OPEN LETTER TO THE STUDENT BODY

Dear Students: In this issue of the Beacon you will see the revised budget

recently approved by the Student CounciL In view of the seem- ingly drastic cuts, the Student Council would like to explain to you the various causes for them.

Last year the enrollment at Wilkes was approximately 900, and this year it has dropped to about 700 students. This has caused a decrease in the Student Activities Budget from $23.550 in 1949-50 to $14,350 for the present school year.

This year the various organizations requested a total of $20,382 in allocationsthe amount available differed by $6,032. It was the Student Council's unpleasant task to equitably dis- tribute this deficit among the affected organizations.

It is the purpose of the Student Council to serve the student body as a whole, and it has adjusted the budget with this purpose as its basis.

Signed, THE STUDENT COUNCIL Athletics .. $5700 Beacon . 2150 Cue 'n' Curtain 800 Manuscript 400 Band 600 Boys' Dorm .. 100 Women's Dorm . 60 I. R. C. 205 Choral Club 150 Debating Team 300 Amnicola (Yearbook) . 2700 Social Activities 1300

The foregoing budgets are tentative. The list will now ap- pear before the Administrative Council for further action.

EDITORIAL

A BELL HAS RUNG

Hallowe'en, 1950 To the Editor

I certainly was thrilled to see my name in print last Friday. and Tony hit the nail right on the point. only he had one little thing kind of mixed. It wasn't a C I made instead of a B, It was a B instead of an A. And it wasn't Commercial Art 216. it was 219 and not Commercial Art but Retale Personal Relationships. Outside of those points Tony had it correctly except I wasn't in the Drama Society I was in the Cue and Cushion Club.

Getting a B in Retale Personal Rela- tionships was quite a surprize but a B at Wilkes is worth an A on any other campus according to my faculty advisor I wasn't very worried about it. My parents were furious however that my perfect A record had been broken.

Actually I didn't spend too much time at the Cue and Curtain Club. Really. I think it is very considerate of the registrar to schedule that one hour a week at eleven each Thursday for all our club meetings. By careful plan. ning I can spend ten minutes each at Theta Delta Deck, the Bacon Office, The Chemical Club. the Intraclub Coun- sel, the Yell-leaders, and still have ten minutes left over in which to eat my lunch before I go to my twelve o'clock class. And I also gave my nickel to the community chest.

As for all those books. I manage to get my physics' experiments written during assembly, my advanced quant problems worked on the bus to Glen Lyon. and my German as I walk from

one class to another. That leaves me all night to read the books. They only ask for spot quotations with punctua- tion so it isn't too hard.

If all goes well I'll be able to write one of my term papers on the bus going down to Bloomsburg. But I agree with Tony. I certainly feel sorry for that embryonic Pasteur who only got a C instead of a C-plus in Bacteriology because that is only worth a B on any other campus and one can't maintain a very good average with B's.

Yours truly, ERMA ZILCH

Dear Mr. Fiditor, I hope you've learned your les-

son! I've just gotten wind of the detafls on the Esquire Calendar girl contest sponsored by the BEA- CON last week, and I think that the whole thing was a farce.

First of all, you didn't have enough publicity on the campus; the majority of students were un- aware of the voting time or place. Sure, you ran stories and pictures in the BEACON, but only once, in an insignificant point at the bottom of a story, did you explain the where and when of th.e voting.

Consequently, as I understand it, only 38 students voted. That's downright disgusting, Mr. Editor, downright disgusting! Each person was called upon to vote for five beautiful co-eds. Are there that many beautiful co-eds on campus? Are there that many co-eds

NEW ATOMIC PROJECT BEGUN BY DU PONT

In a recent. announcement to its stockholders, the du Pont Com- pany of Wilmington, Delaware, ex- plained the reasons for the forma- tion of plans covering the desigil construction, and operation of new production facilities for atomic tha- terials. The Atomic Energy Com- mission, according to the announ- cementr recommended that du Pont again take up reins for an atomic project because the project "is of vital importance to the security and defense of the United States" and that the du \Poiit Company "is peculiarly well equipped in technical personnel and resources as well as by experience to under- take this great task."

In 1946 the du Pont Company ceased operations on the Hanford atomic energy project. The company withdrew from the project because its heads felt that, with the country at peace, more con- centration might be applied to du Pont's chosen field of chemistry, leaving atomic energy to compa- nies more closely allied with the field of physics. However, today the company has once again an- swered the call of its coui'ttry.

The new contract provides that the Government pay all costs, that du Pont receive a fee of one dollar, and that any patents growing out of du Pont's work become the property of the Government of the United States. The new project will entail the duties of many expert management and technical employees. The whole of the project constitutes a substanti1 con- tribution by the du Pont Company.

My reports indicate that everyone from Earl Wolfe and Jack Feeney to Dr. Craig received votes. How'do you explain that, Mr. Edi- tor? It seems to me you have managed to make the contest a very slip-shod affair. Stick to your business, sir,

For the most part, the votes cast last Thursday undoubtedly were for attractive specimens of feminine pulchritude. Yet, what- ever the outcome of the contest, I certainly hope that in the future you will leave beauty contests up to the Amnicola staff, the Cinder- ella Ball committee, and the Let- terman April Showers Ball committee. I'm beginning to think we have enough beauty contests on campus.

