THE BEACON

lnj Charlotte Wetzel

By the recent acquisition of the magnificent Weckesser building located at 170 South Franklin Street, the College reached another goal in its continuous program of expansion. The structure was formerly occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick J. Weckesser. The will of the late Mr. Weckesser stipulated that Mrs. Weckesser would maintain the residence until her death and that the building would become the property of the College thereafter.

When the College first acquired the home, plans were suggested to ronvert it into a library; however, since there was an urgent need for more dormitory space, it became Weckesser Hall, a women's dormitory. The former members of Sb-

s'im Hall were transferred into Weckesser Hall and Slocum Hall became a residence for male dormitory students.

Mr. and Mrs. Weckesser were also the owners of the Weckesser structure on Northampton Street. The name of this dormitory has been changed to Susquehanna Hall.

"Concept", the award-winning television documentary originating from WRCV-TV, Philadelphia, bows in on Channel 3 (the NBC outlet in Phila- delphia) Tuesday, October 22, at 7 p.m. with a special film documentary on Wilkes College. A re-run is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23 at 1:30 am. Local viewers may see the show only by cable, although arrangements are pending to release the program later on WBRE-TV, the NBC affiliate in Wilkes-Barre. Filming of the show was completed in August when WRCV's production crew spent three days on campus developing the script.

"Concept's" approach to Wilkes Col- lege is not the general academic ap-

Sorority to Hold Tea On Wednesday evening, October 2,

- t 7:30 p.m., T.D.R. will hold its annual Faculty Tea. All members of the faculty have been issued invitations, and several faculty members will provide the evening's entertainment.

Co-chairmen Natalie Vogt and Beth Weiss have said that the tea will be held in the Commons and is open to all students of the College, both male and female, especially the Freshmen.

In addition to the former residents of Slocum Hall, Iris Orenstein, President of the new Weckesser Hall, stated that seven freshmen and two transfer students from Syracuse University were placed in the dormitory. The offices of Dr. Farley and Dr. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, are located on the first floor of the building.

Although the exact future of Weckesser Hall has not been determined as yet, several possibilities have been proposed. It is alleged, however, that Weckesser Hall is still destined to become a library. As a result, the firm of Lacy, Atherton and Davis Architects, has been engaged to help with consultations concerning the future plans. Repre- sentatives of the firm have been meeting with the College staff and will continue to do so until completion of the project. It is hoped that the pending Congressional legi- fation concerning grants for the provision and extension of college facilities will bring these plans to fulfillment as quickly as possible.

Among the plans now under con- sideration is a proposed addition to

proach. Rather, "Concept" looks at the College from the point of view of its integration into the community, em- phasizing the Institute of Municipal Government, Labor-Management Citi- zens' Committee, and Community Re- search Center. "Concept's" story cen- ters around the transformation of this area from its heyday, when anthracite was king, to the present, when its econ- omy is more diversified.

Marciarose Shestak, who won Mc Call's Golden Mike Award in 1962 and is the producer-commentator of "Con- cept", conducted sound-on-film inter- views with Dr. Eugene S. Farley, Dr. Hugo Mailey, Director of the Institute of Municipal Government, Dr. Samuel Rosenberg, Head of the Labor Manage- ment Citizens' Committee, Mr. Her- man Otto, Director of the Community Research Center as well as several prominent members of the community. Films of Wyoming Valley which included primarily Wilkes College, old mines no longer in operation, and new industrial sites were taken from the air as well as from the ground.

Wilkes College came to the attention of "Concept" through the many news articles released throughout the state by the College Public Relations Office and from the television segment on the NBC Today Show.

Weckesser Converted to Dorm the main building. This addition wou1d contain most of the stacks and circulation-reference and reading facilities. On the first floor would be the reading room with the card catalogues, periodicals, circulation and reference desks, the reference room and lounges. The College hopes to expand its facilities to include approximately 250,000 books and bound periodicals.

The main bui1ding itself would furnish a setting for special meetings, faculty and graduate study rooms and seminar areas. Also the proposed library would house two valuable collections of the late Gilbert McClintock, Admiral Harold Stark's special library on Pearl Harbor, a collection of Polish books cf the Committee for the Polish Rcom and a comprehensive collec- ticn of early local history volumes and other irreplaceable books.

Even though the plans concerning Weckesser Hall are still uncertain, the College deeply appreciates the gift of the Weckessers and will utilize it to its greatest advantage.

Parents' Day Events Scheduled; To Include Sports and Theatrics

by Charlotte Wetzel

Saturday, October 5, will mark the inception of another annual social event on campus; on this date the College will sponsor its first annual Fall Parents' Day.

The day's activity will comni.ence with the registering of the participants in the College gym from 9 a.m. until noon. Ref resh- ments, identification tags, and game tickets will be available to the interested parents.

After the parents have registered,1 they will have an opportunity to ex- plore the campus and its facilities and to meet some students, as well as various members of the faculty and ad- ministration. Many campus organiza- tions will have displays set up to attract

College Given Several Useful Science Grunts

by Linda Edwards

Several research grants were presented to Wilkes College's Division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics during the last year. Dr. Daniel De- twiler, department chairman, explained that these grants were used for the purpose of research and the purchase of equipment.

One of the research grants was the Undergraduate Research Participation grant which paid expenses for and stipends to several undergraduate Stu- dents to assist with research programs during summer and academic year under the supervision of Dr. Charles Reif. Another was the Petroleum Re- search Fund, American Chemical So-

ciety. This was for research on the thermochemical properties of fatty acids. Dr. Harold Swain was in charge of this project.

