Volume XIII, No. 5 . Coming Community College______________________________October 13, 1972 Edgar Winter Signed For Fall Weekend by KEN BYRNES You are probably well aware of the problems that NIRVANA PRODUCTIONS has come up against in recent weeks concerning the booking for fall concert. You might even remember filling out a questionnaire asking you what groups you would prefer for fall concert. Well, old Edgar Winter was rated as most desirable but we decided it wasn’t feasible, due, in part, to Edgar Winter’s cost -$6,000. We then turned to the format of Kool and the Gang, Eggs Over Easy, and headline MARK-ALMOND. On last Thursday, late in the afternoon, we received a call from Mike Martinell of Premier Talent in New York City. He told Larry Snyder of NIRVANA that Jon Mark, lead guitarist, fell out of a coconut tree in Hawaii. Unfortunately for him and us, as he fell he caught a finger ring on something and he’s out of commission for at least a month. That left us back where we started ... no group, no drawing power, that we could afford. However Mike lowered the price of Edgar Winter to $5,000 to put him within reach. Friday morning an emergency meeting of I.C.C. was called to see if we could somehow get the extra money. It was decided after much debate that the concert was feasible if we raised ticket prices to $3.50 for CCC students and $4.00 for outsiders. We then called our printers, who had been told to hold all publicity until further notice. Kenny Byrnes gave the go-ahead for publicity, Larry Snyder called Seneca Sound and a lighting organization from Boston, while Joe Ross prepared and delivered a verbal announcement over WCBC to anyone who happened to be in the Commons. Action didn’t stop there. There were folders to prepare, crews to re-organize, photos to find, etc. But what really matters is - FINALLY FALL CONCERT IS REAL!! EDGAR WINTER IS COMING. The Dikes of North Viet nam: A Deliberate Attack PARIS (LNS) — A team of observers, many of them technically expert in geology and soil engineering, recently returned from a visit to North Vietnam where they had gone under the auspices of the international Commission of Investigation on War Crimes in Vietnam to study the effects of the intensive American bombing and to determine whether war crimes had been committed. Their unanimous conclusion was that the American bombing was deliberately aimed at the destruction of human lives, and the means of existence, rather than against military targets in the strict sense. In this context they found that the bombing of the vital dike system of the DRV has been systematic and is intended to break the dikes and cause the death of millions through drowning and famine — two inevitable results of the flooding if the dikes burst. They reported extensive damage to the dikes of the Red River which have been under heavy air attack since May. Participating in the Commission — which stayed in North Vietnam from July 29 to August 13 visiting a variety of installations and freely interviewing the inhabitants, — were: Swedish lawyer Hans Goran Frank; Ramsay Clark, President Johnson’s Attorney General; Sean McBride, from Ireland, President of Amnesty International; Danish deputy Frode Ja-kobsen; Soviet Doctor Nina Kolesnikova; Gregori Lochkin, the Secretary of the USSR-Vietnam Solidarity Committee; Swedish movie directors Lennart Maimer and Ingela Romare; Daniel Man-delbaum, a French engineer; and Yves Lacoste, French geographer and professor at the College de France. At a meeting in Paris, September 13, the French members of the Commission reported on its findings. The Geographer Yves Lacoste pointed out the difference between the all-out attack on the dikes nowunder way and the bombings of the Johnson era — “The bombings under Johnson were far less intensive," he said, “and they were interrupted in June — just before the period of the heavy rains which comes in July, August and September. The reason for the interruption was the fear of world opinion, — for the destruction of the dikes in the period of heavy rains could provoke a major catastrophe." Today, Lacoste explained, the U.S. is restrained by no such “scruples.” He then proceeded to show that the bombings were concentrated in those very areas of the DRV where the bursting of the dikes would cause the most damage to people and their crops. “What struck me,” he contin- (Continued on Page 11) THE CRIER- Oct. 13, 1972-Page 2 Chopping Block Notes from Skid Roe Modern Genocide by CHRIS MORTON, Editor-in-Chief On Carrying a The present, intentional bombing of the dikes of North Vietnam is an act of genocide being perpetrated on the peoples of the world by Richard M. Nixon. These attacks, jus tified by Nixon as being unavoidable errors of accuracy made by U. S. Air Force pilots aiming for strictly military targets, are the most outrageous acts of manslaughter in Nixon’s moves to wind down the war. a war which has seen the most severe air bombardment in history. This is not the first time the dikes of the Red River Delta have been bombed. In 1945 the Japanese bombed the dikes and over 2 million people were reported dead as a result of flooding - many of them having died of starvation because of the loss of crops. President Johnson, according to the Pentagon Papers was also responsible for systematic bombing of the dikes. But these attacks are nowhere near the intensity of the present attacks by the Nixon Administration. The bombing of North Viet-am’s dike is not just another tactical option for the United States. It is a blow directed at the material basis of the North Vietnamese society. The safe ty of the 6000 square mile Red River Delta, which contains 74% of North Vietnam’s arable land and 75% (15 million) of the population depends absolutely on the region’s 2375 miles of dikes. During World War II, Seyess-Inquart, the Nazi Marshall in charge of the Netherlands during its occupation, was responsible for the destruction of the dike system of the Netherlands, an act which resulted in the worst famine in modern European history. At the Nu-renburg Tribunals, Seyess-Inquart was among the 43 Nazi War criminals sentenced to death for a war crime beyond any military value. The bombing of the dikes of North Vietnam is also a war crime beyond any military value, as is any form systematic demise, for whatever purpose Richard M. Nixon is casting the knife of genocide into the heart of all mankind. And anyone who willingly casts a ballot for him in November is condoning this mass slaughter, and becoming, in fact, a modem day Roman patrician, enjoying graciously this new sport of the upper class, mass murder. “We have made great progress in these past four years. It can truly be said that we have changed the world. As a result of what we have done, America today is a better place and the world is a safer place to live in than was the case four years ago.” —Richard M. Nixon in his acceptance speech.

