Editors Notes: Intro By KEVIN ROE MANAGING EDITOR A letter from an editor—a letter of introduction. Since this is my first editorial I believe I should let you, the readers, know what I hope to achieve, not where I stand. You’ll find out where I stand eventually. My role is not that of a sooth-sayer. I don’t propose to know all of the answers. I’ll tell you how I feel about certain issues and I may regret some of the things I will say. But maybe I can prod some suggestions from you. And maybe between us we can approach some answers. I sincerely hope my efforts will not be as fruitless as those of past editors. To help insure against failure, I tell you now that if you don’t agree with me, let me know. Write a letter to the editor. Murder me. Cut me right down without mercy. Make me wish I was never born. Satisfy all your sadistic urges. Of course, if I still think that I’m right, I can always return your insults in a rebuttal. But I will try not to run an issue into the ground. Time is too short. I hope that this doesn't sound like the same line that has been fed to you by my predecessors. If it does, then I will probably get the same negligible response that they got. If, however, you take me seriously, then I will get some feedback and consider myself successful. So, to avoid making me feel like a complete failure—which would result in acute neurosis on my part—let me know how you feel. Give me a hard time and you will give me a good time. The height of cleverness is to be able to conceal it. What is Truth? a) All of the above b) Yes c) No d) Orange Your Congressman For the guidance of readers who want to write concerning legislation, here are the members of Congress serving areas where C.C.C, students have voting residency. SENATE: New York State — Jacob K. Javits of New York City, James L. Buckley of New York City. Pennsylvania — Richard S. Schweiker of Worchester, Hugh Scott of Philadelphia. HOUSE: New York State — Howard W. Robison of Owego, 33rd Congressional District; John H. Terry of Syracuse, 34th District; James F. Hastings of Allegany, 38th District. Pennsylvania—Joseph M. McDade of Scranton, 10th District; Albert W. Johnson of Smethport, 23rd District. Address: Senators at Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510 Representatives at House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515 New For Next Year By CHRIS MORTON EDITOR-in-CHIEF From Tom Martin’s “New Look” the Crier will be entering a new phase known as “New Innovations.” Seemingly useless articles which came under the World and National heading will be removed to make way for Inter-Campus News. There will be special reporters assigned to the state and national legislatures, keeping watch for new laws of special interest to college students. We will have a weekly report on all the nearby concerts, and a list of the new publications at the campus library. We will also try to keep you abreast of what will be happening in and around Corning. However, if any of this is to become a reality, the State Senate must not be allowed to pass a bill (S. 3433, presently in the State House of Representatives) which will stop the mandatory payment of the Activities Fee in public schools. This action would not only cripple the Crier, but would also incapacitate all campus activities. This includes sports, kegs, clubs and all activities presently under Inter-Club Council (ICC). This would also mean closing of the Commons, and C.C.C, is dull enough already without that. Our legislators’ reasoning behind this measure is simple. They do not believe that a minority of students should be allowed to play in politics, using their fellow students’ money, or at least that is what they say. What they mean is they are scared to death of College students. Politicians know that, college students have always been one of the most powerful lobbying blocks in history. They also realize that some of the goings on in Albany are good for industry, but not necessarily good for the majority. So what they are doing is wrong and they know it, and they do not want anyone watching them while it is being done. The State Constitution provides that the State Legislature is responsible to the people. All of the people. Our Albany politicians, by passing this law, are violating our rights as citizens and protesters to assemble and protest. And how are they doing this? By cutting off campus communications and making sure that college students cannot assemble and cannot protest because they will not know the issues until it is too late. If we rely on local newspapers and radio to give us the issues, we might just as well rely on the politicians to send us monthly bulletins. And needless to say, that would be slitting their own throats. I urge you to write to your Representatives. Let your parents know what is going on. This is a democracy, and we cannot allow the government to censor us anymore. The college newspaper is one of the footholds of uncensored news. Do not allow them to ruin it, too. This is my opinion.

