DEBATERS VICTORIOUS AGAIN IN DISTRICT VII TOURNAMENT

John Bucholtz and Jesse Choper have continued their victorious de- bate surge by taking nine out of twelve ballots at the Regional De- bate Tournament this past week- end.

The competition was held at St. Joseph's College in Philadelphia, where thirty-two teams from six states and Washington, D.C., vied for the five places allotted to Dis- trict VII.

The other four teams who quali- fied along with Wilkes were Prince- ton, Pittsburgh, St. Peter's, and Pennsylvania, with only Princeton having a higher winning total than Wilkes. The New Jersey team took ten out of twelve ballots.

In qualifying this year, Wilkes had to come from far behind after a nearly disastrous three rounds of debating on Friday. With chance pairings prevailing for the first two rounds, Wilkes, on the affirmative, drew the surprisingly strong Pitt to whom they dropped two rounds.

In the second round, Wilkes, on the negative, took two ballots from King's. From this point on, teams with equal records were matched against one another to prevent weak teams from getting through on easy competition.

In the third round, Wilkes split two ballots with College Miseri- cordia. Their record for the day was three-and-three v h i c h put them far b e h i n d fifteen other teams. However, th Bucholtz and Choper duo showed their talents on Saturday when they took six con- secutive ballots f r o m Rutgers, Georgetown, and Navy to finish close behind Princeton in one of

PROHIBIT PARKING ON WED. MORNINGS

Starting Wednesday, April 3, all parking on Ross, South Franklin, and South Streets will be prohi- bited between the hours of 8 and 12 on Wednesdays; it was announced by Capt. Rigoni of the city police traffic bureau.

The reason for the inconvenience to the students is so that the street cleaning machines can operate in these areas at that time.

All cars that are improperly parked in these areas will be tow- ed away, as they will interfere with the work of the street cleaning department.

the most dramatic and courageous finishes ever staged by a Wilkes team. Many of the front-runners, meanwhile, faltered in the latter rounds to wind up well behind Wilkes.

This marks the third year out of the last four that Wilkes will compete at West Point against teams from all over the nation. In their last effort Wilkes lost the national championship to Alabama in one of the closest final rounds on record.

Before going to West Point on April 24, the four-man team will take part in the State champion- ships to be held at King's College in two weeks. The Debating Asso- ciation of Pennsylvania Colleges will sponsor this annual contest. Dr. Arthur N. Kruger is currently president of the association.

C.CU.N. REPORTS PROGRESS IN ASIAN BOOK CAMPAIGN by M. L. Onufer

The aid of m a ny community leaders and groups has been responsible for many contributions. Several groups from the Hazieton as well as the Wilkes-Barre area have given much effort and time to the d r i v e. Attorney Boyle of Hazleton besides donating many books himself contacted many others for aid. One of these was former District Attorney Feldman.

The Women's Organization Club of Hazleton and the Wyoming Val- ley Council of Churches collected many books for the COUN's first community project.

The s t u d e n t s and faculty of Kingston High School were also very responsive. The CCUN would like to thank Mr. Burton Hankey, principal, and Mr. James Jones, assistant principal, for their cooperation. Mr. Boyer, athletic director at Kingston, gave quite a few books to the drive.

The response on campus, however, has not been too overwhelm- ing. Several faculty m e m b e r s have given large numbers of un- wanted books. Among these were Mr. George Elliot who donated fifty books. The library and bookstore have also aided this drive considerably.

Students are asked to make an

Two TV Stations To Cover Ball Marchetti Plays

. I

by Marion J. Klawonn The gym will take on a "Capitol"

atmosphere tonight as the Sopho- more Class presents its first Presi- dential Ball. Cherry blossoms and the Washington Monument will decorate the back-drop, and pink and white decorations will grace the walls and ceiling of the gym.

Last week, in the Beacon, the ten top nominees were listed. From this list will come the name of the guest of honor, Mr. President.

Final voting will take place as couples enter the gym for the dance. Each ticket will have space for two votes - in case a couple disagrees as to whom each wants to vote for, separate votes can be cast.

Gene Marehetti and his orchestra will furnish the music from nine to twelve o'clock and two local television stations, WILK-TV and WERE-TV, will provide television coverage at intermission.

Various gifts have been provided by local merchants to present to Mr. President and his First Lady. The stores contributing are: The Hub, Kresge's, Key Stores, Gross Novelty, Shiner's Gift Shop, and A Friend.

