This Friday, the Wilkes gym will be the scene of one of
the biggest events of the Wilkes social season. This affair is the
ALL COLLEGE DANCE, which is being sponsored by the Student Council. The affair had its origin a few years ago. and
started out in small fashion. Since then, however, it has grown
in perspective and now is anticipated not only by the student
body here at Wilkes but also by the many local students attending other institutions of higher learning.
Herbie Green and his orchestra,
well-known on the Wilkes campus
for really smooth, danceable music will hold forth from the bandstand on November 27, at the Student Council's annual All College
Dance. The orchestra is being furnished by the American Federation of Musicians, Local 140.
Ask anyone who attended a
Thanksgiving All College Dance in
the past years, and you're sure to
get an enthusiastic reply of "They
are the greatest!" Bill Crowder,
general chairman of the affair this
year, has been hard at work with
hs committees to make this dance
even bigger annd better than it
has been.
There will be no admission

(and drinks, of course) are free,

Lettermen's Club and the Biology
Club were tied for 1952 blood drive
honors. They both had over 100
percent. It is possible to have over
100 percent because each club may
recruit outide students to add to
that respective club's quota.
Although the Korean emergency
is over for the present, the need for
blood is greater than ever. Blood
is needed by local hospitals and
also for the making Gamma Globulin. It was this Gamma Globulin
which immunized many children
from dreaded polio last summer.
Also, blood is needed for plasma
which can be stored and used in
case of an atomic attack on our
cities.

Sophs' Hard Work Pays Off
Elsewhere in this issue, there is a story on the sophomore
dance held last November 13. The story is well written. Since
its author is a sophomore, modesty prevented some important
facts from coming to light.
For example, all of the hard work which went into the dance
was not mentioned. Each of the committees did its utmost in
support of the affair. The ticket, publicity, entertainment and
various other committees were superb.
Hence, the dance was a success.
All this is brought out as a reminder to all the other organizations which plan dances, affairs, etc., etc.

The real test of the Eisenhower Administration will come in 1954,

Science department, at assembly Tuesday.
Dr. Mailey explained to the audience that there are some 85 contestable seats in the House, of which the Republicans now have 45,
while the Democrats have 40. It is around these 85 seats that the big
fight in '54 will center, for the Senate s fairly secure to all appearances,

Locks, Lockers and Baskets
Here is the system used at Wilkes College for the dispensing of
locks, baskets and lockers.
First, let it be known that there is NOT a locker for every male
student at the college, but that there is a basket. Each basket has
a lock on it. The basket number, combination to the lock, and serial
number of the lock are all on record in the gym office. Each man at
the college who wants to work out, and particularly all men in the
freshman and sophomore classes are assigned a basket. This basket,
is kept through the four years. In this basket, men are to keep their
gym clothes.
Upon coating into the gym for a class or a workout, the basket can
be transferred to a locker. The lock previously used to lock the basket
to the rack in the basket room, can be used to lock street clothes, books
and valuables in the locker while the student is in the gym. The basket
should also be locked in the locker. Upon leaving the gym, the basket
is to be returned to the proper rack and locked. The locker is to be
emptied.
This system demands the cooperation of all. Leaving baskets hi
lockers, and taking possession of the locker by an individual is a selfish
act. Such an individual will find the locker empty. His basket and gym
clothes will be commandeered temporarily. This will constitute an inconvenience both to the individual and to the personnel at the gym.
During the basketball and wrestling season, fifty lockers will he set
aide to take care of the needs of both squads. These lockers will be
assigned and may be used by active squad memhei-s only. Dead heads
will be asked to vacate at the first indication that "dead-headism" is
developing.
The Department of Physical Education asks you to cooperate in
this matter.

