Chilson New B&6 Director
Samuel F. Chilson of 3872 Watkins Road, Corning, has been named Director of Buildings and Grounds at Coming Community College.
Announcing the appointment, David C. Frank, Dean of College Services, said, “From our working experience over the past several years, I know Sam to be a highly qualified and capable administrator. The responsibility for running a 300-acre campus must be in the hands of a dedicated individual familiar with all phases of the physical plant and he is that person. I am pleased to announce his appointment.”
• Chilson joined the custodial crew upon his discharge from the Army in 1962. He served in various
maintenance positions until being named Acting Director in 1975. While serving as Acting Director, he had the responsibility of overseeing the renovation of the heating system, energy savings programs in electricity and natural gas, and the revamping of the sewage system at CCC.
' The new Director is a native of Covington, Pennsylvania and a graduate of the North Penn High School in Blossburgh, Pennsylvania. He is enrolled in the Industrial Technology program at the College and has taken several American Management courses.
In 1976 Chilson was honored for his many years of service with Scout Troop No. 61 by being named “Scoutmaster of the Year.”
New Rules For Alcoholic Socials
He has been active in the North Corning Fire Department since its formation and is presently sergeant-at-arms.
His wife is the former Virgina Morse of Gang Mills and they are the parents of three children.
Electrical Technology Helps Local Firm
The resources of the Electrical Technology Division at Coming Community College have been tapped by a local industry to provide the educational expertise necessary for the training of their personnel in a new product line.
When Hardinge Brothers, a precision machine tool manufacturing company in Elmira, decided to add a numerical control lathe to their product line, Corning Community College had no knowledge of the part it would ultimately play in this decision^
Numerical control, also referred to as N/C, is a form of automation in which a numerical control machine receives its instructions from an electronic unit by way of a punched tape or digital computer. From the tape the information goes to the digital circuits, from there to the transducers and finally to the movement of the lathe itself.
The education of those involved in the advancing technology must keep pace and this is where the services of the College were needed. A numerical control certificate oroeram developed by Wayne Kenner, Associate Professor of Mechanical Technology and introduced in the Fall 1977 semester, has eight Hardinge employees enrolled. It trains students
for N/C employment as well as updates and retrains current N/C programming machinists and engineers.
During the week of October 3-7, six Hardinge field service engineers were enrolled in an intensive 40-hour Digitalogic Training Program on the CCC campus.
The challenge for a highly technical curriculum to meet the specific needs of personnel in the field was met by three Electrical Technology faculty. Gerald Thomas, Edward Herman, and Victor Kalilec developed classroom instruction and laboratory experience which extends to the instruction of customers of Hardinge in the use Of N/C equipment as well as general maintenance.
Mr. C.R. Bauman, President of Hardinge Brothers, was in attendance at a celebration luncheon October 8 at the Hilton. Certificates of completion were awarded the six participants of the course. Presenting the certificates was Donald R. Bronsard, Dean of Instruction at CCC.
“The course is now available to other industries in the area,” Gerald Thomas, Associate Professor of Electrical Technology, noted and added that it could easily be adapted to their needs.
CCC Receives $3000 From Eastman Kodak
Coming Community College has received $3,000 from Eastman Kodak’s Educational Aid Program. The grant is based on CCC graduates who joined Kodak within five years of completion of their degree requirements and are now completing their fifth year of company employment The grant is made on the basis of $250 for each year of full-time attendance required to complete normal
degree program. Qualifying for the awards were: Carol Philbin Brown, Nancy L. Constello, Mary L. Ferraro, Robert Goodwin, Jr., Eric J. Hotaling, and James Smith.
Kodak suggests the funds be designated for use within the department indicated by the individual’s degree and that they be allocated for Eastman Kodak scholarships. They prefer that such scholarships be
of
awarded on the basis merit rather than need.
Commenting on the grant, Donald H. Hangen, CCC President, said, “I feel sure that Kodak Educational Aid Program is unique in that it is in appreciation of contributions made by college and university graduates to the company’s business success. CCC not only appreciates the grant but is proud of their graduates who contributed toward it.”
In order to help prevent a reoccurrance of the vandalism which happened during the last two socials, the following will be enforced:
FIRST: Non-students will be admitted only as a personal guest of a CCC student.
