—STUDENTS RESPOND - CRIER STAYS
nov. 16, 1973
Coffeehouse Circuit Opens
New sounds are winding their way out of the large lounge in the commons. The sound is the Coffeehouse circuit, which has gotten underway again after a long summer recess.
Playing first was Bruce Vander pool, a locally famed musician. Bruce mixed his performance with a little of everything, including a large array of his own music.
Playing next was a group from Houghton College in upstate New York. The group, “Manna,” and their music were of a high caliber. The members of the group included Elaine Jones, a female soloist with a truly superb voice, which neared perfection. Also in the group were Daisy Murdock, flutist; Paul Olson, bass; Ray Tuce on lead guitar; Sydney Houseknecht playing a mean set of drums and Marvin Stillman rounding out with the soft mellow sound of acoustic guitar.
The music of “Manna” varied between popular rock and folk to religious rock and folk. The pur-
pose, said Marvin Stillman, is to “bring glory to our Lord Jesus Christ Savior.” That purpose was carried throughout all of their selections, religious and secular.
The only hindrance to their performance was the noises of a few inconsiderate college students who refused to refrain from making noise during and after “Manna’s” performance.
We apologize for the mindless actions of these few.
Background - wise, the group perpetuates itself over the years as new members join year to year. Even the equipment builds up over the years and is passed on to members of the years to come. The group is exclusively from Houghton College but they are financed by themselves and from donations given at places where they play.
The Corning performance was the first staged outside of Houghton College, and it is expected that more stops will be planned.
CRIER to Participate In National. Student Poll
The CRIER is participating in a poll sponsored by the National Student Lobby which could have a major impact on the national political scene. The National Student Opinion Poll to 2,000 student newspapers asked the questions (1) whether or not President Nixon should be impeached, and (2) whether President Nixon or the Court should appoint and control a Special Watergate Prosecutor.
“The poll will be a barometer of current student opinion,” said Willis Edwards, Chairperson of NSL’s Board of Directors and former student body president at California State University at Los Angeles. “During this time of constitutional crisis, Congress needs accurate data on the views of students and non-students alike. Many student newspapers have already run polls of student opinion and these need to be totaled and presented to Congress.”
The poll also asks the question of whether the National Student Lobby’s role should involve active lobbying based on the results of the poll, or remain as an information clearinghouse for students from across the country.
Until this time, NSL has been a clearinghouse of information for hundreds of calls, and for students who have been in Washington. In the past three weeks several hun-
dred students have come to Washington to talk about the appointment of a Watergate special prosecutor and continued investigation of possible impeachment proceedings. There have been large numbers of law students involved, including law students from Boston University, Catholic University, University of California, Berkeley, Georgetown University, George Washington University. Harvard University, New York University, University of Pennsylvania, St. John’s University, Tulane University, University of Pittsburg, University of Virginia, American University, Columbia University, Yale University and other schools.
In the week of November 10 through 17 a loosely coordinated set of “Hometown Actions” are being sponsored by a large number of groups, both national and local, which have been brought together on an ad hoc basis. These actions will include town meetings and public hearings on the question of impeachment, and will involve campus, labor, church and citizens’ organizations.
In the coming week, the CRIER will be contacting approximately 100 students to survey the opinion at Corning Community C ol lege. Results of our poll, as well as results of the national poll, will be
published as soon as available
Student Response
Received by CRIER
As you can see, there has been sufficient student response to warrant publication of the CRIER once again. All totaled, we got a response from seven CCC students; this is good but hardly a rising to the occasion. Nevertheless, we will go on publishing the CRIER as long as the students want it.
The response was, however, unexpected, for we really thought that the students didn’t much care about having a student newspaper, thus a vol. 14, no. 8 voice. To those students, Gale Wolfe, Kris Smith, Kim West, Kevin Dwyer, Frank Staley and Cec Savercool, we extend our sincere thanks, for without you this paper would not have happened.
Any comments or criticisms of the newspaper, its editors, and staff is welcomed and appreciated. Without this kind of input, we could not put out a paper which meets the needs and desires of the students and staff it serves.

WCEB Stages Buffalo Trip
by Cris Kalabash
Fifteen Corning students received the opportunity to take their FCC license exam as a result of a recent trip sponsored by WCEB.
The trip was scheduled because of a need for licensed personnel of the station. Students had to pay a small charge for the trip, due to the high charge for the college car.
WCEB is considering another trip to Buffalo near the end of November to enable interested students to take their FCC license exam (third class). Study materials are available at the station and a three-hour class will be held prior to the exam. The exam consists of 60 questions in three parts and takes about an hour. Passing the test enables a broadcaster to operate stations up to 10,000 watts in power.
Interested students and faculty can get more information by contacting WCEB at 962-9330. The charge for the course, trip (excluding meals and test fees, which are $3.50) and study materials is $6.50

UPI Comes to Corning
In our constant effort to keep the students of Corning Community College better informed, the CRIER has partially funded UPI teletype service for WCEB. The CRIER will be using some features and pertinent news stories, as well as sports information from UPI.
Funding is still needed to allow WCEB to complete service this year. A plea was made to divisions for support, and only two, Communications and Athletics, have acknowledged the need. Teletype service for the remainder of the year will cost $716.00, and the service will be available to all
students and faculty. We hope that the CRIER fills some need in the college community by beginning this service.