A third grant given by the Research Corporation was used in studies of the synthesis and reactions of a group of complex organic chemicals. Dr. Robert Soeder was the supervising instructor. Undergraduate students participated in each of these grants.

Those grants presented for the purchase of equipment were: the Morris Foundation, American Chain and Cable, and National Science Founda- tion. The former was for the purchase of an air liquifier, and the latter cov- ered half the cost of an infrared spec- trometer, while the college paid the other half, for teaching and research use.

There was also an unrestricted grant for use as the science departments deem most useful for the general im- provement of science teaching and research.

the interest of the visitors. Also, faculty members will be in their offices during the morning hours to consult with the parents.

Beginning at lOam., the Wilkes Col- lege Soccer team will clash with that of East Stroudsburg State College at the Wilkes College Athletic Field. Parents who have completed their campus tours and wish to see some athletic activity are invited to attend.

Following the Soccer game there will be a luncheon in the gym. Since the parents still have an active schedule to pursue, the committee has planned a "substantial" meal for them. Dr. Par- ley will deliver the welcome address.

At 2 p.m. the College will invite the parents once again to the Athletic Field. At this time the Wilkes Colonels will oppose the Moravian College Grey- hounds on the football field.

At half-time, Kickline, the College band, the Collegians, the Women's Chorus, and the Mixed Chorus will present an entertaining program. Dick Probert, director of the Collegians, stated that several selections from OKLAHOMA are included in the per- formance.

A Post-Game Pickup featuring coffee, doughnuts, and cold cuts will be held at 4:30 p.m. If the weather is favorable, it will be at the Athletic Field. Other- wise, it will be held at the cafeteria.

After 8 p.m. the parents can once again view some normal campus activity. Cue and Curtain will present a series of one-act plays for those parents who would like to spend the remainder

f their time on campus at Chase Theatre. The Manuscript Society is sponsoring a full-length film at the same time for those who prefer to attend a movie.

General co-chairmen for the affair are John Karpiak and Alan Gubanich. smong the various committees are the following: Registration and Invitations, Barbara Gallagher, Lorraine Dyers, Jim Jenkins; Luncheon and Post-Game Pickup, Andrea Cieben, Joe Klaips, Roger MacLaughlin; Publicity, Mary Ann Wilson, Steve Van Dyck, Ronald Grohowski; Campus Arrangements, Cathy DeAngelis, Clark Line, John Cavallini, Joe Lipinski; Community Relations, Gail Roberts and Jack Barnes.

Experimentation seems to be the trend in our day and by no means are we, as students, oblivious to this fact. Many students are perhaps unaware that on October 5, they will he conducting an ex-

periinent of their own, which will involve the presentation of the first Fall Parents' Day Program.

It is true, that in the past, Spring Parents' Day has provided an opportunity for parents to visit the campus and acquaint themselves with its customs in general; however, the picture which they received actually lacked a great deal of color and variety. This was primarily due to the fact that at this time of the year, most of the academic and athletic programs had been completed, and the glimpse of col-

lege life which they received was without the depth and variety usually present during the academic year.

This year, however, through the combined efforts of Mr. Hoover's Parents' Day Planning Committee, and the entire student body, a program will be pr.esented in an entirely different atmosphere. Parents will be given an opportunity to observe campus activity as it is actually experienced by the students. The football and soccer games, individual exhibits of academic techniques, consultation and discussion with professors, and informal talks with parents of fellow classmates will all he part of the day's activities.

A great deal of work has been put into the setting up of this plan, hut its method of execution remains up to you. Although each parent has received an invitation, it may take some initiative and display of interest on your behalf to convince them to become a part of this program. Remember, this is your experiment, and only you as an individual can decide whether or not it will be a success.

J.J.K. WELCOME BACK

Upon our return to campus last week, we were happy to find that Dr. Francis J. Michelini, Dean of Academic Affairs, and Dr. Stanko H. Vujica, Chairman of the Philosophy-Religion Depart- inent have returned to our ranks - Dr. Michelini after a year with the National Science Foundation and Dr. Vujica after a recent ill- ness.

In this "welcoming back" column, we would like to interject a plain hut enthusiastic welcome to our new printer, Liewellyn & McKane, and add the sincere wish that we won't give them too many headaches in the weeks to follow.

ACCENT ON YOUTH - SOVIET STYLE

Every country in the world seems to have its rebellious, nonconformist youth, who scorn and ridicule all authority whether they are the "Teddy Boys" of Great Britain, "Les Blazons Noirs" of France, or even our own American brand of problem youth. Curiously enough and despite all pre- cautions taken by the government to insure a hermetically scaled and con- formist society, the present youth of the Soviet Union are no different from their counterparts around the globe.

The Soviet problem youth appear to be stratified into several levels, each reflecting a different outlook and each representing a different economic plane of the Soviet society. Perhaps the most whispered about, yet never officially acknowledged group, for reasons apparent, is the "Jet Set." This group is composed of bright youngsters of the elite class who are bored with the drabness of their surroundings. By virtue of their parents position, those of the ("Jet Set" have plenty of rubles to spend and relish high living, mean- ing black market recordings of hot jazz records, smuggled copies of Vogue and The New Yorker, and fancy

again, one wLl probably be looking for buoks to help him with a term paper cr supplement his textbook reading. The new book shelves at the library offer a wide selection of books on a variety of subjects.

For the psychology student, George D. Miller's Psychology, The Science Of Mental Life explains the science of psychology and its development. The book concentrates on the key topics of psychology in the historical order in which they were developed by psychologists. Included in the book are biographi- cal essays on the important men in the field of psychology and a de- scription of the contribution of each.

