Look Homeward, Alumni! Activities Pack Action Weekend

Men and women graduates of the College will return to the Campus to- day in order to observe the Eighteenth Annual Homecoming. Russell Wil- liams, general chairman, and Matt Fliss and Darlene Moll, undergraduate co-chairmen, have planned a full schedule of events.

Tonight at 7 p.m. Matt Fuss will guide alumni judges throughout the Campus to view critically dormitory and organizational displays, all of which manage to project, in some unique manner, the general desire on Campus this weekend - to "heat Delaware Valley." Four categories will be considered by the judges: men's dormitory, women's dormitory, club displays, and overall displays. Criteria used will be originality, at- tractiveness, composition, and crafts- manship. Fliss reminds all those hav- ing displays that it is mandatory that lighting be provided for the entire evening and that displays remain in- tact for the whole weekend.

Car Caravan

Also at 7 p.m. a car caravan will depart from Butler Hall. Several torches will be provided for caravan participants. All students are eligible to enter the cheering caravan, the destination of which will be Nesbitt Park, scene of the bonfire-pep rally. Ed Pashinski and Norma Falk will emcee the rally. The queen and her court and College athletes will be in- troduced. Cheerleaders, majorettes, and kickline members will perform. All present will cheer the destruction of Delaware Valley and Hofstra, and burn the teams in effigy.

The Women's Athletic Association will sponsor a sport dance in the gym from 9 to 12 p.m. The Starfires will provide music. Norma Falk, Mary Stravelle, and Barbara Dorish are in

charge of Friday night's undergrad- uate activities.

It will proceed directly over the Market Street bridge, enter Kirby Park, and then move onto the athletic field. The caravan of cars is expected to reach the athletic field at 1:30 p.m. at which time pre-gamne ceremonies such as the judging of cars, will take place.

Kick-off time between the Colonels and Rams is set for 2 p.m. Half-time ceremonies will include a welcome by Matt Fliss and Russell Williams, in-

troduction of the Queen and her court, the official crowning of the Home-

coming Queen by Dr. Farley, and the presentation of gifts to the three young women by representatives of the cheer- 1ea'5, alumni, Beacon, and Student Government.

Homecoming Grads To Assemble Highlights For Reunions, Dance

Evalnatiun Homecoming activities will officially begin this evening at

7 p.m. Alumni from many sections of the United States, along with students and faculty, will gather for the weekend festivities.

While touring the campus to observe the work of the stu- dent body in the various and, hopefully, entertaining displays, alumni will also note many physical changes at the College.

Most alumni will view the Center for the Performing Arts for the first time. They will be exposed to the as yet unrecogniz- able skeleton of the Wright Street dormitory-cafeteria complex. Our new athletic field will be the site of tomorrow's football

game.

And yet, other changes have occurred at the College - changes that are intangible, but still important.

For the first time in decades, our football team has been enjoying a successful season. The College's enrollment has swelled to almost 1800 full-time students,

As the external College grows, progress in other areas is

also necessary. Academic standards must keep pace with phy-

sical improvements. But student-teacher relations must not suffer from this expansion. As stated in the 1965 Report of the Pres-

ident, we must " . . . maintain a close rapport among students, faculty, and administration,"

We hope that, as the alumni flock to the campus, they are proud of the growth of the College. With their enthusiastic donations of time and funds, they have been a major factor in

this growth.

Is Freedom Of Choice An Unalienable Right?

Dear Editor:

The College is commonly be- lieved to be a micro-society, an institution where an individual may learn what is expected of him in the 'real' society. Wilkes College serves this purpose in many ways but in an equal number of ways it falls short of the mark. Take, for example, the conception that the indivi- dual has, by definition, the pre- rogative to choose between 'right' and wrong. Although the choice of 'right' is important, far more important in a dem- ocratic society is the freedom associated with the choosing. Granted, there must always be some governmental rules to guide the individual and main- tain the stability of the organ- ized state. However, it is not the duty of the democratic state to restrict the individual from making the choice between the 'rights' and the 'wrongs' or to remove all wrongs from his en-

vironment. (Be advised that I I would welcome a well- am not advocating license.) turned phrase from the admin-

