the CRIER Corning Community College Vol. 16, No. 13 Thursday, December 11,1975 Transfers: No Real Freeze The enrollment and transfer “freeze” announced by SUNY is not really a freeze, according to Joseph Spitzer, career and transfer counselor for CCC. Spitzer said that what the freeze amounts to is a tighter selectivity in the transfer requests. He said that the tighter selectivity would mean that the student without a degree who is not serious about his education would have one more problem to deal with. Spitzer emphasized that the serious student after a degree will have no more problems than he had before. He pointed out that those with degrees and a good average would not find any difficulty in transferring. He also stressed the importance of the early deadline dates in all cases. The early deadline dates in the past were rarely adhered to. Now, because of the tighter selectivity, early deadline dates will be more realistic. The next early deadline falls in January, 1976, for enrollment in the Fall 1976 semester. The January date is when applications must be in Albany for SUNY admissions for Fall 1976. Spitzer stressed the im- Chargebacks: portance of early deadline dates for some special programs. Some programs mentioned were social welfare, occupational and physical therapy, any area of specialized education, and even accounting in some cases. Spitzer said that there is no problem with transfer to private colleges and institutions. The financial situation affects private schools differently. They are in need of enrollment moneys. He stressed that private schools also qualify students for Tuition Assistance Program (TAP), Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) and other financial assistance. He said that these financial aid programs are based on need, and are not restricted to SUNY colleges. He said, however, that most financial aid packages include a loan that must be repaid. The higher tuitions of private schools means that these loans will be larger, resulting in longer out-of-pocket expenses when the student repays the loan. Spitzer emphasized that the philosophy of SUNY is to give every student equal access to higher colleges, including private colleges and institutions. No Real Problem The effect of Chemung County not paying the capital expenditure and operational expenditure charge-back expenses is not as great as it would seem, says Ray Harter, chief financial officer for CCC. There are two different types of chargebacks. One is the capital chargeback, which amounts to approximately $157,000. The other is the operational charge-back, approximately $340,000 for the Fall semester. According to Harter, Chemung County Treasurer Arden Devore says the problem of the operational chargeback is one of cashflow, causing the lag in payment. The capital expenditure chargeback is being pro- tested by Chemung County on the grounds of SUNY’s moratorium on new construction. The initial effect of not receiving these funds would be the depletion of the operational fund. This is the fund from which salaries are drawn. There are, however, 13 more funds from which money could be transferred, assuring no payless weeks for the staff. The most significant loss to the college would be the approximately $4,000 per month interest, lost because the money is not in the college accounts. Another aspect of this situation seems to be a change in the structure of the capital chargeback system and the chargeback billing dates. In Memoriam Michael W. Cassidy, 19, of 286 E. First St., died of injuries sustained in an auto crash November 17. His death came at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Elmira, where he had been a patient for treatment of head and other injuries. Mr. Cassidy, a second-year student at Corning Community College, was injured when the car in which he was a passenger was in collision with another vehicle seven-tenths of a mile south of the city. Bom in Corning February 17, 1956, he was the son of Louis and Gertrude Snearly Cassidy. Mr. Cassidy was a 1974 graduate of East High School where he played basketball and football. He was a part time worker at the Riverside Rotary Station and was a communicant of St. Patrick’s Church. Surviving are: his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Cassidy: a twin sister, Patricia, also a student at CCC, sisters. Susan and Jane, at home; a brother, Christopher at home: his grandmother, Mrs. Ruth Snearly also of the First St. address. Library Open Saturday The Library on campus will be open Saturday, December 14, from 8 AM to 4 PM. The announcement was made by Mr. Stein, head of the Learning Resources Center. This will give students an opportunity to take advantage of the library facilities before the upcoming final examinations the following week. Tap: No Problem This Spring The Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) will not be affected by the SUNY budget crisis for the rest of the academic year, said James Allan, CCC financial aid Counselor. Allan said that the funds for the Spring 1976 semester are already in the funding budget for the program. The TAP budget for the following academic year will depend on many factors. One of these factors, according to Allan, would be the effect on TAP if City University of New York begins charging admissions. SUNY has been a tuition-free institution, funded by the City of New York. If SUNY charges admissions next year, its 270,000 students would then become eligible for TAP. At a minimum of $100 per award per student, this would add $27 million to the TAP requests in New York State. The answer to this, said Allan, would be to increase appropriations or decrease the number of students eligible for the program. Allan stressed that the effects of this and other factors would not be felt until next fall. More Inside The Editorial Board is going through some changes. The Editor resigns and gives the position to the Associate Editor. The Grab Bag editorial is entitled “Cynthia Dennis vs. The Crier.” The new Associate Editor introduces himself.

The established criteria for Who’s Who are above, average student scholarship, participation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, and citizenship and service to school and community and promise of future usefulness. The selection of student nominees from CCC was made by a Selection Committee made up of Nancy Andrews, Beverly Butts, Peggy Brill, Larry Carr, Darlene Charles, Don Creath, Dutch Craumer, George Lampman, Harry Maguire, Steve McGruder, Hank Moonschein, John Orser, Joe Vikin and Bill White. Two of the students selected, Connie Gray and George Lampman, are reporters for The Crier. U. of Maryland Advisor to Speak The final speaker in the anti-racism, anti-sexism series sponsored by Ron Hofsess will speak here tomorrow. William E. Sedlacek, research advisor for the Cultural Center of the University of Maryland will be guest speaker. Sedlacek, who is also assistant director of the University of Maryland Cultural Center, will speak in the Large Lounge of the Commons Friday, December 12, from one to two p.m. Sedlacek is the co-author of several works on Racism. His collaborator on a number of these works is Glenwood C. Brooks, Jr., Director of the University of Maryland Cultural Center. Hofsess has not yet announced the scheduled speakers for the spring semester racism sexism program. Party Security Costs Raised The new policy regarding the cost of security and cleanup at campus events has generated much confusion and many conflicting statements. One version of the policy was that all security guards and clean-up personnel would be receiving $4 per hour for working at events. James Chapman, campus security director, commented that the logic behind raising security wages from $2.50 to $4 was to equalize pay between guards and clean-up workers. Chapman added that with the new ratio requiring one guard for 75 students, the cost would remain the same. David Frank, dean of college services, clarified the matter by explaining that security officers and cleanup personnel employed by the college would receive the $4. Only one officer would be assigned to each event and guards would continue to receive $2.50 per hour. In the past the personnel were paid directly by the event sponsors. Frank stated that often the workers waited weeks for their pay. Now they receive their money from the college, which in turn bills the sponsor. Besides assuring immediate wages, the new policy allows for the personnel to be covered by campus insurance. 2 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 Our Side: Farewell Wille Thompson This is the last issue of The Crier for 1975. With this issue, we find that we must bid a fond farewell to Wille Thompson, The Crier’s art director. Wille was much more than just an art director. He was also our cartoonist, raconteur, bon vivant and resident dingaling. Wille has earned the reputation at CCC of Little Man On Campus. This is Wille’s last semester at CCC. We will all miss him, and we’re not sure why. He will be hard to replace, but anything will probably be an improvement. We did have someone in mind who could fill Wille’s shoes, but he kept spilling his pabulum all over the drawing board. Wille has chosen the nickname of Weird Wille. He isn’t really weird. A little odd, but not really weird. Wille is an excellent artist. He must be; he has said so himself. Some of Wille’s artwork is regarded as classic. We tried to persuade him to do some of this classic artwork for The Crier, but so far we have been unsuccessful. It is possible to see some of Wille’s artwork at various points around campus; if the janitorial staff hasn’t already washed them off the restroom walls. The ladies also have a chance to see Wille’s artwork. We told you he was a little odd. Wille’s work for The Crier left nothing to be desired, except maybe another cartoonist. And we can assure you that Wille did not draw his cartoons on toilet paper as many have claimed. He always drew them on used toilet paper. If you look closely at them, this will be obvious. Where does Wille go from here? Being talented, as he keeps assuring us he is, he has many prospects. One of these prospects is an offer from the Dirty Ditty Publishing Company, drawing the kind of comic books that men really like. We do know that Wille is seriously considering a position at Chemung County Airport. Being well practiced in the art of consuming large amounts of beer, this position would be ideal for Wille. The job requires that he run out and wet down the runway every time a seaplane comes in. Seriously, Wille, we all wish you the best. We know that you will do well at whatever it is you do. jeane’s journal By JEANE WHEATON Editor-in-Chief This is the last issue of the Crier for 1975. It also becomes the last time I will be in the Editor’s position. Gene Mullen is my chosen successor. I will go down the ladder and become the Managing Editor. The Managing Editor’s position demands less time and I can devote that extra time to studying; something I didn’t do during 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. The editors reserve the right to reject or edit any copy submitted for publication. All material on the editorial page is the opinion of the respective authors and not necessarily that of the editors, staff, or college administration. Only opinions expressed in “Our Side” are those of the editors. Editors Note: Two years ago at this time this