DRUG LAW CENTERFOLD INFORMATION AT A GLANCE MODULAR COURSE OFFERED At a recent meeting of the Communications division it was announced that a course in communication will be offered to students next semester. The course covers three media: film, journalism, and TV. The objectives of the course will be to “explore not only the intellectual and aesthetic dimensions of the media but also career availability and skills within the media itself.” The course will be offered in modules, each carrying one credit. Each section (film, journalism, or TV) will consist of three modules lasting five weeks apiece. “Students will be given the choice of taking one to three basic modules or focus exclusively upon one media; thus they will be able to move ‘vertically’ or ‘horizontally’ within the framework of the three modules.” Included in the course will be independent study modules which “can include in-depth study and research or participation in supervised activities, such as writing for the CRIER or developing a student film or TV tape.” FILM MODULE In the film module, it is expected that “students will deepen their understanding and pleasure of films and will want to know more about the art of cinema.” Six or seven films will be shown during the module. From these films students are expected to distinguish the characteristics of the following types of films: documentary, underground or experimental films, genre films, and literary dance Modern Dance as an activity course for PE requirement will be starting October 23rd. Maybe you’ve never taken a dance course before. So what? Want to know what you’re getting into? Well, here you are, in a fair sized room exploring the space around you and the space that you occupy. You’ll be getting plenty of exercise too. Even if you don’t think you are creative, you can begin to understand what the creative process is all about. What is a composition? How do you compose? (Did I mention that you’d be getting a lot of exercise)? Is music necessary in order for dance to take place? What do we mean when we say music? A phonograph record? A dog barking? A faucet dripping? Silence? If you want some answers, some fun and some exercise, sign up for dance (PE 119) by October 15th. Please note that we have a new dance instructor here at CCC this year. She is interested in all forms of dance. Presently she is operating Dance Club which meets Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. All interested people are welcome! This semester “The Two-Bit Players” tentatively plan to do two one-act plays: “Riders to the Sea,” and Captain Andy’s play, “Ladies’ Man, Part II.” These will be put on in November. Then, in December they will put on “Sticks and Bones.” The “Players” are planning a theater trip to New York City in October. Those interested in trying out for a part should see Mike Gilmartin, C-202D, by September 28. films. Also during the module students will keep a journal of their “filmic experiences.” A short paper will be required. TV MODULE “The student will examine TV as a medium, particularly as to the various types of programming offered: drama, special events, news and talk shows.” The student “will learn to analyze and evaluate what he is viewing by means of discussions, classroom lab experiences, and personal student surveys, both through taped TV programs, as well as outside viewing on his own.” The student is expected to learn the difference between news reporting, commentary, and analysis. Also stressed in this module is the evaluation of TV news coverage in relation to objectivity or subjectivity, quality of news sources and knowledge of newsmen. Students will also learn the basics of the use of a TV camera, recorder and microphone through projects of their own. The projects will be short TV segments, a news or celebrity interview and an original sequence. A short paper is also required for this course. JOURNALISM Basically this course teaches the student how a good news story is written; however, students will also “achieve a working knowledge of the peculiarities of news writing as opposed to writing of other kinds.” It is anticipated that “students will learn something of the basic organization and operation methods of a newspaper. They also will be introduced to some of the problems associated with a newspaper operation.” “The course also will attempt to provide a very broad overview of the other aspects of journalism; such as interpretive journalism, the press and the law, news media and public relations, and crime reporting.” One of the journalism modules will include work on the CRIER. It is hoped that those students working on the CRIER will receive transferable college credit for their work. Prerequisites for thecourseare completion of English 104 or 105 or consent of the instructor. The course will be an English/Human-ities elective. The actual listing of the course is pending approval by the Curriculum Committee. 'AUTOMAT’ We have a new look in the “Pub” this year. No longer do we have the “snack bar.” CCC has gone completely automated. You can now walk into the “Pub,” deposit your coins, and receive anything from “soup” to “nuts.” A microwave oven enables you to heat your hamburger, hot dog, or pizza for no extra charge. You can now patronize this tunnel of goodies anytime of the day or evening. All things being equal, the law of averages says that a vending machine will goof up occasionally. So, you trot up to Linda Spaccio for your “refund.” Should a machine in other buildings fail to reward you with your choice, see Mrs. Savercool, 3rd floor Nursing Building, the MPT secretary, 1st floor Science Building, and Gloria Birdsall, Continuing Education office, for machines in the Classroom Building as well as for after 5 p.m. classes. _______pages 4 & 5__________ September 28, 1973 the cpiep volume 14, number 3 corning community college REGISTRATIONS CONTINUE Registrations are continuing in the Community Service Program at Corning Community College, Nancy B.

