Corning Community College Volume 22 No. 17 March 11,1982 Guaranteed Loans Still Available For Many Students D’Amato Defends Student Loan Programs College students and their parents should not be discouraged by the $30,000 family income limit from making applications for Guaranteed Student Loans (GSL) for tuition and expenses, according to William H. Monrian, Jr., Senior Vice President, Retail Credit, at Marine Midland Bank. Mr. Monrian said Marine’s volume of loans in the student program in the first eleven months of 1981 more than doubled 1980 figures. “Then in December and January, we saw a trend downward which indicates to us that reports of Federal cutbacks may have caused widespread misunderstanding.” “It is important now, when high school seniors are applying to colleges and those already enrolled are hearing about tuition increases, to understand that the income restriction only indicated a threshold above which parents are expected to contribute,” he explained. If the students demonstrate a need above the parental contribution, and the financial aid “ package” offered by the college, he added, they will qualify to receive a loan from their bank guaranteed by the federal government with an interest rate not to exceed nine percent, payable after graduation. There is also a five percent origination fee deducted from the total loan. To illustrate, Mr. Monrian said a family of three (parents and one dependent child) with a combined annual adjusted gross income of $32,000 would be expected to contribute $3,640 per academic year to that child’s education. Or a family of five (parents and three children) would be expected to contribute $2,340 per child in school. If that amount plus the scholarships, campus job, grants and loans available from the college is less than the total college cost -“and it often is,” said Mr. Monrian -- then the student is eligible for a GSL. Mr. Monrian reported that Marine Midland, which has outstanding loan balances in the GSL program nearing $200 million, attributes the “extraor- dinary growth" of the program to several factors. Among the causes are rising costs of education, increasing number of students seeking undergraduate and graduate and professional degrees, and changes in the law, the Middle Income Student Assistance Act passed in November, 1978, which raised the combined aggregate a student could borrow for graduate and undergraduate study from $15,000 to $30,000. Marine Midland also has recently added a new Parent Loan Program which would enable parents to borrow at the present annual percentage rate of 14 percent if the funds will be used for educational purposes. Parents may borrow up to $3,000 per year for a total of $15,000 per student, with repayment on a monthly basis. Additional information about both the Guaranteed Student Loan and the new Marine Parent Loan is available at any of the Bank’s 295 branch offices in 201 communites across New York State, Mr. Monrian concluded. U.S. Senator Alfonse M. D'Amato told over 2,000 New York State college students assembled on the steps of the nation’s Capitol that he will fight any reduction in funding for student aid programs. D’Amato predicted that “Further cuts in student aid would have a devastating impact on higher education and would severely impact New York State students and colleges. If the proposed budget figures were to be adopted,” the Senator explained, “New York State would lose $200 million in Pell Grants and campus based funding (SEOG, CWS, NDSL) over the period 1981-1983.” “The proposed changes in the Guaranteed Student Loan program would severely limit the ability of both under graduate and graduate students to pursue a higher education,” D’Amato said. “Eliminating graduate students from the program would translate into a loss of over 85,000 loans for New York State rsidents.” New York State receives 17 percent of all Guaranteed Student Loans and a mojor portion of other forms of federal aid to higher education. “Further cuts in student loan programs would be counter productive,” the Senator declared as he promised to continue his efforts in opposition to further student aid cuts. “There are other ways to cut federal spending. We must not jeopardize this Nation’s future by restricting educational opportunity for the leaders of tomorrow.” During last year’s budget battles, Senator D’Amato fought successfully to increase furtds for the supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program and' opposed efforts to double the origination fee for the Guaranteed Student Loan program. The New York students were in Washington on March 1st for a nationwide lobbying day to urge lawmakers to oppose further cuts in student aid programs. Senator D’Amato made his remarks in an address to over 5,000 students attending a rally on the west side of the Capitol building culminating their day-long efforts.

Beer game not funny Cami>us Digest News Service Doctors at the University of Iowa Hospitals have been treating an increasing number of college students with quarters stuck in their throats, stomachs and intestines. The students swallowed the quarters by playing a popular beer-drinking game on campus and several have had to undergo surgery to remove the errant coins. The game is called Quarters, \ oddly enough, and players bounce quarters off tabletops and into full glasses of beer. The person who successfully gets the coin into the glass must then chug the beer or pick another person to drink it. In gulping down the brew, students often swallow the quarter. One doctor says most students are pretty lucky. They swallow the quarter and pass it in a few days. Whether the quarter is passed depends upon the size of the person. One student put in his two-bits' worth of information by saying the game can show you the kind of people you're drinking with. ATTENTION STUDENTS!