Case in point. A number of istration in answer to my ques- years ago all cigarette machines tions, but it is probable that were taken off campus. Grant- none will appear in this news- ed, it is not too difficult to sec- paper. If I were to sign this let- ure a pack at the J.C.C., the ter I would probably be singled post office, the gas station next out and gently persuaded that I to Parrish, or the Y.M.C.A. didn't really mean what I was The decision to take cigarette saying. Hence, the reason for machines was made after the anonymity, government-sponsored report linking cigarette smoking to cancer and heart disease. It is not the decision I question; rather it is the right of the ad- ministration to make that de- cision.

Rabble-Rouser We are called apathetic, but

those of us who fight for what we believe are criticized by the administration. No doubt at this very moment I am being categorized as a "crack pot" or "rabble-rouser." H o w e v e r thought and idea transcends name-calling and subtle black- balling.

The Educated Man In the future I would en-

courage the administration to pay more heed to the rights of students. Perhaps the adminis- tration could also include in "the marks of an educated man" (handbook) the right and ability to choose between right and wrong. To you my fond, but apathetic, fellow students, I say: Don't just sit there! If you agree with me, say so; if you don't, say so.

Student Defends Criticism 01 Vietnamese Policy

by Walt Narcum There has been much crit-

icism of the President's Viet Nam policy lately. 0 d d 1 y enough, in this oddest of all possible wars, the criticism has

come from both pacifists and those desiring stronger action in Viet Nam.

The pacifists demand that the United States withdraw its forces from South Viet Nam

and discontinue the bombing of North Viet Nam. The reason they give for this demand is that the South Vietnamese people have a right to choose their own form of government and their own leaders.

However, the facts show that people of South Viet Nam will in no way be able to achieve this goal by a United States withdrawal and the subsequent Communist takeover that will inevitably take place. In no country where the Communists have assumed control, have the people of that country been able to choose their own gov- ernment and their own leaders. As evidence, we only have to look to Cuba, Hungary, and all of the captive nations be- hind the Iron Curtain. There is no reason to suppose that South Viet Nam will enjoy a better fate than these nations.

Popular Support The pacifists go on to say

that the South Vietnamese do not support the war against the Viet Cong. This statement, also, is not borne out by the facts. The South Vietnamese army has faced the Viet Cong for many years and has suffered a high casulty rate in this war. Still, they show no sign of giv- ing up their struggle and sur- rendering to the Viet Cong. The United States cannot, in all consciousness, do less than the freedom-loving people of South Viet Nam.

Stronger Action The criticism of the Pres-

ident's policy has not come ex- clusively from the pacifists. His policy has also come under attack by those desiring strong- er action in the war. For in- stance, the minority House leader, Gerald Ford, has de- manded that we also bomb the capital of North Viet Nam,

"We Don't Use Flying Curpets" Alumni To See "Bessie Smith"

Or, Huroun-Al Rushid Reuppeurs Tonhte At Center by Leona Sokash

A few things I want to stress," laughingly declared Umid Nejim, new math instructor at the College - 'we don't use camels as our major mode of transportation; we also don't use flying carpets, and we have no harems." Although a former resident of Bagh- dad, which is in the central part of Iraq, Mr. Nejim's people are from the northern part of his country, from the land of the Kurds, a people noted for their flerc, stubborn individuality.

To begin a new Golden Age sim-

ilar to the periods of Flaroun-Al Rash- id and Omar Khayyam, when the sruggle for the establishment of their society was completed, Mr. Nejim said that present-day Iraq must "catch Lip with the twentieth century. You know, in 1921, there were only two high schools, no colleges, no decent streets, no telephones, no hospitals. Now. Iraq has four important univer- sities, the best of which is the Univer- sity of Baghdad, which has colleges ranging from the sciences to the fine arts.

In 1959 Mr. Nejim graduated from the University of Baghdad with a

r'.S. degree in electrical engineering. He later taught in the School of Radar n the Iraqui Air Force. With a coni-

hination of grants from the Univer- sity of Baghdad and the Carnegie In- stitute of Technology, Mr. Nejim was able to obtain his M.S. degree from Carnegie Tech. ("I liked Pittsburgh, and I have a number of friends there. The city reminds me of Baghdad: the streets are not straight - it isn't a

classical American town.")

