SEE CENTERFOLD FOR GRAND PRIX PHOTOS _______________________________________Pages 4 & 5 Allegations Linger on in Kent State Investigation by Curt Koehler (CPS) --Last month’s announcement that the Justice Department is reopening its investigation into the Kent State shootings came as a surprise to many who had assured or hoped the tragedy was by now forgotten history. But to those who petitioned, sued and pleaded to obtain a grand jury probe of the incident, Attorney General Elliot Richardson’s decision to renew federal investigation efforts represents the first favorable government reaction to the pressures of private citizens and a staggering accumulation of allegations. Crucial to any new investigation of the shooting which left four students dead and nine wounded are two key questions: -- Was there a conspiracy on the part of the Ohio Guardsmen to shoot students? -- Did Terrence Norman, an acknowledged former FBI informer posing as a photographer the day of the incident, fire a pistol preceding the Guard fusillade, hitting a student and possibly triggering the Guardsmen? At the time of the shooting the Guardsmen were described as being under attack by a “mob” of students who had “hit . . . practically all of the Guardsmen . . . with missiles of various kinds.” Canterbury concluded, “In view of the extreme danger to the troops at this point, they were justified in firing.” Photographs and witnesses of the incident, however, indicate the Guard had already dispersed the crowd and established a clear exit for themselves. Additionally, only one Guardsman required any kind of medical attention and a number of Guardsmen were so unconcerned that they had turned their backs on the students at the time of the firings. Of the students wounded, the closest to the Guard was 71 feet away when hit and the closest student killed Was 265 feet away. Arguments that Guardsmen engaged in a conspiracy to open fire moments before the shooting began are based on reports that Guardsmen were seen to have grouped briefly at the bottom of a October |9, 197$ the crisp volume 14, number 5 corning community college hill, marched to its top, turn almost in unison and begin firing. A Guard sergeant was photographed giving a gesture which corresponds to a Guard hand signal for an order to fire only a moment before his men turned and opened fire. Other allegations concern the possibility of Norman firing a shot later described as “sniper fire.” Early Admissions Program Termed Successful Thirty-three high school students from Coming-Painted Post East and West sampled the “Early Admission” program at Corning Community College during the 1972-73 year. A follow-up of their performance shows that they were highly successful. Only three students withdrew without finishing a course -- a lower percentage drop-out than is usual with beginning college freshmen. Twenty-seven students attended both fall and spring terms. Most of these students were enrolled in one or two courses per term, but two students accumulated 22 semester hours each, which is nearly three-quarters of the freshman year. Seven students completed 16 to 20 hours, which is more than one semester of the freshman year. In all, ten students took more than 15 hours each for the year, and the highest any one student took in one semester was 13 hours. Remarkably good grades were attained by most of the students. In the fall term 26 attained an “A” or “B” average: three received a “C” average; and there were no “D’s” or “F’s”. In the spring semester 23 attained an “A” or “B”; four received a “C”; and there was one “D”. The Early Admission program, supervised by the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services, offers the high school senior who has the time an opportunity to get a head start on his college career. These students enroll in very basic courses that are required in all college curricula, such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, psychology and languages. Therefore, no matter what college the students attend, these credits will count toward their degrees. Five of the students from this program in the 1972-73 academic year are continuing on at C.C.C. this year. The two young people who completed 22 credit hours each are Charles E. Dana, son of Dr. and Mrs. Arthur P. Darling of Painted Poat and of Mr. William H. Dana of Coming, and David N. Dunn, son of the ReverendandMrs. Lawrence E. Dunn of Painted Post. Charles Dana is attending Dartmouth College. His parents feel that, while the beginning of college in the senior high school year effectively removes the student from senior year activities, the experience gives him a head start on knowing what college is about. David Dunn is attending Cornell, and his parents report that he will be able to complete his requirements there in three and one-half years. His program of study was outlined for him to earn 98 credits there, which means that he was given credit for his 22 hours at C.C.C. In the 1971-72 academic year Rochelle Araujo, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger J. Araujo of