Donald Creath, Assistant Professor of Management at Corning will in- legalize marijuana by Sam Smith Next Wednesday (Oct. 2) the organization meeting of the local Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws will be held in the Small Lounge during the free hour. The purpose of this meeting is to identify those who believe that there is no moral, legal, or medical reason to imprison a person for the use or possession of marijuana, and centralize the actions of these people to create a more forceful and socially meaningful movement. So if you believe that there is no social benefit in the arrest and prosecution of marijuana users, then the time to join together is now. The American Bar Association and the District Attorney’s Association have recommended the “drug’s” legalization. Marijuana is no longer illegal for personal consumption in Berkley, California and in the State of Oregon. The time for action is now; be there Wed. at 1. struct. Cost for the session is $60, and will run through November 20. New home owners and those wishing to make their present home more attractive will be interested in the course being coordinated by the Chemung County Extension Service. Edward Zuchorski will present a series entitled, “Creating a Quality Environment Around Your Home,” Tuesday evening from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m., beginning September 25. The course will involve basic landscaping techniques with discussions of soil, vegetation, needs and goals of the family relative to the landscape. Registrations for both are handled through the Division of Continuing Education and Community Services at Corning Community College. Complete information is also available. the crier September 28, 1973 page CN PERSPECTIVE by Tom Beiswenger, Editor in Chief Get Tough Drug Laws: A Better Answer It’s been passed, the new “get-tough” druglawis now a reality regardless of how we feel on the issue. New York now “basks in glory” at having the toughest drug law in the United States. The new law covers everything from hard drugs to marijuana with penalties ranging from life to one year imprisonment. The state makes no bones about it, they mean business and have geared themselves for the battle. In preparing to do battle, the state spent much time, effort and money, and it is estimated that the new law will cost the taxpayers an extra $70 million. More judges have been hired, prison facilities are being increased and treatment programs are being expanded. The drug law seeks to put an end to a problem which has pronounced itself in the past few years. Granted, drug abuse is an extremeiy perplexing situation facing our society today, but a “get tough” policy is clearly not the answer to our woes. Clearly, we have proven that incarceration for wrongs against society does not provide a solution to our problems. It is a fact that most of those released from prison, whether on parole or after completion of the assigned sentence, return to prison for other offenses. Certainly, this is not rehabilitation. What is needed is treatment, not punitive action. In a state where the percentage of returning ex-cons is the hignest, it would seem that our legislature and governor has acted blindly. This law was doomed to failure before it even took effect. It is plain to see that our lawmakers are concerned but this does not justify irrational action. The new law, as it stands, is irrational action, especially in the face of facts as they are. We have also seen distinctly that treatment has not proven itself effective, but many hold the conviction that more many and better facilities are what is needed. True, the state did increase the budget for treatment of drug addicted persons, but the amount being spent to effect this new law far outweighs the token amount being spent on treatment. The new drug law literally encompasses virtually all the dangerous drugs available. This is good, for we do need a comprehensive drug law but instead of prescribing punitive action for the crimes it would be better to commit the offender to treatment in the elimination of the drug problem, but it would also help those enslaved by drugs get rid of their problem through positive action. There is an argument existing now that the pusher should be dealt with most severely. This point of view, for the most part, is wrong because of the fact that most pushers are addicts themselves and only sell drugs or commit violent crimes as a result of the addiction. This person is dependent, physically or psychologically, on the drug and must do whatever he or she can to support the habit. No “get tough” drug law will work in this situation. The addicted pusher should then, receive treatment just as the addict does. The non-addieted pusher, on the other hand, who uses the drug scene as a market for his or her wares