The Crier Vol. 5, No. 10 CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE May 2, 1966 Pre-registration Tomorrow Group Meetings Today Crouch - Stafford Board Leaders Steve Crouch, newly elected president of the students at C.C.C., was interviewed recently by THE CRIER. Steve is a native of Cohocton, and is enrolled in the A.A.S./M.S. program at the college. He stated that his main ob-tective as the president is to rectify the apathy of the students on on campus. Steve says that he is going to try to create more interest in the activities of the student board. He proposes a brief review of the board meeting on Thursday in the cafeteria, during the lunch hour. When asked what he would do about the lack of dorms on campus, he said that the student board did not hold the power to press the administration, and all it can do is to make suggestions to remedy the situation. When asked what his views were on holding classes in the Commons, he said, “The Commons is the Student Center, and it should continue to be the one place where the students can go to relax. It would not be fair to the students in the classes because there would not be a quiet atmosphere in which to work, and it would not be right to ask the students using the Commons facilities to ‘tread softly’ during the times that the classes were being conducted.” He mentioned that the nominations for board elections were coming up in May, and he hopes the students will strive to put STEVE CROUCH their representative on the ticket and then support the board elections as well as they supported the presidental elections. Steve also commented on the administration taking over the study area in the basement of the classroom. He said the administration has been pressed for room to the extent that they have to use all available space. Because this area was not used for study but rather as an area where friends congregated and used the vending machines, the administration was justified in claiming this area. The vending machines were the main attraction of this space. They have been moved to the stairwell, so the students have not lost anything through the transaction. Selective Service Exam To Be Given May 14, 21, June 3 On March 24, the Selective Service System issued the criteria to be used in determining whether college students should receive draft deferments. The new guidelines are effective immediately, and copies will be sent to all local draft boards. The criteria are based on the student’s standing among the full-time male students in his class or his score on the Selective Service Qualification Test. The test, which is voluntary, will be given May 14, May 21, and June 3 at this college. For undergraduates, a score of 70 or more is needed to qaulify for the 2-S classification on the basis of the test. For graduate students, a score of at least 80 is required. The guidelines are advisory to local boards and do not automatically guarantee deferments for students meeting the requirements. In a recent interview with Dean Donald Beck, Dean Beck stated that the college is not making the examination compulsory for all male students; the choice is up to the individual student. He said, “If we expect the local boards to grant deferments, it is up to the students, and the college, to keep the draft boards informed as to the student’s rank-in-class. Mrs. Hanas, in the Registrar’s office, can provide rank-in-class information upon request. Failure to meet this obligation will result in the student’s being classified 1-A.” Although the draft boards differ from one to the other, no one pursing a degree program as yet has been stopped from con- Must File Application For College Financial Aid by June 15 Application for financial aid for summer 1966 and for the academic year 1966-67 to be filed by June 15, 1966. Now is the time to make your application for financial aid for the coming year. Application must be filed by June 15 to be considered for action for the fall. Decisions should be made and out by July 15, 1966. Types of aid available are as follows: NDEA LOANS: This money is made available as a loan by the Federal Government. The loan may be made for up to $1000 per year. There is no interest charged while you are in at least half time attendance at an approved institution of higher education. For those who go in-to teaching, one-tenth of the loan repayment is forgiven for each year you are in teaching and can be repeated for up to five years. NTA LOANS: This money is available only to NURSING students and operates very much the same as NDEA loans. Repayment is forgiven for work in Nursing in the same manner. EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY GRANT: This is a new form of aid set up by a recent act of the Federal Government. It may provide for from $200 to $800 per year which we must match with some other form of aid. This $200 to $800 is strictly grant with no strings attached. Those who are eligible will be from low income families ($4000 or less) or moderate income and large families, con tinuing his education. As the manpower need becomes greater, additional criteria such as the rank-in-class will become more important for determining the 2-S classification. Students attending the evening division will be reviewed individually according to their need for continuing their education. Students that have an incomplete will be considered automatically for the draft because they have no rank-in-class. The qualification test is similar of the College Boards; it is an aptitude test. Sample questions from the test will be placed in the Classroom and