Student Blood Needed For Five-Year-Old Child
The College Board of Trustees met September 28 at the Baron Steuben Hotel. One of the items on the agenda was approval of a certificate of ownership of the College radio station. No decision was made; instead, the Board chose to leave this agenda item for their workshop Monday.
Dave Game, General Manger of WCEB, was contacted regarding the Trustees’ action; and he states, “If no decision is made soon by the Board, then the College station will not go on the air until the second semester.”
It was also announced by Dr. Frederick to the Trustees that enrollment is up over the projected figure. Last year it was projected that enrollment would be 2,340. This includes both full-time and part-time students. Actual enrollment for the Fall 1973 semester was 2,420 students. This includes 1,660 full-time students and 760 part-time.
Next on the agenda was a report on the October semester. A detailed report was given by Dr. Frederick. Highlighting the report was the enrollment data. To date 37 have registered; 1/3 are from the Corning-Painted Post School District. This was considered good, for the College hopes to enroll 50. The present figure is only one day’s enrollment.
A report on the Wine Festival was given by Helen Williams, Director of Community Relations. Figures on proceeds to date are as
follows:
Total Take	$14,121
Minus Expenses	5,902
Profit to Date	$ 8,219
Profits are expected to range around $9 - 10,000 because income is expected from the chicken barbecue, the Houdini exhibit, varied displays, and Mr. Softee concessions. It was expressed, however, that the income from this year’s Festival was down over revenues from 1972.
It was also reported by a council of the 17 full-time professors on campus that they have been meeting to help the Trustees and other internal groups take a look at the College. The Council hopes, through an internal evaluation of the College and services provided, to be able to provide information not previously available. The Council has been meeting since early September.
It was announced by the College that next week on October 11 and 12 it will hold faculty obligation days. Incorporated in these days will be a marking seminar, in which the faculty will review the system of marking and try to see where changes can be made.
Lastly, Dr. Frederick announced that during Faculty Obligation Days Anne Cohn’s Cognitive Mapping Project will be announced. The program is a different one and deals with how students learn best and then try to set up learning programs related to this.
other students may take their concerns to their representatives.
In another portion of the meeting, conducted by Al Paparelli, Commons Director, the participants were divided into groups of five, and each member was asked to express his desires for changes on campus. The members were also asked to name the committee to which the proposals could be taken.
The desires for changes and their prospective committees were recorded on paper for the purposes of observation and comparison by all the groups at the end of the session.
A follow-up on the Student Government Core Group will occur on Wednesday, October third from 1:00 to 2:00 in the small lounge. The meeting will be open to any student who cares to know how, where, and to whom he may make a proposal for the betterment of his college.
ligations.
Course offerings have been designed so that students enrolling will be able to continue their educational plans next spring without penalty. The student can take three or four courses from October 1 until December 22, and can also take advantage of independent study courses. The October semester will end with exams December 17 to 22.
Further information, counseling and registration can be arranged through the Office of Admissions
The Bloodmobile will make its first visit of the year here at CCC on October 17. They will be taking donations all day starting at 8a.m. This year the quota is 200 pints.
The Red Cross is hoping to do better here than they did last year. Donations at CCC were poor last year as only 197 students donated. Last year’s take-in was quite a drop from previous years when the average amount of donations were in excess of 400 pints. Also this year the Corning Chapter of the Red Cross is combining talents with the Chemung County chapters due to the number of students here who are residents of Chemung County.
According to Ralph Simon, Chairman of the Red Cross blood drive. This bank could be crucial to a young five-year-old child's life, so student help in this situation is desperately needed. The child, Jeffery Scott, will be going in for open-heart surgery early next year and will be needing a minimum of 30 pints of blood for the operation. The situation is a unique one, in that Jeff resides with his parents in Barrington, Illinois, where there is no such thing as voluntary blood banks. In order to obtain blood for operations, the patient must buy blood
Continuing its announced intention of meeting with college officials to obtain opinions concerning a revamped student financial aid program to be introduced in
the Legislature next year, the Select Committee on Higher Education will hold meetings at the State University College at Buffalo on September 24 and at the Rochester Institute of Technology two days later.
Senators Jess Present of Jamestown and Gordon De Hond of Rochester, both members of the Committee, said that “there has been an enthusiastic response from the educators attending the first two meetings in New York City and in Westchester County. We look forward to receiving the constructive
from commercial blood banks where blood runs between $75-$100 per pint.
Jeff’s parents are poor and can hardly afford $6,000 for his operation as well as the added burden of up to $3,000 or more for blood for his operation. Students can help Jeff regardless of blood type, for if Jeff’s parents can secure at least 30 pints of any type of good blood, Jeff will be assured of having enough proper blood for his operation. Students must donate in Jeff’s name, however, or Jeff will not receive the blood.
In talking with Jeff’s cousin, a local resident who works as a shift supervisor at Corning Glass Works, the CRIER found that due to his poor heart Jeff must be relatively quiet and inactive. This means that he is not able to play and be active like other kids his age; and unless Jeff has this operation, he will die before he is much older. However, unless 30 or more pints can be procured for Jeff, the operation can’t take place. Once again, this plea goes out to all students to help out in this possible life and death situation.
If Jeff does have the operation, it is predicted by his physician, Dr. Milton Raug, that he will be
sals from Buffalo and Rochester college officials.”
Assemblyman Peter J. Costigan, Chairman of the Select Committee, pointed out that the Committee’s major effort at this time is the development of a program to complement the federal government’s Basic Opportunity Grant offering so as to generally broaden the eligibility standards to insure significant participation in the Program for students from middle-income families.
The broad outlies for this program proposal were put together in August at the first meeting of the Select Committee which was attended by State government, fiscal, and education leaders.
Other meetings with college leaders are scheduled for Albany.
and Ithaca
fully recovered in 18 months and will have absolutely no restrictions on his physical activity ever. Consequently then, Jeff will be perfectly normal after the operation.
In a luncheon in the Commons September 25, the donor requirements were revealed by Ralph Simon. They are as follows:
Age: 18-66 years old (or Doctor’s written OK)
Weight: 110 pounds or over
Respiratory Infection: Only if all symptoms have subsided.
Antibiotics: Donors taken only two weeks after final dose.
Allergies: No active symptoms or suppressive medication.
Tooth Extraction: After 72 hours.
Birth Control Pills: OK
Surgery: OK if wound is healed and at least after six months have elapsed.
Hepatitis or Malaria: Not acceptable as donors.
Malaria Preventative therapy: Three years must lapse.
Pregnancy: Not until six months after delivery, miscarriage, or abortion.
Venereal Disease: Not acceptable.
A minimum of eight weeks must pass between donations, and a donor may donate a maximum of five times per year.
Donations are not all that is needed for this blood bank, for help is needed in advance of the bank. Mr. Simon stated that this work was just as important to the success of the bank because unless the bank is prepared for properly, the bank won’t happen; and Jeff Scott will not get the blood he needs for his operation. People are needed to recruit donors, to do publicity and art work for the blood bank; and 12 people are needed to be chairmen of services which has to do with actual organization of the bank. All jobs require relatively little time, just a few hours a week. Anyone interested in helping to make the bank a success should leave their name and some way of reaching them in the CRIER mailbox in the PUB.
In conclusion, the blood bank will be held October 17 all day. Also, once again, student help is desperately needed to donate blood for Jeff Scott. All one has to do is to tell the nurse as you go in that you are donating in Jeff’s name. Remember, this could be a life-