COUNSELORS CORNER This is Good News? Guest Editorial Getting a warning grade of D or F may not seem like good news, but it can be seen that way, given a second look. If you had some doubt of your standing in a course, you now have a clearer picture of your progress. The warning grade was given at the end of six weeks of class, leaving a generous 9 weeks to make several choices; seea tutor; review your situation with the faculty member; improve your study skillsltest taking, note taking, improve ability to remember what’s read from textbooks, time management), by signing up for College Study Skill, LS100 - 1 credit hour or by meeting individually with a counselor; rethink your choice of program with your advisor, or a member of the Counseling and Academic Adivising Staff in order to be prepared for pre-registration March 29 - April 9 for the Fall Semester or plan to register for Career Planning, CP 100,3 credit hours. Many students take a course or two to determine whether a career interest may emerge, and that is sound strategy. When a warning grade is given in one of those courses, some students react by believing they have failed and are at a dead end with no further options in mind. Not so. It is at this time that it is important to see a member of the Counseling staff. It is time to see that taking the course was not a failure, but an answer to a question of possible interest. Discussion about next steps is important at this point; a piece of bad news can be turned to good news - a new direction, new information, new discoveries, new skills - all important to moving ahead. Warning grades are meant to be helpful, to give important information to students at a time when something can be done about the course or courses. Do stop by to discuss your grades with one of our staff - we are not only interested in your progress, we also believe we can assist you in making a negative experience turn to your advantage. Joanne Herman Are we the American people going to make the same mistake again, Vietnam in the 60’s and 70’s, now El Salvador. Remember, “Hell No We Won’t Go,” and the violence on America streets that went along with it. Remember the 59,692 men and women who died in Vietnam.Vietnam Vet’s remember the marches on Washington D.C., the medals on the White House lawn. If we stop NOW, our younger brothers, sons, and friends, won’t have to go through the type of “HELL”that we the Vietnam Vet did. But now is the time to stop it. Before El Salvador turns into another Vietnam. “Vietnam Era Vet’s” We should not be disillusioned with the passing of time. Nothing good came out of Vietnam, unless you think of all the money, American Chemical Companies made on, - see through body bags, Agent Orange, and Napalm, was good, and would like to give them, the same opportunity to do the same in El Salvador,(profit vs. American lives.) People killed59,692 apx. People wounded303,706 apx. P.O.W.’s and M.l.A.’s still missing 1500 apx. If more people thought as we do, and were not manipulated by promises of fantasy, it is possible that the Vietnam War would not have caused such havoc among our young men and women. The Kent State “Murders,” uprisings on the west coast campuses, and campuses all over the country. Events that shook this so called stable and ultraconservative society, as well as the stability of the free world. Let it be known that we did not want it then, and we don’t want it now. It is up to the American people to put a stop to this insanity, this sick game of “Political PingPong” using our young men and women as “pawns,” let's face it, the Political and Militeristic mind sees our young people as being expandable. it must be stopped! This perverted way of, thinking. How many more mother's will shed tears at their son’s or r daughter’s gravesides, because of war? IS IT WORTH IT& We are only committing genocide on our own people and destroying values that we tried to instill in our young. “Yes” most people think Vietnam is behind us, but for the men and women who served in Vietnam, or any other war, it is not forgotten. The havoc will always be with us and the ones we love, when we hurt, they hurt, and there’s nothing anyone can do to mask the horrors of war. Remember, Vietnam started the same way, with our politicians instigating ANOTHER war. George H. Deitrick Jr. Robert J. Vieira 3(tC If You.Like The CRIER....

Pat then answered: SchoolBinghamton Central, Program-mechanical technology, responsibility-show up for practice, show up for games, play aggressively in his forward position and get those rebounds. 1 then asked him what his relationship was with the other players. He turned, looked at me and said, "Oh, you mean how do I get along with Black guys?” “Well,” I stammered, “Yes, do you feel like a minority?” “No,” he said in a quick selfassured way. Pat gets along with all the players famously on and off the court. It was the strangest thing, but precisely at that moment team members seem to drift by and shake his hand, joke with him and someone asked him to come and watch an intraumural basketball game. Patricks opinion of his coach is no different than his team mates. He likes him. Pat describes Kenner as a clever coach, the type who really knows the opponent and utilizes the most effective plays to win. He feels that the team might have had more victories if they had followed Coach Kenner’s game plans more closely. Each player has a particular game whereby he is a star. For Pat, it was the Jan.22 game against Genesse. He had not started that particular game, he rarely did in the early season, but he came off of the bench to score some key baskets and grab some quick rebounds. This game was the turning point in the season for Pat, because it game him confidence in himself and increased Coach Kenner’s confidence in him. The interview was over in a matter of minutes and it is hard to know who you really were talking to, but 1 got the feeling that Donahue is a very direct, open kind of guy. When I asked him about his future plans, he said,“You never know. I could be in California this time next year.”Pat believes that he probably will return to CCC and to the team. Let’s look for him.