Science buildings; this may help the student in deciding whether to take the test. There will be no classes tomorrow except as announced by the individual instructors. All students who will be returning to the college in the fall are asked to make individual appointments with their advisors following group meetings being held today at 1 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. Pre-registration will insure the student a place in his courses. The student should choose the courses he wants to take or must take to complete his degree requirements before seeing his advisor. In order to register in courses not included in the student’s designated programs, he must get official approval before registering. The advisors will explain more about this procedure. Those who want to change programs must wait until after pre-registration. They can make the appropriate changes after May 9. The deadline for the other students for pre-registration is Friday, May 6. After that date, a $2 penalty will be imposed. WORKSTUDY PROGRAM: Part time campus employment will be available to those people who meet the financial requirements stated under the “Educational Opportunity Grant.” Students will be able to work 40 hours per week during the summer months and 15 hours per week during the school year. The pay is $1.30 per hour. SCHOLARSHIPS: There is a limited amount of money available for scholarships for the fall semester. This money is made available by local donors. The eligible students will have earned a cumulative average of at least 3.00. The awards will be made with an emphasis on need. Application forms for the above types of aid are available in the student personnel office. If you have any questions about the type of aid for which you are applying or how to go about filling out the application, make an appointment to see Mr. Steb-bins in the Student Personnel Office. It is very important that you meet with your advisor at today’s meeting. A list of the faculty advisor assignments is posted on the second floor of the classroom building. If there are any questions concerning faculty advisors, the students are asked to go to the Student Personnel Office immediately. Students should pre-register for summer courses at this time also. The summer class schedules are available from your faculty advisor. Included in the pre-registration materials will be a Housing Information Card. These questions appear on it and should be considered before completing the card: 1.Will you be living at home next year? 2. If you have made other plans for living accommodations for next year, what are they? 3. If you have not made plans, will you want to be sent housing information during the summer? Board Elections The 1966-67 Board of Directors will be elected May 13. All interested candidates should information from any of these people on the election Commission: Jaffer Kassimali, Jacque Stafford, Judy Gagne, Bill Dwyer, or Sandi Grybos. Mrs. Pulleyn, in the Commons, also has some petitions. Any freshman with a 2.0 average or better and who is carrying a full day schedule is qualified to run. Corning Hosts CISGA Regionals April 15 , 16 and 17 the College was host for the CISGA The college which were represented were Niagara, Erie, Alfred, Broome, and Monroe. The students who attended from Corning were Jack Richie, Bob Brown, Ken Bruyere, Lou Crain, Sheryl Sandler, Nancy McDonald, Nancy Crouse, Julie Shaffer, Judy Makowski, Bobbie Box, Jackie Ryan, and Sharon Gibbs. The “Ideal College” was discussed further, and many new ideas were derived. The theme of the conference was Freedom and Standards. The election of the Regional Vice President was held Sunday, April 17. The candidates were: Bob Brown, Corning; Linda Jordan, Erie; and James Bishop, It was a close race between our Bob and Erie’s Linda. After 3 votes, Linda Jordan was voted the Vice President for Region 4. CRIER Deadline To Be Posted Page 2 THE CRIER May 2, 1966 Board Elections, May 13 CRIER Urges More to Run for Office With Student Board elections coming up on May 13, this might be a good time for students to seriously consider running for these offices. Unfortunately, most students do not realize the full impact of working with the Student Government until they are actually participating. There has been much criticism about the Student Government this year. Last year there was no competition in the elections. The few that ran for office were “elected”, and only a very small percentage of students bothered to vote. Do you want a better student government next year? Now is your chance to do something about it. You have elected very capable executive officers, but they cannot make an efficient government alone. The next step is to work with them. Those students who are eligible should run for the Board. Those students who are not eligible, should support fellow students who are eligible. If you have been dissatisfed with conditions, this year’s Student Board, you can change it by participating in next year’s government. Don’t let this opportunity go by now and complain about it in the fall. Besides having a voice in your government, there are other things to be gained. There is a mistaken idea that colleges and employers are only interested in your academic record. Advisors and sophomores will tell you that your extra curricular activities are also important. Every application has a space for your extra curricular activities, and every prospective employer reads what is written there. When you take an active role in student government, it indicates that you have initiative and an interest in your environment. You gain a better knowledge of organization and a better understanding of rules and regulations. You naturally develop a deeper interest in your school. Some students even get better grades and manage their time better. There are other benefits to be gained, but each person will have to experience them for himself. If you have carried at least twelve semester hours each term this year and have maintained a 2.0 average or better, give some thought to contributing to your student government next year. Petitions can be obtained from Mrs. Pulleyn or from anyone on the Election Committee: Jaffer Kassimali, Jacque Stafford, Judy Gagne, Bill Dwyer, or Sandi Grybos. