And like everyeditor, I am confronted by the question, "How should my finaleditorial sound? Sentimental? Dramatic? Optimistic? Pessimistic?Journalistic?"Perhaps a brief review of my life with hte Beacon will suffice.When I joined the Beacon staff as a freshman in 1948 Ifound myself a member of a genuinely motivated organizationof news hounds eager to write personal columns. The Beaconwas crammed with columns; anybody who was anybody hadhis own column; there were columns on music, literature, sports,and every other conceivable subject pertaining however reinotelyto campus life.Yes, four years ago the Beacon editor brought forth on thiscampus a new newspaper, conceived in feature articles anddedicated to the proposition that all reporters are created equal.That editor, deeply rooted in independence, here highly resolvedthat writers should have a new birth of freedom, and that journalismof the students, by the students and for the students shallnot perish from the side porch of Bane Hall.But soon the student body became engaged in a great civilwar, testing whether that paper, or any other paper, so conceivedand so dedicated to personal columns, could long endure.In time, thunderous waves of criticism inundated the mighty9' x 7' Beacon office, and then, on that historic day in January,Beacon editor Russ Williams proclaimed, "Fellow reporters, thecampus is revolting against columns. From this day forwardthere shall be no more personal columns, with the exception ofsports." And so it happened. From that day forward the Beaconcontained one sports column, the rest straight news.The following year I went to the editor, who was then VinceMacri, with a mad scheme: cabaret parties were among thehighlights of the Wilkes social calendar. The audiences at thoseaffairs roared at the antics of Skinny Ennis, Jerry Smith, SteveKrupinski, Bob Sanders, Joe Hirko, Howie Phillips, Paul Huff,Jack Feeney, A Streetcar Named Blake, and several other comedians.People seemed to relax at a cabaret party. Perhaps, Itold Vince, the comedy, although some called it by more uncomplimentaryterms, was the magical power that banished thosecollege blues that one so easily falls prey to under the influenceof term papers, exams and other by-products of the educationprocess. "Perhaps," I went on, "some comedy in the Beaconwould serve as a similar remedy."After weeks of argumentation I managed, near the end ofthe year, to get him to print corn of Culture Corner and MovieRevue varieties.And while we're on the subject of comedy, let's get onething straight: humor columns were not written in the Beaconfor the purpose of "lowering the paper's standards" or "to appealto moronic minds" as some individuals have expressed.As Marty Blake or Tom 'Homer Bones' Robbins, contemporaryBeacon humorists, will tell you, humor is not for idiots or morons.It is for all who have a sense of humor, those who see the comicalelement in everyday situations.Through the work of each member of the staff, the Beaconthis semester did its best to uphold its policy: to give full, unbiasedcoverage of all campus events, and to report all news ofinterest to the student body. I would like to express my sincerethanks to several people on the staff who were particularlyhelpful:James Foxlow, our faculty adviser, helped us to cover thenews of every Wilkes activity (Mr. Foxiow is also to be commendedfor his trust in the editorial staff; not once has Beaconcopy been subjected to any form of censorship), RomayneGromeiski, news editor, made sure assignments were postedearly; Gene Scrudato, feature editor, was always on the jobin addition to rewriting copy and reading proofs, he wrote thissemester's articles in the Meet The Faculty series, and assistedwith the countless, inevitable pre-press time problems, in additionto helping with the actual makeup of the paper.Praise is due also to business manager Art Hoover, circulalionmanager Joe Cherrie, and sports writers Paul Beers, LeeWIIZF COLLEGE BEACON Friday.

