Vol. 15 No. 1, Thursday, August 29,1974 Corning Community College TIME OUT. Tom Bentsen, engineer for WCEB-FM takes a break from his work putting up the station’s antenna under run off water from the college’s water tower. According to Ray Johnson, director of buildings and grounds, the run off valve only operates when the pumps overfill the huge reservoir. He noted that it is unusual for this valve to operate, as the pumps usually shut off when the tank is full. In any event, the water was beautiful, Bentsen said, and both he and Tom Beiswenger,* who was helping him with the antenna work, took showers under the clean well water run off. It’s A Fight for Survival Often going to college can be compared to a trip through the desert; it’s a fight for survival. As in any survival course, there are a few steps given by the leaders on how to survive. Corning Gommunity College is no exception; and surviving here is usually not hard, administrators and “seasoned” students have noted. Probably foremost in students’ minds is money, how to get it and where. The Financial Aid Counselor is Jim Allan. His office is located on the second floor of the Administration Building in the Student Personnel Office. Allan administers all financial aid. Some of the programs most often handled by him are: CCC scholarships Tuition Assistance Program (TAP, formerly Scholar Incentive), Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG), Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants (SEOG), federally subsidized loans and CCC loans. To be eligible for most of these financial aid programs, one must be able to prove financial need. Usually this need is determined by evaluations made from the Parent’s Confidential Statement or the Student Confidential Statement; both applications can be obtained through the Financial Aid Office. Allan also administers the Federal work-study program at CCC. This program helps stu- dents who show financial need meet college expenses by providing them with jobs on campus and off. Wages for jobs in this program range from $1.75 per hour to $3.00. Allan s office is open daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for more information, call 962-9263. Financial aid to veterans is first handled by the Veteran’s Counselor, Don Oakley. Oakley’s office is located in the Administration Building, 2nd floor. He will be in this office Tuesdays and Thursdays. Oakley also nandles other veterans affairs, ranging from draft registration (which 11 students musty do even though the Selective Service Law no longer exists) to vet's counseling. He can be reached on campus at 962-9332. Housing has always been a problem for students; either they aren’t able to find any, or what they do fincf isn't fit to live in. Meta Spiegler is a community member interested in the problems that students face regarding housing. As Housing Counselor, she will handle complaints students have with their accommodations or their landlord. Her office is located on the second floor of the Administration Building. The Housing Office's hours are 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. She can be reached on campus at 962-9264. There are also health services available to students who may need them. Ruth Marquardt, the health nurse, is^in the gym (rear entrance) on the ground floor. Mrs. Marquardt handles first aid and referrals to Family Planning and to the College doctor’s office. Her office is open daily from 8:30 a.m. -3:30 p.m., and she can be reached at 962-9257. Doctor Lapp is the College physician and will treat students free ^during student offfice hours Monday, Tues^ day, Wednesday, and Fridays 8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. The Health Office also will administer pregnancy, mononucleosis, hearing, and eye tests to students who wish them, free of charge. The health fee students pay when they register covers these services. In emergencies, students can get treatment at the Corning Hospital Emergency Room on Denison Parkway and East First Street. However, there is a $10 fee for the hospital, plus materials and medications used. Another survival measure demanded by College officials is insurance; all students must have it. The College provides a comprehensive health insurance, but students who either have tfyeir own insurance or are covered Continued on Page 6 Athletics Budget Cut - Others Approved The athletics budget is much smaller this year because of events which took place this summer. The budget presently stands at $22,600, $5,400 less than the program got last year and $10,000 less than the total approved by Student Life towards the close of the 1973-74 academic year. According to College officials, the $10,000 cut stems from personnel problems in the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation (HPER) Division. Neil Bulkley, who was on sabbatical throughout last year, refused to come back to Corning as Athletic Director. Bulkley thought that because he was within just a few hours of receiving his doctorate in education, he should have been offered the division chairman's position. Instead, he was offered Athletic Director, a position he held before going on sabbatic. However, Bulkley did not get the position he wanted and followed through with his ultima- tum, that either he gets the chairmanship or he will isign on a full-time faculty only, to the College. With Bulkley refusing to take his assignment as Athletic Director, the College was forced to hire him back as an instructor. This left the sports mentor’s position open with nobody else in the division willing to take the position. HPER wanted to hire another person to take the directorship, but a-gain they ran into problems; the College operating budget which funds the division wasn't largfe enough. Consequently, division members resolved that in order to have an athletic director, the person’s salary would have to be taken from the athletics budget. The division hired Wayne Barton, a one-year instructor from last year who was hired to fill the vacancy left by Bulkley when he went on sabbatical. Barton receives a salary of $10,000 for his work as Athletic Director and re- ceives an extra stipend from the College for the number of course hours