Colleges Steer Students On Career Path
-News Release
A college degree has become an almost mandatory requirement for entering today’s job market, but enrolling in college doesn’t always mean a student knows where he or she is headed.
Many students faced with the looming question of what to do after graduation find answers by working with their school’s career development center. Whether a student has chosen a career path or is bogged down with too many (or lack of) interests in a particular field, career development centers offer services that can help students envision a successful future.
Coming Community College’s Career Development Center is helping end students’ confusion by providing them with ways to explore their options not only at CCC, but also after they have received their two-year degrees.
“Our main focus is on job placement and transfer,” said Nancy Andrews, Career Development Center director. “A major part of our student orientation is stressing the importance of career planning and making students aware of the services we offer.”
The center’s staff works to emphasize to students the importance of career development. Their services include:	offering state-of-the-art re-
sources; providing maximum education and employment opportunities to students and graduates; and helping students and graduates realize their career potential by assisting them in the transition from college to work and/or transfer.
To introduce students to the vast array of options open to them, the Career Development Center has three resource rooms that students can use individually and at their own pace. One room is filled with all the literature and materials students need to explore transfer options, while another focuses on job placement. A computer room contains software, such as FOCUS II, a career and educational planning system, and Resume Expert, a job placement service, designed to aid students in their career planning and job placement. Once students have explored these resources, they can make an appointment
with a career counselor and begin the process of transfer or job search.
Many students enroll at Coming Community College with the plan of transferring to a four-year institution. CCC has over 40 transfer/articulation agreements, plus 15 pending agreements, with SUNY and private New York State and Pennsylvania schools. Students find these agreements particularly appealing because they allow easy entrance into four-year programs--without losing any credits—by providing course and grade point average requirements.
“We like to present CCC as a really great bargain because planning students can literally save thousands of dollars on their first two years of college. And by working with the transfer agreements, students can still complete their education in four years,” Andrews said.	—
For students who decide to enter the job market as soon as they receive their Associate degrees, Andrews feels that the Career Development Center’s most valuable service is Resume Expert. Students complete a resume format on CD-ROM, and the information is then up-loaded into a data base at the center. From the data base, resumes can be searched to meet job opening requirements, then directly faxed to employers or printed to be sent out.
“Today’s job market is very competitive and having Resume Expert increases our students’ employment opportunities because they can immediately respond to job openings,” Andrews said. The system’s other benefits lie in giving students a resume they can begin building through part-time work, internships, and co-curricular activities.
Through all its services, the Career Development Center’s goal is to give students a positive outlook on career planning. “More than anything, we try to make our students see that even the smallest possibility can become a reality,” Andrews said.

CCC Professor Recovering From
110 Ft. Fall
—David Alan Scott Jr.and Kim Tubbs Several weeks ago, while fishing in Watkins Glen, CCC Professor Henry Moonschein fell 110 feet down a cliff. He rolled and slid for most of the fall, but the last 25 feet were a straight drop.
After having surgery on Sep-
tember 10, he is—at press time—waiting to be transferred from Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, PA, to Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, NY, for rehabilitation.
Having received no head injury from the fall, he is conscious and talking. It is still unsure whether he will be able to walk again.
A long-time teacher and direc-
tor of plays at CCC, Moonschein retired as head of the theater department in the Spring of 1996.
His last show as such was "Another Opening, Another Show," a revue of scenes from the 26 years' worth of musicals he directed at Coming. The show was dedicated to directors George Coburn and Kurt Powell, who died in a plane crash in Fall 1995.
His most recent projects this year included performing "The Gin Game" in April with his wife Janet, as well as organizing a trip to London and Scotland (which earned students grades as a three-credit course) back in May.
With hope, Moonschein will recover as much as possible and still be able to organize theater-related projects.
To support him during this difficult time, cards and letters can be sent to his home at 1 Oakwood Dr., Coming, NY, 14830.
Thanks to Sally Carr, Jackie Porter, and Joan Rogerson for assistance with this article.