Scratch that. Events have occurred since I wrote that piece which definitely merit evaluation. Monday night, May 8th, President Nixon gave a speech which introduced a program that will effect a re-escalation of the war in Vietnam. These are the basic points of Nixon s plan. —The U.S. will plant mines in all eastern entrances to North Vietnamese ports to prevent ships from entering with supplies. —Rail and all other means of communications will be severed, in Mr. Nixon’s words, “to the maximum extent possible.” —Air and naval strikes on military targets will continue. —These measures will end when all POW’s are returned and an internationally supervised cease fire is enacted. —When these conditions are met, our troops will be completely withdrawn within four months. If they are not met, the U.S. will hold Moscow responsible. Nixon’s speech can be summarized thusly: the United States will continue to kill people until Moscow decides that their principles are wrong and our principles are right. Or maybe until they feel a moral obligation to stop killing, regardless of principles. What Richard Nixon is doing is passing the buck. He is leaving the decision up to others when long ago he should have come to the realization that in order to preserve the American ideal that all men are “endowed with certain inalienable rights,” one of which is the right to fife, he has to end the killing. There is an inherent moral obligation to save lives. There is also a Christian (which Nixon supposes to be) principle which says, “Thou shalt not kill.” In continuing this war Mr. Nixon is acting immorally and sinfully. What can we do? We can protest, as I am doing now. We apparently haven’t been heard yet, but we must persevere. Let’s not degrade ourselves with violence. That would only throw us into the moral gutter with Mr. Nixon and all those who condone killing. We can also use our new political ally, the vote. We must not be apathetic, for this would only result in the re-election of a man who flagrantly abuses morals, and the blame would lie on our shoulders as well as his. At this point I can only wonder how the principles of freedom can be served by killing people. How does freedom taste from six feet underground? Reader Reaction 1984 - or 1973 Letter to the Editor: So. Once again we find ourselves at war. Once again we have thrown the weight of our technology (and thereby, our wealth, and presumably our spirit) into combat against an enemy that poses a threat that we, in reality, fear beyond reason, and comprehend not at all. Once again we execute motions to inundate a region of mystery in the fire of our ill-understood wrath, because we cannot free our own failings. Once again, we trade the blood of brothers both known and foreign for a modicum of security in the tractless ocean of our inadequacy. How is it, then, in this changeless tide of hypocrisy, that some of us retch and vomit on that sour, insubstantial pap that some would make us believe to be reality? How is it that that which is comfortable is no longer comforting? The answer lies in the question itself: (We know wherein has the fault; We know what to do about it; We know that by knowing these two things we cannot face ourselves; We therefore hide from what we know.) The time and pace of events accelerates to a point where you and I can no longer afford to turn our heads from what is: War is not stopping. People are not living better lives. No one is about to lead us to the realization of our nation’s ideals, if it means sacrificing the material gains of the subnation often called the Establishment. An intelligent examination of the factualities of our nation will tell anyone worthy of seeing that we war not for defense of democratic ideals, and not even for the maintenance of our own secure (if misguided and dubious) stronghold in the world, but that we make war for economic self-interest (assuredly not the same thing); we make war because we are embarassed by the success of those who defy our white will; in By CHRIS MORTON EDITOR-in-CHIEF On Monday last, President Nixon had the audacity to reescalate the war in Southeast Asia. As of sundown last night, the mines which the U.S. Naval forces have been planting in North Vietnamese territorial waters have been activated. Bombing of the North has been stepped up, and now includes communications centers, transportation routes and “all other targets of military significance.” He feels justified in doing this because he feels that it will serve to protect the 60,000 U.S. forces presently assigned to Viet Nam and the 17 million citizens of South Viet Nam. However, I choose to believe that in the long run, it will be these people that he is trying to protect that will have to pay for this move. I base this belief on the fact that when dealing with human behavior, for every negative action, there is a greater, more powerful retaliation. The more President Nixon endeavors to oppress the peoples of the North, the harder they are going to fight back. And if Nixon continues with his present policy of escalation, he may just escalate us right into World War III. He will do so as follows. The League of Nations was doomed from its inception by the fact that it had no U.S. support. Hence, when the dictators of Europe and the Far East began to rise and threaten the world, the League was powerless to stop them. As a result, there came World War II. Now we have the United Nations, an international defender of justice which is slowly becoming another piece of worthless history. Why? Because the United States is undermining it in Southeast Asia. How? On the 21st of July, 1954, the ‘Final Declaration’ of the Geneva conference (otherwise known as the Geneva Accords) was accepted internationally. It provided for: —The ending of hostilities in Southeast Asia, and the international supervision of the execution of the Geneva accords. —The prohibiting of introduction into Vietnam all foreign troops as well as all forms of munitions and arms. —The establishment of the military demarcation line (DMZ) which is provisional and is not to be