SURPLUS ALLOCATIONS IDEAS page 3 FEATURE STORY: industrial pollution WELCOME CLASS OF 75 ) freshmen — probelm — solutions The new freshman class entered the life of CCC Monday, August 27 with their first half of orientation beginning that morning. The official opening of CCC for the fall semester was at 1 p.m., the beginning of classes for day students. Most of the freshman this year are graduates of twenty area high schools. However, there are older students also in the present freshman class. These students are usually discharged vets and people just wanting to continue their education. But for all these students, college is a new experience coupled with the many problems of adjusting to a new environment. For many, the problems are simply those of adjusting and for them time is the only answer. However, this is not the only problem facing the new student. Financial aid is a problem faced by many students and if one goes to the financial aid office one will find an array of ways in which to get financial help. Such aid programs include low interest loans, grants, workstudy and general financial aid counselling. The person to see is Jim Allen in the stmdent personnel office on the second floor of the Administration Building. A common problem students have is hassles with one’s schedule and the best person to see in for help there, is your advisor as he or she is best equipped to handle problems of this nature. The advisor is foten a good person to talk to regarding most anything, be it a problem or not, for if the advisor can't provide you with what you need, he or she can refer you to someone who can. Students, being people, often run into personal problems, and here on campus there are three counselors geared just for those problems. The counselors are: Ron Hofsess, Gil Sweet, and Ann Cohn, also on campus is Father “Murph” Murphy, Campus Champlain, who is usually just an all-around good person to talk to. Thus, through a little searching one can find the answers to most problems. Granted, not all the problems a new student encounters are covered here in this article, to do that would take a ream of paper. However, for most problems FESTE - 73 the crier volume 14 number 1 corning community college A NEW crier VTN COMES TO CCC With this first issue of the CRIER comes a new look, a new style, and a new era of journalism for CCC. It is anticipated that the new CRIER will meet with student approval. This first issue was put out by the Editorial Board, but for future issues we hope that we will have a staff to provide assistance. Thus, we are asking that you the students, our readers, will get involved in this year’s CRIER. For those interested in working on the staff of the CRIER, the opening meeting wjlj be held Tuesday, September 11, at 1 p.m. Remember it’s your paper, you paid good money for it. Come and get your money’s worth. Commons Committee and WCEB-FM are combing talent and resources to bring Video Tape Network (VTN) programming to Corning. The chairman of Commons Committee, Mary Ann Covey, and the WCEB General Manager, Dave Game, recently attended a three-day workshop sponsored by VTN at New York University. At the workshop they learned of new equipment, programs available, equipment maintenance, and production planning and techniques. The workshop has enabled the College to begin its own programming. Some examples of this programming will be shown during the week of Sept. 10-14. Annual competitions that have attracted entrants from many states (as far west as Michgan) as well as fromall parts of New York State to the Wine Festival of the Finger Lakes in Corning, New York, have been the Amateur Winemaking Contest and the Bicycle Marathon. The Wine Festival of the Finger Lakes will be held on Saturday, September 8, on the Corning Community College campus from 12 noon to 7 p.m. Attracting over 8,000 guests in its first year and over 10,000 in 1972 from 20 states and 2 provinces of Canada, the third annual Festival is preparing for 12,000 to 15,000 visitors. The Amateur Wine-making Contest entrants range from bona fide enologists to housewives. Judges last year were surprised when the second prize in the fruit wine category was won by a housewife from Elmira, N.Y., who made the wine from red beets and raisins. The categories judged are the red and the white, both made from grapes: and the fruit wines made from rhubarb, beets, rose hips, mead (honey), raisins, elderberries, cherries, raspberries, and other fruits. Judging the red wines will be Ernest Fisher, chief winemaker for Gold Seal/Henri Marchant Vineyards, Jules Seltzer, also of Gold Seal, and Wayne Wagner of Birkett Mills. Ernest Fisher came to the New York State Finger Lakes region from Austria where he received his degree in oenology and vitaculture from the University of Koloster Neuburg. He was instrumental in setting up the the wine industry in Turkey while also serving as winemaker in Germany. He is presently on the advisory committee of the Geneva Agriculture and Experimental Station of Cornell University. White wines will be judged by Steven Coon, chief winemaker for Great Western Wine Company, James Walling also of