The CRIER won an appeal to President Frederick’s Cabinet to open the last part of its meeting to questions by the College and local media last Tuesday. At this meeting Cabinet members were queried about several college matters. Tom Beiswen-ger, CRIER Editor, opened the discussion with a question about a matter of $3,000 in college funds spent to subsidize basketball team members. Don Beck, Dean of Students, said that he had no knowledge of such an event. Frederick added that he would see that the budget books and records were checked in an effort to confirm or deny the expenditure. Frederick also suggested that the person responsible for giving the CRIER the information follow up on the matter. Beiswenger also said that he had information that girlfriends of athletic team members were being boarded along with team members at away games. He also said that the college was paying for the extra lodging. Frederick said that these were serious accusations and that he would be concerned “if anv spectators are subsidized.” Beck said that he would take the responsibility of checking into this matter. A report of his findings will go to Frederick. The matter of budget control became the topic of ensuing discussion. The Cabinet was concerned about the fact that out of 102 budget slips subject to student cosignature in the Athletics Department, 92 had been checked by the student in charge. The slips were not signed as dictated by Student Government; instead, they were initialed after Instructor Missing by Doug Hoover Joe Oscsodal enjoyed a ten-ed position at Corning Community College. In May of 1973 he signed his 73-74 contract but in September of ’73 he was not teaching full time at CCC. Why? During the second week of August ’73 Joe Oscsodal met with Robert Chapman, Dean of Instruction, to discuss taking a leave of absence. Oscsodal said he wanted a leave of absence because he wanted to take a job as Director of Alcoholism in the Tri Country Area. This job he felt would be a useful growth and learning experience and would benefit both him and the college when he returned. Oscsodal Given Verbal OK There seems to be quite a bit of misunderstanding of what was said and what was agreed upon between Oscsodal and Chapman. One source said that Oscsodal was told verbally by Chapman that he had his leave of absence and Oscsodal acted upon this statement by taking the job with the County Health Department. Chapman, however, emphasized that he had at no time told Joe that he did have a leave of absence, but rather that it would be considered. Chapman said no decision could have been made right away because, HPER division chairman, Neil Buckley was on sabatical and Bev Beebe, who had to take Buckley’s place, was on vacation. Chapman said, “there was no way Joe could have thought he definitly had a leave of absence.” When asked for a comment on what was agreed ■ iru%n T/\o Ocnc/v/lol urmi1£*s next month. He will serve in the position for the year 1975-76. Professor Mclnroy is a charter member of NYSMATYC and served as chairman of its articulation committee between 1968-72. He was recipient of the 1973 award for outstanding service to this organization. NYSMATYC has anactivemembership of 300 mathematicians and serves over 50 two-year colleges in New York States. The members have been instrumental in initiating a national movement, and the MATYC Journal and NYSMATYC will jointly sponsor the First National Convention for Two Year College Mathematics Educators in New York City in April.

In addition, paintings in the collection are always available at the college library. The librarian said the collection was acquired through a grant from the Corning Glass Works Foundation. The grant was made specifically for developmentofa community art loan program. Reproductions range from the traditional to the abstract. Several old masters are included. Portraits, still lifes, landscapes, and seascapes are available. Included among these paintings are works bu Rembrandt, Van Gogh. Renoir, Picasso, Rodin and many other old and contemporary masters.