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Letters To The Editor The CRIER Tips Its Derby To: Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our new officers a happy and fruitful year. A year of unity and cooperation; for it is only through this media that anything can be done and done well. Having paid my respect to our officers, I would further like to make an appeal to the student body. It is easy to be grumbling and criticizing efforts of others behind curtains but this attitude does not really accomplish anything. As a matter of fact, it makes the matters worse. May I remind you that Student Government is your Government and you have every right to criticize it when it is fit to do so — by this I mean that when you are dissatisfied with it. But please come out from behind these curtains and speak your mind. How will you expect the Student Government to know its faults if everybody remains silent? Let us, then, not throw cynical remarks under cover but let us be bold enough to speak in the open so the victims of our criticisms may hear what the problems are and therefore try and do something about them. Thank you. LETTERS (continued) Letter to the Editor: Do you like money? If you do, do you keep track of where it goes? It seems to me that there are some people on this campus that like money, like to spend it, but keep little track of where it goes. There is a little matter of $800.00 that has been taken from the Commencement Ball fund to buy orchid lais for the girls for Spring Weekend. I think that it is fine that the money has been reallocated, but for flowers? The rest of the weekend hasn’t even been paid for yet; they are waiting for the student body to buy the rest of their tickets. I feel that buying flowers for a girl is a personal thing for the fellow, and a thrill for a girl to receive. The thrill is taken away by the flowers being handed out at the door like hand-bills, at a first come, first serve basis. I realize that the committee that is working very hard to make Spring Weekend a success, but is this the best way? Karen Crooks Dear Editor, There has been a lot of talk on this campus about fraternities. The executive board election was, in reality, a contest between fraternity and non-fraternity forces. With the nonfraternity candidates winning, it looks like the part of the student that took the trouble to vote are against such societies. I feel that the student body made the right choice. Although the fraternities have done a valuable iob on campus so far, it could degenerate and cause problems. For one thing, under different leadership in the years to come, the fraternity may become a group of people interested in nothing more than creating fun for the group. Often, when this happens, the fraternities cause nothing but trouble, giving a black eye to the college. This is why fraternities are outlawed on many campuses. The pro-fraternity forces have argued that the fraternity has made many valuable contributions to campus activities and to the breaking down of student apathy. Yet the very medium which claims to be decreasing apathy could create more of it. If the fraternity is willing to do the work on many campus functions. other groups will refuse to participate. Thus, eventually, the campus would be run by the fraternity, a small “in” group. Not being allowed to take part, the rest of the students on campus will become more apethetic, not less. Therefore, I feel that the dangers of the fraternity system far outweighs its advantages. The college should fully investigate before completely embracing fraternities on campus.

Rodger Scott, instructor of Spanish and English, served in the Peace Corps from 1963-in Colombia. He taught at National Women’s University in Bogota. During this time, Mr. Scott made many observations about the relationship of people in different cultures. He is including some of these observations in a book that he is currently writing. The book deals with American, Colombians and other foreigners who lived together in a sort of international community in Bogota. Mr. Scott has concluded that people should realize what other cultures are like and be able to adjust to living in them. For, however different cultures are, the people are basically alike. The book, the first written by Mr. Scott, is primarily fiction, but is based in part on La Dolce Vita May 12, 13 Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastrionni head the cast of the specatular movie, La Dolce Vita. This film will be shown on May 12th at 1:00 P.M. and on May 13th, at 8:15 P.M. in the Amphitheater. This film, according to its review, “dissects and lays open a whole swath of society, exposing the decay and tragedy of overcivilization.” A winner of the Cannes Film Festival Award, the Joseph Burstyn Award, and the New York Film Critics Award, this movie is a must for all to see. his experiences in the Peace Corp.

