College Pays $40,000 After State Audit
Coming Community College recently paid over $40,000 to the state following an audit of the operating budget by the state auditor.
The audit, the first one since 1966, found certain inequities in the college’s use of its operating
budget. However, in explaining the audit’s effect, Robert W. Frederick, President of the college, said that the penalties were paid out of “accumulated surpluses.” There will be no cuts in this year’s budget, he stressed, but it may mean a tighter budget next year.
The college depends on these surpluses to help subsidize many contingency plans.
Frederick said, though, that “all colleges are being slapped hard by the auditors” because the audits only come every seven years. Therefore, in the absence of spe-
Package For Community Colleges Trustees Propose New Aid
Albany, N.Y. -- The type of curriculum in which students are enrolled, and the cost of underwriting associated course work, would be the basis for State support of community college operating budgets under a long-range legislative program recommended recently by the State University Board of Trustees.
The suggested new basis for operating aid assistance, which would not become effective until fiscal 1976-77, is a major provision of a comprehensive University proposal dealing with many areas of financial support for the state’s thirty-eight community colleges.
In the period before implementation of a new support formula could take effect, the Board of Trustees suggested an increase in the basic aid formula ceiling of at least forty dollars a year per pupil to a maximum of forty-nine dollars, effective July 1,1974. For most colleges the ceiling on basic aid per student then would be six hundred seventy dollars.
This action by the Trustees responded to provisions of the Omnibus Higher Education Act(Chap-ter 708) passed during the 1973 session of the Legislature directing the Board to develop a new formula for financing community college operations.
Overall, the recommended program is in three segments:
1	- Additional financial support in 1974-75 which recognizes the increased operating costs faced by the institutions since the present ceilings were established in 1970.
This year’s proposed boosts in basic aid ceilings from six hundred and twenty-one to six hundred and seventy dollars per fulltime equivalent student would affect all but four of the thirty-eight community colleges operating under the program of State University. At the colleges which do not
participate in the Full Opportunity Program* (Nassau, Suffolk, Erie and Jefferson) the ceilings would increase from five hundred and eighteen to five hundred and fifty-eight dollars.
The Trustees also recommend elimination of the limitation of thirty-five dollars on the increase or decrease of state aid from one year to the next.
2	- Middle-range proposals to regularize budgeting, accounting, aid payment and review procedures, effective in July of 1975.
Among these new proposals suggested for fiscal 1975-76 is one which would provide additional relief for communities with low property values which are required to support their institutions through extremely high tax rates.
Eligible colleges would be determined on the basis of 1973-74 experiences. Preliminary estimates indicate approximately five institutions could be eligible to receive an additional increment of thirty-five dollars per fulltime equivalent student.
Several accountability features would also become regularized. Proposed is a uniform community college fiscal year of July 1 -June 30; a common budget submission date of February 1, and a statutory schedule of state aid payments. All colleges would be statutorily required to adopt the Uniform System of Accounts for Community Colleges prescribed by the State Comptroller.
3	- A long-range revision of operating aid by type of program, effective July 1, 1976.
Under legislation adopted during the 1973 session, community colleges presently are eligible'for a differential of one hundred and fifty dollars per year for students enrolled in technical programs which frequently require expensive and sophisticated laboratory equipment. This extra support would be continued as part of the
Trustees’ recommendations.
The Board’s major proposal, however, is designed to distribute state support more equitably among the campuses by recognizing the substantially varying expenses associated with different curricula.
In some instances higher expenditures reflect the utilization of expensive equipment in the training program. In others, the cost differential reflects the long hours of close faculty supervision in clinical instruction or laboratory contact.
The Trustees, in devising their analysis of operating costs, will take into consideration annual changes in statewide and regional economic conditions, the differential costs of administering large and small institutions, and costs associated with the provision of remedial counseling and tutorial services to disadvantaged students. Specifics of the formula are expected to be completed by this spring.
State University estimates cost of implementing the changes in the aid package at seven point two million dollars for the 1974-75 college fiscal year.
The Trustees’ resolution will be forwarded to the Governor for consideration and submission as a program bill during the current legislative session.
More than fifty-five percent of all New York State’s public university students now attend college for the first time at community colleges. Total full-time enrollment on the thirty-eight campuses exceeds one hundred and eleven thousand. Part-time enrollment totals ninety-three thousand.
*The Full Opportunity Program guarantees admission to immediate high school graduates and returning veterans who reside in the sponsorship area of participating community colleges.
Southside Chemung On The Move
Southside Chemung County residents, including South Elmira, Ashland, Southport, Pine City, Wellsburg, and Lowman, are finally in the process of improving their community through the newly-organized Public Research and Development Council.
This council consists of temporary co-chairmen county legislators Stan Douglas (Ninth District), and Paul Prunier (Eighth District). Concerned residents comprise the remainder of the council. All Southside Chemung County residents are welcomed and urged to join. Why?
Would you like to see a new medical center, recreation, license bureau, retail businesses, office space, mental health facilities, a branch library, and a day care center in south Chemung County? This will mean not having
to cope with the dangerous hassle that lies over on the “Other side of the bridge.” This organization also will act as a sort of feret to bring the community’s issues to the foreground to be acted upon - efficiently and wisely. This organization, once realized, will be the first of its kind in the country.
In order for this organization to act at its greatest capacity, it needs people like you with diverse talents to offer. The organization is h e 1 p -t h e-community-help-your-self oriented. So invest in the community by giving a little part of your time and energy. In return you will help build a healthier community atmosphere!
If you would like to help--the next meeting of the council will be publicized in this paper.
cific guidelines, colleges had to make their own interpretations.
The audit hit the collie hardest in the Continuing Education department. According to Frederick, the college offered night school courses in area outside the Coming-Painted Post school district as well as within it. The students taking these courses were counted in the college’s enrollment. In doing this the college received more state aid because of the added credits. “This was illegal,” said Frederick. According to the state education laws, students taking continuing education courses outside of the sponsoring college’s school district cannot be counted in computing the amount of state aid due to that college.
This represents a sort of loss to the college because the aid received through these students helped cover some of the college’s overhead. As it stands now these courses are still offered but no state aid is claimed through them. Thus, according to Frederick, “we are just breaking even,” the students taking continuing education courses pay tuition and this covers just the variable costs but it “doesn’t pick up the overhead costs.”
Other inequities found in the budgets of 1966-1973 included giving fringe benefits to intercolle-
giate sports coaches. This was found illegal because these sports are funded by the activities fee paid by the students. Consequently, if the coaches are to receive fringe benefits, they must derive from the student activity fund says the state. The college suspended this practice last year.
The auditors also found that in past years the food services program here made approximately $7,000. This was “profit” to the college and auditors said that approximately thirty percent of it had to be turned over to the state.
The majority of the money to pay the penalties come from the Faculty - Student Association surplus fund. This money was supposed to be used for a variety of special projects, but due to the audit, money was either cut back or not funded at all.
The 74-75 college operating budget was not affected by the audit, but was changed to satisfy the auditors. The budget as released by Frederick is as follows:
50.8% -- instruction 4.9% -- library 8.2% -- Student services 10.3% -- Maintenance and operation
8.1% -- adminstration 14.5% -- fringe benefits and retirement programs

PERSPECTIVE
by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief
It’s Not Polite To Look A Gift Horse In
Are physical education courses worth more than half a semester hour credit? Faculty Council doesn’t seem to think so, even though it would bring extra funds to this campus.
Yep, folks, the faculty last year defeated a resolution to up the credit to one semester hour purely on the basis that physical education is not worth one credit.
By rights, these courses should be alloted not just one credit, but one and a half credits in comparison to the time spent in class with a three-credit hour course. The way things are set up presently, a course with a three-credit weight meets two or three times a week, totaling approximately three hours of in-class
The Mouth
time. Take for instance the average physical education course with a half credit weight, this class meets twice a week for eight weeks which yields one and a half hours in-class time per week. There seems to be an inequity.
Many of these courses require a lot of hard physical work, and even homework sometimes. Raising the credit weight would not only bring more revenue to the campus, but it also could stand to upgrade the quality of these courses and effort put into them by students. Who wants to work their butt off for half a credit?
However, what sticks out like a sore thumb is the part that the faculty failed to see the gift horse. The state allots financial
aid on the basis of the total number of credits contracted by the entire student body. By raising the credit given for physical education, you also raise the total credit hours contracted. According to President Frederick, this could mean several thousand dollars in aid and could be plowed back into instruction to upgrade facilities, open more courses or any number of things.
Sounds too simple, too easy, you say. That’s true but that is about all there is to it. It’s totally legal and many campuses are already doing it to this very end, but, our faculty defeated it on the basis of principle. It’s not polite to look a gift horse in the mouth!
Letters to the Editor
Sex Discrimination
To the Editor:
Should women get the same consideration when they apply for credit cards and loans that men receive?
Of course, they should. But the fact is they don’t. Discrimination based on sex or marital status in connection with the extension of credit is commonplace in New York and throughout the nation.
Here are some examples that have come to my attention:
A woman in her 40’s, head of a household, wanted a house for herself and her children. She couldn’t get a mortgage loan without the signature of her 70-year-old father, who was living on a pension.
A woman widowed for six years found it easier to open charge accounts in her dead husband’s name than in her own.
A recently-married working woman, who had good credit when she was single, could not reopen her credit accounts because her husband had a bad credit record.
The gravely false assumption underlying this discrimination is that women cannot manage their finances and are bad credit risks.
But when the National Commission on Consumer Finance held hearings on this subject last year there was no testimony that would or could support such a ridiculous assumption. On the contrary, the only available study found women are better credit risks than men!
This form of discrimination, like other forms of bias against women, needs to be ended.

