It is a place to be in love with a student, laugh- ing with others and to be lost: physically, mentally, spiritually. In short, Wilkes Col- lege is a place for living. But Wilkes is also a school which looks back on almost a half a century of history and tradition, a school which prides itself upon ingenuity, l'hell raising, academic excellence and even daring. Its very name conjures up visions of blue and gold, wrestling, bio-pre-med and calcula- tors. In fact, Wilkes College is tat least to its studentsi somewhat of a legend. So how does one accurately portray Wilkes College student life in the year 1978-1979? If one talks only of the leg- end. he may speak merely in cliches, arriving at a picture of an institution that no student would consider quite sincere. But if one emphasizes only the individual, he not only attempts a task far too com- plex, but he loses some of the unique- ness of Wilkes College as a whole. One must show both sides, for each student represents one of those differentials of individuality that makes Wilkes what it is just as Wilkes represents one of those dif- ferentials of experience that make a stu- dent's life what it will be. Wilkes College is life and legend - the pointlessness or the price of a time - honored tradition; the sorrow or the magic of an ordinary day. Study: The Long Lonely Struggle One can surround himself with a crowd at a football game, wrestling match, a party, or even in the library for one of those last minute cram sessions, but when he comes right down to ttthe moment of truth tan examt, he finds him- self utterly alone. He may claim that ttknowiedge is the only important thing - and a few rare, fortunate people can truly feel this way - but if he is like most, he knows that basically he wants to be on the sweet part of that grade curve tpass- ingl In the dog-eat-dog world of Wilkes College, a student's struggle for aca- demic survival depends greatly on the isolated individual. Thus one can recognize two reasons for the vast amount of study that charac- terizes the Wilkes Campus; first, the stu- dent wishes to learn; secondly, the stu- dent wishes to succeed. The two can occur simultaneously, but need not. Indeed, one often has difficulty determin- ing whether ego or dedication drives a man. In either case or in both, the lonely hours with books and thoughts are mostly dreaded, but it is in these hours that the great constellations were charted, the great novels were written and the great schools were given the formulations of their worth. n u S S Q .m In ing Brings Ra Summer Br Spr . and then comes the fall, and one revels in the dry leafy wind and wonders how any other season could seem beauti- ful in comparison. Perhaps it is then that a college seems most a college, with the growing excitement of the upcoming football game, the feeling that a new year means a clean slate, and the knowledge that the possibilities between Labor Day and Christmas are unlimited. New fresh- men carefully decorate their rooms with posters; the dorms are out in full strength hazing the new comers and cherishinq frosty cold kegs; intramurals casualties limp up and down the endless stairs; sweaters and hot chocolate are counted among the luxuries of life; evenings assume an unusual quiet quality. Even through all this, however, Wilkes is still Wilkes, and the leaves must wait for the labs. Students re-align themselves to suit the academic grind and place their immediate trust in heaven above and their Texas Instruments. The hysteria of work mounts by the week. Nevertheless, if one takes a moment to look tand these moments are always therei, he will find that the sky achieves its deepest blue in autumn, and that ivy really has over grown the brick. 23 Dorms Exhibit Variety Of Lifestyles, Room Designs, And Survival Techniques Dormitory life is, like everything else, different things to different people. Opin- ions of its quality vary depending on whether you are the person who decided to chuck that old M-80 down the hall in a sudden mischievous impulse, or whether you are the person who is awakened at three in the morning after having a night- mare about a firing squad. Other influen- tial factors for attitude formation are loca- tion of the dormitory, structural sound- ness of the dormitory, compatability with fellow residence, compatability with roommate, and above all there it comest compatability with rodents and roaches. Each Wilkes dormitory has its own style and differences become even more pronounced when one considers woments dorms, men's outside dorms and New Men's dorm. New Men's tor Pickering Halo is the most modern hous- ing on the campus and is preferred by some students - mostly those who enjoy quiet and stale air. The women's dorms are probably the best of both worlds, old style buildings with the modern approach. And then there are the ments outside dorms. These are a true test of survival away from home; yvith their old steam radiators, ancient plumbing and astounding arrays of electrical mayhem. Outside men's dorms engenders a feeling of pride and hardiness in its residents for having made it so far. Two of the best examples of this pioneer spirit can be found in Denison and Slocum Halls. The statement often pops up that dor- mitory life is ttpart of the total learning experience, and this is certainly indis- putable. Through Wilkes College dormito- ries, one can learn: t0 How architecture progressed from the Neolithic stage to the present; Qt How to make living space work to maximum efficiency; m How much new technical advances are needed; and t0 How much better home is than you had previously thought. 