In a recent Student Council poll, the student body voted for more semi-formal dances, this is the Sophomore Class response.

The ten nominees selected by student vote last week are: Paul Katz, Tom Lally, Ed MeCafferty, Sam Lowe, Dave Polly, Bob Sokol, Dave Vann, Neil Dadurka, Don Reynolds and Tom Myers.

(Editor's Note; Paul Katz is a resident of Ashley Hall and not Warner Hall as listed in last week's BEACON. Both Mr. Katz and the men of Warner Hall requested this announcement.)

Committee co-chairmen Nick Sic- cko and Ann Bates are in charge of the dance. Other committee chairmen include: Dick Bailey, Rich Davis, tickets; Janice Reynolds, Torn Ruggiero, decorations; Lois Betner, M a r i o n Christopher, refreshments; Terry Smith, reception committee; John Saba, Rosie Wein- stein, publicity; Betty Nielson, in- vitations; and Ann Bates, cleanup.

Admission for this unusual dance is three dollars per couple and a no-corsage ruling will be in effect. Students interested in seeing some- thing new, different, and exciting are invited to attend.

DRIVE ENDS TODAY on schedule with $40,050.50 from only 41 per cent of the prospect cards. He said that he has a very optimistic outlook on the success of the campaign judging from the results of the first 41 per cent of the cards.

If all the prospects are visited, there is a good chance that the goal will be exceeded.

Last year, the campaign goal of $50,000 was exceeded by $1,000.

The books will be shipped to the A s i a n Students Organization in California from where they'll be sent to various Asian countries.

Among the newer plans on the CCUN agenda is a trip to a model United N at i on s Assembly at Princeton University. Wilkes was one of the few schools asked beforehand to submit a resolution to the authorities. Wilkes will represent Morocco at the conference. The whole club will attend.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND by Ruth Younger

The a n n u a I campaign of the Wilkes College Scholarship F'und closes today at 1:15 P.M. The goal of the campaign is $60,000, to be used exclusively for s t u d e n t s' scholarships. Mr. F. E. Parkhurst, a member of the Board of Trustees of the college, is chairman of the 1957 campaign.

There are 25 teams involving 140 people from the Valley who have voluntarily given their time and effort to v i s i t the prospective donors.

The purpose of their work is to provide financial aid so that capa- ble students who otherwise would find it impossible to pay the tuition fees can benefit from a college education.

EDITORIALS - Bulletin Boards

Recently we brought to the attention of Student Council President Don Reynolds the fact that the bulletin boards of the campus are in a terribly cluttered condition. Don promised to bring the topic up in the Council meetings and see if some solution could be found for this situation.

At the time of this writing, we have had no word of this week's meeting of the solons, but we hope that some good will come out of it. If anyone has any ideas for improvements on the present system, please come forward and make them known either to some council member or to the Beacon.

In the meantime, let's have everyone who has an out-dated notice on a bulletin board, please remove it.

Co-operation We would like to take this opportunity to commend the

Sophomore Class and the Lettemien's Club for their fine cooperation in their publicity work. The publicity committees of these two organizations have been on the job all year.

Whenever these groups have an activity, we have not been forced to seek out the members and drag news releases out of them by force. Req Mattioli of the Sophomore Class is to be congratulated on his fine organization, with John Saba heading the publicity committee.

Rodger Lewis has always been "Johnny-on-the-spot" for the Lettermen and has co-operated with the Beacon in every request.

On the other hand, there are many other groups on campus. But where are they?

Student Constitution A long-awaited and long-needed revision of the Student

Constitution is being planned by the Student Council. Since the document regulates all student activities, it is of vital interest to all students to see that it reflects the desires of the students.

Therefore, the aid of every student has been requested by the committee studying possible revisions, in order to bring the constitution up to date.

A copy of the "Constitution of the Student Body of Wilkes College" is listed in every copy of the Freshman Handbook. Study this document and see if there are any discrepancies or deficiencies, which you think should be changed.

