program offers here. She noted that the services will not be diluted in any way. McHenry expressed uncertainty as to the number of students who will be a!Jle to take part in the program , but she did note that the current limits on the numbers of nursing majors on campus wilf be maintained. She pointed out, however, that if the program warrants it , the facilities at the Hospital could be developed to handle more students, but it would be very costly to develop lab facilities theres Students there will pay the same tuition and fees and have the same services, benefits and opportunities as students here on campus. The advantage to the students in the program is that they will be saved the expense of living in a residence hall here.

The unfortunate news is that starter Paul Scaliti may be lost for the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. At press time it is not fully known how long Paul will be out of action. At this point in time the diagnosis of the injury has been narrowed to two possibilities, a chipped bone of the knee cap or, a torn tendon of the knee, both of which are serious injuries that could keep Paul out of action indefinitely. "Beef," as his is referred to around campus, has a rich background in basketball circles all over the East Coast. As a freshman. "Beef" played at Biscayne College which has a Division I basketball program and contributed a considerable amount to their program. Biscayne's basketball program is similar to Wilkes' wrestling program in that it is a small school and most of their intercollegiate athletic teams compete in Division III except for one sport. In the case of Biscayne College, that Division I sport is basketball. Biscayne College plays such teams as the University of Maryland, -Georgia Tech, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Tennessee, all "big time Division I basketball schools." "Beef" feels his experiences at Biscayne where excellent, and also that he played under a very knowledgeable coach, During the year he spent at Biscayne, "Beef" has one claim to fame, he led the Sunshine State Conference in field goal percentage, as he shot 62 percent from the field. "Beef" transferred to Wilkes last year but was forced to sit out due to NCAA ruling whith forces an athlete to be "red shirted" for one year if he transfers from a Division I school to any other school. The only way an athlete can play the immediate year following a transfer is if he orshe transfers from one Division III school to another Division III school. During this, his first year at Wilkes, "Beef" was averaging 12 points per game. Besides averaging double figures for the Colonels, he has Ileen a tremendous asset in both rebounding and passing departments. As a guard, "Beef" has been more than holding his own when battling much taller players for rebounds. More important than his statistics · however, is his attitude. Many of the younger players look to him for encouragement because he played "big time college basketball." It seems when he starts to play with intensity, the whole team begins to play wit.h more intensity. If "Beef" is unable to return to the Colonel lineup it could be very difficult for the team to win the upcoming key MAC games. However, if the team remains mentally tough, this unfortunate news could prove to be the catalyst in the team's quest for an MAC playoff bid. When I reflect on athletic teams and players who become injured, I always become troubled as to fan reaction. It seems that fans only cheer for the people who are actively participating, but what about Paul Scaliti and all of the other athletes like him? Do they deserve to fall by. the way side just because they aren't "active" anymore? Paul, this column was written to tell you that even though you may be out of action for the remainder of the season, my cheers will be just as loud for you as they will be for the rest of your teammates. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the student body in wishing_ you a quick and full recovery from your injury. I would also like to wish'the basketball team the best of luck in tlteir uest for an MAC bid. Swim Team Record o-s by Chris DaRe With two remaining meets , rhe Wilkes College swimming team is staring at the prospect of a winless season. After three losses last week the Colonels are at a disappointing 0~5. The Colonels' week started with a loss to East Stroudsburg State College. The warriors won 59-36 . N'ext came a 56-34 loss to Susquehanna , and finally a 76-24 defeat to Lycommg. Despite the team 's disappointing record, there have been a number of sterling performances. . Reed Bello is slowly proving himself as one of the top divers in the Middle Atlantic Conference if not the entire nation. Reed has ;on every diving competition 'he has entered this year . Although bothered by a bad back , Reed won at ESSC, Susquehanna and Lycommg. Reed's performances at Susquehanna drew raves reviews from head coach Bob Greenwald. ''I've never seen him dive as well as he did at Susquehanna. He was ex tremely impressive.' ' Bello, a sophomore from Holland, Pa, was beaten by the same Susquehanna diver a year ago. Add that plus the fact that he won on the road, and you can see why coach Greenwald was so pleased. In winning both diving events at Lycoming, Reed greatly enhanced ·his chance for nationals . Diving coach Bob Lewis thinks Reed has an excellent chance to qualify. In the Susquehanna meet, Robert Doty, a senior from State College, came withtn . I of a second of his pers\:mal best in the 200 t>ackstroke. Other top performers in the Susquehanna meet included: Michele Maguire, who garnered a first in the 200 fly , and the 400 free relay team . In the ESSC meet Maguire again won the 200 fly ; Doty won the 200 breaststroke , and the relay ream won. In looking back at the last three meets, one cane see a tremendous amount of improvement ; the swimmers are finally rounding into shape; and the scores are getting closer_. Hopefully that improvement will fm.tlly result in a numero uno in the win column . _. �February I :1 . l!J8J. The Beacon.

That is the best word to describe tlie kind of support the Colonels' basketball team has received in the last few games at the South Franklin Street Gy~n. Colonel fan support has been just pitiful. It was not my intention this week to do another column on fan support. but I felt that one commentary on such a dismal subject would be enough to jar the voices of everyone on campus. But after sitting in an empty gym this past Monday when the Colonels played Muhlenberg College, I decided it was time to pull out all the stops. Unless you haven't noticed, Wilkes College, your men's basketball team has a chance at making the MAC playoffs. They are in a_nip and tug fight with King's for the second playoff spot from the MAC '.'lorthwestern Division. The Royals of Scranton with the backing of their fans have already assured themselves of a playoff spot by boasting the best Northwestern Division record in the MAC. With the right amount of support, a few breaks in the form of King's defeats , and some heads-up play from the Colonels themselves. we might just be in action when the MAC Tourney rolls around on February 27 and 28, instead of watching the Royals and Monarchs on the court. I just cannot understand the reason for such _a low turn-out at the majority of men's games this year. We have a team which, at press tim~. owned a 10-9 record overall, and a 5-5 MAC record. Although the team 1s far from being undefeated, it certainly does not deserve the kind of support the fans have shown this year. . Watching tile Colonels in action throughout this season, I really believe that a roaring crowd in the Blue and Gold ' s favor makes a difference in the game's final outcome. More than any other Colonel team this season, the men's basketball squad is a team of inspiration . In the last three home games, the Colonels have played what one might best refer to as "spurt" basketball. By this I mean that for a few minutes of the game, the team can do nothing wrong. But then they fall into a slump and usually end up loosing a lead which they so frantically worked at establishing. With this type of up a nd down play, I think you can see where the fan support would come into play. A roaring crowd can turn the smallest plus for a team into a major factor. With a packed Wilkes' gym, the Colonels would certainly be able to use a deafening cheer to their advantage. A fired up crowd is definitely what the cagers ne·ed to lift them out of their up and down style of play. Usually it is the coach or the players that ta ke the rap when a team does poorly, and most of the time the criticism is justified. But this is one time when the fault is one the part of yo u and I. It is time for us to "take the ball into our own hands" sort of speak. As I said in the last column, it all comes down to a matter of pride. Pride in the institution, pride in the team, and pride in yo urself. At a time when apathy seems to be at its highest on campus, don't let this opportunity to prove otherwise slip away. Sacrafice some time. come to the game, and let everyone know you're proud to be a Colonel. Really proud! r'lfl ~iflrflll r'llllJ~fl • by Doug Williams This past Friday established the first place Gecka nooza as a force to be reckon with. The loud chants of GEEKA-NOOZA filled the bowling alley with a fear of what will come in the weeks ahead. However. this powerhouse of a team has to be on the lookout for the resurgent :\oNames. Many people have been asking about these mystery bowlers and their many successes. I have no solutions as to the tremendous scores being shot by this cabal.

She makes 67 percent of her shots from the foul line , making her one of the top 10 · foul shooters in the MAC, but she is also one of the conference's top JO re bounders .

Also under consideration by the administration is the possibility of moving the offices of the deans of Student Affairs to the third floor of the Student Center after renovations are made. The three deans in the Student Affairs Office, George Ralston, Jane Lampe and Arthur Hoover commented on the move of SG and CC as well as the possibility of moving themselves. Dean Ralston commented , "With the student organizations we have had a very close, very suecessful, very meaningful relationship."

This year for the first time in the history of Wilkes College, the Union was invited to compete for honors . Wilkes accepted the challenge and entered the competition as an untested neophyte but returned to Pennsylvania very victorious, having won a total of 13 trophies. The victories are as follows: In debate competition Fred Deets and Patti Sparlow defeated five other institutions before being eliminated in the final round of competition. Their area of debate participation consisted of the highly individualized Lincoln-Douglas format. Patti Sparlow, in her first tournament of the year, was named fourth best debate speaker . The public speaking unit was represented by Linda Esrov and Darlene Schaffer. Ms . Schaffer won five trophies and Ms. Esrov won six . Darlene's wins included a fourthplace finish in persuasive competition, a third place trophy in Impromptu, another third place in Informative Speaking and she finished second , behind her teammate , in After Dinner Speaking Competition. Her victories netted her being named the 'fifth Best Overall Speaker at the tournament. Linda, a new recruit this year, smashed all existing records with her six victories . Ms. Esrov won three first-place awards in After Dinner Competition , Informative Speaking and Persuasive Discourse. She won also a second-place trophy in Humorous Interpretation of Literature and a fifth-place award for Dramatic Interpretation of Literature. Linda received a standing ovation when named The Outstanding Overall Orator of the tournament. The victories were sweetened when it was announced at the conclusion of · the competition that Wilkes College was being awarded ~ht Third-Pla,t Overall Team Award. The last award was the result of a total combined effort by both the debate and public speaking squads, and represents a very significant accomplishment for the Debate Union. The Debate Union and the Public Speaking Unit are coached and directed by Dr. Bradford Kinney of the Speech Division. otherwise possible . Ralston pointed out that once CC and SG are relocated , "We can continue to operate effectively, but we 'll have to make a lot of adjustments because we have been used to this direct communication.'' Dean Lampe stated , " I am very strongly opposed (to having SG and CC move out) ." She added, " We have to do what is in the best interest of the overall institution .'' She noted that it has been " such a big plus being in close contact ~ith regard_to physical office posiuon. What we have had is ideal.' ' She commented that it can be possible to ·still have a working relationship with the student organizations. Dean Hoover noted that the student organization offices have been close at hand and the student affairs office has worked very closely with them. About the SG and CC move he commented, "I hate to see it happen ." He added, however, that 1 ~~~is~i~s 1::!~r::taS:? to accept Looking on the bright side , Hoover stated , "We have to look at the ·plusses, ' · and the posmve things in a move such as this . ''The college is more important than any one of us - any individual or any group ," he added . " We have to take a positive attitude and look for positive things that will come from it. " Regarding relocation of the Stu dent Affairs offices Dean Ralston stated , ''Our only concern is what is best for the students at the college ." , He added , " I feel perfectly agreeable to it, and even welcome it if it will better serve the needs and mak~ the educational experience more effective .'

May you have many more . · USPS 832-080 MovingDay An announcement was recently made by the administration that student of fices will soon be moved from their present location in W eckesser Hall to the Student Center, with the possibility that the Student Deans' Office will soon follow suite . The move of the student offices to the Student center is logical and a welcome change . What better place for a student government or council than in the same building where most of the people they represent spend a great deal of time? Perhaps this will encourage students to visit their representatives and vice versa more often . Although one cannot condone the administration's lack - of consultation with student leadets on this point , one c~n definitely see the logic in the decision. Student offices should be near students, not administration. Although it is understandable why it would be convenient for these governing bodies to be near the administrators, it also seems like an ironic paradox . Many of these representatives would rather rub elbows with deans and administrators than with their constituents. Ad- m1mstrators do not vote in student government elections . Many elected officials believe that communication between students and administration will become damaged and possibly suffer as a result of this move. On the other hand , if this student rep/ administrator relationship is as good as it is claimed to be, then a relocation across the street will hardly cause its downfall. With this move , the student representatives may develop a relationship with the students, something not too many care to do anymore . While moving the student offices to Conyngham is a step in the right direction, the student deans should remain in Weckesser. Although they are student deans, they are also part of the administration, and as such, should remain in an administrative building. Moreover, a dean's office in a student center just doesn't seem kosher. The resolution? Move the ~tudent offices nearer to the students, but allow the deans to remain in their present ,location. Some may cry out "Segrega.tion!" but it's a kind of segregauor;i that makes sense . - Patti Spar/ow Editor-in-Chief :<- - -==--~~- -t'-~ ,.~ Peter Steve Sports Editor Louis Czachor Managing Editor Lisa Gurka News-Copy Editor ~ ~~r=-::.~~[.~-~ q - Assistant News Editor Dave Capin Assistant Sports Editor Mary Kay Pogar Feature Editor Vanessa Marez Business Manager Doug Fahringer Assistant Feature Editor Michele Serafin Advertising Manager Lorraine K och Circulation Manager Larry Corona Photographer Dr. Norm a Schulm an Advisor Parrish Hall 16 S.

It 's not unusual to see stickers and pictures on someone 's door . But this door is a little different - it has a bit of everything, and some things one would not expect, such as a picture of George Washington , a Christmas card and a picture of a fence . But in Tom Rooney, one of the occupants of the room , one finds a bit of everything, and some things one would not expect. Because one of his most noticeable qualities ·is a well-developed sense of humor, Tom sometimes has a problem being taken seriously by rtwse who don't know him well and who don 't expect him to be serious. Tom does have his serious side , though, and is not afraid to let it show. As he says, ''I'm not into the macho image." He just likes to be himself . And that self is one that often finds a great deal of humor in people and in situations, yet is one that can also be serious. One thing about which Tom is serious is his major, business administration , with a concentration is marketing . Tom started out, not as a business major, but as a chemistry major. during his sophomore year, he realized that he was not interested in chemistry as he had been , and changed his major to business. In the future ; he plans to gain some experience in this field through co-op. What does Tom plan to do after he graduates ? Earnestly he says , "Well , I think I'll stop in and see my parents. " Then he adds more seriously, ''I'd like to go into sales or buying .. something that would allow me- to work with people.'' Tom should be able to work well From The Other Side............ . ''Paper Chase'' It's hard to keep a good series down. Now I know that is a play on an old cliche,' but it fits a description of "Paper Chase ." The old CBS series has been brought back to life by the good people of PBS. When it first debut a few years ago , "Paper Chase" was hearlded by the critics, bur not by the public . It is .hard to blame the viewers for the demise of the series. After all , CBS didn ' t give it I00 percent backing . They were always moving it to another night , or pre-empting it with a special. So, " Paper Chase" didn ' t make the grade the first time round on national television . • After the ax fell on the show, PBS decided to pick-up the program and finish shooting some scheduled shows. Without a doubt , PBS earned an " A" for effort , and sound programming. The show does an excellent job of putting you into the classroom , and helps you feel the pressure of law school. John Houseman 's role of Prof. Kingsfield wilf go down in history as the perfect match of actor to part . No other actor could do justice to the role . However, the show stands out in a crowd for more than just Hi:mseman. James Stephens porrraies James T. Hart , or Mister Hart if you prefer. The highly talented young actor molded himself into the part and performs with a unique feeling for the part. The writing is solid and was produced in a time when it was not how well the phrase was said , but how well the actor doing the part looked . The series is above that level of " boob cube mentality " that other series find themselves at. The case as a whole had little acting experience, but the show launched the.careers of Robert Ginty, " Baa Baa Black Sheep ,' ' and Marilu Henner, ' Taxi. ' ' Thank you PBS for saving a doomed series. Doomed not because of faults wirhin the show itself, but because it was in the wrong place at the wrong rime, and was not treated in the right manner by a big network . Beacon Office Hours · with people . Even now he is intrigued by the people he meets. " Before, I used to be more critical of people and their actions, but as I got older, I became less critical because I realized that people are different and they have different reasons for their actions.'' Sometimes other people do not understand Tom's reasons for his actions. For instance , Tom says , "When I go out to study , someone might ask where I'm going and I' II tell them, 'To study,' but they don't believe me . When I come back , they'll ask me where I've been and I' II tell them I've been studying. Then they say , 'Oh yeah , sure.' " Tom shrugs off this comment even though he admits , " It can be frustrating . It bothers me at the time , but after a while it doesn't .'' People who see Tom think of him only as a humorist may find it difficult to believe that he gets depressed sometimes, just like everyone else . What does he do to get himself out of such a mood? '' I have to be alone . I usually just go into my room , turn up the headphones loud and listen to some music. The music has to be happy to get me out of the mood ." This type of music includes John Cougar, Pat Bena tar, "American Gigolo ' ' and first side of' 'Tusk .' ' In addition to favorite music , Tom has a favorite place. Tom jokingly says, "K-Mart is my favorite place. I can .sit for days waiting for those blue light specials.'' But as a . place to spend more than a few days (even though there aren ' t any bluelight specials) Tom favors New England where he would eventually like to live and work . Why New England?

She will be leaving at the end of this semester to go to Richmond, Virginia. The move, she said , was precipitated only by her husband 's job transfer. A native of New York , she. received a B.A. in music from the Manhattan School of Music , where she studied opera . But after deciding that a musical career wouldn't be profitable for her, she studied accounting and received her M .B.A. in accounting from Temple University. After passing the C.P.A . exam in 1980, she came to this area with her family and hoped to find work as a public accountant . Wilkes College offered her a teaching position , and , , with no prior teaching experience to. bolster her confidence, she accepted. Since that time she has become ---------Commentary-------- 1 Cosell's Not Perfect Either! by Mark James In his lofty and overly rhetoricl manner of eloquence and discourse ; the infamous and occasionally obnoxious Howard Cosell once again in his grandiose and pompous lack of demure has with editorial outrage scorned and decried the mercenaries of the National Footbal League . During the circumstance and decorum of the pinnacle of outstanding and ostentatious confrontations between the most renowned gladiators , the Pro Bowl , Mr. Cosell had retained his long-standing unmentionable reputation in his sometimes forensic language with a perturbed and outright preposterous editorial on the predominant purpose of the now bygone pinnacle of pro football competition , secorid only to the Super Bowl and perhaps the playoffs and championship battles that so enlightened viweres of video and audio wireless telegraphy. Although the heated battle in the trenches, the vim and vigor of the thundering backs , and the fleeting aerial excellence of the strong armed field generals to the swan-like antelopes of the far sidelines was less than can be either expected or preferred , the controversial commentator's callous colloquoy and crude self-created criterion as to the role of the epic event must be criticized and is deserving of reprimand. Had this man not been guilty of imperfect punctuation and flow of thought in the dialogue of his own diatribe , had his elocution been brought forth to the decoding ecouter as crystalline as a babbling brook in a green hodgepodge kaleidoscope of earth, vegetation , and sunligh t, had he held off his imperative assumptions with digni- ty and couth restraint m respect to his contentions, Mr. Cosell would not only be obliged, but also aesthetically compelling, digniified and uncontested in the point he was trying to make . But unfortunately, as Dido rages in utmost scorn and Beowulf's bequeath beacon burns, the irony of this event is that this man had expanded and emulated the awful circumstances into a more repelling nightmare than br commonly resented, despite his degenerate role; contemplated as to the validity aooKSHAIR SALON Men'1 cind w__,·, holr atyllnt manlcur.. and perms c.1,,....,.,. tor .. 1111111[,tiwt IM-1121 1S S.

"We've managed to place all honors people in the past few years." Mrs. Carlin's leaving will bring about some changes in this year's placement procedure. Normally, interviews for the students are set up sometime in September, and by November the students know where they will be serving their internships. But this year things will be a bit different . "We're trying something new, and I'm very excited about it," Mrs. Carlin commented.

Station Manager Chris Kosakowski said, "In the three years that I have been a · member of WCLH, I have seen the station grow under strong leadership and establish a closer working relationship among the members '. The station has also undergone some changes. ' ' One of the changes is that tpe station now broadcasts 18 hours a day, 130 hours per week. Kosakowski also noted that all the departments are ''very active now.'' There is no one person doing all the work, the group works together. " Kosakowski further commented , ' ' I feel we are the most active organization on the Wilkes campus in terms of the number of members, the service we provide and the funct1on we serve.·· The station manager's job is twofold, according to Kosaskowski . "I manage the station and direct the people who belong to it. I also try to maintain a good working relationship with the staff as well as the administrators and executors of the school and community. '' As for the future of WCLH, Kosakowski looks for a "continued growth of the station." Wdilll can boast of a total membership of 75 people. However, only 34 are presently doing shows . According to Stan Ray, Operations Director, this is because "A lot of people can't fit a show into their schedule this se·m ester.'' There are 15 new members . presently being trained to become disc jockeys. "I've been at the station since 1979 and there has been a steady upward trend in the amount of members," commented Ray . The only problem he sees is that a lot of people only see it as fun and not was work , and they aren't really devoted . In addition to training all new members and maintaining the FCC logs, Ray also produces various news and entertainment shows , such as "You and Your Economy ," " Supersounds Reports" and a reggae show. Ray feels that the potential at the radio station is its greatest assets. "You can really show your abilities at WCLH, whether it be as a DJ, in the news department or in production work. '' News Department The News Department offers a variety of programs ranging from international news to local news to features, such as "Today in History" and "Energy Scan." According to News Director Mark Thomas, all of the news is obtained from the Associated Press teletype which he calls the '' lifeline of the station." "Without it ," he said, "We would be blind and deaf as to what goes in around the world.'' Thomas said that the station buys the rights to the use of the AP news and since it is bought , they have the right to use what they do. "The AP is perhaps the most vital piece of equipment we have and is well WCLH STAFF CELEBRATES STATION'S BIRTHDAY Seated from left: Dom Augustine, Sports Director ; Mark Thomas, News Director; Jim Winslow, Engineering Staff; Chris Kosakowski, Station Manager; Stan Ray, Operations Director; Bob Rushworth, worth the price . Where the AP leaves off, local news picks up , " he said. · Ron Labatch came up with the idea to start a local news team . He then took the idea to Thomas and Dr. Brad Kinney, Director of Broadcasting Services. Labatch is assisted with local news by Darlene Schaffer. The local news technically has five reporters and are currently updating the list of reporters . According to Labatch and Schaffer, they have already had four stories on the air before they were reported by any other radio or TV station. Two examples of this are the controversy between Commissioner Frank Trinisewski and the late Chairman Frank Crossin, and an announcement of a letter from a representative of Macy's expressing an interest in developing Lazarus Department Store . Labatch commented that in the beginning, not too many people thought it would last . "Aloe of people thought of us as kids playing. Now King's picked up on the idea, and Nanticoke High School has also. " "This is a true professional attempt by amateurs to cover and write news," Thomas said, "We are the first college station in · the area to do local news .'' · Public Affairs Director; Ernie College, Production Quality Director ; George Saba, Program Director. Standing from left: Darlene Schaffer and Ron Labatch, Local Ne_ws Reporters. Missing from photo: Gary Willets and Rob Wallace, Engineering Staff. The reactions from the people at the different events they covered was, at first, one of surprise - surprise that a college radio station was covering local news . They were also accepted by the professional media, who were very supportive . La batch and Schaffer both extend special praise to Connie Lizdas of the Citizens Voice and Keith Martin, formerly with WBRE-TV , who helped them in the beginning. Schaffer commented, "Any doubts in the beginning are now positive feelings and endorsements.'' Labatch and Schaffer also produce a news show called ''Local News in Review," which can be heard every Thursday night at 8: 15 p .m. They are hoping to expand the department and the coverage of local events. " Public Affairs Department Public Affairs Director Bob Rushworth said that his duties are "that of a PR man . I deal with outside, nonprofit organizations with Public Service announcements.' ' These announcements are heard as "WCLH Reminds Yc u. " Rushworth also prints program guides which tell what WCLH has to offer to the public.

This program is heard on Thursday at 7:45 p .m. Production Quality The position of Production Quality Manager was formed at the beginning of the fall semester. The man in charge of this position is Ernie College, and he described his duties as "overseeing the quality of production work done - the scripting, delivery and how it is engineered ." · College trains people to use the production room , makes promos for the various shows and makes . sure that the carts are evenly distributed (not used over and over). When asked if this was a good idea , College responded , " Yes, because it sets a standard of consistency in regard to loudness , and_delivery , among other things, it makes the station sound more professional and for this reason, I am not easy on people ." Sports Department Dom Augustine has been Sports Director since the fall of 1980 . He felt that since he has assumed this position , he has brought more organization to the department . ' 'I straightened it out a little bit , instituted a filing system and generally organized it a little better.'' Augustine produces two sports shows , along with a report he puts on cart which is aired at different times during the day . " Sports Talk " is a show that deals with events that have occurred in the sports world during the week . Augustine a:lso tries to have guests on every week . Some of the people he's interviewed on the show have been Hank Aaron, Rollie Schmidt and Dave Kaschak . Beacon Sports Editor Pete Steve is the co-host of the show, which can be heard on Friday at 4 p.m . "Sports in Review" covers the weekend happenings in sports and deals with the professional, collegiate and high school occurrences, but "always Wilkes sports." "Sports in Review" is aired on Tuesdays at 4 p .m. Augustine also noted that he has done a number of live broadcasts such as wrestling and basketball, and has plans to cover baseball in the spring. ''I place a lot of emphasis on local sports, especially Wilkes . I feel we are doing a good job." Dr. Kinney commented , "WCLH is not a toy . What the station provides is the hands-on experience which is a great asset to the student. It is a viral and viable experience . that gives the student a chance to learn the ropes of operating a radio station . All the . people on the air do a good job and we' re proud of them .'

'' Accounting Senior ' 'I'm not sure I'm opposed to the fact of moving to the Student Center as much as I'm upset with the lack of rnnsultation with student leaders and other administration, which -should have been done as part of the decision making process.'' Editor's Note: Joe Galli is President of Student Government. Mary Giblin Nursing Senior ' 'The offices are established at Weckesser and so are the vital communications between the student body and administration . Tell me why the move? " ' Senior "I think the move demonstrates a lack of concern on the part of some of the administration for the work student leaders have done now and in the past. The rules of counesy alone would have dictated that the students viewpoints should have been considered. I think that student administrator relations could be possibly damaged as a result of the lack of communication and consideration. '' Nursing Nursing Senior " I feel that this move will bring the students closer together as a body. After all , it is the student center. Why not have our Student Government right upstairs for our own benefit." Senior "I think it will take some adjustments although it 's a positive move and a nice change. It 's about time that we use that beautifu l building for something useful.

' ' These were the words of Coach John Reese as reflected upon the four consecutive victories the Colonels have compiled since early January. The Colonels have been on a tear since the new semester began as they defeated Rutgers; Temple , Binghamton State and Southern Connecticut all in impressive fashion . On Wednesday evening , the Wilkes gym rocked as the wrestling team defeated h ighl y-touted Binghamton State 38 -2. Doug Billig, Billy Dodge , Mark Popple and Lenny Nelson turned in banner performances. Billig got things started early for W ilkes as he pinned John Leo in 5:47 . Dod ge then responded with a 19-3 superior decision and the Colonels were well on their way to a rout as they took a commanding 11-0 lead . The next five bouts were all Wi~es ' as they dominated the contest and jumped to an overwhelming 30-0 lead before John Young earned two points for Binghamton as he drew with Dan Miner 5-5. Coach Reese felt the meet would be a little closer since Binghamton is currently ranked 8th nationally in Division III . However, the mighty Colonels showed why they are among eastern supremecy in Division I as they coasted to victory. On Saturday afternoon the Colonels entertained Southern Connecticut but were not very polite to their guest as they garnered an impressive 39-7 victory . The Colonels won 8 of 10 bouts as they raised their overall record to 8- 7. Southern Connecticut jumped to an early 3-0 lead as Jim Moller defeated Doug Billig 7-4. In the 134-lb bout , Mark NOSE TO THE GRIND - With his nose only six inches off the mat, there is nothing much this wrestler from Binghamton could do against Jim Johnson. Popple did an outstanding job ano earned a pin with 54 seconds re-. maining in the second period . Prior to the pin Popple was trailing by a score of 6-2 . From the 150-pound weight class on it was all Wilkes as they won the last six bouts to gain the victory. Both Joe Burmingham and Rich Smith did outstanding jobs as they earned impressive pins. Burmingham gave Wilkes a commanding 21- 7 lead as he showed southern Connecticut's Jack McEnerney the lights at 5: 3 5. Rick Smith closed out the afternoon in impressive fashion for the Reesmen as he pinned Tony Marciano in 8:08 to wrap up the 39-7 victory . Prior to the Southern Conenecticut match coach Reese felt the "Owls" were a strong wrestling team. "They had an 11-5 record and they had a big win over Yale, but we were just too strong for them in most of the weight classes .'

The dictionary defines recruiting as - to obtain replacements for new supplies or anything lost , wasted or needed. Spores fans defi ne recruiting as a way to measure a coaches dedication to his team . If chis is true , Wilkes College has a trul y dedicated winter coaching staff. In our three major spa m , mens, womens bas ketball and wrest!ing, we have three coaches chat spend many hours in an attempt to find athletes chat can help our spores team . It is no surprise chat our mens and womens basketball teams are Division III and cannot offers as much as a Division ], school w0uld . However Coach Ron Righter and Nancy Ro.heres continue to give up their time in search of the talented high school athlete. Many people don ' t realize however that we ha ea Division I wrest!ing program chat can compete with any team in the country. The main reason for Wilkes ' success in wrestling as compared to other sports is its head coach , John Reese . Mr . Reese has become on~ of the most well known wrestling coaches in the country, which is no great surprise. Coach Reese has single handedl y changed Wilkes from a Division III team to a Division I powerhouse . Every other week we can see our wrestling team compete with squads like Penn State , Lehigh , Missouri and Nebraska. It' s a big change from playing Kings and Scranton for a local basketball title . I' m not saying that playing a Division III basketball game is not important because it is! But once in a while it 's great to say that we go to a school chat regularl y 'beats squads like Temple , Clemson and Rutgers . We owe a great deal of this satisfaction to John Reese. He is so well known and respected chat high school coaches recommend their scar athletes to go to Wilkes and that 's wh y we have such a great wrestfing squad . Coach Reese has gotten almost all of his wrestlers from recommendations by high school coaches. Most of these wrestlers are good when they come to Wilkes, but not great. Wilkes only has one wrestler that has won his liigh school state championship . However, these are che same individuals who gain All-American honors and win to"ur.namencs for Wilkes College. This says a great deal about John Reese and his wrestling program. In fact some time in the near future we ma y have the Number l ranked wrestling team in the country and that will sure put our small college on the map . ..~ ":7 § lf:...Y 8§ 83 8 Calendar Chuci Robbins ... ll S 8 8 8 SEE YOU IN THE PAPERS! ····················~· Head swimming coach Bob showed up for practice .

Time and time again, the Aces take the court with Sg fewer and fewer fans in the bleachers. What is the cause for this lack of interest? Can it be that the Aces are competing against the local colIeges and high schools for fan support? For all practical purposes, the answer is no. Take our athletic events for example. In case you haven't been counting when you last attended a Colonel wrestling meet or basketball game, fan support has not been all that great. Don't get me wrong, the people who are in attendance have been supporting the teams with all they got, but as far as overall numbers go, attendance is down. Except for a few key MAC matchups in basketball and meets against Division I wrestling powers, there is room for a lot more people in the gym on the nights of average games or meets. . · 88 For a campus of our size and an area full of athletic heritage, I see no ,: reason why a gym which seats 1800 people at a maximum can not be full ~ on a regular basis. For less than the cost of one ticket to a movie, a person can see quality sports competition without the worry of a sore behind because of two straight hours in the same seat. The past basketball game against Kings had the kind of support and 8 enthusiasm which all Colonel events should have. Not only were Wilkes' students in attendance, but many other people having nothing to do Sg directly with the college were there as well. And boy did they get their money's worth. I don't know anyone who can honestly say they left the '===========================::!.! 8g gym with a bad feeling, unless they were a King's fan. 8 It was really good to see more people in the bleachers than there .was S g8 room for, with all of them screaming at the top of their lungs.

They left their warm homes, with color TV sets and 21-course diners to pack the Wilkes gymnasium like sardines in a tin can. The Wilkes men's basketball team was in a state of shock after the Jan . 24 Scranton chaos . Two days later they played like zombies against Elizabethtown and it looked as though it was good-bye Columbus . Just when you thought the chips were down, the "sleeping giant " fans from Wilkes Collegt came to the rescue along with a 6 '4' ' junior from Pringle, Pa. Tony "Fudd" Madden had been in a slump just like the fans who never showed up at Wilkes basketball games. However, on Jan . 28 , both Madden and the Wilkes fans came alive to soundly defeat the Monarchs of King's College, 72-61 . The King's game was by far the most important Wilkes will play this year. If they had lost, it would have been "better luck next year" for Coach Righter and company . Kevin J.J. Walker was a tower of strength under the boards for Wilkes and super sophomore Paul Scaliti provided the Colonels with a light touch from the outside. But Jan . 28 belonged to Tony Madden. He scored 19 second half points and played an outstanding defensive game to lead the blue and gold to victory . Over the past six games Wilkes has not looked as Bowling by Doug Williams The second week of team competition brought out some tremendous scores throughout the league . The Aristocrats, led by Ed Salley's 578 series, took ·all three games from the previously unbeaten Triskadekaphobia. Triska . was led · by Karen Cocco's 390. Elsewhere in the league , Geekanooza continued their winning ways by taking 2 out of 3 from the 752 Crew. The Columbian 300's (last semester's champs) returned to their previous form by beating the Maniacs . The 300's were led by Doug Williams and Bill Petrick who shot 6 53 and 596 respectively .

Walker leaps high above the crowd to pump in two for the Blue and Gold. sharp as they did in the beginning of the year. However, it all came together for the Colonels last Wednesday when they won thesecond round of the "backyard classic" against King's College. ~t Saturday Wilkes had another important test ahead of them. They had never won a conference game away from this year and had to face a tough Delaware Valley squad . Coach Righter spent many long hours in his office before the game trying to devise a winning strategy. "I think I have a good game plan, but you never know with Delaware Valley . They gave us a lot of trouble earlier in the year at our home court .'' Once again it was the Tony Madden show as he scored another 19 points to lead the Colonels to a 7470 victory . with 14 :49 left to go and Wilkes down by three, Madden scored eight points in a 13 point scoring stretch to put the Aggies away . What the Wilkes cagers did not know was that- while they were beating Delaware Valley, Scranton University was turning the MAC Conference wide open with an 8778 victory over King's. The Scranton victory moved the Royals into first place with a 5-2 record and pushed King's to 4-3 in the MAC. Wilkes' two straight wins moved them into a tie for second place with King's at a 5-4 slate . This past Monday Wilkes traveled to Philadelphia to take on Philadelphia Textile in a non- conference game. The Colonels were not expected to win or even come close to beating Tex tile because they are one of the most respected Division II powerhouse squads in the east . Coach Righter must have done a great scouting job because Wilkes took Textile into overtime and lost a surprisingly close 63-61 battle . This game proved that the Wilkes cagers can play tough on the road. Wilkes has four very tough games coming up and these matchups will either make or break the Colonels. It's going to be hard for King's to regain their composure after losing to Scranton and an injury to starter Charlie Lachner won't help them either. On the other hand, both Wilkes and Scranton are psyched ~nd optimistic about their upcommg games. Only two teaQlS will earn an invitation to the playoffs and it will be between Wilkes, Scranton and King's.

Textile, 68-51 by Ellen Van Riper The Beacon recently has not been covering the women's basketball team, so a brief description of the game played since the end of last semester will be given to help our readers catch up. At present, the overall team record is 5-10, and the Middle Atlantic ·conference competition record is 4-4. Over the semester break, the team participated in the Letterwomen's Tournament, hosted by Wilkes. In the first game, the Lady Colonels defeated Western Maryland College 68-52 to move into the finals against Marywood College . High scorers were Diane Hall, with 14, and Stacy Keeley, with 12. The team lost to Marywood in the finals 4 7-43, and the high scorers were Keeley and Sallie Jones with 10 apiece. Keeley was selected as the most valuable defensive player of the tournament . Stacy is a sophomore nursing major from Mt. Holly, N. J. , and was selected to fill the position of captain, left vacant by Diane Kendig. The team next travelled to Moravian College where they were defeated 77-62 . Top performers were freshman Kim Smith with 20 points and Karen Bove with 11 and Stacy Keeley with 10. The Lady Colonels next played a big game at home against King 's. Robin Fry, the head coach at King's, was an assistant under Wilkes head coach Nancy Roberts last season, so the matchup had extra incentive for both teams . However, the gam~s was not as close as expected, and Wilkes was defeated 86-65. Top scorers for the Colonelettes were Karen Bove with 14 and Kim Smith with 12. In the next game, again played at home, the Colonelettes played an overall excellent game and defeated a talented Albright team 72-62. The key to the game was the wellexecuted , ream defense played by the Lady Colonels. The team also displayed a balanced scoring· attack as five players hit for double figures. Karen Bove and Mary Jean Farrell led the way with 17 and 16, respectively, and were supported by Stacy Keeley with 12, Kim Smith with 11 and Sallie Jones with l O. The women then travelled to New Jersey where they are defeated by Upsala College 93-54 . The game was a very emotional one as both the players and coaches from boJh teams complained about the officiating and rough play . Sallie Jones led the team with 16 points and Karen Bove and Stacey Keeley added 12 and 11 each, respectively. Elizabethtown College, a powerful MAC team with a 10-1 record, came to Wilkes where they dealt the Lady Colonels a 83-40 defeat. The Blue Jays of Elizabethtown starting off scoring quickly , and the Colonelettes were unable to catch up. High scorers for Wilkes were Kim Smith and Sallie Jones with 13 . apiece . The Colonelettes then hosted Luzerne County Community College in a game played last Saturday and were defeated 57-44. The MinuteMaids of LCCC used an ef. fective outside shooting game to build an early lead which they never relinquished. At one point, the Lady Colonels cut the lead to four, but found themselves down 34-24 at the half. Mary ·Jeah Farrell led Wilkes with 10, and Kim Smith and Sallie Jones added 8 apiece. This Monday the women travelled with the men ' t team to play a double-header against Philadelphia College of Textiles and Sciences. The Lady Colonels were defeated 68- 51 . Kim Smith was high scorer · with 14, and Karen Bove and Sallie Jones contributed 10 apiece'. The next game for the ladies is this Friday, Feb. 6, against Muhlenberg College at 6:30 p .m . in the Wilkes Gym. On Monday , Feb. 9, the Colonelettes will host Bloomsburg State College at 6: 30 p .m . Any fan support will be greatly appreciated by the team . � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Water disp lacement devices are being placed in toilet tanks in residence halls wherever they can be accommodated. Adams noted that most of the water that is wasted m the dorms is wasted through showes. '' The 20minute shower is notorious,' ' he com mented . In order to encourage shorter showers , the water heaters in all of the dorms have been turned down at least 10 degrees. He explained , '' A little bit of consc iousness would save a lot of water. He also noted that there is a good chance that the college will make mandatory cutbacks. Th is would mean each residence hall could be expected to use 2 5 percent less water. NOT ICE The time for the ·-·eekly mretir,g of IRHC has been changed to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday in the basement of the library. / 1t the water shortage contmues to worsen, the water company may impose a limit of 40 gallons of water per resident per day . When and if these limits go into effect, Adams said, " We will have to live within that quota .' ' If the do rms are not able to comply with the regulations, the water __ company can impose additional restrictions, including fines and curtailment of service .

Currently freshmen are expected to achieve major and cummulative averages of at least 1.60. Students in their sophomore year must meet minimum cummulative and major averages of 1.90. Juniors and seniors must maintain minimum cummulative and major averages of 2. 00 . If these minimum averages are not met , the student 's record is reviewed by the Academic Standards Committee which can take action to place the .student on academic probation or determine the student to be academically ineligible . A student on academic probation is usuall y given a limited course load and / or ma y t>e prohibited from taking 1>arc in extracurricular activities. He is given one semester to improve his averages and , if he does not, he is declared academically ineligible . Academic ineligibility is a nice way of saying failure and dismissal from the college . January 6, the Tuesday before classes started this semester-; the committee reviewed the records of approximately 300 students - 28 seniors, 22 juniors, 84 sophomores, 132 freshmen , and 66 night and special enrollment students. The results was that almost ten per cent P&E committee Cites Rules LOUIS CZACHOR The Publicity and Elections Committee of Student Government is asking for cooperation . with a matter concerning use of campus bulletin boards and poster boards. Members of the committee asked for assistance in these matters from all students, clubs, organizations , faculty , staff and administration. The guidelines for use of the bulleting boards were stated in a memo distributed to all campus clubs and organizations recently . The committee has asked that no one post any type of signs or posters on glass windows or doors. The committee is concerned that material posted on glass doors obstructs the view of people approaching the doors fom opposite sides, and thereby poses a dangerous situation. Also , it was noted that it is not the repsonsibility of the Publicity and Elections Committee to remove outdated posters . The committee is. expecting groups posting signs to remove the signs within 24 hours after the event publicized has taken place . If posters are not removed on time, the responsibile group will be confronted by the Publicity and Elections Committee. Complete denial of poster priveleges will result for any organization disregarding these rules . · of the student body was placed on academic probation. This is abour average for the college. In fact , Dr. Owen Faut, chairman of the ocmmittee , stated that over the last ten years the percentage of students on academic probation has remained about the same. Faut pointed out that one area where a lot of students run into trouble is ir, .neir major average. Many students do not realize that they must maintain a minimum average within their major as well as a minimum cummulative average. YEAR ENROLLMEN T Also , Faut noted that there is sometimes a problem in determining what constitutes a major. course . This problem arises when the requirements for a major j n one discipline include courses in other disciplines . A-s far as the actual reviewing is concerned, the committee treats · each case individually to determine what should be done. Faut noted that probation is a warning and the restriction of activities and / or reduction of a student's course load is done in order to help the student PERCENT ON PERCENT PROBATIO N .