Classified Ads
To the Editor:
I view the recent decision by your editorial board to charge 50 cents for Classified Ads in the Crier as extremely poor judgment on the part of those involved.
It is very unfortunate indeed that you find it necessary to charge students for the use of a publication for which they have already paid in excess of $10,000 through their “student activities fee.”
If you find it impossible to finance the student publication on the $4,982 remaining in your budget as of this day, then I respectfully submit that you should raise your display advertising rates to meet your costs of production. After all, the Crier has no competition to speak of on campus, which gives you an untapped market to sell to your advertisers.
In closing, I would like to point out that the Crier has never asked students for money for their classified ads in the past, and it is my considered opinion that this is no time to start. With prices soaring and student financial aid, being based on the most part of 1960’s prices, students do not need the added financial burden of paying twice for a newspaper which is theirs in the first place.

News Analysis
NIXON’S
ADDRESS
by George Marder United Press International
President Nixon gambled and won.
On Jan. 31st, Nixon reported not only to Congress on the State of the Union. He reported to the American people on Richard Nixon.
The Richard Nixon the people saw on television was a forceful President, in full command of the office, who had led the nation to a time when it never had things so good.
There was little hint that here was an embattled president, virtually under siege, haunted by the chant of crook. Even when Nixon spoke of Watergate, it was only to say that a year was enough and Watergate should be brought to an end. While he was talking one could almost forget that the year had brought his administration to shambles . . . with a Vice President gone in dis-grace . . . top White House aides under criminal indictment, and some headed for prison having confessed their guilt.
Boldly, Nixon spoke as though (Continued on Page 9)