Ruth Overstrom, LA, Freshman It seems perfectly possible that people could be seeing unidentified flying objects, but seeing so many at once makes it unlikely that everyone sees a true UFO. I don’t think there is any cause for alarm — not as long as they keep flying. Keith Pulver, Sophomore According to the "experts” in the field “there ain’t no such animal.” I think personally that most UFO sightings can be explained quite logically. However, the most important thing is to consider the real UFO or flying saucer as they are called. Sue Feinstein, LA, Freshman The people in this world are just waiting for something fantastic to happen, and if and when it does occur, they want to be the first to identify it. Personally, I really can’t believe in unidentified flying objects. It’s like seeing a moon man in your bathtub. If something does develop, I guess I’ll be the first to laugh. Bob Leventovich, LA, Freshman To me it seems reasonable to believe that there are such things as people from another planet. I believe most of the UFO sightings made were actual sightings. What was seen and What was reported is what the fuss is about. Millie Marsden, LA, Freshman I think that there are UFO’s, and I think the Air Force should release the information it has. I realize the commotion this might cause. But I feel the American people should be informed. This would be fare better than having everyone calling everyone else crazy or having the general public confused. I personally believe in UFO’s because last summer I spotted an object shoot across the sky at a fast rate of speed. It reversed direction many times — which cleared any chance of illusion. I called the Cornell Observatory and talked with one of the authorities who said similar sightings had been noticed, but he did not disbelieve me. If the truth is known maybe they are friendly, but with all the commotion I could just see some scared citizen shooting one out of fear. This might just be worse than having the truth known.

Students at- Students Replaced By Computers If you will recall, the room downstairs in the classroom buildings and to the right of the college store was once a haven for relaxation and refreshment for the students. We soon found this space closed within a wall of blocks and glass, and the students were no longer allowed to go there. As we peer through the glass now, what to our wondering eyes should appear? We see monstrosities called machines which we are told will become part of a new field that the college is offering to its students. The new field is called Data Processing. Soon more space in this little room will be taken by a variety of computers and calculating machines. These new methods will eliminate mountains of work and save time in doing tedious tasks that otherwise would take days and possibly weeks to accomplish. This new venture will be started next year, a limitation as to the number of select students to be enrolled in this program has been set. Trained people in this promising field are in great demand, and the demand is growing. Corning Community College has stepped ahead of other junior colleges by introducing this program into its curriculum. Will it be successful? It is certainly a challenge to the students. Why shouldn’t it be? After all, if a computer took your place, wouldn’t you do something about it? tending are: Nancy McDonald, Bob Brown, Jack Richie, Sheryl Sandler, Nancy Crouse, Bobbie Box, Jude Makowski, Lou Crain, Sharon Gibbs, Steve Crouch, Jacques Stafford.

Not only that, if I could contact the aerial visitors, the UFO mystery might be solved. The first step was to call Ann Arbor, Michigan, the popular UFO hangout. An Air Force investigator told me over the the line that UFO’s were always located around water. So I decided to try the college pond to see if they would show up there. Sure enough, they came. One by one they filed out of a hatshaped saucer — ten of them! The first little green man was one to speak. In a strange voice he said “I hear you’ve been look-looking for us.” When he noticed my surprise, he added, “If my voice sounds a little strange to you, it’s because I broke my Grank last week.’ Naturally, the first question I asked was: “Where are you from?” They all answered “MARS’!’ “Why are you visiting the United States?” One of them answered, “We’re on an S.A.A. mission to save the Ants of America. You see, Americans walk around every day killing ants, not realizing what they’re doing. It’s our job to wake them up before Bill Wyer has recently been elected Lt. Governor of Division 2 of the New York State Circle K at a State Convention held in Kingston, New York. His first official trip will be May 14 when he will be a guest at Broome Tech for the annual Banquet. America gets into serious trouble with our influential leaders. Ants are necessary for our nutrition.” I defended with, “Yes, but people are so distracted by UFO’s. How can you expect them to see the ants, when they’re looking up in the sky at you?” That’s when they became furious! One of them hit me in ear the with a rubber dart, and they all ran back to their space ship and took off. So now there’s no question about it. The UFO mystery has been solved. They are only ant-eaters from Mars.