Corning , took advantage of the Early Admission and earned 28 credit hours at C.C.C. The following year she was admitted as a sophomore at Cornell in the pre-veterinarian program. Rochelle expresses gratitude that she could begin at C.C.C. becauseitshortens her anticipated long number of years of study in her particular career choice. She also feels that, “I was less timid about attending such a large university, and I was very glad when I started that Cornell does not show class distinction in its treatment of students.” Jobs for Students Now Available in Europe “Jobs for young people 18 to 29 are now available in Europe any time of the year,” said Dr. F. X. Gordon, President of Princeton Research, at an interview with Stanford University and Palo Alto High School students today. “The European Common Market unemployment rate is 50 percent less than that of the United States. Job availability forecasts for 1974 high school and college graduates in the United States are not so rosy. There are more young people entering the job seeking market (some 1,300,000 per year) than there are suitable jobs. Some graduating High School Seniors, College Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors are wisely following the advice of personnel and education experts by planning to take a year off from the academic treadmill to stretch the mind by working and travelling. “We have a program called Jobs Europe,” he continued. “The aim of this program is to give young people, 18 to 29 years of age, an inexpensive and unique opportunity to live in, and learn about, Europe.” In the past 13 years we have found jobs in Europe for 10,823 young people. Three thousand (3,000) jobs are now available anytime of the year -- Winter, Norman is quoted in a letter from an Ohio Guard commander to Senator Birch Bayh (D-IN) as having told police, “I think I shot one of the students.” A Little Rock, AK newsman saw Norman’s gun turned over to a campus detective who opened the chamber and reportedly said, “My God, he fired four shots. What the hell do we do now?” Norman, introduced that day by a Kent State campus police officer to the National Guard public information officer on the scene as “under contract for the FBI,” was allegedly issued press credentials to photograph the demonstration for later prosecutions. The FBI report of the incident said Norman’s gun had not been fired. A team of Justice Department lawyers, headed by Robert Murphy, urged then Attorney General John Mitchell to authorize a grand jury investigation on the basis of the original FBI report. Both Mitchell and his successor, Richard Kleindienst, refused to order grand juries. The 8,000 page FBI document is said to be secreted away under a security classification in the National Archives. As recently as May 25 of this year Leonard Garment, Special Counsel to the President, wrote, “If a Grand Jury were convened it would bring no indictments, or bring indictments which would only result in acquittal.” Efforts to reopen the investigation include: --a petition campaign to the President bearing 50,000 signatures. --a suit involving parents of the slain students, two of the wounded students and a member of the President’s Commission on Campus Unrest. -- a recently released book by-Peter Davies, “The Truth About Kent State.” -- a study by the Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church. A crucial issue in the suit to compel a grand jury investigation is closely related to an issue involved in the current litigation over the President’s Watergate recordings. In both cases the administration is claiming power to control the investigative powers of grand juries. The Kent State plaintiffs, following this reasoning, filed a “friend of the court” brief in support of Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox and the grand jury in the Watergate tapes case. It’s been suggested that attacks on the Justice Department’s handling of the Watergate conspiracies plus a rash of allegedly “political” trials instigated by the government during the Nixon administration have contributed to Richardson’s decision to overrule his predecessors. The renewed investigation does not necessarily dictate the calling of a grand jury; however, the fact that the new investigation i being entrusted to Robert Murphy, whose team of lawyers recommended a grand jury three years ago, indicates it is now a real possibility. The over three years of legal complexity and bureaucracy have added new irony to the declaration of Brigadier General Canterbury on the morning of the shooting, “These students are going to have to find out what law and order is all about.” Gay Squelched At Cortland Spring, Summer and Fall. These guaranteed salaried jobs are mostly for trainees (general help) as stewardesses and stewards on trains, with large first-class hotels, restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, etc. in Switzerland, England, and Belgium. Most of the jobs include room and board in addition to local salary. Friends can work together, or near each other, if they apply together.

