Vol. XXX, September 30, 1987 State Announces Grants to Part-time Students Index EDITORIALS page 2 STUDENT NEWS page 3 CLUB NEWS page 4 COMMUNITY NEWS page 5 PROFILE page 6 CAR TOONS page 8 SPORTS page 11 ENTERTAINMENT page 12 News Release The New York State, Higher Education Services Corporation (HESC) has allocated proportional shares of the eleven million dollars appropriated for the State's Aid for Part-time Study program to 173 New York State colleges for the 1987-88 academic year, HESC President Dr. Dolores E. Cross announced The funds, which will be used to provide grants to eligible part-time undergraduate students, are distributed in proportion to each school's percentage of the total enrollment at all participating institutions. In announcing the allocations for the coming school year, Dr. Cross noted that more than 7,000 undergraduate part-time students in a small cramped corner of the Commons. Although students were able to use this service, the office was difficult to find, and space was at a premium. Ronnie Bayer Lipp, Career Counselor, tells me that with the larger accommodations, college, and as a staff, we all very much enjoy what we're doing." Special Services began in 1984 at CCC by way of a Title IV federal grant and is beginning it's fourth year. The project assists first-generation college students and supports received Aid for Part-time Study (APTS) grants during the 1986-87 academic year, and she advised part-time students to apply for the need-based aid. " With many students returning to classes this week for the start of the fall semester, " Dr. Cross said, " we once again urge students to take advantage of the APTS program. " the staff will now be holding weekly Transfer Information Workshops. Later the Center will hold workshops in career opportunities, and how to search for a job. There is now, a lot more material available to help students with all phases of handicapped students with academic and career support. "Our students do, indeed, graduate -some with program honors - and are on the dean's list on a regular basis. Also, a good number of our student population transfers and works towards " If you are attending college part-time or considering part-time study you should check with your school's financial aid administrator to find out if the school participates in the APTS program and whether you qualify for a grant. Depending on your income, you could qualify for an award of up cont'd., page 7 college, and career planning that they can use themselves.

It is larger, brighter, more visible, and expanded in scope. In case you think that this is a new service on campus, folks, it is not. It has merely been hidden in the past Special Services Enthusiastic by Rob Tarlach Special Services Project Director Diann Piersons expressed enthusiasm for the program's goals in a recent interview: "The Project is a place where students who have experienced academic difficulty can find assistance to be successful in The Crier Page 2 Mayor Ed Koch (D) has always been known for his brassy, no-holds-barred, street-wise language and politics. An orator he's not; a suave gentleman he's not. Styles aside, he is a politician, a leader and a public spokesman, nonetheless. Recently three black youths were attacked in Brooklyn by approximately twenty white youths wielding bats, a pipe and a fluorescent bulb. The attack was unprovoked, senseless and racially motivated ( if the attackers' language is a fair indication as to their purpose ). Mayor Koch expressed outrage, calling the attack "terrible". He stated, as reported in the September 4 edition of the New York Times, that the public should EDITORIAL experience the same sense of anger at such attacks, no matter the race(s) involved. Amen. In a news broadcast televised that same day, however, Mayor Koch's outrage poured forth in a manner totally unacceptable, especially for someone in his position. Shown in the broadcast were Mayor Koch, reared back in his office chair, the perfect executive stance, and the three youths who were assaulted. As the camera moved in Koch smiled broadly and said, " I told the boys, 'Boys, the next time this happens, take a stick and beat the sh— out of them, ' didn't I, boys? " ( I wonder if anyone ever told Bernard Goetz that? ) Last June thirteen black youths were arrested after a similar incident ( insofar as weapons and racial motivation ) occurred in the same neighborhood. The police believe there is no connection between the two incidents but neighborhood residents report rising racial tensions. Whether or not they are related involves too many variables to ever ascertain the truth.. But racial prejudice, arising out of fear and ignorance, is a deep-seated monster with an ugly head when it surfaces. Mayor Koch's remarks were entirely inappropriate, approaching a slur, and who knows that those words have the potential to plant that seed of hatred and vengeance, emotions fathered by the same insecurities as prejudice, in the hearts and minds of those young men. Hopefully, they are above that type of vigilante mindset. I believe they are. One of them, when asked by a reporter to comment on the Mayor's advice, remarked that " two wrongs don't make a right ". Amen, again. Maybe Koch's recent stroke had something to do with his increased cynicism. After all, he probably realized his own mortality at that point to a greater degree than ever before and that realization is a fearful one for many. At any rate, violence is not the same as self-defense and it is not the answer; the victims knew that. Prosecuting the criminals to the fullest extent of the law is our accepted method of treatment of such acts. Beyond that, Employee of the Issue For her unlimited enthusiasm and unswerving dedication we are proud to bestow the above title on our Chief Photographer, Beth Bennett. Congats, Beth. Keep up the good work. 'Byron Shaw, Richard Luce & friend September 30, 1987 alerting our young to the fact that all men are equal regardless, Regardless, REGARDLESS of something as insignificant as skin color, is the answer. I applaud the young man's sense of moral responsibility and refusal to accept retaliatory intentions as an optional response to the situation. Perhaps Mayor Koch should hire him as an advisor, or even step down so that common sense could prevail under the youngster's administration. My satirical suggestions aside, though, maybe Koch, and we all, could learn something from the young man's attitude of forgiveness. Whatever the case, Dr. King and God Himself smile down on you, young brother.