Nevertheless, I must say that your criticism of B. P. & U.W. “could easily be summed up in one word: tripe.” I agree with you that they are by no means polished professional performers, but I must ask you to consider these important points: 1. The trio is only a few weeks old, building up a repertoire of songs to work with and just trying out its wings. 2. Admission was free. They didn’t drain our budget several thousand dollars. 3. They weren’t tryingtoknock anyone out, just get in some good time and put out some free music for the students (rare these days). 4. Drumming up a little spirit for the wrestling team was sorely needed. As a matter of fact several fine CCC athletic teams suffered poor attendance last semester. I’ll bet I’m not the only one who saw both performances in the Commons and was amply entertained by each. I think each of them has talent and the potential to make some good foot-stompin’ music. Don’t get me wrong - I’m not one of Mr. Quattrone’s accounting students. I respect your many contributions to the paper and have enjoyed several of your past articles. But I think this time you unjustly lowered the boom. Respectfully, Tim Drake, student Beautiful Made Ugly To the Editor: When I came to school Monday morning the sun was streaming its early morning best. All seemed right and beautiful in the world. Then, I walked past the most beautiful and significant thing on campus and saw that it had been defiled in the most base and juvenile manner. The iron sculpture which was the gracious gift of a real artist has now been decorated by someone less talented. The result is to make a graceful iron sculpture into a lousy hunk of metal and to make an attractive campus look like Shulman’s junk yard. My only hope is that the spray paint is not permanent and that our devoted maintenance men can remove this childish blot on the campus landscape. If not, well, I’ll be leaving this place in May and the only memory I’ll have will be that symbol of a childish mess. Concerned, Paul A. Holloway 461 Reynolds St. Elmira, New York 14904 News in Review Collins Recieves Award (UPI) - An oldster says “Iguess in a way we are still little boys.” U-P-I’s Thomas Ferraro has a report in Baltimore. Lou High adjusted his black cap the other day and climbed aboard a green and yellow streetcar in Baltimore. Then he looked down and grinned: “It took me 70 years but I did it. I’m a Streetcar Motorman Conductor.” High, a 72-year-old retired Government worker, is one of about 50 persons of varying ages bound together by a common love of streetcars. They are the conductors, opera-tors, dispatchers, motormen and rail crew for the Baltimore Streetcar Museum. High finds their interest easy to explain. “I guess in a way we are still little boys,” says High, the motor-man-conductor th e last twoyears on number 264, a 46-seat car restored to its original 1900 condition. It’s the same one that used to run in his neighborhood more than 60 years ago when he lived in Baltimore on Carrey Street. He used to ride it downtown with his parents and think “Someday I’m going to be a pmuliiptnr ’ ’ “Well,” he says now, “I made it and I love it.” The museum, started in 1968, fi v e years after the last run of a Baltimore streetcar, averages 50-thousand riders a year. Volunteers have refurbished the 11 cars ranging from a 19th c e ny u r t horse-drawn model to a modern car built in 1944. Each Sunday the streetcars travel up and down ahalf-mileof track, gongs clanging, dispatchers collecting fares and crying out, “All aboard.” Adults pay 50cents. Children a quarter. Forty-eight-year-old Charles Lloyd, one of the museum founders and a regular motorman-conductor at the cose of World War Two, says that for many elderly persons, the streetcars offer a ride back into their memories. He says that one time an elderly woman in one of his cars started crying, and when he asked her if there was anything wrong, she said no... she was just thinking about the day years ago when her husband proposed to her in a streetcar. Last week the Corning section of the American Chemical Society (ACS) presented an award to Paul M. Collins of Corning Community College. Each year the award is given to the outstanding chemistry students in area colleges. The purpose of the award is to recognize excellence in the study of chemistry and potential leadership in the chemical field on the part of graduating students. The award is a one-year student Membership in ACS and a copy of a chemistry book of the student’s choice. The selection of award winners is made by the chemistry faculties of the colleges involved and is limited to one student from each college. Collins has been a constant Dean’s list student at C.C.C. and will be graduated in June with a major in chemistry. He plans toattend University of Rochester. He is married to Ronnie Booth Collins, an X-ray technician atSt. Joseph’s Hospital, Elmira, and they reside at 210 West Henry St. He is a graduate of Southside High School, and he has served in the Navy. CANCELLATION Personal Growth Workshop April 5, 6, 7 in Commons PERSPECTIVE by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief "Take Sominex George by Tom Beiswenger Today’s TV audiences are fools, or at least that is the way advertisers perceive them. Most TV commercials are an insult to our intelligence. “Take