A study of America from 1812 to the election of President Jackson is presented in The Era of Good Feel- ing by George Dangerfield. An interesting facet of this book is Mr. Dangertield's interpretation of the American and British attitudes toward the War of 1812, the Monroe Doctrine, and the conflict over West Indies trade, three of the main crises in Anglo-American relations.

clothes. They despise and scorn their less-fortunate contemporaries.

On a different level are the Stiliagi (style-chasers) who are nothing more than young hooligans, zoot-suiters, or plain juvenile delinquents. These youngsters are commonly referred to as "Teddy Boys" or mitrofanushki. Hang- ing out at restaurants and bistros, they sport long sideburns and other eccen- trig dress, gyrating to the rhythms of boogiewoogie and rock'n'roll. The Slil- yagi consider themselves to be sophis- ticated and emancipated from the norms of Soviet society. One reason for the Stilijagi is again the unbearable frustration that seems to affect young people in the Soviet Union, even as it smites youngsters in the U.S. The U.S. does have teenage gangsters, hut in Russia much less opportunity for outlets exists than in America. Most young people in the Soviet Union have nothing to buy, nothing to do after school, and no where to go. Frus- tration leads to exaggerated behavior leading ultimately to the depths of alcoholism. The problem has become quite serious - as with juvenile delin- quency in the U.S.

Recently, the Presidium of the RSF SR issued a decree to "intensify the struggle against petty hooliganism" and "save Moscow's honor." The decree

Accessories this Fall rate high-fashion coverage. Hat styles this season run the gamut from large brims that partially cover the face to high crowns that go up, up, up and back to little wisps that barely cover the head. News-worthy are hats in suede and leather, fake leopard, spotted furs in black and white or brown and white combinations banded in lizard, and last but not least the cloche and the fedora.

The tramp, tramp, tramp of boots adds exciting sound effects to Fall campus fashions. Boots range in heights from ankle to knee and some are even thigh-high. Particularly popular among the college girls are knee-high alliga- tor boots in black or brown. Other footwear favorites include the tradi- tional loafer, flats, and the stacked heel.

Stocking colors for '63 are keyed Sportive. Russet browns, vivacious reds, greens and blues, greens and olives will be the stocking shades that add the proper finishing touch to the season's new ensembles. Always a striking accent color, gold in various tonings and dilutions with brown and beige will significantly accessorize new Fall costumes.

Amber tones of variety will enjoy primary popularity with bright pumpkin, a new startling accent added refreshingly to those warm colors. Always attuned to the epi- tome of fashion, stunning black stockings will be worn with black crepe dresses.

THE BALLOT BOX specified that any "Teddy Boy" or zoot-suiter picked up for "minor out- rages" is subject immediately to arrest and imprisonment for a period of 3 to 15 days without appeal! Komsomol- ska!Ja Pravda, the Soviet youth journal, describes the Stilyagi as such: "Who is not familiar with these utterly re- pulsive young men, with their ultra- modish jackets, their ultratight and ultrashort trousers and their eccentric neckties of all colors of the rainbow, and with an air of self satisfied stupid- ity on their faces? . . . Or with the even more disgusting girls, with their pitilul bristles of cropped hair, and their shoes that remind one of cater- pillar tractors."

The lesson that can be learned from all this is the apparent universality of problem youth throughout the world. Despite almost 46 years of Communist struggle to remake the "Soviet Man," Free from the evils of the capitalistic society. the present Russian youth are no different from their contemporaries in other lands. Too many times we tend to view a country's troubles only in terms of their international affairs and political tensions, when in reality it is the internal problems that are most crucial. Youth is a force to he reckoned with and may one day split the Soviet Union wide open.

Bookstore Cets New Cover

by Ruth Partilla

Returning to the campus to purchase their books a few weeks ago, students were greeted by a number of workmen industriously engaged in painting the Bookstore. Those of us who have become accustomed to the gray building" experienced a fleeting pang of nostalgia. However, this was immediately replaced by the realization that the Bookstore's bright personality would be evident from the outside of the building as well as from the inside.

One of the first buildings on Franklin Street. the Bookstore is believed to be 191 years old. It was acquired by the College approximately eight years ago as a snack bar. Through the years it has become a place where the college stu- [lents exchange their hard-earned money for expensive prerequisites for all coursesbooks! In addition, both [DC and Student Government as- semble on the second floor. On the first floor can be found the postal station where dormitory students flock for their mail and a lounge where both day and dorm students can relax.

Although the Bookstore is noted for its friendly atmosphere, the iron bars on the back windows hint at some mysterious secrets of its dark past. The reason for these bars is a mystery even to Miss Millie Git- tens, who knows almost everything about the building. Perhaps it was once used as a dungeon, but the bars have remained to keep out all overly-zealous students who are eager for knowledge.

Krieger Does Summer Work In Congressman's Office

by

Alan Krieger

"I learned more from being there than from any textbook." This state- merit was made by senior Alan Krieger concerning his nine weeks of work in the Washington, D.C. office of Con- gressman Daniel Flood this summer. A political science major, Krieger was one of 30 students who received edu- cational grants from the Pennsylvania Center for Education in Politics. There

were approximately 400 students from the entire country serving in the cap- ital.

Tec'nically, Krieger worked under Flood's administrative assistant, Eugene Hergerty. Many of his chores concerned routine office work, such as for- warding pamphlets and letters to Luz- erne County businesses and industry and sending letters of congratulations to high school graduates. While the Congressman always reads personal letiers and is aware of correspondence carried on through his offices, Krieger handled many requests for copies of documents.