is, in essence, a murderer and should be dealt with accordingly. This animal, in turning his or her victims on to drugs, has ruined an often productive era of these people’s lives. Unfortunately, these are relatively inaccessable and it is their pawns, the addicted pushers, who bear the brunt of the law. What we need then, is a comprehensive drug law with the emphasis going to treatment and not to punishment. Our lawmakers have clearly acted blindly in the face of facts which unequivocally show that punishment is not the way to solve the problem. Hopefully, before the damage is done, those in power will see the error in their ways and act more positively to the dilemma of drug abuse. Planners Announce Parents’ Day Program It was announced by the Activities Office that Parents’ Day and Open House will be combined this year. The tentative date for the program is October 28 from 2p.m. to 6 p.m. Nancy Andrews, one of the faculty planners, expressed a hope that combining the two programs will get more people involved. The program is for parents of both freshmen and sophomores, as well as the public. The schedule is as follows: 2:00 Welcome and open- ing remarks. 2:15-4:15 Group discussion Topics for the group discussion will be divided into three categories: “The Student in the Class- room,’ ‘The Student Out of the Classroom,” and “What Happens to My Kid.” Included in “The Student in the Classroom” will be Career, Transfer, and Exploratory programs. Included in the “The Student Out of the Classroom” might be: Financial Aid, Activities, Health Services, and Transfer and Placement. Of major interest to most parents probably is the section on “What Happens to My Kid.” Topics under this section include such items of interest as what happens during college, after college or instead of college. 4:15-5:15 Open House with displays in the Large Lounge in the Commons. The program will close with refreshments in the main dining room in the Commons. (3&&QS MM by David W. Game, Managing Editor Put An&ihe/i flickel What is the true story behind the replacement of the Snack Bar with the banks of automated bandits called “vending machines?” Installed by the College’s contracted food supplier, Service Systems, of Buffalo, these modern-day chefs dispense almost any type of snack or meal imaginable; while sometimes they will unblinkingly accept your money and conveniently “forget” to deliver the goods, causing anger to creep into the hearts of all soaffected, including, at times, this editor. The Student Life Committee, in April and May, was charged with investigating alternatives to the Snack Bar set up that was being operated by Food Services manager Don Fronapel. Cited as reasons for seeking the alternatives were rising labor costs, requested raises in prices, and the increasing number of student complaints concerning the quality of food offered. After considering the alternatives presented, the Committee decided to recommend to the President that the Snack Bar service be curtailed and a new vending machine program be instituted. This, in their opinion, would best serve the needs of the student at a lower cost. Bullshit! Any student on campus could tell you how they felt about their glass-faced friends -- and their reaction would not, in all realm of probability, agree with the official opinion. The average student is now paying 50 cents for a salami sandwich, at least five hours old, with no butter or mayonnaise (and none available), and which has salami so paper thin so as not to be recognized. Or, consider the case of the 40 cent “beef patty” which is not a hamburger, but a mix of beef and fillers. Downgraded quality, exactly what Student Life was trying to abolish. In addition to the food, there is the matter of the lack of it. Some of the machines have a cute little trick, in which the end result is a broke (and hungry) student. Personally, I feel the vending machines are not a bad idea, but I qualify my position with a few “ifs:” if the machines were stocked before the girl left at 2 p.m.; if the machines were filled with real hamburgers, and halfway decent sandwiches at a lower price; and if there was some provision made for refunds after 2 p.m. weekdays and on weekends. If not, I’m afraid that someone is going to take a potshot at the cold food machine: losing 70 cents at a time gets to be pretty annoying. Recently a petition was circulated asking for the removal of the machines. I am told that I was the only one to sign in favor of keeping the bandits. This is because I often work late in the Commons, and supper often flows from their slots. This is not to say that I am satisfied with the service as it stands now; on the contrary, I am not happy at all. But I feel that, in the long run, vending will serve the needs of CCC if, and only if, the problems aforementioned are resolved.

