UniIed Fund Dance Kicks Off Dollar-A-Sluden! Drive for $1200 by Barbara Lore

The United Fund Dance, sponsored by the freshman class tonight in the gymnasium, will launch this year's student United Fund campaign on campus. Lou Mattioli is general chairman of the affair featuring Bobby Baird and his band, providing both regular dance music and a special jam session. Both Lou Coopey, head of the student drive, and Dr. Charles B. Reif, over-all chairman, express confidence that the student goal of approximately $1200, or one dollar per student, can be easily attained. Dr. Reif recalls that in the past student contributions have reached the $2,000 mark, therefore, he believes that with a spirited effort by the student body, this year's goal can

be easily surpassed.

"Roving Mike" Answers

Pertinent Campus Queries by Mary DiGiuseppe Theta Delta Rho and the Lettermen will again preside over the traditional "Roving Mike" assembly next Thursday. The purpose of the assembly is to provide an opportunity for students to ask questions concerning any activity at Wilkes which is not completely understood by them. These may be questions regarding activities, courses (new or pro-

posed), the expansion program (Stark Hall), an art center for the future, or perhaps the anticipated limit of students Wilkes will accept in the near future. Occasions sometimes arise when freshmen and even upperclassmen are confronted with a phase of college life which they don't completely understand, or they might not be aware of facilities available to them. Thus, this assembly creates a time for thorough discussion via questions and answers of any problems brought up. There will be an opportunity for students to hand in written questions. These should be on 3x5 cards or on a slip of paper. The questions will be collected by members of TDR and the Lettermen, and will be read over loudspeakers. Students may address their questions to any particular member of the panel on the platform, which will include Dr. Farley, Dean Ralston, Dean Doane, Mr. Whitby, and Mr. Reese. It is the hope of the panel that all questions may be answered within the hour.

To facilitate solicitations, the student body has been divided into three categories, namely: Division A, all commuting students; Division B, all dormitory students; Division C, campus organizations. Because of the large number of students included in Division A, the solicitations will be handled on the basis of two one-week periods. During the first week, beginning tonight and ending next Friday, all contributions will be on an informal basis. At the kickoff dance tonight, a table will be set up as a collecting area, where day students can deposit their dollars. For the rest of this week, collecting stations will be at the Commons. This general solicitation will end next Friday at the compulsory class meet-

ings. During the second week, Saturday, October 20 to Friday, October 27, the solicitations will be conducted differently. Chairmen, representing each class, have been appointed to contact, by phone, all those who do not contribute during the first week of solicitations. Jerome Krasa, senior class, Jeanette Bucholtz, junior class, Mimi Wilson, sophomore class, and Mike Mosteller, freshman class, in conjunction with committees of their choice, will conduct this personal solicitation. Peter Greenberg, president of the Inter-Dormitory Council, with the aid of the respective dorm presidents, is coordinating the contributions of the dormitory students. Each campus organization will receive a letter explaining what is desired of it from Jerry Shilanski, who is directing solicitations in this division. Shilanski will personally contact as many organization presidents as possible to prevent any misunderstanding of procedure. Contributions in this division will not be expected from individual members, but will be donated from the organization's treasury, according to its means. Mrs. Connolly, comptroller, will handle all such transfers of money through the Finance Office. Students can follow the progress of the drive by consulting the lucrometer constructed by the Art Club to record the progress of each class, dormitory, and organization toward the goal of $1200.

EDITORIALS

Will You Give? Once again, Wilkes students are being called upon to contribute to the only charity which solicits funds here on campus the United Fund. A goal of $1200 has been established, ci goal which can be met if each individual student contributes just one dollar. Considering the many agencies served by the United Fund and the small sum required of each of us to maintain these services, we as students should take advantage of this opportunity to aid our fellow man. We should also feel a deep pride in contributing through the college, for by so doing, we are also demonstrating to the community our willingness to help in this effort.

No doubt there are many students who, in addition to meeting with the campus solicitation, are also asked to contribute at their place of part-time employment. This is understandable, and in his instance, some reason exists for the individual's lack of participation in the campus drive. These individuals must not forget, however, their obligation to their college and some effort should be made here to divide the contribution between the college and the place of employment.

