Manuscript Set For Ea ny Distribution Two Short Stories , "New Look" Featured In '56 Literary Mag.

The Spring, 1956 edition of the Manuscript, the College literary magazine, will be ready for distri- bution on campus the early part of next week, it was announced today by the Manuscript Associa- tion.

Copies will be placed in the li- brary and all other buildings on campus.

Featured in this year's edition are short stories by Jeannette Per- rins and Tom Kaska, both of whom make their debuts as Manuscript nuthors. "The Letter", by Jean- nette Perrins, treats an anxious day in the life of a coed. "The Wall", by Tom Kaska, captures the tragedy and pathos of local mine shutdowns through the eyes of a Slavic miner.

Also featured are articles by Shirley Ray, Katherine Kescanko, John Caning, Frank Lutinski, and Barbara Boock.

Illustrations by Pat Reese and Della King, and tailpieces by Kay Noonan add vigor and freshness to the magazine as a whole.

Several innovations in design have been made to give the Manu- script a new look. The cover has been redesigned, and the quality of paper changed.

Because too few articles had been submitted to warrant a legiti- mate contest, the $25 savings bond will not be awarded, as was ori- ginally planned. None of the arti- cles appearing in the magazine was submitted to competition by the author.

TDR ELECTION RESULTS New officers were elected by

Theta Delta Rho on Wednesday. The results were announced by Bernice Thomas, incumbent Pres- ident of the sorority.

President: Patsy Reese. Vice President: Peggy Stevens. Treasurer: Naoma Kaufer. Secretary: Pat Bedeski.

TDR to Entertain Mothers at Tea on McClin!ock Lawn by Norma Jean Davis

Mothers of Theta Delta Rho members are in store for a special treat this afternoon from 3 to 5 o'clock when they will be entertain- ed at the Mothers' Day Tea in Mc- Clintock Garden.

The Tea, which is an annual af- fair, is designed to give "Mom" a chance to relax and enjoy herself, to meet her daughter's friends, and to see the College Campus.

General chairman of the affair Connie Kamarunas announced that invitations have been sent to the mothers of all the girls. It is hoped that every member of the sorority will take this opportunity to 'treat' their 'Mom' and show her just how much she's appreciated.

The following have been named committee chairmen: Hostess, Jane Obitz, city; Entertainment, Miriam Thomson, Hershey; Clean-up, Jes- sie Roderick, city; Decoration, Car- olyn Goeringer, Dallas; House, Gail Lames, city; Invitations, Helen Y o Ufl g, Berwick; Refreshments, Nancy Batchelor, city; Publicity, Audrey Radler, West Wyoming.

Mrs. Bastress Heads Faculty Coffee Hour

Wilkes faculty women will hold an All College Coffee Hour Wed- nesday from 3 to 5 o'clock in the College cafeteria. Chairman of the affair is Mrs. Alfred Bastress.

Assisting Mrs. Bastress will be Mesdames John Chwalek, Francis Salley, Hoh-Cheung Mui, Sheldon Curtis, Harold Thatcher, Charles Worstall, Gladys Davis, John Ca- bore, and Arthur Kruger.

Pouring for the Coffee Hour will be: Mesdames Eugene Farley, Hugo Mailey, Robert Werner, and Miss Margaret O'Brien.

LETTERMEN OFFER 2-BIT SHOE SHINE

GI BOOTS RULED OUT Tickets are now on sale for the

annual Lettermen's Shoe Shine Days which will be held next Thurs- day and Friday on campus. The Lettermen are issuing tickets be- forehand so students can avoid the sudden rush in the latter part of next week, it was announced by General Chairman Al Manarski.

The Lettermen are offering the brightest and most lasting shine to Wilkes students for only twenty- five cents. In fact, they will shine anything but G.I. boots.

Three groups of bootblacks will be on campus to accomodate the demands of all shoe-conscious stu- dents. One group will be perma- nently located in the cafeteria and two others will move about campus.

Rags, brushes, and other shoe- shine necessities will be donated to the club by the members.

Cheerleaders Add 4;

New Squad Totals 7 Four Wilkes College coeds have

been added to the cheerleading squad as a result of elections held after last Tuesday's assembly. The new cheerleaders are: Gail Schaff- hauser, junior, Shavertown; Alison Rubury, sophomore, Forty Fort; Marcia Elston, freshman, Lehman; and Grace Major, freshman, Leh- man.

