the OVER Vol. 15 No. 3, Thursday, September 12,1974 Corning Community College C.C.C. Acting Noted Watergate Author As Fire Station By Joanne Kosty Here Corning Community College is slated to be a sub-station for the South Corning Fire Department. Target date for the installation was Wednesday, Sept. 11. South Corning Fire officials requested the use of the College as a substation because Spencer Hill is part of the South Corning fire district, and in case of a fire the South Corning Fire Department must go through and up Chemung St. Thieves have robbed WCEB, the College's student owned and operated radio station, of programming materials for the second time in less than a year. The station was robbed last semester of close to $400 worth of records. The latest theft took place early Wednesday morning after the station went off the air at midnight. The unknown bandits made off with all of the stations records and a Sony stereo tape deck. State Police and the BCI from the By stationing a fire truck here, firemen will be able to respond quickly to Spenqer Hill fires. There are seven volun-teeer firemen living in the Spencer Hill area who will tend to the new sub-station. The truck, a pumper, will be stationed in an empty bay at the Buildings and Grounds facility on campus. A siren to warn firemen when there is a fire will be mounted on the bay. Painted Post State Police station are investigating. According to Dave Game, general manager, the night disc jockey, George Huffsmith, left the trailer unlocked because he had no key. Game claims that Randy Horton,.news director, had the only key arid failed to give it to Huff-smith. Game estimated the total loss at $250. This latest theft is not covered under the College’s theft insurance because the radio facilities had not been locked. to Speak Carl Bernstein, one of the two Washington Post reporters who exposed the whole Watergate story, is slated to speak here Sept. 19 in the gym at 1:00 P.M. Bernstein is also the co-author, with his Watergate colleague Bob Woodward, of the bestseller book “All The President’s Men.” The book depicts the Watergate story from the time Woodward and Bernstein began work on it three days after the break in at the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate. In the book they outline their efforts and digging, which connected the White House, and eventually Nixon, to the Watergate scandal and subsequent cover-up. Their perseverance won the Washington Post a Pulitizer Prize. One of the most ironic items of their success story is that neither Bernstein or Woodward worked on White House stories, they were local reporters. Watergate, on the surface, looked like a simple bungled burglary. A story normally signed out to a Junior Reporter. Bernstein began his journalistic career at 16 working as a copy boy for the Washington Star. The Post later hired him as a reporter for the local Washington scene, police beat, local politics, etc. Bernstein has no formal journalism training, as he is a college drop-out. His colleague, although well educated, was new at the Post and assigned to the police beat. It is this background that made the story, they claim, as Watergate was basically police reporting. Find out who’s arrested, get the background.” The convocation is being sponsored by the Arts and Convocations Committee. Tom Beis-wenger, Crier editor, and Henry Bennett, philosophy professor here, will co-host Bernstein’s appearance. The convocation is open to the public. Programming Material Stolen Campus Parking Mess Not Students Fault Jack Smith, CCC traffic controller, started giving out parking tickets this week to violators of CCC parking regulations. Asked how many he had given out. Smith said that he’s never given out so many tickets in one week. But, he does not blame this on students refusal to obey parking rules. Instead, he points the finger at College Officials giving out the parking stickers. He claims that when a student signs up to get a parking permit, the official issuing the permit is supposed to give the student a handout denoting all campus parking rules and regulations. The problem is not that students don't get the handout, he says, but that the official fails to explain what it is the student is getting. Consequently, students don’t know that Corning has more than three parking lots. The handout is pretty straight forward and self explanatory, Smith said, but by the time students get around to getting their sticker, they usually have already been barraged with piles of mass-produced pieces of paper. In order to alleviate the situation. Smith has been explaining the parking rules to students. On this, he commented “the students this semester are very nice; you do them a favor and they’ll do you a favor. They just don’t know where to park.” -He said that he’s had no major hassles with students parking in the wrong spot; he just tells them where to park, and warns them that next time he’ll have to ticket them. He has few second offenders, he noted. Asked what happens if faculty and staff are caught in student parking lots, instead of their own, Smith said they get ticketed too. However, he was unsure of how many were actually made to pay their fines. Can the parking mess be cleaned up in the future? Smith seems to think so. He claims the student and faculty parking areas are poorly marked. Better and more outstanding markings would solve this. But the best way to handle the situation in his opinion would be to abolish the parking fee. Instead, students who drive should be issued parking stickers when they register. This way there would be fewer violations for not having a valid parking sticker, one of the most common offenses, Smith said. Don’t ti-y to escape from Deputy Dawg! 2 THE CRIER. THURSDA Y. SEPTEMBER 12. 