J Enrollment The number of students under 25 enrolled should decx'ease 15 percent, while the number of students aged 25 to 49 should increase by 25 percent by the year 1990 Ford Gives Views on Political Issues Former President Gerald R. Ford by Lee Huftalen Former President Gerald R. Ford touched on many issues from nuclear arms to our economic status in his recent visit to CCC. Mr. Ford stated we are “wasting our time” negotiating a nuclear freeze. He said we should first seek a mutual reduction - while still maintaining a “margin of safety” -then propose a freeze. Mr. Ford believes Reagan is helping us achieve that margin. He also feels we definitely have means for verification of the freeze. In relation to the current Middle East conflicts, Mr. Ford said a “bloodier and much more costlier war” will break out unless these problems are worked out soon. He also outlined three things that must be done: First, he believes all remnants of the PLO should leave Israel. Second, a “viable” government must be built inside Lebanon, much stronger than the one instituted in 1973. He said, “It’s hard to believe that four years ago that place was a gem.” Thirdly, he called for all sides of the Middle East conflict to come together at a bargaining table to “settle differences”. Mr. Ford believes the Reagan Administration is taking the nation’s budget deficit “too lightly”. With a new budget proposal for our nation having a $210 billion deficit, he says, it is “scary”. He felt that the programs we implement today may “fall Hat on their face” because of this problem. The nation’s economic crisis can best be solved by a team of top economists and college professors, he feels, rather than having one president “solve all of the problems.” He also said he would “vigorously oppose an amendment to increase the term of presidency from four to six years. “Too many presidents try to do too many things too quickly.” Things should be spread out over one term, and he feels the public should have the right to continue with that person or move on to another every four years. He said an extension would also take away “50% of the peoples voting power.” Former President Gerald R. Ford made a short tour of CCC while he visited our area. The former president spoke to Honor’s Forum members and visited a meeting in progress of Student Government. Ron Haflett, president of Student Government presented Ford with a college shirt from our bookstore with the CCC emblem on it. CCC President Donald Hangen thanked Mr. Ford for coming to our area in recognition of our twenty-fifth anniversary which coincided with the annual recognition of the Boy Scouts of America’s Eagle ranking members. Visiting Scholar “What is the will to learn?” and “How do we create or fail to create, meaning?” These are questions that have been explored by the next Coming Community Remembering The Beginnings by Prof. Walter R. Smith Driving up form Philadelphia for an interview for a position on the teaching staff of CCC, I remember my first letdown on entering the city seeing the downtown area as it was in 1959. It didn’t look like an inviting place to settle and things looked even bleaker when I drove up Chemung Street to 5th and saw the delapidated red brick school building with a sign in front: Corning Community College. In fact it looked so unpromising that I sat in the car for about ten minutes before regaining enough initiative to go through with the interview. My impressions soon did a 180 degree turn. Bill Perry, the founding president, was a fountain of en-thuisiasm that washed away any doubts or hesitation. It wasn’t fifteen minutes through our conversation before I realized that here was a person who understood the real mission of an educational in- stitution. He had a wonderful mixture of seriousness and whimsy and above all a creative imagination. He saw what CCC could be and would be even in those meagre beginnings. Meeting some of the full time faculty hired in the first year erased any remaining doubts about whether or not I wanted to come to Corning: people like Jack Martin, Herb Gross, Frank Kafker, John Joy, and my good friend and colleague, Bill Thompson, with whom I periodically engage in a friendly debate as to who was hired first. We had offices in bed rooms, labs in garages, and cafeterias in coal bins, and oh yes, a white tiled dean’s office (guess whet this had been). But the spirit was great and the lack of facilities seemed to stimulate both faculty and students to even greater efforts and dedication to the advancement of the college. Of course we rejoice in our beautiful hill top campus and I can remember Bill Perry and I and whoever happened to be loose coming up at lunch time to tramp around the muddy bogs (sometimes losing a shoe in the process) and watching the progress of the construction. We have come a long way, as we were reminded this fall at the dedication of our new Learning Center, and we are thankful for all of the support we have received over these past 25 years. We have a beautiful and well equipped campus that we can all be proud of, and Bill and I and some others who remember those beginnings are also proud of what we accomplished in the face of those difficulties and shortages in the early years. We like to think that a large part of the success that the college has enjoyed and the recognition we have earned started in those years under the leadership of that far seeing and dedicated leader, William L. Perry. He loved all phases of the college (periodically he taught a course in Shakespeare) and left us with a wonderful legacy on which to build. College Visting Scholar, Dr. Robin Beebe.

