THE CRIER Vol. 32, No. 1 Corning Community College February 16,1989 SUNY Anticipates Funding Cuts The Chancellor of the State of New York stated on January 17th that SUNY would move promptly to determine how it would operate under the constraints of the 1989-90 Executive Budget recommendations while making every effort to maintain the quality of education. Commented Chancellor D. Bruce Johnstone: "The University will bear its part of the solution to the serious financial plight facing New York State. Our major concern must be that the steps we take cause the least long term damage to higher education." "The budget is not yet final, and I know the Governor and the Legislature are continuing to seek new solution. However, because our 64 campuses must begin now to prepare for this very difficult period, I must make clear to the University Community the serious implications of this proposed budget." "Our campuses have been doing more with less real resources for at least the last ten years, and in the current fiscal year alone have absorbed permanent budget reductions of more than $10 million. The 1989-90 Executive Budget now confronts us with the prospect of a further operations cut of approximately $55 million at the 34 State campuses plus another $10 million cut to the budgets of the three University hospitals." "The proposed State's share of operating support for the University's 30 locally sponsored Community Colleges, such as CCC, is tantamount to a cut of $12 million, leaving those campuses without funding for salary increases or inflation." "The proposed budget will require elimi- nation of at least 650 presently filled jobs at the State campuses. Clearly this is a retrenchment budget." "Barring any relief, the University must anticipate some cur- INDEX OPINION.................................Page 4 CAMPUS NEWS.............................Page 5,8 PROFILE: Colette Bierwiler............Page 6 PROFILE: Jeff Anderson..................Page 7 ENTERTAINMENT...........................Page 9 CLASSIFIEDS.............................Page 10 SPORTS..................................Page 11,12 tailment and even elimination of academic programs, cutbacks in student and community services and losses in enrollment." "While campus closures will not be a response to cuts in the 1989-90 budget, we cannot preclude other campus structural changes, such as school or major program phase-outs." "Given the damage inherent in the proposed budget, an increase in tuition must be a serious consideration." "There also are pluses to an otherwise bleak budget. The governor has increased his support of the Graduate and Research Initiative and the programs for academic equipment, child care and undergraduate minority scholarships. In addition, the governor's proposed budget is an evenhanded, very straight forward document, fully respecting the principles of flexibility and campus autonomy signed into law two years ago." "We have begun working with campus presidents and their staffs to determine how we can best manage cuts which will range between 4 and 6 per cent of total campus operating budget. Our objective will be the most effective and responsible course possible." Hangen Contemplates Budget Restraints By Michelle Yusko When asked to comment on how the proposed 1989-90 Executive Budget constraints on education would effect Corning Community College, College President Donald Hangen said the effects would not be devastating though he concedes that "certainly it is a problem. " At this point, Hangen said, an increase in tuition is not expected; it isn't even included in the legislative agenda. Program cancellations or the termination of courses is also unlikely under the current proposal. Instead, a decrease in funding would be likely to bring about more subtle consequences, such as a decrease in the number of sections for a given course. This could mean less freedom of scheduling and larger class size for CCC students. Unfortunately, no one will know exactly how the college will be effected by the potential loss of state funding for approximately one month because the state legislature has yet to approve or ammend the budget.

Houghton Library celebrated it's twenty-fifth Anniversary with a reception in the rare book room on Friday, February 10th. Dr. William Thompson, who has been on the CCC campus since 1959, spoke about the changes that he has seen over the years, as did President Hangen. ptures, "honor were all and special student room" provided. Arthur born in 1906, gave A. Houghton, Corning in his name to CCC's library. Mr. Houghton, who was at one time the President of Steuben Crystal at Corning Glass Works Inc., first showed his interest in books as a young child and, later in life, collected rare books. Houghton donated large sums of money to the building of the library and contributed many rare books as well. He is the uncle of Amory Houghton. Originally the library's emphasis was centered on the Liberal Arts Programs. The library was often compared to a museum. Paintings, music, scul- Powell Returns Even today, Don Voorhees, Librarian, believes that many still see the extensive library as a "museum" with books in the basement. Despite these misconceptions, many of the changes that have occurred in the library over the past twenty-five years have reflected the growing number of students enrolled in the more practical degree oriented programs. Now the library has over 70,000 book volumes and is the only community college in New York State that houses government depository documents. Librarian Barbara Hornick-Lockard comments, "The people who have worked here have taken pride in the buiIding." Throughout all the changes and growth, the Arthur A. Houghton Library continues to offer interesting and educational exhibits. to Public Safety By Michelle Yusko • Students may have noticed a new face in the Public Safety department here on campus.