CCC Foundation Presents Second Gift to College
-News Release
The Coming Community College Development Foundation, Inc. has announced its second gift to the college in the 1996-97 fiscal year.
A gift of $40,000 from the Foundation combined with $27,400 from the Connecting for Success annual campaign was presented to the college in order to re-equip the C109 computer lab with state-of-the-art Pentium computers.
The newly equipped computer lab will be used primarily by students in the business administration, computer science, communications, and admissions departments. According to Jayne Peaslee, chairperson of the Business Administration Division, there will also be open hours in the lab so other students can utilize its facilities.
"We appreciate the support from the Foundation that has enabled us to have state-of-the-art equipment which is also a marketing feature because it shows that CCC continues to be a leading teaching institution," said Peaslee.
The newly equipped computer lab features 24 Pentium computers and a multimedia teaching station which allows the instructor to project software applications onto a large screen for easy viewing.
The college Board of Trustees approached the Foundation with the request for new computers which the Foundation then honored.
"The purpose of the Foundation is to benefit and support the college," said Foundation President-elect Marianne Young. "We hope that all students on campus will benefit from the new lab. It is important that students work with state-of-the-art equipment to develop skills which will make them more competitive."
In addition to supporting the interests of CCC, the Foundation acts as a link to the business community; manages current assets, owns property, and acts as arepository for funds from grants, gifts, and bequests; and solicits funds for the college.

CCC Ranks Second in State Study of Transfer Rates
—News Release
Coming Community College ranked second in a recent study evaluating the rate of students who continue to stay enrolled in an academic institution after transferring from SUNY two-year colleges to SUNY four-year institutions.
The data compares the number of students from the state’s 30 community colleges who transferred in the fall of 1995 to SUNY four-year colleges and were still enrolled in the fall of 1996.
The study was released by the Central Staff Office of SUNY’s Institutional Research. Jamestown Community College ranked first in the study with a rate of 82.63 with CCC following in a close second with a rate of 81.25. The study has consistently ranked CCC in the top five for the past three years. The college ranked first in 1995 and fourth in 1994.

Web Site Brings Financial
Aid Expertise
-News Release
Have you ever wished a financial aid expert would just appear out of thin air whenever you needed help? Someone to help you wade through applications, instructions, and other materials that can help make sense of the financial aid process? While it’s not likely that an expert will just appear, but if you have a computer and Internet access, you can have the next best thing-Financial Aid lOlsm.
Financial Aid 101, Sallie Mae’s new multimedia course on paying for college, is part of the company’s awardwinning Web site, www.salliemae.com.

to Students
How do I qualify? 3) How do I apply? 4) What happens after I apply? and 5) What do I do if I need a loan?
Each lesson expounds on its individual topic. For example, under lesson four, What happens after I apply?, users gain an understanding of the financial aid award process, such as the differences among Pell Grants, loans, and school-based aid.
In lesson five, What do I do if I need a loan?, users are introduced to Stafford, PLUS, and private loans and learn what to look for in a lender. Each lesson features interesting graphics, a five question quiz, and a learning reinforcement game with excellent sound effects.

How To Use The College Accident And Health Insurance Program
By Madeline Uhl, RN College Nurse College Health Office
All students and dependents who have enrolled in the insurance program designed for Coming Community College have coverage from August 23, 1997 to August 23,1998. This coverage is for any illness or accident, not just incidents occurring while you are on campus.
You may use the insurance without approval from the College Health Office. If you become ill and need the assistance of your personal care provider, advise your provider that you are covered by Marbel Insurance Company. (You will be receiving an insurance card verification with your policy number in the mail at a later date.)
In order to file a claim, you will need a claim form which can be obtained from the College Health Office or Academic Information Center. A cover sheet with directions as how to file a claim accompanies the claim forms.
Your personal provider need not sign the form-but you must attach a copy of all your bills to the claim form. The bills include the medical visit, prescription, X-ray, laboratory tests, physical therapy etc.
Submit the completed form along with your bills to the Marbel Agency not the Health Office. If you have already paid the bills and are seeking reimbursement the paid receipts must be attached to your claim.
If you have any questions regarding the claim, please direct them to the Marbel agency. The toll free number is on the claim form.