Once again, we urge you to share our blessings. Do your part to meet the campus United Fund goal.

Dear Sir: We appreciate very much the opportunity of serving your transportation needs to the game you played at Chester last Saturday. It is regretted, however, that we encountered some tire trouble en route, even though it was not attributable to our Maintenance Department. Our operator, Mr. Robert Cipriano, has only the highest praise for the gentlemanly conduct of your students during the entire trip, and he was particularly pleased with the willingness of the young men to assist him in every way in overcoming the difficulty, as well as with the general tolerant understanding of the entire group. Please accept our thanks for the consideration shown us. Hoping to be of further service, we remain, Sincerely yours, C. E. Patton, Vice-President and Asst. General Manager Wilkes-Barre Transit

STUDENT SKETCH

Corp.

Poor Showing

Upon scanning the college bulletin board this past week, we were alarmed at the notice declaring the results of the recent campus election. No doubt, those who were elected are worthy of the positions which they are about to fill, as are most of the candidates in such an election. The portion of the announcement which was most startling was that part which stated the total number of students who actually participated by casting a ballot. Statitstics show that a general feeling of indifference and lack of concern reigned over the student body. These statistics are as follows: sophomore class membersip, 304, those who voted, 102; junior class, 243 members, 101 voting; senior class, membership 212, participants in the election, 59. In terms of percentage, 33% of the sophomore class voted, 41% of the junior class turned out, and less than 30% of the senior class stopped at the polls. The evidence is clear that most students show little concern for the affairs of their class, and in many cases, attend only the compulsory class meetings with little regard for what happens between such meetings. It is time that we began to realize the importance of our obligation to our class and to our fellow students. We as members of a class should have a desire to know what our class is doing as a unit and to have a part in helping it to accomplish its objectives.

It is a safe bet to say that Mary Ann is one of the most well-rounded individuals on this or any college campus. Wit, charm, personalityplus, and good looks are but a few of her virtues. In addition to maintaining her academic standards at Wilkes, she sews, crochets, works in ceramics, leather craft, basket weaving, and has studied piano. As a senior psychology major, she does her own typing and has mastered some of the toughest courses at Wilkes. Although Mary Ann is proficient in the Braille system of reading, she pointed out that only a few of her text books were done in Braille because of the cost and time involved in preparing such copies. The lack of these books has been overcome by many of her fellow students and a group of women from the Jewish Community Center who read to her regularly. "I have made a lot of wonderful friends here at the college and in the community. Everyone is so nice and the kids are very helpful," she gratefully stated. Mary Ann hopefully suggested that all students take advantage of the books they have. "I like to read when I have the time. I have read the Bible for my religion course, and my French book in Braille," she added. "Many of the monthly magazines, such as the Reader's Digest, are published in Braille, and a wide selection of novels and other books are available in taped or recorded editions. "The largest books I have 'read' in this way are Gone With The Wind and Vanity Fair, both of which were more than 70 longplaying records in lenght. I like this method of 'reading' best. Maybe it's because I am lazy," she remarked. It is this reporter's opinion that anyone who can sit through 70 LP's is anything but lazy and deserves the literary award for devotion. In reply to the comment that she amazes many of us by the way she gets around the campus, Mary Ann remarked that she can distinguish light from dark and can recognize some colors. "It's difficult to find Stark sometimes, and I wish they could do away with that corner at South River and Northampton Streets. I say more prayers there," she wittily remarked. "Otherwise, it is very easy to get around the campus. Of course, my classmates are most helpful." Noticing the diamond ring on Mary Ann's left hand, I recalled that she and Tom Walsh, a 1960 Wilkes graduate, became engaged last spring. When I told her that I thought everyone was as happy as she the night they announced their engagement, she smilingly shot back that she doubted that they could be. She told me that Torn is working as a social worker in the state hospital at Holidaysburg, Pa. "I miss 'Lucky' (Tom's seeing-eye boxer dog) almost as much as Tom," she jokingly said. Mary Ann and Torn plan to be married some time next year. Mary Ann, now a resident of Weckesser Hall, is formerly from Philadelphia where she attended the Overbrook School for the Blind, leaving behind her an outstanding record of achievement upon her graduation in 1958. She was named Honor Junior and in her senior year received the Daughters of the American Revolution Citizenship Award, two of the highest attainable awards at the school. In addition, she was a member of the Student Council, the school newspaper staff, participated in dramatics, and the student exchange program. (continued on page 6)