he may be contracted to teach. According to surveys of other colleges, this is the usual way an athletic director is paid; but most of these schools have larger activities budgets. For stories on how this move will affect athletics programs this year, turn to page 8. In other action on the activities budget, Student Life approved In-ter-Club Council’s budget request of $10,250. This amount represents -a substancial decrease over last year’s budget of$16,150. Many persons on the Student Life Committee felt that the flop of the spring concert contribu-. ted to the large cht. Other reasons cited were hasty and unnecessary spending and failure to keep a tighter control on club monies. In relation to these complaints, Student Life passed a resolution which allows clubs to receive a $100 budget; but it stipulates that the money can only be used to generate more capital. The resolution suggested that clubs participate in the Wine Festival or a club fair. Another motion concerning the ICC budget concerned $4,000 in the approved budget allocated for general activities. As passed, the measure requires that the money be used only for College-wide events, daytime programming, and entertainment projects requiring little or no admission. Student Life also approved the Crier’s budget for $10,535. This figure represents an increase over last year’s budget of $9,000. Crier business staff asked for the increase because printing costs had gone up and would continue to go up throughout the year because of increased paper costs and increased ink costs. They noted that ink is a petroleum-base product. The radio station (WCEB), which went on the air for a short period last year, asked for $4,559, but received $3,033. The main reason for the cut concerned WCEB’s request for United Press International news service, both audio and teletype. Student Life felt, by a 7 to 4 margin, that the radio station did not need this service to provide a good newscast. Station officials disagreed and argued at length over this point, but lost. Instead, Student Life members encouraged the station leadership to look for additional funds from other sources. Student Life also approved the Day Care Center budget for $1,000. The center provides babysitting service at a minimal cost to faculty, staff, and student parents who either work or attend Corning. The future of the center is in doubt however, and the final decision on funding was left to Dr. Robert Frederick, College President. Frederick in turn approved all Student Life budget recommendations without change. Continued on Page 5 THE CRIER, THURSDA Y. A UGUST29, 1974 Our Side: A Degree Isn’t Everything The job market is tight, and as the nation’s economy becomes more strained as highly respected government and private economists are predicting, it will get tighter. Consequently, with employment harder and harder to find, it will take more than good marks and a col-^ lege degee to secure a job. What the job hunter needs today, is something extra that tells a prospective employer that this person is something special, someone worth hiring. A student’s involvement in extra-curricular activities, especially on a student newspaper, might just be that something extra needed to put him over the top. We here at Corning, not only have a student newspaper, but we have a good one; the winner of 10 press awards from St. Bonaventure’s school of journalism last year. A student newspaper is training for future employment because - it is not really an extra-curricular activity, it is a business, which in order to survive, must be profitable. To make this business go, takes not just good writers, but people who can run the business of the paper; marketing majors, accounting majors, business administration majors, liberals arts majors, math-science majors, and many more. When an employer sees that a student worked on his student paper, he sees that the person in front of him is not afraid to work and is knowled- geable in this field. The Crier, this year, offers the student to become involved in something that is going places, for this year’s paper is bound to be better than last year’s because we liave learned from our mistakes. We also have help from newspaper people downtown, both in the Leader and the Star-Gazette. For those who want to be part of the leadership of the paper, there are editor’s positions still open. Because these positions require that the person spend more time than a regular staffer, they carry with them moderate salaries. The editorships still a-vailable are: Business Manager, Photography Editor and Copy Editor. The business manager receives a $175 per semester salary, the photography editor $150, and the copy editor, $125. If you are interested in any of these positions or in a job as a reporter or staffer, stop in our office in trailer four, in back of the Commons, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. daily. If you can’t make those times or find that the office is closed, see Linda Spac-cio in the Activities Office in the Commons or call 962-9339. If you’re looking for glamour, don’t be fooled, working op the Crier is tough and it requires a special brand of person to be competent in the student media, probably why many employers feel it means something on a prospective employee’s resume. SSia®IS 9«OT by Bill Gray Fords First Blunder Hi kids. It’s a sad thing to see your hopes shatter a-round you. When former President Nixon resigned, I began, for the first time in a long while, to have some hope for the country. Nixon chose a nice, clean way out, with no messy trial, mud-slinging, or impeachment. Nothing left behind but an empty seat and Gerald Ford. I knew nothing of Gerald Forcl. For all I knew, he might have turned out to be the best president America ever had. My hopes were high. Then when one of his first official acts was to support a policy of “earned amnesty’’ for draft evaders, my hopes soared. Then he nominated Nelson Rockefeller ‘ior vice president and nijr hopes fell like a house of cards. Imagine naming Rockefeller to the second highest political position in the nation. Has it really been that long since the Attica uprising? Doesn’t Ford remember how Rockefeller ordered the murder of