Her residency will include workshops with area writing students, a visit to Elmira Correctional Facility, a luncheon in her honor, and two public readings of her work. Bom in 1917, Brooks has spent her entire adult life writing and teaching about writing. In 1950, she became the first black author to win the Pulitzer Prize. Her peoms from this period, specifically A Street in Bron-zeville and Annie Allen, were “devoted to small, carefully celebrated, terse portraits of the Black urban poor,” says Richard K. Barksdale. Her later poems are generally thought to show marked change in tone and content. Toni Cade Bambara finds that In the Mecca and subsequent works reflect “a new movement and energy, intensity, richness, power of statement and a new stripped, lean, compressed style. A change of style prompted by a change of mind.” Brooks’ visit will include two readings of her work, both free of charge and open to the public. On May 5, she will read at 8:00 PM at Emerson Theatre, Elmira College. On May 6, she will read at the Senior Citizens Center, 1 Park Lane, Coming. She will respond to questions from the audience following both readings. Brooks’ residency is cosponsored by the Chemung Valley Arts Council, Coming Community College, Coming Public Library, Coming Glassworks Society of Black Professionals, Donovan Academy of the Coming-Painted Post School District, Elmira College, Friends of the Coming Public Library, One Seventy One Cedar Art Center, and Poets and Writers, Inc., which is funded in part by the New York State Council on the Arts.

Jordan II “Time on earth is running out for mankind” according to Dr. Richard Mason , Professor of Physics at Mansfield State College and Director of MSC Planetarium, who was the CCC’s latest Brown Bag Forum speaker on Monday April 25th. Mason was presenting his views and ideas on the future of space colonization, and believes that the inhabitants of earth are using up the natural resources of the planet faster than they can be replaced by natural means. “There is no way we can replenish the finite resources of earth fast enough for the continuation of humanity,” related Mason, “we are removing our ores and minerals from concern trated sources in the crust of the earth and scattering them across the globe so as to make them unavailable and uncollectable by any known means. Once our resources of gas, oil, coal, uranium, etc. are exhausted it will be too late to begin space colonization”. “The time to act”, according to Mason,“is now before we have used up the last of the energy needed to construct space cities. It’s about time we stopped playing this ‘no-win’ game of believing that our cradle earth is capable of supporting us indefinitely.” “We must accept our inheritance of the universe with all its promise and unlimited resources if mankind is to live up to its fullest potential” said Mason. The universe, relates Mason, including the galaxies, the solar systems, the planets, stars and intrastellar gases hold more mineral and energy wealth than ourselves and all our future generations could ever hope to use. But before we can utilize the vast wealth that the universe possesses we must take the first step by beginning space colonization. Our present technology. Mason believes, is completely capable of producing large cities in space. With space colinization, Mason continues, we could be able to control our environment completely. Space cities would make for cleaner, healthier living than could ever be available on earth. This control of our environment would mean clean air, clean water and healthy food. Mankind’s venture into space will also produce unlimited freedom with an unlimited frontier. The place for the start of space colonization, Mason believes, lies not with auspices of our government but, instead, with private industry and private enterprise. Our government can aid in the speedup of space colonization by offering tax incentives to private enterprise investing in space oriented industries and by introducing space colonization legislation. Again, stressed Mason, we must accept our heritage of the universe if mankind is to become everything it has the i . potential to become. The Crier published by the students of Corning Community College Co-Editors-In-Chief..............................Tom Kahler, Lee Huftalen Advertising manager.........................................Anne Caratelfi Business Manager...........................................Amy Heyworth Staff Deborah Diuse, Todd Chichester, Sonny Wood JKevin Burket, Scott Iddings Tracy Allen, Donna Piper, Robert Jordan II, Gail VanCise Faculty Advisor Betty White by Tracy Allen Hero-1 has the basic functions of a human being. He has wheels to walk, an arm with a wrist and pinching fingers, and ear, an eye, and a brain. He has a head that turns all the way around. Hero-1 is sensitive to light. He will tell you where the light is the brightest in the room and tell you, “Please turn off that light, it hurts my eyes.” He can sing. He sang “Happy Birthday” to CCC’s Meta Spiegler, even though her birthday isn’t until next month. He is sensitive to sound too. If someone makes a noise in the room, Hero-1 will say, “Hello, is anyone there?” If no one answers him or moves, he will go back to sleep. Yes, Hero-1 needs his sleep too. He can be ordered ed to say or do anything the programmer wants him to. He