These new cheerleaders were ad- mitted to the squad by a committee which consisted of this year's cheerleaders, together with Mr. Robert Moran, cheerleading advis- er, and Mrs. Gertrude Doane, Dean of Women.

Schaffhauser, Rubury, Elston and Major will combine with returnees Phyllis Walsh, junior, city; Ann Kennedy, junior, city; and Judy Menegus, sophomore, Clifton, N.J., to bring next year's cheering squad to a total of seven girls.

Bio Society Elects Weiner '56-'57 Prexy

Last week, the members of the Biological Society of Wilkes Col- lege elected those people who will occupy the administrative positions for the forthcoming year, 1956-7. The new officers include: Leslie P. Weiner, president; Vincent Dra- piewski, vice president; G 1 o r i a Dran, secretary; John Saba, trea- surer; and Marvin Kurlancheek, program chairman. The election proved to be a very close one with many of the candidates winning by extremely small margins.

The newly elected officers are in charge of the club's outing which will take place this Sunday at Wolfe's Grove. The outing is an annual affair of the club and serves to give the incoming administrators a chance to exercise their powers and an opportunity to acquire ex- perience in club affairs from the administrative level.

The program for next year's club is an extensive one and aims to duplicate, if not surpass, this year's very highly successful one.

Vol. XI, No. 24 WILKES COLLEGE, WILKES-BARRE, PENNSYLVANIA FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1956 I S

Second Wilkes Blood Day Today Reese Hopes Quota is Topped Again; Three-Fold Insurance Plan Will Hold

. I

Wilkes students will again have the opportunity to donate a pint of blood in the second half of the semi-annual blood drive held by the Red Cross today at the blood center on South Frank- lin Street from eleven to five o'clock.

John Reese, Student Activities Director, is in charge of the drive. He has announced that since 1953 more than one thousand Wilkes students have donated at least one of their eleven pints of blood to this worthy cause. Reese express- ed hope that the donations for the college this semester will be much greater than the 97 pints given last December.

Donors must be at least 18 to contribute; those under 21 must have the written consent of their parents.

Mr. Robert W. McDonouth, di- rector of the blood insurance pro- gram at the center and a Wilkes graduate, stated that the same in- surance program used last year will be employed this year. This three-fold plan states that the Red Cross will furnish blood to the do- nor, his immediate family or any member of the group (in this case all Wilkes students) when the need arises. To be eligible for these benefits of blood insurance, Wilkes must meet their quota.

Donors who give 8 pints of blood are eligible for the "Gallon Club". For the benefit of the community, Wilkes and yourself, drop over to the Red Cross Center between 11 and 5 o'clock today and give.

W. Virginia Students Arrive Today In 2nd Part of Exchange Program; Rosenbergs to Entertain at Social

Representatives of the student body at Hampton Institute will come to Wilkes today as part of the exchange student pro- gram. This exchange plan originated at the request of the West Virginia school early in the year. In correspondence with Mr. George Elliot, Wilkes' Acting Dean of Men, Hampton Institute officials expressed a desire to have members of their student hDdy visit Wilkes, and invited Wilkes to send visiting students in return.

The DEAN'S CORNER By George F. Elliot, Acting Dean of Men

The Educated Man Every once in a while I worry

whether you and I don't make the consistent mistake of becoming con-

fused about ends and means. We build the finest buildings to house our educational plants, and we staff them with the best trained teach- ers available. Each year publish- ers spend thousands of dollars try- ing to improve the text-books stu- dents will use. And each Septem- ber Young America ventures forth in search of that elusive generality we call, "education".

At this stage of the school year, I often wonder how many of us have any con- cept of what it's all about or of what edu- cation really means. How many of us de- lude ourselves into the false compla c e n c y that a mere piece of paper called a diploma has significant value? How many of us have confused education with a series of tests passed, with an im- pressive array of grades, or with an accumulation of facts and fi- gures temporarily remembered? How many of us have forgotten that one of our primary functions

The Spring Attempt As Milton Caniff's Air Force characters above remind our

readers, the time has come for the annual spring co-operation with the local Red Cross blood bank. We suppose that many of our readers will be urged to go over to South Franklin Street to get in credit for a pint for some particular club or organization.