1974 Our Side: What are you doing tonight? I’m bored. Do these comments sound familiar? Corning Community College needs involvement. What do you like to do? What are your suggestions and ideas? Remember the high school dances? Maybe you’d rather forget, but it was a form of entertainment that enabled people to meet people. Does anyone like rock-n-roll and the jitterbug? Does a greaser-type record-hop appeal to anyone? Is the entire student body dead or under some Sort of black magic spell that prevents involvement? The general statistics are a percentage of students are “tired of hanging out in the local bars.” If no one is interested then this editorial is useless, where as if by chance it is beneficial, then there will be a stimulas of response. We thought college life was supposed to be the spice of life? If there is any excitement, adventure or response left in your active little minds, share it. Be an ex-travert. Come alive... 8NA1SS t? MW by Bill Gray Just the Facts Hi Kids. This article is about alcoholism, so if that topic either scares or bores you, you have my permission to go on to the next article. Collier’s (volume 1, page 502) defines an alcoholic as “..one whose repeated drinking causes injury to his health, family, or social relations, and his economic functioning, and who is unable to refrain from drinking.” Five and a half million adults in the United States are alcoholics. That’s four out of every 100 adults. Seven point three per cent of all of the men in the U.S. over the age of 20 are alcoholics, as are one point three five per cent of the nations women. From 1960 to 1970 alcohol consumption increased in the U.S. by 2.6 gallons of pure alcohol per adult per year. Problem drinkers now spend $1 billion per year. The U.S. is second only to France in numbers of alcoholics. Four states in the U.S. have more alcoholics per capita than New York. Of the 70 million adults in the world who drink six per cent become alcoholics. Alcoholics are seven times as succeptable to fatal accidents, 30 times more liable to poisoning, 16 times more liable to death from falls, and 4.5 times more liable to die in an automobile mishap. The average life span of an alcoholic is 10 to i2 years less than that of a non-alcoholic. In 1972 the National Council on Alcoholism reported that its youngest problem drinkers were no longer 14. They were now 12. People become alcoholics when the pleasure derived from drinking can’t be equaled in any other way. It’s something to think about at your next keg. Conditional Amnesty Not Enough To The Editor: On August 19, the new President, Gerald Ford, announced that, while he rejects amnesty for war resisters, he also rejects revenge. He went on to offer a program of “earned re-entry” for what he called “the 50,000 of our countrymen loosely described as draft dodgers and deserters.” This program would involve investigation of each individual case and application of “a penalty to fit the individual mistake.” As Ford himself was Letters to the Editor the first to admit, this is not amnesty. It is just a more sophisticated but no less conservative effort than that of Ford’s predecessor to label war resisters as law breakers and to divide us from the majority who need amnesty: those now underground and in prison because of their active opposition to the U.S. war in Indochina, and the half million Vietnam era veterans with less than honorable discharges. Significantly, Ford’s statement did not mention the unpopular and illegal U.S. war in Indochina, which still rages in violation of the January 1973 Ceasefire A-greement, with American advisors and dollars propping up the dictators Thieu and Lon Nol and causing the deaths of as many Indochinese now as in 1972, and the imprisonment of thousands of South Vietnamese political PERSPECTIVE by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief Dead Efforts Funerals are an exercise futility. I went to a funeral Saturday for a girl that I graduated from high school with a few years ago. She died suddenly, but neither the priest or the funeral director would let her die. They kept referring to her being asleep, at rest or on her way to the great beyond. That’s all well and good, and maybe it did comfort the grieved parents some, but sooner or later reality of death has to hit. Then how much was all that money spent on a nice coffin, and funeral service, not to mention the burial plot and tombstone worth. Not much, for it was spent on a dead person who derived no good from the money or the futile efforts. The money was literally poured into the ground. I don’t mean to sound morbid, but when one All men are equal in the eyes of the law — not according to President Gerald Ford. On Sunday, Sept. 8, Ford signed a proclamation granting Richard Nixon a pardon for the period from January 20, 1969, until August 9, 1974, the day the former president resigned. The pardon is “Full, Free, and Absolute” for all offenses Nixon committed or may have committed while in the White House. The fact that Ford has the right to grant Nixon a pardon is not question- prisoners. Of course, the criminality of this war policy could not be admitted without granting universal and unconditional amnesty, and we believe that by continuing to struggle for total amnesty we are also resistance to continued U.S. agression in the Third War. It should be noted that Ford’s early action on amnesty is an indication of the importance of the issue. As we have said, once Nixon is gone, the real battle for amnesty begins. Ford has now launched a national debate and struggle on amnesty, which we should take up sharply. It is also clear that some who wish for us to forget Nixon’s crimes would like to trade “partial amnesty” for war resisters with full amnesty for Nixon. But we want no part of such trade-offs - Nixon is a criminal and war resisters are not. The fight for amnesty is a battle for justice. If we are to continue this struggle, we need your support - now thinks about it, one realizes how crazy it all is. And we laugh at the Indians and other foreign cultures that build elaborate crypts or put things of the living in with the dead. Are we any different with our expansive wastes of precious land for graveyards, or meticulousy sculpted memorials? True, death is not any easy thing to accept, especially when it’s one whom we love dearly or admire. But, is that any reason for us to lose our heads. Death is such a common occurance. The simple fact is that the day we are born, we begin dying. Then why do we spend so much on the dead, why not spend it on them while they are a-live when they can appreciate it? Life is too' short to waste it on death. In a day in age when prices are soaring and By Doug Hoover, Managing Editor It Was a Mistake ed. What is questioned, is whether or not Ford should have exercised his power on Nixon. Nixon’s comrades have been tried and some are being punished. Dwight Chapin, John Dean, E. Howard Hunt, Egil Krogh, Gordon Liddy and Jeb Mag-ruger are all in jail today. Yet the man who led them goes free. Americans have a right to know what their president did. The pardon will leave questions of guilt up in the air when they should be pinned to the ground. more than ever. There are those conservative libaral elements (like the New York Times) that care little for just-' ice or peace and would gladly support Ford’s “earned re-entry” proposal as fair and wish. Thus, they crown the new President with the laurels of reconciliator and peace-maker while the Indochinese continue to die and the war resisters are still punished. We are therefore asking you who encouraged our resistance to the war, to now redouble your efforts to win universal and unconditional amnesty. Now is a most sensitive time, when your action could mean the difference between full amnesty or many more long months in exile, prison, underground, or suffering with less than honorable discharges, for those of us who resisted the war. We believe that the new Administration can and must be pushed until we win total amnesty. Especially now, in the coming weeks, we call consumers are watching their pennies and complaining about a-buses by major corporations, we have over looked that most intolerable rip-off, that of the cost of a funeral service. A short investigation into the costs of a funeral and what one pays for reveals that the most expensive part of the coffin (funeral directors now call them slumber couches) is the suspension system to give the body a comfortable ride. The average size of a cemetery plot goes for over $100, and even then, you often have to share it with someone else. And monuments aren’t cheap. All this is for a dead person. Why not crea-mate the body, and give the money to some organization helping people to live. Granted, I’ve been fortunate not to have any close relative or loved one die, and this could understandably bias my opinion, but think of the lives that might be saved if only we would spend the money on the living. What better tribute to our dead loved ones. Nixon was a man - no more - no less. He should be brought to trial like any other man. Nixon should be either acquitted or found guilty but not pardoned. Perhaps if found guilty, Nixon could be pardoned but not before. Pardoning Nixon before a trial makes him more than just a man. It puts him above the status of man. In a country where the president is becoming more demigod than man — it was a mistake. on you to vigorously organize popular demands for universal and unconditional amnesty, freedom for the South Vietnamese political prisoners, and full implementation of the Peace Agreement. September 29 to October 6 has been named the National Week of Concern for Peace in Indochina and Amnesty for U.S. War Registers. We urge you during that time to mobilize in every possible way to build support and pressure for these demands. Follow the lead of the Veterans Against the War/Winter Soldier Organization and The National Council for Universal and Unconditional Amnesty, and organize support in every possible constituency. We are counting on you. Universal and Unconditional Amnesty For All War Resisters! Free the South Vietnamese Political Prisoners! Implement The Peace A-greements /End Aid To Thieu and Lon Nol!