Faut noted that last year . the faculty defeated a proposal which would have made the restriction of activities mandatory 'in cases of academic probation , so the cases have to be dealt with on an individual basis . Also , Faut commented that he has heard a lot of complaints that the resmcuons are not done ' uniformly. He stated that the committee is in the process of getting lists of participants in all activities to enable more uniform revision of students ' records. In conclusion , Faut noted that, while the percentages of students on academic probation and in academic ineligibility have remained about the same during the last ten years, the percentage of students on the Dean·' s list has nearly doubled. The percentage of students graduating with honors has also doubled .

IRHC Sock Hop Commuter Council Sees Pt-oblems In Moa,ing To Student Center JOH N FINN The exodus of the Commuter Council and eventually the Student Government from their offices in Weckesser Hall to new accommodations in the Student Union Building, has precipitated problems that demand prompt solutions. One problem : where to have the fu ture coffeeh ouses after the pinball machines from the second floor of the SUB are moved to the basement in accordance with the adm1nistrat-ion 's plans . Amy Elias, chairman of the coffeehouse com-- ,nittee-;· pointed ·otrr tharwhen ·the· pin ball machines are shut off and moved into one area of the basement during a student center fu nction, there would not be enough room for the coffeehouse crowd. Elias suggested that the coffeehouses be moved to either the second floor of the SUB Buildings or to the lobby of Stark Learning Center.

The result was that the request wasapproved by a vote of 13-2-6. Dana Shaffer pointed out that too many people abstained during the votes taken for the fund request.

Bur , the fact is t hat none of us should make the decision not to give blood witho ut first considering the reason s to give. First , the Red Cross is always in need of blood. In fan ,hortages exist many times during the year. It is important to give blood now because statistics show char fewer people are willin g to donate during the winter. Also , if you or a m ember of vour family ever need blood , you will be assured that ir will be available if you are a donor : Every year three blood drives are held on campus . Last year below average numbers of people gave blood at these drives. Let ' s not repeat that situation again this year. There are over 2300 potential donors on campus including facult y. admini stration and students. The Human Services Committee. which is helping to sponsor today ' s blood drive . is hoping -that at least 400 pints will be donated. Don ' t let chem down. There is no reason why more than 400 pints cannot be donated. Remember , by giving blood . you help th e college and the community . You ne!tltr know when you or someone close to you will need blood. The process of giving blood is not painful and it takes only one half hour to 45 minutes of your rime.

The purpose of this fund drive is to allow Willie to obtain a lawver to represent him in an appeal. w ·illie 's court appointed attorner is bemg taken away from him . so he will no longer have one to appeal his dea th sentence due to recent decisions in Arizona courts which stare.

But the activity for which she is best known is, of course , SG, to which she has been a representative for four years, and the vicepresident for two . Looking back on her years on SG , what does she think about it? According to Marla , these best thing about SG is that , " We ' re a small achoo! so we have the capability to work closely with . \ the administration. All the things we've done with the administration so far have been positive . We may not always agree , but when something needs to change, we don't back out. We get to know the administration so well , we can talk to them , but they are still friends . That is the biggest selling point of Wilkes, and it would be a pity to lose that." Marla has been involved in school activities for a long time .

She currently is working at the Financial Aid Office, Admissions and the Student Affairs Office as part of her internship'.

After talking to Dean Lampe about it , and after reading some articles on the. subject, Marla decided that this would be a good area for her to be involved in since, "I like working with , college • students. '' This is not a comment to be taken lightly, because Marla has demonstrated how much she enjoys -working with college students . Since she has been at Wilkes, she has organized ahd -run many d ifferent students activities which have brought her in contact with many different students . For instance , she organized the dinner theatre earlier this year, was social committee ch'airman for a time , and has served as advisor to the freshman class for two years.

Marla seems to know how to handie other relationships well, too . According to her, this is the result of a little self-confidence. " If you have confidence in yourself, you can do what you want for yourself, you can and be yourself." During her years at Wilkes, Marla has certainly done many of the things· she wanted to. But one thing she hasn ' t had a chance to try is skiing . Why nor) " I don ' t know. I'd certainly like to try , but if ever I go skiing, one thing I won ' t do is disconnect the lift as Debbie Vogt did last Saturday, " she added, grinning . Marla has been able to " be herself " for a loi:ig time . However, she does not consider herself a nonconformist, but " I don't want to conform to something just because everyone else is doing it. '' Noncomformity is one quality she would like to keep. Another is her sense of humor. She is known to possess a quick wit . For instance , when asked how she got to Wilb after high school (a poorly phrased question) she replied , " By car." When asked what she wanted to be when she graduated , she quipped, ''Tall .'' Are there any qualities she would like to·change? "I wish I were more laid-back, that I weren ' t so hyper all the time. Sometimes I wish I could just forget everything and do things just for m yself. ' ' For Marla it may be somewhat difficult to relax. Her energy and enthusiasm seem to prevent her from doing that . She says , 'Tm like a little kid - I get excited over little things .' ' But her enthusiam is conveyed to other people , and somtimes it is contagious . Through her position on SG , she has made her enthusiam felt throughout Wilkes. Hopefully from a position as the dean of the college, she will continue. to spark energy into those who know her . r-Ccnapus Commentary----, I A Time To Forgive and Forget by Anthony D. Sibiya The 52 American captives of Iran have finally been returned , a major crisis has been resolved, and now it is time for forgiving and forgetting. It is a time for forgiving and forgetting because vengeance has , in situations of this nature , never achieved anything but fanning the flames of animosity between nations. Granted , the American public is angry at the humiliation of the U .S. by Iran . This is understandable, for we are all taught that nationalism is a virtue next to godliness. Granted, Iran's taking of hostages was in violation of international law , but then again international law, as the people of smaller and less powerful na tions have painfully learned , is not always impartial. Nor is it always observed by even those nations who have always so loudly professed to be law-abiding. Granted too, the holding in captivity of 52, or any number of, foreign diplomats by any country may be morally wrong , but revolution precipitated precisely by political immorality tends to view morality through the eyes of revolution and its aims . Perhaps it is difficult for any person who has never observed the pas, si;;ns of revolutionaries and the tu rmoil of violent revolutions , who has never seen a regime steeped in corruption and kept in power by vicious repression, torture , murder and naked brutality, who has never observeci or felt the bitterness such regimes bring upon themselves by these acts to understand revolution, its morality and the thinking of revolutionaries . There can be no doubt, except of course by those who perfer to bury their heads in the sand , that the regime of Mohhamed Reza Pahlavi; the son-of an army sergeant who was put in power after the overthrow of a legal and elected government and subsequently proclaimed himself to be royalty , was a corrupt , vicious and immoral one. Nor can there be any doubt amongst the objective that Iran 's revolution was totally justified . What is contestable is whether or not those who succeeded in bringing about the revolution afterwards engaged in too much bloodshed, displayed too much zeal in eliminating the vestiges of a fallen regime , and vented too much hate on tho!ie who had been seen :,s collaborators in the sad regime of the Shah. 'The answers tA these depends on the objectivity of those who will seek to answer them , on understanding the political and other forces which shape revolution , and on being able to link history with politics and come out with a clear' grasp of the events which led to the fall of the peacock throne. It is onl y ' among these lines that Iran 's revolution, and indeed many others around the world , can be understood . It is also in thinking along these · lines that a little bit of understanding can be lent to Iran . Finally, it is a time for forgiving and forgetting precisely because the most effective tool of vengeance employed by nations against others, war, is the ultimate act of immorality, when used in unwarranted situations and for vindictive reasons . It is immoral because the thousands of c~ualties of modern warfare and modern instruments of mass destruction are mostly innocent people - men , women and children who have neither a say in nor an understanding of the intrigues of politics . Those who declare wars are never the ones who are required to carry out those declarations , which is p':rhaps why wars have become so easy to dc;clare . The objective of the Unit,-,! States in the Iranian matter , the safe return of all 52 hostages, has i>een accomplished . Though it was a long and torturous process and Iran used the 52 to humiliate what they saw as the "world devoureer'' and "great Satan , " it is precisely because the primary objective has been arn.1mplished that it should now be a time to forget and forgive. Humiliation never killed anyone - wars do kill.

As the profesor of microbiology in the department of biology from 1963 to 1975 , Grace Kimball imparted the basics of bacteriology to many students who remember her passion for sterile techniques . A friendly yet retiring person , Professor Kimball was a special friend to a small number of people who followed her into the field of microbiology . Grace Kimball was one of the most widely read members of the faculty of Wilkes College . In her library was an extensive section of books on the history of architecture and the history of science . She was a lifetime member of the History of Science Society, as well as other scientific organizations. An accomplished pianist , _she bought a new grand piano · after her retirement from the classroom but had little time to en joy playing it before a terminal illness overtook her. Throu_gh Dr. Kimball's generosity, the piano and a fine collection . of sheet m usic, as well as most of the books on architecture and science, have been given to Wi lkes College. She has also remembere<'! Wilkes College in her will. G race Kimball was an interested birdwatcher and frequently noted unusual species of avian visitors in her yard . Becaus\: of her small stature and her field of microbiology, within the biology department, Grace was affec- tio-nately known as " our micro biologist. " Grace enjoyed that_injoke and in many ways revealed a delicate sense of humor with those -who came to know her. Grace Kim ball's years of se rvice, as unheralded as they may have been, were part of the large r ongoi ng and excellent en, tity which has been Wilkes College. We should all be aware of the contribu tions made by Grace and many others through the years. Requiescat in peace , Grace Kimball. Professor Emeritus Charles B.

The second week of fastpaced competition brought out the best in no less than 40 of the college's best bowlers. This attendance figure nearly doubled the 23 of the first week. This semester has brought about many changes to the league hierarchy. The league is now headed by Tom Maguire ; the treasurer's duties are being executed by the newly appointed Jim Moran. These new officers have brought a good base from which the league will operate for years to come. The pins flew high and hard this past Friday, as many high scores ~ BOWLING LEAGUE were tallied.

Wilkes jumped off co a commanding 18-0 lead as they won their first five weight classes before Joe Burmingham dropped a cough 10-9 decision . According to Coach Reese, "Joe did a great job and has nothing co be ashamed about as he lost to a very fine wrestler.' ' Prior co the Wilkes contest, Temple had a fine 7-2 slate, but it . ap peared the Owls took the Colonels coo lightly and were shocked in the early going. Temple's previous two losses came co nationally-ranked .Missouri (23-15) , a9d to Penn State(23- l 7). Coach Reese feels. the underclassmen are starting to come along and he attributes this co the . rigorous schedule the Colonels en- countered early in the season . "Things are going the way we hoped they would at this point , and there is no reason we cannot win all of our remaining matches as long as we do not encounter any injuries ,'' Reese said. A major factor in the Colonels' improvement of late 1s 190pounder Pete Creamer who has - amassed an outstandfog 10-1 record against som e of the finest wrestlers in the cotmtry. Pete 's only defeat came at the han ds of Nebraska's Bill Scherr, 13-5. According co Coach Reese , '' Pete is not as gifted as many wrestlers are , but he works . as hard as anyone and I'm glad co see him gee some recognition because he has been a ~ea4 asset co us this year.." Against Rutgers last Saturday, Pete defeated Kevin Scialabba, who placed second in the ·· National Prep School Champion ships in his senior year. This · coming Tues. day, Wilkes will put their winning streak on the line when they travel to State College to take on Penn State .

After seeing the Wilkes basketball team fall co arch mat ::,cranco n University i~ a crucial MAC battle this past Saturday , one ca n o nl y reac t w1th_ disbelief as to how a team could lose a hard fought ga me after leading by 9 points with 3: 47 remaining to play. Man y Wilkes basketball fans can remember that this is not the first time the Colon.els los t a cruci_al game after almost '' blowing out '' their opponent . I am speaking speofically of the first Wilkes-King 's game in earl y December. In this game , Wilkes was leading Kings by 11 points on several occasions. but failed to put them away . This saw the lead evaporate o nly co lose th e g:.me by 3 points . Many people feel Wilkes basketball teams do not have the winning attitude, ~nd ''_choke_'' in the big games . I must say th at I disag ree strongly w1th this feeling , and I also know how disheartening it is to be labeled a " choker." I played for Wilkes the past two years and I know th<'. players want to win more than anything in the world . They also work very hard in practice every day to achieve a winning tradition . I ca n honestly say (and I am not alone) , that the two losses referred co a bove should not be classified as a "c hoke " by the players. Rather , th e blame for those two losses should be attributed co the slow-down tactics used late in the game by th_e Colonels . I realize it is very easy co second guess a coach , and It 1s not nght co be a " Monday morning quarterback." but the way in which we lost co Kings and Scranton had a definite putern . 1n both games , Wilkes played excellent ball and most pro babl y pla yed well enough co win. This past Satu rd ay against Scranton . th e tea m played great for almost 36 minutes, but the slow-down offense was again instituted and the Colorrels failed co get a ' ' W . ' ' The reason Wilkes played so well most of the game against Scranton is because they were given an excellent game p lan by Coac h Righter. a,nd they executed it almost co pedection. Our team has the personnel this year co fast break our opponents co death , but when we start co slow the ball down we get out of the game pattern that works best for us. On Saturday , with 3: 47 co go . any knowledgeable basketball fan could see the momentum switch over co the S~ranton side, after Wilkes had the momentum for the entire game . ·If Wilkes JUSt conunued co play their game on Saturday , and in earlv December against Kings , they would be sitting awp the MAC North with a fine 5-l record. lnste;id, Coach Righter is trying coo hard and his overcoaching is the maj•Jr rea~on why Wilkes is 3-.3 and in third place in .1 the MAC behind both Kings .and Scranton. This ye .. r 's·team 1'9s excek11t talent. and a great attitude - two of the mos_t necessary ingredients r-:1 achieve superiority as opposed co med10cmy. At this point ih time Wilkes has a mediocre record in the MAC , but if Coach 1ighter wc, ., rJ continue his game plan and stick co it through the game the team could very well find themselves co be superior to their opponents in the MAC by seasons end. �Page 12, The Beacon, January :iu. 1!181 . Sports Righter Puzzled After Loss•················•··-·••····•·••·•••··• ···•···•·••··••·•· ·······• ••••·•••······· Royals Beat Colonels In Final Minutes by Bob Buchsbaum Coach Ron Righ ter sat in his office , dying of a cold and wondering what would happen the nex day when his team would face Scranton University in a c;.Iassic Middle Atlantic Conference duel . Wilkes had come a long way from its 5-1 8 record three years ago. They have tasted victory and are very familiar with the agony of defeat. This past Saturday it all came down to one game; this was when everybody would find out what kind of team the Colo nels really are . Evrrything in th past was forgotten , including Wilkes· 9-4 I overall record against Scr,,.nton in a rivalry that has lasted since 1946. When the blue and gold began this year by winning its first two conference games it looked as though 1980 would provide Wilkes with a ticket to the MAC playoffs . Then on Dec. 11 disaster struck and Wilkes saw a comfortable JO point lead turn into a 3 poindoss to crosstown rival King 's College . The Colonels were in shock over its recent loss to King 's and two days later they received another srnck-ing blow . Wilkes traveled to New Jersey to take on a last place FDU Madison sq uad in a "shoe box " type gym. FDU Madison played way over their head in handing Wilkes its second straight loss. Coach Righter said after the game that it was like playing UCLA at the Paulley Pavillion . , The winter break came along and Wilkes had a lot of time to think about the second half ahead of them . Many players worked hard over the break to prepare themselves for the 198 1 home stretch ; some worked too hard . Freshman starter Rick Sheaffer broke his ankle while working out nearhis home in New Britain . Pa . and Wilkes was short one excellent players. Coach Righter received one piece of good news before the 1981 home opener against Alvernia Co llege. Pat McCue was back in uniform , ready to play after a serious ankle injury kept him OJJt_ pf action for four games . On Jan . 14. during the WilkesAlvernia game se nidr Mike McCarrie did something onl y JO Wilkes basketball stars had accomplished before him . McCarrie became , a member of the 1000 point club by scoring 16 points in the first half against Alxernia Co llege . The 6'5'' guard needed on ly 12 , but he was dealy from the outside on a night which he and his parents will never forget. Wilkes won the game and ignited a fourgame winning streak which made teams in tht MAC cake notice . The first victim was Misericordia and the victory was not an easy one for Coach Righter and company. Madden For Two l Misery invaded the Wilkes gym with fire in its eyes and took a surprising 29-27 lead into half time. Mike McCarrie and Paul Scaliti combined to score 44 points to finally put out Mise ricordia ' s fire and give Wilkes a 62-56 victo ry.

Such is the case with Pete Creamer. this week's " Athlete of the Week " by virtue of a superior decision lase Saturday ·over Temple University ' s Rick Lavato , a former New Jersey state champion . But there's more to the story. According to Coach Reese. " Pete 's biggest asset is chat he works hard ... the key to success in college wrestling.

SG President Joe Galli dropped the bombshell , which rhe organization had been expecting since they received word that Commuter Council was being forced to move their office out of Weckesser Hall. The bombshell - Student Government will be the next to go, and the explosion resulted in a dynamic discussion on the pat of all the attending representatives. The general opinion was that SG doesn't want to move . Student Government has enjoyed the conve. nience of having an office in the same building as the adminlrtrative offices for a very long time , and the prospect of being removed from' the administrative atmosphere is something that the members of SG found upsetting. CC President Bill Miller announced that both the CC and SG offices will probably be moved tothe Student Center. Also , he added that the student deans' offices will eventually be moved to the third floor of the Student Center. the offices in W eckesser Hall used for these purposes will then be used for other administrative offices. Galli said , "I'll be damned if we're going to move" and many of the representatives voiced their suppon of their president. Galli also said , "I met with (president) Capin today (Monday) . I talked to him until I was blue in the face .' ' Galli added that Capin 's response was , " We ' II see how it works out. '' After it was noted that SG struck out in stopping the changes in the withdrawal policy, and was unsuccessful in g-:tting the Stark Regulations changed , Tom Farley declared that it was time for SG to stand up and say no. . After the meeting, interested members of Student Government met in a closed door session to plan what action they would take. (See related stroy for comments by CC, IRHC and SG presidents.) • Under Fund Requests, Joe Knox, representing COPUS, made a request for $367 .52 to enable three students at attend the first annual meeting of the National COPUS to be held in Washington from February 5-6. / ..,.,.. 1i'ot · /Platters ( Dinners Salads \, Fil Committee Chairperson Elaine Kerchusky announced that the movie , " The Champ," will be shown tomorrow, Jan . 23 at 7 p .m . and 9:15 p .m . in the CPA. At the IRHC meeting, President Janine Tucker expressed her enthusiasm for the new semester. She also announced various changes for students on campus , among them are the water shonage situation and the new meal card system . Another topic reported was that Student Leaders Upset At Weckesser Ouster The officers and members of Student Government and Commuter Council learned recently that the college is planning to move their organizations' offices out of Weckesser Hall and into the Student Center. The student leaders have expressed their dissatisfaction with the administration's decision. The presidents of the three campus governing organizations, CC, SG and IRHC, commented on the situation. CC President Bill Miller: "How I feel , and many of the people -on_ Commuter Counil feel is that Commuter Council offers the students of Wilkes College many services which at other school are handled by the administration . Our distribution of parking stickers, our sale of Park and Lock tickets and bus tokens, and our newly-created housing referral service are just some of the example of the functions we perform . "Since Commuter Council has been in existence we have always been in Weckesser Hall and I feel , as a vital part of student affairs, we should remain there . " Besides just these services we have been able to help the Student Affairs Office and other administrative offices by providing · student input . We regret that in the future such input may be reduced. ' 'Commuter Council is an im portant part of the Wilkes famil y, representing over 1,000 students and the philosophy of students and · administration working together is a tradition that should not be lost. '' SG President Joe Galli : " I think that it is a big mistake . I'm kind f upset with the Wilkes College family tradition being partially removed by the fact that the student governing offices are being moved out of Weckesser. -----' Tucker Waxes Enthusia-tic "At present it may not seem that drastic of a move, but in the future I feel that it will result in a lack of communication with the studet body and the administration . ' ' IRHC President Janine Tucker: ' 'The three organizations all work as one . Student Governme.nt is a sister organization (to IRHC) and Commuter Council is too. I hate to see them moved. The students have been understanding up to this point, JI.Ild I feel the administration has tried to understand , but in actuality, they have not. " There has been a lack of communication from the adminstration to the students ancl I feel that the move will be detrimental to the Students as a whole . '' The students at this college have strong faith in the college , and what has occurred in the past year and one half has weakened our faith in the school. '' the new meal card system will be in effect Monday, January 26 . Students' ID cards will be used instead of the meal cards in order to prevent unauthorized persons from eating meals that board students pay for. The ID cards are presently being validated for this purpose . In further reports, Food Committee Chairman Bruce Williams announced a committee meeting today at 3 p.m in the east side of the cafeteria . All students with complaints or suggestions for the dining service are urged to attend . New dinner hours for Sunday only were made . They were changed to 4:30 p.m. until 6: 15 p.m .

Equal Opportunity Employer M / F Monday to Saturday: 11 to 11 PHONE 825-0938 $2.99 �Page 4, The Beacon, January 23, 1981 The Goal: Conservation " Waste not, want not," often heard and rarely heeded is becoming more important than ever, especiaHy during the present water shortage facing the Wyoming Valley. Waste can take several forms . Washing only several pieces of clothing in a machine full of water, leaky faucets and using two shower-heads for the "double dose" when one will do, are just a few examples of abusing the privilege of a generous supply of running water. Coupled with the small rainfall, waste inevitably leads to a shortage of water. In response to this shortage , the gas and water company has requested voluntary conservation. Wilkes alone must decrease its .water consumption by · 25 % . How can this4be done? Cooperation by everyone is the key. In order to insure the continued use of water for necessary functions , we must pull together to ration and conserve water in any necessary functions and try to eliminate unnecessary uses. The conservation requests made by . the administration are not unreasonable and students should try to cooperate fully. The more the college can save by eliminating waste and overuse in dorms, classrooms , lavatories, etc., the better. For in.stance, don't let water run unnecessarily. A faucet that leaks a drop of water a second ends up wasting 200 gallons of water a month . If it's hot water that 's being wasted , that means energy for heating that's also going down the drain , along with your tuition debts to pay for that wasted energy. Everyone knows best where waste is most likely to occur in their own sphere of influence. Some conservations suggestions might be to shower with a friend , leave the sinks attached to the walls of the dormitory bathroom , mix your whiskey with soda instead of water, take your beverages straight up instead of on the rocks and treat you r water fixtures like a cadillac. No matter how ridiculous some of these ideas may be , they are ways of cutting down water usage. Look around your dormitory. laboratory, or in wherever water is used . and see how it can be reduced or eliminated. If we don't make an honest attempt at conserving water and cutting consumption by 2 5?, we can all find ourselves high and dry. Waste not now and you' II want not later. ·-----Notice ----Patti Sparlow is continurng as Editor-in-Chief of the Beacon.

She had no major claims to fame - she won no prizes, no awards for community service. Yet Mildred Traxler, 65, was an important person . Local papers reported her death mainly because it came about in an unusual way. Mildred Traxler committed suicide, Tuesday, Jan. 13, by jumping from a 10th floor window of the Hotel Sterling. Bill Miller was walking past the Hotel Sterling the afternoon of the 13th. He saw what he first thought was "a large chunk of ice" falling from the hotel . For a moment he though that a part of the hotel was falling down . Then he saw this "thing" land atop a car. He was shocked when he realized that the "ice" was a human body .

The songs you hear coming over the airwaves are songs you don't usually hear on a commercial radio station. On these two nights, you will hear Ernie College's unique "Import/ export" progressive rock show . However, it is not only the music which is unique where Ernie is concerned, because Ernie, .himself, is unique . Ernie, the man operating the boards and turntables, is legally blind . Normal vision on the vision measurement scale is 20/20. What a person with normal vision sees at 400 feet, Ernie sees at 20 feet . Ernie was born with congenial glaucoma and, at the age of three , it started to affect his right eye . Now, things that are small or far away present the most problems. Ernie has been associated with WCLH since February 1979 when he did his first show. A 26-year-old native of Philadelphia, Ernie left his management level job at GAF Photo service to go back to school. "I wanted to go to a small school out of the Philadelphia area and Wilkes seemed like a good place to come to," Ernie commented . When friends first spoke to him about joining the radio station, Ernie was at first a little apprehensive. But after being coaxed, he joine~ because he felt he c·o uld do '' just as good a job as others on the station. '' There were some problems in joining. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) did not want to let him go on the air. The station engineer, Joe Glynn, wrote the FCC a letter stating that he had personally trained Ernie and that he was ready to go on the air. · In addition to this training, Ernie would often watch other people doing their shows. He would also help them with little things and thus gained experience in cueing up records and operating the board . Ernie operated the board himself and fills out his own program logs . He had no log errors since October 1979. Ernie does need someone to read the news and take the meter readings, though. And it did take Ernie longer to learn to operate the production room than the studio . But he feels this ability is an art, and this feeling may have contributed to his being named Production Manager for the 1980-81 school year. Director of Broadcasting Operations D . V. Bradford Kinney has this to say about Ernie's abilities, "Ernie functions in his job as well , if not better, than people in the past have done . ' ' For a person who is legally blind , being a DJ must be hard work . But not for Ernie . "The work is easy .

Numerous scandals plagued the athletic programs of major and minor institutions throughout the entiore country. The sports world witnessed numerous wrongdoings exposed in areas of recruitment, academics, and eligibility. Seasons were forfeited , players were denied graduation, and numerous coaches resigned as a result of various investigations of athletic curriculums. After all of theseoccurrences, one has to wonder about the direction which athletic programs are headed. Originally looked upon as an extracurricular activity for athletically inclined students, sports are now becoming the heart and soul of many institutions of higher learning. Who would have ever thought that academics would become the extracurricular activity at a college or university. Although this seems to be a play on words, in all reality, this is what is taking place Because of the very difficult financial situations of many institutions, athletics are a very important part of the school's continued existence. With most collegeS"and universities fighting to keep from going under, the process of educating the public has turned into a big business. One of the ways numerous schools have found to increase the economic backing of the institution is through the "sale" of athletic contests or programs. By increasing the quality of athletic performance on the court or field, institutions have found that economic stability can be attained. Although this process is perfectly legitimate when the athletes involved are in good academic standing at the school, it does become a corrupt use of mankind when it becomes an end in itself. · The athletic importance of an individual often times has greater weight than academic excellence in many colleges and universities. Or at least it used to! With the numerous scandals exposed in many of our large institutions, school officials are now becoming more cautious in their establishment of priorities. Although they are still willing to ease the pressures of a higher educations on their star athletes, they are less willing to risk public embarrassment through investigations and exposure of blatant academic endowments. In the past, coaches were willing to do anything to get a star athlete who would help out their particular program. Testimonies from former athletes who did not make it into the pros in their respective sports exposed the unethical recruiting policies of many coaches adn institutions. But in recent months, especially after the federal investigation of many athletic programs, coaches have changed their tone as far as the importance of athletes is concerned. In the November 30th issue of the NCAA News, Roman Gabrial. head football coach at California Polytechnic State University, stated that, "In a lot of situations, I think kids are used for their four years of athletics and then turned loose with nothing to show for it. Very, very few can go on to play pro ball. When our players leave here·, we want them to be wellbalanced, disciplined individuals. We want to teach them how to get along well in society." Thi~ _is an _attitude that many coaches are now adopting for their recru1tmg policy. Whether or not it is just another ploy used by coaches to bring into their program a star athlete of their choice remains to be seen. One thing is for certain, an attitude which stresses the academic as well as athletic excellence of a student is an attitude of success. Although our area is lucky enough to be free of such athletic scandals and wrongdings, pressure is exerted upon institutions when their academic standards are too strenuous for some of'the athletes (and non-athletes ) to maintain. . It should be noted that athletes are in a very rough position, with dedication and achievement goals in two different areas. But it must be stressed that the academic standards of an institution cannot be lessened to enter!ai~ ~ few. The attainment of a "quality" education is not only up to each md1V1du~I to achieve, but it is also up to the institution to provide. Proper academic standards are a part of the institutions responsibilities for a "quality" education. · Even though the pressures of a higher education are great upon the student, student-athlete, and institution respectively, there is a point where harmony among all concerned is produced. How silly it would be for a col- · lege or university to exist solely for the purpose of extra-curricular activities, whether they be athletics, debate, stude!)t government. or whatever. Only by working together, instead of against each other can everyone come out a winner in the end. For without the youth of the world. there would be no institutions of higher learning. But without these institutions, there would be no world. Think about it! Sports Calendar Jan. 22 W . basketballAlbright (H) Jan. 24 WrestlingTemple (A) Basket ballScrantonSwarthmore (H) W .

For the second time in the Union's history, Dr. Bradford L. Kinney split his squads and sent one group to compete at the Towson State University H.L. Mencken Forens~ Tournament and the other squad to Southern Connectic State College's "Great Eastern No. 2" tournament. At the Southern Connectic tourney, eight Wilkes students competed for honors, with Linda Esrov carrying the team to victory with her rhetorical skills. Esrov won a finalists trophy in the area of Persuasive Discourse. Her competition consisted of speaking against 17 colleges and universities representing some of the best forensic schools in the nation, incuding the 1980 U.S. National Champions, George Mason University. LaSalle, St. Joseph and Southern Connectic rounded out the competition. Esrov received a perfect score in one of her rounds. The other half of "Kinney's Kids" traveled to the Maryland university of Towson, Baltimore, Marylan · where more than nineteen instit.. tions gathered for three days of competition. Jon Pliskin won a 4th place trophy for Extemporaneous Speaking and a 3rd place trophy for the newest forensic event, Impromptu-Extemporaneous Orations. Darlene Schaffer was also victvrious for the Debate Union . Schaffer captured the first place trophy in the field of Salesmanship Oratory. She also took an additional award when she won 3rd place in an area of Speech-Forensic competition - Rhetorical Criticism. This event consists of taking a speech and analyzing · it with a set methodology to determine if the discourse was effective or not. and to apply the method in an oral fashion as a form of critical analysis. Schaffer analyzed Congressman Guy Vander Jagt's 1980 Republican Key Note Address.

All of the awards were won while attending only five tournaments. The team currently is making plans for their first tournament of 1981 which will be in Vermont. Traffic C o u n c i l - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Two Com p Iain f S Heard Got a parkiug ticket you really don't think you deserve? Have a complaint about parking on campus? If so, there's a group that is willing to listen and possibly help. The group is the Traffic Council and they serve as a grievance committee that handles all on-campus traffic complaints. The council is made up of two people representing administration and faculty, and several students. So far this year, the council has heard t\yo complaints about traffic problems. The first complaint centers on people who park in areas where they shouldn't and leave a note at- · tached to their car stating that the car has broken down. According to Frank Daniele, "In this specific case the girl's car was broken down and that she had receipts nofing the condition of the car. However, there are too many people that think by writing a note and sticking it on their car they will not get a ticket. That's not true. If a person's car breaks down he should contact the personnel office and inform them of the broken down car. The person should then make an effort to move the broken down car. If the car is ticketed, then the person should get in contact with the traffic council." Daniele serves as the IRHC Work Study Program Offered On _C ampus---- 775 Students Currently Participating Are you a blue or a white? No, this is not a personal question asking what your favorite color of your best-looking t-shirt is. This question pertains to a very important way to obtain money. Wilkes College participates in the College Work-Study Program in conjunction with the federal government. This program allows students to work part-time while attending classes. It offers students valuable work experience while attaining the necessary academics needed to graduate in their own particular major fields. According to Richard Raspen, Financial Aid Director, "There are roughly 775 students particiapting in this program." Raspen noted that there are basically two types of work-study - blue and white card. The only difference between the blue and white card programs is that the college pays for all of the blue card wages, while the federal government pays for 80 percent of the white card students' incpme. Wilkes College pays the remaining money." · In terms of who can be eligible for the work-study program, Raspen pointed out that any student can work on blue card, but only students that show financial need can work on the white card. . As for the steps involved in getting in the program, Raspen said it is quite simple. "First the student would go to the Financial Aid Office, located in the lower level ·of Weckesser Hall, and request that his eligibility be checked. Once this is done, the student (if qualified) can be placed in the work-study program _and can work in any department provided that the department needs help." Students are allowed to work up to 20 hours during regular class periods. During breaks and in the summer, the student is allowed to work up to 40 hours per week. In the past,. students were paid 85 percent of the minimum wage, but as of Oct. 1, 1980, students were ~iven a Student Government . Members Carol At Valley Crest: No Office Hours During Finals The last Student Government meeting of the semester was held Monday night. It was only about 20 minutes long, making it the shortest meeting of the semester. After the meeting, the representatives and officers boarded a bus rand headed to Luzerne County's Valley Crest Nursing Home where they entertained the residents by singing Christmas carols. Galli announced that the committee dealing with student advising will make specific recommendations to the department chairmen and faculty. Details on those recommendations will be diSC\!SSed at the first meeting next semester. The SG president noted that the administration is currently prep'aring a statement on the Stark regulations. SG should know what the administration plans to do about that situation by the end of this week. Galli said that there will be no student government office hours during exams. Rob Doty noted that people are not taking down signs they have posted. He also warned not to post signs on glass surfaces. Joe Galli added that he has ripped down several signs from glass doors· and noted that faculty are expected to · abide the same rules. Louis Czachor raise up to the minimum wage of $3.10 per hour. Students on the work-study pogram will also be glad to hear ·that starting Jan. 1, 1981, the minimum W;lge will increase to $3.25 an hour. Students interested in more information about the work-study program or other financial aid programs should contact the Financial Aid Office at ext. 420 anytime before4:30p.m. Darlene Schaffer Sigma XI Inducts Two Associate Members The Wilkes Chapter of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society, recently held its first initiation ceremony at which two 1980 graduates, Michael Otruba and David Sapak, were inducted into the organization as associate members. Sigma Xi is a national honor · society whose principal purpose is to promote research in engineering, physical and certain social sciences. Students who show outstanding potential . .in undergraduate research are eligibile for associate membership, if after nomination by their major departments, they meet associate membership criteria. Otruba was recognized for his undergraduate research on the bioelectric membrane potentials in frog muscles. Otruba did his research under the direction of Dr. Wilbur Hayes, a member of the biology faculty. Sapak was ·a member of ·an engineering research team, which under the direction of Dr. Umid Nejib and Dr. John Orehotsky, engineering faculty, investigated solar cells. representative and Maruita Gries serves as the CC representative. The second situation the council had to look into was one that centered parking stickers. "Students should not assume that if they have a permit for one semester that that particular IRHC student will also automatically have a parking permit for the -next semester. Resident students are required to re-apply every semester for parking stickers. Unless students re-apply they will not get another parking sticker." Daniele noted that the deadline for the reapplication of stickers is before the · fall semester ends. Students wishing to · obtain applications should contact the IRHC office, the housing office or their RA. Once applications have been filled out, students should return them to the IRHC office. · Maurita Gries noted that the procedure is somewhat different for commuters. Commuting students do not need to re-apply. If, there are any available parking spaces open for the Spring semester, all forms will be ·re-evaluated for those openings. Commuter Council will make the decision and students will be informed by mail whether or not they will receive a parking permit. Daniele notes that IRHC parking will be posted the Friday we come back to Wilkes for the Spring semester. If a problem should arise over parking, remember there is a group that may be able to help: Traffic Council hears all complaints and then goes on record with their decision. Students may also like to know that they can also appeal the decision of the traffic control and go to a higher body, Student Affairs.

If their efforts are fruitful, SG will be able to · boast of great accomplishments. However, much work remains to be done if SG is to reach its goals. Student Government has done much work this semester, and its leaders are • responsible for initiating this work. Immeidately after bis election to the office of SG President, Joe Galli took on the responsibilities of the office and began working toward achieving his many goals for this year. After the election of the other officers, Marla Brodsky, VicePresident; Al Wirkman, Corresponding Secretary; Elaine Kerchusky, Recording Secretary; ":ind Tom Rooney, Treasurer, and the appointment of Ana Nunez as Parliamentarian, the student leaders spent a long and busy summer preparing for what would hopefully be a year of growth and · accomplishment. The year began with hope_as SG began working in many areas, but as the semester continued, work on SG's projects slowed. This is probably partically due to the large amount of "red tape" which is encountered whenever anyone tries to get anything done at this college. Hopefully, things will get moving , soon and SG will be able to finish most of its projects before the end of the academic year. preparing his treasury report. It would be nice to get a written treasury report each week, complete with a listing of expenditures since the previous week. It wouldn't take up much space and could be added to the end of the secretary's minutes i{ necessary. SG should give no financial excuses for not having a written report. After all, they have enough money to make Xerox copies of their agendas. So that's where our $50 activity fee went. Parliamentarian . Ana Nunez is probably one of the most knowledgeable people on SG when it comes to leadership and relations with others. Nunez becomes an expert at everything she does and her presence lends an air of excellence to SG. Perhaps she should use her authority as parliamentarian a little more to make sure that everything is done by the books. Committees The Academic Committee, chaired by Ana Nunez and Dana Schaffer, has kept SG aware of the workings of the Academic Standards Committee, and has sought the body's advice on issues of importance to the student body and the quality of education at the college. The committee has looked into student rights and led SG in adopting a statement on student rights. Recently the committee has begun an investigation of the college bookstore.

It does seem that, so far, all of the representatives have been doing their jobs, but some could offer more at the meetings. Probably Student Government's greatest failure this semester has · been its inability to work with the Beacon to keep the college informed. Hopefully the break between semesters will give birth to a spirit of cooperation. Working within the limits of publication deadlines and time requirements for story assignments, SG can use the press to its a.dvantage and therefore help the students of the college and student government itself. When that happens, if it ever happens - it never did in the past - then Student Government will truly be a successful student governing organization.

It can work better if there is a joint ef· fort ." Now before you believe that I'm out to put a knife in IHRC's back and let CC just walk away feeling that all their problems center on IRHC, just wait. CC is not an angel by any means. For the third analysis in a row, Commuter Coun• ell must be reminded of the term "off the record." Off the record is a gentleman's term that has no legal binding. If a person wishes to make a comment that he does not want the press to print, usually the term is stated BEFORE the person. makes the statements he wants off the record. Making a statement and then after it saying "that's off the record" is meaningless. Learn when to use the term correctly, please. It also seems like CC has forgot· ten about some projects that it has · already had on the books. More work is in order on the Red Cross Gate situation. Please don't give up on all commuters on the basis of the stupidity of a few. Try to sponsor another ice skating party, more bus trips and perhaps an area concert. In addition, meet with local city government officials and have your parking ideas endorsed. Your idea to work with Wilkes-Barre City Council on the parking situation is a great idea, now make it a reality. There are other minor problems that CC can work out by itself, but now for the accomplishments.

Final exams begin on Monday though it appears no one is really prepared. It seems , that the semester has flown by so very fast, allowing little time for us to complete all that we so sincerely pledged ourselves to in September. Despite the short time span, the goals, objectives and beliefs of the Beacon have not been compromised. In an atmosphere of fairness and responsibility the Beacon has succeeded in fulfilling what I believe the three purposes of a college paper are: to keep the student body informed about campus developments, to stimulate the college's intellectual climate and to provide an introductio.n to good journalistic principles for staff members. In several short months, many of our ,staff members, including myself, will leave the secure, warm cocoon called Wilkes College and • venture out into what some call the "real world." Fortunately for us, the Beacon not only provided an outlet for journalistic abilities, but also testing ground for our wings ; for if we su<:ceed in soaring to new heights when we leave college, then we will know that our trials and errors here were not in vain. Additionally, while testing our wings, so to speak, the press in the "real world" of Wilkes College has fulfilled as many responsibilities as the press in any community in the country. The most important role of the press in a democratic society is to provide readers with the information they need to participate in the governance of their community. Has the Beacon succeeded in informing students about events within the Wilkes community? Considering our limited budget and inexperienced staff, I think our reporting has been re&ponsible, truthful and coherent. There are problems, of course. No student organization or club on campus believes we give them enough coverage. Many times this is very discouraging because it seems that they would rather we provide them with unlimited free space and let them propagandize themselves to death. Of course this alternative would save our staff a lot of work, but it is not what a college paper is supposed to do. '" Naturally we promote campus events, but the Beacon is not and should not be allowed to become a mouthpiece for the public relations directu , v i each organization. If the Beacon is to be an effective training ground for future journalists, then there is no place for the blind accep- tance of blatant propaganda. Sometimes, unfortunately, the imbalance of our coverage reflects daily realities more than journalistic principles. The reasons range from a lack of interested students ( a seemingly rampant disease on this campus), to the "real world" of exams and papers from which editors are not exempt. However, these reasons have not prevented us from still · maintaining our standards in fair coverage. The strengths of the Beacon , however, are more important than the weaknesses, for it is on the strengths that we build to become even stronger in order to help correct our weaknesses. We cover issues that affect student life · at Wilkes including such areas as the possibility of a new dorm, the historical significance of college buildings (or lack there of), changes in administrative responsibilities and the consequences of campus vandalism. · While in the "real world" I am sure that I will look back on my days as Editor-in-Chief with a feeling of satisfaction despite many setbacks, obstacles, frustrating roadblocks and insufficient sleep. I know it is one of the most - if not the most important opportunity and responsibility I have ever had. I think the Beacon has done an admirable job of informing its community. Its services to the college community are those which would make any "real" newspaper proud. These ac. complishments make me very proud to have been associated with the Beacon for the past two and one half years. Finally, please allow me to indulge in a little well deserved thanks to some very special people. First, to the staff - your efforts will not be forgotten. Also, thanks to Dr. Schulmaa for all of her time and energy, especially in some difficult situations. Thanks to Mr. Capih and the Trustees for their time at a re· cent meeting. To the professor who understands and who promises to kick my butt if I need it - thanks, you made it a little easier. A special thanks to my family and friends, especially M.O. and Ziggy for listening to the ravings of an editor. La~t but not least, thanks to all the expert knife-throwers who made it possible for our staff members to activate every metal detector from WilkesBarre to San Francisco.

