National student loan bill would cut default rate
Campus Digest News Service
Campus officials throughout the country are enthusiastic over the introduction of a bill that seeks to restructure the present student-aid program.
Democratic Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts and Republican Senator Henry Bellmon of Oklahoma, introduced their National Student Loan Reform Act in the Senate last July.
Students in graduate and undergraduate schools who need aid would get comprehensive assistance from the program. The bill would simplify collection procedures and give low-income families flexible repayment schedules. These, it is hoped, would prevent excessive default rates.
“The fact of the matter is that the present loan system does not work. You have such widely differing standards,” said Kennedy.

The National Direct Student Loan Program, once established as the basic program would grant loans to all eligible students to cover the cost of tuition, room and board at institutions of their choice. The Student Loan Marketing association (“Sallie Mae”) and the federal Treasury would provide the financial backing for the project.
Under the Kennedy-Bellmon proposal, the size of a loan would be determined by the other income and scholarships available to a student. It differs from the present system which often requires the student’s credit rating or the availability of loan capital.

Good luck to all the faculty in their endeavors.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE REAL VICTIMS
“We wanted to find out who is paying for college, and who is paying too much,” explains John Augenblick of the Education Commission of the States. “What we found out is that the student from a middle-income background — more so than the parent — pays for his own education.”
The commission’s study also found that community college students tend to pay more than other students toward their educations, and that they get
Students would begin to repay their loans a month after their graduation. Those with larger loans would be given longer repayment schedules and financially needy students would repay gradually.
“The important thing is that this new approach will be no more costly than the existing loan program, but much more efficient,” said Kennedy.
“I’m very serious about this issue, and I’m hopeful that it will gain strong support. It already has strong bipartisan backing from people of differing ideological viewpoints.” he added.
A Congressional aide said, “It's my guess that in some form or other the major provisions of this new Kennedy bill will be incorporated into the overall reauthorization of the federal student-aid program.”
A “supplemental” loan program is also proposed to provide students with the
less for their money than other students.
The report, which was prepared by the commission’s William Hyde, divides college costs between what families contribute to their children’s educations, and what the student contributes. It concludes that, proportionately, parents of low-income students contribute too much toward their children’s college educations, while affluent families pay a smaller percentage of education costs than other classes of families.
But the student who pays the highest percentage of the costs of his or her education is the one from a middle-class family. Put another way, middle-class families are contributing less to their children’s education than the families could afford. The report thus concludes that middle-class students are the ones being “squeezed” most by the inflating costs of education.
Middle-income families are defined as those earning $10,-000 to $35,000 per year.
Yet if the report is disheartening to middle-class students, it’s terrible news for community college students.
If you are a student in a community college, you are paying 37.9 percent of the cost of attending. Students at private two-year colleges, by comparison, are paying only 25.8 percent of their education costs.
The average for all sectors of education is 32.6 percent. Community college students, in sum, pay a larger share of their own education costs than any other class of student.
The report also suggests community college students may be getting less education for their money. “In terms of institutional expenditures per dollars spent for education by the student, community college students (and students at
money usually expected to be contributed by parents. This program would be financed by private lenders and state guarantee agencies and be backed by Sallie Mae.
Unlike the basic loan, the supplemental loan would charge interest rates of at least 71/2 percent while the student is in school. Interest charges for an undergraduate on the basic program would start after he had been out of school for a year.
Outstanding loans under the basic program would be collected by Sallie Mae and under the supplemental program by banks and other lending agencies.
Re-authorization of student-aid programs are scheduled for next year. The Senate Subcommittee on Education, Arts, and Humanities would begin its hearings this fall.
private two-year colleges) receive less per dollar by them than students at four-year institutions." In other words, community college students spend more of their own money for their classes, but get less education in return.
Middle-income students, on the other hand, are at least getting some help with their problem.
An attempt to make it easier for middle-income and “independent" students to get the money to pay for college was made last November, when President Carter signed the Middle-income Student Assistance Act. The act makes Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOGs) and other financial aid available for the first time to children of families that earn up to $25,000 per year.
Origially scheduled to take effect in September, 1980, the act has been moved up to make financial aid available for middle-income students this fall.
CORPS CONSTRUCTS AT CREST
The Youth Conservation Corps, under the direction of Jim Shanley of Avoca, and Mike Johnston of Campbell, designed and constructed several additions to Spencer Crest over the summer months. The new additions include a six-sided shelter at Amelia Pond. Also, they constructed an outdoor amphitheater on the side hill north of Amelia Pond. The group also added an observation tower on the upper trails and worked to get the trail system in great condition.
The Youth Conservation Corps is federally funded through the Steuben County Manpower Administration. The program is designed to provide summer employment to teen-aged youths and to involve these young people in conser-
SASU LAUDS CAREY FOR SIGNING TRUTH-IN-TESTING
SASU.the Student Association of the State University Inc., today praised Governor Hugh L. Carey for signing into law a disclosure bill aimed at makers of standardized college entrance exams.
Known as “Truth-in-Testing" legislation, it is the first of its kind in the nation to require makers of the exams to file all internal studies on test validity with the State Education Dept., and make available to students their graded answer sheets and correct test answers 30 days after scores are released.
Larry Schillinger SASU legislative director, called the legislation “A major advance towards the recognition of students as consumers of education.”
“Virtually all other standardized exams - the Bar Exam, Competency Exams, Civil Service Exams - are open for inspection to those taking them. Now, students too are offered this right," said Schillinger.
Sharon Ward, SASU President, complimented Carey for his “courage and vision in enacting this legislation.”
The “Truth-in-Testing" bill, backed by every major student, parent, teacher and civil rights group in the State, places New York State in the forefront of what many consider to become a nationwide move towards standardized testing regulation.
SASU is the statewide student lobbying and mobilizing group representing the 160,000 students attending the State University of New York.
ELECTION
The Student Government Association would like all students to know that there is a Board of Trustees representative election coming up on October 18 and 19. This position is open to any student and involves attending student Government, Executive Board, Board of Trustees meetings and acting as a general liaison between the Board of Trustees of Corning Community College and the Student Government Association. This is a paying job. For further information come to the Student Government Office located in the Commons.

