the Corning Community College Vol. 16, No. 12 Thursday, December 4,1975 Stud. Gov’t. Denies Resignation Letter In a statement to the Crier, the Student Government unanimously declared that the letter announcing the resignation request of the SG president and secretary was in error, was in error. This statement reads: “We. the members of the Student Government, regret the actions of our former vice president, Laurie McKnight, in sending the letters requesting the resignations of Rosanne Walls and Mary Head, SUNY Budget president and secretary, respectively, of Student Government. We wish to take this opportunity to publicly apologize for any embarrassment caused by this action.” The letter from then Student Government vice president Laurie Mc- Knight reads: “It has come to the a-wareness of the Student Government that you have missed quite of a few of the Student Government meetings. It is unfortunate that you are having personal as well as family problems, but we feel that because of this Student Government is being hurt. “Therefore, we, Student Government, are requesting that you resign as soon as possible. We hope that this will not cause any bad feelings between you and Student Government but we feel that Student Government has not yet really done anything vital to the Student Body, and the semester is almost over.” “Please turn in your resignation Thursday, November 20, 1975 or come talk to us and explain your plans for Student Government for the immediate future.” This letter, signed by then vice president of the Student Government and given to The Crier, was the basis of the story on the Student Government resignations in the November 20 Crier. It is the policy of the news department of The Cr- Enrollment, Construction Freeze An enrollment freeze and a moratorium on new construction has been announced for most State-operated campuses, according to a report from the Board of Trustees of the State University of New York. Immediately affecting CCC was the moratorium on new construction. A construction moratorium on all new SUNY building requests for 1976-77 halts, temporarily at least, the three million dollar buildings expansion program planned here. According to CCC advising office, CCC does not plan to freeze any admissions this spring semester. SUNY at Buffalo has already frozen freshmen enrollments for its spring semester due to lack of sufficient funds. The freeze and moratorium action by SUNY Board of Trustees came at a time when SUNY enrollment pressure continues to increase with over 85,000 people applying for 35,000 freshman places this fall. According to statement by SUNY Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer, “These vigorous steps continue the five-year consolidation program in which the University cut back construction and reduced planned enrollments, while continuing to offer quality higher education to the citizens of New York.” Also planned, in consultation with community col- leges and private institutions, is a program to guarantee that all community college transfers will continue to be accommodated at senior institutions, and the preparation of a 1980 growth plan which maintains a stable enrollment ratio between SUNY’s State-operated institutions and New York State’s private colleges and universities. SUNY also plans the development and dissemination of guidelines for “a rigorous and periodic review” of authorized academic programs to improve academic quality and “avoid or eliminate unnecessary duplication or proliferation.” Chancellor Boyer said this Trustee action is an appropriate response to a series of dramatic new developments. Boyer said, “SUNY has had more applications and has had to turn away more students than ever before. The Community Colleges have had a big enrollment increase. At the same time the fiscal crisis has worsened and construction must be curtailed. We are determined to respond appropriately and develop plans which make sense educationally and fiscally.” Chancellor Boyer said that most community colleges this year are overcrowded. This dramatic growth, he said, “reflects clearly that thousands of citizens of the state are us- SASU Washington Rally Over twenty students representing CCC joined students from other colleges across New York State in Washington to present the views of SASU, the Student Association of State University of New York, to Congressman James Hastings and Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm in Washington. The group met with Representative Hastings at 3 p.m. Meeting with an aide at first, who was unaware of the position of SASU, the group later met with Hastings. Hastings told the SASU group that the default of New York City will have an impact on the state and on the nation. Speaking on Bill HR50, he said that we will not see it this year. Students at the meeting said that Hastings was very non-committal and that the meeting was disappointing. A rally was held on the west steps of the capital building at 4 p.m., the same time President Ford was meeting with officials about New York at the White House. The group did not have a permit to rally at the White House. Speaking before the rally, Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm said that anti-New York feelings were held by many in Congress. She also said that there are rough tough times ahead for New Yorkers. She summed up the feelings of the rally by saying, “We’ve been down, but never completely out. Fight on, and we will win this one.” Meanwhile, back on the campus, it was business as usual. The moratorium of ing the unique, public institution to meet their educational and occupational goals. This is a welcome development,” he added, “but we must find ways to insure increased numbers of transfers can be accommodated at a time when senior college enrollments are being frozen or cut back. This is an area where the public and private colleges must work together.” Approximately 8,000 two-year college graduates transfer annually to four-year institutions in New York State. About 2,000 of those enroll in private colleges and universities. On the academic review recommendation. Chancellor Boyer noted that the Commission on Purposes and Priorities, in a preliminary report, urged similar action. He said that he will direct that such action be initiated immediately. The SUNY Chancellor added, “All institutions must have a systematic review of academic programs at regular intervals if they are to improve the quality of education. The Evaluation procedures should address the relationship of the program to the campus and university mission, regional needs, and the characteristics of the students served by the program.” Chancellor Boyer concluded, “Higher education is an essential service in this State. The demand is growing. State University is determined to provide quality education while responding to the current fiscal crisis and adjusting to long-term trends.” Timeless- In the November 2, 1971 issue of The Leader, Mrs. Dale Drulis, creator of the steel sculpture pictured above, described the meaning of the art work. She said: “The root idea for the work is one of the family as a fluctuating, ever-changing, rather than static, unit. While the form of the sculpture is contemporary, the concept is meant to be timeless. A statement of past, present and future, having no beginning or end as such but rather a part of a larger continuum. “The three main vertical columns represent the family. The two lower columns, the male father, female mother tandem. The third column is the fruit of that union, the child rising out of that structure toward the future. “The boxlike forms represent the home, the base of the family unit. The wings on the side suggest forward movement and the change that the meaning of ‘family’ is and has been going through. The wings also represent peace (as symbolized by the dove.)” classes scheduled for that day to support the Washington rally never took place. Classes reported regular attendance, and there was no gathering of students to support the ral- ly. SASU supports federal help for New York City, and in the words of one CCC student at the Washington rally, “if we don’t fight on, education is going to become a luxury for only the very rich.” ier that an elected official of any organization is authorized to speak for that organization. The Student Government did not ask for the resignations at the November 20 meeting. Miss Walls told SG that she had been having personal and family problems, but that they were now solved. Miss Walls and Miss Head did not resign. Reading a letter of resignation from Laurie McKnight, then vice president of SG, David Mikel motioned that the resignation of Miss McKnight be accepted. The motion was seconded and passed. The Student Government will discuss a replacement election for the office of vice president at their next regular meeting December 4th. Whittaker Acquitted Jeff Whittaker, CCC student charged with disorderly conduct in connection with the Veteran’s Day demonstration here, was acquitted by Town of Gibson Justice Clayton Robinson Friday, November 21. Whittaker was represented by attorney Ray Roberts. In granting attorney Roberts’ request for dismissal of the charges. Justice Robinson said that there seemed to be a lot of faulty information surrounding the case. He quickly granted the motion, acquitting Whittaker of “all charges and no specifications.” After the trial, Justice Robinson said that he had never agreed with changing the official Veteran's Day date, and also said that had he been a student, he “probably would have been celebrating with them.” Justice Robinson then reminisced about his time in the service in World War I, and commented on the celebrations held by veterans of those days. He expressed regret for the lack of these celebrations in recent years. Whittaker, talkative after his acquittal, said that he was “dynamically unimpressed” with the proceedings. Speaking for the college, he said, “the school certainly backed him (campus security guard Terry Lewis) a thousand per cent.” When asked to comment, Lewis said, “It’s not for me to say. If you want more information, go to (CCC Security Director) Jim Chapman.” Lewis appeared alone at the hearing. A crowd of veterans appeared in support of Whittaker.