Straight Razor by KEVIN ROE, Managing Editor As you all probably know, and I'm sure some of you chuckled and said “goody” and got all excited when you found out, we had a little ruckus here last week. It all started when one intramu-ral football team got upset over some calls by a referee. The team quit, was informed that they were therefore forfeiting the game, and came back to beat on the referee and some members of the opposing team, sending a few people to the hospital. This is one of those incidents that lend good support to the argument that CCC is nothing but a high school that costs money. There are a lot of sides to this that should be examined, like the frustration, lack of communications, and the tendency to stay in our cliques (an all-white and an all-black team were involved) that can ultimately be said to have caused the incident. But what bothered me the most about the whole affair was the retaliation program taken by the all-white team and their friends, mostly the latter. The day after the incident a student showed up carrying a straight razor. Another student that I talked to showed me a knife. Neither was a member of the besieged team and both claimed to be carrying the blades for protection. My question to them was, "Protection against what? Nobody is after you.” I was informed that I was wrong. Mr. "Straight Razor” told me that he had been at the game and had wandered into the fight to help his friends, and therefore the "Brothers" were after him. Now, all that sounds pretty reasonable until one examines the philosophy of this student toward violence. When questioned about violence the student said that he didn’t approve of it, but if he was in a situation where it was “him or me,” he would kill. When asked if he could conceivably be put in that situation he answered affirmatively. The "Brothers” were after him. When asked why the "Brothers were after him, he explained that it was because he went to the aid of his friends. Ask the same student how hr feels about Vietnam and he will answer, "We shouldn’t be there.” I agree, but the same basic argu-ment he used to justify killing someone in the given situation is also used to justify the United States’ presence in Vietnam.. After all we are in a situation there where the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese are after us. The student (Mr. Straight Razor) will argue that we shouldn’t be there. Why not? The United States did the same thing that he did. They went to the aid of a friend. I hope you see my point. My point is NOT that the United States has a right to be in Vietnam. My point is that it is pure hypocrisy to preach against war while carrying a blade. The philosophy of non-violence should not be used only when it can get us out of the draft. That student, one of many, deliberately put himself in a situation which he knew could result in a violent confrontation. That is analogous to what the U. S. did in Vietnam — an action he claims to abhor.

My concern, specifically, is the rampantly political flavor it is taking on.

Many people are backward and ultra conservative. People are violent in the halls. Students learn to deceive others. C.C.C. is un-doubtably the fly capital of the world. Cornell should start a branch here to study why flies love it here. This presents one pro about the problem. If you forget your lunch money, you can just eat flies until your little tummy tingles. I sincerely hope the insect situation curtails. If not, a name change would be appropriate — Com- ing Community Landfill. Although many of these little devils appear friendly, they are trying to "bug" (ha-ha) you and put their little feet on you and get germs all over you. If you try to flee the fly land and still remain on campus, well that is like trying to find a Jewish tailor in Cairo. The school should pass out fly swatters, not for something to do, but for the students’ self defense. Just call me “Midnite Marauder who doesn’t like flies any time of day.” INTRAMURAL FOOTBALL To the Concerned Citizen Who Called in: Corona To the Editor: Corning Community College produces a yearbook every year. This annual publication is supposed to be representative of student life. This year, we, the staff, want to show how student’s actually live. Student housing will be represented. There will also be shots of student night life including the bars not only in Coming, but those in Elmira and Horseheads also. We want the yearbook to be something that students can actively get involved in. However, many people do not want this to happen. They want to stifle this voice of students. They fail to realize that the Corona offers a chance for students to submit art work and literary work as well as photography. Yes, there is a problem of money. Last year, the Corona’s budget was $8,675. This year the Corona submitted the same budget, even though publishing and photography costs are constantly rising. However, the feeling of the Student Government Committee and Student Life was that student involvment in the yearbook did not warrant this expenditure. Therefore the budget was cut to $5,100. This is a drop of $3,575 and brings the budget down to the absolute minimum. For a while things seemed pretty shaky, but after talking to the staff and our representa tive from the yearbook publisher, we decided that the yearbook was too important to drop. During the time since school started, our hard-working staff has laid out thirty pages (we only need 40 to meet our first deadline) and has determined our goals for the Corona. Our long-range goal is to see every student on the Corning Community College Campus given a yearbook. We can see no reason for a student to pay a $60 activities fee and not have a yearbook given to him. Since the beginning of the year, we have decided that the yearbook will be free. The students and faculty members who paid to have their pictures taken will receive their yearbooks first. Then others will receive their book on first come - first serve basis. The Corona, despite its record for being delivered late every year, will arrive on campus no later than April 15th this year. This is guaranteed. The professional photographer from American Photo Graphics will return 2 more times to take pictures of students and faculty. We regret to say that the charge is $3, but because of our extremely low budget this is the best we can do. APG is charging the yearbook $5 per person. For this fee, the photographer takes 6 shots of each person and you can have it taken any place on campus. (One person even bribed the photographer to take his picture in Wet Goods by buying him a drink.) For your money you get your picture in the yearbook and a 5x5 colored photo for yourself. You can even have your girt or boy friend in the picture with you. However, these goals may not be allowed to materialize. On Monday, October 16 at 12:00 in the Activities Office there will be a meeting of the Student Life Sub-Committee to deter- mine the fate of the Corona. Members of the Committee are Margaret Walls, Sandy Hosier, Gordy Muck, Nancy Andrews and Al Paparelli. Defendents in the trial of the Corona are Ann Hogan, advisor; Kathie Dunn, business manager; Bernie Guirey, photography editor; Stephanie Cole, assistant editor; Debbie Perry, Editor-In-Chief and the rest of the staff. Please let these people know that Corning Community College deserves a yearbook. If you want to help, there are applications in the Common’s Office. If you don’t have the time, but want a yearbook, leave a note in my mailbox 6G in the Commons or go to the Activities Office and tell them how you feel. Our staff has put a hell of a lot of work in on this yearbook already and are more than willing to continue. Make them give us a chance to give Coming the best yearbook they’ve ever seen. We can do it if you make them let us.