25 ies Compete Hobb r O F S .m d U t S h ...H W ime T Students Hobbies at Wilkes College fall into two basic categories: weekday distractions and weekend destructions, and every school day is a never ending study of how to avoid studying. Some Wilkes students spend their spare hour or two tor three or fouo playing pool, football, cards, darts or a variety of stimulating games. Others spend their days reading science fiction, picking guitars, or looking at their favorite magazines. Still others spend their time working up a good sweat. Weekends usually call for something a little more planned out, a little more elab- orate. The energetic students fill their weekends skiing, repeling, camping or similar activities. The majority, however, concentrate on killing a few brain cells. Some enhance their drinking and party- ing pleasures with dates, others find a few friends, and still others sadly bow over a lonely glass. For better or for worse, everyone has his hobby; his non.- technical interests which broaden his intellectual horizons, enrich his personal depth, but most of all, protect his mental health: Not All Weekends Are Fun And Games 28 It's amazing how many Wilkes stu- dents spend their whole week wishing it was Friday e and when Friday, comes, they can't think of anything to do with the weekend. They have two whole days of no classes and no way to spend all that free time. Some stu- dents play catch up e they either catch up on their sleep or their study- ing. Others take in the CPA. flick and then stay up all night watching the late late shows on Channel 11 or 44. Nurds visit the library to count the books; health fanatics take walks through beautiful downtown Wilkes-Barre. Many dorm residents sit around for hours contemplating places to eat within walking distance. Some over- rule their lazy instincts and walk to Center lounge to hang out or read the bulletin boards. If it's raining twhich it usually isl, some people just sit by their windows and day dream while pretending to study theories behind falling rain. Of course. when all else fails, the bored weekender can resort to the last resort - he can call home and tell Mom and Dad what a great time he's having! . WIRE? ' 3:1 mm hvwrlmvrx 29 Winter Blues hltst e go: 9 ofie nature that brings you back to tak measure of yourself each winter. Q w ' Dave Taylo ? f A 30 In the winter 8 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 10 o'clock classes are impossible goals to reach when con- sidered between warm blankets. The dorm win- dows are steamed up; the hot water in the show- ers is gone; the River Commons is a whistling wind tunnel. The commuter breathes a cloudy sigh of relief when his car cranks, only to hear it chug to a stop while he is scraping the frost off his windshield. Wilkes-Barre's climatic trademark e snow, ice, and rain - covers and soaks the soil and people, falling not in quick, dramatic storms as in the summer, but in a slow cold drizzle. Students arrive in class with the blush of cold across their cheeks and noses, and unbundle, grateful of the classroom's warmth. The profes- sor sits up front and waits for all to assemble. wondering how badly sickness and laziness will take their toll in attendance. He knows that his first words will put everyone to sleep. including himself. Students exchange their greetings, stand their umbrellas up against a desk, and yawn in anticipation. But class goes rather well. Nobody feels the temptation to run outside and roll in the grass, and since it has snowed and rained for the past three days. a majority of the class has its home- work done. The hour passes quickly and almost painlessly, and the student looks forward to something hot for lunch and a good book tnot chemistry; Clouds move low and fast over the sky, startlingly dark and beautiful, and campus optimists decide that maybe spring break isn't so far off after all. The Commut m er: The Wilkes College commuter is for all practical purposes indistinguishable from the dormitory resident, except for the far away look in his eyes twhich comes from his daily search for a parking placel, his obviously close relationship with his auto- mobile, and his refusal to get sentimental about home like everyone else. He also generally tends to have a welI-fed appearance, a Valley accent and a streak of ruthlessness born on the downtown streets. In addition to his mastery of technol- ogy, he is well acquainted with the roads of Wilkes-Barre, the current price of gas- oline and with every characteristic man- nerism of his favorite disc jockey. He has learned how to eat. sleep, and study in his car, and he is almost on the verge of learning how to drive it. He appreciates the comfort and secu- rity of home, regrets the events he misses on campus, and abhors every minute he spends on the roads. Taken all together, the Wilkes College commuter is quite a person, not because he is a commuter. but because he, like the dorm resident. is from Wilkes College. LabszLong Hours For Few Credits Labs are many things to many people. They are cold winter afternoons and long tedious hours in Stark Learning Center. Labs are the cause of that insidious last letter in course descriptions: Chemistry 202 A-Z. Every student at Wilkes is sub- jected to mne sort or anotheo labs, some fascinating, others considerably more mundane. Whatever their content, loca- tion