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1975 Our Side: Whittaker’s "Trial” Jeff Whittaker has had his “day in court” if you can call it that. Supported by people who, he says, cared what happened to him, he has been acquitted'. Therefore he is innocent of the charges placed against him. We are happy, of course, that Mr. Whittaker is innocent. However, there are a few things that should be pointed out. Justice Clayton Robinson, no doubt an honorable man. presided at the hearing. Attorney Ray Roberts appeared to defend Mr. Whittaker. Attorney Roberts immediately moved for a dismissal of the charges. The honorable Justice Robinson commented on the “faulty information” surrounding the case and dismissed the charges. We always thought that a trial justice was supposed to make his decision based on evidence presented at the trial, not on what he has heard outside the courtroom. After the triad, the honorable justice Robinson “reminisced” with the group of veterans who had come to offer moral support to Mr. Whittaker. The honorable Justice commented that if he had been a student, he “probably would have been celebrating with them.” The honorable justice Robinson also regretted the lack of Veteran’s Day “celebrations” that were so prevalent in his day. The honorable Justice Robinson, of course, would not let his sympathy for veterans influence his judgments, for he is an honorable man. It says so in his title. Mr. Whittaker commented after the trail that he was “dynamically unimpressed” with the proceedings. We can see his point. Most fiascos are unimpressive. Mr. Whittaker, in a letter published in this issue of The Crier, mentions the friends who supported him “in the recent fiasco” with campus security. Those friends were far more interested in what would happen to campus security if Mr. Whittaker were found innocent. Mr. Whittaker also comments on Terry Lewis, the campus security guard who filed the complaint. He says that Terry Lewis was left hanging by a group who were worried about anything happening to them. For Mr. Whittaker’s information, when any policeman goes to court as a witness, he goes alone. He does not drag along the mayor, the chief of police and all his friends for moral support. When he gives testimony he is on his own. That is his responsibility, and Terry Lewis fulfilled that responsibility. Mr. Whittaker also comments on the records being kept by campus security and suggests that someone trusted by both the students and the administration should review those records. Not a bad idea. We suggest that since Mr. Whittaker is in such high spirits, he should appoint himself as a Diogenes and carry his lamp around the world searching for such a paragon of honesty and virtue. Read Mr. Whittaker’s letter on page three. It is a fine example of gloating. My 2 columns by 4 inches by Wille Thompson Letters to the editor are welcomed. All letters should be brief and to the point and must bear the name and address of the writer. Any letter that is libelous, or maliciously offensive will be rejected.

Especially those of you who are in the Fool’s Box (page 3). You all need the experience the newspaper business offers. The laughter most of all. You can tee-hee and ha-ha all over the campus when you find you have the scoop before anyone else. The criticism is wonderful. Express your opinion and see who your friends and enemies are. Let me introduce you to your bosses. The fights are great. Just to be able to listen to the Editor is a rewarding joy. She screams better than your mothers ever knew how. You would be right at home. The Managing Editor will be your worst enemy. She was in the business for quite awhile. Then she decided she came here to study. Tch-tch. Find out just what the Associate Editor is all about. He associates, see. He associates coyness with news reporting. The Sports Editor is the one and only. He is damned once a week by the Editor. His lay-out is designed for the birds (so says the Editor). The Editor begs him to get lay-out done by Fridays. But the sport would rather stop the press than obey orders. The Photography Editor is at beck and call. He listens with hurt feelers to “Ma” Wheaton and threat- ens to quit once a week. The Art Director deserves a column for himself. But it must be shortened. His flair for drama has caused the best (and only) door stop to be broken in half. His hatred for neatness is his pride. The Business Manager is the Crier’s cynic. If you say it, he will cynic it. He also decided that he came here to study. How awful! The Circulation Manager is the disgusting one of the Editorial Board. She does her job. She is even-tempered and obeys all orders. She never gossips. She is terrible ... the Crier tries to keep her hidden. So, come join us. The best self-defense course offered on campus is the Crier. Learn to defend yourselves. Crystal Corner By TERI BATES Managing Editor Discrimination in a Couple Organizations One day before vacation I was sitting in Sociology class and I got the idea for my editorial this week. We were discussing prejudices and discrimination. This made me realize that what we were discussing is the same thing that has been happening at the Crier lately. According to definition, the meaning of deindividualization is thinking ill of a person merely because he is a member of a particular group. Lately there have been people that disagree with the editorials written by Gene Mullen. They have been coming back to Jeane and me for what Gene has written. They have been putting us down because they think that we agree with what Gene wrote (after all we are all in the same group, so don’t we all think alike?) Another thing that we discussed was stereotyping. By definition stereotype is an exaggerated belief associated with a category. Perhaps stereotyping is what has happened also. The editorials that Gene wrote about the Criminal Justice Society were based on some of the things that have happened with just some of the people. Maybe he went a little too far because now there are a lot of people on this campus that think that all members of the Criminal Justice Society are out to get a file on them.” Maybe some of them are, but that doesn’t mean that they all are. Perhaps everybody should go back and start all over again. Everybody on this campus is an individual. There are no two people that are alike exactly. Hopefully we can get this campus back to the way it was a little while ago, when if someone said “Criminal Justice Society,” people didn’t automatically think “a file.” And when the opinion of people on the Crier staff did not reflect to the other members of the staff by having their fellow classmates hassling them about something that was printed in an editorial. It will be a hard thing to do but we, the students, can get rid of the stereotype about Criminal Justice and we can make the Crier staff a group - but a group with individual ideas. grab bag by GENE MULLEN Associate Editor My Editorials I have written a few editorial opinions that some people have disagreed with. Some were even offended by these opinions. But I can not please everybody, and I am not about to try. When I write an editorial opinion for The Crier, it is my opinion. I have my own personal set of beliefs and prejudices. I do not need to borrow anyone else’s. I expect to take full responsibility for those editorials. I am one of three editors for The Crier. The other editors, Jeane Wheaton and Teri Bates, write their own editorials and are responsible for them, as I am re- sponsible for mine. We do not always agree, but that is our business. The problem is that some of the brave dispensers of truth and wisdom here at CCC choose to blame the other editors of The Crier for my editorials. They do not come to me. They wait until the other editors are in their classes, under their control, and take their disagreements with my editorials out on them. This is not confined to instructors. Many students in these classes seem to think that Jeane and Teri are responsible for my editorial opinions. They are not. If any instructor, or any student at CCC disagrees with my editorials, I am the person to see. I can be found in The Crier office in Trailer 4 behind the Commons a good part of the day. My picture is at the top of this column. I can be seen around the campus at other times. The Crier also has a letters column for the free expression of opinion. This column is open to anyone who has an opinion to express. Our only restriction on those letters is that they will not be libelous or maliciously offensive. THE CRIER THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4,1975 3 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CCC’s Policy of Anti-Racism and Anti-Sexism To the Editor: There is a great deal to be admired of the College Administration and Faculty and there is a great deal for which I am proud to be called