confused prisoners and innocent hostages? The final decision was his. He could have at least tried talking with the prisoners. Instead, he ordered the prison stormed in a senseless slaughter. And what of Rocky’s other accomplishments? How many kids will spend the rest of their lives in prison for making one mistake, while the Mafioso involved in the same drug traffic go free? And then there’s Rock’s other prison. The one caljed methadone. Rockefeller has put every junkie he can get his hands on, on methadone, and tried to convince everyone that he’s done the right thing by doing so. Horsefeathers. A junkie can quit heroin. He’ll be sick for Continued on Page 7 PERSPECTIVE by Tom Beis Author’s note: During this summer, I worked as the associate editor of a small weekly newspaper in Watkins Glen. During that time, it was my duty to oversee and write all copy appearing in it. On August 8, I was told by my editor to write an editorial on Nixon’s resignation and Gerald Ford’s subsequent accession to the vacated position. That day was a grave day in the history of this country. Now that some time has passed since these events, I thought that it would be good for us all to reflect back on those days. The following editorial was written to this end. At 9:04 EDT Thursday night, August 8, 1974, the nation heard one of the most stunning and historic presidential messages it will probably ever hear. The 37th President of the United States of America, Richard M. Nixon, announced that he would resign the office of the presidency at noon the next day. On Friday, August 9. ?nger, Editor in Chief The Nightmares Over at 12 noon EDT, the effective hour of the President’s resignation, the Vice President, Gerald Rr^Ford, took the presidential oath of office. It was that quick, that smooth casting proof that the laws upon which this nation was founded do, in fact, work; the long, agonizingly painful era called “Watergate” had ground to a halt. The country breathed a sigh of relief. Richard Nixon, now a private citifcen, said in his resignation speech that he had “lost his base on Congress.” But the simple reality of the situation, as pointed out to Nixon by GOP Congressional leaders who he had come to respect, was that unless he resigned, the Congress would no doubt impeach and ultimately convict him in a trial that would probably wear on for the rest of this year and cause untold damage to the presidency and the nation as a whole. President Ford now leads the nation; and there is probably no man alive who does not hope that he can bring unity back to an Ameri- ca which has been deeply divided since the late former President Lyndon B. Johnson escalated the Vietnam War. Unlike Nixon, President Ford was not elected; instead, he acceded to the Vice Presidency when former Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned his office in disgrace. But we are sure that the new president is an honest one, for never has any man gone through such exhaustive scrutiny as he did when Nixon nominated him for the second highest office in the land. The new president also has the strong backing of Congress and the press, the two groups with which Nixon was constantly at odds during his one and a half terms as president. These, plus the fact that Henry Kissinger has also agreed to stay on with the Ford Administration as Secretary of State, are President Ford’s greatest assets. We cannot help but be saddened by the events that have led to this; but it was, no doubt, best for the nation. By Doug Hoover, Managing Editor To the Entering Student If you are able to read this, I assume you are also intelligent enough to have found your classes. If you haven’t found them or can’t read, don’t worry. Neither is an important factor in determining your success as a college student. Don’t despair, even if the situation seems impossible. There usually is a simple solution. Last year I knew a female student who told me she was having difficulty getting to all of her classes. Looking at her schedule, I noticed that one problem was she had quite a ways to travel. He math class met downtown at the off-campus center on the corner of Fifth and Chemung Sts., her bowling class at the bowling alley, astronomy class at the observatory, and her English class in the Nursing Building. Distance certainly was one problem; but looking closely at her schedule, I saw an even larger problem; all of her classes were scheduled for the same time -9:00 a.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday. She couldn’t understand why this would make a difference, so she quit CCC and got a job working for a computer center (coincidentally the very one which puts together schedles for students at CCC). ****** Next week most of ,you .will start buying books. ' The College Bookstore, located in the basement o( the Classroom Building, is stocked and waiting for the yearly race to get books and supplies. Be prepared to shell out more of your hard-earned bread than ever before. Books have not been exempt from our spiraling inflation. Most books have risen close to 10% over last year. ****** Some good news - faculty teaching most major courses have gotten together and agreed to use the same text instead of many. An example of this is the Psychology Department. The Ps 101 instructors have agreed to use a new text agreeable to all. The new text retails at $11.95.

Another completely new addition to the editorial board is Bob Kelley, a business professor, who will serve as the paper’s business consultant. In appointing Kelley to the position, the editors decided to eliminate the publisher's position, which was usually held by an English instructor. The editors felt that the paper needed a business advisor more than a writing advisor, and they have good contacts in both local daily papers, the Elmira Star-Gazette and the Corning Leader. These contacts have volunteered their time to help Crier reporters and writers in any way that they may be needed. Kelley is married and has five children, one of whom will be attending Corning as a freshman this year. His wife, Linda, is a language teacher in one of the local junior high schools. of industrial control, timers, and servo-mechanisms. 4 cr. hrs. Pre-req: ET 112.