Most of these people are happy just to be talked with by someone who will listen and try to explain the College’s views. Recently a very sweet-spoken lady called about the speed and noise on Chemung Street, and I promised her after talking with her quite a while, that I would make an appeal through THE CRIER for our students to have a bit more consideration for the folks who live in the homes along that street. Her note to me reminds me to remind you that “noise affects the nervous system” -- yours as well as hers. She also wonders if you all have had your exhausts checked lately -- “remember that deadly poisons are spread this way.” She requests your cooperation in reducing the noise level, including the noise of excessive speed, and in “improving our environment.” Helen Williams, Director Student Gov t. Re-Evaluation by Wilf Kalbach Student Government last year decided on issues of real consequence to students. Decisions about where the $100,000 budget from activity fees wouldgo, for instance. Representatives sat on faculty committees that deliberated the college calendar, educational issues involving racism, and whether Phys. Ed. should be an elective or required. Other issues included the establishment of an Athletic Board, whether or not to have an FM Radio station, and the sponsorship of educational and social trips by special interest groups. The College President’s cabinet includes a representative from Student Government. This is obviously a very high-level policymaking organ in which decisions like the college budget preparation and establishment of institu- tional priorities are decided. The representative is also in attendance at meetings of the board of Trustees. Due to lack of student involvement, students were poorly represented in these important decisions. Student Government has decided to take the first part of this semester to re-evaluate role Student Government can and should play. A workshop will be held on Thursday, Sept. 27, from 12:15 to 2:00 p.m. in the small lounge of the Commons. Students who desire to see Student Government a viable institution on campus and are serious about assessing their own interests are urged to attend. Lunch will be provided for participants. It is an excellent chance for some constructive direction planning and involvement. Achievement Motivation Taking Applications Now Two sections of Achievement Motivation will be held this fall providing students with another opportunity for personal growth. Achievement Motivation, through exercises in competition, value clarification, etc., helps students know themselves more fully and understand interaction with others. Based on comparison of the students’ goals with those of high achievers, the course aids inplanning action strategy suitable to the individual’s needs. Three hours of credit is given for the course, held the two consecutive weekends of October 19, 20, 21; and 26, 27, 28. Students must attend both weekends. Procedure for enrollment is to bring a drop-add slip signed by your advisor to Mrs. Carole Savercool, secretary for the Social Science Division, located on the third floor of the Nursing Building. Any student is eligible, but Freshmen are especially encouraged to enroll. Dale White, instructor, explained that most sophomores who take the course say they wish they had had it while Freshmen. There is no extra charge for the course providing it does not take your hours over the 19 hour limit. According to Bayer’s little blue book, the makers of Bayer don’t make any sense. Lately, Bayer Aspirin's advertising has featured a blue book that contains some of the findings of a recent American Medical Association drug evaluation. Bayer's blue book reports there is "no sound basis" for taking combination pain relievers or buffered preparations instead of plain aspirin. The obvious implication here is that remedies like Cope (a combination of aspirin, caffeine, a buffer and an antihistamine) and Vanquish la combination of pain relievers) don t make sense. Why then, you might ask, do the makers of Bayer also make Cope and Vanquish. If you d like to know, write the president of Sterling Drug. You'll find his address in your medicine chest. Medical Committee for Human Rights 710 South Marshfield Chicago. Illinois 60612 Humanities Slates Mexican Trip The Humanities Division of Corning Community College is again offering a student tour in the month of January, 1974. At present, the plans are to tour various areas in Mexico. The tour will last approximately two weeks, from the third of January until January 18. It is planned to leave Corning by bus on the 3rd to catch the Eastern Airlines flight to Mexico City. Jan. 3 thru Jan. 10 will find the group at the Hotel Monte Cassino in Mexico City. On the tenth, they will move to Acapulco, where they will stay at the Hotel Casa Blanca until the 17th. The group is scheduled to return on the 18th. The cost of the tour, according to Dr. Robert GuiffRIDA, principal organizer of the junket, is $375.00, which includes all rooms, transportation, tips, and related items. The traveler is expected to pay for the cost of all meals, entertainment, souvenirs, and excursions. The traveler will need either an origional birth certificate, passport, or Voter Registration Card as proof of citizenship. The latter is recommended. For more information concerning this lavish vacation, please contact Dr. Guiffrida in his office, N319, or by calling 962-9(202).