If there are any, make it your business to see that a proposal to correct them is in the hands of the study committee by Tues- day night. The committee is headed by Les Weiner. Give your suggestions to any member of the council no later than Tuesday; they will see that the committee gives them due attention. tim

DRAMA CLUB PRODUCTIONS TO BE STAGED NEXT NEEK Retailers Recognized; Plan to Conduct Survey For Merchants' Council by Bill Zdancewicz

The Retailing Group has been officially accepted to operate as a subsidiary organization of the Eco- nomics Club. Neil Dadurka, past coordinator of the Group, presented the proposed amendment and recommended its approval.

It is the opinion of the Group, that by having such an organization, both students and the college would benefit. Students would gain by actual experience in retailing functions, through projects with local retailers, and at the same time, aid in building good public relations for the college.

At a meeting last week, officers were elected: Coordinator, Myron Suseck; Secretary, Joseph Leib- man; Student Representatives to the Merchant's Advisory Council, Ronald Tremayne and Joseph Leib- man; and Public Relations, Bill Zdancewicz.

A committee was formed to work on the coming Traffic Survey, after which they met with Mr. Stein in his office, for complete details. It was decided that a sample survey would be taken to test the accuracy of the questionnaire. Be- ginning April 1 the survey will get into "full swing".

The s u r v e y is one of many projects which the group has on the agenda. They are now working with Theta Delta Rho on the forthcoming Fashion Show, April 3. On the same date they will present an open-forum discussion concerned with Trading Stamps.

S. & H. MANAGER TO SPEAK ON 'TRADING STAMP ISSUE by Bill Zdancewicz

Mr. William Kondrat, Merchan- dising Manager of the Sperry and Hutchinson Company, will speak and participate in an open-forum discussion, on "The Trading Stamp Issue", Wednesday, April 3 at 8:00 P.M., in room 203, Pickering Hall. Mr. Eric Stein, retailing instructor, will act as moderator for the discussion.

The Retailing Group has en- gagedMr. Kondrat to speak on this important issue in hope that both students and the public would have an opportunity to increase their knowledge of trading stamps.

The use of trading stamps has been a debatable issue from both the retailer and consumer view- points. It has gained attention on both local and national levels, with legislative action resulting in some states.

Recently in Life magazine, an article appeared, w h i c h stressed

"What's it like to work for a big, ex- panding company like IBM? What would I be asked to do? Would I get ahead fast?" These were some of the questions that filled Bob Everett's mind as he faced up to the big problem, "How can I put my M.B.A. training to the best possible use?"

Bob came directly to IBM from Cornell in July, 1955, with an M.B.A. in finance. He was immediately assigned, with twenty-nine other M.B.A.'s, to a Business Adminis- tration training program. This six months' program comprised general orientation in the entire IBM organi-. zation, a six weeks' field trip to the

Syracuse branch office and several months at the Poughkeepsie manufacturing facilities. There he gained a functional knowledge of IBM machines, particularly the 700 series of giant electronic computers.

His training completed by January, 1956, Bob was assigned to the Methods Department as a Methods Analyst at IBM World Headquarters in New York City. Here, with the cooperation of operating department personnel, he worked on the development of systems and procedures for the various Divi- sion areas. In addition to normal methods techniques used in developing systems and procedures, he studied these projects in terms of possible machine application for either IBM high-speed giant computers or con- ventional accounting equipment. One project was the study of the Machine Ordering procedure with the objective of simplifying and mechanizing it and at the same time improving the source information to provide for a more complete analysis of sales and production backlog.

some of the pros and cons of trading stamps.

Merchants of the Wilkes-Barre area and the general public have also been invited. Students are welcome to participate in the open- forum discussion by asking questions relating to t h e discussed topic. An interesting evening is promised for all who attend.

FACULTY WOMEN COFFEE HOUR

The Wilkes Faculty Women will sponsor a Coffee Hour next Wed- nesday in the Commons. Mrs. Eugene Hammer, chairman, cordially invites all S t u d e n t s and faculty members to attend. Enter- tainment will be provided by the Girls' Chorus, under the direction of Marilyn Carl.

Judy Menegus, captain of the cheerleading squad, has announced that Mrs. Doane, Millie Gittins, and Bob Moran will select next year's cheerleaders at tryouts in April.

As the weeks have progressed, the number of girls vying for the title of cheerleader has increased. However, the veteran members of the squad are hoping that still more will come out, boys included.

Some students may be hesitant about cheerleading because of the time element. Judy Menegus is willing to hold practice sessions at the convenience of the students. As is well known, the whole squad does not participate at each sports event during the winter season, but rather in groups of three or four.