SECOND: Only a valid CCC ID card will be accepted for proof.
THIRD: Snacks and coffee will be served about 11 p.m.
FOURTH: Alcoholic beverage service will end at least a half-hour before the band finishes.
FIFTH: Any disruptive behavior will result in civil or judiciary charges.
Our intention is to insure the integrity of our student socials. Ninety-nine percent of our guests are there for fun and not vandalism. We intend to insure their privilege for a good time.
Veterans Take Notice
Any veteran who receives an X, W, or I grade for the semester will have his/her training time re-ducedeffective from the beginning of the semester, thus producing an overpayment from the V.A.
All “I” grades that are completed within the time frame SDecified by the col-
lege will result in restoration of benefits that were lost as a result of your “I” grade, when and only when an official grade change is done by your instructor and YOU notify the registrar’s office of that grade change.
The above is only applicable where training time
has been reduced below 12 hours for full time veterans and correspondingly for % and Vz time veterans also.
If there are any questions contact Bruce Hurd, Veterans’ Counselor, on the second floor of the Administration Building.

The United States Civil Service Commission has announced the 1978 testing schedule for the Professional and Administrative Career Examination (PACE). The PACE written test will be given during January and April 1978. The filing period for April testing will extend from
February 1 through February 28, 1978.
Competition for positions filled from the PACE examination is keen. Because of the large number of competitors and the limited number of job opportunities, applicants must score highly to have a reasonable chance for consid-
eration.
Interested persons should contact their college placement office or a Federal Job Information Center for copies of the announcement. The locations and telephone numbers of Federal Job Information Centers are listed in telephone directories under “U.S. Government.”
Sweet Named Coordinator
Doctor Gilbert A. Sweet, Associate Professor of Human Services at Coming Community College, has been named campus coordinator of Cooperative Education at CCC for the South Central Community College Consortium.
The Consortium consists of CCC, Broome Commun-
ity College, and Tompkins^ Cortland Community College (TC-3).Its aim is to integrate academic learning with practical work experience which in turn makes career goals a more realistic and vital part of the education process.
Joseph A. Spitzer, Director of the Consortium, ex-
plained Dr. Sweet’s responsibilities as that of recruiting eligible students from the various campus programs, developing work sites in the community directly related to the student’s education program, and to act as liaison between employer and student.
2 THE CRIER, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27,1977
GET OUT AND VOTE
One of the fundamental rights and responsibilities of the people in a representative democracy is voting. The election this year is November 8. We urge you to vote.
During the Vietnam War one of the major targets of student activism was getting the vote for 18 year olds. You remember the slogan: “Old enough to die but not old enough to vote.”
When the 18 year olds finally did get the vote they turned out to be as apathetic as their elders.
One of the most consistent complaints we hear about our government is that it is not responsive enough to the needs of the people. People also wonder why the high-pressure lobbying groups in Washington can get what they want most of the time. The ans-
wer is simple. People like you and us, are not exercising our basic franchise. ~ We remind you that the only way that the American system of democracy can hope to survive is through the willingness of its citizens to participate in the governmental process. Admittedly, we can not all be politicians or elected officials but we can all participate by voting.
Guest Editorial
Why, Ric, Why?
“..we consider this to be an important part of the campus,” (as long as we can get away with it) Words of George Fogarty on the Black Cultural Center, parentheses I added. This beautiful front page story of a problem that’s not a problem is in itself a problem on the part of out illustrious Crier and Student Government. Four articles on a subject in the October 6 paper is not really a problem since the paper only has eight pages.
Whenever something happens on campus involving blacks, the Crier and Student Government take the position of being mystified to an occurrance that's rather obvious to anyone wanting to see. My reaction is to accuse the Crier and Student Government of irresponsibility and creating an issue by reporting slur remarks about Ms. Beaman and the Black Student Union indirectly. I know that a public Student Government and the administration are sensitive to charges of racism and the paper gave the implication that they are not. I feel that both are buying time.