HOLDING THE BAG. )rug Abuse Program. the crier September 28, 1973 page 5 Starting September 1st, the tough* Newark State. Read the facts to * WHY DID WE MAKE THIS LAW IN THE FIRST PLACE? To deter people from the unlawful sale or possession of illegal drugs and to rehabilitate those people who are, or are in imminent danger of becoming, dependent on these drugs. Also, to make it tough for the addicts, the junkies, the pushers to infect others. And to give them a chance to end their addiction. To stop the mugging and the crime which is a tragic by-product of drug abuse. To make the streets safe for you and your family. WHAT THE DRUG LAWS COVER. The drug laws make it unlawful for anyone to sell or possess certain drugs (except as expressly allowed by law). The specific drugs are defined by law as "Controlled Substances." (See the chart.) The laws and penalties apply to people who unlawfully sell or possess controlled substances, whether the people be drug-dependent persons (including narcotic addicts) or non-addict sellers. (As shown in the chart the only distinction exists according to amount.) The new drug laws are: Public Health Law: Article 33; Mental Hygiene Law: Article 81; Penal Law: Article 220. WHAT CAN HAPPEN? The drug laws provide a schedule of crimes (classes of felonies and misdemeanors) and related penalties. The chart on this page shows these crimes and penalties. WHO'S AFFECTED? These laws apply to anyone in New York State. (Drug offenders under 16 are subject to Juvenile Delinquent provisions in the Family Court Act, instead of criminal prosecution under the Penal Law.) WHO'S NOT AFFECTED? As long as you have a legal prescription issued by a physician or practitioner for these drugs and keep them in the original prescrip- tion container, you won't be affected by the law. Remember: It isn't a legal prescription if "you fooled the doctor." And you cannot give these drugs, legally prescribed for you to another person for whom they are not intended. WHAT DRUGS ARE INVOLVED? Narcotics are not the only drugs involved. Barbiturates, amphetamines, hallucinogens and other drugs are included in this law too. (See the chart on this page.) HOW ARE THE CRIMES AND PENALTIES DETERMINED? Each crime and its penalty is determined by specific amounts for each drug. (See chart.) WHAT ABOUT MARIJUANA? Unlawful sale of any amount of marijuana is a Class C felony. Unlawful possession is a Class C or Class D felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the quantity involved. Probation is available for nearly all first marijuana offenses. Under certain conditions in criminal prosecution, if the only charge is one of misdemeanor possession or of loitering (first degree), and where the only substance is marijuana, the court can order adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, not to exceed 12 months. If the individual complies with the terms set by the court, the charge will be automatically dismissed at the end of this time. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE NEW AND OLD DRUG LAWS. These general changes have been made: The schedule of felonies and penalties has been increased; the penalties are stricter; the quantities of drugs set for felony crimes are considerably smaller. Also: Stricter penalties for second felony offenders generally; plea bargaining has been limited (there are no restrictions on plea bargaining under the old laws). Several new crimes related to conspiracy to commit an A felony (B felony), bribery with respect to an A felony (B felony), and unlawfully giving or receiving a reward (C felony) have been added. THE STATE MEANS BUSINESS. The State has developed a comprehensive program to enforce the new drug law. It is adding up to 100 extra judicial parts—facilities and personnel to conduct trials. Detention and prison facilities are also being expanded. So it means business. THERE IS HELP. Besides enforcing the law, the State is spending money for drug abuse treatment. Programs are being increased to accommodate 65,000 drug-dependent people, including narcotic addicts. A drug-dependent person or narcotic addict can enter a State or a private program. 1. For the State program (before September 1, 1973) he must first be civilly committed under the law. (after a medical exam to certify his drug dependence). After September 1st, he can request and receive immediate treatment up to 7 days while the procedure of civil commitment continues. 2. For the private program, he may enter any time and start treatment. If you know people who are, or are in danger of becoming, dependent on the drugs named in the new law, tell them about the new law. Encourage them to enter a treatment program. A treatment program is available 24 hours a day. All you have to do is call. For treatment information call 246-9300 in New York City. Anywhere else in New York State call (800) 522-2193. For more information on the law write: DRUGS, BOX 8200, ALBANY, N.Y. 12203.

When I was a kid I always used to pay attention to things that other people didn’t even think about.