even speaks foreign languages. He reminds people once in a while that, “Computers don’t make mistakes, human beings do.” Hero-1 does not do windows. He is a terrific security system. He can tell you if something is too close or too far away, (a perception of distance). He has a problem flying without his clothes (outer casing) on. He looks like a time-bomb. In order to get through security, (he would have to be boxed for protection), police would have to check the box. He was programmed to go to sleep until he saw light. When the box was opened, Hero-1 would wake up and say “Ah, it feels so good to get out of this God Damned box.” He convinced security that he was indeed a computer and was able to travel on the plane. This Brown Bag Forum (May 2) was an interesting one. I like Hero-1. He is our friend of the future.

In the name of ‘national conscience’ (which has a striking similarity to ‘the general will) it can ignore state lines and private rights, extend its power into every comer of the land and impose it directly on every individual. It thus becomes a total government, bound by no restraints other than those voluntarily assumed by the man temporarily in command." These profound words are the very essence of the philosophy of a man named Tom Charles Huston. In July of 1970 Huston submitted a list of proposals to then FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, President Richard Nixon, and Attorney General John Mitchell. Huston’s proposals, which became known as “the Huston Plan,” called for: (1) intensified electronic surveillance of both “domestic security threats” and foreign ♦diplomats: (21 the monitoring of American citizens using international communications facilities; (3) increased legal “mail coverage” (the examination of envelopes to determine sender, postmark, etc.) and a relaxation of restrictions on illegal mail coverage (opening and reading); (4) more informants on college campuses; (5) the lifting of restrictions on “surreptitious entry,” and (6) the establishment of an Interagency Group on Domestic Intelligence and Internal Security, with representatives from the White House, FBI, CIA, NSA, DIA and the three military counter intelligence agencies. It is time now to bring this plan into action and make it a reality. To Mr. Huston’s original plan I would also like to add the following; (7) the establishment of a government agency whose sole purpose shall be the monitoring and subsequent control of the press and all other forms of mass media. To avoid further controversy, each of the points will be dealt with one at a time. The first two points regarding electronic surveillance can be dealt with very simply. Everyone knowledgeable in the field have In Support of Freedom Tom Kahler Elsewhere in this issue of the Crier there is an article entitled “In Support of Repression.” The article is an opinion piece which states that “the American people must surrender a few of their basic freedoms in order to obtain a more ordered society.” Most thinking people dismiss authors of such opinions as belonging to the lunatic fringe. I hope that is the case. However, there are people in our country who favor Wiretapping, opening of private mail, and breaking and entering for the purpose of obtaining potentially incriminating in formation. They are not raving maniacs like Jane Fonda who are ruled solely by their emotions. Instead, they are intelligent people who have come up with a process by which (they believe) a more productive society can be attained. Anyone who favors limiting the rights and freedoms of American citizens is obviously paraniod. An overused word, yes, but nonetheless true. What is it that is so frightening to them? The answer is simple They fear anyone who thinks differently than they do. This fear is best illustrated by the desire to control the mass media. The media represent the ultimate enemy because they provide the means by which divirgent schools of thought are made available to the public. The author of the above- concurred that existing coverage is grossly inadequate. The CIA and the NSA have noted that this is particularly true of diplomatic establishments and of New Left groups. The gathering of information is absolutely vital to keep order. Any threat to society con-stitues danger so it must be discovered and silenced by whatever means necessary. The only problem with increased legal and illegal mail coverage is that if it was discovered, the civil liberties people may become upset but this risk is surely an acceptable one. Most of the mail that would actually be read would be telegrams or letters going to or coming from Communist or unfriendly nations. This action thus becomes justifiable. On the fourth point, informants on college campuses, we must remember that during times of national trouble such as Vietnam, the campus becomes a battle ground of the revolutionary protest movement. It is impossible to gather any effective first-hand information unless there are campus sources. The risk of exposure is minimal, but if mentioned article has overlooked an important point. If the Crier was' controlled by people who were afraid of different ideas and opinions, the article would never have been printed. However, since the Crier is a member of the free press, the article was allowed to be published (regardless of how naive and counter-productive the