They want to sell off spectacular wilderness areas to the highest bidder...give the timber industry the go-ahead to log the last remaining ancient forests...and allow more pesticides in our food, more arsenic in our drinking water, and more smog in our air. Organizers said the "Free The Planet" campaign will use the 25th anniversary of Earth Day to accomplish two goals: to take back Earth Day 1995 celebrations from large corporations that have co-opted events in recent years; and to build a grassroots movement that will demand Congressional action on 25 environmental mandates. "For 25 years we've tolerated corporate greenwashing and Congressional betrayal," said John Bowling, a "Free The Planet" organizer. "This year students nationwide will change that." Interested students and activists should contact the "Free The Community College and High School Team Up For Leadership Workshop —CCC Press Release When Ann DeMember, CCC Director of Evening Services and Community Education asked Cynthia Haigh, EFA principal, if there was anything CCC could do for EFA in return for the cooperation extended by the school in hosting evening classes, Haigh was quick to respond. The high school principal outlined some of the challenges facing members of the Varsity Basketball team in making plans for their futures. She indicated that team members are at the point in their lives when they need to make important choices-that they are facing issues that require successful decision-making. DeMember contacted Bonnie Page, chair of the College’s Health, Physical Education and Recreation Department, and this dynamic trio planned a pilot program-a series of workshops entitle "Leadership for Life." The aim of the program is to work with the team to enhance their leadership skills now and for future directions in their lives. A series of four sessions include: ♦Communication Skills ♦focusing on goals ♦sportsmanship, tips for success in traveling as a team ♦luncheon and tour of CCC. Dr. Eduardo Marti, President, kicked off the first session on Saturday, January 24 with a talk on devel- oping a vision, stressing the importance of having a goal, focusing on yourself to work toward the goal, and also the importance of developing a secondary or "fall back" plan. Rodney L. Ward, project engineer for Coming Incorporated, Inc. and a board member of the Society for Black Professionals, was invited to give a talk on "Culture Shock." Ward also emphasized the need to have a "second" career, citing a cousin who plays for the Jets but also acquired a college degree. The Coming executive emphasized that the teamwork and discipline learned in high school will be very valuable to the EFA students later in life. He said corporations and the business world have changed and now workers function as team players. Ward also stressed the importance of observing and paying attention to your culture. "The way you walk and talk and dress is important and that people make judgements about those things," he said. Vicie Washington, CCC Professor of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, will discuss "Making Choices" in the next sessions scheduled for February 11 and John Polo, CCC Professor in the same department, will present "On the Road...Tips for Success." The final program will include a tour of the College campus with a luncheon in the Commons. The program is a pilot partnership presentation offered by the College and Elmira Free Academy with an invitational speaker from Coming Incorporated.

The event will be sponsored by the Student Environmental Action Coalition, the Student Public Interest Research Groups, Campus Green Vote, the University of Pennsylvania Environmental Group, and more than 1,000 campus environmental leaders.

In response to the recent murders in the Brookline Planned Parenthood and Preterm clinics, students joined to initiate awareness and understanding about violence in women's health clinics. Signs read "Stop Clinic Violence" and "Supporting Life Equals Supporting All Life," and an open microphone gave the participants a chance to voice their opinions. Students at the microphone said women are in danger and the "murder of Lowney was a travesty that cannot be repeated." "It is absurd that someone has to die doing her job and exercising her rights before people come to the realization that something must be done to stop the violence," said another woman.

Love Letters Tickets Make Perfect Valentine’s Gift Spring 1995 Chalkboard Chats Career Development -Press Release For Valentine's Day, treat your sweetheart to a romantic evening of theater while supporting the region's arts - give tickets to the March 18 benefit performance of A.R. Gurney's Love Letters. The benefit, starring Maisie Hougton and Jamie Hougton, Coming Incorporated Chairman and CEO, is in Powers Theater of the Clemens Performing Arts Center, Elmira, NY. The pre-curtain reception for all ticket holders is 6pm. The curtain opens at 7:30pm. The play chronicles the lifelong relationship of two intimate friends as revealed in the reading of 40 years of correspondence, beginning with notes and valentines exchanged in grade school. It opened on Broadway in 1989 and featured a different cast each evening. According to Time magazine, "most noteworthy plays of recent years have been small in scale and ambition, wistful rather that robust. Few have been tinier, or more beautiful than this tender sketch of the bond between two people who cannot live with, or without each other." The performance is a benefit for The ARTS of the Southern Finger Lakes' funding programs. Most of the proceeds will help fund arts programming, individual artists and the region's cultural plan. Tickets (which include the performance and a catered, preperformance reception with music and mingling) are $20, $50, $100, and $250. Call the Clemens Center box office at 1-800-724-0159.