SEPTEMBER 12. 1974 3 The Crier Asks Editors note: Each week a Crier reporter will be asking students what their opinion is on a certain subject of current interest. Students’ answers to the reporter’s question will be published in this column. The idea is to bring the paper to the students and find out what they think. However, not all responses will be printed, as we will try to get a fairly balanced viewpoint on the issue at question. The opinions below are not necessarily those of the editors, staff or college administration. This week’s question: “What do you think of President Foi'd’s choice of Nelson Rockefeller as Vice President?” Don Longwell - sophomore - “it doesn’t matter to me, I’m broke anyway.” Dana Keeler - readmitted student - “He’s not the choice I had hoped for. He represents an economic class responsible for many of our social/economic problems. He lacks awareness of problems of the lower middle class and has no understanding of the common person’s life because he’s never lived 'it.” Katy Deegan - freshman - “I think it’s fantastic. When I was in fourth grade I met him. He seems really nice.” Terry Robinson freshman - “When will he start raising taxes?” Dan Crossman - freshman - “Disgusting.” Kim Sprague - freshman - “The whole thing seems fishy to me.” Dirty Old Men Sanctioned The Dirty Old Men’s Society, once a mainstay here, won readmission to Inter-Club Council last Monday. This ended a three-year dormancy by the club which was revived by several old members who returned to CCC this semester. The action came at ICC’s first meeting of the year. Of the 14 clubs^ that were members in good standing in ICC as of the end of last semester, only eight showed for the 1 p.m. meeting. The Dirty Old Men’s .Society won readmittance by a unanimous vote by representatives present following a reading of the club’s constitution. The new club limits full membership to all students 18 or older, but according to Vance Mar-gesson, president of the club, they will admit students under 17, but they will not be able to drink at parties or club meetings at which alcoholic beverages are served. In other action taken by ICC, President Steve Roney announced the upcoming Annual Membership Extravaganza sponsored by ICC. He said that people were needed to help work the event and invited clubs to set up membership booths. He also noted that any club helping will get a share of profits, if any. The Membership Extravaganza will be held in the Commons Sept. 12 at 1 p.m. The event will feature belly dancing by Soroya Melik, a Turkish dancer from Manhatten, and unrock entertainment by the Canadian group, Canada. Roney also announced that ICC will hold an organizational workshop on September 19 from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. He commented that there had been some sentiment last year to make the workshop mandatory for all clubs, but decided not to follow that feeling in hopes for a good turnout. However, Roney stressed, “If we don’t get a good turnout at the first workshop, we may make the next one mandatory.” The group plans to hold another workshop later in the semester. He asked that at least two representatives from each ICC club attend the September workshop, saying that previous workshops have failed because of poor attendance.

He said that clubs should meet with the ICC executive board when they are planning an activity, as the board members might be helpful in suggesting ways of doing things. , He stressed the purpose of the organization, saying that ICC was formed to “get the clubs together.” He also noted that the group does have some money for club activities, but said that it was a smaller amount because of budget cuts. Also at the meeting, clubs with representatives attending got their budgets. However, because of a new ruling by Student Life, clubs may not spend the money, $100, until they participate in a fund raising af- People Believe It or Not “In large, the students seem concerned about learning something,” says Mary Turgeon. Mary Turgeon is a new associate professor in Sociology. Originally from Chicago, she has lived in Waverly for the last five years. She has a B.S. degree from Roosevelt University in Chicago and a M.T. from the Presbyterian-Saint Luke’s Hospital School of Medical Technology. Mrs. Turgeon is interested in making teaching at C.C.C. permanent. In her spare time she likes to breed and show Great Dane dogs. And believe it or not - she is interested in the selective breeding of swine. You’ve got to Be a Winner “I love it.

But, he stressed the money should be used as working capital to be used to earn more money for the club. Division of Continuing Ed., A Multif acted Venture The tiny cramped office of the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services is surprisingly misleading. Here lie the headquarters for most of what’s happening at Corning in the way of education apart from the standard day classes. Recreational, fun classes, the “mini-mes-ter”, summer session, and the recently enrolled night and morning classes for part-time students are handled through this division, as well as a number of Community services. The underlying purpose of the division is to serve the public and make it as convenient as possible to get an education. Numerous courses are offered on campus, at the off-campus center, as well as at Bath, Elmira, Montour Falls, and Horseheads. Director, Gary Yoggy is much excited over recent additions to the program. Federal funds have been allotted toward a child service program, directed by Sheila Walls. The program offers a degree for preschool teachers. The College Entry Program for disadvantaged adults, headed by Dick West has also been granted Federal funds. This will pay college tuition for 15 people from Bath, Corning and Hornell. These people without this aid, would be unable to attend college. The program is designed for people in dead end jobs. Ann Hogan is the director of an additional class room opening at Elmira Correctional Facility Reception Center. Courses offered here will enable inmates to obtain college equival-ancy for one year. Only seven people are needed to open a course. They must contact the division expressing a wish to see a particular course offered. The biggest problem then, is finding qualified instructors. Presently, about two-thirds of the instructors are C.C.C. faculty members who take on extra classes with extra pay. Other instructors are knowledgable in their fields, some with degrees, who take on teaching courses in addition to their regular jobs. A course in fire science was initiated this year in this way. At the request,of a group of firemen, fire science is being taught by Elmira fire department at Montour Falls. The course is taught in N.Y.S. Fire Science Academy there. The entire police science program expanded to what it is today from night courses started by a group of policemen and the Division of Continuing Ed. Most of the students enrolled in the division’s courses are people with jobs and families who are looking for self-improvement. Yoggy noted that 75 to 80 percent of the students are over 21. Yoggy reports many happy success stories; such as factory workers becoming accountants, through the completion of night courses. The Downtown Woman’s Program enables women to take college courses under a more condusive condition, after having been away from school for sometime. Approximately 1,000 students are enrolled per-semester under the Division of Continuing Ed. Yoggy said the Elmira extention has shown the greatest response, but the entire division is growing. He noted there was a 15 percent decrease in the summer session this year. The decrease is seen by Yoggy as a possible result of a Continuing Ed. tuition hike. Of the additional list of community services available, the most widely used is the Faculty Speakers Bureau. This service provides speakers to interested groups and area organizations. Brochures and further information are available through the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services on campus, in the Administrative Building, 962-9222. 4 THE CRIER. THURSDA Y.