CUE 'N' CURTAIN PLAYERS-- In
All Players Excell In Roles,
Audience Moved By Performance
By MARGE LUTY
Intent audiences last Friday and Saturday nights found, it
difficult to sway their attention from the stage upon which Cue
'n' Curtain performers lived for the moment the lives of characters both strange and familiar to them. "The Master Builder,"
by Henrik Ibsen, was in reality a play of uncertainty and insecurity, and the audience, perhaps echoing its own uncertainty and insecurity, responded with concern over the outcome of
the play.
would not be noticed, she might
have been tempted to relax and enjoy the scene.
The part of Old Brovik was taken by Peter Margo, who in past
years has always given very fine
performances. Although Pete was
quite dramatic in his short scene
as the dying architect, an impression was left that the scene was
pes'haps a trifle too dramatic.
It may be that the earliness of
the scene in the play contributed
to this impression, for the play atmosphere had not yet worked up
to a tenseness which would provide
the sight emotional bac'kground for
as developed a tone as Brovik displayed. Then, too, the extreme
brevity of Brovik's appearance did
not allow very much opportunity
for the audience to grasp the character.
Dr. Herdel, played by a newcomer to Wilkes theatre, Donald
Kaye, struck this reporter as a
slightly wavery character. The
good Doctor, who should have been
the only solid and secure ndividual
in the play, instead cast doubts about whether he was actually a
weak person or was only uncertain
befos'e the Master Builder. It is
our opinion, however, that Don
Kaye will be an interesting person
to watch if his next role offer's a
little more for him to base character development on.
Kenneth Hitchner, as the young,
uncertain architect, was a little
colorless in the first act, but later
on in the play his performance
gained assurance and he gave what
may be one of the best representations of reserved bitterness seen
in Wilkes drama for years.
Kenny has a very nice speaking
voice, which is a real asset to an
actor; it may be that he also possesses the sensitivity to emotions
which s the greatest asset to an
actor. As with the other young performers in "The Master Builder,"
time will show what he is capable
Although some members of the lesser figure but he early lassoed
audience, accustomed as they are his audience and held it fascinated
to lighter fare from movies and while he showed it the workings of

Although ths was Nick's first apbit deep, they nevertheless felt an
intense interest in how the play pearance on the Wilkes stage, he

JORDAN
We eongs'atulate them; our squad did not succumb easily in either
game. The plan called for two final victories; however, our great system of competitive games offers equal opportunities but only one winner', and that prize was denied us in our' last two attempts.
Front a won and lost standpoint we have had
a losing season. But is the record the great
prize in intercollegiate football?
Before the season began it was thought that this
would be a difficult year. We were confident of our
line from tackle to tackle, but at the ends and in
the backfield, we held grave doubts - especially in
the backfield. In the outcome the prediction was
accurate - but with an exception; our ends came
through splendidly, as a matter of fact they were
brilliant.
'The backs were inexperenced, plagued by injuries,
and moved from position to position so very often
that an individual back could never master one posiRalston
tion. in the backfield it was "touch and go" all
season.
Because of the sensitive balance in the 1953 squad (there was always the throat of a preponderant imbalance) our performance pulse
was uneven. Our squad was up arid down.
NOT READY FOR BLOOM
It was not ready for Bloomsburg. We just were not quite ready
for such a strong opener, and we knew it. Everyone thought we were
at ebb tide in losing to Lebanon Valley.
This was our poorest effort.
Our best games were \vth Hofstra, Ithaca, and Bs'idgeport. Although two of these games were lost, our team played well which was
a joy for those of us in charge. The Moi'avian game was a toss-up from
the beginning. It was our first half, but they won the second, and it was
a better half than the first.
Moravian had scouted us perfectly and it payed off. It
was a bitter pill to lose this one.
And so the record lists
3 won, 5 lost. This is surely recorded
for all time. It is a tangible result of the season. Had all the games
been won, it would carry the same tangible value.
But when we come to our sensible selves, is it really important
whether we won or lost? If we ask ourselves this question honestly, we
can find relief from the all too prevalent, emotionally savored desire
to win which is abroad today; and we will be back on the main road of
an intercollegiate athletic progs'am consistent with common sense and
with Wilkes College.
This is not to say that we are belittling winning or the will to win.
Our squad had an intense desis'e to win. What would America be without the will to win?
We merely mean that winning is not all important and
we must not let it run away with our common sense.
-
I'AYS HIGH TRIBUTE
It is my sincere desire to pay tribute to the football squad of 1953.
A group which at its height numbered forty-two, still claimed thirtyfour athletes at the final game. The record shows that those boys who
reported, stayed with the most demanding of team games, sacrificed
time and energy, tolerated adverse conditions, sustained the most severe
physical demands, and were cooperative with those chosen to instruct.
Some men were outstanding; many were steady; others because of
the rules of the game itself, accepted partially inactive rolls and participated little in the activity of the game.
Above all, every man was a loyal, spirited, vital member
of the squad. Every man played his part.
This was not our greatest squad talent-wise; but in my mind we
have never had a group more willing, loyal, and cooperative. Finally,
none of our squads has outdone the 1953 squad in sportsmanship. Of
this we are signally proud. The exemplary sportsmanship of our former
football squads s s'emembered throughout our sphere of competance.
UPHELD FINE REPUTATION
The squad of 1953 has upheld that fine reputation; it kept the flag
of ideolism flying high; it maintained the spirit of the rules and a
gentlemanly respect for the advisery whether the fight was going for
or against. For this, my heartfelt thanks and congratulations to the
squad of 1953.
Though more games were lost than won, we had a successful season. Our squad kept the victory which has been ours and which is far
more important than a won and lost record.
Each gentleman held high the shining lesson of sportsmanship; of, "Friendship Through Contest;" of loyalty,
shoulder to shoulder in the stands and on the teamloyalty
to our institution an ideal bigger and finer than ourselves, to
the whole high purpose of your college and mine.

