Our Sib: PERSPECTIVE by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief Ed. Policies Acted Honduras Aid Enlisted Irresponsibly The rule which prohibited smoking during classes and in the gym never caused much hassle here. Most likely, this is because such a rule rarely got enforced. It would logically seem that a no smoking policy would be welcomed by all, for the obvious benefits and relief it would give to smokers and non-smokers alike. But for some years now, we have observed the smoker huff and puff on behalf of his “fundamental right” to circulate the fumes of his pleasure through the air and nostrils of his choosing. Because common courtesy not always serves to keep smokers’ smoke out of non-smokers’ noses, rules were once established to prevent the mixture of conflicting clean and cloudy air types. The rule remained pretty much unmentioned, and the decision to smoke left up to common courtesy. The no smoking standard and the non-smoker alike have long been clouded over and unconsidered. The only good reason for doing away with the non-smoking rule is the elimination of the double standard of a rule regularly broken. We feel the rule should not have been eliminated, but enforced. There are no good reasons to smoke and a lot of reasons not to. We feel the Educational Policies Committee, which chose not to enforce the no smoking rule, acted irresponsibly. The hazards of cigarette smoking are well known, as they affect both smokers and non-smokers. This evidence alone should have been enough to warrent immediate enforcement Of the no smoking rule, and we are dismayed at the lack of conviction displayed by members of the committee who voted to drop the rule. However, we are happy there were those on the • committee who would not tolerate the smoker’s invasion of the non smokers right to life. It’s too bad the others were so blind. The water came. Over 8,000 are dead, and many more home-less or sick. This, in two sentences, is a description of a disaster; one that took place in Honduras about three weeks ago. Although we experienced disaster in the form of a flood nearly three years ago, our straits were no ways near those suffering in Honduras. At least we had quick help through efficiently mobilized disaster units and only eight died in the Coming area. The people in Honduras need our help, just as we needed help in our time of need. They need it quick, as their’s truely is a life/death situation. Consequently, this editorial is an invitation to students. faculty, staff, administrators and organizations to help out in this disaster. Set up clothing and food drives, and give the desperately needed materials to agencies assisting in this effort (two possible organizations are the Salvation Army and the Red Cross). If you wish to help, but know of no outlets, come see me or any other Crier staffer in Trailer Four behind the Commons. We will take what ever you can give (please no money), and see that it gets to Honduras as quickly as possible through disaster relief organizations. This is not the time to sit back and feel sorry for these people; that kind of a-pathy is as immoral as murder, and just as serious. Now is the time to act, it’ll be too late, soon. « LMeOflKC By Sandra Keegan, Managing Editor Blasphemy. “Did you hear about Penellopie Pits-water? She ...? Gossip is absolutely disgusting. There has been an alarming amount of gossip lately. People who are not intelligent enough to talk about matters other than gossip should not talk at all. Besides being distaste- Pssst . . . ful, it also can ruin a person’s reputation. Such gossip is being scattered about a friend of mine. It is simply ridiculous to slander someone on a grapevine. What’s more if gossip is fact or not, it is no one’s business except the person being gossiped about. I find myself gossiping at time; furthermore, I find myself listening to gossip at times, and if I think about it or catch myself, I am absolutely ashamed of myself. My only advice is consider yourself being gossiped about and choose your words carefully. Be kind. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Division Chairman Speaks Out on Moonschein Story To the Editor: The September 26 article "Moonschein Contemplating Action Against Crier Editor” provides an opportunity to clarify the number one campus issue concerning the Crier. In your wish to gain readership for the College paper you clearly have followed a policy of headlining those faculty-related stories which have negative implications for the faculty members concerned. Depending upon the eye of the beholder this is either good journalism or yellow journalism. The issue is widely debated on campus. At any rate your policy has created an interest in the paper which is greater than any I have known in the thirteen years I have been at the College. The Crier is being read, not ignored. Some sort of faculty To the Editor: The practice of eating animals is causing suffering and death to animals, to us through meat-related disease, to the planet through the accumulation of insecticides, and to the twenty million who will starve to death this year. Vegetarians Leonardo Da Vinci, Leo Tolstoy, G. B. Shaw, Francis of Assisi, Gandhi, Thoreau, and millions of others have refrained from eating meat because it is an innocent slaughtered animal, unjustly raised only to be butchered and eaten. Ethical backlash is an inevitable result of such a policy^ however. There are faculty who would like to see the brake applied. They think that you go too far. Last year, when I served in an official advisory capacity to the Crier, I often had to explain to my colleagues that the students who run the Crier are in charge, that the advisor has only one vote among many on the Editorial Board, and that the Editor and staff determine what goes into the newspaper. In defending the paper, I have always assured its critics that the Crier’s pages are open to them. The Crier’s staff writes what it wants, I said, but it also welcomes contributions from others. Anyone who wants something printed — positive, negative, neutral or whatever — should send it in. If it’s printable, it will get printed. Recently Henry Moonschein sent something in and it didn’t get printed. His copy arrived too late or it got misplaced or somebody on the staff may have been annoyed with him and thrown it in the circular file. Maybe elves stole it. It just isn’t clear what happened. Add to this the fact that there has been at least one other incident of vanishing copy involving another faculty member, and one can see how it would look as though the Crier staff is not quite as open to faculty - submitted copy as it claims. Understandably Henry Moonschein is displeased. He had had harsh words with some of the Crier staff and felt that he was being discriminated against. He contemplated a formal complaint to the Student Judiciary. The Crier, it seems to me, has unduly magnified the situation. A sensationseeking story has been written about something which really is not sensational. It is true, I think, that Henry Moonschein would be unlikely to win if had followed through on a complaint to the Student Judiciary. The Crier staff runs the Crier and any challenge to their doing so would fail, I believe, and rightly so. The issue would finally come down to one of freedom of the press, and that is something which should exist on college campuses as well as elsewhere. But still the Crier is not pure as the driven snow. Henry Moonschein was in fact treated shabbily by the Crier. His exasperation is understandable. His feeling that the Crier should practice responsible journalism is one hope we all share. And the article in question was not responsible journalism. It magnified the issue out of due proportion. Further, it had the effect of passing judgment on Moonschein’s position, which amounted to editorializing in a news story. In the Moonschein story, then, there are the elements of what are both the best and worst things that may be said about the Crier. The story is campus-oriented and calculated to draw readers to the paper. On the other hand, it expands an incident out of proportion — it distorts. The problem is an old one among newspapers: how to get headlines that draw readers. I am reminded of an old character who once sold newspapers on the streets of Washington. He would stand on his corner calling out whatever headlines come to mind, regardless of what was in the paper. “War declared!” “President Truman assassinated!” Then he would follow up with “Please buy a newspaper, I’m so hungry.” That’s the Crier’s problem. It’s too hungry. It leans too far in the direction of sensational journalism. Many of us on the faculty, along with at least some students, would like to see the Crier develop a sense of restraint — a sense of the responsibility that properly accompanies the power of the press. Under the present management that responsibility is in limited supply. Sincerely William Dolan Communications Divison Chairman Editor’s Note: We maintain, contrary to Mr. Dolan's implications, Mr. Moonschein’s article must have been lost. This is an embarrassing situation, but we are sure nobody heisted it, annoyed with Mr. Moonschein’s comments that day. On Mr. Dolan's reference to other copy lost last