interpreted as a political or territorial boundary. —The establishment of a free election, to be held in 1956, under international supervision. —Insurance against a “bloodbath.” Although the U.S. did not sign this treaty, they issued a statement of policy on the matter. It stated that: “The Government of the United States, being resolved to devote its efforts to the strengthening of peace in accordance with the principles and purposes of the United Nations, takes note of the agreements concluded at Geneva on July 20 and 21, 1954. (The United States) declares with regard to the aforesaid agreements and paragraphs that (i) it will refrain from the threat or use of force to disturb them, in accordance with Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations dealing with the obligation of members to refrain in their international relations from the threat renewal of the aggression in violation of or use of force; and (ii) it would view any of the aforesaid agreements with grave concern and as seriously threatening international peace and security. “In connection with the statement in the declaration concerning free elections in Viet Nam my Government wishes to make clear its position which it has expressed in a declaration made in Washington on June 29, 1954, as follows: “ ‘In the case of nations now divided against their will, we shall continue to seek to achieve unity through free elections supervised by the United Nations to insure that they are conducted fairly/ “With respect to the statement made by the representative of the State of Viet Nam, the United States reiterates its traditional position that peoples are entitled to determine their own future and that it will not join in an arrangement which would hinder this. Nothing in its declaration just made is intended to or does indicate any departure from this traditional position. “We share the hope that the agreements will permit Cambodia, Laos and Viet Nam to play their part, in full independence and sovereignty, in the peaceful community of nations, and will enable the peoples of that area to determine their own future.” Even though this statement was made in July 1954, in October 1954, the Central Intelligence Agency was involved in various acts of subversion, including contamination of Hanoi’s oil supply for the delayed destruction of the mass transit system. Since that time, the U.S. has been covering up this original blunder with greater more absurd blunders, while insulting the basic intelligence of the American people. No matter what the U.S. government says, the base of our economy is war, and no country in this position can be for peace. So until we change our economy (which is falling apart anyway) there can be no peace in the world. The United States cannot stand with the United Nations and against them at the same time. As for the protection of the people of South Vietnam, what, in essence, the U.S. is doing is protecting them from a government which they would prefer. (A survey taken in 1954 by the C.I.A. showed that Ho Chi Minh was ahead by 80% of the vote.) And in turn subjecting them to an imperialistic war. This must stop, for the sake of world peace. This is my opinion. short, we make war because we are sore losers. I call upon anyone who might shape these sentiments to express them in ways that will bring attention to these discrepancies, in the hope that we can still find the means, in the midst of this democratic experiment, to better ourselves as a people and in that process become attuned to our relationship to our brothers elsewhere. I call upon those that are op- pressed here because of the shortcomings of the arrogant majority to recall how much they themselves must learn, so that we might learn together. Finally, I call upon all who would concern themselves with freedom to raise a noise that will tumble the walls of the Jericho of hypocrisy, hate, and blindness, so that they can free themselves, and thereby make safe for those that follow us a path to a life of understanding.

Crier photo by Laurel Sloan Tom Martin, Editor-in-Chief It would seem at least remotely foolish to make a credible attempt at relinquishing my position gracefully. The many battles of conviction, basic philosophical differences, and of course my undeniable leanings toward dictatorialism made my term of office as Editor-in-Chief at times a very traumatizing experience. I must flatly state that all my projected goals were realized, and the progress made by the newspaper has been very gratifying. It is difficult to turn my position over to a new man, but I’m sure that his efforts will continue to merit support and con- fidence from our less than dedicated circulation. Not meaning to shock any of my staff, I would like to thank each of them for their meritorious efforts. I would particularly like to thank James Willis, who made my job much easier, for his friendship and loyalty. To those who were never quite satisfied with this journal: we always did what we believed, and I personally shall never regret it. Problems worthy of attack Prove their worth by hitting back.

Judy Thomas, Layout Editor and most-wanted identity by the bureau of missing persons, (right) Jim Willis, Managing Editor As I sit here in the Crier office, leafing through this year's back issues of the newspaper, a wave of nostalgia comes over me. I begin to think about the countless number of hours spent in putting out the Crier, but by no means has it been a one-man show. Because this space is limited, I cannot possibly thank each and every individual that has done his or her part in producing the paper. They know who they are and can be found in the fool’s box. I would, however, like to thank one individual in particular—my fellow editor and friend— Tom Martin. Besides being in agreement on many issues, we have had one absolute interest— to organize, construct, and produce the best possible paper we could. And we have. On May 22, we are going to the St. Bonaventure Press Day. Last year’s Crier won 12 awards in national competition. Well, this year’s Crier will pick up 20 awards.