A meeting of the Student Government Core Group was held Thursday at 12:30 in the small lounge. The meeting was one of many attempts to encourage student involvement in various campus organizations.
Most of the participants were chosen by Dean of Students, Donald Beck, on the basis of their interests in leadership, as indicated on their ACT forms. Other participants were representatives from various clubs, who attended voluntarily. Altogether, approximately twenty-five students were present at the meeting.
After having treated the participants to free lunches, Dean Beck gave a speech concerning the many faculty committees on which student members have the right to vote on matters of utmost importance to their college. Such students are chosen by the Student Government, Dean Beck said, any
OCTOBER 1 REGISTRATION
On the first day of pre-registration for the October 1 semester beginning at CCC, 37 students registered.
Interested students may still register between now and October 9. Such late registrants will miss only the Achievement Motivation course and can take advantage of all the other courses offered.
This new semester was designed to give the opportunity to begin college to those persons who were unable to start classes in August because of job and family com-

PERSPECTIVE
by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief
Bleed A Little
On October 17, students, faculty and staff will be asked to take about an hour out of their normal daily routine to give a pint of blood. The Blood Bank will be held in the Gym all day.
For all of us, the Blood Bank is an opportunity to show some compassion for our fellow human beings, to show we care. This time our help is needed even more, as there is a five year old boy, Jeff Scott, waiting for our response. Jeff needs the blood for an operation he will be having early next year. Without the blood and therefore our cooperation, he may die. It surely would be a tragedy if Jeff died because we would not rally to his cause.
Giving blood is painless and is one of the most important things we can do, to give something of ourselves to someone else. There is no pay, no recognition, and no reward for this gesture other than the pure satisfaction one feels in helping another.
Although Jeff only needs about thirty pints of blood, there are many others who are in just as dire straits. Here in Steuben County we have never had trouble having enough blood on hand, but Chemung County has consistently been deficient. It is for this reason that both the Corning area and Chemung County Red Cross Chapters are working together on this blood bank. Therefore, the needs are double and more participation will be needed.
After what the Red Cross did in this area after the flood, it is the least we can do to help them supply one of this area’s primary needs. There are many who need our help, especially five-year-old Jeff Scott, and it is up to us to come to their aid. It only takes an hour. It is a rare situation, indeed, when one can do so much good in so little time.
To the Editor:
A lesson in journalism is in order. Please check your resources before writing another Game Plan, and you may be able to save everyone’s time and also valuable newspaper space. I should also point out that your use of the "shotgun” technique makes it difficult to reply to your statements without covering more material than is necessary. A case in point is your suggested donation, followed by "...this is not the issue with which I wish to deal at this time.” Since you have mentioned it, however, I feel I shall also have to deal with it.
First: With the inclusion of any “donation” the cost of our films goes up to a special category of admission charged. In some instances it also means that we are forced to charge a particular rate as specified by the distributor. It is for these reasons that we have always avoided any kind of door admissions charges.
Second: The "rider” you mentioned concerning screening for ID was only a verbal agreement between me and the last year’s president of student government, which also included the promise
that students would be made available to do the screening at no cost to the Arts and Convocations budget. I shan’t go into the details of the degree of cuts made in the original budget, and the obvious fact is that it would be impossible to support a door checker under our budget. However, nobody came rushing to volunteer their services, but I shall be happy to accept your offer(?) to do so at all of the subsequent film showings. As for the projectionist doing so, as you suggested in conversations, his (her) time is taken up with preparing the film for projecting so that it will be a smooth operation.
So, we are all in agreement that students should get first choice. The “honor system” was an attempt to do so without having available any volunteers to check ID. You give two times for “public” seating, but the actual agreed time was 8:00 and not 8:10. It would be difficult to try to seat the general public five minutes before show time.
Since we are a "community” college, and since many do take courses here, even though they are not enrolled full time, we have
