CCC signs Brockport
By Dianne Heiler
Corning Community College signed a unique articulation agreement on November 8th which will allow nursing students to complete their junior year at CCC	and enter SUNY
Brockport as seniors.
This agreement allows for nursing sophomores to stay at CCC for one more calendar year and take	their	liberal
arts, sciences, and computer courses. Beginning with the senior year, students will be able	to	transfer
credits directly to the Brockport Nursing Program and take the final courses	needed	to
graduate	with	a
bachelor	degree.
According	to	Jack
Kelly,	Dean	of
Students,	this	gives
students an opportunity to "stay in a hometown network	at	hometown
prices	and	get the
background education.”
The idea	of the contract	was	proposed
about	18 months	ago by
the SUNY	Council of
Nursing	Education.
Numerous	discussions
and meetings with CCC's Director	of Nursing,
Anita	Ogden,	were
conducted and resulted in a sample curriculum.
Brockport currently has other	transfer	guarantee	programs	with
various	two-year
schools	and	sub-
sequently , decided to establish one. .	with
CCC.	According to
Ogden, "The advantage of a SUNY sister is that students get to learn from the expertise of qualified professors and share in an invaluable experience."
CCC's President, Dr. Donald Hangen, commends Ogden	and	her
professors on the high standards set for performance in every course. Hangen went on to say that "students who do not meet these standards get personally evaluated so that they may know where they stand in relation to their progress other that by letter grades. The agreement will take away the worries and problems	associated
with transferring."
According to Dr. Diane Elliot, Chairperson at Brockport, students who transfer within the agreement became "tried and tested". Students became "motivated learners" because they mature into adults of their profession and are "exciting to teach. " Moreover, they become a challenge to faculty" because the objectives of the courses take on a deeper meaning to each individual. Also, students grow through different learning experiences which deal seriously with life and death; therefore, they become better prepared to face professional employment.
Another advantage of the agreement, taking into consideration that Brockport is a suburb of Rochester, is that students recognize the tremendous shortage of health care professionals in the metropolitan area. They understand the importance and the need for many job opportunities associated with their major. Furthermore, increasing numbers	of	hospitals
recognize the need for professionals and, consequently, offer scholarships	to	qualified
students. These opportunities attract professional nurses with greater	educational
backgrounds (in terms of nursing leadership) back to our area. This does not, of course, isolate	job	opportun-
ities to the New York State region. It also encompasses the problem on a nationwide basis.
Dean Reimanis affirms that the agreement is
"consistent with articulation agreements in that it was fostered to provide unique opportunities and options to students by looking closely at what they want and need." Dean Kelly stated that he "couldn't be more pleased" with the agreement.	Dr.
Hangen's final comments reveal his feeling that the agreement "takes it one step further than paper. It allows students to be identified early and have a liaison with Brockport. It ties the student to Brockport;	thereby,
allowing the student to make a decision early and work towards that as a goal." Ogden says that "This is a part of our continuing efforts to meet the educational needs of those in our community." Students interested in the program are encouraged to contact Ogden for more information.

Student Government gears up for massive food drive
By Keith Dewey
The spirit of the holiday season will sweep through	Corning
Community College early this year, as Student Government gears up for a massive food drive.
Throughout the entire week of December 5th-9th, the front lobby and Student Activities Office of the Commons will function as a temporary food pantry for the collection of home and health aids, canned and boxed foods. Once collected, these goods will be taken to the Southern Tier Community Food Drive Bank where they will be earmarked	for
distribution between Chemung, Steuben, and Schuyler counties.
Student	Government
requests that those students and faculty who wish to donate should take food to the Student	Activities
Office between 10am-2pm. Before and after that time period, the food should be given to the people working the booth in the Commons.
At the end of the month, a work schedule of 1-hour shifts will be passed around the campus. This is so that those who cannot
donate can offer their time instead.
Hard work and planning have already gone into the food drive since its conception. Nancy Andrews, Director of Campus Programs, said, "This project is a great example of students assuming responsibility for community service. It exemplifies our philosophy of providing a learning environment for student leaders to become community leaders."
The College's Public Relations Department and WCEB radio station have been utilized to promote the event. Posters, flyers and word-of-mouth may be used even more during the next month. A ten-minute slideshow will be shown during one of the Student Government meetings.
Woody
Coordinator Activities, find it a
Knowles, of Student said, "I very coura-
geous undertaking. If people don't know about it, they won't donate any food."	Student
Government is using every attempt to make sure that	people do
know about	the drive
and that they take part in it.

