ED CLUB DANCE TONITE IN GYM

The Calico Hop, sponsored by the Education Club, will be held this evening from 9 to 12 in the gym. This will be the last sport dance of the year on campus and offers the students a final fling before they become engrossed in the pies- sures of test-taking.

Calico Hop, a modern and square dance will feature Harry Wilkie, one of the area's prominent square dance callers. Wilkie has appeared on campus at several previous, successful square dances. Members of the Education Club feel that this affair should be more than an over- whelming success since there has not been a square dance on campus for several weeks.

General chairman of the affair is Eugene Price. He is assisted by John Karoichyk, social chairman; Sylvia Cusick, music; Tom Feeny, decorations; Mike Wilgus, refresh- ments; Connie Yahara, tickets; and Barbara Bachman, publicity.

1958 Manuscript Has 'New Look' by Jim Eidam

The Manuscript, literary and art magazine of the college, is ready for distribution on campus, accord- ing to the editorial staff. Since there is a tremendous variety of material incorporated in this year's issue, the magazine will undoubted- ly be of interest to all who read it. Contributions in the form of essays, short stories, poems, and art work have been submitted by faculty members and students of Wilkes.

The theme of the publication is "Past, Present and Future", and the works which appear have been classified accordingly.

Two essays are contained in the section devoted to the Past. They are Gordon Roberts' "Selections from the Principles of St. Augus- tine," centered around the theme of proving the existence of a Divine Being; and, George Black's "The Significant Middle Ages," which relates some noteworthy achievements of the period which histori- ans commonly identify with intel- lectual stagnation and "darkness."

The second section, featuring the Present, contains a variety of short stories and essays. "For Ladies Only," a humorous and somewhat satirical commentary on "ladies' magazines, is offered as one of the lighter pieces of work. It is a most enjoyable essay by Elena Dovyde- nas. "Never to Know," by Barbara Federer, is an expository biography of an unfortunate membei' of a b a c k w o o d s Pennsylvania farm family. Additional features in this section are "Later, Mom" by Albert J. Valenia, and Nicholas Gatto's "Was He Mad."

Featured in the section on the Future is a science-fiction story, "Come," by James Cornelius; this story ends on a somewhat significant religious note. Two essays on educational s y s t e m s, "The Steeds of Caesar" by Ed Milowicki, and Mr. Robert Tener's "Upon PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor

EDITORIAL

End of the Line

Today marks the end of another academic and social year at Wilkes and it also marks the end of another year of publishing the Beacon. For us seniors it marks the end of four years of serious study and joyful activity. There will be others to take our places here at the college as we begin our futures elsewhere.

We will also be replaced here on the Beacon staff but we leave with the feeling that the paper will be left in competent hands. We wish Marion Klaworin and her staff the best of luck.

This year's paper could not have been published without the enthusiastic cooperation given by all of our staff members. We appreciate particularly the hard work of our editorial staff consisting of Marion Klawonn, Dick Myers, and Mary Louise Onufer; but we cannot go on without mentioning Jim Eidam and Bill Zdancewicz who did more than their share of work for the paper.

This year's Business Staff was handled more efficiently than previous staffs in the past few years, and we have had better and more advertising which permitted us to set a record in publishing six-page papers because of the extra funds the ads brought in. We salute Tom Myers, who was responsible for this achieve- ment, and Carol Hallas and Peggy Salvatore who carried on Tom's good work when he graduated.

Of course any publication could not be successful without the guidance of a good adviser, and we feel that Mi. Francis J. Salley was the best possible one we could have. We needed only to present a reasonable request to him, and he worked until our request was granted. Mr. Salley's most admirable trait was his interest in knowing exactly what we were planning to do each week and he was always willing to offer constructive criticism or helpful suggestions.

