Updated Courses Vary Curriculum English and American History Are Different at Wilson This Year
Updated Courses Vary Curriculum English and American history are different at Wilson this year. The addition of one English course, the combining of two traditional courses and experimental classes in three other courses comprise this difference. Developmental reading is Wilson’s new class. Mr. H. Murray Schere, principal, did not learn until Sept. 30 that funds would permit the establishment of this non-credit, non-graded subject.

P a g e 6 The Beacon DecemWf Study of Charity Drive Totals Indicates Reasons for Decline By Virginia Dematatis and Howard Yourman Could the effects of today’s tight money situation be reaching annual charity drives at Wilson? While students have more spending money than ever before, they are also faced with continually rising expenditures. A recent survey indicates that for the past several years, collection totals for Jun ior Village and CARE have gradually dwindled. The 5,872 articles of clothing collected during this year’s Junior Village drive represent a decrease of 23% from the 1962 total. Only three years ago, twice as many toys were collected as during this year’s drive. The Junior Village drive received 1,337 cans of food this year, a decline of only .9% from the previous drive, but of 58% from 1963. Monetary contributions, which reached an all-time high of $1,449.73 three years ago, hit a low of $704.26 this time, a drop of over 50%. Proximity a Problem Alumni Return to Perform It would be difficult to single out any one reason for this declining trend, but a major fac Schumann Work in Concert tor seems to be the proximity Alumnus James Sinclair, ’65, class with conducting the band of the drives, which are all pro will return Friday to conduct and playing the trumpet.

363-6563 February 24, 1967 The Beacon Page 5 Your-Man on Wilson — NCAA-AAU Feud Imperils Athletics
- by Howard
The continuing feud between the long-established Amateur Ath letic Union and the upstart National Collegiate Athletic Association again illustrates how one of the major factors influencing profes sional sports has begun to corrupt college athletics. The crux of the current conflict is, essentially, that interna tional rules provide for only one governing body in each nation. They further stipulate that this body must sanction all meets in which foreign students participate. For almost 80 years, the AAU has been the supreme authority in American amateur athletics and has received solid support from all track and field federations. A few years ago, lured by the seemingly endless flow of tele vision money, the NCAA began to promote "outlaw” meets, without seeking AAU sanctions. Among the ensuing reprecussions was that American participation in the 1964 Olympics was endangered. This led President John F. Kennedy to establish a panel to mediate the dispute. Fighting temporarily ceased, but resumed again immediately S /4 Photo by Schulman following the Olympic Games. in Southwest’s Washington Channel, the Estre The action recently taken by the AAU in suspending from fur ANCHORS AWEIGH! . . .

C. 20016 Thursday, March 23, 1967 Council Takes Steps To Supersede Code Wilson students have chosen to abolish the Honor Code. In its place the Student Council will make recommendations to the faculty on how to control cheating. Several suggestions already drawn up by the Honor Code committee include stricter proctoring of tests, having different tests for each period and a statement by each teacher on the consequences of cheating in his class. Center to Fill In regard to the scrapping of the code, Student Council advis er, Mrs. Margaret Kless, said, Summer Jobs "If we couldn’t get an effective student-enforced honor code then Wilsonites, under the guidance there is certainly no sense in of parent Mrs. Wallace Luchs, having one.” Jr., are developing a Youth Em ployment Information Center for Dress Code Drafted Photo by Schulman summer jobs.