The Vice President for Student Affairs, Dr. William Taylor, instructed Kenneth Barclay, Director of College Activities and Union, to deny the group’s request for space in the Union for an organizational meeting. The stated reason for the denial of space was listed as “confusion concerning the legality of this organization on campus.” Taylor met with a PRESS reporter to discuss the reasons for rejecting the room request. The reason was opposition within Administration and community to a group of homosexuals being permitted to meet on campus. Those opposed, questioned the educational intent of Gay Liberation on campus. While Taylor himself seemed aware of the educational purpose of Gay Liberation, he said that he was doing everything in his power to steer a course of moderation and compromise. On September 14, Taylor released a memorandum concerning the issue. This memorandum included an opinion from President Richard C. Jones. In response to this memorandum, Gay Liberation organizers have prepared a constitution which will be proposed to the Student Senate meeting Monday. Temporary recognition has been extended to the group by Larry Summers, CCSA President. A second request for a room will be submitted to the Union by Gay Liberation organizers. They state that the purpose of the meeting will be to promote the educational purposes of Gay Liberation. the crier October 19, 1973 page GUEST EDITORIAL THE STUDENT AS NIGGER by Jerry Farber California State College Los Angeles, California (EDITOR’S NOTE: The article presented below was written in 1968 by Jerry Farber, former professor at California State College in Los Angeles. In printing this we are expressing an opinion we both hold concerning the educational system as it now exists and its effects upon the masses who come in contact with it. Granted, the article is a bit extreme and the language is a mite strong. It was meant to be for each one of us, in some way or another, is a product of this machine we call education. The column is not necessarily directed solely at Coming Community College, but by no means is it exempt, instead it is directed d the educational system as a whole. Rather than writing our own respective columns, we are combining “Perspective” and “Game Plan” this week by presenting this. The article is quite long, but it makes a valid point. Read it, and then do something about it. --T. B. & D. G.) Students are niggers. When you get that straight, our schools begin to make sense. It’s more important, though, to understand why they’re niggers. If we follow that question seriously enough, it will lead us past the zone of academic bullshit, where dedicated teachers pass their knowledge on to a new generation, and into the nitty-gritty of human needs and hangups. And from there we can go on to consider whether it might ever be possible for students to come up from slavery. First, let’s see what’s happening now. Let’s look at the role students play in what we like to call education. At Cal State L.A., where I teach, the students have separate and unequal dining facilities. If I take them into the faculty dining room, my colleagues get uncomfortable, as though there were a bad smell. If I eat in the student cafeteria, I become known as the educational equivalent of a nigger lover. In at least one building there are even rest rooms which students may not use. At Cal State, also, there is an unwritten law barring student-faculty lovemaking. Fortunately this satimiscegenation law, like its Southern counterpart, is not 100 percent effective. Students at Cal State are politically disenfranchised. They are in an academic Lownaes County. Most of them can vote in national elections--their average age is about 26--but they have no voice in the decisions which affect their academic lives. The students are, it is true, allowed to have a toy government run for the most part by Uncle Toms and concerned with trivia. The faculty and administrators decide what courses will be offered: the students get to choose their own Homecoming Queen. Occasionally when student leaders get uppity and rebellious, they’re either ignored, put off with trivial concessions, or maneuvered expertly out of position. A student at Cal State is expected to know his place. He calls a faculty member “Sir” or “Doctor” or “Professor”--and he smiles and shuffles some as he stands outside the professor’s office waiting for permission to enter. The faculty tell him what courses to take in my department, English, even electives have to be approved by a faculty member; they tell him what to read, what to write, and frequently, where to set the margins on his typewriter. They tell him what’s true and what isn’t. Some teachers insist that they encourage dissent but they’re almost always jiving and every student knows it.