made all events open. We have had offers of community members to become “associates” at a nominal fee to help support our programs. The problem here is that the college desires to minimize the numbers of organizations on campus which gain funding from the community. In this way, larger amounts may be made available to a larger segment of the college population, instead of a number of “gimmie” requests having to be faced by our town friends.
These are the same statements I made to you when you informed me you were writing your letter to the public. Since you still wanted to write your article, and did not wish to write my reply simultaneously, I hope it will appear in some future issue of the CRIER, at which time most people will have forgotten what your original article was all about.
Sincerely,
Bill Thompson, Chairman
Arts & Convocations Committee
Editor’s Note: There was, in fact, a rider put on the Arts & Convocation budget by Student Life regarding the seating of students before community members.

Baffling Bookstore
Is the Used Bookstore hiding in the stacks? It would seem so, because it is very hard to try to find the manager in his office lately. Complaints are running wild about the operation of the Used Bookstore since the former manager, Diane Lewis, stepped down in early September due to her health. When Diane was manager, at least the bookstore was open predictably, excepting problems caused by the fact that no one knew where they were going to pot it this fall. But Terry Maloney, the freshman who has taken her place, doesn’t show any interest in the job he is being paid $1.85 an hour to perform. The work-study program pays Maloney for 15 hours a week of his time; as for his adherence to this schedule, ask a few students who have been trying to get rid of their used books.
This editor has personally talked with Terry; and in the talk, he told me that he would post a schedule and adhere to it -- well, Terry, how about it? Either do the work or step down and let someone who cares take over.
The Student Government elections are coming up this month. There are positions open on the Executive Board for secretary and treasurer, and for countless senators. If you have an interest in representing your division in the Student Senate, you should begin to circulate a petition among your fellow students (in your division) which will enable you to get your name on the ballot. If I’m not mistaken, it takes 50 student signatures to get your name on the ballot. It would seem that divisions shouldn’t bitch if they can’t generate students to represent them. And, a note to everyone -- let’s have a good turnout on election day. Last year only 200 students cared enough to vote in the Student Government elections. 15 percent is a pretty poor number.

It seems that the college is being a slight bit uncaring about the desires of students. The major example is the scheduling of two highly popular courses, Human Sexual Behaviour and Achievement Motivation, for the same weekend. These are the only courses offered on weekends, and the Human Sexual Behaviour course has been scheduled since July. To someone who has wanted to take this course, and had been told by his advisor during pre-registration that it would not be offered, and then to find that it was offered and that he couldn’t take it . . . well, it gets to be frustrating.
Have a good vacation!
Continuing Ed Offers Courses in Bath
Corning Community College will return to Bath with extension courses for the Fall semester, Gary A. Yoggy, Director of Continuing Education and Community Services, said today.
Permission has been received from the State University of New York to conduct an extension program on a limited basis. All classes will be held one evening per week in the Haverling High School and are open to all adults and high school seniors with permission from their guidance counselor.
Since the discontinuance of classes in the Bath area in 1967, Yoggy said there have been indications of interest in reinstating the courses. “We now feel there is a need to make the College more available to residents of this area,” he said.
The initial program will offer six courses: English 105-Freshman English, Monday, 7-9:45 p.m.; Accounting 103-Accounting Principles I, Tuesday 6:30-10:15; Psychology 101-General Psychology, Wednesday, 7-9:45p.m.;Mathl01-Structures of Math, Tuesday, 79:45 p.m.; History 111-American History, Thursday 7-9:45 p.m.;
and General Business 231-Business Law, Monday, 7-9:45 p.m.
Classes start on Tuesday, October 9 and run through January 28. Registration will be held in Haverling Central School on October 4 from 7-9 in Room 110.
Complete information is available at the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services Office on Corning campus.
thanx
We would like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere thanks to the Watkins Review. They've printed three papers (including this one) for us, all equally excellent.
Not only have they had the papers printed and ready on time, but they have helped us in many other ways. In contrast to our experience with other printers, namely Painted Post Press, the Watkins Review makes comparison impossible.
To the Watkins Review we extend our gratitude and appreciation for time and effort spent.