Great Western, and John Wosinski, of Corning Glass Works. A native of Bath, N.Y., where his father is a physician, Steven Coon received his degree from Curry College in Massachusetts and is a member of the American Society of Enologists. Clark Bacher, Charles Mitchell, and Clyde Rathman, all of Corning Glass Works will judge the fruit wines. First, second and third prizes are awarded in each category. Prizes include wine-making equipment and bottles of fine estate-bottled wines. Contestants are asked to bring their wines to the Science Building on Corning Community College campus between 12 noon and 1 p.m. Ambitious amatuers may apply to Arthur DeKalb, 10189 Crane Rd., Lindley, N.Y., 14858 or to Charles R. Mitchell, River Rd., Lindley, N.Y., 14858. Entrants will be assessed fifty cents at the tables in order to cover expenses of the contest. The Bicycle Road Race and Marathon drew over 80 cyclists last year from 10 to 65 years of age. Because of added interest and numbers of inquires, this year there will be 13 categories of contestants: Three general ones — “Racing,” “Touring”, and “Tandem,” with the age divisions of Youth, 10-13 years; Junior, 14-17 years; Senior, 18-24 years; Master 25-40 years; and Veterans, 41 years and over. The race begins at the Village Square in Hammondsport, N.Y., and winds over country roads to Corning. Recommended equipment includes helmets, leather gloves, brightly colored clothing, and spare tube/tire and pump. Entry fee for adult division is $3.00; $2.00 for Junior and Youth divisions; $1.00 to be returned as deposit for number. Trophies, merchandise certificates, and special awards will be presented at a brief ceremony to be held at 3:30 p.m. at the Festival. Awards will be To make their productions, the joint video committee has submitted a proposal to FSA in the amount of $4,000 for the necessary equipment; SONY videocassette unit, a '/z inch portapak, and a SONY monitor, (see Committee Meets to Spend FSA Surplus, page 3). The first program scheduled is “Reefer Madness,” a 1936 classic anti-drug movie. The programs will all be shown in the Large Lounge, with no admission charge. Two student productions, made in New York, will be shown concurrently. made to the top three places in each of the 13 divisions. Parking in the City of Corning and buses to the College will be provided. Donation, for the Wine Festival is $3.00 for adults; under 18-year-olds are admitted free. Tickets are available from Hans P. Appelt, Corning Community College, Corning, N.Y. 14830. Note: Students are needed to help make the Wine Festival a success — contact Helen Williams at extension 286 or the CRIER office. PERSPECTIVE by Thomas M. Beiswenger, Editor in Chief “GLORIFIED HIGH SCHOOL?” GAME PLAN by David W. Game, Managing Editor “THE SECOND EDUCATION” After having completed two consecutive semesters at the college one becomes quite fam-liar with certain cliches indig-inous to Corning Community. One such trite phrase which is spewed forth by many a naive CCC student is that CCC is nothing but a glorified high school. There are, of course, other such statements running in about the same direction but the latter is most disturbing. Granted, CCC lacks the atmosphere found at most four year institutions, but this need not be so. The primary reason for the lack is that Corning is a commuter college, there is, thus, no unifying force among students such as on-campus dorms. Most students then, come from nearby areas unfortunately leaving intact the high school groups or cliques as they are better termed. It is these closely knit high school cliques which perpetrate the glorified high school theory. Here at Corning the desired atmosphere must be manufactured by the students because it doesn’t have a catalyst such as dorms or separation form past school-mates to provide the basics for the atmosphere. The high school cliques then, are the main stumbling block to a college atmosphere, and what is most disturbing is that these high school groups are mostly restricted to these students only. The students within these groups hang around with each other constnatly, swapping many times told stories about their high school days letting college life pass them by. It is for there blind unfortunates that the years at Corning are a mere extension of high school. Therefore, the students of this segment have no right to complain about an atmosphere they refuse to even try to start. The students belonging to these high school cliques not only lose the chance to enjoy their college education, but the also lose a major part of their education due to the fact that they are preoccupied with perpetrating their high schoo activities that they miss the many activities taking place on campus. Extra-curricular activities provide the student with an education of doing things shich broaden the base of one’s regular education, and often provide the stucent with an insight into things one is or isn’t familiar with. Getting involved not only provides further education but also can be profitable as many involvements in activities provide a paid salary. It is thus up to the student to involve his or herself in the campus, for