Notable activities in the planning include a trip to Greece by the International Club. They have planned parties, raffles, car washes, and other events to raise part of the estimated $9,500 needed. The Scuba Club plans to have an exciting year including a possible trip to Florida over the Christmas break, and various films and guest speakers in the weekly meetings. The Broadcasting Club, along with getting WCEB-FM on the air, is instituting a program of broad- caster training. The course is open to any interested students, with or without experience. Students who complete it will receive government licensing, (3rd class), and are guaranteed all the experience they want, says Dave Game, President. Raffles and bake sales are immediate money-making projects of the Nursing Club. They would like to travel to Washington, D.C., and view acupuncture in operation; the trip is open to all students. If you don’t see your interest represented in the above list, come to the ICC Trailer behind the Commons. There are bound to be other students who share your interest, if you make it known. A $100 budget is available from ICC for all clubs, old and new, at the beginning of each year. Used Book Store Open Again At last the Used Bookstore is open and in full operation. It is located in the old Corona office in the Commons. Due to difficulties, it has not been open when many of the students came down. From now on it will be open daily until October 5. It is run under the direction of student Terry Maloney. There are others who are helping him--Doris Myers, and Melanie Nowicki. Someone will be there to help students find books they may want to buy. There are books on varying topics, such as English, history, psychology, languages, business, police science, and an assortment of miscellaneous books. We want to expand our selection, but need your co-operation. If any student has any books to sell, just bring them down and we will sell them for you. Unfortunately, we cannot buy them for you. You gain in the long run because we only take ten percent off to put toward student scholarships. Cash is the only way of payment accepted because we are unable to cash checks, due to our services. Students’ books are sold and the money is kept here until your receipt is presented. This is to assure you that you have not been “ripped off. ” We cannot make exceptions in any case. Since books are not reserved, it is a first come-first serve basis. If for any reasons you are not able to pick up the books you brought in by our October §th deadline, feel free to contact us somehow; and we will make arrangements for you to pick them up. If any books you have not picked up are here after October 5, they automatically become the property of the CCC Used Bookstore. The hours we are open will be posted on the door outside the Used Bookstore, so drop down sometime and maybe we can help you with a book you have been looking for but cannot find. We are here for your convenience. (fattiKueA tyieaUvitcf Coming Community College has a student body with very varied high school backgrounds and abilities. The College is dedicated to providing quality education for its diverse student population. Also, C.C.C. recognizes that its professional staff -- teachers and counselors — must have specialized training to increase its ability to employ learning processes designed to meet the individual student’s “learning style.” And what is meant by “learning style”? Some people learn better through independent study -- reading and understanding mostly through books and mostly on their own (with guidance concerning what books to read to accomplish what end); some people learn better by using more than one of their senses -- seeing and hearing, with a chance for repetition -- audiotutorial; some learn better in small groups -- seminars; some need another individual (a tutor) to help them learn. Such differentiation in learning is called “Cognitive Style.” A recent grant from the New York State Education Department will enable C.C.C. to carry out its plans for quality education and to train professors and counselors to implement a variety of learning styles in their courses. This grant under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, Title 3 (ESEA HI) was recently announced by Dr. Nancy A. Hoddick, Associate in Higher Education Guidance of the State Education Department, Albany. The project to be carried out under this grant will follow the Educational Sciences System developed by Dr. Joseph Hill of Oakland Community College, Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Anne Cohn, project originator and director, and counselor at C.C.C., expresses the goals as, “the development of courses which offer a variety of ways to learn the material and diagnosis of student-preferred styles of learning in order to increase academic achievement in courses.” The fall semester work will include: (1) course development by a core of faculty and counselors at C.C.C. and 2) training in Cognitive Style of C.C.C. personnel and teachers and counselors from other area educational institutions. This training will be offered by Dr. Hill and his team from Oak- land. During the spring semester an experimental group of students will participate in a pilot program using the courses which have been developed according to the Cognitive Style theory. Evaluation procedures will be conducted by Dr. Gunars Reimanis, director of educational research. Sparking the faculty participation in the project are Professor William Dolan, Chairman of Communications Division, and Mrs. Jean Abel, Associate Professor of Mathematics. Other faculty will be involved as the year progress- es. SPECIAL STUDENT OFFER Bring this Coupon in and we’ll give you a 10 percent discount on any casual slack in our stock.

I think what people like most about my stories is that they can identify. I had a man once stop me and say, “Hey, you know that story you tell about street football and you’d cut behind a car? Well ... I used to do the same thing in the country, but I used a cow!” The situations I talk about, (Continued on Page 8) Yets’ Club formation, contacts and facilities not otherwise available.