or interest level, everyone has labs, and sooner or later, learns to form a peaceful coexistence with these practi- cal learning experiences . Studying: A Prerequisite For Life At Wilkes i If the average Wilkes student we given a choice between three hours of a most excruciating physical torture or twenty minutes of intensive study, he might just pull a coin out of his pocket at he has a coim and flip it. Nevertheless, day after day. semester after semester, the libraries and dorms are full of serious people pouring over dry. thick texts. A handful of them really like the material and some simply want to be on top of the subject for a coming lecture. The major- ity. however. are in desperate fear of tomorrow's quiz. These poor wretches experience an ordeal of worry and work. and sometimes they cannot believe that they have spent so much money to suffer so much. But, as they know, most worthy goals are attained only at great sacrifice, and a degree from Wilkes is just another one of them. . 'VIrH'UV' 'U'UYIPHIIQNV uVEq 9 5' Poets have traditionally lauded spring time enthusiastically, but to follow their example would probably make many stu- dents slightly ill or very sleepy. Even the most prosaic of engineers, however. will admit that the waxing strength of the sun, the blooming branches of trees, and the decreasing clothing of the coeds have certain effects on mind and body, all of which can be explained scientifically. Without a doubt, spring is the time when studying is a matter of sheer willpower and when grades can easily nosedive. Who can say 'No , to the sounds of laughter and music, who can feel the warmth of night and breathe the soft fra- grance of lilac and not yield to it? Only the strongest. Wilkesl Sex Life Ten years ago if someone had asked the average Wilkes male what were the three most important facts to know about women, he would probably have answered, ttWhich things hook, which things button, and which things snap. Today, with more modern American atti- tudes and the increasing influence of the womenis movement, if the Wilkes male were asked this question, he would prob- ably give the exact same answer as his predecessor. Some things just don't change. But others do. Wilkes has now become truly coeducational. When we looked back just ten years ago and saw the obso- lete visitation policies tno men allowed in womenls dorms at all and noon till mid- night visitation in the loungesi which were thus revised about five years back to that which we have today tnoon till two in all dorms except those with short sighted R.A.'si. Well, another five years is up and it seems that another revision is due t24 hour visitationl. Since this year the administration deemed it necessary to ban parties to the Commons and S.U.B., the chances to socialize were cut considerably till almost nonexistent. But never fear, for in the true Wilkes spirit twhich went out to lunch in 1970 and never returnedi the students of Wilkes rallied and managed to find a few relationships growing on campus. Library love affairs flourished to such a great extent that the president had the lighting cut to the bare minimum ttoo low for reading anyway; Another type of romance seen this year was the lunch and love romances which were prevalent in both the Commons and the Cafe. Although the administration tried to sti- fle love this year, a student revolt brought out many new couples and many mean- ingful relationships. m m m, m m h 3 $3 1 42 Someone once said, 'tSomething in the night makes you want to go out in it, which is a well known fact. But probably an even more true statement is Some- thing in you makes you want to go out in the night. It presses from within all dur- ing the week and becomes unbearable on weekends, and makes the students feel that every hour he spends in the dorm is wasted, never to be recovered. It demands that he search the papers and the streets for that elusive entity, ttfun; it requires exorbitant expenditures or extensive drinking. Even when one makes sacrifices and plays by its rules, it often still leaves one feeling that he really hasn't enjoyed it much. Probably the best way to handle parties and night life is to take them as they come, and in moderate doses. Good times also tend to come from within, with- out warning, and most attempts to pro- duce them by force are futile. However, in those rare moments when they are pres- ent, one realizes that a cold beer, a warm friend and a soft song are just a few of those things which make college life and life itself worth going through. Is There Life After Dark? Hay Figqt with RedEye - f . 1.5 r a! $33.3? Coffee, Cramming, Cursing: Corequisites For Final Exams. To the student who has struggled through fifteen torturous weeks of eight o'clock classes, late night lab report writ- ing and persistent testing, nothing he could imagine would seem worse. He thought. The semester's devastating finale, exam week, yet remains as a bar- rier before the glorious day of Christmas break or years end. 7 Following all too quickly on that last week of class when no teachers are sup- posed to give tests but most somehow manage to, the week captures students weary and unprepared. Those five chap- ters of econ which somehow never got read must suddenly be memorized before eight the next morning; that theory in physics which has defied hours of endeavor must speedily be understood. In desperation, students evoke a muse of studying, or perhaps just brew a pot of coffee, to guide them through