There is life at Wilkes College. The Wilkesian, dementedus banalis, has numerous habitats including do the second floor of the Student Center and Stark lobby. The life style of beast is highly organized into a series of events that would be consi simple by Cro-Magnon man. The group is selected by an arduousproc mysteriously apathetic standards.

And because were presented in this way, the of the people here was left to decision, and the characters play were subject to ridicule. graves, one came to realize the meaning of the word "disaster. " But what perhaps had the most impact was not the action onstage, but the pictures that were flashed on the screens which were suspended high above the stage. On these screens were pictures of homes, streets and the dike, right before and after the flood . Seeing these pictures had a profound effect, particularly if one thought of the familiar places one now sees, and realized that at one time, they were under water and mud. The story told in the play was not a •difficult one to follow . Basically, it was about a family (-supposedly typical of the Valley) who experienced the tragedy of a death because of the flood . The father, played by Bill Keba, owned a tavern and enjoyed a comfortable home life with his wife, played by Betsy Keller. They have two children, Chip, played by Chris Lonstrup, and Beth, played by Diane Hartdagen. Beth is engaged to Bobbie DeGalio, portrayed by Phil Ross. On the day of the flood, Mike and Bobby are busy setting up for Bobby's bachelor party. Chip goes off to play in his treehouse near th~ river, and when the flood warnings are announced, Beth goes to look for her·borther. She subsequently drowns in the flood. Throughout the play, a narrator, Tom Butcher, sets the scene and supplies the audience with details about what ·is happening or what will happen. He also attempts to warn the characters about the im- pending flood, asking them to help him pile the sandbags on the dike, but they will not listen to him, not allowing themselves to believe there will be a flood. When the danger of the flood becomes areality, and everyone is busy piling the sandbags high on the dike, the narrator refuses to help anymore, explaining that this is all history and he must record it. There also two ghosts in the play. One is that of J1mes Wilkes, played by Fred Krome. Wilkes complains of having had his tombstone stolen from his grave, in which he had been buried many years ago. At various times during the play, Wilkes storms on stage, shouting · wildly for his tombstone to be returned. It is a little difficult to define the function of this ghost in the play. Eventually, he, or rather, his body, ends up in a woman's hall closet as one of the corpses that was uprooted and relocated by the water. He does provide some comic relief, even at times when such relief was unnecessary or even out of place. He probably also serves as symbol, representing the old Wilkes-Barre before the flood . At least twice he even says that maybe the · flood would. have its advantages, because the people would be able to build a better city than they had ever had before. The other ghost in the play is that of Beth after she had drowned. She appears at her own funeral, in the white gown she would have worn at her wedding. She observes her parents and friends mourning over her grave, and follows them back fo her parents' tavern. Here, everyone who had been at the funeral is given a beer, after which all the/characters seem to promptly forget they had just been at a funeral. Within minutes, everyone is polka dancing for the second time in the play. The only character who is allowed to retain some sort of sensitivity is Bobby, who leaves, because he now feels that nothing is left for him there. than to any lack of talent on the part of the actors and actresses. Of the performers, Chris Lonstrup was the most believable as the mischievous Chip. "The Flood" was significant in that it recorded, if only partially, the experience of the people of an THE CAST OF "THE FLOOD" - Frank Kren leads the cast in a song while the "ghosts" of James Wilkes and Beth Malinowski look on. The play did have its impact, and did partially accomplish its purpose - that of expressing the experience of the flood . However because of poor characteristics of the people involved, some of the impact was lost. The acting itself was not memorable, but that was due more to the quality of the script area hit by what then President Nixon called "the worst natural disaster in the history of the country." It is only unfortunate that the true emotion of the people of the Valley was so poorly represented.

Artists have long been aware of the importance that paper plays in the effect of the overall image. They have traditionally used tinted papers, unusual margins, textured papers and other variations to complement the image or text on the surface. The concern which artists have today, though not unrelated to the traditional awareness of paper as a surface, is different; it goes beyond the traditional Western use of paper. Many contemporary artists have a new involvement with paper. In some cases their definition of paper is no longer limited to a flat sheet upon which one laces images or prints with type. Instead, • they work with paper as a pliab~e, flexible medium having a variety of aesthetic qualities which can.be used also on or with other media to produce a visual statement. In some cases the artists make their own paper or collaborate with professional papermakers in order to capitalize on and control some or all of its special qualities. This exhibition is a statement about paper and its many significnt uses in the current artistic vocabulary. "Paper as Medium" is a comtemporary look at artists throughut the country who are using paper as medium in its broadest definition. In five years, the concept of paper as medium will no longer be relevant. The exhibition is a statement about paper and the many direct 'roles which it is playing in the cur. rent artistic vocabulary of expres. sion. Each artist in the exhibition comes from his perspective and often works independently of any "movement." "UNDAUNTED" - from the next Art Gallery exhibit, "Paper as Medium," is another example of the unusual works in this exhibit. The exhibit will be at the gallery from December 14 until January II. It is on loan from the Smithsonian. Within recent printmaking history there are several practices which demonstrate a growing desire to utilize paper in a new, more broadly-defined manner. The use of impressed textures and deeply-etched imagers, thn, . dimensinal prints of special created paper, multiple deckles and other techniques indicate that an interest in nontraditiona.1 uses of paper was growing in the 1950s and 1960s and logically led to the jntense activity · traditional ritual. for artists.

Another extremely important factor which has affected the use of paper as medium is the Oriental sensibility and orientation to paper. In Japan, the use of handmade paper has traditionally been more integrated into the general . aesthetics and culture. Because of its use for many functional objects, Japanese papers have long been prized for their strength, delicate appearance, subtle coloring, response to nature and translucency. The mixed media, collage or assemblage quality is something which runs throughout the exhibition, and is one of the chief attractions which working with paper has "Celebration" Auditions ·Scheduled For January _ Floods and fairies give way to singers and dancers in "Celebration," the musical by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt, which is scheduled as the next production of the Wilkes College Theatre. The musical, which portrays the battle between winter and summer, old age and youth, • cynicism and idealism, lust and love, will be presented in the CPA on February 20, 21 and 22, 1981. , Plans are already underway for the show, and Dr. Michael O'Neill, who will direct and choreograph "Celebration," has announced thatauditions for the play will take place on Wednesday and Thursday, J anuary 14 and 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the CPA. "The play's title is a good indication of the type of show 'Celebration' is," said Dr. O'Neill. "It's a celebration of theatre, and we'll be looking for people who can help us make the stage of the CPA into a two-hour musical circus." Consequently, Dr. O'Neill said that at auditions he will want anybody who might ·fit one or more of the following descriptions: singer, dancer, actor, musician, gymnast, acrobat, body-builder, juggler, magician. The musical directpr for "Celebration" is Professor Richard Chapline of the music department. "Celebration" has four principal singing roles - three male and one female - and a chorus of revelers who take part in all but two songs in the show. In addition, people interested in working backstage on "Celebra- tion" should also plan now to sign up on January 14 and 15. "The show is technically very challgening," Dr. O'Neill stated, "so we will need a number of people backstage to help with costumes, props and the set." "Celebration" is set in a contemporary city on New Year's Eve. There, at a party for the very rich, an innocent young orphan and , a wealthy, burnt-out old man named Rich battle for the favors of an ambitious young actress, Angel. Overseeing all, in i.he dual role of cynical bum and priestly narrator, is Potemkin, who invites the au0 dience to join the revelers in the ancient story and become a part of th·e inevitable cycle of life. -There will be a Freshman Class Meeting today a, 12 oo p m. in H of Stark.

Either way it is Cooperative Education, or Co-op as it is often referred to. Co-op is a process of education which formally integrates a student's academic studies with productive work experience in employing organizations. Essentially, the word "Cooperative" is used to mean a cooperative relationship between the employer and the college. Through alternating semesters of full-time study and full-time professional work experience, students enhance their academic knowledge, their personal development, their over-all vision, as well as their professional preparation. The faculty, the Co-op staff and the employers share in the ed~ational process. According to Cheryl Gibson of the Office of Cooperative Education, the program has no disadvantages, but several advantages. Besides the benefits already noted, the program allows students to "put theory into practice while giving the student a sense of accomplishment as well as financial rewards. Students are better socially adjusted and they continue to grow in their personal interest, while at the same time advancing their careers." As for the step-by-step approach to the program, Mrs. Gibson noted that interested sophomores, juniors and seniors may apply for Co-op as long as they have permission from their department head and from their faculty advisor. Students must also maintain a minimum of an overall 2.00 average. If students qualify, then they are able to apply for the program. The applications are relatively easy to fill out and are to be returned to the Co-op office upon completion. Students are then interviewed by the Cooperative Education staff as to their attitudes, qualifications and interests. Selected students are then referred to an employer who, in turn, makes the final decision. I I Since students may alternate a term of study with a term of work, two students may be assigned to the same position. _While o_ne is in school, the other 1s on the Job allowing the employer to keep the co-op position filled year-round. The Co-op staff is now accepting applications for the spring and summer semesters. Employers are presently sending requests for stu~ents to work during these ti'!le periods. Some of the potential employers are: Owens Illinois, Chamber of Comemrce, American Red Cross, Messiah Nursery School, WVIA, United Rehabilitation Services, PP&L, Times Leader and the Wyoming Historical Society. A monthly newsletter is put out by Co-op to all interested students thinking of taking Co-op. The newsletter contains a listing of potential employers. Once a student is accepted for Coop and is placed, the student will be required to turn in weekly journals measuring the student's objectives, work experience and his learning experience. Students will also have to turn in a term project which in the past have been anyt~_ing from a slide presentation to making a brochure. Students will be graded by the faculty advisor coordinator for their particular department on the regular grade system. Some of the faculty coordinators and their departments are EnglishCommunication- Dr. Bradford L. Kinney, Comemrce and FinanceMr. De Young, Political ScienceDr. Shaw and Biology-Ors. Doty and Ogren. Statistically, over 95 percent of Co-op students are compensated for their work experience. During the past summer, more than $23,000 was earned by our students, with an average income of over $1,600 . (Figures include full and part time placements). Interested students thinking of Co-op should contact the Co-op Office located at the rear of 34 south River Street on the second floor, or call 826-0489 or 824-4651, Ext. 205. Student TraineeslaipsAvcdlable_ Graduating college seniors, new graduates and graduate students are invited to apply for the "livein" Pre-Professional · Resident Advisor-Counselor Traineeships offered at the CAREER HOUSE Unit of The Devereux Foundation in Suburban Philadelphia, a multidisciplinary residential and day care treatment and rehabilitation center.

The radio program features music and job openings for co-op ~tudents. The program airs on Thrusdays at 8:30 a.m. and Saturdays at 8 a.m. on WCLH, 90.7 FM. coperation, statipg that "it is vital to the success of the program and at departmental meetings, faculty members are made further aware of the Act 101 program. Our relationship is in a state of continual improvement." She added that they also have good contact with the deans and administration. The tutoring is free, and any Act 101 participant whose grades fall below a "2.0" average is re uired to receive tutoring. The striving for an education manifests itself in ways that vary with each individual, and at Act 101 this is clear. The 120 participants range from wrestlers to a team of a mother and her two daughters. Although the program d~als largely with financially disadvantaged students, this is not always the case. Some students are parents who are returning to school for the education they missed while raising a family. Some participants are the fir:st generation of the family to attei:id college. " Sometimes, at first, parents are reluctant to allow their sons or daughters to enter the program. They feel they should be out in the 'real world' working and earning a living," remarked Ms. McGuiness, " but eventually they see the value of the program and encourage their children to join, realizing an education is an opportunity that should not be missed." · The Cultural Encounters Club, sponsored by the student government, provides the students with an opportunity to attend a cultur:ai event in the spring. Suzette Dyanick, president of the club, suggested that the group may travel to New York to see a Broadway play. To afford this goal, the club is sponsoring a number of fund-raising ac- tivites 'during the year. But the officers stressed that the participation of Act 101 members is essential. "An added incentive to join the club," Dyanick pointed out, " is that in the agreement between the student and the contract for the Basic Education Opportunity Grant, the student must join and be active in at least one club or he could lose his grant. " The officers are Sue Vespico, vice president ; Lisa Carini, secretary; Elizabeth Collins, treasurer ; and Carol Buchman, tutoring co-ordinator. Buchman is a senior psychology major working with Act 101 through a cooperative education internship. In addition to her club activities, she assists in the tutoring program and various counseling activites. The club constructed a Homecoming display and are presently making arrangements for a Christmas party. Discussing the importance of the Act 101 student participation in the club, Dyanick made an offhand remark that seem~s to sum up the theme of the program, "We can't spell success without you.''

Operation Phoenix? No, it is not a diabolical . plan to topple the present college administration. Jt is the code name for Act 101, a program which helps academically or economically under-prepared students to achieve their personal and educational goals. The five people are Wilkes Students and officers of the Cultural Encouters Club, which is an integral part of the program. Act 101 was made possibly by the Pennyslvania Higher Education Equal Opportunity Act of 1971 and its services ara free to students. The program is designed to assist students from financially disad-· vantaged families who may have low high school grades or college board scores. The program provides many valuable services to students, such as counselling and tutoring. Academic, personal, and financial counselling are available to participants in the program. Counselor Joan McGuiness commented that these and "various other services will enable our students to have a :mccessful college career." Tutoring is available to students experiencing difficulty in a specific course and the assistance is given upon request. In addition to students requesting tutorial services on their own initiative, deans, counsellors and faculty members may make referrals. The faculty is contacted periodically to evaluate Act 101 students enrolled in their courses. Ms. McGuiness is en- · thusiastic about the faculty's John Finn Book and Record Mart 11 S. Main St • .

COPUS· Wilkes is working to prevent this from happening. "We are lobbying hard for this project," said Joe Knox, executive director of the group. "We have written letters to every_ Congress~an and Senator in Washington askmg · them to fully fund the various student loan and grant programs. " COPUS has ad· dressed and composed letters to the 100 senators and 435 congressmen to get the funding that student_s need. " It was a lot of work but 1t was worth it,-" said Knox . · Last year, the maximum award given out for the BEOG program was $1,750. This year, that figure was supposed to rise to $1 ,800 ; however, with the passage of HR 5192, that figure was autlfflrized at $1,900. The House's First Concurrent Budget Resolution assumes full funding for BEOG at the maximum award level of $1,800 and in• eludes $2.1 billion for the funding of the program in FY 81. Since the passage of that first resolution, several things have happened which necessitate increases. First it has become apparent that there will be a deficit of between $250 and $300 million from the FY 80 appropriation of $2.122 billion and the actual FY 80 costs of approximately $2.4 billion. In order to cover this shortfall, the Department of Education will have to take funds that were initially designated for the FY 81 BEOG program. . Second, the Congress1onal Budget Office (CBO), who aids Congress in the determining of funding levels, estimates that to fully fund an $1,800 maximum award is $2 .561 billion. This is $461 million above the estimate included in the House's First Budget Resolution. Based on FY 80 shortfall and the revised estimates, an additional $800 million is needed to assure a fully funded $1 ,800 BEOG pr?gra~Unless the budget committee m· eludes this $800 million increase, the level of funding would force a di:as~ic reduction ~hich _would ehmmate many middle mcome students and substantially reduce awards to needy students. The ef· fects of such a level may well be the same as a return to the pre-Middle · Income Student Assistance Act (MISSA ) levels of eligibility could revert from $25,000 to $15,000 and drQp some 600,000 middle income students from the program . Third, HR 5192 (now Public Law 96-374 ) raised the FY 81 maximum award from $1,800 to $1 ,900. Payment of a $1,900 BEOG would cost approximately $168 million more than a $1,800 maximum. According to figures from the Governmental Relations office of the American Council on Education, unless this increase is provided, 107,000 current student recipients will lose their eligibility as inflation pushes them over the top range of eligibili· ty. The $1 ,900 maximum is also needed to protect needy students from the effects of inflation. In academic year 78-79 when the maximum grant as $1 ,800, it met 49 per- c~nt of average total costs of attendmg college; payment of the same maximum next year would only provide 38 percent of average total costs, and would be worth only $1,475 in FY 78 constant dollars. _ The problems facing the full funding of a $1,900 BEOG are even more compounded by the situation involving the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. The first budget resolution established by the House f~i!ed to take into considei:awm ad· d1tlonal FY 81 expense estimates of $500 million (as predicted by CBO) . However, the GSL program is an ~ntitle~ent program tha~ C?ngr~ss 1s required to supply vnhm1ted fm· ding. In other words, if every student in the US desired a GSL, Congress would be required to meet these costs. This could well mean disaster for other financial aid programs. Because Congress is required to fully fund the GSL program, the Budget Committee, rather than supply more funds to cover this deficit, will reportedly force the Appropriations Commit· tee to transfer funds from other aid programs, most notably from the BEOG program, to meet these costs. Steve Leitman, National Director and lobbyist fo~ COPUS, , commented, "With the passage of the Higher Education Act, it seemed apparent that Congress not only saw the need to not only keep current progr~ms, but was also willing to largely expand the Basie Grant program." Unfortunately, various cir· cumstances and budget restraints place federal financial-aid pro- grams in extreme jeopardy. The same programs documented above are also found, in a slightly varying degree, in the Senate's Second Concurrent Budget Resolution. Full fin· ding of the Basic Grant program, the main element of the entire federal financial-aid system, will not be possible wiless the members of the House and Senate Budget committees are persuaded of the importance of higher education, and shown the impact th~t their current budget proposals will have on campuses across the nation. To accomplish this goal, COPUS, and _ot~er . student . a~vocary organizations are estabhshmg lob· bying campaigns similar to the one at Wilkes in order to reach the Senat~rs and Representatives. The cornerstones of COPUS activities is student involvement Students are being asked to cont~ct their Congressmen as soon as possible and urge them to support funding for the $1 900 BEOG and GSL programs: Leitman emphasized "It is imperative that students ~ontact their representatives immediately to urge them to support full funding of the Basic Grant pro ram.,, The future of fe~eral financialaid programs appears bleak A concerned effort by students pr~sently appears to be the on! ho e. COPUS-Wilkes is helping tfprovide that effort. Graduate Degree Programs Offered In Business,Science And Education _It is not uncommon for a college graduate to find , after a few years in the real world, that for a variety of reasons he may not be satisfied with the education he received and will sometimes return to :a.chool in order to strengthen his knowledge in one area or to get a taste of another discipline. In order to accomodate the needs o·f such students, Wilkes offers several graduate degree programs in business administration, science, and education. The Master of Business Ad· ministration (M.B.Al, like the other graduate programs, provides the opportunity for completion· of degree requirements in one or two years of full time study, depending largely on the students background in the field. The M .B.A. is the most popular graduate degree at Wilkes, due to the large number of young . people entuing careers ;n the commercial market. Master of Science in Education degrees are offered in biology, chemistry, education, elementary education, English, · history, mathematics, physic·s, and special education. John Meyers, Director of Graduate Studies, says, "Students should not rule out education as a possible career because of the present over- supply of teachers. In fact, a few national surveys now show the likelihood of a shortage of teachers in the late 1980's." Here comes the Elephant! MASTER DISTRIBU'(OR CASE BEVERAGE CO. , Kingston,PA Imported by Century Importers, Inc . Ba ltimore , MC · �Page to, The Beacon, December 11 , 1!1110 New Law To Dr~ically Change State Guaranteed Loan Program The Education Amendments of 1980 signed into law by President Carter on October 3 contain provisions which will drastically change the State Guaranteed Student Loan Progam, one of the most popular student-aid programs at Wilkes. Since the program first started in 1965-66, about 7,000 students have borrowed nearly $9 million to finance their educational expenses. Most states have established agencies or commissions to adminsiter the program for its residents, such as the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, the New York Higher Education Assistance Corporation, and the Office of Student Assistance in the state of New Jersey. The Program is a prime example of hi w private industry and the government can pool their resources and provide a much-needed service. The loan dollars are made available by private lenders such as commercial banks, savings and loan associations and credit unions. While the borrowers remain enrolled as students and until they begin • to repay their loans, the Federal Government pays all the interest on behalf of the borrowers. Upon graduation or withdrawal, borrowers return to their lenders to establish pay-back schedules for the repayment· of the loan obligation. The changes included in the 1980 amendments will take effect on January 1, 1981 and will seriously affect students who are considering using the program. Borrowers and potential borrowers should become familiar with the changes in order to obtain maximum benefits from ' the program. The changes affect the interest rates, loan amounts and grace period. The interest ratepaid by borrowers during the prepayment period is currently seven percent. First-time borrowers who enter the program after January 1, 1981, will be charged nine percent interest, which may result in several hundreds of dollars of additional interest charges for borrowers, depending on the amount borrowed and the payback period. Students who are now borrowing through SGL or who will borrow before Dec. 31 will be charged seven percent on additonal loans. Consequently, students should immediately start the application process to preserve their eligibility for the seven percent rate. · The grace periodfor new borrowers will be shortened from the current nine - l2 months to only six months. New borrowers, therefore, will be required to start their repayment sooner than borrowers already in the program prior to January 1. .

Susan Schwab stated under the Social Committee report "the Christmas part went over really well, although the band wasn't that good.'' One of the major complaints centered on IRHC and its members. According to Schwab, "IRHC is not upholding thei r end of the bargain. IRHC is not doing its work. We -are." Schwab was then supported by Joanne Bennick who agreed with the statements and added. "there were only about four members of IRHC that did their work.''

Darlene Schaffer �Page 12, The Beacon, December ll, l!ll!O SPORTS 3-2--------------------McCarrie Hits Last Second Shot To Down Lycoming Record Stands At The ball seemed to hang in the air for a lifetime, and a small crowd in the Wilkes gym stood in complete silence to await its outcome. With only one second left, the ball found its destination and Wilkes had pulled off a thrilling 55-53 victory over Lycoming College. · Senior captain Mike McCarrie fought off the pressure and a 17-ft. distance between himself ·and the basket to raise Wilkes' record to 3-2 in front of a live television audience. Lycoming erased a nine point Wilkes' lead to tie the game with 25 seconds remaining. McCarrie let the ball fly with five seconds showing on the clock and it split the net in a perfect fashion to secure the Wilkes' men 's basketball team of at least a first-place 'tie in change hands several times until Wilkes pulled in front 36-34 at halftime. In less than five mintues, East Stroudsburg had opened up a huge 12-point advantage on some brilliant shooting by superstar Don Bones. Wilkes fought back under the leadership of senior captain Mike McCArrie and came witnin five points, with 2 minutes left in the game. Wilkes then gave up some costly fouls which eventually led to an 82-76 loss. The Colonels gained alot · of respect from the two Division ·u · teams they have played .this year. Wilkes outplayed the Warriors throughout the game, with the exception of that early five-minute second-half stretch. Wilkes attempted only 11 foul shots compared to shadowed by an ankle injury suffered by junior starter Pat McCue early in the first half. The former Wyoming Valley West star may be out for a few months and he will be sorely missed by the Wilkes squad. After three tough road . games Wilkes finally got a chance to play in front of their home crowd, if you could call it that. Only 300 fans showed up to watch the Colonels hold back a stubborn Delaware Valley squad 92-86. The Blue and Gold came out smoking, with excellent passing and controlled shot selection. Freshman "sharpshooter" Bob Antonelli led Wilkes to an early 19-point lead by hitting four straight baskets for the Colonels. Antonelli was all over the court, playing tough defense and being at the right place at the right time on offense. Wilkes never looked better· than when they took a 33-14 lead with 5:30 left in the half. Then the Aggies started pressing the Colonels, forcing them into a running game. The game that started out as a laugh turned out to be no joke when the Aggies scored 10 of the next 14 points to cut Wilkes' lead to 10. Tony Madden and Paul Scaliti combined to score 8 of the game's next 12 points and once again Wilkes seemed to have the game under control. Freshman Bob Morehead showed the crowd touch of Julius Erving with a perfect behind-theback pass to Antonelli who made an easy lay-up, bringing the score to 61-44. Delaware Valley hit two straight buckets, but Tony Madden countered with two consecutive 3pointers and the faithful Wilkes fans headed home. But the fam; stopped dead in their tracks when they heard a tremendous sound. Kevin J.J. Walker hit a "slam dunk" that could be heard all the way to the King's gym. Walker was so high in the air that he could have put himself through the basket! The Aggies came back once again to narrow the margin to four with 2 minutes to go and it was "pull ahead" tilJle again for the Blue and Gold. Kevin Walker hit for one of his seven baskets and the game was finally over. Walker came off the bench to play an outstanding defensive game along With a 19-point scoring night. Tony Madden, getting his first start of the season, scored 19 points, including "7 from the charity line.

For their third - straight road game of the season, Wilkes traveled to meet Division II powerhouse East Stroudsburg last Wednesday night. The Colonels surprised the Warriors by taking a six-point lead on a Rick Sheaffer layup with three minutes left in the second quarter. The next few minutes saw the lead East Sfroudsburg's 35, and that proved to be the deciding factor. Mike McCarrie had an all-time scoring high that night, hitting 11-14 from the field and 8-9 from the line to lead all scorers with 30 points. The Philadelphia native matched his game against a possible proprospect in Don Bones, and the Wilkes captain came out ahead .

On Wednesday night, the Engineers of Lehigh University, who are ranked 5th in the nation, invaded the Wilkes gym to take on the Colonels. Most believed this would be a one-sided affair, as Lehigh seemed to be the superior team on paper. However, the Colonels rose to the occasion and gave the Engineers all they could handle, as the outcome of the match was not decided until the last bout. Although the Colonels dropped the match 24-18, they gained much respect while putting a scare into the highly touted Engineers. On Saturday afternoon, the Colonels journeyed to Annapolis, Md., to take on the 17th-ranked Navy. It seemed as though the Colonels were emotionally drained from Wednesday's grueling match and dropped a 29-13 decision to the Midshipmen. , Bob Weaver got things started in the right direction for Lehigh as he pinned Kris Rowlette with 31 seconds remaining in the bout. Rowlette had a 5-4 lead with one minute remaining in the second period, but Weaver took total control of the bout from that point on. Weaver, who qualified for the U. S. Olympic Team last year, took an 845 lead at the end of the second period, and then pinned Rowlette late in the third period. , At 126 lbs., Billy Dodge got Wilkes on the scoreboard as he decisioned Ray Bellaran 6-4. Dodge diil an outstanding job as he fought back from a 3-0 deficit to garner the win. The 134-lb. tilt was probably the most controversial match of the · evening. Lehigh's Darryl Burley , who was runnerup in last year's NCAA tournament, gained a· superior decision over Mark Popple, 22-6. Burley was leading by a large margin when he illegally slammed Papple with only four seconds remaining in the bout. Popple was injured and according to collegiate wrestling rules, if a wrestler is injured due to an illegal move, and could not continue, his team is awarded six points. It was obvious that Mark could not continue, as he lay flat on the mat with an apparent rib injury. However, Coach Reese told Mark to stand on the mat to finish out the remaining four seconds. This was a display of good sportsmanship at its finest on Coach Reese's part. He said after the match, "I feel I made the right decision even though it cost us the match. I didn't w,ant to be awarded. any points unless we earned them ." sioned Lehigh's Tom Hensler 14-7 to defeating Midshipman Mark If the Colonels took those points, bring Wilkes within striking Phillips 7-5 in the 177-lb. weight they would have won he match, but dsitance as the score stood at 21-18 class, and Heavyweight Rick it would not have felt like a great with the heavweight bout remain- Smith, who showed Navy's Pat victory because they really ing.

A number of different things were tried this semester in comparison to the past few years and reader input ori these new features would be greatly appreciated. With one more semester lt:ft, changes can be made in the BEACON'S sports pages to satisfy the reader's tastes. All that is needed is some feedback.. It is without a doubt that the most successful feature this year wa s ''Athlete of the Week." A great deal of care was put into the selection of ·each featured athlete, and it is hoped that the honor of this award was accepted respectfully. I would like to congratulate all of this semester's athletes who won the award and wish the best of luck to next semester's · Colonels. I also would like to add that this award is to give recognition to the best athlete of the week, not of the year or of a particular game.· Because of this"award process, it is possible that a certain sport will ha ve no athletes nominated during the semester or a certain sport will have four athletes in a row nominated. All that matters in the selection of " Athlete of the Week" is the-- athlete's performance during that particular week. Remember, any person can submit an athlete's name for nomination to "Athlete of the Week" as long as it meets BEACON publication deadlines. Memory Photo is a feature which may not be back next semester unless some support is shown for it. Although support has been good the last couple of weeks, the beginning of the year found the "Memory Photo" article un-named. Now is the time for everyone to voice his opinion on this feature. If it is to continue, support must be received or the feature will no longer be used. Each week during my column, I tried to address both local and national issues pertaining to sports. I felt that the issues I addressed were important enough to be commented on in the BEACON. Each item I wrote dealt with issues I felt Colonel students should know about. Many ti mes I was criticized fo r addressing 'issues other tha n ones dea ling with Colonel athletics in my column. Maybe I should start limiting my opinion to Wilkes sports alone. It really is up to you. The BEACON is your paper and you should read things in a ll sections of it that you really want to read! Let me know, I f an' t change the paper unless you let me know. -Because of a n excessive a mount of ~opy this week. I must limit the size of my column. I believe I have said what I wanted to, and hope that everyone will express their opinions to me on a ny phase of the sports section. My goal is to make the sports pages the best that they ha ve ever been. With the help of my staff and your comments, this goal may not be too far off! See you next semester. I .

There is no excuse for the lack of fan support from the Wilkes student body this year. Every other college has full attendance at their home basketball games and they don' t have a halfas-exeiting and determined squad as the Colonels. We have one of the toughest basketball teams in the area, but it's embarrassing when only a handful of students show up for the games. Other schools have large gyms that s~at up to 3,000 people and they are always at full capacity. It's not as if there is not enough advanced publicity. E very newspaper; radio station and even a few TV stations will give advanc'ed notice before home games, not to PIZZA ROMA 205 South Ma in ~treet {O pposi te Peru g ino 's Villa) Neapolitan & Sicilian Pizza Lasange, Stromboli, Calzone, etc. EVERY THURSDAY (from 4 p.m . to 8 p.m .; All the Macaroni you can ~at OPEN SE VEN DAYS A WEEK 11-11 VISA and Master Charge Accepted $2.99 (Mea t ba lls se rv ed w ith first dish ) PHONE 825-0938 mention the BEACON sports calendar. Last Saturday, WBRE television came to the Wilkes gym to open their season coverage of college basketball. The stands were so empty that WBRE had to keep its cameras centered on the court so the television audience could not see how low the attendance really was. Out of 2,000 Wilkes students, less than HK) showed at the ga me. The fans that did show were treated to a n excellent, hard-fough t game that came down to the last second. Every Wilkes basketball game is exciting to wa tch. It's not fair to the players who try so hard to win for Wilkes to play in front of a few fans . The Blue and Gold has a good shot at a possible playoff berth this year, but when it comes down to the final game with the score tied and one second remaining, it's the fans who make a difference. You wouldn't want to responsible for Wilkes not making the playoffs, would you? Tonight, th~ Colonels will be a part of a rivalry that has lasted since 1947 when they face King's College once more. The game is at King's, but wouldn't it be great if the whole school packed the King's gym ? It might even help us win !

Dr: Andrew ShJ-W, Dean of Management, said "In the administration's judgement, the modifications necessary to bring the building into compliance with the department's regulations are economically unfeasible.' ' Therefore, the occupants of Kocyan Hall will be relocated and eventually the building will be razed. One of those occupants is this area's detachment of the Air Force R.0.T.C., which will be moved to Church Hall, the brick building in front of the library. (The Philosophy Department will be moved to Stark Learning Center.) Lt. Col. Bruce L. Burke, Professor of Aerospace Studies and spokesman for the R.O,T.C., said, "We are very pleased with the move," and agreed with the administration that Church Hall is a very desirable location. It has open space that will be modified to suit the corps, which has outgrown its present facilities. In the past two years, the ranks of the crops have doubled and "for the first time in our eight year history here, we are fully viable.

Earlier in the week, members of the council joined together to decorate the Student Center for the holiday season. Punch and cookies were served to the workers. On Thursday, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Student Center, there will be the last coffeehouse of this semester. Expected to perform is Chick Reeves. Free donuts from Mr. Donut and coffee from the food service will be served. Next semester, auditions will be held for Wilkes College students to try out to perform for the coffeehouses. Local talent will also be on card. This Friday, December 5, CCIRHC will sponsor its . Christmas Party at the Woodlands. Speaking about Christmas, members of SG, IRHC and CC will join together Monday night for some Christmas Caroling at the Valley Crest Nursing Home. Anyone interested in going Christmas caroling should meet in front of Weckesser Hall at 6: 30 p.m. In other news, the bus trip to New York was a success, .although there was some confusion concerning a reserve list. It seems that some students purchased $24.00 Broadway show tickets and had left their name with members of CC to be put on a reserve list. There was no reserve list and, consequently, there were some minor problems. Overall, the bus trip was sold out and pli:µis are in the making for another trip to New York next semester. Under committee reports, the Special Events Committee brought up for discussion the possibility of having a concert. SG President Joe Galli announced that the idea of sponsoring a concert isn't new, but there are several financial repercusions associated with it. A suggestion _ was made to perhaps have a bus trip to a specific concert, instead of hosting one. Galli explained that it is very hard to book a bulk of tickets for a show and there still is the risk factor. "Besides, you would have to make all the arrangements months in advance to sponsor such an event.' ' Also under reports, a new committee will be established for next semester. The committee is the Apartment Committee and it will be organized over the break and will serve as a housing referral.service. CC President Bill Miller noted "Technically students living in apartments are commuters, but they aren't represented well. There are approximately 200 to 250 students that live in their own apartments and commute." Galli noted that with the establishment of the new committee, students who · rent apartments will be represented, although there will not be a separate council for apartment students. Galli believes that if there was a separate council for apartment students it would help to separate the "closeness" made between CC and IRHC. As the meeting came to a close the entire council showed their spirit by wishing and singing "Happy Birthday" to Joe Galli and Gina . DeBiase. The group also extended a tribute to Bill Miller by singing "Miller the CC President." Darlene Schaffer Joint CC-IRHC Meelln9-------- - -------- - --- --------- ·chrisfmaS Parly Set For Tomorrow At the joint IRHC-CC meeting, the upcoming events for Christmas celebration were discussed. Sue Schwab, social committee chairman, reported that the Christmas party will be held at the Woodlands on Firday, Dec. 5. Another event for the holday season is the decorating of residence halls. All decorated residence halls will be judged on Tuesday, Dec. 9, beginning at 7 p.m. Paul Adams stressed that miniature twinkle lights must be used for all displays in order to prevent fire hazards. Also, Ctiristmas caroling at Valley Crest will be held Monday, Dec. 8. A bus will pick up students at 6:30 p.m. in front of Weckesser Hall. Reporting on the progress of the food committee, chairman Bruce Williams said that the new meal ticket system, which requires I.D. cards, will be instituted next semester. Without carrying the I.D., 'the student must pay the price in order to eat and later he or she will be reimbursed for the cost. Some special features to look forward to in the cafeteria are : Dec. 10, a Bread Bar; Dec. 14, a Christmas dinner; and Dec. 17, Fast Food Night - "McDonald's style." The last food committee meeting will be held on Thursday, Dec. 11, in the east wing of the cafeteria at 2 p.m. Under new business, Rick Chapman, president of "Friends Forever," encouraged Wilkes students to become "big brothers or big sisters" to a,young person in the Wyoming Valley area. He stressed Ele c trical Engineering Pt'Ogl'Dln Receia,es Accred imtion FronaABET The Engineering Department of Wilkes College has recenlty been in- formed that their Electrical Engineering (EE) program has been accredited by the Accrediting Board for Engineering Technology (ABET). Within the EE program are fields of concentration such as bio-engineering and computer engineering. ~ . Department Chairman Dr. Umid R. Nejib related that notification of accreditation came at the beginning of this semester. To gain accreditation, the procedure is as follows: First a documentation must be prepared a year in advance. Then a team from ABET visits the department for four days: "They go through eveything assignments, course - work, laboratories," noted Nejib. The team then submits a report to an ABET assessment committee .which sends its decision on accreditation to · the college: ABET decided to award the Wilkes College EE program the full allowable accreditation. Nejib commented that this does not happen very often. He continued, "It is very healthy for us to have someone from the outside come in and look at us, assess us." The engineering department is broken down irito electrical engineering, which is accredited, and materials engineering, which is not accredited yet. Nejib pointed out that many people think that material engineering is not accredited because it has been rejected. This is not true. Nejib stated that the only reason that materials engineering is not accredited is that the ,department has not applied for it, but plans to do so in 1981. He4admitted, "I don't think we'll have any problem with it." The reason the department applied for accreditation for EE first, Nejib said, was because, "We decided to pick the hard one first, then follow up on the other one (materials engineering)." He felt it was "more imperative" for EE to have the accreditation. Nejib noted that the accreditation has "opened new avenues!' for the students. For example, if a student is applying for a job, for a scholarship or to a graduate school, the person who reviews his application will know that the student has met certain standards because he is the product ofan accredited program. Also, to help the students, the department has created an advisory board. It consists of 15 members: three deans of engineering, four alumni and numerous people from industry. The board meets once a year to disucss new ideas and problems, such as how to retain faculty, what graduate schools want and where industry is headed. Nejib- commented that the board helps keep the department "in touch with the outside world." the importance of spending an afternoon with a young boy or girl in the valley who needs an older brother or sister to look up to. Approximately four hours a week are spent with the little brother or little sister. Interested individuals will ~ be making a one-year commitment, or if they are college seniors, the commitment will be for six months.

For more information, contact Rick Chapman at Bedford Hall or attend the Sunday, Dec. 7 meeting at 9 p.m. in the lower level of the library. Reporting on attendance of the NACURH regional conference held at Rochester Institute of Technology, IRHC President Janine Tucker said, "It was a rewarding experience for the Wilkes College delegation to meet people from other schools in the north Atlantic region." Dina Campbell, a member of the Wilkes delegation, elaborated on Wittenburg University's use of a central theme for all of the university's parties and events. For example, this year's theme used to provide school spirit and unity was "Hug a Brick." · Jennifer Frohlinger . -JOBS--.

It concludes with an over-all analysis of the en-· tire series. . Those areas examined this week include biology, engineering, and nursing. Three other majors also are increasing ...,. communications, computer science and theater arts. All three were examined in a previous article because the departments through which they are offered also offer other majors which are not increasing. They will not be examined again here. They are mentioned here only because they are, in fact, increasing. Both communications and theater arts are in their second year of existence and this contributes to the increases in these areas. Likewise, computer science, in its fourth year as a major, is still growing. The remaining areas, biology, engineering and nursing, are examined in detail below. Biology Dr. Lester Turoczi, chairman of the biology department, explained that the increase in the number of majors in his department can be primarily attributed to a strong emphasis in the pre-medical areas nationally as well as on the local level. He reiterated that in the last 15 years there has been a great deal of interest in medicine. This interest has not been limited to traditional medicine, but has extended to osteopathy, podiatry and op- tometry as well. .; r , h le ... t , 1. ,. Turoczi pointed out that part of the increase in the number of majors is related to the advent of the Wilkes-Hahnemann cooperative program in family medicine. Since the inception of that program, and similar programs in other areas of medicine, the number of biology majors has increased from about 150 majors in the late sixties to about 300 majors in the middle seventies. Recently, however, the number of candidates for the WilkesHehnemann program has diminished. Turoczi noted that while that decrease has occured, however, increases have been noticed in the number of candidates in the other health related programs. Turoczi also pointed out that a significant number of seniors are admitted to traditional medical programs, and that the record for traditional_ medical school admissions from Wilkes is better now than it was ten to 15 years ago. In addition, the department chairman commented that a resurgence can be seen in the number of people who are· pure biologi~ts - that is, people who ~re interested in biology rather than medicine or other related areas and who are likely to continue with Major 1967 1!1611 1969 1970 1971 1972 1973 1!174 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 biology at a graduate level.