I feel that it is irresponsible of the administration and Student Government to have ONLY Ms. Beaman
to speak with about black problems on campus along with being the EOP Director, where incidentally approximately 25 to 30 percent of the participants are white. I know that what is hearsay to an individual and to a group is usually different. I also feel it is irresponsible for the Crier to attack one person when it’s just as easy to attack the source of the problem, not the reaction. Ms. Beaman is not all that important a person, and has never been the spokesperson nor does she want to be the voice of the blacks on campus as the Crier and the administration and Student Government would like the blacks to believe. ONE black in the field of 30 or more, what awesome power. But for the Crier and friends she is easier to attack.
To me it is always a wonder and a warning that when someone says something nice in a sarcastic way it means that person is having difficulty placing the blame on someone. So, since Ms. Beaman is obviously vocal for minority rights on campus, it becomes that much easier to point the finger at her. I hope you, Ric Smith, are not the most articulate and intelligent spokesperson
for the whites on campus. It is difficult for me to understand some of the problems that the whites face because I am black and I have not had to face the same problems those people face. I think, Ric, you have given me the insight and the understanding I need to comprehend some of the problems.
However, I am disgusted with the irresponsible reporting of the Crier and information that appears to be not complete, after my investigation. The paper transmitted assumptions, feelings and innuendos that should have been checked out from another source, like any responsible important reporter would have done. I hope in the future that the Crier and Student Government check out their facts and get the story straight. Misinformation and blocking information are the bases for prejudice and I am under the impression that the Crier and Student Government are for the whole campus and hopefully fighting racism and prejudice on campus. But according to the clear illustration of Ric’s editorial, this is not happening. Thank you, Ric, for showing me how you and the rest are not helping.

The election this year is concerned with local issues and candidates. We say to you that the local elections help determine the tenor of state and federal governments. The state and federal governments can not respond to problems without imput from the local governments.
We recommend two candidates to you in this year’s election. We recommend Frank Anastasio, Associate Professor of Communications, and Robert
M. Gee, a student at Coming. Frank is running for the Steuben County Board of Supervisors on the Democratic ticket. Bob is the Republican candidate for the Town of Orange town council.
We ask and urge you to vote in this year’s election. If you are not registered this year, go register with your local election board for next year’s election. If you are registered, go out and vote for the candidate of your choice.
0*N*K* MAN’S OPINION
By RICHARD I. SMITH Editor-in-Chief
Where Do We Go From Here?
There is a case before the Supreme Court that could vitally effect the future of the United States. It does not matter which way the justices rule, the outcome will be a harbinger of the way the nation deals with discrimination.
The case in question is “Regents of the University of California vs. Allan Bakke.” The Supreme Court has been asked to consider the claims of reverse discrimination filed by Allan Bakke against the medical school at the University of California at Davis.
The case was appealed by the California Board of Regents to the Supreme Court after the traditionally liberal California Supreme Court ruled in favor of Bakke, 6-1. Their opinion was based on a literal interpretation of the 14th Amendment that forbids discrimination based on RACE, creed or color. This is the same amendment that forms a basis of the Civil Rights laws of the land.
Bakke is a 37-year-old former Marine captain, with two degrees in engineering, who wants to be a doctor. According to the classic criteria required to enter medical school, Bakke is a natural. On the aptitude tests measuring verbal and science skills he scored in the top three percent in science and in the top four percent in verbal skills.
He was passed over for admission to Davis because of special admission policy that left open 16 spots in a class of 100 for “individuals from disadvantaged educational, cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds” after the first two medical school classes had enrolled only two blacks and one Chicano. The average scores of the 16 who were admitted in 1973 instead of Bakke on aptitude tests in verbal and science skills were 35 in science and 46 in verbal skills.
The most important outgrowth of the high court’s decision is the future of Affirmative Action. The Court must decide whether the American people want to give traditionally disadvantaged minorities the edge in getting the education they need to gain a place in the decision making processes of the United States.
Sometimes I feel like I am involved in a Greek tragedy. As a young, white, middle-class male I get the feeling I am expected to pay for my father’s sins. I had nothing to do with the development of American society as it exists today but I am expected to understand why I get passed over for a position in favor of someone less qualified. Someone whose only claim is that he or she is a member of a designated disadvantaged.
The other side of the question is how do we effectively end 300 years of discrimination. Our population is at least 10 percent black yet only two percent of the doctors, 3.4 percent of the lawyers, and only one percent of the engineers in the United States are black. If America hopes to convince its blacks in the viability of the nation it must convince them they have an opportunity to become a part of the American economic mainstream.