year, we admit we did lose another piece last year. However, because of its nature, we believe it must have been stolen, because not only was the story taken, but all copy files we keep on that issue. No other folders were missing, and up to this day, we have been unable to figure out what happened. Vegetarians Warn of Health Hazards vegetarians believe that The world has only twenty the eating of meat violates seven days of grain stored. The American Cancer Society has labeled meat the number one cause of intestinal cancer. The American Heart Association has linked animal fat to America's soaring rate of Cardiovascular disease, since meateaters "heartbeats are 72 per minute on average, while vegetarians" are 58. Vegetarians get life insurance discounts from British Life Insurance Companies. Sincerely, American Vegetarian Akron, Ohio reverence lor me, nonviolence, and the spark of soul in everything that creeps and crawls. Every pound of meat represents twenty one pounds of grain and grass fed to the animal. Cows, pigs, and sheep are protein factories in reverse. Henry. Kissinger. Edward Kennedy, Hubert Humphrey, the New York Times, The Washington Post, and Churches everywhere are asking Americans to cut down on meat out of the concept of feed the hungry. The Return of the Farbled Farbles Attack! It seem that “Dear Computer” is up to its same old tricks this semester, namely scheduling ponflicts, and has added a new wrinkle or two, as well as having enlisted the aid of a rough group known as the Diservice System (pardon. Service System). In event, certain parties on this campus seem to feel that I started this whole mess with my “Computer” editorial last semester and that while I was here, the computer contented itself pretty much with staid, old scheduling conflicts, knowing full-well that it could never beat me in a battle of words. However, as this semester began, the Confuser apparently thought me long gone. Thereby opening up the entire field of student harassment, beginning with sending students to “jail" and running the gamut to threatening Crier staff members (via a more or less human mouthpiece) with deliberate or pre-planned conflicts if they did not throw down their words and surrender. Mean-while, the Omnipotent Abacus, realizing the need for keeping students divided and demoral- ized, secretly enlisted the aid of the vending machines, strategically located about campus, to keep up an everyday, guerilla-type campaign. But now. Dear computer, I must point out the fatal flaw in your plan. You assumed that I was gone from sight and hearing when I had journeyed no further than Painted Post. So Tom Beiswenger. Crier Editor, asked me to return and I have, with vengeance, and with a plan of action which should rock your forces to their very heels. This plan, I now present to the students at large. And may your pleas for clemency fall on deaf ears as have the .pleas of the students for several years. The Plan: 1) Upon receipt of a card bearing the systematically placed holes of a computer code, simply take a common straight pin, add holes to the card randomly and indiscriminately, and you, the student, have created your own unique code. 2) Any card bearing the notation “Do not bend, fold, or mutilate” should quickly be bent, folded, and mutilated. 3) .On any form stating "be sure to include Social Security number,” don’t. By all means, sign your name. Few of the people in positions of power at this college will ever deduce who you are from that. 4) As for the vending machines, I recommend a policy of abstinence. Ignore the machines. Buy your coffee' from the snackbar or bring a thermos with you. Make your own sandwiches. Bring cans of soda up to the campus. Buy cigarettes downtown. Any minor technical problems (such as keeping soda cold) can be worked out in group efforts. And now, before I take my leave, I can’t resist taking a pot shot at the notion of deliberate scheduling conflicts. Isn’t that just a cover for the Great Pocket Calculator? With that threat established, the Mis-Scheduler can simply point to any future conflicts and say, “See! I told you!” instead of its more humble “damnation, I made a mistake.” The truth of the matter is, that infernal machine is completely incapable of not making mistakes. Moonschein Criticizes Paper Coverage To the Editor: As I feel William Dolan's letter says many of the things that I was trying to say, apparently unsuccessfully, I need add only a few points for clarification. The only reason that I suggested Student Judiciary action against Tom Beiswenger (not the Crier editors) was because he refused to meet with the advisors to discuss the problem, leaving me iTo alternative. I am not interested in action against Tom Beiswenger, but in trying to get to the heart of the problem: what goes into the Crier (and what does not), how, and why. I agree with Mr. Dolan that there is a lot right with the Crier, but that there is still room for improvement. Secondly, I feel that the article on my position fabricated an issue, and was unethical, or, at best, slanted. Up until that time I had been involved in a friendly debate with Tom Beiswenger and never was I told that what I said would be u§ed in an, article against me. I had responded freely and openly with Tom on a personal basis; he did not return the courtesy. Finally, I agree that the article is illustrative of some of the problems with the Crier, which I had attempted to address; I hope that from this misunderstanding an effort to deal with them will grow. Sincerely, Henry C. Moonschein Assistant Professor Of English Communications Division Editor’s Note: The friendly debate with Tom Beiswenger Mr. Moonschein refers to was addressed to Mr. Beiswenger as Crier editor. Mr. Moonschein never requested that his comments be off record and since the matter concerned the newspaper, it was assumed that his remarks were on the record. The story was carefully checked out, and is entirely factual. Also, we maintain that any action against Tom Beiswenger concerning decisions made by him as editor are directed at the entire editorial board, as this is the decision making body of the paper. The Crier is trying something different this week. In an attempt to get more copy into the paper without going to extra pages, the Crier has reduced its type size to nine point. The paper had previously been done in 10 point. The smaller type face will allow more copy to get in each week, but will necessitate some format changes. —All copy must be sub- PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF CORNING COMMUNITY COLLEGE Tom Beiswenger.

OCTOBER 17. 1974 .1 The Crier Asks This week's question: Do you think smoking should be prohibited in classrooms and what is the reason for your answer? Sally Kirby, Freshman, Corning: “No, each student should do what they want in class. Unless it really affects non-smokers a lot." Tina Christofaro, Sophomore, Horseheads: “No, I don’t see anything wrong with it.” Paul Bermingham, Freshman, Elmira: “It’s up to the individual.” Keith Carrington, Freshman, Ithaca: “Yes, I don’t smoke and it irritates mv eves." A1 Fields, Sophomore, Ithaca: “Yes, because it would stop me from smoking so much.” Jeff Wheeler, Freshman, Bath: “Yes, it might catch the buildings on fire!" Ric Dunbar, Sophomore, Pine City: “No, there can be a section in the classrooms for those that smoke if it offends others.” Cindi Lynch, Freshman, Corning: "No, it’s a right of an individual to smoke.” Anna Yeager, Freshman, Corning: “Yes, because everyone is entitled to clean air.” Dan Crossman, Freshman, Bath: “No, because I smoke.” Gary Manchester, Freshman, Elmira: “Yes, it gets in your eyes and you can’t breathe.” Ron Larrea, Sophombre, Corning: “There should be a smokers section in each class towards the back of the room. But for the health of the students it shouldn’t be allowed at all.” Ed. Policies Decision Regrettable To the Editor: The ruling by the Educational Policies Committee, not to uphold the no-smoking in classrooms rule, is regrettable. With the knowledge and evidence we nave, it is unquestionable that a ban on smoking would benefit all persons involved and that smoking in a room is injurious to all who are present. It sounds all very nice and democratic to decide that students in individual classes should make the smoking decision, but if the ability of the smoking students and faculty to make a proper decision, is no better than their ability to handle a filthy and dangerous habit, (burned furniture, rugs and the general mess of butts, ashes, matches and cartons strewn wherever they go) then God help the non-smoker who occupies a room with them. While it is bad enough, that the smoker breathes the air which he or she fouls, it is intolerable that they be permitted to poisen the air which the non-smoker must breathe. Preferably, a total ban on smoking in classrooms should be invoked and enforced. Failing this, the following compromise is suggested. As a class begins, the instructor voices the following request - “All non-smokers please raise your hands.” If one hand goes up, (including the instructor’s) it should then be mandatory, that smoking be banned in that class. For those who may argue that a majority vote should decide the issue, it is well to remember that democracy means not only expressing the will of the majority, but also protecting the Rights of the minority. It will be interesting to see how well the College Community discharges that responsibility. Howard Easling ' C.C.C. Custodian es Publication Format mitted by Thursday before the next week’s publication at 3 p.m. Any copy received after that deadline may not get in, and no guarantees will be made. However, exceptions can be arranged by calling the Crier office to make alternate arrangements. —All copy must be typed, legibly written or printed. If copy is written or printed, material should be written on alternate lines and on one side of the paper only. If copy is typed, we ask writers to double space on a 70 space margin (was previously 60 space). —All ad copy must be in a week in advance to insure its placement in the following week’s paper. If these rules are followed, the new system will work well, and enable us to give the most comprehensive coverage of on campus news available. 