The girls are attempting some new cheers for next year's season along with other plans. However, all their plans depend upon co-

operation from the student body.

"What's it like to be in BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION AT IBM?" Two years ago, Robert Everett asked himself this question. Today, as Administrative Assistant to the Divisional Controller, Bob reviews his experience at IBM and gives some pointers that may be helpful to you in taking the first, most important step in your business career.

Filtering out the "hot" preects

Promoted the same year

By December of the same year, Bob was promoted to his present job Administrative Assistant to the Con- troller of the Data Processing Divi- sion. "The first function of an Administrative Assistant," says Bob, "is to filter out the 'hot' projects from those that can be handled later. You follow through on projects assigned by the controller and keep

Keeping the boss posted

him posted on their progress." Bob's new position affords a pleasant diver- sification of work: charting divisional responsibilities of the controller's function . . . plans for decentralization costs of regionalization . . . summariz- ing key financial and statistical information for presentation to top management.

Bob points out that there are many areas in Business Administration at IBM for men with an M.B.A. or a B.S. in accounting: corporate, general, and factory accounting; internal audit; methods; payroll and taxes. Administrative and management positions constantly open up at World Headquarters, IBM's 188 branch offices, many plants and laboratories.

Friends' Society Plans Clothing Collection;

Students Asked to Aid Mrs. Alfred Bastress and Mrs.

Eugene Farley are working in col- laboration with the Friends' Society to obtain clothes for the needy. The society urges Wilkes students to deliver articles of clothing, for which they have no use, to the Farley residence.

Mrs. Farley requested that only clean clothing be donated to the drive. She added that torn and frayed garments are welcome since the society meets weekly to sew or renovate clothing, making it suitable for use.

During the recent Hungarian crisis, the Friends were able to come to the aid of needy refugees.

Why Bob picked IBM

Bob made a careful study of existing opportunities before selecting IBM for his career. He had a dozen campus interviews; took nine company tours. IBM's M.B.A. program interested himbecause, as he says, "It gave me a chance to review the entire company before starting an actual line assignment." He was intrigued by the increasing use of data processing equipment in finance and he knew that IBM was a leader in this field. Salary'cwse, he found IBM better than many, but it was company growth potential that motivated his choice. "Opportunity certainly exists

"Opportunity certainly exists at IBM"

at IBM," he says. "Growth factors alone will account for many new exec- utive positions. A second factor is the trend toward decentralization, which also creates new jobs. These factors, plus IBM's 'promote-from-within' policy, add up to real opportunity."

IBM hopes that this message will help to give you some idea of what it's like to be in Business Administration at IBM.

The sixteen m e m b e r s of the music department's jazz workshop entertained the student body at Tuesday's assembly program. Len Sabalesky, the director of the dance band, supervised all the musical arrangements for the program.

The dance band, which plays Glenn Miller's s t y I e of music, featured Bev Dodson as vocalist. Bev is a junior music major from Shickshinny.

The members of the jazz workshop gave up their extra time in order to rehearse with the band. The "Big Band Blast", which is held every fall, pays for the workshop expenses, since the regular band budget does not provide for the group.

One of the most popular numbers on the program was Love For Sale, which was arranged for the band by Joe Sabalesky, Lenny's brother who plays with Lee Vincent's band.

Bev Dodson sang I'm Thrilled, which was made popular by Glenn Miller, and also Gershwin's Em- braceable You.

Other numbers, which were well received by the student body, were El Cumbanchero and Ravel's Bo- lero. The program closed with Lenny Sabalesky's arrangement of the Alma Mater.

T. JONES INJURED TUESDAY MORNING

Tom Jones, a member of the freshman class, from Edwardsville, was badly injured Tuesday morning when he ran into an automobile on South River Street, between South and Northampton Streets.

Running across the street, from the River bank, Jones struck the car, which was passing a parked vehicle.

Jones suffered a laceration of the right hand and a ripped tendon of the finger of his right hand when his hand s o m e ho w became en- tangled in the door handle of the automobile.

He was admitted to General Hospital shortly after the accident occurred and is now in Ward N, fifth floor.

The entire student body as well as the Beacon staff wish Tom a speedy recovery.

S.A.M. to Attend Meeting Monday evening, April 1, the

SAM will attend a meeting of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Chap- ter of the Society for the Advance- merit of Management. The affair will be held in Hotel Jermyn in Scranton at 8 P.M.