Sex Crime Or Sin???
You know, it’s amazing what you can find in a textbook. I, for example, came across something in my Sociology assignment the other day that I found quite interesting.
In 1970 the President decided to find out the effect of pornography on the minds of the American people. To do this, he appointed the President’s Commission on Obsenity and Pornography. They duly went about their job, and, after much investigation, reported that the theory that pornography in literature and films causes sex crimes is largely composed of horsefeathers. More specifically, they reported that there was no evidence that use of pornography or other sexual materials play any role in causing sex crimes, delinquency, sexual or non-sexual deviancy, or emotional disturbances.
So, proving once again that the best way to anger the government is to tell them the truth, the Senate voted overwhelmingly (60 to 5) to reject the commission’s finding. President Nixon, jumping on the sexual ignorance bandwagon, also declared that the truth about pornography was a pack of lies.
I can only say that he was lucky that the bandwagon didn’t need a new donkey.
Of course, the great pornography witch hunt is not limited to Capitol Hill, as anyone who lives in Corning probably knows. Our own local theatre has been busted twice in the past year, and will no doubt be busted again. You see, the police send a representative to the theatre every Friday night, just to make sure that nothing dirty is shown. From what I understand. the Chief of Police even attends on occasions. (He probably doesn’t trust the job to any rookies.)
The first time the Fox was busted was for a charming little film called “The Devil in Miss Jones.” This film about the exploits of a sweet young innocent
Game
by David W. Game
A spectacular bit of cooperation took place at the first ICCmeeting for this semester, and it’s renewed my faith in cooperation between organizations on campus.
For ten years, your newspaper has been operating in room 107 of the Commons, a room so small that the editor couldn’t safely take his shoes off. Imagine ten or so irritable staff people crammed into this room after a long Sunday layout, and you can see why the Crier staff always seemed so strange. Things were so close that if you went out with another staff member, it was considered near-incest.
But now the light at the doorway can be seen; the Crier finally has badly needed space, and it’s all because of the energy crisis.
Over minimester, the temperature in the Commons was dropped to inhuman levels, so the Crier moved it’s offices - temporarily-to the ICC trailer. It was so comfortable that for once, the
broke records at the Fox for several weeks, largely due to the free publicity granted it by the Corning Police. I haven’t seen the film, but I understand that it deals with oral sex, which, as everyone knows, is illegal in most states, and also causes homosexuality, brain damage, backaches, and warts.
So, the film was confiscated, tne theatre got a spare, there were stories in the paper and everyone was happy.
Eventually, for those of you who didn’t notice, the case was dropped.
I can’t understand why all of this is going on. Why has sex been made illegal? Why has it been shaded a dirty, smoky shadowy brown?
This, after all, is America, land of the free, etc. etc. etc. Why then, is a man or woman not free to be entertained in any way he sees fit? Maybe you would never pay $3.00 to see people having sex on a screen. Well, that’s fine, because confidentially, ne ithe r would I. But (and this is an important but), I think that if anyone does want to pay $3.00 to see a skin flick, he should be allowed to.
I’m sure that many rapists have, at one time in their lives, seen a porno flick, I am equally sure that many schoolteachers, politicians, garbage collectors, milkmen, and janitors have seen them.
As to those of you who think that sex is just an all-around bad influence on people, let me state another interesting fact. Denmark, over the last seven years, has legalized pornography. Denmark has also, over the last seven years, experienced a substantial drop in sexual crimes.
This report, by the way, was also thrown out by President Nixon and the U. S. Senate.
It is my opinion that the people of this country have been living with a lie for too long.
Sex is not a crime.
Plan
editor and the managing editor were not locked in physical combat by the end of the layout. Eventually, it was decided - why torture ourselves? - and the decision to ask for a permanent exchange of offices was made.
At the aforementioned ICC meeting, the proposal was made public, and, after much rhetoric by our editor, who really wanted to take his shoes off, the vote was taken and the exchange was approved.
That evening, in the fine tradition of the Keystone Kops, your writer and his editor did their best to exchange the furniture of the two offices-and have subsequently decided to go into the moving business.
In my personal opinion, it’s really great that the clubs of ICC were willing to give up their trailer in exchange for our old office, and I feel it shows that people do care about the future of the Crier-shoeless editor and all.
Action For Nurses
The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare has announced it is releasing $21.7 million in capitation grant funds to 948 programs of nursing in hospitals, colleges, and universities throughout the United States.
Release of the funds is the result of a successful law suit brought by the National League for Nursing against Roy Ash, Director of the Office of Managementand Budget and Caspar Weinberger, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare.
The NLN law suit, one of the first impoundment suits filed against the Administration, was initiated last June. At issue were 1973 nursing capitation grant funds appropriated by Congress. Of the $38,500,000 nursing capitation grant funds appropriated by Congress for fiscal year 1973, only $16,800,000 had been obligated by the Secretary to schools of nursing. The Administration had impounded $21.7 million.
The NLN complaint alleged that “The acts of the Secretary and the Director are illegal. The reduction of the amounts obligated for such annual capitation grants by the Secretary and the failure to obligate all funds appropriated for such grant program violates the intent of Congress in passing the Act and in appropriating funds for its implementation, and is therefore unlawful as an abuse of his discretion and as a violation of his statutory duty to plaintiff and to the schools of nursing.
Although NLN filed suit on behalf of all 948 nursing programs, District Court Judge Thomas A. Flannery signed a final order on November 19 in favor of 793 NLN members. His final order stated
that the 1973 funds were to be expended “to those qualified schools of nursing which are members of Plaintiff such schools’ portion of the full amounts of fiscal year 1973 funds appropriated by Congress for capitation grants. . .” The Justice Department was given 60 days to file a notice for appeal and that time period has since expired.
When NLN initially filed suit on behalf of all the nursing programs, the first restraining order granted last June in effect fr—c the total amount of $21.7 million and prevented the monies from reverting to the U.S. Treasury Funds at the end of the fiscal year 1973.
Thus, monies due all 948 programs of nursing were safeguarded and it is those funds which HEW is now releasing to NLN members as well as those programs which are not members of the organization.
The suit brought by NLN is unprecedented in nursing circles. In support of its initial action, NLN noted: “The Congress has specifically found that there is a critical shortage of registered nurses in all regions of the United States, which has been the cause of physical neglect of patients in many institutions.”
The National League for Nursing is composed of registered and licensed practical nurses, other professionals working in the health field, concerned citizens, and a-gency members such as hospitals, schools of nursing and nursing service agencies. These members work together to help meet community nursing needs and assure quality nursing education.
Peace is an Exclusive Thing
by Lynn Newland United Press International Signs scattered throughout the sprawling Cambodian capital city proclaim in English and Khmer that rebel forces should “go home” and declare, “we want peace.”
But the communists have not gone away, and peace is more distant now than it was when the first shots of the Cambodian war were fired nearly four years ago.
In fact, the current military offensive launched by insurgent forces may pose the most serious threat ever faced by Cambodian President Lon Nol’s government.
One western diplomat says that in the current offensive, “the Khmer Rouge (Cambodian communists) have only total military victory in mind . . . and they have an effective, organized army to carry out their aims.”
Thus far, the Cambodian army, navy and airforce, with a combined total of two hundred and forty thousand men, have withstood the initial test of the insurgent offensive . . . but not without some losses . . . and only over a short period of time.
The dry season in Cambodia
continues until August, and as the diplomat remarked, “the frightening thing about this offensive is that the Khmer Rouge have made so many advances so quickly and so early.”
Captured documents and the testimony of Khmer Rouge prisoners of war have supported the seriousness and intensity of the current offensive.
The military goal is two-fold: the capture of the capital of Phnom Penh and the capitulation of Lon Nol’s government.
In past offensives, insurgent forces have tried to strangle the capital by cutting the five major road arteries that link Phnom Phenh with the countryside and by stopping ship convoys on the Mekong River bringing in supplies from other nations.
This never really worked, so they’ve given up in that and are now trying more direct assaults on the capital.
The strategy change has proved successful, as insurgent forces are closer to Phnom Penh today than at any time in the past. The circle around the capital becomes more and more constricted.
ICC Relinquishes Trailer Four
Inter-Club Council no langer holds its meetings in trailer four following action taken at its first meeting of this semester. The meeting was held last Tuesday in the small lounge.
The council made up of representatives from all the clubs on campus, gave the Crier its trailer in response to a request made by the newspaper.
In the request, the Crier said that it had been using the trailer during the mini-mester due to the heating cutback ordered by President Frederick in the Commons. The newspaper found that the trailer worked well as an office and for this reason asked ICC for the trailer.
The Crier cleaned out its old office in room 107 in the Commons
and this is now called the ICC Club Meeting Room. This room may be reserved for club meetings and functions only.
Other action taken by ICC included regrouping the movie sub-committee which will choose movies to be shown on the weeks when Arts and Convocations are not running shows. Ray Kieffer, acting president, appointed a committee to review the constitution.
Kieffer also announced that due to resignations from Bernie Guirey, president, and Mary Ann Covey, secretary, new elections will be held. The delegates were instructed to come back to this Tuesday’s meeting with nominations. Elections will be held a week later.
Students to Benefit from Federal Grants
The long awaited $33 billion Labor-HEW appropriations bill for the FY-74 was signed by President Nixon shortly before Christmas. After arduous battles in Congress over many portions of the bill, it emerged an acceptable compromise in most areas relating to higher education.
The administrationalsoan-nounced the release of over $1 billion in federal funds for education and health programs which had been impounded during FY-1973.
Clair J. Glassner, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, recently held a Faculty Workshop. Teachers and administrators learned about the techniques of applying for federal and foundation grants.
Guest specialists at the session were Laurence Coray, Coordinator of Federal Programs for the State Education Department, and Albert Teich, Coordinator of Research, at the State University of Binghamton.
According to Robert A. Chapman, Dean of Faculty, Coming Community College has applied for some $500,000 in federal grants. Out of this amount, Dean Chapman is hopeful that $150,000 - $200,000 will be granted for the enhancement of our programs and facilities here on campus. Dean Chapman added that the college might have to match some of the approved funds.
How will students benefit from these federal grants? Applications
are now being considered through the Higher Education Act for a closed circuit TV system, computer terminals, new medical lab technology equipment, sound proof modules for the music department, and new electronic calculators.
A grant for improvement of the nursing program has also been applied for. In hopes of developing an automotive technology program, money has been requested through the New York State Vocational Education Act.
All this would make our learning experience here at Corning Community College a more meaningful and beneficial one. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that these grants are approved!
Cornell Questionnaire
Where do we go from here? A research team from Cornell University would like to find out.
Using a thirty minute questionnaire prepared at Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the researchers will be testing their theories concerning the occupational goals of college students and the factors influencing these goals.
A preliminary study was conducted at C.C.C. last spring, and the researchers have been granted additional funds to continue their studies on an expanded basis.
Their aim is to discover whether a definite pattern exists between the career choices made by students at two-year colleges and those at four-year colleges. If
Jocks Gather
Friday, February 1, saw the first staff meeting for the second semester of WCEB.
Discussed at the meeting was the current status of the station. General Manager Dave Game, announced that Larry Taylor, Chief Engineer forWENY-AM -FM-TV would be conducting program tests beginning this weekend. The projected air date is 20 days from the completion of these tests.
Also announced at the meeting was the student radio workshop to be held at Loyola University, Chicago, on February 15, 16, and 17. It was proposed that the executive board attend, and, upon approval, decided to petition student government for the funds.
Loren Morse was elected Tresurer, to serve out the term of Michael Drake, who is not returning to Coming this semester. Morse was nominated by the executive board and ran against Bruce Schafer.
Attending the first meeting were five new members, which added to the 17 returning from last semester brings our active total to 22 persons. We can always use new people, though, and our regular meeting times will continue to be Monday at 1:00, in our studios in Trailer 2.
a pattern does exist they will attempt to find out if it is related to the college situation or stems solely from individual characteristics.
The research team is also interested in variations of eventual goals between male and female students, and how traditional “sex roles” affect these goals. What, for example, might influence a woman student to choose electrical engineering as a career objective instead of nursing, secretarial studies, or another traditionally “female” occupation?
The questionnaires will be given to selected faculty members for distribution to their classes during February or March. More than four hundred students are expected to participate, providing a good cross-section of the student population.
Results of the survey will be published in a later issue of the Crier.
Giuffrida Receives SUNY Grant
Dr. Robert Giuffrida, Professor of Foreign Languages, has received a $1200 grant from the Research Foundation of the State University of New York, a special organization designed to aid faculty members in the pursuit of research projects. He is the first faculty member from C.C.C. to be awarded such a grant.
For his project, Dr. Giuffrida intends to collect glosses of eleventh-century Psalms, which have been translated from Latin into German for the purpose of instructing monks of the time. The interrelationship of the two languages has created a bilingual dictionary.
Beginning in June, Dr. Giuffrida will be making frequent visits to libraries where he can obtain material for his project. He will be working on it at his home in Corning.
Math Made Easy
A few years ago, American educators and parents were addressing themselves to the question of why a composite youngster named “Johnny” couldn’t read.
Now it’s “Why Johnny can’t add” and an effort is being mounted to solve the problem. Science research associates of Chicago has developed a new Mathematics learning system to help bring about a solution.
S-R-A has published a textbook series that establishes new priorities for Mathematics instruction for children from Kindergarten through eighth grade. Simply put, the new system retains the basics of addition, subtraction, division, fractions, and so on but teaches those fundamentals in a much more relaxed, “humanized” manner.
The textbooks contain many color photographs which illustrate such fundamentals as “one more than 10 is 11” in terms and pic-
tures easily understood by young pupils. The language is simply, couched in terminology familiar to young minds . . . tuned to the way children talk.
S-R-A President Richard Giesen says “Our new system was designed with the conviction that the study of Mathematics is relevant, vital, useful and interesting ... It doesn’t have to be formal and abstract. Everyone should relax and enjoy it.”
Giesen says the new system comes at a time when achievement tests indicate many American children are having trouble understanding and using Math concepts. The new system was developed with an aim of reversing the trends of today in which some children fail to master basic skills . . . some teachers have trouble implementing new programs . . . and parents complain they no longer “understand their children’s homework.”
Racism - CCC Priority
Blackness -
Whiteness
Workshop
Black awareness and a white racism workshop are planned for the weekend of February 15, 16, and 17 at Keuka College. Student Government will pick up the cost out of its Anti-Racism budget. This is a budget sponsored from your activities fee.
Fred Jefferson, from the University of Rochester, and Wilma Beaman, of C.C.C., will facilitate the Third World work sessions. The white on white groups will be lead by Jim Elder and Jobe Moore from the University of Massachusetts. These are the same facilitators that did the Cornell workshop a couple of weeks ago.
For more detailed information and to register, stop by the activities office in the Commons, or call 962-9246. See Linda Spac-cio.
Black or white - don’t miss it!
In spring of 1973 C.C.C. had adopted an Anti-Racism Program as one of its major priorities. The intent of that priority is to eliminate racism both in and out of the classroom as it interferes with individual learning, is a social problem, and is immoral and illegal.
As asn action step, student government sponsored several student leaders to attend a racism workshop at Cornell University during the weekend of January 25-27. Lisa Haines, Ray Kiefer, Allison Mayer, Margaret Walls, and Edna Williams were among those who attended.
Comments are as follows:
Ray Kiefer - “It was the biggest learning experience I have had in a long time. Iam convinced racism is a white problem, not a black problem . . . more importantly, it is my problem.”
Lisa Haines - “I thoroughly enjoyed the racism workshop at Cornell. I felt that it was a worthwhile experience. It was a white on white workshop dealing with
institutional racism. I found the idea that I am a white racist rather hard to accept.”
Allison Mayer - “The blackness - whiteness workshop for me was a weekend -long learning experience. It was not only learning about my racism, but many other things about myself... For me it was a beautiful weekend.”
Roses . . .
Exhaust
(UPI) -- Smelling like a rose could be a bad thing at Whidbey Island Naval Air Station in Washington State. The navy is mixing a chemical into gasoline used by government vehicles to discourage theft of the suddenly precious fuel. The additive makes the fuel smell like flowers when it burns. The navy says anyone stationed or working at the base who drives a private car had better not have exhaust that smells like a floral bouquet.