Faculty and staff at CCC ignore parking tickets
By Michelle Yusko
Out of the $2,825 paid in parking violation fines since September 1987 at CCC, only $5 was paid by a faculty member.
Public Safety officers issued 1,499 tickets for various parking violations on campus during the period September 1987 through August 1988. Of this amount, approximately 10 percent were written against faculty and staff vehicles.
Lt. Robert Reep, Public Safety Operations Officer, said, "Francis Maroney is the only faculty member that I know of who has paid a parking ticket issued by this department."
The reason cited for this discrepancy is the inability of Public Safety to	enforce	fines
against	faculty	and
staff.	Traditionally
these tickets have been perceived by faculty and staff members as a warning, rather than an official citation.
Students, who receive approximately 90 percent of the tickets issued,	cannot	have
their college tran-
scripts until all outstanding tickets are paid.
No policy has ever been made which specifies a deterrent to faculty and staff members who do not pay their fines.
The current ticket policy	was	originated
years	ago	by James
Chapman, presently the director of the Criminal Justice Program. The intent	of the
policy	was	that all
people associated with the	college	would be
subjected to tickets issued	by	Public
Safety.
According to Jack Kelley, Dean of Students, CCC students can appeal to Public Safety if they feel a ticket	is	not	warranted.
They	also	have the
right to appeal next to Dean Kelley.
Faculty and staff can appeal	to	Gunars
Reimanis,	Dean	of the
College, if they object to a ticket. However, since they don't pay	their	tickets,
there seems to be little need for them to appeal them.

Chewing tobacco etiquette angers students and staff at CCC
By Jonathan Bocock
Recently, many people have voiced their concern about chewing tobacco spit in the Commons. Brown tobacco stains can be seen in and around Spencer Pub, particularly in the corners of the pub itself, between the video games, and on the walls outside the men's bathroom .
One of the College custodians, Jake Quick, who has to clean up messes like these said, "It's in the learning center, the classrooms, the bathrooms, on the garbage can tops, and you see little cups with chewing tobacco in them. "
The custodians in the Commons have also voiced their complaints about	where people
choose to spit, such as the sinks, toilets, and walls of the men's bathroom.	Assistant
Director of Custodial, Sam Chilson told the Crier,	"People spit
into	the heating
grates.	They leave
cups of spit on the tables in Spencer Pub, and the dining room, which sometimes get knocked	over by the
people who sit there next. I know it's a big problem, but I don't know what to do about it."
Many people who eat and work in the Commons have complained as well.	Meta Spiegler,
Commons Coordinator,
said, "We're trying to make these students understand that their fellow students would prefer to eat in an atmosphere	without
tobacco chewing and spitting. There have been numerous complaints regarding this behavior."
One of these numerous complaints was made by student Greg Smith who said, "I think it's kind of gross when these	inconsiderate
persons set a 'Thirst Chiller' cup across the pub and spit into it."
It's true that some of the students that chew tobacco do spit into cups, but there are those who miss the cup, or do not use a cup at all.	"They're	even
spitting	into	the
drinking fountains," said Commons Supervisor Mike Monahan.
There are other concerns besides	poor
etiquette,	such	as the
health effects of chewing smokeless tobacco. Prolonged usage of this substance leads to cancerous lesions in the mouth and a whole slew of	other adverse
effects.	When	asked
about this, Professor Jan Gleason, HPER, said, "I encourage all of our students to recognize the addictive nature of all forms of tobacco. Don't start, or quit while you still can."
Changes coming in Program 34
By Dianne Heiler
There will be some changes in the Business Administration curriculum, Program 34, this coming spring. These changes were proposed by John Connelly, of the	Business
Department,	after
completing a study of 15 different four-year college programs to which CCC students transfer most.	The
information examined spans the years 1975 to 1985.
According to Connelly, "Catalogues were ordered	from these
colleges and their business programs were examined in	depth	to
determine what they require	of their
students in	the first
two years."	As	a
result, "a list of recommended changes in Program 34 was composed which would	help	to
coordinate	CCC's
program	with the
majority of those schools."
This will help CCC students	maximize
transfer credits and minimize the time to complete their B.S. or B.A. degree. "It will also allow students to compete more effectively by giving them the proper foundation course work for their junior and senior years," he said.
Six out seven r have bee CCC curri tee. Program be requi AC103-104 EC201-202 EN105-106