The subject of discussion will be "A University's Role in Training f o r Management". William G. Kelley, S.J., vice-president a n d dean of the University of Scran- ton, will be the guest speaker.

The club will meet at Pickering at 7:15. Dr. Farley and Mr. Chris- topher will accompany them.

Pin Handicap Events End on Sunday REESEMEN OPEN SEASON AT HOME ON TUESDAY AGAINST GETTYSBURG Face Moravian Away; Squad Lacks Players Needs Student Manager

The Wilkes baseball team, preparing for the opening game of its [6-game schedule is without a stu- lent manager, and somewhat lack- ing in reserve strength. C o a c h Tohn Reese would like to see any- ne who would care to help him

and Bill Mock as manager, in his office at the gym.

A n y experienced infielders or pitchers in the student body will also be more than welcome at the practice sessions.

For the opening game of the season at Artillery Park next Tues- lay, Coach Reese has not yet named starters. He hopes to have an intra-squad contest this afternoon in order to get some idea of what kind of a team he will be able to field.

The competition this year will be ctiff. All teams on the schedule are members of the Middle Atlan- tic Conference, and have plenty of strength.

The Gettysburg Bullets, Tues- day's foes, play a hard and fast

,

game, and get some fine experiences during the season, meeting such teams as Syracuse, Navy, and Penn State. The down-staters have always put excellent athletic teams on the field, and their diamond squad will be no exception.

As if Coach Reese didn't have enough headaches, the next game, to be p 1 a y e d at Bethlehem on Wednesday, pits the Colonels a- gainst the Greyhounds of Moravian, led by senior Ron Grift. The Grey- hounds had a 15-2 record last year, on the strength of Grift's fine season at third base. The Reading (Pa.) captain of the team led the hitters with a .385 hatting average valuable player.

Pitcher Jim Van Netter, High Bridge (N.J.) sophomore, may get the starting assignment. Van Net- ter's record last year was seven wins and two losses.

The team is well-rouooded and is studded with many standout returnees from last season's squad.

Tuesday's game with Gettysburg will be played at Artillery Park, and weather permitting, will begin at 4:00 P.M. This will allow plenty of time for the student body to trn out in droves to cheer the Colonels on.

SPORTS SPURTS by DICK MYERS, Sports Editor

BASEBALL OUTLOOK CLOUDY Coach John Reese's lack of optimism can be caused by more than -e gloom of the traditional pre-season laments by college coaches.

us fears appear to be well-founded. The pitching staff amounts to a grand total of two men, several players have dropped out already, and he lacks the depth of personnel so vital to a successful team.

There are men on campus who are known to have had some experience in playing baseball, yet for some reason, they haven't tried out for the team.

The Colonels face a tough schedule this year, much rougher than the one they had last season, and this lack of bench-strength will hurt.

He is further hampered in his chores by the lack of a student manager. The duties of this individual are varied, but it's a job that affords someone a chance to go along with the team to all their games, learn a bit about the game; and most of all gives a man a chance to be of some help to the College's athletic program, Coach Reese will have enough on his mind with-

M y e r s out concerning himself with details that can easily be handled by a student. The players

will also be too busy to double in these tasks, so - volunteers, please.

SOFTBALL LEAGUE STILL UNFORMED Mr. Reese is plagued with other problems, too. He is still waiting

for someone to take the job of running the Intramural Softball League as Student Director. Pleas have been sent out in these pages for the past three issues, for men to come forth and consent to act as umpires. So far, no response. Time is growing short. Next Friday is deadline for rosters, officials and directors. Let's see some action.

MORE RECOGNITION FOR WILKES Wilkes College will be the wrestling capitol of the East next year.

En addition to our own Wilkes Open Wrestling tourney, the "Rose Bowl of Wrestling", the Colonel matmen will defend their MASCAC crown here at the South Franklin Street gym.

The Middle Atlantic tourney officials announced recently that Wilkes has been selected as the host school to next year's event. To those of us who took the trip to Gettysburg this season, this is great news. There was some of the finest wrestling our eyes have ever seen baking place in the tourney, and we are proud that we will be able to ece more of the same next year without leaving the city.