Here this consists of a tennis team under the direction of Coach Bulkley and a golf team under Coach Craumer. Organization of both teams has already begun with a great deal of interest from many boys being shown. Out for the tennis team are: Dave Bocskor, Dick Henyan, Mark Cohen, Bob Webb, Dave Cusworth, Tom Weirick, Jim Scott, Ken Bruyere, Andy Ewanyk, and Dick Mitchell. Members of the golf team are as yet undecided. Five matches are scheduled for the tennis team and also the Region III tourney at Erie Tech. Five golf matches are also scheduled with the tourney at Auburn.

They have proposed a contest in which the students will write the lyrics. A cash prize will be awarded to the winner, but the amount is as yet undecided. The committee plans to have a professional write the music. The tentative deadline for submitting entries is December 1, and it is hoped that the Alma Mater will be completed in time for the June 1967 graduation. The contest is open to all students and alumni. If, by November 1st, no entries have been received, the contest may be also opened to the faculty. COLLEGE RECEIVES $27,000 GRANT The College has received a grant of $27,000 from the U. S. Office of Education to help provide part-time job for students at the College who work to help pay for education expenses. The grant is part of the Work-Study Program authorized by the Economic Opportunity Act. This is the third year the College has participated in the program. The funds cover the period July 1, 1966 through June 30, 1967 and include money for summer employment. Students who apply for work-study jobs must show financial need. They may work full-time during the summer months and up to 15 hours while College is in session. Federal funds pay 90 percent of their wages; the other 10 percent comes from College funds. Work done by students is in addition to work already performed by the College staff. In the past, students have worked outside on care of buildings and grounds, and as typists, cataloguers, clerks, and other office helpers. Some 60 students have already benefitted from the work-study program and about as many will hold jobs under the program between now and next summer. “PUTRID PREDICTS” The CRIER, the peerless prognostications of that powerhouse of print, Putrid Predicts. THE NATIONAL LEAGUE The Phillies are great, But it isn’t no fair To the rest of the league Who’ll never get there. “Frisco” is second With super-star Willie, But the Phillies ’11 still Make the Giants look silly. The Dodgers are third Cause O’Malley’s so cheap And he won’t pay his pitchers Enough for his keep. Pittsburgh is next Cause they traded a Friend And without dear old Bobby In Fourth place they’ll end. St. Louis is fifth Cause they traded away All of their infield For some bums who can’t play. Cincy is sixth Without our boy Frank They can’t win without him Without him they’re rank. The Braves are next From Atlanta they think Wherever they go They’re still gonna stink. Houston will move Up to eighth place And they might give the Braves A pretty good race. The Mets will be ninth Or I’m gonna curse They’ve got to get better Cause they can’t get no worse. Last is Chicago, With Leo the Lip With that idiot there To tenth place they’ll slip. Putrid will publish his pennant prognostications for the little, oops, I mean American League next week. At that time the name of number ninety most nausating nut (that’s Putrid, stupid) will be revealed. Watch for this shocking story in the CRIER. BIG LEAGUE BASEBALL The first week of the baseball season to some people was a real shocker. The Mets were above .500 for the first time in history. Sandy and Don both proved the value of spring training by getting bombed by Houston. L. A. and San Francisco both had good records against Chicago and the Astros. Watch out when they come east. Atlanta also got shocked. Elmer Roller ordered them back to Milwaukee, which was no shock at all, and they got beat 2 out of 3 by the Mets, a real shock. A lot of people have predicted that Milwaukee will never get another major league franchise; and the longer this court fight goes on, the better this prediction looks. Speaking of the Mets, Roger Craig, the Mets’ first 20 game loser, ruined his reputation with two victories in one week as the Phillies got off to a good start. A couple of trades seem to have backfired. While Frank Robinson set the American League on fire, Milt Pappas has not even pitched an inning. St. Louis got a more direct sting from their trades as Dick Groat had six hits in two games against them. Pittsburgh also got off to a great start while playing some pretty good ball clubs. They look like the team to beat so far. In the American League, it seems to be shaping up into a five team race. Detroit has pitching, Baltimore has the Robinsons; Minnesota is the league’s defending champions. Cleveland and Chicago are surprising a lot of people with their strong start. At the bottom end, Boston and Kansas City look so bad the only teams they will beat are each other. Washington is just as bad with L.A. only a step or two