award winning editorial by former Managing Editor David Game appeared in the Crier. The editorial appears here again by request from “Crystal Corners” columnist Teri Bates. As we approach the Christmas season, I’m reminded of the yule tide saying “peace on earth, good will toward men,” Surely these are simple words, but grab bag by GENE MULLEN Associate Editor Next semester I will take on the duties of editor-in-chief for The Crier. As editor-in-chief I will be responsible for all the feature articles and columns in The Crier. One of our regular columns is “Understand and Share,” written by Cynthia Dennis. In her column Cynthia has made certain comments about the editorial practices of The Crier. It is time to set the record straight. As editor-in-chief, I will set the editorial policies for The Crier. I will do this in conference with the rest of the Crier editorial board, but the final decision will be mine. As editor-in-chief, I have the final say about what goes into The Crier. This includes all columns, including “Understand and Share.” The editorial policy for feature columns is. to allow a certain amount of editorial freedom and opinion. Cynthia has said that The Crier does not “give” her that column and she is right. We offer it, and she will earn it, by writing a good column I know she can. Cynthia complains that she is not allowed to print poetry in her column. This has been a policy of long standing. No poetry, mostly because we would be unprepared to handle all the lousy poetry we would get if we tried it. As of next semester, we will allow a certain amount of poetry in an established regular column. This is not a concession — I happen to like good poetry. Cynthia says that we this first semester. I became Editor with only six articles’ experience. Throughout my “reign,” the paper was published every week. Many feared it would go under. But I surprised them, didn’t I? Time for conceit. The Crier has been called the “best damned newspaper in three years.” So, I did contribute to its status. I have been fibbed long en- ough, and this time it was your turn, folks. Tiring is the mildest word I can use. But I got so sick and tired of everybody concerned trying to suppress the news. This is where Gene Mullen comes into the picture. He will handle the sharp digs much better than me. So long and farewell. The Queen steps down from her throne. Crystal Corner By TERI BATES Managing Editor ’Good Will Toward Men" Cynthia Dennis Vs. The Crier By DAVID the state of affairs that they convey is almost impossible for a person such as myself, a Vietnam era derelict, to comprehend. Let’s take it apart. “Peace on Earth.” At first glance it means, naturally the end of war. But, as most cross-studies of the human race have shown, the human animal is a very competitive and warlike being; the end of war won’t come easily to creatures such as ourselves who seem to thrive upon it. But at a deeper consideration, peace on earth would not need to be overt act, ie. cessation of war, but just the state of mind among people. I personally believe peace begins within a person. Peace on earth cannot begin without peace of mind. people. I personally believe peace begins within a person. Peace on earth cannot begin without peace of mind. GAME And where does peace of mind start? “Good will toward men,” of course. Good will is another ingredient which we, as the a-forementioned human animal, are sadly lacking. The President is moving toward sending troops to Vietnam — four more years? Watergate is still hanging like a pall over national morale, and man’s inhumanity to man still climbs day after day at an alarming rate. So, people, in this Christmas season, remember that you all hold the key to the end of strife and inhumanity - in yourselves. Do someone a favor, even if it’s just a ride up the hill. You have the power, by one simple decision, to be a more compassionate person. Please make the decision; and hopefully by next Christmas, we may see the faint glimmer of “peace on earth, good will toward men.” will not allow her to print the naked truth unless she “candy coats” it. We have never refused to print the truth. We do insist that these truths she speaks of be proven and substantiated. Cynthia also says that she doesn’t choose to have her writings rewritten any longer. We have never rewritten or changed a word in her column. We have printed them word for word, letter for letter. We do insist that certain journalistic standards be met. As editor-in-chief, I will set those standards. If any column by any writer does not meet those standards, I will ask that writer to rewrite that column or I will reject it. As editor-in-chief, that is my privilege. As a responsible editor, I can do no less. Cynthia has chosen to name her column “Understand and Share.” It seems that she expects all the understanding and all the sharing to be done on our side. Understanding and sharing is a two-way street. Cynthia has not turned in her column for this week’s Crier. We have not fired her. If she chooses not to write the column, that is her choice. THE CRIER, THURS DA Y, DECEMBER 11,1975 3 Diogenes Speaks LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Questions Understand & Share Author To The Editor: In the December 4 issue of The Crier, Cynthia Dennis wrote in her article that “since the election of Rosanne Walls and Mary Head to Student Government, there have been questions.” To this, I would like to agree. Questions such as: “Where is Rosanne?”, “Where is our president?, Secretary?”, “Anyone know where Rosanne is?” I myself am Treasurer of Student Government. To clarify the record, I am writing this on my own behalf, not Student Government’s. It was during the first few weeks that it became necessary for then vice president Laurie Mc-Knight and myself to accept added responsibility. After awhile though, things became better. We actually had an executive board meeting ... twice, maybe four times (at the prodding of A1 Paparelli and his various memos). To get to the point, things are straightened out. Student Government is starting to get over inter- To the Editor: In reference to the recent letters from Randy Dounce and Mrs. Robert Richards, I would like to make a few comments. First, I should explain why I am writing this letter. Yes, I am a member of the Criminal Justice Society, but I am not writing this because of my membership in that organization. I am also a veteran. I served in Texas, Okinawa, Korea It’s rolling around that time of year when a certain group of people at our college come “under fire.” It’s the teacher. I wonder if many students really realize the pressure and abuse these people go through. They get it from both ends, coming and going. The stu- nal problems and can now start to serve the student body more efficiently. At no time was there a question of Rosanne’s or Mary’s competency, but their lack of attendance. Whenever the question came up, there ranged answers from “in the large lounge” to “who knows.” The whole matter is now vastly improved. Now what? Well, I would like to ask a few questions. First, to YOU Miss Dennis. Why does it take something like this to get you off your seat to ask for support of Rosanne, and a sudden “interest” in Student Government. I sincerely believe you are trying to create a much larger problem than exists. Namely one of racism. It would have made no difference if the people involved were black, white, red, or purple. Why don’t you ask for a rallying support of Student Government? You say Rosanne and Mary are your only representatives in this school. Why? Did it ever occur to you that all it takes is a petition circulat- and New Mexico, during the years 1968 to 1972. As a veteran, I can not understand how you can disgrace the memory of your “fallen buddies” and mine by using their deaths as an excuse to break the law. As an Atheist-Humanist, I can not fully agree with Mrs. Richards’ suggestion, but a few moments meditation on how to avoid any future tragically, wasteful escapades, would not be a dents are cramming all their overdue reports down their instructors’ throats, and the administration is cramming their “boot” of rules and paperwork up the other end. This is probably why many students and administrators think Con't on page 10 ed and 25 names signed, out of a possible 2,000, will entitle you to run for an office, any office in Student Government. There’s where your representation is from, not from a biased newspaper article. And the rest of the student body, where are you? Nearly all of us pay a $35 activity fee. This year Student Government was allocated $14,000 of the total, over 10 per cent. Can you afford to shake that $35 off and say “easy come, easy go?” I can’t. In closing, there is no sign reading: “Student Government — Whites (or Blacks) Only,” but just “Student Government.” You could reach a lot of students, and urge support for Student Government ... if you were, or are really, concerned about it. Please, next time, check and get your facts and head straight before lashing out, or, if it is just an ego trip, save us the privilege of sharing it through The Crier. Rick Cornell Student, CCC bad idea. I have one other suggestion, possibly for Veterans Day, 1976. Instead of continuing to practice everyday routine, drinking, to honor those who have made the supreme sacrifice, perhaps you could do a little sacrificing on your own part. That is, abstain from drinking for one day, in their memory. Sincerely, Rick Humphrey Corning, N.Y. sentative; Dr. William Thompson, professor of speech, faculty advisor; Jim Kinzer, general manager of WCEB- FM, and Tarby. The Crier is in the process of choosing a representative for the Media Board. Almost to the Bitter End NEW JERSEY (UPI) -About 15 persons watching the movie “Jaws” in West New York, New Jersey, decided they wouldn’t miss the movie climax despite a fire that broke out in the theater. A local firefighter was in the audience. Captain Robert Phelan, who became puzzled when each of those Dear Crier Editors: Indeed you must be editors, for it says so in your titles. You' are correct when you say I was gloating ... at least I had something to gloat about. Your choice of words could have been “success feelings” but who really wants to be picky. If you wish to use words with negative connotations that is your business. Your business is also supposed to be factual reporting. Your putting down of Justice Robinson was uncalled for. Justice Robinson dismissed the charge because of “Faulty Information,” not because of faulty information surrounding the case. The faulty information was a result of using $2-an-hour students to make an arrest. To The Editor: “Hey!” Did you hear about the teacher Bill Crust who uses profane language in his class? My God save us. Did you also hear about Mike Snerd who was arrested for downing Cactus Cooler on the campus lawn? UUH! It gives me the dry heaves just thinking about it. What about the Philly lawyer who defended the infamous Brooklyn Peeper? I hear he’s a commie pinko plus he picks his nose. I thought the cold war was over, but it’s alive and well on Spencer Hill. The pot has been boiling over since the Fall of ‘75 in which many are involved. All out confrontation is on the agenda if things don’t settle FLASH! Yes, folks, total To The Editor: I can hardly see how I’m telling people that I condone the breaking of the law — or how I am both judge and jury. Discouraging the use of marijuana on campus is not ignoring the law, nor is it an example of selective enforcement. My actions in dealing with the smokers seemed to be both appropriate and fair. Handling the situation as I did accomplished the following: 1. It kept the students’ name out of my report. 