This may or may not be an effective manner in which to increase the amount of blood, but the ethical tone - to such method seems a bit shady. Such efforts represent an attempt to institutionalize what is, in the last analysis, a rather personal decision. Whether there is any credit given to any particular group should be immaterial in questions like this.

Welcome, Traveler This weekend there are visitors on campus. Hampton In-

stitute, a West Virginia college, is sending five delegates up to Wilkes as part of a student exchange program beginning this year. It has been hoped that the program might develop into an annual affair, perhaps at some future time incorporating reciprocal study plans.

For the present, however, the Hampton students are guests of the College, and thereby, of its students. Hampton chances to be an all-dormitory institution, so that when the Wilkes dele- gates visited the campus several weeks ago they had ample opportunity to visit with the Hampton people. It so happens that Wilkes is largely a commuter school, so that it behooves students to go a little out of their way over the weekend to assure these visitors of a reasonable view of what the college here is like.

Elliot

in life is to live - with ourselves and with others like us?

The other day I came across Socrates' concept of education. I give it to you for your thought and for your earnest consideration.

* * * * *

"Whom, then, do I call educated? First, those who manage well the circumstances which they encoun- ter day by day, and who possess a judgement which is accurate in meeting occasions as they arise; Next, those who are decent and honorable in their intercourse with all men, bearing easily and good naturedly what is unpleasant or offensive in others, and being them- selves as agreeable and reasonable to their associates as it is human- ly possible to be; Furthermore, those who hold their pleasures al- ways under control, and are not unduly overcome by their misfor- tunes, bearing up under them bravely and in a manner worthy of our common nature; Finally, and most important of all, those who are not spoiled by their successes, and who do not desert their true selves, but hold their ground stead- fastly as wise and sober-minded men, rejoicing no more in the good things which have come to them through chance than in those which through their nature and intelli- gence are theirs since birth. Those who have a character which is in accord, not with one of these things, but with all of them, these I maintain are educated and whole men possessed of all the virtues of a man."

Columbia Offers Hints on Hazing For Wilkes Study

The Student Council held its reg- ular bi-monthly meeting Wednes- day evening in the cafeteria. New- ly elected representatives as well as incumbent members attended.

President R o b e r t Lynch an- nounced that he had received a let- ter from Columbia University con- taining some suggestions for an effective hazing program. The let- ter was referred to the freshman class which has charge of hazing next year.

Final plans for the Hampton In- stitute weekend were made, and an itinerary planned by Sam Lowe, Larry Amdur, Chet Miller and Mr. Elliot was presented to the Council. On Saturday afternoon all CouncilS members are invited to an outing with the men from Hampton, at Dr. Farley's farm.

Other business dealt mainly with committee reports for the Cinder- ella Ball. Tickets will be on sale this week. Admission is $2.00 per couple and a no corsage rule will apply as in the past.

L a r r y Groninger, decorations chairman for the Ball, asked for four subsidiary chairmen to work with him and handle specific areas of the decorating job. President Lynch appointed Larry Amdur, Sam Lowe, Dick Carpenter and Chet Miller.

The reorganization meeting of the Council will be held on Wednes- day, May 16. At this meeting off i- cers for 1956-7 will be elected.

Space Travel, Rockets Discussed in Assembly by Cliff Brothers

Dr. Charles J. Worstall, Wilkes C o 11 e g e professor of physics, spoke at last Tuesday's assembly program on the problems of space travel and the flying saucer issue. Intermingled with semi-technical language, the use of toy balloon, and with the help of a large card- board rocket, the doctor caused the problems of space travel, and the flying saucer controversy to be- come more vivid in the minds of everyone.

With the toy balloon, the profes- sor effectively demonstrated the principle of rocket locomotion. He emphasized the likelihood of celes- tial travel in the not too distant future. The chief problem now is discovery and utilization of the proper fuel, he pointed out.

The implications of the lecture, however, indicated that in many persons' opinions there has already been discovered not only the proper fuel, but that it has been put to use - in flying saucers.

Although many are inclined to scoff at the idea that there are such things as flying saucers, they should be cautioned to regard the massive authenticated data corn- led, testifying to their existence.