Imagine if you will, in the dark silent space between the consellations of Taurus and Orion, and interstellar star-craft. As it travels it monitors the space around it, alert for bodies of matter that oould be a dnager. An object appears on the monitors, drifting aimlessly, metallic in nature, constructed by an intelligent but primitive race. The object is transferred aboard the craft and decontaminated. It is scrutinized by the craft’s scientific computers. Quite primitive. Most likely some sort of survey probe. On one side of the probe is a gold-anodized aluminum plate with seemingly uncom-prehensible markings. The plate is run through a decoding machanism. It is determined that the object’s origin is from the third planet of a system in the outer arms of the galaxy. Also on the plate is a representative of the intelligent race’s physical appearance. A message is relayed to the starcraft's home world telling of the plates message. The planet's government deliberates for a period of time then comes to a decision: send a survey mission to the planet. The survey starcraft arrives at its destination, the third planet of a yellow-white dwarf star, lmmediatly it begins to study the life on the planet. The planets’ dominant life-form is one similar to the picture on the probe’s plate. They are mainly protein creatures., With primitive buildings and communications. Information is gathered, coalated, processed and relayed to the home world. The result, a fleet of starships converge on the planet. They begin collecting large groups of the life-forms for transport back to the home world. The life forms have become a commodity on this far away world. Domesticated slaves and pets. With the useful opposed digit on their upper appendages. Their planet of origin becomes merely a breeding ground for the planets major export. Humans. The Terran race continues. But only as slaves. A lesser life-form to be used, sold, and disposed of at will. Madalain Trice •32.

Water A TAKE FIVE Elmira Little Theatre Community Free Theatre One of the funny things about “A Funny thing happened on the way to the Forum,” the hilarious musical comedy hit to be presented by the Elmira Little Theatre at the Clemens Center March 18-20, is that nobody in the show ever gets to the Forum. Nobody even starts out for the Forum. The joke of the title is, of course, immediately apparent to those old enough to remember vaudeville in its heydey. To their juniors, who never experienced that popular form of entertainment which collapsed with the joint arrival of movie sound tracts and the Great Depression of the 1930’s, the full flavor of the title can only be appreciated by going to see the show. There is no subtlety in this show. It’s rowdy, ribald, slapstick humor at its most risible and has everything that’s been making farces raucously comic for 2000 years-mistaken identities, masquerades, lecherous old duffers chasing pretty girls and young lovers panting to get married. David Siskin will be seen as a slave-in-a-toga (who gets many a‘kick in the toga, of course) who creates uproar as, he tries to gain his freedom by catering to the yearnings of his master, David Steams, and the master’s lecherous old father, for the most desirable piece of merchandise in the collection of a nearby girl-trader. Jim Hare will be seen as a fellow slave in the household who is content to remain in slavery but is pulled into schemes. Harold Treu will have the hilarious role of the aging but still chipper father, Kathy Lovell portrays the delectable piece of merchandise, Harrison Dann poses as the business-like owner of the girl-market, and Janice Slocum plays the shrewish spouse. Fred Manzella will play a virile military man who complicates the plot with a prior contract for the sought-after girl upon his return from some war or other and Bill Cunnings portrays the neighbor who is constantly being sent off to run seven times around the seven hills of Rome. The cast includes, in addition, a trio of Proteans(Sebastian Panfini, George Underhill and Mike Lavarnway) and a group of beautiful inmates of the slave-market - with such reflective naves a Gymnasia, Tintinabula, Panacea, Vibrata and Geminae (Dorene Wen-sman, Louisa Whalley, Mary Ann Reed, Patti Cieri, Sally Smith and Joan Whiting) - who all vibrate and undulate through some allegedly Roman dances. Robert Schmitt is staging this jolly romp, Sally Stilwell is staging the dances, Lee Ann Garlick and Bill Hedrickson are directing the music with a pace to keep everybody’s togas flying, Charles Easterbrook is constructing the scenery representing the adjacent houses facing a street in ancient Rome, and Doris Siskin ahs created the colorful assortment of tunics, togas, gowns, wreaths and armour of Romans who never start out for the forum and consequently never get there. Tickets sell for $3.75 (Adults), $2.75 (Students) and $1.00(Sr. Citizens on Thursday evening and Sat. matinee). Show time is at 8:00pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday with a 2:00pm matinee on Saturday. Membership holders are reminded that they need to reserve tickets for the show. AL MARTINO TO SING FOR CHARITIES Hollywod entertainer, A1 Martino, will sing at the Sayre Theatre on Saturday, April 3.