PERSPECTIVE
by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief
The People’s Way To End the Energy Crisis
by David W. Game, Managing Editor
The United States today is in the grips of an energy crisis which threatens to cripple the nation.
In response to this crisis, President Nixon went on national media with a message, urging America’s cooperation in lessening the severity of the situation. Although Nixon s credibility is at its all-time lowest, his recommendations do deserve serious thought.
Most of his message was in the form of recommendations that, if followed, could ease the situation for us all; but they will need the full support of all the people. Consequently, this is not the time for partisan politics and personal prejudices. Granted, up to this point, Nixon has done a pretty poor job of running this nation; but the energy crisis is here; we all knew it would be sooner or later. This is not the time to close our eyes and hope it will go away, for it is here; and unless we all conserve a little, it will get worse; it’s not about to vanish into thin air.
In his talk, Nixon presented a variety of ways for the common citizen to ease the major brunt of the situation. One of his most important recommendations was to cut the thermostat in American homes back to 68 degrees, a cutback which will not only save enormously on heating fuel, but which will also provide a healthier atmosphere in which to live. This recommendation includes everyone, even those who have money and feel they will always be able to buy heating fuel; for when it’s gone, nobody has any fuel and money surely doesn’t give off much heat. Thus, cooperation from all parties concerned is mandatory.
Another recommendation which Nixon hopes to make into law is that of lowering the speed limit on national highways to 50 miles per hour. The gasoline shortage has been with us for a while now, but people just won’t take mind of the severity of the situation. Even after Nixon’s recommendation, people still drive along at a 65 mile per hour clip, mindless of what lies ahead in the growing energy crisis. It is too bad that it must be made law, for this kind of apathy is the worst kind, for one is only harming oneself.
Nixon made a number of other recommendations which he hopes will be made law, which include a temporary loosening of environmental regulations on some industries and returning the nation to daylight-saving time year round. The first has caused much despair in environmentalists’ circles; but in a situation so severe, stop-gap measures may tide us over, as long as they are temporary and as long as production of pollution-free energy is sped up; both of which Nixon has promised and Congress will hopefully enforce. Returning the nation to daylight-saving time is definitely a wise move and if passed, will contribute to lessening the energy drain.
It is up to us, the people, to follow these measures and cooperate with the President, even though he is an unpopular one. Even the law of averages says that he can’t be all wrong; and it is quite obvious that he is telling it like it is this time. The crisis is here; and unless we all pitch in and do our bit, it will get a lot worse.
------------------ Computer Cop Strikes! ------------------ College Worse
Imagine this if you can . . . You’re driving along at 80 miles an hour when a transparent red flashing sign appears on your windshield reading “slow down.’’
There isn’t a patrol car around so you keep going at 80 . . . when you notice all the other cars on the highway are giving you a wide berth. And you realize there’s another red flashing sign on the rear of your car. It’s telling everybody on the road you’re a hazard.
You arrive home in record time, only to find that a computer has picked up your code number and
has a traffic ticket ready for you.
Science fiction? Not according to Dr. T. C. Helvey, Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Tennessee. He says all this could be as commonplace as the traffic light in the next decade.
Helvey says computers will set speed limits in the future for every car, every driver, on every highway at all times.
The scheme is called “Highway Traffic Optimization for the 1980’s” and was the subject of a national conference held in Nashville recently.

A former Redwood City, California High School football star who pleaded guilty to a charge of armed robbery was sentenced to four years -- in college. The judge suspended a one year jail sentence and told 18 year old David Brown to complete four years in college. And, the judge said, Brown is to perform volunteer work with troubled youths once a week for a year following his graduation.
Crosses Channel
A man blind since birth crossed the English Channel in a canoe yesterday by following the sound of a motorboat ahead of him. Forty-three-year-old Dennis Moore of Teddington, England, made the crossing in eight hours. Four years ago Moore was a member of a four-man team of blind swimmers which swam across the Channel.
Keepsakes Prove Profitable
The knack of a woman in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, for saving old keepsakes, even if it meant rummaging through garbage cans, turned up a lottery ticket worth at least ten thousand dollars. Mrs. Dorothy Lavers yesterday discovered a batch of two week old lottery tickets tossed away by her son's friend, 25-year-old Harry Harcourt. One of them was a winner. When she told Harcourt, Mrs. Lavers says he turned white. Mrs. Lavers said the discarded tickets qualify Harcourt for a chance to win up to $20,000 in the super drawing, with $10,000 already guaranteed.
Student Evicted in
(CPS) -- Citing “safety reasons,” the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook has ordered the eviction of married students with children from campus housing.
The new rule affected six families living in married student dormitories as part of an experimental system which offered campus living at rentals $30 to $50 lower per month than those in the surrounding area. The ban on children for safety reasons discriminates against families by forcing them to live in higher rent districts, according to student charges.
Stony Brook dormitories were not built with the “special safety needs of children” in mind, said the University’s acting vice-president of student affairs. In early

The Crier is published weekly throughout the fall and spring semesters through the Student Activity Fund. Letters to the editor are welcomed. It is asked that they be brief and to the point, and that they bear the name and address of the writer. AM materia! on the opinion page is that of its respective authors and not necessarily that of the Editorial Board, staff, or the Administration. Offices are maintained in Room 107 of the Commons at Coming Community College. For advertising, telephone (607) - 9629339. AM copy submitted is subject to editing.

We Need You!
I must admit that I’m thoroughly amazed, amazed that the CRIER actually got the response that it did to its threat to cease publication. Seven students came forward and volunteered their services, all of which were badly needed. We now have a moderately complete staff of news writers, photographers, and sports writers. We also have worked out a plan whereby we will have enough typists to prepare our copy. An area in which we are sadly lacking is business. If the CRIER is going to survive the year, the ads must keep rolling in, because of our drastically low budget. The CRIER was told that it has improved greatly, and now we need people to get that news to businesses in the area. Lisa Haines, our business/circulation manager, is overworked and underpaid, and desperately needs any help. Getting ads takes no great experience; all that is necessary is an ability to get along with people and to follow the advertiser’s orders to the letter. One to two hours a week would greatly help us out.
As is noted on the front page, the CRIER is helping WCEB to begin a teletype service. This service is mostly an experiment to see if Corning Community College really needs up to date news. When WCEB goes on the air, our news director must get up at 5 a.m. every morning to prepare the clay’s newscasts and make police calls. This is necessary to provide up to date news. And, the CRIER is making WCEB’s job easier. What concerns me, though, is the fact that only two divisions have replied positively to the plea for funds made by the WCEB news department, and a third, nursing, is not sure. Five other divisions have not even bothered to say no to WCEB. Let’s look at the figures -- the teletype will cost $716.00 to operate the rest of the year, and of this, WCEB can only provide $100.00. Communications has pledged $82.00 and athletics, $50.00. The CRIER is giving WCEB $250.00. That leaves approximately $236.00 needed. Even if all the divisions remaining divided the amount equally, it would only cost $47.00 each. The way I look at it, if the CRIER can squeeze $250.00 out of its already tight budget, and WCEB $100.00 out of its almost nonexistent budget, then, hopefully, the divisions can find the money somewhere.
I know that I’m going to get letters saying that I’m using the CRIER for a private soapbox, but, really, I’m not. The FM station is one of the more interesting developments on campus in the last four years, and I feel very strongly about its obtaining outside support. Let’s hope somebody else does.
Letters to the Editor
"No Pressure
TO THE EDITOR:
In the October 26th issue of the CRIER, there was a letter from Robert F. Taggi concerning Joseph Oscsodal. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when opinion is in contradiction with known facts, this can cause irrevocable damage to the party or parties involved. The facts are:
Mr. Oscsodal left Corning Community College on his own volition and was not fired. There were no known pressures put on him to resign by the administration or the Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Division. In June of 1972, Mr. Oscsodal was approved for tenure by the division and the administration. This does not appear on the individual’s contract until the fifth-year contract, which is College policy. Mr. Oscsodal received his fifth-year contract indicating tenure for the academic year 1973-74 which he signed and returned to the proper authorities.
On the 20th of August, Mr. Oscsodal submitted a request for a leave of absence for the academic year 1973-1974 to accept a position with the County Health Department. However, his request for a leave of absence was denied because of the importance of meeting student demands for courses taught by Mr. Oscsodal, and lack of suffi-

A series of unsuccessful appeals and negotiations with the University officials followed the original eviction notices. Last week the couples were forced to comply with safety policy. Some students sent their children to live with relatives and others moved off campus into more expensive apartment housing.
Stony Brook began a crackdown on safety regulations enforcement when a man was killed after wandering into a campus construction site several months ago. A ban on children in one married student complex had been included in 1972 housing contracts but it had not been enforced until last August.

cient staff to cover these courses. Mr. Oscsodal made the decision to accept the new position and sever his commitments to his original contract.
The one item in Robert Taggi’s letter which we agree upon is Mr. Oscsodal’s commitment to the Health Education program and to the College student himself.