Kennedy or Carter?
It is a well known fact that the economy of this country is in bad shape. How can it be put back onto the road towards recovery? In my opinion, the answer will be determined when the votes are cast in the 1980 Presidential election.
The Republican party, as usual, has had a rash of two-bit politicians express interest in the presidency.-However, they do not have the same feeling of excitement that is currently being felt by the Democrats.
The Democrats have incumbent Jimmy Carter and Senator Edward Kennedy, although at the time this is being printed neither has declared their candidacy. Will this be a close race?
I fear not.
President Carter is slipping in popularity faster than the dollar is falling on the foreign market. There doesn’t seem to be anything he can do to salvage a respectable amount of Americans to support his campaign. Things are not falling into place the way Carter had predicted. His major problem seems to be the Senate. They, the Senate and Carter, just can’t get together on any programs, at least within a decent amount of time. I have this strong feeling that Carter’s luck has been foretold by the “vicious rabbit.” Almost everyone, even the animals are turning against him.
Meanwhile, Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy has cast his image upon Americans. It is hard to avoid Kennedy or his record in the Senate. He's a worker and nothing exhibits that more than his proposals for the National Health Care Program along with his Energy Plan.
Kennedy has a lot going for him. He will get votes from all classes of voters. If the Democrats are united behind him so much so as is publicized they can probably cancel their convention, save money by using write-in votes.
The funniest thing concerning the great race between the Kennedy-Carter race is the way the press has blown it all out of proportion. If they examined all the facts they would see that Jimmy is out and Teddy’s closest opponent is California Governor Jerry Brown, unless Rosalyn decides to run. Then Kennedy will have to work to get his name on the mailbox on Pennsylvania Avenue.