They will be staged on March 18, 19, 20 at Tarantelli’s in Corning (123 West Market Street) and on March 25, 26, 27 at the Elmira Psychiatric Center Auditorium (Washington and Market Streets, Elmira). The cast includes the experienced local actor and actresses: Bruce Barney, Loretta Casey, Beth Davis, Maryann Pawlowski and Amelia Rodriguez. All have appeared in previous productions of the Community Free Theatre. Both plays are directed by a new Corning resident, Day-Lih Tung. It is her first production in this area.

Box 44—L Los Angeles, CA 90044 Sex,Fripp and Rock-N-Roll Patrick Thomas A friend of mine, Holly, asked me recently; “Who in the hell is Robert Fripp?” A question answered easily in comparison to the one that was answered at KING CRIMSON’S CON CERT in Syracuse on February 25th; “What is Robert Fripp?” Fripp’s “Small, mobile, and intelligent unit” took the Landmark theatre stage in relaxed atmosphere in front of a mixed audience of people drawn in by the CRIMSON name, former “Buford” fand and “Frippheads” (at the Savoy Club last fall, a group of lotus-seated Frippheads were spotted knocking their heads against the floor). Although this lineup of CRIMSON is impressive; including bassist Tony Levin (of Lou Reed, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel) on his stick, an approximately 15-string, 3 inch wide, 25 inch long, body-less Bass Guitar, drummer Bill Bruford (of Yes, UK, Bruford, Genesis, Chris Squire, Steve Howe) playing a set comprised of Roto-Toms, Drum Synthesizers, and Octo-Bans, and Adrian Belew(Frank Zappa, Bowie. Talking Heads, David Byrne) on lead vocals and guitar, it is Fripp who carrys the band in his nearly humorless attitude. Saying nothing and seated in his stool for the entire performance. Once can not help but think of Fripp’s following statement; “I think rock musicians feel an affinity with strippers, go-go dancers, and hookers - that you put something very dear to yourself on the line for the public”. It is here that the “new” CRIMSON begins, 11 albums have been produced under the CRIMSON name but Belew mentiioned the next upcoming album as their second. And perhaps it is, although Fripper-tronics were born in the late 70’s, they made their first appearance on I974’s RED and two songs from RED were among only 3 pre-DISCIPLINE numbers in the bands set. No 21st century schizoid man, easy money, court of the Crimson King, tonight. Tonight finds its roots in “The League of Gentlemen”, Fripp’s punk album. Opening with the lines “Rock-n-roll is about f*cking” and evolving into recognizable female noises, the album throws you into mental and physical straining dance songs that end with a discussion of the cerebral and physical feelings of rock-n-roll music. Crimson’s music indeed involves hot If the body and mind. It sets off your natural rhythmic pulses that are much like sexual intercourse, while involving your intense concentration. Each chord change followed by your ear, searching for those subtle differences, that mar or may not set off some sort of verbal response. I found myself captivated by Levin’s short solo until I recognized the opening notes of their new opus “Elephant Talk” upon which I scream in uncontrollable excitement. Perhaps Fripp is right. Belew approached the microphone speaking short David Byr-ne-like statements; ’Talk, its only talk, Babble, Burble, Elephant Talk, Descen-dtion, Deceit." Without the inclusion of older songs, the new material becomes instantly classic while being performed. Belew dressed in a blue zoot-suit adds a degree of humor to the otherwise sedated occasion, which brings to mind a reciprocal statement of KING CRIMSON. I conceived upon first hearing of the concert; “All other bands are noise, CRIMSON is music" yet one can not but adore the soft, sensuous, feeling of “Matte Kudesai” combining eastern scales and relaxing subrhythms described by one as “Frippertronics over the rainbow”. But it is the scientific technicality of the band that I feel rides over their sexuality. If “Rock-n-roll is about f*cking” then perhaps it is performed by brain surgeons, because Fripp’s music shows little of the upfront sadomasochism of Lou Reed or the bisexuality of. Bowie. No perverse feelings can override those 9/8 time signatures of off-time accents. Perhaps I have taken Fripp too seriously in his statements, but when you consider at least 70 percent of Fripp’s audience is male, then the answer may lie with Fripp’s guru, philosopher J.G. Bennet__ As they leave the stage, the words of the song “Indiscipline” are felt throughout; “I spent a whole day looking at it, then I tried not looking at it for days, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.” Here are some of the currently available Job openings in the criminal Justice area.