Business Law II, and MG270 Quantitative Aids to Management. Futher-more,	the	free
electives have been reduced from 4 cr. hrs to 1 cr. hrs.
These changes will not affect the total number of credit hours needed to graduate, but the the distribution of the credit hours now leans heavier to the required course and less to the free electives.
The only recommendation that was not adopted was that to reduce AC103 and AC104 to three credit hours each.	Connelly
supported the change because only two of the 15 schools examined require eight hours of Accounting, ‘ and 13 require six or less and six is the norm. However, the proposal was rejected.

OPINION
November 17,1988
From the desk of the editor.
Discrimination is an ugly word these days.
It is also a sad fact of life in the real world and on college campuses.
We all practice it; some of us intentionally and some of us unintentionally. It is the CRIER's hope that Corning Community College is practicing it unintentionally.
The target group for discrimination on this campus is the students who smoke. These students pay the same tuition as nonsmoking students, but do not have the same rights.'
Smoking students are given only one designated area in which they may smoke--the Commons. Time between classes does not easily permit students to run to the Commons for a cigarette.
Students who smoke are forced to stand outside the various campus buildings in order to have a cigarette before class.
During the winter months, students will have to stand in the cold rain and snow outside these buildings to smoke.
Yet inside each building there will be faculty members who are allowed to smoke in their offices according to separate regulations .
CCC staff members have their own separate indoor smoking rooms.
We do not ask that smoking faculty and staff members be penalized for decisions they made regarding smoking many years ago. But nor should students be penalized.
The Dean Speaks
By Gunars Reimanis, Ph.d
Many nations hold harvest festivals to celebrate the end of nature's growing season, but we are among the very few who have a special day for giving thanks. Many of you have celebrated Thanksgiving Day as long as you can remember, and for some of you the day's activities have become a much practiced ritual: get a few days, off from work or school, eat turkey with cranberry sauce and stuffing, hide the bathroom scale for a few days, and keep Alka Seltzer handy.
For this year's Thanksgiving I would like to ask you to think about the things for which you can be thankful. Sure, there are now and always have been serious problems and much suffering	in the world.
November	18th,	for
example,	is	the
Independence day of Latvia, my native country, but it is now occupied by the Soviet Union and all I can do is witness the suffering of my relatives who could not escape in time.
The majority of people in South	Africa	have
never had independence or freedom. This month is also the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the most cruel human act in recent history, when pathologically displaced anger
Gunars Reimanis, Ph.D.
and hatred spelled untold horror and death to millions. The world and we who live in it are far from perfect, and that is why it becomes even more important to recognize the things for which we can give thanks.
I am thankful that I feel healthy today and that I hear well enough to enjoy good music. I am thankful that on Veteran's Day I was able to honor those who have helped to protect my freedom. I am thankful that there are people who care enough about other beings to spend much time, money and effort to rescue baby whales, even though that time, money, and effort could have been used to alleviate human hunger and suffering somewhere in the world.
Let us be thankful, though for what we have and what is, instead of dwelling on what could have been or should have been. Give Thanks on Thanksgiving Day; it will do your heart and soul good!