Naturally the mechanical aspects of a newspaper are most important and consume a great deal of time. However, the job can be enjoyable when working with pleasant people such as Mr. Stanley E. Schmidt and his sons, Eddie and Leo, from Schmidt's Printery. The Schmidts have cooperated with us to the fullest extent and we have enjoyed working with them.

We will miss Wilkes College and the Beacon next year but we will not forget all of the pleasant experiences we have had. - jan

Letter to the Editor... Madam Editor:

In the May 9 issue of the Beacon Philip Lear says of the inflationary wage d em and s of the unions: "These (union) demands, met by the key companies, set into motion a chain reaction for the entire economy. Labor costs having risen, prices now rise. If continued, this wage-round system of collective bargaining will lead to the ulti- mate destruction of American free enterprise; and the institution of a collective form of economy."

Well what are the facts? Evi- dence seems to indicate that it is not the union movement but the management that is the driving force behind higher' prices. Father Ralph Gorrnan, editor' of the Sign, reported in his October', 1957 issue that since 1945 there have been 29 increases in the price of steel and only nine wage increases. During that period the companies have made over' $3.00 for every dollar given in wage increases. In other words, wage increases are used as an excuse to raise prices. Bringing these facts up to date, two months ago, a steel executive reluctantly testified in front of the Kefauver committee that the recent $6.00 per ton increase was more than twice the amount needed to meet the ic- cent union demands.

The auto industry recently raised prices approximately $100.00 per car in the face of a smaller demand. The other official reason was that steel prices rise $6.00 per ton. The auto companies, however, neglected to tell the public that they use only a little mor'e than one ton per automobile. A $6.00 rise in production costs precipitated a $100.00 rise in selling prices.

The technical term for this condi- tion is "administered pricing." The semi-monopolies are able to raise pr'ices in the face of a recession, The tow of supply and demand dictates that prices should'fall, and yet the giant corporations do the opposite. Herein lies a basic cause for the creeping inflation that Phil so worries about.

A quick look at the price indices also shows that unions, although a contributory factor, have little responsibility for' current price increases. The New York Times of March 2, 1958 reports that four- fifths of the rise in the cost of living in 1958 reflects higher food prices in which union activity has little importance. The Christian Science Monitor of

October' 8, 1957 reports that ser'- vices (the least union organized segment of the economy) and rent make up a very important segment of the consumer pr'ice index (35.7% of the total), This component has risen sharply - 37% since the 1947-49 base period - almost double 20% increase in the total consumer index.

Phil laments that "there never' was a more serious domestic prob- 1cm than the increase in the power of the labor unions." Again this neglects empirical fact.

Far from increasing, the power' of the labor movement is actually decreasing as measured in several ways.

Fortune reported in November of 1952 that if one compares the total strength of the AFL-CIO, and independent unions with the expansion of the U.S. labor force as a whole it is evident that the Iropor- tion of unionized has been decr'eas- ing. This rose slowly to a peak of 36% in 1946. In 1952 it had fallen to 30%. The latest 1958 figures are 28.8%. Furthermore, Fortune reported in December of 1957 that from 1954 to the end of 1956 union m e m b e r s h i p rose 500,000 - a 3% growth, but the labor' force increased 3,500,000 - a gr'owth of 7%. In other' words, labor"s portion is decreasing at an ever' increasing rate, and this is even mor'e true as a result of the recession.

Union power can be measured not only in membership but in assets. Here, too, the bogey man of the labor giant vanishes. New Republic reports that the combined assets of all the 180 odd labor unions are still less than those of one iant corporation like A,T.&T.

Facts Worth Noting! This being our closing issue of the year we wish to mention

a few worldly facts which we believe are worth noting. First of all, the man who laughs last is usually sitting behind a woman with her hat on in a movie. Furthermore, it is a wise woman who makes her husband feel that he is head of the house when he is really only chairman of the entertainment committee! And speaking of women, have you noticed they always talk about having nothing to wear to a party but, notice if you will, they never wear it???