—Press Release
You may think you know all there is, but your knowledge of sexually transmitted diseases (STD) is probably based more on fiction than fact. And embarrassment about talking to a doctor or other health-care provider may keep you from learning the real facts so you know what’s true, what isn’t, and how you can be protected from getting-- or transmitting— an STD.
If you think you’re not at risk, think again. More than eight million people under the age of 25 have an STD, and young adults are at the greatest risk of acquiring them. Why? Because these are your most sexually active years, so you are more likely to have multiple partners, engage in unprotected sex, and have partners whose risk of having an STD is greater than most adults.
Take a few minutes to answer Fact (true) or Fiction (false) to the following questions and find out if your STD IQ is high enough to help keep you safe. And whether you pass or fail, a trip to your student health center will help you learn about the latest in STD prevention and treatment.
Fact or Fiction
1.	I can’t get a STD if I don’t have intercourse.
2.	All types of birth control will protect me from STDs.
3.	The most common STD on college campuses is human papillomavirus (HPV), the virus that causes genital warts.
4.	AIDS is not a problem on college campuses.
5.	Viral STDs (like genital warts and herpes) cannot be cured.
6.	Condoms provide 100% protection from HPV.
7.	All STDs have symptoms.
8.	If I get and STD, I’ll never be able to have sex again — ever.
9.	Women are at greater risk than men for STDs.
10.	You can only have one STD at a time.
Answers
1.	FICTION. Some STDs, such as genital warts and herpes, can be spread either by genital to genital, hand to genital, or skin to skin contact with an infected area.
2.	FICTION. Birth control devises like the pill and contraceptive foams and jellies do just one thing: protect against pregnancy. While latex condoms help protect against some STDs, they do not cover all areas of possible infection and may leave you at risk for some of the most common STDs such as HPV and Herpes.
3.	FACT. There are more than 80 different types of HPV, and 9% of all college students have had an HPV infection. Also studies have linked HPV infection to a higher risk of cervical cancer in young women and prostate cancer in men later on.
4.	FICTION. While the number of young adults in college with AIDS is relatively low (one in five hundred), you significantly increase your chances

5.	FACT. Viral STDs can be treated and managed but not cured.
6.	FICTION. Viral STDs can be transmitted through skin to skin contact other than intercourse.
7.	FICTION. Many STDs, such as HPV, initially cause no symptoms, especially in women. When symptoms develop, they may be confused with those of other diseases not transmitted through sexual contact. And because they may have no symptoms, they are easily spread.
8.	FICTION. Remember that some STDs like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Syphilis are curable. Others, like genital warts and genital herpes, are treatable and manageable.
9.	FACT. Because of their anatomy and physiology, women are at a greater risk than men for acquiring STDs and the complications related to STDs.
10.	FICTION. You can have more than one STD at a time because each STD is transmitted the same way...through intimate contact.