F-72 State Name___ Address- KEEPSAKE DIAMOND RINGS. BOX 90. SYRACUSE. N.Y. 13201 Nixon Impeachment Committee NEW YORK (LNS) — Recently an ad appeared in the Sunday New York Times calling for the impeachment of President Nixon on grounds that he had usurped power in his conduct of the war in Vietnam and had violated a Congressional ban on further military spending imposed in 1971. The ad was signed by well-known people, most of them anti-war activist. Some Congress people were on the list. Now the Justice Department is moving to prevent the National Committee for Impeachment (NCI) from collecting or disbursing funds — an effective way of preventing them from functioning. Attorney General Kleindienst said that the New York Times ad “had the purpose of influencing the election of persons to public office," thus putting the NCI in the same catagory as the Democrat and Republican parties. Therefore, Kleindienst reasons the NCI comes under the jurisdiction of the 1971 Federal Campaign Election Act which requires that candidates disclose the source of their campaign funding. Kleindienst asserts that NCI has violated that act by not reporting its contributions and disbursements. This puts the NCI in very good company, at least in some people’s eyes, since the Republican Party has refused to disclose the source of what has become known as Nixon’s $10 million secret campaign fund. The Republicans claim that the $10 million was collected just before the law took effect. More Questions and Answers by PROF. J. F. OSCSODAL Life is short Sex is fun He tells her She agrees As they are lost In passions of their nature Within a cloud of wine Providing them a dream Protected from realities Of conscious nightmares Plaguing them with fears Of weeks to come For love has changed From ecstacy to pregnancy Unchosen and unwanted Question: Is this a descrip- tion of common reality? Answer: Yes, it is. It has been estimated that over 6% of all college women become pregnant every year. And the number of high school girls is even higher, though there are no readily available estimates given. Question: Why is it that in this modern day and age the so-call ’’sexually progressive and aware youngsters” have to face the a-bove described tragedy? Answer: To be sexually pro- gressive and at the same time responsible for one’s actions are two different things. It seems that in the process of taking advantage of the "permissiveness” of our society youngsters failed to learn the meaning of responsible sexuality. Kids think they are so smart about sex but in my opinion a girl or boy has to be totally ignorant and very illogical to engage in intercourse without taking proper precautions to prevent pregnancy. There are a multitude of means and people available for youngsters who are mature and responsible enough to handle their sexuality, but it does take a certain a-mount of “courage” on the part of the youngsters to seek help. Question: Because youth to- day are supposedly more mature and better educated than their parents were as youngsters, does this mean they handle sex intelligently? Answer: No. Many young- sters live in a world of make-believe. Pregnancy — it can’t happen to me. Let's pretend we won’t do it then the girl doesn’t have to worry about pregnancy. If you think this kind of reasoning is not true among high school and college girls (or boys) you’re wrong. It’s been shown that 80% of those that became pregnant never used any contraceptive because of the guilt feelings associated with premeditated sexual activity. The guilt feelings are not associated with sexual activity itself but with the fact that one planned ahead to indulge in sexual intercourse. The need for acting as though sexual intercourse may not take place apparently is so great as to deny preparation for it. The final question to be asked is "Who are they trying to deceive and who is trying to live in a world of phoney make-believe? Nobody but themselves!