Students Find Something Missing Students entering Corning Community College for the first time found that there was something missing this year. There was no orientation program; instead, planners have dubbed the new and revamped orientation-type program "Start-Up ‘74”. The program, according to planners A1 Paparelli, Director of Activities; Don Beck, Dean of Students; Jack Kelley, Director of Student Services; and students Lisa Haines and Melanie Nowicki, centered more on the students. Before, the program concerned itself more with getting students acquainted with the services available to them. This year the emphasis was on what happens to them while they are here and how it relates to future life, not just to the job market. In commenting on orientations of the past, Ms. Haines noted that the programs “didn’t really deal with what they are actually doing here or what they intended to get out of it or what it really is.” What wasn't done in past years, they did do this year, she said. A big change of the program was the fact that the program was more precise; students knew what happened where and when in advance of the first day. The students were also greeted by two guest speakers who didn’t speak as guest speakers; rather, they became part of the program. This wasn't surprising as Rod Serling of TV’s “Twilight Zone” and “Night Gallery” fame and Richard Curwin from SUNY at Geneseo, noted for his work in values clarification, worked in advance with the planners in formulating their speaking topics. What resulted was a program using Serling as the catalyst and Curwin as the "thread person,” Ms. Nowicki said. To get this far took a lot of effort by a few people, and one of the initial problems the planners encumbered was the two-day schedule forced upon them last year by the Educational Policies Committee. The two-day idea is in its second year; it started with the spring ‘74 Start-Up program. It didn't work then, and the planners feared that it wouldn’t work this year either. But, according to Ms. Haines, the students decided to try to work with the format and came up with a schedule involving classes in the morning on the first day followed by a social at night, with the Start-Up program continuing the next morning culminating with classes in the afternoon on the second day. Consequently, the program began with classes and ended with classes. The design here was to give students the necessary exposure and enable them to tie the program in with their classes and college as a whole, she said. However, that optimism wasn’t easy to come by, Ms. Nowicki remarked. The students and some faculty on the planning committee argued at length over the handicaps the two-day format would place on the Start-Up program. Many thought that all that would be accomplished would be to fill the incoming students’ head with information. In reflecting on this type of an orientation, Ms. Nowicki, originally from Buffalo, noted that Spring Start-Up “totally confused me.. I felt like they wanted me to be a robot.. Nothing tied in." Ms. Haines, one of the planners of the Start-Up program, conceded that "it was kind of disjointed.” She gave as her reason the fact that the students had more say in this year’s Start-Up program, whereas last year the faculty planners had the program all set up without getting opinions from the students who were supposed to put it on. Cope The Crier will start the ‘74-75 publication year with something less than a full editorial staff. However, editor Tom Beiswenger, who begins his second year at the helm, is confident that the vacant positions can be filled soon. Beiswenger is 20, and is enrolled in the business administration program; but noted that he plans to go into journalism and will transfer to St. Bonaventure in January. He will continue his journalism studies there. Beiswenger is a Coming resident and comes here from Coming East High School. This is his fifth semester at Corning. The other holdover from last year is Sandy Carpenter, who will serve as layout Editor, a position she’s held since January. Ms. Carpenter is 23, and a veteran of the Navy. She is here at Corning in the Human Services Program and will be doing her prac-ticum this semester with the Elmira Social Services Department. Newly appointed to the managing editor’s position is Doug Hoover, a 19-year-old sopho- New Cont.

This statement is based on an audit of the College budget made last year at the request of the State. According to the auditors, students should be paying 30 per cent of the College’s operating budget, coupled with a 40 per cent contribution by the State and another 30 percent from the College's sponsor, the Corning City School District, and chargebacks made to other counties from which students come. more from West High School in Painted Post. Hoover is a math-science major and plans to go into psychiatry or medicine following receipt of his B.S. degree. He also served as a reporter for the Crier last year and says he would like to work part-time in a newspaper someday. Hoover replaces Bill Gray, last year’s managing editor. Gray is still a student here and still writes his weekly column “Shades of Gray” for the Crier. He did not feel that he could continue as managing editor this year because of a heavy course load. Working in the sports editor’s position this yearns Joe Mirando. He is 19, and a sophomore liberal arts student here. Mirando cites journalism as his career objective, and hopes to transfer to St. Bonaventure upon completion of his studies in May. He worked as a sports writer for the Crier last year and also works the night sports desk at the Star-Gazette. Mirando replaces Frank Chalk, who was sports editor last year. Chalk is now attending Elmira College where he is studying to be an which successful personal selling is based.

The reason for this is because “we (the College) haven’t been able to fully meet their guidelines, and many never,” he said. It is not because CCC is a second-rate institution, but because the guidelines are the same for all community colleges in the state. Different colleges can meet a different set of goals, depending upon their physical capabilities, he said. The tuition hike reflects the College’s response to higher costs and an attempt to make the student pay a larger portion of the costs. This many not really cost the student that much more in reality, Frank commented. Before the decision was made to increase tuition, College officials knew that the financial aid available to students was going up this year; so, it was felt that students would be better able to afford a tuition hike. College officials decided on a $75 tuition hike. This is the second hike in as many years. Continued on Page 4 A special course is being offered on campus this semester. The course, OR 101, is designed to help new students cope with the difficulties and complexities of college life.