a student at CCC. But I wonder if pride and admiration may not sometimes prevail over what each of us may consider a fault with the manner in which a certain policy is carried out within the educational system. Certainly no one of a decent moral character would argue that the policy is not an admirable one but the character of the problem does not lie within the stated policy but rather the seemingly uneducated manner in which this policy is carried out. The ability to define racism and sexism is imperative if we are to combat these feelings. Therefore, if no definition is discern able and each instructor defines those terms to the best of his ability then what he instructs can at best be only segments of the truth and these segments will conflict. This can only serve to add to the confusion and frustration over the real issue at hand. Because I do not have the time to discuss each definition that I have heard I must take what appears to be the main definition which is being taught. This definition states “Racism is Prejudice Plus Power.” If this definition will not hold water, so to speak, then it can only serve to further frustrate and confuse. Bearing this in mind let us look more closely at the definition and examine each implied aspect: 1. Prejudice Plus Power indicates to me that a minority group without power is incapable of Racism. If someone were to tell me that a group of Black or Indian individuals were incapable of racist attitudes I would have to dismiss that theory as utter nonsense and totally illogical. 2. To combat racism by this definition is to say Questions Aim of CCC Vet's Party (Reprinted from the Corning Leader) Dear Spec. 4 Randy Dounce, I am going to talk to you as a mother because I have two veteran sons and I would say this to them. You were not trying to honor your “fallen buddies.” You were trying to defy the rules. You said yourself it was a small though loud party. If you Remember the Victims If Randy Dounce and his friends want to drink beer in a “small though loud party,” fine. And if that’s their way of remembering “friends that are not able to join us,” fine again. But his glorification of the United States war against Vietnam is not fine at all. Randy mourns the 50,000 U.S. personnel who died there — what about the millions of Vietnamese who were orphaned or widowed, because of our unlimited firepower and our unprincipled terrorism? While we condemn the N.L.F. for their reprisal raids and assassination tactics, we had “free fire zones” for our bombers where any sign of human life was a “war” target. We had the CIA “Phoenix Program” for assassinating anti-government civilians, etc., etc. Randy decries his lack of freedom to drink beer at CCC, yet never questions the denial of freedom on which the war against Vietnam was based. Men were drafted against their judg- wanted to toast your dead friends you could have done so at any or all of Coming’s numerous bars. That way you could have “passed out” in honor of their “passing on.” Next year, why don’t you and your friends visit a church and offer a prayer that there will be no more dead veterans. Mrs. Robert Richards Painted Post, RD 2 ment and will to kill on order half-way around the world, until our “leaders” could devise a “face-saving” method of U.S. retreat. And this in a country that was founded by German immigrants fleeing conscription and English settlers who rebelled even at paying a tax to their “mother country.” If Americans are to draw any meaning from recent events, we must fight the tendancy to “gloss over” the evil of past deeds. And there is no issue more basic than the criminality of the war against Vietnam. It may have been conceived in ignorance or misjudg-ment — but it was waged by lies at home and brutality in Vietnam. We paid a very small price - 50,000 men and a shattered economy. Vietnam lost at least 25 persons for each American death, and its economy is only one of many problems — Vietnam as a country has been shattered by the war. Bryn Hammarstrom CCC ’76 — Nursing that whites must relinquish power and to do so could propagate racism in a reverse manner, assuming of course that minorities are capable of prejudice. 3. The only method by which to convince a people they must relinquish power to to instill a sense of guilt over the possession of that power. This again is not a logical method for being guilty of what you have by sheer number would be confusing at the least. Therefore I can only assume the definition to be false and must look for a deeper meaning that will give a clue as to what the real issue at hand is. The only way in which I can comprehend the term Racism is to say that it is a natural discrimination of all races to prefer members of their own kind. An example of this definition would be that if an individual of a certain race were given the option to choose between two individuals of equal abilities and attitudes, one being of his own race and the other of a race different than his, then there would be a natural tendency to discriminate and choose the individual of his own race. This in itself is a natural attitude for which no guilt can possibly be assumed. If one could live by this definition then he could clearly see that what is happening today and has happened in the past goes way beyond Racism. What it is can only truely be described as a struggle between two races to be the dominate factor in that society. This itself would pose an interesting question. Assuming that a society had an equal membership My Day in Court" To the Editor: Now that I’ve had my day in court, I’d like to thank all the people who supported me in the recent fiasco with Campus security. It would be a cheap shot to point out the lack of support given Terry Lewis by his friends and supervisors but I’m not above that. They need to be kicked down, maybe, it’ll give them the incentive to rise a-bove it. In my opinion the security on this campus isn’t up to Boy Scout standards, Boy Scouts at least get adult leadership and supervision. On my side I got a lot of support from people who cared what happened to me. Terry Lewis was left hanging by a group who were worried about anything happening to them. At least he showed up. It was nice to see him have the courage of his convictions. There is another point to be made here. The whole country was in an uproar when it was found that the government was keeping secret dossiers on citizens. We won’t take that from the federal government, do we have to take it from Corning Community College. The administration has denied that campus security is a law enforcement agency yet they keep their shift records secret because they are for “investigative purposes.” Someone other than the people classifying this information should be reviewing it. I don’t remember anyone believing that Halderman should be in charge of investigating Erlichman. Terry Lewis - A Man Alone To the Editor: At the trial of Jeff Whittaker in Gibson on November 21, I was a little upset to see the situation that a-rose in town Justice Clayton Robinson’s office. Jeff Whittaker, the accused, showed up with not only more than ten Vet’s Club members, and a lawyer, funded by interested friends, but also the Vet’s Club advisor and the Vet’s counselor. Terry Lewis was alone. All alone. No one was there from the College administration, and Jim Chapman obviously was not there. It was quoted by someone as saying that, “The administration left Terry fighting a ‘rear guard action’ after they retreated.” It seems to me, the school made it clear whose rear he was guarding. Why wasn’t anyone there of two distinct sects would it be unnatural for one to strive for dominance? I use the term sects instead of races here to show that if only one race existed by themselves would divide and struggle for dominance. As an example look at Ireland and the problems of religious difference and their struggle for dominance. Or look at Lebanon, which again is a religious struggle for dominance. The only method that may successfully control this struggle by education would be to teach that a natural preference does exist but at a certain point this preference must be tempered by tolerance of these differences. If we were to look at sexism with the same distinction we may realize that the issue at hand with sexism is again a struggle between two sexes for dominance of the society. Bernard T. Todd Corning, N.Y. The review of these records by someone trusted by students and administration alike would go a long way toward eliminating the distrust of students for the administration. If you think these records are as inviolable as the administration would have you believe, I’ll make you a deal on the Brooklyn Bridge. Take it from someone who’s been closely investigated by the government, if there’s information to be had, they will have it. We need some way to insure that this information is correct. At $2 per hour paid to students on their first job I’ve got a feeling that we’re getting what we pay for, if that. Jeffrey R. Whittaker Student to back up Terry Lewis? Wasn’t anyone concerned for his welfare? It seems to me that this should be held as an example to the other Criminal Justice Deputies. If your head on the block for the administration, remember: its your head. Don’t expect any support from “them.” Connie Gray Lowman, New York Corning Hospital Scholarship The Corning Hospital staff are again offering students attending Corning Community College who are employees or dependents of employees of the Hospital, a scholar- ship in the amount of $250 for the Spring Semester at CCC.