Sominex George,” mama always said and now she’s got her daughter trying to drug her husband to sleep. No place setting is as good as the one where the dishes were washed in “Joy.” People will say “I can see myself in your china.” Who cares? Anyone who would believe in this kind of “down home” advertising is a fool. Trouble is too many people do believe this crap and the advertisers thrive on it. More tragic, is the fact that we have become a pill popping society. Constantly we are bombarded with advertising that tells us to take “Excedrin” one night and the next morning you’ll wake up to a beautiful sunrise out on you $50,000 sailboat, or “take Doan’s Pills” for that nagging back. I’ve often wondered how many people have seriously injured their backs and taken these pills thinking they’ll be cured of their misery. What’s even worse, is that these same companies are complaining about the drug problem and how our young has gone to pot (no pun intended). These people are the real pushers. These are the guys that started the whole thing. We’ve got a pill for everything it seems. I suppose we’ll even have a pill for impotent males someday. And then there are those stupid mouthwash commercials. One even sells itself on the fact that it tastes the worse and another says it tastes the best. The way to judge a mouthwash is by what it does for the palate. Pretty soon we’ll have mouthwash cocktails. Unfortunately this kind of insulting advertising will continue and people will continue to buy it. Pop a pill, gargle with this, wash your dishes with that, buy a car and the chicks come with it, all slogans of the depraved advertising mentality. SNA9IS 9F 61AV The War Goes On by Bill Gray, Managing Editor Hi Kids. They say that the war in Viet Nam is over. I think not. I certainly wouldn’t try to tell a Vietnamese mother with a dead child in her arms that the war is over. Nor would I try to tell twenty three families in the U.S. That’s how many families received the re-amins of their husbands, fathers, or brothers early in March. Nor would I try to tell the families of more than a thousand Americans still listed as Missing in Action. I grew up with Viet Nam. During my teenage years I would check the papers every day, in the vain hope that maybe it would be the day when Viet Nam would not be on the front page. Needless to say it always was. There are no front page headlines today. There is only the question in the minds of the families of the aforementioned thousand. Three hundred and sixty of them are supposedly in South Viet Nam, three hundred and fifty in North Viet Nam, three hundred and twenty-five in Laos, twenty-five in Cambodia and fifty at sea. Are they alive? I don’t know. Neither do their families. But they know. Wherever they are, they know. The Paris ceasefire treaty stated that the Viet Cong would help search for the missing. But they’ve changed their minds. They claim that the U.S. has broken its word and is again assisting the Saigon government in it’s attacks against the Viet Cong. True? Maybe. I don’t think it should much matter. The point is that world powers are once again playing G.I. Joe with real people. I remember seeing everyone line the streets when the first POWS came home. Will we line the streets for the remanining thousand? I don’t know. I do know that there are prisoners of war who could come home tomorrow, if we would let them, these are the prisoners of their own integrity now walking the streets of Canada, the war got them too. Perhaps someday all of the boys will be home. FRANKLY SPEAKING... by phil frar* Thoughts And Feelings Ever wonder what makes Nancy Andrews, Assistant Director of Student Activities, tick? To watch her in action, for just five minutes, is quite an experience. Her office, located in the Commons, seems to be one big bulletin board. The walls are decorated in a “faculty and class schedule” motif, accentuated with campus events posters. Then there’s the “Flint-stone-like” two foot by fourfoot easel pad of paper, where Nancy is marking down a last minute item for today’s Commons Committee agenda. You sense the informality and excellent rapport she has with the students, as they pop in her office with a problem and out, a few minutes later, with a solution. In a nutshell, “students and activities,” the more the better, are what make Nancy tick. Agraduate of CCC herself, Nancy majored in sociology at Nazareth College. She isaJune candidate to receive her master’s degree in Education, from Elmira College. Nancy has served Student Activities for four years and is now Ad- visor to both the Commons Committee and the Nursing Club. Each day is different for Nancy. One morning she might lead discussion in Health-101, which she thoroughly enjoys, because she says, “It gets me directly involved with students in the classroom, and gives me a chance to tune into their thoughts and feelings.”Another morning might find Nancy involved with coordinating “Student Tours,” which provide for individual and group tours of CCC’s campus. In the afternoon, she may work on the “Who’s Who Selection Committee,” which recognizes above-average achievement among students in Junior Colleges. Tomorrow, she may schedule a meeting with t h e supervisors who work in the Commons to get their input on how the Commons can be better run. Nancy is involved with