This issue of THE CRIER is presented as the last issue of the fall semester. We the staff would like to take this opportunity to wish one and all a very happy holiday season. The Crisis Hits the Hill President Frederick has received and acted upon a number of suggestions regarding energy conservation on campus, according to a memo released November 27. A plan has been drawn up under which several energy-saving steps have been implemented. These steps include: 1. Central controlon water temperature is now set at 300 degrees, and water temperature in the heating pipes has been reduced so as to keep room temperatures at 68 degrees. 2. No one is to touch thermostats, and all windows should be kept closed. Smoking may be prohibited if it causes discomfort due to closed windows. 3. Only one boiler of the three is being used, with one on standby. 4. Regulation of temperature of all domestic hot water. 5. Exhaust fans will be shut off. 6. All fresh air louver intakes will be closed. A second memo was released December 4, basically to stress that classes will continue on the schedule implemented at the beginning of the academic year. Mini-mester and spring semester will be held on the dates listed on the school calendar, unless a government mandate necessitates a total shutdown. The only change in schedule to be made is the total shutdown beginning Friday, December 21 and ending January 1. Because of this shutdown, a change in regular grade reporting has been instituted. All faculty have been encouraged to post grades as quickly as possible, and students are urged to use postcards to obtain grades directly from faculty if they cannot wait until the first week of January. Masters and Johnson: Sex as a Natural Function by Doug Hoover “No one lives with sex as a natural function,” was the opening statement in a lecture given by Masters and Johnson. The acclaimed husband-wife research team spoke last Thursday, December 6, at 1 p.m. in the gymnasium. Speaking in an interesting and relaxed manner, the two dealt with -arious aspects of sex and sexual- • . They began by defining the ference between the two terms, ex was defined as specific acts or expressions whereas sexuality was termed as a way of expressing oneself as a male or female. It was brought out that sex should not be performed as a “push-button act” but rather as an expression of the self. The husband-wife team concentrated on bringing out the point that “Sex is a natural function and should be put back into that natural light.” They went on to say that “Many sex problems are related to our culture in that our culture tends to pre-package sex instead of allowing it to exist as a natural function.” A general view expressed by the pair was that sex should not be the responsibility of one partner but rather the responsibility should be shared by both. Masters and Johnson tied up their lecture by expressing their concern over the need for better sex education, ending the convocation with the statement “In order to have effective sex education, we will have to educate two generations at once.” Following the convocation, a question-and-answer period was held in the Large Lounge. During this time, Masters and Johnson dealt with such topics as homosexuality, causes of malfunction, sex and old age, psychology of rape and pornography. “We have not been able to treat sex as a natural function, as an act with comfort and dignity. It is time this changed.” -- Masters and Johnson. december 14, 1973 the cpiep volume 14, number 11 corning community college Car Pooling -- A Reality at CCC? by Dean David C. Frank Car Pooling In the National Media1 Thr need to change our one-person, one-car habit of going to work and college is pressing. We are faced with gasoline shortages, car emissions that heighten air pollution, and road congestion. “If only half the drivers now going to work by themselves would join car pools,” says Virginia H. Knauer, Director of the U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs, “we would have no gasoline or oil shortage.” How worthwhile is car pooling? Today, eight out of ten in the Nation’s work force travel to jobs in cars, and 56 percent of these drivers solo. A Highway Users Federation Study this year found that the total economic cost ofanaver-age one-way, 10-mile commuting trip is $2.64 (including outlays for roads, as well as the driver’s out-of-pocket expenses). In a four-passenger car pool then, the cost for each rider is only 66 K * The D.

Wrestler of the Week Rick Pyhtila, former Southside High School football and wrestling star, has been named “Wrestler of the Week” at Corning Community College. The 6’2” 2251b. heavyweight, in a clash with the University of Buffalo recently, defeated his opponent with a pin early in the second period, clinching the Baron’s first match of this season. In his first season at CCC Rick was 22 and 7. He was second in both the New Jersey Roadrunner Tournament and the NJCAA. Coach John Polo said, “Rick is a much improved wrestler this year and should be number 1 in the region. He has a strong potential for a place in the junior college nationals in Worthington, Minn, in March.” Donkey Basketball by Sandy Carpenter On Tuesday, December 4, Ski Club hosted a donkey basketball game between the faculty and stu-ents. The rules for a donkey basketball game differ quite a bit from league rules. In donkey basketball there aren’t any fouls or time outs at the end of a quarter. The only time out allowed is for the “Super-Duper Pooper-Scoop-er” to do his thing. The “Super-Duper Pooper Scooper” was kept fairly busy in the first quarter because, you see, these beasts of burden are not “potty-trained”yet. The' rules call for the player to push, pull, or tug his stubborn mount around the court. The player must be mounted to throw the ball. There are no out-of-bounds in this game as the fans sitting in the first row will atest to. Should a player manage to control his beast, he was open prey to the referee, who only had to touch the donkey in the right place to set him off. To the surprise of all, there were no broken bones among the players as they were thrown by their mounts. The faculty managed to get control of their mounts and the game in the first half. Two baskets were gotten while the student team was still trying to control their stubborn mounts. In the second half the students had a little better luck with their donkeys. As both teams gained control the game got rougher and rougher and the reins and donkeys began to get tangled up. The score, however, began to increase when both teams began leaving a mounted man under their basket. Despite a very hard-fought game, the final score was: Faculty-12 points, Students-8 points. No game is complete without cheerleaders, and both teams had a loud squad to back them. For amateur cheerleaders, they managed to lead fairly good cheers. It seems as if a few cheerleaders were confused as to what type of' game it was. On more than one occasion, such cheers as “We want a touchdown,” and “Tackle him” were heard. The Stage Band was also there, supplying music during halftime and breaks. The Super-Duper-Pooper Scooper was Mark Campbell. At this point, I think we should give faculty, students, donkeys, and cheerleaders a word of congratulations for a job well done.
