Wayne, Searles Abdicate the CRIER The last issue of the CRIER has been published and activity of the “newsroom” (the CRIER Office) has slowed almost to a halt. Two people are seen relaxing, reminising about the past year. Seated at his desk is Michael J. Wayne, Editor-In-Chief, and curled on the sofa is Geri Searles, Managing Editor. They have worked together, tiredlessly, since last June, publishing the CRIER, and now it is time to turn the office over to a new staff. Barbara Sutton, a liberal arts major from Corning, will be the Editor-in-Chief for the coming school year. Barb hopes to pursue a career in journalism and feels that her experience as Editor will be a great asset to her. Others on the editorial board for the ‘80-‘81 school year include: Michelle O’Heron, a liberal arts major from Corning, as Feature Editor; Mark Fiorillo of Corning as Sports Editor; Diane Zeh, a paralegal assistant major from Cohocton, as Circulation Manager; Rita Novakowski of Elmira Heights as Lay-Out Editor; and Vicki Dailey of Elmira as Photography Editor. Congratulations to you all. Mike and Geri didn’t just confine themselves to working on the CRIER; they were both very visible in other aspects of college life. Mike also served on various committees including the Budget Committee of SG, the Educational Policies Committee and the Chancellors Award Committee. He was also a member of the Big 5 and served as advertising chairperson of SUNFEST‘80. Mike plans to continue his education at Niagara University where he will major in Accounting. Geri, too, led a busy life outside the CRIER Office. She was involved in the Visiting Scholar Program and was a judge for the Landlord of the Year Award. She was a member of the Veterans Assoc, and of IMPACT; and served on the committee on Sexual Abuse and Rape Awareness. On Saturday mornings, “Hill Happenings,” her column about events at CCC, appeared in the Corning LEADER. After graduation, Geri will attend Syracuse University for a dual degree in broadcast journalism and history. Good luck and best wishes to these two involved and hard-working students. IN THE WORDS OF WAYNE... _______________J The End of a Long Journey It was about one year ago that Geri and I embarked down the long road to revive a newspaper that had lost almost all respect of our college community. I brought forth a business background that is vital to all newspapers along with four years experience while Geri contributed a vast amount of grammatic knowledge and an immense desire to learn. Between the two of us we have managed to build a staff that helped us realize one of our main goals. The goal, to be recognized as a quality community college newspaper, was achieved at the 56th annual Columbia Scholastic Press Association Journalism Convention. To my knowledge this was the first time the CRIER has been recognized by this prestigious group. A famous editor, who you all know and love, once said that “a newspaper is only as good as the immediate support it receives.” This holds true with the CRIER. Because of a damaged reputation, Geri and I were forced to work even harder to receive enough support of students, faculty, staff and the administration to help pave the long road ahead of us. This was accomplished and I feel it only fair to thank our staunch supporters, who have been with us from the begining. Betty White, our advisor, supported us best by her strong support of freedom of the college press. Although Betty and I didn’t always see eye to eye on every issue, she was always there to listen and offer advice. Roger Ohstrom, Director of Student Activities, and Jack Kelley, Dean of Student Services. These are two of the finest men I have ever had the privilege to work with. If this was a full-time job, working with Roger and Jack, I would snatch it in a minute. It is very rare that you will see two men so willing to devote as much time as possible to procure the success of student activities. Keep it up! Tim Bonomo, President of ICC. When you put two tempermental individuals, such as Tim and myself, together you will often draw conflict. But to the contrary, much on Tim’s part, this only happened once. Tim has more than enough reason to hold a grudge against this paper yet he put all of that aside to become a loyal supporter. It is because of this that when Tim praises the newspaper (he really does every now and then) it is taken as a true compliment. There are many others who I should recognize but, because of space, I cannot. It would be easier to just take all the names on the college campus phone directory. In closing, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the “over 18 year old who holds the number 2 position on the paper.” I’m sure you will agree that this was an experience that will never be forgotten. To my staff just one word: THANKS, and to our year long critics I must apologize for helping to prove you wrong. It has been a long eventful year. After 21 issues, as I put this last paper to bed, I’d just like to say that this editor, who you all know and hopefully love (see paragraph 4), would defintely agree that the support I have received at Corning Community College is the best. THANKS! RAMBLINGS THANKSCCC By: Geri Searles My love affair with CCC is nearly over and I am saddened by the thought. It is very difficult to express my feelings. CCC has given me all the special qualities that any lover would give its beloved-affection, encouragement, support, tenderness, understanding, compassion, friendship. I am not the same person I was two years ago-l have grown tremendously. When I entered CCC, I expected simply to be an average student, not getting involved in any activities and then pick up a piece of paper at the end of those two years. Anyone who knows me, knows that was not the way it happened. I am a slightly above average student, completely immersed in student activities. And I will be one proud and happy student on June 1 when Dr. Hangen hands my diploma to me. If I started listing individuals who have helped me through these two years, I am bound to omit someone. Every person I have come in contact with-faculty, fellow students, library staff, maintainence, clerical staff-has influenced me in some way. You may not even be aware that you have touched me in someway but you have-everyone of you. The faculty is superb and I’ll