DRAFT FORUM AROUSES STUDENTS
by Barbara Sutton Doug Humphrey Topics of Natinal Security and another Vietnam dominated a panel discussion on draft registration held Wednesday, February 13 at CCC.
Judy Smith has been appointed assistant director of special programs for the division of Continuing Education and Community Services at Corning Community College.
In making the announcement, Nancy B. Lan-ning, director, said she will be responsible for the coordination and administration	of
specialized courses and programs as well as the educational requirements of business, industry,unions, allied health,	secondary
Correction
The Crier apologizes for recognizing Student Government as the sponsor of the flag lowering ceremony, 12-7-79. It has been brought to our attention that the Veteran’s association, Ed Barto, president, actually sponsored the event.
The Editor
A noontime crowd of more than 100 students and faculty members, aided by a four member panel, discussed the effects of such a draft and its effect on the community and the people of this nation in general.
education and social and civic organizations.
Mrs. Lanning indicated that ‘Judy brings to the position a strong awareness of community needs in terms of educating, retraining, and refreshing employees from the shiftworker to the manager.’As the former associate	administrator of	the
Chemung	County
CETAprogram,	she
established the Private Industry Council in Chemung County. It is comprised of area employers who determine the employment and training needs of industry and the available area educational resources.
Ms. Smith is a graduate of SUCPotsdam and is completing her master’s degree in public administration through the Collge Center of the Finger Lakes. She resides in Elmira with her two children.
The panel members, picked by Student Services personnel in an attempt to represent ‘as wide a cross-section of the campus community as possible,’ were:	Bill
Dolan, faculty member, World War II veteran, and reserve member of the armed forces; Kathy Liles, student, woman , and veteran; Al Vanette, staff member and conscientious objector during the Vietnam era; and Ed Barto, student, Vietnam veteran and president of the CCC Veteran’s Association.
That the registration ‘will become reality’ and ‘people will be drafted’ were the opening assumptions established by panel moderator, Fred Jordan, CCC staff member. After introducing the panel members and hearing their ideas, the panelists opened debate to the audience.
Panel member Dolan began by stating that the volunteer army has not provided the nembers of personnel needed to maintain sufficient military strength for future security needs, that the draft would provide those numbers, and that, probably, women would not be drafted.
Liles began by pointing

out that women can and do play ‘a very effective role’ in the military, and that if there is a draft, women should be drafted.
She added that although women were capable, they would probably not see combat.
‘Being an election year, I don’t believe there will be a draft in the near future,’ Vanette began. He also stated that there are means, other than studyirtg for the priesthood, to legally obtain objector status; for example, through alternate service. He has information for anyone in-
terested in that route.
Disagreeing with Vanette, Barto believes that there will be a draft ‘within the next few months.’
‘If it comes to another type of Vietnam war,’ he continued,‘I’ll be the first one in the street to burn the flag. If it becomes a matter of National Security, I’ll be the first one in the emlistment lines.’
The most prevalent comments from younger, draft-age students in the assembly were, ‘if I have to run the risk of being (Continued on page 3)
Work Experience Earns College Credit
by Terry Couse
Students at CCC are offered a unique opportunity to acquire up to 20 credits through non-traditional learning program based on college level life/work experience.
According to Nan Lanning, Director of the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services, the program ‘is designed for the adult student with a wealth of study-related work experiences.’
Lanning further indicated that the life/work program available at the College for the past three years is utilized most often by students intering the business field and those pursuing studies in technical, vocatinal and human service programs.
For interested students, the basic procedure involves contacting the Division of Continuing Education and registering for a special assessment, for which a $25.00 fee is
required. The student os provided with a CAEL guidebook and a portfolio outline. At this point the student develops a portfolio working in conjunction with his advisor.
Ms. Lanning said that the portfolio ‘resembles an autobiography of the students’ work history.’
Upon completion of the portfolio, the student’s advisor reviews the material and makes a decision as to the amount of credit under consideration. The portfolio is then submitted to the Dean of Instruction, who is responsible for awarding the credit. Students are then required to appear before a panel to submit to oral or written questions.
Students involved in this program are eligible for a reduced rate. Further information is available at the Continuing Education Office located on the second floor of the Administration Building.
Due to technical problems and illness to staff, many articles which should have appeared in todays paper will appear in next week..