At present he is working on his doctoral dissertation which is con- cerned with the transversal interacting of electron beams and electro-magnetic waves in wave guides.

Mr. Nejim feels American society is much more conservative than that of Europe in that our family units are stronger. "I myself come from a con- servative society where family ties are strong. Our families are big; they are what are known as the extended families," he stated.

Hamdi discussed Henry \Valcoller's experiments on his theory of disin- tegrating picture transmissions. A man in one room concentrates on the image of a camel; another man in a different room will draw a disintegrated image of a camel. Walcoller said that direct images are not transmitted by ESP but rather their emotional movement of action content.

At the meeting Hamdi passed out s.imulus cards to persons who then concentrated on the images on the cards. Others freely associated trying to see if ESP would be a factor in correct guessing. Hamdi stated that there is no evidence which substan- tiates the existence of any factor which gives people knowledge other than the five senses. ESP is only a

hypothesis or conceptional model to explain above average chance guesses of card stimuli in controlled experi- ments. All statistics have done is show a correlation between an individual's concentrating on cards and having above-chance positive scores in guess- ing the cards another person is look- ing at.

He also thinks that Americans are rather religious. "Iraquis are also a re- ligious people, and are also very tolerant. We do not kill Jews Seriously! One of my friends at Tech was an Iraqui Jew; and when he men- tioned this to some Americans, they would not believe him, He had to call me over to make them believe him Such blindness."

In foreign affairs, he feels that Americans are taking a greater in- terest in other cultures. We are no longer, according to Mr. Nejim, isola-

ted - only interested in ourselves, 'Americans are really very helpful to

foreigners. They have no snobbish or disdainful attitude towards them, In fact, they sometimes fuss so much over a foreigner that he may think he is a special case, And, you know, he shouldn't expect that."

0MW NEJIM

Like the authors of the UGLY AMERICAN, he also feels that in spite of American interest in other cultures and in spite of American desires to have these societies under- stand America, these feelings are not often transmitted to foreign nations, for the link between the United States and foreign countries - the embassy - often fails to achieve these ends. However, he also said, "The UGLY

Econ Club Hears Ass't. Labor Sec'y.

The Economics Club r e c e n t 1 y attended the fall meeting of the Labor- Management-Citizens Committee of Greater Wilkes-Barre in the WBRE auditorium, At the meeting a panel discussion upon the federal govern- ment's role as mediator in labor dis- putes was held. One distinguished mneniber of the panel was United States Secretary of Labor, James J. Reynolds. During the discussion, Mr. Reynolds pointed out that the federal intervention in labor relations is usually requested by groups involved in the strife. He also emphasized the fact that the government intervenes only when all other mediating efforts have been deadlocked or when its aid is dedicated to free collective bar-

gaining.

AMERICAN is at last a reality in the Peace Corps."

To Mr. Nejim, it seems that Ameri- cans are still suffering from the com- plex that our literature, art, and music are inferior to those of Europe, "Because an opera company is from Europe, this does not mean that it is better. I find the Metropolitan Opera fantastic - better than any other I've seen. Europe has, perhaps, a more historical backround for its art, but this does not imply that its art is better."

He notes that Americans have "quite a respect for higher educa- tion; though I do think the trend is too much into the sciences. Too many people are entering the field because they are only attracted by the money. But after they leave college, they'll have to continue their studies. And if they don't keep Lip, if they don't have a real interest in their subject they'll be thrown aside."

He sees no real anti-intellectualism in the United States, He stated. "Well, the American public seems to dislike beatniks. And if they consider beat- niks intellectuals, their dislike of such groups may be a sign of anti-intellec- tualisni." He also feels that the anti- automation attitude among people who are too old to be retrained and who feel that technical progress seems to be taking food away from them may be cons'rued as an anti-intellectual at- titude. But in general, he feels that the terni intellectual is getting rather blurred when it is applied to bearded lovers of existential philosophy and poetry. He believes that intellectualism should apply to logical argument, to logical thinking.