I know of one professor who refused to take up class time for exams and required students to show up for tests at 6:30 in the morning. And they did, by God! Another, at exam time, provides answer cards to be filled out--each one enclosed in a paper bag with a hole cut in the top to see through. Students stick their writing hands in the bags while taking the test. The teacher isn’taprovo; I wish he were. He does it to prevent cheating. Another colleague once caught a student reading during one of his lectures and threw her book against the wall. Still another lectures his students into a stupor and then screams at them in a rage when they fall asleep. Just last week during the first meeting of a class, one girl got up to leave after about ten minutes had gone by. The teacher rushed over, grabbed her by the arm, saying “This class is not dismissed!” and led her back to her seat. On the same day another teacher began by informing his class that he does not like beards, mustaches, long hair on boys, or capri pants on girls, and will not tolerate any of that in his class. The class, incidentally, consisted mostly of high schoolteachers. Even more discouraging than this Auschwitz approach to education is the fact that the students take it. They haven’t gone through twelve years of public school for nothing. They’ve learned one thing and perhaps only one thing during those twelve years. They’ve forgotten their algebra. They’re hopelessly vague about chemistry and physics. They’ve grown to fear and resent literature. They write like they’ve been lobotomised. But Jesus, can they follow orders! Freshmen come up to me with an essay and ask if I want it in a folder, and whether their name should be in the upper right hand corner. And I want to cry and kiss them and caress their poor tortured heads. Students don’t ask that orders make sense. They give up expecting things to make sense long before they leave elementary school. Things are true because the teacher says they’re true. At a very early age we all learn to accept “two truths,” as did certain medieval church women. Outside of class, things are true to your tongue, your fingers, your stomach, your heart. Inside class, things are true by reason of authority. And that’s just fine because you don’t care anyway. Miss Wiedemeyer tells you a noun is a person, place, or thing. So let it be. You don’t give a rat’s ass; she doesn’t give a rat’s ass. The important thing is to please her. Back in k inde rga r t en you found out the teachers only love children who stand in nice straight lines. And that’s where it’s been at ever since, nothing changes except to get worse. School becomes more and more obviously a prison. Last year I spoke to a student assembly at Manual Arts High School and then couldn’t get out of the goddamn school. I mean there was no way out. Locked doors, high fences. One of the inmates was trying to make it over a fence when he saw me coming and froze in panic. For a moment I expected sirens, a rattle of bullets, and him clawing the fence. Then there’s the infamous “code of dress.” In some high schools, if your skirt looks too short, you have to kneel before the principal, in a brief allegory of fellatio. If the hem doesn’t reach the floor, you go home to change while he presumably jacks off. Boys in high school can’t be too sloppy and they can’t even be too sharp. You’d think the school board would be delighted to see all the spades trooping to school in pointy shoes, suits, ties, and stringy brims. Uh-uh. They’re too visible. What school amounts to, then, for white and black kids alike, is a 12-year course in how to be slaves. What else could explain what I see in a freshman class? They’ve got that slave mentality, obliging and ingratiating on the surface but hostile and resistant underneath. As do black slaves, students vary in their awareness of what’s going on. Some recognize their own put-on for what it is and even let their rebellion break through to the surface now and then. Others --including most of the “good students’’--have been more deeply brainwashed. They swallow the bullshit with greedy mouths. They honest-to-God believe in grades, in busy work, in General Education requirements. They’re pathetically eager to be pushed around. They’re like those old grey-headed house niggers you can still find in the South who don’t see what all the fuss is about because Mr. Charlie “treats us real good.” College entrance requirements tend to favor the Toms and screen out the rebels. Not entirely, of course. Some students at Cal State L.A. are expert con artists who know perfectly well what’s happening. They want the degree or the 2-S and spend their years on the old plantation alternately laughing and cursing as they play the game. If their egos are strong enough, they cheat a lot. And, of course, even the Toms are angry down deep somewhere. But it comes out in passive rather than active aggression. They’re unexplainably thick-witted and subject to frequent spells of laziness. They misread simple questions. They spend their nights mechanically outlining history chapters while meticulously failing to comprehend a word of what’s in front of them. The saddest cases among both black slaves and student slaves are the ones who have so thoroughly introjected their masters’ values that their anger is all turned inward. At Cal State these are the kids for whom every low grade is torture, who stammer and shake when they speak to a professor, who go through an emotional crisis every time they’re called upon during class. You can recognize them easily enough at finals time. Their faces are festooned with fresh pimples; their bowels boil audibly across the room; if there really is a Last Judgment, then the parents and teachers who created these wrecks are going to burn in hell. So students are niggers. It’s time to find out why, and to do this, we have to take a long look at Mr. Charlie. The teachers I know best are college professors. Outside the classroom and taken as a group, their most striking characteristic is timidity. They’re short on balls. Just look at their working conditions. At