How many hours do you spend reading (for enjoyment and not 'for classes)? If you're like most students, you prbbably spend more time in front of the tube than in front of a good book. Instead of reading for entertainment, many people turn on the tube. Sometimes it can be very informative and entertaining. But other times . viewers sit in a catatontic state, wasting time on ridiculousness like "WKRP" than constructively spending time on more enriching activities. It has been said that one way to ruin a civilization is to take its books away. TV does that to some degree. Only this deprivation is voluntary. By not reading, people tend to decrease their ability to communicate effectively with others via poor spelling, grammar and' vocabulary. The kwik, kleen spelling of TV advertisements is not majik, nor is it the rite way to spell. This is not to say that everyone must write Like ,Hemingway in order to be effective. Clarity and a_ccuracy does help. The problem of inarticulate people has not originated with the present college-age students, however. Grammatical and spelling errors have been found in many syllabi or tests given by a professor - some of them from our very own English department. While many shows such as "60 Minutes," "Lou Grant," movies and cultural presentations may have some-redee-ming value as they examine issues and problems which face us each day of our lives, most should be considered an insult to the intelligence of an average college student. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" is the kind of high-quality comedy that would never make it on prime time TV. __ Most students of all ages find learning English almost unbearable. So it isn't surprising when you see that the TV becomes the most dominant force in their lives. It doesn't require any knowledge of English, grammar, spelling or writing. The tube just · spews forth heaps upon · heaps of bastaraized words and phrases .. SAT scores are decreasing at an inversely proportional rate to hours spent in front of the tube. Can something be done to alleviate this inability to articulate? Perhaps the already over-loaded English 100 classes could be increased in size and number. Bijt this is not the real answer to a very real problem. It begins with childhood. Children are put in front of the TV and left there by many parents. Old habits are hard to break. By college, most students are used to three hours of TV a day and seem addicted to it. The on- . ly solution at this point is to try to decrease TV viewing and increase book reading. In order to save the language from a slow and miserable death, something has to be done - and fast! tf"~tf"~tf~~~~~~tf~· ~ ttt CHRISTMASPARTY ~ Sponsored by CC 4' IRHC ~ Friday Dec.

In llie early morning hours of December 13, 1977, the festive anticipation of Christmas vacation an<l llie post finals celebration at Providence College was abruptly dashed.

At the time of the fire the residence hallll at Providence were conducting a hall decorating contest. The corridors were thickly covered with combustible materials - posters, wreallis, crepe paper and Christmas trees.

Although most residence hall fires are less tragic, residence hall fires are not an uncommon occurrence. The life styles of college students are in some ways especial-ly susceptible to the dangers of fire. Overloading electricla circuits with heating appliances, typewriters and lamps, and using improperly guaged extension cords are common fire hazards found in college residences. Letter Policy The Housing Office urges students to keep the following fire safety llioughts in mind : L Fire safety equipment, such as wall mounted extinguishers are there for everyone's protection. Also, pulling false alarms is a prank that can lead to loss and injury for students as well as fire fighters. 2. Ex_ tinguish smoking materials before going to sleep. Check the room after a smoker leaves. 3. Use only one plug or electrical cord per socket. Run extension cords aroond the perimeter of the room, carpets and rugs. Use cords of appropriate guage. 4. Be familiar with college buildings. Learn all means of escape. 5. Keep fire doors closed at all times.

Phil Bosanowski hopes these familiar names and places will make the Wyoming Valley audience more responsive to "Flood." · Well, wouldn't you be interested in seeing a play about your very own town, and very own people? The ancient Greeks wrote the " Iliad" and the "Odyssey" because they could identify with the popular heroes. Well; Wilkes-Barre is going to get a chance to identify with its very own heroes - the people involved in the actual flood. characters turned out so much like the people of this area. " I grew up in a small New Jersey city very much like Wilkes-Barre, so ~ing here was almost like a homecoming; the houses, neihborhood bars and people all looked familiar." Phil did his research for "Flood" by asking citizens of the Wyoming Valley about their experiences during Agnes. Then, he added his own creativity and imagination to bring them to life once again. Phil wrote his first play when he was a child. Since that time in his life, he has worked at a number of odd jobs to support himself while continuing to write plays. Currently, he is producing his own play at the "Bottom Line," a ~ell-known nightclub in New York City. " Unfortunately, it is difficult to make a living out of playwriting, although some people, like Neil Simon, get very lucky. " Phil intends to keep on writing his plays, however. Next semester he will attend a playwrighter's festival in the Midwest. "We will all be collaborating on a play about American heroes and idols, everyone from Johnny Appleseed to Marilyn Monroe." On Dec. 5, 6, at 8 p.m., and on the 7th, at 2 p.m., we will get to se our own heroes and idols - real live people who bravely dealt with the worst natural disaster in the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania. So come and see the return of Agnes. :w zw/MwffN///Ufff f/ff&////ff/f fN ff./#fff fffliMH/4'ffPfffftf/4M¾0 m RoyaFahmy f/1'ffffAV/4fM ,,,&WM II Insurance Calms 9786354 HAVE YOU SEE1' THIS MAN ON CAMPUS? - If not, then come to the opening night performance of the next theatre . production, "Flood" on Friday night.

He and the cast will be available at the reception following the opening night performance. There is one character in the play who is not quite a hero, however. This is the narrator. He speaks to the audience as well as to the charcters in the play. He is sort of a mid,die man, involved in the play but only as an observer. In one scene, when all the characters are frantically stacking sandbags to block ' the dike, they ask the narrator for help. He coldly replies, " No, I cannot help you. I'm taking pict4res, this is history ... " The narrator serves another purpose also - he is the link between Phil, our playwright, and the audience. Phil cannot be up on the stage explain· ing the events of the flood , so the narraotr does it for him . "I wish I could be an actor and a director and a playwright all at the same time," , muses Phil " but playwrit ing is my first love." During the rehearsal, Phil often discussed the script with Jay Sigfreid and the actors. He also changed a few lines in the script once in a while. "The fun of playwriting is inventing your very own characters and situations," explained Phil, "and if you don't like somthing about them you just change it."

Trying to describe an accident can be difficult, particularly if you are the one at fault. However, always remember that others have been in the same situation, and they too have found it hard to convey exactly what was the cause of the accident. The following statements apeared in an issue of FTC Watch. These are a~tual summ~ries submitted by policyholders who were asked for a brief summary on how a particular accident happened. So if you ever have the misfortune to be involved in an automobile accident, you can think of t hese as examples of what not to say to your insurance agent. ·· Coming home, I drove into 'the wrong house and collided with a tree I don't have. The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intentions. I thought my window was down, but found it was up when I put my hand through it. I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way. A truck backed through my windshield into my wife's face . A pedestrian hit me and went under my car. A guy was all over the road, I had to swerve a number of times be.fore I hit him. I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment. In my attempt to kill a fly I drove into a telephone pole. I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up obscuring my vision. I did not see the other car. I had been driving my car for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had the accident. The accident occurred when I was attempting to bring my car out of a skid by steering it into the other vehicle. I had been learning to drive with power steering. I turned the wheel to what I thought was enough and found myself in a different directjon going the opposite way. I was backing my car out of the driverway in the usual manner, when it was struck by the other car in the same place it had been struck several times before. , I was oD"my way to the doctor's with rear end troubl~ when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident. I was taking my canary to the hospital. It got loose and flew out the window. The next thing I saw was his rear end and there was a crash. As I approached the intersection, a stop sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident. To a.void hitting the bumper of the car in front, I struck a pedestrian. My car was legally parked as it backed into the other vt11icle. An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my vehicle and vanished. I told the police that I was not injured but on removing my hat, I found that I had a fractured skull. When I saw I could not avoid a collision I stepped on the gas and crashed into the other car. . The pedestrian had no idea which way to go, so I ran over him. The indirect cause of this accident was a little guy in a small car with a bigmouth. I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was' later found in a ditch by some stray cows. The accident happened when the right front door of a car came around the corner without giving a signal. The telephone pole was approaching fast. I was attempting to swerve out of its path when it struck my front end. . , I saw her look at me twice, she appeared to be making slow progress, then we met on impact. �Page 6, The Beacon, December -l, l!l80 Bacon Sizzles Coffeehouse In our everyday world, with the pressures of exams, papers, classes and labs, it's important to take an evening off and relax by listening to some mellow music, without all the elaborate orchestration one hears on most albums and tapes. Saturday, Nov. 22, was that type of relaxing evening for those who went to the SG-sponsored coffeehouse in the Student Center, featuring Michael Bacon. Well over 50 people attended the coffeehouse and were treated to the type of mellow entertainment that is provided by a singer with just his guitar. Bacon played and sang a variety of songs - some humorous, some . serious. He himself had written many of them, but he sang several. songs originally performed by · other artists. He also introduced most of the songs either by telling why he had written.them or by explaining their meaning. He started the evening with the Janis Joplin favorite, "Me and Bobby McGee," and followed that with an original song, "They Still Holler Boogie." He explained that he'd been the opening act at several concerts, an act which served to "get all tlie frisbees out of the audience" before the main act came on stage. This song expressed how he felt in such a situation ,.... almost as if he wanted to "put the guitar away and become a Buddhist monk.' ' Another song was about the fear of telling someone you like them, because they might hot like you. · Bacon called this one, "Orange Juice on Ice." At first, this title may not make much sense, but it is explained in these lines, "I didn't think she liked me/Well she thought I was kind of nice/Like orange juice on ice." In a lighter tone, Bacon next played a count~y and western song he'd written. He told the audience that he used to be a songwriter for a publishing company in Nash,Ville, so he felt that he should turn out at least one country song a year. He jokingly said that there are three things necessary for a song to quality as country and western : you have to play the guitar with a flat pick; the song must make reference to the consumption of alcoholic beverages; and the song should have a somewhat clever title. As an example of such a title, he considers "Red Necks, White Socks and Blue Ribbon Beer" as a classic. His own song is called "Arkansas Seessaw" about an unfaithful girlfriend. While he was still in Nashville, he wrote what he says is a "very distasteful, demeaning song," called "Keep Your Big Mouth Shut," about a guy who has just broken up with his girlfriend, and is on the rebound. In the song, he is speaking to his new girlfriend. Why is the song so distasteful? A few lines should give you some idea: "Speak to me with your body, leave your mind at home .. .I just need a temporary crutch - you're just second string... That doesn't mean I don't like you, but if she ever comes back, You're back on the street." But to be fair, he followed this song with "The Way He Looks at You," about a guy who likes a girl who is going out with someone else. No matter how much he tries to convince the girl he's the right guy for her, she remains unconvinced. Bacon played all the songe mentioned above on the guitar, but he also played two songs on the cello, "Let It Be Me" and "Send in the Clowns." Although he handled the cello well, this instrument overpowered his voice, making it difficult to hear the words of the songs. Wilkes Initiates Arl Program • 'T At The Sordoni Arl Gall~_ry Wilkes has initiated a unique art appreciation program in its continuing commitment to community enrichment. Within the college, the Sordoni Gallery is operated for both campus and community on a yearround basis with all exhibits offered free of charge. The exhibits have a scope that is impressive and ineludes names such as The Immortal Eight, Franz Klein, Mary Cassat, Celcilia Beaux, Martha Walter and soon. Cara Berryman, exhibitions coordinator for the Gallery, was always aware of the interest shown by the community for the Gallery and, in her capacity as coordinator, found herself answering questions about · theworksondisplay. Because of the obvious interest and the obvious lack of information aboutartistsandtheirworks,Mrs. Berryman decided to begin a docent program which would enrich and educate volunteers from the community in art apprecitation and then return these volunteers to the community to conduct tours and discuss visuals with visitors to the Sordoni Gallery. This, Mrs. Berryman thought, would also be an -excellent method to stimulate art interest in children on the elementary and secondary level in the city's schools. It has proven highly successful. The docent training program, comparatively new, has already been responsible for approximately 45 tours through the Gallery and several requests from local schools and senior citizens groups to tour the facility.Mrs. Berryman hopes that other colleges which house these small museums will look into the very successful and rewarding plan to bring art to the community atlarge. ii 1> ~ 1. , The second half of the coffeehouse had a mixture of humorous and serious songs, as in the first half. One of the serious songs, "Through the Eyes of Children" had been written a few years ago, but as Bacon commented, · "Unfortunately, it's still true." One line in the song best sums up its meaning, "Aren't we a silly sight-trying to teach between wrong and right to the eyes of children." An interesting and thoughtful song was "Bill Moline," which asked the question, "Were songs made to make money, or were songs made to sing? " This was a question Bacon had often asked himself, and had thought about quite a bit. In the song, he tells of a boy named Bill Moline who had an old guitar and wanted to sing one of Bacon's songs to him. At first, Bacon didn't think that Bill would sing very well, and in fact, Bill really didn't sing the melody the way that Bacon had, but he knew the words well enough. But more important to Bacon was that in singing the song, Bill had given him a little bit of fame. It's not too hard to guess how Bacon would answer the question of the song. The final song was one of the most thought-provoking of the evening. Entitled "The Beauty of It All," it was about Bacon's own . father and how he and his father had different ideas about what. he should do with his life. This was relevant to a lot of people jn the audience since everyone at one time or another has had a conflict with his parents that created some tension. Or as Bacon sings, "Every . time our eyes would meet/We'd find more of our wall/ And I'd look away and wonder/About the beauty of it all." The coffeeshouse went over well. The audience enjoyed Bacon's performance, possibly because he is somehow able to propose some thought-provoking questions in his songs without being depressing. Or maybe it was just because he provided some good, no-frills entertainment.

Summary In the past several weeks, all of the majors at this institution have • been examined in an attempt to -·-~ -- ---Why --Walk -- -Downtown -- - --- --~ to Play Games I ~ : discover why certain majors are more popular than others. It was shown that students C3Jl find jobs no matter what major they select. However, certain . m'ajors in technical or pre-professional areas are selected because they lead to a specific job opportunity. . Many of the department chairmen felt that there has been an over-emphasis on finding jobs. They have stated that the students should be in college to get an educalion which could be used as a foundation for a variety of occupations. Th· · t · b k d b th f t is pom is ac e up Y e ac that many people change occupations several times during their lives. Also, many peopJ ! find satisfying work in areas not related to their field of study. The fact remains, however, that those areas with the largest numbers of majors - biology, business administration, accounting, engineering, nursing and computer science - all prepare students for jobs in fields with good job opportunities, or for graduate programs in fields with good job opportunities. Many of the liberal arts majors, however, -are not often associated with specific job opportunities, and as a result, are not often selected by job conscious students. The sciences, for the most part, are able to attract a stable number of majors who, upon graduation, enter graduate scfiools or find jobs in their fields. In conclusion, it has been seen that the student's major is not the most important thing in finding a job. Students should choose majors in areas that interest them. In the end, job opportunities depend on the person, not his major.

Over fifty guidance counselors from high schools, colleges and junill'r colleges in Northeastern Pennsylvania were in attendance. · As a result of the recently passed Federal legislation dealing with financial aid programs, the fouryear limitation on Basic (Pell) Grant eligibility has been changed. Now, students may continue to receive this grant assistance until graduation or completion of degree requirements. This change is especially meaningful to students who have changed majors during their educational careers and who now must spend a ninth semester-or even a fifth yearat the College in order to complete their new programs. Studens who have_progressed at the rate of 12 ••••• credits a semester will also be affected. While those studenfs would formerly have qualified for eight semester grant payments and then exhaust their eligibility, they now may coritinue to use Basic (Pell) Grant assistance until graduation. · There has been no change in the progression requirement-in other words, students must continue to accumulate 24 credits for each year of grant assistance received in order to remain eligible for the following academic year. -Two other changes were made in the program : The Basic Grant Program was renamed the Pell Grant Program, honoring Senator Claiborne Pell of Rhode Island, who was instrumental in designing much of the Federal student-aid legislation. Secondly, the maximum grant ceilings will increase to $1900 in 1981-82, $2100 in 1982-83, $2300 in 1983-84, $2500 in 1984-85, and $2600 in 1985-86.

Their memories were kept alive by the first annual Sports Card and Memorabilia show. Remember those cards you used to flip in your grade school years? One of those cards can now be worth up to $13,000. Maybe that is the reason why card collecting is one of the fastest growing hobbies in America today. Over 3,000 people from across the country showed up to bring back old memories of opening that fresh pack of cards with the bubble gum inside. As one card enthusiast noted, "This is the only place I know where you can see almost every player that lived in the same place at the same time." Bruce Stauber and his wife were one of the 20 owners who tried to sell some of their prized card and souveneirs. "I have close to a million cards and can sell them for as much as a thousand times of what I paid for them." Mr. Stauber said that money is not the only reason he is selling his cards. "I sell them so other people can start a collection of their own." All of the owners were extremely nice and patient with the packed crowd. They were just happy that so many people took an interest in their collection. Some people became so interested that they decided to sneak a few cards in their pockets without 1pay~ng. 1 At the end of the day an auction was held for many items ranging from autographs to a baseball bat used by Lou Pinella of the New York Yankees. The prices were so high that only three items were sold. It's not every day that a person is willing to spend $150 for a 1951 Wille Mays or $75 for a 1948 Jackie Robinson, especially if the owner . paid less than a penny for it. Aside from the quiet auction, many cards were sold. It went so well that an ector, Joe Sa, decided that there will be another show at the Host in April. So check your old collections and if you find a 1910 Honus Waimer, you are now $13,000 ric~er. Boil Buchsbaum 1\o\and"'--, .

This year was not a good year for the Blue and Gold under the direction of veteran coach Rollie Schmidt. The season had a bad look about it right from the opening week of practice. The loss of key players due to academic ?r personal reasons, the loss of experienced players due to practice in1ur1es, a~d the lack of a number one quarterback gave Coach Schmidt headaches before the first Saturday afternoon game. The Colonels started off the year with 'five staight losses before picking up their first win over F.D.U. Madison. After their sixth loss, to Ramapo Coll~ge, the team pulled together and chalked up two more victories, includmg a last second thriller over Susquehanna University. The sqaud finished the season with three wins and six losses, a record which one would not boast about. Earlier in the year, I attempted to put the problems of the Colonels into perspective by addressing some of the mistakes made by the players and coaches on and off the field. I still hold firm on the comments I made about the team and coaching staff in that column, but I will not rehash, or shall I say "rethrash," those issues again. Rather, in this column I would like to com~ent on the most important part ofthe Colonel football program, the team itself. Watching the performance of the defesne over the entire year, I must admit that it had the potential of being the best in the league. The defensive line was outstanding in every game, doing all that can be asked of a group ef players. Led by co-captain Ed Mollahan, the defensive line was the one constant bright spot for Colonel fans. Time after time, the line stopped opponents from grinding out yardage on the ground, forcing them to go to the air for yardage. If running backs did break through the line, they received a rude welcome in the ar ms of the very competent Colonel linebackers. The linebackers were always there to break up a short pass, add pressure to the opposing quarterback, and provide that added hit to stop an opponent's third and one drive. The linebackers also joined in with the defensive line to give the entire team the kind of spirit and drive which has been a regular ' part of Colonel squads. During the season, the defensive unit was the first to "p~yche" themselves out for a game, and their enthusiasm appeared in their performa nce throughout the year. Although the defensive unit was the stable force behind the Colonel's program this season, the defensive secondary did have their problems. Numerous times when the line forced opposing teams to go to t he air, the result was better than. if they played it safe and stayed on the ground. Numerous times opposing teams scored on the Colonels by means of the long pass. Rick Byrd could have probably set a Lycoming school record that even Terry Bradshaw would not be able to break if the Lycoming coach had not taken him out in the third quarter. The Blue and Gold's defensive secondary left opposing receivers open too many times for a team to be successful. Not being destructive in my criticis m, but only fair to the rest of the squad, the secondary was, at best, below average this season ! The Colonel offensive unit really had their problems this year which undoubtedly accounts for the team's overall record. Except for a few bright spots on the unit, the offense was ineffective. Staying a_way from the problem of no number one quarterback on the team, in all fairness to those who tried to fill the signal-callers slot, they had no time to prove what they culd do. It is pretty hard for a quarterback to get off a good pass when a defensive line is in t he backfield before he gets a chance to look for his receivers. Thelack of protection for the qua rter back and the inability to open holes for Colonel running backs were two big problems for the offensive line all year. Numerous times Blue and Gold runners had to "earn it the hard way" as a result of the line's below a verage play. It should be noted that the 1 h_a ve _a few good games, but for a team to be even .500 on the year, 1·me d"d an offensive lme cannot be a sometimes force. One of the bright spots on the Colonel offense was receiver Tony Madden a former division I player. Madden's performance all year was that a divi~ sthion. I hplay t ethr, making dif~icult catches and important post catch runs roug ou e 1980 campaign. E ven though Colonel fa ns did not have a lot to cheer about this year, Madden's performances were a treat for any sports fan, regardless of team preference. It is truly hard to put the kind of season the Colonels had into any one ph_ras~ or w~rd_, but if any word comes close t? a description of the season, 1t 1s d1sappomtmg. The season was not only disappointing for the coac hes, players, and students of the college, but it was a let-down to all the fa ns in the jlrea who support the team in hope for a return to MAC supremecy. Now that the 1980 season is a bad memory and the football spikes are put aw~y for the ye~r, one can only hope that this campaign was a learning exper1e~ce for all mvolved. For the coahcing staff, it is time to go back to the drawmg board ; for the underclassmen on the team, there is always next year; ~nd for the seqiors on the squad, there are only some select memories. When the 1981 season rolls around, hopefully there will be some changes, and maybe, just maybe, the Colonels will be on the winning road a ain! . · �~ l;r ri-= f~-tl E n i=--e: i CG ~ ft ... 1:rlR" : ti =~ :mr ~er .= ='*~ rls ;I ~:s I a· .f ,l (fl ! ·_r.• ~ ,:ia. i: f;" ri Q D.~ ~ -·•-. -~'R :::~:~i~:~;:.. ...

BEDFORD HALL - Some of the vandalism that occurs on campus is evidenced by the banisters on the outside of Bedford Hall which were torn out of the concrete steps. Because of the nature of the damage, all·or the steps as well as the banister has to be replaced. Gordon Roberts, Director of Alumni Relations, recently submitted his resignation to President Robert S. Capin. Roberts' resignation, which was effective Oct. 31, was due to the fact that he no longer wanted to serve in an administrative position. Roberts did not have another position at the time of his resignation, according to President Capin, but is taking timeroff to decide what he wants to do. One possibility is that he will return to full-time teaching " I'm sorry he made that decision," commented President Capin, "but he left on an amicable basis. He did a good job and worked hard."

Lisa Gurka NOTICE When speaking of the costs that are incurred by acts of vandalism, President Robert Capin explained, "Obviously looking at total funds to operate an institution, one of the items which requires a substantial outlay of funds is the operation of the physical plant which included repairs and maintenance. " He further added that the cost of repairs also provide for funds to repair the damages caused by acts of vandalism. "The end result is that cost to repair damaged properties and to keep the campus clear of litter must be considered in arriving at total revenue necessary to meet these expenditures. This means that the increase is felt in a rise in tuition and room and board.'' When asked of ways to curtail vandalism, President Capin said, "There is no way to absolutely stop vandalism, ·but the objective is to INSIDE Enrollmenf Trends Part4 p. 3 "Battle With The Butt~" Today p.5 The"Zero Factor" p. 7 Football Caps Season p.11 , keep it at a mimimum." Charles Abate, business manager of the College, claimed that the highest cost incurred from vandalism are glass doors in Pickering Hall. "In the 1979-80 year, over $3000 was spent replacing glass doors in New Men's. Every weekend we have to go down and look at the damage which is totally unnecessarty." Recently banisters were torn out of the outside steps of Bedford Hall, which Abate received an estimate of.$800 to repair. There has also been recent damage to interior banisters of Bedford and Dennison Halls. As the business manager read down the list, quite frequently such items as thermostats, railings, phone boxes, door handles, lights, furniture and vending machines appear. "Regardless of who causes the vandalism, Wilkes students or outsiders, there is a lack of respect for the property rights of others. Some vandalism may be laid to outsiders but some may not," Abate said. Vandalism on campus, excluding theft, was at least $20,000 for the '79'80 term, according to Abate. "These are items that are reported to us. Some itmes are never reported and are charged directly to the student offenders through the Finance Office," continued Abate. Reiterating Capin's statement that vandalism cannot be stopped totally; Abate concluded, "Curbing vandalism is a joint effort. All parties are involved and no one person or individual can control it.''

Linda Giordano, a business education instructor, was appointed as the new Financial Aid Director, and will officially step into that post on Jan. 5, 1981. President Capin said that Raspen expressed an interest in the position and, because of his experience and desire, was appointed Director of Alumni Relations. The decision to appoint Raspen came after also considering other applicants. When asked what he planned to do with the position, Raspen replied that, first of all, he saw the position as being an involvement with many different aspects, such as keeping the alumni up-to-date on college happenings and vice versa. He further stated, "We've got to keep in touch with the alumni, with where they are and what they are doing, and keep them in touch with what the college is doing. " Alumni also play a large role in matters concerning fundraising, _ and Raspen said that it is important for the alumni to be involved in and participate in as many things as possible. He commented, "It's got to follow from an involved alumni group. By keeping them involved, they will wnat to participate more" Ra~pen wants to set up different activities for alumni to particiapte in, and in the planning stages now is a wrestling weekend at the Western of whether any other pictures will be purchased.

Winter Weekend Plans Tops G Agenda Monday One of the matn topics of discussion at Monday night's Student Government meeting, which was shortened because of the snow storm, was the beginning of plans for Winter Weekend which is in February. Reporting for the social committee, Corinna Bender announced that the weekend will probably have a summer theme. The teams participating in the events would select names of beaches and resorts for their teams. · One of the proposed highlights for the weekend would be a game of musical chairs. The Winter Weekend is looking into the possibility of having one of the city streets which cuts trhough the campus closed so that the game could be played on a larger than usual scale. What the committee has in mind is attempting to break the record for the most,people involved in a game of musical chairs. If everything goes as planned. it is possible that if the record is broken it c0uld be included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Also, the committee is considering national attention such as exposure on shows such as "Real People" and ''That's Incredible.'' Senior Class President Rob Wallace announced that the movie "Animal House" will be shown tomorrow in the gym. It will be followed by a party, and all those coming dressed in a toga will get a 50 cent refund on their admission. IRHC President Janine Ticker noted that today is National Smokeout Day Bill Miller report!:)d that COPUS is sponsoring a pizza party in the basement of the student center today. Tickets cost $2.00 and those in attendance can get as much pizza and soda as they wish. ' Finally, SG President Joe Galli announced that the first SG newsletter came out last week. It was noted that 800 newsletterswere printed and distributed to the students and -staff. SG Advisor Doris Barker stated that she "really liked the newsletter" and suggested that it be kept neat. · Louis Czachor �Page 2, The Beacon, November 20, 1!1110 Saturday, Nov. 22nd - - - - - - - - -~-~- - - - Neu, York Trip Set For Noa,. 26: Coffeehous~ Features Michael Bacon Joint CC-IRHCMeeting Sun. Singer-songwriter •Michael . Bacon will perform at a coffeehouse this Saturday, Nov. 22, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the basement of the student center. The coffeehouse is sponsored by Student Government and admission is free. In addition, .coffee and refreshments will be served. Bacon was featured at a coffeehouse here last fall which was attended by quite a few people. That coffeehouse went over well, and it is hoped that even more people will be 2>1le to attend this one. Bacon is a Philadelphia-born musician who has a wide range of accomplishments in the 10 years that he has-devoted to music. He plays the guitar, cello and oboe and has written numerous songs as well as jingles and television and film scroes. His compositions range from delicate ballads through jazz, rock and classical pieces. His "incorrect" performances are a delight to audiences of all ages. He is a recording artist with many singles and three ablums to his credit: Good News on Columbia Records, Bringing It Home and Love Songe Believer on the Monument Label. In addition, Bacon has traveled through most of North America and Europe and has performed on the same bill with Linda Ronstadt, Steve Martin, Fleetwood Mac, Loggins & Messins, Kris Kristofferson & Rita Coolidge, Billy Joel and James Taylor. · This versatile performer also has a rather unusual accomplishment. He has built an 8-track recording studio from the ground up. He works out of this studio, holding recording sessions for taping his original songs and scores. He also College Announces Closing Policy . ' All members of the College commuity sh011ld be aware of our policy with regard to the closing of the College due to inclement weather. Normally, the College will not be closed because of bad or threatening weather. With substantially mere than half of our students living oa campus. or in close proximity, every effort will be made to con- tiaue operations. This does not mean that students, faculty or staff are expected to risk lire or limb if conditions do not permit safe access to the college. When a decision is made to suspend operations at the College, radio stations will be notified prior to 7 a.m. or, in the case of evening .classes, prior to 3 p.m. Higla Sclaool Students Attend Science &po Last Saturday Science Expo '80 was held in the Stark Learning Center. Although there were fewer high school students this year as opposed to past years, everyone involved felt that the day was a total success. Students from different high schools in the area had a chance to observe and participate in the various demonstrations presented by the departments. According to most people who were working at the expo, the reason for the lack of high school students turning out was late media publicity. Dr. Lester Tur czi said "Our public relations department did a good job, but it wasn't picked up by the local media." Dr. Turoczi added that another reason for the lack of people could be the November date. "It used to be at the end of October. When the expo was scheduled for the Nov. 15 date, it was just a week after King's College's Science Day and a lot of students just couldn't make it two weeks in a row." One of the people working at a display said, "There are more workers than people on tour here today." The students who did attend seemed very impressed with the demonstrations they saw and parUciapted in. Most of the people working there felt that Science Expo '80 was set up better than the expos of other years. Some of the displays which the guests thought were the most interesting were the psychological tests demonstrated by the psychology department. Students also seemed fascinated with the two-way mirror room of the psychology department. Another of the demonstrations that many of the visiting students found interesting was the Animal Behavior section of the biology department. Despite the small number of people to turn out, those who did enjoyed the day. One visiting student remarked that he "didn't know there were so many things in the science field." Other visiting students added that they thought the Wilkes students presented the demonstrations well. Tom Jordan Student Injured At Science Expo At the science expo last Satuday there was one minor accident. A few minutes after finishing a demonstration on the equipment used in geology, Caroline Miletta got her hands caught in one of the machines. Karen Holmer, one of the tour guides and a sophomore nursing major, came to the scene after hearing the screams. She acted immediately and took her to the nursing department. Later, students at the nursing department said ' she would be alright and they just wanted her to go the hospital for Xrays.

IRHC Discusses Smoke-Out Day At this week's IRHC meeting, the main topic of discussion was the National Smoke-out Day. Thursday, Nov. 20 will be the day for smokers to sign pledge cards· stating they will not smoke on this day. At Wilkes, the Biological Society, Human Services, Student Government, Commuter Council and Inter-Residence Hall Council will be directly involved in encouraging smokers to stop smoking today. The ultimate goal of this national smoke-out campaign is for smokers to quit smoking for life, not just a day. In the past, many of the smokers who pledged to quit for a day did totally "kick the habit." Other new business discussed at this meeting was the project for Christmas caroling. On Monday, . Dec. 8, a bus will pick up students, at Weckesser Hall, who would like to go caroling at Valley Crest. - Concerning housing contracts, Paul Adams said that in order for a student-to break a housing contract, he or.she must submit a letter to the housing directors by December 1, 1980. . The I students must state reasons for breaking the contract and must realize that the letter is 1 sent to a committee which will decide whether or not the contract can be broken. un&er committee reports, the social committee will hold its next meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 25 at 11:30 a.m. in SLC 209. The topic of discussion will be the Christmas party, which will be held at the Woodlands on Friday, Dec. 5. · Reporting on the l) gly Picture Contest, Stacey Keeley said that the deadline for picture entry is extended until after the Thanksgiving break. She reminded everyone to turn in those ugly picture.s !

Under old business, CC President Bill MIiler noted that he has been working with the president and vice-president of the King's College Commuter Group to help structure the commuter group at King's. Members of the King's College commuter group will be attending CC meetings in the very near future . It is hoped that the commuter groups of both colleges will be able to come _together on various joint projects. One such project is to try and work a traffic deal with local city government to allow college students to have longer meter parking or to have special coupon parking. Commuter Council will also be doing its share in the all-college smoke out today. Members of council will be distributing various materials on smoking to students and will also carry out some special activities planned for the "no smoking" day.

The majors to be looked at this week include chemistry, earth and environmental · sciences, philosophy, psychology, business · administration, accouting, economics, medical technology, international studies and individual studies. Most of the departments included in this week's article have had a similar number of majors for each of the past 14 years. The only possible exception to these qualifications might be the commerce and finance department which offers majors in accounting, business administration, and economics. However. because the numbers of majors in those fields dipped in the middle '70's and have increased since then, the numbers average --()Ut. Also, none of the increases or decreases were very large in comparison with the number of majors still in the department. Chemistry Acting Chairman of the chemistry department Francis Salley began by explaining that many students who major in chemistry have identified with the subject early in life and realized that they like it. Also, some students who take chemistry in high school develop an interest in it and take it as their major in college. He noted that the chemistry the student encounters on the college level differs from most previous chemistry experience in that in the first college chemistry course the student is faced with the meaning of chemical reality. At this point, the student decides if a career in chemistry is right for him. Salley pointed out that more students usually transfer into the department than out of it. Also, a number of students transfer from other schools to major in chemistry. Salley explained that the department views chemistry as a field that cannot help but expand into even greater areas that it is involved with presently. He noted that 20 years ago most of the products we have today did not exist, and in the future chemists will continue to develop new products. As a result, Salley commented, "I can see the attractiveness of the field of chemistry." Salley expects there to be an increase in the number of chemistry majors nationally and he expects Wilkes to get its share of the increase. As far as jobs for chemistry majors are concerned, Salley stated, "Many, many industries and many governmental laboratories employ chemists or chemically related peopie. Each year our students either go into a graduate school situation or an industrial situation and all are placed. There is never a year when all are not placed." Commerce And Finance The commerce and finance department, chaired by Dr. Howard Williams, offers majors in accounting, business administration, and economics. Considering the numbers of majors in these areas, Williams explained that in the late '60's and early 70's business was a "hot discipline," and at that time Wilkes ran behind the national trends. He then pointed out that, since then, there have been fewer people majoring in these fields nationally, but Wilkes has not seen these decreases. Williams did say that one reason for the steady number of majors is that during a recession "people tend to get more job conscious and tend to associate a business major with a job." Williams also commented, "The well publicized success of the M-BA (Masters of Business Administration) program has caused undergraduates to choose a business major as a road to MBA." _ Looking at job opportunities in each of the commerce and finance · areas, Williams noted that most acocunting majors get work in public accounting firms or as internal accountants in business and in: dustry. He continued by noting that the well advised economics major usually goes to graduate school if he is serious about economics. ~......................~ As far as the business ad~ ~.. ~ ;11111 ministration major is concerned, 11 ~ ~~ "' Williams explained that they tend ~ ,.jot--:'" _ ·, ;11111 to get jobs that their degree of am;11111 if') 1 ,. • ~ bition and well-roundedness ~-,''~ enables them to get.

Lately, there have also been "quite a few" business administration majors going into masters degree programs after graduation. One of the reasons that the department is attractive to students is that in terms of success on the part of its graduates, the department has "a very good track record. " Also, the acocunting internship program is very strong according to Williams, and eight monetary scholarships are given out each year to accounting majors. In addition, this year for the first time the George Elliot Memorial Scholarship will be given to an outstanding economics major. The department also gives out , three graduate assistantships mainly on the basis of merit. Earth and Environmental Sciences Earth and Environmental Sciences Department Chairman Dr. Bruce Berryman began by noting that the department is now well established and growing, and, as a result, a slight increase could be expected. He pointed out that interest in the program is "a fad that did not die out" as part of the ecology movement of the early seventies. He also noted that decreases may be possible because fewer students are graduating from high schools and deciding to go to college. He feelsthatthepossibleincreasesand the possible decreases have been cancelling each other out, and the end result has been a stable department. _Berryman noted that the department __hasa _teacher certification 35 30 19 25 26 --10- ---~--13 10 7 9 I08 54 61 -14!1- tt!t- 112100- 167 159 155 tKH 111& · 221 - 2-1,- 302 V19 25 -- ------- - - - - - - -- --- - Medical Technology 197!1 54 146 178 ;. a~~ ~ 221 236 49 :10 -- ;11111 ~ • ~ 1!176 1977 -··-- ---------- m ·-·-·-··---·---- - u II II ll 41· · 5-4 - , -, -- -48- 41 6 ti 6 ----- - - IO 7 12 3 204 166 137 122 program in earth and space science. The department also has applied for a teacher certification program in environmental science which he termed "one of the better areas in education" because the state recently began requiring teachers of these subjects to be certified in these areas. In the past, other science teachers taught these subjects. Berryman pointed out that Wilkes has the only environmental science department of the 15 close colleges in the area, and is one of the few colleges having a combined earth and environmental sciences department. The department chairman commented that about 15 percent of the graduates go to graduate schools and about 76 percent find jobs in areas related to their field. Individual Studies The college bulltin states that the program in individual- studies "is designed for those capable and motivated students who wish to undertake a course of study that cannot be provided for under any of the normal B.A., B.S. degree programs. Dr. Howard Williams noted that since "not many students have felt the need to avail themselves to individual studies" it is "probably a reflection of the quality of the regular programs." 15 46 --·-------- - - 5 IO --··-- - - - ·-· · - - - -43 34 38 43 27 43 - 6 110 133 150 8 27 29 K 3 130 . 116 Medical Technology Dr. Robert Doty noted that medical technology has a constant demand, a steady need for students. This explains why medical technology has had a steady number of majors through the last 14 years. Doty also noted that he does not see any changes in the future. He expects the demands to continue to be about the same. He stated that most medical technology graduates work in a hospital laboratory because this is what they are trained for and this is what they are qualified to do. Some private clinics and private labs also hire medical technology graduates to do the same kind of work they would do in a hospital laboratory. Doty commented that most of the graduates find work and he does not know of any cases where a student wanted a job and could not find one. As far as graduate schools are concerned, he noted that it is a possibility, but it is not a usual occurrance. If a student does go to graduate school it is usually after a few years of work. · He commented that the major is attractive because it involves interesting work, and the graduate "is almost guaranteed employment" because jobs can be found almost anyplace in the country, wherever there is a hospital.

A new club is now being formed which should interest almost every Wilkes student. The club's initials are A.S.A. - Apathetic Students Anonymous. That's right! Now you can become a member of this overpopulated organization which has infiltrated every aspect of life at Wilkes. Joining is easy. You don't have to do anything. Simply because you don't care makes you a chart-er member. Additionally, since everyone involved is apathetic, there will be no regular meetings. All you have to do is stay where you are. The meetings are wherever two or more of you are gathered - be it in Stark Lobby, Student Center, cafeteria or wherever. You also save yourself a lot of money. Due to the wonderfully apathetic attitude, there will be no dues, because there are no activities. Just think, no pesky president bothering you to participate in something - there's nothing to participate in. As an extra-added benefit, you can list in on your resume as an extra-curricular activity. Think how impressed a prospective employer or grad school will be when you explain the prestige and scope of A.S.A. Belongin~ to the club obviously doesn't hurt - but t~en, it doesn'thelp either. Gue•t Editorial--------- Education & Values ' . . To many people, a college education is seen as a means by which good employment may be obtained. However, such education should be more than this. It should be the beginning of a life-long learning process, an opportunity to gain the skills of good citizenship and a chance to acquire social understanding so that life may . be more meaningful. By working toward a reaffirmation of values, Wilkes College is taking a significant step in ensuring that these goals can be obtained by the students of this College. Values can and should be an integral part of the learning process and it is especially important that students become actively involved in the work toward a recommitment of values. Students can become involved in many ways. First, through active participation in campus activities and organizations, one has a tremendous opportunity to not only gain valuable insight into a field of study, but also to develop an understanding of working in an organization. This is especially important, because most people will spend a great deal of time in organizational activity as they begin their careers. Involvement in the community is also important. By working ,within a community, by being involved in its activities, the opportunity is available to affect real changes - to have influence on the future. Everyone can be a central part of their community and we must not be afraid to accept - the responsibility that that citizenship ifivolv~s. Finally, responsibility for personal actions and concern for the rights of others is central to this concern with values. As members of an academic institution, you must ensure that your behavior is reasonable and that your actions do not violate the rights of those around you. Consideration for others should be constant - not left behind when we go to classes, to the residence hall, to a social function. Through a recommitment to these and other values, we can be certain of many opportunities. The understanding that will be gained will be more valuable than that of any formal discipline and will surely help students toward the basic goal of a Wilkes Colleg,, education that of being a truly educated individual.