STUDENT GOVERNMENT REPORTS

By CONNIE SMITH

After two long and arduous sessionsone special and one regular----ties Student Council finally achieved an almost satisfactory distribution of the budget. Duo to the sharp drop in enrollment the money allotted to the Student ctivities Fund was greatly decreased, causing an ensuing cut in the various oiquniza- tions' budgets.

On October 19, the Student Council held a special meeting to which the representotives of the organizations included in the budget were invited. Repre- sentatives from ten clubs appeared, made their requests for funds, and uave a breakdown of their proposed budgets. Two of the ten organizations present 'e- quested cuts which would hove decreased the budget by $1040. As the amo't allocated to the Activities Fund had dropped from approximately $20 oao to $14,000, the Council had to reduce by that much the proposed allotments, M'o:h discussion was held by the Council members, club representatives, Miss Ecu ser and Mr. Kersteen as to various ways to cut costs and increase the oxgana- tions incomes. The Council members remained after the meeting, and mode tentative budgets for the activities with the smaller requests.

On October 24, the Council hold its regular meeting. Prior to discussion of the budget, the Council planned the Colonels' Caravan to Williamsporl in operation with the Cheerleaders, set up standing committees, and discussd initiations and sport dances,

Then the problem of the Student Activities Fund was placed before tse meeting, and for over two hours the Council hashed and re-hashed the vctric-ls items in order to eliminate the $6,000 requested above the actual money allofi ci.

Every Council member presented his views, and, since, through them viltuakly all the clubs on campos are also represented, there were many and vari,d opinions on each budget submitted. However the conclusion was genera ly reached that oil organizations would have to have their finances reduced dxs- tically. For each organization were considered: (1) value to the schoc.1 as a whole, (2) proposed expenditures of their money, and (3) possible ways to mhii- mire costs so that they could operate effectively under the cut. As a res It the budget was so allotted that here now remains a deficit of only $115, wh:eh might possibly be eliminated in the near future by careful planning.

The Council realizes that the decreased funds will curtail some plans of the clubs, but it must be remembered that in previous years the Council, due to the school's huge enrollment, had funds to disperse that were 'way in excess ef the present budget. Last year's Council, with finances much decreased fro:t previous years, was able to opel-ate under its budget, and it is hoped tl-rrt tie 1950-51 Council will be able to do the some, despite the fact that the budgst has been again sharply cut.

The spirit for teamwork and cooperation is evident in the story on the right. Yet, the du pont Company is only one of the many organizations eager to aid their country in another battle for freedom. Freedom?certainly an intangible term. But we know what it means. The definitions will vary. From Maine to California we may find 150,000,000 different definitions, but they all add up to the same thing. The same is true of "the American way of life" or "the rights of free men" or any of the hundreds and hundreds of terms and phrases which are shuttling across air waves, through news presses, and across the back fences throughout our nation.

Yet, we should not be blind to the faults of our government. We owe it to our future generations, our neighbors and ourselves to take active part and interest in national and international affairs, We owe it to ourselves to vote. Whether it be a school or a national election, voting, free voting, remains our prime weapon to maintain that intangible freedom.

The foundation of our government is good; so, too, is that of the United Nations, And no matter what definition you may use for freedom, the term is a keyword in the structures of those organizations. We feel that the du Pont Company and all of the others who have gone "all out" in our present defense mea- sures realize the extreme importance of our battle for freedom.

We here at Wilkes should also take heed of national and world situations. We shouldn't forget that this is our world, too, and we're going to have to live in it.

Friday, November 3, 1950 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON 3

Presently, the black and white, divery, polka-dot contraption, sup- ported in the air by five weird- Looking wings, landed with a hard ounce on Chase Lawn. Just as I was about to phone

the city police, the state police, the secret service, homicide squad, the F.B.I., and Dr. Davies, I was astounded to see a tall, gawky form of a man step from the queer, iibrating craft.

"I say there," he called out as he waddled over toward me. "Is this London?"

"London? Not quite," I answer- ed. "You're standing on Chase Lawn of Wilkes College."

'Wilkes Col ...," he began. "That is odd. I must've made a left turn somewhere over Germany."

Then, noticing that I was star- ing at him with a puzzled look, his eyes lighted up as he extended his hand, declaring, "Oh, forgive me. Permit me to introduce myself. I'm Basil Barfly, the famous in-

ventor. No doubt you've heard of me in all the leading newspapers."

"No, can't say that I have. But what I'd like to know is where in the world you got that 'thing'," I replied, indicating the smoking, chugging object from which Mr. Barfly h.ad come.

"Oh, that's one of my inventions the flying saucermobile. Ever

since I quit my job at the office, I've been an inventor."

"Why did you quit your job?" "Well, I decided not to go back

to work until the boss takes back something he said."