B. HOLMSTOCK FAREWELL—ONE AND ALL. This being my last column in the Crier, I would like to express my feelings on my two years spent here at C.C.C. In my years here I have met many students who hated Corning (both the city and the college) and they have not been afraid to tell it. With most of these students I found that it is simply a matter of not being able to adjust to life away from home. I feel sorry for these people. For the most part, these two years in Corning, for me, have been enjoyable, and the time spent here will be remembered for the rest of my life. This year the Crier has been a major portion of my college life, and I would like to take this opportunity to say goodbye and best of luck to the entire staff, of whom I have made many close friends. Corning is what you It won’t be long now before the students and faculty of C.C.C, can welcome the new look in yearbooks. The new 1972 yearbook should arrive on campus, the last week of school. At this time you will get to see the many changes that have been introduced. For you lucky sophomores who paid a two-dollar sitting fee last fall, and had your pictures included in the book, you will receive a Corona free of charge. For the rest of you, there will be a two-dollar fee. Hopefully there will be no delay in the shipment of the books to the campus. However, if a delay does occur, you will still be able make it. It can be the greatest place in the world or the worst, depending on you. These last few weeks in Corning will be some of the hardest in my life, for saying good-bye to so many friends will be no glad chore. For the people returning next year, and to the new freshmen, I hope your stay is as good as mine. There are problems of course, but you will have greater and more problems as your life continues. Again, a fond good-bye to all my Corning friends. And what is to happen to old B. B.? Well, with war, poverty, and Nixon, I have decided that civilization is too much for me. I’m off to Mt. Fujiyama to study the sex life of the Japanese snow monkeys. To the rest of mankind —may God have mercy on your souls. Love, Bruce Baker Holmstock to purchase a book during the months of May and June. If the shipment is late, you can inquire in the Corona Office as to where you can purchase a Corona.

I’ve been meaning to write this column for quite a while now, and finally something happened Saturday that was the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back. I’ve had it up to here with those organizations that are "for protection of animals" and other “good” motives. Either I’ve been unfortunate in seeing the exceptions to the rule, or else they are just what I think they are—which isn’t printable. Saturday I was in Elmira Heights and was passing a railroad construction site. Noticing a van belonging to the S.P.C.A., I was interested in seeing what had happened. All I saw was some man “carrying” a beautiful white cat by the back of its neck. Should I mention that the cat, although one leg appeared bleeding and injured, was not attempting to fight the man? Every now and then, the animal would twist its head and let out a whimper. Finally, the man stuffed the injured cat in a cage. The man from S.P.C.A. seemed to have absolutely no compassion for the animal, especially in his manner of holding the suffering cat. Another case against the S.P.C.A. is something that happened last fall. A dog was hit by a car in front of my home. After calling the S.P.C.A. I went out and took my chances in approaching the injured animal. But the poor dog was so gentle, he never tried to bite me—even though the skin from his hind leg was completely removed. When the men came to take the dog away, ab- Members of the Communications Division are interested in determining what new courses might appeal to students.

They treated the dog as if it had been trained to kill, putting a noose of some sort around its neck and dragging the dog along the pavement on its skinned leg! Needless to say I was duly impressed. The topper to this all even had a saccharine setting. It was Christmas Eve. A boy was out getting his kicks by shooting song birds in the field behind my house. Not just shooting, but after winging them, he smashed the injured ones with the butt of his gun. After telling him to go elsewhere (need I say where?) I found that one wounded bird was still alive. I caught it and put it in my enclosed porch. Naturally I wanted to get help for the animal, so I called the Humane Society and asked for someone who could help me set the wing. They referred me to the Audubon Society. The woman at the Society first asked me a series of questions—maybe to find out if I was a member of the correct social stratum, then she asked me what type of bird was injured. I thought these magnanimous people were only prejudiced against human minority groups—not animal ones. But believe it or not, when I told her it was just an ordinary starling, she said “We only take care of rare birds,” (How many rare birds are ever found in Elmira?) and that I should “let it loose in the yard.” When I added that the bird would be prey for the neighborhood cats, she said. "Good. Then your problems will be solved.” I’ll leave the conclusion up to you. etc.). Investigation of film techniques; film genres (western, gothis, gangster, etc.): and some consideration of the social impact of films.