Secondly, did you know that because of blinking, you spend 11 % to 14 'i of your waking hours in total darkness? In addition, it's always darkest just before the yawn... Further sta- tistics show that male college graduates of 1931 report 2.09 children each, while female grads lay claim to only 1.55. Re- markable what education can do!

Then there's the rumor about that blue serge is dead, yet we know one place where it shines as bright as ever! To con- tinue - Now that baseball season is here, we must say that nobody can make as quick a decision as the average baseball fan. As a final note, we believe the absolute king of all optimists is the man who edits the seed catalog!

Wait a minute - Here is a sure-fire formula for success: Don't quit looking for work after you've found a job.

Fender Bender The date: Wednesday, May 7. The place: Parking lot be-

hind Gore Hall. The above date and place pertain to an incident which re-

sulted in a dented fender. The car, a 1947 blue Chevy converti- ble, belonging to Bob Dominick, a junior at Wilkes, was hit by some driver who failed to acknowledge the accident.

Perhaps the driver didn't realize any damage was done; however, the left front fender of Dominick's car was dented.

On Dominick's request, we are printing this reminder in hopes that the person responsible will notify him by calling VA 3-7064.

Birth Announcement Name: Lisa Marie Michelini Weight: 6 pounds, 12 ounces Date of Birth: Monday, May 12, 1958 Place: Mercy Hospital, Wilkes-Borne Time: 4:00 p.m. Parents: Dr. and Mrs. Francis J. Michelini Address: 148 Dana St., Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Family Info: Father is Assistant Professor of Biology at

Wilkes College. Sister Michele Ann will be 2 years old in August.

Standing Ovation Once again the Wilkes Collegians proved themselves to be

one of the best chorus groups in this area when they appeared at the Westmoreland Club, Saturday, May 10, and received a standing ovation from the audience.

The occasion was the annual Mother's Day Dinner-Dance held at the Westmoreland Club. The Wilkes Collegians were invited to participate in the program which was arranged by Mr. and Mrs. John Detroy. Many of those present have been quoted as saying that the musical presentation given by the Collegians was one of the best programs they have heard in a long time. We of Wilkes are rightly proud of our male chorus and we wish them continued success for next year under the able baton of

their new director, Bill Peters. Young Collector

When the librarian questioned the little boy's book choice, Advice to Young Mothers, he explained, "I'm collecting moths."

Good Place to - Study! The library staff of Wilkes wishes to remind students that

the following hours will prevail during the examination period which begins Monday, May 19:

Monday thru Thursday - 8 am. to 9:30 p.m. Friday - 8 am. to 5 p.m. Saturday - 8 n.m. to 4 p.m.

- In closing . . . play it cool!

or' Metropolitan Life. The United States Steel Workers has assets of $20 million while the United States Steel Cor'poiation has assets of $3 billion. Comparative assets is of course of g r e a t e s t significance when it comes to a showdown strike. One wonder's, therefore, if we should not be more concerned over corporation monopoly because unions only recently have had any- thing near' the power' of employer's.

Finally, Phil worries about the trend toward a "collective form of economy" and away from the rugged capitalism of the past. One gets the feeling that he, like most conservatives, would have us re- gress to the 1880's and the days of robber' barons - rugged capitaiism in its naked form. The only problem is that Phil never' once at-

tempted to show us how collectiv- ism is bad or unnecessary in a society in which so many private organizations are already collectiv- ized. And what is wrong with government collective action - we have social security, TVA, federal housing, etc., and working so ef- fectively today.

In conclusion, we believe that this attack upon the labor movement was undocumental empirically and in fact unsound theoretically; and that Phil presents rio solution to the pr'oblem he poses, other' than the implied destruction of the union movement. It is to say the least an untenable position.