the student Handbook Calendar, as well as the student Commencement Committee. Yet, Nancy is still available to council any clubs on campus, ready to advise them on organizing activities. She sees campus club activities as avaluable learning experience for the student. Nancy commented that when she attended CCC, students joined clubs mainly to meet other people. Today, she feels that students seek activities to learn more about leadership and to become involved in the mainstream of campus events. It is obvious that Nancy Andrews thoroughly enjoys working with the students, and that, they in turn, enjoy working with her. Dogs May Close Food Area The food service in the Commons may be closed unless there is something done about the dogs in the building, according to Steve Lane, State Health Inspector. This warning came as a result of an inspection of the food service facilities by Lane on March 12. The inspection itself resulted from a complaint registered by the Crier concerning the dogs in the eating areas. However, closure is the last report, said Lane. Certain procedures must come first. Of these procedures, an additional inspection is next. That inspection should take place during the week of April 6. According to Lane, because of the seriousness of the situation, the animal problem must be in the process of being solved by that time. If, upon reinspection, he finds that this problem is not being solved, he will issue an order to Don Fronapel, director of college food services to appear at Hornell, N.Y. office of the State Board of Health for an informal hearing on the problem. Fronapel then has two more weeks to effect a working solution to the problem. Lane said that if a solution is not found by that time, Fronapel will be ordered to appear in Rochesterfor a formal public hearing at which the Board of Health will move for closure of the College’s food service. The hearing board will either accept the board’s recommendation or impose a stiff fine, or both, on the college’s food operations. Last Week’s News in Review United Press International The Arab oil countries, except Libya and Syria, ended their oil embargo against the United States and moved to restore production to meet the needs of American consumers. Saudi Arabia pledged an immediate production i n c r e a s e of a million barrels a day for the United States market, which would restore half the current deficit inA-merican imports of Arabian oil. The announcement that most A-rab countries were lifting their embargo against the United States was greeted in Washington with restraint, partly because it had been expected and partly because the official statement said nothing about increases in the production of crude oil. Government and major oil officials continued to be opti mistic that Saudi Arabia, the largest producer, would restore its output to what it was before the start of the Middle East war.

BUCKLEY CALLS FOR RESIGNATION (Washington) - Senator James Buckley of New York, who has stanchly supported President Nixon, became the first conservative republican in Congress to call on the President to resign. Buckley said that the Watergate Case had become “a disorder, a trauma, involving every tissue of the nation.” HUNTLEY DIES (Bozeman, Montana) -Chet Hunt-ley, the former television newscaster, dies at age sixty-two. He had undergone surgery for lung cancer two months ago. NIXON WON’T RESIGN (Houston) - President N ixon declared that he would continue to resist demands for his resignation because it “might be good politics, but it would be bad statesmanship” to yield to his c r i t i c s or to 1 o w standing in public opinion polls. He made the statement at a meeting of the National Association ofBroad-casters and restated his intention to complete his second term. WATERGATE REPORT RULING (Washington) - Chief Judge JohnSi-rica of Federal District Court in Washington ordered that a Grand Jury report and accompanying material bearing on President Nixon’s conduct in the Watergate scandal be turned over to the House Impeachment Inquiry. An appeals court upheld the order later in the week. The order could be appealed to the Supreme Court. Latest On WCEB-FM General Manager David Game of radio station WCEB informed The Crier that Corning Community College’s FM station is within roughly thirty days of going on the air. In a recent interview, Game stated that the results of final testing for the station have been turned over to President Frederick for his signature. Once the form is sent on from Frederick to the FCC, there will be roughly a thirty-day waiting period before final approval is sent. Game informed T h e Crier that, during the thirty-day wait, WCEB personnel will be carrying out final processes so that the station is ready. The line to the transmitter remains to be tested, and WCEB is waiting for Buildings and Grounds to dig a hole for the telephone pole upon which the antenna will be positioned. They are also awaiting two pieces of the antenna which we r e mistakenly not sent with the rest. In addition to the above, the WCEB program format, an advance copy of which appears in The Crier, will be up for approval by the Board of Trustees acting through Student Life. In roughly one month, then, CCC should see the results of the long, uphill struggle to bring radio station WCEB-FM into being.