Mr. Joe Myers, George Cross, Wendell Clark, TerryTurrissini and Alice Green, of the library, assisted your editorin many an instance; and Bob Evans, Helen Scherif, Bob Crokerand Ed Grogan of the Amnicola, were often of service to theBeacon.The staff is grateful to Bert Stein and Cue 'n' Curtain forhelp on scenery for cabaret party floorshows. And my personalthanks to Ann Azat, Pete Margo, Bill Crowder, Pat Virtue, AddieElvis, Dale Warmouth, Helen Brown and Mr. Al Groh for tryingto make an actor out of me for "Hands Across The Sea". Andalong with my thanks to these wonderful people goes an apologyto Noel Coward for the mental anguish he would have sufferedhad he witnessed the "slightly revised" version of hissubtle masterpiece as re-penned by the Margo mob.Memories of the Cabaret Parties will never leave me. Howcould I ever forget the thrill I derived from being chosen to playa principle role in the heart-pounding historical drama "PaulRevide's Rear", or the part of a fearless sergeant in "Bottle-ground" (a story concerning a tavern owner who brings peopleinto contact with the spirit world), or the role as Stewart Gwainjerin the thunderous epic "King Solomon's Crimes". In -thatskit, in the role of piano star Carmen Cavall-Goldberg, I sang"My Wild Kosher Pickle", while playing straight man to an Africanboudini bird.The present semester saw Wilkes organizations in theirfinest form. Joe Reynolds did a magnificent job as President ofthe Student Council, the class presidents were tops; the IRC,Literary Society, Band, Education Society, Manuscript, Amnicola,Engineers Club, Biology Club, Pre-Med Club, Chem Club,Cue 'n' Curtain, Men's and Women's Dorms, Choral Club andTheta Delta Rho were more active than ever. And the DebatingSociety proved that Wilkes has top college material.It is with appreciation, gratitude, and regret that I write myfinal editorialappreciation for the opportunity to work with asincere student body and a helpful faculty, gratitude for treasuredfriendships, and regret that I must leave it all behind.BOOKS MISSING FROM WILKES LIBRARYWhittakerA Course of Modern Analysis;an Introduction to the GeneralTheory of Infinite Processes and ofAnalytical Functions, 1947BirkhoffBasic Geometry, 1941LieberNon-Euclidean Geometry; or,Three Moons in Mathesis, 1940RosselandTheoretical Astrophysics.1936ShapleyFlights from Chaos, 1930LieberThe Einstein Theory of Relativity,1945TolmanRelativity, Thermodynamicsand Cosmology, 1934laosTheoretical Physics, 1905PageIntroduction to Theoretical Physics,1935GamowTheory of Atomic Nucleus andNuclear Energy-Sources, 1949MottThe Theory of Atomic Collisions,1949RojonskyIntroductory QuantumMechanics, 1946DiracThe Principles of QuantumMechanics, 1947TolmanThe Principles of StatisticalMechanics, 1938SmithElectricol Measurements inTheory and Application, 1934MacGregor-Morris--Cathode Ray Oscillogrophy,1936Letters To The Editor - -May 14, 1952Mr. Chuck GlomanEditor, BeaconWilkes CollegeDear Sir:At this time I would like toexpress my thanks to the administration,faculty, and studentbody for the cooperation they havegiven to me and the members ofthe Student Council during ourtenure of office.I must admit that throughoutthe year the policies of -the Student -Council at various times have beenat odds with the administrationand the student body, but throughcooperation and a mutual understandingof the circumstances, wehave been able to satisfy the de-sires of the dissatisfied parties.I hope this cooperation will establisha precedent to -be used byfuture Council-s.Sincerely,Joe Reynolds7 Journalism StudentsMake Newspaper Staffsby Gordon YoungMrs. Gertrude Marvin Williams,Dean of Women, Assistant Professorof English and journalism instructorat Wilkes revealed thisweek that seven products of thecollege have established themselveson the staffs of variouspublications throughout the UnitedStates and in the Pacific war area.This announcement gives evidenceof the practicability of Wilkes'English courses.Andrew E.