DECEMBER 4, 1975 I The Crier Asks | Lately some students on the Academic Standards Committee have been concerned because some students, for a variety of reasons, cannot reach a 2.0 cumulative average necessary for graduation, in the regular time allowed them in their degree programs. Do you think some kind of student drop-out policy should be adopted, which will give each student ample time to reach the 2.0 cumulative average, and drop them from the roll if they cannot. Mike Hable - Sophomore “No, I don’t think that should happen because of illness and unforeseen circumstances that can happen to anybody.” Bill Collins - Sophomore “Yes, there should be a policy adopted. If students cannot get their degrees in the allotted time, with chances to retake courses, then they should be dropped.” Frank Bump - Sophomore “I think that if a student cannot maintain a 2.0 average in four semesters, they should be dropped from the program.” Cheryl Yawger - Freshman “No, I do not. If they feel they cannot make it, then they shouldn’t be here.” Sedlacek to Appear Andrea Haradon - Freshman “Yes, because if a person is not going to work at first, then he won’t do it later, either,." Marcelino Febo - Freshman “Some students might have problems, and they just might not have enough time, yet still really want the education. There should be some kind of policy, though with some exceptions.” Joanne Freman - Sophomore “I think students should be allowed to graduate - even with the lower averages. When they get out and get a job, they might be able to handle it then.” L.T. Holland - Sophomore “I don't think there should be a policy, but I don’t think it is fair for a slow student to take up time that others could be learning in, either.” Student Rights Any student attending an institution of post-secondary education has a right to inspect and review any and all official records, files, and data directly related to students, including all material that is incorporated into each student’s cumulative record folder, and intended for College use or to be available to parties outside the College, and specifically including, but not necessarily limited to, identifying data, academic work completed, level of achievement (grades, standardized achievement test scores), attendance data, scores on standardized intelligence, aptitude, and psychological tests, interest inventory results, health data, family background information, teacher or counselor ratings and observations, and verified reports of serious or recurrent behavior patterns. Such students are also entitled to an opportunity for a hearing to challenge the contents of such records, to insure that they Art Class Offered An art class, AR 183-41E, scheduled for the Spring Semester, is announced by instructor Pete Schelling. The course will include copper wheel glass engraving. The course will be offered in Trailer 1 on campus evenings, two nights a week, allowing individual separate hours of work. Instructor Schelling and Teacher of the Year ALBANY (UPI) - Nathaniel Phipps, a high school special education teacher in Brooklyn, has been named New York State’s “Teacher of the Year” for 1976. The 43-year-old Phipps was chosen for the honor from among more than 100 are not inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the privacy or other rights of students, and to provide an opportunity for the correction or depletion of any such inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate data contained therein. Any questions concerning the procedure to be followed in requesting such a hearing should be directed to the Manager of the office housing the records or to David Frank, Records Access Officer. Under the law, there are restrictions which prohibit the release of use of student records or any material contained therein to persons other than students or persons employed by the College, without the written consent of the students. There are a number of exceptions to this rule, such as College employees and officials and certain state and federal officials who have legitimate educational needs for access to the records. the class members join together in extending an invitation to visit the class anytime. Schelling emphasizes the stipulation of required number of enrollees to keep the course open.

He will represent the state in the natiori- al Teacher of the Year competition. Phipps teaches music for socially maladjusted and emotionally disturbed male adolescents at Brooklyn’s Sterling High School. William E. Sedlacek, research advisor for the Cultural Study Center of the University of Maryland, will be guest speaker here December 12th as a part of the Raciam/Sexism workshop sponsored by Ron Hofsess. Sedlecek is also assistant director of the University of Maryland Cultural Study Center and an associate professor of measurement and statistics. He is the co-author, with Glen-wood C. Brooks, Jr., of “Racism in the Public Schools: A Model for Change.” Sedlacek has cited, as a model for eliminating racism, six stages. Stage One covers cultural and racial differences. Sedlacek says that cultural and racial differences exist and should be openly discussed and approached positively. Stage Two deals with racism and how it operates. Sedlacek says that individual racism is action taken by one person toward an- Between now and the end of the term, final exam paranoia promises to be prevalent on campus. Until recent years, if students needed help in a course, they had the options of seeing an instructor, talking to a friend, or just praying. Now, Coming Community College is offering, in some areas, other alternatives to students needing help in the form of personalized instruction and student tutors. Students desiring aid in basic freshman courses in the social sciences, humanities, and communications fields are encouraged to see their instructor or JoAnne Kelly in the learning lab, room C207. Nursing students wishing tutorial assistance should contact JoAnne Herman in room N306 or the nursing lab, room N212. There are other procedures in the Math, Physics, and Technology and the other with results in negative outcomes because the other person is identified with a certain group. He identifies institutional racism as action taken by a social system which results in negative outcomes for members of a certain group. Stage Three, examining racial attitudes, states that most groups have negative racial attitudes toward one another. Using a Situational Attitude Scale, designed to measure racist and sexist attitudes, was used to measure attitudes of whites towards Blacks in personal or social situations. Results indicated generally negative attitudes toward Blacks. Stage Four explores the sources of racial attitudes. According to Sedlacek, early training, socialization, textbooks, and mass media help to form stereotypes. Stage Five concerns behavior and asks what can be done. Sedlacek says that specific goals should be Biology and Chemistry Divisions. For math students, there are individual instructional materials in the math lab. Beyond these, there are personal resources available. For information, see a math instructor or Penny Smith in room S213. Assistance in technology courses is available through instructors. There is also tutorial assistance in Biology 101, 102, 103, 104; Chemistry 101, 102,103,104,231; and Integrated Science. Students desiring aid in these science courses should contact their instructors. Finally, veterans wishing tutorial assistance in any subject should see Jim Desrosiers. Now is the time to start planning for finals; if you find you want help beyond what you can get from an