the atmosphere must be created. The student should diversify him or herself and break from the obstructive high school clique. This is, however, not to say that one should break existing friendships but it is suggesting that one not be so tied.to those friendships that they become a barrier to involvement in the activities on campus and yes, other students. Thus, it is our college and it is us, the students who choose the atmosphere most desirable to us. A college or a glorified high school, the choice is ours. opinion This isan editorial column. An editorial column conveys the message of the editor responsible for the content. The message is his and his alone, whether it be right, left, up, down, or up his ass. Now that we’ve straightened out my position, I’d like to intrduce myself. My name appears at the top, but, for most of you, it doesn’t mean a thing. I’m a sophomore, 18, and hail from Roswell, New Mexico, and Elmira. I’m involved in the Orientation Program, Student Activities, and I’m the General Manager of soon-to-come WCEB-FM. Your’re probably wondering when I have time for classes. As far as I’m concerned, classes are fine, but they alone don’t comprise the total learning experience that I feel I should be striving for. To me, the activities side of college life is just as important as the classroom. Consider my reasons: Some activities can be a learning experience in themselves ie: the Crier, WCEB, Tech Club, Commoms Committee, etc. Others provide relief from the tensions of the classroom and a chance for the student to explore new interests or to exercise old hobbies. Good examples of these are Vets Club, German (or any language related) Club, or Intervarsity. The last class of clubs provide experience and expand knowledge in one’s chosen field, such as Future Secretaries and Nursing Club. The reasons for getting involved in an activity are many, they provide a good catalyst for meeting people and making friends. Activities can provide constuctive activity to fill those off hours that usually are spent around a table in the lounge playing euchre. Some activities provide a salary for their officers. So, whatever evil motivates you can produce, they can be turned into a resong to get involved. The purpose of college is to prepare a person to face life by giving him the knowledge and basic pattern of reasoning to enable him to succeed in a fiercely competitive world. Membership in an interesting club or participation on an activity can provide common-sense exposure to a college student; this is greatly important if you intend to succeed, and the college sure as hell won’t give it to you. I’m not running down classes. Unfortunately, they’re necessary. What I would like to see is the freshmen class bettering itself by involving itself in Corning. Everyone complains that this college, owing to the fact that it is a community college, is nothing more than a glorified high school. If so, this is the fault of our current sophomore class. They have been given a whole year to initiate change, and if change is not initiated, who else isto blame. It can only be hoped that the freshmen, the class of 1975, will take a different, more positive view.

NEW PROJECTS committee meets to spend f.s.a. surplus money commons committee new programs A committee comprised of the leaders of Commons Committee, ICC, Student Government, Student Life Committee, A1 Papar-elli, and Dean Donald Back has been meeting weekly during the month of August to discuss proposals to submit to the President concerning the allocation of surplus Faculty-Student Association (FSA) money. The surplus is an accumulation of leftover monies from past orientation programs, vending machine revenues, and money that has no specific budgets allotted to it. The surplus fund has been reported to range between $20,000 and $80,000. Requests have been submitted in the amount of $114,075. The major item under consideration by the committee, followed by the amounts requested, are: renovation of the Science Amphitheatre for drama productions — $8,000; initiating a videotape program and purchasing related equipment — $4,000; new uniforms and equipment for athletic teams — $4,400; purchase of a pay copier for the Commons — $2,000; and purchase of a new control console for WCEB — $1,075.. Some of the more expensive projects include $25,000 for a bubble over the tennis courts; $20,000 for the initation of a varsity football team; $16,000 for 2 paddle tennis courts; and $10,000 for campus beautification. The items to be considered are subjected to four classifications — replacements, expansion of present programs; new programs; or improving existing services. When the items are classified, they are rated by the following criteria: impact on total student body; does it provide new opportunities; does the item have multiple benefits and uses; do the expenditures reflect current priorities; and will the item be needed in the future. The committee hopes to send its recommendations to be considered by Dr. Frederick no later than September 15. «or# So you say you're Vealv the only person in Gort. c the Garden of Eden, Adam ?.r Dont'ya get lonely?