Krieger's interest in current events svas manifested by his participation in conducting research on the area re- development bill now on the floor in Congress. He also prepared statements for Flood on the Food Stamp program facts submitted by administrators in this area. Luzerne County was a pilot area for this program and favorable statements were needed in order to retain the Food Stamp program here on a permanent basis.

Perhaps the most interesting of Krieger's jobs was that of obtaining speakers for the student apprentices. He and his roomate, Ken Pearlman, who was svorking for Senator Scott, arranged for such diverse speakers as jimmy Hoffa and Barry Goldwater. Along with Goldwater, Flood was one of the best received speakers.

Although Krieger received a salary, paid partly by the sponsoring organization and partly by Flood's office, these nine weeks were not all work. Parties were sponsored by Senators and Congressmen for the entire group of students, a third of which were girls. However, to someone interested in politics, listening to debates in the Senate and attending committee hear- ings on civil rights can hardly be class- ified as work. Such fringe benefits as meeting Robert Kennedy and hearing ttie shouting Southern segregationist leaders were well appreciated by Krieger, who plans to enter politics upon completion of law school.

I C C to Edit Newsletter hij Karen Volgamori

The Wilkes chapter of Intercollegiate Conference on Government announces the begining of its new editorial paper, PERSPECTIVE, which will have a circulation not only on Wilkes College campus but on 12 other campuses in Northeastern Pennsylvania.

PERSPECTIVE is intended to be an impartial journal of opinion in which the students of Wilkes and the other schools in the area can express and exchange their ideas about current events and vital issues which interest them. By the use of this free express- ion and exchange of ideas between schools, the I.C.C. club hopes to make students aware of the various opinions held by their fellow students and to make its readers evaluate issues of the day in a more intelligent manner.

All signed articles that are gram- matically correct and that express ideas in good taste are eligible for publication in PERSPECTIVE. The deadline date for the first issue is Sept. 30. Anyone wanting to submit articles please contact Karen Volgamore, Doug Bennington or Jim Hansen, or leave a message in the I.C.G. mailbox at the bookstore.

New Prof Expert on Virginian Lore by Lois Petroski

A doctorate in American history and English history, a fascination for street railways, an interesting passion for basketball, and an inevitably apparent southern drawl all belong to Dr. Harold E. Cox, newcomer to the Col- lege faculty.

Having served seven years on the teaching staff of Temple University, first as an instructor and later as an associate professor, Dr. Cox joined the College history department as an associate professor this fall. For the 1963- 64 year he is offering three courses to the student body. They are "The History of Western Civilization," "The American History Survey," and an advanced course, "Great Britain and the British Empire and Commonwealth."

After spending seven years in the huge city of Philadelphia, Dr. Cox was happy to come so Wilkes-Barre. He has dreamed of a small college in a small town for many years for he believes that "in such a college the teacher can pay more personal attention to the problems of individual students than can the teacher in a larger institute. The education machine or a mass-production method of learning does not have to he employ- ed."

Having been here only a short time, he has decided that Wilkes qualifies as that college. He further remarks: "This college is not so small that it cannot provide a diversity of advanced subjects. In fact, it is large enough for an excellent curriculum in most fields. Its size also is sufficient for a student body of varying origins, interests, and opinions. Yet it is not large enough for the student to become completely lost."

Dr. Cox is happy to be a part of the set-up which he considers "ideal for maximum scholastic output." He also is pleased with the "quaint campus, a very conscientious student body, and the extraordinary politeness shown to him."

Another campus which is familiar to Dr. Cox is that of the William and Mary College since in 1951 he received his A.B. degree in European history from this institute.

In 1954 he completed requirements for his MA. degree in American his-

After a year's service as an associate program director so the National Science Foundation, Dr. Francis Mich- elini, Dean of Academic Affairs, has returned to the Campus. As an ad- ministrator of the summer institutes set up by the Foundation to stimulate interest in science in the secondary school. Dr. Michelini visited a number of colleges and universities across the country so evaluate their progress in the operation of these institutes.

Visiting colleges of every size, back- ground and accreditation, Dr. Michelini received, a composite picture of the institutes accomplishments in the large university and in the small college. "The concern with the individual in the program and the program itself is usually more intense at the smaller institutions, while the availability of elaborate equipment is a distinguishing element of the programs at large universities," he remarked. "In general," he added, "The contrasts which char- acterize undergraduate education in these institutions are also characteris- tic of the institute programs run by these respective institutions."

The institutes section in which Dr. Michelini worked, provides programs at selected colleges for teachers to improve their subject matter competence. Through programs of this sort, the institutes hope to improve our position with respect to scientific manpower through education. In the course of his duties as a member of the Institutes Section. Dr. Michelini visited colleges to evaluate their summer institutes in operation. He also helped to evaluate the backgrounds of foreign teachers who were then placed at various summer institutes across the country.

tory and English history at the Univer- sity of Virginia. For his thesis he did research on the accuracy of John Smith's accounts of the discovery of Southern Virginia.

The same university granted him his Ph.D. degree in American history and English history in 1958. His doc- toral dissertation dealt with the in- fluence of public opinion on the rati- fication of the constitution in Virginia.

The state of Virginia, which claims Dr. Cox as a native, influences much

of the work he does. In fact, his primary field of study is Colonial Ameri- can History. Presently he is writing a hook on the revolutionary diplomat Arthur Lee. He already has had published "The Jones jMartin Campaign," a work which considers democratic politics in Virginia.