It has a complete listing of audiovisual material which according to Stein “is the best program of its kind.” The library has a shared ownership of more than 20,000 microfiches. Micro-films are small transparent cards on which up to 1000 pages can be stored. Contained in the basement is a collection of government documents. Only a small specific number of such collec- tions are allowed in each county. The library also contains an excellent collection of old magazines and papers. Copies of the New York Times can be found back to 1852 when it started. The library is one of the most modern college libraries in the state. In fact it has been chosen as a subject for a film strip by H.E.W. to serve as a model for other colleges. More important than the material in the library is the atmosphere and people.

Energy From the Sun The Senate last month passed a bill developed by the Special Subcommittee on Science to set up a program to demonstrate the use of solar energy to heat and cool homes. The program is designed to prove that solar energy systems can be used in any area. This is of particular importance to those in New England who first feel the pinch of fuel shortages. A M.I.T. built and operated house was the nations first. It operated successfully from 1930 to 1940 in Cambridge. Another was built near Dover, Mass, in the 1940’s.

Fermented Favorites Here Saturday Wine will flow like water and the hill will be alive with activity this Saturday, as Corning Community College will hold its Fourth Annual Wine Festival of the Finger Lakes starting at noon. Planners are busy this week making last minute arrangements and trying to find enough volunteers to help cover the day. Sign up sheets have been around campus hnd students are urged to volunteer their services because the profits go to the College’s financial aid kitty, which helps put students through school here. Bob Kelley, festival director, said that students volunteering would receive a free ticket admitting them to the festival and entitling them to five samples of wine at winery exhibits. Students wishing to help out should sign up on the sheets around campus or see either Lisa Haines, in the Activities Office or Kelley in his office in the Classroom Building. This year’s festival will see the come back of grape stomping. The exhibit was cancelled last year because of a poor grape crop. However, according to the Taylor Wine Company, sponsor of the exhibit, there will be plenty of grapes for festival goers to stomp. The familiar standbys such as the bicycle marathon from Hammondsport, crafts exhibits, sidewalk cafes, wine-making contest, childrens activites, and musical entertainment are also slated to be back this year. Following the festival there will be an “afterglow concert” from six til midnight. Featured will be Dakota and the New Decade. Admission to the festival is $1.50 per person in advance and $2.00 at the gate. This ticket enables anyone 18 or older to participate in wine tasting at five winery exhibits. Persons under 18 can get tickets for 75 cents in advance and $1.00 at the gate.

Topless City Council of Cocoa Beach, Florida, climaxed an 80 minute debate over whether female breasts were sex objects last night by refusing to ban topless sunbathing by women on the beaches. The vote was 3-2. Sponsors of the proposed anti-topless ordinance say they will reword the measure and try again later this month. Mayor Lee Caron said the problem in such an ordinance is defining what is conventional covering for the female breast. “What is conventional style?” Caron asked. “Twenty-five percent, 40 per-cent, or four square inches?