I don't know how many bars there are in the Elmira-Corning area, but I do know that if, for this survey of bars, I had attempted to visit each one,
I likely could have gone day in, day out until my liver was completely pickled and still managed to miss several establishments. Consequently, I restricted my journeys to those bars about which I had heard something said. The following then is a list of such bars and their offerings:
Lando's in Corning has some of the loudest music I heard anywhere. Anyone who has not dropped in since the place reopened really should, if only to see how much different it is from the old Lando's. In the new, there is a sunken dance floor and carpeted bleacher-type seats around the sides. And the place is jammed on most weekends. Tuesdays are "oldies” days and on Wednesdays there is, for a cover charge, an "all the beer you can drink" night. Cover charge is $2.50 for gents and$1 for the ladies.
Stepping down the scale of sound, is Wetgoods where, on a given night, you can generally find some folk singer holding court. Wetgoods is the only bar in Corning which serves hard cider.
Now if your thing is watching dancing girls, Corning offers two such places, McHale's, and Carmen's. Of course, in these two places the drinks will cost you more than at Wetgoods. But then, those girls dance for a I iving.
I must confess that I neglected Faulisi's through oversight. This bar does not stand with most of the rest on the "Market Street Run," instead being located on Dennison Parkway. I do know that they used to have a loud stereo set-up and a lighted dance floor similar to that at the Foundry in Elmira. Hopefully, it is still the same.
And on that clever lead in, I may as well run through a few of the bars in Elmira, leading off with the Foundry. As I said, the Foundry has stereotype (not stereotyped) music and the multi-colored lighted dance floor plus a strobe to bend your mind. There is a cover charge, 50<:, some nights and again

We have all at one time or another faced the dilema of trying to pass an evening in an interesting manner in the megolopolis of Corning. In this article I will try to shed some light on finding “the action.”
The prevailing opinion is that the only thing to do in Corning is to go to your favorite bar and get “Smashed.” This is definitely not true. There are many novel and exciting things to do in Corning.
We are lucky to have in Corning one of the finest theaters in the state. For a nominal fee you get to see Bertha play train with her boxcar. Although you may not have a ball going to the theater at least you will get to see one.
If this doesn’t sound “satisfying,” you can always go one step further and watch flesh bounce at one of the high class nightclubs. To do this
the drinks will cost more, but the Foundry does draw crowds, at many times rivaling the size of the crowds at Sam's.
Sam's is jammed on Friday and Saturday nights. There's no other way to describe it. Yet, the offerings are "only” a juke box, a smallish dance floor, and 25£ drafts, (draughts?) Anyway, if the crowd scene is your thing, try Sam's on the weekend. You'll find single girls and single guys playing the single girls' single guys' game. Hit the place often enough and you'll wind up in a group. It passes the time.
If, instead of turning left to go to Sam's, you turn right off College Avenue, you eventually run across a place called Michael's. If my memory serves me correctly, the chief source of entertainment is a juke box. Michael's is big among the Elmira Colie-gains, and is a decent place to get together with friends. Be forewarned though, I was carded there shortly after I turned 22.
I mention the Pourhouse in this collection primarily because a group featuring one Joe Dowen should be playing a return engagement there in the near future. If his group does show, by all means catch the performance. Dowen's group has drummer, bass guitar, lead guitar, trumpet, and sax and does one of the best renditions of late 50's and early 60's style music I've ever seen. But be prepared to pay a cover charge and shell out a bit more for drinks. Remember, the only difference between "Pour" and "poor" is a changed letter.
Lest I forget, Elmira also has the Bull and Heif-fer, a huge barn of a place where you can view and hear some live groups. It is one of the very few such places in the area offering live music. Here again, you'll find a fairly good crowd. At least I did.
So, there you have it, the dancing girls, the music, the crowds, and most of the action that can be found in our area. Myself, I'll continue to patronize the Village Inn in South Corning where I can drink my beer at 25£ a throw, play pool, and visit with some good friends without shouting myself hoarse.
you will probably want to rent a tuxedo otherwise you will feel out of place.
After you’ve blown your mind for the evening you can come down by relaxing and enjoying the cuisine at one of the finer Italian pizza joints. If you still have not had enough, you can proceed to one of the local banks where you will find a time-temperature display. If you are patient perhaps you will get to see the beginning of a new day. This signifies the closing to Corning. Police begin to appear from everywhere, they even seem to come out of the servers, where they hibernate during the day. It is at this time that you must scurry home for fear of being busted for possession of tobacco, “the killer weed.”

The Mad Hatters
Police in New York City believe they have finally caught the hat bandits.
Four persons were picked up in Brooklyn last night in connection with the thefts of expensive, wide-brimmed fur hats worn by Hassidic Jews. One of the defendants was 18, two others 19, and the fourth was 26.
Included in the thefts was a $1200 mink hat ... an $1100 sable fur piece . . . and two $40 beaver hats.
Police said in all of the incidents
a car would pull up to where the victims were walking, a man would jump out, grab a hat, jump back in the car and drive off.
Officers were able to make the arrests when they spotted a car last night matching the description of the auto involved in one of the thefts and bearing the same license plate number as the car in another incident.
The $1200 mink hat was taken from a rabbi. None of the hats have been recovered.
UPI - The exorcism phenomen continues to attract unprecedented attention.
In Hollywood, the movie “The Exorcist,” which seems to have started the latest flurry of demondiscussion, won four golden globe awards from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association ... including being named the best movie of 1973.
But in Rock Island, Illinois, a band of 100 young people from the Bethel Assembly of God Church, built a bonfire of paperback books on the occult and a ouija (wee’-juh) board to protest “the rising cult of satanism.”
In New York, Archbishop of Canterbury Michael Ramsey told
reporters that some cases of demonic possession and exorcism do exist but the majority are just “fiddlesticks.” Ramsey, the spiritual leader of 65-million Anglicans said: “If you produced them (possessed persons) here in a queue to look at, I would have to say a few were genuine and the majority, fiddlesticks.” He added he thought the act of exorcising demons had been turned into “some sort of stunt” by film makers.