Prison students do better than campus students academically
by Beverly Petix
Inmates	who partici-
pate in the college program at the Elmira Correctional Facility are often academically better, and more motivated, than students at Corning Community College, according to Byron Shaw, Assistant Professor of English at Corning	Community
College.
The	inmate-students
"are looking for a way to pull themselves up," said Shaw. "I think that many of them really understand the value of education."
Qualified inmates at the maximum security prison are offered the opportunity to obtain a four-year college education CCC is contracted by the state prison	system	to
provide the first two years of education, while Keuka College provides the last two years.
Before being admitted into	the	ECF-CCC
college	program,
inmates are screened to ensure that they are not a security risk and that they are committed to obtaining a college degree or certificate, according	to	Joann
McGee,	Ph.D.,
Supervisor of Volunteer Tutors at ECF. All candidates must have a high school diploma. Inmates pay for their own tuition just as students on the Spencer Hill campus.
"These are serious-minded students who really want to learn," said McGee.
Completing	college
courses in prison is not an easy accomplishment. Unlike the usual 16-week semester found on the Spencer Hill campus, inmates at ECF work on an eight-week cycle.
Class time is very concentrated	and
inmate-students	are
given almost twice the amount of homework as campus students. Occasionally classes are delayed or interrupted by prison lockdowns. Life in the classroom is always in a state of "chaotic equilibrium," said Professor Shaw.
Students in the prison have to study and complete homework in cell blocks that are noisy and distracting, especially at night and on weekends. If the inmates prove to be good students, they are often transferred during the second semester to the honor block --a wing that is quieter and more conducive to study.
Studies indicate that the rate of recidivism among inmates with a college education is approximately 50% lower than the general inmate population, according to Larry Carr, Director of Inmate Education.

Holiday food resources for the needy
By Ron Combopiano
As the holiday season moves into high gear, many students' thoughts turn toward family, fun, and food. For some students and their families, as well as other local residents, the federal government recently became a food scrooge.
Under the government's surplus produce plan, stockpiled	basic	food
supplies were distributed	for	free	to the
needy across the country. In October the government decided that surpluses were running low.	As	one	part of
the solution, they decided	to	hold	off on
"freebies"	in	the
Northeast.
Admittedly, most people will not suffer greatly from this seasonal	act,
but local	people	who
count on surplus goods to ease	their	food
costs will suffer.
Fortunately a variety of local resources are hoping to take up the slack. THESE RESOURCES NEED SUPPORT AND DONATIONS from all of us. One way to do this is to support the CCC Student Government food drive. Another is to contact your church to see how you can help meet the needs of those within your community.
Some pantries provide food, others furnish holiday meals. The following is a partial list of the major-food pantries in the Tri-County area:
CHEMUNG COUNTY:
Van Etten Food Cupboard (Spencer, 589-4412)
Big Flats Food Pantry.

The secret to understanding Dick Luce is in the dissection of his office. Both he and his office are an enigma.
At first glance his office appears to be strewn with unconnected bits of paraphernalia. Suspended from the ceiling is a delicate hanging plant that seems to have died long ago.
Above a filing cabinet is an exquisitely detailed	anatomical
sketch of a very healthy male apparatus.
This is not the stereotypical office of an assistant professor of Business Administration. It is the domain of a man who is not afraid to exhibit his bizarre sense of humor.
Despite his humor, he is a serious educator. According to Dick Luce, education cannot be measured by the profit motive. The payout is not the student today, "but the student 10, 15,	20 years down the
road," he said.
Luce tries to provide his students with a classroom environment similar to the real
Dick Luce
business world. "I demand of my students much as a boss demands of an employee," he said. By giving students a taste of what the real business world is like, and what bosses will really expect from them, Luce hopes that it will be easier for them to adjust to almost any work situation.
There is more to teaching than just lectures and tests, according to Dick Luce. "Telling stories is probably the best	method	of
teaching," he said. "I try to use real examples and my own life experiences to illustrate	points."
This method gives students both the tangible information they need for business, and a taste of the abstract necessary for individualized thinking.
Luce believes that education has moved too far toward training and away from a more liberal, well-rounded education. However, he does not want to see it swing back to purely classical education. "The world needs accountants, nurses, and engineers," but they need to be able to communicate with people about things other than just their specialized fields.
He is often annoyed by students who take the safe road in life. "No student can be the best at everything," he said. Many times students select courses that they already excell at or are most comfortable with and fail to challenge themselves .
He believes it is very important for students
to expose themselves to new ideas and different disciplines.	"You
might only get a 'B'or a 'C' in a course, but that is more information that you will have learned that you can communicate with," he said.
Most people at CCC by now know that Dick Luce raises	sheep	in
addition	to	his
teaching practice.
His adventure into sheep raising began as a passing comment. One night he and a friend were sitting around grousing about their jobs, as all people do. His friend asked him what he planned to do when he became tired of teaching. "The wildest thing I could think of at the time was to clear off my land and raise sheep," he said laughing.
Time passed and on his 50th birthday his friend presented him with a lamb, which he named "Laila."	He
eventually added three more lambs and a ram to keep Laila company. Today he has 23 breeding sheep, 3 young stock, and a ram.
The sheep are sell to the market,	to
handspinners,
bred to freezer local and to
the pure breed market. The sheep breeding
business allows him to combine three of his interests into one area:	the love of
animals, the management of a business, and the marketing of a product.
The educator-shepherd also is an outstanding photographer. Hidden in his photographs is the real Dick Luce.
Hanging on the walls of his office are several black and white photographs he has taken over the years.
One photograph shows a small portion of a stairway leading to the slaves balcony in a Rockingham, VT meeting house.	The surface	of
the stairs appear rough and rigid, yet the photographer captured a rustic	simplicity	in
the stairs.
Another	photograph	is
of a partially illuminated forest with one small tree highlighted. There is a sense of serene	strength ema-
nating from the picture.
A third photograph is an enigma. It's shape, substance, and texture are shrouded.	Yet
there is a softness and sensuality to it.
Within these three photographs can be found the real Dick Luce .