What the Supreme Court must deal with is the contradiction between America’s ideals and its reality. The screwing-over of today’s young, white, middle-class males will not rectify the mistakes of the past. But, America has a responsibility to its ideals. I would not like to have to make the decision in the case of “Regents of the University of California vs. Allan Bakke.”

Dear Ric
First, let me say that the title you put above our letter to George Fogarty was not appreciated! As journalists you have displayed total ignorance.
The members of the Black Student Union do not feel it was unnecessary for Ms. Beaman to do what she did. In her memo to the students, she never once stated anything to be factual; just what she felt.
You see, for blacks to survive in this racist society and in what I believe to be a racist institution, we have to be on our toes and always one step ahead of you.
The BSU for 1977-78 plans to be a strong union; helping each other and standing for what WE believe in. You can knock down individuals, but you can’t touch the MASSES!
Sincerely, Rosanne Walls Second Co-Chairman-BSU Shaka Zulu First Co-Chairman-BSU
ICC’s Protest
The layout of ICC’s Social (since we call them socials now and not kegs) is just another example of poor reporting. There is an opinion on page two of the October 6 Crier about vandalism and the effect it is haying on the campus. The second article, of course, could not have appeared but with the ICC’s successful social. We feel that some of the successful events should be given a chance to catch hold on campus, but thanks to the not-so-hard working Crier, bad is associated with what we felt was a good event.
ICC Executive Board
We Disagree
I would like to make a correction concerning the title of an article in the October 6 edition of the Crier. The article was entitled “Keep Out George.” The title was completely conceived and put at the head of our letter to George Fogarty by a person or persons on the staff of the Crier.
I would like it known that his was not the implication of that letter when I wrote it. I was merely re-
minding Mr. Fogarty that he will have to show some respect when he deals with black people on this campus. I in no way implied that he was not wanted a-round any BCC functions. As a matter of fact, I tbink it would be good for relations between the BSU and Student Government for us to get together more often. Maybe then we could start to work on some obvious problems that exist in this
school.
I have a couple of suggestions to make to Ric Smith and the Crier. From now on, you should print a letter or an article just as the writer, gives it to you except for typographical errors or spelling, and save your opinions, or instigations for your own editorials, etc...!

A Tribute To Bing
I would like to pay tribute to a man who was not only a great singer and performer, but an American who was well loved by millions. Bing Crosby - a man who did much in his own right to make the world smile and be happy.
Perhaps you can remember the “road” pictures in which Bing, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour traveled the world. There was Road to Morocco, Bali, Singapore, Rio, Hong Kong, and a few others - seven altogether with the last one being Road to Hong Kong in 1962. Crosby, Hope and Dorothy Lamour were scheduled to do yet another “road” picture; “Road to The Fountain Of Youth” later this year.
I especially remember one of the various musicals that Bing Crosby did. It was “High Society” with Grace Kelly (now Princess Grace of Monaco) and Frank Sinatra. In fact, before Bing died he told Spanish officials that, that was his favorite musical.
Upon his death, Bing Crosby left 2nd wife Katherine and seven children - four from his first marriage to Dixie Lee who died in 1957. He also left good friends Phil Harris, Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, George Burns and many others as well.
I feel that he could’ve been a friend to all, since he was a friendly and easygoing man. The soldiers of World War II will particularly remember him for that trait as well as the kindness he displayed to them overseas when the going was rough.
What can we say now, but Thanks Bing for what you’ve done. We will greatly miss you.

Beautiful Music
My first reaction to Dorothy Carter and her music is to cheer her on with exciting phrases, such as; Titillating! Electrifying!! Intoxicating! Sensational! But this is only one side of her music, mainly the side which is telling my body rhythm I’m feeling good.
Then there is the other side, the side that says, “Dorothy Carter’s music puts my mind at ease.” There is a mystical quality in the melody of her voice, which is concordant to the melody of her dulcimer.
She played two instruments, the hammered dulcimer and spaltry, in a two-set performance, Friday, Friday, October 21 between
noon and 2 p.m. in the Large Lounge.