The Arnot Art Museum is enlarging the scope of its antique quilt exhibition. Between February 1 through the 21st, along with the two galleries of antique quilts from the Smithsonian collection, there will be an exhibit of antique quilts loaned by local residents. Many of these examples of pieced quilts show designs not already shown in those on display.
Continuing the theme of stitch-ery, will be an unusual exhibit of needlework designs created by Delores Andrews for Gallery IV. Friday, February 1 at 8:00 p.m. there will be a preview and reception for both exhibitions. Mrs. Andrews’ exhibit will feature both traditional and contemporary stitchery in her style, which applies the techniques of oil painting to stitchery design. Several large, one-of-a-kind display pieces will be shown as well as models of the many kits that are marketed under the Delores Andrews name in department stores and needlecraft shops across the country.
Mrs. Andrews is a native of Corning, and a graduate of Corning Free Academy. She received her B.F.A. Degree from Syracuse University and has studied at the Maryland Institute of Art while a resident in that area for the past 16 years. During the winter months, she taught and demon-
strated both crewel embroidery and drawing in the Baltimore area.
Although stitchery is her main theme for this exhibition, Delores is also an accomplished artist with pen and ink. Her list of awards and shows include many one-woman shows. Mrs. Andrews’ exhibit will remain on exhibition until February 14. Embroidery kits of Delores Andrews work may be purchased at the “Behind the Green Door” pit shop at the museum.	*
Modern art lovers will enjoy an exhibit of the two Andy Worhol lithographs and a stainless steel sculpture by Terry Moorehouse that the Arnot Museum is putting on display for the next few months. The Warhols were purchased from Lorna E. Shanks formerly of the Corning Glass Works. This acquisition was made possible by a grant from the National Endowment For The Arts. The one lithograph . . . Elizabeth Taylor . . . is 22” by 22” and is in bright red, blue, black and flesh tones. The silk screen 1 . . Marilyn . . . is a photo screen of Marilyn Monroe. It also shows the hot colors that Warhol likes to use. Both prints are signed by Warhol.
The stainless steel sculpture by Terry Moorehouse is over six feet tall and is composed of three swirling armitures. The artist will leave it on display until spring.
The Arts Exorcism
Skiing Through The Crisis
(UPI) - To attract customers despite the energy crisis, the people who run the state’s ski resorts have dabbled in the transportation . . . hotel . . . and even the gasoline business.
Unfortunately, however, the one thing they have been unable to affect -- the weather--has been the problem. Balmy temperatures have put business on a level with last winter’s . . . one of the worst in the memory of many ski proprietors.
The energy crisis has not been the main problem, according to a random survey of the people who run ski resorts. Many have set up shuttle buses to nearby metropolitan areas and they say they can cope with the gasoline shortage.
The Adirondack Region, which depends heavily on the winter tourist trade, has devised a number of schemes . . . including free Sunday night hotel accommodations and guarantees of gasoline to induce skiers to the slopes.
Wendell Clayton is General Manager of Bristol Mountain, about 35 miles from Rochester.
He said the problem is not gasoline. “People are a bit reluctant to travel on Sunday.” He said that where Sundays used to be their busiest day, the action is now beginning to equalize on both Saturday and Sunday.
He added that “Even with the Sunday gasoline problem, people
It’s Run On Aftershave
UPI -- A famods British cartoonist claims to have beaten both the gasoline shortage and thepollu-tion problem with his latest zany invention.
Rowland Emett, who used to draw for punch, calls it his “vintage car of the future” ... a way-out rig that operates on boiled aftershave lotion which, of course, is in plentiful supply. And Emett says that kind of fuel produces exhaust emissions that are positively enjoyable to birds, bees and butterflies. '
Emett’s vehicle is on display this week at Hawthorn Center, the shopping complex of New Century Town, a planned community built north of Chicago. And, yes, it is attracting a lot of attention and wisecracks.
The “vintage care of the future” has a see-through chassis, a “pus-siefoot” braking system, a selfplaying harp and a handy-dandy sausage barbecue.
Emett’s outlandish vehicle is 17 feet long and weighs more than two-thousand pounds. It is built of steel combined with antique reproductions. It follows the inventor’s principle of creating something delightful to look at and then finding it something to do.
Emett also has invented an airplane which can’t fly and a computer which can’t compute. Although the machines he devises are of no practical use, they are worth a lot of laughs.
As far as the energy crisis is concerned, the vintage car of the future is no problem. And the driver doesn’t have to worry about rush hour traffic. The car operates in place.
still appear willing to drive if there is good skiing available.” . . . “But with this weather, people just don’t think of skiing.”
He said the warm January thaw the ‘skiers’ minds turn off.”
Nelson Sears is Superintendent at Belleayre Mountain, in the heart of the Catskills.
He said the snowfall has been only about 50 percent of last year, adding “That’s the problem, not energy.”
Several hotels around Belleayre have arrangements with the ski centers for package accommodation deals.
Still, the clearest example of community cooperation to generate business is in Essex County, about 300 miles north of New York City.
The rural area has mobilized in the face of potential economic turmoil . . . because it’s the home of a large number of winter resorts who depend almost completely on tourism.
County Publicity Director Luke Patnode said their area has “been lucky with the snow.” The temperatures up north have been colder, and more snow has fallen.
Most places in Essex County are guaranteeing gas for those who come up to ski. Patnode says there is actually a sort of excess of gasoline in the area since most of the previous sales went to tourists.
He said, “Our biggest problem with gas is people finding enough to get there. Once they arrive there is no problem getting enough to get home.”
The county has begun a system of rotating and publicizing which service stations will remain open on Sundays.
In addition, local motels are continuing to offer free Sunday night lodging to those patrons who have stayed Friday and Saturday and don’t wish to drive on Sunday.
Women Governors
UPI -- Connecticut’s female secretary of state -- Gloria Schaffer -- says a woman’s chances of being elected governor are better than ever. But she says a female candidate shouldn’t expect too much support from women voters.
Cookies or Gas
UPI -- A Miami area Girl Scout Troop is getting a boost from the energy crisis at a gas station which has invoked a rule: No cookies, no fillup.
Service station operator Lou Doucette let his daughter and other members of her Girl Scout Group sell cookies to motorists waiting in line at his station . . . and then gave sales a little extra boost.
One motorist declined when an attendant asked him if he wanted to buy cookies. The attendant then poked his head in the car and snapped: “Well, how’s your gas situation?”
He explained that without a purchase of cookies, there would be an eight-gallon limit on gas sales.
Replied the customer . . . “You know what you’re doing? You’re blackmailing me.”
But then he smiled, bought the cookies, and got his full tank of gasoline.
Doucette says he doesn’t think anything is wrong with the idea and he plans to continue the practice Monday and Tuesday.
The way he puts it ... “I feel in my mind I wasn’t doing anything illegal. This was my way of saying, ‘C’mon kids, let’s see if we can raise some money.”
She says a 1972 survey indicated that 70 percent of the men polled favored more opportunities for women but only 59 percent of the women polled felt the same way.
Mrs. Schaffer says large donations might not be forthcoming for women candidates, although women hold the purse strings of the nation . . . “Hold title to the majority of the nation’s total securities, savings and investments.”
Cornell Energy Plan
Cornell University says it has cut its energy consumption by 12 percent in recent months . . . but, because of higher fuel prices, it is still spending more money than last year.
Robert Clawson, chairman of the University’s Energy Conservation Task Force said yesterday the 12 percent reduction in energy use was achieved during the first six months of the current academic

Voting Women
A state superior court judge in Hartford, Connecticut, has ruled that married women can register to vote under their maiden names.
In their suit, two new London, Connecticut, women said they had never used their husbands’ last names, nor had any plan to use them in their personal or professional lives.
They said requiring them to use their husbands’ names is a violation of their constitutional rights . . . and the judge, in ruling in their favor, said: “We live in the age of the women’s rights movement . . . not in an age where a married woman could not make contracts, hold property, or sue except through her husband.”
First Women in Men’s Prison
UPI -- Letrish Dunbar would like to be a model. Instead, the 26-year-old former social worker and graduate of Western Michigan University is the first woman counselor in a Michigan men’s prison.
A native of Chicago, she was hired by the State Corrections Department last fall to lend an ear to troubles at the Michigan Training Unit ... A medium security institution for felons under 24.
She has had no threats or felt frightened. The students see her
as an authority figure just like the men counselors and officers and don’t ever try “anything.”
“Oh, I get cat calls,” she says, “And somebody will occasionally whistle or holler ‘Hey Mama,” but when I turn around, you don’t know where it came from.”
Miss Dunbar is responsible for writing parole eligibility reports on the 120 men in her housing unit. She occasionally heads group counseling sessions, disciplinary courts and helps in personal and career counseling.