Since that time Dr. Cox has written five additional hooks, all of which deal with public transportation, a field in which Dr. Cox is one of the few per- sons learned enough to he called upon for authorship.

Dr. Michelini Returns after Year of Research with Science Foundution,

Through his work with the N.S.F., Dr. Michelini found that an institute program, while often lost on a large university campus, is a very profitable experience for a small community college in which it becomes the center of communal efforts throughout the summer.

trig interest in the history of the rise and fall of the street-way industry. Three more books on the subject are being composed at the present time.

Two other publications, THE BURR CONSPIRACY and THE SOUTH IN Tna NATION, contain results of research conducted by Dr. Cox. He prepared the maps and charts included in the two volumes.

When not earning degrees, writing hooks, or radiating the light of knowledge, Dr. Cox satisfies his interest in athletics. He actively participated in track as a cross-country run- ner but later abandoned this activity because "too much was expended for the results acquired."

Slowing down a bit, Dr. Cnx began to take part in the administrative end of sports. Over the years he has been a basketball official in the Vir- ginia High School league, a score keep- er at the Southern Conference tourna- ments, and a sports manager as Wil- lian and Mary College. Proof of his loyalty as a basketball fan can be seen in his traveling 500 miles to Wit- ness one game and in his observing three games in one day. Dr. Cox was glad to see what he called "a well- rounded athletic program here at the College."

The diversified professor is an eager chess player who, incidentally, extends a challenge to any campus enthusiast who believes he might be able to "checkmate" him.

Now married and residing in Forty- Fort. Dr. Cox is sergeant major at an artillery group headquarters. His army duty, which has inclLlded the infantry and the reserves, began in 1954 when he prepared recruits at their basic training camp. Dr. Cox joshingly remarks that he developed his rather voluminous voice while shouting at trainees, but he thought he never would have use for such intensity again. However Stark 116 necessitates utilization of his "stored volume."

However, the accompanying dialect, saturated with a Dixie drawl, never could have been acquired or developed; it had to he innate in one as Virginian as Dr .Cox. It aids the professor in invariably reflecting the heritage of ssh ich he is so proud.

Biology Projects Gonducte by Rails Parlillo

While many Wilkes students spent the summer lying on the beach, loaf- ing, or traveling, a few ambitious ones undertook various important scientific projects in the fields of biology, botany, and chemistry. A few of these students, happy to be able to discuss their projects, eagerly explained the basic principles of their projects sim- plified into terms that all unscientific Liberal Arts, Fine Arts, and Education majors can understand.

Cathy DeAngelis, a junior biology major, performed various experiments pertaining to immunological responses. She was especially interested in the study of eosinophil, a type of white blood cell, and its connection with antigen. To perform her experiments, she used properly immunized rabbits and guinea pigs as test animals. A major element in the experiments was the use of the so-called "ear window," which was produced by scraping a portion of the ear, placing the proper substances on it, and then covering it with a glass cover slip to tape it into place. Using this process, Cathy was able to gather wood cells and study them by various staining means.

Studying she same basic types of immunological responses, Stanley Orlow- ski's method was to inject the sub- stance directly into the animals instead of using the "ear window." To observe the results, he dissected out the lymph nodes and studied them for cells.

Cancer, a disease that interests everyone, has proven to be especially interesting to Howard Hughes. His experiment, which was begun by a doctor in Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, was based on the study of paramino-pepsidase, an enzyme that may he related to cancer. He began by injecting a cancerous type of tumor into rats. He then took blood samples

Tomorrow afternoon the Colonels of Wilkes. College launch their 1963 gridiron attack against the Lebanon Valley Flying Dutchmen, at 2:00 o'- clock in the Kirby Park athletic field.

The last time Wilkes went up against the Dutchmen was in 1960 when the Colonels dropped a 14-8 dec:sion at Annville. It seems that Lebanon Valley has always proved an immovable object to the Wilkesmen. Coach Schmidt's grid machine will be out to avenge past embarrassments and try to gain on the total log compiled with the Blue and White. In a series svhich ran from 1953 to 1960, the Colonels were able to win one game out of the eight contests. The Schmidt- men will also be shooting to improve last season's 3-4 record, and may ac- complish that feat with some thing to spare if their fortunes are not hampered by any mishaps.

It seems that several of the Colonels are hurting from injuries incurred from their recent practice sessions, but the team appears to be well drilled and in excellent condition. This season there appears to be added desire and determination from the Colonel camp. The boys are anxious to put their long hours ol practice into actual use.

Line Shaping Up

Originally it was thought that the line might be considerably weakened by the loss of some key players from last year's squad, but some shifting and sifting by Coach Schmidt has seemed to balance the line quite nicely. Pete Winebrake is being tried at the center spot as an attempt to compen- sate for the loss of Bob Herman. John Makaravitz, a freshman who attended Wilkes previously in 1959, is also a candidate for the Center position.

The Colonels looked very good in a scrimmage against King's earlier in the season and last Saturday exhibited a

great deal of fight and spirit in an intra-squad scrimmage.

Jukutu Looms us New

Trend in Self Defense

by Merle Bolen

In the past several years there seems to have been a great deal of

interest in self defense courses. Per- haps the first form of self defense to gain popularity was the Japanese art of Jui-Jitsu is primarily concerned with balance, and the object is to pro- duce a fall.

Apparently, Jui-Jitsu became a little tame for the average self-defender and a more devastating means of self preservation called Karate, gained mo- mentum.