Stop by the Career and Transfer Information Center in the Commons for details about RlT's Outstanding Transfer Scholarship Program. Don't delay! Application deadline is March 1, 1989. Page 4 OPINION February 16,1989 From the desk of the "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm", wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson, trancen-dentalist and essayist of the late 19th century. Emerson would be neither amused nor enthused if he were a student at Corning Community College today. Student apathy is everywhere. This deadly and contagious lack of commitment is responsible for a poor social atmosphere on campus, a real minus for those who want to broaden their college experience. 225 students take part in Student Government's clubs and organizations, 375 in intramurals and recreation, and 240 in athletics and weight training. All together some 840 students participate in regular college activities, when the full and part time student body is 3,200 strong! Efforts to "wake" the campus community are fruitless if students just don't care. The December Holiday Dance had to be cancelled because not enough students were interested. The Student Government Food Drive collected only 402 cans of food, 100 cosmetics, and $12.00. The most impressive Brown Bag Forums have often gone begging for observers, A number of organizations even had trouble recruiting new members at the Campus Life Fair, a chili eating and socializing session on campus. While sheer numbers do not tell all, the Crier feels that these numbers do reveal a problem. Where is everybody? Where are they hiding? Excuses make good cover. Some are as follows: "This is a commuter college", "I don't have the time", "I'm too shy." The list goes on and on. Unfortunately, though, excuses for not getting involved hurt both you personally and the campus life of CCC. The Crier encourages active participation by suggesting the following "action plan". Number One; set aside a few hours each week that you will give to a club, organization, or sport. Most clubs and organizations meet Tuesdays or Thursdays, but the Student Activities Office has specifics. Number two; write letters to the Editors and speak up when something moves you. Number three; Sign up for an activity, club, organization or sport that interests you now and take advantage of the college’s built-in activity fee. Number four; Eat less chili and make more commitments. Vallee View by Eddie Vallee The Dean Speaks By Gunars Ph.D. Reimanis, Please accept my wishes for a successful spring semester. We begin this semester with much excitement as we move into the new Chemistry laboratories and begin to take advantage of other changes in our Science Building. I hope you will make an effort to walk through the new addition to the Science Building. These labs incorporate the most up-to-date concepts in chemistry education. A great deal of thought and planning has gone on for over two years to make this dream a reality, and a special tribute today is due to the College's Buildings Gunars Reimanis, Ph.D. and Grounds staff and the chemistry faculty and students who worked together many hours, at times on weekends and holidays, to make it possible for the labs to be operational at the beginning of the spring semester. Thank you, students, faculty and staff. We shall think of you as we enjoy the fruit of your work . Student Gov’t Viewpoint By Jason Smith It permeates through people, buildings, institutions, and causes depression. You are unaware that it is beginning to hit you and once it takes control of your life, you become too unmotivated to change it. It is the dreaded disease called apathy. A large number of students who never have attended a community college before enter CCC with preconceived ideas about what their collegiate experience will be like. Many students coming straight from high school are expecting an "Animal House"-like party atmosphere and upon realizing that this cannot exist without dormitory housing, become discouraged and simply go home as soon as they are done with classes. On the other hand, many continuing education students feel that campus activities and clubs are just for the "snot-nosed" 18 and 19 year olds, and that cannot get any beneficial experiences from them. These people fail to see the value in cocur- ricular activities. Through participation in The Crier, WCEB, Student Government, Nursing Society, or any other of the many organizations on campus, valuable experiences and contacts can be made. It is very easy to grumble and complain about the alleged lack of valuable activities and programs. However, the people who seem to complain the most work to change things the least. Over the next few weeks, candidates will be campaigning for next year's Student Government offices. Please be aware so that you can make the best decisions in the up- coming months. As al-ways, you can give any suggestions to me at 962-9360. 4 February 16,1989 CAMPUS NEWS Page 5 Brown Bag Scheduled Dr. Daniel Callahan, one of the nation's most respected experts on medical ethics, will be guest speaker at the Corning Community College Brown Bag Forum Thursday, March 2nd 1989, at 12:30 p.m. in the Large Lounge of the Commons Building.