instructor, please consider these other forms of assistance. set. These goals should be separate from strategies and that they should be temporal. Stage Six continues on the theme of behavior and deals with the question of how it can be done. Sedlacek says that the only test of a strategy is whether it accomplishes a goal. He says that most limitations to change are self imposed. He says that we must be ir-revent, and not treat our institutions as sacred. Sedlacek is the co-author of several works on Racism. His co-author on a number of these works is Glenwood C. Brooks, Jr., Director of the University of Maryland Cultural Study Center. Sedlacek will speak in the Large Lounge of the Commons from one to two P.M. on December 12. The rest of his stay will be spent in conference with the faculty and administration. Convocation and Auditions Mini-Convocation A student chosen, directed and acted play will be performed Friday, December 5 at 1:00. It will be held in the Science Amphitheater as a mini-convocation. The play, entitled “Voices,” deals with justice coercion and cruelty. Actors will be Fran Anderson, Bill Gonta and Tim Wagstaff. The producer is Hank Moonschein and the play is sponsored by the Two Bit Players. Auditioning for “The Crucible” Open auditions for “The Crucible” will be performed in the Small Commons Lounge, December 4 and 5. The play will be presented during the second semester. Thursday’s auditioning will be from 12:00 - 2:00 and 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. Friday’s auditioning will be from 12:00 - 2:00 p.m. Many people are needed in the large cast and anyone interested is encouraged to audition. Previous experience is not necessary. EXAMPLE OF GLASS ENGRAVING - This design, offered by David King, is third semester work, incorporating basic techniques of the prior two semesters. The fish can be given form to appear in front of the foliage. The fish s fin can be given the appearance of translucent suggesting the fish’s body behind it. The design is adapted to go on the bottom of a glass plate giving its image depth while turned upright. Tutorial Assistance Available THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4,1975 5 New Racism - Sexism Course A new course titled “Racism, Sexism and Oppression” will be offer in the Mini Semester in January and in the regular spring session at CCC. The course will be tutored by Ron Hof-sess, director of Anti-Racism and Anti-Sexism. Mr. Hofsess holds an AA degree from Highland Park Junior College and a B.A. and M.A. degree from Eastern Michigan University. Mr. Hofsess has also been a counselor at CCC since 1970. The new course, LM 105, will deal with two specific areas of discrimination and oppression in our culture. It will examine the impact that racism and sexism has on those it oppresses, who it serves, and how it affects us all with special attention to the white male role in society. The course will emphasize Change through awareness and action. According to the course objectives outlined by Mr. Hofsess, students will learn the definition of racism that will help them discover how they have been socialized with many untruths. They will examine the effects of White Racism on their own lives and on the larger society. Students will also learn the cultural perpetuation of “rightness of whiteness.” They will learn what is meant by institutional racism, what being white in America means, the extent to which genocide is happening as a result of racism, and the effects of white paternalism. The students will be taught how they can begin to make changes in our white racist society through a-wareness and action. The course also offers definitions of sexism, the effects of sex roles and discovering who we are, and what it means to grow up male and female in the United States. The course will also cover the effects of sexism conditioning, Institutional sexism and the price we pay, and unlearning the lies of sexism through personal and organizational change by being actively anti-sexist. Also covered will be understanding concepts of oppression; the effects that the oppressor has on the oppressed and how the oppressed feed and encourage the oppressor to be oppressive. The purpose of the course will be to provide students with the awareness of white racism and the effects it has on whites and third world people through looking at the costs all of us pay because of racism. The transferability of the course is yet to be determined. It has the support of CCC president Frederick, The Dean of Students, the Dean of Faculty and the Director of Anti-Racism/Anti-Sexism Training. President Frederick has termed this course “a logical extension of our anti racism sexism activities and contains sufficient theoretical content and applied activities to warrant the credit attached to it. To support this commitment, the Director of Anti Racism Sexism will teach two sections of the course as part of his responsibility as Director of the program. I feel that the course should be offered through the Student Services Division as a Life Management offering.” Textbooks for the course are “Education of a WASP” Future Job Outlook By RONNIE BAYER LIPP CCC Career Counselor Keen Competition for Positions in the Fish and Wildlife Service An increasing number of people are considering employment in the conservation fields. The U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service, has developed a bulletin of information to answer the many inquiries they get regarding opportunities at the Service in a variety of occupations. The following is a summary of the services information. Most positions in the field of fish and wildlife conservation are professional positions requiring a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. with coursework in either fishery biology or wildlife biology. Due to the limited number of openings and large number of candidates. Civil Service examinations for fish and wildlife positions are often suspended for considerable periods of time. During the time that a register is suspended, the Civil Service Commission will not accept new applications for that examination unless the candidate is a disabled veteran or has recently been discharged from military service. The Fish and Wildlife Service employs a limited number of blue collar workers on National Wildlife Refuges and Fish Hatcheries. These are usually maintenance, equipment operators, laborers, and other positions in the trades and crafts. They employ a very - mall number of Fishery and Wildlife Aids. Incumbents- of -se positions a. sist professional biologists who manage our field programs. They sometimes are asked about employment opportunities for Airplane Pilots and Wildlife Photographers. These are secondary skills sometimes required for Wildlife Biologists and Special Agents. They do not offer employment directly in either of these specialities, however. This is also true of a limited number of positions for Writer and Writer Editor. Such positions most often are filled by persons who are either Fishery Biologists or Wildlife Biologists and who also have the additional capability of writing or editing scientific manuscripts. The Forest Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture is the largest single employer of Foresters, and you may write to that agency for information. Inquiries about Park Ranger and other park positions should be directed to the National Park Service. Information regarding specific academic background that would make an applicant eligible for appointment as a Fishery Biologist is available in the Placement Office. There are a number of summer jobs