Have You Seen Venus Williams?
CCC Fall Sports Schedules
—by Matthew Sweet
When amazing new players come onto the sporting circuit, everyone tends to jump onto the band wagon. These young stars either bring disillusioned fans back to the sport, or they bring fans to the sport that might not consider it if it weren’t for these players.
We all know who these superstars are because they are in the spotlight all the time: Stars like Tiger Woods in golf, Pavel Bure in hockey, Nomar Garciaparra and Derek Jeter in baseball, Rebecca Lobo in women’s basketball and of course, Michael J ordan in men's basketball (Michael Jordan isn’t young anymore, but his style of play is still so exceptional at the age of 33 that he still brings fans to the arenas wherever he goes).
The sport of tennis, however, has lost its appeal in the public eye. The world doesn’t recognize tennis as much as they used to, because the sport doesn ’ t have those dynamic personalities that were so prominent in the eighties. We all have heard of John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, and Bjom Borg. All three of which, attracted millions of people to watch and play the game.
Today, the personalities of tennis are lacking. Emotions in the game are so stoic. There is no one in the game who is willing to do a victory lap around the court, like Jimmy Connors used to. There’s nobody, either, to spew out a gorilla roar when he’s mad, like John McEnroe used to...
People have been losing interest in tennis because there has been nobody in the sport that people can relate to that perpetuates the grand ideal that Connors and McEnroe created. The racquets today, are huge! The extraordinarily large sweet spots have brought players to levels of play they shouldn’t be at. The larger racquets with greater sweet spots have devastatingly cheapened the game to a level where the common consumer takes no interest anymore.
Is there a tennis player today that can bring out the dynamic ideals that were so apparent in the eighties? Is
there a Rebecca Lobo, a Tiger Woods, or a Nomar Garciaparra of tennis that can bring tennis back to a major sporting event again? I think there is...
Has anyone seen Venus Williams?' She is a six-foot two-inch 17-year old sensation on the circuit now, who is burning up the tennis court! Her first serves are clocked at 120 miles an hour, and fifty-five percent of these serves are in. Her tone 6’2” frame and aggressive style of play help her hit the ball menacingly hard at any position she is in. Williams hits the ball so hard that she could be a formidable foe in any men’s league.
To date, this is only Venus William’s first Grand Slam event in her career. She has only played in 18 professional matches in the past four years. Ten of those came this year. Her father has kept Venus and her sister Serena out of the spotlight until they were mature enough to engage in the stardom. He was afraid that they were too young for stardom. He was afraid that something would happen to his daughters, like what happened to Jennifer Capriotti or Darryl Strawberry a few years ago.
Now that Venus is old enough to play in the Grad Slam tournaments, you are going to see a lot more of her in the future. In the years to come, she and her sister will either steal the show from the other players, or they will bring the level of women’s tennis a step or two higher, making the game all the more interesting again.
Look for Venus Williams at a tournament near you!
ERRATUM: I wrote this article in the beginning of the US Open Tournament. Venus Williams defeated six of her opponents, including number eight Anka Huber and number twelve Alexi Komakova. The amazing thing was that she climbed all the way to the tournament final. She lost the final, 6-0,6-4. Now remember that this is only her first Grand Slam tournament and was competitive against the #1 player in the world! She’s HOT!

Bitchin’ in the Kitchen
Tilings Tlint Sucfe,
—by L.A. Wilcox
Welcome to a brand new school year. Hope you enjoyed your summer. For anybody who happened to read the paper last year, you will notice I have changed the name of my column to more closely fit my personality. I will provide you with not only recipes this year but with insightful comments on world problems.
First on the agenda: parking at CCC. Generally speaking, I have no problem with Public Safety. They do a fine job, but they seem to be extremely lax in ticketing people who park over the white line. These chuckleheads who park over the white line shaft everybody else by not leaving others room to park. Public Safety should slap the yellow boot right on their cars. If you have an opinion on this, please share it with me, addressed to The Crier.
For those of you who park legally and considerately, please enjoy the following recipes.
BROCCOLI VICHYSSOISE (a ferociously good soup, cold or hot)
Saute with 1 stick butter: a couple of washed, chopped leeks 1 average peeled potato
1 good-sized head of broccoli
Add:
1 large glass of dry white wine sprinkles of dill, salt, pepper, lemon pepper (optional, to taste)
1 quart half-and-half
Simmer very slowly until the potato is very soft and mix well in blender. Serve either hot with cheese croutons (do not boil when you re-heat), or serve cold.
FESTIVAL COOKIES
Cream together:
1 cup unsalted softened butter 3 oz. softened cream cheese 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp. vanilla extract
Stir in:
2 cups all-purpose flour
Using a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon, shape dough into small balls and set 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Make a small "thumbprint" lightly on top of each cookie, and place, cut side down, half a small strawberry in each thumbprint.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12 - 15 minutes or until very lightly browned. (Makes about 5 dozen.)