(UPI) - In education today...A report on the nation’s gifted children and what’s being donetoutilize their intelligence. By U-P-I’sH.J. Heller. A talented youngs ter inancient China had a fair chance of rising to the top of the economic and social structure. Distinguished scholars went on to achieve national fame. Ability rather than family background determined their position in the governmental hierarchy. But, some two thousand years later in the United States, gifted children face formidable obstacles hindering their upward mobility.

Coffee House Review Last Weeks by Julie Garfunkel Manna, a Christian-rock band from Houghton College “did His thing” at the coffeehouse on Friday March 22. Despite numerous technical difficulties, they managed to put together some good sounds and were well received by their small audience. The five-member band has been together only since last September, although their playing gives no indication of this. “Manna” consists of two guitarists, a bass player, a drummer and a pianist. They do a lot of nice vocal harmonizing although the voices of the three male singers are no match for that of the female pianist/lead vocalist. She really has a fine voice and provided the most pleasant listening of the afternoon. They opened the first set with an enthusiastic rendition of “Glory, Glory,” followed by “Diamond Girl,” Seals and Crofts’ hit of last year. The rest of the set included some good original material, mostly Christian-oriented, another Seals and Crofts number and a ten-minute jam. “Summer Breeze,” another Seals and Crofts tune, opened the second set. The group did more original songs, a good version of “Day by Day,” “Draft Dodger Rag.” which sounded dated at best, since the draft no longer is presenting a problem to the youth of America. By this time the audience had dwindled to a rather sparse group, making it difficult for the musicians to maintain the enthusiasm they had shown earlierin the afternoon. It’s a shame that more people weren’t there to hear them since with a fair exchange of energy they probably would have been really good. News (UPI) - A thief in Santiago, Chile, may have been just a bit too dressed up for his own good. He grabbed a briefcase containing nea rly six-thousand dollars from a construction firm employee who had just left a bank...and fled dwon the street. But he was clattering on his six-inch-high heel shoes...tripped on the fashionable footgear...a nd fell. Passerbys held him for police. (UPI) - Scientists in Southeast F ranee have found what they believe may be dinosaur eggs. Last August two villagers opened a restaurant. and workmen digging a gas main found a nest of stone-like, egg-shaped objects. The “eggs” each weigh an average of 15 pounds and measure seven to nine inches in length. Natural History experts said dinosaurs are believed to have raged through mountains in the area...and theobjects could conceivably be fossilized e gg s. P e r-haps worried a bout his new business...one of the restaurantowners said...“We don’t plan to make omelettes out of them.” (UPI) - It cost the Reverend Robert Harris the equivalent of about 100 gallons of gasoline to protest high fuel prices. Harris, Pastorof an Ogden, Utah, Church parked his car in the middle of a busy intersection Tuesday and lay down in the street to protest increasing gasoline prices.

I. I Never Sang For My Father II. The Last Movie by Bill Gray Death ends a life...butitdoesnot end a relationship...These are the opening lines of a sad depressing, beautiful film. Sad, because it makes you realize what we in America do with our aged, depressing because you begin to see how unalterable life is; and frightening because you know you will someday be playing the lead roles. ‘I Never Sang For My Father’is beautiful for a number of reasons. It is the story of Gene Garrison, a writer, and his Father, who always wanted his son to be a businessman. Gene is 40, recently widowed, and in love with a doctor from California. His Father tells him point-blank his feelings about this when he says, “you know, ifyougoto California, it’ll kill your mother.” Gene tells his Mother he is leaving, and a few days later she dies. The remainder of the film concerns itself with Gene’s and his sister’sef-forts to takes care of their Father. Gene Hackman is brilliant as the son who drinks milk in his Father’s kitchen, and whiskey in his own. Hackman is an actor, rather than a star. Had the part been given to Paul Newman, you would have seen Paul Newman on the screen. As it was you saw Gene Garrison, right down to the facial expressions. Melvin Douglas is also exceptional as the 82 year old man, slipping rapidly into senility. He is not a character in a film, he is a real person. Every one of us has feared that we would someday become him. The film has also been cited as one of the few films to portray three dimensional women. This point is aptlyprovenbyGene’ssis-ter Alice, played by Estelle Parsons. At last, a woman who does more than sniffle and knit and turns out to be stronger than she looks. Alice’s Father has banished her for marrying a Jew, and she hates him for it. Gene hated him too, but for another reason. Since he was a boy, his Father has told him the same story. How his Father deserted him when he was eight, and how his Mother died when he was ten. And how he pushed his own Father from his Mother’s funeral carriage. And how, when his Father was dyingand asked for some fruit, he sent him only half a