During a past winter season, Mr. Nejin and a friend camped on the way down to the Florida Keys. He disliked the South's high humidity ('Most of Iraq has a very dry, hot temperature.") and most of the Flor- idian cities because "they were too ccmmercially oriented," He found the Everglades. where his friend and he spent a night, similar to the marsh regions in the south of Iraq. He also traveled through the Carolinas, Vir- ginia, Kentucky, and Maryland ("Do you consider Maryland part of the South?") He found people in the South rather sensitive about the subject of integration. But "the scenery is very nice and the food is good and cheap."

Besides his interest in his fields of electrical engineering, math, and phy- sics, Mr. Nejini is also interested in literature, music, and art. ''You can't always concentrate on scientific hooks, You'll lose contact with life,"

His favorite author is 0 m a r Khayyam, and he has a good collec- tion of this poet's works. "You know, Omar Khayyam really didn't drink much wine though many of his verses in the Rubaiyat are about wine and women - especially, 'A piece of bread, a flask of wine, and thou'." Mr. Nejim feels that Omar Khayyani wrote about wine and women in preference to mak- ing attacks on the fanatical religious groups of his time.

He has also read the works of such Western writers as Shakespeare, Ibsen, and Poe. He is especially delighted by Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes.

In his record collection he has one twist record and an original recording of Rachmaninoff playing his "Varia- tions on a Theme by Paganini." Two of his other favorite composers are Tchaikovsky and Beethoven.

'1 don't like either pop art or op art. I consider their subjects decorative

not aesthetic," But he especially likes the work of Renoir and the work of Van Gogh. "A Palestinian friend of mine, Shammout, had a

touring show of his work in the Un- ited States. Most of his subjects are from his homeland. He frequently paints old men, and his style is rather realistic and somewhat symbolic."

Roth Speaks At Assembly

Attorney Eugene Roth, a College alumnus, spoke in assembly yesterday. Roth, a resident of Wilkes-Barre, is an attorney at law with the Rosenn, Jenkins, and Greenwald firm. He re- ceived his B,S, degree in commerce and finance in 1957 from the College and his L.L.B, from Dickinson School of Law in 1960. He was the recipient of the Corpus June, Edward N. Pol- isher, and Law Week awards for scholastic achievement while at Dick- inson.

Attorney Roth has professional affili- ations with the American Bar Associa- tion, Pennsylvania Bar Association, Wilkes-Barre Law and Library As- sociations, American Trial Lawyers issociations, and the Junior Chamber of Commerce. He is an active member of B'nai B'rith, has served as treas- urer and vice-president of the Wilkes College Alumni Association, is current- ly a nominee for president with the election to he held during Homecoming Weekend, and has served as the chairman of the 1964 annual alumni campaign.

which has so far gone un- touched. He offers this crit- icism on the grounds that if the United States is attempting to win the war in Viet Nam, it should use every means at its disposal.

Such an argument is hard to counter and so far the President has not given a plausible an- swer to these charges. He has stated that the bombing of Hanoi would involve the bomb- ing of a civilian population and would not be justified at this time. This statement is not con- gruent with our policy to per- suade the North Vietnamese to halt their aggression against their neighbors to the south, Perhaps the President has some further knowledge of the situa- tion which would support his stand. If so, he should make it

Horowitz, the orderly by Carroll Cobbs, and Jack, Bessie's manager, by Edwin Mondo. Settings for this play were designed by Al Airola and Bob Salzburg. Alfred S. Groh, assisted by Miss Myvanwy Williams, is directing the production,

Casting has been completed for Chekhov's "The Marriage Proposal", which will be presented by Cue and Curtain the first weekend in Decem- ber.