opinions of its author are). Fortunately, the vast majority of Americans are obviously in favor of retaining their freedoms. If this were not the case, we might as well burn our Constitution and move the Kremlin to Washington D.C. Maybe the Kremlin is more efficient than our government is, but what is the value of a perfectly efficient government that has no regard for’ the freedom of its citizens? exposure does occur the adverse publicity is moderate and short lived. The only truly dangerous point is that involving “surreptitious en try.” This method is clearly illegal for it amounts to nothing but burglary. It is a risky operation and there could be a great amount of embarrassment if exposed, but the type of intelligence that is obtained becomes a fruitful tool because it’s the kind of information that cannot be obtained in any other fashion. As for the interagency group, the need for coordination and increased joint estimates is great and this is the only feasible solution. Lastly is my own point, the monitoring and control of the press and other forms of mass media. This would only be a short-term function until the media finally realizes that they must become objective and their usual “yellow journalism” and irresponsible reporting cannot continue any longer. The damage that the media can do to someone is phenomenal, yet there are no present limitations on the vast power that they were given by the First Amendment of the Constitution. If our “right to bear arms” can be controlled by han-d-gun legislation, then the “freedom of the press” must also be controlled. In short, I am not a communist and in no way do I advocate the overthrow of our present form of government. It is simply being stated that some changes must be made and the American people must surrender a few of their basic freedoms in order to obtain a more ordered society. r ~ Editorials . _________ ^ Terrorism Editorial Criticized Dear Editor When I read Lee Huftalen’s editorial on terrorism in the April 21 issue of the Crier I was mildly amused. Then I realized that some people might not see how misinformed Mr. Huftalen is. First of all, the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for the action wasn't Isreali. The organization suspected supports the current Iranian government. After all, it wouldn’t make much sense for Israel to bomb the embassy of a military supporter, would it? Mr. Huftalen’s statement about a constitutional amendment against political action groups was irresponsible at best, anti-freedom at worst. To begin with, the action did not take place in the United States, therefore our laws do not affect the group’s existence. Even if it had, the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right to organize. It's called “free speech.” I’m sure you remember the Constitution. It was signed by the leaders of a new government, forged by terrorists of a sort. In any case, the terrorist group’s crime was not their existence or political opinion, it was their actions. It is surprising that in this age of repression and conservatism someone would be asking for more restrictive legislation. It’s about time that you guys gathered some information before inflicting your opinions on your readers. Do We Really Have Freedom of Choice? Au Revoir! Steve Post by Scott hidings In the United States, freedom is abundant. The Bill of Rights allows us different freedoms. But do we really have freedom? Can we do anything we want, without obstructing someone else’s freedom? It’s hard to say. In some cases we do have freedom, but in many cases we are so regulate by laws that our freedoms become blurred. Laws are needed to prevent some crimes. No one should be able to rob banks and shoplift.. But some laws aft on the books that deny a person rights to make their own-choice. .Our, country doesn’t trufeh have freedom of choice. Freedom of choice does not allow us to go out into the street and start blasting at everyone with your friendly Saturday Night Special, but it should allow us to do whatever we want to ourselves. If a person wants to go out with their friends and smoke some joints, they should be able to, as long as they are not forcing someone to do it. In Alaska, a person can grow one marijuana plant a year, but they cannot sell their one plant crop. The person is allowed to smoke it himself. In 1973, the Supreme Court made a decision allowing pregnant women to have abortions at will. Although it is a vie;tery for pro-chjDittrs. it really shouldn’t haft beerr appealed all the way to the highest court in the qeimtov Different "'Political^; Action Groups (Such as Right To Life) should not be able to obstruct someone’s rights. The name “Right-To-Life” is almost farcical. The Right—to-Lifers claim that the unborn child should have rights. But how can an unborn child have rights if they aren’t a real citizen? Anti-abortionists claim that life begins at conception, but what if the comception ends in miscarriage? If Pro Lifers say that abortion is murder and that unborn child is a citizen, then we would have give every newly conceived fetus a “Conception Ceriticate.” I am not saying that drugs and abortions should be legal, but that a person should have the right to do as they please, without obstructing- someone else’s rights. ^-5‘. •>* ■%&, % Lee Huftalen It’s time now to get rid of the old and make way for the new.