THURSDA Y. A UGUST29. 1974 THE CRIER, THURSDA Y. A UGUST29. 1974 Tt* Budget Problems Plaquing WCEB This Semester WCEB, the College’s student owned and operated FM radio station, will begin broadcasting for the ‘74-75 school year Sunday, September 1. The 24-hour daily programming starts at noon. Dave Game, station general manager, noted that although they are slated to broadcast throughout the entire academic year, budget problems may shorten that time. The problem stems from Student Life’s, refusal to give the radio station the budget that they asked for. That budget request, $4,559, was trimmed to $3,030 by Student Life. Game claims that the budget he asked for was an austerity budget giving the minimal cost for providing good programming. Student Life disagreed, saying that WCEB’s request for United Press International teletype and audio service was unnecessary. However, Student Life turned down Tech Guild’s requests for funds through a parliamentary procedure ruling made after the rest of the budget had been approved. This left a $1,500 surplus which WCEB hopes to get. In relation to this surplus fund, Game stressed that "we are going to go off the air if we don’t get our additional funding by October 1.” The management and staff of the radio station feel that news is a necessary part of the station’s programming. Says Game, "If we can’t provide good programming, we don’t want to provide any at all.” For the time being, WCEB must operate on the budget given it by Student Life. Changes have been made relative to this, but Game said that UPI wire and audio is going to be part of the station’s programming. However, he said that the UPI contracts expire January 1, 1975, the date he plans to take the station off the air unless he can secure the needed additional funds. He said that the $1,500 surplus money would allow WCEB to continue programming throughout the rest of the year with UPI. Asked if the station could stay on the air without the additional funds. Game conceded that it could but said that all they could offer is music, nothing else. Our people refuse to work in a station that offers just this, he reiterated. - Without the additional funding to being operations, certain cuts were made to bring WCEB’s programming in line with the money allotted them. These changes included withdrawal from the National Association of Educational Broadcasters (NAEB), which means elimination of a source of educational programming; cutback of public affairs programming, which included coverage of special events happening downtown; and elimination of coverage of CCC sports. If Student Life doesn’t approve allocation of the surplus funds to the station, they still have a few recourses, Game said. However, he cautioned that because of the economic situation locally and nationally, grant money is tight and WCEB’s chances of tapping existing funds aren’t too good. He said that they applied for grant money m TOM GILL’S PHOTO STUDIO Complete Photographic Services and Supplies Commercial, Portrait, Wedding Industrial, Aerial Photography 60 East Market St. 962-2133 W: for educational programming under Title IV of the Federal Educational Grants Act in mid-July, but have received no word yet. Budget problems nave not totally overshadowed operations at the radio station, however. Some positive changes had been made by the station management. Most of the changes center around programming. Instead of a totally progressive format, the programmers have decided to incorporate oldies and some top 40 cuts in the music format. However, Game did say that the station will still offer classical and jazz music at certain times during the day. No set format has been developed to include these yet, he said. Another programming change includes the addition of the “Scott Ross Show”, a Christian-oriented program using top songs of the day to convey a spiritual message. The program will be aired Sundays from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. WCEB also added a program consultant to its staff. The new staffer is John Scott, a Local radio personality from WELM. Scott has agreed to meet with the station management to help them put together and maintain a professional programming format. Future plans include completion of production facilities which will be located in the trailer along with the main studio. Presently the production studio is being built with left-overs from the remodeling of the main studio. Tentative plans are being made by radio personnel to request funds for completion of the project from Student Government. Game stressed that even though the station is actively working to become more professional, anyone who wishes may join the staff.

This is what Tom Bentsen, WCEB-FM station engineer, seems to be saying as he attempts to erect the station’s antenna while atop a 40 ft. telephone pole Saturday. It took Tom Beiswenger and him a full day to put up the unweildy piece of equipment near the water tower above the CCC campus. Tuition cont. When asked what the major cost increases were, Frank replied that salaries and fringe benefits had gone up, per a newly negotiated contract with College em-plqyees. However, he would not disclose the a-mount or percentile figure of the increase. These salary increases, plus an overall hike in the cost of materials contributed to the increase in tuition. Even with the tuition increase, the student is only paying 25 per cent of the cost of running the campus, according to on-the-spot calculations he made when interviewed. Consequently then, some group other than the State and the students are paying more than their fair share, he said. That group is the school district and counties who send students to Corning. This fact irked county supervisors in Chemung County who recently visited CCC to discuss the matter. Following their visit, they found that they were complaining to the wrong place and that the States sets the rate that counties sending students here have to pay. However, the State only sets the capital chargeback, which is $300; the remaining a-lunt paid by these counties is determined by the alunt the sponsor. Corning City School District, has paid. The school district’s contribution went up this year, as