This play centers about the landed gentry of old Russia and takes place at the turn of the century. The setting for the play, designed by Bob Smith. Bob Salzburg, and Stephen J. Gavala, will attempt to relay to the audience the atmosphere of a nineteenth-cen- tury Russian living room complete with ruffle-curtained windows, padded furniture, and icon,

The play revolves about the frus- trations encountered by a landowner in his attempt to propose to his neighbor's headstrong daughter. At the age of 35. faced with the dreary pros- pect of a solitary bachelor's life, he contemplates a marriage of conven- ience between himself and his prosper- ous neighbor's daughter. In this man- ncr the two neighboring estates would form a prosperous union, However, due to a slight misunderstanding, the contemplated marriage faces the dan- ger of remaining unformed,

Beverly Hanko Wisloski utilizes her previous acting experience in her role as the prospective bride, rebellious Natalya Stepanovna, Mrs. Wisloski has appeared in many Cue and Cur- tain productions, most recently in last year's presentation of Blue's "Man With a Tranquil Mind." Jan Kubicki, in his first role at the College, will portray the irate father, Stephen Stepanovitch Chubokov, "Marriage Proposal" will be directed by Stephen 1. Gavalas.

Albee's "The Zoo Story" will be presented at two evening performances on November 20. Dave Fendrick and Fred Harrison will recreate their re- spective roles performed last year at the Jewish Community Center. On the required reading list for freshmen, this play is being presented to enable them to have a clearer understanding of the philosophies that Albee has in- corporated into his work. Mr. Groh will restage this production.

Staging for all these productions will he handled completely by Cue and Curtain members, They will have full facilities of the new theatre at their disposal, employing many new innovations in staging techniques.

Al Airola will act as production chief for these presentations; Margaret Klein, chairman of staging; Bob Salz- burg, chairman of lighting; Jo Anne Margolis, costume and make-up chair- man: Stephen J. Gavala, chairman of house and program.

available to the public in order to consolidate the nation be- hind his position on the war in Viet Nam.

Test of Criticism The President has tended to

hold the view that all the crit- icism of his policy concerning the war has given the Com- niunists the idea that the Uni- ted States' resolution to support the war in Viet Nam is weaken- ing. However, just the opposite is true. If in some way the de- bate on the war in Viet Nam were to be curtailed, this fact would show the Communists that Our policy is not strong enough to stand the test of crit- icism, Constructive criticism by responsible people must be allowed to continue until we have a policy that will ensure the freedom of South Viet Nam.

Hcimdi Discusses ESP At Meeting

by Carol Gass

Mark Hamdi spoke recently on extrasensory perception at a joint meeting of Forum and the Psychology Club. He discussed the two theories of ESP: a ominant ability of the subconscious mind that has been lost in the develop-

rent of the more efficient five senses, or an ability being developed as the mind evolves in complexity, The factors relevant to ESP are similar Rorschach personality patterns, and being in a relaxed state. Distance is theoretically no obstacle.

Shinn Scirr Cheries Honor Dorm Rules

by Helen Dugan

While walking from South Street to East Northampton along River Street, one takes note of the various build- ings owned by the College. As one stands on the corner of South and River Streets, the spacious library towers over his image. As he walks down River Street, Chase Hall comes into view, then Dennison Hall. After Warner, Ashley, Butler, and Barre Halls appear, the next College build- ing to be viewed is the President's house - right? WRONG.

Friendly Birdbath After passing Barre Hall, one sees a

friendly birdbath in the yard adjoining the President's house. This birdbath is not present merely to acknowledge the relationship between the College and the S.P.C.A.; it announces the existence of something much more im- portant (if I may, dear S.P.C.A.) - that is. people.

At 130 South River Street, behind the flowing birdbath, is the residence of five rejected dorm students. This dorm, in order that it may be a part of them, has been nicknamed Shinn Scirr. (The reason for the name can he learned by a friendly call or visit to said residence).

Unnoticed The dorm is really only an apart-

ment, but the five girls who it accom- modates are full-fledged dorm students assigned to this building for the next year. although they have been ack- nowledged as such by very few. They posted their names on the birdbath to

let the College know they were a part of it but as students rushed by, the sign fell among the trampled leaves; and the rejected dormies futilely wait- ed on their living room floor hoping for the arrival of someone - anyone. But not even the man who was sup- posed to deliver their furniture would acknowledge the presence of their new dorm.

To put an end to the exclusion of these disclaimed students, the Beacon steps forward to honor them as the Dorm of the Week, which, since this will he its first and only presentation. is a very unique award.