Mr. Partridge came toWilkes in 1947 as a history professor.His duties now are: Directorof Activities, Director of PhysicalEducation, coach of both thesoccer and baseball teams.Mr. Partridge received his bachelor'sdegree from the Universityof Pennsylvania. This degree wasin history. He returned to thatsame institution to be granted hismaster's degree in education.Fraternities to which he belongedare Phi Sigma Kappa of whichhe was president, and Kappa PhiKappa, a national education fraternity.Mr. Partridge was also vicepresidentof the senior class, captainof the soccer team, member ofthe baseball team and the highesthonor of them all was a membershipin the Sphinx Senior HonorSociety.During the war, Mr. Partridgeserved in the U. S. Navy which heentered in 1941. In 1942 he wascommissioned an ensign. Servingon the U. S. S. Columbia, a lightcruiser, he participated in eightmajor campaigns, one of which wasthe Solomons campaign. He latertransferred to the U. S. S. Topeka,also a light cruiser. On the Topeka,Mr. Partridge participated in twomore campaigns, and saw duty atOkinawa and Japan.Speaking on his navy duty, hesaid, "Toward the end of the war,there was a time when I didn't seeland for 84 days. This was veryunusual as prior to this, we wouldput into port at least once a monthto replenish our supplies."He went on to say, "My greatestthrill came when we engaged theJapanese fleet off Bouganville islandin the battle of Empress AugustaBay; a battle we won eventhough outnumbered." Mr. Partridgewas discharged with the rankof lieutenant.Speaking on hygiene and physicaleducation, Mr. Partridge said,"Hygiene and physical educationare necessary to everyone. The twoshould be learned by everyonewhether attending college or not."Concerning the physical educationat Wilkes, he went on to say,"Our purpose in this course is toteach a few games which can beused even after college to keep inshape."Questioned about his first degree(BA in History) Mr. Partridge replied,"As far back as I can remember,I have always like history.I taught it when I first cameto Wilkes and I'm looking forwardto teaching it again this summer.""My interest in sports also goesback as far as I can remember. Ithink I can honestly say that I'veliked sports ever since I have beenold enough to lift a ball," he said."However, I can trace my interestin teaching back to my highing, "One of the nicest factorsabout Wilkes is that it is a smallcollege where the faculty can getto know the students well, even tothe point of knowing them by theirfirst names and not by a numberas I was known at Penn.One of the most important factorswe should take into considerationis that Wilkes College is agrowing institution and how itgrows depends a lot on us. Weshould meet this challenge with determination."Wilkes Male ChorusScores At AssemblyThe Wilkes Collegians scoredanother great success at the collegeassembly in the Jewish CommunityCenter yesterday morning.Performing under the skillful leadershipof Bill Crowder, freshmandirector, the boys went throughtheir nun4ber with professionalease and competence. Numbersranging from the dignified andpowerful "One World" anthem toth'e graceful, rhythmic love song,"Waters Ripple 'and Flow" werehandled with equal facility. Addingto the sparkle of the programwas the chorus' rendition of thepeppy n o v e 1 t y tune, "JohnnySchmoker", an adaptation from anold German folksong.The soloists in the programwere: William Foote, Dick Gribble,Anthony Safranco, and FlipJones. Proof of their excelent performanceswas the long applauseat the end of each of their numbers.The Collegians feel that the cordialreception given to their firsttwo public appearances warrantsthe continuance of an active malechorus at Wilkes. The boys thinkspecial credit is due to Bill Crowder,director, and Jake Kovalchek,president, for their efforts in establishinga permanent organization.BACHELOR OF SCIENCE INCOMMERCE AND FINANCEmentally you are just gettingnumb.

4 WILKES COLLEGE BEACON Friday, May, 16, 1952ZANYINTER VIEWSBy CHUCK GLOMANI was seated at the counter of one of the restaurants nearthe campus this morning, discussing the Cinderella candidateswith some of the Wilkesters, while listening to a record "Cry"by Johnny Ray, the Prince of Wails, when the waitress broughtour orders. We began drinking our coffee when suddenly oneof the fellows passed out.Realizing the brew in my cuphad a rather strange taste, I calledthe waitress, shouting disgustedly,"What do you call this stuff!""It's ei'bher tea or coffee," shereplied."Well, it tastes more like gasolineto me!"Then she smiled and said, "Ifit tastes like gasoline I can guaranteeit's coffee.""How?""Because our tea tastes likedishwater.""Where do you get that stuff,anyway?""We just got it fresh from thcountry.""What country?"I dashed out the door and headelfor the Beacon office, when ablue sw000sh, followed by a shoosh,immediately followed by a h000sh,followed by a dense cloud of smoketold me some type of vehicle hadjust roared passed.T!he shriek of a police whistlepierced the air as Ebenezer Flap-a a d d 1 e brought his strugglingModel T to an abrupt halt with ascreeeh of burning brakes, just 30feet from where I was standing."Must be out of gas," he muttered,climbing out of the smokingcontraption, lighting a match andsticking his head in the gas tank.When I regained consciousness,Ebenezer was dangling by hisWilkie button from the top of anearby telephone pole."Mr. Flapdangle," I called, asthe tattered form slid slowly downthe scorched pole.