What are your opinions on the possible reinstatement of the draft and/or the mandatory registration of women?
Jeffery Sweigart;
I can understand registering but the draft is not needed now. If there were a war, I’m all for it. Women should be drafted as the ultimate in equal rights.
Timothy Shadeck;
I don’t feel they have the right to draft women if they couldn’t pass the ERA. If there were a war, the draft would be necessary because a volunteer army wouldn’t be able to defend the country.
Mark Reef;
I think the draft should be reinstated now in order to prepare our country in case of an infringement on the American people’s rights that would make war inevitable.
Timothy Gehl;
Too many people don’t care about their country, or much else. I feel the draft might straighten them up a little.
Kathy Liles;
The draft is necessary, now, to get people from all aspects of American life. Poor, middle class, upper, etc.--to maintain a balance. It’s not working the way it is now. It takes 6-8 weeks for basic training and 4-6 months for technical training. Women can be used in many areas not combat related.
Ed Barrett;
I’m in favor of the registration for both men and women. I don’t think we’re at the point where the actual draft is needed. Women could serve support positions or office, clerical positions. American society isn’t ready to put women into active combat situations.
LETTERS:
Concerning Mr. Guiffida’s editorial -
Objection No. 1 Christians invoking the commandment, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ THOU SHALT NOT KILL. Each year 25,000 people are killed by drunk drivers in our country. That is more in two years than were killed in ten years of Viet Nam warfare. Yet this campus and this student body continues to sanction social activity where drinking is followed by driving. Mr. Guiffrida’s generation as well as mine and the present student generation continue to promote drinking and driving as acceptable. THOU SHALT NOT KILL.
Objection No. 2 Let us not be so naive. In the words of Stansfield Turner, former director of the CIA, responding to a question from a Senate committee, ‘I’m sorry Senator, it is an untidy world.’ Yes, it is wrong to kill and make war. Yes, it is wrong to sit quietly by while human rights are crushed. Yes, it is wrong to plead your dreams for truth, purity and the American way while society caves in because we refused to act. It is tragic, but true; we often must act wrongly to prevent or avoid that which is wrong. Indeed, an untidy world.
Objection No. 3 We are gluttons for oil. We would fight keep the stuff coming. Such a fight sounds most evil and selfish. It is. However, lest our naivete overwhelm, what kind of evil will befall us if the oil stops? Who wants to be reponsible for the massive unemployment because industry stops? Who wants responsibility for the transportation chaos such a gasoline reduction brings on. Who feeds the poor of the world when our highly energy intensive farming system is choked? Let us be sure we hear the mandate on killing when we face those woes also.
Objection No. 4 I have two female children and love them very much.
I have a wife, also loved. And because I love them I refuse to protect them from the terrors of life, from human failure. Rather, while exposing my children to such failure I hope I am gining them the necessary values, faith and hope which will allow them to act in the midst of an ‘untidy world.’
Our past has led us to believe it is best if our women are protected from the failure of men. That past was not true. It ought not continue.
War is admittedly horrible. God, how I hope it does not happen (an exclamation and a prayer). And we would do well to do all in our power to prevent it. Steps in that direction include a conscious and consistent effort to save energy, a loud scream for others to do so also, and a much more intensive effort to save learn what our national security involves and how it might be preserved in less violent ways.

To the Editor:
I want to say a few words about the draft situation.
I am a 28 year-old female student at C.C.C. when I heard that the draft might be re-instated.
I was panicky! I was feeling that it was unfair, after all I didn’t want ‘womens lib’ in the first place, (at this time I didn’t know of the age limit for women.)
My main fears were of the discipiline, the strenuous activity, and actually getting shot at;not only by the enemy, but my own trainers and peers. Since I’ve gotten a little older I find that I’ve lost a lot of nerve.
Being married to a Viet Nam vet I have often heard of many of the experiences that he and others have gone through. nOW i HAVE TO ASK MYSELF	THIS,‘If
everyone felt as I do, who would defend this country?’ I also ask which was
worse, being killed overseas or the hell of living in a completly Un-American United States, or feeling the guilt of knowing that others could not be free because I didn’t care enough.
I started remembering the times that I’ve heard vets talking with the tough exterior dropped and they were just as frightened as I, but they still did it.
I finally came to the conclusion that I had better start caring enough about this country to do as it asks of me.
Kennedy made a terrific point when he said, ‘Ask not what your country can do for you, but ask what you can do for your country.’
This country has done much for us, including giving us an education. Now are we going to let our country down?l hope not.
Sincerely, Kathy Welch

caned to go, I want to know why and what I supposed to be ready .to die for.’
‘Do I have to fight Russians or Afganistans or anyone else without knowing what I am fighting for or who I am fighting to protect?’
‘I am ready to fight if someone is going to come here and tell me what I can and cannot do (say, smoke, think), but I don’t know, or Exxon Oil.’
‘Who’s going to tell me why I’m going to afghanistan,’ exclaimed a 20-year-old black student.
‘The President isn’t.
Shoot, he wants to be reelected. He ain’t telling me nothing. If he wants to send me somewhere to defend someone I don’t know and he isn’t going to me . .	. forget it.’
In reply to many such comments, Barto replied,