Sincerely yours, BRUCE WARSHAL FRED ROBERTS

by Toni Scureman At Tuesday's assembly in the First Presbyterian Church,

Mrs. Doane and Dean Ralston presented three seniors with a Dean's Cup for outstanding academic records throughout their four years at Wilkes. Francis Gallia received the men's award and, because of the slight margin between the two academic averages, two women were presented with awards, Virginia Leonardi and Marsha Mason. Ronnie Rescigno capped his out-

standing career in athletics at Wilkes with the "Athlete of the year" award presented by Dick Myers. Ron will have his name in- scribed on the Wilkes trophy and will receive a gold replica of the cup for his personal possession.

The award for the best assembly of the year, presented by Rita Ma- tiskela, went to the CCUN for the program at which Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt addressed the students. Dave Vann, president of the club, accepted the award.

Two education majors, Joseph Ludgate and Naomi Kaufer, were presented with citations by the Education Club for their outstanding efforts in its behalf throughout the past yeal. Margaret Jones, president of the club, announced the awards.

The fifteen members of the Stu- dent Council received keys, silver for the graduating seniors and gold for the underclassmen, for their participation in this activity. The recipients were, Seniors: Ed Kotu- Ia, president; John Scandale, Ron Tremayne, and Joe Oliver; Juniors: Barbara Federer, John Schade, Bob Morris, Tom Ru g g i e r o; Sopho- mores: Lynne Boyle, John Muihall, Dick Salus, George Reynolds; and Freshmen: Patsy Sanders, William Davis, Tom Thomas.

Dr. Farley concluded the assembly program with some comments about Wilkes' accomplishments this year, the success of its graduates in the past and his hope for the outstanding biologists of the year seniors. He expressed the idea that many of the benefits of a college education are intangible and that he hoped that the graduates have received more from their four years than is revealed in their academic records.

Morris To Head Student Council ZAJKOWSKI AwARDEDOther Officers Elected; MUSICSCHOLARSHIP

Fall Format Scheduled To Study Organization

by Fred Roberts Again last week, Washington reporter John Metcalf ad-

dressed our assembly; and again he predicted his claim to our awed attention upon the assertion that he was going to give us the inside story on Washington happenings, but in light of Mr. Metcalf's obvious qualifications and in light of his previous talks, I was not completely satisfied.

That Krushchev's rise was surprise and that he was making policy revisions previous to his open ascendency, was frankly no surprise; that he does not wield Stalin-like complete control, and that the Soviet has toned down its terrorism policy are not unknown to the reading public. Instead of this, I would rather have heard an extensive appraisal of Washington thinking on Summit talk possibili- ties, disengagement, nuclear test- ing, current areas of international unrest, or even the domestic recession. But perhaps, currency and specifics are too much to ask of speakers on the lecture circuit.

This of course is not intended to detract from Mr. Metcalf's speaking skills - he covered clearly and concisely several important issues, and he spoke with sufficient authority and emphasis to hold what is always a very restive audience.

But aside from these general criticisms, I must confess to have been unconvinced by Mr. Metcalf's optimistic appraisal of the im- probabilities of war. It is reason- ably assumed that neither the So- viet nor the United States will suddenly launch an all-out attack upon the other because of the recog nition on both sides of the complete devastation that would result.

But suppose, as Mr. Metcalf postulated, that the Communists upon sufficient provocation sent East Gei-man troops into Western Berlin as a part of an attempt to quell another civil uprising, or that the Chines Reds invaded the over- shore islands as the first step in an attack upon Formosa, or that Red "volunteers" intervened in one of the constant Near East crises. The U. S. would then almost in- evitably become involved.

We would be militarily hopeless- ly outnumbered and our only hope of success or even stalemate short of a drawn out and costly Korea-

type conflict would be n u c 1 e a r weapons. But would we use them if it meant in the exchange the eventual nuclear retaliation upon U. S. cities? We would certainly be hesitant even though we have indicated that in any future conflict we would use these weapons. If our non-nuclear war potential remains very limited as it is now, it is not beyond belief that Soviet leaders, pushed by internal pres- sures or external developments, would balance the risks of U. S. retaliation and decide upon such a venture.