JUNIOR CLASS PLANS HAYR!DE TOMORROW AT EL POCONO RANCH By Mary Louise Onufer

The Junior Class is busily mak- ing preparations for its final big event of the year. The event is a hayride which will take place on May 5 at the El Pocono Dude Ranch, the place which will be well- remembered as the scene of the Winter Carnival.

The affair is restricted to junior class members and their guests. Admission for juniors is 75 cents, guests $1.50.

Larry Arndur, Junior Class presi- dent, appointed Jerry Stein chair- man of the affair. He is assisted by Gloria Dran, Phyllis Walsh, Bill Farish, Neil Dadurka, Publicity; Marilyn Williams, Barbara Tanski, Bill Rinkin, Entertainment; John Coates, Audrey Cragle, Natalie Ba- rone, Larry Cohen, Frank Cucila, Refreshments; Jesse Choper, Sey- mour Holtzman, Bill Jacobson, Don Straub, Transportation.

Soph Banquet Tomorrow Honors Terminal Students

Invitations have been issued to members of the sophomore class and guests for the banquet which will be held tomorrow evening in the college cafeteria. The affair will be held to honor the terminal students who started out with the Class of 1958.

The terminal students who will be graduated in June began cam- pus life with the present sophomore class as a single unit of freshmen, sharing the hazing pranks of up- per-classmen. Many of them have been active in class affairs, holding offices in the class and being mem- bers of the class council.

After a buffet-style dinner in the college cafeteria, a dance will be held in the college gymnasium for the sophomores and their guests. A band has been obtained to pro- vide music for the affair.

Flowers will be given to all of the ladies present at the dinner, it was announced by General Chair- man Leonard Mulcahy. Mulcahy also announced that a program has been arranged, with Sam Lowe be- ing the master of ceremonies.

Committee chairmen working for the banquet areff Ted Jones, enter- tainment; John Morenko, refresh- ments; Janice Schuster, publicity; Carol Goeringer, decorations; Mar - go Malko, invitations; Sam Puma, clean-up; Cliff Brothers, flowers; Dave Vann, receiving line.

The sophomores expect to have six exchange students from Hamp- ton Institute of West Virginia as special guests.

CORRECTION - In last week's Beacon it was erroneously report- ed that the Colonels' Queen at the recent April Showers Ball was pre- sented with a watch donated by Meyer's Jewelers. The correct do- nor was Morris Jewelers.

In Chemical Research; Studies for Doctorate

Sheldon H. Isaac, senior chemis- try major at Wilkes, has received an appointment to the staff of the University of Pennsylvania where he will work under a Research As- sistantship as he continues his studies for an advanced degree.

Isaac was informed of his ac- ceptance into the University gradu- ate school last week. This news was followed by a letter from Dr. E. Charles Evers, research chemist, that he had been appointed as as- sistant in Dr. Evers' research proj- ects. The position will allow Isaac to work on to his ultimate goal, doctorate in Chemistry, while he investigates inorganic materials by physico-chernical methods. He will begin his work and studies this July.

Commenting on the appointment Isaac stated, "I certainly am thank- ful for getting an opportunity to do research work while I study for further degrees. I realize I have not applied myself as I should have but my four years at Wilkes have not been easy. I am determined to apply myself more and leave a favorable impression of Wilkes with the people at U. of P. Wilkes has given me many pleasant memo- ries and dear friends."

Now in his last semester at Wilkes, Isaac has been active in the college Chemistry Club, the Beacon, and intramural sports. lie was a member of the dean's list for the third time last semester.

Isaac is the son of Rabbi and Mrs. David Isaac, Luzerne. He graduated from Luaerne High School with honors in 1952.

Press Club Tours Phila. Inquirer Plant by Janice Schuster

Eight members of the College Press Club and club advisor John D. Curtis visited the publishing plant of the Philadelphia Inquirer yes- terday morning. The club mem- bers also were guided through the television studios of S t a t 1 o n WCAU-TV in the afternoon.

The purpose of the trip was to acquaint the club members with the operation of a big city news- paper. An issue of the paper was being published and the students were able to see both the news- writing and mechanical aspects of producing the paper.

The trip was made by car. The students left the campus at 6:30 a.m. and returned late last evening. During the day a tour was made to the interesting points in the city.

Members of the club who went on the trip are Carol Breznay, Thomas Myers, Thomas ice, Janice Schuster, Audrey Radler, Cliff Kobland, Mary Louise Onufer, and Richard Davis.