security of this country.
‘On the same token, this country has a duty to those people to see that any draft that is instituted is fair and includes rich -poor, black - white, male -female, and no deferments or handouts like the people got during the Vietnam war. If we gotta do it, we all gotta do it.’
On the subject of women and the draft, one male veteran said, ‘The women of this country have been fighting for equal rights for the last ten years. Equal rights also implies equal responsibility. If you want to paly the game, you play
by the rules.’
Several references were made to Israel and the role its women play in its armed forces.
‘It works there,’ was one women’s reply, ‘but women there are raised along side the men with military training form early youth, whereas such has not been the case here.’
The non-violent civil disobedience philosophies fo the 60’s era were also expressed.
At the end of the debate, it was proposed that another forum bve held in the near future. No date was specified.
Brown Bag Forum
The Brown Bag Forum for February 25th at Noon in the large lounge of the Commons will be a discussion on morality, mortality, the military and glory. The initiator of such discussion will be Frederick R. Jordan, Protestant chaplain on campus. It will begin with a brief statement by Mr. Jordan after which there will be much time for questions. Bring your lunch. This is one of the few times eating is allowed in the Large Lounge.
HONOR YOUR LANDLORD
Let's give credit where credit is due!Many students have pleasant accomodating, caring landlords and we appreciate them.
Most often we hear complaints about how dirty, overpriced apartments or landlords who find excuses not to return security deposits. We hope that showing our appreciation of a ‘model’ landlord will inspire others to improve their accomodations and attitudes.
The selected landlord of the year will be honored at a luncheon which will be publicized in the CRIER and all downtown media. The student nominator will be invited to join the awards luncheon.
So--if you think your landlord deserves such an award, please fill out the form below and drop it off at the Housing Office(u203) or Activities Office. Additional forms are available in above offices.

BARONS WIN LAST HOME GAME
It was key foul shooting, and a tough Red Baron defense that brought CCC and exciting 87-85 victory over Jamestown for the last Red Baron home game of the ‘79-‘80 season.
the lead see-sawed back and forth in the opening minutes of the game with Jamestown getting hot shooting form both their forwards. Then it was the Red Baron defense taking over, along with hot shooting from Herman adams and Wiley Williams that gave Corning a 46 - 32 halftime lead.
In the second half it was inconsistent shooting by CCC and patient playing by Jamestown that brought the score within one point. But again it was the Baron defense rising to the occasion, clipping the Jayhawk attack and forcing them to foul the CCC men. This was to no avail as the the Barons shot with 70% accuracy at the charity strip throughout the game to keep their slim two point margin.
CCC now owns a record of 20 - 8 with two road games remaining before regional play.
MY EYE ON SPORTS
by Larry French
Syracuse University
Two points kept the Syracuse basketball from reaching the top spot in the college basketball polls. That was the difference in DePaul’s win over Dayton this week. If Dayton could have pulled off the upset, The Orangemen surley would have moved up from their number two ranking. Syracuse will close out their home schedule at the Manley Field House against Georgetown, and will hope to end thier success with a win to extend thier home record of 58 wins in a row.
Kenner reaches milestone
Corning Community College basketball coach Wayne Kenner registered his 150th win as mentor of the Red Baron five. Coach Kenner’s team won thier eighteenth victory of the season with a very impressive win over Alfred State. Wayne has worked very hard to make the basketball program here to be successful and all the time and work seems to be finally paying off for him in his tenth year at the helm
This years edition of the Baron basketball team could be the best since the 1974-75 season when a record of 23 and 6 was turned in by that team.This years team is turning out to be a guard-oriented offense and complete team defense.
Wiley Williams and Herm Adams have been sparking the offense most of the year with help coming up front from Darryl Turner,Richard (Truck)Berry,	Jacob
Harrison and newcomer Marvin(Tiny) Hantke. Coach Kenner stresses team defense and the Barons are just that type of a defensive team. Another reason for the success of this current issue of the Baron team is control of the boards, both on the offensive and defensive end of the court. The team has no real glaring weakness that can be exploited by opposing teams and this has been to their advantage.
A trip to the Regionals is the main goal of the Barons this year and I have a feeling they will get that far for certain. Once they achieve that goal, the rest will be gravy. I have only seen the team play once, but I have been told by many who have, that this team has a chance to go a long way. It would be great for Coach Kenner’s program to win the Regions and I would very much like to see this happen. The team is beginning to jell at the right time and maybe a Regional crown «s the next step.
Congratulations to Wayne Kenner on victory number 150 as the Baron coach an added success to this year’s team. Go for it!