dozen oranges because, as he says “I knew he’d be dead by morning anyway.” Gene doesn’t want to leave his Father with half a dozen oranges. He wants to love him. Unfortunately, nothing worthy of his love ever appears. The film was adapted from a broadway play by Robert Anderson. He did both the play and the screenplay. The film manages to avoid the trademark of most films taken from plays: Stoggness. This is due to exceptional camera work. Credit must also go to Gilbert Gates, who produced and directed the film. The film is beautifully shot. Gene’s visit to the state hospital is something you won’t soon forget. The God-I-gotta-get-out-of-here effect is heightened by the presence of unpleasant electronic noise, which grows increasingly louder as Gene progresses down the corridor. Roy Clark (Hee-Haw) also does a song near the beginning of the film. The film is one which doesn’t quickly leave your mind. But then, it probably shouldn’t. Somewhere in the film ‘The Last Movie’ is the humble admonition‘A Film by Dennis Hopper’. I wonder if he signs his garbage before he puts it in the trash barrel. I waited for the film to begin for twenty minutes after the first image hit the screen. Finally I gave up. Summarizing the plot is a very sinple job; there was none. Well wait, that’s not exactly true. There was this incident where some ignorant Mexicans were playing movie, only they didn’t realize that movie people don’t use real bullits, so they shot Kansas. Kansas was one of Hopper’s names in the film. The others were Texas and Billy. Hopper obviously has no morals. In this film, children of about age seven or eight are paraded in front of a couple fornicating in a waterfall. Also a girl of about fourteen, a Mexican, (Hopper seems to especially dislike Mexicans), is shown in a lesbian love scene. Some viewers might call this art, the word I use has one more letter. But there were a couple of really breathtaking shots of the Mexican landscape. And the music, by Kris Kristofferson, was nice to listen to. It just seems to me that people like Hopper, Peter Fonda, Kris Kristofferson, Michelle Phillips, Silvia Miles and Chris Mitchum could find something better to do with their time. Artist of the Week: CREATION by Todd Everett, Courtesy of WCEB-FM The first thing that strikes someone talking to the members of Creation is their straight-ahead attitude toward their music. “We’ve all been involved with different types of bands over the years,” explains Lenny Lee Goldsmith, “and the experience has helped give us our own direction.” “When we formed Creation, we played for five months in clubs a-round Los-Angeles-real holes. It was unusual in that we played all original material and could satisfy a club audience, so I suppose you could say that we were doing well.” “But,” continues ba s s i s t Jimmie Calhoun, “we just decided that we didn’t want to play to club audiences anymore. It had gotten to where we were stretching tunes that should only have been a couple of minutes long, just because we didn’t have enough material to fill a four-hour show. We weregetting much too loose.” “So we stopped, and began wood-shedding. We trimmed thefataway from our tunes, and got them to the point where the longest cut on album is under four minutes.” Lenny sums it up: “We want to treat every song as if it were a single,” Creation’s members had their share of experience before coming together in their present form. Lenny was a founding member of the highly successful hard-rockers, Sweathog. Jimmie has worked and recorded with Dr. John. Leon Patillo and Neil Stallings and played with the Pointer Sisters and Sly Stone (“back when Sly was still playing guitar. Leon played keyboards.”) Neil’s sister Carol was with the Eighth Day, a Detroit-based group produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland for their Invictus label. Travis Fullerton (who re-placed original drummer Barry Frost) has toured with Rita Cool -idge and was a member of Sylvester’s Hot Band. All of which has much to do with experience, but none of which has to do with how Creation came together. “Jimmie, Gerry Peterson and I grew up together in San Jose, California,” explains Lenny. “Carol, Billy, Leon and Neil grew up together in San Francisco. “Jimmie and I were living together in Los Angles, but drove up North one day to see some friends. One of Jimmie’s friends was Leon, whom he’d known from church. We all met and started jamming; everybody was really excited by the music, and so we got the band together.” Members of Creation all play several instruments, adding greatly to the range of textures available to them. Lenny and Leon do the majority of Creation’s writing. Asked about their musical direction, members of Creation refuse to pigeonhole themselves. “We’re not a soul band, even though four of us are black. We’re not a glitter band, either. We’d like to appeal to as wide an audienceaspossible. When people ask us what kind of music we play, we just tell them, ‘popular,’ At least, we hope it’s popular!” Although they currently picture themselves most at home on bills with acts ranging from Stevie Wonder to Traffic and such “heavy metal” bands as Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Creation are aiming toward being the only act at their concerts. Creation’s first album was produced by Jimmie Calhoun and Jimmy Douglas. All songs are original compositions by members of the band. Having A Birthday Party , Shower, Or Any Other Special Occasion?