(NOCR) - Death no longer holds any power over U. of Pennsylvania seniors - but failure strikes fear in every heart. That’s because the latest in the campus survival games challenges seniors to “flunk” each other by placing an “F" sticker on the “target flunkee.” The game, called “The Graduate," is a more civilized version of “Killer,” a contest in which mock assassins shoot their targets with plastic dart guns. A Killer game was discontinued at Penn two years ago when student groups protested its promotion of violence. The Graduate game was organized by the Senior Class Board to provide seniors with a last chance at group fun. Board President Jeff Goldberg hopes the game will also unify the senior class. It’s already encouraging ingenuity, as students create bogus interviews or even phony dates to lure their victims into range. Some students go to elaborate ends, stalking their targets to discover a routine before moving in for the flunk. The lone graduate at the game's end will win $200. In the meantime, there’s no safe place - except the campus gym, the libraries or in class, where a different kind of failure is still possible. Intown Futures Is Coming by Scott hidings Intown Futures: What is it? What will it do for Corning? Where will it be? These are questions Corning residents have been asking about this new project Market Street merchants are undertaking. Intown Futures has two major components. First of all, the Centerway bridge will be renovated and used by pedestrians and/or bike riders, to get across the Chemung River. Other proposed uses for the bridge are to put a train or mini-train to run from Market Street to the Glass Center and' Bridge Street. Also, the Intown Futures people suggested putting in small stands and having a mini marketplace. The second part of the In-town Futures plan is the construction of a downtown parking garage. A parking garage would definitely help downtown Corning, which has been plagued with parkiing problems for many years. The garage is going to create about 450 spaces for downtown shoppers. The Intown Futures Plan has been approved by the Corning Common Council. It will be funded by downtown Corning merchants. Construction on Intown Futures is not expected to begin for awhile, but it is certainly in the future of Corning. Jack and the Beanstalk 10-The Crier, May 5,1983 Adele Simpson Introduces Fashions with Taste of the Past by Gay Pauley UPI Senior Editor NEW YORK (UPI) Adele Sim pson, nearing half a century in New York’s garment industry, dipped into the past but brought it up to the ‘80s in her fall and winter collection shown today. Mrs. Simpson greeted the nation’s buyers and reporters, talked about the endurance of the American woman’s pursuit of good taste, quality, and integrity, and gave full credit to the designer who has taken over at the firm, Donald Hopson. What Hopson produced was a lot of the looks of the 1920’s, the ‘30s, and the ‘40s brought into the 1980s. Even the background music was nostalgic - the big band era of the late‘30s and early ‘40s with Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. “We just thought it was time our guests heard something besides loud rock,” said Mrs. Sim- pson's daughter, Joan Raines, executive vice president of the company. Right out of the 1920s was a costume of slim coat in soft plum wool with a fur collar in sable reaching to the waistline, over a slim print dress in the same tones. The hat was Frank Olive-designed cloche, brimless and face hugging. Also updated from the ‘20s and ‘30s, the flapperish look of street length late day dresses in printed chiffons with fabric draped to hug the hipline, the waistline ignored in .dresses that were gathered through the bodice from a low, round neckline. Other touches from the past: Center back seams for daytime hosiery; and fur neckpieces for slim suits, coats or dresses, as in a gray-white fox skin draped around the neck of a gray-suited model, or a red fox fur on a camel-colored patterned coat and dress outfit. The “cocktail dress” of the 1940’s and ‘50s made a comeback with various versions of short (just below the knee) blacks in crepes, coin dotted silks and other luxury fabrics. These were cut into deep V fronts, bare backs, and many baring the shoulders totally. Simpson showed just as many luxery fabrics in evening pants costumes as in the long, sleek formals, fabrics included bugle beaded crepes. To be noted: The scarves for daytime, long rectangles of fabric, some wide enough to qualify as stoles. The way to wear them was slung over the left shoulder, letting them fall to the hemline. Plaid scarves were coordinated with suit or coat and looked very tartan-ish. There was not one sweater in this collection for a coming season which the trade publications call the year of the sweater. Mrs. Simpson goes her own tasteful way. And she must be doing something right to have weathered the Seventh Avenue wars since the 1930s. Your Dreams Con Come True by Vernon Scott UPI Hollywood Reporter HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - The No. 1 fantasy among American TV viewers today is a trip to Hawaii. That’s the conclusion of Peter Marshall, co-host of the daytime “Fantasy” series which fulfills the dreams of its viewers by granting them -within reason - their hearts’ desire. Second on the list of fantasies is a trip to Disneyland and third is ownership of a microwave oven. “Fantasy” is deluged with 75,000 letters a week from viewers seeking to assuage lifelong yearnings, whether they be reunions with missing relatives or crass wish-fulfillment for a new car. A dozen or more people a day are gratified at the NBC Burbank Studios where “Fantasy” is taped or in their home towns where a mobile crew drops in with cameras to deliver the goodies. The hour-long show is a veritable cornucopia of cars, diamond rings, fur coats, kitchen applainces, furniture and other items distributed with flourish and glitz by Marshall and co-host Leslie Uggams. In the studio Marshall distributes Fantasy Fortune Cookies with little notes good for rings, cars, watches and appliances for worthies who previously had written in, or those who show up with a touching story. There is a Fantasy Fountain filled with $100,000 in $50 bills. A lucky member of the audience is allowed to keep as much as he or she can grab out of the air in 20 seconds. The record sc icn $14,000. The Fantasy Spotlight affords would-be singers a chance for "network exposure. Fantasy Write-a-Check is a game in which four persons have an opportunity to pick up a fast $900. FantasyGrams are flashed on the screen announcing to a viewer in some far-flung comer of America the fulfillment of his or her fantasy. Most impressive is the Fantasy Truck with Meredith MacRae and Chris Lemmon aboard as roving hosts. It travels the country taping worthy viewers who have written to the show about their fantasies. “The key to realizing fantasies is that the people are sincere, deserving and good folks who deserve to see their dreams come true,” Marshall said. “Most people who write are unselfish, asking us to fulfill the fantasy of a friend or relative - people who have made sacrifices in their lives for others. “We want people on the show viewers can root for, solid citizens who can use a break in life.” There are some off-beat fantasies, too. Marshall discovered four men in the audience who wanted to skydive. They were trained and soon thereafter parachuted. Climbs Its Way to Clemens Center What has a seven-and-a-half foot giant, a glamerous goose who lays golden eggs before your eyes, and a life-sezed cow? It’s Jack and the Beanstalk, a new Cham ber opera performed by New York City’s Broque Opera Company, which will be appearing at the Clemens Center on Saturday, May 7, at 2:00 PM. This program is being supported in part by Tops Friendly Markets. In reviewing the world premiere last spring, the New York Times called Jack “tremendous fun..., a treatment of the familiar fairy tale that worked brilliantly as theatre... The production is graced not only with many fine voices but also some highly inventive staging and costuming.” A fidget-proof program of opera Jack (nmhin« music with dance , mime, and drama.