"Tomorrow starts from today." This is the philosophy	of Altaye
Tedla, a CCC student who came to Corning from Ethiopia just two years ago.
Altaye's family lived in	Addis	Ababa,
Ethiopia,	and her
father worked for the government	before it
was	overthrown ten
years ago. He also imported and exported automobiles, and was in Germany on business when the new government rose to power. He could not return home , as many former government	officials were
being killed, so he travelled in Africa on business for a short time. He then came to America, where he started a bakery in Washington D.C.
Because of restrictions against leaving Ethiopia,	Altaye and her
family moved to Washington to join her father, one member at a time. Altaye was the last of the children to be brought to America. She lived without her family for three years in Addis Ababa.
When	Altaye came to
America, she disliked Washington and came to Corning to live with Helen	Warner, a friend
of her family and a former English professor at Corning Community	College.
Altaye is the twentieth international student Mrs. Warner has invited to live with her.

School was Altaye's first experience with American high schools and students. She was in for a surprise. In Ethiopia, she said, everyone	thinks
Americans are all generous, kind, and rich. One hears only the good things about the United States. Problems such as homelessness and pollution	aren't
publicized. As she got to know high school students she was somewhat	disheartened.
"People can be pretty rude" she said.
It's a good thing Altaye didn't form an opinion of the American people from the shallowness of some of our high school students. Now that she is here at CCC she is much happier and sees people in a much better light.
Altaye is a Math-Science/Liberal Arts major at CCC and hopes to transfer to Cornell University or the University of Virginia as a Biology or Pharmacy major. She is a member of the International club, International club representative to Inter-club Council, and a Student Government Senator.
She plays tennis and basketball, and participates in intramural basketball at CCC. She loves to dance and is learning to play the piano, something she has always dreamed of doing. She has played simple tunes by ear for years and is thrilled to be able to read the music.

Altaye would also love to learn to ski. There is no snow in Ethiopia and she finds North American winters depressing because the weather is	cold and
there is little to do. "If anyone	wants to
help me enjoy winter, please do!" she said.
Altaye is	a great
conversationalist. she is an animated and interesting	speaker
and likes to discuss politics in particular. She enjoys having discussions with people who are more learned than she is. "I love to listen to people," she said, "I get get so much from them."

Eastern Africa, but very mountainous so that the climate is mild. Generally, the people are very hospitable and generous. For example, one always serves company a big meal, no matter when they come to your house .
Because she only recently moved here, Altaye sees many things about our country we ignore,	or take for
granted.	Americans can
vote for their President, but Ethiopia is a dictatorship. We can travel and speak freely while Ethiopians would love to have those opportunities. She is very grateful to her instructors and others who have helped her adjust	to American
culture.