"What did he say?" 'You're fired!'

"Was that the only job you ever had, Mr. Barfly?"

"No, not at all. During the last war I was employed by the Air ' orce."

"What was your job?" "I used to take the pilots around

to all the night clubs, so they'd get used to LOW DIVES."

"Are you married, Mr. Barfly?" "Yes, but my wife isn't very

good looking. In fact, she's rather corpulent."

"Really?" "Well I won't say she's actually

fat but every time she falls down she rocks herself to sleep trying to get up!"

"Then I suppose you have a happy married life."

"Not exactly. You see, ray wife used to walk in her sleep. But I finally cured that."

"How could you ever cure her of walking in her sleep?"

"I gave her car fare every night before she went to bed."

"Well, Mr. Barfly, is your wife like some wives - talkative?"

"Oh, I wouldn't exactly say she was talkative, but I had lockjaw for eight months before she even found out!"

"Well, it's no wonder she married you, Basil. There's something about you that's different."

"That's the same thing a lot of people have told me. You know, people always mistake me for Cary Grant."

"Really?" "Yes indeed. After all, there's

very little difference between Cary Grant and me. Except where Cary has long wavy hair and a straight nose, I've got straight hair and a long wavy nose."

"Have you always had such a red nose?"

"Oh yes. In fact, my father has a red nose, my mother has a red nose, my brother has a red nose and my sister has a red nose."

"In other words, red noses run in your family."

"Only in the winter time." "Mr. Barfly, you say you are

an inventor. Just what are some

of your inventions.., beside the flyingsaucermobile?"

"Well, just last summer I amaz- ed the scientific world with one of my greatest achievements! I successfully crossed a rubber plant with an orange tree!"

'Crossed a rubber plant with an orange tree? What was the re-

sult?" "Seedless golfballs!" "Astounding! Now I remember

reading about you, Mr. Barfly. You're the one who invented square peas - guaranteed not to roll off your knife."

"That's true. But one of my greatest has never been publicized. You see, I was the one who crossed a cuckoo bird from the hail clock w.ith a parrot, and they hatched an alarm clock that calls y o u names if you don't get up!"

"Say, that Is amazing." "Ah yes, but not half as as-

tounding as my newest invention." "What's that?" "A cigarette holder six feet long,

so a man can smoke in bed, keep his feet warm and give his wife a hot-foot at the same time."

"Now I can see why they call you the world's greatest inventor. By the way, have you any plans for future inventions ?"

"Positively. In fact, right now I'm working on the greatest invention ever created by man. It will definitely astound the entire scientific world!"

"What kind of an invention is it?

"I call it - - the baitless mouse- 'trap."

"Baitless mousetrap? H'ow does it work?"

"Well, I've designed it especially for people too p.00r to buy cheese. You just stand behind the trap and make noise like a piece of ch.eese. Y'ou whisper, "Swiss! Swiss! Swiss!" and w.hen the mice run in the trap, you 'slam the door and yell, "FIRE!" Then the mice trample themselves to death trying to get out!"

LARGE DROP IN ENROLLMENT

(Temple U. News) A s'urv.ey by Dr. Raymond Walters, president of the University of Cincinatti, shows a decrease in. college enrollment this year.

Almost 75 per cent of 492 approved American colleges and universities show sizeable decreases this year for full-time studen'ts, and almost 58 per c'ent are prepared for much smaller freshman classes. This fall's decline continue.s a down- ward trend begun last year.

Dr. Walters attributes it to the large 1950 graduating classes and to th'e small freshman classes which reflect the low 'birth rate 'of the 1930's.

Completing the over-all picture, 12 per cent of the institutions th.is fall show increases and 15 per cent show no change from last fall in total figures. In the freshman category, 24 per cent of the schools have more s'tudents and 18 per cent report no change from last year. As to the decline in enrollment, more institution's show decreases ranging from 8 to 14 per cent than any other bracket.

Women's colleges, as a group, h.ave slightly better records. Fif- ty-'thr.ee per cent show decreases, 2 per cent report no change and 21 per c'ent have increases in total enrollment.

Teacher's colleges, which in 1949 held up well in enrollment, report tha't 44 schools show decreases as large as 24 per cent, 12 show increases and 13 have no change.

A large proportion of institutions 'of all types noted fewer veteran-students attending.

John M. Rhoads, regis'trar, announced last week that University undergraduate enrollment showed a drop of 15 per cent as compared with last year.

"The unsuccessful c.ontest has not dampened the spirit of the staff in their endeavors to put out a rousing Cabaret Party," said the editor. "We may be down, but we're never out except on Fri- days."

As the interview ended, three co-eds pounced on the raving er, roving editor and dragged him a- way. his vigorous cries of"Vivi Ia Beacon" echoed over the campus as he disappeared from view.