argue with anyone who says differently. Whenever I have had a problem, whether it be academic or per-sonel, the faculty has been understanding and caring. Every professor I have had has encouraged me and given me the courage to continue my education. And never for the life of me, two years ago, would I have thought that I would go on to a four year university. But, I am-Syracuse University, here I come. Sometimes I pinch myself, thinking that this is just some fantastic dream-but it’s not. For so many years I was told that I could never do anything successfully or amount to much, and now I smile and say“You’ve come a long way baby.” But I never could have done it without YOU. And this year, working on the CRIER, has been one of the most worthwhile learning experiences in my life. Something that was proven was that two people, 14 years apart in age, could work together on a college newspaper. We only had one major confrontation all year-not bad, not bad at all. I have learned a lot from Mike and have grown to love and respect him. We have developed a friendship that I hope continues as we go our seperate paths in life. When I leave this area in the Fall, I will be leaving all that is familiar to me--streets, stores, friends, even my sons are staying in Horseheads with their father, and entering a completely new environment-large university, unfamiliar city and strange faces. In time, I know, I will make new friends and the scenery will become familiar—it is all part of the next step I must take, it is all part of life. I am a prolific letter writer so don’t be surprised if you receive a letter from me. One thing I ask-please answer. And so, my love affair is coming to an end. I am sad but I am a better person for it. THANKS CCC. YOU HAVE TOUCHED ME, I HAVE GROWN. LETTERS: Dear Fellow Students, I know that it’s close to the end of the semester and probably campus issues are fading from priority, but if you read this and think about it and decide to help, then you will be the person who can make a change on campus. A change that will benefit you, the college community, the Corning community, and perhaps the Tri-County area. We need your help, even if just in principle. WCEB, the college radio station, is a ten watt station. On a good day we can be heard in Painted Post which wasn’t bad for the type of station it used to be. It was an amateur station with people operating it mostly for the enjoyment of it. It’s fine to enjoy you work but that tends to make it more of a game than a serious business and something like a radio station, which is regulated by the Federal Communications Com-mision, IS serious business. This semester we have people who view the station that way. Fortunately, those people are returning next year. In one semester WCEB has gained a community listening audience that puts the past two to three years to shame. We receive a minimum of 15 requests phoned in each day during college hours. The station has reached The College Community: Working on the “CRIER” staff this year has been a wonderful experience. A lot of credit for making it a wonderful experience goes to Mike Wayne and Geri Searles. They were always there to give a helping hand, guidance, and could almost always brighten the day with a smile, a kind word, or kidding. A lot of people don’t realize what a lot of hard work Mike and Geri have done all year. If it weren’t for them, many times there wouldn’t have been a level where we are experimenting with our programming which has broadened our listening audience. However, we are not sure what impact that we have on our present audience so we are turning to them for feedback. WCEB is considering membership in an organization that specializes in the radio broadcast field. Specifically an organization that can help us on matters of specific educational and community programming and perhaps some ideas on training methods. But the most direct way to broaden our audience is to pick up on an option that the F.C.C. has given ten watt educational radio Stations. The F.C.C. now allows stations like ours to increase their output to 100 watts. That may not sound like much but for us at WCEB it is our major goal. We have worked hard to prove ourselves worthy of 100 watts and have designed proposals to make sure that the station doesn’t fall back to what one administrative official called a “training station” that should only broadcast through the Commons. We are not that station now and if our proposals are accepted, we will never be a “training station.” We will be a community service station that is heard, a paper, for they took on most of the responsibilities themselves. Clearly, they have worked above and beyond the call of duty. It has truly been a pleasure working with Mike and Geri and the other members of “The Crier.” I will certainly miss those who will be graduating this year. But I will always remember them and the good times and accomplishments that we all have shared this year. Good luck to all of them and to the new members on next year’s staff. DIANE ZEH respected, and utilized. Last year the radio station approached administration officials (the Board of Trustees hold our F.C.C. license) about going to 100 watts. After all was said and done, the station was told essentially that if we improved our programming quality then going to 100 watts will be seriously considered. Well, we have improved our programming as best as we know how arid caught the attention of some of the Corning community (and apparently they like what they hear). So now the time has come for the station to take the college administration up on it’s offer and WCEB would like your support. We view the station as a legitimate organization. When improvements are made in organizations the result perpetuates the initiative for further improvements and continuity. WCEB will be depending upon the administration and trustees for a judgement upon the results of our efforts. And next year we will have the funds for some new equipment and more efficient facilities but it will mean little if there is nothing to perpetuate the initiative. So please, think about our situation and show your support. Also, don’t forget to tune in at FM 92. Thank you. J.R. SHUTTER BOB GEE My doctor pronounced me cured of cancer. My boss didn’t. My boss didn't under stand that I was healthy again.