Conducts Meeting
As President of the Faculty Council of Community Colleges for the State University of New York, Professor Walter R. Smith of CCC recently conducted a meeting of that body at Erie County Community College in Buffalo.
Among the most important considerations of the meeting were the proposal for coordinating the academic calendars among all SUNY units, the sponsorship of a June teaching conference (time and place to be arranged), and support of a program for Chancellor awards for excellence in teaching for outstanding teachers in the community colleges.
Professor Smith is chairman of the social science division at Corning Community College.
IMPEACHMENT: NIXON
by James Armstrong
I am addressing these thoughts to my brothers, those who at one time or another let their hair sprout in an act of rebellion and defiance. Those who were hassled merely for being themselves; those who were frustrated in their attempts to make things better and to make people see what was happening in their government; those who have grown tired of trying and now only wish for “peace of mind.” I tell you there will be no “peace of heart,” and I know your heart tells you that something is still wrong. I appeal to you to make a move so that you may have the opportunity to find your peace of mind.
I am addressing all of the Black people of this country, who were born into rebellion and have never known a day of peace. I appeal to you to make a move so that your race may have the opportunity to obtain all that is rightfully yours.
I am addressing the women of this country who give America her sons and daughters, and, hopefully, much more than that in the changing days ahead. I appeal to you to make a move, so that your sons and daughters may grow up free and proud of their country.
I am addressing the workers of this country, no matter what your trade or occupation. You, who have made this country the richest nation in the world. I appeal to you to make a move, so that you may continue to freely choose your own trade.
I am addressing the elders of this country, who taught us, when we were children, that such things as honesty and respect-- and the Constitution -- were things to be valued. I appeal to you to make a move, so that you may prove to us that you truly believed in those things you told us were good.
I am addressing the students of
this country, to whom America must turn for tomorrow’s leaders. I appeal to you to make a move, so that you may continue your education as you see fit and may lead America as you see fit.
The move I speak of is the impeachment of Richard Milhous Nixon (I refuse to dignify his name with the title of “President”). I am not going to present a lengthy, wordy, logical argument as to why this man should be removed from “The Office of The President of The United States of America.”
Let the man’s political career speak for itself: It is one full of deceit, manipulation, and out-right ruthlessness. We see the picture of a man who, clearly, will stop at nothing to get and retain what he wants. Why else would a man who was almost guaranteed the presidency, feel it necessary to engage in wiretapping, espionage, and sabotage against his opposition party, when there was really no opposition to speak of? Richard Nixon is the personification of all that is dishonest, unjust, and ugly in America.
I am not saying that this man is responsible for these things; He
is merely the end product of forces which have been gathering and operating in America’s bloodstream. The moral tenor of a people is reflected in the type of person they choose to be their leader. Ultimately, the responsibility for Richard Nixon must fall on the citizens of this country -- each and everyone of us.
But the situation can be rectified. An impeachment would be the beginning: It would be the moral strength of our country once again asserting itself. I have heard people say that if we impeach this man the “stock market" would “crash.” I outright refuse to believe this. Besides, what good is all the money in the world if one is not free to spend it as he or she chooses?
To those Democrats who remained true to their party and were forced to suffer humiliation at the voting polls, now is your chance to regain face.
To those Democrats who were forced to desert their party: I realize that your vote was one of “anti-McGovern” and not “pro-Nixon.” Admit that you were wrong; we admit that we were
Dr. Hudson Reappointed
The name of Dr. James W. Hudson is synonymous with music. Recognized not only in the Corning area but also in the State as an accomplished singer, choral conductor, and musical educator, Dr. Hudson has again been appointed to the University-Wide Committee on the Arts as chairman of the sub-committee on music for 1973-74 by Chancellor Ernest L. Boyer of the State University of New York. Other sub-committees are on dance, visual arts,
Swissair Offers Specials For Student Skiers
Swissair, the airline of Switzerland, in conjunction with the European Student Travel Center Ltd. (SOFA) and the Swiss Student Travel Service (SSR), is offering student skiers an exciting array of eight-day, seven-night ski tour packages in such well-known Swiss winter sports centers as Davos, Zermatt, Klosters, Scouls, Leysin or Verbier.
Departures are scheduled from New York’s Kennedy International Airport on Swissair luxury 747 jets every Friday from December 14, 1973, through April 19, 1974. Anyone between 12 and 24 years of age can take advantage of a basic youth air fare of $272, which, when added to land arrangement costs beginning at $70 per week, provide an exciting week-long vacation for as low as $342.
Hotel accommodations are dormitory style in youth-oriented hotels in each resort, offering a chance for young Americans to mix and mingle with their European
counterparts both on and off the slopes.
Except in Verbier, all tour package prices, besides covering air fare and hotel accommodations, also include daily continental breakfasts and dinners, transfers from airport to railroad station and return by scheduled motor-coach, rail and bus transportation to the resorts and tips, taxes and service.
Verbier, one of Switzerland's newest ski centers, differs from the other resorts, with special change-of-pace type accommodations for small groups of from two to ten. Apartments and entire chalets can be requested, complete with kitchen utensils and towels and a clean-up fee included in the rental price.
All Swissair Student Skiers packages can be extended beyond the one-week stays at a reasonable rate for additional weeks.
For reservations or information contact any Swissair office.
theater, and film.
In inviting Dr. Hudson to serve again, Chancellor Boyer wrote, “The thoughtful leadership of this Committee has contributed greatly to the University’s role in the arts, I deeply appreciate the time and energy you’ve devoted to this commitment.”
Dr. Hudson brings recognition to CCC as well as to himself. He is the only representative of a community college to chair a subcommittee.
Presently associate professor of Music of CCC and director of Music at Grace Methodist Church, Corning, Dr. Hudson received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at SUC at Potsdam and Doctor of Musical Arts at Eastman School of Music.
He first became known in Corning when he began a 10-year employment as director of vocal music for Northside High School and West High.
In 1968 he joined the faculty at CCC and served as Faculty Association Chairman for 1972-73. He is director of the College Chorus, Chamber Singers, and Stage Band and is the College representative to Chemung Valley Arts Council.
Aside from his music education duties, Dr. Hudson has performed as soloist with Corning, Utica and University of Rochester symphony orchestras, with Elmira Cantata Singers, Elmira College opera production, Munich (Germany) Chamber Choir, and with Opera Under the Stars, Rochester, in a lead role. He has been organist and choral director for several churches and was conductor of the Protestant Chapel Choir, Neubiberg Air Base, Germany.
wrong in presenting a candidate who clearly did not represent the wishes of the whole Democratic Party. We have learned that a party’s candidate must represent the whole party and not merely a highly spirited minority of that party.
To the Republicans: Your party is still safe--if you remove Nixon as its head.
America! How badly I want to love you and be proud to say “I am an American.” But until the Nixons of our country are rendered impotent, I can do neither of these. You are a young nation, a nation of a revolutionary and free spirit. In my twenty-three years of existence, I have watched you slowly lose this spirit. America,
I beg you, before it is too late: Impeach the bastard.
If Nixon escapes impeachment, I am left with one of two alternatives: either leave my country or find a spot in the woods and begin gathering weapons. I truly do not wish to do either.
I ask you, the reader, to write your senator or representative. Anyone, it does not matter if he is not the representative for your “district.” Write to any government official to whom you feel an affinity. Tell him you want Richard Nixon impeached. Tell him you will not accept a resignation but want Nixon tried for crimes against the people of our country. A letter, that is all I ask of you . . .