BEACON REPORTER MEETS FAMOUS INVENTOR

WHO TELLS OF HIS LATEST DISCOVERIES

By CHUCK GLOMAN

As I left the campus cafeteria this morning, after gulping a potent glass of Coke (spiked with prune juice), I was halted ab- ruptly by a strange whirring sound that seemed to be coming from the sky. Looking up, I saw a strange object floating down from the roof of Chase Theatre. But what was it? A plane? A flying saucer? A world lit book?

FR'OM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT

The military needs and plans of the country are still somewhat uncertain, although it is definitely understood that we will have larger military services than we have had in the past. It has not yet been decided how large the Army will be. nor has it been determined just how the colleges will fit into this pro.. gram of military training.

It is generally conceived that what ever program we engage upon will be a long term program. This conclusion is justified by the foreign policy which the United States is now following. Our State Depariment has indicated that its ultimate objective is to establish some relationship among nations, which will make possible the maintenance of peace. You can recognize tremendous adjustments in our thinking and in the thinking of other nationalities that must be made if this objective is to be obtained.

Meanwhile, it is definitely understood that military strength will be necessary to prevent the spread of Communist Imperialism during this period in which some international organization is being developed. It seems best, therefore, to consider the armaments program as a part of a long range foreign policy aiming towards international cooperation for the maintenance of peace.

At the present time, the following policies seem to be sufficiently certain to guide us in our personal planning:

POSTPONEMENT

Students who ore now enrolled in college will not be drafted during the current school year. so long as their work is satisfactory.

Should a student be called who is not in the enlisted reserve, he should immediately report to Mr. Morris or Mr. Ralston, so that a request for postponement may be submitted to the proper draft board.

RESERVES

Students who are in the military reserves may or may not be called. The policy varies with the individual services, and with the demand for men possessing special technical qualifications.

Should a member of the enlisted reserve be called during the year. It may be necessary for the student to leave on the date specified In his orders. It Is. however, worthwhile to consult with Mr. Morris or Mr. Ralston concerning a postponement which would enable the students to complete the current term. There is no directive which will assure the postponement of any member of the reserve, but the services do seem to make concessions whenever practical. It is. therefore, deemed worthwhile to consult with the college authorities re- garding a postponement until the end of the current term.

DEFERMENT

There is a possibility that after this year some plan will be developed whereby students with strong records will be deferred. so that they may continue their studies. Suggestions now receiving consideration indicate that a national test may be given, and that standing in the upper half of the class will bear considerable weight.

Because it is likely that the East-West situation will be protracted, It seems advisable that every effort be made to further your education. Some Interruption may be inevitable, but the armed services are seeking trained men, and are encouraging many of their men to obtain training. It Is inevitable that education will play a serious part in the struggle. The problem of the nation Is to develop a program which will obtain the necessary military strength while. at the same time, it continues the education of its young people. Ills recognized that an informed and intelligent citizenry is as essential to the maintenance of freedom as is an adequate defense program.

BEACON BEAUTY CONTEST BIG FLOP; "TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE", SAYS EDITOR

By HOMER BONES

"The Beacon sponsored beauty contest was a total failure," said Editor Tom Robbins, in a exclusive Beacon interview last Monday afternoon. "It was a case of too little too late," he added. "We began the contest too late and got too little response."

Colonels Lead Caravan To Bloomsburg Tomorrow SPORTS NOTICE!

For those Wilkes soccer fans and players who thought that Paul Beers' soccer story on the East Stroudsburg game was unfair, we publish the fol-

lowing excerpt from the East Stroudsburg school newspaper's account of

the game: "Outstanding players on the field that day were Bob Rhinehart for the

victorious Warriors and Tom Patrilak for the losers. Although five goals were scored against Patrilak. he looked good in defense of the forty three that didn't go through."

Even though they didn't get his name straight. we feel that they gave credit where credit was due.

In order to better acquaint the student body with the "Colonels" of our various sports, the Beacon is again running the "Meet the Colonels" column of

previous years. We are starting off this year by mentioning several outstanding "Gridmen and "Booters".

One of the key men on the 1950 Wilkes line is JACK JONES who holds down the first-string center position. Last year he alternated on the varsity with Sam Elias and Al Dalton. Before coming to Wilkes. Jack played with Wyoming Sem and Plymouth High School.

A former Hanover High School star OLIE THOMAS, first string guard. is one of the three married men on the Wilkes team. After completing his high school work. 011ie saw six years service in the Army before coming to Wilkes in 1947.

One of three returning varsity backs from the '49 team, AL NICHOLAS. Sophomore, is regarded as one of the best halfbacks ever to play at Wilkes. Fleet-footed Al played ball at Auburn High in New York and was named all- state in his senior year.

A graduate of Kingston High School in '42. LEO CASTLE played four years of football there, being named to the all-scholastic team in his senior year. Leo was high scorer on last year's squad, tallying sixty points in six games.

Some of the outstanding men on coach Partridge's team are: CARL WALLI- SON. graduate of Kingston High in '44. earned his football letter as a halfback. He also served in the Navy for two months in such places as the West Indies and the South Atlantic. He was also a letterman on last year's squad.