It proved to be one of the most interesting workshops we have ever attended. Throughout the workshops the blacks and whites were segregated, though, we DID have some free time that allowed us to socialize and make some close friends. During the seperate workshops we discussed the problems of racism and how it is perpetuated and maintained in our society and at CCC. This was exemplified in our everyday experiences which we shared with each other. During the last hour of our stay, both the black and white students decided to get together to discuss any feeling that may have developed during the course of the workshop. With the suggestion of the advisors, it was decided that the confrontation would include only the students. Before the discussion however, we were all a bit hesitant for fear that no one would speak openly or honestly. Much to our surprise, the ice was soon broken, and in a matter of a few moments, everyone was speaking at once. Our main topic of discussion was the problem of racism as it exists at CCC. We all agreed that by simply being aware of the present racist problem, we could then begin to open doors as to what we can do about it. Since we were allowed only one hour for our “get-together,” we reluctantly halted our discussion making a note to bring up our discussed topics at Student Government. Besides having a great time, we found the weekend to be very beneficial to us. In closing, we would like to point out that there is indeed evidence of racism on and off campus, and that each and everyone of us has the power and ability to do something about this unfortunate fact. We feel that we have already taken substantial steps towards alleviating racism on campus, and if everyone would “tune” themselves in on the problem then we may be able to control the problem much quicker, along with making many people happier.

It was a preentry day in May 1978 and I was still pretty uncertain about whether or not I was ready to enter the world of bluejeans, textbooks, loud music and research papers. But after spending the day with this woman, I made the decision that if even a part of the faculty was as considerate and thoughtful as she, I would do all right at CCC. Thus began my encounter with Helen Werner, Associate Professor of English. She is a pleasant looking woman with sparkling blue eyes and graying hair tied back in a bun. And to my delight, she became my advisor. But Helen is not sim- ply an English teacher. "She cares about her students and makes herself available to students,” said Mary Lee Whitehead, secretary in the Communications Dept. Time and time again, students comment on the amount of help Helen is willing to give them. One student said that English was not exactly his best subject but that didn’t matter to Helen, she was willing to give him all the help and encouragement he needed. When Helen first began teaching at CCC in 1963, she was involved in many community activities but soon dropped them all so she could be more available to her students. And the number of former students who stop by the office is testimony that she does take time. "Teaching is her love and always has been,” said Betty White, who shares the office with Helen. “But,” continued Betty, “she has a wide variety of other interests.” In the past several years, Helen and her husband, Alan have been “mom” and “dad” to 17 foreign students. These students live with the Werners in their comfortable home on Watauga Ave. while they attend local high schools or CCC. Helen’s “other” children, she has two of her own, have come from such places as Hong Kong, Belgium, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Afghanistan. “But it has been a two--way street,” said Helen, “we have learned as much about their cultures as they have about ours.” Campus Security Does By: Tom Brew The loaded rifle barrel pointed across the main thoroughfare of the campus toward the Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Library. A few minutes later, a college security guard approached the gunman and confiscated the weapon. The New York State Police arrived shortly thereafter and took the man into custody. This is one example of the way the security THANKS We are pleased to announce that Bill Raplee has accepted the position as Assistant Manager of Student Run Business for the balance of this semester and will step up to manager starting July 1. He is being trained by Mike Preston, SRB Manager and will be ready to serve the college community next year. Student Run Business would like to thank all the student who worked for us this past year.