It was then and is now a noon-time program series. The programs and speakers are varied. The premise was to bring to students, faculty, and the community topics of interest. The first guest speakers were Mr. William McCauley and Mr. Douglas Lewis. The topic was Air Traffic Controllers: The Job and Stress. It was a very important topic. These men were just two of many who lost their jobs over the air traffic controllers strike. A point of interest to come from that first program, was William McCauley became a student here and trained for a new career. The idea of Brown Bag Forum began when Meta Spiegler was given the assignment to pursue a specific series to broaden students' horizons beyond the classroom. Until 1981, Brown Bag Forum was done occasionally but took form under Meta's direction. The Brown Bag Forum has been able to criss-cross America's interests and controversies. Such topics as surrogate motherhood, and sustaining life have been explored. The range of Brown Bag Forum is not limited. It is a careful blending of social problems, arts, communication, and entertainment. Brown Bag Forum is presented free of charge. It is a great opportunity for everyone to enjoy dance, laugh, voice opinion, or simply listen. It is usually held on Thursday at 12:30 in the large lounge. Social events, such as Theater Ballet, are held in the gym. As the name implies, Brown Bag Forum is meant to be an informal lunch time gathering. Students are welcome to bring their lunches into the lounge. Events held in the gym do not have facilities for lunch. The forums are held once a month or as often as can be scheduled. The forums also try to deal with topics that deal with CCC programs; such as a robot for those interested in robotics, and the FBI for those in criminal justice. Another forum dealing with aid to the contras will be held September 30. The speakers for that will be CCC Professor Walter Smith, and actor Robert Foxworth. Brown Bag Forum has a very exciting history and an as equally exciting future. Brown Bag Forum is also open to suggestions and ideas. All the forums are meant to inform in one way or another.

Hands, Hands by Tina Hughes The Crier is starting this year with an entirely new Editorial Board, a larger staff, and new ideas to interest everyone. The Editor, Al Hughes, says he is, "greatly impressed with the enthusiasm of the members. He also said, "Our goals are to improve the quality of the newspaper, in a general sense, by expanding the coverage and refining the layout.