THE CRIER April 1,1974 PAGE 5 THE CRIER April 1.1974 PAGE6 MM! g’f»!38> Carrington Named To Region III Area Hoopters To Go All - Star Squad To Australia by Vinnie Nykie Even after Corning Community College basketball team hung up their sneakers for the 1973-74 season, accolades still role in for this team, the best in CCC’s history. Coach Wayne Kenner learned that Keith Carrington had been named to the All-Star team about two weeks ago. Carrington averaging over twenty-two points and sixteen rebounds per game, is the first player from the Spencer Hill Campus to get this award. Carrington was named to the team along with Pat Lewis and George Pendleton of Niagara Community College, Lee Strubeckof Broome Tech., and Don Woodward -W'Lifting Contest To Be Held The Powerlifting Club will host a Bench and Curl Contest on Wednesday, April 3 in the Gym. Anyone interested in participating may pick up an application in the Gym at the red intramural box. No fee is required and any CCC student is eligible for the five weight classes. They are: to-132, 1 3 3 148, 149-165, 166-181, 182-heavyweight. Weigh-in will be promptly at 12:00 Noon with lifting to start immediately after. Each score will be the total of the two lifts divided by the bodyweight. Each lifter has three attempts to complete or increase each event. Each lifter will be informed of the rules during weigh in. Golf To Start The CCC golf team under the coaching of Jerry Galloway and Hank Bennett and the teaching of Sherman (Dutch) Craumer are looking towards their rookies for their season starting April 23rd. The team is in a process of re-building because of the loss of three top golfers. Gregg Coon was lost to Eisenhower College during midterm. Mickey Carey turned professional to make money from his ability, and Frank Sorge left school. The only top man back from last semester is Rocky Saia who shoots around 80. Galloway really doesn’t know what to anticipate. “Interest is down. We need more people for competition. This is a very competitive sport.” This semester there are two subregional and five regional competitions which consistof 18 teams. “It will be tough to equal last year’s record, but the biggest problem that we face is the weather.” Last year’s schedule was abbreviated because of the weather. Their record was three wins and two losses. The coaches plan on having Rocky Saia and Jeff Barnes seeing a lot of competition, and they are hoping for some good freshmen to fill in the gaps left by the men that left. Next year the golf schedule will consist of all-spring matches. The weather is too rough in the fall and people don’t expect to see much of Jefferson Community College. Nicknamed “Mace” by CCC most able man at the microphone, Scoopie, whom the Corning basketball fans depended on during the game, Carrington was a member of Ithaca High championship team last season. Carrington was also named to the Southern Tier Athletic Conference first-team All-Star team his junior and senior years in high school. He set many records in his first year at theSpencer Hill campus, among them the single season rebound record at four hundred and ten, best field goal percentage at just under fifty-eight per cent, and best field goal percentage in one game, ten or twelve against Community College of the Finger Lakes. He is majoring in physical education and hopes tobecome a coach, or even play pro ball if the opportunity presented itself. Carrington has one more year left at Corning, and Coach Kenner has new plans for him next year, but says he’ll deal with them when next season rolls around. Carrington is seriously giving consideration to transferring to Syracuse University when he graduates from CCC in 1975, a move that will delightthestaff there if he does. Grad Makes Good Emad Fadoul, the “Lebanese Lasher” of the Notre Dame High School and Corning Communtiy College wrestling teams has made his mark at Buffalo University by winning the N.Y.S. Invitational Collegiate Tourney at 177 pounds. Fadoul compiled a 16 and 2 win-loss record at Notre Dame High in his senior year before coming to Corning. He also won the Catholic State championship in 1971. As a Corning grappler, he compiled an excellent dual meet record, but in tourney wrestling he could not break the second place complex. He placed second in regional competition for two years. He finally broke the barrier in the N.Y.S. Invitational Collegiate tourney in which 24 teams were competing. Buffalo dominated the tourney with 8 men in the finals out of 10 classes. Six of Buffalo’s grapplers fared as well