College Misericordia appears
to be well on its way toward a
new library as team captains
for the Golden Jubilee Cam-
paign reported over a quarter of
a million dollars raised in the
drive to date.
The report was filed by the
campaign volunteers last week
during the first general report
meeting for the drive. Adding
over $20,000 to the campaign
total at the day of the meeting,
the report indicated cash and
pledges toiling $271, 236.
The total'is expected to rise,
according to a campaign
spokesman, as additional re-
ports are received from team
captains not present at the
meeting. At the same time,
donations from alumnae con-
tinue to arrive at the college,
pushing the total higher nearly
every day.
The general report meeting
reflected donations received by
the campaign primarily from
sources outside the general
community, with the exception
of area financial institutions
support. Currently over 300 vol-

will report on local participa-
tion at the next general report
meeting scheduled for May 22.
Campaign general chairman
president of the United Penn
Bank, predicted that the next
report will reflect very signifi-
cant increases in campaign
totals as the immediate area
demonstrates its support of the
college.
The primary thrust of the
campaign is for the new library
needed by College Misericordia.
The new facility is expected to
cost nearly $2,000,000, and will
service the current student
dent bodies as the college
grows.
Additional funds in the cam-
paign are earmarked for
student financial aid and gener-
al academic endowment.
Paul Mazza, representing the
Commonwealth Telephone
(Company, attended last week’s
Dallas Township Board of
Supervisors meeting to outline
an Automatic Telephone Dialer
program recently made avail-
able to subscribers. Mr. Mazza
appeared at the meeting in ans-
wer lo a letter sent by the town-
ship solicitor Frank Townend,
which questioned whether the
company had contacted the
police regarding the security
warning system, and suggested
that a $50 fee be charged for
false alarms.
Mr. Mazza, following a talk
with Chief Carl Miers, suggest-
ed that. an annual fee be
charged each subscriber to the
ATD service which would cover
time incurred as a result of
false alarms. He also explained
that the system he represented
1s very sophisticated and will
ripped accidentally. Subscri-
bers will have to inform the
police that it is being installed
and will also have to have an
official approving signature
from the police. The township

supervisors and police will not
approve any warning systems
that are not reported. The tele-
phone company must also put a
coupler on the phone which will
be an added expense to the sub-
scriber. There are some sys-
tems already in the area, super-
visor Phillip Walter noted, and
he warned that they must be re-
ported lo the police. Board
members agreed to discuss the
matter and try to come up with
a solution so that police would
not be annoyed by false alarms.
Reese Finn, Kunkle, voiced
his objections to a trailer ille-
gally placed by Chuck Condon
on property owned by Mr.

written a letter to the supervi-

Solicitor Townend noted a re-
cent article he had read about a
Dallas Area Municipal Author-
ity meeting at which a question
was raised concerning adjust-
ment of a capped sewer or-
dinance by the township before
passage. Solicitor Townend said
that he could not see requiring a
developer to put in capped
sewers when their area would
not be reached by the sewer
system until 1995. The area
under consideration is Kunkle
and Demunds Corners. The
capped sewer ordinance was
prepared by DAMA for passage
Township saw fit to amend it
before passage. Solicitor Town-
end asked the supervisors what
they thought about their or-
dinance and they agreed to let it
stand as 1s:

Misericordia’s ‘Golden Jubilee
Class’, will receive degrees in
commencement ceremonies
scheduled to be held at the col-
lege at 2 o'clock Saturday after-
noon.
The class received the “‘Gol-
den Jubilee’ tag four years ago
during Freshman Investiture
ceremonies at the college when
Misericordia president Sister
Miriam Teresa, RSM, advised
the students that they would
graduate during the college’s
50th anniversary year.
The Commencement Con-
vocation has been scheduled for
the front lawn of campus but
will be transferred to the Irem
Temple auditorium in Wilkes-
Barre in the event of inclement
weather. The official an-
nouncement regarding the loca-
tion of the ceremony will be
made Saturday morning over
WARM Radio.
Guest speaker for this year is
Dr. Clarence C. Walton, pre-
sident of the Catholic University
of America. Degrees will be
presented by Sister Miriam
Teresa, RSM.
Graduation activities will
actually begin Thursday even-
ing at the college with the an-
nual senior-faculty awards din-
ner. During the affair, seniors
will be presented with awards
for outstanding scholarship in
theology, ‘history, literary
achievement, art, business edu-
cation, chemistry, and music.

During the hooding ceremony,
graduates will be presented
with the baccalaureate hoods

degrees.
This will be the first year that
the baccalaureate mass has
been combined with the hooding
ceremony. Usually, the mass
was held Sunday morning dur-
ing graduation weekend with
commencement ceremonies
following that afternoon. Cere-
monies were rescheduled ear-
lier this year when it appeared
that the energy crisis would
make Sunday travel difficult for
parents.
dians will receive baccal-
aureate degrees.
WCE Gives Plants
To Senior Citizens
The Wilkes Community Effort
of Wilkes College delivered 100
planters to the senior citizen
residents of the East End
Towers, Wilkes-Barre, 90
percent of whom were victims
of the 1972 flood.
WCE, a Wilkes College ser-
vice organization, is financed
by a grant from the Haas

The Senior Citizens donated a
portion of the funds needed for
the purchase of the flowers,
while WCE subsidized the
balance of the expense to cover
the purchase of the planters and
the preparation provided by a
regional nursery.