CHARLES THOMAS. another two-sport athlete at Wilkes. Chuch spends the winter sport season with coach Laggans' wrestlers as first string one thirty si,:-pounder. A graduate of Forty Fort High School. he spent eighteen months in the Army before entering Wilkes.

COLONELS TAKE LYCOMING, 27-14; WIN SECOND

STRAIGHT, FACE BLOOMSBURG TOMORROW

By PAUL B. BEERS

It was Home-coming Day at Lycoming College last Satur- day, but for the old grads that were back to "cheer the kids on" it was just miserable. The Colonels were in town, and Williams- port isn't big enough to hold Wilkes College and Lycoming. Something had to give, and it was Lycoming. The final score was 27-14.

From the outset it was no dark, deep secret who had the better team on the field. Coach Ralston's men were the favorites by a wide margin. In their four games this season, Lycoming hadn't scored one point, while handing out 130 points to the opposition. Their ex- trapoint kicker could have been one of the best in the nation or one of the worst. Nobody could tell, but it was a cinch that he wasn't bubbling with experience. Everything pointed to a snap victory for our Colonels. The Caravan just went along to add up the points.

But it wasn't until the final quarter that the Colonels put the game on ice. Poor, pitiful Lycorn- ing was in there all the time, and on the Wilkes bench the "Judas Priest" flowed like wine.

The Colonels started off fast, but go't nowhere, Eddie Davis and Al Nicholas made a couple first downs, but everytime they got close to the goal line something would happen and Lycoming would get the ball. For 12 minutes this went on, and then speedster Al Nicholas swept around the end, faked the line-backer, and was on his way for a 20-yard touchdown gallop. Jake Waters kicked the extra point.

In the second quarter, Lyconnng did something that they hadn't done since way-back-when. Their quarterback tossed a nice pass to his giant end and the kid went over for a touchdown, much to his surprise and everybody else's. Their extra-point kicker, all smiles, came in and booted it over, mak- ing it a 7-7 ballgame. For a while there, the old grads were feeling good, but it "hoppened." Nicholas got the kick-off on his own five- yard line and started to rip. Not a block was thrown, 22 men were

on their feet, and not a man touch- ed Al as he went the distance. It was the run of the year. Waters came in and made the extra point.

The second half was on the dis- mal side. The Colonels scored twice on passes from Nicholas to Manarski and McMahon and Ly- coming got another on a pass. Outside of that, nothing much hap- pened. George Eiias made some nice shoe-string tackles to give the fans a thrill and even Norm Cross caught a pass, but the game had slowed down to a walk. Still it was a nice day. The Colonels had takn their second straight and all was well.

This week we meet Bloomsburg in an afternoon tilt at Bloom. So far the Huskies have been undefeated. Last year we knocked them off with a 20-7 victory. They're not going to have an easy time this year either.

Colonels' Corner By ED TYBURSKI

You should have so much trouble! Coach Ralston has all of our sympathy and pity, but we're afraid that even they won't help. With three of his toughest games coming up, the coach finds himself with two of his ace backfieldmen riddled with injuries. Eddie Davis was converted to a fullback after the departure of Picton and was hurt in the Lycoming game. It is very doubtful if he will see action tomorrow afternoon against Bloomsburg. Halfback Gus Castle injured the muscles in his right shoulder and arm, and alas, there goes Wilkes' passing ace. Gus will see limited action for the remainder of the season. So we go into tomorrow's game with two strikes against us. We repeat, you should have such trouble.

Bloomsburg is one of the few undefeated college elevens in the state. It has rolled up impressive victories against Mansfield, Lock Haven, Miilersville, Shippensburg, and Kutztown. In their first four games, the Huskies amassed 125 points. In their last 17 games they lost only one, and that one was to Wilkes last year. Wilkes walked off the field with a 20-7 victory and one of the biggest upsets on the State gridiron. The Huskies will be out to avenge that defeat.

Let's take a look at that Bloom team. We don't know what starting line-up Coach Redman will use tomorrow nfternoon, hut we can look at what he has. Starting with the line, he has a pick of seven ends, four of whom saw action for the Huskies last year. Robert "Tookie" Thurston is a junior who was a pre-season favorite for a starting berth. Th 6 foot, 185 pound end is a good defensive player and a topnotch blocker. He hails from Sunbury. Another returning letterman is Russ Verhausky. A sophomore, Russ won his letter last year as a Frosh. Standing 6 feet and weighing 180, Verhausky is rated as one of the best ends on the squad. One of the many local Iads on the Maroon and Gold squad is John Dietz of Plymouth. John is 6 and weighs 190 and was a standout defense man last season. Two more returning veteran ends are Gene Morrison and Ed Tavaisky. Morrison weighs only 150, but fans say that what he lacks in weight he makes up in sheer guts. Tavalsky is the extra point specialist on the team. Last season he converted 25 points for the Huskies.

Redman has three tackles returning from last year's team. Dave Evans, a junior, is 6 and weighs 220 pounds. Al Emerlich is slightly lighter than Evans, weighing in at 215. Also a junior, Emerlich was selected on the All-State team while playing for Mt. Carmel High in 1$43. The lightest of the three vet tackles, Russ Looker, goes on fiat 200. Another All-State tackle, Looker also played football with the 11th Airborne Division in Japan.