2. Discouraged those people from smoking marijuana at CCC, and, seated in the front row successively left their seats and stood at the rear. He walked to the front, smelled smoke, and traced intense heat to a fire in a basement storage area. The movie was ordered stopped with five minutes remaining. Everybody got a refund and the blaze was quickly extinguished. If, as graduates of the criminal justice program they cannot write a complaint in a proper manner, that’s their problem, or their instructor’s problem, not mine. As for my guilt or innocence, it was never in doubt. Due to the incompetence of Campus Security, I was never actually charged with anything. As for my acting as a Diogenes, searching for a faculty member who is trusted by students and administration alike — do you really think it would be so hard to find one? To my mind there are a large number of faculty members who are very close to the students without being opposed to the administration. Jeffrey R. Whittaker Elmira, New York warfare has broken out and there are many reports of fierce tongue lashings and surges of obscene gestures. There are many units involved with shots coming from all directions. It’s going to be a long war with so many units fighting, like the Feminists vs. the Sexists, the Vets vs. the Criminal Justice Society, the Puritans vs. the Sac-religious, the Student Government vs. the Student Government, the Racist vs. the Non-racist, the Ropers vs. the Dop-ers, the Dogs vs. the Cats, and so on. I guess this is all a portion of the learning process. Just a thought from: Combat Reporter Rod Allaen, M.I. A** (**missing in action) 3. Showed the people involved that security members are not necessarily hard-nosed in their actions. I accomplished the job (discouraging their use of marijuana here at CCC) with a minimum of grief for everyone involved --the preferred way to handle a situation. Perhaps my choice of words was poor in saying that we “enforce” the law, but it is not ignored. David P.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 The Crier Asks By CONNIE GRAY and CRAIG MILLER How do you like the Racism-Sexism workshops that have been held on the campus? Mike Wieczorec, Frosh., Horseheads - “I think it is worthwhile to make people aware of the women’s views today.” David Cary, Frosh., Elmira - “It’s a good idea, so people have a chance to find out about it who don’t know much a-bout it.” Kevin Watkins, Frosh., Ithaca - “If you could get a majority on campus into it, it might be worthwhile. In time, more people could get interested in it, and it will be better.” Ray Poggensee, Frosh., Bath - “I think they are good, but there are too many of them. We are paying for an education, and I think we should have a say in what we get.” Musical Organizations Kim Young, Frosh, Horseheads - “They are informative, but I haven’t seen any results on campus as of yet.” Kathy McGarrity, Frosh, Elmira - “I like them. I think they are effective.” Ron Jones, Soph., Elmira - “It is important in order to give everyone a better understanding of what’s happening. I hope it can be continued.” Lynn Webster, Frosh., Elmira - “I believe they are excellent for the growth and expansion of one’s mind.” CCC Veterans’ Association The formation of a new organization on campus has been announced by Dana Keeler and Jim Des-rossiers. The new organization will be named the Corning Community College Veterans’ Association. Desrossiers, who is Veteran’s Counselor at CCC, will be the Chairperson for the new Organization. Keeler will be vice chairperson. The positions of secretary and treasurer are to be filled by elections at a future meeting of the organization. The purpose of the Veterans’ Association will be to provide assistance to veterans in problems they encounter as students at CCC. The association will also provide an educational vehicle to inform veterans of their benefits and rights. The new group will also establish an information center to keep veterans abreast of current legislation affecting them. The membership of the Association will be composed of all veterans who have served at least 90 days on active duty in the Armed Forces of the United States and who are attending CCC. Meetings for the Association are planned for at least once a month while full semester classes are in session. Veterans interested in active participation in the new Veterans’ Association should contact Jim Desrossiers in the Administration building, or Dana Keeler in the Vets Club office in the Commons. Streetwalkers by CINDEE FREDERICK Streetwalkers, as a performing unit, have existed only a few months. However, in that short time, they have already created a sensation. Even though Streetwalkers are a new band, its roots extend back into the middle sixties. The British band was then known as Family. It was there that guitarist Whitney and low-voiced Chapman formed the partnership that eventually developed into Streetwalkers. After seven very eventful years Family split. The final blow was apparently when a projected tour of the States with Deep Purple fell through because of band and record reticence. But Chapman and Whitney in July of 1973, decided to continue together. In less than a year the duo came up with an album titled, “Chapman-Whitney Streetwalkers,” a fine collection of music. The pair did much to promote the album with a pickup band - featuring Bobby Tench on vocals and guitar. However, record company problems soon ended that version of Streetwalk- ers. Despite the false start Chapman and Whitney decided they should form a permanent Streetwalkers band. Approaching Tench they were surprised he accepted with no doubt. After many auditions, apparently very unrewarding, the trio almost lost hope. As they ended their search they found bassist Jon Plotell and drummer Niko. The band, now complete, was anxious to record an album and prepare for a short series of live concerts. Chapman looks to the future of the band with a mock-jaundiced view. “Albums, promotional gigs, tours, may be America -the same old merry-go-round.” But even this irony cannot disguise the fact that Streetwalkers have tremendous potential as a band. Streetwalkers already have the aura of success about them and it must only be a matter of time before they continue along the distinguished trail originally blazed by the illustrious Family. This coming semester will bring a wider spectrum of musical activities. Band and Chorus will be held at a new time, and a recorder group is being scheduled. Music Guild will remain in its present time slot. Band will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. All those interested should see either Dr. Hudson or come to S010 for Band. Many instruments will be provided by the college. Band can be taken with or without credit. Chorus will be held Mon- by DAVE SHARMAN days, Wednesdays and Fridays at 11 a.m. All people interested should contact Dr. Hudson. There are no “tryouts,” the only requirement is a desire to sing. Chorus can be taken with or without credit. The Recorder Group will meet Mondays at 1 p.m. in L106. This group will be divided into two parts. A beginning group for learners will be established. The second group will be for people who already know how to play. Your own recorder will not be needed. This group will not be for Intern Program The announcement of a new administrative intern program has been made by Ron Hofsess, director of an-ti-racism-sexism at CCC. The new program will start with the spring 1976 semester. The program is the implementation of an idea generated by the CCC Inter-Racial -Steering Committee. The committee said that most educational leaders are aware of the inequality of opportunities that exist for women and minorities in higher education. Discrimination against these groups is still overt and socially acceptable within the academic community, they said. The objectives of the program are to provide a chance for women and minorities to gain administrative experience in order to overcome the historical lack of mobility that has existed for these groups. The program will train two persons for one semester in work at the administrative level. The first semester will be a pilot project, with the intention of extending the program for a full academic year. The program will also provide women and minorities with a planned experience of working closely with administration that would result in development of administrative capabilities in many management and budget areas, as well as program planning, supervision, coordination, personnel and evaluation. The program will also develop skills and knowledge necessary to understand the internal structure and resources of Corning Community College. It will also introduce problem-solving techniques which can be applied to specific situations that women and minority administrators will encounter during the internship. It will introduce skills necessary to overcome overt and covert discrimination at the administrative level in the institution. The program will be known as CCC Administrative Internship Pilot Program. The two persons to be selected have not yet been announced. credit. Music Guild meets Wednesdays at 1 p.m. in L106.

Capital’s Xmas Tree WASHINGTON (UPI) -The Agriculture Department says a 41-foot balsam fir grown in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan’s upper peninsula will become this year’s Christmas Tree for the national capital grounds. A spokesman said the tree will be displayed on the Michigan capital grounds in Lansing before being taken to Washington on December 8. Future Job Outlook By RONNIE BAYER LIPP CCC Career Counselor Pros and Cons of Overseas Employment There are many who dream of the joy and adventure of working outside the U.S. The pros and cons of working and living overseas will be outlined so you can decide if being a-broad is for you. First, in terms of money, special premiums and fringe benefits often make it possible for you to earn more than you could in the U.S.; and you pay no U.S. taxes on earned income if you’re out of the country for one full calendar year, plus some foreign locations have a lower cost of living than here. However, some foreign countries charge higher taxes and living expenses can be higher in some locations. For example, it will cost 45% more to live like you do at home when in Paris. Then, which company you work for is quite significant. Larger companies which have had activities in the overseas country for a while will usually have better opportunities, understand your needs better, and be less likely to terminate your job because they can’t manage the project. Learning a foreign language and customs, having a community of Americans around, being safer because of a lower crime rate, becoming involved in recreational and sightseeing activities axe some other rewards for living abroad; but be prepared for culture shock and the possibility that a particular country might be indifferent or unfriendly to Americans. People considering jobs overseas must learn a great deal about the company they plan to work for, the country in which they’ll be living, and their personal (and perhaps family) needs before making a commitment.