Commons Committee is not a club, but, it is a student advisory board which not only advises the Director of the Commons, A1 Paparells, but also maintains the budget books for the day-to-day operations of the Commons. Membership is open to all interested students. Commons Committee offers more than just VTN. Indeed, its scope of services to students are many and are expanding with the opening of this year. A new service offered by the Committee is the formation of an information center in the lower Commons. The new center is located in Room 100 (the old Used Bookstore). The Committee hopes to open the center soon after school starts, reports Mary Ann Covey, Student Chairwoman. “The purpose,” states Mary Ann, “is to alleviate some of the traffic of people to the Activities Office” thereby leaving it open for other services. The center will provide information about campus and community events, handle the processing of student mail, and provide referrals to places for further information. Commons Committee also is responsible for the popular Coffeehouse Circuit, which provides daytime musical entertainment for the students. Concerts usually features local talent presenting folk or folk-rock types of music. The concerts are held in the Kelley Lounge in the lower Commons during the lunch hour and are open to all students free of charge. The Committee also offers mini-convocations from time to time. The convocations present interesting speakers from the community, other colleges, and other various areas and fields. These presentations most often are held in Room 210 in the Commons. Through some community involvement, the Committee also helps maintain good college-community relations. A recent involvement in the community has been an honorary membership in the Lions Club, A local organization. The members of Commons Committee have been involve in some of the Lions Club’s functions and hopes to continue this involvement as well as others. Not only does the Committee operate the information booth, but it also accepts and welcomes suggestions as well as complaints dealing with the Commons. These complaints or suggestions may be brought to the Commons Committee information center. Mary Ann assures that rapid action will be taken regarding any input. $ 1.50 ■CCC ID REQUIRED at the door the crier, vol. 14, tori II workshop TRUSTEES DELAY FM i O Z Start the Fall Semester by getting in touch with yourself and your “community” . . . reserve the weekend of September 21, 22, 23, for TORI II Workshop, one of four interpersonal growth workshops being offered on campus this year. It will be an opportunity for you to interrelate with persons from various backgrounds and careers — high school students, high school teachers, elementary teachers, business men and college professors from the Corning-Elmira area. Jack Gibb of La Jolla, California, a leader in the Human Potential movement and one of the founders of the National Training Institute in Bethel, Maryland, will be the facilitator. Initially the TORI experience was geared to reinforce the feelings of trust and openess utilizing the TORI components: trust (T), openess (0), realiaing one’s own potential (R), interdependence (I). Gibb explains: "TORI is a way of life. It is not a method or a technique. It is not therapy or a remedial experience. It is not sensitivity training. It is not education. Each community is a unique event, created by those of us who participate in it . . . each of us creates the community. Each person finds or creates a unique path.” If you are interested in “growing” with your “community”, you may register for the TORI II workshop in the Activities Of- fice. The cost is $15. It may be reduced when Student Government convenes for the Fall semester and makes a decision as to what allocation it will contribute from your Student Activities Fee for TORI II Weekend. In addition, a Forum will be held Tuesday, September 11, 1973, at 1 p.m. which you are invited to attend. At that time questions will be answered concerning TORI II and the cost of the weekend to CCC students announced. If you have further inquiries you may talk with A1 Paparelli, Director of Extra-Curricular Activities, or Ron Hofsess, Counselor/Minority Action Director. CCC TUITION UP At a meeting of the CCC Board of Trustees last Friday at the Baron Steuben Hotel, the board was presented with a form from the Federal Communications Commission committing the college to ownership of the college FM station. The Board, after some discussion voted not to approve the form on the basis of lack of information. According to Dr. Robert Frederick, Jr., president of the college, the board chose not to approve the ownership form because they felt they needed more information on programming, broadcaster training and general policy. The reason there was any delay was due to the fact that because the college must make statement of ownership it then becomes the responsibility for any and all things said or done while the FM station is on the air. continued pg 5 Enrollment down, tuition up, first days of class confusion, all problems students must cope one way or another this year, some insight into what the problems are and why we have them, the CRIER talk with Dr. Robert Frederick Jr., president of the college. During the interview the Dean of Student Services, Dave Frank, came in and helped us seek the answers. It is a known fact that enrollment for the fall semester is down over previous years but why and what ramifications does it have on the student body? First off, this drop in enrollment is not unique to CCC for it seems that it is a national trend as most colleges, both two and four year, are experiencing it. The reason for the drop in enrollment is thought to be the result of changes in the aspirations of students graduating from high schooLMany are coming to realize that college is not for everyone plus many high schools now