P O BOX 37137 WASHINGTON. D C 20013 S Human Rights Now! Counselor’s Comer By Ron Combopiano First, I'd like to welcome the new students who've arrived at CCC this semester. Secondly, I'd like to welcome back our 3,000 plus returning full and part timers. For all CCC students, new and returning, there are two programs on campus designed to give service to those with a demonstrated academic need. The Special Services Project and the PACE Program are geared to help students by providing academic and career advisement. The Special Services Project (SSP) offers support services to students who are the first in their families to attend college, who had below an 80 high school or 2.0 college average, who are nongraduates (including GED recipients), or the physically / learning disabled. The program offers registration assistance, academic and career counseling support, and personal support. The three full time and one half time SSP counselors also teach Career Directions (CP101), Strategies for academic success (LS101), and college Study Skills (LS100). These five week, one credit courses aid students in developing a legitimate approach to work, school, and personal success. Project PACE, Public Assistance Comprehen- sive Employment Program is for those students on public assistance who are eligible to receive aid for dependent children. The PACE staff serves students who intend to gain employment directly following the completion of an Associate degree or certificate program. The four PACE counselors provide academic counseling, career counseling and placement, ana personal support while serving as liaisons with the Department of Social Services. PACE staff members also teach College Study Skills (LS100) and Achievement Motivation (HS100). Both SSP and PACE provide their students with friendly faces to turn to when situations crop up which can affect studies. Both programs operate out of an office suite on the second floor of the CCC Administration Building. Should anyone wish to find out more about the two programs, please stop in. Their office hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm. Best of luck to all this semester. Page 6 February 16,1989 PROFILE: Colette Bierwiler By Fred Day Potius sero quam nuraquam. It is better to learn late than never. If Publilius Syrus, the author of this maxim, could meet Colette Bierwiler, he could witness the impact these four words can have. Bierwiler, although born in Scotland, has spent her entire life in the Corning area. She went to school at the Northside and although her curriculum was college prep she decided upon graduating that she would rather get married and raise a family than continue her schooling. So at the tender age of sixteen she settled into the role of wife and mother. She has three children, two of which are in college now and one who is in high school. When the children were young she did a little volunteer work which she says she found very rewarding. But when her youngest daughter entered school, she decided it was time that she went back to school herself. Since she lived in the Corning area, the most logical place to start was right here at CCC. She didn't? know exactly what she wanted to do but she did know that she wanted a better education. It was here at CCC that she decided she would like to teach. There were difficult times, for Bierwiler as-she was going to college, managing . a house, and raising three children simultaneously. She persevered throughout and soon had finished her two years. Now would come the real challenge. She chose to attend Harpur College, SUNY Binghamton for her Baccalaureate Degree. Because of her family's ties to this area, Colette drove to Binghamton and back rather than move. This meant that for four years (two to get her Bachelor's and two more for her Master's), she got up at four o'clock every morning and faced a drive of over an hour . After earning her degree and becoming a teacher, one would expect her schedule to be somewhat less hectic. Not so, says she. "Teaching is not an eight hour job. I have students calling me at home or coming over to speak with me almost every day." She is quick to add that she wouldn't have it any other way. Although Bierwiler earned a double major at Harpur (philosophy and English) she only teaches English here at CCC. It is apparent after only a few minutes of talking to her that she truly enjoys her job. She admits that composition class can be a little trying but she says that her other classes more than make up for that. The other classes she has are Literary Analysis and Drama. She says she absolutely loves teaching both of them. "Classic literature has always fascinated me," she says. "When one of my 105 students comes over I always do my best to help them and then they go their way, but when a 106 student visits I often end up offering then a spot at the dinner table because I love discussing the classics." Bierwiler this is reasons teach at chance t with the display what I makes this while . " says that one of the she chose to CCC. "The to work closely students that an interest in teach is what is job worth- She also enjoys her Drama class immensely, "one of my favorite things to do is go to the city (New York) and watch plays. Off Broadway is very exciting." She says she intends to take her class to the city this semester to watch a production of STEEL MAGNOLIA. Bierwiler's classes flow like the Colorado River. Easy and deep at times and extremely turbulent at others. She says there is a very simple reason for the occasional disturbances. "I say what I want to say when I want to say it." This aspect of her personality makes her a true joy to interview. She is extremely candid. For example, she says that she is aware of her reputation as the campus feminine activist. She says that this doesn't bother her in the least. "In