Unfortunately when you do this day in and day out, you tend to step on a few feet.” James L. Chapman, associate professor of criminal justice and the head of CCC’s security guards said. Most of this “stepping” involves students who have been issued parking tickets and wonder why. “Why don’t the security guards ticket those cars, they are clearly over the white line?” one student asks. “They’re only a bunch of metermaids”, another student chimes in. “We do get a lot of complaints on the parking tickets, mostly occurring when one person is ticketed and another is not. The students don’t understand that we have many other duties, and we might be called away while issuing tickets,” Frank Morningstar, a security guard and R.l.T. graduate said. “Actually tickets are The jade plant in Helen’s office is testimony to still another of her interests--plants. There are several other plants in the office and her home is filled with them, including a giant jade tree in the front window and dozens of others in her sunny, spacious dining room. Helen is also adept at cooking Chinese and African dishes, baking, gardening and sewing. She often sews for her foreign students and has knitted each one a sweater. She has not always been an English teacher but began her career teaching math. Her bachelors degree is in Chemistry/Math with a minor in music. But, being interested in such a wide variety of areas, she took her Masters degree at Cornell in 16th century literature. Help the least of our worries,” David Rouse, a security guard and prospective criminal justice graduate added. In fact, the microscope you look through in biology or the field trip your club is planning might be made possible by the money collected in parking fines. The money collected in these fines goes directly into the college fund, a business office spokesperson confirmed. Investigating fire alarms, larceny reports, accidents, assult charges or just accompanying a local law officer serving a subpeonal are all under the jurisdiction of CCC’s security guards. Of course many situations arise needing special attention, such as: escorting a recently assaulted student to and from classes for several weeks; driving a frightened faculty member or student (who were afraid to drive themselves) down the hill in a blinding snowstorm; searching room to toom locating a night student “I’m not sure I could have taught math to this age,” said Helen. Al Poole, Professor of Psychology, said of Helen, “She is a good example of what must have been true of people during the Age of Enlightenment. “Helen has two distinct characteristics,” he continued, “She is genuinely curious and she is generous of her time. She is almost totally unselfish.” Yes, that is very true of Helen. When I stopped by her home the other day, before I even had my coat off, she asked, “Would you like a cup of coffee or tea?” And then she asked, “Have you had your lunch? I’ll make you a sandwich.” There I was , intruding on her day, and she was thinking of me. I feel very fortunate to have had this delightful, charming lady guide me through my two years at CCC. the CRIER it’s good... for YOU! in time to rush him to a hospital bed where his mother died minutes later. At other times security has been called on to obtain a diabetic’s medicine in time to prevent a serious medical calamity and to administer first aid to accident victims, Chapman said. What started out, in 1975, as a learning lab for criminal justice students has grown into a highly developed and responsible security program.

I don’t quite know where to start, but I’ll give it a try. The past two semesters have been very enjoyable for me. First of all, I advisor Betty White for recommending me for the position of sports editor. She has been a fantastic supporter and always encouraged me to do a column. She has helped more than even she knows. While I’m saying thanks, there is no way I could leave out John Marmuscak. Without John’s help, the sports page would have been almost a disaster. Intramurals on this campus is very important and John does his job as well as anyone could. If I was Willie Stargell, John would have a whole cap full of those gold stars. Makes me wish that he was my alderman. He does that job very well also. Another person in the sports department that is high on the help list is our athletic director, Bob Vanelli. He is a very devoted man to the job he has. Bob seems to take care of everybody who needs his help and then some. One visit to his office would convince anyone that he is a super athletic director. Putting together any section of the newspaper takes a lot of work and a lot of help from many people, and the sports page is no different. There is no way that one person can do it all. To mention just a few names, I would like to thank the following: Mike Gilmartin, Wayne Kenner, Ernie Danforth, Mary Gail Lee, Dave Smith, Mark Fiorilo, Kevin Whitford, Steve Weber and Bob Lyon(photos). I hope I didn’t leave anyone out. You people have all been a great help to me and I want you to know that I appreciate everything you have done for me. Doing this column has been a lot of fun for me and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. It’s been fun. I have had many good experiences. The basketball team had a good season. Next year will be even better. The volleyball team was successful. Two wrestlers will be vying for a shot at the Olympics. I got a chance to write about our Olympic hockey team. (That was fun). Having lunch with Heywood Hale Broun was something I won’t forget for a long time. Working with the staff of the CRIER was extremely enjoyable. A good bunch of people. I would like to wish the best of luck to Mike Wayne and Geri Searles. Both of them will be leaving CCC to continue their education elsewhere and they will be missed. Good luck to both of you. Summer is coming and the best thing about the season is outdoor sports. Sports has always been a big part of my life and I like the summer best of all. If you get bored with life, take up an outdoor sport and get involved with it. It’s a great way to enjoy yourself and best of all, it makes you feel better. I think I will end this column with a little bit of trivia. If you can answer the following question, I will buy you a drink at the Village Inn in South Corning. The only rule is that you will get only one guess and I must be working at the time. I work five nights a week. Just ask for me when you come in. The question is: Who was the very first basketball player at UCLA to be named as an ALL AMERICAN. Clue: It’s not John Wooden, he played at Purdue. First five people with the right answer will get a drink. Even If you don’t know the answer, come on down and we’ll talk sports. I could do that all night long. Thank you everyone! SPORTS EDITOR LARRY FRENCH HEADED TO MOSCOW? Olympic Hopefull Ron Winnie Security continued from P. 6 the N.Y.S. Civil Service Exam and meet the job qualifications set forth by Steuben County. Presently there are 4 full-time and 6 part-time guards, 4 of whom are women, maintaining a 24 hour surveillance of the Spencer Hill Campus, Chemung Street Campus and the Goff Road Extension Center. Unfortunately, only 2 guards are on duty on any regular 8-hour shift. Even with this limitation, “they do a fantastic job,” several security-aided students and faculty remarked. The next time you see a friendly red and white bronco patrolling or issuing tickets, remember, the alternative to full-time campus-run security is very part-time patrolling by a blue and yellow State Police car.