SG, Cue and Curtain ••••••••••••••..•....••••••.•••••.•••••••••••• Features Wide Range Of Talent, Style ' .Dinner Theatre Successful What better setting for the debut of the Wilkes Dinner Theatre than a cold, crisp, starlit November evenIng. With Student Government supplying the dinner and Cue-n£urtain the theatre, the joint effort was a ' clear-cut success. The menu featured a c:hoice' of. chicken, ham or veal with green beans almondine and scalloped potatoes and dessert. The meal was thoroughly enjoyed by approimately 75 people, served by dedicated members of the sponsoring organizations. "The Broadway Sweeper," written by Frank Kren, began a little after 8 p.m. and proceeded to bring the audience to their feet upon the closing number. The show, a great collection of Broadway tunes, nowed as the Broadway Sweeper himself, "Harry," played by Chris Lonstrup, reminicsed of shows gone by. Chris, as usual, turned in an excelleilt performance as the scruffy cleaning man with fond memories. The "openin' " number featured the entire cast performing the Cole• Porter tune from ."Kiss Me Kate," "Another Openin', Another Show." This set the mood and made the audiences want more. .In reference to when Harry got jealous of other men looking at his wife, "Blanche," the next song was "I Still Get Jealous" from "High Button Shoes." Frank Kren and Marie Boyle were featured and handed in formidable performances. Dume Hartdagen and · Russell Curtis triumphed as the m:ain par- ticipants in Irving Berlin's "Doin What Comes Naturally" from "Annie Get Your Gun." Talent and energy abounded from the rest of the cast which included : Tom Butcher, Larson Orehotsky, Sue Har•rison, Donna Pioppi and Frank Kren. Tom Butcher took to the stage for a solo from the classic "Finian's Rainbow." A bit nervous but worthy rendition of "Ole Devil Moon" prevailed. Harry, thinking of how great it is to rub elbows with the big shots and be around the pretty girls, led to the realization of "There's Nothing Like a Dame." The male performers, Tom Butcher, Russell Curtis, Steven DiRocco, Fr~nk Kren, Mark Menges and Larsen Orehotsky lamented about how it is to be a sailor without a 'r'dame." The number was an unbeatable rousing performance by all. . The "My Fair Lady" hit "Wouldn't It Be Lovely" was perfected by the flower peddling Becky Bolinski. Following with another stunning solo wa~ Stenen DiRocco with "The Impossible Dream" from the "Man of La Mancha." DiRocco's performance was definite plus to the show. "Love Song" gave Diane Hartdagen and Russell Curtis an opportunity to shine in this duet by candlelight. Here, Harry looked back upon the love between his parents. Up next, Harry assisted Becky Bolinski (and her lovely yellow feathers ) concerning the woes o~ brin~ n~ un "Kids" ,_,...,.. The Showcase Theatre will perform "Tribute" on Nov. 22 and 23 at 8 p.m. in Church Hall. This comedy by Bernard Slade, a perfect blend of uproaring laughter and heart-rending pathos, is about a man who has lived his first fifty years treating life as a comedy, only to discover the ending has been rewritten as a tragedy. The Paper Bag Players-Children's Theatre will perform Nov. 22, 23, 24 in he CPA. Times for the event are : Saturday 7:30 p.m., Sunday 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. and Monday 1 p.m. For ticket information, contact the Wilkes-Barre Chapter of Hadassah. ''Bye, Bye Birdie." Setting the women's lib movement a few steps backward and the audience into laughter and resounding applause, Russeel Curtis, Frank Kren and Dr. Mike O'Neill came through with flying colors with "Everybody Oughta Have a Maid." The three men were fantastic in presenting an almost logical case of the benefits a maid would produce. True talent coming forth, Frank Kren was center stage with " It- Only Takes a Moment" from "Hello Dolly." Kren did total"justice to the Jerry Herman tune, adding a great grin. The final two numbers, "Grease's" "We Go Together" and "Give My Regards to Broadway" from "Little Johnny Jones" were excellents as all cast members were utilized and hard work was evident in all areas choreography, Sue Harris ton and Donna Pioppi; piano accompanists, Mark Reddington and Tony Reeves; directed by Bruce Phair ; technical direction, Curt Shrawder; electrician, Tom .Quinn; make-up by Rebecca Schmidt; and stage manager Rebecca Toten and assistant Anna Mae Stanley. All members of the Student Government and Cue-n-Curtain must be certainly be commended for showing the campus what a little ingenuity and a lot of hard work and talent will produce - a stunning evening of student talent.

IOOKS-RECOROS-TAPES US-4767 Oiff and Monarch Notes You may think she is a sad cherub adorned with flowers, or recognize her as the head from Durer's "Melancholia," but to artists, she is the "pinup girl of all printmakers.'' This pinup girl heralds in a new art exhibit in the Sordoni Art Gallery. "Artists Who Make Prints" features a wide variety of styles and techniques presently used in modem printmaking. The exhibit brings together high energy works by artists from a wide range of ages (from 20-80 years old) of nationality (Chinese, Polish, Spanish, Japanese, South American) and of both sexes. Some artists exclusively make prints while others incorporate printmak, ing in their artistic output. Some of their prints look like paintings, while others look like prints. The original exhibit, which opened In the Federal Building in New York City in October, consists of two works by each artist. This was done to enable viewers to see the artist's thinking more clearly. Unfortunately, The Sordoni Art Gallery cannot house more than 80 large prints (some of these prints are over four feet tall) so the art gallery here will exhibit one half of the original prints in the original show, while the Brooklyn Law School will show the other half. The show will come together in Fordham University at Lincoln Center in the spring. Another interesting feature of this show is that it is curated by an artist, Ms. Berenice D'Vorzon, associate professor of art at Wilkes and a member of the Organization of Independent Artists, the sponsoring organization. The O.1.A. is a loosely organized group which sponsors art exhibits in public places, alternates spaces for artists and helps artists get started. According to Ms. D'Vorzon, the O.1.A. is interested in artist-curated exhibits because they feel that artists choosing works have a different attitude than commercial galleries, and the artist-will be able to identify works that have not been exhibited. All shows sponsored by the O.1.A. are artist-curated. , An advantage of reproductions such as those in the show, is that they bring the price down and make them accessible to the middleincome collector. Original prints may easily cost over $3000, while reproductions may only be around $500. In conjunction with this exhibit, Wilkes will also feature H. _Kaspar Hort, who is one of the exhibitors, and a Swiss silkscreen artist and painter. He will give a lecture and slide show at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 20 in SLC 1. He will also give a demonstration and workshop in the Print Shop, SLC 7: There will be a reception at the Print Exhibition in the art gallery at 4:30 p.m. Letter Of Tlaanlcs Prof Enjoys Show To the Editor: To the Editor: I would like to extend congratulaI would like to congratulate the tions to Curtis Richardson on his faculty and students who parwmnmg the Sexiest-Legs-on-a- ticipated in the one act play Football-Player Contest.

The year 1980 has been a great year for former California Govenor Ronald Reagan. In June of this year, he won the Republican nomination for the Presidency of the United States. As the year drew further to a close, Reagan's hopes and dreams became clearer. On November 4, he won the Presidency with a landslide victory over the incumbent President Jimmy Carter. Yes, 1980 was great year for Ronald Reagan, and the following four years of office may be great also. Or will they? These years of power and honor may turn into ones of horror. They may turn into a nightmare, not because of risiQg inflation, a bad foreign policy;· or a bad economy, but beacause of the presidential "ZER,O FACTOR." This "ZERO FACTOR" hsa plagued presidents for, every twenty years since 1840 and the short term of President William Henry Harrison. What is this mysterious "ZERO FACTOR" that takes lives of America's most important men? The "ZERO FACTOR" involves the dimension of time. the predictable zodiac, and a simple astrological phenomena called the con. junction of Jupiter and Saturn. The Jupiter-Saturn conjunction, or the time when the planets lie in a straight line with the sun, happens every twenty years and since 1840, a president has died in office every twenty years!

Concluding, Dean Hoover suggested that the Board members try to "identify and develop some leadership" for next year's Student Center Board, as many of this year's members are seniors.

Seven of these nine presidents have died in office .for one reason or another. These facts and more to come are almost unbelievable. William Henry Harrison was the first president to die in office, the oldest . man to become president (68) until the election of Ronald Reagan, and the president who served the shortest term in office. Harrison's d' ath was due to his catching of a simple cold·on his inauguration day, or was it due to a mysterious Indian curse? , On November 7, 1811, government troops outnumbered and c~ushed Shawnee Indians in the battle of Tippecanoe. The battle was caused because of Harrison's banning of liquer to the Indians and the giving of 2,900,000 acres of Indian land to the settlers. During this confrontation, a Shawnee Indian named The Prophet was said to have put a curse on Harrison and the white man. To some people, President Harrison's death from pneumonia thirty-one days after he had caught a simple cold was mysterious, but an acceptable happening. To others, it was the ancient Indian curse - THE "ZERO FACTOR". ,· The most mysterious part of the "ZERO FACTOR" comes accompanied with the idea of history repeating itself. The history surrounding President Abraham Lincoln and his counterpart John F. Kennedy is even more mysterious than Harrison's. Abe Lincoln, an Aquarian, was elected to the Presidency in the year 1860, while John Kennedy was elected to the same position one hundred years later in 1960. This factor of one hundred years and history repeating itself is prevalent throughout their Presidential histories. In 1847, Lincoln was elected to Congress. One hundred years late in 1947, John Kennedy was elected to Copgress. The one hundred year factor goes on even further. John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin, was born in 1839, while Kennedy's assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was born in 1939. In both cases, the deceased presidents were succeeded by Southerner's with the last name of Johnson ; Andre Johnson who was born in 1808 and Lyndon Johnson who was born in 1908. President Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy who asked him not to go to the play at Fords Theater, and Kennedy had a secretary named Lincoln who requested he not go to Dallas. Are these facts merely coincidence, or was it the "ZERO FACTOR"? John Kennedy knew about this "ZERO FACTOR" and commented, "I'm going to break the jinz," He did not! With all this past us, but the "ZERO FACTOR" upon us, what is 1980-81 going to bring us ? This year, the "ZERO FACTOR" has an important variation. From 1840-1960, the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occured in the zodiological earth-signs. This year, it is in the constellation of Libra, an air sign. This could make a difference if the president is not a Libra. Sydney O'Marr writes in his book Weekly Astrological Guide for Sagittarius 0979): " The man elected in 1980, according to what we have learned from the past, has less chance of surviving than if elected at another time. Furthermore, if the man elected president of the United States happens to be an Aquarian or a Libran, the odds multiplyagainst his leaving office alive." The two candidates for President in 1980 w~re Jimmy Carter.and Ronald Reagan. Carter is a Libran and Reagan is an Aquarian. These facts strengthen the theory of the "ZERO FACTOR" by telling us whichever man was elected, he would not serve his full term . O'Marr also writes: "A Jupiter-Saturn conjunction occurs this year. The man elected president of the United States will not survive his term or terms in office ... I feel this is especially applicable should the person be an Aquarian. " The United States has had four presidents who were born ·Aquarians. They were all elected during the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction and not one left his office alive. Ronald Reagan is an Aquarian and he was also elected during a Jupiter-Saturn conjunction. On November 4th, Ronald Reagan was elected by the people to be the President of the United States. Or, was he elected by fate to follow the other "ZERO FACTOR" presidenls. Every fourty years _an Aquarian like Reagan was and has been elected into office and then later died in office. Will the 1980 "ZERO FACTOR" prove that history repeats itself or will Ronald Reagan do what John Kennedy could not do - break the jinx.

Amidst this confusion was a tall man sweeping the floor for an upcoming basketball practice. The man was head coach Ron Righter and he had plenty to say about his 1980-81 basketball team. Coach Righter came to Wilkes late last summer. Since then he has turned the Colonel sports program upside down or I should say " tight side up. " The former St. Joe's standout took over a basketball team that was going nowhere and.in only one year gave them a bright future to look forward to. Last year the Colonels surprised everyone by having their best season since 1975. The most memorable event in Colone! history occurred last year when Wilkes beat cross town rival King's College for the first time in over 30 years. Coach Righter Jost three lettermen from last year's team but he has made up for it by bringing eight new players to help in the 1980-81 season. "I didn't get a chance to recruit last year because I was hired late, but I hope this year's recruiting will make up for last year's non-recruiting." Coach Righter has built the Colonels into a recruiting years Wilkes has ever posit10n. had.

If Wilkes is to have a good season they will need McCarrie's excellent eye for the basket and his tremendous leadership qualities. The tallest guard in the MAC had a 15.0 average last year and he has already helped the younger players on the team with his experience and winning attitude. Co-captain Tony Madden joined the team late because of a prior commitment as a star tight-end on the Wilkes football squad. Madden was the top rebounder for the Colonels -last season and he will be in top shape by next week when the team plays. their first game. Junior Kevin" J .J ." Walker hails from Springfield, New Jersey and he will be the big man for Wilkes this year. The 6-7 center has been working very hard in practice and he looked to be a better player than last year. Junior guard Pat Mccue led Wilkes in both assists and steals last year and he still has speed to burn when the Colonels need a fast break. MeCue will be fighting for the point guard position with sophomore , Ross Zanghi, · a 5-5 guard from Scranton.

When the final whistle blew to end the last game of the season, the Wilkes soccer team that left the foeld after a 0-0 draw against Dickinson was a far cry from the team which had such high hopes and morale at the season's start. The final record - 12 losses, 2 wins andldraw. Many agree that Wilkes had a potentially superb team this year. A good number of the players had fine individual skills. The question then is, if this was so, why the tattered record? Coach Ernesto Lopez attributes it to lack of team spirit and maturity. "I made the-mistake of thinking that I had mature people on the team, but now I see that I was wrong and there are going to be changes in the future," he said. This analysis was a good one. The team was ridden with htolerance, a continual search for scapegoats when things went wrong early in the season, and a very immature way of dealing with problems. Of the three captains, only one, Mike Karns, showed any leadership and set the team standards. The others were either too eager to be viewed as "nice guys" at the expense of the solidarity of fhe team or actively participated in yelling and bickering, which could be heard at almost all practices and games. In the end, , players boycotted and deserted the team. Those who stayed on became constantly and nervously on guard against making mistakes and thereby eliciting a yell from others. The result was that their game deteriorated by leaps and bounds. In the end, the team became but a shadow of its old self. But why were the troublemakers not thrown off the team? It just happened that there were some of the veteran players who eveyone felt were indispensable, and their realization of this became · translated by them into license for the blatant harassment of the newer players. These problems have finally led Coach .Lopez to declare that there will be sweeping changes . next season. Mike Karns will hopefully be back to again lead the team, and the coach expressed his hopes that this will help to make things better. Among the major changes will be that any player who feels indispensable and attempts to resurrect the bickering of this season will kindly be asked to leave the team in peace and find some other place to practice this. Happily for most of the players, those who indulged in this will not be with the team next year, and a few have expressed hope for the better future seasons. Anthony D.

The Wilkes women are playing well together, have a lot of team spirit, and have the determination to win! All these factors should contribute toward a winning season for Wilkes women's basketball . On Thursday, Nov. 13, the women's basketball team traveled to play their first scrimmage. Although this was only a practice scrimmage, the girls showed their impressive talents by drowning Dickinson in five quarters, 111-66. Coach Nancy Roberts commented on the girls' stamina during the scrimmage, saying that they showed a good amount of en- durance and determination. She said she was especially pleased to see how well the team played together for their first time out on the court. She sid that the freshmen wree excellent players, and that the upperclassmen were better than ever. "The girls are working as a team," Coach Roberts commented. "There are a lot of freshmen on the team who promise Wilkes a bright future in women's basketball. They · are determined and hard-working. I believe we have, the potential for a · very good season as long as the girls continue playing together as a team and combine their individual talents."

Professor Richards from the math department and Bob Rushworth from WCLII radio correctly identified the former Colonel athlete as Jim Ferris, the current principal of Wyoming Valley West High School. Ferris' picture has the distinction of being the quickest identified memory photo thus far this year. Mr. Richards identified the photo as soon as the BEACON 'S appeared on campus. Can so!lleone be quicker ? This week' s photo is an easy one to set the new record with. TAKE A GOOD LOOK AND NAME THAT PHOTO! The Blue and Gold ended their 1980 gridiron campaign with a thrilling 9-7 victory over the Crusaders of Susquehanna Univesity in a special Friday night game at Selinsgrove. Susquehanna took an early lead in the game when freshm an Hank Belcolle plunged over the goal line from one yard out with 11: 17 left to play in the second quarter. F rank Riggitano split the uprights for the extra-point to put the Crusaders ahead 7-0. This was all the scoring that was to take place in the first half as the Colonel defense stopped all other Crusader drives, and the Colonel defense was stifeld by Susquehanna's defensive eleven. During the first half, the Blue and Gold's defense had a number of great plays, including an excellent defensive secondary play by Ray . MASTER DISTRIBUTOR CASE BEVERAGE CO. -·Kingston, PA Now Available on Draught lll,■;W#WiU:!14■h¥11·ii!d § i BIi Boudreau. None the less, the first half ended with Susquehanna on top 7-0. The thrid quarter saw a great defensive battle between the two teams, as neither offense was able to mount any type of serious scoring threat. This defensive mastery flowed into the fourth quarter until the Crusaders were able to get close enough for a 25-yard field goal attempt. The hopes of Susquehanna putting the game out of reach fluttered as Riggitano's boot was wide to the left. The missed three-pointer seemed to put life into the Colonel team as starting quarterback George Hall led the Blue and Gold 74 yards, capped by Carmen LoPresto's five yard run for the touchdown. The Colonels' first attempt at two points was good, but it was erased by offsetting penalites. The second shot at the two point conversion was no good, leaving the score at 7-6 in favor of Susquehanna. The Colonel defense met the task head-on of stopping the Crusader offense on the initial set of downs, forcing the Crusaders to punt the ball away with 2:15 left to play in the game. The Colonels put together a brilliant drive, moving the ball down to the Crusaders' 14yard line. With five seconds left in the game, senior Vince Savoca was called upon to try a 31-yard field goal. Savoca, who was not called upon much during the season to · kick three-pointers, split the goal posts with the final boot of his Colonel career to give the Blue and Gold a season finishing 9-7 triumph over Susquehanna University. The victory ended the Colonels; 1980 campaign at 3-6, with an MAC record of 3-4. FOR YOUR INFORMATION : George Hall played the entire game for the Colonels, hitting on four of 14 for 32 yards while picking up_ 94 yards on the ground ... " Homer" LoPresto ended his final game at Wilkes in top form , rushing for 167 yards on 27 carries ...The entire Colonel defense was simply outstanding ...Savoca's field goal had to be the most exciting play of the season ...A great amount of credit must be given to the strutters, majorettes and cheerleaders for cheer- ing the team on throughout the year. No value can be placed on the value of these girls and Colonel fans should be very proud of them ...The Wilkes' band was simply tremendous this year. Not only did they fill the air with high quality music, but they were very entertaining to watch as well. Hats off to this very special group of people ...Special thanks to the 'BEACON spotters.

Lisa Gurka In an effort to gather facts about advisor-advisee relationships, all Student Government representatives were given a packet of questionnaires to administer to students this week. The questionnaire asks the student specific questions about his or her academic advisor such as : "What do you expect your advisor . to do for you?" and "Has your advisor met these expectations?" Other questions include: "When is your first encounter with your advisor each semester? Who makes the first contact? Did your advisor make an effort to know you? Did you make an effort to know your advisor? Why? Is your advisor's attitude positive toward his position · of advising? Do you feel your advisor has adequate knowledge of curriculem requirements? If you initiate a conversation about career objectives, is your advisor willing to discuss this matter?" The questionnarie concludes with a space for comments. SG President Joe Galli asked that all representatives find people to fill out all of the questionnaires, and he asked that the representatives bring the completed questionnaires to next Monday night's SG meeting so that SG can discuss the results of the questionnaire and make some conclusions based on their findings, about the role of the academic advisor as seen by the students. SG will try to formulate a list of recommendations for the procedure of advising. A student proposal has already been brought Communications Studies------- Program Suffers Setback; Grant Proposal Refused T.1e communication studies program was delivered another setback in its attempt to come up with the needed funds for a proposed television-radio station. A grant proposal submitted to the Appalachian Regional Committee, based on the information the staff had provided, was recently turned down. According to Dean of Management, Dr. Andrew Shaw, the reason the grant was turned down was because it did not meet the criteria. Reports indicated that the money was available and the grant had "a pretty good chance" of being passed. Also, the college received inNOTICE Tonight at 9 p.m. there will be a meeting for all those interested in making plans for working on Winter Weekend. The meeting will be held in the first floor lounge of Sterling Hall. Come with ideas. formation that the grant was on a prioroty list, and this was sufficient for it to be forwarded for state review. "It was our understanding that it was in Harrisburg and being reviewed there," reported Dean Shaw. However, the college subsequently found out that the priority assigned to the grant was not large enough for it to be submitted to Harrisburg. Dean Shaw went on to say that the reviewing body failed to inform the college of that fact. A follow-up showed that there is little hope of getting approval because of not meeting the cirteria and the low priority assigned to the grant proposal. Dean Shaw stated that, at this time, the college is not optomistic of receiving the funding. He further commented that there are politics involved, and there are also more applications for funding than there is available money. As a result, many projects were put aside. Lisa Gurka before SG, but it will be subjected to revision before action is taken on the matter by the Academic Standards Committee. The proposal that was submitted includes recomendations concerning the roles of the Admissions Office, . Department Chairman and faculty advisor. The proposal also suggests that students who do not declare a major should be assigned a faculty advisor instead of using the present system in which the Deans of Student Affairs serve as academic advisors to those students. Again, the proposal is not complete since it is subject to revision .. A more detailed explanation of the proposal will be available after it is revised. In other business .at this week's SG meeting, SG Vice-President Marla Brodsky requested that $100 be given to the group sponsoring the dinner-theater this weekend. The event is being sponsored by a group of SG representatives acting through the SG social committee. Different groups will sponsor events at different times throughout the year, and each group has been budgeted $215 for its event. Brodsky explained that the money will be used only if needed, and the unused portion will be returned to SG. IRHC President Janine Tucker questioned the fund request, asking if the same thing would happen when the other groups sponsored their events. Joe Galli closed and opened the meeting so that a vote could be taken on the request this week. Tucker again raised the same que&Uon and Galli responded that when the groups were budgeted the $215, it was decided that if more money was ever needed, it could be granted. Tucker than made a motion to grant the request and it was put to a vote _and unanimously passed. Under committee reports, film committee chairman Elaine Ker-· chusky announced that $62 · was made from the showing of "Kentucky Fried Movie" this past weekend. Also, two weeks ago when "Alien" was shown, $57 was made. Rob Doty, reporting for the publicity and elections committee, reported that a three-sided central bulletin board would cost .about $2,100 and would be too expensive. However, the senior class is trying to raise funds to help pay for the bulletin board, but the plans have been changed to cut costs. The new plans call for a two-sided bulletin board with a roof covering both. sides. Ana Nunez of the constitution committee read the proposed constitution of the English Club for the first time. The constitution will be read a second time next week and then voted on. John Finn announced that COPUS will sponsor a pizza party on Thursday, Nov. 20 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the basement of the Student Center. It will be an all-youcan-eat affair of pizza and root beer. Cost is $2. Under new business, Joe Galli announced that this year's evaluations of representatives will be done differently. According to Galli, he cannot see giving each representative a grade and publishing the grades. Instead, he will have a conference with each representative to assess the job he or she has done this semester. Galli also announced that since the COPUS Office has moved from the second floor of Weckesser Hall to the Student Center, the old COPUS Office will be fixed up and used as a conference room for SG, Commute·r Council and InterResidence Hall Council. Dean Art Hoover announced that for the first time a pep band will hopefully play at basketball games this year. Hoover also noted that on Nov. 22 there will be an Alumni Wrestling Meet in they gym. Since · it is sponsored by the Grappler's Club, college I.D. cannot be used to get in and an admission of $1 will be charged to everyone. Louis Czachor ci.,1,·a ..,.. loealArea Over the fall break, 1Al students of the Earth and Environmental Science Club and four professors camped out at the Tubbs, in order to try to turn the 525 acre site into a county park. While staying there, the club made soil and water tests, made and mapped trails and did surveying work. The biggest problem facing the club was cleaning up the badly littered area. Club president Cathy Ochs said, "We cleaned up a lot, but there is still more we didn't have time to get." Everyone seemed proud of their work. In just four days they filled four trash cans, seven garbage bags and two large b<_>xes, consisting of both aluminum and tin cans and bottles. Even after the members of the club picked up the litter, their job was not completed. They had to separate the glass by color, either green, broWn or clear. They also had to separate the cans between aluminum and tin. · The members of the club feel that _students can help the recycling project by putting their bottles and cans in the trash baskets or, if they want to, they can bring it to the Earth and Environmental Science Club.

Those departments are: fine arts, history, political science, sociology and anthropology, physics, and music. Although they are termed "decreasing departments" in this article, these departments may be offering majors which have become stable or have begun to show signs of an increase during the last one or two years in terms of the numbers of students selecting that major. They have been called decreasing because the fact is that the figures used in this series are from the last fourteen years, and have indicated that, for more than half of that time, the departments in question have decreased significantly in terms of the number of majors. Fine Arts Dr. William Sterling, ehariman of the fine arts department, explained that two factors have contributed to the decline in the number of art majors. Sterling indicated that the first factor is that "the department previously was training people for teaching in primary and secondary schools." He commented, "There was a great demand for art teachers eight or ten years ago, and now there are fewer opportunities.'' The second factor is that students are concerned about getting jobs and, as a result, do not select majors in liberal arts as much as they used to. Sterling pointed. out, however, that the dim outlook is exaggerated. "There are more jobs than students· realize," he· a,dded. Some of these jobs are in commercial art, advertising, publishing, newspapers, television, any business dealing with photography, and display .artists in department stores. The department chairman stated that he is hopeful that there will not be further decreases in the number of majors, and a stronger effort will have · to be made to recruit students. He added that the art program is very strong and flexible enough for students to go into any one of many areas of art upon graduation. ~-;~m; Go;;erie:i ·~ And Imports • Featuring local Art • Affordable Hand Woven Rugs & Bedspreads from India • Handmade Jewelry • Writing Paper by the Pound • Unus_ual Yarns by the Ounce • B. Kliban Cat Items • Unique Handmade Gifts Wlllce1•Bo"e Center 41 Public Square Willce1-Borre, Po. I The. department has a lot going for it, too. It has very modern facilities and excellent equipment along with a good faculty-student ratio. Sterling concluded that most students have been successful, but it is getting increasingly difficult for them to find particular jobs they are looking for. Also, a small number of art graduates do go on to graduate school, although they often wait a few years after graduation. History History Department Chairman James Rodechko noted that the decline in those wanting to be teachers has paralleled .the decline in the number of history majors. Another factor contributing to the decline is that many students do not believe that there are job opporutnities in history. Rodechko commented th~t the "number of possibilities are virtually endless" as demonstrated by the fact that Wilkes has "graduates in virtually every walk of life." Jobs open to history majors include . almost everything from account executive to atheltic director, lawyer to journalist, and professor to banker. In the future, Rodechko expects the number of history majors to increase. He explained that history is inately interesting and the job market indicates there will be jobs for history majors and less need for specialists in other areas. Rodeehko finished by saying that fewer history graduates are going on to graduate schools no~ than they used to. Those who do go enter in other disciplines, such as law, urban lanning, master of business Enrollment By Major From 1967 Throagh 1980 Major 1967 ---1117 1118 19B 197t 1971 lfl? 1973 IIH 1971 1977 1971 lffl ·- B■siHSS B■siness E1gllsh E1glis~ Busiaess llielogy Blelogy Bielogy Blelogy Naniag Naniag Naniag 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 144 127 94 160 118 93 97 80 74 59 50 46 43 K6 64 42 36 Z9 26 9 23 18 17 19 29 20 20 16 I02 118 84 55 39 28 34 1311 151 187 28 9 II 22 16 . 79 112 106 . 112 113 Physics 36 31 39 48 42 31 16 18 26 25 22 15 19 18 Political Science Social Science 72 76 75 .84 89 . 84 !13 88 62 59 54 57 54 50 42 32 20 17 14 22 19 l!I 12 IO 3 2 Sociology 109 86 IU8 142 146 133 90 67 60 45 44 53 43 28 Music M uslc Education 110 129 . 0 Sociology and Anthropology administration, an museum work. Music Although there have been fewer music majors in recent years, there has been some indication that that trend will be reversed. According to music department chairman Dr. Terrance Anderson, there has been a 115 · percent increase in the number of students in this year's freshman class than in last year's. Anderson noted that he is optimistic about the future, and while he is not concerned about the number of music majors, he expeels enough growth to utilize the Darte Hall facilities to the fullest. As far as the job market is con• cerned, Anderson explained that teaching is one of the more traditional areas tht students have been interested in. Teaching music, however, is not limited to public school teaching. Music majors can teach on the college level after obtaining -an advanced degree, or can teach~pi11no or give othe_f private music lessons. There are 'also job opportunities in the music industry in merchandising and recording, and promotion for commercials. In addition, jobs are available in the .

Anderson pointed out that he and the rest of the music faculty place their concern on the quality of the students rather than on the number of students. He added that the academic curriculum is what draws the serious students to the department, and the department is recruiting these students in 28 to 30 states this year. Physics the revival of interest in political science and the new track that the department has initiated that is specifically geared toward public administration and policy analysis. Driscoll pointed out that political science majors find jobs in public service including not only the federal government, but state and local governments as well as administrative work in hospitals, social welfare agencies and schools. In addition, most jobs in commu~ications industries require at least some knowledge of political science. Also, political science is a good preparation for law school, and there is always some need for teachers. The department chairperson added that the small classes in the upper level courses serve as an incentive for students to major in political science. Also, scholarships are avaailable to graduates and , there are assistantships positions in graduate schools·. Hr addition,f there are a number of positions available for co-op credit or departmental credit. The physics department is another department which, although it has seen a decline in the number of majors through most of the past several years, has shown some signs of stabilization or even possibly an increase in the number of majors. Dr. Francis Donahoe, chairman of the physics department, stated that in the department the "enrollment flucuates very widely for apparent reasons as compared with . the rest of the college:" He pointed out that the main reason the department loses students is that the students do not get the financial aid Sociology and Anthropology that they need. He feels that more Sociology and Anthropology aid should be tied to scholarship than need.

He joined the Polish resistance, witnesed the Ghetto Uprising of 1943, and'was jailed by the 'Gestapo during the years that · most teenagers are attending school, football games and proms. When he was released by the Gestapo, he fought with the Polish Home Army in its heroic two-month long battle with the German Army in Warsaw in the Summer of 1944. Captured again, Kulski was remanded to a prisoner of war camp before he was 16 years of age. He lived the nightmare of these camps until he was liberated by the American Army in 1945. During this time, he kept a diary of the day-today life and experience of prisoners. His detailed account, written at such a young age, is surprisingly mature and adds to the poignancy. As Kulski observed in an interview with Mitzi Brunsdale of the Houston Post, "It is now (40 years after the war) harder than ever to · fully perceive and accept the inhumanity of that war-time period. I want to let my experiences stand in memory of my comrades, and the countless other brave people of Warsaw, · who symbolize the triumph of the human spirit over oppression and terror." Julian Eugeniusz Kulski is now a practicing architect and a professor of urban and regional planning and works extensively in · developing countries throughout the world as a consultant architect for several United Nations Agencies. He lives in Northern Virginia. Admission to the lecture and a · reception immedfately following the lecture· is free and open to the public. Workshop Performs Six Short Plays I guess you can call this my "follow-up" article. In last week's Beacon I told you about a· unique theatre workshop that was -to be performed this weekend. Well, it was unique, and different, and certainly not what I expected! I am not a trained theatre critic, so I am not going to comment on the individual actors' performances; besides some of those people on the stage were my friends. However, I can honestly say, and I'm sure the audience would agree with me, that the overall performance was very effective. I entered the • theatre Saturday night just as the clock was striking 8. I ran up the steps to the auditorium, and wondered if there would be any seats left. Well, there were plenty! As a matter of fact, the whole auditorium was empty and the stage was filled with people! I was handed a folding chair and quickly sat down on the stage. The lights directly above me dimmed, and I heard the stage manager, who was sitting directly behind me, whisper "Warning Cue I...". The first thing that struck me about "Next," the first performance, was that it was so vivid and true-to-life. There were no fancy props, the lighting was bright and harsh, I could see the scuff marks on the wooden stage floor, yet I really felt I was in the examining room with Mr. Marion Cheever. Mr. Cheever was deliberately trying to "flunk" his physical so that he wouldn't be drafted into the war. The play started out on a comic I felt "The Indian Wants the ·note.

Six years and eight months later Henry Aaron stood before 1,000 en- FF=====C thusiastic fans at the Wilkes College gymnasium. The quiet, reserved superstar ,shared his experiences with the crowd and told them of a dream he once had as a child. "I wanted to be a professional baseball player ever since I · was seven years old." His dream came true when at the age of seventeen he signed his first professional ampusCommentar Tlae Carter Administration President Carter will not have a second term in office. This has been the decision of the elector'ate, and democracy will run its course. His overwhelming defeat at the polls made it abundantly clear that the voters of this nation want new leadership. It also made it abundantly clear that his mistakes have alienated his 1976 election campagin supporters en masse. That every man has his mistakes is a usually accepted fact, and that every man, despite his mistakes, has some good is an often easily forgotten fact. Speaking to the Romans after the assassination of Caesar, Marc Antony made the point that men's good if oft interned with them. Obviously it is not yet time to bury James Earl Carter-what is soon to be buried is his presidency. During the past four years the world has seen history making dramatic turns. First there was Opec hiking oil prices, then there was the Islamic revolution in Iran and last but not least, there was the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. For the first time in history, developing nations clutched the developed by their throats. For the first time since Vietnam, the prospect of America being involved in conflict outside this nation's boundary hovered in the wake of the American Embassy staff's captivity in Iran, and, for the first time since the Cuban Missile Crisis, Soviet-American relations chilled almost to the Cold War level. These crises were a major test of diplomacy for President Carter. For many, it would have been easy enough to use political blackmail on the Opec countries, to send troops to Iran or to send arms to the Afghan guerillas. Only a few far-sighted individuals saw the implications of impulsive action, the bloody consequences of invading Iran, and the prospect of precipitating genocide on an even greater scale in Afghanistan by sending arms to guerillas attempting to break the military stranglehold-of a super-power far superior to them in firepower, mobility and all that goes with the conduct of war. Though James Earl Carter's mistakes have been many and perhaps infuriating at times, his achievements in the quest for the promotion of global peace and harmony deserve praise. The decisions of a superpower president regarding war and peace have global implications. The straits within which one in this position has to maneuver are filled with peril and a delicate touch. President Carter certainly maneuvered them with great restraint, foresight and forebearance. Anthony D. Sibiya contract for $5,000. The immortal home run king went on to break or share 21 major league records with the Braves and Milwaukee Brewers. It hurt Aaron to talk about his career because of the many hardships and discriminations he had to face . After 23 years as a player, Aaron still remembers when he had to sleep in separate hotels and take separate buses to the games. The toughest obstacle he had to face came after hitting his 600th home run. At this point in his career, the former Braves slugger was constantly hounded by the press and fans asking him the same questions over and over. "It got so bad I had to hide my kids." Aaron was receiving thousands of hate letters each day from people who did not want to see Ruth 's record broken. The pressure mounted with each home run and at one point Aaron's life was being threatened. Henry Aaron endured his struggle to become the greatest home run hitter of all time. However, Aaron was more relieved than happy about hitting his 715th home run. The superstar said his greatest thrill came in 1957 when he was voted MVP of the National League. A smile came to Henry Aaron's face when he was greeted by rousing applause from the crowd Showcase Theatre To Present Tribute " Showcase Theare will present its second production of the current season - "Tribute" - on Nov. 1416, with repeat performances the following weekend, Nov. 21-23, according to President Sylvia Savo!, Wilkes-Barre.

Aaron gave an inspiring speech with great poise and a sharp sense of humor. The 45-year-old slugger joked about never being able to visit the White House. After his 715 home run, he received a call from none other than President Nixon. The man who never told a lie invited Henry to have dinner with him at the White House when the season was over. However, before the season was finished, Nixon left office and Henry was out one trip to Washington. The same thing happened last year when Cyrus Vance invited Henry for dinner a week before he was ousted from the government. As it progressed, speech took more serious tone when Aaron told the audience that they could be anything they wanted. He also said if you have a dream you should do your best to make it a reality. The crowd was stunned when Aaron asked Qie audience to repeat three · times, "I am becoming my dream." Aaron's dream is what propelled him to such a great career in baseball and he wanted to share his dream with the young people in the audience. Aaron also said he made his career on his own. "I didn't need cigarettes, or dope, cocaine, whatever you call it today." He said these are distractions that can easily move you into despair. With all the talk going on about multi-million dollar salaries and no cut contracts, Henry Aaron was one player that was just happy to play in a baseball uniform. Aaron will always be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time and yet he was happy when his salary topped the $100,000 mark near the end of his career. Henry Aaron is not an opportunist but a loyal person to both his family and career. Many people forget that Aaron turned down 2 major league managing jobs because he thought it would take too much time away from his family life. Mr. Aaron may not be able to hit a curve ball anymore, but, as Director of Player Development for the Braves oranization, he now a helps young players achieve their dream. Baseball was always a dream for Henry Aaron and he worked hard to make it a reality. As the one time slugger stepped off the podium, he signed autographs for the 1,000 people in the audience and then flew back home to Alabama to spend time wjth his five children. I would like to thank Henry Aaron for sharing his dreams with us and proving that anything is possible if we try hard enough to achieve it. IN THE SPOTLIGHT- Among the many notable people in the audience was former Wilkes baseball coach Gene Domzalski. Mr. Domzalski playe<l professional baseball with Henry Aaron's brother Tom. He is currently Director of Career Planning for Wilkes. Last Wednesday was a strange night in the city of Wilkes Barre. While Henry Aaron was giving his speech, Tug McGraw was five blocks away giving a speech at the Gus Genetti Motor Inn. It was also ironic that Aaron gave his speech a day after Japan's home run king Sadaharu Oh retired from baseball. I would like to thank the Concert and Lecture Series for bringing sports greats Henry Aaron and Wilma Rudolph to Wilkes College. I also hope Henry will make it to the White House someday. ~ Bob Buchsbaum Chuclc Robbins... SPOITINC COODS COMPANY W~ActtplMlslH Clur,.MIIViM 39 Well Ma..et Street Wilkes-a.rre.

A member of the U.S. Marines Special Forces is secretly ordered on a mission deep into neighboring Cambodia to assassinate a renegade Green Beret colonel who has apparently gone insane and set up his own kingdom among primitive Asian Tribesmen. Before completing his assignment, the Marine learns that his taget, Colonel Kurtz, once a highly respected and intelligent man, is in the dregs of depravity because he has dared to explore his own soul, to search his own heart, and has ultimately found it hollow and dark. But more importantly, the Marine, through Kurtz, caught a glimpse of his own soul and found it, also empty. You may recognize this as the action in a recent movie, Apocalypse Now. You may not have known, however, that the director of that motion picture built his story almost exactly along the same plot line as Heart of Darkness, a novel published in 1902 and now a classic of English Literature. · Next semester, as part of the I.D.A. (Inter-Disciplinary Adventure), a two-year-old program at Wilkes, this subject will be explored in-depth in Dr. Robert Heaman 's class, "Imagination, the Subconscious, and Apocalypse Now." The program also offers two other topics-Ms. Judith Rasson's "Molly Maguires : Heroes or Heels? ," and Dr. Robert Freysinger's "Alternative Futures. " The Inter-Disciplinary Adventure program was funded last year by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The course was designed to present a variety of topics in semester length courses that would illustrate the similarity and relationship between all disciplines-philosophy, history, literature, science, psychology, etc.-which, on the surface, seem to be very dissimilar and unrelated. The course is open to any student on · a first come-first serve basis, but was primarily to provide "a chunk of the world freshmen can cope with," explained Ms. Hasson. . . Each course will explore one broad theme and all of its implications. The theme of "Imagination, the Unconscious, and Apocalypse Now" is how we arrive at truth. Dr. Heaman will explore a wide selection of material in addition to Heart of Darkness, including works by Freud, Carl Jung, poetry by Coleridge and Elliot, and music by the Beatles, Neil Young and Bob Dylan. Dr. Heaman will demonstrate that through imagination and control of the unconscious it is possible to "order reality." _ Dr. Rasson's theme in exploring the Molly Maguires will be "How we know what we know. " The course will explore how image and Di~i~ion Of Con~in~ing Edaca~ion Pro.g ram Considered 'Like The New Kid On The Block' An innovative program responding to the needs of the community is the Division of Continuing Education. According to Director, Dr. .Mahmoud Fahmy, the program is "like the new kid on the block. Continuing education, the growing edge of higher education, places emphasis on quality rather than quantity education. For instance, bird watching, wine tasting, and egg decorating are not going to be taught," stated Dr. Fahmy. Some courses are directed to people who are changing jobs or people acquiring a leisure life who want to use their time efficiently. A special aspect of the program is free of charge enrollment of senior citizens age 65 or over. One of the goals of the program is to become a public service to professional groups such as attorneys, accountants, brokers, counselors, nurses, and teachers. Another goal is the upgrading of the culture of Northeastern Pennsylvania by offering quality cultural classes in theater, English, music, and art. Continuing Education is a flexible program with no prerequisites and few rules or regulations. Upon completion of courses and seminars, students ·receive credit in the form of a Continuing Education Unit Certificate, which is nationally recognized. The Division of Continuing Education works with a " liason person" from each department of \. .{\ \-\Ot ?,?' 0 ,,tan ~ea? ·te \f'-Jn'. s,c\\,af\ Wilkes College. "These individual~ identify the potentialities of the department and may recommend professionals to teach in this division," said Dr. F ahmy. Besides the liason person, there is an advisory board which is headed by Horace Kramer. This board reviews all incoming information and suggestions for the program. Presently, Continuing Education staff are working on spring semester classes dealing with ballet, family structure, parenting, and art. Dr. Fahmy would like to commend the Institute of Regional Affairs, Dr. Shaw and his staff, the administration, Mary Argenio, Donna Riccetti, and Dorothy Sehl- ingman for their extensive cooperation and mutual support. Classes are open to the public high school students, college students, working men and women, and senior citizens. Women are especially encouraged to attend classes because there are classes designed especially for their needs. For more information, contact Dr. Fahmy at Franklin Hall, extension 220.