One lady’s fantasy was to have her boyfriend propose on the show. The swain arrived and was offered a Paris honeymoon, a diamond ring for his lady and other inducements if he would pop the question. Marshall gave him an hour to make up his mind. When the big moment came, the guy said no. Marshall gave the Paris trip to the lady anyhow, suggesting she take someone else. “We have lots of fun along with drama on the show,” Marshall said. “Most people have limited fantasies. Trips to Hawaii and Disneyland are tops. What surprises us most is the popularity of microwave ovens.” Marshall finds hosting “Fantasy” exhausting after 15 years as host of the popular “Hollywood Squares.” “This show takes more time and is much more complicated and demanding,” Marshall said. “We may have our corny moments, but I love meeting so many people and talking to them about their fantasies. “Ours isn’t really a game show. I think of it as a “people’ show. After ‘Hollywood Squares’ went to nights, I swore I’d never go back to daytime TV. “But Fantasy’ has so much going for it I just couldn’t pass iHjp. Itvs produced by Merill Heater, the same man who did ‘Squares.’ We have something different going every minute. “Our ratings are pretty good but they’ve put us in the Death Valley spot - opposite The Guiding Light’ and ‘General Hospital,’ two of the most popular soap operas on the air. “If NBC gives this show the proper chance it could go on forever. I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in a prime time slot.” THE FRONT ROW by Kevin Burket For all devoted followers of Ray Bradbury comes the adaptation of “Something Wicked This Way Comes,”, a major motion picture by Walt Disney Productions. By all means this is not your run-of-the-mill Disney film with cute animals or funny cartoons. This is a nightmarish, masterpiece about a CtriiivaTcoming to town. An event which usuaHy heralds joy attf teppthess feriqgs terror and uigMfr instead M ' This fihn -stars the Tony Award-winner Jonathan Pryce in his American film debut as the devilish ringmaster, Mr. Dark. His evil accomplice is Pam Grier as the hauntingly beautiful Dust Witch. The hero of the movie is played by two-time Oscar winner Jason Robards as Charles Halloway, the mild-mannered town librarian who alone summons the inner strength necessary to defeat the evil carnival and its sinister ringmaster. On a cloudy October day, the Mysterious lightning rod salesman Tom Fury proclaims the arrival of the fiendish and wicked visitors. His only audience js two boys - Will HaUow^y and Jim Nightshade, (the boys were excellently portrayed by newcomers Vidal Peterson and Shawn Carson). The two decide to investigate the mysterious traveling show, discover its ghastly secret and expose the horrifying truth. Despite their efforts, the townspeople are drawn into the evil menagerie which is Dark's Pandemoniom Carnival. They later discover that although there are those who can make dreams come true, it’s hardly ever worth the price. All the ingredients for a perfect blend seem to be on hand for this, motion picture^ Fine actors and actrenas and (fczzling special effects make “Something Wicked” a joy to watch. The special effects include everything from 500 tarantulas to computer graphics animation, which is many steps beyond the level that was last seen in Disney’s TRON. There is a certain unique quality to this film. It has an appeal on philosophical level of life and death and of the warmth of a father-and-son relationship. It certainly has a healthy amount of terror which is projected through suggestion rather than something as blatant as a monster and a great deal of gore, ^ To summarize the film would be an impossible task except to say that it’s afxxit life and death, happiness and sadness, age' arid youth, and love and v hate And with alt of those qualities, and special effects too, what more can you possibly want? . €96 L ‘Z l/ojb/j (0L sBuwoois pay ijeuuiouiQ (6 p/ai/Su/M jaiie//\ jo/en (g SMaqiiew aippg (l 996L (9 (8961-1961) 338,0 a.'HIM (9 0P6L (V sjaButj an/oy (£ uado ueiiBJtsnv pue ‘uado L/ouajj ‘uado Stl aip ‘uopa/quiiM IB diqsuoid ■Luet/o sa/Bufs Butuu/M (Z unojJBH Aey (i f:' yno sijods sf uttos oi sjaMsby Jk ' *- i 11-The Crier, May 5,1983 Men’s Baseball Team Loses Six by Scott Iddmgs The Coming Community 'College Men’s Baseball team recently dropped six games.