Unlike Jui-Jitsu, Karate is performed primarily with the hands. Calouses are developed along the outside edge and down the little finger making the hand into a lethal weapon. The forming of

these calouses enables the Karate student to break wooden planks and tile blocks in a demonstration of his skill. In actual fighting it is almost Com-

pletely effortless to break the ribs or other bones of an opponent.

Yet another mode of self-defense has appeared recently, which is even more lethal than Karate. This new form which includes both Jui-Jitsu

Dutchmen Look Strong

In an attempt to give some idea of 'ow Lebanon Valley measures up to he Colonels, last season the Flying Dutchmen were clobbered by Drexel 34-12 while the Dragons squeezed by vith a close 14-12 decision over

Wilkes. However, in other games Lebanon Valley fared much better han the Colonels. The Dutchmen

soundly drubbed Moravian 30-8 and downed P.M.C. 12-0, while Wilkes lost o Moravian in last season's opener 6-6. The Cadets of P.M.C. steam- olled the Colonels 30-0 in a game vhich Wilkes seemed to play under a

rain cloud. Both Wilkes and Lebanon

and Karate in its training is called Jakata.

A man by the name of Larry Lent pioneered Jakata. Lent holds a black belt in both Judo and Karate, as well as being an accomplished knife fighter. He was educated at a cost of approxi-

mately $10,000 at a Tokyo school to serve as an instructor in the Strategic Air Command and for the Army's Special Forces.

Lent devised jakata as a means of self defense which is designed to put a man down so that he is not able to get up. Jakata is actually a form of Karate (with all of the ceremony re- moved) broken down into certain basic movements called Taisabaki movements. These Taisabaki movements are foot and hand movements, with emphasis on the feet. The effectiveness of Jakata lies in the student's ability to deliver a sharp kick to one of several of fifteen vulnerable body points including the knee cap, the shin and the instep. The hands are aimed at the temples, eyes and neck region. The solar plexus is a possible target if

the opponent is not overly muscular in the region.

Jakata used against one man who has no knowledge of the art is ridi- culous, three men make it almost even, and as many as six or seven antagon- its may be handled capably if the student is proficient enough in the skills he has learned.

FOOTBALL TEAM OPENS TOMORROW

.Wg

.,. ..:...:. -saa.,sa, '

.... . ..

Valley beat Ursinus, the Colonels downing the Bears 12-6 and Lebanon Valley winning 21-12. Though these scores are not an accurate indication of the outcome of tommorrow's game, it is interesting to see how the two schools performed against mutual op- ponents.

The Colonels were learning under their new coach last year. This season, Wilkes has had more time to spend on practicing their attack. If the Colonels can provide some interfer- ence for their strong backfield, Coach Schmidt and his boys should have a banner year.

In addition to the development of foot fighting which, incidentally, is known as Aikido, the student of Jakata also learns the skills of stick fighting. The technical name of which is Kendo. Lent has certificates in both Aikido and Kendo.

Jakata is mainly a foot fighting art. Instructions to students are that hands are to be used only when the opponent places a hand on the student. After proper training the student may be able to deliver a kick at up to 80 miles per hour.

The course in Jakata, taught in Flushing, New Work by Lent, requires fifteen weeks of drill, after which time the students undergo a three hour practical examination. If the student performs to the satisfaction of Lent, a diploma, certification card and a pin are awarded. These all contain the Jakata emblem which is the Japanese symbol for a man in motion. If the student does not pass the examination, he is tutored by Lent free of charge until he measures up to the standards. Students with the Jakata diploma are warned not to use their skill offensively, as New York State requires proof of self defense in any case in which Jakata has been used.

All prospective students are care- fully screened by Lent and any undesi- rabies are turned away. After the fifteen week course is successfully completed, a written recommendation by Lent and a further two week course qualifies a student as an instructor in the Stra- tegic Air Command.

The first thing Lent emphasizes as the first step in any fight is the Judo ideal: "Run home honorably."

Florida State over T.C.U. - Florida upset Miami last weekend with brilli- ant play from quarterback Steve Tensi and halfback Fred Biletnikoff. I feel they will do it again against T.C.U. and their star fullback Tommy Crutch- er.

Southern California over Oklahoma - Defending national champs South- ern Cal, and the powerful Sooners of Oklahoma square off at Norman, Oklahoma. The Trojans5 featuring guard Damon Bame, halfback Willie Brown, quarterback Pete Beathard, and All-American end Hal Bedsole, will be too tough for the Sooners and fullback Jim Crisham to handle.

Washington over Pittsburgh - This game pits a powerhouse of the West against a powerhouse of the East. Pitt has a big line which averages 226 pounds, but Washington's new "I" lormation will penetrate this seeming- ly immovable object enough for the Huskies to come away with the bacon.

Miami over Purdue - Miami, upset last week by Florida State, will gain its first win at the expense of Purdue. All-American quarterback, G e o r g e Mira, had a bad night last Friday. He won't have two in a row.

Air Force Academy over Colorado State - Fresh from an upset over Washington, the Falcons will continue to fly high.

Any Wilkes student interested in taking a course in Jakata next summer can get information by contacting the BEACON sports editor.

Army over Cincinnati - Coach Paul Dietzel of Army had to abandon his three team system because of rule changes, but by the looks of the Black Knights rout of Boston University, Dietzel has appeared to overcome that obstacle. Cincinnati just doesn't have the power to out manuever the Army.

Navy over William and Mary The Middies, with quarterback Roger Starbuck and halfback Johnny Sai, routed West Virginia. William and Mary will get the same treatment.

Syracuse over Kansas - Syracuse is on the rebound in college football and face a tough opponent in the Jay- hawks. The Orange line averages 228 pounds, and this factor is enough to stop Kansas.