The work exceeds 700 pages (including a 60 page index) and covers television westerns from the early days up to NBC's current "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman". The book has been eight years in the making.

One such person is Ronald Towsley. Ronald is retired from Coming Glass Inc., but he still works for Woodhull Race Track as a pit steward. But that's not what interests me...instead of driving cross-country, or moving to Florida, Ronald is up at CCC every day taking his wife of 25 years to her classes. Mrs. Towsley is in a wheelchair, but don't feel sorry for her, she is also a judge for Woodhull and has been for the past 18 years. While working at Goff Rd. and attending classes at Coming to become a teacher, Judith met with an untimely accident, leaving her to live the rest of her life in a wheelchair. That didn't stop her, though. The citizens of Woodhull wanted her as their judge. When I asked Ronald how his marriage lasted for so long he said, "Love and Understanding." Thank you Ronald and Judith for sharing your story with us and Happy Valentine's Day to you. • • • • • There are two special people that most of us see everyday. They greet us with a smile, a nice "hello", and are very pleasant. I'm talking about Glenda and Linda, the cashiers in the Commons Cafeteria Their sweet personalities make it a much more pleasant experience just waiting in line. I for one, say thanks. Dave Wopat Comes to CCC -by Carleen Lattin Dave Wopat graced the Coming Community College campus with his musical talent on January 17, 1995. Wopat, who hails from Oregon, plays a variety of instruments, including the drums, guitar, and keyboard. He also, plays a variety of music types, depending on the audience. He says his main goal as a musician is to "please his audience." Wopat comes from a large family of brothers and sisters who lived on a dairy farm in Wisconsin while growing up. He currently lives in Oregon with his wife, who is expecting twins, and his 10 mos. old son. Wopat puts on only 40-50 shows a year, but eight years ago he was performing 820-840 shows a year. Wopat says he enjoyed the audience at CCC. It was a typical, fun, cafeteria crowd. He liked the fact that it was informal and fun. Thank you for coming to perform for us, Dave. We hope you come again! CAMPUS NEWS A Letter To The Editor Dear Editor, My name is Chris Callas and I am addressing this letter to all students about the upcoming Student Association election. I want to urge all students to take a few minutes of their time to VOTE on March 13th and 14th in the lobby of the Commons Building between 10-2 pm.. With Governor Pataki's suggested Financial Aid cuts to students attending college, we must fight these proposals. Having stayed abreast on this current issue, I feel that I can help not only CCC students but all college students in New York State by helping to put the power back in the hands of the students. Make a change in your college today for a better tomorrow. Together we CAN make a difference. I am certified, diversified now let's get unified. Remember to vote on March 13th or 14th because a vote for me is a vote for CCC. Thank you for your time. Just Friends? —by Jason Roberts It's funny how people perceive male-female friendships. I have always been one to have more female friends than male out of choice, not necessity or a deep-rooted psychological pot-hole. I found that having an abundance of male hormones around you can really bring out the worst in even the most bed-wetting liberal like myself. You can only talk about The 49'ers so long before you feel like your head is about ready to burst open (kind of like that scene in Backdraft where the elevator shaft blows up.) Anyway. Girls like to talk and laugh. The latter being my favorite pastime. There is nothing better than having a tough day at school and then finding a friend to laugh with at all the fools who got parking tickets that day (I am not being biased; I was a fool earlier this week. I'm and equal opportunity fool-maker.) It's also funny when you hang around with your girl that's a friend and you get "the look" from instruc- tors and others who, just because they saw us walking down the hall together, the invitations for the wedding in the mail. Believe you me, that is NOT the case. Oh, and you get the "you go with your bad self' nod from fellow "xy'ers" 'cause I have a cute girl walking next to me. It's also fun to do the Bonnie Raitt thing to them (okay, I'll give you a second..."Let's Give "Em Something To Talk About. Boy, you are slow today!) In short, it doesn't really matter to me that people think I’ve been pinned down (that was for all the male chauvinists out there with the invitations in the mail) or "gettin' some" on the weekend. What I do care about, however, is that I have a terrific group of friends that I care about and know they feel the same for me. So what if the majority of them happen to have the double x chromosome running through their bodies. I don't care. As long as they can laugh, we'll get along just fine.