b.	hallucinogens
c.	barbiturates
20.	What relatively new drug has a dangerous potentiation level in the presence of alcohol?
a.	ethanol
b.	methaqualone
c.	Desoxyn
Answers:
1.	a (hallucinogenic derivative
of nutmeg) Clinical MDA, if it were available, would be similar to other hallucinogenics. Most MDA (not very prevalent in this area) is quite unpredictable with a high rate of bummers.
2.	b (animal tranquilizer) lost street THC is actually an animal tranquilizer. Actual tetrahydrocannabinol is rare because synthesizing it is a costly process.
3.	b (a secret military weapon) STP was originally developed as a weapon to instill fear in the opposing side.
4.	a (stimulant) Even though cocaine is classified under the Narcotic Act as a narcotic, its effects are like that of stimulants. It causes one’s moods to rise, suppresses hunger, and relieves fatigue for short-term durations. However, since the effects of cocaine last only a short while, repeated doses can cause toxic poisoning.
5.	b (barbiturates) Sleeping pills have long been used to cause suicide. Respiratory depression or central nervous system collapse
Taking A Look At Student Governance
causes death to occur. Withdrawal from barbiturates is often more difficult than withdrawal from heroin.
6.	c (mushroom) Psilocybin is the active ingredient of the stropharia cubensis, also known as the magic mushroom. It is grown mainly in the Western Hemisphere, sometimes for religious-meditative purposes.
7.	b (seconals) Clinically known as secobarbital sodium, a shortacting barbiturate.
8.	b (hashish) Many times more potent than grass, hash is made from the resin of the marijuana plant. Hashish is commonly smoked in the Far Eastern countries.
9.	c (shooting crystal) Crystal (a powdered form of speed) is a stimulant which can deteriorate the body if used for an extended length of time.
10.	b & c Even though street acid is seldom pure, it rarely contains strychnine or clinical LSD. Strychnine, a poison, is still falsely thought to be in many psychedelics. Impurities from mis synthesis of the drugs is causing the many bad reactions.
11.	b (tobacco) Smoking tobacco has a long list of detrimental factors, and, it’s addicting.
12.	a (hallucinogenic) Morning glory seeds are rated in the psychedelic category and were used several hundred years ago by South American civilizations. It is about one-tenth as potent as LSD. Most seed companies now coat their seeds with a substance designed to discourage ingestion.
13.	a (orange sunshine) A kind of street acid.
14.	a (toluene) The substance in glue which can cause damage to brain functions. Others of this category include household aerosol products, glue and petroleum-based products.
15.	b (mescaline) Mescaline is a psychedelic and produces no
physical addiction necessary for withdrawal as does downers and smack.
16.	c (speed) The base of most amphetamine preparations used today was developed during WWII to keep soldiers awake and in a fighting mood.
17.	a (smoked) Opium is made from a variety of poppies. Opium-cured grass is known as Panama-Red.
18.	b (peyote) Peyote is made from the peyote cactus. Mescaline is an alkaloid found in peyote, and used to denote the synthetic preparation.
19.	c (barbiturates) Among the most common causes of death in the U. S. is accidental overdose by mixtures of downers and alcohol.
20.	b (methaqualone) Quaalude, sopor. Methaqualone is a sedative-hypnotic. It has the same action as other drugs in its class but has been theorized that it acts on a different area of the central nervous system. This drug is dangerously hypersensitive, and as with other downers, potentiation in the presence of alcohol does take place.
This test can’t be graded in terms of A’s or B’s. The drug situation today is a many-sided thing, and errors in judgment can have bad consequences. If you missed many questions, it’s up to you to increase your knowledge of drugs; because we, as U. S. citizens, live in a drug-oriented society.
It should be also noted that users of street drugs can rarely be positive that the drug they have taken is what it was claimed to be. For example, mesc is often a combination of LSD and speed. Illegal drug traffic is a profit-making operation, and profits can be enhanced by cutting a drug or by burning a customer (selling very poor quality dope). One bit of advice, especially now with the new drug law, is buyer beware!
A group of about 25 students and a few staff members interested in this matter have begun meeting for the purpose of assessing the present situation and considering ways that students can be more effectively involved in governance affairs at Corning.
The first meeting was held Thursday, September 27, with weekly sessions planned until some direction is achieved. These were some of the main findings of the first meeting.
1.	The governance structure of the College provides for student involvement in almost every aspect of college life. For example: students have at least two voting members of each Faculty Association Committee- -the primary governance system within the College. The president of Student Government is a member of the President’s Cabinet (along with Deans and Chairman of the Faculty Association). The primary administrative body within the College. The Student Government President also participates in Board of Trustee meetings. Both Student Government and the Student Life Committee (this committee has 50% student membership) are primarily responsible for recom-
mending to the College President the use of approximately $100,000 which comes from students’ activity fee! (This budget funds programs like athletics, intramurals, film series, convocation speakers, clubs, Crier, Radio Station, dramatic productions, class trips, and several others).
2.	Our students don’t seem to be aware of the opportunity to influence the governance policies of this college.
3.	A large percentage of our students may not -- for one reason or another -- get actively involved in affairs of the College, but there are students who are interested if they become more aware.
4.	There is an excellent opportunity for personal growth through involvement in student governance.
5.	“If I don’t become involved and take some action, who will?”
6.	Last spring student elections were held, but there were candidates for only two of the four executive board positions. (Fran Hill, President and Bill Burke, Vice President). There were no candidates for the several Student Government Senator positions. Therefore, two students are currently officially representing Student Government!