Student Judiciary Candidates Needed
At the meeting of Student Life, appointments to Student Judiciary were reviewed. The meeting was held in the ICC Trailer at 12:30 Thursday, November 1.
Student Judiciary appointments are usually made from students at large. At the meeting, the importance of this branch of students and faculty was discussed. Don Beck, Dean of Students, emphasized that this is like the highest court in the land for this is the highest any grievance can go on campus. The Judiciary operates as a jury trying cases which come before it dealing with anything from breaking windows to drug offenses, as well as expulsion from college. Its decisions are final, except that they must be reviewed by the president of the College. It was pointed out, however, that the president has never disagreed with the judiciary. The
White House Fellows
The President’s Commission on WHITE HOUSE FELLOWS is accepting applications until November 16, 1973 for its class from September 1, 1974 to September 1, 1975. This class will mark the tenth year of the program, and in that time 154 young men and women have been selected from more than 12,000 applications.
White House Fellows are selected to serve one-year terms as aides to Cabinet officers and White House officials. Fellows must be U.S. citizens and at least 23 years old but not 36 by September 1, 1974. A total of 18 Fellows served in the program last year.
Additional information and application forms may be obtained by writing Mr. Carl Grant, Director; President’s Commission on White House Fellows; 1900 East Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20415.
general purpose of the Judiciary is to handle matters which might normally be handled by the civil authorities internally, the reason being that a student would be judged by his or her own peers and would normally receive fairer treatment.
In light of this, a committee consisting of Don Beck, Tom Beiswenger, and Fran Hill was appointed by Lisa Haines, Student Life chairman. The committee will be meeting in the Activities Office in the Commons, on Wednesday. November 14, at 1 p.m. The meeting is open to any students wishing to be on the Student Judiciary.
In other proceedings of Student Life, the committee resolved that it will follow Parliamentary procedure in running the meetings.
Also, it was announced that the committee will meet twice monthly. The next meeting is on Thursday, November 14, at 12:30 p.m. in the ICC Trailer.
Lisa Haines announced that as a result of a controversy which arose at the last meeting, a committee to review membership of WCEB and Commons Committee was appointed. The meeting adjourned at 2 p.m.
Vockroth
Speaks
Richard W. Vockroth, Associate Professor of Mechanical Technology at Corning Community College, addressed the November meeting of the Olean Section of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
The dinner meeting was held at the Alfred State College Vocational Division in Wellsville on November 5.
Professor Vockroth’s topic was “Cultivating Creativity-Techniques for Developing and Utilizing Creative Talent.”

Sex: A biblical view
by Peter Schultz
Sex. Webster has it as “1. The fact or character of being either male or female persons of different sex, 2. Either of the two groups of persons exhibiting this character: the stronger sex; the gentle sex, 3. The sum of the structural and functional differences by which the male and female are distinguished, or the phenomena or behaviour dependent on these differences, 4. The instinct or attraction drawing one sex toward another, or its manifestation in life and conduct, 5. Coitus, 6. To engage in sexual intercourse.” What does the Bible say and why? Where is it at on marital, premarital, and extramarital sex? And
where is America standing in all this?
There are a variety of papers and books out dealing with this subject, all with differing opinions on the subject and all claiming that their interpretation is that written in the Bible. One only asks the question: Could they all have read the same book? The answer is simply, Yes, for it depends cm how strict of an interpreter one happens to be; plus the Bible gives very little on the morals of the act. What is said is clearly defined, but it is what isn’t said that is the cause of controversy.
As one author who prefers to
call himself a “flexible interpreter” states, “sexuality is good rather than sinful; it is a gift from God rather than something that man has conjured up, and is a healthy part of total personality.” This statement seems to bear out what is written throughout the Old Testament, for in that book there is a very high concept of sex. The book even openly admits the high incidence of extramarital sex. Extramarital sex was looked down upon and condemned; but even so, the writers of the Old Testament said that this was a fact of the time.
This high concept of sex began back in the opening book of the