Ford said the pardon is “full, free and absolute” and covers all the time Nixon was President. Ford said Nixon and his family have “suffered enough” and will continue to suffer no matter what Ford does. Ford said he is “compelled” to conclude that many months and years would have to pass before Nixon could receive a fair trial before a jury anywhere in the United States. He did not mention any specific charges a- 2: Decorated Lakes: The Tasty Bakery Comer East Market & Cedar Corning gainst the President, who resigned shortly after disclosing a White House transcript showing he had participated in the Watergate cover-up from its outset. There also was no mention of Special Watergate Prosecutor Leon Jaworski, who has been investigating the Nixon case with a view towards possibly bringing it before a Federal Grand Jury. There were indications that Jaworski and Nixon newly hired lawyer, Herbert Miller, may have been plea bargaining. Some members of Congress have indicated that Nixon should make some public admission of guilt before given a total pardon. But Ford rejected that view and added that “the former President, instead of enjoying equal treatment with any other citizen accused of violating the law, would be cruelly and excessively penalized either in pre- The Gallery Men's Shop 47 Liberty St. Bath, N.Y. 14810 serving the presumption of his innocence or in determining a speedy determination of his guilt in order to repay a legal debt to society.” Following Ford’s announcement, Richard Nixon issued a statement from San Clemente, California. In his statement, Nixon expressed, “My regret and pain at the anguish my mistakes over Watergate have caused the Nation.” President Ford marked Labor Day by signing into law a pension reform bill that could eventually effect more than 30 million workers. The bill provides government insurance a-gainst loss of pension benefits. Amnesty Some details of the amnesty program Ford has developed became known, such as that a special clemency board is already being appointed to review United States policy toward draft evaders and deserters and rule on special cases of men who do not fit either category. As many as 50 thdusand persons could eventually make use of the amnesty procedures whiph Ford has readied for unveiling, in the next few days. Economy Meeting The President also met in the week just past with 28 economists of all persuasions who set forth their views on how to cure the economy. The meeting of the economics specialists was one of several presummit meetings that are being held in preparation for the huge economic conference at the end of September which will draw several hundred delegates. In addressing a Philadelphia gathering commemorating the 200th anniversary of the First Continental Congress, Ford pledged that his fight against inflation is the number one priority of his administration. Woman Appointed GOP Chairman President Ford received some criticism from Maine party leaders as he moved a 59 year-old woman and former Iowa Republican Party worker into the National leadership of the party machinery. Former party Co-Chairman Mrs. Mary Louise Smith immediately picked a vice chairman and began to settle into the new job. The recommendation of the President and avowed Presidential candidate is likely to be followed without question. Ford did not consult with state chairman in Flowers by Anne 10l/2 W. Market St. Featuring Green Plants picking his new party lieutenant which irked some state official in Maine. Meanwhile, current Party Chairman George Bush was made envoy to Peking in a move that caught most Washington observers by surprise. Mrs. Ford Holds Press Conference The nation’s First Lady held her first news conference this week and indicated she is “closer” in her stand on abortion to Vice Presidential Designate Nelson Rockefeller who vetoed a bill in 1972 that would have repealed New York’s Liberal Abortion Law. Later last week, Mrs. Ford said she is certain her children have tried marijuana, but they did-' n’t like it. • Daley Back In Chicago Democrate Party Kingmaker Richard Daley returned to work last week after a convalescence period following surgery to correct the aftermath of a stroke. The 20 year mayor of Chicago appeared at a news conference showing his age, but also demonstrating his mental processes had not suffered in the attack. Maddox Loses In Georgia, another political figure bowed out of the political wars, perhaps forever. Georgia Lieutenent Governor Lester Maddox lost the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, a nomination that is tantamount to election in Georgia. Maddox ran in a runoff against veteran state legislator George Busbee, who did not fail the oddsmakers who had given him the edge. Maddox closed out his concession speech with his own rendition of “God Bless America”. 6 THE CRIER. THURSDA Y. SEPTEMBER 12. 1974 Committee Formed to Mull Surplus Funds Outcome Over $37,000 in requests have been submitted to the Activities Surplus Committee, which is deliberating the allocation of the $15,000 in unspent ‘73-74 activities fee monies. A1 Paparelli announced the existance of the surplus to the various activities spending heads last week following confirmation of the amount from Ray Harter, in the Business Office. Harter is the acting financial affairs officer. According to Paparelli, the surplus derives from money leftover from the previous year’s activities program which is financed entirely by the mandatory student activities fee. This is the largest surplus ever, he said. The committee met in Paparelli’s office in the Commons last Wednesday at 3 p.m. They will continue to meet every week at this time until the surplus fund is exhausted. Although the committee made no decisions on how and where the 'money would be spent, they did brainstorm on ways it could be allocated. The $37,000 total represents the sum of the committee’s spending ideas, plus requests submitted prior to the meeting. Of the $37,000, $20,000 in requests had already been submitted, while $17,000 represents requests filed verbally by committee members and faculty advisors. Paparelli went over guidelines for the committee and gave some background information from the actions Robert Redford .Jeremiah Johnson” A SYDNEY POLLACK FILM The man who became a legend.