fact," she says, "it gives me another tool. If competing with me or trying to prove me wrong makes a student take that extra step, do just a little more research than required, then I will use it to, my advantage. Eventually, I hope, the extra effort will work to their advantage also." It is easily apparent that her students are a very big part of her life. She says that one of her greatest joys comes from seeing one of her students go on to a four year school. "You never know these things for certain," she says. "But just the thought that I may have influenced a student to continue is very gratifying." February 16,1989 Page 7 PROFILE: Jeff Anderson By Jonathan Bocock The goals people set for themselves are sometimes very high, or at least, high enough to achieve. Some people never reach their goals, but then there are those who do. Jeff Anderson has realized some of his most important goals like playing basketball on a college team, and succeeding academically in a college atmosphere (he is the first Anderson to go away to college). Anderson also stands an excellent chance of achieving his future goals such as playing at a larger school. Several universities have written him, asking if he would like to play for their team The doors that are opening for him because of his basketball talent, he hopes, will help him attain even higher goals. Anderson's greatest aspiration is to become a high school English teacher. He strives to reach this goal with an enthusiasm that borders on obsession, and with this attitude he will surely be successful. Anderson has been a point guard on the CCC Red Barons basketball team for the past three semesters. His success as a basketball player is known to anyone who has seen him play, or to those who have read of him in the Crier's sports section. He averages 19 points per game, and nine and one half assists. He will be in the top ten all-time scorers for the Barons, and is well on his way to having the highest assist record in the history of the team. He is a very focused player, and even a large crowd usually won't phase him. "When I'm out on the court, I play to win," he says. His grades coming out of high school were not high enough to get him into the University of Buffalo, which was his first preference, so Anderson stayed out of college for two years. However, he still had the desire to learn, and to play basketball, and so he decided to look for colleges that he could attend. He first looked into Monroe Community College, but decided against it because it had too much of a high school atmosphere. That was when the University of Buffalo athletic department suggested that he try Corning. Anderson liked CCC right away. He'd heard of the outstanding record of the basketball team, and of the excellent academic programs that CCC offers. He says that he can feel the differences between Rochester and Corning, but he doesn't mind. Corning gave him a new atmosphere to live in, C c and a chance for a fresh start. He says, "I think coming to CCC has really paid off." Anderson's academic record at CCC is something that few people know of. He is enrolled in the Liberal Arts program, and is currently holding a respectable GPA, considering the amount of extracurricular ac- tivities he has been engaged in during his three plus semesters at Corning. He took MA 102 (structured math) during this year's mini- mester, while playing twelve games in a period of eighteen days - all away games. He was up until the early hours of the morning every day. With all that, Anderson still scored a B+, an admirable grade. The hard work doesn't bother him so much, because, as he says, "I want to play basketball so I know what I have to do." He says that no one should complain that things are too tough for them at CCC, because he is doing the same academic work as they, and playing ball at the same time. "This is what I choose," he added, "so I must pay the consequences . " When asked about what advice he would give to new students at CCC, Anderson said that he would tell them to be prepared for hard work, but he also suggested that the rewards are great, and well worth the effort. We can all learn something from Jeff Anderson's persistence and vision. He is a superb example of a person willing to make sacrifices in order to better himself, and improve his future. Page 8 CAMPUS NEWS February 16,1989 7 Students successfully Complete honor projects By Tom McGrath During the Fall 1988 semester seven students participated in the Honors Program at Corning Community College. This program provides students with the opportunity to work individually with a faculty mentor on a project of the stu-dent's own design. While doing a project a student can join the Honors Forum Seminar where he will have the opportunity to share his work and ideas of mutual interest with other students. The written portion of these top quality projects are bound and put into the library where they are available for the entire college community to enjoy. This past Fall, Carl Doyle worked with mentor Horst Werk to produce an architectural model of a vacation home he had designed and for which he had drawn blueprints. The model is set in a display case on a scale model of the landscape for which it was designed. The model is currently displayed near the entrance to the library for everyone to admire. Kapryan Kennedy executed a 3 panel, 3 dimensional design that you can enjoy as you walk the basement corridor between the library and the Resource Building. Don't miss Carl's model or Kappy's "tryptych", two excellent Honors displays. Steven Foster worked with Byron Shaw last semester on creative writing. With the help of Bob Demyan and Wendy Marvel, Jennifer Johnston developed a series of slides set to music representing the theme of urban decay and also painted a series of pictures depicting the