On the mat subject - we understand that several of the local high school wrestlers, attracted by the winning record of the Wilkes team, hope to come to this College next Fall. Sounds very encouraging. Some of these boys made fine showings in the District 2 PIAA cham- pionships held here recently; it will be a pleasure to have them on :ampus next year.

E.I.B.C. TOURNEY WANTS COLONELS Wilkes has yet another chance to make a name for itself in Eastern

3ports circles. The Eastern Intercollegiate individual match champion- ;hips will be held next month in New York City. The Eastern Inter- ollegiate Bowling Conference sponsors this event annually, and have

bhis year issued an invitation to Wilkes. Among the member schools are: Columbia U., Fordham, Long

[sland U., Manhattan College, N.Y.U., and St. John's University. Last year, some 22 schools sent over 100 bowlers to the tourney.

Any bona-fide Wilkes undergraduate is eligible (males only). For urther information or plans to form an entry, contact Pete Perog, Bill

rremayne, or this reporter.

GOLF TEAM READIES

NEEDS BIGGER SQUAD

,

Golf Coach John Curtis has announced that the team will con- tinue its early practice sessions to iron out the kinks, to get ac- customed to the use of flags, and in general to simulate conditions on the course.

It is understood that there are several experienced golfers among the student body who feel that they are not good enough to make the squad. Coach Curtis emphasizes that desire, not experience is the main thing he seeks. Any student who wishes, may try out for the team.

Among the returnees from last year's team, the first to be formed at Wilkes: Bill Tremayne, senior; Dave Polley, junior; Ed Mikolaitis, sophomore; and Bernie Dancheck. Missing from last year's squad, Neil Dadurka.

Newcomers to the team: Scott Trethaway, Sam Dilcer, Bill Brill, and Chuck Robinson. Freshman talent includes: Pete Perog, Frank Steck, and team manager Henry Esposito.

The home matches for the Colo- nels will be at Irem Temple Coun- try Club. Elimination matches will be held before every intercollegiate match to deternline the men who will compete against the Middle Atlantic opponents.

New rules from the offices of the Middle Atlantic Conference are to be announced later next week.

B. Tremayne and J. Coates Capture Men's Doubles Championship Cup, All Awards to he Presented Monday

NEKI HOKI HVE WINS

TITLE IN PLAYOFFS The Intramural c a g e season

ended last week with the championship playoffs between the Ameri- can League titlists, the Neki Hoki five and the National League representatives, the Blackhawks. The Neki Hold boys came out on the long end of a 73-59 score.

Led by Joe Parsnik's 20 points on seven goals and six fouls, the Neki Hold quintet divided its scoring evenly between four men. Tom Doty contributed five goals and nine fouls for a 19-point ierforrn- ance, Mike Dydo had 17 points on five goals and seven fouls, and Jay Kubicki had 10 points.

Other Neki Hoki players and their scores: Ron Ercolani, 4; Bob Pipon, 2; and Bill Bergstrasser, 1.

For the Blackhawks, five men hit double figures in a losing effort. John Wasickanin was high man with six goals and four fouls for a 16-point total. Joe Margalis hit for 12 noints on four goals and four fouls. Art Hontz and Jerry Gorski each had 11 points, both scoring five goals and one foul.

Other members of the team and their scoring: F rank Steck, 4; Larry Polk, 3; and Gene Price, 2.

Bob Sokol, standout defense-man for Eddie Davis' varsity five, was the referee for the championship game.

Tennis Practice De'ayed Dean George Ralston, Director of

Athletics, announced this w e e k that response has been favorable to his call for people interested in intercollegiate competition.

The major difficulties facing the activation of the tennis schedule at present are playing courts and weather conditions.

Each factor depends considerably on the other. The courts will not be available for play or for practice until the weather breaks. The: home courts for the Colonels are in Kirby Park, and they won't be in satisfactory playing condition for a few more weeks.

Mr. Ralston does expect to be able to put the team through some practice sessions within the next couple of weeks, however.

Because no action will take place for a while yet, no team rosters are available for publication, but there have been several interested mdi- yiduals volunteering, and there is

lways room on the squad for a few more.

Because weather conditions are unfavorable until nearly the close of the school year, the schedule is necessarily limited to a few contests.

To date, the schedule for the Wilkes team shows an April 20 home contest with the Scranton Royals, a road game with Moravian on April 26, and the finale at Scranton on May 16th.