But Cohen said that none of the feathered friends had been sighted since he had put up more than 100 fake snakes on the windowsills and ledges of the Outlet Barn, a three-story building on River Street in Glens Falls. The realistic appearing, green-colored rubber snakes are about 18 inches long and have been nailed in place so that they hang partially over the edge of the ledges and windowsills, thus adding movement in the wind. They cost Cohen about 50 cents each and he said that if it rids the building of the pigeons the cost will be cheap. Said Cohen, “I know they scare me. I hope they scare the pigeons.” FBI To Sell Rosenberg Files The FBI says the sons of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg can have nearly 30,000 pages from its files on the investigation of their parents, but the material has a hefty price tag: more than $23,000. The two sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol, won the right to obtain the materials in a court based on the Freedom of Information Act. The Rosenbergs were executed in 1953 after conviction on charges of giving U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviet Union. The Meero-pols have since taken the name of their adoptive parents. A Justice Department spokesman said if the Meeropols do not pay the fee in a reasonable time, perhaps a day or two, the FBI will offer the files to anyone who will pay it. The Freedom of Information Act provides that government agencies may World charge "search fees” based on the time spent" gathering and evaluating documents. FBI Director Clarence Kelley told the Meeropols’ attorney that the fee includes a $20,458 fee for searching for the documents. The remaining charge, $2,542, is for making copies. Rip-Off Attorney General Louis Lefkowitz has charged major colleges in the state with playing an unwitting role in helping promoters of a discount scheme. He said the plan has victimized merchants in a phony advertising campaign promising discounts to their students. Lefkowitz said State Supreme Court Justice Harry Frank has signed a show cause order requiring National Students Savings Card Company to appear in court and show why they should not be kept from fraudulent and illegal business practices. Lefkowitz said he is seeking full restitution for defrauded merchants. The Attorney General said an affidavit shows that the firm got the endorsements of local colleges for a plan in which the company would furnish students a card entitling them to discounts at participating local business establishments. Sales representatives blanketed the area soliciting local merchants to buy for $250, paid in advance, a listing and space on “Students Cards and Manuals,” which were to be prepared and supplied to the schools. He said complaints to his office indicated that the company and its promoter, after collecting as much as they could in a given area, would move to another school area, never preparing the manuals or cards for the first school, and then repeat the operation. Among the schools where the scheme was us- ed were Manhattan College, Cornell Medical School, Fordham University, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. A Real Policeman At Work An unarmed sheriff’s lieutenant put on a display of icy nerves in Fern Park. The officer walked into a bowling alley and persuaded a masked gunman to release three hostages and surrender. Lieutenant Roy Hughey later said he told the gunman, in his words, “He was making matters worse by holding hostages — and how worthless it all was.” Let’s Get Selling James Gray is a man who knows machine tools. And as executive vice president of the National Machine Tool Builders Association, he says more aggression is needed from the U.S. machine tool industry if it wants to do a better marketing job. Gray says the industry is much too complacent over a steady but modest rise in its dollar sales. He says that once price inflation is deducted the latest sales figures are just slightly behind those of the industry’s last really big year, 1967. Counting domestic sales, U.S. machine tool builders made up one-third of the world’s output in the mid-1960’s. Now the figure is closer to 20 per cent. Gray is inclined to believe that it is a weak marketing strategy, not the failure of technology, that has caused the shrinkage of the U.S. share of the total world market. And he says that if the trend is to be reversed companies are going to have to become more aggressive in their sales methods. Jehovah’s Witness Teacher Fired A kindergarten teacher in Warren County is charging her district with religious discrimination. Claudia Bein was fired last week by Warrensburg school Officials who say her religion prevents her from teaching curriculum. Miss Bein has been a teacher for three years and a Jehovah’s Witness for the past year. She was told last week that she was fired effective December 31. District Superintendent Edward Huntington said the firing was prompted by the complaints of several parents. He said that, as a Jehovah’s Witness, Miss Bein could not lead such fundamental kindergarten activities as singing Christmas carols or pledging allegiance to the flag. Miss Bein admitted she did not participate in these activities, but said a teacher’s aid in her classroom handled them. Huntington said, however, that merely by not participating the teacher was imposing her religion on her students. A spokesman for the New York State United Teachers, which is representing Miss Bein, said papers are being drawn up and that within two weeks a formal complaint will be lodged with the Federal Equal Opportunities Commission. A Lack of Osculatory Gratification DETROIT, Mich. (UPI) -Kissing her husband just wasn’t the same after a dental operation left Clare Tomie’s lower lip and jaw permanently numb seven years ago. To make up for the lack of sensation, a circuit court jury in Detroit awarded the 31-year-old Mrs. Tomie $250,000 in her suit against a group of oral surgeons. The whole thing was a strain on husband Frank. For him, there was another $15,000. Lost One APF Mark 25 pocket calculator. Reward. Contact Steve Mizzoni at 936-9423. Heisman Trophy is Something Special The Heisman Trophy has always been something special because only special players win it and this year is no exception. Archie Griffin is someone special, just ask his teammates or Coach Woody Hayes. Hayes is Archie’s number one booster. “If anything, he’s to modest,” says the veteran Ohio State coach. “He’s the greatest ballcarrier we’ve ever had. He runs with both speed and power. I’ve never seen a team more eager to see him get 100 yards each game. Archie is relieved that the suspense if finally over. He gives full credit to his Buckeye teammates. “This is for the whole team,” says Archie, “maybe my name is on it, but I couldn’t have done it without the other guys.” Griffin is a 21 year old senior from Columbus, Ohio who did not have as spectacular a season statistically as he did a year ago when he won the Heisman Trophy for the first time. This year he gained 1,620 yards, but was unmatched for consistency. The five nine, 184 pound tailback extended his NCAA record for most consecutive games of 100 yards or more rushing to 31. That streak ended in the final game a-gainst Michigan. But his more than 13-hundred yards for a just over 123-yard average was seventh best in the nation. And his four-year regular season total of five-thousand-177 yards rushing makes him the first player ever to top five-thousand yards. Cornell’s Ed Marinaro had the previous career record of four-thousand-715 yards, although his total was accumulated over a three-year period. It marks the fourth year in a row that the Heisman Trophy was won by a running back. THE HUMBER ONE KILLER OF YOUNG AMERICANS IS YOUNG AMERICANS. You don’t mean to be. But you are. The numbers are simple. Latest available figures show that 8,000 American people between the ages of 15 and 25 died in alcohol related crashes. And almost all the drunk drivers who caused those crashes were also under 25. 1,380 died in combat. 3,420 committed suicide. 2,731 died of cancer. It’s incredible, but one of the most dangerous things you can do is to have a few bottles of wine with friends and drive home. You can change it. You have to. You march against war. You fight for clean air and clean water. You eat natural foods. You practice yoga. You are so much for life. And you are so much against killing. It would be unthinkable for you to kill another human being on purpose. So then, why is this happening? j WASHINGTON, D.C. 20013 I I don’t want to get killed and I don’t J want to kill anyone.

I feel very qualified for this job. After writing Useless Information writing editorials should come naturally. I was asked to write a short biography about myself so that come next semester you will know something about the person making cynical comments about you. I was a student at Coming East High School. While I was there I was a criticism editor for the school paper. Besides parties I was actively involved in very few things in high school. My personal interests include music, sports, and having an all-around good time. While I am anxious to start at this new position, I realize that I cannot follow in Gene Mullen’s footsteps. You can still read Gene’s wave-making comments in The Crier. In parting I would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 Vet's Notice A warning and reminder for veterans who have not yet pre-registered has been issued by Jim Des-rossiers, Vets Counselor at CCC. Desrossiers says that if you have not yet pre-registered for the spring semester, your VA benefits will be discontinued as of December 19, 1975. Any monies received after that date will be an overpayment and collection procedures will be initiated by the Veteran’s Administration. “So save yourself,” says Desrossiers, “the college and the VA a hassle by pre-registering NOW.” The charge for late preregistration is $10. Desrossiers also suggests that if you will not be at home to collect your checks in January, you should make arrange- ments with a relative or good friend to be there, or make arrangements to have them delivered to you or held by the Post Office. By failing to do this, you risk the possibility of having your check returned, causing more delay. Desrossiers also says that many VA loans have not been repaid. Failure to repay these loans, he says, may result in the following action: 1. No continued extension of credit for tuition or other expenses for any semester. 2. Institution of collection proceedings, including the use of a collection agency. Desrossiers urges all veterans to hurry and get their pre-registering done, and to get their VA affairs in order.

It is the constant clash between the virtuous feelings and lip service rendered the cause of ecology and the pathetic lack of common courtesy. Shown by these same slobs who can’t find the time necessary to carry their garbage 20 feet to the nearest receptacle in the Commons. The Commons in effect is supposed to belong to the students at CCC. But I begin to wonder whether or not these self-proclaimed saviors of the world who gather to solicit and volunteer their views to the great problems of the word are worthy of the education they are receiving. For upon finding a final solution to the Ecology problem, namely to clean up the mess, they almost undoubtedly will get up and go, leaving behind their own pollution for others to enjoy. What really bothers me is that when I realize that one of these persons could feasibly be a world leader, I also recognize that he will be no better than those he opposed for he lacks two attributes necessary for the character of a leader: Namely patience and courtesy. And without these two virtues the world can only remain a mess. I am a student at CCC and as such I have every right you do to the Commons and when you leave your garbage behind you, it is a slap in my face. While I may not personally care what you do or think about me, when you slap my face, I tend to slap back. I would not attempt to write this view unless I were positive others shared my feelings and I ask them to join me in telling you who are guilty of this act to either clean up or stay out. For we wish to enjoy the Commons as the Commons - not the pigsty you wish to make it. Three Fates - Richard Simons, a former student of CCC, constructed the Three Fates. It is made of welded reinforced rod covered with concrete. Simons finished the sculpture during the summer of 1964. He built it as a work/study project. The hands clasped with the statues in a circle signifies continuity and movement in the ever-changing roles of life. Simons also has other pieces and drawings displayed in the Library. The Decathlon, the sculpture in the gym area, was also Simons’ project. The work remained unfinished because Simons was summoned into the service. He was killed while in the service. Mr. Ringsmuth of the Art Department is in the process of finishing the sculpture.

Mrs. Kathleen Marcucci of Davis Rd., South Coming, has been named to the board to succeed Robert B. Rasmussen who resigned to accept a post as vice president of Union College in Schenectady. Mrs. Marcucci was named Monday by the Coming School District Board of Education. She becomes the third new CCC trustee in recent months. Dr. Vincent J. Sementilli was named to the board replacing John Eberenz who asked not to be reappointed, while William White was recently elected as the first student trustee under terms of a new state law. Mrs. Marcucci is a 1975 CCC graduate and is now a full-time student at the School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University She is a past president of the South Corning-Caton PTA and was assistant South Central District director for the New York State Congress of Parents and Teachers, Inc.