Clockwork Orange by MARIE To understand "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE” by Stanley Kubrick, you must first understand Kubrick himself, who is also author of “2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY." The movie is an exhiliarating show of present and future prediction. The title of the movie serves a specific meaning: clock meaning something technical or precise; work meaning a transaction from something mechanical to something natural (orange is the natural state which comes about.) As far as the movie goes, there was no restriction on drugs. Alex, the major character, and his three friends or, as he calls them, his “druggs” drank milk treated with mescaline in a cafe. And there was a certain transaction viewed by the audience as A- lex approached his home; all the homes on his street were beautiful but the streets were cluttered with garbage. The movie had a considerably large amount of violence. Alex and his “druggs” were young criminals who took pleasure in committing rape, theft, and murder. “ A CLOCKWORK ORANGE” is the devastating story of A- GINTER lex’s criminal life, his capture and sentencing to 14 years in a prison, his "reform” through drug treatments (which nauseated him when he saw or attempted any act of violence) and, at last, his cure in the hospital. For those of you who are looking for a “different” kind of film-here it is. It will at least make you think a while if it does nothing else. Power . . . by JAMES ARMSTRONG The other night while trying to think of something to write for this column, I stopped and asked myself just why was I writing a column for this paper. Why had I consented and committed myself to something which could not possibly help me to get an A in German or enhance my chances of graduating any sooner. After giving the problem some thought I concluded that what it reduces itself down to is power. I want some power. It’s as simple as that. If one rejects a philosophy of passivity and sets up for himself a goal or an ideal to be realized then one must have some power. The greater your goal or ideal the more power you’ll need to realize it. This, in my opinion, is a basic reality: you’ll never get anything without some power behind you. I believe that anyone who gets involved in any one of the orga- nizations up here at school is persuing the same objective as I, i.e. the attainment of some power. They may not look at their motivation in this light, but I’m quite certain that if they remove all subterfuge they will find a simple motivation — power. People have a general tendency to negatively react when they hear the word “power,” but in my opinion there is nothing essentially wrong or immoral in wanting power. The only place notions of imrhorality can enter would not be in the desire for power itself, but in what one intends to do with power and when power comes to be abused instead of used. If one desires power as a necessary prerequisite for the pursuit and realization of an ideal, an ideal which, if realized, will work to the advantage of all, then one is not engaging in anything which could possibly be construed as immoral or strictly selfish. There are many people today criticizing a lot of things as being wrong. But if one does not have a combatant ideal to this wrong, and makes no effort at attaining some power for the realization of this ideal, then one has no right to criticize that which now exists. (I hope you’ll forgive me for getting philosophical. I have a tendency to get carried away at times.) Granted those opportunities for power available up here at school result in the attainment of only minimal power, but it is a beginning. Besides, one thing which we are gaining and you’re not is the acquirement of invaluable practical experience in learning to acquire and best utilize power. In my case, by writing this column I must discipline my writing ability, dis- cipline my thoughts in ordering them to paper, and discipline myself in general so as not to renege on my commitment to this newspaper. I'm also meeting many new people and learning how to interact with them without the inhibitance of being self-conscious. This is doing much to develop my self-confidence. And is not self-confidence, in itself, a form of power? By writing this column and presenting my ideas I'm in a position to influence other people's ideas. And ideas are the basis upon which all power stems. In conclusion I would like to say that anytime you hear someone prodding you to “get involved” - ignore them. I don’t want you to get involved in anything. This leaves open to me many more opportunities for the attainment of more power. Know what I mean? THE CRIER WANTS YOU !!

Pope Denounces Immoral Smog ROME (LNS) - Calling upon Christians to protect themselves against “pollution by environmental immorality,” Pope Paul VI delivered an unusually blunt speech September 13 on the theme of chasti ty. One rather startling assertion by the 75 year old leader of the Catholic Church suggested that sexual permissiveness led to drug addiction. “Behind the initiation to sensual pleasure,” he reported, “there looms narcotics.” "Sounds backwards to me,” said one skeptic polled on the upper west side on Manhattan. The Pope warned his audience that “we live in a time when the animal side of human nature is degenerating into limitless corruption; we are walking in mud,” and that society was sliding downward because of practices, "that render it neither strong nor glorious -contraception, abortion, a-dultery, divorce.” JOIN THE CORONA Today's Army wants to hook you Page 5-THE CRIER-Oct. 13, 1972 THE CRIER-Oct. 13, 1972-Page 6 View from the Hill by IVAR PAUR This week I’ve probed for popular concensus of our relationship with the community. The results were not all that obvious, in fact, in defiance of the familiar apathy rhetoric there existed an actual desire for mutual cooperation. Students have expressed it in terms of a stronger voice in die community. Non-student residents seem to desire greater utilization of college resources. The immediate issue which seems to stimulate both parties is urban renewal Specifically cited was concern over pending construction plans. Rebuilding in the aftermath of the flood has presented college and community its first real opportunity to work hand in hand toward a common goal. The opportunity to direct the city away from its over emphasis on building bigger and better bars and orientate energies toward an increase in intellectual and cultural pursuits is now at your disposal. In Coming you can find more bars for its population than any other city in the country but you can’t find one decent theater, concert hall, or community center. This doesn't lie in the fact that no one wants to see the development of such interests, it exists because the city has outgrown its’ present form of local government. A government that consists of a mayor who puts his private law practice ahead of his elected responsibilities. And a council of ten men, who for $200 a year satisfy the requirements of a monthly appearance at meetings that have lost touch with reality. Meetings that take on the look of social gatherings. After the immediate requirements of the post flood community are met, decisions of great importance to the future of this community will again be in the hands of a few men. Your dissatisfaction with local government is valid. Our community reflects the need for a new and more functional form of administration. For the time being we're stuck with this one, and as discouraging as it may seem, you can still make it work. To start with, you have to be informed, you have the right to know what is planned. The Urban Renewal office has outlined five areas of construction, the details of which are available. With this information you can attend the monthly council meetings (time and place of which I hope to