long nights, but only sleep calls. In every cor- ner of the library a tired head has col- lapsed over a notebook of material that never will be learned in time. The exams themselves have been com- pared to torture every time. For three hours a student functions, as a computer grinding out all the material it knows. Somehow, that knowledge is never enough. Exhausted and frustrated, one must leave only to start cramming for the nextexam. But exam week also comes when, in the spring, the weather suddenly breaks out of the continuous winter rain. The desire of study is lost. But still, students can be found outside, cramming, but enjoying the spring sun and dreaming of summer vacation or graduation. ll, 'aw' mg 46 mm Wilkes Gets The Last Word wan-wvnu nut - a ' - .4; . u The anguish and anxiety mounts as the student climbs the steps. It has been three days since that dreadful exam and now, supposedly, the grades are posted. At last, he reaches the correct floor and sees those little strips of paper which bear his student number and his hopes hanging, waiting in the dim light. The pro- fessor had been so infamous that his nickname ranked with those of HBoston Strangler and Son of Sam, and strug- gle though he did the student could never slide down the right side of the meager ten point curve on that manis tests. So much ended up depending on the final, but as the saying goes, it was a shaft. Slowly, the student approaches the appropriate door where the grade lists are taped. Desperately, he looks for a last good omen, any omen, before glancing up. No penny heads up, no lost dollar bill can be seen; courage alone must suffice. The grades are up; every 0 catches the -ye as he searches for his number. It's here, stuck between two more O's. The halls reverberate with an echoing til PASSSSSED! While dishearteningly, one door down, a pre-med student can be heard complaining wow, that bastard only gave me a 3.0. 48 Looking back, I remember - Cheering at football games, surrounded By splendid colors of fall Sitting in classrooms, waiting the bell The gloom of Mondays and the exhilaration of Fridays The clamour in the cafeteria The laughter of friends and idle of gossip Running through the regimented halls. Looking ahead, I see The sun rising everyday Grad school and jobs, marriage and children Surpassing obstacles with the last ounce of energy Daydreams of reality Finding mysteries under every unturned rock Accomplishments and responsibility. Looking back, I remember Snow falling on the front lawn My favorite professor Hazing with the freshmen S.U.B. parties and the disco beat All the people trying to move their feet Pulling all nighters for final exams. Looking back, I remember - Dreaming of foreign lands and places Working hard and wondering if it's all worthwhile Growing up, little by little Breaking the age old mold of conformity Being lonely and lost Struggling along looking for answers to questions ldidn t know how to ask. Looking ahead, I see - A multitude of new experiences Becoming the best I can Staying true to myself Gaining direction to my Life Making new friends And treasuring the old. Looking ahead, I see - Clouds of uncertainty in the distance Wondering what life is all about Being hurt and mending again An ever ending road to travel Most of all looking back, I remember Looking Ahead MVA 10 . x0 84 NH .w WW.

Until this year I had no idea what exactly the job entailed. With the help of my friends and the excellent staff this year, we pulled through with some great ideas, new approaches, and at the same time had a great time. I would like to thank the following people: Art Hoover forebeing there when we needed him and getting us out of a large financial bind, and also for sticking up for us even when we were wrong. Nigel Gray - even though I had to wake you up for every club picture; you were a fantastic and irreplacable photographer. I don't know how I would have made it without you. When everything would go wrong you would hear Mary yelling Nigel . . . l! Lisa Ashbaugh - Every student organization has one person that is irreplacable and Lisa fits this category. You could always count on Lisa; if something had to be done Lisa would have it finished two weeks before we had even thought of the idea. She proved to be an asset to the Amnicola this year. Thanks again, Lisa, for everything. ' Karen Polomski - Thanks for identifying all those mug shots of the faculty; weill miss you next yean Ilene Tinkleman - Ilene had some great ideas this year, despite all the problems she had with Vince. Irene, I mean Ilene, thanks again for doing the Who's Who section. Steve Bailey - Thanks for staying to the very end and helping to finish the book. Sorry about mak- ing you do the caf, commons and library layout and not even using them. Steve, you definitely kept the spirit up when the going got rough. Maggie BunneII - Thank you for doing the dorm section as well as some of your great ideas. Donna Whitmore - Thank you for doing the senior section; your layouts and ideas were very ben- eficial. Thanks again. Danny House -- for designing the 1979 Amnicola cover. I would also like to thank Gayle, Sue, Pez, and Meghan for their help throughout the year. I have enjoyed working on the 1979 Amnicola. A yearbookls main purpose is to portray the events which are to be a part of your past experiences at Wilkes College. I hope that we, the Amnicola staff, have preserved these memories for you. Good luck to the Class of 1979. 'Mary Giblin Editor