The psaltry is an ancient instrument, mentioned in the Bible, resumbling a zither. The other string instrument, the hammered dulcimer, is ancestral to the harpsichord and piano. The particular _ dulcimer that Ms. Carter plays is Chinese; however, her music is not limited to Chinese melodies.
She plays a French Medieval song called “Trouba-dor,” the title of her latest album. This song is played on both instruments (not simultaneously, though). She also plays an Israeli melody, old Irish melodies, Appalachian songs and some of her own. The ly-
rics of one of her songs were taken from the 100th psalm of the Bible, entitled “Make A Joyful Sound.”
For you who have not caught Dorothy Carter’s performance, I say do something nice to yourself for a change. Observe the serene expression on her face that reflects her music. Her performance is not a show; it is an experience that will touch your soul and revive your senses. If you hear her, you will walk away feeling that something new has happened to you. The APC should invite her back. Encore! Dorothy Carter can certainly “Make A Joyful Sound.”

My First Column
By DAVE SWAN Photography Editor
Since this is my first column for The Crier, I am going to tell you what will be some of the goals of this column and the various aspects that I will be covering.
First, my intention is to write about the basics of being a good photographer. By this I mean the types of equipment that the professional photographers use, and also cameras, the types and their advantages or disadvantages. I will also be writing about photographic films and working in a darkroom. Most of what I’ll be writing about will be about photography in general.
In conclusion, I welcome the opinions and comments of the students and the faculty of this college on photography.
Changing Views On Booze
The gang gathers in the residence hall lounge for a fall party. Someone goes to the refreshment area and, where once only a keg of beer would have sufficed, finds plenty of soft drinks and snacks mandated by the new dorm rule requiring at least 20% of the refreshment budget to be allocated for such items. As the band pauses for a break, the singer encourages the crowd to try some of that “mean lemonade.” Later, the campus police drop by and make a friendly offer to give Breathalizer tests to those who may have to drive or are merely curious about the effect the beer is having on them. And.the antics of one overimbibing party-goer are met not with amusement, but with icy looks from his peers that seem to say, “Getting drunk is not cool, turkey."
That account of a hypotetical campus party illustrates several of the changes that are taking place — with calculated encouragement — in student drinking habits.
Alcohol will undoubtedly always play a part in campus social life, but it may lose its role as a foregone necessity. At Louisiana State U., for instance, the Interfraternity Council is planning to kick off the first football weekend with a nonalcoholic dinner, a drastic experiment in chaner-ing traditional fraternity fall rites.
At the U. of Florida a program lauded as a “model” by the director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism attempts to educate students, not by preaching, but by pointing out such easily observable negative effects of alcohol abuse as vandalism, accidents, lost friends, and noisy dorms. A 25 member volunteer alcohol abuse squad helps a paid staff with a series of talks telling students how to find answers for questions about drinking. The group runs anti-abuse poster contests, staffs a counseling center, sponsors a four-credit class on “Alternatives to Alcohol Abuse,” and has even been known to help a party keep from getting too “wet” by setting up its own snack bar.
A similar group at the U. of Massachusetts operates the peer counseling center “Room to Move,” once a drug information program but today largely concerned with alcohol problems. Like the Florida program, some funds come from HEW so the program must include services to off-campus residents also.
At the U. of South Carolina, a new residence halls alcohol policy requires every beer party to have a designated bartender responsible for refusing service to minors or those “maliciously drunk.” The rule specifies that parties may only be held in controlled access areas and may not be “bring your own” affairs. Groups sponsoring off-campus partiesmiust provide transportation. USC hall advisors receive regular training in alcohol problems, including sessions that attempt to change the students’ attitudes that in the past have made “dorm party” synonymous with “all you can drink.”

Students And The Law
By ISA IBRIHIM ABDULLAH
Here is a condensation of same:
Article 221 of the Penal Law:
Section 221.05 Violation -less than 25 grams is a violation punishable by a fine of not more than $100. If convicted within three years of a previous violation, the fine is not more than $200. For a third conviction within three years, a fine of not more than $250 and/or 15 days in jail.
Section 221.10 Fifth degree possession - more than 25 grams but less than two ounces. Fifth degree possession punishable by not more than 90 days, a class B misdemeanor.