The Huskies are also blessed with the return of veteran guards Frank Perry and Donald Cesare. Perry is a senior who is noted for his fine defensive work. Cesare, a junior, stands 6 and weighs 205. Ardell Ziegenfuse is a sophomore guard who broke in with the Huskies last year. Rated as one of the hardest, fastest charging guards on the Huskies' roster, Ardie is expected to hit full stride this year.

Two fine centers are back from last year's squad. Tom Schukis is rated as one of the finest line backers in the state. Tom McLaughlin is good on both offense and defense.

The Huskies have six of last year's backs wearing the Maroon and Gold. Let's take a quick run-down here. Starting with quarterback, Redman has Georger Lambrinos, a topnotch blocking back. The 200 pound blocking back also won letters in basketball and baseball. John Stonik, another Plymouth lad, is filling in the shoes of Steve Kriss, former Bloom great, now playing with the Bullets. Stonik is a cousin to Jack Jones, the Colonels center. Robert "Witchiboo" Lang, the high-stepping speed boy, is certain to give the Colonels a bad time. He has been a thorn in the Colonels' side for the past two sea- sons. Tom Spack and Dan Parrell alternate at the fullback slot. Par- rell is the offense star who has been having a lot of competition from Spack.

The Huskies squad is filled out with 31 first year men. On the 50- man squad, five men hail from Wyoming Valley with others represent- ing Hazleton, Berwick, and Old Forge. The local lads are Floyd Wil- liams, a tackle out of Ashley; Merlin Jones, Coughlin, guard; Walt Dysleski, another Coughlin guard; Charles Puckey, Nanticoke, guard; and the two Plymouth boys already mentioned. The Colonels will be in for one of their toughest battles of the season tomorrow afternoon, but 'we're pulling for them to bring the bacon home. Cheer the Colonels on! Take advantage of the Colonels Caravan! It will cost you only 75 cents, and the buses leave Chase Hall at 11:30 and return immediately after the game.

PREPARATONS FOR HOME-COM!NG

TO GET ROLLING

The Home-Coming Day this year is November 18, the day of the King's game. The Intra-Club Coun- cil is sponsoring the drive to de- corate the buildings with posters. The theme of the posters: Home- coming, and "Beat King's." The alumni will award prizes for the best posters.

Mr. Partridge, who is handling the affairs of the Intra-Club Coun- cil, has asked for all clubs to get their bids in for what building they want as soon as possible. The smaller clubs can join forces to get out a good job. He asks that you turn in your bid within the next week.

On Friday, the 13th, the alumni is holding its annual dance in the

Sterling for Home-coming, while the Student Council will hold a "Victory Dance," or "Cheer-lip- We'll-Get-'EmNextyear l)ance," whichever is the case, in the Gym after the game.

If everyone co-operates, we'll have the best Home-coming yet. Let's give them something to come home to!

ROOTERS TO MEET HOWARD, NOT HARRY,

AT WASfflNGTON, D. C. TOMORROW P. M.

By PAUL B. BEERS

The Colonels will be travelling to dear old Washington, D. C. tomorrow to meet Howard, not Harry, for their final game of the season. The boys will spend the week-end in the Nation's Capitol.. They'll see the White House, the Library of Congress, and a heck-of-a-good Howard University soccer team. But this isn't a sight-seeing tour. Partridge's men are going down to try to finish out a good season with a win over big. rough and tough Howard. It won't be easy.

This article is one of those what- can-you-say jobs. Yesterday the Colonels did battle with Lafayett.t over in Kirby Park, but the tustle was staged too late fo us even to get the score of it, let alone know who won. And all this comas from a guy who played in the game! Such is life.

Whether the Colonels took La- fayette or not won't mean much to Howard University. Year in and year out they come up with terri- fic soccer teams, so they don't have to play their games on paper. Last season Wilkes faced Howard University, the largest Negro col-

lege in the United States, and gave her quite a battle in losing a nice 4-2 game. It was really a moral victory for the Colonels. Howard finished the season with 10 victories and no defeats. Her star, Fedo Blake, collected a total of 26 goals. though he could only get 2 off the Colonels.That was a wonderful ball club that Howard turned out, and little old Wilkes College stack- ed up very nicely against it.

Howard will be tough, very tough , this year. Fedo and his friends are especially good at the game of soccer on their home grounds, and that's where they'll he this coming Saturday. As for the Colonels, we just don't know what to say. Nobody knows. Like Finnegan, you can't tell whether they'll be "on" or "off'. If they do play a nice game, the Colonels will make the home team hustle, If they don't, Howard will have everything to their liking. The whole affair is one of those "if" jobs.