It is, therefore, not too difficult to picture a local war and, perhaps, even a global conflict depending on what actions the U. S. takes. And so we see the initiative for making earth-shaking decisions lying in Washington as well as Moscow. This dilemma becomes even more acute when we realize that if our economic aid and political strategy moves are successful, as they must be, in encountering the brilliant and efficacious moves of the Krem- lin the pressure upon the Soviet for renewed military ventures is actually increased; so we see that the situation of the United States is not as rosy as it was pictured.

Mr. Metcalf's reassurance and his optimism in regard to technical achievements are, perhaps, war- ranted; but such cheerleading cre- ates dangerous illusions and sap- ping laxity. We young people, far from needing reassurances, must face up to challenges of a dynamic and threatening communist mono- lith. A little fear may be a good thing. Our greatest problem is not anxiety but complacency; we really give very little thought to the Russian menace, and therefore I feel that a cavalier attitude is somewhat amiss.

Ginny Leonardi Cinderella 1958

Miss Virginia L e o n a r d i was named Cinderella f 1958 at the annual Cinderella Ball held on May 9. The exciting and long-awaited announcement was made at midnight by Dr. Farley.

Cinderella was escorted to the ball by her fiance, Marty Novak, who is a student at Pennsylvania State University. They are to be married in September.

This is an open invitation to the male student body of Wilkes Col- lege to try out for the varsity football team on September 1. Win- ning football teams are made of men with ordinary abilities but extra-ordinary desires. I promise that it won't be easy to have a winning team, and there will be a lot of hard work. I believe, however, that there are men in the student body who are willing to give of their time for that feeling of satisfaction that comes from pride of having made the sacrifices necessary to do a good job for the best results.

It is important to remember that when you wear the blue and the gold, you are representing Wilkes in intercollegiate competition. You are a concrete symbol of your faculty and student body. You must believe in the education and tradi- tion you are receiving and helping to build. Those qualities will be reflected in your attitude. If you sincerely believe in them, you will give your best.

Some of you may laugh and ask, "What's in it for me if I go out for the football team?" If you are one of these, I say, "There are re- wards that money cannot puchase." There are many opportunities given to you which were not included in the cost of your tuition. If you believe that the cost of your tuition is covering all you are receiving, then you are fooling yourself. I should like to discuss this very problem with you when I am on campus in the Fall.

Some of you believe that you do not have the ability to play football. You will always be doubtful until you try. Desire is 90 per cent of any game. All we ask is that you try, and let the coaches be the judges.

If you are interested in this invitation, please leave your name and address, at which you can be reached during the summer, with Dean Ralston. I will contact you by mail or in person to make pie- parations for a winning football season.

In closing, I wish you would think of this:

Those that cannot do but attempt they can, are admired.

Those that can do but attempt to do, are respected.

Those that can do but will not do, shall always leave doubt.

Very sincerely yours, FRANCIS PINKOWSKI

JAYCEES REPORT ON CONVENTION JC's Hold Final Dinner-Meeting, *

Delegates Report, Elections Held, Membership Inst allalions Made

The Wilkes Jaycees concluded their year's activities with a dinner-meeting at O'Connell's Kingston House last Tuesday, at which time final committee reports were made and election of officers held.

George Ginader presided at the meeting as rotating chair- nan.

The following juniors of the Jay- cees have volunteered as ushers for graduation exercises: Mike Goobic, J, Bob Morris, John Suseck, Dave Wasserstrorn, Dick Salus, and My- ron Suseck.

Len Mulcahy and Bill Zdancewicz reported on the recent Pennsylvania State Junior Chamber of Commerce Convention which they attended in Pittsburgh. They represented the Wilkes Jaycees at the three-day convention as guests of the Greater Wilkes-Bane Junior Jaycees.

Their report included a six-page breakdown on the general activities of the convention - caucuses, elections, awards - and also a verbal presentation of these activities.