Clawson predicted fuel savings could dip to 18 percent below last year’s level by the end of this academic year.
But since fuel prices have skyrocketed 300 percent in some instances over last year, Cornell is still spending more than last year.

Last Weeks News In Review ACCOUNTING - The Career
President Nixon presented a hard-hitting state of the union address to a joint session of congress and a broadcast audience of millions of Americans.
After declaring “One year of Watergate is enough” and vowing to remain in office, he challenged congress to turn its attention instead to solving inflation and the energy crisis.
Nixon pledged to co-operate with the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment inquiry in his 45-minute speech. But he indicated he may refuse to turn over documents and tapes pertaining to Watergate on grounds of executive privilege.
The only surprise in the address was an announcement that friendly Arab leaders had agreed to hold a meeting soon to discuss lifting the embargo against oil shipments to the United States.
The White House conceded after the speech, though, that the meeting is one which had been arranged earlier.
Referring to a possible lifting of the embargo, Nixon said that while resumption of the Middle East Oil shipments might ease the crisis, it would not solve the long-range shortages.
Then he pressed congress for swift emergency legislation to cope with the situation and pave the way to U-S self-sufficiency in energy supplies.
In a separate document, Nixon outlined 10 major legislative goals for this year and disclosed that the federal budget for fiscal 1975 would total a record 304.4 billion dollars.
However, he said he would ask for no new tax increases to make up an expected 9.4 billion dollar deficit for the year starting July 1st.
Ninety-three persons, including 37 Americans, died when a Pan American World Airways boeing 707 jet headings for the Pago Pago Airport, slammed into a low hill and burst into flames.
There are eight survivors of the 101 passengers and crew aboard the plane. Four of them, mostly Americans, are in serious condition in the American Samoa Hospital.
In San Francisco, a group of killers went on a two-hour shooting spree, leaving four persons dead and another wounded. Police believe at least two killers were involved. The slayings, added to other similar random street kill-
ings in three months, brings the total to 10 dead.
In Los Angeles, superior court judge Gordon Ringer is preparing a subpoena for President Nixon to testify in the trial of a former aide, John Fhrlichman. It is the first state court subpoena ever drawn up for a President.
The White House says Nixon will “respectfully decline to appear on constitutional grounds,” the separation of the executive and judicial powers. Attorney General William Saxbe says he will fight the subpeona.
In Baltimore, an engineer, testified in the corruption trial of N. Dale Anderson, former Vice President Spiro Agnew’s successor as Baltimore County Executive. He said he had given Agnew 40-thousand dollars in kickbacks.
One American and five South Vietnamese, taken prisoner when China captured the Paracel Islands, were released on Thursday.
Gerald Emil Kosh, the American, was flown to Clark Air Base in the Philippines. He was found to be in good condition. The Vietnamese freed with him were flown to Saigon and given a lavish heroes’ welcome.
God & Man The Story Of Paul
by Louis Cassels UPI Senior Editor
(This is one of the last religion features written by Cassels before his death Wednesday, January 23)
The Christian Church throughout the world is celebrating this week one of the most important events of its history.
It occurred in the year 33 A.D. A zealous young Pharisee named Saul was riding along a dusty highway between Jerusalem and Damascus. He was going to Damascus with warrants to arrest and imprison members of a new Jewish sect called Christians.
Saul regarded Christians as blasphemous heretics, for they claimed the long-awaited Messiah had already appeared in the person of Jesus Christ. Saul felt certain Jesus could not have been the Messiah.
Jesus had been ignominously put to death by crucifixion, and Saul could not believe God would let that happen to the real Messiah.
As Saul approached Damascus, according to his own subsequent account, “A light from the sky suddenly flashed all around him.” He was so afraid that he fell to the ground.
Then he heard a voice saying, “Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?”
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked.
“I am Jesus, whom you persecute.”
Never has a single event more thoroughly transformed a man. From a persecutor of Christians, Saul became the greatest of all
Christian missionaries.
To symbolize his new commitment as a faithful and utterly fearless servant of the Christ in whom he had hitherto disbelieved, he changed his name to Paul.
Once he had overcome the suspicions of the original Christian apostles . . . who were understandably wary of the conversion of their former enemy . . . Paul made three long , hazardous missionary journeys through the Roman Empire.
He concentrate especially on the countries of Asia Minor on the eastern end of the Mediterranean, planting Christian churches wherever he went.
When problems or dissentions arose in one of his young churches and he was unable to go in person to resolve them, Paul wrote letters to them. Cherished and carefully preserved by the early Church, these epistles today form more than half the text of the New Testament.
Although we know much more about Saul’s beliefs than his appearance and personality, available evidence and his own writings indicate he was a short, bald-headed, bowlegged man . . . sensitive, proud and hot-tempered . . . afraid of women and anxious to keep them “in their place in the Church . . . almost totally devoid of a sense of humor.
He suffered from a chronic disease, probably epilepsy.
No one demonstrated better than Paul the agony of the human condition which he once bewailed

by saying: “The good I would do, I cannot do . . . The evil I would not do, I do.”
Paul was capable of great love, magnanimity and forgiveness. But he could also lash out at critics with sarcasm.
On balance, Paul is not the warm personality that Jesus was. What stands out most vividly about Paul is his absolutely unswerving devotion to his late-discovered Lord and his unshakeable conviction that only through Christ could weak and sinful men like himself attain enough grace to be reasonably decent human beings.
A brilliant man by any standard, Paul interpreted the Christian gospel in its infancy with such persuasive lucidity that his imprint has forever remained on Christian teaching.
As Dean Alexander C. Purdy of Hartford Theological Seminary once said: “Paul must be reckoned as second only to his master, Jesus Christ, as a creative personality in Christianity.”

Of the Week
by Ronnie B. Lipp
Money runs our society. Accounting is a means of expressing in clear, understandable financial terms, the results of complex operations of business, government, and other institutions. If you are conscious of detail, have the ability to express yourself in writing in an orderly fashion, like to see results that balance, then you might want to consider an accounting-related occupation.
Ray Harter, the Controller at C.C.C., keeps the finances of the College going on a day-to-day basis. He must keep track of all money coming in and out. He writes lots of reports to Federal and State agencies. The payroll of the College is one of his responsibilities. Also, Mr. Harter has the personnel function
of supervising eleven people. A bachelor’s degree in accounting with economic and financial electives is the minimum educational requirement for this type of job.
However, there are other opportunities available for the individual who has less education. Private industrial firms hire individuals with a two-year college accounting degree (such as the one offered at C.C.C.). Industrial accounting is needed in firms regardless of upturns or downturns in the economy. A full range of fringe benefits is part of the package in an industrial accounting-related job.
Ray Harter or Ronnie Lipp would be happy to talk with interested students about accounting careers.
Urban Renewal
Anyone driving up Denison Parkway in Corning anytime in the past few months has probably noticed a couple of concrete and steel monsters growing out of the ground. This concrete lump will eventually be the Corning Hilton Inn, one of several buildings presently being constructed in the downtown No. 1 urban renewal building. The 130-room hotel, complete with indoor swimming pool, is expected to be completed in May, according to George Douglas of the Corning Hotel Corporation.
Also under construction are a new city hall and new Corning Library. Both are expected to be completed in 1975, and both companies are presently accepting bids for furnishings. The city hall will be located on East Market Street between Chemung and Pearl Streets; the library will be on the opposite side of Market Street.
Within the year Corning should also see the completion of a new local 1000 Union Hall.
Eventually, when all work is completed, there will be a shop-
ping mall in the block between Wall and Chemung Streets. Also, a skating rink is to be constructed between Chemung and Pearl. Construction of the skating rink is to begin this year.
Consumer Report
(UPI) - Both onions and potatoes continue as the hot price items for fresh vegetables. Spanish and cooking onions were again sharply higher during the past week. The price trend was also higher for potatoes.
This situation will be reflected at local retail produce counters. On the brighter side of the price ledger, iceberg lettuce is expected to be a repeater on the best buy list. Pascal celery, radishes, cabbage, small peppers and rutabagas are also expected to be a reasonable purchase.
In the fruit section, there has been little change since last week. Bananas and small sizes of citrus fruits repeat as the best buys.
Controlled atmosphere apples are now in more ample supply.