With several different methods of research, including a field trip to the town of Eckley, Pa. (home town of Molly Maguires) , Ms. Hasson will attempt to " crack open the case of the Molly Maguires." In "Alternative Futures for American Life," Dr. Freysinger will explore the possible directions which American social change may take in the light of the crises now experienced by our country. "After an in-depth analysis of our present problems-economic, international, cultural, political, psychological, and sexual-we will comtemplate the several realistic directions our society might take to resolve the crises and meet the challenges of the 21st century," Dr. Freysinger explained. A student who took the course last year commented about its results : "It has given me a totally unique insight into some things," remarked junior Rich Myers, "by presenting material in methods that wouldn't be presented in any other class." Myers feels the only drawback of the course is that it does not fulfill the core requirements of any major. However, students selecting this course do receive three credits. · · John Finn NOTICE There will be a meeting of all members of the Journalism Society Sunday, Nov. 16 at I p.m .

IOOKS-RECORDS-TAPES 125-4717 Oiff and Monarch Notes �Page 8, The Beacon, November 13, 1980 1980-81 Financial Aid Recipients Accounting Scholarships Awarded Must Show Academic Progress Students receiving financial aid for the current academic year are reminded that they must maintain "satisfactory academic progress" toward their degree objectives in order to continue receiving aid for next year (1981-82). All financial aid programs, including those funded by State and Federal governments, require that students earn-not merely attempt24 credits for each year of grant or lo~n funds received. This information is especially timely because of the Spring registration periods over the next two weeks for underclassmen. Seniors, of course, are not affected by the progression requirement because they will not be renewing their aids for 1981-82. What this means for the freshman, sophomore or junior, however, is that he must accqmulate at least 24 credits between September 1980 and August 1981 if he plans to use his aid programs during 1981-82. If, for example, a freshman student earns . 12 credits during his first semeste.r and another 12 during his second semester, he will have met the progression requirement and be eligible to receive his financial aid for next year. On the other hand, if he earns 12 credits during his first semester and only 9 during his second semester, he would not have fulfilled the progression requirement. He would then have to attend summer school-either at Wilkes or at another instituion if approved by a dean and his department-to make up the 3 credits he is lacking for progress. Most students, it should be noted, successfully meet the progresion requirement. According to information released by the College Financial Aid Office, only 15 to 20 students each year are affected. But for those students, the result can be unnerving as well as expensive. Suppose that the freshman student in the example cited above does not attend summer school, and appears on campus in September of 1981 having earned only 21 credits in his first two semesters. Because he would still be termed a freshman for financial aid purposes (having accumulated less than 24 credits), · he would not be able to use any financial aid during his Fall 1981 semester. In other words, he would be required to pay his bill in cash until he did complete enough credits to advance to the next higher academic level. At that point, he could again be eligible to receive financial aid. A work of caution: The student progressing at the rate of 24 credits per academic year, although meeting the financial aid require- Beacon Bits •••••••••••••••••• President Robert S.

The quarterback "calls all the shots" on the offensive- unit, and when the team scores, the quarterback getsmost of the recognition. However, many people don't realize there is a "signal caller" on the defensive unit as well. The man who calls all the defensive signals for the Wilkes football team is senior Glen Colvin. According to Coach Distasio, "Glen called an outstanding game this past Saturday.

Now that the 1980 women's field hockey season is complete; it seems appropriate that en editorial summary of the entire season be made. Last week at Ralston Field, the Colonelettes ended the year in the same fashion they began it - with a tie. The Wilkes-Lafayette contest ended with both teams scoreless, but Lafayette outshot the Lady Colonels 14-10. Wilkes' defense appeared mo~ organized this week and freshman goalie Valerie Frey finished the year by blocking 11 shots. Meyers said, "It's going to be a tremendous gap to fill in one year. If I start looking right now, I doubt very much I can find a player of their talent, no less two .. .the leadership of both players will be hard to replace.'' One does not feel qualified to decide whether the leadership gap at Wilkes was filled, that may be left for others to decide. However, what is apparent is that this year's co-captains, Pam Snyder and Megan Ward, had a very difficult task to contend with. . 1980 FIELD HOCKEY TEAM - Kneeling from left - Diane McGovern, Mi.chele _Ws .iss, Sandy McCarrolJ, Geri McAffee, Pam Snyder, M~ga~_ Ward, Karen Myers, Betsy Ward, Tracey Day. · --· Standing from left - Coach Gay Meyers, Valerie Frey, Diane Hall, · Karen Johnson, Amy Pearsall, Patricia Riley, Karen Bove, Helen Gorgas, - Sharon Mortenson, Joyce Walsh, Linda Dayer, Kathy Reynolds, Assistant Coach Mary Jo Frail, manager Lisa·striefski. "I was pleased with the- intensity that we played. Lafayette came with the idea that they had a win, bu we · made sure they they knew Wilkes was alive and well and coming along in field hockey, " Coach Meyers noted. She added that "total team effect is a good way to end the season.'' It was this same total team effect that also began the season. The opener against Elizabethtown saw the Colonelettes surprise another team that had thought Wilkes was an easy opponent. Instead, the Colonelettes almost came away with the win. Elizabethtown tied the score with just a few seconds remaining in the game. It is these two games that bring the entire field hockey season into perspective. After last year's blockbuster performance, it must have become apparent to Wilkes' oppenents that the Colonelettes were not qualified to repeat that performance. And they didn't. This year was the first time in two years that the Lady Colonels did not become champions of their MAC League. They did not take part in any MAC playoffs and they were not invited to the Regional Tournament. In the Susquehanna Tournament they finished fifth. The championship team was Bloomsburg, whom Wilkes had beaten earlier this season. Although the Colonelettes had a winning season, their most important game against conference opponents ended with a 0-2-1 record. In an article, "Smith, Frail - · Will Be Hard To Replace," that appeared in last year's November 1 edition of the Beacon, Coach In that very same article, Mary Jo Frail, now the assistant coach, said, "Being a co-captain of a team of this talent makes me feel that much prouder." They key word here is "talent." This year began with the Colonelettes short six starters from last year's team. Underclassmen were left to fill this gap, and they were primarily inexperienced. In short; this was a rebuilding year. Some may say that the Colonelettes "choked" this season. They won _six games in a row and were sporting a 6-1-1 record when the season began to collapse. But the key to the Lady Colonels' record does not lie in their record entirely. Besides, they had a winning season. The explanatin behind the good first half and poor second half showings is based on scheduling. The majority of Wilkes' early season games were against weak teams. Although few games were relatively easy victories, the Wilkes hurlers managed to put forth the effort to finish the first half very effectively.

It was recently reported that the National Football League has decided suspend discussion on the two-point conversion in professional football fo an indefinite period once again. Numerous times this issue has come up a NFL meetin_gs, everytime ending on the same questionable note. It is hard to tell exactly what the majority of coaches and league official are afraid of if they adopt the two-point play. Some coaches have bee quoted as saying that they do not want to follow what the college ranks do, regardless of the circumstances involved. Others have expressed the sentiments that the league is too complicated the way it is, and that a new twopoint play would just make matters worse. Although most o( the NFL is against the new conversion, some coaches (especially ones who formerly coached in college ) are in favor of it. Most o this minority group feels that the rule change would bring more excitement into the game as well as provide more options for the coach and team during·critical and non-critical situations. I believe this small number of coaches and owners in favor of the new play are on to something worthwhile. Professional football is an exciting sport with a great affiilunt of fan support, but like all things, there is always room for change. A two-point conversion play in the NFL would without a doubt add more excitement as well as more variety to the game of football. Any coach who would argue that the induction of the two-point play into professional football would add more work to his duties ought to be kicked out of the league. Like any other form of living, a job involves work and in most instances, wi,rk is not easy. A coach is being paid to make tough decisions under pressure, which ultimately is what the new rule will be an about. The truth of the matter is that the coaches who use this line of defense are too afraid to come off their cushioned pedestal and get down into the trenches with the rest of the league. •. , A two-point play would add a new dimension to football wh11e also allowing a coach to use his entire squad in ways he has never before. Just imagine, a back-up running back might become the team's two-point play weapon. He may gear himself up for only that small but very important blast acr-0ss the goal line after a touchdown. Much like the way the specialty squads have become trademards of good teams, so could the two-point play squads if so devised. · One coach complained that he would not appreciate it very much if his team lost a close game on the last play of the contest because of a two-point play. This kind of arguing is faulty for the simple reason that if his team scored throughout the game, they too would have the chance to convert two-point plays and thus have the marginal difference to beat their opponent. The two-point -conversion would not change the outlook of professional football in a drastic sense, it would only add a new play and phase to an already exciting game. The only drawbacks from such a change would be the announcers having to adjust to new score totals, place-kickers being called upon only for field goals, and . lackadaisical coaches forcing themselves to make decisions which they would rather not. It is my belief that it is the last reason which prevents the two-point play from becoming a part of the NFL, and if this is true, it is really sad not only for this coach, but for the fans as well . This past week was the best ever as far as the identification of the memory photo is concerned. Dean Hoover, Dorothy Schlingman and the daughter of the athlete, Mary Ellen Gacha, all identified George Gacha Jr. as the mystery athlete. George Gacha played both basketball and baseball for the .Colonels before graduating in l!l60. The BEACON sports staff thanks the above -mentioned for their participation and hopes this response is the beginning of good things to come. Let's see how many people can name this week's photo.

The Democrats still retained control, but by a greatly reduced margin. Also, the Senate is now composed of 58 Democrats, 41 Republicans, and one Independent. A switch of nine seats would give the Republicans control of the chamber. Coalitions Change Tbis almost sweeping defeat of Democrats across the country at the hands of the Republicans, can be seen as an indication that the Democrats have almost deserted their party.

One Vote Material Policy One man-one vote. This is the principle on which the American democratic process is built. Unfortunatley, voter apathy has run rampant in the country lately, with voter turnout at a new low. · Did you make your vote count on election day? If you're like a large percentage of the citizens, probably not. It is a tragedy that every election year that hundreds of thousands of eligible voters do not turn out at the polls to make their voice heard. Each election, however, is critical in assisting the voter to maintain his or her personal freedoms for it is the people who vest power in office ho1ders-not the other way around. The inherent danger of smaller and smaller percentages of voter turnout is that fewer and fewer people are running the government. The one man-one vote principle Is tutning into three men-one vote. "Democracy is direct self-government over all the people, for all the people, by all1he people, " said Theodore Parker on July 4, 1858 when defining democracy. His answer is timeless for without all the people a democracy breaks down and ultimately ceases to exist. The usual feeling of voters is that one vote does not make a difference. History tells us otherwise, however. One vote, is, in fact, important. Consider the following instances: -One vote caused Charles I of England to be executed in 1649. -In 1776, one vote gave America the English language instead of German. -One vote gave Hitler the leadership of the Nazi Party in 1923. -In 1941, one vote saved the selective service-just weeks before Pearl Harbor. · -One vote could have made a difference in the majority control of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in 1978 because of a tie vote for one seat in the 91st district. When officials are elected to office, it is both the voter and non-voter who either suffer or benefit. If you didn't make your voice heard on election day, after the fact destructive criticism is useless. As you can see, one vote does make a difference.

To the Editor, Students of Wilkes, and the Academic Standards Committee: I was appalled by the attitudes exhibited by the members of the student government with regard to the proposal by the Academic Standards Commmittee to change the minimum grade-point average. It is high time that this school raised its standards and joined the mainstream of institutes of higher education. The standards proposal is eminently fair and de rigeur at most colleges and universities, large or ~mall. The comment by SG Vice President Marla Brodsky is most regrettable. Indeed we are not an Ivy League school and cannot profess to be, but we can and we must strive for academic excellence. It is not a matter of league, size, or. category. Little Hampden-Sydney in Farmville, Virginia has a student body of less than 1,500 students and maintains-rigid standards. Harvey Mudd College, with approximatley the same student population or less, has entrance standards among the toughest in the country. One could go on. In short there is a myriad of small colleges and universities that maintain top academic -standards. Why should Wilkes be any different? If one expects to compete in the world today, he or she will have· to be well-trained. Raising the academic standards and requirements at Wilkes would inevitably result in a better trained student body and in a college more highly regarded in academic circles. This would help all the graduates of Wilkes College. The feeling that "most of the SG representatives expressed" with regard to the standards being hard on freshman is also regrettable. College is not supposed to be easy. While it is unfortunate that SAT scores have been steadily declining for the last thirteen years and that secondary education has been following the same general trend, it. is not the duty of any college to teach the rudiments of education to its students. They are supposed to be equipped with those skills when they matriculate. This school does have a program for those who are not prepared, ACT 101. I do not particularly approve of that program because it is open to abuse and does not serve to raise the- academic prestige of the school. The freshmen who belong in college will get through and, in many cases, excel. It is not the -duty of the SG upperclassmen to worry about themthey will do well. In conclusion I must say that I sincerely hope the Academic Standards Committee will follow through with their proposal for it can only have a positive effect on this institution. If the question rests on the issue of finance or economics, the heightened academic prestige _will surely draw more students to our cmapus. Please do not .lose the opportunity that now presents itself. Sincerely, James D.

Tucke r Adjusts To Wilkes "You start . out being a nobody,and then you get more and more involved in something, sothere is no way you can turn back - you're always finding new things Coach Thanks Beacon Writer to do." This is how J anine Tucker, Inter-Residence Hall Council President, describes her experiences in IRHC since she transferred to Wilkes last year. It is a perfect description of Janine's development from a relatively unknown student to president on one of the three most important organizations on campus. To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to extend my thanks to the staf of the Beacon for their coverage of the Womens' Tennis Team this past season. I would like to especially thank Bob Buschbaum not only for his coverage of our matches, but also for his interest in the team and his generosity in giving us the use of his ball 1nachine for our practices. There were many people who helped make my first year as coach an enjoyable one, Including, Mrs. Doris Saracino, Mrs. Gay Meyers, my two co-captains, Deb Welliver and Peggy Mascelli, and the re st of the women on the team. I would also like to thank Barry Spevak for his assistance, and Mr. John Bubblo and Mr. Dan Keating for th~ir time and expertise. The willingness of all these people to offer me their time and assistance made my job a little easier. Thanks to all of you. Sincerely, Nancy Snee The business administration major transferred from Roane State Community College In Tennessee to Wilkes just last fall. Transferring to a new school is not easy for anyone, for It involves an adjust~ent to new situations and new people. Since Janine had been a commuter at Roane State and became a residence hall student at Wilkes, STATEMENT OF OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND CIRCULATION she make to make an even greater adjustment. Although she encountered some problems at first, she was successful in adjusting to the new situations. Janine decided to become involved in IRHC (then Inter Dormitory Council) and was the representative for the Hotel Women her first semester here. She enjoyed her involvement in IDC sufficiently to continue as a rep in the spring, this time for Weiss Hall, the residence hall into which she has since moved. For Janine, IDC offered the ~ rfect opportunity to become involved in campus activitfes. As she says, "It really put me in touch with things that were going on - and it gave me a chance to meet new people." Being one of the more enthusiastic and outspoken reps last year, she was appointed chairperson of the CC-IDC Pajama Party last spring. She handled this successfully, so that when the time for nominations of IDC officers ap:proached, last year's president, Mike Stapleton, encouraged Janine to run for president. She decided to follow Mike's suggesstion, because, as she saw it, the presidency of the Council offered an . opportunity Janine had not yet explored. She felt it would also give her a chance to work for the students and represent them more effectively. Being IRHC president has involved Janine In different areas and as she has commented, "It has really opened up my eyes." One thing that What's Happening C~NCELLED...

However, students have to take the initiative to get to know the administration. The IRHC president feels that everything is working well this year, because everyone is working together. She attributes some of this cooperation to the fact that she and some of the other officers attended a convention for residence hall councils this summer. According to Janine, this convention provided the IRHC officers with a chance to get to know one another better. This has helped them to work together this year. The reps are also working • · together well this · year. Absenteeism is not a problem as it had been In other years. Janine stated that a lot of people are going to the meetings, and "they say they enjoy the meetings - they say the find out a lot of Information.'' Activities that are planned with Commuter Council are also going well. Janine said, " It is good .to work together· and Bill Miller (CC .President) is doing an excellent job." Although joint CC-IRHC activities are very successsful, Janine feels that it would also be good for ·CC and IRHC to work separately in some cases, since "each group has different needs." This year, Janine hopes to plan some .activities _for students during National Residence Hall Week. Being a junior, Janine• still has another year at Wilkes. It will be interesting to see Into which channels her enthusiasm will be directed. Mary Kay Pogar WONDER-fat Album Review There are seven naiural wonders existing in the world today, and then there Is Stevie Wonder. The 8th Wonder is out with a new albuin entitled HOTTER THAN JULY. This new album, unlike THE SECRET LIFE OF PLANTS, takes Stevie Wonder back to his natural style of music, which Includes the albums, SONGS IN THE KEY OF LIFE and INTERVISIONS. HOTTER THAN JULY includes various types of beats· like Disco, Soul, Ballads and Reggae. · The .slowly growing reggae beat on Wonder's new release Is heard throughout the songs HAPPY BIRTHDAY, and the current number Top 40 smash, MASTER BLASTER (JAMIN) . This tune has a hard driving discoreggae beat and when first listened to, could be taken for Bob Marley and the Wailers, Peter Tosh or Third World. The difference somes out when Stevie Wonder's vocals take command. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, along with the sleeve or jacket from the album, are a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. HOTTER THAN JULY is a mixture of wonderful melodies, lyrics and love songs. AS IF YOU READ MY MIND and ALL I DO give the album a good balance and may be the best love songs Stevie Wonder has ever written. The use of horns, synthesizers and percussion make these tunes just that much better. They were given the touch of a master, the touch of Wonder. Right now, Stevie Wonder's HOTTER THAN JULY is not on the charts, but I can bet within the nest three or four weeks, it will be in the Top 10. Overall, the album is purely Wonderful, but may not be as well-received as some of his other material. My predictions are the album will hit the Top 5 . and MASTER BLASTER (J.AMIN ) will also be Top 5 material. If you like Stevie Wonder, you must pick up HOTTER THAN JULY because it is an integ:al part of a legendary musical collection. If you are a Top 40 listener, buy only the 45 rpm because it has a 4:29 version of MASTER BLASTER (JAMIN) and a dubbed version of the same tune. HOTTER THAN JULY is not for everyone, but it's a WONDER ; Stevie, that is. - JIM McCABE �Page 6, The Beacon, November 6, 1980 Performances Set For November 7 & 8---------------------------------------------- U ~ i q U e Drama Workshop At CPA This Week I have often sat in the audience or a particularly good play and thought to myself, "I wish I could be up there with those actors and actresses ...they look like they are having so much fun ... hey! that doesn't look too difficult ; maybe I could act..." The magic of the actors draws me to the stage. I want to become more involved; to be more than just an observer. Well, on Friday, November" and Saturday, November 8, I and everyone who comes to the Center for Performing Arts theatre at 8:00 p.m. will become more "involved" in a play than we have probably ever been. Imagine sitting right on the stage as the play is being performed; imagine being so close to the actors and· actresses that you' can almost touch them! "Landscapes U.S.A." is the title of this unique drama workshop that will be performed this weekend in the CPA. Michael O'Neill, the new theatre and English professor at Wilkes, produced and directed six very different plays and put them together to form his unusual "potpouri" of drama. The plays range from " theatre of the absurd" and improvisational theatre to stark realism. I spoke to Michael Sunday, while the plays were still in rehearsal. "I see this workshop as an experiment, for the audience as well as the actors and actresses. I have been experimenting and working with the plays all during the rehearsal period; some ideas have succeded, others have failed and been rejected. By Friday night the plays will be ready for an audience to react to them," he commented. Michael believes the audience is a very important part of the workshop. A normal audience is usually passive, .but in Michael's plays they will be active. How can you help but become· involved in a play when it's two feet away from you? The audience will not be involved physically, but they should feel a strong emotional reaction from and for the actors and actresses. About one month ago, Michael distributed flyers around the campus advertising this drama workshop. The workshop appealed to theatre and non-theatre majors alike, and around 25 people showed up for auditions. There was no pressure of a regular audition ; nobody worried about getting a part because everyone was cast ! After Michael saw the talent he had to work with, he then chose the six plays. They are all written by American authors who offer their notion of the U.S.A. today. " Next" is written by Terence McNally and " Calm Down Mother" by Megan Terry, an American woman playwright. The other four plays to be performed are: "The Indian Wants the Bronx" written by Israel Horowitz, "Hello from Bertha" by Tenessee Williams, "The Lonely Machine" by Jules Fieffer, and "The American Dream" authored by Edward Albee. There is no central theme connecting these plays. Their purpose is to offer diverse types of acting for the performers and unique entertainment for their audience. For example, "Calm Down Mother" is an "avant-garde" unconventional play which deals primarily with movement and sound .and does not use elaborate costumes or makeup. It is still very demanding, however, for each of the three actresses has to play 4 different roles in the 20 minutes that the play is performed. "The Indian Wants the Bronx" is a realistic play, and in contrast with the previous one, its main theme is violence and lack of communication. It involves two street thugs who terrorize an Indian in New York City. There are three actors involved in this play. One is a theatre arts major, one has acted in one play at Wilkes and one has never performed in Wilkes' theatre. I hope this article has sparked your interest and will make you want to come to " Landscapes U.S.A. " If you do come, be prepared to become involved and move around on stage. You will be met at the door by an actor or an actress, then he or she will hand you a chair and a road map. The road map will lead you to the part of the stage where each individual play is being performed. Each of the six plays ranges in length from 15 to 45 minutes. After the end of each one you will pick up Masterworks Chorale To Open Season The Masterworks Chorale of Northeastern Pennsylvania, conducted by Dr. Terrance Anderson, will open its new concert season with a performance of two dramatic works by 20th century Italian composers - ' Ottorino Respighi's "Laud to the Nativity" and Gian Carol Menotti's "The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore." The concert will be held Monday evening, Nov. 10, at 8:15 p.m. in the First Baptist Church of WilkesBarre, 48 S. River St. Soloists for the concert will be · Patricia Anderson, soprano ; Evelyn Brabant, mezzo-soprano ; Timothy VanderVeld and Raymond Smith, tenors. Both compositions will be accompanied by an ensem. ble of chamber instrumentalists. , Respighi's "Laud to the Nativity" attempts, to recreate the late 16th century tradition of dramatically telling a biblical story to the congregation of listeners. Sometimes, static scenery and costumes were used. The cast in this instance is comprised of thE' Work 0/.Aerobatic Artist At The Sordoni Art Galle "If the reality you've made is less than the reality you've experienced, you have not made art, but have compromised yourself." So states Steve Poleskie, aerobatic artist, concerning his feelings about the creation of a work of art. How Poleskie views art is important in understanding his work, which is rather unusual. Poleskie creates· art by performing, rather than by making a tangible product of his activity. To do his work,J1e uses an aerobatic biplane (one suited for performing stuntsH to track an object in space. Before he does a performance, Poleskie makes plans for the event by drawing out plans in an illusionistic manner, and then translating the drawings to a schematic drawing which he carries with him in the cockpit. The aerobtic artist uses smoke to give his patterns greater clarity, but the smoke is not used with the intention of creating a more permanent work of art. In this form of art, the airplane is the object, and the smoke it trails is merely an aid in the tracking of such designs as loops and spirals. However, it is not the product of the performance, but the performance itself that is the art. Poleskie acknowledges that his work does not result in a tangible product, but the experience of the audience viewing the performance. is more imiprotant. The artists's work can be seen from all sides and at a variety of distances so that, as Poleskie says, "the pieces do not have one existence but many. " Therefore, no two people observe the event in exactly the same way. A collection of collages representative of Poleskie's performance art is currently being exhibited at the Sordoni Art Gallery until November 9. These collages include maps, air-to-ground communication documents, pictures and some .,. . r ~ '11it EXHIBIT - ..:,.,_· .· , ,.. , The work of Steve Poleskie, aerobatic artist, is currently being displayed at the Sordoni Art Gallery.

Several ~ years later, he taught at the School for Visual Arts in New York City. In 1968, he began teaching at Cornell University in New York, where he ~ has remained.

Remember, you as the audience will be very close to the performers. This will present quite a challenge to them as they attempt to create the illusion of their character and entertain you. Unlike a conventional performance, the audience will get the opportunity to see the actor's facial expressions and gestures up close. It sounds positively fascinating to me. I hope to see you there! Oh, and one more thing. Michael O'Neill told me that the plays won't be totally finished, even after the performances this weekend. Long after the audience goes home Saturday night, Michael and his workshop actors and actresses will still be molding, shaping and improvising their six unusual plays. They believe theatre is a "dynamic organism,'' constantly growing and changing. Hmmm, very in- · teresting... perhaps we will get to see them again next semester.

"The Unicorn, the Gorgon and the Manticore" is a madrigal fable for chorus, 10 dancers and nine instruments. In this concert version, the ballet will not be used. Menotti wrote his own libretto. Through a highly expressive declamatio_n of the words, he creates a world rich in medieval atmosphere, yet taut with a sense of action, and vivid with subtlety of characterization. An intensely realistic view of life can be found in this madrigal fable, through the Man in the Castle. He is considered strange for his "lifestyle" is contrary to the status quo, which has been determined by the plastic values of the Townsfolk . Tickets can be purchased before the concert, or from membe,rs .of the Chorale. They can also be reserved by calling the Wilkes College Theatre Department of Music, 824-4651, ext. 355.

Juniors working toward careers in magazine journalism are invited to apply for the 15th annual Magazine Internship Program, sponsored by the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME ) with a grant from · the Magazine • Publishers Association (MPA ). Interns will spend the summer of 1981-from June 9 to August 21- on individual assignment to the editorial staffs of participating consumer magazines and business publications in New York City and elsewhere. They also will have the opportunity to meet with ,a variety of magazine executives, editors and writers for informal weekly discussions on magazine editing and publishing.

Billboard Publications, Business Insurance, Business Week, CBS Specials, Chemical Week Chicago Magazine, Computer . Decisions, Family Circle, Student ... Center. Board Reports Vandalism A prominent topic discussed at last week's Student Center Board meeting was that of vandalism. It was reported that two floor lamps, a few -end tables and numerous pillows were missing from the Student Center. Also, some wire nuts, which had to be replaced after being stolen a few weeks ago, were reported to be gone again. Student Center Director Mike Canonico asked, "What is wrong with these people?" Commenting on the problem, Dean Art Hoover advised that "the people on duty have to circulate a little more." The Board agreed that the scoreboards put up in the gamerooms to prevent students from writing game records on the walls have been effective. It was mentioned, though, that students are still bringing food upstairs, even though this is not allowed. Canonico announced that the COPUS office and Careers office have moved into the second floor of the Student Center. It was suggested that the Student Center be' used for a Casino night to benefit charity. Student Government President Joe Galli interjected that Bedford Hall had already inquired about this. The Board speculated that they could work with Bedford in this event.. The alarm system for the stereo will not be installed for another week due to complications. When the· Bo~rd discussed where to put the speakers for the stereo, Assistant Director John Moffatt proposed that putting some speakers in the basement "might be an inducement to get people down into the basement. " There was a debate on whether or not to equip the second floor with speakers. Supporting music for all floors, Dean Hoover asserted, "The original intent (of the stereo system ) was to make the music available, and Cthink we have a commitment to follow through with it. " The Board disclosed upcoming events in the Student Center. The next Student Center party will be Friday, November 7, and the next Commuter Council coffee house will take place on Thursday, November 6, from 11-1. There will be a chess torunament held in the Center on Saturday, November 15 from 9:-9 and on Sunday, November 16, from 10-8. Regarding these events, Dean Hoover stated, "I think that it's good that there are a lot of these unusual requests coming in for the u~ of the Student Center."

These are all small examples of stressful situations that each college student faces or has faced at sometim~duringlife. According to foseph ~. Kanner, Director of Testl:Ilg Services for the college and AdJunct Professor of Psychology, stress is any coI?-dition that produces enough tens10n or ~ iety to ~nt~rfere with one's effic1ent functiorung. In fact, excesses can lead to physical illness, overwrought fears and the inability to concentrate or function proper!)'.. Stress keys up the body and mmd. K~er said that peopl~ tend ~o think of stress as negative. It 1s re~y a neutral force which !lloti~a~ us throu~ the day. Dealmg with it properly 1s the key to surviva!. ., The student who is under stress and has not yet learned how to deal with it effectively can ~ome so overwhelmed by frustrations and fears that he becomes preoccupied with it. One way to deal with everyday stress is to talk to yourself, stated Kanner. This works especially well in ancontrollable or unchangeable situations. "You raise your consciousness to what's happening around you, " he added. Excessive stress can lead to hostility and built up anger which is uslially manifested in destructive acts such as vandalism, excessive drinking and drug abuse. "When you see a lo! of .vandali.sm,,, you know somethmg 1s cooking, he said. A person has to be angry !nough to be destructive. Anger produces tension, which can lead to intense insomnia and loss of concentration span. The stress related to academic performance is most often linked to poor study habits. "You have to set your priorities for the long term and then h~g .on. to .the111," he stated..Self-disc1phne 1s a must. Crammmg for an exam places extra pressure on the student to perform well, . bu! it is this same pressure which lllSures that the student will work fa~ beneath his or her greatest potential. A change of major is another source of stress. This, Kanner stated, ma_Jces a student feel. in~dequate at times because their first choice was wrong. " If it's not good for you, then get out of a major before it g~ts you,:• he advised. "Go b)'. the ~eeh.ng. If it feels good, then stick with it. If not, get out of the courses." Additionally, certain types of stress can be brought to school from outside sources. Social, i:i:eer, and sexual pressures combmed with family ·problems are all contributing factors to extreme stress. The best solution in this situation is to seek help. " Don't wait till a problem blows your mind," he said. "Talk about it. Seek professional advice." He stated that about 90 percent of the cases can be solved with proper help. Kanner estimates that approximately 30 to 40 percent of all college students experience severe stress at ont time or anottier.. "Many never even talk about it," he s~id. As the Director of Testing Services for the college, Kanner counsels about 300 to 400 students per year. ;-Th-;;;-a~7ti;ssttii'aiia7nistrinnguiiiesloi·- - - -- - - - - - - 1 college students who are being pressured and I 11challenged as never before.

From a student's responses Kanner can usually tell what a stu: dent's problem entails. "This helps students admit their problem " he said. "The biggest problem students have is that they can't verbalize their problems well. This test allows them to see it written down." This is not the only source of information for the counselor. Confidential interviews and a battery of other tests assist in the definition of the problem. Kanner stressed that all test results are confidential. "We even need the permission of the student to release results to his parents," he stated. He continued that careful planning will minimize losing control over events and developing a feeling of helplessness. Prevention is the best rule however. ~ Students ~hould seek assistance from the properly trained personnel in verifying the validity of educational and occupational choices, and the level of achievement needed to successfully pursue and complete an educational program. Also Kanner advised to prepare for~ career not merely a "job" when planning a college major. 10% He believes that most stresses in college can be minimized or resolved if assistance is obtained before the problem is irreversible. ••A 1' · source of help on campus is right THIS COUPON . here (the Testing Service Rear 34 S.

Although the Monarchs proved to be a strong opponent, the Colonelettes captured the victory 15-9, 15-12 and 16-14. Mary Kay Price served one ace and six non-returnable serves and had 13 successful spikes to lead the team in total points. Cindy Rossi followed with 11 spikes. The gym was tense as both teams worked hard with Jong volleys to capture the game point in the third game, which was finally won by the Colonelettes through good team effort. The team traveled to Bucknell Wedensday, Oct. 29, where they went down in defeat at the hands of the Bisons. Cathy Dudick served an ace and Mary Kay Price and Cindy Rossi each had a total of four successful spikes. Parent's Day for the team was held Saturday, Nov. 1. Seniors Cindy Rossi, Sarah Farley, Lisa Gazdick and Mary Kay Price were honored. The team defeated Misericorida in three easy games for the final victory of the season before travelling to Franklin and Marshall University for the MidAtlantic Conference Volleyball Tournament. Reflecting over the seaosn, Coach Doris Saracino commented, "This CoaC It ~ Q __ i c no was-a really exciting season. I think the girls realized that they've got ' the ability to play well and to be recognized as a winning team." She continued, commenting on the MAC Tournament, "The MAC Tournament is going to be tough. We are going to go in there and do the best we can. This is our first time to go to the tournament so we'll have to see what it's all about." Wilkes never attended MACs before because the volleyball season here was originally during the spring semester. When Wilkes converted the season to the fall semester, the volleyball team then joined the Mid-Atlantic Conference. In just two years, the team has risen in power and skill and is now eligible for the tournament. Lisa Cobb .

Senior co-captain Pam Snyder was placed on the first team for the third straight year, in addition to making the Susquehanna II team in her freshman year. She had also compete<l in the µational tournament for t!te past two years. PamSnyder Snyder, playing from the right link posision, had scored 6 goals with 2 assists in regular season competition. She is a business administration major from Orwigsburg, Pa. Sophomore Diane Hall, the leading scorer in the MAC con. ference, and Junior Helen Gorgas were selected for the third team. Playing right inner, Hall scored 8 goals with 2 assists in MAC competition this year. A political science major from Ephrata, Pa., she will be playing for the Susquehanna III team for the second straight year. At center halfback, a defensive Helen Gorgas position, is Helen Gorgas who will also be in all-star competition for her second straight year. She is a psychology major from Swarthmore, Pa. In all, players from 11 schools participated in team competition on Saturday. During the competition, individual players were judged and approximately 45 of them were asked back to participate in trial sessions on Sunday. Co-captain Magan Ward, right inner, also played on Sunday but was not selected to play in the Mideast Regionals. TEAM COMPETITION: On Saturday, 18 games took place with 6 teams taking part in championship play. A point system determin- ed which teams were to compete in the playoffs. Three points were awarded for every victory, 2 points for each tie, and 1 point for a scoreless tie. In the championship game, Bloomsburg topped Lock Haven, 32, for the right to go on to national competition. Earlier, Bloomsburg defeated Susquehanna, 4--0, and Lock Haven beat Marywood, 1--0, in the semifinals. , During the quarter-finals, Lock Haven defeated Wilkes, 1-0; Susquehanna won over Juniata, 3-2 ; and Bloomsburg and Marywood each drew a bye. The Coloneletes played three games in the preliminary competition, beating Mansfield Saturday morning. Later, they fied Center County and Lock Haven, both games being scoreless. Diane Hall tallied the winning goal against Mansfield. "Against Mansfield we were still asleep and didn't play well, and against Center County we lacked organization," said coach Gay Meyers. She added, "In the Lock Haven games we were playing much better ualit hockey, but the Ramapo Defeats Colonels The Colonels of Coach Rollie Schmidt dropped their sixth contest of the year this past Saturday by a score of 23-18 to Ramapo College in a game which was not as close as the score indicates. The Roadrunners opened the scoring on the day when Barry McBain booted a 23-yard field goal at 6: 55 in the first quarter to give the home team a 3-0 advantage. · Ramapo's position for the threepointer came after a shanked punt by Tony Popple. The ball was knocked backwards by a Roadrunner defender and recovered by the Colonels, but official possession was given to Ramapo. Carmen "Homer" LoPresto brought the Blue and Gold right back with a three-yard scoring bolt at 3:01 in the second quarter. The Colonels got the excellent scoring opportunity after recovering a Ramapo fumble on a punt return. Vince Savaco's attempt at the PAT was no good, leaving the score at 63, in favor of the Colonels, which is how the first half of play ended. The third quarter dashed all hopes of a Blue and Gold victory as the Roadrunners took the third quarter kickoff and marched 62 yards in 10 plays, capped by an eight-yard T.D. pass from Mike La France to Tony Eleftheriou with 8:43 left on the clock. Barry McBain's attempt at the PAT was no good, giving the Roadrunners a 9-6 lead over the Blue and Gold. Ramapo scored once again in the third quarter when Tony Eleftheriou pushed his way frmo one yard out to give the Roadrunners a 15-6 margin at 4:37 in the quarter. McBain's PAT was good, pushing the score to 16-6 in favor of Ramapo. The New Jersey team's final score of the day came with 11: 33 left in the game when La France hit Doug Van Horn with a 17-yard T.D. strike. McBain's successful PAT left the score at 23-6 in favor of the Roadrunners. Gerry Goss, who replaced starting quarterback Wayne Lonstein and second string quarterback George Hall, led the Colonels to a scoring opportunity at the one-yard line of Ramapo before being replaced by Wayne Lonstein who ran over for the touchdown at 4: 33 in the final quarter. Wilkes' attempt at two points failed, leaving the score 23-12infavorofRamapo. Goss led the Blue and Gold to their final touchdown of the day when he hit Tony Madden with a one-yard pass with 20 seconds left on the clock. The Colonels' final attempt to pull the game out failed when their two-point attempt was stopped by the Rodrunner defense. The Colonels did try an onside kick, but a ready Ramapo team covered the ball to end the game at 23-18 in favor of the Roadrunners. FOR YOUR INFORMATION: Gerry Goss had the best day of all the Wilkes quarterbacks with a 6-8 average for 76 yards ... Wayne Lonstein and George Hall combined for 8-17 for 75 yards ... Tony Madden had nine catches for 122 yards ... Carmen LoPresto and Sean O'Dea combined for a total of 63 yards on the ground ...

A lot of credit must be given to the strutters, cheerleaders and majorettes for braving the cold weather and providing the halftime entertainment...

OFF THE STICK: In the tournament, Bloomsburg dominated the individual selections with 11 allstars. Lock Haven was second with 6 players chosen. In the playoff game against Lock Haven, it looked like Wilkes would be involved in another scoreless tie. With less than five minutes remaining, however, Lock Haven tallied the winning goal to continue in the playoffs. Had regulation play ended in a tie, a flickoff would have used to determine the winner. A flickoff is an alternating series of five girls going one-on-one with a goalie. The team that scores the most goals is the victor. The · number of goals made is added to the tied score. Bloomsburg and Lock Haven were tied 2-2 at the end of play in the championship game. The flickoff determined the difference. The Susquehanna-Juniata playoff game ended in similar fashion. Last Wednesday, the Lady Colonels lost · to Bucknell, 2--0, in regular season competition. However, Hall, Weiss, and Gorgas each had a good game. After the division II regionals, that same Bucknell team was seeded second. The Wilkes hurlers finished their season yesterday at home against Lafyette. Mark James The first season of tennis mramurals ended with playoffs filled with excitement. In the ladies division, Gail Powers came from behind to defeat Janet Vierbuchen, who was the division champion, 6-4. The match was dominated by fun and laughter.

This is the purpose of intramural sports: for those who don't have the time, for those who are not as good to play at a varsity level, and for those who just love the game of tennis (or any other intramural sport being offered).

Although the Colonels ~anage to field respectable teams each year, they are far from the powerhouse squads of the years gone by. . What is the cause of this constant decline in the quality of the football team? When one looks for an answer _to this inquiry, th~ final conclusion has to be the coach. It is a well known fact of sports that when a team does poorly, the blame falls directly upon the man in charge. In this particular case, the man in charge is Rollie Schmidt. The last time coach Schmidt has produced a winning season was in 1974 when his team was 7-2 and won the MAC Northern Division title. Since that season, .the Blue and Gold has gone downhill, snowballing at a steAdy pace to a climax upon which we will not speculate.

The applications are available at the Deans' offices in Weckesser Hall, the Registrar's office in Parrish Hall, and the Housing Office in the lobby of Pickering Hall. The forms must be completed and turned in at the Deans' office before Thursday, November 20 at 4:30 p.m. The deadline was changed from October 31 to No.ember 20 because the administrators of the Who's Who pr9gram were delayed in sending the forms to the college. To be eligible for Who's Who, a student must be of senior standing and have minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0. Also, the student must demonstrate active participation in both college and community activities, and must show evidence of potential leadership. Seniors can nominate themselves by filling out an application. In addition, department chairmen and administrators have been requested to nominate students they feel are worthy of inclusion in Who's Who. Seniors may also be nominated by any other student. After the November 20 deadline, a committee headed by Dean Art Hoover will select a number of the nominees and recommend them for Who's Who. The Who's Who administrators will inform the college soon as to the exact maximum number of nominees that they will accept. Hoover related that the college will hopefully receive word from Who's Who near Christmas as to which students are accepted for Inside Enrollment Trends :p.3 this year's edition of Who's Who. Students who are selected for membership by Who's Who receive certain special privileges and benefits. Among them is the lifetime use of a reference placement service which prepares letters of recommendation and supplies biographical information to prospective employers. Members also receive a personal certificate officially honoring them as members of Who's Who. In ;iddition, they may purchase the Who's Who yearbook in which their name will appear along with the names of all the other members of Who's Who. Louis Czachor Rea//irmation 0/ Values Major Priority This Year Each year Wilkes College draws up "Institutional Priorities" for the following year. For the School Year 1980-81, a major priority is Reaffirmation of Values.According to Dean of Academic Affairs Gerald Hartdagen, the term "reaffirmation" was chosen carefully and is not something new. Dean Hartdagen commented, "We've always had a strong sense of values," but went on to say that in the past few years there hasn't been much focus on them and they have slipped.