Nurses Take Science Courses To Supplement Hospital Training by Joe Klaips

Wilkes College, this year as in the past, is host to student nurses from the local hospitals. These young ladies, 107 in all, represent the Nesbitt, the Wilkes-Bane General, and the Wyoming Valley hospitals. Their program has been planned for them by the student nursing directors at the hospitals, who are working in cooperation with the administration here. Because nursing is a three-year

program, these student nurses, unlike students enrolled in a four-year program, will enter their junior year. In their junior year less time will be spent here on campus and more will be devoted to work and instruction in the hospitals. In their senior year, nurses select their major field of sudy, which may be anesthesia, operating room work or one of many other specialties. After completing this year, if they "make the grade," they are awarded a certificate in nursing. Their certificate is a symbol of their three years of hard work, but the story does not end here. Their training completed, the nurses take a State Board of Nurses examination to become licensed as registered professional nurses. After passing this examination many nurses will further their education by attending regular college classes for two years to get their Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. As freshmen, the Wilkes student nurses are beginning the process of discovering for themselves the rewarding careers to be found in the fields of nursing.

When I told Dr. Mui that I had When I asked Dr. Mui to be a little more specific about his sub- first thought that this project was ject he explained that he and his of a sociological nature, he exwire questioned the importance of plained that he and Mrs. Mui are the tea monopoly of the East India attempting to combine sociological

Company: how did the monopoly effect India, which was under British control?: who drank the tea? In answer to these questions Dr. Mui said that the profit of the con-pany did contribute to the establishnient of th British Empire and the expansion of the company in India. His answer to the second question was surprising in that he stated only the richest and the poorest were the greatest tea drinkers in the late 19th and beginning of the 20th century. The rich considered drinking tea fashionable and the poor couldn't afford any other beverages. Later the gap between the two groups began to close. Tea was also considered a relaxing beverage in that people took time from work to brew and drink it.

theories with economic history. The regulation of the tea trade was an integral part of the administration of William Pitt and this problem entailed all types of social customs and ramifications. In answer to my question concerning the grant itself, Dr. Mui explained that the grant allows both he and Mrs. Mui to make one trip a year to study pertinent manuscripts in the Huntingdon Library at San Marino, California and the Harvard Library at Cambridge, Mass. This grant enabled him and Mrs. Mui to complete their work. Now that their research has been completed, the Mui's plan to test their conclusions and analyze their material. Later, they hope to publish the results of this extensive project.

nationwide information campaign, conducted by the Peace Corps, to explain the principles of the program and the opportunities available for work throughout the world. Initially, those interested must complete a Peace Corps Questionnaire, obtainable from Mr. Morris. Although it may be possible to take the Peace Corps test without submission of an application, such submission ensures a place when the test is administered. November 28 and 29 are set as the next test dates, at which time they will be given in Wilkes-Barre at the Post Office. The test, itself, takes approximately 5½ hours, starting at 8:30 a.m. The alternate dates are to enable students to take the test at the more convenient time. The November test date is especially recommended for seniors who are interested in joining the Peace Corps immediately upon graduation. Notification of acceptance or rejection of those tested in November will be given by the middle of next March for the program starting next June 15. This will allow enough time for students to make arrangements with any graduate schools they may plan on attending. Details of the test can be obtained next Tuesday. Practically, besides providing an excellent opportunity for work in an overseas country, the Peace Corps offers many advantages. Training received is almost impossible to acquire elsewhere. The two-year tour, including the several months training program, provides opportunities for character development and expansion not available in many other ways. Although the Corpsman will not be living on the highest level, he will not be living on the lowest level of living in the country. This depends entirely on the position held. For example, a teacher in Tanganyika would live on the level of a native teacher, which in that country is quite high. Although no salary is given, several methods of remuneration are possible. Primarily, $75 a month is applied to the Corpsman's account in the United States to be used as he wishes. This money, however, may not be used in the country the Corpsman is working

nish the opposition for the first field hockey team in the history of Wilkes athletics.