L.S.U. over Rice - L.S.U. ventured into the Southwest conference last week and beat Texas A&M. I pick L.S.U. to repeat itself.

Georgia Tech over Clemson - Tech's defense and quarterback Billy Lothridge will make it a long afternoon for A.C.C. standout Clemson. While tough in its own league, Clem- son is no match for its strong inter- sectional foes, as last week's loss to Oklahoma proves.

Arkansas over Missouri - Arkansas with 24 returning lettermen is too powerful for Missouri. Missouri is hampered by too few returning lettermen.

Crystal Bull Returns br Crack

At College Grid Predictions by David Dugan

With the aged crystal ball polished up since last issue, and the rabbit's foot hung in a conspicuous spot on the wall, the BEACON reveals its mystic powers with chin out and fingers crossed. This season an attempt will be made to forecast the outcome of some of the major college games being played in the nation.

For a better vantage point from which to consult with the spec- tral powers of the Great Beyond, I will take my assorted parapher- nalia and perch myself upon a well chosen limb to make my first selection.



LINE Up by Clark Line, Sports Editor

In Europe, one of the major sports pastimes is automobile racing. Coun- tries all over continental Europe and Great Britain meet on such historic and famous battlegrounds as Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, and the Nurburg Ring, to literally test the metal of their machines. The European iron includes the worlds best, with such names as Ferrari, Jaguar, and Maseratti.

Currently in this country there is a revival of sports car racing which calls to mind an era of magnificent machines driven by men whose nerve and devotion to their profession is unsur- passod in sports history. Such names as Phil Hill, Stirling Moss, and Dan Gurney are among the present day drivers who have distinguished themselves and their cars.

But, according to Ken Purdy, in his Bantam publication entitled, "The Kings of the Road," a man by the name o Tazio Giorgio Nuvolari was the driver who surpassed all others, past and present, in skill, nerve and racing acclaim.

Born in Mantua, Italy in 1892, Nuvolari began racing automobiles in 1921 after gaining fame as a motor- cycle racer. He placed 2nd in his class that year in the Garda Circuit (his first race), and returned the next year to place 2nd overall. It was not until 1924 that he won the Tiguillio Circuit, his first major victory.

From 1924 to 1927, Nuvolari returned to the cycles. In 1927, he placed fifth in the world's toughest race, the Mille Miglia.

The Mille Miglia was a gruelling 1,000 mile (Mille Miglia means "thou- sand miles" road race beginning at Brescia, running through Rome and returning up the Italian "boot" through Florence, Milan, and back to Brescia. Nuvolari completed the course

in 16 hours, 18 minutes, and 59 seconds in winning. He was the first man to average better than 62 miles psr hour on the course.

OWES FAME TO DARING In his lifetime. Nuvolari was to go

on to win 64 of 130 races, 54 of them being won regardless of engine class. In all, he won 12 grandes epreuves (first rank) and 49 grands prix. With Nuvolari it was win or tear your machine apart trying.

Yet it was not only the remarkable ability of Nuvolari to win which ele- vated him to the pinnacle of the greatest driver in the world. Nuvolari's unshakable courage was actually re-

sponsible for his enviable record. Once, in his cycling days, he was

confined to bed for a month, which would have caused him to miss a race. His friends carried him to the track at his request, in spite of the fact that he was in a cast, and seated him on his bike. He won the race.

Another occasion found Nuvolari in the Monte Pellegrino in 1950. He had to fight to bring his automobile back to the roadway after one wheel had dangled over the edge of a cliff. To Nuvolari, this incident was common- place.

He himself recalls an incident which found him faced with the predicament of being forced to leap from a racing car which was engulfed by flames and traveling at 100 miles per hour.

Near the end of his career, Nuvolari sfas unable to contend with the gas fumes from his engine and after several attempts to correct his ailment, he finally capitulated. Nuvolari died at home in 1953, after 29 years of racing magnificence which was in itself a significant and remarkable ac-

complishment.

SOCCER TEAM DEFEATED BY ALUMNI;

VARSITY AIDS IN OWN DOWNFALL

by Don De Franco

Last Saturday afternoon the Wilkes varsity soccer team suffered a 3 to 2 loss at the hands of the Alumni in a hard-fought contest at Kirby Park. Fifteen graduates appeared for the game which is played annually.

The Alumni drew first blood when three minutes after the opening whistle had sounded, Paul Beers' boot took a freak bounce and skittered by varsity goalie Louis Szabados. The varsity, not to be outdone by the old-timers, came roaring back and tied the score with co-captain Walt Prusakowski's thirty-foot boot.

The remaining minutes of the first quarter and most of the second quarter were dominated by the varsity. Led by the passing of junior half-back Al Gilbert, the Ferrismen threatened to score innumerable times but were thwarted each time by the strong Alumni defense of Erwin Guetig.

In the waning moments of the second quarter, the Alumni organized their forces and began a determined drive toward their opponent's goal. George Gaucha zipped one into the net and the Alumni led at the half, 2 to 1.

The varsity struck back with ven- geance in the 3rd quarter and tied the score with a goal by Ted Gourly. The contest remained deadlocked throughout the third and most of the fourth quarter.

Then, with two minutes left to play in the game, the Alumni scored the goal-winning tally on their second freak play of the afternoon. One of the grads boomed a towering kick toward the varsity goal, and it fell between Paul Beers and an unidentified varsity- man. In the ensuing struggle for pos- session, the varsity member butted the ball the wrong way and it sailed past his teammate into the net. The Ferrismen tried desperately to score, but time ran out before they could mount an effective attack.