CCC welcomes new college nurse
By Greg Smith
CCC has recently hired a new nurse to promote student health and wellness. Madeline Uhl has taken the position left open by Stephanie McEnroe, who is now head of the Steuben Council on Alcoholism.
Uhl has some very strong opinions on the issue of AIDS and the issue of condoms. She believes that in this day and age, condoms have a new function as important as their use for birth control; as an effective way to prevent a deadly disease known as AIDS. She also feels that women must understand the function of condoms and their use as well as men do. She stresses that "Responsibility for your own safety and the safety of your partner is of utmost importance." Although she doesn't have strong emotions about the distribution of condoms on campus, she is looking into the possibility of an AIDS education program for CCC.
Uhl received her BSN from the University of D'yarville in Buffalo. She then went on to receive her Masters of Science in adult education	from Elmira
College in 1987.
Uhl taught for nine years in a nursing school as a clinical instructor. After that she spent eleven years working at the Corning Hospital in the development of health education program.
Uhl was originally from Buffalo but, now lives with her husband and two teenage daughters in Big Flats.
HSC brings Christmas to kids
The Human Services Club of CCC will once again sponsor a "Caring Christmas	for
Children." People can get the name of a needy child and buy a gift for that child.
Human Services Club members will staff a table in the Commons Lobby, November 28-December. 2,	11 a.m. to
2 p.m. People desiring
to participate select a name tag from the Christmas tree on the table. Tags specify the child's first name and age.
Last year's Caring Christmas for Children was a resounding success, with over 250 gifts delivered to area Human Services agencies,who then had parties for their kids.

Depending	on	circum-
stances, there may be other messages, such as:	"All 8:00 and 9:00
classes are cancelled. Classes will begin at 10:00 A.M."
Any day	or	evening
class, scheduled in public school buildings, will be cancelled if that school district closes its schools.
The	Business
Development Center on Denison Parkway is not affected by the College closing announcements. It will remain open even if the College is closed.
In all instances, it is important to note that the College makes its decisions on the basis of general road conditions, with special emphasis on the Spencer Hill Road.	Each

Mclnroy’s math hints: egad, no bondage!
By Sam Mclnroy
By Peter Bacalles
What is going on in management	classes
these days? Why are the students sitting in circles and working on projects out in the hallways?
These are signs that an experiential approach to learning is in progress at CCC.
Experiential learning is a teaching approach that utilizes student participation to facilitate the learning process.	It	occurs
when a student engages in some activity or simulation, looks back at the activity critically, abstracts some useful insight from the analysis, and puts the results to work.
The use of simulations do not take place of lecture and discussion, but as timely interruptions that are designed specially to personalize the points of a lecture and to generate readiness for the next topic.
Experiential learning can be summarized as a four-stage	process.
The first phase is called "experiencing." This is the phase where "games" are played. Next is publishing.
• Guaranteed on-campus housing
During this phase, students share with the class what they saw and/or how they felt during the simulation. The intent here is to explain what actually happened.
The third phase is processing, which is the pivotal phase in the	experimental
learning process. It is at this point that students examine why things happened and the consequences of such actions.
Finally, there is generalizing. During this last phase, students abstract from the processing phase, theories concerning managerial behavior and human interactions.
Aside from the classroom,	experiential
learning	techniques
were widely --and successfully-used during	the	student
leadership workshops.
As an adjunct to the general	learning
process, experiential learning	can	offer a
break from the routine of lectures, and can provide	students and
faculty	with	"games"
that educate as well as stimulate.
We concluded our article on patterns in last month's CRIER with a nonsense	sentence:
"Straw? No, too stupid a fad. I put soot on warts." This pattern is called a palindrome. If you read the letters in this sentence backwards you get the same sequence as you did when you read them forwards !
Some of my other favorites of this type are: Senile felines; Radar; Able was I ere I saw Elba; Mom; A man, a plan, a canal Panama; Abba; Egad, no bondage; No lemons, no melon; Norma is as selfless as I am, Ron; I; Dogma, I am god.
Recreational mathematicians enjoy viewing palindromic number sequences. The note that 12=1, 112=121, 1112=12321. The emerging pattern suggests that llll2 is the palindrome 1234321. So what is 11111 times 11111? If you answered 123,454,321 without actually reading ahead or multiplying,	then
you've discovered the pattern!
Note	that 11°=1,
111=11, 112=121, 113=1331 and 11«=14641. These powers of 11, which form the first several	rows	of
Pascal's triangle (see your algebra books), are palindromes.
In last months article, we suggested that in an algebra course is greatly enhanced if one "patterns".	For
example, we learn that (sum of two numbers) times (difference of the same two numbers) = the difference of their squares. Thus (x=y)(x-y) = x2-y2.
This pattern allows us to interpret 23x17 as (20 + 3) (20-3). This is the product of the sum of two numbers and the difference of same two numbers. Therefore the answer is the difference of their squares which	is 202-32=400-
9 = 391
We can also do 51x49 in our head as (50+1)(50-1)=502-12=2500-1=2499. Similarly 35x25=(30+5)
(30-5)=900-25=875, and (1002)(998)=(1000+2) (1000-2)=1,000,000-4 =999,996!
About 2280 years ago, Euclid had in front of him a	long list of
prime numbers: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,...You will recall that these numbers are divisible only by themselves and 1. He wondered if this list	was endless
(infinite). He considered the following set of numbers:	2=1,
( 2)(3)=1,	(2)(3)(5)+1,
(2)(3)(5)(7)+1,
(2)(3) (5)(7)(11)+1, . . . In each case a prime number is generated. No matter how many consecutive prime numbers you use, as long as you start at the beginning of the list, find the product, and add one, you always get a higher prime number.
Euclid concluded that the list was, therefore, endless since using the product of all primes in an assumed finite list and then adding one yields yet a larger prime number. This insight affords us a rare opportunity to deal meaningfully with an infinite set.
We conclude with a question:	What's the
square	root	of
123,456,787,654,321?
The answer will be posted on the Math Lab door.	.	.