Corona Communications Questionnaire page 6 the Crier/May 12, 1972 ENTERTAINMENT Rockets to Moon or Vietnam? crossword--.By Eugene Sheffer By MARALEE GORDON CHICAGO (LNS)—“Apollo 16 Heads Toward Moon” and “We Walk on Moon Again.” Once again astronauts’ hijinks have pushed news of U.S. defeats in Vietnam to the bottom of the front page or even to pages two, three, or four in some daily papers. If you have the vague notion that this has happened before, you aren't the only one. In fact, a close examination of the dates of Apollo flights, made by a reporter for the Chicago Seed, reveals that moon news has bumped coverage of “enemy” offenses and news of anti-war actions off the front pages of daily papers many times. The first “coincidence” seems to occur with Apollo 12 which left Cape Kennedy on November 14, 1969, and returned to earth 10 days later. On November 12, antiwar protesters gathered in Washington for a three-day moratorium of marches and actions. Al- though over 500,000 persons participated, they received minimal coverage. But the three military officers received full coverage, including exhaustive reports on their family life and interviews with their wives and kids. Was this merely a coincidence? Maybe so, but let’s look a little further. Apollo 13 blasted into space and into the newspaper headlines April 11, 1970. The next day small items in some papers began mentioning South Vietnamese troop movements near the Cambodian border. Due to a Saigon-imposed news blackout, most U.S. papers had nothing more to say about the U.S.-sponsored invasion of Cambodia until after Apollo 13 returned to earth, April 17th. As Apollo 13 landed on the moon in 3-inch headlines, a moratorium focusing on war taxes which brought demonstrators to IRS headquarters in Washington received almost no press coverage. Apollo 14 left earth January 31, 1971 and returned February 9th. While America was bombarded with astronaut trivia, you may recall that the "Secret War in Laos” was made official, as Saigon troops invaded. Apollo 15, which traveled between July 26 and August 7th, 1971 accompanied no significant war escalation as far as we know. But as we are all aware, Apollo 16 blasted off in the midst of the American bombing of North Vietnam and crushing defeats for the Saigon army and Nixon’s Vietnamization policy in the South; Vietnam and Apollo 16 vied for headlines in the straight press. The Nixon administration has effectively timed the Apollo flights to divert attention away from American invasions of Cambodia and Laos, U.S. bombing of Hanoi and Haiphong, and the gathering of antiwar protesters in Washington. Is it all coincidence? Be on the lookout for Apollo 17. Record Review: Hendrix Returns By MARK SULIVERES On September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix body died and his soul passed on under an air of mystery and speculation. Reports of his death ranged from heroin o.d. to a fatal lover’s quarrel. Rumors like this are commonly" linked with the deaths of flamboyant public figures, especially so when that person happens to be the ultimate rock superstar. As befitting his image, Hendrix is remembered for his musical prowess, and not the way he lived or what he did without his guitar. There is nothing cloudy about the musical legacy he left behind him and there are no doubts or second thoughts when you listen for yourself. Jimi’s music stands on its own merits, the expression of a man among men. These two albums were both released posthumously but they reflect some of the most creative moments in his beautiful lifetime. The Jimi Hendrix Experience— Experience (Ember) When Hendrix had his original band together, the group made a tour of Germany during its last days on the road (late summer 1969). The tour was made into a film and this l.p. is the soundtrack to that movie entitled “Experience.” There are four extended tracks here and each one is a very unique side of a true guitar wiz- ard. The first side opens with “Sunshine of Your Love” a rock classic that he turned into a wild, thrashing guitar piece. From the opening notes Hendrix hits you with the primitive drive, the raw animal power that he was so adept at communicating through his axe. Live music is so intense and exciting because it's a spontaneous exhibition of where a musician’s head is at, at that particular moment in time and with the first cut Jimi jumps into a fluid jam that builds and builds getting more powerful with each riff until finally in one rapid swoop the climax is reached and he starts bringing your head back home with the same smokin’ chords he started off with. Track two is “Room Full of Mirrors” and I believe it’s one of the best works Jimi ever laid down. On this song he plays music that springs forth from a supernatural imagination. It’s a very trippy cut that goes into new musical galaxies as yet unheard. With each successive run, and with each new phrasing, Hendrix asserts himself as the master manipulator of the psychedelic rock n' roll guitar and the contemporary lyrics that accompany its sound. You can feel him working the band, leading them. cruising thru their rhythm around the bass, blasting into the Faculty Members Attend Conference Several members of the math faculty at Corning Community College recently attended the annual conference of the New York State Mathematics Association of Two-Year Colleges held at Syracuse. Those attending were: Miss