Reprentative Group Enter the 'dormie debs'. Besides

being a part of the freshman, senior, and graduate classes, these dorm stu- dents represent a large part of the world, starting with Nancy Roney, who hails from Anchorage. Alaska, to Hiroko Ito. who has come to the Col- lege from Japan. Susan Respaut comes from Plcasantville, New York, and Noreen Considine and Irene Scheming are local residents.

Both Miss Respaut, who is a bus- iness education major. and Miss Roney who chose English as her major, are freshman class members. Miss Con- sidine, a psychology major, is a senior, as is Miss Scheming, who serves as the dorm proctor (the only female proc- tor on campus). Miss Scheming is a registered medical technologist and has returned to school to pursue her major in history.

The last, but certainly not least, of the girls is Miss Ito. She graduated from Hushi College of Pharmacy in

Japan, where she is a registered pharm- acist, and is doing her graduate work in chemistry.

While with its gigantic flr'eplace and its artistic birdbath, Shinn Scirr Hall

seems to be a utopic opportunity (after one learns to accept rejection). It has the same rules as any other girls' dormitory. Although each girl has a key to the apartment, there is a sign-out sheet on which the girls are expected to record their comings and goings. Under such an honor sys- 1cm it would seem that leniency would prevail, but such is not so. The girls respect the rules of curfew and quiet hours and they all comply with them. This compliance is not an odd action when one considers that each girl is one of five instead of one of 40 and

Girls living in Shinn Scirr Hall are Irene

D OR1VI RESIDENTS Scheihing, Hiroko Ito, Noreen Considine, Nancy Roney, and Susand Respaut (missing).

she therefore feels more obligated to each individual and to the dorm as a whole.

None of the girls have been dorm students before this semester; there- fore they cannot compare an average dorm with theirs, but advantages and disadvantages can be noted. In their situation, they learn to live more closely than do the dorm students. But they get to know fewer people more closely, while other dormies are dealing with many moore students in more distant relationships.

This leads to a feeling of not being 'in with the dorm students. The hard- est position to overcome is that of the two freshmen girls. Because this is their first year, they do not have a wide range of friends as yet and such a dorm situation as this is not helpful in acquiring the range of friends that is necessary for a full college life.

Another problem, though of lesser importance, is that of not being allowed to vote in I.D.C. because of their size. Although they send rep- resentatives on their own, their opinion does not count when a vote is taken.

The main advantage of Shinn Scirr Hall is that each member is allowed to show her capability of ruling her own life. So, although Shinn Scirr seems to be lacking in some respects, the opportunity it offers is not un- appreciated by its members who at present are very satisfied with each other, with their furniture (which they finally got (. and most of all with their birdbath, which marks the pres- ence of their unique Hall of Shinn Scirr.

WILKES vs. WAGNER - Earl Eckhart drives toward the Wagner goal with a Wagner booter following hard behind. The booters log now stands at 5-4 with three more games remaining in the 1965 season.

Booters Triumph Over Seahawks

by William Bush

The Wilkes' booters tallied another victory by defeating Wagner 4-I last Friday. Wagner had a record of 7-1

before they came up against the strong Wilkes team, This places the Wilkes record at five wins and four losses.

Wilkes opened the scoring in the

first period with a goal by Joe Kiefer

who plays center forward. The Wag-

ner offense was unable to penetrate the Wilkes offense until the third quarter of play. Don Spruck booted the other Colonels' goal in the second period giving the Colonels a 2-0 edge

at half-time. In the second half of play it was again Kiefer and Spruck who tallied for Wilkes. Wagner man-

aged to score in the third period, but

could not penetrate the Wilkes de-

fense after that. The game ended with Wilkes commanding a 4-1 lead over Wagner. 11111111111111 I 111IIlIIIlIIIIIII1III I 11111111111

Foreign Student Displuys Barre, Dozen,

Fine Soccer Performunce 230 S. River, Gore Triumph by William Bush

This week the Bcacon recognizes Edwin Manda for his outstanding per- formance on the soccer team.