She is a member of the Cornell chapter of the American Society for Personnel Administrators. Her husband, Frank, is division controller for Steuben Class Division of Coming Glass Works. The Marcucci’s have two sons, one a senior at West High School and the other, a ninth grader at CFA. Used Gar Department As we drive around our crowded parking lots looking for a place to park, one question crosses our collective minds. Where the h*** did all these cars come from? In our never-ending quest to serve the public, we have gone to great lengths and have spared no expense to answer this question for you. Actually, we went over to the library and checked out a book. After much diligent reading (and looking at pictures) on your behalf, we think we have found the answer. And many more questions. First the questions: One: When was the first car built? Two. When was the internal combustion engine first used in an automobile? Three: When was the first American Gas-driven car built? Four: When was the first road race in America between power-driven road vehicles? Five: When was the first Cadillac built? Six: When was the first rotary engine used? Seven: What American car was the first to have an all steel body? Eight: How did the Chevrolet get its name? Nine: When was the first Packard built? Ten: When was the Ford Model “T” introduced? 11: What was one of the smallest motor vehicles made? 12: What was the first racing car to exceed 100 miles per hour? 13: When was General Motors started? 14: What were the three main methods of propelling automobiles? The chances are that you’ve already peeked at the answers, but in case you haven’t, they start here. One: The first known “car” was a steam driven vehicle built in 1769 by a French engineer, Nicolas Cugnot. It was a three-wheeler, with a boiler and a two-cylinder engine mounted over a single front wheel. It reached the dazzling speed of three miles per hour. It was so difficult to steer that Cugnot ran into a wall — and was arrested. Two: In 1860 another Frenchman, Etienne Lenoir, patented an internal combustion engine driven by illuminating gas. In 1863 he constructed a road vehicle powered by his device. It had one cylinder and developed 1.5 horsepower at its top speed of 100 rpm. The car was so slow it took an hour and a half to go six miles. by GENE MULLEN Three: In Springfield, Mass. in 1893, two brothers, J. Frank and Charles Duryea fitted a one-cylinder engine into a carriage with high wooden wheels. It looked so much like a horse-drawn buggy that they called it a “buggyaut.” Four: In 1875 the Wiscon-son Legislature offered a prize of $10,000 to anyone who could invent a practical power driven vehicle that could pass certain requirements. A race was held between the only two that were built for the competition. After taking a whole week to cover the 200-mile course from Madison to Green Bay and back, the Legislature a-warded only half the prize to the winner. They were not impressed with its performance. Five: The first Cadillac, a one-cylinder job, was built in 1902. They were well-constructed and some were still in use as late as 1918. Six: One of the first was called a “hub” motor, a rotary engine mounted directly on each wheel so that gears, drive shafts and clutches were not needed. They never got out of the experimental stage. Seven: Dodge introduced the first all-steel body in 1914. General Motors was the first to adopt an all-steel top for closed cars in 1934. Eight: The Chevrolet was named after its first designer, Louis Chevrolet, a famous race driver of his day. The Chevrolet Model “C” was introduced in 1912 and sold for $2100. Nine: In 1899 the Packard Company was started in Warren Ohio by J.W. and W.D. Packard. Their first car was called the “Ohio.” That same year the company moved to Detroit and the name was changed to Packard. Ten: The Model “T,“ nicknamed the “Tin Lizzie,” was first advertised in 1908 at a price of $850. 12 million were sold before production stopped in 1925. The style had not changed and the price had dropped to $290. 11: The smallest motor driven vehicle was invented in 1906. Alphonse Con-stantini invented a pair of motor-driven roller skates, and they worked. With both skates going, they could reach a speed of 40 miles an hour. 12: In 1905 Arthur MacDonald drove something called a Napier at a speed of 104.6 mph. Later that same year, H.L. Bowden drove a Mercedes at 109.7 mph. 13: General Motors was incorporated in New Jersey on September 16, 1908. Buick, Oldsmobile and Oakland became the first GM cars. Cadillac joined in 1909, and Chevrolet entered the fold in 1918. GM introduced Pontiac in 1926. 14: The different makes of cars in the U.S. has been estimated at over 2,000. One of the earliest, Cadillac (1902) is the only one still with us that has been in continuous production. 15: The three most popular methods of propulsion were gasoline, steam and electricity. We have chosen to go with gasoline, but a Stanley Steamer reached a speed of 127.7 mph in 1906, a record for that year. The electric cars were a-bandoned as impractical, probably because the extension cords were too short. And that’s it for now. Be sure to watch for next year’s model. This wealth of Knowledge was based on “A Pictorial History of the Automobile” by Philip Van Doren Stern, which was based on information from “Motor Magazine,” which started publication in 1903. ERA I never knew femininity to be such an elusive thing. That its eternal flight, a bill of equal rights could bring. Equality would break apart the family structure on this subject, the opposition loves to lecture. To draft the damsels of our races would be the ultimate of all disgraces. The draft a prison it would be, but then again, might set us free. Showing us we’re human being, without a husband’s constant overseeing. They say the common toilet law would be the downfall of us all. As for me, I’ve always yearned to see, what’s writ upon their bathroom wall. WATERTOWN, Mass., December 7 — The Massachusetts Bay Council decided to commission three owners of the Boston Revenge to operate the vessel as a chartered privateer. The ship was authorized to seize all vessels supplying the British and was the first to be bonded by the Colony. NEW YORK, December 8 — Royal Governor William Try-on claimed he had been successful in Bribing three of the four remaining gunsmiths in the Colonies to go to England for the duration of the conflict. He said he had promised them a travel allowance and assured them of jobs at the Tower of London. In Cambridge, Massachusetts, General George Washington ordered Connecticut troops leaving the service be mustered for review so that any arms useful to the army might be confiscated. He instructed officers to keep the plan secret to prevent the men from hiding their weapons. GREAT BRIDGE, Va„ December 9 — British loyalist attacking Virginia troops surrounding a fort at Great Bridge were defeated. After a 30-minute fight, 62 of the British soldiers were dead, including their commander, Captain Fordyce, and one patriot was slightly wounded. At Newport, Rhode Island, The British warship Glasper fired at a small boat in the harbor but the shot miscarried into the town. The nine-pound shots sailed over the head of about 20 Rhode Islanders gathered at the wharf but none was harmed. JAMESTOWN, R.I., December 10 — 200 British marines and sailors from the warship Rose raided Jamestown, leaving several local militiamen dead or wounded and a large number of houses in flames. Beds and personal belongings were carried off with the cattle, sheep and hogs. General Henry Knox struck a snag in hauling captured cannon and mortar from Fort Ticonderoga to the American Army in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The boats he was using were smashed on submerged rocks and sank with the artillery pieces. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 11 — Martha Washington arrived to spend the winter with her husband. The General ordered his general officers to set an example by attiring themselves in proper uniform but to avoid “costly or expensive regimentals.” In London, the House of Commons widened the growing breech with the Colonies by passing the Prohibitory Act by a vote of 112-16. The legislation was designed to halt all trade in America from overseas. DUNCAN’S CREEK, S.C., December 12 — The Patriot force of 13,000 under Colonel Richard Richardson marched farther into the South Carolina frontier, capturing backwoodsmen and tories loyal to the British. One of them was Colonel Thomas Fletchnall, a leader of the loyalists at ninety-six, who had hidden himself in a hollow sycamore tree. QUEBEC CITY, Canada, December 13 — Small bands of Americans began marauding in the Canadian countryside, looting bedding, livestock, clothing, silver and other property of known tories. One participant told of shooting or carrying away poultry, cattle and pigs from a nearby farmhouse. In Boston, General William Howe set up p, special police patrol to maintain order in the city. He also ordered that 20 men from each company be assigned to obtain firewood from old wharfs, houses and ships. They were to receive a gill of rum a day as reward. PAINTED STICK, N.Y. December 32 - The tribal chiefs of this small village decided that they would stay out of the conflict between the Colonies and the British. According to medicine man Sam Itzalotahuey “Let the white eyes wipe themselves out. We’ll take over what’s left.” No Christmas at CCC The Commons will not be decorated this Christmas, according to Tim Hillery, acting chairperson of the Activities and programming committee (APC). The reasons given to The Crier by Hillery were that the APC members who voted down the proposal felt that it was discriminatory against all non-Christians, and that it was unnecess- ary in view of the fact that the decorations would only be up for a majority of the students to view for two weeks. Another reason given was that many of the APC members were in the preparatory stage for finals and had little time to spare to drag out the decorations and put them up. 8 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 SPECIAL FEATURE The Crier offers this poetry column as a one-time special. We have received from Ann Hogan, director of inmate education, a number of poems from one of the students in the program. We think they are good. We invite your opinion. Regional Recreation Tournament By RAS CHAKA Confined I am confined, Closed securely like knitted hate Within deliberate neglect. And my dreams? They were desecrated Like dead roaches in seclusion. Isolated I stand With no dreams to see tomorrow. Before, I visioned days When from this limbo I would leap like fresh air Into musty attics and shout “I exist” Seven times around the bars of neglect. But now I have no dreams And Oh God! confinement is hell. Rehabilitation A cold, calculated ploy To Transform minds into vacant lots. A lot void of any buildings; Urban renewal has no part in the plot. Just a patch of land Protected by administrative decrees. An arid ground where leafless tree shiver; Where yesterdays paper tumbles back and forth To the footsteps of concerned citizens Who earnestly protest pollution. I Pity Those Who Aren’t Poets I pity those who aren’t poets For not being able to color life. Life for them must be words, Just words, no meter to it. There are no stanzas to stand by; No similes to smile at. What a pityful life to live? I pity those who aren’t poets. “Where Does It End 99 Where does it end? The perennial cycle of prison, parole, and prison again Does it end with the acceptance of rehabilitation That cold and crooked concept of the criminologist Which transforms minds into vacant lots. Brother does it end when resignation is written on your face Like graffiti on the walls of empty tenements. Where does it end my friend? Does it end when you crawl spineless Like cripples to the Parole Board And face them expressionless While they make snotty remarks about your mamma Never respecting her womanhood? Brother does it end with the construction of a dream Constructed in a dark and dingy cell? Does it end with your dream? Does it end when you step through metal doors Only temporarily free with your plans to destroy the cycle While back in the ghetto's Back in El Barrio, Papa, and Jose are strung out? Can dope friends understand your politics. So you arrive finally after five years from the ghetto's To find faggots, pimps, punks, and dope addicts. Now your dreams constructed in a cell slowly melt, Like yesterday’s laughter melts In the recess of your mind after the clanging of cell doors. America is a melting pot Where people from life mix together And form a bitter brew of pain. So you melt in the scenery of disillusionment And we see you standing on the corner With gypsy rose in hand Desperately clutching your last hope in this tragic land. But drinking is a violation. One thing leads to another And the cycle continues like reruns on T.V.