Joanne Mayer, Instructor, Mrs. Jean Abel, Assistant Professor; Mr. Charles Hauser, Associate Professor; Mr. Daniel Hoover, Associate Professor. Mr. Lawrence Carr, Associate Professor; Mr. James Poeth, Associate Professor; and Mr. Samuel Mclnroy, Professor, who serves as chairman of t.he Articulation Committee of NYSMATC. Prof. Carr addressed the session on "Using Analog Computers in Differential Equation Courses.” Dr. Heinrich Martens. Professor of Engineering at SUNY Buffalo and one of the principal speakers, was hosted by Prof. Hoover. drums and then jumping out to take the lead. Side one of this "Experience” album could probably stand up to any other Hendrix record and it certainly surpasses the live work of most other groups trying to get it on in concert. I said that this l.p. featured four very different moods of Hendrix and side two reinforces this thought, that Jimi can rock is no surprise and his space sounds are being copied like crazy but his blues and his blues playing can't be touched. “Bleeding Heart” leads off side two and it’s the refreshing perspective with which he plays the blues that makes him something special in a whole new way. As anybody knows the blues is the oldest and simplest of musical forms native to the U.S. and every mother’s son can learn to copy every blues riff ever heard if he has the patience and the money to invest in some old Muddy Waters or Elmore James albums. But yours truly is not like anybody else and his blues display diversity and a futuristic look at a style those W.A.S.P. boys should have put away years ago. “Bleeding Heart’’ is a song that reveals wounded melancholy with every passing second but it’s alive, it’s now and most of all it’s Jimi Hendrix. The last cut on side two is called “Smashing of Amps.” This cut lets you hear Jimi shift the emphasis from his vocals and guitar to his command of the electronics involved in thousands of watts of volume, fidelity, bass, treble, echo, etc. Yeah, this album is Jimi Hendrix as live as you will ever be and that my friends is an experience. Jimi Hendrix — Isle of Wight (Polydor) This l.p. is a live recording of Hendrix at the celebrated Isle of Wight music festival that took place on a small island off the coast of England in the summer of 1970.

Play on words Will McGovern Shine in Miami? Thanks to many volunteers— especially students (who gathered hundreds of signatures on petitions)—a list of McGovern delegates will be on the ballot for the June 20 presidential primary in our area. These volunteers have contributed as well to the growing grass - roots support for George McGovern. But there’s more to do if we expect to elect a president for peace. A major campaign effort in the Corning area depends on whether we can get enough volunteers. We hope to open an office and to campaign extensively in June—IF students and other citizens commit themselves to staff the office and to personalize politics by meeting people where they live and feel. Peace is more than a wish— it’s work. If you’re ready to move for peace, contact Frank Anastasio: Office—C201J, 962-9307; Home — 184 E. 4th St., Corning, 962-4550. you hear him getting into shape for the following set. The band (this time Mitch Mitchell on drums and Billy Cox on bass) starts filling out all the rough edges and this jam works a self down into a very sensuous number entitled “Foxey Lady”. Hendrix uses this track to express some very powerful visions of his sex trips. “Foxey Lady” is very easy to identify with for obvious reasons so it makes the album a Godsend to have around the house when your favorite lady comes over and the lights go down low. The mood continues with “Lover Man” another powerhouse tune with strong percussion backing a sexy, rocking lead guitar solo. So much for side one. The second side comes in with a hard, rough version of "Freedom.” This song could have had a better mix, but it still comes through as another Hendrix masterpiece. It seques into the ultra spacey - killer version of “All Along the Watchtower.” This is Hendrix at his greatest. The song that follows next is almost anticlimax but it manages to create enough of its own excitement to challenge its predecessor. All told, this album is a bitch. The ultimate for the contemporary rock freak.

By EMAD FADDOUL SPORTS EDITOR The Red Ball Express started off strong Friday, May 6 whipping Cobbleskill Community College 16-2 in the first game of the Region III championship Tournament. Corning looked sharp and in shape. I n the second game North Country Community College defeated Dean Community College of Johnson City 5-4 in overtime. Saturday in the consolation game, Cobbleskill defeated Dean C.C. 6-5. So in all the books that would have made Corning a 15 point favorite over North Country. Then the roof fell in. The championship game was not what Coming expected. It was close. Corning went ahead 1-0, but N.C. came right back and tied it at 1-1 and it followed the same pattern up to half-time where the score was knotted at 6-6. After that it was all North Country. They scored the first 4 goals of the second half to go ahead 10-6. After that Corning could not catch up. C.C.C, scored two more goals, but it was too late for Corning. What an upset! Jim Sinicropi, and Jim Darcangelo of Corning were named to the All Tournament team. Darcangelo, a high school All-American from Corning East was named Most Valuable Player of Region III.