(Continued from page 3) Students at the microphone said women are in danger and the "murder of Lowney was a travesty that cannot be repeated." "It is absurd that someone has to die doing her job and exercising her rights before people come to the realization that something must be done to stop the violence," said another woman. Blue ribbons were handed out to passerby as symbols of mourning for Shannon Lowney (BC Class of '91) and Lee Ann Nichols, who were murdered on Dec. 30. The ribbons were not pro-life or pro-choice affiliated, as the rally did not take a definitive stance on the issue. Karen Ray, an activist who participated in efforts for planning the Jan. 22 March for Abortion Rights in Boston, came to BC to lend her support. Ray said she believes that clinic violence is politically based.

The Crier February 14,1995 Page 7 CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS Gary Yoggy’s Radio' Clubs on Campus -by Vincent Beach -by Vincent Beach Two super sleuths and a dummy were the featured performers as the Elmira Little Theatre presented "Another Visit to the Golden Age of Radio" on Friday, February 3 at the Clemens Center in Elmira, NY. Directed by CCC's Gary A. Yoggy, the show simulated the live radio broadcasts that highlighted American entertainment fifty years ago. As is the tradition, Yoggy annually lures a genuine "Radio Age" star to Elmira to recreate their shows with the help of the ELT. Lon Clark, who played Nick Carter, Master Detective for 12 years on the radio waves was this year's special guest. "You all have probably heard of Sherlock Holmes," Yoggy told the audience, "but Lon's 'Nick Carter' pre-dates that show by a full two years." The show opened with a 1952 episode of Edgar Bergen's "Charlie McCarthy Show", a comedy/ ventriloquist act with the dummy ' Charlie as the foil to Bergen's (Frank Kammerman's) straight lines. The cast pulled off the voice-throwing skillfully with the voices of Tom Jackson and Carl Proper speaking for Charlie and the hayseed Mortimer Snerd, respectively. Next up was a first time broadcast of a Sherlock Holmes script, "The Adventure of Hangman's Woods." As Holmes, Lon Clark played the first of his two lead parts :or the evening. Gary Yoggy was simultaneously gruff and jolly as Doctor Watson in this very authentic reproduction. After intermission, many humorous situations occurred in "Suit Yourself', from the old Baby Snooks Show. David Siskin was top notch as Baby's exasperated father attempting to reclaim his wardrobe that's been mistakenly donated to charity. Mia Filipetti played the cutesy Snooks, complete with bows and oversized sucker. Siskin was also hilarious as the Spritzer hawking announcer in the "commercials” that wove in and out of the program's second half. In the show's finale, Clark reprised his starring role as Nick Carter in the episode "The Case of the Murder Diary's Secret.” The sketch used a cast of nine and also featured Carl Proper as the villain Arnold Vincent. The busy dialog was handled well by the ELT players and Clark got a big hand at the show's conclusion. The audience was entertained musically throughout the evening by the steady piano of Ed Clute. Charlie McCarthy’s show paused for tunes by The Boogie Woogie Girls & Company E (Andrews Sisters soundalikes) and Tammy Lynn Cook singing the tender "I've Got A Crush On You." The ever present sound effects of Barney Beck and Bart Curtis was a show unto itself. Overall, this was a tidy package presented by ELT and special guest Clark. At any given moment one could either close their eyes and re-live the radio experience or simply glance around Mandeville Hall to catch the smiles of the audience members. And those smiles were many, as there were no empty seats.