Old Testament in which Genesis says that after making man and woman God said, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 1:28) It becomes apparent then that God made his creatures sexually, that the sexual drive which all of us have is Godmade and therefore meant to be there; that is, if you believe in the concept that God is all-perfect. At no point can it be found in the Bible that sexual intercourse was sinful, for the sex act was in keeping with God’s command to “be fruitful.”
Classical Judaism’s high concept of sex was continued in the New Testament through the teachings of Christ. It was never taught sex was impure or sinful. In talking with his disciples, Christ said, “Have you not read that He who made them male and female, and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the
Science Teachers Meet
Corning Community College was the site of a CCC high school articulation workshop for science teachers of the Southern Tier on Saturday, November 10, from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Science Building.
Science teachers from all the schools in Steuben, Chemung, Schuyler, Yates, and Allegany counties were cordially invited to join with teachers of science at CCC.
In announcing the workshop, Dr. Daniel B. Donovan of the Corning-Painted Post West High School and Professor Edward H. Nash, chairman of the biology and chemistry division of CCC, viewed this meeting as a reactivation of the Science Teachers Association of New York State (STANYS). The reorganization of STANYS for the Southern Zone with the aforementioned counties included represents a change that helped teachers attend meetings without traveling too great a distance.
The workshop provided the means for all science teachers in the area to discuss their mutual problems. The decision to have such a workshop grew out of meetings of some area high school science teachers with CCC per-
sonnel during the last academic year and out of some brief surveys that uncovered such concerns as, “What is being taught in freshman college courses these days?”, “How are students from our school stacking up at the college level?”, “How do you teach such and such a topic?”, “What special facilities, equipment, people are available for utilization by my classes?”, “Can we use the Observatory and Spencer Crest Nature Trail for our kids?”
These concerns and related topics, such as mini-courses, reading problems, survey of college courses, as well as a smorgasbord of twenty-minute presentations by staff of various schools made up the morning session.
Participating in the general session on mini-courses were Professor Mary Roche and Dr. Jack Anderson of CCC and John Kratzer of Elmira Free Academy.
The small group presentations in the various divisions were made as follows: In biology by Tom Fisher of Elmira Free Academy, Ruth Lynch of Corning-Painted Post East High and Jack Wills and John Brennan of CCC; in chemistry by Dr. Donovan, John

two shall become one?’ So they are no longer two but one. What therefore God has joined together, let not man put asunder.” (Matthew 19:4-6) Thus God made man and woman to pair off and have intercourse; and in this passage, the mention of intercourse for reproduction only wasn’t present. It seems, then that one may assume that sex was for pleasure also.
The negative attitude toward sex and marriage did not come until the teachings of Paul. It is purely evident, it seems, that Paul had a grudge; for every time he opinionated on the subject, he either pegged woman as the inferior sex or flayed marriage. Be mindful, however, that Paul must be taken with a grain of salt, for he is stating his opinion. He admitted to the fact that men and women do get married; but he took a negative attitude toward sex. In one (Continued on Page 6)

The luncheon speaker was Mrs. Evangeline Eckart of Pupil Personnel Services, Ithaca City Schools, on the topic, “Reading Problems and Science Textbooks.”
Three sessions were run concurrently in the afternoon. One on syllabi enabled participants to meet with faculty from CCC, SUNY Brockport, Ithaca College, and Elmira College who will share texts, lab manuals, handouts, course and unit objectives, and other materials and ideas.
Another session enabled area teachers to learn how their students are performing at CCC. An informal discussion was led by Anne Cohn, science counselor at CCC.
The third session provided an opportunity to examine physically certain resources discussed during the morning, including the nature trail and the observatory.
Bum Trips
by Barbara Fudala
At times, some of you have been in a situation where someone near you is bumming out on a hallucinogen. This can be a very frustrating experience, especially if you don’t know how to help the person.
In most cases the drug is LSD and/or PCP but may be said to be MDA, STP, peyote, psilocybin, or mescaline. These drugs alter the person’s perception of his environment. These drugs are not physically addicting, so there is no overdose potential; but a watchful eye should be kept for signs of sickness and deterioration (usually caused by poisoning), which can be caused by impurities in the drug. Vomiting should never be induced, as it may cause convulsions. If you are uncertain whether or not the person is becoming sick or is having tripping reactions, it is wise to get medical help. Doctors and nurses are bound by confidentiality.
A bad trip is usually a panic reaction on the part of the tripper. If you want to help, you should secure the scene. It is important to remain calm so that you may get a better grasp of the situation. If you are in control, you will be more effective in helping the person. And the tripper can sense whether or not you are in control. Mostly, be sensitive, gentle, and understanding. It is not your place to pass judgment and put the person down. The important thing now is to reassure the tripper and turn the bum trip into an enjoyable experience. Bumming out is very real and serious to the person involved. He is frightened and needs help. If you feel that you are not helping the tripper, get someone else -- preferably someone who has dealt in these kinds of situations.
Cut down the amount of stimuli.
If possible, get the person to a quiet place that he feels comfortable in. Remind the person that it is drug-induced experience and that it will soon wear off. In talking the tripper down, try to get his mind on something real, yourself possibly, by being warm and reassuring. Or, give him something pleasant to do or look at. The tripper does find things very interesting, and it is easy for him to spend a lot of time examining one thing. Physical contact can be very reassuring. It can give the tripper a very tangible point of reality. Constantly reassure him that everything will be okay, and work at getting his head into something pleasant.
Losing touch with “everyday reality” can sometimes be a very frightening thing. The bum-tripper may feel that he is going insane. He may not know where he is or how he got there. You may find that showing him around and showing him how he got there will help him to feel better about himself. If he is speaking incoherently, try to pick up repeated words or a phrase and ask questions about it.
If there is something in the environment which is bumming the tripper out, remove it if you can. If that’s not possible, you may consider removing the person to a place comfortable to him. If neither are possible, it will take more effort to get his mind off the problem; but be patient.
LSD is potentialed by beer, cheese, and chocolate. This means that if a person is taking these while he is tripping, the trip may be more intense and last longer. A citric acid such as orange juice, may help to bring the tripper down.
Remember that if you are not helping the person, get someone else!

campus colloquy

For
Guest
the third year in a row, Conductor Arthur Fiedler will open the Syracuse Symphony Pops series at Temple Adath Yes - hurun with another of his unique Pops programs combining choice bits from the classics with some contemporary favorites. The opening program of the series of five cabaret-style concerts will take place on Sunday evening, November 18 at 9 p.m.
Arthur Fiedler will get the evening off to a royal start with the Water Music which George Frederick Handel composed to entertain George III’s courtiers at a regal river party. This will be followed by one of the most romantic of all Violin Concertos, Tchaikovsky’s Concerto for Violin and Orchestra in D major, Opus 35. The soloist will be the brilliant young Korean violinist, Dong-Suk Kang.
In a more contemporary vein, the music on the latter half of the program includes Ralph Vaughan Williams’ popular “Fantasia on Greensleeves,” selections from Leonard Bernstein’s “West Side Story,” and an orchestral version of Melanie’s “Look What They’ve Done to My Song.”
Fiedler, who has earned the title of “Mr. Pops” since he took charge of the Boston Pops Orchestra more than 40 years ago, will prove that at the age of 79 he’s still going as strong as ever. In a two week tour of New York State and Pennsylvania with the Syracuse Symphony Pops Orchestra, he will conduct no fewer than eleven concerts.
The second concert of the Syracuse Symphony Pops series at the Temple Adath on Saturday, December 15th, is designed to get the concert-goers into the holiday spirit. Calvin Custer, regular conductor of the Syracuse Symphony Pops Orchestra, has selected a program of music specially for the Christmas season.
The great jazz pianist Dave Brubeck will be the featured artist at the third concert on Saturday, January 12. Brubeck will be joined by his sons, Darius, Chris and Dan. He will join the Syracuse Pops Orchestra for one number, and then will solo with his own ensemble.
The Syracuse Symphony Rock Ensemble, a regular attraction on the Pops series, will be the featured artists on Saturday, March 2. Calvin Custer, who is
leader and arranger of the Rock Ensemble, will lead them and the Pops Orchestra in his swinging updated arrangements of orchestral classics.
For the final concert of the series, on Saturday, April 27, Guest Conductor Mitch Miller returns to conduct orchestra and audience alike in another of his “Sing Along with Mitch” programs.
All concerts will be held in the ballroom of Temple Adath Yes-hurun on Kimber Road in Syracuse. With the exception of the opening concert, curtain time is 8:30. Concert goers are invited to “Make a Party of It” by reserving a table for ten with their friends. Doors open an hour in advance of the concert, and drinks and refreshments will be available continuously.