did the overall enrollment at CCC of school district students. But Frank pointed out that the two increased were’n’t proportional. To compute the a-mount that other areas must pay to the operating budget of the College, the comptroller divides the number of students enrolling at CCC from the school district into the amount contributed by the district. The resulting figure is what these counties must pay in charge-backs, not including the $300 capital levy set by the State. An increase in tuition does not always mean that chargebacks will increase. The two are not related, Frank said. Wine Festival Sept. 14 Corning Community College will be the site once again this year for the Fourth Annual Wine Festival of the Finger Lakes. The festival, which is designed to cultivate community relations for CCC and to generate financial aid for students here, is slated for Saturday, Sept. 14, from noon to 7:00 P.M. The event started in 1971 attracting 8.000 persons. This year, however, planpers expect well over 10,000 visitors from all over the northeast. Featured at the festival will be a variety of entertainment, activities and concessions. Heading the long list of activities will be the annual bicycle marathon from Hammondsport to the Spencer Hill Campus, a 22 mile journey through the rolling hills of the New York State wine country. Other activities include: a balloon fly over, children's play area, fire truck rides, booths featuring a variety of items, a barbeque, foreign foods, music, fortune telling and the standard wine making contests and tasting booths. The wine tasting booths are run by local wineries, and those participating this year are: Boordy Vineyards of Penn Yan; Gold Seal-Henry Marchant Vineyards of Urbana; Great Western-Pleasant Valley Wine Co. of Hammondsport: Hammondsport Wine Co. and Taylor Wine Co. of Hammondsport. The festival has been featured in such national publications as Life and Glamour Magazines. Activities Budget cont. The fate of the Day Care Center now lies in center officials’ hands who are faced with insufficient staffing last year. A controversial budget request from the Tech Guild was first approved by Student Life and then was turned down. This decision was reversed in a controversial procedural move which was lated ruled illegal by Walter Smith, a Corning professor noted as a local authority on parliamentary procedure. The controversy cen^ tered around the motion^ to fund Tech Guild after the initial motion not to fund was passed. The motion was not billed as a move to strike the previous ruling; in fact, sponsors of the motion denied that it was. Smith ruled that this motion should have been ruled out of order. Student Life, realizing Smith's point, decided to abide by his ruling. This ruling kept intact the already approved motion not to fund Tech Guild. The class grants fund, which provides money to classes wishing to go on educational experience trips, was approved for $6,000. Also in this motion was a measure to fund personal growth workshops for $500. A rider was attached to this approval mandating that all requests for funds be approved first by Student Government. Student Government’s budget request for $2,937 won approval by Student Life after it was trimmed from its original form of $3,390. A new group. Music Guild, designed to further actiyity in music-related projects received $2,500 from Student Life. This figure represents a $4,275 cut in their original request of $6,775. In a final blanket motion, Student Life ok'd the remaining budget requests as recommended by Student Government, which had already mull-, ed them over. Budgets approved in this motion were: Arts and Convocations, $10,000; Literary Guild, $600; Two-Bit Players, $1,600; Activities and Programming Committee (formerly Commons Committee), $6,005 operating, $1,500 capital; Handbook Calendar, $900; Student Run Business, $800. The ruling on Tech Guild left the Activities Budget with a $1,500 surplus, which Student Life leaders say will be allocated during the year as requests for funding are received. The total approved requests amount to $102,000, $6,000 less than was available last year. Decreased enrollment was given as the reason for the lower budget. The Committee also approved an allocation of $7,140 to the College for handling activities money. This figure represents a one percent increase over last year’s allocation. Off The Cuff Con). year retailed at $7.95. For the 400 students taking Ps 101, this means a combined increase of $1,600. This is good news, indeed! ****** Words of advice are: 1. Don’t buy a text until you are sure of staying in the class. 2. Save the sales slip — books can be returned, and 3. If possible, try to buy a used book (the Used Bookstore is located in the basement of the Commons). The last bit of advice is often impossible as texts are often changed from year to year. Play it cool, and remember it’s your college. Don’t try to fit into the College’s expectations; instead, try to mold the college around your’s. WELCOME TO CAMPUS /♦MSTEROWfiGE i ACCEFTWHERCj Incoming freshmen received a warm welcome from Rod Serling, noted writer-producer, and Dr. Richard Curwin, an instructor at the State University of New York at Geneseo. Both Serling and Curwin were the principal speakers for the program. j In his talk with the students, he discussed topics ranging from amnesty to whether or not former President Richard Nixon should be prosecuted. On these topics, he said, that Nixon should be prosecuted and that resignation is not a punishment. Serling also favors amnesty for VietNam era draft dodgers. Following his introductory remarks, he showed his film “Class of '99 ", from his “Night Gallery” series. Curwin used his time at the podium to discuss values clarification as it relates to education. He then broke the group into smaller groups of six each to discuss this topic. Some comments on the entire Start-Up by freshmen included: “People seem friendly and nice," Jenny Baquet-te; “I like it. Everyone fits in together", Lorrie Drake; and another freshman, Chris Catner sumed up his thoughts saying, “Seems pretty good to me.” Cvier Photos By Tom Beiswenger and Dick Hoffman wmm m a * / **4 f «« < m * f, *■ i in THE CRIER.