He said that usually the approved expenditures involved capital items, but stressed that this does not mean the money must be spent as such this year. He also noted that only students would be allowed to vote on the requests and cautioned them to be frugal in their decisions. The College had said that since this was the students’ money, they should be the ones deciding where it should be spent. However, Dr. Robert Frederick, College president, must make final approval of the committee’s recommendations. Following discussion of the guidelines, committee members discussed criteria to be in approving requests for the money. Don Beck, dean of students, suggested that of major importance in their discussions of the budget requests should be what need made the request necessary. Other criteria suggested included the effect approval of the budget request would have on the entire student body and what would be the positive effects if funded. Members also said that the negative effects of disproval of the request should be considered. Six student organizations were represented, but one, the Crier, said that it might withdraw from the committee. Tom Beiswenger, the Crier’s representative, stressed that no decision had been made in regarding this by the editorial board. He said that if the board decides to withdraw from the committee, it will be because it feels the media should be involved in campus legislative matters. He said that this would be a blanket move withdrawing the Crier from all campus legislative bodies. Presently, the paper is a member of Student Life and an alternate member with WCEB-FM, the college’s radio station, on other committees. Beiswenger stressed, however, that no decision would be made unless WCEB-FM also decides to follow the paper’s action. Other student members of the committee included Steve Roney, ICC president; Bruce Barney, athletics representative; Lisa Haines, Student Life chairman; Fran Anderson, Student Government president and Eric Johnson, representative of Music Guild. The committee is advised by four administrators: Don Beck, dean of student services; Wayne Barton, athletic director; Joe Spitzer, transfer counselor and A1 Paparelli, director of activities. Breakdown of Fund Request Over $37,000 in requests for funds were received by the Activities Surplus Committee. The committee which met last Wednesday, was formed to decide how to spend the $15,000 surplus of unspent monies from the 1974-75 activities program. Of the total requests, $20,000 was requested formally prior to the Wednesday meeting, while the other $17,000 was requested by committee members during a brainstorming session. The total number of requests represent $22,928 in capital requests and $14,182 in programming related requests. A breakdown of the requests and the organization or individual making the request follows. $2,000 - Arts and Convocation $1,500 - Athletics - Recreation $4,627 - Athletics $1,562 - Activities and Programming Committee $1,000 - Two-Bit Players $600 - Vicie Washington - Dance Company $875 - Music Guild $3,725 - Black Cultural Center $4,420 - A1 Paparelli - Commons $1,000 - Crier $600 - Don Beck - Student Guide to Community Organizations $1,000 Beck - Area-wide activites calfendar $1,000 - Beck - Legal aid service for students $500 - Fran Anderson - Better selection of vegetarian type foods for vegetarians $500 - Anderson - Entertainment records and tapes for the library. $400 - Anderson sign at bottom of hills denoting no school on snow days. $2,000 - Anderson - hitching shack at First and Chemung Sts. $1,000 - Wayne Barton - Off-campus activites money $3,000 - WCEB - Tentative request, not firm yet. The committee will meet every Thursday at 3 p.m. in Paparelli’s office until the surplus monies are exhausted. Moscow Exchange Program University Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer recently announced the names of ten students who will participate in the first formal undergraduate exchange program between the United States and the Soviet Union. The pioneering agreement with the Soviet Ministry of Higher Education was reached last April when Boyer was visiting the Soviet Union. While the ten American students are studying advanced Russian Language and Soviet culture at Moscow, the ten Soviet students will spend a similar a-mount of time at Albany. While in Moscow, the American students will be living with Soviet students in dormitories. The American students pay the same tuition as if they were still at their regular campus. The Soviet government will provide facilities, and health services. The Soviet students have similar arrangements. The American students have to pay their qwn overseas travel expenses. 1 2—S 1 ' care iiena menu Mon. 16 Tomato Soup & Sloppy Joe on Roll or Ham Steak and Veg.

THURSDA Y SEPTEMBER 12. 1974 7 Useless Information Compiled By Tom Bentsen Greetings again gang, it’s time once again to test your sanity. As promised, this week is Cartoons and Comic Books which immediately brings to mind the world of the cartoon pioneer, Walt Disney. And now it’s time to “Bet Your Life” (Groucho Marx): Question 1: What was the world’s first animated cartoon? In 1929, Mickey Mouse starred in “Steamboat Willie” which was animated entirely by Walt himself. A few years later, Mickey needed a companion so Donald Duck was born. Question 2: What is Donald Duck’s birthday? Donald Duck sprung to life on the screen officially on June 10, 1934. Since Walt did the extensive pioneering of animated cartoons, Question 3 asks you how many fingers most of the cartoon characters have? A hearty handshake (as was said to W.C. Fields in the “Bank Dick”) for you if you said three fingers and a thumb. Mickey’s girlfriend was obviously Minnie Mouse but do you recall how many eye-lashes she had on each eye? The answer