Among the dignitaries at the convention w e r e the Honorable David Lawrence, mayor of Pitts- burgh and candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania; and Dr. Dware Orton of I.B.M., who was the main speaker at the Keynote Dinner. His topic: "America Know Why." He pointed out the need for a recognition of "man" as the important factor in economic growth. Governor Leader also attended the convention.

The Wilkes Jaycee representa- tives reported that the Awards Luncheon brought to light the many activities which the Junior Chamber participate in during the year, which too often goes unnoticed by the general public. The following are just a few of the many activities: Civic and culture improvement, Christmas activities, community health, international relations, profit making, public affairs, public relations, sports activities, trade promotion, traffic s a f e t y, youth activity, membership a n d leadership training.

In the election of state officers, Hugh Carr, the candidate from the W-B Jaycees (for administrative vice-president) lost in a stirring campaign both in presentation and follow through.

The convention activities closed with a floor show and dance on Saturday night, May 3.

Election of Officers Following the convention report,

election of officers was held with the following m e m b e r s being elected: Myron Suseck, permanent chairman; John Rentschler, secretary; and Bob Morris, treasurer.

Following the election of officers, Dan Falkowitz, past permanent chairman of the college Jaycees addressed the group, expressing his wish for their success in the coming year and advising the new members to uphold the purposes of the Jay- cees.

Bob Morris commented on the value of leadership training gained as members of the Jaycees. Stress- ing this point Morris said, "No one benefits by what you have to con- tribute if as a member you just sit and hold bank your ideas. You should speak up, as what you have to say, may 'spark' others into bigger and better ideas."

Colonel Nine Plays Susquehanna 'Home - and - HOme' Set Concludes Hot Chase For MASCAC Crown

by DICK MYERS. Sports Editor

No editor closes his pages for good without giving credit where credit is due. This task is not always as easy as it may sound. Over the stretch of two years at this typewriter, the ol' Sports Spurter has pounded out a goodly number of lines of type, some good, most bad, little read. Regardless of its relative merit, the information distributed came necessarily from a diversity of sources, reliable and otherwise. In addition, it has been the unselfish efforts and considerable leg-work of a number of people which have contributed to the weekly compilation of our sports news.

To this year's staff of sports writers, I extend my most sincere thanks and congratulations. Thanks for a job well done, congratulations because each is a graduating senior. Regrets could be added since they are not going to he around to give us their time and efforts next year. Without Bob Sutherland, Jim Hennighan, and Al Ullman, I would have had an impossible task. Sincerest thanks too, to the "legmen," without whom no newspaper

would last five minutes. Paul Katz, Stan Yurkowski, Morgan Davis, Al Manarski, Pete Perog, Mike Goobic, Bob Morris, Ira Himmal, Cliff Kobland, Bill Woll, and Bill Zdancewicz have all worked hard to provide me with a wealth of information running from wrestling, through tennis and golf, to intramural sports.

A special vote of thanks to Mim Thomson is also in order. Mim was league secretary of the Intramural bowling season and assisted no little in the statistical nightmare that goes with the planning and direc- tion of such an activity.

An equally special vote of thanks to brother TIM for his many intangible boosts as well as some tine journalistic efforts during the football season and the wrestling tournament.

There are, I fear, some names I may have omitted. I hope not, but it seems impossible that I could have received such huge amounts of help from such a limited number of people.

LONG DISTANCE HELP, TOO During the year we received items of interest from Jack Curtis, who now teaches English at Green Park Union High School in Elliots- burg and from Jerry Roth in Carlisle, who sent along notes concerning the opposition at Dickinson. From Curtis, we got news of the progress of former Colonels Jim Atherton, head cage coach at Perry Joint High School, New Bloomfield, Pa., and Jim's associates there, Frank Kopicki and John Warner, alumni dating from the days of Bucknell Jr. College.