In a tournament held at Brockport State College both wrestlers finished second in their respective weight classes to earn a trip to Madison, Wisconsin and a berth on the pre-Olympic squad. The Wisconsin tournament will be held on May 8-10. The top six wrestlers in each weight class will then qualify for the training camp in Lin- coln, Nebraska. Winnie, who was voted to the All-American team in a recent Junior College tournament, will wrestle in the 149 pound class. Weber, a co-captain on this year’s Baron squad, will compete in the 105 weight class. Ron is a sophomore from Spencerport, N.Y. and is a liberal arts major. Steve, also a sophomore, is a physical education major from Watkins Glen, N.Y. The CRIER sports department wishes these two wrestlers the best of luck.

Even though you’re in a two-year college right now, there are many aspects of the Army you might find very attractive. Maybe even irresistible. See for yourself. ROTC SCHOLARSHIPS If you’re thinking of eventually going to a four-year college, it’s not too early to start thinking about an ROTC scholarship. There are 2-year and even 1-year ROTC scholarships available. They cover tuition, books, and lab fees. Plus $100 a month living allowance. Naturally, they’re very competitive. Because besides helping you towards your bachelor’s degree, an ROTC scholarship helps you towards the gold bars of an Army Officer. It’s worth looking into. WINGS & A CHOPPER With two years of college under your belt, you can get preferential consideration for Warrant Officer Flight Training. If you pass all the tests and qualify, you’ll go through 40 weeks of rigorous and valuable training. You’ll earn the distinctive bars of a warrant officer and the silver wings of an Army aviator. You’ll have at least 175 hours of flight instruction, 40 hours with a flight simulator, 4 weeks night qualification, and enough classroom work in aerodynamics, meteorology and aerial navigation to last a lifetime. The result is a rewarding, responsible and prestigious position as an Army helicopter pilot. STRIPES FROM THE START What you’ve learned in college has already earned you a promotion in the Army. LKEYOU? It’s true. If you join the Army with two years of college, you can start two pay grades higher. Instead of being an E-l with an empty sleeve, you can come in as E-3 with stripes. It means about $60 more a month in your paycheck. And a lot more opportunity in the long run. Since you’ll be literally wearing your education on your sleeve, your talents won’t go unnoticed by your superiors. And starting out right can really help you make the most of the Army. FOR PART-TIME WORK You can get a $1,500 bonus just for enlisting in some Army Reserve units. Or up to $2,000 in educational benefits. You also get paid for your Reserve duty. It comes out to about $1,000 a year for 16 hours a month and two weeks annual training. And there’s a special program that lets you fit your Army Reserve active duty around your school schedule. It’s something to consider. Because even if you went to a two-year college because it was less expensive than a four-year college, you know by now that it still isn’t cheap. A few years in the Army can help you get not only the money for tuition, but also the maturity to use it wisely. The Army has a program in which money you save for college is matched two-for-one by the government. Then, if you qualify, generous bonuses are added to that. So 2 years of service can get you up to $7,400 for college, 3 years up to $12,100, and 4 years up to $14,100. In addition, bonuses up to $3,000 are available for certain 4-year enlistments in selected skills. Add in all the experience and maturity you can get, and you can see how the Army can send you back to college a richer person in more ways than one. We hope these Army opportunities have intrigued you as well as surprised you. Because there is indeed a lot the Army can offer a bright person like you. For more information, send the coupon below.