Crier: Good morning, Mr. Tree.
Tree: Uh, hello.
Crier: I’m Bill Gray from the Crier, and I’ve been, uh, “pining” to ask you a few questions. “Wood” that be “Oak” kay with you?
Tree: Oh no, not another one.
Crier: Well, OK then, here we go. First of all, what is your name?
Tree: My real name is Hey wood, but my friends call me Woody.
Crier: That figures. Would you tell us a little about your childhood?
Tree: Well, let’s see. I was bom on the Evergreen Valley Tree Farm in Sawdusky, Pennsylvania. My father was an evergreen named Herb. His full name was Herb A. Ciousdicot. My mother was a pine tree. Her first name was Fern. My childhood was mostly uneventful. Mostof the time I just stood around.
Crier: Didn’t you ever get bored?
Tree: Only once, by a nearsighted farmer out trying to collect maple syrup.
Crier: So, tell us, Woody, how do you like beinga ‘College-tree?’
Tree: Well, for awhile I thought I was going to be lonesome, but I
guess with saps like you around, I’ll feel right at home.
Crier: Oh. Do I take that to me that you didn’t want to come here?
Tree: No, I didn’t want to come here. I was betrayed, sold down the river. A tree who I considered my best friend sold me to the axes. I swear, that tree would do anything
for money.
Crier: Really, what sort of tree was he?
Tree: A Scotch Pine.
Crier: Well, look on the bright side. I understand that every Christmas they’re going to decorate you.
Tree: They’d better not try it!
Crier: Why, wouldn’t you like to be decorated with lights and Christmas balls and popcorn and candy canes and paper decorations and icicles and angels?
Tree: Would you?
Crier: Well, uh, I think that’s about all the questions for today. I hate to have to “leaf’ you alone, but it’s time for me to “branch” out into another story. I just want you to know that we’reall “rooting” for you. Is there anything we can do to make you more comfortable here at C.C.C.?
Tree: Yes, you can get rid of that big red dog that’s always hanging around here.
Crier: Don’t worry, his “bark” is worse than his bite.
Tree: Yea, well it’s not his bite that I’m worried about.
On the Lighter Side
A student, Dave Game, was bare-assed in the face of humanity last week due to a little problem with a board in the Commons.
It seems that Dave was working
in the Large Lounge and accidentally backed into a wooden bar across one of the windows. This caused a three-inch piece of wood to penetrate his posterior.
Try as he might, Dave could not remove the foreign object, and had to take a trip to the Coming Hospital emergency room for help. Help came in the form of minor surgery, for Dave had sunk half the sliver into the right cheek.
The nurse took him into the operating room where he was told to drop his trousers. The nurse proceeded to prepare him for surgery and in doing so had to give Dave a shave right where you’d expect in this situation. However, Dave didn’t realize what was going on until the nurse put the razor down.
Dr. Lapp performed the operation which required two shots of novacane (I guess Dave was a real hard-ass) and three stitches.
Humiliated, Dave emerged from the operation ready to meet the world clean-shaven.
VTN Begj In Commons
Students packed the Large Lounge for the initiation of video tape network programming on Thursday, January 31.
The programs, “Reffer Madness” and the “VTN Free Concert,” played back through a regular tv set by means of a videocassette machine recently purchased by Commons Committee.
“Reefer Madness” is a 1936 anti-drug film originally titled “Tell Your Children” and detailed the fall of two young students because they were “marijuana addicts.”
The “VTN Free Concert” is segments of such rock musicians as BS&T, Dr. Hook, and the Rowan Brothers packed together into an half hour of music.
The program will continue for the remainder of the semester, using programs from VTN and features recorded from the air for playback during the day.
The taping and playback will be supervised by the staff of
WCEB, and assistance is always needed.
Ed. note: The complete semster listings of VTN Programs will be printed as soon as it becomes available).
Free Want Ads
The Crier editors announced recently that want ads will be made available free to students.
This change in policy was in response to a complaint by a student who thought that the practice of charging for want ads was unfair. The rest of the policy remains intact.
Students only, will get free want ads, anyone else wishing to place an ad must pay the established rate: 50 cents for up to five lines.
Students wishing to place an ad should write the ad legibly on an index card, or something similar in size, and deposit it in the Crier mailbox outside room 107 in the Commons.

Essie’s Birds
(UPI) - Miss Essie Souders (Sow’-dehrs) is 71. Every day she feeds the birds and squirrels in the little park across the street from her Kansas City apartment. She’s been doing it for 30 years.
From her window, she watches as the bright red cardinals gather on a wall outside. She calls the birds and squirrels her “little creatures.”
But Essie is having to choose between them and the home where she has spent almost half her life. Her landlord, nearby St. Luke’s Hospital, notified her that she must get out ... by today . . . because of sanitary reasons due to the “little creatures.”
Miss Souders already has won one legal skirmish, and she says she won’t leave. She says she used to own the building in which her apartment is located and sold it to the hospital with an agreement that she could stay as long as she lives.
In the other battle, the city health authorities said the seeds and
Analysis
(Continued from Page 2) Congress already had found him innocent. He spoke of what would happen “in the final three years” of his administration.
But when he strode into the House chamber to report personally to the Joint Session, the risks for Nixon were great. Would there be empty seats--a pointed reminder that he was the first President in more than a century to be investigated for impeachment? Would the reception be icy?
Only a year ago, riding a popularity crest after a landslide election victory, Nixon had been unable to find time to deliver his State of the Union report to Congress in person ... a clerk read it.
Unfriendly gestures . . . boos on television . . . could have ruined it for Nixon.
But instead there was applause, mostly from Republicans, but sufficient to create the image of a friendly reception.
There was one moment when it seemed things might go wrong for Nixon. That was when he promised to co-operate with the House Judiciary Committee--which is investigating him for possible impeachment -- but attached a limitation. The limitation seemed to imply that he would refuse to turn White House documents over to the committee.
The irrepressible Congress-woman Bella Abzug of New York gave out a boo when she heard that. From the Democratic side, applause at the promise of cooperation subsided to be replaced by a few hisses. But the boo and the hisses didn’t make the television screens or the radioes. The moment passed.
Now starts a new moment.
The Judiciary Committee within days will move to test the President’s pledge of co-operation. And from all indications, it will ask for original White House documents .
nuts she put out for the birds and squirrels also drew mice and rats to the fashionable neighborhood of the Country Club Plaza. Essie won that one by installing enclosed feeders and water troughs.
The hospital says it has had many complaints about excessive food and grain scattered around ... that it gets sour and smells.
The hospital says people living in the apartment building and nearby buildings have been complaining loudly that it’s a bad sanitation problem which goes back three years.
But Miss Souders is adamant. “I can’t stand to think about moving,” she says . . . “Nor about not feeding my bird either.”
She says the seed and nuts she buys for the squirrels and birds costs her about 30 dollars a week but she says, “It’s sure worth it. It’s my only hobby and about the only thing I enjoy very much
any more.”
“I’m not,” she says, “going to
quit. I’ll win this . . . you’ll see.”

