chairman of the
Christopher
Division of Graduate Studies.
Wilkes College recently
announced plans to offer two new
graduate degrees, the Master of
Science in Electrical Engineering
and the Master of Science in Engi-
neering and Applied Sciences.
Wilkes President Christopher N.
Breiseth made the announcement to
some 100 regional industry leaders
and technological and scientific fac-
ulty gathered for the College’s
second annual College and Industry
Technology Conference. He added
that formal application for approval
by the Pennsylvania Department of
Education had been made by letter
earlier this week.
In announcing plans for the two
Master of Science degrees in Engi-
neering, Wilkes is also fulfilling the
recommendation of the Middle
States Association of Colleges and
Schools. The latest evaluation team
representing the Commission on
Higher Education of the Middle
States Association recommended
that Wilkes develop a long-range
plan for its graduate programs
“emphasizing engineering and com-
(TO AGE 12)
puter science since equipment and
superior staff already exist.”
Dr. Umid R. Nejib, chairman of
the department, stated ‘‘Engineer-
ing students at Wilkes have at their
disposal highly sophisticated and
fully equipped laboratories already
equal to that of many universities.”
Breisith explained that in order to
enhance scientific and technological
education, the Engineering depart-
ment, the department of Physics,
and the department of Earth and
Environmental Sciences have been
formed into an interdisciplinary
adminstrative unit in which all
members of the faculty hold Ph.D.
degrees in their respective fields.
Dr. Mahmoud H. Fahmy, Director
of Wilkes Division of Graduate
Studies, stated, “These two Master
in Engineering degrees will aug-
ment the high quality graduate pro-
grams which are now being offered.
Interested students may get fur-
ther information by calling the Divi-
sion of Graduate Studies and Contin-
uing Education, 824-4651, ext. 226.

THE LAST GAME OF THE
SEASON was played on Tuesday,
March 19. The junior varsity and
varsity both lost. But the junior
varsity game was by far the most
exciting this year. St. Jude’s and
our team were tied and the game
went into overtime. During the next
two minutes the score kept rising
point by point till the Gators lost by
one point. After the game the
coaches argued and a technical was
called on St. Jude’s we got a foul
shot, which would tie the game. As
the ball was thrown, it hit the rim
and rolled around once and as
everyone watched it fell out and
didn’t go in the net. The game was
very interesting throughout and
some really good plays were made,
especially by Jack Jones who made
16 baskets during the game. =