Enrollment Exceeds Official Expectations
7.	Instead of having student government elections the end of September and risking a situation similar to last spring, elections will be postponed for at least a few weeks until there is a larger group of students working on this project and more of the student body is aware of what student governance is all about.
You will continue to be kept informed of the meetings on this matter and can expect more general information during the next several weeks. In the meantime, you might seek out one of the two student government leaders around the Student Government office (across from The Commons Main Lounge), pick up a Student Activity Budget from the Activities Office, and better yet, start asking yourself what should be done to improve this College of yours, and what you are going to do about it!
The total enrollment of students at Coming Community College for the fall semester has exceeded the expectations of College officials.
With 1660 students enrolled fulltime in the day and 760 part-time evening and day students, the total head count is 2420 students taking courses on the campus. The number compares with only 2340 which had been predicted to be enrolled.
While the number of full-time students in the day program is somewhat less than the number expected, the fact that more students this year are taking more hours of study and the number of part-time students is increased this year by 12 percent, the full-time equivalent (or credit hour production) meets budget expectations.
Not included in the above numbers is the enrollment of 148 students for courses offered in Elmira and Horseheads. This number is about 34 percent above that of last year.
Additional students are expected to begin courses in Bath, with registration set for October 4. The October 1 semester beginning on campus may also draw an additional 50 students.
The only program that had to close completely before the fall semester began was Nursing. This program was highly over-subscribed and is limited to the number who can be accommodated in the hospital facilities. Parts of some other programs were overloaded at pre-regstration, but all students were accommodated.

Vets' Column
by M. C. Swan
This week saw a few more events for the Vets’ Club come closer to realization. There is definitely a raffle coming up for the benefit of a scholarship fund. The prizes and ticket prices will be announced, and it looks as if the drawing may take place at another keg party.
Many of our members spent time during the September 22-23 weekend at the Watkins Glen circuit. Those of us who weren’t able to make it missed something. Our own illustrious Henry Benett easily won the first Formula One race and limped in for a third place in another.
Something else took place recently which affects not only the Vets but everyone on campus. Several local people responsible for law enforcement came to our campus to explain more clearly the new New York State drug law. I hope that not too many students missed it, because this is a law that will jolt you into wakefulness.
After many years of “enlightened” drug laws and meagerly sponsored social programs with little success, the state decided to try something else. Predictably enough, what came out of Albany was a gross over-reaction. It’s obvious that the state is prepared to mete out whatever punishment it takes to end drug-related crimes.
Their idea of a solution is that if there are X number of drug users, then incarcerating X number will solve the drug crime problem.
This new law sharply increases the penalties for most drug offenses and sharply decreases legal maneuverability. The law also contains provisions for non-drug related felonies which require mandatory jail terms for second offenders.
It’s the portion concerning drug offenses that will most concern students, but it’s the non-drug portion of the law that law enforcement people are concerned about, be-
cause of reduced plea bargaining opportunities. When the full impact of this law is felt, the judicial system, the correctional facilities, and the budget are going to be so overburdened that the state is going to wish that it had never heard of this problem.
There are members of the New York Civil Liberties Union who are determined to challenge the constitutionality of the new law. There are undoubtedly some stormy days ahead in the appellate courts.
Perhaps with all the pressures that are sure to come to bear, the legislature can be forced back to a position closer to legal sanity. In the meantime, one thing is obvious: unless you have an incredible passion for martyrdom, you won’t want to find yourself facing a drug charge under the new New York State Law.
P.S. In case you see a little pig being carried around, it is The Hog-Loin Award, which is presented to the least discreet Vet of the week.
CCC to Repeat London Trip
Applications from Corning Community College students and interested area residents are now being accepted for the annual London Field Study/Theater Trip.
Three hours of English credit may be earned on an elective basis as a result of a special course designed by Professors Michael Gilmartin, Andrew Lofquist, Henry Moonschein, and William Dolan. Four-year colleges will accept transfer credit. The three-week course was offered successfully last year to full-time day students as well as interested area residents.
Total costs for the December 27-January 17 trip are estimated at $450 plus personal expenses. This figure includes round-trip air fare, hotel room with breakfast, theater tickets, bus to Kennedy Airport from Coming, and return, and tuition for those taking the course for college credit. A $25.00 deposit is required by November 15 with the
balance to be paid in full by November 30. The college reserves the right to limit the number of participants.
Time has been planned for excursions to such places as Canterbury, Winchester, Stonehenge, Oxford, and Cambridge.
An open public meeting to provide further information for those interested will be held Friday, October 19, at 7:30 p.m. in the Large Lounge of the Commons.
The project is jointly sponsored by the Communications Division and the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services.
Registrations will be accepted through the Continuing Education and Community Services office on campus through November 15. Detailed information can be obtained by getting in touch with Professors Andrew Lofquist or William Dolan at the College. Telephone 9629271.
NEW DRUG LAW: STUDENTS GET FACTS
On Tuesday, September 25, at 1 p.m. in the gym, a convocation was held concerning the new drug law which went into effect September 1. Approximately 900 people attended this event which included students from CCC as well as students from area high schools.
The convocation included a panel moderated by Jack Kelley. Director of Student Services, with William Driscoll, chief BCI investigator for Steuben County; Jack Finnerty, District Attorney for Steuben County; Ray Roberts, a local attorney; and Robert Miller, another local attorney, participating. The panel discussed in detail all aspects of the new drug law.
After introduction of the panel to the audience by Jack Kelley, each member took a section of the law and discussed the applications of the drug law to each person as an individual. After discussing the law, each member gave his opinion of the law. Most on the panel, with the exception of Jack Kelley, moderator, were for the law, although Mr. Miller expressed a somewhat indifferent view toward it. How-
ever, each panel member did express the opinion that regardless of how they feel on the law, they still have to enforce it.
The program was opened for questions after the discussion of the law. One question, or more of a concern, was expressed by an instructor about the fact that it seems that the law covers every known drug but does not concern itself with our number one problem, alcohol abuse. Other questions about the logistics as well as other criticisms about the law were raised.
Highlighting the convocation was a demonstration against the law by students and interested faculty. The demonstrators peacefully carried signs bearing Governor Rockefeller’s picture and the words: WANTED
Effective September 1, 1973 Nelson Rockefeller
New York State’s Number One Drug Law Junkie
The convocation ended around 2 p.m., and a question-and-answer session was held in the Large Lounge of the Commons afterward.