Partridge will probably open up with the eleven that played such a great game against Ithaca. The line of Rowlands, Reynolds, Stock- er, Jones, and Beers looked good in that game. so they'll probably be back as a unit to give Howard a hard time. Mergo, Kovaichik, Eckmeter, Wallison, and Kurello look to be the backfield, but any- thing could happen. Unless Park- er Petrilak gets hit by a Mack truck or drafted, he'll he the man in the goal.

a soccer ball like he can throw the bull. As of late, this Kid, who is "the first

of his kind in Wilkes", has been tossing them pretty good. Usually they land anywhere from 35 to 45 yards away from our goal and right in one of our mere lap. No George. he's not for sale . . In the Bridgeport-New Haven foot-

ball game last Saturday one of the linemen bit the referee. This is a very cute trick, ii you con get away with it and you're not a vegetarian. But biting referees won't go over with the Colonels. Some of the stuff that have been running our games is liable to give you ptomaine poisoning . . . im Stocker is planning to publish his new book, "How to Score Goals and Influence People", sometime this winter. Though the book is sure to be one of the best, it won't be a best-seller. Dr. Kinsley is also publishing a new book , . . We don't want to be guilty of anthropomorphism but Rocky Reynolds has looked too good not to have scored a goal. He is the only kid on the line that hasn't wished one through. Of course, the Rock has a terrible disadvantage. He doesn't "tower" over people like brave Achilles and Peerless Preston. But, gee Rocky, we sure hope you make one, so that you too can he "one of the boys". The colonels are fed'up with opposing coaches that don't know the rule book. This also goes for the referees. These qents read it a long time ago and never peeked at it since. Maybe the Intercollegiate Rules Committee should prini up their stuff like the modern politicians----in comic books. Of course, there would have to he plenty of pictures and no big words . . . Here's one for the book. The other day scholarly Cyrus Kovaichik, the soccer team's big, burly fullback, went up to the Osterhout Library. Like Peerless Preston he strove up to the hibraria; and said, "Pardon me, but I'm a student. Could you tell me where I could find the 'Sir Roger De Cloverly Papers' by Joseph Addison?" "Why yes". replied the librarian. "they're in the Children's Sec- tion," Scholarly Cyrus then proceeded to dig a hole, climb into it, and pull it in after him . . . Does Howard University know that Wilkes College has a monster?

Rolling Wheels...

TONI MENEGUS

The name is Antoinette Marie Menegus, but you probably would not recognize this Big Wheel unless you heard someone call "To- ni!" Then you'd realize that the name belonged to one of the viva- cious members of the Senior Class.

Toni comes from Clifton, N. J., where she was an outstanding member of her class. The Drama- cLic Society, I.R.C., Spanish Club, Home Economics Club, and Glee Club were all part of her activities. When she reached Wilkes, she didn't slow down in her partici- pation in extra-curricular affairs. She served on the Student Coun- cil her Freshman year, and is a member again this semester, holding the office of Vice-president. Toni is also a Cheerleader, having been on the squad since her Sopho- more year. She is Captain, too, but due to a slight appendectomy (!), you probably haven't and won't see her jumping around much.

Theta Delta Rho has claimed part of this Senior's time; for three years she has been an active member, and this year she is Serv- ice Chairman of the sorority. Toni also belonged to the International Relations Club for two years, acting as Secretary her Sophomore year.

Aside from all these various worthy activities, Toni was a can- didate for Cinderella her Freshman year, which is one of the biggest honors the Student Body can be- stow.

Toni will graduate in June, and then she would like to do graduate work in Economics, her major field, perhas integrating it with teaching elementary courses.

Picking the program off the chair as I sat, I read, "Nineteenth An- nual Herald-Tribune Forum." And above that, a line announced this year's topic to be the "Mobilization of America's Strength for World Security."

After a cursory glance through the list of the nation's notables, who were scheduled to speak, I spent a moment in surveying my surroundings. I found myself to be one of some 2,000 people, wait- ing in various stages ,of antici- pation. Ushers brushed briskly past me, intent on their jobs. Heavy gold curtains and a sweeping arc of full-sized flags of all nations formed a colorful background for the impressive-looking people on stage. A jungle of wire and goose- neck microphones enveloped the speakers' rostrum. At a table be-

fore the stage, a crowd of report- ers and radiomen worked with calm efficiency. Everything was in order and keyed to the importance

CHUCK GLOMAN

The earnest looking young man pictured above isn't really earnest. He's Chuck, Chuck Gloman. You've probably seen him on campus hus- tling from place to place.

The active Junior spent his high school days at Meyers High School. In fact all of his school days have been spent in Wilk.es-Barre with the exceptioci of a year's stay at Miami Beach, Floiida. While at Meyers, Chuck was a cheerleader, received a letter in track, and act- ed in plays.

His extra-curricular activities did not stop when' he arrived on the Wilkes campus. The "busiest- boy-on-the-block" is going into his third year as a member of the Choral Club, as Publicity Mana- ger of thq AMNICOLA, and as a BEACON 'eporter and "corn" writer. Last year he was a member of the Student Council. This year he is a member of the Inter-Club Council.