“The Returning Older Student"
A large group of students have been seen on college campuses throughout the nation. These are the returning older students. Most likely, each of you have classes in which older students are present. Although they may look pretty relaxed, they have many fears and anxieties about being on a college campus.
These fears and anxieties run from wondering if they can make the grade after so many years away from formal education to wondering whether it would be worth the effort.
The returning older student fears that he may be out of place in what has been primarily a
Guest Editorial
by Dr. Robert T. Giuffrida Professor of Modern Languages
It would be very nice if unpleasant things would just go away and not bother the memory or conscience. One is reminded of the young child who, fearful of something it cannot understand, hides under the covers in the vain hope that the fearsome “thing" will not be there in a few moments. The analogy with the ostrich and its trick of putting its head in the sand is all too obvious.
In a very real sense America has sought to do just this in the matter of those who returned from the undeclared war in Viet Nam. Through an intricate system of “benefits” which include permanent treatment for paraplegics, education, access to Veterans’ Administration facilities and sundry, our government, speaking for all of us, has sought to expiate the horrible wrong done our young people who responded to the call to fight “for” their country. The monetary benefits, the access to facilities, the effort at returning Viet Nam veterans to the “normal” world are, to be sure, a fine and proper step in the direction of rewarding those who left the comfort of civilian life to go over to a weird country and do an undefined job.
If such tributes and compensations were sufficient to replace the time, the suffering, the distance from loved ones, the physical hardship and the psychological beating suffered by the Viet Nam service personnel, there would be no point in writing this article. Tragically, however, we are mute witness to a delayed phenomenon known as the Viet Nam Veteran Syndrome. Simply stated, it is that the very nature of the Viet Nam conflict was such as to leave the men and women who fought in it wondering why they had fought and how they are now regarded by the society which sent them. Can we believe, are we willing to accept the inevitable truth that these service persons have returned
young person’s world. Will they be ridiculed for going to college at such a late date? How will their friends and family feel about it?
The returning older student wonders if he or she will beable to cope with course requirements. Have they forgotten how to learn? Is it too late to renew the formal education process?
The older student wonders how he or she will fit into college social life. Will they be accepted or will they be looked on as part of the “older generation?” Are there extra curricular activities and social events for the older student? In other words, is there a place for the older student in campus activities?
Why does the older student return to formal education?
to a society which despises them, shows little or no sympathy for ills suffered and, indeed resents them much as one would a festering sore or an alcoholic uncle? The result? The veterans, having seen the hero’s return accorded the WWII warriors and those retur-ning from Korea, are bewildered, then unable to cope with the rejection which a society, not committed to the “Viet Nam Affair”, has heaped upon it’s fighting sons and daughters.”
The movies “The Deer Hunter”, “Coming Home” and “Apocalypse Now” are but the artistic projections of this abrasive reality. More to the point, this campus, which is enlightened, modern, progressive and essentially kind, has not received the Viet Nam veteran in any warm way. Although I would not suggest dancing maidens strewing rose petals in the paths of the heroes,
I would be delighted to see veterans associating with the student body in general, rather than grouping into a subculture. The administration of the college, further, has not made a concerted and congenial effort to make the veteran feel at home. It is sad to note that the veterans’ counselor on the second floor of the administration building has been shunted across the way into a wide open space in which the counselor and veteran must conduct personal, often private discussions, in a fishbowl. Further, I find it deplorable that there is space for chaplains, academic counselors, WCBA, the Crier, ICC, Student Government and countless other groups intheCommonsandthe veterans are having literally to beg for a space where they may meet, relax, unwind and find the camaraderie which is so vital a part of their adjustment to this new life-style.
Several years ago the veterans on campus gave me the one honor I will ever want: they named me their permanent senior advisor. As a product of the WWIIculture and a veteran of that war I have more sympathy and empathy for these veterans than I can express. With this article I exhort, I request, I beg and I stress that we have a solemn obligation to these people. They are not a mere “club”, they are not a simple "group”. They are the
(Cont. on Page 3)
Many continue on where they had left off years before; many are veterans whose education was interrupted by military service. A number of older students are in college for the first time — perhaps the children have left home and they now want a career for themselves. Others are aware of the tight job market and are returning to college to get an education in some specific field. There are many other reasons.
But with all these fears and anxieties, the older student copes with them all, well. You can see these students smiling in the Commons, getting involved with different organizations and clubs, listening to the woes of other older students, and being all around friends.
I had a little trouble deciding what to write about this time. Part of the problem is that there is a two week time lag between the time I turn in my column and the time it appears in print. How can I write something this week that will still be relevant two weeks from now without being the major cause of fits of yawning?
I really wonder why this rag can’t be published weekly. Other writers face the same problems. Stories have to be written this week for an event next week that will appear in the paper a week later. Confused? Good. So am I.
The topics of conversation this week in the PIG PEN (this week’s selected topic) probably won’t be of much interest next week except for the constant stripes.
To illustrate a point, some of the topics discussed at my table this week were:
What do you think of combining the activities of
I.M.P.A.C.T. and the Vets Club?
What happend to everybody?
I used to have to get to class early to find a seat, but now there are several empty seats.
Hey! I think I found your new Frenicks. Have you ever been to that little place on Columbia St.? (Yes, I have, with a few other older students, and there are definite possibilities).
Have you heard the one about the traveling language professor?
Are you going to the social Friday? I’ve heard about those Vets Symposiums. (You probably heard right).
Isn’t John S. just the sexiest thing you ever saw? (Sorry John).
How can you take five oranges away from three oranges? Have you ever seen a negative two oranges? (That would be telling).
I would like to get a tutor, but I feel funny having someone ten years younger than I am help me.
Isn’t there supposed to be an hour in the middle of the day somewhere when there are no scheduled classes? (All the meetings I want to attend are scheduled during the hour when I have a lecture for my most difficult course).
If I am saying T.G.I.F. in September, what is going to happen in December?
How come the airconditioner only works after the first hard frost and the heat comes on in late April?
Did you ever notice that some
by Doug Humphrey people don’t think, let alone act like other people? (I stole that line from an old Lee Hazlewood album and I don’t even try to explain what it means, but it brings us to the topic for this week’s harangue.
I don't want this column to become a perpetual beef box, but some problems lend themselves well to the time delay because they are so constant.
Every morning when I get to school I have to have my morning coffee before I even try to get my second eye open. The Commons cafeteria is quiet at 7:30 a.m. It is also clean. I sit there and catch as much of the full blast of the morning sun as I can. By the time I begin my second cup, the sun is high enough in the sky so that I feel relatively safe in attempting to open the other eye. Usually I find much to my surprise, that I am not alone. Usually there are a few other sleep-walkers hiding behind the steam from their eye-openers.
Then it’s off to class with styrofoam security blanket clutched tightly in my shaky hand.
By the time I get back to the cafeteria there has been a drastic change. It is no longer quiet or empty. Nor is it clean. Invariably, the place looks likea local pig farmer had left his glasses at home, a wrong turn somewhere and fed the wrong bunch of animals.
I don’t know about any of the rest of you, but I am not too fond of having to sit at a table where there are a couple of trays, dirty plates and coffee cups and bits of organic matter ready for the compost heap. Most ot the people I talk to don’t like it any more than I do.
What can we do about it? What really burns me is that some people will sit and complain about the condition of the place and then get up and leave their own tray behind. Even when I have been so bold as to point out the seeming inconsistency of the deed, I often get just a shrug of the shoulder and the tray is still left behind.
It is discouragingtothinkthat the mothers of America have let us down. It seems we have been taken from the play pen and dropped into the pig pen. Even a pig will keep clean if given half a chance, and I am going to be a non-conformist. I am going to continue to pick up after myself and, if I have to, after my less-considerate classmates.