“Rattle and Hum”-U2’s album and film
By Scott Tubbs
The screen is empty and you hear "This is the song Charles Manson stole from the Beatles. We are stealing it back!" That is the introduction to U2's remake of the Beatles song Helter Skelter in their new	movie and
soundtrack, Rattle and Hum. The movie is a documentary	concert
film of	the 1987
Joushua Tree tour.
The movie	and album
has a fun remake of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower. Live versions of Pride. Silver and Gold. and I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For are three soulful songs.
New U2 songs like Desire and God Part II show that they are still moving ahead in their musical style.
The soundtrack is close to, but not exactly, what you will hear in the movie. There are plenty of surprises
By Keith Dewey
A blood	thirsty plant
roars,	"Feed	me
Seymour!"	The quintes-
sential nerd Seymour is befuddled as to how he can satisfy the plant's voracious	appetite. A
sadistic	dentist
shrieks	with demonic
laughter. Audrey, a blonde-headed	bimbo
with a small brain but a big heart, dreams of _ "Pinesol	Scented Air"
in "Somewhere that's Green."	This colorful
menagerie	of characters
could only have belonged to the contemporary musical,	"Little Shop
throughout the movie, which you will have to see and experience for yourself.
You will love literally spinning with Bono in Desire. And that's the Edge singing lead on Van Demen's Land.
Rattle and Hum has a lot to offer including the unique way Bad turns into The Stones' Ruby Tuesday. and the most intense version of Sunday Bloody Sunday ever recorded.
Bono pushes out his words strongly while the Edge sets all tempo and even Plays Some Blues. Adam Clayton booms along with the rest of the band and Larry Mullen, Jr. even plays a tom-tom drum.
U2 "rattles and hums" its way to a masterful concert film because of the raw emotion and excellent music in this live show.
of Horrors," presented by CCC Two Bit Players and the Corning Rotary Club on October 27th-30th at Corning West High School.
"Little Shop of Hor-ors," indeed, provided pure enjoyment in a purely unorthodox way. The bitter-sweet and tragic-comic were prevalent. The "Shop" was fresh with the kind of action that encourages you to say, "That's weird." Perhaps it was precisely that power which engrosses the audience.
Good Reading!
By Ameena Nalim
Beyond the Veil is a thought	provoking,
classic study of women. It is a very bold piece of work and tears down misconceptions of the East, that people in the West have. On Saturday the 5th of November, the author, Fatima Mernissi was at the Glass Center to talk on women and human rights.
Her book deals with male-female dynamics in her native country, Morocco, as an example of a modern Muslim society.
In her introduction to the revised edition, Mernissi explains very clearly the anatomy of a fundamentalist. "How do you picture a fundamentalist?",	she
writes.	She	claims
that	the average
American has an image of an "uneducated, deprived, bloodthirsty, terrorist, loaded with guns and bombs." She goes on to condemn this false image and clarifies, "he is, on the contrary, a well-educated, and particularly brilliant high achiever."
In her preface, she has a note to	the Western
reader. She says, "In this book, I am not concerned	with	con-
trasting the way women are treated in the Muslim East with the way they are treated in the Christian West. I believe that sexual inequality is the basis of both systems."
And, in her conclusion she states boldly, "American	women	will
get the right to abortion but it will be a long time before they can	prevent	the
female's	body	from
being exploited as a marketable product."
Good Trash!
by Tara Didrence
Why read all those fictional	accounts
about sex and violence? Now you can read all the real true-to-life stuff. All it takes is a copy of the book, The Intimate Sex Lives of_ Famous People.
Published in 1984, the book was written by the same people who did The Book of Lists and The People's	Almancs.
Irving, Amy, and Sylvia Wallace	and David
Wallechinsky. One can only wonder how they did their research and where they got their material.
Some of the categories of people that are (un)covered	include
"Painting the Town" which is about artists. Another	section is
called "Heads You Win"; it goes into details about psychologists, scientists,	and
philosophers. It tells everything you wanted to know about Sigmund Freuds' sex life, but you were afraid to ask!
After reading the book with friends, we voted the two most popular sex	lives	as
Cleopatra's	and
Casanova's. It seems Casanova didn't have the quantity of lovers attributed to him; he was more into quality.
In the local scene Mark Twain and Margaret Sanger (this pioneer in birth control was raised in Corning, N.Y.) might arouse some interest.
Each person's entry has a little bit about why they are famous and the dirt about their sex lives and partners. Most are also quoted on their thoughts about love and sex.
Long live vouyerism!!