Manda is a foreign exchange stu- dent from Zammbia in Central Africa. He began playing soccer at the age of seven and has continued playing ever since. Back home Manda was recog- nized as a good soccer player and held a position on his school team. This is quite an accomplishment in Africa be- cause of the mass participation in soccer.

Manda has been a key player in the Wilkes defense this season. He has occupied the position of left half- back from the beginning of the season. His fine kicking is the greatest asset he has contributed to the Wilkes defense. He has prevented many opposing offenses the pleasure of smashing the Wilkes net.

His activities at Wilkes include being a member of the chorus, Col- legians, ICEC, and Cue and Curtain.

When the University of Nevada awarded John Lauritzen his B.S.E.E. in 1961, it was only the first big step in the learning program he envisions for himself. This led him to Western Electric. For WE agrees that ever-increasing knowledge is essential to the development of its engineersand is help-

ing John in furthering his education. John attended one of Western Electric's three

On Wednesday the Dirty Dozen edged the Trojans, 18-14. In the East- ern Dorm League last Thursday, 230 South River won by forfeit over Ashley. On Friday, Gore shut out Miner by a score of 15-0. The East- ern Dorm League has completed its schedule,

COLONELS AXE INDIANS by George Pawlush

The Wilkes Colonels again retained their MAC. northern division lead by downing a stubborn Juniata Indian tribe, 30-20, before a large Parents' Day crowd at Huntingdon, Pa.

The Colonels, now carrying a 5-1

record, scored four touchdowns, a field goal, a safety, and an extra point in beating Juniata for the first time. The teams have met on the gridiron six times.

by George Pawlush

Last week the Colonels' defense again shone in forcing the Juniata Indians to a minus 43 yards gained rushing. This noteworthy display on the part of the defensive team makes it difficult for the Beacon to select only one outstanding football player of the week, In this issue we, therefore, would like to applaud the efforts of Brinley Varchol. Bill Layden, and P.

J. Kane. Varchol has been impressive all

year at his corner linebacker slot, Mainly covering the short pass zone, he has two interceptions to his credit this year. Against Juniata, Varchol recovered a fumble in the second quar- ter, setting up the Colonels for their third score. Later in the fourth quar- ter he provided the game-clincher by picking off an Indian aerial and romp- ing 48 yards for the touchdown.

Varchol, a sophomore math major, is

a 6 foot, 195-pound localite. At Wilkes he lettered in football in his freshman year, and while a student at Hanover High School he lettered in

football and wrestling. Layden, at 6 foot, 2 inches, and

225 pounds, is one of the biggest play-

ers on the Colonel squad. A freshman business administration major, he has been equally outstanding in the grid war.

On most Saturday afternoons Lay- den can be seen charging out of his

fense again proved supreme, throttling the Juniata offensive attack and limit- ing them to a minus 43 yards rushing. In a game marred by fumbles and blocked punts, the Colonels took ad- vantage of the breaks and overcame an early deficit to cop the victory.

The Colonels received the opening kickoff but failed to mount a sub- stantial ground attack and were forced to punt. An aggressive Indian defense blocked the punt. An alert Juniata line- man pounced on the ball in the Col- onel end zone and went over for the quick touchdown, putting Wilkes be- hind 7-0.

tackle position and trampling enemy quarterbacks. Against Juniata, Layden had a field day keying in on the Juniata offense and mauling enemy rushers for huge losses.

Layden formerly displayed his foot- ball talents at G.A.R. High School and Lakemont Prep in New York. At G.A.R. he lettered in football and track and participated in the Unico game in his senior year.

Completing the trio of linemen is

5 foot, II inch, 210 pound P. J. Kane, a freshman middle linebacker. During a pass attack, Kane can be seen blitzing the quarterback or covering the short pass zone. Against Juniata, he added many tackles to his rapidly growing collection. Saturday he in- tercepted an Indian aerial on the 29 and with the grace of a halfback he plowed to the 14 where he was finally stopped.

The Colonel grid machine then went into high gear with John Gardner, Rich Roshong, and Ray Lowery gob- bling up most of the turf. The attack seemed stalled on the Juniata 31, but a 22 yard pass from Roshong to Joe Skvarla put the Colonels in a good position on the 9-yard band. One play later Gardner scampered through the Indian line for the Colonels' first score. Purta's placement was on its mark, tying the score at 7-7.