have printed in the Crier) and let them know what the community needs. Concerned people stimulated by common interests have worked as a team with very rewarding results. Community and college working together in shaping their own environment has worked all over the country. Get involved, let it work here. Florida Grand Jury Cracks Down on VVAW TALLAHASSEE (LNS) - A federal Grand Jury in Tallahassee Florida ended its third day of interrogation of 27 members of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) on July 13 by sentencing four members of the organization to jail on contempt of court charges. The following day, the Grand Jury indicted six vets, including one sentenced the day before, on charges of conspiracy against the U. S. government, training in use and possession of incendiary devices, and illegal possession of weapons. It was the Justice Department's contention that the vets were planning to bomb their way into the Republican Convention and then kill or injure GOP delegates with homemade anti-personnel weapons. The four who were sentenced for contempt can be held until the Grand Jury adjourns eighteen months from now. Contempt charges against the others were dropped but the Grand Jury is scheduled to consider the weapons and riot ques- tions again on August 8th and it is expected that the same VVAW members will be called at that time. Michael McCain, a VVAW spokesman, noted that the August 8 Jury date is less than two weeks before the Republican Convention and said that the whole affair is intended “to keep us from being effective during the convention.’’ He felt that the government is attempting to break the back of VVAW by tying up its national and regional coordinators in court. The contempt charges were leveled when the vets maintained their claims to 5th amendment rights after they had been granted transactional immunity. This type of immunity means that what they say can’t be used against them by this Grand Jury but that it may be used by subsequent Grand Juries to return indictments. Defense appeals for a postponement of questioning on grounds that there were some questions the vets didn’t understand were flatly refused. Women’s Lib Stand! I have now been a student on the CCC campus for approximately one month and the most outstanding thing I have noticed is the apathy of other students towards not only the school, but also towards then-selves. People are not responding to anything, including insults to themselves. This is especially true of the women students. The women of this campus have been insulted right to their face and yet they sit back and accept it as being perfectly natural. It is about time that women stood up and demanded their rights. Women are not creatures of convenience. They are human beings deserving of the same rights as any other people. They are not things put on the earth to make men look good, or to lower the curve in a class so that the men can score "A’s”. Women have been told for so long that they should be subservient to men that they actually believe that this is the role of a woman. If you tell a child that she is stu pid, no matter how bright the child, eventually, she will act stupid. I have heard stories of dis- by FRAN KALISH crimination on this campus that should make the meek cringe, but they do not. There is one physics instructer that allows the male students in his classes the use of timesaving calculaters and computes, but feels that since women are inferior they should do all the computations by hand. There is a math instructer who openly stated in class, “as there is only one y value for every x, there is only one man for every woman.” When questioned on this theory, he felt it was all right for a man to have many women but each woman should only have one man. This is the kind of nonsense that has been repeatedly forced upon women. When you suggest to a female that she has been conditioned, she cringes at the thought and denies it. She says she is perfectly happy in the role she is playing as an inferior creature. When are the women going to wake up and realize that they have been forced into accepting the so-called “role of a woman.” it is time for the women to stand up and be counted, to demand Children's Halloween Party our rights as equal human beings.

Six deadly pesticides poison the lettuce you eat. Each year, 70 to 80 thousand farmworkers are poisoned, often fatally, by working in fields which have been treated with these pesticides. In an effort to create safe working conditions for thousands of workers, the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, under the leadership of Cesar Chavez, has been waging a determined, non-violent struggle to force the elimination of DDT, DDD, Endrin, Aldrin, Parathion and Dieldrin from the lettuce fields of America. Safer working conditions for farmworkers means safer food for you. Help yourself to a healthier life by supporting our struggle. For your own sake and ours, don’t eat lettuce.

And, since no dish should remain anonymous, I hereby christen it G.I.’s Hungry Visitors’ Chicken Breasts - from the circumstances under which I first cooked it. I was in the Army (yes, I made that mistake) and had been stationed in France and was now stationed in Germany. Some friends (civilians) were due into town that night and we were to eat dinner. German food can be good, but the food in that particular town was wretched, so I decided to make dinner myself. I had no cookbook, and at that time, few recipes in my head. But I put together what I’d learned in France and came up with this one. It’s one of the few “French” recipes I know of which uses chicken breasts with the bones still in. The French use boned chicken breasts, and I’d give you some of their excellent recipes for them, but I’ve never yet seen written instructions that give you an adequate idea of how to get the bones out. And supermarket butchers are reluctant to do it for you. But if you can find a butcher who will do the job, I can only urge you to look up some recipes for boned chicken breasts. Utensils: a frying pan or skillet; 3 saucepans; a grater; an oval roaster; a wooden spoon; a wire whisk 8 large or 10 medium-sized chicken breasts (4 or 5 double-breasted pieces, cut in half) '1/2 stick butter or margerine 5 tb. flour 1 1/2-pint carton light cream 1/2 pound gruyere (Swiss) cheese 1 can chicken stock or 1/2 can condensed chicken broth and 1/2 can water 1/4 tsp. thyme 1 bay leaf STEP 1 chicken breasts butter Dry the chicken breasts with a paper towel (otherwise they won’t brown.) Put half the butter in a skillet and brown the chicken about 3 minutes on each side over medium heat. (You’re not using oil this time, so watch carefully that the butter doesn't scorch. If it starts scorching, remove skillet from heat, lower heat a little and return skillet to it.) STEP 2 butter cream stock cheese thyme bay leaf Pour the cream into a saucepan, bring to a boil and boil dowdy over medium heat ’til it’s reduced to about 2/3 its original volume. Put the stock into another saucepan, add the thyme and bay leaf and bring it to a simmer. Now, in a saucepan, heat the rest of the butter ’til it sizzles. Add the flour and cook for 2 minutes over low heat stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Pour the reduced, heated cream in slowly and beat briskly with a ware whisk. Add the hot stock and do the same. Stir over low heat for about 5 minutes. Grate the cheese. Rub some butter or margerine over the bottom and sides of your oval roaster. Put the chicken breasts in and spoon the sauce over them evenly. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of that and put it inot the preheated 350 degree oven. Bake for 35 minutes. When the chicken has been cooking for 35 minutes, raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees and cook 10 minutes longer. This will brown the cheese.