C.C.C. Wrestling
Aaron :
It’s Tougher This Year
Wrestling season was off to a good start with wins over Buffalo U. J.V.’s and Keystone C.C. Keystone C.C. traditionally is one of the best teams in the east. C.C.C.’s grapplers handed them a 44-6 defeat.
Since then the team has suffered losses and personnel due to various reasons. As a result of personnel losses, the team has been forced to forfeit as many as four weight classes in a match. The forfeit of four weight classes has the same effect as the team getting pinned in those four classes. In short, C.C.C. goes into a match down 24-0.
Coach Polo has figured that when looking at the individual’s wrestling, we have outscored opponents in the matches, however, team victories are very hard to come by. On January 26th, C.C.C. wrestled Orange C.C. and lost 21-18. They forfeited 18 points! Against Morrisville, C.C.C.’s grapplers lost 30-14, again forfeiting 18 points! If there were two more men to fill 126 lbs. and 114 lb. classes, Orange would have had to forfeit the points to us and we would have won.
Coach Quattrone feels “Wrestling is the most demanding sport in college athletics. Anyone who wants to wrestle must be willing to make sacrifices.
“However, there areothers that have, and we encourage support for these dedicated athletes. We feel that although we do not have much of a chance for a good dual meet record, we may have individuals who will do well in the regional tourney on February 21, and will also compile respectable individual dual meet records.”
Coach Polo says that “There are three types of people on any team, winners, shoulder shrug-gers, and losers. Winners are the ones who come through when the chips are down. Shoulder shruggers are the guys who would like to win, but won’t go out of their way to do the extras to win. Losers just want to belong. They want to be associated with winning teams, but don’t care about winning themselves.
We have lost all of our shoulder shruggers and losers because they weren’t willing to fight through the situation when the chips were down.
by Frank Cholk, Sports Editor Mr. Quattrone, one of CCC’s own business department men was a wrestler here and at the University of Buffalo. He took states twice!
Mohammad Ali defeated Joe
We have the winners left on the team, but we don’t have the. shoulder shruggers on the team to fill the vacant classes. They are the people who win some, lose some, and receive forfeits, to support the team their way.”
“In the way of winners, the team has men who weigh 148 lbs.. 153 lbs., and 156 lbs., who are willing to wrestle at 177 or 190 and they won at times. This is part of what I mean about being a winner,” says Coach Polo. “We will have the worst record of C.C.C.’s history in one year, but what we have are individual winners who will carry on the goals and objectives and philosophies of a winning team. If the wrestlers we have can do well in their individual performances in dual meets, regional , and national tourneys, then I feel we have attained what we went out to do this season.”
Coach said, “If there are people out there who are willing to give 110%, the team would support them. We aren’t interested in people who just belong.”
Coach Quattrone said, “We have high hopes for many of our men. For example, Nick Barra, on January 30th, movedfrom 167-177 and defeated Morrisville’s outstanding 177 lbs. wrestler who was previously undefeated by a score of 13-0. This was one of the most exciting matches of the season. Barra’s exceptional sense of balance, strength, and quickness make him C.C.C.’s best chance for a place in the regional and national wrestling championships at Worthington, Minnesota, on March 1 and 2.
John Mitchell got off to a slow start at 118 lbs. class, and is now wrestling at 126 lbs. class, and is showing much improvement. On the 30th of January, he soundly defeated Morrisville’s Region Three All-Star Representative by a score of 10-6. If his progress continues, he will be a strong regional contender.
Rick Phytila, with the off-mat temperament of a Hoss Cartwright, and an on-the-mat temperament of an Alaskan Grizzly Bear, is last year’s runnerup in the Region Three Heavyweight Championships. We feel that Rick has progressed since last year, and has very strong possibilities

of being Number One this year. Rick is also the only member of the team who has competed at the National Level. Coach Polo and myself feel that this experience will prove invaluable to Rick when he returns to Worthington this year, and we feel that he has a strong possibility of representing C.C.C. with a place in the Nationals.
Jim Snyder, one of the most dedicated of the wrestlers, has had his ups and downs this year. His downs have been at 142 lbs. class, and his ups have been at 134 lbs. class. Jim is not one for selfishness and sacrificed himself in wrestling at 142 for the good of the team. Jim is an extremely strong 134 lbs. wrestler, and we feel confident that he will bring us a place in the regionals at 134 lbs.
Gary Huntly, who came to us from Cortland, New York, is showing promise at 150 lbs. class, compiling a respectable record and has the potential to place in regionals. With the beginning of the second semester, we’ve picked up a couple additional wrestlers who are at this point trying to get themselve in shape. Ben Smith and John “Gomez” Pecoera, who comes to us from Long Island. The potential of these wrestlers cannot be accessed at this time, but they are adding to the rosters, and eliminating some of the forfeits.”
Not all the winners are still with the team. Dave Weaver, who wrestled in the 158 lbs. class, went on to school in Boston. Mr. Quattrone says, “We feel that this was a great loss as David was having an exceptional season. We thought that he had real strong possibilities. We feel David was a great wrestler, and a great man. We would certainly not want his name associated with “Quitter.”
Mr. Quattrone said, “In conclusion , I would like to say that we have the utmost respect for the athletes who have the courage to endure the wrestling season. As one of my coaches once said, ‘After you’ve wrestled, everything else in life seems easy.’” He also said, “Sailors who leave a sinking ship in a battle are not called cowards, but those who stay and fight to the end are held in esteem.”

UPI -- Hank Aaron isn’t kidding himself.
Aaron knows that a 40-year-old man won’t find it easy getting in shape for a season baseball.
Aaron says, “Each year, it gets that much tougher. Each year, it takes a little longer to get the weight down and get the legs in shape.”
Hank will be 40 years old this Tuesday.
On February 24, he will go to West Palm Beach, Florida, to begin the rigors of Spring training for the last time. This will be Hank’s 21st, and final, major league season.
Everybody’s attention is focused on Aaron’s pursuit of Babe Ruth’s career home run record.
Hank, with 713, needs one to tie and two to top Ruth’s record. But Aaron’s goals are a higher than that.
“I want to finish with my pride intact,” says Aaron, “I’d like to finish with the same sort of season I had last year.”
That would be a pretty good season for a 40year-old baseball player. Aaron hit 40 homers, more than any other 39-year-old player ever hit. He led the Braves with a .301 average, and drove in 96 runs although he played in only 120 games.
Aaron admits that he got off to a slow start the past two seasons.
Monday, February 4, CCC Women’s Basketball Season begins. The girls will be playing at home against Monroe Community College.
This season should be more promising than last. There are five starters returning from last year. Those returning from last year are: Cheryl Batley, Wendy Biggs, Jean Farmer, Anne Maloney, and

After losing to Auburn CCC at home, the Red Barons went on the road to play their next 10 out of 11 games. CCC first traveled to Binghamton to take on the annually tough Broome CC Hornets, in which they dropped a tight ball game. Next, it was on to Utica to compete in the annual Mohawk Valley Christmas tourney in which the Red Barons copped second place. From there the CCC quintet trucked it on up to Monroe to play the third-rated team in region there. When Coming left, they took their fifth victory of the year home with them. In that contest, Keith Carrington pumped in 29 points and hauled in 22 caroms, while the rest of the team helped Coming to the win by playing tough defense. Then Alfred hosted the team from Spencer Hill, and like Monroe, got treated to Keith Carrington’s prowess. With the score notted at 62-62, Keith rebounded two different missed foul shots to give Corning a four-point lead, leading Coming to a 73-69 triumph.
Delhi Tech was the next stop on Corning’s junket. Traveling 3-1/2 hours on a bus, along with the Baron wrestlers, Corning was a bit rusty and beat 1-9 Delhi, 66-58. Three days later, Coming invaded Genesee Community College to play in the “Tundra” game. With only about 50 people in at-

He feels he must work^wice as hard this Spring . . . run more . . . play in a lot more games, and take more times at bat.
Aaron says that another thing about this season, he wants to get ready so he can play in more games than he did last season. Topping Ruth’s record is not enough for Hank. He wants to help the Braves win games.
Aaron appears to be holding up well under all the attention that has showered upon him since he started closing in on Ruth’s record, he even seems a bit bemused by all the fuss being made over him.
At the end of last season, Aaron felt it would be a long winter, a long wait.
But he has kept so busy, it hasn’t been long at all. Now the important thing, is to get ready for the season.
“My weight, considering my age, is right where I like it to be,” says Hank, “When I was younger, weight and legs were no problem. But, it gets harder year by year. One good thing though, the knee that was giving me some trouble a couple of years ago isn’t bothering me now.”
Theresa Meehan. Rounding out the team are newcomers, Pat Bocek, Bonnie Case, Kathy Kennedy, Eli-.zabeth K nor el, Karen Pelton, Sherry Simpson, and Dawn Stillwell.
The team also has a new coach this year, Mary Gail Lee. She will be assisted by Connie Greer, manager and Ellen Roemelt, trainer.
tendance, including players, cheerleaders, and coaches, and with the temperature of the gym below 50 degrees, Corning went home with their fourth win in a row. The next night Coming reported in at Tompkins-Cortland Community College, better known as TC-3, to blast them out of their gym, 103-74.
Coming Community College returned home on January 21 to open up a one-game homestand, against SUNY at Binghamton-Harpur, their J.V.’s of course. With CCC leading 42-27 at half, Harpur employed a half-court press and caught up to trail by only five. But Coming called time and they also decided to press, which resulted in many Harpur turnovers, which Coming converted to baskets to take a 90-67 victory over the Binghamton foes. The talented Coming basketballers then traveled to Victor, New York, to play Community College of the Finger Lakes. Corning played their best game of the season beating CCFL 100-79, with all ten players getting in the scoring column.
Coming’s next destination was Geneseo, where the Barons took their lumps. Shooting only 34percent from the field, Coming lost this cliff-hanger to a scrappy 4-5 team. January 30, Corning checks in at Alfred University to play their Frosh.