“A suspense filled mystery that left the audience sitting on the edge of their seats,” that is the best way to describe the Two-Bit Players rendition of “Sleuth”, written by Anthony Shaffer.

I ask the student body, the faculty and the administration to consider the veteran in this light and to put forth that extra word and deed that says, “Thanks.” The veteran brings to a college campus the maturity, experience, age, and insights which others lack. They add an important ingredient to the mix on this campus.
drew Wyke’s English mansion. The room, which was tastefully flavored gothic, was littered with games. William Tripoli was cast as Andrew Wyke. Wyke is pictured as a “middleaged writter of who-dun-its.” The main character in Wilke’s books, Sir Lord John Merridew, could best be depicted as a fantasy of what Wykes would like to be. At times throughout the play Merridew is called upon for advice.
Tripoli portrayed Wykes as a strong, very cunning, English sleuth. He is in complete control throughout the first act. His dynamic portrait of Wykes more than makes up for the butterflies experienced by his counterpart.
After a weak beginning Milo Tindle, played by Bruce Barney, gradually gained control of his image as the native lover of Mrs. Wykes. Barney showed just how versatile an actor he actually was when he totally faked out the audience, as well as Wykes, as an old, bent over, yet authoritative inspector Doppler. It was the portrayal of Doppler that received enough laughs to rock the scenery.
Tripoli and Barney, although both were shaky at times, for the most part submitted splendid performances. It is against human nature to be the underdog yet these two men successfully interchanged from the roles of master to fool
News In Brief
American medical students in the Carribean will find it hard to geta job when they come home.
Due to tough competition to get into the 125 U.S. medical schools, more and more would-be doctors are turning to the Carribean for their medical education. Unfortunately they may not be able to go into practice when they return.
The Association of American Medical Colleges doubts the ability of new medical schools in the Carribean to adequately train students. Not only are they certain that these medical schools cannot give medical students proper clinical experience, the AAMC is uncertain of the schools’ abilities to provide adequate science teaching.
in October a Life/Career Planning Workshop will take place on Wednesday, October

18	from 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Sign ups for that workshop will be on the 11th, 12th and 15th of October.
With the growing use of computers in the business world, more and more business schools are requiring computer courses.
Spiridellis and Associates of New York made a survey of 15 leading business schools, nine of which required its students to take a computer course and several of which recommended them.
Everett Keech of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School says, “We feel it’s absolutely critical that our MBA’s be able to demonstrate a working knowledge of advanced computer programming.”
People are watching more TV than they did a year ago.
Television viewing rose to a record average of six hours and 34 minutes a day in the last six months. A total of thirteen minutes more a day than a year ago. The Television Bureau of Advertising believes the increase is due to more people staying home to save gas.

Appointment causes controversy at UM
Campus Digest News Service
Controversy rages over the appointment of Marxist Bertrell Oilman to the chair of the government and politics department at the University of Maryland. Last July the university’s newly elected president, John S. Toll disapproved the appointment. The American Association of University Professors, at its last annual general meeting in Houston, Texas, imposed censureship on the university for refusing to approve Oilman’s appointment.
The A.A.U.P.’s delegates voted 143 to 101 for censureship despite a recommendation by the association’s Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure that censureship be withheld.
The committee by a vote of 6 to 5 preferred the A.A.U.P. to express its concern to the university but it did “not recommend the imposition of censure at this time.”
Oilman had been offered the post in March 1978 by a faculty search committee of the university’s College Park Campus. Then an associate professor of political science at New York University, Oilman accepted the appointment that would give him the rank of full professor and the chairmanship of the Maryland department.
Shortly afterwards, Mayland’s acting governor, Blair Lee III, doubted that Oilman’s Marxist beliefs would be good for the university's image. Three university regents also publicly questioned the appointment.
Mr. Toll inherited the decision and disapproved the appointment basing his decision, he said, on academic not political reasons.
Oilman then filed suit in federal district court alleging that he had not been appointed to the faculty because of his political beliefs. He claims violations of his rights under the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution.
Pleading instructions by counsel not to discuss the case with legal proceedings pending, Toll refused to meet with the A.A.U.P.’s investigating committee until the lawsuit was settled.
The committee’s report states that Toll, while he could have resolved the problem, chose to act in a way that “poses a danger to academic freedom as well as to sound academic government.”
Toll criticized the investigative report in letters to the A.A.U.P. and Committee A. He wrote that it "contains factual inaccuracies and numerous legal and factual inferences which the university, under present circumstances, cannot correct, clarify, or rebut.”
The A.A.U.P’s Academic Freedom Fund had contributed support to Oilman’s lawsuit. Noting this, Toll questioned A.A.U.P’s role as an “impartial investigator.” “The association cannot be both a public supporter of Dr. Oilman and also an impartial investigatorof his charges,” he said.
Committee A maintains that Toll should have given clear reasons for disapproving Oilman’s appointment but does not find "sufficient evidence ... of an actual violation of academic freedom to recommend censure.”
Noting that this was the first time in 15 years that the A.A.U.P. rejected any of the committee’s recommendations, Toll said, “The A.A.U.P’s departure for the first time in many years from its normal procedures diminishes its credibility.
“We need to create a new national organization that will proceed fairly and that will defend the widely accepted institutional procedures that protect academic freedom. Universities should be deeply concerned at the unfair attempt of the national office of A.A.U.P to interfere unduly with established policies regarding university appointments.
“The academic community should recognize that the A.A.U.P. national office has itself become a threat to academic freedom.”
In response to Toll’s charges, A.A.U.P’s president, Martha Freidman, said that the delegates had reached their decision “only after an extended debate.”
“In no way did the association depart from its normal procedures,” she said.
Ms. Friedman denied that the A.A.U.P. had interfered with the university’s policies saying that the association believed that “a president is obliged to explain a decision to reject — especially if the political beliefs of the rejected appointee have been made a matter of public issue.”
For the past 50 years the A.A.U.P. has used censure to inform the academic community that the governing bodies of certain colleges and universities are not, in the association’s view, observing the A.A.U.P.’s principles of academic freedom and tenure. Over 100 other higher— education organizations and professional societies endorse the 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure.
Jordan E. Kurland, the A.A.U.P.’s associate general secretary said that each year the association receives 2500 requests from faculty members for assistance in matters of academic freedom.
A number of these are settled during the year but “those that are not resolved and pose serious issues of academic freedom are investigated by special ad hoc committees.
At the annual general meetings, the most critical violations are considered for censureship. There are 46 colleges and universities on the association’s list of censured institutions.