a time when even migrant workers have begun to fight and win, college professors are afraid to make more than a token effort to improve their pitiful economic status. In California state colleges the faculties are screwed regularly and vigorously by the Governor and Legislature and yet they still won’t offer any solid resistance. They lie flat on their stomachs with their pants down, mumbling catch phrases like “professional dignity” and “meaningful dialogue.” Professors were no different when I was an undergraduate at UCLA during the McCarthy era, it was like a cattle stampede as they rushed to cop out. And in more recent years, I found that my being arrested in sit-ins brought from my colleagues not so much approval or condemnation as open-mouth astonishment: “You could lose your job!” Now, of course, there’s the Vietnamese War. It gets some opposition from a few teachers. Some support it. But a vast number of professors who know perfectly well what’s happening, are copping out again. And in the high schools, you can forget it. Stillness reigns. (Continued on Page 6) Letters to the Editor To the Editor: Thanks to your reporter Frank Chalk for the fine article in last week’s CRIER on Henry Bennett’s and my racing activities. I would like to make a couple corrections To the Editor: I have been receiving complaints from our neighbors that students, and possibly staff, do not stop at the “STOP” sign at the exit of our campus. If this is true, these individuals are clearly in violation of state law. If the practice of violating the “STOP” sign continues, we are sure the neighbors will have no choice but to notify the State Police. Sincerely, Robert W. Frederick Jr. President, CCC to misinformation in the article. First, there were no deaths or injuries at the Grand Prix last year. The two deaths I was referring to in the interview took place at the Indy 500, which had a total attendance of over 400,000. There were actually three fatalities at the 500, two on race day and one in qualifying. Secondly, to libbers. I’ll say that women do race. To the best of my knowledge there are none involved in USAC or NASCAR racing but SCCA, the organization under whose sanction Henry and I race, is totally integrated. In fact, at a recent race at Watkins Glen, Henry and I were both beaten by a fine female driver. As for the races on September 22 and 23 at Watkins Glen, we both had good weekends. Henry, driving his new RCA MG IV formula Vee for only the second time, did an outstanding job of driving his way to a win in the first race and was leading the second race by a good margin when his engine totally disintegrated. He coasted over the finish line in third place. His two weekend finishes elevated him to second place in the New York State Formula Vee Points Championship with two races to go. Although I had a few minor mechanical problems and not much competition, I took first place trophy in both of my races and am heading the New York State Super Vee Points Championship. By the way, our next race at the Glen is Saturday and Sunday, October 20 and 21; and they’re free to those who want to attend.

The trend is apparently because students realize that earning a trip to Europe can be profitable in more ways than one. Any student taking a temporary job in Europe is able to get out and see some of the world on a pay-as-you-go basis and earn some money besides. A wide range of temporary student jobs are now available in Switzerland, Austria , France and Germany. Any student may apply through a mail application system. All jobs include free room and board plus a standard wage which ranges between $140 and $350--depending upon the actual job, tips, etc. However, the free room and board are perhaps the best benefit for a student in Europe. Jobs, permits and other neces- sary details are arranged on a non-profit basis by the Student Overseas Services--a student-run organization which has been assisting students for 15 years. SOS also conducts a five-day orientation period in Europe to make certain everything goes smoothly in Europe and that the students get off to their jobs at the right time. Any student may obtain an application form, job listings, and descriptions, and the SOS Handbook on earning a trip to Europe by sending their name, address, educational institution and $1 (for printing, postage, addressing and handling) to SOS--Student Overseas Services, 22 Avenue de la Liberte, L uxe m bou rg, Europe. Students interested in winter jobs in ski resorts should apply immediately. Birth Counseling Program A program offering free professional counseling for distressed pregnant women has been operating in the Coming area since last April. Its purpose is to make such a person aware of the alternatives to abortion and to help, but not pressure, her to make a decision for her future--and that of her child. The program is called “Pro-Life Line;” and it supports the medical fact that life begins not at birth, but at the moment of conception from which the child’s life functions--name, heart beating, sleeping, waking, swallowing and breathing--develop in various stages of the pregnancy. The services of “Pro-Life Line” are many. Confidential pregnancy tests are available. Help on financial, social, and spiritual matters is offered. Information is given on the father’s legal duties and on the possible homes for the mother and/or her child. Questions on adoption are answered; and the young woman is given help in telling her parents, if she so desires. “Pro-Life Line” is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday and may be contacted by telephone in or outside Corning. Within Corning only, a person should dial Operator and ask for Enterprise 8369 (toll free). Outside of Coming, one should call Elmira 734-0289. The phone will be answered by a woman volunteer with a ready ear and an open heart. If the expectant mother prefers, a friend may call for her, and no name need be given. Free transportation to the counseling service is available. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; But when I became a man. I put away childish things.