Students are automatically billed for the insurance when they register. Students now wishing to take the policy should fill out a waiver in the Business Office. However, students who have already paid their bill with the health insurance included but are covered by another policy can get a refund also by filling out the refund form, co To survive here, one must have an I.D. card which can be obtained through Office Services, located on the ground floor of the Classroom Building. Also, each student must have a validation sticker if he already has an I.D. card. This may be obtained from Office Services. I.D.’s are useful in the community for check cashing, admission to college events (kegs), proof of age, and checking out books in the library. Students driving cars are posed with another survival problem, where to park them. This is a major problem in that to park oh campus, the student must register his car with the College. Registration stickers can be purchased for one dollar in the Business Office or in the Commons Lobby from September 2-6. Students caught parking without the required sticker will be fined. Students’ questions and appeals concerning on-campus parking tickets are handled by the Parking Board, which calls meetings as cases war-rent. Meeting times will he published in the Crier. Jobs are available to students from time to time through Ronnie Lipp, Career Counselor, or her secretary, Mary Glover. These jobs are not work-study jobs and anyone who applies will be considered. Most jobs that are available are part-time down-town. The College has on its staff six counselors who are available to help students in personal problems. The counselors are: Ron Hofsess, Classroom Building, 962-9213; Ann Cohn, Science Building, Room 114, 962-9324; Gil Sweet, Nursing Building, Room 326, 962-9215; Clark Maloney, Administration Building, 962-9220; Bill Glenn, Classroom Building, 962-9218, and JoAnn Kelley, Testing, Classroom Building 962-9214. Most students have course problems of one kind or another, but the Registrar’s Office is not able to handle course problems until Friday of the first week of school. The last day to drop a course with no record is September 13, and the last day to add a course is August 30.

However, the College and the division refused to offer him anything else, but he had to be rehired, according to state statutes, and the only other position left, was that of an instructor. This is the first time in four years that Bulk-ley has served as an instructor here. Bulkley’s refusal to accept the original contract, as offered by the College, left the HPER division without an Athletics Director. When the remaining division members refused to take the assignment, Wayne Barton, an instructor hired to fill the vacancy left when Bulkley went on sabbatical, received the nod. He accepted, and his term of employment here ended at the close of classes last semester. See related story on page eight. Tech Club Hit Also in the news. Student Life may have dealt a fatal blow to the Tech Club in refusing their budget request of $34,000 in action taken at the 6lose of last semester. The group, which had been active in Student Government, asked for the money to take various tech-related trips. A controversy flared over the legitimacy of the request, in that the entire budget was for trips. Opponents argued that this type of request should be handled by Student Government when it allots its educational experience monies. However, proponents of the request, primarily members of the tech division, argued that it was a healthy challenge to the system and that there are few activities funded that are geared specifically for tech students.See story on the activities budget on page one for more information. Courses at the Hill Also happening this summer, the College, in cooperation with the Elmira Correctional Facility, established a program of inmate education which allows inmates to attend classes full time. The college offered a similar program sever- ©Okies!!! The Tasty Bakery Comer East Market & Cedar Corning al years ago, but “Hill” officials in Elmira abruptly halted it over incidents concerning inmates spending more than their alloted time here. Dr. Robert W. Frederick, Jr., president of the College, hailed the program as the “best hope of rehabilitation of inmates while in prison and for employment and constructive service to sjociety upon release.” J The program will be handled through the Division of Continuing Education and Community Service, but the courses will be taught at the correctional facility. Auto Tech Approved College officials, especially faculty in the Technology Division, were pleased this summer when they received word from the State University Board of Trustees that the Automotive Technology Program had been approved. The program got its start with a developmental Vocational Education grant received in November of 1973. Planners formulated the program and sent it to Albany for approval late last semester. The program ^opens this semester, and Frederick C. Kepler, noted in local racing circles for his work with A-produc-tion sports cars, will be the instructor. The program is being offered in cooperation with the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), and students will be using facilities on the new BOCES campus _in Coopers Plains. Professors Cited Finally, two professors here, John Hanak, assistant professor of history, and Harold Hunziker, associate professor of history, were the recipients of the State University of New York Chancelor’s A-ward for Excellence in Teaching.