I’m back, to the surprise and dismay of many. But I won’t be here very much. By the way, for those of you who are new to these hallowed halls or who have not read a Crier during your doctoral studies at Corning, I’m the person who inhabits the Career Information Center. If posed upon your lips is the question: “On what distant shore will I find this Career Information Center?” you don't get around much.
The Career Information Center is in the Library, that glassy structure at the far end of the campus. I know it looks dark and foreboding, but that’s an illusion accomplished with acres of tinted thermal pane. It’s really bright and cheery inside. Smiles can be seen on many faces in the Library and they aren’t drug induced smiles, either. The restrooms are clean and the reading material is plentiful. You ought to stop in and see us.
I digress (look it up). Back at the Career Information Center. Why should you come here? We have catalogs from colleges and universities across the country — Stanford, U.C.L.A., U. of Arizona, U. of Colorado, North Dakota Tech., Dartmouth, all them places. Cornell, R.I.T., Clarkson, Rensselaer in upstate New York. There is a complete set of catalogs for SUNY schools; Binghamton, Buffalo, Brockport, Cortland, Fredonia, Purchase, all them places. Altogether there are over 1,200 catalogs.
You could spend a lot of time going through 1,200 college catalogs. Days and days. Then you’d be so confused you wouldn’t know what to do. So
we have guides to undergraduate education: Barron’s, The College Bluebook, Peterson’s and more. These guides can tell you which schools offer the major you want and how much it will cost.
If you aren’t sure what type of work you want, there are helpful books on careers, choosing and finding them, what the future holds for particular careers and what the present pays. Some of the books deal with the nitty-gritty of getting a job, where to look, how to apply, how to write resumes and handle an interview.
I could go on and on. But I have lots of time to do that in the weeks to come. I plan to contribute regularly to this publication. The specific topic for each article will range from Masters to Fine Arts scholarships in Iran to picking raspberries in the Yukon for fun and profit.
Until then, stop in the Career Information Center. Tell me what you want or what you need. See what we have to offer. Or stop to say hello. The first one hundred students who mention Nancy Farquarth wins a Rolls-Royce.