LOOKING AHEAD Next year, Morgan Davis, senior C&F student, will preside over these pages. It is with some feeling of nostalgia that I relinquish the sports desk to his care, but the time for change comes, and it does no good to try to stop progress.

Writing the sports news has been interesting, amusing, frustrating, maddening, enjoyable, and infuriating at one and the same time. Per- haps Morgan finds little encouragement at such adjectives, but the truth of the matter is that I will miss the job in many ways. For those who have helped me in tangible ways and in those things which cannot be measuredagain I extend my hearty thanks. To those on whose toes I may have stepped, my apologies. I may not have been correct in alltoo many cases, but right or wrong, "I calls 'em as I sees 'em."

PHONIES WIN SOFTBALL TITLE ON ONE-HITTER BY DURISHAN

Intramural softball came to an end on Wednesday night at Kirby Park when Joe Durishan hurled a one-hitter for the Phonies, American League champs, to defeat the Dirty Rotten Lowdown Hombres, 8-1. The game was the second consecutive playoff contest for the Hombres, who ended the regular season tied with Club 20. The tie forced a playoff for the

National League title on Tuesday, which turned out to be one of the best slug-fests seen in the loop all season. Club 20 was edged out by a 10-9 score, in spite of a round- trip blast by George Morgan. Mor- gan was both hero and "goat," when he hit an easy pop fly for the final out of the game, which could have gone either way.

The Phonies, captained by George Yeninas, held a perfect record throughout the season, having won the league crown on a 4-0 record. Team members ale: Joe Durishan, Jake Tinshaw, Norm Hysic, Larry Williams, Armand Caruso, Reggie Trysekowski, Art Olack, Art Olack, Andy Rushin, Chuck Billing, Bob Ambrose, Andrew C. Gutkowski, Robert Turley, Roger Klein, Joe Moiski, and Dan Jacobs.

The Hombres were co-captained by Paul Klein and Glenn Johnson. They suffered only one loss in the regular season, held a 4-1 record to tie with Club 20. Team members: Frank Steck, Jack Heltzel, Bill Edwards, Hall Shaver, Gene Zelinski, Bob Mugforcl, Dan Lewis,

Gene Edwards, Mitchell Czoch, Bill James, Ron Simms, and Tony Kul- nitis.

TENNIS SQUAD TESTS

RUGGED BEARS TODAY The tennis match with Ursinus,

this afternoon at 3:30 at College- ville, Pa., closes a rugged schedule for the Colonel n e t m en. Two seniors finish their collegiate careers a g a i n s t the Bears this afternoon; they are Bill Savitsrky and George Ginader. The Colonel squad, with a 2-5 record, hopes to end the season on a winning note by dropping a powerful Ursinus squad from the win column.

The Ursinus club has a very good record for the season and is rated one of the better clubs in the Middle Atlantic Conference.

Over last weekend the - Colonels dropped two matches, both home and away. On Saturday the squad traveled to Carlisle and were defeated 9-0 by a superior Dickinson squad in a Conference match. This was the worst defeat of the year when set scores are compared with other matches. Only the sixth single match between the Colonels' Jim Hennighan and Dickinson's Chuck Rowe produced a close score.

Rowe won a tight 6-3, 6-4 match. The Wilkes numbers one oand two men, Ira Himmel and Bill Savitsky, suffered disastrous defeats at the hands of Dickinson's Kit Spahr and Art Duel; Spahr has been unde- feated in 31 dual meets over three years.

On Monday afternoon the visiting Rider squad defeated the Colonels in a non-conference match on the Wyoming Seminary courts, 5-0. The Colonel netmen made a better showing but were unable to win any matches. Bill Savitsky ex- tended his Rider opponent to the limit, but was unable to oulast the Rider number two man, Bill Alex- ander, and lost, 6-0, 5-7, 6-8.

The season as a whole was not a productive one, but the young net squad, only in its second year of competition, has shown great po- tentialities and can be expected to reach better heights in next year's competition.