Chuck has taken part in five (5) Cabaret Parties at Wilkes, in which he played "cultural, emo- tional" roles in Skinny Ennis' skits and devised his own act of songs and routines. He does excellent impersonations of Rd Skelton, Jimmy Durante, Digger O'Dell, Jose Goldberg (his own creation), Jimimy Stewart and the late Al Jolson, who he began impersona- ting in high school minstrel and amateur night programs. He is chairman of this year's BEACON Cabaret Party committees.

His major study is Journalism, and his hobby is home movies.

of the occasion. Yet, a blatant in- congruity overshadowed the set- ting. The hotel organist, complete- ly out of the spirit of the evning, romped loudly through the frivol- ous popular tunes of the day.

His was din short-lived, however, 5or Mn, Whitelaw Reid, the Tri- bune's editor and the Forum's host, soon introduced the first speaker.

Sir Gladwyn Jebb, permanent representative of the United King- dom to the United Nations, laud- ed the U. N. in recounting the struggles and victories of its first five years. He pointed out the fact that had the organization not ex- isted, the invasion of Korea might not have been stopped so effectively if stopped at all. Dolefully, he remarked that had similar action been possible in the 1930's, World War II might have been a- voided.

Logically following these re- marks, Lester B. Pearson, Cana- dian Secretary of State for rn-

ternal Affairs, showed the desire- ability of having a constantly alert U. N. Police Force, by remindim us of how costly in human life the delays in (oroa proved to be. He informed us that a resolution just passed by the General Assembly requires the member nations (if they adopt the plan) to maintain within their armies a few well- trained units which at any moment could he placed at the disposal of the U. N. The goal which Pearson hopes to see achieved, iio*ever, is a force made up of volunteers from all over the world, trained and handled directly by the U. N.

Walter euther, president of the United Auto Workers, vigor- ously called for a positive peace offensive by the free nations of the world. Long ago we took the price tag off waging war, he de- clared: now we must take the price tag off waging peace. Driv- ing borne his argument, he said, the total cost of the last war, when it has been paid for, will be

l,300,000,000,000.00. Th.e first year 0f the President's point IV Pro- gram, a promising attempt at peace offensive, is to cost $45,000,000. This sum is equal to the cost of just one hour and thirteen minutes of the war, yet, suddenly economy- minded Congressmen' would lop it off the budget.

CHECKING SYSTEM HOPED TO STOP THOSE

STUDENTS BREAKING LIBRARY RULES

By GENE SCRUDATO

Mr. Joseph Myers has announced that many patrons of the library are breaking rules. He stated that the two chief offenses are: students not checking books out at the desk, and the taking of reserve books out of the library.

As a preventative measure against these two items a checking system is to be put into operation in the near future, whereby' al students will be checked, upon leaving the building. This is the only alternative to insure against further loss of books.

The only minor offense is that hication you would like to see the many of the students are breaking library get, drop a note in the the "QUIET PLEASE" rule, par- suggestion box. ticularly in walking noisily around The library has two movies or- the various rooms.

Carleton's Hand Book Hopes For Rest

Northfield, Minn.-(I.P.)- "Leading students around by the nose is discouraged here, and how you car- ry the ball under your own power will count far more than the size of your ho'metown or your checking account."

This statement in the Carleton Men's and Women's League Hand- book for new students, "Informa- tion Pleas," is the keynote to the booklets handed 'to all freshmen and transfer students here this semester. The booklet, written and publ:ished by upper-class students, outlines the traditions, rules, student government, and general campus information about Carleton. It supplements the official "Hand- book for New Students" published by the administration, which is devoted to course descriptions, curriculum requirements, calendar, finances, etc.

"Information Please" is a guide to group living, social life on the campus, necessary regulations and important traditions. The new student will know that freshman men weni' green caps and do not use flagstone walks, that automobiles are out, that women's hours auto- matically regulate men's hours, that ties at mealtime are "comme il faut" and that "probation is a touchy subject."

LEADING THE BAND IN THE COLONEL CARAVAN TO BLOOMSBURG

MR. BOB MORAN

A BUF OF THIS 'N' THAT

ABOUT ALUMNI DANCE

By GENE SCRUDATO

The dance sponsored by the A- lumni Association, last Friday night, proved to be a very enjoy- able event. A sizeable crowd attended the affair which was held at our own gym.

Speaking of the gym, it is proper and fitting to hand out a few laurels. These laurels go to the decorating committee members for they really outdid themselves in the dragging of cornstalks, pump- kins and the traitional orange and black paper into the gym, to give it that hallowe'en effect. (This is the first dance in which decorations have been used!). Not only were they attractive but they also served a practical purpose, as en- closures, thereby limiting the dance floor space to a particular section.

Faculty members present were Bob Moran, Don Folimer and "Knute" Partridge.

Everyone seemed to have a good time, especially those who were fortunate enough to hear the stories told by Bob Moran.

General chairman for the entire affair was Don Honeywell, who can be proud of his own and his committe.e's efforts.

SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENT GIVES ACCOUNT

OF 19111 ANNUAL HERALDTRIBUNE FORUM

By TESTER V. VERCOE