are offering vocational training programs geared to ready the student for employment right after high school. Another reason stressed by Dr. Frederick is that “even though we are an open enrollment college . . . students are self selecting and the more marginal student is less apt to apply.” A direct affect of this is that the general academic TEA' ** And BsjUHkd ClnfimKr WILD GATS 81W.nJCH.K:ET quality of the freshman class is better than in previous years. Another major reason reason for the drop in enrollment is that many high school graduates opted for the military service rather than college. The enrollment picture is not all bad though, as part-time enrollment is projected to be up over previous years. Last year the number of students enrolling in part-time study was up by a much greater margin over the 71-72 academic year. This year the projection is that part-time enrollment will be about the same as last year. What the drop in enrollment means to the average student about campus is that student activities money goes down, which means that students have less to spend on activities. It is this premise that made students want the activities fee raised. Lower enrollment also means that the college must either raise tuition to provide the educational services now existing or cut back on these services. Therefore, in order to maintain academic standards and provide the same educational services athe college decided, not without student input, to raise tuition. According to Dr. Frederick however, this $55 raise is still much lower than the state norm and still far lower than the maximum tuition the college is allowed to charge, $650 per semester. Tuition here at Corning covers only 27 % of the operating costs, with the rest coming from state aid and money from the school district and from other counties sending students through a system of charge-backs. Also, contrary to popular rumor, the president stressed that tuition is not going up next semester. The College couldn’t raise it if it wanted to; it's against the law. Another problem facing students this year, at least the first two days of classes, is the two day orientation and the half-day classes are wasted time, in that they usually are short and very little instructing is done. So to avoid two wasted full days the Faculty Association composed of a committee of faculty and administrators and two voting students decided to commence school two days early with classes running twenty minutes. Monday - Wednesday - Friday classes were condensed into Monday afternoon and Tuesday-Thursday classes were con-dened into Tuesday afternoon. Also this school year was changed to provide 14 full weeks of instruction with 1 full week for exams, thus cutting out long weekends. Any vacation we have will be at least a week long. Enrollment and tuition then, are linking in fact so that if one declines, the other goes up. The president thus sums it up as a dilemma faced by most higher education systems and that no matter where you go, you’re apt to find it. HAROLD’S Has pants! pants! pants!

Pregnancy — it can’t happen to me. Let’s pretend we won’t do it, then the girl doesn't have to worry about pregnancy. If you think this kind of reasoning is not true among high high school and college girls (or boys) you’re wrong. It’s been shown that 80 %of those that become pregnant never used any contraceptive because of the guilt feelings associated with sexual activity itself but with the fact that one planned ahead to indulge in sexual intercourse. The need for acting as though sexual intercourse may not take place apparently is so great as to deny preparation for it. The final question to be asked is “Who are they trying to deceive and who is trying to live in a world of phoney make-believe? Nobody but themselves!

Preference in seating is given to students with ID cards. All convocations are held at 1:00 p.m. in the gymnasium. common hours Unchosen and unwanted Question: Is this a description of common reality? Answer: Yes, it is. It has been estimated that over 6 % of all college women become pregnant every year. And the number of high school girls is even higher, though there are no readily available estimates given. Question: Why is it that in this modern day and age the so-called “sexually progressive and aware youngsters” have to face the above described tragedy? Answer: To be sexually progressive and at the same time responsible for one’s actions are two different things. It seems that in the process of taking advantage of the “permissiveness” of our society, youngsters failed to learn the meaning of responsible sexuality. Kids think they are so smart about, but in my opinion a girl or boy has to be totally ignorant and very illogical to engage in intercourse without taking proper precautions to prevent pregnancy. There are a multitude of means and people available for youngsters who are mature and responsible enough to handle their sexuality, but it does take a certain amount of “courage” on the part of the youngsters to seek help. Question: Because youth today are supposedly more mature and better educated than their parents were as youngsters, does this mean they handle sex intelligently? TRUSTEES.... (continued from page 4) Normally this kind of policy is not followed by the college in re-lattion to student activities because it is student’s money that funds them. However, in the case of the radio station there are Federal regulations in-vovled, the president stated. In talking with Dave Game, general manager of WCEB, the CRIER found out that now, due to the board of trustees’ decision, the radio station would not be on the air until until early October instead of the original September 1 target date. In this time Broadcasting Club will prepare a full report to the board including all information needed for the board of trustees to approve the needed ownership form. TUNE IN SPZUW. SfuOENrorfCA1.