Section 221.20 Third Degree Possession - more than eight but less than 16 ounces. Third degree possession punishable by not more than four years in a state penitentiary, a class E felony. >•
Section 221.25 Second Degree Possession - more than one pound but less than ten pounds. Second degree possession punishable by not more than seven years in a state penitentiary, a class D felony.
Section 221.30 First Degree Possession - any a-mount over ten pounds, First degree possession punishable by not more than 15 years.
The following changes were made with respect to SALES:
Section 221.35 Fifth Degree Sale - sale without consideration (that means turning someone on) of a marijuana cigarette or less than two grams. Fifth degree sale punishable by not more than 90 days in jail, a class B misdemeanor.
Section 221.40 Fourth De-
gree Sale - transfer or sale of more than two grams but less than 25 grams. Fourth degree sale is punishable by not more than one year in jail, a class A misdemeanor.
Section 221.45 Third Degree Sale - more than 25 grams but less than four ounces. Third Degree sale punishable by not more than seven years, a class D felony.
Section 221.55 First Degree Sale - any amount over one pound. First degree sale is punishable by not more than 15 years, a class C felony.
This is a quick rundown of the changes made in the pot laws, as a result of the new law, there were also changes in the Public Health Law and the Criminal Procedure Law. Changes made in the Criminal Procedure Law are in Sections 150.75,170.56 and 210.46.
While the 1977 changes reflect a more lenient approach towards the possession of pot they show that society has failed to accept certain realities. Probably the most important being that marijuana may be a much more socially acceptable drug than alcohol for a variety of reasons.
However, the argument whether or not pot should be as easily obtainable as booze or cigarettes deals with something truly fundamental, the right of an individual to entertain himself. Those who are against making pot available to a larger degree rely upon two primary points. First, that the use of pot exposes its users to other drugs such as cocaine, speed, heroin, barbs, etc. Generally this may be true in relatively large communities,
but this can be disproven not only from the view-- point of climbing a ladder to addictive drugs but from the prospective of older users of drugs. Many of these people will advise AGAINST the use of drugs such as speed, LSD, etc., as a result of their own personal experiences and personal observations. Also to be considered is the fact that commercially produced drugs are under tighter regulation than five, 10 or 15 years ago.
The second point of argument by pot opponents is that pot has a variety of negative effects on its users. These range from inability to concentrate, to inducement of psychosis, loss of memory, to the creation of a euphoric state, to an outright inability to deal with reality on any level. Since no one has been able to observe all pot smokers these statements have been debated to no end. Here again personal observation by people within the pot-using circles must take place. Just about anyone who has smoked pot can name a number of people, who, in reality, have been adversely affected by using pot. They become what many call potoholics, they are emotionally unstable, complacent, apathetic and probably more dangerous to themselves and to society as a result of the defeatist attitude they develop. These are the casualties who do not survive but merely exist in the world. A problem not only pot-heads but also among boozers, or any group that uses any substance or item to escape the reality with which they are confronted.
REVIEWS: Rashomon
A Review by Chris Nichols
Societies have been defined in various ways by various people to suit their own fancies. The anarchists would agree with me that the arena of laws which we are held under is nothing more than a bunch of crap. They were carefully collected by the air heads and scatter brains that permeate our community, supposedly for our protection, but “in reality for control. An example of such crap is the recent change in the pot laws. Prior to June 29, 1977, New York State pot laws were without a doubt insane, not in the same context as the laws of states like Georgia or Texas. However, when one considers that New York is supposed to be one of the more progressive states in the country, they, the pot laws, show how backward our thinking is in this area.
When the state legislature passed the Marijuana Reform Act of 1977, it began its Act as follows:
Section 1. The legislature finds that arrests, criminal prosecutions and criminals penalties are inappropriate for people who possess small quantities of marijuana for personal use. Every year, this process needlessly scars thousands of lives and wastes millions of dollars in law enforcement resources, while detracting from the prosecution of serious crimes.
The intent of the legislature is a little too late to satisfy the needs of the community. But, for those of you who are smokers, or non-smokers for that matter, there is some confusion in the law as it presently stands.
Ambiguous plays like “Rashomon” titillate the intellect and involve the audience spiritually and physically. We can identify with each person since all facets of their personality are shown to us whether they be positive or negative. Watching, this, I felt like I was evaluating myself by looking into a wallsized mirror, but with one distinct difference; that the glass image spoke back at me, never shielding sharp, sometimes distasteful.
truths about myself and human nature in general. Though “Rashomon” certainly instills the message that innate goodness, virtue and truth does and always will exist in people and our world; nobody is totally good or bad.