—CAREER OP THE WEEK—
THE COMMERCIAL BANKING INDUSTRY
by Ronnie Bayer Lipp
A mature, fairly responsible person who is willing to learn can start a career in the commercial banking industry without a college education. A bank employee at any
level from teller or account clerk to supervisor, assistant cashier, assistant trust officer, trust officer, assistant vice-president, or vice-president can take short-term courses from the American Institute of Banking (A.I.B.) in Elmira or Coming, during evening hours, entirely paid for by the bank, and move up the ladder in responsibility, pay and prestige.
Robert Maxwell, a graduate of Corning Free Academy, started as a teller and is now Vice-President in Charge of Operations at the First Bank and Trust Company of Corn-
ing. He has taken a number of courses from A.I.B., including bank bookkeeping, principles of bank operations, commercial law, and accounting. Also, he was given the opportunity to take a two-year course (several weeks at a time) from the New York State Bankers’ Association in West Point. The subjects included consumer credit and loans and mortgages. The room and board and course fees were paid by the bank, along with his regular salary.
If you’re interested in a banking career, the most typical entry job is that of teller. At First Bank of Corning the starting salary for an individual with no experience is $85 - $90 a week, with an annual salary review. Of the 80 employees at First Bank, less than half a dozen have college degrees, but su-
From The Publisher
A Passenger in the Boat
I’m writing this piece for THE CRIER because the editor, Tom Beiswenger, has repeatedly asked me to do so. My reluctance stems from my attitude toward the job of publisher that came my way after Joe Ocsodal joined the ranks of the dear departed. THE CRIER is a student newspaper and the writing in it should be student writing. Similarly, the management of the paper should be student management, with the publisher in the role of adviser and helper. The publisher properly is a passenger in the boat, but he shouldn’t try to steer.
Like any passenger, of course, the publisher should be capable of rocking the boat once in a while. Since he must authorize cash disbursements, for example, he ought to question them when they seem excessive. Item: forty-seven bucks to overhaul an old standard typewriter! That kind of layout makes me wonder whether we wouldn’t have done better to look for a new machine. Maybe the expense was justified, but I think I ought to find out.
Returning to the subject of authorship -- I don’t feel that THE
Editor department, especially, we non-students should feel free to dispense whatever wisdom we feel possessed of. Let’s keep those letters coming in, gang!
Another proper kind of faculty and staff participation is in writing guest articles for THE CRIER. Such articles are more or less on the order of this one and are more or less solicited by the newspaper staff.
The main point, finally, is that the basic character of a student paper should not be impaired. This policy makes us run the risk of turning out a bad newspaper some years. It makes us liable to victimization by the dirty word movement when dirty words are in vogue. I’m happy that the present staff has set high standards for the paper -- and not only linguistically but in other ways too.
Come to think of it, I’m very happy with the present staff. That makes my philosophy of minimal boat rocking a comfortable one this year. I wonder what I’ll say if the situation ever changes. But then at least I’ll have material for another column - - one in which I
pervisors and bank officers can earn approximately $10,000 to $25,000 a year. In hiring a teller, the qualities looked for include common sense, the desire to work with people, a sense of responsibility and the willingness to learn.
Small town bankers are exposed to all phases of bank operations. Individuals employed in larger banks tend to be more specialized. The types of services a commer-