The team works out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the new Wilkes Athletic Field next to Kirby Park at 4 p.m. The team is made up of eleven players and Coach Saracino has not a set lineup thus far. Any girl interested in playing on the team should report to the Kirby Park field on practice days. No experience is necessary to play but a firm interest and will to play are the main ingredients for a candidate for the squad.

Although the team is not a member of a league this season, Mrs. Saracino has several games scheduled for this year with a league membership set for next season.

The football team travels to Collegeville tomorrow to take on the Bears of Ursinus College in an effort to pick up their first win of the season. The Colonels will be trying to rid itself of the seemingly inability to capitalize on scoring op. portunities and to get itself into the win column. Last year the Bears ruined the Wilkes Homecoming with a 14-7 victory. Coach Richard Whatley will have a veteran squad to field against the Blue and Gold. Nineteen lettermen wear the red, gold and black uniform this season and have been responding to their schedule like world-beaters. Last week a last minute touchdown gave a strong Johns Hopkins team a 13-7 win over the Bears. The gridders lost their sceond game of the season on Saturday as they bowed to PMC, 7-0. Almost 3,000 people saw a fighting Wilkes squad move the ball well during the entire game but fail to cross the line into scoring land. It was a little bit of luck that put the Cadets on the score card as Crate was hit on the four-yard line by a vicious tackle and fumbled. Cadet fullback Nick Trainer pounced on the ball in the end zone and the game was won. In the second quarter the Colonels threatened when a Gubanich to MacLaughlin pass put the ball on the PMC 15. But the Cadets dug in and a field goal attempt by Larry Turel was wide. The third quarter saw Wilkes' ground attack start rolling. With Tom Krisulevicz, Dick Capitan, and John Gardner pulling large chunks of yardage with driving runs, the drive settled on the Cadet 10. A Gubanich pass was intercepted to halt this drive. In the final period Bill Schwab led the Colonels in their final threat. With Hardy and Krisulevicz eating up yardage the threat reached the eleven. An

LETTERMEN'S RAFFLE TICKETS GONG FAST The Lettermen's Club raffle campaign is just two weeks old and the response has justified the efforts of obtaining the prizes. The chances are relatively inexpensive when you think of the prizes that can be yours. Another and more complete rundown on the prizes: first prize is a pair of tickets for the world's most famous gridiron classic, the ArmyNavy game. Transportation is included with the first prize to make the prize even more popular. The second prize winner receives two tickets for the Broadway smash musical Sound of Music. The show is sold out until after Christmas and the Lettermen were lucky to obtain the musical tickets. Third, fourth and fifth prizes are ten pound turkeys. The drawing will be held in conjunction with the halftime exercises at the Wilkes Homecoming game with Lycoming College on October 21. This raffle is an annual event at Wilkes; it is one of the few opportunities the Lettermen's Club has of raising the money necessary to support and continue their scholarship program.

Late Congratulations To Coach Mike Dydo The Sports Staff of the Beacon wishes to offer belated congratulations to Coach Dydo on his August marriage to the former Susan Botford. Mr. Arthur Hoover and Marvin Antinnes helped in the trip up the middle aisle.

The games were incomplete at the time of' this writing, with the Goremen and Hollenback meeting on Wednesday and the Boozers opposing the Bandits on Thursday. In the season's opener the Shawneeites continued where they left off for the past three seasons and routed the Tribunals, 39-7.