HERE’S ONE COLLEGE MEMORY WELL HELP YOU FORGET.
If you’re like a lot of people, your longest-lasting memory of college is the student loan you’re still paying back. The Army has a solution, though: qualify, sign up with us, and we’ll sign off on your loan.
Each year you serve as a soldier, the Army will reduce your college debt by 1/3 or $1,500, whichever amount is greater. So after serving just 3 years, your government loan could be completely paid off.
You’re eligible for this program if you have a National Direct Student Loan, or a Guaranteed Student Loan, or a Federally Insured Student Loan made after October 1, 1975. The loan must not be in default.
Get a clean slate, by erasing your college debt. Take advantage of the Army's Loan Repayment Program. Your local Recruiter can tell if you qualify.	C0R||ING	Rs

Women’s team hit with injuries
Campus basketball
By Steve Beckwith
In men's 3 on 3 basketball	league action,
three teams are battling for the championship. The Terminators currently lead the pack with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss. They are led by Jeff Anderson, Brian Kelly, Michael Simmons, and John Twillie. Hot on their heels with a record of 7 wins and 1 loss is the Public Enemy team. They	are led	by	Bill
Graham, Brian Barrell, Todd	Emmick,	and	Ron
Carrington. Also tied with a record of 7 wins and	1 loss	is	the
Houper team. They are paced by Doug Houper, Chris	Washington,
Dwight Harrison, and Joe Conner.
Trophies will be awarded to the teams for the 1st.	2nd.	and	3rd
place in the league. It should be a very interesting battle for the championship.
The CCC men's basketball	team looks	to
improve on last year's record of 15 wins and 12 losses. The attitude seems	to be	the
key	this year	to
improve over last year. In	talking	with
returning players Bill Graham and	Jeff
Anderson, they both seem to think the team attitude is	very good.
The team	works	the
ball,	concentrates	on
being a unit and staying with the program.
Both players are looking forward	to the	November 16	opener	a-
gainst Monroe Community Col-lege and are hoping to have a really great season.

The CCC Women's Volleyball team finished the season with a fine overall record of 8 wins, 13 losses, and 3 ties. In the region they finished ninth in the coaches poll out of 26 teams, and in the very tough, very com-
petitive Penn York Conference they finished with a record of 5 wins and 9 losses. The girls were plagued by a lot of injuries this season. Without these injuries they could have been more competitive.