With the release ofthis masterpiece he was sent toprison., which, of course, he calledby a more sophisticated, euphemisticname, not "prison" but"The Walled-Off Astoria."Then, in 1938, he astounded thescientific world with an amazinginvention - the baitless mousetrap."I designed it especially forpeople too poor to buy cheese," hesaid. And when asked how it works,he explained, "You just stand behindthe trap and make a noiselike a piece of cheese. You whis-per 'Swiss!

Friday, May 16, 1952 WILK COLLEGE BEACONJ. KropiewnickiNamed Captainof Baseball TeamLast week the members of thesquad elected Joe Kropiewnickicaptain of the 1952 baseball team.A stumpy, blond crew-cut, rockyfaced,hard-muscled ballplayer withan ostrich-like walk, Joe Kropiewnickihas been an active memberof the Wilkes nine the past threeyears. Joe is now a junior. By preferencea catcher, the 5-9, 175-lb.athlete has been a steady varsityperformer in the outfield and nowat shortstop. For the last two yearsdependable Joe Deschak held downthe backstopping duties, so .300-hitter Kropiewnicki went out intoright field. This year Joe had thereceiving chores all tied up, whenthe club developed infield difficulties.Rookie Joe WengynJoe, itseems, being the official dog-tag ofall Wilkes catchersgot behind thenlate and the stumpy one, Kropiewickiwith his perfect catcher-build,went out to shortstop.As a shortstop Kropiewnicki isno Marty Marion, lacking Marion'seasy grace. Kropiewnicki also lacksthe scoot in Rizzuto, the agility ofPee Wee Reese, and the range ofRoy Smalley. Kropiewnicki does,though, have the ears of EddieJoost. But Joe is a good infielder.After six games, the Colonels, witha man of experience at shortstop,were unable to get an infield doubleplay. Kropiewnicki opened his firstgame at the spot and racked off assmooth a DP as yoi. would everwant to see. Kroppie, known alsoas "Guadalcanal" to his closefriends, has a wonderful arm. As acatcher he excelled at pegging outcharacters who aimed to steal secondbase, Joe being better at thisthan any college backstop we'veseen yet. Now at shortstop Joeputs the good arm to use withthose long whips over to first base.Kropiewnicki is a good hitter,batting .318 last season His sharpbreaking,strong wrists permit himto hit the long ball occasionally.Joe is also a pretty good base runner,differing from many of hiscontemporaries in that he usuallyknows where he's going.A star footballer at Plains, Joehas forgone the sport in college,sticking only to baseball. He has aside job of working in the Gym,where he can be seen dressed insun tans, white sneaks, and aWilkes jersey, pushing a broomand giving smart answers to smartquestions.'IITUXEDO'S TO RENTSpecial Price To Students198 SO.