According to Food and Drug Administration scientists, a dye called Red No. 2, found in virtually every artificially red-colored food, may cause cancer and birth defects. Soviet scientists reported in 1970 that the dye caused birth defects and cancer in animals. FDA scientists obtained similar results from a reproduction test last summer, but FDA officials have delayed any action at all for almost a year. The FDA has since introduced some minor restrictions on the use of Red No. 2, but has denied that there is any evidence of hazard to humans. Although the color additives amendment to the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires scientific proof of safety for all color additives in food supply, there is no such objective scientific evidence that Red No. 2 is safe for human consumption. According to Sidney M. Wolfe, MD, the safe dosage level would be 15 mg/kg of body weight daily. This level of the dye in food would allow al10 lb. woman to drink about 2/3rds of a can of soda daily. A child would exceed the safe limit if he drank more than half a can of dyed soda. The Arthur A. Hougton Library by KENNY BRYNES Students pay a certain percentage of their tuition to maintain facilities here at C.C.C. The problem is they often don’t use those facilities or they don’t know they exist. The subject in question is the Library. On the first floor of the library, a student can find a complete set of reference works plus the special collec tions room, where first editions and a collection of sculptures that can be borrowed for a month can be found. Also on the first floor is a collection of catalogs from all the colleges in the United States, filed in order of their specialties, ie., police science, literature. Downstairs you will find the micro-film lab, a collection of paintings that can be loaned to students,and copies of all the paperwork the U.S. Gov- ernment puts out, ie., new laws, Supreme Court decisions. The books that can be borrowed are also down here, as well as copies of ROLLING STONE and THE VILLAGE VOICE. There is also a collection of small artifacts that are for sale in glass cases. These gifts are imported from the world over and are for sale at a reasonable price. The reserve desk is also downstairs where professors can reserve books for their students’ use. These, however, cannot be removed from the library. You can also find topographical maps of every county in New York in the lower level of the library, near the Government Papers collection. The library is there to help you with your education so learn how to use it to your fullest advantage.

VIETNAM DU NORD • Digue bombardee MAP OF NORTH VIETNAM SHOWING BOMBING TARGETS ON THE RED RIVER VALLEY DIKE SYSTEM (SUNY at Buffalo) Elephants Like Lettuce NEW YORK (LNS) -Since 1970, when the United Farm Workers Union (UFW) began a nationwide boycott of non-union lettuce in an effort to organize one of the worst paid and most exploited groups of agricultural laborers in the country, Cesar Chavez has been traveling around the country trying to get people to stop buying iceberg lettuce. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, which regularly promotes the sale of products for which supply is expected to be in excess of normal demand in the coming months, named lettuce the “food of the month" for August and prepared a series of tapes in Spanish which were sent to radio stations across the country designed to inform customers of the merits of the product. The department, which received a flood of mail criticizing its promotion of grapes during the grape boycott organized by the UFW, sees its role purely as a “neutral” informational one, and found the protests at that time to be "hysterical”. Chavez found out about the Department of Agriculture tapes through the Latin American committee of the Arch- mally uses the department tapes in its broadcasts. The committee sent a copy of its letter refusing the lettuce tapes to the United Farm Workers. In a letter also sent to the department, Chavez told Agricultural Secretary Butz that he had “become nothing more than an agent of the growers.” Chavez protested the “use of power and influence of the USDA in a deliberate effort to crush the UFW and our nonviolent boycott of non-union lettuce,” and called the department’s action “an offense against both the farm workers and the many good people who support them.” dioces of Chicago, which nor- International Tribunal On Abortion NEW YORK (LNS) - On October 21-22 women from all over the United States (and hopefully from all over the world) will gather for the Days of Denunciation of Crimes Against Women. It will be an International Tribunal on Abortion, Contraception, and Forced Sterilization in which women from many backgrounds and experiences and legal and medical experts will give testimony to indict the government, antiabortion forces and all those institutions responsible for denying women control over their bodies. The Tribunal which is sponsored by Women's National Abortion Action Coalition (WONAAC) - the NPAC affiliated organization. “The Tribunal will hear the sufferings of those who have experienced illegal abortions, who have been victims of forced sterilization, who have been forced to bear children against their will, who have been refused contraceptives, who have been raped and unable to obtain abortions, and who have died alone in back-alleys from butcher abortions.” For more info, write to WONAAC, 150 - 5th Ave., Rm. 314, NYC, 10011. U.S. Mine Gets U.S. Destroyer WASHINGTON, D.C.(LNS) - U. S. mines in the waters off the shore of North Vietnam, recently found their first victim - the U. S. destroyer Warrington. The Warrington, on duty shelling the North Vietnamese coast, hit what was reported to be a Mark-36 mine. The destroyer was so badly damaged that it will probably have to be scrapped. The whole mining program itself has been less than successful. At least two Chinese minesweepers have sailed into Haiphong harbor to help with the clearing of the mines. North Vietnam reports that the mines are removed almost as soon as they are positioned. Pentagon and the CIA reports document that the hoped-for stoppage of supplies to the North Vietnamese army and People’s Liberation Armed Forces of South Vietnam never occured. Brazilian Indians Get Ready to Fight for Land BRASILIA (LNS) - Three thousand Xavantes Indians, armed with guns, are getting ready to fight for their land and their survival against the rapidly-increasing encroachment of Brazilian settlers. Located deep in the Amazonian state of Mato Grosso, in the area of the Rio das Mortes (River of the Dead), the Xavantes (pronounced shah-Von-Chiss) are seeking to hold onto land that has been theirs for untold generations, and which Brazilian authorities have promised to respect as Indian land. However, adventurers, land grabbers, ordinary settlers and big businessmen (ultimately supported by the U.S. - backed white-supremacist military government) are all involved in the constant assault on the Indian territory. Brazil’s National Indian Foundation (Funai), an equi valent of the U. S.’s Bureau of Indian Affairs, has prepared elaborate reports designed to “protect” the Indians. But official inaction has resulted in removal of Indians from contested areas. Information about the pending conflict between the Xavantes and outsiders has appeared in recent articles in the Brazilian press. The Jor-nal do Brasil, published in Rio, reported: “The Xavantes are one of the most important Brazilian Indian tribes. Possessing great racial pride and the consciousness that they must pre serve their culture, the Xavantes are hard-working and are excellent farmers, producing the best rice of the region. Almost all of what they grow is sold to white people - at a good price - and with the money earned the Indians buy other foods, utensils, and a-bove all, guns and ammunition .... "The problems that the Xavantes are having with civilization are rather old ones and resemble those confronted by the entire Indian population. The taking of the land is the main reason for conflict and for their hostility toward white people...." “I give up Johnny. What has two horns, three eyes & creeps? THE CRIER-Oct. 13, 1972-Page 9 THE CRIER-Oct. 13, 1972-Page 10 Governor’s Daughter Supports everyone has a favorite Puerto Rican Independence SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (LNS) - The daughter of the governor of Puerto Rico has publicly announced her be-lief in and support of the is-land’s independence movement. Rosario Ferre de Trigo, daughter of the millionaire Governor of the island, Luis A. Ferre, made the announcement in a letter to El Imparcial, one of the island’s Spanish language dailies at the end of September. Her father, who is seeking re-election in November heads the right-wing-pro-statehood New Progressive Party. Rosario’s announcement followed an article that appeared in a local magazine linking her with several independentists backed organizations. Her letter officially confirmed what had become a subject for speculation on the island over the past year. Rosario did not align herself with either of the two major independentista parties, the Puerto Rican Socialist Party or the Puerto Rican Independence Party. Rosario had compaigned for her father during the 1968 elections but the objectives towards which she worked — self-determination of Puerto Rico, equal distribution of wealth - have not been achieved under her father’s administration or any other during the course of Puerto Rican history. What’re You Doing New Year's? Plans are underway for a three-week trip to Europe during this year’s Mini-Semester, with departure from New York on Friday, December 29, and return to Coming on Friday, January 19. The three-week tour will encompass France, Germany and Spain and would be of special interest to foreign language students although anyone interested in travel and enrichment is welcome to take the trip. The itinerary will highlight full 3 days in Paris (including New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day), 3 full days in Madrid, 3 full days in Munich as well as one or two day stops in Heidelberg, Lyon, Bern, Marseille, Barcelona and, possibly Genoa or Venice, Italy- Dr. Robert Giuffrida and Mr. Robert McEnroe, co-advisors for the trip, have been working in conjunction with Mr. Peter Schaefer of the local American Express office on arrangements for the three-week excursion. One meeting for interested students has al ready been held and another meeting for exchange of information on the trip will be held in the large Nursing Amphitheatre on Wednesday, October 18, at 1:00. The tentative package price for the 22-day trip is in the neighborhood of $390. This figure would include fees for passports and photos, round-trip transportation from Corning to New York, round-trip airfare from New York to Paris and from Madrid to New York, hotels (including breakfast) and transportation by chartered bus from city to city in the European itinerary. Students would be expected to pay for meals other than breakfast and would have to provide their own spending money above and beyond the package price. All interested students and other members of the College community are urged to attend the meeting in N-221 on Wednesday, October 18, at 1:00, or to contact Dr. Giuffrida, N-319, phone 238, or Mr. McEnroe, N-316, phone 297, for information and passport materials. Thieu Ends Hamlet Elections SAIGON (LNS) - In one of the latest in a series of drama tic moves since he rammed through a law giving himself the power to rule by decree on June 28, 1972, Saigon Pres ident Nguyen Van Thieu indefinitely suspended popular elections on the hamlet level. The decree was issued with out publicity on August 22 and news of it has only recently been released in the Unitea States. In his speech announcing the decree Thieu stated that "I have never denied indeper dence and democracy.” But he further added that "our government has allowed us to enjoy too much democracy too soon.” Under the new system, which goes into effect immediately, nearly all the country’s administrative officials — from the provincial chiefs down to the hamlet level - will be appointed by Thieu. He explains the suspension of elections by noting that “when an election is held, the communists try tc benefit from it.” The decree instructs Thieu's hand-picked aids to “release those (elected hamlet officials) who are unqualified, negative, or who have bad behavior." Thieu also explains that if no satisfactory member of the community can be found, he “will approve the use of popular forces, regiment forces (militia) including lieutenant officers, in the village and hamlet administration.” Thieu’s efforts to consolidate his power not only led him to eliminate elections, but trials as well. On September 4, he issued another decree, giv ing himself the power to pass sentence without a trial in “certain cases.” These "certain cases” cover mainly political offenses committed by military personnel or civil ser vants. Crimes such as treason disobeying orders, desertion and stealing guns to sell, for example, are offenses that Thieu can rule on personally. In the same vein, on August 5, Thieu issued a decree requiring all newspapers and magazines to deposit $47,000 in the national treasury to cover any possible violations of the national press law that they might commit. Such violations include articles the government defines as neutralist, anti-government and procommunist. On September 6, the South Vietnamese government announced that a Saigon court had fined 48 newspapers and magazines for unspecified violations of the press law. sport Dr. Martin Receives Post The Advisory Committee on Long Range Planning for Academic Libraries in New York State has invited Dr. John H. Martin, Director of the Arthur A. Houghton, Jr. Library and Learning Resources Center at Coming Community College to serve as a resource person to the Committee. Appointed by Commissioner of Education Ewald B. Ny-quist in the Spring of 1971, the Committee is charged as follows: “Given the varying requirements of the libraries serving the several types of post’secondary institutions, by what means can these libraries, the institutions they serve, other kinds of libraries (e.g. public, technical, industrial) and the State Education Department work toward op timum service to post-secondary education in the 1970's and 1980's?” Dr. Martin will serve with Dr. David Kaser, Librarian at Cornell, as the only two edu cators on the committee and will represent all academic libraries in the state. The invitation was issued by John A. Humphy, Assistant Commissioner for Libraries in a letter to Dr. Martin, in which he states, “Because of your expertise in this area, I am inviting you to serve as a resource person to the Committee." The first meeting for fall will be held in Albany on Wednesday, October 25.