4 THE CRIER. THURSDA Y. OCTOBER 17. 1974 The Grand Prix Weekend - 110,000 People Doing Their Thing The just passed Oct. 4-6 Grand Prix weekend attracted some 110,000 people to the Glen circuit, nestled in the hills above Watkins Glen. A record Grand Prix crowd, according to Bob Kelley, Grand Prix Corporation press director. Among that crowd were people of all types, some here for the races and others here for fun. The funseekers range from the bus burners in the Bog area to a group of guys who bared their buttocks and formed a pyramid of moons for Crier Photography Editor Tim Drake. Because It’s There Although the offbeat typified the funseekers, there were those who came to the Glen “because it’s there.” Lorraine Trifiletti, a brunette coed from Elkins Park, Pa. who claimed that she’s “not really into racing that- much,” - was a-mong this crowd. Ms. Trifeletti had met three youngsters on a huge rock outside the Paddock area. She planned to spend the day having a good time with her new found friends. The youngster Kristen and Kim Meyers of Horseheads and their friend from New York City Amy Anderson however were racing fans. All three had been to the Grand Prix last year. Asked why she came to the Grand Prix, Ms. Trifiletti said she and her fiance came with another couple who owned a new camper “and we wanted to get some use out of it.” Came Specifically For The Race In contrast to this group a couple from Rochester, Pete Pilarocia and Wendy Ferguson, came specifically for the race. Pilarocia is a drag racing fan and frequents the many drag racing tracks in the nation. Ms. Ferguson, also a racing buff, likes Grand Prix racing. The Glen race was a first for both. Along with this couple came George Millinghoffer and Kris Binn, also from Rochester. When queried as to her reasons for coming to the Glen, Ms. Binn said, “You see so many people from so many places." The group’s accomodations included an ice chest, charcoal grill and a small tent. They claimed that the nights were cold, but togetherness kept them warm. Varied Accommodations For most race fans and funseekers, camping provided a basic means for lodging and shelter. While most came well prepared with accommodations ranging from houses on wheels to U-Haul trailers, others kept warm together with their boy or girl friend in little tents pitched where ever space could be found. One camper, Mike Malone of Patterson, N.J., said he “wouldn’t camp anywhere but in the family area." He’s a race fan who came to the race in 1972 and got hooked. He’s been back ever since. Asked why he prefers the family area, he quipped, “I like to sleep” and you can't do that in the other^ areas with all the stereos blar-ring. By TOM BEISWENGER Crier Editor Since his visit in 1972, Malone has met several other race fans and coincid-ently, they all seem to end up in the same place each year at the Grand Prix. One of these race fans, Dennis Fowler of Otego, N.Y., is a writer. He wrote mostly hard pornography because it sells, but claims to detest the stuff. He said “I wrote 29 dirty books, but just couldn’t get it up for the 30th." The porno market has sagged, he says, and now he’s writing “clean stuff”, which he enjoys. Oldsters Come Too While the majority of the crowd is young, there were those older folks who wouldn’t miss the race. One man. Bob Fennelly of Cheshire, Conn., has followed the Grand Prix racing for the last 20 years. He says he has been to all the Glen Grand Prix except one. Another older woman, Hilda Dowden of Ontario, when asked what brought her to the Glen remarked, “my husband, I guess.” Her husband, Harold, who usually comes alone and roams the track, said he’s been trying to talk his wife into coming for some time. This year she came and claims she’ll be back. Crowd Has All Types However, the people scene at the Glen would not be complete without the freaks, the motorcycle gangs, the hippies with their long hair and militant slogans leftover from the 60’s. Most of this group are holed up in the Bog at the west end of the track. Although Glen officials had filled in the Bog this summer, the crowd still went through the yearly ritual of burning cars in the Bog. One unsuspecting victim of the Bog’s voracious appetite was a Greyhound bus, which was hijacked by three men. Four other cars also became sacrificial offerings in the sadistic ritual. One member of this sect, Zeke Bradkowski of Lancaster, Pa., sarcastically exclaimed that “the Glen is disgusting!” He also claimed to be Amish as he sat on the overturned and totally demolished bus. Organization Praised Contrasting to Bradkow-ski’s sarcastic remarks, Dennis Hoffman and Karen Donnelly of Dunkirk, N.Y., praised the organization of things at the race. Both are fans, and said the Glen offered the best of - everything; good camping, a challenging circuit and an exceptional field of drivers. Even the streakers were at home at the Glen, as their almost forgotten sport seemed to abound during the Grand Prix weekend. One streaker, who had been walking around in the raw all day Sunday, when prodded by shouts of • “speech!" clamly retorted. “I don’t have to, it speaks for itself.” The crowd at the Glen is entirely different than any other sporting crowd, they’re friendly, crazy, intelligent and fun loving. Nobody cares who does what, and its upon that assumption that these people act. Although it's the race that attracts them, it’s the crowd and it’s varied grain that makes the Glen. ROSE’S PAINT STORE 83-85 W. Market St. Corning, N.Y. 14830 Wall Paper, Paints Rental Machines A Fairy Tale at Watkins Glen Wild. Everyone imagines wild thoughts, but when a wild thought actually happens, that’s wild! During the United States Grand Prix Sunday, October 6, at Watkins Glen, I stood in the Paddock area outside the Pits watching the Andretti team unsuccessfully attempt to work with the malfunbtioning engine. Tom Wedgebury from Andretti’s Pit team approached me and asked if I would take his picture. He continued to ask me what I was doing. “Waiting for the Pit marshal to be distracted so that I can enter the pits,” I answered. With a sly smile he then pulled a pass out of his pocket with his name written-in, and the word PITS in bold type and said softly “will this help?” With an unbelievab- le reply of “Yes” and “thank you” I made my way into the pits. A fairy-tale atmosphere of make-believe suddenly “came alive. Photographers and media people hustled from pit to pit during a pit stop to investigate. Jackie Stewart anticipated a winner as he loitered around the Fittipaldi-Reutemann pit area. I noticed European women anxiously a-waiting their favorite driver to pass, as they observed under wide-brimmed black hats. The agony of defeat and the thrill of success could be felt from one pit area to another during the final laps. The media cleared the pits to the winner’s circle and the crowd soon followed. Two new cars outside the fence near the winner's circle held the weight of mobs of fans. When the crowd finally dispersed, two new abstract-shaped vehicles remained. Although the Argentinian team felt the success of the Grand Prix victory by Carlos Reutemann, the Austrian team experienced the worst defeat of new team member Hel-muth Koinigg’s death on the hairpin turn. The Watkins race was only his second Grand Prix ride. Koinigg’s wife stood in those same pits, where I had inhaled the thrill of excitement from the people a-round me, waiting for her husband to make another lap. This fairy-tale did not have a happily ever after ending. Dugo Makes Poor Showing in Super Vee Race Bob Dugo, an accounting instructor here and Formula Super Vee driver, is thinking seriously of retiring from road racing following a poor showing at the VW Gold Cup race held during this past Grand Prix Weekend. Dugo finished 27th out of a field of 37 drivers driving a new car sponsored by Bennett Racing of Corning. Dugo said he is having troubles with his car, as it Moonlight at As the sun set on Watkins Glen, more than one moon appeared, although only one shined. A policeman on foot at-empted to apprehend a young man on a motorcycle. The motorcyclist almost made a clean getaway, but two McCloud-type policemen on horse back thwarted his attempt and rounded him up for an unknown offense.