Go Where the Action Is
by Henry Mancini
(In the ever-broadening field of music, Henry Mancini has no peer. Internationally known for his motion picture scores, which have earned him 12 Academy Award nominations and three golden Oscars; his TV themes; his million-selling albums, which have netted over 20 Grammy Awards; his TV Specials and his campus and symphony orchestra concerts, Mr. Mancini is a composer-conductor and arranger of unusual talent. Vitally concerned with developing new talent, he has established music scholarships, funds and grants at UCLA, USC, and The Julliard School of Music).
The only basic problem with young people seeking a professional career in music is that they are always in a hurry. The years of study required to achieve any degree of recognition in the field invariably turns all but the supremely dedicated individual away from pursuing such a career.
If I were to look for an equation for the success I have enjoyed, it would have to be equal parts

Clearinghouse Begins Operation
One of the programs Student Association of the State University (SASU) staff will be organizing this year is the establishment of an information clearinghouse, a collection of filed data on the New York State Legislature, SUNY Central, the Board of Trustees, the Faculty Senate, College Councils and Student Associations from each of the SUNY schools. Daily newspapers, educational periodicals and the campus press will keep SASU in constant touch with new developments in the area of New York State Higher Education. Legal advice on student related issues will also be a part of this Information Clearinghouse.
The Clearinghouse will aid staff members in answering campus requests for information. It will exist to fulfill information needs of a specialized nature not necessarily covered by SASU publications.

Requests for information last year ranged from inquiries in dormitory residency laws to language and physical education requirements to the effects of New York State’s new drug law.
The Information Clearinghouse evolved from SASU’s need to retain useful information and disseminate it, upon request, to each of the member campuses. The contacts that spring from the project will facilitate SASU’s day-to-day business and to forewarn the organization of key, upcoming issues in the field of higher education. Thus, the Clearinghouse is closely related to other SASU services and campus requests for information are handled as important forms of input toward shaping organizational directions and increasing overall effectiveness.
For the Clearinghouse project to be successful, we need the cooperation of each of the campuses. We need the following information from each of the SUNY schools:
-	Map of the campus area.
-	Directions to the campus.
-	Student Publications.
-	Student orientation Handbook.
-	Course catalogs.
-	College phone directory.
-	Faculty handbook.
The information should be sent to SASU, 109 State Street; Albany, New York 12208.

of craftsmanship and experience, plus a full measure of luck and multiplied by great lengths of time.
I’ve been asked by many budding musicians if I always had a burning inner ambition to compose and play. In our family, there was always a great love of music -- but I have never felt myself to be a “driven” creative genius. I don’t subscribe to the cliche which has all musicians burning the midnight oil, composing feverishly where-ever and whenever the mood strikes. I rarely compose for my own pleasure. It’s usually a film or TV assignment or arranging for an upcoming concert or record that sets my musician’s mind to work. When I am working, it’s during normal hours. I also set myself a deadline for completion and work steadily to that end -- I don’t like to be rushed.
To acquire this kind of craftsmanship, one needs instruction and the capability of applying that knowledge. Colleges and universities abound in good teachers --some more than others in a particular field. An instrumentalist has different needs from those of the struggling composer or arranger. The instrumentalist must have a good teacher, but the composer and arranger requires teachers and an orchestra which will “sound” the written notes.
But it is truly after graduation that the musician really begins to feel the pinch. For a time, applying any new found craft in local surroundings is satisfactory, but all too soon the more gifted become restless and dissatisfied with the lack of continuing challenges or new opportunities. At this time, I say “Go where the action is.” To arrange or compose for films and television one must go to Hollywood. The instrumentalist must pack up for New York, Hollywood, or Chicago. A singer soon discovers that most of the major recording studios are in New York, Hollywood, and Nashville. Those with stage aspirations must make Broadway their goal. Leaving familiar and safe sur-
roundings and receptive ears is a hard move to make, but it must be made.
During the difficult period of readjustment, I encourage the novice to meet as many people in a similar field as humanly possible. Don’t become a nuisance, but leave no stone unturned, no possible contact untouched. Also try to keep learning on a more professional level, especially from those who can provide insight as to what is expected of a professional in a particular field.
Success is not usually easy or fast. The luxury of becoming discouraged and quitting is always present. During the difficult times during my early career, I often found myself asking if this was what I really wanted. My answer then is the same one I would give today, an unqualified “Yes.”