Mary Homan, Recent Graduate, Does Homework for California Project Giving the lie to the critics who say that American young people are interested only in pleasure is a group of girls who are spending their summer social evenings to aid in the cancer battle. An attractive group of 18 office workers, the girls have pledged themselves to a special 'date'. The date is a staggering 1000-man-hour project that will help determine local patient services for the next 10 to 15 years. Recently, Miss Mary Roman, 23, a Wilkes graduate now living at 4276 Creed Avenue, Los Angeles, California, told officials of the Southern California Cancer Center that she wanted to do volunteer work. When asked whether she wanted a big job or a little one, she and said she wanted a big job she got it. Now, Mary and co-workers from California Federal Savings and Loan Association and friends, whom she inspired to help, are engaged in a project that will aid long-range planning for the Cancer Center, patients may receive full cancer treatment, including super-voltage radiation therapy, regardless of ability to pay. To estimate their future case load, Center officials decided the best way was to see where former patients had come from, then compare those figures with the estimated population increase in the various areas. But, since the Center is the only agency in the Southwestern United States that has 2-million volt equipment which is used for deep penetration, patients come not only from Southern California but also from a half-dozen other states. The vital information concerning the geographical distribution of patients is contained in some 22,000 case records. That's what the girls are going after, sifting the records one at a time. The girls have already worked a total of 400 hours, all during the evenings after work and on Saturdays. Asked if she is missing out on fun or romance by giving up all this free time, Mary said, "The girls are all young and if we're lucky we have lots of time ahead of us. We want to help people who, in the future, may not have much time if treatment isn't available."

Skits, Parade Terminate Frosh Hazing Program Frosh dormitory hazing was brought to a close recently with the annual activities of "Skit Night" and "Hell Night". Both proved to be grand adventures in the life of a dormitory freshman. The skits were held in an informal manner in the gym and seemed to have pleased the numerour upperclassmen present. "Hell Night" activities included a parade through town by the frosh in costume with the final step of singing the alma mater in front of Dr. Farley's home. Chapman Hall o p en e d "Skit Night" with a pantomime on a day in the life of a Wilkes coed. Amidst a round of laughter, the girls did a typical waking-up scene. Next, Gore Hall did a takeoff on "Life in a Bomb Shelter". The boys seemed to be plagued with "fallout" problems in a sketch lightly sprinkled with sarcasm and wit. McClintock did a satire on the attributes of wholesome cafeteria. Sterling Hall shined with a really humorous and well-executed mockery of the freshman tribunals. Weiss Hall's theme was beatnik with Howarth doing a skit on dormitory characters. This particular presentation seemed bent on pelting campus personalities with rotten tomatoes. Bennett Hall concentrated on a lofty U.N. caricature. The audience is still wondering what a "whitby" is. Finally Hollenback Hall did a portrait of "Snow White and the Six Dwarfs". The Hollenback version of lovely Snow White, attired in soft pink, was a thing to behold. First place winners were Sterling Second and Hollenback Halls. place winners Howarth and Gore Halls. The evening was successful and enjoyable. Much praise goes out to all the dorms and to the InterDormitory Council.

(continued from page 2) MARY ANN DREHER Here at the college, she has been a member of the Psych-Soc Club and has served as vice-president of her dormitory. She explained that her activities at Wilkes were limited because of her scholastic schedule, but she does manage to find time to belong to the local chapter of the American Federation for the Blind. Last year, she was able to participate in the Blind Bowlers League. She wouldn't disclose her average, but I assume it was nothing to be ashamed of. Although she has worked as a telephone switchboard operator, most of Mary Ann's summers have been spent taking summer courses. She hopes someday to go on to graduate school in the field of child psychology. She made it clear that these plans were only tentative, since marriage, with the cooking and cleaning that she enjoys, were the foremost thoughts in her mind. As our talk was coming to an end, I found that my pangs of uneasiness in doing this assignment had been completely vanquished by her charm. I felt that I could now speak to her concerning her handicap. I asked Mary Ann to relate some of her personal feelings and if she would give us her philosophy of life. Without hesitation, she replied that, "It has been trying at times and even a nuisance. I'd love to have a car," she went on, "but we have to make the best of things and try to forget. It helps to keep busy and have many interests." Mary Ann emphasized that no handicapped person desires or likes pity. "There is a difference between pity and sympathy," she stressed. "People who feel sorry for us really disturb me sometimes. They don't realize that those of us who are handicapped can adjust to our lives and need not be pitied or sheltered from life." Humbly, but with well-deserved self-pride, she exclaimed, "I am just me." Mary Ann is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Dreher of Bucks County, Pa.