UTICA, N.Y. - Mohawk Valley Community College has. been selected by the Association of College Unions - International to host the 1975-76 Region II recreation tournament, February 5-7,1976. MVCC is the first community college in New York State to host the three-day regional tournament. Approximately 400 students from more than 30 New York and Canadian colleges will participate. Competition will be held on MVCC campus, and elsewhere in Utica, in six activities: chess, ping pong, billiards, fooseball, bridge and bowling. Winners in each regional tournament may go on to national competition for their event. In some cases, qualifiers for national competition must meet certain national performance standards, as well as winning their regional competition. Mr. James Connell, director of MVCC’s College Center, is in charge of arrangements for the Region II tournament. On the Record The mention of New Orleans invokes images of Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, the Sugar Bowl and a jazz band playing “When The Saints Go Marching In.” The Mardi Gras and the Sugar Bowl are seasonal, they come just once a year. But Bourbon Street and the jazz bands are fixtures and will be as long as there is a French Quarter and musicians who refuse to let a great tradition die. In the beginning the Black musicians planted the jazz seed, nourished the plant and watched it bloom into glorious music. White musicians came along and pasteurized and homogenized the sound and it was good, too. And although New Orleans is the city that care forgot, the state laws prevented black and white musicians from playing in the same band until legislation was overturned by the Supreme Court in the 1950’s. Of the jazz bands in New Orleans today one of the outstanding groups is a mixture of fine black and white musicians known as the French Market Jazz Band. They use their name as the title of their first recording (Flying Dutchman BDL 1-1239). These young musicians are outstanding on the solo breaks, but they also play fine ensemble music on such standards as “Bourbon Street Parade,” “Tin Roof Blues,” and “That’s A Plenty.” The two outstanding numbers are “When The Saints Go Marching In” and “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” primarily because of the excellent arrangements by Scott Hill, the band’s trombonist. The most outstanding jazz musicians produced by New Orleans in recent years have been Al Hirt and Pete Fountain. Al with his trumpet and Pete with his clarinet have had a genuine feel for the true jazz, and it is quite likely that if they had been born at the turn of the century they would be remembered today as we recall King Oliver and George Lewis. Hirt and Fountain were brought together last January 7 on the eve of the Super Bowl football game to play at the Fairmont Hotel for the swarm of tourists. Their music resulted in a great two-LP album “Super Jazz 1.” The set consists of Hirt and his band playing such old-time tunes as “South Rampart Street Parade,” and “Oh, Didn’t He Ramble,” and Fountain and his team prevailing on “Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree” and “Lazy River.” It also brings the two bands together on “Perdido,” “Basin Street Blues” and “Super Bowl Blues.” Crier Needs People With the change of semesters, The Crier will be losing some of its Editorial Board.

SAN FRANCISCO (UPI) — A California real estate broker says he has clients who want to buy San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bri- dge, which is valued at between 300 million and 500 million dollars. The broker has written to officials asking if negotiations for the bridge can be opened. Officials say the famed span is not for sale. By JOE VIKIN Division Of Biology & Chemistry The PCB Problem The public preoccupation with the environment is a thing of the past but it does not mean that the environmental problems have disappeared, they are still there but because the public’s apathy is more difficult to try to implement solutions to solve these problems. One of the most acute environmental problems we presently face is due to the presence of substances known as PCB’s, polychlorinated biphenyls, substances that belong to the same class as DDT, namely, chlorinated hydrocarbons. PCB’s are very useful substances and because of their unique properties (stability and ability to withstand heat) they are used in a variety of products, such as sealants, rubber paints, plastics, adhesives, printing ink, insecticide formulations, caulking compounds, tires, brake linings, paints, hydraulic fluids, electrical transformers and capacitors. Their own properties are the source of the problem, namely, their stability, which causes them to remain in the environment, polluting our water supplies. The PCB’s find their way in the environment through accidental leaks of industrial equipment, weathering or friction wearing of materials that contain PCB’s as ingredients, interaction with food products in packages, and burning of discarded plastics. PCB’s in large doses is fatal and in small doses is known to produce acne, impaired vision, abdominal pain, cancer of the liver and possible genetic defects in animals. The LD 50 in shrimp is 1 part per million. LD 50 is the dose needed to kill 50% of the test animals. In 1968 300 persons were affected in Japan by PCB’s and 5 Japanese as a result of their exposure to this substance. In August, 1971 in the United States 50,000 turkeys, 80,000 chickens and 60 eggs had to be destroyed because they contain more than 5 ppm (parts per million of PCB). Coho salmon in Lake Michigan was found to contain from 6 to 17 ppm of PCB’s. More recently PCB residues were found in 17 out of 39 states surveyed in places far away from industrial sites. The Canadian Wildlife Service found PCB in polar bears, seals and Artie fish. More worrisome is the fact that the growth of marine diatoms was reduced at concentrations as low as 10 to 25 parts per billion. And a sampling of 600 persons, 33% of them were found to have PCB in their adipose tissue. * The problem is so serious that the Assistant Secretary of Interior, Nathaniel P. Reed, in a recent speech, proposed a ban on most uses of PCB. Let’s hope his words are translated into action before long. "Answers” Review By WILLE THOMPSON “Answers,” a play by Thomas Topor, was presented Friday, December 5. It was held in the Science Amphitheatre. It is a contemporary short drama involving the ruthless interrogation by two harried and cynical Manhatten police detectives of a confused, bum suspect victim. It is also a social commentary on the paranoia and fear of others that permeates our society. The 20 minute, one act play opened with the interrogation of the suspect (Tim Wagstaff) by the two detectives Ed (Fran Anderson) and Frank (Bill Gonta). The tempo of the interrogation increases, with the detectives working purposely to confuse the suspect, which we are never really sure is guilty or not. After the beatings and browbeating, the suspect admits guilt, only to escape the torture inflicted upon him. The opening music was somewhat pretentious, but effective in setting the mood for the events to come. The direction (in particular, the timing of line delivery and the blocking) was very good, but just a touch spotty. The lighting was good for the scene, but poor for the make-up (done by Pat Cole), which made the detectives look ghoulish. But into the meat of the matter: the acting. Superb. It was crisp, clean, and well-characterized. Mr. Gonta and Mr. Anderson were brazen, bullying, deceitful, and pretty damn good. Mr. Wagstaff started a bit slow, but got into his concentration a few minutes into the play, and come off as badly frightened,perfectly shaken, and chillingly neurotic victim of society. As convocations go, it was an excellent experience, and one that I’m hoping will be repeated. 10 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 Useless Information! Compiled by DAVE SHARMAN Around the World (From the UPI) Hello. As you can see, I am still writing for the Crier even if there was some doubt about it last week. This week I will try to share twenty. One; “Hazel” was based on cartoons about a maid that appeared in what magazine? Two: “Tin Lizzies” referred to what autos? Three; What President-to-be in 1928 called Prohibition “A great social and economic experiment noble in motive and far-reaching in purpose? Four: Who first applied the title “G-men” to agents of the FBI? Five: Japan seized control of Manchuria in 1932 and renamed it. What was the new name? Six: What weird character was played in the movies by Lon Chaney, Sr., in the 1920’s, Claude Rains in the 1940’s, and Herbert Lom in the 1960’s? Seven: Who said, “It’s no disgrace t’be poor, but it might as well be.”? Eight: In the early 1870’s, a band of Modoc Indians, headed by Chief Kint-puash, fought to return to their former lands in what state? Nine: What college football star was known as the “Galloping Ghost?” Ten: “Sir, I would rather be right than be President,” is a remark made by what American Statesman more than a century ago? 11: What soft drink promised "zip in every sip?” 12: “Rhapsody in Blue,” by George Gershwin, was introduced to the public at Aerolian Hall in New York in February 1924. Who led the orchestra that evening? 13: The CCC was established in 1933 to provide jobs for otherwise jobless men between the ages of 18 and what? 14: Where does “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater” put his wife? 15: Name the play by Mary Chase in which a middle-aged bachelor meets and becomes the inseparable friend of a six-foot-tall rabbit. 17: Name the newspaperman who said, “If you go long enough without a bath even the fleas will let you alone.” 18: How big was the largest prehistoric land mammal ever recorded? 19: Who was the loudest rock group? 20: Who has the most Davis Cup appearances? And now the answers... One: “The Saturday Evening Post.” Two: “Tin Lizzies” referred to Model T Fords. Three: Herbert Hoover. Four: George (Machine Gun) Kelly, who when caught in 1933 begged “Don’t shoot, G-men! Don’t shoot, G-men!” Five: Manchukuo. Six: The Phantom, in versions of “Phantom of the Opera.” Seven: Frank McKinney (Kin) Hubbard, in “The Sayings of Abe Martin.” Eight: California. Nine: Harold (Red) Grange. Ten: Henry Clay (in 1850). 11: The soft drink was called Spur. 12: Paul Whiteman. 13: The ages were from 18-25. 14: He puts her in a pumpkin shell. (Who says he’s a chauvinist?) 15: “Harvey.” 16: They all played clarinet. 17: Emie Pyle. (I wonder "Under Fire” Cont from page 3 their teachers are full of sh- t. Some of you are probably sitting there saying, “yea, but that’s what I’m paying them for.” But check it out, ask your teacher what he did last night. It would probably go like this, “Well I went home and locked myself in the den as usual and had my wife slip an order of ‘Big Mac,’ french fries and two gallons of black coffee under the bars. Then I said my prayers and started correcting today’s exams. After properly blessing each paper with ‘Oh my God’s’ and ‘lordy, Lords,’ I tried to interpret each answer as close as possible to the correct one. And then there was the lab reports, but I guess the comment I made (p-on-it), got around as direct orders and the students put the urine samples on the reports and not in the tests tubes. But the most rewarding part of the evening (well it was actually morning by then), was my evaluation of the projects handed in. It’s really amazing what students can do with bubble gum and tinker toys. Then I called my wife upstairs and she came down and unlocked the doors so I could go to bed. As we walked up the stairs, she said, “Say honey - how about and I said, “Wait until Mini-semester,” and then she mumbled something about teachers never something or other. So the next time you’re sitting around getting “wasted,” and rapping about how that **&#(?’ $33,500,000 Unclaimed Scholarships Over $33,500,000 unclaimed scholarships, grants, aids, and fellowships ranging from $50 to $10,000. Current list of these sources researched and compiled as of Sept. 15, 1975.