BOSTON TEA PARTY
by People s Bicentennial Commission prepared by Page Smith, staff historian
The 200th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party is a most appropriate occasion for Americans to reflect upon the meaning of that remarkable event. It came about in a commonplace enough way. Lord North decided to bail out the bankrupt East India Company by unloading their tea in America. First it must be said that the East India Company was one of the most cruel and ruthless exploiters in the whole dark history of colonial exploitation. It had pillaged a continent with unparalleled thoroughness and rapacity and been, in turn, pillaged by its own agents and directors. It had maintained a private army, that sometimes numbered 75,000 men, to promote its interests. It had helped to corrupt Parliament and it had fought off all efforts to regulate or control it by raising a great outcry in Parliament and out, about the sacredness of private property.
By 1773, its misdeeds had, despite the millions of pounds it had exacted from Indian peasants, brought it to the verge of bankruptcy. Lord North, largely devoid of the most basic attributes of the successful politician, was delighted with the idea of propping up East India Company and showing up the Americans at the same time. The scenario went something like this. The Americans were always prating about liberty and “rights.” Any shrewd observer of the American colonists knew
how to translate this clamor about “rights” into shillings and pence. What the Americans really meant was that they wished to make a larger profit in commercial matters than their British counterparts.
Thus the way to expose their hypocrisy was to make them an offer they couldn’t refuse -- in other words a bargain. Money, after all, was what Americans cared most about. The offer was simply cut-rate tea. Thus by waiving the regular duty -- tea was a government monopoly -- and replacing it by a small tax, North felt he could so tempt the Americans as to induce them to forget their scruples about taxes -- s c r up 1 e s that were in any event, in North’s opinion, monetary considerations rather than lofty political principles.
So it was done, hastily, inefficiently (the colonial officials responsible were never sent adequate instructions in regard to it) and, above all, foolishly.
The patriots were instantly aroused and everywhere determined that the tea should not be landed, or if landed, not sold. At Charleston, South Carolina, the tea ships were turned back. In Philadelphia a meeting of patriots declared any person who “in any wise aid or abet in unloading or receiving or vending the tea” was an “enemy to his country.” Any pilot who brought a ship bearing tea into the Delaware River
Sex
(Continued from Page 4)
passage, Paul thought the world was going to end and stated that, “The appointed time has grown short, and from now on let those who have wives live as though they had none.” (I Corinthians 7:29) Thus, he is saying that when the world comes to an end, don’t get caught having intercourse with your wife. Where did such a negative attitude come from when earlier in the Bible, having sex was in keeping with God's commission that man was joined to his wife in marriage and the two were to become one? All one can surmise is that Paul had a bad experience and it, unfortunately, warped his view of this Godly institution.
The worst part of it all is that certain institutions have taken this opinion and formed their views on marriage around this. One notable example is the Catholic Church of Rome, which claims that it is the one true Church. The Catholic Church, historically, has had major impact on world affairs: and so, often what the Catholic Church says becomes adopted throughout the other religious sects. In this faith, priests are the closest to God; for they give up all the ways of the world to follow Christ (including marriage), for, as Paul said, “The unmarried man is anxious about the affairs of the Lord, how to please the Lord; but the married man is anxious about worldly affairs, how to please his wife.” (I Corinthians 7:32-33). Plus the Catholics are affected by another individual with a warped opinion; the man is St. Augustine, the sinner and adulterer who turned good. In this transformation, he went off on the other extreme; he was even more down on sex than Paul was. It is the combination of these two that brought Rome’s ruling that a priest must remain a virgin, “untainted.” Also, the priesthood is higher than marriage. This thinking has combined to give us this dirty outlook on sex.
Now to get to modern times. The Bible takes a firm stand on extramarital sex and seems to say that sex is for marriage, but not clearly. We come now to the Puritans, the first settlers in America. The Puritans said that sex was totally impure, and people were even hanged for supposed “sex crimes.” The Puritans took the view that sex was a necessary evil for the sake of reproduction
only; and to enjoy it as pleasureful was a capital crime and punishable by law. A good illustration of this can be found in Hawthorne’s book. The Scarlet Letter. It is these Puritans that have forged the way for America's fear of sex. We have 1egis1ation on it: we censor it wherever possible: we even put taboos on some words which designate the sex act. The word “fuck” is not slang, but an abbreviation used for the sex act during the Puritan era. A person guilty of it for pleasure was put in stockades and the inscription “Fornication Under Carnal Knowledge” was put above the “criminal.”
In Europe, sex is openly displayed. Look at Sweden and Denmark, the pornographic capitals of the world: but sex to the Europeans is second nature for. strangely enough, they weren't influenced by the Puritans. Instead, they kicked them out and over to America they came. In America, the incidence of sex crimes is phenomenal; but in Europe, where sex is commonplace, it is all but unheard of.
The Puritans’ ideas on sex were, according to them, all in the name of God. Obviously, someone wasn’t reading the same book which tells of the beauties of sex and has man joined to woman and the two become one. Thus, it seems that the Puritans have saddled us with their perverted ideas on sex; and it is about time that they come into modern times. The Bible is the basis of a full life, it seems, and part of that life which the Bible talks about extensively is sex. Where did we get it wrong?
was threatened with tar and feathers. New York followed suit.
In Boston, Governor Thomas Hutchinson had long endured the insults and denunciations of the patriots with, he felt, precious little support from the British government. If the tea were landed at Boston and the patriot leaders took violent action against the tea (property) or the persons who conveyed it or sold it, then, surely, the full force of British wrath must descend on Hutchinson’s tormentors, squelching them once and for all.
Hutchinson persisted and the Boston Sons of Liberty resisted, as he had wished and anticipated. The crucial point, of course, was what form their resistance should take. The patriot leaders realized consciously (or subconsciously out of their remarkably sophisticated political instincts) that their action should be swift and efficient as well as strikingly dramatic. Nine years earlier at the time of the Stamp Act they had been as alarmed as the British officials at the unruly mobs who roamed the streets of Boston, smashing houses and threatening death and destruction to any who opposed them.

EAT!
One of the largest events to be staged by students this year at Corning Community College will take place on Sunday, November 18, when the International Club presents their “International Evening."
“We are making plans to accommodate 400 guests,” Professor Gin K. Gee, co-advisor to the Club, said, “and we hope Corning-Elmira area residents will join us for a special evening.” Professor Robert T. Giuffrida also serves as advisor.
The 5:00 cocktail hour will signal the beginning of a kaleidoscope of gourmet food, entertainment and dancing.
An international dinner will be served from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. in the Commons dining room. It will feature such fare as sweet and sour chicken, lomo saltado, pilau, udyu, Janaki rice, vala, Platano de, pyrogi, gueso al horno, Cebiche, and desserts from many countries.
Following dinner, students from several countries will present a musicale featuring dancing and songs of their respective countries accompanied by native instruments. Each will be dressed in costumes of their native country.