The discussion team of the debate union captured a second place honor in the 29th Annual Discussion Contest Grand Championship Round conducted by the Southern Speech Communication Association in Birmingham, Alabama. The discussion team, under the direction of Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the Speech Division, received for their efforts an engraved and fully functional microphone. Members of the discussion team include: Norm Witko, Patti Sparlow, Darlene Schaffer and Colleen Gries. The topic of the competition was: "Should All United States Students Be Required to Pass A Standard Subject Exmination To Graduate From High School?" In (such as refraining from littering, walking on the grass, defacing property, and grounding out cigarette butts on carpets) . Values also extend beyond the campus to aspects such as common courtesy when dealing with people you meet. Dean Hartdagen emphasized the importance, and understanding the importance, of values in young peoples' lives, and would like them to reaffirm and stick by their own values. What can the College do in the sense of reaffirming values? Write a booklet? Preach? Dean Hartdagen stated that unless the whole campus accepts this issue as important and ·works together, there is very little chance of accomplishing anything. Dean Hartdagen further commented on the importance of role models-learning values and seeing their importance as observed in people you respect.

A team consisting of President Capin, Dean Hartdagen, Dean Hoover, Dr. Rodechko, Bill Lewis, and Ana Nunez made a presentation to the Administrative Council and to the faculty at their first meeting. Dean Hartdagen concluded that, although the whole process has not been worked out, this will not be a one year process. "It is too difficult a thing to pull of in one year's time," he comented. "We've got a long way to go." The choices on the ballot will include Carter, Reagan, Anderson, minority party candidates such as Barry Commoner and Ed Clark, and Mr. None of the Above. The ballot will also include a special separate section for the candidates in the race for the 11th Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Rafael Musto and Republican challenger Jim Nelligan. For students among the 22 percent undecided, members of the political science club will also present the basic platforms of the Democratic ana Republican parties in a debate style format in the lobby of Stark from 11-2 on Tuesday. In other business, at the club's last meeting, Dr. Andrew Shaw, Dean of Management, gave a presentation on Luzerne County government. Dr. Shaw is a recognized authority on county and municipal governments. These projects are part oJ the political science club's efforts to increase a student's awareness of important political issues and· to remind them that Nov. 4 is important to the future of their country. John Finn The program is designed to help high school juniors and seniors become more aware of the natural and social science fields and the nursing program. Two new exhibitions will be added for Expo 80, sociality and anthropology. The displays are manned and presented by Wilkes students. Dr. Turoczi stated, "I am very pleased for what it does for our students." He also added that one of the big reasons that make the expos so successful is that "our students are enthusiastic, I'm very grateful for this." Students on tour will have a chance to participate in a "hands on" display. Last year between· 175 and 200 students toured Science Expo 79 and Dr. Turoczi added that the computer science display was the "big hit." Dr. Turoczi concluded by saying that when he talked to freshman science majors, they told him that "the expo was very influential on their decision to come to Wilkes."

It examines each major individually, and seeks the reasons for demand or lack of demand for that particular field of study. The figures used in this study were obtained through the Registrar's Office and other sources. As a result, the figures for the number of majors in each field each year are considered as good as any set of figures . Certain departments claim to have as many as ten or more majors in certain felds than the figures included in the chart. The difference could be accounted for by considering that students transfer from college to college, change their major, or in the case of students with no major, pick~ major. ... All of the figures in the included chart are from the fall semester of the given year. Therefore, the given figures are from the fall 1967 semester through the fall 1980 semester, our present semester. The figures, taken at face value, may be deceiving. The reader should note that the total numer of majors each year exceeds the total enrollment, This is due to double majors being counted in both departments. Also, when comparing figures from one year to the next, the reader should consider that the total enrollment changes too. As a result, a large increase in the number of majors in any one area may not seem to be as dramatic a change if the entire college enrollment has undergone a proportionally large change. On the other hand, if the number of majors increases substantially in any one area, while the entire college enrollment decreases substantially, the net change may seem very lar~. College President Robert S. Capin explained that the primary factor affecting enrollment trends is the market demand. He said, "If we analyze the demands of government and industry today, you would find that there is a demand for nurses and people who are versed in the computer." Capin continued by pointing out that number of majors in a given subject is somewhat attributable to the demands of the complex society in which we live. He added, "The point is that the professional programs that are subject to the marketplace demands rise and fall in enrollment." One area Capin examined was the education field. He noted, "Unfortunatley, because of the declining school-age population and college population, the demand for teachers has declined. However, recent literature indicates that in the next few years there will be a need for elementary school teachers." Capin stated that tied to the declining demand for teachers is a reluctance among students to elect those areas known as the humanities as majors. On a related note he added that some people question about the liberal arts designation of the college because. of the large number of professional and preprofessional programs offered. "And yet," he continued, "keep in mind that these professional programs do not stand alone." He cited nursing as an example, where only about 30 percent of the course work is in nursing and the remainder of the work is done in other areas including the liberal arts. Looking to the future, Capin noted that some situations will become even more acute., Demographics, he explained, in-dicate that there will be a decline in the traditional student population in the United States. This may cause declines in certain majors, but President Capin does not think that the declines might be as acute as some experts have predicted. Capin stated, "We are living in an environment with a limited resource allocation situation, and it behooves our every interest to do our best to plan properly and make the best alocation of resources that we possibly can to make the greatest benefit." However, he stressed, "In higher education you can't look at everything from the point of view ·of cost-benefit.

As a matter of fact, we'd be willing to b,t at least half of the students on campus don't even know their faculty advisor~s name. lt's : an irohic state. Every year in September, the Administration spends the time and money to serid out in the mail to ·incoming freshmen a card telling them the name of their advisor. Unfortunately, that is as far as if goes. The job, or alleged job, of the faculty advisor, is to help the student along in his academic matters. He is the one who is supposed to be there when the student has a problem. It's a good thing the faculty advisor of each student has to sign the student'spre-registration form or he would virtually be non-existent. Who's fault is it? It's both the student and advisor who are to blame. Most faculty advisors make little or no effort to contact the students they advise and vice-versa. As sad as it may seem, many of the so-called advisors are incompetent. This results in the student's needing to take extra credits his senior year to make up for credits he never needed in earlier years. The faculty advisor system needs a good looking over by the administration before it becomes totally forgotten. It is by far a good program because if, and we stress if, the faculty knew the required courses, it would alleviate many headaches for students in •their senior year. It should be stressed that the Administration should either stop wasting the eight-cent stamp to send out the card to each freshman' or make the faculty advisor system worth while. As it stands now. students are barely getting their eight .-cents' worth out of the program. 7 Still TIie Same. The previous editorial was found while breezing through past BEACONS; it was published on March of 1973 - over seven years ago. That amount of time seems extensive and surely enough for progress to be made concerning any particular issue. In the case of advisor-advisee relationships, it seems as though no noticeable progress has been made since 1973. All of the points addressed in "What's an Advisor?; are clearly visible today at Wilkes College. The same process is still followed: a new student receives a letter (now costing $.15, not $.08) informing them who their advisor is, and in turn, the advisor is handed a list of students whom he is resposible for guiding through four years of classes. In most cases, new students don't see their advisors until .pre-registration in November- almost two and a half months .after the start of classes. Even at this time, a student could have five bowling classes listed on his form and still obtain a signature from some advisors: Students are fortunate to have each other, in that together they can fig1_.1re out what courses to take when and even make very important decisions such as changing a major course of study. As stated, it is still a two-way street. No one individual is at fault. Either the advisor or the student must be willing to make the first step in establishing a strong relationship which must last four years. Both must realize that to open lines of communication, they must both be approachable and willing to put forth the time and effort needed to make the counseling experience worthwhile. There are no clear-cut answers to this problem but it seems that more can be done to find the answers. Student Government is currently setting up a committee to look into the problems and we hope that headway can be made soon. Art Professor A ·Willces-eQn Tradition . ~ Gives Thanks For Assistance First-timers - beware and old-timers - be warned. The mo~t frustrating time of the semester fast approaches. That of preregistration and registration. As one of the better events sponsored regularly by the college, it features several stages of progression. Step one is to find a master schedule· listing next semester's courses. The administration tells us that these hot items are available at several locations on campus well before it is time to register. These locations are either the best-kept secret in town or non-existent. If you are lucky enough to get your grubby little hands on a master schedule after trading all of your Philadelphia Phillies baseball cards for it, you can then assume the search for the long-lost advisor who must "advise" you what courses you need, what courses to take, and the difference between the two concepts. This is step two. Be warned : Advisors are like old motors - they overheat with overuse and abuse. Moreover, they are not very successful! with matching names and faces many times. It is best to go prepared with your student number, social security number and phone number, for some advisors are much better with numbers than names, despite the widespread myth about our personal one-on-one ~dvising system. You should also go prepared with a brief synopsis of your academic major and what courses are needed to graduate wih a degree in the chosen field of study. This can usually be found in the college catalogue. But again beware - you may use the requirements for the . year you entered college, the year you will graduate, or any of the years in between. so the requirements you_may wish to use may not even be published yet. This leaves a lot ofleverage when choosing courses. Confused yet? It gets better. Along with the description of your major, it is also a good idea to go prepared with a list of courses that deal with it. Although the college assigns advisors to students from their major departments, it is not a college policy that these ad-r visors be familiar in any way with departmental policies, courses or requirements. <- . • To the Editor: This past week several Wilkes students (present and past ) came into New York to help me install a · huge print exhibition. I would like to thank them--and compliment them--for their extraordinary work. They were efficient, hard working, intelligent in their handling of the artists and the works of art, and extremely good willed about the hard and complicated work. In addition, they made a tremedous impression on all who attended the exhibition as well as the Federal Agency running the Federal Building where the exhibition was installed. I am extremely grateful for their help, and would like others at the college to share my gratitude to the following students: Joe Milazzo, Barbara Metroka, Maureen Pilcavage, Lynn Taylor; graduate Michael Weida, part time student Jim Guzemski. ' Sincerely, Berenice D'Vorzon Art Dept. Letter Policy . If you haven't seen your advisor since the last time you preregistered, it might be a good idea to at least find out what he or she looks like. With office hours from 10 a.m . to 10: 15 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it shouldn't be that difficult to see an advisor. After all, 15 minutes is long enough to register properly and who wants to get to know his advisor anyway? If you are unable to track down your advisor in classes or in his or her office, despite the most advanced hun-· ting equipment, you might be more successful if you checked the TG IF parties in the Annette Evans Alumni House. (No students are allowed here, however, so you will have to be content with peering in the windows and using sign language to get your advisor's attention. ) The next biggest conglomeration of professors in in the student center between the hours of noon and 1 p.m. This might be worth a try. If, after all this, you are still unsuccessful, you can be sure that he or she has escaped the organized madness by dumping all of the advisees on an unsuspecth1g colleague and taking the first plane for Tahiti. Finally, after surviving all this, you must face the long lines at the Registrar's Office on the appointed day. Once there, however, you find out that four of five of your required courses are closed and you must get the instructor's special permission to enter them. Graduation is postponed for two years. Then you are informed that it i_s physically impossible to fit 15 credits between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. After all, it would be un-American to have an easy time at registration.! If you are successful in making it through registration without losing your temper, your advisor, your academic standing or your hair, consider yourself one of the chosen few and thank the Great Advisor in the sky for wise guidance. You can do it again . After all, it only happens twice a year. _ Halloween Party Letters to the editor are welcomed from all interested parties.

Holm's scenery provides the perfect touch to create just the right atmosphere for the play. For instance, the painted screens used for the scenes in the woods in "Midsummer Night's Dream" set the perfect mood for a fantasy . And of course, there are the actors and actresses - those whose responsibility it is to recreate the life of the play for the audience. The cast of "Midsummer Night's Dream' ' accomplished this ad• mirably. Although some were more successful than others in bringing to life this fantasy play, all of the cast obviousluy put a great deal of effort into making the play the suecess that it was.

It's no coincidence that both of these productions were directed by Jay '8iegfried, assistant professor of theatre arts at Wilkes. Joining the faculty just last year, Siegfried had what one might call instant success with "Red Ryder." This past weekend, he showed that he can continue the success story. Although there were no major leads in the play, some of the actors stood out more than others for various reasons. Among the most entertaining was Frank Kren, who portrayed Nick Bottom, one of the Athenian working men. He seemed to enjoy acting out his character, causing the audience to appreciate the comical character even more. No less engaging was Chris Lonstrup as Puck, the mischievous fairy.

A senior from Dallas, PA, Bill is majoring in business adminstration and minoring in ·communcations. He hopes to attend graduate school and eventually attain a position in advertising or public relations. Being Commuter Council President enables Bill to work with and become friends with many people, which will be advantageous to him in any future goal. "Without a doubt, the most difficult problem for a Commuter Council president is parking," said Bill. When the Wilkes-Barre City Parking Authority announced the cost increase in parking stickers, Bill met with members of the Authority and had the price in! crease reduced somewhat. Still, there are other problems involved with parking, and to solve these, Bill continues to meet regularly with the Parking Authority. Oncampus parking also entails a lot of work, such as reviewing applications, issuing parking permits, etc., and this alone requires a lot of time and energy. Besides contributing his free time, Bill is very open to new ideas. He listens to the comments of other students and tries to make them a part of Commuter Council plans. Many ideas have been put into action this year. Each month, during an activity period, a coffeehouse is 1 Editor-in-Chief Patti Sparlow Managing Editor Margaret Scholl gave a convincing performance.

He has served on the executive council for the class of 1981 for four years. He has been a student assistant in the Public Relations Office since last year and served on the Beaconstaff as a featrue writer.

Features ffom eru n ff. tter With only a few days before the American Presidential elections, the question of whether America is strong enough to win a war against the Soviets has become a very ferquently heard one. On the other side of the ocean in the Kremlin, the Soviet bureaucracy is also undoubtedly preoccupied with the same question. Many people on both sides advocate increased defense spending and more frenzied efforts to create and perfect more and better weapons 6f mass destruction. The argument here is that only mutual fear can ever act as an effective prevention against war. The question which is never asked is when does defense cease to protect one's life and property and become sheer irresponsibility? Since the dawn of the nuclear age, the major nations worked relentlessly to out-arm each other's awesome arsenals. Gone are the days when generals won wars and strategy and logistics made one army better than the other. In the event o a nuclear war, it would take .o.nly 24 minutes for an ICBM launched from the heart of the Soviet Union to strike the major centers of the United States and kill more people than all previous wars combined. This also applies vice versa. Depsite what politicians on both sides wuld have their civiliams believe, none of the belligerants in an all-out nuclear war between NATO and the Warsaw pact would emerge a clear winner. Only the most important people, the politicians and others, would survive. This conclusion needs little thought. 24 minutes is simply not long enough for any nation to put its civilians in bomb shelters or to take steps to ensure their survival. It was in recognition of this fact that SALT I and II were drawn up. What both these treaties in effect said was that both sides should take steps to ensure that the destruction of an all-out nuclear war would be limited to what it could be at the time of the drawing up of these treaties. More interestingly, both signatories of the treaty made pledges not to develop weapons which would prevent each other's ICBM's from reaching their targets. These targets are industrial and population centers, and the victims would not be military personnel, but rather, civilians. Then there is the question of effect. An all-out nuclear war would affect people who are fa r removed from both the belligerents and the issues they are fighti ng over. A peasant on his farm in India, Africa or Australia would be affected by a war he happens to know nothin about. In short, a full scale war between the East and .West would, in effect, be fought not only on the soil of those involved, but all over the globe. This is not only morally objectionable, but a cause of great concern to the people of the nations who do not fall in the NATO or Warsaw Pact Bloc, and it is also irresponsible. Those who advocate an arms race with a renewed and faster pace are also, ironically, those who will complain about the presence of a nuclear reactor five miles from their homes. This seems to be inconsistent with good reasoning. The time now is not for working towards the destruction of each other for the abstract reasons of ideology, political systems and differences of opinion on issues of secondary importance. Surely human life is of greater value than politics and ideology, and surely nations can reach peaceful resolutions of the issues of conflict with a little more effort and tolerance. At this stage, man can hardly afford to continue with the accumulation of weapons for mutual destruction. The efforts and money spent on these could be put to better use. Anthony D. Sibiya Fuller To Present Demonstration Former major league baseball player Hank Aaron will appear at the college gymnasium on Wednesday, November 5 at 8 p.m. In 1974, Aaron made baseball history when he hit career homerun number 715 to break Babe Ruth's long-standing record of 714. Hank Aaron was born in 1934 in Mobile, Alabama, one of eight children. He was interested in sports from the beg inning and decided to co ncentrate on baseball at the age of 11. Even back then he told his mother, "Some day, I'll be in the big leagues." His high school did not have a baseball team, so he played softball during the summer and football during the school year, becoming an all-star running back. When he was a junior in high school, he played semi-pro baseball for the Mobile Black Bears. After playing semi-pro ball for a few years, Aaron received an offer from the Braves at the age of 18. At the end of the season, he was named Rookie of the Year. He was named the Braves' MVP in 1954, and again in 1955, 1957, 1959, 1967 and 1971. In 1970 he became the first player to compile both 3 000 hits and more than 500 home r~ns. He is also one of only five players to ever hit more than 30 homeruns and steal 30 bases in one season. In 1957, Aaron was honored as the National League's MVP and as Player of the Year by Sporting Newsin 1956 and 1963. He holds 18 major-league records. He left the Braves in 1975 and finished his career in the American League with the Milwaukee Brewers. He retired from baseball at the end of the 1976 season.

He began to work on the problems of helplessness, chronic fear and depression while he worked as an investigator for the National Institute of Mental Health. Since 1971 he has continued to study depression and learned helplessness for the National Institute and for the National Science Foundation. "Learned Helplessness" is a condition which has been studied extensively by Dr. Seligman. In laboratory experiments conducted in the 1960's Seligman treated dogs with electric shock, and discovered that the dogs would learn to accept their environment. According to Seligman, the animals would "learn to be helpless." Seligman then attempted to apply this theory to describe the human condition of depression. He described people in a depressed state as believing they are helpless. But he felt that the person could come out of the depressed state if he or she could avoid the helpless feeling. The depressed person is forced to participate in' activites that would prevent feelings of helplessness. Seligman's work helped lead to the development of Directive Therapy in psychology. ~~~~~~~~~~.-.0~,._..~,._..~~~~ ....... ~ What s Happen, ng §§ 001'"....c,o,"'..r..cr~..r..cc,-..o"'..r..r..cr~ ✓ ..o--..r..ocr..r...oco--..r~..o'"..r..-1?

Student Center Director Mike Canonico noted, "I think we're going to see a sharp drop off of Student Center parties because of the new policy." When the Board offered the possibility of sellin'g tickets at the door as a solution, Dean Art Hoover related that this issue had already been referred to Dean George Ralston. Also concerning Student Center parties, the Board discussed the issue of paying for security. It was related that whoever sponsors the party pays security, usually out ·of the ticket money and not white card money. The possibility of organizing a central security pool through InterResidence Hall Council, Commuter Council and Student Center Board was brought up. It was 11ecided to check with -Mr. Richard Raspen in the Financial Aid office before anything definite is worked out. Joe Knox of CC noted that Dean Andrew Shaw had suggested to him the CC move its office to the Student Center. Knox made arrangements with Canonico to check out this possibility. Concerning the Student Center building itself, Canonico noted that the broken shades will be fixed and that the alarm system for the stereo should be installed very soon. Canonico also mentioned that now pending in the state congress is legislation which, if passed, would allow three story buildings to use smoke alarms rather than sprinkler systems. He said that if the legislation passed, the Student Center's third floor, which is now unused, could employ smoke alarms and be opened. Canonico made a special note of two students who spent their summer building speakers for the Student Center. Specifying that "this is a special situation," and "there is no precedent set~here, " Canonico asked the Board to provide some monetary compensation for the two students, Dan Miner and Jim Kupar. The Board agreed, and decided on the amount. On a final note, Dean Hoover suggested that the Board purchase a few folding ping-pong tables for the basement of the Student Center. The Board agreed that they could afford the tables, . which could be moved out of the way for parties. Elaine Czachor W .A.A.

The show will feature 16 Wilkes girls modeling winter clothes. Tickets will go on sale in the STudent Center and the cafeteria a week and a half prior to the show. Tickets will also be available from any TDR member and at the door. · Maurita explained that she thought that many students on campus have misconceptions concerning TDR. She asserted that TDRis "not a co1.1muter sosority," and that residence hall students are more than welcome. She pointed out that memberhsip is still open, and that there is no hazing involved in TOR. Dues are five dollars for the entire year, which she feels is nominal compared to the fees charged by other college sororities. The only requirement for membership is that a girl attain seven points.

RUNNER' RAP - This year's 14 victories set a new Wilkes season record for wins, breaking last year's 13 victories .. Rich Nordheim -• �Page 10, The Beacon, October 30, 1980 Athlete Of The Week October30 The cross country team of coach Ron Righter has had an outstanding year so far compiling a 14-5 record. A major contributor to the team's success has been senior Ed Eppler .who is always among the top finishers. Iri a recent meet against Allentown College, Eppler broke the course record at Allentown with a time of 28.22 for the five mile course. This time shattered the previous mark by 11 seconds which was held by King's College great Frank Awanya. Since there was noBEACONpublication last week due to fall break, Eppler has been named Athlete of the Week for the week of October 20. The record breaking performance at Allentown is only one of the many outstanding performances turned in by the CoCaptain from Washington, New Jersey. In a meet against Susquehanna University on October 21, he finished second with a time of 31.18 for the 5.25 mile .l{irby Park course. Coach Righter felt this was a tremendous victory by the Harriers since last year they were upset by a mediocre Susquehanna team: Righter went on to say, "Ed · epitomizes the athlete who gives everything of his being. He is totally committed to running, and has excellent training habits. Ed is a leader by example, and the younger kids look up to him a great deal." Ed not only runs with the team .at 3: 00 every afternoon, he also can be seen running early in the morning and late at night to maintain the competitive edge. In summing up the season as a whole thus far, Eppler stated, "In the beginning of the season I set high goals for myself and for the volleyball Team MakesMAC's Soccer Team 'Slips' Into 2-8-1 llecord The long strived for goal-to attend the MAC's-has been achieved by the Wilkes Women's volleyball team.

Ed Eppler Hurlers' Hopes Of MAC Playoff Spot Vanis la Wilkes College will be hosting this year's Susquehanna Field Hockey Association Tournament at Ralston Field Saturday and Sunday. In all, 12 teams will be competing for the team championship; and onehundred individuals will be competing for 33 spots in this first round of all star play. This competition is important to the Lady Colonels; it is their last opportunity to continue in post season play. One prospective allstar, Diane Hall, leads the MAC conference ·in scoring with 8 goals and 2 assists. The young field hockey team has experienced some depressing growing pains in the past two weeks. Their dream season began turning into a nightmare when they lost a six game winning streak in a 2-2 tie against Lycoming, a weak team. Two Saturdays ago, the Wilkes hurlers were knocked out by Kutztown State, 5-1 ; and last Wednesday, they were silenced by Susquehanna University, 3-1. . Scoring for Wilkes was Mitch Weiss, through a Megan Ward assist, and Diane Hall unassisted in the Lycoming game. The lone scorer against Kutztown and Susquehanna was Pam Snyder. She scored through a Geri McAfee assist in the former, and scored on a penalty stroke in the latter game. Although the Lady Colonels appeared to be a very strong team in this season's onset, lately they've proven that they are still a rebuilding team. Since the last edition of The Beacon, the Colonelettes' record dropped to 6-3-2; their hopes of post season play in either the MAC playoffs or the Regional tournament dissolved; and their competition in the next two games will be very stiff. The results of yesterday's game against Bucknell were not available at press time; but in any case, Wilkes probably had a fairly tough time against the strong Division II team. Next Wednesday, the Colonelettes take on another Division II team, Lafyette, at home to close the season. Against Lycoming, the Colonelettes began their slump when they lost a 2-1 lead early in the second half. With the help of goalie Robyn Wert's 15 saves, the Lycoming defense continually stopped Wilkes' drives. " We never should have tied that game. If we played the second half the. way we played the first, we would have scored again and again! ':Coach Gay Meyers exclaimed. Meyers was visably upset after the Lycoming game, but the Kutztown loss was probably the greatest letdown. "The game was the perfect climax to the week ; we had a horrible week of practice and followed it with very poor play," said Meyers. " It was the worst we played all season." In the Susquehanna game, it became apparent that the Lady Colonels young defense had a lot to learn. Susquehanna scored early ; and although Wilkes eventually tied the score, they could not move the ball well and their defense seemed unorganized and hesitant. OFF THE STICK : The Colonelettes were a surprise team for most of the season, even to Meyers. "I knew this was a rebuilding year ... but when they started to come on so well early, I thought we might be ready for the hardest part _ofthe season, but it just hasn't happened. " · -· Unfortunately, even if the Wilkes hurlers had continued their winning streak, it would have meant little in terms of a MAC championship. The University of Scranton team that beat Wilkes early this season, continued winning against MAC ~on- ference opponents. This is the first time in the conferences' three year history that the Lady Colonels were not champions. Mark James dies, and there were a few accidents. Goalie Scot Rudolph got kicked on the forehead in a scrabble for the ball and Carlos Ribiero at right wing hurt his leg in a collision. Susquehanna scored six goals, two in the first half, bringing the Colonels record to two wins, one draw and eight losses. Coach Ernesto Lopez had only 14 men to field while the opponents had well over 20 and took advantage of the fact, substituting at every opportunity and maintaining a fresh team at all times. With the season almost over, the best Wilkes can achieve is a five win record, assuming wins in all the remaining games. So far the tendency has been the opposite, and all that can be done is wait for the next season and hope for better luck. Anthony D.

Fund reqqests of this size are rarely brought before SG and the last time one was passed was probably when the ice hockey club made a similar request last year. The club was represented by Tom Mitchell and Jim Kovacs who explained tbat the club has many expenses, including equipment and fees for use of the Wilkes Barre Ice-A-Rama at Coal Street Park. After the club made their original request a few weeks ago, the matter was taken before the college athletic committee. SG treasurer Tom Rooney stated that he had proposed to the committee that the ice hockey club become a varsity sport. The committee found that the nearest ice hockey league, however, was located in New England, and as a result traveling would be a problem. Also the committee determined that the initial investment for coaches, equipment, and other necessities would be too costly. The athletic committee also felt that in addition to not being able to support the club entirely, going halfway with their support would be wrong. The ice hockey club, in cooperation with IRHC, has planned to have ice skating parties before some oi their games. The first will be from 7:00 to 9:00 on Tuesday, October 28 at the Coal Street Ice-A-Rama. IRHC will pay the rink rental and skate rentals for the party which will be followed by ice hockey against King's College at 9:30 p.m. COMMITTEE REPORTS In other business, a few more faculty committee reports were given. Rob Wallace and Mary Kay Pogar reported that the Student Publications Committee had approved Dr. Norma Schulman as the advisor for The Beacon, Jack Hardie for the Manuscript, and Richard Fuller for the Amnicola.Also, Dr. Schulman resigned as chairman of the committee and Dr. William Sterling had been asigned to take · her place. It was also noted that the committee had been informed that SG was planning to begin publication of a newsletter, and that as an all-college publication run by students it might possibly come under the jurisdiction of the Student Publications Committee. There was some question as to whether the newsletter would be just duplicating a service already provided by The Beacon. SG president Joe Galli and SG vice-president Marla Brodsky pointed out that although The Beacon covers what happens at the meetings there is still a lot about SG that the students do not know. When it was mentioned that people do not know how SG works and they do not know who the representatives are, Galli reminded everyone that he had sent a four-page letter to every Forensic Union Begins 31st Season With Victory The Wilkes College Debate Union opened its 31st season with an impressive victory. The members of the speech unit traveled to the Clarion State Autumn Leaf Debate and Forensic Tournament in Clarion, Pennsylvania. The lP,am competed for three days against schools from five states representing eighteen colleges and universities. Novice speaker Linda Esrov finished in first place in informative speaking, finishing ahead of 33 other contestants. This was Linda's first intercollegiate tournament. The tournament officials also honored her ✓by awarding her "The Outstanding Novice Speaker For Informative Speaking" trophy. In the entire history of ON THE COVER A BLAST FROM THE PAST · In celebration of National Newspaper Week, October 12 - 16, The Beacon takes a look at the years gone by via old mastheads taken from page l of 1965, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, and 1979 issues. We've come a long way! Wilkes College, this is only the third time that this award has been won. Also in informative speaking, varsity member Jon Pliskin continued his winning record with a 5th place trophy. Darlene Schaffer, Nancy Ginter and Carol Griffith rounded out the Wilkes squad that competed at Clarion. Wilkes entered all areas of competition and each individual member had stiff competition for the year's opener. Darlene Schaffer became the first Wilkes student to enter seven events. Ginter and Griffith, both freshmen competed with distinction in the first intercollegiate contests. The next rhetorical contest for "Kinney's Kids" will take place this week when Wilkes travels to Shippensburg State College to participate in the Annual Novice Tournament. Membership is open on the Debate and Public Speaking Team to any full time student. The Debate Team and the Public Speaking Unit is coached and directed by Dr. Bradford L. Kinney of the Speech Division. student this summer explaining those things. One rep mentioned that the letters probably ended up in the garbage. Galli replied, "You can take a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." Rob Wallace suggested that all those involved with the construction of the newsletter develop a fact sheet explaining what it would accomplish and take this fact sheet to the next Student Publications Committee meeting. It was decided that some members of SG will attend the next committee meeting. Elaine Kerchusky reported that the Graduate Studies committee is considering revising the graduate grading system to include the .5 grades already included in the undergraduate grading system. The committee is also concerned about the drop in graduate enrollments. In ad<1ition, the committee felt that there is a need for some type of graduate engineering program. Tom Rooney'pointed out that the athletic comn'littee has stressed to the coaches the importance of academics and athletes. He said that the committe has encouraged all the coaches to get their athletes to go to classes to make the necessary grades. Also, the committee would like tighter security and more up-keep of the facilities at Ralston Field. Bill Miller announced that the TREC committee has run into opposition concerning the teacher evaluation form which they created and which has been approved by the faculty. Some departments are having second thoughts about the evaluations and are trying to send the form back to the faculty for review. The chemistry department, in particular, has sent a letter to the committee stating that it is against any kind of evaluation of the faculty. COFFEEHOUSE' Corrina Bender announced that SG's Social Committee will sponsor a coffeehouse at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, October 24. Admission will be $.25 with Wilkes ID . The coffeehouse will feature Ted Steranko. John Finn announced that Wilkes COPUS will be working very closely with the University of Pennsylvania in setting up a statewide chapter of Copus. Galli commented that this summer SG decided to sponsor a small school co.nvention. The convention will be held sometime in January and representatives from approximatley 15 small colleges will be invited to attend. Plans for the convention will be made in the near future. Dean Hoover concluded the meeting by commending those who worked on Homecoming for doing "one bang-up job."

In 1965, 24 per cent of all high school students were required to take a second language.This decreased in 1979 to 15 per cent. On a college level, 34 per cent of all students were required to learn a second language. Language. The average European knows between three and four languages. The Japanese people are forced to study six years of the English language, along with their own. How many foreign languages to you know? According to Dr. Walter Karpinich, Assistant Professor of Foreign Languages, "There was a trend toward not learning a second language, but in the last two or three years, there has been a rever-· sal in that trend." Karpinich noted that more than ever before, America is in rieed of a second language. "Given the current economic conditions and the international relations between foreign markets, a need is being created to know at least one foreign. languilge," he said. In a report set up by President Jimmy Carter on the current status of foreign languages in America, it was reported that "nothing less than our National Security is at stake" when there is a deficiency in foreign language. Karpinich cited two examples where there had been a communications breakdown because America had not been proficient in a foreign language. "When the Pepsi-Cola Company took its drink to Europe, it accidentally mis-translated its message to mean that by drinking Pepsi you will be able to bring back the ancestors from the dead." In another example, Karpinich said, "Bodies (car frames) by Fisher" were again mis-translated to read "Corpses by Fisher!" Karpinich contributes both incidents to a lack of proper foreign language education. By recognizing the deficiency, many colleges and universities are reinstating the foreign language requirement. "Harvard just recently re-instituted the foreign language requirement and there seems to be trend toward a more global education of foreign language. Here at Wilkes, we are holding our own by offering foreign language as a major and as core courses. We offer an opportunity for students to explore foreign languages and we are doing very well." Karpinich noted that the enrollment figures are "representative of the students we have and that given that we are not a language institution, we still have respectable enrollment figures ." Currently Wilkes has five foreign language instructors and offers classes in German, Russian, French and Spanish. In addition, a foreign language lab with video and audio aids is available to help students obtain a fuller understanding of. a foreign language. Turning to the future, Karpinich said he foresees that "Wilkes College has always had the ability to adjust to the needs of the students and that it will meet the needs in foreign language if the trends are there." Darlene Schaffer �,: Page 2, The Beacon, October 16, 1980 Oktoberfest Festivities To Conclude IRHC Hears Gaest Speaker From U ~iver~ity Of Cincinnati Tomorrow With Student Center Party All this week, Commuter Council sponsored the Oktoberfest.

Galli ·noted that he had gone to Charles Abate and requested necessary ashtrays and other material in the third week of September. Abate said yes and filled out the necessary forms . Galli urged that if students are really upset to complain to the necessary people to take some action. The last topic of discussion centered on illegal drinking. Bill Miller urged students who were unsatisfied with the drinking policy and the legal drinking age in this state to write to their state government officials to reduce the dirnking age.

Dr. Berlatski found that in colonial times the British never liked or trusted the Irish or Indians, and their attitude has not changed that much today. Dr. Berlatsky quoted C.W. Matle, an Englishman who lived in India for 30 years, as saying, "The people in the colonies are greedy, sneaky and not to be trusted." According to Dr. Berlatsky, this was "real irony when you consider it was the British who were in the colonies trying to get rich." Today the English still don't like the Indian immigrants because they feel the Indians are taking jobs I away from Englishmen. But, in fact, they are just doing the low paying work that no one else would do. While in England, Dr. Berlatsky noticed that the economy in England is in worse shape than ours. This is because England was dependent on older industries and now these industries are "going down the tubes," and the British government seems to be letting these industries slip away. The inflation went up 23 percent while Dr. Berlatsky was staying in England. He and his family were paying up to 500 dollars a month for rent and over 100 dollars a month for transportation. An example Dr. Berlatsky gave was, at McDonald's fast food restaurant in England, th~ food was twice as much as any McDonald's here. Dr. Berlatsky added that "in England you could end up paying over a dollar just for a milkshake." Circle K will sponsor a haunted house this Halloween season to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.

The high school student spends his day at Wilkts by meeting with Dr. Turoczi and Dr. Rigley, by attending classes with the person who brought him, and by discussing his future.

And, conversely, an open government is one of the staunchest protectors of the free press and of the peoples whose trust it holds. During National Newspaper Week, we honor the brilliant and determined individuals who won for the American press the freedom it enjoys in reporting and interpreting current events. We also rededicate ourselves to perpetuating, in a way that would make them proud, the great tradition they have passed on to us. And we applaud those members of our press who have consistently displayed the sensitivity, integrity, wisdom and accuracy which their profession demands. As a nation, . we recognize the extent of our dependence on our fellow citizens who gather and report the news. And we are in awe of the grave responsibility they bear as they cover events that affect the lives bf millions of Americans and the future of our country. · We believe as they do that the freedom they possess can protect the freedoms we cherish. And we look to them to exercise their freedom wisely, responsibly and with a daily awareness of the tremendous power they wield.

WILKES COLLEG E, W IL KES - BARRE , P[NN A . 1&766 When I look at the theme of National Newspaper Week, "Our F reedom Safeguards Your Freedom," I find myself saying that, in theory, the theme is a beneficial one. However, when I analyze the power of the statement, I find myself recalling instances when Their Freedom did not Safeguard our Freedom. I feel strongly that with freedom of the press, there must also ..... be responsibilityof the press. Newspapers serve a very real need to society. They tansmit news events, they uncover social injustices, they inform, they provide research, they entertain, they promote and they keep a watchful eye on events that ultimately have an effect on readers. Do they ever sensationalize to gain readership? Do they ever _misinform? Do they ever search out stories that, because of their personal beliefs, would harm others? Do they ever . use First Amemdment rights to their sole benefit? Think about it for a moment. A newspaper has impact, influence, and the ability to create trends. For the most part, newspaper editors, ·publishers and writers have not flagrantly abused these · powers, which are part of our Constitutional Rights and, in fact, contribute to the United States being a free country. If we dispute the powers of the press, whether used wisely or not, we must analyze why, in many cases, court hearings must be moved away from certain areas because of jurors prejudiced by the media - prior to the person's having been found guilty or innocent!

KIND OF GRAFFl"f I IDON'1 Oar Freedo1&· Your Freedom The editors and reporters are not infallible. The presence of editorial expression does not mean that the opinion of the press is the only one or correct one. This is one instance which freedom of the press protects the citizens' right to respond. These continued freedoms depend on the understanding and cooperation of the readers. Without this, the guarantee of the First Amendment is not worth the paper it is printed on. A free press is an invaluable right which protects the news media, but most importantly, the people. When the freedom of the press is threatened, so is that of the American citizenry. "Our Freedom Safeguards Your Freedoms.'

"Monty Python and The Holy Grail" stars Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and the other members of the zany Monty Python comedy group. The movie is about King Arthur's search, in a roundabout way, for the holy grail. "Hiroshima, Mon Amour" is a French film about the love affair of a French actress and a Japanese architect.

With all the complications the play was tremendously funny, but the performance of the farce left something to be desired - professionalism. The National Players, in spite of their supposedly long history of quality performances, failed to give one last Wednesday. Fortunately for them, "Charley's Aunt" is the type of play that can carry the actors if necessary. It turned out to be necessary for this performance. The amateur quality of the performance could have gone almost unnoticed, were it not for the grossly affected British accents and the all-too exaggerated acting of the performers. F'or a national company of professionals, such a performace was disappointing. Fortunately for the aduience in the CPA, however, the play itself was not disappointing, and overall, "Charley's Aunt" provided an evening of quality humor and entertainment. Mary Kay Pogar Mimes Tantalize Audience . With Hamor And Poignancy . . ' Watching the performance of "A Mime's Eye View" was a captivating and· enriching experience. Except for the awkward pitched questions of young childen curiously asking, "What are they doing?", silence surrounded the performers as they enacted such playful illusions as bubble-blowing, grape eating, and baseball pitching. These well-received episodes set the pace for other more touching ilustrations. After this warm-up with optical illusions, the performers became storytellers through the language of mime. An African fable, "Monkey Heart," Aesop's fable, "The Sun and the Wind, " and a British fable, "A Coat of Clay" were performed. The artists related these fables with the use of acetone-formed masks, which were designed and decorated by the individual who wore the mask. Besides fables, the mime artists performed short pieces which they had written such as "Pan's Last Acre" and "Balloon People." These two pieces were effectively per- Boole Rea,ieu, First Strike by Douglas Terman Intrigue, murder, an underlying love story, and a hero. All this and more compose the plot of Douglas Terman's First Strike. This spy tale revolves on the premise of a KGB master plan to shift the balance of power. This plan involves such items as electing a power-hungry U.S. senator as a Soviet puppet, copying a U.S. A-bomb, and a spy who would just as soon kill as breathe. The hero enters the scenario after being double-crossed by the master spy. This marks the start of a long-distance cha$e. As one would expect, the hero vanquishes the spy, saves tne country and wins the girl. · Terman's style is drawn out at the beginning as he gives the reader the making of the plot. His main characters of good and bad are well-detailed but minor characters receive insufficient attention. Thriller tales are not advanced to any new heights by First Strike , but neither are they lowered. It is a borderline novel. formed with background music. The music amplified the feelings of awesomeness and disillusionment of Pan saying good-bye to the last acre of life and of the little boy lung- . ing out to his parents, the balloon people. Following these pieces, the artists depicted a series of animal transformations : spiders, roosters, monkeys, and an eagle. These transformations illuminated the artist's view of likeness between animals and humans. To conclude the show, an episode called "Guess What I' m Doing" was performed. Originally acted out in the 1938 Paris Circus, this traditional act brought cheers and encores from the audience. With the experience of twentyfive years of touring, Tony Montanaro, the master mime artist, and his assistants tantalized and teased the receptive Wilkes audience, making this a unique night to remember.

Country Team Raises Record To 9-5 Thomas Lea~ing The Way For many years, the top fall sport at Wilkes has been football. But, during the past two years, the sport has changed to cross-country. In 1979, the Wilkes College crosscountry team was 13-4 and now, in 1980, they are 9-5. The thinclads picked up three big wins in a sweep last Saturday to add a bright spot to the Homecoming weekend. Victories were 22-39 over Moravian, 16-47 over Miscercordia, and 15-49 over Alvernia, who came from Reading. Ed Eppler continued his spectacular running as he and Ken Pascoe tied for first with identical times of 31: 25. Frank Rogalewicz was Moravian's top runner with a 32:56. Neal Pascoe (33 : 13) and John Supinski (33:55) followed with a 4th and 5th respectively, while .Joe Dill and Jim Bell ran close together with a 10th and 11th. Also, running for Wilkes was Mike Tsivina, 18th and Blake Ba,tterson, 23rd. A pleased Coach Righter stated, "The guys knew they had to pick up for Danny Thomas. John 'the soup is on' Supinski came into his own with a 5th. Joe Dill ran .well as 5th man as we needed him to pick up for Danny, while Ed and Ken worked each other." The hot harriers will travel to meet Albright on Wednesday and then travel for a tri-meet with Allentown, York, .and Cheyney State on Saturday.