An outstanding sideline of the game was the outstanding play turned in by Walter Grey a junior transfer student from Annapolis, Walt teamed with the Alumni since he is ineligible to compete with the varsity. His addition to the squad next year should do much to bolster their offensive attack.

Former Wilkes stars who challenged the varsity were: George Gacha, Er- win Guetig, Charles Weiss, Lou Davis, Ronald Simms, Joe Morgan, Bill Lloyd, Frank Lepore, Charles Billings, Clyde Roberts, Ken Stocker, Charles Stocker, Paul Beers, and Mike Lewis.

The Wilkes varsity booters will open their regular season of 10 games at Lycoming College on Saturday. The squad, led by co-captains Dick Morgan and Walt Prusakowski, are coached by Jim Ferris.

to check against the normal and to determine the relationship between the enzyme and cancer.

The factors involving changes in embryological development was the basis for Charles Kravenko's summer project. To determine what actually influenced certain changes, he injected various sedatives into fertilized eggs. He then altered time factors, concen- trations, and other environmental factors, to determine any embryological changes in the fertilized egg.

Cue it Cuptain

College Thespiuns Plan to Open

Season with Situation Comedies "Adult theatre" will come to the

campus Oct. 2 to Oct. 5 through Cue and Curtain's presentation of two one- act plays, Jean Anouilh Cecile and John Mortimer's I Spy. Directed by Mr. Al Groh, these plays are Situation comedies that "make a satirical thrust at our society and the conventions we accept."

I Spy, which will run approximately forty-five minutes, involves the eter- nal triangle of wife (Beverly Hanko), husband (Al Airola), and lover (John Jarecki). The action of the story involves the attempts of a private de- tective to find evidence concerning the wife's escapades. Also included in the cast are Anita Minelli and Joe Muc- cino.

In Cecile, the heroine, played by Ruth Friedlander, plans an elopement which her distracted father tries to

prevent. Marc Hirschman, as the father, defines his role as "difficult", due to the quick changes of voice and temperament.

Joan Pitney considers her part as Araminthe, Cecile's go v e r ness, as "sixth-dimensional." Harris Tobias plays Araminthe's father, and quotes his favorite line as being, "I was hot- blooded when I was twenty." Ed Lip- inski assumes the part of Cecile's lover.

Bill Pucilowsky has designed the sets for both plays. The set for I Spy proved to be quite complex, because it requires three different acting areas which will be lighted when used.

Stage managers are Ed Lipinski and John Jarecki. Lighting will be handled by John Krip, Bill Pucilowsky, and Ed Lipinski.

Curtain time is 8:30.

Pound of Flesh Demanded by Tribunul by Bill Kanyack

Justice was meted out today at the Wilkes College Court of Common Pleas to a large number of wayward freshmen for gross misdemeanors committed during the past week. Judge George Evancho presided over this morning's hear- ings with Boyd Aebli and Steve Van Dyke serving as Prosecuting Attorney and Defense Attorney, respectively.

Attorney Aebli shocked the court with his testimony against Miss Sara Perugino. Making her second appear- ance in court, Miss Perugino was charged with invading a men's dormitory, bribing an upperclassman, and threatening to go to King's. Found guilty, Miss Perugino was ordered to polish the name plaques on the Library and on Stark, Pickering, and Chase Halls.

Insubordination to an. upperclassman, not knowing the Alma Mater, and not wearing dinks and sandwich cards headed the list of charges leading to the arrest of Richard Kramer, Tom Curry, Frank Dietrich, Sheldon Guss, and several other notorious members of the freshman underworld. Proven guilty on oil accounts, the defendants were ordered to raise their trousers to the knees and sing the Wilkes drinking song u'hile doing the bunny hop around the gyro.

Cindy Baker, star witness in the case of Margie Pearlman vs. the Court. could not help free the defendant of certain grave charges. It seems that Miss Pearlman, when asked by an upperclassman to get him a cup of coffee, laughed at said upperclassman and walked away. In addition, she is charged with refusing an upperclassman's acceptance to her proposal of marriage. Miss Pearlman, along with her witness, was sentenced to sing the Alma Mater in front of the entire court.

Education Club Plans to Attend Conference

by Harry S. Russin The officers and advisor of the Ed-

ucation Club will attend the Allen- berry Leadership Conference to be held at Boiling Springs this Friday and Saturday, September 27 and 28. Ralph Nozzolo, president; Judy Hand- zo, vice president; Molly Boyle, treas- urer; and Dr. Husler, club advisor, will be the respective officers attending.

The main purpose of this conference, which is being sponsored by the Pennsylvania Education Association (PSEA), is an exchange of ideas with other clubs throughout the state. The conference is designed for club officials and as president Nozzolo said, "it will vitalize organization" in the Ed Club.

While at Allenberry, special tours of the PSEA building in Harrisburg will be given. Workshops will be offered as a preparation for the forth- coming Future Teachers of America forums designed to aid prospective teachers in local high schools.

Some of the tenative plans of the club are as follows: an assembly program, featuring a prominent speaker, a dance, and a Christmas affair. Dur- ing the year, speakers and films will be offered to those interested.

Other officers of the club include Elaine Rock, secretary; Marilyn Davis, corresponding secretary; and Carol Hockenherry, membership Chairman.

W A A to Hold Dance The sports season at Wilkes will be

opened with a "Kick-Off Dance", Fri- day evening, September 27, in the gym. Sponsored by the Women's Activities Association the dance will be from 8:30 to 12:00. A band, will be featured. Admission is S.50.