Local labor union leaders and rank and file members will find an area of interest in a course being offered at the Off-Campus Campus Center in the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services program this fall.
The role of the union steward, importance of contract language, steps of the grievance procedure, and how to prepare for arbitration will be covered in the six-week course beginning September 19.
Harry C. Cornwall of the Industrial Relations School of Cornell University will instruct the course. For over 25 years, Professor Cornwall has served with various

estate? By will? Trust?
These and other topics will be covered in a four-week session on Estate and Retirement Planning to be held at East High School October 9-30.
The sessions are jointly sponsored by the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services at Corning Community College and the Steuben County Agricultural Cooperative Extension.
The course is encouraged not only for those in the planning stages of retirement but retired people will find the session devoted to wills, estates, trust, life insurance and Social Security benefits helpful.
The tuition is $2 and is open to the first fifty people who register. Registrations will be accepted through October 9 at the Office of Continuing Education and Community Services on the Coming campus.
Basic Grants
The Office of Education is sponsoring a new student financial aid program which is available to first-time, full-time students for the 1973-74 school year.
The new Basic Educational Opportunity Grant Program -- more popularly known as Basic Grants -- is designed to assist eligible students planning to enter colleges, universities, community colleges, approved vocational and technical schools, and hospital schools of nursing.
When the appropriation is sufficient to fully fund the program, students will receive grant assistance of $1400, less the amount the
family can be expected to contribute for the postsecondary education of the student. No grant can, however, be more than one-half of a student’s cost of attendance.
For the 1973-74 academic year, $122 million is available to assist an estimated 425,000 students. The maximum award is $452 and the average award is $200.
The amount of each student’s expected family contribution and the amount of his award is determined on the basis of a formula developed by the Office of Education and applied consistently to all students who apply for a Basic Grant.
Basic Grants, unlike loans, do not have to be repaid and may be used to cover a student’s tuition, fees, room, board, books, supplies, and miscellaneous expenses. They are the “floor” of the assistance package available to eligible students. Other forms of student aid may be provided in addition to these grants.
Applications are available from financial aid officers at institutions of postsecondary education, high school guidance counselors, post offices, state employment offices, county agricultural extension agents, or by writing to Basic Grants, Box G, Iowa City, Iowa 52240.

A novel videotaped demonstration of the present range and variety of videotaping activities at Corning Community College was presented at the regular meeting of the College Board of Trustees last week at the Baron Steuben Hotel. The presentation was prepared by Irwin Stein, director of the Learning Resources Center of the Arthur A. Houghton Jr. Library.
The major use of video at the College lies in production activities on the campus, although some programs are being brought in from outside sources. Videotaping has increased enormously over the past few years, and its applications

have become so varied, that this medium is now used creatively in almost every instructional program.
In the laboratory sciences TV is used to magnify details: in biology, for example, the camera displays proper dissection techniques. Courses in nursing have utilized the video cameras at every level of instruction from bedside care to operating room.
Video as a tool for coaching is used not only in physical education classes and in sports but also for study of speech where each student can observe his own performance (Continued on Page 6)
The contemporary artists’ exhibitions that will be opening at the Arnot Art Museum on Sept. 29 may be the most important exhibit of paintings and sculptures ever presented at the museum. Important, not because of the names of the artists, for most are just beginning to receive notice in New York City reviews, but because this is the Arnot Art Museum’s opportunity to discover new, talented young artists first. The museum plans to add some of their works to their permanent collection and thereby to the cultural heritage of the area.
Another factor of the importance is that the Arnot Art Museum made this exhibition happen. It did not come pre-packaged and ready to hang, but was organized by the museum through the aid of C.A.P.S.,

D0UBLE CROSS-UP
BY LORA W. ASDORIAN
Consider the clues from all angles; they may CROSS you UP! The clue may be a pun on the word wanted, or an anagram of the word itself. Usually the clue contains a definition (synonym) as well as a cryptic representation of the word. Certain words may stand for letters in an anagram, e.g., NOTHING, TEA. SEE, WHY, YOU, and BE may represent 0, T, C, Y, U, and B. The word could also be hidden in the letters of the clue, e.g., the phrase "human being rated as unthankful" contains the answer INGRATE. The word might be defined in two parts, e.g., a clue for FORESTER is "ranger in favor of organic compound" (FOR ESTER).
Write the words over the numbered dashes and then transfer each letter to the correspondingly numbered square in the diagram. Black scares indicate word endings. The completed diagram will contain a quotation reading from left to right The first letter of the answered words will give you the author's name and title of the work from which the quote comes.