During this last race he said he blew a seal a few laps into the warm-up session immediately before the race. He pulled into the pits and his repair crew tried to remedy the situation. However, four laps into the race, officials black flagged him, sending him to the pits because he was dumping oil on the track. Watkins Glen The Goodyear Blimp computerized a neon home box office in the starry sky above Watkins Glen reading “Keep America Beautiful” as beer cans reflected the stars and the aroma of grass filled the air. A Ryder-van from Pennsylvania occupied by several college-aged males who pulled the doors off the adjacent womens room and walked in to explain their destruction. Minutes later a young woman exited the womens room with disgust screaming, “Children must play,” one of the responsible males answer- Although his pit crew still could not fix the broken seal, they did repair it well enough to allow Dugo to finish the last three laps of the 15 lap race. He won no prize money. Elliott-Forbes Robinson, leading from pole to finish, took first place. Harry Ingle only .25 seconds at Robinson’s heels finished second. The fastest qualifier for the race, Howdy Holmes, came in third. ed, “Gee, it’s great to be a kid again.” Another crew of older men decided to pay homage to the moon, and shot one themselves, pyramid style. As a song by Cher Bono, “Gypsies, Tramps, and Thieves,” blared from one of the amplified units at a near by camp the southern carnival drew the race crowd. The traditional cars burned in the bog, the traditional arrests were made by the Glen police force, and a fall evening died at approximately 5 a.m. Race Officials to Fill in or Pave Bog WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (UPI) - The infamous “bog” of Watkins Glen has devoured its last car, according to Grand Prix race track officials in this tiny upstate community. The bog, a natural drainage area about 200 yards long and 75 yards wide, has for the past few years been providing racing enthusiasts with a popular alternative to the Formula One cars screeching around the nearby track during racing weekends. "It all began in July of 1971 after we had recon- structed circuit and water had accumulated in the area," said Bob Kelly,- track public relations director. “At first, the bog was a test to see if spectators could drive their motorcycles through the mud from one to another without getting stuck.” The bog soon tired of these appetizers, however, and spectators brought old car wrecks to the track during races to satisfy its growing appetite. In almost ritualistic ceremonies, the crowds drove the wrecks into the bog and set them afire. Yet the bog’s greed grew as quickly as its reputation. Finally, during an event at the track last July, the bog was fed its first fresh food. Sacrificed in the bog along with the usual old junkers was a shiny new car, stolen from a nearby parking lot. The bog’s voracious appetite reached a new high last weekend when the Grand Prix of the United States was held at the Finger Lakes track. It consumed a total of 11 vehicles, including at least two late model cars and a Greyhound bus chartered from Syracuse. “This situation has become serious now,” said Kelly. “It’ll either be filled in or paved over, but I assure you it won’t be there next year.” Kelly said the track had hoped to fill in the bog with gravel prior to last weekend’s race “but we didn’t have the manpower or the time.” Are You Concerned?

OCTOBER 17. 1974 5 Bog Ritual Takes Greyhound Bus The Greyhound Bus Company lost of of its busses to the Bog during the Grand Prix Weekend, Oct. 4-6. Eyewitnesses said three men stole the bus Saturday from a hill above the Bog, near the west end of the track. The men took the bus out of gear and coasted it into the muddy area and burned it. These same witnesses said the bus was the largest vehicle ever destroyed in the Bog. Usually people bring cars and other vechicles to the Bog for the sadistic ritual which takes place during each race weekend. Often the cars are relatively new, while others either barely run, or are towed as sacrificial offerings to the Bog. A crowd of close to 5,000 watched as the bus burned, creating a pall of black smoke over the track during the running of the Formula Atlantic race. The race continued despite the poor visibility. Amid shouts of “To the Bog!” the crowd threw rocks, bottles, beer cans, and anything else they could find at the bus as it burned. Later that day, spectators overturned the bus. The huge vehicle valued at between $45,000 and $50,000 was one of five vehicles burned in the Bog over the weekend. Police said they suspect two other cars in the bog were stolen.

McLeod VW in Horseheads did clip off an impressing 43.6 miles per gallon of gas during the second annual running of the “32 Ounces of Watkins Glen” this past Grand Prix weekend. My car didn’t place first, but I did come in a respectable eighth place along with two other college editors. Our task was simple, race officials gave us 32 ounces of gasoline, which was strapped to the back of a 1974 stock Super Beetle, and we were told to drive forever, or until cur meager amount of fuel ran out, which ever came first. The competition was run on the Grand Prix Circuit in Watkins Glen. With this in mind, officials gridded the cars and lined us up on the opposite side of the track for what is called a Le Mans start.” This means that when the starter says go, we franctically run to our bug and go. Sounds simple. However, this editor could not get the seat belt/ignition lock system to operate and fiddled with his seat belt, as he cussed Ralph Nader, whose idea it was to encumber Americans with this menacing device, until he finally got the blasted thing to work. The 17 of us in the competion were given 950 seconds to make two laps of the track, which means that one must average at least 33 miles per hour. I went 42 MPH, as I’ve driven VW’s for two years, and found that my best mileage came around that range. Other drivers had been told to drive at 35 mph, and not wishing to be deviant, obeyed. This meant that I led the entire race for three laps, with the nearest driver a quarter of a mile back. Although this nonconformity didn’t win me the race and the $150 first prize money, it did give me and my sponsor plenty of publicity as I generally made a fool of myself. The race was worth it though, as Rob Schron, a VW onic-\ial, awarded me $10 and a bottle of champagne for the day’s effort. The field of drivers came from college and commercial newspapers throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Dave Dillon of the Evening Sun of Norwich, N.Y. took first place with 57.2 MPG. Even the last place driver, Mike Birk of SUNY Albany’s paper, the Albany Student Press, managed 38 mpg, which is 14 mpg better than VW advertises for its Super Beetle. Follmer Wins Grudge Match-Takes Home $10,000 Prize George Follmar of California outdueled Jackie Oliver of England to win the “Shadow Showdown” grudge match, one of the several preliminary events of the 1974 United States Grand Prix held earlier this month. Operating a Can-Am shadow, Follmar came in 15 seconds ahead of Oliver in a 15 lap, winner-take-all match race. The only other driver in the race was France’s Jean-Pier-re Jarier who finished a distant third. The preliminary event was organized as a result of a feud between Oliver and Follmar. Follmar had earlier been ordered to place second to Oliver by Shadow officials during the Can-Am season. With the triumph, Follmar took home $10,000. 6 THE CRIER. THURSDA Y.