Bill Tremayne Nominated for THE KERNEL'S KORN

by Dick Myers Friend of ours bought a new

car the other day. Claims he had to; the ashtrays of his old one were filled. What a car he got, too. Everything runs by pushing a button. The only trouble he had was trying to locate the button that pushes all the other buttons.

Talk about convenience! This niodel really solves the parkiiig problem. When you're ready to leave your car, you just press a button and the top goes back, the wheels fold into the body, the body folds up into a compact bundle, then you put the whole works into the glove compartment.

These new models are really a mechanic's nightmare. It's getting to the point where you need a degree in engineering just to find the gas cap. They don't call mechanics "grease-monkeys" anymore. The new cars are so dignified and dis- tinctive, that they call themselves things like "lubrication specialists" now. No matter how you loo:k at it though, the mechanic is still the one man who goes home from work oily.

They still haven't invented a gadget to take the place of women drivers, though. When a woman sticks her arm out of a car window, she may be turning left, she may turn right, she could be dry- ing her fingernail polish, or she might be pointing to the location of her last accident. Of one thing you can be sure, however . . . the window is open.

It has been observed that if you took all the cars that were ever built and placed them end-to-end, some darn fool would still try to pass.

Someone, probably the s a m e sage, also said that mechanical failure isn't always the cause of accidents, it's usually the loose nut behind the wheel.

The police of one of the North- eastern states caution: Don't drive fast to make time, you might end up doing it.

One of the cities in that state has a sign which reads: Sixty-five people died from gas in this town last year; One ignited it, four breathed it, and sixty stepped on it.

That's the reason why most

cemeteries have fences a r o u n ci

their areas. People are dying to get in. It's what you call a grave situation.

Then there's the alcoholic midget who died in an accident. His last request was that he be given a short bier. His passing caused quite a bit of confusion amongst his survivors. Seems as though he left several wills, each naming different recipients of his small fortune. He was what you call a fresh heir fiend.

Then there's the classic triple pun attributed to a former U. S. Senator. Three men were left a huge Texas ranch by a rich uncle. One raised sheep on his third of the property, another raised cattle the third raised hogs. At a loss for a name for their ranch, they asked help from their mother. She advised calling it "Focus". When asked why, she replied, "Where the sun's rays meet."

Nothing was said a b 0 Ut the father in this story, 'but it is as- sumed that he went into the sugar business with his share. At least, his wife is reported as saying that he's off raising cane somewhere.

Library Notes Mrs. Nada Vujica, head librari-

an, announced that the Consoli- dated Cigar Company of Wilkes- Barre has given the library a one thousand dollar grant. The money is to be used for boo:ks on personnel relations, business administration and economics.

She also announced that the library obtained a new Bell and Howell projector last week.

The library has recently received a new 1957 edition of the Encyclo- pedia Britannica, a New Webster's International Dictionary i n five volumes and The Britannica World Language Dictionary of six lan- guages in two volumes.

Mrs. Vujica also announced that her office has been painted in a rather unique shade of blue and invites anyone who wishes to come to see it.

e*.ers ip Twenty-five Students To Attend Convention Next Month in Capitol

At the annual convention of the Northeast Region of the Intercol- legiate Conference on Government, Bill Tremayne was chosen unani- mously as the regional Candidate for the speakership of the state- wide convention to be held at Harrisburg, April 11, 12, and 13.

Bill, a senior accounting major, is the president of the Internation- al Relations Club and chairman of the Wilkes chapter of the Inter- collegiate Conference on Govern- ment. He is a charter member of the Wilkes affiliate of the Junior Chamber of Commerce.

Throughout the school year, the Wilkes chapter has sponsored such civic projects as the d e b a to b e t w e en Congressman Daniel J. Flood and his opponent for the election to the House of Repre- sentatives, Attorney E a o c h H. Thomas.

The club also sponsored an election night conference to analyze the results of the Presidential election as they came in. This affair was widely attended by the campus as a whole.

In the social vein, the I.R.C. provided the first jazz concert ever to be offered to the Wilkes campus.

On the basis of his work as speaker, Bill Tremayne was nominated by the University of Scran- ton to vie for the State speakership.

During the past month and for the next week, the club is in the process of preparing proposed laws for the Commonwealth of Pennsyl- vania and amendments to the State Constitution, as this year's convention of the Intercollegiate Confer- ence on Government will be a model General Assembly.