A UGUST29. 1974 oo ; This being the first is^ sue of the Crier this year, an introduction to the Crier sports staff and the world of sports at Corning Community College is probably in order. My name is Joseph A. Mirando and this is my first year as Crier sports editor, having served as a sports reporter last year. I am a sophomore and am the prirpe example of the washed-up high school athlete, not good enough to go on to bigger and better things'in sports, nor caring to, but merely content to keep up with the sports pages. I come from Elmira and currently write part-time for a weekly and a daily newspaper there, learned that he was here only as a replacement for Neil Bulkley, who was away on a sabbatic-. al leave of absence. Barton was supposed to be out of a job by the end of the spring semester; but when the position of Athletic Director opened up, Barton stepped in and filled it. Bulkley was previously the Athletic Director with John Polo taking his place in the wake of his absence last year. Pertaining to the athletes, over the years CCC has drawn a wealth of talent from the Twin Tiers area and as a result, Corning has been ranked in the top 10 of the nation’s junior col- Barton Appointed Athletic Director Beebe Retains PE Division Chairman Have questions on how to join a sports team? Want to know how to get involved in intramurals? Need information on Physical Education classes? If you’re seeking the answers to these questions and any-other concerning that rather imposing building a stone’s throw from the Nursing Building which is called the Gymnasium, you might want to go straight to the top. In that case, you will have to speak to the 1974-75 “Gym Brass”: PE Division Chairman Beverly Beebe or Athletic Director Wayne Barton. In his second year on the Spencer Hill Campus, Barton will assume the official title of director of Athletics, Intramurals, and Recreation. The Corning Community College physical education facilities are available for use by the students, faculty and community evenings and weekends during the year. The hours for open recreation will vary. Special and group use is possible. Anyone requesting the facilities may do so through Barton. In reference to intramurals, Barton plans to broaden this program which has experienced a recent decline in interest. The newly appointed Athletic Director hopes to set up a Coordinating Board and welcomes any students willing to participate on the Board or sitting in and offering suggestions at Board meetings. The Board will function through the Commons. “It’s never been tried before, and I hope we can reach more students this way,” says Barton. At this time, the sports program consists of teams competing in five intercollegiate sports: wrestling, basketball, lacrosse, girls’ basketball, and girls’ volleyball. Due to lack of funds, the fall schedule for golf and tennis were elimin- ated and the spring season for these two sports is also in great jeopardy. These two sports, which have had the least amount of participation, were forced to take a beating when Neil Bulkley refused to ' continue as Athletic Director this summer. Since the athletic budget was drawn up and approved before Barton was appointed Athletic Director, some areas had to suffer a cutback to pay his salary; and it turned out to be the tennis and golf teams. These two teams as of now, no longer exist, but Barton hasn’t given up on them and is working on ways to keep them in operation. The first Red Baron squad to see action this year will be the girls’ volleyball team coached by Miss MarV Gail Lee. Practice for this sport should begin about a month from now, and the team’s opener is slated for the CCC gym October 23 versus Geneseo. Just as the volleyball team undergoes the final stages of its season, the Coming grapplers and basketball players will snatch the spotlight. John Polo’s wrestlers, seeking a return to national recognition after suffering a bit of a slide last year, will begin the long road back to the nation’s Top 10 with a November 26 meeting with Genesee Commun- MOVING PICTURES?

I see the world of athletics at Corning Community College as four main divisions — the coaches, the athletes, the athletic budget, and the student body. Undder the coaching section, the head man is CCC Athletic Director, Wayne Barton. Last year was Barton’s first at Corning. He blended in well with his new surroundings and quickly became ity College. Meanwhile, Wayne Kenner will begin his fifth season as Baron basketball boss with the intent of bettering last year’s best ever mark of 18 wins and seven losses by starting out with a kickoff tournament at home on the weekend of December 6-7. The girls get back into the act in January with girls’ basketball. At present, the coach of this team is still unknown. January 30 has been selected as the girls’ cage opener with an away contest vs. Elmira College. Lacrosse, under second year coach Joe Stratton, will begin play in April. In the PE Department, Miss Beebe serves as Division Chairman and will teach Self Defense and Bowling. John Polo will instruct groups in Weight Conditioning and Self Defense and Gerry Galloway will preside at classes of Athletic Training and Jogging. Miss Lee will teach Body Mechanics, Basketball, Archery, and Volleyball. Tennis, Volleyball, and Badminton will be taught by Neil Bulkley. Mrs. Vicie Washington will direct classes in Archery, Gymnastics, Modern Dance, Tennis, and Rhythmic Exercise. Sherman “Dutch” Craumer will teach Badminton, Golf, Life Saving, and Swimming.

But toward the end of the year, it was gained regional honors in volleyball, bowling, and golf. Last year saw the wrestling and lacrosse teams fall off to subpar years; but the-basketball team was the best ever and the remaining sports — women’s volleyball and basketball, golf, and tennis — all compiled winning seasons. So what we have here at CCC is a successful sports program. As a group, the coaches and athletes have combined for an admirable records. The only barriers separating Corning from having a truly great sports program are two very powerful ones; the athletic budget and student body. With the appointment of Barton to Athletic Director over the summer, an additional salary had to be paid. A cutback was forced upon the athletic budget; and as a result, the fall sch-edles of golf and tennis were eliminated. These two sports, which are also in operation in the spring, may be dropped altogether. If so, the Corning Community Red Barons will be competing in just five intercollegiate sports. What the situation comes down to in regards to the student body is that the students of Corning Community College just don’t have the spirit. They could care less whether the Barons ousted UCLA and won the NCAA basketball tournament, nor if any CCC team fought its way to a national title. However, no one should be criticized for this, as has been the practice of previous Crier sports editors, because really no one is to blame. IPs very hard to instill pride and the rah-rah, go get’m spirit here due to the fact that Corning is a community college. Many students are residents of the immediate area and have jobs and outside interests. Plus, the lack of dormitories hinder the development of the feeling of unity and togetherness. So to you incoming students, you won’t find yourself attending bonfires or inspiring pep rallies. You won’t find any wildly enthusiastic and loyal groups of people sticking with their beloved Barons right to the bitter end. Nor will you find athletes in the prestigious position of King on the Hill. The sportsmen and sportswomen of CCC are just another group going about under the name of “jocks” with the same status of any other of the many cliques and gangs which make up our so-called “Harvard on the Hill.”