The team accounted for 16 hits,and were responsible for knocking out three opposing hurlers,with the aid of three round trippers.There were two successive homeruns in the fifth inning, the firstwas by Eddie Davis, followed bythat of Jim Moss. A single blastcame in the ninth inning, whenBatroney hit his second of theseason.The Colonels started off theirattack early, by getting off to atwo run lead in the first frame.Vince Leta was the victim of thehits, and was followed by companionchucker Bill Heilman inthe third but he did even worsethan the starter in allowing fiveruns in his stay, featuring thepair of seat smashers by Davis andMoss.Big southpaw Joe Sikora wasthe winning hurler, and the victorywas his first of the year. He allowedonly three hits throughoutthe game, but one was a fencebuster by first baseman GeorgeFortner. He had exceptional control,while allowing only one manto reach first base via a free pass.Sikora retired the first fifteen menin order.There were a few extra basehits, Chuck Anderson went threeBatroney Leads HittersWith Amazing Averageby Paul BeersAccording to figures releasedby the Dale Warmouth StatisticsBureau, second sacker Len Batroneyis currently leading theWilkes hitters with a sweet .485average. This is very sweet thumpingone might say, as the majorleague record is only .424 by RogersHornsby in 1926. Lenny hasbelted 17 basehits in 35 times atbat. He is tied in the home rundepartment with Jim Moss withtwo.Runner-up to Batroney in hittingis Captain Joe Kropiewnicki,ho is batting .373 with 14 hitsin 38 times at bat. Pitcher Battersonis hitting .333 as is rookieJim Ward. Newcomer Marsh Karesky,a desperation replacementat first base, has shown class witha nice .357 average, though Marshhas only been to bat 14 times. OutfielderChuck Anderson is swingingat a .280 pace, Eddie Davishas .263, Walt Chapko .238, andNorm Gates and Pitcher Joe Sikoraare hitting .230. Gates hasonly 6 hits, but one of them is ahomer. Third sacker Joe 'Trosko,supposedly a strong hitter, is doingonly .153, or 4 hits in 26 timesat bat. Catcher Joe Wengyn isright above the bottom of the varsitywith a .190 average. The verytail end of the batting parade isheld jointly by pitcher John MilEmanand Ed Wallison, a secondstrin.ger. The Big Cat, normallya good hitter, hasn't been able tobuy, beg, or steal, or even pleada hit in 16 times at bat. Wallisonhasn't done a thing in 3 chances.Like base hits, home runs havebeen scarce on this year's Wilkesnine. Batroney and Moss have two.Moss is a .181 hitter and Batroneya .425 one. Gates, Trosko, andDavis each have one. These three,along with Joe Kropiewriicki constitutethe Colonels' murders' row,a very humane one with only threehomers to its name.These figures do not include theHarpur game. The last EastStroudsburg game was a perfectGod-send to the batting averages.for six, with a long triple, and twobingles. Trosko and Davis alsocame through with doubles.Coach Bob Partridge has addedstrength to his infield by movingDavis from short to third, andbringing Joe Kropiewnicki frombehind the plate out to shortstop.Ace Wengyn has come in fromthe outfield, and is now holdingdown the catcher's spot. FreshmanMarsh Karesky looks good atfirst, and he also came throughwith two hits in four times at bat.The Colonels went to East Orangelast Friday, and were defeatedby Upsala College by a 2-0margin. We outhit .the home team,8-7, but were not able to capitalizeon the scoring opportunities. JohnMilliman was the victim of the defeat,,although he did not allowa hit until the fourth inning, whenthe Vikings scored their first run.Roy Hunt was the winner, and itwas his second victory over theteam in the last two years.Wilkes will be on the road thisweek. Saturday, we will play SusquehannaUniversity at Selinsgrove.Three Educators DiscussGovernment AssistanceTo Colleges, UniversitiesNew York, N.Y.-(I.P.)- Threetop-level American educators warn,in a report published by ColumbiaUniversity Press and sponsoredby the Commission on FinancingHigher Education, that theUnited States cannot model governmentassistance to educationafter the British system."Education enthusiasts, seekinggovernment support from suchfunds as the tideland oil royalties,will have to look somewhere besidesEngland to find an administrativesystem which would beworkable in this coutry," said Dr.John D. Millet, executive directorof the Commission which appointedPresident Harold W. Dodds ofPrinceton University, Dean LouisM. Hacker, head of the School ofGeneral Studies, Columbia University,and Professor LindsayRogers, also of Columbia, to surveythe British situation."Although these reports showthat the British gover4ment hasbecome the principal financial sup-port of the universities in theUnited Kingdom," Dr. Millet contiiiued,"they stress that the Briti1shmachinery works because theBritish have a parliamentary, notan independent executive - legislative,system of government. Moreover,British social tradition bringsa substantial number of top universitygraduates into the