She is also a freelance writer, currently working for the Elmira Star-Gazette. This column dealing with issues faced by Student-run newspapers, will run periodically in The Crier. To bring up an issue, or ask a question, Ms. Gross can be reached in the CLC, Classroom Building Room 207, or at ext 454. Hello. Here at The Crier, we have recently had a small commotion concerning an advertisement that we ran in the last issue. I'd like to explain our editorial policies concerning advertising and opinion so that there are no further questions. First, advertising. Any individual, organization, or group is more than welcome to advertise in The Crier. Our rates are competitive, and our audience guaranteed. We will accept all advertising, no matter what the content, unless it contains inappropriate language or artwork. By inappropriate, I mean swear words and sexual content. The recent advertisement, a plug for Student Association presidential hopeful Chris Callas, who is running for that post against Carol Kingsley, seemed to generate some controversy. To be honest, when Alicia Elwood, The Crier Editor-in-Chief, said that Chris was going to be running an ad, my only concern was that it would not appear that we were endorsing Chris or favoring him because he is a staff member of the newspaper. To accomplish this, we added a disclaimer to the masthead, essentially saying that the opinions expressed in The Crier (including advertising and articles) are not necessarily the opinions of The Crier staff. Chris received no special treatment. He will pay for the ad like any other advertiser when he is billed for it. Any political candidate or club on campus is encouraged to submit advertising to The Crier. For more information concerning rates and deadlines, contact The Crier at extension 339. Next opinion... The Crier also encourages letters to the Editor and articles for submission. Again, we will print almost anything, unless the content contains inappropriate or sexually explicit language. Letters to the Editor may cover any subject. For example, we would welcome letters of support for any political candidate. We would also welcome letters of reaction to events on campus, in the world, or in your life. You, the reader, have the power to shape the paper to see what you would like to see. That is the power of the free press. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, you may contact The Crier Editor at Ext. 339. Or, if you would like to talk to me, I can be reached at ext. 454.

The Red Barons will be playing a dedication game, against Finger Lakes Community College, to the memory of Collette Bierwiler and Leroy "Pos” Holmes. Besides being an avid basketball supporter of the Red Barons, Collette Bierwiler taught English at Coming Community College until her passing last year. Leroy Holmes became the first recipient of the Presidential Award given by the Steuben County High School Athletic Association. He has also become a role model for many of our own athletes. CCC Announces Academic Recognition for Athletes-3.0 Club -CCC Press Release Coming Community College announces the student/athletes who have been named to the 3.0 Club for the fall 1994 term. Student / athletes who compete in an in-season sport, maintain a GPA of 3.0 or higher and carry a minimum of 12 credit hours in the semester are recognized. The following students have been named to the 3.0 Club: Men's Soccer: Chad E. Hetherington, James C. Allen, Terrence J. Schultz & Alex K. Ko Women's Soccer: Kim L. Naar, Kimberly F. Sever, Wendy R. Hann & Kenzie M. Spencer Volleyball: Tanya M. Dewey, Rainbow A. Shaw, Amy E. Faulisi & Kelly L. Keeler Men's Basketball: Becky J. Sutryk & Kim L. Naar Wrestling: Brian Cooper, Josh Moshier & Todd Tillinghast The recipients receive a letter of congratulations and encouragement along with a certificate. "The 3.0 Club is an important way to emphasize academic priorities," said Mary Gail Lee, CCC director of athletics. "We recognize student athletes all the time for their athletic ability. However, it's good to say 'you're doubly-blessed.'" By keeping their grades up, students can be named National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Academic All-Americans. "Recognition for academic excellence is good motivation for all student/ athletes to work as hard at their academic studies as they do their athletics," said Lee. Students Lead National Trend Toward Vegetarian Dieting —NSNS Recent research indicates that college students are leading the national trend toward vegetarian diets. The National Restaurant Association has found that 15 percent of the 15-million American college students eat vegetarian meals each day. That figure hovers closer to six percent for the general population, according to the NRA study. Becky Sutryk is a graduate of Waverly High School where she participated in basketball, crosscountry, and tennis. She is currently in her second season of college basketball after being named MVP for last year's team. Becky's play on the court last year earned her a place on the All Region third team and All Conference first team. Becky has also proven that she can perform well in the class- room. She is majoring in Human Services and plans ------------------- to transfer to a four year college to pursue a career in social work. Women's Basketball coach, Emie Danforth says, "Becky is one of the hardest working players I have had. Her improvement on the court parallels her improvement in the classroom. She has been a quiet leader this year and I am very pleased with her personal growth in this area as well."