BOOK REVIEW:
PAIN AND PROFIT
The Politics of Malpractice by Sylvia Lkw and Steven Polan Harper & Row; $12.95
by Richard Meisler
If medical malpractice has never crossed your mind, you’re an optimist. Everyone is an actual or potential patient. One wonders: How safe are we in the care of our doctors and hospitals? What medical and legal structures protect us from incompetence? Answers to these questions depend on answers to other questions about American medicine: What do doctors do, where do they do it, who are their patients, how are they paid, is their work effectively monitored?
There are barriers to a clear understanding of malpractice. One is our worshipful attitude toward doctors, an attitude that has made it easier for the profession to create an almost invulnerable political position for itself. Another is the obscure self-protective language the profession has developed, an effect of which is to make us feel that medicine is too hard for the rest of us to comprehend. And once we penetrate the intellectual defenses of doctors, we must still contend with the legal profession and the insurance industry, both of which can generate some pretty thick smoke of their own.
There is not a lot of hard data on the extent of substandard medical practice. Pain and Profit refers to one study by the former head of the National Federation of State Medical Boards. His judgement is that five percent of practicing American doctors are “unscrupulous, unethical, delinquent or incompetent.” Indeed it would be hard to im-
BALLET SEASON SET TO BEGIN
“Zingara” will return to the Strand stage “by popular demand", according to Ithaca Ballet’s Artistic Director Alice Reid. The classic work by nationally known choreographer and danseur Roman Jasinski will highlight the company's fall performance Sunday, October 7, at 8:15 p.m. at the historic Ithaca theater.
The upstate company premiered the work before an enthusiastic summer audience in August after Jasinski, along with his wife ballerina Moscelyne Larkin, son Roman L. Jasinski, and assistant Hope Theodoras, spent a week in Ithaca “setting” the ballet for the local company.
“Since word got out that we would be performing again this fall,” Reid reports, “my phone hasn’t stopped ringing with requests for a repeat performance of ‘Zingara’. Those who missed
agine a profession that could maintain competence in more than 95 percent of its practitioners, using even the most stringent forms of quality control, which alas the medical profession does not. Yet five percent would amount to 16,000 doctors coming into contact with twelve million patients. The potential for harm is enormous.
Pain and Profit addresses the questions that are critical to understanding malpractice as both an intellectual and social problem. Strategies for solution are evaluated in light of the available data, political values and common sense. The authors are Sylvia Law, a distinguished young professor at N.Y.U. Law School, and Steven Polan, an attorney who specializes in health law and currently works as an assistant to the City Council President of New York. In a previous book Law developed the definitive critical analysis of Blue Cross. Pain and Profit extends that work by offering a more comprehensive examination of the American health care system, and it does so with remarkable accessibility to a general reader.
After an introduction to the basics of malpractice law, the book considers the medical, legal and insurance systems in turn. Geographic and specialty maldistribution is one important focus of the section on medicine, and professional self-discipline through peer review is another. The book is replete with evidence that the latter system does not work.Doctors do not use existing peer review structures to examine and criticize each other’s work rigorously. Flagrantly poor practice and unprofessional behavior pass unnoticed or at least unchallenged. This is not, of course, a conceptual problem: it is easy to imagine
the summer show have heard how thrilling a ballet it is and those who saw it can’t wait to see it again," Reid continued. “Our dancers responded to the audience’s enthusiasm and are eager to perform ‘Zingara’ before Ithaca’s larger fall crowd.”
The six lead roles in ‘Zingara’ will again be danced by the three couples Jasinski chose on his visit — Cindy Reid and Goddard Finley, Nan Gallagher and James Long, and Sarah Reid and Lawrence Brantley. The principal dancers will be backed by a nine-member corps de ballet.
Cindy Reid and the Ithaca company “have actually succeeded in capturing the hint of gypsy in ‘Zingara’ while retaining its essentially classical flavor,” praised Jasinski after seeing Ithaca’s initial performance of the work, “like Weiniawski, whose music is essentially classical but with a hint of the gypsy.” The ballet is danced to Polish composer Henryk Weiniawski’s second violin concerto and named “Zingara”, or gypsy, after the work’s final movement
Dancer Reid, Ithaca’s acting ballet mistress, is a former scholarship student at American Ballet Theatre School and a former soloist with Ballet
how the quality control system could be given teeth. The problem is that many members of the profession have strong vested interests in laxity.
The problem of maldistribution is more difficult and probably closer to the heart of the matter. It isonthispointthat Law and Polan are most incisive. They show the results of our political system’s unwillingness to regulate the medical profession. The basic point is that “tragically and ironically, doctors can generally make more money for doing less work if they practice in specialties and areas where the human need is least.” Large numbers of physicians choose to become surgical specialists in urban areas. Quoting a report of the National Academy of Sciences, Law and Polan write, “There are more neurosurgeons in New York City than in the whole of the Soviet Union, and ’you have 700 times as great a chance of having your head opened up here as you would in some other countries where the quality of care is also high.’ ” The logic of the situation suggests, and the data confirm, that malpractice, unnecessary or substandard treatment, follows. The surgeons need the patients more than the patients need the surgery. A shortage of primary care physicians develops. “The incentives provided by the existing market system are destructive ones.”
When the authors turn to their own profession, they focus on a single fact. Malpractice insurance premiums, paid directly by physicians indirectly by patients, theoretically provide protection to both groups. It is the lawyers, however, who receive a greater share of the malpractice dollar. Examining the economics of the situation, they come to a conclusion that will be supported by everyone who has ever walked into a lawyer’s office. The problem is “not that patients’ lawyers make too much, or even that malprac-
Repertory Theater, the touring company of American Ballet Theater. Her partner, Goddard Finley, will return from SUNY Purchase, where he is studying ballet under Jacques D’ Am-boise of the New York City Ballet, for the October 7 performance.
Jasinski, co-director with Ms. Larkin of the Tulsa, Okl. Ballet Theater, choreographed “Zingara” for his own company’s entry in the 1979 Southwest Regional Ballet Festival in Wichita Falls, Texas, this spring. There the ballet was performed at the gala climaxing the festival and adjudicated to be listed in the National Choreography Plan, a Mellon-Foundation sponsored register of outstanding ballets premiered in the United States each year.
The Jasinski’s trip to Ithaca was sponsored by the New York State Council for the Arts, under a grant for bringing works listed in the National Choreography Plan to New York companies outside of New York City. The grant is administered by the National Association for Regional Ballet.
“Ithaca was the fifth or sixth company wanting to perform ‘Zingara’, but the first one acceptable to us as capable of performing this difficult piece,”
tice lawyers make too much relative to other lawyers, but rather that lawyers generally receive compensation that is very high relative to other people in the society; hence the costs of legal services are very high relative to the compensation of patients.”
Another central theme of Pain and Profit is that the contingent fee system leaves many patients utterly without legal recourse if they become victims of malpractice. Lawyers generally require a few hundred dollars up front tofinancea preliminary investigation of a malpractice case, and they won’t take a case unless the damages are likelyto be more than $25,000. If you can’t afford the initial fee, or if your earning power is low and won’t produce a large sum for wages unearned due to injury, or if the harm you’ve suffered is mild, you wont’t find a malpractice lawyer to represent you.
A major portion of the book's treatment of the insurance industry is a close and instructive analysis of the malpractice “crisis” of the early seventies. The episode was like some of our oil crises, the result of corporate strategies and panic psychology. There were only minor changes in the market’s basic economic realities, but good publicity and corporate crisis management produced dramatically higher prices and profits. The regulation of the insurance industry is shown to leave the companies with almost total freedom to manipulate and rig data when applying for rate increases.
Pain and Profit contains an extraordinary 30-page appendix, “Excerpts from Gonzales v. Nork,” reprinting portions of Judge B. Abbott Goldberg’s decision in California granting Gonzales, a patient, $3.7 million, the largest malpractice award in history. It is a story of dozens of bungled or unnecessary operations that left the victims crippled and maimed. It is so horrible that one is
reported Ms. Larkin, herself recently named as Oklahoma’s “Woman of the Year” for 1979. Jasinski and Ms. Larkin saw Ithaca Ballet perform at the Northeast Regional Ballet Festival in Allentown, Pa„ in May and were “taken by Cindy’s flow of movement and the company’s professional quality.” Jasinski, whose works have been honored with National Choreography Plan listing more often than any other choreographer’s, is best known to balletomanes as an original member and premier danseur of the Original Ballet Russeand its successor, the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo, of which he was