There are no easy answers. If we destroy someone by power or money instead of murdering them, should we consider ourselves any nobler than those killers we condemn? The performances demonstrate
“Rashomon’s” provocative wisdom glowingly.
Its storyline weaves a web of deceit in which the bandit, Tajamaru, a Woodcutter, a wife, and her samurai husband become entangled in. Flashbacks are used to present us with four conflicting views of how the samurai was killed and the question of a possible rape of his wife provide a tantalizing twist to already confused circumstances. Tajamaru’s vulnerable sexual brute-
manner is delightfully acted by Tim Wagstaff. Ann Distelhurst’s poignant portrait of the samurai’s wife is splendid. Edward Gustina as the samurai had such quizzical expressions on his face that he almost single-handedly stole certain scenes. John Olcott (a Woodcutter) and Isa Abdullah, (the Priest) were convincing and prophetic in their roles. Pam Doud did quite well with a sympathetic, difficult part as the wife’s mother. An ef-
A basic understanding of the human body and mind is necessary, and a recognition of the fact that anything taken into the body will affect its performance. Stop smoking cigarettes for a week and then light one up, five to one you cop a buzz. Go on a three day fast and see how quickly your usual breakfast of eggs, toast and coffee will get you off.
So, we are left with a dil-emna, what to do about the people who may become casualties. There is only one way in which lean pos -sibly approach this question. A few days ago, while sitting in an environmental earth science class, the instructor screened a film titled “A Thousand Sims.” It dealt with the rapid and wasteful use of our natural resources, from oil to whatever. Its message was a solemn one which gave not only me, but many of the other students in the class, pause to reflect. We are constantly talking, talking, talking about the preservation of our natural resources, however, somewhere along the line probably the most abused of our resources is the human mind. I have not only seen people who were are not casualties of the drug subculture, but I was at one time a casualty myslef. And I still have a great deal of difficulty in coming up with an adequate solution to the problem.
So we are left as before, leaving it up to the individual to determine how to pass his own time, while at the same time insuring the safety of their fellow human being, their brothers and their sisters.
fective moment of “Rashomon” occurs when the medium (Marina Novack) turns the art of dying into a horrifying spectacle as she gently slumps into death, as blood trickles out each side of her cheek, tarnishing her pale, doll-like face. Thus, the samurai’s death which follows this appears somewhat anti-climatic. Pat Kane’s caricature of a wigmaker who resembles a troll and screeches like the “wicked witch of the West” is theatrics at its finest. I felt that the show’s tempo throughout its running time didn’t lag. (Credit to Tom McGrath’s stylish direction and guidance.)
Nonetheless, costumes, set music and lighting contribute much to the oriental mystique. Examples such as swordfights between Tajamaru and the samurai, come to mind, also the deputy, played by A1 Paparelli, flashed a black wizard gown that contrasted with his orange cone hat.
Many factors constitute what makes plays come a-live or sink. It is nice to see true harmony between people blend together in this production. I know I have not paid tribute to all those who worked to spawn this impressive achievement and I hope they will forgive me. “Rashomon” and oriental food have one flaw in common; I ended up wanting more than a second helping.

Volleyball Team Looks Strong
Miss Lee, women’s .volleyball coach, returned to her duties this past week to lead her squad to four victories out of five matches. The week’s impressive showing, against all four-year schools, boosted their season record to an outstanding 7-1. In the seasonopening week, the Baronesses dumped Erie C.C., Jamestown, and Elmira without losing even a game, rolling up 105 points while allowing only 26.
The second week’s action began October 3rd with a trek to Kueka College. Corning played a well balanced game to deal Keuka a 15-7, 15-3, 15-5 defeat in a best three out of five match. Corning employed a tenacious offenseras passserving and setting were the apparent strengths during the match. The Coming gals played the ball to the floor so well in fact, that Keuka never actually had a chance to attack the ball, and was never really in the game.