available in the Department of the .Interior through Civil Service examinations. Bulletins of information and applications are available in the Placement Office. Competition is quite keen for summer positions als by Stalvy; “For White Only,” by Terry; “The Choice,” by Samuel Yette; “The Male Machine,” by Mark Sasteau; “Getting Ready,” by Stalvy; “I’m Running Away From Home, But I’m Not Allowed To Cross The Street,” by Burton; “Bedagogy of the Oppressed,” by Paulo Fre-ire; “Unlearning the Lie,” by Barbara Grizzuti Harrison; and “Sexism in American Education,” by Stacey Deraeud and Daniels. This course is offered as an elective and is offered in the Spring, Fall, Mini-mes-ter and in the Summer. The course will operate under the standard grading system of A, B, C, D, and F. Further information on the new course can be obtained from your advisor or from Ron Hofsess in the Communications section offices of the Classroom building. hare First Black President of Student Government Chuck Mangione by CINDEE FREDERICK It has been a strange five years for Chuck. He was a teacher of improvisation at the Eastman School of Music and head of the Jazz Ensemble there. In 1969 he put together a concert with the Rochester Philharmonic which was so successful they got together a year later, this time at the invitation of the orchestra. It was recorded and “Friends and Love” was released nationally by Mercury Records. The album sold beyond anyone’s expectations and actually spawned a hit single called “Hill Where The Lord Hides” which hit number one in Dallas, three in Seattle, and Top Ten in many cities across the nation. It didn’t all come from sitting around home town Rochester hoping for good things to happen. Chuck constantly tours with his quartet and orchestras which are a big part of his presentation when it can be done. On Saturday, December 6, Chuck Magione will be in concert at Straughn Auditorium on the Mansfield State College campus. Time is 8 p.m. and general admission is $5. For more information call WCEB at 962-9330. Two New Courses for January Minimester Two new courses will be offered in the January mini semester, both offering three credit hours each. The first will be HY 100, Twentieth Century Pop Culture. This course will be a study of the impact of mass entertainment (movies, radio, television); popular literature (pulp magazines, comics); popular music and spectator sports on Twentieth Century American life. This course is a general elective credit only and may not be used to satisfy social science degree credit. The second new course will be HY 200, Historic Trails of America. The course will give the student an appreciation of American colonial life and the exciting events that led to America’s struggle for independence and the birth of a new nation. The class will visit and explore these historic places and scenes where the events of the American Revolution and the Constitutional Convention actually took place. The student will explore the sites of the Witch’s Trials of Salem, Ever since the election of Rosanne Walls and Mary Head to Student Government, there have been questions. After they were voted in some white students wanted a recount. Rosanne is very qualified for the job and has been doing it to the best of her knowledge. Mary has worked nights at home on the minutes for the student government meetings. Now because more vital things have come up and Mary and Rosanne have missed a couple of meeting they (Student Government) are saying Rosanne should resign. Are we going to let this happen to our only Black representatives in this school? No. Black students speak up. Write letters to Student Government and the Crier giving your opinion. “They all look alike.” This is something we have heard for many a year. I would like to answer that statement with something Red Foxx has said - We do not look alike we are brown skinned, caramel colored, cream, peach and fudge colored but look a-round at you and your friends you are the ones who look alike you are all white in color. I would also like to convey my regrets on the fact that I Cynthia Dennis, may not have this column very much longer. I was told when I got this column that I could print anything I want in it as long as it wasn’t slander or propaganda. Well I have lived up that yet I can not print poetry or the stone cold truth in this paper. In order for me to print facts I have to candy coat it to make the people happy. I don’t choose to have my writings rewritten in order to candy coat any longer. Before I will submit to this I will quit and if I do I will apologize to the Black Students for the let down and feel very sorry for the White Students who really need this column to open their eyes to life. WAKE UP CCC THIS IS 1975. Student Services Center By JACK KELLEY Director of Student Services This week’s Service Center tip is for students who expect to transfer from Corning Community College. First, you should be a-ware of the early deadlines for applications. Many colleges accept applications throughout the spring for the following fall, but some cut off applications as early as January 15. Even if you’re uncertain about transfer plans, we suggest early application. You can always change your mind later. At least you give yourself the chance to decide. Our Transfer Counselor is well equipped to help you in whatever aspect of transfer you require. We have directories and a new computer capability that can find just about any information and answer most questions that have anything to do with colleges. We have applications for the SUNY system and some other private colleges. If we don’t have the one you want, we can tell you how to get it. Stop in the Student Personnel Office on the second floor of the Administration Building or call 962-9228 to make an appointment to see the Transfer Counselor. We don’t know if you need us unless you tell us. Washington’s Been Doing It For Years AKRON, Ohio (UPI) - A teacher from the University of Akron says the tiny Himalayan kingdom of Nepal may be on the threshold of a solution to all its energy needs. The answer, says Chairman Kashkari, is cow manure. the battle greens of Lexington and Concord, walk the Freedom Trail in Boston, examine the site of Washington’s winter encampment in Valley Forge, and finally, visit historic Philadelphia where both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the U.S. were drafted. The credit for this course may be used to fulfill Social Science requirements as well as Social Science electives and free electives. The college will provide transportation and will arrange for lodgings. The class is limited to 14. There are no prerequisites. Kashkari served as an energy consultant in Nepal earlier this year. He says 180 conversion plants are now under construction there. When complete, they’ll turn manure into methane gas in a process Kashkari says is clean and devoid of any health hazard. Says Kashkari, “cow dung is a natural fertilizer, but now it is mostly burned as fuel for cooking since there is no substitute available. But cow dung can be used both as a fuel and as a fertilizer if it is processed through the plants we recommended.” He says residue from the conversion plants still can be used as fertilizer, even after the methane gas is extracted, and, in his words, “since almost everyone in Nepal owns livestock, the raw material is being replenished continuously without any expense.” 6 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1975 Useless Information Breast Cancer Lecture Held Compiled by DAVE SHARMAN Here we are for another twenty disgustingly useless articles of information.