Sons of Liberty had shaped a highly disciplined political organization. History does not tell us the name of the genius who thought of the Indian masquerade but once the style had been determined, the operation itself was as carefully organized as a guerrilla raid into enemy territory. The “Indians” did not know the names of their leaders or of any other “Indians” except those in their “unit” and, even here, hastily applied soot or grease concealed identities.
The raid went off with military precision. The dye was cast; England must react and war must follow. John Adams, out of town the fateful night, returned to find the whole city throbbing and buzzing with excitement. He wrote exultantly in his diary:
“Last Night 3 Cargoes of Bohea Tea were emptied into the Sea. This is the most magnificent moment of all. There is a Dignity, a Majesty, a Sublimity, in this last Effort of the Patriots, that I greatly admire. The People should never rise, without doing something notable and striking. This Destruction of the Tea is so bold, so daring, so firm, intrepid and inflexible, and it must have so important Consequences, and so lasting, that I can’t but consider it as an Epocha in History.” And so it was. An epocha, a dazzling dramatic production that would be remembered as long as men recalled the past. It was pre-eminently what we today would call “guerrilla theatre” -- it enacted ideas and principles in a way so vivid that no one could miss the point. Men’s minds and hearts are not changed, for the most part, by books and learned treatises (although Heaven knows, the Revolutionary patriots produced enough of those); they are changed, much more commonly, by experiences, by gut-level feelings and reactions -- by, in one form or another, dramatic representation. It will seem, doubtless, blasphemous to some, but the closest present-day analogies to the Boston Tea Party are just such symbolic enactments -- the march on Selma; Martin Luther King’s “I Had a Dream . . .” speech before tens of thousands of blacks and whites on the
Washington Mall; the great Anti-Viet Nam War rallies that created a new conscience and consciousness in America; and, yes, perhaps most dramatic of all, the guerrilla theatre of the Black Panthers who challenged the repressiveness of white law enforcement agencies by confronting the agents of the repression in dreadfully dangerous but unforgettable encounters. To compare the “guerrilla theatre” of the Black Panthers to the guerrilla theatre of the Boston Tea Party, however offensive to many twentieth-century Americans may have the salutary effect of forcing us to look both at that event and its present-day analogues with new eyes. For its own time and place the Boston Tea Party was as radical and revolutionary, as boldly contemptuous of official law and order as the appearance of the Black Panthers, armed to the teeth at the capitol buildings of the State of California in 1967.
So I would make two points: The Boston Tea Party was guerrilla theatre in the most fundamental sense of that phrase. As such, it crystallized patriotic sentiment as nothing else could have, and, moreover, threw down a challenge to British authority so bold and unequivocal that it could not be ignored. It was not a colorful pageant -- a story in a text book-- it was an inspired revolutionary act which changed the course of history.
Stage Band
by Kip Said
Members of the college community who attended the annual Fall concert of the College Chorus may have been surprised to discover that another performing group has attached itself to the music department.
Since the Band is a non-credit course, the members of the organization are there solely out of their enjoyment of music and their hopes of setting a trend toward a stronger instrumental music program at the College in the future. All members of the (Continued on Page 8)

Maybe the way to change the world is to join a large corporation.
We don’t make a lot of noise, but this is where it’s really happening. You see, a large corporation like Kodak has the resources and the skill to make this world a little more decent place to live. And we intend to do what we can to see that this is exactly what happens.
Take our home city, Rochester, New York for example. We cut water pollution in the Genesee River by using natural bacteria to dispose of unnatural wastes. We cut air pollution by using electrostatic precipitators in a new combustible waste disposal facility. We helped set up a black enterprise program in downtown Rochester, and we’ve been experimenting with film as a way to train both teachers and students—including some students who wouldn’t respond to anything else.
And we didn’t stop with Rochester. Kodak is involved in 47 countries all over the world. Actively involved.
Why? Because it’s good business. Helping to clean the Genesee River not only benefits society... but helps protect another possible source for the clean water we need to make our film. Our combustible waste disposal facility not only reduces pollution... but just about pays for itself in heat and power production and silver recovery. Our black enterprise program not only provides an opportunity for the economically disadvantaged... but helps stabilize communities in which Kodak can operate and grow. And distributing cameras and film to teachers and students not only helps motivate the children... but helps create a whole new market.
In short, it’s simply good business. And we’re in business to make a profit. But in furthering our business interests, we also further society’s interests.
And that’s good. After all, our business depends on society. So we care what happens to it.
Kodak
More than a business.

CCC Volleyball
The CCC Women’s Volleyball Team opened its season officially on Wednesday, Nov. 8, on their home court against Broome Community College. This game was the first of four league games. Our women won two games to one. It was an easy victory for them as they put their second string in after the first two games to continue the romp. The team also has played three scrimmages against four year schools. They lost hard-

fought battles against Geneseo and Ithaca, and they beat Elmira three games to zip.
Returning from last year with more experience and a lot of improvement are: Wendy Biggs, Jean Farmer, Janet Far well, Roberta Hickman, Mary Lollis, and Anne Maloney. Rounding off the rest of the team and proving themselves to be valuable assets are: Connie Gruen, Kathy Kennedy, Kathy Kluz, Sherry Simpson, Sue Tietje, Maxa Whitford, and Debbie Wiker.
Under the fine coaching of Miss Lee, and with the help of manager Cheryl Batley and trainer Theresa Meehan, and with the first win under their belt, the team is looking toward a promising season.
Wrestling
A wrestling clinic was held at Elmira Notre Dame High School on Sunday, November 11.
The clinic, which was sponsored by the Notre Dame Athletic Association, featured Tony Policare, a University of Buffalo graduate who was an NCAA Eastern Finalist in ’72 and ’73, finished second in the U.S. University World Game trials and is currently head wrestling coach of Notre Dame High School; Greg Johnson, a graduate of Michigan State, a three-time NCAA champion, Outstanding Wrestler, Most Outstanding Athlete Award M.S.U., a member of the United States Dual Team versus the U.S.S.R. and currently an assistant coach at Clarion State, Pennsylvania; and a guest counselor, Wade “Pinning Wizard” Schalles, twice an NCAA College and University Division Champion, a silver medalist in the European Tourney, and was voted the Outstanding Wrestler in the nation.
All areas of wrestling were covered with emphasis on takedowns and pins. The schedule called for instruction and practice from 10 a.m. - noon; lunch, which was available at the school from noon-1 p.m.; another instruction and practice drill from 1 p.m.-3 p.m.; and a question-

Grapplers
Due to the fact that there are only three returning wrestlers from last year, there are many positions up for grabs. The only way to get to a starting spot is to work harder than the other man in your weight class.
Every day the grapplers have a rigorous practice session. Running constitutes a main part of the practice, as it is necessary to get in shape and keep your weight at a desired level. The wrestlers must run a half mile before and after practice. Besides the running, there are many drills to go through to sharpen their skills for the up-coming season. After the drills, the men are separated into weight classes and wrestle among themselves to see how their skills perform in real match conditions.
With many tough-looking freshmen, the wrestling team should have as good or even better season than last year.
department and the physical education department.
Unsure footing was the highlight of the game, as both teams slid on the wet grass. The physical education team won the first out of three tugs with hard pulling and the advantage of being on the downhill side. On the second tug the two teams traded sides giving the math team the downhill advantage, and they took it. Math won the second tug as the physical education department slid across the center marker. For the third tug, the rope was turned sideways so that both teams would have an equal advantage.
The rope was longer than the lawn was across, and math’s anchorman took advantage of this fact when he used the curb to brace himself. Math won the last tug and thus became the winner of “The Golden Rope” award.
The names of the members who slipped, pulled, and probably froze a few fingers are:
MATH
McInroy, Hoover, Campbell, Smith, Morrell, Thomas.
PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Polo, Beebe, Washington, Barton, Galloway, Craumer.
Both teams deserve a “well done” for giving all they had despite the odds.