It stood over 17 feet tall and weighed nearly 22 tons. 19: The amplification for Deep Purple on the 10,000 watt Marshall P.A. system attained 117 decibels. This was sufficient in the Rainbow Theatre, London, in 1972, to render three members of the audience unconscious. 20: Nicola Pietrangeli represented Italy in the Davis Cup from 1954 to 1972, winning 120 matches. Well, that wraps up another week of Useless Information. Our sources were, The Bantam Trivia Quiz Book, by Donald Salts; and the Guiness Book of World Records. See you again next semester with more useless information. teacher put your grade down a half mark because you missed 75% of his classes, just think about that poor tired SOB slouching up there, swaying back and forth with one eye open, incoherently mumbling away, fantasizing about his wife and Mini-semester and a secretary to do all that pre-registration garbage. Think about how he’s trying to cram that information into your heads and make you “Edumacated and smartsk.” Then the next time you’re sitting a-round with some friends, bring up some of these points and let’s see if maybe we can get a few “he’s OK,” and maybe even, “yea, he tries.” T.H. Corning, N.Y. (from the UPI) Good News For NYC LIVERPOOL, England -A small British textile firm says it has come up with an idea to make garbage beautiful, or at least smell better. The Liverpool-based company, Iranwood, has patented a formula to impregnate plastic garbage liners with chemicals that give off any of 600 different smells. Don’t laugh. The firm says it has already picked up one million dollars in orders from such fashionable British stores as Har-rods for its plastic garbage bags. The best sellers, by the way, are the pine and lemon scented garbage bags. He’s Real Cool It’s not the kind of think one intentionally tries to get in the Guinness Book of World Records, but Wisconsin biologist Warren Churchill apparently has the record for achieving the lowest body temperature and living to tell about it. Churchill, who is 60, and two younger men were dumped in an icy lake while doing research in a boat last April. The water temperature was 41 degrees and the three stayed in it for an hour and a half. Churchill had turned blue before he was picked up. His body temperature was measured as low as 61 degrees before doctors got him back up to normal -98.6 degrees. Insult to Injury KALAMAZOO, Mich. - A Kalamazoo man says he was lucky to make it home one night last week. Jerry Roe told police he was robbed of his wallet by a couple he met in a bar. On the way to his car, another young man came up behind Roe with a gun and shot him twice when he could only produce three dollars remaining in his pockets. Roe was treated for head wounds in a Kalamazoo hospital. By Any Other Name TRENTON, New Jersey -The New Jersey Senate has passed a bill allowing women to be called women. The measure would officially establish such titles as “firewomen, policewomen and assemblywomen” instead of forcing women holding such jobs to work under male-oriented job names. Togetherness For Truckers RICHMOND, Virginia -The teamsters unions says women truck drivers have to stay in trucking companies’ terminal facilities on overnight trips just as men drivers do. The union issued its ruling after an unnamed male driver for the McLean Trucking Company complained women were getting special privileges because the company paid for them to stay in motels, while men stayed in the terminal facilities. He cited sex discrimination provisions of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Women drivers and wives of men drivers complained about the union decision, which applies to all trucking companies that hire women and have contracts with the union.

Love Comes in All Sizes NEW YORK (UPI) - According to the legend of love, every man wants a woman he can look up to. Last week 33-inch high Michu of Budapest became engaged to 38-inch tall Juliana, also of Budapest. He slipped a 4-carat diamond ring on her finger as the Lilliputians, who work for Ringling Brothers, Bar-num and Bailey Circus, arrived at Kennedy International Airport aboard Scandinavian Airlines. Asked to perform the ring ceremony several times, Michu was happy to oblige, but the prospective bride was a little hesitant. Michu told her, “this is show business.” The couple arrived with the maid of honor, Elizabeth, and the best man, San-dor, who also come from Budapest.

ENTRY BLANK NAME PHONE WILL NEED SHOES NAME_______________________________________ ADDRESS 12 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11,1975 CRIER SPORTS Red Baron Hoopsters Win 3 In A Row by DENIS SWEENEY On December 3, Coach Wayne Kenner and his Red Baron basketball squad traveled to Dryden to take on Tompkins-Cortland Community College. The Red Barons bombed Tompkins-Cortland right out of the gym as they blew them out by a score of 103-88. Tony Giddens led the way with 31 points as Bob McCall had Emie Harvard Chipped in 17 and 14 points, respectively. “Pop-eye” Jones rounded out the scoring barrage with 10 points as the Red Barons jumped out to an early lead which they never relinquished. Coming shot a blistering 55 per cent from the floor as they continually destroyed Tompkins-Cort-land’s defense right throughout the game. Giddens, who is 6'6", was the leader in rebounds as he pulled down 16 and sophomore McCall cashed in 8. Last Friday night, the Red Barons hosted the JV squad of the Soaring Eagles from Elmira College and Alfred University’s junior varsity. Hilbert Junior College and CCC rounded out the field participating in Coming’s annual Tip-Off Tournament. In the first game of the scheduled double header Hilbert beat Elmira by 11 in a 92-81 contest. Frunzi had 27 and Wayne Laws 26 as they paced the attack against the junior soaring eagles. Bob Dougherty was high scorer for EC as he pumped in 21. The second game saw the Red Barons wipe out Alfred’s JV’s by a score of 98-66. Tony Giddens again was Coach Kenner’s main man as he poured in 29 points and he owned the backboards with 15 rebounds. Gary “Dirty Red” Walters was the next high scorer for CCC as he contributed 24 points. Walters was the big assist and steal man as he came up with 11 assists and 8 steals. Ernie Harvard came up with 17 big ones and Bob McCall had 10 points. Cummings was high scorer for Alfred with 24 as the Alfred offense could generate only 66 points. Saturday night saw the Elmira College JV’s wipe out Alfred’s JV’s by a score of 75-76. Elmira only led by seven at halftime, but they continually riddled the Alfred defense in the second half. Tom Monderville was high scorer with 20 points and Bob Dougherty was the next high scorer with 14. The championship game in this 7th annual Tip-Off Tourney saw the Hilbert College Hawks pitted a-gainst the Coming Community College Red Barons. Coach Wayne Kenner and Hilbert’s Coach John Kissell both saw their respective squads start off the game very tight. Both teams missed easy shots and with 15 minutes left in the first half with the score tied at 4, the Red Barons went into a four corner freeze. Coach Kenner did this in order to spread Hilbert’s defense out and to bring them out of their 3-2 zone. The Red Barons continually harassed Hilbert’s ball handlers and with their full court run and jump press and their half court trap they caused the Hawks to turn the ball over. Led by the hot shooting of Emie Harvard, the Red Barons took a 22-16 lead going into the locker room at halftime. In the second half, the Red Barons came storming out of the blocks and extended their lead to ten points at 33-23. It looked as though CCC was going to take the game away from Hilbert, but then Hilbert’s big man Courtney Abrams and Pete Frunzi took control of the backboards. Frunzi, Abrams, and Larry Williams crashed the boards hard as they got second and third shots at the basket. Corning started to lose their composure as they made numerous turnovers and with seven minutes left in the game, Hilbert led for the first time 36-35. The lead seesawed back and forth and with 4:43 left the Hawks leading scorer, Courtney Abrams. Abrams finished the game with 14 points. With two minutes left in the game Hilbert leading 45-42, Gary “Dirty Red” drove baseline and put in a crucial basket. He was fouled on the play and he sank the all important free throw to tie the score at 45. The Red Barons then played their best defense of the ball game as two Red Baron defenders double teamed Hilbert ball handler and Ernie Harvard then stole a pass with 59 seconds left. He was fouled by Pete Frunzi and Harvard canned 2 from the charity strip to make it 47-45. Hilbert’s Pete Frunzi came down and put in of his 18 points with 32 seconds left to tie it at 47. CCC came down the court and Harvard was fouled with 5 seconds left. Emie put in two free throws to make it CCC 49, Hilbert 47. Hilbert was not to be done in as Pete Frunzi made a full court pass to Larry Williams to hit the tying basket at the buzzer to make the score 49-49 at the end of regulation play. In overtime both teams got off slowly as they worked for good shots as CCC jumped out on top, never to relinquish the lead. Corning pulled away on the clutch free throw shooting of “Dirty Red” Walters who put in 7 points from the free throw line. Roger Breedlove also fed Tony Giddens for a big hoop as the Red Barons came out on top 62-59. Ernie Harvard finished with a game high 25 points and “Dirty Red” Walters chipped in 20 big ones. The All-Tourney team consisted of Tom Mander-ville from Elmira College, Pete Frunzi, and Courtney Abrams from Hilbert and “Dirty Red” Walters and Ernie Harvard from CCC. Harvard was named the