Make-Up Tips For Contact Lens Wearers One of the questions most frequently asked of eye doctors by their female patients is, “How do I apply make-up if I wear contact lenses?”. It’s really quite easy if you follow a few simple guidelines. Q - Do I apply Make-up before or after putting contact lenses in my eyes? A - In the case of daily-wear lenses (hard and soft) insert lenses before applying make-up. It’s even easier with extended-wear lenses which, because of their higher water content (up to 71 percent), can be left in the eyes day and night, for up to two weeks. When you wake up, wash your face and apply make-up as usual. Q - Can I still wear Mascara with contact lenses? A - According to Ronnee Medow, optical technician for a New York ophthalmologist, the best kind of mascara contains no lash-building fibers that may drift into the eyes and cause discomfort. “Several coats of colorenhancing mascara can achieve the desired lengthening effect without the irritation caused by loose fibers.” Q - What if mascara or some other kind of make-up gets on the lens itself? A - Simply remove and clean the lens. Q -1 usually line my inner eyelid with an oil-based crayon. Can I continue this practice with contact lenses? A - “Lining the inner, mucous membrane portion of the lower eyelid is not recommended by eye doctors,” says Medow. “It will produce tears in most eyes, indicating stimulation of the body’s own natural defenses.

BLAKE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL 2020 - 39th Street West Bradenton. Florida 33*>29 (813) "'92-661 1 HCA Hospital Corporation of America equal opportunity employer USFL Expands Amid Controversy PITTSBURGH (UPI) - The sports empire of shopping mall magnate Edward J. DeBartolo Sr. has grown with the addition of a Pittsburgh franchise in the fledgling United States Football League. But whether it stays at its new three-team status or shrinks back to two in the near future remains to be seen. The announcement Thursday by USFL Commissioner Chet Simmons that Pittsburgh will field a professional football team besides its beloved Steelers in 1984 was greeted by rampant reports DeBartolo was already hoping to sell it. “The franchise is Mr. DeBar-tolo’s and I can speak of nothing else other than that,” Simmons said. “The application (for a team) was processed under his name individually. We have accepted, his name and his franchise.” The media speculation hinged on a report that Debartolo’s son, Edward Jr., owner of the San Francisco 49ers, has a clause in his NFL contract no other mem ber of his family can have an interest in another pro football team. The report also had the elder DeBartolo possibly selling his USFL acquisition to James Roddy, a former president of Turner Communication and now the head of Allegheny Media in Pittsburgh. When asked whether he would consider such a sale, Simmons said he thought it “really very premature to consider any sale.” DeBartolo could not be reached for comment. Roddy said he is interested but has made no offer to DeBartolo. “The DeBartolos have indicated they are going to run the franchise,” Roddy said. “We understand there are pressures from the other league, and should they (DeBartolo) decide to consider another option we would be interested in talking with them. We have expressed that interest to them.” DeBartolo Sr. also owns the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League, the Pittsburgh Spirit of the Major Indoor Soccer League and three race tracks. In addition he heads the corporation that runs the Civic Arena, where the Penguins and Spirit play. Simmons said despite the “tremendous pressure” exerted on DeBartolo for a reported conflict of interest in owning the new team, the USFL saw no problems and, in fact, welcomed “the benefit from his experience.” “We see no conflict,” Simmons said. “Mr. DeBartoio’s application (for ownership) was accepted unanimously by the owners of the USFL.” outer, lower lid, just below the lash line, with a water-based eyeliner is the safest approach, followed second by using an oil-based stick well on the outside of the lash line.” Q - If I wear extended-wear lenses, should I use oil or water-based make-up? A - Both Schnitt and Medow agree that the best shadow for contact lens wearers is water-based shadow which is either pressed powder that goes on dry, or powder that is mixed with water, then applied. If water-based shadow does wander into the eye, natural tear action will wash the particles *r the comers of the eye, where t. ,oy will naturally flush out. In general, the higher the water content of the lens, the more comfortable you will be wearing makeup. Q - Should I use soap and water, oil or cold cream to remove make- up? A - Medow suggests using whatever you use normally, taking the usual care not to get any substance other than water in your eye. That’s why water-based make-up is best. If you accidentally get some in your eyes, it flushes clean with water.

NCAA takes over romens sports The NCAA's move last fall to take over women's athletics has been upheld in federal court. The AIAW (Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women) has con- tested the move on anti-trust grounds. The NCAA is now running both male and female athletic programs, having successfully nudged out the fledgling competition. In 1982, the NCAA's university representatives voted to end the division of their athletic departments.