OCTOBER 17. 1974 Crier Request Approved Group To Discuss Drug Problems at Meeting The Crier will get new typewriters because of action taken at the last Activities Surplus Committee meeting Oct. 2. The paper had submitted a budget request for $1016 to the Committee, which is deliberating allocation of monies left over from last year's student activities budget. The committee was previously told by financial Officer Raymond Harter that the total surplus a-mounted to $15,000, but auditor’s figures showed only $12,176 available. Harter's figure was wrong because he included monies that were already earmarked for other purposes, according to A1 Paparelli, Greetings again friends. It's time to continue with the United States, and probably by now you are getting as frightened as Euell Gibbons watching a forest fire at dinnertime. And for those of you interested (?) in knowing the states that have time zones running through them, they are: Wisconsin, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Florida (Eastern-Central Time Zone Line): N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas (Central-Mountain Time Zone Line): Idaho, Oregon (Mountain-Pacific Time Zone Line); and last but not least - Alaska with 4 different time zones (Yukon, Alaska-Hawaii, Western Alaska, and Bering). Now on to today’s stuff --question 1: what percentage of American households have television sets? It now seems that the TV set has acquired the importance in most homes (must be the soap operas) because a reputed 95% of all American households own boob tubes. Can you name the state that has lead the country in the production of lead? The answer to question two is the “Show Me” (show me what?) state, Missouri which cranked out 75% of the nation's lead.

However, this did not affect the unanimous approval by the student committee of the paper’s total request. With this additional funding the Crier will purchase two IBM typewriters for use in preparing copy for . publication in its weekly issues. The present typewriters the paper owns are three years old and need repair. The budget approval makes the repair unnecessary as they will be traded in on new machines. in other action, the committee set three other budget requests as top priority. Action on these proposals was scheduled for yesterday’s meeting. only way that you could have answered this correctly is if you have had an outrageous telephone bill. The area codes all have either a “0" or “1” for the middle number. Here's a question for you beerdrinkers that will separate the sippers from the chuggers: Where . is the “Land Of Sky Blue Waters”?

The old Drop Inn Center, located on Market St. in Corning did not meet the needs of the community. This sentiment was voiced by a group of students and community members concerned with the lack of adequate crisis intervention facilities in Corning. The group, comprised of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Madi-gan. community members, and Larry Dixon and Bob Prince, students, have scheduled a meeting Oct. 30 at 8:00 p.m. at the Corning Hilton to discuss this problem. All group members are former Drop Inn workers. The group has sent out invitations to various community organizations to attend. According to Mrs. Madigan, most agencies have accepted. Participants will be asked to answer three questions related to drug problems in the community. Following this discussion, group members and participants will attempt to define the scope of the drug problem in the area, determine the unmet needs of the community and measure the group interest in forming a Narcotics Guidance Council. Both Mr. Dixon and Mrs. Madigan stressed that a new facility would not duplicate the services already offered by the Family Service Center. The old Drop Inn has closed and recently reopened as the Family Service Center. Before it handled many drug related cases. If those present at the meeting feel a narcotics guidance center is necessary in Corning, another meeting will be scheduled to begin formulating plans for community support and actual implementation of the center. In discussing the Oct. 30 meeting, Mrs. Madigan stressed the need for a locally based facility. She said, “there is a new swing toward locally based, rather than county based facilities for handling drug problems.” The Drop Inn is and has always been, county sponsored.

N.Y. 13201 1____________________________________ Useless Information J COMPILED By TOM BENTSEN s THE CRIER. THURSDA Y. OCTOBER 17. 1974 9 Amphitheatre Undergoes Change Despite Problems The Science Amphitheatre underwent changes last week, but according to Hank Moonschein, associate professor of English and advisor to the Drama Club, lack of cooperation will cause the renovations to cost more than had been anticipated. Money to make the changes is coming from a $6,500 Science Amphitheatre Renovation Fund approved last summer. Crews began the renovation during the mini-mester last year. Work done then included erecting two banks of lights, removal of the front row of seats and construction of a stage. The Drama Club, which is in charge of allocations from the fund, spent $2,500 for these renovations. This left $4,000 which is being used to finish the job. However, Moonschein said, “We had to spend a lot more money on labor and overtime pay because the Buildings and Grounds crew was not able to reno- vate the theater completely and because we had to pay Syracuse Scenery double time for Saturday work because we could not move classes out of the Science Amphitheatre” this Friday afternoon. He added that “we could have saved a lot of money if we had more cooperation.” The lack of cooperation apparently stems from Associate Professor of Music Dr. James Hudson’s refusal to move his Friday Chorus class out of the amphitheatre so the Syracuse work crew could hang a cyclor-ama curtain Friday afternoon instead of Saturday. Asked to comment on the matter. Dr. Hudson said he has always been “more than willing to cooperate” with Moonschein while the amphitheatre was undergoing renovations. But he said that his chorus group is rehearsing for several upcoming performances and the amphitheatre is the only room on campus with Coordinater of Entry Program Named Mrs. Jane M. Ulrich of 122 Weston Lane, Painted Post, has been named Coordinator of the College Entry Program for Disadvantaged Adults at Coming Community College. The program was initiated by the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services following a grant of $31,650 of Title I Federal Funds with Richard J. West, former Deputy Director of SCEOP as coordinator. Mrs. Ulrich is a 1972 graduate of Corning Community College and is one of the first graduates of the Human Services program. She served with the U.S. Department of Housing and Development as a housing advisor following Hurricane Agnes. And and her husband, Ronald, a Corning Glass Works employee, have four children and have resided in the Coming area for the past fourteen years. YOUR COMMUNITY BANK ANNOUNCES AN INCREASE IN THE EARNING POWER OF YOUR REGULAR SAVINGS FROM DAY-OF DEPOSIT TO DAY-OF-WITHDRAWAL FIRST BANK & TRUST COMPANY of CORNING DOWNTOWN BANKING ERWIN BANKING an in-tune piano. However, Hudson said he has cancelled Friday's class because he will be out of town. He would comment no further. When informed of this development, Moonschein said he was unaware of the cancellation. Asked if this will change plans for hanging the cyclorama curtain, he said it was too late because arrangements had already been made for crews to come Saturday. But when asked what will happen if the renovations cost more than allocated, Moonschein said, “We’ll take it out of the Drama Club budget. It is too bad, but we do need a theatre.” Even when the renovations are complete, they will still fall short of the original plans, which called for removal of all but three rows of seats and installation of plush carpeting, in addition to the renovations presently being made. The reason for this, according to Dave Frank, dean of college services, is because the seats are anchored in the concrete floor and must be cut with an ac-etelyne torch at a substantially higher cost than had previously been estimated. However, Moonschein says the real reason is because the room is used as a classroom. The theatre is an auxiliary function. Moonschein said the drama group has tried, with little success, to get instructors to move their classes to other rooms such as the Nursing Amphitheatres. This has not received much support because of the expensive equipment contained in the Nursing Amphitheatres. Moonschein says the situation is now reversed, though, as the Science Amphitheatre will, following renovations, contain more expensive equipment than either of the Nursing Amphitheatres. He said the situation boils down to a conflict between the drama group and the instructors using the Science Amphitheatre. Theatre Completed The Science Amphitheatre will be more suited to dramatic production following renovations which are slated to be completed this Saturday. The renovation program began with a grant from the Faculty Student Association for $6,500, approved last summer. The changes being finished this week will mark the completion of rennovations under this grant. These renovations include removal of the acoustical ceiling above the stage and rehousing of the speaker in it; repainting of the walls and ceiling around the stage; removal of a row of seats, giving more stage space; installation of a complete lighting system, with a control board in the projection room and installation of a cyclorama curtain a-round the sides and back of the stage, giving needed back stage area. According to Henry Moonschein, associate professor of English and advisor to the Drama Club, the changes are open ended, in that they will allow future changes as monies become available. The drama group plans to use the completed facility for the first time this month with the production of the play “Dracula”. Moderate Crowd Hears Amnesty Convocation Market ft Cantor-way, Coming Rd.. Rt. 107 AMNESTY convocation panelists Crier Photo by Judi Sparks Moonschein Drops Action President Ford’s proposal for amnesty was the topic of discussion at a mini convocation, Thursday, October 3. The panel consisted of George Kimble and Don Greenwalt, both students and veterans; Dr. Robert Guiffrida, professor of humanities and advisor of the Vet’s Club and A1 Poole, professor of phy-chology. However, the respectable sized audience in the science amphitheatre controlled discussion of the amnesty issue. The main accomplishment of the convocation a-mounted to a college of opinions which melded into other new opinions. Hank Moonschein decided late last week to drop action against the Crier regarding copy and publication policies. This action came after the Crier had agreed to meet with him concerning this matter. He told Crier Layout Editor Sandy Carpenter he wanted to meet with the editors, but his present schedule would not permit it. In agreeing to the meeting, the; Crier stipulated thaj; aU remarks had to be on the record and publish- able at the paper's discretion. However, the meeting was not to be open to the public. The paper also said that because the matter had to do with Crier policies, no action would be exclusively directed at Editor Tom Beiswenger. According to other stipulations, the meeting would be held by Oct. 15, and representatives from Student Government and Student Life would be present as witnesses and moderators. Guiffrida Leaving for Sabbatic Dr. Robert T. Guiffrida, humanities professor, will leave at the end of this semester for a sabbatic leave. In making this announcement, Dr. Guiffrida said interested persons should complete any matters of advisement, transfer, letters of recommendation, club advising, committees, etc. before the end of classes Dec. 13. He said that after this date he will not be on campus on any regular basis. 10 THECRIEH. THURSDA Y.