to question four is three. Oddly enough dept: Walt Disney Productions also owns the 7th largest submarine fleet in the world. Moving right along to question 5 - which toy company sponsored the Beany and Cecil show? Mattel Toys. Question 6: What is the name of the TV newslady that liked Underdog on that cartoon series? The “Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, NO! it’s a frog” handsome Underdog was liked by Sweet Polly Purebred. The late Wally “Mr. Peepers” Cox did Underdog’s voice. And do you remember the arch foe that Underdog was up against? The evil Simon Bar-sinister was the bad person who plagued Underdog’s life with many troubles. Speaking of cartoon villians, who were the dastardly duo in the Rocky and Bullwinkle show? The full names of the villians were Boris Badanov and Natasha Fatale. Question 9: And what was the name of Bullwinkle’s hometown? Shame on you if you did not remember that virtuous Bullwinkle’s hometown was Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. And at last, question 10: What was the name of the plant that grew only in Frostbite Falls and could be used as rocket fuel? Ah Ha! The infamous Mooseberry bush was the plant in question. That’s all for now and by the time you recover from this week’s column, you should be ready for Cartoons and Comic Books, Part II next week. Student Government Elections Student Government held their first meeting Thursday, Sept. 5 in U 210. Approximately 30 people attended the meeting. During the meeting a booth for the Wine Festival was planned. Brugers Up - No, not up off the grill but up in price. Food prices, like everything else, have risen since last year. Don Fronapel, Director of Food Services, explained the prices have risen in order to absorb a 16% Elections for Student Government will be held on October 3rd. An I.D. card is required for voting. All perspective Senators may pick up applications in the Activities office of the Student Govt, office. increase in costs. Most prices rose 50, with a few exceptions that rose 100. According to Fronapel, it was either raise the prices or cut the portions and cutting the portions was not acceptable. College Football Cont. from Page 8 Alabama’s biggest challenge in the Southeast Conference is expected to be Louisiana State with 40 veterans, including star back Brad Davis returning from a team which won nine straight before losing to ‘Bama in 1974. Florida, Tennessee, and Auburn rate as strong contenders. Georgia and Mississippi figure to be in the middle of the pack with Kentucky, Mississippi State, and Vanderbilt right behind. Tulane, the best independent in the South last year, expects to be tough again with 40 let-terman returning, including quarterback Steve Foley. Miami is building under Pete Elliot. The Hurricanes upset Texas and gave Oklahoma a scare before losing, 24-20 a year ago. Pepper Rodgers brings the wishbone he used so well at UCLA to Georgia Tech. East Carolina is favored to repeat as Southern Conference champ. The Pirates are strong on defense and Coach Pat Dye plans to use an Ala-bama-style wishbone offense. Furman and the Citadel are ECU’s chief competition. Midwest Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Michigan didn’t lose a game last season, took three of the top six spots in the national rankings, and will be just as awesome in 1974. Nine starters return from Notre Dame’s superb offensive machine including Tom Clements, a possible Heis-man candidate. The rushing game is in the capable hands of fullback Wayne Bullock and speedster Art Best. Eric Penick, another star from the national champs of a year ago, nurses an ankle injury. ND lost two starters through graduation and another by disciplinary decision. Don’t look past Ohio State or Michigan for the Big Ten champion. It’s been that way for six years now. Woody Hayes may have his best squad ever and not even a heart attack could keep him off the sidelines this fall. Archie Griffin, who has rushed for nearly 2500 yards in two years, returns as a junior. QB Cornelius Greene proved that he could throw as well as run in the Rose Bowl. Soph fullback Pete Johnson is back and so is Champ Henson, the nation’s leading scorer two years ago. Ohio State’s defense isn’t far behind the offense. Middle linebacker Randy Gradishar will be missed, but Hayes may fill that gap with fullback Bruce Elia. Michigan coach Bo Shembechler must rebuild both lines if he hopes to bring the Wolverines to Pasadena on New Year’s Day. Three starters departed from the offensive wall and the entire front five on defense graduated. Quarterback Dennis Franklin is an excellent field general and MU is gifted with speedy runn-ingbacks Chuck Heater, Gil Chapman, and Gordon Bell. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, and Purdue lead the battle for third. In the Mid-American Conference, Miami of Ohio may have trouble defending the title it won last year with an 11-0 mark. Kent State, Toledo, and possibly Ohio U. could succeed. Midlands In Big Eight Country EDITORS NOTE: THIS SPACE IS \ VAILABLE FREE TO ANYONE WHO WANTS TO USE IT TO BUY.

Oklahoma will be banned again from post-sea-son play and again it won’t matter. When the season is over, the Sooners will be the best in the Big 8 and possibly in the land. All-America hopefuls dot the Sooner lineup starting with linebacker Dan Shoate. The defense is built around Shoate, tackles LeRoy and Dewey Selmon, and safety Randy Hughes. Halfback. Joe Washington is the closest thing to an instant touchdown since 1972 Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers. QB Steve Davis works behind an offensive line Switzer calls the best in history.

David Humm, a gifted passer, will play QB and tailback Tony Davis has been moved to fullback. Missouri and Kansas are given the best chance to finish 3rd.