administrativeagencies of governmentas well as into the political parties."This creates an unusual respectand regard for the universities inthe government circles of GreatBritain. If such machinery wereset up here, it could not functionin the same way as the BritishCommittee because of our differentsystem of government and differentsocial tradition."The entire report, published as"Government Asistance to Universitiesin Great Britain," wasconducted under the direction ofthe Commission on FinancingHigher Education, a private agencysponsored by the Association ofAmerican Universities.The three outstanding educatorsappointed by the Commission stu-(lied the British situation indepenclently.All reached the same conclusiontheBritish have developeda unique system of governmentTHE VARSITY LIMPBy PAUL B. BEERSHAIL AND FAREWELL TO THE CLASS OF 1952Pretty soon the Seniors will be gone and forgotten. Folks thatgraduate like to think that they'll always be remembered, but memoriesare in the main pretty short. Maybe we'd better take time out andlook at the athletic achievement of he Class of 1952, as it was a goodclass with a fine bunch of athletes, and it generated a lot of fun.The football team loses Dick Scripp, John Strojny and Al Molosh.Here are three hardy souls that remember the lush days of '49 whenWilkes was a powerhouse. Scripp was the quiet sort of ballplayer, ahustler all the time but never making the headlines. Handsome JohnStrojny never quite got stardom because of injuries, but he was agood end. Molosh, well, everybody remembers Big Mo. Athlete of theYear two years in a row, Mo l:S one of Wilkes' all-time stars. His personalperformances in the King's games is dear to the hearts of allColonel fans.The victory-starved soccer team loses Captain Eddie Wallison, EdWheatley and Charlie Thomas. Wallison leaves his infamous record ofthree goals scored against his own team as a remembrance that "Walli-son was here". Wheatley leaves his pace-setting record for laps tosome other cross-country man. Thomas just leaves his snarl.The basketball team loses just one man, Bobby Benson. The alltimescorer with 783 points, Bob leaves a host of fans, as he was oneof the most popular and best athletes Wilkes ever had. You can't geta better man to replace Robert.Like the basketball team, the wrestling team loses just one man,Charlie Thomas. The Varsity Limp points with pride to the fact thatit never said anything nice about Captain Charlie, even though it gaveCaptain Charlie, as he loves to be called, plenty of copy. Thomaswrestled and snarled four years. He also played soccer. Even at thislate date The Varsity Limp refuses to break its policy. Good-byCharlie Thomas.The baseball team is young and somewhat inexperienced. It losesonly one man, Ed Wallison. Though confined to the bench, Wallisonentertained himself with pictures of big league stardom. That is whya smile could always be seen on Ed's face, even when the oppositionwas battering us to the ground.Ah yes, Class of 1952, when you go you take with you some finememories and some wonderful characters. You were an energeticclass and a class willing to add something to the school spirit. Outsideof Molosh you really didn't have an outstanding athlete, but youdid have a truly terrific bunch of fellows. We'll keep your doings inour scrapbook and someday pull it out to bring back "those good olddays".AN APOLOGYThe Varsity Limp has gone one complete year. The doggone thingdidn't miss one issue, you lucky people. In this one year the Limperhas tried to bring to you the doings and goings of the Wilkes sportingscene, the little sidekicks, and something about all the wonderful andunusual guys that go into making up the Wilkes sporting scene. Wehope that the Limper has been successful.And since this column deals strictly with only the best people, wehave often had to talk about ourselves. Now we knew you wouldn'tmind if we talked about ourselves, but we are kind of afraid that mayhe some of our little pet opinions might have hurt you. Dont let thembother you at all. Just because the Limper believes that college sportsshouldn't be over-emphasized; that rounding up football players oneway or another isn't exactly cricket; that a college newspaper shouldbe broadminded enough to print the defeats as well as the victories;and that the game of soccer far exceeds football, ping pong, or dartsshouldn't get you so shook-up that you rip up your Beacon and feelnasty for the rest of the day, In fact, if you tease the Limper alongfor a while you'll have more fun.And so now we thank you for your time, energy, and patience,Gentle Reader. We hope that this past year has been a good year foryou just like it has been for The Varisty Limp.didn't miss one issue, you lucky people.Lettermen ElectionsSlated For Next WeekAt a Letterman's meeting lastTuesday, the following people werenominated for offices:President: William Morgan, JakeKovalchek.Vice President: Joe Kropiewnieki,Cled Rowiands, Russ Picton,George Elias.Treasurer: Ed Gritsko.