major moods of several stories by Albert Camus. Michael Schaffner worked with Al Gerth at the Business Development Center on electronic controls for a robotics system, while Sheila Wilson, with Sonia Werner's help, worked on the compilation of resource material for family oriented social services. Soon you can relish the written portions of these projects in the library. If you are interested in this program and want more information, visit Tom McGrath in S 214A or call the program office at 962-9369. Be sure to congratulate your friends and acquaintances on their fine work in the Honors Program last semester. Sign Language Offered The Business Development Center, a Corning Community College facility, is offering a 20 hour . non credit course in Sign Language beginning Monday, February 6 from 8 p.m. Participants in the course will be introduced to deaf culture, finger-spelling and basic signs. They wil be provided with the op- opportunity to practice fingerspelling and signing through group activity. Instructor Camille Meek is currently coordinator for the Special Education Training and Resource Center. She also teaches at SCT Tech. Center and has been an interpreter in the area for many years. To Your Health By Madeline Uhl, RN College Nurse Our college years are important to all of us because it is at this time of our lives that we are making the necessary choices to improve the quality of our future. We hope that our college preparation will afford us more career opportunities. But college is also a time to adopt and adhere to a healthy lifestyle which will remain with us throughout our lives. Our good health will help us to respond to the demands and enjoyments of our personal lives and workplaces. Lifestyle is simply the way we live. Many of us have not paid attention to developing good lifestyle habits. In fact studies show that over 50% of our population will die prematurely as a result of poor health habits. These habits can damage and destroy our physical and mental well- being. Coronary Artery Disease, a major cause of death, can often be considered a lifestyle disease. Over 50 billion dollars is spent annually in health care costs and loss of productivity due to Coronary Artery Disease. The fact to remember is that Coronary Artery Disease does not begin at the age of 50, but has its beginnings in child- hood .

February 16,1989 ENTERTAINMENT Page 9 International Week Slated Spotlight on Music Harpist Performing At CCC On February 28, 1989 at 12:30, at Corning Community College, harpist Harvi Griffin will be performing in the Large Lounge in the Commons. Griffin's varied career has included several White House performances as well as over 900 concerts throughout the United States, Far East and Europe. At the age of four, Griffin began to study piano and by age twelve was playing various woodwind, string and other keyboard instruments. Griffin was introduced to the harp after being accepted to Cass Technical High School in Detroit, Michigan. Recently, Griffin's career has included over 300 performances for the National Association of Campus Activities. He was runner-up for the 1988 Campus Entertainer of the Year Award. As a result of his 1987 success in Vienna, he plans to return to Europe for further concerts, television appearances and masters class instruction. Griffin's diversified program includes selections from Bach to Brubeck, Continental to Calypso, Ageless to New Age . "There is always a quality of joyfulness in his playing. And there is the breadth and discipline which characterize a master instrumentalist. What a pleasure to be able to listen to him!" By Ameena Nalim CCC will celebrate it's International Week 1989 in March. The week of March 13-17 will focus on the Indian subcontinent with special emphasis on the island of Sri Lanka. Movies, food, dances, costumes, speakers and library displays will all be highlighted. On Monday, there will be movies in the Commons. On Tuesday, food will be served, while on Wednesday, students will celebrate with music and dance. There will be a speaker on Thursday and a Trivia Contest on Friday. The movies will highlight India and Sri Lanka. The dancing will be by a little Indian boy, Puneet Panda. The Sri Lankan dance will be performed by students on campus. The dancers are being trained. Misty Oakley will sing a Sri Lankan song. A committee consisting of Jack Anderson, Cleo Krecker, Polly Leveen, Tom McGrath, Ameena Nalim, and Meta Spiegler has been set up to plan the activities . The Inter-Club trivia contest will quiz knowledge of India and Sri Lanka. All clubs on campus are expected to participate. Prizes will be awarded to the winning clubs. The contest will be held on Friday, March 17th in the main dining room at noon. By Scott Tubbs Just over twenty-five years ago the Beatles started their first American tour in California. This was the official beginning to the mania that hit the world and has, to some extent, continued to date. Between January 1964 and May 1970, The Beatles recorded and released eighteen albums and forty singles, including such classics as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Let it Be, and Hey Jude. Many things have happened to the "Fab Four" since that eventful day decades ago. The mop topped "boys next door" became the serious bandsmen always record- ing something new and different. Later in their career, the four became "stoned and mystic" followers of the psychedelic period. In the ten years before Lennon's death, each of the Beatles had been working on solo projects and none of them had planned to play together again.Though they had never planned this, John Lennon's death eliminated any possibility of a reunion. It is unfortunate that one senseless killer ended the life of a world leader, as well as the possibility of the most important rock group playing again.