Many of you will notice that the Snack Bar has been replaced by a complete bank of the most modern, up-to-date vending machines. To meet the needs of the students, additional machines have been installed, such as Sandwich, Soup, Pastry, and two microwave ovens for your convenience so that you may have a hot meal. Upon request by the College, we have taken on this program to give those of you on campus a chance to avail yourselves of Food Service through Vending. The advantage of this service will now extend itself to the Evening Division when in the past this was not available. It’s purposes are far greater than what meets the eye. The College and Service Systems have devised this method and feel that we man accommodate many more students with a larger variety of our products. This does not, however, eliminate the Main Cafeteria where we will maintain and provide the same type of service as we have in the past, that being the addition of grill service which had been provided in our snack bar. We will continue to serve you to the best of our ability. I would like to take this opportunity to inform those of you who are involved customers that at the present time we are controlled by a price freeze set down by the Federal Government, but this is of a temporary nature and within the very near future prices will be increased in relation to our increased costs. In an effort to promote a better public understanding of the facts bearing upon food prices, we will try to maintain the best quality of services and food as possible. Corning will once again have innovation radio programming as WCEB-FM is slated to begin broadcasting on October 1. Operated by the College Communications Club, WCEB has been ganted a 10-watt non-commercial FM license to operate at 91.9 megahertz. The station is now in the process of obtaining final authorization from the F.F.C. in Washington, but is awaiting the approval of a form by the Board of Trustees. According to the General Manager, David W. Game, WCEB will operate 18 hours a day for this semester. It is scheduled to go on the air at 6:00 a.m. and broadcast until midnight. He also added that there is a possibility of expanding to a 24-hour operation during the second semester, if enough students cooperate. Unusual programming is the hallmark of the station. The program format which is now in the final stages includes combinations of hard rock, folk, blues, jazz, classical, and soft-mood music styles. Also planned are live and taped lectures, educational programs, mini-convocations, sports events, and special coverage of major college functions. The station operates from its new studios, constructed by club members, in Trailer Two. Students activities money and good management on the part of the Executive Board has provided an excellently equipped setup. The studios consist of a main control room, a separate news room and conference-discussion room, and an office for the General Manager. Game states that the station “will have an effective range of close to 8 or 10 miles and — favorable conditions.” This would make the station readily receivable in the Greater Corning area. “The major problem”, states the General Manager, “is people. We will need a staff of between 30 to 40 people to adequately program our station.” Game said that membership in Communications Club is open to all CCC students. To go on the air, the prospective broadcaster must submit to a training program which will enable him to obtain his third class radiotelephone license.

THE COMBINATION DRUGS According to a recent American Medical Association drug report, combinations of analgesics (pain relievers) are “irrational" and “not recommended." That means remedies like Excedrin. Empirin, and Vanquish. BUFFERED PREPARATIONS That same report could find "no sound basis" for taking remedies like Bufferin instead of plain aspirin. ASPIRIN AND CAFFEINE It also found simple aspirin plus caffeine, which is what Anacin is. does no more for your headache than plain aspirin. BAYER VS. BRAND X As for plain aspirin, there is no persuasive scientific evidence Bayer Aspirin is more effective at relieving headache than any other brand. It may differ from other brands but that doesn't mean it works better. SAVE ON HEADACHES The major brand remedies cost up to six times more than ordinary aspirin. Partly because you have to pay for the advertising that gets you to buy them. So next time you buy something for your head, use your head.. Buy the least expensive plain aspirin you can find.

Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief and Dave Game, Managing Editor Prepared by The Stern Concern FEATURE STORY: INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION The human race has been around for a million years. Nature engineered us very carefully so we wouldn't interfere with the balance of life. You breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. You give off solid and liquid wastes. Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. They take in minerals and nitrogen from animal and human waste. They use sunlight to turn these things into food, and they grow. Animals eat the plants, then humans eat the animals and plants as well. After we die, our bodies decompose, and become food for the plants. The cycle is closed. Nothing is wasted. Pollution interferes with this natural cycle of life, a cycle which depends on air, land and water. Pollutionjs smoke and oil slicks, junks cars and weed-killers. Pollution pours out of smokestacks, exhaust pipes, culverts and dump trucks. Cars and industries both do a good job of poisoning the air. Water is even more a victim of the factory. Industry uses and pollutes almost two-thirds of our water supply, and agribusiness accounts for most of the rest. People themselves use less than one seventh of all the water consumed in North America. Sewage, the waste that humans put into the water, can be removed. The oil, acid, ammonia, dissolved metal and pesticides from industry and agribusiness in most cases can not be removed. It’s the same story with land pollution (garbage). Industrial and commercial waste makes up 60 %of the hundreds of millions of tons of garbage discarded annually. The other 40 % comes from “people”. But look closely and you find that much unavoidable people garbage — discarded food, paper and the like—breaks down and can be recycled. The problem comes from all the “convenience” packages. Those no-deposit, no-return cans and bottles are hard to get rid of. They pile up on the scrap heaps—over 100 billion a year— and actually cost us a lot of money in taxes that go towards disposal, a tab the manufacturer never mentions. That’s one reason they started making non-returnable containers in the first place—to pass the bill for getting rid of them on to the consumer. Pollution is not a people problem. If it was, countries like India, which have many more people in a smaller area, would be dying from pollution. It is the industrial countries of the world that are polluted, and among them, none compares with the United States. The United States has the world’s largest Gross National Product (GNP). That means that the U.S. produces more than any other country in the world. And every year, the GNPgets bigger. Twenty percent of the U.S. industrial GNP is devoured by military production. Most of these war products—planes, missiles, ABM systems, submarines— ae enormously expensive and are never used. They sit around for a few years and become “obsolete.” Then new models are produced to replace them. The military goods that are used are either dropped in the jungle of Southeast Asia and Latin America, or are sold to dictators and other buyers around the world. Big corporations have made billions of dollars in profits from military production. For the rest of us, the cost has been enormous. It goes far beyond the 70 cents out of each tax dollar we pay that goes for war or war-related uses. The industries of war — oil, steel, Jjhemicals, plastics — are the dirtiest of all and military productions accounts for over one-fifth of their output. Think of all the acid and smoke added to our rivers and air while steel is made for missiles, submarines and bombers. How much of the poisonous chemicals that we drink and the deadly gases that we originated in the manufacture of military hardware? Still, most of what North America makes is for the consumer, not the Army. We spend thousands of dollars on cars, refrigerators, TV sets, stoves and washing machines $1 off ANY TOP OR JEANS-CORNING STORE 26 W. MARKET SEPT. 10-12 people> place that can be made (labor included) for a fraction of their prices. And then, while we’re working overtime to keep up with our payments, the thing breaks down. Technologically, there’s no reason why refrigerators should not run for a lifetime, and light bulbs burn for years. The knowhow exists, but the companies know that durable goods compete with fast profits. So they design their products to break down quickly. Economists call this “planned obsolescence." We call it waste. Planned obsolescence is combined with advertising. Corporations spend billions of dollars on advertising, tacking the cost onto the price-tag, to convince you to buy new things, often things we don’t need. This too we call waste. They back the politicians and newspapers that push for expensive new defense systems, which collect dust for a few years and are replaced. What else should we call it but waste? Look at all the metal objects which surround you and consider how many of them you really need. While you do this, keep in mind that 650,000 gallons of water are ruined making one ton of steel. 130 million tons are produced each year. It’s part of the cost — your cost — that companies don’t tell you about. Thumb through the daily paper and notice all the advertising pages. You pay for these ads. Not only do the companies tack the cost onto the price-tag, but 240,000 gallons of water and dozens of trees go into making one ton of newspaper. 61 °/bof all newspaper space goes for ads consuming well over 5 million tons of paper each year. That’s your cost also. There are other, less obvious ways in which we pay. Inflation has crippled most of us. On top of inflation, many of us are deeply in debt. American consumers are over 98 billion dollars in the hole. That works out to over 2,000 dollars per family. And the final price we pay for all the possessions and “convenience” they sell us runs a lot higher. Billions and billions of dollars worth of goods America produces every year exact a fearsome ecological toll. Our cities are crowded, smelly and ugly. There's less open land each year. Our health is deteriorating; more people are getting degenerative diseases— which means their bodies virtually rot — at younger ages. Even life expectancy is decreasing. Our jobs are boring. We work harder and harder to pay our bills and end up making other people rich. In the last 5 years big corporations have grown 31 percent. The same people and corporations that run our economy, and profit by it, insist that no other way of doing things is as good as what we have now. And they back up these claims with force when people argue with them too strongly. And yet, the same men are now carrying the banners for America’s new ecology crusade. Politicians talk tough and make promises. Government officials slip money and supplies to “responsible” students who demonstrate for ecology. Businessmen give financial support to college professors and conservation clubs and put aside a small fraction of their budgets as a token gesture to “ecology.” But the word they spread is a lie. If lies work better than force to keep people confused, to keep them from attacking their system, then lie they will. Ecology is the watchword of the day. The wolves pose as shepherds. The pollution of North America is not an accident. It is not a technological oversight, nor is it the fault of people, or caused by too many people. It will not be cured by a few fancy gadgets or inventions. Pollution comes from waste-producing too much, producing too sloppily and wasting what has been produced. There will be pollution as long as things are made for profit and not because people need them. There will be pollution until we consider all the costs of making something-including the cost to the environment.