tempted to protest that such sensationalism is unworthy of this serious book. But the point is too clear and graphic, too compelling for us to discount. At each step in the narrative we are painfully aware that although Dr. Nork may have been unusual, the factors that protected him and allowed him to function were absolutely general. All of the standard medical, legal, institutional and moral safeguards were in place. To no avail. They were no match for the reluctance of physicians to look at the work of colleagues critically, combined with the pathethic collaboration of patients who cannot admit the possibility of their doctor's fallibility.
The concluding chapter of Pain and Profit is devoted to summary statements of the causes of malpracitce and of the basic principles that would govern any real solution. Law and Polan are not embarrassed by simplicity and common sense:	“Doctors could be
salaried." “Profiles of the performance of doctors and hospitals . . . could and should be made available to patients." “. . . the fee-for-service system and the major health-insurance plans encourage overspeciliza-tion, unnecessary hospitalization, and excess surgery.”
Law and Polan examine the current medical, legal and insurance reform proposals and find most of them lacking. They argue consistently and persuasively that strong government regulation on behalf of the consumer-patient is required to offset the power of two influential professions and a giant corporate establishment. Only government intervention will be effective in restructuring economic incentives that are destructive. The formidable strength of the forces that will oppose such solutions does not belie, indeed perhaps it confirms, the truth of the analysis.

MY EYE ON SPORTS
by Larry French

The Baltimore Orioles have wrapped up the American League East already and will now await the outcome of the race in the West to see who they will be up against in the playoffs. I still think the Kansas City Royals will sneak past the Angels. As I am writing this (Sept. 23) the Royals are three full games behind the Angels with only seven games to go.
Baseball will lose one of it’s best performers and gentlemen at the end of this season. Lou Brock will be retiring at close of this season and what a great career he had. He will end up with over 3,000 hits and will become the best base stealer in the history of the game. It’s too bad some of Brock’s class can’t rub off on teammate Gerry Templeton. The young shortstop was not voted to start in the all-star game, so when he was named to the squad he refused to go and sit on the bench. Maybe he will think twice about that decision when he realizes that the proceeds from these games go to the player’s pension fund. Personally, I don’t care if the guy hits .400,1 wouldn’t vote for him anyway.
Remember the first half of the season when the Twin’s Roy Smalley was hitting near the .400 level. Where has he been since then. Roy has been hitting below .200 after the all-star game and believe it or not, his team is still in the thick of the pennant race. Two good reasons for the Twins being near the top are on the mound. They are two veterans by the names of Jerry Koosman and Mike Marshall. Koosman, the ex-Met has won 18 games this
year and Marshall has won 10 and saved an additional 32 games.
Guess who is approaching the 200 hit plateau again this year. None other than Pete Rose. Whoever said Pete would get complacent with his new contract and new team sure didn’t know what they were talking about. The Phillies drop in the standings can not be related to Rose. He needs only four hits to reach 200 and has been near the top in the'batting average race all year long. He’s done all this while learning yet another new position. He is just proving once again that he is one of the best hitters ever to put on a baseball uniform.
The Tampa Bay Bucaneers have started this season with four straight victories. Everybody has to remember the Buc’s terrible start in the NFL with 26 consecutive losses. John McKay has turned that franchise around and now they are gaining respect and confidence every week. Nobody can laugh at the Bucs anymore. This team has come a long way from game one to now. It just goes to show you what a good coach, such as McKay, can do when he knows he won’t get canned because of a couple of bad seasons. Give the Tampa Bay front office a lot of credit for sticking with McKay. I can think of a lot of teams that would have fired McKay before now. And those teams are the perennial losers.
Speaking of losers the Giants got beat again today to make it four in a row. They started the season with yet another new coach and general manager. I believe if the Giants give Ray Perkins and George Young four years to put something together