I found I could make people laugh, and I enjoyed doing it because it gave me a sense of security. I thought that if people laughed at what you said, that meant they liked you. Telling funny stories became, for me, a way of making friends. My comedy routines come from this story-telling nack. . .1 never tell jokes. I don’t think I could write an out-and-out joke if my life depended on it. Practically all Try Selection of appropriate extracurricular activities is one of the most important problems facing all students in college. One must beware of joining too many organizations; however, some participation is necessary to insure fulfillment of the overall goal of education to the benefit of both the college and the student body. With this necessary perspective, the Veterans’ Club of Corning Community College would like to introduce itself to new students on campus and welcome back returning students by answering some questions about the organization. The Vets’ Club is an organization composed of active members, who have served in the various branches of the armed services, and associate members, both men and women, who have no military background. The Vets’ Club offers both social fulfillment and constructive participation in campus and community affairs. Recently, we sponsored the first keg party of the year at the Commons. This was, without a doubt, a smashing success and precursor of many excellent parties in the future. On October 5, 6, and 7 the club is sponsoring a trip to the internationally famous Grand Prix at Watkins Glen, and other such trips are in the planning stage. Intercollegiate coordination with many colleges makes available to members a broad spectrum of in- In another vein, the Vets’ Club is formulating plans to have speakers from the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Veterans’ Administration, and other groups of both special and general interest at meetings to introduce the students to rights and benefits available to them. Members of the club are active in many other campus organizations, and it has been proposed that the Vets’ Club sponsor a blood drive as a community project in the near future. Look around you as you go about the campus; stop in at the Vets Office in the Commons between classes and find out more about the organization. It is designed around the student and programmed to provide maximum benefits for all members. We welcome participation and fresh ideas on how the organization can best serve the student, the college, and the community. When you make that necessary selection of an extracurricular activity, remember: no matter what your interests, the Vets’ Club can provide the experience you need for a complete future at C.C.C.

He will combat these forces by the likes of returning stars such as Doug Hover, Mark Warden, Marvin Donnelly, Floyd Dean and new players such as Carl Mayers, Brian Anderson, Bruce Barney, Micheal Rutzky, John Stacey, Peter Hain, Gary Grace, Steve Colunio, Pete Mannix. Mike Ulteir, and Jim Deiry. “Rookie” Barton looks forward to a great season this year and good output from his players. wasn’t another Jam. This happening was a sanctioned Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) regional car race. Practice and qualifying races were on Saturday and the actual races on Sunday. Two of C.C.C.’s own were not only present, but were driving in the race. Bob Dugo was driving his new car, a formula Super Vee, and Henry Bennett was driving his new car, a formula vee. Both cars are among the fastest built. This was an amateur race which involves no money, just guts and skill. Bob is very enraged about the press coverage races get. He said, “If no one is killed the press puts a two line report, but when someone dies it’s a front page headline.” Bob thinks the races are a safe means of enjoyment. He said, “out of almost 150,000 people at the Grand Prix, only two people died.