See you again next week with more Useless Information. Dr. Margene Tichane from Corning, spoke to students on cancer of the breasts: prevention and cure. She began by saying “Breast cancer is most common of cancer deaths in women.” She also cited casest)f men getting breast cancer, though it was much more rare. Dr. Tichane said an estimated fifty to sixty thousand women die each year from cancer of the breasts. This is unusual, since most cancers of this type take from seven to eight years to grow, and there is plenty of time for detection in the early stages. She explained the problem: women who find a lump in the breast, on the average, take eleven months to tell their doctors about it. Doctors are also afraid of lumps in the breasts, and often pass up the breast examination, or pass it off as “something that will go away.” Prompt treatment in the event of finding a lump of any kind in the breast, is the best plan of action, Dr. Tichane indicated. She said doctors use some simple but effective methods of detection, depending on whether the lump is a solid mass or a fluid-filled mass. Sometimes just letting the fluid out of the lump would eliminate the problem, as in the case of a non-malignant cyst. On a solid lump, though, a biopsy, or removal of the mass is necessary. Fortunately, 90% of all breast lumps are not cancerous. Dr. Tichane, after informing the group that she had had both her breasts surgically removed due to cancer, told of the four alternatives when cancer is diagnosed and surgery is indicated. The first is radical or total surgery, which involves the removal of both breasts and all glands and lymph nodes on the chest and under the arms. The second alternative would be a modified radical in which the breasts are removed, but the chest wall muscles are left, giving the patient some chest control. The third way is the removal of the breasts only, and the fourth, though not recommended by Dr. Tichane, is the removal of the cancerous lump only. The detection of a lump in the breast is a simple procedure, taking only thirty seconds to one minute each month, to help prevent needless suffering and death. As Dr. Tichane explained, the progression of cancer starts in the breasts, and since the glands lead directly to the lungs, it destroys the lungs, then moves on to the brain. Then, she said, with all the treatments to be prescribed thereafter, the patient might still only get another ten years added onto her life. To check for breast lumps, first inspect the outward appearance of the breasts to see if there might be anything unusual. Next, the woman should place her hands on her hips and contract the underarm muscles and reveal any lumps in the lymph nodes or glands. Step three involves the actual palpitation of the breast muscles with the fingers, on every inch of the breast. This also involves the detection of “hot” areas, which may indicate the presence of a cancer. Dr. Tichane suggested each woman plan a certain time each month, to examine her own breasts, and do it every month — to save her own life.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4,1975 7 Around the World (From the UPI) Buffalo Freezes Admissions You Tell’em, Charlie LONDON, England -England’s Prince Charles made a few remarks to a women’s magazine that will not endear him to feminists. Said Prince Charles, “Women’s liberationists rather annoy me because they tend to argue all the time and start calling you a male chauvinist pig and frankly, it becomes rather uncivilized.” So What Else Is New? WASHINGTON - Food prices will keep going up next year, but not as fast as they have been. That’s the word from Agriculture Department analysts, who also predict that food prices might actually decline late in 1976, if crops are good worldwide. But for the long term, the next decade or so, they say consumers will just have to live with price instability. Used Coffin Department ALBANY - A state consumers group has suggested that reusable caskets and cardboard coffins be used to hold down the cost of funerals. A spokesman for the New York Public Interest Research Group told a legislative hearing yesterday that existing laws governing funeral operations “Do little to protect the consumer.” Gerald Schultz said present state law prohibits the re-using of a casket. He suggests, for example, that high-priced coffins can be used at wakes, with bodies transferred to inexpensive caskets if they are to be cremated. He also said that there were “wide price dis- parities” among funeral homes. From The Expert’s Corner SAN CLEMENTE. Calif. -Former President Richard Nixon believes the United States suffers from a lack of leadership. In an interview with the Ladies’ Home Journal, Nixon says the mood of the nation is lackluster. The former president says the national attitude reflects cynicism and disbelief. He says that it may take the shock of an invasion in Korea or in Thailand to return the country to reality, says Nixon, “If American lives are threatened, we may regain our sense of belief in our country and our need for strength. We are a compromised country at the moment.” Nixon said about Ford, “He’s okay. Right now he’s too accessible. A congress or a parliament can paralyze leadership.” Surprise, Surprise Altadena, Calif - Members of a Los Angeles County work crew found more than they bargained for when they lifted a manhole cover recently., They were greeted by a seven-foot python, which an officer wrestled into a pillow case pending location of a more suitable home. Burying The Hatchet BLACKBERRY FORK, Ky. - Down on the banks of the Tug River that divides Pike County, Kentucky, from Mingo County, West Virginia, the Hatfield and McCoy families are plan- ning a reunion, and they’re going to bury the hatchet this time instead of each other. The famous feuding clans plan to share a roast hog dinner, symbolizing the end to a dispute that a-rose over the ownership of a pig, a dispute that led to much of the Hatfield-Mc-Coy battling. Monuments to the dead kinfolk will be dedicated, one of which carries an inscription by a blue grass musician who hopes to record a soundtrack for a movie about the feuding clans. Making The Best Of It MENDOCINO, Calif. - A tax collector in Mendocino is taking a taxpayers revolt in stride. The campaign involves sending tea bags to the county tax collector in lieu of cash to protest high levies. Asked what would happen when the tea bags started arriving, acting tax collector Irene Lang said, “I suppose everybody will be drinking a lot of tea a-round here.” Forgot Their Umbrellas ROME, Italy - A Rome judge has ordered 78 persons to stand trial because of a 1970 coup which didn’t quite come off. According to the prosecution, arrangements were made one December night to seize government departments and television studios. Armed insurgents stood by, and officials say one group actually broke into the cellars of the Interior Ministry. But at the last minute, the coup was cancelled — because of rain. BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) -The State University of New York at Buffalo will admit no new freshmen or undergraduate transfer students next semester, due to the state’s budget crisis. Director of admissions Richard Dremuk announced the partial enrollment freeze recently. Dremuk blamed the freeze on “a lack of budget resources.” Dremuk said “all qualified applicants” will be notified of the action by letter this week. He said determination of Graduate Fellowships Program whether the partial freeze will affect admissions next Fall “depends on our 1976-77 budget.” The freeze does not affect the university’s night school or graduate program. But Dremuk said it does prevent night school students from transferring to the day program. He said the university’s 13,445 students represents an over-enrollment of 1500, but a second semester enrollment decrease due to graduation, transfers and failures should balance the first semester overload. The Graduate Fellowships Program announced that a limited number of graduate fellowships are being awarded to Mexican Americans, Native Americans (Aleuts, Eskimos, Indians, Native Hawaiians), and Puerto Ricans who wish to pursue a doctorate and a career in higher education. These awards are made possible under a grant from the Ford Foundation and are a continuation of the Ford Foundation Fellowship Program that was administered directly by the Ford Foundation until 1974. The 1976-77 competition will be .the final year of competition for new awards. The Fellowships are aimed at increasing the number of doctorate-holding Mexican Americans, Native Americans and Puerto Ricans in higher education. Applicants must be citizens of the United States and must either be enrolled in or planning to enter an accredited United States graduate school. Applicants in the Arts and Sciences are required to hold the bachelor’s degree. Candidates for a doctorate in the professional fields (such as law, medicine, education, public health, business administration, etc.) must have received the first post-baccalaureate professional degree. The fellowships are for one year only although they can be renewed upon reapplication. Interested persons should write the appropriate office to request application blanks. Application forms will not be made available except upon request by individual applicants. For further information write to either of the two addresses below: Graduate Fellowships for Puerto Ricans, Educational Testing Service, Box 2822, Princeton, N.J. 08540, (609) 921-9000 or Graduate Fellowships for Mexican Americans and Native Americans, Educational Testing Service, Box 200, Berkeley, CA. 94704, (415) 849-0950.