Photo by Beth Bennett and his Formula V Photo by Al Tarlach by Beverly Petix Bob Dugo will never be stereotyped. He is a Certified Public Accountant, but he is neither dull nor straitlaced. In fact, he is quite witty and charming. If you listen to him discuss the rigors of accounting, you will gain a new respect for his field. The preparation is arduous, the certification process is very difficult, the work is, hectic (the money is good!), and the need for qualified public accountants is rapidly growing. Bob Dugo is also a college professor preparing future business leaders. Currently, he teaches Accounting, Business Law, and tax courses. He speaks with great pride about former CCC students who have gone on to successful careers in accounting. This pride seems to stem not from ego, but from the enjoyment of seeing students succeed. Many of his current students have described him as an "energetic professor," and one who uses real life experiences to enhance their learning. "He made Business Law painless," reported one of his former students. Besides his role as accountant and professor, he is also a wining race car driver. At 46, Bob Dugo is not the typical racer. He is not blonde, blue-eyed and from Malibu Beach, nor is he the son of a race car driver. But he speaks passionately and openly about his love for the sport. "Racing involves extreme concentration," he said. "When you are getting ready for a race, you are hyped-up, you are scared. But the minute the race begins, the fear leaves and you just concentrate on driving." He described a race in which his ribs were cracked, not from an accident, but from the sheer power of the G force. His "Shannon Formula Super V", built in Ireland and the only one in the U.S., is named the "Wooden Nickel." He races the Northeastern circuit 12 to 15 times a year, at a cost of $30,000 to $50,000 per year. The engine of the car costs $14,000. This six time New York State Champion would like to expand his racing circuit but that would take a sponsor willing to spend about $500,000 a year to back Dugo and his crew. Don't take Bob Dugo's love for racing as an indication that he promotes unsafe driving speeds on the highway. Should you be speeding in the Village or Town of Bath, His Honor Robert Dugo will not hesitate to convict you in his court. That's right...Bob Dugo is also a judge! The Crier page 7 Grants, cont’d. to $2000.00 per year. " For dependent students the income eligibility ceiling for an APTS award is $22,000 taxable income per year; for independent students the income limit is $15,000 annually. To be considered for an APTS grant a student must also: * have completed at least six credit hours or the equivalent; * be enrolled or accepted for enrollment in an approved undergraduate degree program or registered certificate diploma program; * be a resident of New York State; *be either a U.S. citizen, permanent resident alien or refuge; * apply fora Pell grant; * have a tuition charge of at least $100 per year; and, * not have used up Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) grants or your eligibility for other New York State student financial aid. The Aid for Part-time Study program is a college-based program. Recipients are selected by participating colleges and awards are made through each college offering the program. The award amount is determined by the student's need and the amount of APTS funding available at the college, but awards cannot exceed the student's tuition charges. The New York State Higher Education Services Corporation is the State student financial aid agency for New York. HE SC administers the federal Guaranteed Student Loan Program and also provides aid in the form of grants, scholarships, and fellowships for full-time and part-time students in approved colleges, business, and vocational schools. Last year, HE SC provided more than $1.2 billion in financial aid to more than 750,000 students. HESC also researches and reports on the effects of student financial aid in providing access to postsecondary educational opportunities.

The skill levels range f rom beginner to advanced so all are able to participate. Mr. Neal Bulkley is in charge of the event and he is excited about the number of students who will be playing. This is a great chance to see just how good that game of yours is. Of course, you may not even have a game yet, but you always learn from experience. Even though it's too late to sign up for this semester's tournament, anyone interested should sign up for future tournaments. The winners of the current tournament will be posted in the next edition of this newspaper. by Jennifer Johnston Skating: a means of transportation dto some a way of life to others. After suffering a fractured fibula this summe r , 1 began to see skating in a different light. I started a survey asking people why they skated. I did not get answers like Well the doc says i should skate after every meal, or my parents are making me do it. I found that skating did not improve anyone's math skills in the slightest. Wha t everyone did say, was that they skated because it was fun and that was the only reason. Skating, unlike any other sport provides for great self-expression. There are no rules for skating. Even when performing other people's tricks, there is always room to create your own.Take a look downtown, local skating enhances historic Market Street. Wh a t better way to discover Corning than on your ska teboard ? People who condemn and riducle skating for what it's not should take a look around and see skating for what it is. Skating is skating and nothing else. The people who don"t like skating probably also complained about that rock-n-roll drubbish in the 50's. by Jim Recotta STRIKE TWO -but the funny thing is we're not talking about baseball; it's the NFL strike of 1987. Today, 28 teams hit the fields in the hopes of creating, in 24 hours, a new football league. These changes occurred Monday when the strike became a reality. No one in management is pretending that quickly assembled teams of free agents can be molded into NFL-calibre units by Oct. 4, the planned start for alternative football. Ha. I think not, either. Many NFL coaches are hopeful that the very sudden change in staff will be successful. Granted, not NFL material but a t least they have the people to play the game. Denver Broncos' owner Pat Boulen didn't sound like a man anticipating fun. "We've got a very tight relationship here in Denver," Boulen said of management and players. "I think they are as upset about it as we are. They don't wan t to go on strike ove r free agency, but I think they're doing what they have to do. I want my guys to stay together. They should probably strike as a team." "I expect the fans will be tough on us," another owner remarked.