better. The Yankees, however, are the real shock. Their hitters have not been coming up with the clutch hit, and their relief pitchers were getting racked all over the diamond. The New Yorker’s weakness on the bench was evident when both Richardson and Armaro got hurt. They had to bring Tresh into the infield to stop at least a few of the grounders to the shortstop. Mantle is making a gallant effort but he is not the Mantle of old. It looks as if the Yankee dynasty is finally over, and with attendance slumping, it looks like CBS may find its first venture into sports ownership quite expensive. Both leagues have already narrowed the race down to five teams, as both Atlanta and New York look very poor. Other than that, the first week of the season has made the sports writers look real hard. Change of Pace College Catalogue Available To Students in May The new college catolgue, including information on courses available, policies and codes of the college, and extracurricular activities will be available by the middle of May. This will be the first completely new catolgue issued by the college in two years. by Pat Spring is finally here. Everyone seems to take advantage of the warm break. Kids take to the fields and playgrounds just to throw the old apple around. It makes no difference concerning the age of people during this season. Baseball, bermudas and fishing. What more could a man ask for? If the lady objects you simply smile and once more the Ides of spring take hold and away you go. If you decide to grab your fishing outfit you may choose any one of countless lakes, ponds and streams. Catching fish isn’t everything. It’s the idea of getting out and letting that seasonal bug tickle your spine. If you catch your quarry the trip is that more rewarding. Try a picnic if you may. There might be a little nip in the air, but that sun sure does feel good. The ideas BULLETIN: New College President To Be Announced A new president has been selected for the college by the Board of Trustees. The name of the new president has been withheld until his approval by the State University of New York. A final decision will be reached on May 12. The CRIER will run a special issue announcing the name of the new president as soon as the approval is made. Granger and good times during this time of year are endless. Take advantage of it. Get out and enjoy it. That’s what spring is here for. The baseball season is already under way. There is baseball everywhere. Take in a Sunday afternoon game somewhere. Those who go with regularity know what I mean. If you seldom do, go a little more often. The Change of Pace is great. Lean back in your seat and tip a cool. The preference of what you like to be cool is yours of course. Now if you walk down the street with a baseball bat over one shoulder, a fishing pole over the other and wearing a pair of passionate orange bermudas, relax! Spring affects even the men in the little white coats. LOOKING AHEAD by Pat Granger Sportsmen! How about an outdoor club? This is just an idea that has been wandering through my mind since I first enrolled at Corning. I personally would like to see it come. For instance the club could sponsor hunting trips in the winter. Sure there is good hunting in the area but a trip to the Adirondacks would be that much more enjoyable. Fishing trips to Canada would be a boom I’m sure. Then again when the white stuff starts falling feeding stations for wildlife would be maintained. During the summer, streams could be improved for the conservation of fishing. All this and then some is included in this plan. Again I say I would like nothing more than to see this club exist. How do you feel about it? Let the CRIER office know. It’s up to you. SKILLED HAIR STYLISTS HIGH FASHION OR CASUAL INDIVIDUAL HAIR COLORING CAROZZONI SPEAKS AT CONFERENCE Ronald V. Carozzoni, a sophomore presented a paper, “Detecting Anomie Through Opinion Survey,” at the first Inter-campus Undergraduate Psychology Conference at The State University College at Oswego, on Saturday afternoon, April 30. Carozzoni’s paper dealt with the measurement of anomie (a feeling of hopelessness at the hands of society) in a small New York community, before and after the rescinding of an order announcing the closing of a major industry. Carozzoni, a Dean’s List student who will transfer to State University of New York at Stony Brook where he will major in psychology submitted his paper on March 15, in competition with students from 58 State University units.

As of next year, the course will not be a requirement. It is the feeling of this reporter that this is a step in the wrong direction. First Aid is a better course in the “applied sense” than Health and many of the other electives offered. There are numerous instances in everyday life when some knowledge of what to do in an emergency is a must. However, if First Aid is not mandatory, many of Cor-ning’s students will not enroll in this course. As a result, these students will not benefit from knowing what to do in case of an accident, fire, drowning or other emergency.