Commons is “Right On Four representatives from CCC participated in a regional convention of college unions held in Troy. New York, September 27-29. Colleges and Universities from all across N.Y. State and from Provinces of Ontario and Quebec sent approximately 130 students and directors to take part in workshops and discussions. Guest speakers covered topics such as values clarification. racism as an attitude which white people need to change, and current trends in budget. Nancy Andrews, assistant director of student activities, noted the name “Commons” seemed unique compared to other schools. Generally, such a division is known as a “Union”. Only the Commons offers a salary to student associates. She and Lisa Haines were able to help the University of Rochester plan a grape festival. This they feel, exemplifies how the convention “gave opportunity for exchange of ideas and to explore ideas used in other schools.” A1 Paparelli feels the biggest gain is “in verification that the things Corning is doing is right on”. In some areas, such as the video tape system. Coming is advanced. Along with Melanie Norwichi, the fourth Corning delegate. the group is gathering information on peer counseling, now employed at Brockport and Cornell. They are looking into a program of Arts and Crafts which would be used for educational and money making purposes. A similar convention geared toward two year colleges may be held in the spring. Paparelli would like to see representatives from major clubs and organizations attend and advises interested clubs to budget accordingly. For more information, check with the Activities Office. Campus Ministry Outlined President Ford Tuesday told the nation he wants a five percent tax surcharge to finance the government’s efforts to beat back inflation. Reaction was mixed and criticism was not confined to Democrats. Ford’s proposals were varied but unspectacular. The biggest point of debate was the income figure he set for his surtax to take effect, 15 thousand. Many critics said they wanted the added tax to start with higher incomes. Ford’s supporters say the lower base was needed to collect enough revenue. Among Ford’s other proposals was a voluntary committment to save energy, a plea for Congress to remove acreage limitation on crops, a request for tougher anti-trust legislation, proposed increases to lower business taxes, more ’ employment benefits, and increased housing funds. The stock market believed, rising 45 points two days following Ford’s speech. U.S. Aid To Turkey Cut Ford's most serious con- . frontation so far with Congress has come in a foreign policy area, aid to Turkey. Despite last minute pressures the President and Congressional leader exerted in favor of postponing any halt in foreign aid to the Turks, House members voted to cut it off anyway. The congressmen so denied themselves an early start to an election recess and set up a test of wills to see if Ford’s promised veto can be overridden. The congressmen are angry at the way Turks used United States supplied weaponry to move on to Cyprus and kick around a lot of Greek-Cypriots and Greek-American sympathies. Mrs. Ford Returns Home Looking tired but still smiling, Betty Ford left the hospital for home and some more recuperation. Doctors say her recovery from cancer surgery has been excellent so far. Watergate Jury Chosen As the week ended, 18 persons gathered their toothbrushes and clothing and prepared for a long journey into history^ for what promises to be several months of testimony, a duel of legal virtuosos and a test of much evidence. The 12 jurors and six alternates were sworn in Friday by Judge John Sirica and then isolated from news accounts of the trial, or of the ddfendents. Once that happened, special prosecutor Leon Jaworski declared the Watergate case could do without him. President Ford Saturday accepted Jaworski’s resignation as special prosecutor. Attorney General William Saxbe said the resignation was not a surprise because Jaworski had earlier indicated that once the bulk of the work was completed in the Watergate Investigation, he would resign. There appeared to be no avenue of argument which could yet convince Judge Sirica to postpone the trial, including motions of John Ehrlichman and H.R. Hald-erman objecting to the likely absence of the star witness they hoped for, Richard Nixon. Mills Involved In Bizarre Incident If a television cameraman who cruises Washington at night hoping for news stories to film ever had a fantasy with seemingly less chance of being fulfilled it would go something like this: to photograph the powerful chair- man of the House Ways and Means Committee apparently intoxicated and bruised from an attempt to keep a former stripper from leaping into the water in front of the Jefferson Memorial. But it came true for one such photographer and when his camera started rolling there was no chance the story of Wilbur Mills would not be candidly and immediately reported everywhere. On Thursday Mills issued a statement stating he was “embarrassed and humiliated" by the episode which saw the former stripper jump from Mills' car into a tidal basin and be rescued by police. At week’s end. Mills was reported ill. Mills said he was only taking a sick neighbor home from a party and that his wife was now sorry she stayed home despite her broken foot. Not only is important tax legislation currently in Mills’ committee but his career could be at stake as well. In less than one month he faces his stiffest opposition ever at the polls back in Arkansas, Where Republicans were clipping news pictures of the former stripper in costume. Gun Accident Injures Kissinger Guard If blind chance needed another opportunity to prove how it can hold the final cards in human affairs, it used it in Cairo. An automatic weapon fell from a rack inside Henry Kissinger’s jet as it rumbled down a runway. The gun went off. The bullet didn’t miss Kissinger by much and didn't miss a Secret Service agent at all. But the injury was not serious and the peace trip went on, from Egypt, to Syria and into Israel. The campus ministry at CCC was outlined at the September meeting of the Coming Vicinity Council of churches. Reverend Nelson Rep-pert, associate pastor of Grace United Methodist church, and Catholic Chaplain, Father Murphy, both of whom serve the CCC ministry, are planning a White Racism Workshop for clergy November 13-14. The workshop will be held in conjunction with the Council and the Division of Continuing Education at CCC. Altered End Fall Weekend The Altered End Coffeehouse on Market Street will hold its fall weekend, Oct. 18 and 19. The weekend will feature entertainment by Xyphus, a local jazz rock group, and Bill Gray, a local folk musician. Xyphus is slated to play from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. Friday night, with Gray slated to appear Saturday night from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. According to Larry Carr, one of the local coordina- tors, Xyphus uses many international instruments during their performance. He said they played last year during this weekend and didn't quit until 1:30 a.m. He said there is no cover charge for this weekend, but noted there will be a hat pass during the performance, as neither Xyphus or Gray are charging the Altered End for their services.