Golfers to Compete In MAC Tourney P 1 a y Tomorrow

The newly formed Wilkes College golf team will compete in the Mid- dle Atlantic States Collegiate Ath- letic Conference golf championships tomorrow at the American Legion Country Club near Mount Union, Pa.

The Colonels linksmen will com- pete against 12 other MAC squads in the one-day, 36-hole medalist play.

Lehigh University will defend its title, won last year, against the wide-open field which includes sev- eral past champions.

Juniata College, a three-time winner, and Haverford, last year's runner-up, both are expected to make strong bids to capture the championship from Lehigh.

Other contenders for team and individual championships will in- clude Hofstra, Bucknell, and Frank- lin and Marshall.

Coach Jack Curtis was undecided about the makeup of his four-man squad for the tournament, but it appeared that Felix Serafin, Jr., Bernie Danchek, Dave Polley and Bill Liewellyn might make the trip. Neil Dadurka was the other possi- bility.

While the Colonels do not appear strong enough to capture any titles in this, their first time Curtis was confident that the experience would be invaluable to his underclass team.

Leslie Norbury, a junior at Le- high, will defend his medalist title, won last year with a 75-78-153 over the tough Lehigh course.

Dutchmen and Colonels To Play in Bologna Bowl

A Wilkes College football team will appear in a bowl game for the first time this fall, according to a schedule released by Lebanon Val- ley College.

The Colonel gridders will meet the Flying Dutchmen at Lebanon on September 29 in the traditional Bologna Bowl game, which is spon- sored by the ebanon Kiwanis Club every year.

The tilt will be the opening game for Lebanon Valley, but the Colo- nels open with Hofstra the week before.

The Colonel baseball team will swing back into action tomorrow afternoon at E ci s t Stroudsburg after being idled all week due to a light sche- dule and rain.

The only other game scheduled this week, with Scranton, was post- poned Wednesday due to rain. The game has been rescheduled as a night tilt at Schautz Field, Scran- ton, on the night of May 14.

John Reese will probably send John Miliman to the hill tomorrow against East Stroudsburg for the big righthander's seventh start of the year. After throwing a shutout at Cortland last Saturday, Milliman now has a 3-3 record.

With Milliman on the hill, Reese will be able to use Mel McNew in the outfield. McNew has been hit- ting well when used in the garden.

The Colonels now have a 4-5 rec- ord and appear to be over the hump in the schedule. Tomorrow's tilt with Stroudsburg will be a return engagement and the Blue and Gold clouters will be out to avenge an early season loss to the Mountain- eers. Milliman lost that one as his mates couldn't get him any runs.

The Colonels will return home Tuesday to meet a strong Lebanon Valley team at Artillery Park. De- pending on the outcome of tomor- row's tilt, Mel McNew will pitch against the Dutchmen. McNew and Milliman have been virtually an iron-man combination to date.

The club will take a trip down to Selinsgrove Thursday to play Sus- quehanna, and then return home next Saturday for the traditional game against the Alumni.

McNEW WINS "ATHLETE" AWARD

FOR SEASON'S PITCHING, HITTING Mel McNew has been selected as

athlete of the week on the basis of his pitching and hitting perform- ances with this year's baseball Colonels. He has been hitting con- sistently, playing right field when not pitching. Mel's pitching has been good all season, although he has suffered two losses without get- ting into the win column.

He lost one game to Albright and was tagged with his second loss by a powerful Ithaca squad, 10-0, last Friday, after pitching three innings of good ball against Cortland the day before. He was taken out of that game after three innings in order to be able to pitch the next day, with Birnbaum getting the win in relief.

One of the better hitters on the club, he thumped two singles in three official trips to the plate last Saturday, helping to spark the Colonel swatters in their victory over Stroudsburg.

In the earned run department, Mel shows up to good advantage Mel McNew

with a 2.96. This puts him hot on the trail of John Milliman, who has been leading the earned run aver- age parade so far this season.

I-us thirteen strikeouts in a los- ing cause against Ithaca impressed major league scouts in attendance. They said that he could be an effec- tive big league pitcher if he de- velops an overhand curve ball t go with his sidearm fast ball.

The Ashley hail resident, who hails from Baltimore, has recently completed student teaching at Coughlin High School under Bernie Cobb, former major league star. Mel will graduate next February.