Toumey’s MVP for his outstanding play in both Friday and Saturday night’s games. The Red Barons, after their first week of action, take on Bradford, December 13 at 7:30 in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Intramural Info by GREG TRANTER Basketball - The Doggers remained the only undefeated team in the Intramural Basketball as they won their only game by trouncing the Dean’s List 66-34. Terry Jones was top gun for the Doggers as he popped in 20 points. Denis Sweeney was tops for the losers with 14. Toby Fly’s kept hot on the heels of the Doggers as they won both their games. They defeated Zeppilins in overtime 55-50 as Mark Sementelli canned 23 points and they routed the Lame Ducks 58-22 as Tom Nelson poured in 21. The Somethings moved into third place as they captured three victories. They defeated the Lame Ducks 60-52 as Harry Dunbar led the way with 17 points. Gary Allen topped the losers with 21. They beat the Around The Gym by GREG TRANTER A major success this semester has been the emergence of a superb Volleyball team. Miss Lee had led her crew to an amazing 14-1 regular season record plus a third place finish in the state tournament and a fifth place finish in the Regional tournament. A-mong the standouts on the squad are Donna Dayton and Mary Lagonegro. Another major success has been the rejuvenation of the Intramural program. John Marmuscak has done an amazing job coordinating the Intramural program. Among the successful Intramural sports are Softball, Table Tennis Tournament, both Indoor and Outdoor basketball, Archery and Bowling. Others that are planned for next semester are a contin- Decapitators 61-52 with Dan Davis leading a well balanced scoring attack with 14 markers. Their other win came over the Dean’s List 62-57 as Gary Sansiveri scored 24 points and “Buck” Bradley hit 3 clutch hoops in the waning moments. Denis Sweeney again was tops for the Dean’s List as he bombed in 20. In the week’s only other game the Dean’s List playing with only four players routed the Lakers 52-37. Of the four players only four scored. Greg Trantor poured in 23, Denis Sweeney had 17 and Mark McLaine contributed 12 points to the winning effort. STANDINGS W-L GBN Toby’s Fly’s 5-0 - Somethings 4—1 1 DeCapitators 3-2 2 uation of Indoor Basketball Free Throw Shooting contest and a Doubles Tennis Tournament. Mr. Marmuscak has done a marvelous job and he has helped me very much in gathering all the Intramural Info there is. Among the disappointments were both the Men’s and Women’s Tennis teams. The men who had quite a team last spring fell on hard times as they were only 1-7-1. The Women’s tennis team which is a first at CCC failed to win a game but that was to be expected because the squad was formed on short notice. The baseball team which for the first time became a sanctioned sport turned in a credible 3-9 record, but had the team had a few breaks that record could have easily been .500 or better. The basketball team has started out Well as they Dean’s List 3-2 2 Zeppalin’s 2-4 3*/2 Lakers 2-4 3*/2 Lame Ducks 1-5 3% Table Tennis: Semi-Finals - Losers Bracket; John Kelley over James Wen-baum (21-11) (21-6) and Dan Messing over Jack Kelley (21-9) (21-15). Adult Basketball: Morse’s Parkway took over sole possession of first place as they squeaked past Marconi Lodge 45-43 as John Burge popped in 19 points. Ron Childs topped the losers with 13. Mickey’s Grill moved into a tie for second place as they poured it on the Food-mart 74-42. Steve Retterer was high for Mickey’s with 16 markers. In the other game last week which was a battle for last place saw Northside Floral beat Southern have won their first two games by lopsided margins and the Wrestling squad did quite well in the CCC tourney which was Tier Legal Services 52-34. Northside Floral was led by Bob Rossi’s 22 points. STANDINGS Horse’s Parkway 3-0 Marconi Lodge 2-1 Mickey’s Grill 2-1 Foodmart 1-2 Northside Floral 1-2 Southern Tier 0-3 Legal Services Foul Shooting Contest: There will be a foul shooting contest held when students, faculty and staff return from their Christmas vacation January 26. Entry forms and signups can be made anytime between December 3 and February 3 in the Gym Recreation office. All qualifying for the contest will shoot 25 foul shots as a preliminary qualifying for the contest held on campus two weeks ago. All in all it was a good semester and it looks as though next semester in the Gym between the hours of 12:00 to 2:00 Monday through Friday 12-2 except Wednesday 12-1. Bowling: STANDINGS CCC Studs 24-4 Computer Jocks 18-10 SSC 17-11 PW’s 13-15 SUB’s 6-22 College Dropouts 6-22 High Game Scratch: Rich Cornell 213; High Game Handicap - Rich Cornell 220; High Series Handicap - Rich Cornell 609; High Series Scratch -Rich Cornell 602; High Average - Marc Malandra 195. Top five averages: 1. Mark Malandra -195. 2. Dan Kalec -182. 3. Steve Olson -178. 4. Dwight Thomas -168. 5. Ron Wood -167. should be even better. Until then this is Greg Tranter rounding third and heading home. Volleyballers Finish Fifth The Women Volleyball-er’s have had quite a season. Their regular season record ended up an unbelievable 14-1. They finished third in the State Tournament and last week in the Regional tournament they finished fifth. Corning opened the tournament in the second pool which had four teams. If CCC finished in the top two of their pool then they would go to the Championship pool and if they didn’t finish in the top two, then they would go into the Consolation pool. The Baronesses opened against Queensborough and they were beaten 11-15 and 13-15. They then play- ed Staten Island and they were victorious 15-7, 15-12. Miss Lee’s crew then met Nassau and the winner of this match would go to the Championship pool. Well as it turned out CCC lost a heart breaker 15-9, 15-17, 7-15 and their hopes for the title went out the window and they were relegated to play in the Consolation pool. Coming won the Consolation pool easily as they pounded Rockland 15-7, 15-5 and they demolished Cobleskill 15-7, 15-1. But for Miss Lee and her crew it was a disappointment because they had high hopes of winning it all with the team they had, and with a few breaks they just might well have been the Number 1 team in the Region. Miss Lee said the season was a great success and that she felt the team did very well. She also said enough people will be back next year. The Red Baronesses finish their season December 11 in the Central New York League Divisional Tournament. Miss Lee and her crew would like to thank all those people who bought raffle tickets and Bake Sale items. The winners of the two raffles were Mrs. Fronapel and Mrs. Hanas. Simons, Richard Artist of The Three Fates in the Commons Atrium and the Decathlon in the Gym Richard Simons: The Short Life of an Artist at CCC [Thoughts dictated by his sister, Christine Simons, on February 23, 2011. Organized and written by Cindy Maier, CCC Archivist.] Richard graduated from CFA in 1963, the last class to graduate from CFA as a High School. He started CCC as a freshman that fall of 1963 in the Old School 3 building downtown on Chemung Street. He completed The Three Graces sculpture the summer between his first and second year of college. He won a scholarship after completing the Three Graces/Three Fates. It is unclear at this time as to when the name of his sculpture was changed from The Three Graces to The Three Fates. Christine assumes that her brother graduated from CCC in 1965 on the Spencer Hill campus. Richard submitted floral designs for plates and dishes for Corning Glass Works while he attended CCC. He painted oil pictures and portraits to earn extra money while in high school and in college. His well-remembered painting of Moses seems to be lost while his wooden sculpture of JFK is still in Christine’s possession. John Runyon was Richard’s art instructor at CCC. John said that Richard was one of a kind and that he, John, could not teach Richard anymore about art. “The Three Fates are made with a welded reinforced rod covered with concrete. Simons finished the sculpture during the summer of 1964. He built it as a work/study project. The hands clasped with the statue in a circle signify continuity and movement in the ever-changing roles of life.” (Crier 1975) The Decathlon sculpture in the gym area remained unfinished because Simons was summoned into the service. Mr. Ringsmuth of the Art Department finished the sculpture. Christine and Richard Simons had two other brothers; George and William. Richard was the eldest and was of average height, as was his mother. Richard was the only family member to attend CCC. George and William now live in Naples, FL. Our artist was a quiet person. He loved to hunt and camp with the family. The family had a farm in Caton where the father raised beef cattle. He was married while he was in the service. He went into the service right after his time at CCC and was married for only six months before his death. He had no children. He was stationed out of Dover, DE. July 14 was his birthday and Richard died July 18, 1967. Christine was 18 when Richard died while serving in the U.S. Air Force in Southeast Asia. The family went to Dover, Delaware to collect his body. There was a suspected cover-up about the crash of his helicopter. The family never knew what Richard was doing in Vietnam and never knew where he was stationed. Fie was trained as an engineer for helicopters. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Christine has been to the grave several times. The Office of Institutional Advancement has contact information for Christine Simons. Work Cited: Crier. December 11, 1975, p.6.