October 6th was the girls final action of the week as they journeyed to Ithaca for a tournament. Coming placed second in the tour-
ney-in an impressive field of four year schools that included Ithaca College, Wells, Oswego, Colgate, and Coming. The first match of the night actually decided the champion, as eventual winner Ithaca downed the Baronesses 15-1, 15-6, for Corning’s only loss of the night. The loss to Ithaca should not be very disappointing as they were third in New York in 1976 among four-year schools; an impressive achievement.
In the second match of the night. Corning dumped Wells 15-1, 15-14, as the girls showed they could shake off the opening match loss. Next game Oswego and they too tasted defeat at the hands of Coming, as the girls thumped them 15-4, 6-15, 15-9. Finally, Corning took on Colgate, for their fourth straight match of the night, a tiring feat for many, but not so for Miss Lee’s gallant squad. The girl’s showed their good conditioning and played their best match of the night to down Colgate 15-8, 8-15, 15-8, thus securing their hold on second place in the tour-
ney.	.
Coach Lee contends that this tournament was definitely Corning’s toughest competition this year, and a second place behind Ithaca is an admirable finish. Although the team did make a few mistakes, possibly due to being nervous about playing four-year schools, they still did an outstanding job. All of their opponents boasted some tall girls and very hard hitters, but Coming kept them at bay all night. The baronesses were especially tough defensively, led by Nancy Larrison’s tenacious play. Robin Price and Joe Sellers played an excellent setting game, and Julie Peake played a well rounded game. Congratulations to the girls for their fine play so far this year.
During break week the volleyballers will face an-
The baseball season has finally come to an end and as usual my playoff and World Series predictions were incorrect. I have to hand it to the Yankees who bounced from sure defeat in Kansas City, to beat the Royals in the last inning of the last game and advance into the World Series a-gainst the Los Angeles Dodgers. I picked the Dodgers to beat the Royals in the series, four games to two, and when the Dodgers’ opponent turned out to be the Yankees instead, I figured the series not to go beyond five games. Again, I was wrong. Although, I have been Yankee hater for as long as I can remember, you have to give credit where credit is due.
Might just as well start from the top. George Stein-brenner, it has been said, bought the pennant and World Series championship. True he went out and bought a lot of high priced free agents but the other 25 major league clubs could have done the same thing. For one reason or another, either a lack of guts, no cash or whatever, not
other very tough schedule as they have all away matches against some fine schools. Monday, the girls travel to Binghamton to play SUNY Bing, and New Paltz, both four-year schools. On Wednesday, they journey to Syracuse to play Syracuse University and Herkermer Community College, for what should be an exciting match-up. Syracuse was New York’s number one four-year school in 1976, and they should prove to be tough. On Saturday, October 15th, Corning travels to Eisenhower for another tournament against four-year schools. The field includes Coming, Eisenhower, Nazareth, Niagara College, and Wells. This week should prove to be a tough one for the volleyballers.
By the way, to make sure everyone knows who the

many other clubs did. Could you see what kind of fire Steinbrenner would have been under from the New York press had the Yankees failed to win the American League East pennant or probably even the American League pennant? It was definite gamble on Steinbrenner’s part and he had the guts to take the gamble.
Secondly, just because Steinbrenner paid a lot of cash for Gullett, Jackson, Hunter, etc. did not automatically assure the Yankees of the pennant. Someone had to be there to mold these different, and often times, big egos into a workable unit, namely, a team. The man Steinbrenner chose for this unenviable task was Billy Martin. Under the circumstances Martin did one hell of a job. I know from experience that managing the Yankees last season wasn’t the kind of job- every man -dreams about.

base coach of the Yanks. At that particular time Martin was in jeopardy of losing his job for the second time this season. Howser stated that he did not want the job because he had security and did not want to throw all that security out the window for a shot at managing the Yankees. A smart decision, I think. However, all the credit in the world should be extended to Martin. He did a hell of a job managing a bunch of players who played as individuals and not as a team. All I can say is congratulations on a great season Bill and all the rest of the Yanks. It is much harder winning when you are expected to win, than being the underdog. The Yanks did this and more power to them.
Remember, baseball, workouts are being conducted every Tuesday and Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Goff Road Gym. It is still not too late to sign up for the team. Mandatory workouts do not begin until February 1, so if interested, come into my office, U-203 in the Commons, to sign up.