the fans in something
New York will have to cheer about. It seems like after every losing season the Giants get another new coach. And all that inherits is another incomplete rebuilding job. All you have to do is look around the league and see who the winners are and you will see a coach who has been there for awhile. The best example of this is at Pittsburgh. When Chuck Noll took the Steelers job, they won only two games. But owner Art Rooney did not panic. He gave Noll thetimeto turn the Steelers around and all he did was win three Super Bowls so far.
The Miami Dolphins are back in the thick of things once again in the N.F.L. The most pleasant surprise for Don Shula has to be the running of an old friend of his at fullback, Larry Csonka. Somehow it has to make me think why the Giants couldn’t make Larry a happy man in New York. Csonka didn’t do very much for the Giants, but then again, the Giants didn’t really givehim much of achancetodo very much. Lenny Dawson was quoted as saying if Csonka had played his entire career with the Dolphins, that he would have gone down as the greatest pure fullback to ever play the game of football. I agree.
Until the next issue I will sign off and if you don’t agree to some of my observations, just drop a note at the CRIER office and I will be more than pleased to look at your ideas.
MARY GAIL LEE ON VOLLEYBALL
by Larry French
The Corning Community College Women’s Volleyball team will start their season on September 21 st with a tri-match against St. John Fisher and Elmira. The team is led by coach Mary Gail Lee and she has all the credentials you could ask for in a volleyball coach. Mary played for Cortland State for four years before coming to C.C.C. with her degree in Physical Education. She has other duties besides coaching. Mary is the head official for the E.A.I.A.W. in the Regionals. She is also Volleyball Chairperson for Region Three and is the secretary-treasurer for the New York State Volleyball Organization. The leadership quality seems to be her best suit.
Mary is very optimistic about the upcoming season. She has her tallest team ever and thinks that the nucleus of Kim Hostrander, Kim Orvek and Cassandra Runyon is very strong. These three girls will be in theirsecond season at C.C.C. Mary hopes to get to the 14 victory level this year and they will be going for a fifth straight trip to the Regionals. The girls will also be facing one of the toughest schedules the team has faced in recent years. The
The C.C.C. Cross-country team will begin it’s maiden season this year under the tutelage of coach John Polo. Whenever you begin on a new venture such as starting a new sport, the main thing to hope for is respect from your peers. Coach Polo told me in an interview that the main goal for the cross-country team in it’s first year will be to gain respect from the other schools in the Region. John is looking forward to this season with what will be an inexperienced team with the exception of one performer. That exception is the only sophomore on the current roster, Kelly Bowdy. Kelly will be joined by six freshmen. They include Tim Santillo, Jeff Davis, Joe Williams, Bob Buelow, Bob Foulk, and Paul Welytok.
The season will open on September 22nd with a meet at Williamsport, Pa. The season will include six meets and the team has already run in an ex-ibition match at Delhi. The team did not field a full squad at Delhi but four runners did complete with Tim Santillo making the biggest impression. Tim finished 42nd in a field of over 120 runners. This may not sound like a good finish until you realize that it was Tim’s very first meet. Coach Polo thinks
Tim and the other freshman runners will improve with every meet because of the experience that they will gain. The highlight of Corning’s season will be on Saturday, October 27th when C.C.C. will host the Penn York meet. This will be the last regular season meet to be run before the Regionals. The race will be run in the back of the C.C.C. gym and there will be no admission charge at all. John would like to see everybody come out and support the team.
Coach Polo did express the fact that he would like to see more people out for the team. John said he would welcome anyone with open arms if they wanted to run. Men and women are invited to come down to the gym and talk to John about running for the cross country team. Everyone is welcome. The schedule is as follows: Sept. 22 at Williamsport Sept. 25 at Monroe Sept. 29 at Mohawk Valley Oct. 5 at Cayuga Oct. 13 at Niagara
(Frontier Invitational) Oct. 27 at Corning
(Penn York Meet) Nov. 3 at Cobleskill (REGIONALS)*

main goal for the team will be to finish in the top four in Region Three.
The Woman's Volleyball team at C.C.C. has been very successful during Mary Lee’s reign as coach. Mary has coached here for the past seven years and her teams have been in the Regionals in six of those seven years. Her most successful team was back in 1976 when the Red Barons won twenty while losing onlyfour. In that season the ladies were first in the C.C.C. Invitational; first in the Woman’s Junior College Sports Organization. That team also won the Regionals and earned a trip to the Nationals at El Cajon, California. As Mary stated, "We got clobbered out there, but it was our very first trip out to the nationals and I would like to have another chance." With this years’ goal of being in the top four of the region, maybe with a few breaks this team could go a long way.
Members of this years team are:	Sophomores - Kim
Hostrander, Cassandra Runyon, and Kim Orvek. Freshmen - Susan Cowley, Rhonda Dewitt, Tammy Oliver, Sarah Poole, Barbara Smith, Pat Underhill and Mary Grabinski.