STUDENT VOICE
Untitled
By Lisa Marie
It reflects such an illuminating darkness You’ll encounter such distressing trials through your existence Confusion will always be there.
It will, like a harsh breeze, reach up and grasp you
Tearing you apart, like it might separate a petal from a rose.
You will struggle for it not to overcome you,
But even as a rock must eventually give
in to such treatment
You will also take your turn
It will consume you in darkness, no
chance for an escape.
Though there is the game it sometimes plays
Allowing you to see such a divine light Then slowly, it pulls you back into the clutches of reality
It reveals the horror of what you’ve become.
You are alone,
But that isn’t the worst part of your punishment.
You have to accept
Your loneliness as the result of your own actions and desires.
In my own darkness I hear a woman crying
To find her I follow her trail of tears When I come to her I see only her tear strained eyes,
They seam oddly familiar.
Her eyes appear to be somehow heavenly
They withhold kindness and love Something of which, I lacked in my own.
She stopped her crying, and smiled.
The Young Black Man
By Aaron Daniel Waters
His eyes sparkle with sights of things
achieved.
His soul moves like swelling waters relieved.
He hears the sounds of African homeland.
The sounds are like a symphony, like a musical band.
The sounds play continuous melodies, As his heart rises to sing the harmonies.
His strength is like the lion.
His spirit keeps on climbin'
He will not be stopped by discrimination.
His intelligence is his determination. He knows who he is and where he's headed.
He has the power to relieve fears and things that are dreaded.
He's rich with history and wonderful delights.
His ancestors of the past are his starlights.
When he feels he can't go on, he leans on God's Everlasting hand,
And rests in a temporary Promised Land.
Though when he is rested,
He has power to stand, even when tried and tested.
Though trying to judge this young black man by his color,
Realize that dwelling in him is the spirit of One who is stronger!
Dedicated to the young black man, also my friends Kevin Mathis and Jerome Berry.
Inspired by Jerome Berry.
Under The Stars
By Angela Perry
For all the chances we took
For all the time well spent
Now you're gone, and back we look
Followed by letters now sent
I'm gonna be all right
And I know you will too
In my dreams you'll be there to hold
me tight
Our memories together will help me feel less blue
Tears may sometimes fall
And once in a while my head will hit the
wall
But your leaving was worth your coming Its the end of our movie and the credits are running
Poems are not my specialty But then neither are relationships As I sit alone and drink my tea Aimlessly the remote control flips
There's a movie on that we watched together
I wish we could be together forever Overall we will be all right Althought vivid dreams are dreamt at night
The dream of you is my favorite one It is you and I under the sun Or maybe you and I under the stars Or you and I driving our cars...
I think about you every day
And miss you more than words can say
I dream about you every night
In my dreams you'll be there to hold me
tight
Sweet Dreams Timmers! I love and miss you very much! —Angela
Names Not Numbers, Please
By Megan Maslar
"Hello Heidi."
I felt as if I was soaring high above the clouds that Tuesday of the first week of classes. For once I had remembered the face AND name from last semester- she had the same hair, the same facial features, and the same look.
Except her name wasn't Heidi.
I don't know about you, but I seem to have so much trouble matching faces with names. I'll usually be walking down the halls when I hear someone say, "Hi Megan," whereupon I rack my brain for a list of names of people I know. Not finding a name that fits, I usually freeze on the spot, muttering something like, "Ummmm, hi, what's your, ummm, name again?"
I do much better remembering phone numbers. For example, the number for Records and Registration is 962-9220. How do you know I am not just copying it from the college catalog? Believe me, when you have to call there more times in a semester than the number of days in a month, you tend to remember the phone number easily.
I have my tricks for memorizing phone numbers. I look at 936-9220 and think, Well, both'numbers start with a nine. In the first, 9-3=6 and 6-2=4 (a succession). The second number is more exact- leave the nine alone, subtract 2 from 2 and you get the last number 0.
Huh?
My point exactly.
You may not quite get my way of remembering the numbers, but, likewise, I can never understand the techniques that I've heard about for remembering names. For instance, it is suggested that a name could be associated with a person's prominent feature(s). But I don't see how this can be done.
I think I will just start demanding that people wear name tags.

Horoscopes

An intense light suddenly shone behind her
It blinded my darkly adjusted eyes And the woman stared at me with her soul
She told me, we are not alone.
Another game, I thought with little faith Then just as fast as the light had come, it disappeared The woman too, was gone.
And again I am alone.
I miss her now And I cry
While trying so hard to remember What color were her eyes?