The season opener on Sept. 18 was a triangular meet with Houghton and Geneseo Colleges. Corning beat both four year college teams, 332-364 and 332-345 respectively. This makes Coming 2 and 0 for the season. Medalists for Corning were Frank Sorge with a 78 and Rocky Saia with a 79. There are four returnees from last year’s team. One is the Coach, Jerry Galloway, and the other three are Frank Sorge, Rocky Saia, and Greg Coon. There are a host of newcomers headed by Jeff Barnes. The next match is on Sept. 25 against Finger lakes. This year the team is also playing in the Mohawk Valley Invitational against 25 other Junior Colleges. Coach Galloway expects the team to hold their own against some tough opposition. For the ’72 and ’73 season, Corning was ranked fourth in the region. For the past three years, Corning’s record is 23-1. So you can see that we have a golf team to be proud of. Wrestling The Baron Grapplers are ready and waiting for a good season again this year. They have been hurt by losses of great wrestlers such as Emad Faddoul, Mark Gillespie and Tom McKeirny, but hope to bounce back with incoming freshmen. There are, however, some great wrestlers returning. In the 134 pound class, there is Jim Snyder from Bath and Mike Rathburn from Horseheads High School. In the 190 lb. class there is the strong, quick, smart Dave Carr from Elmira Free Academy; and in the heavyweight class we have Richard Pyhtilla, the “wild bear” from Southside High. Last year the team was 16 and 2, with 11 national and two Regional III wins. This will be Coach John Polo’s fourth year. For the past three years Coach Polo’s record is 40-6-1. A very impressive one at that! This year wrestling practice will start Monday, Oct. 15, at 4 p.m. The first home match will be Sat., Dec. 8 at 3 p.m. It is against Keystone C.C., LaPuna, Pa. They placed eighth in the Nationals last year. It will be a tough opener for the Grapplers, but it is hoped that the team will show that they are worthy opponents for any team they meet. Intramural wrestling will start the third week in April. “Now take a city that large and look at the accidental deaths everyday; they at least match or surpass two. Seventy-five percent of driving is concentration and anticipation, not only on the raceway but on the road,” says Bob, who believes if those two things are kept in mind while driving, the roads would be safer for everyone. Next year Bob will be racing professionally. He has just obtained the sponsorship of The Genesee Beer Company. So good luck to Bob Dugo and Henry Bennett in their racing endeavors. By the way, women libbers, Bob told me that there is no woman racing. The Powder Puff Derby is just an exhibition. In fact, they don’t even let .'omen in the pits at the races. So, if I were you, I would take Bob’s words into consideration. He said, “Racing is like sex, everyone can do it.” Last year the basketball team record was 16 and 15. Also last year was the second year in the history of the school that the team made regionals. The returning lettermen from last year are Bill Drake, Don Stoudmire, Jamie Roberts, Gerald Parker, Woodie Knowles, and possibly great Rich Rollins. Rich may not be able to play because he has working problems. This would be a sad loss for the team. The team lost both starting guards last year -- Pudge Briet-izwise and Mike Felix. Also, Jim Byrnes has left for better things. Another loss was Pat Richardson, the one man team, because of eligibility problems. Wayne Kenner is starting his fourth year of coaching. His first three were all winning years. Coach Kenner puts a lot of hope in his potentially great freshmen. He hopes for another winning season. Tryouts start Sept. 26 and last until Sept. 28. If anyone is interested in joining the team, he should see Mr. Kenner. He is looking for more speed and defense this year and is hoping for a regional win this year. C.C.C. 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 reasons. As of now, he has no record of Cross Country Club members. Please respond in this request with your name, address and telephone number. LAUGHTER .

For example, how many of us have put the ice water bottle back in the refrigerator with justenough water left so we won’t have to refill it? Be honest now. That’s how I got involved in comedy ... it just sort of happened. Once I decided it was away to make a living, the struggle was on. Breaking into show business is one of the hardest . . . longest . . . most discouraging things you can do. If you want to make the old school try, you better have plenty of guts and determination ’cause you’ll need all you can muster up. I was quite satisfied with my work after I got going. Night clubs were good to me . . . and TV suddenly started opening up. It wasn’t until “I Spy” came along that I really established ... at least to a certain degree. It was so completely different from anything I had ever known. Storytelling is one thing, but playing a definite character . . . and serious yet . . . that’s something else. I also play a serious character in my first film “Man and Boy.” I really enjoyed it. I must admit I was nervous in the beginning, but the experience has really been great for me. I know it’s hard to keep pushing yourself into different areas, but you have to if you want to be around in a few years. In this business, if you stand still, you disappear! Intramural Softball at C.C.C. is underway with two teams still undefeated. T.B.A. sports a 3-0 record after a convincing 13-0 win over The Stars and a 23-10 trouncing of The Wedges. T.B.A. also whipped J & J Bar, 9-5. The Fractured Faculty is also 3-0, with solid victories over J& J Bar, 8-2 and an identical score over The Stars. The Faculty also came up with a big win over The Kings, 2-1. The Kings are close behind in third place via an 8-1 slamming of The Stars and a win by forfeit. This season should produce a close race all the way, with The Faculty, The Kings, and T.B.A., the favorites. J&JBar, The Wedges, The Stars and The Heads all have an outside chance at nabbing first place. STANDINGS fEAM RECORD COACH Fractured Faculty . . 3-0 T.B.A 3-0 Kings 2-1 . . .