Later in the first quarter Al Yatko recovered a Indian fumble deep in Juniata territory. Minutes later the Colonel ground attack again went into

Midway into the second quarter Brinley Varchol recovered a fumble on the Indian 15. Six plays later Rosh- ong scampered in for the Colonels' third tally. A two point conversion attempt failed, but the lead increased by twelve points. Seconds later P. J. Kane also got into the act by thieving an Indian aerial, but a Wilkes scor- ing drive fizzled. Taking possession deep in their own territory, Juniata failed to move the ball and was forced to punt. Al Yatko blocked the punt, resulting in a safety. The scoreboard now read 2 1-7.

Purta completed the first half scor- ing by splitting the uprights from the 20, giving him field goal number three for the season. The Colonels went in- to the locker room holding a 24-7 command.

The third quarter was played to a standstill with neither team able to crack the other's goal line. Early in the fourth quarter Juniata exploded

Going into last weekends clash with Juniata, Wilkes ranked number two nationally among small colleges in rushing offense with a total of 1,533 yards gained on 332 rushes for an average of 306.6 yards per game.

In addition, the Colonels are ranked tenth in total offense nationally, with an average of 386.4 yards gained per game on 380 plays; total yardage gained amounts to 1,932. On total defense, Wilkes ranks thirteenth in the nation, having allowed only 689 yards to opponents for an average of 137.8 yards per game. The average is

computed on 269 plays.

Also on a five-game basis exclud- ing the Juniata clash, figures released from the M.A.C. office last week re- vealed that Paul Purta held the pos- ition of top rusher in the northern division, having racked up 396 yards in five games for an average of 79 yards per game. As of last week also, quarterback Rich Roshong held down the number two position with 395 yards gained, followed in fourth place by Ray Lowery with 335 yards.

Joe Skvarla ranked number six in the division among pass receivers, hav- ing caught eight passes for a total of 212 yards. Purta held second place in individual scoring with 31 points to his credit as of last week.

In addition to these division leads, Wilkes also dominates the division team statistics by holding down five Out of eight positions as of last week. The Colonels held down the top spots

for a touchdown, aided by a roughing the kicker penalty. Minutes later an inspired tribe struck again; this time with the help of a blocked punt. The conversion attempt failed, and the Colonels' lead narrowed to 24-20.

Late in the quarter Juniata's quar- terback took to the airways, as ex- pected, and appeared headed for a touchdown. Varchol, however, struck again and snatched an Indian aerial and raced 48 yards to paydirt in the final seconds of the game.

Colonels to Host

Deluwure Aggies For Homecoming

by Frank Rodella

Tomorrow at 2 p.m. the Colonels host the Delaware Valley Aggies in a Homecoming contest at the Wilkes Athletic Field. The Colonels will be out to display their championship form for the returning alumni and reverse last year's 21-13 defeat at the hands of the Rams. Also, the formal dedication of the new athletic field will take place tomorrow.

The 1964 meeting of Wilkes and Delaware Valley saw the Rams, who are coached by H. W. Craver, a Wyoming Valley native, pull out their first victory in the series after three consecutive losses. In the '64 edition of the series, the Rams also enjoyed their greatest rushing game ever with 256 yards.

Two Rams' stars back from last year are quarterback Gary Ulrich and halfback Joe Franchella, a native of Plains. Franchella was the Rams' out- standing player in last year's meeting with 167 total yards and 74 yards on one touchdown carry. Along with these two school records, Franchella also intercepted a Colonel pass. The suc- cess that the Colonels have in contain- ing Franchella could he one of the key factors in this year's contest, The Rains, who have 16 returning letter- men, tallied a log of 3 and 5 last sea- son.

The Colonels are favored to win their fourth gamne in a five game series with the Aggies of Delaware Valley.

Manuscript Meeting The Manuscript society will hold

its next meeting in room 209 at Con- yngham Hall this Tuesday, November 9, at II am. The next film to be pre- sented by the society will be David and Lisa, on November 19.