The Crier Page 12 ENTER TAIN 30,1987 Heavy Metal Newsdiving by Jessica Harley ■Vinyl in Review- Savatage has just released their fifth album entitled "Hall of the Mountain King". It's definitely the release from this band we've all been waiting for. After "Fight for the Rock", truthfully, I had my doubts. But rest assured - they're back and better than ever! Jon Oliva ' s strong vocals and Criss ' s classy riffs leave one with hints of earlier material as we11 as introducing a new, even more striking, more powerful, side. This lp is sure to give this sadly under-rated band the recognition they richly deserve. Heathen's "Breaking the Silence" is a brilliant debut with catchy riffs and choruses; definitely one of the best releases this year. "Breaking the Silence" delivers the element of thrash and speed combined with melody and musicianship from five outrageously talented individuals. Killer tracks - "Death by Hanging", "Open the Grave" and "Set Me Free". -Metal News- Scorpions just recorded an album in Germany appropriately entitled "Don't Stop at the Top". It was mixed by Dieter Derks and should be released in the next few months. Former Iron Maiden lead singer Paul DiAnno will be releasing a follow-up to "The Battlezone" lp.It's entitled "Children of Madness" and is due out this month. I got ahold of an advance cassette and, let me tell you, Paul DiAnno never sounded better.

The once black hair was gray. It was time now. He had taken a week of "vacation" from the N.S.C. It had turned out to be the most intensive period of study in his life. With a trained eye, he had gone over every major gove rnmenta1 administration in recorded history, closely studying cause and effect relationships. Now he was acting on the conclusion that he knew the letters would explain. The President had wanted to see his old friend immediately the morning he returned to his job. Wembley also wished to see the President, but for a different reason. With a steady, deliberate stride, he walked to the White House gate, his black, polished shoes echoing on the pavement. Passing the two black COMING SOON, REAL SOON... Above and Beyond Section; Question and Answer Forum, and A Special Edition (Open House) due out October 4,1987 guards, he smiled slightly, for he had passed without them finding what he hid. He was not nervous, much to his surprise. His heart beat steadily, he had no problem meeting gazes, and he wasn't sweating at all. Those that knew him marveled at how he had changed. He glided up the steps effortlessly, like a wraith walking on air. As he passed into the hallway leading to the cabinet meeting, his face adopted a look of such fierceness that many stepped backwards at his approach. His whole mind was bent on the tak at hand. Stepping into the room, his heart leapt — every major departmental head was assembled with the President! He was going to make history! He had come to the conclusion that this country must fall in order to save the world from annihlation. The room fell into a deadly______ silence, a few shifted in their chairs, casting uneasy glances from behind their glasses at this strange man. A rumbling baritone voice rolled a "Hello" accross the silence — that was the President. Wembley had only one thing to say: "Good morning my hypocri t ica1 thieves of the world, I am the Grim Reaper." He bit down on the pill he had hid in his mouth and exhaled the deadly gas. The last thing he say was the look of horror and shock on the dying Presidents face, then darkness came and a warm feeling of satisfaction. Anarchy ruled.

Bookstore Merges, Remains Open by Al Hughes The Used Bookstore , formerly scheduled to close its doors on September 15, 1987, will remain open, operating in conjunction with Student Run Business (SRB) and the Business Club.

The bookstore will once again change locations and as of Sept. 22, 1987, will be operating in room R138. The Career Development Center will remain in the lower level of the Commons.