New State Law Discussed at EC Five weeks ago the State Assembly and Senate passed and Governor Wilson signed a bill designed to give the public easier access to public documents generated by governmental organizations. James Tomson, executive director of the Committee of Public Access in Albany, and James Plante of ABC News in New York discussed this law, its history and provisions, at a forum held Oct. 5 in the Emerson Auditorium at Elmira College. Bruce Flaherty of WSYE-TV in Elmira served as moderator for the panel discussion. According to Tomson, whose committee is an offspring of this recently signed legislation, the law has been in the works since 1971. It passed both houses, but Governor Nelson Rockefeller vetoed it. Supporters again mustered support for the bill in 1972. Although it spent a long period of time in committee before final passage this year, the new law is DeCOratedCakes! J The Tasty Bakery Comer East Market & Cedar Coming considered one of the most comprehensive freedom of access documents ever executed, Tomson said. It is the first law of its kind in New York, and gives both the public and newsmen a greater extension of so-called “newsmen’s privilege". However, the panelists stressed that the new freedom of access does not just cover newsmen, but the public as well. It is no longer necessary for the person seeking access to a public document to show cause, as previous laws had stipulated. Instead, public agencies must provide the information on demand. If they deny this access, they must give the person seeking the information a reason for denial in writing within seven business days. If the person is not satisfied with the reason, he may appeal the decision in the courts by proving capriciousness on the part of the public agency. The law outlines nine areas covered by this bill and describes procedures in: dividuals must use to get access to these documents.

OCTOBER 17. 1974 11 Wine Festival’s Future in Doubt This year’s Wine Festival, although the most successful, may have been the last for some time if the College trustees have their way. At their regular meeting held last week, Board of Trustees Chairman Arthur Worster expressed sentiment that this year’s festival, which attracted a record crowd, may have been more than the College can handle. Dr. Robert W. Frederick, Jr., College president, felt the same way, and said that as long as the College relies on volunteers to direct the festivals, it may not be able to continue. He said the College may have to look at other ways of getting money for financial aid programs. However, a week before the meeting the Crier learned from a well placed source that this year’s festival was the last. The source said there was growing sentiment among planners and workers that the festival is getting too big and may strangle on its own success. Asked to comment on these developments, Robert Kelley, this year's festival coordinator, said he hadn’t heard specifically as to the event’s future. But he surmised from Worsteds comments that there wouldn’t be another festival. Kelley did say that he had “some reservations about calling it off,” though. He said the problem is mechanical and could be remedied by selling only advance tickets. This would limit the number of people able to pass through the gate. Kelley stressed, that although there are always reservations after each festival, there were at least two positive aspects of this year’s festival. He said it exposed the campus better than ever before, as more members and organiza- tions were involed, plus it generated more money for financial aid programs than previous years. He said profits will easily amount to at least $12,000 even though there are still some outstanding bills. As to Dr. Frederick and Worster’s complaints, Kelley said many erf the problems could be solved if more people were paid. This would eliminate the traditional problem of vol-’ unters in crucial positions not showing up the day of the event. “I feel the benefits out weigh the criticisms,” he said. When queried about whether there is sentiment among planners and workers to call it quits, Kelley said, he thought there is a concensus among this group to keep the festival, with some reservations. However, he stressed this “doesn’t mean that there is wholehearted support” for the idea. Frank Resolves Free Hour Scheduling Hassles “No classes will be scheduled during the free hours unless there are no other classrooms available.” This is the word from A1 Paparelli, director of activities, following a meeting he, and other students and faculty had with David C. Frank, dean of college services. According to Paparelli, complaints voiced in both Student Government and Inter-Club Council meet- ings prompted the meeting. These complaints a-rose from the scheduling of classes in the free hours during the week, which are set aside as free time for students. The free time a-lso enables student organizations and clubs to hold their meetings when club members can attend. The free hours are Mon., Wed., and Fri. from 1-2 p.m. and Tues. and Thurs. from 12:30 - 2 p.m. No classes are to be scheduled during these times according to college policy. In response to the complaints, Frank sent out a memo to all division chairmen listing the classes breaking the rule. He said no classes would be scheduled during these times starting next semester, unless there is an absolute necessity. One exception might be nursing classes and labs, Paparelli said.

Buildings and Grounds crews completed work on a new facility in place of the old one which blew down last Easter. According to Don Beck, dean of students, the new modern-looking facility cost the College $2,500 to build. According to Beck, the present facility differs substantially from ones previously designed by College architects. The other designs would have cost the College at least twice what this facility cost. The present facility serves the same function just as well with a less elaborate design. Beck said. Security Loosens Over Vacation Campus security remained loose last week, as buildings were again left open during the late night hours. College custodial crews spent most of the week scrubbing and waxing classroom floors, and in many cases had to leave expensive classroom equipment in the building corri- dors. Despite the easier access-ability to this equipment, buildings were neither locked or checked after 5 p.m. As of 10:30 p.m. Friday night, the Nursing Building remained wide open. Many doors were even blocked open. FRANKLY SPEAKING... .by phil frank "I STINK, THffREftJRE, I AM !* Great Moments In Sports When a Pro Football team has a passer like Jim Plunkett around, a game can be turned around in a hurry. The Atlanta Falcons discovered this in a hurry on a September afternoon in 1972. The homeside New England Patriots trailed the Falcons 20-7 going into the final period. Placekicker Bill Bell put the Falcons ahead 3-0 with a 38 yard field goal in the opening quarter. Then he added a 21 yarder to make it 6-0 early in the second period. With time running out in the half, the Patriots pushed their way into Atlanta territory. Josh Ashton took a handoff in the shadow of the goal posts and bulled in to the end zone to nudge the Patriots ahead at halftime, 7-6. But the fans at Foxboro, Massachusetts, didn’t have much to cheer about in the third quarter. Art Malbne and Dave Hampton were the culprits. Malone smashed over the middle of the line midway through the period and Hampton raced around end for his score about six minutes later. Plunkett had his work cut out for him in the final session. He directed the CORNING AUTO J • Automotive Supplies • And • Machine Shop Service • • 936-3774 * 107 Market Street • Corning, New York • team 83 yards on a dozen plays early in the final period, pitching a 37 yarder to Randy Vataha for the score. Now the Patriots trailed, 20-14. The Falcons failed to move the ball on the next series and Plunkett took over on his own 22. First he hit Vataha on a short pass, then unloaded a 40 yard bomb to Reggie Rucker. Less than eight minutes showed on the scoreboard clock when Carl Garrett took a handoff and ripped 12 yards up the middle for a touchdown. The extra point was good and New England took the lead, 21-10. But the Falcons weren’t about to quit. They had one more chance to sew up the game when Bell readied for a 10 yard field goal try with only 18 seconds left in the contest. The fans held their breath. But Bell’s attempt veered off to the left, and seconds later the gun sounded, ending the game. The Patriots had rallied for a 21-10 victory over Atlanta. This year has been one big turnaround for the Patriots. Coming in to th^ir game on Sunday, the Patriots were 4-0 and in first place. EXTENSION OF DEADLINE The Transfer Office has been notified that the October 15, 1974 deadline for guaranteed transfers for Spring 1975 Admission to SUNY colleges has been extended to November 1 1974. 12 THE CRIER. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1974 Crier spwus Reutemann, Fittipaldi Big Winners at Glen Carlos Reutemann, driving a White Brabham Ford, led the entire field from start to finish to take the U.S. Grand Prix title but Emerson Fittipaldi was the big winner, grabbing the World Championship of Drivers by placing a steady fifth in Grand Prix circuit’s season finale. Reuteman,, a native of -Argentina, took the jpole position in Saturday’s'pre-liminaries and never let up the following day in the actual race competition. In second place was Reu-temann’s teammate Carlos Pace. This prompted Fittipaldi to later remark that it was a proud day for South Americans. But the race within the race, the drive for the World Championship between Fittipaldi, Clay Reg-azzoni, and Jody Scheck-ter, was won by Fittipaldi. Going into the race Fittipaldi had compiled 52 points in title standing, tied with Regazzoni. Scheckter was next with 45. Fittipaldi merely had to finish to the top six places to oust Scheckter while finishing ahead of Regazzoni. Regazzoni never got into the top 10 places while Scheckter blew his engine after the 90 degree turn and was forced to withdraw. Meanwhile Fittipaldi finished at a steady fourth place pace to claim the title. The only bad note of the day was the tragic death of Helmuth Koinigg of Australia. Koinigg was decapitated in just his second Grand Prix race ever. The American favorite, Mario Andretti, didn’t even finish the race. Andretti’s engine would not start when the starter dropped the green flag to begin the race. In a flagrant violation of FIA rules, his pit crew ran out on to the track to push Andretti to a start. He was blackflagged after he completed only one lap, thus disqualifying him from competition. Freebees Top Oddballs By One After three weeks of play the Freebees and the Oddballs stack up as the dominant forces of the Intramural Bowling League. In action last week, the Freebees hung on to first place by the mere margin of 18 pins over the runnerup Oddballs. Meanwhile Phil’s Fleas moved ahead of the What for third place while the You Guys and the Angels bring up the rear. The week’s best men’s scratch score was recorded by the Whats’ Jim White at 562 while the Oddballs’ Jim Smallback was high with the men’s handicapped score at 571. The women’s field was paced by Marlene Meehan’s top scratch score of 366 while Pam Willey had the handicapped best with a 437. White maintained his league-leading average at 175 and Rich Cornell took over second at 161 while Smallback moved into third with a 158. White also had the week’s best game with a 203, the league’s best this season.

Two weeks ago players were asked to hand in their equipment. Early in September the program was launched and the successful Corning East High School coach, Joe Corcoran, and former All-American goalie from Cornell, Pete Graham, volunteered their services to act as coaches. Corcoran said 25 players were needed and when the most he could muster was 20, the program was discontinued. But the players fought back for the pro- gram and brought it back to life. This time however, Corcoran reported that only nine players reported to practice. Corcoran said many players had gotten jobs and couldn’t play. With not enough players to play a game much less have substitutes, the team was killed again and this time buried. Corcoran remarked that if the players go out for the Intercollegiate team in the spring, the team should be very good. Gary Lagola, a team member, told the Crier, “The coaches were completely fair about the whole thing.” MARIO ANDRETTI receives illegal starting push from his pit crew. Throughout the country most colleges have abandoned the Physical Education requirement. But at our very own CCC, as with all state colleges, you’ve got to have two credit hours of PE and get an acceptable grade if you want to graduate. To escape the PE requirement, students here can take proficiency exams, participate in intramurals, or take independent study. Being a veteran or at least 21 years of age will also serve this purpose. But unless you have a serious ailment, you’re going to have to take that long, lonely walk out to the gymnasium twice a week for half a semester, like it or not. Let’s face it. Everyone attending college is at least 17-18 years of age and can reasonably be considered an adult. By this time one is capable of deciding for oneself whether he or she wants to take physical education. With this thought in mind, I say don’t do a-way with PE, but make it optional, except of course in the case of a Phys. Ed. major. The gym credits you earn here will not transfer to many private schools and besides, a person who has come this far in life should be able to reason things out with himself on this subject. Gym should be a privilege to be offered to any student willing to take it and not as an all out “must” forced upon us. .One argument advocat-ipg the PE requirement is that young people need it to stay physically fit. This statement is totally invalid. Working out for two hours'eaeh week for six or seven straight weeks would hardly accomplish true physical fitness. An athlete knows he would need six weeks Or even longer a period of rigorous training daily to merely get into shape, much less maintain good form. Not that physical fitness is the only goal of PE. The PE courses are designed to give knowledge of the different sports and their practices as well as giving a person some guidelines on how he or she can improve their bodies and lead a good life physically. But again, make it optional. It should be left up to the individual student. However, along with the practical uses of PE, another reason for the physical education requirement might be economical. If it were made optional, a great decrease in students taking gym would probably ensue. Money, equipment, instructor, scheduling problems would arise. But if that is the price, it should be paid because state education is susposed to serve us and our tuition and taxes pay for it. It should be our decision on how we use the college since it is our education. In conclusion I feel that physical education does have many useful purposes and should be a part of the college curriculum. • But the students are all adults here and should be able to determine for themselves if gym should be a part of their very own curriculum. Women’s Volleyball Team Begins Play Softball Strikes Out Due to a number of problems the Intramural Soft-ball League folded. Intramural Director Wayne Barton announced. On the basis of forfeits and actual games played, TBA was proclaimed the champion. When the league was first organized, it consisted of two faculty ttiams and five student teams and after the first week of some spirited play, TBA, Woody's, and the Faculty Stars were atop the loop with undefeated records. But after that first happy week, nothing but bad luck followed it in whatever it did. The demise began with a decline of interest which resulted in a number of forfeited games. Then, lieavy rains plagued the league. A new schedule was drawn up but a run of cold weather put the clinkers on it. In the future Barton said he will try not to schedule so many games in such a short time. This he plans to apply to the upcoming football intramurals, which are also up in the air due to a lack of interest. The 1974-75 Corning Community College Intercollegiate Sports year will kickoff play with the CCC Women’s Volleyball team in action on Monday afternoon. Last year the Red Baronesses, coached by Miss Mary Gail Lee, recorded a perfect 6-0 league record and won the championship of the Women's New York State Junior College Sports Organization Eastern Division. The team also took a third place in the overall League tournament. This year Miss Lee’s Baronesses figure to" fie Id another outstanding squad. "We have a lot more depth than last year," said Miss Lee. “In fact, there's more talent here than I know what to do with." After a two week training period extending from September 9 through the 20th. the team was molded down to its best 13 players. Leading the squad are four returners, sophomores Jean Farmer, Sherry Simpson, Cathy Kulfe, and Kathy Kennedy. The team's nine newcomers are Dawn Stillwell Monday Debbie Bauer, Elizabeth Knorel, Cyndie Krise, and Pat Loop, and freshmen Donna Dayton, Carol Sullivan, Cathy Blunt, and Kiki Galvin. Ath this time the team's starting and substitute positions have not been decided on. Three candidates are competing for the all important top setting position. They are Kathy Kennedy, Pat Loop,and Debbie Bauer, who was injured but expects to be back in action soon. "I expect this team to go undefeated again within our own Division," says Miss Lee. Asked of her chances to win the League tournament, the volleyball coach and also teacher of Body Mechanics, Basketball, Archery, and Volleyball PE classes said that there’s, a possibility." The schedule has the Baronesses at Ithaca College in their initial contest on Monday at 4:00 p.m.. On Wednesday Geneseo Community College will provide the competition in their home opener at the CCC gym at 7:00 p.m..