With the opening of the Fall Semester, the wheels begin to grind. Of no exception is the Athletic Department at CCC, one of the best in the state. Following is a brief synopsis of what there is to come this year, (information courtesy of the Handbook Calendar). Golf will start its ninth season this fall. Much freshmen talent is expected to complement the returning sophomores in providing a successful 1973 season. Acting as coach this year is Jerry Galloway. Tennis is fast becoming a popular inter-collegiate sport at Corning. It is expected that the freshmen will form a strong nucleus for this year’s team. The nucleus for this year’s team. Tennis will be a fall spring sport at Corning for ’73-’74. The tennis coach will be announced at a future date. Men’s basketball is one of two main spectator sports at Corning. Beginning in November, the Barons play many two-year and some freshmen four-year teams. We are looking forward to our tenth season on campus this year. Last year the Red Barons had a 16-13 win-loss record. The hopes of this year’s team will rest with a strong sophomore nuclues and new freshman talent. The basketball coach this year is an old veteran, Wayne Kenner. The Women’s Varsity Intercollegiate Basketball team was founded in 1973. During its first season of competition the women of CCC left no doubt of their promise as a major contender for the New York State title in 1974. It is hped that many freshmen women will join the nucleus of sophomore players this year. Women’s basketball is coached this year by Lola Lee Mitchell. Wrestling has been the most successful inter collegiate sport at Corning. Last year the team boasted an outstanding season. Last year’s grapplers compiled a 14-2 dual meet record and placed second as a team in the N.J.C.A.A. Region III Tournament. The final N.J.C.A.A. WRESTLING POLL SHOWED THE Garons ranked 11th nationally. Our wrestling coach has to be one of the best, John Polo.

The Women’s and Men’s Inter-collegiate Bowling team were formed in 1973 with much success. The teams placed fourth or better in every tournament entered. The highlight of the year was the Third Place showing of the team in the Region III N.J.C.A.A.* Tournament. Beverly Beebe coaches bowling this year. The Women’s Volleyball team began in 1973 with a very successful season, competing with two-year and four-year colleges on an inter-collegiate basis. It is anticipated that the 1973-74 team comprised of sophomore and freshmen ability, coached by Mary Gail Lee, will provide much excitement for Corning spectators. On only their fourth season as a varsity team, the Corning Lacrosse stickmen achieved a fine 8-3 record and were ranked fourth nationally among the N.J.C.A.A. teams. The Red Barons were Region III champs in 1973. The returning team members and coach are looking forward to an even greater season this year. A 12-game schedule is planned for this year, states Lacrosse coach, Paul Thomas. Last year’s Intramural program was a great success with 750 women and men students participating. We are looking forward to an even greater program this year. You are all invited to take part in the following offerings: flag football, cross-country, wrestling, basketball, bowling, badminton, archery, golf, tennis, softball, co-ed volleyball, foul shooting, table tennis, weight lifting, and horseheads. According to Dutch Craumer, awards will be presented to the winners in each of these activities. We are particularly pleased to offer a recreation program to all students. The gymnasium is open to all students for recreation use during non-classroom hours, evenings, and weekends. A monthly schedule is published and available in the Commons or from the recreation office in the gym. Activities which may be enjoyed include: table tennis, weight training, shuffleboard, badminton, tennis, basketball. The director of recreation will be named later this semester. What is needed is student involvement in athletics this year, as there are never enough students involving themselves in athletics. It is hoped, then, that the athletics program will be one of the best ever, states John Polo, acting director of athletics.