Bombing the Dikes (Continued from Page 1) Federal Bread by DAVE GAME ued, "was the extremely precise and accurate knowledge of the geography of the DRV displayed by the U.S. Air Force. For the attacks have been directed a-gainst the dikes in the very areas — mainly the Eastern region — where the villages are located below the water level, and where the breaking of the dikes, unleashing gigantic floods would destroy literally millions. “These are also the regions in, which the bulk of the rice crop is produced and which are the most densely populated. On the other hand, the western regions — where the villages are located on a series of rises above the water-level were bombed much less heavily. Yet the military installations are as numerous in the West as in the East.” Lacoste also reported that on August 5 a factory producing parts for the hydraulic works throughout the country was bombed to rubble making it much harder to repair the damage to such works. In answer to official American allegations that the North Vietnamese have been remiss in the maintenance of the dikes, Lacoste described how the peasant population is permanently mobilize "or the purpose of immediately repairing the bomb damage to the likes along the Red River. "The peasants of the area a-round the dikes come and work every day, moving tons of earth to keep the dikes in good shape. Thousands of school children and students in the region also volunteer to help in the work. In the course of the year 1972, the people of North Vietnam have moved fifteen million tons of earth for the purpose of dike maintenance.” Lacoste was particularly impressed, he said, by the invincible morale of the common people he met during his trip — and how he was free to talk to anyone, and go anywhere. “It is amazing the way the people can smile and even laugh, despite the conditions of terror bombing. I encountered no signs of panic or discouragement anywhere. Such morale is only possible among a people with a deep sense of the justice of their cause.” Hey, gang! Are you flood victims (who isn’t)?

THE CRIER—Oct. 13, 1972-Page 11 The Crier Sports Page 12 Coming Community College October 13, 1972 Winter is Here, and So are the Wrestlers profile: Art Maio, CCC's Defensive Back by STEVE SPARKHULE Last Monday twenty-eight candidates for the "Red Menace" took off on their pre-season conditioning rampage. For you readers not familiar with Coach John Polo and Corning Community College Wrestling, you’re in for some explosive, powerful and exciting entertainment. Last year’s "rebuilding team” as Coach Polo called them came thru with a 13-1 record and took the 20-team Region III Championship Title — a first for Corning Community College. Six wrestlers placed in the Region III Tournament and went on to the Nationals at Worthington, Minn., where the team placed 11th out of some 130 two-year colleges. “The Rat Hole Housing Complex" started last year as a losing team due to lack of support. This year the Rat-Hole intramurals football team worked its way up the ladder of success. Coached by Ralph Palmer, the team owes its success to the fabulous arm of quarterback Jeff Lovell, the speed of Bob Returning from last year’s squad are: Dave Folmar, a 118 pounder with a 17-5-1 record, a third place in the Roadrunner Tournament and a 2nd at the West Point Freshman Easterns; Tom McInerny, a 142 pounder with a 17-6-1 record, a 2nd place at the Roadrunner and 2nd place at West Point; Marc Gillespie (150 pounder, 31-1) with a 1st at the Roadrunner, 1st at Region III, 2nd at the Nationals, 1st at West Point; Emad Faddoul (177 pounder, 25-6-1) was 3rd at the Roadrunner, 2nd in Region III, and 4th at West Point; Paul Tomkins (190 pounder 13-8-1) had a 2nd at the Roadrunner, 3rd in Region III. Also returning will be Orton, Jeff Sowles and Jeff Crawford. These boys are good. Ralph Palmer also has the height over the opposition to receive high bombs. Bringing up the defense are Ron Havens, Brad Fisher, Tim Havens, Carl Lewis, and John Townsend with the help of Bob Walt Wagner who was unable to wrestle last year due to ineligibility. He will be trying his hand in either the 177 or 190 pound weight class. Coach Polo emphasized on the first day that many things can happen between now and November 29th, our first home match against Genesee Community College.