SENIORS
In order to have all the scnior portraits taken before Christmas they
must he taken during this following week before October 31. They
will be taken in the Lazarus Photo Studio. The store hours are as follows: Monday-10 A.M. to 9 P.M.; Thursdays-12 noon to 9 P.M.; on
Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays the store hours are from 10 A.M.
to 5:30 P.M.
The cost to seniors will be a one dollar sitting fee. This will not be
subtracted from the price of any pictures ordered by the person as it
was last year. The reason . . In order to secure decent pictures that
will reproduce well, it is necessary to pay for them. Last year's pictures
were inexpensive but they were not good. I have worked under the
assumption that all seniors will want pictures they can be proud of.
There will be no pictures taken in cap and gown this year. This is
a matter of Yearbook policy . . . I do not believe that people want to
be remembered as something in a cap and gown that they wore for
only one day of their entire tenure at WC.
NOTICE: Seniors are urged to get to the Lazarus Photo Studio
(second floor) sometime during the next week (before October 31).
In order to get their senior portraits they must do this.
UNDERGRADUATES
Pictures of all undergraduates will be taken on Wednesday and

COLONELS FAIL IN ROLE OF DAVID, 39-20
IIOFSTRA POWERHOUSE RUINS 'UPSET' HOPES
By TOM KASKA
Coach George Ralston's football eleven last Saturday night failed
to portray the role of David, as it succumbed to a powerful Hofstra
grid Goliath, 39-20.
A surprisingly small crowd of 3,000 turned out for the nightcap of
Homecoming festivities to see the Hofstra powerhouse maneuver a
brilliant passing and running attack to a three TD victory margin.
The Wilkesmen, relatively lighter and less experienced than the invading Flying Dutchmen, battled gamely to halt the strong Hofstra
offense, but injuries to key players and a host of costly fumbles spelled
defeat.
Halfback Bill Sanford opened
the Hofstra scoring spree with an
80 yard punt return early in the
first period. He added another tally in the second, romping five
yards after grabbing a pitchout
from Quarterback Plunkett.
The Colonels roared back. Howie
Gross passed to End Paul Gronka
for 29 yards and a score. The Flying Dutchmen answered with another six-pointer
a pass from
Plunkett to End Coughlin
and
again the Colonels roared. Gross
passed to Gronka for 39, setting up

lost Andy Breznay for a greater
part of the game, and George Elias was also injured. Then Howie
Gross reinjured the shoulder of
his passing arm, and the Wilkesmen lost their aerial game. With
key men out of the lineup, the
Colonel defense was unable to cope
with the passing and pitchouts of
Pbunkett, while their offense could
not penetrate the heavy Dutch line.
Halfback Nuniata opened the
second half with an 80 yard touchdown gallop for Hofstra. Walt
Chapko led a Colonel drive to paydirt, making the score, 26-20. The
Dutchmen came back with two tallies in the final stanza to sew up
the game.
In the first meeting of the two
schools last year, Hofstra won a

REAL GONE GAME
The Blue and Gold gridmen were a part to one of the most thrilling
games in local football history Saturday night -- at least from the
standpoint of the fan. John Q. Fan saw a dazzler from the word go,
even though Wilkes lost a gruelling test to Hofstra, 39-20, most everyone agreed after it was all over, "Geez! What a ballgame!"
Though the Dutch backs were practically unstoppable, the Ralston
line played better than a pretty fair game. In fact many astute observers even some from the Hofstra bench, felt that the Colonel forward wall outplayed the visitors' line. You've got to hand it to the
boys up front. They were outweighed in many instances as much as
20-25 pounds per man. Brother, that ain't hay, when you're tossing it
at the guy in front of you.
Some serious mistakes, including untimely fumbles, cost Wilkes the
game, although, from the score you'd probably not believe it if you
hadn't seen the game. We'll say this. We've seen quite a few small
college football teams. Hofstra looked more to us like the Washington
Redskins or some other bruising bunch. Ever see a 210-pound halfback
before?