Approves Funds
On Thursday, September 27, the Faculty-Student Association (FSA) Surplus Sub-committee met and approved two requests. Funds totaling approximately $4700 were allocated.
Commons Committee’s request for funds to support daytime programming were approved. The allocation was for a heavy-duty video tape playback unit and a video tape portapac for independent programming. Due to the approval of these funds the Committee will be able to begin daytime programming shortly. The allocation totals approximately $4000.
Also approved was WCEB’s request for funds to aid in the purchase of a broadcast board. Approval of this request will speed WCEB’s, the College student-run radio station, ability to go on the air soon. The amount approved was approximately $700.
It was announced at the meeting by Don Beck, Dean of Students, that the President, Dr. Robert Frederick, had approved other FSA allocations. Items approved were: renovation of a space in the lower Classroom Building for use as a student lounge, renovation of the Science Amphitheatre to provide a dramatic arts facility, and repair to the moveable stage used in the gym.
All allocations made by the FSA sub-committee are subject to final approval by Dr. Frederick before the money may be spent.
The sub-committee will meet again October 17 and 18 at 4 p.m. in Al Paparelli’s office to try to finish up their business.

When this 25-year-old researcher wanted to investigate a possible cancer treatment,
we gave him the go-ahead.
We also gave him the right to fail.
At Kodak, it’s not unusual for a 25-year-old like Jim Carroll to win the title of senior research physicist. Like any company involved in a lot of basic research, Kodak has felt the pressure of modern technology and the need for young, fresh thinking. So we hire the best talent we possibly can, and then give them as much responsibility as they can handle. Whatever their age.
We have departments and divisions, like any company. What we don’t have are preconceived ideas about how an expert scientist’s time should be spent. So when we received a request from the medical community for assistance in experimenting with lasers as a possible cancer treatment, we turned to 25-year-old Jim Carroll, who is deep in laser tech-
nology, and gave him the go-ahead. He built two half-billion watt laser systems, one of which Kodak has donated to the National Institute of Health.
The lasers proved unsuccessful in treating cancer, but we’d make the same decision all over again. We entered laser technology because we have a stake in business. We let a young researcher help the medical community look for a means of cancer treatment because we have a stake in the future of mankind.
To put it another way, we’re in business to make a profit. But in furthering our own needs, we have often furthered society’s. After all, our business depends on our society. So we care what happens to it.

Grappler Practice Begins October 15
Coach John Polo has established October 15 as “M” day for all candidates interested in being a member of Corning Community College’s wrestling team. For you new freshmen on campus, wrestling at Corning means “WINNERS.” It will be difficult to equal or better last year’s squad with a 16-2 dual meet record and 11th nationally.
In talking with the wrestling mentor starting his fourth year at Corning, he described this season as being no different than any other year. He recalls after graduation each year his feelings were “How can we ever get a team to equal that last one?” But each year they mold into an even better Region III contender. Some interesting information on past Polo teams at
the anticipation of making the team. The tough thing is the self-discipline and hard work the individual has to do on his own prior to the season,” says the Coach.
“Every year we have starters with very limited experience; that can change if the desire is there. Too many times a potential wrestler from a small town comes to Corning and doesn’t think he has a chance of breaking into the line-up. In answer to that we would have to take a look at Brad and Marc Gillespie from Bath. Brad took a sixth at the Nationals and Marc was a two-time runner-up in the National Tournament where 32 men in each weight class represent the best in Junior College wrestling in these United States.”

S.C.U.B.A. Club Takes First Dive
On Saturday, September 22, the S.C.U.B.A. Club took its first plunge to the depths of Seneca Lake. The divers, Wilf Kalbach, Steve Nesbit, Gary Lagola and Tom Beiswenger, dove to a depth of 40 feet to look at one of the Salt Point wrecks.
The wreck is an old coal barge which was scuttled somewhere around 1940. The actual size of the barge when it sailed was hard to figure due to the relatively poor condition the barge is in now. The barge is strewn along the lake bed for about 40-50 feet.
Many say that this wreck is not just one wreck, but a combination of about three wrecks. Opinion is varied as to this but it looks more like one wreck due to the fact that many of the hull supports and cross beams are still in place and run the full length of the wreck. Another reason why the wreck is thought to be of only one barge is that the cross beams are much too large for a smaller craft. One of the cross beams looked to be about four inches square, according to the divers.
The dive was not all serious though, for a new sport was discovered by Lagola and Beiswenger. The sport is Underwater Mud-sliding and is done simply. All one needs, according to these two divers, is a steep muddy bank. The divers take a hard plunge at the slope from about 10 feet above it and slide on their stomachs into the mud. The only problem is that after doing it a few times the water becomes all silted up.

wilf kalbach
During the dive a mannequin’s leg was found and before Lagola and Beiswenger had gotten to the wreck, Kalbach and Nesbit craftily stuck the leg under the wreck so that when the other two divers came upon it, the leg looked real. The leg was kept as a souvenir and will be stored in the SCUBA Club’s archives.
The weather for the dive was threatening, as a storm was coming from the north. The water was choppy but not too cold. Visibility was about 15-20 feet (good) and the thermal cline was estimated to be at about 15 feet.
This was the first of the club’s dives and more are planned throughout the year.
Cross Country Club
All students interested in joining the cross-country club please contact Mr. Polo immediately.
Also it is important that all present members see him, so he may have a record of names available for insurance policy reasons. As of now, he has no record of cross country club members.
Please respond to this request, with your name, address and telephone number.