as Fadoul. In winning a place on the Buffalo team, Fadoul had to defeat the place man in the NJCAA Tourney two years ago. Greg Hamilton was also considered a prime contender for national recognition this year, that is until he ran into the “Lasher.” Fadoul is considered by all his coaches to be an extremely hardworking, talented, and dedicated athelete. In 1973 he was co-receiver of the outstanding youth presentation in our region. Tennis Opens Spring Season From May 8 to June 1,12 members of the Elmira College Basketball team will play and conduct clinics in Australia and New Zealand along with Coach Jack Casey, Sports Director Paul Brand, and Assistant Basketball coach Dan Minch. They will be playing college and club teams and teaching basketball clinics for junior and senior high school players. In addition, each Elmira player will be researching an independent study project dealing with some aspect of Australia or Australian life. The trip occurs during the last half of Elmira College’s spring term. During this time, Elmira College students normally earn four academic credits for independent study, field experience, special projects, and foreign study tours. These are learning experiences not normally possible during formal classroom work, and are indivually designed by students under the supervision of faculty members. Players Going Some players from Elmira area going are: Tom Wayne, a guard, a freshman, who plays and plans to do a project dealing with the clinics conducted by the team; John Biggs, a center, a freshman socialogy major, who plans to do a project dealing with comparing family life and culture in Australia and the U.S.; Don Sheldon, a guard, a sophomore, who plans to do a project on Australian law and court system; Dave O’Connell, a guard, a sophomore majoring in psychology and physical Ed., and who plans to do a project dealing surveying physical education in Australia. Preparation Workshops Prior to leaving for the “land down under” team members will participate in an intensive series of seminars and workshops, led by Dr. Francis X. Brady, associate professor of education, on teaching and coaching techniques. In addition, the team will receive formal and informal classroom instruction on Australian culture, geography and people. A state department official has agreed to advise players on handling questions about the United States, such as political or social situations. An Elmira College student who spent a year in Australia, will help familiarize team members with Australian customs and expressions. Before the trip each team member will spend three weeks in preliminary research on his independent study project. Each project will be planned, completed and evaluated under the guidance of a faculty member. Intineraries Released Late March While on tour players will be housed with Australian familes. An exact itinerary, including cities to be visited and teams to be played, is expected to be available in late March from the Australian Basketball Federation. The federation normally invites three college or university teams each year. Usually, the teams are major U.S. collegiate basketball powers. By inviting Elmira’s team, the federation hopes to gain insight into how a small college such as Elmira successfully combines athletics and education, and assess the potential of small college basketball. The tennis team with its rookie coach Wayne Barton is very optimistic for this season. The returners consist of: Doug Hoover, who was only beaten twice last year and went as far as the quarter finals in the regionals. He was also picked first team all region. Mark Warden is also an outstanding returner. Mark and Doug combined last year to go to the region doubles, but Mark sprained his ankle and they had to forfeit the rest of the matches. Quite improved from last year are Marvelous Marve Donnelyand Bruce Barney and are hoping for a lot this year from them. The coach also has big hopes for Peter Case, Jim Yorio, and Brian Anderson. Tennis, like golf, next year will have an all-springschedule because of weather. This brings quite a few schedule problems because every match played is away. Barton said. “We have all away matches because we don’t have enough courts orany windbreakers.” The men on the team are hurt because of this. They have a hard time moving for every match. Barton also said, “This fall the men were awed by the tennis facilities in Broome Community College and Alfred Tech.” It seems to him that the tennis team is getting that something s h o u 1 d be done a-bout it.