Sporting a near-perfect record in Middle Atlantic Conference play, the Colonels host the Crusaders of Susquehanna U. tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m.. seeking their eighth Conference win and a shot at the loop's baseball crown. Ten games are required for eligibility for the title, Susquehanna will be the opposition for both the ninth and tenth Conference games foi the Reese men.

GOLFERS SEEK WIN

IN SEASON FINALE The greensm en are off to

Williamsport today with the inten- tion of evenino' up their season's golf record at 3-3 when they take on the Lycoming Warriors. To- day's host school was beaten at Irem Temple Country Club, 13-5, earlier in the month, and Coach Farrar's men hope to repeat the feat in this afternoon's season finale.

On Tuesday night, the Colonels were guests of the Scranton Royals at Fox Hill Country Club and lost to the Lackawanna collegians by a 131/e41/z score. Under extreme wind conditions against a highly experienced club, the squad showed improvement over their earlier loss to the Royals, but were unable to put the improvement on the score cards. In order of shooting: Bob Januszko, Art Belles, Ed Mikolai- tis, Pete Perog, Joe Hiznay and Pete McLaughlin represented the shifted lineup. Perog scored one point when he took the front nine. He parred five of the first nine, but then blew up. Milcolaitis took two points, on the front nine and total score. Perog and Mikolaitis were teamed and neither was able to hit one hole within 'par for the entire back nine because of the heavy winds.

Hiznay and McLaughlin took a point each, Hiznay on the back nine, McLaughlin on the front.

Lose Close One On Monday, the squad met the

rough and skilled Moravian Grey- hounds at Irem Temple Country Club and dropped a heart-breaker, 91/28½. Although each man on the squad figured in the scoring for the first time this season, it was not quite enough. Shooting order was Januszko, Perog, Belles, Mikolaitis, Hiznay, and McLaugh- lin.

The Colonels seemed to have the match sewn up at the end of the front nine, when four of the men were ahead of their opponents. On the back nine, however, the Grey- hounds came to life with booming drives to turn back the Colonels with a great comeback effort.

Scoring for Wilkes: Belles, 2½; McLaughlin, 2; Mikolaitis, 2; Ja- nuszko, 1; Perog, ½; and Hiznay, ½.

Only in its second year of existence, the golf team has met some of the East's toughest small college golf squads and has performed quite well. Under new head coach Welton Farrar, the men have shown steady and consistent improvement and look forward to a better year next season, with two campaigns now under their belts.

Playino his last game for Wilkes today will be Art Belles, who plans to finish his education at Penn State, Others on the team are expected to return next year and hope to get in plenty of practice over the summer in ordei' to whip into shape. Several are freshmen and the rest are s o p h o m o r e s and juniors, providing Farrar with hope for a continuing improvement and a possible winning club next year.

The Wilkes record over the season before yesterday's game was 8-4, three of the losses were to non- conference opponents. Fresh from their smashing 18-8 win over the Vikings of Upsala, the Colonels hope to repeat their hitting feats and tighten up the fielding in order to give the rough Crusaders a good battle in the remaining two games.

Reese may call upon southpaw Eddie Birnbaum to handle the' pitching chores in tomorrow's tilt. Birnbaum lost his last start at Dickinson, but with the hitting sup- port offered by the squad in its last two games, he should be able to hold off the vetei'an Susquehanna crew.

Crusaders Experienced Coach Richard S. Hummel boasts

a seven-man pitching staff, headed by junior Joe Barlow, 5-9 veteran letterman from Ashland. Last season, Barlow carried the whole staff and picked up additional ex- perience with summer ball in his home town. Freshman Dick Der- iick of Morristown, N.J., seems like a red-hot right-handed prospect.

Hummel had a total of eight lettermen returning for action this year, and has a well-balanced, experienced team ready to attempt to knock the Colonels out of con- tention for the Northern Division title.