Those old pitcher-lacking, fly out smacking,'ground out hacking, throat choking Phillies have finally done it. After numerous let downs and lackluster playoff series, the Philadelphia Phillies, this past Sunday, beat the Houston Astros for the National League Pennant. Although every game of this series has been charted, scored, written and re-written about, I would like to add one final comment about this barn buster of a showdown. Without a doubt, this playoff was the most exciting seriesthat has ever hit the game of baseball. Talk about two evenly matched teams, the Phillies and Astros must be carbon copies of each other the way they were playing. All five games were packed to the brim with clutch hitting, good fielding, close plays, close calls, numerous errors, good pitching as well as bad, and a lot of character and pride. Even though it is always said but rarely meant, the Houston Astros truly do not have anything to be ashamed of. They are a class organizatiqn. But how about those Phils? All my life (all twenty years of it) I have been aPhillies fan. While in grade school, I wore their colors, bought their yearbooks and fought to trade for their bubble gum cards. In high school, I. idolized the players, cut out their newspaper clippings, and literally killed for a ticket to one of their games. And just think, this was all happening while they were dead last in the Eastern Division! Through all their defeats, strike outs with bases loaded, and notorious "dumb" plays, I still loved those Phillies. I suffered through the ridicule from other team fans and daily read the standings with one eye closed. But this past Sunday was worth all of the bitter memories of the Phillies from the past. They played a tough and talented team, they played in the . opponent's stadium, they faced the fastest pitcher in the league, and yet they came up victorious. With this win, the Phils not only gained the admiration of the country, but they also eased the pain of their loyal" and "never say die" fans. A team who was mocked, criticized, laughed at, booed into oblivion and given up on time and time again finally got the last laugh on everyone. A team who supposedly had no heart, no character and no team pride really pulled together when it counted for the biggest game of their lives to date. The World Series is ahead of this team, but to tell you the truth, it really doesn't matter. I'm not saying that ·winning the World Series wouldn't be the "icing on the cake," but losing the Series wouldn't be the end of the world either. The Phils have made their mark on the sports world. Along with this mark, the Phillies have ended years of ridicule for themselves as well as their fans . A World Series win would be undescribable, but a loss would be one letdown even old Philly fans could accept. Throughout this column, I have been saying I as though I was the only Philly fan who followed the team in the same manner. Of course, this is the furthest thing from the truth, for there are numerous fans equal, if not more, Philadelphia Phillies oriented. But I decided to use the all-inclusive I because I'm sure my feelings for the Phils are not that far from most Philly ~L . I know that this column is in a college newspaper and I should try to contain my topics to college sporting events. But for a life-long Phillies fan who finally gets the opportunity to praise his favorite team in print, and deservedly I might add, I had to use my only resource. No matter what happens in the Series, "You gotta love those Phils !" "BEACON" SPORTS STAFF WORLD SERIES PREDICTIONS Dave Capin- The Phillies in seven -There's no stopping the Phillies now.

LoPresto, the captain of the offensive unit of this year's club is the· second leading ground gainer in Wilkes College history. The speedy "Pittston Piston" finished the afternoon with 140 yards on 22 carries. This performance brought LoPresto's , career rushing total to 1815, second to none other than the great Ted Yeager who finished his outstanding career with 2896 yards. LoPresto's outstanding performance has earned him the distinction of being named Beacon '' Athlete Of The Week.'' The senior Business Administration major from Pittston Pa. attributes his success to the offensive line. "I thought the offensive line did an outstanding job on Saturday. If it was not for the holes they created for me I would not have run for 40 yards let alone 140. It seems they are always overlooked, I feel they deserve much more credit than they receive. " LoPresto continued "The past two weeks we came very close to breaking into the win column for the first time of the season. All I have to say is FDU better be ready because if they're not we have the team that can suddenly gel and blow them right off . " Alumni Run ~ Results ALUMNI-MALE 1. Roger Davis 2. Pat Sally 3. The "Beacon's" Rich Nordheim LoPresto has had an outstanding tenure at Wilkes. He was named to the all MAC team the past two years. He has an excellent chance at making it three years in a row, especially if he can duplicate this past Saturday's performance. The Pittston Area High School product stated, "Our offense has really started to work together and the young players are starting to come along. " The last point is a very important one. Granted, the team is now winless in four tries, but if the young players continue to progress, the team has a good chance to make a complete turn-around and begin to win some ball games. The team has shown a lot of character and this will prove to be an added plus for the remainder of the season. The Beacon sports staff would like to extend their congratulations to Carmen LoPresto for being named Athlete of the Week. We also hope Carmen's analysis of the offensive unit holds true, because if it does, Colonel faithfuls won't be waiting for the first win of the season ChucfRobbins ...

Hall Tallies Four Goals The Wilkes College field hockey team won its sixth straight game Saturday, sticking it to FDU Madison by a score of 7-1 at Ralston Field. Leading the scorers was Diane Hall with four goals and one assist. Earlier last week the Lady Colo~els topped Maryland 2-1 and stopped highscoring Delaware Valley 4-2. After this seaosn's slow start, the Colonelettes have improved · remarkably. " With every game that we play, the growths of inexpereinced players have been fantastic. I am really pleased with their willingness to continue to work and improve their skill level,' ' Coach Meyers said. " Everyting is coming together.'' Because of their determination, the young field hockey team has dominated its oppenents by scoring 22 points while giving up only nine this season. Although the offense, or attack, was weak in this year's opening games, it is no longer much of a problem. The leading scores have been very impressive: Name Diane Hall GeriMcAfee Pam Snyder Diane McGovern Goals Assists Points 8 5 4 2 3 5 2 4 11 10 6 ~6 Also deserving of mention are Michele Weiss (2 goals, 1 assist) , Linda Dayer (1 goal, 1 assist) , Magan Ward (2 assists) and Karen Johnson (1 assist). In the FDU Madison game, the Lady colonels' offense was awesome. With Meyers substituting freely, the charged-up Colonelette attack dominated the game, taking 27 shots on goal while the opposition was held to a meager six attempts. In addition to Hall's amazing afternoon, McGovern, McAfee and Weiss also impressed the homecoming spectators with one goal apiece. . . Against Marywood, Hall intercepted a pass, dodged a defender, then cross-passed to the left where McAfee's waiting stick promptly slapped in the score. Marywood came into the game keyed up to beat Wilkes, but the Lady Colonels buckled down and held them scoreless througout the first half. In the seocnd half, the Colonelettes dominated play, but Marywood persevered enough to tie the game 1-1 with 10 minutes remaining. Wilkes rallied, with the two cocaptains terning up for the score. Magan Ward sent a perfect drive to Pam Snyder, who scored the winning goal. Wilkes held back a final Marywood threat through the efforts of Weiss and Johnson. " The Marywood game was nice and open - good skill and good play - not the slam barn experience we had at Delaware Valley," Meyers noted. In the fastpaced Delaware Valley "experience," Wilkes scored early. With a pass from Johnson, McAfee ziped. the ball into the right corner of the net from the left top of the scoring circle. "Delware Valley never even saw it," Meyers commented. With the score tied 1-1, the second half began with the Colonelettes scoring immediately. Snyder took Weiss's pass at the top of the circle and blasted in Wilkes' second goal. Later in the game, Linda Dayer scored her first goal with a pass from McGovern. After a Delaware Valley goal, McGovern scored Wilkes' final goal with an assist from McAfee. Coach Meyers said that the game was very physical, but despite Delaware Valley's rough play, Wilkes had defeated a team that - . had scored 14 goals in five games while holding the leading scorer to only one goal. OFF THE STICK: The Colonelettes still have four games remaining and perhaps the greatest threat to their winning streak is the possiblity of a late-season letdown. Their toughest games are yet to be played, beginning at Kutzdown State on Saturday. Mark James Boaters Defeated 5-1 Carlos Ribeiro scored the only Wilkes goal, and that was about the only exciting part of the recent soccer game against Moravian. Moravian went on to score five goals, three of which were within fifteen minutes of each other. The Colonels had hoped for a resounding victory, especially since it was Homecoming, but the magic which defeated King's and Juniata was lacking. Moravian kept on beating the Colonels to the ball and harassing the defense. The game started off with both sides taking their share of good action, and for the first twenty minutes it seemed that the teams were evenly balanced. When Moravian banged their first goal in, it · was little cause for conc;ern. Even the second goal was not too dramatic, and when Ribeiro sent m the Wilkes' goal, it raised the Colonel's spirit. Sports Notice There will be a meeting in the Gym tonight at 6:38 for all those inteested in · playing Intramural · Women's Basketball or · Men's Volleyball. For more information, contact Dave Kaschak at.ext. 341. Then disaster struck. Moravian scored their third, fourth and fifth~ goals in rapid succession, dashing all hopes for a Colonels comeback. The only thing left Jo do was avoid an even more crushing loss. Goalie Bob Bruggeworth put forth a good performance, saving a number of goals and thwarting many Moravian attacks. He has had a good season thus far and saved Wilkes on many occasions. On Saturday, the Colonels travel to Elizabethtown, and on the 23rd will be hosting Allbright College.

Princesses are Peggy Mascelli and Marla Brodsky. The Queen and her court will reign over the Homecoming Festivities throughout the weekend. The crowning and presentation of gifts will take place cft Saturday's home football game against Trenton State College. Mary is a Nursing - Psychology major from Palermo, New Jersey. She has been editor of the Amnicola for two years, serving as co-editor this year. A resident assistant in Miner Hall, Mary is also involved with Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Mary Giblin Mary is the daughter of Owen and Mary Giblin. Marla, from Old Bethpage, New York, is the daughter of Mel and Sylvia Brodsky. The Psychology major has been active in Student Government for four years, serving as Vice President in her junior and senior years. Marla has been active in freshman orientation for three years. She would like to earn her Master's Degree in Student Affairs after graduation from Wilkes. Peggy, a native of Plains, Penn-sylvania, is an Accounting major and hopes to eventually receive her CPA. She is a member of the Letterwomen's Club and is co-captain of the women's tennis team. She is also active in the Accounting and Business Club. Marla Brodsky Honaeconillfl~----------------~--------------~-- Committee _Reports Reekend Features Ban/ire, Game GiuenAtSGMeetin Faculty committee reports were given at Monday night's Student Government meeting. Parliamentarian Ana Nunez reported on the activities of the Academic Standards Committee. She noted that a subcommittee on withdrawals had developed a statement of policy on withdrawals. The statement of policy as approved by the committee and may possibly be referred to the faculty for further approval. The earliest that it may be put into effect would be next fall. Nunez read the statement of policy which says, "W is not a grade: it does not constitute a reflection of academic performance within a course. The appropriate grade for academic performance below the minimum standard for course credit is O." It further points out that a W granted during the first four weeks of the semester reflects the student's choice to drop the course after consulting the instructor, faculty advisor, and the appropriate dean of student affairs. Also, if a student drops a course to add another course, a Wwill not appear on the transcript. After the first four weeks, a W will be granted only if because of some extraordinary circumstances, the student finds that completion of the course is not possible or feasible. Nunez continued that according to the statement the student is the one who initiates the withdrawal procedure. However, the instructor may withdraw a student from his class because of accumulated unexcused absences. In conclusion, the statement notes that a grade may be changed to a W after the completion of the semester only if the dean of academic affairs decides that the change is necessary. Wilkes Homecoming activities begin tonight with a bon-fire at 10 p.m. on Ralston Field.

Doug Fahringer An l n s i d e l o o k - - - - - - - - - - - - Campus Life In Miner Hall make friends." She went on to say, "Almost everybody knows who everybody is." Another point which was brought out was t he fact that there was a feeling of unity between the girls because they see each other more often than they would in a smaller residence hall. The majority of girls residing in Miner Hall are freshmen . Katie McHugh, a freshman , feels that a larger residence hall is better for freshmen. "A freshman wants to extablish relatinships with other freshmen because they'll be the ones you'll be here with and graduate with. " She further commented that freshmen would all have "the chance to adapt to college life together." When asked what, if any, problems there were, Giblin stated that the restrooms were anticipated to be the biggest problem, but really weren't. The main problem was that "all the repairs _weren't done by the time school started." These repairs included finishing showers and restrooms and providing curtain rods and shades for the rooms. A few girls from the fifth floor echoed these complaints, stating that they "don't think they were ready for us. Everything is just starting to fall into place." Another complaint, but not a major problem, was the fact that there is no elevator. One girl said there are about 76 steps leading to the fifth floor. Giblin concluded that the girls have had to adapt to alot, but "most all the of the eirls like living here." · Lisa Gurka �P e 2, The Beacon, October 10, 1980 Board Of Trustees Rally Sappo!1ing Ronald Reagan Elects Ree Merrtn-s Held On Public Square Last Week Five new trustees were elected by the Wilkes College Board of Trustees at their annual meeting in May. The Nominating Committee of the Board of Trustees recommends to the board those whom they feel are qualified and have an interest in serving the College. The five new trustees, elected to a three year term, are : W. Carey Evans, a resident of Wyoming, Pennsylvania. Evans is a 1941 graduate of Bucknell University Junior College and is the President of Wyoming Valley Nursery, Inc. Mrs. Robert L. Mayock, resident of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, is a graduate of Edgewood Park Junior College in Briarcliffe Manor, New York.

Capin, they aim for geographic, alumni, and male and female distributions. The College by-laws state that there should be thirty-six members of the Board, although the College is not required to have thirty-six members at all times. " We have been fortunate to have a pool of individuals in excess of the number of positions. available on the Board," commented Capin. He went on to say that, at this time there is one opening on the Board. This past summer, the new members of the Board of Trustees were invited to the campus for a full day of orientation which gave them the opportunity to meet with key administrators, attend executive committee meetings, tour the campus, and ask questions relating to the running of the campus. Trustee Emeritus Last May at the annual meeting, the following . people were designated as Trustees Emeriti : Mr. Thomas H. Kiley, who was Chairman of the Board, and served since 1963; Mrs. Richard M. Ehret, who has served on the Board since August, 1970; and Mrs. Eberhard Faber, who has served on the Board since 1962. Lisa Gurka Acknowledging the fact that this is a predominantly Democratic region, but also acknowledging his need for cross-over votes, Republican Presidental nominee Ronald Reagan visited WilkesBarre last Wednesday, October 1. At a rally held on Public Square, he delivered a speech that included all of his usual political rhetoric, but it was carefully tailored to appeal to residents of the Wyoming Valley. "Wilkes-Barre knows you must never give up," Reagan remarked, referring to the area's struggle after the 1972 flood, " and through hard work and perseverence you came back, and with good leadership, America can come back! " Comments like this drew cheers and applause from the 3,000 plus crowd gathered in front of the speakers platform. · Reagan arrived on the square shortly after 5 p.m. on the exceptionally warm afternoon, and opened his speech on note of optimism. " I have sensed hope throughout the nation. When hurricane Agnes hit, you went to work and rebuilt. Wilkes-Barre should be a place of growth and opportunity." Reagan then used this theme as a .base for his attack on President Carter's economic policies, blaming the present administration for higher Presidential Candidate Ronald Reagan taxes, and unnecessary increase in the federal government's budget. also made a brief statement against erode to the point where we no He then presented his own prothe Department of Education, longer have the capability to defend posals to remedy the nation's ills which was created by President ourselves."

I Se~ior EmployDlent Seminar Gives Overview Of Job Market "The occupational possibilities you make are your opportunities,'' according to Ms. Paula Placko of the SHS Employment Agency. Placko was one of three speakers who addressed members of the senior and junior classes attending the Senior Employment Seminar. Placko noted that, given the economic conditions of today, the overview of the job market for the next 10 years leads towards the "services" fields. Specifically, . Placko noted that health systems, tele-communications and information systems are the major areas that will have job openings. Placko also stressed that energy-related areas, marketing and sales, medical - health-related services, · cosmetics, food management services and public relations are also viable areas. After the job market overview, Dr. Bradf,,rd L. Kinney of the · Speech Division presented a talk on the fundamentals of interviewing and resume construction. Kinney pointed out that there are six steps in interview techniques: 1) conduct a self-inventory; 2) the initial job inquiry; 3) preparation for inter- view; 4) the people involved in interview; 5) the actual interview; 6) and the follow-up to the interview. Kinney stressed that the keys to have a successful interview are to have a folder with you containing all your information, be willing to communicate and be a good listener. Kinney also urged prospective employees to watch their diction and mode of dress. "Dress as if you already have the job, " he advised. Kinney also explained how to construct resume. The resume must be complete and brief and should contain your home address, phone number and all personal information, including marital and military status. The resume should also explain all work experience, including extra curricular activities and references. At least three ·referem;:es should be included. The third part of the senior employment seminar centered on Eugene Domzalski who spoke on career placement and service. Domzalski noted that there is a career library that may help students with interviews and resume construction.

About four years ago, Dr. Jean Driscoll of the political science department joined with Shirley Eaton of the Language and Literature department to form TGIF, the Thank God It's Friday social group. The _group meets every Friday from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Annette Evans Faculty and Alumni House. "We have no officers and no charter," noted Dr. Driscoll. "We are an informal group with members from all departments. " Although thirty to forty faculty , members do attend the " get together' ' they do not come as representatives from any particular department. Dr: Driscoll commented that the people come "to see what they have in common with each other. This way there is a place for faculty members to come have a little fun and to meet with people outside of their department." TGIF is open to all faculty members. No students are allowed . Darlene Schaffer �Page 4, The Beacon, October 10. 1980 C ass Of '81 President Restates T~S?_,~ition o!l..~<!..1!:P.!ll~R ules I take opposition to your "unauthored" article appearing in the September 25th issue of The Beaconon page 4, entitled"The Students• Choice." Although not clearly stated as an editorial, or for th11t matter, , the opinion of The Beacon, we, the students, may only assume that this article is as such. I realize the obligation of the journalist when presenting both sides of an issue, and the responsibilities involved in good reporting. However, several points mentioned in the article should be clarified without the influence of the negative editorial tone. As I was quoted by Mr. Czachor (p.2), I reiterate the point that the inclusion of campaign cost limitations was not a mandate ; l"llther, that it served as a guideline.

If not, let .us question the calibre of people seeking office, not the policies which are established for their regulation! The introduction of the policy of obtaining signatures for nomination is designed to Increase student awareness in elections, reduce voting apathy, and generally improve our campus elections. Also, the "extra burden" placed on candldates seeking office can only help their chanc$ of being elected by providing exposure and establishing a platform for the office that they seek.

However, to supply food to the starving countries without also making it possible for them to reduce humanly, the populations of their countries are questionable. One of the mistakes which citizens of the now affluent countries make is to assume that those countries in which people are starving are the ones which are overpopulated. Actually, the most overpopulated country today is The United States ef America. Overpopulation is not measured by how many organisms are starving to death but by bow much damage the biota is doing to the total environment. Watching people starve while realizing that ~ . feed them may make matters worse is one of the lesser unpleasantnesses which those who are concerned will be forced to endure in this decade.

Joe also said that SG is attempting to get students and faculty on a friendlier basis outside the classroom. When asked what his understan- · ding of the SG President's role was when he ran for the office, Joe commented, "I understood that I would be the chief spokesman for the entire student body. I would be working with a lot of administration and faculty." He said that the hardest thing to realize is the fact that he is a student, and not a part of the administration. Joe went on to comment, "Many people think that SG meetings are my main function . That's the least thing that I have to worry about. I'm setting a presidence, I think, in one way.

Offers Advantages To Music Students If you are a music major, or are interested in music education, or are just musically inclined and want to get together with other students with similar interests, then MENC is for you. MENC (Music Educators National Conference ) is a national organization for current and future music educators, with chapters around the country. Wilkes has such a chapter, and this year the chapter on campus hopes to become more involved in campus and community services at Wilkes. In previous years, MENC at Wilkes has not been as visible as some other clubs on campus, but this year, with 45 members and an enthusiastic president, the organization should beeome better known. · The officers this year are : President Jayne Grim ; VicePresident - Maureen Stanks; Recording Secretary - Jessica Kwiatkowski; Corresponding Secretary - Sue Luckey; and Treasurer - Bev Perry. According to J ayne, they hope to involve MENC in a wider variety of activities this year. For instance, this past Tuesday they held a hoagie sale. Other fund-raisers are planned for the future . Jayne stresses that MENC is not just a fundraising club. In fact, that is just one aspect of their diverse activities. For example, the organization plans to contribute a great deal to Home~oming Weekend. They are builing a dis la for Frida ni ht and a - -- - - - - - - - -- - - •- group from the club will perform at Arts and Crafts Day Sunday. Aside from all these individual activities planned, MENC will sponsor a major talent show at the college this spring. It will be open to the whole school and will showcase student talent.

Review NMOCT 3aISdfi the number one smash hit from Diana Ross's latest selt-entitled album has put her back on the top of the recording industry. The album, on Motown Records, has Diana singing to a new beat, the "Chic Beat." In 1979, she joined the growing disco scene with THE BOSS, which reached the top ten on Billboard's Top 100 Disco Charts. Now in her third decade of singing, she has joined super writers Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers of super groups Chic. They have added that "Chic Beat" to the album on songs like UPSIDE DOWN, HAVE FUN (AGAIN ), and the next release to come, entitled I'M COMING OUT. The majority of the album consists of songs like these, but there are a few ballads like FRIEND TO FRIEND, and MY OLD PIANO. The tune MY OLD PIANO is done in the style of the theme from MAHOGANY, a movie which Diana Ross stars in. Dancable disco hits, along with beautiful and meaningful ballads, make this album a must for all record collectors. Along with the writing and musical talents of Edwards(Bass ) and Rodgers (Guitar ) appear the rest of the group Chic ; Alfa Anderson and Luci Martin on vocals and Tony Thompson on drums. All of this plus the super vocal talent of Diana Ross make this album a winner. Diana Ross is COMING OUT.

For a small membership fee, members will receive the monthly publication of the national conference, MENC Journal, and the quarterly, Pennsylvania Music Educators Association. Wilkes may send some MENC members to the MENC Regional Division Conference in Hershey in January, and even possibly to the National Conference in Minneapolis. These conferences feature speakers, clinics and workshops on music and music education. MENC at Wilkes also sponsors various clinlcs throughout the year. Last year, a percussion clinic and an electronic music clinic were presented. Guest speakers were invited to come to the college and give demonstrations and lectures on the different instruments. The club plans to continue the clinics this year. As Jayne sees it, the major advantage that the club offers to members is that it provides a source of new ideas for teaching, through the clincis and the magazines. She feels that this is important for all music majors, even those who are not strictly majoring in music education, because, as she says, " If you are a performer, you are an educator." Hopefully, more students will take advantage of the opportunity that membership in MENC affords. MENC meets every two weeks at noon in the choir room in Darte. The organization welcomes any interested students.

The coffee houses, to be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 to 1, are supposed to be held in the Student Center. The Board members discussed the fact that CC wanted them to provide tablecloths for the coffee houses. Because of lack of funds, they decided that they could not afford tablecloths. · Student Center Board Director Mike Canonico related that when he entered the Student Center last Thursday, he found bare wires all over the Center, as someone had stolen the wire nuts. He called maintenance, and they sent an electrician who repaired the damage. The issue of writing on the walls was discussed again this week. It was decided that memo boards be Dscussed put up where the writing was, and assistant director, Lisa Prokarym, was put in charge of obtaining them. There were also tentative plans to install four speakers in the second floor game room. Vandalism was also mentioned this week, as the Board noted vandalism on the first floor. Also, in one of the second floor rooms, a screen has been ripped out of its casing. Plans were made for repair.

He spent 10 weeks this past summer in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, measuring and analyzing the soil and water near low 0level radioactive waste burial sites. His research project may help in finding a safe way to dispose of these harmful wastes. After receiving and carefully reviewing over 400 applicants, the United States Department of Energy chose Paul to be one of its students conducting reseach. The areas of resarch assigned by the Department of Energy were based on interests expressed by the students. "After I explaiijed different areas of study under which I wanted to work, the Energy Deartment assigned a research project to me. Then I received information on research already done in that area and was assigned to work with one of the staff scientists." Specifically, Paul's reserch dealt with measuring the soil and water in areas of Be-a eon •B its part of his research. In comparing these methods to others, he found that they were not the most useful methods for that type of research. By experimenting with different methods, he learned what professional research was all about. " I had access to information and equipment not avaialble anywhere else, and I saw the directions present research in certain fields is taking." When asked what the . ultimate goal of his work was, he replied," In the long run, I hope it will be part of helping to control the production of radioactive waste." What is in the future for Paul Hausman? "I'd like to go to graduate school and major in environment pollutant transport studies. Maybe I'll work towards my doctorate. Eventually I'd like to work for a private industrial consuiting agency helping to control ______________ pollutants." Without a doubt, Paul's experiences with his Oak Ridge -used for radioactive research will help him attain his waste disposal. goals. Knowing this, he enocurages He began his work by using and others to look into the program oftesting the standard methods for fered annually by the Department measuring water-flow, which was of Energy.

PoliticaJSjerre~ •••••••••••••••••••••••• Revisions To Curriculum J\;trE Since the beginning of the fall term, the Political Science Department at Wilkes has been operating with a restructured curriculum. . The restructuring.was planned last year by Dr. Jean Driscoll, chairman of the political science department ; Dr. Robert Freysinger and Mr. Tuhy, assistant professors; and Dr. Andrew Shaw, adjunct professor and dean of management. The changes were prompted, -Dr. Driscoll explained, partly because, "the department feels students have not fully understood that the largest growing job market in the United States is that of administration in governmental and non-profit institutions. Also, the department intends to make job opportunities more visible and more fully prepare the student for careers in administration." Many of the jobs will result from a trend toward increased governmental jobs on federal, state, and local levels, despite many calls for reduction of government bureaucracies. Jobs will also be created by a growing need for professionals in special interest and pressure groups and a growing demand for . administrators in social service agencies, particularly health services agencies. The political science department has intentions of developing a curriculum in the future to accomodate studies in the health services. One of the prime features of the new curriculum will allow political science majors to take a concentra- 1 tion in public administration and policy. This will require students to ' take a total of 39 hours in political science, including the standard six hours of. introductory courses, (In,; troduction to American Politics and Modern Political Systems ) and . courses such as Introduction to Public· Administration, Governmental Budgeting, Public Personnel Administration, Policy Formation in the Legislature, Ad1 ministrative Polici Making and a topics course in public policy. This will fulfill 24 of the required 39 credit hours. For the remaining 15 hours, students must select one course focusing on administration at the state and local level and one focusing on the federal level. An additional course is required from either area, which the student may select. Finally, six elective credit hours must be taken in political science to complete the requirement. The restructuring will also enable students to declare a minor in political science. A total of 21 credit hours in political science is needed to fulfill the requirements of the minor. Changes were also made in the regular political science curriculum. The Concepts and Methods course will now be required for all political science majors entering Wilkes College this fall and the hours required in the major have been increased from 30 to 33. Other changes include the new policy focus described above and a z 0 a.. ;:, 0 tJ ~ ~ = ;> ~ ~ ~ > new course on the Presidency. Several course numbers have also been changed. It is important that students taking political science courses this fall understand that the numbering of most courses was changed to correspond with the numbering of other departments and to suggest to students a logical order in which to take the course. The first semester grade cards and transcripts will appear with the new course numbers, rather than the numbers used when the courses were selected. In the_Comparative and International Politics area, changes were made to emphasize the political science aspect, rather than the historic or geographic aspects of comparative politics. The new courses are Democratic Systems, Communist Systems and Politics of Developing Areas, which was formerly a topics course. International Relafions was renumbered from P.S.222 to 327 to indicate its relation to History 328, U.S. Foreign Policy, which can be used as a political science elective.

Tony Madden has been an outstanding athlete eversince he was in junior high school. At Wyoming Valley West High School, Tony was All League in both football and basketball. During his senior year at Wyoming Valley West, Tony was recruited by colleges for both sports but he decided to play only football in college. He was recruited by Rutgers, University of Richmond, University Delaware, North Carolina State, and Temple University. After examining his alternatives, .,. Tony decided to attend Temple on a full athletic scholarship. After playing varsity for Temple for two years, Tony decided "big time football" was not for hin. Many people don't reaiize how "football factories " operate--it is not as colorful as it is cranked up to be. The junior accounting major from Pringle, Pa. explained ; "We had to lift weights 365 days a year, and during the season we had to watch films every night. I can remember my sophomore year when the head coach told me to drop a night class because it was interfering with football. " Tony felt he was sacrificing too much academically at Temple, so he decided to transfer to Wilkes. Coach Schmidt is very happy Tony decided to come to Wilkes, he explained, "Tony has made a great contribution to the Wilkes football program, and be is extremely coachable. Tony is so talented that before too long other teams will have to double team him because it is almost impossible to cover him o,ne on ·one. Everything Tony has contributed to this team has been i>Sitive, but more important than Tony Madden his athletic ability is his attitude. He is an outstanding young man.'' In Saturday's 19-14 loss to Upsala, Tony had 6 receptions for 108 yards. Although he did not score either touchdown, his receptions put the Colonels in excellent field position throughout the afternoon. Tony explained he was happy to be named "Athlete of the Week." He continued, "This is self-satisfying, but I would be much happier if we came home with a victory. Our team has come a long way since the opener, and hopefully this coming Saturday we will break into the win column." Tony has not only excelled in football at Wilkes, he is also co-captain of this year's basketball team. Last year was the first time Tony played basketball since high school, but he adjusted tremendously to college ball, as he was the leading rebounder for the Colonels last year. TheBeaconsports staff wishes Tony congratulations on being named Beacon"Athlete of the Week." We would like to wish him continued success for the remainder of the football season, and a successful basketball season.

Main St. Wilkes-Barre , Pa . IO" BONUS WITH THIS COUPOII In a game marred by numerous officiating errors, the Blue and Gold dropped their fourth contest of the season to Upsala College by a score of 19-14 at the Vikings home field. In the most contested call of the day, junior Tony Madden was marked one yard short of a first down after apparently taking a first down pass off of quarterback George Hall · with the Colonels' behind 19-14 late in the game. The "failure" to make the first down on the fourth down attempt forced the Colonels to turn the ball -over to the Vikings who then ran the remaining 20 seconds out on the clock to garner their first 1980 victory. Upsala opened the scoring in the game when Dave D' Andrea pushed his way over from the three yard line at 7:36 capping a 75 yard scoring drive. Ben Middleton added the extra point, and the Vikings led 7-0. Mid-way through the second quarter, Middleton kicked a 32 yard field goal and gave Upsala a 10-0 Savoca's PAT gave the Blue and Gold a 14-13 lead. But the Vikings were not to be denied for they mounted an impressive 85 yard scoring drive capped by Ellis Smith's eight yard T.D. plunge. The extra point was no good, but the score gave Upsala a 19-14 command of the game. On the initial kickoff, Scott Davenport returned the ball 24 yards to the Colonel 33 yard line. After an incomplete pass, Hall hit Madden with a 17 yard first down pass taking the Blue and Gold to the 50 yard line. After failing to complete one pass, Hall hit Madden for a four yard gain moving the Colonels to the Vikings 46 yard line. LoPresto gained five yards on a third and six carry taking the ball to the 41 yard line of Upsala. With fourth and one facing them, Wilkes optioned to give the ball to LoPresto who picked up an important seven yards to the 34 yard line. Then after missing on three pass attempts, Hall hit Madden at the 23 yard line for an apparent first down. Unfortunately, the official "saw" other-wise and marked the ball at the 25 yard line of the Vikings, forcing the turn over on downs to Upsala. The Vikings successfully ran out the clock and knocked the Colonels record to 04. FOR YOUR INFORMATION---Tony Madden looked excellent catching six passes for 106 yards ....

The Colonels will face a reportedly tough Trenton State team next week for Homecoming. Pete Steve lead. With five minutes left in the first half, Carmen "Homer" Lo Presto leaped into the end zone putting the Colonels on the score board. After Vince Savoca split the uprights with the PAT, the Blue and Gold found themselves only 3 points down when the half ended. Going through a scoreless third period, Upsala got on the board again when Middleton hit a 32 yard field goal giving the Vikes a 13-7 nod. But the Colonels apparently took control of the game for good when "Homer" Lopresto pushed his way over for a T.D. with only 7:20 left to play in the game.

Hania:s<..1111! \\Ins ln30at0f 4Meets was an unbelievable occurance," claimed Coach Ron Righter after his runners took 3 out of 4 meets last Saturday in Philadelphia. Why unbelievable? Wilkes entered the meet with only 6 runners and by the end had only 5 as the injury and flu bugs started to hit the Colonels. In that meet, the harriers defeated Springarden, Philadelphia Textile and, for the second time this season, Baptist Bible. The only loss was to York College. Division 1 Drexel also ran but their results did not count. Ed Eppler, who Righter said " ran the race of his life," paced all Colonel runners with a 4th overall time of 28 :13. Ken Pascoe followed close behind at 5th, while brother Neil placed 10th . "Those 3 were key places when they figured out the final results," Righter stated. Danny Thomas, usually one of the top 3 finishers for Wilkes, did not finish because of a knee injury. Thomas' status is a big question mark. Another runner bogged down was Jim Bell who came down with the flu on Friday. With those two out, John Supinski and Joe Dill became the 4th and 5th men an Righter felt they did " a good job." The thinclads were also undermanned three days before as they lost to Muhlenberg, 27-30 and "a very powerful" Scranton, 25-40. Ken Pascoe was top Colonel finisher with a 4th and Ed Eppler had a 7th. Also running were Dan Thomas, John Supinski, Jim Bell, Joe Dill and Neil Pascoe, who was under par with the flu . The Colonels, now 6-5, return home this Saturday to host Moravian as a part of the annual Homecoming Weekend. Rich Nordhei m Look out Stanford and U.S.C., the Wilkes women's tennis team is coming up! It was on a cold and windy day that Wilkes won their first tennis match in two years. Division one schools will have to start making room for Wilkes after their impressive 5-2 victory over: Baptist Bible College. You have to understand that Baptist Bible is not one of your "par excellent" tennis schools. However, you can't take anything away from Wilkes because they have come a long way from last years embarrassing 0-12 season. Last week started off on a losing note when the Colonelettes suffered their fourth straight loss 9-0 at Bloomsburg State College. The team, however, managed to win a few games and were very confident going into Saturday's match. It was a day that saw all the squad's hard work and extra ·practice sessions finally pay off. The Wilkes " netters" put the game far out of reach by winning all five singles matches. Cathy Price aced her opponent with a 6-0, 6,0 win. Deb Welliver and Charlotte Fees, also, scored easy victories for Wilkes. Terry Monseur needed three sets to win her match when something happened. Peg Mascelli won the first set 6-0 and won the second by a remarkable score of 9-8. Wilkes lost both doubles matches, but by this time, it was all over. The blue and gold broke out the champagne (Gatorade) as they gained their first victory of the season. All pandemonium broke loose at Ralston Field. Never has victory been so sweet as it was last Saturday.Coach Snee has really done a remarkable job in turning an unexperienced group of players into a determined, hard-working squad.

( Photo courtesy of Wilkes sports information dept.) With a record of three wins and four losses, the Wilkes Women's Volleyball team is working hard toward their goal of a winning season. Although the team has lost four matches, the scores were very close and the team played well together. When the team went up against Scranton, the spirit was high . Over the past few seasons, Wilkes has been dominated by the Royals, but this year, Wilkes kept pace with the Blue and White, keeping the scores close and winning one game of the match. " If our team spirit remains as high as it was when we went up against Scranton through the rest of the season, we can have a winning season" commented assistant coachNancyRoberts. The spirit remained high as Wilkes defeated Upsala with scored 15-0, 15-6, 11-15, and 15-6. "The team played as a unit and there was a lot of support from the bench," Coach Roberts said. " When there's that much team spirit, we're at our best." The spirit dimmed somewhat as the Colonettes went down in defeat at the hands of Dickinson in three games out of a four game match, but was recaptured early last week in time for Wilkes to defeat its archrival, King's.

If you ask me how many times I've heard this over the years, I probably couldn't even tell you. It seems that Howard Cosell, Don Merideth and Frank Gifford have been my constant Monday night companions since I can remember. Indeed, Monday Night Football seems to have become an integral part of the American ilk. What has made a game once considered unsellable on prime time h ..o a multi-billion dollar enterprise? Well, one of the main reasons has to be Howard, Dandy Don, and Fancy Frank. I can still remember hearing the trio for the first time. It was unlike any sportscasting I had ever heard. Here were two ex-jocks and a Brooklyn lawyer "telling it like it is." I must say I was shocked. These guys were brash, straightforward and one was particularly obnoxious. Howard Cosell may be the most obnoxious person alive, but he is also one of the most intelligent sportscasters anywhere. Cosell is the one person Americans " love to hate". One bar in the area even sells chances to 'get even' with Cosell. These chances involve the winning of a brick which may be thrown at the TV whenever the contest winner feels Cosen has said enough. I must say my first impression of Cosen was not very good. Here was this lecherous geek rattling off twenty-five syllable words, interrupting and correcting his fellow announcers and generally making a jerk of himself. " My god, " I thought " someone should mace that idiot." Well, over the years my feelings for Cosell have mellowed. I have come to understand that hem paid to act the way he does. He is a selling point and if being obnoxious sells, then so be it. The other two announcers are good. I've come to believe more people cheer for Dandy Don than the teams. When the " dandero" insults or corrects Cosell, the crowd loves it. Merideth is no dumb ex-jock. He is highly intelligent. Anyone who plays quarterback for Tom Laundry has to be. Frank Gifford is a good play-by-play announcer. He seems to know his facts and usually does a good job. Although he tries to stay away from the squabbles between Cosell and Merideth, Gifford sometimes corrects either of them and the fans love it. Maybe it is because the three of them seem to badger each other constantly or maybe two ex-jocks and a quasi-intellectual equal some sort of good 'karma' to the fans, but whatever the reasons these three gents are a primary selling point to the fans. Monday Night Football has changed the sport drastically. It has brought prosperity and success to many. In the past, games were usually played on Sunday. They maintained popularity, but the big money was not there. Monday Night has changed that. By bringing football into the prime time arena, television has made big name actors out of today's football players. In one night a no-name third rate jock may be transformed into a big money hero. Monday Night Football has made millions for players, owners and networks. It is one of the great success stories of television. Now expanded to two nights a week, on occasion, Monday Night Football will definitely continue to enjoy success. In ten years a lot has happened in the world. There have been disasters, wars, great soeial upheaval, not to mention disease, bloodshed, and Howard Cosell. Monday Night Football is also ten years old. During those ten years it has entirely changed the face of sports forever. But what is life without change? Monday nights were once boring and depressing, but now : "Dandy, there is a brouhaha on the field!" " Well Howard, kill the sucker!" . Monday nights will never be the same...

After it took place, one writer called it "the burial in the desert. " After reading numerous articles about it, the only thing I can call it is " the big rip-off." The it I am referring to is the fight that took place this past Thursday between World Boxing Council Champion Larry Holmes, and three time world heavyweight champion Muhammed Ali. As everyone probably knows by now, Holmes scored a technical knockout in the 11th round when a battered and truly beaten Ali did not answer the bell for that respective round. Ali's failure to come out in the llth not only was the "setting sun" on this particular fight, but also on a boxing dynasty as well. I named this fight " the big rip-off" because that is what I felt it was. Granted the fans were not ripped off for they received what they wanted. Those who hated Ali throughout his career got ths satisfaction of seeing him mutilated at the hands of Larry Holmes, Fans of Ali got "one more" ,chance to see their idol in the ring. Don King certainly was not ripped off for he received the money that he expected for staging the fight. Holmes retained his title while also earning a nice piece of change for one night of "light" work. So who do I feel was "ripped off?" Muhammed Ali of course! For as long as I can remember, my love for Ali has not bnen great. In fact, throughout his career, I couldn't stand the guy. I used to 1ove to watch Ali fights, not to see him win,-b~t to hope someone would knock him out. But as time went on and Ali garnered his third title, my hate for the man changed to respect. This is not to say that I became an Ali fan, God knows this will never happen, but I no longer wished his defeat or mutilation. Respect developed in me for the man's true athletic ability, and the way he achieved the goals he set for himself. After pondering my conception of Ali, I found out that he truly was nothing like I had pictured him. Re-evaluation of Ali, in my mind, left nothing but admiration for him as an athlete, and sincere respect for him as a person. This past Thursday's event created a great disturbance in my mind as to the validity of my conception of Ali. I asked myself, "Why would a 38 year old man who has proven himself time and time again want to submit himself to such punishment? A man of his intelligence must know that the ~uman !><>dy can onl)'. take S? i_nuch ! " Well; whatever_his reason for wantmg to fight once agam was, 1t ts a reason that must be important enough to justify the ridicule and embarrassment he must now be suffering. For a man who was once a true champion and who had the respect of the entire sports world, he is now a defeated boxer who must somehow regain the dignity and respect that was once inherently his. Ali's fight against Holmes was a mistake. Wanting to fight again after this past Thursday's disgrace will be an even bigger mistake. Ali must accept the fact that it is true that "time waits for no one." The quicker the " cha·mp" realizes this, the Ion er he will remain the "cham ."