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1975 CRIER SPORTS Wrestling Coburg Pounds Red Barons On November 21st and 22nd, the first ever Corning Community College wrestling tournament was held. Twenty-three teams from all over the East Coast participated including ten four year schools. Cayuhoga College from Cleveland, Ohio won the tournament with 120.5 points followed by Monroe Community College (113.5), Colgate (1073/.), Delhi Tech (67Vfe), Niagara Community College (53>/4) and Corning (50Vfe). The top three grapplers in the tournament were George Ades 152 pounder from Delhi who recorded 4 pins in a total of 9 minutes, Morrell 160 lbs. from Colgate who had 4 pins in 12:57, and Varga 177 lbs. from Cayuhoga, 3 pins in 4:17. The top wrestlers were decided by the grap-pler who had the most pins in the shortest amount of time. Four grapplers from Corning placed in the tournament which saw 254 wrestlers from the 23 schools participate. Joe Onofre took second place at 118 lbs. Jeff Wheeler at 167 also captured second place laurels. Corningite Bill Spencer 190 pounder took 3rd and at 134 lbs. Lynn Reed took 5th. The Barons were hurt by injuries as four of the squads top wrestlers didn’t participate. Among those four, last years regional champion at 142 lbs. Don Bennett, Agent George Harkness, and Jim Wallace. Coach Polo said his team “could have done bet- ter” if the injured people would have been healthier. Polo also said that the tournament was “a real eye opener” as far as his team was concerned as “some people really showed me something that I didn’t know they had.” Polo feels he has a strong club and that it will get stronger when the injured people return. All in all the tournament was very good and as John Polo put it, “It was a fantastic success and next year it should be even better.” The Barons open their regular season Wednesday December 3rd at Tompkins Cortland Community College. Their home opener is a week later against Cayuga. Basketball: After the second week of action, only the Doggers remained unbeaten as they defeated Toby’s Fly’s 44-32 in a heated ball game. Steve White led the Doggers as he popped in 16 points. Tom Nelan was tops for the losers with 14. The Doggers routed the Lakers 101-40 for their other win. Steve White poured in 28 to lead the way again. The Decapitators moved into second place as they romped over the Lakers 68-46 and the Dean’s List 77-50. Dave Sweigert poured in 29 in the win over the Lakers. Against the Dean’s List a balance scoring attack led by Denny Negri and Mike Rahr who accounted for 16 each led the way. The Dean’s List after winning their opening game have dropped two in a row as they have lost three players to injuries. In other games last week, Jeff Stone’s 24 points led Zeppalin’s over the Lame Ducks 67-35. Rich Long had 16 points in a losing cause. Toby’s Fly’s beat the Somethings as Woody Knowles poured in 22 points. Dan Davis was tops for the Somethings with 14 markers.

Steve Personius topped the Foodmart with 12 markers while Bill Steele had 18 for the losers. Morse’s Parkway bombed Mickey’s Grill 88-48 as John Burge gunned in 23 points.

Coburg jumped out to an early 11-4 lead and improved the lead to 23-6 and then to 38-15. The Barons defense was terrible to say the least. Coburg scored at will and completely destroyed Coach Wayne Kenner’s crew throughout the first half. Coburg hit the open man very effectively and their shooting was excellent, while Coming’s shooting was way off. The Barons missed many easy shots. Also, in the first half CCC was hurt by many costly turnovers. All in all, the first half was a complete disaster for Corning and one that Coach Wayne Kenner would just as soon forget. The Barons trailed at the half 51-27. In the second half the Red Barons played much better as they gained consistency on offense behind the shooting of Anthony Giddens, Popeye Jones and Ernie Harvard. But again they were hurt by poor defensive play, as Coburg killed CCC with offensive rebounds. Many times Coach Kenner’s crew would stop Coburg’s initial shot, but they would fail to get the rebound and Coburg would score. Otherwise, the Red Barons might have caught up and made a game of it. The leading scorers for Australia were Yeisley - 21 points, Pedler- 17, and Rid-le -13. Yeisley killed Corning as time and again he came up with clutch hoops to keep CCC at a distance. Coach Kenner’s crew was led by Anthony Giddens with 16 points, Popeye Jones - 15, and Ernie Harvard -10. This is one night Coach Wayne Kenner and the entire Red Baron team would like to forget and lucky for them it was only a scrimmage. The Barons will be out to make a better showing this Friday and Saturday night in the annual Kick-Off tournament. Buffalo Braves’ Bear Intramural Info by GREG TRANTER Any Hot Tips? CHICAGO (UPI) - Chicago mayor Richard Daley says he’s sure his home telephones have been tapped for many years. Says Daley, “I don’t care whether they tap my phone. What I do is an open book.” One reporter told the mayor he suspects the press room phones also are bugged, but Daley quickly replied, “They probably were, especially when you’re‘betting on the horses down there.” You Really Want to Know? WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Food and Drug Administrations says it will soon start forcing the alcoholic beverage industry to list contents on all beer, wine and liquor labels. The FDA says it will take such action even though the Treasury Department recently a-bandoned such a labeling plan as impractical. While no hearings will be held, there could be trouble in Congress where there is a move to take liquor labeling authority away from the FDA. BUFFALO, N.Y. (UPI) -A Buffalo councilman says the new mascot of the Buffalo Braves of the National Basketball Association makes the city “look like jerks” on national television. But the Braves say the mascot, a man dressed up in a yellow bear costume That’s What Sells Soap Flakes WASHINGTON (UPI) -Media critic Ben Bagdik-ian says sex and violence always will dominate commercial broadcasting in the United States. Bagdikian delivered a keynote address to the 51st annual convention of the National Association of Educational Broadcasting in Washington recently. He assailed what he called “rampant materialiam” in commercial broadcasting. He declared, “Never before in human experience have so many people in so many different places been marshalled before a vivid instrument to have precisely the same idea inserted into their brains at precisely the same moment.” The NAEB convention was attended by about six thousand delegates.

For details on the trip call 844-8211 ext. 238, and talk to Lucille Baker, Sandy Rubaii or Charlie McMullen. who hands out coupons for sugar, has “special appeal for children.” The controversy came up at a common council meeting recently. The council claims the bear is advertising and the Braves need prior permission for such promotions. Not only that, says councilman Michael McCarthy, but the bear detracts from the “class operation” at the city’s Memorial Auditorium. The Braves say the bear isn’t advertising, but he’s their new mascot. And besides, the Braves official said, “He’s intended to be a humorous character of special appeal for children.” A Hairy Basketball Team? PORTLAND, Ore. (UPI) -The existence of the legendary creature called “Sasquatch” or “Bigfoot” has been debated for decades. There have been many reported sightings of the creature, which is sort of a North American lowland version of the abominable snowman that may or may not live in the Himalayan Mountains. But one Oregon woman is so convinced of Bigfoot’s existence that she has asked the governor to back legislation to protect the monsters from curious humans. Mrs. Jean Fitzgerald says she and members of her family have seen Bigfoot creatures a number of times the past couple of years, seeing nine of them together at one time. She says they are nine feet tall and have black fur over their bodies except on their hands and faces. Mrs. Fitzgerald says the creatures apparently are not harmful, instead showing great curiosity about humans.
